Starting point is 00:00:00 What's up G-Fuel enthusiasts? Welcome back to another episode of the Trash Tastes podcast. That's what you came up with? Yeah, I don't know. That is it. That is it. And literally just looked at the nearest thing next to him.
Starting point is 00:00:11 I was like, uh, G-Fuel. He's just playing I spy at this point. Well, welcome back. I'm with the boys, as usual, Connering Gart. Did you see by- I am Steve Handjobs there? Steve Handjobs, you are, yes. Steve Handjobs cosplay. I'm so glad that you're making that a character. I was like, every time I wear like a tuesday.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Turtle neck now? Yeah, you're Steve Handjobs. Why do you have showing turtlenecks? Cause it's fucking cold in Japan, okay? I never saw you wearing turtlenecks until this year. And suddenly this man's got a fucking... No, no, no, no, no. He's always worn turtles.
Starting point is 00:00:41 No, he has. Yes, he has. Fuck off. Basically, I, before, because I lived in Thailand, so, like, all the only, like, winter clothes I had were, like, turtle necks. And I were just, like, every time I come to Japan, the winter. First time I made Garni,
Starting point is 00:00:52 he was wearing like a black turtle neck. It's like, it's like, gone during summer, Neanderthal. Gone during winter, big brain, five head. I'm wearing the turtleneck mother. Like I've never, like, not gonna lie, I've never looked good in a turtleneck, so I've personally never worn it. And I think Garni's the only person I know
Starting point is 00:01:08 that actually, like, rocks a turtle neck. You have to be like kind of skinny, though, right, to pull off the turtone. You need to be skinny and you also need to have, like, a neck. Like a long neck. Sorry, Ed. Big Ed swing right now.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Yeah. I just imagine Big Ed in a turlnex. I just imagine Big Ed and a turlnex, and it just covers in the size. He just, he'll just look. It just looked like roll on deodor. I'm sorry, Ed. Sorry, we're taking cheap shots at you, man.
Starting point is 00:01:34 I'm sorry, you're questionable, Ed, but. Remember that was a thing in 2020, the big Ed thing? Big Ed, so many good memes. That was good. Can we just all agree that back in 2020, which is still when we're filming this, by the way, that my little Pog champ was the worst meme of 2020.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Can we just agree? I don't know what meme of the year was, but that was the worst. But it was definitely not that fucking meme. Let's just say that. That like, I don't know, that meme kind of, one, it came out of nowhere and two, it died so fast. Well, because shit.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I know. And I'm so glad that it was animated so that the poor person who voiced it didn't get fucking obliterated. Just you imagine if there was like a person on TikTok, it'd be like, oh my God, it's the Pog champ girl. I guarantee there's like a number of like girls who went on to TikTok and did like the whole voice.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Oh, yeah, yeah, there is. I'm not gonna look. Have you had like TikToks of people voicing over your videos? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So she wanted to do a lot of like anime character stuff. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they fully dress up in costume.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I've had people doing that of just like me talking, like normally. Like they would take a segment of me from like an answer. So you just get a fan-dub? Yeah. That's just a fan-down. Like I saw a bunch where it's like someone took like really old audio of me and like an answer me simple where I'm just fucking answering a question normally. And they're just like voicing over and acting over. I was like, I mean, there's, there's lots of other like audio clips you could have taken that's a little more interesting. Right?
Starting point is 00:02:59 Like, do you ever get people like impersonating your voice? I get that a lot. I mean, yeah, but that's because you have a distinct voice. I guess. I don't exactly have a distinct voice. There's a few videos out there where people like, like, like, I think I've mentioned this before on the podcast, right? Where they like go around on Discord, pretending to be-
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have crazy fans like you, so no. Yeah, and what? Do they just do like the most broken English accent? Hello, I'm Connor. Hello, oh my God, it's Seedog VA. And I'm like, what? I'm like, that is not me.
Starting point is 00:03:30 It doesn't sound like me. Why are you believing this man? Hello, Governor. Literally like a terrible, a British accent. Doesn't sound remote. But with the deep voice. Yeah, it just doesn't even sound remotely like, what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:03:42 Oh, yo, oh, yo, oh, yo, what's going on here? They'll be like, this is a C dog VA video this is. Oh my God, it's a real C dog VA. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, for Mike. There's, like, they'll, like, do. Yeah, exactly. So, people were, I'm personally like Sebastian,
Starting point is 00:03:58 but not like the actual Sebastian, though I'm personally like my Sebastian. The C dog VA Sebastian. But they'll be like in the American accent, how do fuck I do this? Cause I'm so ingrained to do some British. It'll be like, you know like Sebastian's catchphrase? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Simply one hell of a butler, right? They would be like, I'm simply one hell of a butler. And it would be like, and it was like awful because it would sound like a half English, half American attempt and it's like what? And then that was a diff, that was like layered like. Yeah. That was hard to do.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I was like, how do I break my own? 100% of your brain power to do that. A British person impersonating an American person, impersonating a British person. I'd be like, I would hear these voices they would do and I'm like, there's no way they're gonna believe that. And then the moment they do it, they're like, it's sea dog, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:04:42 And I'm like, what? This isn't me. And then there was someone as well who went on like voice acting website to be me called It's Connor or something. It's Connor. And they would go around making references to my videos. Like I fucking reference myself. Like I go around being like,
Starting point is 00:04:56 oh yeah, I just remember that time I was Sebastian, you know, good times. Like, who the fuck references themselves? That's, that's some like Tommy Wise-Oh shit. You know what I mean? Like, who actually does that? Like it's the only thing you have, right? It's like, I've made it now.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I'm done making new stuff. I'm just gonna reference myself until I'm, like, what? And people are like, shit, it's sea dog. Yeah. He said the thing, so it must be him. It infuriates me to death, because I'm like, if this is all it takes
Starting point is 00:05:23 to get you to believe this is me, I hope your credit card gets stolen. You deserve it. Like you had it comment if you think that's- Yeah, true. No, seriously, like, I haven't had people impersonating my voice, but I've had people like, you know, kind of trying to do it
Starting point is 00:05:37 by just speaking in a shitty Australian accent. Yeah. And sometimes the voice is totally not me. It's a completely different voice, but because they're speaking in like a semi-like, right, right. Oh, I'm fucking Australian, eh? It is pretty funny how like,
Starting point is 00:05:51 how much room people are willing to give for interpretation. I've not seen any TikToks, but I've had to get exactly the same like comments of like some random YouTuber who like is reviewing anime clips or something in a slight British accent and they're like, oh my God, it's gigac, it's fucking gigac.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And not just the thing that annoys me more actually is not on YouTube or TikTok, but it's on Twitter where anyone, apparently anyone Southeast Asian who posts like a selfie now who is also into anime is just like, oh my god, you look like gigac, you do. Oh my God, I have so many fucking photos of people like just like random Indian celebrities. And people are just like, yo, I thought that was Joey. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:06:31 Like I had a guy, my sister even sent me one. It was like, she found like on TV there was this like Bollywood like movie or I guess like some Bollywood show that they were like promoting on an ad or something. And apparently like one of the dudes just straight up like apparently looked like me and I'm like he's just the brown man
Starting point is 00:06:49 with like a beard. Like that doesn't make it. Apparently every brown man with a beard is me. Yeah, I get that with white. Like every white dude with a beard on TikTok, it's like for some reason. I was like, they say I looked like Cito. I'm like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:07:02 No. Is there like any moment where that kind of like, like, oh, that you look like so-and-so person has been kind of flattering? I've only had one example of that. And that's when people said that I look like, what was it, a cracked-out Jason Mamoa? It's like, oh, you look like Jason Mamoa
Starting point is 00:07:22 if he didn't work out. And I was like, yeah, you're like, And I was like, yeah, I'll take that. Jason Momoy was a fucking good-looking dude. I think I had like Benedict Cumberbatch once, but I was like, you know, like, Benedict Cumberbac. No, right, right.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I used to have, like, really big, like curly hair that looked similar to him, so my parents was a joke that I was like him. And I'm cool, because I was also like... British. Yeah, pretty. Yeah, I know. Oh, he's British, my kid, eh!
Starting point is 00:07:46 He's a British man, therefore he looks like better did cummabomboe. I was like, no, I don't. I don't look like that fucking man. I'm sorry. He's nice, he's fun. We like it, we like it, we have fun. Do I have one, Gant?
Starting point is 00:07:56 I don't know. Gant's too distinct. Yeah, there's a very distinct thing. Because like, nobody really knows anything about Southeast Asia. So now it's just like, every, it's like, we're like the new just like Japanese or Chinese people right now. Because now they're like Chinese and like Japanese culture
Starting point is 00:08:12 has been more like, and Koreans have been like more. Like, like, globalized. Like our Southeast Asians are just sitting here in our own corner being like, you know, there's more than like one country here as well guys, you know? It's gone from like, I can't tell the difference between Japanese, Koreans and Chinese, too, I can't tell the difference between Thai,
Starting point is 00:08:29 Filipinos and Malaysians, Malaysians. Yeah. Fuck, I feel called out. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But not, I smell like half the memes on like our subreddit, it's just like a different white person with a beard and it's just like, oh my God. It's Connor.
Starting point is 00:08:46 It's Connor. It's a monkey brain. I got no beard now actually. Well, I mean, I just shaved it like two days ago. Oh, wait. The amount of memes, though, of like you, the baby face is hilarious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I do look like a 10 year old without a beard. Someone fucking posted on the subredder this like old ass photo of me in a suit. Have you guys seen? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, why? How do they find that? Is it on Google?
Starting point is 00:09:07 It's on my Instagram, I thought. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's like the second ever photo I put up on Instagram. It was like six years old or something. You do look so sad as a baby. I know, I was like, fuck, how old was I? Like 20, maybe?
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah, you just looked at the kind of kid who was like, get me out of here. Yeah, I did, yeah. I regret putting that photo off. It's not a good photo. I mean, for me, I feel like I haven't changed much, like my look apart from, the only thing that's changed is the spikeiness of my hair over the years.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You've calmed down, you've calmed down. You can tell the giguck years by the younger I am, like the more spikes in the hair, like there are. You look at some of my first videos, and I look like fucking Saskey, man. I'm wondering, right? Like, how did you decide on that hairstyle? Because that's like, that's a look, right? Is that, like, hair you've had since we were young?
Starting point is 00:09:52 to a young or? No, I think, I can't remember. I just remember, because I have like hair that's really easy to be spiked up, right? So I think ever since I was young. What constitutes hair that's easy to spike up? Like light and, uh. Yeah, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I mean, like, could you spike up your hair? Yeah, easily. If I had it, no, no, no, because my hair, like, if I cut it short, I put a bit of water in it and it just like, immediately, like, naturally, it's just like, the fucking anime character spikey. A lot of, like, Asian hair has that too,
Starting point is 00:10:18 because like, my hair is also, like, quite strawy. So, like, if I put gel in it and it's just fucking up forever. Oh, I don't know. Like, yeah, no, I get that. But like, but then again, it's like, just because your hair can do that.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Doesn't mean you have to, like, to meet with it, right? Was it, okay, was it inspired by anime? No, no, it wasn't inspired by. What was he inspired by? It was inspired by, there's only, there's only so many hairstyles I could pull off and I had no idea what the fuck I was doing with my hair.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Therefore, look, it was the hairstyle that took the least amount of effort to do, because all that, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was not, okay, it was not, because like I said, my hairstyle is just naturally spikey, so all I would need to do, just put a bit of water, put a bit of gel, and just go,
Starting point is 00:11:01 no, because you had like, it was done. You had like, it naturally, like, it naturally went to that shape. Naturally Sonic the headshot. Yeah, naturally Sonic the headshed. I just woke up and I was Sonic, you know, like, what can I say?
Starting point is 00:11:14 No, because like, I remember in some older videos, your hair is like so, it looked like a wig. That's like, that's how, that's how perfect the spike I was like this man could pass off as like a side character in Yu-Gio. It was like you'd been watching too many like David Bowie concerts. And you were like, all right, I like that.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm gonna, I'm a mimic that basically. That's what it looked at. Yeah, I wasn't trying to mimic anything. I had no, I just had like no idea what the fuck. It was like some guy who was like trying to bring back like the 80s glamour scene. Because it's like, whatever the Mr. Anime, you talking about that video pops up.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Oh my God. It's so funny watching that and seeing God, just like with like this teenage hair. Yeah, just being really sad. Yeah. I feel bad, but like, because obviously you're my mate, I'm like, oh, that's funny. The thumb now, like, if you didn't know the context
Starting point is 00:11:57 and you just saw the thumbnail, it looks like the most, like, angsty fucking video. It is, it is, it is. I can't focus because your fucking hair is like Sonic the Hedgehog, when you're talking about, like, 60% of the frame. You're talking about, like, arguably like the most serious thing ever,
Starting point is 00:12:12 and you've got like this fucking Sonic hair. And I can't focus on it. Yeah, because I'm just talking about, yeah, this guy just like, kill his family. Yeah. Bro, that fucking hair though, that fucking son-a-air. Meanwhile, this man's hair has its own orbit. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Well, yes, welcome to trash taste where we are. We're trash on each other's haircuts. Now we're trashing on each other's haircuts. As good mates do. I mean, that's what we do. That's what constitutes as a man. Like, can you really call your mate a maid if they don't make fun of you after a haircut?
Starting point is 00:12:42 Okay, like, did you read, what age did you reach where you actually, like, paid attention and gave a shit about what you looked like. Because I was like really fucking left. Really fucking late. Yeah, because literally the reason I looked like that was because I didn't really give a shit about what I looked like until I got to like
Starting point is 00:12:58 my first second year of uni. Yeah, I was probably about the same. Did you ever have any interest in dating when you were, you know, in, no. You didn't never want to date a girl in school. I mean, I was on an all-boys school. I mean, of course I think. I don't want to do.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I love my boys, but not like that, right? It's like, yeah, I invite him to kiss ex-sist. Yeah, yeah. We don't kiss, we don't kiss. We'll have a session kiss ex-sex, I don't care what you look like, it's all right. Yeah. No, like, yeah, I guess maybe it's because I went to a boy school
Starting point is 00:13:25 that, not to say that I didn't hang out with girls. Man, I fucking would love to have gone to a boy school. Yeah, even got the pressure of having to fucking try and get a girlfriend, yeah, trying to get a girlfriend just because everyone else is getting one. Yeah, I mean, you know, not to say that I didn't have any interest in dating, but it's just like, it wasn't a priority for me. But I was speed running them in school, man.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I never had one that lasted more than like two weeks. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, that was school relationships in the night. I had won that lasted like three months, and the boys were like, damn, you lost three months. If you last more than- Three months is a long time. Yeah, that's a-
Starting point is 00:13:52 school, it's a long time. That's a dedicated relationship. Anything beyond a month is like, okay, I am dedicated to- they're probably getting married, you know what I mean? Exactly, it's like one step away from marriage, right, but it's three months like, damn.
Starting point is 00:14:04 My life's set already after this. I think I must have started paying attention to like how I looked at maybe, well, okay, I see how I looked, the hair, basically. Like everything else was like, what am I gonna wear a fucking school outfit, you know? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 My mom still bought all my clothes, so like, yeah. I know. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't start buying my own clothes until I moved out. No, same here, same here. Like my mom was just like, yeah, I got this nice t-shirt, it was like some shitty,
Starting point is 00:14:27 like $5 t-shirt from Target, I was like, yeah, fuck, I'll wear that. My mom still buys me clothes and sends them. Really? It sucks that she's fucking better taste than me. You know what's weird? Arki's mom buys me clothes, but my own mother doesn't anymore. Too bad, I remember us, we did a shoot,
Starting point is 00:14:42 like a week ago, and I remember Joey had to borrow one of your t-shirts. I'm just seeing Joey in one of your, like, t-shirts, I'm just like, this is such a Connor shirt. Because it was just like, it was just like a plain t-shirt. It's literally that, but a different color. It's a plain t-shirt in a drab color. And I'm just like, man, this just screams Connor right now.
