What we lovingly call the Caden collection up in the store right now. Amazing. Based off of the concept of magical girl transformations from anime, all donations or all proceeds I should say will be donated to the Marsha P Johnson Institute for. Ooh, I want to get this right. So I'm going into another tab in support of their efforts in protecting and defending the rights of black transgender people. All the designs are made by our dear friend Quinn V Jensen. So please check it out on store.roosterteeth.com. You are supporting a great cause and actually Erin has a nice postcard. Yeah, I don't know if we want to cut to me. I mean, if you I donated in the past. So they sent me a nice little thank you card. Wow. It's shiny. It is. It's so cute. Yeah, check it out. Good cause that one merch that one shirt some like some Kingdom Hearts level shit. Oh yeah. It's so cool. It's cool. Key sword like. What? Key axe. Key axe. Cool. And yay. I can introduce the show guys. Welcome to I Have Notes. I am your host today. You said that, Yola. Express BBN. My co-host Noelle Wiggins. Hello. Yay. One thing real quick real quick back to that that Kingdom Hearts type axe shred and blade weapon. I feel like if someone attacked me with that, I would read before dying. I would actually compliment them. Oh, that should just look so cool. First, I would know where to look. I'm like, which one's gonna kill me. And then I'm like, you did good. You did good kid. You did good kid. Call you call you're a treasure. Chargers is my favorite thing. It's definitely my top three. Treasure. I should introduce to you as well. We have our special, special Aaron Wynn. Most specialist guest. I'm back. Most specialist by popular demand, Aaron. I hope so. Aaron, do the do the Metal Gear Solid thing again. Do the sneaky. Aaron. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm like the Smash Brothers announced are like Aaron Wynn. That would be awesome. Game. We have call. And if you haven't, if you haven't realized guys, it's called Galleon. It is our treasure. It is our is it is our best, our best boy. One of my favorite things is treasure. You have to get the other two. Is it in the treasure? Is it a part of the treasure? Sometimes it can be in. Well, I guess treasure. One's more of a concept. One's adventure, which can be a treasure. The other one's murder. Oh boy. Oh, wait. You told us to guess, but I guess you. I guessed. I got it right. You got it. You guessed your own favorite. I guess I got it right. I don't know what I'm trying to venture. Which one is the where does murder go? Is it one or three? One or two? It's three. Okay. Oh my God. Where are you murdering? For the treasure. The business. Oh, he goes on. He goes on the adventure. He wants the treasure. But then commits the murder to get the treasure. But then once he takes the treasure, it's at a cost. Cause that takes us into act three. And then and then once he returns with the treasure, there's there's again that cost again. And then he comes back completely. Change. But then you bury the treasure. So that way another person can have an adventure. And that is. Come and kill you. Yeah. That's Cole's journey. Yeah. Cole's journey. Wow. That was a whole anime plot right there. Thank you. Oh yeah. It's called One Piece. Check it out. Yeah. My autobiography. Nine thousand. One piece. Cole's by autobiography. Yeah. Hello everyone. How are you? How are you? How are you? Do what? How are you? Me? Yeah. Speaking truthfully. I'm like meh. Does today feel weird? Does today feel weird for anyone? It feels weird for me. Like I'm just kind of chilling right now. I just want to like. Oh yeah. But chill day. I'm quite the opposite. I haven't had a very busy day. I wish. Yeah. Tuesdays are my busiest day. And it's a little rough. So I started. I started teaching Sean. Sean Heinz the one of the heads. Joint heads of animation. I started teaching Sean Heinz that Tuesdays are actually the worst day. They are. Like everyone's always like Mondays. I hate Mondays. Mondays suck. But you expect a Monday. Yeah. I'm prepared for it. You don't expect Tuesday and you still have the rest of the week. That don't remind me. Yeah. Before we started. I thought today was Friday. I really wanted. I wish I was Tuesday. You're right. What happens when you found out it was Tuesday. I so so when I found out Aaron Aaron kind of alluded to it a little bit. You said you had a chill day. I didn't have a chill day. I just decided to throw away all my responsibilities and then I just did this whenever people started hitting me up for emails. Oh no. I'm just gonna. You sit back with the money rolling. Yeah. Oh my God. That's what called that. The consequences will come later. Like on a Wednesday. The consequence is writing their email right now Tuesday. Here's Tuesday to all of my responsibilities right now. There's this comic on Reddit that was like today. Today me all leave it to future me and future me goes that bitch. That'll be you know well. Procrastination is what I'm so good at. It's the best. I'm bummed for more serious reasons. I don't know. It's a I don't know whether to really if I really want to bring a mood down but I'm just it's a don't be a good neighbor. Don't don't spread hate. Yes. I watched rule. I watched a video kind of unintentionally last night and I'm if you guys see my Twitter it's like I've just been kind of retweeting a lot of different stuff but it's just it. There's this common sentiment that's going on where people who talk about it's like I watched it and my day is completely ruined or it's just I lost a day because I'm just so emotionally fraught. Yeah and this is probably the second time I'm probably going to cry on live. So I'm trying to stop myself right now. So there's so many things wrong and I'm here because I just want to feel better. So there's intervention training somewhere online. I don't have a link right now but please Google it. I am heartbroken and stop it. Thanks for listening. Of course. Of course we're always here for you. Thanks. We'll cheer you up. Thank you. This is a friendship time slash group therapy time. Oh thank you. Thank you. That's right. Well I was going to bring up that Netflix documentary. What is it? See Spiracy so we can feel even more like crap for the ocean but I won't do that. It should be called Conspiracy. It's so easy. Oh