- What's up friends and Chris, welcome back to another episode of the Trash Taste Podcast. I'm the boy and I'm with the boys and Chris. - And what is going on with your head, Chris? - Well, I won worst drip, right? - Laziest drip. - Laziest drip. - Whatever it is. When I won that, I thought it's something to do with coffee, right? Like, 'cause I use an espresso machine, I thought I'm laziest drip coffee.
So I was like, oh, that's bad, but it's not too bad. Then I discovered it was about clothes. And you know, I'm like the king of fashion. - So you won lazy's drip and you somehow came with even worse drip. - Why the hat? - That's what I wanna know. - This is the standard of drip. - You look like you just walked out from the 90s. - Wait, what does this hat say? - It says jumping, jumping, pounding the rock.
- What does that mean? - Things I stand for. But I wanna win best drip, whatever it's called, next year. And this is the first step to making that happen. - People probably clicked on this video on the thumbnail of like this, Chris. And they're probably like, "What happened to Chris?" - It's a new Chris for a new year. But where are we? What is this place? - Oh yeah. So you're the first guest.
for the new studio how do you find it you guys used to record in a broom cupboard a well decorated broom cupboard but a broom cupboard nonetheless it was kind of it was nice but this is like what can only be described as a Bonds Villains lair I've got
I got to the building outside and it's all tinted windows. Security team had to get past to get in. And I was like, what is this? You came with the Uber driver or the Uber Eats driver, right? The only way I got into this building, nobody told me the code or anything. And there was an Uber guy who was equally confused. We sort of made a team effort. He got me through the first door, the security door. And then I got him through this door. Sort of a team tag...
- Team effort to get in this ridiculous building. It is massive. We could have a game of cricket in here. - What? - What? - The most British thing you've ever said, eh? - It is cool. It is quite cool. I feel really out of my depth now. - But yeah, we got Chris back for the third time. - He wanted to assert dominance as soon as he found out that we got a new studio. - So Chris is like the first guest we've ever had on the show. - Literally the second episode on the new-
- In a new studio, right? - Yeah, the second episode of this weekend. - But Chris was not only our first guest ever, but he was the first guest of this year and now he's the first guest of the new studio. Just knocking out all the firsts. - And I won the best guest and the best drip or the worst drip. - Yeah, congratulations about that. We do have something for you. - That's the reason I'm here. - He's here to become his lord. - I'm coming to look enviously at your massive studio space 'cause I record in a wardrobe. Like I brought my pants in a wardrobe and like,
I come here to get an award, a physical, tangible, monetary award. - Monetary? - Monetary. - Something that is worth a million. - Let's go. - Go on, go on, Ashley. - Ashley's got it. - Is Ashley an award? Is Ashley an award? - Yeah, I knew that this was what we had to get you. - Before you open it, do you wanna give a speech or something? - Yeah, a little acceptance. - Yeah, go on. - A little acceptance speech. - To everyone that voted me for the best guest, thank you. You are my favorite. To everyone that voted worst trip, I hate you.
You're wrong And I'm going to prove you wrong In the next year But This is a guess This is an award That all three of us Are like Why are you laughing? It's an award It's an award It looks like a bomb in there The tape The tape doesn't help Open your prize up It looks like One of those special bombs That only kills the person Who's holding it
- How did you know about this? - Israeli kind of- - We thought this would be perfect for you. - It's even better than a bomb, Chris. - Yeah, when we thought about a wall, I was like, guys, I know exactly what we need to get, Chris. - Is it actually good? - Yeah, I love it. I think it's the best thing ever. - It's brilliant. - Just rip it open. - I'm doing it Japanese style. - No, fucking rip it. - Just rip it open. - There you go. - In Japan, they're kind of very intricate, aren't they? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Hold it to the camera first.
- Holds the camera first. - So it's some sort of image. Is it the right way? - Somehow we got it the right way first. - Everyone is laughing. Everyone behind the camera. - And ready, three, two, one. - You will forever have that immortalized now. - Who drew this?
- I'm coming for you. - Who did this? - I'm gonna use the full force of the abroad and Japan media empire to find the person that drew this and bring them to justice. - What is it? - This is like a manga. - Yeah, it's a webtoon. - So this is a webtoon that one of our fans is making about trash taste. - He's characterized all of us and I gotta say, I mean like. - I look like a fucking balloon. What is that?
I saw this on Twitter I was like oh Chris you're in the Trash Taste fan I was like that's great I'm in a manga and I clicked through and it was this and I was like which one am I am I oh I'm the fat one
- I remember the message you gave me too, because he sent me a screenshot of this and after it, it just said, "You fucking won." I mean, like, it does look like me if we remove the lower half. - I think it looks shockingly like you. - I did ask when we got this frame out, like, can we get a Kim Jong-un sized picture? - Yeah, like massive one that you can like put on the wall and we pray to every morning. - Take it out on the bullet train back to send it.
- This character, it's not even called like Chris or a broad, it's just called- - Fat mouth. - Big mouth. - I think it's shocking. - I think in the webtoon, we all have like special powers that are kind of synonymous to our personalities.
I really hope this character has redemption art where he gets thin he saves the world he gets the girl because that's just an atrocity but it does look cool and I do like it I'll put that in a very special place in my apartment it's better be on the set is it gonna go yeah this better be on the set yeah
I'll think about it. Thank you. It's the thought that counts. Someone put a lot of effort into that. Exactly. I mean, it's a fitting prize. Yeah. Is it? I thought it'd be like a gold bar or something. Why would we give you a gold bar? This is trash taste. Something I could sell off when my channel goes down the toilet. I could be like, oh, I've got the trash taste prize. I can sell that off. That's like worth nothing. But it is worth it.
- It's good I think. - How dare you? - Thank you very much. - We put a lot of love and effort into this. - Absolutely. - This can live on the table for this episode. - Yeah, for this episode. - Fantastic. - Is there more anger of this coming out? - I think so. - This was two or three months ago. - I think the guy is making a new chapter every week or two weeks. - Redemption arc. - Something like that. - Don't give him a redemption arc. - It takes time to draw things, Chris. - Especially when they're that fucking long.
That's like 70% of the image, it's just me. - It's great you're like the center of attention, right? - Exactly, you're right in the middle. You're pushing away your competition. - Redemption arc and I'll be very happy. - Next one just has to be like this, but with this hat on him. - Fat mouth, brilliant. - Fat mouth with a cap.
- Yeah, is that hat something you normally wear, Chris? Or is it something you just wear? - I've never seen you wear a hat. - I've got a collection of 100 yen hats. This was 100 yen, right? 'Cause in Japan you get a lot of like hats that just cost 100 yen. - I can't do the rock. - Shut up. They got some like really obscure English ones. This is actually like a basketball saying, right? - Is it? - You know, putting the ball through the hoop.
- Probably, maybe. - But only one of my friends knew that and he's like a top basketball guy. - It just sounds like you wanna have sex with Dwayne The Rock Johnson. - It does a bit. - It does a bit, but like out of context, it's just so bizarre. So I have a collection of these sort of tacky hats at my apartment. And now I'm actually wearing them. - You have a collection of tacky hats and you're like, how dare you give me lazy strip. - Let me wear this tacky hat. - Let me wear this 100 year hat. - Just give off like very much dad energy. I'm pretty sure my dad has worn the same hat before.
I don't know how I feel about that. I'll take it. I like the hat. Let's get best drip. What is it? Sounds like a man going through a midlife crisis. Where does the word drip come from in that context? I don't know.
- I don't know. - I actually don't know. - It became a meme and like, I didn't know what it meant initially, but I don't know. It's a word where you hear it once and you hear the word drip. And for some reason for me, it just made sense. - Like bussing. - Bussing doesn't make sense to me. - You know bussing, right? - Bussing. - Damn, that shit's bussing. - Yeah. - What is this? I feel really old now.
- Like when something's just great. - So when something's really good, you go damn, that's Boston's best. - I still get uncomfortable when people use the word sick. - Oh, it's sick. - I use the word sick. - You just insulted all of Australia. - I've got quite a visual sort of imagery. When I hear a word, I picture it. Every time I hear that's sick, I picture someone literally being sick all over the table. That's not sick. That's horrible. I know I'm older than you. - Same age as Garnt. - Yeah, same age as me. - But Garnt's youthful.
- You look like you're in your twenties. I look like I'm in like 47 or something. - Especially with the hat. - Especially with the hat. This is like my bridge to the youth. - No, what we need to get you is a skateboard. Have you seen that Steve Buscemi image? - Hello fellow children. - It's all part of my plan. Connect with the youth, get the demographic bigger. - He's trying to sneak into a high school. - Yeah, right. - Hello fellow kids. - Oh my God.
So what's the plan for today? Usually when I come here We don't do that here We just chat shit like usual right? Excellent What have you been up to Chris? Yeah what have you been up to? Why are you in Tokyo again?
What have I been doing? I've filmed a building. That's about it. A single building? Well, I came down here to win my award and I was starting to worry that that was money not well spent. I literally spent like a hundred bucks to come down here. It's like a four hour round trip to get here. And that's just to be insulted on the world's biggest podcast. Brilliant.
- Was it worth it? - A lot of people would die for that experience. - You guys did a journey across Japan. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's been good. We got like a top 15 iTunes hit. - I can't fucking believe that.
- I don't know how that happened. - I spent so much of my time like just off camera, you know, making my own music and putting my heart and soul into it. And the most successful piece of music I've ever written, I wrote in seven hours in a car. - The world is often a cruel place, Jay. - I know. You know what, I'll take the award, it's all right. - Yeah, so like for those who aren't in the know, what's the story behind that?
We had a challenge where we had to do like a rap song. So on Journey Across Japan, this travel series, we get a challenge every day and the challenge was produce a rap song in a day. And we found ourselves on Volcano and that became... We had to rap about our day, right? Yeah. And we were on the top of Japan's biggest volcano, Mount Aso.
And that became it. And Natsuki said something like, whoa, too much volcano. I'm like, yeah, it is, isn't it? That's the rap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say that over and over again. Say that. I very cleverly didn't put myself in the rap for the video. So that's good. It's you and Natsuki that took the credit. But yeah, it turned out really well. Yeah. And then we just shout. I put it on iTunes, right? It costs like $19 to put a song on iTunes. Yeah. And it takes like a few weeks. It's very simple. But after I did that, I shouted it out. And...
it started to go up. Someone sent me a link saying, "Are you in the top 25 alternative songs on iTunes?" I was like, "Alternative songs?" - Like for that week, right? So it's like, oh, okay, you know, it's probably 'cause of the initial push onto it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But then it just kept going. It just kept climbing. - Yeah, once I shouted out that we're on iTunes, it created this sort of self-propelling cycle. People funded it more, bought it more, and it went up and up until it got to, I think, number 14 on the iTunes singles chart worldwide. - These poor people who bought this.
It's terrible. It is boringly catchy. It is quite addictive. The song hook with Latsky and the Too Much Volcano. Yeah, the ASO, Too Much Volcano. It works. It works. But yeah. So I don't know how much it sold.
I don't know either. I'm still waiting for my royalties, to be honest. Well, yeah. I wasn't going to split with that skin, Joey, because I thought it would be like make $100. I'll use that to buy coffee or a new hat. Ten hats. That's like a thousand hats. That's a thousand hats. Damn. That's a thousand hats. The drip game. But because probably around 10,000 people bought it.
That's a bit more money. - That's ridiculous. - And it makes sense to split that with the Onatsuki, I think. - Pocket it. - I'll just lie about it. Oh, I only sold 100 copies. - You're mirroring the music industry where the guy behind it takes all the money. - The producer takes all the money. - I'm that guy. But yeah, unfortunately it takes about three months for iTunes to tell you how well it's done.
So one day in September I'll be like sitting in a room depressed and then I'll get like a little letter from iTunes like by the way you've got platinum. Wow platinum I don't know what that is but it's good. So we'll see. It's going on LinkedIn. It's going on LinkedIn. Top 14. I think platinum means a million comments. Yeah. Yeah.
Get in there, right? Get in there. When are you quitting YouTube and starting your music career? Do we have permission to play a short clip on the podcast? Copyright strike time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, no, you can't. It's the only song that's not copyright. Use it to your advantage. Put it everywhere. Let's get those sales up. Now we're chilling at the peak of the volcano. It looks kind of bleak, but it's okay though. I'm with the bros, surrounded by the sulfur clouds. So brace yourselves, because it's about to get loud. Ain't...
Too much volcano. No volcano. Can't wait for you to take this episode down and claim all the entire... Yes, I will. Take all the revenue. You used my song and you defamed me. But there you go. It's that easy to get an iTunes hit, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, apparently. If you have influence online, just beg.
- Beg your underlings to go and buy it. - Pretty much. - Put Natsuki in a song and it's guaranteed to get on iTunes. - How was the overall journey of Journey Across Japan? Is it an annual YouTube series at this point? - I don't know, I guess so. - I guess it's annual, yeah. - Did you enjoy it? - Yeah, it was really good. - Has it been doing well? - I wasn't there for the whole time.
I did enjoy it, but like, you know, because I'm always running around filming and producing. So it takes a lot of stress. Because you've got to think every day, how's this going to work? I nearly died on a horse and in a plane. In those videos when you say like, oh, it's one day, is it actually one day? For the most part. Yeah, for the most part it was. Because it's like, I feel like there's way too much stuff. It's extremely hectic. What time are you waking up? Like 6am?
- Some days. - Some days, yeah. - Oh my God. - And we're filming till maybe like 10 or 11 PM. - It's relentless. It's a really crazy- - What's like the crew behind that?
- So it's Joey, myself, Natsuki, and then we had a guy called Norm, Tokyo Lens, and my friend, Ian, he's a producer. And so it kind of works. It's a pretty small team. - Quite small. - That's very small. I mean, we had like that kind of teams for Trash Day Specials and even we are stretched to the absolute limits with what we can do and just seeing some of the stuff you're able to. - It's all honestly like thanks to just like Chris's insane like organizational skills. Like he just has everything being like, all right. - Yeah, we don't have that.
- At next time, we're gonna go here until here and then doing this after this and then, oh, the weather's shit, maybe we should put this in front of this and me and Natsuki just kind of chilling in the back like, "Yeah, all right, yeah, Chris." - I somehow doubt Natsuki's too concerned with the scheduling. - Oh, he loved it, it was his holiday. He doesn't get to do anything wrong. He's like riding fucking horses, he's going on a volcano dancing, he's like- - He literally had so much fun. - Seeing a cat, he loved it.
the best trip of his life holiday of his lifetime probably I love how you didn't so in one of the episodes you went to a cave or something and you just didn't go in the cave yeah I know I would have gone in the cave I would have got it bollocks take me there we'll go in the cave it was such a humiliating day day three journey across Japan we went in the smallest torii gate in Japan yeah it's about 30 centimetres in width
- Yeah, like the red shrine thing you see. - Yeah, this one was made of concrete and it's like concreted into the ground. And I got stuck and I was like, I'm gonna become a fixture here. If I can't get out of it. - 'Cause you can't just like lift the torii gate. - Yeah, you can't lift the fucking thing. And I was really scared. You can see like a moment where I'm like, I'm fucked. - Like we literally had to grab two adults to like pull him out of the torii. - Yeah, it's pretty horrendous. - Fucking idiot. - He's like pulling the whale. - He's like desecrating his shrine.
because you wanted a funny bit in a video it's supposed to bring you good luck but yeah like Joey I can see you what's the good luck there but Joey literally pulled me through it's like a beached whale being like hold on to the beach it's horrible and then we like went in the cave and I couldn't go in because of an insect that looked like something out of Alien like a face hugger
It's your series. You've got to go in the fucking cave. Well, that's what I told him on the day. And he was like, you've got to suffer for your content, right? That's exactly what people do. If I can pole dance, you can go in a cave. And then there was the horse riding. I rode a horse for the first time. Joey got the prize winning horse. Natsuki's horse was about to die.
And I got the six-year-old horse that was brand new, that hadn't trained. And they didn't tell me. And I was the only one that hadn't ridden a fucking horse. And I got on it. And it turned around and looked at me in the eye. And it turned all the way around. I was like, I'm fucked. It knew that I was terrified. It knew that I didn't enjoy it. You could feel the energy. And it turned around and looked at me like...
