Mixed Bag of Holding: Jake Watches Dragon Ball Z

Ticks can go

They honestly should have Jake watch some of the Frieza Saga, or the Cell Saga. That was the golden age of DBZ imo.

I know the most evil bug wasps pollinate

Unfortunately both hornets and wasps are pollinators. Additionally, most wasp species are as non-confrontational as bees despite a few agro outliers giving them a bad rep. Even mosquitoes are pollinators 😔

The thing to remember about dbz, especially flashback stuff, is that dragon ball originally was a gag manga themed after martial arts, not a slightly comedic battle manga. Which is why goku's backstory is goofy

Emily you dont like Kakashi Sensei’s English voice is that a popular take

“Dragons and Balls” made me WHEEZE

It Would be fun to see them watch the abridged series

Wait till Jake see's the cell arc where Gohan is an absolute badass

Wasps are assholes that is their default and only setting Hornets can be but usually need a reason to flip that setting

😆 the “daddy”s make me feel bad for Murph having to edit this one

I'm pretty sure the frieza fight takes like 19 episodes in the original release.

a year late but emily is right hornets are also pollinators! :D. tbh i notice alot of ppl thinking bees are the only pollinators they are not. and alot of the times in the case of honey bees are invasive species :) tho its been awhile since i researched it

These guys know about Dragonball Z abridged right?

Just listening now also, as far as dubs v subs, I remember being in highschool watching an evangelion movie subs while doing acid and it was a wild experience. Dubs would have been a buzz kill to listen to 5 Gohan's cry. Such a wild show thematically. Totes agree that being to read with the foreign emotes behind it makes it so much better

I’m just now listening to this cause I’m new to patreon (great bday gift haha) and I just soooo want them to have Jake watch Naruto! Especially like the Lee/Garra fight!

If you're looking for an anime Jake might like, try Kengan Ashura. Various jacked guys fighting in various styles with tight pacing. Plus there's an awesome pro wrestler!

Caldwell brought up how many of the voices sound similar.... check out Christopher Sabat, who voices Vegeta and Raditz AND Piccolo (& many others). He’s EVERYWHERE!

please I feel like he would love that

Show him Cowboy Bebop next.

how long are you guys going to be doing this rotating hero's thing I don't want to have to pay for a whole another podcast and I'm already spending 10 bucks a month with you guys.

Not sure if anyone's shared this, but if the crew is looking for another mixed-bag quiz episode (where there is ZERO chance of anyone getting the same character) I highly recommend: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/

This is gonna be my lullaby tonight🙌🏾

Next you got to watch dragon Ball z abridged I would love to see your guys reaction to that if you guys haven't seen it before.

Best 2 current animes y'all could watch for mix bag are Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen. Jake seems like he would like Bleach and Yu Yu Hakusho, maybe Inuyasha. Then swing back and hit up Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Nothing will ever be more satisfying to me than Murph saying "How dare you."

Please don't have Jake watch Naruto, it's so slowwww. Y'all should watch Hunter x Hunter

Have Jake watch the Broly movie. He'll be confused but it's awesome.

These guys need to watch the Goku and Piccolo getting their drivers license. Thats some nice filler

What a fantastic ending haha Also +1 for watching Naruto next!

I want to hear Jake’s reaction to the Naruto chunin exams so much now

Lmao y'all are way kinder than I am. I recently got my boyfriend to watch the first season of DBZ with me because he had never seen any of it, and I made him watch the original uncut one. Compete with random dinosaur chases and so much DADDY DADDY DADDYYYYY

Jake - and company - should check out Megalo Box! It's just one season and super digestible.

I looked it up, hornets do be pollinating

Not that more anime isn’t a fantastic option, but last weekend my brother and I watched The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and it was so 90’s action movie that I just know the gang would have a lot to say, if they needed an alt option for a mixed bag

A mixed bag of the first 3-4 episodes of one piece, I don’t think any of them have mentioned watching it before. I think Jake would be a huge Zoro fan

Y'all crying daddy just makes me uncomfortable 😐

Be careful with hornets Jake. If they go on the offense, they call their brethren to attack you also!

That outro is the stuff of nightmares

Show Jake the TFS version instead!

Hornets are 100% not pollinators. They are 100% jerks, though.

Its been said but guys TFS: DBZ abridged is your absolute best choices

you guys should show him the first few eps of Super! Gohan's not as awful

I need more of this!!!

I've never cackled so hard at an outro

god it is so good to have caldwell back, this is that 8BBC energy i've been craving

The ending of this episode had me dying laughing in the middle of the gym 🤣

My husband has blonde hair and a red beard, so it's not that weird lol

Dragonball z abridged literally fixes all of these issues 🤣

Hornets kill spiders!!!

