Speaker 1: Hey, how's it going everyone, How you're doing, how you feeling,
Speaker 1: and how you're doing. Welcome to another episode of Nerdificent
Speaker 1: And sitting across from me as always is Jenny Fernandez.
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm if you introduced myself. I was
Speaker 1: just so hyped to be both. Oh man, yeah, how
Speaker 1: how you doing, Danny? How's your how's your week? You know? Well?
Speaker 1: The thing because we had our whole month that we
Speaker 1: did mental health May and so like something that I've
Speaker 1: been talking to my therapist about is um celebrating my
Speaker 1: winds more because I don't, like, you know me, I'm
Speaker 1: very perfectionist and competitive and like I'll get something like
Speaker 1: I'll book a roll or whatever. I'm like, cool, great,
Speaker 1: onto the next one? What else? What else? I need
Speaker 1: to do more? And it's just like not healthy. I
Speaker 1: don't recommend it. People will be like, how how do
Speaker 1: you do so many things? It's like I'm a perfectionist
Speaker 1: that I'm never happy. Don't do it like it's not
Speaker 1: worth it. Um. And so anyways, long story short, I've
Speaker 1: been trying to treat myself like even if it's just
Speaker 1: for an afternoon, like I took myself out to the
Speaker 1: middle of like nowhere essentially, and had like tacos and
Speaker 1: was just in peace and um social distancing, you know. Um.
Speaker 1: But even like going to a beach where like a
Speaker 1: secluded beach, uh and just like going into the water
Speaker 1: and like just appreciating my winds. So I've been trying
Speaker 1: to do that more, even if they're small, it's necessary,
Speaker 1: I feel to do that. So that's what I've been doing.
Speaker 1: I've been like, you know, I've been doing my my
Speaker 1: getting my vibe right. And I've been watching a lot
Speaker 1: of anime, which is good because that brings us to
Speaker 1: what we're talking about today. We're talking about one of
Speaker 1: the anime staples, one of the one of the anime
Speaker 1: ambassadors for a lot of people around our age and
Speaker 1: talking about it with us today is none other than
Speaker 1: j D Witherspoon. A k A run, j D Run?
Speaker 1: What did do? Hey? Hi? What's up? J D? Here?
Speaker 1: How y'all doing? How you feeling? Man? I'm feeling good.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling great. Glad to have you on, Glad to
Speaker 1: see Danny sipping on her coffee. Uh, feeling good. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, you know, I guess we'll be
Speaker 1: talking about anime the whole time. But we like to
Speaker 1: start off with, you know, asking our guests what they're
Speaker 1: nerd ing out about this week. So what's something you've
Speaker 1: been nerding out about this week? Um? You know, in
Speaker 1: this past week, I have had the privilege of watching
Speaker 1: some new anime. Finally. I've been so out of the loop,
Speaker 1: but I started watching Fire Force. I haven't already, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's every everyone I know is talking about it.
Speaker 1: So that's a great choice. Oh no, that that show
Speaker 1: is I mean, well, you know, not to uh sound
Speaker 1: like a pun. It is heat, it's good, it is
Speaker 1: it is lit. There's a fiery emoji at the end
Speaker 1: of it somewhere. It's it's really good. I I genuinely
Speaker 1: enjoy it. And the story is so obscure. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, anime, I see, I see you stepping
Speaker 1: things up. I got that's cool. Yeah, just just mixing
Speaker 1: it up a bit, you know. And that's the funny
Speaker 1: thing about anime, right. It could be like these deep storylines,
Speaker 1: or it could be an anime about girls pushing each
Speaker 1: other off of a you know, stool in a pool
Speaker 1: with their boobs and butts only uh, I forget the
Speaker 1: name of that one, but that's that's the one that
Speaker 1: everyone references when they say animal be wildin me this week,
Speaker 1: I think what I'm nearing out about is Ghost of Tsushima.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be dropping, you know. You know. Now, it
Speaker 1: was funny because with Last of Us, Sony hooked it
Speaker 1: up with the early copy and everyone was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. But now I'm seeing the homies with the
Speaker 1: early copy of Ghost of Sushima, and I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: now it's my turn to feel that jealousy. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I need it. I need to be slicing people.
Speaker 1: M m. Yeah. And for people who don't know, Ghost
Speaker 1: of Sushima is this new like Samurai game, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's heavily inspired by Kurosaura and so like there's a
Speaker 1: whole Kurosawa mode that I didn't I don't even know
Speaker 1: about that I'm excited to try out. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: it's gonna be that heat. I cannot wait. Uh and
Speaker 1: I only have to wait a few more days. Yeah.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, Well, you you're like damning over there,
Speaker 1: too much cold brill And I've just looked over at
Speaker 1: Baby's box and she was like vibeing. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just in my head. I told everyone I live
Speaker 1: in a little fantasy world. In my head. I'm just
Speaker 1: like dancing. You know, whatever brings you joy during this pandemic.
Speaker 1: Um okay, So I started started a reading slash listening,
Speaker 1: which I still consider reading on audible. Um this book
Speaker 1: by Sylvia Moreno Garcia. It's called Mexican Gothic and it's
Speaker 1: really dope. It's set in Mexico. It's this I'm only
Speaker 1: on chapter seven, so I'm not sure entirely what's all
Speaker 1: going to happen. But it's a horror novel and it's
Speaker 1: essentially this woman who I think she's in her early
Speaker 1: twenties ish her cousin, who's like one of her best friends,
Speaker 1: ends up marrying this guy who has a lot of money,
Speaker 1: and like she kind of disappears, and so she goes
Speaker 1: to visit her and it's in this like really creepy,
Speaker 1: haunted like town that has a lot of history and
Speaker 1: this like evil stepmother and stuff. So I'm still learning
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen. I'm really fascinated. But if
Speaker 1: you want to support um, Latina's in the horror space,
Speaker 1: then definitely check out this book, which is a great
Speaker 1: horror novel and you can read along with me because
Speaker 1: I'm still getting into it. So yeah, definitely check it out.
