(00:05):
All right everybody, we are backwith this week's episode of
Black Geek Energy from Freak. Yeah, that's a Smino album,
Boris. Not a nice album.
It was a song on his last album.And you just had to have that

(00:26):
shirt. That's true.
I don't want to wear he got an album coming out soon or just
had one come out. OK, so sing the song.
I haven't listened to it. Yet of course, no, no, don't say
the pro freak songs. MMM.
MMM MMM MMM MMM. MMM.

(00:47):
MMM MMM. All right, don't mark this.
That is not it. He.
Got a he? Oh wait, no, no, this is from a
long while ago. Never mind.
No he didn't have it. I'm completely mistaken.
Smino does not have an album coming out.
His last album came out in like late last year.

(01:07):
I'm completely wrong. You give me late news y'all.
OK. But this song Pro Freak is from
his Love for Rent album back in like 2022 when I went to his
concert that he had out here in the Bay, me and my friend Evan
went. So we got a lot to talk about.

(01:32):
We do. First of all I want.
A while since we had an episode together.
I know it's been like 2 weeks it's.
Been two weeks. It's like you don't even want to
be here anymore 'cause you got tired after 100 episodes and now
you're acting funny. No, I mean I just have other
life to live, you know? Well, I would like to hear about
some of that other life. What has been going on with you

(01:55):
this past two weeks? Shit, I went to Coachella.
That's like the biggest, that's like the biggest thing.
It was great. I had a really good time at
Coachella, but we camped and camping was horrible.
Camping I've always hated. I've always hated camping in
theory. Now I hate it in practice.

(02:15):
It is not a fun experience. I don't see how people do it and
be like, oh, I'm so relaxed. Like sleeping in a tent feels
like and sounds like sleeping outside.
It is. There's no there's no
difference. Like you might as well just like
blow up your air mattress in your in the woods and just lay

(02:36):
down. But that's what y'all did,
right? No, we had like a canopy with
like the little with the little tarp walls and then we had a
tent that was kind of like halfway inside the canopy.
So we had, you know, layers between US and the outside.
But like, if somebody was walking around or if like the

(02:58):
wind was blowing, which it always fucking was, then then it
sounded like they was in the tent with you.
Like, yeah. But but Coachella is a great
experience. Like I would if I were to do it
again, I would want to do like like a mini RV, try to make it

(03:19):
more like glamping or get like one of those mattresses that you
can lay out in your car because yeah, because the camping one
for me, because it would be the wind would be blowing so hard at
night. We have like 3 blankets on the
bed and then and still be fully clothed in the bed and not like
light clothes like not like someshorts and AT shirt like we got

(03:42):
on like jogging pants and a hoodunder 3 blankets in the bed.
That's how cold it would be at night.
Wow. Because Coachella's in the
desert, so the temperature from sunrise would be like crazy if
being if you weren't out of bed,if you weren't up out of your
tent by like 9:00 when the sun was up in the air, it was
blazing hot in the tent. Now all.

(04:04):
That. To say the camping was the worst
part but Coachella was fucking amazing.
I saw T pain. I saw big X, the plug, Megan the
stallion, Glorilla. I'm going to get me a shirt and
say Glow Nigga because I'm a fan.
I made that up while I was out there.

(04:25):
Ain't never seen a Glow Nigga shirt, but I feel like that
should have. It'll fly off the shelves.
We got to go ahead and make it. Jerry put it in a BGE shop and
have like a little BG E logo on it.
OK, OK, OK nigga, we got to be wearing for all the Megan fans
too. I mean, I don't, I don't know
that, would I? You know, I ain't come up with a
good one for Megan fans, but so,yeah.

(04:49):
So Three 6 Mafia, that's Three 6Mafia said was hella good.
Saw Shibuzi. Shibuzi was surprised.
I knew Shibuya was going to be good, but I didn't know he was
going to be as good as he was. Like I was like, I was like,
damn. I was like, Shibuzi, maybe we
want to go listen to like some more country music.
Yeah, that's how I felt after their fiance.

(05:11):
So you didn't like camping? You want to go up next time?
So. So you're saying that there will
be a next time? Probably, I mean, probably
because we went, we went this time and like we missed so many
of the people that we had like wanted to see because we made it
like a little little set list beforehand.
Like here's our must sees here, people that really want to see

(05:32):
and we missed a lot of things. So like there's a thing called
like both cello where people go to both weekends of Coachella
and, and that way you can like see everybody want to see one
weekend and then just fill in the gaps next weekend.
So they said that second weekendit was like very like nobody was
really there. Oh, no.

(05:52):
That second weekend was packed. It was packed.
Thousands of people, thousands upon thousands.
But what I did see on the way inthere, like it was it was on a
billboard to like driving towardIndio, CA, where Coachella is,
it was a it was a billboard thatsaid weekend one pretty, weekend
2 ugly because all the influencers and like the pretty

(06:18):
people go to weekend one Coachella and then everybody
else goes to weekend 2 Coachella.
So didn't look over here to you.It looked this having never been
to a Coachella before, it lookedthe same.
And but Shawna, my girl, she's been to multiple Coachella's and

(06:38):
she's been to a weekend one before and she says the only
difference is that the people are meaner.
People are meaner in weekend one.
Like people are more assholes. Weekend 2 is like more fun.
People are like chill, you know,very much like community while
you're there. OK, OK.
OK, one more story about the wind before I OK, so the wind

(07:00):
was blowing so fucking horrible.Oh.
My God you are so mad about the elements.
The wind was blowing so fucking hard.
Like First off, we get down there Thursday night so the wind
blowing hard, it's cold as fuck.We set up the tent.
It's not until the tent was easysurprisingly, but the wind is
already cooking. The next day, Friday, you know,

(07:24):
we go to a bunch of shows. We start to come back toward
like sunset around like 6 O clock, 7 O clock and the wind
once again is blowing. Only this time it is blowing
shits. It's blowing folks canopies in
tents away. That's crazy.
Like you can see, you might see like the, the, the, the odd

(07:45):
loose tent, just like blowing across the campground, you might
see you saw like 30% of the canopies turned upside down,
completely unrooted from the ground.
Our neighbors next to us, they their their canopy blue got blew

(08:08):
away and flipped on top of ours and I'm like, yo, I'm like, we
got a light detach their canopy from ours because like if the
the wind keeps blowing that shit, it's going to take our
canopy away too because theirs is caught on ours.
But yeah, that didn't that didn't happen.

(08:28):
I like, I was like walking back.There were so many legs in the
air. It looked like he was in a strip
club. Legs in the air.
Because the canopy legs, the canopy legs would be in the air
upside down, OK. I thought like people were being
tossed by the man. No, no, no, no, no.
And then folks were shitting in the shower.
Jared. They had they had shower
trailers, which were pretty dope.

(08:49):
Not not that big a deal. Like it's like using a dorm room
shower. But like the second day that I
went to go take a shower, they had dudes out there with like
the megaphones, like yo, if you shit in the showers again, we
shutting them down. And the guys had had like 3
people shit in the shower on three separate occasions.
Guess how many the girls had? How many?

(09:13):
No guess. Take a guess.
What is happening? Oh no, but you're you're a good
guesser because they had fucking10.
The girls had had 10 different shower shits.
So what was the matter with the bathrooms?
Nothing was wrong with the bathrooms, people just wasn't.
I guess people just, I don't know.

(09:34):
I think my theory is that peoplewere on drugs and they just
couldn't hold it so when they got in the shower they just
could've had to release it. Theory 2 is that people just
didn't give a fuck. They didn't want to go because a
lot of their bathrooms were justporta potties.
They didn't want to go to use the porta potties for this shot
in the shower. That was stupid.

(09:56):
Because they shut down them showers, I'm leaving, so I'm not
just going to sit out here dirty.
Right. So you were only out there for
two days, right? No, it was from Thursday to
then. We left Monday.
From Thursday night to Monday. It was a long time.

(10:17):
To be outside. Marcus That's I know, right,
That camping shit is wild. But like you can people, there
are people who get like Airbnbs that are close enough to like
walk, but they say that's like an hour affair.
It's like between walking and getting into the festival.
That's an hour walk. But they're also like shows that
just come pick you up from your Airbnb, but then you like
waiting an hour in line. The best move is really the camp

(10:40):
so that you can just walk on to the festival ground, 30 minute
walk, walk back to your little campsite.
You know, you can do in and out and shit.
You can go. You can go take a break in the
middle of the day, you know, andrest and recharge.
Not while they pooping in the showers.
Hey bro, well, I never saw, I never saw or smelled a shower.

