Okay, I'm gonna pop. This is 21 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.080 hold. Let me let me just let me just say a couple of things 22 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.759 before you explode. Is this edging? Is this podcast edging in? This 23 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.439 episode recap was pulled from the Cowboy Bebop fandom wiki. Thank you very much 24 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:42.560 to everyone who contributes towards that. It's a very well maintained fandom wiki. 25 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:50.919 And yeah, so I have been using the episode breakdowns from there. Yes, 26 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:59.039 yeah, pop off with your top off. So Cowboy Bebop. I've 27 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.159 I had always heard about this show. I think, I want to say 28 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:07.159 like for a long time. It was probably played on Adult Swim. Does 29 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.719 that sound right? Yeah? Right? Uh, but never from the other 30 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.520 side of the world. He had him, Jeff, but I was able 31 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:22.800 to confirm it. So thank you for doing that. I man, I 32 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:29.840 just talk about like instantly falling in love with something. Uh, this show 33 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.400 is doing many things for me that like even Joe Joe's is not doing for 34 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.360 me. Whoa there I said it. That's right, I'm cheating on you 35 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:46.120 different different things. Who Yeah, uh, there is something about this show 36 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.719 that is like equal parts, like almost like Fifth Element and Blade Runner mixed 37 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:59.840 with like a jazzy kind of like bond dressing, if you will. That 38 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.280 I was not expecting at all. I think I got a good taste of 39 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:09.000 it watching the titles song at the finale of Start US Crusaders like we did 40 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.520 last time. But my goodness, Uh, my friends, you picked the 41 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.839 right show for me. I don't know what it is about this thing. 42 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.279 It's just it's just speaking to me in a way that even Joe Joe's did 43 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.040 not speak to me out of the gate. Like I'm just saying, my 44 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:29.319 friends says, talk about a strong start. This one's doing it for me. 45 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.879 I'm so happy you're enjoying it. Jeff's awesome. Oh it's great. 46 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.319 Oh to unfortunately bring things down a little, do you guys feel like maybe 47 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:44.519 Jeff's getting a little two into anime? Yeah? I would like yeah, 48 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.720 Okay, I walk back. We were having a conversation the other day and 49 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.959 he referred to Japan as glorious nipon. Oh wow, damn, I meant 50 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.800 it damn he's I I had Like the other day, I had a meal 51 00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.199 with him and we were at the McDonald's and it was very, very weird 52 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.000 that he started his eating his happy meal with eata ducky mass and I was 53 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:11.680 not happy managing look like, I've always been a weeb. Everyone knows. 54 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.079 This just had to wake wake it out of me. I guess no. 55 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.639 I would have said that about Japan even before I went on my anime adventure 56 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:30.040 was pretty glorious and fairness. Yeah, I do have a Christism or Jeff, 57 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.120 that's of a cowboy bebo oh. Okay, this is the first time 58 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:41.920 I've watched the dub. I don't like the dub. Here's the thing I'm 59 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.399 going to clarify by saying, the voices are good, like really good, 60 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:53.680 like they are excellent. If you guys have already like SINCD with the sub, 61 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.519 it's very difficult to go by. The problem is I had I had 62 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.000 the subs on and I could see the difference is what they're saying, which 63 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:08.360 is not bad. But I have that thing where I know anime it's very 64 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:14.759 basic anime production where they need to say things to match the animation of mouths 65 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:20.720 and they to do that, they add extra words in that feel very unnatural 66 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.720 yeah, which is also it's like, hey, you don't do that, 67 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.600 yeah. Yeah. So it'll be like, hey, he's getting away, 68 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.319 and the lip syncing is still going, so it'll be like, hey, 69 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.279 he's getting away, he's getting in that car. Now let's go. It'll 70 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.319 be like, oh God, no one speaks like that. This sounds very 71 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:44.480 unnatural. Oh that's interesting. I've never really considered that that much about matching 72 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.040 up to the mouths of Yeah. I think like, if you don't know 73 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.560 or you don't care about it, obviously it's very easy. But like, 74 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:54.399 if you know that's what's happening, you notice every like clause or like a 75 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.600 few words that feels feels like it was placed in there to ensure that the 76 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.480 voice doesn't end before the animation of the mouth does, and it sounds quite 77 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.480 it's pulling me out of the experience. I would let it. I would 78 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.360 like to request we go to the Japanese voices. Well shit. Let me 79 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:18.000 just say, well shit, because I've watched the first two episodes with with 80 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:27.519 the Dubs. As per John's advice and other people who have also supported you 81 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.759 saying that The Doubs are pretty damn good as far as dubs go. And 82 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:38.319 now am I about to I feel like pop. Here's what I'm saying. 83 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.600 We are trying to educate Jeff back a lot on the joys of watching anime. 84 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.040 One part of the anime identity is being just absolutely freakish about dubs versus 85 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.199 subs. I feel like we owe it to we owe it to Jeff to 86 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.959 also turn him into one of these freaks by making him go to this. 87 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:03.519 Think about how much fun you have saying that's true? That has defined me, 88 00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:07.079 Jeff, don't listen to these people this wait. Oh we're divided on 89 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.680 this, Jesus, I refuse to even engage in this conversation. The die 90 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.199 has been cast, the Doubles begun, and anything less now would just be 91 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.920 messing with Jeff's poor Jeff's fragile little brain. Oh my god, I how 92 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.120 about we do you do? How do you? How do you? How 93 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:33.159 does the sound of Rewatching those two episodes in Japanese sound like? Watch? 94 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.159 Watch the watch the first two episodes again, watch one episode like what's theode? 95 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:43.519 Okay? Okay? And then and then you you watch Hebert. You 96 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.799 watch episode three subbed and then we'll go what you want to do? Yeah, 97 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.120 yeah, yeah, and then you can cool okay, ichfisode three sobbed 98 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.000 and then let us know in the discord. I want to watch it, 99 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.679 write your message so we can. Okay, that's how we'll play. I 100 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:01.679 spend that and then we'll go from there. That works from if you want 101 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.320 to stick with dubs, We'll stick with dubs and I'll mescilessly mock you for 102 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.879 the rest of your life. Yeah, I mean I want to stay on 103 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.879 a dub story. That's what I'll do from the stubs. I will respect 104 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.200 you for it. Sam. I'm going to say is that when people get 105 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:22.399 will say extremist about subs, those are not people I want to align myself 106 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.320 with. I get it. Listen. Yeah, but we need Jeff to 107 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:31.360 be aware of it and be you know, standing up it. But maybe 108 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.320 the watching of a dub would help him in that matter. Yeah. Yeah, 109 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.279 I feel like to know the roads you shouldn't walk, you