01:55:41 Share

- All right, anyway. Hey, what's up everyone? Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to another Trash Taste Awards. - Welcome, welcome. - The fourth annual Trash Taste Awards. - I can't believe we've made it to the fourth one already. - We've got to have like entered like long territory. As far as YouTube applies.

- Yeah, exactly. - Let me pour you boys some champagne to celebrate. - This is the first- - That's the worst pour I've ever seen in my fucking life. - What is that? Actually, that might be a good pour. I don't know. There's probably some wine experts out there being like, ooh. - Actually, that is the- - I think it's gonna be all head though on the initial pour. I know some had it- - I mean, this thing is fizzy as fuck. What do you expect? - Do you know how much to fill it up? - About that?

- A little too much. - Too much? - All the way baby, all the way. - To the brim! - Let me do a Bissinger pour. - You need to know, you need to make it seem like you know. - Do you want a normal pour or a Bissinger pour? - I'll take a normal pour. - All right, take that normal. - 'Cause I don't actually wanna drink that much. - There's so much.

- We got a two hour show to do. - Yeah. - Oh, it's yours. Okay, got it. - All right, all right. But welcome to the fourth annual Trash Taste Awards where we kind of just- - Congratulate ourselves. - Suck our own dicks. We truly embrace the JoJo fan within us. - We like to celebrate the successes and the longevity of a successful show. - What he said. - Yeah, whatever he said. It's just an excuse for me to drink champagne. - Cheers, cheers. - Cheers, boys. - Another year. - Another year.

And this is, I guess, the first year that- - That's pretty awful champagne. Sorry, sorry. - This is incredible. This is incredible champagne. What are you talking about? - Oh God, okay. That's bad. - It's pretty bad.

- It's really like sour. - But this is the first awards where we have broken a streak because it is not on episode, it is not on a nice round number. - So we saw all of your comments, we saw all of your Reddit posts, "Guys, it's episode 200, "shouldn't it be the award show?" Well, we realized there is more than 50 weeks in a year. So if we kept going with the every 50 episodes, then the 17th one will be like,

within the same year. - Yeah, we realized we were already at least like four to six episodes out. - Yeah. - Not really come from the second year over. So this is episode 204, right? Correct? - Something like that. - Something like that. - Something like that. - I don't know, but we're delivering. We're gonna give you guys the awards as per usual. We asked you guys to vote on a bunch of categories and yeah.

- If you are unfamiliar with the awards, for some reason this is the first time you're watching an award. Basically we just compile all the moments of the previous podcast episodes this year and have you guys vote on the category from hottest take to shittest take to most incorrect. - Well, we have a bunch of categories. So why don't we actually read off all the categories for this year. - Some of these are returning favorites and some of these are new categories 'cause we tried to tailor it to whatever the highlights

of whatever happened on that year of our podcasting. - All right, so let's go through the categories. So we have hot take of the year, best out of context clip, screen grab of the year, most degenerative moment. We have a brand new one here, which is the best.

- Degenerative? Did I say degenerative? - Degenerative. - Degenerative. - Degenerative. - This ain't a math class, Joey. - Most degenerative. Most degenerative moment. We have a brand new one here, which is a Patreon one. The best Patreon episode, because if you guys don't know, from this year we started weekly exclusive Patreon videos. So the patrons got to vote on that one. We have the best bro should not have let him cook moment. That's a new one. Biggest copium moment. - That's a new one as well. - That's also a new one. Saltiest moment. Most monkey moment.

of pocket conversation, which I think is a new one. - That's a new one, yeah. - Wildest guest episode. We have the best story, biggest clown, biggest Chad, biggest W of the year, best meme, best Mudan fact check because we made Mudan do some work this year. Best drip, best argument, most privileged moment, the I made it the fuck up award, best TT special of the year. And of course ending it off on the best TT episode of the year.

- That is a lot of categories. - That is a lot of categories. - What's happened in the last year? And a lot of it, I was going through the nominations and I was like, "Holy fuck, I forgot this happened this year in podcasting." - This is why I love the awards because it reminds me of all of the really dumb shit that we've said throughout just within this year. And I'm like, "Oh yeah, that happened this year." It feels like five years ago. - I do immediately forget what I say on the show. - Oh, 100%. - So it's interesting to relive it.

- Yeah. - Wow. - And especially taking some of these moments next to each other. I'm like, some of these categories are completely stacked with some of the worst shit I've ever seen us say on the podcast. - Yeah, we went off this year in the wrong direction. - But yeah, without further ado, let's head to our first category of this year, which we're starting it off with this one. - Strongest. - Yeah.

- I mean, it's been four years in the podcast right now. So I think we signed off with a hot take with yeah, but I think comparatively to some of the previous years take they aren't,

as bad of takes. They weren't as hot as some of the other things. - Is that a good take or a bad take? - Or is that copium? - I don't know. Let's have a look. Let's have a look at some of these takes. We have Bochy is not a relatable character, which do you still stand by this? - 100 million percent I still stand by this. - Not even anime fans are that socially awkward. - Is anyone that socially awkward? - No, no, you think you are.

- I feel the only reason why this was put in here is because when I said this take,

- Bocce was like really hot at the time. It was the flavor of the week. - I think that's because you also said that no one is more socially, no one is as socially awkward as Bocce. - Which is a really like bold claim. When there's most certainly someone who is as socially awkward. - The thing that makes this clip stand out for me is that we said this in front of a live audience and the audience could have two reactions, right? They could have just,

immediately booed us, right? Or immediately booed Joey if they disagreed with the take. But unfortunately, this was a take about bocce fans who even if they come to our live show, there is absolutely no fucking way they will have the confidence

publicly boo someone. - No one in that audience was a bocce fan. - There were definitely bocce fans in there, Joey. You just didn't know. They were too quiet, man. - This caused quite the stir on social media as well, this one. - Yeah, because you bad mouth bocce in any way and you get flamed apparently. - I mean, I bad mouth bocce. - I still stand by it, so.

- All right, we also have room temperature water is better than cold water. - How is this a hot take? - This is definitely a hot take. How is this not a hot take? - I actually still don't understand how this is such a big deal. I wanted to drink tons of water and it being too cold is a barrier to that.

But when it's room temperature, I can just chug it and it tastes good. - No, do we have any ice, Naby? Do we have any ice in the freezer? - We have done 200 episodes and not a single episode of you had ice in your drinks. - No, no, no. - Yeah, but I barely drank from these. - Oh, wow. - It's 'cause this is already cooled from a water cooler. But you know what?

I'm feeling like some ice cold water today. I feel like something a little bit more refreshing. - Yeah, let's get some ice. You know what? I wanna feel refreshed with a nice cold water. - I remember back in the day when we were starting off and it was just us and Meilyne, she'd bring the fucking iced cucumber water. That was the most refreshing shit ever, man. - That's such a throwback. - And it wasn't the cucumber as much as Meilyne tried to like- - It wasn't the cucumber. - It wasn't the cucumber as much as Meilyne tried to convince us. - I just still don't think this is that crazy of a take.

- All right, okay. - There was also another Connor take, which is there were no good games this year. - This is Connor, okay, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there were some hot takes this year and I just completely forgot. - I said about the year 2023, there were no good games. I still think that there was no good original games in 2023. - Right, all sequels. - All of the good games were sequels.

- I do think that we didn't have any like amazing, except for like maybe like a lethal company. - Yeah. - But like there wasn't, I mean from- - Didn't you play the shit out of that game? - A lot of lethal company, but like, you know, a lot of the best games in 2023, what were they?

- Lethal comedy. - Okay, what else? - I don't know, I'm not a gamer. - I'm not as gamer as you. I pick the games I wanna play and that's it. - One game of the year, "Baldur's Gate." I think one of the other nominations was "God of War," which I think one of the other ones was- - Okay, but do they have to be completely new IPs to be like, "Oh, okay."

- For me, that's what I get excited about. I get excited about new IP. I know. - Why? - Because listen, I know that like Zelda fucking boring of the kingdom is gonna be the same shit again. - What was the best- - Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Wow, how much more excited can I get at the same thing again? I want new ideas. I want cool games.

So that's why I leave the company. - I want roguelite games. - I want roguelites and roguelites. No, I mean like, yeah. I mean, so you look at the, like literally look at that game. If I gave an AI, predict the game of the year 2035, it'll come up with probably half of these. - I mean, Baldur's Gate was fucking incredible even for like- - No, no, no, yeah, that's fair. - That was like, they completely rebuilt that from the ground up, you know? - It's just kind of like-

I'm looking for like newer experiences. - I would say this compared to the previous year, like the previous year was the one with Elden Ring, right? But I can't remember anything else aside from like Elden Ring that was like truly new and original. I feel like this is just- - You sure you wanna say that?

- Yeah, let's have a look. - Don't add to the nominations. - You say that and- - Okay, let's fact check this right now. What was the best games of 2022? 'Cause I feel like there was "Elden Ring" and "God of War II." - Which I remember. - I'm still dying on the cell, bro. - "Horizon Forbidden West." - "Horizon Forbidden West," "God of War," "Ragnarok," "Elden Ring," which is new. - "Call of the Lamb," "GODED." - "Xenoblade Chronicles 3," all right.

I'm seeing a lot less triple A games here. A lot of these look like- - That's what I get excited about. I don't know. - So you just want more indie games then? - More so it's my preference that I don't really get excited about sequels as much unless it's like a series that I'm really, really invested in. - Right. - Yeah. 'Cause it seems like, from this list, from looking at the games that came out in 2022, basically if it's a triple A game, which is going to be a game that has way more resources, it's gonna be a sequel.

- For sure. - Unless it's "Elden Ring". - This year I've already enjoyed the games a lot more, I feel like, generally speaking. - Sure. - Yeah, they were all JRPGs this year. - No, no. - It's the year of RPGs. - I've played a lot of JRPGs, but you know. - Let's go. - I think the game I've played most this year is "Ballotro". I've synced so many hours into "Ballotro". It's so good.

has no story, none of that fluff, just play fucking cards and get your dick out and get hard. - I do agree, this has been an amazing year for me as well. - Oh, what? - JRPGs. - Oh, I think it's a gacha. - Oh, my wallet, it's been a great year. Anyway, point being, point being, I said this, people did not like it. - Yeah, all right, here's another, a third Connor take. Beer counts as food. - How is this a hot take? - This is a list of foods, right? - Yeah. - What is beer doing there? - Beer is a food.

- What do you want fucking Germany Connor? - Beer is food. - It is not a food. - It's food. - This is the most plain take. - All of Germans are like, everyone in Germany is like rising up right now. - My German brothers agree with me. We know it to be true. It is simply food. You Americans and your weak stomach, you need a burger or fries to call it food. No, beer is food. Open your mind. Stop drinking Bud Light. - All right. - All right, do we have a couple more? I think we have a couple more.

- Instant ramen tastes better than restaurant ramen. - On any given day, I would rather eat instant ramen over actual ramen. - Oh my God! - Emily said that this year. - Yeah, Emily said that this year. - And I still can't believe she said that. - Oh, let's pause for a second. Let's just get these coffees. - Oat milk? - Mine's oat milk. - No, mine's regular water. - I'm honey soy. - What a combination. Champagne and...

- It is literally like 12. - I think this is the most degenerative moment of the year. - I can't believe Emily said that this year. - Yeah, right? - She said that this year. - Emily is the worst through takes. I love Emily. - This is one of many hot takes that Emily has said this year. So we really couldn't, I'm glad at least the audience managed to pick one of them up. - This was one of the ones that we had to pick out of 100.

- So many bad jokes. - Hundreds of food takes including lamb tastes dusty as well.

- I will never forgive her for that. - Emily will have like the most normal and like relatable food takes and then just whip an out of pocket one. You're like, what's wrong with you? What happened? - And then of course we have one of Garnt's takes which is, I can't believe you said this, other JRPGs should have more auto battles. - I would like more auto battlers. - Oh fuck no. - Enabled in other JRPGs. - Oh my God.

