[00:01:18] Speaker A: Do you want me to make love to it? Hello, everyone, and thank you for tuning in to Vegas Geek Crew. This is episode 7.2, the anime episode. This is Nate El Vindicator Ramirez, and this is Nolina. [00:01:35] Speaker C: Hey, dude. Welcome back. You've been absent for two episodes. [00:01:39] Speaker A: Yes, I have. [00:01:40] Speaker C: And it's okay. You had what is family occurrences. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Yes. [00:01:44] Speaker C: And so is it. Is the puppy okay? [00:01:46] Speaker A: He. He is okay. Yeah. I was. I was very scared. Reason why I was scared is because I still didn't have him vaccinated. So I was so worried that he had gotten Parvo, and so that was my big worry about it. [00:01:58] Speaker C: Yeah, Parvo is expensive or bye bye, doggy. [00:02:00] Speaker A: Yes. [00:02:01] Speaker C: And so. But he's okay? [00:02:02] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he's perfect. Yeah. I took him in. They. They tested him. They're like, oh, no, he's got no Parvo. They're like. They ask me questions. They're like, you know, has he been around? I'm like, no, I don't let him out because I have, you know, you know, our job. We're busy all the time. [00:02:13] Speaker C: Yeah. And not only that, you basically. You raise city dogs like I do. I like them well trained. They're usually house dogs. They don't really spend time outside. Plus, yeah, I think our inclement weather here in the valley doesn't allow them to be outside as much as we would want to have them outside. [00:02:27] Speaker A: Right. [00:02:27] Speaker C: It just drains them. The heat right now especially. Our heat index is averaging around 110 degrees. What did they say? What was it? [00:02:35] Speaker A: I don't. They didn't really specify it. It just seemed like he. He must have ate something that. That got him sick. It was. They couldn't. They didn't really specify, like, what it [00:02:44] Speaker C: was you know, my brother, the one thing that. That has made our dog sick or my dog sick is he. He likes to give him cheese, bro. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:02:53] Speaker C: Yeah. I'm like, man, don't give him cheese because they. It's different. Because he likes to do the different cheeses, the sharp cheddars, the goudas and all this stuff. And I'm like, don't give it to them. Their digestive system doesn't always react the right way. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:08] Speaker C: And then all. Next thing you know, I have a little squirt gun for a dog. It's like, pooping out of. You know, it's like, everywhere. And I'm just. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how he was. [00:03:16] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:03:17] Speaker A: Like, basically I woke up and it's like diarrhea everywhere. And I was just like, oh, my God, what do I do? I took him outside in my backyard, and then, you know, he did his business, but it was all ready. And so I started worrying. I was like. I started panicking. I was like, what do I do? What do I do? [00:03:34] Speaker C: Because I'm like, yeah, because they can get dehydrated. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:37] Speaker C: And that's a big worry, especially living out here. Right. You can't give them enough water, but then if you give them too much, then they, you know, piddle in the house. And so. But I'm glad he's doing better. And Rocket and Groot are doing well. Both of them. [00:03:49] Speaker A: Both of them, yes. [00:03:50] Speaker C: Okay. And is there anything that you recommend our listeners not do with the dogs, or do you feel that there's something that could have been done to prevent him from being so ill? [00:04:01] Speaker A: I'm not sure, but I would say make sure there's no pine cones, because I don't know that it was something that I gave him. I usually don't give him any. Anything but dog food. So I'm thinking that. Because he likes to bite on the pine cones, so I'm thinking maybe he bit on something. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Well. And also, like, there's so many cats out here. [00:04:22] Speaker A: Yes. [00:04:22] Speaker C: It could have been cat pee or something. [00:04:24] Speaker A: Oh, well, I have a cat. [00:04:26] Speaker C: Oh, I have cats. [00:04:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:04:28] Speaker C: Yeah. So. And I. I know that they don't. Most dogs don't do well with other animals. Foods. What if it got into the cafe? [00:04:37] Speaker A: No, I don't think so. [00:04:38] Speaker C: No. [00:04:39] Speaker A: But she does like to play with the cat. I mean, he does like to play with the cat. [00:04:42] Speaker C: He does. [00:04:42] Speaker A: He loves her. He loves her. Yeah. [00:04:44] Speaker C: How's the cat react? [00:04:45] Speaker A: Oh, she plays with them. She. She'll taunt them sometimes, too. She'll go up to them and she's like, hits it with a paw, Dude. [00:04:54] Speaker C: It's. It's fun having more than one pet, especially because they. They make you feel at home when you're at home, right? [00:05:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:01] Speaker C: I'm glad everything's fine. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad we're recording this. This is the second part of the anime episode. Obviously, we just released the first part. [00:05:08] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:09] Speaker C: What do you think? [00:05:09] Speaker A: Oh, I loved it. [00:05:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:11] Speaker C: It was entertaining, right? It was engaging. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Very engaging. [00:05:14] Speaker C: Ultimately, I think it follows our mission statement when you and I started this, because this is a you and I thing. Our main thing was just to have engaging conversations with each other. [00:05:22] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:23] Speaker C: Find time to communicate. Because just like you and me, we find that that's something in common, we have is we. We love to communicate with each other when we can. Because first we're. We're fathers. [00:05:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:34] Speaker C: You like spending time with your little ones? [00:05:36] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:05:37] Speaker C: And you know, when. When my little one's here, I don't. I ignore the world. She's my primary focus. I. I'm glad that we can find time to do this. Ultimately, doing these helps. We're almost at two years of doing this. [00:05:51] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:52] Speaker C: It to me, I look forward to them when we can get them done. But ultimately, I respect everybody's time. [00:05:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:58] Speaker C: And, you know, we don't do this as a business. There's no monetary gain at all. This is strictly just for fun. This is a hobby that we've created. I mean. Yes. We have stickers now. What you think of the sticker? [00:06:08] Speaker A: I love the stickers, dude. [00:06:09] Speaker C: The stickers are dope. Right. With the QR code. They are. At the end of the day, I like sitting down my two best friends or two of my best friends and just talking about the things we enjoy. And if it's relatable to somebody, it's relatable to somebody. By the way, it's really relatable to people in Colorado. That's where we get the most listens. [00:06:29] Speaker A: Really? [00:06:29] Speaker C: Yeah. So shout out to Colorado. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Wow. Yeah. Let's go. Colorado. [00:06:34] Speaker C: Yeah. We like everything about Colorado except the Broncos, because I'm a Seahawks fan. I don't know about you. [00:06:40] Speaker A: I have never been to Colorado. Actually, there. There's some places I do want to go to. I want to go to. I think it's Mesa Verde National Park. Want to go visit that dude? [00:06:51] Speaker C: Maybe we can do a live episode one day. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Right. [00:06:53] Speaker C: And just travel to all these places where we actually have listeners it's like, hey, the five of you that listen in this state, we're gonna be in your town. But no, then. And that's the overall thing. I'm glad you listened to last episode. I'm happy you're here for this episode. We're gonna do a little recap. Last episode, me and Belante kind of talked about the enemies that brought us joy and kind of character. We kind of saw a reflection of ourselves in. And I don't know if you. Did you listen the interview with my best friend? [00:07:23] Speaker A: Yes. [00:07:23] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. And so Shane. Shane did that for us because he wanted to. He wanted to give his piece because he listens. He's an avid listener. What have you been up to in the last month? [00:07:35] Speaker A: The last month I've been on vacation. I was in Puerto Vallarta. [00:07:42] Speaker C: How was that? [00:07:42] Speaker A: It was amazing. Amazing. I. I don't know why. I never really wanted to go there. Like, it wasn't one of those places where I was like, oh, let me go. Like, I want to go there. Like, no. [00:07:54] Speaker C: Did you try their tequila? [00:07:56] Speaker A: No. I even got a free bottle. [00:07:58] Speaker C: What? [00:07:59] Speaker A: And I left it in the room. I forgot it. Yeah. [00:08:04] Speaker C: