Welcome everyone to another episode of Jeff Jeff's Bizarre Adventure. We are still on
our little detour through the world of Cowboy Bebop. I believe this is our
third episode doing this. That's correct, Camp. Thank you very much for
the multiple confirmations there coming from John aka Super I patch wolfs dam. It's
great. It's great to be here. Thank you. I'm glad you are
here too. John. Yeah, I get so excited that I kind of
kind of flubbed the line there a little bit. Yeah, it's fine,
it happens. We're also joined by Lucy James. You see, hello everyone.
I wish I had like a you know, a Super I patched wolf
in the middle of my name, maybe Lucy Lucy James. Yeah, but
like you got a wolf in there, I've just got video. But then
ever, but then ever, then then you're just going to spend eight years
answering. Note to the question, are you a three? Yeah? All
all press is good press. You know, we were asking the worst.
It's just it's just their disappointed little faces. It's like, I don't,
I don't, I don't. I don't live that lifestyle. Jeff Bacalas also
here. Jeff Hello, I'm not an animal of any kind that would indicate
I'm some kind of furry, but I'm always, you know, ready to
try something. At least once. We will want to go out and grab
some grabs of first suits, Jeff. Just kind of show up to a
con. Just see how it feels. Just try it on for a Jeff,
if you were a fairy, what animal would you go for? Uh?
An owl, that would be I think that would be a Honestly,
I enjoy three animals aesthetically about them. I enjoy the octopus, the elephant,
and the owl. That is my tribunal of animal friends. I guess
for the first from a first suit perspective, and l would be the most
affordable. Yeah, Like, I'm not trying to fucking wear an octopus a
furry suit. Like, what is that? Yeah, you know that's a
lot of work. I mean, it's not fairy at all. It's not
it's like jelly scaly either. Also, Uh, you'd want to be a
furry, that's fine, But I sweat and like the idea of wearing a
fucking comp Jeff, let me tell you check the check. These kids,
Oh yeah, they have like fans fans. Yeah, they got they were
way ahead. He was in there. Yeah, yeah, that I mean,
John, you really help yourself because directly behind you you have a picture
of a wolf, like a little kind of chippy kind of wolf thing going
on too. I also have two wolf tattoos. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I just think wolves are cool. Wolves are cools are cool. We
were walking and in one of those kind of in the style of that vine,
and they were roommates where you just hear something funny as you pass by.
Were walking by, and there was a cop talking to another cop,
and as we were walking by, the only thing we heard was no,
those are ferries, and we just carried on walking and there's a yeah,
there's a whole story. I've meant it were like there's an apb out on
like a certain type of person, and like, no, those are fairies.
Those are man. My brain went to a very different direction. I
see them like driving down the highway later on and them both being like,
do you think maybe we should No, no, no, it's I mean
I've seen utopia. I've seen utopia. I've just got some ideas. Yeah,
my friend's gonna sweat. I'm still gonna sweat in that costume, not
really, I don't care how many fans it has. I don't care how
many ice packs A cooler sway guy, I'm a sweaty guy. I'm gonna
sweat inside of a fucking heavy ass thing. Yeah. Sometimes I think about
like how uncomfortable walking around a con can be, and then you multiply that
feeling by a first suit and I kind of just respect their dedication. Oh
yeah, yeah, I've asked the others, so I'll have to ask.
I've asked Jess asked the others. Obviously, John, you're a wolf,
you'd pick wolf? I see him. See, I probably wouldn't because imagine,
if I want to walk around in a first suit, I don't.
I don't want to leave. I don't want to be recognized. I want
to be in character like I don't want to be I don't want to be
super right actual if I want to be mistered fumbles or I don't know some
fucking furry name. Wait, so this is like when Brian Cranston went to
comic Con but he was wearing a Walt and White mask. I guess,
so, yeah, they would never expect I never expect you. Maybe I'll
also be an elk okay, together, put a little parliament of owls owls.
I would be a cat, and then it would be the owl and
the pussy cat. Oh man, you know you do not see a lot
of cat furries. That's the thing I would. I'll be striking out.
I think it's too obvious. I think I would go with so many wolf
furries. M I think I would. I would go with a crow because
I rose pretty good. Dope. Crows before bros. No brows before crows.
Little modification. You could go goes crowmaller at some point. Oh yeah,
I could go to Eileen the crow m M for the endless options.
Yeah. Anyways, this is a podcast ostensibly about anime, but in practical
terms it's about many other things, including life as a furry, specifically for
Jeff back a lot. But we're going to continue down the Cowboy Bebo path
and recap two more episodes and get our this cruise reactions to them. Gateway
Shuffle is the first episode, and it will be followed by Ballad of the
Fallen Angel, which I have spelled ballad be allled. Okay, this is
bald. I'm using a new keyboard there, regardless, in a new keyboard.
Look Jeff your review real quick. You know, Jeff recommended this one
the Mojo Mojo Dojo Castle House be out of ten. Good job. Yeah,
it's quieter because John Luke says there's a clicking sound which we suspect could
be my old keyboard. If it is great, Lucy, if you are
in the market for a keyboard, I was just about to say, so,
we'll get to the podcast eventually. I have turned full gremlin. We
have Ndxtvo kindly sent us new PCs, and so I've got the new Beefy
Boy connected to my to my monitor. That's my desk computer. But Balder's
Gate three is coming out, and i have my old PC, so I've
plugged that into my TV. No wireless mouse, but I do need a
keyboard because i only have one keyboard and right now I'm just taking it back
and forth and it's it's annoying. Yeah, it's a hype cycle. But
I'm kind of looking forward to Beholdsgate three and I've never played those games.
You want to play it? It looks cool. I see trailers and then
they have Lady D's voice actor playing a creepy, unhinged woman and I'm like,
I'll take that. No, no, no, hang on, what's
the bit that you're leaving out here, John, what's the bit that you're
not mentioning? You can have sex with a bear? Okay? We all
know I didn't know that you can have sex with a bear. Okay,
I swear to god, I didn't know that. Yes, even more intrigued.
Yeah, I played it at early access when it came out, and
it was sick. So I'm very excited. And that's why I want to
go full gremlin. Play it on my couch. You know, I spent
all that money on that couch. I want to enjoy it. Spent all
this money in this chair too, But you know I enjoyed this. How
was a day for a work? You know who won't be spending a lot
of money? Cowboy Bebops, Spike Spiegel, nice bounty hunter who is constantly
broke. I feel like, okay, I feel like we're still talking about
Balder's Gate, but the transition was so smooth. I can't even tell.