Starting point is 00:15:01 It's a color that I would never buy and is a color that Connor would definitely buy. It's take, okay, this is gonna be one of those weird Connor things, right? Right. Only like last year, have I been open to the idea with owning shirts that have nothing but plain color. Right. For some reason, in my head.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Is it because you don't like logos? I hated logos and prints. They drove me insane. Really? I don't know, for some reason, it just looked cheap to me. And always, and that's, I mean, it's kind of like, it's kind of like, it's normally that cheaper these, these, these guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, it depends.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Because it, some, some, some of them can look very tacky. And I feel like there's a fine line between having a cool print and having, like, a cool piece of artwork that just looks tacky on a t-shirts. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, it's the whole concept of like simple as best. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes, you know, that's like the whole reason like all those like high brand shirts and shit like that are so fucking simple.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I mean, I think that's what changed my opinion of like fashion in general is like I have started to be more open to spending a bit more money on clothes. Because at the end of the day, it's like, all right, I'm wearing this shit for like how many months? Yeah, I'm gonna be on camera as well especially. So like I wanna wear shirts, I mean, you know, today I'll see.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I still got a little bit of the old me left. Yeah, obviously recently I've been like, okay, I'm willing to spend like, oh, I might spend 80 bucks on a t-shirt, which is unthinkable. to me three years ago. Oh yeah, absolutely. Because bear in mind, in university,
Starting point is 00:16:21 I used to go to Primark, which we don't know what Prime Mark is in the UK. I've been to Prime Mark. Yeah, so. Prime Mark's amazing, by the way. It's basically- If you're about shit on Prime Mark, I'm gonna fight you on that. Well, I mean, it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:30 I don't want to question how they make the shirts so damn cheap. I'm sure there's some ethical questions. Yeah. I remember I specifically bought eight T-shirts for 10 pounds, which is like $15. It's amazing. And I fucking love these shirts,
Starting point is 00:16:42 because they were all plain, nothing on them. And I wore them for like two years straight, these shirts. They were fucked by the end of it. For real, though, Primark is like one of the best low budget kind of clothing brands I've ever seen globally. Yeah, honestly, like the shit you can get
Starting point is 00:17:00 for the price at Primark, which I don't know where Primark's available internationally. It's in Europe, I think. Is it in Europe? Yeah, it's like if you want a budget place where you can just buy cheap clothes that don't look cheap, you know what I mean? Because people said Uniclo here is cheap
Starting point is 00:17:14 and we have Uniclo in the UK. It's not cheap. Uniclo compared to Prime Mark is like very cheap. Uniclo is cheap for the quality that you get. Yeah, yeah. Like you'll pay a little bit extra for like a t-shirt at Uniclo, but that shit's gonna last you like 10 plus years.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I bought a whole suit from Primark for like $40. But I've-30 pounds. The 30 pounds set, yeah. Yeah, I did exactly the same for my prom and everything. My graduation, I wore a $40 suit. And actually, I hate to say it, but it's like, it doesn't look that bad. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:44 It's not bad. That's the thing. I mean, Prime Mark, I basically carried my university years. You know what I mean? But there's a big butt. And a lot of people in the UK tend to also have the same mindset, I think,
Starting point is 00:17:54 where a t-shirt should never cost more than 20, 30 pounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I can understand, because if you know, you haven't got a lot of money, spending that much on one t-shirt, it's quite a lot, it's quite a lot. Yeah. But, you know, as I started to, I think that's where my hatred of Pritz started,
Starting point is 00:18:08 is that I thought a lot of these Primark ones are pretty fucking shit. Yeah, yeah. And they often do look super tacky. And I don't really like the collaborations. They have like SpongeBob and shit and then all that, you know, they're like, oh, yeah, we stuck a PlayStation logo on.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I think they're just starting to do anime as well. Yeah, they are. I feel like, was it last year where they did like a DBZ or One Piece collaboration as well? Yeah, there's been a lot of stores like that, like Forever 21 as well before they went under, like they did this like huge fucking thing with anime. So like every time I went to Forever 21,
Starting point is 00:18:38 there was always like this entire section of anime. But when you look at it, when you actually go over to it, it's just like, all right, let's see what they have. It's all like, Sailor Moon, Dragon Balls, It's always the fucking basics. Yeah, it's all the basic shit. Don't give me that shit. And it's not even done in like a creative way either.
Starting point is 00:18:52 It's just like, let's just slap the logo and the main character. Yeah, like doing anime clothes is really hard. And I'm probably gonna about to like call out like a bunch of our viewers by saying this, but like the ones I hate the most are the ones where it's just like, it's just a t-shirt with a wifu on it.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh, you know what I mean? Or like an anime logo. Like those kinds of clothes I call like anime convention clothes. Because it's, it's a t-shirt or clothes that I would only wear it an anime convention, but there's no way I would wear it. You know what I call clothes like that? What? Pajamas.
Starting point is 00:19:24 This is the only time I'm fucking wearing it is when I need to wear something in bed. There's probably someone watching this right now and like a fucking arson t-shirt to be like, oh, but I like this. Yeah, I mean, and then like, I think as well, going back to the whole cheap versus expensive stuff for clothes, like it's only because I think
Starting point is 00:19:42 because I moved to Japan and actually started seeing like some of the clothes that I like really like and it's like kind of expensive, but you're like, I am gonna wear this a lot. Like when I paid like 350 bucks, fuck for that Diavolo, sorry, King Crimson jacket. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when I bought that,
Starting point is 00:19:56 that was the most expensive thing I'd ever bought, like clothes-wise and I thought, oh my God, this is insane. But that's- this peak. This is insane, $350 on a fucking jacket. Okay, it's sexy, look on screen, it's sexy. But now that I've been wearing it, I wear it like pretty much every day.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah, like I'm like, okay, if I'm wearing it every day, you know, and I get like maybe four or five years out of that. That's like 20, 20, 20, you're getting it back for you. I understand that because I always thought that way with tech, right? Like to me it's like don't buy a $20 headset, buy $100 at least. Yeah, because you're gonna get your money's worth. And I don't know why for some reason took me so long
Starting point is 00:20:28 to have that with fashion. And I think going back to the whole topic, which is school and why I didn't give a fuck, is because I just didn't care for clothes, I didn't really understand fashion at all. I mean, who does? I mean, I, I, I, there was always that one kid in your school who somehow always fucking dressed amazing to shit.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Do you don't have that kid? I didn't have that kid. I didn't have that kid. did not have that kid. I always, I don't know, I had kind of like a similar view of fashion which is just, I didn't get it. I didn't understand anyone who would spend above like, yeah, $20 or like $30 on the T-shirt. I think my mom would like scoff if my,
Starting point is 00:21:03 if an outfit was over a total $50, she'd be like, look, get a lot of this guy. Yeah. I think that's the thing though. It was that, at least with me, there was this like, because it was a boy school, but there was this whole, I guess, like stigma of if you dress well, if you dress well, then you're gay. like that whole shit, right? So I think people just, I'm sure there were boys
Starting point is 00:21:21 who actually did give a shit about fashion and did it, but they didn't want to with the, because they're probably worried about getting beaten up. And like, I get that, you know? Like it's like, yes, a fedora might seem quite fashionable, you know, in the common eye, but why would you wear that if you don't wanna get bullied, you know? Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Like I like wearing fedoras. I think they look fucking cool with the right outfit, but the problem is, I'm gonna agree with Joe. Really? Yeah. I feel like the big problem with fedoras is that the fucking neck beard community just ruined, completely ruined that image.
Starting point is 00:21:57 This is like the Hitler mustache. You can't wear it because Hitler's ruined it. Well, exactly. It's the same thing with the fedora. You can't do it because you're gonna, everyone's like, in-sal. That's the thing, that's the thing. But it's like, but that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I feel is that a lot of the reasons why fedora is just commonly seen as that type of, you know, negative thing is because the hat itself is fine. It's what you pair it with. that just makes it look like absolutely dog shit. Well, you're either gonna look like a neck beard or you're gonna look like a rip off Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 00:22:22 There's like no in between. I mean, I'd rather look like a rip off Michael Jackson than a fucking neck beard, right? But like, I've seen... Then you can truly enjoy your lolly wife's. I'm out, I'm out. Like I've seen, like, fashion magazines of like dudes who like, you know, wear a fedora
Starting point is 00:22:38 or like a hat of some kind that's similar to a fedora in like a really nice suit. Yeah. And they can match that shit really well. But those are like the most fucking attractive men on the planet. But that's what I'm sure. saying, right? And that's the other problem is that there are no attractive men who wear fedores. I'm just saying, I'm just preaching to the choir right now, but you know that's true.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I mean, I'm not going to lie and pretend I know how fashion works, you know, I'm no fucking fashionist. No, we're not fashion. God's fucking Thailand's next top problem. Fucking Steve Handjobs, like, let me teach you about fashion. I mean, I feel like having that one kid in school who elevated the game really fucking. Elevated the game. He elevated the game. the game in school. He was the benchmark. He was the trend set of bro. He's really making me look fucking bad, you know?
Starting point is 00:23:22 When he turns up with his jeans with holes in them, I'm like, how can we compete? I don't have holes in my jeans. Oh, wait, because you guys didn't wear like school uniforms. No, we did. No, we, we wore school uniforms. Oh, okay, yeah. And we had some days where you could,
Starting point is 00:23:36 you would pay for like charity. Yeah, you would pay like a pound to dress in normal clothes. Why do we do that? I don't know. Well, yeah, we, so, yeah, we so we have this thing, in UK school was called Own Clothes Day. Yeah, right? Own Clothes Day.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Where we have like one day in like the term or something where we could just come in in our own clothes. I hated it. Oh yeah, we had that. Yeah, yeah, we had that. I was speaking to Sydney and apparently like she, in her high school, they didn't have school uniforms. No.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Yeah, they just- Because American high schools don't wear uniforms. Yeah, yeah. School uniforms are big brain because you always wear the same shit every day. Yeah, right, it's great. You don't have to worry about like, oh, I wore the same t-shirt for three days in a row
Starting point is 00:24:15 because yeah. Yeah, that's a big reason why I didn't give a shit about fashion until like later in life. Which is because most, most days of the year, I was wearing a fucking school uniform. Yeah, you know what I mean? And although, although I say that, the fashion, like, whoever designed my school uniform, like,
Starting point is 00:24:32 deserves a slap because like, okay, so in our high school, like, you have to wear, there's a set piece that you have to wear from when you're seventh grade to 10th grade. And then when you enter 11th and 12th grade, you're like senior. So you get to wear like a senior blazer and like long pants and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:24:50 The senior uniform is fine. It looks dope as fuck. It's basically just a suit essentially. Right. But the junior uniform is a little, because for one, everyone has to wear shorts. Okay. Because you know, it's hot most of the year in Australia,
Starting point is 00:25:08 so you wear shorts. But then on top of that, you have to wear long socks. Okay. Yeah, I'm talking like up to, like the fucking, like knee, long socks. Like anime girl longs. Like anime girl long, like, these like gray, like knitted, like long socks. Someone had a fetish.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Yeah, someone had a fetish. So like basically there's just these like seventh to 10th grade kids running around. We're basically just only showing their fucking knee. Was your school run by like Herbert the Pervert or something? I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna get into that. But yeah, so I fucking hated that.
Starting point is 00:25:44 But, and of course, because, because I went to a private school. If you didn't wear your thing properly, you'd get fucking punished for it. So it's like, oh, I can see your shins. You're gonna get a fucking slap for that. You pull your socks up. It's like, yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:22 no, primary school, then secondary school, then sixth form. Which is part of secondary school normally. Kind of, kind of. So like our high school is secondary school and sixth form like put together. That's like the same. Why does a skip from two to six? No, no, okay, so it's called secondary school
Starting point is 00:27:38 because it's the second school that you go to. Right. So and then you start at age 12 and then you can, oh, it's mandatory now, right? You have to do sixth form now, right? Yeah, yeah. So it used to be you could leave at 16. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And you could go and, you know, you could go and work or you could get an apprenticeship. And then there was always an optional if you want to go to university, you have to stay an extra two years. Yeah, which normally has about, at least in my school, like half the kids left at 16. Yeah, so in Australia that would be junior high and senior high. Right, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:05 So it's like we have high school, so we have primary school and high school as well. And high school is from seventh grade to 12th grade. The seventh grade when you're like age 12, 13? 13, okay, okay. And then you can leave at year 10, which is like, I guess, the end of secondary for you guys.
Starting point is 00:28:18 And then the last two years is senior high school. And that's like 16 to 18. And that's 16 to 18, then you go to uni. Yeah, so that's what it was like in the UK. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. And like when I was in sixth form, so I was in my last two years, they tried to introduce to the school like blazes,
Starting point is 00:28:33 because we didn't wear blazers. Yeah, we had blazes. Well, we were a public school, so blazes were like, oh, we'll get a load of these people. So, and there was like outrage because they were like, because, right, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:28:44 The school uniform, you can only buy from like a special place, right? You can't just get it on Amazon. Right, right, right. And they were charging like 70 pounds for the blazer. Right. And obviously this is a public school. And seven pounds, like 100 bucks. And for some parents, it's like way too much. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:57 So they were like, what the fuck? No, we don't want a fucking blazer. And there's a whole like outrage about it. Right. And then eventually they were like, fine, fine. Okay, because the older kids are leaving, they don't need to wear blazers. So I didn't have to wear ones. It was very fun watching.
Starting point is 00:29:08 So wait, it wasn't mandatory? So what was your school uniform in a... It was just a time. So, so, so, so, In England we call sixth form college as well, which gets a bit confusing. Oh, really? Because when we say, when we say college,
Starting point is 00:29:21 we mean sixth form, not most of the time. But you can go to college. You can go to actual college. No, no, where college isn't college. College in the UK is one or two years, right, of like a specialized thing that you can then use to then go to university. Oh, we call that something different.
Starting point is 00:29:36 No, we have that college, that's college. Yeah, but we have sixth form college and then we have whatever preschool university. Is that called? I believe those two of the same institutions, if I'm correct. Because in Australia, we don't even call it college. Like we don't use that word.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Well, college is, that's why I'm an American say, are you going to college? We're like, no, no, no, no. We're going to university. Yeah, we're going to uni. It's like the Winnie Phoo meme, where it's like, college, university. Because college is something entirely different
Starting point is 00:30:03 to British people. Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, I mean, anyway, yeah, they were outraged. So half the school didn't have to fucking wear blazers and half the young kids did. So that was fun. You could just be like fucking, you know, look at this fucking little 10 year old
Starting point is 00:30:14 is a little blazer. No, we fucking loved the blazer. Like, the blazer was the best bit. I don't wanna wear a blazer. Because you weren't supposed to, but the teachers got so fucking darn with it that you could just wear hoodies over your school uniform.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Man, they must have, like, wear the rules in this school, man. No, because in, for us in the winter, right, like, if it was just a regular, just white t-shirt underneath, it'd be way too fucking cold. Yeah. So sometimes you'd have, like, you'd have to wear the blazer
Starting point is 00:30:37 just to stay warm, because the other option we had was this like, our school colors were black and red. So, What are you fucking like the evil school in our walls? Yeah, right, like, so it was black and red. So like we had this like, if you didn't wanna wear a blazer, you had to wear this fucking bright red, white, like woolen fucking like sweater.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, we have something like that, but it was green, like moss green. But yeah, I know the exact color. But ours was like bright red, like the reddest red you can think of. So you just fucking stick out in a crowd, right? I mean, at least you had like pretty colors. Well, ours was like drab purple.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Yeah, but like, yeah, but the problem was is that, because it was like a wool thing, it was so fucking itchy. Like it doesn't matter how many times you wash that shit, you're just like, fuck, I'm warm, but ow, fuck this. So people were just like, fuck it. I'm just gonna like spend the hundred bucks on the blazer because it's, I don't wanna wear this itchy-ass
Starting point is 00:31:29 fucking like grandma's sweater shit. No, because I remember in my sixth form, I knew I was a fucking grown up in my sixth form. Cause like, we went to like the cool sixth form because they let us wear our own clothes And this was the big thing. We were allowed to call our teachers by their first name. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:50 That was like bringing up to the next level, man. Dude, like, we could only do that, but like, it was a fucking Kaiji gamble every time, right? It was like, fuck, do I call you Mr. Smith, or do I just call you James? Yes, I remember one student did that in my class and he'd be like, what fuck do you call me? You basically like said that.
Starting point is 00:32:07 I thought that so many times. Especially towards the female teachers. It's like, excuse me, Margaret, And she's just like, what the fuck? You don't you just call me? Holy shit. Bro, I remember, I said this flashback to something. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I remember I did like, so we had to do a presentation during, do you have registration in Australia? For what? Were you basically when you get to school, you did a separate class of, like registration to say that you're here and you've arrived. Oh, like orientation, stuff like that? I guess, yeah, orientation for maybe Americans.
Starting point is 00:32:37 It's like a quick 15 minute thing where everyone just goes and says, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here. Fuck, I forgot what that was called. It was called like, Is that registration? Home class? Home class? We had a Welsh room for it.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Right, right. Home room, that's it. Home room, yeah. That's American, fuck, Joe. Yeah. Now we called a home room, yeah. Well, we, in my school, would you call it registration English,
Starting point is 00:32:56 but I could get a Welsh word for it that I forgot, so I don't fucking know. But we'd do like a short presentation. What? Between like, it would always be one of the students presentation each day. Why would you have to do a presentation? On what?
Starting point is 00:33:07 Just about something you fucking learn. It's just about the fucking pretentious bullshit. At the start of the day? Yeah, you have to do a quick presentation about something you've learned. Oh my God, that sounds awful. So I was like, I was like 14, right? And we all fucking hated it.
