Funny / Trash Taste

When some of the funniest minds in anitube business come together, hilarity is bound to happen.

---

Season One

Episode 4: How to NOT Buy Anime Figures

• One of the overarching challenges was that whoever bought the most mainstream figure would lose a point, and Garnt's challenges in the first store they visited were to buy a Deku figure and to ask a clerk in Japanese to recommend a figure. He does get a Deku Nendoroid...and gets recommended an Edward Elric Nendoroid. Thus, he's doubly screwed^note although Connor would end up losing that point due to having an Attack on Titan figure in his haul. Making this even funnier is that Garnt hasn't seen FMA yet.

Episode 8: We Don't Understand Anime Games

• They end up discussing the Story to Gameplay Ratio and Connor is FAR on the "gameplay" end of the scale, having no patience for story and cutscenes in the games he plays. This behaviour and thought process was since nicknamed the "monkey brain" moment, and became a Running Gag across the podcast.
• When they get to the topic of Fate/stay night, they slowly lose their minds while trying to summarize the plot. Garnt even struggles with trying not to reference an old video where he did try to (poorly) summarize the Fate plot. They continue to lose their minds even more when confronted with the sheer number of Sabers in the franchise... and then Garnt tells them that Rin has numerous character clones, too.
  Connor: How many Rins are there?
  Garnt: I mean, there's—
  Connor: The fact that there's not a clear answer to this question is fucked up!
  Garnt: The fact that there's not as many Rins as there are Sabers—
  Connor: [thoroughly exasperated] WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THERE SHOULDN'T BE MORE THAN ONE!

Episode 11: Sitting Down with an Ex-Japanese 𝒫ó𝓇𝓃𝓈𝓉à𝓇 (ft. Shibuya Kaho)

• Joey describes his less-than-stellar experience in a maid cafe, and how he had to play along with casting a spell on his lukewarm dish.
  I don't need a spell, I need a microwave!

Episode 12: College Horror Stories

• Connor slowly losing his composure as he describes the (not-very-appetizing) escalation of conflict between two student houses.
  • This story also involves an incredibly snobbish dorm-mate who unironically calls people "peasants," which would go on to become a Running Gag of his across the rest of the podcast.
  • The odd emphasis Connor places on the word "bungalow."

Chess Tournament Arc

• In the prelude the boys comment that their inexperience will lead to some very unexpected moves and blunders that you'd never expect to see in higher-ranked games. They describe it as "a movable object meets a stoppable force."
• As Garnt savors his 2-0 against Mother's Basement, he delivers a sick burn.
  Garnt: This win was so free I didn't even have to use coupon code "BASEMENT."
• Dee misses a forced mate in two, but takes comfort in his board advantage and that "[he hasn't] fucked up royally." Joey checkmates him on the very next move.

Episode 15: The REAL Japanese Nightlife

• When discussing clubbing, Garnt recalls one time when he went clubbing with Connor and two other friends. Connor's already really drunk, but somehow they manage to get him into the bar. They look away for a few seconds and then realize that Connor's not in their company. They find him on the dance floor, standing bent at a 90-degree angle, before he starts Fortnite dancing. They get kicked out, manage to get into another bar, and the same thing happens again.
  Garnt: [...] We go to order our drinks, and, so, I'm here with two of my mates, and we each order our drink, and then we look around... and Connor's just not there. And we're like "Wait... If you're not with Connor, and you're not with Connor, and I'm not with Connor, then where the fuck's Connor?!"

Episode 16: The WORST Fandoms in Anime

• The main focus of the episode is the boys roasting the Fan Dumb of various popular anime. From Dragon Ball to My Hero Academia to Jojos Bizarre Adventure, nobody was spared. The Highlights of this episode that clip these moments are all titled "[Anime] Fandom is the WORST" before the last Highlight summarizes everything with "Every Anime Fandom is the WORST."

Episode 17: The Japanese Food You've Never Tried

• The discussion of hamburg steaks sparks the first truly hot debate on the podcast. Connor considers it an affront to humanity and values the synergy of the ingredients that, collectively, "strike slightly moderately." Garnt and Joey like it at moments when they just want to eat some meat. Then, Joey brings up that he dislikes steak and Garnt loses his mind. There's a reason why it's known as "The Great Burger Debate."

Episode 23: We Met a REAL Virtual Youtuber (ft. Mori Calliope)

• Calli self-censors as usual, but the boys reassure her that it's okay for her to swear on this podcast. She's delighted, and the boys get excited for her to finally swear. After a little wind-up, she admits she can't do it on command. See an artist's rendition of the moment here. Note that this marks the point where she warms up and becomes more natural for the rest of the podcast.
• Calliope outlines the plot of Mad Father, starting with "a girl who lives in a mansion with her mad dad, and he does weird stuff in the basement." Garnt quickly does an Eye Take to this line and goes "I don't like where this is going..." Calli elaborates that the girl's mother has passed away and she's living in the mansion with her dad and his mistress and "they're doing weird stuff in the basement that isn't what you think is going on." Garnt's still making awkward glances of concern until Calli reaches the plot point where the mansion is cursed.

Episode 25: The ℌệ𝔫𝔱ằ𝔦 Episode

• Joey and Garnt clown on Connor for:
  • His picks in general, as they're the most tame and "vanilla" of the three of them.
  • Calling one of the characters in Joey's first pick a loli when she's very obviously not.
  • Preferring his hentai to have worse animation and artwork than the normal anime he watches.
  • Refusing to read doujinshis because he doesn't want to turn pages while he's occupied.
    Connor: Why the fuck would I physically turn a page?! [...] That's why I Chromecast my hentai.
• The three of them go off on Queen Bee for wrecking titles with an interesting premise with subpar animation.
• The entire discussion about Kuroinu. Joey and Garnt both enjoy it because it's such a trainwreck; Joey calls it "The Room of hentai" and Garnt describes it as being so over-the-top and outrageous that it somehow loops back around from offensive to hot. Connor, on the other hand, finds it utterly vile and can't understand how Joey and Garnt can find anything about it hot. Specific moments:
  • Joey and Garnt high-fiving after Garnt says he wanted to do that when he saw the pick, and Joey saying that he chose it precisely to see Connor's reaction.
  • Garnt notes that the Villain Protagonist is basically an Expy of Guts before equating Kuroinu as the hentai adaptation of Berserk "with even more rape", which sends Joey into hysterics.
  • Connor going off on the orcs having disturbingly human-looking genitals instead of "gross orc dicks". When Joey says no one would want to see that, a baffled Connor points out the Insane Troll Logic behind this given that they're already watching a show about orcs gang-raping women.
  • Garnt recreating his bug-eyed, slack-jawed look of shock from the first time he watched it.
  • Connor moving the mic and putting his head in his hands for nearly a minute when Garnt says that the sex scenes of this hentai are epic; one shot of this is in the episode's thumbnail.
• The entirety of the Kansen Sodom segment; this sparks some hilarious discussions as it's as much an absurd comedy as it is a hentai. For bonus points, this is also where the legendary "Bang Bang Bang" clip was born.
  • Connor admits that he's managed to jack off to the one scene with the teacher, and Garnt and Joey are dumbfounded since they're too busy laughing at the rest of the episode to get in the mood to jack off.
    Connor: I felt like, after I watched it, I felt like I've nutted to Cars 2.

Episode 28: Are Online Friends REAL Friends?

• While they were discussing job interviews, Garnt recounts an experience where he interviewed to apply for a missile company. Part of the interview involved explaining how a missile works, and he drew a diagram to demonstrate how. Midway through, he noticed one of the interviewers struggling to contain his laughter, and when he glanced back at his diagram, he noticed that he'd effectively drawn a penis. This embarrassed him enough that his composure slipped and he eventually failed the interview.

Episode 30: A Very Drunk Start to the New Year (ft. Abroad in Japan)

• Connor suffering through Chris's alcohol selection while the others get more and more wasted.
  Garnt: I'll be honest lads: this sake's hitting and I don't know why.
• While talking about New Year's Resolutions, Connor brings up a "chicken and broccoli" diet that he's tried to lose weight with and they all laugh at how horribly boring it would get. Connor also brings up that he's done it so much and with so little variation that his roommate would get frustrated whenever it's Connor's turn to cook. When Chris brings up that the one diet food he makes well is omelettes, they start laughing about that, and then the gags crash when Connor suggests chicken and broccoli to go with the omelette. Connor later mentions wanting to do a collab with Chris but he had no idea what would make appropriate content, to which Chris suggests a cooking collab — chicken and broccoli with omelettes, on a channel titled "Abroad in a Pan."

Episode 32: We Don't Know How to Poop

• Connor giving an impromptu marketing spiel about Dyson vacuums, and in particular, his word choices.
  Connor: You know that one piece in the carpet that doesn't come off? Dyson never has an issue in getting that one crumb out of the carpet. That shit always comes out — cause the normal vacuums never get that shit out. Like, there's always that one fucking thing that for some reason won't come out and you got to fucking—
  Joey: It's just like, clinging on to the carpet until you lie for it.
  Connor: Yeah, 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 a budget dog, like "here you go, take it, take it." 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.
  Joey: *laughing* Okay...
  Connor: Yeah. That's how I can sell it to you: you will never have to bend over.
  [Connor realizes near the end and starts laughing, with Garnt joining in]

Episode 33: We're Too Addicted to Gacha Games

• Connor expresses his discomfort with fleshlights by describing them like "Donkey Kong's lips."

Episode 34: Roasting Our Horrible Anime Tastes

• The episode opens with a great revelation: That it's actually going to be about anime.

Episode 45: Roasting our Terrible Taste in Games

• Garnt talks about Gears of War 2 being one of his favorite games, but for a slightly unexpected reason.
  Connor: Gears of War 2 was probably the first game where I was like "woah, video games can make me sad."
  Garnt: *confused* Wait, what?
  Connor and Joey: The story.
  Garnt: Oh, no, I didn't give a shit about the story. *Joey starts laughing.*
  Connor: The story is so good.
  Garnt: I don't think I even finished the—
  Connor: What the—wh—are we swapping?

Episode 48: Do We Drink Too Much??

• One of Connor's brothers sending their parents Carolina Reaper peppers to cook with without properly warning them^note Connor has repeatedly stated that his parents cannot handle spicy food and consider paprika to be spicy., and they all get used in a batch of stir fry. Connor eats first and tries to warn his parents but they don't believe him. His dad comes next and is incapacitated. Finally, Connor's mom eats it.
  Garnt: "Just bants innit?"
  Connor: "Just banter innit?" Casually kill mum and dad.

Episode 50: The Trash Taste Awards

• The cast has been introducing themselves as "the boys," but this time, they're all dressed up in formal attire, calling themselves "the gentlemen".
• Due to a typo in the Reddit post calling for nominations, the event is named the Trash Taste Awardw.
• One of the nominations are for "The Most Monkey Moment," for incredible Dumb Muscle or ditzy moments. True to form, three of the five top nominations are Connor moments.
  • Somehow Joey's GPU moment was the one that won this. And he took it in stride.
    Garnt: These ones are like, monkey moments, but I think you like literally regressed in evolution when you did this, Joey.
    *Joey laughs*
    Joey: *points to the Connor moments* This is like, temporary monkey, *points to his GPU moment* this is like 5 years' monkey.
• Connor reading who won the "Biggest Clown" award.
  Connor: Ah, for fucks sake.
  • The fact that the candidates are more or less all the main cast and everyone's got unflattering photos.
  • Connor won this one by a landslide at 58%.
• Nominees for "Best Out of Context Clip" are all played without any prior commentary. And the first is Garnt's memetic "bang bang bang" clip just to set the tone for the segment. (It's not the winner.)
• The award for "Laziest Drip" goes to the one with the least variation in outfits. The main trio are on it, but Chris Broad somehow won this one, despite being on the show for all of two episodes and getting removed from the initial voting!
  • Even better was that Chris won this one by a landslide as well, at 50.8%, not far from Connor's win above!

Season Two

Episode 52: We Can't Stop Giving Bad Opinions

• The episode starts with the boys discussing furniture. Connor declares that he's finally getting rid of his cockroach-infested washing machine and replacing it with one from the studio. Joey and Garnt get into a big misunderstanding, thinking he's replacing his fridge with Joey's own fridge.^note Joey most likely misheard "this studio" as "this dude," and the tissue distraction didn't help. Turns out that while Connor never explicitly stated his washing machine had cockroaches, he didn't trust that it didn't as it came in as a package deal with the cockroach-infested fridge.
  Connor: I'm taking a page out of my ancestors' book and just taking things!
• Garnt recounts his first experience with cockroaches. This experience is in Thailand, where the cockroaches can become pretty big. He hears Sydney screaming, enters the kitchen, and discovers a cockroach. He picks up a cockroach spray and goes in to deal with it, only to discover two things: cockroaches are astoundingly hardy, and they can fly. The cockroach begins freaking out and flies onto Garnt's chest, causing him to scream and bail out of the kitchen, tightly shutting the door behind him. He even considers just torching the room to take it out as they continue to hear it buzz about into the night.
• While discussing Nutella and other bread spreads, Joey comes up with a very strange phrase - "viscous breakfast spread." Garnt and Connor start laughing over this odd combination of words.
• Joey reveals that he simply bites into a block of Kitkat to the disgust of the other two boys, who prefer to snap the block into individual bars before eating. When they shift the topic of discussion to Toblerones, they detail how its shape is designed to be conducive to snapping off the individual triangles, "like a Kitkat." Joey retorts that he has enough sense to snap off individual Toblerone triangles and not just "deepthroat the whole thing."

Episode 53: We Read The WORST ℌệ𝔫𝔱ằ𝔦 Doujins

• Connor starts by laying out that he doesn't read hentai. Joey corrects him: He doesn't read at all.
• The first doujin they discuss is Dorei Usagi to Anthony, and they riff on how fast things escalate across the whole story with its back-to-back twists and reveals. It's got so many elements crammed into it that Joey describes it as "the doujin with every tag." Joey admits that he picked this doujin because the writer is known for his ridiculous stories which are great for eliciting reactions from the boys, though his claim that this is one of the least ridiculous ones is an evaluation that Garnt contests.
• In the middle of the discussion Connor brings up how rare the really good "vanilla" hentai is, because most of the rest of what he finds is repulsive, specifically mentioning netorare, a tag that they all hate. Garnt brings up that there's someone out there into that kind of stuff. Connor realizes who: "SYDNEY?!"
• Garnt extrapolates from that point to discern whether Parental Incest or Brother–Sister Incest also qualifies under "vanilla," and Connor goes on a slight tangent where he expresses his astonishment at the sheer amount of stepmother porn lately. They then get Meilyne and Ashley to verify this by searching Pornhub themselves. A little while later, when verifying the most popular porn categories:
  Garnt: Ashley, you're literally looking on Pornhub, just search— *starts laughing* just search top Pornhub searches—
  Joey: Ashley, your boss is sitting right next to you and you're on Pornhub.
  Ashley: She told me to do it.
  Garnt: Meilyne! Stop corrupting Ashley like this!
• While discussing Kyoushi to Seito to Connor gives his props to the protagonist for reacting sensibly and declining the teacher's advances, even if, due to it being a doujin, them having sex is an inevitability. To quote his notes, "I'm calling HR, how did this woman get this job?" That said, the boys all commend the good plot buildup throughout, until the story abruptly veers into a sideplot with incestuous side characters, which not only exasperates Connor but also leaves Garnt dissatisfied since that tangent didn't contribute to the overall plot.
• They cap it off with discussing the infamous Metamorphosis, and talk about how it gets so over-the-top with Saki's misery that Connor couldn't continue to engage. Meanwhile, Garnt calls it a "masterpiece" which leaves Connor incredulous.

