Speaker 2:everybody's in the toilet right now scrolling Big shout out.
Speaker 3:Thank you for joining. Thank you for the roses.
Speaker 2:That's right, y'all All right let's get right into it.
Speaker 3:My first topic. This week I had a chance to go to the IMAX early screening of the new Gundam movie Gundam G-Quacks the beginning, what's it called? Gundam G-Quacks, G-Quacks.
Speaker 1:That's dope.
Speaker 3:For the longest time it was like how the hell do you pronounce it? Because you see in the promotional material, GQ, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you X. It's like seven U's.
Speaker 1:I did see that. I thought it was just a gimmick, is that?
Speaker 3:the real title. That's the title of the series.
Speaker 1:It's the next series.
Speaker 3:It's the next Gundam series, so it was. It wasn't a full movie, so don't go into it thinking it's a full movie. It's still in theaters right now, but how do you pronounce this? Gundam G-Quacks?
Speaker 2:I'm guessing they'll review what it means. So many U's Like U-Nate I'm just thinking U-Nate, U-Nate, U-Nate, U-Nate, Gundam.
Speaker 3:I'm guessing it's going to be something smart.
Speaker 1:It sounds goofy, but I of the characters like, uh, of course they, they take the gundam, they kind of steal the gundam.
Speaker 3:They're still digi quacks and they're like breaking into it and they're like, looks like the name of it is uh jquacks and then I think he was like but I don't think it's the real name of it. I think it's a code name, so later on we might find out what the real name is, what it means universal unit.
Speaker 2:You view, whatever the universal.
Speaker 3:If you follow Gundam, you know that there's I don't know a crazy number of series and crazy number of timelines. So this one in particular is set in the alternate Universal Century timeline. Universal Century is the main Gundam timeline. It's where the original Gundam series was in. Universal Century is where Gundam Unicorn is set and some of the other popular ones, okay. In universal centuries, where gundam unicorn is said and some of the other popular ones, okay, uh, but in this timeline the first half of the movie. Matter of fact was what is a what if timeline? Basically, what if, instead of our hero amir ray getting the rx78, char breaks in and he's the one that steals the gundam?
Speaker 1:oh shit, which alters the timeline completely which alters the timeline completely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so what if that moment when he breaks into side seven or side whatever side, he gets to the condom first instead of our hero? So he gets the condom, and of course he's a new type, and so he instinctively knows how to pilot the condom, just like our hero, yeah normal sounds about right anime so that's what the, that's what, that's the what if? Timeline. So that setups the timeline. Then we go through like 30 minutes of like the same events from the original Gundam. But what if?
Speaker 2:Original. Which original You're talking about? The ones from the?
Speaker 3:70s, yeah, the very first, wow that's so cool bro. As a matter of fact, side by side, like one of the famous scenes, is when the Gundam stands up for the first time. Yes, but this time it's Char, not the villain, because he's not a villain. But the villain piloting the RX-782, piloting the Gundam, instead of our hero, that's what the series sets up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, that's cool. I can see them redoing the original one with updated technology. It's been like 50 years, you know. If they always redo Saint Seiya, I can the og uh gundam eventually so it's the what if?
Speaker 3:timeline. And then of course we go through a little bit and, uh, cool things. You see a lot of the characters from the original, but you know, this time with history going a little different. And then char paints the the gundam red because you know that's his color but, instead of the red saku is the red gundam.
Speaker 3:The Gundam is now all red. And then something happens. And then we fast forward five years into the future and we catch up with our main characters from the new series, which are two young girls in high school On a rooftop.
Speaker 2:On a sunset In front of the beach.
Speaker 3:On a rooftop. Yes, go, they're in a space colony, so there's no beach, but in front of a pool there's no beach but in front of a pool. Okay, I mean a body of water. Yeah, it was just me. He didn't go with me, but it's a hundred percent accurate on the rooftop in front of the pool inside the space car.
Speaker 2:God, I can see that man. The sun's beautiful.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely so that's what happened. And then, of course, a lot, of, a lot of stuff happens and it sets up the series and then it just kind of cuts off. But again, it's because I think it's maybe the first two, maybe nah, I think it's probably the first two, maybe three episodes of the series. So it stops at a weird point. But I'm like, well, no, it doesn't stop at a weird point, it just stops at the end of the Nah, we just gotta wait for next week. Oh so, really good, really good, really good really good, okay.