my God. Well I didn't think it was those ticktocks that I saw where they were like see Spiracy. Conspiracy is right there. It's like was it was a Dan Harmon that did the thing about the movie. What is it now? You see me or yeah. That was I heard my brother my brother and me talk about where it's like now you see me and then they named the next movie. Now you see me too. Now you don't who signed off on that. I watched those movies too. I was just like did you enjoy them. I did. I like the first one and the second one was kind of just like oh like an evolved bullshitting form of the first one in terms of like oh wow look at all this cool CG like magic stuff. I think if you if you enjoyed the first one you'll probably enjoy the second one. I watched it primarily because Daniel Radcliffe was in it and he's just in the snack though. He's in the second one. He's the snack though. That's a treasure. The boy wizard now. I need an explanation now because I haven't seen now you see me too. The worst title ever someone explain how is how is how is how is Mr. Potter a snack. Okay. So Daniel now you see me too. Oh man. It's been a hot second. Daniel Radcliffe plays like the son of a billionaire who he's a billionaire himself and I think he like hires the magic people to like get something for him kind of like all of Charlie's Angels right? Harry's Angels got it. Harry's Angels. Yeah, Harry Potter. Oh Harry's Angels. Good one. Good one. Cool. And yeah, I that's kind of his role. I feel like I may have spoiled it by equating him to Charlie's Angels. So I think you're fine. You're just giving me. Now you see me too. Anyone's going to go see it. Lord incentive to watch it. Deal with the chat. Yeah, it's fine. Now you see me too. It's got Morgan Freeman in it. Oh, I'm looking at I'm looking at what Tyler just threw in our discord. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. She got Mark Ruffalo. Oh yeah, Mark. Mark Ruffalo. Mark Ruffles chips. Okay. Okay. Ruffles chips. I like I just like the now you see me thing. I if they make another movie, I will probably if I get vaccinated by that point, I will I will spend money to watch it in theater because it's kind of like my trash kind of like action movie. Yeah, it's your Fast and Furious. My Fast and Furious. Yeah, I like the first one. So I don't know what's happened with me. But in that way, in that way, I'm becoming more okay with nonsense. Like just like absolutely stuff. That's like not like super cerebral, but just kind of like goofy and just wacky. I like that. I feel like especially like, I don't know. I feel like there's so much pressure to like you have to have very refined taste in order to like enjoy something. It's like I just want to be able to enjoy this garbage piece of media and acknowledge that's bad, but I like it. So it's good. Like I know it's not like reinventing the wheel or anything. Right. A thousand percent. Like I agree that a thousand percent because like we do like when we had fan service and like other anime related podcast. And so I felt like a pressure of like, oh, you can't like the basic stuff. You can't like the baseline. You have to like the good stuff like the stuff that's like the high rated. The top tier. That's not that's a normie shit. No, I can't like it. So you can like the normie shit, but also you can like the ridiculous shit. Mm hmm. I love you. Here's I'll uh, I'll pay Joe. I could have a whole career of making very mediocre films. That's really what I kind of want to do. Like I don't want to be an auteur. I don't want to be, you know, I don't want to make something that makes billions of dollars. I just want to make mediocre garbage movies and just live off of that. That's it. But you could do all of that and be Adam Sandler. Okay, that's fair. I will say this. I do not enjoy. This is a random thing I have about Adam Sandler. I do not enjoy his comedies. Like I the last movie that that I fell into as a trap was click way back in what year was that? 2006. Oh, yes. That movie takes a twist and oh, you feel terrible by the end, but that was the last Adam Sandler film I ever saw. Um, and I do need to see what is it uncut gems, but that's not him being funny. That's him being. That's him being. That's like I mean, that's a safety brothers film, right? Is that I think so. But, but I don't like Adam Sandler movies, but I appreciate what Adam Sandler does, which is he just makes movies so he can put his friends in his movies. Yeah, that is pretty hang out. They just hang out make movies that I respect that. I respect not his movies, but just just the mindset. Yeah. It's pretty awesome. That's what we need to mean nowadays. Yeah, just hire your friends. Hi, friends. Yeah, just put your friends on stuff. Yeah. That's just so we're cool. Just, just do nothing to them. So it reminds me, hiring your friends reminds me of when your friends are moving and they'll, they ask you to help and they'll pay you with like pizza and beer. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's what that reminds me of. Yep. I'm 35. I can't, I can't do that anymore. If you got a move, please hire a mover. Oh yeah. Like I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. At this point, you were, you're, as this point, if you're moving and you're like our age, like 25, 30, you're obligated to hire a moving company. It's time to stop relying on your friends. This is a PSA. I'm telling you now, your friends will help you. They don't want to and they will hold it against you. So do not ask your friends. It's worth it. Hire the moving company. Nobody has to worry about anything. Just, just do it. I will say this like literally dovetailing off of that. A friend of mine moved very close to where I live. And when I say move very close, we can basically play football catch from our backyards. But I didn't see, I thought it was nice, but I did not want to help this person move. So the most that I did was just look at them through my blinds, watching them move. Cause I was kind of like, I was like, please, please. And then I'm texting them and I'm like, Hey, sorry about that. Just saw your message. I just woke up, but it was like five in the afternoon and I'm like, let me know if you still need help moving. No, you gotta do the power play man. You gotta go out with like a glass of tea and going, that looks heavy. Cause