No Chill #17: Obsession Nation – Cosplay, Swifties & the Heroes Who Raised Us

Fandoms aren’t just about celebrities or fictional characters—they’re emotional homes where we process feelings, celebrate obsession, and find community through shared passion.

In this episode, Lisa and Josh dive into the world of fandom culture—from cosplay and gaming to music and underdog stories:

• Are you a casual fan or a full-blown Swiftie?
 • How cosplay helps people embody resilience and identity
 • Celebrities who love their fans vs those who set hard boundaries
 • Enduring fandoms like Supernatural, Buffy, The Walking Dead
• The emotional power of music fandoms and indie rap’s raw storytelling
• Gaming loyalty from League of Legends to Final Fantasy
• What causes fan burnout (and how creators lose us)
• Weekly What If: What if you had a fandom?
• Regret of the Week: Missing the Eras Tour

“At its core, fandom is just a way of saying: this thing mattered to me, and I wanted someone else to feel it too.”

00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.447
Hi everyone, welcome to Brother, sister.

00:00:03.447 --> 00:00:04.690
Whatever, I'm Lisa.

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:05.612
And I'm Josh.

00:00:06.341 --> 00:00:09.130
And this is Real Talk with Zero Chill.

00:00:09.130 --> 00:00:10.885
Alright, so let's get into it.

00:00:10.885 --> 00:00:20.172
So this episode is about what it means to love something loudly, and how fandom becomes like a weird little home for your feelings.

00:00:20.172 --> 00:00:20.792
Hmm.

00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.003
Which is true if you think about it, if I think about it like.

00:00:24.003 --> 00:00:34.304
I think about it like, let's say, taylor Swift, huge fan, not a Swifty, because I equate Swifties with, like you know, looking for Easter eggs and knowing all the details and all that stuff.

00:00:34.304 --> 00:00:43.548
I love her music, know a lot of the words to most of her songs, so can I be like a semi-Swifty you?

00:00:43.569 --> 00:00:44.131
can be whatever you want.

00:00:44.151 --> 00:01:02.786
I'll call myself a semi-Swifty, okay, but I recognize, like you know, like with a lot of songs, actually, you can feel like you can relate in many ways to the things that she's singing, right, or whatever.

00:01:02.786 --> 00:01:19.644
For you it could be Eminem, or whatever, Okay, and so I feel like, for myself, music really does that, all different genres, right, really does that for me, as opposed to, let's say, a TV show.

00:01:19.644 --> 00:01:26.433
I wouldn't necessarily, you know, know, like it says here, like have feelings, would I?

00:01:26.433 --> 00:01:34.918
Would I, though, hold on, let's think about this, josh, welcome everybody to brother, sister, whatever.

00:01:34.918 --> 00:01:35.819
I'm Lisa.

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:36.820
I'm Josh.

00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:42.930
Well, I think that, like you just said, for you music, music hits.

00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:44.251
Something, hits a chord.

00:01:44.251 --> 00:01:50.090
For sure, and I'm sure I mean, have you, have you not had this feeling?

00:01:50.090 --> 00:02:04.628
I've had this feeling where you're watching a movie and something hero-like happens and you feel like this, almost like like yeah you know, like you know like that's true.

00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:08.888
Or even just crying at a scene, right, it's like something like emotes something out of you.

00:02:08.888 --> 00:02:11.823
So yeah, okay, I shouldn't, I shouldn't say it doesn't.

00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:23.391
So I think that that might touch certain people, like I think this is why my son absolutely loves anime, because a lot of the anime, the stock, I mean there's a lot of the anime.

00:02:23.391 --> 00:02:44.673
The style, I mean there's a lot of different styles, but the style that he's watching is like it's always an underdog and it's always someone who wants to be the hero and can't be right now or whatever, and they have to struggle and fight and and and get to that point, you know.

00:02:44.673 --> 00:02:50.046
And so for him I can tell that you know it's it resonates yeah.

00:02:50.067 --> 00:03:12.088
It resonates and like he, he's like oh you know, like he got to that level, you know, like, look at him, you know, and, and so you know, I could see him wanting to dress up or act out that type of behavior, to feel that sense of strength.

00:03:12.088 --> 00:03:12.711
That's true.

00:03:13.842 --> 00:03:22.169
I could relate to some ways in Dragon Ball Z, like Goku, when I was a kid, and he would get beaten up.

00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:29.768
And no matter how much he got beaten up, you know he would scream and, and you know, just get more energy.

00:03:29.768 --> 00:03:33.274
You know to to keep battling through that, you know.

00:03:33.274 --> 00:03:44.930
So there's something about that type of stuff and I think the cosplayers sure, maybe it's just dress up for some, but I think too that some it's way deeper.

00:03:44.990 --> 00:04:08.931
You know, it's like, it's like a connection yeah, this person makes me feel like this, and when I dress up like them, I feel invincible yeah, yeah dressing up as spider-man but also like, even if you were to just look at it from a standpoint because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that are like, look down at that kind of thing oh yeah like what if you just looked at it from a point, because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that are like, look down at that kind of thing.

