OP | Eps 904-906, 908: The Return of Old Friends

Luffy and Zoro’s “low-profile” plan collapses spectacularly as Luffy enters a sumo match against Urashima, launching him straight into Holdem’s base and freeing Tama, briefly. With Kiku’s help, the trio brawls through Bakura Town, rescues Tama again, steals the Beast Pirates’ hoarded food, and celebrates with the starving villagers. And also Law is there.

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Juice Juro, your days of wreaking havoc on the good
people of this small town has come to an end.
I, Bread Goro, will see to it with my blade of redemption that
you will never steal another burrito from the poor children
of New Starville. Bread Goro, you're new to these

(00:23):
Lance. You know nothing of the cutting
and strength that I had to wheelto get to where I am today.
Those children of New Starville are lucky to have a warrior such
as I to protect them. Without me, they will fall
victim to plates far worse than even a three M Waffle House with
no chef. OK, Cut, cut, cut.
Justin. Brandon, get over here.

(00:44):
We need a huddle. Oh my God.
Oh, oh, OK, all right, whatever.All right, gentlemen.
First of all, love the energy. Justin, what was that last line
about a Waffle House? Oh, I was just trying to get
inside the character, Sir. I figured I could spice things
up with some metaphor that really expresses danger.

(01:06):
Cool. Yeah, Cool.
Cool. Cool.
Cool. So what I need for you to
remember, though, is that this is literally the 1700s.
There are no Waffle Houses. In fact, forget the method
acting. Do me a favor.
Stick to the script as written. All right, K, boss.
All right shoot man, just just trying to add some flair to this
boring ass writing. Sure.
Now you, Brandon. Yes, Sir.

(01:27):
Can you tell me what that was all about?
I I, I mean I don't know what you mean.
I I think I did the part as written.
Oh, you did the part as written well.
Considering that this is a western and not a samurai movie,
I find that hard to believe. We're making a Western, but then
why is the guy's name Juice Juro?
His name is Juice Churro, it's the first and last name.

(01:52):
Did you read any of the lines? Oh no, no, my assistant just
read me the important parts. You know what?
I can't do this. I can't work under these
conditions. I'm going back to my trailer and
submitting my application to direct Ocean's 14 instead.
Yo dude I I was still kind of feeling this though.
You you try to continue this movie or not?
I mean, I was definitely into itall.

(02:13):
Right, ladies and gents, let's take it from the top.
And. Into the Sudbury, we once again
returned to our troublesome duo,Zorro and Luffy, as they and one

(02:34):
additional troublemaker, Kiku, find themselves surrounded by
Holdems men after a rousing sumomatch between Rashma and Luffy
ends in Luffy's ultimate victory.
Remember when the plan was to keep a low profile?
Meanwhile, Luffy literally joinsa competitive fighting match at
the first operation opportunity.It's fine though, because after
Luffy sends a Rashima flying, hetopples Holdem, who is torturing

(02:55):
Tama in a building in the heart of Boca Bore Town.
Tama is free. Well, she was for about 5
seconds. She gets snapped by Holdem once
more, and he holds her hostage as he confronts the Straws and
Kiku on their rampage through the town.
Elsewhere, a food supply cart rears its head in the town,
being prepped for shipment to some location for the Beast
Pirates and their allies to store and feast on for
themselves. And yes, don't worry if you

(03:16):
needed more reminders that they're the bad guys, they stole
the food from the Only Funk functional farm in the area.
Zorro, Luffy and Kiku get the idea to save Tama and steal the
food. And after a slash of the baddies
courtesy of Zorro and Kiku and afiery red hawk to hold them's
Dome courtesy of our rubber boy,all the sub objectives get
complete. They take their victory spoils
and celebrate with the villagerson the outskirts of Okobo Re

(03:38):
town so they can finally enjoy afulfilling meal for the first
time in ages. Oh yeah, Law was there too, I
guess. But we ain't good.
This week, Oh, we ate good this week.
Well, that's good. I'm I'm glad man.
I mean, we still ate the good food, so.
We ate all right. We we, we ate OK this week.
Bro, did you see that apple, Bro?
I've never seen an apple that red or colorful in my life.

(03:58):
Yeah, yeah, that was the best look at Apple of all time.
For visual stimulation, good. We love that plot progression.
Kind of breaks couple. Breaks Listen, man, we're we're
just, we're just setting up. Some, but it's not.
Good eating OK all right listen,I I see where you're coming from

(04:19):
but we there's a lot of you knowrising action that still needs
to be had right well we haven't even really met any of our
baddies at this point yet we're.Not so.
So I'm not, I don't have a problem with a lot of the rising
action. It's it's some, there's some
it's little things like for example, at the beginning end of
the first episode, right? Do they need to stare each other

(04:40):
for like 4 minutes straight justto fill out the time?
Yeah. And then there was also the like
15 seconds that we have Luffy cracking his neck like just over
and over again like that. Yeah.
It's a little bit too much salt in this meal, do.
You actually it's a really good way to put it.
I will say I think the communityas a whole has a lot of rose

(05:02):
tinted glasses for the whole of Wano.
I might be the naysayer that just says a little bit that even
though Wano is fire as as a whole as a complete package,
yeah no, the anime does still have some of these sort of over
salted parts I think from time to time.

(05:23):
Like that's the best way I couldthink of describing it.
It's like like most of this, like so far great.
Like I love watching them do the, you know, the actually
beating the fuck out of goons. I love seeing them like, you
know, go ham on the animations. Like it's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, of course. But those tiny moments where
it's, they're jarring. First off, how does your neck
pop that many times? Like I can only get mine to pop

(05:46):
like that once on each side, notthree times per side.
What the fuck is that? Yeah, there's a couple sound
effects that they use throughoutthese episodes that hurt me and
the soul because they didn't sound right.
Well that's also just toy being toy.
Toy is notorious for adding sound effects and sound cues
that don't make any fucking sense because they refuse to buy

(06:09):
new material. Nah bro, we got to.
We got to recycle all the DragonBall Z noises.
Facts. They've been doing that for
years. No, the one that I'm thinking of
which I will get to to later. OK, but you get to it now where?
It hurts me in the soul. You can get to it now.
Let's air our gripes at the front end.
Dude, let's do it. Come on.
You and me, buddy. OK, OK, we're here.
It's a safe space. Well, almost a safe space so.

(06:29):
I'm going to do an idiot sandwich with this one.
OK? Right, so first we got the bread
right? I love the horse girl.
Hey, I love that for you. Right.
Love me some monster girls. I love speedwagon.
Exactly. Speedwagon best girl.
Right, Right. Yeah, yeah, Go.
Ahead, go ahead. However, the sound effect for
her clopping where it just sounds like 2 dudes in a studio

(06:52):
apartment just chomping on the ground.
Toby, I want to fight you. Right, OK, I, I think I know
what you're where you're gettingat.
I will say I will admit I did not have this gripe because I I
did. Maybe I wasn't paying attention
enough, but I I hear you. I hear where you're coming from,
brother. I don't know what else to tell
you. Like there's nothing you could

(07:13):
tell me like it. It's just one of those things
where it's like, I get it, you're saving money, you know,
because the budget for, you know, animation, it's expensive
and you're doing it and you're working with like the fucking 4
crayons that you have to share throughout the office.
Yeah. I get it.
But Jesus fucking Christ, put a little bit more effort in.
Just just a little bit more. I like, like.

(07:33):
I think they're trying, but like, I don't know else to say.
Maybe fire a couple CEOs or managers, I don't know.
Don't worry buddy, for what it'sworth, you will be eating good
both in a pace perspective and an animation perspective soon
enough. Right.
Like I feel like I'm at the appetizer sense.
Yes, You know, that's where I'm at, where it's like, OK, I got

(07:55):
some good ones. This one, the mushrooms, you can
pass me on that. You can pass on the mushrooms
and gravy. I just want the steak.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not even like that.
I could do, you know, give me the mozzarella sticks.
Love those, but like, you're handing me mushrooms.
No, please no all. Right.
Well, you know I understand, man.
I understand. Well, you know I.
It's not for me, but the server.Regardless, I'm still happy we
got to, you know, see at least somebody get the shit beat out

(08:19):
of them that wasn't Arashima because Arashima is just
annoying. Although I guess Hold Em is
annoying too. I don't know what we got between
the two different guys. I'm glad hold them got to pay
for his crimes against Tama. Right.
Yeah, I know, I know. I'm sure that that's why you're
very excited to see Hold Them inthis set of episodes.
You're like oh boy, I get to watch him get the absolute ever
loving shit beat out of him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

(08:41):
You have misconstrued. Oh, I didn't like the guy.
And then he popped up on my screen doing some heinous shits
of Tama. And then I was like, all right,
Luffy, deal with it. And then he dealt with him.
Oh, OK. Yeah, Yeah.
And now we will hopefully never see this piece of shit ever
again. That's not true.
Are you saying that you willed Luffy punching him in the face
into existence? Did you write that head into the
story or? Yes, that's exactly what I'm
saying. Right.

