"I fcking love Demon Slayer but it's the same reason why I watch porn."
Thank you for Connor. I was always looking for the best way to describe how I like Demon Slayer.
So... weekly seeing demon heads getting cut off = post-nut clarity and move on?
I watched the movie the other day. It was entertaining but it didn't leave any impact. The animation is the only thing carrying this show tbh. The story is interesting enough but it's nothing special.
Connor be lovin' that climax.
@@sirravixfourhorn7681 i watched the tv series after the movie.
imo, it was way better
also i think it would have popped off way more if the movie didnt exist, not that i would know lol
it was good, but no impact as you said btw
@@FaerieHijacker animation quality
I agree with Garnt's theory. When things are simplistic and small, it's a lot easier for them to be enjoyable. Around 2014 is when things started to grow rapidly and more and more companies and money were pouring into social medias with youtube getting bought by google and others having the same thing happen. This created a divide from the website itself and the people who use it. It's like going from a farmer and a village chief, where the village chief knows everyone in the village personally, to an emperor and one of his many subjects. Might be a weird analogy but I think it holds up.
It is also the year Gamergate happened.
That analogy sounds like what happens to the village in mother 3
Yeah i'm siding with Garnt on this one than on Connor's theory. I was also thinking that it's even earlier than 2014 but the transition wasn't really that noticeable
@@kosakos1999 that and a bunch of other crap that put politics into hyper drive and the nuances behind complicated stances were brushed aside by people who were desperate to be right 100% of the time no matter what, even though the nuanced discussion has more value than and spectrum or horseshoe argument.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) Why even bring this up? Are you that desperate for attention?
I remember when I used to watched Britain's Got Talent, and in the semi-finals one year there was this guy who would balance on a wooden plank resting on a free moving cylinder with no support, and over the course of his act he would continuously build this tower underneath him from chairs or scrap which became more and more perilous, all while staying perfectly balanced, occasionally pretending to fall. Then his glamourous assistant would set fire to the tower and chuck him an electric guitar which he struck a few power chords on to close out the act.
He didn't make the final because more people voted for the carbon copy kids dance troupe act you see half a dozen of every year.
Then I stopped watching Britain's Got Talent.
Do you know what year that was?
@@stephenjames1695 lol no, it was probably close to a decade ago.
The sacred riana got unfairly eliminated at bgt so yeah that's my reason why when a contestant got eliminated on live tv, that show gets shutdown and the host for example Britain's got talent a fine or life imprisonment or worse they cannot air reality shows indefinitely without a license
Not having an intro for this one felt weird. However, the abrupt end of the episode made me realise that maybe the recording has just been split into two episodes since we are building backlog for recording hiatus soon.
Oh maybe, I can see that. But I feel like no matter what, they probably just forgot to do intro and outro.
You can forget when recording multiple episodes and forget when recording only one.
Connor isn’t weird - that’s how the vast majority of us feel. People with extreme opinions are far more likely to broadcast them, then other people pretend to agree for internet points and /or to avoid public shaming. So it badly skews the picture of what people actually believe. In reality, most people are reasonable and can agree on common sense and basic ethics, it’s just that we all think we’re alone in a sea of maniacs.
Absolutely my friend! Still, it's very difficult to remember that sometimes.
Disagree. The amount of people that lack self-awareness and the will power to overcome their ego and come to terms that what they stand for is objectively wrong is astoundingly high. So many times you argue with someone that they're wromg and provide the facts that prove so, and they somehow wound twisting reality itself so their illusion of whats right stays intact.
@@revenger211 just don’t engage sadly it’s a waste of time and effort.
That view is highly dependent on your age. These boys were too young to know what it was before they entered the online environment.
@@ka-lan it is and I wish critical thinking skills were something widely developed from a young age so people don't reach the critical levels of holding the dangerous opinion I had the experience of reading.
Connor: *baffled by people talking about p🌽rn with their real face as their pfp*
Connor and the boys: *have talked about p🌽rn several times on the podcast with their real faces on video*
What does p corn rn mean? Pee corn right now? :^)
Think about all the vids they made with Shibuya Kaho
@@abura2980 It's short for people of the corn like children of the corn, but I understand the confusion 😌
@@bagofluck3686 I was just kidding I know what you meant lol
@@abura2980 lol I figured it was all in good fun. Just wanted to play along :)
The whole "mid" conversation made me realise how much our ratings have become compressed. Personally, when I used to maintain a MAL account I only ever rated anything from 5-9. If it was 5 or under it got dropped or never even got a chance in the first place. And I only gave like 2 or 3% of anime I watched a 10. So realistically I was rating on a 5 point system instead of a 10 point system, and I think a lot of other people do too.
Yes cuz you have the option to stop and it’s much harder to walk out of a cinema
This is why I personally like the 10 point system but with 1-5 range. It makes it much more clear that 3 is average, and to convert you just double the number basically.
Made it a 100 likes
I would love to know what they edited out because that last segue with the patrons was super abrupt and the boys look exhausted giving the sign-off. RELEASE THE SNYDER CUT!!
prob cuz they were doing the episodes in bulk becuz they are about to go to barnt and sydney's wedding and other places
@@XxxX-kg2pm Barnt is a new one lmao

I totally get the "not being able to adress something properly" situation or how I like to call it the "Damn, why didn't I come up with that back then while standing under the shower" situation.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) Damn, you really like your own comments?
Also I feel like he's also trying to explain the fact that he can only argue against the other guys because they're the ones he's talking to, so if someone in the viewership thinks he has a "dumb" take they will create a counter argument in their heads or comment it and got off thinking they're smart but Connor or the other guys might have had another counter argument to that which he obviously can't express to this random person.
