Speaker 1 0:11

Thank you and welcome to another episode of the Carolina Taco Podcast. I am Afro and I am here with my co-host.

Speaker 2 0:19

Lexi.

Speaker 1 0:21

Like I said, welcome back, yeah, welcome back. So we're trying something different streaming on YouTube and shit, because I don't keep up with posting the videos. I post clips every day that go to YouTube because you know it's just something I use and I just post those things automatically, but I'm actually posting the whole episode of the podcast episode. I don't do that. So trying to stream a thing seeing how it works, should work better, because the episode will be on YouTube and we'll see how it goes. So the way that we thought this out, we see what we've been each of us have been up to since we last spoke. So actually, ok, I will. I'm not going to say I know what you've been up to, but I know some news that you are excited about. You're I don't know what. Do you call him?

Speaker 2 1:20

My daddy.

Speaker 1 1:25

Whatever you call him, whatever you call him that motherfucker, he's going on a stadium tour.

Speaker 2 1:33

Yes, yes, he's going on a stadium tour. Yes, yes, he is going on a stadium tour.

Speaker 1 1:37

How many and you're in? Did you already buy tickets?

Speaker 2 1:41

They go on sale tomorrow, so I will be getting those tomorrow.

Speaker 1 1:46

And, if you don't know, we're talking about the weekend. Yeah, because I texted you today and I was like are you? Going to that weekend joint? You were like yeah, of course. And I was like, hey, you going to that weekend joint? You were like yeah, of course. And I was like, yeah, I'm not surprised. So, what, what? My question is when was it? What made you get into the weekend?

Speaker 2 2:08

in the first place. You want my whole weekend story I guess. Alright, so I was at work one day and I was listening to pandora. But and just tell you how old this is it was a long time it was huh yeah.

Speaker 1 2:23

So yeah, this is a long time ago.

Speaker 2 2:24

Yeah, this is a long time ago, right when pandora's like popping and yes, xo till we overdose, correct. But I would just listen to it and intuition came on and I was just like forward because, like, if you listen to his early mixtapes, shut up, shut up. If you listen to his early mixtapes, it's just stuff that you don't typically hear. It's like really dark, it's really moody, it's really drug filled. I'm in my early 20s, so I went through, found all the mixtapes and I started listening to the mixtapes and then, like, just went down that rabbit hole and, um, I've been stuck ever since.

Speaker 1 3:03

It has been fucking 14 years and yes and you've been to his concerts before yes does he give a good, does he do a good show?

Speaker 2 3:16

yes, that that's like no questions down, like he does a really good show, like and like I guess for me he kind of set the bar pretty high, like I've been to some shows lately where it's just like you ain't got no energy, why do I even pay for a ticket to come see you? But for him, like you're getting your money's worth, it's always a good show, and so that's one thing that he does pride himself on is like delivering on every show. So I'm not gonna give like the whole album away, but in the latest album, hurry up tomorrow, there's a song in there that he talks about an incident that he had that was really traumatic for him. He was playing at the SoFi Stadium when he did his live version of the tour and while he was there he could not sing, while he was on stage, just voice shot gone, and that's never happened to him in all the time he's been touring.

Speaker 2 4:16

I think he started touring maybe like a year or two after like the first like mixtape drop, and so you gotta think about that's like over a decade he's been doing this and like he couldn't do it and he loves to like he loves being on tour, um, so they kind of like traumatized him and kind of like put this whole album in perspective for him. So this is why he's killing off his weekend character, so he won't be releasing any more music under the weekend moniker so where's he gonna be going?

Speaker 2 4:48

his actual name more than likely his actual name.

Speaker 1 4:51

Abel his name is Abel, like Cain and Abel yes, like Cain and Abel.

Speaker 2 4:56

His name Abel. His name is Abel. Like Cain and Abel, yes, like.

Speaker 1 4:57

Cain and Abel. His name is Abel. Shit Damn Damn. He should have went by like a symbol or something like Prince did Go ahead. Sorry, oh my.

Speaker 2 5:04

God. Anyways, don't start that, because he already is like changing his XO. Like now it's 00XO and I like what's going on here? I don't know yet, but I'm not changing my tattoo. My tattoo was so that that is why I love him so much. Like he, if you know, the weekend is going to be on tour, like you're going to get a good show, no matter where you are sitting. It's just that, like back then, he was really mysterious, like the first few years. Like you wouldn't get no interviews from this man. You barely heard this man speak.