need to 110 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:46.000 walk them at these once, I think, yeah, I think it's so. 111 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.679 I don't know. I think there's like this weird sort of thing that's 112 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.759 happening now where I do think it's important for me to experience a dub, 113 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.639 which I did with these first two, I didn't realize. I mean I 114 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.080 think I realized it. For like live action stuff, where it's like I 115 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:07.960 almost always recommend the subs. I think animation you can get away with it, 116 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.679 maybe because it's not as one to one. You know, everything is 117 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.960 being you know, fabricated in terms of like the fully work and everything right, 118 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.879 like you're you're having to put together this sort of string of of all 119 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:24.759 these rich elements, whereas like a live action thing, it's like you need 120 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.320 to hear the sound that was recorded in the room. I get that, 121 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.759 Yeah, yeah, okay, we'll move on to this or from this, 122 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.080 But like I also feel like the the audio English audio track feels slightly disconnected 123 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.600 from the like the audio of the rest of the show compared to the Japanese 124 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:50.159 one. It's the Japanese version feels like it's it was actually one incidental character 125 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.120 in this and it's like he spoke and I could hear like the background hiss. 126 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.480 Yeah you know, it's like like he had been recorded in a different 127 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.200 environment. Yeah, I can hear. It feels like an audio track has 128 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.240 been laid on top of this thing. In a way that is like transposed 129 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.960 and it's pulling me out of it. But again, we'll stick with the 130 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.840 plan. Jeff, watch the next one in Japanese and see how you feel 131 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.519 let us know, and then we'll go from there. Got it. Let's 132 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.200 begin the episode recaps of Cowboy Bebop, beginning with the premiere episode, which 133 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:37.720 is called Asta Royd Blues Harmonica and just Crooner. You know, this episode 134 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:46.000 was written by Keiko Nobu Moto and it is a banger of a open Oh, 135 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.720 like, you would be hard pushed to find a better opening episode. 136 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:58.320 Like it just encapsulates everything that is so fucking good about Killboy Bebop well also 137 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.039 revealing barely anything at all. Yeah, Like at the end of it, 138 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.320 I was like, oh, I've learned nothing except that I just want to 139 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.519 be more around these people, you know, and that's kind of all you 140 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.320 really need to accomplish with the pilot like this, I guess, Yeah, 141 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.240 before we move on, we should just do some like basic groundwork stuff as 142 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.759 well like this. This Cowboy Bebook is created by Shinuro Watanabe, who is 143 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:31.360 a beloved creator an enime of Manga World is also done Samurai Champloo, which 144 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.240 is another one that I would love for us to do. It's Samurai Western, 145 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.000 but instead of the jazz vibe, it's hip hop. Fucking rules rips 146 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.480 so hard. Yeah, I really want to go back and watch it because 147 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.440 I watched it when I was young enough that I think I have more of 148 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.000 an appreciation of hip hop and stuff now, so I think i'd like it. 149 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.960 Yeah. Yeah. Spaced Andy is another one that people like, which 150 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.879 is real, real good. It's like hard to explain what's spaced Andy, 151 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.120 Like, Jeff, you know, you know the way you get like the 152 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.559 Jojo itches, and you want to keep watching Jojo certainly do if you find 153 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.480 yourself getting the bebop itches. Space Dandy would be a good one to go 154 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.799 watch. Space very dandy. Yeah, very different thing to Bebop, but 155 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:22.919 like similar ish similarities. Yeah yeah, not really totally different five but kind 156 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.240 of like a similar aesthetic, a similar kind of thing. Yeah. And 157 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.639 then the other one that I really really like is Carol and Tuesday, which 158 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.200 is about these two girls who basically find each other and become friends through their 159 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:41.440 love of music, and it is wonderful and heartwarming. Are they gals being 160 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.759 pals? They're just girls being pals, nothing more, nothing those And so 161 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.919 can I And then can I give what I believe to be the sort of 162 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.600 like synopsis of what Cowboy Bebop is, even though I've only seen two episodes, 163 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.879 please, I feel like it's a fun experiment to maybe go through. 164 00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:01.279 So Cowboy Bebop is about a bounty hunter named Spike and his sort of like 165 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:11.960 engineer fixerman Jet who roam the galaxy in search of collecting bounties. And it's 166 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.879 sort of like I think the show is sort of like, you know, 167 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.759 the bounty of the week kind of thing, where I don't think so far 168 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.320 there's going to be any kind of like overarching seasonal bad guy. Maybe there 169 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.919 is, I don't know. I mean, you know, I've only seen 170 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.639 two and I can't really draw that. And you know, they have like 171 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:37.360 a sort of nonchalant relationship with bullets and death, and they also never seemed 172 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.200 to catch the guy. They just seem to like get real close and at 173 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.200 the end just kind of like fumble on the goal line and like, you 174 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.679 know, go on with their day and they're kind of like scrap for cash, 175 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.960 strap for cash rather and yeah, this it's that's it. That's what's 176 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.960 so let me ask you a question. If this show was twenty six episodes 177 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.679 of what you just described and like nothing else, just Bounty of the Week 178 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.879 didn't catch him, Oh, well you'd be you'd be down for that. 179 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.480 I think I'd be okay with that. I'd start to wonder, like, 180 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.799 how are they surviving? Like how are they making ends? Meet that dog? 181 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.039 Well, no, they just talked about eating that dog. Please don't 182 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.200 tell me they eat the dog. Episode five gets grim Jeff, Okay, 183 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.440 well we'll get there. But anyway, I do think it is here's what 184 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.840 I also say that just at the top, and then we can get into 185 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.440 the granular episode. I think it's very interesting the musical bed right, the 186 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:39.320 choices that they use for all these action scenes where it's just sort of like 187 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.279 improv jazz and almost there's like a ska song almost in one of these episodes. 188 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.519 But I wonder, like, I think it is insane how much that 189 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.200 colors a show, right, how much that sort of like really defines the 190 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.240 tone of a show. And I wonder, like, man, if you 191 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:02.960 just ripped out like the whimsical jazz that plays underneath all of these like chases 192 00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.879 and gunfights, you'd have a much different show on your hands. So I 193 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.360 think that's truly fascinating, especially what I've extracted this early on. Yes, 194 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:18.120 so distracted an incredible phrase. How why bob Up takes place in a world 195 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.440 where Earth is basically uninhabitable. So people have taken to the stars and they've 196 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.519 colonized various other planets, and as a result of that, there's been kind 197 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:34.039 of like a crime epidemic, and there's an interest like solar system police and 198 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:41.200 bounty hunters which are called cowboys, and basically it is what you explained. 