clearance

Hey there. Hey, what's up? I'm much how you doing? I'm alright. I decided to do the start of this podcast with my eyes closed for no reason other than it feels good man. Your eyes are closed. My eyes are closed. What is eyes closed?

Is there it feels good? Why do I close feel good? It just feels good man. You know when your eyes want to be closed but you open them or you eyes want to be open but you close them and you're like.

Do you want to be like Brock or like one of those anime characters that always has eyes? No, no. No, it just feels good man.

I don't want to be go row. Yeah, go on. Diamond's pretty cool. Go. Diamond is pretty cool. Also, I'm really immersing myself in the audio scape.

That's fine. He loves Japan. He loves his children. He loves judo. Yeah, I don't think there's enough love for Goro out there. And here's the other thing that we should appreciate about Goro Diamond.

He's on a team that is all young and spunky and has electricity or fire powers or just studious. You know, it's in nature.

But the deal is that these are all like you've got the leader one, you've got the wild one, you've got you know, shingo.

The young one. And then you've got all the archetypes for the boy band. And it's almost like member B together or two together. I think there's a TV show with a boy band and then there was a Kyle gas type older dude that was part of the group.

And he's like a big chubby guy and he was balding and he was like clearly it is like late 40s. And no, okay, there was a field is completely invented swear to God there was a show called two together with two as the thing. And it was a boy band, but then there was like a Kyle gas style dude that was on the team.

That's the Goro Diamond right. So when you're looking at the king of fighters heroes, Kyoku Senagi, Benimaru, Nikito and you know, of course, shingo comes along as the fanboy.

But it's always it's teams of three shingo technically is only for the fucking occasional four. But with those three you have these these dudes that are like on stage crushing it killing it and everyone screaming and passing out because they're fans.

And then you've got this older man who's a responsible dad and he's shirtless, but he's only shirtless because judo and he doesn't hit me like a boy band character.

No, but he's the leader of the body. Yeah, but he feels like he'd be a bassist.

No, look at that hair. He's got trunks hair man.

Betty Maru is the wild one, right. But Kyo is absolutely like are we basing Benimaru being the wild one purely on the fact that he puts one hand down and then spins around it for a kick.

No, I'm basing it on the fact that he has a leopard print shirt. That's true. What are you talking about? I don't know because that doesn't say wild to me anymore. That's that says leopard. I'm coming off my divorce real hard leopard print.

Does leopard print doesn't say wild. No, it doesn't. Wow. Well, it says 48 year old divorce say I think down at the bar the entire purpose of the existence of leopard print is to say wild. It's it is a wild animal. Yeah, but stuff changes man context and look, I'm saying Kyo Kusunagi definitely is leader of the bunch. Look at him. He's got the hair. I know him well. He's got the fucking headband sometimes if he doesn't. That's okay.

It's rocking that white jacket if you want to go nests era with him. I don't I actually really like his inks. I guess I would call it hyper casual biker era like just just got a jacket and some jeans. Biker. Yeah, that's but that's that's biker. That's fine. That's that's super cool. I think I like I like I like Ness Sarah because it's jacket and jeans, but he's being stylish with it. But either one. You know, you're putting them up front, right. He's going to be up front either on guitar.

On guitar or on the mic, but Yuri Igani also is on the mic because he's singing Casano, allegory. That's a deep cut where the voice actor for a Yuri literally sings a song as Yuri out there. So he does actually he is a musician.

A fucking isa guy with a Yuri as Yuri. He's a muse. Yuri is a musician. Yeah. And he's honestly one of those people were a parent based on a couple of different stories. If if not for his like family abuse into being a jerk, a foil to Kusuragi, he would probably be fine.

It's just that he's been abused into being like hate this guy in fucking also he's got a power that burns like shit. Yeah, well the purple flames aren't great either, you know, but nonetheless, and you're also a vessel for evil asshole. Yeah, but the point of this is getting away from Goro. Yeah, who needs to be appreciated for hanging out with these kids way too cool for him and not given a fuck because he's just like,