The shower and the toilet seat just makes you realize all the best ways to make the argument understandable.
Lol true (also, fuck the first troll reply)
@@pennyinheaven or when you're going to sleep
Garnt's right. Politicians try to prove others wrong instead of making themselves right. That is happening to Philippines rn.
And on social media there’s this conflict between BBM supporters and Leni supporters.
@@shroobzzz hence imo who ever wins is the biggest loser as the country will be more divided.
@@exia0616 I just hope we filipinos are mature enough to set aside the differences after the election and know that unity is not attainable through election. it's if people are willing to unite and respect the result of our democratic practice for the betterment of the country.
@@shroobzzz more like BBM vs everyone lol
The harsh truth is, nothing is definitively right or wrong, but many people are only interested in right and wrong, say if Trump actually tell you all the pros and cons of building a Mexican border wall, calls the public to study more into the subject and decide whether his idea is worth supporting, most people would lose their mind, pro-Trump people would be confused by some of the implications that they have never think before and that its not a perfect solution, while anti-Trump people would have to accept the fact that they need to look into his reasoning rather than calling him racist, given that they are genuinely interested in the matter. A big portion of voters would rather believe in slogans (that includes "the counterparty is wrong") than to think about all the reasoning and implications behind a simple option of for or against, and we give ourselves the excuse of not looking into important matters, like being busy from work, despite holding the most important type of power within the political system.
Hearing Garnt mishear "pawn stars" on the podcast and stream feels surreal.
What? Explain pls
yeah garnt really really showed how fuckin unintelligent he was on this one, which is rough because he hands down has the single most infuriating fking laugh i have EVER heard in over 30 years, this fkin kid sounds like he's a 400 pound asthmatic fishman gasping for fking oxygen while trying to imitate a seal EVERY SINGLE TIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING REMOTELY AMUSING, i literally have had to start skippping anytime he starts laughing because he does it for so long and once you notice it it becomes absolutely fking INFURIATING beyond belief, he steamroll talks over everyone then when someone else interrupts him with something funny it's *GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP DURRRRR ADAM SEESSLER SEAL NOISES GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP* and then i contemplate stabbing my damn ear drums out.
As a 17 year old who grew up in this internet environment, it’s refreshing to hear from your guy’s perspective. These current algorithms honestly suck you into so many toxic rabbit holes, and listening to you guys who’ve seen this shift happen in real time puts a lot of things into perspective.
do you think Joey realizes that the "is he gay or European?" quote is from a song from the legally blonde musical?
Trash taste musical: Gay or JoJo fan
@@afteritsallsaidanddoneisti9285 isn't that the same thing?
Was just commenting on that. They're just calling him both lol
I didn't.
@@seraphwithatank6535 it's an older theatre meme. early to mid 2000s i think. it's a repeating lyric in one of the songs but it became a sort of meme in among musical and theatre people. it's a funny quote both in and out of context.
has anyone even noticed how the editor just edits himself in connor's mug at 22:11
How did I miss that
I think Mudan has said he does one of these in every episode, though this is the first one I've seen
nice catch
Mudan said he does this every episode, they're little easter eggs.
Nice
In my opinion, things become an addiction is when you plan your day and your future around the addictive thing. When you find yourself thinking about it throughout your day and find yourself prioritizing it over other things that might be important to you.
Job
Addiction is more of a “reward system” more than cognitive knowing it’s a threat. It’s very psychological and has to due to dopamine levels that make you experience a sensation you first felt when doing an action, in a sense chasing that high. A lot of people struggle with addiction because the more they want to experience that high, the more tolerance they develop and thus the more they need to do that action to get near that high that they will never experience again. Its very hard to control, and I hope those who need the help get what they need.
"Is the stock market a game?" As a person with a B.A in economics and courses at the graduate level in micro economics I immediately said "yes" and it's gambling too. :D
Nice lol
trader bros : It's not gambling ive strategy!!!
😐
Is derivative market a game? Well professional traders think its not because they are employed by JPM or DB, but in reality its just betting with more steps, you do a swap and that thing is full of betting, even when you try to hedge the risk its still full of betting, everyone here is trying to trick their counterpart into buying their risk, and the buyers? Betters of course.
First time I heard what stocks were was in high school when my teacher brought it up as a discussion, and I told my teacher “so it’s gambling” and he was so offended 🙄😂 Ok sir, you do what you want with your money but it is what it is lol
@@erika8349 Stock are gambling if you just wants the price to go up, but in other case its a good way to do business, M&A sometimes started with stock purchase, also having stocks increases your stake in other people's business, but to ordinary people its indeed purely gamble, while derivatives are like extra pure gamble, you end goal can only be achieved by gamble.
I never cease to be amazed at how natural and professional Connor is as a host. I think he could easily host some kind of talk show on TV
I really wish to be as chill and outspoken as Connor dude.
At this point he'd make less money doing that than chatting shit on trash taste
Trash taste > TV
I think he could be a good narrator for a nature documentary.
@@maineman5757 I would watch the hell out of the documentary. Would be amazing if it's super serious and high budget. I would be laughing my ass off listening to his voice with animals doing animal shit on the screen
19:53 This whole segment perfectly summarizes why English classes (or whatever your native language is) are SO IMPORTANT. People complain about how every major in university requires basic language credits, but it's because the ability to effectively convey your thoughts and opinions is an irreplaceable skill. that's what those classes (attempt) to teach you.
