- What's up G Fuel enthusiasts. Welcome back to another episode of the Trash Taste Podcast. - That's what you came up with? - I don't know. - That is it? - That is it. - Okay. - I literally just looked at the nearest thing next to him. - I was like, "Uh, G Fuel." - He's just playing I Spy at this point.

- Welcome back. I'm with the boys as usual, Connor and Garnt. - I am Steve Handjobs today. - Steve Handjobs you are. - Steve Handjobs cosplay. - I'm so glad that you're making that a character. - Every time I wear like a turtleneck now. - You're Steve Handjobs. - Why do you have to show me turtlenecks Garnt? - 'Cause it's fucking cold in Japan. - I never saw you wearing turtlenecks until this year. And suddenly this man's got a fucking- - No, no, no, no, no. He's always worn turtlenecks. - No he hasn't. - Yes he has. - Fuck off.

- I had before because I lived in Thailand. So like all the only like winter clothes I had were like turtlenecks. And I would just like, every time I come to Japan in the winter. - First time I met Garnt, he was wearing like a black turtleneck. - It's like Garnt during summer, Neanderthal. Garnt during winter, big brain, five head. I'm wearing the turtleneck mother.

- Like I've never, like not gonna lie, I've never looked good in a turtleneck, so I've personally never worn it. And I think Garnt is the only person I know that actually like rocks a turtleneck. - You have to be like kind of skinny though, right? To pull off a turtleneck. - You need to be skinny and you also need to have like a neck.

- Like a long neck. - Sorry, Ed. - Big Ed's sweating right now. - I just imagine Big Ed in a turtleneck and it just covers his face. - He'll just look like Roland Dior.

- I'm sorry Ed, I'm sorry we're taking cheap shots at you man. You're questionable Ed, but. - Remember that was a thing in 2020, the big Ed thing? - Big Ed. - So many good memes. - That was good. - Can we just all agree that back in 2020, which is still when we're filming this by the way, that my little pogchamp was the worst meme of 2020? Can we just agree? I don't know what meme of the year was, but that was the worst. - But it was definitely not that. - But it was definitely not that fucking meme, let's just say that.

I don't know that meme kind of, one it came out of nowhere and two it died so fast. - Well because shit. - I know. - And I'm so glad that it was animated so that the poor person who voiced it didn't get fucking obliterated. - Destroyed it. - Could you imagine if there was like a person on TikTok, it'd be like, oh my God, it's the pogchamp girl. - I guarantee there's like a number of like girls who went onto TikTok and did like the whole voiceover. - Oh there's probably, yeah there is. - Of course there is.

- Have you had like TikToks of people voicing over your videos? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Especially when I did a lot of like anime character stuff. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - There's loads and they fully dress up in costume. - I've had people doing that of just like me talking like normally. Like they would take a segment of me from like an answer. - So you just get a fan dub? - Yeah. - That's just a fan dub with extra steps. - Like I saw a bunch where it's like someone took like really old audio of me in like an answer me sample where I'm just fucking answering a question normally. And then just like voicing over and acting over, I was like,

- Content. - There's lots of other audio clips you could have taken that's a little more interesting, right? - Do you ever get people impersonating your voice? I get that a lot. - I mean, yeah, but that's 'cause you have a distinct voice. - I guess. - I don't exactly have a distinct voice. - There's a few videos out there where people like, I think I've mentioned this before on the podcast, right? Where they go around on Discord pretending to be me and film the reaction. - I don't have crazy fans like you, so no.

- Yeah, and what? Do they just do like the most broken English accent? - "Hello, I'm Connor." - "Oh my God, it's Sea Dog VA." And I'm like, "What?" I'm like, "That is not me. That doesn't sound like me. Why are you believing this man?" - "Hello, I'm Connor." "Hello, governor." - Literally like a terrible British accent. Doesn't sound- - But with a deep voice. - Yeah, just doesn't even sound remotely like, just a British accent. - "Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, what's going on here?" - They'll be like- - "This is a Sea Dog VA video, this is?"

- Oh my God, it's the real Sea Dog VA. - Oh yeah, oh my. There's like, they'll like do, yeah, exactly. So people impersonate Sebastian, but not like the actual Sebastian, they'll impersonate like my Sebastian. - The Sea Dog VA Sebastian. - But they'll be like, in the American accent, how the fuck do I do this? 'Cause I'm so ingrained to do some British. It'd be like, 'cause you know like Sebastian's catchphrase, "I'm simply one hell of a butler," right?

I'm simply one hell of a butler. And it would be like, and it was like awful. Cause it was sounding like a half English, half American attempt. And it's like, what? - That was like layered. - Yeah. - That was hard to do. I was like, how do I break my own? - That took like 100% of your brain power to do that. - A British person impersonating an American person impersonating a British person.

- I would hear these voices they would do and I'm like, there's no way they're gonna believe that. And then the moment they do it, they're like, it's C-Dawg, oh my God. And I'm like, what? This isn't me. And then there was someone as well who went on like voice acting websites, turned to be me called It's Connor or something. - It's Connor. - And they would go around making references to my videos. Like I fucking reference myself.

Like I go around being like, oh yes, remember that time I was Sebastian, you know, good times. Like who the fuck references themselves? That's some like Tommy Wiseau shit. You know what I mean? Like who actually does that? - Like it's the only thing you have, right? - Yeah, it's like, I've made it now. I'm done making new stuff. I'm just gonna reference myself until I'm entirely, like what?

And people are like, "Shit, it's C-Dog." - He said the thing, so it must be him. - It infuriates me to death 'cause I'm like, if this is all it takes to get you to believe this is me, I hope your credit card gets stolen. You deserve it. Like you had it coming if you think that's me. - Yeah, true. No, seriously, like I haven't had people impersonating my voice, but I've had people like, you know, kind of trying to do it by just speaking in a shitty Australian accent. - Yeah.

sometimes the voice is totally not me. It's a completely different voice, but because they're speaking in like a semi like, "Oh, I'm fucking Australian, eh?" - It is pretty funny how much room people are willing to give for interpretation. - I've not seen any TikToks, but I've had exactly the same comments of some random YouTuber who is reviewing anime clips or something

slight British accent and they're like, oh my God, it's Gigguk, it's fucking Gigguk. The thing that annoys me more actually is not on YouTube or TikTok, but it's on Twitter where anyone, apparently anyone Southeast Asian who posts like a selfie now who is also into anime is just like, oh my God, you look like Gigguk, you do. - Oh my God, I have so many fucking photos of people like just like random Indian celebrities.

And people are just like, yo, I thought that was Joey. What the fuck? Like I had a guy, my sister even sent me one. It was like, she found like on TV, there was this like a Bollywood like movie or I guess like some Bollywood show that they were like promoting on an ad or something. And apparently like one of the dudes

just straight up like apparently looked like me. And I'm like, he's just the brown man with like a beard. Like that doesn't make me. Apparently every brown man with a beard is me. - Yeah, I get that with white dudes. Like every white dude with a beard on TikTok is like for some reason, everyone's like, they say I look like Cedar. I'm like, what the fuck? - Is there like any moment where that kind of like, oh, that you look like so-and-so person has been kind of flattering?

- I've only had one example of that. And that's when people said that I look like, what was it? A cracked out Jason Momoa. It's like, oh, you look like Jason Momoa if he didn't work out. And I was like, yeah, I'll take that. Jason Momoa is a fucking good looking dude. - I think I had like Benedict Cumberbatch once, but I was like- - You like Benedict Cumberbatch? - No, right, right. I used to have like really big, like curly hair that looked similar to him. So my parents used to joke that I was like him. 'Cause I was also like- - British.

- My parents are British too, Joey. - Yeah, I know. - Oh, he's British, my kid. - He's a British man, therefore he looks like Benedict Cumberbatch. - Fuck it, I was like, no, I don't. I don't look like that fucking man. He's nice, he's fun. We like him, we have fun. - Do you have one, Garnt?

- I don't know. - Garnt's too distinct. Garnt is a very distinct thing. - 'Cause like nobody really knows anything about Southeast Asia. So now it's just like, we're the new just like Japanese or Chinese people right now. 'Cause now they're like Chinese and like Japanese culture has been more like, and Koreans have been like more,

- Pushed out, right? - Globalized. Like our Southeast Asians are just sitting here in our own corner being like, "There's more than like one country here as well, guys." - It's gone from like, I can't tell the difference between Japanese, Koreans and Chinese to I can't tell the difference between Thai, Filipinos, Malaysians, Vietnamese. - Fuck, I feel called out.

- But no, it's not like half the memes on like our subreddit. It's just like a different white person with a beard and it's just like, oh my God. - It's Connor. - It's Connor. - I thought it was Connor. - It's a monkey brain. - I got no beard now actually. Well, I mean, I just shaved it like two days ago. - The amount of memes though of like you with baby face is.

- Is that? - Yeah. - I do look like a 10 year old without a beard. - Someone fucking posted on the subreddit this like old ass photo of me in a suit. Have you guys seen that one? - Yeah, I saw that. - Yeah, I was like, why? - How did they find that? Is it on Google? - It's on my Instagram, I think. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, it's like the second ever photo I put up on Instagram. I was like six years old or something. - You do look so sad as a baby. - I know, I was like, fuck, how old was I? Like 20 maybe, maybe?

- You just looked at the kind of kid who was like, get me out of here. - Yeah, I did. Yeah. I regret putting that photo on. It's not a good photo. - I mean, for me, I feel like I haven't changed much. Like my look apart from, the only thing that's changed is the spikiness of my hair over the years.

- You've calmed down. - You can tell the gig up years by the younger I am, like the more spikes in the hair. Like there are, you look at some of my first videos and I look like fucking Sasuke, man. - I'm wondering, right? Like how did you decide on that hairstyle? 'Cause that's like, that's a look. - Is that like hair you've had since you were young or? - No, I think.

I can't remember. I just remember because I have like hair that's really easy to be spiked up, right? So I think ever since I was young- - What constitutes hair that's easy to spike up? - Like light and- - Really? Oh, okay. - I mean, like could you spike up your hair? - Yeah, easily. - No, no, no, because my hair, like if I cut it short, I put a bit of water in it and it just like immediately like naturally, it's just like the fucking anime character spike- - A lot of like Asian hair has that too. 'Cause like my hair is also like quite strawy. So like if I put gel in it,

and it's just fucking up forever. - Oh, I don't know. - Like, yeah, no, I get that. But like, then again, it's like, just because your hair can do that, doesn't mean you have to like commit to it, right? - Was it inspired by anime? - No, no, it wasn't inspired by anime. - Fuck off, what was it inspired by?

- There's only so many hairstyles I could pull off and I had no idea what the fuck I was doing with my hair. Therefore, look, it was the hairstyle that took the least amount of effort to do because all I knew- - That looked like a lot of effort. - It was not, okay. Because like I said, my hairstyle is just naturally spiky. So all I would need to do, just put a bit of water, put a bit of gel and just go.

- It was done. It naturally went to that shape. - Naturally Sonic the Hedgehog. - Yeah, naturally Sonic the Hedgehog. - I just woke up and I was Sonic. What can I say? No, because I remember in some older videos, your hair is like so, it looked like a wig. That's how perfect the spike was. I was like, this man could pass off as like a side character in Yu-Gi-Oh!

- It was like you'd been watching too many like David Bowie concerts. And you're like, all right, I like that. I'm gonna mimic that basically. That's what it looked like. - Yeah, I wasn't trying to mimic anything. I just had like no idea what the fuck I was doing. - It was like some guy who was like trying to bring back like the 80s glam rock scene. - Because it's like, whenever the Mr. Anime, you talking about that video pops up. - Oh my God. - It's so funny watching that and seeing Garnt just like with like this teenage hair. - Yeah, just being really sad. - I feel bad.

but like, cause obviously you're my mate. I was like, oh, that's funny. - Like if you didn't know the context and you just saw the thumbnail, it looks like the most like angsty fucking video. - It is, it totally fucking is. - I can't focus cause your fucking hair is like Sonic the Hedgehog while you're talking about like-

- You're talking about like arguably like the most serious thing ever. And you've got like this fucking Sonic hair. I can't focus on it. - 'Cause I'm just talking about, yeah, this guy just like killed his family. But bro, that fucking hair though, that fucking Sonic hair. - Meanwhile, this man's hair has its own orbit.

- Oh my God. - Yes, welcome to Trash Taste where we are- - Trash on each other's haircuts. - Now we're trashing on each other's haircuts. - As good mates do. - That's what we do. - That's what constitutes as a mate. Can you really call your mate a mate if they don't make fun of you after a haircut? - Okay, like did you re... What age did you reach where you actually like paid attention and gave a shit about what you looked like?

'Cause I was like really fucking late. 'Cause literally the reason I looked like that was because I didn't really give a shit about what I looked like until I got to like my first, second year of uni. - Yeah, I was probably about the same. - Did you ever have any interest in dating when you were, you know, you didn't never want to like date a girl in school?

- I went to an all boys school. - I mean, of course I did. - I love my boys, but not like that. - It's like, yeah, I invite them to a kiss ex-sis. We don't kiss. - We'll have a session kiss ex-sis, but I don't care what you look like. It's all right. - Yeah. - No, like, yeah. I guess maybe it's because I went to a boys school that,

- Not to say that I didn't hang out with girls. - Man, I fucking would have loved to have gone to a boy's school. You haven't got the pressure of having to fucking try and get a girlfriend. - Impress. - Yeah, trying to get a girlfriend just 'cause everyone else is getting one. - Yeah. - I mean, you know, not to say that I didn't have any interest in dating, but it's just like, it wasn't a priority for me. - But I was speed running them in school, man. I never had one that lasted more than like two weeks.

- Oh yeah. - I mean, that was school relationships. - I had one that lasted like three months and the boys were like, "Damn, you lasted three months." - No, no, if you last more than- - Three months is a long time. - Yeah, that's high school, it's a long time. - That's a dedicated relationship. Anything beyond a month is like, okay, I am dedicated to this. They're probably getting married, you know what I mean? - Exactly, it's like one step away from marriage, right? But it's three months, like damn. My life's set already after this. - I think I must've started paying attention to like how I looked at maybe, well, okay, I say how I looked.

The hair basically, like everything else was like, what am I gonna wear? A fucking school outfit, you know? - Oh yeah. - My mom still bought all my clothes. So like- - I didn't start buying my own clothes until I moved out. - No, same here, same here. - My mom was just like, yeah, I got this nice t-shirt. It was like some shitty $5 t-shirt from Target. I was like, yeah, fuck it, I'll wear that. - My mom still buys me clothes and sends them. And it sucks that she's fucking better taste than me. - You know what's weird? Aki's mom buys me clothes.

but my own mother doesn't anymore. - I remember us, we did a shoot like a week ago. I remember Joey had to borrow one of your t-shirts. And just seeing Joey in one of your t-shirts, I'm just like, this is such a Connor shirt. 'Cause it was just like a

- It's literally that, but a different color. - It's a plain t-shirt in a drab color. And I'm just like, man, this just screams Connor right now. - It's a color that I would never buy and is a color that Connor would definitely buy. - Okay, this is gonna be one of those weird Connor things, right? Only like last year have I been open to the idea with owning shirts that have nothing but plain color.

