Speaker 1 1:30

We apologize, guys. We had some, I don't.

Speaker 3 1:31

I had some personal stuff going on.

Speaker 1 1:38

Yes, we have had some personal fat matters going on. What is it, cons, that we visited? We?

Speaker 3 1:42

went out of town Cons. We got to meet a lot of people at the last couple cons of the year we did.

Speaker 1 1:47

And we'll be putting that video out. We should have already done that, but hey, like I said, life happens.

Speaker 3 1:52

Life happens.

Speaker 1 1:52

Thank you, guys for understanding and bearing with us.

Speaker 3 1:55

It's going to be a wrap. This is basically our.

Speaker 1 2:00

After this, we're taking again another brief hiatus.

Speaker 3 2:02

But it's going to be cool because during our hiatus we'll be releasing content from our Anime Dallas sessions. So we'll give you a little sex Two or three weeks. We'll be releasing content every couple of days. We got a little nice little tidbits. We got so many sessions, we're just going to put it all out there on the wild.

Speaker 1 2:17

Some great combos.

Speaker 3 2:18

So if you sat down with us at Anime Dallas 2024, thank you. Look for the sessions over the next three weeks. Every few days we'll do drop-in sessions For sure.

Speaker 1 2:26

Anyway, so that was our con stretch man. It was awesome. We had some great times Dallas twice.

Speaker 3 2:30

Don't want to start there, woo, I mean, we went to so many cons this year.

Speaker 2 2:34

That's right, y'all.

Speaker 1 2:38

Just start with Dallas man, how did that go? Put on an amazing con.

Speaker 3 2:41

Anime Dallas.

Speaker 1 2:42

Shout out Anime Dallas. It's a smaller con, but it has its charm, oh man, Like I said, for a lot of people it was really cool to know that that was some of y'all's first con coming out there.

Speaker 2 2:51

That's nice.

Speaker 1 2:52

So it was really great to meet some of you guys. I'm happy that that was your first icebreaker for a con. Again, I think order to do it. So that's why it's like, if anybody's interested into getting into cons, this is like what they do as like their test run kind of thing, to see if they like it, versus going somewhere for a weekend and paying 150 to get in, kind of thing. You know, yeah, for the weekend, kind of thing and not even knowing what you're going to get into.

Speaker 3 3:14

I was gonna bring out the batch to show it off, but uh, it's deep in the yonders. You know what I'm saying as you can tell back there, I got a whole rack of badges from conventions it's not a prop all mothers they all nut up into like one big lanyard, uh, maze.

Speaker 3 3:30

So I'm just gonna leave it back there, but uh, I mean there's a few more from this year. You know, it was funny, we went to dallas, back to back to back, because after anime dallas which was a lot of fun, one more time and we were releasing all those videos and separate episodes we we went back for Anime Frontier.

Speaker 1 3:47

Anime Frontier. That's right. We should have done that that was a wild card, that one.

Speaker 2 3:50

You guys did voice acting right.

Speaker 1 3:51

Yeah, that was actually a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 3:53

My boy over here did the voice acting audition.

Speaker 1 3:55

You did too, bro, don't shy away from it. I was in front of the stage and my accent just doubled down.

Speaker 3 4:03

My accent like tripled down.

Speaker 1 4:04

He said pizza, pizza. He said pizza. Yeah, no, I'm joking, but it was great.

Speaker 3 4:11

How do you pronounce the word D-E-I?

Speaker 2 4:14

D-E-I-T-Y yeah, d-e-i-t-y, deity.

Speaker 3 4:19

Yeah, like a gauntlet Deity, Deity, deity. Yeah, like a gauntlet Diddy, diddy, diddy. I don't know Diddy Diddy.

Speaker 2 4:28

I busted out Dante Deity. I like Deity Dante Diddy. I think it's Deity Deity. Deity sounds better Do.

Speaker 1 4:34

I Deity, deity. I know you didn't say Diddy, but it sounded like you said Diddy, god's have no honor, I don't care if you're a Didi, a Didi, wait, man. See, that's why we shouldn't have put that. You gotta move yourself around, bro, it's you. You gotta keep your hands to yourself, bro.

Speaker 2 4:53

It's something like your mom the ghost of Didi got into his hands.

Speaker 3 4:56

The ghost of Didi yeah, man, I got up there and I was like God's have no honor and you're no Diddy. And I was like no, diddy. No, diddy, I don't think that's what I meant to say, but, diddy, I think it fit the script because at the very end was like and I think that would be my reaction. That would be my reaction if I had to face Diddy in a party.

Speaker 1 5:17

It was great man, but you know what?