Speaker 2:So how many episodes? Like two or three episodes with 4D, just to the pre-log.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I think it's like one extended episode in the beginning where it does the what. If so, it sets up the series, and then maybe two episodes of the actual series where we like catch up with the high school girls.
Speaker 1:Female pilots male pilots.
Speaker 3:Female pilots male pilots, female pilots oh well, so the red gundam returns. The red gundam disappears, well, along with charles and you find out like what's going on time. So the red gundam returns and the guy pilots the red gundam. Okay, so we got the guy piloting the red gundam. Then everybody's like how come the red gun maybe time travel, but how come?
Speaker 3:the red gundam is back anime we're starting to find out how come the red gundam is back. And then we got this brand new gundam g quacks that the girls steal, and she's a new type, turns out the main character is a new type because of course she is and she could instantly uh, drive the gundam without you know proper military dude.
Speaker 1:That'd be sick as fuck to have, like the old g gundam, like different pilot, brought into modern day with versus new dude that's.
Speaker 3:That's a dope ass a good series and again it's kind of a love letter to Universal Century fans. So all the fans of the granddaddy Gundams and all that stuff.
Speaker 2:Damn, I like that.
Speaker 3:It's so pretty, it's directed by the director from Evangelion. So you can tell in the Gundam designs.
Speaker 2:What you should have told me that.
Speaker 3:What? The original Gundam is the same, but it's a different design.
Speaker 2:It's adapted. It has Evangelion influence. That's fucking dope. The director, you should have led with that, I should have led with that, the yeah, the director of.
Speaker 3:Evangelion. There's a collaboration with the director of Evangelion.
Speaker 1:That is fucking epic. I'm not going to lie, I want to come out depressed as fuck.
Speaker 2:You look like sleek badass.
Speaker 1:I bet it, you look like sleek badass. Hey, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 2:This is going to sound weird, but let me ask you this Did you feel kind?
Speaker 3:of sad when you left the theaters. Well, it's a very retrospect.
Speaker 2:I knew it. See, that's how you know he's good bro. Every movie he leaves you with a little oh you know Everything he's ever touched, bro. But he's a genius, he's a genius.
Speaker 3:The music goes hard. It's a new track yeah, I'm sorry, yow Savvy.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 3:Yow Savvy, something like that. The music goes hard.
Speaker 2:Really quick before my time is up, I went to another event the Union Arena event the release of the oh shit, the release.
Speaker 3:If you could hand me some of that stuff.
Speaker 2:We'll bleep that out later folks.
Speaker 3:The release of the One Punch man set Union Arena. The One Punch man set Uni Arena. The One Punch man set. I got a box here and I got a bunch of cards here I won. So I got some winner cards. Oh shit, you won some stuff, I won some stuff. Then there's a bunch of cards here. Here's some action points. Where is my winner? Here we go. Here we go. Here's my winner card From One Punch. One Punch, one Punch. This is Terrible Tornado. You can put it up to the camera.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's actually really cool that you can see it like that. How close can I get before it gets blurred out?
Speaker 3:So I've been getting into Union Arena lately. As you guys know, we were all Yu-Gi-Oh players back in the day, but I've been getting into Union Arena and it's really cool.
Speaker 2:It's a really cool that word. They're telling you what you can't do and my highlight of the night.
Speaker 3:I mean, mind you, I went. I went to this event by myself, so I didn't really know people at this card game, but I pulled some fuego. I pull a two-star genos, jeez bro look at that 300 card. Yeah, oh, wow, for real. If you switch it a little bit there, it has the uh signature of the voice actor, the japanese oh, went out twice.
Speaker 2:600 car. No, bro, that's crazy the card is designed.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you can't see the signature right there on the glare. Oh shit, bro, that's sick. What a dope ass. All right, you showed over there, bro, you got um, yeah, I mean, damn, that looks dope I cannot believe you pulled a 300 on a card. That's like some yuki like go swear.