(11:01):
Shit, it was my fucking Adam. It was pretty fucking Adam it.
So get back to work and how is the rest of your week?
Yo, but I am. I was exhausted.
Like we got back Monday night and so we had we woke up Monday
morning at like 9:00 we partied till maybe like we went to sleep

(11:23):
at like 5:00 AM woke up at 9 broke down the campsite woke up
to a police officer being like right next to our campsite.
Like hey, like y'all know y'all got to be out of here by 10:00
And it's like we know, but you know, we won't move as fast as
we can and we don't leave when we leave like and then it like
the folks be camping with like everybody else woke up except

(11:44):
for one girl and he's like oh she's got to wake up.
She's got to look me in the eye and have a conversation with me.
Do y'all you know, does she needlike medical help?
And we're like no, she's just asleep bro.
Like you doing the most. Exactly does the actual police
officer was it? Yes, on a horse, Jerry.
Actual police on a fucking horse.
In the desert, Oh my God. So we, we break down the camp,

(12:10):
we woke up at 9:00 AM, break down the campsite, drive back to
LA, which is and we in mad traffic.
So that to LA supposed to be like 2 1/2 hours, you know,
taking us like 3 1/2 four hours to get back to LA.
We drop off all the camping gear, we go to the airport, drop
off the rental car, back on the plane.
We get back, we get back to San Jose back at like 9:30 PM.

(12:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get back to the house, probably
like like 10:30. And for the rest of the week,
Jerry, I'm exhausted like that. That first night in bed was like
the first like really complete and fulfilling night of sleep.
I had like four or five days andthen that shower that I took

(12:55):
when I got home, the cleanest I had felt in in in the same
amount of time. But for the rest of the week,
like that Tuesday, I'm supposed to be working, man.
I keep falling asleep and I'm working from home, so it's all
good, but I keep falling asleep.Like I can't stay awake to save
my life. I go to work the next day and
like, from pretty much from likewhen I get there till noon, I'm

(13:18):
in a fog, like folks talking to me.
And it sounds like the, the Peanuts teacher.
Yeah. I'm like, yo, like I'm trying to
look at my screen. I can't, I can't see.
I can't make out the words. Like I didn't, I didn't feel
like myself until like Saturday for real.
So like yesterday, like Friday evening, Friday, Friday was

(13:39):
pretty Good Friday, I felt pretty rested, but like, well,
tell us a fucking whirlwind. Like day one.
I was like, yo, I was like, I'm already pretty tired and I know
because we had did like a whole day of shows at that point and I
was like, I was like, yo, I'm pretty tired, pretty tired.
And we got like another three hours of shows and I and it's
already cold as fuck out here. And I know when we go back to

(14:00):
the campsite, I'm not going to be able to like really rest for
real because we still going to be outside.
You know. And, you know, and Shawna's
like, so like, oh, see, this is like my kind of festival, like,
you ain't on my level. And I was like, I'm apparently
I'm not. That's OK.
I'm OK with that. I'm comfortable with this being,
like, my maximum level of party of festival of Raven because

(14:23):
this is exhausting. And we got four more days of
this shit. Yeah, that's crazy.
But no, it was great. It was great.
I would do it again. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Yeah. Maybe 9, 9 out of 10 would
recommend because the camping islike you got to be.
If you already a camper, go for it.

(14:44):
If you're not, it's going to be a adjustment.
It's going to be an experience, but worth it.
A worthwhile experience. Because that's pooping in the
showers and. Apparently that doesn't happen
every year. It just happened the year I went
and. Then getting the wind outside

(15:04):
and all that stuff like I need to went when if I can go to
sleep at night, I need to be able to rest.
So it doesn't sound like a enjoyable experience for me,
but. I mean, you got to go glamping,
you got to like sleep in the caror like get like a mini RV or
something. I did see folks that had the
mini RV's and they would like sleep in the RV or like they'll

(15:27):
have like a little like makeshift tent on top of the
joint. Like the RV has like a panel on
the top that lets up and is makes like a room up there.
Like those shits look comfortable?
Well I would have to do that or or get the Airbnb.
I don't mind the hour travel. It's crazy.

(15:49):
Oh, the Airbnb is gonna be expensive though.
If I have enough money to be at Coachella, I have enough money
to get the RV. Hey, that's, that's real.
That's real. That's how I feel.
And then yeah, and but you don'tget no breaks like if you go in
Airbnb, like once you go into the festival, you end for the
whole day. OK, well we'll see.

(16:13):
Well, I'm never going to do Coachella cause Beyoncé, I
already play that one. There's nobody I want to see
that bad standing outside all day.
Really. Nobody I want to see that bad.
Not one person. What about 5 people?
The answer is no. They're they're so aside from
Beyoncé, they're not 5 artists, music artists that you want to

(16:35):
go see. Nope at the same time.
OK, Nope. OK, cool.
Well, my week was, well, I'm like, just going to.
I'm not going to sugarcoat it, DeMarcus.
I'm about to get fired. For what?
About get fired, I've come to the realization that me and this

(16:58):
boss, we don't get along. We don't see eye to eye because
like I said it before, he has a fully foreign team and DC were
Indian and Nigerian or whatever,but they're really passive.
So he talks to them any type of way.
He makes them work 10 hours a day, six days a week.

(17:21):
I'm not doing that. I'll give you. 10 hours, six
days a week. This is America.
We got rules against that. Exactly, exactly.
So I'm not doing that. So he has called me multiple
times and I have told him I'm not doing that task because
that's a boomer ideology and it's not going to work for what

(17:42):
you're trying to do. And I have told him like, like
he called me other day, I was yelling at him like, no, that's
not you. Was yelling at him.
Because a, he was doing that thing where he wouldn't allow me
to talk and he was cutting me off.
And you know that that's my trigger.

(18:04):
So I was just like, Oh no, I'm not taking this from anybody.
Especially after what happened to me with Atlanta.
I'm taking this to anybody. So I'm about to get fired.
Just letting y'all know, just letting y'all know, me and my
'cause he doesn't want us to talk behind the scenes.

(18:25):
Like he doesn't want us to talk,like he doesn't want us to be
friends. So me and my coworkers behind
the scenes, I've been talking, of course, via text and LinkedIn
messages, like he's crazy. And if you need somebody, you
can call me if you need a reference or anything, you know,
Yeah, I've been responding to their references like, OK, no,

(18:48):
not at, not at all. Not.
At Crazy But Jerry, I feel like we all knew something was gone.
We knew there was a foot, there was another foot to drop because
of the way this hiring process. Yeah, yeah.
It's like, why am I still getting new things to my chap
description and having to revampmy whole team's job decision?

(19:14):
I'm like, why am I doing this? These people have been here for
years. Why are they getting their job
descriptions revamped so. Is there like a reorg going on?
Is like no? No, no.
So it's a whole bunch of stuff. So yeah, just to let you know, I

(19:35):
can't sugar Cody. I'm not even fired.
Golly, Jerry, you just got this damn job.
I. Know, I know, but it's about to
come down because I didn't work it yesterday which is Saturday
but. Saturday.
You're not supposed to work on Saturday.
They all did like I was getting new mini store Saturday.

(19:57):
I even got 1 today. I'm like no, like I have to turn
my outlook in teams on do not disturb after after 5:00 'cause
I'm not answering them. And then he he called me on
Easter. Easter evening.

(20:18):
That's Sunday. He had like, I'm gonna answer
that. He calls me after 8:00 and then
like I had to delete WhatsApp. Where?
Where was he in the world? What time is it for him in the
world? Manhattan.
Oh, so he out in the same time? Zone exactly he's like he calls
me from WhatsApp. I had to delete WhatsApp 'cause
I'm not even dealing with WhatsApp.

(20:40):
He he sorry, call me on my personal cell phone.
So now he doesn't call me at all.
He tells somebody to tell somebody tell me what he wants.
So I tell somebody to tell somebody to tell him no, I'm not
doing that since that's since that's what he wants to do.
That's petty. It's petty.

