Transcript
Speaker:

Howdy, it's the Southern Senpai Show, where small town southerners explore

Speaker:

big time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and DJ.

Speaker:

What's going on y'all, it's Southern Senpais.

Speaker:

Two southern guys who explore Japanese culture together.

Speaker:

I'm Nicholas.

Speaker:

I'm DJ, and he did pause.

Speaker:

But I purposely did look at him this time.

Speaker:

You were so dramatic in the way you did not look.

Speaker:

I just can't win, you guys.

Speaker:

You hear this?

Speaker:

I just can't win, I just have to leave the room and then maybe, but apparently not.

Speaker:

I can't.

Speaker:

You were dramatic.

Speaker:

All you had to do was just sit there and wait for me to do it.

Speaker:

And you were just like, no, don't look at me.

Speaker:

Who was that for?

Speaker:

They can't see what you're doing, Nicholas.

Speaker:

Yeah, so you don't know I did it.

Speaker:

Today we're watching along, first of all, Live Like Episode 5.

Speaker:

And Nicholas, you want to tell us about the how you feel about it so far?

Speaker:

I'm liking the anime more and more each episode.

Speaker:

It started out very generic.

Speaker:

But I'm also a big fan of RPGs.

Speaker:

So it could be that.

Speaker:

What's one of your favorite RPGs?

Speaker:

Huh?

Speaker:

Do you like Final Fantasy?

Speaker:

One of my favorite RPGs was Lord of the Rings.

Speaker:

I really liked Kingdom Hearts.

Speaker:

But the Lord of the Rings Wait wait, which Lord of the Rings?

Speaker:

Because there's a bunch of Lord of the Rings games.

Speaker:

Lord of the Rings Two Towers and Return of the King.

Speaker:

What, Game Boy Advance.

Speaker:

Oh, okay, Game Boy Advance.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

Because in Game Boy Advance, I think on PC you didn't get a chance

Speaker:

to choose the different weapons.

Speaker:

But in Game Boy Advance, there were like different items that dropped and it was

Speaker:

like rarities and like stuff like that.

Speaker:

So that was my favorite.

Speaker:

I never really got into RPGs except for the major ones.

Speaker:

Technically Pokemon's an RPG Final Fantasy Kingdom Hearts.

Speaker:

Yeah, just major ones.

Speaker:

I wasn't cool enough to play at RPGs like you are.

Speaker:

I think it's getting better.

Speaker:

I personally know this episode is going to be really good for me to

Speaker:

really be like, all right, cool.

Speaker:

I'm along for the rest of this ride, right?

Speaker:

Because what that means, it means less Judy.

Speaker:

Less Judy.

Speaker:

Cuz, we're saying big booty Judy ironically.

Speaker:

She is truly, long back Judy.

Speaker:

She is, two dented sidewalk potholes Judy.

Speaker:

She is liquid death can Judy.

Speaker:

She has the body shape of just like a tree log.

Speaker:

And this man is Oh, I care about her, but she's been nothing

Speaker:

but a bitch this whole time.

Speaker:

Just a horrible person on the inside and out.

Speaker:

And she's you need to stay home.

Speaker:

Cause you get no hose.

Speaker:

You can't fucking do anything that I usually get hurt.

Speaker:

And then she acts like she cares about him, but she really doesn't.

Speaker:

She this is.

Speaker:

She's like the result of a toxic abusive relationship because now that he's strong.

Speaker:

She's gonna be like falling more and more in love with him Yeah, and she

Speaker:

was like, oh you should take me out to take dinner After this in the first

Speaker:

episode, but she was saying it cuz like he owed her not because she like really

Speaker:

likes him Yeah let's see what happens in this episode What do you what?

Speaker:

Does this episode need to provide for you to be like, okay, I'm

Speaker:

wrong for the rest of this, right?

Speaker:

Just continue to get better.

Speaker:

Level up?

Speaker:

Yeah, level up.

Speaker:

Solo leveling.

Speaker:

They got a solo level.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

As you guys know, we don't have the studio 23 minutes and 40 seconds.

Speaker:

I'm gonna press play in three, two, one.

Speaker:

Oh, we're back at the generic hospital.

Speaker:

This man gettin ripped in there.

Speaker:

This man levelin up in there.

