What's up? Welcome back to another episode of The Trash Taste Podcast. I'm Joey and I'm with the boys gone Connor as usual. And we have a familiar face back. Oh my God. Introduce yourself. There you go. There it.

There it is. He's been on for two and a half years. It's Ditis. He's back. I'm an animator. I'm introducing myself. They know who you are. No, no.

Because last time I didn't introduce myself, this guy is like, how pompous of this guy. He's like, he doesn't even tell who he is. He expects everyone to know him. And I was like, sorry. my first time on camera. If I remember, you've held on to that for two and a half years. Yeah, well, you know, it's honest,

it's a good criticism. If I remember correctly as well, you were on episode 99 and even though, especially for our audio only people, we were like, introduce yourself and you just went, like no sound, audio people are like, is he there? If I had it my way, I'd be like,

yeah, so it's been a while since you last came on. It's been, oh, f***. Like, year and a half, two and a half years. Two and a half years. Why you gotta say it like that? Just a long time. He was here before we were on triple digits and now we're like what, 220 something?

That's crazy, you guys are still going, huh? Yeah, no. You're this person we mentioned every now and again on our stories. So I thought it'd only be fair to invite you back on. Yeah, yeah, because sometimes I hear like, from Woodin, he's like, did you know that he said this about you changing clothes and I was like, what? He was roasting me changing my clothes?

Yo, is that River Island? Island. Is that river island? I got the little crane. I'm a cartoon character. I have like one shirt and then I just- No, I'm the cartoon character. You're also.

Yeah, when we had to draw Conner's right, we always have that shirt on. Actually, that's what's been the most helpful thing about that. Is that like now, because I have generic, yeah, generic white guy face where like everyone on the Reddit thinks like, oh, white guy with a beard, it's Connor. But the one thing that now you can recognize me by is if people draw me in these colors, you know,

That's me. True. It's so helpful. It's been great. It's been good. Yeah, but how do we solve that? Because every time there's an Indian guy, there's like, oh, it's Joe.

Yeah. It's not, right. Maybe you should become an Indian guy. Yeah, I think I, I think, you know what? 2025, whereas Luoian, I'm just gonna learn Hindi. Yeah, honestly. Honestly, yeah. Our viewership in India would crush.

My Indian problem is Indian. Yeah. You just said you were Indian. Yeah, I should just like try and go on a Hollywood movie. Hollywood movie next year. That's what's gonna happen. You can be ahead in the T-series. I'll be like T series, please.

But obviously you've started Spilled Inc. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We were all like, please start this. Do it. I was struggling a lot last year. It was a struggle.

Yeah. But hey, you got it out. Like Spillink as like the launch is gone incredibly. Like it feels like an actual YouTuber now. Yeah, it's insane. You know like whenever, you know, when I was animating every, I still try, I'm still trying, I'm still burnt out. still burnt out. Like I'm working on a video right now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So hard. Yeah. Yeah. Um, a lot of, every time I heard you guys being like, oh, I'm gonna make a backlog for when I go visit this place. And I'm like in my head, like before Spill Dick, I was just like, must be nice. Having a backlog. My God. But you got a backlog now, now I can make a backlog. And I was like, so this is what it feels like. This is unreal. Does it make you feel like responsible that you have to meet a weekly deadline every week? I, I like it, though, because it kind of feels like. You're doing work. It feels like an accomplishment because like with the animation, like you just have to pray.

You're like, can I finish it a month? Can I finish it a month? And then like, will it receive well? Yeah. It pisses me off because like YouTube is just, I don't mean to go on YouTube. Oh, no, no. This is a quick one too, but like basically YouTube does not favor animators at all unless you get sponsors. And then like.

But even then, I mean, like, yeah, I looked at the CPM. I was like, I like make like, like, I only make like half of it on my real channel. It's like crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's watch time, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. YouTube likes long videos. I mean, I, a lot of the time people ask me,

they ask for advice on YouTube and I'll look at their YouTube channel. They'll be uploading like six minute videos. YouTube doesn't know what the fuck to do with the six minute video. Yeah. It's like, what the fuck is this? The two metas now are just like the giga short videos or the giga long. Well, because YouTube shorts exist now. So it's like, six minutes is now in between a short and a proper video.