He's really bad with his money. I want everyone he's exceptionally bad. He's
also spending the money before he's done it, like he's got it done the
job. It's not good, but I respect it. You know, Gateway
shuffle. So once again, the recap for this episode is pulled from the
Cowboy Bebop friendom wiki. I appreciate everyone who's been maintaining that wiki. Thank
you so much. After escaping from the Bebop Faye, Valentine binds herself in
a bit of a pickle. She's floating through space. She's run out of
fuel and the Red Tail is a that's her ship's name, the Retail,
and it's drifting through space near Gannymede. Eventually, she encounters a rec ship
with a homing beacon and decides to investigate. She's also doing a thing where
she like pings local ships and he's like, Hi, I'm sexy, can
have some fuel? I think I think it's the episode I turned the corner
on her, by the way, as in like, if you think she's
hot now, I just it was just it's okay, James, you're among
friends. Yeah, you can be attracted to cartoons. It's okay. Well,
I already said I was very attracted to the first female character in the
in the pilot class. I don't know her name. It's probably best that
way. The girl the Yeah, there's a there's a scene I think in
like the second episode that we watched here where I was just you were pretty
warm on old Faye Valentine, which I was personally shocked by. Yeah.
Yeah, anyway, I just want to put it out there. Sorry,
I'm sorry. Before before we go on, Jeff, I could just just
dive a little deeper here because you get more specific with turned to the Corner.
Do you think she's a cool person now or are these feelings more advanced?
They're just you know, uh, they're just they're they're shallow, they're
shallow feeling. Okay, superficial. I think I know the specific shot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone everyone knows the shot. Just
what that shot is. It's like physics, physics anyway, there's not a
physical little jiggling here and there. Yeah yeah, yeah, there's tough.
So she encounters a wreck ship with a homing beak and inside she's going to
get get in there and see what's going on. Meanwhile, Spike and Jet
are on Ganymede at the spaceport on Ganymede and they're picking up some breakfast and
they're also keeping an eye on a bounty lad named Morgan who's very obnoxious,
and Jet puts on his steampunk glasses, which are badass because he uses him
to like a r track who Jet looks fantastic, It looks great. Yeah,
cool dude. He uses it's got like face morphing capabilities as well,
and he like points it at Morgan and checks if it's actually him, and
it confirms with ninety four point two percent accuracy the target is Morgan. So
that's their their goal for that. Meanwhile, nearby there's a group of people
who are eating at the same restaurant and they are called the Space Warriors.
Along with them is a lady, a very matriarchy matriarchal certainly, Yeah,
matriarchy matriarchal. That's the one woman called Twinkle Maria Murdoch, who is the
leader of these Space Warriors. They are actually a group of eco terrorists.
Yeah, they're just Peter. Yeah, they're Peter slash vegans combined. I
think Peters also filled with va. Yeah yeah, but like the annoying kind
of Peter, like fucking so and like the and like the fire setting part
of Peter, right, yeah, yeah, the Peter that is being very
like disingenuous about their ship, and I do like something division At some point
they take the time to be like this group used to be cool. Yeah
they do, they really totally do. That's great. I mean, like
Peter a Space Warriors confront Morgan when he's being an asshole and demands he orders
see rats sorte, which they're very upset about since the sea rats have feelings
and they are endangered and they're like this this guy. So they retaliate in
the most peter way possible by pulling out machine guns and opening fire at everyone
on on his table and basically around the entire restaurant. Very extreme, but
you know, deferent times. So they drop a canister behind them that emits
this hologram and an upbeat tune with a woman's voice introducing the group and their
mission to the Protective Ground, which I thought was pretty cool. That was
pretty cool. But they did that to a room full of dead people.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But it's mostly for the way around,
I think. I think it actually loops and it's mostly for the people
who will come after, like the news cameras and shit like yeah, yeah,
so I think that's I also find it funny. Something funny about like
lobbing a thing behind you as you run away to tell everyone who you are.
It's a real like cool guys, don't look at explosions moment. Yeah
yeah, calling card, you know. The entire time, Jet is like,
I know that woman, I've seen her before. Who is she?
And it takes him a little while, but then he remembers that that woman
is twin called Maria Murdock and has a twenty five million woolong banty on her
head which is higher than Morgan. Morgan, Yeah, Morgan so basically yeah,
So like sneaks around and stops Murdoch at gunpoint before she can leg it,
so she's kind of like the backup for them. So Spike and j
are forced to leave without Morgan because he's dead, so they're like, okay,
we'll take Murdoch instead. Shot full of walls exactly, And he also
finds that the bounty on on Murdoch. Who do you hear her? Disciples
cool mother in a very future Rama mom kind of way. She really is
character, isn't she? Like she is mom from Future Rama? And the
kids are so stupid that I fully anticipated like Tress McNeil's voice and like my
favorite mom line is always like shove a bag and shove a sack in it,
you crap, And then she lines them up and slaps all three of
them in one motion. And I was half expecting Murdoch to do but alas
you know. So the crew, Spike and Jet and Iron, I guess,
learned that the bounty put on her by Ganymede government was dropped, which
is very surprising to them and confusing. They're like, what the hell,
why has this happened? She's like super wanted. The Ganymede i SSP Chief
Minister basically had negotiated with the space Warriors who got this done by threatening to
release a virus unless they give back Mother and Tinkle Maria. Meanwhile, Faye
is on that ship and finds a life support pod front man named Get not
Jet, get inside this ship and he's like, please take this to the
I s P. Also, don't fucking open this, you know, zyprick,
And obviously he also dies, but he says he's not really able to
tell her why she shouldn't open it. Fay being Faye is like, what
if I accidentally opened on its own? Scan didn't even skip a beat,
was just like immediately. Yeah, she's she was straight in there and she
opens it and has no idea what it is. But it's a gold thing
object and unfortunately it's the same thing that the Space Warriors keep the virus they're
threatening to release in. It's the same kind of container. Ye seem like
a very I mean, it is a very robust container. I just feel
like you'd have a little bit more protection on it, you know, something
that's pretty robust. Find out it's very similar. It's very so you'd have
a sign on it that says, like, you know, do not open.