Starting point is 00:33:20 And this teacher was horrible. So my best mate in school had a really bad, like stuttering problem. You got a lot better now, but everyone, like, loved this guy. Everyone just wanted to see him do well. And this one teacher was so fucking rude to him about his stutter. And it was so, and everyone was like, yo, all my homies hate that teacher. So we were all just like, we all took it in turns,
Starting point is 00:33:38 like trying to see how much we could troll in these presentations. Yeah. I was like, you know what I'm gonna present? 9-11 conspiracy theories. I shit you not, I shit you not. And I dead ass think I got the teacher to believe me. Right. And I'm like, so I came in, I was like, moon landing, fake.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Like what is the biggest conspiracy theory? Like this, like Steve Jobs in a TED talk, right? I was like, listen, look at this. I did the wingdings thing with the flight number. And I was like, look, it's two towers, and the star of Israel, I rest my case. And everyone was like, everyone was like, no way, is that right?
Starting point is 00:34:19 Because everyone's like 14. The teacher wasn't that, it wasn't that, they were like, what the fuck, this is insane, whoa. And it was just so fucking funny. Cause I never got told off for that. Really? No. I think for some reason, I think they thought
Starting point is 00:34:32 I was super genuine about my belief of it. But obviously, they didn't want to like, trash on your beliefs. You just said it with enough conviction that they were still like, he must be right. It must be fucking right. It wasn't just like the way. I think said a bunch of other stuff,
Starting point is 00:34:44 but that was like the big piece of evidence where I was like, look, Microsoft planned 9-11. That's so funny. I do not know how I got away with doing that, because that is bad. Yeah. Fucking hell. I don't know how-
Starting point is 00:35:02 We didn't do anything during like home room. No. I feel like the school just implemented that to give the teachers their 15-minute smoke break before the beginning, right? Well, it's because our teacher was one of those teachers, the one who did it, because we didn't have any lessons at that,
Starting point is 00:35:14 but she was always that one who was like, you should be constantly learning and advancing yourself. And I'm like, hell no, I wanna play Modern Warfare too at home. What you gonna fucking prepare? Dude, like for us, like Home Room was just coming together and just fucking getting on our shitty iPhone 3s and playing Doodle Jump together. Like that was the only thing we did.
Starting point is 00:35:31 I don't think I even had like a Home Room segment or session. Segment of the second. Segment of the fucking school day or whatever you want. Thinks it was life in episodes. The Home Room, Mark. Season one, season two. Oh my God. I didn't have anything like that.
Starting point is 00:35:48 But yeah, let's talk about some current topics that aren't just nostalgic trips back to high school. We talk about high school and shit so much. But I mean, it's some fucking funny stories. It's the prologue to our life. It's great memories. People listening to this who are still in high school won't understand, but once you're out of high school,
Starting point is 00:36:05 you'll understand. You'll look back on them. Man, you sound like such a grandpa saying that. You'll look back to your high school one day. I remember back in the day when we only had three our phones. No, but what's the, I guess the big news, quote-unquote? Yeah, other than attack on Titan. Yeah, other than Attack on Titan, of course, everyone's fucking loved it. Probably gonna be all news by the time this episode is.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Yeah, everyone's fucking loving that. But I guess like some news that is more industry driven is the whole Funimation and Cruncherol thing, right? Got bought up by Sony. Yeah, so Sony buying out Crunchyroll. Yeah. Basically having control of like most of the the big anime companies in.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Basically just monopolize the Western market. I mean, it is, it is slightly worrying from an art when you hear that initially. Yeah, yeah. That's a lot of market share that Sony has. Yeah. Like how would, at what point would it be considered a Sony, like, I guess for a monopoly if they had like Netflix, right?
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah, I feel like if they had Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Netflix, then it would be like, came over. Then it would be like 99% basically. Because basically, I think the only other company is probably Senti Filmworks who do high dive. Yeah. And- Is High-Dive still going? High-Dive's still going.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Shit. Fuck, hi-dive, I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I guess it's not available outside the US, right? So it's- No, it's available in the UK as well. Is it? Yeah. Fuck, I didn't know that. But I, the problem with High-Dive is that I don't know how many big, like, exclusive titles that they have.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I mean, how can you compete, right? Yeah, because the only, the only thing that I've watched, like, the only big exclusive I've watched out of High-Dive is probably Legend of the Coles Galactic Heroes. And that's like, that's like a fucking old, old. No, like the old. Oh, the OG one.
Starting point is 00:37:47 So they're the only service that have licensed the OG Legend on the Galactic Heroes. Oh, wow. And I feel like, I don't know how many other exclusives they have outside of that. I've never used high-dive. Yeah, because I know Made in Abyss, I watched that on Amazon Strike, back when that was a thing, remember Amazon Strike?
Starting point is 00:38:04 Remember Amazon Strike? Have Amazon stopped buying anime now? Because like, I don't know what anime they've been. they're getting anymore. They've got anything? No, they're still getting. The problem with Amazon is that they can- They buy one big show.
Starting point is 00:38:16 They want, like last year they had Vinlan Targa. Yeah, yeah. But the big problem with Amazon is that they sometimes get big shows, but I- They don't know how to market it. I fucking hate, like, watching anime on Amazon, because they, I don't know what shows they have half the time. Right, right, right, right. Like, they actually have quite a lot of anime,
Starting point is 00:38:33 but nobody knows about this, because nobody fucking watches anime on Amazon. Yeah, not to mention that, I think just the general problem with Amazon is that they don't know how to market it. Yeah, yeah. Like you find out usually secondhand from someone who's like, oh, I watch Vinlan Saga on Amazon
Starting point is 00:38:48 and you're just like, Vinland Saga is Amazon, what the fuck? I mean, Amazon is Vinlan Saga? Yeah. Like actually watching it isn't bad. Like the player's really good and I don't know like what fucking conversion they're using, but like man it looks crisp as fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:00 But God damn is it horrible to use their fucking platform. Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit, dude. I'm like, am I renting this shit or am I like streaming? It's not clear half the fucking time. Exactly. Yeah. I didn't mean to rent Borat.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Why am I watching Barat? I try to watch fucking anime. What the fuck, Amazon. Fucking shit. And then also, because now, obviously we're using, I'm using Amazon Prime in Japan. Yeah. Amazon did that fucking pro gamer move of being like,
Starting point is 00:39:24 yeah, no subtitles for other languages outside of this country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if I wanna watch it, I have to buy Prime, which I have in Japan and Prime in the UK or the US, which is just fucking stupid. Does Prime even work for you here? Like UK Prime work for you here?
Starting point is 00:39:38 No, you can't do that. Because it doesn't work for me. No, no, you need to use, you have prime, but it's probably Japanese prime, which doesn't offer any English subtitles. Yeah. And obviously because they're like, we don't want people going on to other countries
Starting point is 00:39:48 and buying stuff, which kind of makes sense, but also why? Like, who cares? Like, it's 2020, I don't know why licensing laws haven't caught up to the fact that it's a global fucking media now. If you're not gonna, if you're gonna limit it to one country, people are gonna find a way to,
Starting point is 00:40:05 you know, find other ways to watch it because people are gonna watch it, whatever happens. Like, most people, Like, because I see these threads on like, on Reddit where they're like, bro, if you buy Netflix now in Turkey, you can get it for like $2. And I'm like, but that seems like a lot of fucking effort.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Like, do I really care about that much? Oh, I'm glad that if I put all that effort in, I can save a whole $4. Yeah, and then you gotta keep using a VPN when you log in to do that shit anyway. So you're already paying for the VPN anyway. Yeah, and it's like, oh, it's not worth the fucking effort, man. Like, do I really need this?
Starting point is 00:40:35 No, I don't, who cares? Like, I'll just, I just want it in the country that I'm in, I don't have to fuck around with VPNs. Don't make this hard for me. Yeah. And Amazon obviously made it. They're like, how do we make it as hard as possible? Every single.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So that no one used to. How do we make it so that you accidentally buy a dildo instead of watching Vinlan song? That's basically like the Amazon Prime experience. Do we have any like, I guess, because there is very little information about the whole like Sony acquisition. Right. Yeah, I mean it's still very early days now.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Wait, Malene, how much was it for? How much was, because we don't know. Funimation buying, or Sony buying Funimation or Sony buying puncher? Both, both. So Sony, when they bought 95% of it. That's right, they did do that, didn't it? 143?
Starting point is 00:41:25 For Funimation. For Funimation. For Crunchy roll, it's around 1.2 billion. Fuck. Wasn't Amazon only like 900 million? Can he say that number again? One point two billion dollars? That's more than...
Starting point is 00:41:43 GG CrunchRoll. That's more than Amazon bought Twitch for, yeah. Jesus Christ. Oh my God. The question that I want to know... 143 for Funimation. Yeah, yeah, that's already surprising. But like the biggest question I have is like...
Starting point is 00:41:56 It's like, all right, cool, Sony, you have all this fucking money, right, to spend on Crunch Roll and Funimation. That's fine. But in my opinion, it's just like, what are you gonna do with it? Is the question. I mean, I guess... Because when Sony back in the day bought the 95% of Funner's, or whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Like, not gonna lie, they didn't really do much with it. Yeah, I haven't seen much of a change from Funimation. I don't know how well Funimation was doing back then. Right. But it seems like they've just gone on business as usual now. Yeah. 1.2 billion for Crunchyroll just kind of sees how much they're investing in anime, I guess. Because they must see the potential in the anime industry to get to like shell out this big of a market.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I guess maybe they're willing to throw that much money because they realize that there is is a massive competitor now and that is Netflix. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I guess when you put it into perspective of like Twitch was bought out, but that was like how many years ago was Twitch bought out by Amazon? Like 20, probably around the same time
Starting point is 00:42:50 that Sony first bought Funimation. No, it was earlier than that. Was it? I think it was like 2016, right? It must have happened, 2015? Really. Yeah, but still. What did it happen, Malian?
Starting point is 00:42:58 Can you Google it? Yeah. 2014. Okay, too, too fair. Twitch was like the fucking big shit back then. Yeah, so Twitch was 970 million. But I guess Twitch is 2014, 970 really makes sense.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Twitch nowadays, pretty worth like five, six times. Oh, easily, yeah. Yeah, but that was, I would say that, you know, which at that point, comparing Crunchyroll now to Twitch back then. Twitch is still bigger. I would say, like, Twitch was like a hot property because everyone was expecting YouTube to buy Twitch.
Starting point is 00:43:28 I remember back in the day where it was just like, where it was just like, yeah, everyone was like, well, Google was gonna buy Twitch, that's just a natural move, right? And it was a big surprise when Amazon kind of stepped in. And then Jeff Bezos was like, JK, I mean, I'm a step, I mean, that's been great for creators, though,
Starting point is 00:43:42 that, like, that happened. But I'm curious as to why, do you have any thoughts on my, why this might be good or bad for anime fans in general? I mean, I'd say as a consumer, it would probably be better because, okay, well, more money in the industry is always better. Well, it's not only that, but I remember,
Starting point is 00:44:00 I would say like the golden age of like anime streaming was, remember when you could get every anime, you could conceivably want to watch on one platform, which was Crunchyroll back in the day. and then it kind of just like got spread out to different streaming companies. I mean that was inevitable, that it was gonna happen. It was inevitable.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Yeah. But I, you know, the biggest thing I find annoying isn't just the fact that I have to pay for like different streaming companies. It's just the fact that nowadays, when I see it, when I go through the, when I go through an anime chart, I literally have no idea which anime's gonna be
Starting point is 00:44:30 on which platform. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I was specifically says like Prime, for example. Like I just want to like log on to one service and be like, okay, I just wanna, don't care how much I'll pay for this service, I just wanna wanna, I just want to watch all the anime
Starting point is 00:44:43 I want to watch in that one service. Well, it's, it's like confusing because I thought Jiu-Zitsu Kaysen, is that correct? Yeah, yeah, was on Netflix. No, that's on Crunchy Road. It's on Crunchyroll. But it is on Netflix. Is it?
Starting point is 00:44:53 In Japan. No, in Japan. Oh, in Japan. So it's really confusing living Japan because I'm like, wait, who owns what? Because, like, because obviously it's, it's pretty much Japan, rest of the world. That's how like the market works, right?
Starting point is 00:45:04 Obviously. And it was really confusing because I'm like, wait, wait, where do I watch it there? Like, you know, I realize Netflix doesn't offer English probably for that reasons with the licensing, right? Fuck, it's a mess, though. It is a mess. It's like, how do I, how do I know where to fuck I'm watching what?
Starting point is 00:45:17 And then everyone's just laughing being like, ha-ha, piracy, you know, like, TVXD. Yeah, I mean, I wanna pay, I want an easy service. I mean, I want a convenient service. Like, I'm willing to pay for a convenient service, which for the longest time it was until it wasn't. And now it's like, you know, I wanna support the industry, but at the same time,
Starting point is 00:45:36 it's just like, if I'm having trouble finding which service has got which I literally have to, there is a dedicated search engine for this, which is like, I think the name is like, because Moe or something, that's the name of the website, but that's literally a dedicated search engine to search which anime is on which streaming service. I love that someone had to make that.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Yeah, I know, right? That really is telling. It's like this fucking pre-order, like, like a spreadsheet. Like what you get in what pre-order? It's like, I don't fucking know what's on what? Fuck me. Well, then, would you say then in that instance that, I guess like a full,
Starting point is 00:46:10 monopoly of the Western market onto one service is a benefit? I mean, it's not the monopoly though, is it really, because Netflix is. Right, but that's what I'm saying though. Like if, for example, Monopoly's always bad. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. But for example, if Sony, hypothetically is like,
Starting point is 00:46:26 hey, we want to like buy the anime side of things from the Netflix's thing, right? That would truly, I would say, turn it into a monopoly, at least in terms of the Western market. That would be awful. That would be awful for anime fans, right? That would be awful for anime fans, right? Yeah, it would be awful for anime
Starting point is 00:46:40 but at the same logic that Garland was saying, it would all be on one platform too. I mean, that's kind of like the fucking Disney argument now, isn't it? Right. Like, yes, all my characters now are gonna be in the MCU. Yeah. Yay for Monopoly, right? You know. Oh my God. It's like, with the whole Disney shit,
Starting point is 00:47:00 it's worrying because if everything's on fucking Disney, we only get Disney-esque products. Right. I don't want fucking Disney shit. I fucking hate Disney. That reminds me of the other day when I was I don't know how true this is, so take this with a grain of salt, but somebody was saying that there's a rumor that Disney might be acquiring Shonen Jump. Oh my God, no, please no, please not. Seriously?
Starting point is 00:47:23 I don't know how true that is. Fact check this, Mayling. Yeah, please, can you can you fact check this because he sounded pretty fucking convincing when someone, like people in the chat were talking about it, but apparently Disney is thinking to acquire it because they want to do a collaborative thing between my hero, and the MCU. No. And I'm just, and in my head, that's gotta be a fucking troll. Yeah, if it is a troll, then- That's got to be a troll.
Starting point is 00:47:49 If it is a troll, then I've fallen for the bait. But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Disney actually wanted to do that. Dude, I can't understand this. Well, because, like, think about it, it's like MCU's superheroes. My Hero Academia. Superhero's. It's a match made in heaven, according to Disney, right?
Starting point is 00:48:07 Bro, I can't wait for when, like, fucking all might show up in Avengers 5 or something like that. Yeah. Oh my God. You don't see it? All right, Joe's bullshitting. Joe's bullshit. Oh my God, you know what that would mean though?
Starting point is 00:48:20 The fucking like Thanos versus Goku memes would like become real. I'd become like a legitimate talking point. It would be horrible for like a realistic standpoint, but my God, the amount of shit posts and memes that would come out of this would be fucking nip. Again, like take it with a grain of salt. It might be a troll. It might be a real. I might be talking out of my ass, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:42 That just means like every MCU conversation would end with, but Goku could be, yeah, but Goku could be Captain America. But could Goku beat HIV? That's the, I mean, I can't, I don't really like the way Disney does things with properties and it's worrying that they're acquiring so much, right, yeah, that they have so much control
Starting point is 00:49:04 of the things because, yeah, a Disney movie is streamlined and it's nice, but you don't, you don't get the weird shit from Disney. Right, but that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, like, when I heard about that supposed rumor or bullshit, whatever it was, like, I wasn't, like, immediately, oh, that's bullshit. That's never going to happen. Because there is a very likely chance. It very much might happen. Yeah. And if it does happen, then it's going to be really bad for anime. Like, anime is going to get fucking boring when that happens. I mean, what I was saying now is that so, like, we can basically break down, like, the main place to be Crunchroll Funimation, Netflix, like, CrunchRum Funimation and Netflix. and there's, you know, there's, you know, Sentii film works doing their own thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:43 But I will say that putting those two together, like, they do have very different brands. Like there's, you know, sometimes you watch an anime and you're like, yeah, this seems, this feels like a Netflix show. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, B-Stars felt like it belonged to Netflix. Yeah. Devon Man Crybaby felt like it belonged to Netflix.