Yeah, because the three minutes is the longest short. Yeah. So it's like, it's like, pick a lane, please. Unless it's like something very like culturally relevant or something really significant that can be six minutes. A lot of the time you don't like it. Have you found it refreshing to know that you can just go in

and you can plan that, okay, this recording's gonna take X amount of time and then it takes X amount of time. And you're like, yo, actually it's done. It feels like it's done, yeah. Like the animation is just feels like you're like, I mean, like I love animation, but I've been doing it for a long time. Yeah.

And it feels like right now to me, if sometimes it feels like shackles, if you don't get it done, if it takes longer than a month and it starts feeling like... I realize, I didn't explain Spill Inc. Spilling is Didas and Emily's new channel where every week they kind of just have like

a fun drawing challenge. Yeah, traditional. Traditional. It could be traditional art. You try to make the food, plastic foods in Japan one time. Yeah. You kind of do anything that is creative.

Like traditional art. Yeah, it's been really cool to see. And I think I saw a clip where you said like, it kind of made you, like art again. Yeah. Because you've got to try all these different art. So I mean, not to like get into AI, whatever.

I'll just do it quickly. But it made me feel like, like, you know, the human touch is very nice. So that's why I think like my brain is just like, you know what? I want to do traditional. I want to go back. Yeah. The caveman days or whatever. I'm drawing in drawing on the cave balls.

I feel like as. The more AI progresses, the more like people are gonna start regressing back to it. Oh, of course. You see people like collecting vials or like, mm-re record-fire. Yeah, literally me. That's literally Joey. For Christmas, I was like thinking about it was like, should I get into vinyl? But then I'm scared because then it's like a, I already-

It's a slippery slope, yeah, so sure. I don't think because you sometimes when you listen to music or you do all the stuff and you're like, oh, I got like this playlist I like and then you realize like you have nothing to like kind of be like, I like this music. Like it's just kind of this thing in the voice. It tells you you like this music. You don't even own it. Yeah. Yeah.

So it's kind of, I understand that we are kind of going towards more physical stuff. But it's expensive because it is expensive. And these companies know it. It's become more of like a collector's item. But it feels nice to just own something. Yeah, I didn't truly understand what that meant when the transition was still happening.

I bought some vinyl. I don't know if I can final player. I just want a tats through your mash to finals. Yeah. I just wanted it. It looks sick. I think the full art of the album, it's like the sickest part.

And then you have like the inside as well. Yeah. And then you can make the disc like look cool. Yeah. I realized I was just like out of my element when I was in the vinyl stores because I was not as a seasoned of a pro

as these other vinyl enjoyers because in Japan there was this guy in the store, you know, I'm like pulling it like grab my kid, no, I don't want that one. This guy's gonna, oh yeah. No, that one do, my fuck is this.

Yeah, I do the two fingers. This guy's going so fast. You do it. He's going so fast through this thing. It's crazy. I'll be so slow. Oh, man. I mean, it's fine.

You can take your time. Like, there's no one gatekeeping you. Yeah, but I just felt like this, like, if I, you know, I'm looking at this thing and I can tell this guy, like, get out of the way. Get out of the way. I want to, I want to pull it all the way. Well, he knows what he's looking for. Yeah, exactly.

That's what he wants. Yeah, exactly. You've seen it a hundred times already. You're like, give me something. Yeah. Yeah. He's looking for the new, the new release. Exactly.

I feel like gamers are like, they're fighting the most for physical media. Like, they're trying, the industry is trying so hard to go digital. And gamers like, no, no, stop it. Well, yeah, I feel that's what's gonna happen, right? Is that like, we're gonna get to that point where, like, you know, collectors boxes and stuff like that for like games and stuff is going to be like really valuable. I mean, you know, old like NES and like Super Nintendo cartridges

is now going for like stupid amounts of money sometimes. So it's like that's just gonna keep happening. I feel the more digital we get. Yeah. Yeah, because like, you know, in this day and age, if you buy something, do you really own it? Or is the ownership up to the publisher to be like, okay, we allow you to download this game

and still play it. But if they, you know, if the store shuts down or if the system shuts down, you're fucked. Yeah, it's like actually you don't own it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, all games get delisted or taken off. Yeah, yeah. I think Sega just removed a ton of their old games

from like the Dreamcast off steam. Oh, really? Stuff like that, so you wanna play that now. Some players like, notice they like change things. You're like, I wasn't ever for? I bought all these old games because I was like, I wanna have them just in case I ever wanna play these games.

