00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:02.560
Hello! This is not Dr.
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:03.120
Dr.
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.640
Richard, one of the key players in Richard and Carl with a K presents Deep Space and Dragons.
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.160
Uh and this is not Dr.
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:12.640
K.
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:15.199
That could be a Doctor, but it's not Dr.
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:15.599
K.
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:16.480
For the record, Dr.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.480
K is a drug dealer name.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:22.079
Probably deals ketamine.
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:29.679
There's no way that if like uh say Longy Moscow was to go see Dr.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.079
K, it means he's macro dosing horse tranquilizer, like.
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.679
So before we get into a deep talk of which billionaires are probably on ketamine, what's new with you?
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.679
That is not our topic this week, but it could be.
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:44.799
What's new with you?
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:56.320
Okay, uh well, so uh I'm not sure if I if I've actually officially announced this on anywhere on our podcasts, but you know, I'm I'm getting married this year.
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.920
I I want to point out something.
00:00:58.159 --> 00:00:59.920
I have to point out something.
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.200
You have said that at the start of every episode for the last two months.
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.159
Yeah.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.319
And I just that's so good.
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.599
I don't know if I announced this.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.439
And I'm like, you a Okay.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.040
You think at the start of every episode?
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.599
Must know to me isn't always about my wedding.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.359
But it works its way in.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.480
Like, I think they got the full suitgate story.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.959
Suit gate story?
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.799
Uh yeah, I don't know if they did.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:31.840
I I still think you need to wash all your guests on hot to shrink them so the suits fit.
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.000
Okay, so this week's shenanigans are not about uh suits.
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.680
This week's shenanigans are about Kate.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:40.959
You know what's even better though?
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.760
Is if I say suitcate and we didn't ever talk about it, that's all the information they ever get.
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.239
That's like perfect 10 out of 10.
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.519
Well, and and we have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not the story came up in this podcast or or in our Daggerheart podcast.
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:03.359
Well, what's even better is some episodes I'll like upload, the auto quality will be off, and I'll just scrap some and not tell anybody, so there's just lost content.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:07.200
Anyway.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.919
So you won't actually know which episodes have aired unless you listen to all our episodes, which you obviously do as our lead quality checker.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.840
That's that's my entire role.
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:28.080
Like, I'm pretty sure there's episodes where my audio just doesn't go through the entire thing, it's just you talking one side into a wall, and I still uploaded it anyway, and got like 30 downloads somehow.
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.199
There is no qual Like I I'm gonna say this with all the love in my heart.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.280
McDonald's has substantially better quality checking than us.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.159
I mean that sincerely and seriously.
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.120
Like a person comes in and audits occasionally.
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:58.080
Uh but so so uh my my fiance, uh, she decided that uh she wanted to get our wedding cake from crave cupcakes.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.400
I mean, I hear good things about crave cupcakes, like this kind of track so far.
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:08.719
Ooh, is it gonna be one of those instead of an actual cake, it's just a massive collage of cupcakes, therefore removing the cutting process?
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.319
Because those are great.
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.240
I hadn't thought about getting into trying to do a collage.
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:26.319
Because like you could literally have them with this a collage of cupcakes, because each one's like a large pixel, do like a pixel art, like do up like an 8-bit Zelda Sprite style of you and your fiance and cupcakes.
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:27.439
Like, come on.
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:28.960
That's sweet.
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.800
Uh that is sweet, but that's not that wasn't very blind.
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.919
But the pun was intended.
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:35.840
It wasn't.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.719
Anyways.
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.000
Uh so she decides that she wants to get our wedding cake from Craig Cupcakes.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.919
Uh she takes out her style.
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:49.919
She wants the Bridgeton cupcake.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.520
Or the Bridgeton cake.
00:03:51.759 --> 00:04:06.400
Uh I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact she that she likes the Bridgerton Netflix show, but probably not even related in the slightest, but I mean You should know these things.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.800
I there's no way I would know these things.
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:16.240
So she takes me to create cupcakes, and she was like, well, I tried these cupcakes, and I'm like, okay, yeah, they're delicious.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.360
Whatever.
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.120
I mean, don't!
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.480
Bad Carl.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.120
Don't say to your fiance they're delicious, whatever.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.439
I didn't I didn't say whatever.
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.199
I I I just Yeah, you didn't say it to her just publicly on the internet.
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.879
I I am invested in in this way.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.360
I just be.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.120
I just don't really care about much about the fine details, that's her department.
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:47.040
I'm just saying, A, after talking with some of my friends about what my best man's status will impale, they're like, no, no, no.
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.319
Carl is the groom.
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.639
Your only job is to not let him run away and make sure he shows up sober.
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.519
That's it.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.319
You're not the one looking at cupcakes and flower arrangements.
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.279
And then I took a screenshot when I was asked about flower arrangements last night.
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:13.759
Anyways.
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:19.199
Um so we decided that we want to get Craig cupcakes, and it's delicious.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.279
We try we take we taste test, it's good.
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:30.639
Um, she chooses her cake, uh, she sends them an email, and they're like, Okay, uh, this is your order.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:39.199
Um we have to we are you're getting we're getting an eight-inch cake for the head table, and then everybody else gets cupcakes.
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.800
That's a good plan.
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:44.639
Like, I I approve of this strategy straight up.
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:59.600
Um and uh so they send us back the email, they they want you know all the information about what the order is, and the last thing they ask for they're like, okay, before we can set up this draft order for you, we need your credit card information.
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.040
That makes sense.
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:16.720
And well, I'm just like I I don't know if I'm being difficult, but there's something I like I know they're legitimate business, but there's something about sending my credit card information by email or even over the phone.
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.480
It's like I don't I don't want to send it over the phone or by email.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.920
So I'm gonna give you in the audience some life advice here.
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:37.600
So moving to the big city, everything wanted my credit card from being allowed to use the elevator in my building to the garbage removal truck to the moving truck to like everyone wants my credit card.
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.439
That's why I have multiple.
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:46.560
I have a crappy credit card with a short limit to use in these situations where the fraud can only cap it like a grand.
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:59.360
So, like, my advice to you is go out and get a crappy Walmart credit card, they'll literally mail it to you in like three days, and use that for sketchy online things, because they can only fraud you for like 2,000 bucks.
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.279
That's my thing, it's get a credit card that's less attached to you as a person is my life hack.
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.279
I have a fine array of credit cards I've been credit card credit rating maxing over the last year.
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.519
I think I've given you this rant where it's like, this is my Rogers one, which only pays my phone bill.
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.079
This is my Tim Hortons one that only pays my Tim Hortons.
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:23.360
This is my Amazon one that's set to auto-receive payments from my books to low over my Amazon credit card.
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:29.120
None of these credit card and then I just kind of rotate through them in a sequence to slowly build credit.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.759
It's like, look how much look how much credit he's building.
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.680
I'm like, this world's broken.
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.959
Because it's like the idea that my credit rating is substantially better by having five credit cards than zero is ironic.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:43.920
Because one of those is smart.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:50.240
Anyway, TLDR, I do think you're being a bit paranoid because the world has shifted to a weird police state.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:53.680
Like, I think I told you to like get an apartment.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:08:05.120
It used to be you'd give them first months red in a polite handshake, and now it's like they wanted pay stubs for both my jobs and my ID and my SIN number and just so much documents.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:15.439
And my landlord was nice, like, this was a private citizen, companies are worse, they'll be like, yeah, we're gonna need a credit report, and your last six pay stubs, and two letters of recommendation.
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.399
And I'm just like, no wonder people are on house.
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:19.839
This is ridiculous.
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.839
So that sounds like a big city problem.
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:33.600
Yeah, but like the microcosm is that people just expect you to give them more information and it's insurance than they used to for pretty much anything.
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:34.480
Hmm.
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:39.360
So Okay, well, so I I don't have a problem with giving them my credit card.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:40.639
Give them a credit card.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.960
I have a problem with giving my credit card via email.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.399
It's weirdly calm.
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.639
Did you know email actually has more legal protections than most forms of communication?
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:51.840
Really?
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.080
Yeah, legally, you cannot have a company data mine off your email.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.399
Say that to any other delegital service.
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.759
Like, because email's old enough that they actually have legislation around it.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:10.879
Fair enough.
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.679
So basically the TLDR is I believe you're completely right and justified, and the world's not gonna let you get away with it.
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.159
Because we just gave up freedom.
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.159
We've given up freedom.
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.240
So just be happy they didn't ask you for like the other half of your spleen.
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:34.000
Well, so we send them an email, we're like, yeah, we're not comfortable sending our credit card by email.
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.080
Uh can we pay in store?
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.480
And they're uh this they're like, okay, yeah, you can pay in store.
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:47.919
Uh but because we didn't get payment, the draft order won't be on file, so you'll have to place your order when you go into store.
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.279
Fine, I can do that.
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.399
I have the order on my phone, I can go do that.
00:09:52.960 --> 00:10:02.879
So I go into the store, I give them the order, and they're looking on the little tablet, they're getting all the information, and then they're like, Oh, you can't you can't book that far in advance.
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:06.960
Our our our system only lets us book a month in advance.
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.720
And uh That's dumb on their part.
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.080
I didn't pay my parking.
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.320
Uh, so I was like, whatever, I'll come back another day because I didn't want a good ticket.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.600
Reasonable.
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:26.159
So I I go home and I have to uh admit my defeat to my fiance.
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:35.039
And she's like, okay, well, I'm gonna send them an email, and uh the person uh the email is like, oh, I don't know why you couldn't couldn't put that far in advance.
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.240
I'll look into this.
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:43.759
I like to imagine, by the way, you walk in, tears in your eyes and go, I've old you, and she's like, they're cupcakes.
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.840
That has to be how that played out.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:51.039
But continue.
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.600
That's more likely to be the other way around.
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.720
She would cry over the cupcakes, and I would just be like, Yeah, they're cupcakes.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.559
I don't believe that for a second.
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.080
I absolutely believe you're the more emotionally frail of the two.
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:03.440
I know you very well.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.759
Anyways.
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:16.559
So she uh she emails them back, like, okay, well, you know, you could like pay over the phone, or you you know, should be able to pay in store.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:26.320
Um so I go back to Creative Capcake again, and I'm like, okay, I want to place this order for my wedding.
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:30.879
Uh, and they're like, okay, do you have the draft order?
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:40.080
And I'm like, well, no, I I don't have the draft order because we told the person we were talking to that we were gonna pay in store.
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:44.000
Uh and they said there wouldn't be a draft order until we paid.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:52.960
And the person in the store is like, well, in store we can only book a month in advance if you want to book further in advance, you need to have a draft order.
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.759
And I'm like, well, I'm here to pay so I can get the draft order.
00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:00.960
So like, well, you can't pay until you get the draft order.
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.840
Like, but but it can't be both ways.
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.360
Like, I think I've mentioned this before.
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:13.120
My biggest pet peeve of all, and I do mean everything, including like this goes above actual war crimes.
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.879
Is when someone won't let me give the money for their service.
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:18.720
Yeah.
00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:23.600
Like, it drives me nuts to be like, um, no, this isn't possible.
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:30.399
Like, I think I ranted about trying to get my phone line, uh, my internet set up where I'm like, I'm trying to pay you money.
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.399
Why are you fighting me?
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:34.159
I don't understand.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.919
When I literally said to someone on the phone, I'm like, oh, I'll I'm like, do you know what you're doing?
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.559
And they're like, yes.
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.240
I'm like, I don't think you do.
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.000
Can I talk to somebody who doesn't cognitively offload with AI their day-to-day thinking process?
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.960
Because, like, you gotta be able to just write a note.
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:55.200
Like, just write down this man has paid, and like stick it somewhere.
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:01.440
Like should not be this hard.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.679
Type it into your personal Google Calendar.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.879
This month is the K wedding, and then an alarm goes up.
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:09.759
Like, I don't.
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:10.320
Oh.
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.960
I'm getting vicariously annoyed at this just to let you feel vindicated.
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:16.720
I'm like, oh, how dare.
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:23.200
Uh, but so I mean, the person I talked to the second time ha was far more helpful.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:31.519
And they're like, okay, um, well, I'm just gonna collect all the information that we need, and uh we'll get this set up for you.
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.360
Um the person you were emailing back and forth isn't working today, so I can't talk to them directly.
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:42.159
But you know, you don't have a customer number yet or anything, so we'll have to get this draft board made up.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.600
Uh much to my chagrin.
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.320
Like say I'm perfectly willing to pay.
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.600
I have the credit card.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:56.080
Uh I was a little bit bummed out that I still had to leave my credit card information with them.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.840
As opposed to actually just making payment right then and there.
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:05.360
You know it's funny that your identity gets stolen more often than mine when you can literally Google me.
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:15.600
Well, yeah, I mean, I've I've only ever actually been victim to credit fraud once, as far as I know.
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.600
But it made you so mad.
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:26.879
Well, so it it did make me really mad because uh at the time uh we were playing the SD Gundam online.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.000
Or at least I was, I don't know if you were still playing them.
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:42.559
Oh, I was um and uh to get the Taiwanese um play cards, you had to order them through a uh American website.
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.320
And uh so then it was like five American dollars or something like that.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:58.240
Um I did this like three times, you know, spent five American dollars, and then my credit card gets cut off, shut shut off.
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.080
And they're like, yeah, that was suspicious.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.480
You spent five American dollars, you live in Canada.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.639
Okay, like turn my credit card back on, that was me.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.200
I do it again, like, hey, you know, that's five American dollars, that's suspicious.
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.200
It is kind of suspicious.
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.720
I I know this.
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:22.799
Uh the third time, I'm like, hey, can you like put this website on your safe for this user list or something?
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.559
Because like I am buying this five dollar Taiwanese card off this American website.
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.799
Like that's just that's me.
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.879
And they're like, okay.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:45.759
Then a couple months later, maybe it was because of the suspicious website, but my credit card has like a$1,500 American American dollar payment purchase or something.
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:51.600
Um, and it's like the single largest purchase I had ever made uh today on on my card.
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:55.039
And they didn't notice.
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:02.799
I was like, um this like plastic surgery place in like Wisconsin?
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.120
That wasn't me.
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:07.120
Can you guys fix this?
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.519
And like, oh yeah, we're sorry, sometimes things slip through the cracks.
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:17.679
Anyways.
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.480
They were so vigilant when it was you.
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:22.320
Yeah.
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.000
But ridiculousness of credit card companies aside.
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:36.320
I I think we'll have to follow up with credit card cakes, but I think uh our order has been drafted into the army.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.639
Yet again, you're trying to pay them.
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.120
It should have been as simple as I would like to give you money for this goods and service, and they say okay.
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.279
That should be the entire process.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:53.279
Well, and I'm a little bit confused, but why you can't book that far in advance in the store?