For some reason in my head. - Is it because you don't like logos or? - I hated logos and prints. They drove me insane. - Really? - I don't know. For some reason, it just looked cheap to me. And always, and that's, I mean, it's kind of like- - I get that. - It's normally that cheaper, these kind of things. - Yeah. - No, I get that though. - It depends because some of them can look very tacky. And I feel like there's a fine line between having a cool print and having-

like a cool piece of artwork that just looks tacky on a t-shirt. - Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, it's the whole concept of like simple is best. Sometimes, you know, that's like the whole reason why like all those like high brand shirts and shit like that are so fucking simple. - I mean, I think that's what changed my opinion of like fashion in general is that I have started to be more open to spending a bit more money on clothes. 'Cause at the end of the day, it's like, all right, I'm wearing this shit.

for like how many months? And I'm gonna be on camera as well, especially. So like, I wanna wear shirts. I mean, today obviously. I've still got a little bit of the old me left. Obviously recently I've been like, okay, I'm willing to spend like,

"All right, let's put 80 bucks on a t-shirt." Which is unthinkable to me three years ago. - Oh yeah, absolutely. - Because bear in mind, in university, I used to go to Primark, which if you don't know what Primark is in the UK. - I've been to Primark. Primark's amazing by the way. If you're about to shit on Primark, I'm gonna fight you on that. - Well, I mean, I don't wanna question how they make the shirts so damn cheap. I'm sure there's some ethical questions there. I remember I specifically bought eight t-shirts for 10 pounds.

which is like $15. - It's amazing. - And I fucking love these shirts 'cause they were all plain, nothing on them. And I wore them for like two years straight, these shirts. They were fucked by the end of it. - For real though, Promark is like one of the best low budget kind of clothing brands I've ever seen globally. - Yeah, true, true. - Honestly,

- The shit you can get for the price at Primark, which I don't know where Primark's available internationally. - It's in Europe, I think. - Is it in Europe? - Yeah. - Yeah, it's like, if you want a budget place where you can just buy cheap clothes that don't look cheap, you know what I mean? - 'Cause people said Uniqlo here is cheap and we have Uniqlo in the UK. - It's not cheap. - Uniqlo compared to Primark is like,

- Yeah, Uniqlo is cheap for the quality that you get. Like you'll pay a little bit extra for like a t-shirt at Uniqlo, but that shit's gonna last you like 10 plus years. - I bought a whole suit from Primark for like $40.

- 30 pounds, the 30 pounds set, yeah. I did exactly the same for my prom and everything. - My graduation, I wore a $40 suit. And actually I hate to say it, but it's like, it doesn't look that bad. It's not bad. - It's not bad, that's the thing. I mean, Primark basically carried my university years. You know what I mean? - But there's a big but, and a lot of people in the UK tend to also have the same mindset, I think, where a t-shirt should never cost more than 20, 30 pounds. Which I can understand because if you haven't got a lot of money, spending that much on one t-shirt

It's quite a lot. But as I started to, I think that's where my hatred of print started is that I thought a lot of these Primark ones are pretty fucking shit. And they often do look super tacky. And I don't really like the collaborations. They have like SpongeBob and shit and then all that. They're like, oh, we suck a PlayStation logo on. - I think they're just starting to do anime as well.

- Yeah, they are. - Which is weird, I feel like, was it last year where they did like a DBZ or One Piece collaboration as well? - Yeah, there's been a lot of stores like that, like Forever 21 as well before they went under, like they did this like huge fucking thing with anime. So like every time I went to Forever 21, there was always like this,

entire section of anime. But when you look at it, when you actually go over to it, it's just like, all right, let's see what they have. It's all like Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto. - It's always the fucking basics. - It's all the basic shit. - Don't give me that shit. - And it's not even done in like a creative way either. It's just like, let's just slap the logo and the main character. - Yeah, like doing anime clothes is really hard.

I'm probably gonna about to like call out like a bunch of our viewers by saying this, but like the ones I hate the most are the ones where it's just like, it's just a t-shirt with a wifey on it. - Or a logo or the anime logo. - Or like an anime logo. Like those kinds of clothes I call like anime convention clothes.

- 'Cause it's a T-shirt or clothes that I would only wear at an anime convention, but there's no way I would wear it. - You know what I call clothes like that? - What? - Pajamas. This is the only time I'm fucking wearing it, is when I need to wear something in bed. - Bro, there's probably someone watching this right now in like a fucking Arsenal T-shirt to be like, aw.

- But I like this. - Yeah, I mean, and then like, I think as well, going back to the whole cheap versus expensive stuff for clothes, like it's only 'cause I think 'cause I moved to Japan, I actually started seeing like some of the clothes that I like really like, and it's like kind of expensive, but you're like, okay, I am gonna wear this a lot.

Like when I paid like 350 bucks fuck for that Diavolo, sorry, King Crimson jacket. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like when I bought that, that was the most expensive thing I'd ever bought like clothes wise. And I thought, oh my God, this is insane. - This is peak. - This is insane, $350 on a fucking jacket. Okay, it's sexy, look on screen, it's sexy. But now that I've been wearing it, I wear it like pretty much every day. Like I'm like, okay,

if I'm wearing it every day, you know, and I get like maybe four or five years out of that, that's like 20, 27. - Yeah, you're getting it back for a year, right? - Yeah, exactly. - And like, I understand that because I always thought that way with tech, right? Like to me, it's like, don't buy a $20 headset, buy a hundred dollar at least. 'Cause you're gonna get your money's worth. And I don't know why for some reason it took me so long to have that with fashion. And I think going back to the whole topic, which is school and why I didn't give a fuck is 'cause I just didn't care for clothes. I didn't really,

I just looked like- - I mean, who does? - There was always that one kid in your school who somehow always fucking dressed amazing to shit. Do you not have that kid? - I didn't have that kid. - I did not have that kid. I always, I don't know. I had kind of like a similar view of fashion, which is just, I didn't get it.

- I didn't understand anyone who would spend above like $20 or like $30 on a t-shirt. - I think my mom would like scoff if an outfit was over a total $50. She'd be like, "Look at, get a load of this guy." - I think that's the thing though. It was that at least with me, there was this like, because it was a boys' school, but there was this whole, I guess like stigma of,

- People who dress well. - If you dress well, then you're gay. Like that whole shit. So I think people just, I'm sure there were boys who actually did give a shit about fashion and did it, but they didn't want to with the, because they were probably worried about getting beaten up. And like, I get that, you know? Like it's like, yes, a fedora might seem quite fashionable, you know, in the common eye, but why would you wear that if you don't wanna get bullied, you know? - Yeah, true. - Like I like wearing fedoras. I think they look fucking cool with the right outfit, but.

- But the problem is I'm gonna agree with Joey. - Really? - Yeah. I feel like the big problem with fedoras is that the fucking neck beard community just ruined, completely ruined that image. - This is like the Hitler mustache. You can't wear it because Hitler's ruined.

- Well, exactly. - It's the same thing with the fedora. You can't do it 'cause you're gonna, everyone's like in the cell. - That's the thing. That's the thing. But it's like, but that's the problem. I feel is that a lot of the reasons why fedora is just commonly seen as that type of, you know, negative thing is because the hat itself is fine. It's what you pair it with that just makes it look like absolute dog shit. - Well, you thought you're either gonna look like a neck beard or you're gonna look like a rip off Michael Jackson. There's no in between. - I mean, I'd rather look like a rip off Michael Jackson than a fucking neck beard, right? But like, but like,

- Then you can truly enjoy your lolly white boots. - I'm out, I'm out. - I've seen fashion magazines of dudes who wear a fedora or a hat of some kind that's similar to a fedora in a really nice suit and they can match that shit really well. - Yeah, but those are the most fucking attractive men on the planet.

- But that's what I'm saying. And that's the other problem is that there are no attractive men who wear fedoras. I'm just saying, I'm just preaching to the choir right now. - I mean, I'm not gonna lie and pretend I know how fashion works. - I'm no fucking fashionista. - We're not fashion experts. - Thailand's next top model. - Fucking Steve Hanjobs, like, "Let me teach you about fashion."

- I mean, I feel like having that one kid in school who elevated the game really fucking- - Elevated the game. - He elevated the game in school. - He was the benchmark. He was the trendsetter bro. - He's really making me look fucking bad, you know? When he turns up with his jeans with holes in them, I'm like, how can we compete? I don't have holes in my jeans. What am I supposed to do? - Wait, because you guys didn't wear like school uniforms.

- No, we did. - We wore something uniform too. - Oh, okay, yeah. - And we had some days where you would pay for like charity. You would pay like a pound to dress in normal clothes. Why did we do that?

- I don't know. So we have this thing in UK school called own clothes day. - Yeah, that's right. - Own clothes day. - What? - Where we have like one day in like the term or something where we could just come in in our own clothes. - I hated that. - Oh yeah, we had that. - Yeah, I was speaking to Sydney and apparently like in her high school, they didn't have school uniforms. - No. - Yeah, they just- - 'Cause American high schools don't wear uniforms. - School uniforms are big brain.

because you always wear the same shit every day. - Yeah. - Right? It's great. - You don't have to worry about like, oh, I wore the same t-shirt for three days in a row because yeah. - Yeah, that's a big reason why I didn't give a shit about fashion until like later in life, was just because most days of the year, I was wearing a fucking school uniform. - Yeah, yeah. - You know what I mean? - Although I say that, the fashion, like whoever designed my school uniform, like,

deserves a slap because like, okay. So in our high school, like you have to wear, there's a set piece that you have to wear from when you're a seventh grade to 10th grade. And then when you enter 11th and 12th grade, you're like senior. So you get to wear like a senior blazer and like long pants and shit like that. The senior uniform is fine. It looks dope as fuck. It's basically just a suit essentially. But the junior uniform is,

is a little, because for one, everyone has to wear shorts. - Okay. - Because you know, it's hot most of the year in Australia. So you wear shorts, but then on top of that, you have to wear long socks.

- Okay. - Yeah, I'm talking like up to like the fucking like knee, long socks. - Like anime girl long socks. - Like anime girl long, like these like gray, like knitted, like long socks. - Someone had a fetish. - Yeah, someone had a fetish. So like basically there's just these like seventh to 10th grade kids running around, basically just only showing their fucking knee. - Was your school run by like Herbert the pervert or something? - I don't know. I mean. - Okay. - I'm not gonna get into that, but.

But yeah, so I fucking hated that. But, and of course, because you know, I went to a private school. If you didn't wear your thing properly, you'd get fucking punished for it. - Look at this private school. - It's like, oh, I can see your shins. You're gonna get a fucking slap for that. You pull your socks up.

secondary school, no primary school, then secondary school, then sixth form. - Which is part of secondary school normally. - Kind of, kind of. So like our high school is secondary school and sixth form like put together. That's like the same. - Why does it skip from two to six?

- No, no, okay, so it's called secondary school 'cause it's the second school that you go to. - Right. - So, and then you start at age 12 and then you can, oh, it's mandatory now, right? You have to do sixth form now, right? - Yeah, yeah. - So it used to be that you could leave at 16 and you could go and work or you could get an apprenticeship. And then there was always an optional if you want to go to university,

you have to stay an extra two years, which normally has about, at least in my school, like half the kids left at 16. - Yeah, so in Australia that would be junior high and senior high for us. So it's like we have high school. So we have primary school and high school as well. And high school is from seventh grade to 12th grade. - Is seventh grade when you're like age 12, 13? - 13. - 13, okay, okay. - And then you can leave at year 10.

which is like, I guess the end of secondary for you guys. And then the last two years is senior high school. - And that's like 16 to 18. - And that's 16 to 18, then you go to uni. - Yeah, so that's what it was like in the UK. - Okay, okay, okay, okay. - And like when I was in sixth form, so I was in my last two years,

they try to introduce the school like blazers. Cause we didn't wear blazers. - Yeah, we had blazers. - Well, we were a public school. So blazers were like, oh, get a load of these people. So, and there was like outrage because they were like, because right, here's the thing, the school uniform, you can only buy from like a special place, right? You can't just get on Amazon. And they were charging like 70 pounds for the blazer. And obviously this is a public school and 70 pounds, like a hundred bucks. And for some parents it's like way too much. So they were like,

"What the fuck? No, we don't want a fucking blazer." And there's a whole like outrage about it. And then eventually they were like, "Fine, fine. Okay." Because the older kids are leaving, they don't need to wear blazers. So I didn't have to wear one. So it was very fun watching. - So wait, it wasn't mandatory for you guys? - It was mandatory. - So what was your school uniform in a- - I was just a tie. - So in England, we call sixth form college as well, which gets a bit confusing. - Oh really? - When we say college, we mean sixth form. - But you can go to college.

- You can go to actual college. - No, where college isn't college. College in the UK is one or two years, right? Of like a specialized thing that you can then use to then go into university. - We call that something different. - No, we have that college. That's college. - Yeah, but we have sixth form college and then we have-

whatever preschool university. Is that called college as well? - I believe those two are the same institutions, if I'm correct. - Because in Australia, we don't even call it college. We don't use that word. - Well, colleges, that's why when Americans say, "Are you going to college?" We're like, "No, no, no, no." - We're going to university. - Yeah, we're going to uni. It's like the Winnie Pooh meme where it's like, "College?

- University. - Because college is something entirely different to British people. - Yeah, yeah, it is. - Yeah, I mean, anyway, yeah, they were outraged. So half the school didn't have to fucking wear blazers and half the young kids did. So that was fine. You could just be like, "Fucking, you know, "hey, look at this fucking little 10 year old wearing his little blazer." - No, we fucking loved the blazer. Like the blazer was the best bit. - I don't wanna wear a blazer. 'Cause you weren't supposed to.

but the teachers got so fucking done with it that you could just wear hoodies over your school uniform. - Oh really? - Yeah, yeah. - Man, they must've like, where are the rules in this school, man? - No, because for us in the winter, right? Like if it was just a regular, just white t-shirt underneath, it'd be way too fucking cold. - Yeah. - So sometimes you'd have,

like you'd have to wear the blazer just to stay warm. Because the other option we had was this like, our school colors were black and red. So we had this- - What are you fucking like the evil school in Hogwarts? - Yeah, right? Like, so it was black and red. So like we had this like, if you didn't want to wear a blazer, you had to wear this fucking bright red

white like woolen fucking like sweater. - Yeah, we have something like that but it's green, like moss green. - Yeah, I know the exact color. - But ours is like bright red, like the reddest red you can think of. So you just fucking stick out in a crowd, right? - I mean, at least you had like pretty colors. Ours was like drab purple. - Yeah, but the problem was is that because it was like a wool thing, it was so fucking itchy. Like it doesn't matter how many times you wash that shit, you're just like, I'm warm but-

- Ow, fuck this. So people were just like, fuck it. I'm just gonna like spend the hundred bucks on the blazer 'cause I don't wanna wear this itchy ass fucking like grandma sweater shit. - No, 'cause I remember in my sixth form, I knew I was a fucking grown up in my sixth form.

We went to like the cool sixth form because they let us wear our own clothes. And this was the big thing. We were allowed to call our teachers by their first name. That was like bringing you up to the next level, man. - Dude, like we could only do that, but like it was a fucking Kaiji gamble every time.

It was like, fuck, do I call you Mr. Smith or do I just call you James? - Yes, I remember one student did that in my class and he immediately like, "What the fuck did you call me?" He basically said that. - I've heard that so many times. - Especially towards the female teachers. It's like, "Excuse me, Margaret?" And she's just like, "What the fuck, did you just call me?"

