159. Back To H-Town

The podcast episode begins with Senae and Mike catching up after a long break. Senae discusses her son Dakota, who is now 15 months old and walking, doing quirky things like eating dog food and having an obsession with the toilet. Mike shares similar stories about his daughter Mikaela's weird behaviors when she was Dakota's age. They then discuss the recent Olympics, noting that many of the U.S. medal winners were from Texas, including Simone Biles and Sha'Carri. This leads them to talk about the upcoming DreamCon convention being held in Houston, which they are excited about since it will be more convenient for them to attend. They discuss the potential controversy around Megan Thee Stallion performing at the event, with Senae arguing that DreamCon should try to book her and ensure proper security measures. The conversation shifts to anime, with Senae sharing the shows she has been watching, including a rewatch of Death Note, Baki, and Jujutsu Kaisen. Mike also provides his recent anime viewing, mentioning shows like Vinland Saga, Blue Exorcist, Demon Slayer, Kaiju No. 8, and Solo Leveling. They get excited about the upcoming Hitman Reborn anime dub with Zeno as the voice of Yamamoto. Mike and Senae then discuss a low-budget Tyler Perry-adjacent movie they watched called "Divorce in the Black," which they found to be quite ridiculous, especially the funeral scene where the brother removes the deceased from the casket. They criticize the movie's over-the-top nature and Tyler Perry's tendency to take things to the extreme in his films. Towards the end, they provide recommendations for anime and other shows to watch, with Senae suggesting rewatching something that makes you happy and Mike recommending Kaiju No. 8 and the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho adaptation. They wrap up the episode by discussing Drake's recent music release and whether they would want to see him at DreamCon, with Mike adamantly stating he does not.
