What's up, you delicious dick is. Sorry, welcome back to another episode of Trash Day podcast. What was that? You just say, you delicious dickheads? Yeah. I don't know why that was the first two words I came up with. Why is this episode demonetized?

Jerry, why, why? No, please, it was just a greeting YouTube. It's nothing special, but welcome to Trash Day's podcast. He's Australian. Exactly. This is what you expect. Exactly. You can't expect me to say nice things, okay. But I'm a host for the day.

The Australian boy. He just spilled water all over himself. During my fucking intro. Sorry, I'm just pissing myself right now. I'm here with the boy who pissed his pants and the boy who shits his pants. That's me, that's me. People gonna be like, is there a story?

Yeah, no, this is a story. Do you wanna start that one? Yes, you're starting strong then. Hey, I shit myself. I didn't, I did, but I did. But I did, but. You had a full week of shitting yourself. Since last week, apparently.

I'm still shitting myself. Yeah. So after the podcast, we went to Isakaya, which we'll talk more about later. Yeah. And we had liver and only- Well, you and our producer did. Only me and Malene had liver.

And Malian didn't tell me, I was like, is anyone else sick? And Mayleam was like, nope, no. And then like five days later, she was like, oh yeah, I was sick by the way. I still wanna think that you, I gave you COVID or something. And I'm like, what the fuck? What the fuck?

Tell me you're sick. Well, way to go, Meelan, thanks a lot. Thanks, thank you so much. Thank you for endangering your host. So I'm pretty sure it was like that, that got me like food poisoning, got me food poisoning. Because gone and I didn't have the liver. Yeah, I remember you messaging us being like,

hey, is anyone feeling tired? And Joey said he's feeling fine. I was like, yeah, I'm like feeling pretty fatigued, you know, maybe we've just done a lot. Didn't realize like Connor was just dying in the next room. So like the day after, I remember I had a call at like 10 a.m. and I was fine.

And then I got a bunch of Jojo merch shipped. Cool, great. I opened it. Day in a life of Conner. JoJo merch came in. Very normal day for you. for me. And then after I like opened it, put it down, I was like fucking, holy shit, I'm tired. Like I was weak. I was like, oh my God.

And then later on in the day, I was like, I'll order a curry, you know. I don't know. That's a good idea. I don't know. I have no idea why I thought a curry was like the best idea. And I would like a lot. And I also ate a lot of it.

Like I had like a whole non, like shit tons of rice. Real fucking spicy curry sides as well. Like I went, for some reason, I went all out. Because I was like, what my body needs is energy. Right. That's what it needs. And the best way to get energy, curry. Dirty carrie. Dirty curry.

So, and then I was like, okay, I feel a little better, like in the first five minutes. Immediately after I was like, oh no, I'm in like pain. Like my stomach started really, really hurting. Yeah. I was like, fuck, fuck. And then this whole time I'm thinking, do I have COVID? Like, do I have COVID?

Right, right, right. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I mean, that's the first thing that goes over anyone's mind who gets ill right now. Like, sometimes I have like a slight fever, and like, shit. Shit, shit, I'm dead. I cough in public, bro, I've got it.

I'm dead, dude. Everyone's gonna think I've covered. No, but I was like, especially worried with you, because you texted me being like, bro, like I almost fucking fainted. Yeah, so like that night, I texted you that the next day. Yeah, yeah. And the night of, I was like, curled up in a ball

in my bed, boiling, but like shivering. Yeah, yeah. Sweating nonstop, my bed was like damp as fuck when I woke up. It was disgusting, I know, I'm sorry. And then I had like a horrible, horrible fever. Couldn't get out of bed. I had such bad stomach pain at night and I was like,

all right, I gotta vomit, I gotta go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I vomited and I was like, great, I feel good. And then I sleep for one hour and then we got shitting myself all day. I'm dying, I can't get off the floor. I like nearly fainted and then like an hour later I fainted and I was like, oh my god, right, I gotta go get a hospital.

Because what is this is like COVID, right? Yeah, yeah. So there's like a hospital right next to our house, which is lucky. It's like a five minute walk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I had a friend call them up and see if they like could let me in.

Yeah, and they were like, yeah, sure, come on down. And so they were like, yeah, come through the- Come on down. Come on down. They were like, yeah, man, just bring that insurance, bring that big old insurance card, just come on down. And then I went there and they were like,

someone like, oh, Fuaka-san or something was gonna greet me. And someone comes out like a fucking hazmat suit. Yeah. You're like, Konasan? I was like, yeah, yeah, hi. And they bring me in, they lock me in this room alone,

because obviously they think I might have COVID, so I have COVID symptoms. And then they're like, Nihonogu Dajjol, and I was like, ah, Nihongu wakarnain. And then they're like, oh, okay, okay. So then this, they bring a nurse in who can speak like pretty broken English, but good enough.

And then luckily there's one doctor in this building that could speak like semi-decent English. Yeah. So he came in, he was like, you have COVID symptoms, so we give you test. And I was like, oh cool, cool, cool, yeah, sure. And then he's like, he's like, I will put this in your nurse.

And I'm like, okay. And then she fucking grabs my head like this, right? Like from a- From a fucking distance, grabs my hand, and shoves this thing. And I'm like, ah! Because it's like, it's quite long. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like this big, right? It's fucking horrible. And he puts it in, and then he puts it in a little bit. And I'm like, okay, this is fine. Then he's like, bluh, like, you know how like, when they put the sword in the stomach, you put a little bit, and then fucking tung it in. I'm pretty sure that's how like,

they used to give lobon these, right? Yeah, that's all the thing. They push it in, and they start like, it's the ice-dreaming away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was like doing that and then you fucking shoved it in and I was like, ah, I was like, it-a-it-a-tie,

and then like the nurse was like laughing at me. And I'm like, all right. So you on this camp. Bear mind, in this whole time, I have no idea what's really happening. They said I'm gonna do a bunch of other tests and stuff and I feel like a lab rack. I'm just like in this room, I don't know what's happening.

And then they're like, sure, okay. And then immediately after that, I'm like, oh, it's tight, isn't it? And they're like laughing. Because obviously I have like very selective words that I can choose for, because I don't know the actual words. So I'm like trying to like pick the closest words

to describe what's happening. It's like how many times can I use the word, Itai? Yeah, yeah. And then she's like, and then she's immediately after right, when I'm like this, right, she grabs my arm, starts putting the like blood thing around me. Oh yeah, the blood test.

And I literally was like, Just, just a minute, because I'm like, still like, I'm like, faint, because I'm like, I'm already feeling like feverish, I'm fainting. Like, I'm gonna faint, like, please, you just shove this thing in my mouth. Like, I'm dying, like, I literally said, like, chottomate, like, chottomate.

And then she, again, she's giggling, and I'm like, what the fuck? And I'm like, okay, okay, I got no saying this. And then she's doing it and I'm like, no way, nemui, namui, nemoi, because I don't know how to say, I'm gonna faint. And then she takes it out,

and she like, props you on the bed, and I'm like, all right, She's just like, and I'm like, okay, cool, cool, cool, for the COVID results. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she comes in the room and she looks at it, turns around

and she's like, looking really happy. She's like, oh, so, it's bad though. And I'm like, no joke, she says bad. And I'm like, she's like, it's fine. You got it, so. It's bad. And I'm like, I'm like, it's bad. I'm like, negative, positive?

She's like, oh, oh, negative. I'm like, oh, negative. I'm like, oh. Are you fucking kidding me? Don't scare me like that. That is the most like beautiful like Google translated conversation I was sitting there. I'm sitting there, the whole 30 minutes thinking,

all right, if I have COVID, I gotta tell like Joey, I gotta tell, gone, gotta tell everyone I've been contact with, gotta tell them everywhere I've been, gotta stay at home for two weeks, I'm like, fuck, fuck, like everything. And then she said that to me, I was like, fuck, like, oh no. It's bad.

And then luckily it's nothing, and then they did like more tests. to me, it was really fast though. It was like two hours. I didn't have to wait or anything. As someone from the UK, it's really weird going to any other health care system and just being able to get your results

and going to see the doctor the same day. Having an x-ray on the day of and getting the results on the day. That just doesn't happen in the UK. I remember I thought I broke my leg and they made me make an appointment for like a week and a half to get the x-ray. And I thought, what?

Bro, my leg's like, fuck now. What do you think? I need the x-ray now. What do you expect me to do with this for a week and a half? I guess because it's free, right? Everyone gets it. Yeah, I mean, it's, I guess you can argue which is better, right? I mean, you have to pay for it here, right?

It's like, you pay one third, right? It's very cheap. It was one, I paid one third and I paid $77 for a COVID test, a blood test, and a CT scan. Yeah. Which is like, Americans are probably like losing this shit. Like a CT scan for $77? What the fuck?

I got the breakdown and the COVID test was 600 yen. So like $5. Like five bucks. Yeah, it was like nothing. I'm like, yeah, because I remember I had to take Aki to the hospital once. Like this was like a year ago. Right.

She, I think she like squirted like shampoo, like directly to her right. Oh yeah, I remember that. And she was like, I can't see. I think I've gone blind. So I had to call up the hospital, obviously get an ambulance over and everything. And the entire ride, she was such an American mindset.

The entire ride to the hospital, she's like, oh my God, this is gonna be so expensive, isn't it? This thing's gonna be, and I'm just like, don't worry about it, we'll just fix your eye up, whatever. Yeah, we get to the hospital, it's like 2 a.m. Yeah. We get to the hospital, doctor like does a, you know, quick little check and she's like, okay, you're all good,

you're not blind or anything, you just, it's just really red, it's really burnt out. We washed it out for you, you know, here, take some meds and you'll be all good. Yeah. And then in Japanese hospitals, there's like a kiosk that you have to go to, to like pay for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?

So we go to the kiosk with like this little receipt and we're just like, oh my God, this is gonna be like, couple hundred bucks now, right? Because she's thinking in the American mentality. And I had never really gone to a Japanese hospital before, so I had no idea, either. I was like, oh shit, is it the same?

It's like, if she says it's like a couple hundred bucks and I guess I'm prepared to spend a couple hundred bucks. Dude, it was like $12. And we looked at it and she's like, wait, ambulances are free. Because in America you have to pay like two, three hundred dollars to get a fucking ambulance. Yeah, it's more, I think it's like a thousand.

It's something like that. Like I've heard stories of like a couple of my American friends who broke their arm, for example, and they're like, call an Uber. Yeah. It's like, because we're not paying for a fucking ambulance. We're just gonna call a Uber with like your arm hanging off a threat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's tragic because like, I think I remember, Aki wanted to get an allergy test in, not in Australia, sorry, in America. And it was like $800. Oh, Jesus. For an allergy test. Yeah.

Here you'd pay like $10 for an allergy test. Yeah. And I guess in like the UK, do you guys are free health care? Yeah, we have free health care. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think doctors won't give you stuff like that though unless they think you need it though. Like so it's kind of hard to get stuff like that.

Oh yeah. Cause in Australia like you can go get an allergy test whenever for free. Yeah. Maybe I don't know, I've never done well. I can't comment. It's very some very specific medicines you get for free others you kind of have to pay for. I feel like with UK it's very specific on what illness you have

because sometimes you have like this really common illness. They just tell you to just go home and sleep it off basically. Yeah, UK doctors a lot of the time, I'm very reluctant to like do anything. I mean, I can't, I mean, at least the doctors I've had. I mean, if you just go to like a general practitioner, right, like to get a checkup, it's usually free, right? Yeah.

Whereas the only other, I guess, experience I've had with healthcare outside of the UK is Thailand. And normally it's like pretty, it's pretty like, it's about the same price as it is here in terms of medicine and going to see the doctors and everything. And what I found is that doctors here, in Asia at least, are way more willing to give off, like, some kind of medicine for whatever you have.

I guess there's an argumenter that also could be dangerous though, like just giving off medicine constantly. I mean, that's why there's like an opioid epidemic right now in America. Yeah, yeah. Over prescribing. But I mean, healthcare is a loaded topic. That's a loaded topic that we, that I certainly

do not know enough about to contribute to the conversation. I had a good time. My doctors were very nice, except they scared the shit out of me, you know, that was- Literally, scared the shit out of you. I'm still shitting. Several times. Actually, another thing that was good is like,

There was a pharmacy right around the corner, and they obviously knew I couldn't speak Japanese. I told them, I was like, oh, yeah, Nihonga, what kind of night. And then they were, they made me fill out a form in English. And I was like, fuck, how do I tell them I have like this kind of like this blood condition? Yeah. And I like,

wrote this kanji, which was fucking hard kanji. That was like swoishes. When there's not lines, straight lines, what fuck. There's a curve in this, damn it. Yeah, yeah, fuck. And then I had to write this in like, it must look like a two-year-old wrote this kind.

I really wanna see that now, just to see. I don't know, whatever the kanji for hemophilia is is on the screen right now. Right, right, yeah, it was, and so I gave it, and I'm like, I was like, I made sure I was like, Daizobi, daisoba, and they're like, oh, yeah, Daizob, d'Iso, and they gave me the medicine, and then they gave me a printed, like, A4 paper in English,

explaining what all the medicine was and if I could why I shouldn't take it. I'm like, oh, well, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because normally in Japan, it's just like, oh, you don't speak Japanese? Good luck, yeah, good luck. Oh shit, I think this medicine will work,

yeah, you might have a reaction to it. Rip-Roney's, kid. Like, better find out. Because like most American medicine, like I can't take, like, and I always find that out. Because when I was a kid, I didn't give a fuck. I was like, yeah, I'll take it. Like, yeah, whatever.

Is this a pill off? Oh, fuck, he's it, whatever. I'll give it a go. Yeah, when I was 12, I was like, oh, it's medicine? Yeah, I'll take it. Like, it's good, mess with it. And then when I got older and I started like, you know, when someone told me like,

you can't take ibuprofen and my dad have been giving me ibuprofen for like five years. Oh my God. And it was like, oh shit, I could have like died. Yeah. Yeah, so I can't take ibuprofen and there's so many drugs in America

that it contains stuff that I just can't have. So like, I can't have like most generic ones. As a kid, did you love the taste of like Calpo? I think, I think that was made. Calpo, yeah, Calpo. I fucking love that. It's like an orangey kind of thing. It's like there was an orange cowpaw and like

a black current one as well. Yeah, it's like like cough medicine or something. That's kind of like general cold medicine. Yeah, just like general cold medicine. But as a kid, it tasted, it tasted way too good. I used to love getting sick. Yeah. Every time I would have a sick day, I'm like, mom,

Break out the cowpole. Crackin bottles. Get the top shelf shit, I'm gonna get the cowpull. Like I'm only, you're only supposed to take like one spoonful. But sometimes I just act like extra ill. So I can be like, I think I need another one now. That shit tastes too good to be a medicine. We had something like that in Australia, but it was cough syrup.