100% Goku killed Grandpa Gohan. It was during his first transformation into the mega monkey and he crushed his grandpa. Goku is unaware it was himself and when he sees Vegeta in the later episodes turn into the monkey, his anger is greater as he now believes it was Vegeta that killed his dad! this is based off memory for 20ish years ago...

I grew up in the south, and confirm hornets and wasps are both assholes.

Hey Crew Naruto for the next one ain't a bad idea but since you all talked about DB originating a lot of these tropes do you think the next one could be a recent show to show Jake how far action anime has come? Demon Slayer and Attack on Titan do this great and are award winning beginner anime.

As a Gohan stan this was a tough listen (though I can fully admit that early Gohan was pretty annoying)

As a kid I bought the actual Dragon Ball mangas, and honestly I always preferred to Z. It was fun and witty and carefree, and Goku wasn't always fucking dead. By the way the reason Goku was originally half monkey is that the original arc of Dragon Ball was a silly remake of Journey to the West.

Christopher Sabbat is the voice of Piccolo! He's so good lol

I started on the buu saga and never went back because, I don’t need too. I do watch Broly whenever they create a movie for him

No, Murph! Do not let Emily gaslight you! Hornets are murderous stripey bastards, and whatever pollination they do isn't worth the violence they visit upon our fuzzy little buzzy buddies, the bees! You stay strong in the face of these pinko bleeding hearts who are soft on bug crime! 🐝 💪

Have you ever thought of doing this with a newer show. I could see one like Overlord going over well.

Based on the title of the show I honestly went into this thinking it was about dragons playing some kind of sport. I couldn't really understand much that was said about the show but it's clearly not that which was a bit disappointing lol.

This is amazing !!!!!!

I will literally up my tier to the next paywall if you guys do a naruto mixed bag 😁

Now Emily’s gotta watch Toy Story

my gf loves the dragon ball series, so i thought it'd be fun to listen together; the whole time she was correcting the lore, and when we got to, "i know there's people at home screaming" i rewound it and made her listen to it again. edit: i realize this sounded like i was just bullying my gf lmao BUT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY ;_;

I think Jake would like Yu Yu Hakusho

Thank you so much for doing this! Also yeah DBZ back in the 90's was great, I tried rewatching it a year or so ago and it is insane how drawn out everything is.

Making Jake watch the new Broly movie would be awesome.

A lot of hornets/wasps have plant based diets after reaching adulthood, but still have to provide meat for their strictly carnivorous larvae

yeah Gohan is pretty annoying until Piccolo leaves him in the desert to fend for himself.

So can next Christmas be a Dragon Ball Z campaign special, since Murph feels they have mined Donkey Kong for all it's worth. The 3 characters hunting for the dragon balls with Oolong or Master Roshi or someone, boefore summoning Shenron to make a wish for Christmas at the end could be fun.

Naruto should be the next anime series

Having never watched dragon ball z or knowing anything about it other than it's a thing everything they were talking about for the plot sounds absolutely bonkers.... And yet I sat there listening to y'all talk about it

As someone who just watched all of DBZ Kai and Dragon Ball Super I’m very excited about this.

You can always make Jake watch one of the DBZ movies or even the DBZ Abridged series

Naruto next would be a good one, I also think the first 5 eps of Attack on Titan would be really good to get someone hooked

I'm so hype for this

Can we have the crew watch Dragon Ball Evolution?

Jake is the GOAT for "Ball-Tinted Glasses" lol Also Emily's Guy Fieri PC is obviously named Andrew Fuckerman

Also please have jake watch at least the rock lee vs gaara fight

Hornets and wasps are pollinators! They’re dicks, but they also help pollinate, though to a lesser degree than bees

don’t let this episode distract you from the fact that emily thinks ROCK LEE is a cooler character than SASUKE

You gotta watch dragon ball super the graphics are even better

IMPOSSIBLE!

I know it's early, but I gotta say it now... Campaign 3 Oppa Naruto Style

Holy s***! It's here! It's finally here!

Dragon Ball is sooo long (like most anime’s) but its a better show objectively. Actually story driven, like a children’s adventure show with a new story every episode!

I saw the title and I almost lost it

This has to be it

Gohan in Kai is wayyyy worse than in the full english version, the voice actor is sooo much more annoying. Voice acting in general is way worse. Also agree with Emily, the normal version (English and Japanese) is wayyy better than Kai.

He needs to watch FMA brotherhood next first 4 episodes 😈😈😈

This ep is over 9000!

Bout time my man! I Been watching DBZ since ’95. So good, so freak bad. But unable to stop watching! Welcome to the Z-Crew Jake 🤣

This is what I didn’t know I needed in my life😂

That's what's up Jake!

No more making fun of Jake 😂

Beautiful

IT HAPPENED IT HAPPENED IT HAPP-

oh shit

Holy shit it's happening!!