(21:01):
It's him and petty of you. So that for y'all to be like
using somebody, I'll be like, no, I'm not.
I'm not your messenger, not yourPA.
And and, and they can do that, but they don't.
They're like OK, 'cause like, no, I'm not, I'm not doing that
stuff that he wants me to do from 1986.
Cause the people that convert they not converting like that so

(21:21):
that I'm not wasting my time. I do think that at at a certain
point there has to be some levelof enrichment from you education
because you that that's not whatyou.
He doesn't know what you know. That's which is why he hired

(21:42):
you. No, he does know what I know.
I've tried to tell him but he always cuts me up for these
conversations. And then this last conversation
he said that he can do my job better than me.
I was like, OK, so OK, so I don't need to be here, so I
don't need to be here, right? He was like he was like, well, I

(22:02):
don't know about that. I'm going to give you a chance.
And then he sent me APIP alreadyso I'm about to be just got.
You ain't even out of your probation period.
How you on APIP? Exactly.
Oh, Jerry, exactly. I'm on my PIP because I
interviewed for a marketing position.
I got hired for a marketing position.

(22:23):
I'm doing marketing job. All my PIP is a whole bunch of
sales things. So so he's he's adding stuff to
my job description to get me fired.
You're the boss is is New York at will fire like Georgia, I
think. So.
Like you don't have to do all this.

(22:43):
Let's look it up. You don't have to do all this
mess. But, you know, he got to have
like a paper trail. He got to have enough to prevent
a lawsuit should you decide thatyou're going to sue.
I'm not going to sue him, but hedon't have to do all this mess.
I am not about to sue that man. Yeah.

(23:06):
Is it at will hire? It's at will fire.
Is that will employment? Yeah.
OK, so you can just let me go. So now I'm just waiting for him
to let me go. So you can get unemployment.
So I can do something. You're the you're the second.
Well you didn't specifically saythat, but you're the second
person to tell me I'm waiting ona job to fire me instead of just

(23:29):
leaving a job. 'Cause that's what's going to
happen, that's what's going to end, that's what's going to
happen. So anyways, the Marcus, that's
what I've been dealing with thisweek.
God. Lee J.
That's a lot. Did you see sinners?
I'm seeing it today afternoon. OK, you already seen it.

(23:49):
Yes. OK, I've seen a lot of good
reviews, it's been making a lot of money and I'm glad.
Me too. I'm mad at them headlines
they've been giving it though. Me too Variety saying that will
it ever make the 90 million thatit was and it's.
Like. And it was like for 60 million

(24:11):
for original content story. What are you talking about, you
stupid? Right, like the first week and
it made like 45,000,000. It's like it's halfway there.
In the first. Week in the first week, 60, yes.
So yeah, like at the end of the weekend when I saw the story, it
wasn't at 60 yet. But yeah, if it's already that's

(24:31):
more than half, that's 2/3 of what it took to make the movie.
It has got at least three more weeks in theaters.
Right. And then of course, all the
extra stuff. And then all the shit.
And then like, you know, the DVD's, if they still do that, I
don't know they do that. The download shit, God damn.
You know, international it's gonna be, but it's gonna make

(24:54):
way more than 90. Right.
And it only took 90 million to make.
That's a good. It looked like a good ass movie.
Yeah, plus it's only period piece and you know those are the
more expensive. Alright, DeMarcus, now's the
time where we put our listeners or watchers.

(25:16):
We do have watchers. We put them on to something, put
them on to something that is. We got some voyeurs, we got some
perverts. Oh God, we're we're doing this
in video. What are you talking about?
But it's time to put people on. They can be put on the E Naked

(25:37):
Media, podcast, movies, TV's, books, whatever.
Games. Video games.
Video games, whatever. So yeah.
And this is sponsored by our good friends at MoviePass.
Can you tell them something about Movie Pass?
Led by Stacy Spice we had on theprevious episode.

(26:01):
You should go check that. That was a great episode.
A great episode he was, he was so much fun to talk to.
But Movie Pass is a subscriptionbased service meant to make
movie going easier and more accessible for everyone.
And the whole shtick is that youpay a monthly fee and then
you're able to go see, you know,a number of movies based on the

(26:24):
level of subscription you have. Even at the lowest one, which I
had a while ago, I was seeing, you know, 3 to 4 movies a month,
depending on how you spend thosepoints that they give you.
They send you, once you sign up,they're going to send you a, a
movie pass card, which is a MasterCard.
You use it just like a credit card once you unlock your card

(26:45):
in the app after choosing the movie that you want to see that
day. Yeah.
Anything else Jerry did you wantto say about Movie Pass?
Look, Stacy said that you did that so well that he was going
to do it and he that he was going to sign up and he made the
company. So I can no longer say anything
about these little things that you do because they are perfect

(27:08):
according to the founder of the company.
So you were great, but this timeI'm going to put people on to
this new game I started playing called Claire Obscure Expedition
33. It is a obscure, yeah, it is a

(27:29):
brand new video game. What happened is I got my Xbox
Game Pass back so I got it because they got Claire Obscure,
South of Midnight and Oblivion 4which is the.
They got South of midnight on the Game Pass.
Yeah. Is it on the PSN 2 PSN game

(27:51):
pass? No.
OK, but it's on Xbox Game Pass. OK, I'm gonna fuck with that.
Yeah, so they got three games I want to play.
They're going to get more games this upcoming summer.
So I just went ahead and got it.But Clare Obscure 33 is a term
based game from these French people selling France in the

(28:11):
future or something. I just.
Look, it's a French game. Look, I just completed the
prologue so I'm not sure what this game is about, but the
story seems fun. The battle seems fun.
It's like quick, it's it's like Ledger of Dragoon where you have
the click something. It.

(28:33):
Happens and you get like extra damage on it, but you can also
click something when something hits you and you get you could
like block or Perry or whatever and.
It's called clay Obscure. Clair Obscure Clair Obscure 33
and it's a brand new game, just came out like 2 weeks ago and I

(28:56):
just started with the prologue and it's pretty fun.
It's a pretty good RPG. They said it's like 35 hours if
you want to do everything. That's a pretty, that's a
pretty, pretty tight, it's pretty tight timeline.
I like that, yeah. I ain't gonna play for the rest
of my life. And then they said that South of
Midnight is just 7 hours, so I did want to get that one.

(29:19):
And they said that, you know, Oblivion, Miss Skyrim, so we'll
be playing that until Skyrim comes out.
So yes, those are the next threegames I'm going to be playing.
But yeah, Clamps. Spirit is what I'm playing now.
Clamps. Spirit South of midnight and
then. Oblivion.
Oblivion, Skyrim. Oblivion.
OK, until the next Skyrim comes out.

(29:41):
Yeah, 'cause Oblivion is the game they made before Skyrim.
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
So Oblivion. Yeah, Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
OK, that's what's up. Yeah.
Do you have anything you want toput them on to?
Yeah, I now watch this new animeand it's from last, I think it's

(30:03):
from last like anime season. And by which I mean if we're
going in the spring now or goingin the summer now?
We're in summer now. We're in the summer now, OK?
No, no, we're in spring, Spring.Yeah, OK, so this is this might
have been like a fall 2024 anime.

(30:23):
Winter. Winter, which was the last one,
but the one before that was fall.
Yeah, what's the anime child? I'm saying this is from the
fall. It's called I'm in the noble on
the brink of ruin, so I might aswell try mastering magic.
And you know, I hate these ones with the long names, which is
probably why I didn't watch it when it came out.

(30:44):
But. Not your culture.
But when I watched it, it was actually pretty enjoyable.
It's really fast-paced and it's all about this dude who like
learning to use magic and learning spells and stuff is
becoming like more and more powerful.
And he's the, the, the, the kickis that he's a, he's like the
fifth son in this like very low ranking noble family.

(31:07):
And so like as his, he starts tolike build himself up and become
bigger and bigger. Hit the first son who's the, the
next line to be head of the family starts like fucking with
them and they start like kind ofclashing.
That was like one of the more interesting bits for me.
But Jay, I think you might like it because he he does like a lot
of magic all the time in every episode.

(31:30):
But it's not as it's not so muchmagic battle all the time, but
it's magic for like everything. Yeah.
OK, I think so. Repeat.
Repeat the name again. I'm a noble on the brink of
ruin, so I might as well try mastering magic.
OK, I'll check it out. I'll check it out.
All right, DeMarcus, do you havea game for today?

