00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.240
Hello, and welcome to another episode
of yef Yf's Bizarre Adventure. I'm your

2
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:39.000
host, tomor Say, joined as
always by John A k A Superpire Patch

3
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.960
Wolf to more. It's great to
be here. It is great for you

4
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.799
to be here. You're coming hot
off a very successful charity stream. Do

5
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.039
you want to quickly tell us a
little bit about it? I mean we

6
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.039
can, we can call moving on, Jeff Baclaw, Yes, how are

7
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.560
you doing? Did I hear you
say? Yes? Yes? Is that

8
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.280
was? I? Was that mistaken? Was I mistaken? Well? That

9
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.200
is correct, That is correct.
I did not say any of that.

10
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:10.319
You guys are making up only there's
a way to know. We're also joined

11
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:18.239
by Lucy James a great how's everyone
doing? Good? So just to I

12
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.879
guess address the charity stream, and
it's really great to be with the three

13
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.799
of you again. Although Lucy and
Tam, I actually you know, I

14
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.480
I know how you guys are doing
because you actually well you showed up to

15
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.799
the charity stream, did we did? Yeah? And I thought the three

16
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.200
of us had a wonderful time.
We raised a lot of money for a

17
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.680
great cause. Uh, Jeff not
so much? No, Yeah, because

18
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.239
you know what's more important than charity. Uh huh, doing something for yourself.

19
00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:00.760
So it's interesting because this is a
long heartfelt email about charity charity stream

20
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:06.200
and my experience with it and my
mother's experience with cancer earlier this year,

21
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.360
and how much this stream meant to
me. And I got a message back

22
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.719
from Jeff that said, sorry,
dude, just not that into quotation marks

23
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:24.639
charity. Oh there wasn't quotation marks. God. Apparently apparently it's just not

24
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.120
something he believes in. Oh my
god, I can like I'm camera off

25
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.879
because I'm having some like internet issues. I can hear him sweat from here.

26
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.400
Oh can you? I'll have you
know I'm always sweating, Lucy.

27
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.599
That's just the kind of person I
am. Number one. Number two,

28
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:51.120
I have a very different recollection of
our interactions about your charity stream. Nevertheless,

29
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.599
I have to take your word for
it. It sounds like I'm a

30
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.280
pretty big piece of shit. But
let's just say I would have loved to

31
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.960
have been there if I could have
done that. I'm very uh, I'm

32
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.879
very taken aback by your efforts.
Good job, John, Jeffy person.

33
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.439
You'll be very glad to know that
the charity link is actually still live,

34
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.400
so you can actually still donate if
you wanted to. Well, actually,

35
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.080
you know what we could actually do. We could do like a live announcement

36
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.439
of how much how much is going
to donate? Yeah? Yeah, that

37
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.159
Well, you know, I have
to just talk to my account real quick

38
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:31.080
and just make sure this doesn't your
account similarly like is your account similarly pro

39
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.240
cancer? Is that a different Oh
no, nothing like that. I just

40
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.639
want to make sure this doesn't put
me into some sort of weird I don't

41
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:43.520
want to have that. I like, you don't need to be like worried

42
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.439
about like making it seem like you're
a really great dude by donating a lot

43
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:50.240
of money. No one's going to
judge you for that. So just go

44
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.800
and donate as much as you want. Yeah, anything anything good, I

45
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.520
will say, No, I'll I
will say. As a benchmark, Billy

46
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.080
the child who it just seems to
be a random person that tuned into the

47
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.360
stream, not like a close friend
of Jones or someone that regularly collaborates with

48
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.520
him being the child donated one thousand, five hundred dollars. I'm just I'm

49
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.960
just saying that is that the bar? Is that is that? Well?

50
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.279
I guess I think it's like,
I don't know this billy, the child's

51
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.720
person, and he was willing to
donate that much. So someone like you,

52
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.759
Jeff, or we have an extremely
close relationship. I cannot wait to

53
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.319
see how much you donate. Yeah, so did this person rob a bank

54
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:35.399
before? They don't like what exactly? Well, I see it while you

55
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.519
hear your goal and all that,
I think, like, uh oh,

56
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.720
say anything else is just overkill.
I just kind of feel like the worst

57
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.959
been done. I mean, cancer
is still a thing, Jeff, you

58
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.600
know, all right, well I
guess well, I guess won't be anonymous,

59
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.920
right like I guess you'd what you'd
want to know is for me?

60
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.480
Right like, well, no,
because it's going to come in right now,

61
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.160
and we're gonna know this to you. I don't think we need to

62
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.519
keep an eye on it. I
don't think we personally need to, you

63
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.560
know, call it out as it
happens. I will just say that if

64
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.160
you go to until if I dot
com forward slash see if by a patrol

65
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.759
forward slash FK hyphen cancer, you
can see everyone who donates. So we

66
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.720
won't. We won't keep on earth
yet, but oh here it comes.

67
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.000
Someone else can and if you if
you're in three dollars Jeff, three dollars.

68
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.040
Wow, if you're inclined to add
some money to the pot while you're

69
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:34.480
there, that'll be great. I
don't think I I think you should recheck

70
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.800
your thing. Let's just say,
when it comes in, you have to

71
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:40.600
announce it. Okay, how about
we do that? Okay, cool,

72
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:46.839
we'll do that. Okay. Cool. In the meantime, uh baclow even

73
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.439
up to how you doing? Oh
I'm doing. I was in Disney World

74
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.959
for a week. How much?
How much take it to doney Wad Coast?

75
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.920
Oh, we must suspect. Oh, we want it, we want

76
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.279
the We won the trip on show. So you must have some money left

77
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.759
over. Yeah, it sounds like
you got some. So let let's let's

78
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.279
spare there. Jeff. Oh,
you'd be surprised. They don't. They

79
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.560
don't let you. They still take
the money. Uh wait, wait,

80
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:23.680
hang on, hang on, you
want it? You want it? Oh?

81
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.879
No, I paid for it out
of we paid for it. You're

82
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.399
lying to your friends, Lucy.
Just keep me honest, folks, that's

83
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:38.439
what you're here for. Generals.
How was it, though, Jens?

84
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:46.800
How was Disney World? It was
equal parts fascinating and terrifying is like,

85
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.519
yeah, you know, going to
Disney World is like trying out for a

86
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.240
cult. Oh. I mean I
would say, if you spend multiple days

87
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.000
at Disneyland, I think you're already
in there. WHOA. I don't know.

88
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.560
If like that quality advise you as
like already a cult person, it

89
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:10.319
means you susceptible. Yeah. I
think you just have to like you have

90
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.879
to. Something has to happen there, Like you sign up for like Disney

91
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.759
Vacation Club, where you you prolo
you you intend to spend much more money,

92
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.040
right like as after your vacation.
I did not. I did not

93
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:29.879
step over that line. I spent
a lot of money. It's like this

94
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.240
timeshare thing where like they get you
lucy, you don't know the half of

95
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:40.439
it. You don't know the half
of it. So my new hypofixation is

96
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:46.600
cruises. Like watching videos about cruises. And I watched this woman and she

97
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.000
does she did a review of the
Disney Cruise. She was I don't know,

98
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.560
she wasn't hot on it. She
wasn't hot on it. She didn't

99
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.519
use the word culty, but you
could just tell that's what she was at.

100
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.560
I do think people who are upset. I do think they are like

101
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.120
quasi religious in some capacity like that. You need that energy to be able

102
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:11.439
to stomach all the other bullshit that
comes along with like the Disney World experience.

103
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.839
You guys, you guys know what. I'm a big, big fan

104
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.319
of jiu jitsu. Really enjoy it, really get a lot out of it.

105
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.360
Yeah. Yeah, it's occurred to
me recently, how culty Brazilian jiu

106
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.399
jitsu is? Is it very because
everyone's like, oh, you gotta join,

107
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.159
change my life, bro, so
beneficial. You just show up to

108
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.320
this room for two hours a week
and we do a bunch of stuff and

109
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.720
it costs as much. And that's
that's what you do, bro. You

110
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.519
gotta try. It'll change your life. Man. Yeah, dude's going to

111
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.399
touch each other. Well yeah,
I mean you know, hey, whatever

112
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.240
makes you happy. I think,
like, uh, Thisney has a similar

113
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.639
energy, where like people, there
are a certain part part of the population

114
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:03.399
that only finds joy being in one
of these parks, and I can't quite

115
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.039
wrap my head around that so much. Nevertheless, I my takeaway is that

116
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:15.840
I mostly enjoyed it, and I
also found it deeply troubling at the same

117
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.840
time. What characters. Did you
interact with Zero? Well, maybe Goofy,

118
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.840
Mickey and Donald, but not in
like more than just having no,

119
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.440
like nothing more than like a little
like we did a breakfast where they came

120
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.360
around and they spoke to well they
didn't speak, but they like interacted with

121
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.759
us while we ateles. You look
in those Woffles that looked like it looked

122
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.320
like my head, nothing weird about
that. We're gonna have the We're gonna

123
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:52.759
have the syrup with my first No, it wasn't like that, but yeah,

124
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.960
Disney's fucked up. What can I
say? Man, you know,

125
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.799
I'm just gonna that's That's the most
people he did. I mean, look

126
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.120
this trip. You know, we
also were we were in a room before

127
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.600
a week before that, which is
obviously another Oh that's a real one one

128
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.519
for me, one for you.
Well, I think it was mostly like

129
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.080
Jeff Zero, Dylan and Stacy two. I think like, I want a

130
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.440
cold trip. I want to go
where it's cold and interesting and not just

131
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.360
like beach and pools and beach and
sound screen and pools and Jeff life sounds

132
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.679
pretty tough, Yeah sounds yeah,
I'm sorry. You want, you know,

133
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.879
and eventually you find your way into
donating to Jeff. Uh. You

134
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.480
know, when thinking of which we
did receive a donation from one Jeff back,

135
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.639
I won't I won't be ghosh and
say how much it was, but

136
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.519
it wasn't. It was a very
meaningful amount. Thank you, Jeff.