199 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.720 They chase criminals, bring them in and such as the life of a cowboy 200 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:52.000 Our's story. Asteroid Blues, Episode one begins with Spikes Eagel. He's in 201 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:57.960 a church of some kind. There's church bells ringing and a bouquet of flowers 202 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.799 is being carried down this streets. But that Bokay also hides inside it a 203 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:11.480 gun, and pretty immediately we see several people being killed. There's a there's 204 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.920 a when he runs out of bullets, and when he does that, like 205 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.720 there's a he does he pull out a grenade? Is it grenade? Yeah? 206 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.880 Yeah? He pulls the pin on one and kind of gives a bloody 207 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.720 smile. Yeah, he does a little smile, and that's all we see 208 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.519 of that moment. Cut to another scene, and we've got the Bebop traveling 209 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:37.400 through hyperspace. It's kind of like near Mars, and we're introduced to Jet 210 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.440 Black, one of the supporting characters or key characters main characters of the show, 211 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:51.000 who tells Spike that dinner's ready. Spike ass ways, he's currently like 212 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.000 practicing martial arts. He's like stretching and limber Spike very spelt man. Yeah, 213 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.680 very scene boy. Yeah, yeah, but clearly familiar were of self 214 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.799 defense and martial arts. Ready to replenish his muscles, and he's told that 215 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.920 Jet has made his specialty, which is bell peppers and beef. Jet also 216 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.400 kind of once they go into like their seating area, he tells Spike about 217 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:25.119 their next target, Asimov Solinson Asthmov being a reference to Isaac Asimov, the 218 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:30.599 author who's part of Asimov is part of a syndicate who killed his own men 219 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.160 in a confrontation between his group and an enemy syndicate. Spike is like, 220 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.880 uh, yeah, cool, but there's no meat. There's no beef in 221 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.519 this spell Pepper didn't know what's going on? Would you actually eat that? 222 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.359 Yeah, Bell Pepperson beef like it sounds okay, but not wouldn't like a 223 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.599 stir fry. Sure. I feel like when you live in a world where 224 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.559 food is like space, food is probably shits something like Bell Pepper and beef 225 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.960 is a staple. Yeah, but like you seem like there are onions in 226 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.359 there too, Like I think I can get down with that. I want 227 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.839 to turn it down. Some high quality olive oil in there yet, Yeah, 228 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:14.079 you're gonna be okay. Yeah. So Spike complains that they should have 229 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:18.240 loads of money from their last bounty to you know, avoid having situations like 230 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.319 this, but Jet is basically like, well we did, but then you 231 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.559 cause a whole lot of damage to cruiser ships and there was medical bills and 232 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:32.920 police officers got injured, so we had to pay for that ship. So 233 00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.119 that's why they're having the money. It's a really simple scene, but when 234 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:42.559 you look at how much community or how much information is being communicated about these 235 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.400 characters with like every fucking sentence, it's like it's kind of masterful and it 236 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.000 doesn't feel like yet, Like it doesn't feel like an exposition dump, but 237 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.039 just feels like a conversation between these two people. But it's so like, 238 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.640 oh, this is their dynamic Spike does this, Jet does this? Jets 239 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:04.119 responsible one, Spice kind of like it's all in there. It's really cool 240 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:11.079 comprehension rather than saying which I really appreciate because I think, you know, 241 00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.440 in a lot of modern media especially, it's something we've lost, like there's 242 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.000 always a tendency to over explain everything, and so for them just to be 243 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:22.359 like, oh no, this is you just dropping in on them. This 244 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.920 is what a regular day for them looks like, is something I love. 245 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.880 Certainly troubling Spike doesn't seem to understand that there are consequences to actions, so 246 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.400 that's one into their relationship. But okay, that's one of the main things 247 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.640 we learn about Spike is like he seems to be kind of aloof in a 248 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:45.079 lot of ways. We also learned the things that we learn is like he's 249 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:52.000 clearly quite fit and versed in martial arts. Yeah. Yeah, we learned 250 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:57.720 that kind of their ongoing struggle is with money and making ends meet, and 251 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:04.240 Spike is also a bit reckless. So the next bit Jet carries on kind 252 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:11.319 of briefing him on the next target, and Asimov has gone to Tijuana TJ. 253 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:17.319 Spike says that he doesn't want to do small jobs, having looked at 254 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.759 as the most bounty of two point five million wolongs. But Jet is like, 255 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:29.359 we we gotta do this, and he convinces Spike to go to TJ 256 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.599 by telling him that the Karnetas are out of this world and so so Earth 257 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:40.160 exists, like people are there, I exists. It's not particularly great to 258 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:45.400 be I believe it mostly has become uninhabitable. And culture, the same cultures 259 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.400 that we have now have kind of like exploded into space in a lot of 260 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.400 way. So you get to see things like you'll see Japanese and you'll see 261 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.119 like Western staff mashed with Chinese, and yeah, even even the way like 262 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.559 a lot of the characters dress. It's like there there's mission smash of like 263 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:04.559 different fashions and different cultures, and it's like it's so good. Is there? 264 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.400 I always get nerdy about this. Is there like any indication of like 265 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.960 what year it could possibly be? Yeah, it takes place in twenty seventy 266 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.640 one, twenty seventy one. Yeah, I mean there's a bit where you 267 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.960 see. No, I don't think it's this place. I think it's the 268 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.559 next place. But he walks up to It's like this place is established in 269 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:29.440 twenty twenty five. Yeah, obvious important thing to keep in mind is like 270 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.839 that was felt much further away when this show was of course aginally made, 271 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.440 and we're like, of course approaching it. Yeah, this is it's that 272 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.599 same sort of back to the future effects, also a kind of beautiful future 273 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.880 where the Internet kind of doesn't really exist. Yeah, it's it's it's almost 274 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.960 alternate history no Internet. You can have an alternate history and an alternate future 275 00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.880 no Internet. But Bell, Pepper and Beef is absolutely normal, which is 276 00:22:52.880 --> 00:23:00.160 well. Yeah, so the ship comes out of hyperspace and and Jet is 277 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:07.119 like he's he's like gathering information still, and Spike hops in a ship, 278 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.519 the Swordfish, and away he goes He's going to see Laughing Ball. Meanwhile, 279 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:22.039 on Tijuana, Asimov enters the l Ray Bar with First alone, and 280 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.160 then we see he's with a woman who is pregnant. Her name is Katrina 281 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:32.599 Dolinson or Katarina. In the bar, there's three older men who are sitting 282 