(31:51):
I do have an activity for us. Let me pull it up here and for
those who are just joining us, if you're a first time
listening, what where have you been?
First, second, so glad to have you here welcome to the show.
Glad to have you here as a geek and 3rd.
The way these games work is DeMarcus is the master of games

(32:15):
here. He comes up with all the games
and activities on BGE. He decides who has the right
answers, who has the wrong answers, who are the winners and
the losers. And today's game, let me see,
I'm going to call it that's the same because what I'm going to
do, Jerry is going, I'm going toshow you pictures from different

(32:39):
scenes of anime and you're goingto tell me what anime is from.
It's going to be pretty easy because some of these are like
super iconic. Some of these are like from your
favorites and it will not alwaysjust be like the full scene.
Sometimes it might be like a zoomed in or a crop shot of a
particular part of the scene. And what I want you to do is

(33:04):
just tell me what the anime is from.
Bonus point if you can tell me what the scene is or what what
what's going on in the story in that part of the anime.
All right. Bye.
See, this is the type of thing that we talked about, DeMarcus.
What do you mean? This everything I'll be talking
about you, you do these things that you know I'm not going to

(33:28):
win, you know I'm not going to succeeded.
I don't know that. OK, yes you do.
Yes, you do. Alright, cool.
Alright, DeMarcus, since we wantto embarrass me today, we can.

(33:49):
I don't want to embarrass you. Alright, cool.
I don't wanna, that's I. Don't even have my phone so I
can cheat. Perfect.
Let me, can I do it this way? Great.
This is perfect. This is exactly what I want.
Let me see if I can just make this full screen.
Da, da, da. There it is.

(34:10):
That's it. OK, maybe zoom this in a little
bit. Perfect.
This other one's in there. OK, great.
Now it's not but, so I'll zoom the others in when we get there.
I am going to share my screen with you Sir, if you will allow.
I don't know why you always makeme have to request.
Permission mark is. I do not turn it off.

(34:30):
You don't turn it on. Yes, I do.
OK, so here is #1 what scene is this anime from?
What anime is this a scene of? Yeah, what scene is this anime
from? That's the demon Slayer boy.
OK, great little crybaby. Boy.

(34:51):
Mm hmm. It sure is.
And that's the crybaby demons, not?
Your boy, do you know what's going on here?
Can you tell me what's happeningin this story, in this part?
This is right after his mom and and brother and sister died and
he was mad and so he tried to fight the demon and he's just
tried to fight them with the power of his tears because

(35:13):
that's all he does is cry. That's way incorrect, so let's
move on to #2 wait. What's happening?
This this is the first time thathe uses the what's what's the
thing called the the Hema Curry,the flame state, whatever the
the the sun stands his his dad uses.

(35:34):
OK, first time he uses that. I like his dad was just a farmer
or something that Just Dance in the woods.
His his dad knows some kind of like breath style and I think
it's called the Hina Curry or. Alright, whatever.
Yeah. The Hima Curry Kagura dance or
something like that. Alright but the next one OK

(35:58):
theme. What anime is this from?
And then can you tell me what ishappening in this scene?
So this is from My Hero Academiaand this is All Might and what
was happening is that Almight was so frustrated with Deku

(36:18):
crying all the time and every sohe just did a Detroit smash
against him and finally killing Deku.
That's. Not what's happening right here
at all. That is the scene.
That's not. That's not the scene.
Bro OK, well. That was happening here.
This is when he's fought. He's fighting All for One and
this is his final like United States of Smash Punch.

(36:44):
I knew. I knew it was something.
Oh wow. OK #3 can you tell me what anime
this scene is from? Is it from One Piece?
It is from One Piece. What is going on here?
So I think that in this scene the the guy Ada ate a fruit.

(37:08):
Fruit. OK, stop fruit.
Don't let me. We're going.
No. No, it wasn't a fruit fruit.
It was actually one of the alienparasites from aliens.
We crawled out. Of his of his stomach.
After it implanted in him, it crawled out and then this is the
result. This is very obviously the scene
when Ace dies at Marine Four in one piece.

(37:32):
I didn't I I never seen this. But you knew it was one piece.
Yeah, so, you know, hey, you gotthe point.
Jerry Who? Who is Ace Luffy's older
brother? Yep.
Alright. And he can even save his
brother, OK? Next one, where is this one
from? This is #4 What anime is this

(37:54):
scene from? Is this Naruto?
No, it's just Bleach. It's Naruto.
Which one we going with? Naruto.
Naruto. Yeah.
Jerry, you should learn to second guess yourself more often
because this is the scene from Bleach.

(38:15):
Oh yeah, I remember it now. Yeah, I remember.
I know what's happening in this scene too.
What is happening in this scene?So in this scene this character
is looking at. There I was.
Really, I was really excited foryou to get this one right so you
can still get a point on this question 'cause you're well on

(38:39):
your way to a perfect score. So so if you if.
You can get the bonus point here.
We're back on track to that perfect score.
Let me just. Well, I can't you.
Can't Google? It but let me just let me just
speak real quick. So the character here is looking
at the girl character with the fairies in her hair and she's

(39:03):
looking at him seductively with her legs open and the black
flames that comes up are the odors that are coming out of
from between her legs. This is Ichigo's final Getsuga
10 show when he's fighting with the guy's name Eisen in Bleach.

(39:24):
OK. Yeah, that's what this that's
what this scene is the final Getsuga 10 show.
Wow, so you're saying I what's wrong?
Saying you was completely wrong with that.
What anime is this scene from #5?
And Dragon Ball Z. This is one of your favorites.

(39:46):
I. Think you might have put me on
to this anime? Avatar the Last Airbender.
I hate, I hate the guesses you make because they just, you just
pull anything out your ass. It's not even an educated guess.
This is from the Promise Neverland.

(40:07):
Oh, OK, OK, OK. Oh, oh, I know it's happening in
this scene. OK, what is happening in this
scene? So in this scene he was just
killed by a monster. The reason I'm quiet is because

(40:31):
if you can give me a little more, I might give you the point
for this one. OK, he was just killed by the
monster and the nanny came up and was like, oh, I see you're
dead and there's nothing left from you, so I guess you're

(40:51):
worthless now, little kid. OK, so yeah, now you don't know
what's going on here. This is when the other children
figure out that they are being killed and sold as meat to the
aliens on this planet. This is when they find the first
like dead child cause the the kid had left there like Bunny in

(41:14):
the when they were had they had to be going away party.
The kid left their Bunny. There's like oh we can like take
it back. They go down to the gate and
they find the kid like then laying on the ground.
So they're aliens? I thought they were just
monsters. Or demons, aliens, demons.
Like they're not humans and AE humans.
I think that's the point. That's the larger point here.

(41:36):
OK, cool. Yeah, great, great.
We got five more. What anime is this?
This is Jujitsu Kaizen. Yes, it is.
This is definitely JJK. This one was a super easy
screenshot, so it should be super easy for you to tell me

(42:00):
what's happening in this scene. Right, right, right.
So this is the this is the scenewhere in in JJK where he's
looking at the main protagonist and they realize that they like
each other. Yeah, no, this is when they
first reveal this is Goto's powers.

(42:25):
This one pulls down, you know the takes off the little eye
mask and we see his eyes for thefirst time.
And then we. Figure out what he can do.
I don't. I still don't know what he can
do. Even after seeing it and hearing
and explain. I don't know what.
I don't know what's going on there.
What's? This is, this is RE0, this is,

(42:47):
and this is 'cause this guy is the little guy who who always
hung around the ice, ice person.And he's showing his real powers
here, that he's a he's like a God amongst men, that he's just
like an avatar. Yeah, yeah.

(43:07):
OK, OK, that's real cool. That's give me a little more.
Give me a, give me a little bit more.
And and he's about to kill RE0 like how he's supposed to be
killed in every episode. Absolutely.
That is, that's absolutely right.
This is where old girl has died the the Princess girl.

(43:28):
Oh yeah, he was getting revenge.And he's like, yo, you said you
won't let her die, so now I'm about to kill you.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's only zero. What's good?
Good. Job two points on that one.
Alright, what anime is this scene from?

(43:48):
This is One Punch Man. OK, alright, alright.
And what is going on in the showat this point?
Obviously you can see the guy inthe front is looking at his Dick
and the second guy is not to grab his Dick and start to do a

(44:10):
furious jacking off. OK, yeah, so this is not One
Punch Man, nor is that what's happening from Attack on Titan.
And what's going on here is is when this is when they.
This is when Bertold and the other guy revealed that they are
the Colossal and Armored Titans.OK.

(44:35):
Yes. OK, well.
All right, we got two more. Jared, you're doing great.
You're doing great. Let's see.
You have two 456 points. If you get all four points from
here on out, you can still get aperfect score and you only need

(44:55):
one more point to win this game.All right.
So you can win all right, just one more, just get one more
correct answer. But you can get a perfect score
if you guess the anime and the scene for the next two.
All right, cool. I'm gonna do it.
All right, this is #9. I don't watch this anime but is

(45:18):
this hunter Hunter? This is this is Hunter X Hunter.
Yeah. What is happening in this scene?
Well, I mean, it's pretty obvious.
This guy in front, you know, he's in a crop top.