I was having my dinner when out of the corner of my eye at 22:10 I just saw the hidden Mudan in this episode. Feels like I got an achievement for finding a hidden Mudan on my first watchthrough of an episode even though this one is pretty obviously placed
I just commented the same thing. Glad other people saw it lol
Wow I didn’t even know this was a thing!
Personally I don't mind the "shorter" episode. I'd rather them not drag the discussion when they don't have anything to talk about, also we've been spoiled with 2hr+ episodes so i don't mind a few episodes being shorter in comparison.
I think it’s so short because they filmed then episode or two the same day before this one. You can tell, they look tired. Chances are they want a backlog before Garnts wedding
Chances are it’ll go up after the wedding
Tbh, I'm just too drunk to watch a longer episode anyways. :P
@@Dropkickurteacher they also lost 2 weeks because Garnt got covid so they have to restock the backlog
i 100% agree. i wouldn’t mind of there’s an episode of only an hour
@@Dropkickurteacher did Garnt already announced when is the wedding or not?
Oh wow I was kinda surprised when I saw them with their beards and thought "how did they grow back so fast?" but then I realized this was recorded before the 24h stream where they shaved them off ^^
the podcasts are usually recorded a few weeks before they air, so that they can have recording breaks for specials/holidays
@@wolfdemn I know, it just felt weird after JUST seeing them shave their beards off earlier because I was watching the VOD on twitch for half the day today ^^
they did WHAT!? sacrilege!!! NotLikeThis
@@brunosilva-ed4pz they turned themselves into LittleBabyMen again
When I shave, my stubble grows back on the 2nd or 3rd day. I also look so weird without a beard, I genuinely believe I'm meant to have it.
Connor worrying about his head when he loses his hair is 100% relatable. I had a VERYYY thick head of hair until I hit 30 and then it basically all fell out in about a year. I tried to keep it grown out because I wasn't ready to shave it. I finally caved and I look so much better than the patchy hair I was holding on to. Connor has good facial hair, so he'll be fine. It's definitely weird at first to like not feel a bunch of hair in your face or in your hand, but end of day if your barber is good they'll make you look good. Also my barber told me I should bleach and then toner my hair when it's shaved down because it'll look more even and is trendy right now.
Connor was extremely correct on how people care more about the way people talk versus what they are talking about and same with Garnt saying that the longer an opinion is written, the more people are just going to instantly trust it without even reading it. Sora The Troll made an absolutely amazing example on this. One time on a live stream, he made an example to where he talked about how he loved to eat his own shit but he did it in a very convincing and firm voice, and then he talked about him loving Justin Bieber, but in a shy and unconvincing voice.
I think what we often don’t realize and the scary thing about addiction is that sometimes people don’t feel they _are_ addicted. “Well I can still function. I can go to work, have relationships, etc. I’m not addicted.”. We kinda don’t think something is an addiction until it gets really really bad. I always hear stories about people who became alcoholics; they started drinking just as a way of rewarding themselves. They genuinely don’t realize it until it’s pointed out to them.
Alcoholism doesn't necessarily have a link with the quantity of alcohol you're consuming anyways, and that applies to other types of addiction as well. Someone who absolutely needs to drink one beer a day to function in their daily life is considered addicted to it. Obviously as you mentioned, yes, addiction can really sneak on you until it gets out of control and you have no other choice but to face it. But it's also deeply ingrained into how much it affects your daily life if you don't consume X substance, media, etc.
@@jellycatfish I think it's the best way determine addiction. It's when you don't do it or have it, and then feel like it's the end of the world or one cannot function anymore. You get anxious and worse have some kind of break down just because you didn't get to do that particular thing in a certain time or within the day.
Yup, it also sneaks up on you. I was addicted to opiates, mainly heroin and it started as something really cheap, it was great. The highs cost pretty much nothing, there was no hangover and I'd just do it once every two weeks or so. But that became "might as well do it on the weekends!" and "and other days off... okay friday too" and so forth, until you're doing it every single day. It sneaks up and can happen SO fast.
It’s really hard for addicts to get out of it too ): A family friend suffered from being an alcoholic and the doctors warned her that she would die if she didn’t quit. She went to rehab I think twice but always fell back into depression and started drinking. One day her mother passed away and she died drinking herself to death a few months later. My mom knew it would kill her one day but there was nothing she could say or do to make her stop. That’s why it’s important for people to be careful and be self-aware when consuming food, drinks, prescriptions, or content that is not “good” for you. Meaning, if it negatively affects your mental or physical health, your job, your personal life, family, etc. then you need to stop and see a medical professional.
I also love how Connor rags on the American pronunciation of Pawn Stars while even his fellow Englishman misunderstood him.
It doesn't help that the Pawn Stars guys had a game show spin off called Pawnography.
@@trapperscout2046 I also feel like the title "Pawn Stars" itself was definitely a tongue-in-cheek joke lol.
You guys always talk about the most real shit. It's like you put into words how I exactly feel about the internet and politics. Keep it coming 👏🏼
As embarassing it is to admit, i want to thank trash taste for opening my eyes to *culture* addiction. It helped me try to get out and i needed to say thank you.
Damn we got a short episode here
probably because they're mass recording sessions as the boys are preparing to leave for the wedding
I mean I guess.. but crazy how an hour and a half of something is short nowadays 😂
There’s no intro and the first topic seemed pretty advanced to be the first. Pretty sure they cut a significant amount of the episode for whatever reason
Trash Taste Fans: I want 2 hours for this episode
Trash Taste: The best I can do is an hour and 37 minutes.
@@Che1seabluesdrogba11 i think what he means to say here is that this episode is the shortest we have gotten in ages, as they usually record for around 2 hours.
