Starting point is 00:00:00 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!
Starting point is 00:00:19 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.
Starting point is 00:00:35 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.
Starting point is 00:00:48 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.
Starting point is 00:01:05 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.
Starting point is 00:01:23 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.
Starting point is 00:01:40 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.
Starting point is 00:02:01 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?
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:30 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?
Starting point is 00:02:43 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,
Starting point is 00:02:59 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
Starting point is 00:03:16 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
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:52 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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,
Starting point is 00:04:29 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
Starting point is 00:04:46 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?
Starting point is 00:05:08 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?
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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?
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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
Starting point is 00:07:12 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?
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:45 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,
Starting point is 00:08:01 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-
Starting point is 00:08:21 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,
Starting point is 00:08:40 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?
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:16 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,
Starting point is 00:09:30 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.
Starting point is 00:09:42 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:21 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
Starting point is 00:10:38 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?
Starting point is 00:10:53 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,
Starting point is 00:11:10 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,
Starting point is 00:11:25 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.
Starting point is 00:11:39 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.
Starting point is 00:11:52 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.
Starting point is 00:12:09 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:56 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?
Starting point is 00:13:06 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,
Starting point is 00:13:25 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.
Starting point is 00:13:41 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
Starting point is 00:13:57 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?
Starting point is 00:14:11 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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...
Starting point is 00:14:35 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
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:10 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.
Starting point is 00:15:29 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.
Starting point is 00:15:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:54 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...
Starting point is 00:16:10 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.
Starting point is 00:16:51 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.
Starting point is 00:17:05 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,
Starting point is 00:17:17 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?
Starting point is 00:17:36 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.
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:12 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,
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:47 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 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.
Starting point is 00:19:24 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,
Starting point is 00:19:44 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?
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:16 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.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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
Starting point is 00:20:44 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.
Starting point is 00:21:00 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
Starting point is 00:21:16 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
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:10 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,
Starting point is 00:22:28 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,
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.

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,
Starting point is 00:25:54 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?
Starting point is 00:26:15 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...
Starting point is 00:26:31 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?
Starting point is 00:26:45 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,
Starting point is 00:27:05 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
Starting point is 00:27:20 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.
Starting point is 00:27:35 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,
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:24 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
Starting point is 00:28:44 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...
Starting point is 00:28:56 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,
Starting point is 00:29:12 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,
Starting point is 00:29:22 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?
Starting point is 00:29:35 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,
Starting point is 00:29:47 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.
Starting point is 00:30:05 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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
Starting point is 00:30:33 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.
Starting point is 00:30:49 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
Starting point is 00:31:10 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
Starting point is 00:31:25 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:31:48 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.
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:32:28 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,
Starting point is 00:32:43 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:11 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.
Starting point is 00:33:24 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,
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:56 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.
Starting point is 00:34:11 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?
Starting point is 00:34:31 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.
Starting point is 00:34:47 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.
Starting point is 00:34:56 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,
Starting point is 00:35:10 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.
Starting point is 00:35:22 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,
Starting point is 00:35:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:55 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?
Starting point is 00:36:12 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.
Starting point is 00:36:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:12 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?
Starting point is 00:37:28 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
Starting point is 00:37:43 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,
Starting point is 00:37:59 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
Starting point is 00:38:13 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...
Starting point is 00:38:28 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,
Starting point is 00:38:39 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?
Starting point is 00:38:58 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.
Starting point is 00:39:10 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.
Starting point is 00:39:29 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.
Starting point is 00:39:43 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.
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:17 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.
Starting point is 00:40:40 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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,
Starting point is 00:41:18 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,
Starting point is 00:41:33 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.
Starting point is 00:41:42 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
Starting point is 00:41:55 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?
Starting point is 00:42:11 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?
Starting point is 00:42:24 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
Starting point is 00:42:37 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,
Starting point is 00:42:51 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 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,
Starting point is 00:43:19 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.
Starting point is 00:43:34 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.
Starting point is 00:43:48 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.
Starting point is 00:44:01 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.
Starting point is 00:44:18 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?
Starting point is 00:44:38 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,
Starting point is 00:44:55 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.
Starting point is 00:45:12 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,
Starting point is 00:45:25 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.