(45:38):
So, you know, he has just been eliminated from RuPaul's Drag
Race, and he was backing up and about to do his exit line.
And, you know, he fell while doing his exit line.
So that's what happened in this scene.

(46:01):
No, that's that's, that's not it, Jerry.
Alright, have you ever seen Hunter Hunter.
I've seen all of Hunter Hunter and what's going on here?
Is the main character gone? Had just found out that his
teacher, I forget his name had was killed by this incock pito

(46:24):
and he did his whole power up transformation deal where he
turns into a grown ass man and whoops her ass.
What? So that's why he has a crop top
part. Yeah, 'cause he was a little boy
and then he just suddenly turnedinto a man and that's why he got
on 2 inch seam shorts and a croptop and his hair is just like

(46:44):
long and straight up. That's a dumb power up.
Hey, you know, it made him hellastronger.
It gave him the power he needed to avenge his teacher.
OK, last one. Last one, what scene is this
anime from? Powerful Girls?
This scene from Yes. What anime is it?

(47:05):
Powerful girls, not an anime. OK.
But we do have an anime At this point I'm not sure.
But anyway, yeah, what's this from?
I'm gonna have to guess Boruto. Boruto OK and this is not from

(47:28):
Boruto. This one is actually from Naruto
I. Thought I was about to say that
so. Yeah, yeah.
Can you guess what is going on in this thing?
This is when they first decided to be friends.
Karama. And there we go.

(47:51):
That's a good guess. That's actually an educated
guess. It's no.
It's not because they first decided that when he was in jail
when and they did the thing withhim behind the bars.
Not very educated, I just. Remembered that?
Alright, well, OK, I'll take it back then.
This is Michael in Saske's finalbattle at the Valley of at the

(48:16):
final Valley. I think that's what it was, what
the joint is called or the Valley of the Hokage or
something. But yeah, this is their final
battle when after they beat up Martara and Obito and Kaguya,
they've already gone, came down and did and did everything.
And this is that final battle when they both lose an arm

(48:39):
fighting each other. Alright, cool.
Not bad Jared, not bad. It not bad.
This is not a this is not bad for you.
This is pretty good for you Jared, because you know, 10
questions you need 7 points to win.
I believe you have eight points,123-4567 on the dot, actually 7

(49:02):
on the .6 regular question points and one bonus point from
the RE0. Great job you won this one.
You came out on top big guy. Alright, you know your anime
scenes. I don't need to be commented on
my weight right now. So calling me big guy is not a

(49:26):
good thing. But yes, I do no some of my
anime scenes even with the animeI don't watch.
So yeah, I did do a good job andactually I just want to make a
known that I did not get 6 points and I get 7 points.
I got all 20 points because I know everything about everything

(49:47):
and no matter what you say for the score, I am the ultimate
winner and I know everything so.Well, it's already been recorded
in the book of Black Geek EnergyGames, so we'll just look at
that. We can always take commitments,
but we are talking today about the the winter season.

(50:09):
No, the fall, no, the spring, the spring season, spring
season, spring 20, spring 2023, spring 2025 seats that's already
in session. But first, before I start that,
let's go ahead and do a quick recap of what we said last time
that we were going to watch. This is the name of this so solo

(50:31):
leveling. I loved it.
Loved it. We loved amazing, amazing.
One of my coworkers like, oh, I don't like solo level like that.
And I was like you, sick. Yeah, you should.
You should have slapped them. Should have slapped them
immediately. Ubell Black just watched the
first episode. I don't, I don't know what's
going on. It's OK, I watched the first

(50:51):
couple. It was OK, I'll come back to it,
but it's just going to be one ofthose like I, I watch in some
downtime and I just like watch it all.
Blue exorcist good loved it a story.
It's and it's getting back to like what I originally loved
about Blue Exorcist, which is like figuring out what's going

(51:12):
on with these brothers who are both the sons of Satan.
One of the older brother just got his powers unlocked and he
switched to the bad side. Great season, full of surprises.
Loved it. OK, fate stayed nights fates,
fate strange night. Fate Strange Night didn't watch

(51:33):
it. They didn't watch it.
I maybe. Tried to watch the first
episode, fell asleep and never gave it another shot.
I may be a Guild receptionist, but I'll I'll I'll solo any boss
to clock out on time. She saw the first episode, it
wasn't that great. Damn.

(51:54):
Hey, they liked it though. I, I, I thought that that one
would be like the Osan, the Osanadventure that we watched.
It wasn't. It wasn't that good.
Wasn't that good? Yeah, 'cause the Osan adventure
wasn't like peak anime. It wasn't like a a AAA anime.
Yeah, but I liked it. Yeah, but it was definitely fun

(52:15):
to watch. Damn.
Sakamoto days I liked. It.
I liked it too. I haven't finished it, but
enjoyable, yeah. That's enjoyable, yeah.
Far Magica, how was that? I watched the first few episodes
and it gave like, it gave like Monster Rancher.

(52:39):
I'm trying to think of another animator compared to, but it
didn't give me what I was looking for.
But it, it has potential. I imagine it, it might be one of
those that like I I just binged the whole thing in some downtime
at a later date over a weekend. But yeah, to watch week to week.

(52:59):
Nah, it wasn't it. Ashura.
Oh, amazing. Loved Ashura, introduced so many
new characters, were winding up to like the big tournament of
heroes that they're about to have.
You started watching Aisha, didn't you?
Nope. Oh.
You kept saying so I just never got around to.
It Oh, that's fair. No problem.

(53:22):
Red Ranger in another world. I fell off.
I fell off this. I watched a few episodes as it
was coming out and I I think I just watched the first two, the
first two weeks of it and I was like, I was like, I don't want
to finish this. Yeah, I don't.
It's not. I didn't start it.
I was just like it was on my list but I was like this is

(53:43):
stupid. It was and it and it was, and it
was stupid and it was too. It was 'cause I hate to say it
was stupid as a reason to why I didn't watch it, 'cause I
watched plenty of stupid anime. I watched plenty of anime.
It's like, yo, this is ridiculous and I wanna I wanna
give a better review, but. Wow.

(54:04):
It wasn't, it just didn't hold my attention.
It it was, it was, it was too ridiculous for me to take it
seriously, and I think I like myanime with a little bit of
seriousness. Promise of a wizard.
Promise of a wizard I got to see.
I remember that one. Looks like I think I only

(54:29):
watched the first episode. I watched the first episode and
I could not tell you what happened.
It is not memorable. Shangri.
LA Frontier amazing anime. I put one of my coworkers onto
this one and they said they alsoloved it and they.
Put me onto it so. Yeah, and it was a great follow
up to solo leveling. I wouldn't say all that.

(54:50):
Yeah, yeah, 'cause they had finished solo leveling, they was
looking for something else to watch.
And I told him Shingle Our Frontier.
And he's like, oh, I'm loving it.
And I was like, oh, I was like, how are you?
Just like in the middle of season 3, I was like, or they
said it was like halfway throughseason 2 or almost done with
season 2. And I was like, yo, that's so
much. Solo Leveling is such a short.
I mean, there's so much. Well, we were a lot frontier.

(55:11):
Yeah, there's, there's so much Shingle Our Frontier in such a
short amount of time. I'm proud of you.
But yeah. So last time I talked to you,
you weren't watching the currentseason that just ended?
I'm I'm finished. You're.
Finished so so you're all the way done with the.
Part of both Shangri-La Frontier.
Shangri-La Frontier is really, really, really, really, really

(55:31):
good. It's really good.
I cannot say enough about it. And finally, Re 0, something
else that I was watching, it's not as good.
It's not as good. He's only died once at the
beginning and I'm like, why is this called RE0?
If he's not re zeroing, he needsto re zero.

(55:53):
And he's actually going up against all of these.
Like he's kind of his like pride, greed, all all, all of.
These witches or like. Yeah, the other witches and he
isn't dying. I'm like, what?
Why is he dying? Does he have like, does he have
like some, some Big Magic powers?
No, no, he's so he's like a regular dude.

(56:15):
Like now he got some little powers but he barely uses them.
Like what's the point of RE0 if he's not going to RE 0?
Yeah, because I like, I'd like you, Jerry.
I did like the first season of the show and like, a big part of
the appeal is like, he's dying to like, figure this stuff out,
to figure out how exactly. Exactly.

