Hello and welcome to another episode of Trash Taste. We are the boys and we have the girls with us as well. No, the thoughts. We have the thoughts with us. Stop calling them that, Joey. Excuse me. Have you not seen season two of rent a girlfriend?

My favorite anime of all time? We're an embarrassment to like grown men. You know like every other popular podcast is like Chad's talking about shit and then we're just like, we're just like fucking losers. We argued about oranges. And then now we have this shit.

What is this shit? I don't even know what this card game is. Put it away. We're not even sponsored by them. All right, all right. Why are you doing free advertisement? Yeah. Someone gave it to us as a free game.

Someone, someone, no, don't say us. They gave it to you. Someone like, Okay, they gave us two cards, okay. Someone at a convention lined up, spent all of their time lining up, just so they can give us this gift and you're throwing it away. Come on, guys, come on. Yeah.

Oh, the connor did. Wow, that perfectly landed on the stairs. I knew that was going to happen. That's why I threw it. Nice, nice. Anyway, how are you guys doing? How are you guys doing? It's been a long week.

Re-aclaclimate to Japan yet? Yeah, I have. Not to the weather. What do you even reaclimate? Define reaclimate. To redefine that word Being able to talk on it That's one of the things

I was I had to react Reaclacl- I'll say it for you Reaclimate Yeah Reaclimate I had to reaclimate

Fuck Fuck Fuck I think it was leaving Japan That was much harder Because I don't have a bidet Now I have a bidet So now it feels like

That's good It feels like all the chaos In the world is Gone And now I've returned Finally back to our first war country Yeah Yeah yeah

It's like the little things That sometimes you just like You build up a habit and then you remember that you move countries and that habit isn't the same everywhere. Like for me, it's gotten, it's weird now after how much we've complained about it. Now coming back to Japan, I'm like,

oh, I have to bring a mask everywhere again. That's something that I've had to reacclimate to being in Japanese culture. I wish we didn't have to reacclimate until it because Jesus Christ, wearing a mask already sucks for someone who has facial hair and now that plus the 97% humidity. Like every time I take my mask off, my face is just wet. Like I have fucking rabies or something.

It's just like salivating. Well, I don't know who said. I might have been the government. I coach making shit up. As you do. Yeah. You can, you can, you don't have to wear masks outside.

Yeah, yeah. It's too damn hot. Technically, yeah. So the Japanese government really, when was that? Like back in like June, I think. Like the start of the rainy season, the Japanese government was like,

yeah, so this summer's going to get pretty fucking excruciating. So as long as you're not in a confined space, you can, and we allow the Japanese government officially allow. We allow it. I'll allow it for you to take your mask off just so you guys, you know, won't have to suffer. Yeah. And Japanese people are like, oh good, permission.

Yeah. But now they're just like, they don't do it. They don't, who's the first one to do it? I do it. I do it, but that's because I have facial hair and it makes it like a moist shower and I'm like, I'm not fucking doing this. But now it's like, even though the Japanese government was like, you guys can take, don't worry,

you guys can take you from masks. They're like, all right. Yeah, yeah. No one, you're gonna do you. You're gonna do it? You gonna do it. No one does it. And everyone has just like,

if you have facial hair, you just have fucking swamp chin like the entire time, you know. And it was so weird, because I remember flying out of Japan, I remember going to the UK and being like, man, it feels naked without my mask on. Yeah, and all it took-

It feels wrong. Yeah, yeah, it did, it did. It, it, it, I, after two years of COVID, it actually just felt like you had nothing on. Yeah. Because it just felt so uncomfortable. And then it took- Like I'm wearing nothing at all.

Yes. It's like wearing nothing at all. But like, after about like, I think it was like two weeks or something. I was like, oh, this is, I can breathe. I forgot this one life used to be like. I forgot this feeling of just being able to breathe and coming back to Japan.

And even now, just like finding out that the government allows people to not wear masks, no one has the balls to not do it anymore. Or even like Uber Eats drivers wearing like five layers for some reason they're still wearing masks while they're cycling. I'm like, this is like, I saw a dude, giant assyubriets backpack,

like comically large. They don't know what people were ordering, massive amounts. And then he was wearing like a full on like jeans, a t-shirt and then a coat over it while delivering with a mask on. I don't know. And I was like, what the fuck is happening? I don't understand how people survive the winter here.

Like if you have to fucking double up in this heat, like what do you like below 10 degrees? In the summer? No, no. Like how do you survive the winter? Oh, okay. In the summer. The two's wrong at the Goku drip jacket.

Like, unironically. Like on the bun. Yeah, yeah. I see everyone. Like, I think I feel really weird because I'm, the only one in my fucking train station wearing shorts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, am I, am I the slut for showing my knees?

Like, they just, they just prioritize drip over everything. Yeah, they're like that. But it's not even drip because everyone dresses the same. It's that, that's how drip mindset is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Drip is being the same as everyone else. Yeah, sure, sure. But because, like, because I don't think they figured out how to wear shorts,

because, um, because I think like wearing shorts to them is like anti-drip. And you can't have anti-drip on. You need to have, like, the base level of drip on. That's you think that you do not see people. wearing shorts. Yeah. It's so rare. And I feel really weird for being the only one wearing shorts. And I'm just like, but I, because like, I physically can't, I don't know, maybe, are they afraid of shin hair or something? Like, like what? Like what? They don't know. They'll see your, your slutty ankles. Yeah, right? Yeah. Like, sorry I have some slutty knees. Too much skin. Yeah. Except for school girls in the

winter where it could be like minus 20 and they somehow just wear short skirts without any like stockings or leggings or anything like that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't get it. There are two types of people. There are two types of drip. Yeah. Is it drip to wear short things in the winter? Is that how well- you can never look like amazing

unless you're like a Calvin Klein model wearing shorts. You just look, you just look like you're scuffed, I think. I think there's no way of looking good in shorts if you're like your body is a normal body. That's true. That's like you know, you just don't, you look less attractive than wearing pants. It's the fact.

Yeah, yeah. I agree. Like it's, it's also that, You can look good in shorts, but it's only one outfit, you know? And you have to somehow, like, stretch this one outfit for the entire season of summer. I just thought about the guy who did the thing you pose. You know how to do it too. Yeah, you know, he's true.

Okay. He looks too. He's got drip. It can work. He's got the right shirt on. You need a nice, like a button down to compliment the shorts, but I just don't. I'm rocking tuit. That's why I'm always wearing button downs, dude.

Like, look, you know, I am a man of drip myself, but sometimes, you know what, if I have to prioritize between drip and my balls being as hot as an active volcano, then I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna prioritize the shorts. I'm gonna prioritize comfort. Because for me, I try to, you know, keep aware about what I wear most of the time. So I look for some reason when I wear shorts, all of that goes out the window. I'm like, I don't care how I look. I'm looking for like some nice breeze where I need fucking breeze on my legs. I don't care how I look. I probably look like a fucking clown. I don't know why. Yeah, I'm wearing. Yeah, Joey's the anyone wearing shorts. I'm gene gang in it today. I don't know how the fuck you guys are wearing jeans.

It's not that hot today. Well, okay, here's the strand, right? So when I go outside, I go outside for one second, get inside to go on, to get transport to then come here and then I'm outside for one more second, then I'm back inside with AC. Yeah, it's probably. Yeah, it's like a Navy. Yeah, it's like a Navy Seals operation. If I know exactly where I'm going, I know where all like, I know where the cool spots are. I know what I know I try to minimize the amount of time in the direct sunlight and direct heat as much as possible. It's like going from one air, condition spots to the other. Sure. But it's like, yeah, no, but you are right about the whole thing of like, unless you're a fucking supermodel, no one looks good in shorts because I don't know why.

For some reason, every, every time I wear shorts, I feel like a 14 year old child. I don't understand why it is just like, you know, even if I might be wearing like a really nice shirt and it's like, you know, my hair's nice today or whatever. And I feel like I'm looking good. The moment I look anywhere below and I just see my bare knees, I'm just like, why do I look like a child? And I hate it because I love shorts. They're so comfortable. They are. I'm like, why are my legs so fucking ugly?

You know, like, why are my bare legs so ugly? Why, like, it is? I was like, damn, did I have this much hair on my shins? Like, by default, legs are the ugliest part of the male body. Unless you do work out, like a shit time. Yeah. Like, they just look like, like skeletal or like chubby. It's just like it just looks weird.

Yeah. I don't know. Because another thing you have to be aware of is like the length of your sock as well. Because there's nothing that looks more awkward than someone wearing really short shorts. and then they just forgot that they had really long socks on. So it just looks unnatural, right? That's where the struggle comes in

because I've replaced almost all my socks with the family mart long socks. Oh, bro. Right. So like I either have to like push the long socks down towards my ankle. Did you do that? Yeah, or I just have to borrow Aki's like short socks,

which I'm currently doing right now. Yeah, and also the type of shoes. They aren't too small? No, no, they fit. Oh, they do look quite girly. Yeah. Because they are. It works.

Yeah, it was. I should honestly replace all my, I've got that problem now where I've slowly replaced socks and boxes over the course of like two, three years. So now I've just got a bunch of mismatching boxes and socks wear like, mismatching boxes.

How'd you mismatch boxes? Well, if you're in an ideal world, every single pair of boxes I own would look the same. Oh. Oh, I've never got to that point. That's what I would want. What? Because, right?

I hate, I don't, why does it matter what your boxes look like? This is literally fucking American psychics. You know, you like, you open the drawer, all the socks look the same, all the boxes look the same, you open a closet. Just another Thursday. Okay, so let me to explain.

So right now, I'm sure you experienced this, right? I have like, I wanna say four different types of boxes. Okay. Right, so this is just, I picked them up or maybe I bought another pair, but it was different. And like, in my head, I have like a soft ranking of like which ones are the most comfortable, which one I'll go for. You know what I mean?

Do you have this where you like, you know which pair of boxes you like to wear the most? I, that's, surely there's gonna be like, what, if not, because in my head, if they're not comfortable, then I'm just gonna throw it out. No, no, no, no, I'm not saying, okay, maybe one of the pairs are not that comfortable. I should throw them out.

Yeah. But the other three are all comfortable, but certain ones are more, more comfortable, more luxurious maybe. Well, yeah, maybe because they're newer. And then, yeah, yeah, the newer ones are more comfortable. So it comes in terms of the time you've spent using the box. Yeah, right?

I have a pair of boxes that I got from one of our sponsors ages ago, and they're by far my favorite, ones. Yeah. And I only have two of them because we got them for free and I don't want to buy any more. So I'd rather just replace them. But they're really nice. They are comfy. You know the ones. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're really nice. And I'm like, ah, I like, I like, I like, I like, I like, do sports or something, they're good as well. And they wash really easily. And I wash them like a billion times and they're great. So I, like, I want to wear those

ones. But then I'm like, man, should I just get rid of all of them? But that feels so wasteful, but I want to get them all uniform. And it's even worse with socks, bro. My socks game is wilding. Yeah. I have like eight different types. of fucking socks and they're all different textures and thickness and it is a nightmare. But you need that depending on the environment, the weather. No, no, I want uniform. See, that's why I did the big brain move.

I replaced all my socks with failing about socks because now you won't know if they're mismatched them. The only other socks that I want are like, let's say I'm going snowboarding or skiing, I have a pair, but they're not in, they don't get to mix with the daily socks. The daily socks are in their own drawer and it's a fucking mess.

I've got like literally eight different fucking textures going on. Three of the textures, I'm not a big van off, I should just purge it all. I should get rid of them all and just get... Okay, at which point do you look at a pair of boxes and you go, I think it's time to throw these out? Like, because I, yeah, because like some people, like, some people will be like,

oh, if there's like a hole in it or like some people will be like, oh, you know, the hole's only small and, you know, it's not like, I'm funny. If there's a hole in it, you better get fucking rid of it, guy. That's a bit too far. Because I used to, I used to be like the guy where it's like, if the hole is like small enough where it's, you know, not gonna get in the way

or being like uncomfortable, then it's like, that's maybe got a couple more months So like, you know, I didn't want to be wasteful about it for one time. I was, I got out of the shower and I was like rummaging through my, my, my, my, my, my, boxes. And I picked one up. It looked fine on the front. And then I flipped it around and right on the ass, there was just this giant hole.

Like, a perfectly round hole. And I was like, damn, I must have this on like curry night or something. How do you even have that? It was like perfectly where the asshole would be. It was just like a perfectly round hole. How did that happen? Yeah, that was a fucking bang of farther. Yeah, right.

Damn, you fucking let it rip, man. What was it? Jojo Friday? What was it? The decibels on that father must have just ripped right through the fabric. You're like, boom. I thought that with socks, where you put your foot in, and then you're like, you put your foot in the sock.

And as you're about to, like, get to the end, you're like, oh, my foot is out of the sock. Yeah. And you're like, uh-oh. Like my big toes all the way out there. Yeah. For me, my boxes are actually the biggest indicator of, of when I should do laundry, right?

Because it's not when I run out of boxes. What do you mean? Like, oh, this one's got a giant shit stain on it. Okay, because like we said, we have a tier list of boxes, the ones that you prefer. You have one a day, right? Huh? One a day, right?

Yeah, I do one a day. One of the day. Yeah, of course. We all do one a day. I'm not an animal. I've met people who do, who, you know, I'd say a little too much. Yeah.

Like, well, I'm not discussing. I have, I have standards. We have hygiene standards. We have hygiene standards, yeah. But so it goes in order, all the newest to oldest, right? The ones I prefer wearing. So obviously the newest ones are going to be the most comfortable.