@@_Helio_Art is this a re-upload? I've swear I've watched this already
The thing with the Jujutsu Kaisen movie is that it's essentially the pilot episode for the series. So if anything feels half-baked in the story it's because the manga is basically the Beta version of the main series.
Yeah, I viewed it like that and enjoyed it. I went in knowing it was the first thing released from the manga.
The movie was fun like as someone who's read the manga it's cool to see the build up, the "I can't wait till this is talked about aspect" that it builds. But from the view point of someone who hasn't read the manga it's just a that was cool kinda movie.

On the last point of "CZcams is the new TV": It is fascinating to me how in Germany almost all national (and even regional) pay-free subsidized broadcasting stations have one or even multiple CZcams channels and many have their own streaming media library. The last twenty years changed so much about how media is consumed. Mind-blowing🤯❗

@@HollowPurple-if2co Yeah this was filmed well before that
1:18:20 they kinda did that actually. I remember there was this 3 part crossover between pawn stars, its spin-off american restoration and a third one about two men who go throuhg america finding old stuff. It was this big storyline about finding, buying and restoring a vintage car that was the dream car of the old man from pawn stars. All as a gift for his 70th birthday.
Every week these bois impress with the good conversation.
I definitely agree that politics has become less of proving why you're good and more of proving why others are wrong. It's like people think it's the same when that's not always the same.
Especially in the US theres this problem where none of the parties are interested in doing policies for the people, so its just a mud fight / a fight over the culture war (aka irrelevant ass shit)
Like instead of
you know, admitting that they’re wrong and trying to better themselves by listening to their people and their valid criticisms, they just say “you’re wrong and I’m right because I have more power than all of you”.
The internet has gotten people too comfortable with being rude or stupid. On the plus side its given us unforgettable memes--a not so fair trade but hey
And then people feel they have to go just that bit further.
Internet made people comfortabe with saing shit and not geting hit in the face for that
The internet is now at the point where no one use their brain to think for a second before throwing out death threats
True fun lol

The polarization on just about any topic is probably due to social media algorithms that, by their nature, create echo chambres simply by how they function. This has likely been an unintended consequence of them, and while they're good at figuring out what you like, we're definitely being split by the other side of that double edged sword.
They prioritize things that get you to click more. yup. so they click bait you with outrage and people end up angry enough to kill each other over nothing.
The algorithm promotes negativity and drama over nuance and reason. It is very much intentionally designed this way to get you addicted to keep scrolling.
It also only gets worse when people try to demonize either side of the spectrum, the algorithm basically just amps up the tribalism
Not unintended. The echo chambers are proven to have some of the highest engagement numbers of any strategy. The toxicity is unintentional though. That's a "user problem" from the platform's perspective.
I've read somewhere that negative emotion invokes stronger reaction than positive ones (might be survival instinct or something)
which is why clickbait and outrageous headline gets all the attention
“Proving others wrong doesn’t mean you’re the one in the right” oh hey that reminds me of that one arc in monogatari
Which
joeys take at 35:30 is the most sensible when it comes to addiction. It come down to dopamine; (or something sorry I'm drunk) when you feel pleasure dopamine is realeased and you want more of it b/c it's that awesome. So you continue to look for that feeling
Props to this episode short but full of good talk
Kinda weird having a Trash Taste episode this short nowadays. Felt like time really just flew by.
I thought they had to do minimum 2 hours
And this episode don't have intro - it just starts on topic. I think there is lost footage...
@@adelbertcadmer957 actually, that makes so much sense.
@@JohnSmith-fe6xk i think 2 hrs is their cap. They sometimes make 1-2 videos in one day so they would probably have to stop it once the 2hr-ish mark comes up.
The outro also was very rushed. Usually they start talking about their patrons
Damn this episode is like June 2020 level of short. Haven't seen a episode under 1 hour and 40 minutes and a while lmao
Probably still as good as the others tho.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) russian bot lmao (everyone report for terrorism and spam)
I think they already filmed an episode before this, this feels like just them trying to crank up productions so they won’t be behind when they leave for Garnt’s wedding, like you can tell this wasn’t their first film of the day. Still good tho
When someone leans toward an extreme mentality. It comes from a place of feeling like their issues and problems are ignored and want to be acknowledged and it comes with its benefits when they can find others who feel the same about the issue. The problem comes from themselves or others, dismissing their view points or put their problems on a tier list and devalue them for it. That leads to them doubling down and both sides point at the other as the problem. They feel like the other side is an enemy and those in the middle are all about compromise because now, they are to staunchly against the opposing side to want to see any points the others have be validated or the middle ground just tries to keep the status quo that only makes the middle look like apologists at best. Leaning hard comes with the risk of dehumanizing others and convincing ones self that the ends justify the means.
The ones in the middle tend to see the dehumanizing harsh extremes of the opposing view points and tend to understand and feel for both sides, but run the risk of being apathetic to the issue in order to appease everyone. Which does not satisfy anyone. But when done right. Middle ground and balanced view points are not actually the middle. They are just in between the opposing sides of the argument.