- I was saying to Chris, I was like, you could tell that Chris did not enjoy it. 'Cause in the video, it's like, now we're riding horses. And like literally one minute later, it's like, and now we're done. It's like over. It's like, I'm not including any of this in the video. - And that wasn't even like cut up for entertainment purposes. It was literally that quick. - Was it really? - Yeah. - He was probably on the horse for max like three minutes.
- How long did you ride for? - It was 10 minutes. He rode like about an hour. - You had a fucking smoke break on the horse. What is he fucking riding? - I know, so it went, it started going mental and I was like, I need to get off this. And like the guy's coming over and he's like, what do you want to do? I'm like, get me off this fucking horse. And I had to like throw my camera off and I sort of dived off it.
It was this far from its foot. And I thought, if this kicks me in the face, it's game over. - That would be hilarious. - I thought it might, 'cause it was like going all like this, like a rocking horse. And like the guy got on it and he couldn't control it either for a bit. - Just whisper to it. - "Chill the fuck out." - You got that dominance. - It can smell your fear, right? - It can smell your fear. - I can smell your fear. - "Do you know who I am? I'm Chris Broad." - And they were like, "Do you want another horse?" I was like, "No, I don't want another."
And then I just did the drone shots of you and Natsuki. - Yeah, I don't want to be a camera man. - You had a fucking great time. - Yeah, it was fucking great. - I was like, I'll have footage of Natsuki and Joey, like this is the best thing we've ever done. - Yeah, it was very relaxing. - It was very relaxing until I started to get allergic reaction to the horse. - Did you actually? - Yeah, yeah. - Did you be allergic to horses? I didn't know that. - Yeah, yeah. - I didn't know I was allergic to horses until I got off and I was in the car and I was like, oh.
Every orifice in my body is leaking right now. I'm like, this is not good. And then I realized, oh, I'm probably allergic to the horse. Shit. Hope you had covers on those chairs, Chris. Oh, good God. Yeah. But that was pretty dicey. The only thing scary was we flew in a little Cessna over. That was easily the scariest. That was easily the scariest thing I've ever done, yeah. Pretty fun. It looked all right. It was scary. It was very scary. Over an active volcano that was smoking, right? And at one point,
Again, I don't like flying. I had a really turbulent flight once when I was about 20. Before that, I loved flying. I loved planes. And then after that, there was a moment where I thought, we're all going to die. Because everyone's screaming. The plane was going all over the place. I had a glass of wine. And I was like, ah. And then just went everywhere. I think that was the main thing, the food and the wine. The food starts flying. It's time to worry. And I thought, oh, I'm going to die now. And then I didn't. And I was like, oh, good. But then every time there's turbulence in the plane, my body has this sort of fight or flight response. It's called PTSD. Yeah.
Yeah, pretty much. How I feel when I watch a SeaDogVA video. Yeah, so I get nervous flying in planes. So you chose to fly on a fucking washing machine. Well, he pressured me into it. He was like, you've got to do it. Also, you were fucking talking about some shitty app that tells you if you go to dark. Yeah, yeah. Like, why are you on earth?
How on earth would you want to know if your plane is going down? That's exactly what I said. Because every time you tell someone you've got a fear of flying, they're like, I don't ever crash. But I'm like, yeah, they do. Look, one in a million times. And that's still one more than I want. That's if you fly over Russian airspace and get shot down for some weird reason. I think you'll be fine. But like, I mean, our Cessna wasn't even on the app.
which is a little airline, the Cessna. - Why would it be? - It's not. - 'Cause if it was, it'd be like, you have a one in four chance. - Every time you get in a taxi, it's way more likely you're- - That's what I told him before we got on. I was like, you're much more likely to die in a car crash. - You driving to the airport is more chance you die. - It is. - But I think it just,
it feels like your life is kind of in your control because kind of when you're on a plane, if you're fucked, you're fucked and there's nothing you can do about it. - Exactly. And we only had one pilot and he was kind of old. And I thought we're flying over this sulfuric cloud. - This is a taxi driver. - I hope we don't have like a taxi driver story in a plane. - Exactly, we're flying through this sulfuric ash cloud that came into the plane. - Yeah, 'cause the guy was like, "Open the door."
- Chris was like, "I don't think I will." - I had the window seat. We opened the actual window. And I don't know why I got that seat. In hindsight, it should not have been me. And I had to sort of show me how to open the window and close it. And I couldn't like shut it. But like, we got to the volcano, I had to open it and all this ash and just methane, like sulfuric methane. - I thought what if the pilot has like a stroke? Who's gonna fly the plane?
Or something like that. You know, the plane's going, you can see in the video, the plane's going up and down. Joey's terrified. He was like, oh yeah, mate, it's going to be fucking fun. And then we get in it and it's like a fucking thrown around like a dog toy. And he's like bouncing around. He's terrified. The second half, I actually quite enjoyed it.
'Cause the filmmaker in me came out and was like, "Ah, this is quite fun." And then he starts getting nervous. - Meanwhile, I'm sitting there without a camera. So I'm feeling everything. - And you can see him like, bouncing up and down. - All right, this is actually fucking terrifying now. - It did look quite like, it looked really cool, but also, yeah, it did look like you would be shooting yourself a little bit. - And then I asked the pilot before it took off, like, "Is this safe?" He went, "Maybe." And I was like, "Maybe? "That's not fucking good enough."
- 10,000 feet over an active volcano with Jerry. Like that's a terrible way to die. - Specifically Jerry. - I think the only reason why the first half for me was bearable was just because I got to watch Chris shitting his pants right next to him. Like that in and of itself was like this entertainment right here negates all fear that I'm feeling right now. - I feel like I can't remember what it was, but there was something sketchy and Chris kept looking at me like,
Oh, wait, no, you know what it was? It was when we were fucking, we went skiing. You mean we got stuck up the hill? I do vaguely. The car couldn't get up the hill. Oh, yeah. And it was so sketch. Wait, what was the story? Okay, so...
Me and Chris went, I went up to visit Chris and then Chris took me to what ski resort? Zao Ski Resort in Yamagata. Yeah, really nice place. And it was great because the hotel that Chris had chosen was on the ski slope. So when you, when you like wake up, you literally just grab your stuff and put them on as you get out of the hotel. You can ski down to the entrance of the hotel, clip them off and just be like, all right, boys, let's get the onsen. The sulfuric acid onsen, which we'll talk about. Yeah. But,
When we came to this place, it's up a massive steep hill, like this steep, really steep, probably ridiculous. And I think Chris had rented a two-wheel drive. I thought it was a four-wheel drive. It was a two-wheel drive. And there was no, was there snow tires on it? Definitely no snow tires. Rubbish. And it was an icy hill. And we just stopped going up this, and then suddenly you hear like, and there's like,
It starts going down. And then the car turns sideways. Oh, shit. This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN. Going online without ExpressVPN is like not having a case on your phones.
Most of the time, you'll probably be fine, but all it takes is one drop and you'll wish you spent those extra few dollars on a case. Did you know that your data is valuable? Yes, even you, your data is valuable. And hackers can make as much as $1,000 selling your personal information on the dark web. I don't think you want that. And it doesn't take much technical knowledge to know how to hack someone. A smart 12-year-old can do it.
I can't, though. Every time you connect to an unencrypted network in cafes, hotels, airports, your online data is not secure. Let me tell you a little bit why ExpressVPN is the best. You see, it would take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption. And it's super easy to use.

- I can only imagine it's the same look he gave you. - It's pretty much that, yeah. - When he looks at you where he wants you to look more terrified, he seems terrified and he's like, "Look terrified, look more terrified." - He was doing that as we were going up the entire time, just gripping my knee with the fucking strength of a gorilla. - Did I edit that out? - Yeah, I think so. - Thank God for that. - There's nothing to hold onto. You feel like you're bouncing around in the air. You've gotta hold onto something.
- He's holding onto my knee. - Imagine that Joey's the only thing- - He's got my knee in a vice grip and I'm like, I can't fucking move right now, Chris. Like hold me. - Oh my God, yeah, we eventually got saved by, I had to get out of the thing, climb up this hill, go to the hotel and be like,
- That's good to know. - And then I had to tell him what was going on. And this guy, you know that meme where the kid is on the gear stick and he slaps it around into gear? This old man jumps in this massive truck, slams the gear down really fast and just starts going. - He spun the car around and then drove down the hill. - Yeah, yeah, and then he comes down, gets like, "Get out of your car, Chris."
gets in the car, spins it around and then brings it back up. This man was insane. - What a Chad. - He was such a, like Chad, it was just like a drifting king. - Sounds like something out of "Initial D" or something. - Yeah, it was like the drift king who like retired in the mountains. He was like, "It's my time." He was like, these corners were tiny and he was driving like a 10 seater van, like up these things super fast. He was crazy. - That's how I feel about, you know, those like massive bus drivers who like drive the mountain roads. - Yeah. - And they're just like fucking like,
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was doing shit like that. Like doing that, like slapping the gears to the side like this. And then he was like, four wheel drive, Adi Muska or something. He did say that. Like four WD, Adi Muska. And I was like, what? No, no.
- We're not smart. - We're stupid. So every time I've ever gone anywhere snowing, I'm like, "4WD, snow tires, please." 'Cause I thought like, we're gonna fucking die. We're gonna keep going down this hill. - I mean, yeah, that's how like cars like topple over. - And we were on a corner so that easily a car could have, it was pretty sketch.
That whole trip was just hilarious. Look at Chris, just putting his friends into precarious situations. Get ready for you, Garth. I guess, what are you going to do for me, Chris? Are you going to go fucking bungee jumping or something? There is a bungee jumping good one. Japanese guillotine experience. You're going first, right? Seppuku experience.

Back to the episode. We've done a video with each of you now in like a hot tub or like a bath. So I just need to go out now. Full Trash Taste set. Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, that video got so many complaints because of the whole breakfast ordeal. I got so much shit for that. Really? Yeah, I got so many comments being like, how dare you? So there was, we stayed, I found this thing on booking.com that was like a five star hotel that was just a townhouse in Kyoto. And I was like,
- Yeah, it was all right. Would you say it's five stars? - Oh, it was lovely. - It was nice. - The dichotomy of man right here. - Yeah, Conor's not easy to impress with anything. - The living room. - Oh man, there's not a Tesco meal deal in here. - Fair mind, this is five stars, right? And you come in this living room and there's a TV that's like 12 inches on a shelf and there's nothing in this living room. There's literally nothing. - The record player. - There was a record player, which is pretty cool. - Oh, nice. - And it had like a bunch of vinyl. - Did you have to bring your own vinyl player? - No, they had their head vinyls. - Oh really? - Oh shit. - And that was cool, but there was,
it was just a living room with nothing in it. - Yeah. - Absolutely no, one bean bag.
One bean bag. - But it had two bedrooms. - It had two bedrooms, right? So Chris got the deluxe king triple comfort bed and I had to sleep on the floor. - Yeah. - Fucking, what is it called? - The futon. - The futon. - As you do. - Honestly, that's better than bed. - And then I had a bath with, the bath was really nice, but there was an old fucking lady staring at me. - Yeah, so it came out the front of this Kyoto townhouse and I looked up and it was like this old woman just peering over the edge like this.
And I was like, oh my fuck, what's she doing? It's like Resident Evil. And she's looking at me. And then I went back in the house. I was like, Connor, there's a woman sitting there. So how much was it? It was 500 a day? 500 bucks. I don't know. 500 bucks a day. Oh, damn. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. It wasn't that much. That's pretty fucking expensive. 300 bucks.
- Yeah, it's about $280 a day. And it came with a free breakfast. You didn't have a say, it just turned up. - The thing is I noticed that ryokans are like ridiculously expensive, but most of that cost is just the breakfast that you get. That you don't have a choice in getting. - I would say if this didn't come with the food, it'd probably be 200 bucks. Like the food, but it came at like 8:00 AM. - It was a great breakfast.
- This is where the controversy, well not controversy, we've got a few comments that were like, how dare you? Where this breakfast just gets delivered to you outside and you open it up and it's just like 10 kind of radish.
just radish and like tofu and i'm not being funny at 8 a.m and i think we were hung over one day we're just like i was like nah nah i'm not eating this yeah order the mcdonald's for kt town audacity yeah terrible but the food so what was the controversy then well they were like how dare you waste the food but i it was probably was it one of the worst ones you've ever seen it was pretty awful it wasn't anything in there that i got excited about put it that way yeah
It was pretty bad. And then there was a whole lot, I got, like my friend was like, they were like, how dare you waste it? I'm like, no, I'm a customer. I'm not wasting it. I don't get to say them whether it turns up. I didn't ask for it. It's not my friend's house. Yeah, but do you feel bad? Because like I...
- I must not be the only person doing it. - No, you're not. But like, there's just something about staying in Japanese ryokan where like, I feel bad if I don't eat the breakfast because someone's specifically prepared. And like, the thing is, I don't want the Japanese breakfast. If I had a choice, like I wouldn't get it most of the time. 'Cause I remember the one time that we stayed in ryokan and we had a, quite a bit of a heavy night and then Joey was fucking hung over the next day.
I could not move. And it was just me, you and Maki waiting downstairs. And I just felt so bad because this like old lady had obviously prepared this like fucking five course meal or something. Joey's fucking waddles in an hour late, takes one look at the breakfast, takes one bite of the fish and he's just like,
- Nope. - I can't do it. - Oh no. - I can't do it guys. - Some days you just- - I tried, I tried so hard. I was like, I'll eat like two things, but like if I eat any more, it's going back onto the plate. Like it's ugh. - It's really heavy as well. - I have that mota nai culture, right? Like don't waste it.
I always try my best to eat what I can. But some days I'm just like, I really just don't want breakfast. And also if I eat this, I'm just gonna feel like shit. So at the end of the day, I've paid for this and I don't have to eat it. I'm a big boy. I could decide not to eat it because right? It's like rice, like a shit ton of miso soup fish.
a bunch of other shit that turns up. - I could do the miso soup 'cause that's like nice on the stomach. - Miso soup is fine. - Miso soup and like tofu, I'm like, that's nice on the stomach. It's like nice on the stomach so like I can eat that on that. - The fish, I'll eat. - Yeah, fish maybe. - The fish is dependent. - Fish is maybe, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. Because like I don't eat breakfast a lot normally. So like a Japanese breakfast is like a five course meal or something like that. And this is more than I have for lunch, let alone a fucking breakfast. - Yeah, it's like a breakfast you give to someone who hasn't eaten in three days.
- I mean, you don't like a king, but at the same time, a king even isn't that hungry when he wakes up first thing in the morning. I don't fucking know. - Even the king's like chill the fuck out bro. - When you're fucking morbidly obese, that's how you start your day. It's ridiculous. And you know, at the end of the day, if you're a customer, I'm like, you know what? I don't need to do this. I don't want to. - Oh yeah, I mean, you know, if you paid for it, then it's your choice, right?
- It's not like I called them up and like bring the breakfast. It gets here, it's shit, I don't want it. It's like, it's coming no matter what, like they're making it regardless.
- Yeah, 'cause like with most places like breakfast is optional, but with a ryokan, it's just part of the package and you have no choice to not have it. - A lot of the times it is, yeah. - I can eat a lot as well, right? I feel like I could eat a lot, but these things are massive. Like if you were like, you know, a smaller person who doesn't eat much, there's no way you could finish it. - That's why I'm always like surprised like with the amount of food that arrives, right? And I'm like, how does like an 80 year old Japanese woman get up in the morning and eat all of that? - I know, right? - Like how? - You just take one bite of everything, fuck it, leave it.
I mean, it's great, the first experience, because you're like, man, this looks fucking amazing. It's like an Instagram meal. You take a picture, looks amazing, post it, and then you're like, fuck, I've got to actually eat this now. Fuck, I didn't think about that. It's just not sass. I mean, coming from the UK, where we have like...
a big plate of everything for breakfast. Like I miss British fry-ups more than anything about the UK. - See, I can't even do those either because it's like, I'm just, I don't wake up in the morning and feel hungry. - No, it's more of a lunch thing really. - It's a brunch. - Yeah, brunch I can do. - I kinda eat it like 12:1 after you've had a heavy lunch. - Oh, okay, then yeah, I can probably do that. - Have you guys ever had a good British kind of fry-up in Japan? - No. - No. - Still not found anywhere that does it.