137
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:50.440
Wait, John only get alerted?
I I just I just saw it,

138
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.799
Jeff. But what did dam getting
alert? I wanted John to be the

139
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.080
one to get I didn't get no. No, no. I think now

140
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.320
I think I think it would be
uncouth to to say much. Okay,

141
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.080
no, look Jeff, Jeff,
just donate two hundred and fifty dollars and

142
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.120
push the twenty two thousands than Jeff, thank you very much. That is

143
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.519
you know what, even even the
darkest souls sometimes has a ray of light,

144
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.240
as Jeff has just proven. And
all you gotta do is pressure them

145
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.039
on a podcast in real time,
and sooner or later that PayPal account opens

146
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.799
right up. Yeah, thank you, thank you, Jeff. That's incredible.

147
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.759
Of course, I love you guys. Of course, if you're out

148
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.080
there and you also want to be
like Jeff, make sure you go to

149
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.639
get fire dot com, forward slash
a superi platworf and then forward slash f

150
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.960
K hyphen cancer and you can donate, you know, if that's open.

151
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.159
How long it's open for? Yeah, I think I fooked up, But

152
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:52.080
it's open for like the next three
two or three weeks maybe perfect. That's

153
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.399
great. I'm sure there's a bunch
of people in the joint bomb community that

154
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.960
would love to donate. So yeah, great cause anyway, Lucy, we

155
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.440
even up to I've been in LA
with you for the last week. A

156
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.240
lot of events and stuff that I
can talk about one now, but I

157
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.279
won't because it's video games and not
the point of this podcast, which is

158
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.159
anime. But what I will say
is that my new TV arrived. I

159
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:26.279
have an Now I am going to
become I'm going to become a pervert with

160
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.840
like refresh rates and stuff. Now, I think that's my new thing.

161
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.639
Man, I'm going to learn.
I was playing a video game on it

162
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.440
on a PC and I was like, Oh, I can finally see why

163
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.559
PC people have been so loud all
these years. It does look good.

164
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.840
There you go, there you go. I'm starting to see it. No,

165
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.600
No, I've seen the light,
or at least I've seen the AI

166
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.799
refresh rate thing. There's a thing
in it TAM you're getting yours today.

167
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.679
There's a thing in it where it
uses AI to put sound out of the

168
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.440
t V and also your sound bar
and it mixes it for you. It's

169
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.399
fucking wild. Anyway, what the
fuck? I watched Beebop on it and

170
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.679
it was it was great. Also, Yeah, so I have crunchy roll.

171
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.279
A huge shout out to crunchy roll
because they hooked me up with a

172
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.159
premo account and they hooked us up
because they listened to this podcast once.

173
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:26.240
I know, yeah, thank you, Tyler. The account wouldn't it would

174
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.840
never. My old TV was so
bad that like I could never cast anything

175
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.639
to it. Now, just cast
an anime to my TV, like I'm

176
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:39.240
a magician or something is fantastic.
I'm having a great time. So the

177
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.559
remote one of those ones so every
time you move, like pops up on

178
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.360
the screen and I was like,
oh, magical, Hey that's actually doing.

179
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.440
I bought a new bookcase, but
I accidentally brought two of them,

180
00:13:52.480 --> 00:14:00.879
so I have to deal with that
of a weird problem. Also because I

181
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.519
accidentally subscribed to a fucking year of
Microsoft Office, I'm gonna have a deal

182
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.519
with that. Now, how the
fun did you do that? When I'm

183
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.200
buying a bookcase, because when I
set that's weird. When I set up

184
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.360
my PC, I like accidentally,
I thought I was like speeding through all

185
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.120
the setup shit, and I suddenly
fucking signed up for a year of it.

186
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:28.639
What it is? You know the
wood color that my desk isms that

187
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.799
market for a bookcase? Do you
know the color that only you know?

188
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:39.679
Dam Yeah, I do know.
He's the one who asked recently accidentally bought

189
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:50.759
FIFA TWOY twenty three and Tiger Woods
PGA Tour well that I was using my

190
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.000
PS four controller with my PC to
play some old PS one games not realizing

191
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.240
it was still connected, and accidentally
purchased those two games on my PS five.

192
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.879
That's amazing. Pissed and like the
only thing I could think to say,

193
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.600
and like the email was like I
know you don't know who I am,

194
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.720
but I need you to understand you
know who I am. No,

195
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.639
no, no, no, it's
it's the opposite of that. If it's

196
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.519
that I know you have no idea
who I am. I cannot tell you

197
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.399
how profoundly little interests I haven't either
one. I thought you're gonna say,

198
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.080
like, I know you don't know
who I am. But trust me,

199
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:33.240
lots of people on the internet I
have I have never I have never accept

200
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:39.080
getting really angry at a delivery once. I have never done that. Yeah,

201
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.320
you didn't do that. There are
many times you could have done it

202
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.559
in New York and you didn't.
Tam and I am speaking of like accidentally

203
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.000
buying things. We should talk about
anime in a bit. But hey,

204
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.200
listen, our listeners are gonna sit
there and they're gonna wait, so we're

205
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.279
good and ready. This is this
is when people start asking for timestamps,

206
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.480
isn't it. Dam and I were
on in an uber to go see our

207
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.919
friend Gerard, and this uber ride
was like an hour outside of town.

208
00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:11.919
And our uber driver that starts talking
about a bunch of stuff and then she

209
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.919
started talking about the fact that her
child and this is the exact phrase she

210
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:22.159
used, defrauded her. And she
said, defrauded like three or four times

211
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:30.559
on roadblocks for eight hundred dollars.
Defrauded. No the thing where she got

212
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:36.240
her credit card and used it,
but she categorized it as I was defrauded

213
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.480
by my child. She also she
also said that she had parental stuff on

214
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:48.559
and then yeah, shadow the parental
stuff on and apparently her kid was using

215
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.519
YouTube or something and then just use
that to figure out how to get around

216
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:59.399
all the all the parents stuff.
Jesus. Yeah, I mean that's easy

217
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.599
though, that's easy to understand.
You know, if my kid had his

218
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:10.880
brothers, he'd he'd be spending four
figures a week on roadblocks easy with without

219
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:18.559
thinking twice like a little psycho.
Speaking of psychos, we are going to

220
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.680
be talking about two interesting episodes of
Cowboy Bebop. The first is called Waltz

221
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:29.640
for Venus, and the second one
is called Jamming with Edward. Oh my

222
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.240
god, well one of the best, one of the best Bebop episodes and

223
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.079
then oh my god, it's annoying
episodes. No, no, I love

224
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:44.640
them both, and I need you
to know these were probably my favorite coupling

225
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.279
in a while. Interesting. Okay, and Stacy watched the first one with

226
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:55.160
me. She watched the Venus one. What's we can Okay, we can

227
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:56.920
get to it. We can get
to it. You want to get to

228
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.559
it right now? Or do you
want to get to it as we're going?

229
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.400
Like? I mean, I think
I think, say your overview of

230
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.799
it now? Yeah, I think
so, you know, I just I

231
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.240
was into what they were doing right
away. It was definitely like you know,

232
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.079
uh, Bounty of the Week kind
of stuff, which is really cool.

233
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.880
She found it, and she also
explained herself, right, So she

234
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.400
found it to be a little slow, and I get that. But I

235
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:29.000
get that because I think that is
the pace of Like again, I'm an

236
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:34.759
anime expert, right, so I
absolutely I know the cadence of at least

237
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.480
three animes right, at least for
the most part. But that's if we

238
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.079
don't that's if we don't break Jojo
into separate parts, right, like and

239
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.960
we're splitting hairs here, right,
But like, I do think some anime

240
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:49.720
is over dramatized in a way that
it's like pacing. It is a bit

241
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:55.240
slow, it's it's doing anime right, So I get it and I don't.