Episode 55: Welcome to Trash Taste Season 2

• Connor brings up a recurring Bible story from his school, which was intended to teach the moral that you will be rewarded for choosing your faith over other material temptations, but had a poor implementation (the choice is between the Bible or five pounds, with the reward of ten pounds being hidden in the Bible). Even young Connor could see how it's a nonsensical story by applying Fridge Logic to it, and how the moral can get misinterpreted as "There's always 10 pounds hidden in the Bible." It's so recurrent in his neighborhood that one time, when a sub-headmaster was re-enacting the story with props, the first kid he approaches skips the Rule of Three framework and goes straight for the Bible, throwing off the story's pacing.

Episode 56: 100 WAYS TO DIE IN JAPAN (ft. Abroad in Japan)

• Chris comes and collects his prizes from the Awardw: "Best Guest" and "Laziest Drip." For one who was voted "Laziest Drip," he comes in sporting a backwards cap and fashion that looks like it's from the 90s. When he unveils his prize, it's a plaque featuring a fan comic involving the cast, with Chris front and center as a massively obese man. Everyone's reaction when he realizes it is incredible.
• Chris demonstrates how out of touch he is with the times by giving us an amalgamation of titles: "Apex: Raid of Shadows."
  Connor: Are you trying to be a boomer on purpose?

Episode 64: We Hate Our Fans

• They talk about how vitriolic some fans get when their subject of passion gets slighted. Garnt tries to make an example using the shonen community — nobody bats an eyelid if he, for example, says "I prefer Re:Zero to No Game No Life" but the fans instantly get up in arms if he would say "I prefer My Hero Academia to Jujutsu Kaisen." Thing is, as he tries to lay out his shonen example, he repeatedly stumbles over saying Demon Slayer before switching the titles he's using. Joey jokes that the example is so controversial his brain is intentionally preventing him from saying it out loud.
  
  The gag comes back for a moment when Connor stumbles over the phrase "chasing trends."

Episode 65: We CANNOT Stop Arguing

• A discussion about toilet breaks leads to Garnt being shocked that both Connor and Joey occasionally sit to pee, which then leads to them clowning on Garnt for his lengthy stays on the toilet to take a shit.
• The Great Chicken Debate. The boys all start talking about how wagyu beef is overrated, then segue to a discussion about fried chicken, which leads Connor to ask: "Boneless or bone-in?" He and Joey choose boneless while Garnt chooses bone-in. The ensuing argument between Garnt and Connor about which is better is even more heated than the burger argument, with both adamantly holding their ground; about the only thing they agree on is that chicken nuggets do not qualify as boneless chicken. Making things even worse (and, of course, funnier) is that both of their arguments are in some ways factually incorrect, and Connor ends up finding this out by Googling to try to get support for his take. Joey, in the meantime, starts out chiming in to back up Connor but eventually just gives up and lets them spew; the pic of him in the episode's thumbnail is the "I can't believe what I'm listening to" expression he makes at one point. Once everything has pretty much calmed down, he lampshades the silliness of the whole thing, noting how the episode started calmly then devolved into one of the most stress-inducing and stupid arguments ever on the show.
  Joey: Audio-only listeners, you may want to tune into the YouTube version of this to see two men melting down over poultry.

Episode 66: We Got SCAMMED

• They go on a tangent on things that become canon and talk about how J. K. Rowling tends to add details to the worldbuilding of Harry Potter that cross into Too Much Information. One such detail being discussed is how "wizards relieved themselves wherever they were and then vanished the evidence." Connor catches on to the vague implications of this tweet and then starts to rant about the finer points of wizard hygiene, and then extrapolates from the control of bodily fluids to whether they can use the same abilities for emergency contraception. Garnt and Joey come up with an impromptu spell "Fetus Deletus" for this situation and start laughing uncontrollably while Connor continues to rant. After Garnt recovers from his laughing fit he admits that he wasn't actually listening.

Episode 68: The Dark World of Chris Chan

• The episode is about Chris — that is, Chris the creator of Sonichu, not Chris from Abroad In Japan. Judging from comments in the podcast and its highlights, some viewers confused the two and got momentarily worried about an unknown dark side to Chris Broad.

Episode 71: WE ARE PRIVILEGED

• Connor is exhausted by the sheer amount of "sleazebaiting" videos on Tiktok that are being upvoted by horny users, when he's far more interested in memes or humor. When he expresses his frustration:
  Connor: I don't want to see, like, women, or... *laughing* That sounds so bad!
• A discussion about nasty bathrooms ends with Garnt finally revealing why he doesn't care for bidets—he's scarred by childhood memories of what passes for bidets in Southeast Asia: a hose with a sink sprayer attachment connected to the toilet tank, which the person sticks into the bowl to spray their backside.

Episode 74: The VTuber Rap God Returns

• Calli recalls the one time she did a "staring contest" stream and provides a live Dramatic Reading of the "Club Penguin is Kill" copypasta. Everyone was laughing by the end.
• Calli talks about Jump King and Garnt is clueless about it as the other boys talk over him. When he gets a word in edgewise, they lay out what it entails:
  Connor: Garnt, take a wild guess what you do in Jump King!
  Joey: You're a king, and you jump!!
• At the end of the episode, Garnt asks Mori if she prefers boneless or bone-in chicken, and declares his friendship with VTubers to be over when she picks boneless.

Episode 75: We Live in a Society

• The episode's opening discussion about issues plaguing the current anime industry has the title phrase used a couple of times... and then Joey can't seem to stop himself from saying "society" as the episode goes on.

Episode 76: We Don't Understand Public Holidays

• Connor tries to bring back the "we live in a society" gag, but Garnt calls him out on it being a week old at that point.
• Joey talking about egging houses one Halloween with a friend has Garnt almost in tears, partly because he just nonchalantly admits it and partly because, rather than egging the houses of people who refused to give them candy, he walked into the middle of the street and just started strafing houses with eggs.

Episode 79: THE ANIME FIGURE SPECIAL

See Garnt's perspective, Joey's perspective, Connor's perspective on their challenges, and here for the final score tally. Moments will draw from both the Episode proper, each of the boys' experiences, and the conclusion.

---

• Garnt's first challenge: Get the most expensive anime figure you can find. He ends up blowing $550 on a Fate/stay night statue that didn't even end up being the most expensive figure in Rashinban.^note Garnt discovered a $700 Emilia figure that he opted not to buy, and Joey ended up finding a $935 figure of Ayachi Nene from Sabbat of the Witch.
• The boys get into arguments over semantics frequently — whether Goku Black counts as a separate character from Goku himself, whether Connor should take multiple penalties for buying many Dio figurines, etc.
• Garnt's camerawoman is his fiancé Sydney, who goes browsing hentai figures at nearly every opportunity. At the end of his challenge, when he's got leftover budget to spend, he finally relents and lets Sydney pick a hentai figure and you can hear her excitement.
• One of Joey's challenges is "a figure that can beat Goku," and he goes for Goku Black. Shortly after, Garnt brings out a figure he got on his own — an unpainted black Goku.
• One of Garnt's challenges at the AmiAmi store is to do a squat for each piece of Re:Zero merchandise he sees. Naturally, he gets quite the workout when confronted with an entire wall's worth of merch, and Connor doesn't hesitate in pointing out more merch for more squats.
• Joey's challenge is to purchase a figurine from an incestuous series and yell "I love incest!" and Garnt groans that he should've gotten that one instead. However, Joey is completely stumped at what counts as an incestuous series and turns to Garnt for advice. What comes out is something really sage-like but not completely helpful.
  Garnt: It's not about the incest anime, it's about the anime with incest in it. Incest is in the heart, it's not always shown out on the sleeve. Sometimes you gotta look within to find the incest. Just find a little sister, and see where that goes.
• Garnt spots an enormous airsoft rifle and decides to just purchase it to see the reaction it gets from the boys. In his video, while talking about it, he censors every instance of "gun" with his memetic "bang bang bang" clip.
• As Connor lost the challenge, he has to eat a durian. Joey volunteers to eat a piece along with him, and Garnt (the winner) flatly refuses due to hating the fruit as a result of having to grow up with the smell throughout childhood. Both of their reactions promptly sums up what a person's feelings is towards the spiky fruit, with Connor absolutely hating the taste of it and Joey surprisingly really loving the fruit.
  Connor: *visibly in distress* Oh, it tastes like poop in my mouth! AAAAAAHHHH!
  Garnt: *seeing the shit-eating grin on Joey' face* Don't, don't say it. Don't, don't say it, Joey. Don't say it. Don't say it, Joey. Don't say it! Don't say it, Joey! I swear to god!
  Joey: I really like it.
  Garnt is in disbelief while Meilyne, Ashley, and Nabi (in the background) are cheering

Episode 81: Our WORST Food Takes Yet

• Garnt comes face-to-face with a cockroach again, and given his previous experience with a cockroach in Thailand, he is terrified. After a night in fear of it, he sees it again and moves to hit it, only to notice that the cockroach is not as aggressive or fast as the last one he encountered. So he picks up the nearest object he can find to smack it — a breast mousepad — and smacks it silly, only to find that the cockroach is just stunned, so he flips the mousepad around and smacks it heavy-side down. Garnt ends the whole experience exhausted but disproportionately triumphant, to Sydney's confusion.
• The Great Pizza Debate starts with Connor and Joey arguing over American vs stone-baked pizzas and then spirals into a very intense debate that becomes a contender for the best argument. It also provided Garnt's "90% of bread tastes the same" hot take that immediately got the other two (and the viewers) to roast him.
  Joey: Are you saying a pretzel tastes the same as a baguette?
  Garnt: ...Is pretzel bread?
  Connor: WHAT, GARNT? WHAT?! YES, IT'S BREAD!
  ...
  Garnt: I'm gonna be honest, pretzel to me is a salted baguette.
  Connor: NO! NOOOOOOO!

We became Japan's WORST Michelin Star Chefs | Trash Taste Special

• Meilyne's grading leaves Connor really salty—he gets praised for a decent job but only gets a 6/10 for poor plating, while Garnt's rushed job also gets him a 6. This thoroughly angers Connor, and leads to Garnt getting the reputation of "Meilyne's favorite child." Months later, even in the 2nd Awardw, Connor refuses to let up on Meilyne over this.

Episode 83: Sitting Down with a Legendary Japanese Vtuber (ft. Kson)

• Right off the bat Kson establishes the Running Gag of mentioning poop with her gangster-like sitting posture.
  Kson: I can poop here anytime!
• Connor asks Kson if she's watched Jojo. She admits that she hasn't actually watched it (to which the boys jokingly ask to cancel the episode)... but then adds that she's seen the Rohan Kishibe spinoff, which has left the boys even more confused. After suggesting that she watch the main parts of Jojo, they joke about the proper watch order (as opposed to jumping in via a very confusing side story).
• While talking about mediocre conventions in the United Kingdom, Kson says "What doesn't suck in the UK?" This irritates Connor enough for him to jokingly leave his seat on the spot. Bear in mind that Connor has made numerous self-deprecating jokes about life in the UK.

Episode 86: We're Still An Anime Podcast

• A very literal "Monkey Moment": During a tangent about food they talk about bananas. Connor brings up "the perfect banana" and he goes into the history of bananas, how the original banana went extinct due to a plague, and how the artificial banana flavoring is trying to replicate it. He greatly enjoys banana-flavored things in pursuit of the "OG Banana experience." Ashley, offscreen, tells them that the "ancient banana" flavor is partially myth since nobody had actually eaten it before, while Connor gets passionately insistent on wanting to experience the "mythical banana."
  Garnt: Trash Taste — We've run out of food to argue about, let's argue about food that doesn't exist anymore!

Episode 87: OUR AWKWARD FAN STORIES

• They start off strong by covering how Joey "got cancelled" a few weeks back for putting forth a couple of takes that got the Fan Dumb up in arms: First, he said that Jujutsu Kaisen was OK and he preferred Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Second, he Tweeted that, after starting up the second season of Demon Slayer, he still found Zenitsu to be the worst character. He is a little incredulous that the fanbase is so trigger-happy that even finding a show "okay" is an insult, and that they'll go to any lengths to get angry at him. Getting a heads-up that he's "getting cancelled" from a fan only elicited a "Oh, what now?" reaction from him.
• A topic that comes up is how their names get mixed up, be it their online handles or their real-life names. Joey recalls times when people mistakenly call him "The Anime Guy" or "The Anime Dude," was quite irritated with the one time he was misnamed "Josh," but was quite amused at once being called "Joey the Anime Bazainger." Garnt, who has dealt with misnaming for a long time, is accustomed to "Grant" and occasionally "Garnet," but is astounded at "God."
• While talking about things that their parents brought them to that they hated as a child, Garnt recalls one time his mother brought him to a meditation session. The attendees were to meditate for a full hour, but seven-year-old Garnt only had the patience to do so for 15 minutes tops. So, to help the time pass, he decided to replay episodes of Pokémon in his head, which was easy to do since he's watched it repeatedly and practically memorized most of it. He ended up rewatching the pertinent parts of about one season of the anime from memory by end of the meditation session.

Episode 88: The Dream Episode

• Connor's very convoluted explanation of how he differentiates being sick from being ill due to food poisoning.

Episode 89: Animals We Could Beat in a Fight

• Connor tries to explain why deer scare him more than other animals that are a lot more dangerous. As usual, Joey and Garnt can't believe what they're hearing.

Episode 90: We Don't Understand Sports

• When talking about PE sessions outside school grounds, Joey recounts one time where he and his male classmates were all kayaking in a bay. They spot an attractive woman in a bikini looking over at them from the distance. One of them starts chanting "Tits! Out! For the boys! Tits out for the boys!" and the rest of them eventually start joining in. The woman eventually obliges, everyone cheers, the supervising teacher takes notice, and the class was heavily reprimanded afterwards.

Episode 98: Wedding Planning is an Absolute Nightmare

• The episode starts with Garnt recounting the marriage interview he sat through with the authorities. A lot of the questions posed to him are no-brainers, but they throw him a curveball: "Are you in any way related to Sydney?" He secretly begins freaking out given his history with incest plot light novels. A little clarification with the authorities later and they reveal that there's a surprising number of first cousins who try to get married in the UK.
  Garnt: ...and I just like, the fuckin' Oreimo music starts playing in my mind, like, yo, is this person a Gigguk fan?
  ...
  Garnt: ...They didn't just ask legally by blood, they were like "we include stepsiblings" and I was like, "It's Domestic Girlfriend all over again!"
• While discussing shows to watch, they talk about the anime adaptation of Spy X Family and Joey's relieved that, for once, the "waifu of the season," Yor, isn't a highschooler. Garnt also chimes in that she's a MILF, and Connor goes "I guess I'll have to check it out."
• The classic mention of poop this week: Connor's out in the country in his friend's Tesla. As they speed around the countryside while Connor's got his window down, they pass by a farming machine that sprays manure, right into everyone's faces and all across the Tesla's white seats. Everyone is freaking out, especially the friend who just cleaned out the car.