Starting point is 00:49:59 What I would say when it was like CrunchRole versus Funimation is that they have like exact same branding. Yeah. So I'm just like, oh, Kagiyah's, Kagya's on CrunchRoll, then on Funimation, like, like, season two's on Fonomashu's on Funimation's like, you know, because like they were both trying to acquire the same shows. It's the same type of consumers, I feel, that use both Funimation and Crunchroll. And, you know, not to say that CrunchRoll users don't use Netflix and vice versa, but I feel that like, yeah, as you said, there's like a certain, I don't know what the right word for it is. Edginess?
Starting point is 00:50:29 When it comes to shows on Netflix? I don't know. I don't know what the right word for it is. Netflix is that, that cooler older brother who comes in and is like, hey, you ever played a Game Boy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that, you know what I mean? Like that vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we've obviously done work with Netflix, so we're, you know, but this is totally like separated
Starting point is 00:50:49 from that. But I mean, that service is the best, man, like, I mean, obviously the Netflix jail stuff fucking sucks. Yeah, and sometimes, at least in Japan, the subtitle differences, again, as we obviously know. Right, right, right, yeah. That sucks, but, I mean, you use that player
Starting point is 00:51:04 and it's like, you can't beat that shit. No, no, you can download it, and now you can do audio only on, on the mobile, which I love. Because you used to have to keep, when I used to listen to stuff on Netflix, I used to keep my phone open in my pocket, like the screen going.
Starting point is 00:51:17 But now you can just do audio only. And it's like, oh my God, it's like, they know what I fucking want before I do it. Okay, but the question is then, what would you watch? What kind of content would work for audio only stuff? Like documentaries? It's not about that.
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's just like, sometimes right, I'm like, I'm in a situation. I couldn't do that for anime, honestly. No, I'm in a situation where I can't look at my screen for like just two minutes. Yeah. Because I'm like, maybe I'm getting off the train, maybe I'm walking around real,
Starting point is 00:51:39 I just wanna lock my phone, but I wanna keep listening, it's got my headphones on. I get you. So just quick little moments where you just wanna turn it off, but you don't want like content to just stop. Right, right, right. Honestly, the big thing for me for Netflix is the skip opening button.
Starting point is 00:51:52 Skip opening. They've also just added the two-time speed, 1.5. Oh, really? So now you can, if you wanna be a bastard and watch anime two times. I know it's a fucking cardinal sin to say you could skip opening, anime openings, but that's made it so much more easier
Starting point is 00:52:08 to watch some of the anime. Because let's be honest, let's be honest. But they do it automatically for endings. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can physically tell them, no, no, don't. Because every time the great pretender ended, I'm like, no, let me listen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I love this one. I love this one. I fucking love this. Sometimes you do watch the ending, and sometimes you do listen to the opening. Yeah. But let's be honest, most of the time, you want to skip the opening. You watch the opening once, and it's another generic J-Spot opening.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Especially if you're like binging. Yeah. And I love binging anime. Like, I don't watch anime weekly. So for me, like, unless it's a fucking banger an opening, which is there's always one or two shows every season, but it's not every fucking show. For me, like, B-Stars was one.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Like, I always fucking listen to the B-Stars opening. B-Stars, fucking amazing opening, mob psycho as well. I'm just like, no, no, no, don't skip it. Just leave it. Just leave it, let it play. Yeah, come on. I want to watch this. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Yeah, like you said, like the great pretender ending, which is like, of, you've always got time for Freddie Mercury. Yeah, of course. Come on, you've always got time. Never skip Freddy Mercury. What time is it? I've got time, regardless. You know what I mean? And you can download episodes.
Starting point is 00:53:07 You could do that on Crunchy Roll now, I think. You can pay extra to download and CrunchRoll. I have never tried it, so I don't know how good the service is. Because I know you could do it on Funimation, but it didn't work that good. I mean, that was always the biggest complaint in Fanonation, right? It said that the website was garbage.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Yeah. As far as I know, I can't use it, don't live in the US. What do you think the plan is with Sony? Like, why do you think they decided? That's a good question. I have no fucking idea. That's what I've always wanted to know, again, right? It's like what is it about Crunchroll and Funimation
Starting point is 00:53:39 that Sony was like, we'll drop a billion bucks on this. Sony has a movie division. That's pretty, I think a big branch, a big part of that business. So do you think we'll start to see like, maybe like funding Sony original anime on Crunch Roll and Funimation maybe? Maybe, I don't know. Maybe, because they have to compete
Starting point is 00:53:56 with Netflix originals, right? Yeah, I mean, right now, I mean, Sony kind of, Sony are already on like the production committee to a lot of anime. Yeah. Including like big anime's, like, I think isn't it like the demon slayer? Oh yeah, they could be.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I think they find a demon slayer? Because that's aniplex, right? Yeah, actually, I might be talking out my ass here. Yeah, which company did the Sony own? Is it Annieplex? Aniplex, yeah. Yeah, Sony owns Aniplex. Oh, Aniplex is a lot of hands.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I'm pretty sure that I'm pretty sure Aniplex was with Demon Slayer. Yeah, they usually with like the majority of the big shonen. I mean, they only make sense that they'd wanna get a big grip on the Western market. I mean, if you're funding this shit, you already have a lot of say over it.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I mean, I think right now, I don't know what they play. but I think the amount of money they threw at it just shows how much potential they see for the anime market, right? Yeah, for real. I mean, it's a gold rush right now, I think really. Like, I think all the companies are fighting
Starting point is 00:54:47 to get control over the Western market because they realize like, this shit's big. It's like an IP race, right? Just to see how the IPs they can grab, essentially. While it's still young and it still has it fully settled, right, which is now, like, why wouldn't you just fucking throw money at the shit and try and get your, you know, get all the IPs, get all the foundations up?
Starting point is 00:55:03 I mean, do you see like anime becoming as as big as say like gaming or like other things in a few years. I do. Yeah. Maybe maybe not like anti, but. Yeah, maybe not. Hey man, man. You just wait, you just wait, boy. You just wait, you just wait.
Starting point is 00:55:19 You just wait till I drop my original hentai and then we'll see how big again. Yeah, but listen, right, there's everyone watches porn, right? But there isn't no like Avengers of porn. No one's discussing like, there's no podcasts about porn. I don't think actually maybe there is. You know, there's no, there's no big discussions about porn I'm like, oh my God, what's, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:37 who's Johnny Sin's gonna fuck next. Johnny Sin's just the Captain America of porn. Like, there's not gonna be that God. Get your hopes down now, all right? I mean, I don't know, man. Isn't like Porn Hub, what of, like in like the top 20 most viewed sites? Well, they just gutted their library.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah, they just destroyed like 60% of their library. This episode is sponsored by E.J. anime store. Do you know what E.J. stands for? And same in Japan. Katakawa's official online anime merch store that delivers exclusive merch to overseas anime fans directly from Japan. Some of their products are only

The first figure is the ReZero Petra Latee Party version. This figure includes an exclusive bonus, gentlemen, a letter written by the author of ReZero Light-Lars.

Starting point is 00:56:31 I want it. Additionally today, we have a bit of a special introduction. As some of you may know over the span of three days at the end of November, we released a series of streams on each of our Twitch channels as a part of a speed run competition in which we had to put together
Starting point is 00:56:41 one of the EJ anime store plastic model kits, which is this box here, and we had to see who could do it the fastest. Also known as the Sordat Online figure rise standard Asana Dengiki Polkolor Limited version. I said that in one take. Let's go. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And if you've already watched the streams, you already know who won and lost. Absolutely getting destroyed. I thought I was fast. And then Connor was like, no, no, no, no. Hold up. Hold it. Okay, so I didn't know this before, but we have a forfeit that the loser had to do.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And Malin is about to present to me my forfeit. I've seen it, and it's gross. So that's a black... It's a black coat of chilling. Meilin, what the fuck did you buy for me? What is this, Maylene? Yeah, that is a black cobra chili right there. This is not what we agree to.
Starting point is 00:57:31 What is this thing? What is the giant water butt? You should have gotten good. I'm not gonna fucking forget this. This is May Lynn's idea, by the way. Wasn't our idea. Look at this shit. Look, oh, fuck as, fuck as it.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Oh, it just flipped over. Can you hold on up to the camera show? Yeah. That's disgusting. That's, I could not wanna eat that. Good luck, Gond. So, while Garn enjoys it on his fantastic meal for the evening, EJ anime store will be giving away one lucky winner,
Starting point is 00:58:01 an Asana figure set with a wall scroll, signed by the three of us for free. Oh shit, look at that! What? That's pog! It's got our signatures on it. I have to act excited now. Look, it's the loser's signature. Oh yeah, right in the corner.
Starting point is 00:58:15 All you simply have to do, guys, is follow their Twitter at EJ Anime Store, like and retweet their tweet that contains the TT Asana Speed Run and then retweet the post. It literally smells like swamp. This is what I was trying to figure out what this smells like. You know what it smells like? It smells like liquorish. And once you do all that,
Starting point is 00:58:32 you will have the chance to win the Asana Plastic model with the signed wall scroll, gentlemen. Oh, wait, say that again. So how do you eat this mail-like? So you tear off its head, do you want me to do it for you? You tear off its head. And then you take off its wings. Oh.
Starting point is 00:58:56 And then you- Oh, there it is. I'm gonna fucking, I'm gonna fucking puke. You just give it a suck and that's it. What the fuck is that? Just give it that good. That good suck.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Wait, can I smell it? Ooh, that's strong, isn't it? So if you miss the stream, watch the archive on our Twitch channels as a reference to build your own model. Both the regular version and the special bonus wall scroll set will be available on the EG Anime Store website.
Starting point is 00:59:26 So check the links in the description to speed run it yourself. Please try and beat our times. How is it gone? How does it take? He just spurned out. He has the worst fucking after. I need some, give me this G-fuel, man.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Wait, do you want to do it? Do you want to eat the cobra chili instead? There you go, eat that. I'm fucking dying. What the fuck? Why did I just do that? That's what you get for mozing around in a speed run. I want it to get, honestly?
Starting point is 00:59:54 I can smell the chili from here. Honestly, the chili is like a fucking breath of fresh air compared to what I tasted. My mouth is on fucking fire right now, but it feels better than a fucking water bug, man. I don't know, I don't know why, but I kind of want to try it. My latter just try it. Yeah. Oh, hey, Connor, there's one for you as well. Oh, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Wait, so what are you doing? You rip off the head. Rip off the head, take out the wings. So wait, what is this used for? What is this fucking thing? Oh, God, that's very juicy. Yeah. It's like salty...
Starting point is 01:00:25 Oh, God, look at that. I don't want to look at that. Don't show me. Don't pry its asshole open in front of me. Wait, let me try. Oh, God, Joey. It literally tastes like salty swamp. That's, that's literally what it like...
Starting point is 01:00:38 You spit it out? Why did you spit it out? I just swallowed it. Yeah, actually, you know what? Well, thank you each anime store for sponsoring this episode of the podcast. Fuck you, Maylin. Back to the episode. Back to the episode.
Starting point is 01:00:59 All right, I'm fucking bored talking about anime. Fuck, fuck anime. We're not even an anime podcast anymore. Imagine talking about anime on trash taste guys. I feel like I'm attempting to be the Winnie the Pooh meme, like the high class when I talk about anime. I'm trying to form opinions. I don't have opinions, right?
Starting point is 01:01:16 I don't have well-formed opinions, right? I don't have well-formed opinions about things. What, do you think we do? I just say what I feel, okay? I mean, you don't have well-formed opinions about anything. So like, like, anime, food, gaming, like, let's be honest here, let's be honest here. I went on a little rant on my stream the other day,
Starting point is 01:01:33 just being like, gone is actually like, your parents didn't beat you enough. Because, like, because, right, listen, he was allowed to get away with not eating crusts, right? If I didn't eat my crusts. Oh, I think I saw you talking about. If I didn't need my crusts, right, you know what my parents would do?
Starting point is 01:01:48 They'd be like, that's fine, Connor. You have dinner ready for tomorrow now. And I'd be like, well, but mom, I don't want them. She's like, no, Connie, you're eating fucking crust. You're not wasting food. Who says that I didn't get my ass beat for not eating my crust? Did you?
Starting point is 01:02:00 Did you, were you like fucking Spanacus? Like, mother, I will not bow to the crusts. Because I had gone. my entire fucking childhood having to like being forced to eat my cross. So as soon as I was a fully grown adult who can make my own fucking decision.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I'm gonna be, I was, I was like, Mother, I do not care what you think anymore. I'm going to not eat my crust. I pay my own rent. I pay my own bills, I buy my own food. Fuck you, mother. All I'm saying is you should have got a backhand a little bit more, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:02:29 Yeah, yeah. It should have been a little harder. That's such a bad joke, I'm so sorry. There is, there is something. that like I didn't fully appreciate as a kid or like I didn't fully like like not cross good food not cross but like we're not getting into food by the way we're not getting into food again but like I was yesterday fucking cleaning the house and I fucking hate cleaning the house I don't think anyone in their entire life lies cleaning the house and I didn't realize why my parents
Starting point is 01:02:58 fucking basically just every parent manipulates their kids to be like their personal slave when it comes to like cleaning the house well That's the reason why they used to have so many kids, right? It was like they gotta plow the fields, right? I intend to keep that British philosophy alive when I have a kid. So like seven kids. He needs to plow the fields and clean the house
Starting point is 01:03:17 and prepare the food. Connor's gonna like min-max that shit. Be like, all right, my house has six rooms, so that's six children I need to have at least. One per room. I'm not gonna beat my kids, by the way. That was a distasteful joke. Just saying that now.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yeah, because like, why is the like, Why is the like activity of cleaning just so awful? Like it, like, does anyone, who actually enjoys cleaning the house? When you do it, when you have like, you get rid of a lot of dirt, right? That's why I let it build up. I let it get like gross. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Because when you clean that shit, it's like peeling off a good scab. All right. Oh, it's so clean. Yeah, but I need to see like a physical layer of dust in order for me to be like, yes. Dude, when you swipe a whole layer of dust off with like a wet wipe or something, damn that feels good.
Starting point is 01:04:06 That takes that shit. I get like a quarter chub at least. Yeah, but I don't like cleaning. No, no, because like, yeah, that is a satisfying feeling. But my problem is that cleaning just shit, like I never knew as a kid how much fucking time and effort it takes to clean.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Like, because, okay, when you're a kid, you just clean your own fucking room, you hoove the living room. I didn't even do that. Oh, you lucky motherfucker. You lucky motherfucker. I would, but then five minutes later be back to where it was.
Starting point is 01:04:33 So my parents are just, Just like whatever. Like I still have fucking Vietnam flashbacks of my mom calling me like, I know she's about to ask you to who for the living room. I know it, I fucking, I don't wanna come down right now. This time I haven't Vietnam flashback. But yeah, like, like I realize as an adult,
Starting point is 01:04:48 the act of cleaning just like, it takes you all day. And like the reason I hate it is because it feels like, you know when you do something productive. Like you do like a hard day of work or something. Or like even playing a video game, you feel like you're making progress with your life. I don't know about the video game. No, no, like, like, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:05 like, for me, when ever playing, like a first person game, like a single player game, you're like making progress with this story. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, something like that. I don't know about that. Like a JLPG, right? Yeah, they're like a JRP.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Yeah, I feel you, I love wasting my time. With cleaning, like the whole, the entire concept of cleaning is that you're working towards making things zero again. You're working towards zero. Yeah, you're working, you're working towards making things normal again. Oh, what happened? Oh, switched off.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Sorry. Joey laptop is shit. But yeah, you're working towards making the default state zero again. And I'm just like, this doesn't feel good, yet it takes so much time and energy to do it. And no one prepared for, no one prepared this for me as a kid.
Starting point is 01:05:49 It's like shoveling snow in a blizzard, right? Yeah, right. It's gonna form back up again, so it's like, what's the point? I mean, I only used to clean, I'm like, this is how I would, I would decide if I'm gonna clean this day. Is somebody coming to my house?
Starting point is 01:06:01 No, I'm not cleaning. Is somebody coming to- That is still my statement. Yeah, is somebody coming to my house? Fine, I'll clean. You know what the best adult purchase I ever made was in the UK? It was a good vacuum.
Starting point is 01:06:12 I was like, you know what? What's all this hype around those dice and things? Like, what is all that hype? Because I lived with a friend. Just a brand. Yeah, I lived with a guy and his dad worked for the Henry Hoover's. You know, like the fucking,
Starting point is 01:06:23 smile-thed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if these are in America, but they're everywhere in the UK. Right. These things are like tanks. They don't die. But they also kind of,
Starting point is 01:06:33 They don't suck good. They should be sucking good. And I'm like, this guy in my house, I was like, I want to get a Dyson. And he was like, no, no, no, no, all you need is this thing. And he's like fucking slaps it. He's like, it's like, it's a fucking unit this thing is. And I broke it within like two weeks.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Yeah, that's, I mean, that's my own fault. What the fuck did you suck up? Well, that'll do it. I was like, oh no, I have to get a new one. Oh no, no, no, quick, grab the Hoover. Oh no, I have to get a new, a new vacuum. Fuck. So I bought a Dyson dude, that shit like cleaned up,
Starting point is 01:07:06 like it could have, oh my god, a carpet was a different color. I was like, what have I been doing my whole? Yeah, yeah. No, I never believed in that Dyson shit too until I bought one like a couple of years ago. I was like, let's see how good these are. And I do, I was like, all right, not buying anything else anymore. Like this is the one thing.