242
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.279
And I also think that like the
subject matter, two things she's like

243
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:06.079
deeply on interested in is like sci
fi mostly and like anything space really,

244
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.519
so I just think perfect for her. It was right so in other words,

245
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.960
right up her alley, and I
think that colored her impression of it

246
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.119
a little bit. I do think
she enjoyed it. She snickered a few

247
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:21.839
times. I think she enjoyed the
story. She definitely enjoyed the dubs.

248
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.039
Okay, So yeah, you know
I thought, yeah, I kind of

249
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:33.400
wish she saw Edward jamming with Edward
because I think that one for me is

250
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.839
just like everything I could ever want
out of Cowboy Beeboup. Like for me,

251
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:44.640
that episode, I loved it so
much. Yeah, well, Stacy,

252
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.000
not for you. Sure, we'll
just have to relay this in two

253
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.039
weeks. Yeah, I mean,
hopefully you see your wife before two weeks.

254
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.880
Can you ask her if she finds
Spike Cottuh sure, I will,

255
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.799
thank you, but yeah I will. I'll I'll like, text her right

256
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:08.640
now, did you find the protagonist? But say that, text her,

257
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.960
but make her come come in to
reveal the answer and just lean into the

258
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.480
mike and give us a yes or
no. I mean, I know she's

259
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.400
okay, but well yeah, but
she's like her. Oh actually there is

260
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:26.599
a writer shrike, so she is
not working. She's gone right in and

261
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.759
do this. I don't know if
she's like walking Marty or something, but

262
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.200
yes, I will ask and we'll
get a live answer. Yeah, thank

263
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:38.079
you. Okay. Cool. So
let's begin with the recap of the first

264
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.000
episode of Awards for Venus. It
begins with Spike and Faith taking a commercial

265
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:49.960
show into Venus in order to catch
a trio of hijackers a small time bacolo.

266
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:56.839
Do you remember the name of these
hijackers? Oh, dear, I

267
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.039
do not. They are are the
names of a couple of very oh yes,

268
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:15.680
sons of bitches'. That is a
Joe Joe ass moment. What's going

269
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.319
on there? Huey, Louie and
Dewey or hue I'm sorry to interrupt him,

270
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:26.000
but I think we have a live
response coming in right now. Lucy

271
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.519
asked if you Stacy found Spike Spiegel
to be what was it hot or sexy

272
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.640
or good looking? All of the
above? Right, all of the above,

273
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.799
and can you speak to Mike please
and give us your answer. That's

274
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:44.480
the main character. Yeah, I
mean yes, yeah, I didn't know.

275
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.480
There we go like you look at
him and he's a cartoon and you're

276
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:56.079
like, he's handsome, he's mysterious, but then oh there's something about him.

277
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.680
Okay, all right, great,
wow, thank you very much.

278
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.759
Okay. I didn't get that from
her when she was watching it, So

279
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:08.160
I learned a lot this morning.
That was my first experience with Stacy and

280
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.319
what a delight. She is such
a delight and lovely. I had a

281
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.279
lovely dinner with her. I mean, Jeff was there too, and Dylan.

282
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:19.240
But you know, I love it. It's really a Lucy Stacy thing.

283
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.640
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
guys just time. So do you

284
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:29.640
find him attractive Lucy? Oh my
god, yes, Jesus Christ, Yeah,

285
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.440
I mean it. But you know, there's just there's not there's not

286
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.279
many female perspectives on this podcast.
In fact, you could say there's only

287
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:40.279
one. So I was just nice, too nice to get some some backup

288
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:42.920
sometimes. You know, I think
he's got really stupid hair. But other

289
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:47.880
than that, but the hair,
if the hair is like, the hair

290
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:51.880
is like he wasn't fucking carry's He's
just not he just cooks like that.

291
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.960
You want to run my hands through
that hair. Yeah, I mean I

292
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:57.839
just think it looks silly. But
he's a cool dude. And without a

293
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.200
doubt, he's hot. Like I
get it. He's a cool dude.

294
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.160
He's got cool dude energy. He's
like skinny, but he's a little bit

295
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.960
of muscle. It's gonna just yes, there is certain there's a certain Goldilocks

296
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.920
zone happening there. Jeff, he
also describes like you don't need to be

297
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.720
strong at all to fight in this
episode. He's like, you, in

298
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.559
fact, just need to be water. That's it. I used to I

299
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.039
used to have it. I used
to have a deviant art page where I

300
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.640
would post the artwork. But it
and it was almost entirely pictures of spikes

301
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.000
eagle. Uh damn, you don't
just say it at the time. I

302
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.640
would, I would, I would
give limbs. I would cut off fingers

303
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.960
to see this TV and art page
deleted it. It's gone. The files

304
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:41.920
exist somewhere, I don't know if
they do. I would. There was

305
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:48.359
like many many years ago, it
was avian art dot com. Twenty nineteen

306
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.079
feels like a long time for everyone. But I'll tap into orlev art dot

307
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:57.400
com for size. Jack Bower way
back, who knows Jack Bower? How

308
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.440
did you get Jack Bowers? It
even on your name was Jack Power.

309
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.519
I think that might speak to the
very particular kind of audience that that name

310
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:15.720
was still available. M seems like
someone else has it now. Oh no,

311
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.000
it wasn't. It was much worse
as Jack Power X. Okay,

312
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:26.319
I don't know what you guys.
Often I'd like to see you guys do

313
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:32.119
some good art first. No,
No, I mean right now, my

314
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:37.119
my my Space name was my code
name is Lucy. I think so or

315
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:44.640
something very similar. John, we're
surrounded by really cool people. Let me

316
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:48.960
tell you, like in stereo,
we are surrounded. I made my career

317
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.319
off the name super ipatch Wolf.
I got nothing. Yeah, I didn't

318
00:24:52.319 --> 00:25:00.079
want to say cool. I mean, you know, it's like we've been,

319
00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:03.640
We've we've been over all this.
It's led to some complications. I

320
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.799
have no further statements on that.
Fair it's gone. I just checked this

321
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:15.039
the activated account, soe big rip. It was. It was good.

322
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:21.200
It was a bunch of good pigures. So the targets are Huey, Louie,

323
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:26.599
and Dewey, who basically are on
a plane and they wait for the

324
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.119
right moment to begin their little hijacking
effort. And it's just as the ship

325
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:36.480
is arriving at a planet. They
quickly pull out the guns start firing off

326
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.519
Spike. They like doing a kind
of heist, and they come to Spike

327
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.680
and they're like Spike telling Spike to
like wake up or like pay attention,

328
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:49.559
and he's asleep. He's got an
eye mask on, and that cracked me.

329
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:56.319
Up for reasons I couldn't quite comprehends
because it looks like a Spike mannequin

330
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.480
for a second, you know.
Yeah, so he wait up and then

331
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.160
he does the thing where he's not
trying to hurt them, but he is

332
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:08.880
accidentally hurting him, saying is just
cool fun. And then meanwhile Faye appears

333
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.480
from behind and uses like the stunned
perfume thing to knock out a third hijacker,

334
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:21.599
which is even that was so fucking
cool. Just that's why I was

335
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.599
like, I was excited. I
was like, oh, sick, this

336
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.359
episode starting off pretty sick. This
is gonna like it. And then like,

337
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.160
you know, feelings happened? Are
you stilling on that? Are you?

338
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.960
Jeff No, Like I want her
to like the stuff. I like,

339
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.359
right, Like that's what that's where
it's coming from. You're an anime

340
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:47.480
fan. There you go. They
it's a surprisingly smooth operation, which is

341
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.279
a rarity for the Bebop crew.
They collect I believe they actually collect a

342
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.720
bounty for the first Yeah. Finally, we've never even seen one of those

343
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:02.720
machines before because they've never there was
never a point. Yeah, and they

344
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.400
do it and they're not even like
celebrating. They're not even like jetting all

345
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.200
them around, like, hey,
this is this cost for some sort of

346
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.799
celebration. We're getting paid. They're
like collect at one point five minute and

347
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.880
wolong bounty and it doesn't fade,
just pop up and be like give me

348
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.519
my share so I can go gamble
it away immediately. I love her lying

349
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.279
when she's like more fun than the
bank? Yes, is it? I

350
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.640
guess I guess she's She's right,
but also face's got a problem, a

351
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:40.119
face cup multiple problems at this point. Actually, that is not a well

352
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.759
adjusted human walking around. It bothers
me that Jet and Spike are not Like

353
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.000
we need to sit her down and
talk there. We need to let an

354
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.160
intervention because this is a problem and
fade the bit with the dog food,

355
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.799
Like what was that about? Yeah, there's there's a lot. There's a

356
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:00.680
lot we need to unpack, all
right. I mean, I mean,

357
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.640
I think she's cool. I'd hang
out with Faith. I mean, she's

358
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:14.920
it's very th reasons to hang out
with Fay whoa nothing agree on the on

359
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:21.160
the same shuttle is a lad name
Rocco Bonaro? Is that something? I

360
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.279
guess I didn't really try and check
until right now, and I realized,

361
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.200
do you do you do you guys? Mind if I get real here for

362
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:33.359
a second, please fuck Rocco.
Oh whoa interesting? Yeah, I think

363
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.039
I'm on board with you. Yeah. No, I was just just annoying,

364
00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:42.079
annoying, fucking dude. Yeah,
his energy sucks. Yeah, No,

365
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:47.160
I don't think No, I think
he's him him. No. I

366
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.279
thought I thought I had something I
didn't. I was with you there,

367
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:52.759
I was. I was pulling for
you. I was going for like more

368
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:59.240
like him. Don't but then yeah, no, it's not. Look sometimes

369
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.680
swings in missus. Hey, it
happens. I was his relentless like teach

370
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.720
me a fight, like was very
upsetting. Yeah, and it was,

371
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.319
I mean, shy Ben's getting out. How else he supposed to learn?