Speaker 3 5:28

We were really proud of ourselves just to go up there, man it was, it was a, we were stacked.

Speaker 1 5:29

It was a prune room like 50 people maybe more, it was like 200. It was 300 people that showed up for those auditions. 300 people that showed up. They were only able to to audition about 100 people more or less and, uh, just so much. A lot of people that were out there. The con was great though. Overall good shopping. That was a really cool experience, um, but in my opinion, enemy dallas had some of the better vendors, bro, but I don't, don't know.

Speaker 3 5:41

I remember Dallas had a little cool vendor Shout out to Sweet Toot, Sweet Toot. He had this really cool Berserk.

Speaker 1 5:49

It's a Berserk girl oh nice, yeah Nice, If you guys can see it I don't know if you can zoom in on your iPods- we could give it. There we go. We're going to give our quick shout out to our here you go ah, thank you, good sir. So what's dope about this man is that it's actually like a berserk Yu-Gi-Oh combination. You can see the blue eyes, the dark magician girl with the berserk sword right. It's pretty swag, but the paper that he has on it's like hand pressed paper oh this is yours, yeah check it out, bro George, with a Kimio book.

Speaker 2 6:22

oh, I don't want to mess that up Anyway it's really hard.

Speaker 1 6:24

It doesn't do it justice, it doesn't do all of it, but it's on like parchment paper.

Speaker 3 6:28

Yeah, I don't know what else to call it. It's a paper mache.

Speaker 1 6:35

It's amazing artwork man. It really really is. We got a chance to meet him.

Speaker 3 6:39

Shout out to our boy I put this one back there with my other hyper realistic dark radiation. That is good.

Speaker 1 6:49

Which was great. I, as a matter of fact, got this from my boy out there. I'll show you guys what it is. Hang on, give me one second.

Speaker 2 6:56

Bad Bros. 2. Bad Bros for life.

Speaker 1 7:00

Thank you, sir.

Speaker 3 7:02

I guess it's kind of hard to see, but it's like Bad Boys 2.

Speaker 2 7:05

Bad Bros for life.

Speaker 3 7:06

Yeah, there you go, you can kind of see it. It looks really cool. Again, it doesn't do it justice. It doesn't do it justice guys.

Speaker 1 7:12

You got to go and see it. But non-toxic nerd culture, it's fire stuff, man. These guys had amazing stuff out there.

Speaker 3 7:19

So they were great people. Yeah, we didn't really get to talk about Anime Dallas because the last one has been life, but Anime Dallas was so much fun. Yeah, dude, it was a lot of fun we got to see the Blaze that we collaborated this year. That's one of our Favorite content creators. That we have collaborated Multiple times Throughout the year.

Speaker 2 7:34

Yes, we collaborated highly this year, this year earlier, in the other con.

Speaker 1 7:39

Comic.

Speaker 2 7:39

Comic-clusive.

Speaker 3 7:40

Anime Manchuria, anime Manchuria. Yeah, we had a panel, anime Manchuria, where they released More footage from that is correct. They got even more Voice actors. We kind of got exclusive.

Speaker 1 7:49

But oh yeah, we're not gonna say anything, I'm not gonna drop it, but know that they got they added some more voice actors to iridescent manga ball, nice follow them on their social blaze manga productions or iridescent manga, that's correct guys, but uh, so what else we have? We had comic palooza this year and in my surrey this year it was so much fun.

Speaker 3 8:08

I mean, I got to see back to the future actors. Man, we were like what? Four rows down.

Speaker 1 8:13

Yeah from Marty McFly and Doc Brown. Yeah, I bumped into Michael J Fox in the bathroom.

Speaker 3 8:17

Oh, you did. That was amazing. That was in the episode. That was in the episode. Bumped into Michael J Fox on the urinal.

Speaker 1 8:23

It was so great, I touched elbows. You mentioned episode of.

Speaker 2 8:25

Scrubs Victory toilet.

Speaker 1 8:27

Yeah, that's crazy. It was so cool though.

Speaker 2 8:31

It was a random encounter.

Speaker 3 8:33

It was like a media game, random encounter, yeah it's just like I was the NPC.

Speaker 1 8:36

He was the main character bro, he was the yeah bro, Lord forgive me. I don't know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 8:40

I'm sorry, Michael J Fox you're a legend, that is a one-way trip.

Speaker 1 8:54

It automatically. That's crazy anyway. So uh, yeah, man, comic palooza was amazing, tokyo x tokyo x.