Speaker 2 5:36

That was the big shit yeah, that was a big shit, and like he didn't. He didn't have his face on his album covers or anything like, so nobody don't really knew what he looked like some people.

Speaker 1 5:45

You know it's crazy. I've never heard the weekend speak until I watched him on American Dad.

Speaker 2 5:53

Wait what.

Speaker 1 5:55

Yeah, he was on an episode of it. He was on an episode that was my first time hearing his speaking voice and I was like shit that nigga can talk, because everything that he does was just singing, so you never hear him talk. And I was just like so that's what he sounds like. Okay, cool, got it. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy. But when you um speaking of, I was thinking about that, when I asked you that question about the concerts and I was thinking like in chat.

Speaker 2 6:26

They're like oh, we're missing, oh, we can show prices. I do too. I know these tickets are gonna go on sale tomorrow and I'm already know they're probably gonna be like boo, coos of money. Am I going to pay it?

Speaker 1 6:36

yes, but it's gonna be a lot I'm gonna spend it.

Speaker 2 6:40

I mean I love shows. You guys know I love concerts and so like I spread no expense I was.

Speaker 1 6:48

When I was thinking about that, I was like what artists would I actually go see in concert? Because it's not a lot of artists that I would go to concert. Right, and I was saying I was artists, would I actually go see in concert? Because there's not a lot of artists that I would go see in concert, right. And I was saying I was like who would I go see Islandstone? I would see Islandstone in concert.

Speaker 2 7:05

There is a group called huh. No, keep going, keep going.

Speaker 1 7:09

Jamiroquois.

Speaker 2 7:11

Okay.

Speaker 1 7:12

But Jamiroquois doesn't come to America. Jamiroquois probably hasn't been in America since like the 90s, right, and then I think that's it because those are the only. It's a British artist named Omar who. I listen to and he's actually touring in America this year, but I don't think his location. I don't know if he's just doing all West Coast or whatever. Why don't you?

Speaker 2 7:39

look it up and just go.

Speaker 1 7:40

I don't know. I can't even think of the last concert I went to. The last concert I went to was there's an artist from DC, her name is Moo Moo Fresh and I saw her concert from. Dc. Her name is Moo Moo Fresh Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 7:58

And I saw her back in Maryland.

Home Buying and Real Estate Tips

Speaker 1 8:01

She was cool. And then I saw Corsette Michelle before the whole Trump shit, yeah. And I saw Hiatus Coyote. I actually got free tickets to that from a website called Soul Bounce. I entered a contest and I actually won and I got to see Hiatus Coyote and Raleigh from their first album and it was fucking amazing. Yeah, I was just fucking sitting there thinking like that, so as a weekend artist, so as a weekend fan, if somebody was like I want to start listening to the weekend what I'm starting off at the trilogy yeah, that is a good like, okay, like anybody coming into the weekend, you have to start off at the trilogy.

Speaker 2 8:45

You have to understand why we loved him from the beginning. Like you can't step in and come in at like star boy and understand I mean at that point, like all his good music was already like pop washed, whatever you want to call it and just like, yeah, so I can't even start you there. I gotta start you at the trilogy and you gotta go through each one of them. You ain't no skipping, ain't no jumping. You gonna start the very first track of the trilogy. You're gonna go all the way down to the end and I might cut out the bonus tracks. You really don't need them, except for I guess I'll keep 28, 28, but yeah, but I don't know. No, I was gonna say like I mean I, I might can start you over, hurry up tomorrow, because he does pay homage to his first song on his like trilogy, which is high for us. So the last song on his new cd, the last like 10, 15 seconds, starts up where he started and it goes full circle.

Speaker 1 9:49

I got you I uh, somebody said that I really liked your miracle and I'm like, I'm like, yeah, because it was just something. I don't know. I like to miracle because of it's a group, but when I saw my first time seeing virtual insanity blew my mind, cause it's a white dude singing his ass off and it's smooth, right, and then from there he has his whole whole. The whole catalog of them is just jamiroquai was the first group that I ever heard use a ditchery, had a ditchery du player in their band, so, and I like that shit so much that I have one and learn how to play it. I'm so fucking serious. Their trombone player is also the didgeridoo player and I got one for Christmas and I learned how to play it. So that's why I would want to go to one of their concerts and shit like that. But I'm happy that you're going to be going and you know, and you said it's Atlanta, right.