00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:38.720 there talking about building a wall, was it or building wall Yeah, they 283 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.079 were, Yeah, they were. They were like reminiscing about like it's okay, 284 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:47.160 it's a it's a space wall. Let's to keep everyone together. Yeah, 285 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.200 to keep space everyone from flowing away. Yeah. One thing that really 286 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:55.000 like struck me just in this whole sequence is like, how beautiful. So 287 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:59.079 many of these drawings are oh my god, no, amazing, even like 288 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.480 those old men. Each of those old men are wearing clothes that they've had 289 00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.599 way too long, that are all stretched out and that they can't really fit 290 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.400 into write anymore. And even the way that's illustrated, so you know that 291 00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:17.559 those are these kind of guys. Like, I think that's what made me 292 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.839 think ful element is like that attention to detail, with the painstaking amount of 293 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.440 like you know, stuff crammed into every frame. You know, I think 294 00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:30.680 it's awesome. I did. I definitely think like I can understand I see 295 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:36.039 that fifth element like world building detail. Yes, and this scene is actually 296 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:41.960 an homage to Robert Rodriguez Desperado. Oh okay. The bar in this that 297 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.319 they go to el Ray is a replica of the bar in that movie, 298 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:52.440 which was phil filmed in Akuna, Akuni, Acuna. That's apologies, obviously, 299 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.119 Asimov looks a bit like El Mariachi played by Antonio Bandius. He's got 300 00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.880 the long hair, he's got a dark colored wardrobe, and he's traveling with 301 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.839 a Hispanic woman who looks a little bit like Salma Hike. And he goes 302 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:14.000 on to basically defeat single handedly a bunch of mercenaries, which is almost the 303 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.680 same thing, pretty much the same thing as Desperado, but rolling back a 304 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.519 bit, so he goes to him and his girlfriend approached the bar. Old 305 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:27.359 men are talking about, you know, who helped build this wall, and 306 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.720 kind of like these whipper snappers wouldn't be here today if if we didn't do 307 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.880 this hard work. Asimofsis Down makes an order for vodka and tomato juice. 308 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:44.880 Bartiner says, don't have any tomato juice, I believe, which is basically 309 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:49.480 them talking in code to begin a deal of some sort. You guys like 310 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:56.079 a bloody Mary drink, gross, I'll taste it every now and then because 311 00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:02.359 I feel like they do differ from bartender to our tender. But it is 312 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.079 not a drink of choice by any stretch. I mean, the only time 313 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:10.440 I would try one would be what if I'm on a plane and my my 314 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:14.480 taste buds are dull. I'm not a big fan of tomorrow, Like in't 315 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.599 that? What's what do you guys go to drink? To the people who 316 00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:23.000 drink, well, usually a beer, but a cocktail drink. I'm a 317 00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:30.079 vodka dirty martini. I love a glass of wine. I live a glass 318 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.400 of white wine. I if I'm out and about and it's a cocktail man, 319 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:38.480 you'll probably get a meal. I don't mean like drinking beer if I'm 320 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.920 out in public, because it makes me gassy, but I do enjoy it 321 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.240 same. I can drink three beers and I'm so ghassy, like I'm going 322 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:49.359 to bed. Yeah, bloody Mary is one of those drinks. As someone 323 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.279 who doesn't drink that occasionally how to look hot and go like that seems like 324 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:56.920 it could be interesting. I do like, but that's based on a visual 325 00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.960 of it, and it seems like it's like kind of spicy and a little 326 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.559 bit. Yeah it can be. Yeah, that's I really love a good 327 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.240 whiskey seur. But the line between good whiskey seur and bad whiskey seur it's 328 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.079 really thin, and a lot of places do not do them right. I 329 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.839 don't think a lot of places doing good non alcoholic cocktails these days. Oh 330 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.559 yeah, it's real good. Yeah, we went to that place in San 331 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.680 Francisco. Didn't mean that man was a mango drink that was Yeah, that 332 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.319 was really good. There's also a place in San Francisco that does non alcoholic 333 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:37.079 like champagne, wine like whiskey and that kind of stuff, which is wild. 334 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:41.480 I went in there and did try the non alcoholic wine and it was 335 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.559 what I imagine wine taste like. And the lady who was working there was 336 00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.799 like, the only thing that we haven't figured out is how to give it 337 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.000 body yet, which is like, that's interesting. It's like slightly thinner to 338 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.240 drink than most wine. Probably doesn't have that thickness. Probably, like we're 339 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:04.839 working on it with the non alcoholic alcoholic is figuring out. H So the 340 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.960 the kind of conversation is a signal to go around the back and talk about 341 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:17.160 a deal. Bartender goes around the back and they start a transaction to buy 342 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:26.880 and sell something called bloody eye. And as the bartender requests a demonstration of 343 00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:32.119 the bloody eye, he kind of like whips it out and and starts to 344 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.400 take it by He like sprays it into his eye did not like that. 345 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:40.079 Yeah, I thought we were going to get I mean, I've seen it 346 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.599 before, but I always forget that it's like a spray, but the way 347 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.240 that it goes, I thought we were going to get the like the dead 348 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:51.480 space too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they tease you at the top 349 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:52.480 there, They're like, this is going right in there, you know, 350 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.359 really interesting way of taking a drug, right. I don't think i've seen 351 00:28:56.400 --> 00:29:03.720 any other fiction at you remember in Eyeball Pool No what's that from Kevin and 352 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.720 Perry Go Large, which was a movie that was always played on like ITV 353 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.359 two in the middle of the night. There was a guy called Eyeball Pool. 354 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.799 It's not a good film, and I think it will hold up terribly. 355 00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.960 Yeah. Almost. But there's a character who would have a shot of 356 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.960 vodka and he just put it in his eye. Ibaw pol another another kind 357 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.440 of that, that horrifying thing outside. This is like another good bit of 358 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.839 world building for Cowboy beep up. The administration of the drug. It's a 359 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:41.160 little attention to details, striking like stays in your mind as much of this 360 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.000 show does. Yeah, And there's so many little like mechanical things like that 361 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.759 in the show, like even just like how the like panels on the ship's 362 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.240 work and how like all the gears and switches. Yeah, I really like 363 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.400 that. There's one scene where you can see the panel of the ship that 364 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.960 Asimov is in and you can see like the squares laid on top of each 365 00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.920 other to almost show like the ideal flight path that you need to be in 366 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:06.680 when you're flying. It's like really cool and like in my brain, I 367 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.200 was like, I really want to pilot a ship through they'll skate the squiz, 368 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:15.720 but it's it's not happening. There's there's some it's