Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's right, y'all All right let's get right into
it.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
My first topic.
This week I had a chance to goto the IMAX early screening of
the new Gundam movie GundamG-Quacks the beginning, what's
it called?
Gundam G-Quacks, G-Quacks.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's dope.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
For the longest time it was like how the hell do you
pronounce it?
Because you see in thepromotional material, GQ, you,
you, you, you, you, you, you,you, you X.
It's like seven U's.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I did see that.
I thought it was just a gimmick, is that?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
the real title.
That's the title of the series.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's the next series.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
It's the next Gundam series, so it was.
It wasn't a full movie, sodon't go into it thinking it's a
full movie.
It's still in theaters rightnow, but how do you pronounce
this?
Gundam G-Quacks?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm guessing they'll review what it means.
So many U's Like U-Nate I'mjust thinking U-Nate, U-Nate,
U-Nate, U-Nate, Gundam.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm guessing it's going to be something smart.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
It sounds goofy, but I of the characters like, uh, of
course they, they take thegundam, they kind of steal the
gundam.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
They're still digi quacks and they're like breaking
into it and they're like, lookslike the name of it is uh
jquacks and then I think he waslike but I don't think it's the
real name of it.
I think it's a code name, solater on we might find out what
the real name is, what it meansuniversal unit.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
You view, whatever the universal.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
If you follow Gundam, you know that there's I don't
know a crazy number of seriesand crazy number of timelines.
So this one in particular isset in the alternate Universal
Century timeline.
Universal Century is the mainGundam timeline.
It's where the original Gundamseries was in.
Universal Century is whereGundam Unicorn is set and some
of the other popular ones, okay.

(03:44):
In universal centuries, wheregundam unicorn is said and some
of the other popular ones, okay,uh, but in this timeline the
first half of the movie.
Matter of fact was what is awhat if timeline?
Basically, what if, instead ofour hero amir ray getting the
rx78, char breaks in and he'sthe one that steals the gundam?

Speaker 1 (03:58):
oh shit, which alters the timeline completely which
alters the timeline completely.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, so what if that moment when he breaks into side
seven or side whatever side, hegets to the condom first
instead of our hero?
So he gets the condom, and ofcourse he's a new type, and so
he instinctively knows how topilot the condom, just like our
hero, yeah normal sounds aboutright anime so that's what the,
that's what, that's the what if?
Timeline.
So that setups the timeline.
Then we go through like 30minutes of like the same events

(04:26):
from the original Gundam.
But what if?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Original.
Which original You're talkingabout?
The ones from the?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
70s, yeah, the very first, wow that's so cool bro.
As a matter of fact, side byside, like one of the famous
scenes, is when the Gundamstands up for the first time.
Yes, but this time it's Char,not the villain, because he's
not a villain.
But the villain piloting theRX-782, piloting the Gundam,

(04:52):
instead of our hero, that's whatthe series sets up.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, okay, that's cool.
I can see them redoing theoriginal one with updated
technology.
It's been like 50 years, youknow.
If they always redo Saint Seiya, I can the og uh gundam
eventually so it's the what if?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
timeline.
And then of course we gothrough a little bit and, uh,
cool things.
You see a lot of the charactersfrom the original, but you know
, this time with history going alittle different.
And then char paints the thegundam red because you know
that's his color but, instead ofthe red saku is the red gundam.
The Gundam is now all red.
And then something happens.
And then we fast forward fiveyears into the future and we

(05:29):
catch up with our maincharacters from the new series,
which are two young girls inhigh school On a rooftop.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
On a sunset In front of the beach.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
On a rooftop.
Yes, go, they're in a spacecolony, so there's no beach, but
in front of a pool there's nobeach but in front of a pool.
Okay, I mean a body of water.
Yeah, it was just me.
He didn't go with me, but it'sa hundred percent accurate on
the rooftop in front of the poolinside the space car.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
God, I can see that man.
The sun's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, absolutely so that's what happened.
And then, of course, a lot, of,a lot of stuff happens and it
sets up the series and then itjust kind of cuts off.
But again, it's because I thinkit's maybe the first two, maybe
nah, I think it's probably thefirst two, maybe three episodes
of the series.
So it stops at a weird point.
But I'm like, well, no, itdoesn't stop at a weird point,
it just stops at the end of theNah, we just gotta wait for next