- I found fish and chips, woohoo. But like, that's like the one thing I can't find. - You found good fish and chips? - I found good fish and chips. - Fish and chips is so boring. - It is. - The English breakfast. - I want a Hobgoblin. - Hobgoblin. - Yeah. - In Shibuya. - It's all right. - That's probably the best one I've had. - It's pretty good. - Really? - Yeah.
- But like, I'm not crazy. I'm never actually craving fish and chips, you know? - No, I'm not either. - You got some of the best fish like dishes here in Japan. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You look at that, you're like, you know what? Fuck this. Fish and chips. - I feel like I'm expected to eat it 'cause all my years here, right? Whenever I go, I'm in the UK, one of three things it's like, oh yeah.
David Bowie or Spice Girls of Fish and Chips. It's one of the few things about British culture. So I'm kind of like, I should probably enjoy fish and chips. Is there anything else? What? Like British cuisine. We have a crisp sandwich. Baked beans. Bread sandwich. Sunday roasts.
Is there a Sunday roast place in Japan? Yes, Hobgoblin. Is it good? It is good. Basically just go to Hobgoblin apparently. And you'll probably bump into us there because we go there a lot. Yeah, we go there quite a lot. But yeah, British food is hard to come by unfortunately. Sausage rolls, Greggs. I do miss Greggs actually. If it's a franchise, couldn't you just buy one and bring it here?
- Don't think so. - Be the first one. - Well, the laws are different, aren't they? - Yeah. - So like, it's not- - Oh, what, change it, like open a Greggs? - Yeah. - Oh, Trash Taste Greggs Club. - It's also not Greggs unless it's like one pound. Like it has to be cheap as fuck. Like if a Greggs is- - Well, you can make it 100 yen, right? - 80 yen. - There's no way you could get the cost there. - Do it.
- Trash Taste, Greg's Club. - You fucking do it, I'm not doing it. - Why should I do it? - You've got a studio the size of Spain, right? You can get a Greg's to Japan. - That's how you make your first meal, bringing Greg's over to Japan. - You could do it. - You could do it. - Selling sausage rolls. - Anything else that you miss about England that you like? - That you crave? - Boris Johnson. - Boris Johnson.
- And here comes all the dislikes. - Finally, you can be in my corner in this one, 'cause I've had arguments with them where- - This is always a slippery slope. We can't get you on side about anything. - Well, I have to argue with these boys, 'cause they're like, "Tokyo architecture is amazing." I know that you are up with me where you think like London is just beautiful, the architecture is amazing. - It is, objectively. - And these boys are like, "No, it's boring. It's boring, it's all the same."
Well, I mean, look at this district here. Look out the window. There's no interesting architectural buildings. I kind of like the feel of Japan. It feels like one big theme park because everything's kind of clean. The building's made out of some sort of weird, woody, plastic material. It just feels like a theme park almost. But it looks ugly. It looks great.
- It looks great. Japan is literally one of the most aesthetics like countries in the fucking world. - All those areas look really cool. But when you start going like 10 minutes out of center, it all just starts to look like an amalgamation of just shit. - Doesn't every country look like that? - No, no. - Fucking every country- - You go to fucking Croydon, I beg to differ, sir. - Every country you go 10 minutes out of the city center and it all looks the same. - In the UK, the high is very high and the low is very low. - Low is Croydon.
It's a lovely place. The people are great. I love Croydon. Shout out to Croydon. Don't go to Croydon after this episode. Jokingly, before Natsuki came to the UK, I said, where do you want to go in the UK the most? He went, Croydon. I was like,
- How do you know what Croydon is? - How does he want to go to one of the most depressing places I've possibly been to in my life? - He's still yet to go. - Why does he want to go to Croydon? - Now you have to take him to Croydon. - I don't know. - How did he learn about it? - It must have been like a band that he liked or something. - Or he heard it from you maybe one time. - I know. - That sounds like a place. - I don't sit in North Japan talking about Croydon all the time. I don't know where he got it from. But no, I'd say the architecture of Japan
Unfortunately, Japan is losing a lot of its old kind of historic buildings Harajuku Station, the Nakagin capsule building is going next year The cool Sega building and arcade in Akihabara. Yeah, they've got a very utilitarian mindset here and Connor's choking to death right now He's gone time to take over his channel. But like yeah, they've got a very utilitarian Mindset as long as it gets the job done. That's the main thing and if you go to somewhere like Tokyo Station, it's
- All the skyscrapers look the same. They're all kind of- - I mean, yeah, that part of Japan is, or Tokyo is quite bland and gray. And you can go to any town across Japan, it looks more or less the same. You'll have the same things. It's rare to find good historic architecture. - I mean- - I don't think it's about the historic architecture though. - No, I like that though. I like the buildings and history. - It is cool. Like the historical architecture in Japan is cool, but I think as well, like they've made like, I think like the aesthetic that a lot of people love about Japan is like kind of the outlandish,
- The alleyways, the back alley. - The golden guy looks awesome. - The golden guy looks like it came out of fucking cyberpunk or something. - Fucking amazing area. - Everywhere else is just so depressing. It all just looks like a mess. - I kind of think London is like that most of it. If it's not zone one or zone two, then what have we got really? - It looks really good I think. All the buildings are like, I don't know. I really liked the look. It's really nice.
Because you lived in Morden. I was like, what's there in Morden? Because I lived in Streatham and Streatham was fucking depressing as shit. Morden just sounds like a fucking Lord of the Rings area. It sounds a lot cooler than it looks. We're going to Morden. It looked pretty nice. I liked it. Nobody enters Morden. I do remember though, when I went back to the UK for the first time in two and a half years, I remember looking up and going, okay, the UK's architecture is pretty good. The old brick buildings and whatnot, you know, in central London. Yeah, in central London.
Yeah. Wales is really nice. All the costages. Chris hates London because he's English. Wales, sorry. Wales is good. Yeah? Yeah. Tom Jones? Anglesey. Anglesey. I used to go on holiday in Anglesey, North Wales. Why? Went canoeing. Oh, kayaking. Good. Englishmen come to our land. Take advantage of our... In our waters? Of our waters. How fucking dear are you? I climb Mount Snowdon. I've done everything there is to be done in Wales.
- Yeah, you showed me around Sendai. He's like, "Look, it's just a big apartment building in the middle of like this like area." - I took you to an 80s bar. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that was good, wasn't it? - Shut up. - Is that the one you took me to? - I think so, right? - Probably. - Yeah. - No, 60s bar. - Oh, the 60s bar, that's right. - We were driving to the ski resort, right? 'Cause it was like, look, there's just a big apartment building in between all these fucking normal houses. It's like a weird thing where like,
It just looks so out of place. It was like some kind of Lord of the Rings apartment building. It's so dystopian. In Yamagata Prefecture, there's just a rice field and some plains, a few huts, and then there's like a 150-foot building. It's like the town. It's like Sauron. Some investor had loads of money and was friends with the governor of Yamagata, apparently, and he was like, I really want to build a tall building, get people coming. He was like, I can make it happen.
- It did it. I think it was a failure. - And then not the tallest building in all of Turkey is like just in a field. - It's ridiculous. - It's really quite impressive. - Imagine rice fields and then just a massive fuck off flat. - It's really quite distanced. - It kind of sounds like a little cool. - It is kind of cool. - It's cool visually. - I think it's cool. - Yeah, but normally the reason- - It's like an art piece. - The reason why you pack people so dense like that is because they're close to something of value. Like something, you know, like a station or whatnot. That's the reason why that works. Not because there's rice fields nearby. - It's like Kowloon, Wool City and a field. - What if all the rice farmers want to live like,
- Farmers need land for their tools and shit. You can't bring it back into his condo apartment, his fucking tractor. Where's he gonna put it? - But I feel like that's part of the charm of Japan, right? 'Cause it feels like there are no rules and you can find the most random places or random things in the most random places. - There's no rules in the most bureaucratic country in existence. In terms of architecture at least. - 'Cause they're too busy with fucking Hanko stamps to bother around. If a building should be built,
- No, definitely in terms of architecture, like Japan, I feel has no rules. - Yeah, you guys went to a fucking village town in fucking Japan and that's like, what other countries out there being like, you know what? We need a town based around Wales. I mean, even fucking England doesn't do that. - And yet it was still better than Wales. - 22 fucking dollars for fish and chips.
- We got mugged off. - We did. - I bought it as well. - It was pretty, it wasn't very good. It was tragic. - You gotta go to the Hobgoblin then. - The tea was really good though. They're really nice too. - How do you fuck up tea? - You'd be surprised. - We've talked about that on the podcast before, yeah. - Because when we also went skiing, Chris took me and there's a sulfur bath.
in one of them. It was horrible. - How was that? - It tore your skin off. - It was like, yeah, I can't remember what the pH was. It was like one. - It was two. It was a pH of two. - It's like how people dissolve people they've murdered. - Yeah, so. - Isn't pH of two dangerous? - It wasn't two. It was pretty high though. - It was two or something. - Was it not really? - It was something like near two. - That's basically acid.
- Can we Google what pH you can bathe in? - That pH too is like very dangerous, right? Especially to bathe in. - Dude, when you get in it and you get out, your skin is all red. - It kind of makes your skin tingle. - I was saying to Garnt like- - Wait, why is this a thing? Yes. - Less than seven is already ascending, so two is-
- Yeah, that's what I thought. Less than seven is acidic. - No, you can go in a salt boat. - It's probably two. It must have been like four or five. - What's the lowest pH onsen? - Basically, that's how they dispose of bodies and break them bad or something like that. - When you go in this onsen, right? We didn't realize, 'cause I think it said only five minutes, but me and Chris were in there for like 30 minutes.
- Oh God, it was horrible. - We came out and like, when you do it, your skin, you can't do this. - Two is one of the most acidic pHs you can do. One is at the end of the scale. - I know how the fucking scale works. It's zero to seven Garnt. I understand the numeric scale. But no, Google the onsen.
- You go on 10 pH levels. I can read from zero to 14, that's not the issue. - That was just handed like a litmus test. - He just showed me the pH scale. I know what that is.
- I'm sure this wasn't like a scheme run by the Yakuza to dispose of bodies when they need to, right? - You go in this thing and it's like, it's really cool 'cause like the snow is falling all around you. It's outside and you go out and you're just like, you're stinging and your whole body burns. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Or you just like bathe in acid, of course it would help, right? - Clean some of it.
- Yeah, I told you. - PH2 is legit. - Yeah, yeah, I told you. - Was it two? PH2. - Because when I was waiting for Chris, when I was waiting for Chris, 'cause every single onsen has a sign outside of it telling you all the chemical makeup and the PH. And I saw it was like 2.1 and I was like, fucking hell.
- That's illegal in most countries. - I think if you'd been there a few hours, we would've just been dead. - Yeah, you would, I think. - Yeah, right? - That's why I said, that's worth five minutes max, and we were in there for 30 minutes, which we should have done. - It could be a video, like an endurance set, so you could stay in the long ones. - Come out your bones. - It's like a Mr. Beast video. - To be fair, it was- - Survive the acid bath, I'll give you $10,000. - It felt really good though when you got out, 'cause you just felt as clean as you've ever been.
- I thought so clean. - You fucking sanitize your entire skin. - It's not fun, it's not good. - I'm pretty sure that's how people like remove tattoos. - It felt like somebody got some sandpaper. - All their skin peels on. - Just go like that for like 10 minutes. - That sounds horrible. - I highly recommend trying. - I couldn't sleep that night. - Fuck off. - Don't take our word. Don't listen to Connor. - I think I'd rather bathe in ethanol.
- I think that's safer, but this is more fun. - I did not sleep that night. - Could you imagine if you like accidentally drank the water? - Oh, well actually you can't really, I don't think you can drink the water at the hotel 'cause it's like this hotel stunk.
Do you remember how bad this was? - It just smelled like the whole hotel was sulfur. - 'Cause it's all built on sulfur, right? - Yeah, 'cause you're bathing in a volcano. - So you're saying in this room and you cannot stop smelling rotten eggs and farts the whole time. I was like, is this Chris or is this the room? I can't fucking tell. - It says Chris ripping a fat one every five minutes. - Have you guys ever been in a Denki Buro?
I have, yeah. No, I haven't. They pass electric current through the water. What the fuck? And I didn't know what it was. It's horrible. So I walked into this bath once, walked through, and I was like, why are my legs tingling? Am I having a heart attack? Why? Why?
And then I saw the candy for electricity and bath, and I was like, fuck off. Why are you having a laugh? And they run a low voltage current through the water. You are kidding. Yeah. It's the same feeling as the sulfuric water, basically. It feels like acid, but it's kind of scary. This one just accidentally slipped and put the voltage up like 10 times. Whoops. What a terrible way to go. Things that shouldn't be mixed is like electricity and water. I'm pretty sure we learned that when we were like three. Yeah.
It's like someone dropping like a little toaster in the fucking- - Just a toaster in the water. - Just a toaster in the water. It's like, oh, here you go. - Who the fuck came up with this? - I don't know. - Yeah, I remember I went in there once when I was very young and again, I didn't know what either, what it was. So the moment I stepped in, I was like, "Mommy, I'm dying." - What's happening?
- Why can I not stand? - The only way it could have been worse was acid bath with electricity. - With electricity. - $1,000 challenge, who would stand at the longest? - $1,000, that's not worth $1,000. - Let's do it, let's do it. - I'll come up just red. - Just jelly. - That's how Dr. Jelly was born. It's a Dr. Jelly origin story. - He just rises from the bath.
- Does like Japan have health and safety regulations? - You can go in any. - I don't think so. - It's too, it's safe. - I'm just wondering, imagine like trying to pitch this idea in the UK. All right, we're gonna do like a special bath. People can bathe in acid. - It's weird. I once, hear me out, you can drop a toaster but you won't die. - I once went to the most like, one of the most dangerous temples in South Japan and you climb up a cliff face with just like a metal chain. If you let go, you just die.
I didn't realise this until I got halfway. Why, did it? Fuck off, no way. And my hands were like slipping and like bleeding at the end.
But like, when I asked, we got to the top and I asked Ryotaro, what the fuck is this? He's like, oh, you know, four people died here last year. I was like, why are we climbing up here? I was in jeans and just like some silly trainers. I can just imagine you climbing it with this hat on and like a pair of pants. This is radical, Ryotaro. And there's like a shot of Ryotaro getting to the cliff edge and his hand slipping. And it felt a bit like that scene in The Lion King where he's like, long live the king. I could fry him off. I should have done in hindsight.
- Wait, so how long did you have to climb up this? - It took like 15, 20 minutes. - It's quite an endurance. - It's quite an endurance. - You don't like have any safety. - No. - Shit. - I was trying to film it on a rucksack. I was in jeans. So I couldn't like move my legs past like 20 degrees. And I'm like, what this isn't funny. - You cheated death that day. - Yeah. - There's a video called Japan's most expensive beef. And he joked, we have to do this challenge. - He didn't even click bait it.
No. It was part of another clip. Yeah, that's dedication. Riotto was like, we've got to do a challenge before we eat the beef. And I was like, no, we don't. We just eat some fucking beef. And then he took me there, nearly died. And I was like, trying to eat the beef and shaking. PTSD from this clip. I was shell-shocked. So how'd you get down? You've got to go down it as well. You've got to go down it the same fucking way. Oh, shit.
- You walk or? - Holding onto the chain and just slipping down. - How vertical is this thing? - Fucking. - So it's like a footpath that's too vertical. - It's like the Lion King. If you've seen the Lion King, it's like that. - No way you can climb a vertical wall. - It was almost practically vertical.
- I love how Connor's not like, you know, suspicious about the story. He's suspicious about your athletic ability. - Him with a camera in G, no way he can climb. - Was this like during the first journey across Japan kind of era where you had to keep in shape, I suppose? - That was before that, actually, yeah.
