Hello and welcome to another episode of the Trash Taste Podcast.
I am your host for today, Giguck.
And with me are my usual co-host, The Boys.
You know who they are.
And with me, again, as I'm hosting,
I have another guest.
Wow!
Yay!
We have the beautiful Sid's nap and I can say that.
But yes, do you want to introduce yourself, Sydney?
Hey guys.
It's Gigg-U-It's white.
It's Gigas almost wife.
That's all you are.
The strongest intro I've ever heard from any guest.
Hey guys.
You didn't even say it's your girl.
I was about to.
Okay, go, go on, go on, say, say.
Hey guys.
Okay, that's all you need to know.
You can tell she's a girl.
So you go by SidSnap on YouTube.
No.
Okay, oh my God.
So do you wanna explain to anyone who is unfamiliar
with your content, what you kind of do?
Okay, so I have a YouTube channel.
I usually talk about some of the least
Luder things on the anime spear.
It's a nice way of putting it.
Those Christian way you meant to get up.
Wucky things.
Some of the non-Christian side.
Come over if you're feeling curious.
Talk about Eroge, manga,
eye penetration.
And other beautiful, beautiful stuff.
Just doing God's word.
I wanna get right into it.
Let's just jump right into it.
Just not beat around the voice.
I gotta, I'm just excited to talk about this.
Can you explain?
What the pussy of the round table is,
right away, please.
Just get it out, get it out.
I've heard the name, but I'm yet to know it's glory.
This horrific contraption.
No, it looks like a, I want to tell me all about it.
It looks like a medieval torture man.
It does, that, okay.
So I saw this thing I advertised online,
and it was just like this giant, fleshy,
it's this fleshy giant roll of a bunch of pussy.
There's no other way to describe it.
It's just like the dough.
And you bought it for a video to clarify.
Yeah, yeah.
One of my videos where I'm just like,
sex products in Japan that are animally weird.
And it's just like, it's just a bunch of pussies
of like girls that they grow older.
It's like six, right?
Six of them around.
And you're supposed to like take it with the boys
when you wanna have a little party.
Try to stay special.
Invite the boys over for,
let's let's have a nice little group fuck.
I remember you told me saying about it
it was like it's in order of age.
Yeah, one of them's like, you know,
because of Japan, you know, likes their lawy.
Oh, okay, okay.
It's like elementary, middle school, high school,
adult.
How far adult do we go?
Grandma.
Grandma?
Yeah, there's not like a grandma pussy at the end?
It's like one of them just sagging down.
Yeah.
It's just like a gaping hole.
It actually is the hole.
So that's a great first topic.
I just wanted to talk about that.
I never thought to myself,
hmm, I need like an item for this circle jerk.
You know, like something's missing from this circle joke.
Oh yeah.
The thing is like, we've always known about Japan.
Japan has like some weird ass toys.
Everyone knows, right?
Everyone knows, but like having moved here
and really like, you know, living with Sydney
and seeing some of the shit she has to buy
for her channel is just like, I thought,
she doesn't have to.
Gunpoint.
Like now, I do it.
I thought my faith in humanity couldn't get lower
the next week it just like lowers every single week
because I remember this one time
we were in this like do Jinchi shop
and she was like looking for weird things to buy
and then we just see this brain right
and I'm just like why are they selling a brain?
There's no reason why a shop should be selling a brain.
And then we pick up the box and we turn it over
and it's just like this brain
that you can fucking like stick your dick in.
So it's a literal fleshlight
that's shaped like a brain.
Well some people want a brain for us.
Some people want a literal brain box.
So heavy.
What worries me about the round table of the object
is that normally if I wanted the fuck a brain,
I'd probably do that in private.
I'm probably gonna keep that to myself.
But there's someone out there who is six homies
who's like, boys, I've got it.
And then they're all equally fucked up
and they've all told each other.
I'm just trying to think like, how would you even position yourself?
There's actually a diagram.
That comes with the box of like,
there's an anal hole, like right at the bottom one as well.
It's like, imagine this like huge play-doh of like,
like with six pussies on this play-doh.
It's like a bar stool, right?
Yeah, yeah, it looks like a bar stool.
And then there's a hole at the bottom.
So how it goes is that there's a guy at the bottom
and you put it on a dick
and then like six other dicks can be fucking this pussy hole
as it's just on this guy.
How is this episode already more looted
the shit with your caro episode?
Your parents are gonna be watching this.
So I wanna know how do you go from
normal human being functioning in society
to reviewing the pussy of the round table on YouTube?
What's the origin story of that?
How do you get into that?
What happened?
I know that you want to see voice acting online
because we're in like the same community,
but I, you know, how did it like go from,
how did you get into voice acting
and then go into that kind of side of YouTube?
Are you asking how I,
it's like the beginning of my life?
We introduce you to our guests.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Well, I guess, like, so I started out on YouTube when YouTube just began.
I was about 12, 13, and I was a big anime nerd.
I was that girl, you know, just like, call me Yumiko Kawagawa.
And it's like, in high school.
And I was like, what's the best way to be the most closest to an anime girl that you can?
And I was just like maybe being her voice.
So I tried doing voice acting.
And then I grew up and I stopped doing fandom.
and a bridge series.
Because you were pretty big in the like abridging scene
back in the day, weren't you?
Yeah.
I remember because back when abridging was like at its prime,
you had like Team Four Star and then you had a lot of other people
were trying to emulate what Team Four Star were doing.
And we got to the point where people started realizing,
hey, if we use female voice actresses, we could make our bridge series look legit
because most of the bridge series were just like,
All dudes.
Yeah, all dudes.
Just all dude.
It would just be like the dudes playing the girl characters doing their, like,
like best falsetto or whatever it's called.
So if you had a female voice actor,
that meant your bridge series like legit.
Oh, they have a budget.
The problem is that there weren't many female voice actresses
in the community.
So I remember how I discovered Sydney
was she was like one of the five female voice actors,
actresses who was just like in everything.
So that's how I discovered you.
Like how was it back in the day for you
being like voicing in so many different
abridged series and so many different parades.
You were like first generation like online voice acting.
Yeah, I started when I was like 14.
Oh my God.
I mean back then obviously I was kind of like
around when the boom of it kind of began obviously
when people were just like, shit, girls want a voice
in our fucking terrible parodies.
And so I get a lot of offers every day
because there's not many girls who have like microphones.
Yeah, oh I guess my, me and my blue Yeti
could voice in your project if we have to.
So it was like, you know, I felt like hot shit.
Like female voice actors were wanted commodity.
You were like, whoa.
So it was pretty fun, you know,
I felt like a celebrity like, what?
You don't know who I am?
I'm in every bridge series.
You go to like Walmart, you're like,
oh God, they're looking at.
Oh God, they're staring at me
because I probably know who I am.
I'm just too nervous to come up and ask.
Oh, my God.
I forgot my fame sunglasses.
Oh God, they know I was in that fourth Pokemon
Bridge.
Oh, Jesus.
So I got to ask, like, were there a lot of projects?
that you're in that you're maybe not so proud of now,
like looking back at.
I think you can say,
without names, without names,
that's how you know someone's a good voice actor.
If they're like, yeah, man, I love everything I've been in,
and I'm like, oh, you're shit.
That means you don't recognize how bad some of the shit was.
Yeah, no, definitely there are, probably,
I'd say about like a good, like 70%.
70% of the-
Like a voice actor, yeah.
Maybe I'd say even close to 90,
because very rarely, and this is gonna sound terrible,
but like, when I was in the parodies,
I only laughed, I'd say very, like, one or two, three.
None of them were funny, I'm sorry.
Oh my God.
Every, every abridger whose voice with Sydney is just like,
maybe I'm the 10%,
maybe I'm the 10%, I could be the 10%.
Were you ever like cast in her,
because you, okay, if you were one of the five female,
did you ever get like cast in a project?
And then you're like, cool, cool, this is good.
And then you hear the other voice actors
and you're like, how do I get out of this?
How do I, how do I, how do I back the fuck up?
Of course, because like back then it's just like,
oh you're a girl, even though you're using your like laptop mic.
I've never acted before, but it's just like, of course.
But you know, sometimes like I was like,
I'm unfortunately one of those people that's like,
once I kind of offer something, it's really hard for me to say like,
I'm just not gonna do it.
Yeah.
It's really hard to say no.
So most of the time I just, I'm like, I'm gonna do the lines,
but I'm not gonna do it with enthusiasm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
just the best way to practice from Wadford.
Like, I mean, I'd say with law things.
You just gotta do it even if you fuck,
you're gonna suck for the longest time
and then you eventually learn how to do it.
Just audition, just never stop auditioning.
Yeah, you'll get better.
That was like definitely how it was back then.
It's like, even if it was all shit,
it's been it's practice.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, so how did you try, like, what,
so when, did you ever stop voice acting
or is it something you just kind of lost interest in?
I mean, like, I mean, it kind of plays into how we met,
isn't it?
Like, because we met from Hizabry
Bridge series, Ava Bridge, in case you guys couldn't guess.
Oh, my God.
Here we go.
Mary.
But once we started dating, I actually moved, like, after we started, like, I moved
to England and I started going to school in England.
And I think from that point, I stopped voice acting for a good few years.
But then I came back because I was just like, you know, you said, like, you think I
I should try and do YouTube.
And I'm like, I don't know, voice acting's not in the same community.
And you're like, maybe don't do voice acting.
And I'm like, what?
And then I started doing manga videos
because I really like manga.
And I started noticing like,
people tended to prefer when I talked about
some of the looter titles.
Like it started off with like J.K. Haru
as a sex worker and to like, you know, naval sex.
Of course.
Okay.
It's a bit of a job.
Of course.
No. I think the big transition was
when you did your video in Euphoria.
Oh, right?
I feel like God has all the answers to these questions.
He's like, no, Sidney, that's not how it happened.
I was there.
He was, though.
God's like human fact checker, honestly.
He was the one who actually, I definitely wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for Gar.
He like helped pave the way, kind of told me what they just like,
hey, this is like, might be a good thing.
And I'm like, I don't know.
And anytime I needed advice, he was there.
Yeah, because I remember when I saw some of your thumbnails,
I'm like, that's not the level of click bait
from someone who's been doing this for four months.
And I was like, God, did you make the thumbs
Thumbna was like, yeah, yeah, I knew,
I knew it was too good clip.
She had a private coach.
Like, definitely you were my favorite.
But definitely, I think I started getting more traction
when I started talking about,
because I'm not gonna lie, I like to play a good eroga,
you know, I like a little slugé,
yeah, exactly.
We all know, this man lived off them
when he was 13.
Yeah.
And then just played a little euphoria and.
Okay, just play a little bit more.
I mean to erogaze, but I never had
the balls to try before.
Okay, okay.
I was so, I was like, oh, euphoria.
Can I tell, can I tell the story?
Okay, actually, let's put them like in your face.
I'm like, it's like in your mouth.
Voice actor doesn't know, put the microphone in face.
How did you first find out about euphoria?
Um, I heard somebody talk about it,
but I didn't really like, they didn't say anything bad about it.
They just said, oh, it was like kind of like a death game.
And I, you know, I really like horror.
I like death games in-
I have no idea what this is, by the way.
I just know there's a little poop.
Oh, okay, okay.
We'll get, we'll get into that.
Oh, yeah.
So, so one day, Sid, Sid,
And she's just like messing about on her computer
and she just casually asked me,
Hey, God, have you heard of this anime hentai
called Euphoria?
I'm like, yeah, why?
And she's like, oh, I'm thinking about playing it.
I'm like, oh, okay, that's a pretty infamous game.
And she kept, she keeps asking me why, why is it infamous?
What's this, what's so infamous about this game?
It sounds like the same energy as your mom coming,
like, God, what is bang, bros?
What is that?
Why don't I have a lot?
subscription to porn hub in my mail?
Yeah.
What is ex hamster gone?
Yeah.
Can you explain?
You know what he's just that much?
And so I just go, you know what, Sydney?
Why not just download it and play it?
And why would you say that?
And see what happens?
Because-
And you love this woman?
No, it's resulted in probably one of my favorite Twitter threads online
because I told her to document her experience with it.
And so she has this Twitter thread of like,
of her like fresh experience with euphoria,
which we can probably pull up.
Because I was so certain that you were overreacting,
if I'm honest.
Like I was so certain, like I've seen my fair share of a rogue,
I know, I've played black or Bible black, okay?
And like, I'm like, oh, is somebody just gonna like
accidentally puke or something?
And everyone's just like, this is disgusting.
Oh, the moment I saw that Twitter thread being started,
I was like, oh, I was so good.
I was like, good.
It was one of the few Twitter threads
where you can literally grab the popcorn
and just scroll down because there has never been
a more well-documented, like, journey
of someone losing their mind.
Why, I'm gonna die.
Cause I think it was, it was never the same
after you played Euphoria.
And you released that Euphoria video.
I think that was like your first really dive
into forward degenerous.
Yeah, of course I played like Roget.
Like, sometimes like some weird-
Do you wanna explain what Euphoria is
to someone like Connor and people who don't know?
I have no idea where Euphoria is.
Okay.
I just know there's poop and eating it.
Oh, I wish it was just that.
Yeah, I wish we could say that's the worst.
Can we do a YouTube friendly version
so we don't get completely destroyed?
Okay.
So, Bert.
Oh, that was cute.
Which also appears in euphoria.
I think essentially everything grows
that you can even think of
on the top of your head in the next three seconds.
It's in euphoria.
So euphoria is a kind of game where...
I'm going to be.
Sorry, carry up.
So euphoria is a game where this one guy
who suddenly starts to realize
he's a sadistic motherfucker who enjoys
like girls' pains
is stuck in a room with like,
seven other girls and they give him like acts
that he has to do otherwise they somebody dies
and gets like killed.
Basically like sore.
Yeah, essentially but like eating shit.
And so like they have essentially every weird tag
they have like diaper wearing and shitting
and you have to eat the shit out of the diaper.
They have like.
This is a furry convention?
Oh my god.
Taking you thing to another one.
My God, this sounds too much for you.
but I think I get the picture of how discussed.
They just have a lot here.
And so that defined your YouTube career?
Unfortunately.
So you may, you've watched that or you experienced it,
you're like, this is it.
This is my MacNobos.
This is my peak.
This is what we're going to follow.
To be fair, like, I made a video
because I'm like, I thought nobody else knew
that Euphoria was as bad.
I thought they thought that what I did.
I thought everybody else thought it was like a death game
and I'm like, I'm warning you guys.
And too little did I know, I'm the fucking dumb fuck over here.
So, well, I mean, someone had to experience
I mean, someone had to experience it right.
Yeah, yeah.
I've just taken the L for everybody.
That's my career.
One thing I'm sure a lot of people
would have been curious about is obviously,
like, you're a female who's like very into hentai.
Am I?
But like, how did you get into hentai originally?
Like, what opens the gate for you?
Like, what made it appealing to you to like...
Because the general consensus is females don't read hentai.
Yeah, exactly, right?
They don't watch it.
But I guess like, it's like, it's just a hot start from the beginning then.
beginning then. It's just more of like, in case you guys didn't know, I grew up, or I was born and raised in a small village in Wisconsin near Milwaukee. And wouldn't you think it, they're pretty conservative. So I didn't have a sex education. And I got all of my sex education from, actually from, yeah, hentai.
This is going like the good Christian girl, really now.
I had no idea that like Jizz was like looked like anything. Like I didn't.
I didn't know when stuff came out.
Until I was not like 17.
I was 17 when I learned that jizz existed.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I didn't even know what a penis looked like.
That's fact that they don't teach you.
Yeah, no, our sex education was more of like,
stay absent.
Don't do it.
Yeah, I've seen a bunch of those, right?
It's like you can either teach sex education
or tell them to not just not fuck
and not do any of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had a sex ed, but it wasn't sex ed.
It was more of like, but, so I actually learned,
I didn't know that hentai really existed
until I, it was actually very similar to Garn's story
where I've like found a random link
to Bible black and I downloaded it.
And then I saw just like a girl like growing a dick
and I'm like, can girls do that?
You wouldn't know, you weren't sex-suitated.
How did you know?
Like guys can giz, can girls grow a dick?
Is that just the thing
that my parents have just not taught me?
