1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Good ass intro plays.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,920
And then I say, welcome to show Joe.

3
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,480
I am your host, Sarah, joined by my friend, Joe.

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:33,480
And every week we cover episodes of a show Joe anime podcast, the genre that is typically

5
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,320
targeting a young female audience.

6
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:44,320
So our macho man Joe here was not the target demographic and has not seen these, but I have.

7
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,120
And so I am showing Joe show Joe.

8
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,480
And that's our podcast here.

9
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,920
Joe, what have you been up to since the last spoke?

10
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,400
Can you imagine if we reviewed podcast episodes?

11
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Do I say that?

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,760
Yeah, you just say that.

13
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,760
Shit.

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,760
Fuck.

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,760
It was just funny.

16
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,360
No, no, no, I think people know what we do.

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,600
It's just that was funny.

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Like just this week we review episode of the daily or whatever.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Yeah, crap.

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Like react.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,480
That's like react culture.

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,480
You know what I mean?

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,480
How the entire YouTube channels of people reacting to other people's YouTube videos.

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,480
Yeah.

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Yeah.

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Yeah.

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,480
That's the whole thing.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,480
Me and OK.

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,000
Well, I feel like that it wasn't too bad of an intro.

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,960
No, no, no, no, no, no, we're still going.

31
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:40,120
This is the live take.

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,120
Okay.

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Yes.

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,120
We are not a react channel.

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,400
Actually, we kind of are right because I guess we're like, we're recap.

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,400
We recap.

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,000
Well, we also provide some analysis and our thoughts and opinions.

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,880
We're not just solely like a summarization.

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,880
We're not the one.

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Does anyone just do that?

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Okay.

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Sometimes I've listened to some things being like, we're going to we're going to do an

43
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,400
analysis of something and they just give a summary and that's it.

44
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Oh, that's not analyzing it.

45
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,400
That's just I know.

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,400
I know.

47
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,400
It's to me.

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,440
I've tried to find like anime analysis of things of like, I'm like, watch this show

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,040
and I want to see what people are talking about.

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,840
And it's just a recap and I'm like, cool.

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,880
Thanks for the recap of the thing I'm already familiar with.

52
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,880
This happens.

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Yeah.

54
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:28,400
I'm really wishing you had agreed to do the Love Island Australia recap podcast with

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,200
me because literally there are no podcasts covering it right now.

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,800
And we could have been the one.

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,880
We could have talked about how trash the producers are.

58
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,880
Yeah.

59
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,880
What show?

60
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,800
I watched Traders, the US Traders season two.

61
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Yeah, my sister while I was in Houston.

62
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Fun.

63
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Did you like it?

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,800
Alex coming or whatever?

65
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,800
Alex coming.

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,800
Yeah, I'm coming.

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

68
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:55,800
It was good.

69
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,800
It was goofy.

70
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,800
It was ridiculous.

71
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,800
I don't know if I would like watch it not with people.

72
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,800
I don't think I would just sit there and watch it myself, but it was pretty fun.

73
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,800
Okay.

74
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,800
Yeah.

75
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280
What kind of weirdo does that?

76
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,800
Everybody else I know except for me.

77
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,800
This is a season with like Dan from Big Brother and part of the.

78
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Okay.

79
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,800
That was the first season I watched.

80
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,800
Okay.

81
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,800
Yeah.

82
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,800
It's like all.

83
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,360
How did you feel because it's like no one I'm assuming that you've ever seen on TV because

84
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,200
you don't watch other reality shows.

85
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,800
So as like a clean slate viewer, how was it?

86
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,800
I mean, it was fine.

87
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,880
Like I don't really because I know all the shows like I'm familiar with all the shows

88
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,800
like I've seen like seasons of Survivor and I know what Big Brother is and I've seen,

89
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,320
you know, some of the housewives like I've seen episodes and stuff like that.

90
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,560
So I'm familiar with all of them.

91
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,560
Well, I wasn't familiar with like Bullying Empire or whatever, but I feel like I get

92
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,240
together and I felt like that kind of helps.

93
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,240
But like, yeah, I didn't know.

94
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,560
I mean, my sister knew some of them.

95
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,880
So she was telling me she knew all like the housewives stuff.

96
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,040
And so that was helpful.

97
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,480
Older was your sister than us.

98
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,280
She's two years older than me.

99
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,280
Dang.

100
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,680
I mean, I like, I don't know if I've ever spoken to her.

101
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,120
I feel like I've seen her maybe in quick passing, but she sounds cool.

102
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,960
Uh huh.

103
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,160
Why did you watch reality TV with her growing up, man?

104
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960
I did watch a lot of reality TV growing up.

105
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Oh, I watched a ton of reality.

106
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,960
This is why.

107
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Growing up, what was that?

108
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,440
That's like way late.

109
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080
OK, in high school, high school.

110
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,960
No, I didn't watch.

111
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,840
I watched like the VH1 MTV.

112
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,320
OK. Reality shows.

113
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,600
I watched my favorite love and my Super 16 or whatever.

114
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,240
I watched like the I watched some of the challenge when that was on.

115
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,520
I watched some real world.

116
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,760
I watched like the Jersey Shore.

117
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,800
I mean, like I watched that stuff.

118
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,920
OK, because that's the reality I never got into until I was like an adult

119
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,800
and retroactively watched all of the challenge.

120
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Um, because I don't know, maybe I was just like MTV's for cool people.

121
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,040
And I'm not cool or I just didn't watch a lot of table.

122
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,160
I just like watched what my family watched, which is Big Brother,

123
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Survivor, Amazing Race and Bachelor.

124
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Yeah. And it's fun to, although it is, my family does just like talk over each

125
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960
other and everyone's like quiet.

126
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,120
We're watching, but then none of us can shut our trap while we're watching it

127
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,600
also, or then everyone has to go pee.

128
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,760
And so it's like a whole ordeal to get a single episode

129
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
watched when you're in a family unit.

130
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Uh huh. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

131
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Although I feel like they're kind of designed where you can just walk away

132
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,840
and then walk back and it's fine. Yeah, I guess.

133
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,160
That's how I felt about it.

134
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Hang on there every walk away.

135
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,120
I played a lot of blotcher while we were watching this.

136
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,880
So I mostly just played that also. OK, that's a board game.

137
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Uh, no, it's a game.

138
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,480
OK, is it based off of work game?

139
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760
It's based off of poker.

140
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,360
Oh, OK. And you just play by yourself.

141
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,320
You construct poker hands, but you like have all these different

142
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,640
like bonuses and stuff you can get.

143
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760
So you're trying to accumulate points.

144
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,800
It's drop. I don't know how to play poker.

145
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,760
OK, it's pretty straightforward. I don't know how to play anything.

146
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,240
I got that game while I was in Houston because I'm like, I need something to do.

147
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,920
So I bought that game and I played like a shit ton of it.

148
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,800
So I also did that while I was doing Thanksgiving.

149
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,880
Before you talk about what else you've done,

150
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
what do you think about for a recommendation section?

151
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,800
We just talk about what we both consumed

152
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,000
from the past recommendation for that.

153
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,400
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to change this up instead of being like

154
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,120
recommend each other a new thing every week and then not do anything.

155
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,680
I think we're going to get something from the recommendation pool

156
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,680
and then we're going to give you updates on it.

157
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,920
So we'll have that as our last section today. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.

158
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,240
Other OK, other than

159
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,320
playing forgotten and and watching

160
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,120
traders, was there anything else?

161
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760
I guess because we haven't we haven't recorded quite some time

162
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,400
because we recorded in advance for Thanksgiving break.

163
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,920
So I sure I read a book. Epic things have happened. Oh, yeah.

164
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,080
Yeah, for my book club, I read the three body problem.

165
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Oh, there's a show based off that, right?

166
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,480
I feel like I've heard good things.

167
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,480
I have no idea what it's about.

168
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800
It's fine. Science.

169
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,960
Science is happening.

170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
We're in it's the Cultural Revolution of China.

171
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280
And we don't like scientists right now.

172
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,240
But what if you went to a government, a secret government satellite

173
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,800
dish place and did some stuff?

174
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,480
That would be cool, right?

175
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,760
I don't know how to talk about this one without spoiling things.

176
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,440
This is sound interesting to me, but no worries.

177
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,400
It's it's it's it's kind of like a it's a little bit like a thriller

178
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,040
where there's like, oh, some weird stuff is happening.

179
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Like there's this weird society of scientists and like some of them keep

180
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,920
dying under mysterious circumstances and things are going on.

181
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:24,240
The military is calling one of is calling you in you, the scientist,

182
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,120
POV character, actually has a name,

183
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,280
Wong, Wong's being called in to assist the military slash police slash

184
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,880
other government organizations to infiltrate the scientific group

185
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,240
to figure out what's going on, because, you know, we're in we're in wartime,

186
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,680
baby, and even though it doesn't seem like it, what could happen?

187
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,400
Also, what if you played a weird fucked up VR video game that includes

188
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,760
not only putting things on your eyes, but also a suit that gives you haptic feedback?

189
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,480
And you play a video game, which doesn't take advantage of the haptic feedback

190
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,440
very much, but it is part of the story.

191
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480
So that would be cool, right?

192
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:01,200
So cool.

193
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,160
It makes me think of this just came into my.

194
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,080
Did you ever read the shadow children books as a kid?

195
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Or it's like overpopulations and so each household can only have two children.

196
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,760
But a few households will have like have had another child, and then they had to

197
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,240
keep that child hidden from society.

198
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,080
And it's about those kids.

199
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
No. No. OK, I cut.

200
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,440
I'm like, I wonder if that's any good to read as an adult, because I'm like, oh,

201
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,000
yeah, that was a cool book.

202
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:39,080
I should read it as a thirty or one year old woman when I probably read it when I was 12.

203
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,960
Um, but that it's kind of makes me think of that.

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,640
And so you read it in its entirety.

205
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,680
Yep. That book club works where we just read the whole thing.

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,400
So it's a series.

207
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,640
I don't know if I'm going to read the next of the series unless we do that in book club,

208
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,320
because I'm very bad at following along with series.

209
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:03,240
Yeah. Well, because it does the thing where, like, a lot of the times

210
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120
there's like it doesn't pick up right where the last one left off.