- If I'd known how dangerous it was, I would have been like, no, this isn't even funny. This isn't my entertainment. This is just death. - You didn't even click bait it. So it wasn't, it wasn't. - How did you not take one look at it and go like, that looks dangerous. - I don't know. - Why did it take you up until halfway where you were like, this might be dangerous. - We had this experienced climber who's wearing like the most expensive climbing boots. And he sort of went up it really quick. I'm like, it can't be that hard. And then I got up and I'm like,
Holding onto this chain And you know If you hold onto a metal chain You just slip down it Your hands are greasy You start to bleed And Yeah It was awful Yeah
- Really awful. - Awful the content. - Dreadful. - God, for someone who's afraid of danger, you've been in a lot of dangerous situations. - Yeah, I want more. - You can do that, but not go in a fucking cave. - Yeah. - Fuck the cave. - I want more extreme sports videos with Chris. I wanna see Chris do snowboarding. - I wanna see Chris do like the Sasuke challenge, like the fucking like the ninja challenge.
- You know the Ninja Warrior Challenge? - Oh! - Like the vertical wall and shit? - The Sasuke Challenge? - Yeah, it's called Sasuke in Japanese. It's called the Sasuke. They just called it the Ninja Warrior Challenge in America. - A broad Japan wheelchair challenge, but I'm done with it. - I don't think so.
- I won't last long on it, I'm sorry. - Can you just imagine how funny it would be, Chris, trying to go up the vertical wall? - It's a Trash Taste video. You should go to the fucking cliff and climb it. - I'm down. - It's a Trash Taste special. - I know, we could actually die in this. - Yeah. - I think the view's gone. - I wanna do a skiing special, but I don't know how you'd film it. It'd be too hard. - Go pros all around. - I guess. - I'll do the drone and just sit in the chair. - The challenge is try to learn how to snowboard, which would be my challenge. - Yeah, true.
- 'Cause I'd be not on my ass most of the time. - Well, you can get Chris to join you. - I'll drone it for you. - No, I'm a drone pilot. - Chris can't snowboard. - Drone pilot now. - No, no, you can snowboard. - No, no, you can snowboard. - Too old for fun. - When I went skiing with Chris, Chris had a bit of an accident and then couldn't ski very well. - I was doing all right. I hadn't skied in a few years and then I just fell over and my leg was fucked. And then I just couldn't ski for the rest of the day. - Oh, shit. - Yeah. That was awful. - That's dangerous. - It's really dangerous. I just kept falling over. - I was snowboarding down and I was waiting at the bottom for Chris. And I just see this like mini avalanche forming.
- A snowball. - Literally like, I'm just watching him and I look at my phone for one second, I look up and I just see the clouds coming. Clouds of snow falling. And then I'm like, oh shit, you're right, Chris. But then when you're at the bottom, you're like, I can't do anything. - Yeah, you just have to stand there. - Come on, Chris. Good luck, Chris. - A real friend would have climbed up for me. - No fucking way. - No fuck that. - He was so far up. I couldn't go. - How much further did you go down compared to him? Didn't wait for him?
- No, so what it was is that- - Like a true friend. - So it was like, it was kind of like a long extended one. And so I always just try and stay in view. So when it's in, when I get to the bottom of it, I'll just wait for the bottom of the, until the next slope starts. And I just wait at the bottom 'cause Chris is going really slow. - I try and stay in view. - Is that Chris? - So I got my binoculars out and then just saw Chris coming and then he just fell down. - I was savoring the moment. - I did feel bad for you. - Savoring the moment. - Savoring the injury.
Was your knee okay afterwards? Because you look, he was pretty beaten up on the day, I think. Yeah, I think I didn't stretch very well before. And then when I fell over, it like twisted my leg. And then every time I put pressure on it, I was fucked. Yeah, I know. Take precautions when skiing. Yeah, be careful. Don't do a Chris. Don't do a Chris. Don't do a Chris. You'll end up like this. Everything else was successful. Everything, the acid bath, that was a good trip. That was a fun trip.
- What's next? - I want to extreme sports with Chris. - Are you going to climb Mount Fuji then? - I want to. - Did you see they opened it, but not the top. - What? - Yeah, they opened it to the, what is it? - The halfway college, right? - Oh fuck. - Yeah. - Oh, that's not worth it. - So they've opened all of Mount Fuji except the top. - Except the most interesting part of the point. - Except the part where everyone wants to get to, right?
That's like opening Super Mario Land but only letting you in the ticket gate. Yeah, exactly. It's really bizarre. I don't know why they've... I would rather them just not open it. Well, last year it's because it gets really... I mean, I've climbed it. It gets very crowded at the top. It's not like a mountain. When you get to the top, it's just like waiting for a theme park ride. It takes the magic out, I can assure you. And they were worried that people would spread COVID up there as a result. It's gone. Imagine getting COVID at the top of the ship. No one can get into spread COVID.
If you've got COVID at the top of Mount Fuji, well done. You've got all the way up there. That's a test in itself. Yeah, that's a real endurance test around that length of COVID. It's a CV-worthy event. Climbed Japan's biggest mountain with a virus. No, it's a shame though because there's no point climbing it this year then. Not really. We wanted to maybe do something like that but unfortunately. Might have to be next year.
- Unfortunately, that would have been fun. - Climb up Krakatoa. - Krakatoa. - Krakatoa is like the biggest volcano in Indonesia. - I'd watch that. - Yeah. - My God, no.
- Trash Tanks versus K2. - Didn't it erupt and destroy most of Southeast Asia? - Yeah, I mean that way it was, I think it's like- - Why do you sound so happy about that when you say- - This is 200,000 years ago. - Yeah, yeah, I think it's like the site of the biggest volcanic eruption in like historic- - Can't do Mount Fiji. - Can't do Mount Fiji. - That's a runner up for you guys.
Crack a toy. I'll drone it for you. Just one of those used to drone down. From the car park. Is there a car park?
Is there anything like you've like yet to go in terms of like videos for Japan? Cause I feel like again, like, cause I think the question came up, the question came up of like, you know, cause we finished journey across Japan three and we were like, Oh, is it going to be, obviously I think after the last episode goes up,
I think next week as of this episode if you get a dime time are you planning another journey across Japan we're going to get asked I might do one day probably next year if I do it again but like I like to just sort of do individual episode challenges now a series it's a lot of pressure right because everyone's like when's your next one whenever I finish editing it
You know, and it's, you know, it's quite tricky to put a series out. And then with a series, right, everyone's like, oh, I love the first episode. Then you get, oh, the second episode's good, and the third, and then the fourth, it's like, is this still going on? And then the fifth, it's like, it's,
so like you kind of lose generally a little bit you lose a bit of momentum but it's kind of done alright this series but you kind of like you just think I'll just do a standalone episode next time like a one like I did an episode where I went to Japan's most northern extreme point this year and that's just one episode 30 minutes long and that was kind of fun I see doing more like standalone almost like a Trash Taste special it's going to steal your format it's a Chris special it's a Chris special Chris special me alone on Krakatoa it's going to be great
- What I wanna know is like how much planning goes into journey across Japan? 'Cause it seems like- - Why is he laughing? - Is this picture of climbing Krakatoa? Is it still there? - Is it still there? - Is it still there? - It's a fucking volcano. - I think it blew up and actually disappeared. - What are you talking about? - The eruption was so powerful, it blew the whole summit off. So it's like Mount Sanhela. - I don't think it's erupted within our lifetime.
- I think you're talking about an event that happened like 200,000 years ago. I actually don't know what you're talking about. - We're gonna find out. - If it happened 200,000 years ago, we probably wouldn't fucking call it a mountain anymore. We wouldn't know what it was. - All right. - 1883. - It wasn't 200,000 years ago. It was like 200 years ago. - My bad. - It's erupted a few times.
Volcanoes generally do that in the entire history of the Earth. It was making it one of the most devastating volcanic eruptions in human history. 1883. 1883. You know, how good of a YouTube video would it have been if your volcano exploded while you were in the Cessna? It did explode, didn't it? Yeah. After we flew over it. Later. Sakurajima is the most active volcano in Japan. It smokes 24 hours a day and then about a week after we flew over it, it actually erupted. Yeah. And if our plane had been going over it, it would have been like, just swatted out the sky. Yeah. That's pretty cool.
- It was pretty fucking scary. - Yeah, the pilot was quite good. He was like a military pilot and that could be a great video. He went like, "Bowl roll." But like, yeah, it was a little bit dangerous. Like a couple of people died, right? I'm pretty sure. - Not that day. No, not that day.
- Not there. - I hope so. - You see someone die, just like, "Are we still filming this? "Are we still going, guys?" - Isn't the town built right next to the volcano? - Yeah, there's lots of, you know, thousands of people live around the base. - That feels like a bad idea. - It's pretty safe. The kids have to wear helmets to protect them.
from ash and things, but like every day. - So it's like an acid bath and a electric onsen. - The difference between a spicy bath and a active volcano. - It's like telling you that a hundred ways to kill yourself with glory this episode, isn't it? - That's the title. - "A hundred ways to die." - "A hundred ways to die with Chris Broad." That's the title of this episode. Thank you very much. - Do they have a plan for if the volcano goes off or?
- Well, the people are safe, 'cause they're sort of just far away enough from it. But it used to be an island, Sakurajima, and then it erupted and became a peninsula, 'cause the lava just connected with the land and built a land bridge. So it's a pretty hardcore volcano. Too much volcano, some would say. - It's not Krakatoa, though, is it? - It's not Krakatoa. - It's no Krakatoa!
- Sounds like a game show. - Why are you obsessed with fucking Krakatoa? - It just sounds cool. - It's a cool sounding- - Krakatoa. - Yeah, because like you always seem to find some really like really out there ideas, cool ideas, not just Journey Across Japan, but just in general. And these guys are talking about how you literally have like fucking scour Google maps or something. - Yeah.
What goes into that? There's definitely variables on Journey Across Japan. Like, we have a kind of start and end place. We have the hotel at the beginning and the end. And then I have a few locations lined up. And then I sort of keep it from, in this season, I kept it from Joey and Natsuki. And then we get challenges. And then the challenges shape what happens, right? So the day we did the wrap, Too Much Volcano, we could have done anything. Could have been like, eat the worst food in Kumamoto or, you know, something like that. So there's lots of variables that keeps it.
Fresh and original. But when you've got a team of like five people and, you know, it's a very pricey experience to make, you've got to make sure that you're actually doing good things right. Yeah. So various places are planned out. But I wouldn't say it's scripted as such. No, no, no. I feel Journey Across Japan 3, though, was like way more intense than 2. I just feel like that week of 3 was just, we did, I reckon, twice as much stuff as we did in 2.
At least that's what it felt like to me. - Just asked myself, how could you make like the ultimate series in a week? And that's pretty much all the stuff I found led to that. - So how long did it take in total? - To find all those places? - Oh, I guess. - Or to like plan it out, schedule it and all that.
- Three days? - Three days? - 72 hours. - No fucking way. - No, I did actually spend like two or three days just glued to Google like, "Fucking, what is that?" - I spend more time trying to plan my fucking holiday. And then you just planned an entire fucking special, like five-day special. - I think the greatest find was this abandoned island called Ikeishima. The abandoned island everyone knows, in Nagasaki, is Gunkanjima Battleship Island, which you've probably seen Skyfall.
What? Because you can't fucking do anything there. Well, yeah. I thought you could walk around it, but you can only go as a tour. 90% of it is blocked off. So you can only go as a tour. And that was going to be the centerpiece of the series. So once I discovered that, I was like, we're fucked. And I got really depressed. And I was like, is it even worth doing this series now? The Lost Islands. It's not going to work, is it? It's going to be the boring islands. So I kept looking around Nagasaki, and I found just 40 kilometers north another island. Bigger. Ten times bigger than Ginkanjima.
30 abandoned buildings like a city a mini city and less than 100 people and 100 yeah 100 or so people live there and you can explore it freely it looked really cool it did look really cool that was my kind of probably my favorite episode actually so what's like your process of finding these places because i would like to know because like i you know i i would like to travel around more around japan but i'd
- Literally don't know where to fucking start. Like you do a Google search, but like cool places to go in Japan and you get like the same 10 articles. - Shinjuku. - Shibuya. - You get the same 10 articles with the same like 20 places in every fucking article. - Or you just pick a place, like a place you want to go to and then you start looking at everything around the area. - Well, I would switch to Japanese. Use Japanese to search, it gets a lot easier. 'Cause obviously the people that know the places are gonna be in Japan.
To speak Japanese And so If you do that You'll find like 10 times more interesting places Otherwise it's just always Tourist hotspots Yeah basically That's my advice Get someone who can speak Japanese To look up These places Yeah Thanks mate Great Now to just find That Japanese person Yeah
- Joey? - Jack? - Joey planning the next trash day special? - Yeah, sure. - This episode is sponsored by Honkai Impact the Third. - A free to play 3D action role-playing mobile game developed and published by Mihoyo, the same makers of Genshin Impact. - Boys, the folks over at Honkai Impact the Third actually have a massive announcement to make. - Oh my God, what is it Joey?

- Really? - Not sake. I thought you were the sake. - I mean, we have sake. - This is really refreshing, right? Like plum wine. They take a plum, put it in some sake, leave it there for like a month. - You guys really fucking topped it off there. - Well, how much are you supposed to pour in? I don't normally drink Umeshi. - It's pretty purified Umeshi. - Yeah. - Okay, so. - I was about to find out. - I think like 12 or 14%. - Cheers. - Cheers. - To best drip, whoever I am. - Lazy drip. - Lazy drip. - Most drip.
- Most drip? Barely most English. - Most drip.
- Says the guy that a minute ago off camera went, "I have dentist." He didn't say, "I have to go to the dentist." - Hey, listen. - You make it sound like an STD. - Some words are unnecessary. - I have dentist. - He's got dentist all over his face. - I thought he just went to the dentist as well. What's up with that? - 'Cause then I haven't been in like five years. - Do you have dentist? - I have dentist. - He has dentist. - I haven't been in like five years. - Do you have an issue you need to sort out or? - Or you wanna make a mold 'cause my...
Why is that so fucking funny, Chris? It's a fucking mold.
- There's nothing funny about it. - Why is that funny? - You don't know. - There's nothing funny about it. - He's losing it, what the fuck? - That's one sip of Umeshu. - It's just the I have dentist thing. - Shut the fuck up. - And then it brought back that hate comment about you where someone was like, this guy was raised on. - What the fuck was it again? It was like.
- I remember. - What's his IM viewership? - There's this hate comment that Chris shared with me about Connor and it was so fun. - It sounds like he was raised on risotto and wine from the breast or something. - I hate this guy. He sounds like he was served on risotto from the breast. And wine before milk. - It was quite, you know, it felt quite- - No, it was like instead of baby food, it was risotto. - It was like baby food.
- Anyway, I have dentists. - You have dentists. - Yeah. - Have we talked about the Japan dentist experience? - We haven't. - What is it? - Well, I went to an English dentist. - Oh, okay. - Maylene was like, "Yeah, they speak all English "and they use American practices "that are better than Japan. "Are they better than Japanese?"
- The American way apparently is better than the Japanese. Apparently Japanese dentists are a bad rep. I've heard they're pretty bad. - It's not that they're bad. Like I went the other day to a Japanese one and it's like, it's not that they're bad. It's just, they're a lot more like ruthless when it comes to like cleaning your teeth. Like, you know, 'cause they use that like really like tiny thin, like high pressure water hose. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And it kind of makes a
- I hate that. - They use that, like all dentists do, but they go hard. They're just like, "Hi, akite kudasai." They sound really nice when they're asking you to open your mouth. Like, "Hi, akite kudasai." And then they're just, "Ki!"