And you buy the same pair of boxers every time. Kind, I mean, it's all the-sac. See, now it's just, it's already anarchy. It's like, when you buy, like, the Uniclo or the H&M branded blocs, they're all the fucking same, you know. They're all the same standards. I haven't gone to like the higher fucking tier, S-tier fucking Calvin Klein.

I don't know what kind of boxes you're wearing. Calvin Klein. I literally like, just, because they're just super comfortable. And like, okay, you guys don't understand. I have a fucking massive ass and like the only things that can fit comfortably are like Calvin Klein.

I mean, I don't know how. Yo, that dummy thick. It's like, the ones in Japan are like literally the best promotion for Calvin Klein. Bro, the ones in Japan. Your tummy thick is will fit in. Yo, trying to put on these boxes, but my, my ass is too dummy thick.

Laff it up, okay? Laff it up. The clap in my ass cheeks. Ripped the hole in my box. The Calvin Clines stop it from clapping. They keep them in place. Without, without chafing the fuck out of me. Because Japanese boxes are major

for like, I swear, 2D people. Literally. And it's like, I put these things on and it's like my balls cannot breathe immediately. No, so like, I mean, I don't have that issue. I have the issue of, I have, I have the issue of, it goes in like, it goes in three tiers. It goes in high tier, mid tier, low tier. High tiers, high tiers are the new boxes. They're like nice and crisp and nice and clean.

They've only had a few washes. It feels good. It feels like, it feels like your, feels like your balls are like nice, you know, they're nice in cup. They're like stable. And then you got like the mid-tier boxes. These are like a few months old. The fabric's starting to wear a bit.

And you're like, okay, I can get away with wearing these. It's not the best boxer feel, but I can make do. And then when I know I need to do my washing is when I get to the fucking low-tier boxes, the ones I technically should really think about throwing out, you know, like the elasticity is just like kind of losing its grip. You know, it's kind of, it's like hanging halfway down your ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right? It's kind of hanging off.

and you're like, I should probably throw these away. But if I did, I would get to a point where I would get to a day where I had no boxes to wear. So that's how, when I get to my lower tier boxes, that's how, that's when I know I need to do the washing. Wait, how many boxes do you own? Like roughly. Like just enough to last you a week or what?

By 12 maybe? Yeah, yeah, because I was about to say, like I have enough to last me like at least two weeks. Maybe like a week and a half. It depends. I think because we've been traveling so often now, sometimes I just misplace them. I can last about a week and a half,

but I get to my low tears after a week. And that's how I know. That's how I know. Because if I didn't have my low tears, I just get to a week and I'm like, fuck, I'm gonna be disgusting now. Why would you not just replace your low tier stuff with just some brand new pair of boxes?

I don't know. Sometimes it's just routine. Like for me, I subconsciously know I need to do the washing. And it actually gives me a reason to do the washing because I don't want to wear my low tier box. But if I just had high tier boxes, I'd be like, fuck, well, I just forget to do the washing. Because, you know, you can get away with wearing a t-shirt again, a day or two, you know, you can get away with wearing trousers. You can't get away of wearing the same boxes every day, you know. How often do you do the washing?

I'm once a week. Yeah, once a week. Or once or twice a week for me. He's lazy. I hate doing washing, so I will do anything I can to delay doing the washing. That's my favorite part. God's very responsible. but also Gantt just doesn't do chores. Like, you can tell. Yeah. Like, Gantt is always late to stuff, and he doesn't do his chores. I hate doing, who likes doing chores?

I like doing laundry. I like doing laundry. It's when you get that crisp, fresh laundry. It's pretty fun. When you pull it out of the washing machine, it's like warm and fresh. Yeah, it smells good. And then you fold it up and everything. To me, I have, I have a routine that I like doing every day.

And if there's something that I, that I need to do that breaks that routine, which is normally chore. I hate it. You're saying, I'm the one who's like American Psycho. This is it. Literally just described American Psychian. Yes. There's a routine I follow every day.

Every day. It's free time. Well, between the both of the bus, Connor. We can cosplay Christian bail together. I just had to call you out on that. Yeah, yeah, because to me, when I'm doing chores, the only thing that's going through my mind is fuck, can I, can I, can I get this over with,

every child ever? Can I get this over with us? fast as possible so I can go back to do my normal shit. And it's just, to me, I hate doing chores is because it gets me away from what I actually want to be doing, which is, which is what I, you know, but what if, for example, right, like, we don't live in a perfect world where everything you do is something that, or everything you have to do is something that you want to do, right? Sometimes, you know, you run into those things where you're just like, you know, I know, I know I need to do this, but right now I'm just not kind of, and I'm not really in the mood

for it. I know I have to do it eventually, but right now, you know what? I don't really I like it. I'll distract myself. And it's times like that for me personally, where I'm like, I can go do the washing. Yeah, I do it. Because there are some instances where I was like, I would rather do the washing right now than do this thing that I happen.

So you're just procrastinating. That's what it is. That's successful procrastination. Successful procrastination because it's, I'm replacing the thing that I have to do with something I also have to do anyway, but I enjoy it more than what I currently have to do. Is that successful?

You are fighting the evil with the evil, is what you're saying. I'm fighting a greater evil with a lesser evil. Like to me, if I'm going to do chores, there needs to be an indicator. It needs to be a line for me to be like, okay, Gant, you need to drop what you're doing and do the chores. Otherwise, I'm not going to do it, unfortunately. But where does that line lie for you? But Garn. It's a low tier boxers, bro.

It's the low tier boxes, okay? The line for you is all of my pants smell like shit. Yes, yes, that is the line for me. But so do you do the laundry then out of you in Sydney or is it a... Well, mostly it's Sydney, but when I'm with, when I'm by myself, which, you know, now that we've been traveling so often, I've had to do laundry more often and, you know, before I was living with Sydney, that I had the same system in place. Yeah.

Because Sydney, Sydney likes doing laundry. I much prefer hoovering up and... See, I hate hoovering up. I hate... I hate vacuuming up, I don't enjoy it. That's why I bought a romber. I don't like... I don't enjoy it. but it's way more satisfying.

Because you get that in- When you get that line and you see the crumbs all gone, you're like, damn. I'm doing this, your hells get. I eat a lot of food. Bro, bro. Sometimes the dust builds up, especially on tired floors, because my house is tired floors.

Yeah, tiles shows the dirt. Yeah, you can really, really fucking see all the dust and all the little things that build up. All right. And it's just instant satisfaction. Laundry, laundry, you have to fucking wait, you know, you have to put all the shit in laundry, you have to wait for it to dry,

and then it gets crisp. but everything like that. With vacuuming, it's just like, ooh, this is just instantly satisfied. Isn't your laundry machine next to your, like, shower or bath? Yes. Well, then when I, like, when it's like laundry day, I just, when I'm about to go in the bath, it's like full or whatever, I just take off my clothes, put them in the thing, press laundry, and then by the time I'm out of the bathtub, it's dumb.

No, because what I, what I, because one, I don't take baths. I take showers. Yes, yes, I know, I know. But the reason I hate laundry is not putting it in. It's because I always fucking forget to take it out to the bar. Yeah. ADHD problems, right? I always put it and I'm like,

I'm gonna come back in an hour. Come back eight hours later, I've got to do laundry again because all these clothes smell. Yeah, and then repeat that cycle basically. I'm very, I guess I'm lucky that I'm literally like two feet away from my thing so that when I'm working, I hear,

beep, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I gotta go do it. Also, mine, my laundry machine, it washes and then dries automatically. I'm not that privilege. Yeah, see, because I had the same problem with my old washing machine where it's like, I would throw it in,

and then I'd be like, I'll come back an hour later and then it'll be like the end of the day and I'm like, oh good, I have to do this again. I hate how dryers make your clothes feel, though. Yeah, I don't like, I don't like using the dryer. Really? Because it just makes it all crinkly. I pull out my t-shirt and it turns out like a fucking tissue.

Yeah. Like a cum tissue. It's like I could snap it in half. Well, no, that's why you've got to use like fabric softness. Yeah. Yeah. And then I also like ironing as well. So I usually do it off.

What? Yeah. I was going to say. I was literally, I was a little bottom tier. I was literally about to say on the chore tier list. I thought we would all agree that ironing is like fucking down there. That's like Z-tier. No, I like ironing.

Sometimes I wish I was just like... Are you fucking shitting? Yeah. Sometimes I wish I was like a box just so I could fucking instantly like, I get all the cruises out of my clothes. Oh, there is though. Have you seen those things? What? Like, I think it's like Panasonic or like Fujitsu or something.

They've like made these like, uh... Why do we have so much dust on the set? Is it there? Why don't have so much dust? Where is it coming home? Someone needs to hoover up, man? Someone needs to hoover up here. Successful procrastination.

I interrupted you, but I can fucking, Yeah, I also saw that as well. But I think it's like Fujito Panasonic now have these like, there's like these like electric cabinets where you can hang up your things and then you press a button and then it steam irons. God, I need that. No, no, it looks like a fucking iron maiden.

Yeah. Oh, does it actually? Yeah, look at it. Yeah. What is it called? I forgot what they're like, ironing shelf or something? Yeah, ironing cabin or something. Wardrobe.

Yeah. Kai, can you look it up as well? Ironing machine. It looks like if you try to rebrand the iron maiden into like something. It looks like a tiny sauna. Like a tiny one room sauna, but you hang up your clothes in it.

Oh yeah, the sauna's where you can like put your body in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff like that. And it's like, I legitimately thought about that. Is it this thing at top? Uh, it's, it's something like that. But it's like a full on like, like, Is it loud?

My height. Is it loud? I don't know. I've only ever seen it in stores. Yeah. No, because I, like, I only iron if I need to iron. Like t-shirts, you don't need to fucking iron t-shirts. No, no, no.

But you, like, I have, you know, when you wanna wear like a nice looking shirt or something, that's when you need to iron it, because that's when the creases really, really show. Yeah, I fucking hate it. I always, I always iron my shirts just before I go out. Oh, yeah. Well, you know the Japanese business suits,

that they make a lot of like non-iron ones. What do you mean? They're like ones you don't need to iron. Oh yeah, yeah. They're like non-crease. But you can, there's still creases on them. I've had them, I've had them. I don't know.

Like when I'm wearing a suit, you're making a commitment wearing a suit shirt and like, it needs to look good. How often are you wearing suit shirts? Not often, which is why I don't iron often. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. What do you like about ironing? I think it's the worst one.

It's pretty bad. I like I can just like kind of chill and like not think while I'm doing it. Like, you know, there's like a lot of people who like, you know, do the dishes while they watch TV and stuff like that or, like to me, yeah, I don't have to do it because I don't have to do it a dishwasher, but like, for me, that's what I was.

Jerry's like, other people, but not me. I used to have to do that in my old place when I didn't have a dishwasher, but like, for me now that's been replaced with like ironing, where it's just like, I don't have to think about it. And also, you know, it's like, I get to make the clothes I like wearing look better than before. So it's like, I don't know, I don't know.

I never used to like ironing until recently, I think. Right. Because now I just appreciate You're speed running, middle age. I am. Because like, I think it's like now I appreciate when my clothes look good. Yeah. Because I remember when I was a kid, you know, always hated doing the chores. And my parents were like, you'll get to an age where you appreciate it. You'll get to an age.

And I don't have. Yeah, yeah. At first, you know, at first they were telling me stories. Oh, you know, when your cousin went to university, that's when he started enjoying cleaning. That's when he became a clean for you because he lived with a bunch of university students that made him really want to clean. And they were waiting, went through the university stage, didn't change. I was like, don't worry. When you get a job and you live by yourself, that's when you appreciate it.

Because then you have to do it. Yeah. Live by myself, got a job, didn't fucking do it. And they were like, well... Was your house just like a mess? Huh? Was your house just like the worst place on earth? It wasn't like, it wasn't the worst place on earth.

It was just, I never enjoyed doing it. So I would only do it if... Right, right. Yeah. Oh, so they said you would enjoy it? They said I would appreciate it and start enjoying it. I don't appreciate me. Like you're throwing your clothes into the washing machine,

you're staying and be like, damn. Doesn't they appreciate that they did it? I think they thought my quality standards would be a lot higher than what they are. They thought that I would want to iron my shirts every week and want to, you know, do the washing and clean up every week. And I'm like, I'll do it when I have, with all my chores, I have a certain threshold where I need to do it. Otherwise, it actually looks like a fucking dump. And my threshold, my threshold to do my chores is like here. Their threshold to do chores is like up there, you know.

And they thought that as I got older, my threshold would slowly, slowly, slowly catch up. But as I've got older, it's just stayed exactly the same.

com slash trash taste. That's join honey.com slash trash taste. Back to the video. You know, I don't actually, I'm not like that invested in chores. Like in the arguments with it and whatever, if you like chores,

whatever, I don't give a fuck. The one thing that pisses me off is these people who act like not using a dishwasher and cleaning the plates makes you some kind of like god tier chad. Like, have you seen this online?

No. People who are like, bro, I use a dishwasher, cringe, dude. Clean it by hand. It gets it out better or like parents and stuff who are like using the dishwasher, really? It's like, what do you mean? Like, that's literally what the dishwasher was invented for. The dishwasher, the dishwasher makes so much sense.

And it uses like one-tenthly amount of fucking water. Why are you still pretending like getting in there and wasting time, wasting all this fucking water makes you some kind of fucking god-tier chat or something? But like no one says the same argument about like cars, right? I was like, bro, you drive a car, cringed. Or like, laundry, right? Like, no, nobody's like, bro, you don't wash your lawn?