Yeah. Right. And like, you normally, it's like strawberry-flavored cough syrup, right? Yeah. And like it still tastes like cough syrup. It has the after-taste the cough syrup. But the first, the initial thing is, like a goop of like strawberry flavored like jelly. So kids were just like fucking downy shot to that shit. Very safe. We're just like, please father. I am sick.

Eat. Turning kids into dry out. Yeah, legit. Did you ever in school wanna like break an arm to like be like like everyone like care? You know what I mean? I wasn't that desperate for attention. Because like everyone would like write on the kids broken cast.

I was like, I want that. I want everyone right on my arm. Mom, can I break my arm, please? I think whatever, like, if there is a god, he knew I wanted to break, because I've never broken a bone in my body. I've, like, done disgusting shit that should have broke bones.

There was a time where, like, yeah, I would see the cast thing and I'd be like, that looks so cool. Okay, that's not what I'm saying, like, I don't wanna break a bone, but I was like a thing. I wanna have a thing. And I remember I was like climbing a tree

and I fell off and I landed on my arm. Just like a cast? Yeah, in the back of my head, I was like, yes. See? Finally! I just worded it wrongly. Yeah.

But I wasn't like willingly like, all right, let me find the close tree. Yeah, I wasn't trying to eat myself on the tree. I was just like, it would be cool though if I did break it. And then when I found out it was just like a really bad bruise, I was like, that's not cool. Can we get a cash that? It's just a bruise. I don't get anything from this. Yeah, what the hell?

Yeah. Yeah. No, because I've also never broken a bone in my body. And I don't know, the thought scares me now, because I don't know what it feels like. The older you get. Yeah. Yeah. Because I see so many people, because, because. I went to high school that was very predominantly sports-based, right?

So boys would be like breaking like their wrists or like their ankles, their arms, their legs, whatnot like constantly. And every time I would ask, because I don't know why that I've never broken a bone in my body other, I would always ask like, does it hurt? And they're always just like, ah, nah, not really. And I'm just like, bullshit.

I've had splinters and they fucking hurt. Like, of course that fucking hurts. What are you talking about? I think there's people who realize that, don't realize like that fingers are broken or something at some point. Oh yeah, my school didn't realize his finger was broken until like it had set like wonky.

Like, because he didn't go to the hospital. And it just said. How do you not realize that shit? Yeah, I don't fucking know. It's like, oh, my finger kind of hurts. Looks kind of weird too. It's like 90 degrees. That's kind of strange.

What's up with that? And meanwhile, there's me. I get a paper cut. I'm like, get the fucking bandages. Can you see bone? Can you see bone? Like what? Get the alcohol, quick.

Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm too British. I feel like if my hand was like impaled, I'd be like, no, well, I mean, it's just a flesh wound. You know, put a bit of sanitized you want it and I think it should be fine.

Honestly, I think like the smallest injuries hurt the most, I feel sometimes though. Oh, paper cut or a splinter hurts like a mother-fuss. What's the worst injury you ever had? Like, like that hurt the most. The worst injury I've ever had. Yeah, I'm intrigued you have one. I remember once when I was a kid,

we were playing tag or it, as we call it. A brutal game. Yeah, no, I'm a sport for barbarian. Barbarians. And I was playing, I was playing with my cousins. And this one time I ran like head, like, I full on sprinted, right? And my cousin was like standing next to a pole.

And then I fell on sprinted to try and get him. And then I tripped and I like face planted into this pole, right? And like, I don't think I got any brain damage or anything like that, didn't get a concussion. But what I did get was this like Tom and Jerry type massive like bump on my head. It was massive, okay?

I've like to this, I've never seen another injury like this where, but like my, my forehead was just like this. And the entire evening, my parents were just spending, like I was on my mom's lap and she would have to like, she had to like literally press it back in slowly over the course of this entire night. You should have just been like, it's my gigabrain just trying to like come out.

It's trying to escape from my head. You know that point where you've got an injury and you don't know how bad it is. And then you see it. and you're like, oh shit, this is like way worse than I thought it was initially. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm like, yeah, I'm good, I can handle this.

And then I saw myself in the mirror. And then when I saw that massive lump, that's when like the wave of pain just like came towards it. So I don't know if it was like a psychological thing, but it was- Probably the worst one I had was, I was out like camping with friends because I always used to do camping every year

with my family and like family friends. And like we were like maybe 10 years old or something. And my friend and I were like, just grabbing rocks, there was like this big cliff face and we were just like kind of just throwing rocks at the cliff because what do you do when you go camping, right? Like while the dads are sitting up the 10, we're like, all right, fuck it, let's just throw rocks or whatever.

And one of the rocks had bounced, like my friend threw the rock against the cliff, it bounced back and my hand was like pressed up against like another stone because I think I was sitting down and the stone came back and just slammed into my fingers. And I was like, ow, initially, but then I looked down and both of my, my fingernails are just completely chipped off.

Oh, fuck. And like it was really weird, right? It was kind of like your thing where it's like, it hurts until you look at it and it's like, oh, now it really fucking hurts. Oh, that's so gross. Yeah, so both of these fingernails were gone for like a month maybe

until they like re-grew back. And yeah, that was probably the worst. So gross. Yeah. I think the most pain I've been in, I was like snowboarding and I went, you know, that does never go out. Snowboarding injuries of the worst.

This was like, oh god, it's like four years ago as well. You know like having some like snow, fucking, what are they, what are they, ski resorts? Yeah. They have some area that's like designated for like tricks and do like hot, like there's like a half pipe. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I know, I like going there. And I try to, I normally can do like a 360 in the air. Yeah. Okay, like it's not clean. Stop bragging. But now, now I'm too scared to do it. Because one of them, like I didn't go off right, And I just kind of like span halfway and my back was facing.

Oh, yeah. And so I was up in the air, maybe like, I don't know. Like, I landed in the bottom of the, like the ramp for the next jump. And it was just hard ice. And I must have been up in the air, like, I don't know, like three or four meters off the ground, just slammed on my back.

Thought I broke my back. Like I was so winded. I couldn't breathe because my lungs had just been like, like fucking pancakes. I was like, and they were like, should we get the, like the ski ambulance and I was like, I'll walk it off. I'll walk it off.

And then I'd like broken the fall by like putting my hand there as well. So I sprained my wrist as well. Yeah, yeah. I've had a lot of snowboarding and skiing. They hurt the most, man. I had something similar like that, but I obviously wasn't in the air for as long.

And also I always make sure whenever I do do the jumps, like I can do like 180s and 360s as well. Yeah. I always make sure that the bottom of it is like powder snow. Just so if I fuck up the land, then it's just like a pill or we like, ah, this feels nice.

Sometimes you're like, I really wanna do this sick jump, but there's no snow at the bottom, but I'm gonna fucking do it. Yeah, I know. Moments before disaster. Yeah, because like up until that jump, I was doing like 180, 180. I was like, I'm gonna do the big one.

I'm gonna do the 360. And then I went for it and it just completely failed. And then I had to be like dragged out of the way because people were waiting to go as well. It's like a line system, you know? Yeah, yeah. And my mate had to like drag me with their skis on. It's like, oh my God, it's horrible.

I think my most painful memory is actually also my earliest memory. So this is my earliest memory of my life. Yeah. So I was, I think I was about three years old. And it's obviously very vivid, but it's given me a phobia of bees, okay? Okay. To give you an idea about where I'm going with this story.

Okay, okay. So here's like my very earliest memory. I remember I was in my parents restaurant, and I see this like thing just like buzzing around. It was like this black dot, just like buzzing around. And all I remember the, all I remember thinking was, I want to bat the shit out of this thing. As a three year old?

As a three year old kid, I'm just like, because it's like moving fast. And I'd never seen a bee before, so I'm just like, I'm gonna bat the shit out of this. That's like some cat brain right there. Right? It's like, thing is moving, I must get it. Literally cat brain.

And then all I remember was I tried batting it. And I remember it moving in a circular motion closing in on my eye, okay? Oh my God. Like, it was like this, I remember it. And then the next thing I feel is just this sharp pain on my fucking eye. Oh my God.

It is, it is like, it scarred me for life. This pain, I still remember to this day, and this is why I have a phobia of bees because that shit was so painful. And so I run to my mom and she licks my eyes and I would never forget my mom's face just like pure shock, just like, oh shit. because the stinger was still in my eyeball.

So the bee had stung me on my eyeball. Like it wasn't like, yeah, yeah, exactly. And we had to go to the doctor. We had to go to the doctor because they had to like tweez out the stinger from my eyes. How did you not go blind from that? It must have gone deep enough, right? Yeah, yeah, I guess.

It must not have gone deep enough. And I think it was on like the white of my eyes, well, so it wasn't like my pupil. So I probably just narrowly escaped blindness from that fucking bee. And yeah, ever since then, I, I learned an important lesson. Don't fuck with bees.

Don't fuck with bees. Don't fuck with any wildlife, honestly. That's the advice I always give to people who wanna go to Australia, right? It's like, how do all these Australians avoid all of these like poisonous snakes and spiders? Don't fuck with them and they won't fuck with you. Like if you go over to like a poisonous snake

and start poking it, yeah, you're gonna get fucking bitten. Don't do that and they won't bite you. It's really easy. Most animals don't want to attack you. No. It's a defense mechanism, right? Like don't fuck with them and they won't fuck with you. Really simple.

Speaking about animals, boys, not that it has anything to do with anime. I wanna talk about anime, you've even done that. Okay, yeah, sure. Remember when we started off as an anime type podcast and then we just didn't talk about anime at all. Yeah, I mean, we always wanted it to be a whatever the fuck you wanna talk about.

But anime is gonna be a big, like. Oh yeah, of course. Yeah. What have you guys been watching recently? Fuck all, man. You're watching anything that's tearing right now? I mean, uh, Aki watched Uzaki-chan the other day. Oh, how was that?

She watched the first episode, and then she was like, you're gonna wanna watch this. So I watched the first episode, actually this morning, right, like before we came to the office. And, uh, I can't fucking stand it. I'm sorry. Yes, same here.

I'm sorry. Aki fucking hates it. I fucking hate it. It is so fucking boring. I saw a clip of it, I haven't watched it, by the way, but I saw a clip where she got stuck in a bush. Yeah, yeah. And to me, it just looked like the porn

where they get stuck in the washing machine. You know when they get stuck in a washing machine? I thought it was a hentai. Because I was this an evolution of the sun I think I would enjoy it if it was a hentai material. I mean it's literally like the stock in the wall tag that you have without the actual fucking. I thought because the laundry thing had been blowing up recently

in like the hentai porn that I thought it was like a... I know man, it's always been a thing in hentai. Yeah, but it's propped up a lot of porn recently so I thought, oh it's a hentai thing. Yeah, yeah. Which is, I guess that's just like what everyone is about anime anyway. It's like, oh, it's a hentai, right?

Animated hentai, yes. What is it about? Like, it's, it's literally just a slice of life where you follow this like loud lolly who has big titties. I'm like, I get the appeal of it because it's- Why is it blowing up? Because because of the girl.

Because she's a loud lolly with big tities, that's why. That's literally it. It looks shit. That is her body is her personality. Yeah. I don't know, like, it's, she's become the new meme girl of the month, I guess.

Because she, the manga has been pretty popular, or least popular within certain circles, because I see her face everywhere. Yeah, it's everywhere. I don't understand why. That, well, I reckon what it is, it's that Uzaki-chan for like this new year, or I guess maybe this, I don't know, I don't wanna say this generation,

but it's essentially the same as Umaruchan. Yeah, right? Umarchan is the exact same type of show where if you can stand Umarana-chan and you can relate and like Umaradishan, then you probably love him-a-you-uh, right? Yeah. I couldn't stand Umar-o-chan.

I'm like, this little, is fucking taking advantage of her brother so fucking hard. I would have slapped the shit out. I want to curb stomp, man. Dude, legit. Like, I would just, and so I feel that Uzaki-chan is like kind of a similar show, where like, if you don't like Uzaki-chan as a character,

then you won't be able to stand the show because she is the entire show. Yeah. It's like Watamote as well, right? Like, if you don't like Kuroki, which I didn't, I couldn't fucking stand it. Because the whole show is just basically her annoying the fuck out of the main character. And the main character's like, I hate you, but, you know, yeah. You, but you know.

That's her personality trope, is that she's fucking annoying. Which is really funny because people are like, oh, she's not that annoying. When a lot of people don't realize the name Uzaki is a play on words in Japanese for Uzai, which means annoying. That's why she's called Uzaki. It's because she's fucking annoying. And like, because I know so many people like friends of ours, right, like Dakota's a fucking massive fan of that show. And I'm just like, why? Yeah, Dakota, why?

Why? Why, Dakota? What does it say about you as a person? What does it say about you as a person? Is it because she has a fucking skin fang and has to big tits? Like is that it? Like why?

What's the fang? What's why? I'll tell you why, it's cause the dogenchis are good. But like, this is like one of those shows where it's, it's its own specific genre now, I swear to God, where I swear there are just some shows or some manga that I swear people make just because they like, oh, this is gonna be good

to Jinchi material. Yeah, that's what it's gonna be the top tier that's the genre of these shows. It's the genre is doginchi material. Yeah, that's what it is. Because they always have like the meme girl. Like it's always focus on this one meme girl that a lot of people may find annoying,

but for some reason she just works in really good, like in any situations in Dojinches, they're just, they're just golden. Oh yeah, because as much as I don't dig the Uzaki Chan anime, man, the Uzaki Chan Dojans are fucking lit. My God. You guys are degenerate. Every single one that I have seen, so I'm just like, damn son.

I wish I could read porn. I just can't. A monkey brain, man. It's like... I mean, you don't have to. I mean, you don't read anyway, let alone read porn. Yeah, so how am I gonna read, that's like, that's even worse than the gaming thing with reading.

Like I don't wanna read my porn, I want shitty acting, and I wanna skip to five minutes in and then decide what I'm gonna do. It's because Uzaki-chan's personality is so fit for Dojinches, because she's like that, like, always teasing kind of character, right? And I'm just like, well, if you put that in the sexual aspect, man, that makes for some spicy Dojans.