now you've set this, like you said that you were busy and that you couldn't, but next time you're able to help. That's like, I don't know. Like Kyle was talking about buying a pickup truck. What? I don't know. Like why would you, why in this day and age would you buy a pickup truck? Yeah. Oh, you mean like he was going to do it for money as a business. He was going to, he was going to purchase his next car to be like a pickup truck. And I'm like, why? He's like, well, okay, somebody eats it. I want to move or someone else needs it. Like, no, you don't, you don't get a car. You live in Austin. Get a car. I think Texas. There's an oblin. I think there's a quota or some type of obligation. Like I would say if you live in the state of Texas, if you are driving just at one point in time, randomly, you just anytime you're on the highway, you're probably on I 35 if you're in Texas, 90% of the time just driving down I 35, just take a moment, stop and count how many trucks are around you. I can guarantee you there's going to be at least four. I don't know. That's a very low estimate. Yeah. One's also going to be 40. One's going to be 40 as well. Guaranteed. Exactly. And it's going to be like the, not the base model. Whatever has. That's going to be super duty, baby. What is it? Yeah, that's it. That's it. It's going to have doolies. It's going to have. Because they got it during truck month. Ford month. That's having a truck month. What month isn't Ford truck month? Yeah. Having a small car in Austin is the worst. Oh, I think it's the best. I think you get to park anywhere. That's true. It's it's up when you're your parts and you're back trying to back out and you're parked in between two giant ass trucks and you can't like see behind you or who's coming. That's the worst. That's true. Yeah. I just hate when there's traffic and there's a truck in front of you and you can't see anything that is happening. You can't tell what's going on because all you see is a license plate and then chances are the truck will have that whole like hanging ball thing. It's just so gross. Oh my God. Men need to stop. Hey, we do. I want to get a giant pair of shears and every time I get close to one of those in my car, I'm going to lean out the front window and I'm stuck in traffic. I'm coming for your balls. Do you remember those smart vehicles like those smart cars that look like what Erkel had in family matters? Yeah, real tiny. I thought about that. But in my head, I was like, I would only ever drive one of those smart cars. Only if everyone else did it because I imagine if everyone on the road drove those accidents would look more like bumper cars at that point. Actually, it would be funny and you just bounce off of each other and stuff like that. But like, why would you want to drive in the smart cars when you have F 150 Super Duty for a truck month guy literally right next to you? Like he's just going to like Korean right over you. I have two options as to why this is a good idea. One, if the truck is big enough, you can then like what's that movie Christmas vacation under the truck. Or, or if you can find a way to fasten a ramp to the back of that Ford F 150. You can then drive into the bed. They're not going to know. It's like sit back there and get taken around. I don't think anywhere. Remember spy hunter, but that was the dope video game where you come out of a truck and then you anyway, you can you can move the camera off and be Brian. Can you drive that? Can you drive? Can you drive into the truck? Yeah, and then like if you drive into the truck, it's like a superpower thing. So you get like a better car when you come back out of the truck. Yeah, yes, pretty dope concept. Don't recommend you do it in real life. But no, I love the idea like that's what that's always fascinating like games and real life is like driving into something to pilot a bigger thing. Like I love the idea of a Gundam inside of another Gundam that's controlling it. Oh man, that's that's like a turducken. I'm like my shoes. Your shoes. Yes, my shoes. You got them. You got them. Do you got them? I got it. Baby. Look at those. Look at these babies. Look at these bad boys. Dunks. That's pretty cool. Wait, shoes. It's a shoes. I'm confused. What's up? Did you say shoes into shoes? What? Okay, so these are called turduckens like a turducken because they're Nike dunks and it's a little collab with the with concept and it's just called turducken just because it's got like some features of a duck some features of what else. Well, if you buy the full box, the socks are a turkey. Oh, the oven, the box itself. The box is like a turkey and the socks are chicken socks. So the socks inside of the duck shoes. Then you put the duck shoes inside of the turkey box and so it's a turduck turducken. I see now. Thank you. What color? I did the yellow. I did the yellow one. That's a good touch. That's a good. They came with brown, but I was like, no, better in these. Like I'm going with the cranberry sauce laces too. I wish. I mean, man, sorry, we we've derailed to talk about that ties into I wasn't on. I wasn't on what do you buy in this morning? So I missed the talk. So oh my God. Hey, talk talk about one of our topics. Yes, Aaron is correct. Yes, I don't you say you want to you want to lead us in? Sure. Um, it kind of ties into Lil Nas X. Um, I got the horses in the back. In life of his new music video and single Montero call me by your name drop. He also had a shoe drop supposedly with Nike unofficially like the Satan drop is what he called it. The Satan shoes. Satan shoes. Can we get can we get that graphic up made with these real human blind? I have seen the joke on Twitter so much that I couldn't get the code vaccine. So instead I got the Satan shoes. I so supposedly there's I mean like I think it's official that there is that if if he's not sued and and and stopped by doing this, there's going to be 666 payers obviously for the mark of the beast. So cool. But I think someone correct me if I'm wrong. I feel like I would buy them. But I think the price is just ridiculous. Like for I think the price surprising. I thought the price is going to see. I thought it was going to be that but then I found an article that said it was going to be a thousand and six hundred sixty six which makes no sense to me. That makes they do have real human blood. So