Starting point is 00:45:40 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,
Starting point is 00:45:51 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
Starting point is 00:46:11 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,
Starting point is 00:46:29 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?
Starting point is 00:46:44 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,
Starting point is 00:46:59 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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
Starting point is 00:47:26 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,
Starting point is 00:47:42 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.
Starting point is 00:48:01 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,
Starting point is 00:48:18 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.
Starting point is 00:48:29 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.
Starting point is 00:48:45 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.
Starting point is 00:48:57 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.
Starting point is 00:49:16 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?
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:45 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?
Starting point is 00:50:01 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?
Starting point is 00:50:17 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.
Starting point is 00:50:32 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.
Starting point is 00:50:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:00 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.
Starting point is 00:51:11 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
Starting point is 00:51:32 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.
Starting point is 00:51:44 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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?
Starting point is 00:52:13 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.
Starting point is 00:52:28 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.
Starting point is 00:52:37 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?
Starting point is 00:52:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:02 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.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:32 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.
Starting point is 00:53:42 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,
Starting point is 00:53:57 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?
Starting point is 00:54:09 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.
Starting point is 00:54:22 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.
Starting point is 00:54:37 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.
Starting point is 00:54:51 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,
Starting point is 00:55:03 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.
Starting point is 00:55:23 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
Starting point is 00:55:40 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.
Starting point is 00:55:51 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.
Starting point is 00:56:03 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?
Starting point is 00:56:17 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.
Starting point is 00:56:27 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
Starting point is 00:56:44 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
Starting point is 00:57:03 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.
Starting point is 00:57:21 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.
Starting point is 00:57:34 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
Starting point is 00:57:49 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,
Starting point is 00:58:03 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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.
Starting point is 00:58:30 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.
Starting point is 00:58:48 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.
Starting point is 00:58:57 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?
Starting point is 00:59:10 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,
Starting point is 00:59:19 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?
Starting point is 00:59:33 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,
Starting point is 00:59:48 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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.
Starting point is 01:00:22 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,
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:00:49 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?
Starting point is 01:01:02 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.
Starting point is 01:01:17 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?
Starting point is 01:01:28 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.
Starting point is 01:01:45 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?
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:14 So to tell you a bit more about Bookwalker, Bookwalker's Kataqau is official bookstore and app for digital manga and light novels.

Starting point is 01:03:16 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.
Starting point is 01:03:46 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
Starting point is 01:04:00 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.
Starting point is 01:04:12 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
Starting point is 01:04:28 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.
Starting point is 01:04:38 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.
Starting point is 01:04:57 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,
Starting point is 01:05:18 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.
Starting point is 01:05:40 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,
Starting point is 01:05:58 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
Starting point is 01:06:16 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
Starting point is 01:06:34 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.
Starting point is 01:06:55 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
Starting point is 01:07:12 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,
Starting point is 01:07:23 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
Starting point is 01:07:36 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.
Starting point is 01:07:49 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.
Starting point is 01:08:10 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
Starting point is 01:08:26 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.
Starting point is 01:08:43 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?
Starting point is 01:08:57 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.
Starting point is 01:09:10 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.
Starting point is 01:09:27 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?
Starting point is 01:09:43 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,
Starting point is 01:10:01 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,
Starting point is 01:10:17 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
Starting point is 01:10:35 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,
Starting point is 01:10:48 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.
Starting point is 01:11:02 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.
Starting point is 01:11:14 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.
Starting point is 01:11:27 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.
Starting point is 01:11:37 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
Starting point is 01:11:50 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,
Starting point is 01:12:08 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.
Starting point is 01:12:24 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,
Starting point is 01:12:40 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,
Starting point is 01:13:00 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.
Starting point is 01:13:14 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.
Starting point is 01:13:29 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
Starting point is 01:13:45 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,
Starting point is 01:13:58 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?
Starting point is 01:14:15 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,
Starting point is 01:14:34 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.
Starting point is 01:14:50 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.
Starting point is 01:15:06 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
Starting point is 01:15:27 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
Starting point is 01:15:49 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.
Starting point is 01:16:07 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.
Starting point is 01:16:22 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,
Starting point is 01:16:39 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,
Starting point is 01:16:54 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.
