The tricep touting trio are joined by a real life Super Saiyan who has made it his life mission to defy gravity (much like Goku himself in the Jinkō Jūryoku Sōchi). After getting to know Dapo a little more intimately, understanding his monumental strength and unearthing his guilty pleasures, the boys have a quick seasonal run through. Kwibs is bitterly disappointed after finding out Dapo is an ENTIRE season behind on Food Wars (not tat he was a aware) so had nobody to shill it with whereas Nate and Max got to sing Rent-a-Girlfriend's praises as always! Shingeki no Kyojin has been the talk of the town in the world of anime for months now and this podcast is no exception. As the release date of the final season is fast approaching, the barbell boys discuss their favourite moments of the series so far as well as explaining why this anime is such a masterpiece! Last but not least, Max brings up what's been in the news this week; previews include the new rule of 6 and will E.T ever phone home?! Find out this week on DRAGON...BALL...Z!

The 3 ripped rascals start this episode by discussing how the public view the classic beach body when compared with a much larger and more extreme physique. Do people's views change over time and what even is 'normal'? Up next, seasonal reviews and ONCE AGAIN Rent-a-Girlfriend is causing very emotional responses, plus some surprising talk about the possibility of another webtoon being a disappointment. After that, the boys explain how they rate anime and whether or not rating shows is even the best way to compare them. Finally, in the news this week, Djokovic gets disqualified from the U.S open but was it his 'fault'...

This episode starts off on a heavier note as the guys discuss the tragic passing of an on and off screen hero, Chadwick Boseman, to whom they dedicated the episode. After that, the tonk trio show off their nerdiness by recapping the most heated rivalries from the last 25 years; prepare for a crash course in bodybuilding history. There are a few disagreements so you might have to take sides with your favourite host! Next up, recaps galore as we've now added Rent-a-Girlfriend into our weekly review to make a total of 4 anime but let's be honest though, Rent-a-Girlfriend steals the show! All the shows are really hitting their stride at the moment so the guys are spoilt for choice as to what to talk about but wait for the bunny chat. The last topic of the week sees the boys discuss old school anime and cartoons and how they would stack up today and if they'd even be appropriate. How did some of these shows even make it to air!? A quick round up of the news this week and good God, the hybrid bears may be a genuine threat to society...

If you're planning on listening to this episode in one go you may need to think again because this one is almost as Wham as the Weebs! Firstly, the hefty hosts take a trip down memory and give their insights on how extreme dieting can effect your mental state, not only during but after the diet, along with tips on how to overcome such problems. Our seasonal reviews bring out some interesting thoughts on how our expectations could sully the experience when finally watching an eagerly anticipated show. Lastly, some trash talk on live action adaptations which were, quite frankly, a waste of time and suggest anime that could do well as live action IF the budgets were big enough. The big boys also introduced a weekly news segment, bringing you the most irrelevant and interesting stories of the week. Enjoy!
