Speaker
Every story, every battle, every model, every child, every dream, every team, it don't matter if you proud, gotta bleed for it Yeah, nigga, gotta bleed for it

Speaker

00:01:01
Speaker
So we're hitting a little bit of a free form today. Absolutely. Absolutely. You gotta like it, man. Look, I figured, you know, ain't nobody say anything about a topic. So let's just, let's just go for it. Yeah. So I guess, uh, I'm most excited about, um,
00:01:21
Speaker
First of all, the animes are returning for that's been a it's been a minute. And I think a lot of the things I've seen they've announced release dates of resuming the shows in July as early as July. So that would be I welcome the idea of a show coming live back besides just Tower of God, which just seems like the only thing running right now live. So I'm excited for that.
00:01:48
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. Tower of God is heating up. I'm all caught up now, per your recommendation. Yeah, that last episode. I missed the last episode. I know that there's one that literally just came out yesterday, I think. I haven't seen that one, but I've seen up until that one. It's definitely getting good. I can tell the lore is going to be very deep in that show. You have to watch it.
00:02:15
Speaker
Yeah, have you guys seen the preview for the, for Re Zero? I haven't seen the preview for it, but I heard it's out. Yeah, that's, that I'm looking forward to as well. Re Zero, definitely looking forward to that. Yeah, I'm, look, I'm not embarrassed to say it. I am definitely looking forward to season two of Fire Force.
00:02:39
Speaker
Actually, I am too. I think I mentioned it in a previous one where, to me, it was really, it came out the gate strong, like fighting, like bolt and same bolt. Actually, he comes out the gate kind of weak, and he kind of picks up at the end. But okay, bad comparison, scratch it. Never mind. But anyway, it came out strong, and then it had that lull, it just sort of died out, but then it picked up again at the end. Yeah, the end was fire, no pun intended. You're probably a big fella.
00:03:11
Speaker
I mean, my man came out the gate kicking diggas in the face. I was like, all right. It's just a show for me. Yeah, you're right, though. It's pretty good. I don't know. I don't know how they're going to play that with him and his brother, though. I feel like he could have took his brother at the end of the last season. So I'm kind of tired of hearing about him and his brother and them explaining shit away with the Adola verse. So hopefully they can tie stuff together a lot better this next season.
00:03:38
Speaker
Yeah, I would love that, actually. Because I do think that's such a crazy crutch to use. I want to know the relationship of Captain of the First Station. Yeah, me too. I don't even know what the Adola Burst is, even though they've explained it a few times. I don't really know what it is. I don't think anybody does. Supposedly, it's just like they call it the Primordial Flame, but they don't really explain it any better than that. It's just kind of vague, the whole show.
00:04:08
Speaker
Yeah, and then they make it sound like it's what powers the entire countryside. But how do you, I guess, capture it? That's what I'm saying. I don't know.
Expectations for Attack on Titan Season 4
00:04:20
Speaker
I don't get it. Because another question I had is, if they're looking for a dollar verse, why don't they just take the dollar verse that's powering that big ass? Those generators or whatever. Yeah. That big ass generator is giving the whole city power. Why don't they just take that a dollar verse? If they're just looking for them, why these specific ones?
00:04:38
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. I completely agree. But you got to catch, you know, stuff in the story like that early. Otherwise, it just fires out of control. And then it's it's out of your hands at a certain point. So that's when you that's when the manga is really helpful. Like if I was actually in I had I don't read the manga on that one. But if I did, I think that would actually have been that would be helpful in that case.
00:05:05
Speaker
What about this attack on Titan season four? It's almost done, thank God. That's how I feel. I don't know. It's going to have to be in two parts, or at least two parts, because the manga's not even finished yet. So if they're talking about this is our final season, either they're going to have to drag it out and wait until the manga wraps up,
00:05:34
Speaker
or they're gonna have to make their own, I guess, anime-specific ending before the manga is done, because their manga's on a monthly basis. So, I don't know. I don't know what they're gonna do with that, but admittedly, I do look forward to seeing it, because Eren is a whole different character right now, so he's tolerable. I don't know. Mikasa's a little scary, but, you know, yeah, I can deal with her.