- Holy shit. Bro, I remember, sorry, I said this like flashback to something. I remember I did like, so we had to do a presentation during, do you have registration in Australia? - For what? - Where you basically, when you get to school, you had a separate class of registration to say that you're here and you've arrived. - Oh, like orientation stuff like that? - I guess, yeah, orientation for maybe Americans. It's like a quick 15 minute thing where everyone just goes and says, "I'm here." - Oh yeah, fuck, I forgot what that was called. It was called like,

- Is that registration? - Home class? - We had a Welsh word for it. - Home room. - Home room, that's what we called it. - That's American, fuck, Joe. - No, we called it home room, yeah. - In my school, we just called it registration English, but I forget a Welsh word for it that I forgot, so I don't fucking know. But we'd just do like a short presentation.

between like, it would always be one of the students presentation each day. - Why would you have to do a presentation? - Just about something you fucking learned. It's some fucking pretentious bullshit. - At the start of the day? - Yeah, you have to do a quick presentation about something you've learned that day. - Oh my God, that sounds awful. - So I was like,

I was like 14, right? And we all fucking hated it. And this teacher was horrible. So my best mate in school had a really bad stuttering problem. He got a lot better now, but everyone loved this guy. Everyone just wanted to see him do well. And this one teacher was so fucking rude to him about his stutter. And everyone was like, "Yo, all my homies hate that teacher." So we were all just like, we all took it in turns, trying to see how much we could troll in these presentations. I did a pro gamer move.

I was like, you know what I'm going to present? 9-11 conspiracy theories.

I shit you not, I shit you not. And I dead ass think I got the teacher to believe me. So I came in, I was like, moon landing, fake. But what is the biggest conspiracy theory? Like this, like Steve Jobs in a TED talk, right? I was like, listen, look at this. I did the Wingdings thing with the flight number. And I was like, look, it's two towers and the star of Israel. I rest my case.

And everyone was like, "No way, is that?" 'Cause everyone's like 14. The teacher wasn't that, he wasn't that, they were like, "What the fuck, this is insane, whoa!" And it was just so fucking funny. 'Cause I never got told off for that. - Really? - No.

- I think for some reason, I think they thought I was super genuine about my belief of this. - So they didn't wanna like press on your beliefs. - You just said it with enough conviction that they were still like, he must be right. - It wasn't just like the Windings. I think it said a bunch of other stuff, but that was like the big piece of evidence where I was like, look, Microsoft planned 9/11.

- I do not know how I got away with doing that. 'Cause that is bad. - Yeah. - Fucking hell. - I don't know how- - We didn't do anything during like homeroom. I feel like the school just implemented that to give the teachers their 15 minute smoke break before the beginning, right? - Well, it's 'cause our teacher was one of those teachers, the one who did it, 'cause we didn't have any lessons with her, but she was always that one who was like, "You should be constantly learning and advancing yourself."

- Hell no, I wanna play Modern Warfare 2 at home. What are you gonna fucking prepare? - Dude, like for us, like Homeroom was just coming together and just fucking getting on our shitty iPhone 3s and playing Doodle Jump together. Like that was the only thing we did. I'm wondering if we, I don't even think I even had like a Homeroom segment or session. - Segment of the session. - Segment of the fucking school day or whatever you want. - Garnt thinks it was life and episodes. - The Homeroom arc, season one, season two.

- Oh my God. - I didn't have anything like that. But yeah, let's talk about some current topics that aren't just nostalgic trips back to high school. - We talk about high school and shit so much, but it was some fucking funny stories. - Yeah, yeah. - It's the prologue to our life. - It's great memories. People listening to this who are still in high school won't understand, but once you're out of high school, you'll understand. You'll look back on them. - God, I was such a little shit. - You sound like such a grandpa saying that.

- You'll look back to your high school one day. - I remember back in the day when we only had three iPhones. No, but what's the, I guess the big news, quote unquote. - Other than Attack on Titan. - Yeah, other than Attack on Titan, of course, everyone's fucking loving it. - Probably gonna be all news by the time this episode airs. - Yeah, everyone's fucking loving that. But I guess like some news that is more industry driven is the whole,

Funimation and Crunchyroll thing, right? - Yeah, so Sony buying out Crunchyroll. And it's basically having control of like most of the big anime companies. - Basically just monopolize the Western market. - I mean, it is.

- It is slightly worrying when you hear that initially. That's a lot of market share that Sony has. Like how would, at what point would it be considered a Sony, like I guess a monopoly if they had like Netflix. - I feel like if they had,

Crunchyroll, Funimation and Netflix, then it would be like 99% basically. 'Cause basically I think the only other company is probably Sentai Filmworks who do Hi-Dive. - Is Hi-Dive still going? - Hi-Dive's still going. - Fuck Hi-Dive, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I guess it's not available outside the US, right? - No, it's available in the UK as well. - Is it? - Yeah. - Fuck, I didn't know that. - But the problem with Hi-Dive is that I don't know how many

big like exclusive titles that they have. - I mean, how can you compete? - Yeah, 'cause the only thing that I've watched, like the only big exclusive I've watched out of High Dive is probably Legend of the Galactic Heroes. And that's like a fucking old, old, no, like the old one. - Oh, the OG one. - They're the only service that have licensed the OG Legend of the Galactic Heroes. And I feel like, I don't know other, how many other exclusives they have,

- I've never used high dive. - Yeah, 'cause I know "Made in Abyss", I watched that on Amazon Strike. Back when that was a thing. - Amazon Strike? - Remember Amazon Strike? - Have Amazon stopped buying anime now? 'Cause like, I don't know what anime they're getting anymore. - No, they're still getting- - The problem with Amazon is that they can- - They buy one big show. - Like last year they had "Villain Saga". But the big problem with Amazon is that they sometimes get big shows, but-

- They don't know how to market it. - I fucking hate like watching anime on Amazon because they, I don't know what shows they have half the time. Like they actually have quite a lot of anime, but nobody knows about this 'cause nobody fucking watches anime on Amazon. - Yeah, not to mention that I think just the general problem with Amazon is that they don't know how to market it. Like you find out usually,

secondhand from someone who's like, "Oh, I watched Vinland Saga on Amazon." And you're just like, "Vinland Saga is Amazon? "What the fuck?" I mean, Amazon is Vinland Saga, what the fuck? - Yeah.

like actually watching it isn't bad. Like the play is really good. And I don't know like what fucking conversion they're using, but like, man, it looks crisp as fuck. But God damn, is it horrible to use their fucking platform? Holy shit, dude. I'm like, am I renting this shit or am I like streaming it? It's not clear half the fucking time. I didn't mean to rent Borat. Why am I watching Borat? I try to watch fucking anime. What the fuck, Amazon? And then also because now obviously we're using, I'm using Amazon prime in Japan.

- Amazon did that fucking pro gamer move of being like, yeah, no subtitles for other languages outside of this country. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So if I wanna watch it, I have to buy Prime, which I have in Japan and Prime in the UK or the US, which is just fucking stupid. - Does Prime even work for you here? Like UK Prime work for you here? - No, you can't do that. - 'Cause it doesn't work for me. - No, no, you need to use,

you have Prime, but it's probably Japanese Prime, which doesn't offer any English subtitles. And obviously because they're like, we don't want people going on to other countries and buying stuff, which kind of makes sense, but also why? Like who cares?

- Like it's 2020, I don't know why licensing laws haven't caught up to the fact that it's a global fucking media now. If you're gonna limit it to one country, people are gonna find a way to, you know, find other ways to watch it because people are gonna watch it whatever happens. - Like most people, like, 'cause I see these threads on Reddit where they're like, "Bro, if you buy Netflix now in Turkey, "you can get it for like $2."

but that seems like a lot of fucking effort. Like do I really care that much? - I'm glad that if I put all that effort in, I can save a whole $4. - Yeah, and then you gotta keep using a VPN when you log in to do that shit anyway. - So you're already paying for the VPN anyway. - Yeah, and it's like, it's not worth the fucking effort, man. Like, do I really need this? No, I don't. Who cares? Like, I just want it in the country that I'm in. I don't have to fuck around with VPNs. Don't make this hard for me.

And Amazon obviously made it. They're like, how do we make it as hard as possible? Every single time. - So that no one uses it. - How do we make it so that you accidentally buy a dildo instead of watching Vinland Sond? That's basically like the Amazon Prime experience. - Do we have any like, I guess, 'cause there is very little information about the whole like Sony acquisition, right? - Yeah, I mean, it's still very early days now. - Wait, Maylene, how much was it for? How much was, 'cause we don't know.

- Sony buying Funimation or Sony buying Crunchy? - Both. - So Sony 95% of Funimation in 2017, it was around 143 million. - That's right, they did do that, didn't they? - 143? - For Funimation. - For Funimation. - Around 1.2 billion. - Fuck. Wasn't Amazon only like 900 million? - Can you say that number again? - 1.2 billion dollars?

- That's more than Amazon bought Twitch for. - Jesus Christ. Oh my God. - The question that I want to know. - 140 theme for Funimation. - Yeah, yeah. That's already surprising. But like the biggest question I have is like, all right, cool, Sony, you have all this fucking money, right? To spend on Crunchyroll and Funimation. That's fine. But in my opinion, it's just like, what are you going to do with it?

- Is the question. - I mean, I guess- - Because when Sony back in the day bought the 95% of Funimation or whatever it was like,

I'm not gonna lie, they didn't really do much with it. - Yeah, I haven't seen much of a change from Funimation. I don't know how well Funimation was doing back then, but it seems like they've just gone on business as usual now. 1.2 billion for Crunchyroll just kind of sees how much they're investing in anime, I guess. Because they must see the potential in the anime industry to get to shell out this big of a market share. - I guess maybe they're willing to throw that much money because they realize that there is

a massive competitor now and that is Netflix. - Yeah, yeah. - I mean, I guess when you put it into perspective of like Twitch was bought out, but that was like how many years ago was Twitch bought out by Amazon? - Like 20, probably around the same time that Sony first bought Funimation. - No, it was earlier than that. - Was it? - I think it was like 2016, right? It must've happened, 2015. - Really? - Yeah, but still. - When did it happen, Maylene? Can you Google it? - Yeah. - 2014. - Okay, too fast. - But still, Twitch was like the fucking big shit back then.

- Yeah, so Twitch was 970 million. - But I guess Twitch in 2014, 970 million makes sense. Twitch nowadays is probably worth like five, six times that. - Oh, easily, yeah. - Yeah, but that was, I would say that, you know. - Twitch at that point. - Comparing Crunchyroll now to Twitch back then. - Twitch is still bigger. - I would say like Twitch was like a hot property 'cause everyone was expecting YouTube to buy Twitch.

I remember back in the day where it was just like, yeah, everyone was like, well, Google is gonna buy Twitch. That's just a natural move, right? And it was a big surprise when Amazon kind of stepped in. - And then Jeff Bezos was like, "JK, I'm gonna step in." - I mean, that's been great for creators though, that that happened.

but I'm curious as to why, do you have any thoughts on why this might be good or bad for anime fans in general? - I mean, I'd say as a consumer, it would probably be better because, okay. - Well, more money in the industry is always better. - Well, it's not only that, but I remember I would say like the golden age of like anime streaming was, remember when you could get

every anime you could conceivably want to watch on one platform, which was Crunchyroll back in the day. And then it kind of just like got spread out to different streaming companies. - I mean, that was inevitable, but it was gonna happen. - It was inevitable. But the biggest thing I find annoying isn't just the fact that I have to pay for like different streaming companies. It's just the fact that nowadays when I go through an anime chart, I literally have no idea which anime is gonna be on which platform. - That's true. - Unless it specifically says like,

- Prime, for example. - Yeah, like I just want to like log onto one service and be like, okay, I just wanna, don't care how much I'm paid for this service, I just wanna watch all the anime I want to watch in that one service. - Well, it's like confusing 'cause I thought "Jujutsu Kaisen," is that correct? - Yeah. - Was on Netflix. - No, that was on Crunchyroll. - It's on Crunchyroll. - But it is on Netflix. - Is it?

- In Japan? - No, in Japan. - Oh, in Japan. - So it's really confusing living in Japan 'cause I'm like, wait, who owns what? Because Japan and like, because obviously it's pretty much Japan, rest of the world. That's how like the market works, right, obviously. And it was really confusing 'cause I'm like, wait, wait, where do I watch it though? I realized Netflix doesn't offer English subtitles probably for that reason, to the licensing, right?

Fuck, it's a mess. It is a mess. It's like, how do I know where the fuck I'm watching what? And then everyone's just laughing being like, "Ha ha piracy." You know, like TVXD. - Of course, yeah. - I mean, I wanna pay. I want an easy service. - I mean, I want a convenient service. I'm willing to pay for a convenient service, which for the longest time it was until it wasn't.

And now it's like, I wanna support the industry, but at the same time, it's just like, if I'm having trouble finding which service has got which anime, like I literally have to, there is a dedicated search engine for this, which is like, I think the name is like, because Moe or something, that's the name of the website. But that's literally a dedicated search engine to search which anime is on which streaming service. - I love that someone had to make that. - Yeah, I know, right? - It really is telling. - It's like this fucking pre-order, like,

- Spreadsheets, like what you get and what pre-order. It's like, I don't fucking know what's on what. Fuck me. - Well then would you say then in that instance that I guess like a full monopoly of the Western market onto one service is a benefit?

- I mean, it's not the monopoly though, is it really? Because Netflix is. - Right, but that's what I'm saying though. Like if, for example- - Monopolies are always bad. - Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. But for example, if Sony hypothetically is like, "Hey, we wanna like buy the anime side of things from the Netflix's thing." That would truly, I would say, turn it into a monopoly. At least in terms of the Western market. - That would basically be a monopoly.

- That'd be awful for anime fans. - Yeah, it would be awful for anime fans, but at the same logic that Garnt was saying, it would all be on one platform too. - I mean, that's kind of like the fucking Disney argument now, isn't it? Like, yes, all my characters now are gonna be in the MCU.

- Yay for Monopoly, right? - It's like with the whole Disney shit, it's worrying because if everything's on fucking Disney, we only get Disney-esque products. I don't want fucking Disney shit. I fucking hate Disney movies. - That reminded me of the other day when I was streaming. I don't know how true this is. So take this with a grain of salt, but somebody was saying that there's a rumor that Disney might be acquiring "Shonen Jump."

- Oh my God, no. - Please no. - I don't know how true that is. - Fact check this, Mayling. - Can you fact check this? - Fact check. - Because he sounded pretty fucking convincing when someone like people in the chat were talking about it, but apparently Disney is thinking to acquire it because they want to do a collaborative thing between My Hero Academia and the MCU.

- No. - And in my head- - That's gotta be a fucking troll post. - Yeah, if it is a troll, then- - That's gotta be a troll. - That sounds like a meme. - Yeah, if it is a troll, then I've fallen for the bait.

- At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney actually wanted to do that. - Oh, dude, I can't stand Disney. - Well, because like, think about it. It's like MCU superheroes, My Hero Academia superheroes. It's a match made in heaven according to Disney, right? - Bro, I can't wait for when like fucking All Might shows up in Avengers 5 or something like that. - Yeah. - Oh my God. - You don't see it? - All right, Joey's bullshitting. Joey's bullshitting.

- Oh my God, you know what that would mean though? The fucking like Thanos versus Goku memes would like become real. And become like a legitimate talking point. - It would be horrible for like a realistic standpoint, but my God, the amount of shitposts and memes that would come out of this, would be fucking epic. Again, like take it with a grain of salt, it might be a troll,

It might just be a rumor. - Joey's talking out of his ass. - I might be talking out of my ass, I don't know. - That just means like every MCU conversation would end with, "But Goku could be Captain America." - "But could Goku beat HIV?"