the one comes with the real blood in it. That's the at least make it six hundred and six thousand six hundred and sixty six dollars. You're going to go there. Go there. Like just do it. Which is 18 that's the same. Just let's just a thousand eighteen. See it's reducing. The verse. It's the verse. That's what it is. Okay. Okay. That makes. Okay. I'll allow it. Leet speak. I got it. Yeah. Yeah. Bible is just. We're on me. It says devil and leet. Says you. Okay. The devil and leet speak. Bible leet speak. But I like I like the design of the shoe. I know Aaron we were talking about it earlier that Brian I forgot to send you but there was a walking on water. By the way the shoe that we're looking at the sneaker is the Air Max 97 model which is probably one of the dopest Air Max in my opinion. But Cole I think you said it. Lil Nas chose that specific shoe because it's his favorite Air Max. Is that correct? I did not say that. Oh maybe I made that. Maybe I made that. I can take credit for it. Sure. Voice of God said it. I said it. I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Voice of God. Or was it a Satan that that gotta. That's it. That's it. I did on comp. When you get all the producers and the technical directors and stuff that we're going to show we need to get them go XLR go XLR so that way whenever they talk they can do like the big echo effect like here. I'm telling you now. Wow. Wow. Wow. Let's see. I don't have that. So I just decided to get one of these things from about at $35 on Amazon. Oh my God. No way. It is. Shout out. Yeah. I like how it lights up but it doesn't like go with your voice. It's not like levels. So the thing is it does. You can you can connect this thing Bluetooth to basically your phone and so it will move with whatever be the music but yeah I haven't figured out nor am I going to spend time trying to figure out if it will actually go with my voice for one I'll be flat the entire time. So I don't think I want to see my my flat range being represented in colors. So that but that's it. I don't have go XLR that costs like $400. It's cost 35 buckaroos on Amazon. So that's a little plug to Amazon. That's what you're buying. Welcome. We're in the morning podcast. We have literally to have you guys watch the video. I watched it just now like 10 minutes 15 minutes go 20 minutes. Good job. All thoughts. I watched it this morning. It's dope. I love it. I mean he is like some of the best music videos just in production value and style and like visual storytelling. So there's a lot of CGI and I'm really glad the CGI looks good. Does everyone remember back when like the CGI and music videos was just trash like does anyone remember the what is the song the the I'm blue and I'm. Oh yeah. Yes, that's all our first point of reference. I was literally going to say guess that everything like really back then but but like now now the music I look so me I'm just curious how much that that music video cost. That's that's what I'm wondering because it looked there was there were like stone versions of low noise like in the crowd and hadn't and then he slid down in an infinite length of stripper pole which I recently learned to hell that they they actually rotate. That's how that's how the the pole dancers can do the spin. I thought it was like they were just defying physics and really greased up. I thought they were just moved up and just like spin like that. But no it actually rotates. You learn something new every day and now you know there's no you do. Yeah, there you go. This week's episode brought to you by stripper poles rotating. The letter X and WD for the letter X. We're just talking about the music video. We're talking about the yes. So what it was interesting to me about Lil Nas X is that I feel like he kind of ends up I wouldn't say inheriting but almost like kind of contributing to like this line. I feel like of I wouldn't say I guess it is kind of like futuristic black musical artists that really like embrace like Futurism and the only reason why I talk about that is because I watched a video a while ago about how Missy Elliott was like a huge proponent of that back when she was making a lot of music videos. Super duper fly. Super duper fly with a trash bag with the trash bag. I tried that as a kid. Nice. It's hard. You need something to keep the air. And so like I thought that was honestly really fascinating because if only because I feel like it's so much more. I don't put it. I feel like it stands out a lot more. I pay more attention to it when musical artists like Missy or Lil Nas X do it and I think I feel like it's part of it maybe just because like they imbue some meaning into it or they they have this theme going whereas for some reason when Katy Perry does it I just don't take it as seriously but maybe that's just me just being kind of like what's the word maybe I just don't I have a prejudice against I mean I think I understand what you're saying because if I could use those specific artists that you're referring to so we have like Missy Elliott Katy Perry and Lil Nas X to me maybe it's just because I don't know these people individually but for Katy Perry I'm not going to say that she is not talented but I maybe it's a sense that you feel like the the music is manufactured like it's that bubblegum thing so maybe for like Lil Nas and Missy Elliott you kind of feel like they're they're they're artists that are trendsetters and they and they want to be visionaries while for Katy Perry maybe to me I'm thinking of my own bias maybe it feels like nah producer told you to do that because they it just looks kind of cool put a shark in your music video as well also have like a one hand like Lil Nas X singing and having a music video about the struggles of being like a gay black man in that community versus Katy Perry singing about California girls right California girls got it right though it's hard on those streets it's hard no she's thinking it's all good it's all good to California girls Daisy Dukes bottom on top whatever like I'm the niable sun kissed yeah fancy I remember all those layers called California girls what's up for me I just thought it's more on the video I never paid attention to what Katy Perry was actually saying in those songs I think I do that a lot yeah I mean it's also kind of like it's the same execution with the music