Starting point is 01:17:12 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-
Starting point is 01:17:27 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.
Starting point is 01:17:42 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.
Starting point is 01:18:05 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.
Starting point is 01:18:23 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,
Starting point is 01:18:38 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,
Starting point is 01:18:58 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,
Starting point is 01:19:13 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.
Starting point is 01:19:28 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.
Starting point is 01:19:40 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.
Starting point is 01:20:02 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.
Starting point is 01:20:14 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.
Starting point is 01:20:29 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.
Starting point is 01:20:54 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.
Starting point is 01:21:09 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
Starting point is 01:21:28 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
Starting point is 01:21:50 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
Starting point is 01:22:02 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.
Starting point is 01:22:11 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?
Starting point is 01:22:25 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?
Starting point is 01:22:40 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.
Starting point is 01:22:54 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.
Starting point is 01:23:10 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.
Starting point is 01:23:26 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
Starting point is 01:23:41 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
Starting point is 01:23:53 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,
Starting point is 01:24:05 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.
Starting point is 01:24:17 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,
Starting point is 01:24:34 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.
Starting point is 01:24:48 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
Starting point is 01:25:05 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.
Starting point is 01:25:20 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.
Starting point is 01:25:34 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,
Starting point is 01:25:49 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
Starting point is 01:26:04 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?
Starting point is 01:26:15 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?
Starting point is 01:26:30 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.
Starting point is 01:26:48 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
Starting point is 01:27:05 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
Starting point is 01:27:20 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?
Starting point is 01:27:38 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,
Starting point is 01:27:54 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?
Starting point is 01:28:14 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.
Starting point is 01:28:30 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.
Starting point is 01:28:46 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
Starting point is 01:28:57 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.
Starting point is 01:29:13 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.
Starting point is 01:29:30 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
Starting point is 01:29:42 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
Starting point is 01:29:57 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.
Starting point is 01:30:08 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-
Starting point is 01:30:27 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.
Starting point is 01:30:44 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.
Starting point is 01:30:58 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.
Starting point is 01:31:10 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.
Starting point is 01:31:28 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
Starting point is 01:31:44 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.
Starting point is 01:32:04 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?

Starting point is 01:35:03 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.
Starting point is 01:35:18 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.
Starting point is 01:35:33 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.
Starting point is 01:35:56 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.
Starting point is 01:36:14 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.
Starting point is 01:36:32 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,
Starting point is 01:36:45 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,
Starting point is 01:37:02 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,
Starting point is 01:37:22 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.
Starting point is 01:37:34 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?
Starting point is 01:37:52 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,
Starting point is 01:38:06 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.
Starting point is 01:38:28 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?
Starting point is 01:38:51 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,
Starting point is 01:39:04 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,
Starting point is 01:39:16 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.
Starting point is 01:39:30 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.
Starting point is 01:39:43 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.
Starting point is 01:39:58 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.
Starting point is 01:40:11 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
Starting point is 01:40:28 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.
Starting point is 01:40:41 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
Starting point is 01:40:58 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
Starting point is 01:41:14 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.
Starting point is 01:41:31 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?
Starting point is 01:41:49 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.
Starting point is 01:42:04 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?
Starting point is 01:42:19 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.
Starting point is 01:42:33 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.
Starting point is 01:42:47 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
Starting point is 01:43:08 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
Starting point is 01:43:38 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.
Starting point is 01:43:53 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
Starting point is 01:44:07 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,
Starting point is 01:44:23 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.
Starting point is 01:44:37 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,
Starting point is 01:44:52 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
Starting point is 01:45:04 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.
Starting point is 01:45:16 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,
Starting point is 01:45:30 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?
Starting point is 01:45:45 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.
Starting point is 01:45:59 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.
Starting point is 01:46:22 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.
Starting point is 01:46:37 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.
Starting point is 01:46:50 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,
Starting point is 01:47:03 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
Starting point is 01:47:16 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.
Starting point is 01:47:34 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
Starting point is 01:47:46 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.
Starting point is 01:48:00 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-
Starting point is 01:48:16 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,
Starting point is 01:48:33 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,
Starting point is 01:48:48 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.