And they are, they're really fucking good. And her big tits don't help. Honestly, her body proportions do not help, right? I don't think I would enjoy the Uzaki-chan dojians if her body was just like normal looking. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But because it's so disproportionate and built for dogeons, I'm just like,

it's clearly planning for this to be dogen. It's just the show that's made for Hentai. Like even more so than some fan surveys see etchy shows. There are just like some etchy shows and then there are etchy shows that are made, I feel, just for like the fan material under the dodgians and everything like that. It's like being like, oh yes, this new Eragay came out,

but I'm gonna get the all ages version instead. Yeah, why would you do that to yourself? Why? What's the point in that? So out of 10, the first episode? It's like a three. Yeah, at least. That sounds generous.

It looks good. That's all I'm gonna, like Uzaki-chan, I'll admit, Uzakshan's character design, fucking amazing. I love it, it's great. I reckon that's why a lot of people got drawn into it, because her character design is great. I love her character design, and she has such a good, memeable face.

You know, you know that one girl in every season that just has the best facial expression? Oh yeah. Like this season, it's definitely Uzak-I-chan, like her smug face, the smug energy man. The smug face, yeah, that's what it is. She's got like the perfect smug face. But other than that,

anime fans are just like, it's a great show. It's got a smug face, I'm sold, I'll pay it. It's, this is art, this is like, congratulations, smug face. Anime fans are the real monkey brains. Don't you say that, like, I just like genuinely want to know, like for people who are watching this right now and saying that they love Uzaki-chan,

what is it about the show that you like? Because I tried, right? I always do my best, even if it's a show I don't like, I'm like, okay, why is it that people are getting to this show? Like, what aspects is it? And I looked at Uzaki-chan, I'm just like, the only thing I can think of is, her tits.

That's the only redeeming factor about this show. And I feel bad because I feel like that's the easy to go to joke of like, oh, this show has no substance or anything, but I legitimately, like, I just, I'm just curious. I wanna know why people like it's not like I'm like trying to like dis on people who like the show, like by all means, right? But I just wanna know like, what is it? Is it, if it, is it the tits?

Because if that's the case. Is it like a call for help? Because if that's the case, right, then you could literally just be like, okay, I fucking hate this anime. If I add tits, seven out of ten. This feels like an intervention. It's like just admit you have a problem. Just tell us.

Just admit that you like the tits. And that's the only reason why I enjoy this show. Well, have you been watching anything else this season, Jerry? Or not really, no. Because I tell you what I've been watching. Rentz a girlfriend. Yeah, me too.

And that is, is that a guilty pleasure? I don't know if that's a guilty pleasure. I genuinely think it's like the best show this season. I think it's a really good show. Really? I say it's the best show this season though, gone. I mean, re-zero is. Re-Zero head and shoulders above the rest.

Oh yeah, yeah. Okay, actually, yeah, the last episode, have you watched the last episode? Oh my God, I was crying like a fucking baby. Like, re-zero, we'll get into ReZero in a minute, but rent a girlfriend. That is just, why does it work? Because it's such a generic harrim plot, right?

I hate the protagonist, so. Yeah, yeah, oh. Because I read the synopsis of that, I'm like, this seems really insely. Like, no, it seems like it's made for insell. Like, the protagonist is a living bra moment. Every time he does something, I'm like, for fuck's sake, why are you doing this, bro?

Seriously, bro? No, bro, the problem is right. Now this anime comes out, people are gonna be like, well, we should actually make this a thing. They're gonna be like, we should do this. We should normalize this, just normalize paying girls. We already do that with online.

The gaming, the e-gill.g.g. or something, whatever it is. Yeah, yeah. Game of girl.g.g. Whatever, fuck you. I'm surprised you're enjoying it though, It's really fun. I mean, I hate the main character. And I saw when you tweeted out saying like,

oh, he's irredeemable. There are people like, no, oh, he's not irredeemable. You know, it's like, bro, he's annoying as fuck. That's the insults. Like protecting their boy. I know it's probably like the Mangarides who's like, well, he gets character. Yeah, yeah, which I'm looking forward to seeing

him become a better person. But right now, I can't remember what I called him. I think it was like a cumstain. Like a cumstain. Yeah. Which is so accurate. It's so accurate. It's a cum stain.

The way I view him is like, I fucking hate back a girl from my hero academia. Everyone fucking loves him and I'm like, he's a piece of shit. He's so selfish. I don't get it. Why are you people, like, why are you booing me? I'm right. Like, yeah, because I think that's the thing that really pissed me off,

which is how selfish he was. He's so selfish. He is ridiculously selfish. And like, if you're one of those people who relate to him, It's the people who are related to Subaru in the start. It's like, what's wrong with you? Yeah, it's like, okay, like if you are my mate and you were acting and you were acting like him,

I would, I would have, like, I would need a talking to you. Yeah, I would have to talk to you. You would catch these hands. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Because I, the person who I liked the most wasn't him, but he was his best mate. Yeah, like he was a true bro who like, who was looking out for him and everything.

And so far, the main protagonist hasn't done, anything that's made that's made me feel like, man, he deserves best girl, man, he deserves his bros, you know. So I'm like, I'm looking forward to seeing his character development, which I assume is what happens still, in the manga? Or it's the manga rea. Okay, being the mongeries, be like.

If this was shit that happened in real life, you, and this was in like your friend groups, you'd never be forgiven for doing the shit that he's pulled. You would absolutely be clown on by your brother. Yeah, so he like rents a girlfriend, she's great, you know? I mean, this is just spoilers for like first three episodes. And then, you know, this girl that dumped him, he immediately gets back

with her even though she's talking shit about him in front of his friend. And it's like, what are you, what? I can't believe this shit. This is like, this is where you would be like, wow, this guy's my friend. Yeah, it's what you would be like, no. I'm friends with an absolute cunt, right?

Yeah, selfish asshole. Yeah. Oh my God. And like it's one of the first harriman anime where there's clearly a best girl because she's through fucking girl of the season. She's such, she's like, MVP, MVP. She's coming through.

Yeah. She's not only like helping him out. She's like with the grand situation? Oh my god. Yeah. Like I'm there in my corner, like I'm fucking cheering. But at the same time, I kind of don't want to cheer as well. Because cheering means that she has to end up with this person.

At the moment, at the moment. And it's so hard to like be like, woo, go protagonist. I hope she gets like a giga chat just to make incels mad. I want in cells mad, bro. Man, I've seen the in-cell takes on Twitter, man. I think it get me fucking fuming. Oh my god, you guys have never left your room. Is this your first, like, haram anime that you've been following then?

Weekly? Because haram anime don't really seem like a thing you would watch. Yeah, that's why I was surprised when I heard you were watching it. I mean, I normally watch them, but I think because they make life so difficult for themselves, it's so frustrating to watch. It's like you're, you didn't have to make this difficult. You, like, you made your life shit. You could have spoke to her, but you fucking sat there.

Like, okay, one thing, that you would never do in real life, right? If your girlfriend, even if it's your rental girlfriend. You go after her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a universal thing, like even like idiots. Yeah. People who are the most nervous people on earth and shy, they go after the person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And if they don't, your friends will immediately be like, yo, dude, go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like the thing that pissed me off is like in a lot of these situations, his friends are acting like his friends should act. They're like, bro, get your go, get your go. And he's getting angry that they don't know

the full situation, even though he's put himself in this situation. Bro, you go after the girl if she storms out angry. That's like rule number one. Exactly. Even if it's a fake girlfriend, I would still go after my girl, you know? Yeah, exactly. The reason why I don't think I like Harams is because like maybe in my head, I'm like,

I'm trying to speed run it in my mind. I'm like, what would I do for optimal strats to get the girl? Like, no, no, no, you did the wrong route here. You just lost 20 seconds, you know what I mean? Well, yeah, but I think that's the problem, right? It's like, you're trying to like watch these kinds of shows. To relate to like. Well, no, you're basically.

If we're relating, it's like speed runs, right? Like you're trying to be like, all right, how am I gonna speed run this? While watching 100% run? That's what it is. It's like, why aren't they taking the optimal route? Not knowing that they're trying to do 100% round. I think you put Harams into like the wrong genre then.

I don't know. I just, most of the stories I find really underwhelming and I don't, like some of them I've really enjoyed. Some of them. Oh no, a lot of them are very like, come on, bro, just get to the fuck. But most of them like, you watch three and you feel like you've watched all

of Harem. Like, you know what I mean? Oh yeah. I mean, for me, the closest thing I would relate Harem to actually is that's, is sports. Because, okay, here's the thing. Here's the, here's the enjoyable part of a harum, right? It's picking a team, picking your girl,

and then fucking like cheering for her. You know, this is, this is about speed running the shit. This is about getting cock teased about who the protagonist gonna end up with. But sometimes, oh yeah, I guess that's a term, sorry that, yeah, I was about to say, if there's only one main, I was like, yeah, yeah, exactly. That's just a romance at that point.

Yeah, romance I don't like. Romance, harrim is, but about 90% of harams, you already know. Wait, but why don't you like romances then? Because that's the speed run, if anything. Because sometimes they just do dumb shit in it. And I'm like, no one would ever do this. Well, they have to make a cohesive story, right?

They're not just gonna be like, all right, I'm gonna meet this goal, episode one, episode three, I'm together. End of the story, baby. Sometimes they do shit in romance, that I'm like, this is, like, okay, I know it shouldn't be realistic, but then also there's just some stuff

that's like hard for me to ever believe whatever happened. Right, right. I'm trying to think of a case. I can't off the top of my own. What romance anime have you even seen then? Yeah. Name a bunch of iconic ones and I'll say.

Golden Time. Yeah, Golden Time. Torador I really liked. Torador I really liked. Yeah, I think I like most of them. I just never seek them out. Like I, it's something that if a friend recommends and I have nothing better to do

and I put it on, I'll probably enjoy it. But it's not a thing that I seek out for myself. And I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this, especially with those people who watch only Shonen. They're like, get that shit out of here. There's not a fight scene. Like, Haram especially, I feel that most shows that I've watched,

It's like, oh, that's the one. If any of these girls are gonna get it, which is, you know, even a mystery. Yeah. 90% of the time, nothing fucking happened. It's like, oh, the protagonist's superb. That's the show. It ends, right? What was that one from a few years ago

where it was like they were all like wizards and the one guy could like counter magic and it was fucking awful? You just described like fucking 90% of most like magic high school harrim shows. Yeah, and it'll be like eight girls and they all have to be like, of one personality trait and that's it.

Oh yeah, yeah. Are you talking about index? That's the other thing like, Count for Magic. Wait, index is the guy who he's like the- He has like the right hand that can counter like magic and there's also the irregular of magic high school. Those, I love that series.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was around that the same season. If an Estradaos. Some, I don't fucking know this guy. They all sound the same. Astros swans. Yeah. I'll try and find it to get.

Let's like, like, like trying to pinpoint an East club by saying, what was that one show where the guy gets transported to the other world? Yeah, yeah. And I guess that it gets overpowered and stuff. Yeah, yeah. If I find what it is, it's on the screen right now. If not, I'm just holding my hands up like an asshole.

Night in magic, maybe, that one. I'll find, I'll find it. They're all crap. It was garbage. The thing about harem anime is that I can never watch two at once, right? Because when I'm watching two at once, that's like me watching the same show twice. But every time a new one comes on,

then this time it's rent a girlfriend. And what I will say about rents a girlfriend is that it's just very addicting to watch. Yeah, yeah, it is. I think, and I think it's because the main character is the way he is as well, because you're, you're sitting there fuming, but you click on that next episode

because you, you want us, you're like cheering for him to become a better guy and just to act the way that you want him to act. Isn't it funny how it's like the opposite of real life? You're like, the moment you see people, like, get out of my life. I don't know, but in the anime, please get better, come on, no, you can do it,

you can do it. Like, imagine the scenario of rent a girlfriend in real life, You know, like, one of your mates. Especially in this climate. Yeah, exactly. Finally, one of your mates is paying for like a girl just to rent her as a girlfriend and parade her around.

And you're like, bro, that's a real bra moment. That's not, that ain't cool. I can think of like several people who would do that. But like in anime, for some reason, I don't know why. Because sometimes there's scenarios that I feel wouldn't work in real life or even in like live action series. But because it's anime and because it's animated, My suspension of disbelief is just a bit more.

So like, I can get into it. You get to hear their like thought process. Yeah, actually like, you know, he's here that they have compassion and stuff. So you can kind of simply. Yeah, because a live action rent a girlfriend would be probably one of the cringiest things you'll ever watch.

Yeah, yeah, we'd be pretty awful. Yeah. So have you ever like completed a harrow anime to the end where Best Girl wins? Oh, I don't know if a Best Girl won. Wait, wait, what, name a few famous Haram anime? Nisikikai. Nisikoi didn't watch.

Talaveru. I don't think I've watched many. Aramanga, Sensei. The world God only knows. The world God only knows I watched. Or to the end? Yeah, all like three seasons or whatever. Oh, damn.

And that was good. But I don't remember what happened. That doesn't seem like a show you would watch. No, exactly. I'm just like, oh, he watched that one. I watched all of it and then I was like, wait, I have to read the manga now? Yeah.

What do you mean? We have three seasons. Don't stop now. Keep going. I thought normally when it's gets to season three, that's normally like, all right, we're in here for the long run. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then it just ended and I'm like, what do you mean? What do you mean? That was a really good show. I love that, sad. So you've never gone to the end where like, there's a winning girl where there's an actual girl. Like a clear winner.

Where there's a clear winner. I probably have, I probably just can't remember it. Well, yeah, because they're all probably generic. Yeah. It's like, again, like, we all know I have monkey brain. Yeah. Most of the anime that's like, if it's not an eight out of ten or higher for me, it probably is like in the forgotten.

Yeah. Yeah, it's in the mayor category. It's in the like, okay, it's good, but not good enough for me to like retain memories of it. Yeah. No, because that's the reason I watch Haram anime, because once you watch one, you've basically watched them all. So to me, I love watching the same thing over again.

I mean, I do watch all the Issaqai, man. It's the Issaqai man, after all. But I don't know, it's just fun being in the race, right? And part of the fun is being in the community and seeing all the salt and tears from the losers. I mean, it's like real sport. Part of the fun is shitting on the losing side. It's like a very, very long sports game.

Yeah, it is, it is. The 12 week long sports game, right? And that's why you can get, that's why you get so invested in it because you're reading this, you're reading this manga, because normally it's a manga, because the anime, I can hardly, I can, like, it's really rare for an anime, anime harum to actually go through to the end. Yeah.

So you normally follow the manga for like weeks and weeks, and sometimes it's years. And that, final chapter where your girl wins, man, that's like a euphoric feeling. Wouldn't know? I've experienced that recently with, what the fuck is it?

