(00:00):
You know, you, you guys, I, I have a question.
Go on, go on. What?
What is your favorite desserts? Wow.
Chocolate chip, you know, before, before you even finished
your sentence, I was going to cut you off and just say cookies
and cream for no reason, and then it turned out to be
relevant to your question. Wow.

(00:21):
OK, fantastic, fantastic. Is that it?
That's it. OK, yeah, I mean, I, you know, I
honestly watching this arc and and, and watching this moment in
time, if you will, you know, with one Piece, you know, it's a
very it's a very tactile show. It it it's always changing or
duck dial. I'm sorry, duck dial show.
And you know, this, this whole bit where Big Mom always wants

(00:42):
her fucking wedding cake and stuff like that, like hunger
pangs and all that, You know, it's got me thinking, what is my
favorite dessert? Because I, I, I don't know if
I'm about to make enemies. I think Cake is pretty mid.
It's not. It's not the best thing out

(01:03):
there. I agree.
Unless we're talking cheesecake.Cheesecake is superior to a
regular cake. Honestly I've got this is my
next hot take. I think if I have to choose
between the two, there was a time where I'm like, cheesecake
fucking clears it. Nowadays, Yeah, I don't know,
man. I think.
I think a moist good ass cake might clear the average cream

(01:25):
cream cheesecake. I'm going to.
Sure, you're talking about, you're talking about the best
version of cake versus the average version of cheesecake.
Of course it's. Honestly, of course it's all
Cheesecakes lie within a 6 to 8 range.
Cakes lie within a 2 to 10 range.
So what I'm saying is you will. Never clear that 8.

(01:48):
That eight rank barrier with a cheesecake, it, it just won't
happen. It'll always be like, MMM, it's
good, but like it's a little toocreamy.
It's got a little too much fucking, you know, cheesiness
too blah blah. Like you can make a good cake
and it will be objectively meaned higher than the average
cake, but it'll never clear thateight point barrier.

(02:09):
You can clear the 8 point barrier with a regular cake.
That's my hot take. Is cake mid I?
I think cake is mid. See, here's my thing, sponge
cake or like the the base of a cake is always good to me.
It's what you accessorize it with that affects my value
rating. Like I'm not the biggest fan of

(02:30):
frosting, generally speaking. And then you know what?
Whatever, whatever, whatever other alternatives there are out
there. I'm also like a pretty simple
guy. It's like, yo, just give me
sponge cake and like a chocolatefudge icing or what have you and
all I'm going to do is throw it in the microwave so it can melt
and I'm I'm in heaven, bro. So like so.
So you're So what was the answerto to my question?

(02:51):
The original. I wasn't sure but I think I I I
I don't want to agree with you because saying cake is mid feels
kind of bad, but I think it's mostly true.
OK, so like again, what was yourfavorite dessert then?
Oh, I said it in the before anyone had a debate, it was
chocolate chip cookie. Oh, chocolate chip.
Oh, chocolate chip cookie. Really.
That that that's, isn't that just like another like like

(03:14):
conduit of cake? I don't know.
I don't know. I don't.
Know what that statement's supposed to make?
I I think base cake is a lot different than chocolate of the.
Exact same thing. It's just, it's all the same
shit. It's flour, eggs and butter.
It's all the same. You want to boil it down to just
ingredients. No, that, no, you know my
favorite fucking dessert is ice cream, which just has nothing to
do with any of these things. It's but milk and milk and cream

(03:37):
there but. It has eggs and sugar and, well,
it doesn't. It doesn't have eggs in it.
I don't know what you're talkingabout.
What the fuck are you talking about, sugar?
It doesn't have. You have.
Eggs. My man just claimed that but ice
cream had eggs in it. What the fuck is that?
What frozen tree has eggs that custard or like frozen custard?
I don't know, but you you can definitely you can make ice
cream. Make ice cream with with heavy

(03:58):
milk and whip the shit out of itand then throw it in a throw it
in the freezer. There's something out there,
man. They're not heavy whipping
cream. Cookies and cake are not the
same thing. They have probably 99% of the
same ingredients. There has to be some difference.
If I have to guess, it's either like baking soda, baking powder.
There's literally no flour, there's no yeast, there's no
well, I guess you could throw chocolate and if you really

(04:18):
wanted to, but ice cream is a very separate dessert item to
any flour based. No, no, I'm talking about I'm
going back cake for. Cookies.
All I'm saying is I think cake and cookies are like basically
the same thing but. They're not because you can.
They are texturally so differenttexture largely if you if you
ate a cookie and ate a piece of cake, they're they would taste

(04:40):
different. They would feel different, not
taste, but they would definitelyfeel different.
You know, no, I'm sick to do it.They would taste different too.
OK, let me ask you a question. Is is is is a brownie the same
as a? Cake.
That is a hot take slash question I asked, but I think a
brownie is a lot closer to a cake than most people like to
admit. OK, and then what separates A
brownie from a cookie? Pretty sure you mentioned it.
So what's the base for brownie? Brownie requires flour.

(05:04):
You mix it with cacao powder? Yeah, butter.
What else? Go on, go on.
I made brownies like literally once from scratch and I don't
remember everything. Sure.
I want to say it's like that can't be all of it obviously,
but I'm going to say it's largely at 65.
Hour percent. Of the same.
Ingredients say that, but I my my point still stands.
It's all just like it's all justlike butter, egg, flour, sugar,

(05:26):
maybe Subs, maybe sub one or twoof those out for differ change.
But cookie recipe? Hold on, I'm about to.
A brother you're going to you'regoing to find, you're going to
find flour, baking soda, egg andbutter.
Yep. Uh huh.
Baby, baby, you won't. Find half that shit in ice cream

(05:47):
is all I'm saying. That's all I'm trying.
To get, you won't find. As much as they involve flour, a
baking soda, salt, sugar, a butter or oil, eggs and
flavoring cool great cake ingredients Kangaroos glue
flour, sugar, eggs, fat, liquid like milk or water and the food
flex putting water or milk anyway and the leavening I.
Don't feel like I'm pretty, I'm pretty straightly light light

(06:11):
laid it out before. Yeah, yeah, I think, I think
Christian kind of kind of covered all this.
OK, if they have the same ingredients, then why are they
so different? Because they are different.
They're not the same. They're they're.
Baked differently. Basically the same.
They're just baked. They have the same ingredients,
but they're baked and prepared differently.
That's what that's what what gives you and the ratios are
different. You know what?

(06:31):
No. OK, you know what?
I my big big dumb stupid brain forgot the word liquid
ingredient part of of milk. I mean God damn it.
And cake cake cake has liquid, has extra moisture there bam
bada boom bada being cake is just wet cookie dough.
You know I There you go. No.
No, no, you are in your first cake is wet cookie dough.

(06:51):
Cake is wet cookie dough. This is a fun segue though I I
promise, and I won't derails anyfurther after this.
I just. Have to let this go.
Is any of this going? I, I, I simply have to tell you
that this, that this happened one time.
I was at, and by one time, I mean like literally this past
week I was at work and this pastWednesday we had an ice cream
day, which I was like, I was like, oh shit, we got ice cream
in the building today. They're like, yeah, we got a

(07:12):
whole, a whole ice cream out. And I, I shit you not my my Co
worker, we were talking and we were just like shooting the
shit. And at some point in time he
mentioned melted ice cream is just wet butter.
And I haven't gotten that idea out of my head or or butter
water. That's what he said.
He said it was butter water, butter water.

(07:32):
I haven't stopped thinking aboutit ever since.
There's a couple. Of types of raw, there's.
A couple extra step, but he's out.
He's out of line, but he's he's not out of line.
But what's butter made out of? Huh.
What exactly? That's all.
That's what I'm saying. What's butter?
Butter. What's butter made out of?
It's cream. They would mix solid.

(07:54):
So I don't actually know. Hold on learning a lot about
baking and food science here today.
Anyway, so all this to say, ice cream clears cake and it this
arc would make a lot more sense if she craved some ice cream is
all I'm saying. So wait under the.
Summary. I'll take no, no, hold on.
I just got to add one more caveat.
Gelato clears ice cream and subsequently everything below

(08:16):
it. Go on.
Absolutely disagree. What is wrong with your gelatin?
Gelato, you idiot. Gelato, not gelatin.
What? The fuck is Gelato made out of?
That clears ice cream. It's just better dog.
I'm so sorry. You haven't, you haven't, you
haven't had it's it's, it's got a softer, creamier texture and

(08:37):
it doesn't have eggs in it because Justin seems to think
that ice cream has eggs. OK, OK, no, no, OK.
I didn't make this about nowhere.
Some I'll say so. Some people put eggs in their
ice cream mixture actually. Mainly, ice cream can be like
ice. Cream.
I I'm sure I guess. I'm look, I'm looking at a, a
ice cream versus Gelato and the big, the big ones are made with

(09:01):
heavy cream on ice cream versus milk on Gelato.
There's more fat in ice cream versus Gelato made with eggs on
ice cream versus Gelato. I I feel like not all ice cream
is made. That's not a universal rule, so.
Yeah, meanwhile, the last one isfluffy and creamy for ice cream
and dense and silky for Gelato. You know, OK, you know, I as a

(09:23):
as a non Gelato expert, I respect this, but otherwise it
just kind of seems like Gelato is the Italian word for ice
cream. So they feel the same to me.
I don't know. I don't know why we're we're
drawing a line to the same. I'm.
I'm just saying it's better. This is this.
That's all. That's all I'm saying.
But but at the end of the day itall becomes melted.
It's all, it's all, it's all water.
Yeah, it's all butter water anyway, so who who cares?

(09:45):
It all becomes butter water out the other day anyway.
You know, I think I think on to the summary that like what that
that that'll cause the discord to have a little bit of a little
bit of. Anarchy, people, People be
talking about this in two weeks.It'll be great.
Yeah, that's that's all we're I.Can't wait to be reminded of
this. Can't wait to be reminded of
this. The clash between Luffy and

(10:05):
Katakuri intensifies in the Mirror World as Luffy
concentrates on refining his KenBoon.
Shoku hockey. Why did you write it in
Japanese? What is the fucking matter with
you? Just call it just.
Call it to acknowledge I did notwrite any summaries for the rest
of this arc. This word.
How dare you put this in my summary.