But so I think from there just my interest grew
because I was just like, well this is the only
Like your penis.
Yeah.
Like your penis.
Yeah.
Like my giant dick.
So then I just kind of dived in and actually some of it had good stories and it wasn't
just fucking.
And then just life changed from there.
So what does like some early hentai though?
You actually like properly enjoyed.
Because as like a teenager, I'm sure most guys, we had one purpose of why we like got into
hentai.
We didn't really care about the plot that much.
I still don't care about the plot.
Yeah.
He still doesn't but someone from your perspective, I'm sure,
I feel would have something different.
Well, definitely when I first started
like watching hentai and arroge, you know,
was just to get like, you know, just kind of like,
what is this warm feeling in my pants?
But then I started like, my first real erogi
that I liked was, you may be like, kisser, kusuri.
And it was just like about depression and just like,
and this guy's just having sex with these depressed girls
and I'm like, oh my God, I'm having feels
while my pants are warm.
Oh my God.
This is not gonna be monetized.
No way.
We're sorry YouTube.
We have sponsors on this episode.
I hope neither of our parents was it.
Oh my God.
There's like a million other ways you could have phrased it.
You didn't have to say warm feeling in my parents.
It's like the worst way you couldn't put it.
Oh my God.
Cold talk.
So yeah, essentially you made a kiss today was like,
the first one and then obviously Katawa Shojo,
you know, I was like.
Once with good stories.
Good stories and then I kind of started going for like
the generally like hey, this isn't just sex,
this is a good plot, you know, kind of like one of those porn
like you see and it's like somehow one of those lines
just sticks with you.
Yeah. I've never seen an actual porn
and like damn, this story's good.
I mean the only like portable porn is amazing,
really like horrible ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't get my cereal?
Yeah.
I think she wants me to suck my neck.
Oh my god.
Wait, I gotta ask Connor, have you ever watched
like a hentai and just watch the entire runtime?
No skipping.
No skipping, just watch an entire episode
without skipping or hitting that buffer button.
I'll look at the watch and be like,
I got 10 minutes, I can watch the intro.
You know, I got time, I can watch the intro.
And then I'm normally just disappointed
and like, I wish I just didn't know your personality.
The characters normally I like regret that I learned.
Oh, that just means you haven't seen the good ones yet.
Yeah.
I think I've seen some good ones.
Like, I mean, I don't want to out myself right.
Yeah, we're gonna-
We gotta save it for the hentai episode.
Oh yeah, true, true, true, true, right.
Because we wanna do that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We wanna do like a hentai tier.
We judge each other's favorite hentai.
So I'm gonna save it.
You know, gotta keep some aces in that.
Well, then, while Cindy's here, then, what is yours?
Like, what would you say is like the absolute peak
of like, yes, this is the best one I've seen?
To be fair, I don't read or I don't watch a lot
of like animated hentai
because you know once you've seen one,
honestly you kind of seen them all like it all looks the same.
They're all based off the dogens though.
Yeah, but not.
Well a lot of them are based on Arogate's.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah and like even if they were based off the dogens
it was like like hentai manga,
it was just like kind of like it doesn't keep the good shit
you know it does not as beautiful.
It doesn't keep the plot.
It doesn't keep the plot and even the sex scenes
that they copy that are like hot in the dogens
aren't hot in anime form.
Yeah, I don't know, like,
especially some dogeons,
especially if they're animated by Queen Bee.
Oh my God, we do not talk about Queen Bee.
I don't know how Queen Bee can take
some of the best dogeons, like S tier Joe, dogens.
I make it seem like worstly animated
than the fucking manga itself.
There have been so many where I like,
I'm into the idea of the story,
I'm watching the cut scenes,
and then I forget I'm still watching Queen Bee.
And then the two P and Gs start rubbing against each other
and I'm like, oh.
Some Queen Bee stuff I've seen is like they must have animated this on like PowerPoint.
Yeah, yeah.
There's no animation.
Because the, the worst thing about Queen Bee is that they're like the posters.
It's a hentai studio.
Yeah, Queen Bee is a hentai studio.
Quite infamous if you watch enough hentai for just having the worst animation you can imagine for a hentai.
If you've watched a hentai and you thought, wow, this looks awfully shit.
It's probably Queen B.
We're not going to get that sponsor from Queen B.
I don't want to be sponsored by Queen B.
That's a badge of dine B.
I think Queen Bee was one of the first studios
that forced me to like research hentai studios, right?
Because normally like hentai animation
All look the same.
Hentai animation isn't the greatest,
but it's like it's possible,
but Queen B was so bad that it forced me
to have to Google search, why does these certain henties
look that's bad?
Oh, okay, it's because the same,
it's because the same studios are animating it.
But yeah, going back to you, so
what are some henties you would like properly recommend,
properly recommends, not anime then.
We're gonna put you on a spot.
Yeah.
Are we gonna fucking go down there?
Okay, so.
Yeah, we're gonna do down the rap.
We've already like, we've already gone down.
We've already fallen down.
So, get close to the microphone, you're really far away.
I can see on the audio.
Okay, got it.
Like that, yeah.
This episode is sponsored by Bandai Spirits.
And today they brought us the upcoming
that time I got reincarnated as a slime,
Ben Pristo box.
This is a hefty boy.
That's a big, that's a big, that's a big,
Big boy, that is.
Ooh, baby.
What's in the box, Connor?
What's in the box?
Open the box.
What's in the box?
What's in the box?
I'm glad you asked what's in the box,
gone, because I don't know yet,
so should we find out what's in the box together?
What's in the box?
What's in the box?
Oh, ooh.
Look at this little thing.
Is it a rimu?
Rimaru, I do not pronounce that correctly.
Rimuru.
Oh, this was so good.
Let me feel that.
It's actually like really soft.
Oh, okay, okay, very nice.
Oh, so this is the Rimaru large plush.
It's 20 centimeters or 7.9 inches and it feels great in your hand.
You can put it on your head, you can put it on your shoulder,
you can put it anywhere.
Look at this, this is like, how can you feel stressed holding this,
you know what I mean?
And there's also this, Jerry.
Oh, that is the mascot plush special color version,
which is another exclusive item for this band Presto box.
It's gonna, it's got a little keychain as well,
so you can clip it onto something.
It is a keychain.
Oh, look at this beauty.
I just gotta shit out this beauty.
Look at that, oh my god.
Oh, that looks similar to the one that we have.
Rimuru is looking clean as hell man.
Except this one is the exq figure, special color version,
and this also is an exclusive item to the band.
That base is so cool with the colors.
But wait, there's more.
We're not done here.
There is two key chains I'm seeing in here.
Am I reading this right?
Yeah, there's two key chains.
Yeah, there's two key chains right here,
two rubber key chains.
We have a rubber keychain of a cool looking Rimuru
and slime together,
and another keychain
with Rimru with Shih Tzu's mask.
I totally didn't see that for us.
Yeah, that's cool.
And there's one more item in here, gentlemen.
That's a...
That's actually...
That's super cute.
That's so cute.
I like how it like flushes at the top.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's got like the round shape of the slime.
Yeah, but that's exclusive...
Take it from me, Joe.
Yeah, it's a cute little slime mug right here.
Oh, I like this shape, actually.
And the value of all of this is $60 USD,
but the best part is, gentlemen.
It's only 2999.
Only 2999.

us today, back to the video.
Well, obviously, if we're gonna go down this route,
I would say my tastes are a bit superior, of course.
I know my way around, not as a slut,
but as like a, take one, okay.
You're being really convincing, see.
But like, so I would say, like, I honestly prefer,
if I'm going to be reading hentai,
or like, hentai dojins or hentai manga,
like, so, I guess,
What's your go to tag?
Eye penetration?
Oh, definitely.
Naval penetration?
It depends on the day.
Sometimes I'm looking for like virginity.
Sometimes I'm feeling just a bit pure, you know?
Like, something wholesome.
I'm gonna give myself.
And then sometimes I'm just like, what's the most...
Skull fucking.
Scullfucking.
I want to see those giz come out of those ears.
I want a position of power being abused.
Through the eye socket.
Socket.
But yeah, do you have any like specific titles
that you recommend to people?
Obviously anything by Pochi,
which is a hentai manga artist
and she's also having an anime being released.
Oh wow.
Yeah, it was supposed to come out last season.
Yeah.
She obviously, the anime getting, you know, animated for it.
She's the artist who did the art for the milf,
if I remember correctly.
And the elder sister, Dojinchi.
That's what's getting animated.
Oh, okay, that's good.
But it's not gonna be the hentai version of that.
It's gonna be the more,
it's like the tan girl?
No, that's, no, you're talking about
Nanashi who did Nagatoro.
Yeah, yeah, it's Twitter all the time.
Nanashi is also a hentai artist.
I see a lot of that form.
But if I'm completely honest,
I always like to go to series that are like
of characters that are like,
in the games I'm playing.
Like I like playing Harvest Moon and Rune Factory
and sometimes I like to see the characters
like to marry,
I have sex with my character.
Well, I guess that's just like the,
I guess that's just like the appeal of Dijinchi.
I was right.
I've never played a video game and thought, man,
fuck, I just wanna see Zafroff just take a huge deal.
Are you kidding?
And you're lying.
You look that shit out, there's probably thousands.
Oh, don't know, because-Zeprov getting deep down.
Do you guys remember the very first Dijingi that you ever read?
Or like, discovered.
You've never read a Dijing.
Never read a Dijing.
Never read a Dijing.
Okay, Connus told me that he can't get off to drawn
No.
What, it's like a fucking, just, I had to put up more chance, like, fucking masturbating
to like, money, like the queen on the fucking, like, it's doing the same thing for me.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I need some fucking movement going on.
So do you need, is it the movement?
Is it the noise?
Like, you're literally masturbating the same way they didn't like, 1800s when the camera was first invented.
They're like, oh, God, my, my wife that I haven't seen 40 years because I went to the war.
Oh, I'm gonna bust one out the trenches.
Did you never like, did you never like look at like the fucking Playboy magazine?
and think like, damn, that's hot.
Yeah, I did, but then I realized, like, moving porn
was also an option and then I, like,
how can you go back?
That's like literally saying you like...
It's like the episode of South Park
where like they, they lose internet
and then they take turns on like the PC masturbating to porn.
I guess it's...
I don't know how it's...
I guess, I guess it's because for me,
like, I remember the very first time I discovered
Dogenchi's were a thing where, you know,
you'd watch the, you'd watch these anime,
and you'd be like, you know,
this anime goes like kind of hot.
Well, of course,
because it's an officially licensed product,
you don't get to see any porn of that.
I've never felt that way about anime.
I've never seen anime be like, man,
I wanna see these characters get fucked.
What the fuck?
Really?
No.
No, not even as like a kid,
have you never had like a childhood crush
on like a girl or like an anime?
But I've never like wanted to like,
because to me it feels like, I don't know,
this is weird, but like I like,
I like it when my like porn is separated
from the stuff I enjoy.
You know what I mean?
No, I want it completely isolated.
I get that.
So I can cut that shit off
and nothing in my life changes, right?
Like what's that like no nut challenge?
We start levitating after a month.
Like if I wanna cut that shit out,
it's not gonna affect like, you know,
if I'm looking at Mekasa porn every week
and then I'm gonna be watching attack on Titan,
I'm gonna be like, damn, I've seen it get dig down.
You know what I mean?
Like I- No, I get that though because like,
I don't read Dojans of series that I like.
Right, because you wanna like separately?
I read Dojans of series I actually don't like.
But like the characters are hot and you don't like them?
Yeah, because like I don't care,
because the characters are good,
but I don't care enough about their personality
to see them get dig down.
Yeah, I would never want to read
hentai from a show that I like enjoy.
I don't know.
So like my favorite, I'm on the, I'm on the weird one here.
No, no, no, no, no.
There's a lot of people who are like,
I love this character, therefore I want to see them get big down.
I get it, but I don't follow it.
Okay, right, right.
I'm gonna watch my girl get down.
That's why like I fucking love like sort online
or emo like love life, hentai
because like I don't care about these characters enough
that, but they're all good looking characters.
I'm like, all right, that's cool.
When you like watch a porno, I don't wanna be personally invested
in their lives, I'm watching a porno.
I'll watch it and be done with that.
No, I want like being personally involved.
This is gonna sound, this is gonna sound so fucking insult right now.
But being, I'm glad that your relationship
being invested in porn, being invested in porn,
just like elevates it to like, like newer heights.
That's why I like porn.
That's like, that's why I like plot with my porn.
But at the end of the day, I feel like you're putting up
more barriers for like entry to have
have a good, just wank at the end of that.
You know what that mean?
But that wank is worth it though.
It's like the best one you're gonna get.
You can feel the shivers as you can just get it.
Oh my God.
No, because I get, if I watch a dogeon,
or I read a dogeon of a character that I really like
or a series I really like, the next time I have anything
to do with that series, in the back of my mind,
I'm just like, yeah, I'm thinking about it
and it completely puts me out of the experience.
Oh, what? That was me in the experience.
And how also is that like,
why do you want to put work on yourself by reading
and having to imagine the rest.
You know what I mean?
Because, because.
You don't have to imagine the rest.
It's drawn out for you.
It's not every single, like, little frame
in your mind is not playing out.
That just means you've read shit dogens.
Yeah.
I know, I've never, I've never read any.
I don't know, like, it's, like,
is, that's like, is all sex the same to you?
You know what I mean?
Like, is every session of sex, like, exactly the same?
But that's exactly the same of, like, porn
and stuff like that, right?
Okay, why do you, okay, this is way too D.
Why do you, why do you want?
Why do you want to,
why do you masturbate?
, what?
The same reason why anyone does the act.
Half the time, right?
I am 90% of the time, I just do it
because I got nothing better going on.
I'll be honest with you.
I got like 10 minutes to kill.
I don't wanna do the tasks that I've set myself.
Like I gotta make this thumbnail,
I don't wanna do it.
Well, I guess, uh,
So you just do it to waste time.
Yeah.
Most people, you know, like,
bring a book or clean their room.
You know, nothing to do.
Cause was like, whatever, I go five minutes.
For you, why not wanna have a quick,
like, a danger wank or whatever.
Yeah, my hands free right now.
But no, like it's, you know, like most people,
the act of doing it is a physically pleasurable.
For me, I just feel like it's, right.
It cleans my mind. I don't know.
I feel like it's like a reset.
I'm like a save.
It's like you've gone to the poker.
You're talking like, you're talking like a fucking monk now
for some reason.
You're like, I get it though.
I feel, I feel clean.
You go into that room, you go into your bedroom, you know.
It's midday, you feel dirty that you're gonna like do it.
And then you do it, then you come out, like, levitating.
It's like, I'm ready.
I'm ready for a day.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, I could just like reset the game,
like in the game or turn off the console
and turn it back on again.
You got like 20 Chrome tabs open,
the shit's really slow.
You're like, fuck it, I'll just restart the PC.
Like, that's what it's like.
Yeah, I mean, just close the tabs.
Sometimes it's so laggy, you know?
And you're just like, fuck, I can restart it.
I mean, I would have to ask,
so you've never really cared about,
you never cared about it.
I know what you go, no, no.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's why I guess I would understand,
because I felt exactly the same,
and then I remember the first time I read the Dijinghi
about characters, not characters I cared about,
but I guess characters I was like invested in,
maybe like getting together, because, okay,
I'm guessing neither of you or neither of anyone here
went through like the fan fiction phase.
No.
Not really.
I have.
Have you?
I went through the Harvest Moon fan fiction.
What, you and the other three people out there?
Because there would be times when I would like be watching an anime,
and I'll be like, man, I really want this couple
to get together.
I'd be really, I'm showing my, I'm showing a new side
of my degeneracy.
The sub-brin is never gonna look this girl, by the way.
But yeah, I remember the first time
was during like Haremanname and Haremanga,
where there would be this like,
there would be a winning girl, and I'd be like,
but what would happen if the other girl won?
Okay, what would happen if the other girl won?
Okay, I have to agree with it.
Do you not feel like you're wasting time?
Why?
Why?
Because I've had that exact thing where it's like,
when I was like in like teenage years,
I was like heavily invested in like To Lovero.
Yeah.
And I fucking love that.