I didn't realise Japanese dentists had a bad rap but it makes sense now. The first time I went to a dentist, Japanese dentist, he said, don't worry, I learned in Canada. It's like a point of, it's an advertising point if you're training in America or a foreign country. So they'd all train in Canada and they'd be front and centre of their marketing. Yeah, because the American dental system is actually
I'm pretty good if you can afford it, which is always the catch. - There's the catch. - That's the biggest. - Yikes. But yeah, no, it's really good. 'Cause you know, no one tells you, you gotta go to the dentist by the way, until your teeth are like fucked. You're like, I guess I should go dentist. So I just totally forgot to go to the dentist. - For how long? - For like five years. - Five years without dentist. - It's people like you that create the big book of British smile. - My teeth are fine though.
4K. No, they were all right. I never had problems. And I went and they were like, yeah. So why are you going twice? So when my mouth is resting, my bite is pretty deep.
I mean, you have this as well, right? - Yeah. - So just to stop my teeth from grinding in my sleep. Why are you laughing? - It's like a rabid dog. - No, it's just like when you're resting, you know, some people when you rest. - I think it's when you have like a particular shaped jaw. - It's kind of, when I sleep, it's kind of uncomfortable to close my mouth. - What do you dream about to make you do that? - You dream of like playing Apex Raid of Shadows in your sleep. - Raid of Shadows? - Apex Raid of Shadows.
That was about four games in one.
- "Apex Raid of Shadows", my favorite game. - You're in touch with the kids, right? - Do you try and be a fucking boomer on purpose? I swear you do. You're on fucking purpose. - Are you playing that "Apex Raid of Shadows"? - The bridge of the youth today, I know all the games. - Really? - I know every game. - Like "Apex Raid of Shadows"? - I heard Connor showed you "League of Legends Esports" the other day. Do you remember that? - Yeah, when we went to, we filmed that trailer, the movie trailer.
- Oh my God, I can only imagine Chris watching Lee. - Chris was editing away and the massive 70 inch TV was not being used. And I was like, well, great. I'll just put the League of Legends Esports on.
- No, you showed me a guy from North England who just eats food all day. - I did show you that as well. I've got "Rate My Takeaway" YouTube channel. It's just a guy from North England who eats- - He showed me that one as well. - He's pretty funny. He's like the top, the most popular British channel right now. It's just some guy eating takeaway going, "This is cracking love." That would be beautiful. This is beautiful. - He has a little chair and a table. He goes like a fish and chip shop, gets the fish and chips and just sits out on the road. And people know him, he's famous now. So I was like, "How's your fish and chips there like?" And he's like, "Yeah, it's good, isn't it?"
It's so good. It's the best channel I've ever seen. Okay, we've got like five tangents, but I'll stick to this one for now. This is one video and it's the funniest thing where he goes to a Chinese takeaway and he opens his box up and nothing in it looks like Chinese food. It's like chips and wings and stuff. And he's like, oh, it's just cracking. It's amazing. And I'm like, what the fuck?
- Fuck is this? But everything he tries, he loves. - He loves it all. - He's great. He's really just fun to watch. - Super positive. - Yeah, he's great. - Sort of like Northern British report of the week in some aspects. - That sounds awesome. - Yeah, basically. I mean, essentially that is what he is. - When we get a Rate My Takeaway Trash Taste Collab. - That's what we need. - If he comes over there, that would be the video of the century. - I would love to see him. Imagine he goes to the ramen shop, he just takes it outside. They're like, "No, no, no!" - He gets his little chair and table out.
- I love that. - What a legend. - So I did show him that, but on the big screen, I showed you League of Legends and you were so confused. - It was just lots of commentators going, "Ah, ah." - It's like the Red Bull Baron play. - We need Chris reacts to League of Legends Esports. - What did you think of it? - Shit. - They sponsor this. - Everything. - Oh, I love them. I play it every day.
- No, they don't. On their show, they have like, you know, when they have like the best moment of the game, it's called the Mercedes drive to victory. - Yeah. - What? - Yeah, and it's sponsored by Mercedes. - Mercedes drive to victory. - Yeah, it's the like clip. And then they have the Red Bull Baron power play. - The Red Bull Baron power play. What else is there? The State Farm analyst desk. - Yeah, the analyst desk where they talk about, and then they have the MasterCard stats or something. - Yeah, the MasterCard something. I don't fucking know.
Does anyone remember Battlefield 1942? That was a great game. Yeah, so I got Christian into League of Legends esports. Why? He's a massive fan now. He loves it now. What team do you root for? In League of Shadows. Ha!
- What is it with you and shadows? Why do you like that word so much? - It's the apex raid of shadows, league of shadows. - My favorite team in the wizards. - The wizards. - What's the last game you played, Chris? - Yeah, what's the last video game? - What's the last video game you played? - Tetris. - Red Dead Redemption 2. - Did you like that? - Yeah, it was cracking. - That don't have the word shadow in it though. - No shadows, was it? - What's your top five video games of all time?
Uncharted 4. Okay. Come On and Conquer Generals. Okay. That'll... Nah. Perfect Dark. Nintendo 64. Perfect Dark. Even though it's difficult to play now. Yeah. Can't really see what's going on screen. No. That's my eyes. That's great. That was so great. And Mario Kart. Double Dash.
- That's not a bad list. - That's actually not a bad list. - With a cheeky bit of Resident 4 thrown in. - Oh. - I've got a game from like 30 years ago and 20 years ago. - Do you game much now? - Good Lord, no. Life is a game. Can't fucking fly over a volcano when the cave is an insect. - Life is game. - Like, you know, all the stuff we talked about. - Are you saying go outside? - What Chris is saying is touch grass. - Philosophy, we're abroad in Japan. - I feel like life is an RPG, innit?
- In Japan it's certainly- - Yeah, you unlock quests by meeting people. You nearly die on a cliff with a chain, you know. A plane over a volcano. You get all these experiences and that's like- - And then you go home and watch League of Shadows. - Yeah. I just didn't see the thrill of it. It was just lots of people on screen commentating. - That's generally what happens in sports. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's what most sports games are like. - I'm out of the loop. I'm out of the loop there. - Yeah, but you're not a big sports fan either, are you really? You don't really- - How dare you?
- Are you? - Clearly not, no. - No, not to do, I mean to watch. - I used to do, I used to like fencing.
- Fencing? - Fencing? - Defensive. - Fuck off. - You're saying I'm raised on fucking wild risotto, playing the whitest sport known to men. - I've never known a single person who did fencing before. - It was like a council sponsored fencing. - They were like, let's give the poor people a chance to play. - Effectively, yeah. - Play polo too? - Yeah, it's good. I was in the cadets, the RAF cadets. - Clay pigeon, did you do that? - Clay pigeon, I wish. - What's the only more white and posh thing I could think of? - Synchronize something?
- What? - So good, I was throwing. - It's just him drowning in a pool for 15 minutes. - And I did take one day for a bit. - You fucking did? - I did, so you're domestic. - I need to see that now. - And poker. Texas Hold'em poker. - Is this eSport these days? - It's an eSport. - It's become like an eSport. So that's what I do. And I cycled across Japan. And climb out Fuji. - Barely. - Fuji.
- That's a sport. - Listen to you, mate. It's fencing. - Fencing. - Fencing with the ribs. - I wanna hear about Tae Kwon Do. - I was dreadful. - How did you get into Tae Kwon Do? - How did that happen? - Just wanted to get fit really. - And at university. - Oh, university, all right. - All the cool kids were doing it. I'll join in. - How long did you do that for? - I got quite fit. I did a year. Got a yellow belt.
- Is that high? - I think yellow velvet is one after white velvet. - Shut up. - It's like level two. - I could kill you with one foot if you're already asleep. - If you put your weight on. - It looks like it's fucking happening here, right? - Yeah. - But yeah, my sporty days are behind me. As we've established.
- You sound like somebody who's given up on sports. - I am thinking of doing like a physical challenge though, like journey across Japan again and maybe like walking or- - It's a good excuse to get into shape, right? - Yeah. - I find that I can't get into shape without a goal. - Well, I genuinely thought I was gonna climb Mount Fuji this year until that came out. - How hard is it to climb Mount Fuji as someone who's never climbed Mount Fuji and someone who's like obviously thinking about doing it. - I did it when I was 22, sorry, 23. And yeah, it was pretty tricky.
Jesus. 23 and you still found it tricky. It wasn't fun. I'm fucked then. It wasn't fun at all. A moment of it was fun. Great. I'm looking forward to climbing Mount Fuji. Brilliant. I slept on a rock. Because the clever people that climb Mount Fuji, you start at 5pm, right? You climb three quarters of it. You climb some fucking Buddhist monk or something. Like, yes, this is your bed for today. You've got to sleep on the rock. You've got to sleep on the rock.
Monk Monk Malfuji experience Excuse me No like There was like Expedia You have like The clever people get these huts right And you stay in a hut The clever people get these huts You get there 7pm You have a bit of like Rice curry rice Wake up at 2pm Finish the climb I got to the huts at like 9pm They were all full Yeah And they're like No no no room And I was like Oh fuck you man And I literally found like a small rock That could just
I could just prop my head on it. And I got my jumper and I made it into a pillow and slept on that. Outside? Yeah. Were you not cold? Frozen. Yeah, I was about to say. Isn't that how people die? Yeah, my friend went in t-shirt and shorts and nearly got frostbite. It was really serious, actually. Fucking idiots. We got to the top. The sun came up. And we were like, we've got to go now. We can't enjoy it. Unfortunately, all that climb was for nothing. We waited for the sun to come up. It came up. We're like, all right, good. We see it. Let's go. Did you guys do no research before climbing? No. No.
You just think it was a hill or something. Well, I mean, it was about, you know. So we did it in summer and it was about 36 degrees outside. You think, well, it's going to be hot on top. It's going to be cold on top, but it's not going to be that cold. But it is almost 4,000 metres. And when we started climbing it and my friend turned up in his T-shirt and shorts, the Japanese people were like, what are you doing? Fucking idiot. Yeah.
And they're like, you're very stupid. White people. Yeah, and we were like, what are they on about? It can't be that bad. And then as we got up, it went like 18 degrees, 12 degrees, 5 degrees, minus 2 degrees. And, you know, my friend was like...
At one point It sounded like something ominous was going on in the dark But like What really happened on the rock? Down in the rock Yay The hat was brought for that You can take it off now No I want the best drip And Yeah Take a ski jacket Yeah Take some pillows Take your fucking Gamerade And you're good to go Gamerade
- Take some League of Shadows. - Yeah, cheeky bit of League of Shadows at the top. - You knew you were brought in Japan special, right? Hypothermia challenge, right? - Yeah, let's go. - Who can last the longest in hypothermia? - Survive on the rock, win $10,000. - Last one to leave the rock wins $10,000. - But then after all that, it just got demonetized 'cause I put like some music from...
What's that? The band with the Shamisen The Yoshida Brothers Oh yeah I just got taken off So you can't watch it in Japan Wow And it got completely And my friend Norm The cameraman for Journey Across Japan Plays with the Yoshida Yoshida Brothers I put in a good word He didn't Nothing happened Bastard And yeah So that video is for nothing Nothing It was number one Mount Fuji video For like two years Before it got buggered And that's just gone Who's number one now?
- That's a good question. Who's number one on Mount Fuji? - If you look up Mount Fuji, you're gonna kill it. - Most views? - Yeah. - Yep. - Take them down. - Take them down. - What if it's just like Chris's other video? - I should just take that video and just edit it and repost it. - Yeah, you probably could. - Is it still Chris? - It's still Chris. - It's still Chris. What are you complaining about, Chris?
- Still the top video on Mount Fuji. - This is the happiest day of my life. I've won an award, I've got a mesh shoe, I've won Trash Taste and top Mount Fuji video. Shit. - I can't think of a more British thing than trying to climb Mount Fuji in shorts and a t-shirt, right? - It's pretty British. - 'Cause it's just like...
Like in England, you see the sunshine and it's just like, all right, it could be like 15, 16 degrees. You see a bit of sun, shorts and t-shirts time, right? It's hard though to imagine, like when you stay outside 36 degrees, it's hard to think there's nowhere in this country that could be cold enough that you need something like that, right?
So you know You're going from Central Tokyo Shinjuku Where we started To Mount Fuji Two hour bus ride And then bang It's like oh It's minus two Did you not just think Maybe I should just Give a quick Google As to what goes on On Mount Fuji Maybe I should Check the weather Yeah see what goes on You know What do people recommend Well I mean I did have a ski Kind of ski jacket And shorts Yeah My friend went in Just t-shirts And you didn't Tell your friend I did I did He was like I'll be alright
- Was he British? - Oh yeah. - Oh yeah, okay, that sounds about right. - He was not. - Good old George. - I'm surprised you were able to sleep in that fucking cold with- - I didn't really. I remember just hell. - Why don't you just carry on to the tour?
Because you're so battered by that point. Fair enough. And you're not supposed to. A lot of the clever people do something called bullet climbing, although it's not really clever. When you get to the base, there's something, a sign saying, don't bullet climb. And the bullet climb is where you rush up the mountain as quick as you can, like, you know, five, six hours. Yeah. And you come back down. But like, a lot of people get towards the top, the oxygen deprivation kicks in, they sort of pass out and just...
get fucked up so you're supposed to do it kind of slowly to acclimatize to the lack of oxygen i know a lot of good friends that do it in one morning go up get there the afternoon come back down and i'd probably do that if i was going to do it again i'd probably just do that the sunset was great but it's like it's like accommodation there just a nightmare to stay in on the accommodation yeah well it gets booked up very quick yeah yeah how do you got to like know people to get accommodation there
And I didn't know that the alternative was just sleeping on a rock, but I guess now I know. - I don't think I have much choice. - I don't think it's recommended. - It's in the dark, it's pitch black up there. You can't see where I am. I went off the track a little bit and just found a volcanic rock, slept on it.
Job done. It's volcanic. It's kind of warm. Laughing at me for my lack of sports when I've slept on a rock. Straight from Krakatoa. I'm not going to be impressed by your stupidity. Why would I be impressed by that? Just wait until I climb Krakatoa. We'll see who has the last laugh. You're not going to climb anything. I don't even know how tall it is. Probably very tall. Something else to find out. I think it's like the biggest volcano in the world right now. I don't know what.
- Top 10 volcanoes? - Yeah, top 10. - Krakatoa? - Krakatoa. - Is it? - I think so. It's definitely one of the most famous volcanoes in the world. - I've never heard of it. - What the fuck is going on? - Why are we laughing? - Why are we talking about this fucking volcano? Why are we talking about it? - I don't know. Chris just seems to like fucking want to mention it for some reason. - Chris is like obsessed with Krakatoa. - Someone made me a bet, $1,000 that I could get the word Krakatoa said 100 times on Trash Taste. - He just wants us to say volcano so it promotes his new fucking song.
- Hey, I'm okay with that, I'm in it. - 33% of the profit. - Yeah. Go iTunes. - Give me 5% and I'll shill it. - Well, we're gonna fucking sponsor you. - Give me the UMesha. - Sponsored by too much volcano. - But like, yeah, no, I'm running out of,
Really cool kind of cool things to do in Japan. I just thought you've done everything well How many how many prefectures do you have like you said like I've got two prefectures to go to two prefectures What are they? Kochi in Shikoku and Miyazaki, which we kind of drove through on journey. I mean, I can't can we call that? Miyazaki in Kochi and that's it. Oh, yeah, and maybe Shimano
So that's three. Do you feel like you've almost completed Japan in some ways? I've got a scratch map of Japan. Right. Of course I do. And I scratch, every time I go somewhere, yeah, I've got that perfect chair. And it's got like only a few bits to scratch off now. And then I'll be like, done. What are you going to do? Yeah, what are you going to do after that? Bits and pieces of Okinawa, the Pacific islands of Japan, like Algecima. Oh.
I don't know if you've ever seen it. It looks like a proper Bond villain's lair. You're just like, Jesus, anything. Give me something. Is there a raccoon village somewhere? I don't know about that. Please, anything. It is to be honest. It's called Shibuya. But yeah, I feel like I've
It's got to finish up. You're kind of in the end game now. It's not doing so planned reviews, I guess. The end game. What are you going to do? It's kind of the end game. Scratch the last one. On the summit of Mount Fuji. Like, fuck. Yeah, I don't know. I think, but there's still lots of place in prefatures. You know, I've only passed through some of those prefatures and there's still lots of things to see and do. Yeah.