It's very similar to when we used to carry her on the showguns.
You know, it's like that ship made very fragile. But case, oh
sorry, I just I just said in saying, oh mate, I just
made a wave form that looked exactly like a dick. So eighteen minutes remind
me of form I was gonna say, So we have that this is the
exact moment Lucy started being a dick. No, So when we have a
capture card system thing in the games work called black was it? No?
Was it Shogun? And it basically looks like some kind of material that you're
smuggling across the border that Ethan Hunt would be after, and the logo like
the Pelican, but the logo looks like, you know, this is radioactile
has a nuclear material the atom animals Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
it's got like the logo, but from a distant it just looks like a
bio hazard warning label, which for me, carrying that through airport security is
a not a good time, and we learned not to give it to you
anymore. They were like, oh, take that away from you, oh
dear, oh yeah yeah yeah. Fate is floating through space still and then
she pings another ship and it's like, oh, I'm sexy, can give
me a fuel road, I'll pay you back. Unfortunately she's here. Oh
my god. Good thing knowing that you're going to be okay if you ever
get stuck in space? Is that a euphemism? Oh I just need a
fuel I'll pay you back. I love lengths to shows goes to It would
be like, Hey, being like a bounty hunter in space fucking sucks.
Yeah. Everyone's broke always and they're all chasing the same bag of cash.
I'm not I know I've said this before. You couldn't pay me to go
into space. I'm sorry, I just I do not understand what is Yeah,
but the the you know, I mean, that's kind of irrelevant to
this show, just because like life is in space. They got over that
many many many. Yeah, if you if you grew up as a you
know, a cowboy, bebar, if you were if you were born in
like you wouldn't have an issue. If you were born in like space newcot
it would just be in space Newcastle. Yeah, made it instantly, how
the space tune Space Newcastle would be horrifying. Yeah, okay, Space New
Jersey would be pretty rough. Unfortunately she's unfortunately she's doing her sexy helped me.
I just need the fuel rod routine to Jet and Spiker on the other
end, which is funny, would have thought the vastness of space and we
run into the people we used the road we ran away from. I mean,
she just escaped from their ships. So it's not too much of a
stretch day imagine they'd be the space. Space is like, you know,
a more basically it's easier to bump into people. And also she didn't get
very far, so she ran out right. The two just sit there and
they're just like laughing. I just quietly listening to her, and then she
like looks out the cockpit window and sees the Beebop flowing around. It's like
fuck, it's damn they damn it. They grab face. Damn it.
She's like, yeah, damn it. They grab face and handcuff her to
her lad on the beebop. Why. While Jet is trying to continue trying
to figure out why the the bounty on mother has been rescinded, Spike meanwhile
showing no regard for face privacy or and just starts going through that stuff and
pulls out the gold object that she shouldn't have looked at. And this catches
Yeah, this catches Murdoch's attention, but no one else's. She's like,
oh shit, but everyone else's. And you get those shots of like Spike
like twisting it and be like, what is good? He's smashing that thing
on the She's just sitting there with her eyes like moving one hundred. I
love that. I thought that was so funny. I love how much of
an idiot Spike can be. Sometimes he's such a dingus. Yeah yeah,
Like he's incredibly confident, a competence up to about ten percent of himself.
And then he's very dumb. Yeah, he's like, what is this bang
bang bang four thousand times like a fucking you know panda with like a you
know, a calculator. It's so insane. Oh god, and well and
then of course the calculate the panda would calculator come from? I like it?
Good? Yeah, yeah, you know Spikes he's twisting it to try
and get open, and Face says that you should give that to the ISSP.
The lad was who died told me to do that, and you probably
get a reward, but Spike isn't buying it. And then Jet gets into
contact with his friend Bob, who's on the who's part of the ISPSP on
Jannymede. Bob's trying to be like all quiet about I'm not telling you why
that why that bounty was counts canceled, but Jet's like, m remember you
stole those Remember there was a lot of those red or like those illegal eye
drops that went missing. You know anything about that? Because I know some
stuff about that. Remember when we worked at in the same department, which,
which although they're not clear about it, is likely a reference to the
Red Eye from the first episode, sounds like yeah, the continuous inspect the
goal object, where you know Murdoch obviously watching in horror as he's stomping on
it and like punting it around, and then Bob tells them what's going down.
Ganymede is basically under hostage in a hostage situation because there's a virus called
a monkey business that could affects the two percent difference between human and monkey DNA
structure, and you takes all humans into monkeys and while leaving it was very
weird. Great, Yeah, it's fine. I also think it's weird that
Bob is reading like a porno mag. Oh. Yeah, there's a lot
of porno mags being read in the next Jeff, we all got needs.
Okay, No, I'm not shaming the porno mag. I'm not sha especially
after some of the stuff you've been saying on this podcast in the last couple
episodes. You know, I'm a pure porn guy. I don't know this
well, now you do. I cannot wait to keep It's fine. I
got clip the other day for saying how much I like boobs. Okay,
it's whatever. I just don't understand how to lose. Yeah, I don't
care like this is this is the last guy, I don't know, track
just phased out of existence. Your internet service provider cut you off? There,
j He's like they were they were just waiting with the finger of the
button being like this fucking guy's way, he's been watching way too much boobs.
I'm just waiting for one confirmation that is him, and he's like,
I love boobs. They're like, come off the way your ever turned off.
It looked like someone literally turned off an old school TV. I'm sorry
that happened. Talking about what I'm upset with about the porno mag is that?
Okay? Why is it? Why are there porno mags in the future?
Like, why is it now? Something way cooler? Yeah? I
guess so, right, like a magazine. I have an answer to this
because in the dystopian future, when you don't want Papa Google knowing your business,
you go out and you buy some paper ass magazines, no digital trail,
no nothing. You can leave it behind. You're good. Yeah,
okay, that's that's a perfectly good explanation, thank you. It's also one
of those things that you don't want to apply too much technology to, you
know. It's like, I mean, this depends on which you're kind I
kind of agree with Tam though, Like there is a kind of like analog
charm, like all the mobile phones are like little bricks in people's hands.