The reality is that when we put our emotions before the other person. We do the same apathetic devaluing of others as those we chastise. It does not matter if its religion, politics, racial issues, gender issues, or even just day to day stances on random stuff we cannot agree on. Assuming the worst in the other person or looking down on them for their opinion is the first step to your own self fulfilling hypocrisy if your not careful. But we are not perfect, and we all slip up from time to time. But that does not mean we need to be demonized for it, or the cycle just starts all over again. This is why its so easy for people to be manipulated when those that see the bigger picture want to profit from others, instead of wanting everyone to prosper
Sorry for the long post. I just want to help try and bring a nuanced perspective as best I could
While I generally agree with what you said, I find it really hard to keep an open mind and seek compromise with people who cannot give me a simple answer to the question "What is a woman?" and have successfully passed laws that compel me to use pronouns that do not match the biological sex of the person who I am to address, under pain of losing my job, getting fined and possibly sent to jail, all the while my kids are being encouraged at every opportunity to explore sexual deviancy at the ripe of all age of 7 in the far-left indoctrination centers we used to call schools, against my will and, until recently, knowledge.
I was partial to letting gay people marry and have a merry old of time of it. I wanted to live in an inclusive, tolerant and diverse world. I wanted to end racism and make the rules fair for everybody, I wanted us to plan carefully for the future so we don't wreck the environment for the sake of short term profits, I wanted to believe in a world brought closer together by the marvel of the internet, for cultural barriers to crumble, for people from all around the world to recognize each other's humanity and get along.
Instead all I got was a bunch of left wing fanatics with foolish ideas asking for my complete obedience and submission. I get cancelled for daring to suggest a teenaged girl should not bind her chest so tightly as to crush her ribs in an effort to flatten her breasts and "become a man". I cared for that girl's safety and future, I made my plea respectfully, and they called me a bigot and kicked me out of the echo chamber for my troubles. One day, any day now, a new hire could show up at my workplace and demand I betray my understanding of Truth, that I call a woman "he", or a man "she", when I KNOW it is not so, when I know it is not right. And should I refuse, my boss would have little choice but to fire me on the spot to avoid the Wrath of the Left.
Another time I simply stated I believe human life begins at conception, and that while I cannot prevent abortions from occurring in a country in which it is wildly accepted, I for one, would not encourage any woman to murder her own, and wouldn't have married one who would consider it an option to do so. Apparently now I hate women because I don't want little girls to die in the wombs of their mothers. Those who dehumanize human life at its earliest stages dare claim I wish to treat women as little more than factories for my progeny.
Yet another time, I dared suggest that black people should stop devaluing education as a "white value" (To be clear, many black people value education, but far far too many reject it "because that's what white folks do, stop being so white.") I thought those were self-defeating racist views they held, and that they should abandon them and recognize a good education is priceless for anyone of any race. And they called me racist, of course, for my trouble.
See I tried to be reasonable, I think. To give every side a fair hearing, to parse truths from lies, to be respectful and patient and considerate. To speak my mind with no ill intent. I gave it my most honest effort, and every single time, I am met with fanatical anger and utter rejection. I cannot bridge that giant chasm which has formed between the two halves of Western Civilisation. There doesn't seem to be a middle that is compatible with the "Mainstream Left" anymore. They have radicalized, so completely and utterly, that it's become really difficult to see them as anything but a twisted monolith of raw insanity and hatred, which at some point in the distant past might have stood for something decent, but has long since jumped the shark. Meanwhile conservatives, the "other side", while not perfect themselves, are speaking common sense and decency most of the time.
The choice seems rather clear to me at this point. The picture rather clean. There is a chasm. On one side there is a nightmarish godless fantasia or dead babies, Orwellian aspirations of reality subversion and thought policing, punctuated by hatred of the self and everything good and decent I have ever known... And on the other side it every sane human left on Earth, who may be liberal, may be conservative, or completely apolitical, but still all able to answer a simple question such as "What is a woman?" And still willing to have an engaging discussion and respect my views even when they diverge from mine in some respects.
I dare hope the people on the other side of the Chasm are still human enough to be saved from themselves. I hope they won't drag us into open war, and force me to shed my blood and theirs for the right to live in this world. But right now, it's looking rather grim. My words cannot reach them. They have much power and much will to use it to bully everyone into submission, and it seems they won't be satisfied until I and others like me cease to exist altogether.
@@liwendiamond9223 That's the thing. You cannot devalue people at all. Even when they do, or your no better a person then they are and only keep the cycle going. Its hard at times but giving up only helps keep the divide growing. You cannot just point fingers, because the problems you see are the same to them of you, from their perspective.
From the other side. They might see all the flaws from your end but fail to see their own. The only difference you can make is holding an olive branch regardless. Its hard to see you having a moral high ground if you end up villainizing them the same way they do to you, and I get it. I get put in a narrative all the time but the hardest pill people like that have to swallow is when you defend yourself without antagonizing them for making you out to be the villain and they will want to bait you with an angry retaliation speech. Because if you give them the same hate filled spite back. You only justify them the same way your justifying yourself to view them. Not to mention if your engagement is mostly online. Then yes you will get toxic attitudes back. Since many are probably young and don't know how to argue, or those that rely on the veil the internet gives them to express their emotionally driven opinions openly. Many of whom, fail to see the irony of them getting mad at you for expressing your opinion. Even though one is entitled to their opinion. That does not mean that there free of criticism. Boy have I had my fair share when I open my mouth in critique of others opinion or those who challenge my own.
But despite that. There are people that care. Who do want to talk openly without toxic attitudes. The problem is that we have political factions that prey on our fear and stoke our hate and pretend to care about our well being, while pushing the idea that the other side is unreasonable and convincing those in their fold that the ends justify the means. Even if it imposes on the "Others" rights. It happens for both sides when you consider the "Freedom" we are supposed to have and see if its being applied to the people of opposing viewpoint. Which seems to be something that people you deal with don't like to hear. Its a hard pill to swallow. But that pill can be handed right back to you the moment you give up on people.