I will never ever play these games, but it was nice to know that they're in my library and I could play them. And it's sad that they remove them because probably because they're just gearing up for some kind of Genesis collection or something. Probably, yeah, like a legacy collection. Yeah, they always do this.

They always do this. So all of us have been on Spill-Dink so far. Yeah, yeah, had a lot of fun. Joey's was coming out soon. Yeah, anime quiz two. And then we might have you do a video game challenge. Oh, yeah, we gotta record a video as well. We had a video idea that we wanna do.

I gotta hear up. We can keep that secret, I get to. Okay, I'll keep that. All right. So now that we've all recorded our videos with you, honest, honest critiques, how's our art skills?

I'm just surprised. Like, you know, I think Joey's is pretty, pretty good. I thought you drew before, I believe it. Yeah. Like, um, and you, like, you surprised me because, I was expecting worse because when I went to Conner, he said, he told me like your drawings were, it's gonna be so funny and it was.

but it's still like, I see some form there and I saw some perspective. What I realized doing this building episode is like, okay, I understand shapes. I like, I'm such an engineer. I'm just like, okay, if I didn't need to draw something that included like a shape, I'm like, I got this down. Yeah, engineer, yeah, I noticed like the vase.

You're like, oh yeah, yeah, that's very engineering. Yeah, yeah. Can't do faces. Faces are so hard to draw. Faces, bodies, anything. anatomical, I'm fine. I make everyone look like a Minecraft character. That's just like constant,

it's not constant practice. It's like you can get like, that's why artist styles come in and it's because you keep repetition. Just repetition. Your brain picks up on pattern repetition and then eventually your brains just like, I'll draw it like this.

Yeah. Do you like, so what's like the basic fucking technique to like just draw faces or draw like bodies? Because all I see is like the fucking circle shit, man. I mean, it's still hard. It's that meme right. It's like how to draw.

like start with a circle. Step two. Draw the fucking owl. Yeah, draw the owl. That's such a good meme. I love that meme. Yeah, honestly, I think that meme, like, is the most best meme because it's true. Yeah, yeah.

You know the how to books. They always go step one, step two. It never works. No. You just got to like practice. I'm sure we all at some point in our lives, you know, was like looked at that fucking how to draw anime. Oh, the classic.

Oh, I'm a classic book and you're looking at it and you're like, maybe I can start. And then the few people that did actually pick up that book are just like, I don't know how to do this shit. Well, the art books in Japan are just cracked. Really? Yeah, they go in. You're like, you want to learn Clip Studio Paint? Well, here's like every layer like whatever. Damn.

Yeah. So like before Spilled ink, you mainly just drew digital, right? Yeah. On the animate CC, that will be. No. I don't. I don't. We don't have to go there.

So yeah, congratulations on the spilled link, spilled ink, Lord. Spilled Link. Spilled Link. Spilled Link's fucking great. I like it a lot. Yes. So by the time this is coming out, it's still the new years, but it's the new year by now, but we're filming this just before we fly off. So you are going back home for the Christmas holidays, right?

Back to May. Well, we're going to fly to Malaysia and do Comic Fest. I think it's called. Yeah, Comic Fester. The food in Malaysia got to be so far. Yeah. I, I, I've never been. So I, my number one priority when I go anywhere new, I'm like, food.

Food. Dude, it is, it is. It is a food, bro. I want to go to Malaysia for the food. Yeah. I like the best part is it's like, I ask someone, like, what's the best Malaysian food? And they go, blah, blah, blah.

And I'm like, yes, I don't know what it is. That's perfect. Like, if I don't know what it is, I'm down for me. Write it down. Can you come to the restaurant with me in order for me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, show me around. Give me the best, whatever you think is the best.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're going to go in that for an anime convention, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Emily one last time she said that the people over there very nice and welcoming. Yeah. I mean, everyone in Southeast Asia normally is, like, such a fucking awesome community out of there

in Southeast Asia. True. Yeah, I mean, I've been invited to Comic Fiesta like a couple of times now, but just I haven't been able to go because it's always, like, during the Christmas period. Christmas cons are so tough to go to. Yeah, same with like Comic Ken, right?