(10:27):
Anyway, moving on determined. We say Yoko and he says what
does that mean? Well.
Yeah, that is stupid. You shouldn't say.
You should just say an emperor. Anyway, moving on past Ken
Bunshoku, Hockey determined to rise to the challenge of seeing
into the future like his formidable opponent.
Meanwhile, chaos erupts at sea. Pero Sparrow is stunned to learn

(10:47):
that the elusive wedding cake isaboard Veggie ship, but tensions
rise there too. Asanji refuses to let the cake
be poisoned, insisting it be delivered untainted.
On the battlefield, Carrot's Soolong transformation proves
instrumental as she decimates Daifuku's fleet, clearing a path
for the 1000 Sunny to escape. Brooks swoops in to bring her

(11:08):
safely back aboard, just in timefor the next wave of danger.
Big Mom, growing more desperate by the moment, summoned Zeus,
Prometheus, and Napoleon before launching herself on to the
Sunny, tearing through the ship in her search for the cake.
The Straw Hat scrambled to fend her off, with Jimbei managed
managing to temporarily drive her away, but the the threat

(11:28):
remains far from over as she rides Prometheus in a relentless
chase. Back in the mirror world once
more, Katakuris assault continues, but Luby's focus
deepens. Through the haze and exhaustion
of battle. He recalls Rayleigh's teachings
and with sheer willpower begins to glimpse fragments of the
future. A crucial step forward, finally

(11:50):
turning the tide. And Cut a Curry is beginning to
sweat because of it. We also didn't talk about that
part where Pero Sparrow realizedthat Big Mom absolutely
remembered when he fucking lied to her.
And he was like, oh. Hell, that was so she.
She was not supposed to rememberthis.
Oh fuck. I didn't think she would,

(12:12):
actually. I thought she was a fucking
lunatic right now. What happened?
Chad, I'm cooked. Chad, I'm cooked.
He looks, he looks at the camera.
He's like, be honest with me, Chad, am I cooked?
Everyone said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, absolutely. Yes, yes, there's there's a
random pet Pepe sad in there. Yeah, the Golden People makes

(12:36):
its appearance. Or Kappa going Kappa.
Excuse me? Golden Kappa.
Golden Kappa. That's crazy, dude.
The golden Kappa. What a what a poll.
Unrelated, today I learned that buttermilk isn't brother.
Well, I never knew what buttermilk truly was, but if you
had, if you just read the name, you'd be like oh it must be milk
with butter in it. Technically the opposite, but

(12:56):
through churning of milk to create butter by removing the
milk solids from the milk, what the liquid you're left with is
buttermilk. When in reality that's just
that's just milk minus the butter.
Very interesting. Get a load of this guy the the
the milk air researching buttermilk more after the 15
minute dessert. Conversation.

(13:17):
Part of my baking journey, right?
So that does. It become butter water though.
That's what I need to know. Probably after it becomes
buttermilk, right? Yeah, I think so, Yeah.
I don't. I don't know what makes milk
milk but like if. You remove.
Milk from the buttermilk. You just, you just keep
churning. That that bitch to Infinity.

(13:38):
You throw it in a centrifuge andthen just never ever let it stop
to settle. So anyway, Justin, how, how are
you doing this week? How have you enjoyed these last
these last few episodes? Man, be honest with me.
Did you watch only this week's episodes or did you actually
keep pace? You know, I, I watched some
things, plural things, as in plural, which is very important.

(14:00):
I did not watch a singular thing.
I watched too many things. OK, 222 things at least, you
know, like, like I watched episode 6.
Nope, we're in. That's not what.
Were you doing back then? Why?
Jesus started all the way at thebeginning. 863, Excuse me, I
watched episode 863, or at leastparts of it, and I watched parts

(14:23):
of 865. Do I know what happened in 864?
I brushed up on it. Wait, so you you came here, you
haven't even seen the episodes? I haven't watched One Piece in
quite some time, both current and for this podcast.
I am terrible. I agree.
And you told the listeners that as well.
That's that's fucked. Listen, I'm an honest man, all
right? I might run for my problems.

(14:44):
I'm like first, I'm just like. Episodes.
You didn't have two to three weeks to tell me.
Well, to be fair, you did ask him if he was keeping pace or
not, OK? Well, that's that is fair.
I did ask that. I guess I did.
He was. It sounds like he was going to
say it anyway, but my my problemis that he didn't keep pace in
the first place. Hold on, hold on.

(15:05):
I might. I might believe in the act of
omission, but I would never commit perjury.
By loving what we do here anymore.
That's a question for off the cast.
That feels condemning. That feels condemning.
Wow. Oh God.
You know what, listeners? I'm I'm, I'm going to say it.

(15:26):
If Justin stops showing up one day, you know why?
Fuck I, I had no idea and. And they were just maybe it's
the will of Jay. You know, the will of Jay
dictates that no man on this podcast with the name that
starts with the letter J can stay on it forever.
Jordy, He left eventually. Me.
Maybe it's my turn. Maybe it's coming.
Maybe, maybe, maybe that feelingthe will of the will of Jay is.

(15:47):
Generally will have room to bring Isaac back on I was.
Just going to say, well, what about Isaac that one time?
Does he, does he, is he includedin the will of Jay Or is he
like, I don't know, like if all you have to do is add like a
little happy face on the bottom of the eye and suddenly it's AJ.

(16:08):
What if? What if Isaac's middle name is
like Javier or like Jason or something?
Maybe. Maybe.
Yours. Is it yours?
Does it start with AJ? My name is Justin.
Hello. But you're talking about middle
names. I'm also my, well, not my middle
name, but in the Catholic Churchrealm, my name gives me during
shout out to the new Pope. I mean, don't know actual shout

(16:29):
out. I don't know anything about your
politics. But, you know, congratulations,
I guess. So like technically in the
Catholic Church, my full name is.
I'm not going to say that, so I don't ask myself online, Yeah.
Wow, I'm sure I was going to lethim do it and then be like, wow,
Dylan. Dylan.
But I I know Dylan didn't take abreak baby.

(16:51):
I got. You by the.
Way What's your What's your son's curity number?
Oh shit, what is my Social Security number?
This is great. I love it.
I don't I don't want I don't want to record the podcast
anymore. I just want to ask Justin
questions episodes. Do I know this is it?
You know, we haven't had one of these little ones.
This is spontaneous panda view. This is spontaneous panda view.

(17:14):
Where bro that is some modes as content and no one wants to
listen to me. Bro I mean it's happening right
now brother. What do you mean like God?
Bless as God intended, Clearly OK.
Yes, I. Missed the old panda view and by
the old I mean like the middle section because in the beginning
we started movies and anime and then and then for a couple weeks
we were like, let's just turn the mic on and then talk and

(17:37):
then move back to movies. So that middle part of Panda
views lifespan, that was the best.
Hey, you know, here's here's this crazy thing, you know, we
can still do that. You know, you just have to like
schedule that. Yeah.
You're. Going to schedule that in
between the the movie recordings.
I'm I'm I'm telling him if he wants to do that, he just needs
to schedule them. Bro.
I can't promise that I will be there, but.

(18:02):
You have the podcast commitment.Can you bump it up the two?
Can you fit that kind of qualityin your life?
Listen, don't make this about me.
I make this about you right now.I'm not saying I'm.
Going anywhere about you? Are you going?
To be my if you want it, fuckingreach for the stars, brother.
Fucking take it. But do you want it with me, man?
I listen, I I'm, I'm just here. I'm just on a boat.

(18:25):
And he doesn't even get, he doesn't even get out of bed to
put the talking points on this sheet anymore.
What makes you think he's going to organize band abuse?
What I'm saying band is easy, I just.
Turn the mic, turn my brain off and that is yap.
That's the easiest shit of my life.
All I'm saying is the van urns for the way it used to be and
then doesn't put in the minimum effort to get us to where we

(18:45):
used to be. That's the commentary I'm
trying. To make that's not all of the
minimum effort, you're missing one key crucial component.
I would also have to. Figure out how to edit it.
Yes, that is. That is probably correct.
And at that point, I'd say that's no, That is both the
minimum and maximum effort. Well, all it is if, if you want,
if you want to live in the heyday, then brother, you, you

(19:05):
know what you have to do. The keys are.
The keys are. Right, I'm going to go back to
our old episodes. Just loop them.
All 8 of them. I just got to relive the past,
that's all I was. Kidding.
Chocolate dipping sauce. The best episode.
Don't forget Frank Wedding. How old is that?
The title I love the most was Toxic Positivity.
That one that. One fucking is yeah bro.

(19:26):
I've been, I've been called toxically positive at a time on
a time or two. That sounds right, yeah.
That's a man with no. That's a man with all hope, no
cope. That's that's actually insulting
and I can't believe you just said that to me.
After all that, all that we've fucking been through, what is
the matter? I'm I'm sorry, the bait was
there. I had to grab it by the horns.

(19:48):
Grab it by the horns. What the fuck Everything ass
just. Say one piece, everybody. 20
minutes of content. You're welcome, by the way,
kids. Sure, you know who's not going
to be welcome? Fucking the guy who edits this.
Who wants us to cut this shit down to an hour and a half at a
time? We got an hour and 10.
We got this bro. Yeah, yeah, we got it.

(20:08):
You know, it was. So what happened this week,
boys? What happened this week?
I want to ask Justin because he doesn't actually know.
So, Christian, what happened this week?
Oh. You know, we got, we got some
glimpses of, of what's going on with Sanji and the, and the
cake. We got, we got a quick scene in
863 of, of Sanji giving us the old I'm a cook.

(20:29):
I cook for the people who want the cook and the baking too.
I do that and I feed people and I don't give them poison and
Veggie's like, what the fuck do you?
And then he gets a spoon shoved in his mouth and.
Can I, can I hold up before you get to this part?
Because I, I love this part too,but before you get to that part,
I'm like, I really like this interaction that Veggie's on.
He's like, we literally just tried to kill her.

(20:51):
Why would why would we not try to poison this now and then
Sanji's like. Which is right by the way which?
Is absolutely right and Sanji's like, do you have any idea what
it means to be an honorable chef?
And then Veggie's like, who are are you?
What is what is the matter with you?
We literally tried to murder herfour hours ago.

(21:12):
Listen, I I feel Sanji, I would not sully my integrity as a
Baker in training with assassination bro, all right?
So, so you're you're on Team Saji on this one.
Absolutely bro, it's for the people and for the soul.
Food is like the only good thingwe have left in this world that
I've refused to sully with assassination.

(21:32):
I'm OK with assassination. I'm just not OK with
assassination in my cake, all right?
OK, but but are you OK with wasting a cake by having a bunch
of copies of Luffy popping out of it and completely throwing it
to the ground? Well, if I think I know you're
talking about that cake wasn't cake like I thought it was.
That was like just construction material.
That was cake. Which then shoe sans turned.
Into cake. That was cake.

(21:53):
That was that was cake. That was a real He's talking
about the real wedding. The later cake.
Well, see, Saji didn't approve of that plan because no one
except Luffy knew that plan, allright?
Yeah, if Sanji was like a part of like the drafting period, he
would have been like, wait, wait, Luffy, are you are you
trying to waste food? He'd be like.

(22:13):
No, no, exactly. Eat it exactly he does.
To be fair, to be fair, a lot ofthem do like, you know, eat some
scraps off the ground like they're, they're not sad about
it either or not upset. You know, all right, I, I
appreciate you, Justin, for you know, and now, now I know where
your morals lie. You know, we can, we can murder
a woman whenever we want in broad daylight, but, you know,
just. Not in the kitchen, bro.

(22:34):
Just not in the kitchen. Not where they belong.
I'm just kidding. Fucking hell, dude.
Sorry, I don't know why my vibe went there.
I. Actually caught that.
Sexist. Brendan's back, everybody.
This is. This is not Brendan's back.
That's a low hanging fruit. We mentioned women in kitchen in
the same thought process. That's all I'm saying, right?

(22:56):
In here telling yourself so hard.
Listen, I'll, I'll, I'll fuckingsit in the kitchen.
I'm with Betty on this one. We we poison that cake.
Kill, kill Big Mom so she doesn't kill all the rest of us.
I don't care guys. Screw screw screw your cooks
integrity. I I I got AI.
Got I like my life. The the bet betgy Betgy

(23:18):
absolutely has the High Road here.
Now I understand where Saji's character comes in.
You know, he's his fatal flaw ismaking sure that everyone who
wants to eat absolutely gets some food.
But like also, come on, like youguys literally tried to kill her
like an hour ago or four hours ago.
Come on. Yeah, but we didn't try doing it
with food, so it doesn't matter.That is true.