But like at the time I was reading it,
there wasn't like a clear winner,
but there were lots of potential winners.
Yeah.
I wanna know.
I just wanna what if.
I'm like if he got with this girl.
Yeah.
What would it be like?
Because what got me into the Jinches
is that there are so many anime
with like this romantic subplot
that goes fucking nowhere, right?
And I just want to see the ending of that subplot,
the hypothetical ending on that sub-lop.
I understand the show not being satisfying,
but to me it's like,
I wouldn't want a story by an author,
but to them just be, someone's like,
I got it from here.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, to me, that's weird.
Like, I, that's why I've never been able
to, like, get my head around fan fiction?
Why would you want someone else to write the story
that, like, someone else would only really know?
Because if you don't have,
if you can't get the satisfaction from the official products,
you just have to search that out somewhere else.
It's not like,
Just like fine with it not having that satisfaction.
I don't want to be bothered to imagine of myself.
Therefore, I can read something.
Like, for example, if there was say,
I'm gonna bring it up again,
but if there was like domestic girlfriends,
Dijingis, I don't need that shit
because they fucking fuck in the, in like the actual series.
So like, why would I need that fan fiction?
I've never watched an anime and been like,
damn, I really need to know what would happen
based on a third party's opinion
of what could happen if ex person got,
You know what I mean? That sounds weird to me.
I don't know. It doesn't make sense. Does it not?
Am I a crazy guy here?
I think we're both the crazy ones here. We're both on like two ends of the extreme where I, sometimes I, it's like an itch that I can't scratch.
Where like if there's a series where I know I'm never going to see these people get together or this author's never going to finish it the way that I would like to finish it.
That my girl that I want to win is not going to win, that I'm going to search out the best way possible of how to itch that scratch.
And it's not just though jinches, like,
scratch the, yeah, sorry, that's scratch.
That's scratch.
Scratch that edge.
I kind of relate a little bit.
I remember when I watched Code Gios with first time,
I was like, why didn't La Louche ever like,
fucksy too?
Yeah, like, why do you,
and you, and there are fucking Dojinches
that definitely do that.
Oh, no, I bet there was, I just didn't care enough.
I wanted him to do it because I'm like, homie.
Just fuck or you're taking over the world,
let a little stress out, let your hair down.
Order some pizza.
I'm gonna kid's hat.
It's that too, man.
Cause like here's the thing, right?
Here's the thing.
I can't read a Dajinghi for like every series.
There are a certain series that I think,
I fucking made for Dijinchis.
And then I see like one piece Dijingis
and I'm like, why would anyone want to get off with this?
That's not, that doesn't seem very...
That's weird, let me pick up the Aerona sense.
That doesn't seem very Nakama of these guys.
No, no. The Aeronas sense, right?
Yeah.
Because there's so much sexual tension around.
I didn't watch it.
I was just saying names.
And I didn't care about Aeronanga
but the Dojans are fucking lit.
I don't know, I just, I can't get my head around it.
Maybe someday I will, but like, I feel like you just need
to see the good ones.
You just need to grow a bit more.
I actually remember the whole podcast is, Connor,
you just need to try the good thing.
Once you find the perfect tag, that's it,
it's game over, you're done.
This is why I don't get into any more gatchers.
I just feel like I'm gonna lose more time,
and I don't want to waste any more time.
Well, you're using that time to jack off anyway,
so it's like, what?
I spend 10 minutes max, Jack.
Yeah, well you can spend that 10 minutes reading a dojean.
No, that's too much time.
Because you've got to go through,
find one that you want, and I bet you probably
have that thing as well where it's like Netflix
where you're like, fuck, which one do I want?
Okay, here's the thing.
Most of the time when I discover a good hentai,
it's by complete accident.
How are you finding this?
Because like normally I'm just like, skip, skip, skip,
and I'm like...
Skip on what?
Huh?
On the random page.
Like the random page.
I find like just a dogen cover.
Yeah, I just click anyone.
And sometimes I like give it like five minutes
if it's like an anime,
but if it's like I'm less likely to give it a chance
if it's an anime because with like Dijinchis,
you can just, you can read way faster, you know?
It's like when on YouTube, you hear that 1.5 speed button
when you're just like, I wanna see what happens,
but I can't be bothered to like hear everything
at this exact space.
Do you ever just like, you just can't find a good one?
So you're just like, fuck it, I'll just,
I'll just get off to one of them.
I'll just fucking do it because like this is taking too long.
No, because I know how to find the good ones.
All right, fair enough.
But sometimes it comes to a complete accident
where I start reading, I'm like,
this has got some character development on it.
Like, maybe I'll give it a, you.
You got like, let's go of his pick for a second,
no, no, there's some character development.
Okay, okay, like, if they don't,
if there's like 10 pages,
if the 10 first pages, if the 10 first pages go by
and there's no fucking, you know the author
has given thoughts into the story of this to-Jinn, man.
You know what I'm talking about, Joe.
You know what I'm talking about.
Don't pretend like you die.
I unfortunately do, yes.
That's always the big tell.
When it doesn't start off by just fucking straight away,
then there's a chance that this could-
Oh, this guy actually cares.
Yeah, they actually care.
And then, I don't know, being invested in a story,
like that's kind of how I got into, you know,
Nazarkiana and a lot of other titles that have like-
Softcore stuff.
Yeah, like the soft-core stuff that have sex in them,
but also, you know, have a really good plot
that you can get emotionally invested in it.
Have you ever gotten to an anime through the Dojans?
Yes.
Have you ever gotten into an anime?
Because you saw a Dojin.
Absolutely.
Even though you haven't seen the anime before.
Which one?
Okay, I remember I actually read Code Yus Dogen's before I watched it.
I got it, I'm not that degenerative.
I'm trying to think.
Which one was it?
Sort of.
No, no.
It's hard for me because again, the only dogeons I read that are parodies of anime are the ones
are the anime series that I didn't enjoy.
So to satiate that like space, I read the dosions for it.
But I don't know if there is one that was the opposite.
I'm sure there is, but they're probably just like not,
they're like not worthy series, right?
Yeah, I guess the best analogy I can say is that it's kind of like,
it's kind of like the difference between having sex
on like a one night stand and like having sex
when you're in like a relationship.
And he was a monk.
No, because, you know, there's,
There's a difference between, you know,
you know, being emotionally invested
in the partners that you're with.
Oh my God.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Moving up.
Excuse me, we're a good Christian couple,
thank you very much.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, yeah.
But I guess that's like the difference
between just, you know, having a quick 10 minute jackoff session
to, my God, this is like the most degenerate,
goddamn podcast.
If you're watching this with your parents, I'm sorry.
No one talks about this shit,
but we all experience this,
and no one wants to talk about it.
I don't give a fuck.
Everyone wanks, let's be honest.
It's 2020.
Everybody wanks.
Put that on the shirt.
Make that a song.
Make it a song, everybody wanks.
Everybody wanks.
So I gotta ask, what is the most messed up one
that you would say that you'd be like?
That's hard.
Actually, actually, that's hard
because obviously some of them do try
to be really fucked up
and it's like kind of comes off
as like cringy like, oh my god,
you're fucking not girls intestines.
Like come on, like you're just trying too hard.
Yeah.
But some of them are,
I'm just like, oh, I didn't know you could do that.
Because there's an entire genre for that, right?
Eragura.
Yeah, it's just like.
That's something that I even I don't wanna touch, man.
I don't, I don't like it.
I've been trying to dive into that side of things
just because no one else wants to.
Yeah.
So I'm just like, how bad could be?
For good reason, for good reason.
How bad could it be?
I'm like, the little that I've seen, I'm just like,
I understand now.
Yes, this is bad.
No, this is something where, if I see someone
I'm like Eroguer.
I have to like completely separate myself
from like that work and just view it as like a piece
of like, oh, dude, I am soft as a pillow
when I read Eregera.
Like I'm just like no, I don't know how.
I'm open to a lot of like different sexual things
like you know different fetishes that you do you.
Yeah.
Eregru though, if you're into that shit,
don't come to him.
Don't come near me.
I don't even think that like incognito mode
can save you.
No, no, no, no, no.
Like there was a, okay, so I was also trying
to get into Ero guru,
probably try and take a, make a video on it.
So I, in Japan when I was at a Do Jinci store,
they had like these magazines that are actually,
I didn't know till later, were kite famous for Goro,
which is called Erogros.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And do you know them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I read one, and of course it's in Japanese,
so I didn't fully understand everything.
But I will say,
the dead baby stuff is not my favorite.
What?
What?
Dead baby stuff isn't great.
I don't want to talk about this more.
Any further than that.
Probably best we end there.
What the fuck?
Probably best to wait for either me
or Sydney to make a video
if we eventually get there.
But, um, no, but I totally get what you mean.
Like some, some, like, dogen's that are just, like,
trying to be way too edgy are just like, come on.
Yeah.
We know you're trying it.
But then there are the actually fucked up stuff like
metamorphosis, for example, right?
Like, I reckon, like, if there was one,
I'd still say that's my favorite dogen,
even though it completely fucked me up
the first time I read it.
It's your favorite?
Yeah, it's my favorite because, it's my favorite because like,
because I don't know, like, I like, I like, I like,
I like, I like, I like, you, you, you watch a character go from.
Is it a sad wank or what?
No, no, no, no, because that's the thing.
It was, it was like an existential,
yeah.
Like, why am I here?
No, but, like, metamorphosis was the first time where I was like,
I was prepared to go in for a wank, but then I had to let go and be like, okay.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Zipper going up.
Yeah, zipper going up because I'm soft right now,
but for a good reason, right?
Yeah.
Because that story is like, I mean,
I'm sure Sydney can vouch for this
or whoever is red metaphor, morphers can vouch for this,
but it's like, it's a dogen,
but it goes beyond a dogen, you know?
Like, how do you find it?
I definitely when I first,
because when I first heard of it,
is actually, I think from Aki's video,
when she made a video just saying like,
oh, it's really messed up,
and I'm like, okay, I think I've been around the block,
but no, I definitely wasn't expecting, like,
because I also am a big fan of depressing things.
Oh, a big fan of depression.
I love the work it does.
And so when I, yeah, Noah,
so when all that started happening,
when you know she graduated and all that and just, you know,
just, just, just, just,
we won't go into detail,
but yeah, it's no spoilers.
No, I would definitely sat,
once I finish it, I just sat looking at,
like the ceiling on the bed, just like,
where am I?
What did I do?
What did I do to deserve being here right now?
What did I do wrong in my life to be here?
What I think about metamorphosis?
It's like the Yasmi Plinpun of hentai.
It is.
You know what I mean?
Straight up is and I think that's why I love it.
Yeah.
Because I love Oiasmy Poonpun-
What the fuck happens to this?
Jesus Christ.
No, because like, because I did,
I interviewed Shindowell, the creator of metamorphosis
and I asked him about, I obviously had to ask him about that, right?
And he said it in a really cool way,
which was like, I wrote that story,
not to give this entire shock value of like,
I wrote a messed up Dojan.
But because he was raised in America,
he's like, I've seen so many people
whose lives end up like this.
And I wanted to show it not to like fetishize it so much,
but more so to show off like, this can happen to people.
Yeah.
And if you find this like hot or attractive,
then there's kind of something wrong with you.
I'm not showing it as a type of fetish.
I'm showing it as like, he's basically, he's like,
Like, I'm throwing out a message, right?
It's about sending a message.
Hentai is art.
That's what I'm trying to say.
He gave the hentai.
It's like, I wrote that because I wanted to show it off
in an artistic way.
And for the first time I was like, you know what?
That didn't sound pretentious.
Wow, you're one of the first people who are like,
okay, I totally get it.
Because I was the same thing.
When I read it, I was like, is this just edgy?
Or am I thinking about this way too artistically?
But then when you finish reading,
you're like, okay, no, it is actually,
quite artistic. Yeah, definitely.
You should read it.
Yeah, which is like, how long is it?
Uh, it's like.
100 and something, things?
Yeah.
Oh, so I can do it in like 30 minutes.
It's one volume.
It's like, yeah, it's one volume.
Yeah, because the thing is,
the thing I've been wondering recently is that we,
hentai has become this like buzzword, right?
Where we use it to describe it.
Would we use like it to describe anything that
kind of involves like titty or sex nowadays?
But like, do you feel like there's a difference
between just hentai, like porn,
and like erotica with like good,
like things that have good plots
but also just happen to have sex in them.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Because I think the whole henties,
henties art thing that's, you know,
that we kind of promote is that it's,
it's not so much that we think that this is like jackoff material.
We just think that just because it has sex in it
doesn't necessarily mean that this is just, you know, porn.
You know, that's you guys, not me.
Well, I mean, you know, like that's like,
why does like a lot of like artistic film you see?
sex as like a way to show on.
Oh yeah, that's fine.
I'm not gonna like bust out my dick in the cinema
when I see a sex scene.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I think the whole like hentai's art,
like, argue, stems from like,
oh, it's got titties and therefore it's the genesis.
The only way that I judge it is if I type in
free hentai and the website like, you know,
has like 10 pop-ups, I'm like, this is porn.
Oh, yeah.
Like, yeah, this is porn.
If there's not at least five pop-ups,
it's probably not porn.
Yeah, right.
Like, I'm not gonna like play fucking cunt wars
and be like, oh, this is like.
It's like, hmm, yes.
I love the artistic innovation of comp.
I feel like if anything, it's just like the images
that get shared around on Twitter,
most of the time that are just artists,
just drawing like, you know, just stills or whatever,
like just hot.
Like those are nice, those are art.
Like I would never like, get on the train
and get like a chub at seeing like a Twitter art
like a sexualist's good.
Oh no, no, no.
But it's like, I'm like nice.
But I mean, you guys would, right?
Because you read your doggians.
I mean, just a picture wouldn't be enough.
Yeah.
I don't, I don't, I don't crack a fat every time I'm fucking,
like, every time I'm like, oh yeah, there's some ludes,
let me just like it.
I'm just like, next to the train on Jerry at Russia,
I'm like, Joey, I can know.
Joey, I can feel it, stop, stop watching hands on.
You see me on a pack train, just like liking hentai on my Twitter.
I need the semen bank of a fucking bull
if I would, like, if I had to jack off
every time I saw a lewd on my Twitter timeline, man.
Jesus Christ, because there's so many lutes
in your timeline that you'd be jacking off every,
like, every, every, like,
other fucking second basically.
There's gotta be a challenge, right?
It's like you see a nude on Twitter,
you gotta jack on.
You have to finish every photo.
It's like the opposite of no nut November.
Right?
Only not November.
Only not November.
We gotta like do a counter movement.
I like how this conversation completely
just delved.
We should go back to YouTube stuff
in Sydney's origin story.
We'll save for the hentai episode.
We can talk about this forever.
Yeah, that's like a story.
I mean, like, is a hentai really aren't?
No, no.
This is the most civilized discussion we've had on trash days.
I remember when we were discussing one time
and then me and Gaunt were there and it was you
and then I think you were like,
no, people come for me from all,
like my super serious anime takes.
I looked at Gaunt, I'm like, what?
No, you said because they're like,
oh, people come to you because they like your personality.
Yeah, no, but they want my recommendation.
Yeah, they were like, and I looked at gone, I'm like,
no, back me up, man, back me up.
A year and a half.
I think you were still getting the guilt.
Like, I was getting the hang of it.
But even then I felt that your videos
that were recommending stuff,
it was still like, people came for your personality,
not for the recommendation.
Yeah.
Recommendations died.
Yeah, like, five years ago.
Nobody actually seeks recommendations on YouTube.
No, no, no, no.
And I want to just be entertained for 10 minutes,
so I don't have to think about my day.
Yeah, I mean, the recommendation comes as like a plus,
you know what I mean, to whatever the personality
who is presenting it.
If I'm honest, I mean, I personally, I don't think I'm anything you can't
get anywhere personality wise.
But I mean, don't come, I don't want,
I'm not saying, but I just wanna say,
I wasn't going to, don't I.
Wow.
Way to assume.
Bold of you.
Bold of you to assume.
Bold of you to assume.
Well, he said that.
I want to go on a podcast someday, do that.
No, no, no need to compliment.
Please. Hold your applause.
Fuck you guys.