Speaker 2 10:53

Yeah, either I'm going to the Atlanta show or I'm going to go to the Vegas show okay that's what's up.

Speaker 1 10:59

That's cool, but yeah, I guess you know what else have you been up to lately? Looking around for houses actually that one that you sent me, I was like, ooh, new construction, that's nice yeah.

Speaker 2 11:17

So like the house I plan on buying either way is going to be a new construction home, like I don't want somebody else to use things, yeah, anyway. So yeah, but I'm still going to get it like inspected and all that stuff. It's just I didn't realize how much goes into home buying until you first started getting into home buying. Yeah, y'all, y'all didn't embrace me nothing, and it's so much and I'm just like let me help you out here, y'all.

Speaker 1 11:47

This is what I went through. So this is the house and I mean that was the second house that I was going that second choice the first choice that I was going for was cheaper and had it through a USDA loan, which was amazing because I would have kept 12 grand in my pocket. But because I couldn't get internet out there and I was going to be using satellite internet and I was working from home, it wasn't't practical for me, but it was beautiful. It had like a shipping container on there. The person turned it into like a shed at a workshop. She was going to let me keep it. It had like a wood burning fireplace in it, huge crawl space deck, it was like over a lake and shit. It was nice and it was like 280. Not bad, yeah, I know it was nice. And it was like two 80. Yeah, no, it was sick. I went so much in the process of paying due diligence, getting the septic cleaned out because I was ready to go Like I was.

Speaker 1 12:47

I was. Yeah, I pulled the trigger on that and it wasn't too far from where I am now, and the one thing I would say is make sure that the house fits your accommodations. Seriously, do that. Remember that your realtor that you get is working for you.

Speaker 2 13:05

I don't have a realtor.

Speaker 1 13:06

I would think about getting one. I'm serious. I would think I would think about getting one, just because depending and here's the thing you probably, with your network, you can probably find somebody that you can really trust, that can really find you some good shit my network?

Speaker 2 13:22

yes, I know nobody hey, forgot it so.

Speaker 1 13:26

So I would definitely recommend getting one and look at what you can use resource wise to get as much money as you can and save as much as you can. Look up if you're in a place. If you find a place that has an address, look up that address, put it into that usda website and see if if you can use that it's a lot of shit. Use it and just save as much money as you fucking can. When you buy a fucking house, man it. I would definitely get a realtor, though, and not go into this shit like by yourself, because a realtor will be able to walk you through these steps, especially as a I guess yeah.

Speaker 1 14:11

Yeah, it'll, it'll help you a lot. My friend, carol like, recommended me to her realtor that she used for two houses that she's bought and it's been a great experience and she was really good. She knew what I was looking for. I told her I don't want no HOAs, I want to be out. And she she was like how about this, this, this, and that this place needs a lot of work done. Do you want to do that? You might not be able to get a loan for that, but she knew what the fuck she was talking about and she got it done. It was good.

Speaker 1 14:46

So, yeah, that house shit it's a lot. And you got to have all your P's and Q's. You can't be spending money, especially when you're like deep into it, cause they're going to be looking at every fucking account that you got, every account. You got the truck when I bought that truck, right, I bought the house and I and I was talking to my, the person who was helping me with the mortgage and stuff, and I was like, hey, can I buy this truck now? And she was like, how much is it? I was like it's like 13 and I was just gonna pay any cash and she was like, yeah, you're fine, you'll still have enough everything. I was like, all right, cool, went straight to the dealership, got my truck you yeah and I don't and get a realtor find somebody.

Speaker 2 15:29

Okay, fine, I found a realtor, okay, that, that's.

Speaker 1 15:31

That's one problem, I still gotta find a place, so like, trust me, you're gonna find a place.

Speaker 2 15:38

No, there's tons of places I mean it's true, but then like I'm not picky per se, but there's certain things that I want in my home and I don't want a house that, like everybody else has you know what I mean so like it makes it even harder. So now I'm looking at do I want to go to custom build route? It's like it's so much I just want to be done with it. I just want to be like alright, can we move now? I don't want to do all this extra shit to get out Custom build route is nice, it's really nice Buying land and just going doing what you want.