211
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,240
I mean, obviously people read them years apart,

212
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,680
but like it's always a little weird if you read it back to back

213
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:19,680
and not immediately addressing what the what happened in the last book.

214
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,960
I I some of my friends at the book club did start reading the next book

215
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,280
and there is a time skip and there does seem to be following mostly different characters.

216
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,960
So I don't like that.

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Which honestly, for this book is fine, because the characters

218
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,920
were not the main draw of this book and we're not particularly interesting.

219
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,080
But the rest of the stuff was.

220
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,480
So maybe that's a good thing. I don't know.

221
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,200
Gotcha. OK.

222
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,680
Any anything else?

223
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:49,720
Any anime or fun activities?

224
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,920
I don't I don't think so.

225
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040
I'm still jogging along through the stuff I'm watching.

226
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,560
OK, I don't think I have stuff I did.

227
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,680
OK. Oh, wait.

228
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,800
Hold on, I did finish something tonight.

229
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,960
What did I finish? Did I already talk about?

230
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,080
I can't remember it.

231
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,280
It's escaped me.

232
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,000
Maybe I'll think of it.

233
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,320
You talk and I'll try to think of my thing. OK.

234
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:22,800
First off, I bought a couple of books Friday night from Barnes and Noble.

235
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,560
Mostly I started to new manga series I both I'm into.

236
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,040
I also picked up a for real book, which I haven't read one in a while.

237
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,240
And this one's called Close to Shore by Michael Capuzzo.

238
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,040
And it's about the series of shark attacks in 1916 in New Jersey.

239
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,600
So I'm excited to read about this.

240
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
It's it's a bit more formally written.

241
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,200
But it'll be interesting because like it was a, you know,

242
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,720
people didn't perceive sharks the same way they do now.

243
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,080
And it's like unprecedented to see all these attacks and stuff.

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,400
So I'm excited to read that.

245
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,960
And did you think of your thing? No.

246
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,920
OK, hold on.

247
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,200
It is lost forever.

248
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,560
And you have you have stood up and walked away.

249
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,960
I guess I'll fill the air. Shark attacks.

250
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,200
I heard that because of those shark attacks,

251
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,120
Woodrow Wilson lost his home state of New Jersey. Is that true?

252
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,560
I have no idea. I have not gotten to that point yet.

253
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:33,040
Yeah. Some people speculate it partially inspired the Jaws story,

254
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,200
although I think the author has denied that.

255
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:41,920
But OK, the the manga is I picked up and started of which I had never

256
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,800
like seen them around.

257
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,960
So I just took a gamble and they paid off.

258
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,080
One of them is a much more just like sugary, sweet manga, high school love,

259
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,640
blah, blah, blah, called Tiger and Dragon.

260
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,440
That's I like the art style of. Hold on.

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:07,760
OK. And then we've got what he who doesn't believe in fate says,

262
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,000
which I normally or it's been a while since I read one that has like a meal

263
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,240
protagonist, but basically this guy can see like this, the red strings of fate,

264
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240
which is like a thing where everyone has their fated partner.

265
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,960
They have like a string that connects to that partner.

266
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,080
And so he can see them and then he has a crush on this chick and can see that

267
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,720
her string is not attached to him.

268
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,080
So kind of like struggling with like I'm not the one for her,

269
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,800
but also screw fate and this and that.

270
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,760
So I'm liking this one a lot as well.

271
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,880
It might be. Oh, oh, my God, Joe.

272
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,560
And when I was at Barnes and Noble for the first time ever,

273
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,880
I saw that they have like smut like for real, the smut manga wrapped in plastic.

274
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,400
So you can't read it, but like on bookshelves.

275
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,360
I was like, oh, God, I have never seen that before.

276
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,360
We made it. We did it.

277
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,800
Yeah, I was like, what?

278
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,360
Crazy.

279
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,440
Let's see. I took a photo of one of them.

280
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,080
I've seen it online before.

281
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,920
It's called I think it's called.

282
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Fire in his fingertips and his like about this firefighter

283
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,240
romance thing smut thing.

284
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,400
So that was wild.

285
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,240
And then I watched on Disney Plus.

286
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,320
There's a documentary I think it's called Music by John Williams.

287
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,600
And it's just kind of like covers his entire music career.

288
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,120
And it was so good.

289
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,360
And I was so moved.

290
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,760
And he just rules.

291
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Makes the best stuff ever.

292
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Yeah, for real.

293
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,040
Um, oh, um, try to think.

294
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,360
I don't know.

295
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,600
I went to my dad's for Thanksgiving, got to pet some cows and pigs and goats

296
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,920
and chickens and beat them at virtual may golf.

297
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,600
And that was the worst at real life, many golf and been playing Baldur's

298
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,040
Gate 3, which you've seen been playing my and something that I didn't think

299
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,080
what happened has happened and I'm very excited.

300
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,760
So it is so much is so worth it to do replays of that game.

301
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Um, because I was like disappointed that there wasn't this one thing, but there is.

302
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Oh, so you got a new you triggered a new event.

303
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,800
Yeah. Oh, man.

304
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,480
Because I was like, I did a thing like, oh, this probably won't happen.

305
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,920
But just in case in my mind, this is what should happen.

306
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,240
And then it happened.

307
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,160
Oh, so that's exciting.

308
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,640
Um, and yes, we'll do our play through.

309
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Once we figure out for reals, these guys and I was like, oh, here we go again.

310
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,120
They're going to play Baldur's Gate, but we are we are.

311
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,920
I'm going to play my little dwarf gal, Yamir.

312
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,440
But yeah, I think I think that's pretty much what I've been up to.

313
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,880
Uh, and I'm freaking psyched to talk about Chihaifuru because this show is so good.

314
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,160
And someone on my stream last night bleached one of my big anime viewer.

315
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,040
He said, you do have good taste because like all the shows you covered have been good.

316
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,480
You just like, can we need to do it?

317
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,480
Okay. Didn't do it for him.

318
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,760
But like, and that's someone who like super watches a lot of anime and hadn't

319
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,440
watched any of these.

320
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,560
So and you watch a lot of anime and you haven't seen these.

321
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,600
So opening eyes that there's like anime, you might think you might be there.

322
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,640
So old, you don't see it around anymore or just dismiss it maybe

323
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,680
because of cover art or the genre.

324
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Really part of the problem, which I have to lose the name.

325
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,960
Yeah, not a cool name.

326
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,040
I mean, it's well, it's very much a show about knowing what it's about,

327
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,160
of which no one knows what it's about until they watch the show.

328
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,040
Yeah, it's also a show about a game that feels made up, even though I know it's real.

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,840
I explained some rules in these episodes that I made up.

330
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,480
Okay. I the fault thing thing I was like, hmm, I feel like that should

331
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,840
count as a fault, but it doesn't.

332
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,480
But we'll get to it.

333
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,520
I have a game about the game aspect of this game.

334
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,080
No, love it.

335
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,680
Which I think this may not be the greatest game of all time.

336
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Maybe that's why it hasn't caught on outside of barely catches on in its own

337
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,960
origin country, let alone the world.

338
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,640
Yeah, I don't.

339
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,160
It's one of these things that I'm kind of astounded that got made into a game.

340
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,000
It's kind of a very specific thing.

341
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,600
I mean, it's like Japan.

342
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,600
I don't know.

343
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,640
I mean, it's made of, I don't know how long ago it was made, but Japan has

344
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,680
the interesting history of being like pretty isolated and not like influenced

345
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,000
by other cultures.

346
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,760
Until fairly recently in modern history.

347
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,960
So like seeing what happens when it's like not there's no outside influences

348
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,960
because maybe they wouldn't have come up with it if they had whatever.

349
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,760
You know, it's more popular in the rest of the world because they got colonized.

350
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,240
Yeah.

351
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Yeah, I don't know.

352
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,240
I think it's fun.

353
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,960
I'm so bad at it.

354
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,240
But I think I like things that.

355
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,400
Test your map.

356
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,640
Test your memory.

357
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,120
OK, yeah.

358
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,560
More than luck.

359
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Yeah, I don't feel like that many games are luck based.

360
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:43,800
I don't know.

361
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,200
All the gambling games.

362
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,320
Yeah, or they have to do it.

363
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,680
Counting and I can't do that game is gambling is because it's like

364
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,720
partially luck based.

365
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,400
Some of it isn't even luck based.

366
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,960
Any whatever.

367
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000
We'll hear about all your hatred of this game that I adore.

368
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,240
OK, it's not really.

369
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Get to it.

370
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:05,440
All right.

371
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,640
Well, we're going to do our voice actor for this week.

372
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:14,200
The voice actor for Arata Wataya is Yoshimasa Hosoya,

373
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,160
who you may know as the voice of Reiner from Attack on Titan.

374
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,360
That's the captain, the blind guy, right?

375
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,400
No. Oh, that's that's the.

376
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,840
He's the one guy that's a soldier guy.

377
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,880
OK, he's the one who had the hots for.

378
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,040
And yeah, he's.

379
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,440
No, yeah, no, I guess he did.

380
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,840
I think he did.

381
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,720
No, no, no, the the skinny guy had the skinny guy.

382
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,080
This one had the hot friend of the story.

383
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the.

384
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Yeah, the bulky guy.

385
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,920
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

386
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,280
He's also the voice of Tokoyami in my hero academia, the birdboy himself.

387
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,040
Yeah, he's cool.

388
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,760
The guy with the coolest design.

389
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,760
I like Tokoyami so much.

390
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760
Also known or also the voice of.

391
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,400
Asahi Azumane from Haikyuu.

392
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,840
Is that someone important?

393
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,840
Sure was in a lot of episodes.

394
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,680
I think it might be the guy with gray hair and like a little

395
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,360
or he's the big guy with the spike.

396
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:15,880
I deserve.

397
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,440
I can't remember, but you haven't watched Haikyuu.

398
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,000
I've never seen Haikyuu.

399
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,120
I don't like it so much.

400
00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:23,080
It's so good.

401
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,720
It gives you so fucking hype for volleyball,

402
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,160
which I don't give a rat's ass about normally.

403
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,880
OK.

404
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,840
Oh, also the voice of Nicholas D.