372
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.480
I don't know. I just didn't
like, you know, he was like

373
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:18.160
literally like I'm being chased by people, teach me how to fight before they

374
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:26.240
catch me. It was it was
annoying. He's annoying. Wow, I

375
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.799
mean yeah, okay, yeah,
okay, where do you stand tam On

376
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.839
Rocco, Yes, he starts off
annoying, but I think over the course

377
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:40.720
of the episode, once you realize
what he's about it becomes a little quite

378
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:45.720
endearing that I will agree to.
Yeah. I think that's what about his

379
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.640
mom and life. Sure, Yeah, I mean I get I get it

380
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.440
what he's doing it for. You
know, it's just kind of a prick

381
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.480
about it. I got it,
Lucy, Thank you, John, Yeah

382
00:29:56.519 --> 00:30:02.519
he didn't. Yeah. So he's
on there and he's trying to get a

383
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:06.759
package somewhere else. He's trying to
deliver a package, but not physically do

384
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:08.920
himself. He's trying to send it
via a career which will cost him five

385
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:14.799
thousand wolongs, which he's not happy
about. And he gets into a bit

386
00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:22.200
of an argument with the space FedEx
person. Yeah, and then he sees

387
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.039
Spike walking by and decides to just
pay the money and then hurriedly runs off

388
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:32.039
to me, intercepts Spikes. He
just decides that he's going to pull out

389
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:37.640
a knife and charge down Spike and
spikes. I think, yeah, he

390
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:45.880
does that and spikes like a pickpocket. Yeah. Yeah, what's that about?

391
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:52.359
It's very weird. Yeah. I
think like there's a time and a

392
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:59.000
place for his nonchalant fight style.
Yeah, right, is that what you're

393
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.559
getting at, John? We're like
it was sort of just like I guess

394
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:07.519
if someone tried to run me through
with a dagger, my first thought wouldn't

395
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.519
be like, oh, this tried
just to tried to pickpocket me. Yeah,

396
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.400
it's like it's like like he comes
at them full on, like those

397
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:25.519
Streets of Rage knife guys. Yeah, you know, yeah, he does

398
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.160
have that energy. And Spike treats
it like eight Streets of Rage character and

399
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.200
just kind of casually moves out of
the way, just shuffles up a plane

400
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:41.000
and the rock all falls down,
and He's very excited by Spike's abilities and

401
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.079
decides to beg him to teach it. Begs back to teach him judo and

402
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:51.599
kung fu, and Spike eventually gives
in, and he explains to him that

403
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.880
he's not using strength to fight,
but fluid emotion and does it basically the

404
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:01.119
Bruce Lee be Water on my Friend
thing, which is pretty cool considering we've

405
00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:05.920
had Spike referenced Bruce Lee a bunch
of times, so he's very much the

406
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:12.839
Bruce Lee archetype. Rocco is trying
to figure it out but doesn't really get

407
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.880
it, and then a bunch of
bad guy shop at the space boat looking

408
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.440
for him, and he just legs
it. He hands Spike a package and

409
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:24.920
says meet me at I think it
was a church the next day or something

410
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:30.319
like that, and then he's off, which is a very mysterious moment,

411
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:35.920
but like Spike seems to just kind
of run with it. On the Bebop,

412
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.039
Jet is complaining to Spike about Faye, and he's like, she's just

413
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.480
run off and she's not really telling
us when she's going to come back,

414
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:47.720
which is an issue with a lot
of women. I find he's been researching

415
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:58.119
a bounty and the next one is
a lad name Picaro. Was it Picaro?

416
00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:05.039
Yeah, I think that's Piccolo Piccaro, Piccolo Calvino, who stole something

417
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:10.119
called a gray ash plant. Uh. Spike sees that Rocko is part of

418
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:15.279
that crew and that the package he
was given is basically the same plant,

419
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:21.920
which he shows to Chet and everyone's
vitu was so cool, Like why I

420
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:25.000
think less the you know, I
recognize that guy, but more I guess

421
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:30.440
the backstory about the plant, Like
I think it's very The thing I like

422
00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:35.519
so much about Cowboy Bebop is the
little fiction that they It's the sci fi

423
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:40.920
world building fiction that they do,
where you know, this was about like

424
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:47.920
some fucking venus plant that like they
grows and people make an antidote for venus

425
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.519
virus. What were they called?
What is it called venus flu or something

426
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.720
like that. I forget. I
like venus virus. Nice. I likes

427
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.920
like, you know, obviously you
gotta suspend your disbelief about even thinking about

428
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:07.079
stepping foot on venus. But uh, yeah, they figured there's like floating,

429
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.199
like I love I love how you
see those islands and you're like,

430
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:15.239
what is that about? And then
like later in the episode they come back

431
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:17.159
to and explain it. That's like
that's it such a nice way to draw

432
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.679
you in and then satisfying cool.
Everything is so cool, and there's and

433
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:30.440
you know, you've got twenty three
minutes to like really expertly disseminate that narrative,

434
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.480
and like, I'm just very impressed
with the storytelling that they are able

435
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.840
to accomplish in such a short amount
of time, not to mention they're able

436
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.760
to like do a you know,
like a caper all as well, and

437
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.320
yeah, I just I love it. This is the ship I love.

438
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:49.079
I also think it's it's just sort
of saying that, like the like the

439
00:34:49.159 --> 00:34:52.880
background art and Kboy Bebop is usually
of a very high standard. This episode

440
00:34:53.159 --> 00:35:00.320
is fucking gorgeous, like it's good
God banana. Yeah, just a good

441
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:09.599
looking episode. So so they have
the plant basically, and Jet notes that

442
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:15.679
they are worth one of them is
worth tens of millions of woolong because they're

443
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:20.760
used in a medicine that will cure
blind lifts called a blindness called it's called

444
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:23.840
venus sickness by prefer venus virus.
Venus virus. Now that Jeff said that

445
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:34.199
so sucks, I get it.
Faye is sent to track down Piccaro and

446
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:38.480
Spike goes off in the Swordfish Too
to kind of like an investigate a ruined

447
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:45.480
shoal in the desert. He encounters
a woman hiding there and she basically pulls

448
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:50.599
up a gun with a gun and
holds him down at gunpoint, and Spike

449
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:54.079
just brows his hands up and is
trying to prove to her that he's not

450
00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:59.400
a criminal. And as they're having
the standoff, the woman kind of stumbles

451
00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:02.159
and he catches her and shows that
he's not really a threat to her.

452
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.880
He says he's looking for Rocco,
and she's immediately very happy that someone knows

453
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:14.840
who Rocco is and presumably is his
friend, and she says that she's Rocco's

454
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:19.800
sister Stella. I feel for this
girl. I felt. I felt I

455
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:24.519
was like some real tragic about her. Yeah, she's also very like calm

456
00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:30.199
demeanor that is very disarming for someone
who's clearly sick. Also took me a

457
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:35.440
second to realize she was in fact
blind. Yeah, they don't really make

458
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.960
a big deal of it until later
on, but if you look at the

459
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.519
way her eyes are drawn, there's
some tells there that show you that is

460
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.079
she's her eyes size. It's they
do that. I actually do that in

461
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.599
anime a fairy a bit. They
have people's pupils not reflect light, so

462
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.639
they're just kind of sort of dull. It's kind of interesting. I've seen

463
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:57.360
it in a couple of shows.
And certainly the misdirection of her, like,

464
00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.800
you know, pointing a gun at
Spike, I was sort of like,

465
00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:12.039
well, that's yeah, yeah,
So she's his sister. And Spike

466
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.920
learns that she has this venus virus
and is completely blind, and then she

467
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.280
shows him a music box that Roco
sent her, And this is all part

468
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.639
of like a As well as meeting
her, you also kind of learned that

469
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:29.840
Rocko's and good dude, He's just
looking out for her. He said.

