Episode Transcript

[00:00:08] Speaker A: I guess it's time to move on. What hot was not there? [00:00:12] Speaker B: Yes. About that time, man. So let me go ahead and go first, I guess. What's hot and what's not my what's hot? Honestly, I really ain't been doing too much. I've been. I've been kind of, you know, working a little bit too hard, so I really don't have a what's hot right now. I'm trying to check out a few things, but nothing really sticking at the moment as far as what's high, what's not. Nothing there really either. You know what? Actually, I take that back. There is a manga. It is really, really stupid. It's this thing about my girlfriend is I think it's like, 10,000 years from the past. [00:01:02] Speaker A: Oh, I've heard that. [00:01:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah, man. You think it'll be, like a comedy, right, because of, you know, like, the actual title. Like, it's just this, you know, college kid, and he finds this, this chick one day in his stairwell of his apartment, hiding out like a cat in the rain. She has no idea where she came from. And he walks past first, she tries to kill him with the sword. He runs into his apartment, and then he realizes, oh, wait a minute. She was beautiful. Maybe she needs help. Let me go back and help her. And so she really doesn't understand what he's saying at first. And then he realized, oh, that's a real katana. Well, that's cool. So let me try to get her into my apartment so no one else will get her because she seems like that. Like she's from some, like, crazy, you know, cosplay place. Right. He gets her in and then realizes that she's from the past. And. And so, like, his whole point is to introduce her to the world very slowly. And he doesn't want anyone finding out about her because they'll take her away because she's so special. They'll, you know, try to run tests on her, and he lets her know, don't want to rain for me. Stay at home. I'll bring you all the food you want, and just don't go anywhere, okay? And I'll take you anywhere you want to go whenever I get home. He's a loser, by the way. He has no money. He's a loser. And it's a really slow story. You think it would be a comedy based on how they have it, and it's not funny in the least, and it's just a drag, drawn out story, so I wouldn't recommend it. To anybody. But maybe it gets better later on. It's. It's actually really long made, but it sucks, right? So that's my was. [00:02:53] Speaker A: I was professor, man. [00:02:57] Speaker D: What's hot, man? I'm gonna get something DLC. Put me on to transition Academy manga. I'm reading right now. This character, he's in this world where they have these awakens where, like, 50 years ago, monsters attacked the earth. And so these awakens defended the earth, and they became heroes. When the years pass, these heroes are no longer heroes. They just become these superpowered people who make money by defeating dungeons. And so you got this guy who's an awakened, but he works at a construction company. To actually become an actual hero or to actually go fight dungeons, you have to actually go to an academy that they have set up. Academies cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars. So you can't be broke and go to an academy. So he's trying to save up money to go to academy, saves up enough money to go to a second rate academy, gets hurt on the job, needs surgery. So he has spent all his money on surgery. He gets this email from this transition, from this transition academy about, hey, join our academy. He thinks this, you know, he thinks it's a scam. They want, like, $40,000, which all he had in the bank, he has heard has surgery. He only has 3000. So they sent another email saying, we'll take you out as a student for $3,000. So he's like, what the hell? Joins the academy, starts doing lectures on his phone. Nobody can see the lectures but him. So everybody, it just looks like he's looking at a blank screen. So people think he's crazy. So he just going through these lectures, and he's actually getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And he starts applying what he's learning, and he just gets stronger, stronger and stronger. And so you got this cat just going through this transition academy, um, becoming stronger, trying to go through the world. You know, he's going through, like, these mock exams and trials. So this is the very beginning. But right now it's pretty, it's a pretty cool story. And so I'm really enjoying it ever. They even got to the meat of the plot yet, but it's pretty good. So for that, what's hottest transition academy, what's not is I'm watching this anime called am I actually the strongest? And so I got this character. He's reincarnated. Um, they make him super powered. Like, um, I guess like his. If you say when you gauge a strength on this orb, it shows up as a one, but it's actually like a 1001. Well, the orb didn't go up that high. And so only riches as a one. And so he's born as a prince of this kingdom. And so the king is strong. The king is, you know, I don't remember how strong the king is, but the queen, she's the strongest in the land. So they expected him to be superpower. When he comes out as a one, I think he's trash. So they just abandon him. They actually send him to a forest to die. And so there's this duke who finds him and he rescues. He hears about it getting abandoned, so he rescues him and he raised him as his own son. He turns out to be really superpower. Everybody thinks he's weak, but he's actually superpower. Initially, you think, okay, this is gonna be a really good anime, good story. It's just a really generic story. His relationship with his sister is annoying and weird. He introduces her, like anime. He can create, like, you know, tvs and things like that. He drew certain anime from his. From anime, and she's enjoying that. He's pretending to be a superhero. It's just the story. And so what's not is, am I really the strongest? I mean, if you ain't got nothing better to do. You watched everything. You've read everything. I'm. I guess you can watch it, but it's not hot, so I don't recommend it. [00:06:17] Speaker A: Okay. All right, professor. All right, pooh bear. What you got for us was hot. Was not. Or was not. [00:06:26] Speaker C: What I got hot is. Is something being mister conspiracy suggested to me was, uh. I don't know if anybody said it or not. Any other Thomas, a second life ranker. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Oh, man. [00:06:40] Speaker C: Listen, I'm so mad. I'm caught up right now. [00:06:44] Speaker D: I was. [00:06:44] Speaker C: I was binging it, bro. Oh, my God. This guy, he's a twin. And his twin went to this other world like usual. Became, you know, top of line bad, bad. But, you know, I mean, but he got betrayed. His own people betrayed and killed him. So he sends his twin, who's an actual killer. No, being trained. Military. Um. Was he special forces? [00:07:12] Speaker B: Who. [00:07:12] Speaker C: Just military? [00:07:13] Speaker A: No. [00:07:16] Speaker C: Here's the funny thing that I don't think anybody got. His people left him when they. [00:07:21] Speaker B: In a war. [00:07:22] Speaker A: Yep. [00:07:24] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. So he. I think I'm a year or something. So he survived and killing on his own. So dude already knows how to kill and how to fight, right? So he gets this recorder. Was it a pocket. I think it was a pocket watch. [00:07:36] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:07:38] Speaker C: So he says, I'm recorder of everything. Like, hey, man, this is real. This. What happened left? I got over here. Did, you know, laid everything out. His brother's like, oh, hell no. This. I'm gonna go kill everybody again. This is his twin, man. He gets in there, he finds out how to get into the place automatically because his brother's giving him the cheat code. Basically give him a whole cheat book on the place. What to do. How do you get special items? Things that he didn't even do before that he should have. So he's got a cheap book. He's already a killer, and now he's getting overpowered killer getting revenge for his brother. I'm not gonna say any. Anything else about it. Please read the makeup because I don't want to spoil anything. I can't wait. I can't wait for them to. I might wait a while. Let it build up some work. [00:08:33] Speaker A: So disgusting. What's not. [00:08:35] Speaker C: I don't really have anything right now. Everything, you know, like, so far, I'm liking only have. I'm not hot right now. [00:08:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:44] Speaker C: For my vending machine, man. [00:08:48] Speaker B: We ain't gonna let that go, bro. [00:08:51] Speaker C: I still can't believe that is a anime. [00:08:54] Speaker A: I look, they've done dumber. I thought I told somebody. There's actually. There's actually some dumber than that. I'm a hot spring. [00:09:02] Speaker C: Yeah, I just. [00:09:06] Speaker A: Okay, now I'm gonna be controversial. And my pick, now I'm only picking it. Let me. Let me clarify what I'm picking. One specific episode, okay? Mukashi tenside jobless reincarnation on what's not. Okay, one particular episode, my man kidnapped these chicks and he ended up sexually harassing him and as questionable behavior. And I'm like, yo, I can't. I gotta call that out, right? I gotta call it out. And if you seen. If you've watched it, you know which episode I'm talking about. That's probably why Pooh bear's laughing where he kidnapped them chicks. He filling them up like he trying to teach him a lesson. And he leave them tied up and they piss on themselves. You know what I'm saying? Okay, I take issue with that because you need to put a warning out there. It need to be a spoiler. He treat. He treat them. [00:10:07] Speaker C: I like. [00:10:07] Speaker A: That's close to sex trafficking as you go get, right? My. That's. That's what's not. Okay, cuz I gotta call that out. I gotta call that out. [00:10:17] Speaker B: Agreed. [00:10:17] Speaker C: Now the rest of it is a pretty cool anime. Yeah, you watch it, but yeah, that part you're like, what the. [00:10:27] Speaker A: And the grandma was a ho. The elf grandma was a ho. She getting banged out every episode. So yeah, I gotta. [00:10:36] Speaker D: So not controversial. So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna back up. Yo, what's not. And so the second season is, to me, is not hot. I like the first season, the second season, I've not seen the episode you're talking about because I stopped watching it. It's really wasn't entertaining. [00:10:51] Speaker A: So you have to. So I've been reading the manga, so I'm so far. I'm really far ahead. So I knew this was getting ready to happen because it kind of slows down a little bit. Right. You. You kind of get into the, I guess his love life. Yeah, it's hilarious. But I have to call out that for my. What's not that one specific episode. Like, yo, you need to put a warning up there because that's some wild stuff. Okay, so I'll throw that out there now. My was hot. If you haven't read it, I just finished it. It's a 200 chapters max level returner. [00:11:40] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:11:41] Speaker B: Absolutely. Yes. [00:11:42] Speaker A: You upset one of my, is one of my favorite mangas. You know, it completed and so I was kind of sad because it actually finished, but man, is so good. And what it's about is, is it starts off with your normal characters, and basically it's like sword art online happens, except they actually get transported into the eternal world, which is what it call. Yeah, is what it's called. And then all of a sudden, while they get transported, dungeons and stuff start appearing on earth and they start killing people left and right. And then all of a sudden, as you die in the game that's happening in real life, all those players are transported. As they die. They come back, and then the. The hero of the story, he's the only one who's completed the game. Like, he got to the final boss, and you find out the final boss is like, yo, I'm sending you back, you know. Cause I need to be entertained. And so, you know, he starts over and he's called the mass monarch, and the dude is a beast. And their world, I mean, so it's a great story. Listen, if you get a chance to read Max level returner, like I said, it's completed. It's good. I mean, it's worth the read on the 200 episodes. Never a dull moment. I just love the main character. I love his sight, his vision. So on what he's wanting to do with his world. So that's. That's what I would say. My what's hot was not. That's why I say it's kind of controversial. The what's not? Because people love mocha shoot Tensai. But that episode is a little creepy to me, so I gotta throw that out there. So what else do we got? I think that's the end of the show. Gentlemen, audience, everybody else who didn't showed up and listened to this madness. Um, you know, hey, man, give me a five star review for that fight I had to have with the professor, man, you know, holla at your boy. Give. Give me some thumbs up because nobody was winning that fight. So help a brother out here. Tell. Tell me I won. Make me feel better. I need a moral. [00:13:38] Speaker C: Good job, doc. [00:13:40] Speaker B: Good job, doc. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Uh oh. Our music's cutting on. That's letting you know it's time to go. This Midwest anime show, get your little deadpool on. Get your unicorn on. If you don't have a unicorn, we might mail you one. If you give us enough likes, might hit you. Throw a contest out there. Peace out. [00:14:12] Speaker C: Bam, baby. [00:14:16] Speaker A: We close.