video as well where it's just kind of more like yeah you're saying that bubblegum kind of poppy like oh this is fun versus like I mean the visual storytelling in Montero calling by your name is in line with what the lyrics and the song is about yeah and he kills Satan and he kills just killing Satan and you're gonna say something where are you gonna say Oh I was just gonna say I do correct me if I'm wrong but I'm always been under the impression that pop is very white dominant so it does get kind of like a very stale or like repetitive I guess and I think yeah I think the bubblegum trend following aspect well I think pop appropriates a lot of stuff from other genres and then tries to make it inoffensive yeah like yeah that's what's from other genres but we don't want to I mean the song is very like controversial now music video and song are very controversial but you shouldn't be about the Katy Perry like that's not as a controversial of a song I don't know if you kiss some girls once apparently but then she didn't that she liked it she liked it she went back to California girls after doing oh you can't go back she went back to Orlando Bloom that's what that's what's going on Legolas Legolas who would like Legolas Legolas William turn some of the interesting stuff with Lil Nas X in that like some I wouldn't say factoids but things that really kind of just put more context with the song the release and what it's about one this video comes out after the Vatican supports after the Vatican announces that they do not support um official gay marriage yeah like actually like gay unions I should say they do not support that and then to a lot of people especially queer people intrinsically understood that one of the messages that Lil Nas X was like talking about in terms of his this music video is that he's gay so people just tell him to go to hell and so he does he does he kills Satan and he kills Satan and he should be y'all's hero if anything he does it after he gives them a lap dance to yeah I one of my initial reactions about the video is actually I just wanted to keep rewatching it and I don't know if it was out of this like desire because I liked it or because I was weirdly like not into it but it made me want to watch it right and so I feel like it kind of tapped into like my old like religious upbringing I was raised Catholic as every Filipino is what to do and it was one of those like morbid fascinations almost and it kind of made me want to watch it more and more and then I realized after certain program like oh maybe I guess I kind of like it and then so after across that threshold I feel like I I was like okay I can stop watching this now that I know I like it I can never happen to you as I watched the video I just kept saying like as each scene kept progressing I just kept saying good for you good like I'm like he's playing like some type of like guitar harp type musical instrument I was like good for you low in the house now you're kissing yourself or an alien version of you good for you now you're going up to the heaven good for you and now you're going down the infinite stripper pole even better good for you because I learned that they rotate and that you know know about that somebody in chat said earlier that they do both there's a pin in the top that you can pull that allowed to rotate. So giant skydancer here's what I think we should do I think there needs to be some type of initiative some type of program that goes into every fire station and then replaces the poles with the rotating ones just to see how firefighters respond to it. Why is that the thing that has like come out of fire stations why is everyone know oh there's got to be a fire pole like I know several firefighters who don't have a fire pole at their fire station really like one level. Yeah, it's all one level. Yeah, you're gonna say they just jumped on the whole you just ruined. Yeah, yeah, you just ruined like my my percent. So they all don't sleep upstairs and then and then the only way down their house and get a wrong call and got to go to the station whenever it's time. I mean it's sure that people are just born as firefighters know. Out of the room with a uniform with a with a rotating pole like that because I learned it rotates. But yeah, I just kept saying good for you. Then he goes down to hell literally dances on Satan good for you. Then he kills Satan good. I was like I just kept I was like I was like I don't see what's so wrong. I was like this is like a this is like an inspirational story here. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time just just sharing them on. Yeah, kind of going back to what he was saying earlier. I know like somebody who's taken like our history of classes. There is something like very gravitating towards like Christian imagery and Catholicism. So I definitely is also somebody who was race Catholic who is also queer and is no longer part of the church. I was very like. Draw onto it. So totally understandable. It's we oh sorry go ahead. You go to you. Oh, I was going to say we were talking about it before the show. But that's why you see so much like Christian imagery and like anime because it's just so cool. Yeah, I was going to say like I think it kind of goes to the same kind of fascination that we have with like Greek mythos and stuff. There are a lot of like awesome stories in Christianity and all the other businesses. And so I think it's yeah just I mean what's it a I forget like in high school or something we were taught that like all stories are based off of like 10 common stories. It's like tales. Beowulf and like the Bible is one of them just because there's so many stories that people just go. Okay, here's a parable. Let's take it and go over here. So and then I hear that stuff comes from like Gilgamesh and all that stuff, but I'm no expert. I just I just like to watch YouTube videos and go down and grab it, hold it and all that stuff. But yeah, that's true. I think this is a good time as I need to just cut to me. Midroll. Oh, oh, oh, oh, not much today. Do those fingers one more time. Yes, roll like a crab.