(09:01):
Got it. I just wanted to clarify that
for the audience. Yes.
I manifested that this is my timeline.
Now this. Is actually your world.
We are living in it. That explains all the Zorro
screen time. I love that.
I obviously love that for you. Yep, it sure does.
Ever since we got to Wano, Justin's the number one, the
number one producer. He goes, he calls ODA directly.

(09:23):
He's like, brother, I'm just telling you what the people
want. Listen, man, after two years of
no Zorro, I had to make a phone call, all right?
I had to lay down the law with ODA.
You had to tell him straight like brother, we got a chat.
Wait, did you just take a law body pillow and just lay it in
front of him like laying down the law?
He did, actually. I think that's exactly how it

(09:44):
happened. I I have my ways.
I have my secret techniques. I won't reveal my tricks on this
podcast. I got 100% correct, didn't I?
Got my head, Devin. Got my head.
I will say this so I I was not here last week, you know,
elephant in the room. Neither of you were.
It was just me and Christian. It was wild.
I didn't know. That all right, Wait wait
regardless, I was not here last week.

(10:04):
So we we we met a few smile users up till now in Gazelle
man, hold em speed and now and oh and Batman of course, the
Batman can't forget. Batman can't forget Batman.
So I am curious because we got confirmation in this set of
episodes that the dongo that Holden wanted to strip from Tama

(10:27):
does in fact work on speed. At least I think I have to ask
the $1,000,000 question. Does it just like work on all
zoans? Because that would be fucking
wild. I.
Think it does. You think it does?
Well, not. All OK I hate.
Using the word all because of how weird zoans can get.

(10:49):
Because sometimes they're not animals.
True. So what do you think?
I think the limitations are likelike you think it doesn't work
for it has to. Be animal in nature.
So like no Marco as like an example, no, because.
That's animalistic, OK. Well, I think all zoans are
animals in nature then by that definition.
What, what, what? What is it?
Give me a zoan that is not an animal in nature trying to

(11:10):
think. Of a good one What's?
Buddha guys like official doublefruit.
Oh, his. Is human human model Buddha?
Is that is that a zoan? It isn't.
Back to Zoan. All right, so no.
So no human. Human models, Yeah.
No human Human models, no gun gun.
But what if you're? Chopper who's a animal 1st and
but you have the human devil fruit.

(11:31):
Does the human devil fruit negate right I feel like.
Chopper, it would work because he has the animal aspect, you
know, but he ate the. Human devil for hold on this is
this is a good question. Quite a conundrum cause like.
Lassie the gundog would also fall under this category because
dog. OK.
So hold on. So are you saying lasso would

(11:52):
not be? Dongoed would be?
Dongoed would be. Dongoed.
Yeah. Because, dog, I'm trying to find
the ones that you can't. Dongo, I need you to tell me one
that can't be Dongoed. Huma.
Huma to Buddha that I get. That's the part.
Because like, I thought about itand I, I realized that most of
them are mixed with animals, like, you know, Funk freed,
right, the sharp sword, they're mixed with an animal, correct?

(12:12):
So like, it's kind of hard to point out like the ones that are
like, yes, I'm a Zoen sword. Like, you know, I mean like most
of them are animals. Yes, so I'm.
Kind of retracting. So yes, most zoens, if not all,
okay. Okay, but most if not all zoens
all right, fair enough because Ialso.
Don't know if there's any zoens that aren't an animal besides

(12:35):
the one. Which is named besides.
The the monk one yes or the the Buddha one the.
Only two known zoans that are, Imean, they are animals because
it's humans. But Thomas made it very clear
that the Dongo does not work on human beings.
So I guess by extension, the only two known devil fruits that
are not quote UN quote animals are the human human model Buddha
and the human human fruit flat that Chopper has as far as I'm

(12:58):
aware. Oh, it's still.
Work on Chopper just because he's, you know, arranged right,
he was. He was deer before humans and
therefore it must also work on Chopper.
Right, like if a normal person ate Chopper's fruit instead of
Chopper, it would not work yo. Wait buddy can I ask another
question? I don't I don't mean to make
this the quiz hour but like let's say chopper did get a
dongo though. So do we think that this power

(13:19):
of like command after she feeds A dongo to an animal, is it just
like they only do her bidding orshe can also like give them
passive stats? Like if she said I want you to
get 10 times stronger, could it happen?
Oh. So here's my take right OK, yes,
the dongo doesn't necessarily give any bonus stats like if I

(13:40):
just like feed it to you, you'renot going to get plus 10 to, you
know, strength instantly even ifI.
Said I want you to be 10 times stronger.
You don't think that the person would be like pardon me master,
while I go train endlessly for the next 7 days?
Well, and that's. The thing it's like because
we're conflating two different issues where it's instantaneous
versus going to strive to be better.

(14:00):
You see what I mean? Yes, yes.
When you say that boost, I thinkI, I drink the health potion
instantly. I get my health all the way.
100% no, right? Not at all.
But if I were to inspire you to,hey, I'm your daddy now go to
the gym. Yeah, I'm going to go to the gym
and I'm going to get, you know, ripped.
You see what I'm saying? Yes.

(14:22):
Yes, I do. It's you could be inspired.
You don't just get a flat stat boost.
I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not like. Instantaneous.
Like, oh, suddenly I just gainedmuscles from nothing.
Like you have to put in the works still.
All right, all. Right.
That's that's fair. That's fair.
However, I think that's also kind of how her fruit works,

(14:42):
where it's not necessarily like,yes, I just get mind control
powers. I think it's just like, yeah,
like in The Sims where it's like, you know, I, I gave 50
handshakes. Instead of giving handshakes,
she gives a dongo. And therefore my reputation with
this person is significantly higher.
I think that's how the power works.
OK so like she can control all devil fruits and it we already

(15:06):
know it has a time limit becauseshe said so.
But like now my next question isso like is she just going to low
key be the foil for this whole arc 100%?
Yeah. I mean, right 100.
Percent the the fact that law took notice of it 100% as soon
as I saw it worked on the horse girl, her speed, yes, I was like

(15:27):
Yep, this is the foil, this is it.
We've done it. We found.
We found the thing that's going to carry us through this entire
arc, this entire arrangement. I.
Cannot wait to see a plan where she rips a piece of her cheek
off and throws it in Kaido's mouth to nerve him.
Brother No. Shot.
No, Shah, No. Shah.

(15:50):
Ain't no way this or. Luffy takes the Dongo and
punches it into his mouth. Just to be like, wait, Thomas,
give me one of those Dongo. And then she's like but, but and
then she does and he's like, oh,I want to see if this.
Works just exactly yeah yeah yeah and then it'll like it
won't like fully work because his negative points old you know

(16:12):
it's a you know real big negative step modifier disliking
her You know I'm using again Sims logic sure sure, but it'll
weaken him so how? Many new friends.
Is Sama going to make? Is she like converting the whole
army here or oh, there's going to be a?
Church. That there's going to be a
Church of Tama. It'll be a congregation outside

(16:35):
the. Congregation to Tama.
Tama's about to. Become a new prophet to some
cult and she's going to have a mass following of smile users.
What's sad? Is that she's going to be like
super sweet about it too. Like it'd be really funny if she
was like super devious. She's like, wait a minute, I can
milk this, but that ain't even who she is.
She's like, oh, thanks guys, I really appreciate like stop
being so wholesome. Use your power for evil.

(16:58):
The. Best kind of person to be in
power? Well.
There's that, but, but she's on our side.
Devin, she can be bad. She's on our side.
That's not how One Piece works. We don't have baddies.
Evil's. OK, as long as it's on my side.
Correct concern. You heard it here first, folks.