like this are appreciation 369 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:23.480 of like machinery going on, like just like vents opening, like flaps, 370 00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.599 you know, just that kind of stuff like such a like you can tell 371 00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.160 right away that the people behind this and I don't know because I know, 372 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:34.440 like a rock it was like a one man show kind of thing, right, 373 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:41.839 but like there's got to be some kind of wildly cohesive agreement and shared 374 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.519 vision that is being executed here. That's like I was well done. In 375 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:52.640 all likelihood, there's probably one person on that staff and they love machinery more 376 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.200 than you love whatever you love. Yeah. Yeah, Often, like it 377 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:02.880 does come down to one person, as John indicated, like the creator and 378 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.920 like especially with the way manga and then like an anime can work, it's 379 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:08.480 like it's always comes from the mind of one person and they have a team 380 00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:14.440 to help execute on that vision. But who knows with this one glad to 381 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:19.759 hear that the flaps are exciting. You love those flaps, baby, Yeah. 382 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.319 So while that's happening, there's like a group of men that are surrounding 383 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:33.279 the bar and they just open fire. Immediately the bartender is shot through the 384 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.319 head. But Asimov is at this point, he's under the influence of bloody 385 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.200 Eye or in the dub they call it blood Eye, which I'm not fan 386 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:48.759 of, and it basically his vision goes completely read but everything looks slow motion 387 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:53.960 to him, and he's like physically more powerful. So he just starts tearing 388 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:59.359 through all these people. He's like dodging punches. He's like last minute getting 389 00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:06.279 out of the way of bullets and recks this bar elsewhere complete contrast to what's 390 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.799 happening in that bar, Spike's Bagel is sitting on the ground with a pipe 391 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.400 in his mouth smoking, his stomach is growling, and he's sitting in front 392 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:22.640 of bull who is like doing some sort of kind of like reading bullet outstretches 393 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:27.559 the hands, pouring sand on the floor, and then tells Spike that he's 394 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.720 going to find a red eyed coyote at the north end of the town and 395 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:36.599 that he will be targeted by a woman and death will follow, which is 396 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:40.599 an ominous prediction. But Spike is really concerned. He's like, I've already 397 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:45.440 died once because of a woman, which is an interesting yeah, which is 398 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.480 like I paused on that for a second. I was like, Okay, 399 00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:57.359 that's just say out loud. I guess that's important. Did like this man 400 00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.960 is cooler than we can an then we could ever dream. I'm noticing, 401 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:06.079 like all of our heroes have been cool. Spike Spiegel is the coolest anime 402 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.960 man speak. His last name is Spiegel Spiegel. Yeah, he's he's I 403 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.680 have a figure of it behind me. I bet you didn't, And like 404 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.599 he is number one cool guy oka of anime? Did that that? What 405 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.880 is that triggering you, Jeff? That he was Jewish? Well, you've 406 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:27.319 been dieing once from a woman means that you're Jewish? Oh no, Spiegel, 407 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:32.279 Okay, Spike Spiegel sounds like a Jewish guy. Yeah, what did 408 00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.880 that kind of like throw it? Oh, like that he died already, 409 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:40.920 Like I don't know, like he's certainly I don't think it's a throwaway line 410 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.599 or maybe it's sort of like never just just throw that into a casual conversation 411 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.400 like I never go up to someone and being like I've been dead before and 412 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.000 it's because of the opposite sex. I don't know. Hey, no, 413 00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.839 no, I was literally in a car with someone yesterday. We were chatting 414 00:33:54.920 --> 00:34:00.480 and he's talking about this like fun trip he went on, and he just 415 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.640 threw in and I was dying at the time, and the ChIL is fine. 416 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.240 He had it, sow it, but it was, you know, 417 00:34:06.279 --> 00:34:08.679 one of those you couldn't be dying and then not die and then you know, 418 00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:14.719 make a great recovery. We're all dying. But didn't. But it 419 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:21.400 didn't start to connect any thoughts for you. Not, I mean, the 420 00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:27.360 opening scene didn't come to mind. No, well, well there you go. 421 00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.679 We watch it in Japanese, yeah, because I mean it starts with 422 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:35.960 him in a rough spot, so you know, oh man, you now 423 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:39.679 I'm starting to put together things and you're okay, don't don't don't spoil it. 424 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:44.559 That was the spoiler that it's on the screen. It's in the apisode. 425 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.719 I most scene. Dumb dumb brain didn't put it together. Yeah, 426 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:51.480 maybe that's what happens when I watched something in the morning, I guess. 427 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:57.199 But did you try watching this with Stacy watching this? Yeah? Uh, 428 00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.880 the time of day that I'm watching it, she's sort of just like out 429 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:04.960 having her coffee. Yeah, I feel like she she'll probably enjoy this. 430 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.480 Yeah, Like I would love to hear her opinions, especially in contrast to 431 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:14.320 the things that she's seen you all the way she's seen you consume jojo and 432 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.599 what she knows of it. I'd love to hear her because this is like 433 00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:22.760 almost secondhand smoke anime learning or like amibi and anime learning for her, though, 434 00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:24.719 I don't know. Yeah, maybe she'd be a little more considered and 435 00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:29.199 adjustice so she can enjoy something with her husband. Yeah. I was like 436 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:34.199 beaming about it to her in between episode one and two, But now you 437 00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:37.440 got me thinking about the fucking like with the wedding and stuff, and it's 438 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:42.000 like, oh shit, yeah, what happened? Okay, Well, look, 439 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:47.039 sometimes I'm really persiptive, like so much information times. Yeah, aren't 440 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:51.920 we all? Yeah? Right, And then sometimes I'm just like, oh, 441 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.280 maybe Bruce Willis is dead the whole time, So actually I got that 442 00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.039 pretty early. But spikeheads out and balls like me, may he be blessed 443 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:07.039 by work on tanker. Jet meanwhile arrives at the bar where Asimov went on 444 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.000 his rampage and grabs up drink and he's like, I'll take this on the 445 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.559 house and starts drinking. Then two more Syndicate people arrive and they're like, 446 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:19.159 oh shit, Asimov has been at it again. We need to He's unstoppable. 