Speaker 1: It's on audible if you're like me and dance around
Speaker 1: in life apparently and don't sit still. I can't sit still,
Speaker 1: and so I'm always like cleaning and I'm listening to
Speaker 1: it or cooking and I'm listening to it. So um, yeah,
Speaker 1: check it out, you know, Um, I think we'll just
Speaker 1: jump right into it with you know, the early beginnings
Speaker 1: of Tonami, which I remember, which is you know, launched,
Speaker 1: and then that was the Maltar Error. That was the
Speaker 1: Maltar Era, and yeah, it wasn't at this time. It
Speaker 1: wasn't like the anime Haven that it was before, premiered
Speaker 1: March sevent and it replaced this block called power Zone
Speaker 1: and then it was like a weekday afternoon cartoon action
Speaker 1: block and it had Malta from Space Ghosts, which you know,
Speaker 1: well Space Ghost was running from coast to coast, so
Speaker 1: he was already Yeah, it was like, so I'll just
Speaker 1: in that with that from Malta who was at the
Speaker 1: time on Space Ghost Coast to coast, so it wasn't
Speaker 1: like a wild reference for kids, like they were like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I remember that guy from that show. Uh
Speaker 1: and it was in the Ghost Planet Industries building. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you all remember this ever much? I remember bits
Speaker 1: and pieces, bits and pieces of Tsunami or just like
Speaker 1: space Ghost or all this stuff. Was the host of
Speaker 1: Tsunami and he would just pretty much like pull levers
Speaker 1: and that would start shows. What I feel like, I
Speaker 1: remember that, But was that pre the main host that
Speaker 1: Steve yea or yeah, because we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: that because he said the main host Steve well, giuse me,
Speaker 1: not the main but the guy who he's the one
Speaker 1: that people know. But I know that there was someone
Speaker 1: else who played his voice. Yeah, for like a year,
Speaker 1: and then I think he came back for one more year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know, but I don't know why
Speaker 1: I don't. I think I do remember such a brief.
Speaker 1: It was so short though. It was like it was
Speaker 1: like Moltar be like blah blah, and he would just
Speaker 1: like he'd be like he would like pull a lever
Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, we got some u yasha tonight,
Speaker 1: we should check that out. And I just remember I
Speaker 1: remember that, but I remember the vibe being so off
Speaker 1: because he wasn't like smooth or cool. He was just
Speaker 1: kind of like, yeah, you like you like you like anime. Shut.
Speaker 1: This was before they had kind of officially moved over
Speaker 1: to anime, so they had a lot of non anime
Speaker 1: because they took over that power zone. They wanted just
Speaker 1: like action shows for that, which they still had, you
Speaker 1: know when it fully moved over to Toonami, they still
Speaker 1: had like it was kind of the it was like
Speaker 1: the call for like they just wanted action adventure that
Speaker 1: was like supposed to be the block at the time,
Speaker 1: So even the anime that that they allowed to exist
Speaker 1: had to largely be action adventure. Um. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: was before dbz uh and before Gundham and before a
Speaker 1: lot of uh those shows that we finally got in
Speaker 1: the Tom era. Oh yeah yeah, so yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: what That's what I was saying, because the Tom Tom
Speaker 1: era was was dope and uh and so it was
Speaker 1: first Sunny Straight and then it was Steve, which Steve
Speaker 1: we know voices all buff characters. So it's also funny
Speaker 1: that this was like Chubby Tom. You remember how at
Speaker 1: first he had like oh yeah, yeah, yeah he did,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm tripping. This is so this is this
Speaker 1: is just taking me back. I forgot about all of this.
Speaker 1: We and the reason we start doing this episode is
Speaker 1: because we're doing the Cartoon net Work episode and me
Speaker 1: and Danny had that like flashback when we were reading through,
Speaker 1: like oh snap, and we're like, we gotta do a
Speaker 1: whole episode just on two Nami because this is this
Speaker 1: is what straight up fueled me into the anime nerd
Speaker 1: I in today. Like this was like you know, because
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day, Internet wasn't popping like that.
Speaker 1: You you have to get fans subs if you don't
Speaker 1: know what fans subs were. That that was when the
Speaker 1: one we who actually understood Japanese would be translating the
Speaker 1: Japanese dub and then they'd be putting whatever they want.
Speaker 1: They'd be adding cuss wars like the G two be
Speaker 1: dropping F bomb. We Uh. We had a we had
Speaker 1: a spot, me and my boy, we had a spot
Speaker 1: near a Toys r Us that used to sell uh
Speaker 1: dubbed tapes that that I don't know if he dubbed
Speaker 1: them or if he just works or if he wants
Speaker 1: a Little Tokyo and and bought them a wholesale to
Speaker 1: try to make a profit. But he, my boy, had
Speaker 1: all that the Dragon Ball Z episodes that Tsunami refused
Speaker 1: to get to, that they that they took so long
Speaker 1: to get to. He was like, bro, I can't wait anymore, Yo,
Speaker 1: Let's watch this. Let's watch this, uh this movie about
Speaker 1: some dude name Jannemba. And I was like, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so and it was it was just the japan It
Speaker 1: was the original Japanese show with it wasn't dub it
Speaker 1: was subs so it was subtitled um the Japanese subtitle one.
Speaker 1: And it was like some of the stuff that was
Speaker 1: written on the screen. I was like, is this what
Speaker 1: they're talking about? I was so confused. Now those were
Speaker 1: the j one, so like around that you you pretty
Speaker 1: much were relying on like Tsunami. But yeah, they had
Speaker 1: the new host, Tom, which was voiced by Sonny Straight
Speaker 1: at the time, and this is and he had the
Speaker 1: speech to kick it off, my best Sonny A Straight,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be bad. So it's a brand new Tunami,
Speaker 1: but the mission objectives remained the same. My name is Tom,
Speaker 1: I'm the new Moltar. Welcome aboard the Ghost Planets spaceship
Speaker 1: Absolution Cartoon Networks first and only Interstellar broadcast an exploration vehicle.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the tour later. From this day forward,
Speaker 1: she is completely responsible for all two Nami transitions. I'm
Speaker 1: taking you guys into the new millennium. No big changes now,
Speaker 1: same show, same attitude, new place to do, new guy
Speaker 1: to do it with. I'm not gonna waste any more time.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to it later. And then that also
Speaker 1: premiered the Midnight Run, which who that was that one?