(06:21):
week.
Oh so, really good, really good, really good really good, okay.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
So how many episodes?
Like two or three episodes with4D, just to the pre-log.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, well, I think it's like one extended episode
in the beginning where it doesthe what.
If so, it sets up the series,and then maybe two episodes of
the actual series where we likecatch up with the high school
girls.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Female pilots male pilots.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Female pilots male pilots, female pilots oh well,
so the red gundam returns.
The red gundam disappears, well, along with charles and you
find out like what's going ontime.
So the red gundam returns andthe guy pilots the red gundam.
Okay, so we got the guypiloting the red gundam.
Then everybody's like how comethe red gun maybe time travel,
but how come?
the red gundam is back animewe're starting to find out how
come the red gundam is back.
And then we got this brand newgundam g quacks that the girls

(07:06):
steal, and she's a new type,turns out the main character is
a new type because of course sheis and she could instantly uh,
drive the gundam without youknow proper military dude.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
That'd be sick as fuck to have, like the old g
gundam, like different pilot,brought into modern day with
versus new dude that's.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
That's a dope ass a good series and again it's kind
of a love letter to UniversalCentury fans.
So all the fans of thegranddaddy Gundams and all that
stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Damn, I like that.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
It's so pretty, it's directed by the director from
Evangelion.
So you can tell in the Gundamdesigns.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
What you should have told me that.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
What?
The original Gundam is the same, but it's a different design.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's adapted.
It has Evangelion influence.
That's fucking dope.
The director, you should haveled with that, I should have led
with that, the yeah, thedirector of.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Evangelion.
There's a collaboration withthe director of Evangelion.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That is fucking epic.
I'm not going to lie, I want tocome out depressed as fuck.

You look like sleek badass.

Speaker 1 (08:01):

Speaker 3 (12:35):
The way they have the lion.
The lion pop up in thebackground.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
That shit is so fucking good.

Speaker 3 (12:40):

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, because soccer I mean of course you see
everybody like falling and shit,but it's also a contact sport.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Oh, absolutely.
So that's what you start to seemore in blue lock man, like
they were definitely emphasizingarms chest tackling.
Yeah, there's more to it.
Way more into it, way more intoit like.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
There was even the scene at the final episode where
Rin and his brother like, dolike, a strong like, and it was
just like something like theywere both.
It shows you they're bothstrong, at equal level, they
were both reaching, they're likeno, bro, I can get it.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'm a half step there , I reach and he goes.
Oh shit, that's right that wasgreat.
How is this possible?
That's right, how did I just?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
get.
Yeah, bro, you're talking aboutwhen he's against him in front
of the goal and say comes upyeah.
And throws him off balance.
Yep.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Even like when it was the U20, was kind of worth it,
because even the demon, what'shis name?
Shido Shido with the bicyclekick from downtown.
Oh man, the animation was crazy.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Like the sperm and the sky, even his lines of like.
The goal is the egg, I am theseed, the soccer ball is my
explosion and my goal is we'llknock you up.
Oh, bro, that's fucking sick,bro, sick, that's a weird thing
to say, though.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh my God, you were mentioning earlier at the
beginning of that panel, when hewas looking at the ball in the
sky.
Like you think it's the cellsbut really somebody.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
I saw somebody on socials be like that's not the
cells, that's like the uh, thevaginal wall.
Yeah, the vaginal wall.
I didn't want to like.
It's the birth canal, bro.
That's what it was.
That's what it was.
It's your like your, the sperm?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh, bro, he was ready to get to the egg.
I just thought it was cells.
These guys blew my mind.
They're like it's a pussy bro.
I'm like what?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I was trying to put it nicely, but basically it's a
pussy.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
That shit threw me off.
I was like never.
I don't know anybody thatthought about pussy in the
middle of the night, Bro.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm going to fuck this girl.
I guess this my brother.
She's like there's a guy thatgets excited while playing
soccer and I'm like, yeah, theyall get excited.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
She's like no no, no, like excited, and he's like I'm
throbbing like never before,and I don't mean my heart.
He does have some lines wherehe's like pause, pause, bro.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
He was on his back.
He was on his back like he waspressed on him.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
He's like broski bro fuck off me bro, let me play
right.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
No, bro, but when he did like that, when he kicked
the fucking ball halfway acrossthe court, homeboy was there
immediately and that's when hescored those damn sad kicks, bro
.
I thought he was going to dothe hat trick.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
It was a carnival between the genius and the demon
.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
It's so good man, it's so good it was amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
But one of the things that I really wanted to touch
on really quick was the factthat they talked about flow, and
for me, flow was something thatI was really struggling with my
whole acting thing recently.
Right, I'm trying to struggleto get into the actual character
, get enveloped in the scene,not get so much in my head,
right.
And it was really weird, bro, Ifeel like I'm glad I waited to
watch a blue lock, because Ineed it in these moments where