447 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.559 Basically, Jet has hidden behind the bar and he's like just listening to 448 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:28.519 what they're talking about about Asimov and his plan and and like they them needing 449 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.360 to get the Bloody Eye back. And I feel like this scene is kind 450 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:35.639 of like like they've showed you that Jet's like responsible, like you know, 451 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:38.199 you see that on the ship, and then here it's like he sees like 452 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:43.079 a massacre and the first thing he does is just lifts some drinks from the 453 00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:45.079 bar, and it's like it's it's through the show saying to you, this 454 00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:47.920 guy's cool too, Yeah, Yeah, he's cool. He's seen some shit. 455 00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.519 Yeah, this guy has been through enough shit that this is normal for 456 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.519 him. And it's also kind of like a thing where it's like, oh, 457 00:36:57.559 --> 00:36:59.880 when he's out in the world, he'll have some fun as well, 458 00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.000 and because he like pops up and he knocks one of them out with a 459 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.320 bottle of water and then grabs the other and a headlock and he's like, 460 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:12.480 tell me more about this planet, which is fun. So Asimov basically stole 461 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:16.760 the Bloody Eye and from a syndicate and legged it and the goal was to 462 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:22.679 sell it and move on. Spike, meanwhile, is stops at a gas 463 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:27.239 station and he takes a purse and when he comes out to wash his hand, 464 00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:30.360 Asamof is standing there, and there's a real tension in this scene where 465 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:36.880 Asamof is like shaking from the calmdown of the Bloody Eye and he's like on 466 00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.039 edge, still ready to attack, and he's trying to figure out whether Spike 467 00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.119 is a threat or not because he they've not met before and he doesn't know 468 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:46.760 that Spike is about he hard nut. Spike is being cool as fuck. 469 00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:51.719 It just comes out, washes his hand and says something like it's better to 470 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.400 leave the tap running. So there's something about that exchange. I like, 471 00:37:54.480 --> 00:38:00.039 I first saw this episode like twenty years ago or something like long long time 472 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:04.480 ago, and this little exchange in the bathroom. I don't know why it 473 00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:08.079 has always just stood out to me so clearly. Yeah, I think it's 474 00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:10.199 how do you mean clearly? What do you mean? As in I just 475 00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:14.880 remember so much about it, Like you know, like the drawings of like 476 00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.239 Asimoth like all kind of shaky over this scene, and I guess the kind 477 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:21.679 of like the subtle tension to it, but most of all the line where 478 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:25.840 Spike's like, if you leave the water running stops it getting because it's like 479 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:30.760 it's such a mundane thing to say, but I guess it's nearly kind of 480 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:35.719 like that. It kind of relieves the tension of the scene a little bit. 481 00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:37.079 It does. It's also kind of like a distract. It's like so 482 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:39.719 much again, like so much is happening in this scene. One we get 483 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:45.320 to see like how Spike is good at reading people. But I also feel 484 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:50.800 like it's a kind of small it Maybe I'm interpreting it in my way, 485 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.880 but I feel like it's a it's a nod to Bruce Lee because we see 486 00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:59.239 him earlier and he's like practicing, and he's got very Bruce Lee like vibe 487 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.400 to him, and it was the most well known Bruce Lee quotes is like, 488 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:05.800 be water, my friend, you know what you need to flow, 489 00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:07.360 et cetera. When he's talking about fighting, And the rest of this episode 490 00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:13.119 is kind of them showing how Spike is able to like stand his ground as 491 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.239 well as being about hunt. So that's what I kind of read it as 492 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.760 a little bit. But I think he also in one of the later episodes 493 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:22.320 he literally says be water. Yeah. Yeah, he references it again, 494 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:30.119 but so that that bit of advice was to not clog the drains. Spike 495 00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.440 walks away whistling, nothing's going on, No, no fight happens. While 496 00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.679 walking back to the ship, he runs into Katrina and kind of bumps into 497 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:44.559 her and helps her pick up a food and starts applying what the kids call 498 00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:50.320 the riz. Oh man, Spike's got riz coming out. He's not even 499 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:55.039 trying, and it's just everywhere man's. By the end of this yeah, 500 00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:01.719 he's raise. No, there's the mopping part of the little graphic, but 501 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:07.800 that's okay. They're laughing together Asimov is watching from Afar. I really like 502 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:15.639 Katrina about her, like, yeah, it's there's something so fucking tragic about 503 00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:19.679 her, I think because she's wait, hang on, Jeff, what what 504 00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:25.280 were you going for there? Boobies? He's looking at boobies. She's very 505 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.519 she's very sexy. I don't know what else to say, like, Jeff, 506 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:36.480 and this is like, but that's not it. I don't used to 507 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.760 be salacious. Okay, yeah, I don't like her, like I don't 508 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:47.400 like her pregnancy bullets. But other than that, likes, uh, there's 509 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:52.480 there's one bit of read like earlier when it's asim off and the bartender go 510 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:54.679 in and she just kind of leans over it and just like steals a little 511 00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:58.039 bit of the foam from the beer. Not the titty shot, Jeff. 512 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.960 She gives a little beards so cute. It's great. I love that. 513 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.199 John. Lucy and I are like, she just wants to escape this life 514 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.760 and get to Mars, and you know, she's unfortunately fallen in love with 515 00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:17.079 someone who's you know, a unwholesome person and it's a tragic like almost kind 516 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.440 of doomed to failure and kind of story. And meanwhile, Jeff is like 517 00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:25.840 boy yo yo yo yoo. Yeah, female Jeff is turning into the fucking 518 00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:31.760 techsage very well. Yeah, first of all, I'm very sparing with those 519 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:37.559 comments, but sometimes they need to be said. That's that. Yeah, 520 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:43.239 Yeah, it is tragic though tragic story, especially the end. It's tragic. 521 00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:45.880 After bumping into Katrina and putting a rise on her, he's kind of 522 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:47.519 like helping her put her groceries back into the thing, and he turns and 523 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:52.840 walks away and see you later, and she looks down and goes and and 524 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:58.119 Spikes turns around and he's got an entire hot dog in his mouth again food 525 00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:01.559 motivated, doesn't have much opportunity to eat, is always hungry well, and 526 00:42:01.760 --> 00:42:07.119 is a bit of a thief. This is to show that he has slight 527 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:12.199 of hand, which will come into use later on. He like takes the 528 00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.320 hot dog out, and then a bunch of packets of cigarettes also, and 529 00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.079 he's like, you want these as well, and she like laughs at him 530 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:24.960 a little bit. They talk about like a she they walk to Spike's ship, 531 00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:29.119 right, and he's like telling her about the ship a little bit, 532 00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.159 and she's talking about how she wants to go to Mars and it will be 533 00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:37.119 nice. And then Spike is like only the rich are truly happy, and 534 00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:44.840 which is a kind of hint at the hierarchical structure of the world that will 535 00:42:44.840 --> 00:42:51.039 be more delved into later on, hopefully. And then the conversation eventually takes 536 00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:55.320 a turn when his Spike changes his tone and reveals that, you know, 537 00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:00.440 she's not going to get anywhere, and he's like the tone change is enough 538 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:08.119 for her to realize that he's a bounty hunter and yeah, he Asimov appears 539 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:14.679 from behind and like starts strangling him early. Yeah, it was pretty narly, 540 00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:17.079 and for a minute it looks like it's over, Like it looks like 541 00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:25.400 he's done. Katrina basically begs him to let go, and asimof does, 542 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.239 but as he's falling. As Spike is falling