(56:36):
It didn't. In the second season.
He was dying so much, he was going insane.
Now he's not dying. So it's like, what's the what's
the point? Yeah.
And is it like he's become like,afraid of dying and he's like,
avoiding danger? No, he's not avoiding danger.
He's going into these battles. You see, I feel like they've

(56:57):
taken away the, the, the dilemmafor him.
They've taken away the, you know, the conflict of this
story. They have.
They have. Yeah.
Alright, so let's go move on to the Spring 2025 season.
I got 12345678910 anime, the longest you've.

(57:19):
Ever. Been.
I know it's. The longest show this has ever
been. There's so many anime.
Not playing watch. I am currently watching.
I am currently watching So you like 4 episodes deep in all
these? Yes, yes.
Well I haven't watched yesterday's episode but the only
thing I haven't watched is yesterday's episode but there

(57:41):
Wayne to be watching. You, you balls deep in the Santa
Bay, bro. Yeah.
Probably, yeah, 'cause I, I usually watch all the enemy, I
say. But you're the one that you say
I want to watch this, I want to watch that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fake.
Is that's fake anyway because I just.
See things they have potential in like as the season goes on,
it's like, oh, didn't have as much potential as I thought.

(58:02):
OK, so first Saturday on my list.
You gotta go ahead and get out the way.
Lazarus, which is a Cartoon Network anime, it's by the same.
Yeah, it's on HBO Max by Mapa. So you already know the action
is good. What happens is there's great

(58:23):
scientists made this great drug and you know, isn't addictive,
but it really stops people's pain and helps them heal.
So he comes back a while later. He says, actually in 30 days,
the first people who took this drug are going to die.

(58:45):
I put a little little timer in there and the only way that you
can stop this from happening is you got to find me.
So now is the government, they got a crack team of people and
they are trying to locate this doctor.
So that's people don't start dying.

(59:06):
It's really good. The action scenes are amazing.
That first scene where he's breaking out of the prison is
like, Oh my God. Yeah, it was.
It's really, really good. Are you watching Lazarus?
Absolutely. 3 episodes deep in Lazarus.
The episode just came out today.Yesterday, yeah.

(59:28):
And I was looking for some new animated watch today.
I'm going to watch the new episode of Lazarus.
Yeah, yeah. So I'll do one of you new ones.
So it's your time. OK great, I'm going to do the
episode I just watched today before the, excuse me before the
plot started. Fire Force is back with season
3. Are you watching this one,

(59:49):
Jared? Yeah.
Yeah. What are you thinking?
How are you feeling about it? How do I feel about it?
It looks good, I remember likingit.
I don't know what they're doing in this show, I forgot.
I think, I think they're gettingback to it with this season.
I think last season was hella slow and hella weird.
This season they they, they in it, they with the shit.

(01:00:11):
I forgot what they did last season.
I don't. Know.
I I don't know what's going. They didn't have a good, they
didn't have a good recap. They didn't have a good recap.
Yeah, so I'm like, I would have to go back to understand what's
going on. I remember I like it.
So I don't mind going back, but I've kind of and slowing down on
Fire Force because I don't know how they got here.

(01:00:33):
So fire Force is about this world where people like,
spontaneously combust and just burst into flame and die or turn
into demons. And they're all of these like
firefighters who are called the fire force.
And their job is to put out fires but also stop these demons
when they arise. And people spontaneously
combust. It's their job to put them down

(01:00:55):
to make sure people don't get hurt.
They figure out in season 1 thatI think they figured out in
season 1 that someone is doing this to people on purpose, that
there's an organization that is making people spontaneously
combust that is changing people into these demons.
Then they figure in season 2, they figure out that they're

(01:01:16):
changing people into, into thesefire demons on purpose because
they're looking for like these special people who have these
special connections to their fire God.
And they're trying to, they're trying to, the evil organization
is trying to like bring God intothe world or something like
that. And they need these people who

(01:01:38):
have these, the special connections with God to turn
into like when you, if you, I guess if, I guess if you have
special connection with God, youcan like control fire in some
kind of way so that they can open the portal to and bring God
into the world. That's what I'm that's as much
as I got so far and I'm trying to put what he's giving you, but

(01:01:59):
that one is a great show and I love.
It it is OK next show is a is a Astro Ammonade that came out in
spring 2025 that I've actually seen every episode of.
It's called Devil May Cry Netflix.
I've seen all of that as well, OK.
OK, OK, so so how'd you like it,Devil?

(01:02:21):
May cry is good. It was good, yeah, man, I like,
I've I, I've played the Devil May Cry games and while it
didn't feel like the original Devil May Cry trilogy, it did
feel like the remake a little bit.
I think it felt more closer to that, like more light hearted.

(01:02:41):
But I guess both of them always had like a light hearted element
about it. But definitely fun to watch and
definitely I think more approachable for a wider
audience than the games are. Yeah, I, I loved it.
I wasn't expecting to like this so much.
I said, let me just put this in the background.
And I was like, in it like, yeah, there were, there were a

(01:03:03):
lot of black people in it. So that's not what.
And I, I haven't played the Devil May Cry games, you know?
Yeah. So I don't have that familiarity
with it, but I really like this show and I don't know.
I was, I was very happy. When it was short though.

(01:03:23):
It was, it was really short and it went by really fast.
But how many of them they gave us?
They gave us like 6 episodes. 88OK, but I think they gave them
to us all at once, huh? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and we shit tore them shits up.
Yeah, yeah. I finished that before I went to
Coachella. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, Devil make problems really good.

(01:03:43):
Then I forgot all about that onebecause I finished it so fast.
Damn, Jerry. All right, this is when I have
not started watching yet. Oh, no.
But I I know I'm going to like it.
Windbreaker. I think I the season 2.
Yeah, Season 2 of Windbreaker. It came out.

(01:04:04):
This one came out a few seasons ago, I think, like last year,
maybe like last summer or last spring.
And I remember putting you onto it and you really enjoyed it.
No, I didn't. You didn't enjoy, you didn't
like me, you didn't watch Windbreaker.
No. Oh, OK.
I thought you did. I thought you did.
I thought this was one of the ones I told you was like, hey,
check it out. Jared is pretty good and you
checked it out and he's like, oh, I don't like it because it's

(01:04:27):
not. It's a lot of it's about this
this high school that pretty much where all these delinquents
end up going because, you know, it's like like cream high school
in Atlanta. You know what I'm saying?
You get kicked out of your regular high school.
You going to cream and the the delinquents at this high school
make a deal or have this like relationship with the town that

(01:04:48):
the high school is in, where they protect the town from other
delinquents that like try to they are like in gangs or
whatever that try to move in andlike take over.
So yeah, the first season they were all about this the the
first season, this new kid is coming to the high school and he
says he's like, oh, I'm going tobe the top.
And so he's being, he's going to, his plan is like beat up

(01:05:10):
everybody in the high school, but they accept him and they end
up having to just like, beat up these other guys who try to move
on the town. Yeah.
But it's, it's it's good. It's like very coming of age,
very, you know, working through my anger and trauma, learning
how to be friends and, you know,care about people kind of anime,

(01:05:33):
but still a lot of like fightingin action.
Not a bunch of magic and superpowers and stuff like that,
but still a very good anime. That's why I didn't watch it
because it doesn't have any magic meaning.
But yeah, you're confusing with your little coworker 'cause I
didn't start watching Windbreaker.
I thought you did, My bad. My bad bro.
Alright, the next thing I want to watch is not actually anime

(01:05:58):
but it's from that area. It is.
And I say it's not anime cause not Japanese but but it's a
Chinese anime. I've said most of times on the
show only like Chinese anime is there.
They don't like gay people over there.
There it just sounds weird 'cause I'm used to the Japanese

(01:06:21):
language and Chinese language sodifferent.
But I am liking and really enjoying this new Chinese anime
called Super Cube. What It is super cute, yes.
What it is Where? Where are you Over?
Never mind you, you're watching it illegally.
Prom. Super Cute is one of those shows

(01:06:41):
where it it feels like you know the main.
People watch no prime. OK, bet.
Oh, OK, it's on prime. OK, I actually have prom, but
soon. He was one of those shows where
it's like the manga that I watched.
I mean, the Mangua that I like where you know, like Bill Game
and they level up and stuff. This guy is getting beat up.

(01:07:05):
He is thrown into a river and inthe river he finds this cube
that gives him superpowers and he goes into the cube.
He can then teleport places. He's growing in strength, he's
growing in powers. And there's somebody else who
has like it, Max level super cube, I guess.