You are just as important as anyone else. Regardless of how they treat you. But remember that both sides hold the same flaws if they both claim to be for everyone's benefit, yet put down others "To take back OUR freedom, They are not real (insert your plural country associated word here)". Compromise is never met not just because of the left. But also because the right has just as hard a time seeing eye to eye and... I realize I almost started quoting Eye to Eye from A Goofy Movie (Talk about mood whiplash, I am a dork) I don't mean to be assumptive. This is just something that I can relate too but understand that peoples minds can change. When you don't antagonize or give in to being antagonized. It's really hard to see the good that comes of it but remember that the most toxic within a group are not the ones making laws. Nothing is written in stone and its not as though we cannot change things for the better!
LiwenDiamond I agree with me st of your point but godamn who hurt you?
i love the release schedule, miserable from work or uni? trash taste, watch in a few sittings then when i'm half through, i have a stream love you lads
6:40 another creepy moment of Garnt and Joey sharing one brain cell
Damn
Weird and impressive at the same time
yeah garnt really really showed how fuckin unintelligent he was on this one, which is rough because he hands down has the single most infuriating fking laugh i have EVER heard in over 30 years, this fkin kid sounds like he's a 400 pound asthmatic fishman gasping for fking oxygen while trying to imitate a seal EVERY SINGLE TIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING REMOTELY AMUSING, i literally have had to start skippping anytime he starts laughing because he does it for so long and once you notice it it becomes absolutely fking INFURIATING beyond belief, he steamroll talks over everyone then when someone else interrupts him with something funny it's *GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP DURRRRR ADAM SEESSLER SEAL NOISES GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP* and then i contemplate stabbing my damn ear drums out.
If the three of them ever starred in their own anime, all three of them would be the main protagonists all at the same time.
First
It won't be any different because the podcast is already a slice of life anime and any specials are OVAs but canon
Now you're just commenting for the sake of it
For real though, thought seems like a hella cool idea for an anime/manga.
nah, garnts the mc bro
19:53 The amount of times I've had this feeling! If people could read eachother's minds then people could understand eachother a shit ton better
Connor wearing merch just reminded me to check my mail for updates on my merch order. Thanks.
It's funny how Connor says Joey looks like a hacker- since he does have an IT degree. Hide your NFTs before Joey the hacker man steals them
Joey is gonna screenshot us all (im not an nft owner dont @ me)
Joey dropped out iirc. Garnt and Connor have engineering degrees. Joey's dad was an IT iirc.
@@barneystinson2781 I’m pretty sure he graduated. I remember seeing pictures of his graduation in one of his older videos.
wasnt joey's degree in graphics design or something
Holy shit, only 15 minutes into the episode and these lads are already having a super intellectual conversation about social science...
Props to them for speaking about this and sharing their opinion!
@@mcnair435 Yeah... the boys definitely lack sociopolitical consciousness. Sad to see
@@andrewdiaz932 idk i think its smart of them to not bring any explicit political views into it. That's not what this is supposed to be and it shouldnt devolve into that. Maybe they talk about it differently in private.
The thing with “agree to disagree” is that it’s only valid on opinions like ‘which pie filling is better’ or ‘winter is the worst season’. But people try to use the agree to disagree argument on peoples rights to live. Agree to disagree doesn’t apply to human rights. You can’t ‘disagree’ with a person existence. And that’s why I refuse to let people end an argument with “let’s just agree to disagree”
This episode didn’t pop up on my homepage. I had to come looking for it
Besides what Connor said n I agree I feel like nowdays society "demands" everyone to pick a side or stand for something therefore when u don't or as Connor said "have normal opinions" people assume u r dumb or stupid or whatever. I just feel like people need to chill more.
Agreed. I often hear about the "if you're not with us then you're against us" mentality and that makes me so sad... there's not a lot of room for nuance at all.
@@PhillyEastSide Right, n the way I see things is like if u don't have nuance u don't question yourself n/or your reality which makes u basically a sheep like u don't really reflect or grow as a person.
@@anahelenaragao another very good point!
yea bcs more often than not, being a on one side extreme will solve nothing. I just wish people will see this more often
@@savstinks6847 yeah I wish it too.
“Common sense has become less common” that was pure gold
Idk I thought the dream part of Mugen Train was really good. It was a great way to build on Rengoku’s character since they had no realistic way of doing it organically at any other point. Plus I also thought Tanjiro’s scenes were really well done
my experience says that a good line to determine when a experience becomes an addiction is when it starts interfering with your regular life outside the experience, most often to a detriment.
When it's obsessive or coming up when it's not pertinent and irrelevant but feels necessary to pursue or else, then it's an addiction manifest.
"Really boring option that'll probably pay you back"
Oh hey, Connor knows about index funds!
a surprise to many, dudes actually an adult
I had a serious Deja vu when they had the whole Pawnstars vs p0rnstars moment here, after just hearing them do it on After Dark.
Yeah right. Can’t believe Garnt made the same mistake on the stream lol
Trash taste is one of the things I look forward to the most, thanks bois
joey's hair cut hits different!
looks awesome!!
The game became real when corporation proved the internet is profitable. The polarisations, the social media bots and content farms, the arms race find the next anger piece to undermine each other, are all traditional media's way of doing things. Individuals are also to blame for being polarised, but in our algorithm driven platform, it's much harder for individuals make level headed decisions in this climate.
The internet didn't become more of a shitshow. The internet just got the respect it deserved, and as a result, it reflects what we do in real life, except, like Connor said, everyone are given a platform, including those who is traditionally revels in the tribal mentality.