(17:23):
Concern, you know I. Do also want to ask, you know,
before Holden disgraced our screens and got decked in the
face. I will say, you know, how are
you feeling about these like Smile fruit designs?
Because I do have a note that I want to give you from like the
early days when we first met, like when we were at the point
where these four smile fruit users were like the only four
smile fruit users that we knew. Plus technically sheep said from

(17:46):
back in Zoe, which I don't even know if you remember his ass,
but he was he was a sheep. Sheep smile.
And the bit with them as of right now has been like they're
very imperfect transformations or at the very least at this
point in time, they don't turn off the like the animal parts.
So like, presumably they don't think they can.
Yeah. Presumably they can't.

(18:07):
So it was like a very like a known obvious like tidbit by
this point in time when we were in the Mugga and we were just
kind of like dude Otis, like he must be having a lot of fun
making really wacky designs. I I.
Think ODA clearly got into some like gotcha mobile game and
clearly inspired the smile fruitoutcomes.

(18:29):
What? What's?
The horse Musume Uma. Musume dude, he was ahead of his
time. He saw the trends.
He was. Ahead of the curve on that one.
This, this came out in the year of our Lord, I think 2020, man.
He's five years early. Well.
Now then, technically he's behind, but yeah, no, Yeah.

(18:49):
Is he not for Uma Musume, that one?
Uma Masume. You could do it.
Horse girls have been. A thing for a hot minute.
Oh. Well, yeah, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But we.
Never cater to them via mobile game prior to 2025 I guess.
Yeah, they've never. Been their own gotcha game until
2025. I don't.
Know about that? Because Monster Masumi might

(19:11):
have a gotcha game out there. Well.
That's that's also possible, youknow.
Also, surely there's a Barbie gotcha game out there somewhere?
I mean. I that's a different.
Type of horse girl. Also a.
Different talking point for a different podcast.
True, true. So what?
Was your question again. No, my question was like, I what

(19:32):
do you think of these guys? Like, you know, these funny
fucking design. It sounds like you also don't
believe that they can turn theseoff.
I I don't these quirks, I guess I do.
Not think they can, and I hope they can't, but yeah, do you?
Think it's a good or a bad design choice?
I think it's a fantastic design choice.
Yeah. Because one, allows him to, you
know, get creative with character designs, and two, it

(19:52):
just, I don't know, I like it better.
Me too. Devin, However.
Oh, some characters are better than others, okay.
Well, yeah, I mean, of course, obviously, yeah.
It's 100% rolling the dice with these fruits, man.
Yeah. We got like 2 hitters that are I
love so far which is gazelle cuzwatching him have an asthma

(20:13):
attack was the funniest shit on the planet And horse girl like
speed. Gotta love Speedwagon I think.
Holdups like lion stomach is a sleeper fucking design.
He just. Looks like a British colonial
from the 18th century. I don't vibe with his outfit and
he's just Goro with extra steps.The fact that they didn't really

(20:36):
expand upon the fact of what thelion was and how it but like
it's. No.
He looked goofy as fuck. I'm glad he got bopped in two
seconds. Nah.
Dude I love I love the fucking lion design.
I don't like hold him hold of the shit character, the stupid
lion face and his stomach is fantastic.
Nah. Out of here.
Get it out of here. I think I.

(20:57):
Has potential, but more importantly, I think for me it
just looks like he's wearing a fucking belt that talks.
Yeah. Just a WrestleMania character
that cooked too hard. And the deep fryer, yeah.
He's just a wrestler. I just.
Really like it because like, OK,of the four that we have right
now, I'll exclude Sheepshead because he's his own flashback
gazelle man, Speed and Batman, the three of them have like an

(21:21):
actual, like visible trait that you can very clearly see they
benefit from, from the animal that they've been, that they've
consumed a smile for. Yeah, like.
Gazelle and the stockings. Exactly.
Well, OK, that not exactly, but I think that's a different
matter entirely. But sure, we we we can work with
this. Stay with me here.

(21:41):
But yeah, like gazelle man gets super speed speed presumably
also gets some kind of speed boost.
Batman gets to fly with his verylimp wings that don't really
make a lot of sense to me, to beperfectly honest with you.
And then you you just got to hold him.
Who's got a random fucking lion in his belly.
What that do Nothing. Which is why I'm glad his fight

(22:03):
went so quickly. I I don't disagree.
I'm glad his fight really quickly, but I just I just think
it's funny. It's a funny guy.
There were like two other unnamed smile fruit users,
presumably one that's like a sheep and another guy that looks
like he's got like, I don't know, maybe like a rat type
smile or something. He's got weird teeth and I think

(22:24):
he's got horns, but he's not a rat.
We've already. Seen a mouse guy but we have.
Seen a mouse guy, I forget his name.
Then it was a rat man. Maybe it was Rat Man.
I think it was rat, man. I believe it, but that guy's
definitely not rat. Because you're talking about
like literally just the pointy teeth, dude.
Yeah, the Super jagged mouth guy.
Why don't you be like a fucking fish?

(22:44):
Probably. Is.
Like like a fucking piranha or something.
I don't know. Piranha Man.
Fucking stupid and the. Irony of just getting bopped by
a giant bucket of water, Which that annoyed me, but it's a dumb
annoyance getting. Bought by water?
Why? No.
What's wrong with getting boughtby Water Luffy?

(23:04):
Carrying the giant water container.
What's wrong with that? He's a.
Straw guy that just should have been sloshing.
Everywhere, brother. Have you seen how yolked they
made Luffy in these last few setof episodes?
Brother could probably bench press a train.
He could pick up that water. I don't.
Care how much you could bench press, that doesn't stop water

(23:26):
physics. That shit sloshing like it
showed it sloshing it was. Literally sloshing when he
carried it away, that shit. Should have been spilling way
more than it had any right not to, brother.
Come. On it literally showed it
sloshing and like everything wasthere.
I don't understand what the problem is.
Like a naysayer over here, you know?

(23:48):
Speaking of naysayer, can I get ahead of this one?
Out of curiosity? Did you guys talk about how in
the ring, the sumo ring, there was like that floating fucking
thing in the sky? What about it?
Did you guys talk about it all? Did you acknowledge it?
Did you Did you have questions about it?
No. OK, fair enough.
Nevermind. I won't get into it then.
Well, I guess I could still tellyou we were.
Preoccupied with other things like Batman.
No, not. Specifically like, well, yes, we

(24:10):
we shadow all over Batman. Fantastic.
Don't get me wrong. Like, we made fun of him a lot,
you know, love to see it. I don't remember specifically
what we said, but we were focusing more on Hashira,
Hashira Ushirama. I was all types wrong.
Arashima. Arashima.
There we go. Arashima.
That's what it is. Yeah.
We were talking about him a lot,right?
Of course, right before he got totally disrespected by by Kiku.

(24:35):
And everything else that happens.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Well, if you're curious, the floating thing listeners, the
floating thing in the sky at thering is actually a balloon.
At one point in time, ODA had tolike explain to a listener in an
SBS that they were like, why is there like a floating castle
above the ring? And he was like, ah, don't worry
about that. Mostly Sumo wrestling always
takes place like under a specialkind of Dome or special kind of

(24:56):
like place. Like it doesn't take place
outside. So to fix that he just put like
a balloon to shade it. OTAs like how do I make a Tokyo
Dome instead of Wano? I can't.
Here's a balloon. Yes, here's a balloon again, I
feel. Like most of OTAs answers is
just like shut up stop asking questions I'm drawing horse
girls. Well, I mean he made a floating

(25:19):
like fucking shrine in the sky, like on purpose.
Like I think it's sort of Fair to have somebody be like brother
No, no, no, the question is valid.
I'm saying the answer is dumb. Well, no, I I think he always
had this cooked in his head because, like he made it a
floating shrine from the get No,he.
Didn't. No.
The fuck he did not. Absolutely.

(25:40):
He did. You don't add a floating shrine
without having a reason. It's floating.
No fucking way. 100% ODA. Doesn't get out of.
Here, not now. You're a fucking animal.
Fuck you. I'm glad I brought it up.
Now wake up. Sheeple shut up.
He doesn't. Know anything he just wants to
truck you girls all right so. Anyway, yeah, then they also

(26:01):
find a farm. Or not.
Well, no one found a farm. The the bad guys go to a farm,
one of the only running farms inthe entire region.
And once you know it, they stoleall their food and paid them
fucking pennies and got away with it too, up until that the
heroes of the story came back in.
Yeah, that's. That's sustainable, yeah.
Even for an evil empire. Well.
I mean, the only question now becomes how long does the evil

(26:24):
empire plan to continue like reaping these spoils?
We don't know a lot about the Evil Empire yet.
Theoretically. Should be a long time or
indefinitely. Well, I mean.
Is there plan to do it indefinitely or is there plan to
just like, you know, fuck aroundfor a little bit longer than be
like, you know what, we got whatwe needed.
It depends. On the manufacturing process,
true. Very, very true.
I mean, we don't even really know how long everything's been

(26:46):
happening up until this point. Like how long has Wano?
Like we don't. Even know what they're making
specifically we do. Not know what they're making and
the slightest if it's. Swords then like, sure, yeah,
you punch a bunch of those out, but they don't necessarily.
There's a lot of questions, OK. And I'm just this is the first
time I'm thinking about it. I hate it give.