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.279
Like what why is there a different process?
00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.200
Oh, incompetence.
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:12.319
They want an email pinned on their inbox attached to the calendar so the manager person can type that into the calendar, because they simply do not trust the people at the cashier to type in Actually, let me put this way, Carl.
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.240
Say I told you I wanted redacted pizza to cater my wedding.
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.759
Would you trust the person at the till to ring that in, or would you rather them call you?
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:31.680
Like, if you had to give an instruction if someone came in and was like, oh, I would like to book a wedding, would it not be a wise policy to be like, okay, person of the tale, tell them to email me.
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.960
Please.
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:36.799
Oh.
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:43.599
Well, I mean, uh, my my workplace is is unusual in that uh we don't really like emails.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.359
But I stand by my statement that you'd want them to talk to an adult.
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:57.359
Uh but uh yeah, I I will say a more professional pizza place probably would prefer to receive uh large orders like that by an email.
00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.039
I I'm gonna let me rephrase.
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:05.759
Do you trust the average tail watcher in your place to successfully p tell you about something happening in eight months?
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.359
And have it wrote it down, it informs you intelligibly.
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.440
Well you're barking up the wrong tree.
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.720
Because you have complete faith.
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.359
Complete faith in it, got it.
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:24.960
We can just put in the order as soon as they make it.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.160
Yeah.
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:34.799
They they make the order a month in advance, and we just put it in, and then it sits on the line for eight months, and then it prints off an hour before it needs to be there.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.200
You see, there's still like for a wedding, you still see the fly, right?
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.319
Your 30 pizza oh, that's so funny as your 30 pizzas coming out on random Friday, everyone forgot about.
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:53.039
Have to go borrow dough from the other store because no one bothered to tell you they booked in a wedding.
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.359
I'm just saying I see the train of thought.
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.880
I'm not saying I agree with it.
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:10.319
I'm saying I understand the concept of we shouldn't handle weddings in store when we're a bakery, and we don't know that anyone everyone can we will want people to make promises they can't keep and have angry brides beat us to death.
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:16.799
Yeah, no, I I I I I can kind of understand the whole thought process.
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:20.079
It just don't understand why it was so difficult.
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:25.119
Yeah, like I'm with them up until the part where you came in the store and they didn't just figure it out.
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:32.559
But but then the same day, uh, I need to renew like my tenant insurance.
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.599
That's one of my many new expenses.
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:45.359
So I I go to the uh to the insurance office, and uh I'm like, okay, I'm here to renew my tenant insurance.
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:50.640
I forgot to bring the paper with my policy number, but can you look it up by my name or phone number or whatever?
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.680
Like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.240
We can look it up.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:54.640
That sounds like my number.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:56.400
And they they look it up.
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:59.519
They're like, okay, I'll have to go get you a broker.
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.720
I'm like, why can't you just like take payment like right here?
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.039
Like I'm standing next to a debt machine.
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.920
You have all my information that you need, like whatever.
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:12.160
People really are not taking your money.
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:23.599
We go they go into the bank, uh, and uh they talk to the broker room in it or two, and then they come back, I'm like, okay, I'll need your credit card to do this payment.
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:24.640
Okay, fine.
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:29.920
It's still weird that they're not gonna process it through the debit machine that's right in front of me, but I give them my credit card.
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:39.839
They go into the back, they talk for a couple minutes, uh, and then they come back out and they sit at their desk and they're chatting about Gucci glasses or whatever.
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.079
Uh um, but I'm waiting for this broker.
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:53.119
A couple minutes later, the broker comes out and he's like, Oh, um, our system is uh being a bit laggy right now.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.359
Uh I wrote down your credit card information, and we will charge you and your insurance will be renewed.
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.359
Uh, but I couldn't do it today.
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:08.480
I'm like, oh twice in one day I had to give my credit card information out to pay for something instead of just being able to pay?
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.160
What's what's even going on?
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.559
And this was like Thursday the 12th.
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:18.480
You see, we switched to a cashless society after the credit card companies released COVID, right?
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.160
So they could get more microt debts and fees.
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:28.079
You have any idea how much banks and credit cards must have made with us phasing out cash and raw profit?
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.920
I I have uh a conspiracy theory that I don't I don't believe is true.
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.880
That birds aren't real.
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.240
Um that uh that Epstein Island, right?
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:47.119
I want it to be anything other than the truth, because the truth is so boring and gross.
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:53.759
So please, please give me a theory that's not oh, they're just a bunch of old pedophiles who are rich, because the richest people in the world are gross.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:59.839
See, this is already better than the reality.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:15.680
And uh Epstein had a a fail save where uh say engineered COVID, and if you didn't check in every 30 days, it would get released as blackmail for the people who might try and kill them.
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:26.960
So, like that's amus- I a quote I literally said the other day in class where we were talking about feminist works and things.
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:34.960
I literally am like, listen, if they were actual cannibals and were killing and eating these people, it would be less gross than what actually happened.
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.119
I want to put it to some context here.
00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.599
If they were actual vampires, it would be less gross.
00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:46.079
Like, it would be better ethically if it was an immortal cabal of vampires.
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.599
That would be less evil.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:57.200
Cause like killing people for their blood at least has motivation, other than I'm an old creep.
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:05.519
Like, there's an element at least of hunger to that, which I can rationalize a bit better than the reality of the situation.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.799
Anyways, I I don't believe that that conspiracy theory.
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.119
Uh, but I I just thought that was kind of amusing.
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:20.000
Um actual Satan being on that island would be less depressing than the truth.
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.359
Anyways, uh enough of all my my credit cards and conspiracy theories.
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:29.519
I'll do with you there, Richard.
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.799
Uh let's see.
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:40.240
I went to a retro game bar, played some rampart, I got accepted into my PhD HD program, which is pretty cool.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:46.640
Um I complained about Epstein Island in class a lot this week, which is fair and valid because they're monsters.
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:49.519
And I bid watched all of Netflix One Piece.
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:57.039
Contextually, how did Epstein Island come up in your writing classes?
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:58.319
Easily.
00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:06.960
We were talking about Feneminism in graphic novels, and then we were pivoted to AI usage in graphic novels.
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.039
AI usage pivoted to billionaires, billionaires pivoted to gross creeps.
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:18.480
Because everyone who owns these AI companies for the most part is a gross creep or will become a gross creep.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:25.839
And the quote was wouldn't it be nice if these tools weren't made by literally the worst person to have ever lived?
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.400
Are you quoting yourself?
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:32.240
Maybe.
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:39.599
I did that in the paper in the paper I was writing the other day because I cited another paper I wrote.
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:43.039
That's hilarious.
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:50.079
Like at one of these points I'm gonna do a lit analysis on the Waltz and Blades and talk about Mr.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.599
Kievis's language work.
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:53.119
It's gonna be great.
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:57.599
That's pretty funny.
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.599
But yeah, TLDR, pretty much the same update as last time.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:04.079
Now that I moved and settled, everything's stabilized.
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:08.640
The sun's shining metaphorically, the birds are singing metaphorically.
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:11.519
My future has some stability metaphorically.
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:12.960
Life is great.
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.160
None of these things literally true, but alas.
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:20.880
So shall we get into today's topic?
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.480
Yes.
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:27.359
I have one more well, I have one more rant to go on here, actually.
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.960
I'm gonna give you three minutes.
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:32.559
Three minutes?
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:32.960
Oh.
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.519
We're at the 25-minute mark, bra, and we haven't talked about a single nerdy thing.
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:38.880
No, okay.
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.480
This one's gonna be slightly nerdy.
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.640
Uh first first things first.
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:51.920
Uh, do you know if VGA has a video output style uh uh connectivity?
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.519
No, I can't think of the ports.
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.240
Port, I guess.
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:54.480
Yeah.
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:57.039
Do you know is VGA dead?
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.720
Like are are new computers not shipping with VGA ports?
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.960
I think so.
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:04.880
Okay.
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:16.799
Uh well, because like eons ago, uh I I lived I lived in a place called Sunderland, uh, and I I walked over to my local future shop.
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:18.799
Uh ironically, I think of the past.
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:20.079
Oh, that's beautiful.
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:22.000
I have not thought about that.
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:23.359
Oh, please continue.
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.559
This is nostalgic.
00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.920
This is warming me.
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:32.640
Anyway, I I walked down there uh and I bought an off-the-shelf desktop PC by Acer.
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:44.559
Uh Acer is known to be a relatively cheap brand, um, but it had uh VGA, DVI, and HDMI for the video output.
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.200
Yes.
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:56.559
Um and so then I it was onboard video, but I was able to actually just hook up two uh monitors to that, one using Ichimai, one using VTA.
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.160
Yes.
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.480
And then several years later, uh, I'm in the process of moving.
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:11.440
I had my desktop computer in an uh awkward place, and I smashed my shit on it and knocked it over, and the hard drive crapped out, and the computer wouldn't wouldn't boot.
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.480
Well, it did get booted, literally.
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:16.160
Right.
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:21.599
Uh but so then I uh bought a new PC.
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:30.960
Um but again, I'm just buying an off-the-shelf thing, and I actually bought a uh refurbished uh one of those like commercial Dell PCs that are like in the small form factor.
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:31.920
Yeah.
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:40.240
Uh and this one had HDMI and display port, but no VGA and no DVI.
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:50.319
Uh and uh yeah, so so then I wasn't able to hook up my second monitor anymore, so for several years I had no second monitor.
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.119
Uh and I've decided How can you live that way?
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.799
Well, my computer use has just dropped off significantly.
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:02.960
I have two going right now.
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.279
I'm contemplating setting up a third.
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:20.000
Well, I I felt bad because I specifically built this uh computer desk tower thing so I could suspend it uh vertically orient my monitors to the suspend them one above the other.
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:25.359
Um because I think that's I like it better than the horizontal.
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.799
You're a sociopath! Everything you've said has made me visibly angry.
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:38.640
Yeah, no, I it's if you want a smaller footprint in your space, you go vertical.
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:50.480
If you want to like be a sociopath that doesn't follow the aspect ratio of human vision, which is horizontal, because that's how we see, which is how we've designed all of our objects.
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:51.839
Like you don't understand.
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:59.680
Paper is designed and folded to produce books on the assumption in all cultures that we have a certain aspect ratio of vision.
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:00.960
What's wrong with you?
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.759
Ugh.
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:05.279
But you read from top to bottom.
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:11.039
Yeah, but it's still on uh three stacked horizontal lines lined up on lines of thirds.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.480
Have I tie you nothing?
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:28.000
Anyway, uh spoiler matter is that I bought a new new monitor, uh, and uh I had to make sure that it had display port, and then I had to buy the display port cable.
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:30.319
Um This feels like an adapter thing.
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:32.640
Like, I feel like that adapter must exist.
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.839
Display port to other uh output technologies?
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:39.039
Probably.
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:40.960
It feels like a thing.
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.480
I mean, I'm spoiled.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.359
Occasionally my brother was just like, hey, Merry Christmas.
00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.519
I didn't get anything last year, so here's a new PC, and I'm like, fuck yeah, and then I have a new PC.
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:57.119
Well, and ironically, I I uh actually the the new monitor I have to do.
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.799
I need to do a quick clarify.
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:06.079
I don't think my brothers ever went a year with nothing for Christmas, but it'll be like, Merry Christmas, here's a carton of egg dog, Merry Christmas, here's a new gaming PC.
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.599
Seemingly a random.
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.519
Wild swings.
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:13.599
Oh yeah, like it's never been nothing.
00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:14.240
I want to be clear.
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:24.240
This wasn't like I'm making up for a lack of Christmas, it's more some years we'll be like, hey, we bought each other both Monster Ranchers Hunter stories, and other years it'll be like here's a new Xbox because I said so.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:25.680
It's unpredictable.
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.880
It is great.
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.359
I think this year it was Bastard.
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:43.119
I'm gonna be trying to work on uh coding a video game going forward.
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:45.279
Oh, did I tell you about Lampgate?
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:47.119
Lampgate?
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.079
I don't think so.
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:53.279
So one of my good friends will send me home with random textings or random knickknacks for their house.
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:58.720
Things from like automatic water dishes to cat hammocks attached to windows to lamps.
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:00.640
Two years ago, they sent me home with these.
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:03.920
You said automatic water dish automatic water dishes?
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:04.240
Yeah.
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.319
And I was thinking of like dishes that water themselves, the botching?
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.240
It's like, oh no no, for cats.
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:11.519
Yeah, that's less fun.
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.880
I like where your brain was at.
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.799
So they sent me home with these LED lamps that are like Wi-Fi enabled.
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:21.119
You can set them to like rave mode and dim and brighten them from your phone, etc.
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:21.680
etc.
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.799
And I hadn't plugged them in at my old place.
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.319
So we moved to the new place.
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.759
Okay, and they're like, oh, you kept the lamps I gave you.
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:31.119
I'm like, absolutely.
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:35.200
And trying to find the cord for them, and then my brother's like, he's never plugged those in.
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.400
He might never have had the cords.
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.759
I'm like, why would you out me like this?
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:42.720
He's like, well, because you threw them under the bus with your friends for like seven years without me being able to defend myself, so screw you.
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:53.279
So my friend's been mocking me, being like, oh, I kept these maps, lamps, and never plugged them in for sentimental value for two years.
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.480
You had these lamps, and I'm like, how's the lamps?
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:01.359
You're like, they're cool, and you never thought they're cooler when plugged in, huh?
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.000
Right, right.
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.000
So every time I see this friend, they're like, it sure is good that you kept the cords.
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:12.960
Oh wait, you had to buy new ones because you hadn't plugged the lamps in in two years.
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.319
And it's just like that'd be ADHD for you in a nutshell.
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.160
Yeah, I'll plug in these lamps when I get a second.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.079
Year passes, move with them.
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.480
Never had used them at the previous place.
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:27.599
What kind of cord are they using?
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.799
Display board?
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:35.839
I had I basically had to like go on Amazon and type in the product number, be like adapter for this kind of thing, and then they gave me cords.
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:38.240
Yeah, okay.
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:47.680
So I never did find their original power cords, which means I guess I should have been a little less harsh on your insane vertical monitoring.
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:52.240
That's what's insane about it.
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:52.640
It's facial.
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.079
It's just gross.
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.880
It's like the equivalency of putting ketchup on ice cream.
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:04.640
Like, sure, it's technically a fruit and fruit topping goes on ice cream, but you're doing it wrong.
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:10.720
Uh, I wonder what really has more what do you think actually has more sugar content?
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:12.319
Cherry syrup or ketchup?
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.519
Like, what's actually closer to being a dessert chemically?
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:19.200
Hmm, that's a good question.