Starting point is 01:07:22 You crank that shit up to like, oh my God. It gives the good suck. The shit. The Max suck. Okay, here's how I could, okay, you know, this Dyson has all this bullshit about rotating fucking things. like 10 cylinder, it's a lot of shit.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Let me say why it's good, right? You know that one piece that always sticks the fucking carpet that doesn't come off? Dyson never has an issue getting that one crumb out of the carpet. That shit always comes out. Because the normal vacuums, they don't get that shit out. Like, there's always that one fucking thing
Starting point is 01:07:48 that for some reason won't come out. You gotta fucking- It's just like clinging onto the carpet with TILI for it. And then you're like, how many rollovers am I gonna do this thing until I just admit defeat, bend over, pull it out of the carpet like an animal and feed it into the vacuum, like it's some budget dog.
Starting point is 01:08:00 I'm like, here you go, come on, take a second. I don't like doing that. I don't wanna do that. I'm not a peasant. I shouldn't have to touch my carpet with my hands. That's disgusting. So yeah, that's how I can sell it to you. You will never have to bend over.
Starting point is 01:08:13 You'll never have to bend to the knee. Dude, it's amazing, dude. And that was like my gift to my parents that I went to Japan. Cause I couldn't bring it with me. Right. So I was like, parents, you can have my prized possession. Here's a vacuum.
Starting point is 01:08:25 He's a vacuum. I'm like bending over, like giving him like the sword of camelot. Like fucking, here you go, take it. Take my Dyson V12 max suck edition. To be fair, she thought it was all nonsense, but she tried it, she was like, all right, Connor, this is a pretty fucking good gift.
Starting point is 01:08:41 I'm like, you're welcome, mom. Which is like the biggest reason I don't cook or like I don't like cooking is because cooking, like I like cooking's great, I like the food. Cleaning up, man. It's like the ratio of time it takes to clean up versus eating good food, nice home cooked food. It just doesn't, it's, it's just doesn't,
Starting point is 01:09:02 It's not optimal. It's so sub-optimized. The entire, like the entire activity of cleaning is just sub-optimized in life. You've become like me, I swear, recently. No, no, no, no, no. You're caring about like the splits, the efficiency. Like, I've, because cleaning for me
Starting point is 01:09:16 has always been sub-optimal. Like, I don't know why this is the one activity in life that it's just like, this needs to be balanced. There needs to be like a balanced patch in life that just makes cleaning less effort. It's like doing a 20 minute side quest to get to a two-minute main quest. Yeah, because it just doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 01:09:32 It takes more like, it's a side quest that takes more time and energy than the fucking main quest. You finish cleaning and you're like, all right, time to get down to work. It's like, cool, I'm glad I spent 30 minutes cooking this thing that took me two minutes to eat. Yeah, exactly, right.
Starting point is 01:09:43 I order a lot of Uber Eats, obviously. And I caved and in Japan they have an Uber Eats pass where you can, if you pay $9 a month, you get free delivery fee. So there's no delivery fee, which is like two bucks each time. And I was like, fuck dude, am I really ordering this much fucking takeout? And I was like, yeah, yeah, I am.
Starting point is 01:10:01 And then I did it in my, I did this thing where like for three, for three times when I cooked, I timed it. I didn't speed run it or anything. I wasn't doing splits or anything. I wasn't like, expedited, it's 80%. I'm like, this is the onion split.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Oh, I got a gold onion split. No, I wasn't doing that. I just had a timer and I timed genuinely how long it took, right? And then I timed cleaning up, right? Because I wanted to know, based on my average earnings for a month, right? Is this technically? Am I literally?
Starting point is 01:10:32 I'm using money by cooking myself. Right, right, right, right. Because I was like, this is how I can scientifically justify to myself ordering takeout. Right, right. So I split it up, right? I did the average, no, I know this would be fucking, I knew you guys are fucking laughing for this.
Starting point is 01:10:46 This is just hilarious that you went to do something. This is big brain. Do it yourself, right? Go home now. No, I don't have to, because you've done a for us. Right. So that whole factor of enjoyment is gone. I don't, that's not a factor in my decision.
Starting point is 01:10:58 But do you enjoy, do you enjoy the end result? I enjoy Uber Eats small. Bro, you- No, no, there is something about a home-cooked meal. I don't know what it is. Because you can cook it exactly the way you want to do. Yeah, there's a chum about a home-cooked meal if you know how to cook.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Yeah, so my cooking is, my cooking is made. If you don't, then it's just like punishment. You should try sometime, Joe. No, no, I'm good. Just tell Aki to be like, yo. I only make like curry and Mexican. That's all I made, right? Right.
Starting point is 01:11:23 Which is, honestly, it's all you need in my book. Right, yeah, yeah. So Mexican food, I can't really like make enough to store. Like, because it's really fucking expensive for the ingredients as well here. But curry I can normally make like enough for like six meals. And that's just pretty nice because then that like the time versus like money effort is fine. But I don't cook anything else because when I did this thing, I found out that I was like wasting if you did the time to money conversion on my earnings to like.
Starting point is 01:11:48 It was like 40% less efficient to cook my own meals. It's got like a fucking spreadsheet. I did because it was driving me insane because I was speaking to some people who are like those fucking entrepreneur people. They're like, I never cook or clean my own thing. I hire a maid. I get Uber eats. I don't do any of that shit, just waste of time. I'm on that grind 24-7.
Starting point is 01:12:04 In reality, I would like an extra hour to play video games. I'm not gonna lie, because in my life, an extra hour to play video games is quite a lot of time. Yeah. Yeah. So if I can get an extra hour playing video games and then I can then later on spend an extra hour working, it's like, okay, it makes sense to just get Uberie's.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Yeah. Yeah. Is this just Connor the podcast trying to justify his spending? No, no, no, I, I, I can call it. Is this rich people problem? I'm kidding, I'm joking. It's entrepreneur problems. No, I completely, I mean, I mean, this is why we became I've never fucking enjoyed cleaning in my life.
Starting point is 01:12:34 No. I never will enjoy cleaning. And you know what's the only like, I guess, like housework, quote unquote that I really enjoy? Yeah. Doing the laundry. Okay, laundry is nice. Yeah. Laundry. There's something about laundry.
Starting point is 01:12:47 It's like it's just like, I just put some music on. I'm outside. But you feel clean. You feel clean. Yeah, usually it's like a nice day and I'm just hanging up my clothes. And I'm just like, hey, you know what? No. Stress free.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Suboptim. This is why Sydney does. the laundry. Thank you, Sydney, by the way. This is why I get a woman to do it. I laugh sometimes. I laugh sometimes because my mom's like, you're gonna need to learn how to do the laundry
Starting point is 01:13:11 someday, someday. And then Sydney comes along and is like, I love laundry. Laundry is so relaxing. It is, it is. I'm like, good. It's the whole thing of like your school teacher being like, you're not gonna carry a calculator with you every day. It's like, ha ha, about that. I'm gonna say it, dude.
Starting point is 01:13:29 When you have fresh sheets, not only is that, sleep the best. Yeah. That's the best wank you'll have in like all month, in fresh sheets, dude. You got all, wait, wait, you wank, wait. Why am I disgusting, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, time, time out.
Starting point is 01:13:42 What are you, sorry, you can say, are you like, whanking onto your sheets? Like, are you like, jeezing on side? I'm outside on the fucking, no, I'm kidding. Now, when you put them on, so fresh, the room smells nice, it all feels comfortable, you're like, ah, time to wank. That was the biggest they had us in the first half of like ever had in this podcast,
Starting point is 01:13:59 because I was gonna be like, yeah, I know exactly what you, way, what the fuck? Are you saying you don't like that? Come on, go on, go. I don't jack off in my bed. Yeah, don't jack off my bed, that's probably why. Well, if you have sex in it as well, it's also great.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Yeah, that's, that's not what you said, though, you said, yeah, if you would have said that that we would be like, yes, I agree, Connor, but- Same thing, same thing, the same climax, in the bed, fresh sheets, all the same thing, dude. No, like, I love fresh sheets. I hate the process of getting fresh sheets. Like, okay, okay, like, putting on bed sheets.
Starting point is 01:14:31 Okay, you see, you see, You've seen my setup. What's your setup? Connor has like, Connor has like, okay, you look at Connor's like gaming setup, it's like perfect. Everything is like optimized. And then you see his bed.
Starting point is 01:14:45 And it's like one of those like Reddit reacts to like some of the worst fucking gaming setups you've ever seen. It's like a two dollar bed setup. Yeah, like, you just have like a fucking towel on your fucking. No, no. So it's literally nothing in my bedroom
Starting point is 01:14:59 except a bed and there's like literally nothing. Why not? I don't know, it's from my fucking bedroom. I just sleep in there. I don't do anything else in there. It's worth it. Yeah, your bed frame's like broken, is there? Yeah, it's broken as well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Because I bought the cheapest one on Amazon when I moved here. Right. Because, you know, moving's expensive, right? Yeah. And it was so expensive that I was like, fuck, I gotta cut cost. Yeah, but I regret it because I bought a $200 bed
Starting point is 01:15:19 and that was the mattress combined. Yeah. And this shit's fucking awful. All the springs are fucked, the bed's broke. It's literally- You were talking so much about, like, yeah, why would you buy a $20 dollar one, you get your money's worth. Here's the thing, I had that philosophy,
Starting point is 01:15:32 but again, moving kind of like distorts your price range. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're spending like, you know, I gotta put down like a fucking 4K deposit on this shit, the flights are this much, I'd pay shipping for my PC. Like I was spending a lot of money, I'm like, fuck, I'm kinda losing a lot of money, you know? So I gotta start saving costs.
Starting point is 01:15:50 I can't buy a 10K bed frame. Right, right, right, right. So I bought the cheapest one on Amazon, which I regretted within about two weeks. Actually, no, immediately when I built it, because building it was a pain in the fucking ass. Yeah. I could tell,
Starting point is 01:16:00 I was building it, I'm like, oh no, this isn't even like budget plywood. This is like the throwaway plywood that they would use. It's like the foamy plywood. It's the worst. I remember seeing the exact bed frame you bought on Amazon and it was like two and a half stars. And that's when I knew that mistakes were made. I just wanted something and I wanted it now and I regretted it so much. But anyway, what happened was the most ghetto thing that I have is that I'm actually using a bed sheet as like a mattress cover.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Wait, what? So what happened was, right? How do you stretch that shit? over it. Okay, actually with a lot like the fucking power of Zeus, I'm like, I'm like, no, like putting this, I'm like pulling the red sea back together when I'm putting, trying to put these bed sheet,
Starting point is 01:16:40 it's a zip, it's all around my mattress. Oh, you fucking zipped it around your mattress? Oh, you like, you like put it in. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. You just fucking, like, condombed your mattress. What the fuck does you do it? I'm like, like, fucking Spartagus, right?
Starting point is 01:16:55 When he's kicking the guy, I'm like doing that to my mattress every time I wash. Wait, you have to do that every time you wash your mattress. mattress as well. So you wash your bed sheet? So I wash my bed sheet as well, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:04 So you have to fucking strip this thing out and then wash it and then condom it back in. I feel so sorry for your bed sheet, man. It's very stretched. So what happened, okay, but also I do avoid that annoying thing. This is very like, this is like the only plus in this. Now I'll go on to the many negatives. The only plus, right, is that you know that fucking annoying thing
Starting point is 01:17:21 when you're sleeping in the bed sheet comes off in the corner? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can never get it like back on unless you actually get off the bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I fucking hate that. That sucks. Never have that issue. Because the entire, I think he's wrapped.
Starting point is 01:17:31 It's zipped up around it. No, no, I can see like the benefits of it because like the best bed sheets are the ones that are like super tight. They're firm. Yeah, yeah. If I see wrinkles on that shit, that's such a, that's like instant, you know it's shit too
Starting point is 01:17:46 because sometimes you'll wake up and on your body you'll like have like imprints. Oh, I hate that. I'm just like, oh, what the fuck is that? Instant softy, right, yeah. I do have a backup bedsheet, which is actually like proper, but I refuse to use it unless I'm desperate because I love this one.
Starting point is 01:18:00 And I like even putting it back off. You're all fucking turning your mattresses or bean bags. So here's how I ended up with a bed sheet as my duvet and it goes all around my mattress. I fully put it all around my mattress and zip it up all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when I moved here, I went to Nitori,
Starting point is 01:18:14 which is kind of like Japanese IKEA, which I think we've mentioned before. I go there, right? So I buy the pillows, the pillow sheets, you know? Yeah, I buy the duvet. And I go to the staff member and I ask him. And like, I'm making sure I've got Google Translate, man. I'm like duvet or like whatever
Starting point is 01:18:28 that's fucking called blanket, whatever. Yeah. I did not say fucking like futon. I did not say futon. I'm like, I'm showing him, I'm like this. I even showed a picture, I'm like, oh, this, this part, which one is this? Then like broke a Japanese with Google Translate.
Starting point is 01:18:43 It's like, oh, no problem, fam, I got you. Points me to this, I buy it, I get home. What do you think it is? It's fucking futon. And he saw me buy the futon, another futon. It wasn't even in the same section as well, so that's why I was confused when I got home. Because I'm like, wait, this was in a different section.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Why do we have two different futon types? What is this? So I have two fucking futon colors, so I have the bed sheet, and then I have, yeah, the mattress, so I got home, and I needed to sleep, so I'm like, well, fuck it, it's going in one way or another, like, it's going over my bed.
Starting point is 01:19:12 I think Gant helped me the first time getting up. This is a two-person mission. That's what I'm trying to figure out, like, how fuck do you get that on yourself? So, yeah, I thought, I had just, like, call Gant every time. I just assumed that you got a duvet now? I've mastered the technique of doing it, right?
Starting point is 01:19:29 Okay, here's what I do. To get it off is easy because it's like, it's like you're letting it wants to get off. Yeah, it's like letting a pig out of clothes. It's like that shit wants to come up. Yeah. Get it back on, right? Okay, first of all, here's the setup. I flip my mattress to the side, right?
Starting point is 01:19:42 So it's upright. And then I fucking like pull over half. And I flip it upside down the other end, pull it up. And then there's basically what happens is that it's up to here, right? So this is long horizontal ones, right? Yeah, yeah. I've got to basically force this shit together. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:57 Like grab it together and hold it. and it hurts my hands because it's tight. I gotta like slowly pull a little bit by little bit. And if I let go, it all goes back. So I have to keep grabbing a little bit and zipping, grabbing a little bit and zipping. It's a pain in the fucking ass and I hate it. Why don't you just get a fucking dude,
Starting point is 01:20:11 it's like putting on the world's largest corner. No, no, no, dude. I think that is the bedsheet. Just get a proper bed sheet. Yeah, just get a proper bed sheet. You know what? I love the firmness of it. Like, I love how tight it is around my bed.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Just get a fucking bed sheet. And at that point, you might as well not even have a fucking bed sheet. Why? Why? I like it. No, no, no. Like there's a difference between having no bedsheet and having a firm bed sheet. I sweat like a motherfucker. I need a bed sheet. Right. So that's just buy a fucking bet. It's like a thousand yen.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I don't know. I've kind of gotten like used to it now. I kind of like it now. This man literally made a spreadsheet trying to optimize cooking and he can't even buy a fucking bed sheet. Well, because then I got to optimize that. That's another thing I got to optimize. I'm sick of it, man. Well, too fair, that whole optimization with the Uber Eads was just to justify to myself why I can have like pad tie three. times a week. Right, right. To be honest. Like, like, I like the final result of cooking and clean, fucking bed sheets. But like, having to change your duvet, like, do you find it in the most, like, fiddliest
Starting point is 01:21:08 fucking thing ever to, like, take the duvet off and, like, putting it back on and having to make sure every, every corner is perfectly situated on every... If you do it, if you have a zipped-up one, every corner will be. It doesn't have a choice. Not the bed sheet, the actual fucking blanket part. Oh, that's easy, because the ones are Japan, big brain. Big brain, they come with the holes at the end. So you can just flip it up inside out, grab the thing,
Starting point is 01:21:30 and then push. Yeah, that's what I always. You could do that? Yeah, that's what I always. What? That's what I've done it ever since I was little. So you turn it inside out. Yeah, I do that.