00:06:03
Speaker
I'm dying for Seven Deadly Sins, the season that was just aired in Japan to come to Netflix.
Animation Quality in Seven Deadly Sins
00:06:12
Speaker
I heard that's supposed to come mid-July to end of July. Oh, I didn't even know about that. Yeah, I want to see that. I heard, though, that some of the animation for big fights like Escanor and Meliodas is not what it's supposed to be. I know they switched studios.
00:06:30
Speaker
Yeah, so I heard that. That's kind of sad. But hopefully, the essence is there. And we can still see niggas get busy. Bro, I don't know if you've read those parts of the manga, but the manga looked good. I wanted to see that kind of animation. You make me feel bad now. I'm worried at this point. Look, that's too much knowledge, right? Knowledge is dangerous.
00:06:56
Speaker
Yeah, I'm I don't know. So I watched Seven Deadly Sins because y'all recommended it and it was good. And I the first season, honestly, they could skip that whole thing. I don't know why we had to do that. But the second season and third season, when it really picked up, I really enjoyed those. The fight scenes are kind of crazy. This fourth season is probably going to be the best just because they got the Ten Commandments or what's left of them, the three, the three left or however many are left. So, yeah, I think it'll be good. I look forward to that.
00:07:26
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, hopefully it's the best one. But if the animation doesn't pull through, the plot sure doesn't. Oh, gosh. You and this gun has been loaded all night, Alex. I'm just saying.
00:07:44
Speaker
I'm just saying it's not, it's definitely not my, it's not my favorite anime. I'd have, it's okay. The, it is pretty, it's very basic to me in terms of just the elements, but the fights are good and I think that the fights are brought to life by the studio. So if we swapped studios on them and it's not, and they don't really kind of come up to par, I don't know. Yeah, that was valid. That was 100% valid.
Baki and Parasite: Action and Themes
00:08:12
Speaker
Hey, Emerson, have you, how far have you gotten in Bucky? Oh, I'm halfway through season two. I'm trying to do season three. Oh, I like it. I was just asking Alex if she was going to watch it too. Yeah, I am. I haven't seen it before though. I saw it pop up on my Netflix and I was curious about it because you guys talked about it before, but I haven't seen it yet.
00:08:41
Speaker
It's ridiculous. It's like, it's kind of common. Like, I don't know how to describe it. This shit is wild. It's wild. Like, I like it because it's like the very premise of it. And you know, my favorite type of villains and all that shit is people that just want to get busy for no reason. Like, they don't have any malicious intent. They just want to get busy. And that's what this is, pretty much. Like, nobody's in there like a world domination or nothing like that.
00:09:11
Speaker
They straight just want to fight. What is it? They say they want to experience defeat. Yeah, but it's like that every season, pretty much. It's just about like if these niggas was giving people the business, they would be Wall Street, is all I'm saying. So it sounds like there's a lot of testosterone in this show. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, honestly, I can't even tell you how long there was a woman character on screen.
00:09:41
Speaker
Yeah. No, think about it, like how very limited women characters in that show, like Bocky's girlfriend, Bocky's girlfriend's mother. And that's it. Oh, man. What about? Oh, sorry to switch subjects on, but what about I finally watched Parasite? Oh, yes, let's talk about that. Let's talk about that, though. Yeah, it was so good. That was really good. I told you.
00:10:12
Speaker
Yeah, that was really, really good. Quality recommendation. All right. What were your thoughts, though? Like, come on, give us give us give us the analysis. Yeah. Go out your whole English teacher. Let's let's dive deep into it. I really liked how they had. So I thought it was cool that they explored sort of those the hybrid characters, but both from a human that became more of a parasite and then a parasite that became more human.
00:10:38
Speaker
through the main character and through the woman who ended up having the child. I thought that was really, really clever because once they did have a sort of convergence at the end where their ideologies and philosophies did overlap quite a bit. And ironically, she was who gave him his healing, which is interesting. It's like he came to terms with, I guess, merging with this other being, the life form.