(23:40):
That is true. I guess, yeah.
And then and then anyway, yeah, veggie eats some of that cake
and then goes like, you know, honestly bet that was that was
fucking good. You know what?
I'm fine with this now actually.Sanji, you got it.
She's like, fuck you. Actually.
You, you knocked me on my ass. I didn't think it was possible.
I, I, I pardon me, I didn't respect your game.
I didn't respect your game. Do you know what, Sanji?

(24:01):
You're right. This this cream does not deserve
to be sullied by poison. Which, you know, that's cool,
that's fair. I, I do wonder, I mean, so, so
Christian, out of curiosity, do do we feel like that this plan
holds water? Like, like this is this is
what's happening? Well, actually, are we on team?
Big Mom is going to starve herself to death at this point.

(24:22):
Or are we on team? She's going to eat the cake and
then pass the fuck out out of, you know, like delicious coma or
something like that. I don't, I don't even know.
It seems like I, I think that's usually what happens after her
hunger pangs, right? She just sort of goes into a
food coma after she eats her fill.
So I, I sure, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm all for for this part,

(24:43):
except except for the fact that now we're she's super duper
hungry and one wedding cake might not be enough.
So she'll just go, she'll go back.
She'll, she'll be go from media mom back to Big Mom and I don't
know, just be Big mom And I, I find it hard to believe that
she'll just, if she's conscious,decide to let them go because
she fed them this cake. But who knows?

(25:04):
Wasanji's cream is putting people on their asses.
Is she, is she even going to be conscious for the rest of the
ark when she eats that cake? If she eats that cake.
Yeah, I, I'm, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we
probably, probably the only way we can get away from Big Mom at
this point is if a, she gets so starving that she passes out or
the cake gets to her and her hunger pang wears off after she

(25:25):
eats and she goes and she, she goes into food coma mode.
I, I think, I think Big Mom has to eventually pass out somehow
in order for us to leave here because if she's conscious,
she's going to be trying to killhim.
That is, that is very fair. I I would agree with that
assessment. Justin, what say you?
She's definitely going to eat the cake.
OK, we're we're convinced that she's eating the cake.

(25:46):
Yes. All right, well, you know it's
a. Short speak to the you know, a
part of me wants to argue that like, oh, she'll just eat the
cake and we and that will distract her long enough to get
away and I'm like, come on man, she's going to like 2 bites that
tops. Two bites that tops and then be
like, oh, I'm fine. Yeah, 2 bites is gone.
To be fair, she's that cake is not actually that big.
It seems like, you know, they they've made, they've made it

(26:07):
large, but it's about it's aboutbig big mom size.
That cake is basically Big Mom size.
OK, well if you asked me if I could eat a cake the size of me,
I would laugh and tell you absolutely not.
But. This is one piece, yeah, but
this is one piece I. Like, this is where, you know,
don't forget, Brendan, it's Wimpy's like, there there's
still a cake that is the same size as one of the largest

(26:31):
beings in this universe. And you're like, Nah, she could
clear at least two of those. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm
telling you. These people unhook their jaws
without without devil fruit powers and eat food.
Like what are we talking about here?
Chopper just consumed an entire river full of of of ice cream or
a whipped cream or whatever the fuck that was that was covering

(26:51):
the sharks submerge earlier in the arc.
That that did happen, that did happen.
And Chopper. Tiny.
Tiny chopper mode. Tiny chopper, big stomach.
Big stomach, don't forget. Gigantic stomach.
Can relate. Damn Chopper.
Very large. Small do have big hunger.
But you know, Speaking of Big Mom, you know, Big Mom's
starting to make some moves in this set of episodes.

(27:13):
Unfortunately, those moves did not bear too many fruit because
we did it question mark. We staved her off.
You know, on the first assault, she was like, yo, assholes,
where the fucking cake. By the way, Pero Sparrow, I
remember you. I'm gonna fucking kill you if
you're lying to me about this. She's like, where's the cake?
And then literally everyone's like we, we, we do, we do not

(27:34):
have it. It is not here.
Where would we, where would we keep a cake?
And then she's like, Nah, that ain't that, that, that don't
that, that doesn't seem right. I, my, my son would not lie to
me because if he did, he knows if he would lie to me like I'd
fucking kill him. Like he.
Just wouldn't do it. He wouldn't fucking dare because
his entire lifespan would be mine if he did so.
Like I I made it very clear to him, like if he lied to me like

(27:55):
his ass is grass so shit there'sno way he would.
There's no way. Of course not.
Bucket side eyes Pero Sparrow. Pero Sparrow key super or no?
Excuse me Peel super sweating gift here.
Insert pero Sparrow sweating gift here.

(28:17):
Yeah, yeah. Big big Mom showed up, wrecked
some shit, and then Jimbei was like, can you please get off the
boat? Well, didn't really put the
please in there, but you get theidea.
And then proceeded to punch her off the boat.
Succeeded. Succeeded and then and then she
was like, did you forget I couldfly idiots?
And it's like, Oh no, we got we got we got to deal with big Mom

(28:39):
part part duh. And I do like this bit.
The the the bits that follow areactually some of my favorite
stupid writing in one piece where they, they tend, they
tried to feed Zeus again, which she did succeed at for a brief
second. And then Zeus is like, no,
you're trying to like you'll be you're an evil temptress.
How dare you? I I'm never going to eat your

(29:00):
stuff again. And and then Zap's Brooke.
Sorry, Zap's quote UN quote, Nami.
Turns out it was Brooke. Great bit, by the way.
Hello, I love that. Yeah, you missed this.
Imagine watching your episodes, Justin.
Imagine watching your episodes. Justin there's also these
episodes is crazy. I love the fact that like

(29:22):
there's not one but 2 characterson the crew that have lightning
immunity because. Yeah, 1's a rubber and the other
has no fucking no biological anything except bones.
Yeah, I did. The justification here is that,
oh, I'm all bones. You don't have any skin to

(29:42):
sizzle. So I'm immune to lightning.
And I'm like, is that? Is that really all it takes to
be immune to lightning? I mean, honestly, it checks out.
Not as much as rubber, but it checks out.
You know, it should still be charred, but there's no nerve

(30:03):
endings or anything to fry or skin to sizzle so.
Also they do a flashback of him fighting Big Mom and the last
the last time they squared off and then he was also on fire for
that too. And I'm like, brother, are you
just like immune to all elementsat this point because you're a
skeleton? Like you just do what you
please. Like fire, obviously.

(30:24):
Well, maybe not water, I guess. I guess like wouldn't it be
funny if the only thing that he wasn't immune to was just water
because seawater? That would be, that would be
something. But even then he can walk on
that if given the opportunity. So.
He's a view to all elements. Brother Yeah, to be fair, every
everything else is a passive resistance.
The the water, the water one is active.

(30:47):
He has to. He has to use an ability for
that. He has to use his incredible
speed. What?
I'm upset about is, I don't remember which of you two it
was, but somebody a while ago and whether or not Brooke would
ask Big Mom to see her panties. And I said no, he doesn't ask
villains. And then this fucking happened

(31:08):
in these episodes. I hate you.
Yeah. That that that happened.
I don't. I don't think I did that.
But I want to say I did that andI promise you I had no idea this
is going to happen you. You are, you're a liar.
You, you are actually a liar. If you if you did that, you
absolutely knew that was going to happen because.
That's the kind of person. You are.

(31:29):
That's so funny. What's so funny about this is I
didn't know that was going to happen and then there is proof
that it happened and I didn't even see it.
So in my mind it never. Happened.
You're killing me. You're fucking kidding me.
Yeah. In this set of episodes, Brooke.
Brooke stopped in the middle of the stare down as Big Bob was
like, what are you going to do, bone boy?
And. He's like, well.
I don't know yet, but show me your panties, lady.

(31:51):
And then like the whole like thethe episodes, just like, wow,
that was a bit of a hard cut, but I respect the the whole the
whole. Episode stops and is silent as
as you just are allowed to let this sink in that Brooke just
asked Big Mom to see her pantiesand she and then she and then it
registers after a couple of seconds and at this point she's

(32:15):
in transformation mode where herhair is on fire.
Zeus is super big. Napoleon has grown three times
his normal size. She's in big scary mom mode and
he's like, you got to shoot thatshot.
You know what I mean, fellas? Shoot that shot.
You got to shoot the shot when you can't, brother.
And that big Mom goes well what?And then goes to fuck some shit

(32:40):
up. But.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then then Brooke fucking cuts
Zeus in half. Yeah, dude.
And then, you know, slices the shit out of Zeus and then and
then he's like, he's like, younglady, you didn't even realize
we've been targeting the, the, the motherfucker flying you this
whole time. Of course we had been you're,

(33:00):
you're so easily manipulated. Big mother, or should I say
medium sized mother? Mom all.
Right, random question. Not random, but it's it's very
relevant when Carrot goes werewolf form.
Do we know the name of that yet?Soolong, yes.
OK cool great but I was about tospoil something so when this

(33:22):
episode appeared I don't know much about this arc.
Brendan hat got it right. Like I know like big flashy
shit. Mostly I think it was clippable
which is really just Kodicory fight and the the day Kara
turned into too long form. I was still not watching one
piece at this point, but I was getting algorithm by YouTube one
night and I'm just like scrolling and I see a

(33:44):
Crunchyroll clip pop up and it'slike Carrot it's too long blah
blah blah blah blah. And I just see a picture of
Carrot with like what no all white fur and glowing red eyes.
And I'm like I don't know who you are, what this is, looks
cool. And watching Carrot absolutely
destroy a bunch of ships at the speed of light was fucking
awesome. I had no idea what was happening

(34:05):
back then. I was like, I don't know who she
is, what she doing, but she cools.
Fuck, in my opinion is largely the same.
The the majority of that contentwas last week set of episodes,
but that's that's totally fair. And that and that's rough for
me. I'm glad.
Shout out to shout out to Crunchy Roll clip spoiling me
like I don't know, like 4 years ago, probably longer.
Shout out to Crunchy Roll clips,but yeah, no, no, we don't shout
out spoils. What's the matter with you?

(34:26):
While you do, if your names Justin do not, that's the will
of Jay right there. That's the will of Jay.
Is is the is the design. The Will of Jay Dick also
dictates you fear no spoiler. Yeah, it's not that you don't
fear. It's that you, you, you embrace
every spoiler you come across. You seek them out, in fact.
And when somebody shows you a spoiler, you're like, oh damn,

(34:49):
dude, I didn't know they had hands like that.
I'm going to make sure to catch up on it.
Yeah, the Will, The Will of Jay is 2 parts, 1 seeking spoilers,
and then two, making sure as many people you know that don't
want spoilers get those spoilers.
Yes, yes. No, no, that.
That's not the will of Jay. That's just Justin.
It was a Dick head because he didn't understand things.

(35:11):
No, it's I, I, you know, I thinkone in the same.
Justin, the progenitor of the will of Jay, denied.
The will of Jay started with Jordy because I said the will of
Jay was no no man with the Jay could stay on this podcast for
Inter. It doesn't matter that Jordy was
the first person to do the thing.
You coined it. Listen, man, No, no, no, no, no,
no, no. You just coined you.
Trademarked you trademarked willof Jay.

