Welcome back to another episode of TCT Thursdays, man.
TCT Thursdays.
Yo, we about to crush the game next week I'm hyped right now
I'm so hyped
you know how hyped I am right now bro
that you played Cardi just now
what's going on here man
what's going on man
he's the music
I would have never thought
we've been doing
spaces for three years.
When we always talk about what song we're going to play in the beginning, we always
chop it up about it and shit. It's usually me going for the Cardi, but today I see you
in for the Cardi. I've been nonstop listening to the Cardi. Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee.
Yeah, I've been nonstop listening
to that album. You already know, man. All 30 songs
on repeat. 35 now.
I know. I know you have.
I know you have. But no, that shit's
got some banger. Bro, that shit's a banger.
I can't hold you. I'm not a huge
like we always talk about.
His music kind of came
out in a different generation
i was still banging a certain stuff and so like but some i mean his music musicality like and his
like i mean he's got a cult behind him i mean let's be real so like i mean that music is it
not bro and that that that shit's a banger that shit's a banger so and then you got and then
you you got cardi and trav on that so like that's just just uh just straight heat and you know man
we about to crush it tomorrow man we're gonna crush this pokemon game tomorrow we're gonna
crush this this drops you know what i'm saying that's how it's going down, like, that's just how it's going.
So how you doing, man?
You ready for tomorrow?
Are you prepared?
I got you by my side, baby.
I'm prepared.
You crazy?
I got the GOAT.
I got the GOAT next to me at all times.
I'm good.
I'm good.
And, you know, same for the people in this space.
You got the gold by your side, man.
You in good hands.
But other than that, man, you know, I'm excited for the new drop.
I think we're, it's already, it's overdue, I feel like.
I feel like, I don't know, we've been going for prismatics for so long and nobody could ever
get there I feel like prismatics wasn't even
a real drop because like
that shit wasn't anywhere to be found
like you know that shit just came out
and it was gone after that it was just like a
super tease
but you know we definitely
we're ready for the new stuff ready
I'm ready to see some new arts I'm ready to see
some new pools some new chase cards.
Talk about this Journey Together.
It looks dope.
Yeah, no, it is.
No, it's definitely dope.
The Journey Together set is the English version of battle partners which is the Japanese
source material for the set okay it features it brings back a lot of
trainers like if you played the games throughout the years or watch the shows
you are familiar with some with these trainers and their pokemons and their significance like Lily's could fairy and
her Pokemon you have in in is probably going to be your most well respected on
the English side so you know you got in Zoroark, Enzreshiram, those are two of his cards that are in this set that are going to be huge.
And then you have Hop and his Ashyon, and Lily and her Kilowattro and her Belly Bolt.
So you got some heat that's going to be coming out
that has already came out in Japanese.
Okay, now,
this is,
so this is the reason I say
why I put the title.
Okay, the Journey Together
is going to correct the market.
Because
historically,
sorry,
historically, in English sets, trainers with their Pokemon don't do that well.
Okay, as far as market price goes.
Artwork, gas, doesn't matter. If it's a trainer trainer and their pokemon cards just don't perform all that well they don't perform as well as the pokemon standalone or a pokemon
picture with more pokemon in it right like that is those cards do well so like from this set
those cards do well so like from this set from this set please don't buy any singles right now
also do not over pay why do i say that all right i. I'm going to look up.
While I'm looking up the price real quick of a booster box, which is the 36 count, I want to say what's up to Jonathan, my brother.
How are you doing?
Jonathan, what's good?
What's up?
What's up?
um you know on day number two of exercising getting back to uh you know the body i had
before with this benjamin button genetics um it's been a it's been a uh it's been a good week
you know i've been kind of chill you know taking a little easy i realized that i went i was going
hard for like a month straight every day on here and i'm like dang i might i might need to kind of
chill a little bit before i burn out and um everything's been great man everything's been
great um i have no complaints um i just got this dope ass rendering of uh my wolf with the sword
from the goons gb uh did it it's so badass i had to make make it my PFP. Now I want it on everything. It's just
so dope. I got no complaints, man. I got no complaints. I'm excited. I'm excited.
What's up, man? I've been seeing you do your thing too at the gym, man. I'm hyped to see that,
man. I'm hyped to see you do your thing, brother. Keep doing your thing out there. You already know us fly guys. We got to stay looking young.
You know, it's in the genes. You already know the vibes, man.
100%. 100%. Matter of fact, the question is, how y'all been, man? You know what I'm saying?
You know, I know. I've been grinding. grinding i've been working i've been busting my
ass at work i've been doing my thing i'm a little under the weather i feel like a little like i
don't know i've had like a little bit of a sore throat i feel like it's the allergies you know
um and um yeah man you know just just hustling man getting ready for for the baby to come bro
you know the baby is
almost here brother like we was at the doctor today and the doc was like hey like um your due
date is next friday but i don't know if you out you guys are actually gonna make it um to next
friday she said but let's see let's see what happens man i'm excited though man like you know
dang you're you grinding in your kids on the ground to get out to get in the world.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
That's beautiful.
I am.
I'm super happy for y'all.
I'm happy.
Everything going great.
Everything's on track.
There ain't no problems and complications.
I am super, super happy.
And we'll be even happier.
I'm gonna get to see them. So I'm going to be even happier than I'm going to get to see him. I'm going to get to see him.
So that's going to be done, too.
We get to take a group picture.
But, yeah, man.
Yeah, no, God bless Moe for real, man.
She's had a very smooth pregnancy.
The doc was like, no complications.
So if he doesn't come out this week then she said like you know we'll figure
it out on friday to see what we do if they have to induce the labor but 40 42 weeks of what 41
weeks is oh she said she can go up to 41 weeks you know what i find that beautiful um my daughter
wouldn't drop so i had already been up 36 hours she wouldn't drop they So I had already been up 36 hours. She wouldn't drop. They put the bed full vertical. So I had to hold her mom up along with asleep literally holding them like that for like two hours.
So she took gravity, pulled her, pulled her down.
So, yeah, I completely understand. But I'm be honest with you.
I know some people find babies being born beautiful.
I think it's the ugliest shit in the world.
They look like little aliens when they come out.
They were like, you want to hold them like, yeah, sure. I'll hold them.
But to me personally,
they are the ugliest thing ever.
It takes months before they get their color
and then you really get to see them.
But other than that, they look ugly as shit.
Nah, man.
