(00:00):
So Justin, it's going to be a dual cast today.
How you doing buddy? You know, I I survived my
Monday. I don't think I could save the
rest for anyone really. Oh, did you, did you also break
out of prison today? In my mind, yes, I broke out of
my mental prison. You broke out of your mental
prison. Well, this bit went a little bit
differently. Now it feels a little bit more
like philosophical. But hey, why don't we talk

(00:20):
about? Let's talk about that.
What? What?
What part of your mental prison did you did you break out of
today? The 6th and 7th layers.
The 6th and 7th layers. Yeah, so, so like it's not quite
Dante Inferno slash impelled down levels of of like

(00:40):
complexity and and security, butthere there's definitely layers
to to my mind prison. I am really channelling the Zach
Galifianakis meme right about now as I am listening to you try
to describe what you meant when you said I broke out of my mind.
Prison. The 6th and 7th layers.

(01:01):
OK, can you do me a favor? Can you label the layers and
what part of them did you? What do you mean you broke out
of them? What?
What are levels one through 7? Actually, I don't even want to
give you that much homework. Tell me what level 6 and seven
are and what makes you break outof them.
OK, so like what's funny is thatmy mind is very unique and I
can't tell what's up or down sometimes, right?

(01:21):
So I don't know if I'm descending or ascending.
Like I, I don't know if you haveto break out by digging deeper
or digging upward, you know, to,to be determined.
But what I can tell you is level7 was basically like the Tron
universe and it felt like a really complex game of Pong.
Right. Of course, that I just had to
and then level 6 is surprising enough.

(01:43):
It's me and the copies of me, but but they're all different
personalities. And it and it, it was eerily
reminiscent of that game we all used to play and, and Jordy kind
of made us hate. Yeah, yeah, overcooked.
Overcooked. Yeah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
It was like overcooked. Right, of course.
Because despite never working inthe restaurant industry, my my
6th level of mental prison. Really wants me to be there.

(02:04):
I feel like so so gave me the overcooked treatment.
What are you? Talking about what does this
mean? OK, Justin, love with me here.
Are we doing a bit or are we doing like a soul searching
philosophical thought experiment?
You need to I I can't meet you on both ends of the spectrum
simultaneously. Why can't it be both?

(02:24):
Because I, I, I, I can't quantify what it means to break
out. What does it mean to break out
of overcooked mentality? Explain that to me, you know?
Sometimes people are just like bogged down.
They're too stuck in their head,right.
And in order to break free from that, you got to, you know, I
mean, I don't know how to describe breaking free.
It's such a a metaphorical slashexistential that.
Was literally my only question. I mean, it's not like, I mean,

(02:47):
it's like is there for everybody, man.
Like some people could just be like, all right, cool.
I'm stuck in my own thoughts. I'm spiraling.
I'm circling the drain. I'm just going to fucking walk
out of here and just like, be free.
I'm circling the drain me right now.
You are making me circle the drain.
I I, my drains are just a littlebit more complicated.
It's got levels of shit. Oh, yeah, you, you have drains
like on the walls, on the ceiling maybe.

(03:08):
Like we don't even know how the water gets up there, but it
does. It sure does.
Exactly. Exactly.
Right. OK, You know, I, I don't even
know why I ask the questions that I ask.
Why are we put on this earth? You know, to suffer, I think,
because let's see here, Christian lost his voice.
OK, You were given hives. Oh that, oh that stinks.

(03:29):
This is true. I I did suffer from some hives
this past weekend. And I had a day at work where I
felt like anything I touched exploded in the lab, the capsule
machine, the capsules themselves.
I did drop a couple vials, I didknock over some ingredients to
anything else I like. Almost broke.
Some beakers, maybe. I don't know.
It was just bad day at the office.

(03:49):
Oh well. And then there was Devin.
You know, he, he, he's serving the people in form of Mega
Millions and gasoline. He's got the the raccoons around
him, He's got trash pandas. He's high.
Yeah, although Devin did send mea message on on to to spread
aloud on his behalf. And I quote just give me an
honorable mention stating that Devin missed out this week due

(04:10):
to hearing a Japanese voice actor saying Devin Sama causing
him to pass out due to blood loss via nostril.
End Quote. So he watched the episodes, but
he, he wasn't able to be here this evening.
I guess so. Oh, that's crazy.
Well, you know, Speaking of the episodes, we do actually have a
One Piece podcast, believe it ornot.
We, we, we should probably go tothe go to the summary.
Let me make sure I'm still recording.
Yeah, you go do that and I'm going to go check on my.

(04:32):
Laundry. Imagine if that last 60 minutes
of brain rot wasn't recorded. Maybe we'd have to throw out
this whole fucking podcast, wouldn't we, Justin?
Justin, You didn't respond to me, Justin.
OK, I'm going to read the summary 9/17 and 9/19 this week.

(04:57):
We keep things rather brief as we focused on three major plot
points. First, we take a brief pause on
Wano developments and check in with the World mid Reverie.
Turns out Gecko Moria survived the Paramount War since he's
currently invading Pirate Islandlooking for his long lost pal
Absalom. There's some twists and turns
that we'll touch upon later, butover on Mihawks Island we

(05:19):
learned that there's been some type of major development during
the Reverie, something that's convinced the Warlord to
consider jumping ship. Back on Wano, we bounce around
from each of our allies as everyone does their part to plan
for the raid. While Shinobu and Nami are
sneaking around on reconnaissance, the others are
seemingly on recruitment duty, with each crew having their own

(05:39):
unique ways of doing so. Lastly, we check back in with
Luffy and Kidd, and they're doing absolutely fine, truly
making the best out of their prison sentences.
I fully expect them to become reformed members of Wano's
society in no time. I wonder what Act 2 of Wano has
in store for us. Dude imagine if we get done with
the end of like Guano act 2 and it's just Luffy and Kid being

(06:01):
like honestly like maybe we wantto join Kaido after all.
That's the reform. You know, I could see that for
Kid. I don't know if I see that for
Luffy. You see that for kid?
Really. Listen, my man has he's lost an
arm. He's been absolutely waffle
stopped by the man known as Kaido.
Like, I mean literally. Listen, Hawkins joined him.

(06:22):
I don't know if anyone else has joined him.
X-ray joined him and I don't know if there's anything else
beyond that. I'm just saying there's a lot
of, what do you call them, worstgeneration people joining the
Kaido bandwagon and maybe kid isthe next one up.
I don't. Know I hear you, but also
literally his line was at the end of last week's episodes was
I will get you Kaido or I'll geteven with you Kaido or something

(06:44):
to that effect. Like he he mirrored Luffy.
I don't it like if Luffy. 'S listen, there was plenty of
time for him to have a change ofheart he's.
Going to have a change of heart.I don't know, dude.
I think he's, I think he's just as stubborn.
He's going to be in the same position that Luffy was in like
2 weeks ago and be like, yeah I don't want the smoke bro.
Just just give me a smile. We'll, we'll call it even, you
know, give. Me a smile.

(07:04):
He's already got a double fruit.He can't eat a smile.
Do we know that? Do we know for sure?
No what for sure. That if you eat a double fruit,
you can't have the effects of a smile.
Fruit. I mean, I'm just going to go off
on normal logic that you can't have two double fruits in the
same system, my guy. I mean, I, I have to imagine
that. I I hear you but smiles aren't
exactly the most perfected form of devil fruit here.

(07:25):
So like if anyone was able to fail upwards it would be Caesar
Clown and it would be someone with the devil fruit would also
be able to have the powers of a smile fruit.
I don't like the idea of there being a smile and paramecia
powered individual. That just hurts my brain.
Can we not do that? I hate this idea.
I'm just saying, man, what was that guy's name from?

(07:46):
Finzo, Sheep's Head, Sheep's Bay, whatever the fuck that
guy's name. Sheep's head Sheep's head I.
Think you know, Mr. Horn for hands would be I don't know.
I I think any other Dover fruit power, traditionally speaking,
you'd be looking kind of sick. All right, like like imagine gum
gum. I mean it can't be gum gum, but
imagine in the world where lootism is this gum gum a pistol
but with, you know, ram horn at the end of it.

(08:07):
Yeah, yeah, right. Actually, Speaking of sheep's
head, this is actually a a somewhat good segue.
You know, one of the things we did get in these set of episodes
is we finally officially met King and Queen, which is really
wild because this is canonicallyin like like the manga chapter
where we met King and Queen. However, this is not the first
anime appearance we've had of King and Queen.

(08:30):
I don't know if you knew this. I had to do a double take in one
of the episodes after meeting Kaido Dragon Kaido.
It explains like it's like rightaround when like Jack came
around, it shows like the army of Kaido and like the the like
their, their, their forces or whatever.

(08:51):
And literally King and Queen arejust marching in this like
single file line with the rest of Kaido's goons.
And I'm just like they're we're we're showing king and queen in
this set of episodes. I I honestly wouldn't believe
it. I was like, what are we doing
people? So apparently at some point, and
I didn't even realize this, the anime basically chose to show

(09:15):
King and Queen early before their official canonical
releases in this set of episodesthat we were supposed to get
where we actually get a little bit of like personality behind
them because they actually have voice lines and like drive and
mirror. And I, I was wondering if anyone
was going to catch it the week that we had it and no one said a
fucking thing. So I just like moved right past.

(09:37):
It I certainly did not catch it,obviously.
I will show the clip or at leasta still image of the clip and
like bring it into the discord or something because I think
that that's just fucking wild. The fact that the anime was
like, yeah, look, let's just have King and Queen in this
marching lineup or whatever and then just like not say anything
about it and only the people whoknow are going to know.
And it's like, yeah, but also why did you do that?