(35:33):
Now we get to listen man help you file.
The cops just stayed. Before me, the will of Jay
existed before me. I have just given it a name.
That doesn't mean I created it. It was always a thing.
That's like saying, you know, Columbus discovered America.
No, he didn't, because America was always there, already had an
inhabitants. He just gave it a new name.
Or you embraced the will of Jay.The will of Jay was always
inside of me, bro. Right.

(35:54):
And you embraced it. What am I supposed to do not?
Not. Listen man, let me know when you
have your own version of the will of Jay and try telling me
about how you try to reject it. Let me see how that goes.
You guys, you guys ever think that our conversations just
that, like it's shaped like the Earl Burrows?
All the time, especially when wetalk to David.

(36:18):
So sometimes I just feel like wewe talk in circles for minutes
at a time, sometimes an hour at a time.
So I'll talk to an hour and a. Half, sometimes an entire hour
and a half segment. Surely not related this time.
So you said over Boros IX here. I I imagine the oroboros.
The oroboros reminded me of a doughnut and I actually, I

(36:39):
naturally think of a mochi doughnut because that's just the
superior version of a doughnut. Stick with me here and now I now
ask myself, when Katakuri, you know, hit, hit the, the, the
media hit the broke the Internet, if you will, with his
presence and his powers and thisthat and the other, yes, I'm now
very curious if like mochi slashmochi doughnut sales went up in,

(37:00):
in, in correlation with like Katakuri's growing exposure.
I would wager that that was probably true for a time or at
the very least like like searches of what mochi is in
countries outside of Japan definitely were like, what even
is mochi? And then they like looked at and
they were like, oh, that looks kind of weird.

(37:20):
Maybe I'll try some one day and then proceed to not that'd be
that'd be my guess. I wonder if, I wonder if there
was enough of a spike to to makea a blip on Google Trends.
Yeah, I I would be like you findlike you find the specific date
that what do you call it When when, when, whenever what's his
face dropped? Katakuri dropped in the manga

(37:42):
maybe or that specific thing. And then you look at Google
trends for mochi. Does it correlate?
I'm. Going to do, I'm going to look
up the Google trend for mochi. Now.
I need to set the time though, because it's only looking at
like the last 24 hours. Oh, here we go past day from
2004 to the present. Let's see what that looks like.
OK, There was a huge spike in 2021, which to be fair, I think

(38:12):
came after. Well, after.
Arc. Yes, this arc.
This anime, this anime arc was happening in 2018, the manga
probably a year and a year or some change prior.
To that, although to be fair, OK, to be fair, there it was
pretty flat from 2010 to 2016. And then in.
In March or February of 2017, itwas, it was a big spike or, or

(38:37):
at the very least it was a noticeable spike.
OK. And then and then it's been
trending upward ever since. Well, I'm gonna say it.
I'm gonna call it the Katakori Blip.
I mean, I'm, I'm also looking atGoogle Trends right now and it
seems extremely, there's a very,there's a very steady pattern
here to when, when, when mochi rises and falls.

(38:58):
Is is mochi a problem? I'm also looking.
I'm only looking in the United States.
Let's do worldwide. Let's see what that does.
Well, that made it worse. They made it less trendy.
Well, honestly, Kadakuri Kadakuri made mochi trendy in
the US. Let's see.
Let's. See, in Japan, Yeah, I'm gonna.
Check Japan right now. Just take a case.

(39:18):
I don't know, I feel like that just I'd be surprised if you
found anything. OK.
No, that was 2020 though. OK, No, I don't know.
I just spike, it spikes every January because I guess, yeah, I
guess New Year's. Holiday season or something?
Yeah. Yeah, it's probably the time of
the year. The new year.
Christmas. All right, well.
That was a fun experiment and. That was that was a fun

(39:38):
experiment. So anyway, Luffy's still getting
his ass beat by Mochi Donut Man so yeah, yes, however.
Better and and hey, hey, let's not, let's not forget now he's
also contending with the fuckingside hustle that's happening in
the rafters that are fucking trying to shoot his.

(39:59):
Side hustle the dude shooting one crossbow bolt every minute
and missing. That we saw like he could, he
could be doing that all day and then like Luffy's got to be like
he. Already admitted to not even be
able to hit him because he's moving too fast.
Luffy's not doing anything that he wouldn't normally do.
Luffy is. Probably actively dodging both.
He's probably actively dodging the side no shot and then trying

(40:21):
to focus on what's. Going on I'm.
Telling you, I'm telling you. Brother, no fucking shot this
is. This is a peon standing on the
the sidelines while Goku and some insert other fucking Dragon
Ball Z character here. Go at it dude.
This isn't the peon, this is this is the the the right hand
man of the Lompe who will be theking of the Little sisters.

(40:48):
What a dumb. Fucking dumb I.
Don't I don't I don't understandwhat is this.
I I know this this like side. Shoot, I don't encourage us to
not interrogate further because we probably wouldn't like the
answer. I I agree.
I don't know what I don't know what answer could possibly
satisfy me for, for the inclusion of Flampe and

(41:12):
mentioning all of the the category fan club and she's also
the captain or the leader of theSuicide Squad club or some shit
like that too. Like why?
Why do I need this? What is this for?
Listen. Clearly established she's an
important character bro. Yeah, it's going to have a sick
pay off, dude. You just you don't see the
vision yet. You're right.

(41:34):
You're God damn right I don't. You're God damn right I don't.
Oh, man. Walter White beep here.
Yeah, dude, you know, just it's,it's Flampe just hanging out,
doing her, doing her thing over on the sides.
Where do they even come? From I don't know brother.
They've been there the whole time.
I guess they were there when when the whole Big Mom army was

(41:58):
in the mirror world and they've been hanging out on the
sidelines ever since. It's so fucking dumb, dude.
It's so funny. It's so dumb.
I don't get it. It's not dumb, it's it's careful
narrative development you just don't understand.
When you cry. One day.
No, no, no, no. No, I knew one of you fuckers

(42:23):
was going to say this. I shut up.
No. One day, Christian.
I'll tell you. I'll tell you what interest
what. I wasn't going to say it because
I have have a brain cell right now, but now that's been said,
that's crazy. I'm going to double down on it
because I understand you as a human being, Christian, you or a
Big Brother who cares for his little sister very much.

(42:44):
And I know Katakuri feels the same.
Your sister, You bet your bottomdollar she's got a Christian fan
club, bro. And she's the president.
All right? You don't know it yet, but this
content is extremely relatable to you.
And so when Brendan says that fab pay is going to make you cry
one day, he's right. I know it.
Yeah, yeah, well, he said. I hate you mostly because you're

(43:06):
you're what you said was way more way more important than
what Brendan said. When he's right, he's right.
But also fuck you both anyway. You know, many, many people have
been. I will, I will say, I will say
outside of the seemingly nonsensical inclusion of this,

(43:28):
part of my part of my annoyance with it is the fact that Luffy
and Katakuri's fight has alreadygone on too long and now we're
mildly extending it with whatever Flompe's shit is going
to be. So I just, I.
I'm not saying I haven't enjoyedLuffy and Katakuri, but it's
time for it to be over. Luffy has spent the last six
weeks. Luffy has spent the last 6

(43:49):
episodes getting his ass beat with basically no progression in
between like since. You, you, you feel like it's
ready to be over when he hasn't even.
I'm ready for it to be over. I'm ready for it to be over.
I want, I need, I need this shit.
I need this shit to be over in the next next set of episodes.
They need to focus in on the Luffy versus Katakuri fight,

(44:11):
finish it. Or at least like be much closer
to the end than they are now. Because again, the last 6 maybe
more episodes since Katakuri re locked into the fight has been
just Luffy getting his ass kicked and occasionally being
and occasional glimpses of oh he's closing his eyes, does he
have the hang of Oh no there he goes.

(44:32):
He's got he got punched in the face again 6 episodes.
It's. Too long, It's too long.
It's too long. What?
The I know you expect OK hold on, let's just let's just do
what fucking Naruto does and be like, oh, you know what this one
time Jariah sensei said that if I Naruto did the shit channel my
chakra a little differently in my hand, then I'm going to be
able to make a bigger no and. Then just like in.

(44:53):
The same fucking episode. Like, that's what you need.
You need that much fucking expeditiousness?
Naruto did this shit too, I don't know what you're on about.
Well, that's that's fair too. I just.
That's an incredible, that's incredibly wild thing Naruto
did. Just didn't, just didn't get to
go on as long as One Piece did. So yeah.
That's that's true too. Christian what?
If I told you that next week is the end of the arc.

(45:16):
I would call you an animal and Iwould call ODA an animal and I
would call the toy animals. You can't possibly.
You want the expeditious, you know.
Conclusion No. No.
No, that's not what I say. I said I want Luffy versus
Katakuri to be done now because we've been on this for too long

(45:37):
now. What?
What happens afterward? What's left?
You give Mom some cake, we leave.
Bam. Bye.
What do you mean what? What more is there?
We got, we got to settle up withit with with Big Mom.
We got to kill Pero Sparrow. Pedro's got to come back
somehow. Bro, Pedro's dead.
What do you mean? Pedro's not dead.
The only way, Pedro, why are? You so.

(45:58):
Bad to get to hand on his corpse.
You weren't here last week when we talked about this.
Before I told you what it was, brother, you have no reason to
believe. My my no, I the will of P OK, I
your your will of P thing was one thing, but now I have a
different reason I that we talked about last week with this
whole sulong form thing. The hell are you?

(46:18):
Going to tell me where the the Sulong is going to resurrect
him. Not even resurrect him.
I'm just I I made the claim lastweek that he that explosion left
him within an inch of his life and then somehow he made it to
night time and then saw the fullmoon and then he got to go
Sulong form and then that was itthat that allowed him to make it
back to the ship or some shit? I don't know.
That was my, that was my prediction that.

(46:39):
Was a hot too. That's what that was.
I. Don't know man, I feel like this
show has done crazier stuff. I was.
Going to say I. Disagree with that?
Pretty, pretty, pretty pretty good.
Look, at least I'm offering an explanation for why they
survived the explosion. Pell just sort of just existed
again. Man that, that was like how
many? No 600 episodes ago?

(47:00):
Not even 700. Wasn't done with Pell.
Pell has more tears to seduce. Yeah, right from your duck,
right in the future. Pell.
Never. Pell never sequestered 11 tear
from my eye at the time anyway. So really, really, Of course
not. I don't give a shit about Pell.
Actually. That's actually.

(47:20):
Easy bro, I thought Pell was. Tears for Pell.
I would have. Missed him if he actually stayed
dead, but he didn't make me cry.I was emotionally entranced to
him. His like his send off didn't
didn't hit you at all. My man is sacrificing himself
for to save an entire country bro Nothing.
Yeah. It would have been.
It would have been. It would have been great that

(47:41):
the fact that he he he he sacrificed himself as noble.
I would prefer he stayed dead that would that would like, you
know, maybe, but I'm saying likethe moment you had with him
before you knew he survived, themoment you had with them where.
His hell was barely involved in the plot to be kind of attached
to him. Wow.
That's crazy. Thing.