Episode 100: The 2nd Annual Trash Taste Awards

• The logo, again, reads "Trash Taste Awardw."
• Garnt starts by shouting out to the fridge/washing machine confusion, but this time with Mudan properly labeling what each of the boys was thinking of.
• First up is "Hot Take of the Year," two of which are anime takes: "Jujutsu Kaisen was okay" from Garnt and "86 EIGHTY-SIX was bad" from Connor. These caused such a big fan backlash that reminded them of how much of the audience is anime fans. The winner: Garnt's "90% of bread tastes the same," winning by a landslide at 66.9% of the votes.
• For "Best Out-Of-Context Clip," Garnt manages to get the top two spots. The actual winner is "Garnt Will Gladly be Racist," while second place really closely behind is "Garnt is Sad," which has formed the basis for the Dark Timeline meme collection. This makes Garnt winner of this award for both Awardw.
• "Best Screengrab" goes to "Connor Takes Off His Pants" but the boys note that it's missing the rest of the screenshot, where Garnt and Joey are intently leaning in to the table.
• "Most Degenerate Moment" gets two clips from the second Figure Special, where they reveal and discuss the lewd figures they've purchased. However, the winner is Meilyne's discussion about the taste of sweat from the Cooking Special, which won with 72% of the votes.
• "Saltiest Moment," for the biggest meltdowns, is entirely populated with moments from After Dark or Specials. The winner is "Connor Not Getting The Points From His Own Rules."
  Connor: I don't want the point, I just don't want Garnt to get the point!
• "Most Monke Moment" is won not by Connor this time, but by Garnt who got spooked by the steam off his own piss during the camping episode.
• "Biggest Clown," again, has everyone with the least flattering shots. Despite Garnt pitting out some of the worst takes this season, Connor wins again with 42.1% of the votes, beating Garnt at 33.1%. Connor's so angry about winning this for the second year in a row that Garnt suggests that this moment be the next Saltiest Moment nominee for the next Awardw.
• "Biggest Chad" goes to "cum," the biggest donor in the Charity Stream. They express their appreciation with a load of innuendo.
  Joey: Only on Trash Taste will you ever see a card that just says "cum."
• "Best Nickname" goes to Chris for "Mr. Affable" and the boys are a little frustrated that Chris is very likely to win more than one award. When Ashley gives the score breakdown, Garnt is relieved that Chris winning saved his "Little Baby Man" nickname from winning.
• "Best Meme" has two entries that have sprouted and perpetuated with zero involvement from the boys: "Chris is Ironmouse" and "The Dark Timeline." Naturally, the Dark Timeline brought forth a lot of discussion as it was recent and was so complex that it is on par with that of the Nasuverse. As Garnt puts it, "What the fuck?!" Of course, the Dark Timeline wins.
  Joey: Congratulations, Reddit, your fanfiction made it.
  Garnt: Hahah! Oh my god, it's a fanfic!
  Joey: Dude, it's literally a fanfiction. I'm not even joking.
  Garnt: Why do you gotta do them like that, Joey?
  Connor: It's so much more than that, Joey! It's a cohesive universe!
  Garnt: I didn't sacrifice the past for you to call it a fucking fanfiction!
  Joey: "I didn't die in an earthquake for you to call it a fanfiction!"
• Chris manages to win "Best Drip" for his "Chris in a hat" outfit he wore back in episode 56 as well as "Laziest Drip" the second year in the row for the exact same outfit. Connor is extremely pissed that he went out of his way to buy the Drip jacket that he can't wear comfortably for most of the year, only to come in second place for "Best Drip."
• "Best Argument" is won by "The Great Chicken Debate," and Garnt adds that while he and Connor shook hands over a consensus they went back to arguing almost immediately after.
• After Joey's "Sniffing Cat Poop" moment winning "Best Poop Moment," on top of another of his poop moments being the runner-up, the boys now have their titles: Garnt the Out-Of-Context Man, Connor the Biggest Clown, and Joey the Poop Man.
• The "I Made It the Fuck Up Award" goes to Joey, who claimed that "2021 was a bad year for anime" despite not having watched anime that year. This one won 46.9% of the votes!
• The boys don't want episode 56 (where Chris is involved) to win Episode of the Year because Chris would not shut up about winning an award if he wins anything.

Season Three

Episode 101: The Struggles of a Storytime Youtuber (ft. Emirichu)

• When discussing how to use mnemonics to memorize kanji, they come up with really silly ones that stick:
  • Emily is taught "わ for wasp," but she can't unsee Wario's fat butt. She also says how "ロ" looks like a Roblox head.
  • Connor brings up how "ぷ" looks like a stylized man running.
  • Garnt caps it off by remembering "安い" (yasui; cheap) with the mental image of Sydney finding a cheap purse and going "YAAAAS!"
• They eventually get to talking about Emily's taste in anime, and spend a good portion of the episode trying to pick her brain.
  • First up, she didn't quite like Jujutsu Kaisen as opposed to Spy X Family because she "gets stressed" from the tension in Jujutsu Kaisen despite the fact that it regularly winds down. When she states that CLANNAD is one of her favorite dramatic series, Garnt concludes that "she needs the slice-of-life content to build it up."
  • One of Emily's favorite series is Fruits Basket and Joey brings up a previous conclusion that he's reached in another collab, where she likes it "because Tohru is basically her."
  • When discussing Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica she states that she really enjoyed the Magical Girl aesthetic despite its dark content, and then admits that she'd be more invested in Jujutsu Kaisen if they were all in magical girl outfits.
  • After going through how she views Death Note and One-Punch Man, Garnt concludes that she doesn't like fights, even though One Punch Man has plenty of those. Joey reaches the conclusion that she can stomach fights if it's a Foregone Conclusion but that doesn't quite match given how most of shonen fights work like that. When Garnt talks about how Sydney doesn't like fights, Connor goes on to say "sex is like co-op fighting!"
  • She says that she doesn't like "gory stuff" like Attack on Titan despite having watched Higurashi: When They Cry. She tries to justify that she could handle it back in middle school, which Connor clowns on immediately.
  • Connor calls her out for not liking Re:Zero because "Subaru doesn't look interesting to her," while she's attached to the very plain Tohru from Fruits Basket. They later evaluate that Subaru is meant to be a boring, cringe protagonist and has to develop past this, and at several times he "literally dies of cringe" and they all crack up.
• When they talk about Jojos Bizarre Adventure Connor not just advises Emily to Watch It for the Meme, but also explains that the story is so wacky that he can spoil it and it won't make any sense outside of context. He brings up the synopsis of one part "where the President of the U.S. tries to resurrect Jesus Christ"^{Note (with spoilers)}For those interested, it refers to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, and Garnt does a double-take, almost thinking that he's talking about Metal Gear Solid.
• About Komi Can't Communicate, they agree with the notion that it's boring — rather, while it's cute, it gets stagnant and doesn't do anything new for a long time. As Joey puts it, "the manga readers go 'it gets really good'... you just have to wait 200 chapters." Garnt straight up says "it's okay," and Joey starts laughing given the last time Garnt called a highly popular series "okay."

Episode 102: Goodbye Japan

• Joey's intro: "What's up, you...human hombres," complete with pronouncing "hombres" with a hard H.
• After discussing keyboard aesthetics and functionality, Joey and Garnt poke fun at Connor for preferring to bring a separate keyboard with him when he travels so he can comfortably play games, rather than using his laptop's keyboard or a controller. The comments on the YouTube video are overwhelmingly supportive of Connor, with one even suggesting that "takes where Connor is right and Joey and Garnt are clowns" should become its own Trash Taste Awardw category.

Episode 103: Our First Trash Taste Convention Experience

• Connor's plan to disguise himself so that he doesn't get recognized and swarmed by fans includes a cap, sunglasses and a face mask. Not only are these elements oddly conspicuous indoors, he forgot that he's wearing a Trash Taste shirt that's not yet available to the general public, and it's the exact same shirt that Connor wears on most episodes. He's well aware that it's not perfect, but hoped that it would at least deter instant recognition at a glance. It didn't work as he expected.
• Garnt relates a tale of a guy who wanted to show him photos of a woman who looked exactly like Sydney, only to realize that it actually was Sydney... but the guy refused to believe Garnt when he said so because Sydney had apparently told the guy she wasn't Sydney when he asked.

Episode 105: Sitting Down With a Real ℌệ𝔫𝔱ằ𝔦 Artist (ft. ShindoL)

• Throughout the episode, ShindoL nonchalantly dispenses some one-liners about the content that he and his fellow artists make, and Connor would frequently get disgusted by what he heard. Garnt notes that this episode is a goldmine for no-context clips.
• Calling right back to the doujin episode, Connor starts regretting a few of his criticisms he laid out against Metamorphosis, and in his defense, he did not expect that they would have the author one of the doujins as a guest.
• When ShindoL told the editors that Metamorphosis would end with Saki's tragic death, it was met with an uncomfortable "Oh..." He wanted it to be more depressing, but his editors forced him to dial it down so that it can be published.
• ShindoL notes that a lot of hentai lately have been eschewing a good story to get straight to the action, and Joey and Garnt also note that a lot of doujins like to cram the backstory into a short monologue so that they can get to the sex scene as fast as possible. They liken it to YouTube videos designed to capture the audience's attention before flashing back to how it's all set up, and theorize that the hentai world is also subject to "an algorithm."
• ShindoL's first work in the doujin scape is a Planet of the Apes doujin, inspired by a porn parody he saw as a teenager. The boys did not expect this kind of origin story at all, to say the least.
• When they talk about censorship in doujins, they joke about how some artists use black bars that are so minute and positioned so oddly that they're technically adhering to the rules while not censoring anything at all, while others white out the genitals like "a lightsaber." ShindoL entertains the idea of someone's censored genitals being an in-universe light source.
• They talk about doujin tags, and ShindoL isn't afraid to go into some of the more depraved ones and try to put a spin on it. When asked on which tag is so vile that he won't dare approach it, he admits he hasn't found one yet. Garnt suggests "eye penetration," and ShindoL nonchalantly says that he's already looked into it, sending both Garnt and Joey reeling in laughter.
• When ShindoL mentions that his favorite tag is "birthing," Connor briefly shuts down trying to process the appeal of the tag. He eventually goes with "you're asking the questions Man never asked and just go with it." He still says that he can completely write vanilla despite his nonstandard taste in tags, though he lumps "birthing" into "vanilla." Joey jokes that ShindoL's standards are on an entire different level than theirs.
• The boys are a little curious as to why some doujins fascinate them so much that they're not bothering to jack off. Garnt concludes that it's because doujins aren't a hands-free experience, and Connor subtly calls back to how he Chromecasts his doujins.

Episode 107: OUR BOY GOT MARRIED

• The episode starts with the boys discussing their horrendous experience with Aer Lingus and the difficulty recovering their lost equipment. They then go on to their experiences in America and their fears for their lives just walking its streets, and realize that this is a prime "complaining about America" episode.
• Garnt recalls when he tried to invite John (Super Eye Patch Wolf) to an apartment he rented. Garnt tries to call out to him, while John fails to recognize him and walks away. Garnt then sprints up to him to confirm who he is.
• Garnt puts double the recommended amount on his wedding's bar tab so he wouldn't get charged afterwards, reasoning he would be refunded later. Days later, he e-mails the company about his refund, only for it to be 1 pound and 40 pence.
• Joey's story of Meilyne constantly making him drink tequila, ending with him Flipping the Bird at her to get her to stop.
• Connor recounts he ate at least four stone-baked pizzas at the wedding.
• Joey recalls walking up to the wedding's bar asking for an espresso martini. The bartender points to a whole shelf-full of them.
• Garnt discusses his experience on the night before — he was so excited and nervous that he could not sleep. After a few failed attempts to just force himself to sleep, he tried the unthinkable and just sleeping on the floor without any sheets. To his surprise, it worked!
• To help him keep his wits, Garnt challenges himself to a "zero tear wedding run." He failed almost immediately once he looks over his vows, and he covered up with it by getting his friends to hype him up, going full "monke mode." And that didn't work as he started getting emotional the moment he looked at his mother's expectant face in the crowd.
• Joey recalls the whole room preparing to get emotional the moment Sydney starts walking down the aisle, but then a different song starts playing — "Is that Guts' theme?" Garnt actually admits that he and Sydney planned for this off the news of Kentaro Miura's passing.
• The wedding registrar, in the final lines of the vows, stumbles over Garnt's name, causing the whole emotional atmosphere to evaporate as the whole room explodes in cheers and laughter. Some guests even thought that moment was scripted!
• Garnt, who's been signing off as Gigguk on most of his paperwork, nearly falls victim to muscle memory and barely avoided signing the wrong name.
• Joey and the other groomsmen were initially planning to jokingly object if the pastor asked to Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace, but Sydney actually said "don't you fucking dare" to the audience at that moment.
• Garnt and Joey gathered the guests and took this once-in-a-lifetime moment to recreate the infamous "congratulations" ending scene from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
• Sydney cuts the cake diagonal on her second slice. Garnt laughs while she grabs a slice with one of her hands and gives him it to eat.
• Meilyne tells Garnt after Sydney eats a cake slice to "Lick it! Lick her!" initially thinking it to be something more innocent. He goes through with it.
• Joey recalls their friend Jan telling him he'll take a nap before the wedding's dinner. He doesn't come back.
• Before the reception, Joey sees Jan fully dressed with sunglasses and cigarettes stuck talking to a homeless-looking person in an alleyway.
• During the wedding reception, Connor gives their editor Mudan a hard disk of previous episodes to edit.
• Garnt's mother downs a bottle of beer while Sydney tries to get their drunk friend Karen to her room.
• A drunk Joey pops off on the dance floor to the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War theme song, not realizing someone is recording him. The same thing happens with the DEVILMAN crybaby theme.
• When Joey was visiting Stonehenge, he remembers stopping at a village hosting a duck race.

Episode 111: The Struggles of a Professional Voice Actor ft. ProZD

• ProZD slowly loses his mind as he finds out that Garnt watches anime at 1.5x or 2x speed and Connor skips cutscenes in games. This won "Saltiest Moment" in the third Awardw!

Episode 112: THE BOIZ ARE GOING ON TOUR

• The Orange Debate: Connor expresses his hate for oranges and orange flavoring... but strangely he enjoys orange chocolate despite hating both oranges and chocolate on their own. When Garnt tells him how refreshing oranges are, Connor elaborates that he hates them for being "too acidic", but ironically he loves lemon for "being refreshing" despite it being more acidic than oranges. He also really doesn't like the effort involved in peeling an orange. The contradictory information he's spouting completely baffles Garnt and Joey.
  Garnt: There aren't enough hats in the world to indicate how much cap that is, man.

Episode 118: We are the Garbage Taste Podcast (ft. William Osman)

• William brings up a story about how they got questioned by the TSA for bringing a large pack of Magic: The Gathering cards in their luggage. Apparently, since the X-rays could not penetrate effectively, it ended up looking like a large block of... something else^note probably drugs.

Episode 119: We HATE Celebrities

• Garnt brings up "the river meta" when looking over how civilizations in history would focus around a flowing source of water. Connor greatly disagrees that this is "a meta" and the boys begin arguing over what a "meta" is and if it could even apply to real life. Garnt admits that Twitch lingo has poisoned his vocabulary and Connor sarcastically suggests we start using gamer slang to discuss historical events, such as "The Great Sadge".

Episode 120: The Most Dangerous Man on YouTube (ft. NileRed)

• Nigel's stories seem to involve an escalating series of events dating back to his childhood involving questionable testing methodologies that later on end up involving the Canadian government. By the end of the episode, none of the hosts even get the chance to ask him about his anime tastes.
• Nigel's firecracker story starts with his dad telling him that he could get two firecrackers together, having one detonate in order to launch second in the air. Joey, understandably, is mystified on why Nigel's dad would tell him that. Then Nigel is told by his dad that he could put a BB pellet in the tube, to which Connor quickly points out is essentially a gun. Then Nigel gets the brilliant idea:
  Nigel: We put one BB in and it worked really well, but then I was like "if you put a lot of BBs in—"
  Garnt: —then you've made a shotgun.