Speaker 1:Bad, I pulled this fuego At the event. Kudos, sir Golf, clap for you. Yeah, anyway, sorry, that was really dope, I was like I'm still king. I'm like this this motherfucker pulled what, right now, I did. I did pull it.
Speaker 3:I'm not even a big One Punch man fan. I pulled it and they're like you got the channels, bro.
Speaker 1:Are you?
Speaker 3:trolling me right now. I'm like what does that even mean?
Speaker 1:I don't get that reference.
Speaker 3:Is that something that young kids say?
Speaker 1:nowadays. Are you fucking with me? That's basically what he's saying. That's another generation. Are you fucking with me?
Speaker 3:that's basically what he's saying. He kept saying you trolling me right now are you trolling me right now. I'm like I don't. I mean, I'm not behind you. I felt old anyways. Uh, the cool thing about this is, you know, uni Arena Is really easy to get into, but then, of course, there's a lot of strategy Put in behind it and you're playing. You know, somebody Face to face with somebody, is it? It's also Bandai. It's also Bandai.
Speaker 1:That's pretty badass dude. So you know what else is also Bandai. Yes Bandai, go for it. That was a great song. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun, dun, dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun, dun.
Speaker 2:No, the reason we bring you to the Blue Lock is because one of our friends here finished it. My boy.
Speaker 3:Your turn, joker. You know I lost much. I rewatched the last three episodes like five times.
Speaker 2:Bro, absolutely, man, absolutely, it's fucking peak, absolutely. Man Like Baru is the player that I wish I was in my head. You know, coming in all tough and confident, you know, but man like he puts bangers, bro, he's just that guy man, he's just in the background. When he scored, I took my shirt off.
Speaker 1:I did the whole. Me too, bro, I went ballistic.
Speaker 3:The way they have the lion. The lion pop up in the background.
Speaker 1:That shit is so fucking good.
Speaker 3:I know that's not real, but every time he scores oh, it's not the red lighting every time I see the red lightning, the red lightning, yeah, as soon as, like Igo was like guess it's your turn, fucking red lighting.
Speaker 2:I was like no way he's the only character with that cool shit on him, bro. Like bro, everything he does is so tough. Like everything he does the cut the hard right cut, bro. It's just so tough.
Speaker 3:The chop, block the way he does the chop, block the chop, block Shit fucks me up every time, because nobody ever sees it coming.
Speaker 2:Right when he scored, there was like three, four dudes trying to hold his shirt, trying to hold his ass.
Speaker 3:They hold defense. It's like stop him, bro, stop him.
Speaker 1:He's like nah, hell, nah. I'm going to devour your life Like this is all me bro.
Speaker 2:There's people like that, bro. There's people that play like that all the time. Man Absolutely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because soccer I mean of course you see everybody like falling and shit, but it's also a contact sport.
Speaker 1:Oh, absolutely. So that's what you start to see more in blue lock man, like they were definitely emphasizing arms chest tackling. Yeah, there's more to it. Way more into it, way more into it like.
Speaker 2:There was even the scene at the final episode where Rin and his brother like, do like, a strong like, and it was just like something like they were both. It shows you they're both strong, at equal level, they were both reaching, they're like no, bro, I can get it.
Speaker 1:I'm a half step there, I reach and he goes. Oh shit, that's right that was great. How is this possible? That's right, how did I just?
Speaker 3:get. Yeah, bro, you're talking about when he's against him in front of the goal and say comes up yeah. And throws him off balance. Yep.
Speaker 2:Even like when it was the U20, was kind of worth it, because even the demon, what's his name? Shido Shido with the bicycle kick from downtown. Oh man, the animation was crazy.
Speaker 1:Like the sperm and the sky, even his lines of like. The goal is the egg, I am the seed, the soccer ball is my explosion and my goal is we'll knock you up. Oh, bro, that's fucking sick, bro, sick, that's a weird thing to say, though.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, you were mentioning earlier at the beginning of that panel, when he was looking at the ball in the sky. Like you think it's the cells but really somebody.
Speaker 3:I saw somebody on socials be like that's not the cells, that's like the uh, the vaginal wall. Yeah, the vaginal wall. I didn't want to like. It's the birth canal, bro. That's what it was. That's what it was. It's your like your, the sperm?