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:21.680
Uh what you know what else is a good question?
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:23.839
Uh what's new on Crunchyroll?
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:27.839
Yeah, so moving into the topic, I'm gonna start with something not on Crunchyroll.
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:34.880
So I binged the new season of live action One Piece yesterday.
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.200
I mean the day before.
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.960
I wasn't intending to watch all of it, but it was so good.
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:42.880
Yeah.
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.799
They fixed so much of One Piece.
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:48.000
For one thing, their 16 episodes cover 130.
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:58.880
Yeah, so and like the things they chose to keep make so first off, One Piece's big what would you say One Piece's biggest three problems are?
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:07.759
For if you want if I was trying to convince if you're to try and convince your girlfriend to watch animated One Piece, what would you say its biggest three problems are?
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:11.280
Uh well I mean pacing.
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.039
Pacing is terrible.
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:20.559
Um the uh clear shift in art style over time.
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:21.599
Huh.
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:32.559
Um and uh the repetitive nature of it because like it's just cookie cutter, each each arc is almost the same.
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:38.719
They they go to an island, they fight the big band, they go to the next island, and then they get sent back to the start of the grand line.
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.880
Like, how many times have they gone back to the start of the grand line?
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.199
Never.
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:42.480
That's literally never happened.
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:44.079
You hallucinated that.
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.599
Yeah, but they get like set back a bunch, don't they?
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:48.320
Nope.
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:49.920
Oh, really?
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:51.119
Correct.
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:56.559
So Well then I don't know what the three biggest problems with with with one piece are.
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:58.320
The way they designed women.
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:00.400
What's that?
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:10.400
Yeah, except for uh except for the at the start, Nami was a reasonably sized uh and aspect ratio woman.
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:11.119
Like you, you know.
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.519
So like the things that Netflix is fixed.
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:15.920
So first is the pacing.
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:18.639
Second is character building.
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:25.360
So a lot of the new scenes they added were characters that like never got screen time together actually like developing as characters and growing.
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:35.679
So it makes so they've used a lot of plot points to make it become and then storytelling instead of like I mean because of, not and then storytelling.
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.239
So they like folded in events to like build on themselves.
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:46.480
They shifted the point of view to follow them and then the Marines back and forth so you can kind of see like the stakes in the world building.
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:55.039
They've moved in things way earlier to like build stakes up, but also, so it was impossible to create one piece of foam fan service.
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:55.599
Right?
00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:59.280
There's no version of reality where they weren't putting Emily Rudd in a bikini.
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.400
So instead, they oiled up all the men as well.
00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:14.559
I say this as a bit, because like every male character at least one point in it is standing their shirtless, and there's ones where they're in Snow Kingdom, and Zoro's just dang their shirtless flexing, and the character's like, why are you doing that?
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.159
He's like, because I look good.
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:19.679
Okay.
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.480
And I'm like, that's somehow the correct solution to this problem, isn't it?
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.880
You just you do it to everybody, and you've solved it.
00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:40.320
So, like, the first season, they added in like the Marines early, and you like actually follow back and forth between the Straw Hats and Kobe and Garp, because they brought in Garp really early into the show.
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.559
And then the second season, they trimmed a lot of the bullshit.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.159
You gotta see Zoro actually kill a hundred people in one episode.
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:57.679
And like, they didn't Tarantino the blood, but they didn't Toey the blood either, so like you see him stab someone in the throat, they bleed, and they die like a person would, like, a reasonable amount.
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:03.599
And I'm like, man, a lot of people are dying in this Netflix version, but they're doing it subtly, which makes it better.
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.639
I'm like, there's a few times like, oh man, Luffy just straight up murders that dude.
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.960
Luffy gets the ship, it's like, well, that'll teach that dude.
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:10.400
He's dead, Luffy.
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:20.320
And it's just like they do a bunch of little tweaks, and I cannot believe like how much better of the show is than the actual original animated series.
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:25.840
Like, there's a bit where Considering how badly we uh they watched Cowboy Bebop.
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:32.159
It is baffling the difference in quality, because I'm like, no, this is like actually the best version of One Piece.
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:44.400
It's just like little things, like there's a bit where a character literary goes, like, oh, you thought we were skipping Logetown as they like go into that plot arc and compress like 12 episodes into one very solid episode.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:52.800
And they're just doing a good job of like, hey, now I'm rewriting with this with hindsight, and I'm doing an immensely better job of the show.
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:54.960
Yeah, okay.
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:58.159
But also some of the things they decide that were worth keeping.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:02.159
So my favorite scene in it is about midway through season two.
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:17.840
In the original, there's a scene where Sanji goes on the shell phone and like pretends to be one of the agents to confuse the villain of the plot art crocodile and then gets jumped by a combat otter who rides a uh vulture with machine guns.
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:19.119
Okay.
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:25.280
And I want to let you know that they didn't they need to cut, I don't know, 80% of the stuff out of the show.
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:35.840
So there's no words for how happy I was that the artist combat otter still fought Sanji while the phone was on hold and the machine gun vulture was there.
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:41.920
And that fight scene, like they frame it like they're just fighting in the background while someone's on the phone, like, waiting for the person to talk.
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.320
And I'm like, I'm so happy this made it in.
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:50.239
Because a group sat around a board deciding what to kind of like we gotta keep the otter in the sunglasses, though, right?
00:38:52.239 --> 00:39:00.400
And there's a bit that this otter was spying on them and drew portraits of them to show the boss to like break their anonymity, and the portraits it drew were manga accurate.
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:03.599
Yeah, okay.
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.920
Like, that's such a good bit, right?
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:08.159
Yeah.
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:19.599
So I'm like, this show is just a good time, and I highly recommend it, because like they even said in an interview, a lot of adaptations have the instinct to explain what's happening.
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.400
And this one just simply didn't bother.
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:24.480
And it was great.
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:34.239
Like, they didn't ex feel the need to explain the snail phones or like the s wor various world settings, it just got into it and let it be.
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:39.199
So, 10 out of 10, highly recommend Netflix One Piece.
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:49.920
Season 2 decide to go more wacky, but like they've done such a good job grounding it, like, all the characters are taking the world completely seriously, and it's just a beautiful thing.
00:39:50.239 --> 00:39:52.480
Like here's an example.
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:59.840
Princess Vivi in the anime shows up as an assassin and jumps them, and then proceeds to do nothing for a hundred episodes, right?
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:01.039
Right.
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:06.320
Instead, because she's combat trained, she jumps in and helps during the fights.
00:40:06.559 --> 00:40:10.880
So Luffy and Vivi fight robot Whopple Eats People Man.
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:12.960
And I'm like, yes, correct.
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:16.159
Let your characters do things and talk to each other.
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:20.000
Also, the series actually passes the Bechtel test now.
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:24.320
Yeah.
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:25.599
That took a while.
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:31.679
It's a low bar to move across, but I'm gonna bring this up as we go over or what's new of Crunchyroll is.
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:35.199
I'm absolutely gonna ask Breed Show, do you think it passed the Bechtel test?
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.800
So we're going to follow the order of what's trending in Canada.
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:53.039
I've already talked about One Piece, but I'm gonna follow up with the One Piece anime is on hiatus right now as they move into Giant Land, and their last couple plot arcs are two of their best One Piece plot arcs.
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:57.679
And Wano was their worst plot arc because it lasted forever, and then they trimmed it down.
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:03.119
Technically, One Piece has just started its second season because it took a season break for the first time ever.
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:05.840
That is pretty hilarious.
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:12.000
Also, the Wano plot arc is the plot arc with the longest fight in anime history.
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:18.239
I'm so mad because there's a moment where the fight should have ended because it was super hype and then went for another 50 episodes.
00:41:19.039 --> 00:41:27.440
Like, there's a bit where he like went in a training guard and learned this cool uppercut punch in the original season when theme song plays as he uppercuts the guy, and like, yeah, end it.
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:28.079
No.
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:29.920
No, no, no, no.
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:33.840
We're not just gonna end it on this hype moment.
00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.960
We have to like go through so much bullshit to get here.
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:42.960
Right, and then that they have to go through an entire season of of Gundam Seed to finish that fight.
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:47.280
So much ha not just let's go with this.
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:53.039
Kaido the Last Order and Psychopaths both fit into that fight in their entirety.
00:41:56.320 --> 00:41:59.760
All of Full Metal Alchemist fits in Wano twice over.
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.639
The original and Brotherhood fit into Wano.
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:06.239
That's ridiculous.
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:08.239
So those are my One Piece thoughts.
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:10.079
I assume you don't watch weekly one piece.
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:11.679
I do not.
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:13.199
It's really good right now.
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:15.920
People are like, how the hell is Toei doing this without dying?
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.639
And they're like, we need to take a break because we didn't do it without dying.
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:19.920
It killed us.
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:25.199
Uh, next on the trending list we have JJK.
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:28.079
Are you following JJK this season?
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:35.599
Uh I have not till I actually I've been watching more anime lately because I was like, you know what?
00:42:35.679 --> 00:42:37.840
I'm paying Prince Roll, I probably should watch stuff.
00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:40.239
And pre-run is is amazing.
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.480
But uh I've heard good things about JJK animated.
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:51.280
Uh you've told me that the it's a better way to enjoy the series than uh than reading it.
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:55.920
There's literally some chapters where he was like sick and just wrote them as squiggly lines.
00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:59.039
Yes.
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:05.599
So one of the things that was So JJK, the internet thinks is the best thing coming out this season.
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:08.000
They're objectively wrong.
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:13.360
But I'm not so objectively But I'm not so naive to not give it some credit.
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.079
So people like, oh, it's the best animated thing this season.
00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:16.800
It's not.
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:18.880
It's comfortably in fourth.
00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:20.320
Fourth is pretty good.
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:26.480
Like that this episode where Maki goes in and they do a bunch of kill bill mo of cinematography homages.
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:27.360
Mm-hmm.
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:28.559
And it was sick.
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:30.960
Like JJK's animation is sick.
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:38.000
If any of the like older show and jump got JJK's animation and cinematography budget, it would actually be absurd.
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:46.400
Like if Yu Yu Hakasho was done the way JJK was done, we'd be still talking about it to this day, instead of it being like, the fuck was Yu Yu Hakasho.
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:50.159
Which had the same basic plot.
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:52.000
Right.
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:56.320
But like so, like, yeah, JJK, I highly recommend it.
00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:58.800
It did pass the Beckdown test, which was a fun twist.
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.840
Not by much, but it did.
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:02.159
Fair.
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:09.360
And the JJK sequel manga just ended, and it angers me because people are saying it's a good ending, and I'm like, it won't be.
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:25.440
In the three months, once you're stopped being high on the cool animation and production values, you're gonna realize that a character coming back in the second last chapter of a sequel manga to magically fix everything, because you introduced aliens is the exact reason you guys all shit on Borito every week and shit on the ending of Naruto every week.
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:27.599
Do not pretend JJK did that well.
00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:32.320
Because you can't do aliens came in and solved the plot well in any show.
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:32.800
No.
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:34.480
That's not about aliens.
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:35.760
Maybe.
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:37.280
Maybe Star Trek.
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:38.559
But even then, no.
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:43.440
Because it's the idea it's such a news ex Machina, it physically makes me ill.
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:46.639
That makes sense.
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:53.280
So the sequel JJK manga angered me because they had Yuji roll up at the very end and then magically solve everything.
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:55.519
Like literally ever.
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:06.639
I didn't even really understand exactly like Also, I'm being vague about it because it is spoilers to a show people are currently watching, so I just shadowed the sequel and the ending of JJK.
00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:08.800
And people are in the middle of like season three.
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:09.760
Oops.
00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:12.239
Saui.
00:45:14.320 --> 00:45:16.800
It doesn't matter what the plot of JJK is, though.
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:23.679
Like I said, they did a kill like an hour-long kill bill montage with top-tier animation of Maki Murdering Dudes.
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:28.320
Live action One Piece did it better with Sorrow, but they did it pretty good in JJK.
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.280
Okay, so Netflix uh One Piece adaptation is gonna be here bar to clear.
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:35.840
Kinda.
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:37.840
It feels reasonable because it's not good.
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.199
I just really enjoyed it.
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:41.599
Like, it's still One Piece.
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:49.280
Like, if I had to put it on quality, it's like, I loved Netflix One Piece, it's right up there with Starge HG1 from the 2000s.
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.639
Like it's like, yeah, no.
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:59.920
I'm not saying it's high art, I'm saying I th I binged it, which I don't often do these days.
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.719
Because it was stupid and fun.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:04.880
And better than the original.
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:11.679
Alright, next on the list we have somehow Attack on Titan is trending, even though no new contents came out for it.
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:18.800
Yeah, a lot of what's trending on in Canada is for some reason not actually from this season.
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:23.599
So we'll give it like a quick touch over for the sake of like the structure of this list.
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:30.639
I'm gonna just say, like, the first few seasons of Attack on Titan on Netflix really brought like a second life to anime.
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.519
Like, Attack on Titan was the animation gold standard when it was coming out.
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:36.480
Mm-hmm.
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:41.280
And it did do his time travel story well, which I have to give it credit for.
00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:42.320
Right, right.
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:46.559
I didn't really care for it after this time skip that much because I was following people I didn't care about.
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:49.119
It landed the plane pretty well.
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:53.199
I'm not so arrogant to say Attack on Titan was pretty good.
00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:59.679
I don't love the weird Nazi at parallels it did, but that's for a paper later, not for me in this conversation.
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:01.199
Right, right, right.
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:05.760
Now, Sentence to Be a Hero, I have in like second place for weekly animation.
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:09.679
I think it's fight scenes and cinematography are actually cooler than JJK.
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.159
It definitely definitely is a super cool, cool show.
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:27.199
Um it keeps almost making me I've never seen something a series come so close to hitting red flags and then swerving to dodge them at the last minute in my life.
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:29.199
Oh yeah?
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:39.679
Well, long time viewers know I hate the concept of Ika size, I hate the concept of harems, I hate the weird underage, but my character's actually old trope and anime, it disgusts me.
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:43.039
And the show keeps being like, he might be from another world.
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:44.159
Huh, just kidding.
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:45.119
Oh, I'm not.
00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:53.440
This are this younger character is actually reflecting on the horrors of war as their ascension weapon, and he's mourning the loss of the previous one like a daughter.
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:57.280
Oh, that's not gonna be a Ramacom, because this guy's arm's getting shot off.
00:47:57.360 --> 00:47:58.960
I'm like, okay, okay, show.
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.199
You got me, you got me.
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:11.599
And they're like, here's my dateable adult protagonist who likes poetry, who got sentenced for speaking out against authority as a character slowly spends time with them and learns they're actually a good dude.
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:14.079
I'm like, this is very reasonable.