Is it getting hard to find video topics, though, or do you still feel like you've gotten abundance? No, I feel like there's still an endless amount. Like, I've only just made a video yesterday on Asakusa, the district in Tokyo. Really? The most tourist in Japan go to. It's the most popular spot. It's fucking awful when there's tourists there. It can be, it can be. But it's a beautiful part of town. Well, Takista's fucking horrible when there's tourists. That's the shrine, right? Yeah, yeah, Sensoji Temple. You also, like, can't take pictures of that and post them online or something. We were filming, and the security guards sort of wandered up and just came into shot behind us.
And we were like, oh, fucking, we can't film here. Luckily, we got away with it just in time before we turned up. Apparently, you get fined, though. We didn't get fined. Well, if you post it. So, we'll see. Bring it on. Bring it on. That sucks, sir. No, don't. Please don't. It's a promotional video. Trying to promote you guys. Trying to help you out. I don't know why they would do that. It seems a bit of an odd. Because Japan's so weird about filming walls. Yeah, for a massive tourist thing, you know.
- Yeah, you don't think there's like hundreds of tourists taking pictures of it, right? - Yeah, because like the Eiffel Tower is like private property that you technically, you know, you can't actually take pictures of. - Really? - For commercial use. But they do all the time 'cause it's just a fucking- - There's nothing stopping them, right? - Yeah, I mean, you can't regulate that. It's literally in the skyline. - Well, Japan is like bet.
- It's really weird about filming laws. Like have you ever been to a Japanese concert or Japanese like music? - I've been to a concert, but I haven't, they don't let you film it, do they? - No, no, no. - They don't let you film it at all. - It's really like looked down upon to like film a concert, a live concert. - I wouldn't mind that to be honest.
and live in the moment, innit? - They're pretty good about it, actually. - You can't even relive the moment for yourself. - When I did the documentary on Hyde, the rockstar guy, nobody took out their phone. You could see no one. Apart from the end, when he gets everyone out to put the lights on their phone, create a sea of light.
- They're pretty damn strict on that. - I don't mind that though. - But the reason they do that is so that they get you to buy the DVD. - Yeah, yeah. - Right, so it's like, it's just a promotional tool, isn't it? - I'm supposed to be some spiritual jammer. - No. - I have to appreciate the artist. - Yeah. - You have to live in the moment. - Just buy our fucking merch. Buy our DVD and Blu-ray. - Buy our DVD, it's literally that. - Buy our Betamax at this concert. - Hyde had a credit card, the Hyde credit card. - What? - It's merchandise off the charts. - What the fuck? - I get so much money from it. I was really impressed.
- Well, yeah, he's selling fucking credit cards. - Where's the Abroad in Japan credit card? - We've got like top 14 iTunes. Take that. - Credit card coming soon.
- I bought a Japan credit card. - Yeah, that's what I want. - It'd be a shit show. What would it do? - It's a credit card, what do you mean? - It's a credit card. - It doesn't do anything, it's got your face on it. - Perfect. The entire card is just that face. I got approached by a company once to make a Natsuki doll and you'd squeeze it and it'd be like, "Go fuck yourself." Why did you not say yes to that? - Sounds like a genius idea. - I don't know, I didn't want to exploit Natsuki.
- I think he wanted to be exposed. - I asked him, he was like, "Yeah, why haven't we done it?" I was like, "Oh shit." So I might still do it. I might still do it. - Now you've said it now, you're never gonna hit the end. - You don't want the Natsuki to OD, ladies and gentlemen. - Are you kidding me?
- I want an ASCII ball. - I want one as well. - Yeah. - Go fuck yourself. - It needs to be like you squeeze it and it's like, yeah, it's like a random sort of quotes, right? - 20 quotes. - That's easy. Why would you not do that? It's such low hanging fruit. - They wanted to take over all my merchandise and I said, no. - Oh, okay. - So I thought, well, I'll steal that idea. - Yeah, I'm sure you could find a manufacturer that can do that for you. - Somebody help me. Email me. - Sorry, we were talking about filming in a...
- Asakusa? - Talk about merchandise. - Fuck that. I don't wanna talk about your fucking merch. - Oh, Asakusa, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. So, I mean, there's still places that I haven't been to that are very easy picking, so Asakusa. - Yeah, I feel like Japan is just like a fucking gold mine of weird and wonderful places. - I just like to find the kind of unique stuff. - Yeah, yeah. - I went to a place with just replica Easter Island heads in Hokkaido.
like 20 Easter Island heads yeah yeah it's a cemetery and they were thought how can we respect the dead Easter Island heads and it kind of it's pretty cool and it's like to scale it looked normal it had massive face masks on it
- So this video is just like about the area? - Yeah, pretty much. - Is it harder to do that when there's so many interesting things in a place? - That seems like a video idea you would have done when you first came. - So I did it with Ryotaro and we tried to find retro places, kind of unique places that are kind of old Showa era places. - Did you wear a kimono? - You bet I didn't.
Not like you, mate. Isn't there a photo of you in front of Sensoji with the kimono? Yeah, so when we went to do the Kawari Smashing, which is right next to Saksa, Kano was like, let's just wear kimonos.
It did look worryingly good on me. Thanks, man. In a way that I can't do. Because it just makes me look round. You'd look like a land baron. It would shoot you. Oh, yeah. My property is just over here. It looks so... Like, kimonos look so bad on me every time I do a video. Sometimes people get annoyed about it as well, which is really fucking stupid, I think.
- Oh, what, 'cause it's like appropriation or whatever. - They don't give a shit. - I don't know, I had to look at that photo of you and think cultural appropriation. How dare he? - I fucking splashed my eye with water there. - I thought that was Connor spitting. - 'Cause he saw a turn as he did it. - Spitting on gum. What's trash taste become? - Spit on gum.
- What are you talking about? - The whole cultural appropriation. - I don't get that. - No, I don't. I think people want to get angry about it online. - Of course they do. As long as you're respectful. Don't wear it like going to McDonald's in it, which you probably wouldn't do. - Yeah, you probably did. - We went to Starbucks with it, actually. That was Cara's idea. - I think as long as you're respectful when you're wearing it. - Yeah, of course. I mean, it's one of those things where I find if you're not being a dickhead and not running around or spilling shit on it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think the only time I was
was in the sort of cultural appropriation camp on that front was when Kim Kardashian had the kimono underwear. And like, you know, you could foresee a future 10 years down the line had she followed through where like kids might have been like, oh yeah, the kimono, it's Kim Kardashian's brand. Without any historical context or cultural context about it. I agree with that. That I'd consider cultural appropriation. Yeah, absolutely. And just full-blown country.
And yeah, I was kind of, and like, loads of Japanese women were like, "Don't take that name and then ruin it, "drank it from the dirt." And I was like, yeah. - That's fair enough. - Yeah, absolutely. - I often find that, especially in Asian countries, people here seem to like, are happy to have you kind of adopt their culture. - Oh, they love it if you wear the kimono. - Yeah, but I mean, that's how like the whole Nihongo Jozu thing really like happened, right? Because you speak one word of Japanese and everyone's just like, "Nihongo Jozu, well done!"
- They're part of our culture, finally. - It's funny, right? Because it's to us now, we hear like to explain, whenever you speak like any Japanese, like,
you could be ordering food or something, right? And a Japanese person will say, "Nihongo Josu." Even if you just fucking said like- - If you said hi. - If you said arigato or something in the worst Japanese accent, they would say like, "Oh, Nihongo Josu." But I feel like they do that because they're just so happy that a foreigner took the time to learn their language. - They're like, "Why would they learn our language?" - Yeah, yeah. And I feel like it's more towards Asian culture in general. 'Cause did I tell you guys that I got Thai Josued?
- No. - Here in Japan? - No. - Okay, so I didn't even know that we could get Taijozu'd, right? But like, yeah, I was- - Taijozu. - It sounds like a martial art. - Taijozu. - It wasn't literally Taijozu, but like, I didn't even think about it 'cause like Nyong'o Jozu is like kind of a meme for anyone foreign living in Japan 'cause we hear it so fucking often. And so I went to a Thai restaurant
and it was a Thai restaurant, Thai staff, Thai cook and everything. And I was like, great. It was just like home again. - The authentic shit. - The authentic shit, right? - Hell yeah. - And so the waitress comes to take my order and I order Pad Kra Pao and green curry, Gang Kyo Wan. And she goes, "Oh, Thai Gang Mak na."
- Which is the closest thing I could- - The Thai equivalent of Nihongo Josu. - Yeah, yeah, which is the Thai equivalent to Thai Josu. And I was like, I didn't even know that this could be a thing until I heard it. And I'm just like- - Bro, I'm Thai. - Lady, I literally just fucking ordered a green curry. - I would like a pad Thai. Wow, your Thai is amazing. Thai Josu. - But like, yeah, I think about it and it's just because
especially in Thailand or in Japan, people were just happy to just any foreigners kind of adopting their language or having a go at like that culture or whatever. - It's strange, isn't it? 'Cause like the opposite doesn't really work for like English speaking countries. - I mean, I get very excited when anyone mentions Wales in any capacity outside of Chris. - Have you seen cultural appropriation of Wales?
- Fucking sheep, what do you mean? You can't really, I mean, just if anyone shows any interest in it, I'm like, oh, that's awesome. - But like, you don't see like, you know, a Japanese couple going to the UK and them going up, you know, going to fucking Tesco's and being like, hello. And they're going, oh, your English is so fucking good. - It's funny, right? - They go around like the castles and just take pictures. And I'm like, oh yeah, I guess that is pretty cool. - I'll tell you, I'm quarter Welsh, by the way. - No, you're not. - I'm one of your people. - No, you're not. - 25%. - You're not one of me.
- I refuse, I refuse to believe it. - Family name is Pugh, P-U-G-H. - Oh God, that is actually wild. - I like it, we're the same. You're basically related. - This is what happens when you stray from the path of Wales. You become Chris Broad. - You escape. - You become cultural appropriation. - You become Chris Broad if you stray from the path of Wales. - How did you feel going to that Welsh city?
I think it's awesome. You know, because the, you know, unlike Japanese, like Welsh culture got like fucking obliterated by the English. They pretty much, they made it like almost illegal to speak Welsh in Wales for a very long time. You get punished if you spoke Welsh. So, you know, when there's anything kind of even remotely Welsh, I think they're quite proud because I'm like,
nobody gives a fuck. So it's awesome to see someone who gives a fuck. - Yeah, 'cause it's so weird 'cause normally when people think of Wales, they just think of like the UK in general. - It is very different in many ways, I think. You know, we still have Greg's, we still have Betfred and depressing shit, but like the houses look very different most of the time, depending on where you go. - I mean, people forget that Wales have just their own language. - Yeah, yeah. Some people think it's a city in England for fuck's sake, which is depressing. - Wales is my city.
Well, I think there was a quiz that they asked like Americans about famous English towns and they kept listing Wales as a city. Some people in the survey...
- Oh no. - You know what I mean? 'Cause it doesn't happen in Scotland. Everyone knows Scotland, everyone knows Ireland because everyone in fucking America insists they're Irish. - Yeah, exactly. - So it doesn't happen, but nobody's Welsh, nobody gives a shit about it. So it's really good to see what someone does. The only time I ever got any conversation about it was when people watched "The Fucking Crown" and they were like, "Oh, he spoke that funny language "that you speak in the third season." I'm like, "Thanks."
- You've got like one episode and they fucked off and they never spoke about it again. - It was like one of the most depressing episodes. - It's pretty fucking depressing. It's weird, it's weird. It's pretty fucking tragic. We have a Prince of Wales that doesn't come to fucking Wales. - I mean, you must be in the top sort of 10 most successful Welsh people in the world. - Out of 17. - That's a depressing thought, isn't it?
- You're up there with Tom James probably with Global Reach. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - I mean, I don't know any other Welshman. - Catherine Zeta-Jones? - You, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tom James? - Christian Bale? - Christian Bale, Gareth Bale, sorry. - Christian Bale. - Oh, Christian Bale is, yeah, but he's like a weird kind of- - He's not Welsh, is he? - I think he's Welsh. - Is he Welsh? - I think so. - I think he was born in Wales, but raised in London. - Anthony Hopkins. - Anthony Hopkins. Christopher Ellis, the guy who plays Lucifer. - Oh, really?
- He's Welsh? - You were up there with them. - See all these people I thought. - And Seadog VA. - Anthony Hopkins, Oscar winning actor and Seadog VA, member of the Trash Taste podcast. - I thought all those people were British. - If you go to Anthony Hopkins Twitter, he's always tweeting Welsh.
- Really? - I think he speaks Welsh. I think so. - Oh. - 'Cause he's always tweeting a lot. - Does he follow you on Twitter? - Certainly not. That's the goal. - He tweeted over. - I thought all those- - No, when I get verified, he'll- - Yeah, yeah, when you get verified, Andy. He's like, "All right, you earned it." - This episode is sponsored by Crunchyroll.

- Girlfriend. - Amazing. - Back to the episode. - There's two people at this table that are verified and two people that aren't. - Yeah, unfortunate. - It's a sick world we live in. What do I have to do to get verified? - I mean, how didn't you get verified? - I don't know. - You got verified on Instagram immediately though.
- To be fair, given that you have an article coming out every week about you and your guides, what the fuck went wrong? How did you fail? - What did you submit? - I submitted, they were like, submit an article or Wikipedia page. I was like, Wikipedia? Because there were like 25 articles linked in, right? - That's a mistake you guys made. - Well, apparently. - So me and Chris both did Wikipedia submission for verification and Garnt did the articles.
- Because I didn't have a Wikipedia. - Garnt's the only one who got it. - Yeah. - It's wild though, not to like slight anyone, but I see people with like 10,000 followers who have like one acting credit get verified. - I mean, 'cause if you look at the- - It's really bizarre. - Yeah, if you look at the specs that you need to get verified, it's like you literally have to have like a page on IMDB, instant verification or like,
or like any kind of like articles written about you. But like a Wikipedia, I think it's just like- - Anyone can write a Wikipedia. - "Trust Ace Podcast" is an IMDB listed show. - Yeah, but didn't get Twitter verified. - But didn't get Twitter verified.
- Can't believe it. - So now my goal is to get Trash Taste verified before you and you. - Yeah. - Well, he probably succeeded. - Well, he failed, so now I have a chance to reapply. - We have to wait a month. - I have a chance to reapply before- - Trash Taste is on the FCCJ now. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. - That's what we got to submit, right? - Exactly. - Oh, good God. - Just submit that video and we're good. - The dream is we're all verified and Chris isn't. - Yeah. - That would truly be- - It could become a reality in the next month. - Because when I,
When Chris hit 2 million subscribers on YouTube and I hadn't hit 2 million yet, he never let me hear the end of it. Every time we did anything, anytime something happened to Chris, he'd be like, 2 million subs, isn't it? They just want 2 million subs.
- Why do you get the big bad? Oh, it's two million subscribers. - What an asshole. - He's joking, but he is a cunt. - He's joking, but he is a cunt. - Imagine having two million subscribers. - Oh, wow. - Couldn't be me. - Look at this guy. - How many years did it take on, sorry? - I'll get there, I'll get there. - We'll all get there. - We'll all get there soon enough. - I'll make it only for us. - It will all get there eventually. It's a matter of who first, right?
'Cause we all know how all this shit goes. Whoever gets verified first, the other person will not hear the end of it. - I would rather end my YouTube career than have Chris verify for me. - You can apply for it before I can. - Yeah, exactly. - So you've got a pretty big chance. - Yeah, but what if I don't get it again? - I hope you don't.
Because if he gets it, I am never gonna hear the end of it. - I'm gonna use my contact book to meet Jack Dorsey. - What contact book? - It's a great contact book. I'm gonna meet Jack Dorsey and be like, "Don't get C-Dog VA verified." He'll be like, "Yeah, right." - The only thing I have above Chris right now is the fact that I'm Twitter verified. He went sharp about it. - If you could've rung up Jack Dorsey to get me not verified, why didn't you ring him up to get you verified? - Yeah, he's a busy man. Don't wanna take up too much time. - 'Cause Jack's like, "One at a time, one at a time."