Episode 121: We Are NOT Alphas

• The guys start talking about Japan's declining population, and how the Japanese government's reluctance to fully open up to immigrants isn't helping.
  Joey: [The UN]'s just like "Did you know there's a lot of people outside Japan that really wanna fuck Japanese people?!" [Connor busts out laughing] Just saying. Like, there's a lot of people outside Japan who think Japanese people are kinda hot! I mean, yellow fever's kind of a thing! [...] I'm literally the result of that phenomenon! If my dad didn't go "Mmm, Japanese people kinda hot", I wouldn't be here, so I have the liberty to say that!

Episode 122: MR. AFFABLE RETURNS (ft. Abroad in Japan)

• Connor tries to enter an upscale restaurant in London and prompts Chris via text for the reservation name; he can't get anything from him beyond "barry chopsticks"^note (which was meant to be sarcastic from Chris). Annoyed, Connor uses the name anyway and manages to advance until the receptionist finally tells him that—no, there is no reservation for Barry Chopsticks… but there is a reservation under Chris Broad.
  • Connor clarifies that the reason he played it straight was because he assumed Chris was trying to act like a celebrity hiding from the paparazzi through the use of a pseudonym.

Episode 123: THE TRASHIEST SHOWER THOUGHTS

• The entire "light mode vs. dark mode" debate, but especially Connor's argument that manga is more dark mode than light. Garnt loses his mind, Joey pulls an "okay, I gotta stop you right there", and someone off-camera can be heard laughing loudly.

Episode 124: HE'S FINALLY HERE (ft. PewDiePie)

• Felix throughout the episode manages to find a "bad" take from each of the boys to agree with, shaking their hands along the way:
  • Garnt in their shared dislike for pizza crust.
  • Joey in not watching Arcane.
  • Connor in skipping video game cutscenes.

Episode 128: Our REAL Thoughts on America

• An embarrassing anecdote from Connor: While waiting for his bathtub to fill, he plays some Teamfight Tactics to pass the time. After half an hour, he's on a winning streak and is feeling great... and then someone starts knocking. He goes to answer it and he finds that the bath has been overfilled and is spilling out into the nearby rooms, and his drainage isn't working. He hastily comes up with an excuse that he fell asleep and gets the engineers to fix it, and the hotel reception is surprisingly chill about rooms being accidentally flooded. Also, thanks to Gossip Evolution, Connor had to hear from multiple people that he didn't just flood three rooms but ended up having everyone believe he flooded four floors of the hotel. This won "Most Monke Moment" for third Awardw!
  Garnt: "Guys, guys! I didn't flood four floors! I only flooded three rooms guys! Get it right!"
  Connor: Four floors is way more dramatic! C'mon! That's like the entire foundation is fucked.
  Joey: "I didn't cause that much property damage! Only a little bit property damage!"
• The Great Chicken Debate 2: The Sequel. Continuing off from where the boys left off on Episode 65, Garnt realizes that so many people love their chicken boneless because they consume tenders and nuggets, and argues that their high opinions are backed entirely by the dipping sauce that you'd have to coat them in to get any flavour. Meanwhile, Joey realizes that Garnt judges tenders and nuggets so harshly because he doesn't like condiments, and both Joey and Connor judge him for not enjoying ranch.

Episode 133: Secrets of Ludwig's Chessboxing Event

• Connor starts 2023 with yet another odd take: he doesn't like ice in his water. Meanwhile, Garnt enthusiastically likes his drinks ice-cold, while Joey lampshades his being absolutely indifferent. Connor then lampshades that this feels so surreal it's almost AI-generated.
• Garnt then extrapolates into another weird take: "Would you rather a warm beer or ice in your beer?" He admits that the ice in the beer hails from how it's served in Thailand, while Joey and Connor would rather take the warm beer than dilute it.
• Joey explains the tradition of sekihan^note a dish of rice and red beans, which colors the rice red being prepared to celebrate a girl entering puberty. Connor immediately catches on and is disgusted; Garnt is confused, and then completely blue-screens when it clicks.
  Connor: That's like, me taking my first shit and you just give me, like, brown rice.

Episode 136: This Episode is A.I. Generated

• In the previous episode they discussed how AI is generating content that is remarkably authentic, so they've extrapolated off it and used AI to write their opening spiel and decide their discussion topics. "Connoiseur of trash" from the intro resonates especially well with them.
• First up is "Anime Dads - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly", and they eventually go into the infamous manga ending of Bunny Drop. They get frustrated over how mangaka get into some crazy controversy either in real life or with their story. Garnt would only be comfortable with things like that in a hentai, "where every stepmother is fucking their child". Connor immediately jumps in and says that stepmothers are an exception.
• Prompt number 2, true to Trash Taste tradition, is "Food that Sounds Disgusting but is Actually Delicious". Connor proposes the toast sandwich - a slice of toast between two seasoned slices of plain bread. Garnt and Joey sound offended by the concept.
• The third prompt is "The Etiquette and Taboos of Pooping in Different Cultures", fulfilling the usual mention of poop for the week. The boys are generally averse to pooping in a public toilet, though they discover that Connor is sorely mistaken about squat toilets — he thought you use them while half-squatted!

Episode 141: The Worst Food Takes EVER (ft. Emirichu)

• Right off the bat they start laying into Emily's food takes.
  • The first thing they contest is her tier list of noodles — primarily udon, which she ranks above all others, while the boys dislike it for being too chewy. She justifies her reasoning as she was raised in San Diego, where there weren't really good udon places, so she really loved the udon she got in Japan. Connor retorts that "it's hard to find really good udon places because there isn't any good udon places."
  • Next up is her opinion on soup curry, which the boys loved but she found "just fine." She elaborates it with actually giving it an 8/10, though the boys argue that "just fine" gives more an impression of a 5-6/10.
  • The boys are baffled by how she takes out the meat from the ramen and gives it to Daidus, as the broth has enough meaty flavour for her.
  • While they reach an agreement of cold soba over hot soba, Connor points out that he prefers to eat hot foods for dinner. He also goes on to say that cold soup is a travesty regardless of climate, and everyone else starts piling on this take. Especially confusing is his preference for hot drinks on hot days because "it cools him down".
• As the podcast goes on they slowly change to clowning on Connor's food takes.
  • They talk about dessert, when Connor proudly claims his preference for ice cream. Garnt and Joey start clowning on how he only goes for vanilla ice cream and doesn't bother exploring when he has the opportunity. When they go on to talking about fruit for dessert, Connor boldly claims his dislike of fruit (except bananas, but he also hates banana splits) which baffles everyone.
  • They flip back to inquiring about Emily's dislike of lamb. Her take is that "it tastes dusty," while Daidus's opinion is that "it tastes like goat's cheese." Surprisingly, Garnt agrees with the "dusty" bit, though it's mainly out of the gamey aftertaste. As it turns out, Garnt feels that his dislike of lamb came from UK lambs in school lunches, which offends Connor and gets Joey cheering.
  • To cap off the meat takes, Emily isn't fond of yakitori, which causes Joey to jokingly leave the table.

Episode 143: Ruining the Purest Mind on You Tube (ft. Sykkuno)

• Near the end of the episode (and teased at the very opening), the boys tell Sykkuno about some of the strangest experiences they've had in Japan. Garnt talks about going to a steampunk-themed bar with Sydney and being made to drink milk from a baby bottle and be whipped. Connor talks about the time he worked a shift in a male strip club. The kicker is Joey casually talking about being on-set for a shoot in a cosplay porn studio where the actress was dressed as Violet Evergarden. Sykkuno gets a kick out of Garnt and Connor's stories, but Joey's leaves him completely stunned.
  Joey: I was there. I made eye contact with her.
  Sykkuno: That is so strange! That's a thing-you-you-y-you just-what?! *the boys all crack up*

Episode 144: We Watched The Most CURSED ℌє𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖎

• They start the episode with dread right off the bat, mainly because unlike the previous hentai episode, they have restrictions for their recommendations (usually involving Fan Disservice) and they all have to cap it off by watching and discussing the incredibly graphic Euphoria. Connor protests against doing content like this, while Garnt retorts that some of Connor's own recommendations made him regret life and "want to commit Jump King."
• Connor's choice for "a hentai that made you cry" is Oide yo! Mizuryuu Kei Land that involved a sex theme park, but at face value, Garnt and Joey are a little confused as to why Connor chose this.
  • Joey and Garnt remark on how well thought-out the theme park's systems are; Garnt wrote a note that reads "Finally, a theme park that Joey would enjoy."
  • All three can't help but laugh over how there's one character jacking off in the middle of a regular conversation.
  • Joey's amused with the wordplay it's snuck in — the ferris wheel's name is written with similarly-sounding kanji that makes it read like "rough fuck mobile."
  • The thing that made Connor cry is the scene where one of the male characters is falling in love with the girl he's having sex with, and then they swap partners with another couple, with his new sexual partner consoling him while the first girl is getting railed in front of him and enjoying it more than when she was with him. After all that is said and done, the main character still goes on to ask the girl out on a date. The writing baffles the boys and Garnt and Joey finally understand Connor's reasoning, as it has nearly the same feel as an entry from the Netorare Genre. Joey is just largely unfazed because it gets a lot worse with the genre.
• Garnt's choice for "NTR that he enjoyed" is Netorare-zuma — "Netorare'd Wife."
  • The first funny moment isn't even part of the discussion, but the note that pops up saying "WE CAN'T SHOW A SINGLE PIXEL" referring to the extremely NSFW cover art.
  • The reason why Garnt enjoyed it was because the husband who was being cheated on is an extremely obsessed idol fan who got with his wife for all the wrong reasons. In Garnt's words, the husband being so pathetic makes this the closest he's ever come^note cue Cyberpunk theme to enjoying NTR.
  • A trope that they can't wrap their heads around is sex while the other guy is within direct earshot, especially if he's just sleeping. Joey can understand if chloroform is involved, and Connor does a Double Take as Garnt cracks up.
  • Despite his general aversion to the genre, Garnt is actually disappointed that this hentai didn't go far enough and wanted to see this Asshole Victim get utterly ruined.
• Joey's choice for "ugliest bastard" is Soredemo Tsuma wo Aishiteru 2 for having the quintessential ugly bastard. Even Connor got excited at finally understanding where the memetic image of the UB's face came from.
  • The plot to that show, however, is so convoluted that Garnt states "viewers would have an easier time following Inception."
  • When Garnt claims that the show is made "to limit-test boners," he's so repulsed by how disgusting the ugly bastard looked, complete with Gross-Up Close-Up, that he "could hear Dark Souls boss music." The man's so ugly Garnt also describes him as "the embodiment of Pot of Greed."
  • Amidst all the disgust, Garnt highlights one moment of hilarity where the husband is at a bar voicing his worries about his wife having an affar, and a fellow patron shrugs it off with a "have a drink."
• Connor's choice for "a MILF hentai that he disliked" is Sleepless - A Midsummer Night's Dream. Joey was confused by this choice since the first episode was exactly what Connor would be into... but the second episode is where all the Fan Disservice is.
  • After describing what happens in the first episode, Connor recalls being excited enough for the second episode that he took the effort to see it at first opportunity... and what he saw shocked and disgusted him so much that he likened it to Saw.
  • While the boys are talking about the Nausea Fuel that this episode involves, Kai, offscreen, is visibly disgusted, as Joey comments.
  • One scene involving penile injection causes them all to Share the Male Pain, and Connor is absolutely dumbfounded over why hentai can show such depraved stuff but still has to pixelate genitals.
  • The final scene of the episode leads to the protagonist waking up on a surgery table, finding that his penis has been surgically swapped with a comically large one. As Garnt puts it, "they gave him a black cock!" It Crosses the Line Twice so hard that they stop being disgusted and all burst out laughing.
• Garnt's choice for a hentai "that awoke something in him" is Sakusei Byoutou — "Semen Collection Hospital." Garnt describes the premise as "Speed, but instead of a bus blowing up if it goes below 50 miles an hour, it's a guy's dick that hurts him if he doesn't jack off every 3 hours."
  • Joey notes that this hentai has already addressed the question of "why doesn't he jack off then?" because the dude has broken both his hands, much like the Reddit meme.
  • Because the guy is so needy, they portray him like a whiny kid using Morty's voice.
  • Each subsequent nurse introduced is more sadistic than the last and does crazier things. One of them uses a fleshlight attached to a power drill, leading to really silly descriptions like "cotton candy machine of nut" and "a bad Cr1TiKaL contraption."
• Joey's choice for "dubbed hentai he likes" is Sextra Credit, which has a Gag Dub much like Ghost Stories. The boys commend the scriptwriters for rewriting a normally repulsive premise into something enjoyable.
  • An example scene is one where the student council is insulting the protagonist, and Garnt describes it as "they learned English from a Call of Duty lobby," including brutal roasts like "You have less spine than a spina bifida victim."
  • Connor went digging for hilarious reviews... and finds them from Amazon, since its DVD is available there. One negative review, for instance, was from a customer who had no idea what kind of content they were getting into, and the cover didn't help one bit.
  • Another scene involves a vial of red liquid that they presume would be aphrodisiac (Connor's not willing to discover), but the dub calls it "barbecue sauce with tabasco."
• The episode ends with discussion of Euphoria.
  • Garnt, of course, brings up Sydney asking him about it (well before she started her YouTube channel) and the trauma she went through when she live-Tweeted playing through the Visual Novel.
  • Joey gets tickled when Garnt describes it as "hentai Squid Game".

Episode 145: The Most Controversial Anime Takes (ft. HasanAbi)

• Early in the episode, someone's phone goes off, but Hasan mistakes it for a jingle that cues a Genre Shift like a variety show.
• Hasan brings forth a controversial take: Attack on Titan is a mecha anime. Joey's opposed to it, but Garnt understands his angle.
  • Connor suggests if Attack on Titan is a mecha, then Ratatouille is a mecha show too.
  • Joey elaborates that Neon Genesis Evangelion does have mecha, but as you go along it stops being a mecha show and becomes just a sci-fi show. Garnt is utterly confused and passionately debates him on this point.
  • When Joey's asked to dissect the definition of the mecha genre, he's starting to actually agree that Attack on Titan is a mecha anime, which gets Garnt and Hasan really excited.
  • Going off the definition of "someone controlling something," Joey asks if VTubers are mecha too.
• When talking about Hunter × Hunter, Hasan brings up that Leorio's desire to pay for healthcare makes it political. He also elaborates that One Piece has the Drum Island arc that's basically about paywalling healthcare. The boys argue that it's just sheer coincidence but Hasan doesn't back down.
  Connor: You may not like it, but this is what American healthcare is going to be like in two years.

Episode 146: The SPICY Food Takes Don't Stop

• Garnt poses the question "Rice or bread; choose one, the other disappears forever".
  • Connor chooses bread, Garnt chooses rice, and Joey struggles for a few minutes but ultimately chooses bread.
    Joey: My god, this is the one time I regret being half-Asian because I can't decide!
  • Garnt mentions that pizza would go away with bread, but he'd be okay with that. Connor immediately calls him a clown.
  • Garnt is adamant that the bread that tends to accompany soups can be easily replaced with rice. Joey counters that just because you can stick your dick in the fridge doesn't mean that you should.
• Garnt then poses the same question, but for noodles or pasta, but this leads to them wondering if they've discussed that before. It then leads to them all agreeing on pasta.
  Garnt: I hate to betray my Asian brethrens, I'm sorry, but...
• Joey notes that there's Chinese food, and then there's "Chinese" food, complete with Air Quotes. Garnt then says that he doesn't think Chinese food "exists" (also complete with Air Quotes), which busts up both Connor and Joey.
  Connor: That's a good out-of-context clip. "I don't think it's real."