(27:07):
Me a question, Devin. What's question #1 numero Uno
again? What the fuck are they making
that's making so much pollution?Well.
Well, aren't they making smiles?Question mark?
Didn't they tell us that second?Off what kind of products are
they using? Third off, how many people does
he have underneath them that he needs to build that many
weapons? And is that his main export now?

(27:28):
Well, yeah. Third off, what about the manual
labor? Like, are you feeding the manual
labor Because you're clearly notpaying the people?
Yes. When in doubt, slavery, surely,
right? When in doubt, slavery, Yes, but
you still have to feed them. I mean, I think.
That's a yes, not a. Lot I never said, a lot I don't
know how to. Phrase my next statement.
So I'm going to, I'm going to choose silence.

(27:51):
I think these are good questionslike.
It's not a lot, especially if you're using the slave bar, but
like it's you're the other plot point, but it's it's like you
still have to if you want to getyour product made, yes.
I think that this is very true. I've been doing.
A lot of DM writing and we've been using a lot of real world
inspiration, so that's why I've been thinking about this stuff a
lot, I see. Well, that's good.
Yeah. You know, I, I think all of your

(28:12):
questions will one day be answered and more.
And I'm glad that these are things that you're thinking
about. In the meantime, let us have the
rising action and stop being. So I'm just gonna say, don't
stop being so negative. You haven't really been that
negative. I've been doing good.
You've been doing just fine, actually, I think it's just,
it's a reflex. It's a reflex, Very.
Positive. Put the whip down.

(28:36):
I put the. Belt down.
I will keep it raised and you will like it anyway.
Hey, you know Law is in this setof episodes.
How about that guy and Hawkins? Yeah, Hawkins.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Devin and Christian really like Hawkin.

(28:57):
They're fans for sure. It's OK.
It's fucking great. He's he's a fun guy.
He's cool. What up do you have thoughts?
On that or do you have somethingto say?
I'm just. Hating the enemy of my lover,
Law, that's all. Even though I think he's
actually really cool. But I can't.
I can't say that he's. Soon during it.
Just remember Justin, the enemy of my Princess is a love
interest, no? No, it's a love triangle.

(29:22):
I've never considered the third option all I'm.
Saying is in 100% of mediums with a Princess that has a
conflict with a character. Usually they're either a love
interest or the Super baddie. I don't think Hawkins is the
Super baddie is all I'm getting at.
What if Hawkins was the Princess?
Hold on, Sorry, hold on. Let's calm down, brother.
How we're fucking talking this is this was always Hawkins

(29:48):
native land. He wanted to roam the seas as a
pirate to take down the emperors.
He didn't care which one to start with, but he wanted to
build his way up to Kaido. Kaido found him and said hey
Honk, did you really think that you could leave my territory?
You got to get back here and become Mike crony.
And then Hawkins was like, well shit, I guess that is what it

(30:09):
is. I got to do what I got to do
now. And now here he is just in
Hawkins. You can't.
Be arc Princess only law could be arc Princess thumbs the
rules. Listen brother, it's a.
Brand new Arc. It's a new day.
Anyone could be anything now. Law doesn't have to be the Arc
Princess anymore. Yeah, Arc.
Law is not the arc Princess. He had dress Rosa.
He's out, Princess. No.
No, no, no. You'll see.

(30:29):
You'll all see. You'll.
All see. Law is going to return to being
baby girl soon enough. You have.
No idea that sentence. Hurts my head.
Also, you know, I I love law andI do love Hawkins.
How that fucking straw sword work though?
Can somebody do? Somebody just explained that to

(30:51):
me. I got it.
No man, we tried. Figuring it out, I think we
landed on Have you never gotten?Paper cuts in like a field from
grass. I mean I.
Believe that stabbing with strawis a valid way of stabbing.
What I draw into question is whydoes my man have a devil fruit
that he can use to turn his sword into straw?

(31:13):
Because he has a straw. Straw fruit.
Clearly it's. Just funny to me, man.
It's just a funny thing that he does.
Every time I see it, I'm like, is it going to be a whip or is
it going to be a sward? All of the above or?
Secret third option, a paintbrush or a paint.
It could be a paintbrush. He could go full fucking conjuro

(31:34):
on our asses. You never know.
You never fucking know with thisguy.
I. Don't know if I like that.
What if, What if he's a really good artist?
You know better than Conjuro, which is not exactly a high bar
to pass. Evidence not in in play yet.
I don't know. OK.
Flag on the fields. Flag on the field under.

(31:55):
Referee review foul. Red team loses 5 feet, cut them
off. For fucks sakes.
Also can I just say that you know, I do miss the days of law
just being upset with the strawsdoing straw things.
Man that that shit always hits. Dude, the.
Vein in his fucking forehead. You know, you know, that vein in

(32:20):
his forehead was like waiting for its time to shine.
It's like, man, I haven't seen the light of day in months.
Oh boy, it's Straw Head. Today's the day.
Like I'm like literally every single time I see him, like
staring at Luffy, like, you know, realizing what's happening
now. I I just imagine like like like
a scene in a bridge where like they just like cut the screen to

(32:42):
black to just like the sounds ofhis inside his head is just a
man throwing tables and like fucking glass breaking like
motherfucking damn it, it's fine.
Not a fucking gun, it's fine. It's fine.
It'll workout in the end. It always fucking works out.
Mostly thanks to me, but it willworkout.

(33:03):
He's just putting a lot of gas. Too much gas.
But you know what? God damn it?
Slams table. It's like honestly that was my
bad. I asked him to light the fire.
I just, I didn't. I underestimated his ability to
find the gas. I'll know better than let him do
that next time. Proceeds to not well, no, Law's
mistake is at some point believing that he can control

(33:25):
Luffy from lighting the fire. Nobody can stop Luffy from
lighting the fire. It's like that.
That one meme where it's the guywas like you know step one, you
know have a plan. Step 2 have a plan that you know
in case of the other plan fails.Step three throw all the plans.
No I think in the last case it'sstep one make a sick plan, then

(33:45):
after it got taken out by Luffy at one point in time he was like
OK step one don't include straw hat on any fucking plan.
And then Luffy does it again andnow he's like, OK, step one,
give Luffy the run ahead, but control literally every other
variable to take it out of his hands that he could royally fuck

(34:05):
up anything at all. Step four, OK, that plan didn't
work. Just point him in the direction,
point him in the direction and go with it.
Just roll in it. He like turns Luffy's like, hey
Luffy, look, I think that's Kaido.
And then he just goes Kaido, Kaido.

(34:26):
He looks back at the rest and he's like, OK guys, we don't
have logs in. About 3 minutes he's going to
realize something and he's it's either actually going to be
Kaido or it's not. And he's going to realize that
we, you know, tracked him and he's going to keep we, we got to
run. We got to we.
Got to run now. Oh yeah.
All the, all the villagers got fed, you know, they, they, they
all had fun. Yeah, that's going.
To have some negative consequences, yeah.

(34:48):
You know, I, I think you might be right.
They're not. Going to be there to defend them
from getting the food back. I think that's true.
The towns fucked. Well, you know, in the grand
scheme of things, at least they lived for a day.
Yeah, they should. Eat all of it as fast as they
can, yes. Very quick.
They should just be like, honestly, I don't know what

(35:10):
happened to that food. And then like Jack comes up or
whatever. Oh, Jack owns this territory, by
the way. Jack comes up and goes like, oh,
your fucking bellies are foldingA brim, man.
They're just like literally havenot eaten a scrap today.
I promise. That rock over there is actually
looking mighty appetizing. I'm pretty.
Sure, that rock is already in mystomach.

(35:31):
Yep. Hold on, let me go vomit water
from the rivers. Pardon me, Jack.
I've got to go continue to drinkthe poison water from the river
because I I'm under terrible living conditions.
I have never eaten or drank in aday in my life really.
Because of like the proximity ofthat town to the other town.