(09:58):
The. World may never know.
The world may never know, but the reason why Sheepshead is
relevant. So you know, it's a sad thing,
Justin, not having our resident,our resident newbies on this
week, whether it be Devin or Christian.
I think it's finally time that you and I explained to the
audience a little bit of the themotif with Kaido's crew, because

(10:19):
at no point did Devin nor Christian ever sniff out the gag
that goes on with Kaido's crew. And what's really interesting is
when you merge the Kaido relationship with Dolph
Flamingo. So for those that are unaware,
Kaido does in fact have Jack as one of his subordinates, which,
you know, at first glance doesn't really mean a whole lot.

(10:40):
But when you throw King and Queen into the mix, you're like,
oh, he's got cards as his guys. That makes sense.
And then you go the extra mile and you think about Doflamingos
crew, who is otherwise known as Joker.
And then all of his major performers were, you know, the
heart spade the the club or whatever more card related shit.

(11:03):
But what's also even funner is that all of these smile users
that don't have like one of those stupid names like Batman
or or Gazelle Man. All the Smile users are also
named after card games, believe it or not.
Right. Oh shit.
Right, including sheep's head. Hold em.
What? Speed and Dobon, who we just got

(11:28):
in this set of episodes. Those are card games.
What the fuck? These are all card games.
I promise you, Google every single one of them.
They're all card. Games.
Fucking Christ. I mean, hold up is easy because
it's just Texas hold'em. Yeah, yeah, obviously.
Speed. I'm sure you've played before
that's that's a pretty common one.
Never heard of it. You've never played speed before
dude, you're crazy. Not that I know of.
That's wild. OK, well speed is very popular.
Unless I know it by a different.Name.
I don't think it has any other name other than Speed, to be

(11:50):
totally honest with you. There's also Doban that we got
in the set of episodes, and thenSheep's Head is also its own
game. Sheep's Head being a card game
is interesting. Yeah, just Google it.
But it's very fun to me that allthe smile users that are not
like dumb smile usernames, they're all card games.
So apparently Kaido, you know, he woke up one day and was like,
I have an identity and I am going to stick to that shit like

(12:11):
glue. He has an identity, he's super
individual. Everyone else of his crew, You
guys are part of sets, part of atheme.
Yeah, yeah. You're a part of a theme.
You're definitely in a theme. Also, this is just a personal
branded fun fact. At one point in time I expressed
to Christian that one of my newest favorite people that have
entered the routine dub space, Iactually was first exposed to

(12:35):
them in this area of Wano. So there was a new actor by the
name of Major. Hold on, let me look his name up
really quick. Major Addaway.
What a name, by the way, Major Addaway.
So he is the voice of none otherthan Queen.
And what's really fun about Queen, or rather about Major

(12:55):
Addaway, is that he was once thegenie in an actual Broadway
rendition performance of Aladdin.
And at some point since he's retired, he's like, you know,
picking up other jobs. And he's like, yeah, I'm just
going to start like dumping anime.
And can I tell you, brother, he's fan fucking Tastic.
He's one of my newest favorites of this entire fucking this

(13:17):
entire arc. I cannot wait to have more fun
with Queen because Major Attawayis my spirit animal.
He's right next to Sunny Straight.
Let me tell you right now for those keeping track at home,
that play that that guy plays Usopp.
But just fun facts. Just an actual fun facts.
Incredible. And I can't wait to see more
about Queen. That's that's pretty much the

(13:37):
whole crew. That's that's all the that's all
the crew stuff I wanted to get into.
You know, we jumped a little bitahead, but maybe we should start
with where we actually started on these set of episodes with
the Moria Emperona subplot. A probably makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to Corona.
Shout out to a new Q HD updated Corona.
Q HD updated. With her bangs.
You know, when I when I heard that Jordy might make an

(13:58):
appearance tonight, in my mind Iwas just like, brother, he's
going to come here just because Corona is here for sure.
What could have been, bro? What could have been what?
Could have been what could have been, but why don't you recap
for us what what happened duringthe Corona Mihawk shit.
OK, so 917 opens up, entering Kuragana Island, I think his
name of it, where Mihawk resides, along with Corona.

(14:18):
Mihawk's reading the paper. There's some big news happening
at the Reverie, and it's got Mihawk.
You know, for a Mihawk, I would say spooked, but he doesn't sell
it like he spooked. He's just concerned, I guess,
mildly. And then Corona, you know, she's
doing cutesy Corona things, baking him breakfast, and then
they're squabbling about it. And then she notices in the
paper that it says that Moria isover at full LED Beehive Pirate

(14:42):
Island where pirates love to party and shit, now ruled by
Blackbeard crew. And she's like losing it because
she's like oh man. My my big my big boss, my homie
Gecko Mori. I thought he died in Marine 4
just like the fucking rest of usI think.
I don't know how he got away from Doflamingo there.
Yeah, I do find it really interesting or funny that they
were like, oh, so yeah, Doflamingo definitely killed

(15:03):
him. And then they just kind of like,
decided to write it as Nah, Nah,that's not what happened.
That's not how it went down. Maybe we'll get details about a
secret, epic battle that happened in the corner of Marine
Ford, but somehow no one managedto notice.
Yeah. Maybe I I ain't going to hold my
breath. I think the only thing that
makes sense to me is like Doflamingo was like, I mean, and

(15:23):
I was told to kill you, but I also like chaos.
So just like, you know, go away or something stupid like that.
Maybe. But yeah, before I talk about
the more of stuff, only real important thing here from
Mihawk's perspective is that he doesn't explain what happened at
the Reverie. But he said that a particular
topic was brought up that I believe has never been brought

(15:45):
up or has been brought up in a long time, and it has him
considering leaving his homelandcurrently.
And I don't know what that means.
Yes, I don't. I don't know if he's spooked or
he's just planning ahead for something.
I I don't know he Mihawk's not giving me a whole lot of body
language to read here. No actual tangible details from

(16:06):
the article, it's just as one vague thing he's mentioned.
Yeah, this is one of those unfortunate things where it's
like, like you and me know, you and me know what's going down,
but, you know, we don't want to just say it for for the audience
at home. And without Christian and Devin
to like, you know, sort of be devil's advocate and start, you
know, making guesses just for the sake of fun and whatnot.
We can't delve into it too much.But the long and short of it is

(16:29):
there are bits and pieces of information getting leaked out
of reverie as the reverie unfolds.
What is crazy, by the way? Who who's who's in those rooms
leaking info? I don't.
Think it's leaking? I think it's just like normal
info. It's like the leaders of the
world having like a daily conversation and these are the
SparkNotes. Like I think this is just like a
normal this is normal news. I don't know.
In my head I'm thinking it's just like, I think it's like a

(16:51):
closed door meeting and like nothing should be released until
it's done. And I'm like, well, they haven't
finished yet. I think that.
Feels like the opposite of how Iwant my world to function with
my leadership. I know what you're saying that
it could be like that, but like the fact that it's not I think
is better and it almost tries tosell the the illusion that this

(17:16):
is actually a free universe thatthey live.
In I guess so I was I don't knowI if other people have that
interpretation go particularly the people living in the One
Piece world. Good on you.
I I don't have that. They, they might as well have
said nothing until I don't know,they feel like saying something.
But anyway, there's that speculation.
I think it's just going to raiseproperty taxes or something.
I don't know they're going. To raise property taxes.

(17:38):
I just got to leave this Gloom Island home because this
property, say, Texas, are going to go through the roof.
He won't be able to afford it. Oh wait, I like that.
I mean, have you seen that castle?
It's I'm sure he's praying a pretty penny for that.
He's got to be. He's got to be doing something
for that castle, right? Surely.
Motherfucker lives in Nightmare Before Christmas land.
So now we're back to Gecko Moria, who was invading.

(18:01):
What do you call this fucking island?
I just call it Pirate Island butI feel like he has too many
goddamn names. OK.
It does have a few different names and I can expand a little
bit on why it has so many names.So it is known as Pirate Island.
That's like the nickname, like the Japanese name for it
translates literally to Beehive Island.

(18:21):
But the other bit with the name is that if you translate or if
you, I think like the actual Japanese kanji phonetically
comes out as full of lead. OK, Like pump you full of lead.
Yeah, it's like a double slash, triple entendre, whatever.

(18:41):
So it's like you can pronounce it either full of lead or you
can call it Beehive Island. And the reason why Beehive is
kind of funny is because, like, the pirates are like swarming
the island or whatever. Like it's like a hornet's nest
or whatever. That's kind of like the bit
they're going for. So it's actually a very layered
joke, the name of this fucking island.
But Pirate Island is fine. I've heard full of lead before
because you just you call it full of lead, pump it full of

(19:04):
lead or, or you call it beehive island because you know, the
pirates beast forming. I don't really know.
I, I think it's totally fine saying whichever one, which I
put them all, I wrote them all down here so we can talk about
it, just so that, you know, we can explain that to the
audience. But I think like sometimes the
sub will translate it as beehiveor full of lead.
I think phonetically it's literally full of lead.
Like the Japanese would pronounce it as full of lead.

(19:24):
Gotcha. But if you literally translate
full of lead, it comes out as beehive violin.
So it's like a, you know, bit ofa bit.
Gotcha, gotcha. Gotcha.
OK, well on Pirate Island, Moriais invading because he's looking
for his homie Absalom. He ain't taking no prisoners.
He's he's, he's calling out Blackbeard by his government
name, telling him to come outside.
It's like, where are you teach? Get out of here, Marshall.

(19:48):
Will the real slip? Shady, please stand up.
Meanwhile Blackbeard just big chilling with with some ladies
around his arm just sipping something nice I guess.
Sipping on gin and juice. And I, I think, yeah, he's like.
Talking from a window or on a speaker, however he's
communicating. Yeah, yeah.
You know, just yapping back to Moria.
And then Absalom shows up. He's like, hey, boss, I'm here.