405
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Wolfwood in Try Guns Stampede, the remake.

406
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,440
Ah, Wolfwood, the cool guy at the big try gun.

407
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:43,080
Wolfwood is cool.

408
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440
He is. I know it was

409
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,440
John Young Bosch's first anime voiceover.

410
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:50,480
Oh, yeah.

411
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,120
So English dumb shit, though.

412
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,920
Yeah, also the voice of Wolf Crozo.

413
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,960
And is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?

414
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,800
A show that I like even though I think it's really stupid.

415
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,240
That name, the worst name of all time.

416
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280
It's an incredibly bad name.

417
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,680
I almost watched the first episode.

418
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,320
Yeah, it gets better, but not that much better.

419
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,720
And lastly, also the voice of male Robin in Super Smash Bros.

420
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,400
So anytime Robin shows up from Fire Emblem, which I was going to say,

421
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,600
yeah, the default name for the protagonist in Fire Emblem Awakening.

422
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,520
Yes, Awakening. Yeah. Nice.

423
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,240
There he is.

424
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,040
He's also a lot of other sports anime.

425
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,000
He's in like he's in like the Ace of Diamonds or whatever, the baseball one.

426
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,280
He's also in the basketball one.

427
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,280
I didn't list those.

428
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,920
I don't know.

429
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,240
I don't know those.

430
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,680
I know. I'm a.

431
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,320
Yeah. Yeah.

432
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,360
Kuroku basketball.

433
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,920
Yeah, yeah, I've watched like a couple episodes.

434
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,520
Seventy two episodes.

435
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,720
Sometimes the art style will put me off.

436
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,000
No one didn't quite do it for me, but but those are some pretty notable roles.

437
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,520
So he's done a lot.

438
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,960
It's something he's somebody in Mobile Suit Gundam Ironblooded Orphans.

439
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,440
So I didn't know. So I didn't list it.

440
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,120
Still making stuff, you know, still having a lot of these credits are from like 2020s.

441
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,080
So.

442
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,680
We did just compliment him in last episode, how good he was at voice acting.

443
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,520
So that's true.

444
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,680
He's somebody in metaphor refan to as you.

445
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,360
Another thing with a good name.

446
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:27,920
Right. No.

447
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,240
Why do you think that is stupid ass name?

448
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:30,680
It's good.

449
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,000
I think you should just keep adding stuff to your names.

450
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:37,440
Anyway, Chihaya Furu verse seven is called

451
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,240
but for autumn's coming makes sense.

452
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,600
I have nothing to say.

453
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,960
I think I just I can't like think about these names ever again.

454
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:45,800
I just need to say them.

455
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Yeah, yeah.

456
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,960
We open on the Karuna Club practicing.

457
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Chihaya is way better than Taichi.

458
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,840
She wins her practice against him and then falls asleep.

459
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,360
Taichi explains to Hannah that Chihaya is good because of her innate reaction times.

460
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,720
And Hannah thinks this is great because she's good enough to like play in the championship

461
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,240
match. She can do so while wearing one of her family's outfits.

462
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,320
And that'll be like really good advertising.

463
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040
And then she shows him a brochure.

464
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,960
You see the shirt he's wearing in this.

465
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Is it the one where it's like split text?

466
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,480
It's like happy on like his ribcage.

467
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,480
And then yeah, another phrase.

468
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Like kind of opposing chest.

469
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Very weird shirt.

470
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,800
Yeah.

471
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
And continuing with the trend of Taichi has the weirdest fashion sense out of all of them.

472
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,720
Taichi reflects on his own performance and thinks about how between him,

473
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Arata and Chihaya, he was always the worst.

474
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,240
Chihaya wakes up and announces that she's going to recruit a new member,

475
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,200
the second smartest guy in their grade, because they need five members.

476
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,200
And then leaves. And right now they only have three.

477
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,480
So we need to get two more.

478
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,240
We cut to a nerd doing some studying while all of his classmates loudly mock him for being a nerd.

479
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,520
His name is Suthamu.

480
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,840
Yeah, Suthamu.

481
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,080
And he doesn't like school for this exact reason.

482
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,040
He does like studying, though.

483
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,440
So he just does that all the time.

484
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,800
However, we learn that he's insecure about being the second in his grade behind Taichi,

485
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,240
who I guess is the best, even though he spends most of his time studying.

486
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,760
So despite putting in the work, he is not number one.

487
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Chihaya shows up to recruit him and he ignores her initially.

488
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,520
She tells him that Karate is a game for smart people and that he should play with them.

489
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,320
Suthamu says that he won't play a game that won't help him with his studies.

490
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,040
So there isn't anything in it for him.

491
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,560
Chihaya tells him that she doesn't care and drags him off while he clings to his desk.

492
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,960
So I think I didn't write down is like.

493
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,800
So his name is Suthamu, which is like close to the word for desk,

494
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,600
which is Sukuay.

495
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,280
So people call him desk.

496
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,800
Koon, because he just said his desk all day to mock him.

497
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000
And here he is literally clinging to his desk.

498
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:57,680
This is become this becomes an important symbol later on in this episode.

499
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,800
She's really strong.

500
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,880
Yes, I guess.

501
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,080
She doesn't look very strong.

502
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Maybe this guy, but he is also pretty small.

503
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,920
The guy, he's a little guy.

504
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,120
He's a little guy who looks like a jelly bean or something.

505
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:11,960
Yes.

506
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,840
No, one of his classmates said he's also I'm remembering how we were just like,

507
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,000
oh, everybody's attractive.

508
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,840
He is markedly unattractive.

509
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,720
Chihaya brings Suthamu and his desk to the Karate classroom.

510
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Chihaya explains Karate to him and then says that it's a mental game.

511
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,600
She goes to show him how the game works with Taichi.

512
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:34,400
One second. I'm bad.

513
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,640
See, bless you.

514
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Thank you.

515
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,720
Suthamu realizes that his academic rival, Taichi, is in this club.

516
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,520
So he starts to like pay attention and see what's going on with it.

517
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280
He tells him that if this is really a game for smart people,

518
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520
then they should be able to play with all the cards face down

519
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,440
since they just need to memorize their position anyway.

520
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,640
Right.

521
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,880
Initially, they refuse and he starts to leave.

522
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,800
But then Taichi is like, dude, what's this bullshit?

523
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Like, why is this kid here coming here talking shit?

524
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,120
But they just decide to try it face down anyway.

525
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,080
So they're going to go for pure memorization card.

526
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,320
They start playing while Suthamu watches.

527
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,240
They're able to get the first couple rounds correct.

528
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600
But Taichi notes that it gets harder and the longer it goes on

529
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,520
because you have to memorize where everything is for a longer period of time.

530
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,840
Taichi starts winning and he realizes that his advantage over Chihaya is his memory.

531
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,160
This was like a thing she was never particularly good at.

532
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,320
So he starts moving the cards around to mess with her

533
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,880
because you're like allowed to reposition cards in some cases.

534
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,960
I don't exactly remember why.

535
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,720
Yeah, I think well, yeah, because you just have to like

536
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,720
announce that you're moving the card so that they know to remember

537
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,120
as a new placement.

538
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:46,680
I don't know that there's a limit to what you can do on that.

539
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,080
But yeah, that's a thing.

540
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,440
Taichi starts to dominate as he remembers that he actually hates losing

541
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,720
and likes to be competitive.

542
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,360
He sweeps her and Chihaya is frustrated.

543
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:00,280
Suthamu leaves with his desk.

544
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Taichi goes after him and asks him his name

545
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,800
because he has an estimate up to this point.

546
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,160
Suthamu ignores him and thinks about how frustrating guys like Taichi are

547
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,400
who are good at everything and have friends and are also attractive.

548
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,240
Taichi is like, so are you going to join or what?

549
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,920
And Suthamu's like tells him that he has no talent.

550
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,720
Anyway, all he can do is study so he can't play Carrota.

551
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,640
Well, I think he's also sorry.

552
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,520
I was going to say I think it pisses him off because he's like so fixated

553
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,240
on Taichi and knows who he is and then to know that Taichi has no idea

554
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,280
who he is. Oh, yeah.

555
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,040
They run her up in the grave is frustrating for him.

556
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,600
It's like you don't even realize this is a contest.

557
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,240
I never think about it all. Don Draper voice. Yeah.

558
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,080
Taichi thinks about his parents yelling at him or telling him to only do

559
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,000
things that he can be the best at and that and he gets frustrated.

560
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,200
And he picks up Suthamu's desk and throws it.

561
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,840
He tells him that he's not even good at Carrota and it's really hard for him

562
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,440
to do, but he doesn't anyway, because he likes to put in the effort

563
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,880
and he wants team members that we're also going to put in the effort.

564
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,960
And then he leaves to go to fetch his desk, but then decides to chase

565
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,160
after Taichi instead, leaving his desk behind as he goes.

566
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,400
End of episode. Yeah.

567
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
So they're so good.

568
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,600
Yes. Oh, well, I see.

569
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:26,360
I thought it was fun to see the shift in power in the match.

570
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,240
You know, we're normally Chi Haya just crushes Taichi

571
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,640
because of her reactions, but in this scenario, it's like plays to his

572
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,440
strength of memorization and it like displays how much he thinks about

573
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:45,960
because she just is memorizing the easy ones, but he like has the entire

574
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,720
like every card that's been played that match going through his mind to take

575
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,240
into consideration like it can't be this card that sounds like it

576
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,200
because it's already been read.

577
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,560
So I know that I can go on the first whatever for this one.

578
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Like it just shows very strategic, very, very good memory

579
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,040
for Taichi and that's his weapon.

580
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,480
Yeah.

581
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,880
It's like a variant.

582
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,840
This is not like a normal variant of cards.

583
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Because it seems like this would be a thing that people would have thought of

584
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,720
to like play it as.

585
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560
I mean, it seems hard enough as is.

586
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,040
Like, yeah, I guess I don't know what percentage of people who play it

587
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:28,160
regularly actually memorize like the majority of the cards or like a ban.

588
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:34,800
But balance between just seeing it as it's being read and going for it

589
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,560
faster versus like knowing, I guess, you know, yeah.

590
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,720
But I can't memorize all that 15 minutes.

591
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,320
I don't know.