00:04:08.950 --> 00:04:27.783
Oh yeah, I'm sure Like what, if you just looked at it from a point of view of it's actually harmless fun yeah, dressing up like your hero, or whatever the case and why it also promotes.

00:04:27.783 --> 00:04:28.564
Maybe creativity and imagination.

00:04:28.584 --> 00:04:29.146
Yeah, of course, yeah for sure.

00:04:29.326 --> 00:04:38.199
Like a lot of these, like these serious cosplayers I've seen actually uh videos that they make their own costumes.

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:45.160
They are like they work like for weeks, sometimes months on, like a costume to be able to like.

00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.166
Some of them are out of this world.

00:04:47.348 --> 00:04:48.089
Unbelievable.

00:04:48.089 --> 00:04:52.468
So I have to say it's almost in a way, like a business.

00:04:53.331 --> 00:04:56.146
Oh yeah, Look at me, I'm business minded.

00:04:56.146 --> 00:04:57.867
It's definitely a business, though.

00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:59.024
Yeah, it has to be.

00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:00.201
There's no question about it.

00:05:00.201 --> 00:05:09.293
It, I mean you can get all sorts of you know made costumes, or a gun or a sword.

00:05:09.293 --> 00:05:21.485
That's a certain way, and you know you modify the details, but everything yeah crazy it's like real life models in the sense of like a model you know that you build together.

00:05:21.485 --> 00:05:27.552
It's a real life model yeah so yeah, exactly okay.

00:05:28.434 --> 00:05:29.656
So weekly what if?

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:30.762
weekly what if?

00:05:31.562 --> 00:05:35.129
what if a fandom formed around you?

00:05:35.129 --> 00:05:40.480
So there's a fan art of you, fan fiction.

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.567
You know someone's shipping you with your barista.

00:05:44.567 --> 00:05:50.648
Another person has a theory that your most recent Instagram story proves you're in a redemption arc.

00:05:50.648 --> 00:05:52.572
That's hilarious actually.

00:05:52.572 --> 00:05:54.684
So what?

00:05:54.684 --> 00:05:57.151
How would you handle that kind of attention?

00:05:58.963 --> 00:06:01.319
Like in the sense of like, I'm a celebrity, basically.

00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.846
Yeah, like you have fans, like legit fans.

00:06:04.846 --> 00:06:06.649
How would you handle that?

00:06:06.649 --> 00:06:11.920
And on a more fun spin, what?

00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:14.600
would your fandom be called?

00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.211
I have no idea.

00:06:17.211 --> 00:06:19.045
I have no idea what they would be called.

00:06:19.045 --> 00:06:35.754
I'm not that artistic, but I can tell you this I think I would be If I, if if I had these fans and they were like oh my gosh, we love you and so-and-so movies, or whatever, I think I would be that guy.

00:06:35.754 --> 00:06:39.127
You know that that makes sure I stop to every.

00:06:39.127 --> 00:06:40.149
I know it'll be.

00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:42.062
You know a lot, but stops and takes the time to.

00:06:42.062 --> 00:06:44.211
You know, have every, because some people you know a lot but stops and takes the time to.

00:06:44.211 --> 00:06:53.492
You know, have every because some people you know they they're so, you know, infatuated with that and it's like it.

00:06:53.492 --> 00:07:03.083
All it takes is just you know one second for that celebrity to be like hi, you know, or whatever, and it's like oh, you know, it makes their day.

00:07:03.403 --> 00:07:04.925
And you know, you see it all the time.

00:07:04.925 --> 00:07:06.067
You know I, I get it.

00:07:06.067 --> 00:07:34.142
They get picked and prodded non-stop, you know so I can't relate, but but you know, I, I feel like you know there are some celebrities out there that are a little bit more like conscious of that and so they kind of give, give, give yeah you know, like the rock Dwayne Johnson, I mean, you know they're doing tourist bus and he'll come with his car and park in front of the tourists and wave and sign.

00:07:34.463 --> 00:07:40.824
You know, like there's just something about that see, I think, I think it has my.

00:07:41.084 --> 00:07:44.310
My perception of it is that it's the level of gratitude.

00:07:44.310 --> 00:07:45.353
Yeah.

00:07:45.353 --> 00:08:10.651
When, like taking Dwayne Johnson as an example, he it's well known, he started from nothing, yeah Right, and even going into WrestleMania WrestleMania, sorry, wrestling yeah at WrestleMania sorry, wrestling, yeah, uh, he he like the fans are what build you up, right?

00:08:10.651 --> 00:08:10.971
Yeah.

00:08:11.172 --> 00:08:16.276
So, in essence, the idea that you are nothing without your fans is true.

00:08:16.276 --> 00:08:23.543
Yeah it is so the he started, like I think he.

00:08:23.543 --> 00:08:24.165
He started in wrestling.

00:08:24.165 --> 00:08:25.329
I don't think he was doing anything before that.

00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:28.160
Once he was in wrestling and kind of built up his, then he went into movies and stuff like that.

00:08:28.701 --> 00:08:31.427
He was in pro football until he uh.

00:08:31.487 --> 00:08:32.951
Right Until he got injured or something.