(20:10):
I'm I'm Gucci gang, Gucci gang. And he's like, whoa, hey, what?
Bro? We we ever since we broke up, we
didn't hear from you. I got really worried.
He's like, Nah, man, I'm I'm chilling.
I'm big chilling with this lady around my arm.
He's like, I had so much fun here.
Like I lost track of time and I forgot to like let you know I
was OK. That's that's totally on me.
And then Moria's like, oh shit, that's all it was.
That's no big deal then. Well, great.

(20:31):
And then Moria looks around. He's like, damn, I wish I knew
that before I just started like,slaughtering people.
I kind of can't take that back. Sorry, by the way, my man.
And then they started yapping a little bit more.
And Moria's like, hey, like, be careful here.
You have a really sought after Devil fruit.
And we all know the Blackbeard Pirates are known for like,
hunting Devil fruit users. And he's like, Nah, Boss is

(20:52):
perfectly fine. And the Shiryu comes in, but
he's invisible because he has Absalom's fruit.
Yeah, and he sliced some people down, including Moria.
And then Moria goes, wait, how'dyou do that?
You have the clear fruit, but Absalom's behind me.
OK, so hold on, we're moving fast.
First of all, I think you might need to remind the folks at home
who the fuck Shiryu was in case they forgot.

(21:12):
He's bootleg Zorro for the Blackbeard pirates.
He's the sword guy, correct? Moving on.
Who was a former impo down officer and he has a sword and
he likes to go swoosh because he's blood thirsty maniac.
And Absalom is the pervy lion dude from Throw the Bark that
honestly, no one needs to remember.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then Maury is getting struck
down by Shiria, who reveals he has the clear clear fruit.

(21:32):
And he's like, wait, if you havethat, but Absalom's behind me.
And then who the fuck who? What's going on?
And then Absalom jumps off from his little perch and reveals
himself to actually be Katarina Devin in disguise because she
has the mythical Devil Fruit dogDog Model 9 tailed.
Fox Demon spirit. Yeah, kind of a mouthful, but
functionally just a a really good version of the clone or

(21:55):
just. Kitsune, that's what it's
called. Thank you Jesus.
Yeah, Kitsune, just just a rehash of the clone, clone fruit
functionally. Welcome back, north Uzumaki.
We did it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, you know, I, I feel like Katarina Devin's fruit here.
I will say I remember when we first got to this part, I was
very torn on Katarina, Devin, just the fact that we're reusing

(22:18):
the clone clone fruit. So, like just in your face, Lee?
As far as we've seen, no distinguishable difference
between that power and the and the clone clone fruit of any
nature. Like she doesn't get like fire
magical powers or whatever the fuck of Kitani actually does.
She hasn't turned. It's Kurama from Naruto.
She she just has tails that I guess you can show off if she

(22:38):
wanted to. And other than that, she just
looks like a normal person and then it turns into somebody else
and that's it. So yeah, I think I felt the same
way when this first got releasedand we're surrealed and I'm
like, what are we doing here? Why can't we just bring back
box? Yeah, why?
Can't we just bring back, I think in my mind, the number one
thing that really rubbed me the wrong way is that I don't like
the idea of reusing devil fruitsand also not having like the

(23:02):
same negative side effects. Like one of the trade-offs for
Bon Clay's fruit when we meet Bon Clay is that he needs to
touch your face with his right hand so that he can turn into
you with his left. Like, like it's like a memory
thing. Whereas right now with Katarina
Devin, I guess we don't know limitations at all.
So like, the book can still be written that there will be

(23:24):
limitations. But especially like when we
first get introduced to this chick, we're just like, oh, OK,
so she can just transform to whoever into whoever she wants,
probably whenever she wants. So it's just the clunk, clunk
fruit, but better. Cool.
Nice. That makes me a little upset.
Yeah, honestly, rightfully so. I don't know, man.
I, I don't, I don't know what Oda's plans for the future are

(23:44):
with her. I don't know if she's going to
just going to be like a Deus Ex machina type character or
whatnot. I I don't know.
God I hope not. I fucking hope not, but
hopefully ODA can surprise us ina good way.
Unfortunately, Moria does not have a good time here do.
You think she survives this too?I.
Mean probably. Let's be so fucking for real.
Like he's probably fine. My guess is that they wanted to

(24:06):
lure Moria here for a reason, which maybe they just wanted his
devil fruit. Maybe they're like, dude being
able to control shadow. That shit's kind of fire if it's
the motif. You had a good idea with the
whole undead army shit. I mean, let me take that.
Yeah, like what? What if we could do it, but
better? Blackbeard just triples down in
the darkness. He's like, listen, I control the
darkness and the shadows. Yeah, he just wants to add to

(24:29):
his fucking like darkness sort of bit that he's got going on.
I mean, I support it at this point.
Now Speaking of Blackbeard though, I will say, can I say
two things? I actually forgot just how short
this little like in between stint was between Act one and
Act 2. Same actually, I thought it was
going a little bit longer than this.
I I thought there was like a four episode stint of of in

(24:50):
between act one and act. Two, and we were very wrong.
And we were very wrong. But I do have a fun little
tidbit about Blackbeard here. So Blackbeard, he got a bounty
revealed to us on the Order. OK, thanks for bringing that up
because I couldn't even rememberif we knew this part or not.
Yeah, so he had a bounty debutedin this on the order of
2,247,600,000 berries. God damn.

(25:15):
Which is very funny for a coupleof reasons.
So I will say that the numbers are a little fucky, right?
Like they can maybe get moved one way or the other.
But the fun fact that I have here is that this is an actual
Reddit post that I, I still remember vividly when it first
this chapter first came out seven years ago.

(25:35):
So in 1716 the Blackbeard had a actual real world bounty of
around £100, right? So and that equated to roughly
19,000 $1870 in the year of our Lord 2016.

(25:55):
OK. Well, 2016 is interesting for a
couple of reasons. Number one, this chapter
officially came out I believe 2019 or like maybe just post
2020. No, I think it was 20/19.
It was like just pretty COVID. So that tells us that in 2016,
there was a really good chance that OTA already had this bounty
figured out, and it's also the 300 year anniversary of the OG

(26:19):
real world Blackbeard's bounty. Now what makes that number
interesting is that when you translate the $19,870 to yen,
you don't get the 2 billion. OK, but you get ¥2,247,600.
Wow. So what's funny though is that
all you need to do is add 3 zeros on it and you get his

(26:43):
running bounty of 2,247,600,000 doll hairs or berries or
whatever in their universe. So I just think it's kind of fun
that that little tidbit exists that ODA just kind of like as he
reintroduces Blackbeard for the first time and I don't know,
probably like nine years at thispoint.

(27:03):
Fucking. Bryce because I I'm sure that
like fucking the little like oneoff conversation that Luffy and
Blackbeard have back in like Dressrosa was probably like in
2010 in the manga or something like that.
I just find it very interesting that the the first time that he
reintroduces Blackbeard after all this time, his bounty is
literally just a funny inflated version of what his last real

(27:24):
world bounty was. Incredible.
So there you go. Fun facts.
Fun facts about Blackbeard. Here, nice.
But yeah, it's more or less whathappens on Pirate Island.
Just lots of surprises. Although Blackbeard had also
dropped some tidbits. I think he mildly touched upon
what Mihawk had mentioned earlier.
But he goes on to explain that while the reverie was happening,

(27:46):
which maybe some people might have speculated or assumed would
have happened inevitably, if at all.
But he mentions that the Revolutionary Army came into
armed conflict with mostly Fujitora.
And you know, the Marines that large I.
I don't know if he'd name dropped anyone else in
specificity. Yeah, Rio Cugue.
We do know the name of the last Marine Admiral.

(28:06):
We just don't know what he looks.
Like see the the revolution armysquares up with two Admirals,
right? And then Blackbeard just kind of
keeps going on a list of like, basically the TLDR was like,
hey, here are all these big names making moves, the power
struggle for like control of theworld or whatever he exactly is
he's alluding to. He's alive and well.
It's happening right now. And he's just like, he's like,

(28:29):
and I wonder what's going to happen from all this chaos And
fucking ultimate opportunist over here is licking his lips.
He's like, oh, I can't wait for this one domino to fall, and
then I make all the other dominoes fall and then I become
king of the world or whatever the fuck his goal is, really.
Well, he just says that he's like, everyone's trying to be
king now. He's got like, there's all these
different dominoes that are liketrying to be king.

(28:50):
And he's like all these, all these fuckers.
Well, only one guy can be at thetop.
Only one guy can win. And then then, yeah, we just get
like a like, Oh yeah. Blackbeard doing Blackbeard
monologue. I'm sure Christian and Devin
would have loved to be here thisweek during Blackbeard
monologue. We all know how much they love
Blackbeard. And they love Gecko Moria too,
two of their favorite characters.
Actually and they love Gecko Moria.

(29:12):
Honestly I do like echo Moria. I think Gecko Moria has slept on
now. I don't think he's as slept on
as like Kuma. Like Kuma I think is super slept
on. I've always thought that dude.
The ultimate sleeper pick of alltime.
Brother I I had Kuma stonks as my favorite warlord since the
fucking day I saw Dolph Flamingowalking with that weird fucking
walk back in the day before Sky Pia Kuma stonks were high.