Speaker 1 16:17

That's good. Or here's another suggestion. You might not like it, but and just just listen to me Cause it's not bad Buy, buy the land right, Get your septic and all that shit together, and I would say you're not gonna like this, I know you're not. Do you want stairs or do you want a rancher? Yes, I want a two-story home oh okay, never mind see, because I was gonna say you could find like really dope ass trailers yeah, like I'm not opposed to that like growing up my mom had like bought a double wide.

Speaker 2 16:54

We stayed in like I'm not opposed to that. Like growing up my mom had like bought a double wide. We stayed in a double like.

Speaker 1 16:58

I'm not opposed to that, but I wanted to start at home I wish I would have done that shit, but I like ranches too, because I grew up in two-story houses and I hated that shit. It's cool, but you know it's, it's not that great to me Shit. Okay, we're Anime Tech and Gaming Podcast, okay.

Speaker 2 17:18

You act like we can't venture off sometime, I'm pretty sure we can venture off sometime Adulting. Being adults.

Career Decisions and Anime Reflections

Speaker 1 17:27

So I really haven't been up to much or anything. Interviews and shit, a lot of just you know. Yeah, we looked at your resume, but we're gonna go with somebody else that's just.

Speaker 2 17:42

I do not like, I hate that. Like why tell me you went with somebody? Just I feel like I didn't get the role, that's it, that's it, I don't care. Don't tell me, you went with a better candidate. You found somebody to work, cool, just don't email me at all. I get no communication.

Speaker 1 17:55

I get that. I totally get that. I don't mind it because I'm just so used to it now. But it's also to the point where you Alright, so I get those shits on the weekends. That's how you know a job, really don't want your ass. You get a fucking Because you know it's automated. You know it's automated because they probably sent that shit out on Friday saying, all right, we're going to reject this and you get it.

Speaker 2 18:23

Saturday or.

Speaker 1 18:23

Sunday Yep, so that's one thing. Today I signed up for basically joining a kind of getting a apprenticeship with becoming a elevator mechanic.

Speaker 2 18:40

Ooh.

Speaker 1 18:41

Yeah, I was looking into it. I've been thinking about it for a while and I was just like let me just go ahead and see what happens with this and find the union that's close to me and all that shit and sign up for it.

Speaker 2 18:55

I don't know how, I don't know how, I don't know how I feel you won't be in tech anymore.

Speaker 1 19:02

I'm gonna see, I'm gonna try to find a way to put both of those shits and put them, motherfuckers, together together do some automation yeah, I'm gonna think about that shit for real, for real, um. So I was like, okay, let's, let's do that. And you know, it's just a plan to die every day. Going through the process, sometimes I just sit and just like staring to the wall and shit like that, because I'm yeah. Yeah, we're not going to open up this role. We're're kind of gonna go a different direction with it.

Speaker 2 20:05

You know, shit like that it's just the ups and downs speaking of shit like that, like it's not even just you right now. It's like these federal employees. We're gonna talk about it because like it's kind of hit close to home and so, like you got these federal employees who are like out here, they're going to be going through that too, because they don't know if they're going to have a role or not with all these changes that the government has been doing. So imagine like they are literally sitting in limbo and this.

Speaker 1 20:37

This makes this makes me more confident in going into a trade, then I mean, going into tech is a trade. Like there are each like or like. Industry has a color, like you have white collar, blue collar, I think the tech is like purple or something like that, and nurses is like, uh, blue, like a I don't know like purple or something like that, and nurses is like uh, blue, like a I don't know pink or whatever, something like that. I don't fucking know, but it's, I think, going the trades is where shit is going to go into. I mean, it's probably already growing as it is now, but you know, after almost 10 years of this shit, of the tech shit and applying to jobs, new job comes up.

Speaker 1 21:23

I'm not even looking at shit that's been posted past weeks. I'm looking like in the most in the past 24 hours, in the past 24 hours. That's what I'm looking at. You know what I mean, so I'm like, all right, let's what I'm looking at. You know what I mean, so I'm like, all right, let's see what's going on. As soon as I see that shit like three hours has been up, a hundred applicants already applied to this shit.

Speaker 2 21:47

Thanks for them. Cyber roles.