Starting point is 01:21:37 And then you, like a little ghost, you put it over you. Yeah, yeah, you know, no, I do that. You grab the ends of the futon, and then you just like flip it over and then shake it down. Yeah, and then shake it down. But like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Isn't that what hotels do? Yeah, because they go to speed running because they're like 100 rooms. Like, I don't know if my, like, because I think I have like my fucking nightmare where my duvet is not the same size as my blanket. It's slightly bigger.
Starting point is 01:22:01 So I always have like left. See, like a little bit of fabric left there. Oh my God, it triggers me so much, man. That's what, I hate the ones, I hate the ones like our old fucking duve. It was like the perfect size. But the problem was is that it would, the duve inside would move around. I hate that.
Starting point is 01:22:17 So like one end of the duvet would just have like just fucking scrunched up. So that you try and pull it over, it's just sheet. I'm just like, what's the fucking doovet? This is why I think you are most likely to have a mental breakdown when you're doing your bed sheets or putting a duvet on.
Starting point is 01:22:31 I don't know what it is. That's why I fucking hate it, man. That's why I fucking hate it. I don't know what it is about putting sheets on, but when it just doesn't work, you're like, fuck it. I just want to cry and just be like, why won't it work? Why won't it work? Why is my day going bad? I used to work in like hotel lodgers
Starting point is 01:22:48 in like ski fields and stuff, and I had to do that shit every fucking day. Really? So I basically, like- Do you shovel shit out of the drains and then you gotta go do that? Yeah, so I had to, I was basically- That sounds like my nightmare.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Yeah, so like, at first I fucking hated it. I was like, oh, there's- there's 30 rooms in this hotel, that doesn't seem too bad. Five rooms in you're like, fuck man, I wanna go home. Like, fuck, like just fucking around with the duvet just like, it's not going in! I have 25 rooms left to do this,
Starting point is 01:23:15 I would actually have a mental breakdown if I had to do like five sheets in like one hour. I would actually be like, no, no, I don't think life is for me. I'm like, I'm not getting paid enough for this shit. I would actually rather shovel shit. Yeah, I'd rather shovel shit and, like, fucking get shouted at McDonald's than do five duvets in a row, man.
Starting point is 01:23:31 So now I'm just used to it because I've lived through that fucking Vietnam War. Yeah, because like... What didn't you do at this job, Joey? Jesus Christ. I didn't... I didn't work in the kitchen, that's for sure. Yeah, because there is, there's something...
Starting point is 01:23:44 There's something fucking special about hotel duvets. And just, like, getting in, like, a hotel bed and just feeling like you're in a fucking straight jacket. I don't know, man. I fucking love that feeling. I don't like when hotels do that, when they fucking... No, yeah, because you get in the bed and you're like,
Starting point is 01:23:59 what is this, the world's fucking strongest man for weight pulling? You just have to fucking like shimmy yourself into it. I love that feeling. You feel like fucking safe, you feel covered? No, I feel like I'm in a street jacket. This is my safe zone right now, and no one can fucking touch me. I feel like a moth. I feel like a fucking caterpillar who's like about to fucking...
Starting point is 01:24:17 No! Okay, what about... I hate it when they took like half the fucking duvet under the front of the bed. So you get in it. And it's like you're trying to to tow a car when you're pulling this shit out. You're like this on the bed like,
Starting point is 01:24:27 like, fuck, ah! No, I just like shimmy myself in and I'm just like, ah, I feel like I'm back in my mom's womb right now. Nothing can hurt me. I can't even shimbing myself in. It's like I'm trying to get into pants, five sizes too small. It's like, fuck, I can't get in.
Starting point is 01:24:41 I feel bad as well when they put a lot of like, they put like a cloth on the bed, like a little, like, I don't know, like that shit. They put on the front of the bed. I'm like, get rid of there. Get rid of that fucking out of it. Oh, the thing like at the end. It's like a linen thing or something.
Starting point is 01:24:53 I don't know what it is. You know what that's for? What is that for? It's for, apparently it's an American thing. Apparently it's so that you can wear shoes on the bed. Oh! Yeah. Oh!
Starting point is 01:25:02 I'm about to leave right now. So like, you probably seen it before like in hotels where there's just like this one weird like fucking tablecloth size. Yeah, I hate that thing. At the end of the bed, right? That's for shoes? That's the shoes? That's the shoes. But they do that in Japanese hotels where you have to take your shoes off at the front.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Yeah, that's what I don't understand. Why? I understand. hotels as the only white, as the only white person. No, no, don't put this on me. As I need, I need your reading. I was raised correctly. Shoes on sofas and beds.
Starting point is 01:25:30 No, it could. Does that trigger you as it should? Yes, yes, of course. My parents would hit me if I did that. You're kidding me? I've never understood, I always thought, you know when you'd watch like The Simpsons or like American like TV shows or whatever,
Starting point is 01:25:41 how they would take their shoes off before going to bed? Like, like, where they would like keep their shoes on the side of the bed. And then when they wake up, the first thing they would do was put shoes on. I just thought that was parody. I didn't actually think Americans did that. I mean, it's not just America,
Starting point is 01:25:55 it's most of the fucking West. And like, as an Asian, I'm just like, why did the West just normalize war crimes? I'm like, why are you all like dirty fucking, like gross-ass shoes on the carpet? That shit's gross. I mean, I- That's what blows my mind. I'm like, you are literally dragging, like,
Starting point is 01:26:10 daily shit into your carpet by bringing your shoes in. Like it drives me the same thing. And then people complain being like, oh man, I hate carpet because it's so dirty. I'm like, yeah, Of course you're in shoes. Like whenever I would go to a friend's house
Starting point is 01:26:24 and they would be like, and I go to his house and he would be like, it's okay, you can keep his shoes on. I'm like, motherfucker, tell me to take my shoes off. I want to take my shoes off, man. I would actually run, like I'm not a fucking animal. I'm not gonna bring dirt into the house, all right. I don't know what it is, but like, when I'm shitting with shoes on in somebody's house,
Starting point is 01:26:43 it feels so weird. It feels like I'm in a public restroom. Like I don't wanna shit with my shoes on. Yeah, it is really comfortable, man. Man, this drives me insane. Like, and there's people, there'll be people comment to me like, I wear my shoes in bed. Stop, stop. Stop, stop.
Starting point is 01:26:58 For your own sake. It's gross. Stop. Please, if, if you wanna go against the Geneva Conventions, just do it, do it in your own fucking. It goes against basic Cuban rights. I know, right. To wear shoes in bed. I love all our fans, except for the ones
Starting point is 01:27:10 that wear shoes to their bed. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. All my homies hate people who wear shows in bed. My God, yeah, my God. Because I went to fucking, Jesus, my editor, Evan, I went to his house and that was disgusting. He had like, he had like a five inch thick carpet. Right. I don't even know what kind of,
Starting point is 01:27:29 I don't know what color this carpet was supposed to be, but it definitely wasn't the color that it came as. This shit was vile, dude. Evan, fix that fucking carpet, man. And they all wore like the dirtiest shoes inside. And I was like, Evan, I can't. Right, I'm like, have you not heard of house slippers? Like if you have to wear something?
Starting point is 01:27:45 Why? What's wrong with bare feet, man? Yeah. But even if, it's like, dude, slippers. It's fine. It's clean. This video is sponsored by Skillshare. No matter what 2021 brings, you can spend it to creating something meaningful

Going back to the topic of beds and everything, opinions on pajamas. Do any of you guys wear pajamas? I sleep naked. Like specifically like pajamas?
Starting point is 01:29:33 Yeah, just pajamas. No, for me it's just like underwear and some random t-shirt. All right, good. I don't understand pajamas at all. Yeah. Some people- Do you wear a t-shirt to bed? I don't wanna wear, why?
Starting point is 01:29:43 Why would you wear a t-shirt to bed? I mean, unless it's like fucking stinking hot, like in the summer, like, I'll wear no shirt, but most of the time I have to wear it. Like, Max comfort is the least amount of clothes you could wear, basically. And, you know, you basically only wear boxes, so your fucking, your fucking dangly bits don't go everywhere. Yeah, that's pretty much the end of reason. I like the freedom, though, you know, let them loose.
Starting point is 01:30:01 I'm sleeping. I want to be comfy. No, but like, like, I don't know. I like wearing a t-shirt because sometimes in the morning, the weather can, like, completely change. So I don't, especially nowadays in the winter, like, I'm a little bit too cold if I don't wear at least the t-shirt, even with the heater on. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. What about when you say, like a friend's house, right? Do you, what do you, do you wear a t-shirt when you sleep?
Starting point is 01:30:25 Because I'm just like immediately, I'm like, right, I'm stripping. It depends how close I am to that friend, really. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter who they are, I'm like, right, if I'm staying in your house, I'm sorry, I'm asleep, like, I'll sleep with boxes on, I'll humor you. I won't get my junk everywhere. I'll sleep with boxes on, but I'm like. You can just not wear a shirt.
Starting point is 01:30:40 I can't sleep with the t-shirt on. Why? What? I don't know, I feel like I'm outside still. You know, when I take the tissue off, in my head it signifies like, okay, we're going to bed or I'm going in the bath. Are you the type of person who like,
Starting point is 01:30:52 when doing like a serious like heavy shit, like you have to like take your shirt off? No, but, but, but. Wait, wait. No, I know people like like. Go, go, go, go, go back. You know, no people like that? No.
Starting point is 01:31:04 Where it's just like, if like, I had a few friends where like, like, if the pain was like really fucking, like, it was such a powerful shit, They'll be like to like fully get out like 100% of their power they would take this shirt off. You're trolling me. You're just, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:31:19 You know, I know people like that. You're just like fuck man, I need to take my shirt off to get serious with the shit. But also, how do you not know people like that? This is satire. No fucking camera. No fucking way is it true right now. I'm serious, I'm serious.
Starting point is 01:31:34 What I think like fucking Goku with weighted training, with weighted shirts or something? It's just like, hold on. Let me use 100% of my power to push this shit out. Yeah. Because you're like sweating. so hard, you're just like, I need to take my shirt off.
Starting point is 01:31:44 But like, what if, okay, also when you're, when you're, when you're, when you're, hung over, the shits are terrible, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're like, fuck, I mean, I just woke up, I'm naked, so, fuck it, I'll do it when I'm naked. Not gonna lie, I've had moments where the shit's been so, like, it's powerful and stressful, where I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:32:01 I have to take my shirt up. I don't know, I don't do that, but I know people who do. Yeah, I don't know if it's, like, placebo, but like, it works. He's fucking cry. You can imagine, like, fucking, like, entire one was like on the shit. You know the only time I, I, I, when I'm like, if I'm ever like vomiting, I wanna be naked.
Starting point is 01:32:25 What? Because I wanna get that shit anywhere or smell my clothes. So I'm like, I'll just get naked and I'll hug this toilet bowl until I'm done. But if you're hugging it then like there's no way you're gonna fucking like onto your shirt. I just don't want that shit in my clothes at all, man. I'm like, I don't know. I just, and also feels better. I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:32:42 I feel like, I need to get like, it's too restricted. I'm getting stuffy in these, I just wanna vomit. Like, I don't know, like when I was, like, Oh, did you vomit without your- Well, well, well, well. Because every time I've seen you vomit, you have clothes on, so. Well, when I, oh yeah, true. I was, I'm drunk.
Starting point is 01:32:56 Yeah, but like, when I'm like, you have like, if you're really sick, you're like, when I had food poisoning, back at like, whenever, you know, when they thought I had the rona. Like, I was, like, vomiting and I had to be, like, naked because I was like, otherwise, I thought I'd get on my clothes and I'm like, that's gross, it's so fun.
Starting point is 01:33:10 Little did you know that during the chess tournament, every time you went to take a shit, He just fucking rip off his suit. That was awful when I was taking a shit with the suit on. I'm like, please, please don't get it on the suit. That's the worst timing to take a shit is when you're in a full suit.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Like, oh, it's gross. Because like for me, wearing a t-shirt in bed is just like, sometimes, especially in the winter, you wake up and it's like a cold fucking morning. Yeah. I love that. And like, how do you escape your duvet at that point? Yeah. Just, it's like, I don't know, being branded.
Starting point is 01:33:42 You're like, just fucking do you. Do it. No, for me it's just like gravity has increased tenfold in this bed and it's like, I'm like experiencing 10 G's in this bed right now. It's like I actually can't get off. It literally takes me like an hour to get out of bed. I don't know, I have like the fucking call of duty,
Starting point is 01:33:57 like text pop it up my screen, mission, get to the shower. Like that's what it's like for me. I have to do like one limb at a time to be like, all right let me just get my right arm out and once that's like room temperature, then I'll get my right leg out. It's like, all right, now I can go. I used to have like a heated thing
Starting point is 01:34:12 that you could put onto your bed. Right. But that just made me lazier, so I got rid of it. What do you mean? Because I never wanted to leave the bed. Like a heated bed. Like a heated thing under the mattress. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:34:23 It was like just always warm, but then I was like, this is also a fire hazard. And yeah, I just don't, I cannot get out of bed with this thing. Yeah, that's true. I mean, okay, have we talked about a katatsu's last before? I don't remember. I don't think we have.
Starting point is 01:34:36 Explain them to the audience, don't. So, I mean, they watch anime. You watch anime, right? You know what a katatsu. If you don't know what a katatsu is, It's basically like a heated coffee table where it's like a little coffee table where that has blankets around it
Starting point is 01:34:50 and you put your legs in it and you put them under and it's all nice and cozy and warm. And it is amazing. I don't know about amazing. I think it's fucking amazing. I remember there's a few logistical issues that crop up with a such a ass. Well, how many legs can fit under there.
Starting point is 01:35:07 Depends how big the table is. Depends how big. It's normally not that big. It's normally, you can come I'm probably fit two people's legs. No. I mean, are you comparing this to my katatsu, which is fucking tiny?
Starting point is 01:35:20 No, no, no, like a normal katatsu. Because like I wanna stretch my legs fully out underneath that thing, right? You can only really fit like two before you start, like, you start touching people's legs. I don't want to touch Joey's legs. Oh, not. Disgusting.
Starting point is 01:35:32 All my homies touch legs. I don't want to play footsie with Joey under the table. Why, I want to? I want to. I want to. I want to twiddle toes while I call Uno. What if you don't know them? I mean, you probably do know the world.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Yeah, exactly. If you're sharing it to Kutuzza. I'm not sharing your Kutuzza with a fucking stranger. Yeah. Why not? That should be a, that's weird. That should be in a restaurant. That's weird. It's nice, but then also I find that it's like,
Starting point is 01:35:54 because you, I know you could turn it up and down, but it's like, it's either like, I would rather the room be hot than my legs be hot. Does that make sense? No, I would not rather that. Okay, I've, I literally had this problem recently, which is like why I get reminded why I really don't fucking like winter, right? So unlike these boys, I fucking hate the cold
Starting point is 01:36:15 And I love the cold. And like the reason I hate it is because, you know, you're in a cold room and you wanna get comfortable. So what do you do? You put on the heater, but I hate the feeling of a stuffy room. Right. Like this room's getting a bit, you're from a stuffy country though.
Starting point is 01:36:30 Have you considered wearing another item of clothing? No, no, no, no. Because there's a problem because you, if you wear like a fucking jumper or something and the room's cold, then your fucking hands are cold. And like, you're just trying to, It is not that cold. It is not that cold.
Starting point is 01:36:44 It is not that cold. Do you, like, does the blood circulate to your fingers enough? Or like, yeah, my fucking feet, like, before we turn on the seat, my fucking fever, ice cold, man. I am not joking. I, I, I get cold limbs. You're a fucking lizard with your body, like, what the fuck? No, I just, I, my body was just not built for the colds and there's nothing more uncomfortable
Starting point is 01:37:05 for me. They're just, in the opposite. Yeah. Than just a stuffy room, because like, sometimes I'm like, maybe I'm getting ill. And then I realize, I go outside. and it's because the room's so stuffy that I haven't realized how I'm comfortable I'm feeling.
Starting point is 01:37:17 But that's why I very rarely turn on the heater unless it's like a seriously cold because for me it's like if I'm cold, I'll just wear another layer of clothing. And then A, the room isn't stuffy and B, I'm warm. But also it's really easy to make a room not stuffy. You just open a window for like one minute
Starting point is 01:37:33 after you've heated the room up. It won't be cold after one. Yeah, but then after you open the window, then it gets cold again. And then the cycle continues. Not in one minute. There is like never, there is never like a perfect temperature that I'm like happy with when it's winter.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Because if I need to like artificially warm it up, then either it's gonna be too stuffy or I'm gonna be too cold. There is no in between. But there's something so nice about being in a warm room knowing it's freezing outside. There's something that's so magical about that. It's like going to bed in a thunderstorm, right? Like there's something comforting about it.
Starting point is 01:38:06 I don't know if you guys like that. I just gave you like the, like, the way. I just gave you like the thousand yards standing. Like you were like, yeah, you guys don't know I'm talking about. No, no, no, I like it. I like, I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah. It's like the, it's just like white noise outside.