(29:37):
You know what happened to me? I bought Kuma Bonds back in like
2012 when when he first made an appearance, I was like, oh,
that's just a cool character. And then I just kind of forgot
they existed. But then I was like oh shit I
got Kuma bonds bro. I bet they've gone like super
mega ultra plus from the war andand and economy and however the

(29:58):
fuck actual government bonds work.
But I I definitely want plus. That's all I'm saying.
Just saying make profit dude. Kuma bonds were were a solid
investment is all I'm getting at, but I like Moria.
Moria's cool guy. I I do hope that he's doing OK.
I'll be interested to know what they do with this bit in the
future. Maybe they really do just want
to harvest this devil fruit, andin which case, Moria, I don't
know what to tell you, but I think your ass is grass.

(30:20):
Would it be really fucked up if they kill Moria, take his devil
from the process and then they fucking keep zombie Moria dude?
They make zombie Moria wait. That would be sick though.
Talk about insults. Injury, man.
Really rubbing that salts in that wound.
That would be fucking sweet, actually.

(30:40):
What an ironic twist of fate. Poor guy.
Dude, fucking leave Moria alone.He's just a baby.
But after that, we just begin Act 2 and go back to WANA.
Yeah, we just go back to Wana. We got Ashura Doji and Dogstorm.
They're having like a a bit of abit of a stint.
I actually really like this partof the episode too, because, you
know, I, I did ask like Christian and Devin last week.

(31:01):
I don't know if you were here for that, but if you weren't,
I'll just give you the the paraphrase.
I was like, you know what? Now that we know that Ashura
Doji is, you know, this Chutan Maru guy.
So are they just going to like, you know, catch up with them and
be like, yo, we're here, are yougoing to help us?
And then they were. And then Oscar Dojo, just be
like, yeah, sure. Of course.
I asked him if that was how it was going to go down and they

(31:21):
pretty much mostly said yes. OK.
That I was kind of shocked honestly, because in my mind I'm
like, this guy is basically madehimself a bandit for the last 20
years and he very clearly is notlike a a normal good guy.
I mean, I guess he could just bebeing like a nuisance to the the
beast pirates and like that's like his his shtick.

(31:42):
But he did not come across as like a good person in the
limited time that we saw him. He was more just kind of like a
menace, like a true Ronin through and through.
And I I like this this little a a schism that we have between
the former vassals of Odin and shooting Maru slash.
I sure Doji here, where Doji basically just says like, bro, I

(32:04):
have no intention of rejoining you guys.
I did swear my fealty to Lord Odin Once Upon a time.
He is dead now. I don't owe my fealty to the
Kozikis. I owe my fealty to Odin.
And he even like he like double back.
He double backs. He's like you hear that
womanosque fuck you. I was like damn I'm doing 3

(32:24):
through the shade though. Actually, no love for the
children, he said. Fuck them kids.
But I like this, I like this like little bit of, you know,
like there's something about when all of the pieces don't
fall into place seamlessly and you have to like work for it a
little bit. I I appreciate because listen,
this is one piece. Do I believe beyond a shadow of

(32:46):
a doubt that that Asher Doji will not at one point join their
'cause no, obviously not. Like this is this is a kid show,
but I like that we have to work for it a little.
Let me let me savor what what wehave to do to re earn Ashira
Doji's trust because it's been along time.
Poor, poor guy has been basically running around the
land for the last 20 years, surviving, trying to find some

(33:11):
sense of peace or happiness or, or purpose since the demise of
Odin and whatnot. And then here comes fucking
Kinemon Kiku. And to be fair, Dog Storm, who
did not go jump through time. He, he, he has just been big
chilling for 20 years. But Dog Storm's been chilling as
a king, which is very different than what Asher Doji's been
doing in Wano. You know, Kinemon comes just
like, hey, we're here now it's time to finally fulfill.

(33:33):
And then Asher Doji's like, fuckyou actually.
I, you know, this, these last 20years, they, they sucked.
They, they've been hard. And I don't really think I owe
you guys a damn fucking thing. I owe it to myself and the rest
of my men to fucking survive. And that's what I'm going to do.
OK later. He feels very abandoned.

(33:54):
And yeah, I think rightfully so.And so a part of me and wonders
like, was he not present when Toki did her thing of like, I'm
sending you guys to the future to like, you know, come back and
Kaido or whatever. So we don't have all the
details, but what we do know is that the people who were sent
were Rizo, Konjaro, Kinemon, andKiku.

(34:17):
Those were the ones sent to the future.
At least I think we got that in the in the flashback at this
point. And Momonosuke, obviously.
Kiku since the future. Say what?
OK, you know, that makes sense. My brain was like, Kiku was part
of that crew, and then my brain didn't connect that.
Yeah, Yeah. No, no.
So yeah, Kiku was in that was inthat whole bit as well.
But she just so happened to stayin Wano while the other three

(34:38):
went off and, you know, did their own side adventure or
whatever to go find Duke, Doc Storm and Cat Viper.
But but yeah, no, you could go sent to the future.
So the only ones that have not. So as of right now, there's the
only ones we know were sent to the future.
We don't happen to the rest of them.
We know dog storm and cat cat Viper.
You know, they were they were being chilling over on on Zoas
king and king and king respectively, then also fighting

(35:01):
for 20 fucking years, hating each other or whatever.
But Ashura Doji, he, he did not get the, the luxury of just
being able to like hop, skip andjump to, you know, in the future
and get right back on the train,right where everyone else left
or got off. He had to live through the, the
hardship. And I, I appreciate the fact

(35:22):
that he's got a little bit of, alittle bit of that dog in him
right now. Pun intended.
Yeah, unintended. Honestly bro, like same.
I feel you, I really do. And I would like to see where
this relationship in this subplot goes and I I want to see
where the writing. Takes us now the real question I
have is Kita Moan vows to him tolike, hey, man, I'm going to

(35:42):
recruit you or like, I'm going to sway you.
Yeah. And he's he's very adamant about
that. So I'm very curious and how he
thinks he's going to pull it offand then how he actually
presumably puts it off. Same.
So that'll be interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But also it feels like everyone else is seemingly on recruitment
duty. Everyone, said Shinobu and Nami,

(36:02):
who are on reconnaissance, spying on, I don't know,
important people in the Orochi Kaido regime getting plans.
Yeah, similar to similar to Robin, I think that because
Robin's kind of doing, she's doing the geisha route, she's
being invited basically to all the head honchos like places and
then trying to get information. Whereas Nami and she, what's her

(36:27):
name again, Shinobu Shinobu, Shinobu Nami are doing the ninja
route of like breaking into homes and very poorly getting
information. But at least at least they got
it, I guess. I mean they admit mission failed
successfully. They got the port, the day, the
time and the car. I love that Nami's or Shinobu
was like, did you get any usefulinformation?
The Nami's like no. And then she's like, oh wait, I

(36:48):
did get the the port, the day and the weapon shipments that
they're planning. Like oh, so you got literally
everything important. Perfect.
Thank you. Thank you, Nami.
Shinobu was like, all right, cool, we're now going to steal
us some weapons for future army and I'm like, it's pretty good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to look at the logistics
are rolling. The logistics are rolling.
Also shout out to Shinobu and her phobia of sharp objects.

(37:09):
What a fucking you know, can I just be so fucking for real
dude? Like what a what a what a wild
bitch. You know, I kind of want off the
crazy train that Shinobu is taking us through her fucking
right right powers and the stupid fucking like her gags are
like low key barely gags to be anymore that she's just fucking

(37:32):
this up and pissing me off. Ah, Shinobu is great.
Shinobu, what are you doing? Get your shit together.
You're, you're like one of the main ninja players here.
Please act like you've been herebefore.
I can't wait for Otama the the Konoichi in training to
inevitably somehow meet up with Shinobu and become the the

(37:55):
greatest female ninja Wano has ever known.
I swear to fucking God dude I just can't.
I can't stand sheet over right now.
I mean I don't hate, I don't hate her as a character but like
even the gags that she brings I feel like make me cringe more
than they make me laugh. I'm just like God damn it girl,

(38:17):
why are you like this? I don't know, I think a part of
me appreciates how much of a mess she is.
Something about it is is funny enough.
Yeah, even fuck ups can get through in life.
Yeah, that's a really sound message.
Hey, listen, I'm a living example, all right?
I feel seen. Oh my God, stop.
You're killing me. You are not a fuck off.
She Nobu, she might be a fuck off.

(38:39):
Unless it's not. Whether you win by an inch or a
mile, winning is winning. Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, yeah, the rest of thesquad is doing recruitment.
Sanji's just talking to the ladies, making soup.
What a guy. I.
Can't tell if that was supposed to be a recruitment effort or
he's just like Nah bro I'm just living in my my soba cart dream.
Nah, he's he's literally just making soup.
Yeah, he's making soup. He's just making sweets.

(39:02):
He's absolutely just making. Soup.
He's a recruitment. Nah bro, I got a soba noodle to
make. Now, to be fair, he is
encouraging crowds to help, you know, mask the movements of the
rest of the team as they slowly pass on the hidden messages of
the of the Kozuki to all of their would be allies.

(39:23):
OK, OK. Or what they believed to be
there would be allies, the ones with the Crescent moon on their
ankles and whatnot. Which in my mind is also kind of
like, OK, you telling me that like so many people have this
Crescent moon thing and no one sussed out that they might be
like the rebellious Kozuki? Supporters, or at least part of
like, some type of gang, like, no one's investigated that,

(39:44):
yeah. Like, I don't.
Part of me thinks that that's a little silly.
Like maybe they don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes, but
they're just like, yo yall, yallyakuza, what's going on here?
Yeah, it is. It is very funny to me that they
got away withholding the secret.Like, Oh yes, all of our allies
have the mark of the Kozuki, thevery obvious Crescent moon that
literally just translates to ourclan name.