Speaker 1: That one that's when you have those like it was
Speaker 1: because I remember the one thing I remember from Midnight
Speaker 1: Run that I would that I can never forget. It
Speaker 1: was always Dragon ball Z uncut. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what they're gonna show on that and all it wasn't that.
Speaker 1: It was like all the blood stuff that they tried
Speaker 1: to hide from us, they showed it to us. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking I thought Mama was about to come out nude
Speaker 1: or something like the way like because also at the time,
Speaker 1: for those who didn't know, we also had BT uncut,
Speaker 1: which you got to see the uncut tip drill video,
Speaker 1: which is not the same at all. Well that was
Speaker 1: do you remember in dB Z like so they would
Speaker 1: have the blood was like purple. Yeah, that's like so
Speaker 1: basically you just got to see red or non existent yeah, true, true, true,
Speaker 1: So basically you just got to see red blood like
Speaker 1: coming out of vegeta as opposed to the purple but
Speaker 1: uncut and we were staying up late. I remember seeing
Speaker 1: Krillin getting pierced by freezes Horn during the second Transformation, Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Japanese, and I remember watching it. I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell is this episode? I was like, this
Speaker 1: did not happen in America because Freezer like rams him
Speaker 1: and then like like ride makes him ride the horn
Speaker 1: for a few minutes and he's like he's just like
Speaker 1: he's just get stabbed. And I'm like, yo, this, I
Speaker 1: don't remember this. This is gross. Which, by the way,
Speaker 1: um we should mention Krillan, voiced by Sunny Straight is
Speaker 1: the voice of Tom this first this first running Wow,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Um so he did sound not like how
Speaker 1: if he sounded very smooth? Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I was like Sunny Straight was a blaxploitation. I don't remember,
Speaker 1: Hey Straight, and welcome back to Tonami. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: this man sounds too smooth. He was This is from
Speaker 1: the wiki was a well, by the way, Tom's stands
Speaker 1: for to Nami Operations module and this was like a
Speaker 1: pudgier shorter funny that it was voiced by Krill and
Speaker 1: this is the shortest version of tom um And yeah,
Speaker 1: so he he was like our little uh, our little DJ.
Speaker 1: Essentially he was the best version. I didn't like when
Speaker 1: he got buff I was like, what is this is said?
Speaker 1: I was like, bro at the glow up. I was like,
Speaker 1: give me back the couch potato. I can resonate with
Speaker 1: what do you say? Like, like what you put the
Speaker 1: gut back on him? So I can get back to
Speaker 1: feeling the same as he is when it comes to
Speaker 1: watching my anime. Let me eat my chips in the bed,
Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, oh yeah, I forgot this new
Speaker 1: the new one was like, yeah, y'all, well I'll go ahead. No,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the Intruder okay. So so how
Speaker 1: that came to be is they had this like this
Speaker 1: eight episode mini series called The Intruder where and it
Speaker 1: ended with him really um iconically like getting taken over
Speaker 1: by like molten where he was like sinking um and
Speaker 1: that's how he essentially, quote unquote like died. He also
Speaker 1: had an Ai Sarah I don't know if you remember, yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of floated around him um. And so this all
Speaker 1: took place in his ship called the Absolution, and then
Speaker 1: when he came out, she like essentially rebuilt him. She's
Speaker 1: like Tom Tom and he comes out and he's like
Speaker 1: totally jacked, and I don't know. I feel like also
Speaker 1: because was this the error where they had reboot? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they had reboot early on, so I feel like they
Speaker 1: were taking some some notes from some of those jacked
Speaker 1: res sexy characters on reboot. They have some gifts of
Speaker 1: him in the I I linked also all the Tom's
Speaker 1: in the chat. But also here's a site that has
Speaker 1: kind of like uh is explaining like his evolution and
Speaker 1: he came out with that thing on him. He came
Speaker 1: and he started blast and I was like, dang, that's tight.
Speaker 1: I'm watching like a Tsunami retrospective video right now in
Speaker 1: the background just to remember all this stuff. I'm watching
Speaker 1: this video of of Tsunami, just realizing how all they
Speaker 1: did was repurpose old ass anime. Oh yeah, us low
Speaker 1: yeall just I'm sitting here and I'm like, I'm like
Speaker 1: yo lo ki. They played us like like it's all
Speaker 1: this stuff was dope, But I'm looking at like throwback
Speaker 1: animal like brod These are eighties animes that they were
Speaker 1: trying to sell us in the late nineties. They were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this this is we can we can make some out
Speaker 1: of this, right Yeah, it's like you got it. We
Speaker 1: have to take a really quick break and then we're
Speaker 1: going to hop into Tom era too in the anime
Speaker 1: that was behind it, that was my era right after this,
Speaker 1: and we're back so Tom the second era, the beefed
Speaker 1: up Tom had like a bomb r esque character. He
Speaker 1: was taller, sleeker, deeper voiced. Um they Sonny got to
Speaker 1: stay as Krillan, but Steve Blum is the one that
Speaker 1: took over as his voice. And they also added a
Speaker 1: Saturday morning block. I don't know if you'all remember this
Speaker 1: was called to Nami Rising sun Um. This was from
Speaker 1: two thousand and two thousand one and it was at
Speaker 1: nine am. I think they were really trying to figure
Speaker 1: out their kids age bracket because they had hooked a
Speaker 1: lot of middle school and high school kids. At least
Speaker 1: that's what I watched when I came home from school
Speaker 1: at four pm, like that, that two Nami block, but
Speaker 1: then they had the uncut. They stayed up a little
Speaker 1: bit later, realizing that high school and college kids were
Speaker 1: highly consuming it, and then they were like, how do
Speaker 1: we capitalize on the little ones though, or at least
Speaker 1: the younger so like that block um was more age
Speaker 1: appropriate I think for like elementary and middle school, and
Speaker 1: they also had it on over. They had a two
Speaker 1: Nami block over on WB Kids or kids WB lineup,
Speaker 1: they also had it, and then eventually just realized it
Speaker 1: was a lot of competition with each other, which was
Speaker 1: fascinating to Nami ended up competing a lot with adult swim.