470
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:34.239
He looks at this a music box
that was sent to her, and inside

471
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:38.280
is the gray ash seeds. He
realizes Roco basically only stole the plant so

472
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:43.199
he could curious sister's blindness, which
is when you kind of realize, all

473
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.360
right, this guy's all right,
he's not He's not just a criminal.

474
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:51.519
Roco meanwhile, is court go on. I was gonna say, a regular

475
00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:59.119
villain, just a regular villain,
nor extraordinary villain. Rocko is caught by

476
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.639
Picaro in a bathroom while he's taking
a piss. It's quite funny the way

477
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:05.840
it happens. He's like taking a
piss and there's one dude next to him,

478
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:08.960
and he realizes is one of the
dude and then like he just did

479
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:15.039
white people in that toilet. They
interrogate him and beat him up and like

480
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:20.800
stab his face with a burning cigar. But yeah, a Rocco does not

481
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:25.280
give up any information on his sister
or the plant or anything like that.

482
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:29.519
That is up until on the plant. Sorry, that is up until they

483
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:32.039
mentioned his sister, And then he
agrees to lead them to Spike, who

484
00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:38.760
has the plant. I love that
one of this guy's thugs is basically like

485
00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:44.559
Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka. I
know, I know the one. Yeah,

486
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:46.960
the guy with the open shirt.
Ye, the open shirt, like

487
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:52.239
real long nose, like kind of
gray Beard, and just like he's like

488
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.199
him, been doing this for eighty
five years whatever. I was your dad's

489
00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:05.159
cool here on my did me of
the first fix that you find in cyberpunk

490
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:09.239
when he's semi seven dexter de Shawn, Oh, yeah, he's got he's

491
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:14.079
got. I gotta go back to
that man, Lucy. Yeah, good

492
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.199
news man, it's coming back out
again. Yeah, I got it loaded

493
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:22.119
up. I think it's I think
it's the glasses and the big cigar that

494
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:28.639
he's got that makes me think of
him. Yeah yeah, uh faye.

495
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:30.280
Meanwhile, I was trying to track
down pick her and ends up being a

496
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:36.400
bit of a wild goose chase and
she's been set up, so she decides

497
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.000
to hide, tell it back to
Jet and Spike rock On. She kind

498
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.760
of like injures many people. Yeah, I mean, in the in the

499
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.599
course of her finding out that she's
in the wrong spot. Yeah, she's

500
00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.800
she's shooting a bunch of people she's
punching a bunch of people at a bar,

501
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.199
which everyone in that bar seemed likely
deserved it, probably being a bit

502
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:59.599
larry towards her. I like that
scene a lot because, like it's one

503
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:01.719
of the f scenes where you kind
of realize, oh wait, Faye is

504
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:07.159
like a badass as well. Like
usually if she has other ways around it,

505
00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.599
she'll use them, but in this
scene, it's like she gets Piste

506
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:15.239
off and she just letsterp and it's
it's class. It's so cool. Yeah,

507
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.280
it is really cool. Rocko and
Spike meet at the chapel area,

508
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:25.079
and Spike basically reveals that he's a
bounty hunter, which puts Rocco's guard up,

509
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.239
and he's like, oh shit,
your head to get me, and

510
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:32.480
then Spike says that he knows that
he's got the plant to cure his sister

511
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.000
Stella's blindness, at which point Rocco
starts to realize that he's not a bad

512
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:40.559
guy either, and he's not trying
to capture him, and he tells Spike

513
00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:47.159
to run, but Picaro's gangs surrounds
them all, and then rock Rocco is

514
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:51.280
like, spare his life, you've
got the plant. Leave, Leave Spike

515
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.639
out of this, and when they
when they seem to suggest that they won't

516
00:40:54.760 --> 00:41:00.519
leave Spike out of this, Rocco
lunges for a gun one of him is

517
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:02.440
holding, and that gives Spike enough
time to kind of roll out the way

518
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:08.239
and get behind some cover, and
thus commences a shootout where Rocco is running

519
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:13.519
around with the plant, the gray
ash plant, and Spike is taking shots

520
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:17.679
to try and thin out the crowd. It's all going a bit back and

521
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:23.480
forth up until Fate arrives with the
red tail craft and starts firing at everyone,

522
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.440
which is a big swing in their
favor. Starts knocking pillars to the

523
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.000
ground and stuff, which is I
really liked when she appeared, and it's

524
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:35.000
like piste off still, yeah,
that was cool. Yeah, And then

525
00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:37.440
Jet also shows up in the ham
Head and he's like, all right,

526
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.039
and I guess we're not doing subtlety
here, and everyone just starts unloading on

527
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:47.440
all these people down there. One
of the gang members takes on Rocco in

528
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:52.679
combat, like does this thing where
he's running at him, but Rocco remembers

529
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:58.840
what Spike taught him and just does
this cool like fluid motion parry that sends

530
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.559
this dude on the flying onto the
floor, which is a great moment too.

531
00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:06.440
I don't It's one of those moments
that since the first time I saw

532
00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:08.920
it when I was when I was
just a little baby, it has always

533
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:12.760
stood out really clear in my mind. And I don't know why, I

534
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:15.840
think the way it just like flashes
back to him doing it, like Spike

535
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:21.079
doing it, and then he kind
of incorporates himself. Just something real real

536
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:25.119
cool about it, real cool.
Yeah, but yeah, it's it's a

537
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:30.679
moment where like he does it and
then he turns to look at Spike and

538
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:35.239
he's like excited that he's done it, and Spike is giving him the thumbs

539
00:42:35.320 --> 00:42:37.800
up, and they're like and their
buddies and that's new. That's when I

540
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:42.599
knew he was gonna die. Yeah, And in that moment, yeah,

541
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.079
in that moment, as he's giving
the thumbs up to Rocco, you just

542
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:52.000
see a bullet like penetrate through Rocko
and the music just cuts. Yeah,

543
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.880
like everything shifts and he and Rocco
falls for the floor. It's it's a

544
00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:02.360
really effective death scene because I don't
like this character, and I still felt

545
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.800
sad. Yeah, right, I
like where I was. I'm totally in

546
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.880
line with you when he and Spike
like had that kind of a little back

547
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.000
and forth going on where he sort
of wore down the ice of Spike a

548
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.679
little bit. Yeah, and he's
yeah, no, it was, it

549
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:22.079
was. It was definitely he still
deserved to die when we were happy.

550
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.320
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
fuck them, But like you know that

551
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:31.239
that slight moment a bit of empathy. Yeah, yeah, I forgot that

552
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:37.800
this happens, and that caught me
off guard as well. Fake connors Picaro

553
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:43.159
and forced him to surrender, and
basically everyone stops shooting. Spike runs over

554
00:43:43.239 --> 00:43:45.559
to see if you can help Rocco
but realize it's just way too late and

555
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:51.719
he's on his final breaths of life
before he dies. Rocco asks Spike that

556
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:55.599
if they had met earlier, do
you think they'd be friends? And Spike,

557
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:04.000
yeah, that was rough though it
killed Rocko. Okay, okay.

558
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.960
You know what's funny is uh,
Spikes like, hold on Rocko, don't

559
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:12.960
die on me, and just like
runs away, like with no real like

560
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.679
he's like, I'm gonna go get
it, you know. He's like,

561
00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.440
I'm gonna go get a doctor.
But no, Spike was just running away

562
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.239
yeah, I mean, you know, okay, Jeff, give us your

563
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:27.400
best, Spike Spiegel, go for
it. The dubbed version. I have

564
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:30.000
not worked on it at all,
so I like, again, these things

565
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:34.760
take time. You know what I'm
capable of, So you realize, like

566
00:44:34.920 --> 00:44:38.239
it takes a bit to workshops off. I don't think you ever delivered on

567
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:43.480
your promise for an impression of me, Jeff all the way back. John,

568
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:46.320
it's tough. You're you're a tough
one. I've had I've had enough

569
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.800
people do impressions of meat to not
believe that's true. It's just not ready

570
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:53.320
for prime time. Might just have
to record it. Spike's tough. He's

571
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:57.880
just sort of like, well,
I'm not sure we're gonna go over there.

572
00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:00.440
Like he just has like that has
a kind I want to know,

573
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.440
do you want to know where I
got these scars? He's but he's but

574
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:06.480
that's the energy he has, Like
that's that's what he sounds like to me.

575
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:09.920
He doesn't sound like Heath Ledger's joker, But he sounds like, well,

576
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:13.320
how about I go over there and
get some move on? Yeah,

577
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:16.480
your voice is coming out very like
point dextery, Like, oh, I

578
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.360
don't know guys. Yeah, but
the Dean's gonna be here any moment.