(40:06):
Like cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
So no one sussed that out. At all.
No, nobody. Fair enough, for fuck's sake.
The one percenters do not concern themselves with the
ankles of peasants. I suppose not.
You know, when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense.
Now that I think about it, I really am just the crazy one

(40:27):
here. But yeah, no, that's they're
they've got that and now they'rerecruiting people, so that's
good. So I think that's really what
Sanji's purpose is here. He's like, he's bringing the
crowd. He's allowing the gang to sort
of like, you know, move amongst and, you know, not be too seen
by all the naysayers and what not as they slowly recruit as

(40:48):
many people as they can. Because, you know, Ashura Doji
kind of throws like a a heavy one at us where he's like, oh,
you, you think the Kozuki are are super loved.
You think people really fucking want you here?
Well, you might be surprised. 20years is a long time to really
see some, some anger. And so we immediately hard cut

(41:08):
to, to be fair, successfully recruiting people.
But it does raise the the question, you know, how many,
how many people are? There are some reluctant folks
among the like, yeah, yeah, clearly more aligned folks.
They're like, hey, listen, I, you know, there are some people
who are like, yeah, I'm totally down for the cause.
And there are some people who were like, listen, I was down
for the cause, but I don't know anymore.

(41:29):
That's what I'm saying, dude, like this, this might not be the
easy. And like they're all like, well,
where are we going to get fucking weapons?
They they, they don't even let us do fucking karate classes
anymore. Like I don't even I don't know
how to do anything. It's been 20 years since I
fought anybody. And then meanwhile this other
guy's like, I don't care. I'll, I'll, I'll do all my bare
fish. I'll figure it out.
All right, cool. Good for you, buddy.
Very valid. Oh, by the way, Tom was OK.
I just wanted to put that out there so so that everybody

(41:51):
knows. Shout out to Tama being OK.
Shout out to Tama being totally fine.
That is the most important bit of news in these three sets of
episodes. My girl is OK.
Most important. She is unfortunately back in her
home with the poison water and the rundown shock.
But hey, she's got Bambuku next to her so all is mostly well.

(42:13):
She's got Chopper and and the the Doctor Ming gang on the
case. She.
She'll work Miyagi and Tristan. Miyagi and Tristan, they, they,
they got the animal trio, the three furry MD's.
She's going to be OK. The three furry MD's, They do be
the three furry FDS. Let's be so fucking for real.

(42:34):
So Tom is OK, we formally introduce ourselves to King and
Queen who are some type of superior to Jack as Jack refers
to them as Big Brothers and Kingand Queen hate each other
seemingly. Never seen that one before.
Never seen that before and also they dunk on Jack as little bro
too. Yeah, they do.

(42:54):
It's so funny how Jack goes fromlike one of the most menacing
characters in the series on a pawn introduction and then he
just gets punked out by everyone.
Yeah. No respect from queen, no
respect from king. My man trembles in the presence
of Kaido. Well, I mean it is Kaido.
Like everyone should tremble in the presence of Kaido, to be
fair. I mean OK fair enough, however

(43:15):
like bro he's on your side why are you scared?
Well, he, well, he was scared when he was drunk.
He was like, oh, no, Big Boss isout here and drunk.
Oh. No, Dad's got the belt.
Dad's got the belt and he's beendrinking.
That's never a good sign. Yeah, You know, that's fair.
That's fair. These are these are bad combos,
my guy. I I think you really
underestimate Jack's position here.

(43:35):
You know what? Maybe you're right.
Maybe. Maybe I was too hasty in my
judgement of Jack. Yeah, yeah, like my man.
My man. See what happens when Dad has
the belt and a couple too many to drink from afar?
He doesn't want to be underneath.
It I, I, I forgot one point, going back to the recruitment
thing, this recruitment poster or whatever you want to call it
of art, I guess I don't know what you call it.

(43:58):
What does that mean? Did you not get subtitles for
it? I don't.
Maybe I missed it. Maybe I was too enthralled by
what the heck does this mean? OK, All right.
So there there were two newspaper articles that came out
in the set of episodes, just like, you know, move, move the
sub subplots along a little bit.Kaziboro the slasher was the

(44:18):
gentleman that was being homagedin that article.
So he they they basically got a wanted poster similarly to how
Zorro got one. Right.
They have a a Robin Hood guy, I think, going around.
Well, there's that guy, his nameis like hits Hitsumura or some
shit like that. The the witching hour boy is
what they call him, and he's supposedly like a low key Robin
Hood stealing from the the rich and giving it to the poor in the

(44:41):
midnight hour or whatever. So we don't know much about
either of these guys yet. They're just kind of like
introduced to us as like they'relike extra, extra.
We got Kaziboro the massacre. He's just like fucking trying to
he's trying to he's murdering people with a smile on his face.
Run for the hills, people. And then the other one was this
Hitsume guy who's just kind of. Right, so so we have we have

(45:01):
Robin Hood and serial killer. Serial killer, Yes.
What a week for news. What a week for news, actually.
No, but I I was talking about like the in the recruit.
I mean, maybe this is telling toit, but when USOP among other
people are like slipping these, you know, recruitment papers
into their allies's coats, they pull it out and they just see
like some funky paintbrush art looking thing.

(45:23):
Oh yeah, yeah. And I'm just here like, I guess
if you know, you know, obviously.
But also, what the fuck does this mean?
So we, we have not really been explained it yet us the
audience. But yeah, supposedly if you're a
member of the Kozuki alliance, like the whole point is that the
image doesn't mean anything unless, you know, like unless

(45:44):
you're in the alliance. So that's supposed to be a whole
bit too. So if anyone out there who
hasn't seen past these episodes and is watching along with us
for the first time, if you have any insider info or you know
any, any type of like real worldculture knowledge that seems
relevant, feel free to let us know about it.
Put some pieces back together. You know, really, really,

(46:05):
Detective Conan, this case. Detective Conan this bitch.
I don't know why that was the first detective like I thought
of. I could not think of a single.
But like who? I could have said Sherlock
Holmes. I could have said Olivia Benson.
No, I said. Detective Conan.
I mean it's it's an animated anime so it makes sense.
I guess so. All right, but the final shit
that happens, you said of episodes is of course the jail.

(46:25):
Will you catch back up with Luffy and Kidd?
Who are, you know, they're beingkids.
They're fucking around. I don't think I've ever seen how
anyone have such a pleasant prison experience before in my
life. Honestly not, not even the
people who go to like low level crime prison or they get like a
bunch of like extracurriculars and access to things.
Yeah, there's nothing. These guys are having a blast.

(46:45):
They're, they're honestly, I feel like they're having a
fantastic time. They're at camp.
They, they are just at camp. They have sea prism stone
handcuffs and they're still, youknow, yuck in like 500 rocks an
hour or a day or whatever the fuck it is on their on the
stupid fucking boat. What I love most is and at one
point when they they they throw their last rocks on the boat and

(47:08):
at some blagoon is like dude, bro, like we can't take anymore.
And then kids like, well, they're fucking good.
Another one. What the hell you fucking?
Slack, he's just like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What a good bit I I love that they're doing this.
We we got 2 new gang leaders incoming clearly.
I love this like little like moment to see Luffy and kid, you

(47:28):
know, finally actually having anearned rivalry as opposed to
like, you know, back in Saba Odie, it always felt like.
Forced. Law, Kid and Luffy, we're like
made to be somewhat rivals, likesoft rivals, but it never felt.
Yeah, just by like juxtapositionof each other.
Yeah, exactly. But now, now we actually have
like something to sink our teethinto an actual like character

(47:52):
driven mentality. You know, they're both very
strong headed individuals that refuse to be not the heaviest
hitting member in in the in the room.
And I, I like that they play offof each other.
I think it's very fun. And then also the bit where they
both eat the spoils of their of their labor and then become

(48:12):
super plump versions of themselves and then proceed to
go through digestion, which in my mind, I'm like, OK, Luffy,
yeah, you've done this before. You're made of rubber.
I don't know, rules just don't apply to you.
But the fact that kid did it tooand we just like don't flinch.
We just don't even flinch is just fucking hilarious to me.
Uh boy. Yeah, I, you know, in in the, in

(48:33):
the moment where those two digest their food, I thought to
myself, maybe Luffy is slowly awakening his devil through
power because clearly he has given Kid gum gum properties by
proximity. Yeah.
That's what it is. Because what do you mean?
He has also expanded to triple his size and then just exhaled
it out. Good bits.
We have fun here. Good.
Bits good. Bits and then also that's when

(48:56):
Doban our newest Smile edition. Bro I forgot about this guy and
honestly it might be for good reason because this guy is
horrific looking. He's kind of scary.
He's like, definitely. He is a scary looking smile
fruit dude. He's probably the least desired
outcome for a smile producer, where basically the animal is

(49:19):
around him and he is the tongue of the animal.
That's functionally what happened here.
A hippo ate him and then Doban just became one with the hippo.
Yeah, that was that's that's a design choice and 1/2 right
there. But you know, you know what?
I will say though, I love what ODA does next with this bit
where they throw the patented bad guy rules at you, where it's

(49:42):
like, hey, if you fight back against a guard, we're going to
chop off your arms. And the second time you do it,
we're going to chop off your legs.
So don't mess around. And then then of course, Dobon
is coming at them like full force and is getting ready to
like, you know, attack. And then kid was getting ready
to to fight back. And then Luffy's like, no, no,
hold on, kid, give it a minute. Just give it a minute.

(50:04):
It's like, just trust. Just trust me.
Trust, trust. Then they get eaten by the
fucking hippo and then of coursewhat happens next.
But they just beat the. Who knows, actually, because the
the hippo closes its mouth and then it just starts getting like
banged up out of nowhere, man. It's yeah, like, I don't know,
maybe he had some really bad food early in the day and the
food poisons killing him. I don't know, man.
He was doing corkscrews in the air, the wildest thing.