(48:02):
Wow, you know who else is barelyinvolved in the plot?
And I bet you fucking cried overhim?
Rosenante. His plot was more involved in
the plot. First of all, he got, we got
back story for him, we got actual story for him.
Pell was just there. What?
Are you talking we had plenty ofback story with Pell was there
and like a lot of the ark. Yeah, but we didn't get Pell

(48:23):
back story. We didn't get Pell sob story,
back story. Yeah, we got Pell is.
That what you mean crave Christian?
You watching over Navy just likewe got Rosenante watching over
Law. What's the difference?
Look at these two pictures, Christian.
It's the same picture. Not the same.
Picture 1 is AI, the 1st is AI, Law and Rosenante.

(48:45):
That's hand drawn, handcrafted, beautiful artistry.
What? That's.
Crazy. I can see the extra fingers on
Pell's hands, dude. OK, here we fucking go.
Here we fucking go. And you can clearly tell that
the that the that the AI was trained mostly with Nami

(49:06):
pictures because it's Vivi is literally just Nami with blue
hair. OK, well now now, now you're
you've you've crossed an actual line.
Anyway, moving on, moving on. Contrary to Christian's take, I
I enjoy the the kata versus Luffy stuff, but maybe, maybe I
will admit that I've roast into glasses because I do feel like

(49:27):
that there is a lot of content between the skirmish that
happens at a better pace in the Banga that it does in the anime
a lot of the time. But no, I like this part of
Luffy that's slowly learning howto, you know, deal with this
motherfucker who can see into the future because he's like,
he's he's pretty adamant at thispoint.
He's like, no, I, I want what hehas.
I demand to have what this motherfucker's got.

(49:49):
And even Kodak Curry's like how the is he?
No, what he's learning how to see the future.
What the fuck? What's going on with this rubber
bastard? I like that.
I, I think that's this, this interaction between them I find
to be actually kind of fun. That's that's me personally.
I agree that that part that partis good, I just didn't want it
to take 6 episodes to get here. Well, I, I OK, listen, you know,

(50:13):
you've already lived through 20 episodes of mom screaming for
cake. Why?
Why is this any different? OK also also also.
It's not that's the problem. So.
I feel like I feel like I there was like a valve in Christians
praying. That was like Brendan, you don't
want, you don't want to start. So it's the same shit.
That's why I'm annoyed. This isn't this isn't the light
in the sand you think it is. Sorry, Justin.

(50:34):
I mean to cut you off. Also so in these episodes Luffy
gets Zaspy but eventually we getthat training montage of
Rayleigh as someone one of YouTube predicted so good on
that. And and Luffy finally starts,
you know, connecting the dots, things start clicking and he
dodges at least one Qatari attack.

(50:56):
Like like truly just out of justjust guy he's like Nah they
ain't touching me. And Katakur goes what?
And then he just wants to kiss him in the face.
But that that was the true progress.
Luffy has unlocked the tech. Now he has to master the tech He
and then and if he does that, you know, in this fight, you
know that quickly. Is that enough to be Katakuri
and simply being able to dodge him good enough?

(51:17):
Should it? Should it be enough?
No, but it probably will for thesake of the show.
For for the sake of the show, itprobably will.
Well, let me let me pose this. That's amazing.
What if it's not enough Christian?
What then? What I.
Welcome it. At this point, I, I'm fully I'm
fully on board. I'm fully on board of the train
now. I I've been, I've, I've switched

(51:39):
sides on, on the, the impenetrable walls, like, like,
like I was annoyed initially at Big Mom, but but now that now
that we're here, I, I'm thinkingto myself, I was too hard on
that specific thing. You know, the where it's fine.
We, we can have progress and, and we can come back later and,
and tackle this wall again at some other point when we're
stronger. So like I, I'm, I'm OK with

(52:01):
this, but, but Katakuri this entire time has proven to be
basically on not unstoppable. He was shaken up, throwing off
his game for a little bit, but he, but he recollected himself.
And when he's nice and recollected like this, he, he's
untouchable. Luffy does not touch this man in
the last 6 episodes. And now that Luffy has a a

(52:22):
little bit of observation hockeypotentially to be evolved to
more a lot of bit observation hockey, he would have to get a
level of it that surpasses categories in order to beat him.
And to me that, so if he beats him, I'm thinking, I'm thinking
it's kind of, I'm thinking it's kind of silly.
Well, wait, wait, hold on, counterpoint, counterpoint if he

(52:43):
can match it, because the the the reason why he's struggling
is because he can't match his. Observation.
No, because all of this. No, because in the first part of
this fight, Katakuri is matchinghis moves beat for beat and
overpowering him. That's not observation hockey.
That's raw strength. Well, that's that's kind of

(53:05):
Curry like stepping down. Goofy though we still got 4th
gear in the pocket. Christian, once he can match his
observation hockey, it becomes abattle between 4th gear and
Katakuri at his best. Who's going to fucking win?
Katakuri already faced down Gear4.
Well, yeah, but he only like wasable to actually face himself or
face off against him when he regained his cool headedness.

(53:28):
So when he got back to being observation hockeyed above, then
he went back to being on top of Luffy.
But when he didn't have his hockey on him, Luffy was like,
wait a minute, I, I, I can hit you.
I can, I, I think I can fucking topple your ass.
If we get to a level where we match this man, we can go back.
We can do the salty run back, Christian.

(53:49):
That's what I'm saying. We do the salty fucking run back
and Kata Curry can go into the fucking dirt.
Well, this is this is this is probably how it's just going to
go because Luke Luffy's going tomaster some level of observation
hockey and this is going to be the only thing that could shake
Katakuri up. And then they had Katakuri's
going to lose focus and he's notgoing to be able to use
observation as well or at all. It's.
Going to be that simple, though,Like you think it's going to be

(54:13):
like, that's, that's just what happens next.
Like, so now we're just we're running through the motions
like, OK, Luffy's going to master observation hockey.
It's a level that Katakuri does.He's going to go gear forth,
beat him. And then we're going to, you
know, Bob's your uncle. We're out of here.
You think, you think, you think that there's no there's no sauce
left in this fight worth worth milking.
I I or butter water. I think I'm, I think I'm yeah,

(54:35):
I, I think, I think I'm just fatigued now on this, on this
fight. And so I'm losing, I'm losing
hope. I'm losing hope and I'm losing
the, the imaginative spark for, for, for things in this fight,
because right now it just seems very the path to victory seems
straightforward. I welcome the ability, I, I
welcome the chance to be surprised and hopefully it's

(54:55):
done well if it does, if it is not the way that I'm describing.
But for now, that's kind of justwhat it feels like we're heading
towards to me. I, I mean, to be fair, that's
kind of, that's kind of Fair. I, I, I can't, I, I can't
disagree with that, that train of thought to be totally fair.
All right, Where, you know, we didn't talk.
About where are you at, Justin? As as pertains to what exactly?

(55:18):
Where am I? What?
Pertain to what? I, I know you, I know you've
been enjoying the Katakuri versus Luffy fight, but like
about how you feeling specifically on the direction
that it's taking? I like it.
I I enjoy seeing someone struggle, and I don't mean that
in a statistically all right. What a sentence.
I love when people hurt. Oh, that's not that.

(55:40):
That those are not same thing. They're not.
I I. Don't know, Brandy gets pretty
close. It's not they're not far
they're. We're all I see.
We're talking brownie versus cake territories, all I'm
saying. So the appeal to me and and and
and possibly have shown in as a genre in totality, is that one

(56:02):
of the prime tropes or you know,what have you mechanics.
Anyway, one of the big things about shown in is that one of
the primary goals are shown in or the primary literary device
or whatever that's used is that it constantly shows your
protagonist overcoming something.
And obviously, you know, one piece is done that before, but

(56:24):
this is different. As far as I could tell it in my
opinion, Luffy has not gotten low diffed this hard since
running into Kuma and Kizuru. You know, pre pre timescape, and
I enjoy those things. I it is cool.
It's sometimes cool to watch thethe the pro tag the good guy
lose, all right, because then itbecause then so it's cool

(56:48):
because whatever, however they lose, it's probably going to be
cool shit right, because, you know, usually your character is
either really developed or strong or what have you.
So watching them lose after a win streak is like whoa, you
know, it shocked the system. It it it was a spectacle.
Cool, great. What happens now?
How do you overcome this? Do you overcome it?
Those questions get me pumped up, bro.
So Luffy's been getting a shit rock for hours.

(57:12):
Honestly like. You don't stay down and every
time he gets his ass up, he's making 1% progress and he's
finally made enough progress points to unlock the secret
tech. Now we got now now I'm also now
like before I was already like, OK, how do you how do you beat
this? Cool.
We were given the tool to beat him.
Or you know, at least part of 1 of potentially many, right?

(57:33):
We got one tool needed in our tool belt.
Now what happens next? Where do we keep going?
I I'm invested in the fight personally.
I, I, I, I feel with what he's saying, you know, you know,
Luffy, Luffy's had a lot of WS in, in the new world.
This is, this is the first time that he was like, I don't think
I have anything that I can just default to.
I, I can't just ask ODA to retcon a power up last second in

(57:57):
order to just casually beat you here.
I don't feel like, I think, I think I need something more.
I'm not saying he won't do that.I'm just saying whatever he's
got in his pocket ain't good enough yet.
He recognizes he needs he needs an extra sauce.
For the first time in a while, Luffy has come up in against an
opponent where he really has to tell himself like, oh, I can't

(58:17):
punch harder out of this, or I can't punch with a bigger fist
my way out of this. I need something else.
Think yeah and feel. And remember my I?
Remember what Silver's Rayleigh's always said?
And remember that that time, Silver.
What did Rayleigh say? He said.
Hey, don't punch blindly becauseyou ruined my dinner, you fuck.

(58:39):
That did happen in the flashback.
That was a funny bit. I like that bit.
I love, I love Rayleigh, Rayleigh Hawking up the stick
because he he he spilled his dinner too.
I. Was going too easy on you
before? Now extra fuck you.
Now extra no dinner for either one of us, apparently.
Good times. You know, we didn't talk about
though now we got a cloud, so that's cool.

(58:59):
Yeah, now. Every every day.
I don't know how we feel about. Nami.
Quite literally just like casually enslaved Napoleon.
I'm not Napoleon Zeus Zeus in inthese set of episodes after
after Brooke cut him in half andthen discharged big bomb or
whatever happened at the end of there and then Zeus is like tiny

(59:22):
and baby and then Nami's like soyou got to log.
Your friend, because I gave you a clout.
No, no, no, no, no. See, friends wouldn't strike me
with lightning like you did a couple hours ago.
It's like now, Now you're in debt to me.
Do you want to be my slave or doyou want death to die?
Like, oh God, what if I don't? He's like, is it too late to go
back to Big Mom? Can.