Yeah, you will put something else in your hands, you know what I'm
saying. I do? Uh yeah, I feel like if you're at working,
like because that lad Bobby is at work, so he can very easily
pull pull out a pornom, I get a quick look and share away,
whereas if he has to like fucking plug in a holographic device and project it
all over the walls, it's like that it's gross in various ways. Uh
So, So Spike is still trying to get into this weird thing he's He
shoots at it, He shoots the show. It's crazy. Jet Jet catches
the inner casings and decides to let is it Mama go yeah, my goo
garage, you go exactly you go. That's a really beyond deep cut,
beyond good and evil reference. Yetively played that game for the very niche Uh
go back to the negotiations happening between the Chief Minister and the terrorists, and
the Chief Minister says that he's passed a bill to limit the harvesting of sea
rats, but Maria. Twinkle Maria wanted to prohibit see rat half harvesting entirely,
which is not what they got. So she what she does is she
demonstrates the power of the virus by releasing it into Ganymede. Yeay, yay,
thank you, Kermit the frog. That sounded really like the game over,
sounding like Mario sixty four or something. Yeah, we're like Cubert.
Yeah. She uses Harrison as part of a test for punishment for earlier Harrison
being one of the one of her sons or one of her crew, that
is, she deans has failed him her. The ISSP cruises pursue the Space
Warrior ship into the waste Land sector, but then they figure out that the
ship is a decoy because it explodes and takes them out with it. Twinkle
Maria may it's a speech on a live broadcast, and Spike uses that to
track their signal and they figure out that it's coming from hyperspace. So they're
about to launch the virus from their ship in hyperspace, and Ganymede has because
of that, Ganymede has reinstated the bounty for Mother, and this is the
perfect chance for the Bebop to spring into action and go after them. Spike
jumps into the Swordfish too, which is a ship within a ship in inception
ship exactly, and then he off. He goes into hyperspace and the missiles
are already going that they're like being launched, and he manages to take out
two of them with his charge cannon, but the charge cannon won't recharge fast
enough to hit the third one, so it's looking a bit grim. Fay
meanwhile, has legged it again. She's managed to get away slippery little customer.
She's refilled her ship as well, and off into hyperspace. She's gone.
The actual effort to shoot down that third cannon is becoming a bit desperate,
and Spike starts to realize that he can't do it, so Faye is
like, I'll help you if you give me sixty percent of the bounty,
and they agree and she engages the third missile, but the third missile breaks
off into a cluster of warheads, and sadly, they quickly learned that they
need to disengage and escape from hyper space through the astral Kate as it's being
closed by the Ganymede government. So there was just a lot happening a lot
get pretty metaphysical here for a little bit. It's fine, Like none of
it bothered me. I just was like, Wow, they're they're tying this
up in a nice little package here at the end. I feel like,
especially when when they sort of like play out Murdock's story too, I was
sort of like, oh, wow, Okay, I guess we're just just
you know, sweeping this all up into a nice little dust pan here.
You know. Yeah, this whole episode I feel like, just did not
land for me. And I think, yeah, the way that it just
gets tied up at the end very quickly, so I think if we're doing
a Cowboy Bebop here list this is in the d's this is I don't think
it's I don't think it's a bad episode, Okay, well like compared to
compared to the rest of Cowboy Bebop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I still think it's enjoyable, especially the oh yeah yeah no, it's
the end is great. Yeah, still a fine piece of television. Yeah.
I think I really dug the aesthetics of this one. I really dug
like all those you know, in like space, all the boobies, but
also the only one shot of boobies in this one. I think it was
the next stepisode. I think there's the there's the the Phase, but just
one shot of boobies is all Jeff needs. But they were there were those
commands that was way more I don't know that was prop that was like throw
it props there. What I'm saying is the like the neon like signs in
space and all that cool stuff. Like there was really interesting, especially with
the Space Warriors hologram in the beginning, Like I really dug a lot of
what was going on, Like I really like also, you know the way
they had like fish helmets or rat helmets on and that was really cool.
Like there's a lot of a lot of cool shit. I feel like what
it lacks in narrative complexity or like it more than makes up for in building
a kind of world building. Yes, yeah, and like there is some
really nice little moments. I love when Phase handcuffed and the dog grills that
are and then the next scene the dogs just handcuffed. What the fuck?
Yeah? Yeah, you know, so they need to get out of Hype
Space before the astral gate is closed, because that's how they're basically keeping the
cluster from making it through to Ganymede and they book it for the opening and
just about get through. Otherwise they would have been trapped there in another plane
of reality along with the cluster missiles, which would have been annoying. But
we did get to see the ghosts of the missiles because that was a thing
they also did that was pretty cool. Like, I thought it was cool,
and I I also just watched Interstellar, so I'm like, you know,
one of these things did it better? And it was not custo phenomenal.
Yeah. Yeah, I don't like Intostellar. I'm sorry, John yea,
I understand why. I don't like old like a face and I was
like, oh no, we've got an Interstellar different. Oh no, No,
I'm like, I think that's I think that film's fine. I don't
really remember much of it. That was more a lucy gardem. Oh yeah,
you see, I'm always I'm always on your side. Come on,
we don't enough this. Oh yeah, it's us against Yeah. The Space
warriorship, however, remains trapped in hyperspace, so they still Yeah, I'm
just looking at this. They slow down rapidly, all push forward, including
Murdoch. What was that mean? I don't know, they all slow down
rapidly, all push I guess, like, yeah, they like they like
slow the Yeah yeah, ships down but yeah yeah but they're trapped in the
hyperspace. Yeah yeah yeah the crew does does she kind of they kind of
get like whiplash. I think it is what they're because the virus escapes her
pocket. Yeah yeah, yeah, the sample virus falls out of her pocket
and she realized his spike put it there earlier, because we know he's very
quick with his hands, little teeth. It smashes against the window and releases
the virus into the ship's cabin, thus infecting the Space Warrior. Then back
on the beebop. That was good taste of their own medicine. Yeah,
a nice lot. It's a real good tie off to the episode. Yeah
yeah, they make they make Murdoch look all kinds of fucked up at the
end there with like her face, they suck up her face real n she's
watching English or Japanese English. I thought her voice annoying. Oh yeah,
she's meant to have an annoying but no, but it wasn't even like a
consistent I kind of thought that. I kind of thought the voice actor was
given it sucks. I enjoyed her. Yeah yeah, back on the Beebop
phase, consoling Spike and Jet on losing the bounty, but says, we'll
make some big bucks on the next one, and they're like, we we
all make some What the fuck? So she basically has invited herself to join
the crew, and Jett is like, I'm not getting into this. I'm
just I love Jefts, Like I have no opinion. Yeah, I have
nothing to say about this matter, Like, all right, cool, And
that brings to a close the episode Gateway Shuffle. Yeah I thought that.