No, but then, um, that's why I guess like in a way of,
I don't think anyone who starts YouTube right away
in the first like year thinks of themselves
as a personality.
Like they think like, oh, I'm just doing stuff
about anime.
Yeah, it's not about me.
I mean, it's something you definitely grow into.
And I don't, I can't remember how long it took me.
Oh, for me as well.
Because it took me forever.
So you've been doing YouTube for like, how long now?
Oh my God, you're a YouTube child.
Yeah, so you.
With this kind of content, obviously.
With this kind of content.
Yeah, about two years, two and a half years, something like that.
Like how is your journey business?
in that two years, like growing and finding what you're good at.
I think I started to accept, you know, it's like kind of like,
at first initially I'm like, I don't deserve this.
It doesn't feel like I've done anything really.
Imposter syndrome.
Yeah, kind of like in pot, up until recently,
I had really bad.
Oh dude, I still get imposter syndrome.
Yeah, like, I'm like, why are people even like subscribing to me?
Like, I'm just like really loud talking about titty.
Like I just say titty every like 50 times and one minute.
And but I guess recently I guess I'm just starting to say like,
maybe I'm not such a piece of shit.
You know?
Self confidence.
Yeah.
I think everyone feels imposterous.
Yeah, yeah.
Because you're like when another big creator
that you like you may be respect is like,
oh my god, you're like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like all the fucking time.
They're like, oh, I love like, I like your videos.
I'm like, stop trying to suck my dick.
No, you don't.
I remember who it was.
I had a DM from someone like, I like,
I like your videos and I was gonna reply,
but I was thinking about it.
I was just panicking, I'm like, are they fucking with me?
Yeah.
Are they like, are they joking?
Are they poking fun at me?
No, I just like, it's always from that one YouTube.
you'd never thought you'd say you'd say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why are you on my channel?
Like, I fucking love your videos, man.
You're like, you're lying.
Every time I hear a compliment,
my first reaction is just, why are you lying to me?
Is my, my, my joke?
Am I about to be punked?
No. By being British, I'm just assumed they're being sarcastic.
It's like, where's the punchline?
Tell me the punchline now, just get it over with.
I don't want to hear the rest.
Please say psych.
Thank you, Bookwalker, for sponsoring this segment
of the video.
Did you know that it is Bookwalker's fifth anniversary?
5th anniversary this October.
Wow. Thank you, Booker.
Happy birthday to Daddy Bookwalker.
So we're just gonna take 10 minutes
very quickly talk about some of our favorite manga
on Book Walker as their sponsor.
And we're just gonna do a 10 minute segment
when we talk about manga.
Who doesn't love manga, right?
I don't love manga.
Losers.
You know what my favorite book,
are you gonna do it?
This man Finner do it.
You know what my favorite manga on Book Walker is?
Tell us.
It also has an audio book counterfeit to go with it.
You're gonna-
You know it's one of the best selling books on audio,
but fuck, it's you are my princess audiobook by,
you know, C Dogg, yeah, I think in the credits.
Who's that? Wow.
Who is that, right?
Who is that?
Who is that?
Is this you?
Is this you?
Who's mans?
Yeah, yeah.
If I haven't shielded enough already.
Yeah.
I'm just, you know.
Go for it.
Just buy it.
I mean, just fucking buy it.
The critics, the critics say it.
Critics say it's good and it's got five star rating
on Bookwalker.
Really? Yeah, he had a four and a half at one point.
I watched that shit like a hawk.
Who gave it a four star?
It's five now though, so everything's been fixed.
I got mailing to fix that right up.
I did, I did, I did, I actually went back up
on it so, I'm checking, why am I so vain?
All right, what's your favorite manga
Bookwalker boys?
Or visual novel, as I think that's some of the most popular.
Visual novel?
You mean a light novel?
You can't get visual novels.
It's just a premise.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a fake fan.
Can we cut that?
Can we redo that?
What's your favorite, not visual non-joke-out.
Light novel.
They also sell light novels as well as manga,
and I believe that's some of the most popular stuff on there.
As I don't really know, where else you can buy light novels.
You can't really buy light novels legally
in any other website from my understanding, at least.
So support the industry.
Yeah, it's been a great place to read light novels in there.
That's where I read the, uh, fuck so.
Fuck so.
My favorite one, which I forgot the name.
I did actually forget the name of it.
I feel like I get a glimpse into what
anime are gonna become because normally the most popular
light novels, I see just, oh yeah,
a year later, I'm like, that's an anime.
Yeah, I go on to Borkawker
and I see like the most popular light novel
that I don't know the name of
and I'm like, that's gonna be an anime soon.
And it usually happens.
Yeah, it always happens.
Well, I always said, not a light novel
manga or like Glenipidoo.
Glipier.
Like, I don't know what happened.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember that was big on Bookwalker
and I'm gonna turn to anime and I was like,
oh, I know that.
That's the one with the bunny.
Because I saw it on Book Walker.
I saw it on Book Walker.
If I can give us a sweet boy recommendation.
Also, I just wanna say that you said boys,
but I'm also a female.
Boys and girls. Everyone is a boy.
Everyone's a boy.
So Sydney, what's your favorite manga
slash Lightenov worn bookwalk?
I mean, there's just too much to pick from Garne.
Is that okay, Maylee?
Is that good?
Is that good?
Can you put the gun down now?
I actually need to go.
I actually need to go to like the Bookwalk website
just to refresh myself on like that.
If you actually looked at my Bookwalker account,
it's like all Yowie.
Of course.
Because most of the time I buy it for the videos,
but I actually have bought some like, unironically,
like 10 dance, I've bought all of 10 dance.
There's only five volumes and it's actually like
a really fucking good Yowie.
You recommend to me that actually.
Un ironically, imagine like a shonen levels of hype
but with ballroom dancing and it's howl spicy.
Like it's actually pretty good.
Yeah, I mean I'm gonna shout out the index series,
which I've actually read light novels on there.
I haven't read it, but love the anime.
Yeah, so if you are unsatisfied or confused by season three,
please, please read the light novel of Book Walker
on Book Walker because that's like one of the best arcs
and index before like pre-New Testament,
but I'm not gonna get into that, but yeah, please read the Light-Nus.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a Bible on Book Walker.
I could give a good recommendation
if you're feeling depressed, maybe, and wanna feel more
I'm more depressed.
Oh, okay, I thought I was going somewhere else then.
I would say Akunohana is not a bad shout.
That's a really good manga.
Exactly.
What is it about?
That's a really good, flowers of evil.
It's a really good manga.
They have an anime, but it's just, it's not really an enemy.
It's like, what happens?
So this guy, ugh, he kind of just about
how everybody kind of sucks in reality.
There, that's the description.
That's basically, yeah.
Is that it?
It's literally just about a dude who just gets himself
into a really shitty situation
that he can't get out of.
And then he just realizes, man, humans fucking suck.
Yeah, essentially it's like he tries to not be normal
when he's handling the situation.
He doesn't wanna be as seen as somebody
that can be described or like,
a scene of like when they're describing him
like something that can be son as cliche,
but he's actually the most cliche fucker out there.
Damn, down.
So humans may suck, but thank God,
Book Walker's collection of amazing manga
and light novels doesn't.
You don't have to deal with humans
because you can just go on Bookwalker
and forget about everything.
Exactly.
They also have Attack on Titan,
on there, which if you wanna keep up with.
What's that?
I've never, I don't know, it's just a little small,
anything.
I've heard of this series.
Black Butler as well, if you're wondering.
I think I've heard of that one actually.
Yeah, I made it one or two videos on it one point.
If you wanna ever know what it's like to be a prostitute
in other world, J.K. Haru is a sex worker, fuckers, go.
Do you wanna explain that one?
Yeah, I was gonna say a lot of words
that I feel like need explaining that.
I mean, it's kind of in description of the title.
It's literally J.K. Haru is a sex worker
in another world.
How does that,
it's like into species reviews,
but like the other way around?
Yeah, like she's the prostitute.
Oh.
Yeah.
Is that, like, I've legitimately heard good things about that
from like several people.
It's actually very well written.
It's very saucy, makes me blush
when I had to read the description.
So it's like aliens or so like,
so like so like, so like, so like,
what's like the real hook for that series?
Would you say?
It's essentially just kind of like,
there's a lot of like little mini twists in there.
I'm not gonna get the spoilers
because go read it yourselves,
but essentially like if you wanna know
what's like being a sex worker
and another world,
You can't do what about it.
I feel like I can't relate to either of those.
Yeah.
You can try reading it and we can.
Maybe I can relate to being a sex work.
I never thought to myself, I want to go to another world,
nor have I thought to myself I want to be a broth.
What have you really even lived?
One line novel series I wanna recommend
because it just finished, as of recently
the anime just finished, and the line novel just finished,
is Origai-do.
Are you gonna recommend to read instead of watch?
Yeah.
As always, Jerry.
No, actually, I would recommend the anime as well,
but if you wanna get like a full gleaming,
into like the characters and everything,
because that's the selling point.
And then that's a light novel?
Yeah, that's a line novel.
So it was originally a light novel series.
It just finished as of recently.
I think it has 14 volumes.
It's a chunky boy.
It's a chunky boy, but I haven't read it all yet,
but I kind of read up to like volume six or seven
around when like season two of the anime finished.
And it is really fucking good.
Like that, that it almost exceeds light novel quality.
It's almost like just a regular standard book,
because the characters are just so well written.
And it's a lot like Akunahana,
where it's about just how shitty humans can be.
And some dude just trying to-
That's me.
Fit it, yeah.
It's just a really,
it's a really just relatable story
of how one guy is just trying to fit into society,
but he just does not like how society runs.
He just doesn't like how, you know,
the whole social hierarchy of high school
is, you know, constructed and everything.
And he's like, no, fuck that shit.
Like, I'm not gonna conform.
I'm not gonna conform to the machine.
Yeah.
I'm gonna be my own thing,
but then he realized the difficulties
of being his own thing
and how difficult it is to, I guess, trust humans
is probably the best way to say it.
It's a really good read, I would recommend it.
Trust humans.
Why this sounds so alien?
You do not trust the humans?
No, honestly, like the protagonist, like Hachiman,
is probably one of the most interesting protagonists
I've ever seen in an anime or online.
I mean, he's one of the most iconic animas
and iconic characters in light novels.
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Okay.
He's just so completely different.
He's almost like,
like a deconstruction of a protagonist.
Okay. Yeah, so it's really interesting.
You want something a little different,
I would recommend Nautiago.
Thank God I can read it.
Does it hit different?
You said different, right?
I've ruined the word different for myself.
Every time I hear the word different now.
I've read a lot of light novels,
but this one just strikes comparatively.
Like it is, it does hit different.
Yes, I recommend it.
And thank God you can read it on book.
Can you read all of them on Book Walker?
Yeah.
There's a lot of them.
Go read on book.
I really need to just check.
They also have the Yowie called Public Sex,
which is exactly what you think of it.
It speaks for itself, doesn't it?
Let's read your public sex, Yowie.
Honey, you haven't recommended yet.
I'm trying to.
Okay, 12, so almost all of them.
You can read almost all authority guide on Book Walker.
So go check it out.
Do I really want to recommend domestic girlfriend again?
No, you don't have to, it's okay.

Thank you very much to Bookwalker
for sponsoring this episode.
Back to the video.
Knowing you personally, I feel that a lot of your lack of confidence
stemmed from a certain event you had with another internet personality,
namely Leafy.
Like, I've already explained the bare, like the overall story from my perspective,
but what was it like for you, like being in one of his videos and being called out by him?
Well, obviously that plays a large part as well, and like my lack of confidence also,
I just don't think I'm a very confident person,
But with the leafy thing.
How did it all start?
Like what was the, like how did you,
when did you make that video and then?
I made that video actually,
because I, you know how obviously I used to be
that predictable kind of weedy cringe girl?
But up until I think the first time I went to Japan.
And then I came back from Japan
and I looked at myself and like,
what the fuck was wrong with me?
And that's when I made that video kind of
as like, oh my God, like people like this exist.
Like poking fun.
Yeah, poking fun.
It was kind of like a satire.
It was too good though.
It was way too real.
You are you under.
You understood your core audience way too well.
When I first saw that, I thought it was legit.
Yeah.
But, and then, like, this one creepy guy kept re-uploading it,
and he kept uploading to 4chan, obviously, yeah.
And then I deleted it when I was like 17
because I was like, I don't want this kind of.
So how long was it up before you deleted it?
About a day.
A day?
Like a few days, maybe, but not, it was not up long.
Wait, so what?
It just, like, blew up straight away?
No.
And then a few years later, like,
I haven't been doing YouTube in a bit.
I was just, like, still, like, in England.
And then I get this notification from this girl that I knew, like, who kind of like goes on for a chance,
stuff like that.
And she said, hey, this video is this video of you?
And it was me, obviously, it was a video.
And it had about 60,000 views.
And I'm just like, initially, I was pretty, like, embarrassed.
I didn't feel good.
Like, to me, it's 60,000 views at that time.
That's a lot.
Yeah.
And then I kind of, like, felt pretty shitty about that.
But then, not even a week later, I wake up in the middle of the night to my phone just
constantly vibrating with all of these messages from people I went to high school with,
people I've met maybe once or twice, all on Facebook, all on, you know, Sky, Twitter,
just everywhere of like, hey, you're in a Leafy video and you're pretty cringe.
This is like at the peak of Leafy.
This is actually his most viewed video ever.
Is it actually?
Really?
How many views does it have?
It had, last time I checked like 20 million, something like that.
It was a lot.
And just, and it sucks.
because I woke up to hundreds of emails
of people telling me to kill myself,
and this lasted for months.
Yeah, because I remember every time, like, every,
because how the ball kept rolling
was that every time, like, the comments would start to die down,
there would be another cringe compilation.
And it was the cringe compilations
that kept this going on for so long,
because it appeared in the leafy video,
which was just like, which just lit the fucking fire.
And then he got, you got all the leafy fans,
and then as soon as that, like, we, we, we,
you basically hold up in like a bunker
and just like kept away from the internet
and as soon as you like came out,
another cringe compilation would come out.
And then I'd be getting high.
Still even to this day people I know message me like
with the video like hey I just saw you in a cringe compilation
and kind of like slightly make fun of me
and obviously it doesn't feel initially for years
like of course like I like it was awful like I didn't touch my phone
I'd cry a lot.
I went through a pretty bad period not gonna lie like I was pretty,
It was awful and no amount of words
or like any kind of emotion I could show you now
could show you how terrible it kind of was.
Oh, I mean, just imagining it is just fucking horrible.
Yeah, no, it was terrible.
Because I can't imagine it gets to the point
where people I knew from like my hometown,
people who like didn't know about like anime and stuff.
Like I think that was the point when I remember
if like really hit you that man, this has gone really far
when you're high school friends.
People would recognize me in person.
It's like that's 20 million views on one video
but on all those compilations,
those like, yeah, it could easily be up
to like 100 million views.
Exactly.
And yeah, but, you know,
there's a lot of fucking people.
Obviously talking about it now,
like it doesn't feel great,
but I think I've, of course, it's been so long.
I've accepted it, you know,
when people say like, oh, you're really like,
you're saying salts, I'll be like, dude,
like, who the fuck are you?
Like, I don't give a shit.
I mean, I think the fact that you've managed
to like live through that
and still being like,
I still want to like stay on the internet.
I think it's pretty fucking.
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know,
I know I would immediately leave the internet.
Yeah, that was very, I definitely almost didn't even try with YouTube
because like, like, but Gartt really like.
I mean, I don't blame you.
Like I think anybody would be like, no, never going on.
I mean, it took a lot of convincing to try and get Sydney back on the internet.
And it was, it was something where I knew that Sydney had a personality that could like
succeed on YouTube, but just, it was just trying to convince her that, hey, just ignore all these
comments that you've been hearing over the past.
Fuck the haters.
Yeah, fuck the haters.
Fuck the haters.
Fuck the haters.
Fuck the hate comments.
and just like just be you.
Cause like one thing I can appreciate about Sydney
is that she doesn't know how to be anyone but herself.
Like what you see is like what you get.
So like that like can also backfire sometimes
where you know people like people think
you know where like the cringe compilation and stuff like that.
Yeah.