Starting point is 01:38:20 Yeah, it's, it's something comforting about like, outside is fucked right now, but I'm safe inside, dry and warm. Like, some of the best sleeps I've had have been like camping on the floor, but because it's so fucking freezing outside and you're in a little like worm cocoon, it's so nice. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I agree. I just like, I just like being comfortable existing, I guess.
Starting point is 01:38:40 I don't want to do anything to make my existence more comfortable. I just like being in a room and being like, okay, I can do whatever I want. I think you just spoke on behalf of all humanity. I just want a comfortable existence. He just wants to fucking wear a turtleneck in his room and be a happy boy. Honestly, what's wrong with that? I don't want to put on a heater. Okay, to be honest, the only reason why I, okay, two reasons why I don't wear turtlenecks.
Starting point is 01:39:06 A, you're like an asshole. I look like a dick. And B, my neck. Yeah, no, you can make it work. Come on. Come on. I can't make it work. I look like a fucking weirdo with a turtle neck.
Starting point is 01:39:18 But B, like my neck for some reason, I don't know what it is. It exerts so much fucking heat that, like, legit, like, that's the reason why, like, I fucking, like, I can't wear a scarf either. Because when I wear a scarf, my neck gets so fucking sweaty. I fucking love wearing scarves. I know. Scarves are great.
Starting point is 01:39:37 I like wearing scarves too, but only if it's like, like I'm talking like, you know, minus 10, minus 20 degrees. Literally the reason I started wearing total necks had nothing to do with like me thinking toe necks looks nice. I just remember the first time I put on a turtleneck, I'm like, oh, this is like permanently wearing a scarf that I'd never have to take off. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:54 This is like perfect for me. Exactly, because I fucking love the feeling of wearing scar. Exactly, but like it doesn't matter like how cold it is for me. I don't know why, I get so sweaty around my neck. Who needs renewable energy when we can just use Joey's fucking neck to power the planet? You can just all huddle around my neck like this and just warm your hands up
Starting point is 01:40:09 my neck. Like I don't know what, I don't know what it is. Like my neck is always so fucking hot. And which sucks because people have always told me, oh yeah, you look really good in the scarf. Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, I like wearing scar stuff. I like the feeling of it.
Starting point is 01:40:20 But I can only wear it from me like. You say that you're fine, but you're not really fine. Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's like, I like wearing a scarf and I think I look good in a scarf. But the problem is I can't wear a scarf for more than two minutes, because then I'm just like, fuck this, it's so hot.
Starting point is 01:40:33 I can't overheating, overloading, yeah. I, kind of on topic, okay, Yeah, going back to why I like Kotatsu's is that katatsu is like, I can feel warmer katatsu and not feel stuffy. So it's like one of like the few spaces where I'm just like, if I'm getting hot, I can just roll on the katatsu and- But that's the problem I have with Kotatsu.
Starting point is 01:40:54 It's the exact same problem I have with beds in winter. It's that the moment I enter the Kotatsu, the G's jack up to like 10 G's and I can't leave it. Yeah, yeah, I felt the same way. Also, how are we like sitting on the floor? Like sitting on the floor isn't that kind of, comfortable for me. Right.
Starting point is 01:41:11 And Kotatsu's you normally have to sit on the floor because I need some like, I need some like back support man. But there's those chairs, there's the best of those chairs. Yeah, those are pretty good but like most of the time they don't really have those, do they? It's just kind of like you just sit, put your leg, and you gotta put your hands back, if you can lean back a little bit.
Starting point is 01:41:24 I mean, you can lean back on the couch. Yeah, I mean, if there's a couch there, sometimes people don't have that. I mean, I'm being nip- You should just bring your own, like, fucking pol-door chairs. Wherever I go. You have a cotatzu? I'm coming. I'm like, that guy with the camping chair,
Starting point is 01:41:36 like flips it out with one hand. I'm like, I'm ready for the Kotatsi. Exactly. I'm ready to be comfortable. Honestly, like Katatsu is, I remember the first time I tried out of Katatsu here in Japan and it was like, instant life changing moment.
Starting point is 01:41:48 What do you mean? It's just a warm table. What are you like, how's it life changing? Come on, come on, come on. Come on. Like, you have some of those moments where you're just like, how did I go my entire life without this?
Starting point is 01:41:58 Like, okay, it is pretty fucking warm. Because heated toilet seats. The first time I went to Japan and tried a heated toilet seats, I'm just like, how is the rest of the first world Like other first world countries haven't caught on to this. Yeah, I won't lie. I think I have actually ruined toilets for myself.
Starting point is 01:42:12 Because whenever I go to a toilet now that doesn't have a bidet, I legit feel like I'm done. I have a panic attack. I legit feel like, how am I first to wash my ass clean? Wipe it, are you kidding me? I'm not an animal. I don't touch that area. Dude, if I ever move back to the UK, no joke.
Starting point is 01:42:27 I'm 100% invest in a bit. The suitcase is empty, dude. I'm making room for the premium $1,000 bidet. Because I'm using that shit daily. I want a shit like a king. And like I remember Proz-D, I was talking to him as well one time, he was like, dude, when he went back from, when he came back from Japan, the one thing he brought
Starting point is 01:42:43 was a bidet. Really? Because he was like, I insist. He has taste, man. He was arguing, he was like, I insist that I shit like a king. And I'm like, honestly, I completely understand it. Because what did you get used to a bidet? And you get the heated seat, you know, you get the,
Starting point is 01:42:58 you get a little pressure washer, you can have it set to like, boom, boom, boom, boom, like go back and forth on your ass cheeks. It's nice, dude. I might, my ass feels permanently clean. Why wouldn't I want to shower for my ass every time I shit? Like, are you kidding me? Sometimes I don't even shit, but I do it because I'm like, why not clean my ass?
Starting point is 01:43:12 Why not? I got some time. Why don't make my ass feel refreshed? Because you know, sometimes right, man, you have those days where like, it's a hot day, and you get like swamp ass, you know what I mean? Well, your ass just gets kind of sweaty. Yeah, it's not even bad, but just a little bit, right?
Starting point is 01:43:27 You're like, why not just clean? Yeah, so you're butt-eachies, so you talk, okay, I completely mis-on this, so you're not talking about it's heated, The heated seat is also amazing. You're talking about bidet. Yeah, the bidet and, but the heated seats part of the bidet package, right?
Starting point is 01:43:41 Even the cheapest one is happening. Okay, I don't use the washing, ass washing function of the bidet at all. Why not? Fucking, it just, it just doesn't feel clean. I don't know, it's clean. I don't know, it's the cleanest thing in the toilet. It does not, I like, I-
Starting point is 01:43:57 You are kidding me. Okay, so you- This is like going to space to be like, yeah, I never look at the window. Why would I? Why would I look at the window? So like you bidet your ass, right? You got the water shooting up your ass,
Starting point is 01:44:09 and then you stop it, and then you just gotta fuck, you just got, you just got wet arts, so you get some of the toilet paper and you just dry it a little bit. Yeah, you dry it off. Yeah, because like you need the toilet paper, but it doesn't feel clean without that wipe. Like, yeah, but okay, some of them have,
Starting point is 01:44:23 some of them have dryers, and those are pretty good. No, no, no, I, I, I, I, I, have you tried, have you tried? I have tried. Fuck off, I have tried. No, no, no. Okay, yeah, because there's a difference between wiping to dry
Starting point is 01:44:35 Why are we talking about this about it? There's a difference in wiping to dry your ass and wiping to get the shit out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're very different types of wipes, right? One is, like a deep wipe. What is like a shower? What is an excavation?
Starting point is 01:44:48 Look, look, the other is a pat down. Look, look, toilet papers were not designed to wipe wet asses. No, because your ass isn't, your ass isn't the fucking, like, Amazon River, dude. It's a little moist, yeah, just wipe that shit dry. What I hate is when you have a wet ass after a day, you go to wipe it,
Starting point is 01:45:04 and the toilet paper just fucking to since grace on your hands. Bro, what, what, are you using? How much water are you fucking, like, using? Okay, look, how much water can your asshole in vertical position contain? It doesn't matter of all. It's fucking toilet paper.
Starting point is 01:45:16 What ply are you using, Garn? What ply are you using? One ply? What are you using, one, fucking sandpaper? What are you using, though? You gotta use the double, though, at least. Oh, double minimum, come on. No, toilet, what, what ply are using God asked you?
Starting point is 01:45:27 What does I, what's a ply? How many sheets of paper is used, did it? Yeah. Are you using, like, one square and be like, shit, I'm all out? It doesn't fucking matter. When you, anyone who lives in Asia, anyone who lives in Asia knows that toilet paper here
Starting point is 01:45:40 is weak as fuck. That sounds broke as fuck. You sound broke right now, gone. I can't believe how much, peasant jokes is. I thought, like, cause I thought it was just, it was just a Thai thing where toilet paper was just like fucking flaccid.
Starting point is 01:45:53 No, I moved to Japan and toilet paper here is like fucking weak as fuck. You can buy the good shit. Yeah, you get the double ply shit and then you do like, maybe like one wrap around your hand. That's more than enough to absorb any amount of liquid That's down there. You pile on three little sheets.
Starting point is 01:46:07 Yeah, yeah. Right, that's a nice nickness to it, right? They're two plumb-y. Like, at least like that thing. And then just get under there, it won't rip. Good. And yeah. And your ass is clean and it's dry.
Starting point is 01:46:16 I cannot believe you would come here. Like, honestly, Badey's in the top three things about Japan, if I'm gonna be honest with you. Yeah. He did toilet seats. Bade's, okay. The whole shitting experience. Yeah. The whole toilet experience.
Starting point is 01:46:28 It's like a top three Japanese thing for me, man. Like, it's just great. Okay, another thing about Bade's as well. I'm not the thing about Badez as well. Like it shoots up right up your asshole, right? That's exactly what I want. And then you just feel like you're fucking shitting out water. And so like, how gaped is your asshole?
Starting point is 01:46:44 Do you like, goate-sew? Yeah, he's like this, like, just sit down on it, man. There's just fucking water stuck in your asshole, man. You know what? You fucking, are you like giving yourself like a prostate massage on a bidet? No, it's just like, it's just natural. Because- Do you get water stuck in your anus?
Starting point is 01:47:01 No. No, me, how do you do that? It's your, what is your asshole? Are you putting your asshole over the Biddy, like thing? Like, are you, are you putting it in? Yeah, are you putting the hose in? No, but the stream of water is fucking strong enough. Put it down, put it down.
Starting point is 01:47:19 Why you're like, you probably said it to like, fucking pressure hose, like, like, public fountain display. No, no, no, because if it's not strong, then it's just a fucking trickle on your ass, and that's not cleaning up shit. That is called medium. Yeah, you need the fucking, you need the fucking,
Starting point is 01:47:34 pressure to fucking clean that shit off your ass. But if it has enough pressure to clean the shit off your ass, then you're getting water stuck in your ass off. No, you're not. There is no in between. No, you're not. I have my bidet is on the fucking max pressure and it's perfect.
Starting point is 01:47:48 Yes, because like, because you can feel the shit coming off and I mean, I don't know about you, but my asshole is normal. Fucking ironclad asshole right here, man. Just clench it a bit. Yeah, I clench it a little bit. Yeah, because if you clench, then you're not fucking cleaning you properly.
Starting point is 01:48:02 You're watching when you're shitting. What are you being? Wait, you're not cleaning it properly when you clench? Of course you are. Yeah. What do you like clench? Wait, you clench when you fucking bidet that shit? That's like a little bit.
Starting point is 01:48:13 Yeah, put her up your ass off a little bit. Again, God is like, relax my anus, allow the water to flow in. Like, what are you doing? You're like giving yourself a fucking, like, Biday animal, like. That's what it feels like. It honestly feels like I'm getting,
Starting point is 01:48:29 and I'm taking a fucking Bete enema every time. You are doing this totally wrong, God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Wait, because like I don't clench when I shit. What do you mean? What, you're just like, I let gravity do its work. What is this a fun slip and slide you around?
Starting point is 01:48:44 How is this shit coming up? How loomed up is your ass-all? What do you mean, just mean push? Yeah, punch, that's the same thing normally. No, that's no, okay, that doesn't help with a bidet. It still goes up the fucking asshole, even if you fucking push that shit out. We need an anatomy of your assail.
Starting point is 01:48:58 Yeah, I need, we need an x-ray of your assail so we can see what, can we get like a bidet cam just to see like, how fucking loose your ass on. is when it gets medaid. I just don't like the feeling of like water on my ass. And I don't know. So wait, what about in the shower?
Starting point is 01:49:12 Yeah, what are you clean your ass with? No, I, I, okay, so you, you know, you know when- Do you clean your ass gone? Yeah, I clean my fucking ass. You talked about the sweaty, you talked about the sweaty fitting on your ass off, yeah, Swampass. Yeah, if I get swam pass, I just take a fucking shower, man. I don't even batheed that shit.
Starting point is 01:49:26 Yeah, I thought. That's so unnecessary. I can take, I can take three showers a day if I need to. It goes home, he's like, fuck, got a shower now, man. Honestly, honestly, like sometimes if I wanna feel clean after a shit, I just take a fucking shower man. Quick five in it. What are you doing in these toilets?
Starting point is 01:49:42 You're like, gone, gone is that one dude when you leave some public restrooms that's like a fucking war zone. Yeah. Like that must be gone. That is my house. There's shit everywhere, shit on the wall. It's like that is gone.
Starting point is 01:49:54 It's gone going in the restroom. It's like in places you didn't think shit would end up. It's the fucking opposite, man. God's like, why would I use a bidet when it can't reach the wall? My shit's, like my shit's, Like my shits are like the cleaner shits, you know. Fuck off.
Starting point is 01:50:06 They are. There's not such thing as a clean shit. Wait, so. Okay, no. Have you never had like the perfect shit? The no wipes, yeah. Like the swish is like, the perfect shit, which is just like you just shit out a log and it's like one solid clean log.
Starting point is 01:50:22 And then you look at it and it's like no wipe, you look at it and you're just like, man, that's a fucking piece of all right there. In my family we call that the swish because it doesn't touch the sides. I hope no one's eating during you. this episode. Yo, I just did a swish right there, man. You don't eat a fucking bidet after you did that fucking swish, man. I mean, I still like it though.
Starting point is 01:50:41 I still do it anyway because it feels good. To me, that is like the equivalent, right, of coming to Japan and just being like, yeah, man, I just ate only KFC and Burger King. It's like, you've wasted the true potential of Japan. Like, what have you done? Like you, you, it is on par, honestly, with food to me about Japan.
Starting point is 01:50:57 Like food's amazing and the shitting experience is also Godlock. I actually look forward to taking a shit. I can't wait to crack open the bidet and just feel amazing. Crack open the, crack open the, crack open the bidet with the boys. Crack open the bidet, you know,
Starting point is 01:51:12 and just have a great fucking time. Yeah. You shit for pleasure. Honestly, I used to shit because it was a bodily function. Now I look forward to my shits. Yeah. Because it's Japan. And they figured out
Starting point is 01:51:23 how to make shitting an enjoyable experience. I mean, I look forward to shitting for like other reasons. Like the bidet is just like not one of them. What's the other reason? Did you have a warm ass? Yeah, well, one, I have warm and there's like two fucking sacred places for me
Starting point is 01:51:35 and one is the shower and the other one is when I'm taking the shit. Right, no, probably like my channel wouldn't exist if I couldn't shit or shower. Where the fuck am I gonna get my ideas from? Are you having fucking existential crisis in the toilet? Fuck, yes I am. Who doesn't? Do you not?
Starting point is 01:51:50 No, because taking a shit for me is enjoyable. Yeah, I have a great time. That's the reason, like, people think that I take such a long time because I'm having like a mental breakdown time. No, I'm just having a fucking great time. I'm just like, why would I leave early when I'm having this much fun right here? It's so fun.
Starting point is 01:52:04 I fucking love shitting badees are just, I don't know, in Thailand, we have like an even worse thing, which is like, it's like a self bidet, right? So in like most Southeast Asian countries, we don't have like the auto on your ass bidet. We have like a little, like a shower head, like a mini shower head that you have to like put between your legs. Oh, some European countries have that too, right?
Starting point is 01:52:24 Yeah, pretty sure. The little bowl, the thing that, like the little bowl next to it or you do it in the toilet itself? It's like the little bolting thing, but without the ball. And at that point, like, I don't know, I've always hated that feeling, because then you just get wet balls.
Starting point is 01:52:37 That's too much, because the bidet is precise with where it's aimed, right? And when you've used your own bidet long enough, you know where to aim. The bidet is like sniping your ass-old. Yeah, you know where it's gonna go, yeah. And you know the radius of which it'll spray. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:49 So you've got it down or not, right? Oh my God. How long we've been talking about it. How long we've been talking about shouring our assholes. Because I want, I've always wanted to talk about on the podcast, because it's one of the, no joke, the most enjoyable parts of Japan.