592
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
But this is why I'm saying that because this is like this is like a variant

593
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080
that like changes the like skill set of the game.

594
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880
But I feel like regular cards that you really don't need to memorize stuff

595
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,880
that well, you just need to like do like OK.

596
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,000
Yeah. I mean, it's interesting.

597
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,760
I do think there's like kind of a problem with like it's hard to convey.

598
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Somebody's good memory in a TV show.

599
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,400
So it's kind of just like we get a montage of him picking up cards

600
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,320
and it's like, OK, you know, that's fine.

601
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,920
It's just not like actiony, particularly.

602
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,720
But it's, you know, it's fun to see in Tai Chi, good at stuff.

603
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,880
I guess I like him a little more this episode.

604
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:22,240
He kind of puts in the work to do the recruiting to a certain extent.

605
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,960
I'm going to have it like I think to say overall with this episode

606
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,360
and the next episode, because all of the all of the boys

607
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,600
motivations are all kind of the same, which is interesting.

608
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,960
Well, I track minds.

609
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Yeah. Well, I mean, like anything but wedding

610
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,680
or being better than others.

611
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,440
I mean, Sutomo's whole thing is like he is running away from his

612
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,360
because he like he doesn't feel like he fits in.

613
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,120
He knows he's not like particularly charismatic or, you know, attractive

614
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,320
or any of that stuff.

615
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,640
He's kind of only leading into the things good at as a as a escape

616
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,720
from like a social life because he finds it difficult.

617
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,520
So he's just sticking to the thing he finds easy.

618
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,120
And, you know, that symbolized through his desk,

619
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,200
rejects the desk at the end of the episode.

620
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,720
It's all good, right?

621
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,160
Like I think all that stuff is pretty good.

622
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,880
But it's very much framed in like a running away thing.

623
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,920
And like next episode, we're going to hear somebody who's also problem

624
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,400
is that he's running away from a thing.

625
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,480
It's just interesting that these are like the both the

626
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,160
the guys motivation of the last two is like you are avoiding

627
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,360
some problem that Karita can get you through somehow.

628
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,400
Yeah. Well, I think with.

629
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,560
Well, is a tariff icon desk Tomu.

630
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,960
It's Sutomo.

631
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,280
Sutomo.

632
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,560
It's just this is like not necessarily the sport,

633
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,880
but more like this is a place to belong being the

634
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,840
benefit of joining.

635
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,520
You know, because Chiaya super into Tai Chi is into Chi

636
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,720
Chiaya.

637
00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:00,520
Kana is into like the history of the whole thing.

638
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,120
And then this Tomu, I think, like this is something

639
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,120
if he's intelligent can play to his talents,

640
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,720
but it's mostly just finding a place where he can belong.

641
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,920
And enjoy something else at school rather than.

642
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Well, actually just enjoy school because he said he doesn't like school.

643
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,320
He's just like studying.

644
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,320
Yeah.

645
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Well, I'm going to have some some things to say about

646
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,200
the vibe of the club is next episode.

647
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,520
This is because porky.

648
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Yes, this is extremely.

649
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,920
OK, let's get into it.

650
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,520
All right, verse eight is called the sounds of the waterfall.

651
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,320
We open on the four cards that club members advertising

652
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,520
their club around or outside the school.

653
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,120
They have no success recruiting their last member.

654
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,120
It's chemistry class and Chiaya is asleep.

655
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,320
She says that she didn't eat breakfast because she woke up

656
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,720
early to try to recruit people.

657
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,760
After class, she sees Tsutomu studying studying

658
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,120
Karuta and tells him that they'll practice after school.

659
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,720
And then her stomach growls really loudly and he tells her to go eat.

660
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,520
So it's they interact like normal, I guess.

661
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,320
She goes to the cafeteria and recognizes one of the students

662
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,120
there as the kid they played cards against back in middle school

663
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,320
in that tournament.

664
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,360
She calls him porcupine because he's fat and his name is actually

665
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,560
Nishita, so I'm going to call him that because Christ Alive, girl.

666
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560
The fact of this episode is insane.

667
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,760
I think it's mostly because he eats a lot of pork buns.

668
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,560
Oh, sure.

669
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:27,760
She calls.

670
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,960
I'm sure that's why.

671
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,360
That's just you Joe looking into it because that's all you can think of.

672
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,360
Oh, that she calls the fat kid porky.

673
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:36,760
Yeah.

674
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,560
I don't know how I could ever come to that conclusion.

675
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,160
She's insensitive.

676
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,160
We all have some opinions about Shihaya to get to at the end of this.

677
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Lord, okay.

678
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,760
They're not.

679
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,760
They're not great.

680
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,360
We cut to Tai Chi teaching Hana and Tsutomu about Karuta.

681
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,760
She drags.

682
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,360
Oh, yeah.

683
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,360
She person is like I found a new member.

684
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,760
She drags Tai Chi along to go see Nishita and they see him buying

685
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,760
some food while wearing tennis clothes.

686
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,560
Shihaya ambushes him and he recognizes both her and Tai Chi.

687
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,560
He tells them he's not playing Karuta because it's lame and he likes

688
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:13,560
playing tennis.

689
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,760
Besides, if you want to play Karuta, he just like go to the Karuta

690
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,160
society is like, why does he have to join a school club?

691
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,760
He could just do it whenever he wants.

692
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,760
Shihaya begs him to join while still calling him porky to his face.

693
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,160
He's like, my name is Nishita and also I'm not joining.

694
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,760
So by and then leaves.

695
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,560
We see Nishita playing tennis.

696
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,760
He's pretty good.

697
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,760
However, we're not going to be able to get to the end of this episode.

698
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:35,760
Pretty good.

699
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,160
However, we learned that he is haunted by being defeated by Arata back

700
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,760
in elementary school.

701
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,760
Shihaya watches him play and realizes that he's saying the Karuta poems

702
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,760
while playing like tennis to match the timing of his swings.

703
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,760
This does not make any sense to me at all.

704
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,760
Yeah.

705
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,760
No.

706
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,760
Yeah, I don't understand it.

707
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,760
She says one of the poems out loud, which like messes up his rhythm

708
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,760
and he knocks one of the balls out of the court and has to go get it.

709
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,760
While he's getting it, Shihaya runs into him and tells him that he's using

710
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,760
tennis to play to replace Karuta and it's not fair to tennis.

711
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,760
And he's like, whatever, and just leaves.

712
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,760
He's obviously rattled by her though, and he can't focus on tennis.

713
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,760
Eventually he's just like, I have to call it quits and like leaves early.

714
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,760
Shihaya waits for Nishita to show up while Tai Chi resumes his lesson

715
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,760
with the new recruits.

716
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,760
He explains the faulting system in Karuta, which is like if you touch

717
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,760
the wrong card, it's a fault, which is some kind of penalty.

718
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,760
Unless it's near the correct card, like on the same size.

719
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,760
In which case it's okay.

720
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:41,760
Okay.

721
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,760
So it's dependent if it's on your side or your opponent's side.

722
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,760
So if you like hit the wrong card on your side, it's all right.

723
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,760
But if you hit the wrong card on their side, then it's a fault,

724
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,760
which means anytime there's a fault, it means they get to send one of

725
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,760
their cards to you, which is eliminating cards on their side because

726
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:05,760
the point of winning is to get all of the cards off your side of the field.

727
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:07,760
So yeah.

728
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,760
Okay.

729
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,760
I guess that's yeah.

730
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,760
Anyway, you can somehow use this to your advantage to strategize.

731
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,760
I didn't really understand it, but you can you can do that.

732
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,760
Nishita shows up and thinks that they're all pretty weak at Karuta

733
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,760
because he sees like the newbies playing.

734
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,760
Hannah and Tsutomu are like, who's this jerk and Tai Chi tells him

735
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,760
that he was number two in the nation in elementary school.

736
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,760
Nishita says it doesn't matter because they'll never beat Arata anyway.

737
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,760
So like let's just all do something else.

738
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,760
I guess and then he starts to leave.

739
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,760
Tai Chi stops him and tells him to play a match against Chihaya.

740
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,760
Nishita agrees on the condition that if he wins, they'll leave him alone

741
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,760
and also buy him lunch for a month.

742
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,760
Chihaya agrees and they play.

743
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,760
The game starts and Nishita is still very good.

744
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,760
He thinks that the tennis has been making him faster.

745
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,760
He thinks back to his childhood where he played Karuta all the time

746
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,760
because it was fun and he liked being competitive.

747
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,760
But then he lost to Arata and thought he'd never catch up with him.

748
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,760
So he just quit and started playing tennis.

749
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,760
We jump back to the present.

750
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,760
Chihaya has caught up to him and has taken a slight lead.

751
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,760
Nishita takes one of her cards and then sends her a card that's difficult for her to take.

752
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,760
He makes a comeback and starts to take his own lead.

753
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,760
Nishita is having a good time and Chihaya comments on it.

754
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,760
She starts going on a tear though, like getting those real short syllable ones.

755
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,760
Nishita is like, what's up with that?

756
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:30,760
And Tai Chi explains that Chihaya can sometimes hear the second syllable of a card before it's read.

757
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,760
No further explanation.

758
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,760
So not buying into the sport asset of this show.

759
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,760
It's hard to summarize. What do you want me to summarize this?

760
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,760
Okay, but in the moment, do you understand what's happening?

761
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,760
Yeah, yeah, she's getting like future sight.

762
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,760
She's like, hard of the cards winning.

763
00:37:48,760 --> 00:38:01,760
I think it's more so that like the enunciation of it, like most folks just hear it when it's been more verbalized.

764
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:11,760
But maybe her hearing is so good that like just the slightest shift in whatever they're saying is enough of an indication for her to act upon.

765
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,760
Okay, that was not clear to me.

766
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,760
I literally thought she just memorized the tape.

767
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,760
No, because it's Tai Chi reading, but it's Tai Chi reading it so she couldn't do that.

768
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,760
So I'm just like, I guess she's I think this goes with the cards of God thing whispering in her ear.

769
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,760
Like the thing that her grandpa talked about.

770
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,760
It kind of feels like I thought this was a hard of the cards thing.

771
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,760
No, okay.

772
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:34,760
Okay.