(59:42):
I be so fucking honest with you guys.
So yeah, Christian, I, I understand if you have mixed
feelings about this plot element, but can I just be so
good for real? When this happened in the manga,
I fucking busted. And I like, I, I burst laughing.
I think I was even, I think thispart of the arc was I was still
in college at the time or like on the tail end of college and I

(01:00:04):
was like, probably doing like a homework assignment or
something. And, and this is in a time
period where like I would go on and off to like, you know, read
like if I would do my homework and I'm like, oh, it's Friday.
I'm going to read some one pieceand or Thursday or whatever was
coming out at the time. And I remember when this chapter
came out and it just like hard cut to that look.
Of Nami, like basically like in like in between, like I, I could

(01:00:26):
murder you right now, Zeus. I could murder you.
I really could. But I won't, not yet, but I
will. I don't know what it was that
fucking tickled me that day, butI fucking busted laughing it was
so good. Yeah, I I could this be funny?
Yeah, it could be funny if Zeus just managed to stick around for

(01:00:48):
the long run and we just leave this island with Zeus.
I think I I think I'm OK with itat the end of the day.
But it's because it's because it's just so absurd, you know,
that we just, we're just, we're just just hijacking one of Big
Moms 3. We're watching it's one piece
where you can eat cakes twice the size.

(01:01:09):
Are you aware I'm I? I'm well aware this is.
Make sure we're talking. Yeah.
We're not talking about Naruto. We're we're not talking about
this. We're not talking about this.
We're talking about this. You know, you know what's funny
is that every millennial knows exactly what you referenced.

(01:01:29):
Yeah. Shout out to everyone.
Fascinating thing. I fascinating thing yeah, not
not not not me acquiring Zeus long term would I would
obviously fit the bill and especially that's that's a
that's a legendary ancestral drop chance for for Nami and
what she does in terms of her power said because now she's got

(01:01:52):
an extra conduit just for wherever she goes to drop fat
fucking lightning bolts on anyone she wants.
She's got a, she's got a casual familiar.
Bruh, for real though, yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
She's got a familiar. Yeah, she's that.
I this, this could be good. This could be good.
All right. But I think, I think you.

(01:02:13):
Think she starts collecting more.
You think, you feel like she gets like.
Okay, here we go. I don't know what all that but
like. Maybe not exactly homies but
like what? What if this is like her Pokémon
trainer art where she just like,collects a powerful thing,
right? I mean, sure, I don't know.
Wait. Wait, hold on, wait, wait, hold
on. OK, wait, wait.
She has Bo staff. She has Nimbus Cloud.

(01:02:34):
That's basically Song Goku. What else is go?
What else is the Monkey King have?
She needs the golden headband. She gonna close you too?
No, she needs the headband. The golden headband.
She she she can make mirages, which is basically close She.
Can do. She can do close already.
She needs the golden headband. Bro this journey of the West for
Nami. Nami Nami, just.
Figured. It out Jesus Christ I.

(01:02:57):
I'd love. To tell you but.
Always has been, brother. Always has been, brother.
All right, anyway, I think we'vewe've we've we've we've hit the
the dry point in this well, all right, So anyway, I'm not even
going to ask next week is going to be 866 to 868.
All right, moving on to quotes. Who's got quotes?
I got like the one that I remember from the, the, the

(01:03:19):
minutes of me fast forwarding through my 2 episodes that are
not concurrent. When Carter Curry's, you know,
being Luffy as he does, he, he'sfrustrated with just like the
resiliency of Luffy. And he's like, how many times
will you get up And Luffy exhaustedly just says until I
can beat your ass. And I felt that that spoke to

(01:03:39):
me. That, that that spoke to you.
That's like, that's like you every day you wake up, right?
Right, brother. How many times you're going to
wake up and go to work until I can beat capitalism?
You're fighting that one for a long time bro.
Hey now you know why this fightsbeen lasted so long Christian,
I'm just. Ohh fuck I'm rewatching the

(01:04:00):
loopy versus category fight until the day I die.
Oh no, I have I have two quotes.One is from Katakuri. 1 of the
72 times that Luffy gets up in these episodes after being
beaten down, he goes I can see it's Straw hat.
Your future is in darkness. That and Luffy responds with I

(01:04:23):
my future is for me to decide orsomething like that.
I don't know. I didn't write down it's
whatever cheesy shown and shit Ididn't.
Write. I didn't write that part down.
I wrote down the edgy part. Yeah.
I wrote down the edgy part because I like Katakuri more
currently even though Luffy is actively making one of my
predictions come true, which youknow that's really saying
something towards my attitude toward the entire fight.
Anyway, secondary quote is from Nami during this exchange with

(01:04:47):
Zeus. One of the things she says to at
the beginning when Zeus is like she goes I you you you shot a
lightning bolt at me, you tried to kill us.
And Zeus says sorry, and then Nami responds with if sorry were
enough, there would be no need for sheriffs or the Navy that
would that would tickle me. Yeah, can I, can I tell you the
dumb version of that, which is it's the same thing, same

(01:05:09):
energy, but I I just love the delivery.
Where where he was like, oh, sorry.
And she's like, oh, honey, if sorry fixed everything, those
Marines would be out of a job. Huh.
I'm like, I'm like, damn, damn. So good.
That shit fucking slaps. Dude.

(01:05:31):
Was that Was that all? You asked me.
I'm done. Sorry.
Please continue. The only other small 1 I had is
I like, I like what Rayleigh andand Luffy are hanging out.
And then Rayleigh at one point is like, yeah, I bet you can
like, you know, read the feelings of animals because they
wear their expressions on their faces.
But you know, human beings, we can deceive.
We, we can, we can fuck with your head.
So you got to learn to, to see through that shit.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, see, listen to Rayleigh.

(01:05:53):
He's, he knows what's up, all right?
Anyway, so. Like like his observation,
hockey, just like a game of poker, pretty much, Jack.
I don't know like. If you if you have like crazy
observation hockey, you you, youdefinitely slap at poker for
sure. 100% yeah. Anyway, moving out of the Golden
Ham, you know, there's like a few options I kind of feel like,

(01:06:16):
right? I think there's at least two and
the one I'm thinking of may not might be, you know, a surprise
to some of. You like should we?
Should we say it together on three?
What about you, Christian? You feeling it?
I'm invested in this. I want to see what this face
off, what this face off returns all.
Right, all right. After three.
After three. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(01:06:38):
All right, all right, 1/2 3. Right, OK.
Was what? What?
She's the queen. She's gonna be the future queen.
So anyway, brook your brook yourout of nowhere.
And older brothers have made herthe face.
That's, that's the shit I want to know that that's that's what

(01:06:58):
I'm really investing in with this flompe shit.
Who's the? One brother 1 holdout.
Who's the one Brother 1 holdout?Well, maybe the answer might
surprise you, Christian. Maybe.
These are the questions. These are the questions I have
that I want to answer. I want to know, I want to know
who the one fucking brother is that hates flump pay.
We forget the observation hockey.

(01:07:19):
I sleep the one the the one out of 10 dentists that doesn't
recommend this toothpaste. I'm woke.
I want to know what he knows. Oh.
Shit, I, I, I could see Brooke, The only raise I would have is
Jim Bay for also knocking Big Mom off the boat 'cause that was
sick, and also dousing the fire.I I think objectively, Jim Bay

(01:07:41):
might have like physically done a little more this week, yeah.
I'm a big I'm a big Jin Bay believer this week.
Damn, I can't be mad about it but.
Well, what's your case for Brooke?
What's your would make a case for Brooke?
One I just enjoy the interaction.
Well, one him putting, you know,him being the the you know how
you have that guy who gets the penta in a game, but no one ever

(01:08:04):
notices the guy who assisted with the penta every time.
That was broke this episode whenit came to with the helping
Carrot, I guess the Armada especially as she was like dying
down with the pouch seeing exhausted Brooke came in.
He's like, OK, first I'm going to put all these guys to sleep
so you just destroy all the shits real easy.
And then oh man, she's about to fall into the water now.
I got this also. That was a little bullshit.

(01:08:26):
I'm willing to suspend my disbelief that Brooke is so
light he can run on water by himself.
I'm not willing to believe he can run on water while carrying
Carrot. I mean, if he's fast enough,
sure, he. Can.
Oh, no, yeah, that's, that's fine.
I thought you were going to say when he jumps off of the boat,
Durant falls into the water. That he shouldn't be able to do
this out. That that that part.

(01:08:47):
I was like, I was going to be onboard with that.
But I don't get my dude should be getting a running start on
all of these, but he just kind of like cannonballs into the
ocean and then goes like oh I run.
Yeah, well, I, you know, you made a good, you made a good
case for Brooke. I won't lie.
You made some good points. Also he he asked the golden
question of Can I see your panties big mom?
That is, and for that, and for that reason, I'm out.

(01:09:11):
No shit, what a baby. Wait a minute, I want to raise
it to vote for him. Hello.
No, wait. I'm in.
I'm in. It's it's Brooke all the way.
That's it. That's the winner.
It's over. Jibe, Patu.

(01:09:31):
Fuck you. Hug.
My screen. What a what a what a sequence of
events are. You glad I had you make a case.
You got your you got your goldenhand pick now.
I am I am overwhelmed by the events of of this literally
seconds. Literally it was static.
And then he said Brooke asked Big Mom to show her panties and

(01:09:52):
I was like. Brendan's neurons reached just
for that. That's that's what I'm saying,
dude. They fucking clasped.
They they started, they started singing Kuma.
Reaching. They're reaching.
All right anyway that that's thegolden ham this week is is our
Bony boy himself. All right anyway, moving on

(01:10:13):
moving on to fan mail. We've got a backlog.
So if you're listening to this, just know that you are in line.
But we this week we have a person by the name of Zach who
has emailed us in the past and this one's kind of a fun one
guys, I want to I want to prepare you.
This is going to be a it is a quiz game show.

(01:10:38):
Hey, it is it is a quiz. It's a one piece game show.
Oh, shit. Now I'm going to read this in
its entirety. And if it isn't clear, I will
try to make it a little clearer when we get to the part where
it's it's officially your time to shine.
All right, so this is from Zach.Hi guys, I hope you're enjoying
Whole Cake, my favorite arc. Same buddy.

(01:10:59):
Or at least in New World anyway.Anyways, I have been loving this
YouTube called Zane Games that makes goofy Pokémon quizzes
where every answer is a Pokémon name.
Honey. Like what does the horse do?
And the answer to that question is Dusclops, where you break it
up as does Clops. Does that make sense?

(01:11:22):
Yes. So anyway I made you guys a one
piece themed quiz. Answers are one piece character
names like Frankie or Crocodile and as as an added help.
As an added help, all questions are dad jokes.
Anyone can send an answer and ifyou get the most questions right

(01:11:44):
you get a free and he wants to see the ticket anytime.
I'm sorry, no, no, he's he's saying you get a free anytime
you want safer work only drawingof something he will draw it.
And for reference, this is the individual that made fishing
Kaido that one time, the one that was fishing out for.

(01:12:07):
Jack at the end. Of summer or whatever.
Yeah. So you get one free plea or?
What did we just ask for like 2 weeks?
Ago we were going to ask him to say.
What did we just asked? We just asked for something like
2 weeks ago. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Someone rolledback a tape.
Yeah. I'm have to listen to the
episodes again. But, and for the record

(01:12:29):
audience, the Kaido fishing for Jack at the bottom of the ocean
fucking banger. Fantastic.
So there's a lot of reasons I like it that I won't get into
immediately because some of themare political.
And anyway, moving on to question #1 now what we're going
to do, I'm just going to read it.
And the first person that gives me the correct answer gets the
point. All right, we'll have to keep
track of your own points. All right, So question number

(01:12:50):
one, this is this is easy mode. Now that is out of the way, how
do you write AW? Now that is out of the way, how
do you write AW? It's.
Really the question is how do you write AW?
How do you write AW? You can do it.
I believe in you. You are correct, that's.