You'll close my hand, bro. Get the fuck out of here, bro, cringe. You just doesn't do it right. Just doesn't do it the same way. It's like, bro, what the fuck? No, I mean, I get it. Back in the day, bro, like dishwashers, they take a lot of energy, man.

And when you're trying to save costs and energy bills, you better be washing it by hand. Yeah, but you don't do that with clothes. You're wasting it on water. You're wasting it on water. I believe, like the, I don't know if this is just like my mum. and dad, this is, this is. This is.

This is. Wash me, but I apparently is more cost effective to wash my hand. If not, why would why would everyone not get a dishwasher then? Well,

because the dishwasher machine itself is quite expensive. Yeah. But if you have it, not using it as a waste. Also, not every kitchen has enough space for a dishwasher. Well, yeah, true.

Like, the really small dishwash. Like, I'm pretty sure if you own a dishwasher, there's no benefit, except, like, maybe you have like a giant pot that cannot be cleaned in the dishwasher probably.

That makes sense. There's an argument for that. But, like, acting like, it can't clean your plate Right? Are you kidding me? Like, fuck off. That's literally what I was invented for. And it cleaned to plate to argue with the best out of any other type of thing

that you put in the dishwasher. I don't know. People get so fucking, I see so many people online being like, yeah, man, just dishwasher man, just doesn't do it for me. It's like, what do you mean? What do you mean? Doesn't do for you? Get another dishwasher. I don't know, like, I don't know. Maybe they just enjoy doing the dishes. I can understand if you can't afford a dishwasher

or it's too much or it doesn't fit, like that, those are all valid reasons to not do it. But when you own one and you're like, no, no, no, no. I'm like, to me, to me, dishwashers has, always been the machine that separates, I guess, the more well off to the people who, how can I word this? The dishwasher has always been like the big separator

between let's say the middle class and the working class. Can I say that? In which countries globally or? I don't know, it's always been like that in my mind but because like, I don't know what. Definitely in Japan I would say. Yeah, because I don't know like for some reason,

everyone owns like a washing machine, right? Everyone owns a washing machine, you know, that's, that's just standard. But for some reason, in my mind, whenever I went to a house and they had a dishwasher, I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, well, in the UK. I never, I've never had a dishwasher in the UK. I don't know anyone.

I don't know, maybe this is my privilege. I don't think I ever went to anyone's house who didn't have a dishwasher. Yeah, see. Yeah, in Australia, I think everyone has dishwash. Am I the weird one? Maybe it's because I'm in the countryside and there's just way more room.

Like the houses were definitely way bigger where I was from. I definitely feel that way in Japan. Right. Because it's like, until I went to my friend's place, and they had a dishwasher, I just thought the concept of dishwashers didn't exist in Japan.

Yeah. Because every other house, I was just like, oh, the kitchen is so small. There is physically not enough space for a dishwasher. Your kitchen, your house was really fucking small. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So that makes sense why you wouldn't have one. But like even, even going around friends' places and even going around family's places, nobody, it was rare for anyone I know to have a dishwasher. I wonder why. Because I'm pretty sure the people in Brighton generally

make more money than where I was from. But I think maybe, what you get for the houses. Like every kitchen I'd ever seen was like decently sized. It was like America sized. But that's because all the houses were fucking... Oh no, in America,

pretty much every house I've been to. Yeah, I had a dishwasher man. Maybe it's just like kitchen size and you just have, okay, well, we have tons of room. Because dishwashers themselves aren't as expensive, like aren't that expensive, like, compared to like a... But I guess it's not as mandatory

as like a fridge and other shit. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, dishwasher is when like you're, you're privileged enough to be able to pay someone to wash your dishes for you. You know, whereas washing clothing, that's, that's a necessity, you know. No one wants to wash their clothes by hand.

That's weird, isn't it? Could you look up the savings, how much dishwashers help or something? Yeah. I'm pretty sure you, because, you know, like, the eco mode on dishwashers? Yeah. I'm pretty sure they can, like, they can use an absurd amount of, like, like a crazy little amount of water to clean your dishes, like a really, really, really small amount. Yeah.

Like, and it's, like, amazing. But no one ever does eco, because everyone thinks eco, Fuck that. I do Eko. Do you? Yeah. You're the only person I know has ever done that.

I'm like, I'm like full blast on that piece. Why would you not use Eco? It's, why wouldn't you? I didn't even know that was like, I thought it would, I don't want my dishes to be less clean.

That's what I thought. What are you talking? It cleans your tissues all the same. Okay, listen, if I have an appliance, right? I have some advice. Maybe wash it by hand. Yeah, yeah. Because on the machine, I'm like,

it's like, do you want it to clean hard, medium or slowly? And I'm like, hard. Hmm, hard. Yeah. Yeah, I go full blast on that bitch. I want that shit to be clean. Bro, difference in not bringing, man.

I'm like, yo, I got to save every ounce of energy I can. I'll be honest. Don't pretend like you can't fucking afford it. Okay, I'll be honest. Some things are just ingrained in my mind, okay? Is that from, wait, where did you learn to use ECO then? So you said that you're ingrained in your mind. Where did they get engraved?

Restaurant. So the only dishwash I've ever had is in the restaurant because restaurant business would make sense. Yeah, we know. We need to own, we need to own one. So obviously you gotta go eco. Oh yeah, yeah. If it's in a restaurant setting that makes. This is the first time, no, I had a dishwasher

in my place in London. It was the same kind of deal. But yeah, no, I, that one didn't have Eiko. This one, the one I have now does, I think. I don't know if it's all in Kanji. I don't even think my one has eco. Yeah, I just press start. I don't.

I just press start. Because I open it up, there's like eight little, eight different kanjis and I'm like, well, I know when I press start and go, and it cleans it. So I'm just not gonna touch it. I just go strong and then start. Yeah.

See, that's me in washing machines. Even if it's in English. All right. We have some information. Sorry. Kai. So if you have a full load, it is more efficient and cost efficient

and energy efficient. Oh. But only if you have a full load. It's more cost and energy efficient. Yeah. So if it's just like, you don't, you do not have a full load every time you put it on. I put far too much in.

That's my problem. is that I literally try and Tetris it, and then I'm an idiot, because then I pull it out and half the shit isn't fucking clean, because I like quadruple stack things. Oh, because it's like way too close to each other? Yeah, yeah. How easy your dishwasher, then?

Tiny. Oh, okay, it's tiny. Japanese ones are tiny. I have one that comes out of my thing, and it's maybe like a, because the US, the one I had in the UK was fucking stupid. It's pretty normal US size. Massive. I think it's like a half or a third size.

I think it's like about that big, probably. Maybe it's a half or a third. Yeah, about that deep. So yeah, yeah. If you have a meal, you know, like let's say you, I don't know, you've had like lunch and dinner, four plates, a bunch of side, maybe you had soup with it, the glasses,

like that'll fill up. Yeah, because I've run out of plates and cutlery between just the two of us before the dishwasher becomes full. My dishwasher can only hold like, like five plates. Oh, okay. And then it can hold some glasses

and then maybe a few other little things. It's not, it's not a long. Yeah, my dishwasher is massive. You've got an American sized one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's because- I think I prefer having my size No, I do as well, because that would,

the dishwasher I have right now, because it's built into my house, it's way too big for just two people. Okay, right? The only time I actually feel we get, like, value out of it is when we have like a party or have a gather where a bunch of people come around. Yeah, mine's pretty perfect.

By the time I've got, after a few days, it's pretty full and yeah, easy. I like it, because I hated doing dishes in my old place in Japan. It fucking hated it. Sucks. No, I hate, I mean, I hate doing chores, so I always hate to do dishes as well.

And you, you like, leave them to dry for a little while, and then like the water didn't dry properly and it stains the glass, it looks disgusting and it looks like someone sneezing your glass. And you're like, oh, for fuck. I like the residue. Yeah, but for the fuck sake. I should have dried it,

but I don't want to use a towel because sometimes the towel leaves like little stains, you know, not stains, but like it, like, the marks. Yeah. This wash is great. Yeah, that's why you gotta like hand dry your glasses if you don't want the stains.

No, I did, I used to, but then you, maybe the towel would like streak it or something and then you're like, I'm gonna kill myself. Here's some advice, use your hands. Okay, okay. You got a hand. No, no, that's what it was what I was using my hands. Okay, there's no winning.

Your monkey hands. I'd have my privilege for now, for this part. I had, this first time it's ever happened to me in Duran. Right. I had this place next to my house where I used to always go to get coffee and sandwiches, God tier, like fresh bread. Is that the one you took me into? Yeah, maybe.

Yeah. It was amazing, right? And I went the other day and it was closed during a normal day. I was like, that's weird. I went back again the next day. It's closed again. I'm like, oh, yeah. What's going on here?

Yeah. I go back yesterday, it's gone. Like, they were building shit in it and I was like, what? Oh, no.

I was like, am I not supporting local business? I've been here so many times. I literally like, I must have given them more money than any other customer potentially. I went here like every fucking day. Right.

And I was like, how do I, what do I do now? Should have brought two sandwiches a day. I did. I literally did. I bought two every time I went and a coffee. Even though the coffee was shit and overpriced.

I bought it from there. Damn. You're the only person. Yeah, you're the only one. The only one in your neighborhood that I appreciate your bread. I'm I the only one, keep her this alive. Do you let's not appreciate sandwiches?

It's a really nice coffee store, and they talk to me every time I go, but it's really awkward, small talk, but I can tell for Japan, it's like super sincere. Yeah, this is just a little too, like. You know it's sincere when a random Japanese person is talking to another random person. Yeah.

And a foreigner on top of that? It's like, bruh. Is it a family-owned coffee store? I don't know. I feel like it is. I've never heard of this. it being a chain or anything. Yeah.

And they have, it's nice. They're really cute. They always ask what I'm doing that day and I always answer the same thing. Yeah. They ask any day. And then one time I was carrying like some camera gear and they're like, oh, you filming today?

I'm like, yeah. They were like, gum on it. And I'm like, thanks, friend. That's so cute. Yeah, it's really cute. They're really nice. They do good coffee. So now I'm going to have to get there a bunch

and buy a little overpriced coffee. By the stock. It's a little overpriced. But you get like the good experience. You get the people who actually care about their job. There's nothing that, yeah. more than just seeing someone that just really loves

and cares for their job, even if it's like the small jobs, you know? I'd rather give them pay a little bit extra than Starbucks to say fuck you to Starbucks, but here's the thing, right? Did I talk about this on the podcast last time? No, I didn't, I rented to someone else. I'm trying to remember who I've ranted to about what.

Yeah, and I've definitely rented about this. Okay, I don't want to always order shit from Starbucks, right? But online, in the morning, I might want a coffee and I want food with it, right? So I want lunch. Yeah. Yeah. So I want coffee and a lunch.

And like nowhere in Japan does decent coffee and decent lunch. It's like pick up, pick your, pick your priority. Do you want good coffee? Okay, the lunch is probably going to be really bad or they won't have anything. Yeah. Do you want good lunch? Okay, they probably don't have coffee. And if they do, it's like just black Americana.

Yeah. And then they give you some like sugar packet and stuff. And it's like, I want, ah, this is such privilege. And usually it's like sour as well. Yeah, this is privilege by the way. This is privileged to conversation. But like Starbucks is like the only place that does it. Yeah.

Well, on Uber Eats. So I'm like, I don't want to buy Starbucks, but they're the only one who does it. If a competitor comes up and it's a smaller person, I swear to God, I give you all my money. Just please, someone else. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you the thing that annoys me

about ordering stuff from Starbucks here in Japan, especially now after going to America and having the privilege of ordering Starbucks and coffee in America, especially L.A., which is, oh, my God, the amount of options you get in America just blows Japan out the water, right? Yeah. Like, Japan have, like, the best. bare basic options with all of their coffee.

I would expect this like most, most of the options I don't really give a shit about. But in Japan, the really thing, the big option that really annoys me, and that's why the reason I've rarely ordered coffee from Starbucks is because I want a hot coffee. Even if it's like the summer, most of the time, I want a hot coffee. In Starbucks, in Starbucks, you can only order one size on Uber Eats. I don't know why that is. But really? Yeah.

If you try to order hot coffee in Starbucks, like the last. latte or something, every hot coffee, there's no size option. It's only one size and it's the smallest size. And I'm like, and it's Japan's small size as well. So it's not, it's no way a decent size of two ships. Which is basically an espresso. Yeah, yeah. But for some reason, their iced latte, their ice coffee, it's got all the like the tall brandy vente size, but the hot coffee has only one size. And I'm like, why is that the case? What is what is going on Starbucks? So he reads in Japan. And then, and then like the dichotomy of spending a month, in LA or whatever, you go on the Uber app,

and the thing is like a fucking character customization screen. Holy shit, there's every option possible. Oh yeah, that was dumb. Yeah, you just wanna one coffee and you have nine options. You have to choose each one. You're like, what the fuck? Yeah, the moment you choose either hot or cold, it opens to another page.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 17 options. I'm just like, I don't know what half of this shit means. Like, you like order, you like go in the order screen to get to the order screens, you know? They're like, what molecular level of milk do you want? Tell us, tell us the atomic weight of the milk you want. It's like, what do you mean? But you know, all who breeds customization is shit in Japan. Like, if you want to get like actually

stuff like customized, like, like we, I think we said before, if you order subway in Japan, okay, one, you shouldn't be doing that. Yeah. But if you do, because sometimes you just want a sandwich, you want a sub, right? Yeah. You can't order toasted online. Yes. If you order a subway sandwich, you cannot get it toasted. You have to go to the store. Right. To me is like, what is the barrier Like, are you worried that it'll be like soggy when it gets to me? I'm okay to sign up for that risk. Like, I want the cheese melted. Like, I don't care.