Dude, you. You have so many squirrel moments. [00:08:07] Speaker A: Like. [00:08:08] Speaker C: Yeah. I would have been like, dude, you should have brought that for drink of the day. [00:08:11] Speaker A: Yeah, it would have been great. [00:08:13] Speaker C: What did drink of the day? Did we say what it was? [00:08:17] Speaker A: It's a sunny D. So this is [00:08:19] Speaker C: a sunny D vodka seltzer. We had this on episode seven. [00:08:23] Speaker A: Yes. [00:08:23] Speaker C: So bring. Just bridging into that. We're doing the same thing this time because I wanted no way to be a part of the experience. It was good. The. This test sound bite was me talking to you about the seltzer. [00:08:35] Speaker A: Oh. [00:08:36] Speaker C: What. So what do you think of the seltzer overall? I. I like five stars. [00:08:39] Speaker A: I'm. I'm kind of with Belance. I'm not really big on seltzer drinks, but it's good. It's good. I have a hard time finding them. There's some that I like, and there's some that feel too watered down and, like, they don't taste like anything. But this one's good. [00:08:55] Speaker C: This one is smooth. There's actually enough flavor to really. It's. It's so smooth, and it's. It's enjoyable. Delonte was one thing he kept referencing. He's like, this should be in an adult lunchable. [00:09:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:09] Speaker C: And so I was like. I was like, you know what, dude? It should be. It's. I think it's delicious. Well, I'm also a big Sunny D guy. I always have a bottle in the fridge, but this specific one, you're. [00:09:20] Speaker A: You're drinking what I'm drinking Orange pineapple, [00:09:23] Speaker C: Sunny D. I'm having the orange tangy one last time. That's the one I drank. That's my favorite. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:09:29] Speaker C: I. I also like this tangy one. The only one they haven't tried still is the strawberry one. And that's because I'm fearful it's going to be the shitty one. [00:09:36] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:09:37] Speaker C: Did you. So you went to. Did you do any events or. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Why were you there? [00:09:40] Speaker C: Just vacation. [00:09:40] Speaker A: I was just on vacation. I. You know, after working so many. So many hours and so many months, you know. You know how. How the business is over here. I was just. I was exhausted. I was like, I just need a vacation. I just want to go. My, my. My original plan was Fiji. I requested a room in Fiji and the. The resort denied it. They said they didn't have capacity for it for me. So. So then I, I called. [00:10:08] Speaker C: I think it has to do with the fact that you're an American citizen trying to visit Fiji. Or do you think it's because it was just a high occupancy time of the year? [00:10:17] Speaker A: I want to say that it could be a high capacity time of the year. I didn't really check, but I looked at the weather and the weather was like perfect. It was in 70s and it's. And it's winter down there. [00:10:28] Speaker C: Damn. [00:10:29] Speaker A: Yeah, Damn. So it was like perfect weather. Right? So. And the other thing was, I was. I also put myself down as the only person going. So some. Sometimes these resorts, they want two people. [00:10:40] Speaker C: Were you trying to go to a sex resort? [00:10:42] Speaker A: No, I was just. I just wanted to go and take a vacation by myself. [00:10:47] Speaker C: You're like, you're like, oh, bro, no, no, no. You had fun. It was good. [00:10:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it was good. [00:10:57] Speaker C: Have you gone to any events? Did you go. Did you go to Amazing? [00:11:00] Speaker A: I. I did not. No. You sent me that. That, the thing. [00:11:03] Speaker C: But it was at the Binion or whatever. Not Baza Horse. [00:11:09] Speaker A: Oh, that's right. It was at the plaza. [00:11:11] Speaker C: It was at the Plaza. And I found that awkward because the plaza's exhibit space is small. [00:11:16] Speaker A: Is it. [00:11:16] Speaker C: It lit? [00:11:17] Speaker A: So did it get smaller? [00:11:18] Speaker C: I don't know, dude. And I, I put it in there because I was like, it got. I know the, the convention space, it's little and then. But I saw. Did you see the ticket prices was like $70. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Really? [00:11:30] Speaker C: Yeah, dude. Per day. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Per day? [00:11:33] Speaker C: Yeah. And that used to be like a $15 show, right? Per day. And so I was like. I. [00:11:40] Speaker A: And so I was like, oh, I don't know. [00:11:42] Speaker C: It was the last weekend my daughter was here. [00:11:44] Speaker A: Uhhuh. [00:11:44] Speaker C: And I didn't. I was like. I asked her. I left it up to her. I was like, hey, what do you want to do? She's like, take me to the water park. And I was. I was like, all right, I'll take you to the water park. So we went to a cowabunga out here. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Okay. [00:11:57] Speaker C: And she had a blast. We went on some water slides. And since she's so little. So they make me ride with her. She can't ride by herself yet. Dude. It's stressful. Dude, it's so stressful because, like, she'll hold on to my legs instead of holding on to the handles. [00:12:11] Speaker A: Oh. [00:12:12] Speaker C: And then she, like. She'll rip out like. Like tufts of hair. And I'm like, oh. And then I'm just like, dude. I was like. Or she'll start digging her nails into my legs. And I'm like, you're hurting me. She's like, I'm scared. Like, why did we get on this? And we're gonna be scared of the whole time? And so she's like, I want to go on this one and this one. And I was just like, jesus. And then after she saw that, I, like, I was like, look at my legs. It looks like I shaved. And she. She finds it so funny. She's like, look, daddy, you're bald here. It's like, no, it's not funny. But we ended up doing a lot of Lazy River. We spent like six hours there. And really, there's a lot of people. There's a lot. There's a lot of young people. And they go in there with the bravado. Like, this is my set. And it's like, come on, Dave. It's a family friendly park. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Right? Right. But it's. It's like that everywhere. [00:13:00] Speaker C: Right. [00:13:00] Speaker A: Everywhere you go. It's like. Like, I just went. I just took my kids to. To Magic Mountain. [00:13:06] Speaker C: Six Flags. [00:13:07] Speaker A: Six Flags? Yes. [00:13:07] Speaker C: In California. [00:13:08] Speaker A: In California. [00:13:09] Speaker C: No way. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Yes. [00:13:10] Speaker C: That's where Buck's bunny lives. [00:13:11] Speaker A: Yes. [00:13:11] Speaker C: How was it? [00:13:12] Speaker A: It. It was amazing. I think I wrote the most rides I've ever wrote in one day. I did 11 rides. And I did one I. When I did twice. [00:13:23] Speaker C: Really? [00:13:24] Speaker A: Yes. [00:13:24] Speaker C: Oh, did all three of your little minions ride? [00:13:27] Speaker A: No. No. So I didn't take my oldest, so my oldest went with me to Puerto Vallarta. I Kind of did it as a. A. A vacation for her graduation for her ke cuz I never keenza for her. And I told him did her mom do for any. [00:13:43] Speaker C: Listening is listening. Akinse in our Latin American culture is equivalent to a sweet 16. And essentially you go and you. It's. It's a cotillion. It's a sweet 16. It's. You're. You're essentially showing off your, your. Your female child and saying she is now a woman. And this tradition essentially started long, long ago. And it was to show her to the, to the local community you were a part of so she can marry some rich man that had a ranch or a house or whatever and what they can provide. And you're saying she's ready. But now it's become more of a. Hey Look, I'm turning 15. [00:14:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:22] Speaker C: So it's a sweet 16 type ordeal and that's what that is. And it's, it's not everyone does it anymore. It's more of a. It depends on the family. Family and the type of traditions that they hold. Did your wife do one for. [00:14:34] Speaker A: No, she didn't. [00:14:35] Speaker C: No. [00:14:36] Speaker A: Ex wife. [00:14:37] Speaker C: Ex wife. Ex W. My bad, dude. Dude. Sorry. [00:14:41] Speaker A: No problem. [00:14:42] Speaker C: This man is single and ready to mingle. He's a tourist, likes to share nachos, long walks on the beach, and he's an adventurer. And now he looks 20 years younger for all you listeners. So you went to. So you were saying you went to her. [00:14:57] Speaker A: So I invited her, you know, and, and we went down to, to Mexico. We. We had fun, you know, we, you know, stayed at the beach. We went riding through the jungle on razors, went to a waterfall, went to this little place called Los Calatas, which is like, like a little adventure park or whatever. And I did some snorkeling and we swam out, got. Got stung by small jellyfish. [00:15:23] Speaker C: Oh, dude. How was that? [00:15:24] Speaker A: Oh, it was an experience. [00:15:27] Speaker C: Did you pee, did you pee on your bites? [00:15:29] Speaker A: No, and actually I looked that up and it's funny you say that because I was like, I wonder how true that is. And I looked it up and I was like, no. Does. Does it work? It's actually war. I think it's warm fluid or warm water that helps you. [00:15:45] Speaker C: Old wives hill has been. Wait, or you were myth busting? [00:15:50] Speaker A: I'm myth busty now. [00:15:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that's more, that's more adequate. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Yes. [00:15:55] Speaker C: And then so you went to six legs and so you took the two. Was it kind of a conclusion of their summer break? [00:16:00] Speaker A: Yes, it was. Because I didn't Since I didn't take them with me, you know, I. I would have taken it with me, but there was another issue. [00:16:06] Speaker C: So were they busting your balls because they couldn't go? [00:16:09] Speaker A: Yes, of course. [00:16:12] Speaker C: Especially the little minion. [00:16:13] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:16:13] Speaker C: She has serious attitude. [00:16:15] Speaker A: She'll tell you, she'll be like, oh, don't believe that. My second minion doesn't. Doesn't have attitude. She was the one that was like that. You went to New York. You didn't take us. You went to Puerto Vallarta. You didn't take us. She's like, so you got to take us next time. And I'm like, well, okay. I said. And she. So she's Right now. She's like, dad, I want to go to New York. I want to go to New York. I said, okay. I said, new York's expensive. I said, so let's do this. I said, we'll do a four day getaway. I said, actually, I said, two day, three days, I think. And she said, no, let's make it four days. She said, yeah. [00:16:50] Speaker C: Disposable income. Kaching. Kaching. [00:16:53] Speaker A: So, you know, so yeah, so I'm gonna. I. I told him, I said, you know what, we should do it for the same exact time I went last year in December. We'll go, we'll go up there and hang out over there. [00:17:03] Speaker C: You know, it seems like you've been on a lot of adventures and you went to. So you went to Six Flags. What'd you do at Six Flags other than the roller coasters? [00:17:12] Speaker A: I rode roller coasters. I. I did a little bit of shop, ate some food. Food was actually not too bad. It was pretty good. [00:17:20] Speaker C: Yeah, they. They really upped their, their quality of things. Quality of life within that park. [00:17:25] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:25] Speaker C: The company that took over, they really emphasize a better client experience because it had run. It had started to get run down over time. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Yes. [00:17:33] Speaker C: And now it's. No, it's coming back up. It's picking back up as far as quality. Yeah. [00:17:37] Speaker A: Is it. Because I noticed that some of the areas in Magic Mountain that I remember as a kid looked very unkept. Like, I was just like, what is going on here? Because I don't know if you heard that they. They're saying they're closing two parks or something like that. And there's a rumor that that's one of them. Magic Mountain is one of them. [00:17:57] Speaker C: But really? [00:17:58] Speaker A: Yes. And they're saying 20, 27. [00:18:00] Speaker C: Did you hang out at all in California outside of going to Magic Mountain? Did you like go Anywhere. [00:18:05] Speaker A: No, no, it was kind of quick. It was, it was, it was quick. It was just that one day. I actually drove down there that day and drove back that night. [00:18:14] Speaker C: Jesus, you are dedicated, sir. Well, you saved yourself on lodging, right? So like, that's ultimately the goal. And it's, it's a three hour drive [00:18:23] Speaker A: there, it's a four hour drive and [00:18:26] Speaker C: then a four hour drive back. [00:18:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:18:27] Speaker C: And so. No, I get it because I called you middle of the week. [00:18:30] Speaker A: Yes. [00:18:30] Speaker C: And you're like, hey, I'm in California. I was like, what the hell, dude? It's Tuesday, right? What are you doing? [00:18:38] Speaker A: It's kind of strange. You never miss work. [00:18:40] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. Because you're a dedicated individual. But I'm glad you and, and your minions had fun. Ultimately, it was just kind of to remind you that we have this going on. [00:18:51] Speaker A: Yes. [00:18:51] Speaker C: Let's get this done. [00:18:52] Speaker A: Oh, yes. I wasn't forgetting. Forgetting it. [00:18:53] Speaker C: Let's, let's, let's. Because dude, this, it feels, it doesn't feel the same when you're not here. Yeah, I love Belante. [00:18:59] Speaker A: I appreciate that. [00:19:00] Speaker C: I love our guest appearances of people and this and that, but ultimately this was a you and me thing. [00:19:06] Speaker A: Right. [00:19:06] Speaker C: I don't know how many times I have to remind you that like, this is, this is what started it all. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:10] Speaker C: Because we used to do this at the wrong time during working hours. [00:19:14] Speaker A: Right, right, we did. Always. [00:19:17] Speaker C: And it's like, hey, bro, I think we've been talking for like three hours. No way. [00:19:20] Speaker A: And you're like, just have to go, I gotta go to work tomorrow. [00:19:22] Speaker C: You're like, I gotta leave. And I was like, dude, I'm still, I still gotta work, like, you know, but it's freaked out and I, I have fun. And I wanted to make sure that I could spend some time with my buddy and we can do this. Now let's get on to the topic. [00:19:35] Speaker A: Anime. [00:19:38] Speaker C: So when you listen to the last episode, you heard what my pick for anime was? [00:19:43] Speaker A: Yes. [00:19:43] Speaker C: What was it? [00:19:44] Speaker A: It was. Is it list D? I initially initial D. It was Robotech. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Right, that's right. You did say you mentioned Robotech. [00:19:56] Speaker C: Yes. So Robotech, what do you. Have you ever watched? [00:20:00] Speaker A: So as a kid I watched it, but I don't remember it. And I've like, I think like two years ago I tried to re watch it. I watched a couple episodes. It was, it was actually really good, dude. Really good. [00:20:12] Speaker C: It holds up. [00:20:13] Speaker A: It does. [00:20:14] Speaker C: To, to time. [00:20:15] Speaker A: It does. [00:20:15] Speaker C: And so I was trying to, I Think Belante started watching them? [00:20:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:19] Speaker C: I was watching the anime he talked about where the. The. The man turns into part monster, and he's part monster, part. Oh, I can't remember the name right now, so I don't want to butcher it. But that show, Cream Meow. And so I had to stop watching it. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Really? [00:20:37] Speaker C: Yeah. It's like. And the thing is, like, I don't know if it messed with my head, like, because. So for me, it. The symbolicism. Right. We all have our own demons. We battle every day. But what if those demons came out? What if. What if your demons overpower who you are as a human? [00:20:56] Speaker A: So is that. Is that basically what. [00:20:58] Speaker C: No, no, no. But that's the way I saw it. [00:21:00] Speaker A: Oh, Kaiju ate. [00:21:03] Speaker C: Yeah. And so think about it, like, now looking at it from a symbolic standpoint. It's like, we all. We all have demons. We're not perfect. Who said it best? Frank Miller's Batman. Like, we're gonna. We're gonna. We're gonna put some of our geekness in here. [00:21:17] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:17] Speaker C: Frank Miller's Batman. What's the best thing about that Batman? Do you remember Frank Miller's Batman? [00:21:23] Speaker A: Vaguely. But what I loved about that was, it was very dark and gritty. Very. [00:21:30] Speaker C: Jeez. Dark and gritty is perfect. [00:21:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:32] Speaker C: Because what it did is. It humanized him. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Yes. [00:21:35] Speaker C: He was a father, and he had. He's like, why the. Am I doing all this? Like, what. What is the point of this? Like, am I really making the world a better place? Or am I just finding these fights and. And creating these battles for myself? Should I just be worried about my family? That Batman is the most tormented Batman? I feel out of all the different Batmans we've had over our lifetimes, it's my. That's why I have that statue. Yeah. Because every day he questions it felt like. Right. He just. Like, he was. And it wasn't. I'm not saying it was emo Batman. Kind of like the Robert Pattinson Batman. It was more. It was. [00:22:10] Speaker A: It was a more mature, older Batman [00:22:13] Speaker C: because he's like, what is my legacy? Because it can't be Batman, because Wayne. But what am I doing as Bruce Wayne? And so I was like. And. And so watching the first part of this show, like, the first episode, I was like, dude, there's bigger questions on that. That this is kind of imposing in myself as a human. And I'm like, man, because we all battle our demons. That's. And that's. And so it was. It was good. So. And. But back to Robotech, which is a lot. It's fun, right? Yes, it is still a fun. Yes, it's a fun thing to watch. [00:22:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:42] Speaker C: Because you can show it to your kids and they're like, it's entertaining. [00:22:45] Speaker A: So I've been wanting