But you know you're where you are now
and I think you're doing pretty fucking well.
Yeah.
I mean if there's one thing I can say,
you're a personality, Sidney.
You are definitely a personality.
Congrats on being a personality.
You made it.
Dude, I felt so bad because I remember,
like, I don't know if you remember this,
but I didn't know you, but I knew you
because of voice acting, right?
Do you remember this?
Dude, I feel so bad about this.
But now I don't give a shit.
I know, I was like no use, I don't care.
Yeah.
So I knew Sydney from voice acting.
And so when I met Sydney,
when I first saw her in person, I was like,
oh shit, it's her.
You're like, hey.
And that was like the reaction that Sydney like was so scared of
because there'd be so many times when we'd be walking around
and she'd just see like a person like turn around
and she's like, and she's like, and Sydney would be like,
he knows, he knows, I don't, we need to leave,
we need to leave right now.
Oh God, oh God, oh God.
Not the greatest, and I'm like, oh, I'm a celebrity,
but more of like, oh shit.
I need the other pair of someone.
I first met Sidney and then I realized that it was her
and I asked her, I was like, Sydney, are you, you just,
Like, cringe girl?
I think I said that and you were like.
You said that?
Yeah, I'm just looking down,
I'm like, I'm never gonna talk to this guy again.
She was like, I have no idea what compelled me to ask you.
I think as I was talking to you,
it just came in my head and I was like, say it, Connor,
say it, fucking say it.
I don't know why, I would never do that normally.
I would normally go home and fucking analyze,
enhance, you know, but yeah, I asked you and then I
remember when you told the story the first time
about how hard it was, I was like, oh shit.
That's awkward, I should not ever.
I'd be like I don't know him well enough
to tell him to stop.
Like I don't mind now obviously,
but back then I was just like,
because it's weird for me because I found out
about the whole leafy thing after I made you.
Yeah, yeah.
So like when I first met you,
all I knew you was Gant's partner.
Yeah, yeah.
So it was really like weird hearing that story
like afterwards because I don't know if you told me
or someone else told me, maybe I think maybe you told me
and I think it was when we first,
yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I think I got you drunk enough when you were like,
by the way, I was in a leafy video.
And something came up and like,
you were like, oh, do you do stuff online?
I'm like, no, but maybe you see me at that time.
Yeah, and I don't know,
maybe it's because I wasn't on YouTube
as much at the time.
Like I was on YouTube, but I wasn't going around
watching other YouTube as at the time.
I'm cripplingly addicted to YouTube.
Yeah, and also like at that point as well,
I hadn't been on four channel years, right?
So I didn't know what the fuck
was happening over there as well.
So then when I saw that video,
after you told,
me about it, I was like, oh, okay,
this is the video of people talking about.
But I think, yeah, but it was really weird.
Like, I don't know if I'm maybe the first one.
I think you actually were,
like, you're the first and only person
who's just like, didn't know.
I'll take that.
I don't think it was that bad.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think it was that bad either.
I think that way was pretty obvious to me,
but I guess it was.
I think it's just because it's anime.
Like anime's cringe.
Yeah.
So that's why.
Especially back then as well.
Back then we were like,
we aboos were the first.
of like, I mean, when you saw the stuff,
when you see videos of like,
because sometimes, I don't know why I love doing this,
I just like search like 2008 conventions
or 2010 conventions and just watch vlogs
from people with like 100 views.
Cause you get some of the like best shit
from doing that because there's like so much
in drama between these friends.
Yeah.
Like Cody left on day two.
Because he refused to share the bed with me.
And it's like, it'll be like a hundred,
hundred of you vlog.
It'll be the fucking like,
Shane's chat in the bed.
And I couldn't fucking believe it.
It'll be one, like, I remember this one time,
and I, because when I went, I guessed at a convention,
like indie, some Indiana convention,
not indie popcorn, another one.
And this convention had been going on for a while.
So I was going back every single year
and finding vlogs of it.
Yeah. And then there was this one guy from like 2010,
and he opens up the vlog with,
yeah, so Cody's not here, you guys know why,
and doesn't explain why.
And for some reason I run, that's so,
I killed him.
I straight murdered him.
Because like mid-2000s conventions, I remember,
it just seemed like you're walking into another world.
Like the rules of, like, I remember when just the rules of normal society
did not apply to anime conventions, you know?
That's why it's so fun.
I usually hate watching, like, cringe compilation videos,
because I just, I personally can't stand out.
I don't find them funny.
But the one types of cringe compilations I fucking love
is like the mid-2000s, like, marriage proposals at conventions
at conventions.
Oh, no, no.
No.
The fucking best.
It's like, it's like watching like,
it's just, it's always,
it's always outside of the convention center
and there's a crowd of people.
All the same cosplayers, always.
It's usually like Narihina or somebody like,
it's always Narahina.
I don't know what it is.
I think one of my favorite videos on YouTube of all time
is this video called 2001, an anime Odyssey.
Oh my God, you show.
I remember showing it to them at Christmas,
and it's just basically a,
highlight real of this very old anime documentary
that follows like these,
so good, follows these people
at certain anime conventions.
And like, this was before the mid 2000s,
this was like the late 90s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And oh my God, some of the stuff
that was going on there was just-
What was the name of the dude?
Johnny Otaku, Johnny Otaku,
my man, the legend.
Where he was like, yeah, I'm gonna be a fun-emation version.
Was he ever though, I hope.
No, I think he was banned.
He was very, yeah.
I actually, I actually,
searched up his story after I saw that video.
So do you wanna explain Johnny Otaku to people who might not know?
Johnny Otaku is one of the most like,
like one of the creepiest kind of self-confident anime fans
you could like, you could like ever see.
He's one of the most infamous anime fans, I'd say.
The kind of guy who brings you to a convention
is like, oh, I know everyone here.
Yeah, I know the staff.
He's like not even a guest, but he's like,
I know the staff.
Yeah.
So I remember in the documentary,
he was like running his own radio show.
that was like an anime radio show
and he was trying to be a voice actor
that he said, he was saying, he was,
no, no, he was, he was, he was an aspiring voice actor.
Which, you know, going off tangent, if you,
I don't know why people use the word aspiring.
Essentially, they send shivers down my spine.
Like when I go on a Twitter profile
and I see the word aspiring and I'm like, come on dude,
you can do better.
Aspiring, aspiring voice actor just means
I own a Yeti Snowball.
That's all that means.
Just say you're a voice.
or just don't put it in, just like one or the other,
you know, but yeah, he was an aspiring voice actor
and I searched up his story after I saw the video
and I saw like this Funimation panel where they were talking
about this person called like John or Johnny or something
that tried so hard to get an audition
that they literally had to ban him from the Funimation offices
because he was like stalking employees and all this shit.
And then I kind of just connected the dots.
I was like, wait a minute, there's this guy,
called Johnny in this one video who really aspires
to be like Vic Miniana.
And then there's this another story
by Funimation employees who's talking about this guy
called Johnny stalking Funimation employees
at their offices and I'm like, ooh, that's yikes.
Can I just say, can we get Johnny Otaku?
Oh my God, Johnny Otaku.
That would be fucking left.
Johnny, if you're watching this, please come to Japan.
I know you love this country, just come here,
we'll put you on the podcast.
Yeah, I wanna hear the story.
I implore the viewers at home,
just type in any anime convention
and type in like, either 2010 to 50 vlogs.
They're so funny.
Watch 2001 in anime, Odyssey.
It's a 30 minute video, but my God, it's, it's,
it's, it's, you'll have the time of your life.
Oh my God.
But like, going back to you, Sinney,
going back to your, your, the Japan trip,
I would say that completely ruined your perception
of like, of, like, anime and weaves in general.
So, do you wanna explain, like, why that happened?
Or what happened?
Were you the stereotypical,
before, like everything Japan was better.
Describe yourself, describe what you were like before
and describe what happened and described what you liked after.
I guess like, okay, the beginning was like,
I had a Japanese foreign exchange student
because I was like, oh, Japanese people
Nihango Dessu.
And it's like, kind of like,
Jerry dies inside.
My nuts just went into this time.
But I definitely, up until I think I met her,
I calmed down a lot, I'm like,
she's pretty normal.
How come she doesn't know all these anime, saw?
And then she let me stay,
at her house in Japan after she went back home after a year.
And I remember, I was 17.
Okay.
So I went to her house and then I kind of just went everywhere in Tokyo
that was like anything.
And the whole time, like I love the trip.
It was, don't get me wrong, but it did,
do I think that it was anime, you know, heaven here?
Like, do I think like-
So what was your image of Japan before coming here
for the first time?
I thought I'd come here and I'd be like an instant,
like everyone be like, oh, Kauai Blonde girl.
Just like, oh, you're so,
do you want to be an internet?
You want to be an idol in Japan?
just take over the country.
Remind her, she says she had no self-confidence.
You know, that?
Once I grew up and realized like, man, shit.
Life really hits you like a track.
And then like once I grew up, I'm like,
shit, how come I left Japan and I wasn't,
like, prime minister?
That's like every white guy when he goes to your new country.
Because like, like, self-cogic,
I was like, what if I'm not,
I said, like,
and then I, then I made, like,
I started reflecting, yeah, definitely just on everything
and I'm like, fuck, anime lied to me!
This is a normal country.
And then just life was off.
Cause like you, you, I remember you were telling me stories
about how you were like cosplay in Akihabra
and stuff like that.
Because like when I went to Japan,
it was 2012 and about, I think, a year prior
or a year and a half prior, Anohana finished.
Oh yeah.
And, um,
We went to, and I really love Onohana, like,
but so I went to the village for Chichibu,
which is where it was based off of.
And since I was like the blonde, blue-eyed girl,
they're like, oh, Menma.
So they made me, like, dress up as Menma for a picture.
Who made you dress up?
We went to the place that was like,
because they were having a festival for Onohana.
Right.
And then there was like a street completely dedicated
towards, like, looking like the anime,
like they had a secret base and everything.
And so we went to the store.
I think where they were like beginning to run everything.
And then people were just like, they were like,
oh shit, we need somebody to like cosplay
to gain more people to like wanna come over.
And then, so they just like, they asked by Japanese too.
Find a white girl.
And then, cause I think she's meant to be white
in the anime, if I remember, like they were,
but why's her name Menma?
I don't get into that.
Yeah.
I think she's supposed to be Japanese.
Shit.
You know, anime being anime,
it's like, let's just make them not Japanese.
Yeah.
So then they made me where Menma cost
Like the white dress.
Yeah.
And just, I don't think I've ever felt so wanted.
Like Japanese people were just like,
I just remember like the flashing, like I couldn't see,
they're just like telling me to pose.
And I was just like, shit, I'm just like,
I'm just blonde hair, blue eyed and wearing them at my dress
and I've never felt so loved.
I don't know if that means you got too much love
or you didn't get any of that right?
Man, that was my story.
Didn't you get accused of being.
racist. Oh, now we're gonna go down.
Why not, why not?
Yeah, let's just jump right into it.
Yeah.
So I went, so okay, I, when I was studying in England,
I quickly had to pick a thing I want to major in
and I just picked Japanese, all right, I'll say it.
I majored in Japanese.
Of course.
That we've, of course.
That we.
Yeah.
And, um, fuck.
So I was, so I went to a university in London and, um,
God, I really hope he doesn't watch us.
Um, so okay.
So I had a Japanese professor and we'd obviously write essays as you do in university.
Yeah.
And he let us pick the genre, like what we want to write about exactly.
And I picked about like kind of Japan's fascination with Westerners and like their looks.
It kind of like, you know, media, like stuff like that.
And so I felt really good about it.
Like I thought it was the best I ever wrote.
Gart read it.
He's like, I actually thought it was a good, it was a good essay.
And then I was like so excited.
And like, this is the best.
And I was, I'd never been so hyped for a grade.
I get it back.
That's how you know you did good shit.
And you're like, I can't wait to get that fucking A.
But then I get like my, the grades back two weeks later.
And it's a zero out of a hundred.
And I'm just like, what the fuck, right?
And so I message him like, why did I get a zero for this?
He's like, because it was, he never explicitly said racist, but he's like, you were very
insensitive to Japanese people and just like, just like, just a lot of stuff.
And I remember just like crying because I'm like, oh my God, it's such like calling me racist.
So was your professor like full Japanese?
Yeah, he was full, he literally came,
like he was older Japanese man
who came to like teach Japanese like culture
in the university and, yeah.
Maybe he just, maybe he just gave him a pill
he couldn't swallow it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She called me out.
This is my girl called us out like that.
Zero!
Yeah, I mean, when they, when he's,
when you told me that, I'm like,
but like every single sign near our house
is like white people.
Yeah.
No, it's always white people.
It's like the gym.
I don't see a single Asian person.
Yeah, right?
He's always ripped white dudes.
Yeah.
The longer I live here, the more I'm like,
man, I shouldn't have got a fucking zero on.
It should have been hundreds.
Like a thousand.
I remember you go back like, great and you're like,
I had to convince you for the week that you just weren't racist.
What?
Don, am I racist?
Maybe I'm racist.
Maybe I am like.
You were like fucking Martin Luther.
It's just like, I'm just dropping these truth bombs.
You just can't handle it.
I was like convinced I was racist.
I was convinced.
Is that how it works?
Is that how racist?
And I'm just like, shit, what if I have internal racism
and I never even knew.
Internal racism?
What the fuck?
But yeah, he almost, I almost failed university
because of that.
Wow, wow.
He made me rewrite it and he actually gave me good points for,
I had to write, but I had to read memoir.
But didn't you drop out anyway?
I did.
Jokes on you.
But I wanted that credit.
So, yeah.
You could argue that the professor was being racist to you.
Shit.
Wow, that's a V-source open.
Reverse Uno card.
Excuse me, sir, I believe you are the racist one.
Common end.
That's just 2020, no.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
So like I gotta ask, what was like
the anime community like when were you in like your full weeb phase?
Because you like-
All of racist.
Yeah.
Like fully embraced it, right?
Like how was anime conventions and everything for you?
Yeah, I wish I, I never went to anime convention
until like 2017.
Yeah, my first anime convention was like 20,
20, like 2012 or something like that.
That's still early.
Yeah.
Yeah, I hadn't even started YouTube at that point.
Yeah.
Wait, so what year was the first anime convention
you went to?
2009.
Oh my God.
Nine.
Yeah, it was anime Milwaukee,
anime Milwaukee, hit me up, bro.
No, it's anime Milwaukee, and I remember,
because obviously I was a full,
and everyone's like, glomp, I'm like,
oh my god, that's so original.
Oh my god.
That's so-
I got shivers down my spine here in that way.
I just lost the game and I'm like,
that's the most clever fucking shit.
I think of it.
Wait, what is glomping?
Glomping is when you, do you want to explain it?
You don't know what glombe is, I'm surprised.
Is that the thing where you jump on?
Yeah, they're just like, glab.
It's like, it's like you come up to a random person
and you literally just hug them from behind.
Yeah, I thought it's sometimes it's,
it's like the most,
aggressive hug you can.
It's like a rugby tackle, that's what it's like.
It's actually all right.
Why is like so many things in anime conventions
just sound raping?
Like I didn't know you could be assaulted by a hug
until I experienced the glomp.
I'm just like, oh, that felt dirty.
What the hell was that you showered?
What do you think of free hugs?
Like I can't fucking stand the free hugs though.
I'm like, why don't want to hug a sweaty stranger?
That's the last thing I ever want to do.
I actually like, before the whole Rona thing happened,
like I remember going to
Shibia and almost every time there's like a
free hug sign, I'm like, what?
Who does this? It's 2019, who does this?
If it's like a viewer who's like,
I want a hug, I'm like, I got you.
But if it's like just someone standing there
who's been hugged by like a hundred different people
that damn, I don't want your hugs.
Yeah.
Your herpy-ridden hugs, get it off of me.
But like, yeah, because it's like,
you don't know what they want from you.
Like, do you want to feel my like tender breasts
on your sweating, showerless body?
Yeah, exactly.
It just looks really rapey to me.
Like, I just like, I just like, I just like,
I'm in like the one meter radius
and I can smell the like, like, axe.
I can smell the virginity from here.
I can feel it in my pores, yeah.
No, I don't know, I just, even when I was younger,
I just thought the shit was stupid.