Boktachi binkyo-dikina? Oh, we never learn? We never learned. Yeah, yeah, because they recently, like, ended that and best girl won, and I was just like, yes! Finally, thank you! If you had to give me a recommendation

for a harem manga to read, what would you tell me? I would recommend we never learn. Really? Yeah, that's really cute. And like, it's, I've read so much haram stuff, much harem stuff and this is one of the few series where I'm just like, wow, I like all of these girls. Like there isn't a single goal,

like all of these girls can easily win. Yeah. And all of these goals are fucking awesome. And so I wasn't too mad. Or I mean, I was happy because my favorite one won, but I think when I saw around in the community when like people were rooting for other girls that were like, you know, my girl didn't win, but I ain't complaining, you know, I'll take the second place.

It's all right. It's all good, man, it's all fun. Just seeing how people justify their losing position It's beautiful when you're in that winning girl. When you're backing that winning horse, it's just like, oh, the tears taste so good, man. But I mean, you're watching one now with Renta Girlfriend. Yeah, I'm just like, would you follow up

on the manga if the anime ends and you just, if I'm really into it, yeah, I probably would. Yeah. It'd have to end like on an amazing cliffhanger. Do you read a lot of manga? It's hard because I feel that the time when I would read manga, I'm normally doing something else. But like I've seen you like reading quite a few months.

I mean you read all of like terraformers. If I read a manga, it's like nonstop. Yeah, yeah, I cannot put it down. So it's very like hard for me to get into it. So I don't think you'd enjoy then if it's like a currently serializing. Yeah, I don't read currently serializing except for One Punch Man.

Yeah. That's always a treat whenever it pops up. It's like, new chapter. I'm like, fuck yeah. Like action happens in every chapter of One Punch Man. Oh my God. One Punch Man manga is fucking beautiful, man. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I love that shit. And then I try to read the web comic, but I was like, oh, God. You know what I mean with the guy taking off the headset? He's like, oh, it's good. It's funny, but it's like the best. You can't, you can't go back to the web manga once you've experienced Murata Yuski's art.

Exactly, the art is so good. And it fucking blows my mind that the first season actually managed to capture how hype his art was. Oh yeah. And maybe even exceed it at some points, but like, his art is fucking insane. I mean, I've loved Lunata Yuski since Ischil 21. So when I found out he was doing one punch man,

I was like, Yes. The best. Is shield 21 is still one of my favorite sports manga of all. That's something I've downloaded to actually read at some point. But it's like every time I'm gonna start a sports manga,

it's like slam dunk or I shield and then I just, I'm like, fuck, which one should I choose? Just do both, man. Honestly, those are my top two. And those are like the two sports manga that you should definitely read the sports manga and not watch the sports anime. Because they are, they have not aged well.

Mostly because their matches take so fucking life. This was back in the day of like Dragon Ball Z. I remember the first time I watched slam dunk. And I remember thinking, why is a match like 10 episodes? How can they possibly stretch a match over to 10 episodes? And I watched the entirety of the slam dunk anime. And then I read the manga.

And then it just felt like when Rock Lee had taken off his training weights. Like, it was moving so fast. And I was like, I didn't know, I didn't know the story could move this fast. This is how it's supposed to feel. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. But yeah, like definitely, I think not enough people read sports manga or sports anime.

Every single sports anime that I've consumed, I've loved. Like Yomishu Petal really surprised me. I really fucking loved that. I finally now have an excuse to start reading Haiku now that it's finished. I do wanna read that because I found the anime a little boring. Oh, really? Yeah, no, I've heard- How come?

I got half of you the second season and I'm like, why does it feel like I'm watching season one? But I just felt like I was watching season one again. Like is that bad? Is that a fair? No, I mean, I feel like it gets better and better every season. Because I remember, it's high-key. Everyone says that.

I feel like I'm in the minority. Yeah, everyone says that, yeah. I feel like I was properly sold in high-Q, like properly, properly into it, the last match of season two. And then season three came along, and season three is just one match. And I remember thinking to myself,

before the season started, how can they make an entire season from just one match? We're going back into slam dunk territory. That would drive to be insane. This is way too dragged out. And then I watched it and I'm like, oh my God, this is the best season so far. This has taken it to another level.

But when I know that it's gonna be a full season, what I'm thinking in my head is like, whoa, that was amazing. But I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna find the conclusion for like 20 episodes. And I know roughly what's gonna happen. This boy's trying to speed run a sports market. Well, I don't know what's gonna happen. They don't know the pacing.

I'm like, great, this is awesome. Like I'm shot. I don't know like what to expect. If I go into it now and thinking, okay, I'm gonna get, what is it, 12 episodes? Yeah, it was only like nine episodes. It was less. Okay, that's good.

Okay, nine episodes is manageable. Well, if it's like 25, and it was like, all the season was 25 episodes, I'd be like, I can't do it, I can't. Well, that's why the slam dunk in Ischil 21 manga is so good because the pacing in that for every single match is legitimately like, this could end in two chapters

or it could end in 100 chapters. I'm gonna try reading one of them. I mean, I want to read manga on stream. I've been trying to get permission from a company to be able to be able to be. Yeah, yeah. I think that would be hype. Dude, if you, if you like do a stream

where you read Eye Shield or Slam dunk, like I'll tune into that. Cause I wanna know, right? I wanna know how you think. I'd probably be like the most boring reactor of all time. Yeah, because I'm the guy who just doesn't get hype when I'm watching or reading something.

Dude, I tried to, I tried to do an anime watching stream like a couple of times. And I look back on the vods, I'm like, I need to delete these. Because it is the most, I'm literally just like, well, I fucking jinxed it the entire time. I was just like, well, with, all right, yeah.

Yep. With manga, I thought, well, if I can voice out most of it, I mean, that'd be very draining. Yeah, but that's more entertaining. Yeah, that's entertaining, right? That's not like the natural reaction where you're just like reacting to it. Because for me, when I'm watching something,

I'm literally like dead eye, the hype of shit could be happening and I'm just still like, yeah, that's pretty much me unless it's sad, then I'm just like sobbing my eye. Yeah, I'm fucking crying. Like when I'm in that mood, I will fucking cry at anything. Right, right, yeah. Like, I fucking cried at the God of High School episode,

and I was like, why? This shit was fucking awful. God of high, why? God of high school. No, no, because I just wanted to cry that day. And so that was the episode. So wait, wait, at what scene? At what scene?

Fuck, it must have been like, we're talking like episode five now. Are you watched episode five? I've watched episode five. Yeah, I've watched episode five. There's someone with his back story with his friend and I was like, this isn't even that fucking sad. Because, and they completely ruined the show for me

the episode before with the wedding. And I was like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so dumb. That wedding episode was the dumbest episode. And then you cried the next episode. Yeah, because I was in one of those moods where like a fucking Cheeto commercial

would get me like, you know what I mean? Oh, I don't know what you mean. I just, I get those moods where sometimes like, I'm not going to cry, but I know that crying going to me feel better. Yeah. Even though I'm not sad, I'll just cry just because it'll help.

I'm sure, like there's people who can relate to this. I'm sure, yeah, but I don't think you're gonna find them in this podcast. I'm with like two gigabrain like floating, meditating geniuses. They don't experience this kind of. I don't know man because the biggest, I'm like the fucking opposite of you, right? Because I could have like, you could show me like the saddest fucking story.

And sometimes I'm like stonewall, dead face, feel nothing. You play like the Anna Hannah ending song or a certain piece of music. I'm like bawling my eyes out. Music for me is such an important practice. It all goes back to that music episode, doesn't it? Yeah, exactly. I was listening to music the day, and I was like, oh yeah, my favorite songs

is just the ones with no talking. I like the noise. I did appreciate Kevin Penkin's tweets. Just be like, how he was so gigatilted when he watched that episode. Because he tweeted out being like, okay, people are linking me to this particular trash taste episode. I gotta go check it out.

And then like two hours later, he just tweets out being like, Conno, we have to talk. Kevin, Kevin doesn't make, except for like, in Made an Abyss, but normally his songs don't have people singing in them. So that's nice, I can appreciate the beeps and the boobs that Kevin makes.

I love your beeps and boobs Kevin. So yeah, what do you think of God of high school? It's just kind of pretty and that's kind of about it. Yeah, that's kind of, I hate to say it because like I really do want the rap between the anime is to like kill it. Yeah. But I don't know if it's that like,

I don't know who wrote it, the story, I don't know if they're inexperienced their first time, but the story kind of does feel like it's like a little all over the place right now. Because God of High School for me is the one show I really, really wanna like. I wanna like God of High School. I mean, it's a fucking, just a tournament arc

of an anime, right? Starts up a tournament arc. A wet dream. Yeah, it should be my wet dream, but for some reason, I just can't get into it. And it's, it's, I think it blew its loads too quickly, because it just started with tournament arc. And I'm not invested in any of the characters.

It just, it just feels weird. I could see why it would work in like a manga formula? Yeah, I've, I've read the manwa of it, original webtoon Marwa. What's the Manwa like? The Marwa, it's like, I don't know, the parts I like about the Marwa is kind of the same parts

that I like about the anime. But it doesn't mean that it's like, as you said, it's not, I think it did kind of kick off a little too hard at the beginning, where it's just like, you gotta give me time to like kind of ease into it. Yeah, because then the fights, like when you get the flashbacks halfway through,

it just kind of feels like weird, like a cliche. Yeah, I'm just like, Of course they have a backstory, everyone has a fucking backstory. Like who doesn't have a backstory? Yeah. Did it need to be in the middle of the fight? It's the question, right? I mean, I don't know, most shonen flash facts

are in the middle of the fight. But then it's on characters that we already have some understanding of much of the time. Right. And then it builds upon it, but when it's the only introduction you have to that character, like the guy when his sick friend,

it's like, this guy was just a fucking stone wall before and now you want me to give a shit? Yeah, now it's like, oh shit, we have to shoehorned personality right now, yeah. Bro, it's 20-20, everyone is a fucking sick friend. You know what I mean? It's like, like, oh, oh, like. Like, and in the main villain, like,

it just kind of seems like, why would anyone make a deal with that guy? I don't know, I don't know. That guy looks like a lone shark. Like, it's like, when the guy comes up, she's like, oh, I'll save your friend. Yeah. If you fight for me, that sounds like the sketchiest deal ever.

Like, what? It's like, it's like agreeing to do like a homeless fight and for some meth. It's like, of course the homeless man isn't gonna give you meth. You're fighting a homeless man, it's not legal. It was a mess.

I just, the whole thing was like, just you watch it and you're like, none of this is good, but I'll keep watching because it's pretty. Cause I really want to like it because it looks so good. Like, it's fucking amazing. Mapper like blew it out of the park

with the fight animation and it's every episode has a really, really good looking fight. Just fucking great. And I really, really wanna be invested in this fight. But for me it's just like watching fireworks. No, it's like really pretty and then I get nothing out of it. And I'm gonna watch it next week

because I really want to get invested. I hope it turns around and gets better. Because at the moment, it's just not doing it for me. And even though something like Tower of God is I feel worse animated, that was, that drew me into its world and characters and like everything, so much quicker and so much faster. No, I agree that, yeah.

Well, I mean, control is more originals coming, so I'm hoping one of them is like... Well, isn't Nobles getting an anime? Adaptation from what I've heard. I'm probably most looking forward to that, because I think, of the three, like God of High School, Tower of God of Noblest.

I probably enjoyed the Noblest, Marlis. Yeah, and then they're making original shows. And now they're making a bunch of original shows as well. So yeah, it's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be interesting. When are they gonna start animating the adult Monwa? Oh dude, I was just about to say, yeah, you plugging my video where I fucking talk about it? No, I just wanna talk about Adulta Manuel.

Dude, if they make them, if they make an anime for like sexercise. Yeah. Or like, you know, any, like, what's the other one, the one with the- Sweet guy. Sweet guy, yeah. That's my fucking favorite, dude. That's a fucking favorite dude.

That's a haramonger, you should read, oh my God, you need to read sweet guy. Sweet guy is basically a haramonger, but for adults. That sounds really familiar. Sweet guy's the one where the guy gets like zapped by like an ab like machine and then he develops the power

to make any go horny just by touching him. So he has the power of the cum touch, right? And it's this guy who's basically like, like the rent-a-girlfriend protagonist. Like Johnny Sins. Yeah, he is. He's like Korean Johnny Sins. Like it's this in-cell who gets this superpower.

It's always an in-cell. It's always the insale. Where he gets the superpower of like, you know, basically any time he touches a girl, he can make them horny and wanna fuck him. And then he does a lot of fucking. Yeah, a lot of fucking. That sounds great.

So it's, but the one main girl that he's aiming for, the power of the cum touch doesn't work on her. Yeah. It only cures her headaches. That's the pot. I mean, it's extremely useful. Yeah. searing headaches and the guy's like, let me help you.

Let me help you. Oh, thank you. My headache's gone and he was like, damn it, I wanted you to get horny. Why are you not weird? And then I think what the one series I've been getting into or was had gotten into was a Miss Mystic, which is what I recommended for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I discovered Miss Mystic after I binged domestic girlfriend and I'm like, I want something spicy in my life. I need to keep this spice train going. And Miss Mystic, I feel is that, is that perfect mix of my girlfriend of just a nice spicy story and like,

and like sex as well. Yeah, pretty much. It's like a really compelling, like I actually give a shit about the mystery behind the whole thing, while also being like, ooh, yay, boobies. So it's, it's... Do you want to explain to Connor what the main plot for?

Okay, so Miss Mystic is, so there's, of course, insult protagonist comes off. It's always the insult protagonist. Well, I know that demo, I guess. And like, I don't know, I made this joke in my video, but I'm like, why is, that all of these like fucking insult protagonists have to like go through like a clumsiness litmus test

and like pass it with flying colors. Like it's always it's always the clumsy motherfuckers right because like he's on a train, he sees this really pretty girl and he's like damn, she's hot. And then of course this clumsiness kicks in, spills coffee all over her. He guides her to like the toilet to help her get changed and whatnot.

He's waiting outside and then suddenly he gets this message from the girl and she's masturbating in the toilet. Yeah. She's just full on masturbating in the toilet. She basically just sends like a premium Snapchat to him essentially. But he can't save it and there's no like traces of it. Yeah. And so he's like, okay, what the fuck?

Is this actually the girl that I just helped? And where the fuck did the video come from and everything? And so now there's this entire mystery behind this like main girl that he's trying to get with where it's like, who the fuck is she and why is she like fucking with my life. That sounds oddly like amazing but also like this is like coming on the mystery express or something. No, no, it totally is because like the more, basically the more he gets involved with this girl.

