ep80: Buzzer Beater
We come out the gate doing what we do best: absolutely not staying on topic. A simple conversation about water somehow turns into Daniel confessing his undying childhood love for milk (yes… milk had a run). From there, we dive headfirst into “Conformity Gate” — the viral Stranger Things theory that had hundreds of thousands of fans convinced a surprise episode was dropping January 7th. Turns out the real villain was the Instagram algorithm. Ray and Ryan got cooked by an old post that just decided to hit timelines this week. With expectations reset, we give our final thoughts on Stranger Things Season 5 — how the last episode landed, whether the series stuck the landing, and how we feel saying goodbye to Hawkins for good. Ryan then puts us onto a stack of shows worth your watchlist: The Ronin Warriors sequel Sentenced to Be a Hero (yes, that trailer we’ve been waiting years for) The Darwin Project Foundation See And we officially band together to close out Season 1 of Banshee From entertainment to real life, we shift into current events — breaking down Trump moving marijuana to Schedule III and the growing conversation around Venezuela, oil, and global occupation. We wrap it all up the only way we know how: Grinding of the Gears, because somebody’s gotta get these takes off. 🎙️ Fresh episodes drop every Thursday.

ep79: Welcome to 2026!!!!
The crew rings in the New Year the only way they know how: deep nerd debates, Houston energy, and conversations that spiral beautifully out of control. The episode kicks off with a surprisingly calm reset—better sleep, less screen time, and rediscovering the joy of reading—before diving headfirst into Neal Shusterman’s Scythe, a dystopian series where death is government-assigned, “killing” is politely called gleaning, and morality is very much up for debate. From there, nostalgia hits hard as the guys unpack why books like Harry Potter still hit deeper than their movie counterparts, and why the upcoming HBO reboot might finally do the source material justice. Things turn up once Stranger Things enters the chat. The crew dissects the final season vibes, questionable emotional timing, Vecna’s manipulation tactics, Callie’s suspicious abilities, Will’s arc, and bold predictions about who’s not making it out alive. Expect hot takes, side-eye, and zero fear of spoilers. From there, the episode bounces effortlessly between Lego investing, Gundams, Bionicles, and childhood builds, before pivoting into current watches like Fallout, House of the Dragon / House of Ashur, Korean action series Cash Hero, and why anime-inspired live-action can work when done right. Gaming gets real with passionate breakdowns of Ark Raiders (high-risk extraction chaos), nostalgic love for Legend of Dragoon, Warzone strategy debates, and why losing your loot hurts more as an adult. Houston sports get their shine with Texans playoff positioning, Rockets defensive growth, and cautious optimism all around. The back half of the episode leans into classic 3rd Coast chaos: barbers charging $100 “for the experience,” mall nostalgia, cookie power rankings (Crumbl slander included), canceled gigs, New Year reflections, and one of the wildest off-the-cuff discussions you’ll ever hear about whether dogs have wrists or ankles. It’s funny, it’s thoughtful, it’s very Houston—and it’s the perfect way to close the year and step into the new.

ep78: Seasonal Cheer, Zero Agreement
Episode 77 of 3rd Coast Podcast is the Christmas episode—and naturally, it turns into chaos. We spend a big chunk of the episode breaking down One Piece, diving headfirst into Joy Boy theories, time travel implications, silhouettes, Haki logic, and whether certain assumptions fans are making actually hold up. What starts as a theory discussion slowly turns into a full debate, with nobody fully backing down and the holiday spirit hanging on by a thread. We also talk about the ending of My Hero Academia, reflecting on how it wrapped up, what worked, what didn’t, and how it feels to finally say goodbye to a series that’s been part of the culture for so long. There’s a quick check-in on Stranger Things, including confusion around its villains and where the story hierarchy actually sits. We also touch on the new Dave Chappelle special and give our initial thoughts on Banshee Later, we hit highlights from The Game Awards, including standout announcements and why certain concepts—like music-driven gameplay—feel underused despite their obvious potential. We also touch on the Houston Texans and how things are shaping up as the season tightens. The episode wraps with a holiday-flavored Grinding of the Gears, covering pay schedules that make no sense and words people confidently use incorrectly… repeatedly. Festive? Technically. Calm? Absolutely not. New episodes every Thursday — pull up, laugh with us, yell at us, argue with your screen… whatever works. 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS/GUESTS! Got a wild story? A cursed meme?