I mean, I don't really like the way Disney does things with properties and it's worrying that they're acquiring so much that they have so much control over things because yeah, a Disney movie is streamlined and it's nice, but you don't get the weird shit from Disney. - Right, but that's what I'm saying. Like when I heard about that supposed rumor or bullshit, whatever it was, like I wasn't like immediately, oh, that's bullshit. That's never gonna happen because there is a very likely chance it very likely-

very much might happen. And if it does happen, then it's gonna be really bad for anime. Like anime is gonna get fucking boring when that happens. - I mean, what I will say now is that, so like we can basically break down like the main players to be Crunchyroll Funimation, Netflix, like Crunchyroll Funimation and Netflix. And you know, there's, you know, Sentai Filmworks doing their own thing. But I will say that,

putting those two together, they do have very different brands. Sometimes you watch an anime and you're like, yeah, this feels like a Netflix show. Beastars felt like it belonged on Netflix. Devilman Crybaby felt like it belonged on Netflix. What I would say when it was Crunchyroll versus Funimation is that they have exact same branding. So I'm just like, oh, Kaguya-sama's on Crunchyroll, then on Funimation, like season two's on Funimation.

'Cause like they were both trying to acquire the same shows. - It's the same type of consumers I feel that use both Funimation and Crunchyroll. And not to say that Crunchyroll users don't use Netflix and vice versa, but I feel that like, yeah, as you said, there's like a certain,

I don't know what the right word for it is. Edginess? When it comes to shows on Netflix? - I don't know what the right word for it is. - Netflix is that cooler older brother who comes in and is like, "Hey, you ever played a Game Boy?" You know what I mean? Like that vibe. I mean, we've obviously done work with Netflix. But this is totally like separated from that.

But I mean, their service is the best, man. I mean, obviously the Netflix jail stuff fucking sucks. And sometimes at least in Japan, the subtitle differences again, as we obviously know, that sucks. But I mean, you use that player and it's like, you can't beat that shit. You can download it. And now you can do audio only on the mobile, which I love. 'Cause you used to have to keep, when I used to listen to stuff on Netflix, I used to have to keep my phone open in my pocket, like screen going. But now you can just do

audio only and it's like, oh my God, it's like they know what I fucking want before I do it. - Okay, but the question is then what would you watch? What kind of content would work for audio only stuff like documentaries? - It's not about that. It's just like sometimes I'm in a situation where- - I couldn't do that for anime, honestly. - No, I'm in a situation where I can't look at my screen for like just two minutes. - Yeah. - 'Cause I'm like, maybe I'm getting off the train, maybe I'm walking around real quick. I just wanna lock my phone, but I wanna keep listening, just got my headphones on. - I get you.

- So just quick little moments where you just wanna turn it off, but you don't want like content to just stop. - Right. - Honestly, the big thing for me for Netflix,

is the skip opening button. - Skip opening? They've also just added the two times speed, 1.5. So now you can, if you wanna be a bastard and watch anime, two times speed. - I know it's a fucking cardinal sin to say you can skip anime openings, but that's made it so much more easier to watch some of the anime. 'Cause let's be honest, let's be honest. - But they do it automatically for endings.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You can physically tell them, "No, no, don't." 'Cause every time the Great Pretender ended, I'm like, "No, let me listen." - I love this song. - I fucking love this. - No, no, no. Sometimes you do watch the ending and sometimes you do listen to the opening. But let's be honest, most of the time you wanna skip the opening. You watch the opening once and it's another generic J-Spot opening. - Especially if you're like binging. - It's the binge. - And I love binging anime. I don't watch anime weekly. So for me, unless it's a fucking banger of an opening, which is,

There's always one or two shows every season, but it's not every fucking show. - For me, like Beastars was one. Like I always fucking listen to the Beastars opening. - Beastars fucking amazing opening, Mob Psycho as well. - I was like, no, no, no, don't skip it. Just leave it. Just leave it, Netflix, come on. - Just let it play. - Yeah, come on. - I wanna watch this. - Yeah, it's great. - Yeah, like you said, like the "Great Pretender" ending, which is like,

- You've always got time for Freddie Mercury. - Yes, come on. - Come on, you've always got time. - Never skip Freddie Mercury. - What time is it? I've got time regardless, you know what I mean? And you can download episodes. I know you could do that on Crunchyroll.

- You can pay extra to download and crunch roll. I have never tried it, so I don't know how good the service is. 'Cause I know you could do it on Funimation, but it didn't work that good. - I mean, that was always the biggest complaint with Funimation, right? Is that the website was garbage. As far as I know, I mean, I already know I can't use it, don't live in the US. - What do you think the plan is with Sony? Like, why do you think they decided?

- That's a good question. I have no fucking idea. - That's what I've always wanted to know again, right? It's like, what is it about Crunchyroll and Funimation that Sony was like, we'll drop a billion bucks on this. - Sony has a movie division. It's pretty, I think a big branch, a big part of that business. - So do you think we'll start to see like maybe like funding

Sony original anime on Crunchyroll and Funimation maybe? - Maybe, I don't know. - 'Cause they have to compete with Netflix originals, right? - Yeah, I mean, right now, I mean, Sony kind of, Sony are already on like the production committee to a lot of anime, including like big animes, like I think, isn't it like the Demon Slayer?

- Yeah, they could be. - I think they find a demon slayer because that's Aniplex, right? - Yeah. - Actually, I might be talking on my ass here. - Which company does Sony own? Is it Aniplex? - Aniplex, yeah. - Yeah, Sony owns Aniplex. - Aniplex is a lot of hands. - I'm pretty sure Aniplex was with demon slayer. They're usually with like the majority of the big shonen. - I mean, then it only makes sense that they'd wanna

get a big grip on the Western market. I mean, if you're funding this shit, you already have a lot of sales. - I mean, I think right now, I don't know what the plans are, but I think the amount of money they threw at it just shows how much potential they see for the anime market, right? - Yeah, for real. - I mean, it's a gold rush right now, I think really. Like I think all the companies are fighting to get control over the Western market 'cause they realize like this shit's big. - It's like an IP race, right? Just to see how many IPs they can get.

- While it's still young and it still hasn't fully settled, which is now, why wouldn't you just fucking throw money at the shit and try and get all the IPs, get all the foundations set up? - Do you see anime becoming as big as say gaming or other things in a few years? - Yeah, I do. - Maybe not like hentai, but- - Yeah, maybe not- - Hey man, hey man.

- You just wait, you just wait boy. - You just wait. You just wait till I drop my original hentai and then we'll see how big it gets. - Listen, right? Everyone watches porn, right? But there isn't no like Avengers of porn. No one's discussing like, there's no podcasts about porn. I don't think actually maybe there is. There's no big discussions about porn and like, oh my God, what's,

What's who, you know, who's ex who's Johnny Sins gonna fuck next. - Johnny Sins is the Captain America of porn. - It's not gonna be that God. Get your hopes down now, right? - I mean, I don't know man. Isn't like Pornhub one of like in like the top 20 most viewed sites. - Well they just gutted their library. - Yeah, they just destroyed like 60% of their library.

- This episode is sponsored by EJ Anime Store. Do you know what EJ stands for? - And same in Japan. Katakawa's official online anime merch store that delivers exclusive merch to overseas anime fans directly from Japan. - Some of their products are only available for a limited time period, so be sure to check the pre-order deadline shown on screen for each item.

This thing's actually really fucking cute.

- Additionally today, we have a bit of a special introduction. As some of you may know, over the span of three days at the end of November, we released a series of streams on each of our Twitch channels as a part of a speed run competition in which we had to put together one of the EJ Anime Store plastic model kits, which is this box here, and we had to see who could do it the fastest. - Also known as the Sword Art Online Figure Rise Standard Asuna Dengeki Pole Color Limited Version. I said that in one take. Let's go. - Oh my God.

- If you've already watched the streams, you already know who won and lost. - Absolutely getting destroyed. I thought I was fast and then Connor was like, no, no, no, no, no. - Hold up. - Hold it. - Okay, so I didn't know this before, but we have a forfeit that the loser had to do. And Meilyne is about to present to me my forfeit. - I've seen it and it's gross.

- So that's a black- - Oh, that stinks. - It's a black cobra chili. - Maylene, what the fuck did you buy for me? - What is this, Maylene? - Yeah, that is a black cobra chili right there. - This is not what we agreed to. - What is this thing? - You should have gotten good. - I'm not gonna fucking forget this. This is Maylene's idea, by the way. Wasn't our idea. Look at this shit. Look, oh fuck, it's fucking hot.

- Oh, it just flipped over. - Can you hold on up to the camera, Joey? - Yeah. - That's disgusting. I would not want to eat that. Good luck, Garnt. So while Garnt enjoys on his fantastic meal for the evening, EJ Anime Store will be giving away one lucky winner, an Asuna figure set with a wall scroll signed by the three of us for free. - Oh shit, look at that.

- That's Pog. - It's got our signatures on it. - I have to act excited now. - Look, it's the loser's signature. - Oh yeah, right in the corner. - All you simply have to do guys is follow their Twitter at EJAnimeStore, like and retweet their tweet that contains the TT Asuna speed run and then retweet the post. - It literally smells like swamp. This is what I was trying to figure out what this smells like. - You know what it smells like? It smells like licorice. - And once you do all that, you will have the chance to win the Asuna plastic model with the signed wall scroll, gentlemen.

- Take off its wings and squeeze it into the- - Wait, wait, say that again. So how do you eat this mainland? - So you tear off its head. Do you want me to do it for you? - Yeah, yeah. - You tear off its head. And then you take off its wings. - Oh! - And then you- - Oh, there it is. - I'm gonna fucking puke. - You just give it a suck and that's it. - What the fuck is that? - Just give it that good suck. Wait, can I smell it?

- Ooh, that's strong, isn't it? - So if you missed the stream, watch the archive on our Twitch channels as a reference to build your own model. Both the regular version and the special bonus wall scroll set will be available on the EG Anime Store website. So check the links in the description to speed run it yourself. Please try and beat our times. How is it Garnt? How does it taste? - He just spat it out. He has the worst fucking after. I need some, give me this G Fuel, man. - Wait, do you wanna- - That is disgusting. - Do you wanna eat the Cobra chili instead?

- I'm fucking dying. What the fuck? Why did I just do that? - That's what you get for moseying around in a speed run. - I can smell the chili from here. - Honestly, the chili is like a fucking breath of fresh air compared to what I tasted. My mouth is on fucking fire right now, but it feels better than a fucking water bug, man. - I don't know why, but I like kind of want to try it. - Am I allowed to just try it?

- Oh, hey, Connor, there's one for you as well. - Oh, I'm okay, I'm okay. - Wait, so what are you doing? You rip off the head? - Rip off the head, take out the wings. - So wait, what is this used for? What is this fucking thing? - It's for food. - Oh God, that's very juicy. - Yeah. - It's like salty. - Oh God, look at that. - I don't wanna look at that. Don't show me. Don't pry its asshole open in front of me. - Wait, let me try. - God, Joey. - It literally tastes like salty swamp. That's literally what it like.

- Did you spit it out? Where'd you spit it out? - In the Starbucks. - I just swallowed it. - Yeah, actually, you know what? - Well, thank you H&M Store for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. - Fuck you, Malin. - Back to the episode. - Fuck you. - Back to the episode. - Fuck you.

- I'm fucking bored talking about anime. Fuck anime. - We're not even an anime podcast anymore. - Imagine talking about anime on Trash Taste, guys. - I feel like I'm attempting to be the Winnie the Pooh meme. Like the high classroom when I talk about anime. I'm trying to form opinions. I don't have opinions, Joey. I don't have well-formed- - I just watched that shit. - I don't have well-formed opinions about things. - What, do you think we do? - I just say what I feel, okay? - I mean, you don't have well-formed opinions about anything. - Fuck off. - So like anime, food,

- Food, gaming, like let's be honest here. Let's be honest here. - I went on a little rant on my stream the other day, just being like, Garnt is actually like, your parents didn't beat you enough. Because, right? Listen, he was allowed to get away with not eating crusts, right? If I didn't eat my crusts- - Oh, I think I saw you talking about that. - If I didn't eat my crusts right, you know what my parents would do? They'd be like, "That's fine Connor, you have dinner ready for tomorrow now." And I'd be like,

"Mom, I don't want them." She's like, "No, Connie, you're eating fucking crust. "You're not wasting food." - Who says that I didn't get my ass beat for not eating my crust? - Did you? - Okay. - Were you like fucking Spartacus? Like, "Mother, I will not bow to the crust." - Because I had gone my entire fucking childhood having to like being forced to eat my crust. So as soon as I was a fully grown adult who can make my own fucking crust,

- I was like, mother, I do not care what you think anymore. I'm going to not eat my crust. I pay my own rent. I pay my own bills. I buy my own food. Fuck you mother. - All I'm saying is you should have got a backhand a little bit more. You know what I mean? - It should have been a little harder. - That's such a bad joke. I'm so sorry. - There is something that like I didn't fully appreciate as a kid or like I didn't fully like,

- Good food. - Not cross. - We're not getting into food by the way. - We're not getting into food again. But like I was yesterday, I was fucking cleaning the house and I fucking hate cleaning the house.

I don't think anyone in their entire life lies cleaning the house. And I didn't realize why my parents fucking basically just every parent manipulates their kids to be like their personal slave. - To be my job slave. - When it comes to like cleaning the house. - Well, that's the reason why they used to have so many kids, right? It was like, they got to plow the fields, right? I intend to keep that British philosophy alive when I have a kid. - So I'm like seven kids. - He needs to plow the fields and clean the house and prepare the food. - Connor's gonna like min max

- I'm not gonna beat my kids by the way. That was a distasteful joke. Just saying that now. - Yeah, 'cause like, why is the like activity of cleaning just so awful? Like does anyone, who actually enjoys cleaning the house? - When you do it, when you have like,

you get rid of a lot of dirt. That's why I let it build up. I let it get like gross. 'Cause when you clean that shit, it's like peeling off a good scab. It's like, oh.

- Oh, it's so clean. - Yeah, but I need to see like a physical layer of dust in order for me to be like, yes. - Dude, when you swipe a whole layer of dust off with like a wet wipe or something, damn, that feels good. That takes that shit right off. - I get like a quarter chub at least. - But I don't like cleaning. - No, because like, yeah, that is a satisfying feeling. But my problem is that cleaning just,

shit like I never knew as a kid how much fucking time and effort it takes to clean. Like because okay, when you're a kid you just clean your own fucking room. You hoover the living room. - I didn't even do that. - Oh, you lucky motherfucker. - I would but then five minutes later be back to where it was. So my parents are just like, whatever. Like I still have fucking Vietnam flashbacks of my mom calling me like, I know she's about to ask you to hoover the living room. I know it. I fucking, I don't want to come down right now. - This Thai man having Vietnam flashback.

- But yeah, like I realized as an adult, the act of cleaning just like, it takes you all day. And like the reason I hate it is because it feels like, you know when you do something productive, like you do like a hard day of work or something, or like even playing a video game, you feel like you're making progress with your life. - I don't know about the video game thing, but- - No, no, like for me, whenever I'm playing like a first person game, like a single player game, you're like making progress with the story. - Yeah, okay, okay, okay. - Yeah, something like that. - I don't know about that.

- Like a JRPG, right? - Yeah, they're like a JRPG. - Yeah, I feel you. - With cleaning, like the whole, the entire concept of cleaning is that you're working towards making things zero again. You're working towards zero. You're working towards making things normal again.

- Oh, what happened? - Oh, it switched off. - Sorry, Joey laptop is shit. - But yeah, you're working towards making the default state zero again. And I'm just like, this doesn't feel good, yet it takes so much time and energy to do it. And no one prepared this for me as a kid. - It's like shoveling snow in a blizzard. - Yeah, right? - It's gonna form back up again. So it's like, what's the point? - I mean, I only used to clean, I'm like,

Like this is how I would decide if I'm gonna clean this day. Is somebody coming to my house? No, I'm not cleaning. - That is still my state. - Yeah, is somebody coming to my house? Fine, I'll clean. You know what the best adult purchase I ever made was in the UK? It was a good vacuum. I was like, you know what? What's all this hype around those Dyson things? What is all that hype? 'Cause I lived with a friend. - It's just a brand. - Yeah, I lived with a guy and his dad worked for the Henry Hoover's.