773
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,760
That's what I thought was happening. I thought we were going to get like a little mystical here.

774
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,760
Well, that's not fair for anyone going against her.

775
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:46,760
Well, yeah, but this is an animal. I mean, it's not real.

776
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:51,760
But sports, they can't always be good.

777
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,760
No, I don't think this is like in tribulations.

778
00:38:54,760 --> 00:39:04,760
I think it's fine. Like I think it's fine that she has like slight future sight. I think that's cool even the way it's framed is very weird because she was just like what's happening in time.

779
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,760
She's just like, oh yeah, she can do that.

780
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,760
It's just like what?

781
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,760
Anyways, yeah.

782
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,760
Anyway, it comes down to the wire, but she high draws faster.

783
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,760
Nishita thinks that maybe Chi Haya has been putting in the effort just like he used to as a kid.

784
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:20,760
The game ends.

785
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:21,760
Chi Haya wins.

786
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,760
Nishita decides to leave and Tai Chi asked him to join since he's not a T.

787
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,760
Tai Chi is not a good practice partner for Chi Haya, but Nishita would be.

788
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,760
Nishita doesn't say anything.

789
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,760
Chi Haya apologizes for him or apologizes to him for pestering him so much.

790
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,760
And just then the tennis coach shows up and asks Nishita why he skipped out on practice.

791
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,760
Nishita tells her that he quit. He's quitting tennis for Karate because they need a new member.

792
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,760
The Karate club thanks him and tells him and he tells them as a thank you that she hide and stop calling him porky.

793
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,760
She doesn't the end.

794
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:59,760
We get an after credit scene where Chi Haya says that she has a club now and is no longer alone.

795
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,760
Oh, I did not see that part.

796
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,760
End of. Yeah. That was me being like, oh, by the way, sometimes there's post credit scenes.

797
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,760
There we go. New member.

798
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:09,760
Yeah.

799
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,760
Nishita also.

800
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:20,760
Okay. So again, this is the thing where it's like Nishita is somehow replacing Karate with tennis, which I just does not make sense to me at all.

801
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:28,760
Well, I think it's that like he really wanted to be good at Karate and when he lost, he was discouraged.

802
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:34,760
And so he decided to do something that came more easily to him, but he was also less invested in.

803
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:38,760
So, you know, it didn't matter if he was winning or losing as much.

804
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,760
Yeah. I mean, that makes sense.

805
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,760
Pride thing. Yeah.

806
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:55,760
But this is the thing I bothers me about these two episodes is that they both kind of have both Nishita and Tsutomu have the same motivations as Taichi, where it's just like, I stopped playing this because I knew I wasn't going to be the best, even though I liked playing it.

807
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,760
And I tried to like do something that I thought I could be the best at because I was running away from it.

808
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,760
And now I've decided. Well, they're all kind of in the same.

809
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:22,760
And so basically, well, Nishita and Taichi, yes, but also it's both they're both connected or both their inferiority complex or whatever is tied to Arata, like, and what, you know, figure he is in their their age group.

810
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:28,760
And like how how good he is that I was discouraging to them.

811
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,760
Which I guess is like, just talking Arata up more.

812
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,760
Tsutomu, his his Arata is Taichi. Yes.

813
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,760
But it's like the same kind of motivation. It's like all kind of the same.

814
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:47,760
The same like family of motivational groups. It's just weird because like these two because like we get Hannah first, right?

815
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,760
And Hannah's thing. Yeah, we get Hannah's things first.

816
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,760
And it's very like, are you correcting my friends? OK, go ahead.

817
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,760
Tsutomu, go ahead.

818
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,760
OK, why are you corrected my pronunciation? I said Hannah.

819
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,760
Like flower. Her name is Kana. OK, it is.

820
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,760
Yeah. Oh, I wrote it down wrong. Yeah, whatever.

821
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,760
Kana. Yeah.

822
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:24,760
Anyway, her thing is like actually specific to Karate, whereas both Nishita and Tsutomu are both like, these are just kind of generic.

823
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:31,760
Like there's nothing about Karate specifically that's like achieves these things like you could replace any sport for them and this would still work.

824
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,760
So I don't really get the what I don't what I still haven't really gotten is like, what is the hook for Karate specifically?

825
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:44,760
I mean, like in the first few episodes, they said it is like if you're good.

826
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:53,760
It's like such a small pool of competitors that if you're good among them, then you're like the best in the world at this thing.

827
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:59,760
So I guess that's part, you know, versus like every country does every other sport.

828
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,760
So it's like you're just one individual and a sea of other people doing the same thing.

829
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,760
So it's more like unique, I guess.

830
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:16,760
And yeah, for Tsutomu, it's the, you know, the mental aspect of it.

831
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,760
Well, you know, I mean, we'll probably learn more about them individually.

832
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:29,760
I don't know, didn't you just have like this guy that you had chip on your shoulder about growing up like, damn, I always that guy is always better than me.

833
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:30,760
Blah, blah, blah.

834
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,760
This seems to be the staple of a boy's childhood.

835
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,760
If this show has taught me anything.

836
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:42,760
I mean, I guess, but I feel like the takeaway of these things is like becoming the best is not the important thing here.

837
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,760
It's like actually enjoying playing the game, right?

838
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,760
Because that's what she high is doing.

839
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,760
She's like enjoying the game play.

840
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:55,760
Whereas I feel like both of them get like all the boys are getting messed up because they're trying to be the best out of thing, even though that's like not fundamentally what's important.

841
00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:03,760
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter what the reasons for playing necessarily or what was what would be a better reason for one of them, you think.

842
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,760
Oh, I'm just saying it's interesting that Cona's thing is like specific to Karate.

843
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,760
Like the things that she liked is is hyper specific to the game of Karate.

844
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,760
You couldn't replace it with like, you know, this couldn't be about fighting games.

845
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,760
This couldn't be about marbles. This couldn't be about baseball.

846
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,760
It has to be Karate for her.

847
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:29,760
Whereas with it's more about Nishita, I feel like you could just replace this with any other sport and it would be basically the same story, which is fine.

848
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:36,760
Yeah, but it's like these haven't the show hasn't quite sold me on Karate yet as like a specific sport that has something going for it.

849
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,760
You know what I mean?

850
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:44,760
Like it hasn't like like when you're saying, you know, when you watch high Q and you're like, oh, this makes me care about volleyball, right?

851
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,760
This has not made me care about Karate yet.

852
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,760
Okay.

853
00:44:49,760 --> 00:45:10,760
Yeah, I can't remember my first viewing if I felt as strongly about the card game as much as just the characters and stuff, but it definitely, you know, we're still getting into it getting settled with Karate as a concept here.

854
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:17,760
So maybe once we go a little further, it'll be, but with Kana, it's not necessary even specifically Karate.

855
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,760
It's just like traditional Japanese culture that she is interested in.

856
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,760
And this is a game that is like drawn around that.

857
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,760
Yeah.

858
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:28,760
Yeah.

859
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:35,760
It's just it's one of the things where it's just like, I don't really get why Nishita is fixated on Karate and not tennis.

860
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:40,760
Well, Karate was first in his life and that's why he grew up playing. So it's like something he enjoyed.

861
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:49,760
And then so it's natural to be to gravitate back towards something that you enjoyed as a kid, I think.

862
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,760
Yeah, I mean, I guess it could be that I'm just waiting to see like what the what the pitch on Karate has like a game that's like fun.

863
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:56,760
Okay.

864
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:57,760
Uh huh.

865
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:04,760
It's you're hoping that the recruitment process would go into that more as like, yeah, to convince other people that yeah.

866
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,760
I don't think that's where it should happen.

867
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:13,760
I was excited about Kana because her thing was that it's like, Hey, this is not just like a game about touching pieces of paper that match phrases.

868
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:19,760
These phrases mean something. There's like a history behind this. This isn't just like a random game that was created.

869
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,760
And so and so that that I did like that part.

870
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:29,760
But yeah, so I'm sure we'll get that. I mean, this is a long series. So we're going to, I just thought we were going to get it here and we didn't.

871
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,760
But that's okay.

872
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,760
Kind of the same motivation for these two boys. I don't know what the vibe of this club is going to be.

873
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,760
Is this the point where we should talk about Shihaya?

874
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,760
Okay, let's hear it as a as a as a character.

875
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:52,760
So she keeps calling the sheet of fat all the time as like a joke, but not even like as a joke. I don't really understand what's going on here.

876
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,760
I mean, obviously that's like a supposed to be comedy for the show.

877
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:12,760
I don't think she's like intentionally bullying him. But what I think about Shihaya is that she is extremely childlike in a way that bothers me or like I that I'm not buying into.

878
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:24,760
Yeah, like she should have more social awareness and consideration for others, but she's very much like it's all about the things she's obsessed with, which is card.

879
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:35,760
And, you know, gaining these other members is just for the sake of having more people to talk about this thing that she likes and to be able to compete with this thing that she likes.

880
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:50,760
So, you know, kind of this has just been a problem for her constantly is that she doesn't think in bigger ideas or like how it will affect anything other than in the moment.

881
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:51,760
Yeah.

882
00:47:51,760 --> 00:48:05,760
Yeah, I mean, I kind of feel like low key Tai Chi is in VP of these two episodes being the person that actually recruits these people because like her recruitment technique for to Tomu is like, Hey, you're smart.

883
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:15,760
You should play this game for smart people. Also, I bought you food as a bribe. Here you go. And so Tomu is like, Okay, but like what's in it for me. I don't care about any of these things.

884
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,760
And then she just drags them off. It's very like, I don't know.

885
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,760
Yeah, I mean, Tai Chi is definitely.

886
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:45,760
Well, yeah, she has like a very peculiar origin with it, I guess, like, it was more about having a thing for herself rather than card specifically and then also it's like a connection to Arita, she's kind of attached to

887
00:48:45,760 --> 00:49:05,760
and so she just has like blinders on. But I think with these external forces coming into her inner circle like what we saw with Kana and her learning about the backstory of the poems that these characters will be like other pathways for her to grow as a person

888
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:21,760
in card of the game and just as a human, I guess. So like it'll be good for her to have more different types of folks and not just super card of motivated people.