579
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.679
Well that but that you know,
you have to like exaggerate the part of

580
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:31.880
him right that like are are unique
to that voice. Again, So,

581
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.599
Jeff, you're telling me to do
an impression is to do it different on

582
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:43.079
purpose? Yeah? Yous I think
yeah, in some capacity. Sure,

583
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:46.039
it's a good thing. It's a
good thing that you just don't need to

584
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:54.440
try today. Otherwise we would be
much meaner about that really. Uh So,

585
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:59.280
later that night, Spike goes to
visit Stella in the hospital which she's

586
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:02.719
about to go undergo surgery to repair
her eyesight, and she thinks that Rocco

587
00:46:02.880 --> 00:46:07.639
arranged the operation and he's gonna come
visit her soon. But then she realizes

588
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:14.039
from Pike Spike not really saying much
and and the way he's kind of behaving

589
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.840
that Rocos there's a line in it
kills me where she's like, oh no,

590
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:21.800
is he in jail? And it's
like, oh fuck, dude,

591
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:30.760
touch my face and find out that
don't worry laughing at that, Jeff,

592
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:34.239
It's a very touching moment exactly.
It is, Yeah, his cheek.

593
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:40.599
Another touching moment is she asks Spike
what Rocco was really like because she didn't

594
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:45.599
really know how others thought of him. She just knew what he was what

595
00:46:45.840 --> 00:46:50.480
she thought of him. And Spike
replies that she knows him actually better than

596
00:46:50.519 --> 00:46:53.320
anyone now, he was a terrific
guy, which is sad, right,

597
00:46:54.199 --> 00:47:00.159
I mean she also did say like, oh, he i'd probably if he's

598
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.119
hurt it's because he did a bad
thing or something like that. Right,

599
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:09.920
I mean she knew, she knew, she knew Stella now. Yeah,

600
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:17.840
Spike eventually starts like a little a
little fruit stand and buys an apple any

601
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:21.400
and he takes a buy out of
it and then sees like the spores that

602
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:27.519
were responsible for Stella's blindness are falling
again. Yeah, no panic, Like

603
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.760
is anyone panicking over that? Like
I feel like I was like, oh

604
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:34.559
that's pretty, but it isn't going
to blind everybody. No, it's only

605
00:47:34.639 --> 00:47:37.920
a really small number of people of
blinds. Yeah, okay, what else

606
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.000
do you know about venus sickness?
Well, just as much as the episode

607
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:51.280
told me Jeff. When we really
get Jeff, sometimes he like he crouches

608
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:55.000
down off camera and he just did
that, Yeah, a little belly slap,

609
00:47:55.119 --> 00:48:00.880
you know, little belly slap lab. Sometimes I think this is why

610
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.599
people think that we're really mean to
you, Jeff, because they can't see

611
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:12.000
the delight on your face whenever.
Yeah, I think I think that happened

612
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:15.000
in Best a Lot too, for
sure. You know. Yeah, Anyway,

613
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:21.880
I got a really heartfelt message from
a patron recently about like just their

614
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.440
experience with my videos and stuff like
that, and it ended with and also,

615
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.199
could you please stop being so mean
to Jeff Bachelor? Oh wow?

616
00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:31.920
So how does that work? Do
I get like a slice of that patrons

617
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:38.320
monthly subscription? Or is it like
I don't know how the international Patreon law

618
00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:44.559
works. We do have a lawyer
on the show. I can I can

619
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:50.800
explain it. I keep the money
and you fuck off. Okay, well

620
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:54.800
I'll think that over. Yeah,
why don't you get back to me with

621
00:48:54.960 --> 00:49:01.400
your counter offer? In the middle
of somewhere someone will get fucked And this

622
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:06.360
sounds like me, but you know, I think that could work. That

623
00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:21.800
could work for me. The next
episode in this two PA is Jamming with

624
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:27.599
Edward. Can we get everyone's overall
impressions of Jamming with Edward ten out of

625
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:34.960
ten? I forget that it's so
weird? This is like my either fourth

626
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:40.800
or fifth watch through Cowboy Bebop.
I genuinely forget Edward exists, and then

627
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:46.400
this episode hits and I'm like,
oh, right, okay, here listen,

628
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:52.880
I can easily take a step back
and see somebody's frustration with a character

629
00:49:53.000 --> 00:50:01.440
like Edward. I think this show
there's something ab about this episode that really

630
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:07.800
keyed into the nineteen ninety four film
Hackers. Yeah. I love the film.

631
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:12.320
Yeah, okay, where they and
this? What was this was ninety

632
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:15.400
eight Cowboy Bebop? I think that's
right, Yes, yes, right,

633
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.480
that's at least that's the copyright date
that they always do after the opening credits,

634
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:25.440
right, I there's not a coincidence. There is some influence from that

635
00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:31.119
finale of that movie coming out here
the Plant a little bit right, Hack

636
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:36.440
the Plant a right, like with
all the hacker like logos and stuff like

637
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:42.159
the fly throughs of quote unquote cyberspace. The whole deal was just like speaking

638
00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:50.400
to like mid nineties hacking bullshit like
in a way that I found deeply satisfying.

639
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.280
I was into every part of this, such a strong start with a

640
00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:00.320
with a satellite carving like uh,
you know, things into the earth,

641
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.639
just all about the Earth lore.
In this episode two, I really loved

642
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:08.559
the bit where Fa is like our
Earth things are weirdos. Yeah, oh

643
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:13.320
my god. All that stuff was
so satisfying, especially like when they go

644
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.800
around and do like little interviews with
Earth people about who Edward is. Oh

645
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.159
that was so yeah, Okay,
we'll get so it's so good. This

646
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.119
episode is so so good. How
do you feel about that, Lucy?

647
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.079
I agree to disagree. I mean, like, I think, yeah,

648
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:36.760
I think the law stuff is great, but I'm just not into Edward is

649
00:51:36.760 --> 00:51:42.679
annoying annoying. Where do you fall
on this time? I find Ed to

650
00:51:42.760 --> 00:51:46.039
be a bit of an annoying character. I don't. I tend to find

651
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:53.679
the overly energetic hacker character to be
quite great, and it's one of the

652
00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:59.840
reasons why I don't like Photaba and
Persona five. Photabo is maybe on the

653
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:04.559
edge of acceptability for me. But
Edward is one of those like annoying characters.

654
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.360
But I do see the the Hacker's
influence in the overall episode. So

655
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:13.239
I think Edward Edward going forward,
I think Edward going forward is more is

656
00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:19.239
better character as part of a crew
than the Edward introduction character. Okay,

657
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:22.039
let me, let me come at
this from a different angles. Where do

658
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:23.320
you? How do you? Where
do you fall on? Puck from berserk?

659
00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:30.920
Oh, a pocket is also a
bit annoying. But I find Puck

660
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:36.760
annoying but also kind of funny at
times, like Puck can be quite funny.

661
00:52:36.840 --> 00:52:39.400
Yeah, I think pucks funny.
Yeah, I mean, like a

662
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:44.400
lot of pucks. Puck being funny
comes from the way Puck is drawn in

663
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:47.920
the the Mango especially, and some
of the adaptation. You know, this

664
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:52.519
puckway looks like a proper elf flying
thing, and this puck way looks like

665
00:52:52.679 --> 00:53:00.480
a balbon with a facial expression.
Yeah. So act they really like Edward

666
00:53:00.760 --> 00:53:06.079
And I like Edward for two reasons. One, I think Edward's animation and

667
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:10.760
the way ed moves really sells them
a lot of the time. And I

668
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:20.679
also I think you just have these
three dreariest shit fucking people for as much

669
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.880
as I love them in Spike Ed
and Faye or Spike Jet and Faye,

670
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:32.320
and I like throwing this little bowling
ball of chaos among them totally. Edward

671
00:53:32.480 --> 00:53:37.800
is also like half like I see
them as like half cyborg too, where

672
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:45.519
like they're just not they just like
live in like the the some sort of

673
00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:51.360
landfill of Earth, like constantly like
borrowing through the garbage and just being like

674
00:53:51.519 --> 00:53:55.440
connect. I know. It's like
very you know, cyberpunk kind of or

675
00:53:55.519 --> 00:54:00.559
not cy or like dystopian kind of
like cyberspace. It's like a Neil Stevenson

676
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:05.760
sort of version of that in a
way, Like there's something about that that

677
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:08.559
I really dug. I get it, Like there are qualities of Edward where

678
00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:14.519
you're just like Jesus, shut the
fuck up. But uh, overall,

679
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:19.360
like I was super down with this
character, and uh, I love like

680
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:23.519
the VR glasses and all that bullshit. Like it's fun flying that cop drone

681
00:54:23.599 --> 00:54:28.519
like a like a cop car,
like a little toy drone. Like I

682
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:31.840
thought that was so cool. I'm
very surprised at this. I thought you

683
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:36.559
would have hated this, all of
this, but really, yeah, I

684
00:54:36.639 --> 00:54:37.960
always always like to keep people on
their toes, you know, That's me.