(01:13:11):
A big brain. Big brain.
Christian nails it on the very first try.
All right, That is the easiest 1.
So if you had to, what if the gears were churning?
You might have a bad time today.Oh no.
I was I was confused on the. I thought the first part was
part of the the like thing when it was it's.
My fault, I'm, I'm reading the e-mail and it says question one,

(01:13:32):
easy mode. And then he bleeds with now
that's out of the like, but I think he meant to say now, now
all the preambles out of the way.
Question one, how do you write? AW, that was, that was a real
question, so my apologies. Yeah, I, I should, I should have
sifted through that. OK, that's, that's no problem
with Zach. I just needed to be a better
host. Anyway, moving on.
Question #2A little harder. What do you call a knot tied by

(01:13:53):
Luffy? Knot tied by Luffy.
A boa tie. No, no, that's that's good
though. I like that.
I like that. I think you're you're, you're in
the ballpark, but but there's there's something there.
There's a little bit lower hanging fruit that you can grab
1st and remember it's it's not like a name plus like a thing to

(01:14:14):
make it funny. It's just.
Literally just the name. Yeah, just the name.
It was the name of a. Not the one that I want.
Is it an USOP? No.
It is not an USOP. I don't know why that would be
the care. What do you call a not?
Usop not, I don't know, my lesson, my brain, my brain
churning butter right now. And it's real slow.

(01:14:36):
One might say they're in the skywith diamonds.
Rihanna. It is indeed Lucy.
It is indeed Lucy. I kind of, I kind of spoon
veggie that one. What do you call I'm not tied by
a Luffy A loose A? Loose.
Because of his nickname. Wow.

(01:14:57):
Yeah, Come on, guys. Come on.
I don't OK. Damn, that's fair.
That's pretty good. I, I honestly, I, I felt like
that was a little, that was a little tough.
I'm not giving either you points, so I gave you too much.
Money. That's fine.
No, all right, Question 3 is winning anyway.
This is this is a medium level, so be be fucking ready fucking.
Christ. Listen, you stay blank.

(01:15:17):
Fill in that blank. What?
Listen, you stay. What is this?
OK, let me. I'll do.
I'll I'll say it another way. Listen, you stay blank, think I.
You can do it. I mean, I feel like I know what
we're referencing. K Ice Cube Iceberg.
Stay cool, stay breezy. It's got a full name.
Listen, you stay. Right, I'm pretty sure I, it's,

(01:15:40):
I go, I'm pretty sure we're referencing the Iron Giant here,
but. OK, you could do it, Frankie.
No, it's not Frankie. You're so close.
You're so close. You stay, I go.
I. Go, Tom.
Going, Tom. You go, Igor.
Who's? Sunny going Sunny.
No going Mary. Mary going Mary.

(01:16:04):
This is this is a shit show. I don't know, I don't know.
You're, you're close, Christian,you're you're, you're like.
Some version of like Ego or I go, but like, I can't think of
the name that we're looking for here.
OK. If if I told you it's Migo, what
do you think the name is? Go Flamingo.
Correct. Cuz Mingo.
OK, that's the answer to the question.
We're using too many nicknames. I don't like this.

(01:16:26):
I'm not gonna lie to you. We're using too.
We're using too many nicknames. That's where it's throwing me
here. I just can't remember any names
feedback. For a later date, OK, you know
this is, this is. No, that's fair.
I appreciate this. This is creative.
I'm just I'm getting personally thrown because we're using
nicknames twice now. OK, all right, this OK, Well,
this one's not a nickname if you're ready for this one now.
All right. OK.
All right guys, Bluno is out. Kaku, what did Lucci say?

(01:16:49):
What the fuck? Bluno is out, so not.
Bluno not What did Lucci say? Not Bluno from the bar.
Not Lucci. Not Kaku.
Kaku, what did Lucci say? OK, Bluno's out, Kaku, What did
Lucci say? I really.
I really feel like what are you guys could get this?
There's a, there's a, there's a good chance.

(01:17:10):
What are you guys are going to get this?
Khalif no what the I can't. What are the CP9 fuckers called?
God damn. Just just you could do it I
believe. In you Komodori Fukuro, he's
just naming. Them.
He's just naming them. This is the name game.
I just got to say all the names.I'll get it eventually.
OK, OK, OK, let's let's let's keep it in the space of CP9 if I
just go bluno out. Bluno out.

(01:17:32):
I'm out. OK, Over.
OK. Who, who?
Who's it after that? Who blank?
Hathri in Khalifa. You can do it.
You can do it. Think of the names.
Idiots. What's the?
Name Spandem in the. Bar keep run through their
fucking names. Do it.
Do it. You can do.

(01:17:52):
Spandem in. Next.
Next. Oh.
Wait, wait, Jabro. No.
What do you mean? Give me another one.
Give me another. One give them another one I.
Do. It go on.

(01:18:15):
Next, what happened? We even said at this point it's
left Luno, Luno. Stussy, no, I don't.
Know what's? Happening.
My God, you guys, it's Robin. Robin.

(01:18:35):
Come on, dude. Rob.
Listen, you have the answer. She's sitting in your face, all
right from you. I spoon fed I'd like the answer
is ACP 9 goon plus in. I practically told you and you
were like, she's not part. Of not Robin, you fool.
Rob Lucci, his first name. Oh shit.
Idiot like idiot. Like Lucci was already in the

(01:18:56):
Riddle, why would he also be theanswer?
Well, that's that's a different.That's why I took him out of the
Riddle to help like trying to steer you.
But apparently, apparently that you were too sussed out.
It is. Kaku, what does Lucci say?
Rob in OK. OK, well, that was that was the
original hit to be coach over. All right, This one.
I I ain't gonna lie to you. You guys got nothing.

(01:19:17):
This one is another hard one. All right, listen, this is this
is the hit. Yeah, you.
OK, what? What?
What do you what? What's something Jordy would
say? Yeah, Yeah, you.
Yeah, you what? Do you respond to that?
Yeah, me. Ya yo, ya yo.
Hold on, Christian. Think, think.
Think a little harder. Think a little.
Harder Yami Yui No. It's you.

(01:19:37):
It's still One Piece characters.It's still One Piece characters
who close. Who you?
Yeah, you. Yeah, me.
Yeah, me. Yeah, Yeah, me.
Think. Think.
Jammy. Just like.
Yam. It's yam.
I can't. Tell you without telling you it
you're. You're that close.
Wham bam, think ma'am. What was the the hint again was
who you? Yeah, you.

(01:19:57):
Oh yeah, you. Yeah, you.
Who is it? Yeah, you.
So is it? Is it like?
Who me? What would someone, what would
someone sound like if they were trying to correct a guy going
like, yeah, you and like, how would you correct them?
No you, no me. You're not me.
No, we didn't. Oh my God, we.

(01:20:20):
Did yeah, you, not me, OK. Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly.
Bro Zach, you're too big brain for us, especially me after work
when I went to bed at 1:00 AM I'm.
Going to be honest, I I thought you guys would get at least two
and. Probably.
Got 2-3, but well, I guess we got two we got 2, but yeah, no,

(01:20:43):
the the Robin one I without enough spoon feeding.
Although I feel like I gave you guys the answer practically, you
still didn't get it so you're lost cause to be.
Probably, yeah. I mean, to be fair, you kept
encouraging him to say CP9 members.
You just said kept. Yeah, I know.
I understand. And then he just never said of
he never said a first name, eventhough he's the only one with
like a first name in this crew. Yeah.

(01:21:07):
I also I also, to be fair, wouldnot have thought to use the
character in the Riddle as part of the answer, so that would
that would have taken me. Forever so true.
Yeah, I think, I think doing Kaku, what did Lucci say?
Maybe it should have been like Kaku.
What did spawned him say that might that might have helped a
little bit, just just ever so slightly.
But either way, honestly, do youguys think you would have got

(01:21:27):
it? Probably no, not not much more
likely. But you know, the thought is
there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, anyway, the the end of this e-mail says I have
written more, but we'll leave itat that for now.
That ticket doesn't expire, so no need to rush what you want to
see. And best girl branch, by the

(01:21:48):
way, also also agree best girl branch.
So, yeah, that was, that was thequiz.
I honestly y'all did about as asgood as I expected, maybe even a
little. Worse that sounds.
Yeah, it sounds like worse. I I, I think I sort of think you
guys get a little worse than I expected, but that's fine.
Yeah. Zach, I thought your quiz was
great. I think maybe next time around I

(01:22:09):
should be in the hot seat. I had to read it this week
because I knew all the answers and these two didn't.
I wanna I wanna do this again. I just, I I don't know how the
YouTube guy does it if the the if the clues are truly that
short when when he usually does it for Pokémon.
But the clues being so short feels just so open-ended as to

(01:22:29):
what some of these answers couldpossibly be so.
I feel like the the the but likethe the response to that should
just be like OK, run through names and then like try to like
think of things that someone makes sense 8. 150 episodes
worth of names, what are you talking about?
I don't. Remember, I don't remember all
these God damn names. I mean, they, they used, they
used characters that are well known.

(01:22:53):
So luckily they didn't pull up like a fucking I don't, I don't
even know like if like if the answer had been Khalifa or
something to that effect, you know, like a like ACT or
character, I would have been like, OK, well, I would have
never remembered that person, but he did.
They we did use well known characters, which was good.
I I just think personally, if I could offer some, some critical

(01:23:13):
feedback, the, the, the clues feel a little short.
There's not much to bite into onsome of these.
A little little open endedness on.
That would be that would be my taste.
That's it. Everything else, great.
Love it. Give us more.
I like I liked the how does Luffy tie his knots?
I like that one. That one was pretty good.
I thought. I thought you guys would get
that one for sure to be totally fucking honest with you.
All right. Thanks, Zach.

(01:23:34):
Moving on to the producer. Shout outs for the month.
We've got Taco and it's me, Rabbit, everybody.
Taco, it's me, Rabbit Woo. Yeah, I've got, I've got this
month's movies one at the time of this recording.
It's the beginning of May. So I've got a new set of movies
and they've given us some some some stuff to work with.
And I'm looking forward to recording as I usually AM.

(01:23:55):
And thank you so much for your patronage.
Thank you for being producers. And now with that being said,
we're moving on to the garb. Gab, everybody.
Christian I I have a question. Go on, can.
I can, I, can I please have the gab and then also ask Justin to
pull something out of said gab. Well.
Why do you need to hold it first?

(01:24:17):
Well, I assume he brought the articles to put inside the gab
this week, which I, you know, frankly, I welcome this here.
Let me just take all the wait. What?
I thought it was already full. Oh, well, I, I mean, it is full.
I there's, but I, I just assumedthat you were, you were asking
for it, so you had your own thing to do.

(01:24:37):
But I mean, that's fine if you want to hold it too, that's
still fine by me. No, I mean, I mean, if that, if
that's a requirement like I, I can, I can come back next week
and like no. No, no, no, you can absolutely
hear just it's I mean it's full of trail mix because I brought
it out on on a hike the other day.
I, I didn't have any zip lock bags left.
So I just I, I put all my trail mix in the in the garb gap.
I. Don't know.
I, I just, I, I feel a little awkward now.