to watch it. I think I, I have to go back and, and continue watching that show. I picked up some comic books. They, like a year or two ago, they released a whole set of comics for Robotech. [00:22:57] Speaker C: And you didn't get me a set. [00:22:59] Speaker A: I didn't even know you were big on Robotech. And, and so again, I don't remember the whole story again. I started rewatching it because as I watched it as a kid, I was like 5 years old when I watched it, so I don't remember everything about it, but I remember Robotech. It was so big. I think there was a game they dropped for PS2. I got it and I started playing it, but it was like, so hard. [00:23:21] Speaker C: It is a lot of those games that were made like by Sega and those Japanese developers were incredibly difficult because they're not meant for the, they're not meant for the home console. They're meant for the arcade. [00:23:30] Speaker A: Is that what it is? [00:23:31] Speaker C: That's what it is. Because they're meant for you to have actual controls or an actual, like, animal, like a big analog signal. [00:23:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:38] Speaker C: And they're not meant for you to go left. Right, Right. You know, whatever. [00:23:42] Speaker A: I wonder if I got a big controller, like a panel. [00:23:45] Speaker C: It would make it easier. Most definitely. And, and that's a big thing for them. Like, Sega was notorious. There was a, I don't know if you ever played the game Vanquish. [00:23:53] Speaker A: No, really good. [00:23:55] Speaker C: Really good. It had all the mechanics of a modern third person shooter. [00:24:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:00] Speaker C: But it had first person shooter elements. [00:24:02] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:24:03] Speaker C: And it was intense. But that game was meant for the arcade. So when you play it on your, on your game system, all these explosions, all these things, you're just like, what? Like, this is intense. It's not meant for your home cost. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Oh, okay, that makes sense. [00:24:16] Speaker C: So it's, and it's common. And Robotech, I remember seeing them have that. That game's now like 75, by the way. Still. [00:24:22] Speaker A: Is it? [00:24:22] Speaker C: Yeah, it still holds. [00:24:23] Speaker A: Wow. I still, I still have it. [00:24:25] Speaker C: What? [00:24:25] Speaker A: I still have it. [00:24:26] Speaker C: Hey, you've missed my Christmas two years in a row. [00:24:31] Speaker A: Well, you know what? I, I, I, I'll gift it to you then. [00:24:34] Speaker C: Yeah. I'll put it inside of the retro shelf that I have in there. I wouldn't even play It. It'd be displayed proudly. I. I'd get an acrylic case, right? Yeah, yeah. It's. Robotech is one of just those things for me. And like I said in the last episode, it was. Because it was. It was played in a certain time frame of the day. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:50] Speaker C: Where I got to see Quantum Leap, the initial Star Trek, the first 16 episodes, and then Robotech, they played simultaneously on Sci Fi. [00:24:57] Speaker A: We're talking about Star Trek, Next Generation, Star Trek. [00:25:00] Speaker C: That. The original. Original 16 episodes. The. The first 16. [00:25:04] Speaker A: Oh, oh. [00:25:05] Speaker C: Play them on loop. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Oh, oh, you're talking about the original Star Trek. [00:25:09] Speaker C: That. That was my exposure. Yeah. Dude. Dude, it was good. [00:25:12] Speaker A: Oh, my God. You know, I had. As a kid. I've seen it. Right. But don't remember anything about these shows. So recently, in the last year, year and a half, I've been watching the original Star Trek, and it's definitely outdated. Like, you know, you know, the sets and everything look outdated. The I. But the ideas are just so ahead of the of time. [00:25:34] Speaker C: Like, I love Gene Rod and Mary's view on life. [00:25:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:38] Speaker C: Where he was just like. He wasn't about, like. You didn't see Captain Kurt go out there to go beat someone up. [00:25:44] Speaker A: Right. [00:25:44] Speaker C: He wasn't your alpha male. He was a romantic. He was like Pepe Le Pew on steroids. [00:25:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Yes, he was. Yeah. [00:25:51] Speaker C: He was in it for, you know, know, the tail, bro. And it was one of those things. [00:25:56] Speaker A: Don't. Don't doubt that he was a badass captain, though. He was. [00:26:00] Speaker C: When he needed to be. [00:26:00] Speaker A: When he needed to be. Yes. [00:26:02] Speaker C: It was just like his view. Gene Roddenberry was like, we're out there to explore. We're out there. Discovery is the next. Is the next frontier. [00:26:08] Speaker A: Right. Yes. [00:26:09] Speaker C: It's not. It's not taking over things. And so. [00:26:11] Speaker A: Right. [00:26:12] Speaker C: Even that message now resonates. Right. Yes. And that's why those original 16. I love them. They. They. They have a special, special place in my heart. Right. Going back to Robotech. Robotech. Good. You enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. So what's your anime? [00:26:27] Speaker A: My anime. I'm gonna say that my anime Is Dragon Ball Z or not? Not Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball. And the reason I say that is for the listeners. [00:26:36] Speaker C: Please clarify, what's the difference between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z? [00:26:39] Speaker A: So the difference between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z is. Dragon Ball was the original Dragon Ball. It was actually dropped, I think, in 1980. 1985. Dragon Ball Z was premiered in, like, 91 or 92. So Dragon Ball is The origin story for Goku. And it is such a good story. So good. So good. [00:26:59] Speaker C: Did you. You're coming from California? [00:27:01] Speaker A: Yes. [00:27:01] Speaker C: So did you watch it On Cake Hill 9? [00:27:03] Speaker A: No. [00:27:04] Speaker C: Oh, okay. I was just like. Because that was my big complaint in the last episode is that, like, it was never in order. [00:27:09] Speaker A: Oh, it never was. [00:27:11] Speaker C: No, it was. So anything on K9 was out of order unless it was a Lakers game. So I was so frustrated because they. They had a certain time in the day where they played cartoons and you never got it. It was never a sequence really. [00:27:25] Speaker A: And it was. [00:27:25] Speaker C: Well, and. And like at that age, you know, having a Latin American background, all I had to reference you is, you know, all the Spanish channels because. And. And they're so organized and meticulous about organization and telling you what. What's coming up, what movies you're going to be playing, all this, right? [00:27:40] Speaker A: Yes, they did. [00:27:40] Speaker C: So for me, it was. It created chaos because I already have OCD as it is. And I was like, why would they do this, right? As. As a 7, 8 year old, I take notes and say, this happened here. And then that way when they did, I'm like, oh, my God, here's. Here's my note from this. This is what. This is what they're coming back to. And then my. My little sister was like, look at me. Like, you're nuts, bro. Like, maybe that's. [00:28:02] Speaker A: Dude, you're like, very organized and extremely. [00:28:04] Speaker C: It's bad. [00:28:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow, that's crazy. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have even taken notes. [00:28:09] Speaker C: Well, no, it's because I would. I would make like a little scent. It wasn't even like detail notes. It was literally like a sentence. Goku dies. Or Goku looks like he's dying, he's getting beat up by, blah, blah, blah. And so it's like on next episode. And then the next episode wasn't that they showed like an original Dragon Ball episode or something, right. And so I'd wait. And I don't know if it was because the programmer was on something or it was. It was purposely done because we're in California, right? Or. Or it was done on purpose because they didn't want to. They didn't want to create that consistency because it wasn't that important to them. They just needed to fill that time slot, you know? [00:28:44] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, it was. It was filler, basically. And. [00:28:47] Speaker C: And unless you were like on Fox, where they had an hour that was dedicated for children, or two hours and you were watching like Power Rangers series and Digimon or you're on WB and you're watching, you know, the Animaniacs and stuff online. Was that bastard child. [00:29:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:03] Speaker C: That got the leftovers. And they're like, nobody's watching this. Little do they know in my. As I got older, I was like, they did that on purpose. And so. But you saw Dragon Ball, so. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Dragon Ball. The reason why is. [00:29:18] Speaker C: When did GT happen? [00:29:21] Speaker A: You know, I don't know. I've never seen gt. [00:29:23] Speaker C: Yeah. So I have a lot of friends that are really into gt. [00:29:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:26] Speaker C: I'm just like, bro, you have me a Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Everything after that. [00:29:31] Speaker A: Dragon Ball super is really good. [00:29:33] Speaker C: Is it? Yes. Dude. So which was the one that has the finale? Because I know they did the finale in the theater and they did, they did a, what is it? An international release of the final episode where people celebrated it? [00:29:46] Speaker A: I don't know. No, I never, I didn't hear about that. [00:29:49] Speaker C: No. [00:29:50] Speaker A: But no, it's because see, I, I, I recently started getting into Dragon Ball some. My, my ex brother in law. Oh. Huge Dragon Ball fan. Huge. And he would always talk about it and he was always telling me about it and he was like, always just like anytime like he got with like we got together, he'd be talking about something about Goku. And I'm like. And I was so lost. So, so lost. Like in all the conversations. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Dude, don't worry. A lot of this stuff that has, that's been around for 20 plus years, it's hard to keep up. It's like just to relate it to another subject. Like wrestling. Wrestling. There's, there's certain eras in wrestling that people are into there. It's really hard to find the person that's been into wrestling for the last 25 years. [00:30:33] Speaker A: Right. [00:30:34] Speaker C: And those people will nitpick at the portion that you're in and you enjoy and they're like, you're getting this wrong. It was actually 2pm and it's like, whoa, whoa. Dude. I'm not right. I just remember the, the match or whatever it might be like. And that's the thing. Same thing with like something like Dragon Ball. [00:30:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:50] Speaker C: Has so many types of fans. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Right. [00:30:53] Speaker C: You can't really say I love all Dragon Ball because it's really difficult to follow it unless you've been dedicated. [00:30:59] Speaker A: Yes. So it took me about a month and a half and I went through the whole, the whole series. It was my first time watching Dragon Ball. [00:31:09] Speaker C: You went through the whole series? How many episodes is that? [00:31:12] Speaker A: Jeez. I think Dragon Ball is only about 150something episodes. [00:31:17] Speaker C: That's a lot. What, like 28 minutes an episode? [00:31:20] Speaker A: Yes. About 22 minutes per episode. Yeah, about 22 minutes per episode. [00:31:26] Speaker C: It's okay. I heard One Piece has like a thousand episodes. [00:31:29] Speaker A: Yes, I tried, I've tried watching that. [00:31:31] Speaker C: I can't. [00:31:31] Speaker A: And I'm like, I don't know if I want to do that. So it's 153 episodes. [00:31:35] Speaker C: Okay. 153 episodes. [00:31:36] Speaker A: Yes. And then after I watched that, I, I watched Dragon Ball Z. I jumped right into Dragon Ball Z, and that was 291 episodes. [00:31:44] Speaker C: Holy bananas, bro. [00:31:45] Speaker A: And I watched that whole thing. I, I don't know if it took me like, two months to watch that, but I was, I was watching it, like, and, and I have to say it, it holds up. Like, the story is so good. [00:31:56] Speaker C: My, my quip with Dragon Ball has always been the fact that Goku's an idiot. Like, he has, to me, he doesn't have enough substance as a lead character. And he's, he's your typical alpha male. And we, you heard the last episode we talked about. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Yes, yes. [00:32:12] Speaker C: I, I, I, I like the main character to have a bit of, not only a level of intelligence, but, like, quirkiness. That, that hunger for, for discovery. That, that ability to learn, make things better. Make things better around them without, without like, being so blunt about it. Goku was like, I just saved you. [00:32:33] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, kiss my feet. [00:32:35] Speaker C: You know, it's like, dude, like, I get it. [00:32:38] Speaker A: But he wasn't, he wasn't completely like that. If I like the way I see it, he, he was always growing, but in a different way. Like, it was always, like, talking about in his pants. [00:32:49] Speaker C: Weirdo. [00:32:49] Speaker A: No, I don't even, I don't even [00:32:51] Speaker C: think it was like that. [00:32:51] Speaker A: It was more like it was the. I want to be better in the sense of, like, the martial arts aspect, you know? Like, he always wanted to be better, a better fighter. And it wasn't because he wanted to just go and beat everybody up. He just, he just had fun with it. Right? Like, it was like, oh, you guys want to spar? Let's go spar. Come on, let's go. Let's go. Have fun. That was, that was his fun, right? I mean, ultimately, yeah, you're right about him just being only about fighting. [00:33:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:21] Speaker A: But he was like the ultimate Bruce Lee, right? [00:33:23] Speaker C: Yeah. And I can see where it's relatable to so many people. [00:33:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:27] Speaker C: Like, for. But it's not like you said, it's not everybody's cup of tea. [00:33:31] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:33:32] Speaker C: I enjoyed it. The episodes I was able to watch out of order. [00:33:34] Speaker A: Yes. [00:33:35] Speaker C: And I was like, this is so cool. Because also, it was a filler for me. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Right. [00:33:39] Speaker C: I did enjoy watching the Lakers game, so I was like, oh, cool. This is a on. And I enjoyed so many other things. So Dragon Ball, you watched a lot of episodes. If you can get a message from watching this anime. And, and there's something that you'd say that it's reflective. Like, we just talked about Kaiju Number eight and what I started to see in the first episode. Is there something you saw in all those episodes that you kind of like? And you're like, you know what? This, this actually has a decent message. Or this, this kind of is reflective of me. Or there's something that you read beyond what we, you can visually see. [00:34:10] Speaker A: I, I don't know that I necessarily saw that necessarily, but actually I, I would say that yes, in a sense, yes. There's one thing that there was. There's one quality that, that Goku has, and it's all the people that he fights against end up becoming his friends. Majority of them, not all of them, but the majority of them. Hifa. Vegeta. Right? They became friends, right? Even though Vegeta's always hated him. [00:34:38] Speaker C: He's my dude, bro. [00:34:38] Speaker A: And, and Vegeta's always like, like, oh, I gotta be better than this guy. Right. But in the end, they're still, they're still friends. They still get along. Who was another one that he befriended? He befriended? Ah, geez, I can't remember. Oh, I think it was also Majin Buu. Is it Majin Buu? [00:34:56] Speaker C: That's. I can't pronounce some of that names. Yeah. Complete transparency, right? [00:35:00] Speaker A: Sort of. [00:35:02] Speaker C: I, I was like when we were talking about initial D. Yeah. I just, I hate, I hate saying the actual name. I just like saying like main character. Yeah. Because some of them are really long. [00:35:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:11] Speaker C: And so I'm like. [00:35:12] Speaker A: And then Piccolo, Piccolo, Remember, Piccolo was, was a complete villain. And then. And he becomes his friend, like one of his best friends. [00:35:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:20] Speaker A: So that was like one of the qualities I think that he had that I know I, I, I admire. You know, somebody who can easily come and just. That's something that, that Goku does have. [00:35:29] Speaker C: Don't let your past define you. Make a new future. [00:35:32] Speaker A: Right? [00:35:32] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:35:33] Speaker A: Basically. [00:35:34] Speaker C: Yeah. Dude. No, and it's great because you did listen to our first episode. Is there something you took away where you're like, oh, I got to watch this. Or is there like. [00:35:42] Speaker A: Oh, there was plenty. I think I. I put almost everything that you guys talked about on. On my list. Yes. Here, let me. Let me pull it up real quick. [00:35:51] Speaker C: Do it, do it. I'm glad, dude. I felt like it wasn't. That episode ran for almost two hours, and it was cut down to the 48 minutes or 4850 minutes that. That I was able to post. It was so long. [00:36:05] Speaker A: We. [00:36:05] Speaker C: We. There's some things that I didn't even add into the actual recording. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So you guys talked. Balanti talked about mob cycles 100. Put that on my list. Kaiju number. Number 8. Put that on my list. And then you were talking about initial D. Initial D. Initial D. Yes. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Initial line. [00:36:23] Speaker A: And I want to see it now because you were, you know, you were talking about the whole culture back then about, you know, the racing cars and all that. So I'm like, oh, look, that. That actually looks pretty cool. [00:36:32] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. Yeah. So I think that appeals kind of to our youth when we were kids. Like, the imports became hot. Like, the had import tuner, the magazine, they had hot import nights that traveled the US and everybody wanted a Honda or Mitsubishi. Growing up in California, that was. That was the thing, if you wanted. And so I. It was. It was kind of a culture thing. [00:36:56] Speaker A: Right. [00:36:56] Speaker C: And then Fast and the Furious and all that thing. And it. It was getting. It was getting exposed. [00:37:01] Speaker A: It was. [00:37:01] Speaker C: People were really looking into it. And so that anime tapped in olive, that. [00:37:06] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:07] Speaker C: There's a level of nostalgia. Right. That you get from watching this. You're like, dude, I used to think that stuff was so cool. Now you're old and you're like, I don't want to mess up my car. [00:37:18] Speaker A: I just wanted a little. I just want it to look good. And that's about it. [00:37:21] Speaker C: I like. I like the. The new. The new car you're driving on, the white one. It looks clean. [00:37:25] Speaker A: It looks clean, huh? Yeah. [00:37:26] Speaker C: The tint, it's not legal. [00:37:28] Speaker A: It's not. But you. You know. You know, what's funny is. So I've lived in Nevada 20, 27 years, and I've always had dark tint. And I've never gotten a ticket for it. [00:37:42] Speaker C: No. Because I think. I think local law enforcement knows it's hot. [00:37:46] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:47] Speaker C: And it's not being used to be private. It's being used because you don't want to sit on a hot seat. Right. And be annoyed all day. [00:37:54] Speaker A: Right. [00:37:54] Speaker C: And most of us, like me, especially through. Throughout the summer months. I love wearing shorts. [00:38:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:00] Speaker C: It is one of my things. Because I do not want to be. I don't want to wear pants. It's hot. [00:38:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:05] Speaker C: And I. I already run hot as it is, so, like, especially in the truck. That's why. And I think law enforcement, they're very lenient when it comes to that. [00:38:13] Speaker A: Right. [00:38:14] Speaker C: They. They look the other way. I have seen them stop because I've seen people with extremely dark tint on their windshield. [00:38:21] Speaker A: Oh, yes. Yes. [00:38:22] Speaker C: And I've seen those guys get stopped. [00:38:23] Speaker A: Oh, yes. Because. [00:38:25] Speaker C: Because sometimes, dude, you can't even see me. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't look inside that car. [00:38:31] Speaker C: Just use drywall, bro. You know, like, there's no point to it. Okay, so as you get to the stuff that we. That we watch, shoot us a text. We have a group chat. [00:38:41] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:42] Speaker C: I'm right. [00:38:43] Speaker A: We do. [00:38:43] Speaker C: Yeah. And so, like, I'm like, when I post things on there, it's mostly to just keep the conversation going amongst the three of us. Say. Say something about the episode. Like, talk about it. [00:38:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:38:53] Speaker C: On last episode, I brought up the. The socials. They're 100% monitored all the time. I asked whoever does listen, if they have any suggestions, please reach out to us. Yes, we don't mind covering those topics. As far as your anime list. So I asked you all the same questions that I asked that I asked. [00:39:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:11] Speaker C: And I wanted to kind of just see how you felt about the conversation because in. In. In the back of my mind, I was like, oh, I want to engage with you regarding those topics. Is there anything anime connected that you wanted to bring up? [00:39:24] Speaker A: Yes, there's a. There's actually a few. So. Okay, so Demon Slayer. [00:39:30] Speaker C: Demon Slayer. [00:39:31] Speaker A: Badass show. [00:39:33] Speaker C: It's really popular. [00:39:34] Speaker A: It's so good. So I got into it because of my older daughter. She's into anime, and so she started watching, and I'm like, I'm looking at this thing in this, like, the anim. The animation is so good. And I'm just like, there's this. He's battling, like, a few demons. Right. And I'm just like, oh, my God. Like, I was just in awe, like, of the battles. So I'm like, I gotta start watching this. So I. I went back and watched it. I kind of fell off, and then I just recently finished it, so. So good. You have to watch it. [00:40:04] Speaker C: They had a. They had a cinematic reveal for, like, [00:40:09] Speaker A: for the next movie. [00:40:11] Speaker C: Yeah. Right. For the next or second season or. Is it moving? [00:40:13] Speaker A: No. So it's gonna. So they're gonna end it with three movies. So this next. [00:40:18] Speaker C: So it sounded like a 20 year thing. [00:40:20] Speaker A: No, no, no. So. So it's gonna be the following. The following, I guess episode is actually a movie and it's gonna drop in, I believe in September. It just, it just released in Japan a couple weeks ago. [00:40:30] Speaker C: There was mixed. So. Because I do follow a bunch of the. The like pop culture, social medias. [00:40:36] Speaker A: Yes. [00:40:36] Speaker C: There was a, A plethora of fans that were just annoyed saying that the, the movie that released was just kind of a. A recap of everything that had already happened. Really? Yeah. I don't know. Did you watch it? [00:40:49] Speaker A: No, no, no. Because it hasn't been released yet. [00:40:51] Speaker C: Oh, no. So they did. So they did one movie already. One movie has already released. [00:40:55] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Oh, so let me explain that to you. So what they did was they dropped a movie. They dropped the movie first. Yes. So the movie came out first and I actually missed it. And my daughter had told me about it. She said, she's like, dad, I want to go watch this. And I'm like, oh, okay. Like, let's go watch it. But I never did. I never got the chance to take her. Right. And then once I started getting to the. Into the show, I watched a movie and then I'm like, wait, what's this? What's this season? And I'm like, wait, this is the movie? But there are differences. There are. There are minor differences in the show and, and the movie. I think the show starts with a pre episode before the movie. So there is. [00:41:33] Speaker C: It seems disorganized. [00:41:37] Speaker A: That season. Yes, I will agree. Was kind of. Was kind of disorganized. I don't know why they dropped it as a season because it was already a movie. Maybe just to drop that episode. But that was. That was pretty much it. But everything else is pretty much the same. [00:41:52] Speaker C: Okay, I'm gonna have to watch it then. Because I didn't realize it was so short. I thought they were like, this was the start of some long, like, saga. [00:42:02] Speaker A: No, no, it's not. I don't believe it's going to be long if it, if they do extend it. I wouldn't be surprised, you know, if. Because if, if they do. Well, you know, I'm sure that they're like, oh, let's write some more. [00:42:11] Speaker C: They're like, it's right up our alley. Let's making this money. [00:42:14] Speaker A: So there's that one. Okay. Mushuku Tensei. So Mushuku Tensei is. It's called Mushuku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation. Basically, it's about A guy who's a loser and he ends up dying. When he wakes up, he's a baby. [00:42:31] Speaker C: So, like, boss baby. [00:42:33] Speaker A: Like boss baby. He's aware of everything he remembers. He has all his old memories. [00:42:38] Speaker C: So this taps into something that's. So I'm, I have different beliefs, you know, me, and that's what makes me different. I believe in reincarnation. [00:42:45] Speaker A: Okay. [00:42:47] Speaker C: Do you? [00:42:47] Speaker A: I, I'm an atheist. I don't, I don't believe in anything. [00:42:51] Speaker C: Yeah, no, but I mean, but I've seen you be superstitious or certain things. [00:42:56] Speaker A: No, no. Yes. Yes. [00:42:57] Speaker C: Okay. [00:42:57] Speaker A: Of course. Because it comes with, with a lot of my old beliefs, you know, so [00:43:01] Speaker C: it's a cultural thing. [00:43:02] Speaker A: Right? Right. [00:43:03] Speaker C: Yeah. And so that's why I asked, like, do you, Because I know, I'm not saying religious connection. What I'm saying is, like, do you [00:43:09] Speaker A: like a spiritual connection? [00:43:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you believe in reincarnation? [00:43:12] Speaker A: I, I, I'm going to say this. I, I wouldn't if, if, if it, if it is out there, like, because I've thought about it. I'm like, like, I wonder if, if we die, you know, do we get reincarnated? Like, do we come back? I'm like, some people talk about, you know, living past lives and stuff like that. Like, yeah, like, hey, it's possible. I, I don't know. At this moment, I don't believe in anything. If, if it, if that's what, that's where it leads me to, then that's where it leads me to, you know? Like, I wouldn't be mad about it. [00:43:39] Speaker C: I think that you gotta text me the name. How to, how to pronounce that? Yeah. So I can, so I can watch it. [00:43:45] Speaker A: Yes. [00:43:46] Speaker C: Because I hate traveling. [00:43:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:49] Speaker C: Because I traveled everywhere and so many different cultures say, like, don't, don't do that. Because you might come back as a cockroach. Because, like, when you step on a cockroach or like, or you go and like, don't treat