Speaker 1 21:49

Yeah, already done. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 21:52

So it's just like yeah, it's just like what the fuck? What the fuck, what the fuck can I do? So it's it's looking into other options and, you know, just doing what I gotta do just to get money in my pocket. That's what I've been up to, but we kind of you know already 24 minutes into this episode. But it's cool though. But something else that I did this past weekend, which, I'm going to admit, fucked up my head after watching 26 episodes of this shit After like up to 15, I was like whoa, this came out in 95, right.

Speaker 2 22:30

You've been so excited to talk about this too, you guys, I haven't.

Speaker 1 22:33

I watched because I've never watched it before. I knew what it was all the time I watched Neon Genesis. What is it?

Speaker 2 22:43

Evangeline, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 22:49

When I tell you it was on Netflix and I said let me check it out. When I tell you this shit was basically a therapy session because it's listed, it's categorized as a psychological anime Like that's one of the words Met and psychological. And when you watch this shit, first of all, I don't recommend watching this shit in one sitting. Do not do that, because it's gonna fuck with your head. Second, he hated senji's father, but I also hated senji for specific reasons the reasons first of all, he was kind of.

Speaker 1 23:35

He was kind of a bitch, and I can say that because his father treated him like shit and just let his ass go. His father and mother were so into this whole shit that they were trying to build that his father just went fucking apeshit and just said fuck that, fuck my son, I don't care if that motherfucker die, I don't care if that motherfucker live, I don't care if that motherfucker live, I don't give a fuck. Right, they're cloning people. It's a whole bunch of shit. It's just like these teenagers are put in these situations as like fucking adults and all these grown ass.

Speaker 1 24:19

People are sitting there and they're relying on these kids to jump into these, these things called angels. If they're angels, that's what they are and fight other angels and it's just like. It's just like what? Like? I'm just gonna like we could go over this shit, but I don't want to go too deep into it because I would say, watch it.

Speaker 1 24:44

But there is one episode, like when it's almost over, and there's this exchange student. She's from Germany, right, she drives one of the mechs, right, and she's all about yeah, I'm the best, I don't need any help, because she has her own problems that she grew up with as a child and she didn't work that shit out. And these angels that come, they learn based on getting defeated and shit. Each one comes back stronger and better and they know how to get into your head and all that shit is wild. But her and shinji would go back and forth with each other. They butt heads. She was like it's 95, y'all okay. So if you watch this shit, just remember it's 95, all right. So it's nudity and all that stuff. It's 90 fucking five. So it's like. She's like I'm developing everything. I don't need you, I don't need this. Tell me why.

Speaker 1 25:42

One of the craziest shits is this girl got hurt. She was in the fucking hospital, right? This is so crazy. She is sitting next to her, like standing next to her on her bedside, and you know what this nigga does. You want to take a guess? What does he do, motherfucker? Like he plays with himself when the person is right there in the hospital bed. When I saw that, I was like I was not expecting that shit.

Speaker 2 26:12

That is so fucking creepy yeah that's what I'm saying, y'all 1995.

Speaker 1 26:19

I will reiterate that. Remember this, okay, because this shit would not sell today. This shit would not go over. Wait, no, it wouldn't. It wouldn't go over. Well, because on TV. But then I think about, like, because I saw a dude getting interviewed and he was was like what is one of the things that you don't like about animes nowadays? And he was like I don't like the sexiness. Why is this so much like sexiness and like sexy shit in anime? Just give me my fucking anime like dandaden.

Speaker 2 26:54

Dandaden is crazy okay, but it's not as bad as Neon Genesis.

Speaker 1 26:59

No, it ain't that good though.

Speaker 2 27:02

The first episode of Dan-Da-Dan that girl is Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, go ahead, I'm a Segway and I'm going to Segway, way, segway. So have you ever heard? The Yandere Simulator? That game.

Complex Anime Reflections and Recommendations

Speaker 2 27:16

Say it again have you ever heard the Yandere Simulator, that game? Say it again Yandere, no, okay. So Yandere is basically the crazy chick who is like, will kill for her man if you look at him wrong. Okay, he made a game called Yandere Simulator. The guy that makes that game is like a one man, damn party, okay. And like he loves Neon Genesis and it's always the weirdos that like that anime. I'm just gonna keep it real, because he likes that anime and he references every chance he gets Right. Well, he's 40, still a virgin. Really hasn't been around women and it came out that he was talking to underage people, so I'm gonna leave that there for you.