Yeah, I mean, look like compared, I'm interested to hear what you
guys think about this one coming up Ballad of the Fallen Angels, because I
was sort of like all over the place on this one. Oh really of
the Fallen Angels. Yeah, so to me, we're going from a D
to an S. I think this is incredible. Yeah, this is one
of my as as a person who enjoys futuristic sci fi with a noir undertone.
This was my ship. Yeah, this, I mean this definitely had
like the Blade Runner flashback stuff real heavily uh poured over the entirety of the
episode. I don't know I think as a consequence of that, it's sort
of I don't know, maybe it's watching these in couples, right, we're
like, you know, uh, the previous one was a little bit more
actiony and more upbeat, and then this one has as much slower pace to
it. I didn't. I did not enjoy it. I just found it
to be I'm saying I didn't like. I wasn't sitting there saying I don't
enjoy this. I didn't. I'm not saying that even evening out the arguments
in US. I mean, we're not arguing, but you know, we
had our first we had sub dubs, we have English versus Japanese, and
now we're having I just have never encountered someone who is even lukewarm on this
episode. Maybe you know what, Maybe I I maybe in my mind was
elsewhere. I don't know. Let's get it. Let's get it. I
don't know. Let's get into it. Let's do it. Let's do it,
all right, Let's get into the episode Ballad of the Fallen Angels.
It begins with Mao Yen Ray, couple of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate and
callous of the White Tag crimes in the meeting a high rise building to sign
a truth and agreement between the two crime syndicates. Through the discussion, we
learned that there's been a lot of bloodshed between the two rival groups and they're
trying to squash the beef. So eventually they signed the deal and they kind
of have exchange words where it's like, you know, next time I'll treat
you to some food or something like that, it won't be poisoned. And
now that we've signed this true, this isn't that awesome And it's like,
yeah, of col R, Like if you say it won't be poisoned,
then yeah, that's not really as reassuring as you think it is. Yeah.
Carlos of the White Tiger expresses his satisfaction with the deal and leaves that
Carlos of the White Tiger, Yes, yeah, it's pretty good. Sure
game spot who's Tam and Jeff's boss, so we should so go on in
that Mal watches them leave and he's like, finally I can relax now because
obviously he's been in a uptight position knowing that the rival gang member leader is
there. But he's watching Carlos or Carlos of the White Tiger ship go and
it suddenly explodes, which is a sign that something has gone very wrong.
A bunch of henchmen burst into the room and they are They immediately kill everyone
in the room, including a member of the Red Dragon Syndicate sorry not remember,
including Mao, the leader of the Red Dragon Syndicate. And then you
slowly learned that these are Red Dragon Syndicate people, and they're mysterious leader who
is very creepy looking, perfective and creepy looking. Correct, he is the
perpetrator of this and he is a member of the syndicate, and Mao says
like him him, trying to betray him is pointless. And then he says
before he dies, he says, like, if Spike was here, you
wouldn't do this. So we learned that there is a history between Mao,
Spike and this person who I believe at this point we haven't given a name
to. He just like pauses and smiles in a very creepy way. Cuts
to Jet and Spike, who are once again on a chase for money twenty
eight million Woolong bounty placed on Mao Yanai for an unknown crime. So that
is the leader that just died. Spike is ready a Spike just jumps into
action and immediately goes is ready to go, and he's like all guns blazing
for it, and Jet is like, WHOA, what's going on? This
seems a bit weird. I think you should tell me what you what you
know about this thing, because its clearly you know something about this male lad
Spikes doesn't really tells him, doesn't really tell him because it's like prying into
his history, and instead he deflects by saying, like, Oh, why
don't you tell me how you lost your arm? I kind of I like
this scene because, like I feel like a lot of the times we've seen
Spike and Jet, even when they're arguing up to this point, there's always
a bit of a kind of like loose undertone to it, like they're more
like, oh, come on or stuff like that. Yeah, but in
this scene, it's like there's an actual legit problem where they don't really understand
each other. And it also shows that like there's there's not they don't not
as close as we thought they were, because like this is stuff from their
path, they still have secrets from each other. Yeah. It also reintroduces
a level of like not tension, but like alertness around their relationship before this
point, you wouldn't believe that they could like turn on each other. After
this, you're like, oh, maybe not necessarily turn on each other,
but you're like, oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah, Like there's
more subtleties to their relationship ship that I think you think, which I think
is respect each other's pasts. But you know, yeah, think when Spike
says that thing like what happens to your arm? I think it's nearly like
there's there's this kind of thing between them where they don't really talk about each
other's pasts, and Spikes saying that was a real like you stay out of
my past, I stay out of yours. That's our deal. Yeah,
that's what that meant. Yeah, Jet kind of this is like why how
is that relevant? I'm not going to tell you. In the middle of
this, Fate arrives and it's just carrying ship tons of shopping bags, and
she's like trying to insert herself into a conversation while also being very loud and
making her presence known on the ship, and the pair are just like,
you stay out of this, don't worry about it. Spike decides that he's
gonna pursue his own lease and leave the room, and Jet is past out
him for doing it. He takes he takes a sword fish too, and
then Jet kind of of the communication. Lion tells him that he's not going
to be responsible for Spike and the Spike is that no problem, It's cool.
I'll take care of myself, which is kind of like a devolution of
the relationship for the first time. Yeah, like they don't have each other's
backs. It's kind of sad. Yeah, but you know, working together
to survive and then to see the cracks form a little bit, it's a
bit. Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't know, Like
there's something maybe I gotta watch this one again. I don't know, there's
something about that, Like I have this thing when I watch I don't know,
I always I'm always looking for like plotlines to be earned right. And
maybe it's like a bad way to watch television because I'm just this like analytical
asshole who's like, oh, this didn't do the thing right, so it's
not good, you know, But I don't know. Basically, definitely,
the season eight Game of Thrones Reddit, I'm definitely I'm just better. I'm
better than anybody on red I'm better than all of the users on Reddit,
Jeff. No one's arguing you're better than Reddit. Yeah. Yeah, I
just think like that. Then, like that the seeds of doubt that were
sort of planted there where I'm like, oh, okay, all of a
sudden, like these two are like these happy go lucky, you know jokers,
this tandem, this this buddy buddy sort of thing. And then I
did feel like, oh, but there are possibly cracks in their relationship.