those animals bad. You might come back as an elephant or, hey, hey, don't treat people bad. Or you might come back in their shoes. And so what I feel is, like, there's so much rinse and repeat of that type of message. It might not be that exact, that, that exact delivery, but there's like, little phrases or things that they say even in, in our culture, you know, Like, there's so many words that they use. And so, like, I'm like, okay, cool. If enough people around the world have some belief of this, it's hard not to. Not to be like, you know what. What if it can't happen? Because at some point this has been recorded. And so I'm like, the reincarnation thing. Oh, dude, that gets me. Because I've had my. My own kid wake up in middle night and say some random to me, and she's just like, yeah, we're Polish. And I was like, I'm not. We're not Polish, bro. I like Polish sausage with sausage and peppers, but we're not Polish. She's like, no, we've been to Poland and yada, yada, yada. And you make shoes, daddy. And I'm like, I don't make shoes, bro. [00:45:15] Speaker A: It's like a dream she's having. [00:45:16] Speaker C: Yeah. And so, like, she'll have, like, these vivid. Like, she'll regurgitate these vivid dreams, and I'm just like. And then I'll turn like. I'm like, all right, let's talk about this. You know, we'll talk about it and yada, yada, yada. And I'm like, you know what? There's. There's a sense of react. Like, could this be real? Her energy? Because it's scientific proven. [00:45:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:37] Speaker C: There's an energy that leaves the body when you pass. [00:45:39] Speaker A: Really? Yeah, but. But sometimes it is. I think a lot. A lot of things that we dream are ocular, you know, like we see things we've seen or things we've seen on TV or things. Things we've heard. I think I. I do believe that. I do believe that many times it's things. It's stories that people tell, and so it plays on your psyche. And, yeah, you end up having dreams, you know, because we do hallucinate, like, naturally sometimes, you know, so this could be one of those. Those times, you know? [00:46:07] Speaker C: When are we going to have the podcast? One hour with Dr. Noe. [00:46:12] Speaker A: Hey, we can have it. [00:46:13] Speaker C: Hey, remember I gave you starting recording equipment because you're like, I want to record myself. Yes. [00:46:18] Speaker A: And I do. I still want to do that. And I've been talking to my. My nieces about it. I'm like, hey, I want to do this record, this recording. You know, I want to do this little podcast. And. But it's just the time just never happens, you know? But I think, you know what I'm thinking that I might just do with my kids because it's gonna. It would be interesting to do it with them because they. They don't have a religious background. [00:46:40] Speaker C: Well, yeah, whatever. Whatever it might be, the first step in getting it done is just Starting it. So no matter what it is, whatever the conversation might be, you don't. The best thing is not being prepared. [00:46:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:54] Speaker C: And then just being like. Cuz remember our first episode? [00:46:57] Speaker A: Right, right. We were so unprepared back then. [00:46:59] Speaker C: Yeah. And, and then remember the, the second episode and then the third episode? [00:47:03] Speaker A: Yes. [00:47:04] Speaker C: And then we're like, should we even release the third episode? It's emotionally. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, yes. I, I, Yeah. [00:47:10] Speaker C: And then, but it, over time, it just, it's easier. Right. We sit here and we're like. [00:47:15] Speaker A: It is, it's funny because, you know, you know, thinking about that, it's like I, I think specifically me, I was going through a lot of stuff back then emotionally, and we all were. [00:47:24] Speaker C: Look at, look at all the people and guests we had on the first, on the first three or four episodes. And now look where, look where they're at now. And look where we're at now. [00:47:35] Speaker A: That is so true. [00:47:36] Speaker C: That's all I got to say about that. Like, because I don't, I'm not going to dive into those. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. No. [00:47:41] Speaker C: And, and how, how time really does change things. [00:47:44] Speaker A: Right? It does. [00:47:45] Speaker C: And so I, it's one of those things. But ultimately the best thing. We're still here. We're still together. We're still buddies. [00:47:52] Speaker A: Yes, sir. [00:47:53] Speaker C: We keep, we keep in touch. I, I send you random text. [00:47:55] Speaker A: No. [00:47:56] Speaker C: Yeah, you do. It's now. Now it's a thing. Did you see that? It's a trend now on Tik Tok and, and on and on. In Instagram reels, it'll be people recording themselves texting their friends. [00:48:06] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:48:07] Speaker C: Good night or good morning or I love you or just something random. Yeah, I, I've been doing that. Yeah. Since we were friends. [00:48:14] Speaker A: Right, right, right. [00:48:15] Speaker C: And so, like, I see it now. I'm like, this isn't funny. Like, I always said this. Like, what the hell? [00:48:19] Speaker A: You know, what's funny is it's other people that are still, they still have that. A lot of maybe older ingrained ideas about, like, people. Yeah. Like, like men saying I love you to another. Like other men. But it's so funny because I, like, I, I tell different guys. Like, I'll be like, like, I'm like, hey, man, I love you. Like, you're like my brother. Right? [00:48:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:39] Speaker A: I ran into a friend recently and, you know, we kind of just, we talked for a little bit. You know, it was kind of quick because we were both working and I hadn't seen him in a couple years. And I said, hey, man, I just want you to know I love you. [00:48:51] Speaker C: Because it's one of those things. Right. Life is delicate and the time that we started this, we both lost lots of friends. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Yes. [00:48:59] Speaker C: I feel like I've seen more people die in the last two years than I have my entire life. And it's because we're at that age. [00:49:06] Speaker A: Right. [00:49:06] Speaker C: People are getting sick. You see people at work one day, then you don't see them the next, and you're like, what the. [00:49:13] Speaker A: Right. [00:49:13] Speaker C: And so it just, it's. It's really reflective and you don't ever want to. Like, for me, I value our friendship. [00:49:20] Speaker A: Yes. [00:49:20] Speaker C: It's. It's. It feels tenured, like, you know what I mean? It's like a good bottle of scotch, you know, Right. When we're around each other, we. We start right back where we were at the last time we saw each other. [00:49:31] Speaker A: Right. [00:49:31] Speaker C: It feels so natural, right? With. There's people that you encounter in life that sometimes it doesn't feel so natural, but the people that it does, it. It always feels good to be like, dude, you know, you're loved. You always have a. YouTube can call me anytime. How many times have we called each other? And you're like, we have. I'm like, hey, I need your help. [00:49:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:50] Speaker C: The bon. [00:49:51] Speaker A: Yeah, you show us. [00:49:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:49:53] Speaker C: Or if you're like, hey, Nate and blah, blah, blah, same thing. Because we have that, that's. We're. We're comfortable with each other to where we're like, hey, that's. That's the type of relationship we have. So. [00:50:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:03] Speaker C: You are like a brother. [00:50:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:50:04] Speaker C: You know, my, My entire family knows you. My. My daughter calls you Uncle Noe. I know your kids and we've. We've done a lot of family events together. [00:50:12] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:50:13] Speaker C: So it's natural. So you were saying. So now you have that one. You have the. How do you say? Yeah. [00:50:19] Speaker A: Yeah. So, so basically he becomes. He doesn't waste this life. Like he realizes that he's a baby, he's mad about it, but ultimately he grows with it and becomes smarter. And he. He's so ahead of like everybody, like all the other children. Cuz he can read. Not only that, he. [00:50:40] Speaker C: Is this on Crunchyroll? [00:50:41] Speaker A: This is on Crunchyroll. [00:50:42] Speaker C: Is that the only place you can watch it? [00:50:44] Speaker A: I believe so, yes. [00:50:45] Speaker C: You really need to text me that name. Okay. [00:50:48] Speaker A: And yeah, so basically, like this life, he. He lives it differently. He learns, he grows, he makes friends. His previous life, he had wasted it. You know, he was by himself all the time. Time. And yeah, like, it's. It's a really, really good show. Really good show. [00:51:05] Speaker C: And then. So those are your top two recommendations for. [00:51:08] Speaker A: There's. There's those two. And then there is Dandan, which is recently dropped. Such a good show because it goes away. [00:51:17] Speaker C: It sounds like Carlos Mancias. Say that again. What is it called? [00:51:22] Speaker A: Dan To Dan. And that's on Netflix. You could watch that on Netflix. Yeah. If you don't have Crunchyroll. [00:51:26] Speaker C: Okay. [00:51:27] Speaker A: Yeah, it's on Crunchyroll and it's on Netflix. So Danderdan kind of steps away from your regular anime where, you know, you're always battling demons and stuff like that, Right. In this one, they're battling ghosts and UFOs. Yes. [00:51:41] Speaker C: Really? [00:51:42] Speaker A: Yes. And it's so well written. You would. I think you would love it. [00:51:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I really want to watch K Pop Demon Slayers. I heard. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Demonstrate. I haven't. [00:51:50] Speaker C: So that's a Netflix anime. [00:51:51] Speaker A: Really? [00:51:52] Speaker C: Yeah. And dude, it's getting graver reviews. It's showing up everywhere. Okay, I'm intrigued. I'll give it a try. You know me, I don't turn anything away. [00:52:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:01] Speaker C: I have a very open mind. [00:52:02] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:03] Speaker C: I. I enjoy all types of entertainment. And ultimately, if it's heralded, I'm gonna. I want. I want to see what. What. What the big thing is. And then I know sometimes I overanalyze it and I don't just enjoy it for what it is, but then I do have that. That sort. That type of entertainment that I do enjoy for what it is is like Happy Gilmore too. Highly recommended. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Really? I haven't seen it yet. [00:52:23] Speaker C: So funny. [00:52:24] Speaker A: Really? [00:52:24] Speaker C: Okay. It's gonna hit all the nostalgia bones in your. In. In your body. Okay. And so, so Danidan Dan. [00:52:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:30] Speaker C: And it doesn't follow your typical. And so you're saying it's kind of like a. What kind of story? [00:52:37] Speaker A: It's. It's a story that follows a young man who. Who is. Who. Who's like, quiet. He's, you know, he's. He's very reserved. You know, he doesn't make a lot of friends because he believes in UFOs. And, you know, people might think he's crazy. He's even carrying a magazine, you know, where. About UFOs. And so he meets this girl. [00:52:59] Speaker C: All right, all right. You're revealing too much. I'm just gonna watch it. Okay. UFOs then. Then like that. [00:53:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:53:04] Speaker C: And your next one. [00:53:05] Speaker A: And my next one will be. Okay, it was a Tokyo Ghoul, so Google is a little bit older. Tokyo's actually a really good show. Those are. I think those are the ones, the. The four shows that I love the most. I've watched. I've watched Jujutsu Kaisen. It's a great show, too, but I'm. [00:53:23] Speaker C: That just seems so hard to pronounce. Yeah. Yeah. [00:53:29] Speaker A: And I have tried watching One Piece, but that one's a little. A little tough to watch. But just, you know, like, thinking about the amount of episodes. Episodes, I think. [00:53:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Well. And it also has, like, a hardcore following. [00:53:40] Speaker A: It does. [00:53:41] Speaker C: Much larger than I. I think. Like, I even thought, like, I looked it up, and you could just see there's so many. Just different blogs, reddits, and people are like, no, you need to watch this first and then go back to this in order to make this connect, because then it'll make more sense. And I'm just like, that's so much effort. But then I look at me being, you know, a fanboy of, like, Star wars, and we have our own way of watching Star wars because it's not. You know, there's a certain way that if you watch Star wars, you don't have to watch the Clone Wars. [00:54:12] Speaker A: Is there? [00:54:12] Speaker C: Yeah. And so I'll send you that. There's a video that kind of explains. [00:54:17] Speaker A: Really. [00:54:17] Speaker C: I think the Clone wars is probably the stupidest one. [00:54:20] Speaker A: You're talking about the whole. The whole show or the. The movie? [00:54:23] Speaker C: No, the movie. [00:54:24] Speaker A: The movie. The Clone Wars. [00:54:24] Speaker C: Okay. And so, like. And then there's a way to include the series and for all the new relevant material. So, like, I get that part, but it just feels like one piece has way too many. [00:54:34] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:54:35] Speaker C: And it just. It feels more like a task than something. [00:54:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:39] Speaker C: I feel bad. And it's like, oh, man. [00:54:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:42] Speaker C: Because if you're not. If you're not going into it for any of these things with the right mindset, you're gonna fall asleep. [00:54:47] Speaker A: Right. [00:54:47] Speaker C: And it's mostly gonna be in the couch, and you're gonna be like, I have to watch. [00:54:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:51] Speaker C: Four hours of this again. You know? And it. It's. It doesn't become something that you want to be invested in. It becomes rigorous. [00:54:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:59] Speaker C: All right, man. So we're coming to the close of the episode. We've been recording for an hour and two minutes. [00:55:06] Speaker A: Okay. [00:55:06] Speaker C: Time flies. [00:55:07] Speaker A: It does. Yeah. [00:55:09] Speaker C: And. And ultimately, that's why we do this. We got a pretty good amount of content. [00:55:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:55:13] Speaker C: I think you'll be happy with it. [00:55:15] Speaker A: Yes. [00:55:15] Speaker C: I'm glad that you can. You came and we got to do this, and I Do want to ask your opinion? What do you think of the shouting out local businesses? [00:55:23] Speaker A: I think that's, that's perfect. I mean, I think it's a good thing to help out local businesses. I mean, yeah, it's. It's good to, to help out people and put, put their content out there, you know, for people to go and visit and, and check them out. [00:55:36] Speaker C: And our social media person has been tagging them in, like when we release an episode. [00:55:41] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:55:41] Speaker C: To kind of let them know, like, this is who we are and this is what we did. We just. Besides, it was a pizza. Pizza rustica pizzeria, which is off of Tropicana. Or is it Flamingo? But she's great. She does. So what she does is she. She's an engineer and she created a filtration system inside of her shop that filters the water like 12 different ways so she can get it the right consistency so it tastes just like New York style paint pizza. Oh, I swear to God. So instead of an office, she has an office in the building. It's a filtration system really. And everything's handmade. [00:56:19] Speaker A: Wow. [00:56:19] Speaker C: So I kind of wanted to. She didn't really say any of that in her little snippet. But I. I shout out to Ms. Yolanda, take the girls there. [00:56:28] Speaker A: Okay. [00:56:28] Speaker C: It's. Everything's handmade from the sauce. Yeah. [00:56:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:56:33] Speaker C: I'm telling you right now, dude, because I know, I know the girls like pizza. [00:56:36] Speaker A: Yes. [00:56:37] Speaker C: We've had pizza at Amazing. Remember? Oh, yes, yes. Uncle Nate brought a pizza from 7 11. [00:56:43] Speaker A: Remember that? [00:56:44] Speaker C: We were those people. [00:56:45] Speaker A: It's cuz. [00:56:45] Speaker C: It's. It's also because he was a jerk and he didn't have any vendors for food there, remember? And the girls. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Huh? [00:56:52] Speaker C: No. And the girls were like, we're hungry. [00:56:53] Speaker A: Yeah, they were. [00:56:54] Speaker C: And I was like, I'll walk, bro. And it was. And it was all the way. [00:56:57] Speaker A: I appreciate you, man. [00:56:58] Speaker C: It was in west hall that year. And I walk from west hall way to south hall to the back of south hall to go get it. Remember? [00:57:04] Speaker A: Oh my God. [00:57:06] Speaker C: In this heat? [00:57:06] Speaker A: Yes. [00:57:07] Speaker C: And I was like, this guy's a. [00:57:09] Speaker A: Did you take the Tesla? [00:57:10] Speaker C: No, dude. [00:57:11] Speaker A: You did. [00:57:11] Speaker C: It was closed, remember? Because they were fixing. They were fixing South Hall. [00:57:14] Speaker A: Oh, they were. [00:57:15] Speaker C: Remember? They were reconstructing. That's why it wasn't. [00:57:17] Speaker A: It's weird because I took. I took the Tesla on during that show. [00:57:20] Speaker C: Oh. [00:57:21] Speaker A: And I took it to, To South Hall. [00:57:23] Speaker C: I know it was closed when I left to go get pizza. Really? Yeah. That's Why? I thought. And because. And I was like, oh, it's. It's. It's evident because they were working. Remember that they were renovating all south hall during that season, during that time. And I was just like. But that guy, I was like, this dude's a complete dirtback. No food, no concessions. We're bringing kids to this stuff, you know, and they can't even have a Slurpee stand. Like, sounds right. But. So. Yeah. So I'm glad you like those. Those snippets. It. It. To me, it's one of those things. It's a thing of pride. Right. We live here. Let's. Let's. Let's lift somebody up. [00:57:56] Speaker A: Yes.