(50:25):
I've never seen that move before.
I didn't. I didn't know hippos could do
that move to be honest with. You.
It was crazy and then he just coughed up Kid and Luffy and who
knows what happened man, maybe he just had some really bad
indigestion. That's what I'm saying, dude,
you know, but Loki, his ass was grassed and and but then, but
then after they got out, the guys were like, Hey, you can't
just do that to a garden. And then kids like what do you

(50:47):
want? Fucking prove that we did.
Something. Yeah, he's just like, did you
see anything? He's like, was like, do you have
proof that I did anything wrong?He's like.
Yeah, so like, back off, bucko. Also RP my man whatever the old
man was with the blue tattoo on his shoulders.
Dude was just having a bad time.Old man Heo, Old man Heo Just
having a bad that day, working hard for one little dumpling

(51:08):
that falls, yeah, doesn't get a replacement.
And then he's just getting stomped by Oban Doban, whatever
the Apple guy is. Not, not the poor old man.
And Luffy seemingly has some type of soft spot for him
because he's he chalks him over his shoulder.
And I think this brings it back to his cell.
I don't, I don't know. He does fucking yoga or I'm
sorry, Grogu his ass and just kind of like go, OK, I'm

(51:29):
adopting you now. I I don't know what plans Luffy
has in store for old men. Thank you.
You saw an old guy and he's like, I like old people, I'll
help him out. But but yeah, I mean, for the
most part, that's that's pretty much the entire entire set in a
nut. What do you think, big guy?
You know, definitely a transitional set of episodes.

(51:51):
You know, really surely setting the pace for what's the common
in act two. Yeah, whatever that may be
exactly where we're setting up some stuff.
I think Act 1 is like the risingaction, you know, we've
established our characters, our main, our main forces.
And then and also like the the the big Luffy, you are not ready

(52:12):
for Kaido. Yet the threat level we're up
against. Yeah, the threat that we're up
against Act 2 is going to be allabout OK, now the chess game has
begun. We we must collect a certain
quantity of milestones before weare ready to return to the fight
on Kaido. I think that I think that's
where we're at right now And andI'm here.
For it me too I'm excited for what's to come Oh oh oh oh hold

(52:34):
on wait, wait before before we continue, please by all means so
we we introduced sticking a queen right.
We see what queen looks like we have no idea what's up with king
Dude isn't to some he's into leather.
Clearly I don't know to what capacity.
Okay, my man likes leather. He likes, I think he likes
bondage. From head to toe.
All right, he's got something going on, or I'm assuming.

(52:54):
Do we they call him brother. I'm assuming he's a guy, right?
Do we do we know? Can we confirm King's gender?
I. Think we can confirm gender for
now? Yes, I I, he does say brothers.
OK, OK, so I'm going to say thisto the audience out there.
I like to take a poll and and then write in, chime in,
however, wherever you can. One, I guess the question is, do
we think we'll see what's under King's mask?
And two, do we think he ugly as hell or fine as hell?

(53:16):
What a question. That's that's all I need to get
off my chest. I, I, I need to know what the I
need to pull the people really, really get the tap the line here
and be like, what are we thinking?
People we thinking he he ugly and that's why he's hiding
underneath all that leather. Brother, I know where you're
coming from, but you know that if you just like pull the
people, the vast majority of them are going to already know
and then they're just going to chime in and pretend not to

(53:39):
know, okay? So the people who don't know
chime in, all right. Okay, those people can't control
themselves. I'm just kidding.
Knowers are not allowed. All right.
Knowers denied only not knowers.Knowers denied.
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how that one runs in
court, OK? Oh for fuck's sakes.

(53:59):
I have faith in our audience members.
All right, I'm moving on. Do you have no other points for
me? No, Sir.
Fantastic. All right, moving on to, of
course, everyone's favorite Gabe's Fun facts, baby.
Okay hello, this is Gabriel speaking to you from prison.

(54:26):
My lawyer somehow managed to turn Mike prime of escaping a
mental institution into a life sentence in solitary
confinement. How did this monkey D fella ever
get his degree anyway? Anyways, the cutaway to full of
Lead was pretty unexpected, huh?And seeing Gekko Mori of all
people again, You don't see him every day, so how about a couple
facts about him while he's here?Firstly, his name is pretty

(54:48):
weird, isn't it? Gekko, for a guy who's so gothic
it'd make a hot topic blush? Well, his name actually holds
several different meetings. The Japanese kanji that make up
the first part of his name, Gekko, can be read as moonlight,
fitting his horror vibe. The second part of his name,
Moria, may be derived from Imorior Mori Algeri, which means

(55:08):
Forest Green tree frog, which ties into gecko, the Japanese
onomatopoeia. For a frog's crow, that doesn't
really fit, does it? Well, that's because the meaning
behind his name only reveals itself when read together.
When reading out Gecko Moria, the syllables femori are
pronounced together naturally, almost separate from the other

(55:29):
syllables that make up his name,aren't they?
Well, turns out the word komori means bat in Japanese.
Isn't that fun? Moving on from his name, how
about some literary analysis? In Moria's final monologue
before Luffy beat him in Thriller Bark, Moria told Luffy
that with his current strength, he would inevitably lose his

(55:49):
entire crew one day. He was proven completely right
in Sabaoti. Where exactly this happened.
At the paws of Kuma. Fucking spoilers dude.
Speaking of that, his final monologue obviously projects his
past on Luffy since Moria lost his entire crew in a grand
battle against Kaido. Yeah, this is less a fun fact

(56:11):
and more of a reminder. Moria fought against Kaido long
ago, which resulted in him losing his entire crew.
Kaido was the reason why Moria turned into the man we meet at
Thriller Bark, lazy, depressed and only using an army of undead
soldiers since he doesn't want to form another crew that he
might lose again. A shadow of his former self.
Tito turned him into that. Remember that going forward.

(56:34):
Finally, Morias favorite food ismarinated caviar.
Privileged fat bastard. Moving on from Moria, there's
unfortunately not a lot for thisset of episodes unless you like
puns. Oh, I know you like puns, don't
you? There are several characters in
this set of episodes that do notmatter straight up but have been
given names by ODA because he isinsane.

(56:54):
All of these names have been revealed in Beaver Cards.
Firstly, the news vendor that reported on the attack by Cosimo
and the Robin Hood actions of Ushi Mitsukozo is called
Kamakichi. The come at the beginning of his
name means tortoise which he hasa round Bob cut resembling the
shell of a tortoise. Secondly, the prison guard who

(57:16):
was surprised by the amount of blocks that Luffy and Kid have
carried. Yes I'm serious, his name is Don
and Oyo which translates to whatwould happen referencing his
question of what would happen ifKid and Luffy weren't restrained
by their cups. I think looking up OneNote
character on Google would bring up a picture of this guy.
Lastly for puns at least we havethe guy who Shinobu and Nami

(57:41):
were spying on when they got caught and his name is Akudai
Konzaboro. Akudai is derived from Aku
Dakane which translates to evil officer.
His mother must have really hated him.
Moving on, we've been introducedto Kaido's other officers, King
and Queen, who along with Jack, make up the three phase cards
you can't find in any deck of cards.

(58:01):
Continuing the playing card theme of Kaido's crew, it's
worth remembering the Don Quixote Doflamingo, Kaido's main
weapons dealer and Smile fruit supplier for the name Joker,
which retroactively also ties him into this playing card
theme. Ace has no ties to Kaido's crew,
if you're wondering. They're playing card connection
is a retroactive coincidence though.
I did find this interpretation on Reddit by News slash Genomic

(58:27):
Equity, which I blatantly steal here.
Kaido had all three face cards and yet it was White Beard who
held the Ace alongside the commanders.
The Hippo prison guard that Luffy and Kid beat up is called
Domon, which is the name of a card game played in Japan, tying
him to the playing card theme. Now for some manga to anime
differences. Kidamon interrupting Dog Storm

(58:47):
and Ushera's battle by forces made-up by the anime.
In the manga, he made them stop fighting by simply telling them
to let that be the end of this real Gandhi IRL versus Gandhi
and Civilization 4 difference here.
Secondly, and fortunately last for this side, Luffy Kid losing
their weight by blowing out air is made-up by the in the manga,
goofing kids have to lose their way from one panel to the next.

(59:09):
This is because ODA is a fraud. I don't know, I like the way the
anime did it. Honestly, I think the anime did
a way better. Get out of here.
Yeah, I I agree. I don't like the idea of them
just willing themselves to beingsmall again.
Yeah, dude, I I want this bit. I want to, I want to live
through this bit. Lastly, for today's set, you're
probably wondering why the hell Caribou is here.

(59:29):
Didn't we last see him being punched into the stratosphere by
pecans on Fishman Island? How in God's name did he make
make it halfway across the New World?
From there? All valid questions.
The bad news is I can't tell yousince this is revealed in a
cover story, meaning that I'll only be able to explain it to
you in the next cover story special.
The good news is that you won't have to wait for that much

(59:51):
longer. I'll have to end things here.
Turns out my terrible lawyer hasa few tricks up his sleeve that
aren't practical in the courtroom.
I'll be seeing you soon. Have a nice day.
Well, thank you, Gabriel, as always, for coming in here with
these lovely, fun facts. I actually really like the line
with the ace bit banger. Some guy on Reddit was like,

(01:00:12):
yeah, yeah, Kaido has all the face cards, but White Beard has
the ace. That's funny.
Damn, why not just think about Yu-gi-oh now, dude?
Facts. There's this yummy Yugi posing
in my brain right now. It's like I draw.
Kaido's Kyla and then Yugi is fucking white beard and he's
like my grandfather's deck has no shitty cards.