You know, they make you watch these videos and shit again so like you know last time i watched
a video of like you know birth i think i was in middle school so um and that shit traumatized me
that's why i never watched it again but now since we're going through it you know i gotta i gotta
see what the hell i'm in for. But I'm ready, man.
It's nothing crazy.
I came out the womb like that.
Yeah, but all markets would understand is all soldiers say that they ready for war until they get that first bullet shot at them.
And then they might piss on themselves.
So as long as you don't throw up or pass out, you're going to be good.
But I'm telling you.
I can't guarantee that, brother.
I can't guarantee that I might pass out.
I might.
You're strong, brother.
You're strong.
I think you're going to be all right.
Dude, I'm strong.
But when it comes to seeing blood, dude, you already know, man.
My stomach is real weak.
Okay.
Let me tell you something.
Hey, Marcus, it's the equivalent to the movie Aliens when it bursts out of your chest, but it's coming from the other end.
Yeah.
It's going to be wild.
Man, man, you seen Men in Black 1?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Hey, you got to disassociate, okay?
So you have to not think about that what you're doing when you're doing it.
That's always helped me with, you know, going into a customer's house and this woman had
like 30 cats and the smell would literally knock you out.
And I had to literally not think about what I'm doing
at all.
So I think what really
helped me is that I'd already been up for 36 hours.
Like, I don't even really remember.
I didn't even know
the bed, the chair folded out to a bed
until I had slept for 18 hours.
And they were like, Mr. Fulpe, you could have
folded that out. I said, why the fuck you didn't tell me before
I took sleep?
It could go all kinds of ways,
but it's going to be beautiful at the end of the day,
but I'm telling you, I am
not a person that finds newborns cute.
They are ugly little aliens.
Shout out to Larry. Hold up. I just seen
you post that up top. Marcus was. Larry just got the Charizard. Hold up. I just seen you post that up top.
Marcus was. Larry just got the chars on.
But wait, there's more. There's more?
If you get the chance to come up here, what we're going to do is we're going to do a live clock.
Basically, I'm just going to screen record it.
And then I'm going to post it in the chat and show y'all what he won.
And we'll just do it that way.
Wait, hold on.
He just won.
Wait, what?
He won last week.
Oh, snap.
I wasn't here last week.
My apologies.
I know I got doc pay, bro.
I'm broke again.
So you know I had to show up the day.
So for those who don't know what happened where I've kind of been,
I've been trying to stay on the timeline, but I've been kind of in my age.
I got into a car accident at the beginning of the week.
And so, yeah, I got rear-ended on the highway.
Are you good, bro?
I'm okay.
He's lying.

And so I went in and the lady was like, oh, you got severe whiplash.
She was like, you may be all right right now, but in the next two...
She was like, next three to five days, you're going to feel ten times worse.
And I was like, yeah, whatever.
And then day two, I was like, oh, I'm, my damn, I do feel kind of worse today.
But I mean, it ain't like I don't feel terrible.
Like then I woke up today and was just like, oh, God, everything on the left side of my body.

I can't tell you who he is because, you know what I'm saying,
you know, reasons. But my man's been in the business for like 30 years bro this dude knows everybody

So, yeah, man, he hooked it up for the MSRP.
So we got a booster box, a booster bundle.
And that's the thing, right?
I could have got a booster box if I wanted it.
But I know I'm getting a gang of shit tomorrow from GameStop with the discount.

So we rocking it that way.
So we can't make that shake.
those who don't have pre-orders in place or don't want to go stand in crazy long lines look i'm
telling y'all barnes and nobles always restocks on the days of releases every time. I have always gone to Barnes and Nobles, and I
have yet to miss anything that has
released that I wanted.
I have always got it out of
Barnes and Nobles. One Piece,
Union Arena,
Disney Lorcanna, and
Pokemon.
Okay, I got a question. I got a question
for you. So when is the release?
The release is tomorrow
so i gotta go to the gym tomorrow okay go to the gym
bars and nobles is next door it's next door oh well i would go stand at bar in the nobles first
because i mean look they're going to have the product when they open.
Why? Because it's a release date product.
So they've got to have it open.
They've got to have it on the shelves when they open.
So while everybody's at Best Buy, everybody's trying to get to Walmart or trying to get to GameStop and going to all these type of places,
you could casually walk into your local Barnes & Noble go get your little
Starbucks go get your product and walk smooth the hell out now this is why I talk about Barnes & Noble
so I have the about the premium membership okay it's 40 bucks for the year why did I buy it because
I have already made my money back and i save money every time i buy
cards so i get i think it's like five or ten percent off when i purchase cards at barnes and
nobles and then i get like cash back rewards so like every time that i bought cards from barnes
and nobles i've got a five5 coupon back. So right now,
tomorrow when I go to Barnes & Nobles,
I've got $20 already
chilling and waiting for me before
I spend any money.
Don't forget, ladies
and gentlemen, if you go to Barnes & Nobles,
not only can you get cards, you can get
manga and you can pick up women.
Hella manga.
And hella women.
That's what I thought he said.
Yeah, that's what he said.
He's not.
Hey, don't fade Barnes and Nobles.
They love a man who can read and collect.
He's not wrong.
They also have a lot of Funko Pops.
If you like Funko Pops,
Barnes and Nobles is also another
Funko Pops sleeper spot.
If you like board games, tabletop games, people sleep on Barnes and Nobles is also another Funko Pops sleeper spot. If you like board games, tabletop game, people sleep on Barnes and Nobles,
but they're not just for book nerds.
They're here for the weebs, the otaku.
They're here for us.
They are indeed.
Like, for real, bro.
Like, it's lit, bro.
Like, they cater. They really do cater to everybody bro
and it's it's about i fuck with barnes and nobles and that's why i got the premium membership because
like my daughter likes to read my son likes gaming he also likes to read so like the shit comes in
handy so like me not just not just buying cars, but buying books.
Shit.
Getting free drinks every time I go because I buy something.
They little in-house Starbucks.
Why not? Go get me a
matcha.
Get yourself the fucking matcha, man.
Get the iced lavender
matcha. If you don't
know how to order your matcha, just get that.
It comes with the old milk.
It's beautiful.
It's delicious.
It's great.
Are we talking about Starbucks?
I'm going to get that.
I'm going to get that tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, Starbucks.
Bro, I'm there every day.
Dude, that iced lavender matcha, delicious.
Yeah, don't do the latte version with the lavender.