Speaker 3 8:56

That's right, man. We got to admit some of the uh japanese voice actors of one piece that's right that's right nami swan nami swan, nami did we, yeah, we did, yeah. Yeah, nami swan was out there and uh, some really cool cosplayers that I got to talk to. That's right, man. And, and what else? Kimi Kawai, kimi Kawai, damn, what else? Tokyo X I didn't even know. Tsuri Comic Palooza. What were some of the smaller?

Speaker 1 9:20

we went to a couple of smaller ones, a couple of smaller ones, but I can't tell you. Anime Houston obviously happened. Anime Houston, anime Houston. I went to yeah, oh, that was Kimi Kawaii, no 1. That was our other audition that we did, yep.

Speaker 3 9:31

And, of course, a lot of the other creators we collaborated with. Collaborated with Fushion Ha a couple times.

Speaker 2 9:36

That's right, y'all.

Speaker 1 9:37

Shout out to Fushion Ha. Shout out to Fushion Ha. All of our boys, that's right y'all. But yeah, man, so those were our cons, obviously this year, but we had some great episodes.

Speaker 2 9:48

Some of them were for sure. Most recent, I can recap, was the Penguin. We did two specials on that. One One was like the intro episode. The other one was like concluding it. We had a hiatus on purpose because we wanted to finish the show. Yeah, because it's so good. We generally don't do that, but it's one of the greatest shows this year that it was so good that we dedicated like.

Best TV Series of the Year

Speaker 3 10:10

All right, we'll be back after we finish the series For our WBA wrap. I think the penguin was the best TV series of the year.

Speaker 1 10:15

Facts yeah, man, yeah 100%.

Speaker 3 10:17

I mean there's a couple of series that give it a run for it's money. But if I had to like pick the title for the year, penguin did the last of us come out this year? No, the last of us came out last year. Yeah, penguin, bro, that's it. Yeah, fallout, fallout, fallout. Actually won't, because arcane is not an annotation of league of legends well fallout is literally in the video game world is in universe lore, so that's why uh, that's my argument for fallout.

Speaker 1 10:40

I would agree with that yes, like as far as the video game aspect of it, I felt like I was the player in uh fallout, you know what I'm saying versus the penguin. I was watching the birth of a new character kind of thing. Yeah, so it was different, different of acting. But as far as, like best show Penguin, bro Hands down man I'm sorry, I'm not even trying to ride the hype train on it Like Colin Farrell, the next level acting that we saw that in the TV series.

Speaker 2 11:02

Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 3 11:04

Early in the year I did a bunch of anime corner episodes where I recommended a bunch of random anime.

Speaker 1 11:08

That's right, you sure did man.

Speaker 3 11:09

I'd probably bring that segment back, but I know one that we love talking about was Akiba. Maid Wars, bro. I keep on seeing those memes. I still recommend Akiba.

Speaker 2 11:18

Maid Wars. I gotta watch that one, yeah, if you like the penguin.

Speaker 3 11:21

It's like the Sopranos, but in Tokyo.

Speaker 2 11:24

And maid bitches. I love it.

Speaker 3 11:27

I don't know how many times I could sell it, but it's just that, guest I give up.

Speaker 2 11:30

I gotta watch it, did you see?

Speaker 1 11:31

that League meme where it's like Jinx versus Seraphine.

Speaker 3 11:35

I don't even want to give spoilers, because that scene is from the very last episode.

Speaker 1 11:38

I bet you it's super awesome that scene is a huge spoiler. I love it, though when I see it every time I'm like this has got to be the fucking anime he's talking about, bro, every one where she's eating and she pukes right, and everybody's like. I want some of that.

Speaker 3 11:52

She's got the face all beat up and she starts crying. It's like this is you in League.

Speaker 2 11:58

She's just all beat up Because yeah, man, speaking of League, we did a lot this year, man. We played a lot of games in League of Legends.

Speaker 1 12:04

Did we even have a League episode when we talked to you? We're talking about it right now.

Speaker 3 12:14

Legends never die. Heavy is the crown, heavy is the crown. Didn't we do a full episode Talking about Linkin Park, or half an episode?

Speaker 2 12:18

I think it was like the world's events. It was worlds this year.

Speaker 3 12:21

We talked about concerts, but we revisited our music.

Speaker 1 12:24

That's right, yeah.

Speaker 3 12:25

Because we're a very musical show and we talked about legacy.

Speaker 1 12:27

It's not even about the concerts anymore, bro, it's the legacy of the band. That's right, we're gonna have it yeah.

Speaker 3 12:32

Oh cause anymore, bro.

Speaker 2 12:33

It's the legacy of the band, that's right. Oh, because we saw, because I saw the Wailers. That's where we had an episode about that the Wailers, wailers, wailers.