Starting point is 01:49:01 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.
Starting point is 01:49:14 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?
Starting point is 01:49:28 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?
Starting point is 01:49:41 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,
Starting point is 01:49:59 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.
Starting point is 01:50:15 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.
Starting point is 01:50:27 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,
Starting point is 01:50:41 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,
Starting point is 01:50:57 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
Starting point is 01:51:13 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.
Starting point is 01:51:28 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.
Starting point is 01:51:43 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.
Starting point is 01:52:01 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
Starting point is 01:52:13 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?
Starting point is 01:52:25 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?
Starting point is 01:52:35 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
Starting point is 01:52:49 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.
Starting point is 01:52:59 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,
Starting point is 01:53:16 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.
Starting point is 01:53:26 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?
Starting point is 01:53:37 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.
Starting point is 01:53:49 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.
Starting point is 01:54:05 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?
Starting point is 01:54:21 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.
Starting point is 01:54:33 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.
Starting point is 01:54:45 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.
Starting point is 01:55:00 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,
Starting point is 01:55:14 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.
Starting point is 01:55:30 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.
Starting point is 01:55:43 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.
Starting point is 01:55:58 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?
Starting point is 01:56:17 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
Starting point is 01:56:28 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?
Starting point is 01:56:44 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.
Starting point is 01:57:01 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,
Starting point is 01:57:16 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.
Starting point is 01:57:28 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
Starting point is 01:57:45 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.
Starting point is 01:58:00 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,
Starting point is 01:58:14 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?
Starting point is 01:58:28 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.
Starting point is 01:58:37 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.
Starting point is 01:58:53 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
Starting point is 01:59:07 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?
Starting point is 01:59:23 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
Starting point is 01:59:41 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,
Starting point is 01:59:57 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.
Starting point is 02:00:13 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,
Starting point is 02:00:30 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
Starting point is 02:00:47 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
Starting point is 02:01:01 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,
Starting point is 02:01:21 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.
Starting point is 02:01:35 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,
Starting point is 02:01:49 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,
Starting point is 02:02:05 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,
Starting point is 02:02:20 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.
Starting point is 02:02:34 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,
Starting point is 02:02:48 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.
Starting point is 02:03:05 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.
Starting point is 02:03:24 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?
Starting point is 02:03:43 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.
Starting point is 02:04:10 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
Starting point is 02:04:30 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
Starting point is 02:04:53 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,
Starting point is 02:05:08 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
Starting point is 02:05:29 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,
Starting point is 02:05:41 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.
Starting point is 02:05:58 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?
Starting point is 02:06:14 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.
Starting point is 02:06:31 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.
Starting point is 02:06:49 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?
Starting point is 02:07:04 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
Starting point is 02:07:21 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?
Starting point is 02:07:30 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.
Starting point is 02:07:46 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.
Starting point is 02:08:02 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.
Starting point is 02:08:11 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.
Starting point is 02:08:23 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.
Starting point is 02:08:36 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.
Starting point is 02:08:53 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
Starting point is 02:09:10 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.
Starting point is 02:09:28 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.
Starting point is 02:09:48 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.
Starting point is 02:10:07 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.
Starting point is 02:10:26 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.
Starting point is 02:10:40 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,
Starting point is 02:10:52 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?
Starting point is 02:11:11 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.
Starting point is 02:11:23 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
Starting point is 02:11:39 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.
Starting point is 02:12:00 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.
Starting point is 02:12:20 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.
Starting point is 02:12:43 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,
Starting point is 02:12:57 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.
Starting point is 02:13:13 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,
Starting point is 02:13:28 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.
Starting point is 02:13:37 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.
Starting point is 02:13:49 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.
Starting point is 02:14:19 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?
Starting point is 02:14:37 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.
Starting point is 02:14:55 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,
Starting point is 02:15:10 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,
Starting point is 02:15:24 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,
Starting point is 02:15:39 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.
Starting point is 02:15:54 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.
Starting point is 02:16:07 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
Starting point is 02:16:28 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.
Starting point is 02:16:42 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
Starting point is 02:16:52 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
Starting point is 02:17:06 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?
Starting point is 02:17:21 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?
Starting point is 02:17:36 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.