Like, yeah, I don't know if, like,
maybe something British, I don't know, we just.
I don't know, like,
normal thought it's stupid.
Yeah, I mean, I just like my personal space
and I remember like, like,
like, go, go into anime conventions back in the day
just seemed like everyone looked for an excuse
just to violate your personal space
as much as possible.
Oh, yeah.
And, man, do you remember like yowie paddles
on that entire fucking face?
I wasn't around when that was,
yeah, I was welcome, you're lucky then, okay?
I've watched a number of videos on the yowie paddle.
Oh yeah, Red Bard's videos right on them?
Yeah, red bars videos really, yeah.
But I watched that, I was like, I'm so glad
I wasn't a conviction during that time.
Yeah, it just seemed like so.
Yeah, yeah, what I heard about, like,
so people just hit you with a wooden pad.
And no one had a problem with this.
That's just a physical assault with extra steps, isn't it?
Yeah.
Physical assault with attitude.
It's like, you know, it's like,
if I just put the word like hentai on a belt
and we're like, it's the hentai belt.
Son, it's time.
I'm getting the hentai belt out.
Father, please.
I saw the, what I'd heard about the Yawi panel, right?
I heard stories about it's like,
this is gonna look amazing.
This thing, everyone's hitting it.
It must be amazing if everyone's just letting it fly.
And I see it and it's just like burned in Yawi,
like sans serif font into a panel.
And I'm like, this is what
Everyone let each other hit me?
There was like, I've seen pictures of like old conventions
where they were selling it at like.
Yeah, they sold them.
Yeah, and I'm like, what is this fucking hunger games?
Like it's just like rarely available weapons.
It's like, go to war everybody.
It just proves that they will literally buy anything
at an anime convention if you just put the words Yowie on it.
Like, it's a fucking wooden panel.
There was literally nothing special about this.
Why are people buying this?
Material costs is like 10 cents.
You're selling it for like five bucks.
It's so much shit in anime convention.
Like, who's buying this?
Like, I, you know, oh my God.
I mean, I don't know, I feel like it's just evolved.
I think I'm British as well.
Now if you wanna sell something,
okay, now if you wanna sell something
in an anime convention, just put a fucking I-gall face on it.
Oh yeah, that shit will sell like hot cakes, you know.
I remember I would see people go around with like these,
these steins, like the metal like, steins.
I'm like, why is everyone holding a Stein?
And then I found out like a really big, like,
German, like mug.
And it was like, like,
And there was just someone in like the vendors
was just selling like weird kind of concoctions.
And I was like, this is why?
Why are you carrying around a metal ass jug all day
that you can refill?
When you can just drink some fucking water out of a,
like, you have a water bottle?
I don't hold a fucking glass all day.
Yeah, this thing was huge.
And I'm just like, what is wrong with anime fans?
Don't buy anything that's put in front of them.
It's a deal though.
Maybe if you looked closely at the Stein.
It's because you're at the bottom.
It's like an arm, it's the Yowie Stein.
I don't know.
I just think my parents just fucking,
they just told me everything that you don't need
is a scam, Connor.
Like seven up, you don't need that,
you got water, it's a scam.
Seven up's a scam.
Seven up is pretty bomb though, not gonna lie.
Yeah.
I prefer seven up over Sprite.
Yeah, same man.
As a kid and now I just think all lemonade tastes
like, just, I don't know, McDonald's Sprite.
McDonald's Sprite's the best.
What's a different thing?
McDonald's Sprite is just a regular Sprite.
Oh my God, have you never had McDonald's American?
McDonald's Sprite.
Actually, why would I walk into a McDonald's in America?
When I used to, that is true, that is true.
When I used to work at McDonald's,
because it's like a syrup, right?
It's like a, yeah.
So when we had to like connect it, one time I got like the Coke syrup
on my hands and I was like,
and it was like,
like the sweet it was, I imagine that's what 15-year-old me
thought doing a line of Coke was like.
This shit was so sweet and juicy.
Oh my God, it was amazing.
It was amazing.
Succulent.
It was amazing.
That was beautiful and that was the only good thing
that ever happened working.
Did you guys ever see the Yowie guy
at like the first, some of the first conventions
he went to?
A Yowie guy?
So, okay, I don't know, there was this guy, right?
I don't know how he got all around the world,
but he'd go around some of the biggest conventions
and you'd know it was the Yowie guy
because there would be this one booth
that would be setting like Yawi and Dijinches
and there would just be this guy
that would just keep shouting out,
Yowie, get that there would be this guy.
You're Yowie!
Oh my God, yes.
I've met him.
You've met him.
I've met him.
He was at a convention in Finland.
Yeah, I think I saw you in America, like, last month.
Why are you here?
I saw him at like an A-SEN convention,
and then I saw him again on like MCM two months later.
I don't know how he just, like, and he would always shout this out.
And I remember how-
So you're telling me that Mr. Yowie is also Mr. Worldwide.
Best a Worldwide Yowie.
I remember because of how aggressive,
He would fucking sell Yawi to girls.
Like girls would come up and he goes,
Yo girl, what do you want?
What yaoi do you want?
You, this girl is buying gay porn, everyone.
She is buying Yowie.
Hi, what Yowie do you want?
And then the guys would come up
and there would be a different guy selling
the Jinchi's at the same booth.
And it would be like this indiscreet drug dealer
being like, yo, yo, yo boy, what do you want?
Like no one has to see, I'll fucking bag it up.
No one has to see it'll be coming in a paper bag.
You will be eye penetration stop?
Yeah, you're just slipping on this.
Slip it on this.
Yeah, and I don't know, like,
I think he's gotten banned with something now
because I haven't seen him.
That would annoy the fuck out of me.
Yeah, because like, thinking back, I'm like,
that probably wasn't cool for like any girl
who just wanted to indiscreetly buy some Yowie
or something like that.
Oh, it's like next level sexual assault.
It's like, it's like the most like big brain sexual assault
where it's like, I'm not actually assaulting you sexually,
but I kinda am by words.
Yeah, verbal.
I love anime conventions, but I just feel like,
I'm like out of my league, man.
I'm like, I get there and I'm like,
I love the atmosphere, but sometimes you just see weird shit
and you're like, all right, I'm out, I'm a head out.
I don't know what it is when I hear about,
you go to AX or something and hear about a group of guys
who have met on Discord and like rent out an Airbnb together.
For some reason, 90% of the time,
that just never ends up well at all.
Oh, I did that and it went fucking horrible.
I hear that I'm just like, that's how murders happen.
The thing I thought was like, right,
listen, this hotel's expensive.
I don't care who is gonna be in this room.
I need to just fill it and get this price down.
That's it first.
Yeah. I'm broke as fuck.
I need this hotel to cost $100 for this whole thing,
or I'm out.
Yeah, you kind of like take the area of like the hotel room
and you're like, how many times can I divide this
by a human body?
So, okay, that's how many bodies are sleeping
in this room right now.
This is why you've got to become the host.
If you got the host, no one can argue
whether you get like the bat.
Right, right.
It's like, well, I arranged it.
What are you gonna do?
It's in my name.
What do you mean?
Maybe take the floor you wouldn't dare.

to the video.
Do you guys have at least that one
like anime convention story
that you share with people though?
Cause like, I have like a million.
Yeah, well I mean like but that one
that just sticks out to you, it's just like you meet somebody
or I should just, I guess specify that one convention story
where somebody was the biggest fucking asshole.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah, because I, we have one.
Morals just go out the window, I swear.
I, I should, we should probably tell this one
when we're both on this podcast.
Yeah.
Because I remember the one, the one guy that ever stood out
to both of us.
I've told this story on Sydney's channel before,
but it was the very first time me and Sydney
had met in person and probably started dating.
So anyone who's been in a long distance relationship
will know how difficult that is,
like when you don't get to see your partner very often.
So you have to like treasure every moment
that you get to be with your partner.
Now this was the very first time we, me and Sydney
had met in person and it was 2014 ASEN.
Yep.
And on the last day, we had to say our goodbyes.
Yeah.
And obviously it was a very, very, a very, very.
I know this one.
It was a very, very tearful goodbye.
Because obviously at the time, we didn't know
when we would next get to see each other, right?
So Sidney was in my arms and she was like crying.
It was like, it wasn't like a subtle cry.
It was a proper cry.
Like an ugly cry.
It was like makeup spewed all over your face kind of crying.
Right, right.
Like he's going to war, man.
Yeah, yeah.
And like, I'm like comforting her.
And just, just as we're just,
as we're just like hugging together,
I just hear in the corner of my ear,
Giguck!
And I was just like,
No way.
And I was just like.
It's not even the worst part yet.
I love this story so much.
And I just saw, I just be like,
hi.
And there's just, just this guy standing at me.
And he had like, he had like the, you know,
the surprise face.
And, you know, I,
I was trying to like signal like look at Sydney,
look at Sydney, look at Sydney, like just give us a moment
because this is my very first convention in America
and like probably my very first convention
as like a YouTuber so I wasn't used to getting recognized.
If I'd, if this happened now I'd be like, dude,
can you give us a moment?
But back then I did not know how to deal with it.
You didn't know how to say hold on.
Yeah, I didn't have to say no basically.
So he was like, can I take a picture?
And I'm just like, inside I was like,
is this guy serious?
Yeah, right.
this guy fucking serious right now.
And I'm just like, I'm like, um, okay, sure.
And then so like we separate, right?
Yeah, we, we separate.
I go to the side and he comes to-
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, no, I got this, I got this.
So I got this, so he tries taking some pictures, right?
And he does the thing where the first selfie
he's not happy with.
So he's just like, let me try again, okay.
Okay, no.
You get three and I'm like, fuck off.
And he tries a third time.
And he's still not happy.
and then he looks over to Sydney,
makeup all over her face, tears down her,
tears down her fucking face,
all like all over her cheeks,
and I'm just like, don't do it.
Don't fucking do it, don't fucking do it.
Can you take a picture, Russ, please?
I was still crying and I'm like, sure?
Because I didn't know, I was so, I did it.
Oh, love me.
He has the goal to ask Sydney to take a picture.
for us. I'm like, I was just, I went from like really,
really sad that I'm not gonna see Sydney for a while
to just like confused angry to be like, is this guy for real?
Is this he for real?
Is he for real?
Like how are you feeling in that moment?
I was pretty pissed, I was like angry
but I was like, because I thought maybe like,
is this normal?
Is this normal?
Yes.
And like he's like big star, I should know.
So he should know better and just, I took it.
At least he wasn't like, hey, Sydney,
Do you want to be in the photo with us?
Oh my God.
That would have been a bit of time.
Clean yourself up and then get in the photo.
Yeah.
Bathrooms over there.
Put some water on Quebec.
Speaking of our bathroom, I remember,
this isn't pretty much for a story,
but that was the worst time someone asked me for a photo.
I was queuing up to take a shit at AX.
I kid you not, right?
I'm taking a shit and the guy,
so you've got to like line,
because the fucking toilet's a tiny
in the AX convention.
Yeah, yeah.
And the guy's having a piss on the cubicle.
Another cub called the urinal, and I'm just on my phone.
He turns around, he's like, C-Doc.
I'm like, yo, what's up?
Thinking that like that's it,
because we're in a fucking toilet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can I take a photo? I'm like, you didn't even wash your hand.
Don't come near me.
Like, still zipping up his pants.
And I'm like, no, we can't take a picture right now.
I'm taking a shit.
In the toilet with all people pissing at the same time.
It's filled, and I feel like I'm the asshole.
Yeah.
Because now everyone's looking at us.
And I'm like, are you kidding me, dude?
I'm not, I've had a similar thing, but,
I was actually at the urinal.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dick in hand.
Dick in hand and I've been there.
And the dude directly next to me was like,
yo, Joey, what's up?
And I'm like, can you not see my penis in my head?
My stream would instant stop at that moment.
I think mine actually got faster
because I'm like, I'm pretty sure this guy's about
to ask a photo.
I'm not about to get a photo taken
as I have a dick in my hand.
Just like, get out.
I didn't have to react to that.
Because I remember this, this,
The exact thing came, the exact same thing happened to me
when I was in the urinal.
And it's the case where there are like five urinals
in a row.
And I was in like one of the one at the end.
And I knew something that was wrong.
When a guy chooses the one right next to me.
And I'm just like, here we go.
Here we fucking go.
I saw get it to be it.
And I'm like, and I'm like, why you,
like my first instinct is like, why are you standing
into the urinal next to me?
There are, you know, if you're not a guy,
there's an unwritten,
etiquette to like toilets where if the urinal next to you
is like free and there's like more urinals
other than one next to you is free.
Basic instinct.
Yeah, you don't go to the one next to the person
always already pissing.
You don't wanna be that creep who.
That's basic, basic urinal etiquette.
Yeah, you don't wanna be that creep who's like,
I don't wanna look at his penis.
But I wanna look at his penis.
Yeah, so I finished my, I finished my business
and for some reason he asked for a handshake.
I'm like, can you have a hand shake?
At least let me wash my hands first, man.
I wanna touch the dick hand.
I'm pretty sure that's how coronavirus starts.
So what was your like most like weird
or strange convention experience
before you were a YouTuber?
Like or before you met Gant?
Any weird stories?
Say for example, I like the first convention.
Um, I would say like actually it was probably,
I was doing like say voice acting online.
You know, I wasn't like massive at that point.
I was a senior in high school
and I actually worked at the maid cafe at anime
Milwaukee.
Of course you did.
Of course.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I couldn't even need to tell me.
I just assumed.
And then, oh my God, I really hope this guy doesn't watch.
So I was just kind of like, we had 10 minutes off, right?
So I was gonna go get some water or something.
And this guy's just like, wow, are you working at the maid cafe?
And I had like had my maid all upton on me.
All had the same uniform.
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, no shit.
Yeah, and he's like, okay.
And I'm like, okay.
And I was on the escalator.
and then he turned away, and I like,
and then I turned away.
And then when we were closing up for the night,
this guy comes up and he hands me like this dollar
that he origamied into a shirt.
And I'm like, he's like, do you think this is a really cool, like thing?
And I'm like, he's like, you can keep that,
you can keep that dollar.
I'm like, oh.
You're frothing at this point.
It's like, oh, it's finally me.
Frothing at the loins.
It's like, oh shit, he gave me a dollar.
And then, so I was just sitting down waiting for like
to get my parents started, like, waiting for the next
to end. And then he just sat down and then he just didn't say anything. And then like 20 minutes
goes by and I'm like, I'm going to go on the back and I stay there for two hours and he still's there
waiting. And so I actually had the manager go out and yell at him to get out. And I feel bad
because he's actually really shocked. Like he thought I was genuinely he could come out and be like,
wins our date. And I mean, I guess that's not like the most creepiest thing. Like that sounds like,
sounds kind of rapy to me. Yeah. That sounds like, but it was definitely something I look back
and I'm like, I kind of feel bad,
but another way, probably could have been a bit better about it.
I swear, like, I don't know what it is about anime conventions
that just turns anime fans into just monkeys.
Like, I don't know, I think it's just a lack,
like a lot of young people and a lot of old people
who lack social skills.
Yeah.
You know, not to be mean, but I think a lot of people who go to,
there's a good chunk of people who go to anime conventions
who don't really like, you know, who.
Socially off.
Yeah.
They don't really socialize too much outside of, you know,
maybe playing games online and I don't know,
I feel like,
I think there's a lot of them who just assumed
that because you like the same thing as me,
yeah, I can do anything with you
and you're okay with it.
Yeah, I'm definitely glad that, I don't know,
that when I was younger, I didn't interact with people
because I feel like I would have been weird.
I'm like, I'm kind of glad I didn't go
to anime conventions that early as well
because like seeing how many stuff
is coming out about the smash community and stuff,
I can only imagine what's happened
like anime communities.
I can easily, based of what I've seen in private,
like people do,
I can only imagine how bad it was about.
I'm honestly surprised the Smash Convention
was called out before the anime convention scene.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'm sure there's horrible stories
that go behind the scenes.
I think the problem is with anime conventions
a lot of the time it's like not like the celebrities,
like the organizers sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, speculating.
And I mean, there are stories of them as well.