889
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:32,760
Yeah. And I guess I mean, again, you're asking me like am I more into the sports aspect or am I more into the character aspect. This is the thing I'm going to be interested in because Chi Hai is very like self absorbed.

890
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:40,760
Yes, kind of unable to think about what other people would prioritize or think about or would want to be called.

891
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,760
Yeah, she is still like an elementary school kid.

892
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,760
Yes, yeah.

893
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:51,760
And so I'm interested to see if the show spends time on that or not.

894
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,760
Yeah, so far it has not been framed like a problem.

895
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,760
Because you are just like that.

896
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:07,760
That's who she is. Yeah, I mean, like she is very earnest. She does have like the child like earnest wonder kind of thing feel to it, which I think is the thing you're supposed to like.

897
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:12,760
And is the way that she's able to kind of connect with other people.

898
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,760
But that's not going to be enough.

899
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:17,760
I feel like.

900
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:18,760
Yeah.

901
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:23,760
Well, who would you say your favorite character is right now because I would say it's Tai Chi for me.

902
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,760
I mean, I'm not like Tai Chi.

903
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:36,760
But he's shown growth since being a child. Like he's not like Chi Hai or he hasn't changed.

904
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,760
Yeah, but he is still kind of a jerk.

905
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:46,760
I mean, again, he's like he's good at recruiting these guys, but he's going to recruiting these guys because they have the same problem as him.

906
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,760
Like I don't think he could have recruited Connor.

907
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:50,760
You know what I mean?

908
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:51,760
Yeah.

909
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,760
So like I think he cares about the poetry stuff.

910
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,760
Well, he's more so doing it for Chi Hai.

911
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:59,760
Like, oh, Chi Hai wants these members.

912
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:05,760
So I'm doing it for her rather than like caring about relating to these guys.

913
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,760
Yeah.

914
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,760
Who's my favorite?

915
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,760
I don't know. Everyone's kind of running a net negative right now.

916
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,760
I mean, I like Arata.

917
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,760
I do like Arata, but he's just like not really in the show right now.

918
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,760
I like Connor.

919
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,760
I like I kind of like Nishita.

920
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,760
Yeah, he's cool.

921
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:26,760
And he's good.

922
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:27,760
And he's good.

923
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:28,760
Yeah.

924
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:34,760
And he's like, he's acknowledging he's not a good person for Chi Hai to practice because she won't improve because she's not getting challenged.

925
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,760
But Nishita is clearly has the talent for it.

926
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,760
So he'll be good for Chi Hai.

927
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:42,760
Yeah.

928
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,760
I mean, he's kind of standoffish, but you are going to a club or the main club member keeps calling you fat.

929
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,760
So I mean, I think you deserve to be standoffish. You can be a jerk to them, whatever.

930
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

931
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,760
Let's see.

932
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:01,760
There is a character that we haven't really talked about much, but and you called her the tennis coach.

933
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:08,760
She is she's also Chi Hai is I think homeroom teacher and students call her the Empress.

934
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,760
I think because she's like really stern and stuff.

935
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:20,760
But so she's kind of like the only adult figure we've seen consecutively within these episodes.

936
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,760
So just I guess keep an eye on her a little bit.

937
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:24,760
Okay. Yeah.

938
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:25,760
Yeah.

939
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,760
She does show up.

940
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,760
I didn't really mention it because nothing she did was really that important.

941
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:29,760
No, showed her face.

942
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:36,760
She noticed that like Chi Hai was talking to Shida and then she she was off after that.

943
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,760
And, you know, so she's like kind of perceiving.

944
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,760
She's paying attention to the cards club and she is.

945
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:50,760
But like, you know, he says he's going to quit and she's like, let's say I mean, she doesn't like try to convince him not to.

946
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,760
I think she can see that he didn't care that much about it.

947
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,760
It was just like, are you seeing so much more excited about card and this conversation she has with him.

948
00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:59,760
Yeah.

949
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:00,760
Yep.

950
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,760
Yep.

951
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,760
Anyway, that's where that was these episodes.

952
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,760
Yeah.

953
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:11,760
Yeah, I'm excited to watch more because now we've got the crew.

954
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,760
Now it'll be more like getting to know them.

955
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:33,760
What are their play styles of card because we've seen kind of what like Tai Chi and Chi Hai is are but like seeing new ways to play the game will be interesting and kind of learning it along with the newbies, kind of.

956
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:41,760
So tell me, so tell me, so yeah, informing the club officially, I guess.

957
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:42,760
Yeah.

958
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,760
And then, yeah, I'm going to be honest.

959
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,760
I think I feel like the vibes of this club are going to be bad.

960
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,760
I think the social dynamic in this club is getting starting off in a bad place.

961
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,760
Yeah, well, it's not come.

962
00:53:53,760 --> 00:54:11,760
It's not like camaraderie based, it's like pieced together and then Chi Hai is just in it for that and then Tai Chi is basically having cleaned up her mess is that she can't be bothered to manage.

963
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:20,760
It's such a mess because it's like Chi Hai loves Carter like genuinely likes it likes to play with people Tai Chi.

964
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:30,760
Seems kind of a different to Carter like does kind of like it but isn't going to go out of his way for it pretty much only in this club because he has a gigantic crush on Chi Hai.

965
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,760
You know, he's like he's got that girlfriend.

966
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,760
Yeah, he's still got that girlfriend baby.

967
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:36,760
Oh my God, I didn't even think about that.

968
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,760
Rancid.

969
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,760
Neither has he.

970
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,760
Yeah, so that I don't know if he's really that interested in anybody else in the club.

971
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,760
I mean, he was teaching Kana and Stomer.

972
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,760
Yeah, they seem fine.

973
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:57,760
He was just in it for like the lore of the game like not like the background like I don't even know she likes playing it doesn't really know anybody else in the club.

974
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:08,760
So Tomu who like probably hates Tai Chi or like is competitive with him and like as like a rival that Tai Chi is not knowledge doesn't seem to be very social.

975
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:16,760
Also kind of just like learning this game out of obligation to doesn't really seem like that interested in the gameplay itself part right.

976
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,760
He's taking the level of seriousness he has a study he's now applying to Karna.

977
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,760
So he's like taking in depth notes at every word and this and that.

978
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,760
So yeah, he's in it.

979
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,760
Yeah, he's in it.

980
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:40,760
And then we have Nishida who's just like Karta doesn't seem to like anybody else in this club with good reason with good reason, especially not Chi Hai probably going to bond the most with Tai Chi or something.

981
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:46,760
And just likes playing it kind of but he only wants to play against people that are good so he can only play against Chi Hai.

982
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:55,760
They're they're all second years I think and Chi Hai is in the same class as to Tomu.

983
00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:03,760
So at least I'll have someone in his classroom now that we'll see I don't know that we saw her really.

984
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:08,760
Is she gonna talk is she gonna fall back on his nickname now and call him desktop.

985
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:19,760
I think she was in the class of people who have been calling him that's not like she's did anything to stand up for him like she did for Arda when they were kids and he's being made fun of in class.

986
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,760
Yeah, I think she does call him desk.

987
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,760
Right, she calls him that.

988
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,760
Okay, I'm pretty sure.

989
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,760
I can't probably.

990
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:48,760
I feel like yeah I feel like none of them are going to want or develop that's deep of friendships with Chi Highest I feel like she'll be on like a different level and then the rest of the group will get closer as like normal humans and then they'll be like Chi Hai.

991
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:53,760
She's an odd doc that one she's like the mascot whatever.

992
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:54,760
Yeah.

993
00:56:54,760 --> 00:57:00,760
It's like everybody else normal human connections and then there's Chi Hai being a little freak over there.

994
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,760
Yeah, something like that.

995
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:04,760
Yeah.

996
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:18,760
Okay, I hope it doesn't become like that I hope she does want to get better and like be friends I do kind of want the sports anime to be about a bunch of friends that play sports not about a bunch of individuals who play sports together.

997
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:27,760
Incidentally, yeah well they have to come together as individuals and then get to that point so that's part of the journey versus like starting off as friends.

998
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:28,760
Yeah.

999
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Yeah, so I hope.

1000
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:32,760
I hope it develops.

1001
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:33,760
Yeah, like that.

1002
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,760
Uh huh.

1003
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,760
He don't sound hopeful.

1004
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,760
Well so far I have not been.

1005
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:48,760
I mean I'm not like this show.

1006
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:54,760
The show is fine it just isn't I'm confused about what it's doing I don't know what the priorities of the show are yet right I mean it's only eight episodes in.

1007
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:55,760
Yeah.

1008
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:03,760
But I don't know if this is a show about friendship or if this is a show about I don't know what it's about basically.

1009
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:18,760
Like what's it going to spend time on is what I'm saying right like is it going to like what's it going to spend like is it going to be about the sport is it going to be about catching up to a right is it going to be about like achieving your dreams like what is it what are we what are we going to spend time on like more sports

1010
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:27,760
anime it's like they're all gung ho for this one goal so like there's not a lot of external.

1011
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:33,760
Things outside of the sport happening in the plot.

1012
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:44,760
So it's very focused on the sport aspect and then like the team, you know teamwork that goes with that just happens for the sake of being better at the sport kind of.

1013
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,760
But this is like there's a lot.

1014
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,760
There's more elements going on in it.

1015
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:58,760
There's not a dedicated sports anime but it is a big part and then there's like the characters and the relationships between them and all that so it's it's different.

1016
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:08,760
You know, I don't know why it's just a but like it's really a different approach to the sports animation rather than the few others that I've watched.

1017
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:15,760
Because normally it's like they just have cool looking characters that you like watching doing cool things.

1018
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:25,760
You don't know that much about them necessarily or they're like that's all cheesy like you know my dream.

1019
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,760
But but yeah.

1020
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:36,760
Yeah, I just don't know what it's going to focus on because yeah I like to know in the genre space there's like some things you can focus on right like this can be about people's relationships with each other.

1021
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,760
I know that that's like the swimming the horny swimming ones about that.

1022
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,760
It can be about like what you want to do with your life.

1023
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,760
Yeah free free.

1024
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:57,760
Those two guys who are like reconnecting over time like I know it could be about something like you know I like I read blue box or whatever which is like the bad mitten one which is like a romance thing right and also kind of sports.