- The more JRPGs I play, the more I think back about the steak and the more I'm like, yes, I want it. - Gacha games have ruined this man. - I feel like some of my other ones are a bit explosive and a bit more reactionary. So I feel that like,

Yours probably won't win, but I feel like my heart, my deepest heart, that is the worst thing. - This is genuinely one of, I've had some takes on it that I'm like, all right, maybe I went a little bit too far. I look at this take and I'm like, no, you know? - This is the- - I want this, Joey. - Give me this for the future, man. - Somehow Joey avoided this whole list. - No, you have one. - No, I have one. - What is the worst take on this list for you to pick one? - If I had to pick one? - What the worst take is? - Definitely the Autobots.

- That's what I thought. - To me, this is a no brainer. - That is a no brainer. - What? - This is the worst team. - Especially coming from someone who loves JRPGs, this is insane. - You just said you don't wanna play the JRPG. Your mind has been like goblin brain from Gatchas. You don't play the game anymore. - I do want to play JRPGs. - You don't. - No, you don't because you're a more auto battler. - You don't wanna play them unless you say this. - Look, if an auto battler was like broken for like all parts of the game, then I would,

Obviously that means the auto battle is badly designed, but if it

It just helps me get through some of like the grindy moments in JRPGs. - There should be no grind. - But unfortunately there is. - No, no. - Chrono Trigger has no grind. - You're talking about the fucking goats, man. - I'm sorry. - You are talking about the goats. - I'm sorry. It's hard to just look at a battle and be like, this is shit, let's just remove this. Like Chrono Trigger, they figured it out like 20 plus years ago. - They did. - We have no excuse. We have no excuse for being shit at JRPGs, like fighting anymore.

- All right, well, there can only be one winner. Decided by the audience. - Oh, you can't, Scott. - I have got the paper. All right.

- I have who I think is going to win. - It's gonna be one of mine. - I can already tell. - I mean Connor has a 50% chance. - I have three on here. Fuck me. - No, no, no, no. That means your spread is gonna be like equally spread out. Everyone's like, "Shit, which Connor take do I go for?" - No, that would mean they're biased. - All right. Well, the hottest take of 2024 is...

- There were no good games this year. - No! - What? - That's the winner? - Oh my God. - Yeah, this year has been pretty boring video games I think. 'Cause I don't care about Spider-Man. I don't care about- - I played Spider-Man. - It was good. - It was good.

- Okay, I will say that is quite an upset if you ask me. I think this was your least hottest take out of the three. - I thought Emily was like- - I thought Emily was gonna win for sure. - I thought Emily was like ready to take that, holy shit. Okay, did Joey win his take of the year as well when he said there were no good anime this year?

- I don't remember. - So what am I gonna say? Holy shit. Let's see the percentage breakdown of this. Connor won with 25.1% of the votes, only just beating out room temperature water is better than cold water. - How are those two the takes? - Where's yours? All JRPGs should have an order. - Mine's the lowest. Mine's the fucking lowest.

- With 4.9% all JRPGs. - That's too many people just being getting brain rot from gacha games. - No, no, people are finally seeing the like- - Our audience are literally gacha gamers. - Instant Laminus III, wow. - Wow, my bocce take is what? The second lowest? Third lowest? - Yeah, it's the third lowest. - Yeah, third lowest. - Damn, okay, okay. - 'Cause it's not a hot take. That's what I'm saying.

- Well, Connor won the top two this year. If you count up all my takes, it's like over 60% of the time.

- That's so funny. - All right, well, congratulations Connor with the win right off the bat. - I can't believe even Bearcounsel's food was like not even the lowest one. - How is Bearcounsel- Oh my God, man. - Look, I'm just saying JRPG players, we are in the right side of history right now. - I do not claim this man. I do not claim this man. - That's diabolical.

The next award we have is best out of context clip. - This is always a favorite of mine. - Yeah. - I always get a good laugh. - Yeah. - I can never remember the context. - No, no.

- Let's look at the nominations. - Women basketball. - This is the best one. - What the fuck is racism? - Okay, well let's play them all in order. - All right. - Ah, women basketball.

- I love your guys' reactions. - It's so good. It's just 'cause we laughed so heartedly. We fully committed to the laugh. - My favorite was when you used it in one of your videos. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh my God. - It just works so well as a punchline. I don't know why. - Okay. - It's the reaction afterwards. - So second one is your stay in the kitchen. - Oh God. - But it doesn't matter 'cause she's hot. - Exactly. - She pops off in season two. - Oh great, she gets one pop off. Get back to the kitchen now.

- That does sound bad. - With no context, it doesn't sound great. - This is why you got heat on Twitter for this clip. - I know I did, because they fucking took out the context.

- The context is to defend my mate that you're always underutilized as a character and made to feel like, oh, just get back in the kitchen. - Even though she couldn't fucking cook. - That was a whole shtick. - I know, I know. - All right, what is racism? - I need to see this one. - I don't know what this is. - Racism. - Okay, okay. - Okay, well that's.

- Objectively verified. - Racist. I love how you like, rimmed it off. - Oh my God. All right, what's the next one? - All right, cluck like you're about to lay an egg. - I'm about to cum, cluck like you're about to lay an egg. And it's just like, .

- You went so hard with that. - That's what she sounded like. Is that not what she sounded like? We all heard it. - I mean, that is not as bad as seeing the actual scene out of context, which is way worse. - All right, but that's what I like about it. - Sometimes you're like, yeah, you probably shouldn't be fucking your students. - That's what I like about it.

- That's such a good- - That's so good. - Oh my God. - That's what I like about it. - You're so nonchalant about it. - That's what I like about it.

- I can't remember saying that. - Oh my God. - I mean, yeah, yeah. In the context of probably hentai. - I don't even know the context. Yeah, I'm sure it helps. - I'm sure it was hentai. - All right, next one is what never happened? You don't believe the Holocaust happened? I can't save you, bro. - Okay, that's never happened. - That's so bad.

- That's so bad out of context. - I'm trying to remember the context. - I'm also trying to think what context would bring that up. Like what on earth would make you bring that up? That's such a weird thing to bring up on Trash Picks. - Oh my shit. - Okay, that's. - These are so good. All right, we got another page of them. - Sure.

- Man comes while laughing. - Oh, I love this one. I love this. - Turn into planets that turn into the galaxy that turn into the universe and Tezuka started the big bang.

- I don't remember that at all. - Is this your first time seeing this? - Yeah. - I saw it on the Reddit and it was like, "Yeah, men come from lab." So can we watch it again? You gotta watch the full thing, it's so funny. - It's like the full arc of your facial expression. - Turn into planets that turn into the galaxy that turn into the universe. And Tezuka started the big bang and the big bang turns into a tennis ball.

I think. Can you leave it like you were

- You've gone through the full facial emotions. - You had like your postmark clarity afterwards. - You're like, "Oh!" - You woke up from the night. You're like, "What the fuck is going on?" - Jesus Christ. - This is probably like the best range of clips. - Yeah, this is honestly one of the best out of context clip nominees we've seen. Honestly, any of these could win.

- I literally can't choose. - I'm happy with all of them. - Honestly, yeah. - All of them are absolute classics. Predictions, predictions, if you had to guess. - I mean, I feel like, I want the racism one. - Out of context clip. - I feel like women's basketball was the one that started the trends. - Right. - Let's find out of context clips, but there are so many favorites. - Lay it on us, Connor. - And the winner is, of the best out of context clip,

- Women's basketball. - Well done. - Thank you Patagonia worker. - Ah, woman basketball. - So fucking good. - Oh, this was very close as well. - So woman basketball with 23.2. Second place was racism. And then right behind that was man comes while laughing.

- I love that one. - And then that never happened. - That's what I like about it. - Yeah, it's fourth. - You're such a great. - Oh man. - Like you're about to lay an egg. Oh man.

- This was a very equally spread out, unsurprisingly votes. I think women's basketball has the clip legacy behind it to just edge out the competition. - Lovely. - But that was hard. That was hard. - That was great. - Yeah. - Hell yeah. What a great selection. - Great selection of out of context clips. - All right. - I'm sure we get as good.

- Yes, keep those out of context clipping going, Reddit. We love you for that. All right, let's move on to the next nomination. - Thank you, thank you, Joey, for introducing the next. - Thanks, Joey. - We have Screen Grab of the Year. - Always a fan favorite as well. - Also always a fan favorite. All right, let's go through the nominations. - All right, so the nominations are.

- I mean, oh God. We have aerodynamic American Garnt. - Why are you making me relive this man? Why are you making me relive this? - We could have, anyone could be the enemy stand user. We have Choke Dog VL. What the fuck is that one from? - It's from the muscle girl bar. - Oh my God, of course. Mob cycle 100 Garnt. We have certified banging. - I fucking love this one as well. - And we have Pog Garnt. - Is there any more? Is there another page or is it?

- I think it was like equally spread between this one and the memes. - Fair enough, fair enough. - I mean- - I've come to realize after this year, having taken a few pictures without me being able to do my hair, I think I just have like hentai protagonist haircut. - Yeah, you do. - You're like halfway between hentai protagonist and a Beatles member. - If there ever was such a comparison. - Yeah, I do like certified banger a lot. - I love it.

- Don't want aerodynamic giant to win. - Recency bias may be against you. - This is something I want to erase from my memory. - Well, let's see if it gets enshrined in it instead of erased. - Let's find out. And the winner for the best screen grab of the year goes to Aerodynamic American God.

- Recency bias, guys, recency bias. - Oh, I don't want this, no. - Oh, look at that, beautiful. Don't show off for too long, 'cause this episode might get age restricted. - I fucking hate you guys. - All right, what was the breakdown? Let's see. - Was it close? - Let's see, scroll down. - It wasn't. 61.4%.

- That is crazy how one sided this is. - It wasn't even close. - I honestly would have thought it was kind of close. - Oh my God. - Second place was 15.4% choked on VA. - Wow. - And then certified banger, 9.9%. And the rest are just insignificant. - Wow. Okay. Wow. That's it. What an upset. - Yeah. Why am I? - Let's move on from this image. Should I get the mic off? - Yeah, yeah. Before you get the mic off, let's get this off.

- Right now. - To something that also probably won't get us demonetized, the most degenerate moment. - Always, always plenty of degenerate moments. As you know, if this is not your first time on Trash Taste, we talk about some pretty degenerate stuff sometimes. - If you already didn't get it from the out of context clips. - Yeah. - I also like, I haven't checked anything. So I have no idea what even the nominations are. - All right. - I can't remember 'cause there were a lot of nominations. - Let's go through them then, shall we? And relive these degenerate moments. - What did we talk about this year?

- Oh God. - We had Carho's unreleased video idea that you had to turn down, which- - Which someone else made. - Yeah, someone else made. - And it got like a million views. - Oh, did they? - Yeah, it was very hard to watch the video. - Oh God. - Is it a monetizable video? - Fuck if I know. - Probably not. - We have the boys discover Inukai's dog. - Oh yeah, and then Connor has a fucking mental breakdown listening to it. - Honestly, honestly, yeah. - This girl, she likes the dog. Like she really likes the dog. - No, no, no, God, no!

- That and the entire viewer suggested hentai episode. Of course there's always at least one hentai episode every year. Garnt discovers Thai hentai.

- Wait, what? - I don't remember that. - Do you remember this? - No. - Yeah, it's the MILF. - It's the MILF one. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. - It's a MILF one where everyone's speaking in Thai. - Thai, yeah. - And it was like uncensored and I was- - And also he doesn't, he's not like his stepmom, straight up his mom. - Yeah, it's a blood related mom. No stepmom, no nothing. - Thailand's wild. - Thailand, no chill.

- And then Joey and Connor would rather have no legs so they can still jack off. - Did I say this? - Would you rather have no arms or no legs? - Fuck sake. - No legs. - No legs? Let's go. - Why, 'cause you can't game? - I can't game. - Oh my God.

- That's the rare Joey and Connor instinct moment. - For the record, I'm sure you can probably still jack off somehow. - Oh yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, we've always found a way. - I'm sure there's a way. - I just love this is such a rare moment where you two share the same brain cell. - It is very rare. - Yes.