And it's kind of hard to, it sucks,
but like cancel someone who no one cares about.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Like when you cancel like a community like smash,
you've got like these big names, right?
And when you bring it out, it's like a,
I cared about that person.
Yeah.
It's like, dude, the event organizer of ex-con
in your area is a rapist.
And it's like, oh, who?
Who's that?
Like, I, is the consulate no?
Yeah, it's bad.
It's the star-booking at least.
Yeah, it's bad.
I mean, I'm not trying to make light of any of that.
I mean, it's pretty fucked up,
but I mean, that's kind of how it is, right?
It's unfortunate.
I don't know, it's a depressing topic,
obviously that people don't like talking about.
It's not that funny.
Let's change the subject, but,
but, okay, but like, I want to know, right,
having how you've done YouTube for how long would you say now?
It's the beginning of YouTube.
Since the beginning, but like as a job.
Full-time.
As a job.
As a full-time YouTube, how long you be doing?
Yeah, about like a year, a little over a year and a half.
Year and a half, two years?
Okay, so like, because I always ask people
who like kind of come into the whole full-time YouTube thing,
like as of recently, right?
Because like being a full-time YouTuber now
is completely different to like being a full-time
YouTube said like when God began full-time, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like as someone who's been there from the beginning of YouTube,
how would you say it's like changed as a full time thing
as opposed to like just doing it as a hobby?
I think definitely like it's more profitable now.
Obviously back then in the beginning.
I mean it's not like I'm not saying like you're rolling in it
by any means like other guys like none of my videos I monetized.
You kind of do it to yourself.
I can't really complain about that.
Tell me the video where you reviewed the pussy
of the round table wasn't monetized.
Are you saying this episode?
Are you saying, a sponsor, yes.
If not for Patreon and sponsors,
you just wouldn't have a job.
But you're getting out there though.
And that's like, that's Lee Morton's like,
right, right.
And then if you get like, if people watch you,
then people are gonna be like, shit,
let's get this bitch to advertise our fucking shit.
And then that's, I mean, definitely,
it's like back in the monetary days
when YouTube wasn't so pissy.
You see, it was bound to happen.
Yeah, it was bound, of course.
Like, everyone knew it was gonna happen.
Yeah, really somebody like me shouldn't be monetized.
Yeah, yeah.
But I wonder, because like back then,
I almost think for me, like YouTube was as much
of like a social thing for me,
as much as like I enjoyed making the videos.
It was more about like, what a,
because it was the same with voice acting for me.
What the major reason I kept doing voice acting
and I liked it so much is that it was like
how I socialized with those people.
Yeah.
And I almost felt like YouTube was an extension of that
where half the time, which is why, you know,
when we said in ages ago where I was like,
they're only making videos for each other,
et cetera, et cetera.
Because I remember when I did it, like when you first start,
you kind of do make videos in a sense for,
your peers and for like to impress one on that.
Because it's a very social thing when you're smaller.
Yeah.
Because there's no pressure, right?
It's like I just wanna make videos.
My mate made a really cool video.
I wanna make a cool video to like,
you're just dicking around you with your friends.
Right, right, right, right.
And half the funny, like what I thought was funny
at the time, probably not funny at all.
Yeah. Stuff I made was because I'm like,
dude, my friends are gonna fucking love this.
Yeah, yeah, I left their ass off, right?
That was why I made it half the time.
And I feel like that's, that aspect
pretty much goes instantly, when you,
you start doing it full time.
You still do make friends, obviously,
you know, we're all YouTube's friends,
but the aspect of making videos
for like a social purpose completely goes.
Yeah.
I find.
Yeah, I mean, I'd still say I do kind of make videos
for social purposes because it's still like-
I guess you're talking about current topics a lot.
Yeah, I mean, and there's also like,
I, when we talk about YouTube, I see YouTube now as like,
I just make YouTube for like a general audience,
not just like an anime watching audience.
So like there are a,
a lot of other YouTubers out there who have,
to do things that are like,
have nothing to do with anime,
but I still respect their content.
Oh, it's the best fucking feeling when there's,
you meet a guy, a guy or a girl,
who has nothing to do with your community
and you find out that what's your content
and you're like, I love your stuff.
Yeah, I'm like, wait a minute,
I love your stuff too.
Everybody, clas, that is like,
did we just become best friends?
That is the best moment,
because you're like, we're gonna hang out, right?
Hell yeah, we are.
We're gonna hang out, we're not gonna make a video,
Just gonna hang out.
Just gonna chill, yeah.
Yeah.
You know you found a good, like, new YouTuber friend
when you meet for the first time,
and the word collab just isn't said
for like your first five artings.
Yeah.
Like you don't even take a selfie together.
No, yeah, just hang out.
Just hang out.
Just hang out.
The worst, I fucking, the biggest thing I hate
is when someone is like, hey, let's collab
and I'm like, all right, what do you have in mind?
I don't know, just wanna collab.
And I'm like, can you come with like an idea or something?
Like, I don't wanna.
to do the work if it's your collab.
Yeah.
Like I can't stand it and like, let's just collab, let's just do it.
Like what, what do you wanna do?
Because it's so easy to do collab, isn't it?
I can't think of my own video.
It's what makes you think I'm gonna help you with yours?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Sorry, you're angry, I just had to.
So many moments where that happens.
You came in with a bit of a chip on your shoulder.
Oh my God.
I guess I do, too.
So like, how long do you think, like currently,
because like, I assume,
you want to like continue to like evolve your content
in some ways, right?
Definitely, I definitely don't,
as much as it probably pains some people to hear,
I don't wanna just stick with hentai.
I want, cause you know, I'm, I have other things I like to do.
I'm not some nymphomaniac, as many people
who have alluded to.
Yeah, well, what are people's like assumption
on you based on your content?
A lot of people have actually asked me,
is like, do you just like have sex all the time?
Do you just read sex?
Is that all you fucking do?
And I'm just like, why would you think that?
Are people who do content.
What would you?
What would you?
What would you?
Whatever would make you think I'm horny.
No, okay, it's like, to you, is it like,
is hentai now, has your relationship with, like, hentai changed?
Because we were talking last week
about how our relationship with anime has changed,
because even though we still very much enjoy it,
it is part of the job as well.
Yeah, if anything, I would say, like,
my knowledge and just like,
appreciation of it has grown deeper.
And just like, kind of like, it's more,
like, I never really changed too deep.
I would say like, in terms of like,
enjoying it as sort of a hobby now,
It's just kind of like just reading it,
not even just for like to get horny
or just like enjoy it.
The last thing I want is like I'm mid-wank
and I'm thinking this is gonna make a great video.
I mean like that's the thing right.
Like do you ever get to the point
where you're just reading a Dogeon?
And in the back of your mind you're like,
I could just read this or I need to be reading this
because I need to be reading this because I mean a video on it.
That actually kind of, that does suck
because it's like sometimes you're just like,
okay, all right.
I don't wanna ruin porn from me.
Yeah.
Not that I'm fond of it anyway,
I just don't wanna form an attachment.
This is why I find it so hard to stream sometimes.
Cause I like, I, I,
video games are like my one last bastion
of like a hobby that I can just turn to whenever like,
maybe I'm like burnt out in anime.
Like I get that, I do.
I think it's like 50-50 for me on the video game.
Like some video games like League of Legends
is just stressful to stream.
Because like I'm inting, I'm 0 and 8 on stream.
I'm laughing it off and every single time I die,
you look at my eyes and I'm like,
Power nine.
But like, you know, playing like fucking Super Mario
on streams, chill as fuck.
Cause it's like,
gaming for me is half off as well
because like I don't stream every game I play.
No same, same, yeah, yeah.
So like some games I'm just like,
like I could have easily fucking streamed Animal Crossing
for like five months straight
and being like, yeah, that's content.
But that game is so personal to me
that I'm like, I don't wanna stream it.
Like I, I just, that's just something
that I just wanna keep completely separate
from any monetary thing.
That any corpse party, right?
Yeah, right.
Like, 100%.
Like if it's like course party,
I'd be like fuck y'all stream that shit
because it's fucking corpse potty.
Like I'm not gonna play corpse party on my own
or like my own enjoyment.
Why the fuck would I do that?
I'd argue this some like even though gaming for me
is still like I try to make it my personal thing.
There are some games that I genuinely think
are better enjoyed with an audience.
Oh yeah.
You agree?
Yeah, absolutely.
Like, you know, I'm just trying to think of some
at the top of my head.
Oh, like Mario 64.
Like when I streamed that shit, that shit was fucking fun.
Yeah, yeah.
Because people are just giving me shit
for being like crap at the game
and I'm like, you want to try and play this game
after like a 15 year gap.
Like,
like Mario Party is really fun being streamed.
Mario Kart's really fun as well.
Mario Kart's fun streaming.
Like, I think any game that has
a very easy to understand concept
with an immediate like feedback loop is like great.
The games where you have to queue up five minutes,
play for 40 minutes.
Yeah.
Multiplayer games don't work really.
I don't think, I don't like watching other people
play league on stream really, except for like the LCS.
Yeah.
And all the worlds.
Yeah, worlds.
What's going on right now?
Because you started streaming, really.
recently, right Sydney?
Actually, before I started doing YouTube,
I tried being a Twitch streamer full time.
No way.
Really?
What?
For all, like, a good like five months.
What did you stream?
Outstream mostly Resident Evil.
Really?
I really like shooting games
because it feels like,
right!
No, break, call the trailer.
That was back when we were living in Thailand.
Sydney, like, because of her visa status,
she couldn't get like a proper job there.
So she would like try to take any like
like odd jobs or like contractual jobs is actually good.
And like on the side, I was like,
well, you don't wanna be a YouTuber
because she was still kind of scarred from the leafy thing.
So I was like, why not try streaming?
You know, that's, uh, so how did that go for you?
It actually went okay.
Like I got five viewers.
And I'm actually my mods now that are like,
man, my discord as well as like everything
are actually the people, the five people from that time.
Oh really?
Yeah. And um.
That's how you know that real one.
That's cute.
That's cute, the original five.
And so I wanted to grow my audience
and the guards like just try doing YouTube.
I'm like, fuck, all right, I'll do it.
And then just did YouTube instead.
So do you plan to like go back into streaming?
Streaming's actually a lot of work, isn't it?
Yeah, I was gonna ask about that.
What do you think about the whole streaming
versus YouTube debate?
Because they always fucking argue.
Yeah, it's like, oh, streamers don't put any effort in.
And vice versa.
Yeah, vice versa.
So if you're streaming is like,
talk to people constantly, you'd like be entertaining
nonstop for hours and hours on that.
Like constantly, like, it feels like you're being,
like you have to be excited, peppered, energetic.
Otherwise you're boring.
Yeah.
Like if you had to pick,
like if you say you were,
you could be just successful in either career choice,
being a YouTuber or a streamer,
putting in the same amount of hours,
which one would you prefer to be?
100%, 100% YouTube.
I think I do YouTube as, I think,
every day, it's constant.
Yeah.
I think I find streaming easy.
Like I can just chat shit for like five hours, no problem.
Yeah, but you're like one of the most
extroverted introverts I've met.
Like, there are times when I'm just like,
I just don't wanna talk.
Especially when I'm streaming.
My stream limit is two hours.
After two hours, I'm just like, man, I hate talking.
Moving my mouth is just effort now.
I just love doing 24 hour streams.
I've done like five, I think, in total.
That sounds like torture.
That sounds like torture.
The last eight or six hours are just pure pain
and the last two are like, you're a zombie.
Yeah, like you forget,
I would be like, oh, I haven't spoke for a minute.
I'm sorry, chat.
That's what it feels like though.
But it's good because it gets people excited
because they know that they can just turn it on.
But like, I don't know, I find streaming,
easy when I do it, but the problem is,
is that I don't know how I could do it five days a week.
No, no.
I like that with YouTube, okay, I can work 14 hours a day
for a week if I want to.
But I can also just not work for a week
if I've prepared properly, right?
And I really love that flexibility.
And I feel like with streaming, even I,
even I've started getting it a little bit,
I'm like, wait, why do they lose 200 subs?
Or I haven't streamed in a week.
Yeah.
And then it's like, oh, I, oh,
shit, am I getting that pressure of a streamer
where it's like, I gotta keep myself up.
You gotta maintain your sub count.
Right, and it's almost like you're gamifying it,
but it forces like, you see these streamers that do
like 12 hour day, the 12 hour streams a day
like four, five times a week
and I'm like, that can't be healthy.
They're just built for that kind of stuff, right?
Like it's, they're just built different.
They're just built different, man.
What can I say?
Honestly, like, I really do think that streaming.
Like I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna say this
and I'm gonna probably piss people off.
I think streaming takes way less talent.
I think it just takes a lot of patience, yeah.
I think it takes a lot of learning and effort.
Like I think anyone can be a streamer.
I think for some things on YouTube,
it's a lot harder to succeed.
Yeah.
I think YouTubers become very specialized.
I don't know, I feel like,
I feel like it's like half and half,
because I feel that with streamers,
to stand out in this day and age,
you have to be, you have to have something about you
that makes you stand out.
That's true.
Or you have to be a V-Tuber.
Like,
Yeah, or you have to be a V-Chieb.
And even then, it's just a matter of time
for V-Cube's get so oversaturated.
Oh, yeah, it's gonna-it's gonna be-
already happening.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, right?
I mean, that's why Hot-O-Life have like a audition period.
Yeah, like there's, it's no coincidence
that everyone in Hot-Live is really, really good
at being entertaining.
It's because they fucking auditioned for it.
I mean, I'm not saying that like,
you know, it requires no talent whatsoever.
I just think the barrier of entry to,
I mean, even Twitch is really hard to get an audience.
and so on.
I feel like YouTube it's easier to get to the first thousand subs.
Whereas on Twitch, it's hard to go from zero to 10.
Like that's hard.
I just feel like with YouTube,
there's more opportunity for creativity.
There is, there is.
Because with streaming, you are way more limited
in your ideas of what you can do.
Not saying you can't do like original ideas,
but you are way more limited than what you can put
in a YouTube video per se.
That's true, that's true.
But I don't know, I feel like YouTube has become
so competitive recently to be even notable whatsoever.
You do require.
Twitch is like even much.
Really?
You think so?
I think Twitch is way more competitive.
Really? Okay, okay.
Like, fair enough.
I would have no idea how I would go about
throwing myself on Twitch
if I wasn't already established.
Yeah, I would neither.
Yeah, whereas on YouTube, I'd be like,
maybe I can do like an interesting video idea
or like, you know, tackle a certain topic
in a way in a way that no one else has.
Because let's be real, when it comes to Twitch, like,
Discovery.
Oh, it's garbage.
It's shit, like people don't go on Twitch to watch Vodd.
Yeah, that's just not how it was.
But like, as in like,
to be a successful Twitch,
is it the problem of I'm not entertaining enough
or the algorithm is fucking me?
Like what's like, or is it a mix?
It's a bit of both, I reckon.
Because like, again, it stems down to that whole thing
of like, you know, if you have more than 20 viewers
in a stream, every stream, then you're technically
in the top 10% of Twitch.
Yeah, right?
It's like, it's just anybody can do it,
but to maintain that level of quality
throughout the entire time, I think does take
a somewhat of a talent, right?
There's a lot of streamers are like between 20
and 100 that just like, you,
build up that audience of just pure like commitment.
Yeah, just like constantly interacting with them.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I think to get to that point is like,
just requires just not being a dick and just dedication.
Cause like, I'll tell you one of the big reasons
why I was able to get into like the Vtubers scene
versus like the live streaming scene
before like Vtube's came along.
It's because what I couldn't get into about like streamers
is that there's, they're basically always streaming, right?
They could be like, they could be,
they're streaming eight hours a day.
So you can, you can,
I don't know any time you want,
but you don't know what they'll be doing.
You know, sometimes I'll be playing a certain game.
And, you know, I get that you can just leave them on
in the backgrounds, but I like having like a piece of content
that I know I can watch.
So with V-tubers, most of their streams are like one hours
or two hours long.
So it's just like very segmented.
So I know, like, I know what I'm getting out
of a V-tuber stream.
You know, they're gonna be playing for this set amounts
and, you know, it's on a schedule.
They're gonna be doing X, X show, or playing X game.