- Which do you prefer? You verified or Connor not verified? - Chris is the kind of guy who would rather be like Connor not verified. - Yeah, yeah. - It's disappointing. But yeah, it's gonna happen. - You'll get there eventually. - One time when I was a kid. - Oh God. - Go on. - I didn't realize rams were dangerous. - Rams? - Yeah, rams are pretty fucking dangerous. - Rams? - What's rams? - It's a ram. - What's rams? - Oh, you mean like a-
- Like a male sheep. - Oh, I- - No, wait, no, that's not a ram. - What? What's a ram? - Random access memory. - It's like a sheep that looks like a sheep, but it's got fucking curly horns. - It's the sheep with the massive curly horns. - Ooh, that's one big horn. - And you've been having a go at me all day with my video game knowledge. You need to know fundamental farmyard animal knowledge. - God discovers what a ram is. - God bless his ram. - I don't know.
- I thought they were just called sheep. - Sheep with horns? - Yeah, sheep with horns, right? - It's called a fucking ram. - I have no fucking clue. - Very creatively named, a ram. - What do we call those creatures that ram into things? - I didn't know they were dangerous when I was a kid. - What the fuck do you mean you didn't? It's called a ram. - Yeah, I bet when you were a kid you just thought- - It's called a sheep. - I watched like Disney and shit, so I just thought every animal was like kind and shit, except for like tigers and stuff. But I was like, we don't do that.
- I thought it was a- - We don't do tigers. - Tigers of Wales. - Well, in England, you're kind of taught that like nothing's dangerous. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You see, you'd be able to like, you know, chill out with the sheep and like just hang out with them when you're a kid, just go and pet them and stuff. So I went into like this like gated off thing
that was full of ram, like 20 of them. And I started feeding them grass, like in front of them, like in the cage with them. - And you just got fucked? - No, they just left me alone. But then when I was doing it, I was like, I don't know why I'm telling this story, but there was like 15 ram around me. I was just feeding them grass, picking it up. And then some guy, some like really, really English-speaking guy was like, "What are you doing in that cage, sir?" And it just reminded me of Chris. He looked like Chris a little. - 30 years, baby. - He was like, yeah, like the kind of like the cheeks.
"What are you doing in this cage?" He's like, "Young man, what are you doing in this cage?" - Sorry, it's just sake. - Yeah, and apparently they could easily have killed me. - Wow. - Could they? - Oh yeah, easily. They're pretty fucking dangerous. - How?
'Cause they ram you with their horns. They like stomp on you and like ram you. - I didn't think there was anything in the fucking UK that could like any wildlife in the UK that was capable of murder. - People die to cows, you know. - Do they? - Yeah, cows can kill you. They won't, but they can. - How? - What if a cow just lies on you? - Well, yeah.
- What if he's just sleeping in- - What are you doing lying under a cow? - Trying to get some milk. - Sometimes you might be petting and stroking a cow and it will literally just go like, "Dush." - No it won't. - It will. - No it won't. - It will. - I shit you not. - This is stupid. - You've taken the most-
- The most dangerous animal in the UK is a cow. - How many people die from a cow? Dude, their bite as well will rip your hand clean off. Like if you feed them like- - Fuck off. - Are you kidding me? Have you seen their mouth? - Well don't shove your hand into a cow's mouth. - You would be surprised about people that see a cow and just want to feed it shit with their like hand. - That's all related to that stuff.
- I'm not saying that going around the fucking street in gangs fucking killing you. No, they can kill you. It's not impossible. - Anything can kill you. - 20 people died last year. - Anything can kill you. - Yeah, anything can technically kill you, but I'm not like having a nap under a cow and like hoping it doesn't fucking fall on me. - You are more likely to die from a cow than a plane. - I'm speechless.
- I have nothing to answer this. - Don't fucking feed a cow. Don't be a dickhead. - You might die. - That's why we don't feed cows. - Talking about animals that are fucking cunts. - What are we talking about that? - I just, we're going on this weird fucking tangent now, but why does fucking everyone idolize swans or like,
- Why are swans? - I'm pretty sure swans are known as like pretty fucking violent. - Okay, because like, because I grew up like, you know, I grew up with this image that, you know, swans were these majestic fucking birds. They're the queen's bird, you know? Like, isn't it true that like the queen owns every swan? - Yeah, every swan. - But they're such fucking cunts. - Why are you laughing at that? - Well, they're like geese, aren't they? Like, you know, they look fine. - Well geese are OP swans.
- Have you seen their mouths? - It's like a serrated cylinder. - It's terrifying. - It's insane. - Swans are nerfed geese. - No, because swans, I remember my first memory of a swan, 'cause I thought it was just like a beautiful looking duck. And ducks are cool. Ducks are nice and friendly. Ducks are cute as fuck. So as a four year old kid, I remember looking at the swan, I was like, that kind of looks like a duck.
Like let's try feeding it, see what happens. Like, so I get close to it with like the bird food. Fucking starts like fucking jabbing my nose and like fucking attacking me. - I love it when they like open their wings. - I don't know why it just reminded me of that video you showed me. What was it called? It was like the video title was literally called ducks annihilating a bowl of peas. It's literally just what the video says. It's like this 30 second video of this guy with just a bowl of peas.
and these two ducks come and they literally annihilate this ball of peas. - It's just the word annihilate. 'Cause you're like, what the fuck are you talking about? Ducks can't annihilate a ball of peas. You see this video and like, holy fucking shit. - They annihilated it. - Please look it up, it's hilarious. - I knew it'd go away for talking about Krakatoa. We're talking about ducks eating some peas. - What do you wanna talk about, Chris? What are you gonna talk about? - That's not Krakatoa. - What do you wanna talk about, Chris? - I don't know anymore. I just don't know.
- What's been on your mind lately? - Everything. - Tell me what's been on your mind. - Ducks and peas. - Tell me what's been on your mind. - Ducks and peas. - Where agony aunt Connor, I don't think so. The worst agony aunt, he's the fucking uncle, agony uncle more like. - Me. - Yeah, horrible. - What animal are you afraid of?
- I don't know. - 'Cause to me it sounds like you're afraid of every animal. - No, I love all animals except horses. - You're afraid of fucking horses. If they're fucking gonna kick you in the face, yeah. - Anything can kick you in the face. - And it'll probably hurt. - And it can lie on you and you'd probably die. - One is more likely to kill you, a horse kicking your face or a cow lying on you. - Scare ways to die by farmyard animal. It's the debate that needs to happen. Pigs with shotguns next.
- Can pigs kill you? - Can what? - Can pigs kill you? - You can die to like boars and stuff. - Actually yeah, boars are really dangerous. - In Japan they're really dangerous. - In Inari shrines. - Boars are just angry pigs. - Pigs are just nerfed boars. - That's what they are, they're just angrier pigs. - Angrier, hairier pigs. - When are you gonna kill a bear on a broad in Japan? - Beating a bear? - Yeah, you did half the process there. You should have done it yourself.
- Okay. - What is he fucking bucky? - Don't think that would last very long to be honest, my track record. - Well, I mean, 'cause you, wait, 'cause how did you have the beer? Like how was it prepared? That just sounds so wrong. - It was stolen from the mother. - Did you hear about that brown bear that like took on a military base in Hokkaido? - Took on a military? What the fuck?
- It was like a Terminator bear. - Did it win? - This bear went on a rampage through Hokkaido. - Holy shit. - And it started going into a military base and they had to take it down. - Sounds like a fucking Hollywood movie or something. - Seriously. - One bear. Japanese military. - I wanna Google this. - Who will win? - Oh, my phone's upstairs. - People died against this bear. - Jesus Christ. - In Hokkaido, the brown bears are terrifying. They just eat people. Like a whole campsite got eaten once.
people sleep in bear comes in well coordinated attack from the bears Jesus pretty clever on the mainland we have black bears and you know people punch them in the face from their attack what there's a story of like a someone an old woman working an old man working at an Almorey
- Apple orchard. - Oh shit. - A little bear came in and was like, "I'll have an apple." And this man was like, "Pfft." And the bear was like, "Oh shit." And ran away. - Yeah, 'cause the nose is like the weak spot. So if you just punch it, then like- - And black bears- - The bear's just like, "Oh, what the fuck?" - No, black bears are kind of small. But the brown bears, if you did that, they'd rip your fucking arm off. - So they made like a Death Star weakness on the black bears where you just poke it and they're just fucking- - Pretty wild. Effectively. - Just to get a pencil and they're fucking terrified. Like, "What are you gonna do? Poke it?"
- Just shake the bear in the nose. - And ask if you want to go Croydon. Bring the Croydon to the bear. - What are we talking about? - Oh God. - Bears, be careful. - Yeah, bears are scary. - What's he laughing about? - Bears, be careful.
Just fantastic advice from Chrissie. Just wondering. Bears, be careful. Next time I'll lure it into an acid sulfuric bath and see how the bear likes it. Apparently there's a ghost wolf near Mount Fuji that I want to go and discover.
Ghost wolf? There used to be wolves in Japan. You know, a few hundred years ago, they all got... Yeah, they all went extinct. No, they all went extinct. Yeah. Wow. Apparently, in a district near Mount Fuji, amongst the tallest mountains in the country, 3,000 metres, some nights you could hear like a howl of a wolf and they called it the ghost wolf. And I'm going to go and find it in a video. Or... Just discover a fucking... Trash say special and I'll do the drone.
You just want to use the drone. You just want to use the drone. Everything goes back to the drone and fucking crack a toe, doesn't it? Imagine one of you getting eaten in the drone shot. I come with the drone. By a ghost. A spectre. 360 drone shot. A special wolf. Connor's getting ripped apart by a wolf. Why is this a wolf, a ghost wolf? Because no one's seen it.
- Because all the wolves in Japan have gone extinct. - You want us to go and film a wolf that no one has ever seen. - I've heard it. - What are we gonna film? There's nothing fucking important. - We go into the fucking mountains with a baseball bat. - Or just redo some kind of like ghost hunter. I feel it, it's presence. - The ghost wolf is entering.
- You just have a fucking seance at the top of the mountain. - What are we gonna do with that video, Chris? Just walk around and be like, oh shit. Oh, it's trees. - It's good content and you know it is. - It's not fucking good. - It is. - No one's gonna watch it. - Best case, you find the wolf. - I cannot stand those horror videos where like, we're gonna go to someplace haunted and all they do is just like fucking scream and like nut everywhere every 10 seconds. The thought of a ghost. - Best case, you find the wolf, you get an Instagram selfie. Worst case, you find the wolf.
- I think that would be like international news. - We'd be fucking recognized as heroes of wolves. - Heroes of wolves. - Heroes of wolves. - The wolf heroes. - Do we have wolves in the UK? - No. - We should have foxes, right? - Yeah, we have foxes, which are just like virgin wolves. - Foxes just nerfed wolves. - Wolves are the sigma males.
But that is a Trash Taste special I wanna watch. - Why? - Hunting for the ghost wolf. - Three of you go off in separate directions, like Scooby-D. You're like, "I will go this way." - Oh, that always works out. - Yeah, yeah. - Let's just split up. - The walkie talkies are like, "Guys, I found it." - I saw some mountain people used to climb up in Japan, some horror video about it. They just, a bunch of people climbed up this mountain and just never came back. And they made like an SOS sign in like the mountain. - What? - And then they rescued someone.
and they're like, "Oh, we found you 'cause you have your SOS sign." They're like, "What SOS sign?" - Oh God. - Play scary music. - It's really fucking weird. - Yeah. - Someone else made it, apparently. - Too much volcano. - Those damn ghost wolves just making SOS signs. - I don't wanna go on any Japanese mountain alone. - Ghost wolves. - Do you believe in ghosts Connor?
Do you believe in ghost wolves? You seem like someone superstitious. No, I don't give a fuck. If ghosts exist, we would have some form of one-tenth of some proof. Well, we went in a haunted tunnel and people said they could hear a voice and there was like a weird silhouette. Yeah, because people are fucking stupid. Of course they fucking want to hear. They hear what they
- And there's a silhouette of Joey on the wall in the tunnel. - Yeah. - That was kind of creepy. - That was creepy. - Do we really think, right? Yeah, silhouette can be done by anything. Everything is explainable. I think people just want there to be something more because they take comfort in knowing that, you know, there's something just easily explains why they're dumb. If I don't know something, I'm like, I'm just dumb. I don't know what it is. It's definitely not a ghost. Do you think this mystical flying fuck, I would have no idea what it is. Why would I know?
Mystical flying fuck? Yeah. Some shadow or ghost. I don't know. Do you believe in ghosts, Chris? It's an MFF. Mystical flying fuck. Do you believe in ghosts? Good Lord, no. Did you see the whole... Oh, you tweeted about this. I swear, the UFO stuff, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, the NASA UFO stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of interesting. I think it's super fucking cool.
- Yeah, there's something there we so technologically advanced we can't get it. - I love how people, we just accepted that this was UFOs now, some nonsense. - Some nonsense. - The CIA was like, "Yes, so by the way, UFOs do exist."
don't panic, but we just don't know what it is. - Yeah. - That's literally a definition of a UFO. - Why is nobody freaking- - UFO stands for unidentified flying object. - And they couldn't identify it, therefore by definition, it is literally a UFO. - For like what, 80 years, we were like, that's a bunch of nonsense. Just a bunch of hearsay, you know, 'cause it would be like 1P or something, you know, we wouldn't have- - Are you talking about UFOs or are you talking about aliens? 'Cause there's plenty of UFOs in the history of earth.
that have just existed. - Yeah, but UFOs that do like weird shit, I guess, I don't know. - That's most UFOs. - No, but we don't really have anything that like before that was confirmed to be like actually like UFO. - How do you know though?
- Well, we didn't know until CIA told us that now there is apparently. - Well, in the report it says that there's these vehicles that move with- - I think in that report NASA was saying that like, yeah, we've known about this for like the past 50 years. The thing is if you- - They kept it a secret. - Yeah, they kept it a secret. - It's just weird that they're suddenly like, by the way, we all called you, we all made you look fucking crazy. - Well, they kind of say like soft disclosure. - I feel like it was just weird that nobody spoke about it. Nobody was like, oh, that's weird.
- Because we're so limited on the information. - How are we supposed to react to it? Because like, it's not the first time you've probably seen some weird fucking footage of some kind of USO. - It always looks so fake. - I guarantee majority of it is fake. - Yeah, 100%, all of it's fake. - I would think the majority of it is fake as well, but I'm sure like there are some that are on the same level as that CIA footage that just were real and no one can explain them.
Hence the term UFO. - Yeah, but it's normally synonymous with aliens though and stuff like that, right? So that's what it normally tend to would be in the same kind of... If someone was like, "I'm into UFOs." You're like, "Stay the fuck away."
- That's part of the problem, right? The stigma around it. - People who believe that shit normally like- - Same thing with ghosts, right? - Yeah. I'm sure there's aliens out there on some planet. If we manage to survive and do the weird shit that we're doing on earth, I'm sure- - I believe in like aliens and stuff, but I don't believe in those like fucking UFOs crash landed and onto earth and aliens came in contact with a farmer. - Do you believe in ghosts, Joey? - I do, yeah. - Why?
- 'Cause I've had like paranormal experiences myself. - Like what? - So one of the scariest ones I had was in Sydney, there's this place in Manly called the Quarantine Center. And it was during World War I, I think, was the place where like all the soldiers used to
stop by from overseas to get quarantined in case they have like illnesses and sickness and stuff like that. So a lot of people died at this place naturally, right? And they have like these like nighttime tours for this place that you can go and like, you can go to like the hospitals and like, it's very creepy stuff, right?
So I went with my sister once for her birthday, I think it was. And my sister has like this weird, I guess call it sixth sense, if you will. Take that how you will, right? Take that how you will. - Bruce Willis is quivering and jealous. - Yeah, take that how you will, but she has like that, whatever that is. And there was this one moment where she was inside, we were inside the hospital and I didn't have anything like that. I don't pretend to feel like, oh, I feel a ghost present or anything like that. I just find it fascinating.