- I don't know which one is the most degenerate. - Might be the Inukai's Diagon. - I have a feeling it's gonna be the Inukai's Diagon or the entire hentai episode. - Honestly, the thing that scarred me the most is probably the Thai hentai. That's a very personal thing for me. Like I can only imagine this is getting Thai votes for Thai speakers. - Thai votes.

- In terms of like the most cursed, obviously the entire hentai episode. - That was, yeah. - That was, some of those were rough, but just on a conceptual level. - Inukai's dog. - Inukai's dog, man. Inukai's dog. - Inukai's dog is deprived. - Inukai's dog needs to be wiped off the face of this earth. - All right. - I agree. - Read it out to us. - All right. But what you guys voted for, the most degenerate moment this year is,

- Joey and Connor would have rather have no legs so they can jack off. - Ain't no way. - That's the most degenerate moment. - Would you rather have no arms or no legs? - No legs. - No legs? Let's go. - Why, 'cause you can't game? - I can't game.

- Oh my God. - I feel like all of these were fucking cursed, but I feel like any guy could see this clip and they were like, "Fuck yeah." - Yeah, we agree. - They got a point. Oh, this was super, super close. - So 28.5% was first place. Second place with 24% was Carho's unreleased video ID. - Wow. - Wow. - And then third place is the entire Hentai episode, yep. And then fourth place was the boys discovered Indukai's dog. Why is Indukai's dog that far down?

- Wow, it's gone to Thai hentai. - Yeah, I mean, Thai, yeah. - 5.6, hey, my Thai audience, 5.6. - So good to know we have 664 Thai people who watch this podcast. Like we agree, Garnt. - Yeah, wow. - Kind of an interesting spread of results. - Yeah. - Very close though. - Yeah, very close. This has been a very close year for every category so far. I'm actually- - Except for the last one. - Yeah. - I've already forgotten. I've already forgotten how it's going. But,

- Yeah, I'm surprised that one because out of everything that was probably the least cursed thing that has appeared in this list. - Yeah, that was just boys being boys. - Your honor. - Your honor. - My boys were just being boys. - Your honor, we make a great point.

- Dicks out for the lads, dicks out for the lads. - Oh God, all right, the next category. - All right, well, before we go to the next category, we do have a special category that we didn't put on this list 'cause this was all of the public votes. - Yes. - But we have a special category for

our, I was gonna say our hentai consumers. For our hentais, no, for our Patreon supporters. Because this year we started releasing weekly Patreon uploads and it was kind of like an experiment for us to see

- Sometimes we have an odd 30 minutes or something to film a quick video that's, you know, we didn't think that we could release on our After Dark or on our main channel, but it was something that we thought, you know, our patrons would enjoy as extra content. - Yeah, and you guys have been really, so far we've released about 20 something episodes as of this episode.

And you guys seem to be enjoying just us doing anything and everything really. We really appreciate you guys for that. And so we did a special one here where we asked you guys over on the Patreon to vote on what you guys think is the best Patreon exclusive video we've uploaded so far. - All right, so.

- We have a bunch of different episodes we filmed. All you can watch right now if you want to as well. - Yeah, it's patreon.com/trashtest. - But let's have a look at some of them. - Yeah, I mean, we sort of like, this is the most, okay, I'm just gonna start off this thing and I'm a YouTuber and I don't know what kind of content to make, which is the Patreon Q&A, but yeah,

- Yeah, some of these, I remember trashing the boys at Scrabble. That was a fun one. - I mean, trash was a strong word, come on. - I obliterated the boys at Scrabble. - Yeah, we played a bunch of games, played Scrabble, Smash, Mario Party. - Just quickly, you flip through all of these. We don't need to go through all of them. - Obviously we did some viewers suggest anime three by threes, some quizzes, more games. - Just a bunch of random stuff.

Obviously of course, behind the scenes stuff for our specials as well. We release all the time and some gameplay stuff as well. So we played Lethal Company. We also did things like Minecraft as well, which you guys really enjoyed. - Yeah, some of these aren't in the studio as it is on every other channel. We've had the moment where we've just filmed

- Online as well. So it's been- - Oh yeah, you played Fortnite. - We played Fortnite. - Oh, we did play Fortnite. - Fall Guys. - That was surprisingly fun. I hate that I didn't hate Fortnite. - Yeah, play some Switch Sports. - And then we also played some board games as well, like Scrabble, we played Risk as well. - You can just go through them all quickly. - Yeah, we can just go through them all. - Man, we've done so much already. - Yeah, yeah, Jesus Christ. I didn't realize we filmed this many.

- Yeah. - But there can only be one favorite that you guys voted, which gives us a lot of feedback as well in terms of what you guys enjoyed. And the winner of the best Patreon episode is...

- The Risk episode. - Yeah, I mean, honestly well deserved. - Risk. - And this is just part one as well. - Yeah. - Yeah. - If you want to see a quick taster, here's a quick taster. - Yeah, why didn't you put more on Russia? Was there a reason or? - No reason. - Okay, okay, okay. - No, no reason. I just really want to fuck you over. - Okay. - All right. - You're right.

Joey is a bit too powerful. Yes, he is plus nine. I can't believe it, man. We literally just trust-

- That was until you got powerful. - So, while Connor was in the room, he was like, okay. - So I'm going to go for- - Okay Joey, choose four. - In my voiceover, I was like, Garnt will fuck over Joey the first moment he gets. - I knew I shouldn't have trust this motherfucker. - So let's take emotion out of this and go for the weakest point of entry. - Yeah, I know. It's alcohol free. - Weakest one of entry I can see is Brazil.

- Oh my God. - Holy shit. - All right, well, Joey, here's the thing. I'm vindictive. Now I want Garnt gone. - Same. I mean, I want both of you gone, really. - Let's get rid of him first. - Sure. - And then we'll pick up the pieces. - Okay. - He's in the middle, sandwiched. - Okay. - I'm not surprised with this one winning. I mean, we basically, this is like a whole "After Dark" episode.

plus some more filmed bits. - Yeah, exactly. - We had like a commentary couch where we could all sneak off and tell our strategies that are all edited in. So I actually haven't watched it. So I actually don't know what you guys were saying. - Yeah. - Oh really? I watched a little bit of it and it was really funny. Just like how it cut to like, all right,

let's like conspire to do this. - Yeah, we tell the viewers our plans. - This was a special episode 'cause this one was filmed right before we all went off on our holidays. So we just had a day where we had way more time than we usually did. So we were like, let's just, let's play a board game because we actually got time this day.

- I would like to play more board games, but at the same time, it takes so much fucking time. We're still gonna finish this game of Risk, which is going to happen eventually, probably next month. - Risk has been open on our table for like a month. Risk hasn't moved. We will finish it. - We'll finish it. - And there's a whole lot more where that came from as well. So if you guys wanna support the show and get weekly exclusive content like these and so many others coming up, then patreon.com/trashtaste links in the description. - The next category, a brand new one. Best bro should not have let him cook money.

- Joe, for those who are uninformed, what is the bro should not have let him cook? - So a bro should not have let him cook is when a bro goes off about something thinking that he is cooking. - As in making a great argument. - As in trying to make a great argument, trying to make a point when in fact he is not. He's burning down the kitchen, he's making a horrible argument. - Yeah, I like the way you had to explain that, but you still were using like,

- I explained bro should not have let him cook by using the word cook. - I was like, you have to explain. - My brain is so rotten. - You can't explain brain rot with brain rot Joey. - God damn it. - Let's have a look at the categories. Maybe you could fill us in a little bit more. - Joey trying to explain quantum physics. I love that fucking screenshot. - It's just every time Joey tries to explain, this has happened a few times where it's like quantum physics or some kind of like,

scientific explanation. And every time Joey does it, I'm just like, I wonder how many mood on fact checks there is gonna be on this, on the next like five minutes that's coming up. - Well, it depends. Sometimes I've been correct, sometimes I haven't. - Well, let's listen to the clip. I'd love to see it. - As someone who studied quantum physics.

- Light is both a particle and a wave. It is called the particle wave duality. - That's fucking stupid. That is stupid. - Which is interesting because light is the only thing that acts like that and scientists to this day do not know how that works. - I'm listening to this clip and I'm like, I don't know how much of this is accurate. Maybe this is like- - It was accurate though. The fact check came in and it just repeated the same thing. - Was he accurate? - Yes. - Yeah. - I was.

- Garnt's cooking in the Hawaii special. This is an actual should not have left cooked. - Bro, this was so bad. - I thought this was a slang term, not an actual literal term, Garnt.

- It's crazy how much you didn't cook. - Yeah. - You know, I was trying to think Hawaiians. I was like, we're an island. So I went for kind of like- - Yeah, you built an island. You built an island of fish. - Yeah, I did. I did. - That's like Kraken's child right there. - Your plate is built on murder, Garnt. - All right, all right. I will say, I will say what fucked me over was maybe I was a little ambitious, but at least I tried to make something impressive. - I made a loco moco.

- I look at the boys, Joey made fried rice. - Which is Hawaiian. - And just put Hawaiian on the front of it. - He's just like, it's in Hawaii. So it's a Hawaiian fried rice. - I mean, it was. - Connor just used ingredients from the fucking chef himself. - The chef was cooking half his shit. - He didn't even cook his own fucking dish. I would like to see what Connor could have cooked if he actually fucking cooked. - The biggest compliment was like, oh, the gravy tastes so good. The gravy that I made.

- It was a legitimate strategy. What you do is you piss off the chef so much that he has to come in and fix it. - Oh. - It was a strategy? - He was playing the meta game. - Yeah. - All right. - All right, Garnt arguing British cuisine is better than German cuisine. - I've learned this about the Germans is that if you upset them, they will become a very, very loud vocalist.

And you upset them. Although I agree with you. - Yeah, I mean, the only thing that would go against this is if beer counts as food, because Germany does have very good beer. - Well, if it does, it does. - Is that cuisine? I don't know if that counts as cuisine. - We don't have to let this moment be multi-layered, it's fine. Connor thinking he can 1v1 an elephant.

- That's fucking wild. - I still think I could. - No you can't. - Give me a shovel. Give me a shovel. - No, we've been through this. I remember there was this exact,

where you're like, what if we just dig a hole and just make sure four holes and put the elephant legs in each hole. - No, no, just one big hole to get half of his body stuck in it. - And I was like, have you never seen an elephant stand up with his hind legs? - Yeah, that's true.

- If I'm putting money on this fight, it's going to the elephant for a hundred percent of the time. - I just wanna say, I just wanna say one of the species is endangered and it's not us. - Yeah, 'cause we had to get guns involved. - I would still want to be one with the guns. If I had a Glock, I'd win. - Clearly. Is that it? Is there more? Oh, okay. So these are the four that we have here.

- Honestly, all of them bro should not have cooked. - Mine sounds the most outrageous just from- - Yours is the most outrageous. - Which is the problem with voting is that, you know, I'm not trying to say- - It's like a YouTube title. It's all about the title. - My title is very provocative. - Bro's bringing out the excuses.

- I just have this feeling that people are gonna look at the title and not, 'cause none of the other titles make you even remotely feel anything. - Look, look, these are only voted on by the most dedicated of fans, of course. They know these moments. - And that's the problem. They love to clown on me, the dedicated fans. All right, let's have a look. Well, I might be wrong, I might be wrong. All right. - All right. - And the award goes to, for the best bro should not have let him cook moment. Drum roll, please.

- Bro should not have let him cook when he thought he could one V one an elephant. - I mean, just. - I played elephant ring, right? I can dodge and roll around the elephant. His airway attacks. - You don't have like frames. - Shit, I don't have like frames. - I don't think like throwing a couple of spears is gonna take it now. - I think I have a good crack at it.

- I stand by that. I just think I could. - Bro watched like Ice Age and looked at the Neanderthals like, "I can do that." - When you gave me like 30 spears, I think I can get it done. I think I can get it done. - There's a reason why even the Neanderthals are like, "Let's not 1v1 it. Let's like go as a group to take down the man." - Broke on Handler Deer, sees a fucking tank of an elephant and be like- - These are too fast. Elephants are not that fast. - Oh my God.