It's like, it's always during like the New Year's Christmas period. And it's like, I want to go, but it's just like the most inconvenient time. It is, it is. You know? Like, we're trying, we're going to straight back to Maine, but it could be like a day before Christmas. Right. Wait, when is it, when is lobster in season? Like summer.

It's like crab season. You can still get it. Is it good? Is it like, is it legit? It's still good. You gotta know you're a lobster dealer, you know. You gotta know your lobster dealer. Mom knows someone.

She knows someone. You got to get them cheap, you know? You gotta know someone. How would you spot like a good, like if I'm a tourist, how do I find a good lobster roll in man? They're all good. They're all good. It's hard to find like a bad one.

Well, you have to make sure it's like kind of like, you know, near the water. Right. If it's like in the middle of the city. Well, actually, if you go up north and it's just a middle of nowhere, like it's still good. It's all just that good. That's why lobster rolls are like 20 bucks, like 20. I want it, I want it so bad. I've had lobster rolls here,

but they'd have to import all the lobsters in Japan. Come over. Yeah, yeah. Cause, you know, we don't really get the main lobsters in Asia. It's more like the spiny lobsters. Yeah, and then when if you go to a fancy restaurant in Japan that serves like lobster, it's always shipped from like Canada,

like North parts of Canada. Yeah, and then they lie, they're like, this is main lobster and I'm like, no, not limit. Because Asia only has spiny lobsters, which is these like really tiny ones. Yeah. They're not like the super meaty, Big ones.

Oh, no, the spiny lobsters can get pretty big. Yeah, but they're nowhere near as big as the normal lobsters. I think they can get, no, we gotta Google this. I, I don't know. No, no shot. I, you know, I prefer the main lobsters. He's Seabby, right?

That's what they call you. I said, yeah, I never had the spiky. Five pounds, 18 inches. Yeah, they can get pretty fucking big. Yeah, that's a big boy. It's pretty big, man. How about the normal lobsters get? There must be scrunchers then.

Well, me, I mean, I thought, I mean, I thought, I mean, he said he's great. The time you go to a fucking one in America, no, one in Japan, you see the fucking tiny, he said, every, I thought he'd be that are like, proper, like, size. Like monsters, those ones.

You're looking at the claw, you know. So 15 pounds versus what, okay, no, that doesn't sound right, okay, what's going on here? 18 inches, what's that in real measurements? Uh, I, I just, I don't know. Either way, I think I'm wrong. Look, they're both, they're both huge. They're both chunky boys.

I've never seen a fucking big, yeah, spiny, What the fuck? I gotta find one. Yeah, cause when I go to Thailand and get spiny lobsters, that fucking massive though. They are massive, but I still prefer the taste of like, I love Thailand. I love Thailand.

Hell yeah, man. Oh, you like Thailand? Hell yeah, man. Remember we went for a second wedding? Yeah. Dude, I love Thailand. And yeah, you were fighting tooth and nail to avoid coconut at all costs.

Oh, yeah, coconut's gross. That's crazy. You're like, I love. I love Southeast Asia and 90% of the cuisine is like coconut. I think I ate more food at Gant's like wedding reception than like the next three people can die. I legitimately, I think I lost count how many plates of saute you ate.

I ate so much. You ate so many. I think I'm like the dream for every Asian grandmother. Yeah, I will not stop. I'll be like, so you've only had seven meals here. Like, okay, let's go. You're the one person where an auntie comes to you and asks you to eat more.

And then she's like, wait, he's actually saying, he's actually doing what I say every single time. Yeah, I don't know. She was so good in Thailand. I could stop. You know what's sad? You know, I think it's sad, though. Like, you know, I'm like, I'm like half Asian.

Yeah. Cambodian, Chinese, Irish, Lithuanian, whatever. Yeah. Yeah. But like, I went to Thailand before even going to Cambodia. To Cambodia. I still haven't visited Cambodia because I was like, I was like, mom, how come you never took me to Cambodia?

Like, you know, when I was young. Yeah. And she was too afraid because she was like, they were kidnapping tourists at the time. And I was like, I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, you probably won't be kidnapped. Yeah, I think I should go soon. Yeah, yeah. Because I enjoyed Thailand, so.