Speaker:

Yo, hey.

Speaker:

Bro.

Speaker:

Why is he still in the hospital if he's leveled up, like he's clearly healed.

Speaker:

His face has changed and everything.

Speaker:

So he's got, he gets more attractive.

Speaker:

That's so funny.

Speaker:

He gets more attractive the more he levels up?

Speaker:

He doesn't even look like the same guy.

Speaker:

He got taller.

Speaker:

He got taller.

Speaker:

Cuz he used to have that blue hair.

Speaker:

Wait, what?

Speaker:

Oh, damn, he's getting a hose.

Speaker:

Man.

Speaker:

See, he doesn't even look like that anymore.

Speaker:

And the and it's ruined.

Speaker:

And it's gone.

Speaker:

This.

Speaker:

Wouldn't that be great?

Speaker:

Hey, I'd do three push ups and I'd get Yeah, I wish that was the case.

Speaker:

Actually, it is.

Speaker:

How many, fat, doughy people work out and they become like

Speaker:

ripped and everyone's Oh, wow.

Speaker:

Because they were ripped the whole time.

Speaker:

They just had a bunch of fat on them.

Speaker:

It was also really interesting.

Speaker:

They're like, Oh, you people say Oh the fat, ugly person, them are

Speaker:

the same person as I was then.

Speaker:

So you should have liked that fat, ugly person.

Speaker:

You're clearly not the same person.

Speaker:

You're the person who now has learned discipline to get into

Speaker:

shape and be a better person.

Speaker:

You are not the same person as previously.

Speaker:

You evolved.

Speaker:

I feel like a lot of people go through that, that's why

Speaker:

middle school sucks so hard.

Speaker:

Because you see everyone else leveling up and you're like,

Speaker:

Damn bro, when's my chance?

Speaker:

Why am I gonna level up?

Speaker:

Bro, you ain't lying.

Speaker:

I was like 4 foot 11, 50 pounds.

Speaker:

I still am.

Speaker:

Yeah, I'm glad I had that growth spurt.

Speaker:

Yes!

Speaker:

Yes!

Speaker:

Oh, what's a ultra morning?

Speaker:

It's better than a regular morning, clearly.

Speaker:

The White Tiger Guild.

Speaker:

So this is Power Rangers, we are doing Power Rangers.

Speaker:

I don't blame you guys, Power Rangers is awesome.

Speaker:

Dude, that's All Might.

Speaker:

I think you mean Vegeta.

Speaker:

It's the same guy though, I'm just, I'm switching, but yeah it is.

Speaker:

Or at least sounds like him.

Speaker:

I remember when I was working out a lot, like last year.

Speaker:

And I finally hit my PR.

Speaker:

Deadlifting 400 pounds.

Speaker:

And I remember it like it was yesterday.

Speaker:

And the only reason why is because I deadlifted and I was like, Wow!

Speaker:

I can't believe I reached my goal.

Speaker:

I'm going to stop trying now.

Speaker:

Laughter.

Speaker:

And I totally regressed.

Speaker:

Laughter.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

I'm done.

Speaker:

I just wanna see if I can do it.

Speaker:

That is clearly not what's happening.

Speaker:

Obviously.

Speaker:

I grew a foot and a half.

Speaker:

He doesn't even sound the same anymore.

Speaker:

a different voice actor.

Speaker:

That would be awesome.

Speaker:

Level up and you become more attractive for no reason.

Speaker:

Oh, he's level 18 now.

Speaker:

Intelligence 27.

Speaker:

Turn it up.

Speaker:

He's whispering like I hate this about freaking there's so many

Speaker:

shows out there in which they have zero audio mixing abilities

Speaker:

This is also so unrealistic if you were in the hospital your landlord

Speaker:

did not give two fucks right my money

Speaker:

Why what was up with the crush shot I guess it's dual fan service, these right?

Speaker:

Dual.

Speaker:

It's equal rights.

Speaker:

Aren't you already like supposedly the weakest person, so like it

Speaker:

doesn't everyone already know you?

Speaker:

So he's still, yeah, he's still a eran because 'cause there's no one

Speaker:

can level up so he's still an eran.

Speaker:

But here's the thing, everyone, he's already the most famous person.