00:08:33.172 --> 00:08:34.181
Well then he got cut.

00:08:34.682 --> 00:08:35.605
Oh, okay, he got cut.

00:08:35.725 --> 00:08:42.505
And then, uh, you know life, dream, life was over Right or like speaking of wrestling, look at the John Cena.

00:08:43.047 --> 00:08:44.229
Same thing, right.

00:08:44.229 --> 00:08:46.212
The fans are what?

00:08:46.212 --> 00:08:49.710
And his philosophy is also the same thing, right.

00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:55.780
You always see him signing for fans and taking pictures and stuff like that Flip side.

00:08:55.780 --> 00:09:07.714
You have some actors, maybe musicians too, that are the opposite.

00:09:07.714 --> 00:09:22.609
It's like I'm not on the clock, so to speak, right now right how dare you come to my table where I'm eating with my kids and now I get it?

00:09:22.609 --> 00:09:28.695
Yeah, because there are many fans and many people out there that take it way too far sometimes.

00:09:28.695 --> 00:09:29.255
For sure.

00:09:29.817 --> 00:09:30.256
I get it.

00:09:30.256 --> 00:09:44.096
I personally, like I've seen somebody, like a famous person having dinner with friends and I just I'm just like so starstruck that I'm just like, oh my God.

00:09:44.096 --> 00:09:47.923
Like you know, like from the side and I never.

00:09:47.923 --> 00:09:57.629
I never approached him, a because I'm just too like my God, but also because I'm aware that he's he's there with.

00:09:57.629 --> 00:09:58.650
You know what I mean.

00:09:58.650 --> 00:09:59.111
Yeah.

00:09:59.572 --> 00:10:01.966
I don't know it's such a double-edged sword.

00:10:01.966 --> 00:10:03.451
I can see both sides.

00:10:03.451 --> 00:10:08.725
I can see both sides from their angle and I can also see both sides from the fans angle.

00:10:08.725 --> 00:10:14.445
It's true, you know so I don't know it's, it's, but it's interesting it's.

00:10:14.544 --> 00:10:29.200
It's just interesting that whole like world you know yeah, so I think that's how I would technically handle the attention okay you know and, in that regard, um would you, would they get it right or completely miss who you are?

00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:30.312
I think.

00:10:30.312 --> 00:10:31.918
Look at Taylor Swift.

00:10:31.918 --> 00:10:42.196
I think the amount of dissection in her life, the Easter eggs and this and that Could they get it wrong.

00:10:42.196 --> 00:10:43.534
Do they always get it right?

00:10:43.534 --> 00:10:47.480
Come on, there's got to be something that could get wrong you know what I mean.

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:58.674
I think there's a lot more wrong than right in a's what I'm saying a lot of the celebrity world, exactly, you know, exactly I mean look at like tmz and you know like god and like what are they?

00:10:58.674 --> 00:10:59.739
What are they saying?

00:10:59.739 --> 00:11:03.289
Like, is anything said that's truthful?

00:11:03.811 --> 00:11:07.057
yeah or is it all just a money grab to like sell, fucking?

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:14.130
yeah, and some of the celebrities get so ticked off, like with tmz, oh my gosh, because those guys are.

00:11:14.152 --> 00:11:34.674
See the justin bieber one recently that you know him, I I really feel bad for him, you know, because he, he just is getting like I mean, imagine, starting out, like we know, because we've talked about this in the past, that your brain really only is fully developed in your fucking 20s, early 20s, right yeah, this kid started at 12.

00:11:34.674 --> 00:11:35.277
I know.

00:11:35.297 --> 00:11:55.148
Okay, growing up in this fucking nonsense and when you know I think about I'm kind of jumping all over the place but I think about sometimes, about like, oh, you know, like I'd love to do like a podcast with the kids or like, or you know, to be like one of those like YouTube families that, like you know, goes around recording their days and stuff.

00:11:55.148 --> 00:12:03.278
Do I, let's say, you hit that level of of where you're getting paid and you're getting millions of views on your, on your thing?

00:12:03.278 --> 00:12:08.402
Do you want, really want, to be into that kind of a fucking scrutiny every day?

00:12:08.970 --> 00:12:12.019
Well, you know, there was actually, I think, something on Netflix.

00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.015
Yes, kid fluencing.

00:12:15.417 --> 00:12:15.638
Yeah.

00:12:15.770 --> 00:12:21.198
There's been a couple of different and, like the parents almost have to treat their kids like employees at that point.

00:12:21.418 --> 00:12:22.642
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

00:12:22.642 --> 00:12:23.423
It's pretty bad.

00:12:24.514 --> 00:12:27.428
But you've heard, like the Ruby Frankie story, right?

00:12:27.428 --> 00:12:27.529
Yeah.

00:12:27.529 --> 00:12:28.312
And stuff like that.

00:12:28.312 --> 00:12:43.039
Anyways, I'm going totally off topic, but it just kind of lets you remind you of like, or makes you think about, what you would be willing to go through for that level of fame and money, and is it even really worth it?