I'll heat it up myself or some shit. I don't know. But maybe you're the rare breed and most Japanese people are just like, no. Well, I think because they don't know it's like an option because no one goes to subway here. Yeah, that's true. So like, oh, sandwiches are cold.

Yeah, I've only seen like one subway here in Tokyo or something like that. Yeah. It's not like a... Because why would you fucking hoard for it? Because it is really bad. It's not great. It's not great. It's not great.

I will admit, like, it's, it's not great in America, but it's leagues better than the one here. Like, even McDonald's as well. Like, the one thing I want from McDonald's with my fucking meal sometimes is McFlurry. And there's only one McFlahery here. There's only one option McFlahery, and it's the Oreo McFerry.

And that's the worst fucking McFurray. Out of every option you could possibly choose, Japan choose to put the Oreo McFlaherie on Uber Eats. I might think a lot of things Oreos taste bad. I just think audios, Oreos don't taste good. I just think they, the biscuit is shit quality. Yeah.

And the stuff is the only thing. keeping it together, literally and metaphorically. I mean, it doesn't like make me, you know, fucking jizz myself, but like it's, it's just a mid-cookie. It's such a mid-cook. I think it's below mid. Honestly, there are mid-tombs are mid.

Yeah, Tim Tams are mid. Like, fuck off. I just think that like the-O-Rio's a below, way below that. Yeah, I think that the best mcflurry is just, give me the fucking one with the little chocolate, like crushed sprinkles in it. Like, you know where they just did

a piece of chocolate I think I've ordered a McFlurry maybe twice in my life. I like it in the UK a lot, actually. So I have no say on this one Flory discussion. I think in the UK it goes hard. Really? I think so. Well, the problem with like Oreo McFlurries is that unlike say some other chocolate bits

where it's actually like physical, like nice solid bits of chocolate or honey cookies or whatever, the Oreo McFlurray is just like the cookie just turns into fucking powder, right? Right. So the powder just blends in with the ice cream. And I'm like, this is awful. because I want like, there's no clear distinction between where the ice cream starts and where the cookie starts, you know,

because it's just ice cream cookie it now at this point. I think you're expecting a little too much high quality from something from McDonald's. Hey, I want like, no, no, no, McFlurries are normally pretty damn good, if it works. Yeah, anything but Oreo McFlurries fucking slaps. What are the other, what's your favorite one then?

I just, I'm basic, I like the dairy milk option. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dairy milk. Yeah, dairy milk. It's just like bits of dairy milk chocolate. If not, then crunchy, the crunch to the crunchy option, or the, or the, M&M options, those all great, all fantastic options.

I had the MNM one out of the two times I ever ordered McFlurry, that was pretty good. Yeah, but Oreo McFlurries, why Japan, why? Why, why would you choose Oreo? Hey, at least the machine always works here. I've never been to McDonald's it wasn't working at. That's true, I didn't know. That's true, that's, that's, we got a good,

we got a good, that's, that's the trade off. Don't put yourself up. Is it, is it a trade? That's like the monkey port trade off. Yes, your ice cream machines always work, but you can order only- You can only order Oreo McFlurries. I'm like, this is, this is hell now.

This is fucking hell. The ultimate choice. Span had the, the McClory with the Black Thunder snacks. Those are really good. See, like, I don't know, do you like Black Thunder? I actually really like Black Thunder. What's Black Thunder? Black Thunder is like those like Japanese, yeah,

like chocolate bars. It's kind of like a crunchy, I guess. Okay. No, it's not. Let me Google this right now. You want to copy. How? No, no, because like those, like,

They have more options in McDonald's itself. I'm talking about Uber. I don't know if they still do. It was definitely, I don't know. It's a chocolate bar. If you come to Japan, you should try it. It's pretty good. And if you go to Hokkaido,

they have a white chocolate version. Yeah, but they don't call it white thunder. They call it white black thunder. Oh, this. Yeah. Shirobrak thunder. Yeah, Sido braks thunder. White black thunder.

I'm like, just calling white thunder. I never understood that. Oh, yeah, this fucking slaps. That's a good chocolate bar. It's pretty good. I don't eat a lot of Japanese chocolate bars because I notice that in Japan, I feel like they just make chocolate bars

that taste good and then they worry about what's in it after. Because like every single chocolate bar, you look at the packaging, you're like, oh my Jesus Christ, when you read the like the nutritional information. Yeah, yeah. It's like they'll have like 50 grams of sugar or something in it.

You're like, who the, we can play about Coke cans, Japan's, what? What? I don't know, it should be personally. I mean, how often do you eat Black Thunder? No, I don't. But, okay, in my mind, right, I don't care about, like, a lot of the time,

if I want to eat fucking chocolate, I don't care about the calorie count. Sometimes you're in that mood, I'm like, I want a chocolate. But I also want to not kill myself. So, and is this thing tasting, is this thing going to taste so good that it's worth putting this in my body?

Right. So it's kind of like a toss-up. Yeah. And a lot of the time in Japan, weirdly, there's just a lot of chocolate balls or snacks that are just absolutely. rammed with like carbs and sugars, like way more than normal stuff.

Oh yeah. I don't know if you've noticed this. Yeah, no. You should pick them up, have a look and just compare them to some chocolates that we have or other American ones, but they're probably put other, God knows what chemicals are.

I mean, either way. I rarely eat sweets, so. Yeah, I just don't fuck with it. Yeah. Just give me a fucking sandwich. Like if I'm hungry, I'll just eat a sandwich. No, for something like, for me, I rarely eat chocolate bars,

because if I want something sweet, I want like a nice, like a rich, yeah, a premium one, like a rich cake or really nice ice cream or something that's gonna like, you know, fill that desire for me. But that's why, I mean, I mean, that's why I rarely eat desserts, I think,

because I rarely get into the mood to eat something sweet. Well, we had this conversation like a couple weeks ago, but yeah, yeah. What's your favorite chocolate bar? Do we have to do like a chocolate bar tea? Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I'm gonna say it's right now. I know it's not chocolate, but I like white chocolate

the most. And I know it's awful for you as well. It tastes so good though. Really? Yeah. White chocolate is probably my least favorite. Fuck, I love white chocolate. It's just pure sugar.

Like at least chocolate has something in it. White chocolate is just sugar. It's nothing, it's not even chocolate. I like the cocoa. I like the cocoa. I think dark chocolate's my favorite. I'm gonna go milk chocolate. Just to round things off.

Can I have a tea? Can I have like a hot? No, no, if you were to just have it by itself. Are you talking about brands? Or you're just talking about white, dark, or milk? Well, I mean, brands or whatever. Because it's hard to choose a brand because I don't think it's fair to like compare

Tobleron, yeah or nay? Yeah. That's, that's, that's, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's fair to compare, say, dairy milk to Linderor or Ferreira Roshes or shit like that, you know what I mean. Are we just talking about the bare bones?

It's like comparing five guys to internet, you know, just not, not fair. They're different vice counts. We do that. Why are you? We did that. We're guilty of that. Yeah, yeah. We did do that.

To me it's different because that's, that's a meal. Okay. Okay. Would you say in and out? Oh, for fuck. This is not a tangent that. Let's save this for the America tour, okay? Save this for the America tour.

I don't really feel like arguing about burgers. I've got chocolate on the mind right now. Do you still want to continue the chocolate debate? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I just, Joey asked the question. I've had a loaded topic next after the chocolate. Oh, for fuck, sake. I am not ready.

So we should drag this chocolate conversation as much as possible. Honestly, one of my favorites is, yeah, I mean, dairy milk. I've grown an appreciation. of dairy milk after moving out of England. Yeah. I think British chocolates are actually really, really fucking good. When you take one bite of Hershey's, you're like, oh, oh, this is disgusting.

It kind of, yeah. This is horrible. I don't know why, like, Hershey's to me always, it's kind of tastes like farts. I don't know why. Like it tastes gassy. I think it had to do with World War II, right? So I think World War II, when, obviously,

where they are rationing everything, I think, I think, think the UK and some other European countries just decided to just make less chocolate because they were like, yeah, we're not gonna make that. And whereas I think America wanted to give a lot of the troops chocolate. I could be wrong.

Can you fact check this? Ty, can you? Don't think that. But it's something along those lines where they wanted to keep giving chocolate to people because, you know, it's a little good morale booster. So they made chocolate that had a lot less chocolate, not a lot less milk.

Oh. Because, you know, it takes a lot of milk and a lot less cocoa. Cacao. Cacao. Cacao. Cacao. And so they ended up making this kind of like weird, sugary fucking mess. And yeah, and then they were making it all throughout the war, the war, Hershey's.

So yeah, so people are still eating Hershey's. And they make fun of British people for eating war ration like food. Motherfuckers in America are still eating war rations, dude. And it's like their favorite chocolate bar. It just doesn't taste good. It doesn't taste like chocolate. No. And it's so obvious that if you eat any chocolate from Europe and then you go to America and you have American chocolate,

you're like, this isn't chocolate. What is this? This is like if an alien sore chocolate tasted it and was like, I will replicate this and formulate. Well, I think even Asian chocolates aren't that good. Like the barebones basic chocolate bars,

you can't get good chocolate here. But if you were just talking about, here's some of the cheapest options you can fucking get. A lot of Asian chocolates are just missing that, like, the weight, the heaviness that you get in European chocolates, I feel.

Like a Frodo bar is like better than pretty much... Hold that Frodo. Is it Frodo? Fredo. Fredo, sorry. I believe he's from Lord of the Rings. They might have a hard time getting their name. A Frodo.

I know, I knew. Hey, Fredo, can you make a bar that's just shapely Frodo from Lord of the Rings? I'm more a homily bar myself. I'm more of a gimly guy. Can I get the Gandalf bar? The Gandalf. The Gandalf. Yeah, like, Frodo bars are like the better

than basically any kind of cheap chocolate can get in Asia, I think. Yeah, Fred is great. Yeah, I base that on Japan and Thailand. Yeah, that's the reason I don't get chocolate bars here because there's nothing that really feels that, like, that makes me feel that satisfaction for me. I think it's just a culture thing, right?

Like, they just don't have a history and a big culture of making chocolate as long as, like, say, Europe. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they have a, they obviously made chocolate, but, you know. Yeah. Because Japan has a lot of its own type of sweets, right?

Give us some knowledge. Yeah, so, Hershey's was used for the American soldiers during 1 or 2 because it would give them a pepper. Yeah, yeah, I'm wrong. Yeah, yeah. Cool, so yeah, I was kind of right. Yeah, yeah. Nice.

You're wrong. I was not wrong. I don't know, okay, I might have been wrong on the makeup of what goes into Hershey's, but I'm pretty sure it's like less chocolate. Did I learn that from a Johnny Harris video. I know, Vox video. Vox.

Thank you, Vox. All right, what was your fucking preloaded argument that you were gonna go off on? Yeah, sure. All right, okay. Also, before we leave the chocolate debate and sweets, Japan's sweets, kinda lame. Not gonna lie, just saying.

Yeah, it depends. They'd be like, do you want beans? What? That's Japanese sweet. Do you want bean taste? Is this your first day in Japan? Do you want beans? Do you want beans?

Hey, oh, fam, do you want beans? You want beans? That's what Japan dessert's like. They're like, do you want beans, beans paste? No, it's like there's more variety than just fucking chocolate. Because I know you, I know you, you want one type of dessert and it's like either fucking ice cream or chocolate. Yeah, yeah, you're like, anything else, anything else disgusting.

I cannot imagine why any cakes, cakes are good. Who the fuck eats beans for dessert? Ew, disgusting. Coke's good. Conno's like, I can't imagine why any other culture would once eat anything else that's sweet other than cake, chocolate and ice cream. Unfathomable. I think we should start colonizing these places.

Show them what a real dessert. Okay. Completely off topic. My next, while I remembered that I watched it, I watched the newest Thor movie. Oh, because people love my movie reviews.

Oh, God, here we are. Is this the loaded topic? Is this love and thunder, right? Yeah. It was shit. Yeah. I've heard it was shit.

It was so awful. What I've, I'd never have gone to a Marvel movie before. This, this badly, and it felt like, I literally just watched a filler. I just watched Phila.

Yeah. I don't know what the shit did. And these motherfuckers online will be like, no, no, no, you have to watch this because you need to know that Thor had X happen because this is going to happen in the next movie. And it's like, bro, this could have been a cliff notes. This did not matter at all.

Yeah. Who cares? Who? The West. Who? Who? Who? It was such a bad movie.

I don't even, I don't think that's a hot take, though. I've seen a lot of people talk about the new Thor movie and just say it was bad. Well, not bad. Just mediocre. Very, very mediocre. that kind of wasn't even a Marvel movie, it was like a comedy movie, that's what I heard.

I'm gonna start rating all the movies that we talk about on the show, four out of three point five out of 10. Oh, that though? What, five would be me? I actually felt like I wasted my time. Wow, and I really feel like that about movies. Yeah, because you, you said the multiverse of madness was shit.

Oh, it was like a five. That was a five? I watched it afterwards. And I didn't go to see it in cinemas, because of Conner's raging review over it. So I was like, I don't need to watch this in cinemas. And then I watched it when it came out on stream platforms. I thought it was okay, not as bad as like what you're making out to be.