- All right, let's see the breakdown of this. How much did it win by? - Fucking hell. - 40%. - Jesus Christ. - 40.4%. The other three were very close though. Second place was Garnt in the Hawaii special. Third place was Garnt arguing British cuisine. And last place was me explaining quantum physics. 'Cause it's not a hot, 'cause I cooked. Let me cook. - I think there's more chance. - I won't go that far, Joey. - Me 1v1ing the elephant. - You explaining it correctly. - I was explaining it like.

- God damn it. - All right, well that was fun. - Explain to me Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Joey. What's that? - Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? Let's not do this.

- We have an award show to go through, all right? - I'm just curious. - I'll tell you after the show. - I'm just curious. - That's a Patreon special. All right, the next one though we have is a- - This one's a new one. - Yeah, this is another new one. We have the biggest copium moment. - So we've changed things up a little bit this year. We had a lot more structure to our podcast in terms of different things that we were doing, different things that we had to defend. And through that, we had a few moments where people were

- People were fighting a fight and it didn't look like a convincing fight at all. In fact, it looked a little bit too much like copium. - Yeah, there was a lot of copium that was halved this year. - I feel like all of the, when we did the conspiracy theory episode, I remember you guys were so bad at arguing the conspiracy theories, you didn't believe it. - I mean, those are difficult. - I was like, just tell me that you believe in aliens, Joey. Just tell me it and make me believe that you believe it.

- All right, let's go through the biggest copium moments. - All right, Garnt thinks he is least likely to get picked. - What does that mean? What is this from? What is the copium? - Play the clip. - Can we play it? - I don't know, there are so many things. There's so many fetishes that I feel like the idea is better than actually me wanting to do it. - I wanna handshake myself for not being on this.

- I'm like, I'm not a copier. - Yeah, because all of your takes are in like the hottest takes, man. - I don't cope, I don't cope, okay? That's the thing about me, I've never coped. - No, he doubles down. - I just don't cope. All right. - Joey's saying, "Ocky isn't at Disney at all." - This is also coke. I'll pull up on Instagram right now. We've seen within Disney in the past week.

- Yeah. - Oh, okay. - First of all, she only goes to Disney a couple of times a year. - Objection, copium, your honor. - Second of all, she's not a Disney fan. She's a Kingdom Hearts fan, which automatically- - Objection, it's worse. Objection, it's worse, your honor. - I will agree on that.

- Listen, I need to defend my girlfriend, but I also can't lie. - That was an unfair argument when I said that point. I knew she'd been to Disneyland, so I saw it. - You set me up for that one. - I did set you up. That was a good argument. - Do you know what I like about this?

- It's when Joey was like, "No, no, no, no. "Arky isn't a Disney adult." - She's a Kingdom Hearts adult. - It's different. - It's two totally different things, guys. - This is my personal favorite one, the next one. - All right, Garnt finds out the Arctic water's flooded.

- I love this one. - It says pollution in the Arctic ocean, not the Arctic, not the fucking ice caps. Look, it's the fucking ice that has been untouched for like generations. - Nah, nah. - Bro, it says it's got mercury and microplastics. - Ain't no way, ain't no way.

- Where does the ice come from Gar? Where does it come from? - I feel like I got unfairly fact checked in this. The Arctic water is fresh water. It is fresh water. We were talking about like the fucking water on the outskirts. I was talking about the fucking ice caps within the Arctic, okay? - Yeah, which is heavily polluted. - This is bullshit. I don't believe in science. - You think that it's just untainted water that's been there for years?

- For like centuries, for millennia, bro. They fucking study ice out there 'cause it's just been like the fucking Arctic up there is like untouched for sensory. - You find out when your fucking digestive system gets rocked by a 500 year old parasite that's ready to fucking roll. - It's like where did this come from? - Like a sleeper agent activated in your poor modern day stomach. - Motherfucker came back like Avatar. - It's gonna be like a backy fucking bacteria like, all right, what's up?

- All right, Joey and Connor trying to justify paying 750 baht for pads. - I can't believe this one, you guys. I guess again, only the Thai people would vote for this one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this will have 660 something votes like last time. And then, oh for fuck's sake. - You had to put it in like,

- Thai currency, 'cause if you put it in like dollars, it doesn't seem that bad. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's like they paid $5 for a meal. - 750 baht, what? - But lastly, we have Joey. He's coping right now. It's Joey finding out that after all of the money

of his hatred, all of his criticisms. Young Joey actually gave Sword Art Online a 9.5. - This is Joey finding out. This is the world finding out. I already knew. - I didn't know this Joey. - It's you guys and the audience finding out that I did this. - You were sitting on this for how many years Joey? - Like 12 years. - And you never once mentioned, oh yeah,

- I reviewed SAO, it was like one of my first reviews. - 9.5 out of 10. - I feel like that's gonna win 'cause it's such a striking title. - Yeah, it has to be. If this doesn't win, I swear to God. - Some of this is, these are all pretty shit. - These are all pretty shit. - All right, well, let's find out. - There can only be one though. Let's find out. - Let's find out. - Biggest copium moment of the year goes to...

- Joey argues that Aki isn't a Disney at all. - No way. - Let's go. - No way. - Let's go. - Fuck. I'm sorry Aki, I couldn't defend you. It was too late. - Oh, fuck me.

- Wow, I'm surprised. I thought the SAO was gonna win for sure. - Look, look, the cope was so strong that the title didn't matter. - No, it didn't matter. - How much was the percentage breakdown? 32%. - And then not close behind, Garnt is least likely to get pegged. - Guys! - And then it's me giving SAO a 9.5. - Wow, Garnt, you were very close to losing. - How was I that close? - Garnt's Arctic is polluted is the least.

- That's surprising. - They know. - That's all the Tyvee was saying. - Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of impressed really. - Yeah, that's surprising. - I don't know, why do people think I'm the most likely to get pegged? - We all show. - We all know that Aki is a Disney idol. How am I so close second? - And everybody knows that you're the most likely to get pegged. - How am I the most? - We all know the truth. - Oh my God, all right. - What the fuck?

- I'm sorry, Aki. - Don't take it personally. - I'm sorry, Aki. That's what you get for making the mask. - The SAO one wasn't even second, man. - I know, I thought for sure. - Yeah, Joe giving an SAO that score is still less copium than- - You're not getting paid. - All right. - Oh my God. - And then next up. - Next one is also a fan favorite 'cause we do more things than just cope, guys. We do more things than cope.

we get a bit salty sometimes as well. Maybe just a little bit salty. Some things can happen and some of us can get a little bit salty. And I think there were quite a lot of salty moments this year as there always is. - Let's find out. Joey finding out Connor and Garnt spent junior month at a gold bar using the company credit card. But yeah, I mean, this is probably the most salty I've ever been on an episode. - Can we see this again? I wanna see this again. - Okay, whisper in my ear, how much was the damage?

- I felt that Junie man in my soul. Bro went to like disappointed Asian dad at that point. - Because in my head I was like, oh, it's probably like four or five months. And then when you were like, I was like, excuse me? - That was, I,

- You have to imagine my surprise when I saw the bill too. I was like, we were there for an hour and a half. I was impressed that we managed to rack up such a bill. - I think my other favorite moment of this point, which we didn't get to see in the clip was throughout the entire story, Joey was just like laughing along like, what a bunch of losers. And then I don't know if you can show this move on, but there is this exact point where Joey finds out we used the company credit card. And I think he's just like,

- It's such a one. - It was so hard to keep that a secret 'cause I think we'd filmed a bunch of stuff and done other stuff before we'd filmed another episode. - Yeah. - What do we do? We filmed something, we were away for a couple of days. - Something like that. - Oh, we went on the ski trip. - Yes, that's right. - So there's like a whole month and a half where I knew this information I hadn't told Joey. And I really wanted to tell him, but I was like, I gotta save it. I gotta save it for the episode.

- It was like the moment when like Jesus like finds out Judas backstabbed him. - What? You? - It was, yeah. I mean, I will be very shocked if this doesn't win. - Yeah. Felix listening to the boys reviewing Sweden right in front of him.

- He always gets salty. - He gets salty about that. - He gets salty a lot. - Garnt hates Cards Against Humanity. It wasn't just Garnt, I think we all hate Cards Against Humanity. - No, but I think I was just like extra mad that day because I was like, I had to go through a game of Cards Against Humanity. So I was just like, can people stop playing this game? Connor finds out Garnt skipped.

- That's insane dude. - That's so funny. - And still very valid. - I still haven't watched it. - Well, I don't care. This is why you get pegged. Only skippers get pegged. - And then Garnt doesn't understand the light. - What the fuck does that mean? - I mean, fucking lights. It's just weird. - You just described what a shadow is. - Okay, okay, okay. - What are you getting at Garnt? - What are you getting at? - How the fuck does light work?

- I don't fucking understand light, all right? This light is just fucking weird to me. Is it like a particle or is it a wave or is it both or is it neither? - I think when I get salty is like, I think when Joey started to explain it. - Yeah, I just got this. - This makes no sense to me. I don't understand this. - That was when I was like telling you about like the three layers of shadows, right?

- Yeah, something like that. - Something like that. Oh no, it was like the wave. It was literally like the wave. - The wave particle duality? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, fuck light. It doesn't make sense. I think someone actually made a video explaining this point. - I have this really like core memory of some reason where we were in biology and they were like, how do you think light works? And there's two diagrams. There was like, does the light bounce off the thing and then into your eyes or does the light bounce into your eyes then onto the thing?

And the way they show this, I'll never forget it. There was like a, it was a robber in this like science, someone stealing in someone's house.

And there was two diagrams, the guy flashing the flashlight in the room and then another one with the guy flashing the flashlight in his eyes. And it was like, which one's right? And like half the class, I picked the one where he flashed it in his eyes. And I remember being like, are you guys fucking dumb? Do you guys not remember? Have you guys ever used light, a torch before? When the moment starts, you shine the torch in your eyes to see. - It's like, hold on, it's too dark in here. - Yeah. - We all,

- It was in like high school, we were all like 14. I was like, you guys have no excuse. This is why the Welsh economy is beyond saving. 'Cause half of you think this is how light works. - The Welsh schooling system failed you guys. - They were fucked.

- All right, well, I mean, I think we can all agree. - The winner of the saltiest moment of the year is Joey finding out the boys famous Junie man at the girls bar. - You know what? I was saying on the lead up to the awards, I was like, if this doesn't win at least one award, I'm gonna be so pissed. - This is a classic. This is a trash taste. - I also, one of my reassurances to Joey for the reason why we spent this money is that I assured him that the clip made his,

his money back for him. - Yeah. - So, you know, it was an investment. - It was an investment. - It was an investment. All right, what was the breakdown? - How much did he win by? - 69%. - Nice. Nice. Very good guys. Very good. - Gun understanding light. - No, Gun skipping John Wick 3 is not a close second. It was 69%. - Wow.

- Wow. - Thank God. - What a blowout. - You know what? - Scripted. - Yeah, scripted. - Not surprising. - Yeah. - Well-deserved and was truly one of the best payoffs of the entire year. - I think this is one of the moments that defined the year of Trash Taste. - Thank you guys, thank you. - The fans are gonna remember for a very long time. - Thank you so much. - All right, let's go to another familiar category that we have every single year. Of course it is the most,

- Monkey moment. - Named after yours truly. - Yes, you fucked this up again. - Yeah. - This is a monkey moment. - I'm sorry. - How have you fucked up this? - I just keep mixing them around. - I think we have a lot of them this year, right? - Let's find out. - Yeah, we have, this is one of two pages. - Okay, Connor trying to smash the coconut in the Hawaii special. - I mean, that is pretty monkey. - That's very, very monkey. - Gar drinking the concoction on set. - Oh my God.