00:11:08
Speaker
And I guess the other thing I thought was really interesting is that arguably, they really did the creator and the writer did a good job explaining that the parasites are really just predators the way we are, humans are. And so they really do attack
00:11:25
Speaker
they're just hunting in a way. Now, they didn't, the only difference that I think makes it a little bit more sketchy is that they don't technically have to hunt us. They just, we are just happen to be their primary prey, but they don't necessarily have, they could just eat human food and like do their human thing. I think they found out about that though, or found out about eating human food until like, much later in the story after they'd already like,
00:11:50
Speaker
Like they started like experimenting on, you know, they're merging with humans. I didn't think that was something that they knew at the beginning. So it was kind of, it was kind of nice to see how they had to go down that road. And like, I guess the casualties of war along the way. It was just interesting how, how, how, how deep it got and how the times it did. That's one of the things I liked about it so much. Yeah. And the music was insane. Oh, the music was epic. You know, I love a good score.
00:12:18
Speaker
Yeah, that soundtrack was so perfect. It was like techno like pop somehow, but no, I'm not even giving it's not even techno. It's more like electronica or
Character Dynamics in Parasite
00:12:27
Speaker
something. I don't know. It was very good.
00:12:29
Speaker
gothic i don't know one of the things i liked the most about it was this like especially at the time watching it which like you know i was watching it maybe like a week and a half ago two weeks ago so like when like all the protests and stuff started i thought it was interesting in the sense of like miggy's like analysis of the human state and being like
00:12:49
Speaker
none of this shit makes sense as from like an outsider, like from an outsider, like giving their analysis of whatever that thought that was like spot on. Like if a foreigner came into the US and had no idea about like the black play or just anything of like the how the country you and United States was run or anything, it was plopped in and saw it. What was going on? I was like, it probably wouldn't be that far off from like Mickey's analysis of like humans in the show.
00:13:17
Speaker
I'm like, why would you destroy your own community? That makes no sense or something. Right. Yeah, exactly. How like tied together the parasites were like, if you remember in the beginning, they wouldn't kill Mickey solely because he would they wouldn't kill. I forget the guy's name. What is his name? Let me consult Google. This is terrible.
00:13:45
Speaker
They say his name a million times too, so it's pretty embarrassing that I can't remember. Shinichi. Yeah, Shinichi. Oh my goodness. Because he's saying it's kind of weird too, like Shinichi. Shinichi. Right. But I can't even remember what I was saying, but I was just nice to see that. I don't know.
00:14:16
Speaker
Also, it was cool that his hair changed when he like throughout the story when he came back after that trip, after his mom's guiding. And by the way, RIP to another poor anime mom who just had to be mauled for the sake of the plot. Like these men like they I don't know what is you don't want to be written as an anime mom. You just don't want it. You just don't want that smoke. But she's been whipping Goku ass for like
00:14:43
Speaker
How many years now? He just asked in a tournament. Oh my gosh. But yeah, she, yeah, that was really, I thought it was really, you know, anime is cool because of the metaphors and stuff. But what's really cool to me is like, I mean, he literally lost his heart and Miki became his heart. Like that was insane. Like just the thought of it. Like that's really what
00:15:08
Speaker
Yeah, technically he has. I mean, well, let me ask this, do we interpret it is that he, he had a fake artificial heart, like meaning made up of Migi cells or was it that Migi, Migi cells repaired his existing heart and then they just got dispersed throughout the body after it was after his heart, I guess his pulse was stronger than they expected. It repaired his, his, his, his current heart, like his human heart.
00:15:35
Speaker
Yeah, only like 30% of of Mickey went into his heart or something like that. Right? Yeah, I thought 30%.
00:15:45
Speaker
Go ahead, I'm sorry. No, I was just saying, I think that in the act of repaying his human heart, because his human heart was pierced when Mickey joined with it, because that was right when he made that transformation of being more heartless as a human, and he became essentially more like Mickey as opposed to more like the old Shinichi was, when he picked up the dog and was about to throw it in the trash can and shit like that.
