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.

All this and more, on the 3rd

The crew reacts to Sauce Walka’s reply to Mexican OT’s n-word usage, breaks down The Long Walk trailer, and Ryan gives a front-row seat run down to what anime drops you should keep on your radar.

Daniel caught up on Fire Force just in time for us to go all in — full breakdowns, thoughts, and theories up to the Season 3 break. We also hit up the One Piece hype train, but Daniel’s still not satisfied?! Treasonous takes ahead. 💀

Then it’s SPOILER SEASON: We speedran all of Squidgame Season 3’s deadly games to deliver a full review — what we loved, what we hated, and what we’d do differently to survive.

We wrap with early thoughts on Ironheart ep1-3 and another wild Grinding of the Gears segment. Strap in.

We’re back with another wild one on 3rd Coast — and this week’s got range. Ray and Ryan recap their food-filled trip to Pappasito’s, Daniel survived his first day of boxing (barely), the U.S. just bombed Iran, and B. Simone… is suddenly broke? Miss “No 9-to-5 men” is in the struggle — and we have thoughts.

That's not even getting into the shows, starting with Onepiece ep.1132 and talking most tragic Onepiece backstories. We follow that up with Ray's report on Power, and closing thoughts on season 2 of Severance.

ROCKETS FANS.....Kevin Durant is here. We discuss how we feel about it, what it means for the squad, and whether it’s too little too late.

Tap in — this one’s loaded.

The crew is back with an episode full of music, madness, and mayhem (as always). 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.

On this episode of The 3rd Coast Podcast, the crew checks in and shares what they’ve been watching—or at least planning to watch 👀. We dive deep into Marvel Rivals, breaking down the current season and the aftermath of Ultron’s release. Ray and Daniel reflect on a recent live gig and how their musical journeys continue to evolve.

Daniel tried to hit up DreamCon 2025… key word: tried. That flop sparks a hilarious convo about cosplay plans for DreamCon 2026. Plus, you know we’ve got the usual Grinding of the Gears and other wild takes you won’t want to miss.

Hit play, laugh with us, and don’t forget to follow for more episodes on anime, games, music, culture, and all things Houston.

The Crew celebrates 50 episodes and their consistency over the last year. Who would have thought getting hye for the Kendrick/Drake beef would take us this far. We start off with our takes on Onepiece episode 1130 then go into our predictions for Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 update and the release of Ultron. Then we have a few sports updates and the grinding of those gears, check it out and thanks for listening!

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. 🔧