Episode 149: Horror Anime SUCKS

• They talk about anime adaptations of Junji Ito's works and why they are never good. They realize that the stories are too Narmy to be effective horror, and start laughing over things make no sense if you scrutinize them, and conclude that Junji Ito doesn't take his stories seriously either.
• When talking about horror anime Connor checks out a "top horror anime" listing — the top is Tokyo Ghoul, and other strange entries include High School Of The Dead, Attack on Titan and Parasyte. Connor switches to "IGN's Top Ten Horror Anime of All Time", and it's not much better. After mocking the questionable picks, they realize that these lists include entries that have horror elements but are not necessarily part of the horror genre.
• Connor brings up that the most recent hentai has been of poor quality, and Garnt takes this opportunity to bring up My Life as Inukai's Dog, and elaborates that the main girl Inukai loves her dog a bit too much. Connor, in sheer shock, lets out an impressive Big "NO!" When Garnt also adds that the original manga involves "breastfeeding", Joey immediately realizes what it entails and just lets out a disgusted "AY YO!" while Connor briefly slips into a Southern accent trying to process this, eventually exclaiming "just make porn!" They're all appalled at how this kind of show made it into a regular anime time slot, and Connor jokes that "this wouldn't have happened if Harambe didn't get shot."

Episode 150: The 3rd Annual Trash Taste Awards

• Once again, the logo reads "Trash Taste Awardw."
• Connor screws up the champagne bottle pop for the intro and gets clowned on for it.
• First up is "Hottest Take of the Year," and they have a lot of candidates like Connor's "orange is the worst flavor" and Sydney's "all sports are the same." For the first time in the Awardw, there is a tie between Connor's "orange is the worst flavor" and Garnt's "light mode is better" at 20% each!
• When going over "Best Out-of-Context Clip," the thumbnail for ShindoL's "birth is vanilla" depicts Joey looking so shocked he might have reached enlightenment.
• "Best Screen Grab of the Year" is Trucker Connor, where the video compression left him with a comically small chin. It wins with 39%, way over second place at 13%!
• "Most Degenerate Moment" has two candidates from the Sykkuno episode — first with Joey explaining Redo of Healer, then with Garnt explaining Domestic Girlfriend. The winner, however, goes to Ludwig talking about masturbating 18 times in a day, winning at 37% of the vote. Garnt wonders what exactly Ludwig was jacking off to, and Joey jokes that it's ShindoL's porn.
• "U.S. State They're Least Likely to Revisit" has four candidates - Florida, Ohio, Arizona, and the entire Midwest. Connor even notes that Ohio is in the Midwest. However, the boys and the audience reach a consensus as Ohio wins, with 51% of the vote!
• In an intermission, they each nominate one moment from the US Tours.
  • Garnt's choice is from the Chicago show, where they had to defend each other's takes, even if they disagreed with it. Garnt didn't do a good job arguing steak was bad and Joey had to do the direct opposite, which would be effortless. Joey had a good opening with almost immediate applause, but the moment he said "chicken steak" he immediately lost all his steam and the audience began booing him.
  • Joey's choice is the punishment sections where they had to sing the Americal national anthem, and they've done it so much they eventually learned the song by heart.
  • Connor's choice is the argument section from the Tennessee show. Connor had to defend his "all music is beeps and boops," after Garnt had an easy time supporting the opposite. He comes in to boos from the audience, and he decided to double down and go on to diss country music, only to get a standing ovation instead!
• "Saltiest Moment" goes to ProZD's utter disgust at learning Garnt watches his anime at double speed and Connor skips cutscenes in video games. It got 43% of the votes! The boys are convinced that he won't want to guest-star again.
• "Most Monke Moment" has Connor in four of the candidates, but the winner is when he flooded three hotel rooms because he was playing Teamfight Tactics, getting a landslide with 57% of the votes!
  Connor: I got to Diamond, though!
• "Biggest Clown" definitely goes to Aer Lingus for losing their luggage and recording equipment, at 55% of the vote. Second place, however, is Connor, much to his chagrin.
• "Biggest Chad" has several photos comically edited to make them look way more flattering than reality.
• "Best Drip" goes to Garnt's dad at a overwhelming 55% of the vote for his outfit during Garnt's wedding. In comparison, Chris, who won the award last year, only managed about 14.5%. The "Laziest Drip" award then goes to Connor wearing the Trash Taste apparel repeatedly at 52%, much to his irritation. He insists it's consistency and not laziest.
• The "I Made It the Fuck Up" award candidates includes Joey's "Aristotle invented thinking" take, and they laugh over how that thumbnail even has him wearing pretentious-looking glasses.

Season Four

Episode 151: Teaching Weebs how to SHOWER

• Connor starts the episode with a revelation that "sounds AI-generated": How much water it takes to flush the toilet. He learns of this when his building was undergoing emergency maintenance, and his friend took a dump while they had no water access. He tries to hold it in until the water comes back, but he eventually relents and answers the call to nature, and then finds out the hard way to flush out "two persons' worth of shit". Joey chimes in with what he was taught in his childhood for water conservation: "If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down."
• Garnt starts talking about considering getting some eye surgery to fix his astigmatism. He goes on to talk about a Twitter thread detailing how people with astigmatism perceive the world, and realizes that this is why he prefers light mode, as it helps him focus on what he's reading. He's aware that this sounds like a big excuse to defend his contentious take.
• Garnt later brings up peeing in the dark and the problems with poor aim. Connor asks why he doesn't just turn on the bathroom light, and Garnt justifies it by "not wanting to fully wake himself in the middle of the night" by doing so. Joey jokes "why is this the only time you use dark mode?" When Connor talks about the convenience of peeing while sitting down, Garnt's brain somehow cannot process this properly, as he associates "sitting down" with "pooping" instead of anything else.
• Joey's parents have a strange solution to the nighttime bathroom break: LED lights on the toilet seat. Connor describes it as a "Republic of Gamer toilet."

Episode 152: Sitting Down with a Japanese Anime Producer

• Yoshihiro Watanabe (anime producer from Studio Orange) is asked how they manage to do 3D CGI. He explains that the studio is "the hentai (crazy maniacs) of the anime industry" — they put in more effort than most others to make it work.
• Connor asks about finances of an anime, and Yoshihiro simply says that the studio is just enlisted by the client to make a show. This explanation is simpler than what Connor had in mind — of a studio being so Merchandise-Driven that they make anime specifically to drive figurine sales.

Episode 153: WE CAN'T STOP PLAYING GACHA

• While talking about movies they recently watched, Garnt recalls getting excited to watch Oppenheimer, only for Connor to remind him that it won't be screened in Japan. It took Garnt a little while to understand why.
• Connor talks about his experiences in Italy and describes the country as the "Southeast Asia of Europe." Garnt challenges the claim, and Connor backs it up: There's mopeds everywhere, everyone is enthusiastically loud, and they often exceed the speed limit and never signal. Garnt concedes that it is starting to resemble Thailand. When Garnt expresses his regrets of not traveling to Italy, Joey brings up that he would have to eat pizza crust if he goes there.
• Garnt recalls watching a hentai named My Mother only to realize that it's voiced entirely in Thai. He couldn't enjoy it one bit because the voice acting was the stereotypical Thai soap opera voice acting. Connor admits that he also watched it (of course he has) but he also cringed at the Thai voice acting and was turned off by the actual Parental Incest.
• When talking about changes to the Twitter systems, Garnt expresses his irritation with uncleared notifications. Connor and Joey go on to show their collection of uncleared notifications which really gets on his nerves. Garnt's compulsion to clear his notifications leads to him barely reading texts just to mark it as read, and both Connor and Joey really pile on him for this habit as it makes him terrible at replying to texts.
• Connor talks about the really dark Fear & Hunger and expounds on its brutal difficulty. Lots of things — even saving your game — are decided by coinflip, although there's a rare item that softens the coinflips to a 75% success rate. Garnt is still not comfortable with 75% success rate on things that are normally guaranteed; Connor says "you're a gacha gamer, 10% is already very good for you!"
• Connor caps off the spiel by saying that the game is punishing but really rewarding when you work things out, telling Garnt to figure things out through its Trial-and-Error Gameplay, and then pop open the wiki when you really need to target something. Garnt is apprehensive as it sounds like a game that's too hard and tedious for his liking. Connor says "it's easy if you know what to do" and Joey calls out this take: "Brain surgery isn't hard; it's easy if you know what to do."

Episode 154: Our First Live Podcast

• When talking about strange Australian colloquialisms, Garnt asks why Australian Dollars aren't called "doll-o's." Joey's response is that they're called "dollaridoos."
• Garnt brings up that Melbourne was almost named Batmania, after their founder, John Batman. Garnt can't get over how it sounds like something someone made up, while Connor goes "We have like, five hundred places named 'Cock' in the UK, we're not one to judge."
• As they continue to talk about silly town names in Australia, Joey brings up the town named Banana. Connor goes on to praise the town to great cheers from the audience, and then Joey tells him of Orange which Connor jokingly suggest to destroy.
• They talk of a time when they were going into a casino private room with Chad which has a strict dress code. One of the producers happened to be wearing a tracksuit and is disallowed entry... until the bouncer recognizes Joey as the Anime Man, and then decides to bend the rules a bit for him. For reference, Chad, despite being enough of a casino regular to have private room access, has never experienced this kind of favor.
• Garnt and Connor lose their minds when Joey, while trying to describe the differences between watching K-On! and Bocchi the Rock!, compares the experience of watching K-On to watching an exotic bird exhibit at the zoo.

Episode 157: WHY DOES LIVE ACTION ANIME SUCK?

• At around 51:45 in the YouTube video, Garnt has a fan in his hands that he fidgets with as he's talking. The camera focuses on Joey for a while, and when it cuts back to Garnt and Connor, Connor appears to be completely zoned out, staring at the fan for almost a minute as Garnt talks.
• When Garnt starts talking about how The Matrix revolutionized special effects in movies:
  Joey: *smirking* The Matrix Revolutions?
  *Garnt actually grabs his mic, leans forward, and points at Joey*
  Garnt: Shut the fuck up, Joey. I swear to God. Stop with your dad jokes for a second, Joey, I'm trying to make a point here.
• Garnt realizing that the Madame Web storyline in Spider-Man: The Animated Series is, in essence, an isekai story. Joey finds it funny because this is why Garnt likes the Spider-Verse movies so much, and Connor double-Facepalms for a while.
• When Garnt says that he thinks Naruto would be easier to adapt to live-action than One Piece, he appears to do a double bird flip when he holds his hands up and says "In my mind."

Episode 161: WE HAVE NO ENEMIES

• When talking about how they get back into the habit of gaming, Garnt talks about playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and considers starting Elden Ring. Connor brings up how he's started playing Bloons Tower Defense after watching a video essay on that game. Joey then chimes in with "casually gotten into Minesweeper again" which sounds so bizarre to Garnt that he breaks into laughter.
• They also discuss cosmetics and Garnt gets a little irritated about character customization in games where you can't see most of your character anyway (such as Cyberpunk 2077 which is first-person for most of the game). Joey and Connor, however, like the Mood Whiplash that ensues when their goofy-looking character breaks the tension of a serious cutscene.
• When segueing into idle games, Garnt talks about a museum management minigame in Honkai: Star Rail which is such an uninvolved "make the numbers bigger" gameplay loop that Joey compares it to the stock broker sidequest in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. They laugh about it for a bit, but Joey admits that minigame is one of the best Like a Dragon minigames.
• As they get to talking about anime, they start criticizing the Swordsmith Village arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba for all its Arc Fatigue, starting with the flashbacks in each episode, and leading to how much the Upper Moons refuse to die. Garnt would be more surprised if an Upper Moon stayed dead if beheaded.

Episode 167: We Sat Down With A REAL Japanese Idol

• Close to the end of the episode, Connor has to leave to catch a plane, so in a Trash Taste first, Sally is invited to sit in his spot beside Garnt.
  Garnt: We're upgrading Sally from guest, to now host. You know, since Sally is giving us her first 2-hour conversation, we must do a first on Trash Taste as well.
  Connor: [now offscreen] You can take my cut of this episode.
• After Sally gets settled in, Garnt asks her if she has any hot food takes. This gets a laugh from Connor, and Garnt tells him to shut up. Joey then suggests that they give some examples, bringing up Connor's loathing of oranges. Faintly in the background, Connor says "Yeah!" and Joey comes back with "You leave!"
• Sally agrees with Garnt's "all bread tastes the same" take. Garnt is elated, and Joey does a double facepalm. When he asks her if she can tell the difference between Wonder bread and a pretzel, she says it's because of the seasoning, which leads Joey to do an Eye Take and another double facepalm.
  Garnt: I've never been more happy in my life. My God, this is amazing.

Episode 173: Exposing Our Editor (ft. Mudan)

• Mudan, who edits the podcast and several other channels, has a reputation for being a great and efficient editor, and he used to do the work solo until he's enlisted assistants. The boys start with confirming if he's actually human. How does Mudan actually manage to keep up with his work load? Addiction.
• Mudan's first point of advice to being able to edit well is to "be healthy", but how he does this is a little unusual — he takes a whole load of vitamin supplements with his usual meals of porridge/pasta/chicken and rice. Even Connor is a little taken aback at how much he's "optimizing" his life.
  
  A couple episodes later, Connor also admits to trying out Mudan's vitamin supplement mixture. Results to be announced.
• Mudan brings the boys gifts — various energy drinks from a convenience store. Joey explains how some of them are used as hangover cures or as a pick-me-up. The one Connor's drinking is also used to treat erectile dysfunction, which almost causes Connor to do a Spit Take.
• The boys become aware of their moments where they bring up false information on the podcast and Mudan would edit in a pop-up window that corrects them. The most annoying fact that Mudan had to correct is "why don't they use white paint on airplanes?" and what irked him the most on that topic was that his attempts to research the answer got him repeated contradictory results.
• The "light mode vs. dark mode" debate also became a source of stress for Mudan's partner (who was also an optometrist), and eventually she started struggling to edit due to the bad takes the boys were throwing around.
• While talking about being healthy, Garnt decides to rant about his pet peeve over the Nine out of Ten Doctors Agree trope — "Who are these ten doctors they've polled?" Joey also chimes in with "who's this one doctor who doesn't agree?"
• Mudan's early days of work involved editing vlogs: the first he worked for had content that involved "pleasuring women", and after a few successful videos, he'd be asked to edit raunchier stuff. As Mudan puts it, it's "a good precursor to Trash Taste", though it's not about the content he's editing, but the volume and accuracy of the editing required. A notable quote is being asked to make a cut precisely at "the apex of the movement."

Episode 174: We Drunk Every Beer in JAPAN

• Naturally, as the episode goes on, the boys get more and more drunk and they put out increasingly silly takes.
• This episode contains one of the most succinct Mudan fact checks: "Is Connor right? No."^note Connor is claiming that warm alcohol gets to your head quicker.
• Why doesn't the Japanese population have a big prevalence of Caeliac's Disease? According to the boys, anyone who had those genes that predisposed to that disease died out. "Skill issue", as they say.
• Would the boys survive in the caveman era? Garnt is certain that his poor eyesight will get him killed. Connor is confident that he could hold his own, thinking that he could "throw things" well enough to survive, and even take down an elephant with enough preparation. Garnt and Joey doubt that and deem that Connor's definitely going to die first.
  • Connor thinks he'll be able to dodge-roll away from an elephant only to be shot down because "he has no i-frames."
  • His plan of taking down an elephant is to trap it in a pitfall. Garnt asks what would happen if the elephant rears up on its hind legs, and Connor backpedals to the drawing board.
  • How would they hunt an elephant? The strategizing gets so intricate that it sounds like they're planning a raid.