I think I think I'm just way more invested in the whole Marvel cinematic universe than you are. And I think Marvel has got to a point now where it's just basically a fucking anime at this point. You know, Marvel, the MCU is the Western anime, okay? The Western equivalent of anime, right? Yeah, I mean, I don't know, it's just, it's, again, it's so, I don't know, it's so, I don't know, it's so boring now. Like, after endgame, I feel like they've just been stumbling, right, again to find something. And they're building up these, this weird stuff. And it just feels like, who, who cares?

I think, I think, because they, I think, I think Marvel's going through two problems right now. One is like, end game happens and they've, obviously, when you've had 10 years worth of buildup into, like, one fucking film or two films. obviously you're not going to be able to follow that up immediately. And the second thing is that there's just too many fucking things right now because I think they've just... How do you keep up with it? Yeah, because I think they just announced all of the films in phase five and the end of phase six as well, which is going to be like the next Avengers, right?

The next two Avengers film is going to be all the way in phase six now. And I believe there are more films coming out in one year than there is in the entirety of phase one of MCU. And like how are you meant to fucking keep up with that? You know? Yeah. I mean, it's just a lot. And a lot of the time,

I wouldn't mind if I felt like I was getting good movies. But a lot of them are just kind of like, all right, you're just putting stuff out. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a... It's just quantity over quality.

Yeah, yeah. I don't know. And, uh, yeah. And it's like I watched, I watched Top Gun, the new one. That was really good. I heard that was really good. I watched it in four MXD.

That she was so, good because the chairs were like moving around. With the jets, it was so good. I mean, it was just a good movie. Like, it was just great. Like, it didn't try to do anything wild. It was just like, let's just tell a story and it's fun and it's good. And apparently that was like barely any CG in it either.

It was like really impressive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, eight out of ten. It was a good movie. Eight out of ten? Honestly, it was fun. If you haven't watched it, I think it's still in Japanese cinemas. You should go watch it.

It's really fun. I had a similar thing with you where I finally watched the new Robert Patterson Batman movie as well. on his raging reviews. I like it. But I like Robert Pattinson. Oh, I do, I do too, but I thought that movie was boring as shit. I thought it was okay.

I was just, it was okay. He was just too emo. I mean, he was. It was like if Bruce Wayne listened to a little bit too much my chemical romance, you know, I wanted Robin Pattenson to be in the movie more as him. He had like six lines. I did too, I did as well, but my God,

it was just like every time, every time he went on screen, I could fucking hear Boulevard of Burr broken dreams just like in the fucking background. The part that killed me was when he took the mask off and he has eye liner. I'm like, no, no, did you just come back from a concert? Like, help hide his eyes, okay?

The mask isn't really the perfect type of. I could hear welcome to the black parade when he took off the mask. I was like, you are so emo, it's just hilarious. It covers the color of his skin, right? Yes, it's, oh my God. But I liked it. It was too long? Yes, it was too long.

Yeah, it was far too long. And the thing is, I just didn't think Batman as a character was an interesting character in that friend. I thought he was more interesting in, in this movie than he was at Batman McGins. Really? I, because I really, really liked the Christian Bill Batman. Yeah, but I like him at the Dark Night.

At the Batman Begins, I didn't really, I wasn't really invested in it. I thought, yeah. I did, because at least you got to see like a character arc in Batman Begins. It wasn't as interesting as Dark Night. I actually think he was, like Christian Bill was a more interesting character

as Batman in Batman Begins, versus the Dark Night, where he was mostly about the Joker, right? But in The Batman, I thought... It started the same way it ended, in my opinion, where it's like, Rob Patterson is sad at the beginning of the movie and he's just even more sad. Yeah, because he's broken.

He's like a fucked up character because he's Batman. He's a fucking psychopath. Yeah, but like... He's not supposed to be cool. This guy's a freak. Yeah, but like they... I think they made it a little bit too on the nose with this movie, whereas, like, you know, with the Christian Bale ones,

it's like, yeah, he's a little bit fucked up. but it's a little more subtle, I feel. Whereas like this one, like, especially with the fucking eyeliner, I was just like, all right, I get it. I like the, Batman, big boohoo saty. I really liked the riddler in the Batman.

Like, I thought he was a really good villain. I thought he was a really, really good villain. But, I mean, we're comparing it to the Jim Carrey version. Yeah. No, in terms of like Batman villains and just superhero villains. Right. Right. And in general, I think he was a really, really good villain. I think like the Batman was much less of an interesting

character versus the riddler in this film. Because I didn't really get a reason to really care about Christian. Sorry, not Christian. Robert Panza's character. I didn't really, I didn't really have a reason to care about Batman in this film. The last hour was just far too long as well. Like, it was just drag. It was. I'll admit that.

Yeah. I'm just a simpian. Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I love Robert Pattinson and like his acting was good, but like he had far too little lines that were even interesting. Yeah, I'm hoping that the next one is like, you know, because we have badmigans. I hope it's kind of ups the ante a little bit more.

Hopefully dark night, but it won't be that good. But it's, because if it felt like with the Batman, it just came in with, with the assumption that like the audience like, you know Batman. We don't need to explain Batman. You already know his character. I don't know his Batman. Yeah, every, but like to me, I still,

I still want to see that character. I still want a reason to care about. You want to see his fucking dad die again? I mean, sure. Like, oh no, not again. Yeah. Every, every, oh, there's so much. many of them. I hate it. I did like, though, the fact that, like, the riddler, they just made them out

to be like a 4chan. Yeah, but it's great. That's great. Yeah, that's what made it so interesting. That's what made it interesting. It's that they took an old villain and they made it like, they modernized it. Yeah. They made it relevant. They made it current, you know, same thing with what they did with the Joker, with that movie, uh, with the recent movie that came out as well. I just thought with the Batman, Batman was just the most boring character out of everyone in that cast for me. Because he was barely, he barely had any fucking lines to begin with. For me, it was like, there's a lot of really interesting dynamics in the Batman. Again, there's been like a long time since I watched it.

But I really like, I remember I really like the fact that how he was like, even the police saw him as this kind of weirdo. Yeah, they were like, no, no, what are you doing? Get out of here. Yeah. And then obviously the warden, the warden, warden was helping him. But then everyone else was like, commissioner. The commissioner, sorry, yeah.

Gordon. Gordon. Yeah, Gordon was like, you know, the only one helping him. And I thought that was interesting because in real life, Why the fuck with this random psychopath and a suit be allowed to like go into the scene of the crime? Yeah. And it's like it's dumb.

It would make sense, right? I liked how it felt a bit more real, a bit more gritty. I liked it. I thought it was good. But yeah, I, I, I think, what was you right out of 10? The Batman?

7.5, 8. And that's the Connor movie reviews. That's the Conno movie. Monkey reviews, let's go. I also watched Sonic 2 on the plane. How was that? It was exactly the same as Sonic 1, but with knuckles.

I, are they announced Sonic 3, didn't they? Yeah. Which has Shadow. Which has, yeah. Shadow. I enjoyed Sonic 2 way more than I thought I would. It was fun. Yeah.

It was a good time. I think that I'm okay with this being a series. I think it's just fun enough where I think it's fine. It's straddled the perfect line between Campi and cringe. There was so much cringe jokes in it there. There was, but they fucking, they owned it, you know, they owned it. You know, they, it wasn't. That's like Sonic's MO though.

Yeah, yeah. It's like, it's not. That's just the Sonic fan base in general, right? Like they got the essence of Sonic in this film. And so I went into it and I saw one or two jokes. I'm like, this is going to be an awful film. But I kept watching. I'm like, this is an awful film.

But I'm fucking having a great time. Idris Allen was really good as well. I like Indus Allen. Idges Elbe is great. Jim Carrey's fucking great as well. Jim Carrey is just fucking great. And I think the scene that sold me was the dance battle. I hated that scene.

I was like, oh, I end! Wait, what is it? It's fucking, like, they're like, you, uh, fucking, Siberia or some shit. Yeah, there is Siberia or some shit, and they're in this random bar, and then they piss off this random fucking Russian guy or some shit,

and you think a fight's gonna go down. And then, like, he takes off his shirts and starts dancing. And they have a dance battle. And I'm like, this is so stupid that it's like just fucking looped around and become amazing. Right.

Right. Yeah, that's, that's the thing. That's the thing. It's, it's straddle. the perfect line between cringe and campy. And it's just, it just, it, it, it, stradders it so well that. It's just, it's just entertaining.

Like, you're not meant to take it seriously. I'm hoping the next one's good with Shadow to be run. It is. Did you see, oh, I mean, no, it is. Yeah, yeah. I hope it's gonna be good. Yeah, yeah.

I wonder. Fucking Edge Lord Shadow. I can't wait to see. How the fuck is? I can't wait to see fucking edge of shadow jokes. I can't wait for all the edgy fucking shadow jokes. Yo, Robert Pattinson. Go ahead like,

reprising his role. Yes, actually. Okay, okay, I'm on board. Okay, now I'm on board. I'd be down for that, I'd be down for that, yeah. I'd give the Sonic movie. If Shadow isn't wearing eyeliner, I'm gonna be solely, I will say,

I think I have more fun watching the Sonic movie, even though it was shit, than I did watching the last two Marvel movies. So I'll give it six. Yeah, I'm not surprised with that. Yeah, I mean, Marvel to me, I'm only, I only like it because I'm invested in what happens.

If you're not investing in what happens, you're gonna hate the recent Marvel movies because there's literally like no reason to watch it. That's why I feel like it's, it's just objectively, bad. Like if the only way that you can enjoy Marvel is that you, you are dedicated to the Marvel universe, then like the movies aren't good. The movie should be able to hold up on its own. I totally agree with you. Like the most interesting thing for Dr. Strange for me, uh, was seeing his progression

as a character and seeing how this affects the wider universe of Marvel. I fully fucking admit that. And I fully fucking admit there's there's so many moments in multiverse of madness that just doesn't work as a standalone movie. Yeah. Like the, moment you talked about where it's just like, oh, look at these characters, care about these characters because... Like, it's just turned into fan service for... Yeah, it's literally fans. It was like there was so much fan service in that movie. I don't feel like Dr. Strange as a character has like, in that movie, actually gets

anything out of it. Like, he doesn't change at all. Like, in the first movie, it's great because, like, he's having to learn it all and he's having to change his, like, assholeish ways. Yeah. But then he just becomes Benedict Cumberbatch. And then he just hasn't changed. at all or like progressed in any way. Like at least Thor has changed a shit ton as a character and is somewhat interesting to follow. But like I just find Doctor Strange really boring to watch because Benedict Comebatch

has been playing Sherlock, but with magic. Like the past two movies or three movies. I don't know what the fuck, it's so boring. Yeah. If there's one thing I do actually recommend Loki is probably the best thing to come out personally. I can imagine Loki could be good. Loki is one, an interesting story.

Two, it's kind of self- It's kind of like self-contained, so it tells a self-contained story. And three, they make Loki's character super, super fucking interesting. Okay. It's, it's... Well, he's always been one of the more interesting characters. Yeah, exactly. He's been one of the more interesting characters, and they gave him such an interesting

character arc and character progression as well, where they didn't exactly change his character at all. They just gave him way more depth. Like, highly fucking recommend Loki. It kind of hits all the boxes you want from what Marvel kind of used to be before end game. It's an interesting story. It really, really affects the wider universe.

And it's just, but you can enjoy a standalone as well. Fucking amazing. Watch Loki. I'm recommending movies now. I watched also on the plane. I watched the Big Lebowski. That was good for the first time. That's a fucking fantastic movie.

First time I've watched it. Yeah. That's an amazing movie. Such a good fun movie. Such a fun movie. I recently watched a movie. I don't know if it's new at all, but like, Rakey recommended it to me.

It's called Greenland. You know this movie? It sounds so familiar. It's, uh, it's, uh, it's, yeah, like, named Dars the country? Yeah, like named off the country, but it's like it's basically the most, I would say, out of all of like the world is ending like apocalyptic movies, it's probably one of the most realistic, like representations of it. So it's like, it's basically just like the world, there's this giant meteor or comet or whatever it is that's like flying around the earth and it's about, and like little bits of its debris is about to hit the earth. But it's like Gerald Butler. Yeah, Gerobalo. Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. He just does disaster movies now. Yeah, he does. I think it's like his production company.

I think so. And literally all he makes is disaster movies. But it's him and it's like, you know, like little bits of the comments are going to like hit the earth. And then there's one big part of the comet where it's like, it's bigger than the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. And, you know,

the earth has 48 hours left. And it's basically like Gerard Butler plays like this dad who just does everything he can to try and get his family to this safety bunker in the middle of Greenland. Yeah. And it's like, and I personally enjoyed it

because it made me super fucking anxious the entire time. Because they go through these like, really, it, like, I think it perfectly shows what would actually happen, especially because it's like basically the US most of the time. What would actually happen if a situation like that happened in the real world?

Right. So it's like, you know, Gerard Butler's like family gets like selected to like, you know, go, you know, because he's like, his character plays like a construction work or something, right? So it's like, they pick out all the people with like the,

important occupations that would be, you know, responsible for rebuilding society once the earth gets destroyed. Yeah, yeah. And then it's like all this like shit about like people being like, like, desperate to like fucking steal the QR code and stuff like that so that they can get on the plane. And it's like, it's fucking like anxiety driving the entire time. That sounds pretty interesting.