This week on The 3rd, the anime gloves come OFF. We break down the latest One Piece episode and immediately spiral into Joy Boy theories, time travel arguments, Haki bombs, silhouettes, and whether Luffy is secretly doing multiverse laps. Spoiler: feelings were hurt. We also talk the end of My Hero Academia (yes, tears were shed… by some of us), check in on Stranger Things and its questionable hair decisions, and recap highlights from The Game Awards On top of that: • Houston Texans playoff push 👀 • New games we’re hyped for • A fresh “Grinding of the Gears” about pay schedules and words people absolutely misuse Anime-heavy.

ep74: Quarter Zip
Third Coast is BACK after a sick week, and the crew had A LOT to get off their chest. We kick things off watching the Rockets game live and somehow end up debating quarter-zip culture, Nike Tech economics, and why America refuses to make affordable winter clothes anymore. Then we jump into a STACKED anime lineup: One Piece, Gachiakuta, My Hero Academia, Kingdom — and the fellas go deep on storylines, theories, and whether certain episodes are carrying or just coasting. We slide into gaming talk: Rivals (Gambit dropped!), 2K trauma, Call of Duty temptation, Pokémon card chaos, D&D adventures, and why GameStop is apparently running a legal hustle. And of course… Sports talk gets real. Shadour Sanders’ first start, Stefanski’s weird behavior, national media hating for no reason, Rockets hoops, Texans hype — all of it gets broken down. We wrap up with a classic “What Grinds My Gears”: Sony headset disrespect… cars dying at the worst possible moment… and holiday food talk to cool the mood. Another chaotic, hilarious, and very Third Coast episode. Tap in. 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS/GUESTS! Got a wild story? A cursed meme? A burning question?

From Daniel’s car repair saga to Ray’s anime sermons and Ryan’s sports rants, the 3rd Coast boys are back doing what they do best: turning random conversations into gold. We talk Halloween gigs with questionable dress codes (“all black luxury designer… yeah, Nike counts”), the wildest One Piece reveal yet, and why Bakugo might’ve just had his moment of the year. The NBA gambling scandal somehow sneaks in between Pokémon Center meltdowns and anime debates, and of course, we wrap it all up with a good ol’ “Grinding of the Gears.” If you’re here for Houston talk, anime heat, or just three dudes talking slick about everything from Vegapunk’s brain to Chauncey Billups’ poker hustle—this one’s for you.

The boys also review Splinter Cell’s Netflix debut, break down Alien: Earth’s corporate-war-meets-AI chaos, and talk upcoming releases like Daredevil: Born Again and Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

ep62: Meat and Feet!
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.

ep59: Robert Downey Doom
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. 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS! Got a wild story? A cursed meme?

ep 58: Trump, GloRilla & the Fantastic 404
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!!!!)

ep55: Distorted Future
Welcome back to the 3rd!!! From One Piece ep1110’s brain-melting “Distorted Future” to a Jurassic Park take that could end friendships — the 3rd Coast crew is back in full effect this week. Daniel straight-up glitches out over One Piece (3:00), and Ryan gives a clean breakdown of some of the hottest summer anime picks you need to watch before the fall wave hits (10:13). Then we get into Kaiju No. 8's "1st episode" for Season 2 The Superman reboot gets some hype, but the real clash? Brave New World vs. Thunderbolts. Ray says Brave New World was mid, but Daniel’s calling it better than Thunderbolts with his chest. The MCU discourse gets heated. Somewhere in the chaos, Daniel survives his first sparring match (barely), and may already have a challenger lined up. We also break down the weird side effects of adrenaline that nobody warned him about. we hit the latest in the Diddy case, shout out Kelz Kreative Kitchen, and get deep into Marvel Rivals ahead of the new season. Also? We’re obsessed with Pokémon TCG on mobile. Virtual binders are STACKED. Grinding of the Gears wraps it all up, with some petty takes, some justified rage, and more laughs than we deserve.