We do have Cole here. Cole's face. Whatever. Go on. Whatever we have Cole on it's because we want to talk about anime. It's true. Always now the time to talk about anime. Oh my gosh. So much has happened. Anytime. Welcome to fan service light. Which I got the opposite of I got the TD one time for for fan service. It was it was strange. I got the TD for for you. Cocinos. I think Miles was on and I don't know. We were in the later dying seasons. Yeah, dark ages. It was it. It was a it was a stage five and I just remember I was everyone's like, cool. I think you reached out to me. You're like, hey, dude, you want to like TD for this thing and I was like, yo, dude, sure. Yeah, I guess you're trying to figure out TD and Sean was like, oh, yeah, like, I think I think Noel can TD for yours. Like, all right, sure. I can press runs. I can do which by the way, it's not bad. It's not that simple. Brian is Brian. Are you a TD because you are amazing at what you do? Are you a TD Brian is Brian in the house? Oh, among other things, a man of many talents completely depend on the show. That show in particular, it's not that crazy of a TD process. Probably the bigger TDs were working on some of the more complicated shows. Yeah. See, for me, when I did it, it became a game after like, because I can't lie. I was starting to get bored, but that's just because my attention span is that of like a soap dish. And I remember just trying to play a game where I was just like, camera one, camera two, camera one, two, three. And I just by the way, it wasn't matching. It wasn't matching with what people were talking all the time. And I was like, all right, I'm going to get fired if I don't take this serious. But I thought it was I thought it was great. But I don't think it ever did ever come out because I don't think I know it ever ever mandated me for for doing this. So I don't think it ever came out just because we things got complicated around then. So at least it wasn't because of my camera one. Kevry two. The thing that complicated it we were like, well, we clearly can't release this. We're going to boot off the air. Cancel the show. Thanks. Thanks, Noel. They're like, they're like, why is the camera changing at 120 beats? Even 20 beats per minute. Like why is it doing that? Why is it doing this at at at at Skrillex BPM at some dubstep BPM? Why are you doing this camera that no one's in front of? Is that a phone? Like, what is that? Like, who's who's doing this? But anyway, yeah, thanks for letting me T.D. By the way, thanks. That was a long time. Anytime. Animate. Animate, that's what we were talking about. What happened in the previous season? What's happening now? Are you guys watching any? I'm watching it. I need to watch. But I don't think that counts as anime. Or does it count as? Nah, it doesn't count as anime. I'm one of those people who says any kind of animation is anime. So SpongeBob is anime. Family guys anime. Yes, I don't care. I'm. King of the Hill. Yeah, King of the Hill is my favorite anime. Because I do. I do always want to like nod to the the culture that makes anime and like not remove that from it. But I don't know. I mean, is an anime just literally their word for animation? It's true. Yeah. So it's mostly because I'm just being a stick in the mud and especially at people who are like rubies in an anime. I mean, I at a certain point to me is like, well, yeah, because I know like whenever people are more prickly about it, they're afraid of taking the culture that makes it out of it and like very true kind of just whitewashing it maybe like anything that we make is anime. It's like, but I don't think it matters. Like I think if it feels like anime, you can watch it. You don't have to only watch anime or whatever. Is it official that that avatar the last airbender is referred to as like Western anime? Is there is no official? There is no official. That's the thing. There's no official if you're going by the official definition of anime, then everything is anime because it's Japanese word saying all animation is anime. If you're going by like what the Western culture identifies as Japanese created for a Japanese audience, then it's not anime. So I don't I get I don't I don't really care. Yeah. I'm either fight. Yeah, you guys can fight. Yeah, yeah, I don't watch. I'll just watch it. I'll just watch whatever I want. I'll watch the King of the Hill anime is what I'm saying. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Um, I've actually been doing a lot of catching up because we finally nice. And I finally like kind of bit the bullet and we're like, you know what? Fine, we'll get the Funimation account. So we got a Funimation account. I need to do that. So the it's it's quite interesting in terms of like what's going to happen later because of the merger. But for now, let's just just going to say that some of the some stuff is on funny and some stuff is on crunchy roll. Cool to you. What to me? Oh, I was going to say, yeah, it's been crazy because like Funimation is definitely had better content lately, which is why like I'm good. I'm glad y'all are getting the Funimation accounts because crunchy roll definitely has some good stuff. I mean, last season, I don't think it's hyperbole to say like last season was the best season of anime in a very, very long time. I feel it was so good and I feel bad for not watching anything. Yeah, kind of. It was on my list though. It's so many good things. Did you watch anything? No, I watched. Season two. I haven't even watched Juju yet. Juju is it's crazy because it's the first time that I've ever not. Okay, so wait till I get to the end. It's the first time I've ever watched a show that then made me go read the manga that I have never been excited seeing a panel to see it animated until jutsu kaisen cool. Like I always go. Well, the manga is going to like the manga and my brain is going to be better than whatever is animated. Yeah, until the kaisen came. Oh, interesting. Yeah, those fights are amazing. The fights are amazing that no one's ready for the next seasons. No one's ready for the next season. Okay, so they also announced that there's going to be a movie of prequel prequel the prequel arc. Oh, zero. Okay. So I do have a question for for all of you here. Um, how I I tend to do a thing to where I will watch an anime and then I really do want to read the manga, but I feel like it can kind of spoil the anime. Maybe maybe I need to change my mindset because I used to do that with like Naruto. I did that the entire time and then just like what you said like for you with with