I'm telling you, that shit's gross.
But the matcha is good.
Okay.
Nah, I like the latte version. Hell no. Why'm telling you that shit's gross, but the matcha is good. Okay. Nah, I like the latte version.
Hell no.
Why don't you like it?
With lavender, bro?
The lavender cold foam, bro?
Bro, honestly, the lavender
don't even taste like lavender. It tastes
like a vanilla cold foam with lavender
coloring. That's all it really is.
With the oat milk latte,
like, with the lavender, it's just not it.
I don't taste no lavender in it, so it doesn't really bother me.
It actually is like a nice, smooth, creamy.
It just gives it the aesthetic color.
I wasn't in there.
I got that shit.
It doesn't have any flavor.
It tastes like vanilla.
It tastes just like vanilla.
Nah.
It does.
Nah. We does. Nah.
We'll agree to disagree.
All I'm saying is I go to Starbucks every day and they were like, why do you do that?
And I'm like, what?
And they're like, get this lavender latte that's on the menu.
It's nasty.
And I was like, it's kind of growing on me.
And then they just handed me a different drink and they're like please dear god drink this instead and i drink
it and i'm never going back i'm getting the vanilla oat milk latte with two pumps of mocha every time
that sounds good that sounds good too that does sound good that does sound good to you
it's phenomenal honestly the the girls at the starbucks down the street
they know and love me and they would never steer me wrong.
I mean, didn't they at first try to get you to get that latte with the lavender?
Well, no.
I went in and saw it and asked for it.
So, like, that was my bad.
But, like, you know what I'm saying?
They gotta let you fail
before they pick me up, you know what I'm saying?
To me, it kind of sounds like
Shorty's kind of like swindled you.
And when you was like, oh, shit, she's bad.
So, yeah, fuck the lavender shit.
Because it sounded like you liked it in the beginning.
And so Shorty said it was trash.
No, no, no.
I'm just saying, hang on, hang on.
Hear me out.
Hear me out.
If they really wanted to like start something with me, you know what I'm saying?
They can come catch these hands of Soul Calibur like they do every other weekend at my house.
Oh, damn. You know what I'm saying? They can come catch these hands in Soul Calibur like they do every other weekend at my house.
Oh, damn.
Man, Soul Calibur, that's a game that transcends the time well, man.
They need to bring it back, bro.
They should.
I mean, yes.
But you know what game I want them to bring back that no one really ever talks about?
Bloody Roar.
I don't know what that is.
Bro, I was just playing that the other day.
My bro has like an emulator.
And that was on it.
Old PlayStation emulator.
Man, that game was
the shit, bro.
That was...
And Killer Instinct, too.
You remember Killer Instinct, bro?
Yeah.
Combo.
Combo.
Oh, my goodness.
That was a good game, too, bro.
I'm just upset that they can continue every other fighting game except for Soul Calibur, bro.
Do you know how many goddamn fucking, like, oh, my God.
I'll be sitting there.
I'll be playing, oh, fuck, what the shit called?
There's literally an anime dropping about it next month.
God damn it.
Guilty Gear?
Guilty Gear, thank you.
They got a million Guilty Gears, but they can't give me another Soul Calibur.
Bro, and the way the weird graphics are right now with the real engine pop,
they can make it look so dope like
that what is that uh is it virtual fighter that they just show like a little short video of i'm
like bro you can make it look as dope as that or anything that's you know they can do a virtual
fighter now think about it i remember playing virtual fighter with the octagon on Sega Saturn.
So, like, it was like this octagon that you put on the floor
and you actually threw the punches inside
of it. It was like your first, like, for real,
like, virtual fighting game.
When you threw a punch.
You had that?
I didn't have it.
I had the white friends.
My white friends had it.
My white friends had it.
I'm going to go over here for the weekend. Not even My white friends had. My white friends had. I'm going to go over to the hotel for the weekend.
Yeah, not even my white friends had that.
I didn't have that.
My spoiled uncle.
I'm the white friend and didn't even have that.
Yeah, none of my friends had that.
None of my friends had that.
Like, that shit blew my mind.
I went to my uncle's house to spend the night,
and my Aunt Brandy bought me some pennies.
She was the first person to buy me a pair of Penny 1s,
and then my Uncle George had that,
and I was just like, this shit's revolutionary.
And that's when I was like, man, I'm starting to die.
Wait, they copped you the Penny 1s?
Yeah.
Dude, wasn't that?
That was like $200 at the time.
This shit is bread.
Yeah, man. It was a very expensive shoe
for it's time i was the first i was the first nephew lucky you i was like the first man
i was i was i was the yeah you we already got our nephews nephew that's what I was. Until I got older.
Until I got older. Now I'm the favorite nephew.
My other cousins, yeah, no cap, but
they trash. Yeah, I set it here
live, recorded in the space. If they
run it back, you can hear it.
I feel that.
Alright, alright.
I'm going to get back to the Pokemon
real quick.
Alright, journey together. All right. All right. Look, look, look. I'm going to get back to the Pokemon real quick, real quick. So, all right.
Journey together.
If you, like I said, don't buy singles now.
It doesn't, like, the price, so I just looked it up, okay?
So the price for the enhanced, which is the one that comes with the promo,
the Reshiram promo, the ends Reshir with the promo, the restroom promo, the ends restroom stamped promo.
Okay, that's the, that booster box is going for $264.
Without the promo, it's going for $248.
None of the singles, by the time everything's said and done, will make it to where it justifies you paying that sticker price to rip those packs open.
It just doesn't make sense.
Because the promos, so the chase cards right now in English, right?
Everybody's talking about Lily's Kefairy.
The only reason people are talking about lily's kofari
being a top chase is because it's the battle partners top chase in japanese however in japanese
they are shown to like trainer cards more than the english and the americans do that's just what it is
americans do that's just what it is so while where trainer cars do really well in japan
they don't do so well on the english side right so like some of the trainers will be hot like in
in is going to be hot regardless you're going to have ends rush around in zoro art in zoro
is probably going to still remain to be a top chase but cards that
you should be looking at are like solo pokemon cards like the articuno which the articuno i
have it in japanese gorgeous card gorgeous card which packs uh the from journey together the
battle partners okay yeah i'm about dude i'm gonna be like huh every like five minutes because
i'm in the bz discord watching docks and open packs and then i'm in here listening to y'all
no i get that that's facts because uh you know we'd be doing i gotta show love to everyone you
know what i'm saying i'm not i can't not man respect bro i respect yeah i love that and you know the bz that's that's fam here man you
know i'm saying we rock with bz the long way which is why we've got given away like several claw
spins here we're going to be doing a live one here in a little bit i'm gonna do
a giveaway so i already did the giveaway um uh the homie larry, so I'm going to be pulling
it here in a little bit, do the screen recording,
and I'll post it up.