Speaker 1:Oh, bro, he was ready to get to the egg. I just thought it was cells. These guys blew my mind. They're like it's a pussy bro. I'm like what?
Speaker 3:I was trying to put it nicely, but basically it's a pussy.
Speaker 2:That shit threw me off. I was like never. I don't know anybody that thought about pussy in the middle of the night, Bro.
Speaker 1:I'm going to fuck this girl. I guess this my brother. She's like there's a guy that gets excited while playing soccer and I'm like, yeah, they all get excited.
Speaker 3:She's like no no, no, like excited, and he's like I'm throbbing like never before, and I don't mean my heart. He does have some lines where he's like pause, pause, bro.
Speaker 1:He was on his back. He was on his back like he was pressed on him.
Speaker 2:He's like broski bro fuck off me bro, let me play right.
Speaker 1:No, bro, but when he did like that, when he kicked the fucking ball halfway across the court, homeboy was there immediately and that's when he scored those damn sad kicks, bro. I thought he was going to do the hat trick.
Speaker 2:It was a carnival between the genius and the demon.
Speaker 3:It's so good man, it's so good it was amazing.
Speaker 1:But one of the things that I really wanted to touch on really quick was the fact that they talked about flow, and for me, flow was something that I was really struggling with my whole acting thing recently. Right, I'm trying to struggle to get into the actual character, get enveloped in the scene, not get so much in my head, right. And it was really weird, bro, I feel like I'm glad I waited to watch a blue lock, because I need it in these moments where I'm doubting myself, right, and I'm like I just don't know, bro, I just don't know if I can do it. And it's like no, bro, you have to set these very difficult challenges in front of yourself, rise to the occasion, right, and just get so wrapped up in that challenge.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, okay, if I had to apply this into acting, what would it be like? And I'm like the stage is my pitch, right, the stage is my field, that's where I'm gonna go and perform at. And I have to tell myself like, all right, I'm gonna now. And I couldn't, I want to go in there and be humble, right, and I gotta be like I'm an okay actor. These are a lot of really good kids, you know. I just I'm gonna do my best and I'm like that mentality is why I do mediocre. I'm like nobody goes in there trying to do it be a good actor and think, well, I'm just gonna do, okay, you have in this shit. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Well, you know what, now that you're saying it, you got to be like Timothy Chalamet. He said it in his speech I'm out here to be the best, the best.
Speaker 1:I did, I did.
Speaker 3:Some people were criticizing him, but now he said it like it is. I'm here to be the best.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Kendrick does the same shit too.
Speaker 3:He's like here to be the best bro. You know what I'm saying I'm not here.
Speaker 1:I'm not here to be nominated, only I'm here to be the best. And all these characters, everybody in blue lock right, they want to all be number one and these actors have that ego you have to be an egoist. It doesn't matter if it's a physical sport or an art form.
Speaker 1:You have to have that ego it was something that really stuck true to me and it was something I was like I need to stop looking at myself as like subpar, not as good, going with the mentality I'm going to kill it, I'm going to go in there and do phenomenal. And I'm still struggling, obviously, with entering into the flow, like tapping in, just like Yuzaki. His own thing is like trying to tap into it willingly is still very difficult.
Speaker 2:You know what that's funny? Because it's like it's expanding, like suddenly it's like being able to know, yeah, and then boom, you know, it's like, hey, everybody's between your control. You know, I just run them as a video. I saw one time where, like maradona, the the soccer player was like and I was like he said like wherever Mayweather thinks he's the king of tattoos, wherever I find Mayweather, I'm gonna kill him. Now I always thought like what, what does that mean? But it's like now, hold on, let me break this down right, because this is gonna tap into who you're talking.
Speaker 2:What you're talking about? About ego. You're talking about Maradona. He's just a soccer player, right, but his ego is so elevated that he thinks he can physically defeat one of the greatest defensive boxers of all time. But his ego is so big that he could walk into a unknown team that never, like the city, didn't even have a mayor, and he can say I'm going to elevate this team into the most, greatest competitive contenders of all of europe, which he fucking did. Which blows my mind. But it was that level of ego because I know I'm the best Like look, I'm not even 30 years old, I'm not even 25, you know, and I know I'm so good that on command I can do this. Why, I imagine there's many like instances of practices left, this level of ego. You know competing against people that want to like injure you you know, want to take your ankles.