685
00:54:38.360 --> 00:54:45.559
It was the ed also has Oinopoino
energy from so I guess you are

686
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:53.880
well the band and Danny Elfman character
with their Yeah. The episode begins into

687
00:54:54.000 --> 00:55:00.360
orbit above Earth, where satellites artificial
intelligence. It was just talking about being

688
00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:08.800
sad and alone and satellite, and
it connects to other satellites in the area

689
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:14.639
and kind of activates them. And
then they just start firing lasers onto the

690
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:17.480
Earth Earth surface. But they're not
doing anything weird. They're just kind of

691
00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:24.360
like imprinting carvings onto the surface of
the Earth, like almost crops. Yeah,

692
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:29.000
yep, which was cool, let's
admit. Yeah, And the cars

693
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:31.840
are just a bunch of animals,
so it does very much look like crop

694
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:37.599
circle style things. Edward is laying
around outside of the Trick thirty nine while

695
00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:43.039
listening to the radio and surfing the
net. I don't is there a clear

696
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:46.960
there is a clear indication of gender
for Edward, right, but I think

697
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:52.599
at the end, yeah, it's
not face as you're a girl. Yeah,

698
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:57.719
yeah, yeah, I do believe. In the movie, ed says

699
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:02.159
I'm not a boy, I'm a
girl. The movie. Yeah, I'm

700
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:07.719
sorry. Yeah, wait, did
you there's an animated movie of this?

701
00:56:08.480 --> 00:56:12.400
Is it? It's a great movie. We're gonna probably watch it. Is

702
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:15.480
it the end? Like? Is
it the ends? Just another story?

703
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:22.119
It fits in kind of towards the
end, but not the end. How

704
00:56:22.159 --> 00:56:27.639
will we tackle this, my friend? Probably in podcast format? Jeff sounds

705
00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:31.519
good to me. I can make
that work. Carry on. So,

706
00:56:31.840 --> 00:56:37.199
but for the longest time it is
unclear. I mean Edward is presented like

707
00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:40.360
a sensibly as a male character.
For a lot of times this is very

708
00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:45.960
in terms of how they're drawn.
But for the sake of discussion, we

709
00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:49.599
will just refer to Edward as a
female, which we would learn about at

710
00:56:49.599 --> 00:56:53.079
the end. So she hacks into
the earth Gate server where she spots the

711
00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:59.679
Bebop is scheduled to land for a
vacation, and she's like super excited as

712
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:02.159
if she knows what the Beebup is. And then a bunch of like rock

713
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:07.719
showers her area and like in a
comical way, toss her up around and

714
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:09.719
into the air, and all of
her equipment just goes flying in that kind

715
00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:14.360
of ship. So she's not having
a great time on the Earth's surface.

716
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:20.119
On the Beebop, everyone is kind
of like listening to a news program,

717
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:23.679
and Jet is doing his bonds eye
try upkeep failures, like filing her face,

718
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:28.400
filing her nails, and Spike is
like cleaning his ship, which is

719
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:30.800
a nice little slice of last moment
on the Beebop which we don't get to

720
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:35.559
see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I liked it. Yeah, And

721
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:40.320
the anchor is explaining that there's an
eight million woolong bounty on placed by the

722
00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:45.960
Earth government on whoever is responsible for
hacking into the satellites and causing them to

723
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:52.800
draw these these weird animal markings on
the surface of the Earth. And there

724
00:57:52.960 --> 00:58:00.559
is a psidekick on the program as
well, who is being big old conspiracy

725
00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:06.159
theory ish person, which is quite
funny. He's trying to convince every recognize

726
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:12.440
that guy's voice. Yeah, like
that's not familiar. She was like little

727
00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:19.679
Nikki. Yeah, yeah, like
there's that that voice is used in a

728
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:22.239
lot of places where it's always like
and I'm not sure what we're gonna do

729
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:24.840
like that kind of Yeah. I
can't even think of a couple of old

730
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:30.400
Looney Tunes cartoons that has us like
wilcome you know. Yeah, it's some

731
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:35.519
sort of like person opening the front
door to a creepy mansion. Jeff,

732
00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:40.599
Jeff, can you do that impression
again please? Well, like the little

733
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:44.559
nicky thing, Yeah, the one
that you just did. Ah, that's

734
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:49.400
not fair. Why are you doing
that? That is Jennifer just Jennifer Coolidge.

735
00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:52.719
I was going to say that it's
funny because we We had this arc

736
00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:57.559
on BombCast for a little bit where
people were doing Little Nikki I think and

737
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:00.119
the Jennifer Coolidge. Someone was like, oh, wait, is Little Nikki

738
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:08.360
just imitating Jennifer Coolidge so much?
Oh Lucy, that's great. That's a

739
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:14.920
good one, very good. Can
I get him? Spike decides to pass

740
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:17.480
on the bounty opportunities. Basically they're
like fucking hackers suck and I don't like

741
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:20.760
chasing him. It was annoying,
which I was on the other side of

742
00:59:20.800 --> 00:59:22.719
being like, you know what,
chasing hacker episodes do sound shape, so

743
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:25.519
good for you for it's It's kind
of interesting though, because it's like,

744
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:31.960
unless Spike, unless there's some mortal
danger, Spike doesn't really want to pardon

745
00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:36.920
it, no, no, he's
he wants adrenaline, a rush out of

746
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:42.400
his bounties. Ed meanwhile, is
just like messing around with a remote Controy

747
00:59:43.039 --> 00:59:45.840
remote control toy which he crashes at
like a plane. And then Earth Police

748
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:52.199
Department arrives to investigate a hacking attempt
from that area and he takes control or

749
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:58.599
she she takes control of hit their
ship, his ship, the cops ship,

750
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:04.440
and fly is it around and crashes
it just like with the toy,

751
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.280
which is funny. It's so awesome. Yeah, this thing about the jet,

752
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:09.880
by the way, I know,
I'm just want to say. Also,

753
01:00:09.880 --> 01:00:13.800
I've got Hart out in like fifteen
minutes, so I'm not gonna believe

754
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:15.119
with this. But have you seen
that there is just a jet that's gone

755
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:22.800
missing where the pilot popped out and
there's just a wool Yeah, I'll ever

756
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:28.400
read it in Twitter at the moment, interesting ds behind it? Okay,

757
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:37.239
yeah, where's that? Just I'm
not sure the cops. The cops are

758
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.760
very very upset at this. But
Ed then hacks into the Beebop as Spike

759
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:45.000
is sleeping to find out if the
crew is after this, to find out

760
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:50.480
that the crew is after the satellite. She she's like hacking around and Iron's

761
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:53.960
barking at the computer and she does
the funny face like big smiley evil hacker

762
01:00:54.039 --> 01:00:59.320
thing, which is just cute,
and Iron freaks out a bit. The

763
01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:02.840
Bebop and in the water and they
basically say, Faye will inspect the antenna,

764
01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.480
which what is what the hackers could
have used, and Jet will find

765
01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:13.079
information about the hacker themselves, and
then they're flying off like the Earth area

766
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.840
and Fay learns that there's like a
hundred active transmitters in the area, so

767
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:22.400
she's basically looking for a needle hacker
in a haystack hacker. And there's a

768
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:28.519
defunct train depot as well, and
jay A Jett is walking around learning about

769
01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:31.280
the hacker most likely to be radical
Edward, but it can't get an accurate

770
01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:34.880
description. People are like, it's
an alien, it's a child, it's

771
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:40.679
a yeah, it's a what else. There is a gay person, it's

772
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:45.159
a bunch of different things, and
they're like, oh, and he's like,

773
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:46.119
okay, cool, I don't know. Yeah, I just love like

774
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:51.639
each of them has such a distinctive
design and setting. Yeah, it's it's

775
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:52.920
great. It's so. It was. It was. It was very like

776
01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:59.199
West anderson E right like it was
right like a lot of like uh,

777
01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:02.039
you know, in vironmental storytelling,
just net frame of just like this is

778
01:02:02.079 --> 01:02:06.559
the slice of life of this person. Yeah, loved it. Edward hacks

779
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:12.480
into the kind of satellite out on
net server and is able to discover that

780
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:15.320
no one's hacked into it, and
hears a voice inside the satellite and the

781
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:22.039
satellites just like I'm a central processing
unit on the d one three five artificial

782
01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:25.519
satellite, and Edward is just I'm
gonna call you MPU because it sounds like

783
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:30.679
CPU, but it's fun. And
MPU says that they've been making the land

784
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:37.440
carvings to recreate Nasca lines after the
Gate accidentally destroyed Earth's landscape, so I

785
01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:42.039
was trying to restore some like kind
of history and personality into the Earth landscape,

786
01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:46.239
which is really cool revelation, really
really cool. Yeah yeah, Edward

787
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:50.880
asked if she can draw something,
and then the Earth Police jammed the signal

788
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:54.719
and Edward loses contact with the with
MPU. Meanwhile, on the Bebop,

789
01:02:54.800 --> 01:03:00.239
Chet is like trying to figure out
make peace together all the conflict information to

790
01:03:00.360 --> 01:03:07.760
figure out who the hacker is,
and Spike is examining something called a piacos

791
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:12.039
which is brought back as a souvenir, which is just a fun little thing

792
01:03:12.119 --> 01:03:15.119
for Spike to be busy himself with
since he doesn't want to get involved.