Episode 175: She's a Regular Here! (ft. Shibuya Kaho)

• When talking about the translation process of her book about the Japanese porn industry, Kaho talks about the changes in tone between the Japanese and English versions. For instance, the English version tends to use "fuck" more often than any other descriptor for sex. Connor and Joey theorize that using "fuck" sounds more casual than approaching the topic from a business-like perspective. Kaho also joins in the ensuing jokes about using the most awkwardly clinical ways to describe sex.
• About the Crunchyroll Anime Awards (where Kaho is a judge for nominees), Kaho brings up how they've added more categories — "Best Animation", "Best Art Direction", and "Best Cinematography". The boys mention how the average anime fan doesn't know or care enough about the technical differences to make a proper decision, and it'll just become more awards for the most popular titles like Jujutsu Kaisen to win.
• When talking about their Twitter feeds, Connor's own feed is a mixture between "news and boobs", and the Mood Whiplash transitioning between these two categories tires him out sometimes.
• Kaho recalls being recruited to do a publicity stint for Senran Kagura specifically because the production staff wanted well-endowed women. She also adds that she the other participating women were asked to strap pedometers to their breasts and jiggle them, which causes everyone else to break into confused laughter.
• Garnt mentions that he had an eye examination earlier that day, and his pupils are still dilated and the lights in the studio were starting to hurt his eyes, so he gets to put on a pair of sunglasses. Kaho was expecting a cheesy one-liner like "I'm wearing these shades because my future is too bright".
• What's Joey getting roasted on social media about this time? Glancing at a web novel title like My Sister is the Best Fap Material and getting reminded why anime fans have a bad reputation.
  • But before they get to talking about that title, Kaho goes into an aside to explain how "okazu" is a term for "fap material". Connor and Garnt look like they wish they didn't have to know that.
  • Connor asks for a synopsis ("How bad can it be?") and Joey obliges, but it's so explicit that it turns into a Cluster Bleep-Bomb to stay YouTube-friendly. After Joey finishes reading the synopsis verbatim, Connor begins freaking out, and everyone agrees that it's basically porn.
  • Garnt compares the title to Domestic Girlfriend, saying that Domestic Girlfriend at least has tact. Connor and Joey are not inclined to believe him, especially while he's wearing those sunglasses.

Episode 178: Our Biggest Dating Red Flags

This episode is conducted more like an After Dark episode. The boys bring up a trait in their hypothetical date, and they each opine on whether it's a red flag (avoid), green flag (acceptable), or beige flag (ambivalent).

---

• "Has only watched basic anime, but says they are a weeb." Joey says red, Garnt says green, Connor has no opinion. Garnt likes that trait because it's a great opportunity to help expand his partner's horizons, while Joey's averse to the weeb label because he equates it with being a Japanophile — in his words, "that's just racist!" Garnt and Connor were not prepared for Joey to suddenly discuss racism.
• "Having an obsession (e.g., Disney adult)" After narrowing it down to "Disney adult" levels of obsession, all three call it a red flag, to Garnt's and Connor's surprise, as Joey's girlfriend is a big Disney fan and visits Disneyland often. Joey bends over backwards to deflect the "Disney adult" label, starting with calling her a Kingdom Hearts fan, to which Connor retorts "that's worse" and he concedes to that. Mudan even edits in an Always Sunny meme depicting the lengths Joey is going to defend his girlfriend.
• "She's a 10/10, but she pours milk before cereal." Joey, being neutral on the topic, says green. Garnt and Connor, however, are jokingly passionate on the subject, with Garnt saying red and Connor saying "To the streets!"

Episode 179: The Struggles of an Aspiring Actor (ft. @Premier Two)

• Pete gets caught up with the new internet lingo:
  • He thought "down bad" meant "down on your luck" or "in a bad situation" when it actually means "desperately horny". Things were weird when he used that term during his game streams...
  • He thought "bricked up" meant "really hyped" when it actually means "having a Raging Stiffie". It sure wasn't the kind of "excited" he wanted to express!
  • Having been disconnected from 2011 to 2016, he thought Harambe died of natural causes, which really surprises the boys.

Episode 187: We Roasted Our Friends' Taste in Anime

This episode, they analyze their friends' anime 3x3s, which are 3x3 grids that depict their top nine anime selections. They try to guess whose 3x3 it is before discussing their choices.

---

• First up: a 3x3 filled with series dating from the late 90's (Hajime no Ippo, Ranma ½) to the early 2010's (Oreimo), and it's easy to guess it belongs to Daidus.
  • Garnt picks out Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and says that nobody would put that on their 3x3 unless SEED was the only Gundam they've watched.
  • Garnt and Joey also focus on how he's put all sorts of widely popular series and then decides to just include Welcome to the NHK to make it seem that he's got a deeper appreciation of the genre, while also forgetting about the less savory elements of NHK.
  • Connor eventually asks about the big deal about Oreimo since he's only heard about it from the boys but is too repulsed by the Brother–Sister Incest elements to watch it. Joey notes "It's only a little bit, right at the end" and Garnt goes on to elaborate why the ending was so divisive — despite Oreimo's title, it defied the incestuous expectations and provided a realistic depiction of how siblings act. Then season 2 rolled around and it transitioned into harem hijinks, and the OVAs came out where Kyousuke dumped everyone else, had a faux marriage with Kirino, then broke up right afterwards. The series going against its "it's not incest" setup to reach its ending caused the Internet to freak out; in contrast, Eromanga Sensei, from the same author, "didn't even pretend [it's not incestuous]" and was trash from the get-go.
  • Garnt successfully sells Connor on Welcome to the NHK by describing it as "What if BoJack Horseman was a weeb."
• The second 3x3 is laden with grim stories like Ghost in the Shell (1995), Earth Maiden Arjuna, Made in Abyss and Terror in Resonance. Joey intuits that it's from Kevin Penkin because most of them have incredible soundtracks, and notes that the Made in Abyss OST is composed by him! However, School Days is also included, and Garnt is stumped by this choice.
• The third 3x3 is nothing but shonen series (barring Vinland Saga and Casshern Sins), and they very quickly deduce that it's Charlie's.
  • Connor acknowledges that Yu-Gi-Oh! is so quotable that he's not entirely clear which lines are from the dub or Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. Even the others get confused over the sources of other memetic lines!
• The fourth 3x3 has the dubious honor of including the infamous Hand Shakers. Connor guesses it might be Mudan as he recalls Mudan "saying that he likes the show", only for the editor's note to pop in and refute that. Once it's reveal that it is Mudan's 3x3, the rest of the segment is peppered with editor notes giving Mudan's insights. Connor even (incorrectly) predicts that Mudan would be rebutting their takes every now and then with the editor's notes.
• The fifth 3x3 is a no-brainer — it's Emily's, given that it's got all her favorites — Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura, My Love Story!!.
  • While talking about Cardcaptor Sakura, Garnt talks about the Bowdlerization in the dub, mocking some changes like how Tomoyo was renamed Madison. Connor also points out how the full-size Kero looks out of place alongside the other characters, comparing it to self-insert furry fanart.
  • When talking about how all these entries are shows Connor wouldn't like, Joey suggests that Connor might like Kaguya-sama: Love Is War due to its comedy elements, but Garnt correctly rebuts that Connor won't get past the high school student council setting.
• The sixth 3x3 initially stumps Joey due to having weird entries like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Kamichama Karin, and Eiken. They eventually realize it's Sydney.
  • Her first entry being Naruto was met with confusion from Garnt.
    Garnt: We've known each other for ten years and we're married. I didn't even know you watched Naruto!
  • Eiken is met with disgust from Garnt and Joey due to how it exaggerates Gainaxing and World of Buxom. Sydney put it in her 3x3 because it's her first ever ecchi show, and she was so frantic over her father potentially discovering the show that she rebooted her computer after watching it to cover her tracks.
  • On Kamichama Karin, they start by poking fun at the art style's unnaturally big eyes, but when they begin reading its synopsis they discover the unusually grim background and the laughs slowly die down.
• Kaho's 3x3 comes with a list of commentary for each of her choices.
  • Regarding Digimon Adventure:
    "I was a student at a Protestant school; I stopped going to church on Sunday morning for this show, and chose my religion: anime."
  • Regarding Isekai Quartet:
    "Basically like Avengers or Justice League for isekai shows."
  • Her analysis for Macross is described by Joey as "more in-depth than 95% of reviews."
    "Not only the songs by Yoko Kanno were bangers, the romantic professional battles between two girls was well written. Plus the fact the boy in the love triangle was a career-focused pilot who had a pretty face with a career background in playing a female character in Kabuki gave him more depth than the typical 'why does he get to be popular?' dudes in harem shows."

Episode 188: DAD IS BACK! (ft. Pew Die Pie)

• The boys understand that being a new dad is tiring as attending to the baby's needs leaves little time to sleep. Connor suggests that Felix sleep while the baby sleeps. Felix agrees that it's a good idea, but there's a problem: "The baby doesn't sleep!"
• Connor wants his kid (should he have one) to be cool, and jokingly considers preparing his child by exposing him to things he considers "cool." Felix has considered getting his son into gaming as soon as possible, but the 5-month-old hasn't even learned to walk yet, so he needs to be patient with his son's development. Connor and Garnt jokingly suggest to "speedrun development".
• Felix talks about the concept of using your hazard lights as a "thank you" to the driver behind while on the road, particularly "how many times do you blink your hazard lights?" To Felix, three blinks is "thank you so much," two is "hey, thanks," one is "fuck off." (Four is right out.) The concept puzzles both Connor and Garnt, the former comparing it to a made-up language that nobody teaches, and the latter comparing it to the American tipping system. On this topic, Garnt also brings up Thailand's on-road communication: two flashes of the bright headlights from an incoming car is "Do not enter my lane; I will not slow down."
• While talking about extreme sports, they talk about safety in skydiving versus bungee jumping. Garnt prefers skydiving because while both sports can be lethal if something goes wrong, Garnt would rather let himself die than get a chance to survive albiet with great injury. Then Felix brings up breaking your fall by landing in a tree, and when they go deeper into that topic, they find a story over how a gorilla suit saved a skydiver's life, which leaves Garnt laughing.

We Became MAIDS for a Day and FAILED | Trash Taste Special

• Is it any wonder that Shibuya Kaho would be their mentor in being a maid?
  Connor: What job don't you work?
  Kaho: I'm a regular everywhere, pretty much.
  • Kaho's lessons in being a maid is off to a good start:
    Kaho: Rule 1, no cursing.
    Joey: You're asking two British people and an Australian to not curse?
  • Garnt picks a drink off the menu and it just so happens that the "little baby man" picked the one with the Baby Talk name. (To be fair, most of the menu is written this way)
  • The boys get their beverages served... and amidst the other cutesy drinks is a bottle of beer that Connor ordered.
    Garnt: We're learning how to be maids, this isn't very maidlike of you.
    Connor: Sorry, I thought this was a host club for a second...
  • Garnt's drink is prepared with an overly long cutesy chant. Joey and Connor undergo progressive Color Failure through second-hand cringe, and even the producer can't escape the cringe! Connor even hands Garnt his bottle of beer to help Garnt recover from the cringe.
• The boys discover that their maid costumes, despite being way larger than the norm (5XL), are still not a good fit. Connor's first to get in costume because of his past experience in doing weird cosplays.
  Connor: There's something about this you just don't forget. It's like riding a bike.
• Garnt's costume comes with latex gloves.
  Garnt: Master, *Glove Snap* I'm ready for your anal cavity search.
• Garnt polls his customers whether they prefer bone-in or boneless chicken. The customers who replies "bone-in" get preferential treatment from him.
  • One of the tables he polls has a couple of professional chefs. The answers are eloquent, but they ultimately voice their preference for bone-in. Garnt is elated that his preference has the backing of professionals.
  • As Garnt offers his preferential treatment to another customer who voices his preference for bone-in chicken, that same customer brings up pizza crusts, causing Garnt to withdraw immediately.
• While Connor is gathering ketchup for his customers, Joey walks by, reaches over the counter, and grabs the box of ketchup packets to serve his customers. This later bites Joey in the back when the kitchen staff stop giving him ketchup packets for free.
  Connor: *walks out to the tables* Did he just take my ketchup?!
• While the tables are filled, Joey decides to entertain the guests in line, and uses his camaraderie as fellow Australians to convince them to decline service from Connor and Garnt.
• Joey does a really Hot-Blooded version of the "moe moe kyun!" chant. Meanwhile, Connor's version is doused in anguish from reluctant effort.
• Garnt enlists the help of his wife to help him act like an anime character. All he gets is incomprehensible squealing, which leaves him dumbfounded.
• Garnt gets an unfitting pair of shades, making him look "like a Yakuza side character."
• At the end of day 1, the boys glimpse the vote tally. Garnt and Connor begin accusing each other of cheating, not knowing that Joey was the one who tampered with the count.
• One of the customers that Connor interacts with is cosplaying as him in an Ironmouse cosplay, to his bewilderment.
• One of Garnt's customers calls Garnt out for trying to bribe him. After getting busted, Garnt goes over to the next table to try and bribe them, while Joey solicits votes from that very same table. Eventually, it turns out that the customer still put his vote for Garnt because his bribes are better.
• Joey accepts a customer's request to get napkins in 10 seconds. He takes 14, and so undergoes a forfeit. Garnt thinks he can do better, but takes longer than Joey did and is subject to the same forfeit.
• Garnt is puzzled over why one of his customers has a giant peg. His customer only says "you can infer what you will from this." When the customer reveals that he has a partner, Garnt can only voice his condolences.
• While Connor and Joey shamelessly voted for themselves, Garnt put his vote for Joey because he doesn't want Connor to win.
• For the pose-off in the finale, Joey first asks the audience for their favourite JoJo character, and gets "Jesus". Garnt follows up by asking which character can beat Jesus, and the response is "Goku."
• At the very end, Garnt wins and Joey gets last place, but because Garnt was outed for cheating, Garnt and Joey both take the forfeit: walking around Akihabara in maid costume. As Connor rubs it in, Garnt and Joey begin planning their payback.

Episode 189: The Biggest Gaming Controversies

• They start off discussing the GeexPlus company party that Garnt and Connor missed.
  • Of note was one of the staff, Masa, getting drunk and then improvising a rakugo skit about Pokémon animal abuse.
  • The "daikon incident" happened at midnight, after everyone got really drunk. Kai and some staff went on a convenience store run for what Joey thought would be drinks... then one of them comes back with the largest radish he's ever seen, just because it's on sale, and hands it to Joey. While thinking about what to do with it, one of the staff slips it under the pillow of his coworkers, and the night passes without that person noticing!
• They then talk about Persona 3 Reload which was recently released at the time of the episode's airing (Joey got an early-release version).
  • Joey explains the basic premise to the other guys, and when he talks about the Dark Hour, Connor and Garnt agree that it's basically every night in Birmingham!
  • When he talks about how the game's divided into dungeon crawling and socializing, Connor expresses that he'll find socializing in Japan far harder than any boss fight.
  • When Joey gushes about the menu design, Connor points out how primitive corporate websites look in comparison. They then start joking about going to a bank to withdraw money only to be greeted with a P5-style interface.
• The final segment starts with Garnt recounting the time he was brought to watch a muay thai competition, and he is astonished at how brutal some of those matches are. He was then posed the question: "How many 8-year-olds can you beat in an unarmed brawl?" Connor is rather confident in his ability to brawl, so the question now drifts to "how confident are you in being able to knock out a kid instantly?" The Black Comedy in how much technicality the discussion goes into is not lost on Joey.