Speaker 2:You know when I take your ankles, you know. But like you mentioned right now, like he rose to the occasion. So imagine, like, once you're up there, it is like no, I am the most savage person here. And imagine that ego never turned off, like to say something ridiculous is like I can defeat mayweather. It's just a. It's just. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's, that's how good. That's like what you have to go through somebody to say that's ridiculous. What are you talking about, maradona? That makes no sense. You're a soccer player, but since you're breaking it down, it's like no, see, you're limiting yourself by saying no, right, but maradona's ego is so huge, he'll say something so wild.
Speaker 2:I remember one time they even mentioned that said like maradona, you're big into the pope, and he responded just so little but you know but it's like you, I imagine, if, if you can learn how to well control it, because I imagine turning off domain expansion is also like a blessing, you know, but being able to apply it doesn't matter the art form or the sport you said yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1:And it really rang true for me, because you look at Tyson Tyson's affirmations before he goes into the ring. We talked about this.
Speaker 2:The closer I get to the ring, the more confident I get the closer I get to the ring. Once I'm in the ring, oh my God, there's no one to feed me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that shit right there.
Speaker 2:So again, I'm like, even as an actor, you're like, as I get closer to the stage, the better I get.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yeah. So that was my whole thing and it's like, even with the practice, even with the obstacles, that present themselves. The winner mentality is like these new challenges are now. I have to do this in order to get to the goal.
Speaker 3:They break it down in the rule of the academy I mean you're talking about flow, but you're talking about in the beginning, where they get scored again, yes, and then it shows the little, the little monitos, the little monitos yeah. There's people that get challenged and they'll be able to improvise because they stay on task. Absolutely yeah, that was part of the lesson, said yeah talk about that flow state.
Speaker 3:The thing about that flow state is uh, they say in blue log it could apply to anything. Apply to a piano, one of the best examples it could apply to somebody doing a piano recital yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, how, in the moment, they'll be able to fuck up, but do it a thousand times easy in practice. Absolutely. But that flow state is that sweet spot when, if you're too challenged, like if it's too much of a challenge yes, like to you you talk about being challenged, you talk about this is way too hard. All it creates is anxiety. Yes, so it's like anxiety, too much of a challenge. It's going to be hard for you to find a flow state Right Then, if it's too easy the other flow is that it gets bored.
Speaker 3:It gets bored, you stop trying. Yep, yes, even Maradona, if he stopped, if it's too easy for him, he's not going to play as hard.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:Period that's right. Period that's right. So it's about finding that sweet spot, like that long line between, like too challenging and too easy. Of course it's gotta be a challenge, right, like it's still gotta be a challenge because you gotta be engaged, but it can be too challenging. So you gotta find that sweet spot where, like, your ego pushes you to not be like oh, this is too hard. No, you got such a big ego, do this no matter how challenging.
Speaker 1:It is I can do it yeah absolutely so. That's my quest right now. Guys, I'm on my search to find the flow I should. I advocate you do the same. Go find your flow yeah, find the flow.
Speaker 2:There's many ways to do it, that's right. No, absolutely it is. It's possible in any way. It's absolutely possible. Anyway, I do it all the time I do it, I do because I play soccer. I play recreational soccer and the way I like to start my flow state because they're right, you know, I don't.
Speaker 2:The thing is about flow state. When, before the acknowledgement of flow state, the flow state would appear for me the last 15, 20 minutes of the game. But that's the thing, it's only 15, 20 minutes of the game. Back then I'm like, you know, there was a blink of a night. I'm such in the flow state that time flies by. I didn't know 20, 50 minutes, just flew by. You know, yeah, but that's the thing it's like.
Speaker 2:So once you find your method, my method is always, when I like to play soccer, football, I like to start like in a defensive side, start scoping the opponent. You know, I like to play defensively, see who's the fast guy, and I do measure me, because I give myself no more than 10 minutes, and then I put myself in the uncomfortable position that's the center. Being in the center, you're responsible for fuck-ups, because if they give you the ball and somebody pressures me, I'm losing it. And then it's like, bro, why are they giving me the ball in the first place if all I do is lose it right? So I step into that uncomfortable position and then, for some reason, that's where the magic happens.