Yeah, I have heard though from like my parents, they've been to Cambodia a couple of times and they're like, yeah, you definitely have to be a little more cautious, but it's like not as bad. You have to go to the safe areas, right? Yeah, yeah. There are like, clearly, like, dangerous areas and safe areas. Is this still like minefields aren't there?

aren't there? Probably. Yeah, but you probably wouldn't be walking. It's not like in the city sense. Yeah, no tall guy's gonna be like, and here are the landmine. We like to do a game. Don't walk in unless. Yeah.

I mean, I think Anthony Bourdain said the food is phenomenal there. Dude, that's the best part about like, you know, it's just the price of the food. Like Thailand is so, yeah, yeah. But then we go to a mall and we went to the mall in Thailand and I was like, shit, more expensive than fucking Japan. What the fuck? Fuck.

Well, you went to the touristy places. Yeah, we're in the city. Yeah, yeah. Because you were like, let's go to the mall. And it was kind of cool. The mall was crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the best part.

It's the best part. Yeah, it's so fun. I didn't even, I, the price was already low enough. I just wanted Gantt to continue. Yeah, yeah, this is so fun. I could watch it for days, well. Yeah, because we were gonna get a taxi and 20 Thai dudes spawned with taxis.

Yeah, they did, didn't there? And they were all bartering, fighting each other, trying to give us the taxi. I'm a bad Haggler as well. It's, yeah. You're a good hagling, John. No, no, no, no, it's good. My aunties, they're like the pro hacklers.

Me, I'm just like, oh. No, no, gone, you know you're good when you have, like, there's, like, four men and you're talking to one guy, and then the guy goes to his other friends and start whispering, like, and they come back and they're like, okay, fine. So that's how you know when you're good, the hagglers. I just, you just got to know what the local prices are, and you're just going to be like, all right.

The local prices. Yeah, the local prices. That's true. They do, like, they see anyone that looks touristy. They're like, I can upcharge this guy. Yeah, I'm like, all I say is like, I know how much actually costs.

So come on, come on. Fair, fair. It reminds me like when I take my, my mom, who's Cambodian to, like, Chinatown, she always haggles for like the bags. She just always haggles, like, every time.

I think it's just in the blood. As a white person, I didn't know you could haggle in China. Really? Yeah, you can haggle in Chinatown. I didn't know that. Like any Chinatown. What the fuck?

Yeah. Sometimes it's a vibe check. What the fuck? Yeah, it's true. Because I think they intentionally sell like, oh, this bag's like 200, counterfeit, by the way. Yeah.

This is $200. You can haggle it down to like 20 to 40 bucks. Right. Well, first of all, I don't really go to Chinatown. But if I did, I would get scammed. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. It's probably like Japan, man. They just tell you what they want. Yeah. They just tell you the price. No bullshit. This is it. It's the price.

No stress. Maybe if I'm buying like nine things, we can agree on something if it's like a mom and pop store, but like... There is like a Japan way of haggling, though, that I've kind of discovered

over the years where it's like, This only really works in like the countryside, but it's like, you go in and you just like, you know, you just nonchalant whatever, and then you just like start casually talking

to the staff or the cashier or whatever. And if you make good enough conversations, then sometimes they weren't necessarily like lower the price, but they'll maybe throw in something for free. That's like the extent of haggling. That's like Connor was his like bartender people. What you call them? Bartender people?

What? You're bartenders. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. What do those dudes who tend the bars? Oh, yeah, bartenders. Yeah, because whenever I get a bars, I just always buy the bartender a drink or often to buy them a drink.

Yeah, they always just give, like, free stuff later on. Yeah, yeah. Not that I don't want it for that, it's just like, you can tip in Japan the only way you can tip a bartender is to buy him a drink. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying you're playing like Harvest Moon or like Star Doe Valley. You know, you're up in like the hearts.

He's like, oh, yeah, it's Connor's son. I'm gonna marry him one day. Like I love having that like relationship with like places I go to a lot. Yeah, I feel like, I don't know, it's just good for everyone. They get a customer who comes back and always spends and always, it does feel like normally, right?

Yeah, and then like when I, my parents came over recently, the coffee shop that I always go to, I was like, hey, you should come to a coffee shop with me. And they're super sweet. Like, it'll be like a case when I go there, like all three of the staff, and be like, yo, Carla, what's up?