(01:07:25):
And he's like flying around, shooting laser beams out of his
face and stuff. And yeah, it's really, really
good how he's fighting these different people.
He just went up this apartment building.
I like the raid, which I've saidon this show most of times.
I said most times the market youneed to watch.

(01:07:47):
Have you watched it yet? Watched what?
The raid OK, OK. It doesn't look like super cube
is on. I'm looking for it on prime.
It doesn't say it's on here. Hold on.
I have anyway, he went up this apartment building like they did
in the raid, fighting increasingly difficult, more

(01:08:09):
evil people. And that was really, really
good. It was it's really good.
I'm really, really, really enjoying Super Cleave and it's I
will tell you now, spoiler alert, it's a nominee for the
2025 Jordan Awards for Best anime.
Already. Already already.

(01:08:32):
Here we go. Think I don't?
Oh, I gotta. So this is the one I gotta watch
him legally. Damn.
Ain't got no problem with that shit.
They gonna make turn me to the older markets.
That's fine. OK, So what else are you
watching? Alright, alright, alright.

(01:08:55):
Excuse me, I am watching Tiagonia.
Tiagonia. Tiagonia So humans fight to
protect their land from invadingDemi human tribes and relentless
battle. So this is about this kid who

(01:09:19):
like it's just like a regular soldier in the army or like the
militia of this village. And their main thing is just
like, like they said, protectingtheir, their village like
demons. Every so often they're like
special people who like have these divine signets or these
divine tattoos that give them like extra power.
And so the, the, the kid that were the main, the main

(01:09:43):
character, he has memories from another world of like things
that don't exist in the world that he lives in.
So like molecules, like the study of atoms, the study of
like sales magic and like what that is.
So he has all these concepts in his head that the people don't
know what they are. And it's not completely unheard

(01:10:04):
of, but usually when people, when people have these memories
and they talk about and they think everyone else just thinks
they're crazy and they just avoid them.
So he's been keeping it to himself.
But like, he's discovering that he has the ability to use magic
and that how he thinks about hisworld will affect the kind of
magic that he can use. At the same time, he's becoming

(01:10:26):
more powerful and getting a lot more recognition in his army.
So he's starting to move up in the world.
And so he's trying to figure outhow to, you know, balance
getting, gaining more power and protecting his village while
also, you know, keeping his secret.

(01:10:48):
That sounds really good. It is good, it is good.
I enjoy it. OK, I gotta look into that one,
OK. Tiagonia TELDONIA.
Yep. Tiagonia.
Gotta look into that one. OK, the next one I'm watching is
the beginning after the end. You may Oh, I.
Got that one on my list too. I haven't started watching it

(01:11:09):
yet. OK.
Well, you you may remember this.I've been raving about this one
since I watched the manga was actually I think it actually won
best manga 2024. Really.
Because you don't be paying attention during the Giardo
Awards. I do pay attention.
OK, well, it won best mega I think for 2024.

(01:11:34):
But yeah, this is really good. It's just like the manga, just
like the manga. They are, they're taking some
liberties to, you know, 'cause it's different mediums.
They're going through it kind ofquickly, so they are missing
some parts. But it's really good.
I'm enjoying it and our manga reader, there are a lot of
people online who are not enjoying it.

(01:11:54):
Oh, I have started watching thisone.
I've seen all four episodes. I'm sorry.
Yeah. This is good.
Yeah. But but like the things online
is that it's not good. They don't like it is the worst
show 1425. I love it.
I'm loving it. It's doing everything I needed
to do so yeah the beginning of the day and and and I they could

(01:12:17):
tell you this place. He'll probably, you know, be at
one of the main points of conflict in the season.
And as I said with the the a manga this show rivals what's it

(01:12:38):
called? What's it called in English?
Jobless Reincarnation. Jobless.
Reincarnation. Jobless.
You knew what I was talking about.
I did, I did, but I'd usually make sure.
What's it called in English? No.
Yeah, jobless reincarnation and but it rivals that one, but the

(01:13:03):
IT gets a lot more dirty, it gets a lot more real, it gets a
lot more exciting. Then Job was Reincarnation.
So this is my one. I was like, I can't wait for
this enemy to come out because it's burning.
The first three seasons of Job was Reincarnation.
I don't know what that last season was.
Well, the last season is good. The season before that, but

(01:13:25):
yeah, the beginning after the end.
I think, I think we're starting to see this trope a lot where
like they take someone really powerful and stick them in like
a weak body and they have to andwe have to like watch them gain
power all over again. And that's always happened in
anime. Yeah, but I mean, I feel like
we're starting to see that tropea lot more now where we we

(01:13:48):
weren't seeing that before. It's it's so it's, I think it's
like a very niche like Isakai, like where before we were just
seeing like Isaka, like, oh, you're in another world.
Now we're seeing a lot of like, OK, you're in another world, in
a different body, and this body is a baby.
OK, Yeah. I mean, that's what happened
with Vending Machine, which is coming back, which is coming

(01:14:12):
back next season. Are you going to watch Vending
Machine next season? No, I didn't watch my.
God is so good. But Jared, my next one is 1.
I can't believe you haven't saidyet, My Hero Academia
vigilantes. I mean then why 'cause I got a
hold list? You do have a hold list.

(01:14:33):
So I'm checking this stuff off as I go along.
OK, but Vigilantes is good. It's giving me like My Hero
Academia season 1 vibes and I'm tingling.
I'm tingling, Jared. It's I love it so much.
I like to know my girl. She's like, oh, it's OK.
I didn't really like doing that much.
And I'm like, man, get out. Yeah, My Hero Academia is is

(01:14:56):
doing that same thing for me. I'm not tingling, but I'm like,
really sorry. I'm really happy.
I love the new characters, love Pop step.
I love the cameo with Eraser butI'm I'm just waiting because I
know somewhere over the horizon of this intro is the part I'm
waiting to see, which is the battle between the normal

(01:15:18):
looking people with powers and the not.
So I'm waiting on that. They said they were.
They said this is what this is about.
OK, I'm so excited for that too,because that's going to be so
dumb. Yeah.
And I think we already saw, if you've been watching the first
few episodes, we already saw like a little bit of that when
the guy who can turn into a eel was after pop step and she and

(01:15:41):
he was like, oh, I just want a handshake.
And then she gave a handshake and he was like.
I want one. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, can't wait for that to
happen in my Hero Academic vigilante.
Now I know that in it's called my hero.
It's called something else in Japanese.

(01:16:02):
My Hero Academic Illegals my. Illegal.
Yeah, Yeah. So now you're giving vigilance
in My Hero Academic. Illegals is really good.
Yeah, he just like a fun little anime of people with not so fun
powers or powerless. You will like this one.
Yeah, because like his power, hekeeps saying like, oh, my power,

(01:16:24):
I could never have been here. I'm like, yo, like had you got
into the hero course, they wouldhave trained the fuck out.
That power you would have been slick.
Yeah, you could have been, but. You could have been, you could
have been a great hero because. It's already like upgraded where
he can climb up walls now so. Yeah, I I think this is like the
base power, he said. He can go up walls like as long
as he. Had.
Oh, he said that before. Yeah, as long as he has three

(01:16:44):
points of contact on anything, he can slide around it.
So he can like touch you with his like with two fingers and a
knee and just like slide around your body.
They could have upgraded that hero Academy.
I don't know what he. Yeah, they would have seen.
They would have had your ass dragon boulders.
They would have been fast. OK, so yeah, next I want to talk
about Sword of the Demon Hunter.Are you watching?

(01:17:08):
This the Lord of the Demon Hunter?
I don't think I've heard of thisone.
OK so this is an anime that was supposed to be released two
seasons ago in the fall. It is about this Demon Hunter
who gets. What is it on?
Is it on crunchy? Look, you keep asking me what's
going on and you know how to watch anything, so sort of the

(01:17:30):
diva my. Bad bro, my bad.
What? Are the diva after is about this
guy who in like 18 something something is a demon fighter.
He's fighting demons and I don'tknow what happened but the first
episode details it is first episodes hour long so it's like
3 episodes in one. Is it is the Japanese name Kijin

(01:17:53):
Gintosham? I don't.
Know you know, I don't know these Japanese.
Names. Are we trying to watch this
anime with you bro? It's so interesting.
I can tell you, Sword of the Demon Hunter, so interesting.
So as we out last, I mean two seasons goes out now.
So and like the first episode was like an hour long.