(01:00:33):
Kaido. My crew has no useless sons.
I play Marco the Phoenix in attack mode.
God damn it. Good bits.
Anyway, next week is going to be920 to 922.
Let's go, inventor. I have to stop them.

(01:00:56):
Moving on to quotes quotes, my favorite quote of this is when
Donbo or whatever his name is the hippo guy comes out and you
know they do this bit a couple of times.
They're like the human body shouldn't work like that.
But the best 1 is when they're doing the air breathing out and
like the digesting their I thinkLuffy at one point goes like I
need to digest this food and then they start proceeding to

(01:01:19):
expel hot air and then digest the food very quickly.
And the the hippo guy goes like the human body doesn't work like
that. You can just do that.
And then kit snaps back with oh what you don't digest your food.
Next you're going to tell me it owns shit.
Hold on a SEC, I gotta digest. Here.

(01:01:40):
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
That's not how the human body works, you know.
You don't digest your food, nextyou're going to tell me you
don't take a dump, right? I remember in the sub he was

(01:02:02):
like, what? You don't just eat train and
take a dump or whatever. I was like, what are you talking
about man? I don't know what about it, what
it is about that line, but it's it's good bits.
It's really good bits. There was another decent one in
there where like I think it's when they first start eating the
spoils of their work in the jailcell and like one guard is like

(01:02:23):
trying to tell the other guard to like.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Just remember.
He's like, he's like try to likescare him or something.
I don't know, like that. We, we, we need to intimidate
these guys. Say something.
And then the guard goes like make sure you chew your food or
something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
forgot and. Then the guard goes like, what
are you their mouth? How are we supposed to break

(01:02:45):
their spirits when they're like this?
Hey, say something to them. Don't.
What? Are you their mom?
I was that was, that was good bits, good bits.
That's good bits. I'm all in on bits this week.
That's what I'm here for. That one was actually really
good that that one really got mewhen I was watching I forgot

(01:03:08):
about. It I think the only like serious
quote I got is from Ashera Doji to Momonosuke specifically when
he's, you know, doing his walk away, you know, Hot Topic
moment. And he's just kind of like you
think that everyone here is justready to fall in line for you.
20 years later, you've got another thing coming.
And I'm talking to you, Momonoske.

(01:03:30):
Kozoki Odin was a man among men,one who I would proudly risk my
life for as a samurai. He is the only one I served.
I do not bow to the Kozoki clan.I owe this country nothing.
Got that, Momonoske? It's also very important that he

(01:03:52):
does not announce him as Lord Momonosuke.
He really has thrown away this tie to the Kozuki bloodline or
whatever. He's just like, you're another
fucking punk to me right now, All right?
It's been 20 years and shit sucked.
I got nothing to say to you. Yeah, like he's just like,
you're just some guy's kid. You ain't shit.
Royalty my ass. All right, you got anything?

(01:04:15):
But I think that that's it for quotes, That's it.
How do you think I would have remembered you covered?
So God bless God of bangers. Fantastic.
All right, moving on to the Golden Ham.
You know, I, I'll throw 2 ideas in the ring.
I like Ashra Doji just because I, I really like, I really like
him. The way his subplot is unfolding
currently, he might not live up to that expectation.

(01:04:36):
I'm not going to pretend like you will, but in the short lived
experience that we had with him,I, I enjoy, I enjoy Ashra Doji's
time and I enjoy the conflict inhis character.
My other counter would be the guard that said to your food
because funny, which I don't know if that guard has a name,

(01:05:01):
he probably doesn't. We we, we probably shouldn't
vote for him. Let's not vote for him.
You know, maybe I, I, I think itreally does have to go to Ashra
Doji here. OK, All right, fair enough.
Because. The only other option I would
bring to this table was the I. I think he's a prisoner.
The prisoner on the boat who starts crying after they yell at
him to get another boat. It's a good bit.

(01:05:22):
It's a really good bit. Al Shrey Doji is for standing on
business. You all show up like no time has
passed. I have no obligation to listen.
Now. Leave.
Yeah, Yeah. For for standing to his his guns
and his morals. He's like, you know, you, you
you can't just you don't get loyalty for free in this day and
age, all right? It's got to be earned a little
bit, and I respect that. All right.

(01:05:44):
Good times, best times. Moving on to a fan mail, what do
you have for us, Justin? All right, got this.
We got a letter from. I don't know.
We're going to find out, OK? I am, in fact, in cahoots with

(01:06:04):
Natasha. Hot Lips.
Gasp. Had to make sure I could trust
you. I appreciate you receiving my
transmission. Also, sorry for breaking your
window. I hope the 30,000 Monopoly
dollars taped to the back of this message helped.
It didn't. OK, Speaking of embezzlement, I
mean supporting the podcast. How can I support you and more
importantly, force you? I mean politely requests you to

(01:06:25):
watch a movie. I already have one picked out.
It's Inside by Bo Burnham, featuring Bo Burnham.
However that works. But anyway, your payment of body
pillows is on a delayed send. They should arrive now.
Wait, what? No, stop breaking our windows.
Oh well. You know, we just got that fixed
too. That kind of sucks.
Are there more Monopoly dollars taped to that one?

(01:06:48):
Yeah, Yeah, there are actually. I guess that's fair.
Congratulations again. As a reward for your editor so
politely helping me with the music and the other half a
billion other sound effects you guys did, I have sent you a
state-of-the-art hamster wheel with coolant and various ambient
sounds ranging from seaside, so rainforest.

(01:07:12):
Oh, OK. OK, OK, Dylan's going to enjoy
that, I guess. Yeah, Dylan will love that.
Please ignore the Necronomicon. If a man named Ash shows up at
your house, tell him I didn't give it to you.
You got it, chainsaws, am I right?
Farewell for now. Your personal secret agent,
Super spy kid, prodigy. Hell.

(01:07:33):
Oh, it's L like oh, right, I am a good Yep, Yep, that's that
makes a lot of sense. I understand now.
So we now have Elle and Natasha.Hot lips we got.
Aren't you recruited by some type of agency man?
You know, I, it's, it's not impossible.
I mean, I, I would recruit us. I think we're really good at
what we do. We're the G team.
And what do we do exactly? You know, we, we, we, we, we're

(01:07:56):
we. We're a man of many talents.
We're yeah, we're we're men of. Many, many indiscernible
talents, let's just say. Remember that bit from Adventure
Time where it's like I, I have an approximate knowledge of many
things. That's that's what we are.
Ah, yes, true. True.

(01:08:16):
But like in actions form. Yeah.
Yeah, true. I am.
Approximate man. We have a near impeccable talent
for almost being good at things.Can't confirm.
Yes, yes. Can't confirm, you see.
I've come second place in a lot of things I've done.
Yeah, I'm more like 4th, but youknow, good to be like 4th

(01:08:39):
billing tops. But you know it's OK.
So yeah, thanks Al of the other part of your e-mail that was not
meant for this recording. I will be sure to forward it to
my supervisor as soon as I remember to do that.
So good luck. All right, moving on to the Gorb
gam, Justin. Go, go, go, go, go, go do.
You do you mind sticking your hand in the in the gap here?

(01:09:02):
I don't know why I'm so hyper this but it's like.
Yeah, I don't know why you're that hyped either.
What the fuck am I feeling rightnow, man?
I I cannot discern the texture. OK?
I'm not sure what you what I I'mafraid to pull my hand out.
I need, I need you to walk me through this, man.
OK. I'm just going to tell you what
it is, OK? Are you ready?
OK, OK. It's all the melted candy that I

(01:09:22):
couldn't get rid of on Halloween.
OK? So just be fucking just fucking
relax. Are there solids in here?
There used to be there, probablynot anymore.
Wait, did did you throw them in with the wrappers on?
Well, yeah. OK.
That's that's helpful I think. I mean, a couple of them might
have leaked or something, you know, like sometimes like they
they can burst out of the wrappers.

(01:09:43):
So yeah, all. Right, well, I got to wash my
hands and I'm done with. This probably probably.
But Crunch Bar, my favorite. Yeah.
Despite it being liquefied. Let's see, that's how his wife
bought this chocolate off. Nope, Nope.
Chocolate. It really helps the crunch bar
experience when it's no longer crunchy I would say.

(01:10:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really subverts your
expectations. It's a real, it's a real
expectation subverter. Yeah, exactly.
Somewhere on this label on I think we got ourselves Vega
Ponds. Oh, Vega.
Punk dude, What are we, Vega Punky?
Well, I think I got to open it up.
It says Vega Punked. On the inside it says Spatula.

(01:10:27):
A spatula. So we're Vega punking a spatula.
Yes. Now I guess my question is here
is the spatula. It's not that it's a loose term,
but it has different, I guess appearances in in the kitchen,
in the kitchen. I'm trying to say cooking and
kitchen at the same time. Help, OK, in the cooking world,
right. So, so you have like, you know,
your hamburger flipper, like you're like your, your, your

(01:10:47):
Krabby Patty flippin spatula, right?
You know, metal with, with some,with some gaps in between,
right. And and then and you got like
the baking spatula where it's like a silicone tip and it's
really good at like, you know, spreading stuff and, and not
letting it stick to it too well.I really need to tell me where
you're where you're going with this.
I imagined the second, the latter of, of what I just
described here, the baking spatula, the one that's really

(01:11:10):
good for like smearing, right, icing and and things like that,
mixing brownie mix and stuff like that.
Yes, because I'm going to give my spatula the ripe, ripe fruit
and essentially turn it to the actual spatula.
That pudding had it all that time ago where she cut a hole in
a house. Ohio, OK.
I see where I see you're going with this.
That's all I want. OK, well.