1025
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:06,760
But like, I just wanting to know like what else is it going to be besides just the sport part like is it going to focus on like when it's not the sport what's it going to focus on.

1026
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:07,760
We'll see.

1027
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:15,760
We'll see I just don't know what it is yet because we mostly just been doing like plotty plot stuff, which is fine. Yeah. Yeah.

1028
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Okay.

1029
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,760
Yeah.

1030
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,760
Well I hope you don't think I hate the show.

1031
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,760
I just you hate it.

1032
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:26,760
That's not what you hate me.

1033
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:27,760
That's right.

1034
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,760
I started a whole podcast to let you know this.

1035
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:32,760
Oh man.

1036
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:37,760
I'm going to my favorite.

1037
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,760
Oh, okay.

1038
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:48,760
Well, do we I guess we'll get into more in depth conversation about something else with our new recommendation format.

1039
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:49,760
That's right.

1040
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,760
Do you want to go first or yeah.

1041
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:54,760
Okay.

1042
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:57,760
So last time you recommended me what you recommended two things.

1043
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:03,760
And one I went with is I checked out for God Nan, which is I'm also playing it on the switch. Yeah.

1044
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:14,760
You know, again, like action platformer kind of thing in that world where like lost objects become animated with this goo.

1045
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:15,760
What's it called?

1046
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:16,760
I don't remember what it's called.

1047
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,760
It's like some kind of energy source.

1048
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,760
And you're like in the under city.

1049
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,760
I've probably played like two hours or so two or three hours maybe.

1050
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:28,760
I haven't played much other than or past that either.

1051
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:29,760
So okay.

1052
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,760
So you mentioned the vibe of it.

1053
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:32,760
Yeah.

1054
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,760
So you mentioned that there is like a revolution happening in some stuff.

1055
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,760
So maybe I'm going to read.

1056
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:44,760
I just remembered that I'm going to say what the premises just in case you don't know.

1057
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:56,760
So you play as Ann, who is a human woman who's basically an enforcer with the power to kill any of these things at will.

1058
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,760
With pretty much no oversight.

1059
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,760
You can just kind of do it and you work for a guy who's named.

1060
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,760
I don't remember his name, but he's like the director or whatever.

1061
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,760
And they're trying to build a bridge out of this realm back into the real world.

1062
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:10,760
Right.

1063
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:27,760
So all of these lost objects are recruited slash forced into working on this bridge with the promise that they'll get a ticket out back into the real world if they accomplish their job correctly.

1064
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:33,760
And perhaps the working conditions are bad and maybe we're you're the baddies.

1065
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:43,760
Because there is a revolution going on. The first scene is like rebels blowing up parts of the city or whatever because they don't like the treatment.

1066
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:49,760
Actually, we haven't really gotten a lot on like what the rebels like politics or demands are that just kind of the vibe of it.

1067
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,760
A scarf breaks into your house.

1068
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:57,760
And it's like you can press a to suck the magic life juice out of the scarf.

1069
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:58,760
And I'm like, yeah, sure.

1070
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:01,760
I'll suck the magic life juice out of the scarf.

1071
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:06,760
And then I see that and he dies and then I get a little thing that says that could have gone differently.

1072
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,760
And I'm like, OK, so.

1073
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,760
OK, so I kind of remembered it right.

1074
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,760
I just didn't remember that we're on the opposing side.

1075
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:16,760
Yeah.

1076
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:17,760
We're the staff.

1077
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,760
We are the man who people don't like.

1078
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:30,760
I think maybe there's a good reason there's like literally a part where one of the like she's like a lamp or something who like does maintenance on one of the gates is like, oh, rebels like got through because they like.

1079
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,760
Rushed in and I couldn't stop them.

1080
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:41,760
And like you end up talking to like the director guy and he's like, hmm, should we replace that the lamp chick by sucking the life out of her and assigning it to someone else?

1081
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,760
And you basically have to be like, no, no, no, she did her best.

1082
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:45,760
You don't have to do that.

1083
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,760
Or you could just be like, yeah, we should just kill her like whatever recycles.

1084
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,760
Like, it's so.

1085
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,760
So choices matter.

1086
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:54,760
So obvious that you're the bad guys.

1087
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:55,760
It's crazy to me.

1088
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:58,760
OK, well, what are your thoughts so far?

1089
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,760
I'm interested to see where it goes.

1090
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:05,760
I'm like, I'm doing a thing where I have to like do a little bit of sleuthing.

1091
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:11,760
I have to like figure out who a trader is like a guy works at the train station or the conductor.

1092
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,760
And I guess I do it by torturing one of them.

1093
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,760
Maybe is the solution.

1094
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:18,760
So that's interesting.

1095
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:19,760
We'll see how it goes.

1096
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:20,760
I think it's interesting.

1097
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,760
I think that it's doing all that stuff intentionally.

1098
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:26,760
Like, I think there are going to be some interesting things going on in this.

1099
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,760
They're obviously engaging with like real politics or like politics in some way.

1100
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,760
So I think I'll like it for that reason.

1101
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,760
We'll we'll see how it goes.

1102
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,760
But I darker than I remember.

1103
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,760
Yes, this I was going to be a little more animal crossing than it ended up being,

1104
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,760
which was like immediately like.

1105
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,760
Will you execute this?

1106
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,760
It's been a few years since I played it.

1107
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:55,760
So that was kind of incredible.

1108
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,760
Yeah, I'm just saying the platform is kind of hard.

1109
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:04,760
Like, I don't really love the flying mechanics, but I do like the shifting like the puzzle part.

1110
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:09,760
Like the puzzle part I like the platforming part I find like kind of, I don't know if it's because it's on the switch.

1111
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:11,760
Maybe it's just the switch controls don't feel great to me.

1112
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,760
But I do like the puzzle part.

1113
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:14,760
The puzzle part is pretty solid.

1114
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,760
Okay, cool.

1115
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:17,760
Yeah.

1116
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:18,760
So I'll keep playing it.

1117
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,760
I'll check back in and let you know if we are the baddies or not.

1118
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:23,760
Okay.

1119
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:35,760
All right. And then I decided to watch what you recommended, which let me try and get the name right off the top of my head.

1120
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:42,760
It's just it's just Gundam, which of Mercury, the the which from Mercury of Mercury.

1121
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:43,760
Yeah.

1122
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,760
Yeah, mobile suit gun and the witch from Mercury.

1123
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,760
Okay, yes.

1124
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:53,760
And I'm learning is it it's gun numb.

1125
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,760
It's like g u n a m.

1126
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,760
No, no, no g u n a m.

1127
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:00,760
Okay, that's what I thought.

1128
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,760
But then I feel like they're saying something else in the show.

1129
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:04,760
Okay, okay.

1130
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:10,760
So the show is going to call the the material something different with the franchise.

1131
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:14,760
So Gundam is a portmanteau of gun and freedom.

1132
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,760
I would not have guessed that.

1133
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,760
Which is fun.

1134
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,760
The thing they're talking about.

1135
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,760
Yeah, like it's also made of like Gundam medium sometimes.

1136
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:28,760
Like there's always some like goofy stuff in the world that like is in this specific one.

1137
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,760
They call it gun them or whatever.

1138
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,760
Okay, because I was like, have I been saying this wrong my entire life?

1139
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,760
Okay.

1140
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:36,760
Okay.

1141
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,760
Well, okay.

1142
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:45,760
So it starts with a prologue episode, which is about who our main protagonist is going to be, which I'm confused if it's like they really are.

1143
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:57,760
First, if it's like they release that first and then like change some stuff, but like, because her name is like, airy, but then after the prologue, her name is Sue well.

1144
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,760
So I'm like, is that like an undercover name or did they just like, I hate that name.

1145
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,760
Let's switch it to a different name.

1146
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:08,760
But you're partying that what and I guess everyone.

1147
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:26,760
Sue well, Mercury, because she's from Mercury, so I guess there's not last names or something. And then there's like, spacey ends and earthy ends and like prejudice against people from earth versus people from space and corporate politics stuff.

1148
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:50,760
That is like, not the thing that I like don't really care about in these mecha shows. But it does have the like kind of, you know, coming of age aspects to it of like attending, you know, being a new student at school and stuff like that, which makes it better.

1149
01:07:50,760 --> 01:08:00,760
I don't like our main girls eyebrows, like you can do the like rounded eyebrow like that but hers are like overly dramatically huge.

1150
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,760
Yeah.

1151
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:08,760
She's cute for anybody you want to describe what she looks like for like the.

1152
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:24,760
Okay, so she's like kind of tan and she's got like red, not like orange like red hair that's kind of like messy or you know, going all over the place with a ponytail.

1153
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:40,760
She's got like blue eyes and happy demeanor. And then her like, I guess counterpart that's the more formal fancy gal.

1154
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:58,760
What's her name? Me or in a me or in a I like that name. Basically, it's like, basically she's the ice chick from Ruby, anime style, all corporatey and white hair and white skin.

1155
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:27,760
But and her bottom her dad sucks and he's the big head honcho of things and and it's like corporate stuff on to school, I guess, and her dad owns it also he's like, OK, and whoever wins duels and is like the strongest mobile suit pilot is the one who gets to marry my daughter.

1156
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:43,760
So that sucks. And so like the reigning guy is douchebag. And then and then this new girl beats him in a duel and then she's now the fiancee of the chick.

1157
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:56,760
Apparently. Oh, and I like the thing where it's like, I'm a girl. And then she's like, oh, I guess you're more conservative over on Mercury. That's fine here.

1158
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:04,760
But like the color of the groom still, which is weird. Why just call her the fiancee title. I don't know. It's just like it's weird.

1159
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:18,760
Yeah, but I mean, the combat is cool because it's like not super 3D ish that some of them are. Yeah, we're like, gross looking like it looks nice.

1160
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,760
The suits and the combat and stuff.

1161
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,760
I'm watching it in dub.

1162
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:31,760
I have not watched this is probably the most incoherent summary of this ever but like.

1163
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:41,760
Yeah, like a big thing about Salah's character that I think might be useful if you haven't seen it is that she is also like a huge ball of nerves.

1164
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:55,760
Like just like shaking all the time like a chihuahua. It is like very uncomfortable in every social setting, except for when she's piloting her Gundam in which case she is like super relaxed and normal.