(35:52):
It's like, why did you leave? You might as well just stay.
I thought it was. The same town.
It was just like the outskirts of the main town.
It essentially is. Yeah, I think it's all Oka Bora
town, but like, the nice homes in the center of the town square
all got like, taken over by Kaido and his men.
Yeah, it's gated. Community.

(36:12):
Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
And then, like, all the scraps got sent out to like the outer
reaches where they have to like,you know, they get rundown huts
that they put rocks over the holes to keep it from raining
in, which is just kind of sad actually.
And this. Is why we don't like Hoas.
This is. Exactly why we hate an HOA.
Down with the Hoas. Glad you brought it up, Justin.

(36:33):
Thank you. But then, yeah, you know, the
last thing that happens is law is taking us to the former
Odin's castle and Kiku just wants to like, chill and vibe
for a while. I can't wait.
For them to eat soup there. Maybe they will.
Maybe they fucking will. And I, I don't know if, like,
your Subs made it clear, but like, there were a lot of grapes

(36:57):
that were shown as our cliffhanger.
Yeah. With their names, which I think
are red herrings to say that Oh yeah, they're definitely not
alive, Kaido, they're dead, but they're not.
Oh boy. Step Kaido, we're totally dead.
I don't know. I don't know why that came into
my head but it did OK but. What if, what if those graves

(37:18):
are fresh and they're new because they killed all those
Pomies like a week ago and there's no one knew very well
could be. What do you say that Devin?
Shut up. He says Nah dude, to be fair,
like that would be a pretty hardhold on ODA.

(37:40):
Killing someone, It took like 700 episodes for him to kill
Ace. Nah.
It took him well, it will. Be off screen.
You never saw it did bot D? OK, I see where your point is.
Yeah. It took 490 episodes for him to
kill Ace. Just so we're clear.
Like fucking put some respect tomy boy.
Oh. Wow, you've changed my

(38:00):
perspective so much, Brandon. Thank you for that.
Listen, I'm just, I just, I justwanted accuracy, all right?
If you're going to flame the man, at least be accurate.
All right? There was a there's at least 200
or 300 episodes on the table that you are not accounting for.
Oh. No.
And he? Just he just killed Pedro,

(38:21):
literally just killed him. I.
Didn't see a body well. I I don't know what to tell you,
brother. Everyone else thinks he's dead.
It's just you and you don't. Want to know?
You want to know who else thinkssomeone's dead?
Our favorite fishy boy. But I didn't see nobody yet.
That Well, Nobody. No Death.
OK. Do I think Jack is dead?
No. Do I think he's definitely.

(38:43):
Stuck at the bottom of the ocean?
Yes, well, we know. He's not dead.
We saw him get picked up. He got fished out.
No, he didn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jack is totally fine. Hey, what?
I thought he I thought he went sinking to the bottom of the
ocean because Fishman, but Devilfruit because the ship got blown
up by the bigger elephant. Yeah, but.
He was literally seen seven daysago.
Yeah, they they. Literally said that they saw him

(39:04):
like 7 days ago in these set of episodes brother.
Damn flashback and all. Well, we got the flashback of of
Jack getting got. Well, there's.
Also the part of the flashback where he's in the town.
Oh yeah. He does, he does like menacingly
hang out at the town or whateverfor like a split second in the
flashback. Yes that is true, that did
happen. I'm sorry how could I forget?

(39:25):
I. Reject your reality and place of
my own where Jack is at the bottom of the ocean.
Reject. Reject.
I reject your reality. Jack is fine, brother.
See. Justin, where you're wrong is
those those documents are rejected.
Rejected. Hold on.

(39:45):
I like that. Rejected.
But all right, you know, mainly the elements that we get in the
set of episodes I think were kibidongo doing kibidongo things
and limitations have not been established.
So Yikes. That's going to turn this whole
arc up on its head. I I have a sneaking suspension

(40:06):
every. Week friendship Arc initiated
Question friendship. Arc initiated with every zone
when I meet question mark. You get a friendship.
You get a friendship. You get a friendship.
Thomas that that mean form of the guy who's doing a trade is
like you've received Kibi Dongo,I receive personal army you.

(40:29):
Receive 1 delicious Kibi Dongo. I receive unending servitude.
When luby wanted to test this, he literally just goes yo tella,
give me pass me one of them Don go like yo pass that shit, you
know, you know pup pup pass. And then Thomas like that was

(40:51):
like, Nah, dude, like I'm. But then she was like, I guess
maybe whatever she takes it and goes like here, eat this and the
speed's like Nah, absolutely not.
I'm not going to just fucking eat that.
And then she stopped. She was like, on the other hand,
like, what was wrong with you, lady?
You're killing me. She's like.
Whoa hey, why would I eat a piece of your cheek just ripped

(41:12):
off? That's weird.
However, however. First off.
Sir, get off my back. However, that do be looking kind
of good. She gave it the the fucking
Dwayne Johnson like eyebrow, youknow what I'm saying?
Like the she was like absolutelynot unless.

(41:34):
The Rock is pleased with this dongle.
I just thought that was fucking silly.
I also. Love the reoccurring bit that
keeps happening with her where it's like Luffy will give her an
order and she'll be like no go eat shit and die.
Like, absolutely. Not and then like.
The little girl will be like pretty Please, and she'll be
like anything for you, Master. Anything for you, my lovely.

(41:58):
I mean to. Be fair I do the same thing.
Lucy gives me an order and man fuck off I'm I'm busy.
Tama gives me an order of course, little sister for some.
Reason I thought you were going to say Nami or Robin and then I
was just going to be like wow what a simp, but honestly that's
way cuter. That's a way cuter response.
However it. Still probably wouldn't be wrong
even if he did say those two. I don't like this picture you're

(42:23):
painting of me. Hey you.
Roasted me 3 weeks ago, I get tothrow one back.
Shit, you're right. He said.
Shit, you're right. See this is.
Me taking accountability. Oh my fuck, he got in a very.
Strange way, right? I think we cover what we needed
to cover, right? Yeah.
Easy UPS the people. Have been fed and they.
Love that. Yeah.

(42:43):
Temporarily well. I think the people are alive
temporarily. Well, how?
Fast you dare to go to the food you know, I don't think the.
Food is going to be the problem.Yeah, I I think it's the fact
that their souls are still in this mortal coil.
They still have pulses, Yeah. And the place that they got the

(43:04):
food from is very pissed. Yeah.
I think so too. Something.
Something exterminatus. I don't know what you're.
Talking about everything's fine.Oh, sooner.
I was going to have some sad back story thing come up in the
near future and there's going tobe a flashback and it's going to
be real sad. You think so?
Expand on that I think. Everyone in this country

(43:25):
probably has a sad back story from like the past X amount of
time Kaido's been around well. They're going to get back to the
village at some point to fight Le Jack and.
That. Town's going to be gone.
What? No, Jack couldn't flood another
town, I don't think. He's going to flood anything.

(43:46):
I think he's just going to. Level it.
He's just going to walk up and demolish it knowing.
Him, he's been playing probably a lot of Rd. craft and he's
going to level that road. He's like, hey, Carlos said.
We're going to install a new highway.
Oh, where? Right here.
But this is my house. Yeah, I know.

(44:08):
Fuck sakes this is now a. Construction site.
Get out of the way. Oh no, you're.
Violating OSHA guidelines? Stomp.
I'm not done inquiring more about this Zorro pitch, though.
David, expand that. Why?
Why is Zorro miraculously going to get a flashback here?
What? No, I said Osuru.
Osuru. Oh.

(44:28):
Suru that makes so much more sense.
I'm like, what, Zorro? Can't get a back story, huh?
What Can't have back story and. And why don't why he doesn't
have any fucking history here. Allegedly, he better.
Have some back story here why don't get?
Me wrong. I hope he does.
That would be sick because there's lots of swords around
here and, you know, samurai. Sword man in a samurai sword

(44:51):
country. Do I got to explain it I love.
That the requirement for Zorro to like like we because we are
in a land of sword. Zorro must be important period
like that. I'm glad you.
Understand it's not simple, Brenton, OK.
Yeah, you're right. You know what?
I'll. I accept it.
I I accept what I what? I don't understand.
Like I. Don't see the problem.