Starting point is 01:53:02 I know what to call this episode now, the Japanese toilet experience. The shitting Japanese experience. I know where a golden recum experience comes from now, and it's when you're on the fucking toilet. Did you get like, were you a bit worried when you first saw how to operate the bidet when you first came to Japan?
Starting point is 01:53:21 Yeah, I think a lot of British people are, because it's like the thought of spraying your ass is so foreign to us. Yeah. Also, I think that you and Alan did again the first time you went to the fucking hotel bidet. We were curious at how the bidet knew when you were sitting on it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:32 So the bathroom was like a wet room. So we were like, okay, well, doesn't matter if there's bidet sprays everywhere. So we had like a few drinks, we were like, let's figure out how the bidet works. So we figured out the bidet won't spray unless there's pressure on the seat. Yeah, yeah, and then it was like spraying
Starting point is 01:53:46 on the wall because no one was sitting up. And so it was spraying. Oh yeah, this thing was going far. It was spraying on the wall. It was crazy. That's the pressure that goes up your arson. And that's what I want going on my ass. That's the pressure goes up your fucking awesome.
Starting point is 01:53:57 I have a traumatic story of, because I, and our house in Australia, we always had a bidet because my mom was like, I can't look without a bidet. So it's like, she's Japanese and she's shit like a king. Why would you go back to shooting like a peasant? She's like, let me teach you. Let me teach you Australians how to shit like a king.
Starting point is 01:54:10 So we had it in our house. But of course, when I was little, I didn't use the bidet, right? Because I didn't know what the fuck it was. I was just like, oh, buttons, but I didn't fucking press any of them. I remember first time seeing a bidet and I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:54:22 yo, do I need to do I need a license to operate this shit? I feel like if I press the long button, like this toilet's gonna take off. Here is like the fucking operating system of the bidet that you can see on screen right now, especially like going to Japan the first time and it's all in the different language as well. When I was little, I never knew how to use the bidet, right?
Starting point is 01:54:42 Because I was just learned to like, just make sure to wipe and wash your hands and then you'll be good. But, you know, when you get to like around like age six or seven, you start to get a little bit curious what these buttons are, you're just like, what, I wonder what this is. So I did the fatal mistake though. So I pushed the the bidet, like start the beday button. But I made the fatal mistake of getting up on the woman
Starting point is 01:55:00 of getting up off my seat and looking down at the toilet box. Oh no, spray you in the face. So I fucking sprayed me in the eye. And there's just water going everywhere and I'm like, I don't know how to stop this, what the fuck's happening? I actually thought I broke my toilet. So I called my mom and I'm just like,
Starting point is 01:55:15 Mom, come in, she came in, fucking bidet water going everywhere in this toilet. It's just like, what the fuck? And then the last thing she said, like she finally stopped it and she's like, you could have at least like flush your shit, man. Like I didn't have to see that. But also the bidet water is also warm.
Starting point is 01:55:32 Yeah. So it is literally like a warm shower. It is like a warm shower. Only W's, only W's. And the thing is, right, is that, you know, if you're an American or you're just a Westerner in general and you come and you see this toilet, yeah, it can be daunting, right? Because, you know, normally things don't go near your ass.
Starting point is 01:55:45 You're not used to that. No, no. Just embrace it. It feels good. You know, it's scary. But once you admit that things feel good when they spray your ass. Yeah. Like it's like discovering a new fetish.
Starting point is 01:55:57 It's like, you know what? Just give it a go. It's like, yeah, does it feel a little erotic? I'm just, it feels fucking. It does, but you know, if it feels good, the wet ass afterwards just doesn't feel good. Try it, just dry it, man. Just try it, man.
Starting point is 01:56:11 Then it doesn't feel clean. I don't know, my asshole doesn't feel properly clean. There is no proper shit. Like, I don't feel properly clean after a wipe. I feel like 90% clean after a wipe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you know there's always gonna be a little bit left. Right, right.
Starting point is 01:56:23 Like, you know that bidet is scraping that shit off. It's like washing your hands without soap. It's like you might feel clean, but you don't really until you use that soap. I know, I need to physically feel my asshole being clean and not like getting it washed. I don't know. I need to feel that shit, man.
Starting point is 01:56:39 I need to confirm with my own hands. Well, that's what you should do. You should use the bidet and then wipe it with your hand and see if it's still there. Because like, it doesn't feel properly clean to me unless I fucking shower. Like my asshole never feels clean unless I shower and I properly soap in it.
Starting point is 01:56:55 This man's like wasting fucking buckets of water to clean his ass. When you can just be using a bidet. No, you could never take too many showers. I love the feeling of taking a shower. I'm pretty sure you can take too many shower. I don't know. Your skin is like natural oil that it needs.
Starting point is 01:57:09 Yeah, yeah. You can't get rid of it gone. I don't know, like for me, I love the feeling, especially in summer when it's hot, just taking like a nice, a nice cold shower. That's a little different though. That's a bit different. But like even now in the winter, I take like three showers.
Starting point is 01:57:23 Like I get a bit cold. You take three showers? Yeah, sometimes. Why? But not not like. No, no, you don't fucking upload videos, you're in the fucking shower. Not not, not like, not like properly long shower.
Starting point is 01:57:33 It's just like sometimes I get a bit cold. Like, yeah, like I said, my, like either I'm too stuffy or I'm too cold. So sometimes I can't be bothered to wait for the fucking heater to go on. Just pop in the shower, like get a bit of warm water in me. All right. You are, I'm back up, I'm back up to warm. This man spends more time in the shower thinking of ideas than actually community.
Starting point is 01:57:52 This man is not the clown. Here's the whole circus. You know what's also fucked up as well about you gone? I hate to bully you this episode, but you don't use your bath at all, do? You and Sydney don't take baths. I don't either, though. No, I mean, okay, I don't like taking a bath in like,
Starting point is 01:58:08 it feels like I'm in like a prison cell bath. You know what I mean? I feel like I'm taking a, like, okay, so Japanese baths are fucking tiny. They're not bad, yours isn't that bad. You can sit in there. Okay, if I can't stretch my legs out in the bath, then it's not even a bath to me.
Starting point is 01:58:22 Well, I don't even stretch them out fully. It's a glorified sink in that place. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the point is you have to take a bath like, like this. You do the fucking- It's not that bad. The L-V-L position? No. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 01:58:37 It's not that bad. I take like, I would say 90% baths, 10% showers. Really? No, no. Yeah, honestly. Because in Japan, right, the best thing is, is that you can like reserve your bath. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As it says.
Starting point is 01:58:52 Yeah. Which is like, if you know what time you're waking up, you can set the bath to be full and or by that time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, why the fuck do we not have this in any- It's the biggest brain move? Like, would they have like fucking NASA in the US, but they haven't figured out how to fucking schedule a bath?
Starting point is 01:59:06 Like, I know what time I'm gonna wake up. I know what time I need to be in that bathtub. Why can I not do this basic fucking function? Right, right, right? And then also, you have one button, you know, like, because in the UK, right, what you have to do is turn the tap on, and keep checking on it every five minutes.
Starting point is 01:59:19 Yeah. Pain in the ass. In Japan, there's one button that fills it up to the perfect amount or the amount you set at the exact temperature that you set. How is, this is the, this is the, the fucking future man. Like, why wouldn't I take a bath every day?
Starting point is 01:59:31 I just feel like for me, baths are just not ergonomically designed for me. Cause like I feel like I'm too tall to properly appreciate a good bath, right? You're not that much tall than Connor. You're not that much tall than me wet. Okay, because like I love onsense, right? The reasons I love onsense is I'm submerging water
Starting point is 01:59:46 and I'm in a comfortable position. I can never get in a comfortable position in any of, in any of the baths I've like ever owned in my life. Because here's the issue, right? So I wanna stretch my legs out, but then my body is above of the water.
Starting point is 01:59:58 So you go submerge yourself and then you unsubmerge and then your body just gets cold, right? Peak bath position, right? It's like the water's up to like here. Yeah. Your arms are out at the tub. You know, maybe watching something there? Like that's the best.
Starting point is 02:00:11 Yeah. Maybe you've got a beer as well. Because then your upper body is like cold. I like, no, no, no, no. It's the perfect temperature control. Yeah. Because your head is like free, you've got this bit getting cold
Starting point is 02:00:21 and then you got the rest of your body boiling. Also, because the bath water is so hot, it, the hot, like the steam from the hot water makes the room warm as well. Yeah, it's, I feel like you just haven't given baths the true shot they deserve gone. No, I mean, Japan, again, you're wasting another potential of Japan,
Starting point is 02:00:37 which is how fucking good the baths are. No, the baths are way too small here. I don't wanna be sitting. If my, if my legs are curled, then that's not a bath to me. I, what we're doing? You're not fucking daddy long legs in this, like you're not that much tall.
Starting point is 02:00:51 Next time I'm going to your house. Baths are meant to be relaxing. And I understand, I need, I need to be in a company. I don't fucking believe you. That's why I love onsends and I just don't take baths. Showers, showers to me are just more relaxing. I don't believe. Next time I'm going to your house, I'm forcing you to get in the bath with your clothes on.
Starting point is 02:01:09 Just sit there. I want to judge this position. It's bullshit. I don't believe you. Yeah, we have one in the studio. Go in this one. Okay, well, after this episode. That one's tiny as well. That one's too tiny. That one is actually smaller than normal,
Starting point is 02:01:20 but we'll get gone in there and what's going on. We'll post a screenshot. The other thing of like, I have, like, the only times I've had baths is in my home in England and I don't know, like the way, okay, like, do you, okay, when you're in a bath, do you put your legs towards the tap or do you put like your back towards the tap?
Starting point is 02:01:38 Legs towards the tap always, what animal puts their back towards the tap? Because the tap is always like, I don't know, I always have like, I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes sometimes I like accidentally hit the tap and it's either too hot or too cold and it just like ruins the entire vibe for me. You want the legs there because they're like,
Starting point is 02:01:55 you don't wanna burn your back. I've actually done that before, and I think that's just, I don't think that's just completely, you are a clown, you are a clown, you are a clown right here. Also, I saw your bath at your parents' house, it wasn't that nice, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Starting point is 02:02:08 Like, even if I'm in a fucking nice hotel, I'm like, I don't take a fuck to this. Bro, there's nothing better than a hotel that is a big ass bag. Yeah, I agree. That's like, that's like the only time where I'm exclusively like fuck showers, I'm going in that bar.
Starting point is 02:02:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah, always, always. Also, I like the feeling or just having, like, water, like, spraying on you. I don't know, it's just like a nice, well, then go out into the rain. Honestly, okay, honestly like, rain in Southeast Asia is fucking great, okay? Cause I like, we, when we think of rain,
Starting point is 02:02:38 we think of like cold, fucking depressing British rain that just fucking, it's like God blew a fucking raspberry in you and I hate that feeling, right? But in Thailand, when it rains, it fucking pours. And it's probably like, and it's warm as well. It's like taking a warm shower. It doesn't I feel like you're just getting Yeah, it also it's so fucking humid
Starting point is 02:02:59 because it was doing that in Japan in the summer it was raining and it was like deceiving because I'm like, finally I'll be cold. But no, it was just more fucking heat directly applied to my skin. That's what I hated about when I went to the Philippines, like for the first time
Starting point is 02:03:11 and it was like May, so it wasn't even like properly hot yet. Yeah. But because it's the Southeast Asia, it's still fucking hot in May. Yeah, and the moment I got outside, my hair just fucking turned into an afro because of the amount of humidity. And then there was a pool where we were staying. So I was like, oh, thank God, I can finally jump in the pool
Starting point is 02:03:27 and I'll cool myself off. No, because it was so fucking humid outside, it was like walking into a fucking puddle of piss. Like it was, it was horrible. I was like, I like heated pools and I like regular pools, but the temperature of this pool is like halfway in between of that, and it was just like lukewarm kind of water.
Starting point is 02:03:44 That makes you feel like someone's shit in it. Yeah, right? It doesn't make the water feel clean. It's like perfect bacteria temperature. It makes you feel real gross. Exactly, yeah. Bro, that's why cold showers are like fucking amazing. They are amazing.
Starting point is 02:03:58 I mean, that's why when I used to swim in public pools, the best ones were like the ones that are initially cold, but you get warm as you swim. Exactly, yeah. Because that's like nice, because it also forces you to keep swimming. Yeah. And you don't get too comfortable. That's the ones where you just like, you feel the water
Starting point is 02:04:09 and you're like, oh, that's cold. But I'm just gonna commit and just fully jump in and submerge my body all at once. And then you're fine after that. Yeah, yeah. I'm like this. I can't believe you're just an animal gone. I can take the person out of Thailand,
Starting point is 02:04:24 but you can't. Don't take the peasant. Sorry, sorry, the Thailand don't a pest. Fuck, I messed that up. I have the superior taste. I'm just, I'm just, don't eat crust. Look, this, I just want to exist happily. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:04:37 That's all I want to do. I want you to exist correctly, Gar. I want you to use the bidet when you can and I want you to take a bath every now. Treat yourself, God. Yeah, treat yourself. I don't, you're better than that. I don't want a wet fucking ass.
Starting point is 02:04:48 You don't have to be, wipe. That's what toilet paper was invented for. Then I don't want wet fucking fingers after I wipe. That's just, how fucking weird is your ass? Are you pouring your ass out with your bare hands? What are you doing? Maylene, your hands don't get wet when you use a bidet, do they? Right? See?
Starting point is 02:05:05 It is disgusting. That's why I hate it. I am using toilet paper. He's just using his hands. He's using the heat of friction to warm his ass back up to evaporate the water of his cheeks. What are you doing, gone? His ass cheeks is like... Okay, you know what? I want to watch you shit after this.
Starting point is 02:05:22 I want to see what you're doing. I need to judge your text. You're doing it all wrong. Just fucking do it. I'm ready. Shit review, let's go. Can we get a GoPro inside of the toilet bowl to see what's going on?
Starting point is 02:05:31 Yeah, I want a bidet camp just to see. I need to see what's going on. You see what you're doing in this fucking bowl gone. Next special. The bidet special. The Bade special. Will Gart be able to learn how to use a bidet correctly? Needless to say, I am 100% bringing back a bidet
Starting point is 02:05:47 if I have a house. I am bringing back a katatsu. That is, I'm bringing back a heated toilet seat and a katatsu. Well, you don't need the toilet seat. You can just get the heated element, right, and screw it on. It's just a box that makes heat. It's basically, yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:02 No, because you need like, you need like the heated element, you need like the table and you need like the cover on top of the table to like place the blanket. Yeah, because the good thing about a Cortazus is that in the summer you can still use it because all you have to do is just take the sheet off. And then turns back into a regular table. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 02:06:16 So it's like a specially made table, yeah. Yeah. Cortazos is a bomb. Katatsu's are like the best thing in Japan. No. Best? One of the best things. Bedei, all my homies.
Starting point is 02:06:27 He did Taurus Cesar a close second. I'm on team Badei in this instance, I think. I love my Kotatsu, but man, there's nothing more disgusting than a gross asshole. I'm saying right there. How dirty is you, I don't even wanna imagine. Maybe you guys are just shitting wrong. No, we're not shitting wrong, gone.
Starting point is 02:06:45 What's the wrong way of shitting? Like, what, shit on the wall? How is it wrong if I have a great time, I end up perfectly clean, I'm very happy, and my ass is wet? I'm doing it the right way as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, you're shitting wrong. If you end up with a fucking swampy asshole.
Starting point is 02:06:58 Gantz like instructions unclear adopted a child. Like what's, what are you doing on this toilet, man? I saw your fucking life out, bro. I'm thinking of fucking bomb-ass videos on the toilet and in the shower as well. Clearly not thinking about personal hygiene or saying dry. I am very happy with my personal hygiene.
Starting point is 02:07:15 Man, I have a poopy asshole, but I got a great video idea. That's exactly it, man. That's exactly it. That's like literally stinky poop. Oh, stinky. But hey, look at all these lovely patrons who are helping to support the show.
Starting point is 02:07:29 These patrons are team bidet. A question to you patrons this time, right? So I did that little reference, because Gant loves to say that. That's the joke. Question to you. We boys, we'd like to do a tour or something in the US. Oh yeah, we've got to talk about that, don't we? Would you guys be interested in us maybe doing
Starting point is 02:07:45 Trash Tastes Live across the US? Would that be something that maybe... It's just a very brief idea of course. We can't do it now because of the state of the world, but... But maybe in like a year or something. Yeah, whenever the US gets its shit back together, I think, like we'll definitely be open to that idea. But are you guys open to that idea?
Starting point is 02:08:00 Is more of the question, so I guess let us know. Gage interest if that's something you guys want to do. So definitely let us know. And if you like to support the show, then of course, go over to patreon.com slash trash taste. Also follow us on Twitter.