I found that to be a bit I will say unearned. Again. You
know, we're we're five episodes in, right, so like we're like,
okay, do you ever like so I would say sometimes like I have hung
out with people and I have been like, oh man, this like these
friends or this couple are like the tightest people I've ever met in terms of
like they're so close and they get on so well. Sure, and then
sometimes I don't know what you got for coffee, and there's like just to
st a sentence or a look or something, and you're like, oh,
I think I might have misjudged this a little bit. Yeah, And I
think when I think, like I wonder, Jeff, like I feel like
one of the things you're kind of saying about this scene is it's like a
little jarring in terms of spike, And but I think that jarring, that
jarringness is kind of natural when you're observing relationships between people. Okay, does
that make sense? Yeah, it's it's a perfectly lucid way to describe it.
I think. I think that makes sense, and like that would be
my I think I am a piece of shit, like like you said,
so it's like you're a piece of shit, Jeff. It's just that you
really need to open your fucking eyes when we're watching. Okay, in the
years, I guess too, right, incapable of understanding nuance? Yeah,
I don't know, Like Jeff, I get, I get, I get
where you're coming from, especially if you're saying that's kind of your approach to
media, I could understand. It kind of stands out as a bit odd,
and that's certainly all kinds must start somewhere, right, Like obviously it
has to be. Yeah, so for me, allow this one and that
and only this one. Yeah, for me, I always, I never,
I always had a kind of a looseness, an impression of looseness around
their relationship where they were like friends of circumstance more than anything else where.
It's like a couple of they found that they were each useful to each other
and in a in a very like survival of the fittest kind of way,
they work together try and you know, help. So like this kind of
at this point in the story as well, it doesn't feel too much of
a stress or a difference for me. And also, like Spike is very
detached a lot of times, like he's always it's only now that he's starting
to be shown like in a communal area with other people, but it begins
with him being very isolated a lot, so it feels like he's still quite
kind of distinct from the others in a relationship. Why wait, but I
do get where the criticism comes from. Yeah, Faye continues reading the bounty
information, which they like, don't read that shit, and she's like,
it's right there, what am I supposed to do? And also teasism for
having a fight, and then they leave. So Jet continues to dig into
the bounty information because he thinks it's suspicious. Meanwhile, Face, he's a
video signal come into the computer and it's got a new lead on it.
So she decides that she's going to just take that call and I'll go off
on her own to an opera house where she can find Mao Yen Ray at
his box seat watching. It's a great name, Yen Ray mau yen Ry.
Yeah, it's almost a little Star Wars e but yeah, gulp shit
or glop shit or club. Yeah, she's dressed for the formal occasion,
looking absolutely incredible. It was okay, this was okay, okay, well
I'm being yeah, this was alrighty, everything's great. Hell of an outfit.
And the like key animation of her, like the key poses of her
like just hurt. Their facial expression are just some of the like if you
want like perfect nineties anime. I think it is drawings of phase face in
this episode. Yeah, I could see that. So she is, So
she she goes up to she gets asked about like whether she has a ticket,
and she's like, I don't have a ticket, but I should probably
get up there because you know who's up there in that box and he's going
to be very upset if I don't get up there. And they're like,
oh shit, okay, so you're with that person, I will let you
through it was up to a Maus opera box, but it's very confused when
the person standing there's like, oh, we've been expecting you, and then
immediately build a gun in her back, and the people who like circle her
corner her have done a background check. I know exactly who she is and
kind of like confiscate the keys to a ship. She gets told to sit
down next to Mau and watch the performance, and she does that and then
she has a glance over at Mau and sees that he's dead. It's been
slip and he's just been propped up in there. That was such a cool
reveal, Like this whole fair it's so uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah. At
that moment, the bad guy from the previous scene, the first scene of
the episode reappears and she's like, who are you? And he replies Vicious.
That is the name of this character, which is a cool name.
Is there sugal name? Mhm? I think it could be corny if he
didn't rule, but he does. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree,
Jeff, Jeff, what do you think of his name? Vicious in
general? At this point, I think of sid Vicious, So you know
that's where I'm coming from. So you know. Spike, meanwhile, has
gone to see Annie, an old friend who evidently, we quickly learned,
was also once part of the Red Dragon. During this scene, we see
a picture of Spike, Annie and Mao together. I loved Annie's intro.
She's so great. The Return of the Porno Mags. A couple of kids
like looking at it. I love the designs of those kids. They look
so fucking rade. I love a design of those porno mags. They to
Dennis the menaces, you know. They try and nick the porno magazine run
for it, and Annie gives Chase grabs one of them in a headlock ons
like beat your ass, and then the other one runs into Spike and Spike
kind of like hands are over. I love. I love the way Spike
like, first of all, like nix the magazine from him, and then
as the kid is grasping for it, just he just turns off to the
side, off to the side again, just no effort. I love the
way Spike it moves. The kid bounces off Spike like Spike is a brick
wall though too, which I'm starting to get a little I mean, what
is Spike one hundred and forty five pounds Spikes ripped Spike, bounce a quarter
off Spikes apps. I mean he's also got like a crazy center of gravity
because he can do like martial arts and space and ship. Right, that's
right. I enjoyed. How like when Spike Spike would beat your us,
I'm sure this cartoon bounty hunter would beat my ass. I like how Annie
was holding the two of them in double headlocks and like she literally wasn't moving,
like just like just the kids are like trying to score it out.
But they also like have a little smirk to each other because they're pressed up
against her chest. Yeah, they're like as close to boobs. Yeah,
there's a moment that's fun. Annie sees Spike and she's like taken aback that
she's looking at Spike and like loosens her grip a bit, and they look
at each other and smirk, which is I think a mixture of boobs.
But also we've got an opening to run for it. Yeah, we're gonna
get away. They leg it. So we got inside the shop and we
learned that you know, she's running that shop, and she thought that Spike
had died three years ago. And then they talk about Mao a bit and
She says that she knows what happened to Mao and and and also was aware
that now Spike is going to go after Vicious for this whole thing. She's
like drinking heavily and the Spike is like way too much. Spike is like,
you need to chill, You're drinking way too much. But she paus.