Speaker 1 12:39

Wailers, oh no, and Journey. Remember Wailers, the poor Journey cover. That was the other one.

Speaker 2 12:46

Yeah, so we had a.

Speaker 1 12:54

I think about, but it's been a long time in the concert. But I think, bro, we went to T-Pain this year.

Speaker 2 12:55

What are you?

Speaker 1 12:55

talking about.

Speaker 2 13:00

Bro, that was one of the greatest concerts of my life, bro.

Speaker 1 13:06

You know early in the year Sorry bro, I was like, I was so damn in my head.

Speaker 3 13:10

I'm about to switch gears so hard.

Speaker 1 13:12

I don't think I've done the hardest segway I was like I'm so damn sure of my head.

Speaker 3 13:13

I'm about to switch gears so hard I don't think I've done the hardest segue. Earlier in the year we talked about men's mental health.

Speaker 1 13:16

We had like three episodes back to back where we were like what the fuck is that we did do?

Speaker 3 13:19

that.

Speaker 2 13:20

Yeah, you remember we had mental compliments about men and compliments. Oh, that's right, that's true.

Speaker 3 13:35

And then in the same episode, when we talk about facing the lion but not always feeling like Daniel. That was a good episode, I think one of these guys dropped that little nugget. I think it was him. Go back and watch that episode. Was that this year? That was this year Another one that we talked about men's mental health and a lot of other things. It was me thinking about your laundry days. For a whole month, we dropped nothing but men's mental health episodes.

Speaker 1 13:57

Shout out puppy pads, bro. Oh yeah, Puppy pads. Yeah, the puppy pads.

Speaker 2 14:00

I tell you what man. That was a good year. I think that's part of the Chinese order puppy pads.

Year in Review

Speaker 1 14:05

Facts that is the year of the puppy. This, oh yeah same episode.

Speaker 3 14:10

I spoke about Madam Web and how it's like not that bad of a movie Super mediocre, that's right.

Speaker 1 14:14

Not that bad of a movie Wildly mediocre.

Speaker 3 14:16

More than both Morbius and Craving the Hunter.

Speaker 1 14:19

Like I said, wildly mediocre. Like it's not a high Walter scale but, like I said, but yeah, man, madam Web, the whole Fox universe is dead now with Sony shit.

Speaker 2 14:28

Madam Web falls into that category of movies where, like, just tell me the whole plot and take as long as you want, because that still beats me reading over it like wicked, like I'm not talking shit about it. Well, maybe I am, I don't know. But it's like, hey, just tell me what happened and you know, I want to move on my life, kind of like madame webb and craven, wasn't it? Draven the hunter and more. Just tell me the plot, you know, hey, it's gonna take an hour, perfect you know, save ticket.

Speaker 3 14:52

I agree, there were a lot of good movies that dropped this year.

Speaker 1 14:54

The fact that Madam Web opened with a 12, craven opened with an 8, and Rotten Tomatoes is wild. But, like I said, I'm happy that Sony's going to kill that shit.

Speaker 3 15:02

Let's talk about the peak movies, dune I think we had a whole episode on. Dune. It came out this year, Shit let me hear the song, bro.

Speaker 2 15:12

It came out this year.

Speaker 1 15:12

Is that this year? No, bro, you fucking liar. Don't lie to me.

Speaker 2 15:16

Bros at Time Paradox, if you hit a Christmas special.

Speaker 1 15:19

Right after those raps we're talking about all of that other shit. Yeah, my bad.

Speaker 3 15:24

Damn. I knew it, my bad.

Speaker 2 15:25

My bad.

Speaker 3 15:27

It was so fresh in my mind. I feel like it just happened.

Speaker 2 15:29

I wear no black Like the dudes out there In their show. No, but Back to what matters T-Pain man.

Speaker 3 15:37

T-pain was an amazing concert that happened this year, for sure.

Speaker 2 15:40

But it was awesome, bro. That concert was awesome. He sang all his favorite hits. We had a good spot. It's a good little venue. I mean, honestly, it was a vibe. It was like a club and the people around us Were hot and the people around us were hot you know those. I miss that girl, black girl, whatever her name is. I miss you. I love you. Oh yeah, that's right, but it was fun, man, I really enjoyed the concert bro bro, we survived the fucking hurricane this year.

Speaker 1 16:01

We went through barrel. Y'all remember that shit. You were locked out of vegas for, like, I was in vegas. Yeah, that was a horrible experience.

Speaker 2 16:08

Does the Joker use PTO? Who's he checking out on bro the Joker, like from DC? Who's clocking him in? What was his episode?

