Ranking of Kings - I Don't Think You're Wrong
Chainsaw man and cyberpunk were probably amongst the top two in terms of how they looked. An anime like Boji was not. In fact, Boji has an incredibly strong narrative and just didn't get the recognition for it. I feel like people are watching anime because it looks shiny and pretty and not because it has even five brain cells in it. "I don't really find it to be all that compelling compared to a show like ranking of kings"

Speaker 2
What are two or three books you've recommended most to other people? Okay.
Speaker 1
So I just finished this book that I love so much. It's not a, it's not a professional book, but it's Project Hail Mary by Andy Ware. It's the same author that wrote Martian. Martian also was made in the movie. So good. So good. I can put it down. I think I read it in like two days straight. So highly recommend that. And the next one that I also started reading right now is Bobbyverse. Bobbyverse is so good. It actually takes into account of like AI and how we can upload our consciousness in the AI and what can happen with that. So highly recommend that I think it's actually closer to what potentially can be in the truth for us in the future than not. But I'm a big sci-fi geek, so I read mostly sci-fi books. I
Speaker 2
have a sci-fi recommendation for you that comes from Noah Smith. I love his newsletter. It's called Noah Opinion. And he has a list of his favorite sci-fi books that I've been working my way through. It's called, you may have read it, by Wer vogel fire upon the deep have you heard of this no okay it's uh it's described as a not a sci-fi but space like a space opera where it's epic the most epic scale of universe story i'll
Speaker 1
download it tonight it'll be on my list it
Speaker 2
takes a little bit to get into it's like quite unique but you just keep going. And it's incredible. And AI plays a big role in it, actually. That's awesome. I'll then love it. There you go. Okay. Question number two. Favorite recent movie or TV show you really enjoyed? I
Speaker 1
just got to watching Beef on Netflix. It's so good. It's set on... I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. Just beef. You should watch it. It's a limited series. It's so good. It will run through. I love Veep on HBO. So funny. I've probably watched it two times already, the entire series. And I'll probably watch it more because it just cracks me up every time. I think this is actually how our government works. So I'm very intrigued by that. And then the last one that I really liked that is coming up with the season two now, so you should catch up on season one, is Last One of Us. If you don't like zombie movies or zombie shows, don't watch it. But if zombie and apocalypse is your cup of tea, Last One of Us is so good. Or
Speaker 2
is it Last of Us or Last One of Us? Last of us is
Speaker 1
it last of us let's
Speaker 2
i'm googling while we talk last of us i think it's last of yeah the last of us oh last

Speaker 2
i i love it as well great pick okay uh your favorite product you recently discovered that you really like i
Speaker 1
recently discovered that they make heated shoes and that changed my life my feet are always cold and these are boots that actually have heated wires through them and i'm obsessed and
Speaker 2
you're like charging it? Like USB plug-in kind of thing?
Speaker 1
Yeah, I just come in, I plug them in, and then they go outside, and I'm warm, and I think it's magical. I have a jacket, also a heated jacket. Now I have shoes. I just need my gloves, and I'll be all set. I love
Speaker 2
the USB-powered clothing. And we should know, you live not in Silicon Valley. You live on the East Coast, sort of. Central.
Speaker 1
In Central. The coldest it gets is like 30s here, but I'm always cold. So this is just like my love language is something heated that I can sit on. I'm that cat that sits like underneath the light all the time. And then I also just got AirPod Max, my headphones. I couldn't connect them to my computer. Still technical difficulties on that, but I love them. The sound is amazing. That's my new favorite gadget that I'm obsessed about. What
Speaker 2
a cool combination.