Speaker:

'cause everyone knows he's the weakest one.

Speaker:

So I don't get why having more notoriety would change your life in any aspect.

Speaker:

Yeah, so it's okay, so he's super famous.

Speaker:

He's already really famous So why would you care if you stick out

Speaker:

like a nail this makes no sense?

Speaker:

Okay, you need minimum 800s, but there's seven of you

Speaker:

Two million dollars for participating.

Speaker:

Yo, I would love to actually sign me up dude.

Speaker:

Let me rank

Speaker:

Probably I

Speaker:

love how insurance and contracts are still a part of this thing

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

Damn.

Speaker:

I didn't know you turned into Sasuke all of a sudden.

Speaker:

Yeah, he went from straight up soy boy to, oh, I guess I'm a cool protagonist now.

Speaker:

You know what I think?

Speaker:

I honestly believe that whoever created this, He might be like, an incel person,

Speaker:

who like, now he envisions himself doing this, but instead of actually doing

Speaker:

those pushups and situps and becoming more attractive, he just made this mug.

Speaker:

That's fucked up.

Speaker:

We don't even know who made this.

Speaker:

Time to find out!

Speaker:

It could be a woman made this.

Speaker:

Yeah, but it was one of those things that was made online.

Speaker:

It was one of those online web mangas first.

Speaker:

So I'm pretty sure it's a dude.

Speaker:

This was an online web manga?

Speaker:

Yeah, I hate to say it, because I'm a male writer.

Speaker:

But usually females can write better than this.

Speaker:

Actually, I don't hate to say that.

Speaker:

Some of my favorite stuff has been written by a woman, actually.

Speaker:

It was written by It was a Korean webtoon written by Chu Gong.

Speaker:

Chugong, I don't, there's no pictures of Chugong.

Speaker:

Who is Chugong?

Speaker:

Oh, here he is, Chugong.

Speaker:

You think they're all gonna die like last time?

Speaker:

Oh wait, no, this is not Chugong, this is somebody else.

Speaker:

I think they're all gonna die like last time.

Speaker:

Man, I sure hope they do.

Speaker:

All I see is what happened to Solo Leveling.

Speaker:

Wait, is it, the author of Solo Leveling?

Speaker:

Oh, there's a rumor that he died.

Speaker:

But he's not.

Speaker:

There's always a rumor.

Speaker:

Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker:

There's a portal to a big empty cave.

Speaker:

This is why you're D rank.

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:

That man specifically, his powers are stupid.

Speaker:

Fire ba You're gonna look me in the eye and tell me fire baseball.

Speaker:

His powers are from Mario.

Speaker:

I was a big fan of Black Clover.

Speaker:

Ol boy is about to get some serious leveled up.

Speaker:

So what do you think it's some sort of spider?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, you mean with the webs and everything?

Speaker:

Maybe it's a spider.

Speaker:

Ugh.

Speaker:

I just said, it's the statues for the second time.

and then put all this in my inventory.

Speaker:

Let's do it together guys!

Speaker:

Are

Speaker:

you gonna murder this guy?

Speaker:

They're gonna abandon him.

No.

Speaker:

That man did that, what, bone lengthening?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

From Bucky.

Speaker:

From real life?

Speaker:

It's so interesting, look at the people who have done the

Speaker:

guys who do bone lengthening.

Speaker:

And apparently women do it too.

Speaker:

Which is interesting.

Speaker:

But, the bone lengthening they'll be taller, but they have shorter arms.

Speaker:

They don't have the wingspan of Yo.

Speaker:

I'm always like, There's a really good way for to tell

Speaker:

someone's done bone lengthening.

Speaker:

You'd be like, Hey man, Touch your toes.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Most people can easily touch their toes.

Speaker:

Unless you're like, fat or out of shape.

Speaker:

You don't seem fat.

Speaker:

You don't seem out of shape.

Speaker:

Go ahead and touch your toes.

Speaker:

If you can't, You did that bone lengthening, did ya?

Speaker:

Is this going to be the theme?

Speaker:

It's like I've battled God, so nothing else is scary to me?

Speaker:

I think he's gonna, yeah, he's hitting that part like,

Speaker:

Naruto with the swing set, bro.

Speaker:

He's oh yeah.