Speaker 2:Like he said, the sweet spot begins. I find my comfort zone next to you. Know I'm controlling the center, you become the heartbeat of the field. You know you slow down the play, you create plays, so you go for a goal. Right, because, honestly, it leads to that. I guess I know what they're saying about the Demon King, the ecstasy, because it does feel good to hear. It feels good to hear damn, what a pass. Like. Or like, hey, give it to him, give it to him. Like, my ego lifts even more.
Speaker 2:Like, yeah, that's me yeah, what a pass like. And then I start doing crazy things within the game and it works out and it elevates it even more. You egoist, you egoist, yeah, but nothing's more painful for that post game, because then the blood flow ends, you know, then you know, then your knees start to hurt you become a mortal man again.
Speaker 1:You're like it's the KO.
Speaker 3:Kim, fuck, it's the KO Kim. Too much of a strain on my body I was a demigod like five minutes ago.
Speaker 1:I had it for too long.
Speaker 2:Four times ten especially when you're scoring bangers, usually like because you get frustrated. Your team sucks. I'm shooting it from the fucking half-court. Fuck it. When the blood does that, your joints and the tendons like they feel like the what do you call it? The shots the impact of the shots and that's the worst part. But it's worth the game. I love it. You know I love the game. I can you do this shit for the love?
Speaker 2:of the game the love of the game man, the love of the game. The game, yeah, absolutely. With the love of the game. I always believed in blue-lock characters like Isagi or Ryo. There is an Isagi in the 2025 this year, tell me about it Like today Barcelona will beat.
Speaker 2:Today, on today's date Royal Society is what they're calling it in Spain 4-00, which is a revenge game because the prior game was 1-0. In that team there's a japanese player that they called the japanese messi. His name is tito cubo. He actually trained in barcelona like at the age of 10 or 11, and as you grow up you know he got to train with the division one and then in england there is another player in brighton and hove. He's another great Japanese soccer player. So, and I know it's real because so he's a Rin Bro in 2022.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's the guy who's the name with the one-touch Nagi. Nagi, he's a Nagi, you know, just catch and shoot, catch and shoot all day, bro, all day. Move on, move on with your life, bro, not to too fancy, which is great. It makes sense. It's a painful sport, but the thing is that we all saw, in 2022, japan defeat Spain.
Speaker 2:We saw Japan defeat Germany and Bluelock is real, and it's true because Messi has been defeated, ronaldo has been defeated, brazil has been dunked on 7-1. So can Japan win Absolutely? Can Bluelock inspire these soccer players defeated? Ronaldo has been defeated, brazil has been dunked on 7-1. So can japan win absolutely? Can blue lock inspire these soccer players? Anything is possible. There is a manga about gymnastics. It inspired one of the greatest gymnastic athletes in japan and he won, like two, three gold medals. I think this is the one in 2020 20 don't get me started lying to you, but for sure. But I know this because there was a manga that inspired him to win gold medals. And I know Blue Lock can inspire the national soccer team of Japan to rival what I consider to be the most difficult of World Cups coming up, because one of the reasons is one Messi's going to play for sure.
Speaker 3:This is going to be his last one. I think the last one was the last one.
Speaker 2:He, massey's going to play. For sure, this is going to be his last one. I think the last one was the last one. He's going to play one more because Argentina is playing around him. So, if they play around him, he'll be a playmaker, but not necessarily a scorer. So look out for now, that's one. That's like saying that Goku's playing bro, but at the same time Super Saiyan 4 Goku's back. Well, no, hold on, let me take that back. I'm going to take that Luffy's playing Because who is?
Speaker 2:becoming Goku. I think is going to be Ronaldo, because right now, although he's pushing, he's 40, he's going to play his last World Cup and he's playing in Saudi Arabia. Now, laugh all you want in the Saudi Arabia, but you go run five minutes In 110 degree weather, go do it for an hour and a half. A 40-year-old man. So he's out there doing some Goku-namic training shit right now.