Speaker 1 28:01

Jesus man, that show and I watched, like the movie too. The movies, everything is on Netflix.

Speaker 2 28:08

The movies too.

Speaker 1 28:09

And it was just like. And when you watch the Not the first one, but the second movie that continues after the series you just realize that senji, he didn't like to be like.

Speaker 2 28:23

He loved to be praised because he never got it, but then he didn't want to face, he was, he didn't want to face people when they came to conflict, he would run away from it I mean kind of look at it as like kids down, like even like when we were kids, like there's a lot of shit that we went through that we didn't face as kids that are now bubbling up to the surface as we we get older and now we're having to deal with it.

Speaker 1 28:51

So yeah, for sure, it's a great, as I. It's a big therapy session from the first episode to the last. It's a huge fucking therapy session If you watch it, cause you're going to sit there and you're going to be like, fuck, did I just watch? And then, when I the other thing that the other thing that I realized is that there's probably some motherfucker out there that has watched this shit and they think they're the smartest motherfucker since Sykes Bread and they're gonna be like well, if you do this, well, if you watch this, you can understand that this is that.

Speaker 2 29:26

this is that, shut the fuck up so before we started the podcast, I was trying to get like a good like explanation of it, because I haven't watched it either and I haven't had time to sit down and watch like 26 episodes. Shit. I'm behind on anime now and I barely watch anime. I gotta catch up Solo leveling. I'm an episode behind Sakamoto. I'm three episodes behind and Dan, dan Dan. I didn't watch the last episode, so I'm behind. But trying to watch so many videos on the explanation of this anime is insane.

Speaker 1 30:01

Yeah it, it really, I will say it kind of shows you how back in the day that how I'm not gonna say animes back in the day were like really complex shit, but compared to what they are now watching, demon slayer is simple shit. You watch it you. You ask the questions how you get that, how did you get that? You continue watching and you learn it. Right, this shit is like you watch it and you're like wait, so what? What happened? Like what happened hold up. So if I'm gonna say what happens at the end of the movie, it's been out for damn near, yeah, for a while. So at the end of this shit, it's basically Shinji basically makes he makes everything go away, everything go away, and some people will call it selfish, him being selfish, or some people would be like, yeah, that was the right thing to do, but everybody's gone. You know who's not gone? The girl that he did that shit to, in that bed, right, and do you know? Do you know?

Speaker 1 31:17

At the end of that, he had this dream that he choked her. She was still alive, and do you know what that motherfucker did? He saw her, got on top of her and started choking the fuck out of her and she took his, her hand and put it on his face, I think, to let him know this shit is real, like I am here, this isn't a dream. And he let go. And this girl said pathetic was it? That was it. And I said what the fuck did I just watch?

Speaker 1 31:55

do that watch like oh my gosh, because I'm like there has to be some type of like synopsis about this shit.

Speaker 2 32:03

Somebody has had to write out there yeah, and, and it's.

Speaker 1 32:09

It's like I said, it's a great anime it's dealing with it's. It's mech, like they. They say they list it as mechs, but it's just so much shit in this that you're just like are you high watching this?

Speaker 1 32:25

No, and that's the thank you for bringing that up. Do not watch this shit when you're high. Don't do it, cause you're going to want to step outside and get some air, cause it's going to fuck you up. Like, like I said, this is easy. This is more complex anime than like a demon slayer or a know what's the equivalent to this? Now? I would probably say attack on titan. I would probably say somewhat the equivalent is attack on titan, just because of the way that the story goes and the way that it's written, probably the the best equivalent, but it's like. It's like I don't even know how to explain it, but that's the equivalent I will put it up to is attack on titan, because everything else that comes out nowadays is like oh yeah, this is good shit. We got our good episodes, we got our funny episodes. Sometimes attack on titan didn't have any funny episodes. None of that Naruto shit. None of that Dragon Ball Z shit where.

Speaker 1 33:33

Naruto is chasing a fucking cat or some shit, you know doing some training sessions. Nah, it wasn't like that. This shit was serious from start to fucking finish and that's just the way it was. Nah, man, and I do not want to watch that shit again, because if I watch it again, I'm going to sit there and I'm still going to be like you're going to be sitting there like two hours later like still confused, trying to figure it out so it was good.