I like Jared Butler as an actor. I wish that he did stuff that wasn't disaster movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I remember when he was one of the hottest names in Hollywood, you know, for a while. Yeah, after 300. Yeah, after 300. Yeah. Like the man crush that everyone had,

be included. How couldn't you? Abbs of steel. Sexy fucking man. Yeah. What was the other apocalypse movie that recently came out, not recently, but came out a while ago on Netflix. I'd like Leonardo de Caprio. Don't look up.

Don't look up. I heard that sucked. I heard that sucked. I watched it, yeah. What was bad about it? One, it was like fucking three hours long. And there's just like dumb fucking edits in the movie that are fourth war breaking. They're so frustrating.

Yeah. And it's just like, it's like political satire of what's happening. real now in the world, but I feel like political satire is so, like, funny and unfunny at the same time. And it's just, like, it's really grating. Well, because I saw the one scene that came from that show that was spread around recently because it was like so, you talk about political satire, but in that case, it must have been so, it was so, damn good satire. It was so on the nose. So I believe there's a scene where they try to warn everyone about the incoming asteroid, right, on the news. And the news is just like, we don't do that here.

Let's, let's talk about, let's talk about something nice. Let's, we're here for good vibes, right? And then I believe recently, in the UK, in the UK, God fucking, come, come on, come on, come on, come on, guys, we're better than this. But in the UK, there was a recent interview that was about the impending heat wave that Europe's currently going through. Yeah, yeah. Where it is a record-breaking heat wave. I believe now the heat waves pass, but UK recorded a new record high for the highest temperature ever recorded in, in our country. Like 40, something. Which is like 40 or 41 degrees. It's insane.

Yeah, which is insane. For a country without air conditioning and for houses that are built to trap heat, that is that is fucking excruciating. That is dangerous. People legitimately die from heat stroke and shit from this. You know, this is gone beyond, oh, it's a bit of hot, you know, it's a bit hot. And people will be like, oh, back when I'm from, back when I'm from, you know, it's 5,000 degrees where I'm from.

I was born on the surface of the sun. I'll have you know. I fucking hate that shit. But yeah, so this weather experts was trying to warn the interview on the news that, you know, we should prepare for hard times because you shouldn't take care of yourself. People are going to die from this event. And the newscast that literally said, you know, all you weather, all you meteorologists are so, you know, you're so down.

Like, why are you such downers all the time, man? It's good weather. How could you complain about a bit of heat, a bit of sunshine? And it was just, it was so on the nose to what, to the scene that's the, uh, the other film. Yeah, the other film kind of portrayed that it's, it was, it was kind of like depressingly, depressingly. Depressingly accurate.

Like I said, it was, it was very funny at times and very cringe at times. Like some of the satire was very good. Mm-hmm. And it was tasteful and others were very like, oh. But again, I guess it could be with your political leaning as well. Yeah. Like if you're, you know, you might find one. It was trying to make fun of both sides.

Yeah. But at times just made it look, made it seem like dumb. Right. And there's this whole like kind of kind of. There's like a subtle art to doing that kind of stuff. I don't know. For me, it was just, it was great. Like the kind of like king of that.

Yeah. Like if it's too on the nose, then it's just like, all right, all right. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't watched South Park of late though. I don't know if it's good. I don't know if it's good. But back when I used to watch South Park, you know,

it's very funny. Yeah, they were like kind of like the kings of being able to make both sides look stupid, while also just making a funny, funny show in general as well. Yeah, I think they've definitely done some episodes that were bad. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. What show doesn't? Under Tiddies under-ed. Anyway.

Going back to Top Gun, though, I've definitely grown more of an appreciation to any action films with Tom Cruise and them just because have you guys been recommended the clips and the shorts that are just basically a bunch of Tom Cruise interviews describing all the stunts that he's done? Bro, that man, Tom Cruise, as we know, is fucking insane, right? But he's the right kind of insane to make amazing action movies.

Right, right. Because he is very, like, old school when it comes to stunts and everything like that. Does he do all of his stunts? Right now he does, I don't know if he does all of them, but a lot of them he does by himself. So one of the craziest stunts, I haven't even seen the movie, but one of the craziest stunts I've heard him talk about recently was in one of the recent Mission Impossible movies. They do like a halo jump. And what's a halo jump? It's where you like jump from like the stratosphere, I think.

Yeah, yeah. I believe it's like a, can we fact check exactly what a halo jump is? But basically it's a skydive. It's a skydive from space. It's a skydive from space, right? See. Well, not, I don't know if it's from space, but it's either a very low or very high skydive. I'm going to guess very high, right?

A very low skydive would just be a fall. I meant either a low altitude than usual or higher altitude. I think it's higher. That's how high is it? Well, Hilo stands for high altitude low opening. Okay. Okay. So, right, military-proachining jump.

Yeah, right. From the stratosphere, right? Or it's like above the stratosphere or something. Anyway, it's a really high sky. Yeah. So in this movie, because after him, after watching him talk about it, I actually went out and watched the scene in this movie. And it's one long shot, right?

It's one fucking long shot of them jumping out. of the airplane and then there's this, there's this entire fucking action sequence that happens midair and it's all done like IRL in real life where one of, I know what IRL stands on. Yeah, yeah. I just just in case the viewers said no. Okay.

Where one of the guys gets like struck by lightning. That's obviously CG, but obviously he passes out and Tom Cruise has to basically help him fix this, help him fix. Wait, he gets hit by lightning mid skydive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what happens. How unlucky could you think?

Well, to be fair, they do the halo jump in a thunderstorm. So, you know, you know, it's not like fucking... It's not like they just jump out of flame. And then God's just like, I'm going to smite this one person. You made it sound like it was like clear blue skies. It's just like, phew! That would be quite unfortunate. Yeah.

So, yeah, Tom, Tom Cruise's character has to help him fix his parachute and fix everything in midair. Yeah. And then they fucking are able to just land safely, I guess, afterwards. But it's all done in one shot. It's one unbroken shot, right? And Tom Cruise was talking about it, and they only had one take a day, right? Because it was shot right as the sun was rising. So they had one take a day to do like this three to four minute shot, right?

Which was a highly advanced skydiving technique and skydive, uh, skydiving sequence where what happens is the first shot is like the camera guy had to literally fly out and Tom Cruise had to fly out and he had to catch up to the camera guy to like I believe a few inches because it needed to be in focus right he needs to catch up to the cameraman and stop midair at the right length for the camera to be in focus right before going off past the cameraman. And that's fucking insane. How insane do you have to be to choreograph? I want to see all the takes of that. Huh? I want to see all the out takes for that as well. I'm just like Tom Cruise is running into the camera. It's my head first. Yeah, it's definitely hearing him talking about it and now

watching back to the sequence, it's definitely given me way more of an appreciation to some of the shit that he does on screen in his action movies. Because I haven't seen Top Gun, but I thought everything was also done with the same kind of mindset where we're not doing, we're not, you're not using CG, we're doing as much of this in real life as we possibly can. The jet stuff was crazy in that movie. Yeah. What was the action scenes like in that movie? Oh, like nuts.

Like you do, because it's all like real jets, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. At least for most of it. And yeah, it's just crazy scenes, like really cool, uh, like choreograph scenes between two jets as well. Like, yeah. I don't know. It's just a great movie.

Go watch it. You'll love it. If you, if you, if you have an appreciation for that, you'll, you'll like, talk. I mean, I loved the original top guns. Yeah. Yeah. It's not as homer erotic sense. It's not, oh, which is, you know.

I don't know what I want to watch it then. I don't know if I want to watch it. Yeah, well, because this one's more of like, he's like a mentor. I was ready to take my fucking top tier boxes with me as well and everything just to be extra, yeah, you know, first one is just about, you know, him being struggling with his gay identity,

which she didn't want to have seen that Quinton Tarrantino? Yeah, I love that one. I love that one. Wait, what? This is good short, like, where Trenton Tarrantino is just fucking talking about how Top kind of secretly a movie about gay guys or something. Yeah, like someone, like someone,

discovering the homosexual side in TopGun. Yeah, isn't it just a movie about the boys playing volleyball? That's all that movie is about, right? I just want to play volleyball, beach volleyball with the boys. Yeah, I gotta show you this clip after this, after this recording, because it's the most Quentin Tarantino clip you could ever fucking imagine. And just, what's funnier is just, you see this clip,

you scroll down to the comments, and it's just, it's sometimes YouTube comments, like, they double the entertainment of a fucking clip. They're like, sir, this is a Wendy's. That's so good. Oh my God. Well, no, like, another film I watched recently, because I don't actually watch many films.

It's everything everywhere all at once. I watched that as well recently. Fucking incredible film, man. Came out the same time as Dr. Strange, and it's way better than it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, my God, it's such a good movie. Choose which multiverse fucking multiversal badness

and multiversal. The main goal is the same actress in, Crushing Tiger, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Michelle Yo. Yeah, the movie was amazing. Yeah, I didn't know she could speak English. Yeah, me either. Oh, she speaks good.

Yeah, yeah, well, now I know, now I know, because I've been crashing tiger, she doesn't, right? Well, I'd, because she's a really, really famous actress in China. I've only seen her speaking, you know, Mandarin or Cantonese. So I didn't know if she could speak English or not. And, yeah, I didn't realize, like, how much of that film is spoken in Chinese. I thought it was, I fucking loved it.

Yeah, it's really, really cool. Yeah, because there are some films, like, what's the other film? What's the film where it's a girl meets a really, really rich guy, and it's like also based in, like, Asia and shit. Not the one of Jack Chan, right? It's quite a lot of Jackie Chan. But they meet a rich guy.

Yeah, I was like, uh. Help me out here. Nabby, help me out. The one that was filmed in Malaysia. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the one of Jackie Chan is also filled in Malaysia. Oh, fuck. Is every Asian romance just like fucking filmed in Malaysia?

But Romeo and Julia? I have to have to look at it. Oh fuck, Michelle Yo was in that as well. Completely forgot. Yeah. Oh my God. Of course you can speak English. I'm a fucking clown.

Oh my God. It's on the fucking tip of my tongue. While you're thinking about that, though, like, I think the one thing I really appreciate about everything everywhere was just like how, I mean, for one, it's fucking hilarious. Yeah. Like, but actually, like, it's on the. but it's not like cheesy, I guess.

Yeah. And also it's just really fucking shot well. Yeah. It is. It's almost like an, it was almost like an art house film. If really, watching that gave me the same vibes, not exactly the same like tone, but the same vibes is like watching The Matrix for the first time where they just had this really, really interesting idea.

Yeah. Right. And they turned it into, they took this concept, which in the matrix was it's all virtual world and you can break the rules of this virtual world, become a Kung Fu master and all that. Yeah. I had that same kind of vibe way as this really... Like anything could happen. Yeah.

This anything could happen. Yeah. And it was a really interesting concept and they explored it in the most interesting way possible. Yeah. Well, like everyone cared in that movie. Like every little detail that it felt like it was really done to the utmost. Mm. You know, even some of the fight scenes, like the camera angles were crazy.

Oh my God. Some of the caro feels crazy. Yeah. I mean, we know that Michelle Yo can fight, you know. Yeah. It's been in a lot, in a lot of action films. Such a movie. So it was just, yeah, it was just a fucking amazing movie. Because it's like, I feel any other movie would like take the same concepts that everything everywhere had.

And would just like really fucking dumb it down to the point where you wouldn't be able to take it seriously. Like the bagel for instance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, like that. Like that scene was like, I remember when I was watching that, I was just like, oh, okay, this is kind of dumb. But then by the end of it, I was just like, no, the bagel. Like I was so invested in it. And I was like, don't go into the bagel.

And I was like, and I just like stood back. I'm just like, What am I saying? Why am I invested in this fucking bagel? Yeah, it's one of the most refreshing films I've seen in a very, very long time. I mean, speaking of Matrix, you're saying, I also watch Matrix Resurrections.

Whoa. No, is it, Resurrection. Resurrection. Revelations is the, uh, fucking needs a resurrection, bro. Yeah, oh my, no, it did not need a resurrection. Okay, if Top Gunn is the perfect example of a lot, you know, a long franchise coming

back in a modern way and it be successful. Yeah. Matrix Resurrections is the opposite. Where they just tried to throw in as much fan service as possible and it tried to be way too meta to the point where it's just fucking dumb. I think there's only like one person in the world that enjoyed Matrix Resurrection. And that's the one person who wrote that script on fanfiction.com. Yeah. Because that's what it fucking felt like.

Oh my God. Did you watch it? I watched it. I haven't watched it. Just the whole meta of the fact that. It sounded so bad. Just the whole meta of the fact that like Keanu Reeves's character, is the one that, like, he's a game developer

who created the Matrix games. And then, like, Sony Entertainment is just like, we want you to make the next Matrix game. But it's actually the movie that you're currently watching. I don't know. I think we might have, I think I might have mentioned it. I feel like I've had this conversation. I can't remember if it's been on camera or off,

but I think that someone gets my... Yeah, the one thing, though, that I think pissed me off the most... What are you about it? Yeah. Yeah. I think the one thing, though, that pissed me off the most more than that was the fact that they replaced Smith and Morpheus with two different actors.

Yeah, yeah. And I'm just like, I want Lawrence Fishburn. I don't know who this other guy is, but he's not, he's not my Morpheus. Well, Lawrence Fishpren's in John Wick. Yeah, but, but I, that's the new matrix. But I was like, where's Hugo weaving? I want the Hugo weaving, Mr. Smith.