00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:52.381
I don't know about that I know, part of me is like I think I'll just stay in my nook and have my coffee and do my little art with my kids.

00:12:52.381 --> 00:12:57.760
Okay, so there's different kinds of fandoms right.

00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:58.511
There's TV.

00:12:58.511 --> 00:13:01.759
There's movies, music, gaming.

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:09.582
Yeah, right, I will be very honest and say I know very little about all of them, especially gaming.

00:13:09.582 --> 00:13:13.457
But let's start with TV.

00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:14.341
Okay.

00:13:15.191 --> 00:13:25.885
Are there any TV-like shows that really spark longevity?

00:13:25.885 --> 00:13:28.238
First thing that comes to my mind is Gilmore Girls.

00:13:28.238 --> 00:13:31.416
Oh my gosh Right, the fans for Gilmore Girls.

00:13:31.416 --> 00:13:33.413
That show was like 20 years ago.

00:13:33.413 --> 00:13:34.075
Yeah.

00:13:34.075 --> 00:13:35.697
And it's coming back, friends.

00:13:36.298 --> 00:13:36.558
Yeah.

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.620
Seinfeld.

00:13:37.701 --> 00:13:38.363
Walking Dead.

00:13:38.523 --> 00:13:41.977
Walking Dead, game of Thrones, you know.

00:13:41.977 --> 00:13:48.202
So there's tons that have fandom, old and new.

00:13:48.543 --> 00:13:51.191
Yeah, dead Boy Detectives I loved.

00:13:51.231 --> 00:13:52.923
I've never heard old and new yeah, dead boy detectives.

00:13:52.942 --> 00:13:53.325
I love that one.

00:13:53.325 --> 00:13:54.009
Oh my gosh, you should know.

00:13:54.009 --> 00:14:02.860
No, not not exactly new, new, but dead boy detectives, uh, it's a comic okay, but they made a real movie out of it, a real tv show out of it.

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:06.291
But um, if I'm not mistaken, I have to double check.

00:14:06.291 --> 00:14:08.839
I hope they're renewing.

00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:11.025
I don't know if they're renewing for second season.

00:14:11.025 --> 00:14:14.513
That's sad, you know some of these ones did you watch?

00:14:15.153 --> 00:14:19.780
uh, like, for example, chaos k-a-o-s.

00:14:19.780 --> 00:14:23.346
Oh my gosh, it was the best.

00:14:23.346 --> 00:14:26.715
They canceled it after the first season.

00:14:26.715 --> 00:14:28.136
I really don't know why.

00:14:28.136 --> 00:14:33.870
The actors super hot shot celebrity actors and it was so good.

00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:36.655
Yeah, oh my gosh, it was the best.

00:14:36.655 --> 00:14:37.898
I loved it.

00:14:37.898 --> 00:14:46.693
It was the most hilarious religion-based TV show ever, I'm telling you.

00:14:47.315 --> 00:14:50.697
So here's a question to you TV shows.

00:14:50.697 --> 00:14:56.783
Are there any series that you've watched several times over the years?

00:14:57.224 --> 00:14:57.504
Yes.

00:14:58.424 --> 00:14:58.846
Name one.

00:14:59.166 --> 00:15:01.354
I can't Okay I have such a bad memory.

00:15:02.157 --> 00:15:06.198
Take a look, stranger Things, supernatural.

00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:08.177
So it was the Walking Dead for sure.

00:15:08.769 --> 00:15:10.174
I've watched that two or three times.

00:15:10.355 --> 00:15:10.836
The Boys.

00:15:11.599 --> 00:15:12.061
You know what?

00:15:12.061 --> 00:15:13.918
I haven't even finished the third season.

00:15:14.289 --> 00:15:17.340
I haven't either, but I was into that.

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:18.934
Oh, Breaking Bad.

00:15:21.153 --> 00:15:22.538
But that you've re-watched.

00:15:22.538 --> 00:15:24.275
For me it was Supernatural.

00:15:24.791 --> 00:15:29.241
The one I re-watched, at least on this list, was Avatar the Last Airbender.

00:15:29.241 --> 00:15:31.974
Okay yeah, I loved that one.

00:15:32.094 --> 00:15:33.177
Yeah, that was a good one.

00:15:33.177 --> 00:15:36.275
Yeah, For me it was supernatural.

00:15:36.275 --> 00:15:37.878
Oh, were we watching Buffy?

00:15:38.662 --> 00:15:39.063
No way.

00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:43.294
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Angel in sequence, like we're going back and forth.

00:15:43.294 --> 00:15:43.937
Oh, wow.

00:15:43.937 --> 00:15:48.374
Yeah, because we wanted Riley to experience it.

00:15:48.374 --> 00:15:49.034
That's awesome.

00:15:49.034 --> 00:15:51.878
And Grayson's got into it now, so it's pretty good.

00:15:51.878 --> 00:15:54.100
Yeah, so love those ones.

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:57.163
Clearly I have a niche.

00:15:57.163 --> 00:16:06.158
It's like dark creepy it's great, whatever.

00:16:06.158 --> 00:16:11.356
What about movies?

00:16:11.356 --> 00:16:13.721
Any movies that stick out to you Star.