Speaker 1 34:06

I love the way it looked. It was a, it was beautiful, like it was great. But that storyline you're gonna be sitting there thinking about it and you're gonna kind of wonder what did I just watch? Yeah, what the fuck did I just watch? And I will let me. I have a question for you. So if this kind of goes back to the whole you know me asking about you know the weekend, what I'm with you. If somebody came to you and was like, hey, I want to start watching anime, and let's say you know it's somebody who hasn't watched one, right, what are you suggesting to them? And I'm only, I'm gonna preface it with one seasons, only one season ones.

Speaker 1 34:56

I already know one that you're gonna say well, it has to be the one that's like one season only yes, yeah, it has to be one season only for a new person, because you don't want to give them so much see, it doesn't depend on like what they like in real life, but I guess I'll go with a generic yeah suggestion okay.

Anime and Gaming Recommendations

Speaker 2 35:17

So if there are blurred, I'm gonna say michiko tahashin, because it's only one season. Um, it's not your traditional anime storylines kind of fire. You got assemblances of like American culture in it. It's easy, relatable.

Speaker 1 35:39

Yeah, I will go with that and I guess my biggest thing is. This is like I said, you're coming and I totally agree with you on that, but when I'm thinking about this, I'm thinking about more of like this person just asks you hey, what should I give a watch one season type shit. You know, they don't know anything about anime, so genres and the other thing is cartoons.

Speaker 2 36:02

I'm gonna tell them to watch that yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 36:05

so I think about shit that has funny moments in it and shit that can be serious drama shit, right.

Speaker 2 36:11

There you go.

Speaker 1 36:12

There's funny moments and serious moments. Right and I got, I say the original try gun, because that definitely has funny moments in it, because Vash is crazy but he can get serious. I would say Samurai 7, because that's also one good season. I thought it was good and I would probably say I would probably put. I'd probably put a Cowboy Bebop in there too. Yeah so Cowboy Bebop would be like my number two. Yeah.

Speaker 2 36:46

Because you know you do do have funny, you do have serious moments. It is a really good story.

Speaker 1 36:51

Then you get also too like it's not the same story every week that you watch it, so like right so that's something else and I got another one what you got this is the netflix one, though what is it? And it's oh my God, what is it called? I forgot. It's with the little dude.

Speaker 2 37:11

Shit. Are you talking about Rankings?

Speaker 1 37:14

No, no, no, no, the dude who was taking care of himself. Man, I forgot what it's called.

Speaker 2 37:21

Now I want to know because I'm curious.

Speaker 1 37:23

It was a little. It was a dude that was living in an apartment complex. It was a little. It was a dude that was living in an apartment complex and all of these people were taking care of him and looking out for him in this apartment complex. I forgot what it was called. I really did. I forgot, because his parents, his uh man, forgot what it was called. Fuck, it's on Netflix, though Can you help me there's a ton of anime now on Netflix.

Speaker 1 37:51

I totally forgot oh man, this is killing me because it was really good.

Speaker 2 37:54

Yeah, Rankin's Accused is one season. Coulter Road lives alone. Why does he live alone?

Speaker 1 38:04

Because his parents were gone.

Speaker 2 38:05

Where are they gone? Are they dead?

Speaker 1 38:09

His mother's gone father is a like gone away, but his father sent him money and takes care of him and he gets. It's a crazy story, but it's good. It's. It's really good. It's actually really funny, but it gets like very sentimental and stuff like that. It's honestly, I don't say this a lot. It's actually a really cute anime. It's really good.

Speaker 2 38:33

I don't like cheesy animes but you would like this.

Speaker 1 38:37

I'm serious, you would it's. I watched it and I was like yo, like this is crazy somebody like remind me.

Speaker 2 38:44

I guess I'll put it on the net.

Speaker 1 38:46

It's good it'll pull up the heart strings a little bit. I'm not gonna hold you if I start crying, I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 38:52

I'm gonna like, come find you. Um, just like I started crying the other day on the stream segue because I finished dragon age right spoilers, if you haven't played it, I'm about to spoil it. You might want to skip ahead. So if you ever play dragon age, you know or barrick, like he's in, I think all of them um. So in the beginning of four, they made it look like he died, but he did not die, he was alive. Well, you find out at the very end that he died and I just started crying because it was sad.