Not this fucking like. Because when you have Lawrence Fishburn and John Wick when they meet in the thing, you can feel the energy. Yeah, helpful. You can tell. You like, you like fucking, yeah, how you do it? It's good, it's good. I heard, though, that, like,

they didn't even, like, hit up Lawrence Fishbird for this, like, new movie. It's like, how could you not? Like, he's such a pivotal... Yeah, they hit him up for John Wee. But, like, he's such a pivotal actor in the Matrix franchise. And same with Hugo Weaving as well.

Yeah, yeah. And they replaced Mr. Smith. Instead of Hugo weaving, like, Chadmo, they replaced him with this fucking, like... He's a frat boy. He's a frat boy. Man's a human fist bump. Like, what the fuck did they do to him?

Yeah, he's like the Silicon Valley, like, crony that you would never want to be friends with. I'm just waiting for John Wick 4 now. Because they got a, it's a trailer recently. Oh really? Yeah, it's got a announced. I'm pretty sure.

Yeah. End of 20, 23, maybe. Hopefully they're done into a Matrix Resurrection on it. I'm sure it's gonna be one, two, and three were amazing. I'm sure four will be amazing. Yeah. Have you watched John Wick?

I've watched the first one. Yeah, I've watched the first one. Yeah. And I do want to watch the other two. I just haven't had the time. I don't watch many movies. I don't really know what's going on, but it's such a joy to watch.

Yeah. I think because it's such, because I never go back and watch the previous movie. So I remember one quite well because plot was simple. Yeah, right. And then two, something happens.

Yeah. And I'm not sure. And then three, I'm just watching it. And I'm thinking, yes, but the choreography is just amazing. I mean,

you basically just describe the Matrix as well. It's so good. Like the fight scenes are so good in John Wick. It's such a joy. Going back to, going back to everything everywhere

all at once, what I was trying to remember, the film I was trying to remember, to remember was crazy rich Asians. Oh, yeah, yes. I was genuinely going to say that as a meme, because I thought that was... No, that's literally.

I didn't think that was the movie you were talking about. Oh, no, no, no. I was going to meme and say that one. Well, because I was thinking, what other film about Asians? You said the word rich in Asians, so I was like...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I was like, I should fucking know this. He literally said rich Asians, and he would say... 60% of the title, and you're like, what was it called? I was like, what's the one of the rich Asians and...

And they're kind of crazy. That's what I was going to say it as a meme. I was like, there's no way it would be that movie because he would have remembered. No, because there's only really one fucking movie about a rich, rich Asians. I don't know. I don't watch.

One of them, like, meets a rich person and one of them's poor or whatever. Oh my God. It was crazy rich Asians. But one thing that took me out of that film was the fact that pretty much everyone spoke English to that film. Right, right.

And that's what, That's what took me out of that film. That's one thing I've really, really liked about everything everywhere all at once. Because I remember the scene that took me out, the most out of Crazy Rich Asians, was when the mom was talking to the son, and she was speaking in English.

And I'm like, there's no fucking way this would happen. Even if they're bilingual, if a mom is scolding a son, you know for a fact she's using her mother tongue. There is absolutely zero fucking way that she's going to be speaking English. And one thing I fucking love, is that they didn't give a shit in everywhere,

everything everywhere all at once. There was such a mix between subtitles where they were speaking, they're speaking Chinese or Mandarin and there was, you know, sometimes the daughter would just reply in English. Yeah, that's what I like, even in the opening scene when like the husband and the mom are talking to each other,

like half of it is in, like, it's like a perfect mix of like Chinese and then English and then right back to Chinese again. Like that's so accurate to realize. That's what it's like. That's what it would be. be like, yeah, yeah, we don't speak English. Like, some people speak English.

Sometimes it's a fucking mix. Sometimes your mom says something to you in her mother tongue. And you reply in English because you can't be asked to fucking. Yeah, all the, even though like the setting for that movie is so fantastical, the dialogue felt so real. It's, it was so grounded in like, it was, it was so grounded in reality as well, in a sense where characters actually acted, like how I recognize, like, I recognize how they do in real life.

Yeah. and everything as well. Yeah. And yeah, it just made me, it just made me fucking happy to see my culture represented in this way, you know? It's, yeah.

Just, you know, fucking, yes. I mean, I feel like shows in general that interweave languages into the story are generally just like, I mean, you have to, you're already going out of the way so much to do that, right?

So like stuff like narcos, Breaking Bad, all those kind of shows that they get a lot of Spanish actors and stuff. Yeah, yeah, exactly. It just makes the world so much more believable

when you have characters that would be bilingual or would speak X language in that setting. Yeah. And it just shows that like, oh, somebody cared a lot about details. Yeah. You know, I don't give a fuck if I have to read some subtitles for two seconds. We're anime watches. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Oh, no, you don't fuck, okay. Maybe you watch, maybe you need English subtitles. I don't know. Yeah, sometimes I do. Maybe you're watching English shows. You're like, I don't know. Yeah, it's like, oh, my God, yeah. Because, you know, obviously we're all bilingual here.

And so it was just so refreshing just to see, like the bilingual life, you know, be actually like represented in film. Because I feel like for the longest time, Hollywood was just like so scared of subtitles. Except it. Like the only place I ever saw it was like World War II movies. Some reason, World War II movies? Okay, German? Bad. We subtitled that, you know? Everywhere else is just like, okay, the bad guys are speaking English. And I don't know why, but they're just, everyone just speaks perfect English. It's funny just because like, as a director, if you're only fluent in English, you might not have the confidence to be like, okay, I trust that these guys

can do their thing. Yeah. I feel, yeah, now that you say that, that, that, was like the one, like tiny aspect of the last samurai that I hated was the fact that like, in some instances where I'm like, why are you speaking English? You are a fucking daimyo and you're just like busting out English to Tom Cruise. I'm like, that is not how we would have played out. Speak Japanese.

I'd like to think wherever Tom Cruise goes, people just start speaking English. Yeah, yeah. Like it doesn't matter who you are. And then they're like trying to like damage controller with like Tom Cruise is like, yeah, I can learn a couple of lines of Japanese for this film. and just say it in a really shit accent.

It's like, no, no, no, no. Yeah. Because I think, like, finally we're getting to the point where more like multicultural bilingual people have gotten their way into the movie industry and are able to handle this at a level that's, you know, satisfactory to the audience. Yeah, because before it was like, yeah, you know,

fucking Germans in World War II movies or Russians. I'm kind of thinking if there's any other languages that was like subtitled a lot or like, you know, any proper languages that you see. in a lot of Hollywood films, but it's... Because every other European language would just be like, oh, let's just get an American actor

kind of speaking English in that country's accent. Yeah, yeah. So it's like, if it was like a French character, you would never hear them speaking French. They would just speak English in a French accent. It's like, yeah, he's French, trust. Or if it was like a fucking Middle Eastern,

if it was set in the Middle East, then you'd never have a subtitled with those characters. You know, that was just a random woman at a stall that the fucking... Spoke perfect English. Yeah, that the fucking main character would be like running. or some shit like that, you know?

That's true. So yeah, watch everything everywhere all at once. One of the best movies I've seen in a long fucking time. I agree. I agree. Such a good movie. I'm trying to think if there's anything else I've watched recently. I still haven't watched it.

You watched it? You finished it? I haven't yet. I haven't yet. I never even watched Breaking Bad. What the fuck? I like the scene where Mike tells Walter to put his dick away. That's in Breaking Bad, right?

That's in Breaking Bad. Why do you love this? I don't know. You know when you discover like a video and you end up watching it like five times a day? You know, that's the, that's the put your dick away water meme for me. You just walk past like Gant's house

and the water. Put your dick away water. Like that's a joke. Why are you laughing so much to that? It's such a good meme. I like the scene where the guy says you can call me suss. I'm very glad that Breaking Bad memes

are still in. Like it's been, It's been how many years in Breaking Bad memes just do not die. I think it's because of better, it's because of better. It's been doing wonders. But all the memes are from Breaking Bad still. I know. Like they're all Jesse and, you know, there are some soul memes,

but it's finally all Jesse. Well, it's kind of getting to the point where Breaking Bad memes are kind of get into the point of like SpongeBob, you know, where it's, it just lives on in memes. And I don't know why the memes have just lived on. Like, you think that they would have exhausted all of the meme material because it shows like how many years old, but they still, like, The memes keep refreshing and they keep getting like good new memes and I don't know fucking how.

But yeah, like Better Call Saul, I've heard amazing things about it. Oh, so good. Sydney will not stop braving about it. It's so, so good. Yeah. You gotta watch. So it's not like a spin-off of Breaking Bad or? Prolog.

Prolog, okay. Says before, but it's about the lawyer. It's following his life. You say lawyer as if I know the character. Saw Goodman. Everyone knows Saw Goodman. I know the name Saul Goodman from the memes. Yeah, exactly.

You know Saul Goodman. Honestly, it's like the ancient meme of like soul and it's like it's so good, man. Like it's held up like as good as like it's as good as like breaking bad. Yeah, I've heard the- So, so good. I've heard the final season is like nutty.

It's insane. Yeah. And at the time of recording there's literally one more episode out like a few days. Yeah, but it's it's so fucking good. Well, Joe, you finally watched the boys, right? Watched as in the first two episodes.

Oh, okay, the first two episodes. But I highly am loving. Why haven't you continued it? I just haven't really had the time to sit down and watch it. Yeah, same much. The first season three was amazing. Yeah, but like, so far, first two episodes, so far has been fucking amazing.

I just love Carl Urban, everything you don't. Yeah, he's like one of my favorite actors. I still gotta watch season three. Oh, season two so good. Is it the best season so far, you reckon? I think for me, yeah, probably. I think out of all the seasons, it's probably the best one. Because I think I enjoyed season one the most.

I've only seen the first two seasons. Season two was... I heard season two was a bit of a slowdown, right? There was some really slow moments in season two. Season one was just like every episode was a banger. Season two had a good beginning, had a good ending. I think the middle was a bit, was a bit. Still waiting to watch season three

because Sydney wants to watch all of the boys together again. And I'm like, can I, can we just start? She's already seen it. Huh? She's already seen it. Yeah, she's already seen the first two seasons. But she wants, she wants to refresh her memory. Because that's a lot of time to put into refreshing your memory.

Just watch her like a recap on YouTube or something. Just go to movie clips. YouTube channel and just like watch all the clips of it. You do not need that. It's so excessive. It's like watching TV series, you get nerfed when you're in a relationship and you start watching together. You actually get fucking nerfed.

You get this, Joey. Yeah. Because sometimes you just want to watch your head by yourself. But like, I think like she would get less offended if I like slapped her mom than if I started the boy season three by myself. I'm the opposite right now because Aki just caught up with all of the, Stranger things, like seasons. And I'm just like, can we start again from season one?

And it's just like, fuck you. You, no. Watch it yourself, you little bitch. I'm like, all right, fuck. Yeah, because you watch The Crown together with Archie as well, right? Yeah, yeah. That's great. I love that series. I'm still waiting for the next one. I don't know. Sometimes I just, I just like watching things

at my own pace, you know, and especially now, there's time is limited. You know, free time is limited. And when, when I feel like watching the boys or when I feel like watching this TV series? You got to talk her out of that, that whole rewatching season one and two. You got to shut that. Yeah, that's a bit extent. You've got to shut that down. That's got to, you got to stop that right now.

No, no, no, no, Sydney. It's just not how we're doing TV. Once you've watched something, we've watched it, we can't agree on it, which is why I haven't started season. Which is the sole reason why we haven't started season three. Yeah, but just tell her, no, we're not doing this. But I'm married now, I'm married.

Yeah, that means you have more leeway to say, no, yeah, yeah, that's true. What are you going to do, divorce me? She'll be like, we're not doing this. We're not watching TV. Fine, fine. Am I the unreasonable one here? I think, I think she's been.

So why did you get divorced? She wanted to watch Season one of the boys again. Yeah. The accounts was like, diabolical. But you also watched Invincible, right? Yeah, yeah, I watched it. Oh my God, that was such a good serious.

Like, I knew I was going to enjoy it because of all the memes that I saw and just from like the concept of it because, like, you know, we were talking about Marvel before, right? And like, I am so much better. I am definitely in that camp of I am so fucking sick of the just tropey superhero. And then finally,

and then when I read about the concept for Invincible, I was like, oh, fucking finally. Yeah. You know, this seems way up my alley. And I watched it. And I remember, I think it was either you or you or both of you were saying like, yeah,

it's like a really violent series. Yeah. And I was watching through episode one, and I was just like, there's nothing really violent about it. And then after the credits, you know, the scene after the credits,

I was just like, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh. That's why I was like, oh, this is something special. Yeah, I was like, oh, okay, now we're talking. Hell yeah. And then, yeah, I binged it in like two days while I was in L.A. and it was fucking amazing. Such a good show.

Such a good show. I finally got to see all the memes in context. I finally saw the think mark think meme, and I'm just like, oh, that's where that's from. Okay. It's like, it's such a good feeling where you watch a series where you've only consumed it through memes. And then you finally see that meme moment.

And you're like, it makes so much sense now. That was- That was me with the entirety of SpongeBob because I didn't grow up with SpongeBob because we didn't have Nickelodeon when I was growing up, right? And I only actually sat through and watched all of SpongeBob

like last year or the year before. How much of SpongeBob is there? There's a lot of- Like five or six seasons, but like, oh. No, no, no, no. Is it all that? Is there? Yes.

But only the first four seasons, madam. Okay. Okay, so that changed a lot. Because anything after season four is shit. That was not. I watched all of SpongeBob too. I watched the first. How many seasons of SpongeBob is there?