(45:12):
Like what? Like what?
I don't understand. How you don't understand?
It's so simple. You just said it all right,
moving. On anyone got any like no like
decent things to talk about or or what?
Normal things to talk about? Was that what you were about to
say? That was what I was about to
say. Then I remembered that I do a
podcast about a cartoon that's 1000 episodes in for a living,

(45:32):
and then I I really shut myself up.
That. Foot.
Tastes so good. Yeah, I.
Put I put my big fat foot in my mouth.
How that fresh pedicure taste man.
Tastes like Polish. Answer the question I I.
Don't think I have any further critical analysis to offer.

(45:56):
More critical analysis. I have.
One. Oh boy, here we go.
So when Law and Hawkins like first square up and he has like
the straw mask on, right? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, before he. Even took the mask off, like I
know he recognized it by the tattoo, but it's like just
fucking look at him like he's got the fucking like hem of his

(46:22):
fucking pirate flag on his kimono.
That is true. Yeah.
Law is really. He's carrying a very
distinguished sword, and he has a hem of a bear and a cross
thing on it. Like brother, why did it take
you so long to realize? I will.
Say it is funny that Law is getting upset about the lack of

(46:46):
conspicuousness and he's literally wearing his Jolly
Roger on his Komoda. Like literally wearing his Roger
on his Komoda. What are you doing brother to
add more? Insult to it.
Why the surprise Pikachu face from him when he's like my mask
is but he knows who I am. It's like bitch you literally

(47:06):
just said room. That is also true.
It's like, man, I should probably not announce my anime
attacks if I want to keep my identity secret, right?
Room. Damn it.
Damn it, I did it again. Did it?
Again, I got to stop doing that.I just can't stop.
I don't know what comes over me.I just have to tell them.

(47:28):
Could you imagine? An anime where like the
characters aren't that self aware, like where it's like ah,
like like the classic like, you know, saying room and it's like
damn it, I did it again. But I have to in order to use my
power. This is so stupid.
I mean, I think they've done it in one piece of what's like, why
would I announce my attack after, like somebody said, like

(47:49):
you just punched me out of nowhere and and like somebody
was like, yeah, why would I announce it ahead of time and
somebody else goes. That's actually a really good
point. Or they definitely did the live
action. I remember that bit that
definitely happened. Like I think Zorro and Luffy got
got into an argument about that where Luffy's like, why don't
you like call out your special move?
He's like, why would I announce the move and Luffy's like

(48:10):
because it's fun dumb fucking bit.
But all right, moving on then with no other important tasks at
hand. Gabe's fun facts.
Unfortunately, there are none this week.
I'm sure we will have some of the near future.
Moving on from that, next week will be 9/09 to 9/12.
Moving on to quotes. Who's got quotes?
Oh, I. Have one quote go ahead that I

(48:32):
forgot to write down, but thankfully I have the moment
saved on the episode Lightning Color.
It's when after basically everything's been settled for
these sort of episodes, the townis eating specifically Tama and
Luffy's looking on. And Tama's just like elated by
this apple. She's like, bro, this is the
best birthday ever. And Luffy goes, don't set the
bar too low. I'll make it your everyday life

(48:55):
by the time we leave this country.
I'll make it a place where you can eat as much as you want.
This is my best birthday ever and it's all thanks to you.
Tama, this feast isn't special. I'm going to make this a normal
thing. I swear that by the time we
leave Juano, it'll be a place where you can eat as much as you

(49:17):
want every day. That shit hit so good bro I.
Love that. How did she not?
Get depressed though after that because she immediately had a
flashback to Ace saying the samething.
I mean, She cheered. Up.
I feel like she teared up but then.
It didn't happen when Ace said that.
Well, no. She was excited when Ace said
it, but like then you know, thenLuffy said it and then she
simultaneously is excited but then also remembers Ace which

(49:40):
makes her choke up a little bit.It's a.
Whirlwind of emotions mixed feelings mixed back.
Yeah, she's like oh man, cool. Big Brother is back Part 2.
Like oh man, I remember Big Brother #1 though that shit kind
of sad. Well.
Big Brother #1 was also on fire.That was a funny bit where she
was, I mean, I won't say funny, but it's it's just a fun
acknowledgement that she's like big bro Looby, you, you, you're

(50:03):
that was just like Ace. And then he was like, wait,
what'd you say? And she's like nothing like,
yeah, kid. Believe it or not, that move was
inspired by a good old fire fist.
So this. Begs the question, is Tama ever
going to find out about a Luffy's relationship with Ace
Dude I. Hope she doesn't actually.
I think it's better if she doesn't.
I don't know if I like. That I don't know.
I. Think she's going to deduce a

(50:24):
couple things Luffy's going to He has a big mouth, he's.
Keeping the lips pretty tight. Heeled so far.
I don't know, man. Well, I don't think he's.
Tight lipped. I just think he has like no like
explaining his relationship to Ace doesn't add anything to
their relationship so he he has no need like if she asks but
like why in a fist? Fight Luffy definitely could be
like you did not just talk shit about Ace no one's.

(50:46):
Talking shit about Ace though. Who's talking shit about Ace in
this arc yet? Does anyone?
Even know Ace in this arc there could be.
Five people there could. Be 5 total people I mean.
Listen, if Ace visited the island, surely there's at least
one person who was still alive when he visited.
It's it's like 10 years ago Max.Not even right?
Nah. He killed them all for sure.
Not even. Tom was like what, 8 years old

(51:07):
now? It's been like maybe 2 years it
has. Presumably been roughly 2 years.
This was, I guess, like right before he went on his mission to
hunt down Blackbeard or whatever.
I don't know, 2 1/2? Years, give or take.
Yeah, probably something like that.
I have a quote, it was after Luffy and Kiku and Zorro move

(51:29):
out and he pulls his sword out and Zorro in the back goes
through the scabbard again. Surprise.
Where's Tom give a? Fuck now.
And he threw the damn scabbard again.

(51:52):
Yes, of course. I remember that scene.
And I'm like, poor Zorro, he's living in personal samurai hell.
Please. Luffy, let me see the sword.
I love that. Like he like totally got over it
for a while and then after he was like, yeah, you don't even
fucking use it, right. Actually, now that we're on the
subject again, can I see that sword already?

(52:13):
And then Luffy's like, now that's not, but it's.
Not it's not yours, stupid. You like soft?
It did. Soft steal it.
My only other quote is speed going.
Of course I'm not going to eat that dongo.
Although actually, you want to keep me dongo?
It's really yummy. Shove it.
You're crazy if you think I'm eating that.

(52:33):
Where did that even come from? I won't eat it, you hear me?
I refuse. On second thought in the sheer
absurdity of it, I can't help but laugh.

(52:54):
You literally walked yourself into the bed like there was no
gimmicks. We didn't like, you know, do a
new stop where we shoot it into your mouth and do you like like
fuck around? We literally handed it to you
and you said no and then yes. Like my?
Good friend says horses are dumbhorses.
To be dumb, Apparently they're like.

(53:14):
Although actually that is a snack I haven't eaten before.
What if it's good my only? Quote is just going to be a
speed, you know, hurt, laughing.Tick that.
Was. Delicious.
All right, bastard. Let's.
Go exactly. Yeah, just laughing like a

(53:37):
fucking horse. I love that shit.
All right, moving on to the Golden Ham, I mean.
Speed, speed, speed. Really.
Speed, speed, speed, speed, speed, speed the wagon speed I
was going to. Throw Luffy in the ring.
But like, I guess if we're just feeling speed, I.
Also feel you, because Luffy diddid kind of do the thing.

(53:58):
He was he was doing it this week.
Yeah, I kind of feel it. Yeah, he was doing.
It this week but also. Speed Wagon, even though that's
not her name. Speed.
Wagon best girl. Oh my God, we're literally just
giving it to our waifus again. We're we're we're back.
Whoa, whoa. Whoa all the way.
I I have not made a firm choice here.
Technically that makes me a tiebreaker, but someone needs to

(54:19):
tie break my tiebreaker. What?
But how? Funny would it be to have
Speedwagon from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure be the clip I don't.
Think that that's going to happen?
I I. Don't want that to happen I
think unless you Photoshop SpeedWagon's face on Speed's body
that would be. Kind of funny.
Would it be a speed speed wagon?A speed.

(54:41):
Speed Wagon that would be their full.
Name Full legal name Hello Name Speed Speed Speed Wagon speed.
Speed. Wagon Speed.
Speed Wagon, like, oh, why didn't you just give me your
full name the first time? And they're like, no, you don't
understand. I did.
It's speed. Speed Wagon.
I don't know who to vote for. Somehow speed.