And the more like, the more his life gets fucked up. Yeah, so he's already has like a girlfriend. Don't take your dick and crazy. Yeah, no. Like he doesn't know if it's this girl that's causing it. It's just, coincidentally, when he met this girl, his life started, like, his life just like is on a spiral. That sounds fucking good.

It's really good. Spiral downwards. And like a lot of things keep happening to him, like messages being sent or like videos being leaked and everything. And there's no way to trace it. And he doesn't know who is fucking with him. He doesn't know who's fucking with him, why they're fucking with him.

But someone is. Because the girl that he's trying to get with is looks and acts really innocent in front of him. Yeah. But then there's this entire mystery of like, is she the one that's actually doing? Yeah, that's really fucking good. It's really good.

I wanna read that. Yeah, that's the thing, right? It's like the mystery is like so well prepared that you actually give a shit about it and you're not just reading it for the tits and ass right. Yeah, because he's not an insult because he has a girlfriend, doesn't he? Yeah, of like 10 years.

Yeah, I forgot. He's actually gonna get married to this girl. Yeah. And so like, whatever happens starts fucking up with their relationship, his, his mentality goes more and more insult, though. Yeah, he like evolves into an insult. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what's really good about it is the story is,

the story, the story complements the sex scenes as much as, you know, it's not just sex for the sake of sex. They actually like, they actually compliment to each other. And there's actually a reason why he's in all these different situations. And the art and character design is so good. Yeah, I wanna talk about that with webcomics. How does every, yeah, why are they also good? Why is the art also good and why are they all colored?

Yeah, right? Yeah. That's exactly what I say in my view. I'm like, why is, is it just like a coincidence that every Marmwa that I looked up for this video just happen to have the most like godly fucking art and character design? Because I don't get that frequency in manga.

Like a lot, manga for me is like a very hit and miss sometimes. It's like, sometimes it's like, okay, the story's really fucking good, but the art is kinda eh, talking about you, attack on time. And then sometimes it's the other way around, right? It's like, man, this manga would be so fucking good if only the story was good because the art looks fucking amazing.

But for some reason every Marwa that I've read, it's always like scored on both ends of the spectrum. I don't know if it's just like my expectations of Manwa, it's just so low that anything will impress me or if it's genuinely good. There's one thing I can compliment about every manwa I've met is that the art is always fantastic and it's colored.

I mean you get, imagine getting a full colored chapter. That's like a gift from Jesus or something. Yeah, exactly. I mean, reading Jojo colored was amazing. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. And it was like fan done, I think, all the fans colored it, right?

Yeah, it's like amazing. Yeah, right? Yeah, and in the world of webcomics, this shit's just normalized. Yeah, I know, it's crazy. Yeah, because I remember reading solo leveling as well, which is on paper the most generic power fantasy show ever, and sounds like it's up your alley then.

Of course I fucking loved it. Why'd you love Power Fantasy one so much? I don't know, because, okay, I figured this- in-cell in real life. He wants to feel strong. I don't know, if I figured this out, it's because power fantasy shows, to me, are like to turn my brain off.

This is act, these shows are the ones that activates my monkey brain. Cause I was, for the longest time, I couldn't. We all have a monkey brain, of course. For like the longest time, I couldn't figure out the appeal of slice of life. Like a lot of people like slice of life. I've just never been able to get into them.

I like slice of life. Yeah. And then I realized, I think my mentality when watching these trashy, E. Sikai power fancy shit is the same, is the same kind of mindset when people have when they watch Slice of Life, which is just switch my brain off and just, you know. Just enjoy what you're watching.

Just enjoy what I'm watching. Because I, like, Power Fantasy's giving me the minimal amount of engagement. Just the minimal, just enough to activate the monkey brain, but not enough to make me think anything. Is it like, because you like the idea that it could be you in the powerful position? Is that why?

I mean, I had, the biggest compliment, yet biggest dis, you can hear. It's like, I mean, that's why I call them trash, right? Because I know they're fucking trash. But I don't watch them to engage myself in any way, shape or form. So it's not a matter of like immersing yourself. No, no, no.

Because I know how it feels to be like 15 and watching SIO and you're like, God, I wish that was me. God, I wanna be so-o-so-bad. I want to be so fucking O-P in real life. And then you realize, shit, that's kind of like in-cell. Yeah.

That's, hell of in-selling. Like, all my problems would be solved if I'm just better than everyone else. Like that's, you know what I mean? Like if they were, if they, if this is a world that relies on strength that I'm just disgustingly overpowered, it's like, well, my life will just be easy.

Yeah. No one can call me an asshole. You know, most alpha male way of thinking. Yeah, I think that's what it is though. Like, especially when you're younger and you think like, oh, my life. I wanna grow up to be like that.

Yeah, yeah, because you're like, okay, well, maybe I'm not fitting in at school. Like, yeah, I wanna be side-time. I don't fuck shit up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet he gets ass if he wants it. Yeah, no, there's, there was definitely a point in my teenagehood and I think in a lot of other people

when they were teenagers where, yeah, we watch power fantasies schools we want to be the fucking main character. I think the appeal, like, there's always, There's always still that kind of appeal. I don't think I've ever lost that. Really? I think I grew out of that. I don't know.

No. I still have that with Haremanga. Yeah. Because when I was like grow up, I thought like when I was like 15, I thought Toloveru was like a gift from God because I'm just like, bro, I wanna be Rito so fucking hard and get all these girls.

And now I read Tolliverr again, I'm just like, yeah, same. That feeling is still there, dude. It's like reading sweet guy, you know? Yeah, right? I wish that was me. Like, like, you get to see this guy, fuck a load of girls and you're like, you know,

it's like, oh, I'm feeling the power fancy I felt when I was 50, but that's not, no, it's really weird, right? That's because you're in like very long-term relationships. You're like, yes, I just want to fuck everyone out and not give a fuck. No, it's just, it's just, you gotta, go to play that question real safe voice.

Why to put me on the next? I feel like, listening. Like, you want to fuck something. other people guard you. Like Sydney's watching with eagle eyes right now, just like, oh, what's you gonna play? Just say it, God. Say it, I'm not good enough for you, God.

No, but I feel like every, like, I feel like a lot of guys never grow out of that phase when they're a teenage. There's always a little bit of teenager. Every guy has that side of a monkey brain, right? Everyone has that horny monkey brain. Yeah. And like one show I've been really enjoying recently

has been a Demon School Academy, which is power fantasy, But it takes it to another fucking level. This guy is like more OP than any other like. Is that like the white head like huge buff character? No, no, no, it's- Or is that something else? It's, yeah.

Isn't that the really shitty animated one? The tale of Gary or something? Yeah, yeah, that one. I'm fucking, no, I didn't know. No, it's like tail of like Greg or something. Like something like, it's a really white name. It's the one who fucks the ogres. Oh yeah.

It was a, I can't remember as well. It's like the tail, right, of fucking, I know exactly we were talking about what you're fucking like clip art animation. It's fucking awful. All I remember is that he has the whitest name in magic. Yeah, it's like Glenn or like Greg or something like that. Yeah, it's like that, yeah. But no.

Gary Oak. The legend of Gary Oak. But no, this guy from like Demon School Academy, he opens up the episode with him beating up a guy to death with his harpy. And you're like, this is so over the top. What? This is going, this is like the most satirical, non-saterical show I've ever. He's he's so OP that you're like,

they can't be taken this seriously, but it is like played off in the series totally seriously, but the situations themselves just feel satirical because he dies about, he's died about three times in the show now, but he's so OP that he's like, you think that killing would be enough to make me die? Oh, yes, I have seen that, yeah, I saw that meme, yeah, and I'm just like, man,

I'm enjoying the shows for like totally different reason. I'm just, monkey, my monkey brain is like clapping now. This, this is fucking fantastic. It sounds like a parody of a light novel, you know, like, if I wanted to just like fuck around and just be like, I'm gonna make the most generic, satirical, just parody of a power fantasy light novel, that would be the point.

It's like the, it's like, Kanye West of power fantasy light novels because it's like, it's just become a parody of itself. Okay, okay, I was like, I was wondering what you're going to do. You know what power anime I really enjoyed? It was the one with that fucking, I was gonna say the school,

but that doesn't help at all. The one with the, it's a magical school and he has no powers. Yeah, we were just talking about that. No, different. It's a different one. You haven't narrowed it down at all. Okay, okay, okay.

Oh, it's like, no, no, no, different. It's different. It's the one with the guns. He makes guns. He makes guns. He makes guns. Yeah, he makes guns in the show. It's like a certain magical,

not a certain magical index, it's like a certain magical high school or some fucking shit. It sounds like a, You sound like you're describing index. I'm fucking losing my mind here. It's not like you're describing, you just went from index to like fucking rail gun now.

Like, it's like fucking similar vibes to that. Is it an Issa guy? No. It's just a power fantasy. It's a guy who everyone thinks he's gonna fuck his sister in the school and he has, he makes- Again, you're not narrowing it down at all. Oh, I know the one, is it the one with like the white,

the whites and green, and super popular here. Yeah, yeah. What? You know the one I want about. I know the one you're on about. Yeah, because I see the Mahoka, I think, I think, Mahoka.

I don't know the forename. Oh yeah, the irregular high school. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I said before. You were, but no, that's on it. No, I was talking about a different one at that time. That was a harem anime.

This one is a different one about a power fantasy. What the, what were you talking about before? Not bad. I was talking about a different one. I cleaned it up being like, oh yeah, the one you were talking about before was the irregular of magic high school. When we take our next two minute break,

I'm gonna look it up. I'm frustrated now. And I'm like, okay, we're done with the regular Magic High School and you're like, I wasn't talking about a regular magic ice school before. I am now, Jerry. That's a good show. End of comment.

I just like the fact that these shows are so generic that trying to distinguish between them has become impossible to ask. So what did you like about that show? Yeah, what did you like about it? I like that the exact same show as every other show. I don't know, it was a good show. I liked it.

I did not enjoy that show because, again, as you said, it was exactly the same as every other fucking power thing. Every other fucking power fantasy. For some reason, that shows, I don't know why. It's so popular here. Yeah, I see it fucking everywhere. I don't know why. I kinda get it, because I fucking loved it.

I don't know why I loved it, but I loved it. It's so boring. I'm like, this is exactly the same as every other light novel I've right. Yeah, I've tried to justify why I like certain power fantasies or certain generic light novel adaptations more than others. And I've just given up. I'm just like, they're all trash.

I like this one. I have no idea why. And I guess I'm just trash as well. Fair enough. But like, okay, I described it the same way that's, you know, I described the appeal of light novels or how I perceive the appeal of like, of a slice of life, sorry, slice of life, yeah.

So like, why do you like slice of life? What's the appeal to you? Because to me, how people view like these power, fancy, E-Sakai, whatever shows, is how I view slice of life. To me, they're all the fucking same. No, no, they are. And I don't deny that because I've gotten a lot

of criticism in the past being like, you like slice of life? Like what? You could be doing anything else and yet you're watching the fiction of these fictional characters. And I'm just like, I think that's the part about it though, because it's like, again, when I watch an anime,

I'm thinking way too hard about it. Like, I always have to, I'm always looking at it like some kind of like, analytical, like, kind of like, okay, why do I like this show? Why do I not like this show? And Slice of Life just provides nothing, that nothing becomes a something. You know what I mean?

Like, because- This is getting philosophical. Yeah, no. It's like, I've always tried describing like this. Because there's nothing there, that, Nothing becomes something. And like that thing, because they're not doing anything, everything they do becomes entertaining.

Because there's just nothing there to begin with. Yeah, I can't do it. I can't, I can't. Maybe you should have been the monk, Joey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Shave that hair, Joey, let's go. I don't know, but I mean, maybe there's a part of me as well that like, the reason why, for example,

like I really like non-nobiety, right? Right. It was like, because it's set in like the middle of the nowhere in like the butt fuck middle of nowhere of Japan. in the mountains, right? And where I grew up, like, at my grandma's place was it looked very similar.

So I think a lot of that kind of like atmosphere is like bringing me back to like my childhood of like just being in like the middle of a rice field and just trying to find anything to do for entertainment sake, right? And just watching these characters go through that, it's just like, okay, yeah, I can relate to that. That's kind of cute and like wholesome, right?

Because like I think the only slice of life I've enjoyed ever, like pure slice of life. And I think, I can't even remember the name. It was the one with the two girls going around the post-apocalyptic world. The last tour. Is it Girls Last Tour? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, girls' last tour.

Because that's one of my favorite slices of life. Yeah, that's the only slice of life I've ever enjoyed. And I still couldn't finish it. Really? Yeah. Because I need to be in a very specific, I needed to be in such a specific mood to watch that show and be able to not fall asleep. It's one of the most quietest shows

I've ever watched. Yeah. Because a lot of the times, there's only these two girl characters and there's almost no fucking like music or like background. It's very avant-garde. It's like watching a fucking like, fucking art school, like project is like black and white and spoken in French. And it's like- The opposite of what I want.

Yeah, it looks and feels very pretentious if you don't understand like the deeper meanings behind it. Yeah, because I feel like I need the bare minimum of engagement for me to enjoy a show. Yeah, even if it's just the same kind of engagement I've seen a million times before, I will take that over, like, slice of life. When I, like, used to watch shows

without looking what they were, I would just watch a show, right? I'm like, Crunchyroll, I just click it. And then I'm watching a slice of life and I get two episodes in, I'm like, wait, nothing's gonna happen. They're not gonna do anything, are they? Why isn't that your like monkey brain

just lags for a minute? And it takes you two whole episodes. No, no, hold on. In this case, I actually agree with Gona. You get like two episodes in, you're like, wait, they're not gonna do a single thing, They're not gonna go anywhere. Because I remember my, I remember when I first watched K-on.

And like the K-on, the entirety of the K-on fandom hates me now because of that like one review that I did on K-on. Because I didn't understand the appeal of Slices' Life back then. Yeah. And I watched K-on with the same kind of expectations as I would- Like any other show. And like people have told me the appeal for K-on and I understand it now, but I can never relate to it. I still can never get that same kind of connection to a slice of life show.

That's why I don't blame anybody who says that they don't like slice of life at all. Like in any slice of life, they'll just be like, it's all boring, nothing fucking happens. I'd rather be watching like a show-in-in-in or something, like a generic show-in. I totally get that because, again, like, I don't want to say it's an acquieter taste or anything,

but I feel it is. Well, I'm gonna say the same thing about Eastside, Joey. And that's okay, man. It's good, man. I'm gonna say that about music. about music. I'm kidding. Music isn't quite a taste.