Speaker 1 39:27

You did not smooth your way in there or anything.

Speaker 2 39:31

No, that nigga did, he did.

Speaker 1 39:33

Killed by his own friend man. Man, that's wild. That is wild man. But yeah, it was. I don't know what made me think about that. I know what made me think about that question. It was I was just watching something on YouTube of it was.

Speaker 2 39:47

Um, I was just watching something on youtube, of course, and somebody was just asking the same way of like if somebody you know was trying to get into gaming. What game do you like suggest that they play?

Speaker 1 39:59

and even the game.

Speaker 2 40:01

You would be better at that than me why would I be better at it than you?

Speaker 1 40:06

because I know the games that I play and the games that I play a lot of the people don't like those shits siphon filters, metal gears dishonored and shit like that there is a whole fan club self based people.

Speaker 2 40:26

Okay. I could like, if I is a whole fan club of stealth-based people, okay.

Speaker 1 40:28

I could like if I give them a game. Are you trying?

Speaker 2 40:33

to say that I play more mainstream games than you. Is that what you're trying?

Speaker 1 40:36

to say Nobody said that. You know what I would say give. It depends on the person. I would say Skyrim, but that really depends on the person, though. I feel like skyrim is a good start yeah, yeah, I think I was saying yeah, yeah I think that's a good one. Um yeah, and you can play it on all platforms too and you get mods on all platforms too. So yeah, yeah, yeah, I think skyrim is a good one. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's not bad open world.

Speaker 2 41:11

You know you don't have to do the quest if you really don't want to yeah, and if you get the home station, you can build houses and everything too yeah, yeah, good choice I don't say, I don't know anything like that, like fallout and shit like that.

Speaker 1 41:27

I think those will do pretty well.

Speaker 2 41:29

Yeah, that's not bad.

Speaker 1 41:30

Okay, how fucked is that? That's a good question. That's a really good question.

Speaker 2 41:33

So you can make a clip and you can, you know, ask people that watch. You know, there you go.

Speaker 1 41:39

Yeah, somebody go come out with some crazy shit, come out with some crazy shit. Yeah, get them in Final Fantasy Online. Crazy shit. Yeah, get them in Final Fantasy Online. Like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you wanna get going to ESO? No, don't.

Speaker 2 41:53

Don't take that, Lord Jesus. All them DLCs. They're about as bad as wild DLCs. Every time you turn around, there is a new ESO.

Speaker 1 42:06

I think I'm gonna get a tattoo soon, yeah.

Speaker 2 42:09

I gotta be there.

Speaker 1 42:11

I don't know, maybe around the birthday I've been thinking about what I'm gonna get and I think I know what I'm gonna get and a new tattoo and I wanna get so. I've been playing a lot of Dishonored and I play it, been playing it for a long time.

Speaker 2 42:24

He's always playing it when he's not playing.

Speaker 1 42:26

Marvel Rivals so been playing it for a long time. He's always playing it when he's not playing Marvel Rivals. So in Dishonored Corvo Dowd and everybody has this signia on their back of their hand. It's the mark of the outsider yeah and I would definitely get that on the back of my hand for sure, for sure.

Speaker 2 42:50

I mean, each of them are different do you want it on your hand though? I'm sure you want it on your hand yeah do you know the pain?

Speaker 1 42:59

tolerance is nah, look, I get my hair retwisted. And it's pain up here because I'm tending the head of this motherfucker. Okay, you know, but I just I like the way that look, I get my hair retwisted and it's pain up here because I'm tending to head it as a motherfucker. Okay, Okay, you know, but I just I like the way that look, I like the way it looks, or I get a Corvo Atano's like mask, cause this mask is dope too.

Speaker 1 43:21

Somewhere Maybe like on my leg or something on my arm or something like that. Yeah, yeah, Um, I don't know. I like the way that. I really liked the way that looks and I think it would look really nice on a um as a tattoo, for sure, For sure. Just something different and it's not like a whole bunch of color and stuff to it, Like especially the, the uh symbol of the outsider. It's just all lines and maybe like a black coloring and stuff. But other than that, that's about it, man. I know tattoos are people love them. I know some motherfuckers I got my sister.