Speaker 1: So they were still like trying to figure this out
Speaker 1: what they were doing the morning block that I remember
Speaker 1: because I was gonna say I were remember when I
Speaker 1: was really young, I was watching Dragon Ball in the
Speaker 1: mornings and I had and I had to wake up
Speaker 1: really early to watch the new episode. Same with Pokemon. Uh,
Speaker 1: Pokemon wasn't wasn't the Tunami stuff, But I just remember
Speaker 1: maybe that was the w B thing because I remember
Speaker 1: getting up and getting almost at least in the in
Speaker 1: the first arc of the Freezer Saga watching that, and
Speaker 1: and the and also the the saying saga and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. And I'm trying to remember. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: remember it being on early in the mornings, and then
Speaker 1: randomly Tsunami came out and it would be on in
Speaker 1: the afternoon, and then they went and started like a
Speaker 1: late night after like later block of their of their viewing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So so during the first TOM block, the shows they
Speaker 1: had running during that first TOM one point, I will
Speaker 1: say was Batman, the animated series, DBZ, Gundam, Wayne, The
Speaker 1: Real Adventures of Johnny Quest, Reboot, Running Warriors, Sailor Moon,
Speaker 1: Tinchi in Tokyo, Tinci Muyo and Tinchie Universe, and ThunderCats.
Speaker 1: They they they were already pushing that Tinge on us
Speaker 1: and uh so so then we had we talked about
Speaker 1: you know that that TOM two point oh, and that
Speaker 1: was in September twenty two of two thousand and uh
Speaker 1: and they and they had a few schedule changes, like
Speaker 1: on May fourteenth that changed it from five to seven.
Speaker 1: Then on June three and two thousand and two they
Speaker 1: went back to four to seven. So, but all the
Speaker 1: programs that ran under TOM two point. Oh were the
Speaker 1: Batman the animated series, still going Batman beyond the big
Speaker 1: oh boom. You know, I'm not gonna pick that figure
Speaker 1: up again. The Blue Submarine Number six Card, Captors, Dragon
Speaker 1: Ball and Dragon Ball Z, G Gundam, Gundam, wing Ham Taro,
Speaker 1: which I remember being so he Man, Masters of the Universe,
Speaker 1: Mobile Suit, Gundham, Mobisu, Gundham eight Mobisu Team, Outlast Star,
Speaker 1: which I just got on Blu Ray, Powerpuff Girls reboot,
Speaker 1: Running Warrior still going, Sailor Moons still going, Superman, the
Speaker 1: animated series, Tinchi in Tokyo, Tinchi Moyo, Tinti Universe, both
Speaker 1: of those three still running, ThunderCats and Transformers, Armada, Yeah
Speaker 1: you you Hockey Show and uh you you Hockey Show
Speaker 1: and Zoid's New Century zero and Chaotic Century. So they
Speaker 1: were the were pushing quite a few things. Uh now
Speaker 1: that's like you know, and those are all the different
Speaker 1: ones that were in that block. But I mean these
Speaker 1: this is definitely one that I remember because these have
Speaker 1: all the big ones are big Oh, Outlast Star, Gundam,
Speaker 1: Wing g Gundham, DBZ, Dragonball, uh freaking even like Sailor
Speaker 1: Moon Running Card Capture Sakura. You know, uh, Tinchi Moyo,
Speaker 1: all that Tinchi run. Like, I think this was the
Speaker 1: one I was really watching regularly from Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I it's so fascinating. I know I've talked about high
Speaker 1: love Tinchi Moyo, and maybe it was just from the
Speaker 1: sheer amount that it was put at us um, but
Speaker 1: it is really fascinating because out of all these I
Speaker 1: still gravitated so much to DBZ, which is wild. It's
Speaker 1: just like that fan base became so ravenous. I think
Speaker 1: that that helped. Well, I mean, I don't know a
Speaker 1: better word to describe it. I mean people would go
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what j D was saying, like
Speaker 1: we would go out of our way to get stubs
Speaker 1: and subs, and like you know, of course everyone jokes
Speaker 1: that too. Nomally would re air the same episodes, but
Speaker 1: like I was playing earlier, that's because of the Ocean
Speaker 1: dub then moving over to the Funimation dub, and so
Speaker 1: it was like all this like delay essentially and getting
Speaker 1: English version over here. Um. But also I think a
Speaker 1: reason why we we became obsessed is because we were
Speaker 1: just inundated with the same you know, uh, the same
Speaker 1: shows on here, but um, they threw in some other things,
Speaker 1: like you said, like uh, powerpuff Girls, you know, things
Speaker 1: that weren't necessarily things that were in their regular line
Speaker 1: up that they added it. And and it really like
Speaker 1: it like watching like like kind of like looking at
Speaker 1: this list, I can totally see how everyone has like
Speaker 1: broken off, you know, from from this, Like all the
Speaker 1: gundham Heads are in here. You know, you got big
Speaker 1: robos because you have the Gundam's big Oh then you
Speaker 1: have like Outlast Star you know in here, you know,
Speaker 1: holding it down and I and the uu hockeu shows
Speaker 1: of it all like these these were like all the
Speaker 1: I feel like the anime sex were starting right here. Um.
Speaker 1: And also this is the this was the list that
Speaker 1: if if if you were talking to some like gate
Speaker 1: keep Ee Weaves, you you have to say something other
Speaker 1: than these you you can you can say they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh you watch Yeah, I'm sure you watch you show,
Speaker 1: but have you seen this thing a bit like shut up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They started to do cool things to like, um, expanding
Speaker 1: just from what their list was they had In two
Speaker 1: thousand three, it was the week of February they did
Speaker 1: Giant Robot Week. I don't know if you remember that.