I mean, okay, if I'm gonna watch Slice of Life, I'd rather just watch like, I don't know, like real life, I guess. Like, I'd rather watch, like a documentary about something that's real. But even like a documentary, there's, I don't know, it's like a storyline, it's still engaging.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, stuff happens. I feel like the closest thing to R.L. Slice of Life is, what's that Japanese TV show? Terrace House. Have you ever seen it? Oh, fucking, I can't watch Terrace. That's like Slice of Life, IRL. Yeah, wanna watch that and I'm like,

what's the appeal? It's like, oh, you can just like watch them, do their daily things and have your thoughts about that. And I'm like, I can have my thoughts about my real life. I don't even fucking think about it. Well, it's the exact same reason why people wanted to watch Big Brother, right? They wanted to watch it like a shit show though. Like they, I feel like Terrence House is very like,

just polite. They were all just like, you know. I never watched it. I could never get into Big Brother either though. No, I couldn't know to that. I liked watching Big Brother just because the people that they had on there were just the most fucking I'm like degenerative fucking way.

That was like finally selected to get the fucking craziest people they could find. I'm like, I can't believe these are not real people. And then later I found out that the entire show scripted. I'm like, oh, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean, it's, it's, they obviously put a lot of work behind the scenes to make it entertaining. Whereas I feel with Terrace House, it's just, here are just people

living their lives and there's a camera watching them. I just don't get it. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm too monkey, boy. There was a show, I'm with you, dude, I'm with you. On this one, I'm like, I got my own life to worry about. I don't know if I can worry about people just having

an awkward conversation. I can experience that myself. There was a show that preceded Terrace House and I don't know if it's still going or not, but it's called Aynoddy. And there was a show that's kind of similar to Terrace House where, but there was like a romance element. It's essentially, think of a harum anime, IRL.

That's the only way I can describe it. So they would like, Gala, like Love Island or some shit like that. It's similar to that, but like they would get like a bunch of guys and girls, like single guys and girls, and they put them on this bus and they would take the bus and they would basically just do like an entire tour of Japan, like wherever the fuck they wanted.

But at every stop, one of the guys or the girls had to like confess basically to be like, I like you. And if they responded back positively, then the bus would leave the two there and then basically just let them, you know, or in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, sometimes it was. But it was harsher when the other person denied it

because then the person who confessed would be left there, basically on their own. And just watching like a guy or a girl get denied on that show was the most heart wrenching, yet somehow the most fucking entertaining thing that you've ever seen. Because it's just like, is he gonna, because it was like a harem anime where like,

one of the best goals is like getting prepared to like confess to the main character. And you're cheering for your girl. Come on, come on, I've seen you like go camping with this dude man. Like you gave off some good vibes. You got this girl, you got this. And then when the guy, like, no, sorry, there's another girl that I like.

And the sad music just starts playing. I'm just like, no, it's like watching your, you know, going back to the whole sports thing, right? Yeah. It's like watching the grand finals and the one team just like flobbing it at the last second, you know, just like, no, that was the game! Yeah, but I prefer that over Terrace.

Because I gave Terrace House to go. I don't know, it would seem like on paper, because I like slice of life, right? Yeah. It would seem like this is a show me for me, right? Okay, so, okay, here's how, Here's what confused is me. Do you have a favorite slice of life and how do you justify that?

I don't know, I mean, because so many shows can be defined as slice of life shows and yet they're not, right? I mean like, I don't know, I guess Lucky's style will probably be my favorite just because. It goes memes? Yeah, because of the memes, right? Because it appeals to the otaku culture, right?

And that was a huge part, like, that was like when I was like deeply rooted in an otaku culture, right? So that anime spoke to me, dude, it hit different. That was a slice of life that he hit him. So we're gonna go a whole episode. Nah, dude. No, but like, I'd say that's probably my favorite

for those reasons, yeah. Gentlemen, I found out what the show is called. It's called Trinity-7. I have watched that. I have not even watched that. I can tell you it is exactly the same. It's garbage. It's literally the same, just a bit older.

I think he can like block magic or can counter it or something. It's garbage, essentially. It was garbage. It was hot garbage. It's really bad. Okay, well, here's the question for you guys What is the worst show that you think,

like what is your guilty pleasure, I guess? If you, do you like believe in guilty pleasures? Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I, you know, I mentioned how I got my friend to watch Kiss Sis with me, right? That is hands out, dude, I own all 23 volumes of the manga as well.

Do you actually, why would you fund that shit, man? Because it's so bad yet so good. Like, it's like, it is, I have a lot of guilty pleasure shows, I like to admit, but I think the biggest for me, where I can openly be like, yeah, I know this thing sucks, but man, I can't put it down, it's definitely kiss, sis. I remember there's so many shows I like that suck,

but I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure. I'm fine with being like, yeah, I like that. So you don't believe in a guilty pleasure, or? I don't know, maybe I've just gone to the point where I don't give a fuck. Yeah, that's my point now, where I just, I just like shows. Just don't give a fuck anymore. But I guess I put some shows in different categories because it's a different kind of enjoyment,

because I would never recommend, I would never like, recommend, actively recommend some of these fucking shows that I watch. But I definitely have, some shows that I put in a like an actual good kind of enjoyment. If there is anything as like a good kind of a like, I mean, I say that Kiss Sis is my guilty pleasure, right? But I'm not fucking guilty for liking that show.

I can like whatever, it's just my pleasure. I'm not guilty, it's just my pleasure. But again, like, I just call it a guilty pleasure because I don't openly be like, have you watched QSys Slough? Like I don't openly recommend it. Unless you're my friend from high school. Unless you're friend from high school. A yaoi scene about to happen.

Yeah, exactly. But like, you know, I have lots of shows like that. Like Yosa Gondasota is another one. Right. I still need to watch that. I watched that entire thing. And I remember when D was like, because D, Rebel House, he has this series called

The Surviving Series. Yeah, yeah. Where he goes and like, basically tries to get people to watch these like absolutely hot garbage shows. And I remember he did an entire episode on Yosganosaurus and I'm just like, bro, I'm glad you didn't call me onto this show because I would have been praising the fuck

out of the show the entire time. I'm like, I know this. I know that there is some mad wincess shit going on in this show, but man, it's so good. Yeah, he never called me to go on the domestic girlfriend episode. Yeah, right? For good reason, because I still love

domestic girlfriend, it's whole garbage, the ending sucks. Would that be your guilty pleasure? I don't know, because I would say the manga for domestic girlfriend, for like 80% of the manga for domestic girlfriend, I still think it's a fucking well-written show. It's the way I describe it, like,

it's kind of like a, the soap opera, but the characters are actually well written, in my opinion, but the things that the events that happen in the soap opera are still very soap opera stuff, but the way they handle it is still very good. The anime, I feel, is that's garbage, because that, that, like, that skips over a lot of the actual character development.

And like, it, basically, the anime speed run shit, so the anime just took the trashiest moments from the manga and put it all in one package. Oh, well, then Connell all like that. It's a speed run anime. Yeah, but I like the domestic girlfriend manga ending, everyone pretty much agrees it's hot garbage and I've had time to sit in it now

and I think I actually like the ending of domestic girlfriend just because you're going through the phase that I had with school days basically, where it's just like the first time you watch it you're just like, man, this is hot garbage, but then the more you think about it, you're like, you know what, this actually might be genius. Like who, because I think the series starts

started off as a flaming dumpster fire. And it ended in like a nuclear fallout kind of dumpster. That's, that's, that's, and it was on theme. You know, it was on point. Like, who got it, who got on this, who got in this train, knowing he was about to crash and thought he was gonna parallel park? Like, you know, you know what I mean? Like we all, we all started watching domestic girlfriend

because we knew it was a fucking car crash. What were we expected? They let you know from episode one, like, literally the opening scene, you were just like, oh, this is gonna suck. This is gonna be messy. Yeah, and I think the best thing it did was trick us into, because it tricked us

into thinking it could have ended well because there was a lot of well-written moments into it in it. They tricked us. And they made us forget that it was a dumpster fire this entire time. But like, because of the way it ended, it will forever stick in my mind.

And I will, I'm gonna reread that shit someday. You tell them his grandkids about this. I will tell my fucking grandkids about the ending of domestic girlfriend. the girlfriend. Do you have one like that, Garner? No, not really. I never really like,

or do you just not even bother with like shows that- No, I feel like with, yeah, with shows normally, I tend not to, I'm trying to think, what have been some big anime that end controversially, but the people didn't know the ending of already, right, because of the manga. So it's kind of hard with anime, I feel. Yeah, I know, right.

So I mean, you're talking about anime original endings now or like original anime, which- or if it's like from like a game, like school days, all right? Like what about something like Darling and the Franks, which is the closest thing I can think. Okay, that was a fun dumpster fire to be a lot of.

Yeah. Like I feel, I feel if darling, if I watch Darling in the Franks without having been in the anime community, I would hate it. But I love the experience that it gave me. Yeah. Just like being a part of the dumpster fire.

People like threatening the voice actors. Oh my God, that shit was ridiculous. Why, why is it the first thing that happens whenever someone's like, because the same thing happened to domestic girlfriend where the author just got death threats and like people were just shit talking them on love. Like, why did you do this?

Because it's, because I guess they're just like the face of the show, right? Or the face of the problem that resides in the show. So they're just like, they don't blame the directors or the producers, because no one can see those people, right? It's always the front facing people. Is it the Japanese audiences doing that? Because I sure I didn't see any of that, like, online.

It was, like, I think it was kind of universal. Like, in the case with domestic girlfriend, a lot of it was like the, it was definitely the Asian population. I don't know if it was specifically the Japanese. I saw a lot of like Chinese, Korean users as well. The author had to actually come out and say it was like foreigners. So it wasn't people from Japan. I don't know where it was from.

Yeah, it might have been from the West. It might have been from other Asian countries. I know that at least in the West, our meme culture is pretty fucking cryptic, if you're not from. It's shrouded in a very large veil of star capital. Stuff that could look extremely aggressive to somebody doesn't understand is probably like a compliment.

Well, wasn't there that like Japanese illustrator who kept like apologizing apologizing for all the sarcastic tweets that were being made. Someone, someone, like, commented, I think I saw this. It was like, someone had replied to their post with like the emoji with the gun, like, huffing, like, keep posting. Yeah.

Like, because it's so good, right? That's what we understood it, but obviously the Japanese creator. And the reply back being like, I'm sorry, then you're like, I'm sorry, please don't point that at me. Like, they took that at face value, right? Yeah.

They took down their post because they were like, they thought they were offending people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I remember the, when Vinland saga was airing, people were sending like tweets to the author of Vinland saga, calling him like a goat, the goat. The goat.

Yeah, and the author was like, why are people calling me a goat? Am I doing bad? Have I done something bad? Yeah, that's- Memes do not translate well. No, they do not translate well. How are like Japanese memes? I've always been curious how, like,

Japanese meme culture is. I mean, you know, a lot of the, Japanese memes that make it, well, I mean, a lot of the best memes in my opinion stay on 2chan, which I think, if you know anything about 2chan, they're pretty bad. Yeah, I know that's like even worse than 4chan. Oh yeah, I mean, if 4chan, if you thought 4chan was bad,

never gone to 2chan, like, I remember one of my friends, he, like, he used to be on 4chan a lot. And then when I told them about 2chan, he's like, man, for the first time of my life, I'm glad I never took Japanese. Because if I could understand what these threads were saying, Holy shit, I would just be like, oh my God, I didn't know humans could say such horrible things to one another.

It's really fucking brutal over there, but the memes are very funny. The memes are great. And luckily, I think a lot of the best, like, probably the safest memes that start on 2chan do eventually make it on Twitter. Yeah. And man, those fucking blow up on Japanese Twitter,

like so crazily. Like, if you thought memes on like Western Twitter were like, whoa, 50,000 retweets, holy shit. Dude, I've seen Japanese memes that have like a million retweets. I'm just like fucking, I mean, yeah, it's a good meme, but God damn guys. I mean, Western Twitter is just TikTok's

re-uploaded right now. Yeah, basically. I mean, some of them are pretty good, to be fair. Not sure how long that's gonna last, though. Is this a poorly aged conversation that we're having right now? Yeah, some of them are good. Yeah, yeah.

Because I feel from what I can see with Japanese, like, social media in general, we've talked about internet hates a lot on this podcast before. And it feels like with Japan, it's either you're really nice and polite or it's like the fucking worst. And there's like no in between. Dude, there's a reason why I never wanted to start like a Japanese YouTube channel.

Cause I thought about it. When I first moved here, I was like, should I start a separate channel where I've, it's aimed towards a Japanese audience, right? It doesn't necessarily have to be anime related. I was just gonna do like just a regular like vlog style channel, but all in Japanese. And then I watched a bunch of Japanese YouTubers

because before I never really watched Japanese YouTubers and I saw their comment sections. and I'm just like, nah. I don't want that. I don't want any of that shit. Because like, man, some of the fucking, like, hate, like, some of the fucking hate movements that happened towards Japanese YouTubers are crazy.

I remember there was one Japanese YouTuber who, and on Japanese YouTubers, you fuck up once, your career is done. Because they will hold onto that shit for the rest of your career until you're gone. Because there was one Japanese YouTube. It's kind of like watched it in a little bit. Yeah, but like to a completely,

I don't know about that. I mean, people have very short memories. Yeah, how many times is like the Paul brothers fucked up and they're still getting like decent views, right? But there was this one Japanese YouTuber who didn't even do anything bad. He had a pet goldfish and the goldfish died and so he threw the goldfish like, he drained it down the toilet.

Okay, right? Really standard, right? Of course, that's what you normally do. It got so much hate that even on, at this day, and this happened like four or five years ago. I don't know about the accuracy of this, don't quote me on this, but it happened like four or five years ago,

and since then every single one of his videos have gotten a 50% dislike ratio. Damn. Just from that one thing that he did and people are still holding onto it for it. I just think they have like, they keep on to hate for like another level. And I think that's why the idol culture here must be so scary, because you fuck up once here

if you're an idol or voice actors or something and your career is just done. It's just done. They just expect perfection from you. Yeah, it definitely feels like the image that you build, they immediately are on control of it. And that if, yeah, like you said, if you fuck up once, it's like, they're almost like entitled to you.

Yeah, yeah, perfect. Yeah, pretty much. And if you ruin it, well, you ruined this thing I liked. You did that. Yeah, it's ruined this thing I enjoyed. You know, it's like, what would you mean? It's just me. Yeah, right?