And then we'll go from there.
I'll send it to him later.
Ouch.
Yeah. I'm going to make that shade.
Sorry.
My body's hot.
I got to get up and walk around a little bit.
See, that's the thing thing i can't sit still
too long because then i start to ache but um did any i know i don't know if anybody this might be
a sore subject for people who tried uh was anybody able to secure uh a destined rivals

And this was me waiting an hour to get in.
I was like, you've got to be shitting me.
So at the same time, I kind of simultaneously went in on my computer too.
And so like maybe like another 30 minutes go by, get in on my computer.
As soon as I get on the computer, it pops up on the front page.
Pre-order, Destin Rivals.
I was like, yes!
Made it all the way through.
And I actually was able to secure one ETB.
That is the first time I was able to secure anything on Pokemon Center.
I think you're the only one
out of all of us that was trying and actually got through possibly possibly
there was some people in the bz discord that got in um there was actually he was the reason
there was a guy in there he was the reason that i stayed in and kept like trying, he was the reason, there was a guy in there, he was the reason that I stayed in and kept, like, trying.
Because he was like, no, just stay.
He was like, I was in there for, like, 45 minutes before I got in.
But then I got in and they were still there.
It's one per person.
so I got in that bit and made that shit shake.
So I got in that bit and made that shit shake.
Yeah, I was at work, so unfortunately, I didn't have enough, like, I had time because I was at
work, so, like, literally just sitting down waiting for, like, this, like, one of my clients,
but, I don't know, it just kept on refreshing, refreshing, and it was just like, all right,
man, I got to go into the building now.
So I know once I go in there and if I put my phone in my pocket, it's probably going to like reset my line and bring me back to the beginning and do all that stuff.
So, you know, the same thing, you know, dude, the big head origins, the air maxes that dropped for Das Rouge.
I wasn't able to get that because of work too.
Work has been ruining my life.
Yeah, man, fuck work.
You know, but it's...
It's been the best,
unfortunately.
Alright.
Larry, if you are here,
give me a thumbs up
if you would like for me to go ahead and pull your claw right now.
He wants to do the tag claw.
Robo Smokey.
Oh, shit.
Oh, wait, where'd he go?
Invite to speak. Come back, my brother. Oh, dang. He go all the way out? Where'd he go? Come back.
I know he went robo mode.
I don't know, man.
Did Larry give me a thumbs up?
I'm trying to see if...
All right, I'm back again.
I had to rant.
Yeah, I was ranting about the Izuki TCG.
Yeah.
I don't know if you feel some kind of way about that, but you know, whatever.
I don't own Izuki, though.
I'm not a holder, but I'm friends with them.
And then I have issues with it, and I was was a holder so i can still view it as like a like okay this is gonna
sound like a weird flex kind of thing right but i feel like i'm the ideal target audience because
i don't give a fuck about your jpeg and i'm not motivated financially to like care for your
project but i still buy your products still like your products and then
also like follow the project like and i'm an actual weeb so i'm not like a brainless idiot
in web 3 who doesn't know anything about anime like you know what i'm saying like i'm like no
the target that's valid and then like i don't even care that I'm not a holder and I couldn't get any.
I'm mad for the holders who couldn't get any, bro.
Like, the requirements to get that are insane.
Yeah, now, that's one thing, like, because, like, you know, I got homies that hold and stuff.
And I was like, damn, that is, that's a steep, steep, steep means to acquire the chance to purchase what was the requirements though
so for a guaranteed deck like one allocation you needed a collector holder status of grand
on your collector profile to put that into perspective for you, that's essentially the equivalent of having an OG Azuki, an Elemental, and a Beans.
And then everyone else who didn't have grand status or above had the ability to participate in a raffle, but it's a weighted raffle.
But here's the thing. The people who were grand and above who already got guaranteed boxes could now participate also in the raffle and have more opportunities to get more.
And because it's weighted, now they have 10 times the chance as the average holder who might only have a beans and wasn't guaranteed anything.
Which is why I think it's like really fucked up because you have a ton of holders who just hold beans who get sidelined every single
time and then all they do is toss you a couple breadcrumbs of anime coin during their launch like
what i'm gonna be honest with you bro i would that would literally make me so pissed i would
sell my shit like um now that's just me personally because it would almost make it feel like you're
trying to gatekeep it to like a
certain group of people um because if they already got theirs they should already be sitting on the
sidelines like you should not be able to participate in the rest of this you know what i'm saying
because you already got something so it needs to be for you know the other people but there was no
trickle down economics on that shit at all they were like fuck you no the whole the whole thing
was to fuel the whales right it's always the whole thing was to fuel the whales, right?
It's always the Web3 ethos.
Fuel the whales because they're the ones who spent thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?
And the thing is, you could have rewarded your whales, and then you could have still rewarded everybody else.
You could have still limited purchasing power.
You still could have kept it techie with the whole collector profile distribution thing. There's so many things you could have kept it uh techie with the whole collector profile you know
distribution thing there's so many things you could have done and it just it just also blows
my mind because we're all in you know we all love pokemon cards we all know what that resale market
is like you're building a tcg you know what that resale market is like and you literally just subjected your own community to a whale resale market what what that's a fact bro that's a that's a literal fact the decks are
already five dollars brother and you're gonna have a resale market this it's about to be ridiculous yeah it's gonna be insane
man it's gonna be really insane all right i got a question for y'all all right i don't know if
you know how to do this so somehow i removed smoky from the show i don't know how to undo that. So there should be an option in the top where you can see who's the speaker and invite people or whatever.
There should be an option there, and you should be able to see who was removed.
And then you should be able to undo that.
And he might need an invite from someone else.
Alright.
Someone try to send him an invite.
Or it's on the bottom with the little people symbol.
Might be that one.
Okay, little people symbol.
Removed. There we go. Oh, there we go. Yep. There we go.
Allow to join. Ha! Thanks. Hell yeah. Fixed it.
Hell yeah. Fixed it.
Would have said that was his time out for being absent last week.
Go ahead and sit down on the bench for a little bit. Just sit on the bench.