- You know those like the fucking ones with the smiley face? - The little smiley face? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I don't know if these are in America, but they're everywhere in the UK. These things are like tanks, they don't die, but they also kind of suck. They don't suck good, they should be sucking good. And I'm like, fuck this guy in my house, I was like, I want to get a Dyson. And he was like, no, no, no, mate, no, no, all you need is this thing. And he like fucking slaps it. He's like, it's a fucking unit this thing is. And I broke it within like two weeks.

- Yeah, I mean, that's my own fault. - What the fuck did you suck up? - Water?

- Well, that'll do it. - I was like, oh no, I have to get a new one. - Oh no, there's a puddle, quick, grab the Hoover. - Oh no, I have to get a new vacuum, fuck. So I bought a Dyson dude. That shit like cleaned up, like it could have, oh my God, it was a different color. I was like, what have I been doing my whole life? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - No, I never believed in that Dyson shit too until I bought one like a couple of years ago. I was like, let's see how good these are. And I do, I was like, all right,

- Not buying anything else anymore. - You crank that shit up to like max suck and like, oh my God. - It gives the good suck. - The max suck. - Okay, here's how I could, okay. You know, this Dyson has all this bullshit about rotating fucking things like 10 cylinder. It's a lot of shit. Let me say why it's good, right? You know that one piece that always sticks the fucking carpet that doesn't come off? Dyson never has an issue getting that one crumb out of the carpet. That shit always comes out because the normal vacuums, they don't get that shit out.

Like there's always that one fucking thing that for some reason won't come out. You gotta fucking- - It's just like clinging onto the carpet. - And then you're like, how many rollovers am I gonna do this thing until I just admit defeat, bend over, pull it out of the carpet like an animal and feed it into the vacuum like it's some budget dog. I'm like, here you go. Here you go, come on, take a seat. I don't like doing that. I don't wanna do that. I'm not a peasant. I shouldn't have to touch my carpet with my hands. That's disgusting. - Okay.

- Yeah, that's how I can sell it to you. You will never have to bend over. - You'll never have to bend to the knee. - Dude, it's amazing, dude. And that was like my gift to my parents when I went to Japan. 'Cause obviously I couldn't bring it with me. So I was like, parents, you can have my prized possession. - Here's a vacuum cleaner. - I'm like bending over, like giving him like the sword of Camelot, like fucking here you go, take it.

"Take my Dyson V12 Max suck edition." To be fair, she thought it was all nonsense, but she tried it. She was like, "All right Connor, this is a pretty fucking good gift." - She was converted. - You're welcome, mom. - She was converted. - Which is like the biggest reason I don't cook or like I don't like cooking is because cooking, like I like cooking, cooking's great, I like the food,

- Cleaning up, man. The ratio of time it takes to clean up versus eating good food, nice home-cooked food, it just doesn't, it's not optimal. It's so sub-optimized. The entire activity of cleaning is just sub-optimized in life. - You've become like me, I swear, recently. - No, no, no, no. - You're caring about the splits, the efficiency.

- Because cleaning for me has always been suboptimal. Like I don't know why this is the one activity in life that it's just like, this needs to be balanced. There needs to be like a balanced patch in life that just makes cleaning less effort. - It's like doing a 20 minute side quest to get to a two minute main quest. - Yeah, because it takes- - It just doesn't make sense. - It takes more like, it's a side quest that takes more time and energy than the fucking

- You finish cleaning and you're like, all right, time to get down to work. - It's like cool, I'm glad I spent 30 minutes cooking this thing that took me two minutes to eat. - Yeah, exactly. - I order a lot of Uber Eats, obviously.

And I caved and in Japan they have an Uber Eats pass where you can, if you pay $9 a month, you get free delivery fee. So there's no delivery fee, which is like two bucks each time. And I was like, fuck dude, am I really ordering this much fucking takeout? And I was like, yeah, yeah, I am. And then I did it in my head, right? I did this thing where like for three times when I cooked,

I timed it. I didn't speed run it or anything. I wasn't doing splits or anything. I wasn't like- - It's Benedict 80%. - This is the onion split. I got a gold onion split. No, I wasn't doing that. I just had a timer and I timed genuinely how long it took. And then I timed cleaning up. Because I wanted to know based on my average earnings for a month,

- Is this technically, am I losing money by cooking myself? - Right, right, right. - Because I was like, this is how I can scientifically justify to myself ordering takeout. - Right, right. - So I split it up, right? I did the average, no, I know this would be fucking, I knew you guys would fucking laugh at me for this. - This is just hilarious that you went to this effort. - This is big brain. This is big brain. Do it yourself, right? Go home now. - No, don't have to, 'cause you've done it for us.

- I do not enjoy cooking, right? So that whole factor of enjoyment is gone. That's not a factor in my decision. - But do you enjoy the end result? - I enjoy Uber Eats more. - Bro, you- - No, no, there is something about home cooked food. I don't know what it is. - Okay, to be fair-

- Yeah, there's a charm about a home cooked meal if you know how to cook. - Yeah, so my cooking is made- - If you don't, then it's just like punishment. - You should try sometime, Joey. - No, no, I'm good. - Just tell Aki to be like, yo. - I only make like curry and Mexican. That's all I make, right? Which is honestly, it's all you need in my book. So Mexican food, I can't really like make enough to store. Like, 'cause it's really fucking expensive for the ingredients as well here.

But curry I can normally make like enough for like six meals. And that's just pretty nice. 'Cause then that like the time versus like money effort is fine, but I don't cook anything else because when I did this thing, I found out that I was like wasting if you did the time to money conversion on my earnings to like, it was like 40% less efficient to cook my own meals. - You almost got like a fucking spreadsheet.

- Because it was driving me insane because I was speaking to some people who are like those fucking entrepreneur people. They're like, "I never cook or clean my own thing. "I hire a maid, I get Uber Eats. "I don't do any of that shit, it's a waste of time. "I'm on that grind 24/7." In reality, I would like an extra hour to play video games. I'm not gonna lie, because in my life, an extra hour to play video games is quite a lot of time. So if I can get an extra hour playing video games and then I can then later on spend an extra hour working, it's like, okay, it makes sense.

- To just get Uber Eats. - Yeah. - Is this just Connor the podcast trying to justify his spending? Is that what this is? - No, no, no, no. - Is this rich people problem? I'm kidding, I'm joking. - It's entrepreneur problems. - No, I completely, I mean, this is why we became fucking entrepreneurs, right? I've never fucking enjoyed cleaning in my life. I never will enjoy cleaning. And you know what's the only like, I guess like housework quote unquote that I really enjoy? - Yeah. - Doing the laundry.

- Okay, laundry is nice. - There's something about laundry. - There's something about laundry. I really like it. It's just like, I just put some music on, I'm outside. - But you feel clean. - Usually it's like a nice day and I'm just hanging up my clothes. I'm just like, hey, you know what? - No. - Stress free. - Bro, suboptimize. - This is why Sydney

- He does the laundry. Thank you, Sydney, by the way. - This is why I get a woman to do it. - I laugh sometimes. I laugh sometimes 'cause like my mom's like, "You're gonna need to learn how to do the laundry someday, someday." And then Sydney comes along and is like, "I love laundry. Laundry's so relaxing." - It is, it is. - I'm like, "Good." - It's the whole thing of like your school teacher being like, "You're not gonna carry a calculator with you every day." It's like, "Ha ha, about that." - I'm gonna say it, dude.

- When you have fresh sheets, not only is that sleep the best, that's the best wank you'll have in like all month, dude. In fresh sheets, dude. - Wait, you wank, wait, wait. - Why am I disgusting? - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

- That was the biggest they had us in the first half of like ever had in this podcast. Cause I was going to be like, yeah, I know exactly what you weigh. What the fuck? What are you saying? - Are you saying you don't like that? Come on. - I don't jack off in my bed. - I don't jack off in my bed. - Well if you have sex in it as well, it's also great. - Yeah. - I mean, you know what you said though. - If you would've said that, we would be like, yes, I agree Connor. - Same thing, same thing. The same climax in the bed, fresh sheets, all same thing.

- No, like I love fresh sheets. I hate the process of getting fresh sheets. Like, okay, okay. Like putting on bed sheets. - Okay, you've seen my setup.

- Wait, what's your setup? - Connor has like, okay, you look at Connor's gaming setup, it's like perfect. Everything is optimized. And then you see his bed and it's like one of those Reddit reacts to some of the worst fucking gaming setups you've ever seen. It's like a $2 bed setup. - You just have a fucking towel on your fucking mattress. - No, no, so there's literally nothing in my bedroom except a bed.

and there's like literally nothing. - Why not? - I don't know, it's from the fucking bedroom. I just sleep in there. I don't do anything else in there. It's worth it. - Yeah, your bed frame's like broken, isn't it? - Yeah, it's broken as well. 'Cause I bought the cheapest one on Amazon when I moved here. 'Cause you know, moving's expensive, right? And it was so expensive that I was like, fuck,

I regret it because I bought a $200 bed and that was the mattress combined. And this shit's fucking awful. All the springs are fucked, the bed's broke. - You were talking so much about like, yeah, why would you buy a $20 headset when you can just buy a $100 one and you get your money's worth. - Here's the thing.

I had that philosophy, but again, moving kind of like distorts your price range. Because you're spending like, you know, I got to put down like a fucking 4K deposit on this shit. The flights are this much. I had to pay shipping for my PC. Like I was spending a lot of money. I'm like, fuck, I'm kind of losing a lot of money. So I was like, I gotta start saving costs. I can't buy a 10K bed frame. So I bought the cheapest one on Amazon, which I regretted within about two weeks.

Actually no, immediately when I built it, 'cause building it was a pain in the fucking ass. I could tell when I was building it, I'm like, oh no, this isn't even like budget plywood. This is like the throwaway plywood that they would use. - It's like the foamy plywood. - I remember seeing the exact bed frame we bought on Amazon and it was like two and a half stars.

And that's when I knew that mistakes were made. - I just wanted something and I wanted it now and I regretted it so much. But anyway, what happened was the most ghetto thing that I have is that I'm actually using a bed sheet as like a mattress cover.

- Wait, what? - So what happened was, right? - How do you stretch that shit over it? - Okay, actually with a lot like the fucking power of Zeus, I'm like, no! I'm like pulling the Red Sea back together when I'm trying to put these bed sheets. It's a zip. It goes all around my mattress. - Oh, you fucking zipped it around your mattress? - You like put it in?

- You just fucking like condom your mattress. - What the fuck did you do? - I'm like fucking Spartacus, right? When he's kicking the guy, I'm like doing that to my mattress every time I wash it. - You have to do that every time you wash your mattress as well? So you wash your bed sheet? - So I wash my bed sheet as well, yeah, yeah. - So you have to fucking strip this thing out

and then wash it and then condom it back in. - I feel so sorry for your bed sheet, man. - It's very stretched. So what happened? Okay, but also I do avoid that annoying thing. This is very like, this is like the only plus in this. Now I'll go into the many negatives. The only plus, right, is that, you know that fucking annoying thing when you're sleeping and the bed sheet comes off in the corner? You can never get it like back on unless you actually get off the bed. I fucking hate that. That sucks. Never have that issue.

- Because the entire thing is wrapped. - It's zipped up around it. - No, no, I can see like the benefits of it because like the best bed sheets are the ones that are like super tight. They're firm. If I see wrinkles in that shit, that's like instant. - You know it's shit too because sometimes you'll wake up and on your body you'll like have like imprints. - Oh, I hate that. - I'm just like, oh, what the fuck is that?

- Instant softie right there, man. - I do have a backup bed sheet, which is actually like proper, but I refuse to use it unless I'm desperate because I love this one and I like even putting it back on. - You love fucking turning your mattress into a bean bag. - So here's how I ended up with a bed sheet as my duvet and it goes all around my mattress. I fully put it all around my mattress and zip it up all the way.

So when I moved here, I went to Nitori, which is kind of like Japanese Ikea, which I think we've mentioned before. I go there, right? So I buy the pillows, the pillow sheets, you know? I buy the duvet and I go to the staff member and I ask him and like, I'm making sure I've got Google translate, man. I'm like duvet or like whatever that's fucking called blanket, whatever. I did not say,

I did not say futon. I'm like, I'm showing him. I'm like this. I even showed a picture. I'm like, oh, this, this part, which one is this? Then like broke it Japanese with Google translate. He's like, oh, no problem fam. I got you. Points me to this. I buy it.

I get home, what do you think it is? It's a fucking futon. And he saw me buy the futon, another futon. It wasn't even in the same section as well. So that's why I was confused when I got home. 'Cause I'm like, wait, this was in a different section. Why do we have two different futon types? What is this? So I have two fucking futon colors. So I have the bed sheet and then I have the mattress.

So I got home and I needed to sleep. So I'm like, well, fuck it. It's going in one way or another. Like it's going over my bed. I think Garnt helped me the first time getting up. This is a two person mission. - Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Like how the fuck do you get that on yourself? - So yeah, I thought I had just assumed that you got a duvet now. - I've mastered the technique of doing it, right? Okay, here's what I do. To get it off is easy. Cause it's like, it's like you're letting it- - It wants to get up.

- Yeah, it's like letting a pig out of clothes. That shit wants to come up. Getting back on, right? Okay, first of all, here's the setup. I flipped my mattress to the side, right? So it's upright. And then I fucking like pull over half and I flip it upside down the other end, pull it up. And then there's basically what happens is that it's up to here, right? So this is long horizontal, right? I've got to basically,

force this shit together, like grab it together and hold it. And it hurts my hands 'cause it's tight. I gotta like slowly pull a little bit by little bit. And if I let go, it all goes back.

So I have to keep grabbing a little bit and zipping, grabbing a little bit and zipping. It's a pain in the fucking ass and I hate it. - Why don't you just get a fucking duvet? - It's like putting on the world's largest condom. - No, no, no, dude. I mean, I think that is the bed sheet. Just get a proper bed sheet. - Yeah, just get a proper bed sheet. - Because you know what? I love the firmness of it. Like I love how tight it is around my bed. - Just get a fucking bed sheet and just- - At that point, you might as well not even have a fucking bed sheet. - Why, why? - No, no, no, no. Like there's a difference between having no bed sheet and having a firm bed sheet. - I sweat like a motherfucker. I need a bed sheet. - Right.

- I don't know, I've kind of gotten used to it now. I kind of like it now though. - This man literally made a spreadsheet trying to optimize cooking and he can't even buy a fucking bed sheet. - Because then I got to optimize that. That's another thing I gotta optimize. I'm sick of it, man. Well, to be fair, that whole optimization with the Uber Eats was just to justify to myself why I can have like pad thai three times a week, to be honest.

- I like the final result of cooking and clean fucking bed sheets, but like having to change your duvet, like do you find it nice like fiddliest fucking thing ever to like take the duvet off and like putting it back on and having to make sure every,

Every corner is perfectly situated on every- - Well, see, if you do it, if you have a zipped up one, every corner will be. It doesn't have a choice. - Not the bed sheet, the actual fucking blanket part. - Oh, that's easy, 'cause the ones in Japan, big brain, they come with the holes at the end, so you can just flip it up inside out, grab the thing, and then whoosh. - Yeah, that's what I always do. - You could do that? - No. - That's what I always do. - What? - That's what I've done ever since I was little. - So you turn it inside out. - Yeah, I do that. - And then you, like a little ghost, you put it over you.