Episode 190: We RUINED Our Friendship

This episode is an icebreaker game that Garnt calls "Drunk, Stoned, Stupid" which is akin to "Never Have I Ever." The boys take turns drawing cards with statements (contributed by the Patrons) and then they have to simultaneously guess who best fits that statement.

---

• To start things off, "Most likely to get away with murder (or equivalent)":
  • Both Garnt and Connor vote Garnt, with Connor's justification being that Garnt's monk-like tranquility would leave him Beneath Suspicion. Garnt's own justification is how listening to true crime podcasts second-hand (thanks to Sydney) lets him work out how to avoid getting caught, and if he's in a pinch, he can trust Sydney to bail him out.
  • Connor goes on a little tangent: "do you guys get the manly urge to rob a bank?" Joey's initial response is "You've been playing too much Grand Theft Auto V."
• "Most likely to return an unsatisfactory dish at a restaurant":
  • Garnt asks if it's okay to include people beyond the boys, but he gets shot down because Meilyne will be the obvious answer.
  • Connor votes Garnt to his bewilderment, but justifies that Garnt is really picky (especially how he doesn't take condiments) to which Garnt concedes. Joey voted Connor only because of the British stereotype to complain about anything, but Garnt says they'll still eat but leave a one-star review.
• "Most likely to die in a stupid way" and Joey immediately gives Garnt a big side-eye. However, all three vote Connor for his "fuck around and find out" approach to some things.
• "Most likely to get cancelled in the next 6 months":
  • This unanimously goes to Connor, since it can be boiled down to "who spends the most time on camera" given how online communities are willing to "cancel" anyone over the most trivial things. Garnt even mentions that they get "cancelled" every other week for their takes.
  • Connor also brings up the "Gundam is too hard to get into" take and how Gundam fans tried to argue that it's easy to get into. Naturally, those fans would also be met with counter-arguments: Of note is "Your unemployed friend on a Tuesday [with loads of free time] trying to convince you this Long Runner series is easy to get into."
• "Most likely to go broke" goes to Connor given how often he takes taxis, orders Uber Eats, and splurges for his streams (like his crane game challenges). Connor votes Garnt, but his only point is just "gacha", and Garnt counter-argues that Connor also spends a lot on gacha!
• "Most likely to join a cult" unanimously goes to Garnt. Joey argues Garnt's already in a cult called "the gacha community"!
• "Most likely to shit themselves" unanimously goes to Joey due to an old conversation where they asked each other how many times they shat themselves. Joey's count (five or six) exceeds Garnt's and Connor's, and that excludes food poisoning instances! That's mainly because he frequently takes the risk of a shart, and fails so often. Of note is how Joey tried the "guess the fart" challenge in front of his girlfriend only to shart himself.

Episode 191: We Give You AWFUL Advice

This episode, the boys draw questions looking for advice and then give their takes. They admit that they are the last people one should seek life advice from, thus the title.

---

• "How do I deal with a bully?" The consensus goes to "ignore them, but when they get physical, fight back." Connor recounts his experiences in dealing with them in his childhood: There was a really rude schoolmate, and when that schoolmate insulted Connor, Connor retorted "Your mother is a gerbil" which offended him so much that he wanted to start a fight. Two days later, the troublemaker punched Connor in the chest which barely fazed him, and Connor slammed him into the desk. Connor didn't get in trouble for this, but what he didn't expect was for other bullies to try their hand at fighting him later on. Joey compares this phenomenon to something out of Baki the Grappler. He got involved in five fights that year!
• Garnt can't help but laugh at the Mood Whiplash that goes from "How do I know if I'm in a toxic relationship?" to "How do I deal with a racist uncle?"
• "How to have good taste in anime?" is immediately shot down with "Everyone has shit taste, just watch what you want." Joey draws the next one "How do I get better drip?" and uses this opportunity to plug his clothing brand.

Episode 198: We Watched YOUR ℌệ𝔫𝔱ằ𝔦 Suggestions and Regret It

This time, the boys talk about hentai episodes suggested by their audience, and get disgusted by the depravity they get exposed to.

---

• First up is Imaizumin-chi wa Douyara Gal no Tamariba ni Natteru Rashii (tl: It Seems Like Imaizumi's Place has Become a Gathering Place for Gals) and they all enjoy it.
  • How does a male protagonist who has no charm or redeeming qualities get a bunch of girls after him? Just make him really good in bed! Connor notes that this show isn't the first one to have this loose justification.
  • Connor's sole comment on the fourth episode comes in a scroll that just reads "BANGER," and he's run out of space such that he placed the R on the corner under the E.
• Next is Kanojo wa Dare to Demo Sex Suru (tl: This Girl Will Have Sex With Anyone) which Connor snidely calls "Sneako Simulator". The boys are all frustrated over how the male protagonist is completely okay with filming the girl he likes getting railed by other men without getting any action himself, and they end up just begging him to have some standards and move on to a better relationship.
• A wittily-translated title is Anyone You Can Do, I Can Do Better. It essentially wastes no time, getting the Excuse Plot out of the way to provide lingering camera shots on the female leads' breasts.
  • When the mother reveals her breasts, what gets Garnt laughing is that this shot is punctuated with a Vine boom. He also wonders if that's what Connor experiences whenever he sees a MILF.
  • After realizing the studio is the same as the one behind "Mother Knows Breast", they dig into some user reviews, and one of them is especially bizarre but still ends on a 10/10 rating.
• Temptation is a dubbed selection because the protagonist is voiced by Dan Green. It's riddled with silly one-liners, like "What's Whitesnake's ninth album? Slide It In!" Of note is the final sex scene where Dan shouts out "Start barking for me!" and "Now cluck like a chicken!" His partner does her utmost at animal impressions, but even the latter line elicited a Flat "What" from her. The boys are all laughing over the ridiculousness of the scene.
• Night Shift Nurses is just filled with Nausea Fuel. Connor brings out his second scroll which reads "WHAT THE FUCK."
  • The way the show loosely justifies its sex scenes, especially how the doctor takes his anger out on the nurses, breaks the boys' suspension of disbelief.
  • The doctor choosing to use natto as lube is also ridiculed, with Connor and Joy remarking "They're put BEEEAAAAANS on her?!"
  • The unusual use of hard-boiled eggs brings back Dan Green's "NOW CLUCK LIKE A CHICKEN!" for the moment.

After Dark streams

After Dark Stream 8: We Tested Our Anime Knowledge and Won...

• Connor's almost helpless as he's not very knowledgeable with anime, and whenever Garnt's efforts get a correct answer, Connor shamelessly claims "we" did it.
• The first question involves how Kazuma of KonoSuba got summoned. Garnt immediately locks in on the answer, declaring he'll eat a ghost pepper if he gets it wrong. Connor questions where they got the ghost peppers from, and it turns out it's Meilyne's home-grown peppers that she's brought to the set in hopes that the boys will do something with them.
• Question 8 asks which of the light novels have yet to get an anime adaptation, one of which is Drugstore in Another World, which does indeed have an anime. Connor asks if the anime was any good, and Garnt and Joey quickly shill the title to avoid saying that it was mediocre.

After Dark Stream 9: Trash Taste Official Spelling Bee

• Garnt is given "barograph," and he's a little stumped about what that is. He spells it B-A-R-O-U-G-H-G-R-A-P-H. The other boys joke about the extra letters he's crammed into it, pronouncing it "bar-OH-graph."
• Connor is asked to spell "gnaw," and with full confidence, he spells it N-G-H-A-W. Garnt and Joey are surprised that he could get it this wrong, and joke that his odd spelling makes it sound like he is gnawing on something in the process. This went to win "Dumbest Quiz Answer" for the 2nd Awardw!
• Garnt is presented the word "aspersions," but he mishears it and confirms "was it Asperger's?" Everyone breaks down laughing, and they can't cover this by editing it out.

After Dark Stream 12: Ranking Every Country's Beers

• The episode is supposed to involve the boys identifying beers per country. Hilarity Ensues and some personal Epic Fail ensue:
  • Garnt, despite his gut feeling of recognizing "the taste of hangovers," fails to recognize the beer from Thailand.
  • Joey, for that matter, fails to recognize when the Japanese beer (Yebisu) is served.
  • The most notorious part, however, has to be their blind-testing a beer that for some reason they liked (and even granted scores of 7 or 8/10), only to realize, to their horror, that it's Budweiser (especially in light of their periodic clowning of America, and their collective agreement—together with Sydney—that American beers tend to be A Tankard of Moose Urine). You almost feel like their collective bad scoring of Miller immediately after (another American brand) is both out of relief and spite. This moment got several nominations across the 2nd Awardw, eventually winning "Best Moment"!

After Dark Stream 13: Which One of Us Is Better At English?

• This episode is Countdown-styled, and they are given a conundrum round where they have to unscramble a series of letters into a proper word with a hint to assist. One of the rounds that has completely stumped them gives the scramble "LIKEWANG," with the hint "A bit soft," prompting opportunities for crude humor. The answer is "weakling."
• On the third word round, Joey forms "Stand" from the letters, and everyone briefly goes wild from excitement. He then realizes that he could also fit an "o" at the end for "STANDO."
• The final conundrum gives "TITSLUBE" and the hint is "My grandma needs this." ("Subtitle") The bonus conundrum gives "SNAGTITS" with the hint "Give them a nibble." ("Tastings")

After Dark Stream 17: Proving that We're DUMBER Than 5th Graders

• Question 1 is supposedly a no-brainer: "How much time does the Earth take to revolve around the sun?" Joey's "365 and 1/4 days" gets the point while the other two, "365 days" and "365 (366 on a leap year)" don't. Immediately they start arguing over how pedantic they have to get.
• Question 4 is "what does AM and PM stand for?" Connor's answer is "AAAAAAA Morning!" and "Phew! Morning's over"
• Question 8 is "name the city that was built on seven hills." The answer is "Rome," and everyone is a little stumped as to how they're supposed to know that. Meanwhile, chat snarks that Garnt should have known it because "it's in Fate lore" even though it's a ridiculously trivial detail, and jokes about him being a "fake Fate fan." Nabi, offscreen, goes on a flabbergasted rant.
• Connor, in typical fashion, gives the answer of the question "what was the first animal to go to space?" as "MONKEY." When it was revealed that a dog came first and the monkey went after, he gives a priceless response: "What, to go and get the dog?"

After Dark Stream 21: Rating American Girl Scout Cookies

• Things get off to an amazing start when Joey says that Connor's "tea ASMR" sounds like someone at a urinal, then has him take another long sip and "Ahhhhhhs".
• "L + Ratio" becomes a Running Gag throughout, usually referring to Connor's takes.
• When the boys are trying to puzzle out whether or not Girl Scout cookies are actually made by Girl Scouts:
  Connor: Apparently they're child labor so the Scouts can get money. Sounds good, I'm always up for that.
• When they're told that the first cookies are sometimes called Tagalongs:
  Joey: Tagalongs? What are they, Filipino?
• Joey clowns on Garnt for how picky he is about the hardness of cookies, especially when they get to the 7th cookie.
  Garnt: This is way too hard for me.
  Joey: Do you have a jaw?
• While trying the 8th cookie:
  Garnt: This is the My Hero Academia of cookies. It's inoffensive, it does everything it needs to do, it's not amazing, it's not incredible...
  Joey: I'll finish this one, but I won't reach for the second one. Just like My Hero Academia, right?
  [Ashley hands them the package]
  Garnt: [while they're trying to suss out the cinnamon in the cookie] All I'm saying is, Deku is a cinnamon bun...
  Connor: Shut up.
  Joey: Oh, dude, the package is green just like Deku's hair!
• After they try the Thin Mints, the Twitch chat started a poll called "is connor right?" The winning option: "L + ratio + hair fell off".
• Garnt gets an amazing burn on Connor, which he even gets a laugh about:
  Connor: Do you understand these best by dates? I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
  Garnt: Yeah, I know. That's why you always get food poisoning, Connor!
• The cookie with the citrus in the middle calls back to the chicken debate, with Connor and Garnt stridently against each other and Joey both laughing and looking like he'd rather be somewhere else.
• Connor's insistence on wanting a PB&J sandwich that's specifically American, with American ingredients, made by an American and while eating one in America elicited an incredulous reaction from both Garnt and Joey who basically told him that it's just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich anyone can actually make. This led Connor to go on a tangent on how he wants the experience and immersion of eating the sandwich while in America and insists that it's not a PB&J unless it's all American and biting into it makes him remember his "American Kindergarten experience," to the increasing exasperation of Garnt and Joey.

After Dark Stream 22: We Tried To Guess Songs By Their Lyrics?

• Question 4, which asks about the lyrics from "Baby One More Time," gets the wrong answers "Baby One Time" from Garnt and "Touch Me Baby" from Connor. Garnt tries to argue to get the point as he did say the title correctly but accidentally missed a single word from his written answer, and Connor strongly refutes it. After agreeing that they have to get the song title completely to earn the point, question 6 asks about the lyrics to "Feel Good Inc." but Connor only writes "Feel Good" and doesn't get the point due to the agreement that he argued for. He then tries to argue around this rule that he helped established.
• A blink-it-and-you'll-miss-it moment during Question 5 when Joey starts talking aloud to himself to Ashley's bemusement.
  Joey: Is this an Arctic Monkeys song or is this a different artist?
  Ashley: It's an Arctic Monkeys song.
  Joey: No, no, the song title I have in my head—I don't know if it's an Arctic Monkeys song.
  Ashley: *quietly* I... cannot read your mind.
• The sponsorship segment where they promote an air purifier and Joey starts sniffing a sock containing something with an odd and sour smell. It's filled with cat poop, sourced by their manager Meilyne.

After Dark Stream 25: We Role-played in an Isekai ft. DEMONDICE

The boys play out a KonoSuba-style tabletop RPG, with Karen "Demondice" Calanni as the Dungeon Master. Enough shenanigans happen that make the oneshot befit an actual Konosuba episode.