How are you doing? How you been? And then I took my parents. You just feel fucking bowler as well. Yeah, I know. But then I took my parents and they were like, oh my god, what the fuck? I told my parents keep going

because if I was busy doing something else, I should go, you should go. And they'd always be like, my parents were getting overwhelmed by it. They were like, I don't, I don't like it. It's too much talking. Yeah. It's Mr. Social man. Yeah.

Yeah. In Japan, you get, like, you get like, you get like zero way to socialize with a lot of people. The only way you can is like, if you're going out drinking, or like random people at least. Or if you just go to the bar or place a lot and just chat with them.

That's true. Yeah. You have like a negative sense of community living in Tokyo. Yeah. And it's the one way that you can feel like you have a tiny bit of community. Is it the one places you go to a lot? You can at least strike up a conversation.

That's why you're like Golden Guy a lot, huh? That's really golden guy. Because like Golden guy's great. Golden guy's a vibe. It's getting a little touristy now, you know. Come on my spot. My spot. My spots.

Not my spots. You need to start getting to the members only places, you know. That's my spouse. There's my spots. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. So since you last came on, you've not only had one, you've had two trips to England's now.

Oh yes, the second time was much better. Okay. So I find it like, okay, obviously England can have some bad places, but you had some of the worst luck on your first England trip I've ever heard in my life. in my life. Honestly, probably the most unluckiest time of my life. Wait, so what happened? Run us through it.

Yeah, what happened? I know it's like bringing up trauma for you, but... Oh man. Where do I begin? Okay. Because I don't know anything about this first try. Okay, so first trip was... Yeah, can you jog my memory?

So I'll jog your memory. So first time, we were actually on tour in Europe. Right. I believe it was coming up to the end of the tour. Oh, okay. And so they, it was their first time in England, The first time in England and they decided to go to London first and book a hotel in London.

And didn't ask us for a recommendation. Yeah. Oh. Oh, sorry. Oh, I want to why I took that. Hey. Oh, because I guess I get oat smoke as well. So I was like, oh, I just assumed it was fine.

I don't care, but yeah, yeah, yeah. You want a kiss, making kids. I'm good, I'm good. You should have asked us. Connor, why should I stay in London? You probably thought I was going to send you like five-star hotel. That ain't mean. Well, I'm like, when I travel, I'm like,

NPC because like when I have when I have someone like Emily's Emily's a good planner. Yeah. And I'm kind of like that deal. I'm just like what we're doing today. But like I don't know what we're doing tomorrow because I'm just like, I'm just tagging along. Yeah yeah, yeah. I'm like kind of tagging about like I'm having fun doing it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure. I supply the funzies. And then the rest I'm just like. You supply the funzies. You do all the work. I have all the fun. You stress about everything. I'm going to chill. I'm just going to be here. Vibing. I think it's like Emily likes doing that stuff.

Yeah, right. Yeah, of course, cool, cool. Yeah, so, oh, now I remember. You talked about it. Yeah, your, your first hotel. So, like, yeah, I guess Emily didn't, she wanted to be, you know, nice and not be like, where are you staying at?

Let's go, like, you guys and stuff like that. So she booked a place. It was expensive. Not super duper expensive, but it was expensive enough where, like, when we get on the room, it looked like an asylum. Like, it looked like one of those crazy, I remember this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I took pictures I sent to everyone. I was just like, yeah. Yo, this is my room. It's literally a box with a bed in it. No windows. And like they had like these safety pulleys everywhere. Okay.

Like on the left side, right side in the bathroom. And it was like this red string where you can pull it. Oh, yeah. That's the for disabled people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was like, it was everywhere. And it was hanging from the ceiling. No windows.

No windows. It was just a box and a bed. And the, the bathroom too was this like, you know. That's awful. Yeah, literally I felt like I was in an asylum. Yeah, and that's the thing, you showed me the pictures and compared to like

the picture on the website. That's crazy. Which was like a beautiful fucking bed. Right. Beautifully lit. It's like really atmospheric. And it's just literally like- You get your money back there, right?

No. What? No, it's all like, Sydney felt really bad. and Gart, I guess, whatever. Yeah, because they just traveled like, 14, 16. So you guys like booked. Yeah, well, and Emily, you're like, you're saying it.