- I love it. Can we play this clip? I actually love this clip. Such a good edit. It's a vibe. This is what always happens when we have these discussions. It'll be like, it'll be like, I do sex on myself. - You know what? Gonna have to agree with you there. I can't explain it. Why? - How long has this been here? - What is that? - They said funny. - I thought, I don't know. - Why would you drink the cup of water?

- I remember this because I remember for like three episodes in a row. So it must've been like at least two or three months. - Yeah. - I remember seeing it thinking like, why is that there? - It's been there longer than that. - I reckon it's there for at least like two, three months. - Yeah, two, three months. - It's been a very long time. - Well you lived since Elmer's death.

- I mean, I lived, I didn't get food poisoning. - It was probably just like dust and- - It's just stagnant water. - The thing that made me like freak out more was like that was after we had found the cockroach on the set as well. - That was his feeding, he drank his feeding pond. - Which I was just like that, it was like an instant regret where I tasted it, I was like, this tastes off. - Yeah, I'm pretty sure. - It looked off. - Does water go off? - Yeah, it does. - Yeah.

- Like the Arctic water, right? - No, so I think that like water that gets, if it's like purified, it can go bad quicker than like non-purified water, if I'm not mistaken. - Yeah, I mean, I'll fact check that. - Actually, you know the reason I know this? - Wait, wait, wait, did you say purified water goes bad more than non-purified water? - So actually, I think when you make ice, for example, it's better to use tap water than to use like filtered water 'cause the filtered water will, it'll go like staler quicker.

- Not sure, does it expire? - Yeah, some concerns are associated with its plastic bottles. - I might've used the wrong word there. I don't know the right word, but it'll get- - Are we gonna have a fact check in the awards? - We're having a fact check. - I'm pretty sure, 'cause I remember reading somewhere, it was like, yeah, it's better to use tap water or something. I can't remember why. - Thanks, Mudan. Also, thanks, Mudan, for this next one too. Mudan ripping his pants in the Patreon outtakes. - Why was this in the Patreon outtakes? Did this not make the final cut?

- No, no, no. Stop ripping t-shirts. You just wanted to get rid of those t-shirts and you ripped them. Oh my. It's so like, why? - It's just so unprovoked.

- There was like no good bit. It was nothing. He just did it. - I don't remember this at all. - 'Cause you walked away. - Yeah. - Because I only remember Mudan ripping his shirt. - We saw Mudan like a month or two before and he kept doing it then, ripping shirts. - He just loves it. - Did he rip his shirt on the podcast or was that a-

- Was that us remembering? - Us remembering he did it around us one time at a party. - Yeah. - And then he did it. - And then he did his pants on the podcast. - Can you stop ripping your clothes please? - I know, I don't know why. - Connor changing his name to Tanaka on Japanese. - That's not monkey. - That's not monkey. - That's five head.

- Sally and Marky replacing Connor and saying all bread tastes the same. That's pretty Marky. - This was such a good moment where you left. - You decided to go to the airport. - I famously said on the podcast once that all bread tastes the same. - They do though. - I think I remember I was still getting my stuff upstairs and I was like, what the fuck?

- I love the cut to Jerry just thinking like, I fucking hate it here. - Why did I not leave with Connor? - Yeah. - All right. Sydney dabbing to strangers. - This is a story I think she definitely wants to forget. - That was pretty monkey. - Very, very monkey. - Next page. - Number two. - Garnt outs himself as the snitch. - Ready? - Three, two, one.

- I didn't want to put one of you boys down. I felt bad. - I was the same way. - A real snitch. - A real snitch. - You snitched on Joey. - What the fuck? - I believed in you. I exposed myself. - Oh yeah, you did out yourself. - Yeah, he out himself with that. Damn, he got played.

- Nice. - All right, I failed the test. - Oh God, Joey crushing the cockroach. - Joey crushes a cockroach once. - Oh God, I remember that. - Is that monkey? I was cleaning up. - That is monkey. - Joey, you could have just put it in the bin, Joey. It was already dead. There was no need to crush it, Joey. There was no need to crush it. - I just wanted to make sure it was dead. - Joey, it was dead. - I wanted to make sure it was dead. - And then obviously Emily getting stuck in there. - Can we watch this? - Oh yeah, Emily getting stuck in the TT Canada AX. - So ridiculous.

- Oh my God. - How do you do that? - How do you do that? Only Emily can do that. - That's like when you, when you, you know when you, when you were a kid and you put on the ring on like your thumb or something and you knew it was gonna get stuck. - And you're like, oh shit. - You're like, I'll do it anyway. And then you're like, ah!

And this was on, we had spent all this time setting up the set. - Hundreds of thousands of dollars. - Hundreds of thousands of dollars setting up the booth and this was day one. - This is literally- - Like the first hour or something. - This is literally like the cat climbing up the tree and then getting up there and being like, fuck, I can't get down.

- I don't know. - That's gotta be it. That's gotta be the most monkey moment. - There was so many monkey moments. - That has to be the most monkey moment. - I don't know, man. I think Garnt drinking the stagnant water will be up there. - Oh, true. - Oh no, the cockroach man. That was- - Nah, dude. - Fuck the cockroach man. - The most monkey moment goes to, drum roll please. - Wow, I did not expect that. Connor trying to smash the coconut. - What? - I did not expect that. - I just fucking went Super Smash Brothers on it.

- Guys, come on, I wanna go. - It's funny because you're just doing the exact same shit I was doing. - Actually, now that I view this clip, that does look pretty monkey. It's just kind of going, "Ooh, monkey hit the stick, ooh, ooh." - All right, what was the breakdown? - What was the breakdown? - 25.8%. Second place was God drinking the concoction on set. - Oh my God, okay. - And then Emily getting stuck in the trash can. - Yes. - Oh no, no, no. It was Sydney dabbing on strangers.

- I'm impressed that so many of them are very close. - Yeah. Well, I'm surprised Sydney almost came close to, she was second. - Second, second. - God damn. Okay. - I can't believe Emily isn't higher, genuinely. I mean, that is truly a monkey moment. - Yeah. - But fair enough, fair enough.

- All right. - What was last? What was last? - I think it was you having yourself as a snitch. - Okay, okay. I'm surprised. I mean, I guess the Sally episode was a very, very popular one. I'm surprised. Just her repeating my hottest take of the year didn't get as many votes either. - Yeah, right? - Yeah. - Fair enough.

- All right. - All right. - Well, next is a new category, right? - A new category. - Who's presenting this one? - I am. This is the most out of pocket conversation. - Yeah. So we had a few drinks. We had more than a few drinks. - We had the most amount of drinking episodes this year. - We had a few drinking episodes this year. And sometimes we had some conversations that I don't know where they came from. I don't know how they started. It's on film, but I still to this day don't know how we got on the topic of some of these coffees. - I'm really scared to relive these memories.

- So we have gone worrying about Sydney's smell before he met her. - I mean, it was a genuine concern. - No, no, it was a genuine concern. I think the thing with this one was that it just came out of fucking nowhere. Like we were talking about something completely different. Then you were like, have you ever worried about what your partner smells like? - Can we play it if you say it honestly? - There are some senses that you can't get on a video call. And I'm like, I remember having this thought being like, what if I don't like the way she smells?

Like that's a big thing. That's a big thing. - I think we missed out the beginning of this conversation where I can't remember how I presented the idea to you boys. - No, you were talking to me about long distance relationships.

- Yeah, and then that's how that conversation came up. I just didn't think it was gonna go down the smell route. Connor clogging his toilet with poop. - So I take a poop, but unfortunately this was a fucking massive goddamn poop that I took. And now my toilet bowl was very much too full. I was like, all right, we gotta try and flush this. So I got the two liter bottles of water. So I put it in the tank. I flushed the four liters.

- Nothing. It didn't budge at all. - Wow. - Okay. - Is that out of pocket or is that just like classic monkey Connor mode? - Maybe that's just classic monkey Connor moment. But this one, even though we talk about shitting a lot, we talk about shitting a lot. There's been a few times in the podcast where I've laughed so hard that my stomach started hurting. This was one of them. - Three, two, one. Joey!

- Why do we all know that you're gonna shoot yourself? - So it was like Joey explaining

the entire process of just how often he shits himself. It was this entire conversation. This was just the start of it. Do you remember this conversation? - I've never met anyone who's so willing to shit himself. - Well, I don't gamble at a casino, but I do gamble every time I fart. - I just, they're hearing the story about like, oh yeah, by the way, I was hanging out with Aki. I was like, I was gonna pull a prank. - No, no, no, it was the,

- I was playing guess my fart with her and then I farted and she got it right and we were laughing and then I walked out of the room and I realized I sharted myself. - Conversation just got more and more wild the longer it went on, man. - Yeah, that was bad.

- Oh my God. - All right, how many eight year olds can the boys beat up? We went off on this conversation for like 30 minutes. It was way longer than it should have been. - There is. - Who is the most cringe person in history? - Yeah, Gar asked this and I was like, why would you ask this?

- I don't remember what the conversation, what the topic of this was. It was one of the, was there a drinking one? I think I was sober from this one actually. - No, it was not a drinking one. - The only thing I remember from this is that I think the next episode we filmed after this one was a guest one. I think it might've been the Alex Lee episode. And 'cause we have a monitor right here that we see and he looked at our search history and he's like, "Why did you look up the most cringe person in history?"

- Where did that come from? - And the boys explained their first time J-Oing. Again, a conversation that went on for weeks. - I know.

- I can't remember what. - What have I said, but I just- - Oh, I did the fire starter, remember? And I hurt myself. Do you remember that? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I forgot about that. - Well, let's see which one took it out. - All right. - Oh my God. - Here we go. - What was the most- - What do you guys think? What do you guys think? - Oh, this is hard. - Honestly, I think- - Joey can't stop shitting himself. - Any of mine, I reckon. - Who's the most cringy person in history? - That one too. All right, let's find out then.

- The most out of pocket conversation for Trash Taste. - How many eight year olds can the boys beat up? - I'm impressed. If they're all attacking you at the same time, how many eight year olds do you think you can beat in a- - I think after 10, I'm done. - You think you can take on 10? - You're satisfied?

- I'm satisfied. - I finished the quest. - I've done it. - Wow, this was very, very close. - 32.4%. Second place was the boys explained their first time J-O-ing. And then close third was Garnt worrying about Sydney's smell and then it's me shitting myself. - Very close though, generally. - Yeah, all four of those were very close.

- Who's the most cringe person is the lowest. - Yeah, who's the most cringe person is the lowest. I'm surprised Joey shitting himself was not higher.

- Maybe it's 'cause we talk about shitting so often, but even that compared to like other shitting stories. - I can't believe I shit myself in vain. - I saw someone posted on the Reddit, which is just like a skit between like a comedic skit about two guys talking about shitting themselves. And it was just like the exact same reaction to like Joey talking about shitting himself. - It's because shitting yourself is so funny. - It is funny. It is objectively funny. - It's so funny. - I will admit that.

- I don't know about that. - Joey's shitting himself. - Joey's shitting himself. - He's shitting himself. - Very funny. - I do not like shitting myself. - Hearing someone else shitting themselves is the funniest thing on the planet. - All right, well done though. - All right, so obviously we don't like to rate guest episodes and stuff like that because every guest we bring on is amazing and you guys should obviously watch all of them. But obviously some of them have been pretty wild. - Pretty wild compared to some others. And the...

These were your nominations for the wildest guest episodes this year. So we had some repeating and returning guests this year and we had some new guests this year and everyone absolutely bought their A game. - Yeah, so the most recent one as of this award is the Alex Lee episode. - Yeah, we have Alex Lee, Sally Amaki,

- Pete's second episode. - Always a pleasure. - We have Mudan. - We have Felix's second episode, Rinrin's, Cold Ones. - I can't believe that was this year. - Yeah, I know, right? I'm just looking at all these and I'm like, holy shit, this was filmed this year? - I thought this was like for last year's award category. - Oh my God, I did a thing. - I did a thing in Boy Boy. There was some wild stories in that one, man. - And then obviously the girl, Super Eyepatch Wolf. - And John, Super Eyepatch Wolf.