---

• First comes the character introductions:
  • Joey's mage is named Dee Z. Nüts. She's on a quest to reclaim a stolen magical artifact "Bofa." Karen actually falls for the "bofa" joke.^note Bofa deez nuts! Connor is a little miffed that he went to great lengths to craft his character's backstory while Joey built to a juvenile joke.
  • Connor's priest is his type — a 40-year-old woman, in search for a Fountain of Youth to stay at her prime age of 40.
  • Garnt's warrior is an actual isekai protagonist, with the super generic name "Taro Yamada."^note Joey likens the name to be the Japanese equivalent of "John Smith." He's a failed Twitch streamer who got SWATted by enraged shonen fans, and seeks to reclaim the fame and glory that he once lost, one way or another.
• The session starts with Taro's death and reincarnation. Karen extrapolates the sequence of events — he didn't die to getting tackled to the ground, but from his Aqua figure falling off his shelf onto his head at the time.
• While Taro is getting his bearings he gets greeted by a strange, deliberately annoying, animal mascot with a British accent. He has an Overly Long Name but also goes by the alias "Weedspagon." His master, Ringo, also has an absurdly long full name.
  • Weedspagon's random narrations and quipping quickly start irritating the boys, and they begin considering ways to get rid of him. Even when he perks up with an opportunity to help the party fill in gaps in their skill set, they're very reluctant to accept his help.
• Taro is quickly introduced to the other characters via caravan — Mira being transported as a captive to bandits, and Dee just going along with it to gain info about Bofa. While Taro consults Weedspagon on how to rescue Mira, Weedspagon straight up encourages him to attack them. Taro instead just opts to casually give one of the bandits a tight slap. When the encounter starts, Taro looks to also smack the uninterested Dee, who quickly negotiates terms for cooperation.
• While everyone is ready to fight, Mira opts to escape by herself. Connor fumbles, causing Mira to fall off and get a concussion, forcing Dee to go untie and patch her up herself. Taro starts to reconsider rescuing her.
  Garnt: Maybe not every maiden is worth it.
  Joey: Maybe maidenless is okay.
• Early Game Hell and the boys not properly applying the effects of their skills lead to the party struggling a little with the first encounter. Taro misses his first two attacks and does a mediocre amount of damage on his third, and then proceeds to lose about half his max health from a single hit. Meanwhile, Dee loses all her health but, with some DM intervention, hangs on at a Last Chance Hit Point. Joey and Garnt compare the experience to Dark Souls and Elden Ring respectively.
• After one of the bandits is felled and the other one flees, Taro asks for "a pog," and Garnt is a little confused that Dee, given her silly name, doesn't know what it is. Weedspagon chimes in since it's part of his full name, so Garnt asks him to demonstrate. Weedspagon says "it's complicated" and it starts with "you make a special face," and requests for the Twitch chat to demonstrate. They don't.
• When they discuss the currency of the world, Taro recalls that his home world ran off "Dogecoin." He then goes and suggests if the world of Konosuba has a currency "involving a token you can't funge." Connor is irritated enough to change the topic.
• The party hits up the adventurer's guild at the nearest town — but due to level restrictions they're forced to settle with a shady-looking one run by "Idiot Swordsman" Ringo. Ringo's got a thick accent much like Weedspagon's. Ringo reveals that he's a reincarnated person from Earth and was a former fan of Taro's. He's oddly cavalier over the fact that he's died and reincarnated 5 times, and a concerned Taro wonders if death is even a concept to him.
• They browse the quests available: A goblin extermination quest (which Joey and Garnt are very wary of), a lake purification quest (much like one that happened in Konosuba proper), and a highly-rewarding but risky monster-slaying quest. They end up taking the second quest, largely due to Mira perking up at the chance of the poisoned lake being a potential fountain of youth.
• The party talks to a young merchant for healing potions, who greets them with a heavily-accented "Whotta ya boyin', boys?" They painstakingly expend a significant amount of money for a healing potion that heals Dee for a pittance of health. Taro gathers the other two for a strategy meeting and considers straight-up stealing the rest of the kid's stock of healing potions, while Dee suggests straight-up killing him without other prompting. Eventually they decide to get Mira to distract the merchant while Taro sneakily swipes the potions, and when Garnt suggests using her feminine charms to keep him occupied, Joey starts chanting "Tits! Out! For the boys! Tits out for the boys!"
• As they set off to the lake they realize they don't know the directions. Mira tries praying to god to learn the location, but decides against it since the difficulty level is too high. Garnt consults the manual to see what is in the adventurer's pack and finds a compass that they desperately need... and some rope, which he jokingly suggests to use to reincarnate into another world.
• They wander to a cave and Taro spies a pitfall right in front of the cave. Garnt asks for the difficulty rating to disarm the trap, and when he's told that it's a moderate rating he asks if they can just get around the pitfall without disarming it. Connor's response is "Well, it wouldn't be a very good trap, now would it?"
• Mira tries to learn a spell to help support the others, and Connor rolls three consecutive sixes in this attempt. The irony is not lost on the boys.
• Garnt asks to learn a new skill "Flash of Reincarnation," where Taro can use common sense from modern Earth to break out of a bad situation. Karen reminds him that it's a once-per-scenario skill, so he only gets "one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, cause opportunity comes once in a lifetime."
• As they fend off the alligators in the lake, it's down to one and they need a decisive blow to save time. Garnt is reluctant to use any of his MP for his best skills in case he needs it later, despite having performed very poorly in the prior encounters so far. Joey and Connor begin insulting his conservative tactics.
• At the climax of the episode it's revealed that Ringo wanted the party to purify the lake so that he can kill them right after and take the credit all to himself, bringing out a powerful crocodile god to help him. Weedspagon also betrays the party to give their blessings to him. Mira tries to convince Weedspagon to work with them instead (Joey whispering "Tits! Out! For the boys!" to this) and is coerced into promising Weedspagon a date in return for his cooperation. Meanwhile, Taro gets bored with all this chit-chat and attacks the crocodile god anyway.
• Partway through the encounter, Mira loses all her mana through a DM intervention, and grovels as hard as she can to "God" to get some of it back to keep the battle from going completely awry. While she's doing this, Garnt and Joey are chanting the Halo theme and break out the beat drop once Mira succeeds.
• As a reward for defeating the episode boss, the characters each get what they set out for. Dee finally finds Bofa, and describes it in uncomfortable detail. One of the staff members, off-screen, reminds the cast that Dee is fifteen.

The 24-Hour Charity Stream

• They have a donation leaderboard, with the top of the leaderboard being titled the "Sigma." A donor named "cum" claimed the top spot leading to the whiteboard reading "Current Sigma: cum." Ironmouse came in to dethrone this donor, only for them to quickly retake it with a donation of $6,969.
• Throughout the stream, they all intermittently run into the issue of accidentally writing on the whiteboard with a permanent marker instead of a whiteboard marker, much to their continued annoyance.
• "What's In the Box?": The boys take turns reaching into a box and attempt to discern the item they're touching.
  • Their penalty for guessing wrong is to give Chris a compliment.
  • Meilyne's contributions to the round are all sticky or slimy items, and given what she's done before they're all constantly concerned about feeling a turd.
  • Garnt's first item is a rubber duck, but his thought process is influenced by the sex toys Sydney's been ordering, and is hoping that it's not a butt plug.
  • Joey's first item is a blob of slime, but in his panic he exclaims "is this a prolapse?!"
  • Garnt's fourth item is the most infamous of all: "a lubed Among Us?!"
  • Joey's fourth item is a dollop of Nutella, and his utter disgust at its texture is priceless. He immediately asks Meilyne if it's an oily shit.
  • Garnt's fifth item is a small pastry, but he ends up destroying it while trying to examine it.
  • Connor's fifth item is a pile of salt, but it's very hard to see on camera and the chat immediately guesses "nothing." After the other boys write out what the answer is, chat jokes about it being other powdery items like "cocaine" or "copium." Connor comes close to the right answer but chokes at the last moment, guessing "sugar."
• Round 2 of the Spelling Bee, after Chris Broad joined the stream:
  • Chris gets "wry," but quickly and confidently spells R-Y-E. Joey's a little stunned, since the bread is entirely different from the adjective.
  • Everyone is shocked at the sudden Difficulty Spike from "lucid" at the very start to "wain," "wry" and "cede" right after.
  • Joey gets "caulk," and the definition doesn't help avert the immature humor. Everyone's kept a straight face, but chat sure didn't.
  • A word that catches everyone off-guard: "aitch," pronounced just like the letter "H." Ashley is laughing maniacally in the background.
  • Yet another disorienting word: "ell," pronounced just like the letter "L." The boys immediately joke that Connor will take the L from this.
  • Garnt is given "aioli," and is not familiar with the word. Joey says it's because he doesn't eat condiments.
  • Connor misspells "ignominious," and blames the pronunciation for making it sound like there's an A in there. Joey and Garnt start exaggerating the pronunciation of the "o" in the word, calling back to "baroughgraph" from the previous Spelling Bee.
  • Whenever Connor gives a sentence to contextualize the word he's getting Garnt to spell, it always involves him being on the toilet.
  • After the Spelling Bee ends and they're all chilling, Garnt grabs a couple of bananas off-screen and gives one to Joey who awkwardly holds it as he's reading out a large donation. After a moment...
    Joey: Why did you give me a banana?
• They take on a "You Laugh You Lose" challenge and one of the clips is Sakura Miko singing to the ARK boating music. Everyone is completely dead-faced during the sequence, and Garnt only almost laughs because of how everyone looks. Chris even caps off the clip with "The fuck is that?" This even made it to one of the nominations for "Best Out-Of-Context Clip" in the 2nd Awardw.

After Dark Stream 26: We Handled DANGEROUS Australian Wildlife

• The hosts take note of the elaborate set and improved lighting and visual quality provided by Twitch Australia's studio. Later in the stream, Garnt adopts a particularly wide-eyed expression that gets rendered to an uncomfortable amount of detail.
• The boys' experience with the reptiles.
  • Garnt gets enamored by the blue-tongue lizard.
  • Andrew (the animal handler) bluntly tells Joey that yes, should a python feel sufficiently motivated it will exert enough crushing force to kill a human… and then asks him if he wants it wrapped around his neck.

After Dark Stream 29: The WORST Pictionary Game Ever Played

• Garnt's habit of saying anything that comes into mind without processing. One of the later ones takes the cake:
  [Connor is in the middle of drawing something related to YouTube and Asia]
  Garnt: Suicide f—no.
  [Connor, very slowly, turns to face Garnt with the most WTF expression on his face]]
• Garnt and Joey manage to draw each other images that they both correctly guess the meaning of within seconds much to everyone's incredulity^note  ("dark timeline" and "orange", from a straight line and a featureless round fruit, respectively).

After Dark Stream 30: Guessing Video Games By Sound Is IMPOSSIBLE

• Before the quiz begins they go into a story where Connor picked up the company iPad and decided to kill time with whatever eroge he could find. One eroge he found had a mechanic that locks the good ending behind a paywall, which everyone found appalling.
• One of the sounds is clearly a shotgun firing, but Joey suspects it might be a door opening. The other two start laughing over what kind of door opens so violently.
• All three fail to get the Among Us kill sound effect. When the staff reveals the answer, they tell Garnt "you're sitting on it" and it dawns on the boys as he retrieves the Crewmate plushie. Garnt shamefully declares "[they] can't meet Disguised Toast again" for this failure.
• Everyone else has been clowning on Garnt for slipping back into his Genshin Impact addiction. When the quiz actually gets to playing the gacha pull sound effect from the game itself, Garnt is irritated by the staff looking at him expectantly and giggling to themselves.
• All three get bamboozled by the Westminster Chimes from Danganronpa, and Joey and Connor mistake it for that from Five Nights at Freddy's. Joey and Garnt are really miffed that the sound effect is so ubiquitous in Japanese school settings that it could be lifted from nearly any eroge. When they ask the staff to compare the effects from both games side-by-side, the staff accidentally plays the chimes from Big Ben.
• Question 21 is excited squealing. Garnt argues that his wife Sydney could have made these sounds, and his answer is "A weeb." When they learn that it's from Don-chan of Taiko no Tatsujin, they argue that nobody would be able to recognize Don-chan in an arcade due to the sheer noise of everything else.
• When Connor has no good answer, he keeps guessing Final Fantasy, reasoning "theres 15 of them, he's bound to get one somehow."
• Question 26 is the scream from Dialga, but it's so nondescript that it could be a scream from almost anywhere, including Tom and Jerry. Joey makes a remarkably accurate impression of Tom's screams.

After Dark Stream 31: Tasting Wine From EVERY Country

• Sydney's less-than-stellar attempts to defend her "all sports are the same" take before they even start tasting the wines.
• They don't have actual eye masks so they instead use standard pandemic facial masks as blindfolds. Late in the stream, after they're good and tipsy, Garnt looks at Connor wearing his "blindfold" and calls him "a budget NieR: Automata character".
• As you might expect from the stream title, everyone gets really drunk really quickly. Special mention should be made to Garnt:
  Joey: Three more left. So that means [...] what's left is Argentina, France, and one other country.
  Beat
  Garnt: ...Huh?
• Connor makes up an entire narrative on the spot about his alleged sommelier friend John Pierre III (later renamed John Perrier III) who taught him wine-tasting.
• One of the last wines they try is a $500 bottle of Dom Perignon... and all of them think it tastes horrible.

After Dark Stream 33: We Tasted & Ranked EVERY Bread

Naturally, Garnt's "all bread tastes the same" take is put to the test here and he would be the subject of a lot of clowning in this stream.

---

• Before they even get started, Garnt gets upset when he sees that the interns took him at his word when he asked for vinegar as something to put on the bread, unaware that he meant balsamic vinegar.
• While Connor and Joey eat the bread plain first to judge it fairly, Garnt keeps going for butter to put on his bread, which the other two object to.
• Garnt struggles a little to describe shokupan as more than just "bad bread", and realizes this is how Connor feels when he tries to describe anime and music.
  Connor: How are you so eloquent describing a 12-year-old kissing a man in anime, but you can't explain this at all?
• When they talk about oyakodon (chicken cutlet and egg on a rice bowl) they translate it as "sibling bowl" which piques Garnt's interest jokingly.
• With pain au traditionnel, they get informed of its proper French spelling and joke about it.
  Garnt: Pain traditionnel, that's what I'm in right now.
• Chiffon bread is so spongy that it's basically cake, and Garnt would rather prefer to eat it with icing or other sweet things. Connor remembers that Garnt doesn't like condiments, and Garnt quickly backs himself up by making jam and butter exceptions.
• Chat calls chocolate bread "not bread", and Connor starts arguing with them. The same happens with maple french bread. But when they reach macadamia chocolate bread, Connor is utterly confused and agrees with chat that it isn't bread.
  Connor: Chat, it's bread with chocolate in it, what do you mean? If it's bread with chocolate — what do you mean "that's cake", you're literally describing bread and cake!
• As they cut into the maple french bread, it oozes maple syrup everywhere.
  Garnt: Holy shit, it came everywhere.
  Joey: Garnt, please.
  Garnt: That's what happens when you don't use a bidet, man.
  Joey: *laughing* That's me when I had the stomach flu.
• About halfway through, Garnt asks for wine, but the one the interns get for him has gone noticeably bad. Turns out it was a leftover bottle from the wine tasting special months prior.
• While talking about melon bread, Connor mentions the absurd sugar content in it and would only eat it if he needs a large surge of energy, like while cycling. Garnt suggests to get an energy jelly packet, and Connor dislikes that because "it's like cum in my mouth". Joey does a Double Take, and Connor doubles down on his take.
• Connor gets "flashbacks" with the cinnamon roll, given how he frequently gets Cinnamoroll plushies for Ironmouse whenever he plays crane games.
• Garnt is put off by cinnamon rolls because the glaze "makes it look like they got bukkake'd on". Connor really wishes he didn't hear that.
• After Connor is disappointed with the sweeter breads, calling them pastries and saying "they don't taste like bread", Garnt comes to the conclusion that it's Connor who wants all bread to taste the same! When Connor dislikes brioche for it tasting like "buttery bread," Joey even concurs that Connor should be clowned on!
• They get to the more complex breads, like the blueberry mascarpone bread and mentaiko cheese bread, and rate each one horribly. When they get to the fig and cream cheese bread, they are exasperated with how Japan keeps shoehorning cheese into bread.
• At the end, the one "bread" they ranked at the topmost tier is the cinnamon roll, a pastry!

After Dark Stream 34: Trash Taste Valentine’s Day Special

• The first activity is a The Newlywed Game-type quiz game.
  • Question 1 (to Joey) is "You have the house to yourself all day. What do you do?" Garnt and Connor immediately think of "jacking off". Joey has to clarify that isn't an answer...although they all agree it'd be right. Question 10 is "What is [Joey's] ideal vacation?" to which Garnt and Connor again jokingly answer "jacking off."
  • Question 5 is "What is [Joey's] biggest fear?" Garnt correctly answers "heights." Connor's answer is "Goblin"... "gobblin' deez nuts!"
  • Question 11 is "What is [Connor's] worst habit?" Joey and Garnt answer "Not buying clothes" and "Wearing the same shirt" respectively to riff on how Connor keeps wearing the same set of clothes.
  • Question 12 is "What emoji best describes [Garnt]?" Joey gives him what he describes is a "gigachad" emoji. Connor, on the other hand, describes him with the nerd emoji. Meanwhile, chat was spamming the clown emoji.