00:16:09
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. What I thought, oh, I also have to ask you all this. So when he, remember in his consciousness, how Migi appeared to him, how he appeared sort of like with a skeleton, he looked more skeletal. And Migi was looking at him and he said, Oh, you look different to me too, in this state, like, and we never really got to see like what Shinichi looked like to
00:16:32
Speaker
to Migi, I guess, from his perspective. And I'm curious, like, what do you guys think he looked like? Did he look more parasitic to Migi? Or I don't know, we never really, I was kind of disappointed. I wanted to be able to see how Migi viewed our main character. Because we got to see how Migi, I guess, viewed himself in his consciousness.
00:16:53
Speaker
I'm not going to lie on that, oh, you go, Kwon. No, I was just going to say, I think there could be two ways. One, because they didn't show Shinichi's reflection, maybe Shinichi's beginning to look more like Miji, too. I don't know. So maybe what we saw was a reflection of it, too. This is me putting on my English teacher reach hat, though. Or I don't know. The other one could be, I kind of like my first theory more. I'm going to stick with that one.
00:17:25
Speaker
Yeah, no, I was gonna say, I thought that he, I thought that the fact that he couldn't see him as his self, he couldn't see him at all because at the beginning, which is like not really a good answer, but like at the beginning, you remember like, Miggy kept talking about how the parasites were a higher life form than humans. So it was like, you don't see anybody that you consider yourself higher than as your equals. So like, there wasn't a need for him to see him.
00:17:55
Speaker
So that's how come I looked at it because I thought it was like when he talked about it, you saw like a black fog or something. Yeah, you didn't see like exactly what he looked like, but I thought it was more so a metaphorical for it doesn't matter what he looks like, because he didn't see him as an equal. So he wouldn't see him as a skeletal, but he doesn't see him as anything. Which I thought like it also ties into the end where like, you know, they finally agreed to be equals, which was interesting.
00:18:23
Speaker
especially in light of when they had that. Forgot what his name was, but the crazy strong one and Mickey was just like, I'm not going to murder him. But like he was killing all other parasites the whole show. Yep. The one that the one that the other girl, what's her name? The one with the who became a mother. Mm hmm. She created him. Yeah.
00:18:52
Speaker
I think her name is Ryoko. Ryoko, I think. It was a monster. Yeah, I think so. Another character. Mm-hmm. Yeah, no, yeah. I mean, first of all, that death was like one of the saddest deaths. Oh, my gosh. Oh, it really was. It really, really... What did y'all think about the dude with the crazy guy, Eragami, the one who's basically like a murderer and who can identify the parasites?
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh, man, this was wild. Like he knew some of those people weren't parasites and he was sick in the police on him anyway. Like at that point, he was there for pandemonium. It was ridiculous. But wasn't the dude that was leading the charge the one that was also like he was going to shoot them anyway because they weren't on the first floor?
00:19:44
Speaker
Eventually, but that's not he was getting people were getting killed before he made that declaration. I think like our boy was just setting people up for the kill. I will say I did appreciate that they found.
00:19:57
Speaker
they found a way to keep it interesting when they had that whole scanner. Because at that point, when you had the scanner, it was kind of like a cheat. They knew immediately each time who it was, so I was really interested in figuring out how they were going to do it to get past that. And having them shoot the scanner themselves, the police shoot the scanner themselves was a great way, to me at least.
00:20:20
Speaker
No, no, no. The craziest thing though was the fact that the leader of the parasites was a human. Like that was also really, really weird to me. What did y'all think about that?
00:20:32
Speaker
just kind of I don't know, it was such a paradox of like what they do a lot of playing with like what's human and what isn't human and who are the real monsters here. And I think that it's like it was a contortion of human nature by saying that of course it's a human that's masterminding this whole thing because only a human is capable of this type of evil or something. I don't know.
00:20:54
Speaker
It was also crazy to see a human that so many of the parasites respected, especially considering the last guy that Shinichi fought, whoever that guy was, like super murderous. He had four or five different parasites in him. And it was just crazy to see that he, of all people, who was the most lethal of them all, had respect for this human man. I just thought that was ridiculously crazy.