Only play 10 minutes.
Yeah, just go sit down real quick you know get you
some gatorade i'll put you in when we ready that's what he gets for not showing up to the anime space
either oh damn it was lit anime space was lit they all talking real they're not fair
weather anime fans they're real fans and i love it because i was like this is what i'm talking about none of that fair weather shit like none of that
now there's nothing wrong with your casual watching there's nothing wrong with it as long
as you acknowledge that you're a casual watching don't try to go toe-to-toe with me i've been
watching anime before it was fucking cool and you try to go toe-to-toe with me thinking you had shit and all you've
seen were your run-of-the-mill top you know what i'm saying mainstream anime and i start hitting
you with shit out the blue and you're just like what's that what's that i'm like yeah sit down
what's he talking about yeah we've been watching anime forever, bro. And I watch so much fucking anime.
It's insane.
I have three tabs open right now for when I'm done with the spaces and BZ that I'm just going to start grinding out the rest of them.
Because I got to get ready for April.
You know what I'm saying?
I just watched this.
What is it?
Ooblot?
Yeah, Ooblot.
Oh. Dude. It's a good one it's like a lot of people compare the manga like to like a dark like it's a dark story but they compare the manga to like a
berserk level of dark yes it is really like like the first episode got me. I was like, oh yeah, I'm watching this. I was like, yeah, I'm here for this. I was like, this is a, a really fucked up story and I'm here for it. Like these dudes are assholes. Yep. And a plot for revenge. Cause there's like this one where, oh, what the hell was it called?
oh what the hell was it called oh the dude is he he's a ends up being a wizard
and it's like against the the rules because he uses written magic he has his quill and they
killed his magic uh his like his master and he was kind of like she was kind of like his mom as well
they killed her my man comes back for vengeance bro and it is a story of him just turning everything
up side down and i loved it i was like i'm here for it get your revenge play get your revenge
i'm here for it's a dark one but like yeah same concept bro i'm like i'm fucking
with it but yeah so um also there's tons of other tcgs out there so you know but yeah now that that uh
that because i was a really really looking forward to the azuki tcg and you know it just
really would have been you know they should have made it an even playing field for everyone who
held regardless like yeah you want to all right cool you guys can get an allocation of slightly more than your regular person, but don't completely alienate your, you know, a large portion of your community is just fucking stupid.
And then, you know, you make it to be like, oh, man, like this was coming up. I was like, man, maybe I could just grab me a bean or two. And then I looking into it i was like nah this ain't gonna be this it's not it's not feasible the crazy part
with that they already did a snapshot so even if you bought a beam like their announcement was like
oh yeah so we're doing this launch by the way the snapshot was already taken
yes yeah so like yeah just in case you thought you wanted to get down
on this yeah you missed your chance already you should have got in already like damn you guys
that was a real asshole up a move but you know whatever whatever yeah i mean i had sketchy man
i had a lot of internal conversation because i'm i know members, so I sort of bitched in the background, because I'm like, bro, like, come on, bro.
I'm like friends and family.
Where's my box, motherfucker?
Where's my box at this point?
Nah, that's valid.
Basically, I can't say anything about, like, the private conversations, but I'll just say it was supposed to be worse
well I mean I guess we'll just take with a grain of salt I'll wait for the public launch I'll check
into this shit I'm fucking with the pudgies you know I'm saying I'm probably gonna end up picking
the box up off of eBay because the price keeps fluctuating on on bc and i just can't catch it at a good at a good price
point that i want to pay i will give azuki credit though i have seen some some card uh sneak peeks
and stuff uh like because rose shows them on her stream sometimes they look really fucking good bro
they're they're they're doing it right there's textures there's nice like hollow like foil like
look to it that the card actual ux ui like design is clean like they're putting in their their time
they're even thinking about the back of the card which is also nice that is nice because a lot of
sometimes that shit gets you know left in the dust but like there's some cards out there that I'm like
oh this shit is textured
it's raised you know what I'm saying it's got a nice
little gloss to it I'm like man they put in
put in quality behind
these cards so like there's some
I'm saying
TCGs out there like Grand Archive
which is a
which is a kind of a
standalone thing that they actually have some pretty dope
cards i already know i love bandai because they've got several card games that i'm i'm rocking with
that i'm either collecting or playing whether it's one piece union arena they got this new
gundam game that's coming out i really hope it does better than the last one that they launched
because that shit flopped and i really fuck with gundam you know what i'm saying i'm really a gundam fan um so i really hope that this is
successful but i actually don't think it will be but that's it i'm just i'm just being honest bro
because like if you think about it like no one is talking about gundam in the anime yeah and
that's because they haven't like no one's really talked about it since Iron-Blooded Orphan.
Exactly.
And there's a new one coming out,
and no one's talking about the new one either.
I know, and I'm just like, ah, that sucks.
And they're supposed to be remastered now.
They're supposed to be remastering Mobile Suit G Gundam,
which I'm all here for because that was one of my favorites.
My man Domu was just out here throwing hands he was looking for his brother to run the ones and if
anybody got in his way he was down to run the ones like i was with it it was what shut up you
want to fight let's do it like no questions asked oh now you want to be friends? Let's go team up and let's go fight somebody else.
Like, we got to get to the end of this.
And so, but, you know, I know what they're trying to do.
And this is like my big picture of what I see.
I feel like they're going to funnel everything back in the union arena.
I'm talking one piece because they already have the IP.
They're going to find a way to either bridge the games together,
or they're just going to add the One Piece IP into Union Arena
and then continue the card game that way.
But I feel like Union Arena, because of all the ips that they now have access to
that's going to be their main focus i mean okay i i do think a majority of anime ips
should go to union arena and i think that you're right with the objective i just think one piece
the game itself has become so big that it's just standalone at this point. And I don't think we'll see it in Union Arena.
But, like, everything else, like, Gundam should have done that.
To be truthfully honest, like, I think what they thought was,
oh, well, we have such a legacy IP here, let's launch another Gundam game.
But they forgot, you're not One Piece, you're not like all these other series,
like, it's not gonna work gonna work literally the last one didn't
work the only cards that hold value from the original gundam are like the ones from the freaking
um the like the arcade machines in japan right now yeah yeah and it's just you know they
it's because it's broken up into so many different,
like, oh, it's this one, but this one,
this season has nothing to do with this genre.
And then you've got this set that doesn't have anything to do with this set.