- Yeah, I do that. - You grab the ends of the futon and then you just like flip it over and then shake it down. - Yeah, and then shake it down. - But like for me, like I don't know- - Isn't that what hotels do? Yeah, 'cause they go to speed running. They do like a hundred rooms. - Like I don't know if my like, 'cause I think,

I have like my fucking nightmare where my duvet is not the same size as my blanket. It's slightly bigger. So I always have like left. - I hate that. - See, I have like a little bit of fabric left over. - Oh my God, it triggers me so much, man. That's why. - I hate the ones, I hate the ones like our old fucking duvet.

the perfect size, but the problem was is that it would, the duvet inside would move around. - I hate that. - Yeah. - So like one end of the duvet would just have like just fucking scrunched up so that you try and pull it over, it's just sheet. And I'm just like, fuck, what?

- This is why I think you are most likely to have a mental breakdown when you're doing your bed sheets or putting a duvet on. - That's why I fucking hate it, man. That's why I fucking hate it. - I don't know what it is about putting sheets on, but when it just doesn't work, you're like, fuck it. I just want to cry and just be like, why won't it work? Why won't it work?

- Why is my day going bad? - I used to work in like a hotel, like lodges in like ski fields and stuff. And I had to do that shit every fucking day. So yeah. So I basically like- - You shovel shit out of the drains and then you gotta go do that? - Yeah. So I had to, I was basically- - That sounds like my nightmare. - Yeah. So like at first I fucking hated it. I was like, oh, there's- - That's when you dropped the shit. - There's 30 rooms in this hotel. That doesn't seem too bad. Five rooms in you're like, fuck man, I want to go home. Like, fuck, like just fucking around with the duvet.

I'm not going in. I have 25 rooms left to do this. - I would actually have a mental breakdown if I just do like five sheets in like one hour. I would actually be like, no, no, I don't think life is for me. - I'm like, I'm not getting paid enough for this shit. - I would actually rather shovel shit. - Yeah, I'd rather shovel shit and like fucking get shouted at McDonald's than do five duvets in a row, man. - So now I'm just used to it 'cause I've lived through that fucking Vietnam war.

- What didn't you do at this job, Joey? Jesus Christ. - I didn't work in the kitchen, that's for sure. - Yeah, because there's something fucking special about hotel duvets. And just like getting in like a hotel bed and just feeling like you're in a fucking straight jacket. I don't know, man.

- I fucking love that feeling. - I don't like when hotels do that, when they fucking- - No, yeah, because you get in the bed and you're like, what is this? The world's fucking strongest man for weight pulling? - You just have to fucking like shimmy yourself into it. - I love that feeling. You feel like fucking safe. You feel covered. - No, I feel like I'm in a straitjacket. - This is my safe zone right now and no one can fucking touch me. I feel like a moth. I feel like a fucking caterpillar who's like about to fucking- - No, no, no. - Okay, what about, okay, I hate it when they took

like half the fucking duvet under the front of the bed. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So you get in it and it's like you're trying to fucking tow a car when you're pulling this shit out. You're like this on the bed like. - No, I just like shimmy myself in and I'm just like, ah. I feel like I'm back in my mom's womb right now. Nothing can hurt me. - I can't even shimmy myself in. It's like I'm trying to get into pants five sizes too small.

- I feel bad as well when they put a lot of like, they put like a cloth on the bed, like a little, like, I don't know, like that shit they put on the front of the bed. I'm like, get rid of that. Get that fucking out of here. - Oh, the thing like at the end? - It's like a linen thing or something. I don't know what it is. - You know what that's for? - What is that for? - It's for, apparently it's an American thing. Apparently it's so that you can wear shoes on the bed.

- I'm about to leave right now. - So you've probably seen it before in hotels where there's just like this one weird fucking tablecloth-sized thing. - Yeah, I hate that thing. - At the end of the bed, right? - That's for shoes? - That's for shoes. - But they do that in Japanese hotels where you have to take your shoes off at the front. - Yeah, that's what I don't understand. - Why? - I understand in American hotels, as the only white person here. - No, no, no, don't put this on me. - I need your opinion. - I was raised correctly.

- Shoes on sofas and beds. Does that trigger you as it should? - Yes, yes, of course. My parents would hit me if I did that. Are you kidding me? - I've never understood. I always thought, you know when you'd watch like the Simpsons or like American TV shows or whatever, how they would take their shoes off before going to bed.

- Like where they would like keep their shoes on the side of the bed. And then when they wake up, the first thing they would do is put shoes on. I just thought that was like parody. I didn't actually think Americans did that. - I mean, it's not just America, it's most of the fucking West. And like, as an Asian, I'm just like, why did the West just normalize war crimes? - Why are your like dirty fucking like gross ass shoes on the carpet?

That shit's gross. - That's what blows my mind. I'm like, you are literally dragging like daily shit into your carpet by bringing your shoes in. - And then people complain being like, oh man, I hate carpet because it's so dirty. I'm like, yeah, 'cause it can put you in shoes. - Like whenever I would go to a friend's house and they would be like, and I go to his house and he would be like, it's okay, you can keep your shoes on. I'm like, motherfucker.

- Fuck it, tell me to take my shoes off. - I want to take my shoes off, man. - I would actually rather, like I'm not a fucking animal. I'm not gonna bring dirt into the house, all right? - I don't know what it is, but like when I'm shitting with shoes on in somebody's house, it feels so weird. It feels like I'm in a public restroom. Like I don't wanna shit with my shoes on. I wanna be comfortable, man.

- Man, this drives me insane. And there'll be people commenting to me like, "I wear my shoes in bed." Stop. - Stop. - For your own sake. - It's gross. - Please, stop. - Please, if you wanna go against the Geneva Conventions, just do it in your own fucking- - It goes against basic human rights to wear shoes in bed. - I love all our fans except for the ones that wear shoes to their bed. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

All my homies hate people who wear shoes in bed. - My God, yeah, my God. 'Cause I went to fucking, Jesus, my editor, Evan, I went to his house and that was disgusting. He had like a five inch thick carpet

I don't even know what color this carpet was supposed to be, but it definitely wasn't the color that it came as. This shit was vile, dude. Evan, fix that fucking carpet, man. And they all wore like the dirtiest shoes inside. And I was like, Evan, I can't. - Right, I'm like, have you not heard of house slippers? Like if you have to wear something, just wear slippers. - What's wrong with bare feet, man, or socks? - Yeah, but even if, it's like, dude, slippers.

It's fine, it's clean. - This video is sponsored by Skillshare. - No matter what 2021 brings, you can spend it creating something meaningful with Skillshare's online classes because time is what we make of it. - Damn, that's deep, bro. - Skillshare is an online learning community that offers membership with meaning.

Thanks for sponsoring the episode, back to the show. - Going back to the topic of beds and everything, opinions on pajamas. Do any of you guys wear pajamas? - I sleep naked. - Like specifically like pajamas? - Yeah, just pajamas. - No, for me it's just like underwear and some random t-shirt. - All right, good. I don't understand pajamas at all.

- Do you wear a t-shirt to bed? I don't wanna wear it. Why? Why would you wear a t-shirt to bed? - I mean, unless it's like fucking stinking hot, like in the summer, like I'll wear no shirt, but most of the time I have to wear a shirt. - Like max comfort is the least amount of clothes you could wear basically. And you know, you basically only wear boxes. So your fucking dangly bits don't go everywhere. That's pretty much the only reason. - I like the freedom though, you know, let them loose. I'm sleeping. I wanna be comfy. - No, but like, I don't know.

- I like wearing a t-shirt because sometimes in the morning, the weather can like completely change.

So I don't, especially nowadays in the winter, like I'm a little bit too cold if I don't wear at least the t-shirt, even with the heater on. But yeah, I don't know. - What about when you say like a friend's house? Do you wear a t-shirt when you sleep? 'Cause I'm just like immediately I'm like, right, I'm stripping. - It depends how close I am to that friend. - I mean, it doesn't matter who they are. I'm like, right, if I'm staying in your house, I'm sorry, I'm asleep. Like I'll sleep with boxes on, I'll humor you.

I won't get my junk everywhere. I'll sleep with boxes on. - So you can just not wear a shirt? - I can't sleep with a t-shirt on. - Why? - I don't know, I feel like I'm outside still. When I take the t-shirt off, in my head it signifies like, okay, we're going to bed or I'm going in the bath. - Are you the type of person who like when doing like a serious, like heavy shit, like you have to like take your shirt off? - No, but, but.

- I had a few friends where like, like if the pain was like really fucking like, it was such a powerful shit. They'll be like to like fully get out like a hundred percent of their power. - You're trolling me. - No, no, no, no. - You know people like that. - You're just like fuck man, I need to take my shirt off to get serious.

- How do you not know people like that? - This is satire. Where's the hidden camera? No fucking way is this true right now. - I'm serious. - What, a thing like fucking Goku with weighted training, with weighted shirts or something? It's just like, hold on, let me use 100% of my power to push this shit out. - Because you're like sweating so hard, you're just like, I need to take my shirt off. - But like, what if, okay, also when you're like hungover.

- When you're hung over, the shits are terrible. So you're like, fuck, I mean, I just woke up, I'm naked, so fuck it, I'll do it when I'm naked. - Not gonna lie, I've had moments where the shit's been so powerful and stressful where I'm just like, I have to take my shirt off.

- I don't do that, but I know people who do. - Yeah, I don't know if it's like placebo, but like it works. - Imagine like fucking Tyler on the shit. - You know the only time I, when I'm like, if I'm ever like vomiting, I wanna be naked.

- What? - Because I don't want to get that shit anywhere or smell my clothes. So I'm like, I'll just get naked and I'll hug this toilet bowl until I'm done. - But if you're hugging it, then like there's no way you're gonna fucking like onto your shirt. - I just don't want that shit in my clothes at all, man. I'm like, I don't know. I just, and also feels better. I don't know why. Feel it like, I need to get like, it's so restrictive. I'm getting stuffy in these. I just want to vomit. Like, I don't know. Like when I was like- - How often did you vomit?

- 'Cause every time I've seen you vomit, you have clothes on. - Oh yeah, true. Yeah, but like when I'm like, if you're really sick, like when I had food poisoning back in like whenever, when they thought I had the rona, like I was like vomiting and I had to be like naked 'cause I was like, otherwise I thought I'd get on my clothes and I'm like, that's gross, it's so fun. - Little did you know that during the chess tournament, every time you went to take a shit, he'd just fucking rip your pants off.

- That was awful when I was taking a shit with the suit on. I'm like, please, please don't get it on the suit. - That's the worst timing to take a shit is when you're in a full suit. - It's gross. - No, 'cause like for me wearing a t-shirt in bed is just like, sometimes, especially in the winter, you wake up and it's like a cold fucking morning. - Yeah. - I love that. - And like, how do you escape your duvet at that point?

it's like, I don't know, being branded. You're like, "Just fucking do it, just do it." - No, for me it's just like gravity has increased tenfold in this bed. And it's like, I'm like experiencing 10 Gs in this bed right now. It's like, I actually can't get up. - It literally takes me like an hour to get out of bed. - I don't know, I have like the fucking call of duty, like text popping up on my screen, "Mission, get to the shower." Like that's what it's like for me. - I have to do like one limb at a time to be like, "All right, let me just get my right arm out

Once that's like room temperature, then I'll get my right leg out. It's like, all right, now I can go. - I used to have like a heated thing that you could put onto your bed, but that just made me lazier. So I got rid of it. - What do you mean? - 'Cause I never wanted to leave the bed. - Like a heated bed? - Like a heated thing under the mattress. So it was like just always warm. But then I was like, this is also a fire hazard. And yeah, I just don't, I cannot get out of bed with this thing. - Yeah, that's true.

- I mean, okay, have we talked about a kotatsu's last before? - I don't remember. - I don't think we have. - Explain them to the audience, Garnt. - So if, I mean, they watch anime, you watch anime, right? You know what a kotatsu is. If you don't know what a kotatsu is, it's basically like a heated coffee table where it's like a little coffee table that has blankets around it and you put your legs in it and you put them under and it's all nice and cozy and warm. And it is...

- I don't know about amazing. - I think it's fucking amazing. - There's a few logistical issues that crop up with a kutatsu. Well, how many legs can fit under there?

- Depends on how big the table is. - It's normally not that big. It's normally, you can comfortably probably fit two people's legs. - No. - I mean, are you comparing this to my kotatsu, which is fucking tiny? - No, no, no, like a normal kotatsu. 'Cause like, I wanna stretch my legs fully out underneath that thing. You can only really fit like two before you start touching people's legs. I don't wanna touch Joey's legs. They're disgusting. - All my homies touch legs.

- I don't wanna play footsie with Joey under the table while I'm playing Uno. - I want to. - Fucking stop. - I wanna twiddle toes while I call Uno. - What if you don't know them super, I mean you probably do know them well. - Yeah, exactly. - If you're sharing it to Kurtazza. - I'm not sharing it to Kurtazza with a fucking stranger. - Why not? That should be in a restaurant. - That's weird. - It's nice, but then also I find that it's like, 'cause I know you could turn it up and down, but it's like, it's either like, I would rather the room be hot than my legs be hot.

Does that make sense? - No, I would not rather that. Okay, I literally had this problem recently, which is like why I get reminded why I really don't fucking like winter, right? So unlike these boys, I fucking hate the cold and I hate winter. - I love the cold. - And like the reason I hate it is because you're in a cold room and you wanna get comfortable. So what do you do? You put on the heater, but I hate the feeling of a stuffy room. Like this room is getting a bit- - Have you considered- - You're from a stuffy country though.

- Have you considered wearing another item of clothing? - No, no, no. - A jumper or a hoodie. - No, no, no, because there's a problem because if you wear like a fucking jumper or something and the room's cold, then your fucking hands are cold. And like, I'm just trying to work. - It is not that cold. - It is, no, no, it can get that cold sometimes in winter. - Does the blood circulate to your fingers enough or? - My fucking feet, like before we turn on the heater, my fucking feet were ice cold, man. I am not joking.

- It's really not that cold. - Are you a fucking lizard with your body? Like what the fuck? - My body was just not built for the cold and there's nothing more uncomfortable for me than just- - Built different in the opposite. - Than just a stuffy room. 'Cause like sometimes I'm like, maybe I'm getting ill. And then I realized I go outside and it's because the room's so stuffy that I haven't realized how uncomfortable I'm feeling. - But that's why I very rarely turn on the heater unless it's like a seriously cold. Because for me it's like,

if I'm cold, I'll just wear another layer of clothing. And then A, the room isn't stuffy and B, I'm warm. - But also it's really easy to make a room not stuffy. You just open a window for like one minute after you've heated the room up. It won't be cold after one minute. - Yeah, but then after you open the window, then it gets cold again. - Not in like one minute. - And then the cycle continues. - Not in one minute. - There is never like a perfect temperature that I'm like happy with when it's winter.

because if I need to like artificially warm it up, then either it's gonna be too stuffy or I'm gonna be too cold. There is no in between. - But there's something so nice about being in a warm room knowing it's freezing outside. - Yeah, I agree. - There's something that's so magical about that. - It's like going to bed in a thunderstorm, right? Like there's something comforting about it. - Yeah. - I don't know if you guys relate to that.

- I just gave you like the thousand yards standing. Like you were like, yeah, you guys know what I'm talking about. - No, no, no, I like it. I like it. I know what you mean. It's just like white noise outside. - Yeah, there's something comforting about like outside is fucked right now, but I'm safe inside, dry and warm.