to the ground, we see 543 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:36.079 his hand kind of just brushed by Asimov's jacket, which is sick. He's 544 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:38.760 like barely conscious and he's just sort of like you oink. Yeah. Yeah. 545 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:44.639 So again almost an immediate payoff for the sleight of hand thing that we 546 00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:51.760 see in a comedy context us in a serious context. Again, like Jeff 547 00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:55.360 said, like he although he's a goof, he's also got presence of mind 548 00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:00.599 and understands the assignment and we'll stick to it. Yeah, it's got rised 549 00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:06.599 as well. Asimov is talking to Katrina and he's jealous because of the way 550 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.440 she interacted with Spike and the fact that he didn't let her kill him. 551 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.079 He wanted to kill him. Katrina is just like, I just want to 552 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:15.760 go to Mars. I don't want to draw any more heat. Spike, 553 00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:20.360 meanwhile, is just on the ground. He's taken the opportunity to just have 554 00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:27.840 a little nap even though he's not. Yeah, and he's covered by a 555 00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:34.599 shadow which is Jet, and then Jet is telling Spike about Asimov and everything 556 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.440 that he's learned and how he's trying to get a bloody blood eye bloody eye, 557 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:42.480 and then Spike, in a very very cool way, just kind of 558 00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.719 like pulls out the bloody eye and like flicks it around on his finger and 559 00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:46.679 he's like, yeah, he's gonna setle some of this. So it's just 560 00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:52.400 like the two threads are now being tied together in a really cool, elegant 561 00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:57.480 way. Spike gets up and he's like stretching, reveals all that, and 562 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:01.079 then says and repeats bulls phrasing about on the north side of the city and 563 00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:07.920 a meeting a woman. In the actual Japanese they called the area that they're 564 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:13.119 going to meet a Zona Norte, but in the subs they just or in 565 00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:19.199 the actual or dubbing they just say north Side. No one seems to ever 566 00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:23.679 mention Zona Norte in the English version, less I missed it. The ice 567 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:29.360 asp the cops basically are such for Asthma as well as the syndicate men and 568 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:35.559 Spike and Jet as well. So we've got three person or three group collision 569 00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:45.679 about to happen. There's a bit later where they appear at another bar and 570 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:50.199 he's like staging a fake drug deal, so he's wearing Spike is like sitting 571 00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:52.159 down on a bench and he's wearing a poncho and he's got his hat very 572 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:58.440 low over his head and he's wearing a sombrero and a poncho ya, and 573 00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:04.400 that is a sombrero I think is a reference to the Man with No Name 574 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:12.119 trilogy, the Clint Eastwood Sergio Yeah, which obviously a huge, huge influence 575 00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:17.760 on this. And it ends with a Spike throwing the revealing that he's about 576 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.000 a hunter to Asimov asim of being surprised he's still there. He throws the 577 00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:23.760 bloody eye into the air and then pulls out a gun and shoots it out 578 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.400 of the air, which looks again cool as fuck, And then a fight 579 00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.639 begins, a hand to hand fight, which I think is one of the 580 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.760 greatest scenes in anime history. Like you just think, did the table flip 581 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:45.199 bit flip? The animation that goes crazy? Watched it? Like the way 582 00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.719 Spike is moving, like yeah, and like he's moving the camera is moving 583 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.760 almost the opposite way, and his like poncho is like swaying in the wind, 584 00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:57.559 the hat coming off, and like the reveal at the same time as 585 00:46:57.599 --> 00:47:00.320 that song coming in. Oh my, it's crazy because like if you compare 586 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:04.159 it to like a lot of modern animation, not all like there is really 587 00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.119 good modern stuff being made as well, but a lot of modern animation, 588 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.960 there's a very like float charted approach to making a scene feel epic, and 589 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:14.159 it's a lot of lighting, it's a lot of compositing, it's a lot 590 00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:17.360 of like you know, moving camera, and it's just fucking incredible how a 591 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:21.480 scene like this, which is really little more than just a camera and some 592 00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:28.119 animation blows it all away. Like this is so hard to like come up 593 00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:31.639 with scenes that are better than this. Yeah. The song that plays is 594 00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:36.920 one of my favorites. It's called Rush on the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack ost One, 595 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:38.199 So if you want to listen to that, you can find that very 596 00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:43.719 easily on YouTube or whatever. Just search for Rush. Yeah, it's on 597 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:49.039 Spotify as well. And it slaps so hard, Oh my god. Yeah, 598 00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:52.280 So we get that fight, and this is where he tells Asimov that 599 00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:58.719 he's not focused and that he's not a chameleon, so he can't see everything, 600 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:01.719 which goes back to that vision of his eyes popping out when he takes 601 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:06.719 the bloody eye, and of his creams have their eye eyes raised and they 602 00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:14.239 can swivel them to see more. And Spike just handles him like so badly. 603 00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.760 Like compared to the last fight where it was like overwhelming and strength, 604 00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:22.159 we actually see how how nimble Spike is. He's like leaping over table, 605 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:28.159 using it as leverage to spin kick and delivering these like rapid fire jabs and 606 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:30.920 it is brutal. Yeah, and it's so cool because like you can really 607 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:36.000 feel Asimov's like desperation, like he's so close to getting out of here, 608 00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.599 but Spike's just so chill, so easy going. Yeah, and he's like 609 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:45.079 he can't keep up with Spike either, which is world. There's there's almost 610 00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:54.920 like there's almost like a some of the animation made me think of like late 611 00:48:55.800 --> 00:49:01.199 like seventies Disney animation, you know what. Yeah, when it's like hand 612 00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:07.239 animated, lots of frames drawn together, right, we're like like snow snow 613 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:10.400 white. It's like it's always like the forties, right or something crazy. 614 00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:15.159 But like, I mean they used to use a lot of human referenced stuff, 615 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:20.320 right, Like there's just there seems like there's so many cells, like 616 00:49:20.599 --> 00:49:23.239 so many you know, I don't know how they measure that in animation, 617 00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:29.639 but like it's the mixture of like it looks so smooth the animation, but 618 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:34.000 there is obviously a hand drawn quality to it. Yeah, so it looks 619 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.480 like, you know, the human. It feels and looks like a human, 620 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.480 did it, Like especially in the paper right, and with Asthma's like 621 00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:44.880 eyes too, and like the sort of flow with the hair, Like there's 622 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:50.159 something it's very disney asque, like old school disney asque about him and the 623 00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.000 way he was drawn. It's really really cool. While this fight is happening, 624 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:57.679 Katrina is there, and she's trying to like we see the viewpoint from 625 00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.440 down the barrel of her gun. She's trying to find a point to shoot 626 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:02.639 out Spike, but isn't able to do it because he's moving really fast and 627 00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:07.079 he's almost like it looks like he's pivoting in a way to keep Asimov like 628 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.400 