- Yeah, I don't really know who would take this one. - Yeah, I mean, all of them said some pretty wild shit. - And we had some pretty wild stories from all of them this year. So I guess we shall just reveal the winner. All right, the winner of the wildest guest episode this year goes to, congratulations,

Coming back with the W again. Wow. Wow. I'm shocked. I'm shocked. I didn't expect that. Wow. I thought it was going to be like cold ones or, you know, even Sally has said some wild shit. Alex Lee had a wild story as well. I think people just see Pete and vote. People just love Pete, man. I can't blame them.

- I did as well. - Yeah. - 22.2% to Pete. Second place there was Cold Ones. - Cold Ones. - Obviously that's not surprising. - That is not surprising at all. - And then we had Alex Lee. We had Mudon coming in with the win. And then I did a thing. - Yeah, I mean, that was very weird. - Yeah. - Yeah, that was some wild things. - And a Felix one as well. - I like how, you know what I find the funniest?

So how we normally do this is we take up the nominations of the blind nominations that you guys put down. Apparently no one put down Chris.

- No one put Chris. - No one put Chris. - At all? There's like zero Chris's? - Because to the audience it's like, he's just a regular. - That's not even a guest episode anymore. - He's a member. - That's not even a guest episode anymore. - Oh my God. Well, congratulations Pete for another award once again. - Congrats, congratulations.

- We gotta invite Pete back on now because will anyone be able to dethrone Pete as the wildest guest episode? - I mean he just has the best stories. - He does. - The Pete episode is the easiest to record. - Yeah, he talks for most of it. - He's so good that you just listen. You just listen when Pete speaks. - Which I guess we like moves right on to our next category. Let's see if Pete can do the double.

- Is he nominated again for best story? - Of course. - It's Pete. - We have the best story to come out of Trash Taste this year. - We had some fucking amazing stories. - I love best story four. Let's have a look at the nominations for this. - We have Alex Lee's origin story. - Which is wild. - Which was an entire anime arc through like in itself.

- If the anime was fraud. - Why a game, why a matchup? - That's all I remember that. It's just him, he was like, "And so I lied." It's like the entire story. - And then we have Pete's radio story as well. - I love that story. - You hear the story and the way it ties up, this is a scene from a movie. - It sounds like an Adam Sandler movie. - We have Rinrin getting into the Yakuza modeling or creator agency.

- Connor's story with the drunk naked Japanese man. - Oh yeah. - I don't even think he was drunk. That's the worst part. That's just normal. - That's just him. - Muran used to get requests to edit adult videos. And then the boys explained it the first time. - All right, okay. - Okay. - And we have Sali Yamaki becoming an idol by accident. - Which was wild as well. This was an interesting one. Just seeing how she,

went all secret agents and somehow became a fucking idol. - Yeah, I mean, I have a feeling I know who's going to win, but we've had a couple of upsets so far. So I honestly don't know. - I don't know. - Let's find out. - Those are all fucking wild stories. This was an absolutely stacked category. - Yeah, I mean, it's always the hardest one 'cause there's so many stories being told in the show. - Let's find out then Connor. - And the winner is.

- Connor's story on his night out with the drunk naked. - Oh wow. - Wow. - Wow, okay. - It's in English. - Yeah. - And I was like, oh God. I was like, what, what is it? And he shows this video of a dude naked smashing chopsticks with his ass. And I was like, what the fuck?

- I'm pretty sure that's a Yakuza side quest, isn't it? - Yeah, so, and I tell you in the episode that you sent me a dick pic. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I can't believe that. - Yeah. - I can't believe that. - So that, oh wow. So we had top three. We had obviously Connor. - Top three very, very close. - With 29.4%. Coming in very close with 25% is Pete's radio station story. And just behind that is Alex Lee's origin story.

- Oh. - Yeah. - Damn, all right. So that was definitely the contenders for sure. - That was top three were almost neck and neck there. - Yeah, nearly over 75% of the votes went to those two votes. - Well, I think there was just so many strong nominations. - Oh yeah. - I mean, this is one of the categories I think people wish they could vote for like two or three at least. - Yeah, true.

And yeah, hopefully we have more fantastic stories coming up next year as well. - I'm sure we will. - The next one is another fan favorite. Every year we have one of these because there are just so many examples of it. We have the biggest clown. We had some clown moments as we've already established so far in this recap episode. - I don't remember who won last year. - Me. - Has there been a year you haven't won? - I think I've won every single time.

- I know, I know. I know, I live it. - Well, let's see if you can take the fourth time. - What was it? Biggest clown was Chris and biggest Chad was, no. - No, biggest Chad was Pete last year. - That's right, that's right. - I think there was a year though. I think it was the second year where Chris won biggest clown and biggest Chad.

- I think it was something like that. I don't know. - I can't remember. - I remember I was second and I was the only one that was second. - Yes, yes. - All right, let's look at the nominations though. We have Connor, Garnt, Joey and Chris. There's Chris. The first time Chris gets mentioned in this award. - Oh my fucking God. - He's the biggest clown. - He's the biggest clown. - Also, I love these.

these fucking photos. - It's just me nutting. - Joey come face. - All right, let's find out then boys. - Who is the best clown? - Not the best clown, the biggest clown. - Not me, the biggest clown. - Better not be me. - Let's find out. - I'd laugh at you if it was Chris. - Can't be me. - The biggest clown of this year goes to Connor. - Why do I keep winning this? What have I done? I don't understand why I'm the biggest clown.

Why? I mean, I saw it coming. Why? 40%. Why?

- Why is Joey the least? - Let's go, thank you guys. - He was shit himself. - Chris came second. - Chris came second. - I don't understand why I'm getting voted here. - Oh my God. - Oh man. - Well, what a shocker guys. - Connor, congratulations once again. - Congratulations. - Winning biggest clown. - Congratulations Connor, he got it again. - I gotta understand what I did this time. What did I do? - Congratulations. - What did I do? - Half these fucking takes Connor. - Oh my God. - But,

- Let's go the opposite. - Next up, we have the complete opposite because next up we have Biggest Chad and I believe quite a few more people got nominated for this one. - What the heck? Why were they not nominated for Biggest Clown?

- Let's see who the nominations are. - Oh, now the photos are nice. All right. - Okay, okay. - Okay, I see. - We have Akina Connor right there. - Thanks, thank you, thank you. - Why did you choose this picture of me? - I love that photo of you. - There's no other Chad pics. - I hate that picture. - There's no other Chad pics in here. - There's Joey, Alex Lee, Felix, Mudan. - We also have Pete. - Pete. - And then Chad.

- I guess it makes sense. - Specifically Chad. - What a T-shirt. - Sorry, Max. - Where's Chris? - Yeah, no Chris. - No Chris. - No Chris this year? - Chris just not voted in the biggest show. - Will Pete take it again two years? - Was there not enough nominations? Who do you think has this one? - Probably Pete. - Pete's the crowd favorite, man. - Bro, if you raised a million for charity and you didn't get biggest Chad. - I didn't know about that.

- I didn't know you were counting that. - I guess so. - The universe of trash taste. - I don't know if we've had a point where someone's won biggest clown and biggest chad before. Maybe this will be time. - I think Chris did on the second year. - All right. - If I remember correctly. Let's find out. - Well, the biggest trash taste chad of 2024 is, oh, congratulations.

- It was the charity bro. - Oh my God. - By no points. - Here's the thing, I think the results just got. - Updated. - So it's by point one. - It was Pete.

- The last minute upset. - Within this episode. - Why do we not close the votes? - Within this episode being recorded, the nominations are now null and void. The winner for biggest shout out of 2024 is

- Congratulations Pete. - What the fuck? Why didn't we end? We said we were ending the vote. - By 0.1%. - The last minute slide in. - Pete has just edged it out within the last hour and a half. - That's so funny. - That we started recording.

- Oh my God, that's so funny. - Hey man, hey man, game's a game. - Did you do this on purpose? - No. - This seems like something you would do on purpose, Garnt. - Look at the fucking voting, man. I can't fix that, man. I can't fix that. - Why would you tell me how to- - You lost by 16 votes last minute.

That's so funny. Congratulations, Pete. Biggest Chad once again. Hold on. I can't actually believe that happened. Stop the recording. Stop the recording. I actually can't believe that. What the fuck? That's so cruel. Yeah, so here's the thing. When I wrote that down, when I printed everything out, it was the same. Oh, it's neck and neck. Yeah, and then I closed it. Yeah. Voila. Point one. Wow. Okay, so...

- Within, yeah, within the... - See, this is why every vote counts, guys. - I can't believe I lost for like 10 votes. - Hey guys, democracy, guys. - Democracy. - If you are upset with it, well, you should have voted. - I'm the only one upset by it. - Did you vote Connor? - No, I didn't vote.

- I can't vote, that's not fair. - You could have voted. - Yeah, you could have voted. - You could have done it. Just five volts accounts and you would have taken it. - All right, well done. - All right, let's go to the next one here. We have the biggest W of the year.

There were far and few in between, but there were certainly a couple noteworthy ones. So let's go through them. Obviously, of course, as we just mentioned, "Connor Cyclothon 3" raising over a million dollars, which is absolutely insane. We have the "Trash Taste Europe Tour." Not sure if you're sure, I guess. - Sure, sure.

- Connor getting the dub and riding the helicopter in the Hawaii special. - Big double use. - Sorry if that was a spoiler if you haven't seen the Hawaii special yet. Chris becoming Sunday Times bestseller. I mean, that is a W. - No, that doesn't count. - That doesn't count. - The fans would wait for that. - Yeah, and then me launching my first anime collab job. - Yeah. - Which is, yeah, it's all right, I guess. - What are you talking about, Joey? - No, I was pretty hyped. - You are literally coming back as the anime man. - It was hype, it was hype.

- I mean, look, I think we all know what's gonna win this one. - Yeah, it's clearly Chris. - It's clearly Chris Sunday times best seller. - And the winner is, "Cyclothon 3." - Well deserved. - The vote's gonna change last minute again. Did Chris suddenly get 5,000 more? - I mean, it wasn't even a competition. 87.7%. I mean, that's just, yeah, obviously. - 87.7%. - That's the biggest margin. - Congratulations.

- Wow, Chris got second though. - Chris got second. - Chris got second. I can't believe Chris got second over like everything else. He practically bought his way into the summer. He probably bought like 10,000 himself.

- Wow. I mean, the rest of them were pretty much irrelevant compared to your cyclothons. So congratulations. That was well deserved. - Appreciate it. Very nice. Thank you. Thank you. - All right. Well done. - All right. - What's next? - Now we are gonna go over to the meme side of things because it is of course time for the best meme of the year. See, I haven't been keeping up with the memes, the Trash Taste memes this year. So I think I'm gonna be seeing a lot of these for the first time. You guys seen a bunch of memes this year? - I don't know.

- I also haven't been keeping up too much. - My favorite one is you coming. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I hope that's on there. - That's by far my favorite. - Well, I think some of the top road to Reddit posts were for the out of context clips and best screenshots. So these, I think how we defined meme was actually something that is edited. - Okay, got it, got it. - Let's go through nominations then, shall we? Chris jumping off a boat gone wrong. - Oh, I love this one. - I haven't seen this one. Can I see this? - Literally a one foot drop.

That's such a good edit! Oh my god. Alright, we have same energy. Roland giving off Dio vibes. Oh, this is from my video. Yeah. You were the top host in Japan. How many girls did you hang out with? I wonder. Do you usually drink coffee? Yes, I do. Do you remember how many times you drank?

It's so calm. I do love this Genshin one. I love this animation. My honest reaction to the last 3x3. This is so good.

This is slander. What is this?

- How is that one of the top million memes? - It's so good. - That's so good. - What? - I love how slow it is too. - There's also like another one with like, people always edit around and it's someone using like the card reader in the store and it flips around. It's so good. - Oh my God. All right. Why did I do this? AI Gaunt singing "Idol." What? I don't think I've seen this one. ♪ What the key no egg a order like a mediac ♪

- Oh my God, even fucking, even AI can't fix my voice, man. - I know. - All right, Chris is a mad lad. Let's see this one. - Hello and welcome to another episode of Trash Taste. I am here with the boys and we have a special guest as you can see. Are you a special guest anymore, Chris? - I've got plums for you.