00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:14.960
Yes.
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:21.920
It's you keep getting so close to hitting a trope and then dodging it that I think you're fucking with me intentionally at this point.
00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:31.199
Also, his superpower is exploding knives, and he's paired with sword summoner, and that's just fun cinematography.
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:36.400
Well, it's other superpower is that no jump good legs.
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:41.760
I mean, to be fair, I would also let's be honest, Sentence to Be a Hero is the kind of thing I would write.
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:44.559
You've read my work.
00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:53.039
Well, I literally installed jump good legs, magical jump good legs with glyphs on the legs of one of my characters like five years ago.
00:48:53.199 --> 00:49:01.920
Like there's some parallels to my own novel, to Sentence to Be a Hero that I see, and I'm like, this is a weird mirror to be looking at.
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:04.639
This is absolutely the kind of thing I would come up with.
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:08.559
So this clearly is targeted for me.
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:13.360
Yeah, I would say I enjoy the Sentence to Be a Hero.
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:32.639
Uh the only thing that I that bugs me slightly is uh and I don't know what they what they could have named it, uh, but Sentence to Be a Hero, the reason I actually started watching it was because oh, that's a peculiar, well, sentence.
00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:35.840
Like how do you punish people by making them heroes?
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:39.440
And it's like, oh yeah, they go out and they do heroic work, but everybody hates them.
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:41.360
And they have bombs on their neck.
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:51.199
Yeah, no, it would be more like if it was like the cats call it Suicide Squad, but I mean that's so here's my thoughts on the nomenclature.
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:59.840
And we talked a bit about this when we were talking about uh Pretty Please May I Face Punch Princess, which I would have called it a better name.
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:10.960
Is a lot of these titles are designed by the publishing side, not the writing side, because this dud was a uh light novel, to hit certain search criteria.
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:15.039
Because you look at the description in the cover and you think it's an Ikasai.
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:17.119
Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:50:17.360 --> 00:50:20.239
Sentence to be a Hero is the most Ikasai ass name imaginable.
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:25.440
So you just finished watching solo leveling, and you're like, solo leveling, I want to watch something like this, Sentence to Be a Hero.
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:28.320
And it tricks you into being classic 90s fantasy.
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:31.519
Fair enough.
00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:38.320
But also looking at the fact that it's being tricked, is all that's Well, you're not that's because you're looking at it too early, my friend.
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:43.840
So, you know how I gave you a rant on symbolism, symbolic shifting, and semiotics the last month?
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:48.320
I just straight up gave you this lecture because I was bored in the time to kill during a walk.
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:54.880
Is that we have the term hero in our brain and we specifically think my hero academia hero, right?
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:59.760
And then sentence to be shifts our meaning to oh, we're making someone be this kind of hero.
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:06.800
I guarantee you one of the symbolic meanings over the course of the story is them reclaiming it to be the traditional meaning.
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:13.199
So part of the point of the show is for them to be, ugh, we hate heroes, so oh, we love heroes.
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:18.400
So the idea is that the show's over its arc is reclaiming the original meaning of that term.
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:25.039
Well, and you know, I can see the symbolism where it's like, oh, people are like, don't be a hero.
00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:35.599
And to the double entendre there, uh, of don't sacrifice yourself meaninglessly, and also don't be a dangerous criminal that's forced into eternal military servitude.
00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:36.880
Which is sick, by the way.
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:38.639
That's sick writing choice.
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:53.760
Like, I just I don't I don't know why it bugs me, but I honest I'm wondering if there's gonna be a plot point that the reason you said they send them to be immortal is someone has a spell to like make dead people talk, and it's the way a way to keep them from actually being interrogated.
00:51:55.039 --> 00:52:01.599
Like, that's just I I feel like there's gonna be more to this ridiculous punishment, but I love this ridiculous punishment.
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:04.719
It's like, hey, you committed a high crime.
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:07.199
Was my crime lying?
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:09.199
No, your crime is you guessed right.
00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:13.920
So you can't talk or your head explodes, and we're gonna make you fight for all eternity.
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:16.639
Like, that's such a good pun.
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:31.119
I would love to sentence the Donald to have to go as a foot soldier in in his war right now and save people and pull people out of collapsed hospitals, and if he doesn't, his head explodes, and then he has to do it again tomorrow.
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:34.239
Like, that is the correct punishment for some people.
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:42.480
Like, that'd be such a good thing to do to Elon is yeah, you're now forced to be a member of Doctors Without Borders indefinitely.
00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:43.599
Enjoy.
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:49.039
I also like the magic system actually being a magic system.
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:54.639
Glyphs collect sunlight, and then you combine it with the internal energy inside your body to make things happen.
00:52:54.880 --> 00:52:57.280
You put glyphs on things or tattoo them on yourself.
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.519
Tattooing too many things on yourself is crazy.
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:02.719
There's just straight up dragons and they're adorable, and you feed them.
00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:06.239
Like, I like internal logic being good.
00:53:06.480 --> 00:53:11.599
Oh, we just found these goddess things, so we use them, but they seem to like almost have been mass-produced.
00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:12.880
There's a lot going on.
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:13.920
I'm enjoying it.
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.480
The show can, however, disclaimer.
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:26.239
It is entirely possible for the show to implode at any moment, because it keeps swerving past red flames like a squalum skier, and if it curves directly into one, it's over.
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:28.880
It's over.
00:53:29.280 --> 00:53:48.719
But my favorite moment in anime this year, best year of anime, I think, I'm calling it early because like we're in March and we have things that are hitting my like lifetime top ten, is when the dude says you can't make us fight, and then he shoots off the other guy's arm and says, Why did you shoot the other guy when I protest?
00:53:48.880 --> 00:53:51.119
He goes, Well, because you seem more useful.
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:55.280
That was so beautifully unhinged.
00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.079
You shot off why did you shoot him?
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:00.239
To teach you a lesson now, get to work.
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:01.039
What?
00:54:04.719 --> 00:54:07.599
Uh, descendants to be in here is pretty top tier.
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:10.639
Oh, like King Norgle is amazing.
00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:11.760
Hmm.
00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:12.480
Alright.
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:18.159
So I'm gonna just skip over Black Clover and Jack of All Trades Party of None.
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:21.679
I'm assuming you haven't watched Jack of All Trades Party of None.
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:23.119
I have not.
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:26.960
So then we got Slime Stranding for some reason.
00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:28.400
Slime Ikisai's weird one.
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:31.760
It started as a dumb power fantasy and turned to a weird city builder.
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:37.599
Well, you've said that uh a lot of these Ikisai's kind of go that route for some reason.
00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:39.760
Because it's not done with the power fancy.
00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:45.280
Yeah, because as we learned from One Punch Man, you can only do the bit for twelve episodes.
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:47.119
And then the bits uh you're done.
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:48.639
You're used up your bit.
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.480
And then you actually have to write a story.
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:57.760
Like, and you can only do the overpowered protagonist for about 12 episodes.
00:54:57.920 --> 00:55:01.280
Like, let's pivot, even though it's not on our list, but we're gonna talk about it.
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:07.760
Is the Heavenly King anime, slash, it's from China, so not anime, whatever they call it.
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:12.719
Is awesome, but absolutely kind of peaked out at the end of season two.
00:55:14.880 --> 00:55:20.239
The Daily Lake of the Immortal King uh is is the full title for anyone listening.
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:25.679
Um and I mean I would kind of agree with you.
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:32.559
I I I do think uh seasons one through three are kind of a trilogy that actually have a nice arc if you watch them.
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:34.719
Yeah, beginning, middle, end, kinda sorta.
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:41.920
Well I still love the bit in season two where the intro directly goes into the ending of the last episode.
00:55:42.079 --> 00:55:43.599
Like that was great.
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:44.880
Got me good.
00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:51.840
Um But season four is it felt like an addendum that didn't really need to exist.
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:56.719
And season five feels like they upped the production value.
00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:00.239
I haven't watched it all yet, but it feels like they upped the production value.
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:08.800
Um uh, but it still doesn't it doesn't feel like it's continuing the story or really needed to exist.
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:10.400
Ah, fair enough.
00:56:10.559 --> 00:56:14.960
Because it's like there's bits in the first and second and third season, they're some of my favorite bits.
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:18.800
Like when the froggy literally goes, why is there theme music playing?
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:21.280
and then gets exploded is amazing.
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:26.880
Shooting the arrow around the world to hit your target is still one of my favorite clips.
00:56:27.119 --> 00:56:28.239
Just full stop.
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:30.320
That's just such a good bit.
00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:35.280
So, like, yeah, like top tier entertainment.
00:56:35.440 --> 00:56:38.880
For sure, check out the first three seasons, then drop it if you need to.
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:40.960
Uh I don't know.
00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:44.559
They mean like you're gonna be singing what makes it worse.
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:48.719
I'm literally letting you go through it to then tell me if I should throw it on in the background later.
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:51.360
Like, I'm just using you for this purpose at this point.
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:52.639
Well, okay.
00:56:52.800 --> 00:56:56.960
The th the this season does have an absolutely fantastic bit.
00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:07.679
Um where uh his unborn sister, they're like uh doing tests or whatever, um, and they're listening to the to the heartbeat.
00:57:08.559 --> 00:57:17.119
And it just like starts turning out this like this crazy music and everyone starts dancing, and they're like, Oh yeah, I've never heard a beat this sick.
00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:19.440
Okay.
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:24.480
That's a good that is I do love an overpowered character bit I haven't seen before.
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:25.760
That's that's fresh.
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:28.079
Yo.
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:30.000
That's pretty funny.
00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:32.719
Alright, next on our list we have free rin.
00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:34.000
Freerin's just art.
00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:38.559
Like, I've heard the argument that the first season takes like six episodes to get started.
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:51.119
And like, uh I feel like I, if I was doing free run, I would have opened with the battle against the demon king with the budget of some of the later fights they have in free run to just kind of like let people know that's coming.
00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:59.840
That's the only thing I would have changed in free run, is I would have added an extra opening five minutes of the party of heroes actually defeating the demon king and showed pieces of it.
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:03.440
Not the full fight, but like just a chunk of it, and then have them returning home.
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:13.840
Just as a quick aside here, actually, uh the first four or five minutes of the first episode of Immortal King season five.
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:14.320
Yeah.
00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:21.920
Uh is a a big battle that is assumably going to happen later in the season.
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:34.239
Um, and the reason the reason I say they have their production value, uh, and I suspect they put this battle at the start uh to pique interest and to show off their animation quality.
00:58:34.639 --> 00:58:52.000
Um but so far I like I'll come back around because it was kind of uh like you say, open with the fake battle to be like, oh, this is this is coming, and then you can show off your animation quality and and uh get people interested.
00:58:52.880 --> 00:59:03.440
I don't really particularly like like that technique as it relates to the Immortal King, but I could definitely see how that would have uh improved the slow start to Freerin.
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:04.880
Because yeah, free is slow start.
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:09.440
Yeah, free run doesn't really feel like it picks up until we get like the first demon arc.
00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:13.679
And then I'm like, okay, now I'm in it to win it.
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:19.519
Like once we get to Aura Kill Yourself, then we're then free run is cooking, and I'm like, yeah, I'm here for the ride.
00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:28.079
But for the record, I love the slow and steady kind of like adventure of the week building up towards the larger like I like the structure of free run fundamentally.
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:34.000
I just have to it's just a hard sell to be like, guys, it's pretty good for the first five episodes.
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:43.679
And then it starts to get really good because it set the groundwork is a hard argument to make, especially the 20 somethings with cell phones in their pocket and ADHD.
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:46.800
Yeah.
00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:53.119
It it has it it's done well, but it has the pacing of a book.
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:54.000
Yeah.
00:59:54.320 --> 01:00:05.519
It has the pacing of Lord of the Rings, let's let's be honest, like Yeah, and I mean, like, it's really hard to translate that pacing to uh animation or film in general.
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:11.440
Uh, case in point, uh the uh Fantastic Beasts and where to find them.
01:00:11.760 --> 01:00:13.599
I really thought you were about to say Lord of the Rings.
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.000
I'm like, you're not coming at Lord of the Rings here, bruh.
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:17.440
No, no, no, no.
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:35.679
Um So it's like the the last one, which is probably the last one because it did so poorly, uh, where uh they just like a bunch of characters show up on the train and then they go through all their backstories and and then finally actually get on with the movie.
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:42.880
Uh, but the movie is just them being as confusing as as humanly possible, uh, and the movie just comes out as this jumbled mess.
01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:52.400
JJ Rowling, or JK Rowling, I mean, not JJ, JK Rowling, uh, is an author of books.
01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:54.159
She is not a screenwriter.
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:54.880
To be fair.
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:57.199
Her skill set just didn't translate well.
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:03.440
And I mean, like Death of the Author and all that, but also, fuck that bitch and her weird transphobic political stances.
01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:10.159
Like with the funding and money she made on Harry Potter, she could have just set up women's shelters without attacking the trans community.
01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:13.360
Like, she could have just not been a hateful cow.
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:14.960
She was allowed to do that.
01:01:17.039 --> 01:01:18.800
Uh, that is true.
01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:24.320
Reminder, this is a parody podcast, and nothing we should say ever say should be taken seriously or legally.
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:26.960
Don't sue me, JK Rowling.
01:01:27.840 --> 01:01:29.840
But maybe don't be a cow.
01:01:32.079 --> 01:01:32.400
Hey.
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:35.119
Anyway, what's next on our list?
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:37.360
Next is uh leveling.
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:40.239
Uh I think soul leveling peaked.
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:42.719
I I agree.
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:50.400
Um the I I really, really like the character's motivation.
01:01:50.480 --> 01:02:05.119
Like the very first episode, that choice uh between going further into the dangerous dungeon with the extra doors that they that they don't know what's beyond, uh, and being able to actually um afford his mother's medical care.
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:14.719
Like that uh moral choice, which he ended up getting a whole bunch of people killed because he wants to be able to save his mom.
01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:25.440
Um and then that motivation carries through so much of the of the show, but he achieves his objective, the show's done.
01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:28.960
I don't think it's worth watching any of the subsequent seasons.
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:33.840
So here's my thoughts on solo leveling, which I'm notoriously a solo leveling hater.
01:02:34.239 --> 01:02:38.159
I loved the video game Claire Obscure Expedition 33.
01:02:39.360 --> 01:02:42.719
I did not like the awards it won at the game awards.
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:47.920
Because, like, they won best indie game and they had Daredevil voicing one of their protagonists.
01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:56.559
It won like all of these categories, but like it won best RPG, for example, but wasn't actually the best role-playing game.
01:02:56.719 --> 01:03:05.199
The best role-playing game was Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, where you're like a peasant and actually have to like bake bread to become a knight, like which was a much more immersive sim.