Speaker 1: It was a five day special where they only aired
Speaker 1: MEC series and mac anime. Um, so they were they
Speaker 1: were taking a lot of risks, I think, um over
Speaker 1: there trying to see They were still trying to figure
Speaker 1: out their demo, at least in my opinion, by like
Speaker 1: the different experiments they did with having a late night,
Speaker 1: having an early morning, moving their times around, trying to
Speaker 1: figure out like which kids they were hooking. Um. And
Speaker 1: so then we go into the Tom three era, which
Speaker 1: was two thousand three to two thousand seven. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know what's really funny, Like their Masthead show in
Speaker 1: my opinion, which was DVZ had super muscular buff dudes,
Speaker 1: so um oh yeah. They also premiered their own show,
Speaker 1: which was Immortal Grand Prix. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys remember that. I remember it. I definitely sounds familiar. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like let me, I'm gonna look up images
Speaker 1: because I had the name. Yeah yeah, I g p
Speaker 1: X Immortal Grand Prix. Uh. It reminded me a lot
Speaker 1: about because it was like a racing show. But like
Speaker 1: I think they wore these like these Yeah, they had
Speaker 1: these giants suits and it reminded me a lot of
Speaker 1: Tiger Bunny UM and I think I used to mix
Speaker 1: them mix them up a lot because of that. And
Speaker 1: so another thing that they did during this time was
Speaker 1: they actually took to Namie off of weekday afternoons and
Speaker 1: they moved it to a Saturday evening slot. I think
Speaker 1: this also represented one that that you know, on our
Speaker 1: Cartoon Network episode, we talked about how Cartoon Network like
Speaker 1: was in their heyday. This was like Atta and Nettie,
Speaker 1: power Puff Girls, Dexter like all of those. So that
Speaker 1: was their afternoon block, and so they ended up moving
Speaker 1: to Nami to weekday afternoons, um and and late night.
Speaker 1: I think to also show how their viewership was aging.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the kids that were starting
Speaker 1: to watch them, that watched them in say nine, we're
Speaker 1: now graduating high school and so it was still trying
Speaker 1: to figure out I still to this day think they're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out their demo. UM. But we'll get
Speaker 1: into that too, because now they're competing against streaming anime services.
Speaker 1: I guess um j D. I had a question like
Speaker 1: what shows did you resonate with the most and how
Speaker 1: do you remember consuming two Nami didn't. Were you watching
Speaker 1: it late at night? Were you watching the main block
Speaker 1: after school? Like? What was your how are you consuming it?
Speaker 1: I think I was definitely one of the after school consumers,
Speaker 1: like because I vividly remember bothering my parents to pick
Speaker 1: me up on time so and they and they'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta come home soily for what can't you just
Speaker 1: hang at school and play on the yard. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: stop neglecting me, pick me up and take me home
Speaker 1: so I can so I can heat up some pop
Speaker 1: tarts and some nest quick so I can watch whatever
Speaker 1: whatever is coming on this afternoon. Because I know, I
Speaker 1: know when I was when I was younger. I know
Speaker 1: for like a fact that, like, um, because I'm looking
Speaker 1: through the shows right now, I know Beast Wars, Transformers
Speaker 1: was he I was. I was so into that I was.
Speaker 1: I remember specifically saying to myself, yo, I was. I
Speaker 1: was specifically saying, you know, Transformers has has never been
Speaker 1: as good I was. I was like, I was like,
Speaker 1: I was, like the fact that they ever thought transforming
Speaker 1: into into cars or planes was ever cool? Was trash?
Speaker 1: Give me robots that turn into animals. I loved I
Speaker 1: loved Optimus ape Prime and the Cheetah and whatever else
Speaker 1: they did on that cartoon show that that was such
Speaker 1: he Um. Obviously, Dragon ball Z Sailor Moon was great. Um,
Speaker 1: super Friends was trash to me. Reboot to Me was
Speaker 1: probably the first semi representation of animated black people that
Speaker 1: I remember seeing when I was younger, because I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I was like, I know that they're all polygons, but
Speaker 1: my man, my man's has got to wear a do
Speaker 1: ragged night Like I'm looking at this, there's no way.
Speaker 1: And and he had that like, um, he had that like,
Speaker 1: uh what I forgot the name of the dude who
Speaker 1: plays Erkele. Uh he had that type of voice, Jalil
Speaker 1: White he had like that, he had that Jalil White like,
Speaker 1: oh man, y'all, we gotta keep going, like you know,
Speaker 1: it was like the whole show. It was definitely that
Speaker 1: Powerpuff Girls. Dang is that where they debuteded on or
Speaker 1: is that just something that came across nowhere. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think they were like what constitutes anime? We're gonna add
Speaker 1: you know, they were starting to do that with more shows.
Speaker 1: But like you were mentioning, um, super Friends, like they
Speaker 1: did if this is owned by Warner Brothers, and so
Speaker 1: they had a lot of the d C characters that
Speaker 1: they so you know, they ended up having um, you know,
Speaker 1: multiple Batman series like Batman Beyond, I Believe in Teen Titans,
Speaker 1: Justice League Unlimited. So they started to add just started
Speaker 1: to boost it with some of their DC franchises too,
Speaker 1: um and then also having Samurai Jack. You know, they
Speaker 1: had some of their own Cartoon Network produced shows that
Speaker 1: they were that they were adding. Um. But what is
Speaker 1: fascinating about this is like you couldn't miss like as
Speaker 1: far as us, like Racing Home. Everyone talks about like
Speaker 1: Racing Home to see two Nami. The difference between two
Speaker 1: not a lot of Tunami shows and say Cartoon Network
Speaker 1: or Adult Swim is that they a lot of their
Speaker 1: shows were episodic, meaning it would contain all be contained
Speaker 1: in one episode. If you look at Dexter, each episode
Speaker 1: just stands alone. You don't have to watch like if
Speaker 1: you miss an episode of say DBZ, you're gonna be lost.