00:16:13.741 --> 00:16:14.022
Wars.

00:16:14.022 --> 00:16:22.649
Okay, so what do you think about the fandom for Star Wars?

00:16:22.649 --> 00:16:24.493
Well, I mean, they're hardcore.

00:16:24.513 --> 00:16:27.038
What's one of the things that they like?

00:16:27.038 --> 00:16:27.721
What's their shtick?

00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:35.874
Well, just, you know definitely um the cosplay and stuff.

00:16:35.874 --> 00:16:44.741
Okay, like when they go to these events, like some of them are like decked out, like they look like a real stormtrooper really you know, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah like real stormtrooper.

00:16:44.741 --> 00:16:45.730
Like they're they.

00:16:45.730 --> 00:16:46.553
They go all out.

00:16:46.553 --> 00:16:49.042
Some, like you know, they have darth vader.

00:16:49.042 --> 00:16:51.568
Like the, the voice even sounds like darth vader.

00:16:51.568 --> 00:16:54.495
They have like the, the lightsaber looks real.

00:16:54.495 --> 00:16:58.260
Oh yeah, they go so do they.

00:16:58.481 --> 00:17:06.550
So they, they must be like really super in depth with every single movie, like maybe inconsistencies they'll point out stuff like that.

00:17:06.570 --> 00:17:13.181
I'm sure they huddle at these events and they have group talks and they're, you know, arguing about.

00:17:13.181 --> 00:17:16.285
You know what chip is in the lightsaber?

00:17:16.285 --> 00:17:16.685
Yeah.

00:17:16.685 --> 00:17:19.038
Yeah, for sure.

00:17:19.117 --> 00:17:19.559
Shit.

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.594
For us in our house.

00:17:21.594 --> 00:17:23.178
It's Marvel.

00:17:23.178 --> 00:17:24.181
Marvel's a big one.

00:17:24.181 --> 00:17:28.175
The comic books James is huge on that.

00:17:28.175 --> 00:17:30.156
I'm just along for the ride.

00:17:30.156 --> 00:17:32.057
I enjoy a lot of them.

00:17:32.057 --> 00:17:49.012
But to ask me what the comics did and the differences in costumes and stuff like that, I'm like right over there, but James is into that and obviously by default, riley is into that and Grayson is getting into it, so that's a big thing for us.

00:17:49.034 --> 00:17:51.406
Marvel cool I'm really into Daredevil, is into that and Grayson is getting into it, so that's a big thing for us.

00:17:51.406 --> 00:17:51.808
Marvel, cool.

00:17:51.808 --> 00:17:53.536
Yeah, I'm really into Daredevil.

00:17:53.536 --> 00:17:55.015
Have you started, have you?

00:17:55.349 --> 00:17:56.516
I didn't watch Daredevil.

00:17:56.516 --> 00:18:11.017
I always loved the Supermans and I'd say that I was definitely a huge fan of oh my gosh, a huge fan.

00:18:11.017 --> 00:18:16.259
I can't even remember their names guardians of the galaxy.

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:21.269
Yeah, thank you love those guys, I love those guys guardians of the galaxy.

00:18:21.410 --> 00:18:24.973
Yeah, those are fun, those are good ones, yeah, um, okay.

00:18:24.973 --> 00:18:29.317
So music we've kind of touched on that a little bit with the Swifties.

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:38.267
Me, I'm very deep into, like the indie rap.

00:18:38.606 --> 00:18:39.968
Okay, indie rap.

00:18:39.968 --> 00:18:42.776
Yeah, oh, geez, I was going to say indie music or indie folk.

00:18:43.176 --> 00:18:50.982
No, okay, like indie rap Like just like the underground hip hop kind of.

00:18:54.269 --> 00:19:04.114
I like, like, just like the, the underground hip-hop kind of I like I the reason why is because they, they speak to me, because a lot of these indian underground, uh, rappers, they you can actually understand them.

00:19:04.114 --> 00:19:11.040
You know, it's not like you know, like you actually understand what they're saying, but there's also like that, that, that that hero story.

00:19:11.040 --> 00:19:17.519
It's always like you actually understand what they're saying, but there's also like that hero story, it's always like you know, I came from nothing and now I'm here.

00:19:17.780 --> 00:19:28.200
Yeah, you know it's all and so to not have the, even though I'm a huge Eminem fan, but to not have, like you know, it's Eminem, right.

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:36.460
Like these guys that, like you know, like they, they, they, they, some of them, they just want the views on their YouTube, you know.

00:19:36.641 --> 00:19:36.861
Yeah.

00:19:37.242 --> 00:19:49.492
Like um, there's a seven years remix that I love and again it's an indie rapper and you know, but he's got like 27 million uh views on his.

00:19:49.492 --> 00:19:51.925
Youtube yeah, but you know, know what I mean.

00:19:51.925 --> 00:19:53.271
So it's like things like that.

00:19:53.271 --> 00:20:01.361
You know that's like awesome, you know like, and you know he raps all about how all his teachers, for example, said that like you would amount to nothing.