00:21:19
Speaker
Well, I thought it was also I saw I thought it was one of those things where he the respect for him and even like the the idea of him wanting to align himself with the parasites was like, it was a logical move. You remember, like the parasites kept talking throughout the whole series about like humans being illogical. And if you know that you're out outmanned in like,
00:21:42
Speaker
in terms of strength, intelligence and whatnot. Like it is logical for you to align yourself with someone, right? So like not even the fact that he just aligned himself, but then he like made available the resources and kind of helped them navigate sort of the nuances that they didn't know before, kind of gained their trust. So I thought that's why they respected him so much and they were willing to listen. And then also like just like- You could teach them things too and help them leverage position in society to protect them.
00:22:13
Speaker
Yeah. And I think it's also the idea of like, like in the idea of like, you know, whenever you have these tropes where there's a monster that's going to destroy the world and then we're going to remake the world in our own image and like people join because they feel like they're going to be guaranteed a portion of that new world. I think that's also something that came to mind for me, which was like, oh, does he think that when the parasites run the world that they're going to remember that he helped them get to this status? Yeah, like protect him in a way.
00:22:43
Speaker
Yeah. What did you think about the well, I'll just say I think that they kind of threw away that one guy, the character with the mouth, the who has the parasite in his mouth. Oh, I think he was kind of for comic relief, but I feel like they could have done more with his character. Oh, absolutely. But I mean, it was interesting seeing him fight from his face like that looks so uncomfortable. Yeah, that did. Yeah.
00:23:13
Speaker
I'd say that that that character, I think they could have done explored him a little more. But I guess they didn't have time because they were compressing all this other all these other really awesome plot points in and just were like, yeah, we'll just be he'll just be for fun. You guys watch any other anime recently?
00:23:35
Speaker
Oh, let's see. Oh, I got one that we need to come back ASAP.
Upcoming Anime: Vinland Saga and Promise Neverland
00:23:42
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. Left a hole in my heart and I need it to be filled. Yeah, wait, when is it going? Do we know when that comes back yet? Have they announced? Not that I know of, but I can definitely check. Yeah, I need that and I need Promise Neverland to come back. Finally, Jesus.
00:24:05
Speaker
I need that. Thomas Netherland has been like just sleeping for a while. So they're saying that the New England saga won't be back until 2021. Oh, that's hurt. I could actually cry. I need my man, Dorfin.
00:24:24
Speaker
bro, I want to see what the fuck they're going to do. That nigga is just an animal. But I hope he ends up training him because once he does, like you, you won't be able to kill Thorfinn. Let's just, let's just be real about it. Absolutely. That point.
00:24:41
Speaker
I mean, I just love the fact that he was so strong, and he's the strongest person that we've seen throughout in terms of raw power, and you actually see their exploits live, because we know Thorfinn's dad is the strongest. But then to see Thor kill kind of admit that Thor's is even stronger than him, and it's not even close, I'm like, damn, that man must have been an animal in his prime. Right?
00:25:11
Speaker
Oh, man. I think everybody gets busy. I think it was crazy, though, they're like, I'm sure Thor kill knew Thorfinn was his nephew at a certain point and still kept trying to fight this man. I just thought that was like it just seems kind of kind of interesting. Like, you know, if you know if you know your long lost nephew is right here and he part of your family, why are you still trying to kill? But then again, he was trying to kill Thor's too. So.
00:25:39
Speaker
Yeah, he killed. He doesn't seem to respect family bonds. Right, at all. Or maybe he's doing it out of respect. He's like, I can't show you mercy. Your dad wouldn't like that. I have a question. Actually, I have a question for both of you. OK. Have either of you seen Black Butler?
Black Butler: Themes and Comparisons
00:26:00
Speaker
Oh, I have not. I've heard of it, though. I haven't either, yeah. All right, so I'm going to tell y'all what I think Black Butler is.
00:26:09
Speaker
And after you watch it, please tell me if I'm correct. OK. OK. So I think that Black Butler, so if I could describe the show, I would be like, you know, it'd be like if Hisoka was Gohm's butler, essentially. And I think it's just like them playing that life out.
00:26:30
Speaker
That's what it feels like, because the butler's ridiculously overpowered, creepy looking. They give off pervy, homoerotic vibes. It definitely feels like the relationship that Gona and Hisoka have. And they're both cultivating them to a point where they can consume them. It's very interesting. That sounds like the problem is nothing. Yeah. Minus the vibes. Yeah. I think the vibes are kind of ridiculous.