01:03:05.840 --> 01:03:07.519
Like you play a role better.
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:15.599
My problem with solo leveling is that it ha giving it best fight scenes is legit.
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:19.039
Giving it best soundtrack, no, free runs was better.
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:21.760
Giving it best animation, probably.
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:23.599
Giving it best story, no.
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:26.719
Giving it best protagonist, absolutely not.
01:03:26.880 --> 01:03:29.679
Giving it best antagonist, there wasn't one.
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:40.480
So it's like Soul Leveling is an action movie, and people are acting like it's a drama when they describe it.
01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:41.119
Right?
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:46.400
Like, it's like going in and being like, why did John Wick not win best movie of the year at the Oscars?
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:50.480
I'm like, because it wasn't in the it wasn't best overall movie.
01:03:50.880 --> 01:03:53.119
Best action movie for sure.
01:03:54.800 --> 01:03:55.119
Yeah.
01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:59.760
But like, that's my thoughts of solo leveling, is like, it's a stupid cool show.
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:01.280
That's stupid and cool.
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:04.800
It's the best Ikasai by a wide margin.
01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:10.000
Other than other than maybe Digimon Adventure or Inuasha.
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:23.199
Like, it is a actually my favorite Ikasai is Vision of Escaplone, but uh solo leveling was objectively better than Vision of Escap- of the three I mentioned, solo leveling was objectively better as a show to sit down and watch.
01:04:23.679 --> 01:04:32.800
For now, I do think every single additional season past this point is gonna be diminishing returns, and much like Boruto will eventually drop the show to being mid.
01:04:36.079 --> 01:04:44.800
Because the power scaling gets absurd, and he loses personality as he goes, and there was never really any stakes other than the personal ones.
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:51.119
See, and that's that's what I really liked about it was that the stakes were so personal.
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:56.159
Uh, but again, he achieves his objective by the end of what's animated.
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:05.840
And like, to talk about Face Puncher Princess a bit, it had a great premise and a great character, but like forgot to have danger in stakes.
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:12.480
Because like Soul Level is also at the point of like there's no reason he should lose a fight to anyone ever for any reason at this point.
01:05:13.840 --> 01:05:16.960
He's already the most powerful being in existence, basically.
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:17.519
Yeah.
01:05:17.679 --> 01:05:25.280
And it's like, once you have like, oh, I gave my character a power-up who could already stop time and punch people to now stop time and punch people better.
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:27.840
You lose any tension.
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:32.800
So, like, it doesn't really matter how cool you rip off the Chimera Ant fight.
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:37.840
It's not gonna Also, like, I'm gonna throw shade at soul leveling.
01:05:38.079 --> 01:05:40.239
Not a nothing in there is original.
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:45.599
It's just soul it's just like it's just Hunter Hunter meets Sword Art online, like.
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:51.519
But like with its bullshit menu system, blah blah blah blah blah.
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:52.639
But like, yeah.
01:05:52.960 --> 01:05:54.639
That's it, I'm done dunking a soul level.
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:56.000
It's pretty good.
01:05:58.239 --> 01:06:00.800
For for all that dunking, it's It's pretty good.
01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:02.159
It is pretty good.
01:06:02.239 --> 01:06:03.599
Like, that's the honest review.
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:04.320
It's pretty good.
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:09.920
If you want to watch a B tier Marvel movie with a plus tier animation, watch solo leveling.
01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:16.800
But all that, like, all that's missing is him fighting a color swap version of himself and losing his powers in the sequel.
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:21.519
Well, unfortunately, that doesn't happen, but.
01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:24.480
Alright, so next on the list is Fire Force.
01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:26.239
Uh, Fire Force.
01:06:26.400 --> 01:06:26.960
Tis tiss.
01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:32.480
So it's part of the Soul Eater universe?
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:35.920
It's technically a spoiler that everyone's already spoiled.
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:39.360
So it's like a pre-well tissuable soul eater?
01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:40.000
Yeah.
01:06:40.960 --> 01:06:46.719
So Fire Force is in its final season, which means it'll end with starting up Soul Eater.
01:06:47.440 --> 01:06:47.760
Okay.
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:53.440
So they've green lit that they're doing, and now they're doing like a manga accurate Soul Eater after Fire Force ends.
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:59.840
Because Soul Eater pulled a full Metal Alchemist original run and just made up the second half because the manga wasn't done yet.
01:07:00.159 --> 01:07:01.280
Yeah, okay.
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:07.599
So this author has a weird thing that makes my eye twitch that he does.
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:08.320
Okay.
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:11.119
Because the core premise of his work is usually pretty good.
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:19.119
His art style is cool, his concepts are good, but he feels insistent on always having a booby McBoob fanservice character.
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:26.000
So fanserv- they're literally a character in this whose power is they strip, like, unwillingly.
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:30.000
And it's just like, dude, grow up.
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:33.440
Does Firefirst pass the Bectel fest?
01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:34.079
No.
01:07:36.880 --> 01:07:37.920
Unsurprising.
01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:42.159
What's really bizarre-ish though is Soul Eater does.
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:43.360
Huh.
01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:51.039
It's because Soul Eater had a female protagonist with their talking scythe sidekick, and there are a few other female characters.
01:07:51.280 --> 01:08:00.320
Like every character they did a gender pairing for every one of their squads, so every male character is either male character of a female weapon or female character of a male weapon for most of them.
01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:02.719
Which resulted in a pretty nuanced take.
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:05.440
But then they just have Booby McBoob witches as characters.
01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:11.679
I'm like, Can I you give me the IP and I'll make a six Soul Eater game and I'll just edit the sprites.
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:18.640
A little I want the team that did live action One Piece to do live action Soul Eater, and it will be exquisite.
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:22.319
That's I think what I actually want.
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:37.359
The little revisions and by having knowledge, past tense, retcons, adjusting characters' physiques to be human, spreading out the fan service evenly, so you're not removing it, you're just balancing it and being less aggressively sexist.
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:40.399
A few more characters talking to each other to pass the Bechtel text.
01:08:40.560 --> 01:08:42.159
Boom, clean, done.
01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:42.800
Oh.
01:08:43.680 --> 01:08:44.319
Yeah.
01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:45.680
That that's it.
01:08:45.920 --> 01:08:51.920
Fire Force and Soul Eater will be great when adapted live action by Netflix by the same team that did One Piece.
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:52.800
That is my take.
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:55.680
It is an insane crack take, and I stand by it.
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:03.279
Soul Eater is actually doable too, because like you just need enough practical effects in CGI to have a dude turn into a scythe.
01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:06.640
Because you could just do choreography of someone fighting monsters with a scythe.
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:09.359
Like the superpowers of Soul Eater were pretty low tier.
01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:10.159
Right.
01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:13.680
Also, if they can adapt One Piece, they can literally adapt anything.
01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:18.159
You did say they have an otter riding a uh machine gun vultures.
01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:19.439
That's so good!
01:09:19.600 --> 01:09:20.720
I'm so happy.
01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:25.520
They kept a scene where Zoro's like, uh, you're where they're being petrified in wax, and they're like, what are you doing?
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:28.880
Like, oh, I need to strike a cool pose because I'm gonna die, it's gonna leave an awesome statue.
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:32.159
Like, they made Zorro such a himbo, it's beautiful.
01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:43.760
There's a bit where he like makes himself a spear by duct like tying a shovel to a stick, and then goes, What's the plan?
01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:46.720
I'm like, oh, I'm gonna hit the punchy bag thing in the roof of his mouth.
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:51.039
And Nama goes, the Uvila, and he's like, oh, it's a female whale.
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:57.680
Complete straight-faced kills me every time.
01:09:57.920 --> 01:09:58.960
I'm just like, oh.
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:03.680
And there's a bit where he's like, I don't get lost, I'm great at direction, and just walks in the wrong way.
01:10:04.079 --> 01:10:14.159
It's like because the characters don't have the anime over-exaggerated reactions, it makes the humor funnier, because one piece bits would always have someone make a dumb face and like over-exaggerate it.
01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:18.319
Now if they're doing it straight-faced, which is so much funnier.
01:10:19.279 --> 01:10:24.720
Like there's a bit where someone's fighting and it's like, please take this fight seriously, I'm trying to kill you.
01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:28.880
That's great.
01:10:29.680 --> 01:10:32.640
Uh but yes, Fire Force, pretty good.
01:10:32.960 --> 01:10:38.239
It's just if it didn't have fan service, it'd actually be probably go a tier of really good.
01:10:38.399 --> 01:10:48.239
They have a really trippy episode where we learn that Fire Force is a sequel to our actual reality and they go photorealistic for an episode to look at the past world before the apocalypse turned them into a 2D animation world.
01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:49.359
Huh.
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:50.479
Right?
01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:52.159
Like, that's trippy.
01:10:52.479 --> 01:10:54.720
It was like the standby me music video.
01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:56.800
Huh.
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:00.159
Alright, have you been watching Hell's Paradise?
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:01.680
I have not.
01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:03.600
It's pretty good.
01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:05.359
I've been saying pretty good a lot.
01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:10.159
So Hell's Paradise, I'd probably put in like seventh of things I've been watching recently.
01:11:10.960 --> 01:11:11.279
Okay.
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:12.960
The animation's pretty.
01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:26.159
The premise of, oh, we're fighting horrifying plant monsters on Death Island to find the makeup in Elixir, as we follow actual ninja Gabimaru, and Samurai Chick as they learn the overcomplicated Nen power system.
01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:32.720
Season two got bad a bit because they took the time to explain their overcomplicated ass power system for like days.
01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:35.279
It's overcomplicated.
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:39.439
TLDR ninjas and samurais fight plants monsters with a pretty good budget.
01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:40.960
Yeah, okay.
01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:44.000
I don't know how Fairy Tale is trending in Canada.
01:11:45.439 --> 01:11:47.279
I simply don't know how.
01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:50.960
I have no need to give more thoughts on Fairy Tale.
01:11:51.039 --> 01:11:53.039
I've given all my thoughts on Fairy Tale.
01:11:54.000 --> 01:11:55.279
Alright, that's fair.
01:11:55.840 --> 01:11:57.840
Like, I did full episodes on it.
01:11:58.159 --> 01:12:13.279
It's like, yeah, Fairy Tale fan services everybody passes the Bechtel test, shockingly, is terrible to men and women, had a mediocre season finale, then has a sequel going that's just more fairy tale, that's pretty good.
01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:19.600
Like, Fairy Tale, if I was rating it objectively as a fair human being, I'd give it like a B.
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:27.119
But it's also one of the most likely things I've talked about that I'm gonna just sit through and rewatch at some point for the fun of it while playing a Game Boy or something.
01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:28.319
Right.
01:12:28.800 --> 01:12:31.600
Have you been following apothecary diaries?
01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:33.920
I have not.
01:12:34.159 --> 01:12:38.079
Uh my brother has, and he says that it's quite good and that I should watch it.
01:12:38.399 --> 01:12:40.800
I've also been hearing that through the V Grapevine.
01:12:43.279 --> 01:12:48.000
But yeah, no, I I have lots of things on my watch list.
01:12:48.079 --> 01:12:51.039
Uh a lot of them are not actually even that new.
01:12:51.279 --> 01:13:02.880
Um I uh I don't part of the reason I don't watch a lot of anime is because uh if it's something I'm genuinely interested in, I want to give it my full attention.
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:08.319
So it's not something I can just put on in the background, especially uh if it's uh subbed.
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:16.399
Yeah, like that's why I'll put on like dubbed fairy tale in the background, because it doesn't take my full attention, where going through like free rin again does.
01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:22.159
So anything in the current season we ha that you're watching we haven't touched on yet to jump ahead of it.
01:13:23.359 --> 01:13:26.479
Um well it's not trending in Canada, apparently.
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:33.199
Um but uh there was a um uh anime cable 2025.
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:36.399
I guess I don't know if that's current season or not, but it was called close enough.
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:40.159
Scooped up by uh S-blast party.
01:13:40.800 --> 01:13:46.560
Oh, you better work quick here because I'm already off the tr I'm already off this bandwagon.
01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:50.560
It was just kind of dumb.
01:13:50.640 --> 01:13:51.920
I I I enjoyed it.
01:13:52.079 --> 01:13:58.640
Uh but um it's it's about a um extremely talented kid.
01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:03.039
Uh his parents die in a war and he gets raised by the mage Merlin.
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:09.680
Um But Merlin is like, okay, this kid's too powerful, so I'm only going to teach them support magic.
01:14:10.960 --> 01:14:19.119
Uh, and then I'm basically gonna give them a mad inferiority complex or they think that they're worse than everybody around them, even though they're clearly leagues better.
01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:21.680
Did Chat GPT write this?
01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:24.319
Did ChatGPT write this?
01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:27.439
Because that's the most cliche I could say plot imaginable.
01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.000
That's not an ecosai.
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:31.119
Wait, what?
01:14:32.079 --> 01:14:33.600
It's it's not an eco-side.
01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:35.199
That can't be Huh.
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:38.319
Alright, uh you got me back on board slightly.
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:42.720
If Truckkun's not involved, the odds of me enjoying it increase a little.
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:45.119
Uh look, I don't know.
01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:50.319
I mean, I don't know if I would say it was actually really that good.
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.600
Uh but it was it was it was fun.
01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:57.920
It was and it was relatively interesting to me at least.
01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:06.640
I mean you're right, it does sound kind of kind of bland, but Yeah, but I gave that same argument for sentence to be a hero where I'm like, it it tricks you, because algorithms.
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:14.079
Like a sentence to be a hero went to an adventurer's guild and it was just a thug base.
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:31.439
But I mean, so so basically, uh the S-Class party, uh, their support um character uh decides to retire because their sister is sick and they want to spend time with their sister before the sister dies or whatever.
01:15:31.680 --> 01:15:39.680
Um and so then they're about to go on this big mission, but the support character was just too distracted because of the sick sister.
01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:56.000
Uh so then she retires suddenly, and uh they're like, oh no, we need a powerful support person, and uh Merlin's apprentice uh just happens to be in town and and he's unranked, so nobody wants to hire him because he's just a support character.
01:15:56.159 --> 01:16:02.880
And they're like, Well, you know, we need a support character to come work for us, and then it turns out that he's the best support character possible.
01:16:03.439 --> 01:16:04.880
This is why it's bugging me.
01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:08.880
There's that new manga coming out that's nearly one for one that premise.
01:16:09.600 --> 01:16:09.920
Oh.
01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:16.800
There's like a mage guy who, like, yeah, I use wave and support magic, but my magic stats really low because I manipulate other people's magic.
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:18.800
Ace was like a medicine ball at people.
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:22.319
Oh yeah, the Kina To's magic or whatever.