And I can be like,
like, okay, I'm gonna watch this VGi for this time,
and then I could do something else.
Whereas with Twitch, it's just like,
do I wanna put them on in the background?
You know, maybe, maybe not, you know,
there's nothing that inherently draws me
to their content aside from if I really like their personality.
And also, it's just so much easier to like watch back
on Vod's on YouTube because YouTube is built
as a already pre-recorded video service, right?
So like, yeah.
So it's just way easier to like go back,
like if you missed a V-tube stream,
then it's so easy to just go into the channel
and just see all the,
they're like a regular YouTube channel.
Whereas with Twitch, looking through Vodz
is a fucking pain in the ass because they've set it up so shittily.
That's why everyone has to fucking highlight its channel.
Right, exactly.
Which I want to get as well.
Yeah, I saw someone start highlighting your Twitter streams as well.
Yeah, yeah, they did, they did.
And I want to basically just get one where I can just like, you know,
split the ad rev with someone, so it's like, all right, they just do it,
they get the ad rev, you know, whatever, and then it's just, you know,
make content more.
Because like, I mean, if I'm streaming,
I may as well turn it into content, right?
Yeah.
And if I have nothing to do with it, great.
Like, I can just, you know.
Yeah, I mean, it's whatever.
I mean, I do think that Twitch is fucking hard
to get the ball rolling.
It's brutal.
Yeah, that's brutal.
I mean, I would say that it's a skill set
that I don't have to be successful on Twitch.
Like I understand how the Twitch audience works
and the kind of content they want,
but that's the kind of grind that I cannot do.
Yeah, you're very like, chill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like my social skills come and burst, I say,
and so so does my inspiration.
Like I don't know what it is,
I don't know if it's the same with you guys,
but either I'm working on like five to 10 different projects at once,
or I'm like struggling to think of one idea.
Yeah, that's exactly.
It's like either I'm like, man, I got so many fucking good ideas.
And I know that when I'm done with these ideas,
I'm like, fuck, what do I do next?
I'm screwed, yeah.
Which is why I would almost like,
I almost like, I almost like T-T-Wry about thinking of an idea.
I just turn it on and chat shit and play games, right?
Whereas with YouTube, it's like,
fuck, I gotta keep one-upping myself.
I'm gonna go stale.
It's like, how can you go stale
if you're just playing games, right?
Yeah.
I mean, they're probably examples of it, but, you know.
So like, how long do you, for example,
like, think you could like keep doing YouTube?
Or like, how long, like,
because I, you know, I think every YouTube-
R-in-to-the-Ride or you got a plan.
Yeah, is it like,
because I think every YouTube gets asked the question,
like, oh, where do you see yourself in five years,
10 years, like that kind of stuff, right?
Which I think is the stupidest question ever.
I guess, hmm, it's hard to kind of,
I guess what feels
right, you know, just go with the wind.
Like, because I definitely don't feel like doing, I'm trying to like, I have plans to make my
channel not just hentai focused anymore.
I want to show off some of my other talents, you know, voice work.
Maybe if I'm talented.
But, um, are just like other things that I'm like, that are interesting in the anime
sphere.
Uh, I don't, hmm.
Because you've done like a few videos where you like go to, you know, bars that have existed.
Yeah, like, that are featured in manga.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And honestly, I really like, I honestly really love those.
I guess just seeing just me out and about, you know.
Yeah, do you feel like you got drawn into just making content
about Hentai just because of you saw how well it was doing?
Did you feel pressure about it?
Of course, of course I feel pressure about it.
Believe it or not, do I always want to make content
just about Hente?
Of course, it just gets the clicks.
It just gets the, like, of course I enjoy it.
And I wouldn't be making anything I think is just for the views for money.
Because like he admitted that at any point.
Here's like a little trade secret that I'm just gonna spill right now.
Like some of Sydney's videos,
some of Sydney's videos ideas have been ideas that I've pitched to her.
Because sometimes I get ideas.
No way.
Sometimes I get ideas and I'm like, I can't do this for my channel.
But like I live like curiously through Sydney to be like,
you know, Sydney, I can't do this idea for my channel?
Can you like, can you like do it?
Can you do me a good one?
Yeah, because I remember the one, the one,
Like the one Dijinghi I wanted to like get someone to talk about
was retake, which going back to the fan fiction thing
I was talking about earlier, like this, this is the,
this is the Dijinghi that got me into thinking,
hey, maybe fan fictions aren't that bad
because this is retake to,
Retake two explained to you is basically just an entire fucking retelling
of the end of Evangelion.
Because I remember I first, when I first watched
the end of the Evangelion as a kid,
and I'm talking about the movie,
as well.
It is not a satisfying conclusion
if you don't understand what's happening.
And especially like, I have a deeper appreciation
of end of Ava now as an adult,
but as a kid, I'm just like,
I just wanna see what happens.
And then through that, I discovered Retake.
And Retake is,
Retake is one of the most satisfying fan fictions
I have ever read where it kind of ties up
every loose ends that I wanted to be tied up
in when I was watching the original Ava,
And it gave me the same kind of conclusion
and satisfaction within myself
that I would have felt even if it was just a canon.
Like in my head it is kind of just canon.
I watched your video about it.
Yeah.
So that's the reason I know it exists.
Yeah.
Because Garts say like, can,
and then I got to read it.
I mean, yeah, like we actually had to watch Evangelion first
because I never really watched Evangelion probably till recently.
And then he showed me retake and we shared the exact same opinions on it.
Like, so, you know.
Wow, that's true love.
Yeah.
FAP to the Stojin, I fap to the station.
We came at the exact same frame.
Soulmate.
Oh my God, you skipped the blow jobs too?
Same.
And I'm like, yo, you know,
Sydney, why don't you make a video about this?
And I'm like, oh my God, Sidney,
why don't you make a video then?
And so you did.
And so I did.
So you just a gigac simp.
I might be on him.
I'm like his little entertainer and he's my agent,
but we have like a little like sexy relationship.
You really didn't have to say.
You're really gonna do me like this, Sydney.
All right.
All I asked was what are you doing in time?
Right, I mean like, I don't know why went in that direction.
More agents, I'm listening.
How does the Shibia Cah episode like 10 times more wholesome?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know how you do it.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Yeah, is there anything else you want to mention
or anything else you want to talk about?
That's a, anything you want me to pretend
to like ask you about so you can be perfect
you're gonna tell.
Just ask like what jobs did I have previous?
What jobs did you have previously?
I'm curious.
Fuck you.
McDonald's cool, thank you.
I don't know if you're actually asking.
Okay, yeah, we're actually asking.
Well, when I was in high school,
my first job was at a frozen yogurt place
and then I started, I moved to England
and I worked.
That's the widest thing you've ever said.
Is that it?
That's, you're not gonna,
Elaborate more on the frozen yogurt story?
It wasn't very long.
Did anything happen?
How long were you there for?
Four or five months.
And then I graduated high school.
And then I started working at a bakery at a supermarket.
No, before I graduated high school, supermarket bakery.
And then I moved to England.
And I started working at Weather Spoons.
Worst job I've ever had.
I hated it.
If you guys don't know what Weather Spoons is, it's this cheap.
I think you guys mentioned it.
Yeah, we mentioned it.
The old people there would start at like 8 a.m.
They'd always come in with like,
the first thing they'd always order is shots
of like whiskey or vodka and they just keep going.
Old British people are like, I don't know what's wrong, man.
They always go to the pub at like 9 a.m.
Yeah, always.
To meet up with their other old friends
and they just get drunk.
Always.
And that's all they do.
And they were mean.
They were mean.
They always be like, I like,
they'd be like, you shouldn't be in our country.
You're not like, they were pretty mean.
Yeah, I was like, I'd scream.
I'd be screamed at every day.
And it's like, sometimes I'd cry
and they'd be like, oh, now you're just trying
to make me feel bad.
And I was like, you just told me to like you,
just call me a bitch.
Like I just gave you a beer.
Like, yes, you should feel bad.
Yeah.
And like sometimes I'd pour a beer like not,
because I didn't really like know how to pour beer.
Oh yeah, pouring a pint is a very strict procedure.
Yeah.
And they just like you dumb bitch, I'd be like.
They would, an old British man would call you a dumb bitch.
No way. I refuse to believe.
Like, like, they'd like, a bitch, like they'd like,
A bitch, I can see it, but a dumb bitch.
That's like a bitch I can see, but dumb bitch.
Nah, that's not.
That's too far.
Just ask that that happens.
And then just like sometimes,
I actually, when we moved to Thailand, I did.
That was when you kind of tried to dip your job,
to dip your foot into a lot of things.
Yeah, I tried like a lot.
Do you wanna talk about that time
where you were an English teacher?
You're an English teacher in Thailand?
I was, I was an English teacher in Thailand.
Oh my God.
So Garant's family had like a friend
and I would like, it was a lot,
in the country for like me to like kind of help
with like because yeah, it was, it's all right.
I wasn't being illegal, you know,
stealing Thai people's money.
But I was an English teacher for children
from the ages of one to four.
Right, so you're basically a daycare.
I basically sounds like daycare.
Yeah, like I just like kind of did that.
It's a bit exhausting, but.
I remember the very first English teaching job she had.
So to preface, Sydney,
loves dogs.
Oh my God.
Like whenever she sees a dog, like you can hear it in her voice
because like, her, the pitch in her voice.
She reaches a frequency that only dogs can heat.
It's like, ah, it's like a dog whistle.
Yeah, exactly. It's like she, like, her voice goes
into like dog whistle, Terry and sorry.
I remember the first day on the job, she was like dreading it.
And I remember I had to drive her to this house
where she had to tutor these kids.
Yeah, so I was a private tutor.
like kids that were like age seven and eight.
Yeah.
And I was like, I don't wanna go to like these strangers house.
Where'd they like rape and kill me?
And I was like, oh, but it's also 8 a.m.
and I don't wanna go.
Yeah, so she was like complaining the entire way there
to be like, maybe I should quit now.
I'm just gonna quit.
Like like, I'm gonna go there.
I'm gonna look the person in the eye
and I'm gonna be like, you know what,
this job's not for me.
So we pull up to this house
and it's like, it's like a gated house
with like a patio on it.
And there are just these, they're just these puppies.
They were just born like,
Oh my God, the week old.
They're just these puppies just sitting in this patio.
At the moment Sydney looked at them,
all of the windows in the neighborhood shattered.
And she was like,
those are puppies right there.
And then a woman comes out and was like,
oh, are you, are you the teacher?
No, that was the house.
And she's like, I'm like,
I love this job.
Give me those puppies.
That's a ten of all, and I was like, give me the baby.
You're just teaching English,
where you're holding like,
full puppy.
Oh my God, those were-
Why? Why?
Why are you so-
Puppy?
You can't be the puppy.
That's your English.
And I'd never seen Sydney like just get out
the car as fast as I had as she had just realized
this was the house that she was about to teach in.
They were so fucking small.
And then obviously I hated English teaching.
Probably not the best.
I was gonna say.
I didn't think your English was that good to begin.
What the fuck's that meant to me?
Just because I say words like baby bit or small or like.
Eye penetration.
Repeat after me.
Because like, okay, like going back to your like your wee phase.
One thing I am kind of jealous of now,
now that like living in Japan is that you have like no fear
when it comes to attempting Japanese
or like trying Japanese and everything like that.
Be like, oh, chin chin.
You hear me.
Not that, but like you have like no fear
when it comes to like attempting your Japanese
and there have been times when like in before we move to Japan
because I remember you were telling me the story
about when I had my signing at Bookwalker AX
and you actually met one of the authors there.
I don't think there was the Don Machia author though.
I think I was, was it the one?
It was like the second time I met you
was my older brother.
It might have been Monster.
It might have been Monster.
Yeah, it might be not my artist.
I didn't honestly,
because I think, I know you introduced,
I was like a bit drunk.
Because we're day drinking.
Do you wanna explain the story?
So I was at an anime con with my,
Oh, Nijan, my brother at A.S.
You could have just said brother.
I'm out, I'm a head out.
I'm out.
And like all of us, like we went with a group,
like,
We went with Gart and our friends,
some of our friends from England,
and my brother wanted to come,
because he likes going to anime cons as well.
And I'm really close with my brother,
so he came with us to AX,
and we were like day drinking a bit.
You know, as you do it.
As you do it.
Especially at AX.
And then, but Gart had a-
You got her to get through those lines.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I got on all the story off of this way.
Okay, here go.
And Gart had a signing a book walker,
not long after.
And I was like about four or five beers deep.
And that might as well be lethal at that way.
So like 10-8.
It was like 4 p.m.
Okay, but, and so I went in the back behind the Bookwalker signing thing.
I was having my signing.
Yeah, but someone else was finished their signing.
And I was with my brother, and I was, I was a bit drunk, you know, I'm not going to lie.
And so, Malin, obviously, which you guys obviously remember from previous episodes, was there.
And she's like, oh, do you want to meet this guy's name who I don't even remember?
And I'm just like, sure, but I was pretty obviously drunk.
And I shook his hand.
And I started speaking my shitty Japanese.
I was just like, oh,
Konichua,
hajima'i-mashem-est.
Whatashi no one, just like,
stood there's like,
and this guy's like, all right?
And then later did I find out that was the author
of Monster Musume.
Oh my God.
Yeah, because I remember that exact same day.
We were, we were walking around,
we were walking around the A.
and then we see Connor, we just see Connor standing there.
And we don't know why he's just standing there.
And we, we, we, we, so before, before we can even react,
we were with some friends, like, it was me, Sydney,
and some, some of our friends.
Yeah.
And Sydney just goes and like, just like,
says a load to Connor.
Cause I was standing there.
Just like, just like a good old,
why is Colin just standing?
Just like a good.
Oh, hey, we just saw you in this, like a lot.
And like, oh, hey dude.
And then after I said, hey, I hear this, like,
I got called like a bitch by five,
people and I looked to my left.
There's this long line of girls ready, waiting to like,
you're fucking skipping us.
Like I got called bitch so many times,
but you're fans.
And I was like, holy shit, I didn't know you're doing a science.
The 93% strike.
I'd call you a bitch.
If you cut in front of me, that's a bitch.
No, I just, I just, I walked away and I said,
I'm sorry.
And then like all these girls are just like,
they were so mean.
If you were one of those girls,
fuck you, you cunt.
I hope you feel like.
I thank you for supporting me.
Thank you for calling Sydney a bitch.
You made a funny story.
I mean, I'd be annoyed if someone cut,
you know, you're just saying.
I didn't know, I will, I will.
Obviously, they couldn't know the context.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because everyone was waiting to like take a picture, I guess.
Oh, I also have another story.
All right, go ahead, go ahead.
I just want to say this is actually the coolest one.
And I need to, okay, so we were at the Funimation Party
and at AX, 2017, 18.
and I think it was 18.
It was like two years ago, I think.
Yeah, yeah.
So we were drinking in it and I obviously had to go to the bathroom
and they only had one bathroom in the place.
This was the Funimation party.
I didn't mention that.
I did mention that.
Okay, sorry.
So I went in and then I see this guy
just laying on the fucking floor in there.
And I was like, I kind of get up and I wake him up.
So was he in like the women's toilet?
There was only one toilet.
Oh, okay.
And he was just like face down.
I thought he was dead.
I thought something like he over drank
or he was like dead or something
because he was face down in the middle of the toilet
and he wasn't moving and I kept waking him up
and then it's like I kind of like kept shaking him
and then he's just like I realized
because he starts speaking Japanese,
he's a Japanese guy right?
And then I was just like,
normally, normally.
And then he's just like in the most like
really broken English he's like,
I'm one of the animators for Boko No Hero.
I'm like, can you get the fuck out of the bathroom?
I don't care who you are.
I need a piss.
I know.
And he's like, when can I see you again?
I'm like, who the fuck are you?
He's like, he just told you.
He's the animated from Walking a Hero.
Cause like some of the animators from Book of No Hero
were there and he's just like there.
He's like, I'm like, are you okay?
Like, can you just get out?
I had to take a piss dude.
And he's just like, can I see you again?
I'm like, just get the fuck at all.
I'm trying to take a shit.
But he was like, I felt bad
because he's like obviously really wasted.
Hey man, we all have it.
We all have.
We've all been there.
We've all been there.