(01:18:13):
It's about like, I don't know, his sister was a demon and his
sister did something and then everybody's against.
Well something happened where he's now against his sister and
the love of his life died. But The thing is he was
implanted with some demon cells or demon arms.

(01:18:34):
So now he's like an immortal. So it's him going throughout
time and like they mentioned 103years or 120 years.
He's going throughout time, fighting demons throughout time
and trying to make it up to whenhis sister sins again.
So I don't know. It's really good.

(01:18:55):
The action is really good, even though there has to be a lot of
action these past episodes. So but actually good.
But the white line is really good.
The the. Action hasn't been that good in
these past two episodes. Yeah, 'cause there hasn't been,
there's been a lot of action like in the first episode, but
the the first episode, it was bloody.

(01:19:16):
It was, it was dark because, youknow, alright, very, very dark.
The first episode was very dark.So that's any precursor to
what's coming up later with thisdark show then I am excited.
I'm here for. But, you know, the other
episodes have been really good as well.

(01:19:36):
So yeah. So what of the Demon Hunter?
Alright So what are the demon hunters on high dive y'all if
you have if you have that. I don't know anyone who has
freaking high dive but yeah. I don't.
Know no monopolies are bad but also like having to have

(01:19:57):
different streaming services foreverything is also bad.
So what else are you watching? All right, And then we get
inside my lower stakes stuff. Now I have Guilty Gear on my
list and I've seen the 1st 2 episodes of Guilty Gear.
The only reason I started watching this one is because I

(01:20:19):
was a fan of a guilty gear game a while back and it's OK so far.
Like it's about this kid who so in this world there are humans
and there are like demons or something.
You know a long time ago there was this big war where people
created these like demons to help them fight in the war.

(01:20:40):
The war ended, the demons went out of control.
Now they have to fight the demons.
So a human and a demon fell in love and got married and got
together and had a baby. And I think that's like part of
the original plot of like the original Guilty Gear plot.
And now this Guilty Gear Strive dual rule was it's about the son

(01:21:03):
of that couple who got together because that couple was
attacked. They got frozen in ice or
something like that. And so now the main character
and this other guy named Saul, bad guy who y'all might remember
from the Guilty Care series, they're like running around.
He's running around trying to keep the kids safe and figure
out how to get the Kingdom back.It's a lot of like powers and

(01:21:24):
magic and stuff like that. So here you might like it.
Yeah, I might like it. It is is is a lot of action.
Yeah, a lot of action. A lot of action.
Yeah, I'll check it out. I'll check it out.
This one is probably on my lowertiers.
I might let this one go, but it's called your former.

(01:21:45):
Your former What is that about? So it's about this really,
really smart detective in her robot companion.
They are investigating a murder where somebody where, you know,
the robots have the three laws and when the robots does
something and outside the law sohe's not supposed to do, it's

(01:22:05):
about their investigation. It's pretty good if you like
those shows. Like what's The One Show that
they could see the I forgot The One Show.
Is it Parasite Eve or Ghost in the Shell or anyway, it's good

(01:22:26):
if you like shows like this. It's not like the action.
It's kind of slow and it's a mystery type of thing, but I'm
thinking I may like this though.I'm gonna watch this last
episode and then I may let this one go.
Alright, we gotta wrap this up soon.
Jerry, we hit about there. Oh no, we just hit an hour and a
half mark. But we still gotta wrap this up

(01:22:48):
soon. We hit an hour and a half mark.
Alright, I'm gonna, I'm gonna got two more.
I'm gonna give the last ones on my list that I haven't started
watching that it might get dropped, and I'm just gonna name
them. We got Witch watch.
We got the unaware Atelier Maester, we got Compass 2 point
O and the brilliant healers New life in the shadows.

(01:23:09):
Those are the last four anime that I'm going to give a shot
this anime season. The brilliant killers.
New life in the. Shadows OK, so he's at Witch
Watch because I have to write this down so that we can.
Turn it out. If you actually watch it.

(01:23:31):
Yeah, the unaware of Tellier Maester and Compass 2 point O.
OK alright so another show that I'm watching is to be Hero X.

(01:23:52):
Now granted I know I said I'm watching everything, I haven't
been watching this way as much 'cause when I looked it was only
first episode, but I have audio episodes downloaded.
This is a anime series where they delve into different types
of anime styles. Allah Spider Man, the spider man

(01:24:14):
cartoon that was just released. But apparently in this world,
heroes are outsourced by companies and and the hero dies
by suicide and the person who finds him is his low level, you

(01:24:35):
know, website guy. And then they say, well, you
look like the hero, why don't you just do it?
And yeah, it looks really, really good, and especially good
how they are animating and doingall this stuff with it.
I cannot wait to watch the othertwo.
I'm so it's just that with this silly job I do not have the time
to yet, but. To be hero.

(01:24:56):
X to be hero X and and is another Chinese one, yeah.
Interesting. Look at you, Jerry.
I know, I know. More Asian by the day.
I know. And the last one.
The last animate. Why you look at me like that?

(01:25:18):
Go ahead. The last ever I want to share
like is called Kowloon Generic romance.
What? Yes.
What is this? This is 1.
I make sure I watch every week. This is so something is
happening. It's another mystery.
There's no action in it, but something weird is going on

(01:25:42):
because this girl does not remember having a romance with
this guy who is her new coworker.
But the guy is remembering her and there's this floating
pyramid diamond thing in the skythat's really weird that they

(01:26:02):
haven't talked about yet and is showing little I I know that the
previews for the TV show for theanime was showing some flash
forwards or splash sideways intoanother world where like
everything was broken and destitute.
So I am very sad. Oh, and there's this gay man

(01:26:23):
who's a makeup artist and kissing everybody, so I'm.
Really confused. You got everything you love.
You got everything I love and all the things I want in it.
So I'm really confused. I'm really, really am excited
guided for Kowloon generic romance.
But the creator said that that they would like for this to be

(01:26:46):
watched alongside their live action movie, which comes out in
August. And there you have it, our picks
for the 2025 anime. Nice.
We got a lot of stuff to watch. This is Jared.
I thought that I was thinking about this and I was telling my

(01:27:08):
girl about this. This anime season is sizing up
to be a fucking banger. Like everything is good.
Like everything I've watched so far has been like, great.
Yeah. Like even even like guilty year
I've watched a episode or a couple episodes of and it hasn't
been like as amazing as someone like the AAA anime, but it's it

(01:27:29):
was still pretty good, still held its own.
And this is what I've been missing the past like 2-3
seasons. We've been like, oh, anime is
not hitting like it used. To getting.
One or two good anime out of a season.
This talking about everything isgood.
Everything is standing on its own 2 feet.
Man, this is going to be a greatseason.
I'm so excited. Like I'm talking about sports.

(01:27:55):
Yeah, so DeMarcus, unfortunatelymy phone has been downstairs
since I was on. So do we have a question today?
Oh, I do have a question for younow.
I don't know who sent it though,'cause I don't have my phone.
But their question was, you know, hey Jared, I love the

(01:28:15):
show, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And he was like, I wonder if along the lines of your
shapeshifter question to the markets that you did a while
ago, can you ask him another question concerning 3 mutants?
And those mutants are well, his question is, can you tell me the

(01:28:39):
difference between Cable, Nate Gray and Strife?
Cable, Nate Gray and Strife Mysterious question asker.
I absolutely cannot. I can tell you Cable is the.

(01:29:01):
Isn't Cable's name Nathaniel? No, his name is Nathaniel
Summers. Which is Nate Gray, I mean.
I mean, yeah. OK, you know Nate, Nate Gray is
cable. If Cyclops was a deadbeat dad, I
guess I don't know. I don't know.
I'm asking questions here 'causeI don't know.
I don't know there is between these people.

(01:29:22):
Wow. I've heard of strife.
So. So do you know that these are
three different people? I I assume they're three
different people because of the way the question is posed, Yeah.
So Cable is the son of Scott Summers and Madeline Gray.
Like Madeline. Madeline Pryor.

(01:29:45):
Darwin Queen. And they got married and had
cable. And had cable yes.
OK, so that's the main universe cable.
Nate Gray is an alternative mention of alternative mention
son of Scott Summers and Jean Grey when they had their child

(01:30:10):
and strife is the genetic manipulation of the of Scott
Summers and Jean Grey in the ageof apocalypse.
So so yeah, of course with Nate he's had he's like the most

(01:30:33):
powerful. He has like Jesus level power