01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:24.880
Yeah, that's why my brain's like, this sounds really familiar.
01:16:25.119 --> 01:16:25.359
Okay.
01:16:25.680 --> 01:16:29.680
I'm not saying it is really similar, but that's what it popped to mind.
01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:35.920
Uh I mean it the the setup is is different.
01:16:36.079 --> 01:16:40.319
Uh, but it it does have similar vibes to that new manga for sure.
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.720
And yeah, the next one that like I'm watching recently we haven't touched on yet.
01:16:44.960 --> 01:17:00.640
So have you if you have watched Fate Zero, Fate's Day Night, Fate Stay Night Unlimited Bur Blade Works, the three Fate Stay Night spin-off movies, Fate Acrophobia, then Fate Strains Fake is one of the best shows ever made.
01:17:04.399 --> 01:17:07.840
If you have watched, yet to be fair, all of it fits in Wano.
01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:13.119
Okay.
01:17:13.520 --> 01:17:16.800
Because they're not long animes, they're like 24 episodes and three.
01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:18.239
Yeah, I think all of it does.
01:17:18.560 --> 01:17:19.920
Like, I don't even think I'm talking about my ass.
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:23.840
I'm pretty sure it all does actually fit in Wano comfortably with some space to spare.
01:17:25.439 --> 01:17:26.079
But like.
01:17:27.039 --> 01:17:31.680
So, you would think Free Rin would have the best animation or Sentenced to be a Hero.
01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:36.399
Fate Strain Fate looks making them look like they're being made by amateurs.
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:38.000
Okay.
01:17:38.720 --> 01:17:48.000
Fate Strain Fate's production values puts everything this season, debatably the best season of anime in human history, to shame.
01:17:49.439 --> 01:17:50.640
To shame.
01:17:51.199 --> 01:18:03.039
Every scene, even the dialogue and exposition is super cool, super well framed, good mix of comedy, action, drama, tragedy, like it is beautiful.
01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:07.840
And it is a direct canonical sequel to everything I just listed.
01:18:08.399 --> 01:18:13.039
However, the entry curve of watching these five animes, I understand.
01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:15.680
I don't know how well this would work.
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:19.119
However, there's a scene early on.
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:26.319
So, there's a mage explaining the concept of this holy grail war where they had to start a fake holy grail roll to trigger a real holy grail war.
01:18:26.800 --> 01:18:33.520
And the wizard's explaining this to his apprentice, and the apprentice goes, Oh, by the way, this is America.
01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:35.039
The government's seizing this war.
01:18:35.199 --> 01:18:35.600
They're like, What?
01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:42.640
And then raises his hand, a bunch of marines in the bushes machine gun this mage to death as he puts out a cigarette on his head.
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:45.520
Okay.
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:50.880
So here's just some out-of-context scenes in Fate Strange Fake and why everyone should watch it.
01:18:51.279 --> 01:18:57.760
A priest with an eye patch punches a vampire with an extendable rocket fist.
01:18:59.119 --> 01:18:59.760
Huh.
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:00.479
Okay.
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:05.439
A character accidentally summons Jack the Ripper by using a novelty action figure.
01:19:05.680 --> 01:19:15.439
And then has Jack the Ripper shapeshift into a police guard to escort him into a s a station to bust out uh Richard the Lionheart.
01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:17.119
Okay.
01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:25.520
A wolf manages to summon a demigod who proceeds to fight another demigod in one of the most cinematic battles of all time.
01:19:27.920 --> 01:19:31.520
And Hercules is mid-tier right now, doing his best.
01:19:34.239 --> 01:19:34.399
Okay.
01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:36.479
So this show is just beautiful.
01:19:36.560 --> 01:19:38.319
Like, there's a moment where a character.
01:19:38.720 --> 01:19:48.159
So a character who is executed for witchcraft summons themselves because they survived witchcraft and made themselves a new body, so they summon the fast horse of themselves to team up just to cause chaos.
01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:50.000
Huh.
01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:51.279
It's so good, man.
01:19:53.119 --> 01:19:54.000
Just watch it.
01:19:54.079 --> 01:20:03.279
Even if you don't know what's happening, even if you don't know what's happening, you have to appreciate a bunch of police officers with magical weapons fighting Cerberus in the streets.
01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:04.319
Right?
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:04.640
Like.
01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:09.840
Wasn't Hercules like S t here in uh phase zero?
01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:12.960
Yeah, but Fate Strange Fake doesn't give a fuck.
01:20:13.520 --> 01:20:20.640
It's like someone decided to make the most unhinged version of the events imaginable and had it take place in off-brand Las Vegas.
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:25.039
Okay.
01:20:25.520 --> 01:20:32.800
Like, the amount of audible cheering I actually did when a bunch of dudes with machine guns stepped out of the bushes and just machine gunned this stupid beige to death.
01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:34.880
I'm like, ha ha ha, idiot.
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:39.760
Oh.
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:44.079
Or Versa got asked what a servant was, and he lied and said Charlie Chaplin.
01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:46.640
Because that was a Charlie Chaplin?
01:20:46.800 --> 01:20:47.760
And they're like, why did you say that?
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:49.279
He's like, first name that popped in my head.
01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:51.039
I also appreciate comedy.
01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:56.560
So who'd you summon as your Lancer class server?
01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:57.520
Charlie Chaplin?
01:20:57.680 --> 01:20:59.279
I think he's lying to us.
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:03.840
It's just good.
01:21:06.960 --> 01:21:11.840
Like, the idea that, like, I'm watching Freerin, and that's not the show I'm the most excited for every week.
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:20.079
Or Sentenced to Be a Hero is not the show I'm most excited for every week, is actually just a beautiful era of mankind to be living in right now.
01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:23.840
Like, I'm like, oh, I have a day off, what am I gonna watch?
01:21:24.000 --> 01:21:31.359
And like Free Rin, the thing I've said, like, yeah, award-winning Lord of the Rings Caliber Free Rin is the third show I put on.
01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:32.800
That's crazy.
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:41.680
But did you did you know there's a a Trigun sequel to the reboot of Trigon?
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:44.159
Yeah, that hasn't even made my list this season.
01:21:44.239 --> 01:21:46.399
Hence my best season of anime remark.
01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:48.880
I'll get to Trigun eventually.
01:21:49.760 --> 01:21:54.239
There's a freaking Digimon series airing that I'm just waiting till it comes out dubbed.
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:56.239
Yeah.
01:21:56.800 --> 01:21:58.159
I put Digimon on scene.
01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:02.479
I was just looking at a new anime from the season.
01:22:02.720 --> 01:22:04.399
I've seen the Trigon Stargate on there.
01:22:04.479 --> 01:22:06.479
I was like, well, is that actually new?
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:07.600
But apparently it is this season.
01:22:07.840 --> 01:22:10.960
Yeah, so they they rebooted Trigun to follow the manga.
01:22:11.279 --> 01:22:13.279
And that's the sequel to the reboot.
01:22:13.520 --> 01:22:17.279
And I will watch that at some point because it's gonna be real cool.
01:22:21.119 --> 01:22:25.439
But that's me gushing at the season right now, we're gonna like, I'll get to it when I get to it.
01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:27.680
I got enough stuff to watch.
01:22:28.880 --> 01:22:32.800
It's really up there though between Sentence Be a Hero and Straight Fate Strange Fake.
01:22:32.880 --> 01:22:40.159
I think if I wasn't already a Fate fan, where they're like bringing together tons of lingering plot arcs from like five different scenes.
01:22:40.479 --> 01:22:45.920
So all the fate shows didn't feel like they were related until Strange Fake happened, where they all became related.
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:57.520
Like the dude from Fate uh Weber from Fate Zero is one of the main characters in Fate Strange Fake as a begrunched old professor being sick of this bullshit.
01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:01.199
Yeah, okay.
01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:04.479
So like a lot of like things are going on.
01:23:04.640 --> 01:23:08.960
Also, they have they're doing the My Hero Academia Vigilante spin-off right now.
01:23:10.319 --> 01:23:11.439
Ah, yeah, okay.
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:13.920
And to talk at that, but not at length.
01:23:14.239 --> 01:23:19.039
My Hero Academia's original anime run finished, like last season.
01:23:19.439 --> 01:23:19.920
Right.
01:23:20.159 --> 01:23:23.199
My Hero Academia stuck the landing pretty good.
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:30.560
You've heard me get my rant that they like somehow shoved the entire events of the whole series into one year for some reason.
01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:31.760
Yeah, just one.
01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:33.439
Okay, sorry.
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:33.840
Go ahead.
01:23:34.239 --> 01:23:37.039
So, like, My Hero Academia has some pacing issues.
01:23:37.279 --> 01:23:40.560
They end the show, have a little time skip, it ended fine.
01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:45.920
My Hero Acad except I don't Deku loses his power, gets an Iron Man shoot.
01:23:46.239 --> 01:23:49.439
All the main thing that's funny about that is the entire audience is like, wait a minute.
01:23:49.520 --> 01:23:52.479
Wouldn't have Deku been more interesting if he didn't have a quirk the whole time.
01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:56.239
Like if he was just Iron Man?
01:23:56.399 --> 01:24:01.279
If he just ov if over the course of the show he kept building himself new gadgets and by the end of it was Iron Man?
01:24:02.960 --> 01:24:12.399
Because his suit specifically has like versions of every one of his classmates' powers, the show would have been so much more interesting if he was just building gadgets and was quirkless the entire time.
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:19.840
So My Hero Academia Vigilante's first season was interesting because it followed other characters in the world.
01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:26.800
But as suffering from Marvel syndrome in second season of they keep like diving into side characters from the main show.
01:24:26.880 --> 01:24:29.359
Like they did like a two-episode eraser head flashback.
01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:31.199
I'm like, this isn't his show.
01:24:34.000 --> 01:24:39.600
And it's annoying because they keep giving screen time to characters from the main series, even though it's a prequel.
01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:47.760
And I'm just like, have enough faith in the story you wrote that we don't have to give up 15 minutes of my Spider-Man movie to Iron Man.
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:50.560
Right.
01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:55.199
I don't need to watch Fat Gum in the My Hero Academia spin-off.
01:24:55.359 --> 01:24:57.520
You invented new characters, maybe use them.
01:24:57.680 --> 01:25:01.199
Also, they're bad at being vigilantes in vigil uh My Hero Academia Vigilantes.
01:25:01.439 --> 01:25:03.039
Like they're not even doing vigilanteism.
01:25:05.199 --> 01:25:05.680
Really?
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:06.560
Yeah, not really.
01:25:06.880 --> 01:25:12.479
We were kind of being vigilantes in the first in like the first well, probably the first season, because I did read some of the manga.
01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:14.399
Yeah, but not so much anymore.
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:19.680
He just basically helps out a pro hero who turns a blind eye and like just give him a sidekick license.
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.159
Like you know his name, you have his phone number.
01:25:26.800 --> 01:25:32.880
It's like also he's an adult, so like the old man Isn't the old man punchy McPunch face?
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:34.159
Is he actually a hero?
01:25:34.479 --> 01:25:42.319
He dropped off the scene screen time for like after like episode season one, he just leaves into the background to come back like midway through season two.
01:25:43.039 --> 01:25:43.359
Huh.
01:25:43.600 --> 01:25:49.119
And he was a former pro hero, which is ironic because that means he was technically licensed to be doing all this.
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:55.920
Because then like Punchy McPunchpace was like one of the highlights, I thought.
01:25:56.159 --> 01:26:04.479
Yeah, so we learned that Punchy McFunchpace, because they felt the need in season two to tie it all back to the main show, lost his powers to all for ones power ceiling shenanigans.
01:26:05.600 --> 01:26:08.960
So he's like, I used to have a quirk, but now I don't, so I just punch people.
01:26:09.119 --> 01:26:16.640
But what that inadvertently did, which I cannot stress enough, is wait, you're a licensed pro hero who lost your powers.
01:26:17.920 --> 01:26:19.359
Are you even committing a crime?
01:26:19.520 --> 01:26:21.279
Are you even a vigilante then?
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:28.560
Like, if a police officer loses their gun, they're still a police officer.
01:26:29.760 --> 01:26:32.640
Like I suppose.
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:35.680
So it's like, what is your struggle then?
01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:43.840
Like, there was no reason for you to be like, well, I left my friends and families behind to become a rogue vigilante.
01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:47.119
There's no reason to do that, though.
01:26:49.199 --> 01:26:50.640
You were already good.
01:26:51.439 --> 01:26:54.159
It wasn't illegal to not have a superpower.
01:26:56.560 --> 01:26:59.600
Anywho, my hero academia, it's done.
01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:00.479
It was okay.
01:27:00.640 --> 01:27:01.840
It's pretty good, I guess.
01:27:02.079 --> 01:27:06.640
It's also like the last like wrong running anime that I think's ever gonna hit that length anymore.
01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:09.439
Because manga just don't last that long anymore.
01:27:11.439 --> 01:27:12.399
Like that is true.
01:27:12.640 --> 01:27:16.159
All I'm gonna say about Chansaw Man is the fuck and then move on.
01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:19.600
Just the fuck.
01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:25.840
I'm gonna say uh uh I absolutely love uh condensing seasons into movies.
01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:27.279
Um right, yeah.
01:27:27.359 --> 01:27:28.560
We can talk about Rezé.
01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:33.279
I was worried I was gonna spoil the new chapter inadvertently, but we I'm happy to talk about the Reza arc.
01:27:33.439 --> 01:27:35.199
Oh, that was a good movie.
01:27:35.920 --> 01:27:38.319
Yeah, ironically, I haven't actually watched it yet.
01:27:38.399 --> 01:27:44.800
I kind of wanted to go see it in theaters, uh, but it I didn't get the chance, and it doesn't seem to be on Crunchyroll yet.
01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:50.479
There's a good chance that for pure quality that might actually sneak above Strange Fate.
01:27:50.720 --> 01:27:52.640
Fate, strange fake, maybe.
01:27:53.439 --> 01:27:55.760
Because they it's the whole thing's movie quality.
01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:59.760
Although I will say, converting Demon Slayer.
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:02.159
To movies works most of the time.
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:08.479
But like, eh, eh, to Demon Slayer, it's okay, I guess.
01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:09.680
I don't get the hype.
01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:11.520
I don't get it.
01:28:18.239 --> 01:28:22.880
Yeah, anything else series-wise that are worth talking about, would you say?
01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:27.680
Cause No, no, not in particular.
01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:33.760
I just uh I do want to point out that the new Digimon's actually really good for the record.
01:28:33.840 --> 01:28:39.840
I glaze past it because I'm like, I'm gonna wait till more of this comes out to like binge it when it's I like Digimon Better Dubbed.
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:42.640
I'm hearing the boos already from our comment section.