Speaker 1: Typically it's like a bunch of things will happen that
Speaker 1: will feed into the next episode, so you know, or
Speaker 1: there's a lot of standing around and nothing really happening,
Speaker 1: so you're okay, but like you can't just like it's
Speaker 1: not just like Edit and Eddie where you could pick
Speaker 1: up wherever you wanted, and they're all self contained. So
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about because we're talking about them
Speaker 1: kind of riding there other shows and kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, building this culture and riding the hype, and
Speaker 1: I can't, as a big Robo fan leave the I
Speaker 1: think best American attempt at that which was Megas xl R,
Speaker 1: which was about these two like American dudes, slackers who
Speaker 1: found a robot and used it to fight fight these
Speaker 1: giant monsters, and Andy had like lots of like references
Speaker 1: to different anime, like there was a group called the
Speaker 1: Ultra Chicks that were obviously Sailor Moon rip offs. Like
Speaker 1: it was. It was a really good show Mega's XLR,
Speaker 1: So definitely check it out. We have to take another
Speaker 1: really quick break then we're going to hop into tom
Speaker 1: Era four and their cancelation right after this, and we're
Speaker 1: back now we're talking about tom Era four was very fascinating.
Speaker 1: Um again, they wanted to, i think make a more
Speaker 1: kid friendly version of Tonami because they were starting to
Speaker 1: lose their numbers were starting to lower, so they ended
Speaker 1: up making these two new AI robots and turning Tom
Speaker 1: essentially into I'm not gonna like his face looks like
Speaker 1: Thomas the tank Engine. In fact, there's like memes online
Speaker 1: about out it. UM. I think they were experimenting and
Speaker 1: they just wanted a more I don't know what they
Speaker 1: were going for, um, but they ended up kind of
Speaker 1: just canceling the Twounami block and Tom had this whole
Speaker 1: little send off where he was like, you know, um,
Speaker 1: oh this is it says, well, this is the end,
Speaker 1: beautiful friends. After more than eleven years, this is to
Speaker 1: Nami's final broadcast. It's been a lot of fun, and
Speaker 1: we'd like to thank each and every one of you
Speaker 1: who made this journey with us. Tunami wouldn't have been
Speaker 1: anything without you. Hopefully we've left you with some good memories.
Speaker 1: So until we meet again, stay golden. Bang and he
Speaker 1: um just fired off into the sunset. UM. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so that that happened and it was off the air
Speaker 1: for four years. Actually, well that Tom version four who
Speaker 1: did the because I was no it is I'm looking
Speaker 1: at this time and I forgot about this. This one
Speaker 1: needed to go. You to this one looks ridiculous, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the reason that's the reason it ended.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what. I don't know who.
Speaker 1: I don't know who, who the I don't know who
Speaker 1: the artist was. They needed, they needed to shut that down.
Speaker 1: I forgot. I skipped this era. This is yeah, this this,
Speaker 1: this is two thousand and seven. Oh yeah, I was
Speaker 1: in high school. I wasn't watching Tunami as often as possible.
Speaker 1: I was leaving high school. I was going into college. Yeah, yeah, same.
Speaker 1: I graduate two thousand and six, and by this point
Speaker 1: I've already reached the era when my homie was downloading
Speaker 1: not it though from the internet the fans ups burning
Speaker 1: it to a DVD R to me and then given me.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm already like I've been locally sourcing my
Speaker 1: anime at this point, Like, I'm like, but to the
Speaker 1: early Tuami era, let me see if they have it
Speaker 1: or maybe this was adult Swim. Yeah, it was adult
Speaker 1: Swim at this point, because they had a split at
Speaker 1: one point where Trunami was like some anime and then
Speaker 1: the darker stuff they pushed two adult Swim. So like
Speaker 1: Andreid key Hider, I saw that on Adult Swim, but
Speaker 1: also which Hunter Robin. And the only reason I remember
Speaker 1: rich which Hunter Robin was because I was so hyped
Speaker 1: that and I remember this. I taped all of it
Speaker 1: on the VHS and I was like, I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta get this, and I taped all over all
Speaker 1: the vhs. But then by this point, yeah, we the
Speaker 1: Internet was a little more available, like my dad still
Speaker 1: had me on that net zero, but I still was
Speaker 1: able to, like, you know, download videos here and there.
Speaker 1: I was downloading Red versus Blue videos and I was, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was out of tunami. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 1: meant to add before I forget that that final when
Speaker 1: he said bang is because um, Steve Blum also voices
Speaker 1: Spike from Cowboy Bebop and that's what he says, so
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a little nod to that. Um.
Speaker 1: I also think this is when they were airing Dragon
Speaker 1: Ball GT. So another reason why it needed to end
Speaker 1: hold on that I like got to start with this. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you said that, because I literally wanted
Speaker 1: to do a GT episode And I was like, but
Speaker 1: I have to find someone who messes with GT, because
Speaker 1: I want that be someone who thinks I'm a fight
Speaker 1: for mustache. The arcs were weird, but it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: People act like it was bad. I'm like, how are
Speaker 1: you going to be mad at the man for continuing
Speaker 1: his story? And then they're like, no, no, didn't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it was. I don't think it was Toryama.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a cure. I don't think I mean, I
Speaker 1: think he had kind of he wasn't as I mean,
Speaker 1: I might be wrong and someone all right, but that
Speaker 1: was why it was a big deal. Win super he
Speaker 1: was involved with when he came back and it was like,
Speaker 1: this is this is how it should be. Um carried on.
Speaker 1: But you know what, to your credit j D super
Speaker 1: stating four is the coolest form. They look dope and
Speaker 1: hot and they're just like they're they're fur on their
Speaker 1: bodies along with like they're under their mascara whatever they're wearing,
Speaker 1: their eyeliner. It is a Goku that looks like he
Speaker 1: actually knows what he's doing in the bedroom and out.
Speaker 1: I will say that it was the first time when
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I can't say because we don't
Speaker 1: cuss on here, but I was like this man, f's
Speaker 1: I can tell regular looks like someone's dopey little brother
Speaker 1: who I adore. Um, but that Goku looked like the
Speaker 1: Level fours were interesting, I think the I think the
Speaker 1: reason Level fours were cool to me. To me, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were my favorites, but they
Speaker 1: were cool to me. And I don't even think that's
Speaker 1: really the appeal of of g T I'm more, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, the main appeal is the fact that you
Speaker 1: get to see Goku go back to being a kid
Speaker 1: for for for however long. I kind of thought that
Speaker 1: was dope, just because I watched Dragon Ball back in
Speaker 1: the day, and and it's just dope that little kid
Speaker 1: Goku is just beating the brakes off of people. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I enjoy that. But this look at
Speaker 1: this this man looks like he would take your girlfriend
Speaker 1: in front of you and you'd be okay with it,
Speaker 1: Like we get him. I mean, that's the one thing
Speaker 1: I will if we were going to take this full
Speaker 1: sidebar bar. That's why I like Level four because Level
Speaker 1: four is the only super saying transformation that makes sense.
