We ran the gamut this week: anime hits and misses, a nostalgic King of the Hill comeback, Peacemaker’s wild moments, the new Rick & Morty voices, fresh Marvel Rivals updates, and a Texans game that tested every fan’s patience. 🎙️

So what got your blood pressure up—anime filler, Batman casting chatter, or that Texans O-line? 🤔

The crew is back and coming in hot—McDonald’s rewards system gets dragged, One Piece recap episodes catch serious heat, and Kaiju No. 8 sparks debate over those new suit powers. We dive into Gachakuda’s gloves mystery, Sakamoto Days’ assassin trials, and preview what’s next for Demon Slayer. On the TV side, Pantheon and Peacemaker stir up laughs, and yes—Daniel still hasn’t caught up.

We also touch on Thugger’s messy revelations, Coco vs. Naomi on the court,  and close it all out with a classic Grinding of the Gears segment—this time featuring busted cars, Pokémon TCG frustrations, the struggle is very real.

Short week, long takes—pull up and join the conversation!

The 3rd Coast crew is back with a Labor Day special featuring the homie 503JayT. Together, they dive into Amanda Seales’ fiery Jubilee appearance: “1 Black Radical vs. 20 Black Conservatives.”

The claims on the table? 1️⃣ Reparations are just and necessary 2️⃣ Black-on-Black crime comes from underfunding and overpolicing 3️⃣ Systemic racism isn’t a theory — it’s lived reality 4️⃣ Black conservatism fails the working class

From moral arguments on reparations, to raw talk about survival mode in Black communities, to whether systemic racism still dictates American life, the pod gets unfiltered, passionate, and layered. The guys also tackle cultural pride, capitalism vs. community, and the line between African-American lineage and immigrant perspectives.

Expect heated debate, sharp insights, and some signature 3rd Coast humor 

Tap in for a conversation that pushes past the surface and asks the harder questions.

This week on 3rd Coast Podcast, the crew dives deep into the world of anime, movies, and Houston nostalgia. From Kaiju No. 8’s explosive reveals and the latest One Piece chaos (giants, Blackbeard Pirates, Sanji’s flex, Zoro debates) to the intensity of Sakamoto Days and Gachi Okuda, the anime world is thriving.

Ray shares first impressions of Pantheon, then reviews the thriller Weapons starring Julia Garner and Benedict Wong, and the guys break down the return of BMF and the brand-new King of the Hill series — updated but still as Texas as propane.

On the hometown side, they mourn the loss of Funplex (another Houston classic gone) and react to Roy Wood Jr. discovering Black Scots. Plus, DC drops big news with a Batman Beyond & Static Shock crossover comic — sparking a debate on whether these icons deserve their own movies or shows.

To top it off, the crew opens packs of Pokémon cards live on the pod, pulling rares and debating TCG Live vs. physical cards. And of course, the episode wraps with Grinding of the Gears — from traffic clowns and train delays to Daniel’s multiple gear malfunctions.

It’s anime, pop culture, and Houston flavor all in one. Tap in!

Marvel Rivals might add studio-made “originals,” and we’re… not exactly aligned. We also think a beloved fast-food staple changed, talk success in comedy, and mentally relive an emotional One Piece episode. All this and loads more; come on in, and welcome back to the 3rd! 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS! Got a wild story? A cursed meme? A burning question?

What's good beautiful people and welcome back to the 3rd! From stripper “asset ratios” to the giants of One Piece, the squad dives deep into anime mid-season updates, Marvel Rivals’ brutal ban system, and catching the Poke-bug. Plus: AI art controversies, high school coming-of-age chaos, and  IT woes. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn you...might even start hyper training your Pokémon.

On this week’s drop of The 3rd, the crew dives right into where Marvel stands and how much ground they need to cover to make the next phase great again. Following that, we somehow wax nostalgic about Batman Beyond, talks anime turn-ups (Gachakuda, Kaiju No. 8, and One Piece heat), and a rapid fire of bite-sized relevant news. We also clown a Reddit story about faking a British accent for 12 years — because wow. Sprinkle in some sneaker talk, Brent Faiyaz appreciation (for some of us), and Marvel Rivals rage, and you got yourself a banger. Tap in.

This week, we’re stirring the pot with a wild lineup: We kick things off breaking down Trump and Epstein rumors that just won't die, then slide straight into GloRilla’s surprise arrest and what it means for her rise. From there, it’s time to nerd out — we give our take on the Fantastic Four reboot (yes, again) and hit you with some anime updates you didn’t know you needed.

Come for the conspiracy, stay for the chaos — it’s Thursday, and you already know we had stuff to say.

This week on 3rd Coast, the squad dives straight into the culture clash of the moment: Angel Reese vs. RG3. We unpack it all — the subtext, the sass, and the state of sports media.

Then it’s time for an anime gauntlet, where we run through what’s heating up the screen right now. Expect opinions and a few hot recommendations.

Also... Prison Break. Why is it back in our lives? Did it ever leave? We reflect on the show's legacy, absurdity, and exactly how many times one man can break out of prison before HR gets involved.

And yes, we’re catching ‘em all again — Daniel has disovered TCG Live and would like to speak his case to get the others to join (come on guys, it's FREE!!!!) 

Laughs, wild theories, and Houston heat as always. Tap in.