- That's so good. - I mean, that's my favorite by far. - That's so good. - That's so good. All right.

- What was he doing? - I don't know. - All right, the boys discussing the dick sizes. - Here's the question. Do you have like a growth limit in terms of like your body? - I think so, yeah. - How long does it get? - I don't know, like that? - Yeah, mine's about that. - That doesn't bother you? Like that long and it doesn't bother you? - No, no, no, like that. As in like between these two distances. - Like about that. - Oh, like that? Oh, mine gets fucking long. Mine gets like that, which is why I have- - Yo, you're what the fuck?

- There's so many memes. - There's so many memes. All right, let's go next page. - Next page. - All right. Oh my God. - Bro thought he was really sly with that. - I love this one. - Wait, what? Let me see. - You gone? - I'd rather be in the slaughter anyway. - Let's relax, Neskip. - Yeah, come back. - Let's relax. - Cheers. - Here's Big Man. - It's Big Man, okay.

Okay, in defense, Chris made me do that take like seven times. And so I had to keep opening up a beer can like seven times. And I'm like, "Chris, I don't wanna keep opening up these beer cans if no one's gonna drink it." - He's obsessed with like you cracking the can. - Yeah. So I was just like, and then Chris was like, "I'll just pretend to open it." I was like, "Okay." So I tried, but clearly.

- Oh, damn it. - Oh God. - All right. - This one's so cursed. - Aerodynamic gone from nine and a half pounds. - What the fuck? - Oh, is this the Lil Yachty? - Yeah. - Edit.

Oh my God. All right, what's this one? Trash Taze number 1,500. See, I've almost finished mine and you're just chugging yours like a little baby, huh? You're an English guy. You guys drink beer for a living over there because you've got some of the worst food in the world over there. Listen, the top 10 restaurants in the world are in London. And what kind of food do they make? French. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

- Wow, that was a vision of us. And we also have, oh yes, of course, that was the biggest one, the Trash Taste Netflix live adaptation. - That was a big meme trend over on the Reddit. - Yeah. - And Mob Psycho 100.

- I fucking love this edit as well. Chris's edit is terrifying. - All right, but who's the winner? - I don't know. - I really want Chris's a mad lad to win. That was so fucking funny. - Chris's a mad lad was so good. - That was so funny. All the dicks said length ones. - Well, who's the winner? Let's find out. - Let's find out. All right, the best meme of this year goes to the Trash Taste Netflix live adaptation.

- Well deserved. - Well done. - I mean, this one was like on the Reddit for so long. - This was the unofficial sequel to the after dark, the dark timeline. - Dark timeline. - Yeah. - What are the breakdowns? - Whoa. - Whoa. Very close between the top three. - Okay. - We had- - Boys discussing their dick sizes, number two with a couple percent. Just behind that is the aerodynamic card.

- I hate you guys. I hate you guys so much. - The Chris one was, the Chris one's a- - Oh, Chris one was so low. - 6.9% though. - 6.9%. - Too long. - Yeah, maybe it was too long. - Yeah, it was too long. - But for the next one, I think this is a new one as well. - Yes, 'cause lately Moonland's been fact checking us. - Yeah. So our editor basically got tired of our shit.

And unprompted without us asking or even telling us that he was doing this, he started to fact check us for the audience. And this was for you guys because he was literally tired of the shit that was being- - As if Munar wasn't working hard already. He just had to put more work on himself. - He actively chose to give himself more work. - More billable hours. - Yeah. I don't know. I don't watch all the episodes, so I don't actually know any of these. - Yeah. - Yeah. So I'm curious to see what the nominations are.

- All right, Mudan defending his anime three by three. - Wow, really? - Of course. - That's not even a fact check. - Of course, wait.

- Let me, okay. So Mudan says, "So I sent them this list of anime with explanations, but something happened in the process. Now they have no idea why I picked some of the shows." So he basically just wrote an entire essay. - Yeah, he's defending himself. All right. Connor talking about the Dune books and the movies. - Connor is kind of wrong. - Connor is kind of wrong. - Does this have a clip?

- I want you to play the clip. - Because the first book is like 900 pages long. - Yeah, because the first book was like three other books that he combined into one. - I feel like... - I'm not wrong. I'm not wrong, Garnt. I'm not wrong. - Are you sure? Can we fact check this? - Oh my. - I'm not wrong. - The original book was published as two separate serials in one, "Dune Prophet."

- I'm the only one correct. - It's just the confidence in Connor going, "I'm not wrong." Connor is kind of wrong. - I'm kind of wrong. Hey, I've been very wrong before, so I'll take kind of wrong. - Yeah, like this next one here, "Is Connor right?" "No." That one was my favorite. And then Munan fact checking docking during the entire episode. Did he do that?

- Yeah, he did. - Let me read this. The act of docking is when one male stretches the foreskin of his penis over the other man's penis. It's a little small. Docking will result in more satisfactory orgasms if one or both men ejaculate a bit during or before the act. Too much semen will make it more...

- Awkward to move around inside the male's foreskin. - That is vile. - That appeared on one of our episodes. - Oh, that's so funny. - If he just said, "Should I put this in?" I'd be like, "No." - I would've said yes. - Why did he put this in? - I don't know why he put that in. - Oh my God. - What was the winner? - Let's find out what the winner is. - But the winner is for the best mood on fact check of the year is Connor Wright. - No.

- Yeah, I mean, I'm not really surprised. - Oh my God, it wasn't even close. - Picture speaks a thousand words. - I'm so glad though that the docking is second. - The docking came second. - Yeah. - Yeah, I mean, that is the best fact check. - I appreciate that one. Thank you. Thank you for always having my back.

- Thank you, moving on. - All right, next one. - Yeah, last one, best trip. - All right, best trip. - Yep. - Let's find out then. Let's go through the nominations. We have got Rinrin, obviously, Pete, Vy, Connor, and Keeley.

- And Khan's dad. Why is your dad on here? - It's the off-eye shirt. - Oh my God. Did your dad vote in this? - It's a problem. - He was like, "I think I'm dressed in pretty good." To be fair, your dad does dress fucking dapper. - 'Cause he has my fucking shirts on. Dad, get away from me. - I love Pete, but how the hell did he get in here? - I don't know. - Yeah, I don't know. - It's the scarf, man. It's the scarf. - Let's hear about it then. Come on, let's see who won. - That's you, bro. - Is it? Oh yeah, it is.

- Bro's checked out right now. - I didn't know it was mine. I didn't know it was mine. And the winner is, drum roll please. - Gantz Dad! - Yeah! Well deserved. - Wow. I didn't expect that one, but yeah. - I mean, look at him, bro. He's so dapper. - Rinrin was second, which makes sense. - That makes sense. And then it's me and then Pete. - What the fuck? - Pete beat you guys.

- Garn is the least. - Garn is the fucking way. - You're the least ripped out. - What? - No, no, you know what? It's because all of Garn's votes went to his Garn's dad. - That's all in your dad's jeans. - It's all in my dad's jeans. I got my mom's jeans for my drip, unfortunately. - Look, Garn may not have won, but the men are tough as well. - Congratulations, dad, for winning. - Hold on, Garn's dad. - Please don't wear the shirt again in public. - No, please, no, please keep wearing it. Dress swag, man. You are dripping with swag.

- All right, next one is another very trash taste thing, which is the best argument. We've had a lot of arguments, some of them resolved, some of them definitely not resolved. - Can I have some more wine please? - Yes, I mean, if you mean champagne, then yes. - Yes. - What are the nominations for this one? - Yeah, we have...

- Oh, what does the vibe even mean? I mean, this is probably the most trash taste argument we've had. - That was the most brain rot I had on the podcast, I think. - Alex Lee defending Zenitsu as a character. Tuna can taste good as a beef, what?

- I think I said like it could taste as, yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Sorry, I'm dumb. - Wait, what the fuck? Oh yeah, you're right, actually. - Wait, wait, who the fuck said that? - No, I misread it as tuna can taste like as steak. - Oh, I see. - Right, I sound like this is making me, but it could taste as good as, which is a good argument. - No, no, no, you said- - It could taste as good, yeah. - No, you said tuna, you said that tuna can taste like a beef steak.

- You will know the steak. I remember, yeah, the steak I'm on about. I know the one I'm talking about. - Yes. - It's very good. - Yeah, the tuna one. - Can we play the clip? - Yeah, I'm correct. - But to say that it tastes like a beef steak. - You can cook a tuna that tastes as good as a steak. And like it can have the texture and like profile of a steak.

- You can do it. - I disagree. - Can I fact check that real quick? We're gonna fact check that. - There's no fact check for taste. - Cannot play media. - Cannot play media. Ah, okay, okay. Saved by the bell. - We'll play for the episode. - It can easily taste as good as stuff. - All right, well Connor just said he is- - Or as similar texture. I stand by that. - Okay, okay. And then of course room temperature water is better than cold water. That was a heated argument. - I mean, I'm correct.

- You're not correct. But I feel like out of all of these, the vibe is just the most brain rot one. I think that was the one I got most irrationally angry about because- - 'Cause I was right. - We all got irrationally angry. - I was right. I was the most right. - I think I got emotionally angry 'cause I didn't even know what we were arguing about. - The vibe. We were arguing about the vibe. - We got way too esoteric about it. - If that doesn't win, I will be pissed off. - Let's find out then. The best argument for this year goes to, drum roll please.

- What does the vibe even mean? - Yes. - The problem is that you are trying to quantify the vibe. Stop.

Stop trying to, this is the whole point of the vibe. It isn't one thing. It's how it makes you feel, the whole art. - 41% actually. The second place was room temperature water is better than cold water. Yeah, we went hard on that. And then Alex Lee and then the tuna one. - See, the vibe was the best trash. - I think the vibe one was the best one because I swear we were talking about it for like an hour. - We were talking about it for so long. - It was really long. - It was so long. - I think the worst part of that is that we just,

- We just agreed to disagree. - We didn't even come close to a conclusion. We were just like, "Just shut the fuck up." - I swear most of the comments were in agreement that my vibe was- - No, most of the comments were not in agreement. - They were. - Most of the comments were just like, "What is bro cooking?" - No, most of the- - "What is bro cooking?" - As I said in the episode, I predicted it. Everyone's gonna be like, "I agree with Connor, but he said it dumb." - No, all the comments were like, "What the fuck are they even talking about?" - Yeah, all the comments were as angry as we were to be like, "I am losing brain cells listening to this right now." - Mo-Dan, fact check. Top 10 comments. How many of them agree with me? - No, don't do that. - How many of them agree with me?

- All right. - All right, and then the next one. - Let's go to the next one. - Next one, we have most privileged moments. - Have we had this one before? - Yes, I think we did it last time. - Did we? - We did it last year. - Okay, okay. Let's find out then, shall we? - Why are half of these me, first of all? - I mean, makes sense. Connor following a strange yuck as a guy to a bar and getting handed all of his alcohol. - Oh yeah, you did get- - Yeah, I remember that. - Free alcohol, right? - Garnt impulse buying a Vespa.

- I mean, that's just a good purchase. - Being able to impulse buy a Vespa is a privilege. - That's just a good decision. - Yeah, that's a great decision. - Connor's obsession with luxury movie centers, that is privileged. - How is that privilege? I want to feel like a king while I watch my movies. - Connor accidentally using the company card on Uber Eats. That's not privilege, that's just monkey. - Connor just can't, I mean, it's more like Connor can't stop using Uber Eats. - Yeah. - Sydney bidding $5,000 for a Smosh comic.

- That's pretty privileged. - That is so privileged. And then Garnt being too lazy to make a salad. - That is so privileged. - That's so fucked. - Okay, okay. That might be a bit privileged, but I asked you boys, when was the last time you boys made a salad? - I don't eat salad. - I mean, I refuse to engage. - When was the last time you made your own food, Joey? - I'm not engaging with this. - Wait, wait, wait. When was the last time you guys made your own food? - Couple of weeks ago.