Basically it's as Serial Experiments Lain foretold about our digital lives being as important as our physical lives
*This* 👏
@@LouisSubearth the rush of nostalgia i just got, wow.
yesss this
It was an incoming problem before algorithms took over everything, or at least to the degree the run stuff now. I don't wanna be that guy but I saw it coming 10+ years ago, a process called cyberbalkanization or now known as the splinternet; which is the segregation of the Internet into smaller groups with similar interests, to a degree that they show a narrow-minded approach to outsiders or those with contradictory views. It was almost inevitable and it's crazy watching it come to pass and the ramifications it's had on real life, really sad. One of the big problems is its the 10% who are most vocal and speak for the group when if you removed that 10% I think you would find a more diverse lot of opinions rather than what most often devolves into diatribes.
You know its good when there is no intro and they go straight into it right away
Yep, it's better this way, the intro and outro are almost completely pointless.
Podcast flew by so fast, still enjoyed it as usual
great episode of the podcast, smashed it lads
Connor thinking the internet was brand new and better when he found it is the most young person thing ever. Bruh I used to dial into BBS' to download slow crappy pron jpgs. it was heaven.
I remember hiding the house phone, so I didn't have to worry about getting cut off.
waiting 1 hour to download a Limp Bizkit mp3 from Napster team rise up.
I was using the Internet before Connor was born.
With respect to working out when the internet went insane, targeted ads and videos started in 2012. I feel that ties together nicely time-wise
“The Great American Baking Show” sounds like a localised JoJo stand name.
This is made my day. You are 100% correct
When Connor said, "Watch it, I wanna talk about it."
I felt the Arcane topic coming at that moment. LOL. If Josh the Manga Lad won't see it, and Connor wanted to talk about it, I guess, make a separate video with just Garnt and upload it on your channel? I'm interested to see that as well.
Joey looks like he's ready for his elementary school photo, god bless
A short episode but it's gonna be a banger either way
My first thought too
I just enjoy listening to trash taste every week
I enjoyed this episode a lot! One of my favs yet. Not sure why though 😆
CDawgVA comparing Demon Slayer to Porn was hilarious.
i mean for me, i also skip to where the action is lmao
All flourish no substance can still be satisfying.
no offense, demon slayer is good overall, but the story is really average for me. and they keep rehashing the same sad sibling demon back story tropes.
agree
The thing with Jujutsu Kaisen Vs Demon Slayer is that Mugen Train was an actual arc in the middle of the story. For me I enjoyed Jujutsu Kaisen 0 more than Mugen Train purely because although it felt less significant to the overall story, the movie itself was just pure fan service for fans like me and it give a slight insight into how some side characters were like before the main story of JJK but not only that even people who has never seen JJK can enjoy it somewhat. Compared to Mugen Train, while it was a good movie it made the airing of the first arc of season 2 of Demon Slayer completely irrelevant to people like me say except the first episode.
You must not be caught up on manga for Jujutsu Kaisen
@@raulromero2948 haha yeah
love shibuya
@@raulromero2948 well anime watchers hardly had any idea about Yuta. They watch the movie and they like "yeah he cool but so what?". Tbh can't blame them if they think its fanservice. However, season 2 will have the payoff from the movie and season 3 even more. We just gotta be patient for everyone to truly appreciate Yuta and Geto
It's true that it doesn't feel super relevant if you are an anime-only watcher, but the stuff in the movie will absolutely be relevant in the future. That being said, I completely understand why most people didn't feel super invested in it
Yeah the significance of the movie will be felt so much more as the anime goes along and really wish DS S2 didn't include that arc but I get why they did
tbf there are still several tv shows I love, so I don't think social media will ever completely take over. There's an on demand platform for everything now so I think (and hope) tv series still keep getting made.
good movie recommendations Connor, couldn't agree more!
On the NY person running for a political position. There was someone who was practicing their kink in a safe way and paying for help with it (bondage/humiliation?) wasnt in a committed relationship, and got absolutely SLAMMED for it and pulled out of the race. Shit was wack.
"How dare he watch porn! So unholy abomination, sheesh..."
Then proceed to do nasty things with chidren or abuse their spouse. As long as you are not harming real people, I see no problem in what you are doing. Also, isn't the American rule: "If you like it, pay for it" a thing?
@@icarue993 No on the "if you pay for it" thing. American media might portray that, but it's not true. A few major cities in America aren't representative of all. And that's part of the problem right now.
Meanwhile, if you want any chance of becoming President, you literally have to publicly announce that you believe an imaginary man in the sky came down to Earth as his own son so we could execute him as part of an elaborate blood sacrifice scheme that allows us to go be with him when we die. Priorities are fucked, people are stupid beyond redemption. We're probably not gonna make it.
Having to acknowledge imaginary things seems mandatory for living in the west.
@@icarue993 There is one politician under active investigation for trafficking under aged girls for sex with a shit tone of evidence and has his party still support him. Matt Gaetz. And they get weird about consensual stuff between adults. America is weird.
This episode length is not enough for my addiction
Literally 24 hour stream vod in twitch
@@jqa16 not enough, need more.
Watch more podcasts
Tbh right I think connor has a much clearer picture of things then ppl wanna give him credit for
I ended up watching a movie called "Redline" because it popped up in a recommended. Glad I did. It was a movie I never heard of before and wouldn't normally go out and look up genre wise. But because it was recommended somehow it's now one of my top 5 animated movie lol
JJK 0 just came out in the UK and honestly I enjoyed it a lot maybe a bit biased but I love the whole spirit and curse theme of the show like mob psycho and bleach type vibes plus Rikka and Yuta's story was horrifyingly beautiful I resonated with it a lot
Honestly I say maybe 2013 when everything goes to shit and downhill really fast over night. People started fighting over sides and losing friends/ family member. It was insane crazy I mean I was in 11grade.. but I miss when people listen to other people opinions and have a discussion about it without fighting and still be friends.