(16:24):
I'm doubting myself, right, andI'm like I just don't know, bro,
I just don't know if I can doit.
And it's like no, bro, you haveto set these very difficult
challenges in front of yourself,rise to the occasion, right,
and just get so wrapped up inthat challenge.
And I'm like, okay, if I had toapply this into acting, what
would it be like?
And I'm like the stage is mypitch, right, the stage is my
field, that's where I'm gonna goand perform at.
And I have to tell myself like,all right, I'm gonna now.

(16:46):
And I couldn't, I want to go inthere and be humble, right, and
I gotta be like I'm an okayactor.
These are a lot of really goodkids, you know.
I just I'm gonna do my best andI'm like that mentality is why
I do mediocre.
I'm like nobody goes in theretrying to do it be a good actor
and think, well, I'm just gonnado, okay, you have in this shit.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Well, you know what, now that you're saying it, you
got to be like Timothy Chalamet.
He said it in his speech I'mout here to be the best, the
best.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I did, I did.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Some people were criticizing him, but now he said
it like it is.
I'm here to be the best.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Absolutely.
Kendrick does the same shit too.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
He's like here to be the best bro.
You know what I'm saying I'mnot here.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
I'm not here to be nominated, only I'm here to be
the best.
And all these characters,everybody in blue lock right,
they want to all be number oneand these actors have that ego
you have to be an egoist.
It doesn't matter if it's aphysical sport or an art form.
You have to have that ego it wassomething that really stuck
true to me and it was somethingI was like I need to stop
looking at myself as like subpar, not as good, going with the
mentality I'm going to kill it,I'm going to go in there and do

(17:47):
phenomenal.
And I'm still struggling,obviously, with entering into
the flow, like tapping in, justlike Yuzaki.
His own thing is like trying totap into it willingly is still
very difficult.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
You know what that's funny?
Because it's like it'sexpanding, like suddenly it's
like being able to know, yeah,and then boom, you know, it's
like, hey, everybody's betweenyour control.
You know, I just run them as avideo.
I saw one time where, likemaradona, the the soccer player
was like and I was like he saidlike wherever Mayweather thinks

(18:26):
he's the king of tattoos,wherever I find Mayweather, I'm
gonna kill him.
Now I always thought like what,what does that mean?
But it's like now, hold on, letme break this down right,
because this is gonna tap intowho you're talking.
What you're talking about?
About ego.
You're talking about Maradona.
He's just a soccer player,right, but his ego is so
elevated that he thinks he canphysically defeat one of the
greatest defensive boxers of alltime.

(18:47):
But his ego is so big that hecould walk into a unknown team
that never, like the city,didn't even have a mayor, and he
can say I'm going to elevatethis team into the most,
greatest competitive contendersof all of europe, which he
fucking did.
Which blows my mind.
But it was that level of egobecause I know I'm the best Like
look, I'm not even 30 years old, I'm not even 25, you know, and

(19:10):
I know I'm so good that oncommand I can do this.
Why, I imagine there's manylike instances of practices left
, this level of ego.
You know competing againstpeople that want to like injure
you you know, want to take yourankles.
You know when I take your ankles, you know.
But like you mentioned rightnow, like he rose to the
occasion.
So imagine, like, once you'reup there, it is like no, I am
the most savage person here.