00:20:01.361 --> 00:20:09.202
So you know, like, I like hearing those stories and a lot of the indie rappers and the underground, it's that they're.

00:20:09.303 --> 00:20:14.915
They're like the underdog yeah, and they're focused on talking about that, you know.

00:20:14.915 --> 00:20:18.603
So that's what's cool about it, you know, versus the dilemma.

00:20:18.603 --> 00:20:21.414
Now, like even kendrick lamar, it's like you're.

00:20:21.414 --> 00:20:28.174
You're listening to nothing in my opinion, you know, you're just, it's good, but it's like you, they're.

00:20:28.174 --> 00:20:33.023
The story is not a story, you know, and like some of the rappers, it's more like diss tracks.

00:20:33.450 --> 00:20:37.201
Yeah, you know, and some of the rappers it's like, you know, like, what are you saying?

00:20:37.201 --> 00:20:47.105
You know, like, you're just like okay, you know, like, like no, I just I can't, I can't.

00:20:47.105 --> 00:20:50.496
Well, that comedian talked about it and it was hilarious.

00:20:50.496 --> 00:20:59.250
When he did it, he was like mumbling, you know, and then says the last word, you know, and then they played the song and everyone was laughing because it was literally like that Mumble, mumble, mumble.

00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:00.896
You hear what the last word is.

00:21:00.896 --> 00:21:01.913
You know, he's like.

00:21:01.913 --> 00:21:16.857
I hate that, you know, and it's true, like I can't stand that, even like like Tupac, for example, even Notorious BIG, you understood everything that was said, you know.

00:21:16.877 --> 00:21:36.117
So, even though I'm talking about underground, like, these are good representations of like up there, but like it, like it's the sound and the the yeah yes, that you that you name me a song where you don't hear the lyrics of tupac, that you hear every lyric, you hear every story.

00:21:36.117 --> 00:21:40.715
You know that he says yeah, right there isn't one where you're like what the fuck did he say?

00:21:40.715 --> 00:21:42.364
You know that was so fast.

00:21:42.364 --> 00:21:44.111
Or you know, like buster rhymes.

00:21:45.232 --> 00:21:58.439
Like buster rhymes is great, but calm down, you know, like it's too fast yeah you know, yeah, so anyway, my tangent you're a little fandom going out there see yeah, I guess I have.

00:21:58.459 --> 00:22:06.837
I guess I have a little fandom there, music wise, it's true, yeah oh shit all right this or that this or that my.

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.861
Why don't you start?

00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:12.305
All right, so let's go.

00:22:12.305 --> 00:22:13.205
Tv shows.

00:22:13.205 --> 00:22:16.633
No, how about music, music, right, you want music or shows?

00:22:16.633 --> 00:22:17.915
Which one do you want?

00:22:18.477 --> 00:22:19.500
You know what Give me shows.

00:22:20.102 --> 00:22:24.898
Okay, stranger Things or the Last of Us.

00:22:24.898 --> 00:22:28.750
I've never seen the Last of Us, stranger Things.

00:22:29.753 --> 00:22:30.597
I saw season one.

00:22:30.597 --> 00:22:32.295
Season two just came out.

00:22:32.315 --> 00:22:32.576
Is it?

00:22:32.635 --> 00:22:33.077
good.

00:22:33.077 --> 00:22:33.960
I told James.

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.861
James was like, are we going to watch the first episode?

00:22:37.861 --> 00:22:39.215
And I was just like I'm not invested.

00:22:39.810 --> 00:22:40.781
In what the Last of Us?

00:22:40.781 --> 00:22:44.460
Yeah, I'm not invested, but was it good, the first season it was, it was fine.

00:22:44.891 --> 00:22:48.192
That's that video game, right it's just that it's yet another fucking zombie.

00:22:48.192 --> 00:22:50.797
Everybody's going to hurt me for this in my house.

00:22:50.797 --> 00:22:55.023
Nobody's going to be happy with me with this comment, but it's yet another zombie thing.

00:22:55.023 --> 00:22:55.585
You know what I mean.

00:22:55.585 --> 00:23:00.775
Yet another end of the world, anyway.

00:23:00.795 --> 00:23:03.057
But it's representative to that game.

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.301
Yes, it's obviously about the game.

00:23:05.301 --> 00:23:06.463
Yeah, obviously.

00:23:06.463 --> 00:23:11.398
Yes, okay, it is very representative.

00:23:11.419 --> 00:23:18.559
Okay, because I never played the game, but I remember the game looking really good and so I'm wondering what the, what the?

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.076
But, like you know, like the walking dead, for example I know that's also another end of the world thing.

00:23:23.217 --> 00:23:24.923
I don't know why, yeah I.

00:23:25.063 --> 00:23:35.173
I used to love it, but actually what ended up happening with me is like, I think when we got to like season five, or something you gonna you're gonna read my mind right now with the comment that you're going to make.

00:23:35.354 --> 00:23:35.695
Say it.

00:23:35.957 --> 00:23:40.338
Glenn died, and after Glenn I didn't want to watch it anymore.

00:23:40.338 --> 00:23:42.698
But that's not the real reason.