Speaker 3:Ronaldo had that ego in him too man. Ronaldo will sit there and be like I'm the most complete player. I understand likes. I understand having your favorite player, messi being your favorite, neymar being your favorite, but I am 100% the most complete player. Damn Ronaldo. Quote.
Speaker 2:At 40 in that. What do you call it that hyper chamber, hyper?
Speaker 1:ball attack. That's what he's doing. That's what he's doing, bro, he's gonna for sure come back with that super save. He looks 25. At 40, he still looks 25.
Speaker 2:And now, we're looking at Europe. Of course, we got one that wants all the smoke once again. Bro, he's more like the modern day Zidane because he only shows up in the World Cup. So Mbappe Mbappe had that match with Argentina. They knocked him out and he became the world champion. Then he lost recently. So he wants that comeback, he wants that third fight, he wants that Muhammad Ali Joe Frazier go for the third Sounds dope.
Speaker 3:I think he's older now. He has more experience.
Speaker 1:Didn't you say he was called the?
Speaker 2:uncrowned prince. No, hold on, we'll get to him. We'll get to him Because I'm still in Europe, because in Europe there is a 70-year-old child who carried the country of Spain and won the Euro Cup against the entire continent, and he's the starter for Barcelona, la Minha Mall, and he will be playing. You can consider him one of the worst generations, or you can call him what do you call him? From what?
Speaker 1:do you call him from this?
Speaker 2:generation. What do you call him? From Black Clover Asta? You can call him. He's the Asta, a young kid buck wild, loud as fuck but he's dunking in adults. Bro, cannot even lift a drink in Europe. And you can drink in Europe. And, of course, like my buddy mentioned here, the prince that never wanted to become king, neymar. Neymar is back. He's right now back in his boyhood club, santos, where it all started. When he was just a 13-year-old. He got signed professionally the one they dubbed the next Pelé, and he's back in his club. He's carrying his boyhood club back into the Division I, and you know he's happier than ever. Not only he's young, but this is his last chance to prove one more time that he's the last Joga Bonito.
Speaker 3:So this is what you're going to be so.
Speaker 2:this is why I expect him this World Cup, and I think Japan have the capability to defeat these giants. The French guy Mbappe, defeat the 17-year-old sensation. Defeat Messi, an entire country of Argentina. Ronaldo coming in like Goku.
Speaker 3:You know, the blue-look episode of the World, 5. Bro.
Speaker 2:And Japan has the capability to do this. Man, all it takes is one isagi, all it takes is one touch Ni-bon, ni-bon.
Speaker 3:Ni-bon.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so yeah, this 2026 is one to look out, guys, because for sure, the world cup is gonna go hard he sold the shit out of me on that, bro.
Speaker 3:I was like not because he's right some of the some of the last of the greats are gonna play in this world cup that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm excited. What? How? He's a key's name at the very end. Yo we he's a key.
Speaker 3:Yo we he's a key, so fired me Like, not only in Japan, but I think blue look is gonna inspire, like a lot of the other players, because people are watching.
Speaker 1:Oh, I want to go by a pair and go hit the pitch right now, which I'm you know I'm saying like come on and of course I, thomas, gonna come out and be like what?
Speaker 1:absolutely, bro. You know what I actually there's. Uh, there's one of my co-workers. Real fast, the last thing one of my co-workers brothers is watching blue lock and he is like the the body. No, no, no, no, it's not baru bachira, he's like bachira bro, he wants to play barefooted play his own soccer and he's like he doesn't want to go to the games.
Speaker 1:He practices outside, like when it's like six o'clock, seven o'clock, sunset, yeah, and I'm like, oh, I bet you, he's like I don't want to conform to them. This is all. She's like do you know my brother? I was like I know blue lock, bro, watch it, you'll learn more about your brother.
Speaker 2:So that shit was great, but anyway, yeah, and I'm like that's somebody, that's the kind of the soccer it inspires.
Speaker 1:Bro.
Speaker 2:I don't want to play your soccer.
Speaker 1:I want to play my soccer. Yeah, bro. So anyway, does anybody else have anything? Else to do what you got going on for yourself.