- Some of the best sleeps I've had have been like camping on the floor, but because it's so fucking freezing outside and you're in your little like worm cocoon, it's so nice. - Yeah, I agree. I agree. - I just like being comfortable existing, I guess. Like I don't want to do anything to make my existence more comfortable. I just like being in a room and being like, okay, I can do whatever I want. - I think you just spoke on behalf of all humanity.

I just want a comfortable existence. I just want to be- - He just wants to fucking wear a turtleneck in his room and be a happy boy. - Honestly, what's wrong with that? I don't want to put on a heater. - Okay, to be honest, the only reason why I, okay, two reasons why I don't wear turtlenecks. A- - You look like an asshole. - I look like a dick. And B, I-

- Steve Handjob's here though. - No, no, you can make it work. I can't make it work. I look like a fucking weirdo with a turtleneck. But B, like my neck for some reason, I don't know what it is. It exerts so much fucking heat that like legit, like that's the reason why like I fucking like,

I can't wear a scarf either because when I wear a scarf, my neck gets so fucking sweaty. - Bro, I fucking love wearing scarves. - I know. - Scarves are great. - I like wearing scarves too, but only if it's like really, like I'm talking like, you know, minus 10, minus 20 degrees. - Literally the reason I started wearing turtlenecks had nothing to do with like me thinking turtlenecks looks nice. I just remember the first time I put on a turtleneck, I'm like, oh, this is like permanently wearing a scarf that I'd never have to take off. This is like perfect for me.

- Because I fucking love the feeling of wearing scarves. - Exactly, but like, it doesn't matter like how cold it is for me. I don't know why I get so sweaty around my neck. - Who needs renewable energy when we can just use Joey's fucking neck to power the planet. - You can just all huddle around my neck like this and just warm your hands up on my neck.

- I don't know what it is. Like my neck is always so fucking hot. And which sucks because people have always told me, oh yeah, you look really good in a scarf. And I'm like, yeah, I like wearing scarves. I like the feeling of it, but I can only wear it for me. - You say that you're fine, but you're not really fine. - Exactly. It's like, I like wearing a scarf and I think I look good in a scarf, but the problem is I can't wear a scarf for more than two minutes. 'Cause then I'm just like, fuck this, it's so hot. I can't. - Overheating, overloading.

- Going kind of on topic, but okay, go, go, go. - Yeah, going back to why I like kotatsu is that kotatsu is like, I can feel warmer kotatsu and not feel stuffy. So it's like one of the few spaces where I'm just like, if I'm getting hot, I can just roll on the kotatsu and- - But that's the problem I have with kotatsu is the exact same problem I have with beds in winter.

- It's that the moment I enter the kotatsu, the Gs jack up to like 10 Gs and I can't leave it. - Yeah, I felt the same way. - Also, I really like sitting on the floor. Like sitting on the floor isn't that comfortable for me. - Right. - And kotatsu you normally have to sit on the floor. I need some like back support, man. - But there's those chairs. - There's those chairs. - Yeah, those are pretty good. But like most of the time they don't really have those, do they? It's just kind of like you just sit, put your hands back if you wanna lean back a little bit. - I mean, you can lean back on the couch.

- Yeah, I mean, if there's a couch there, it's nice. But sometimes people don't have that. I mean, you go, right? But whatever. I mean, I'm being nippy. - You should just bring your own like fucking portable chair. - Wherever I go. - Do you have a Kotatsu? I'm coming. - I'm like that guy with the camping chair, like flips it out with one hand. I'm like, I'm ready for the Kotatsu. - Exactly. - I'm ready to be comfortable. - Honestly, like Kotatsu is, I remember the first time I tried out a Kotatsu here in Japan and it was like instant life-changing moment.

- What do you mean? It's just a warm table. What are you like, how is it life changing? - Come on, come on. Like you have some of those moments where you're just like, how did I go my entire life without this? Like, okay. - It is pretty fucking warm. - Heated toilet seats. The first time I went to Japan and tried a heated toilet seats, I'm just like, how is the rest of the first world fucking like,

- Other first world countries haven't caught on to this. - Yeah, I won't lie. I think I have actually ruined toilets for myself. 'Cause whenever I go to a toilet now that doesn't have a bidet, I legit feel like I'm dead. - I have a panic attack. - I legit feel like, how am I supposed to wash my ass clean? Wipe it? Are you kidding me? I'm not an animal. I don't touch that area. If I ever move back to the UK, no joke, I'm 100% like- - Invest in a bidet. - The suitcase is empty, dude. I'm making room for the premium $1,000 bidet.

because I'm using that shit daily. I want to shit like a king. And like, I remember ProCD, I was talking to him as well one time. He was like, dude, when he came back from Japan, the one thing he brought was a bidet. - Really? - Because he was like, I insist. - I feel him, he has taste, man. - He was arguing, he was like, I insist that I shit like a king. And I'm like, honestly?

- I completely understand it. 'Cause once you get used to a bidet and you get the heated seat, you get the little pressure washer, you can have it set to like boom, boom, boom, boom, like go back and forth on your ass cheeks. It's nice, dude. My ass feels permanently clean. Why wouldn't I want a shower for my ass every time I shit? Like, are you kidding me? Sometimes I don't even shit, but I do it 'cause I'm like, why not clean my ass? Why not? Why? I got time. - I got some time. - Why not make my ass feel refreshed? 'Cause you know sometimes, right, man,

you have those days where like it's a hot day, you get like swamp ass, you know what I mean? - Yeah. - Where your ass just gets kind of sweaty. It's not even bad, but just a little bit, right? You're like, why not just clean it? - Your butt cheeks get a little stuck. - Okay, so you talk, okay, I completely misunderstood. So you're not talking about it's heated,

- The heated seat is also amazing. - You're talking about bidets. - Yeah, the bidet and, but the heated seats part of the bidet package, right? Even the cheapest ones have them. - Okay, I don't use the washing, ass washing function of the bidet at all. - Why not? - Fucking, it just doesn't feel clean.

- I don't know. - It's the cleanest thing in the toilet. - It does not. - You are kidding me. - Okay, so you- - This is like going to space and being like, "Yeah, I never looked out the window. Why would I? Why would I look out the window?" - So you bidet your ass, right? You got the water shooting up your ass and then you stop it and then you just got a fuck. You just got wet ass. - So you get some of the toilet paper and you just dry it a little bit. - Yeah, you dry it off.

- Yeah, because like you need the toilet paper, but it doesn't feel clean without that wipe. - Yeah, but okay, some of them have dryers and those are pretty good. - No, no, no. - Have you tried? Have you tried? - I have tried. - Fuck off. - I have tried. - No, no, no. Okay, yeah, because there's a difference between wiping to dry your, why are we talking about this?

There's a difference between wiping to dry your ass and wiping to get the shit out. They're very different types of wipes, right? - One is like a deep wipe and the other is like a shallow wipe. - One is an excavation. The other is a pat down. - Look, toilet papers were not designed to wipe wet asses.

- No, because your ass isn't the fucking like Amazon river, dude. It's a little moist. - Yeah, yeah. So what I hate is when you have a wet ass after a bidet, you go to wipe it and the toilet paper just fucking disintegrates on your hands. - Bro, are you six one? - How much water are you fucking like,

- What are you using? - How much water can your asshole in vertical position contain? - It doesn't matter, it's fucking toilet paper. - What ply are you using Garnt? What ply are you using? One ply? Fucking sandpaper? What are you using to absorb this? - You gotta use the double though. - Double minimum, come on.

- What ply are you using? God, ask your question. - What's a ply? - How many sheets of paper is used in it? - Are you using like one square and being like, "Shit, I'm all out." - It doesn't fucking matter, man. Anyone who lives in Asia knows that toilet paper here is weak as fuck. - That sounds broke. That sounds broke as fuck. You sound broke right now, Garnt. I can't believe how much of a peasant joke this is. - I thought it was just,

it was just a tie thing where toilet paper was just like fucking flaccid. No, I moved to Japan and toilet paper here is like fucking weak as fuck. - You can buy the good shit. - Yeah, you get the double ply shit and then you do like maybe like one wrap around your hand. That's more than enough to absorb any amount of liquid that's down there. - You pile on three little sheets. That's a nice thickness to it, right? They're two ply. - At least like that thick. And then just get under there, it won't rip.

- And your ass is clean and it's dry. - I cannot believe you would come here. Like honestly, bidet is in the top three things about Japan, if I'm gonna be honest with you. - Yeah, he did toilet seats, bidet is okay. - The whole shitting experience is top three. - The whole toilet experience. - Is like a top three Japanese thing for me, man. Like it's just great. - Okay, another thing. - I look forward to shitting. - Another thing about bidet is as well, like it shoots up right up your asshole, right? - That's exactly what I want. - And then you just feel like you're fucking shitting out water. And so like,

"How deep is your asshole?" - Do you like goats? - Yeah, he's like this. - Just sit down on it, man. - There's just fucking water stuck in your asshole, man. - Are you like giving yourself like a prostate massage on a bidet? - No, it's just like, it's just natural. - Do you get water stuck in your anus? - No. - No, I mean, how do you do that? What is your asshole?

- Are you putting your asshole over the bidet like thing? Like are you putting it in? - What, the hose? - Yeah, are you putting the hose in? - No, but the stream of water is fucking strong enough. - Put it down, put it down.

- You probably set it to like fucking pressure hose. - Public fountain display. - Because if it's not strong, then it's just a fucking trickle on your ass and that's not cleaning up shit. - That is called medium. - You need the fucking pressure to fucking clean that shit off your ass. - But if it has enough pressure to clean the shit off your ass, then you're getting water stuck in your ass.

- No, you're not. - There is no in between. - No, you're not. - My bidet is on the fucking max pressure and it's perfect because you can feel the shit coming off. And I mean, I don't know about you, but my asshole is normal. - Fucking ironclad asshole right here, man. - Just clench it a bit. - I clench, I clench a little bit. - No, because if you clench, then you're not fucking cleaning it properly. - Yes, you are. - You're clenching when you're shitting. What do you mean?

- Wait, you're not cleaning it properly when you clench? Of course you are. - What do you mean like clench? Wait, you clench when you fucking bidet that shit? - A little bit. - Pucker up your asshole a little bit. - God is like, relax my anus. Allow the water to flow in. What are you doing? - You're giving yourself a fucking bidet enema. That's what it feels like. It honestly feels like I'm taking a fucking bidet enema every time. - You are doing this totally wrong, Garnt.

- Wait, because I don't clench when I shit. - What do you mean? - Well, you're just like, I let gravity do its work. - What is this, a fun slip and slide giraffe? How is this shit coming up?

- What do you mean by clench? Do you just mean push? - Yeah, punch, that's the same thing normally. - No, okay, that doesn't help with a bidet. It still goes up the fucking asshole even if you fucking push that shit out. - We need an anatomy of your asshole. Can we get an x-ray of your asshole so we can see what's going on? - Can we get like bidet cam just to see like how fucking loose your asshole is when it gets bideted? I just don't like the feeling of like water on my ass.

- And I don't know. - So wait, what about in the shower? - Yeah, what do you clean your ass with? - No, okay, so you know when you- - Do you clean your ass Garnt? - Yeah, I clean my fucking ass. - How do you clean your ass? - You talked about the sweaty, you talked about the sweaty feeling in your asshole. - Swamp ass. - Yeah, swamp ass. If I get swamp ass, I just take a fucking shower, man.

- A whole shower? That's so unnecessary. - I can take three showers a day if I need to. - If God takes one shit and goes home, he's like, "Fuck, gotta shower now, man." - Honestly, honestly, sometimes if I wanna feel clean after a shit, I just take a fucking shower, man. Quick five.

- What are you doing in these toilets? You're like, Garnt is that one dude who when you leave some public restrooms, it's like a fucking war zone. That must be Garnt. That is my house. There's shit everywhere, shit on the wall. It's like, that is Garnt. It's Garnt going in the restroom. - It's like shit in places you didn't think shit would end up. - It's the fucking opposite, man. - Garnt's like, why would I use a bidet when it can't reach the wall? - My shits are like the cleanest shits, you know? - Fuck off. - They are. There's no such thing as a clean shit.

- Okay, no. Have you never had like the perfect shit? - The no wipes, yeah. - Like the swish as I call it. - The perfect shit, which is just like, you just shit out a log and it's like one solid clean log. And then you look at it and it's like no wipe. You look at it and you're just like, man, that's a fucking piece of art right there. - In my family, we call that the swish because it doesn't touch the sides. - I hope no one's eating during this episode.

- It's like, yo, I just did a swish right there, man. - You don't need a fucking bidet after you did that fucking swish, man. - I mean, I still like it though. I still do it anyway because it feels good. - To me, that is like the equivalent, right? Of coming to Japan and just being like, yeah, man, I just ate only KFC and Burger King. It's like, you've wasted the true potential of Japan. Like, what have you done? Like, it is on par, honestly, with food to me about Japan. Like, food's amazing and the shitting experience is also godlike.

I actually look forward to taking a shit. I can't wait to crack open the bidet and just feel amazing. - Crack open the bidet with the boys. - Crack open the bidet, you know, and just have a great fucking time.

- Yeah. - You shit for pleasure. - Honestly, I do. Honestly, I used to shit because it was a bodily function. Now I look forward to my shits. 'Cause it's Japan and they figured out how to make shitting an enjoyable experience. - I mean, I look forward to shitting for like other reasons. Like the bidet is just like not one of them. - What's the other reason? That you have a warm ass? - Yeah, well, one, I have a warm ass and there's like two fucking sacred places for me. And one is the shower and the other one is when I'm taking a shit. - Right, no, probably.

Probably like my channel wouldn't exist if I couldn't shit or shower. Where the fuck am I gonna get my ideas from? - Are you having fucking existential crisis in the toilet? - Fuck yes I am. Who doesn't? Do you not? - No, because taking a shit for me is enjoyable. - Yeah, I have a great time. - That's the reason, like people think that I take such a long time to shit because I'm having like a mental breakdown time. No, I'm just having a fucking great time. I'm just like, why would I leave early when I'm having this much fun right here?

- It's so fun. - I fucking love shitting bidets are just, I don't know in Thailand we have like an even worse thing, which is like, it's like a self bidet, right? So in like most Southeast Asian countries, we don't have like the auto on your ass bidets. We have like a little, like a shower head, like a mini shower head that you have to like put between your legs. - Some European countries have that too, right? - Yeah. - With the little bowl, the thing that like the little bowl next to it or you do it in the toilet.

- It's like the little bolting ball. - In the toilet itself. - Oh, okay. - And at that point, I don't know, I've always hated that feeling 'cause then you just get wet balls. - That's too much because the bidet is precise with where it's aimed, right? And when you've used your own bidet long enough, you know where to aim. - The bidet is like sniping your ass off. - Yeah, you know where to aim your cheek. - You know where it's gonna go, yeah. - And you know the radius of which it'll spray. - Yeah, yeah. - So you've got it down to an arm, right? - Oh my God.

- We talked about fucking- - How long have we been talking about this? - Showering our assholes. - I've always wanted to talk about it on the podcast 'cause it's one of the, no joke, the most enjoyable parts of Japan. - I know what to call this episode now, the Japanese toilet experience. The shitting Japanese experience. - I know where golden recum experience comes from now. It's when you're on the fucking toilet.

- Did you get like, were you a bit like worried when you first saw how to operate the bidet when you first came to Japan? - Yeah, I think a lot of British people are. 'Cause it's like the thought of spraying your ass is so foreign to us. - Yeah. - Also I think that you and Alan did again the first time you went to the fucking hotel bidet. - We were curious at how the bidet knew when you were sitting on it. - Yeah. - So the bathroom was like a wet room. So we were like, okay, well it doesn't matter if this bidet sprays everywhere.