01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:44.720
But I like Digimon Better Dubbed.
01:28:45.840 --> 01:28:48.399
Well, just for no reason in particular.
01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:48.960
Nice.
01:28:49.119 --> 01:29:04.560
Uh if you like subbed uh animation, um and you like the movie movie five seasons of shows, man, the first three seasons of uh Jojo's Bizarre Adventure in the movie form.
01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:08.239
So it's pretty peaked.
01:29:08.479 --> 01:29:08.720
Oh.
01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:15.359
I know we don't have a JoJo's era yet this season, but I am so thrilled for Cannonball Run.
01:29:17.119 --> 01:29:19.359
I don't know if you've read any Cannonball Run.
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:21.199
I have not.
01:29:21.359 --> 01:29:23.359
I did finish uh Stone Ocean.
01:29:23.600 --> 01:29:25.760
So here's what I'm gonna tell you about Cannonball Run.
01:29:25.920 --> 01:29:28.079
So it's a reboot quill.
01:29:29.600 --> 01:29:33.840
Because you remember it's how Stone Ocean ended, they literally mulligan the universe.
01:29:34.319 --> 01:29:34.880
Right.
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:38.079
So it's a reboot, but now they know what they're doing.
01:29:38.319 --> 01:29:38.880
Right.
01:29:39.119 --> 01:29:43.359
So JoJo's didn't really figure out what the hell how its own show worked till about season four.
01:29:43.760 --> 01:29:44.399
Sound about right.
01:29:44.560 --> 01:29:48.560
Part four is about the time they figured out what they what the kind of story Jojo's was.
01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:56.640
So like kind of I don't know, because cause each each season like has a uh like a different genre to it.
01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:59.840
Uh yeah, like but I'll say like three was a road trip.
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:03.920
Season four was like a strange murder mystery kind of season.
01:30:04.159 --> 01:30:14.000
Yeah, but the reason I say season four is like I'm more referring to like how the power system works and how the characters work, and like functionally season four is when it becomes stable.
01:30:14.399 --> 01:30:16.079
Yeah, yeah, okay, that makes sense.
01:30:16.239 --> 01:30:25.039
So season four was like actually it's more interesting to give people weird stand powers to do is they start doing rock, paper, scissors with their stands rather than my power is more bullshit than your power.
01:30:25.840 --> 01:30:26.880
Yeah, yeah, okay.
01:30:27.199 --> 01:30:34.960
So Cannonball runs like, okay, we're gonna do all of the Jojo's things again with hindsight, but also remix and twist everything.
01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:40.319
Also, we're traveling across the United States on horseback to find the pieces of Jesus Christ in a high-stake Poker's match.
01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:45.039
Like Yes, yes to all of this.
01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:48.880
It's also one of their longer parts, so I'm like, okay, this is just a show.
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:53.359
Like, Cannonball runs just its show, it'll probably be about 50 episodes.
01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:54.159
Hmm.
01:30:54.399 --> 01:30:54.720
Okay.
01:30:55.039 --> 01:31:00.399
And I'm like, yes, the Twink version of the President's United States has a stand power that lets him go to alternate timelines.
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:02.319
I am on board for this, please.
01:31:03.920 --> 01:31:12.319
Please, like it's the Jojo's and it's like he basically he finished his original run, went, okay, I'm gonna take a year off, think about what I really want to do.
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:15.199
And then God did a ton of cocaine.
01:31:20.319 --> 01:31:22.800
Oh, that's that's what he wanted to do.
01:31:23.760 --> 01:31:25.680
And then build a bunch of business expenses.
01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:29.840
He's like, Yeah, I go on trips for writing inspiration, and then build the tax expense to just go tour him.
01:31:30.159 --> 01:31:35.600
So he did the tour himself in person of what his racetrack was gonna be and visited all the places before writing it.
01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:36.800
Huh.
01:31:38.640 --> 01:31:38.960
Yeah.
01:31:39.359 --> 01:31:39.920
Dedication.
01:31:40.239 --> 01:31:42.479
So, like, I am stoked for that.
01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:44.159
That's gonna be sick.
01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:48.640
Chojo's is so stupid, it makes me happy.
01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:52.800
It's like the anime I talk about the most out of context to classmates.
01:31:53.439 --> 01:32:04.640
I'll be like, Yeah, sure, you really enjoyed reading some Hemingway, but did it have a character do a slow-motion dropstick so a vampire would catch both his fit feet, so he could aggressively do the splits and karate chop him with solar magic?
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:05.520
I don't think.
01:32:05.680 --> 01:32:06.399
I don't think so.
01:32:06.560 --> 01:32:09.439
I think what you watch was less interesting, I'm sorry.
01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:15.359
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is extremely apt-leaning.
01:32:16.399 --> 01:32:26.079
Also, has weirdly good produ like ever since he like started the Stone Ocean reboot, like, I don't know, 10, 20 years ago, has weirdly good production values to match how stupid it is.
01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:27.039
It's great.
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:28.319
Mm-hmm.
01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:35.039
It's also like just gets not talked about, but also ta it's weird.
01:32:35.119 --> 01:32:37.760
It's like how can I put it?
01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:48.479
JoJo's is like the new battlefield or Call of Duty releases where no one's gonna like give it praise, but on a technical level, you kinda gotta acknowledge it.
01:32:49.840 --> 01:32:53.840
Well, and and like the the artist is um a legend.
01:32:54.159 --> 01:33:13.039
Like actually he's a legend that actually like draws inspiration from classical art, and so like people who are in that scene are like, yeah, this is like amazing stuff that like mirrors styles that they are impressed by.
01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:37.680
And then it's just this like dumb like my power is more busted than your power stands and like I like his like interest in you know what's fascinating about JoJo's, and to a certain extent, to uh sentence to be a hero as well, anime over the last 30 years of our lives has gone through stylistic shifts over time, right?
01:33:38.479 --> 01:33:38.800
Right.
01:33:39.039 --> 01:33:50.560
Like we start off like the Dragon Ball style was very big when we were growing up, of like not super wide-eyed, chiseled muscles drawn in, uh semi-outlined background.
01:33:50.720 --> 01:33:53.680
Like the art style and character models started that way.
01:33:54.079 --> 01:34:03.119
Then all the character models got softer and rounder, the characters looked younger and younger, to the point where we're like, this 28-year-old woman looks 12.
01:34:03.359 --> 01:34:05.119
And then JoJo's didn't.
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:12.960
Jojo's refused to shift in the direction art was shifting for manga and anime.
01:34:13.279 --> 01:34:18.000
Like, I'm on a category right now on the sh a crunchy roll in the background that's like pure show and jump.
01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:28.319
But you look at the cover of Black Clover, you look at the cover of Doctor Stone, Boruto, even Dragon Ball Super, you're like, you watch art shift, like you even watch Dragon Ball's art shift, right?
01:34:29.279 --> 01:34:30.720
Where everyone's zoodlearmed.
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:32.399
And then Jojo's like, hell no.
01:34:32.479 --> 01:34:33.760
We're just inked differently.
01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:35.439
We're just done differently.
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:37.439
We ignored the shifts completely.
01:34:37.600 --> 01:34:38.880
We do what we want.
01:34:39.840 --> 01:34:44.319
Cause like, you look at Assassination Classroom, you're like, yeah, that's where the art style went.
01:34:44.479 --> 01:34:48.640
And then Jojo's just doesn't give a single solitary fuck what other people are doing.
01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:53.520
He's like, no, I could not care less.
01:34:54.399 --> 01:34:59.840
Like, I'm pretty sure if an editor of Jojo's told Aminie do this, he would just throw rocks at them till they left.
01:35:05.520 --> 01:35:06.319
Probably.
01:35:07.359 --> 01:35:07.680
Uh.
01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:24.000
Although it's funny to listen to some of Oda's recent interviews where he's like, yeah, the one live-action one piece means I don't have to fight with my editors or Toey about decisions, so I can make this character have melanin in there uh be melanated and be of different ethnicities, where Toey didn't like that.
01:35:24.079 --> 01:35:25.439
I'm like, oh no.
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:36.319
Wait, how much of my constant debate of how woke is Oda being like, oh, wait a minute, how much was he held back by Show and Jump being like, you can't do this?
01:35:36.479 --> 01:35:39.279
You can't give this woman a speaking role in this manga.
01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:43.680
I gotta wonder.
01:35:45.920 --> 01:35:52.079
Talking about that shift in art style, uh, original one, like the original season of One Piece.
01:35:52.800 --> 01:35:58.399
It's like watching the first few seasons of The Simpsons or Family Guy.
01:35:59.119 --> 01:36:07.920
Uh because it's just been on so long, uh that the animation style is completely different.
01:36:09.119 --> 01:36:17.359
Um and then I talked about art style, and it's like um Nami started out human reasonably sized.
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:18.800
I'm just gonna say human.
01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:26.239
Now it's like every female character is ridiculously overly busty for the fan service.
01:36:26.479 --> 01:36:34.239
And it's like when you adapt that to live action, that's definitely something that just doesn't happen.
01:36:34.479 --> 01:36:41.359
Well, it's really funny is like so you know how algorithms try and put things into your feed specifically to make me mad?
01:36:41.520 --> 01:36:43.600
Like, that's just how technology works.
01:36:43.920 --> 01:36:44.319
Right, right.
01:36:44.560 --> 01:36:47.279
So things like Snuck and Speed be like, live action one piece.
01:36:47.520 --> 01:36:50.079
Fans disappointed by Nami's lack of but-da-da.
01:36:50.239 --> 01:36:52.239
I'm like, no one's actually disappointed by this.
01:36:52.399 --> 01:36:53.199
Just stop.
01:36:55.760 --> 01:37:11.199
If you're a human being who looks at Emily Rudd and thinks, yeah, she really needs to be wearing giant novelty fake breasts the size of her head to play this role, go take a shower, clean the gunk out of your fingernails, and go step outside.
01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:18.800
Cause if you honestly believe that is a problem to justify whether you watch a piece of media, you're broken.
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:20.880
Hmm.
01:37:21.119 --> 01:37:23.840
You're just broken as a human being.
01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:26.800
If that's a sticking point for you as a person.
01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:34.159
Like, if you actually see that on saw a human being with Nami's proportions, you'd vomit because it'd be a medical nightmare.
01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:39.439
Like, you'd be like, oh god, like that's a horror monster.
01:37:39.520 --> 01:37:44.560
That's a Baba Yaga, like not the John Wick one, like the actual one.
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:50.399
If you're um watching anime for the fan service, don't.
01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:53.680
There's a good chance you should you should probably move to Epstein's Island.
01:37:54.239 --> 01:37:54.880
Yeah.
01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.840
But seriously, if I offended anyone with my rant there, unsubscribe to this podcast.
01:38:01.039 --> 01:38:06.960
And if I offended you, anyone with that, then you know, subscribe to this podcast and just listen for the hate.
01:38:09.039 --> 01:38:12.000
It's kind of funny where I'm like, no, no, like I'm an attention hoe.
01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:13.279
This is common knowledge.
01:38:13.520 --> 01:38:19.199
But I don't need your attention if you're posting that live-action Ami needs more cleavage.
01:38:19.279 --> 01:38:21.520
I don't need you in my life.
01:38:23.279 --> 01:38:29.119
Take a deep long look in the mirror and really ask yourself, is it worth it to type this at a keyboard?
01:38:29.279 --> 01:38:31.119
Like, did you get up and type this?
01:38:31.359 --> 01:38:32.880
You could have been sleeping.
01:38:33.199 --> 01:38:40.319
Objectively, a better use of your time than complaining about live-action anime actress's physical features is being asleep.
01:38:42.720 --> 01:38:45.520
That is a better contribution to society.
01:38:46.800 --> 01:38:50.159
Um, perhaps we should move on to our random question of the day.
01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:51.920
Alright, so we gotta view it.
01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:56.800
So, our first random question What is your favorite flavor of soda pop?
01:38:58.079 --> 01:39:00.399
My favorite flavor of soda pop.
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:02.800
Very basic, very clean.
01:39:03.119 --> 01:39:09.199
So I wanted to say barks, and I've been fighting with this question since I received it yesterday.
01:39:10.479 --> 01:39:14.000
Okay, are you gonna mix it up and say barks cream soda?
01:39:14.239 --> 01:39:18.800
So my brother literally sent me a text asking for me to bring home cream soda yesterday.
01:39:19.359 --> 01:39:20.880
Like that actually happened.
01:39:21.199 --> 01:39:23.840
But I think it's Perry Coke for me.
01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:25.359
Mmm.
01:39:26.720 --> 01:39:39.840
And our second question, which is really specific, and they have no way of knowing what we're talking about, because we're doing this live recording right now, and the question just came in, and we don't tell people our episodes in advance.
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So know that this just came in unprompted randomly.
01:39:43.199 --> 01:39:48.399
Which JoJo part would Doug Ford be the best antagonist in, and what would his stand be?
01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:55.359
Oh lord.
01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:59.520
Which JoJo part would he the best antagonist in?
01:39:59.840 --> 01:40:04.479
So because he's Canadian, I like uh here's a hot take.
01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:09.840
I think a Jojo's part taking place in Canada in Saskatoon would actually be inspired.
01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:17.840
So I'm putting Doug Ford as the antagonist in like a missing chapter between part two and part three.
01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:25.840
I'm going like early settle like I want to go like 1930s-40s, Sask like Canada.
01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:30.319
So I'm feeling like this is a Joseph Joestar situation.
01:40:32.159 --> 01:40:44.079
So I'm going like, he just cheated on his wife, came back from Japan, is in Canada, and is dealing with Doug Ford, trying to cancel education as he's trying to get his marine biology degree.
01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:45.039
No.
01:40:45.279 --> 01:40:58.079
Part three takes place after it, after defeating Dio, where uh Joe Ski uh not Joe Ski, um Jodoro is in Canada to get his marine biology degree at University of Toronto.
01:40:58.239 --> 01:41:00.159
And Doug Ford is an evil stand user.
01:41:00.239 --> 01:41:09.760
And his stan's ability is privatization, where when he punches something, if they don't pay him a tithe, they explode.
01:41:12.640 --> 01:41:24.159
So his stand slaps you, and then you have like it's some kind of contract-based stand that like slaps you and make he like generate like if you don't pay the tithe, you die.
01:41:24.319 --> 01:41:26.479
I'm trying to figure out exactly how that'd work.
01:41:27.119 --> 01:41:33.520
I'm also really partial to his stand being a megaphone that makes things that he says through it sound more reasonable.
01:41:38.399 --> 01:41:44.399
Um I mean, what part do I think he would be a good antagonist in?
01:41:44.640 --> 01:41:47.359
I'm feeling part three post-DEO personally.