00:27:02
Speaker
No, I can watch that's on Netflix, right? I think part of it is but you probably need Hulu or I will find an account. Or I'll find you know, I got a hit up was that 123 movies or something? No. I sent you a link a while back and listen, I think I can find it again. You can I'll be lovely. I'll send it to you to Alex.
00:27:32
Speaker
Okay. Look at this. Look at this family bond. Sharing my secrets with you. Yeah, I think my go to site when I don't know where to find something is something called like kiss anime. Oh, yeah. That's why I was watching Doro Hidoro before I got on Netflix.
00:27:57
Speaker
which is an interesting show. You should give it a try if you wanna, it's a trip though, it's a journey. It's definitely a journey. It's not like my number one or not something I would like voluntarily watch. I only watched it because one of my friends told me to watch it. I'm not even like, I'm like five episodes in, but yeah, it's interesting. It's an interesting story. Remind me the title again. Doro Hidoro. Okay.
00:28:25
Speaker
Oh, you know what else we haven't talked about, surprisingly?
Anime Updates and Breakfast Foods
00:28:30
Speaker
MHA. I can't wait for that next season to come. Oh, me too. That's going to be wild. I was like, because we forgot MHA. We forgot. I know how Q has another season coming. Black Clover. Are you caught up? Black Clover's coming back soon. Look, I'm not going to lie. I haven't watched that episode of Black Clover.
00:28:49
Speaker
So if you can you can probably I would say you can skip the first couple episodes Because of this all the screaming our main character does is just like ear piercing But you do have to know you do have to watch them to understand like what's going on So it's kind of like if you can get through the ear piercing screaming. It's good. I like it I want to watch it only because in jump force black meteorite is the craziest move So yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to give it a try
00:29:21
Speaker
It's on Hulu, I think, so I'm gonna do that too. Let me write that down. I watch Black Clover on Crunchyroll. Ooh, Crunchy. I love me some Crunchyroll. Yeah, shout out, sponsors, please. You're right. Oh, I just thought I'm gonna start Food Wars, because I need a cooking show to watch, and I'm tired of house kitchen.
00:29:49
Speaker
are great things about that. I actually never seen Food Wars. I think I would, I think I would enjoy it. I don't know. It does seem a little dramatic, though, a little theatrical, but I think that adds to it, though. You said it has ads. No, I said no, I said no, it adds to it, the theatrical aspect of it.
00:30:11
Speaker
But some of the fanservice is ridiculous in these shows with food. Yeah, they straight up have a full-on orgasm while taking a bite. All of the way. It's ridiculous. I ain't never had a good one in my life. At least not edible. We could probably learn a lot about each other just by knowing what we think is the perfect meal.
00:30:38
Speaker
Okay, well, since we just done stuff around, Alex, why don't you read the word? That's a really hard call because I like a lot of different food. But um, um, oh my gosh, that's a really tough call. I really like Japanese food, like Japanese hibachi is always like, is always a win. Really good sushi, but I'm picky with my sushi. So I also really like
00:31:05
Speaker
Oh, no, it's a really good I like seafood a lot. So seafood and soul food always always a vibe. Very good. Gosh, kind of day you have it. That sounds lovely. Yeah, so I think I don't know. I guess I just pick types of food. I just pick whole categories. But yeah, I'd have to think about like my specific dish, what I would want. What about you guys? Kai won.
00:31:37
Speaker
Oh my goodness. I'm a breakfast man. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all of it. Right now, I would have some pancakes with some delicious pork sausage and maybe some scrambled eggs.
00:32:04
Speaker
And to top it off, I'm gonna let y'all in on, I'm gonna put y'all on some game right now. You get some cold applesauce and you toast some toast, put some butter on it, and then put the applesauce, rub it on the bread over the butter. I'm telling you, that's, it'll change your life. It just sounds like apple butter, like, I mean, it sounds good, but it's delicious.
00:32:25
Speaker
Yeah, it sounds like you're hitting up that all-star breakfast from Waffle House. At least it was my spot. I say you stole your recipe. Yeah, no, that sounds actually really good. One of my favorite brunch places is this place called First Watch, which is basically just a breakfast spot. It's really good.