But then we went into this like particular, like, I think it was like a nurse room and my sister just stopped and just immediately started breaking down crying. And I was like, what's wrong? Well, it's just a dark room. Like you've been through this entire hospital and it's this room where she just suddenly breaks down. She's like, I can't, I can't move past this point.
And she just couldn't explain it. She just felt something in this one particular room. And then later we found out that was the place where they would euthanize all the soldiers that couldn't survive whatever illness it was. So that's where all of the soldiers basically died. And I was like-
- Okay, look, like you can believe in like sixth sense and all that kind of shit all you want, but you have to admit that's pretty fucking terrifying. Especially when you're there in person. - I mean, you know, I don't really believe in any of that. I would just be like, that's just coincidence. - Well, I used to work at a haunted castle and my colleagues always said they saw a ghost. - No, they fucking didn't.
- Someone open a window and be like, "It's a ghostly presence." But no, it's a window. - It's just a draft, isn't it? - When we expect something to be there, our mind is the biggest fucking joke that's ever been played. Our mind tricks us in so many ways. - Of course, I'm sure there's moments where it's like, you just psych yourself out, right?
and you just think you've seen something because you're already in that mindset. There are some instances where I'm like, oh, that's actually kind of creepy. I don't know if it's a ghost, I don't know if it's sixth sense, but it's something. - Yeah, I mean, I think there is something there. There are too many things I feel that can't be explained, like the UFO, for example. - You don't go through an entire hospital and then immediately start breaking down
- I might if I went to a hospital known for trauma. - You could do that if your head space is there. - She might have seen so much. - But she was fine throughout the entire hospital, except for this one room. - Well, it might have been building up, but maybe. - It's like when people give like, people don't, the mind is a really fucking weird thing that we don't understand. You know, people give witness testimony at like trials and stuff and they 100% swear they saw stuff that they didn't see. - Yeah. - Right?
I don't know, I find that we like to be able to easily explain everything even when we have no explanations. Like we don't have an explanation, we're like, oh, it's ghost or some shit. I'm like, well, it's just another way for you to cope 'cause you want an explanation, you know? But maybe you just don't know. Maybe you don't have the capacity to know what that noise or what that thing is. - But I find it fascinating that we don't know, right? And that there is a mystery behind it that no one has really figured out. Is it just in your head or is there something there? - We're pretty fucking stupid
people in general. - Speak for yourself, man. - Humans are pretty stupid, right? - Speak for yourself, Conor. - Humans are very flawed, right? And I think it's also very flawless. Fuck off, Chris. You climb Mount Fuji in a t-shirt and shorts. - And I came back alive. - We're flawed, right? And for some reason we like to think that we can think of every single answer to everything. When we most certainly can fucking not. I mean, for how many fucking years we were just fighting with sticks and stones.
- Why aren't we Twitter verified? - I mean, that's the greatest fucking mystery of all. - It's ghosts. - It isn't mysteries of all. - You have those ghosts. - That is like top of my list. - Yeah, I don't know. - That's all mystery. - No, like I'm completely okay with people like, you know, believing in, like not believing in it. - Yeah, I don't even go, I won't shred them apart. - I don't force it, but sometimes people explain shit to me that I'm like, that's terrible shit. - No, like I can tell, like, you know, there are a lot of like these kinds of like mystical, mythical things where it's like, that's,
kind of too- - I feel like what's really muddied the water is just how some people have obviously monetized this. You see like these ghosts, these ghosts like reality TV shows. And I'm just like, this is just- - My sensation life. - Haunted investigators and stuff like that. - Yeah, I'm just like, how are you supposed to take this seriously anymore? But I felt like I've heard genuinely like things that just can't be explained. And I've also experienced some of that myself. So like, it's,
- It's kind of like, I don't think that I would blame anyone for not believing in ghosts, believing in ghosts. I just feel like the entire perception around it has been warped because of how these things have been presented and the reality TV shows around it. And the people you kind of see believing in these kinds of things, right? But I feel like- - Yeah, I absolutely don't blame people for seeing those shows and being like, "It's all bullshit." It's all a scam. - It's entertainment. - It's entertainment, it's whatever. But like, you know,
- I personally believe in it because it's more fun and interesting. Just think that, oh, there might be something there. - I don't know if I believe in UFOs. UFOs, there's nothing to believe in, they are real. If you say aliens, then that's a leap of faith. You're starting to make that. - Guaranteed, we're recording this right now. There's gonna be someone in the comment section that has a story that just can't be explained. - There will be, there always is. But then I also find that
I think that there's something in your life that makes you more likely to believe in them. Like there's something in your personality or emotional, something that happened in your life that tends to make you more likely to be receptive to that stuff. I don't know why I'm so fucking pessimistic and cynical. - You must be very fun at parties. - Now that we talk about it, but I know when this comes up, I just don't say anything.
'cause I know that this is one of those topics, people who believe in it, they're so emotional about it and so invested. - Yeah, I'm really not for people that are like that. - People get really offended when you're like, "How dare you?" And it's like, so I just stopped. I never, like, if I meet someone who's like, "I had this ghost experience," I'm like, "Oh, great." - Yeah, I mean, it's kind of like on the same level as like religion, right? Because obviously someone who believes in ghosts had a very personal experience and obviously that meant a lot to them. And it's like, obviously, you know, if they say their experience, it's kind of like, it's kind of a bit of a
- I don't wanna invalidate how anyone felt or experienced anything. But also on the other hand, you wanna be logical about things and you wanna try and- - I think healthy skepticism is good, right? Like just, I can't stand people- - I go to parties and I'm like, "You're wrong, your religion is shit, go home." - On the contrary though, I can't stand people who are like explain everything as like supernatural or ghosts or whatever. - Shit's so annoying. - And I'm just like, no, no, no.
I get some situations, but like, you know, you getting divorced with your wife was not because of the ghost. - There's nothing supernatural about that. - Oh, I'm divorced.
- You know, there's like people who like chuck away everything as like supernatural or like aliens did it. Those people I'm just like, all right, calm the fuck down. - Aliens did it. - Aliens made me cheat. - Oh God, I saw, have you seen that Louis Theroux clip? It's fucking awful. Do you know what I'm talking about? - Which one? - It's the one where he goes and visits like a family cult.
and it's like a whole religion container. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Do you know what I'm talking about? - The worst people in America or something? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the Westboro Baptist Church. It's like this one clip. I don't know what it's from, but there's a clip and it's titled, "Kerb, you're sleeping with daughter or something." - What?
- What the fuck? - Right, so you have to click on this, right? - Curb your sleep. - It's not even correct English. - It's something better than that. - I have dentist. From the man that brought us, I have dentist. - It's something like that, right? And it's Louis Theroux. He's in this room with this man and the whole family is there. And he's like, so,
why did you sleep with your daughter? And then he's like, well, you see, I was just on the floor and God compelled me to have her do that. And I'm like, and then he's like, God asked you to do that. And he's like,
- Yes, God asked you to do that. So the curb your music starts playing. It's terrible. It's like, oh God. That shit like that is when you're like, oh God, this whole spiritual religious stuff is- - Yeah, that's when it gets a little loony. - It's quite common though, but it's really easy to like brainwash if they are family, right? 'Cause you raised them.
So it's pretty fun. - Yeah, I mean, but that's like the extreme, right? I mean, I feel like most people in- - I was just throwing out a funny clip that maybe meph. - Honestly, just sleep with your daughter, curb your sleeping with your daughter. That's just an amazing title in and of itself. - It's just a very funny clip. I didn't do it justice at all. Please go watch it. - Is this in your series, I'll laugh, I'll pay you $150? - Yeah.
I got $150 from Connor last week on his Twitch stream. You made him laugh. I made him laugh. What did you show him? It was a Yoda clip of a guy doing like a Yoda joke. With a Yoda hand puppet.
It was actually, okay, it's really funny. Hey Thomas, what's a Jedi called? What was it? What's a fat Jedi use? A heavy shaver. And he laughed at that. And I got $150. I was so happy. He spent $80 trying to get me to laugh and he fucking won. I wanted to just take his money. I got a profit though. Yeah.
- You gambled right. - A heavy shaper. - I feel like the internet just like fucking ruins my sense of humor 'cause I don't even know what I find funny anymore. - Normal jokes, I just can't laugh at. I need like some funny sound screaming and someone getting hurt or something. - All three. - There's a lot of subreddits of people getting injured. I didn't realize there's so many subreddits for like people fighting.
like just mobile phone videos, people fighting. - I mean, that's like "Worldstar", right? - People love that shit. I didn't realize people love it. - I mean, I don't actively search for it, but whenever it pops up my Twitter feed, I'm like, all right, I got time. - I got 30 seconds to still watch it. - I like it when it's school kids fighting. I don't know why, 'cause it's so wholesome. - It's like a slapping contest. - They just slap each other. And then everyone's like, whoa!
in the background and then it's like, all right. - I think there's just something primal about it, right? That's why there's so many fights. I think it's just like, there's a reason why like there are so many fucking fights in clubs, right? - I look at that like how uncivilized. - No, exactly bro. There's a reason why there are so many fucking fights in clubs, right? Because you put a bunch of guys, they get drunk and they like learn, like they live on their primal instincts.
So what are they gonna do? They're either gonna get horny or wanna start a fight, which is the two fucking things that happens in clubs. So if they can't get with the girl, most of the time a fight happens. - Yeah, it's our hands, yeah. - Yeah, exactly. - Fair enough. - Can't be helped. - Logic. - Logic. - Chris walks into the club, just starts punching everyone. - I remember when I was like 18, I got in a fight with a bouncer 'cause I lost 10 pounds.
It was a lay point. A lay point. How did you lose the 10 pounds? So I went around this club being like, so I've lost it. I was really drunk. So I've lost a 10. I've never even seen it. You are not getting that back. And then eventually the balance was like, it's time to leave now. So I've lost 10 pounds. I've got to find it. And he was like, you've got to get out. And then he grabbed me and threw me out like a toy. And I got back to my apartment.
- Stripped off of the 10 pounds, just fell out. Started a war with an entire nightclub for 10 pounds. I mean, as an 18 year old with no money, that was like all my life saving. - Two thousand ten quid is a lot when you're- - Yeah, that's a lot. - You guys ever been thrown out of clubs?
- Luckily not. - I guess that time I was Fortnite dancing, but that's about it. - Oh yeah, that's about it, right? I think I've been thrown out of one club. - Were you too drunk? - Huh? - Were you too drunk? - Yeah, so this is, of course this was in university, right? And I think this was like right, like not freshers week, but like week two of freshers week.
And of course you have the pre-lash, right? You get drunk. And you know, back when you're fucking 18, you don't fucking know your limits. - Yeah, of course. - You just drink as much as you want, right? - Lose a tenner, start questioning everyone. - Yeah, exactly. - Start a war with that tenner, like Helen of Troy. - Exactly. - And also as a uni student, you try to get drunk as efficiently as you can, 'cause you don't have the fucking money to get drunk at clubs, right? So, I mean, it was still a student night, but I didn't want to spend money to get drinks. So had like fucking,
four, five, six beers before going to the club. And you know, as a student, I always had like a bottle of like, half bottle of cheap vodka, you know, just to like top yourself off. - As you do. - Top yourself off with a bottle of vodka, what the fuck? - No, just to keep yourself drunk, right? Because there's no more efficient way to get- - Keep the tank full, you know? - Yeah, exactly, there's no more efficient way to get drunk as a student. - Just get like the one pound shots or something, you know, just ask for like one shot. - It wasn't one pound shots in fucking Bristol, man, I'll tell you that. - One pound shots in Swansea. - Of course it's in fucking Swansea, man.
- Everything is one pound. - Yeah, but like, so I had this half bottle of vodka, cheap vodka, probably like Chekhov vodka. It wasn't Smirnoff. - No. - Plastic bottle? - Of course, of course, plastic bottle. - Basically hand sanitizer, isn't it? - And so we get to the club and we realize that people are checking, the bouncers are checking pockets for anyone like in my situation who's trying to sneak in some bottle of vodka. And I was like, well, shit, I have to dispose of this somehow.
And by this point, by the time I've gotten to this club, it was already half drunk. So it was like about a quarter liter of vodka left. And my mate goes, "Just hide it around the corner next to the dumpster in case you want it." And I'm like, "I got a better idea. I'm gonna do a pro gamer move." And I fucking downed the thing. So I fucking downed this thing, right? And I was like,
I'm a fucking pro, right? - Five minutes, you'll be fucked. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So get in the club, completely fine, not even drunk. Go, go to the bar, get my first drink. I'm like having a fucking amazing time. And so I'm in the middle of the dance floor and like,
- It just like, there wasn't a transition, right? You know how sometimes you have like a cool transition where it's just like, you go from merry to drunk to absolutely pissed. I went from like tier one to tier 10 in like a matter of a second. - It was like Hitchcock's Zoom. It's like boom. - I was literally on the dance floor and then I was like, fuck, everything's spinning. Everything's spinning. - Holy shit.
And so I'd never been this drunk in my life probably. And I was this drunk for the first time in my life in a club. And I'm just like, I'm a smart boy. I am an electronic engineer. I am not gonna let anyone know that I'm fucking drunk. So without talking to my friends or anyone, I fucking go to the nearest table I could
And it was like right opposite the bar. And like, I was, the room was like fucking spinning around me. It took every ounce of energy to not like topple over. But I somehow managed to get to this table and not topple over. And I'm just like, I'm going to wait this out. I thought I could wait this out, right? So there was- - A bottle of water will fix it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I sit on this table and there's just this glass of water there, right?
And because the room is fucking spinning around me, I just fucking stare at this water. Like this is me using 100% of my brain. This is like the mind expands moment where like, I can game the system. Nobody's gonna ever know I'm fucking drunk. So I'm fucking staring at this water fucking intently, just trying to keep my focus on something. So the room just stops spinning around me and I could just like focus on something. And then five minute passes.
And so I feel a tap on my shoulder and it's a fucking bouncer. And he's like, "Mate, you gotta fucking go out." And I was like, "Why, what have I done? I've just been sitting here." And he's like, "You've been sitting there for an hour and a half staring at that glass of water." - Holy shit. - So, what felt like five minutes, I had been just like sitting like fucking eyes open staring at this glass of water for an hour and a half doing this.
- Sounds almost like time travel. - Yeah, you did. - Time travel discovery. - He channeled his monk way and time fly. - He went into a seance. - I used to, you know, I totally forgot it existed, but I used to like take a canteen in. - Like an old general. - Yeah. - Oh, like the little twisty. - I need my whiskey. - Big brain, they can't find it. If you like, I just like attach it to my pants, like inside. - Attach it to your pants? - Yeah.
- Just put it in my pants. - Pretty sure that's how people had guns. - Put it in my pants and then whenever you like order a vodka, you just like top it up, put it in. But you're a student and this drinks like three pounds and I was like, oh my God, this is robbery back then. 'Cause you know, if I spent more than like $10 a night, I'd be like, I'm broke. - Yeah, of course. - So I had to find ways. So I would just fill up a canteen full of vodka and then I asked my friends if they want some too and I just.
- Everyone loved me. - What a role model. - Connor can make my double vodka into a quadruple vodka. - With his personal stash. - That's a life hack to any students out there after the world stops ending. - Don't do it now. - It's depressing if you do it now. - Canteen in your pants. - Yeah, do it. - I had a canteen in my pants. That was like the life hack in university. - No one else I knew did it. Everyone thought it was weirdo for buying a canteen. - Connor thought he was like,
- You've ever done that where you've figured out something on your own and you find out that like everyone's been doing it on the internet and you feel like a fucking loser. You figure out something, you're like, I'm so fucking smart. And then you find everyone else has done it. Anything like that, Chris, in your life? - I'm the only one. - Never figured out anything. - It's my original idea every time. - Like what? - Like Mount Fuji. - No one's ever done that in shorts. - No one's done that in shorts. - No one's done that before in shorts. It's unheard of.
- How many fucking tangents have we gone on this episode? - This has been tangent the episode. - There's more tangent than episode. - Go and watch the newest episode and final episode of "Journey Across Japan." - Yeah. - Which should be out around this time. - And go listen to "Too Much Volcano" on iTunes. - Hey, S-O.