Speaker 1 24:42

about.

Speaker 2 24:42

Who's he clowning out? Though? I know that wasn't the question. It was like why you got to put PTO For something you can do anytime you want. Bro, that's free will.

Speaker 3 24:52

For something you can do anytime you want. Bro, that's free will. That's so weird Like we go back and it's like why?

Speaker 1 24:57

Podcast Recap and Future Plans

Speaker 3 25:30

That's the question, that is the PTO.

Speaker 2 25:32

I think it was a short episode because we were like, yeah, next question. No, because it was the better.

Speaker 3 25:37

Okay, if you call in, it's not PTO, it's doc time.

Speaker 2 25:41

Well, that's right, that's what I'm saying. Oh, that was the argument. Okay, okay, technically, you're not getting paid time off for it. It wasn't?

Speaker 3 25:53

the argument that we're taking the day off and get pussy, you know. It went into a whole conversation. Hr. It went into HR and it's consequences.

Speaker 2 26:01

I would If it's really good pussy, I'm ready to lose money for it, right, but then look, I use a holiday, you know.

Speaker 3 26:08

I definitely use Eight hours PTO too.

Speaker 2 26:09

Yeah, bro, eight hours.

Speaker 3 26:10

Speaker 1 27:01

Would you be okay with dying like that, bro?

Speaker 3 27:04

Again, we all agreed Of course we'll take PTO, of course I'll take that death. Take a PTO for that death, that is wild. What a way to combine topics bro, and somehow we're bringing it back to men's mental health.

Speaker 1 27:19

And look, I do that for my mental health as I go into the graveyard. It was worth it, Bro.

Speaker 3 27:24

at the same time, you're thinking about her laundry days.

Speaker 2 27:28

Laundry days.

Speaker 3 27:29

Laundry days. Pto dead by head.

Speaker 1 27:32

Bro, I was thinking about your laundry days. If you guys haven't heard that episode, go back and listen to it. It's a good one, ladies, it's for you.

Speaker 3 27:40

Oh, stop anyway what else we got. How far can a compliment go? That was a really serious episode.

Speaker 2 27:45

Sorry, I brought the energy down here, you gotta bring it back down but it was a really serious episode on compliments for men yes, but then we talked about OnlyFans, which was men, but you doing OnlyFans, remember that was the question.

Speaker 1 27:56

It was like I'd sell my feet bro.

Speaker 2 27:58

We interviewed director, anime director for Zenta and Filmworks, shannon Reed. Yes, in 2023, we re-released a nasty version in 2024. That's correct. We also interviewed musician Big Sodia from Houston. Yeah, big Sodia, that's right we collaborated with him on Comicpalooza, so we dropped that interview this year as well.

Speaker 1 28:26

Man, we got some good stuff out, guys. We did have a good stuff. That was all this year.

Speaker 2 28:29

Speaker 1 28:40

Speaker 2 28:43

More Blue Log shit for sure, more dude shit, so I can forget about it.

Speaker 3 28:47

I'm finally going to have a couple of Gundam episodes because I've been building some nice new Gundams. That's correct.

Speaker 2 28:52

More book shit that I forget about.

Speaker 1 28:55

We're having a solo leveling episode. I mean we're caught up. I'm caught up, you're right, solo leveling is coming up. The Mongo, we can spoil the fuck out of that.

Speaker 3 29:02

They dropped the previews for the Attack on Titan movie coming up. That's right, they dropped the previews for the Demon Slayer movie coming up is going to bring that they're going to adapt the prequel series Vigilantes.

Speaker 1 29:13

My Hero Vigilante. That's right, that's going to be so good. Is that a movie?

Speaker 3 29:17

It's going to be a series. It's going to be a series. It's a spin-off manga from my Hero Academia.

Speaker 1 29:24

It's called Vigilantes and it's about.

Speaker 3 29:27

It takes place in the same universe and no way. Oh really, the bunny girl before she became a hero. So her as a vigilante.

Speaker 2 29:35

So we're going to get a lot of the younger heroes.

Speaker 3 29:38

It's going to be cool.

Speaker 2 29:40

Cool man.

Speaker 3 29:40

I think one of the worst things that the creator didn't do is that the protagonist from Vigilantes should have had a couple of scenes in the main series Like cameos or something. Yeah, but he was in one panel towards the end. But, yeah, towards the end, he's in the background somewhere bro Trust. But Vigilante is a little more mature than my hero. Yeah, that's what I heard. It's a little bit Speak.

Speaker 1 30:00

Yeah, it's supposed to be good man. I know there's a good big following behind Vigilante.

Speaker 3 30:04