And it's just, whereas one piece has just been concurrent through the seasons,
right? It's one long story.
This is like multiple different stories,
multiple different timelines,
you know, just all kinds of things all over.
Yeah, I could definitely see it
going into a version of Union Arena.
I mean, you already have Code Geass in there
that has next.
So, I mean, it wouldn't be hard
to incorporate it into the game.
Yo, Larry, if you're here, give me a thumbs up.
I will pull your claw right now.
I do think also if you think about Gundams, like even non-Gundams, right?
Let's look at like Evangelion.
Let's look at like majority of mecha animes.
like majority of mecha animes i think the biggest problem with them is that
That's a good flow name.
actually there are differences right like there are recognizable mechs in in the mech world but
they aren't as unique as looking at like a truly different character like in one piece right like
there's over a thousand characters in one piece, like, legitimately. And then, like, you look at a Gundam
and it's just another variation.
Like, even in Evangelion, like, you know,
Eva looks somewhat like a Gundam.
And I think that's the problem with, like,
the mech genre having a card game of its own.
Could be wrong, though.
Yeah.
No, no.
I agree with that.
I'm just trying to get this going.
I'm about to do Larry's tag a claw right now.
So just go.
Activating the claw screen recording
Let's get going good luck Larry good luck. Hope you pull a banger
All fingers crossed I guess y'all hear my reaction live or maybe I'll just mute myself
So I won't spoil it. How about we'll do that? All right, Larry.
Oh, snap.
You pulled it?
Yeah.
So I'm going to give you an opportunity to swap if you want to.
One chance.
You got a tag
nine Japanese
Lost Abyss Pidgeot.
It's a tag nine.
It's worth
$10.80.
You have two minutes to decide.
Man, we need that clock music.
There we go.
Do, do, do.
Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do. Do, do, do, do.
Do, do, do.
Do, do, do.
Do, do, do, do.
Larry, you throw the thumbs up.
I will do the swap.
Swap it. Swap it.
You've got one minute.
Don't swap it, Larry. Keep that shit.
Tag nine.
Tag nine.
Lost Abyss Pidgeot.
He laughed.
$10.80.
Thumbs up.
I'll swap it.
He put the thumbs down.
I saw the thumbs down.
He's keeping it.
Thumbs down.
Do you want to keep it?
He's keeping it.
All right.
We're keeping it.
Yo, congrats, Brody. I'll get that over to you homie good pull bro good pull a little tag nine almost perfect slabs that I'm going to be ripping open from Tag.
I sent
some One Piece
and some
Pokemon cards to
Tag a while
back ago.
I had them back. I just
was in the process of moving, so
I didn't even rip it yet.
Brother, you got me
waiting. I'm anticipating.
I want to see what related those cards,
bro. Come on.
I'm excited.
Because they're in individual
I get to rip them open, like packs

I'm definitely excited.
So you got a little double bubble going on right there?
Mm-hmm. So that's it's exciting. So, um,
I'm gonna rip those open. Uh, I have Journey Together to open. Um, and then I have a gang of new one piece stuff they dropped that I'll
be opening as well so I'll probably that'll probably be my first like

stream. We'll do that.
I'm running on
there. Probably running on my Twitch.
See if we can get it running on here too.
Maybe we'll do some live giveaways.
Who knows?
See what we can do.
Yo, plug in your show too, man.

So, me and the homies, you probably see me tag Golden Legacy, Rob Ruhm.
Those are two of my homies.
Like, my IRL homies, we had started an online card shop.
We carry Japanese pretty much we carry more than just Japanese stuff but we have that's our bulk of the the stuff
that we carry is like Japanese one piece Pokemon so we get it direct directly
from Japan so we have a distributor in Japan.
Shout out to the homie.
Man, it's good
being in the military, man. You really make
some friends around the world.
It's clutch.

So we had the. Wow. No. First stream? That out?
Yeah. That's tough, bro, because you guys had, you know, there was there was traction there.
You know, it wasn't just it wasn't just me in there.
There was traction. There was people watching, you know, interacting with the streams and stuff.
We got the soundboard

But we're going to be doing giveaways over there right now.
We actually did a giveaway in one of our, like, raw episodes,
like one of our rough ones.
We did a jungle pack, like, first edition jungle pack giveaway duck race.
So we did that.
We'll be doing more giveaways.
We actually have a duck race set up.
We'll be doing for a tag team set
booster pack you can actually like I said I'll hit y'all with the link and get y'all squared

twitter page up I'm just still working on it so y'all will see it here soon but yeah prop what's happening
what's up what's up how are you guys what we doing over here so you know i had to plug in you know
just a little shum shum but we vibing man uh you know i scored on the booster button shout out to
my local card shop came in clutch. Got me a journey together.
We about to do a pack battle with my daughter
to get home from basketball practice.
We got some.
I paid for some early packs yesterday at the local store.
I watched this dude fucking open.
A ton of them hit a $400 card.
Of course, I hit nothing.
But we still had fun.
That was the whole point.
Tomorrow is, oh no, it's Saturday,
Collect-a-Con.
I'm going to go to that.
Oh, you're going to Collect-a-Con?
Yeah, and then the local spot's doing
the after party, so I'm going to
be with a whole bunch of
these Pokemon nerds.
Can't wait. It's going to be fun.
That dance was clutch, though. It's going to be fun. That dance was clutch, though.
That's going to be clutch.
That Collector Con is going to be dope.
I wanted to go to the one that they had here, but...
Them tickets, bro, like...
Fucking scalpers.
Like, in the Collector Con in Houston,
as soon as them tickets hit,
they sell out to bots it for real instantly yes
and then the scalpers turn around and flip the ticket to collect the con so you got to pay
scalpers to go see most scalpers that shit's crazy man this shit just fucked up it's fucked up
world fucked up world no let me stop no collector comes Collector Con is cool as shit, though. I've always wanted to go to one.
Like, there's a couple things I've always wanted to go to.
You know what I'm saying?
Obviously, I want to go to Comic Con.
There's just a lot of cool shit that I've always wanted to go to.
I will go to.
Not want to go to.
I will.
We are changing our phrasing.
We are changing our words.
What do you like from the Journey Together pack so far?
So my changes from Journey Together,
well, so I already got,
so I got battle partners, so I want to
end Reshiram, which I got in Japanese,
but I wasn't able to get
in Zorark yet,
so I want to try to get that
in English. And then I also want to try to get that in English.
And then I also want to get the Articuno again.