(55:03):
Speed, speed, speed, speed, brother.
I don't know what to tell you got to You got to be the
decision maker in your own heartall.
Right, hold on. Where's where's my quarter?
All right, heads of speed. No, no, we're.
Going to do it random. We're doing numbers, all right.
We're doing it the old fashionedway.
Fuck your coin. That's the old fashioned way.
Yeah, we're going to numbers, brother.

(55:23):
I typed in instead of random number generator.
I just typed in the word numbersin my search bar.
Numbers give up to me, Mason. What are the numbers?
He he's going back to where it all started.
Number prime. All right, one to five, Devin,

(55:44):
choose a #3 All right, I choose two.
I got it. It's two.
It's fucking 2 on the dot, baby.Loopy wins.
Bullshit. Speed Wagon best girl get
robbed. So much fucking better.
Oh, that felt good. That felt fucking good.
I needed that. I needed that for me.

(56:04):
It's been a rough week at the office.
My man needs to win and the biggest one I could get is
number. Perfect, here we go.
That's what I'm saying brother. Thank you.
I needed this. I got you, Luffy.
You know, I think you might havefallen behind Zorro for like

(56:25):
most golden hams, possibly at some point in time.
This is for you, my boy. You deserve to be up there.
I got to check. Up on that, actually, I got to
update that. It's been a while.
All right, moving. On from Golden Ham moving on to
fan mail. Do we have fan mail?
I got. That I got this Oh.

(56:47):
We do it all. Righty here we got a letter
slash quiz from Zach. What?
A letter slash quiz. Love that, Zach.
Writes hello members with the lime.
Hello. Hi, I'm sorry about last time
bread boy that was made without you in mind, but also
autocorrect had other plans to make up for that.
This one is worth 2 fan art tokens.

(57:09):
Oh shit. Oh, fan art.
Let's go. Wait, who's this from, Zach?
Makes quizzes. This is from Zach.
The one that, for context, made the Kaido fishing Jack out of
the Grand Line at one point in time.
Oh, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're playing for fan art tokens.
They're going to make fan art for us if we win.
This may be the last of the namepun questions because I'm also

(57:31):
stumped because you guys got to say the names enough times to
stop sounding like a name. Well, hold on.
I'm. Going to remind Devin what this
game is. Devin, do you know what this
game is? Not a clue.
OK, He's going to give us a pun,a statement or a question or
whatever. The answer to the statement is
always the name of a character. But just saying, the name of
said character in and of itself is like a double entendre.

(57:53):
It's a name, but it's also the answer to the statement slash
question What? But it's a One Piece character's
name you have to complete. The pun.
And to complete the pun you haveto name a character that fits
the pun. Correct speed.
Wagon No. OK.
You know, move on, go on to that.
Go go move to the question. The question.
Is as follows. First question easy.
Allegedly. I know Dragon Ball Z is long but

(58:16):
blank, but hint character here is a single named character.
No last name, only one name. Arlong.
No damn, but kind of close. What?
Say that one more time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Say. The pun again, I know.
Dragon Ball Z is long but blank.Second hint, this character is

(58:38):
technically present and Arwano are.
Technically present, I don't think he's.
Made an appearance yet, But like, he's here.
That's not fair. Not me.
Like, you know of him. It's like saying, yo, we haven't
run to USOP yet. Yeah.
I think he's saying like, you know the character, they're
supposed to be here, but they'renot like on your screen actively
at this present moment in time. Dragon Ball Z Remember?

(58:59):
Dragon Ball Z? Yes.
X-ray. But X dragon is dragon and I
just say it is dragon X. Dragon.
No, no, hold on. Is there a?
Dragon. Well, is Dragon for like, you
know, Luffy's dead. I don't think he is.

(59:23):
I have to throw it out. I can't think of it.
I got nothing, no. No, no, I let me cook.
Let me think, he says. Well, let me cook.
I like puzzles. I want to thank.
OK, here we go. Dragon Ball Z is long but.
Is it a? Japanese pun.
Or is it like it's just? The name of a character from One

(59:44):
Piece. So if you say their name, it'll
just sound like the answer to a pun.
Not me, no. But that was.
The answer to a former one OK. Because that was, you know,
girth joke. Nah, me, I'm long.
I got. I still got nothing.
It's not Trafalgar Law, it's not, I don't know man.
I got nothing the 1st. Clue was that it's just their

(01:00:06):
first name. It's only.
One name, like the character only has one name.
It's not like you know a first and last name.
It's just a single word name. OK.
Single word name like Arlong. Arlong's not the answer, but
like, Arlong is his name. That's it.
Nothing else. OK.
OK, All right, I. Don't want to stay here all day.
We do have to move on. Moved on to the next question.
Remember when? Zach said it was easy.

(01:00:27):
The answer is Kaido. I know Dragon Ball Z is long,
but Kaido? Kaido.
Yeah. Because Dragon Ball Z Kai.
I should have had that. Yeah.
No, that's that's fair. All right.
He said. This one's slightly harder, but
I have faith in you guys from the next one, OK?
I'm ready. Which character is best at
basketball? Best at.

(01:00:48):
Basketball ex Drake there's no. Fucking way.
Is it right or? Wrong.
No. It's so wrong, Brendan.
You're letting me down here, buddy.
Oh, OK. Sorry, sorry, damn it, I'm up.
I bet was that was I the animal for that?
Yes, you guys are letting. Me down here.
Yikes. Drake's a rapper, yeah, Among
other things. That's right.

(01:01:09):
He did get was playing basketball on that show.
He did, yeah. It was a Degrassi, no?
Yeah, and then he got a wheelchair, say the putt again,
which. Character is best at basketball.
Hint but. He just choked because.
I'm so flabbergasted that you guys are stumped on this.

(01:01:31):
Really. I, I guys, I'm trying here man.
Why you? Why you flagging me?
Listen, these can get hard. These were hard the last time we
did them. I only got like 1.
And then to be fair, when I had the answers, I got real fucking
up in my shit. It's a.
Pun. That's the problem.
It's a. Pun.
It's got to be like ball related, OK.
OK, OK, think of the jersey #24 I can do that 20. 4I have.

(01:01:57):
It is there, Michael Jordan. No, but you're close.
You're close, but you're gettingthere.
OK. Is it in this arc?
No. OK.
I'm going to go with a big fat gnaw on that one.
It sounds like Jordan, George, Jord, Oh, Jord, who's good at
basketball. Michael, you have.

(01:02:19):
The right line of thinking of it's a pro player.
Oh. Fuck, we don't know sports,
Kobe. Bro Kobe.
Kobe. Oh no.
That is easy. I'm an idiot.
I've. Never been more disappointed in
either one of you before in my life, God.
Damn it, he's so right. I should have, I don't know,

(01:02:42):
sports, OK. Moving on the next question
where these get genuinely hard? I don't think we're going to get
it. Dude, what did?
The farmer shout when Luffy rodeoff with his prize bowl into
Windmill Village Moosie. Don.
Quixote. No to both of those.
Road is prized bull. Into the windmill, all right.

(01:03:04):
The hint here is that the character is from Windmill
Village. They're one of my favorite
characters. Whoop slap.
No it is not. Whoop, slap to.
Don. No, no to.
Don wasn't in Windmill Village, I thought.
No, she. Wasn't in with.
Yeah, that's true. She wasn't in the village, she
was in the mountains. I don't know any of the
characters that were named there.
Macano. There we go.

(01:03:25):
Oh, did I get it? Yes, I, I.
Just made people in one mill village.
Why is that the answer? Congratulations, you did it OK.
Wow, 11 baby one. Let's go.
Macau. No.
Macano. Oh my God.
Macano. Macano.
Well. OK.
I will say I appreciate the effort.
I do see the vision. Macano would be like Macau.

(01:03:49):
No, there's no O in Maca. No, at least not in that area.
So that's a little misleading. But I understand the vision.
I do I I get it. That's why.
It's a pun that's true. That is true.
I think I'm I'm I'm being salty.All right, last question.
I think this is closer to just the actual name than the pun on
the name. How would an Italian complain

(01:04:10):
about his pig being too thin? Bongiorno.
Porcellini. Bon Clay?
No. Devin was close.
Oh, Borselino, yes. I said.
Barcelino. Well, you said.
It wrong, first of all, but we both get it because we're here
too long anyway. No, he.
Said it, I'll give it to him, hesaid Borselino.
Well shit, that means we tie thepics.
So thin. Borselino.