So we had like a few drinks. We were like, let's figure out how the bidet works. So we figured out the bidet won't spray unless there's pressure on the seat. It was pretty fucking cool. Yeah, and then it was like spraying on the wall 'cause no one was sitting on it. - You were just like pushing it. - Bro, this thing was going far. It was spraying on the wall. It was crazy. - That's the pressure that goes up your asshole, man. - And that's what I want going on my ass. - That's the pressure that goes up your fucking asshole. - I have a traumatic story of, 'cause in our house in Australia, we always had a bidet 'cause my mom was like, I can't live without a bidet.

- Because she's Japanese and she shit like a king. Why would you go back to shitting like a peasant? - She's like, let me teach you. Let me teach you Australians how to shit like a king. So we had it in our house. But of course, when I was little, I didn't use the bidet, right? Because I didn't know what the fuck it was. I was just like, ooh, buttons. But I didn't fucking press any of them. I remember first time seeing a bidet and I'm just like, yo, do I need a license to operate this shit?

- I feel like if I press the wrong button, like this toilet's gonna take off. - Here is like the fucking operating system of the bidet that you can see on screen right now. Especially like going to Japan the first time and it's all in the different languages. - But basically like when I was little, like I never knew how to use the bidet, right? 'Cause I always just learned to like, just make sure to wipe and wash your hands and then you'll be good. But you know, when you get to like around like age six or seven, you start to get a little bit curious what these buttons are. You're just like, what?

I wonder what this is. So I did the fatal mistake though. So I pushed the bidet, like start bidet button. But I made the fatal mistake of getting up off my seat and looking down at the toilet bowl. - Oh no, spray you in the face. - So it fucking sprayed me in the eye. And there's just water going everywhere. And I'm like, I don't know how to stop this. What the fuck's happening? I actually thought I broke my toilet. So I called my mom and I'm just like, "Mom, come here." She came in, fucking bidet water going everywhere in this toilet. It's just like, what the fuck?

And then the last thing she said, like she finally stopped it and she's like, you could have at least like flush your shit man. I didn't have to see that. - But also the bidet water is also warm. So it is literally like a warm shower. - It is like a warm shower. - Only W's, only W's. And the thing is, right, is that, you know, if you're an American or you're just a Westerner in general and you come and you see this toilet, yeah, it can be daunting, right? 'Cause you know, normally things don't go near your ass. You're not used to that. Just embrace it. It feels good. You know, it's scary.

- But once you admit that things feel good when they spray your ass. - It's like discovering a new fetish. - Just give it a go. - It's like, yeah. Does it feel a little erotic? - It does, but you know, if it feels good,

The wet ass afterwards just doesn't feel good. - Just dry it, man. - Just dry it, man. - Then it doesn't feel clean. I don't know, my asshole doesn't feel properly clean unless I soap that shit. - I don't feel properly clean after a wipe. I feel like 90% clean after a wipe. 'Cause you know there's always gonna be a little bit left. You know that bidet is scraping that shit off. - It's like washing your hands without soap. It's like, you might feel clean, but you don't really until you use that soap.

- I know, I need to physically feel my asshole being clean and not like getting it washed. I don't know. I need to feel that shit, man. I need to confirm with my own hands. - Well, that's what you should do. You should use the bidet and then wipe it with your hand.

and see if it's still there. - No, because like, it doesn't feel properly clean to me unless I fucking shower. Like my asshole never feels clean unless I shower and I have properly soap in it. - This man's like wasting fucking buckets of water to clean his ass when he could just be using a bidet. - Look, you can never take too many showers. I love the feeling of taking a shower. - I'm pretty sure you can take too many showers. - I don't know. - Your skin is like natural oil that it needs and if you shower too much, you get rid of it, Colin.

- I don't know, like for me, I love the feeling, especially in summer when it's hot, just taking like a nice cold shower. - That's a little different though. That's a bit different. - But like even now in the winter, I take like three showers. Like I get a bit cold. - Really? Shower? - You take three showers? - Yeah, sometimes. - Why?

- No, no, no. - No wonder you don't fucking upload videos. You're always in the fucking shower. - Not like properly long showers. Just like sometimes I get a bit cold. Yeah, like I said, either I'm too stuffy or I'm too cold. So sometimes I can't be bothered to wait for the fucking heater to go on. Just pop in the shower.

get a bit of warm water in me, all right. I'm back up to warm. - This man spends more time in the shower thinking of ideas than actually committing to the ideas. - This man is not the clown, he is the whole circus. You know what's also fucked up as well about you Garnt? I hate to bully you this episode, but you don't use your bath at all, do you? You and Sydney don't take baths. - I don't either though.

- No, I mean, okay. I don't like taking a bath in like, it feels like I'm in like a prison cell bath. You know what I mean? I feel like I'm taking like, okay. So Japanese baths are fucking tiny. - They're not bad. Yours isn't that bad. You can sit in there. - Okay, if I can't stretch my legs out in the bath, then it's not even a bath to me. - Well, I don't even stretch them out fully. - It's a glorified sink in that place. - No.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. The point is you have to take a bath like this. You do the fucking- - It's not that bad. - The L- - You do the fucking L position? - No. - And I'm like, okay. - It's not that bad. - I take like, I would say 90% baths, 10% showers. - Really? - No, no. - Yeah, honestly, honestly. Because in Japan, right?

The best thing is, is that you can like reserve your bath. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - As it says. Which is like, if you know what time you're waking up, you can set the bath to be full and hot by that time. Which why the fuck do we not have this in any- - It's the biggest brain move. - Like, would they have like fucking NASA in the US, but they haven't figured out how to fucking schedule a bath?

Like I know what time I'm gonna wake up. I know what time I need to be in that bathtub. Why can I not do this basic fucking function? And then also you have one button, like it's in the UK, right? What you have to do is turn the tap on and keep checking on it every five minutes. Pain in the ass. In Japan, there's one button that fills it up to the perfect amount or the amount you set at the exact temperature that you set. This is the fucking future, man.

- Why wouldn't I take a bath every day? - I just feel like for me, baths are just not ergonomically designed for me. 'Cause like, I feel like I'm too tall to properly appreciate a good bath, right? You're not that much taller than Connor. - You're not that much taller than me. - Okay, 'cause like, I love onsens, right? The reasons I love onsens is I'm submerged in water and I'm in a comfortable position. I can never get in a comfortable position in any of,

in any of the baths I've like ever owned in my life. 'Cause here's the issue, right? So I wanna stretch my legs out, but then my body is above the water. So you go submerge yourself and then you unsubmerge and then your body just gets cold, right? - Peak bath position, right? Is like the water's up to like here. - Yeah. - Your arms are out of the tub. You're maybe watching something there. Like that's the best. Maybe got a beer as well. - 'Cause then your upper body is like cold.

- It's the perfect temperature control because your head is like free. You've got this bit getting cold and then you've got the rest of your body boiling. - Also because the bath water is so hot, the steam from the hot water makes the room warm as well.

I feel like you just haven't given baths the true shot they deserve Garnt. And in Japan, again, you're wasting another potential of Japan, which is how fucking good the baths are. - No, the baths are way too small. I don't wanna be sitting. If my legs are curled, then that's not a bath to me.

- You're not fucking daddy long legs in this bitch. You're not that much taller. - Next time I'm going to your house- - Baths are meant to be relaxing. I need to be in a comfortable position to be in a relaxed. - I don't fucking believe you. - That's why I love onsens and I just don't take baths. Showers to me are just more relaxing. - I don't believe you. Next time I go to your house, I'm forcing you to get in the bath with your clothes on. Just sit there. I wanna judge this position. That's bullshit. I don't believe you.

- Yeah, we have one in the studio. Go in this one. - Okay, well after this episode- - That one's tiny as well. That one's too- - That one is actually smaller than normal, but we'll get Garnt in there and we'll look at what's going on. We'll post a screenshot. - The other thing, the only times I've had baths is in my home in England. And I don't know, the way... When you're in a bath, do you put your legs

towards the tap or do you put like your back towards the tap? - Legs towards the tap always. - Legs towards the tap. - What animal puts their back towards the tap? - Because the tap is always like, I don't know. I always have like, I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes,

Sometimes I like accidentally hit the tap and it's either too hot or too cold. And it just like ruins the entire vibe for me. - You want the legs there? 'Cause like you don't wanna burn your back. - I've actually done that before. And I think that's just, I don't think that's just completely putting me off. - You are a clown. - Also I saw your bath at your parents' house. It wasn't that nice. Come on Garnt, come on. You can do better than that.

- I mean, even if I'm in a fucking nice hotel, I'm like, I don't take it. - Bro, there's nothing better than a hotel that is a big ass bed. - Yeah, I agree. That's like the only time where I'm exclusively like fuck showers, I'm going in that bar. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, always, always, always. - Also, I like the feeling of just having like water, like spraying on you. I don't know, it's just like a nice zen feeling. - Well then go out into the rain. - Honestly, okay, honestly, like,

- Rain in Southeast Asia is fucking great. Okay, 'cause when we think of rain, we think of like cold fucking depressing British rain that just fucking, it's like God blew a fucking raspberry on you and I hate that feeling, right?

But in Thailand, when it rains, it fucking pours. And it's probably like, and it's warm as well. It's like taking a warm shower. - Doesn't it feel like you're just getting pissed on? - Yeah, also it's so fucking humid 'cause it was doing that in Japan, this summer it was raining and it was like deceiving 'cause I'm like, finally I'll be cold. But no, it was just more fucking heat directly applied to my skin. - That's what I hated about when I went to the Philippines for the first time and it was like

So it wasn't even like properly hot yet. But because this is Southeast Asia, it's still fucking hot in May. And the moment I got outside, my hair just fucking turned into an Afro because of the amount of humidity. And then there was a pool where we were staying. So I was like, oh, thank God I can finally jump in the pool and I'll cool myself off. No, because it was so fucking humid outside, it was like walking into a fucking puddle of piss. Like it was horrible. I was like, I like heated pools,

and I like regular pools, but the temperature of this pool is like halfway in between of that. And it was just like lukewarm kind of water. - That makes you feel like someone's shitting it. - Yeah, right? It doesn't make the water feel clean. - It's like perfect bacteria temperature. It makes you feel real gross. - Exactly. - Bro, that's why cold showers are like fucking amazing. - They're good. - They are amazing. - I mean, that's why when I used to swim in public pools, the best ones were like the ones that are initially cold, but you get warm as you swim. - Exactly, yeah. - Because that's like nice. 'Cause then it also forces you to keep swimming.

- Yeah. - And you don't get too comfortable. - That's the ones where you're just like, you feel the water and you're like, "Oh, that's cold." But I'm just gonna commit and just fully jump in and submerge my body all at once. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And then you're fine after that. - Yeah, yeah. I'm like this. I can't believe you're just an animal, Con.

- You can take the peasant out of Thailand, but you can't take the peasant, sorry, sorry, the Thailand peasant. Fuck, I messed that up. - I have the superior taste. - Mr. Don't eat crust. - I just want to exist happily. You know what I mean? That's all I wanna do. - I want you to exist correctly Garth. I want you to use the bidet when you can, and I want you to take a bath every night. Treat yourself Garth. - Yeah, treat yourself. - Come on man. - You're better than that. - I don't want a wet fucking ass.

- You don't have to be, wipe. That's what toilet paper was invented for. - Then I don't want wet fucking fingers after I wipe. That's just. - Are you pouring your ass out with your bare hands? What are you doing? - Maylene, your hands don't get wet when you use a bidet, do they? - It is disgusting, that's why I hate it.

- I am using toilet paper. - He's just using his hands. - He's using the heat of friction to warm his ass back up to evaporate the water off his cheeks. What are you doing Garnt? - His ass cheeks are like- - Okay, you know what? I wanna watch you shit after this. I wanna see what you're doing. I need to judge your technique. You're doing it all wrong. - Just fucking do it. I'm ready. Shit review, let's go. - Can we get a GoPro inside of the toilet bowl and see what's going on? - Yeah, I wanted the day camp just to see. - I need to see what's going on. I need to see what you're doing in this fucking bowl, Garnt. - Next special.

- The bidet special. - The bidet special. Will Garnt be able to learn how to use a bidet correctly? - Needless to say, I am 100% bringing back a bidet if I have a half-sleeve. - I am bringing back a kotatsu. That is, I'm bringing back a heated toilet seat and a kotatsu. - Well, you don't need the table. You can just get the heated element, right? And screw it on. It's just a box that makes heat. It's basically a-

- No, 'cause you need like the heated element, you need like the table and you need like the cover on top of the table to like place the blanket. - Yeah, because the good thing about a cortas is that in the summer you can still use it because all you have to do is just take the sheet off and then it turns back into a regular table. - Oh, okay. - So it's like a specially made table, yeah.

- Kotatsu's a bomb. - Kotatsu's are like the best thing in Japan. - No, best? - One of the best things. - He did Tora Cicero good. - Bajay, all my homies love Bajay. - He did Tora Cicero a close second. - I'm on team Bajay in this instance, I think. I love my Kotatsu, but man, there's nothing more disgusting than a gross asshole.

- I'm saying it right there. - How dirty is your, I don't even want to imagine. - Maybe you guys are just shitting wrong. - No, we're not shitting wrong, Garnt. - What's the wrong way of shitting? Like what, shitting on the wall? - How is it wrong if I have a great time, I end up perfectly clean, I'm very happy and my ass is wet. I'm doing it the right way as far as I'm concerned. - Yeah, you're shitting wrong if you end up with a fucking swampy asshole. - Garnt's like instructions unclear, adopted a child. Like what's going, what are you doing on this toilet, man? Like sort your fucking life out, bro.

- I'm thinking of fucking bomb ass videos in the toilet and in the shower as well. - Clearly not thinking about personal hygiene or staying dry. - I am very happy with my personal hygiene. - Man, I have a poopy asshole, but I got a great video idea. - That's exactly it, man. That's exactly it.

- That's like literally stinky poopoo. - Uh-oh, stinky. But hey, look at all these lovely patrons who are helping to support the show. These patrons are Team Bidet. - A question to you patrons this time, right? So I did that little reference 'cause Garnt loves to say that. That's the joke. - Question to you.

- We boys, we'd like to do a tour or something in the US. - Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that, don't we? - Would you guys be interested in us maybe doing Trash Taste Live across the US? Would that be something that maybe- - It's just a very brief idea, of course. We can't do it now because of the state of the world, but- - But maybe in like a year or something.

- Yeah, whenever the US gets its shit back together, I think, we'll definitely be open to that idea. But are you guys open to that idea is more of the question. So I guess let us know. - Yeah, we wanna gauge interest if that's something you guys wanna do. - So definitely let us know. And if you'd like to support the show, then of course go over to patreon.com/trashtaste. Also follow us on Twitter, check out our subreddit, give us some memes and listen to us on Spotify if you don't wanna see our faces.

But yeah, but why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you? - I want you to see in H, no 4K, sorry. Me shouting at Garnt about him being- - About having a poopy butthole. - About our shitting technique, which I can't believe that we've,

- You are literally like fucking gone pre-men when you shit. And I'm like Netero with all my eight hands slapping this like my ass clean, dude. You are like so inferior, you can't even fathom the level that I am on. That's all I'm gonna say. Thank you for watching this episode of "Trash Taste." - Yeah, hopefully you guys enjoyed it. I promise our conversations will be a lot nicer. - I hope you didn't eat this with dinner. I really hope. - If you're eating this with food, I'm sorry. - We should probably have a warning at the beginning.

- No, no, no. You're gonna understand. - You know what you're getting into. It's trash days. We talk about anything. - All right, see you guys next week. - Goodbye, guys. - See you later. - Bye. - Bye.