(19:30):
And imagine that ego neverturned off, like to say
something ridiculous is like Ican defeat mayweather.
It's just a.
It's just.
I know it sounds ridiculous,but that's, that's how good.
That's like what you have to gothrough somebody to say that's
ridiculous.
What are you talking about,maradona?
That makes no sense.
You're a soccer player, butsince you're breaking it down,
it's like no, see, you'relimiting yourself by saying no,
right, but maradona's ego is sohuge, he'll say something so

(19:54):
wild.
I remember one time they evenmentioned that said like
maradona, you're big into thepope, and he responded just so
little but you know but it'slike you, I imagine, if, if you
can learn how to well control it, because I imagine turning off
domain expansion is also like ablessing, you know, but being
able to apply it doesn't matterthe art form or the sport you
said yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
And it really rang true for me, because you look at
Tyson Tyson's affirmationsbefore he goes into the ring.
We talked about this.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
The closer I get to the ring, the more confident I
get the closer I get to the ring.
Once I'm in the ring, oh my God, there's no one to feed me.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, that shit right there.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
So again, I'm like, even as an actor, you're like,
as I get closer to the stage,the better I get.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Absolutely yeah.
So that was my whole thing andit's like, even with the
practice, even with theobstacles, that present
themselves.
The winner mentality is likethese new challenges are now.
I have to do this in order toget to the goal.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
They break it down in the rule of the academy I mean
you're talking about flow, butyou're talking about in the
beginning, where they get scoredagain, yes, and then it shows
the little, the little monitos,the little monitos yeah.
There's people that getchallenged and they'll be able

(21:10):
to improvise because they stayon task.
Absolutely yeah, that was partof the lesson, said yeah talk
about that flow state.
The thing about that flow stateis uh, they say in blue log it
could apply to anything.
Apply to a piano, one of thebest examples it could apply to
somebody doing a piano recitalyeah.
Yeah, how, in the moment,they'll be able to fuck up, but
do it a thousand times easy inpractice.

(21:31):
Absolutely.
But that flow state is thatsweet spot when, if you're too
challenged, like if it's toomuch of a challenge yes, like to
you you talk about beingchallenged, you talk about this
is way too hard.
All it creates is anxiety.
Yes, so it's like anxiety, toomuch of a challenge.
It's going to be hard for youto find a flow state Right Then,
if it's too easy the other flowis that it gets bored.

(21:53):
It gets bored, you stop trying.
Yep, yes, even Maradona, if hestopped, if it's too easy for
him, he's not going to play ashard.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Period that's right.
Period that's right.
So it's about finding thatsweet spot, like that long line
between, like too challengingand too easy.
Of course it's gotta be achallenge, right, like it's
still gotta be a challengebecause you gotta be engaged,
but it can be too challenging.
So you gotta find that sweetspot where, like, your ego
pushes you to not be like oh,this is too hard.
No, you got such a big ego, dothis no matter how challenging.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
It is I can do it yeah absolutely so.
That's my quest right now.
Guys, I'm on my search to findthe flow I should.
I advocate you do the same.
Go find your flow yeah, findthe flow.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
There's many ways to do it, that's right.
No, absolutely it is.
It's possible in any way.
It's absolutely possible.
Anyway, I do it all the time Ido it, I do because I play
soccer.
I play recreational soccer andthe way I like to start my flow
state because they're right, youknow, I don't.
The thing is about flow state.
When, before theacknowledgement of flow state,

(22:55):
the flow state would appear forme the last 15, 20 minutes of
the game.
But that's the thing, it's only15, 20 minutes of the game.
Back then I'm like, you know,there was a blink of a night.
I'm such in the flow state thattime flies by.
I didn't know 20, 50 minutes,just flew by.
You know, yeah, but that's thething it's like.
So once you find your method, mymethod is always, when I like
to play soccer, football, I liketo start like in a defensive

(23:17):
side, start scoping the opponent.
You know, I like to playdefensively, see who's the fast
guy, and I do measure me,because I give myself no more
than 10 minutes, and then I putmyself in the uncomfortable
position that's the center.
Being in the center, you'reresponsible for fuck-ups,
because if they give you theball and somebody pressures me,
I'm losing it.
And then it's like, bro, whyare they giving me the ball in