00:23:42.698 --> 00:23:47.657
What I noticed after season five was like my God, the same thing keeps happening.

00:23:47.657 --> 00:23:58.383
It's like they go into a place, there's some freaking cannibals or there's whatever freaking cannibals or there's you know whatever, and they fight that and then they escape.

00:23:58.383 --> 00:24:01.944
And then they move on to the next type of thing.

00:24:01.964 --> 00:24:02.569
One person dies or five.

00:24:03.352 --> 00:24:05.720
And then you know, it repeats yes.

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:08.449
And I just got to the point where I was like, okay, you know.

00:24:08.449 --> 00:24:11.392
And then Glenn died, I was like, okay, I'm out.

00:24:11.732 --> 00:24:15.239
Yeah, yeah, no, exactly, ding ding ding.

00:24:15.239 --> 00:24:15.900
Same thing.

00:24:15.900 --> 00:24:17.343
Same thought process with me too.

00:24:17.343 --> 00:24:30.404
It's just like I get it Like it's a great show, people are watching it, and so you have to have the content right, like yeah, but at a certain point it's like okay.

00:24:30.404 --> 00:24:31.991
Yeah, that's it.

00:24:31.991 --> 00:24:34.696
Yeah, okay.

00:24:34.696 --> 00:24:37.161
Do you want movie or gaming?

00:24:38.182 --> 00:24:38.503
Gaming.

00:24:41.580 --> 00:24:41.701
Okay.

00:24:43.433 --> 00:24:43.976
Minecraft or Roblox.

00:24:43.976 --> 00:24:44.979
I probably have to go Roblox.

00:24:44.979 --> 00:24:47.573
I hate Minecraft.

00:24:47.853 --> 00:24:49.076
So you didn't see the movie then.

00:24:49.557 --> 00:24:51.701
No, no, but I would.

00:24:56.710 --> 00:24:57.211
That I would go see.

00:24:57.211 --> 00:24:57.311
Yes.

00:24:57.332 --> 00:24:57.633
Yeah, I wouldn.

00:24:57.633 --> 00:24:58.977
Yes, yeah, I didn't know, jason mamal was in it.

00:24:58.997 --> 00:25:00.281
I just went because the oh, is he?

00:25:00.281 --> 00:25:00.803
Yes, he's in it.

00:25:00.884 --> 00:25:01.987
It's freaking hilarious, josh I I.

00:25:01.987 --> 00:25:05.900
I would go see it because I'm fine with a movie of minecraft.

00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:10.934
I just don't like the game of minecraft like I don't well, it's like you're building.

00:25:10.994 --> 00:25:13.320
It's like I get it a world, but I don't get it.

00:25:13.582 --> 00:25:16.789
It's not the same thing as Roblox, because Roblox, I can go into different games.

00:25:16.789 --> 00:25:18.036
I can go into a shooting game.

00:25:18.036 --> 00:25:20.015
I can go into this game Like.

00:25:20.015 --> 00:25:22.801
So yeah, yeah, okay, tv show still.

00:25:22.801 --> 00:25:26.374
How about I already know the answer on this one?

00:25:26.374 --> 00:25:31.740
Supernatural, this or that, which is Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

00:25:33.561 --> 00:25:37.145
So I have to choose between Supernatural or Buffy.

00:25:38.550 --> 00:25:40.535
Yeah.

00:25:40.555 --> 00:25:41.316
Really Supernatural.

00:25:41.817 --> 00:25:44.121
What I would have thought it was Buffy.

00:25:44.121 --> 00:25:46.025
You were the biggest Buffy fan.

00:25:46.025 --> 00:25:49.616
Yeah, supernatural, I don't know.

00:25:49.616 --> 00:25:52.363
What the hell is Supernatural, is that with the two guys?

00:25:53.750 --> 00:25:53.830
Yes.

00:25:56.194 --> 00:25:58.098
Really Dean and Sam.

00:25:58.098 --> 00:25:59.422
That show was that good.

00:25:59.741 --> 00:26:02.551
It was I.

00:26:02.551 --> 00:26:03.413
Yeah, it was really.

00:26:03.413 --> 00:26:04.915
I really fucking liked it.

00:26:05.195 --> 00:26:08.881
Wow, I'm impressed the fact that you turned away Buffy.

00:26:08.881 --> 00:26:11.505
I know, buffy, if you're listening, no, but it was really.

00:26:13.369 --> 00:26:14.412
That was really hard.

00:26:14.412 --> 00:26:19.577
Okay, still gaming League of Legends or Overwatch.

00:26:20.239 --> 00:26:21.121
Oh, League of Legends.

00:26:21.121 --> 00:26:23.963
League of Legends will win every competition.

00:26:24.184 --> 00:26:25.646
Oh, really yeah, yeah.

00:26:27.613 --> 00:26:29.155
I don't even know what they are.

00:26:29.155 --> 00:26:30.799
I invested too much of time into that game to pick something else.

00:26:31.181 --> 00:26:31.643
Oh shit.

00:26:31.990 --> 00:26:33.997
So there's not another game you can mention.

00:26:33.997 --> 00:26:35.721
League of Legends would win every time.