It's like, it's sometimes they forget that some of these people are just humans, right? And I don't, it's kind of this mentality where they're not allowed to be human in a lot of ways. And that's what it feels. because I remember the first story I've, I ever heard like about this kind of situation happening in the anime community was probably

with Aya Hirano, like Harahee's voice actress. Like there was a scandal, like, back in a day, scandal, quote unquote. Scandal, but back in the day when she was voicing in Harrahue, she was voice in Lucky Star, she was like the triple A-less celebrity. Right, right, right, right. She was like one of the hottest names in this industry.

And I think what happened is that she had a, she had a music career as well, she had a band, and I think she slept with everyone in the band, except for the bass guitar player, which every bassist. Like a moment of silent for the bass guitar player. Davey 504 subscribers. Why is it always the bassist, man?

I don't know. But yeah, that story like got outed and her career just like went from like A plus, AAA to like she had a trouble getting a role. She completely disappeared after that. And since then she's disappeared. Since then, she's only had like a few bigger roles. I think the only last role I remember her doing

was doing Miggy from, what's that? Parasite, yeah, yeah. But I don't think I've heard her in anything else that I can remember. I feel like that would kind of happen in the West though a little bit. Yeah. Well, like an entire career getting destroyed.

No, you're not gonna try a career being destroyed, but at least fucking Twitter would be like fucking clowning. Oh yeah, but this happened way before the Twitter thing came around. Like this happened in like the mid-2000s. But like, but like, People are like, pretty fucking, like, they're like, would you mean you've slept with people? Yeah, this seems to be scary.

Yeah. It's scary, man. I don't know, would someone's career be over just because, like, can you think of a single person whose career would literally be over if they had slept with someone or if they came out to have a boyfriend or something? Because I can't. Like, you'd be, you'd be clowned on, you'd lose subscribers, you'd lose viewers, maybe. I guess you wouldn't actually lose your thing, but yeah, you would be clowned on pretty good.

I mean, the only person I can think of is, like, Pokey Main, right? Yeah, that's, like, I didn't know whether to bring that up on. But I mean, if we're talking about the most recent thing, right, but even then, like what she's getting is nowhere near as bad as what some of these, like, idols and musicians are getting. Like, if Pokemon came out today and she was like, hey, I have a boyfriend, she'd probably get less attention

than she does now, but her career wouldn't be over. No, no. She still easily have a career. Well, I think it's, I thought it was confirmed, right? It was. Yeah, I think it was. I don't know. I think the whole point was it's like, well, yeah,

of course she's human, she's gonna have a relationship, right? And not everyone needs to know that, like, it's fine. Exactly, it's her choice if she wants to hire. Yeah, exactly. But no, those sims, man, they just like, f-f, don't dare you. Dude, when YouTubers make videos,

like, where they're in, like, a one week relationship, like, we're together, it's like, oh. Yeah. I get, like, real, like, fuck you, oh. Yeah, yeah. I think like it says so much about you, like, to me, it's like, at least wait a couple of months, man. Like, try and figure out if it's like a real thing, right?

To me, it feels like, I don't know, not to be like, to say it, but it's kind of like a, like a, like, oh, I'm good to have sex for the first time. I should announce it to the world. Yeah, it is, it is our slash I had sex, right? Yeah, it kinda is like, it's, I feel like it says a lot about your maturity level to do that, I think, and it's normally,

I wouldn't associate with a YouTuber who does that. I feel like it's also just a lot of people can do it for clickbait as well. They do, they do, oh yeah, yeah. But either way, normally there's no good, like, connotation that comes along with doing that, right? There's normally no, nothing good that's coming. Sure, they're probably very happy.

I'm glad for them, but like, But like, you know, let's be honest, at our age, which most of the YouTubers are, most of the relationships fail when they're that early. Yeah, exactly. Most of them do. Yeah, it's fine if you wanna, yeah, it's fine if you wanna come out, but like,

yeah, as you said, if I watch like a coming out kind of video and it's just like, we're together now, I met her last week, I'm just like, all right, I'm counting down the days of the we broke up video, right? Be together for like a few weeks months, right? Get comfortable. Yeah.

Like in your head, why would you not be, like, feel like you're secure before you make this video. It's like do you introduce this girl to your parents a week after you just start dating? Probably not, you know? Like she was probably introducing it to their audience before their parents. It's like, bro, bro, bro, bro,

backwards, backwards, come on. Come on. Cause I know Aki and I waited about three months. Yeah, you probably felt pretty comfortable. Yeah, because we wanted to enjoy our time together just like privately. And we did and then we were like, okay, you know, now if we want to actually do more stuff now,

you know, instead of like hiding about it, then I think now we want to actually do more stuff now, then I think now was the right time. Like we're comfortable now. Especially in your position, it's kind of forced to tell people. Yeah, exactly. You're gonna be together.

I can't hide that shit right. Yeah, when both of you are like posting constantly and yeah, both of you are together in a lot of pictures. Yeah, exactly. People are gonna connect the dots. Like, oh, is she just going to go hang out with him? Is that how it is really? No.

But yeah, both you're in YouTuber relationships was normally, you know, the landmine waiting to just go off. Yeah. I, I, I mean, normally, you guys are in the clear now, I feel like you've got to the stage where it's like, it's mega serious, go, yeah,

yeah, yeah, get out of my sight. Yeah, fucking sims. I'm fucking tired of these fucking happy people around me. But like, when you're like, do, especially at my size now, I'd be like, I'd be way too scared to date another YouTuber, that's like. No, I mean, I get that. I mean, for me with Sydney, it's kind of like,

It's kind of a bit different, yeah, because she, I mean, she has been on YouTube for a very long time, but I wouldn't really call her like a YouTuber where she does this as a job. She's like kind of grown pretty recently. True, she wasn't really a YouTuber way. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, makes sense. Yeah, and I mean, we started dating when I wasn't,

this was before I came back to do YouTube full time anyway, so we've been dating for like a very long time, like a good five, six years. But yeah, I remember seeing your video, like was it nerve-wracking for you guys coming out to be like, hey, we're a YouTube? Yeah, definitely. What was the reaction like?

I mean, the reaction was mostly really, really positive. Thank God. But I remember, I remember Aki losing a very significant portion of a male audience and I lost a very significant portion of my female audience. So we were like, what kind of numbers are we talking about? Like, I probably, I don't know, for like, when before we came out, I think I had,

I think I had like a 60-40 female to male ratio. Right. Which I was like, wow. I thought more males would be in Zling. But then the moment I came out, I think that dropped by like 10, 15%, at least. It was a really significant number. And same thing with Aki as well,

it's about at least a 10, 15% drop. But we kind of expected that. Yeah. Because we had been to conventions enough times and we saw like- People were speculating a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We saw a lot of people were speculating, right?

I think I remember watching your like AX vlog and then people had saw that you had like a hickey. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, it was Joey. Sorry getting it on here. Yeah. We're not proud of that, too, man. I knew Aki Polly went at home was like,

God damn it, Jerry, you left that. Yeah, we're no proud of that. That's all right. That's all right. We were young, we were young. Yeah, he's like, it's whatever. It's cute, man, it's whatever. It's cute, man, it's cute when we look back on it.

It's fine, but, yeah, it must have been stressful back then where people were just speculating every, like, like, enhanced, enhance, enhance, and Hansi people. The Hickie or a Bruce. Get the blue light out. We need to know. Check for fingerprints. Someone's in that dark room, checking the hard.

Yeah, I don't know, but like, I think it was nerve-wracking for the both of us because it was the first time that we'd ever had to make a video like that. And we knew we had to make a video like that, right? Eventually, we weren't gonna hide it for the rest of our career, right? So, I think it was stressful at the time, and you can see it in our coming out videos

that we're very, like, you know, nervous and like, ha ha, yeah, we're kind of together now kind of thing, but at the same time, like, after that video went out, I was just like, oh, thank you. God, now I don't have to fucking hide about the fact that I have a girlfriend now. Yeah, a lot of support. Oh yeah, there was a lot of support.

I had a lot of fucking, like, YouTubers approached me who had never spoken to me. I remember Garn fucking tweeted out. This was, I think, our first interaction since that time we thought we hated each other. Yeah, it was the first interaction, like, it was the first interaction on Twitter where like, Garland was like,

congrats to Anime Man, Archiduris for getting together and I was just like, oh my God. Yeah, I'm just like, oh my God, he doesn't hate me. I think you likes me guys. No, I had a lot of antitubers tweet at us. Yeah. Being like, yeah, the two biggest antitubers are together

and blah, it was like a really big deal. I'm like, it's not that big a deal, guys. We're just getting together. It's all good, but no, we were really happy about it because again, like we were a little bit worried about like maybe there might be some kind of hidden, you know, thing that would put us in some kind of a negative light, but it all came out really fine.

Because I remember watching that video and I remember thinking, man, they, I think they definitely approached us right way because everyone knew if you were dating, this was something that you would have to address sooner or later. Yeah, of course. You're both big personalities on the platform.

Yeah. I think you definitely went about it the right way. And I remember just wanting to congratulate you because I know the trouble was going through a long-distance relationship as well. Oh yeah, yeah. Man, that shit's tough. Yeah, you know. Tell me about it.

We were in long distance for two and a half years, man. Yeah, I don't know. My monkey brain can't handle it. Yeah. Yeah, because I was long distance with Sydney for like a good year or something. And that was like one of the hardest years of my life. When you were like still single online,

did you get messages, people like, would you ever do long, long distance? Yeah, you know what the... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, you know, how long though, like, you know? Are you available for a long distance? Like, what kind of time zone difference is okay? I'm like, I'm like, just fucking say it.

Just, yeah, like, what do you expect me to say? It's like, if it's less than eight hours, then it's doable. It's doable, but any more than that, bro. That is like, like, if I ever, like, when I used to live stream doing like, you know, I'm just doing Sebastian stuff, the most common thing that I would often get is like, is a, yeah, long distance.

What's your thoughts on that, Connor? Your thoughts on that, are you dating anyone, by the way? Yeah, they don't just say it. They're just like, are you perhaps considering the possibility? Yeah, or they'll say, what's your ideal partner like? Just, just, just, just, I got that a lot. I got that a lot when I was doing panel.

I'm not trying to say that I'm like a gig of chat and everyone just can't help themselves, but you know, you just get people who like, I mean, I think you can say that as the 93% right, like, you can say that. I mean, you can say that. Okay, when there's thousands of subscribers, there's gonna be like one or two of them

that are interested in you. Yeah, yeah. That are gonna try and, you know, see what ways they can pursue that. Yeah, yeah. From a formally written email, which is many times. or they'll do a not so subtle donation.

What is the logistics of us putting up together in this long distance relationship? What I gotta do is I gotta, some episode, I ended up in a presentation of all the different ways people have tried to hit on. Like I gotta, please. Like it's a PowerPoint presentation. The most interesting ways it's happened.

Top 10. I'm not trying to do any, I'm just trying to say, it's really fucking interesting, the way that people try to like get in there. Top 10 confessions in anime. No, dude, it's so it's, it's, It's so interesting when you realize it the way, because there's like routes in their mind,

like, I'm gonna go like, okay, I'm gonna direct route the curveball around. Okay, I'm gonna- It's like a fucking visual novel. There's like levels of difficulty, there's like YouTube comment, impossible for him to educate me to like-level 99. To like donate $10,000 so he cannot ignore me.

Like it's like, and there's so many in between, it's so funny. Oh yeah, I mean if you guys are interested in that, let's know down below if you wanna hear the power. I'll actually be, I'm interested. I will legit. Yep, we're gonna put a PowerPoint presentation. Yeah, we're gonna put the screen for something, right?

I'll do it, I'll do it. Oh my God. I'm just trying to think of like, what's a weird thing that a lot of people do on YouTube? Like, yeah, just weird, weird stuff they might say often that I'm trying to think. Well, like the whole thing of like, there's always that one comment in every video

which is like, Joe's not gonna see this. He's not gonna reply, just because I'm first in the comments section. And then, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I like, and I'm tempted to comment to prove them wrong, and I'm like, no, I'm gonna fall into the back.

You almost got me there. I'm like, you know, no, you are right. I'm not gonna see this. Fuck you, fuck you for thinking you're entitled to my time. I'm gonna sell like an asshole. Actually, what I like to do to those comments is like, I just, I don't even heart it, I just like it. So that the only one that knows is like that person.

And usually you're probably about being like, oh my God, Joey, like my comment. And everyone's like, no, you did it. Because there's no way to prove it. There's no way to fucking prove it. But they get the notification being like, the anime man liked your comment, but like, oh my God. I don't know if it's like, I'm so mean.

I don't know if it's because I've been getting like growing a bunch, but I just noticed more a bunch of nonsensical comments on my videos. Like comments just don't relate to it more. Like just people being like, yeah, I'm tired. And it's like, why are you starting the shit on a mind void, right? There's always ones as well that are like relating

to other commenters. They're like, oh, I see that the guy with the mustache is not in the comments section. Yeah. Do you ever get commenters that just have a foot on fucking conversation with each other in your comments? Yeah, it turns into a forums around.

I'm like, damn, this video is 10,000 comments and you look down and like 5,000 of them are just like, so how are you been? I'm all right, hell yeah. Having like an MSN messenger chat or fucking Skype chat. I'm like, you do realize this is what we have a discord for, right? So that you can do that there.

I saw one, it was this dude having like a fucking mental breakdown arguing with this person being like, you're fucking wrong, you don't understand the nuances and someone applied, are you okay? And the guy replied like, honestly, no, not really. I'm glad that someone finally

I was like, what am I reading? It's like a therapy session happening in the comments. I've seen those exact same comments as well. It's like, bro, you okay? It's like, honestly, no. And I'm glad somebody finally asked. I'm not okay. And it's like, what the fuck am I reading?

How did this happen? How did we get here? And I guarantee as well, the person who originally commented the U.S. just in there like, oh fuck, now I have to like, now I have to like coach them through this, like. Or like when they're like, whoa, that's a really reference to X Timmy Minecrafts and it's like,

what the fuck is that? Like people will comment be like, oh this is a reference to game grumps. And I'm like, they've had so many episodes, they probably set the whole fucking English language. They don't even like give the reference like where it is, right? No, I don't know who this person is that you're telling me I'm referencing.

Yeah, it's like, bro, this is, this video is just a copy of Minecraft Player 69. I'm just, and I'm just like, who? And then I look up the channel and they have like 12 subscribers. I'm just like, what, how the fuck am I supposed to know? I'm having a two viewed video, like you copied them. It's like, what do you mean I copied them? No one could have copied them if they wanted to

because nobody saw them. It's so mean. It's so true though because I think I, this is the first time I'm hearing that I thought I was the only person who got those comments, referencing this random video or this random YouTuber that I've had, that I have never seen before. And apparently, you know, you're just copying their joke.