(23:37):
the first place if all I do islose it right?
So I step into thatuncomfortable position and then,
for some reason, that's wherethe magic happens.
Like he said, the sweet spotbegins.
I find my comfort zone next toyou.
Know I'm controlling the center, you become the heartbeat of
the field.
You know you slow down the play, you create plays, so you go

(23:58):
for a goal.
Right, because, honestly, itleads to that.
I guess I know what they'resaying about the Demon King, the
ecstasy, because it does feelgood to hear.
It feels good to hear damn,what a pass.
Like.
Or like, hey, give it to him,give it to him.
Like, my ego lifts even more.
Like, yeah, that's me yeah, whata pass like.
And then I start doing crazythings within the game and it
works out and it elevates iteven more.

(24:20):
You egoist, you egoist, yeah,but nothing's more painful for
that post game, because then theblood flow ends, you know, then
you know, then your knees startto hurt you become a mortal man
again.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
You're like it's the KO.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Kim, fuck, it's the KO Kim.
Too much of a strain on my bodyI was a demigod like five
minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I had it for too long .

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Four times ten especially when you're scoring
bangers, usually like becauseyou get frustrated.
Your team sucks.
I'm shooting it from thefucking half-court.
Fuck it.
When the blood does that, yourjoints and the tendons like they
feel like the what do you callit?
The shots the impact of theshots and that's the worst part.
But it's worth the game.
I love it.
You know I love the game.
I can you do this shit for thelove?

(25:03):
of the game the love of the gameman, the love of the game.
The game, yeah, absolutely.
With the love of the game.
I always believed in blue-lockcharacters like Isagi or Ryo.
There is an Isagi in the 2025this year, tell me about it Like
today Barcelona will beat.
Today, on today's date RoyalSociety is what they're calling

(25:24):
it in Spain 4-00, which is arevenge game because the prior
game was 1-0.
In that team there's a japaneseplayer that they called the
japanese messi.
His name is tito cubo.
He actually trained inbarcelona like at the age of 10
or 11, and as you grow up youknow he got to train with the
division one and then in englandthere is another player in

(25:45):
brighton and hove.
He's another great Japanesesoccer player.
So, and I know it's realbecause so he's a Rin Bro in
2022.
Oh, he's the guy who's the namewith the one-touch Nagi.
Nagi, he's a Nagi, you know,just catch and shoot, catch and
shoot all day, bro, all day.
Move on, move on with your life, bro, not to too fancy, which

(26:06):
is great.
It makes sense.
It's a painful sport, but thething is that we all saw, in
2022, japan defeat Spain.
We saw Japan defeat Germany andBluelock is real, and it's true
because Messi has been defeated,ronaldo has been defeated,
brazil has been dunked on 7-1.

(26:27):
So can Japan win Absolutely?
Can Bluelock inspire thesesoccer players defeated?
Ronaldo has been defeated,brazil has been dunked on 7-1.
So can japan win absolutely?
Can blue lock inspire thesesoccer players?
Anything is possible.
There is a manga aboutgymnastics.
It inspired one of the greatestgymnastic athletes in japan and
he won, like two, three goldmedals.
I think this is the one in 202020 don't get me started lying
to you, but for sure.

(26:47):
But I know this because therewas a manga that inspired him to
win gold medals.
And I know Blue Lock caninspire the national soccer team
of Japan to rival what Iconsider to be the most
difficult of World Cups comingup, because one of the reasons
is one Messi's going to play forsure.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
This is going to be his last one.
I think the last one was thelast one.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
He, massey's going to play.
For sure, this is going to behis last one.
I think the last one was thelast one.
He's going to play one morebecause Argentina is playing
around him.
So, if they play around him,he'll be a playmaker, but not
necessarily a scorer.
So look out for now, that's one.
That's like saying that Goku'splaying bro, but at the same
time Super Saiyan 4 Goku's back.
Well, no, hold on, let me takethat back.
I'm going to take that Luffy'splaying Because who is?
becoming Goku.