She does a American style free poor and like fills up an entire glass
and then Spikes like, well, if we're drinking for maw, I'll take
this one and like chugs it. And he also loads up Spike with some
artillery. He gets some guns and bullets and this kind of stuff to help
him fight Vicious, and he goes back to the Beebop and also picks up
some grenades and some more guns. My man is going in. Jet tells
Spike that fades off like doing some other thing what she thinks is the lead
for the bounty. And he also is like, you're walking into a trap,
right, you know that Male's already dead probably, And Spike is like,
yep, I know he's dead, but I've got a debt to pay
off and history to figure out. Jet in this moment tells him like I
lost my arm by being heads strong and ob zealous in a way to kind
of be like, hey, you're about to do what I did and pay
a price. The Spike has already made up his mind. He's like,
nope, I'm doing this. Fake calls in and she's like, hey,
guys, do the voice. Do the voice, Tam, the sexy voice?
Yeah, be sexy. Hi, I seem to have got caught.
He's got it? Yeah, anyone else can kind of anyone? I feel
like, yeah, let's do Yeah, keep talking, Tam. So obviously
Spike and Jet watching, Vicious has a tied her up in a way where
her hands are above her head. The lot a lot is visible. Some
shout out to Vicious for that. One shout out to her capture for making
her all sexy tier between the lines there, listener, Yeah, if you're
TAM's talking about, if you're not gonna if you're gonna be tied up,
at least be sexy tied up. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, well I mean, yeah, someone captures it.
You want to look good, right, you want to look good?
Yeah, Like i'd be like, please don't ugly tie me up? Yeah,
yeah, I mean you want to be. I want to incentivize your
rescue. Don't lower your my value here exactly. Jet Jet is like,
well, up to you to figure it out, because you got yourself into
this. But Spikes like, I'll come rescue you, but it's not for
you. Meanwhile, at there he goes down and he finds that his way
to a cathedral. Oh my god, this shuts. Yeah, this is
great. This is the best. This is the best drawings we've had so
far. I think the best art, the best art. Got the background
and like the purple lighting and as is very very atmospheric, and yeah,
there's a mood and tone to it which is quite different from anything we've had
so far. It's only been seen at the very start of the first episode
where we get some imagery quickly flash up that is reused here. So it's
kind of like telling the viewer like, we're going to get some we're going
to learn about that ship now. And Spike and Vicious kind of meat face
to face, and Vicious says like he killed the mouth for losing his fangs,
which you know is softening up as a leader. Meanwhile, to the
left of Spike, he hears some movement and he quickly draws his weapon and
find points it at them and his face. He's being held by someone else.
Captor Captors like, drop your gun, but Spike, I love this
bit. Spike stares at him down the barrel of the gun and like it
cuts to his eyes and then it cuts to Spike and looking and you can
tell he's thinking, you ain't got the guns first. Yeah, just immediately
opens fire a single shot bullet and it kills that guy. And at that
moment all hell breaks. Those people like appear from behind cover and just start
opening fire. So this entire scene is like just lives Forever in gift form.
I've seen every part of this gift. Oh sure, you know what
there was something about, uh, you know, certain things just stay in
your mind. They're burning into your brain for whatever reason. And it was
like the gigantic bullet holes from one of the guns that were ripping through the
pews. Oh yeah, yeah, that I've seen somewhere before. And when
I saw it again this morning, I was like that there. I did
the Leo meme. I'm like, there it is. There's the thing I
saw, you know. Yeah that was wild for me. Yeah, I
love that. I love that, so then we get to see Spike like
taking out Henchman. It's really cooled the way he's like moving between pillars and
like opening fire, and then he kind of runs up some stairs and he's
like it's doing the whole action movie thing of like a guy taking out lots
of other guys, but there's something like a little dangerous and believable about it,
and I think a lot of it's do like the way he's moving in
like the frantic Yeah, it's just because like they are ripping the everything around
him up with those bullets, so you're like, oh shit. And then
later on, obviously, like immediately after this, he goes up some stairs
and he shoots someone who shoots him again in the gut, and he like
takes it so n grim. It's the way they both like hit at the
same time, and he's like on the ground and he's like damn. Spike
eventually gets up and heads upstairs where he meets Vicious. He reaches the balcony
and it's like right in front of this massive stained glass window and Vicious is
there and at that exact moment they like fight and it ends or they reach
a stalemate where Vicious has a sword pressed up against Spike, and Spike is
putting a gun at Vicious. So it's like a stalemate and they both have
like drawn drawn blood and it's Vicious then is like says to him, like
we have the same blood running through us, you know, and we're both
like freaks about violence and monsters. And Spike is like, ah, I
bled all that blood away. I'm different now. And Vicious is pissed off
by this, and he like stabs it, goes for a stab, and
Spike fires back as well, and neither of them quite hit the spot.
Yeah they were aiming for. Yeah. Yeah, it just grabs Spike by
the face in that moment and just throws him through the massive stained glass window.
Oh that's oh my god. And yeah, and then as he's being
thrown out, you can see Spike just underhanded drop a grenade. It's so
good, it's so good, and it like rolls past Vicious and Vicious looks
at and it's like fuck. So we have a situation here where it looks
like both parties are about to die. Yeah, he's he fall he's fallen
for a while, folks. Yeah, and then we fockle up. Yeah,
we get a slow mo fall where a bunch of like contextless imagery is
shown is super artful, Like the music is like this operatic thing where it's
completely like broken kind of pieces of the story, but there's enough repetition and
there's enough kind of common characters and people within those that it helps you threat
together some kind of story or sure, it's it's all the imagery from the
pilot, and there's a few extra in there as well. Yes, yeah,
it felt you know, it feels it feels oddly like kill Bill to
me too. Yes, obviously it's just being like a wedding and like a
lot, you know, But I just yeah, And and there you are
from from Spikes POV back at the glass. You're like waiting for that grenade
to explode. You're waiting and waiting and waiting, and you're gonna wait.
You're gonna be like a minute and a half, I think, more or
less until that thing blows up. It's very funny the two of them at
the stalemate on the ground and Vicious is like, we're both pieces of shit,
aren't we, And like Spikes like no, I kind of do comedy
relief now. I kind of a very jovial relationship with this improv. It's
pretty good. Uh, it's pretty good. And I guess like it reminded
me that like Cowboy Beebup is maybe not maybe not as lighthearted as I wanted.