00:32:48
Speaker
I like breakfast because my favorite meals are when you can get a whole bunch of little things that put together a meal. I've never really been one that just wants one dish. When you order pasta, it's just the pasta and that's all you get. It's like, no, I got to have a little bit of bread, a little bit of this, maybe a side. I don't know. I want more than one component to my meal.
00:33:13
Speaker
I really variety. Yes, that's what I think is really good about breakfast food because you get like, you never just get like, I can't go to breakfast spot and just get pancakes. Like, that's it. I'd be all no, but where's my sausage? Like, where's the fruit? Where's the this? I don't know. That's perfectly valid. I agree with that. I too am a breakfast man, but so I don't copy Kwan. I'll give an original answer.
00:33:39
Speaker
I'm Caribbean.
Caribbean and Creole Food Appreciation
00:33:41
Speaker
My mom's gun is in my dad's from Barbados. So like, I grew up eating a lot of like roti curry. So that's like my favorite. Pancakes are also like my favorite. I love pain like I had.
00:33:54
Speaker
two weeks where I only ate pancakes for every meal, every day straight. It was wild. It was the wildest thing I actually lost weight. Like it was the weirdest thing. Yeah. I came out of it like more athletic. It was the craziest thing ever. You must get some carbs.
00:34:13
Speaker
Apparently, all I did, I literally, I could tell you my day because it was the same thing. It was over there summer break. I was in high school and I had, woke up, had pancakes, three pancakes, took a nap, woke up, had three pancakes, took a nap for dinner, it's dinner so you gotta have a larger portion, four pancakes, sleep, and that was it. Like I did like maybe in between- So do you do syrup? Do you do syrup with your pancakes or fruit?
00:34:39
Speaker
Um, I'm more of a syrup guy. I like, uh, um, but I can dabble with fruit if I'm in a restaurant. Um,
00:34:49
Speaker
So if I go out to a fancy restaurant, it's like, well, I mean, look, if I'm paying for the surface, I might as well. At home, it's, I need, just throw me some syrup and I'm good. And like you said before, I like the variety. I'm more of a, these days I eat a lot more turkey bacon than pork sausage, but I could, I could fuck up some pork sausage. Pork sausage is delicious. I will admit, I, I, I love me some pork sausage too, but my, my thighs tell me that I need to stick with the turkey.
00:35:19
Speaker
Oh, we like to pick. We like to pick, Alex. You say it. So, yeah. No, that sounds delicious. All of y'all food sounds really good. I guess I'll throw in an extra thing in here. So my mom went to college. She went to Xavier in Louisiana. And so I grew up eating a lot of Creole food.
00:35:43
Speaker
And that is, that's straight flames. Like you haven't lived until you've had some tropical world oysters. So, so good. Oh my gosh. That's not even where my head was at y'all.
00:36:02
Speaker
I was talking about thighs. I was talking about thighs and apparently aphrodisiacs in the same sentence too soon. Too soon. Too soon. Too close. Talk about fan service. Oh my God. This is why we needed some more estrogen on the show every once in a while. I'm down for some estrogen.
Parenting Styles: Discipline Debate
00:36:34
Speaker
Oh, man. This wouldn't be funny if I didn't know who you were. Oh, my gosh, absolutely. Bro, speaking of which, Kawad, I have a funny story. Alex, you might find this humorous.
00:36:46
Speaker
But if you knew me at Kawat or saw me at Kawat together and understand that dynamic, it might hit home a little better. But I was having a conversation with this woman, and she was essentially just talking about how she doesn't plan on disciplining her children. She has children. In terms of whippings. She doesn't want to spank her kids or anything like that. You clearly just imposed your own opinions because apparently discipline is only in spanking form.
00:37:12
Speaker
for you? No, no, that's what she said. That's what she said. Okay, so she's not planning on spanking kids, but she will disappoint her children. Just not spanking. Yeah, like time out, taking time, grounding, taking stuff away and all that stuff. And she asked me if I thought that I would discipline my child physically or not. And I was like, well,
00:37:32
Speaker
my child's going to have an uncle named Kawan who is bigger than me. And as long as the child is aware that they could go tell Uncle Kawan that daddy hit him, I'm pretty sure I would get my ass beat too. So there's no ass who's been sitting in my household. I mean, sometimes, sometimes, realistically, I don't know. I'm not going to go too deep into it. Sometimes kids need confirmation.