(01:04:31):
Porcelino. All right.
Thanks for playing whoever got the most answers right.
Get fan or tokens. I'll be revamping the quiz next
time. Speed.
Speed wagon, speed speed wagon, I feel.
Like we have to split down the middle, each of us always get a
token because we're both big dumb idiots who both got 1
sounds. Good to me.
Zach Speed, Speed Wagon. OK.

(01:04:52):
We've got it Zach, when you listen to this, I'll DM you in
the discord when I decide what my fan art will be, I guess give
this. Man an expiration date for his
token before he hoards it for a century.
I'm not going to do. That all right if I get it for
legs? Yeah, we don't want that
generational wealth of speed tokens.
Got it. After that riveting

(01:05:15):
conversation, by the way, just absolutely riveting stuff.
Anything else to the fan mail, Justin?
Nope. That's it.
Thanks, Zach. All right.
Moving on to the goo goo garb gab now.
I have the bag, OK, Because, youknow, you guys weren't here, so
I've been coveting it. So I think Georgia, Brandon,

(01:05:36):
I'll do it. May I ask something?
No, you know. Fair enough.
Let me stick my hand in. Oh, oh, hey, no, this is nice.
We got candy. Oh, thanks, Devin.
I appreciate that. Just gave you some.
Just got some. Nice brother.
Why you got fucking saltwater taffies in here?
You don't. Nobody likes those.
I think it. Fits for what?

(01:05:58):
Why is it fit, you know? Why?
Ruining my fucking day as usual.This is the closest.
Thing to kibi dongle you can find is that the answer?
Is it is a Kibi dongle? Jason at Knoll all right.
Anyway, inside this wrapper, thefuck this stupid taffy, I don't
want that. Inside this wrapper is career

(01:06:18):
day. What does it say in the dotted
line? It says horse, horse, smile,
fruit. Oh.
Spicing it up. OK, we're doing a career day on
a smile fruit this week. Well, my first.
Go to immediate reaction is farmer because then you could
till your own fields. I was just.
Going to say I feel like the problem with this fruit is that

(01:06:40):
horses are already workers in like real world OK.
See, you're you're right. And so here's what I was
thinking, right? Go ahead.
So in in New York. City and maybe other parts of
the world, but particularly New York City around the Central
Park area. They have like a whole business
of horse back, buggy rides, carriages, whatever, right?
Yeah, they're real. Popular amongst tourists,

(01:07:00):
they've been slowly but surely become like 1.
They're frowned upon for like poor treatment of horses and all
that. And I think it's like slowly
becoming illegal. What if this person circumvents
all those issues by being a sentient horse, a horse with
their own agency, that there can't be any abuse because it's
just you are the horse. You are choosing to do carriage
rides through the park and what not.

(01:07:21):
I, I. Understand what you're saying,
but all you've done is just state the obvious and then
justified it. I I don't need you to justify an
obvious answer. I want you to give me an answer
that'll surprise me. OK, let me.
Let me cook, Let me cook, OK? That's all I'm saying.
You know what a hard job is thatcould probably use the help of a

(01:07:44):
horse but can't because of OSHA?Yeah, construction, I mean.
Construction is an easy one all the time, I feel like.
Plus, like, what? What does a horse bring to the
table? Like, I mean, So what, they're
they're going to haul heavy things.
Yeah. And pull some sleighs, some
sleds, or whatever. Yeah, we're especially stuff
where, you know, you can't fit like a a backhoe in where's the.

(01:08:06):
Creativity where's like, you know what I want?
I want a barista horse. I want my horse to make me
coffee. I want to, I want the back story
of this person to be, you know, my parents always told me I
wouldn't amount to anything if Ididn't commit to hard labor.
But you know what? I went to college, I got a
liberal arts degree. And then I decided to open up my

(01:08:29):
own coffee stand. And now I'm in debt like the
rest of you. Yeah, they decided that.
Well, yeah, they decided that with their liberal arts degree.
I want to suspend my disbelief. I want a horse person to to live

(01:08:50):
their dreams as welcome to. Horse Starbucks, What can I get
you? Exactly.
Thank you. You get it.
Wait, no, it's Starbucks. Because it's a horse that's
bucking them off. It's Star.
Star Nay, no, nay, nay, Bucks. I I can't, I can't think of
anything har. Nay Asano.

(01:09:13):
Oh my God, it's a food truck. Professional chef Yes, they own
a food truck. Thank you.
They're in the culinary business.
A food. Truck that she tows around
because it's a whole gimmick carne asada.
Now we're fucking talking. It writes itself.

(01:09:37):
The brand give me like she wouldbe the best astronaut.
I'm sorry. They would be the best astronaut
because they can walk the best or some stupid shit on the moon.
They'd be the best mood Walker. You know what?
I. Was thinking about but before we
came upon the perfect answer by accident.
Yeah, they would make a great like Postal Service mail

(01:09:59):
carrier, right, right. Particularly in like the really,
really weird areas of America. So, so by law, the Postal
Service has to deliver to your home no matter where you live.
And some people live in the really weird outskirts of town.
People live in swamps, right? I don't know if people lived in
the Grand Canyon, but they live in like similarish terrains
where it's just like really hardto get to you.

(01:10:22):
So I'm thinking a horse person over here could be the star of
the show for getting to these really weird areas.
Like I'm thinking of like someone who lives up in the
mountains. They got to get their mail
delivered. Hold on.
It's it's a horse person that gives out, serves like you've
been served like their whole jobis to get pardon me.

(01:10:44):
Sir, you've been served. Hi is your.
Name Doug? Yep, you've been served.
You know if I. Got served a lawsuit paper or
affidavit or subpoena whatever what have you from a horse
person. I feel like that was soften the
blow this feels like. A Tom and Jerry bit like a
fucking horse knocks on the front door with a telegram and

(01:11:04):
like Tom answers it and he goes you have been served cease and
desist papers from one Jerry andthen just fucking gallops into
the sunset and then Tom is like,well, fuck me, dude.
I thought we were I thought we were friends.
We were just, we were just having fun.
And then like the whole episode goes with him.
Legal loop holing around it, yeah.

(01:11:25):
Yeah, obviously the classic Tom and Jerry, you know, punch
lines. Yeah.
But no carne asada food truck, Yeah, that wins.
By speed. Speedwagon that hit in the.
Sweet and a spot right there. I love that for us Carne asada,
you own a food truck horse person and you're making.
Some bomb ass tacos you're making.

(01:11:45):
Some bomb they could also. Be a Glue CEO.
No, I think no, I do know why you said that.
Yeah, they make a, you know, really powerful Gorilla Glue.
Yeah, OK. Oh, no.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on, hold on. OK, this is a dumb idea, but

(01:12:07):
it's my dumb idea so I love it. There are no dumb.
Ideas. Go ahead, Floor's yours.
What? If this person during the
business of making luxury horseshoes.
So a. Farrier.
I'm talking to Louis Vuitton, the Balenciaga horseshoes.
Okay, yeah, no, I like it I likeit so they're.

(01:12:28):
An upscale farrier got it. So hey, it sounds like that
liberal arts degree that they got didn't go to waste after
all. With a minor in blacksmithing.
You know they took it as a people elective courses.
Yeah, man, the one somewhere abroad in Wisconsin really

(01:12:49):
played. That's what I'm saying dude, I
feel like. Wyoming would be a better.
I don't know shit about America.I don't know where we make
anything in this country. Wyoming.
Literally used the horseshoe as like their state emblem.
So I think, I think Devin's got that one.

(01:13:11):
That's awesome, actually, hold on that that's that's a cool fun
fact. Well, I.
I'm not I'm not saying it like it is literally their state
emblem, but they practically do use it like a state emblem this
much as facts so. Wyoming Home of the Horseshoe.
Home of the Horseshoe. Brother, they think that they
are the Old West and no one elsehas ever been the Old West at
any other point in American history.

(01:13:32):
It was only ever Wyoming. Every western film Wyoming,
meanwhile. Half this country can't even
tell you where Wyoming is. Anyway I could point?
You Wyoming on a map. I just, you know, I.
Shark and I've been there. Once it was fine.
Did you get a? Horseshoe, I did not get a.
Horseshoe, but I saw plenty of them.
They they wouldn't say let him take one home.

(01:13:53):
I'm telling you, they use them like a state envelope that
they're they're on all the the advertisements, branding, it's
fucking everywhere over there. I'm not that's that.
That part is not a joke. But anyway, I think we've beaten
this dead horse enough. First the straw man argument now
being dead horses. What's next?
Listen. Man, I'm always, I'm full of
them. Every week we're going to try to
come up with something new. Every fucking week.