- Oh shit. - Actually, a couple weeks ago I did. - Oh shit, Joey. - I helped my sister cook. - So you helped your sister cook? - No. - You didn't even cook for yourself? - I was involved. - This was like six months ago.

- Yeah, before that it was like a year ago. - I heat stuff up in the oven all the time. - Yeah, it's great. Microwave, that's cooking. But the winner for the most privileged moment is, I don't know what's gonna win this one actually. It is... - Please not me, please not me. - Congratulations Sydney for bidding $5,000 for a Smosh comic. - I want you to win it. I know how desperately you want this, but you gotta go to 47 if you wanna get it.

- That is actually privileged. - Wow. - I mean, she didn't even win in the end. - She didn't win. - Oh, she didn't win? - She was like, all right, I'm gonna bid $5,000 and someone bid 5,001.

- And then she was like, "Too far." - No, no, I can't anymore. - God damn. - Well done, Sydney. So Sydney won with 26% and all the other ones were very even. - This was really, really close. - Second place was Garnt being too busy to make a sound. - No, no, no, second place was Connor. - Oh, no, no, Connor accidentally used the company card in Uber Eats. - But Garnt was third. - Garnt was third and then after was Connor's Yakuza one and then Garnt impulse buying a Vespa and then, wow, Connor's movie?

- What one was the last one? - That's not a, like, what the hell? That's not even like a weird take. These movies cost the same as normal movie cinemas. I just want them good. - No, they don't. - They do. - I've been to your cinema. - Which cinema? - The luxury one. - Yeah, the luxury one. - I didn't like that one though.

- I like the one in America. - Add that to the privilege bonus one actually please. - 'Cause in the UK you pay like fucking 40 pounds to go watch a movie and it's shit. And then you can pay 40 pounds in America. - It is not 40 pounds in the UK. When was the last time you went to the cinema in the UK? - It was 19 pounds last time I bought a movie ticket. - In London? - Yeah, but that's 19 pounds. That's like 25 bucks for a fucking ticket.

- Yeah, 19 pounds is pretty fucked. - That's fucked. And then you get in, you can't recline your chair. It's fucking mid as fuck. We deserve better. In America, you pay like fucking $15 and you get a full reclining chair and the fucking giant room. And then you get to refill your popcorn. Americans have figured it out. - See?

- Listen to Connor, UK cinemas, why can't you recline your chairs? Movie is unwatchable. - No, no. - Literally unwatchable. My chair doesn't recline. - I'm sorry that you want your like fucking rinky dinky ass chair and I want some comfort in America. They got freedom and they know what's up. - I have a disease where if my back is more than 50 degrees incline, I just can't watch it, man.

I stopped working. - I just don't wanna let these cinemas get away with shit quality. - It's fine quality. - It's shit quality. - No one's complaining except for you. - We deserve to recline. We're paying 19 pounds for a ticket. - Oh my God. - All right, anyway. - Anyway, all right, let's go to the next one, which is another typical Trash Taste one, the I made it the fuck up award. - Okay. - 'Cause we are very good at that. - Let's have a look at the nominations. - Let's look at the nominations.

- Harambe tide of natural causes. - This is my personal favorite. - Is that made it the fuck up or is that just like oblivious? - No, he made it the fuck up. - He made it the fuck up, but then he realized afterwards that he made it the fuck up. - I love when he realized. - I'm not wrong about the dune books, me. Water from the Arctic is fresh water. - And Felix's system for saying thank you so much in traffic. Oh yeah, the number of blinks. - Yeah, which I never understood. - He did make that the fuck up. - He did make it up, yeah.

- Hey, I'm not on here. - Awesome. - So should we find out who made it the fuck up the most? - All right. - Whose take was so abhorrent that everyone decided that it was so dumb. All right, drum roll please. The winner of the biggest I made it the fuck up award goes to Pete for saying that Harambee died of natural causes. - Yay! - Two time winner. - Oh wait, we had a bunch of other ones. - Oh shit.

- Oh, nevermind. It doesn't matter because Pete's won one. - Wait, okay. So I didn't know we had another slide. What else was nominated? Alex Lee saying he has voice acting experience on his, I mean his entire career star sub was "I made it the fuck up." - Gone Thinking Avatar: The Last Airbender was by James Cameron.

I do remember this moment actually. And then cow burps are the reason the ozone layer is getting thin. Did I say that? - Ozone is different. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I realized that.

I was like, always greenhouse gases. - I like that Joey has double fact checked in one screen for that one. - That's impressive. - But who came second? - Second was, no, Alex Lee. - Alex Lee came second. - And then the cow burps. No, it wasn't cow burps. It was Felix's system for saying thank you. - Then cow burps.

- That was a lot of, I made it the fuck up. - I didn't make any of it up. Thank God I didn't win anything. - I mean you did, but it wasn't as bad as Harambe. - I didn't get in the top three. - All right. - All right, what's next? - All right, we are up to the penultimate category here. We have, of course, the best,

- Trash Taste special of the year because unlike the last couple of years, we've been going ham on getting you guys as many specials as possible. We actually have more than one this year. - I think we released more specials this year than the last two years combined.

- Wow, I mean, that's not hard. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. We released by more than two, I think. - More than two. So yeah, let's go through all of the nominations that we've done. So we have our America show that we did on the America tour. We have the Made Cafe special we did in Australia. We have our most recent one as of us filming, the Hawaii special. Please go check it out if you haven't yet. Actually go check out all of these.

We have the America special where we shot some guns and got terrified. And then we have the Kendo special where I showed a gene dominance.

- You can say that, Joey. - I can say that. - You can say that. - Dominance. - Just sheer gene diff. - I think we're pretty confident who we think might win this one. - I hope. - Recency bias combined with- - I would be curious to see what comes second. - Sure, sure. But let's find out, shall we? The best Trash Taste Special of the year, unsurprisingly, the Hawaii Special. - Way.

- Yay, can we see the breakdown? - Let's see the breakdown of this. - Wow. - Whoa. - 73%. - 73%. - Second place was the main special. - Okay, the main special came second. - And then we have the America tour special just inching out and then the America special and then the Kenner special. - That was the least voted special. - Wow, damn, all right. - Okay, that's interesting. - I mean, I'm glad the Hawaii special won because we put the most amount of effort into that one. - It wasn't just the money, time, everything. - Everything and you know, we wanna do,

like once something like the Hawaii special, at least like once a year. We don't have enough energy to do it more than once a year, I think. But hopefully you guys are enjoying the smaller scale ideas that we were doing outside of that because you will already have more coming. We've already filmed more so we can actually safely say more things are gonna be coming.

So yeah, hope you guys enjoy more future specials like we promised at the beginning of this year. - And if you haven't seen any of these specials, please go and do so 'cause they're all great. - Yes. - All right. - Which comes to the final big boy award. The best trash taste episode of the year.

- All right, let's look at the nomination, shall we? - The nominations were "The Struggles of an Inspiring Voice", sorry, actor. He's not a voice actor, he's just an actor. Featuring Pete, exposing our editor, featuring Mudan, "The Most Drunk We've Ever Been on Trash Taste", "The Truth of Anime Voice Acting" with Alex Lee. And I believe there's a second page as well.

- We watched your hentai suggestions and regret it. Our biggest dating red flags and we ruined our friendships. - All great episodes. - I think we made a very conscious decision after around 170. Kind of changed how we did the shows a little bit. - All thematic. - And so it seems to, I'm glad that people seem to have resonated with the changes. - Yeah, from these nominations, it seems that aside from guest episodes, pretty much everything has been,

after the format change where we decided to structure a bit more. And I'm glad that you guys seem to be enjoying it. - Thank you guys. - And honestly, speaking personally, all of these were really fun to film. And there's sometimes a discrepancy between what the audience finds fun and what was like really fun to film on the day. And yeah, I can say, if you say a lot of these line up to my own experience. - What was my personal favorite from this? - Yeah, I'm trying to think.

- Let's keep it to later. - All right, okay. - Okay, let's find out then, shall we? Garnt, do the honors. - All right. The best "Trash Taste" episode that you guys enjoyed the most this year was... - Oh! - The struggles of an... - The peed episode!

- The struggles of an aspiring actor featuring premiere two. - Fucking hell Garnt, you had one job. - I had one fucking job. - Wow. - Bro, I haven't had lunch yet.

- Wait, did Pete's episode win last year? - It did win last year as well. - Holy fuck, you guys love Pete. - Pete swept this year. - 32% goes to Pete. - 32%. - It wasn't good enough for him to take away my biggest chance. Take the best episode too, bastard. - And then the second one was the most drunk we've been on trash. I mean, you guys love the drunk episodes clearly. - Oh, that was 169? - Yeah, and then we had a tie for third place between the Alex Lee episode and the

the hentai episode. - Yep. - Damn, all right. - And just closely behind was the Mudan episode. - The Mudan episode. - Yeah. - And- - Friendship and dating red flags. All right, well, congratulations again, Pete, for sweeping another award. - Congrats, congrats, congrats.

- How many did he win? Like four of them? - I think he won nearly everything he was in except for best trip. So congrats Pete. Well deserved, well deserved I gotta say. - Will anyone be able to topple the monolith that is Pete's next year? - I don't know man. - If we invite him back on, you know?

- We gotta nerf him. - He's too good at talking. - We gotta give him a one year break. So he can give all the people next year a chance. But yeah guys, that was the fourth annual Trash Taste Awards for this year. - Hope you enjoyed it. - Hope you enjoyed it.

It's been a wild one for sure. It's kind of insane just thinking that we're over 200 fricking episodes into this. - One more year and we'll be doing this for half a decade. - Don't say that. - Half a decade nearly of Trash Taste. - That's insane, bro. But yeah, did you guys have a great year? - This was a fucking fun year, man. This was a fun year of podcasting, a fun year of just everything that we did on the podcast. I had a really fun time with.

So I hope that this continues the trend for three to next year. - Yeah, but thank you to everyone who has supported us this year and the previous years and hopefully you'll stick around for the fifth annual Trash Taste Awards if it comes out. Hopefully it will. - Not too late this time. - Not too late this time. - Well, I think now we've broken the trend of making it on a nice round number. We will...

- It'll come out when it comes out. Sometime next year this time. - 52 episodes from now. I'm probably gonna regret saying this, 52 episodes from now guys. - You're gonna regret that. - Yeah, but thank you very much guys for the support over the year. You guys have been awesome and I look forward to whatever we're cooking up for the following year. - Thank you very much for sticking with us for four years. - Yeah, no legit, it's freaking insane. But hey, look at all these patrons though.

- They have been sticking around as well. Absolute chads. You guys are the biggest chads of the year. - We couldn't have done all of the specials we released this year without you guys. So thank you very much. And over on Patreon now, we're actually having a debrief of this awards that we're gonna film right after now. So if you wanna see an extra little debrief of us going through each category and saying what our personal favorites were, go ahead and check that out. - I don't think this scored very highly on the final vote, the America special, but-

I had a fuck ton of fun filming it. I thought, especially at the shooting range, I don't know, I feel like we were all, the banter between all three of us was just like- - Top notch. - Really on point and top notch. I feel like the biggest problem with it wasn't the banter, it was the storyline of it. - There's no story to it. - Yeah, because it was meant to be finished off with the race segment part, which unfortunately,

had to get cut. So we kind of like, oh shit, we just got us hanging out at a shooting range. - And eating a burger. - Yeah, and eating a burger, which was, you know, great banter, but it was missing that cap off to the storyline. - Yeah, and of course right now as well, if you do join on the Patreon, we have a ton of other amazing videos

weekly videos that we have uploaded. You'll be able to check out all of those and a whole lot more coming out. So if you want to support the show and check all of that out, then head on over to patreon.com/trashtaste. Also follow us on Twitter, send us some memes on the subreddit. And if you hate our face, listen to us on Spotify and we'll see you guys next week into year number five. That's scary to say. - Bye.