in the frame as well, so she can't get a clear shot at him, 629 00:50:10.400 --> 00:50:14.280 which is really cool. And then as that happened is happening, we 630 00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:19.039 get the third party in this kind of struggle appear. The gang members show 631 00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:22.559 up and they start getting in on the fight, which makes Asimof and Katrina 632 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:30.400 leggate. They grab a vehicle and just start to bail, but before Katrina 633 00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.400 is able to get in, she is shot in the belly, and we 634 00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:37.039 finally see that she's not actually pregnant. That bump on her stomach is just 635 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:43.960 holding all the bloody eye that Asimov stole from. Oh it's the bloody eye. 636 00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:47.519 Yeah, I thought, like, bumpy, is that what you said? 637 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:53.920 Bullet pregnancy? Bullet pregnancy. Yeah, so they look like shotgun shells, 638 00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:59.440 yeah, they do, kind of. They do telegraph it quite so 639 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:01.400 stupid. Why I would think, why, like why would she be like, 640 00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:07.119 she's just the criminals, Like Lucy is right, it looks very the 641 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.000 bump looks very smooth for what's in there. Oh totally, yeah, yeah, 642 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:15.079 totally. So they get into the car that look, the bloody eyes 643 00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:17.280 are spilling out of her. She's doing her best to keep it in keep 644 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.079 as many as she can. They get in and Asimov turns to her and 645 00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:27.320 starts berating her for losing the bloody eye and not like being worried that she 646 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:31.960 was shot at and hit, which you can see her realize something in that 647 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:37.599 moment, and it seems like she's realized that they're both too far gone and 648 00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:43.280 he's only in it for the deal, and he's been overcome by the they've 649 00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:45.639 at various points they referenced that he's been using his own supply. He's been 650 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:50.800 getting high off his own supply, and it's impacting him. So whoever Asimov 651 00:51:51.039 --> 00:51:54.840 was before this hole happened, the person that Katrina fell in love with and 652 00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.440 try to escape with, we don't see that. Yeah, we don't see 653 00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:01.559 the full on the include story. We just see the ending as it's just 654 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:07.159 about to use that. It's really interesting, Tim because like I always view 655 00:52:07.480 --> 00:52:14.239 Cowboy Bebop as like, like we we haven't met all our main characters yet, 656 00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:17.199 but for the three main ones, it really feels like this entire series 657 00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:22.480 in a way is really like an epilogue to the rest of their lives. 658 00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.159 Yeah, you know, like they're not going on a big quest. It's 659 00:52:25.239 --> 00:52:30.280 not that it's something else. We'll come back to that later. I'm sure 660 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:35.800 I was. I was surprised that, like she had to go too, 661 00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:37.719 you know, yeah, yeah, I mean, like, this is gonna 662 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:43.400 get arrested, is what happens. So we're gonna power through this part ending 663 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:49.119 it which jet arise with the Hammerhead and to save Spike in this whole thing, 664 00:52:49.960 --> 00:52:53.480 and Spike is able to get away and retreat because of that, asim 665 00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:58.880 Off takes more bloody Eye and a Spike is on their tail and they go 666 00:52:58.920 --> 00:53:02.760 into space and there's a massive blockade of ISSP cruisers that they just know they 667 00:53:02.800 --> 00:53:07.400 will never get through. As they're trying to leave the astral gate of Tijouana, 668 00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:10.880 and she realizes that it's not going to happen, and she pulls out 669 00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:15.440 a gun and then we see from the outside of a ship just the sound 670 00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:19.000 of a gun shot and the flash of it and it stops. Yeah, 671 00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:22.480 it's so good. It stops. Spike in like he's he's like horrified by 672 00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:25.719 what he's just heard. And then like they he kind of like his ship 673 00:53:25.800 --> 00:53:30.840 slowly drifts to catch up to theirs and she you see that a Katrina is 674 00:53:30.840 --> 00:53:37.159 cradling a dead asthm off in her hands and she's looking at Spike and then 675 00:53:37.480 --> 00:53:42.039 and then she says, is it see you spasically and then she just says 676 00:53:42.039 --> 00:53:45.880 adios. She says adios, and then that's it. We hear we see 677 00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:51.719 that they're done. Cut back to the Beebop, get a real nice shot 678 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:58.920 of her as well, like kind of drifting, yeah, yes, rough. 679 00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:01.800 We cut back to the Bebop and Spike is once again practicing his martial 680 00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:06.480 arty in a different part of the ship this time, and we see Jet 681 00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:08.559 going to tell him that the Pep Bell Pepper and Beef is ready. And 682 00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:15.199 I think that move of move of scenario scene is really important because it shows 683 00:54:15.199 --> 00:54:20.079 you that he is trying to come to terms with what happened. He's in 684 00:54:20.159 --> 00:54:23.159 a area which is like more exposed to the to the space and the stars 685 00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:28.320 around him, which I guess in my mind made me read it as like 686 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:30.920 he's trying to find a place where he can think and try and recenter and 687 00:54:31.079 --> 00:54:35.400 gain balance, and like seeing the vastness of the space while also doing his 688 00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:39.280 like martial Larst routine really helps him with that. So a lot of nuance 689 00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.159 to Spike and being really explored here in what feels like on a perfunctory superfocus 690 00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:51.400 level, just a romp with an action heroic type of thing after everything he's 691 00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:55.639 seen, we kind of go back to the very first beat of the episode 692 00:54:55.639 --> 00:55:00.840 where it's like well, bell peppers and beef, and it's like it's like 693 00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:06.280 like where everything Spike has seen, it's kind of just another fucking day for 694 00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:09.559 him, and it's like wow, god damn. Yeah, I mean, 695 00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:15.719 I gotta imagine this is like it's the closest thing to a perfect pilot. 696 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:19.800 I think agree, Like I just think you sometimes you stick the landing and 697 00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:25.320 like so blatantly obvious to me. We're like, I'm just yes, like 698 00:55:25.800 --> 00:55:30.239 everything I would say not not even close to my favorite episode. Okay, 699 00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:32.800 wow, that's that's that's awesome to hear. I yeah, I'm just I 700 00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:36.320 know, and like I said, maybe top five, but it's good. 701 00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:38.519 I just know what I need to know, you know, And and it 702 00:55:38.639 --> 00:55:45.519 got me so excited to just like keep keep going and maybe I will watch 703 00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:49.880 the pilot with subs as well. Just do it to be so good, 704 00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:53.920 really good, really good. All right. So that was the premiere episode 705 00:55:54.239 --> 00:56:00.159 season opener for Cowboy Bebop. Ordinarily, it would cover multiple episodes in an 706 00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:02.880 episode of jeff Bizarre Adventure, but this time due to time constraints, and 707 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:08.159 also we went pretty deep into this episode because like the establishing one way, 708 00:56:08.159 --> 00:56:10.800 we want to kind of get our initial thoughts. The fact that we could 709 00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:15.679 and we're nearly left to it like no choice only speaks to the strength of 710 00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:21.079 the show exactly. Yeah, for sure, And I don't want to give 711 00:56:21.199 --> 00:56:23.559 any episode short shrift, and given the time constraints that we have, we 712 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:28.039 thought it is better to just focus on one episode this time and then come 713 00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:31.559 back to it next time with a little more time to work with the other 714 00:56:31.559 --> 00:56:36.400 episodes that we work on. There may be a slight delay in releasing those 715 00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.840 episodes because we will be traveling a few of us we have like some commitments 716 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:43.320 that we need to figure out, but rest assured we will be back soon 717 00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:46.400 as always, John, thank you for joining us, Thanks for having me, 718 00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:50.480 guys.