793
01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:20.719
Jet turns to the computer to see
that their police are also after Edward,

794
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:24.800
but then Edward contacts them through a
hack and she says, like a satellite

795
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:30.559
is what is behind the carvings and
is like the only way to capture MPU

796
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:36.320
is by flying manually to the satellite, avoiding the attack satellites, and then

797
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:39.719
downloading MPU through a direct line to
a system. Jet is like, this

798
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:45.360
is impossible, and Spike is like, I'm out of here, and Spike

799
01:03:45.480 --> 01:03:50.599
is actually like, now I'm involved
because this sounds like a dangerous shob so,

800
01:03:51.119 --> 01:03:54.719
as John said, loves a bit
of excitement in his life. Spike

801
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:58.880
connects, they take off, and
they begin the operations. Spike connects to

802
01:03:58.920 --> 01:04:04.000
a pore which allows him to fire
lasers without the computer, and then with

803
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:09.239
the computer and engine or Spike like
kind of like drift towards the satellite by

804
01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:14.519
opening and closing small airlocks that propel
the ship back on course. It's cool.

805
01:04:14.519 --> 01:04:17.880
I love it when they do like
fancy flying stuff in space. The

806
01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:24.199
animation is so stunning for this bit. Yeah, the problem they have is

807
01:04:24.239 --> 01:04:29.000
like there's a bunch of attack satellites
and they keep getting pushed back and avoiding

808
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:33.719
incoming fire. And then phase like
covering Spike, although she's not super into

809
01:04:33.719 --> 01:04:38.440
the idea of doing it and taking
on the attack satellites who are firing at

810
01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:42.760
her. But then Edward pops up
and is like fly close to the MPU

811
01:04:43.800 --> 01:04:47.239
because the attack satellites weren't risk hitting
the actual satellite, and then use Pay

812
01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.639
as a decoy, which she's not
happy with, but the plan does work,

813
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:59.599
and then Edward goes and downloads MPU. She also kind of promises Edwards

814
01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:01.639
something which will come back to in
a second. But they get back on

815
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:04.679
Earth and Spike and Jet try and
collect the bounty, but the Earth Police

816
01:05:04.719 --> 01:05:09.880
rulers that the bounties are only issue
to life forms and not computers, so

817
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:13.519
they don't actually get any money for
it. They wanted to hacker, not

818
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:19.519
the not the satellite, so yeah, the crew basically attempts to fly off

819
01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:26.599
then, but it's revealed that Faye
actually promised Edward that she could join as

820
01:05:26.800 --> 01:05:29.840
the crew of the beeB Up as
a full member, and although when they

821
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:32.320
try and fly off, Edward uses
her hacking to to remote control them back

822
01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:36.840
into her area and stops. So
she come bored, and then Spike complains

823
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:41.199
that the three things he hates most
of our kids, animals and women with

824
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:48.360
attitude, and now they're all that
bit Really it's it is like the ending

825
01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:53.920
of it is like very like misogynists
to a degree. But the way he

826
01:05:54.000 --> 01:06:01.079
delivers it is like, it's not
the way the fade is sitting there and

827
01:06:01.239 --> 01:06:05.000
she's like a cigarette hanging from out
and she just looks like kind of an

828
01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:10.639
assholes. It's so funny. Yeah, in any other delivery that would have

829
01:06:10.679 --> 01:06:14.039
sounded a bit weird, but in
that delivery it was like really well done.

830
01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:15.920
It's like, oh, he's clearly
being cheeky, and he's just like,

831
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:20.159
yes, the uncancellable spike cannot cancel
spikes. Beegle, no, don't

832
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:25.000
even try. Yeah, they're all
like jammed into this one ship and they

833
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:29.719
fly off from Earth where there is
a new land carving on Earth now and

834
01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:32.360
it's the thing that ed asked to
draw, and it is it is her

835
01:06:32.480 --> 01:06:38.599
computer persona. I thinky, that's
Miley onto the surface of South America,

836
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:44.800
which is very cool. It's very
cool, very and that is the jamming

837
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:48.079
with Edward, which I think and
what's not to like about that? Fam

838
01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:53.000
Yeah, I think, I mean, I think Edward is more fun as

839
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.960
a character as part of the crew
than on her own, which I think

840
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:00.199
that we might have different things to
say about Edward in the next interesting Okay,

841
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:03.880
because I assumed that's what was going
to happen. I didn't know for

842
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:09.400
sure if it really you you you
kind of had a feeling that Edward would

843
01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:13.320
join. No, no, no, I'm saying I realized Edward wanted to

844
01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:15.800
be a part of the crew.
I guess I wasn't sure if like the

845
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:18.079
show was going to allow it.
I didn't know, like we were just

846
01:07:18.199 --> 01:07:23.639
collecting people. Yeah, like I
mean, I guess, I guess we

847
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:29.039
can say now, but am I
going to be upset? But no,

848
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:30.760
No, I was just gonna say, like, that's the crew of the

849
01:07:30.800 --> 01:07:35.800
beeB Up now, like there's no
rolling, there's no we're not adding any

850
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:39.679
more to the party. The gangs
hare and this is from hare like it

851
01:07:39.800 --> 01:07:42.440
becomes. I mean, it's already
a great show, but it becomes even

852
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:48.039
more. We finally hit the title
screen, Episode nine, Cowboy Beebup begins.

853
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:53.239
Yeah, the next two episodes are
pretty good if I remember correctly,

854
01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:56.639
So I'm excited to talk about those
soon, which is the next two times.

855
01:07:57.119 --> 01:08:00.280
I forgot the names of them,
let me grab it quick, but

856
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:03.639
I looked at them on Netflix earlier
to see which ones they were. They

857
01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:14.119
are Ganymede, Elegy and Toys in
the Attic. So too. I love

858
01:08:14.320 --> 01:08:18.600
toys, and it's also very ad
focused if I remember correctly. Oh there's

859
01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:24.319
there's a lot of ed in it, you know. Once once again,

860
01:08:24.680 --> 01:08:32.279
I am filled with regret about only
being exposed to this program twenty five years

861
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:41.039
after it first appeared. No loose, You're right, and I think in

862
01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:44.439
terms of the greater good it works
out, it's a win win. But

863
01:08:44.560 --> 01:08:50.119
I do think this stuff would have
been a formative piece of media for me,

864
01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:55.439
right, yeah, Like so I
think as someone who grew up with

865
01:08:55.520 --> 01:09:00.479
this show, abs a fucking lutely
yeah, in the same me that like

866
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:04.399
the fifth Element changed the person I
am right, like, had a lasting

867
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:09.640
effect. I have never watched Elements
what Okay, okay, okay, okay,

868
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:12.840
okay, hold on, I think
we I think we discovered this before

869
01:09:13.479 --> 01:09:17.640
really and I'm having the same organic
like excitement reaction of being able to like

870
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:24.159
do some sort of live watch party
with you in that movie. I mean,

871
01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:28.000
but we can talk to John,
John, we have to. I

872
01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:30.800
feel like I'm in trouble. We
have to. It's no, You're not

873
01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:33.000
in trouble. No, it's gonna
be great, Like, well, it's

874
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:39.159
the best time. It's just a
it's a great movie. Yeah it's anime.

875
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:44.079
No it's not. But these you
know, yeah, as he's light.

876
01:09:44.159 --> 01:09:46.560
I mean, I don't know.
I would love to see someone like

877
01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:49.760
that's a movie where I'm like,
oh, they should redo that. No,

878
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:53.479
you know, yeah, no,
I think they should. Like I'm

879
01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:57.279
okay with the idea of redoing this. Anyway, We're gonna watch the original.

880
01:09:57.279 --> 01:09:59.920
I think it's ninety seven. I
want to say nineteen ninety seven.

881
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:03.119
Maybe it feels right, I think
so I shouldn't watch the Fifth Element before

882
01:10:03.159 --> 01:10:08.000
this. No, that would be
preferable. That would be I will watch

883
01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:12.399
it with my dear friends on this
beautiful podcast. Oh what a thing,

884
01:10:12.479 --> 01:10:15.079
What a thing to say. Thank
you everyone for listening to another episode of

885
01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:19.439
Jeff's bizarre adventure The Cowboy Bebop Guidan. We'll see you again at next week.

886
01:10:20.880 --> 01:10:25.399
John. Where you at? What
can people point you doing? People

887
01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:30.600
can find me lately at twitch dot