Yeah, I think that. I think there is still a lot of
silliness to come, but there is a very stick jazz and you're like,
oh, that's the kind of show this is gonna be. I'm just gonna
kind of like mosy my way through this show with a big old you know,
so undertones of like I think there is quite a like somber heart for
at the center of Cowboy Beebup, which I'm not ready for. If that's
not clear, Okay, he'll be. Okay, you'll be think I understand
what's happening. Thank you, John, You're the only one that really gets
me. The images that are kind of cycling in and out shows Spike fighting
alongside Vicious, like back to back. They their friends and comrades. At
one time, we then see Vicious in bed with a woman and Spike is
like walking solemnly up to a window and he's holding a bouquet of roses but
a gun underneath, like he's got a cover, he's using its cover for
a gun. And then here there's a memory where he's like recovering from injuries
and that woman is their humming at the same time, so there's a connection
between them three, a further connection between them three. And she's like doing
a little hum and then Spike kind of wakes up and the humming kind of
carries into his current circumstance and he opens his eyes and fades their humming this
time, which is a nice shot. She says that he's been there for
days to sleeping and that she should be grateful to her for helping him,
and then he kind of like mumbles something. He's all patched up, he's
got bandages over his mouth so he can't speak properly, and she like mumbles
something and she comes over and he's like, you're off key. The humming
sucks. That's such a good little moments, like yeah, and Faye just
like smacks him with a pillow and it just storms out of the way.
Does she like it was very unclear, like all the all that's left is
like feathers in the air with an exploded pillow, And I'm like, Jesus,
what did she do? But I mean, if you've broken if you've
broken all of those bones, anything would be miserable. Oh no, I
mean the pillow being exploded. I was like, oh, I just assumed
she was going to try and you know, suffocating, but that's probably not
kill I'm going to kill this spike motherfucker right now. One thing I don't
like we really talked about is the song that plays over there. Yeah,
the way that it's like in the round in the round and it's like haunting.
Yeah. Yes, so it's the fact that it's like kind of an
uplifting happy song as well. It sounds Christmas Eve. Yeah. Yeah,
it's great. It's good, good stuff, good stuff everyone. Yeah.
So, Jeff, where did this episode lose you? A bit? To
think? I don't know if it lost me. I think I think.
I don't think it lost me. It didn't lose me, But yeah,
I think, like I told you just now, where like I you know,
was reminded of how this show has a serious side and we're gonna learn
about some of that instead of like Bounty of the Week kind of stuff,
which you know, it's still a thing. Yeah, I don't know.
This is definitely the most serious episode so far. Maybe I just don't want
to be serious. Maybe that's what it is, Okay, because we're still
ninety percent stick into Bounty of the Week from here. Yeah, I'm gonna
watch, Don't get me wrong. I podcast and I think like the kind
of juxtaposition between the silly, wacky jazz stuff and the serious stuff that to
me is this show like that's he is strong, so incredible this show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know obviously, like this whole arc between
I would assume I can't I mean, unless Vicious is dead, I mean
I don't, I don't know. I'm assuming it's probably up in the air.
You know. These one of them fell out of a window, many
many stories and just like next scene, they're just like laying on a couch
and bandages. The other guy got blown up by a grenade. Who knows
how that shook out for for Vicious, I'm assuming these two have a shattered
past that will need some kind of resolution. But it's exciting again, really
giving JoJo's a run for its money. I did almost buy Cowboy BeBot merch
almost, probably a big old poster. You know, I showed you the
lenticular that I bought of of Joe Joe and d O. I almost bought
a similar one of Cowboy Bee Bomp. Yeah, and we still have like
twenty episodes to go. Oh yeah, I know. That's that's the beauty
of it. We're just getting started, baby. I think that the next
episode is some good fake if I'm I'm thinking about what are our next two
episodes? Next one is Sympathy for the Devil, which isn't the fake episode.
It's the Oh, don't don't tell me anything. I can't describe any
I can't zebra. Oh, that's the only thing I can describe. Yeah,
if you're interested in some Cowboy Bebop stuff, there's actually a pretty good
selection of stuff on the crunchy roll store. I got my Spike figure from
there. Okay, I would maybe wait before you go on there, just
because the spoilers and the character reveals spoilers. Guys, before we break,
I need to tell you something about anime and my son. Go on.
We had an incident. Oh, so we were down at the Jersey Shore
where I procured my lenticular. We were in an anime shop. Okay.
The store was called anime shop, right, and had a bunch of like
plushies posters, key chains, you know, fairly basic but there. And
I had my son with me because we I said, come in here,
you'll like this place, or so I thought. Uh. Then on display
in the most like uh, like you know, primary focused part of the
entire store was this shrine two chain saw Man. Nice. Yeah. I
was really afraid he was going to say, yahwe so no. But my
son, who is still sort of struggling with like what's scary, what's not
what makes him uncomfortable, he's a little sensitive in that department, and chainsaw
Man kind of fucked him up. The thing really, oh did not enjoy
what chainsaw Man was like. It was a really great drawing drawing of him,
Yeah, with like the whole thing in one out of the head.
And my kids just like, is that guy okay? And I said,
look, I know that's chainsaw Man. He's like yeah, I can read
dad him. Uh. I'm like look, I'm like, I think everyone
loves this. I think this is really good. It's just it's just for
adults and it's not for you. And I said, he's okay, Like
he's fine, he's at the he was like at the peak of some sort
of mountain, like doing that with pose, with his arms and his head.
You know, chains he's still talking about him every day. Whatever way
you whatever way you couldn't change saw mind's a lot. Yeah, So I
like, he obviously isn't gonna he doesn't want to see it. He doesn't
want to know anything more about it. But like you know, it's bedtime,
and this is maybe four days ago, and every time now at bed
he goes, dad, I'm thinking about the chainsaw Man. So Chainsaw with
the chainsaw Man has become like a kind of boogeyman to him. Wow.
Yeah, he just as just as Spike and Jet uh, you know,
Chase after the Bounty of the week. My son also does have a Boogeyman
of the week. And this week, friends, is chainsaw Man like part
of me. He's like, I let him watch the first episode. That's
but he don't I suggestion. Uh. Last week was ghost Face from Scream.
So we'll see what happens next week. That can defend one chainsaw Man.
This one's a good one, folks, This one's yeah really so for