Speaker 1: You know, like they have all this power in there,
Speaker 1: like you know, their guerrilla form and so of course
Speaker 1: you would think like a powerful form would have some fur,
Speaker 1: have their tail grow back, and so it's like, I
Speaker 1: hope they like reckon it and like added into you,
Speaker 1: you know, newer ones if we get some they should
Speaker 1: because making him skinnier was like not the choice in
Speaker 1: my opinion. Remember how we talked about how you already
Speaker 1: I feel about that. Okay, wait which one which so
Speaker 1: his um but is it his most recent and uh
Speaker 1: in super they made them leaner, they made him skinnier, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and there are a pin in he should be able
Speaker 1: to It was like, you know, most fighters that are
Speaker 1: efficient are not actually bigger, Like that isn't the most
Speaker 1: efficient for how fast and your power? Someone's going to
Speaker 1: write me because I'm butchering this, but essentially that was
Speaker 1: the mentality behind it, was that they would be more
Speaker 1: efficient with their so they wouldn't have to be all
Speaker 1: buffed up. They could be more powerful just with their
Speaker 1: power as opposed to their body, like their physical body.
Speaker 1: Come on now, Beefcake Gokulo, don't even saying that. Saying
Speaker 1: that negates the whole power level power up moment between
Speaker 1: Goku and Freezer. Don't even do that, like when they
Speaker 1: started getting routed out, I was like, yeah, they're getting
Speaker 1: big big. He's like, I'm not even using my full power.
Speaker 1: Will show it to me. Those shoulders turned in the
Speaker 1: freaking planets. I love that. Even though it did I
Speaker 1: didn't care, but I still loved it because because unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that's just what the nineties and early two thousands, eighties
Speaker 1: and everything before that, that's just what that's what power
Speaker 1: meant you. You have, you got muscles, like you know,
Speaker 1: so they can't. They can't. But that's why they have characters.
Speaker 1: When you look at Beers, isn't Jack like that, but
Speaker 1: is a god like stronger than everybody. So they started
Speaker 1: to lean into that more and even to some extent Freezer.
Speaker 1: I always love how they freeze. His dad, King Cold
Speaker 1: is like twice four times his size, but like you know,
Speaker 1: has only half his power. So I love that they
Speaker 1: would constantly surprise the audience by having smaller characters actually
Speaker 1: be the most powerful. Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 1: I think it's yeah, there's definitely a difference between Super
Speaker 1: and DBZ. But I was going to say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: did think, like unless unless this, unless the moment in
Speaker 1: the arc called for it, They did not need de
Speaker 1: Royd out like like now now thinking about now, think now,
Speaker 1: thinking now, literally thinking about that Super Trunks was a
Speaker 1: waste of goddamn time, like like he know, he was good.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that there's a point in the Cell saga
Speaker 1: between uh Cell Dog and everybody in in form number
Speaker 1: one or he was absorbing people, and then when he
Speaker 1: became level two by absorbing uh seventeen, Trunks was the
Speaker 1: I think Vegeta allowed it to happen. He got his
Speaker 1: ass beat and then Trunks was like, I'll handle it, father,
Speaker 1: and he he couldn't get to Super Saiyan level two.
Speaker 1: He could only get to Super Saiyan one and a half.
Speaker 1: And he was like really big and bulky, and I
Speaker 1: was like, what is this and he and he specifically said,
Speaker 1: my mobility is limited and I was like, yeah, because
Speaker 1: you like went and just did Royd's bro you you're
Speaker 1: not stronger, You're just you're just bigger, like the Hyperball
Speaker 1: time chamber did nothing for you. That was funny though,
Speaker 1: but but but you know what, but they still did
Speaker 1: nod down to like the more leaner type of body types.
Speaker 1: Because even Cell when he finally transformed to perfect cell.
Speaker 1: He went from level one to two, which was really hulky,
Speaker 1: to level three, which was the the obnoxiously you know
Speaker 1: uh uh Maurice Lamar's like, yes, yes, like you know
Speaker 1: that that thing and I and I respected that. But no,
Speaker 1: every time a character you think is gonna be whacked
Speaker 1: and strong, that's always dope. Always an anime, no matter
Speaker 1: what it is. Every time mm hmmm. I mean that's
Speaker 1: the main thing of Really Mob Psycho and One Style
Speaker 1: too with One punch Man there the main character. They're
Speaker 1: always so basic and then they get hyped up and
Speaker 1: then they get hyper stylized. Oh give me that he
Speaker 1: can he can do that bit for the rest of
Speaker 1: his career and I'm eating it all up. Yeah. One
Speaker 1: punch Man els that so well because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, Jeno's is supposed to be so dope,
Speaker 1: but he is dog garbage. He's trash like he's he's
Speaker 1: he's so cool. He tries so hard, he gets all
Speaker 1: these modifications, but at the end of the day, he's
Speaker 1: just not that dude. He's the vegeta of He's the
Speaker 1: crill in of that show. Almost like he's he's the vegeta,
Speaker 1: but he's he's always wondering how to get stronger, and
Speaker 1: he'll never reach Saitama and Sitamas just like, hey man,
Speaker 1: someone's in my way and there's there's a there's a
Speaker 1: sale going on at the grocer market, like I don't
Speaker 1: want to do it, but I gotta because I need
Speaker 1: to get to this sale. Like I love that. Uh So,
Speaker 1: on April Fools in two thousand and twelve, Adults Swim
Speaker 1: switched it up and normally they would air like the Room,
Speaker 1: but instead they made the two Nami block their April
Speaker 1: Fools joke, you know, you know, hurting our hearts like
Speaker 1: that there at the scheduled episode of Bleach and then
Speaker 1: they went through with DBZ Gundam, Wing Tinchi Muyo like
Speaker 1: all the classics. But then, uh then after that, Adult
Speaker 1: Swim posted a message to the Twitter page saying want
Speaker 1: it back, let us know, hashtag bring back to Nami
Speaker 1: and so this so it was just a perfect move,
Speaker 1: Like I think they knew they were bringing back to Unami,
Speaker 1: but they were like, They're like, let's get the hype
Speaker 1: there so people can be hyped about it. So it
Speaker 1: just exploded until the next year. In April two thirteen,
Speaker 1: where they premiered The New Look um and uh the
Speaker 1: and the Return of Sarah, and it just kind of
Speaker 1: kind of been that that's when it kind of came back.