13. 13. That wasn't a back pedal. That was like a whole fucking evolution backwards. That was, that went from Fortin. No, I will happily go monkey. I'll fucking learn how to moonwalk there with how much you fucking bunch of my statement

because like, like once I started watching, devolve my statement, I will go monkey statement on that. Because honestly, after like, I started watching season five and it just like, I don't know what happened. It's like with the Simpsons, where it's like, I don't know if they like changed riders or something like that,

but like, the creator left. Oh, the creator left. Okay, yeah, right, right. I thought his name. Oh, fuck. Uh, fucking, yeah, I know you're talking about. He left and like Nickelodeon took it over. Right. Well, they took it over anyway,

but I think he had no say in it anymore. Yeah. It's like a lot of the charm was kind of gone. Yeah. And it immediately, yeah, like it felt like SpongeBob and it was SpongeBob, but like the jokes just didn't hit anymore. Yeah. And I was like, oh, it was just like a sudden change. all of a sudden as well. And then Arki was like, yeah,

honestly, anything past this point is just kind of shit. Also, like, Spondrobe became, like, the face of Nickelodeon, so they, like... Couldn't get as risque in some... I think so. I don't know.

They rely on Spondriot. Like, I think, like, Nickelodeon's programming is, like, majority SpongeBob. Like, if you... Like, I don't know. It's not about as Cartoon Network. The only fucking plays Teen Titans Go.

When I was in America, I wanted to watch Carton Network. Yeah. It was just Teen Titans Go all the fucking time. And I was, like, 9pm and I want to watch something. And I'm like, What is this?

This is shit. Yeah. Give me the normal team Titans. But that's why like the early SpongeBob seasons were so good because it almost had like a red and stinky vibe to it where it's just like, it's some of the jokes I'm just like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Children should not be consuming this.

It's very adult content. What made you want to just watch SpongeBob? Because I finally got to the point where I'm like, I'm consuming all of these SpongeBob memes because they're fucking everywhere. Like, you know, like Breaking Bad, they're just like timeless memes. And I'm just like, I kind of want to know what the fuck is happening. Like I want to see these memes in context. Right.

I like how you like Thomas memes. It's like, put you dick away, Walter. Timeless, timeless. Timeless, it's a timeless memes. And so like, you know, I was just like, I'm finally gonna sit down and just like, because again, like I didn't grow up with Nickelodeon at all. So I had the same thing with Avatar

the Last Air Bender as well. Yeah. Like, I didn't grow up with that shit. So like three years ago. I finally watched it because at one point, like everything was on Netflix. Yeah. So I was just like, oh, fuck it, it's on Netflix.

I'm just gonna binge the whole thing. Yeah, it was fucking amazing. Well, like, because I haven't I haven't even seen SpongeDrop yet, so none of the memes make any sense to me. But yeah. Never watched it? I mean, I watched one or two episodes fully of SpongeBob. Again, I didn't have fucking Nickelodeon as a kid because I didn't have Sky TV.

Because if it wasn't on channel, the first four channels, then I probably wouldn't have watched it, unfortunately, because I didn't have cable. So I never got the chance to watch SpongeBob. And so I only know about it through memes. Yeah. And I've always assumed that not meant to make sense. Oh, yeah. It was on Welsh TV.

Oh? It was on Welsh TV with a Welsh dub. Really? Yeah. Well, what's Spongeball Square Pan's in Welsh? I don't know. I can't remember. I remember I said it really weird though.

And even as a kid, I was like, I think the English one is way better than this. But like, what I really appreciate about SpongeBob is the fact that, like, a lot of the jokes that didn't end up being memes, I think are even funnier than the ones that did end up being memes. Because it's like, again, it's like, it's like, the first couple of seasons of SpongeBob was so good because it's like, some of the funniest jokes are some of the subtlest ones. Yeah. Where like kids wouldn't get it,

but the adults be fucking cracking up about it because it's like, it's a little too clever for it to be just packed away as a children show. Right. I feel. Yeah, and it's great. It's fucking hilarious. I love Spongerable.

Yeah, it's, I can see now finally after watching, like the, all the funny seasons. Does it still hold up? Absolutely, it still holds up. Yeah. Really, really, really fun. are really funny. Really funny.

Yeah. How did you end up watching it? Because I don't know how you would watch it here in Japan. It was on one of the streaming platforms, I think. But I think recently now they took it off because I think Nickelodeon's trying to do what Disney Plus is doing where they- Is Nickelodeon Paramount?

I think it's Paramount, right? And Paramount Plus exists. The fucking thing is, there's so many streaming services now that it's just impossible to keep up on where everything is at. Well, it's because like since Disney Plus started popping off, it's like every other programming now.

It's just like, oh, we can do that as well. It's not just that. People are realizing, oh, people don't use Netflix anymore. Not as many people use Netflix anymore. Yeah. And yeah, Disney Plus apps has been like absolutely killing it in terms like sales and numbers, which makes me, yeah, it does. Disney's going to own everything.

It does make me sad. They're going to own literally everything. Yeah. We're going to be. I mean, we've kind of get ready for the national currency of Japan. Biggie coins. Disney coins. Yeah.

When's the. Disney cryptocurrency coming out. That's probably going to be a more stable coin than the yen. No, they won't settle for crypto. They'll have their own fiat currency. They'll take over like Venezuela or something. And they'll be like, we'll just buy it. Let's buy Venezuela.

It's like, what are you doing Venezuela? Mickey coin? Yeah, Mickey coin. And then that's it. I'm telling you, Disney's going to own everything. Yeah. Why? Like, it's scary.

They own so much stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But like, we've gone back, we've gone back to the point now where we, it's basically cable TV. again where you pay for so many streaming services. And you don't know where every streaming, you want to watch a show and I'm like,

I want to watch X show. And I'm like, where do I watch it? Yeah, which channel is on? At least with cable, you kind of got everything. Now you can't get everything. Yeah. Now I'm like, oh, fuck, I kind of miss having the bundle where you got everything in one.

Now it's like an individual cable for each stream. I just like, I do not. I just don't, it's gone back now where I'm like, I just don't want it. pay for all these streaming services. Like I have Amazon Prime just because I want Amazon Prime. Not because I want to watch shit.

I don't, I'd rather like pull my eyes out than use the Amazon Prime video service. It's awful. It's so bad. Yeah. And then Apple TV, fuck off. Absolutely no.

I'm not, one, I don't even own anything Apple. So even if there's a show I want to watch on Apple TV, like Severance, how? How do I watch it? I will pay money to watch it,

but I'm not buying an Apple thing and I'm not buying an Apple TV. So like, now I can't watch it. You want to watch something else? It's on Paramount. I don't even know Paramount had something. Yeah. And then CNN had their own thing a while back.

They colossally failed. Did they? Yeah, they did. It was awful. And then Hulu? Who? Who? More like, who ass?

Yeah. In America, it's fine. But, like, outside of America, it sucks. And then, like, what else is there? There's Disney Plus? I don't care about Disney. I don't want to watch Disney stuff. Yeah, you're not missing.

If you don't care about, like, Star Wars or Marvel, there's literally like no reason. Then maybe I want to watch one TV show one time. Yeah, exactly. Oh, fuck me. Exactly. The thing is, I agree, we have actually, not just devolved. It's worse now.

Because at least with cable packages, you could cancel all of them at once. They came in a bundle. So you could cancel the bundle that you wanted, right? Now you don't even know, like, how to cancel most of these services, right? That's what I'm fucking, hey. It's easier to cancel cable services than it is to cast your fucking subscription for one of these services. It's an absolute fucking nightmare. Well, now there's subscription services that will manage your subscription services.

That's how out of control subscription services gotten. Are you actually serious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's like apps where you put in all your stuff and you can manage them and it'll tell you when it's news and stuff. Yeah. What if I want unsubscribe from that? That's how bad like this just got, like people just,

like, I actually, I genuinely believe it's way harder to like manage your money now than ever before because like, people are just paying for shit that they don't realize and you just keep forgetting until you get the money taken out. You're like, shit. Yeah. Yo dog, I heard you got subscription services.

Well, did you, okay. Did you hear the thing about the BMW cars? No. No. So, so, okay, you're, oh my God, you have you not heard of this. There's a BMW car, right, that you could buy. And when you bought the car, to have the heating seat, heating in the seats enabled, you need to pay a subscription service.

Are you serious? You don't heard about this? What? I'm genuinely serious. Like, look it up, you'll see. They, they were selling a car where if you wanted to have the seats be heated, it's already in the car. Like, yeah.

Just to a name. You can pay monthly. Yeah, how much do you have to pay? It was something, it was... A what? $18 a month. $18 a month? $18 a month.

For heated seats. Oh, you could be $180 for a year or $300 for three years. $300 for three years. Did you not hear about this? What? Yeah, I was like, that one actually like, I never had a visceral reaction.

When I heard that, I was like, you have, no, no, no, no, no. At one point, isn't too far. Like, what's name? We are like, would you like to open your window? We are living the dystopian nightmare. Yo, black mirror was fucking right, man. Well, it's because they've taken like

the Ryanair approach to cars. Yeah. I think their argument was that the car is cheaper for it. Yeah. We're selling it cheaper. But if you want, you can pay what would be the normal price, but you can turn it on. But I'm like, this is stupid

because surely after X amount of years, you'll have made a profit on the fact that I was buying heated seats. I just, I hate it so much. I hate the idea of, of paying a subscription for, oh God, it's just so dirty. Like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't mind, like, I wouldn't mind subscriptions so much if it was just as easy to, like, sign off, like, to just exit this subscription as it was

to enter the subscription. Yeah. But unfortunately, asshole designs, you know, you want to, you want to, you want to cancel the subscription? Oh, okay. Let's, let's hide this webpage fucking, like, five clicks in the small, in the small prints. And then you have to fucking even, like, the ones where you have to, Some of these UX designers should be slapped.

The ones where you have to email the service in order to cancel your subscription, fuck you. Yeah. Fuck you. Okay. Actually, actually, fuck you. If, you know, I can kind of understand if there's a button hidden away in the user setting somewhere,

okay, I can kind of understand. But if you have to go out your way to message the service to cancel the fucking subscription, that is, that's fucked up. Okay. Yeah, but then you just do the, you cancel your card. Huh? You just pull up your back.

Just cancel your card. Well, I know a lot of people use those. That's a brute force method. It's like I could turn off my TV with the remote. Or I could just pull the fucking thing out of the wall. Like you, on, I don't know about your app. One of my apps, it allows me to cancel descriptions from my bank. Oh, really?

So I can like tell it to stop and it'll just fucking pull my card out. Okay. But there's also, I know this. I thought you meant just like fucking setting your card on the fire. I know there's, I know there's a service, I don't use it because I'm too lazy, but there's a service where you can put your card into this thing, and every time you want to sign up to subscription,

it'll make a new card within this app. Yeah. Is that also a subscription? I think so as well. But at least then you can like, if you want to give an app your credit card, you can give it a card that you can just turn off any time. So if you want to like just hard, be like,

nah, fuck you. Yeah. I don't know there. I've never tried it. I don't know how good it is. I'm just talking out of my ass. And I've had it online. I don't know how good there.

It might also be a... Literally anything, anything is like... Like I bought those tile trackers, right? It's amazing, right? Great. But, but one caveat, and I didn't know this when I was buying it. There's, you don't actually get to do everything with this tracker.

It'll only tell you where it is now. And it has a function where it's like, do you want to see where it was the last 30 days? So you click, oh, view last 30 days. Oh, pay $3 a month. to see where it was a few days. Are you serious? Yeah, dead serious, I'm sure you.

And then like, it's just a bunch of other random shit and where it like jabates you into like, so if I go, oh, like smart alerts. Yeah, look, so if I go smart alerts, boom, it's like get more go premium. 30 pounds a year. Yeah, and it's like, I already paid a lot of money for these stupid things.

So like, why are you charging me a lot of money? I don't know, I don't get it. To me, it's like, do you hate me? What did I do to make you hate me this much? Yeah, fucking, we're living, we are literally like living the dystopian nightmare. We're gonna be like cyberpunk 27. Micro transactions for every necessity.

When is, when, when is like Gacha gonna be more popularize in the gaming industry? I think it's only a matter of time, unfortunately. I mean, it's already pretty fucking popular. Yeah, it's, what do you mean? It's fucking rampant. It's everywhere. Yeah, but I remember when Gacha games was just,

just like, oh, those are like the wee games, right? Yeah. And then everyone else was complaining about micro-transaction, but because of Genshin impacts, you know, unfortunately, I'm also a Genshin player, so I've, like, contributed to the evil, unfortunately. It's been zero days. Genskian Gensha is just, like, normalized now, unfortunately.

Yeah, I think it's gotten to the point where people... Or even in, like, other mainstream games? I think so. I think so. People don't bat an eye now about dropping 100 bucks on randomized fucking boxes. And it's fucking set. They just don't specifically call it Gacha.

Are you talking about Gacha or, Lootboxes. Both. Okay. Loot boxes are Gatchy. Yeah, that's the same thing. Yeah, that's what I meant. They just don't specifically say Gacha.

Right. Like, they leave that terminology for the Weeb games, but like everything else just like, yeah, it just says another fucking synonym to that word and just pretends that it's not Gacha. Yeah. Right.

It's like, no, it's fucking Gacha, yeah. I think Gacha's hilarious when it's taking money from rich people. But when people are like broken doing it, I'm like, oh. Yeah, no, this is sad. Yeah. Speaking of subscription services,