You made exactly the same joke, maybe? I don't fucking know. The internet is massive. People are gonna make the same joke. It's gonna happen. You know what type of comment I finally just want to see gone? It's the fucking nobody, literally nobody.

Joey, it's like, I'm just letting you know guys right now. None of them are funny. I'm just saying that. None of them are funny. None of them are unique. Sometimes a chuckle. Sometimes. It's like one out of like a thousand maybe.

There are some videos where the comments are just fucking gold. Oh, yeah. And but most, most of the times comments are just like this big circle jerk It's the same type of comment that gets upboated every time. And it's like the funniest comments in my videos are always the ones that have zero likes. And I'm just like, why does this not have any likes? It's always the ones I heart as well

because I'm just like, here you go, guys, this is a funny comment. Look, learn from this comment. None of you guys are like this comment. I'll like it because this is some funny shit that you guys should be tweeting more. Not the fucking literally, literally nobody, Joey. Ugh!

I'm like, do they have just like, like a copy pasta ready for these comments. It's just be like immediately be like, yep, thrown in. A semi-awkward moment or a funny moment, like, alright, that's it, that's it. Yeah, that's the one. That's the thing that literally nobody does. Yeah, that's it, that's the one.

Do you guys remember the era of YouTube comments before they like ranked them? And it was just like, it was just a free-for-all. Yeah, it was just a free-for-all. That was when YouTube was a fucking cesspool, man. Oh, yeah, yeah. At least now it's like somewhat organized and it's just basically become Reddit in a way.

Oh, yeah. But it's better than it's better than it used to be. I think though, like the funniest comments I always see are like the, at least with this year, right? It was all the comments on the fucking Rosen Big Ed episodes. Like that comment section,

I've never laughed that hard reading a comment section. Oh, from the 90 day fiancee. 90 day fiance episodes, like the clips, because it's some of the meanest comments that I've ever seen, but at the same time, it is so funny. I realize watching reality TV shows like 90 day fiancee are so less fun

when you can't read a comment section. Oh yeah, yeah. Because like I tried watching the show normally like a different season and it was just not fun because every time something really obnoxious happened or one of them said something really like just stupid. I wanted to immediately go down to the comments and see it.

Oh, that's it right? Because you know when you're watching a YouTube video and something happens, you're like, I'm over the comment section. I want to see people talking about this. I miss that I don't get that when I watched 90 day fiancee normally. Yeah.

What I wanna experience is what it would be like if you had like whole anime episodes uploaded on YouTube with comments section. Yeah, what would a comment section B like, right? Well, you have Crunchyall, but Crunchyall's comment is like garbage. Yeah, I mean, that doesn't work because not,

like, who the fuck leaves a comment on the Cruncher web video? You know what I mean? Who does that? Who are you? Why are you leaving comments on a Cruncher episode? People giving their like, their like 48 hour passes as well.

Yeah, it's just like workers at Crunchroll. Being like, we gotta fill this comment section up, guys. Most of the comments are just like the gift passes. And then there's people that actually comment on the episodes and I'm just thinking, man, But it's so like non-subs, it's like very good episode. Smiley face.

I think I'm a mentor girlfriend in episode one who the comment was, God, this is the trash-ish show this season, I'll see you all next week. I thought that was a good comment, but that's the only- That sounds like a YouTube comment though, right? Yeah, I mean, that's what I want. I want YouTube comments and- Yeah. There's something though about YouTube comments

that just, I don't want to say it, but... He's gonna say it, he's gonna say it. You're gonna say it. Is that you're gonna say it? I was trying to, I was going through my, like, thesaurus in my head And it's just being like, okay, what's another word for hit? And what's another word for different?

It impacts different. It impacts, yeah, different. Because Reddit, like, I can't stand Reddit discussions. Like, they're the most, like, I'm smarter than you discussions always. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. At least on YouTube, everyone knows they're an ape. You know what I mean?

Like, no one tries to, like. Yeah, Reddit comments are the epitomeome of, um, actually. I love Reddit, but I hate looking past the meme. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, I've consumed. Sometimes, sometimes you'll see some funny stuff on Reddit, If there's ever like a comment thread that's a discussion,

it's like the biggest fucking mind field I've ever seen. Just a bunch of people who wanna validate their like intelligence and it's just so sad and I can't read it. It's just pathetic half the time. Sometimes there's really good threads with really solid advice but most of the time, especially when it's like the argument freds like change my opinion or any of those.

Or am I the asshole? It's like, fuck me. It's like, I don't care. I can't read this. Everyone posts to those subreddit It's like, am I the asshole? Everyone who posts that subreddit knows they're not the asshole,

except for like that one dude, that one dad who deleted his kid's Minecraft. Of course you're the asshole. What did you think you were the app? Yeah, so as a punishment, this one dad on Reddit apparently thought it was a good idea because his kid wasn't doing work. He deleted his kid's Minecraft

and all the stuff that he built in it. Right, right. He went to Reddit being like, am I the asshole because I deleted my kid's Minecraft account and all the stuff he'd built? And everyone was like, yes, of course you are. That kid worked hard on that stuff. You of course you're the asshole.

And it was on like Twitter and everything, that shit blew up. It was so bad. Yeah, that's like, you know, your kid, like building like an actual house, right? Like from the ground up and then it's like, no, I don't like the way you made that room. It just blows up the house.

Let's start again. It's like 90% of Reddit is like very self-serving and there's like 10% that's like a dumpstify that you're like, I wanna watch. Oh yeah. I mean, I like, I enjoy Reddit for the memes. Like the like- memes are great. Yeah.

The memes are great and whenever, whenever there's like a good meme threads or something, that's where I enjoy Reddit. I mean, that's why I like, our subreddit. Yeah, that's why I'm like our subreddit. Right, it's just all memes. So Reddit.com slash ar slash trash taste.

You see that segue voice? My Reddit name is literally I came for memes. That's literally my Reddit. People don't believe you that that's you. That is me. I saw a thread on Reddit being like, who is this mod? Like where's Connor? Like who is this I came for memes guy?

And everyone's like, that's Connor. And everyone's like, all the new people are like, no, that's not him. I'm looking for Sea Dog VA. Where is it? I'm, because I literally, only made the account so I could upvote the memes I liked. So I, I mean, that's what I mean, luckily our subreddit is for memes.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's the best part of Reddit. Like I feel like when Reddit takes itself too seriously, it's just re-grating. I don't know if you guys feel the same way. No, I agree, I agree. Everywhere over the internet, because it's the same thing with Twitter as well. And the only difference with some Reddit threads

and Twitter threads I see is Twitter has an avatar behind it. And that's basically the same kind of toxicity, I think. I think it's the discussions that they have on Reddit are ones that I always, only feel can be like constructive in person with someone. Yeah, yeah, having like every argument over the internet. Yeah. Which is why, you know, you ever have an argument

with someone, you're like, let's just call. I don't wanna fucking text you. Because you know that shit don't go anywhere. Yeah, it's, my thumbs are tired. Yeah, yeah, like bro, you wrote a paragraph. I'm not reading that fucking shit. Come on, get on call. Okay, here's a question for you.

Have you ever, have you guys ever had like the comments or like a comment on your YouTube or like someone saying something on Twitter that you know you can fucking destroy slam dunk them in an argument. But it's equally as annoying because you want to and you know you can, but there's too many of these types of comments to like address them all.

Oh yeah, yeah. And if you say, if you address one, then you start just opening like Pandora's box or whatever. I've done that, I've been on both sides of that, just being like, okay, I see this dumb-ass comment. I'm just like, okay, I can't say anything. It's a lot of restraint. Like I control yourself like Zen, Zen mine right now

with this like, don't get tilted. Yeah. Just keep it in yourself, like at least like go to your IRL friends and bitch about it to them, all, all, and then sometimes I just look at, I'm like, nah, this kid is small brain as fuck, I gotta put him in his position. And I just retweet, I quote retweeping, like, look at this clown.

Oh, I feel like the amount of restraint it takes is like just stopping your piss midstream. It's like, the bottle's getting full, don't let it overflow. Okay, I don't need this, I don't need this in my doing. I'm okay, like I don't need to engage with this. Like you're a fucking idiot. It's like the first day of going vegetarian,

you go to like a steakhouse, right? It's like, no, I can do this, I can do this please. I just like, sometimes if they comment saying, Dama, I'll just, I'll give them a heart. I'm like, I want everyone to see how stupid you are. I'm not gonna engage you, but I'm gonna push this to the top. Just so if I can see how stupid this car was.

And it's like that one out of million time when you do acknowledge it or reply. It's always, they're always like the surprise, they're ready, they're ready. No, they're always like the surprise Pikachu face. They're like, oh, I can't believe he saw, Oh my comment, what? I was talking shit and he replied to me.

It's like, what? That only applies on Twitter though. It's like how many situations can you go in IRL where you absolutely slam dunk someone and then they reply with a pog face, right? It's just like, oh, do you see that? He just completely dug me, I'm so happy.

Which is, which is, I don't know, I understand the mentality where if you say something on Twitter or on social media to like a big creator or platform, like you don't expect them to ever see it. But I think you'd be surprised about, how many comments that we do actually end up seeing. Most of them we just, you know, we just keep scrolling, but we some of the comments do actually stick out to us,

especially, especially the ones where are like, it's like really criticizing or really grating or one of those ones. I had the thing that happened, maybe like a few months ago, and it was the first time this ever happened to me. And this one annoyed me more than anything. Like they weren't shitting on me, or they were, they were shitting on me.

But it was someone else tweeting about how they really enjoyed one of my videos, and then someone was shitting on for enjoying my video. For some reason that really pissed me up. Yeah, I was like, bro, you can shit on me, but like, why you gotta shit on someone else for enjoying? Yeah, right?

Like, what's wrong with you, man? And yeah, that was just a mess. So did you reply to that? I replied being like, yo, dude, I mean, it's cool if you don't like me, but why you gotta shit on someone else? Yeah, yeah, just leave them alone. Yeah, yeah, and then they were,

they just kept like antagonizing, and I was just like, fuck it, I'm not, I'm gonna do them with this. I think the one comments that, like, still angers me to this day. I realize we've talked about a lot of hate comments on this point. We're very tilted man, as you can say.

No, because it's the comments that stick out to us, right? But I think the one that sticks out to me the most, and I probably won't ever forget, is when I got engaged, when I proposed to Sydney, like I don't really talk about my personal life too much my Twitter because I like to keep that separate from like me talking about anime titty-titty and about it was like the one,

one of the few times that I actually let out my personal life to the public just because I wanted to show the entire fucking world. It's a very important time of your life. How happy I was, right? Yeah, of course. And how this was one of the most happiest moments

of my life, and I wanted to share that. Of course. And I remember, like, me and Sydney are very close. I'm glad that I can make jokes with Sydney in like some of like the most crucial moments in my life. And like, when I proposed I was like, man, you're my wife, but I still can have my wifu, Senja Kara still my number one.

And that was just a funny joke. Yeah, of course. Like, that's just the kind of relationship I have. I'm glad. I'm with someone who I can joke around with like that. But and so Sydney placed that joke and somebody like quote, they didn't even like quote retweets that one. They just, they screenshot it.

Right, right. Oh, that's the worst. Yeah, they, it's like at least give me like some fucking credit. Yeah, exactly. They think they think they're not gonna, they think you can't fucking see it if they screenshot it. Yeah, yeah. Because there's nothing that leads it back to them.

Yeah, yeah. But they screenshot it and be, and they posted it on their personal Twitter and was like, woman, you, You should have better standards for your men. Don't let your man get away with this kind of shit. And I'm like, you know nothing about my relationship with Sydney. Right? That is the biggest I know more about your life

than you do in my comment, right? Like they were judging me because I was making this joke, which some girls won't be happy with. And if you're not happy with that kind of joke, that's completely fair. Don't be with that kind of person. Really simple, right? Exactly.

I was with someone I could trust to make that joke. But then Sydney actually like, commenting on it, like she quite reached with it and commenting on it. And the reaction they made was just such a like, like, why you like this? You know what I mean? Because they, when she replied,

when she replied, she was like, I can't believe they've actually outed me. Like they've just sent all their followers to me. I'm like getting cyber bullied right now. And you're like, what do you expect if you talk shit online and you can't take it back? Like how do you feel? I love people who do that because it's always,

it's usually like young guys or girls, in their teens, obviously, right? And they just expect, like, how do they not understand the concept of, if you're prepared to give shit, you better be prepared to take shit. Yeah, exactly. It's like, you're talking shit about someone.

Do you expect them to just not fight back? Like, why are you acting like the victim here? Yeah, like, why? Where you're here judging my personal life. And suddenly- They have more followers than me. I'm like, I don't give a shit, dude. Like, you shit talk me, I'm gonna smack you right back.

You better be prepared for that. And if you're not, then don't say it in the first place. Leave it, keep it to yourself. If you're gonna smack talk and then you're gonna cry about being called out, it's like, why was you? That's the equivalent of like you going up to someone smacking them in the face, and then they smack you back and you start crying.

It's like, what? You smack me first. I should be the one crying, not you. What are you crying about? Yeah, basically how to act on the internet, it's just like, don't act the way, don't act any differently than you would in real life. Honestly.

Just be real life, yeah. Not that you guys need to know that, because you're trash taste listeners. Yeah, the best taste. Exactly. Rule number one, just don't be a dick in. Right? That's really simple.

Don't act like Subaru from ReZero in your life and you should be fine. Oh my God. Wait, what'd you mean? Wait, what do you mean? Dude, in season one he was an asshole, man. I mean, was he though? Dude, when he like confessed in front of like the whole,

like grand court, when she told him not to, I was like, what are you doing, man? She told you not to do that. I wouldn't call, this isn't your time to shine. I wouldn't call him an asshole. as much as I would just call him a clown. I think he was an asshole.

You do? Yeah, I thought he wasn't first season. I mean, either way, it's not very good. You're either a clown or an asshole. Either way, he wasn't doing himself any favors. But season two, he looks like he's turned himself around, which I'm glad. Don't be like season one Subaru is what we're saying, right?

Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, season two, I've been very much enjoying his character development. Yeah, I'm glad that he's finally learning not to be an in-sell. Every, every Eastside protagonist, right? Wow, being in-sell is bad, well, that's a revelation. That's a revelation. I should think of women as not an item.

Yeah. Oh man, I think that's probably a good place to end it. Yeah, that is, yeah, yeah. Thank you to all the patrons, lovely, lovely patrons that you see on the screen right now for supporting the show. And if you'd like to, then make sure to go to patreon.com slash trash taste.