(01:11:31):
I'm going to turn our one piece reel.
You know, I mean, I do think that's a solid thing for, but I,
I just feel like it doesn't needto be a spatula.
Like literally you could just put the ripe ripe fruit in.
Didn't need to be a spatula, no,but I want it to be.
OK, that's fair. I respect that.
So you're just trying to make good on a previous gripe with
the franchise. I'm making dreams come true and

(01:11:51):
mostly mine. You're making dreams, of course.
OK, that makes sense. Well, I would go with something
a little more practical. OK.
If we're going food energy and just go straight up with the
heat heat fruit that feels that feels perfect here yeah yeah you
you just have a spatula that youdon't even need a pan for you

(01:12:12):
can just start cooking and like just.
Just put a burger Patty on there, let it sizzle, give it a
really impressive flip, sizzle the other side.
Damn bingo bongo. Burger done.
Most people would think that it's best to cook things from
the underside. Nope.
You just set that shit on some wood and then you just sear it
top down. Then you flip it once and you do

(01:12:32):
the same thing to the other side.
Perfect sandwich every time. Oh, oh, you're, you're, you're
taking the safe route. I just thought like you just
take your spatula, scoop up the Patty and just let it cook on
the spatula. So I mean.
You can do that too, yeah. You're like listen, you want a
smash burger? I'm getting used with smash
burger in .5 seconds. Just brand it real quick.

(01:12:53):
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. I mean, there's more than one
way to skin a cat, Justin. Dealer's choice.
Dealer's choice. That is true.
I appreciate the diversity and technique.
What else? What else could we do?
Other things for the spatula though.
Shit, what if we made it like the she's like the gas gas fruit
on a spatula? So you just like maybe if you

(01:13:14):
have a flame like you always keep a lighter with you and now
you have a makeshift broiler just on your spatula, which is
basically the same thing I already said just with less
convenience. What else would we do that would
be fun? We don't want the smoke smoke

(01:13:36):
fruit. That'd be stupid.
I. Had an idea, I lost it.
OK it was maybe smokes smoking related.
Hold on, let me, let me, let me think about it.
Smoking related, yeah, smoking adjacent.
The bis bis fruit wouldn't be good, that'd be stupid.
I mean, I guess it would be. It's always cool to make
biscuits, but like why does the spatula need to make biscuit?

(01:13:57):
Not, not, not in the way that I saw it in this series.
No, no, Sir, Ree, I don't. Think there's any other good
food ones like Mimi Paramecias is what I want right now.
I'm trying to think of some MimiParamecias.
What about the Sloan clone fruit?
The front side of the spatula you have to touch somebody with.

(01:14:18):
But then if you smack somebody with the backside, you can
change their appearance. Wait, hold on.
OK, I've got this. OK.
But in my version of the Cloakliff fruit, it does not
affect the spatula. It affects the person that the
spatula touches. OK, so hear me out here.
The answer you lost me. I was confused for a second.
OK, so you touch somebody with the front face of the spatula.

(01:14:43):
OK, this is like the best covert, like fucking OPS shit of
all time. You touch somebody with the
front face of the spatula. OK, now how you touch somebody
with the front face of the spatula?
Easy. You just act like a foreign chef
and you know, you make an oopsieor whatever and then everyone's
like, OK, that guy's fucking weird, but it must be a cultural
thing. Now you can save images to the

(01:15:05):
spatula on the front face and use those saved images on the
back face of the spatula. And you can turn anyone into
those images with the back face of the spatula.
Next thing you know, you have like an army of people that
aren't who you think they are. And man, that would just the
moral implications of that are are is is fucking is horrifying.

(01:15:26):
Actually that's that's my, that's my clone clone fruit.
Interesting, interesting. When I was cooking, when I was
trying to cook, I, I haven't come up with something solid
yet, right. But for for meme factor, I just
like the idea of my spatula justkind of being a magician's wand.
It is doing some wacky wild shit, right.
And so I was like, you know what, maybe it would be kind of

(01:15:47):
cool if I just turned my spatulainto a glorified flare with,
with, you know, the smoked, smoked fruit or, or something
adjacent to it. But I haven't really landed on
the on, on the exact idea I'm looking for here.
But that's the kind of energy I was going for.
OK, well, you know, we could also do another easy one in the
dice, dice fruit. We could just make the spatula
also a knife. What if what if that was that

(01:16:09):
was what we did. Maybe that is just the winner.
You know, it's it's the most benign 1 like you just you just
have a spatula that can now be amulti tool in the kitchen.
That's perfect. That's exactly what spatulas are
for. I would love if I could just
pull out. Hey guys, it's Billy Mays here
and I got a new tool for your kitchen here and it's called the
Chop Flip. It's a spatula and a knife and
one and one dude. Wait a minute, the Billy Mays

(01:16:34):
spatula knife and the chop flip.Get your chop flip now for only
three. Installations of 2999 call right
now. For only three installations of
2999, you can make the Chop flipall yours.
Listen to all of these fine individuals who have had nothing
but good things to say about thechop Flip.

(01:16:55):
The chop flip took my youngest. That's a great notice you got
there. You did, Sally.
And if you're cool right now, I'll throw in a second chop flip
absolutely free. Absolutely free.
Just pay shipping and handling. Wait, this is a good bit.
I like this. I got a new miniseries on her.

(01:17:18):
Hand chop flip coming to to an infomercial near you Oh, we can
milk this We can milk this OK, I'm satisfied with the chop
flip. I stand by the chop flip.
Nothing will ever suffice. Do you got anything else to
throw into the basket just. Not.

(01:17:40):
Not even a little bit. That's that we did it.
It's everything we we needed. Actually, I think it's
everything we wanted when we started this spatula, Vega Punk.
I got what I wanted in my first round draft pick, but I I didn't
know that the chop flip was whatI needed at the end of the day.
That's what I'm saying, brother,that's what I'm saying.

(01:18:04):
All right, I feel good. All right, moving on to the end
of the show. Social plugs.
Do you want to do it or I can doit however you see fit?
You got it. You got.
It I got this baby, it's time for me to do the thing because
Emma's not here. If you wish to

There's also a merch store whereyou can buy a little something

(01:18:26):
for your loved one. Please.
The hamsters will eat us if theydon't get that and I wanted to
those moments. You mentioned a new, well, I
guess 2 new things that popped up on our website.
If you're a subscriber, I, I don't know the proper
terminology here. Member of our website
pandasightings.com. We released two things. 1 is a
video of me and a Christian workshopping a design for for a

(01:18:50):
T-shirt. And you know Jordy got a crazy
set of going that day. It was inventive to say the
least, to capture the moment so you can get our thoughts live in
person of like how we were thinking through the process of
making it and, and what our ideas were.
And to the surprise of myself, Christian and basically everyone
here right now, Jordy made the shirt happen.

(01:19:14):
He took both of my and Christian's ideas.
Smush it together and we have a whole new shirt on
pandasightings.com called the Minimalist Golden Ham Shirt.
Hell yeah. It's, it's really just a plain
shirt of your color choice and it's got a Christian's rendition
of a golden ham, which I think is wonderful.
And then my idea where you will see the name OP or the, the

(01:19:37):
logo, the abbreviation. No, that's not the word, the
acronym. Thank you.
The acronym OP wall on the around the cuff of the sleeve.
So super minimalist for people who don't like, you know, super
showy graphic Tees or anything like that, or for people who
maybe want something more subtlein, in their way of, you know,
showing their support and appreciation for us.
So yeah, that's available now onpandasightings.com.

(01:20:00):
I'm still trying to figure out the shirt meta.
Like what's the objectively bestcolor to get their the designs
in? The shirt meta.
Right now I'm thinking between black and like the Navy blue,
but that might be a little too basic, but I don't know.
I just like the way the, the, the bright color is on the, the,
the graphics, you know, just work with a nice darker

(01:20:20):
background. For people who are feeling
really adventurous, we offer theshirt in a teal color.
And by golly, when I tell you this is a very expressive, loud
and bright teal, I mean it. I don't know if I could pull it
off personally, but I hope someone buys it and absolutely
rocks this shirt. This is incredible.

(01:20:41):
It almost hurts to look at on myscreen it's so bright.
So if you want to be loud and minimalist, get the teal
Minimalist Golden Hand T-shirt today.
If. You want to be loud and
minimalist? By all means, get the teal
version of our minimalist shirt.Exactly.
But yeah, Jordy, I hope that wasOK to say because you didn't
tell me. So now I'm telling everybody.

(01:21:01):
Well, sometimes it be like that on the show.
So if I if, if by time this episode drops and you can't find
the shirt I've described, I'm sure you can figure out what
happened here. Surely that wouldn't happen.
Yeah, surely. Surely not.
Surely not. All right.
Well, Justin, do you think we'regood here?
I think so, and hopefully no more plagues plague us next.

(01:21:23):
Week all right well with that being said, I'm gonna use this
as an opportunity to bounce cuz I gotta go patent the chop flip
like yesterday. I think I'm gonna be a
millionaire. Hell yeah, go get that patent
bro. Go file that shit right now.
I'm a little surprised that likeyou're not, you know, trying to
get in on this because I, I had no intention of including you,
but the fact that you're like super chill about it is kind of

(01:21:43):
weird. Wait, what?
What You're not you're. Not even going to give me a
percentage of of intellectual property here and a little bit
of credit. Not if I patent it.
If I patent it, it's my shit. Get out of here.
You can't give me a footnote in the patent bro.
Come on. Nothing.
No, absolutely not, because I want the money.
I want all three installments of2999.
Well, you know what, Brendan? You keep keep your child me and

(01:22:04):
Christian will have the minimalist golden Hampshire and
no one could take that from me you.
Know what? I accept that.
We'll see who makes more money at the end of the day.
Have a good night kids. Have a good night folks.
They need to know. They need to know why Caribou is

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