juju and the fight scenes in juju for me it was like Naruto as well like those fight scenes were just insane. But I somehow my brain started getting into a thing to where I would like with Demon Slayer specific is where I realized it started. I would I remember watching the first couple of episodes of the anime for Demon Slayer. Then I read the the manga for that same chapter or whatever or season whatever and I remember just going now. I kind of know what's happening and it didn't ruin it for me. But like in my head, I kind of want to do a thing to where I want to watch the anime first, but then I'm just so behind. I don't know what to do. Well, that's that's how I felt about that's how I thought about my hero like reading my hair manga completely ruin the series because I've been able to go. Oh, well, this arc sucks. I don't want to watch any of these anime because I'm not going to like the animation of it. Yeah, and then like only want to get to the good stuff, but also I want to like I'll want to go back and it really is like the OCD triggering in me where if I see that I have watched episode 20 and then unwatched, unwatched, unwatched. You've watched episode 25. I'm like, I need to watch those even if it's just like scrubbing through all the way. Yeah, the completionist. Yeah. You got to get those colors. I'm glad you brought up my hero for a second. Like I if we want to talk about other stuff, but real quick, I hopped onto the my hero train really late in the game. And when I say really late, I used to live in the Dallas, Fort Worth area and on occasion, I got a chance to like do freelance video work for Funimation. Yeah. And so I got a chance to work with the voice, the funny dub voice actors who they're all amazing, amazing talent and amazing people. But I got a chance to work with them and not like, you know, fanboy over them, but then after I started watching it and I was just like, yo, I was right next to all my for a whole year. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. You're going to finish. Okay. So like the the interesting thing about all my or Chris Abbott, who's an amazing person in real life because he's also Vegeta, too, which is crazy because Watson Ruby. Yes. Oh, yeah. So the funny thing about Chris and I call him Chris because we're friends at this point in my mind is is that I remember were you again? I exactly. I remember a long time ago when I say a long time ago, I'm talking Dragon Ball Z, you know, adult swim to Nami era. There were I used to live in an area where it was like it was like next to Keller long story short. Funimation was like maybe two blocks from where I lived. When I was when I was 17, I worked at a GameStop and without knowing that Funimation was even close to where I live. One day I'm working. I'm there was my first job ever. I'm working and this guy comes in and he has a very familiar voice and I'm just like, where? Oh my God. I was like, where do I know you? But I was like, I can't know you because you're a grown man. I'm 17. And I don't really hang out with adults like that. Stranger danger. Stranger danger. And so so then he like he buys this game. I forget it was some game on PS2. That's how old this story is because the PS2 was out. So we're talking early odds at this point. He leaves and then my my my shift manager comes in his name was Ethan and I was like, yo, Ethan, this dude came in and he had a very familiar voice. I couldn't put like my my thumb on it. I don't know what it is. Evens like, how do you pay? And I was like, he paid with a credit card. Let's go check the receipt. And I go to the receipt and I look and I go, uh, who the hell is Chris Sabbath or Saba? I don't know how to say his name. And then Ethan just goes, oh, dude, that's piccolo, bro. That's a Vegeta. And I was like, what? What do you mean as a Vegeta? I saw a Vegeta game. So so the thing is when I finally got a chance, you know, fast forward to like damn near 20 years later where I'm working on Funimation and I'm working with Funimation. So I was freelancing and I got a chance to work with with Chris Sabbath. I it took everything in my being to not tell him this story, by the way, because I just kept staring. And instead of like hiding it and being professional, I would just stare at him. I would just be like, oh my God, no, I had him just like, don't tell him the story. Don't tell me what you should done is like when you were like doing the rap, like champagne shot, whatever, going up, you're like, hey, how was that game? How was how was Daxter? How was how was Dark Cloud 2? Do you ever beat it? He's like, what? You're like, it was me. I still have your receipt. Yeah, but like everything. Yeah, but oh my God. But yeah, working working with the with the funny crew is as I call them because again, I feel like I know them like personally now. They're all amazing people and and again, very strange because now that I've hopped onto the My Hero academia train, as I listen to them talk, I just go. I know all my I know them. I know you. I know. I know total rookie. I know you. I know you. The end of that story. Be it. That was a good. That was a good story. Thank you, sir. I told it a lot faster than I than I could. I had a re I've had this thing for a year. So I could have told this in a longer version, but I condensed it. I can dance. Thanks, Noelle. You're confessional of the story. Oh, yeah. Now we'll turn into an RTA. Oh, I've got more. I've got more. We'll save him for another day, but I've got more. I may have recommended last week's episode for an RTA. A. So fingers crossed fingers. What was it? We'll see. Hopefully. Yeah, it's true and true. Yeah, I had a lot of fun. Yeah, what? Next time on I can pose. R.T. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is there anything if you guys know? Is there anything in this upcoming anime season that you know you're going to watch? Toro is going to be your number one. Don't believe it. Not a Toro. Oh, yeah. Cole, tell us. Tell us. It's it's to me. It's the best version of those. High school girl boy girl bullies boy because she likes him. Oh, I got Toro, right? Yes. I've been obsessed with the manga for like a long time. Don't toy with me. Miss Naga Toro. Yeah. Oh, Shaman King is coming back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They announced us like a while back. I still I still get shocked every time. There's if you watch Zombieland Saga, Zombieland Saga is top tier top tier anime. Okay. So the two that I think is like new stuff that people haven't not have heard as much about one. Do you remember that? Do you remember By its cover? The show we used to be. Yes. Yes. Do you remember the one that Jordan was on? Was it? Are we talking about the spider one? No, we're talking about eighty sixers. Oh, that's an anime. That's right. Yeah. Eighty six. What is that? It's like they're the countries are two countries are fighting. They all develop drone technology. It's like, hey, we can fight in peace because mindless robots are killing each other, but it's actually not mindless robots and said it's people inside of tanks that are killing each other. But the people think it's just mindless robots. What are you going to do? Um, um, what? Also, I'm looking at a long list. Why the fuck is Hitalia still a thing? Why is it coming back? Get it out of here. Get it. It is twenty twenty one. We have moved past the need of Hitalia. Aaron, I'll show that thing you're going to love. Have you heard of Tokyo Revengers? It sounds familiar. Sounds like a Hideo Kojiba game. Yes. Yes, the dumbest name Tokyo Revengers. So it's okay. Dude, dude's a man. He's an adult. He's 40. I don't know how old he is. Um, he, uh, finds out that his, uh, his ex-girlfriend from high school has been murdered by a gang in Tokyo. Oh, no. And so he's like, ah, man, this sucks. Shucks. This is the worst thing. Shucks. Until he wakes up and he's in high school again. So a lot erased where he goes back in time and is like reliving his life. And essentially he's at the kind of the school where the gang that wind up killing his ex-girlfriend originated and started to get their, uh, like spread their power over, over the city. So he's going to infiltrate the gang in an order to hopefully prevent the murder of his future ex-girlfriend. But then he ends up becoming, he ends up falling into like, like just a mind frame of the gang, which basically he ends up killing his own. I already told you the plot. I ruined it. I ruined it. I ruined it. I know. Now you see me. Now you don't. That's. Yeah. I'm looking at the character art. It's very interesting. Yeah. Wow. These are some, these are some boys. These are some little delinquent boys. There's some big drama shows that I'm, I'm really interested in. Like what? Um, this one's going to have like the other form of anime dumb name. I shaved. Then I brought a high school girl home. I fucking hate this. Oh, okay. It's not what you think. It's not what you think. It's very dramatic, very sad. Dude, this isn't a sad part. Dude, um, uh, asks his office maid, his coworker. He's like, Hey, I've had a crush on her for so long. I'm going to ask her out. Let's go ask her out. And while he's while they're on the date, she turns him down. So, um, he's dejected and walking home and he sees this girl kind of like rummaging through the trash to find food and like results me like, Hey, I can, I can help provide for you. Whatever. Um, brings her home. Uh, what could go to sleep, wake up the next day and she's like, Hey, yeah, uh, I ran away from my house like super up north. Um, I usually, uh, pay for all this with sex. So I'll have sex with you now. And he's like, no, no, no, no. I don't want that. And so it's kind of like a dramatic story about her and him, like developing like a friendship. Does he shave though? Probably, or does he join a does he infiltrate a game? So instead of sex, instead of sex, sexual favors. He, uh, he has her do different work. One that entails washing dishes, doing laundry. So touching relationship between a heartbroken adult and a runaway high school girl begins. I hope he's a nanny. He's very sexual. So he is a nanny now. Yeah. A nanny. The, the title is Higehiro because, uh, that is like, you know, there's a title and then there's like the long title. Oh yes. Um, if you guys are interested in watching Higehiro, I H I D E H I R O. Um, yeah, this Wikipedia labels it as it is a Japanese rom-com light novel series as well. Or like that's what it's based off of. So quite interesting. But the title like that is, I think it's safe to assume that it's a light novel. Yeah, it's a light novel. Oh yeah. Everything is at this point. Yeah, it's true. Cause everyone's trying to sell books. That's my, that's my shtick. That's my 2021 shtick. Everyone's trying to buy books. Sell books. Sorry. Not a lot of people buy books. People are trying to sell books. But if you sell books, some people's got to buy it. Cool, cool, cool. Yes. I want to buy a book before we end out. Maybe. Cole, what is the plot of your light novel specifically? What is Cole's specific light novel plot? Do you infiltrate a gang? Um, so you talked about at the beginning of the show. He likes murder, treasure and adventure. Yeah. Oh my God. One day I'm playing out in the street and I get hit by a truck and I wake up and I'm actually a bunch of treasure. And people take my pieces and scatter them to all the corners of the world. So instead I start to learn how to talk to people to recombine my pieces so that way we can pay for a new body for me. Through the, so you are, you are the individual pieces of treasure. I'm not coins. Yeah. The coins and the diamonds and the ruby necklaces. That's me. So you're paying in stocking season two. Wins. French the blues. It turns out that the real treasure is the friends they made along the way. That's the, that's the spin. That's your, the title of your light novel is setting sale for one piece. Setting sale for one piece. I turned into a treasure and now I don't know what to do because all of my bones have been scattered to all the different corners of the world. I need to ask people to help me find my body. Otherwise, I'll dial in the loan. And then you make friends. That's my title. Thank you so much. I love it. You have brought me so much joy. And that is our show, everyone. Thank you. No, well, thank you, Aaron. And thank you very much. Cole, thank you. Thank you. Issa. Thank you for thanking me. Thank you. Thank you. I don't have, I called out a lot of videos for you guys to watch. So next stream that we have coming up tomorrow and our TTV is death battle cast according to this. Thanks guys for watching. I have notes. See you next time. Bye. Bye.