(01:24:58):
I, I, I'm sorry. I, I, I think I, I think you
should just, you know, give the give the gap to, to.
I'll come better prepared next week.
I promise. I'm so sorry.
I mean, oh, OK, that's the I gotno problem with that.
I sure Justin reach into the bagof trail mix and and and pull
something out. OK, here's for hoping I get some
M and Ms. baby. OK, I got, I got, I got some

(01:25:20):
trail mix and it's naturally no fucking M and Ms. because trail
mix is garbage. Hey, at least I got I got the
one with the with craisins and not regular raisins.
All right. What does that even mean anyway?
Hold on some of the some of these Chex mix pieces got?
Oh, no, no, it's, it's not that mix.
You know, we got the, we got thestandard.

(01:25:41):
You know, there's chocolate chips.
We got the Craisins peanuts. I got none of those.
What the fuck? What's in my hand?
Then what is this? What is this?
I plead the 5th read the God damn thing.
Sam's recommendation? Brendan, it's your turn.
Welcome back, buddy. It's it's I'm sorry, who, who'd
you say? You, I, I, I am the big winner
this week. Oh, OK, well, buckle up,

(01:26:03):
buckaroo. Oh boy.
Well, do I have a recommendationthis week?
You know, I have. I do have a recommendation this
week, I think. And I'm not going to do some
figurative shit like I've done in the past.
I'm not going to do, you know, fucking video game because
that's a nerd shit. I'm gonna, I'm gonna recommend a
genuine classic, some good old fashioned television.

(01:26:25):
I have started the second seasonof a little known show by the
name of Last and. Video going to do a video game
thing. Does a video game a Jason thing?
For those I don't know, it's based off one of my favorite

(01:26:46):
video game franchises of all time anyway, but that's that's
it's beside the point. That has nothing to do with my
recommendation in the slightest.So I as of the recording of
this, I've only watched literally the first like 30
minutes of the second season's first episode.
I'm I'm just starting to sink myteeth into it and I am a huge
fan of the first season. Go watch it if you have it.

(01:27:09):
It's, it's great. It's absolutely worth your time.
And the second season, I obviously those of us that have
played the game are very familiar with what's going to
happen. And I think there's a lot of
what I've sort of heard in the Grapevine that people feel that
the show has already like reallynailed.

(01:27:30):
And I'm really looking forward to it.
I really am. I highly recommend Last of Us if
you haven't seen or you've neverheard of it, find it's on HBO or
whatever. Fantastic franchise, fantastic
story about just just some people.
You don't try to try to survive in a in that zombie world.
And I promise you it's worth your time more than the average

(01:27:50):
Walking Dead season. I'm just going to say it.
I'm going to say it. Walking Dead you're you had your
time in the in the sun, but unfortunately I sort of feel
like you you you got lost in your own sauce somewhere along
the way It's. Unfortunately, too many.
Seasons that that has a lot, a lot to do with it too.
And also there's like too many spin offs now, I think.

(01:28:11):
I think one spin off is like Negan and Glenn's.
Wife, you know. New York, I don't know what her
name. Is Maggie.
Maggie. Yeah.
Yeah, fucking now. Now Negan and Maggie are in New
York City together. Like, working together.
I'm like, isn't that the dude who literally beat your
husband's brains in in cold blood?

(01:28:32):
Why are you 2 shagging up together?
Although I don't know anything about the subject matter.
Maybe they're mortal enemies, but based on the marketing it
feels unlikely. Yeah, I, I Negan eventually
becomes a very sympathetic character and people like him in
the show that is. Well, let's live.
Maybe. I don't know.
You know when you said last Uvasyou're trying to just say of us

(01:28:55):
really weird, but you potentially unknowingly said the
Spanish word for grapes and I was very confused.
Last grapes us. The last grapes.
The last grapes, if you will. I was like, what about?
Grapes. No.
My fault. Excuse me.
Last of Us. Yes.
Last of Us. Yeah.
Good. Game better series or a good

(01:29:15):
series better game? I think great games, very, very
good season 1 near great and I'mlooking forward to season 2 in
in gross anticipation. And also if you're a big fan of
Last of Us or you never heard ofit, go watch fucking I'm just
going to keep going go watch fucking gosh.

(01:29:35):
It was that show called the the one about where where the the
nuclear silo goes off in UkraineChernobyl.
It's Chernoble that's the one. Chernoble was made by the same
director, Craig Manson, who who works very closely with the
director of the games for the Last of Us season.
They work very closely together.They even direct like individual
episodes each other. But Craig Manson is fantastic.

(01:29:57):
I love everything that he's he'smade at least of the things that
I am immediately aware of. Chernobyl is really good too.
If you like Last of Us, go watchthat.
If you've already seen it, it's.The way it's say say the title
of the series one more time. I said Chernobyl.
Sounds. Chernobyl sounds.
Every time you say it, it soundslike you're saying chair noble,
like the thing you sit in and not Chernobyl.

(01:30:17):
Oh, to be fair, I am. I am actively saying Cher noble,
but that's more just because I'mstupid.
Chair Noble sounds like a dumb video game by the makers of
Untitled Goose Game or something.
OK, that's that's I'm just. I'm just.
I'm just. That's why I'm diggling in the

(01:30:39):
background here. Every time you say the name, I'm
like. By vault journal not not to be
confused with the the the noble ass the the the noble place you
put your ass. Excuse me?
Not to not to be confused with Cher Noble, her newest.
Her newest? Different.
That's a completely different noble altogether.

(01:31:00):
Yeah, we would. Yeah, I, I, I'm going to get on
season 2. I, I think there's maybe one
more episode that still needs todrop of the season or something
like that. So is it?
Really. Already.
Almost. Done.
There's only 7 episodes, I believe to this season and I
think they're on I I could be wrong.
Maybe there's two more, but they're they're like four or

(01:31:22):
five episodes into the season atthis point.
So yeah, the season, the season is wrapping up fairly soon here,
if I remember. Fine thing.
I think I think I think episode 5 drops this weekend.
So then there's three more in total drop.
I think I was a little. Bugging that OK that that sounds
right yeah OK so there's there's8 total episodes this season

(01:31:43):
that sounds. No, no, I think there's seven.
I that that. That part I'm pretty sure is
still true. I just got the number wrong.
SO5673 more episodes. OK, fair enough.
Yeah, I'm, I'm gonna plan, I'm plan to get on that.
I'm, I'm very, very much lookingforward to this, this season.
That's my recommendation. That's that's my streamer moving
on. Here I am constantly repeating

(01:32:06):
in. My head Cher Noble feeling older
all the time. Something about a Superman.
I'm sorry. All right, what about Cher
Noble? I like the singer.
I. Already made that joke that
welcome to Welcome to two minutes ago, brother.
An. Echo in here.

(01:32:26):
Yeah, it's incredible. Wow.
It's been a it's been a while since somebody got usopped on
this show. My God.
Which is really funny because itwas really Luffy that did that
bit. But anyway, just you just who
saw this? So anyway, it's a part.
Thank you everybody for listening.
We, we love you. We appreciate you.

(01:32:48):
If you like to follow us on social medias, you could do so
at Panda Sightings on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
If you would like to send us an e-mail like Zach did, you can
send it to pandasightings@gmail.com.
If you would like to be a producer or even just someone
who monetarily supports this podcast at a lower rate, you can

(01:33:09):
do so out on Discord where we have the integrated memberships
now, and the link for that is inthe description in the podcast
and in the link tree on the socials.
If you would like to obtain something tangible for your
money, we have a merch store. You might have heard about it in
subsequent episodes before this,and by subsequent I mean

(01:33:29):
previous episodes before this. It's Panda sightings.com for
your merch needs and desires. We've already got a bunch of
people that have ordered, shipped and gotten their items
and have shown them to us in theDiscord.
It's great. I love seeing all the pictures
of people that have gotten theirstuff safely and neatly and just

(01:33:50):
just looks so good. Just so just just so excellent.
I love it and I just. Want to be the first one to say
that our merchandise guaranteed to make you at least 10% hotter
and 2% smaller? That's right, money back not
guaranteed, but you can yell at Justin for free if that doesn't
happen to you. Disclaimer these hold on.

(01:34:10):
Disclaimer These claims are not approved by the FDA.
Well, I don't know why they would because we don't sell food
or anything of the like. So it's it's not food or drugs.
So there's really no reason for the FDA to recommend it.
But you can also go to our red bubble shop.
We have designs from the from the merchandise in the sticker
store now. So you can also partake in that
way. If you don't have quite as much
money for a shirt or a hat or ora sweater, you can buy a little

(01:34:34):
sticky and put it on whatever you want.
And you can like pretend that you own the merch that is in the
actual merch store and it'll be great.
OK, I do have to make one thing in adjacent to this.
So on our merch store, we have all types of stuff.
We got different graphics, different this, different dots,
shirts, hoodies, hats, blah, blah, blah, whatever you want.

(01:34:55):
Get them in any sizes available.We ship internationally.
It's great stuff. There's no rules, except there's
one rule. OK kids, if you decide to go to
pandasightings.com and get yourself our Opwall logo
T-shirt, which I highly recommend.
My favorite piece of merch, It comes in a variety of colors,
white, black, you know, blue, what have you.
All those color options you see,ignore all of them because

(01:35:18):
there's only one color you should get and it's the soft
cream color. Opwall Soft Cream is truth.
It is the only truth, and that'sthe one rule.
If you're going to buy that shirt, you buy it in that color
and no other color. You hear me?
Why, why, why are you why why why are you doing this?
Why are you why alienating a bunch of people who may have
already ordered? The shirt I know ball, the the
the soft cream Opwaller logo carriers, they know ball and I'm

(01:35:41):
sharing my ball knowledge with the rest of community who hasn't
gotten on board yet. Wow.
Also, by the time you hear this episode I want to say there
should be like a little over a week left to make a purchase.
They'll they'll probably be moretime than that.
A little. I can't confirm or deny those
claims, no. Those are also not approved by
the I. Believe I was told that we will
probably the the originally we were going to close the store at

(01:36:02):
the at the very end of this month that I was told that we
might be extending that by like a week or so into the first week
of June so. A week or.
So a week and a half to two weeks by the time you're
listening to this and hearing Justin's cream colored
propaganda. It's truth that is life.
Yeah, funny, crazy how we you know, Justin, really I should be

(01:36:24):
commending you for for seamlessly integrating the and
and bringing back around the aura Boros to the to the
beginning of the podcast where we were talking about cream for
15 minutes. Excellent.
So did you guys know what that that Gee AKA clarified butter is
just butter without all the milksolids.

(01:36:45):
So that's why it doesn't really like, it's like super shells.
I am so ready to press the stop button.
He does not want it. He started this dessert
conversation and he wants to fucking end it now.
He wants no part of this. You open this Pandora's box.
What the fuck's your name? Brendan?

(01:37:07):
I was looking at. I was looking at our.
Listen, you're gone for a month,all right?
That must be a year. I was looking.
At our group chat where Devin woke up 20 minutes in the
recording and reading his name at the same time.
So I I apologize. I apologize.
I didn't mean it. It was all a joke.
You can press stop now. Goodbye everybody.

(01:37:27):
I'm a big dumb fooly cooly idiot.
Bye, eat some cookies, ice cream.