01:41:49.439 --> 01:41:58.000
Yeah, well, see, I I kind of think firstly, uh part four is my my favorite seas part of my favorite season.
01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:03.680
I mean, man, uh before between four and five is some real fighting, but yes.
01:42:05.279 --> 01:42:13.279
Well I would probably like part five more if it was released more consistently on the shown and jump app.
01:42:13.680 --> 01:42:27.039
Uh because it's just uh it's complete, but it's not they finished Stone Ocean on Shonen Jump before they finished re-releasing all the vault chapters for part five for the Mafia Golden Wind, that's what they say.
01:42:27.279 --> 01:42:31.520
I have Stone Ocean rated weirdly high, but I find Jolene amusing.
01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:34.640
Um, but part four.
01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:49.680
Uh if they added some political intrigue and uh Doug Ford's stand power was like a propaganda advertising machine, you know, like because he paid for all those advertisements against tariffs in the United States.
01:42:49.920 --> 01:42:50.319
Yup.
01:42:53.359 --> 01:43:02.399
I I think I think he would be a pretty good antagonist in in that particular setting of of the mystery town with some extra political intrigue.
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:06.159
Alright, so I have two more suggestions for Doug Ford, because I like this.
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:16.880
So this one's kind of a hot take, but Doug Ford, Early Canada, part 7, like Stone Ball Run, is a vampire, doesn't have a stand.
01:43:19.199 --> 01:43:20.880
It's just straight up a vampire.
01:43:21.119 --> 01:43:32.000
Because Doug Ford, looking and sounding how he does, but being a vampire, like chonky middle-aged Homer Simpson type, being an actual vampire, is a like admit it.
01:43:32.079 --> 01:43:36.000
The D you'd go to his rally and just go, advice, he was really funny.
01:43:38.159 --> 01:43:42.319
So part one that takes place, like my pitch is it's part one.
01:43:42.800 --> 01:43:47.840
But what's happening in Canada at the same time with current Doug Ford, who does not die at the end of part one.
01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:51.359
Just changes his name every few years.
01:43:53.199 --> 01:44:10.079
And like a Joe Star uh Joestar family member who has to learn like solar martial arts from like a like regional offshoot of Hamon learned from the aboriginal tribes in Canada to karate punch Doug Ford.
01:44:11.520 --> 01:44:14.319
The early colonies is pretty great, you gotta admit.
01:44:17.359 --> 01:44:18.720
That would be pretty funny.
01:44:18.960 --> 01:44:21.760
But I also am really partial to a stand being a billboard.
01:44:21.920 --> 01:44:25.039
Like the advertiser idea that's just a billboard is really funny.
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:27.520
Or Doug Ford being the billboard stand.
01:44:30.239 --> 01:44:32.560
Like, I do love what they like, no no.
01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:37.520
Doug Ford is the stand, and the billboard is the stand user.
01:44:40.479 --> 01:44:42.479
That would be pretty hilarious.
01:44:43.600 --> 01:44:47.840
Uh and the last random question to wrap things up.
01:44:48.079 --> 01:44:51.520
If you could have a devil fruit power, what would it be and why?
01:44:54.000 --> 01:44:56.239
If I could have a devil fruit power.
01:44:57.760 --> 01:45:02.079
Okay, so the only stipulation is that I can't swim.
01:45:02.319 --> 01:45:02.800
Correct.
01:45:02.960 --> 01:45:04.800
So I'd obviously have one.
01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:07.600
Can't swim in seawater.
01:45:08.159 --> 01:45:10.159
Swimming pools still count.
01:45:11.520 --> 01:45:13.600
You're you're allowed to swim in a swimming pool?
01:45:13.760 --> 01:45:14.800
I don't know, maybe.
01:45:14.960 --> 01:45:16.399
That's probably how I die.
01:45:20.479 --> 01:45:22.399
Well, anyways.
01:45:22.640 --> 01:45:25.199
Uh oh man, that would that would be awful.
01:45:25.439 --> 01:45:29.439
Go off a diving board, just think straight to the bottom, and we can dive deep enough to get you.
01:45:32.239 --> 01:45:33.439
Anyways.
01:45:33.760 --> 01:45:36.000
What would my stand power be?
01:45:36.079 --> 01:45:38.880
Or what would my uh fruit double fruit power be?
01:45:39.119 --> 01:45:42.720
So the one I'm picking is a stupid fruit.
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:46.640
It's not the best devil fruit, but I have between two.
01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:50.000
The first is the devil fruit that lets you send something into the future.
01:45:50.239 --> 01:45:52.239
The Toki Toki fruit.
01:45:52.800 --> 01:45:56.560
Because I think the character that had that power did not use it correctly at all.
01:45:57.600 --> 01:46:02.159
Wait, am I supposed to invent a new fruit, or am I supposed to move one of the existing fruits?
01:46:04.800 --> 01:46:08.800
I think picking one of the existing fruits that comes to mind, or if you invent a new one.
01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:11.119
Let's go existing.
01:46:12.640 --> 01:46:13.039
Hmm.
01:46:13.279 --> 01:46:14.399
So I'm going with the one.
01:46:15.279 --> 01:46:21.279
So this character has the power to send people into the future, and all they do with it is like send several samurai into the future.
01:46:21.600 --> 01:46:23.840
I would be using it to obito my way through life.
01:46:23.920 --> 01:46:27.439
Like I send myself like one second in the future so your punch goes through me.
01:46:27.840 --> 01:46:29.840
And I would use this for combat powers.
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:34.479
Because if I punch somebody a hundred years into the future, they're just not my problem anymore.
01:46:35.760 --> 01:46:38.960
Because I gave it to like, oh, I'm a passive character.
01:46:39.119 --> 01:46:40.159
I don't really do this.
01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:42.880
I used it to do this, and I'm like, no, no, no.
01:46:43.199 --> 01:46:53.199
You are not understanding the complex implications of being able to move yourself a week into the future so people leave you alone, and being able to punch somebody a hundred years, like that's amazing.
01:46:53.760 --> 01:46:58.319
You know how hard it'd be for you to fight me when you throw a punch and I'm just gone for a week?
01:46:59.439 --> 01:47:04.000
And then I'm just behind you and I tap you on the shoulder and I launch you into 1973.
01:47:05.359 --> 01:47:06.880
Underutilized.
01:47:09.840 --> 01:47:15.920
Although I'd also really like the flout uh hormone fruit that lets you punch the gender out of people or into people.
01:47:17.439 --> 01:47:19.279
You know how much is kind of funny.
01:47:19.680 --> 01:47:29.119
Uh, the political damage, well, not only does it have like great medical powers, gives you super strength things, but I could shake Doug Ford's hand and trance him on the spot and just see what happens.
01:47:30.399 --> 01:47:35.680
Like, the number of people, aggressively sexist people, I'd slap the gender out of.
01:47:36.159 --> 01:47:41.600
Or, you know, like help people to not need extensive surgery and drugs for years, I could just slap them and solve it.
01:47:41.760 --> 01:47:45.119
For the record, it's always a slap though, even if it's someone I'm trying to help out.
01:47:45.840 --> 01:47:48.880
Because if someone's like serious, like, I'm not comfortable in my skin, can you help me?
01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:50.399
I'm like, absolutely, and I'd slap them.
01:47:50.640 --> 01:47:51.600
It'd be done.
01:47:52.800 --> 01:47:53.680
That'd be done.
01:47:53.920 --> 01:47:58.239
And I would ch I would still charge, but I'd undercut the actual procedure by like 90%.
01:47:58.800 --> 01:48:00.239
Still need to make some money off this.
01:48:01.039 --> 01:48:04.319
How much money I can make if I can slap around people's genders.
01:48:07.359 --> 01:48:09.520
And I would tell everyone it requires a slap.
01:48:09.680 --> 01:48:10.239
It doesn't.
01:48:10.399 --> 01:48:14.159
But I tell everyone it does, and that's part of how the power works.
01:48:14.560 --> 01:48:15.199
Hmm.
01:48:16.319 --> 01:48:16.960
Hmm.
01:48:18.720 --> 01:48:22.800
I'm assuming you're panic scrolling through the uh devil fruit wiki right now.
01:48:23.520 --> 01:48:25.600
Well, I mean, I was I actually haven't opened yet.
01:48:25.680 --> 01:48:31.119
I'm just I was listening to you trying to think about what devil fruits I actually vaguely know.
01:48:31.439 --> 01:48:35.840
And if you don't, odds are any superpower you can think of, there's probably a fruit that doesn't.
01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:37.279
Statistically.
01:48:39.520 --> 01:48:40.319
Let's see.
01:48:44.800 --> 01:48:46.000
What do they have?
01:48:46.079 --> 01:48:50.319
A list drugs, huh?
01:48:54.640 --> 01:48:54.800
Okay.
01:48:57.760 --> 01:49:00.720
The library should Pharmacia.
01:49:04.960 --> 01:49:08.319
Anything other than the ability to transform to animals or elements of nature.
01:49:09.439 --> 01:49:10.880
The other category.
01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:12.560
Okay.
01:49:17.439 --> 01:49:19.920
Allow you to turn into a specific animal.
01:49:23.119 --> 01:49:26.880
Unlike other treble fruits, all the fruits carries are a will of their own.
01:49:28.399 --> 01:49:34.159
Yeah, someone fell fed the elephant suit uh fruit to a sword to have a sword that can turn into an elephant.
01:49:36.640 --> 01:49:36.800
Okay.
01:49:37.840 --> 01:49:39.119
Logia fruits.
01:49:40.239 --> 01:49:43.520
Rare is the most powerful element of nature.
01:49:43.920 --> 01:49:44.479
Yeah, okay.
01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:47.600
Alright, I'm gonna I have a list that's clean, so I'm gonna start listing one.
01:49:47.760 --> 01:49:49.920
You can just tell me to stop when I get one you like.
01:49:50.640 --> 01:49:51.119
Okay, okay.
01:49:51.359 --> 01:49:53.520
Gumu gummu, body becomes stretchy.
01:49:53.760 --> 01:49:56.479
Barra bara, you can chop your body into pieces.
01:49:56.720 --> 01:49:59.680
Subi subi, you become extremely smooth and slippery.
01:50:00.079 --> 01:50:02.720
Bamu Bamu, body parts become explosives.
01:50:02.880 --> 01:50:05.520
Kilo Kilo, control your personal body weight.
01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:06.560
Hana Hana.
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:08.479
Spout body parts anywhere.
01:50:08.720 --> 01:50:09.600
Doru Doru.
01:50:09.920 --> 01:50:11.199
Generate and control wax.
01:50:11.439 --> 01:50:18.479
Baku Baku, eat and merge objects together in your stomach and uh generate and control wax.
01:50:18.560 --> 01:50:19.520
That one sounds like fun.
01:50:19.760 --> 01:50:21.199
That one's pretty great.
01:50:22.079 --> 01:50:22.640
Yeah.
01:50:23.119 --> 01:50:24.960
This list goes for a very long time.
01:50:25.119 --> 01:50:41.199
Including things such as turning people into toys, making uncreepable breakable barriers, swimming through solid ground, producing sticky flammable mucus, turning objects into flags, trapping people aside books, creating and controlling biscuits.
01:50:42.720 --> 01:50:43.039
Right.
01:50:43.600 --> 01:50:56.479
Transforming into uh light itself, turning into a cow, sun god rubber powers, eight-headed serpents, divine ice wolf, and a squirrel that turns into a hammer.
01:50:57.199 --> 01:50:58.720
Or a hammer that turns into a squirrel.
01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:00.880
I think it's a hammer that turns into a squirrel.
01:51:06.079 --> 01:51:13.039
Uh, but with that tangent, thank you everyone for tuning in to Carl and Richard Presents Deep Space and Dragons, the Carl show starring Dr.
01:51:13.119 --> 01:51:13.680
Carl.
01:51:13.920 --> 01:51:24.239
And if you have your random questions, send them in to be put in a lottery to win a signed copy of the Waltz of Blades, or maybe some of our merch, because we have merch.
01:51:25.600 --> 01:51:27.039
Yeah, we got merch.
01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:28.319
Including a mug.
01:51:28.560 --> 01:51:29.279
Indeed.
01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:34.960
Although it is funny that I had someone from my campus win the last draw, so I just signed the book and handed it to them.
01:51:35.279 --> 01:51:39.439
I feel like I should have put it in an envelope or something, so they had to unwrap it, but such is life.
01:51:40.079 --> 01:51:41.119
Such is life.
01:51:41.439 --> 01:51:51.600
Although it is funny that Although it is funny that there's a non-zero chance that one of my students from my tutorials listens to this, sends in a question, and wins a prize, so like there'll be a tutorial.
01:51:51.680 --> 01:51:55.920
I'll be like, before we write the exam, here's your signed copy, and explain nothing.
01:51:59.600 --> 01:52:02.079
Well, they let them know that you're the same person, don't they?
01:52:02.159 --> 01:52:06.159
Like to Yeah, but the other students are the ones that'd be deeply baffled.
01:52:06.960 --> 01:52:07.680
Uh yeah.
01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:11.039
Oh no, it'd be so much funnier if they thought I was a different Richard.
01:52:11.279 --> 01:52:13.199
Oh, they're just an unrelated fan of the podcast.
01:52:13.279 --> 01:52:14.000
I want that.
01:52:14.239 --> 01:52:16.479
I want them to not connect these dots.
01:52:17.520 --> 01:52:22.399
That'd be impressively hard to do to not realize that these are two separate Richards.
01:52:24.399 --> 01:52:26.560
That would be that would be impressive.
01:52:27.119 --> 01:52:34.960
Like I see someone with a deep space and dragons custom t-shirt they made with their Carl tattoo, and they have no idea I do this podcast.
01:52:35.279 --> 01:52:36.960
Oh, cinema.
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:41.359
Better than JJK season three.
01:52:44.000 --> 01:52:44.640
Uh I don't know.
01:52:44.720 --> 01:52:46.399
Stay hydrated, folks.
01:52:46.640 --> 01:52:49.199
Have a good day, and I think you all deserve a little treat.
01:52:49.359 --> 01:52:51.680
I bought cinnamon buns from Ikea for$1.50.
01:52:51.840 --> 01:52:54.239
Not a sponsor, just a good use of a dollar fifty.
01:52:55.439 --> 01:52:59.680
Yeah, I've never actually never tried the meatballs there, but they're delicious.
01:53:00.239 --> 01:53:02.800
Whatever animal they're made from is tasty.
01:53:04.319 --> 01:53:04.640
Bye.
01:53:05.199 --> 01:53:05.439
Bye.
01:53:05.920 --> 01:53:06.640
Oh man.
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:08.159
Ikea, don't see us.