1165
01:10:55,760 --> 01:11:05,760
So I've watched the first three or four episodes. Okay, I am liking it so far. So I'll keep watching it.

1166
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:12,760
And I thought this was the season with those pretty boys you had lined up in that one photo. But I guess that's a different one.

1167
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,760
Oh, no, that's Gundam wing. That's a different Gundam series.

1168
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:25,760
Okay, but there is a guy there's a guy in the show that looks like howl from howl's moving castle but with like kind of greenish blonde hair instead.

1169
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,760
But he looks he has like the same vibe as him and everything.

1170
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:31,760
Oh, yeah, yeah. I know who you're talking about.

1171
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:45,760
But but but yeah, so I'll keep you posted on my thoughts there. But yeah, look at me watching my first Gundam show ever.

1172
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:52,760
I feel like these shows just like a lot of things are not elaborated on why are they called witches? Why?

1173
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:53,760
Yes.

1174
01:11:53,760 --> 01:12:03,760
Yeah, this and that. And I mean, I'm assuming it's just witches and like someone against the whole benefit of whatever corporation.

1175
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:11,760
It's like it's like a bunch of corporations combined to make one force and then I guess I have competitors as well.

1176
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,760
Yeah, this is the stuff that just goes over my head.

1177
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:26,760
Like, I'll be more in it for like the fun, cutesy girl time and like cool fight scenes more than the like grand scheme things.

1178
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:32,760
Yeah, I mean, that's I think that is generally the way that you like that is a way you can engage with it.

1179
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:43,760
It's just like mostly just like the character drama piece. You don't really need to know what's going on with that like other stuff like because they will just like drop stuff in there being like, oh, this whatever military factions say in this and you're like, I'm sorry, who?

1180
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:55,760
Yeah, like that'll happen all the time, especially like this one's a little more like because it's only two seasons, right? And it does feel like the last season got a little like it should have been longer.

1181
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:03,760
I don't know if it actually was supposed to be or not. But there is like a lot of stuff like that where like you don't really need to understand everything that's going on.

1182
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:13,760
You can kind of just stick with like the character drama and that'll like get you through the most of it because this one is a little bit messier than I feel like most Gundams are.

1183
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:20,760
At least the ones I've watched are a little more contained, less sprawling with like a bunch of things in it. You know what I mean?

1184
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:25,760
Yeah, I did you ever watch a show called Chrome shelled regios?

1185
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:35,760
I feel like it was on Netflix. I feel like I watched maybe half of the first season of that and it was OK.

1186
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:45,760
But that's kind of a well, not exactly mech, but similar vibe where they're like at a combat Academy thing or something.

1187
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:56,760
Also, the guy, the blonde guy, his tan, who's like monitoring the duals or whatever. And certain lighting. He's pretty hot.

1188
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:03,760
With the super long hair. Sometimes her color looks weird. Yeah, but he's hot. That doesn't that's not dress code.

1189
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,760
I don't think his whole get up his entire ass chest being out his shirt is like totally open.

1190
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,760
Dude, the student council is so goofy.

1191
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:22,760
OK, so that's who they are. I know that he had like a little posse with them, like the kid with the tablet and then and then how from how's movie Castle is one of them and some chick.

1192
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:37,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're like all different. They're like also high ups in the respective companies that like make up the school, essentially, like it's very, you know, anybody can challenge to be like the top dualist,

1193
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:48,760
but you have to bring your own mech. And yeah, not in the budget. Yeah, it's not in the way. So pretty much only the like airs of the different companies can really compete effectively.

1194
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:59,760
Yeah, that's kind of how it works. So it's all very. So there's like a lot of different like things you can look into it and being like, oh, well, this is like the privatization that the Neil lives want.

1195
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:06,760
Right. This is the corporate control that, you know, yeah, some some type of politics aspire.

1196
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:14,760
To this is what it looks like in this. So there's like some stuff going on that I think you can read into if you want to, but you don't have to because it ultimately doesn't matter.

1197
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,760
Okay, cool. I shall not be.

1198
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:28,760
Well, yeah, look at yeah. So we're both doing this check in the recommendations out. So yay for that.

1199
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:39,760
Well, I guess update on that front as we move forward. Anything our listeners can do for us, Joe.

Put us on there. You know, it's just been the end of the year.

1202
01:15:52,760 --> 01:16:01,760
It's a good time to start some new stuff and get some new resolutions going on to rate all your podcasts that you listen to.

1203
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:09,760
Also, tell your friends to listen to things. If you have friends that like Chi Hai Fu Ru or any of the other shows, we've covered several other shows up to this point.

1204
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,760
We've covered angelic layer. We've colored communities. Okay, we covered skip beat.

1205

1207
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:38,760
So please let people know you can post about it on social media. You can interact with our social media accounts on Instagram and

1208
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:44,760
TikTok, which I think is is what's the current status of the ban on that? It's still there.

1209
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:46,760
I can still download. It's fine.

1210
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:56,760
If you have any questions, yeah, top listeners because it's the end of year. So we're getting like Spotify, rap, did we?

1211
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:06,760
Raps. Yeah. So if you're one of our top 10 fans, which I think you just had to listen maybe for a certain amount of time or something and that makes you one of them.

1212
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:17,760
So we've got 10 folks who qualified for that. Thanks for listening. Same on YouTube. And I don't know if Apple's going to jump on the bandwagon of having a rap thing.

1213
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:18,760
I don't think so.

1214
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:19,760
The year. Okay.

1215
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,760
It's like a pretty hands off application.

1216
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:22,760
Oh, yeah, that's true.

1217
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:29,760
Okay, but like the Spotify rap like John Rithing bullshit is all AI generated and it sucks.

1218
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:45,760
Oh, yeah. Well, I just listen. I just because normally I'll listen to either my like songs, just all of them, all thousands of them that there are, or it'll make a playlist from your top songs of each year.

1219
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,760
So I'll like sometimes just go through that.

1220
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:51,760
I feel like mine is always a mixed bag.

1221
01:17:51,760 --> 01:18:10,760
This year was a lot of it was third day or three. No, third eye blind third day's grace, I think is what I was going to say, but it's just I think it's fun to although sometimes it's like, I don't know.

1222
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,760
I listen to it that much.

1223
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:24,760
But so but yeah, if you if you were listening to us on there, thanks. We're not big enough to record our own little thanks for listening video thing that for some artists like I guess but.

1224
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,760
This is the best you can everybody gets it and we all thank you.

1225
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:45,760
Yeah. Yeah. And then yeah, if you want to go back on if you want to contact us directly you can do so via email show Joe pod at gmail.com.

1226
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:54,760
And we'll be sure to respond. Yeah, word of mouth blah blah blah do all that stuff.

1227
01:18:54,760 --> 01:19:00,760
And yeah, okay. Anything you want to wrap on Joe.

1228
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:05,760
Remember when someone tells you to stop calling them a name you should just stop calling them a name.

1229
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,760
Yes, that is the correct thing to do.

1230
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:19,760
You should do that. Also, when you try to convince somebody to like join your club or do something you should think about what's in it for them, instead of just asking them over and over and over again.

1231
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,760
Just annoy them into submission just annoy them into submission. That's right.

1232
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:27,760
Don't don't do that. Joe, you're getting more you're getting more gray hair.

1233
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:34,760
How exciting is notice I can see it's like right on your temple. You get some great hit there.

1234
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,760
Yeah. Thanks. Yeah.

1235
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,760
I'm pointing that out. I don't know.

1236
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:49,760
I think gray hair is cool. So yeah, you sure distinguish looking are looking old too, I guess.

1237
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,760
I wish I would get gray hair.

1238
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,760
Okay. Don't.

1239
01:19:54,760 --> 01:20:05,760
Yeah, because if I get a bunch of gray hair, then I can just dye my hair gray and then it'll just be gray forever and I don't have to diet ever again and save a ton of money.

1240
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:11,760
But you could just dye it from gray to something else. It's like the ultimate because then you don't have to worry about like washing the color out because it's gray.

1241
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:12,760
Yeah.

1242
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:13,760
Then you can color it all the time.

1243
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,760
That's what I'm saying. You don't have to worry about your natural hair color because it's gray now. So you could just do whatever.

1244
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:22,760
I see what you're saying. You don't have to worry because you're like, oh, if I bleach it will damage my hair. But it's like, I mean, it's already gray.

1245
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,760
What's the big deal?

1246
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:26,760
Anyways.

1247
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:28,760
Yeah, bye.

1248
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,760
Ending note.

1249
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:32,760
We're old now. Goodbye.

1250
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,760
Well, we'll do something cool for our one year anniversary.

1251
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:37,760
February, right?

1252
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,760
Three months. Yeah.

1253
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,760
Dude, you think there's gonna be a Christmas special?

1254
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:47,760
I don't think there's gonna be a Chihaya Food or Christmas special. We really blew it on community to do. Okay. Having those Christmas specials.

1255
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:51,760
I was gonna say, I think most showjoes have a Christmas special.

1256
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:52,760
Okay.

1257
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:54,760
I'm just gonna scroll through.

1258
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,760
Couples holiday.

1259
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:58,760
The episodes. Do not do that.

1260
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:00,760
I'm just gonna scroll through the episode titles.

1261
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,760
What are the thumbnail ruins it?

1262
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:04,760
It's not gonna ruin it.

1263
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:05,760
Sometimes I do.

1264
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:06,760
It's fine.

1265
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:07,760
Don't look.

1266
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,760
None of these have Santa in it.

1267
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:15,760
Well, none of the names reflect what's happening in the show.

1268
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,760
I'm getting zero Santas.

1269
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:21,760
Man, is this even a showjoe? Zero Santas? Let's go to season two.

1270
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:24,760
No, actually it's not. This is Jose.

1271
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,760
No, no Santas. Wait. No, they're just wearing red. That's not Santa.

1272
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,760
It's not looking.

1273
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,760
Season three. Santas? No. Zero Santa spotted.

1274
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:36,760
No, no.

1275
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:41,760
Oh, there's a behind the scenes in the high of Peru and season three, 12 minutes.

01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,760
Okay. Okay.

01:21:44,760 --> 01:22:07,760