00:37:59
Speaker
A very tempered hand, definitely, but sometimes kids need confirmation. Absolutely. No, I get that. People get grown a little bit too fast and things about him. Yeah. So me being in the mental health field. Oh gosh. Yeah. I actually, I don't know. I think different kids, I think discipline
00:38:22
Speaker
I think it's important to know because different people need different things. I was the kid that you could just look at me funny and I'd be like, what did I do? That was me. But then there's other kids that need a little bit more, they need you to show them exactly what you're looking for and punishments need to be a little bit more physical.
00:38:45
Speaker
I don't think that they need to be necessarily like spanked or classically beaten the way that honestly, if we really kind of go back to the archives of our memories, I'm sure that there were some questionable moments that didn't that didn't need to happen. But I do think that's why I said a tempered hand, though, like you definitely have to, you know, pick and choose your battles.
00:39:06
Speaker
Yeah, but also I think you just need to use the minimum amount of whatever, the minimum amount of force that actually gives you the discipline that they need and hopefully if you, but at the end of the day, I don't judge people that do use that, but it's something that I would love to avoid if I could do that at any at all possible. I would do my absolute best to find alternative options. Absolutely. But sometimes, I mean, you just have to do what works for you.
00:39:36
Speaker
But that starts getting great. But that does get. Very fast. It's not like the oysters. Oh, my gosh. Mm hmm. Is there any other show I'm excited
SAO's Final Season and Boruto: Filler Loyalty
00:39:55
Speaker
about? Oh, so I'll say I'm I'm actually excited for the new SAO season to kind of wrap up. The final season of SAO looks good to me.
00:40:06
Speaker
So I think that comes back in July too. Oh, I need to, I need to catch up on that. Oh, and the anime of Boruto is starting to actually catch up to the, to the manga. We're going to get some manga overlapped content soon. I'm looking forward to that because I need a guy to meet. Oh gosh.
00:40:27
Speaker
No, you don't really it's, it's only good up through basically the first movie, like the Bordeaux movie. And then it starts to get they have so much filler in so much it was ironic, though, is it's none of it's considered filler because it is technically all being I guess overlooked by the
00:40:47
Speaker
kodachi or who i think that's his name of this particular one the one who is the one who is helping write this show that he is overseeing the the direction of the anime so it's all technically not filler but it's very filler like i mean i don't care label it filler or not it's painful there's a lot of painful episodes but but if you can kind of wade through that it's it's good like i think
00:41:15
Speaker
I'm sticking with it because I'm loyal to Naruto. Come on, Hokage. Yeah, I'm sticking through because I'm loyal to Naruto, but it's worth it. It's good. I think it's worth it. How are the fight scenes in Boruto? They could be better. But there's some, they're every once in a while they have a good fight up in there. I'm not, it's not all bad.
00:41:43
Speaker
I give it a chance. I give it benefit. I give it a lot of slack because of the loyalty I have to Naruto. Fair enough. Fair enough. So can't even lie. I was thinking about like watching it mostly because of the whole like of them going back in time. So a couple of that. Yeah.
00:42:11
Speaker
Yeah, you know, I love me some Tariah. So I was like, I was thinking about that, but we'll see. Yeah, don't you have to pick somebody up soon? Go on. Yeah, actually, I'm actually about to head out soon. Thank you for reminding them. Damn. They would have been waiting outside like. They would have been walking, big fella.
00:42:43
Speaker
I hope them cuts are strong. Oh, my goodness. Were you taking a motorcycle? No, God, no. No, no, no. I don't even like putting people on the back of my bike, to be honest. Because then I can't speed. It's harder to maneuver. They got to know what they're doing if you're going to be on the back of a bike, just because it's all about how you shift your weight and wear and win and all kind of stuff like that. It's too complicated.
00:43:12
Speaker
Such is life.