I have it in Japanese, but I want it in English too.
Yeah, that motherfucker hit the Articuno.
He hit it yesterday.
That shit is gassed.
The Salamence is dope too.
And then I fuck with Hop's Wulu.
It's just a dope card.
So those are my chases. If I get those, I'm cool.
I don't need nothing else from the set after that.
That's how I'm rocking.
I'm hyped for this
Destin Rivals, though.
There's some
dope stuff in there.
Like I was saying earlier, man,
do not overpay
for this fucking set,
man. I'm telling you.
These prices are high
now because it's
before the release.
Watch when I tell you.
The prisms went up pretty fast though but but watch
this when when the market you know what i'm saying when everybody gets access to the product all the
because this is the last set that was pre-ordered so people are still going to get an abundance of
this product who pre-ordered this stuff in advance like a lot of people didn't get their pre-orders
canceled so like they're going to
get abundance of this product so when this stuff starts hitting the market at crazy numbers the
price is going to tank and then people are going to realize like yo they really don't rock with
trainer cards the way they said they rock with trainer trainer card because in Japanese, the Japanese cards, they love trainer cards.
English, not so much.
So it's just going to happen and it's going to cause a crazy market correction.
I'm just, I'm speculating.
This is just all hearsay.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
But I'm just saying, just don't overpay.
Don't start like buying shit right now.
Don't be trying to like overpay for the booster box and all this other stuff.
If you want the promo that comes with the booster box, just buy the promo.
Right.
Don't spend the extra money to buy the enhanced booster box unless you're buying it to keep that whole thing sealed.
whole thing sealed because there if you're looking for like collectability there's something there
because in historically that's the first time that that's done in the english set
that the booster box is coming with this stamped promo right so if you want to do that keep that
sealed you're saying i can see you buying a booster box for that but don't buy it at these
crazy prices i'm telling you the price is going to, but don't buy it at these crazy prices. I'm telling you, the prices are going to drop.
Don't buy it at those crazy high prices.
Just wait like a week or two.
The prices are going to drop.
And then if you want the promo, just buy the promo.
If that's your whole point in buying it, just buy the promo.
I guarantee you the prices will drop.
It was like a week ago that promo was like, maybe a week or two ago,
the promo was going for like $200, $250.
Now it's going for like $100.
And we're in tomorrow's release day, so it's probably going to drop again.
we're in tomorrow's release day so it's probably going to drop again so it'll probably be somewhere
probably like i'd say like a 60 to maybe 80 dollar card after tomorrow but like all these huge cards
that everybody's anticipating because like lily caferi in japanese right when it first dropped
it was going for like $600.
Then it was like after it had been out for a little while now,
you could find it for around like four.
So I'm telling you, just give it time.
Let the market cool off.
Obviously, it's another hype because it's the next big set that's dropping since Prismatic.
And can't nobody get their hands on Prismatic,
so everybody's looking to get their hands on this.
So of course the prices are through the roof.
Just let the market breathe.
And you'll get what you want.
If you really hunt in singles, just wait for the market to cool off by the singles you want and then buy packs to have fun.
Right.
Don't don't forget the reason that the hobby that you got into the hobby it was fun
don't forget about that part right like don't forget about that inner child in there that
still likes to have fun collecting shiny cardboard or playing the game or whatever it may be
connecting with you know that innocence that the game may represent for you or whatever it may be. Don't forget about that meaning.
Right.
Unless you're a large and you're actually a scalper and then you can go fuck yourself.
You've heard him.
Bro, when I saw $900 like pre-order fucking sales on eBay, I said everyone in this hobby is cooked.
How fucking rage is, bro.
I said everybody's cooked.
How fucking rage is.
Bro, the fucked up part is, it's like, people pay it.
Like, I want to know what idiot is paying it.
And that's the problem with the thing, right?
Like, stop buying from the scalpers. is paying it. And that's the problem with the thing, right? Stop
buying from the scalpers. If you stop
paying for it,
they'll be
sitting on product.
They don't want to sit on the product.
Their idea is to move the product.
So if it's not moving at the price
they got it set at, they're going to have to drop it
until it starts to fucking move.
Stop buying it from them. I I would like like they're gonna
print more they're going to know because you know what I would love it sets for
three fucking years they're going to print more these just came out now I'm
gonna be our hang on I really want I really wish this was a thing right
imagine you go on eBay you click buy at $900, all of a sudden you
see your screen flash, guess what, you got caught in 4k buying it, now your whole picture is
everywhere on like every fucking Pokemon card forum, and we can all point and laugh and also
critique the fuck out of you, because like, who is buying for $900, bro. People can't even afford to buy bananas anymore
at this point.
Y'all buying $900.
That's why you can't buy bananas. That's why you can't
pay your fucking rent. Because you're out
here buying fucking Pokemon
cards for $900.
Bro,
look. Them shits
will be here. I'm telling
you. Trust me when I tell you. These things will be here i'm i'm telling you trust me when i tell you okay these things will
be here like i said they print sets for three years okay three look they're still printing
sword and shield okay they haven't even started a massive reprint of Scarlet and Violet era stuff
because they're still reprinting.
They're just now getting to the end of the reprints for Sword and Shield.
And then you're going to see an influx of Sword and Shield stuff.
Why?
Because of MJ Holdings and that whole fiasco, right?
MJ Holdings was holding all that product
and selling it on Walmart's website under their
shell corporation, and then they got caught.
So now all that product, all that old product, all that old sword and shield product that
they've been hoarding for their own gain is now about to hit the shelves of Walmarts
and Targets, right?
That's why you've been seeing Hidden Fates pop up at Walmarts, Pau De and Fates
pop up at Walmarts. You've been
seeing these random mini
tents pop up at Walmarts
and in targets and stuff. It's because
it's all that back stock, the
MJ Holdings, all these old
V-boxes,
different
Elite boxes and ETBs
and different things like that,
all these older sets,
is because it's all that back stock that they've had
that's now having to get put out.
So just chill.
Trust me.
It will be here.
We already started to see a reprint in Surgeon Sparks. That's already happened.
We've already started seeing, we haven't started seeing the reprint of Prismatic. Why? Because
there's still Prismatic product that hasn't even dropped yet. So they haven't even started to
reprint it yet because there's still more products from that line that
still has to drop so they're not going to reprint i'll start doing a mass reprint of that yet i'm
so happy all these other sets to print and they like you've got destined rivals right then there's
an x and y set that's supposed to be room with you've already they've already talked about the
mega set that they're going to be dropping that starts to drop around like August,
September time frame that they've already
talked about. So, like,
you've got
these other sets that are still going to be
printed. So just chill.