Speaker 1: There's not much to say. I think the only thing
Speaker 1: we can really talk about is how cool they premiered
Speaker 1: The Space Dandy on January four, even before they premiered
Speaker 1: it in Japan, which which is kind of like flipping
Speaker 1: the whole spirit of Tsunami, which was like kind of
Speaker 1: like the big export. Now they're like, now we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna pop it off here too. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: it's a little it difficult for them now as far
Speaker 1: as like the future, it's it's almost like, okay, So
Speaker 1: they start a lot of series, let's say Super or
Speaker 1: My heir Academia when it's already on like season three,
Speaker 1: you know, in Japan or on crunchy Roll or even
Speaker 1: Funimation their app and so it's just like some of
Speaker 1: them they've been trying to release as quickly as possible
Speaker 1: as they can. With Japan, I know that this is
Speaker 1: heavily wrapped up in contracts, So it's not like they
Speaker 1: don't want to air it immediately, you know. For people
Speaker 1: that are like they should do this. I know that
Speaker 1: if they could, they would, but I think in order
Speaker 1: for them to survive, they're gonna need original anime right
Speaker 1: that you can't get anywhere else. I think that that.
Speaker 1: I think another thing is if they're open to doing subs,
Speaker 1: Because subs like dubs. It takes a while to get
Speaker 1: the dub out, and I feel like if they were
Speaker 1: open to subs that aren't necessarily huge on Crunchy Role
Speaker 1: or huge on funimation, um, that might bring in an
Speaker 1: audience that's like trying to find that anime, even old anime.
Speaker 1: I feel like they could also capitalize on that by
Speaker 1: bringing back like, hey, you know, I know you grew
Speaker 1: up with Sailor Moon and DBZ, but here's some stuff
Speaker 1: you might have missed back when you're in elementary school
Speaker 1: that was coming out that no one remembers anymore. So
Speaker 1: it's hard. I mean, in my opinion too, I don't
Speaker 1: really want I was kind of watching it for Super
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I don't really watch Tunami anymore. So.
Speaker 1: As much as everyone's like, yes, bring it back, we
Speaker 1: adore it, it's like, how much of us are actually
Speaker 1: sitting down and watching it. Well, that's That's the one
Speaker 1: thing I was talking about because I was wondering the
Speaker 1: same thing, like I was wondering, how can a show
Speaker 1: like to Nami exists now? And it finally hit me
Speaker 1: when I kind of saw what they're airing now. The
Speaker 1: show's Tunami doesn't live for people like us, I'll call
Speaker 1: old head Weaves, because we got you know, we got
Speaker 1: our connection. We we we have we have we have
Speaker 1: no problem getting crunchy role and aunomation. It lives for
Speaker 1: those high school kids because when I saw what they're running,
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, all the popping animes that have
Speaker 1: all these kids yapping in the replies all the time,
Speaker 1: or what's on your doctor stone my hero all so
Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, like fire Force, you know, like those
Speaker 1: and they and they are like they're so you know, wild,
Speaker 1: like it was. It was so funny because uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I know, um Zeno Robinson who voices Hawks and now
Speaker 1: voices Ogan and fire Force, and like we did this
Speaker 1: thing where we switched each other's profiles and with mine
Speaker 1: to switch and I put my face over it and
Speaker 1: it was and his was just like a black version
Speaker 1: of Hawks. It was a Hawks image painted black and
Speaker 1: uh and like I and I had it and I
Speaker 1: forgot about it and I just left it up there
Speaker 1: because it was still a picture of me even after
Speaker 1: we were done with a bit and I got like
Speaker 1: some some some d M that was like, hey, um,
Speaker 1: can you remove your your your profile picture because that
Speaker 1: is my edit that I made for Zeno and for
Speaker 1: for his purposes only. And I was like what, And
Speaker 1: I was like and I looked at the profile and
Speaker 1: it was like a seventeen year old kid, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I'm not even gonna like go into
Speaker 1: you know, copyright law with his kids or why him
Speaker 1: just changing a character black does not make it his.
Speaker 1: And I'm just doing one because it's nice and too
Speaker 1: because it's a seventeen year old They're not gonna so
Speaker 1: I changed. It was so funny because I was like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you know, like like as as much you know,
Speaker 1: hate Dubbs, get like the people who are like standing
Speaker 1: them and those voice actors are the people who were
Speaker 1: us when we were little, and we only and that's
Speaker 1: that like we we we were not you know, get
Speaker 1: going online. We're just watching it on TV. And so
Speaker 1: so it just made me go like, oh, yeah, Tsunami
Speaker 1: can still exist because it's for the new generation, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's and that is what makes me happy that
Speaker 1: it's still around the generation that uh, the generation yells
Speaker 1: at you for reposting their content that they ripped off
Speaker 1: from somewhere. Hey man, hey man, that's my tweet. That's
Speaker 1: my that's my tweet of that TV show that I
Speaker 1: like that. I don't, oh, but that's my tweet. Man,
Speaker 1: give it back, like like like I almost want to
Speaker 1: be like, yo, parody law how me? Like I put
Speaker 1: my face on it, so it's not it's not it's
Speaker 1: I put a watermark. What you're gonna do? Just transformational? Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: last thing I need is to be dragged by some
Speaker 1: seventy year old and another Uh this person steals art.