My co-worker and I are on opposite side of the political fence but we still manage to have okay talks about politics. But we're center left and center right and Canadian.
in fairness it was always like this you probably just started noticing it in 2013 because you were of the age to start noticing it
@@anshagrawal254 i will disagree here, but just to say that it wasn't only because of that, it was because it become apparent on the internet AND social media.
This is one of the most relatable episodes that I have when listening to Connor.
Today is the day I officially caught up to trash taste,I stopped halfway through the lady beard episode cuz my father got covid and had to move out of the house for a while and I didn't want to watch trash taste on my phone so I stopped,until the new Dad episode came out in Nov.13 and I was like" you know what ,it's time to catch up" and I realized I was behind 32 podcast episodes THIRTY TWO so I thought I can catch up in 3 days if I did nothing but watch but hold myself back cuz that ain't happening so I decided I will atleast watch 1 episode a day,whenever I'm home I'll watch 1 everyday but most of the time I wasn't at home so it took 4 months to catch up,just 1 video behind ,the charity stream
What bothers me about politics in general is the, "Oh, you believe this? Then you're of this political party!" For me, it depends on the issue, not party affiliation. Conservatives think I'm too liberal and liberals think I'm too conservative. After witnessing last few US presidential elections, the one in 2016 was the first one in which "none of the above" seemed like the best choice.
I refused to vote in that election out of despair and disdain for the piss-poor showing of misogynist asshole man-child and whackadoo corporate crony paying lip service to progress.
Just don’t be racist or anti-vaccine and you’ll be fine, I’m kind of glad I haven’t been keeping up with it after I voted Democrat in 2020. Just been trying to focus on school and such
There also seems to be this idea online that if you DON’T identify with a major party that you’re not contributing enough or something along those lines
I detest both modern parties so for the sake of argument i usually say I’m an independent or a centrist, taking ideas from both that I find fitting.
This isn’t complicated yet i can’t count the amount of times I’ve said this and people end up finding it weird
Might just be the people im around but it seems way to common place from where ive been
@@magiv7573 It's not just you, and I agree with you.
@@magiv7573 I can tell you why I find it weird. One party is very explicitly worse than the other. I hate both parties but I can recognize a lesser evil. Equivlating both of them is essentially advocacy for the worse one.
A short episode but that's okay I've got 24 hours of a stream to watch
ONG TRUE. This is a blessing because I still need to catch up on that stream. I watched some points live but def missed out on like 90% of it
either theyve talked abt how social media is a game before, or i foresaw this in a dream, lmao. i feel like it was in an episode back in like the 20s because thats when i still listened on spotify, but if not, i only started binging the podcast back when it was in the 60s so its too recent for me to have seen already
I wanna say that I love how deep this started. I wish everyone felt this way about politics. As an American, I genuinely worry the country will implode from splitting in half like this. And whether it's the news or online articles, they're all just after views and clicks, making more drama. When things are peaceful, they have nothing interesting to make you watch and read. With the war stuff happening right now, I wonder how easily something could happen to all of us. We need to all come together more as human beings.
Damn... Conner really calling out the Steven's of the world got me dead R I fuckin P
I think the moment you start realizing that you might have an addiction or are on that edge of having an addiction. Is when you find yourself coming back to it like more often than you were before or you start using as a coping mechanism. So like I found myself that I was on that edge of developing alcohol addiction. Like I wasn't getting drunk but I was drinking hard liquor frequently and especially when I was going through some rough shit. And what pulled me back from the edge was a realization that I am drinking and its not making me feel any better or making me feel any worse. Like its not working as a coping mechanism anymore and thats when I realized that I should cut down on my drinking and find healthier ways to make myself better.
I can see how someone could start using porn as a coping mechanism and quickly find themselves watching porn without even feeling that horny. Just watching it to ignore real-world pains. Honestly, I think that its a good thing to call attention to these kinds of addiction because there could definitely be people going down a similar path but who don't yet realise.
I've always found myself very strong willed and found habits others find hard to kick like smoking or bromazopan a medicine I was on others find tremendously hard to quit and genuinely found it no problem whatsoever.
But I had to gain some weight for a surgery and had to binge sugar to gain weight fast, and ever since I've had an addiction to sugar that is truly unbelievably hard to kick.
Unfortunately my lifestyle makes this hard as I'm disabled and whilst I make sure to get in one good meal a day, preparing things is tough so I'll often find myself eating things I can grab without the need to prepare, which tend to be sugary. Or I just get that craving.
Obviously I'm not alone in this as diabetes is going up in Western nations, I definitely want to kick it before it gets to that point.
I'm rewatching this episode right now. Honestly rewatching Trash Taste episodes is great and I'm starting to rewatch episodes since episode 150 is coming up soon meaning new Trash Taste Awardw coming up soon
the internet broke around 2014, mainly during/after gamergate.
for a lot of people it was a very polarizing moment and we're still seeing the repercussions of that event to this day.
The addiction to porn can also mess with your love life. Not being able to perform in bed can have a down side to your relationships. You're so use to the crazy stuff on a screen but seeing it up close can be odd
With the amount of content that they released just this past week, I wouldn't even mind if they did short episodes.
This was short and sweet babyyyy !!!
I like Joe's new haircut, he looks lowkey now a bit like Kishibe Rohan from JoJo part 4 or am I the only one seeing him like this now?