It'll be there.
I'm happy my TCGs don't have this issue.
You play Magic
long enough, you just realize, like like it's fine no one else wants this except
for existing players did you get any of that uh the secret layer that dropped no no i i literally
stopped even buying physicals i strictly play mtg arena i'm not playing physical i'm not buying no
more cards because wizards of the coast and
they're goddamn like bro y'all want to talk about like like the amount of cards that get printed
and how many sets come out between different tcgs no one makes more sets than magic the gathering
and it is atrocious like i can't And, like, the next set already dropped.
And I'm like, damn, bro, I just built this deck for, like, so, yeah, no.
I'm done with buying them.
But I'll play online.
And then Yu-Gi-Oh!
Nah, don't even get me started on that, bro.
I'm so done with Yu-Gi-Oh!
I quit in 2020.
I sold everything.
I sold it all.
I said I am done with this fucking game. I'm so tired of it. Ii-Oh! I quit in 2020. I sold everything. I sold it all. I said, I am done with this fucking game.
I'm so tired of it.
I don't even want to collect it.
Like, I sold everything, bro.
They pissed me off.
But I'll play online.
Y'all Pokemon card players got it rough.
Yeah, nah.
I don't blame you, bro bro i don't blame you one bit
but um i do i i actually you know i'll take it back a little bit i will buy banned cards
if the art is banned i will buy it that's valid i can see that that makes sense because you're not
where you at that point it's just a collection at that point.
Yeah, and also it's kind of like this piece of time.
Think about Misty's Tears before they redid the card and then they banned the original.
That's a good card to get in my mind because it's banned.
There's a finite supply of them.
A lot of them they're probably a lot of
them are lost to time you know good yeah no that's valid because like um but that's what like
these like different collection sets like i don't play magic but like just the final fantasy set
that's gonna drop right, it's cool stuff.
Right.
Like, as a collector, I rock with Final Fantasy.
And, yes, I do know Final Fantasy has their own card game,
and they do have some dope artwork on their cards.
But, I mean, like, this is kind of like an iconic thing, right?
Like, Final Fantasy and Magic.
That's a dope collab that's going to happen. So, like, that's something I'm kind of looking into.
This SpongeBob secret layer joint was just crazy when they made that super OP card.
So, yeah, no, that shit's crazy.
Like, one thing I do like about Magic is the anime collabs that they get like
their cards are already like mainly in my opinion for the art like obviously i play and like that's
cool or whatever but the art on a magic card is just unparalleled and then like you have the anime
sets that come out in limited releases.
It's so nice.
I love it.
It's good stuff.
Shout out to my dog, Dan.
Nero, I'm going to get to you right quick.
But I got to say, shout out to my dog, Dan.
I don't know if he's down there.
But man, I posted it up top Escaflownet bro if y'all have not seen Escaflownet the shit it's a it's an older anime but I'm
telling you it is pressure and you have to like really like hunt for it because it's one of those
ones that like you catch whispers of it
and you're like what what was that show that i watched on this random time in the 90s like
but anime top tier check it out escaflowne shit's gas nero what's happening? Welcome to TCD. Let's go. It's Keisha Cobain. How you doing,
sweetie? Keisha? Yes. Five profiles later, they can't stop me. But I'm just excited.
I'm seeing old people pop up. I'm like, there you are. Algorithm is a beast.
It doesn't let you get back to where you were.
And it's cool because I got scary.
He probably doesn't realize who I am either.
I know that no one knows who I am.
So I'm incognito.
Well, I almost said incognito.

Hang on, hang on. I gotta, I was scrolling on some shit.
I gotta share this with somebody and y'all are right here.
Bro, what is wrong with people with this AI shit?
Like, I know we had the whole ghibli thing but bro
people are using ai to create fake instagram influencers with down syndrome to sell nudes
what i saw that bro it was messed up man yeah i'm like what in the fuck like i was and it's
come up on my feed
a couple times where I'm like
does that chick have down syndrome
I mean more power too
or you know get your bag
but now I'm like
why is this a thing y'all
why are we exploiting this
bro I've seen three
chicks with down syndrome
on there and they all got
cake and I'm like, is this real?
Like, what the fuck?
One of them is real.
Like, what's happening?
One of them is real.
I don't know which one, though.
But I'm like, did she just inspire a trend of, like, people just being complete degenerate?
What is wrong with people, bro?
I mean, it's at the end times, bro.
This is the degeneracy of times.
People are bored and everything.
Bro, I knew that the moment I saw someone on the Ghibli trend do the Columbine fucking screenshot.
I didn't even want...
Oh, hell.
Yeah, that's not cool.
Yeah, people are cooked.
This whole society is cooked.
But I was scrolling and i was like there's
no way this is a thing right now like there's no fucking way bro it's the thing i've seen three
videos with girls and i'm like i feel bad because she hot as fuck she might have down syndrome and
people like well if she down i'm down i'm like you do know having a kid with her could be a problem
right bro i i mean i saw a bunch of like or, like, you know, snippets of people just being like.
Yeah.
I'm like, bro, y'all need help.
I mean, Down syndrome people need love, too, but, like, not like that.
I'm with you.
The crazy part is that's not how they used to be. Not like that. I'm with you. So Terry, can you get you some Journey Together early today?
Good segue.
Good segue.
Yeah, no, man.

But yeah, man, yo,
Escafona is such a slap on
because it really was just like a blip in the anime world.
And if you missed it, man, that's shit.
Like, you wouldn't, you'd never know about it.
But, like, it's about this mech that is also a dragon.
Like, it's just deep.
It's good as fuck, man.
I'm telling you.
Yeah, motherfuckers unlock, like, a core memory.
Like, I remember watching that shit
with my cousin.
I was every Saturday morning.
Saturday morning to the kid.
It was the name that got us.
It just sounded like...
I randomly caught that, bro.
I happened to wake up at the perfect time
and went downstairs and was like,
hold up, what the hell is this right here?
Dude, those violins start off
and hit're like,
Escaflone, Esca.
Dude, that was my
shit, bro. That junk stuck with me
for years, bro. And I would always ask
people, I was like, do you know what Escaflone is?
And they were like, no, what's that?
I'm like, damn.