(27:29):
I think is going to be Ronaldo,because right now, although
he's pushing, he's 40, he'sgoing to play his last World Cup
and he's playing in SaudiArabia.
Now, laugh all you want in theSaudi Arabia, but you go run
five minutes In 110 degreeweather, go do it for an hour
and a half.
A 40-year-old man.
So he's out there doing someGoku-namic training shit right

(27:49):
now.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Ronaldo had that ego in him too man.
Ronaldo will sit there and belike I'm the most complete
player.
I understand likes.
I understand having yourfavorite player, messi being
your favorite, neymar being yourfavorite, but I am 100% the
most complete player.
Damn Ronaldo.
Quote.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
At 40 in that.
What do you call it that hyperchamber, hyper?

Speaker 1 (28:09):
ball attack.
That's what he's doing.
That's what he's doing, bro,he's gonna for sure come back
with that super save.
He looks 25.
At 40, he still looks 25.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
And now, we're looking at Europe.
Of course, we got one thatwants all the smoke once again.
Bro, he's more like the modernday Zidane because he only shows
up in the World Cup.
So Mbappe Mbappe had that matchwith Argentina.
They knocked him out and hebecame the world champion.
Then he lost recently.
So he wants that comeback, hewants that third fight, he wants
that Muhammad Ali Joe Fraziergo for the third Sounds dope.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
I think he's older now.
He has more experience.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Didn't you say he was called the?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
uncrowned prince.
No, hold on, we'll get to him.
We'll get to him Because I'mstill in Europe, because in
Europe there is a 70-year-oldchild who carried the country of
Spain and won the Euro Cupagainst the entire continent,
and he's the starter forBarcelona, la Minha Mall, and he
will be playing.

(29:01):
You can consider him one of theworst generations, or you can
call him what do you call him?
From what?

Speaker 1 (29:06):
do you call him from this?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
generation.
What do you call him?
From Black Clover Asta?
You can call him.
He's the Asta, a young kid buckwild, loud as fuck but he's
dunking in adults.
Bro, cannot even lift a drinkin Europe.
And you can drink in Europe.
And, of course, like my buddymentioned here, the prince that
never wanted to become king,neymar.
Neymar is back.
He's right now back in hisboyhood club, santos, where it

(29:29):
all started.
When he was just a 13-year-old.
He got signed professionallythe one they dubbed the next
Pelé, and he's back in his club.
He's carrying his boyhood clubback into the Division I, and
you know he's happier than ever.
Not only he's young, but thisis his last chance to prove one
more time that he's the lastJoga Bonito.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
So this is what you're going to be so.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
this is why I expect him this World Cup, and I think
Japan have the capability todefeat these giants.
The French guy Mbappe, defeatthe 17-year-old sensation.
Defeat Messi, an entire countryof Argentina.
Ronaldo coming in like Goku.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
You know, the blue-look episode of the World,
5.
Bro.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
And Japan has the capability to do this.
Man, all it takes is one isagi,all it takes is one touch
Ni-bon, ni-bon.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Ni-bon.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
So yeah, so yeah, this 2026 is one to look out,
guys, because for sure, theworld cup is gonna go hard he
sold the shit out of me on that,bro.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
I was like not because he's right some of the
some of the last of the greatsare gonna play in this world cup
that's right.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, I'm excited.
What?
How?
He's a key's name at the veryend.
Yo we he's a key.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yo we he's a key, so fired me Like, not only in Japan
, but I think blue look is gonnainspire, like a lot of the
other players, because peopleare watching.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Oh, I want to go by a pair and go hit the pitch right
now, which I'm you know I'msaying like come on and of
course I, thomas, gonna come outand be like what?
absolutely, bro.
You know what I actuallythere's.
Uh, there's one of myco-workers.
Real fast, the last thing oneof my co-workers brothers is
watching blue lock and he islike the the body.

(31:10):
No, no, no, no, it's not barubachira, he's like bachira bro,
he wants to play barefooted playhis own soccer and he's like he
doesn't want to go to the games.
He practices outside, like whenit's like six o'clock, seven
o'clock, sunset, yeah, and I'mlike, oh, I bet you, he's like I
don't want to conform to them.
This is all.
She's like do you know mybrother?
I was like I know blue lock,bro, watch it, you'll learn more
about your brother.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
So that shit was great, but anyway, yeah, and I'm
like that's somebody, that'sthe kind of the soccer it
inspires.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I don't want to play your soccer.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