00:26:35.923 --> 00:26:36.223
Okay.

00:26:36.750 --> 00:26:38.297
All right, how about music here, sure?

00:26:38.297 --> 00:26:42.481
How about we go One Direction or Five Seconds of Summer?

00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:44.096
I don't know either one of them.

00:26:44.994 --> 00:26:47.289
You don't know, One Direction Okay well, I know One Direction.

00:26:47.790 --> 00:26:51.236
So I mean I guess by default, because I don't know the other one, I'll have to go with One Direction.

00:26:51.435 --> 00:26:54.641
Okay, fine, how about Swifties or Army?

I loved the Toy Stories.

00:28:02.297 --> 00:28:04.676
You want to talk about a movie I watched 500 times?

00:28:04.676 --> 00:28:05.861
Well, there you go, toy Story.

00:28:06.029 --> 00:28:06.250
Okay.

And then Disney animated classics are like the old ones the Pinocchio, okay.

So Pixar.

00:28:13.173 --> 00:28:13.959

I'm going to skip back to gaming, for the last one for you.

00:28:18.915 --> 00:28:19.176
Okay.

00:28:19.176 --> 00:28:25.136
You ready Zelda or Final Fantasy?

00:28:25.698 --> 00:28:26.401
Final Fantasy.

00:28:26.401 --> 00:28:47.324
A lot of people are going to hate on me on that one, but I've always been a big Cloud fan if I were into cosplay yeah I would dress up as cloud okay, yeah if I were into yeah, I would have the big, massive sword.

00:28:47.324 --> 00:28:49.712
You know the spiky blonde hair.

00:28:49.712 --> 00:28:53.140
100, okay, yeah interesting, yeah, interesting.

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:54.804
Or, of course, Goku.

00:28:54.804 --> 00:28:56.839
I would be Goku from Dragon Ball Z.

00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.095
Yeah, Okay, here I'll give you one more.

00:29:00.095 --> 00:29:05.661
Oh okay, Glee or Teen Wolf for TV shows.

00:29:06.933 --> 00:29:08.184
I don't like either one of them.

00:29:08.184 --> 00:29:12.298
Oh, really I don't like musicals, and Teen Wolf was just not my vibe.

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:19.835
Okay, fair, okay, wait, I got one that I think you were into Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon.

00:29:21.657 --> 00:29:22.619
Oh shit.

00:29:22.619 --> 00:29:34.616
But you know what, if I had to choose between the two, I would say House of Dragons oh really, yeah, really yeah, they're both really good, but House of Dragons, I think, will notch it up a little.

00:29:34.616 --> 00:29:37.041
Hmm, yeah, okay.

00:29:37.041 --> 00:29:38.423
Well, that was fun, that was good.

00:29:39.210 --> 00:29:41.635
So give me a regret of the week.

00:29:44.082 --> 00:29:52.457
Okay, well, for the sake of this topic, it's not going to be like a regret for this week, but it'll be a regret regarding this topic.

00:29:52.457 --> 00:29:53.259
Are we okay with that?

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:54.873
Sure, be like a regret for this week, but it'll be a regret regarding this topic.

00:29:54.873 --> 00:29:55.334
Are we okay with that?

00:29:55.334 --> 00:29:55.534
Sure, okay.

00:29:55.534 --> 00:30:01.346
So regret would be that I didn't spend the money and go to the eras tour when they came.

00:30:01.346 --> 00:30:06.719
When she came to, uh, toronto, I was right there.

00:30:06.838 --> 00:30:13.577
Could, I, could, I just click and then I was like got sticker shock and I was like, oh my, oh, my God, and I didn't go.

00:30:13.577 --> 00:30:20.105
So, yeah, I think it would have been a really really like fun experience.

00:30:20.105 --> 00:30:21.247
So I kind of regret that.

00:30:21.589 --> 00:30:24.698
But you know, I'm sure you'll maybe have another opportunity or something.

00:30:24.738 --> 00:30:25.380
For that.

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:26.221
I don't know.

00:30:26.221 --> 00:30:26.643
No, I don't know.

00:30:26.643 --> 00:30:28.971
I don't know if she's ever going to do something like that again.

00:30:28.971 --> 00:30:29.432
Maybe you?

00:30:29.471 --> 00:30:31.053
might travel somewhere to see.

00:30:31.053 --> 00:30:33.836
Maybe If it's somewhere else, or something yeah, maybe.

00:30:33.836 --> 00:30:36.438
Maybe At its core.

00:30:36.438 --> 00:30:38.239
Fandom is just a way of saying.

00:30:38.239 --> 00:30:43.583
This thing mattered to me, and I wanted someone else to feel it too.

00:30:44.144 --> 00:30:44.723
Oh yeah.

00:30:45.105 --> 00:30:45.345
Right.

00:30:45.585 --> 00:30:47.967
Yeah, that's a great way of putting it actually.

00:30:47.967 --> 00:30:57.877
Yeah, well, guys, I hope you enjoyed this episode and getting to know us a little bit better and things that we like and don't like.

00:30:57.877 --> 00:30:58.440
