ep71: Spooky Cheeks and Big Reveals
This one starts off exactly how you’d expect... 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.

ep70: Steak Nuggets, One Piece Theories, and Texans Tears 😭🍟🏴☠️🏀
Episode 70 kicks off with the crew mourning Arby’s fall from grace (RIP steak nuggets 🍖), then slides into a marathon of anime talk — One Piece power-ups, Gachakuta’s devilish twists, One Punch Man’s clueless antics, and My Hero Academia finally giving Bakugo his moment. 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. Then it’s all Houston: KD’s monster deal with the Rockets, the fantasy league drama, season predictions (yes, Daniel’s calling a finals run 🏆), and another “Grinding of the Gears” segment fueled by Texans heartbreak and questionable public restroom behavior.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcoooome baaaaaack to the 3rd Coast Podcast! This week’s episode kicks off with fridge confessions and devolves (beautifully) into a deep Luby’s food debate — from broccoli with cheese to buttermilk chess pie. From there, the crew dives into Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl performance, Khalid’s comeback, and the ongoing conversation about identity in entertainment. Then onto the anime block: Gachiakuta recap — “Accelerator episode” vibes, new powers, and a cliffhanger setup. My Hero Academia steals the show — pure emotion and action. Daniel questions Bakugo’s “sparklies”. Consensus: 🔥 episode, 10/10 energy. Mentions of Togen Anki, Suits, Solo Leveling, and One Punch Man (with full-on geek excitement). Then the crew touches Alien: Earth, Peacemaker finale, and Houston sports — Rockets and Texans both getting love. All this and much more,available now. 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS/GUESTS!

Welcome back to the 3rd! The Crew was in rare form with this one—fantasy league bragging, Texans heartbreak, and somehow that turned into if everything in music has already been played, Jimmy Kimmel getting suspended from his show....and Newton's Law? Then the tv switch flipped. One Piece showed up looking like a living acid trip and we loved every second, while Kaiju No. 8 stomped in like it owned the place. Peacemaker got its flowers, Cleveland Show slander got heated, and a couple of side conspiracies probably got born before the outro.

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.

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.

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.

We kick things off with some takes on Carter 6 before sliding into what everyone’s been watching lately—Tires, Severance, and Seth Rogen’s The Studio. From there, we get into the new Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye and Ballerina movies—which may or may not be worth the hype. Then things start to spiral: Timbaland just signed an AI artist named “Ta-Ta” (yes, really), we catch up on the latest twists in the Diddy case after Jane Doe’s testimony, and react to Xbox’s rumored handheld while a few more Marvel games pop up on the radar. We wrap it up with a listener-submitted showdown: Iceman vs. Human Torch. Who’s really built like that? All that and more in this week’s episode. Tap in. 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS! Got a wild story?

It’s that time again! In this week’s episode of The 3rd Coast Podcast, things kick off with a wild update on the Diddy trial, now spiraling even further as Cassie takes the stand. Ray steps in with a very necessary PSA… for the weirdos. 🫣 Then it’s off to the anime zone: Around 17:00, we dive into My Hero Academia: You’re Next and discuss the delicate balance between anime action vs exposition. At 21:25, Daniel poses the legendary question: Which fantasy world would you actually want to attend school in? Spoiler: total chaos and questionable choices ensue. 🎓🧙🏾♂️ And at 36:00, Ryan has thoughts on Luffy’s Gear 5 in One Piece, and whether the world (or just him) is handling the translation well. Plus a hilarious moment of confusion about what makes an episode “exciting” 😂 Of course, we wrap with our fan-favorite segment: Grinding of the Gears — where petty grievances get aired, and the group lets off steam. 🔧 💬 NOW TAKING SUBMISSIONS!

The 3rd was hungry on this episode — literally and figuratively 😂. There’s a lot of food commentary, but good luck keeping your appetite once we dive into our first wave of reactions to Cassie’s testimony in the Diddy case. We also wrap up Reacher Season 3 and drop our personal rankings, Ray is finally back on the One Piece train, and of course — we’re bringing that signature frustration with this week’s Grinding of the Gears. Come on in while the fire’s hot — this one’s spicy. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @the3rdpod FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @the3rdpod_ FOLLOW US ON TikToc!: @3rd.coast.podcast FOLLOW US ON TWITCH!