Our hotel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it was the hotel that we were at on tour. We got there and we're like, oh, so much. Oh, an actual room. Like, oh. Yeah. But after we saw Hamilton, which was great, which was fun.

Oh yeah, that was banger. Was that all your first times? Hamilton. Hamilton? Yeah. I'd heard about it, but I was just like, yeah,

well, I was, it was my first time. I feel like you had the same kind of, I can't speak, bro. Experience.

Experience as me where you're like, I'm not really, yeah, it was cool. Like, the play was cool. And then later on,

as you're like, talking about it. Yeah, yeah. No, you're like, you start listening to music again. You're just like,

wait a second, it's getting stuck in my head. Oh, right there's 41. He weren't 41 essays. No way. Yeah, yeah. So, like, it grows on you, I feel.

Yeah, yeah, because I came out and, you know, you and you and Emily were so hyped for it. And I was like, yeah, that was an enjoyable experience. I'll probably forget about that. And then it just, it just, like, refuse to, some of the songs just refuse to leave my mind. They have a lot of call their actions there where they're like, giving away my shot.

You're like, not giving away with my shot. I don't know. What other things they say? Yeah. Oh, helpless or whatever. How many songs you know from Hamilton? I don't see, the thing is I'm like Connor. I don't remember lyrics.

I don't know. Oh, I'm a beep boops guy. I'm a beep boop guy. You're real one. Show me a Spotify rap. It's like number one Hamilton soundtrack. It depends on my mood. Yeah, for sure.

My music's just mood based. Yeah. Fair enough. And then didn't you have another shit hotel? Yeah, so afterwards. I forgot we're on this topic. So afterwards, they will, they'll, like, oh, come stay in Brighton for a few days. We'll show you around Bryson.

Sorry. And they all went wrong. They decided to book another hotel in Brighton as well. Do you want to explain what happened there? Yeah, so it was a nice, it was a nice cozy place. They had like rug. Yeah, see, that's the problem. They had rug, so.

A single rug. I'm hinting towards something. Okay, okay. They have rug floor. Oh, rug floor, okay. It's pretty common in the UK. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I think that's a problem.

Anyways, we, uh, we're, well, oh, yeah, this is a nice place. I was just chill. It's just chill. And then as we're sleeping, we're sleeping. And then, like, Emily just woke up, itching. Oh. And I'm like, what? What's wrong?

And she's like, I don't know. I feel itchy. And I was like, I was like, no, no, no. No, no. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah. Let's just get up and check.

And then, like, we got up from the bed to check. And it was like a nightmare. It was like, I can't unsee it. Like, once you get. get the thing, you're just, you're just scarred for life. That's all you saw the bug, just slowly crawling across the pillowcase. And another one like, like on the mattress just crawling. And it's funny is that Emily does like, she does a bed bug check every time.

Yeah. Sometimes you just don't catch it. Right. Yeah. So we found out we opened up the pillowcase. They're inside the pillowcase. Oh. How many?

Like seven. And you know, it's the funniest part is because I'm less scarred because, I mean, it's not really funny, but it is kind of fun. They ignored me. They just bit Emily. So I was like less affected. I already had my trauma in like college. I did have. I had bug bugs once.

Some guy brought him over. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, like we had this bed bugs. And we called, we called the hotel. We're like, hey, we have, we have bedbugs. and the owner, like, you know what? I give him credit.

Like, unfortunately they had bedbugs. And he was like begging. He was like, please don't make a negative review. I beg you. I beg you, my family and everything. And he just started, he started offering, he started offering hush money. I'm taking it. And I, yeah, we took it because just because we're like, you know what?

This guy, like, at least the owner is coming out, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like, uh, someone. Yeah. It's the owner. And he's like, you, he, he, It felt genuine. He's like, this is my first time doing bedbugs.

I'm so sorry. Like, let me drive. He took his car. He drove us to your house. Our house. So you saved us again. But like, yeah, I felt, you know, it sucks. Yeah.

You know, that is his first, maybe it's, I don't know if flying, but I felt like it's genuine. If he's like, it sounds genuine. If the owner himself coming out and he's like, you know, that never happened. The worst hotel I ever stayed in the UK was also in Brighton. I think they have the worst fucking hotels. They must. Yeah, I guess so. What hotel did you stay in?

They were literally the one on the sea front. You know the big one? I think it's like known to be like one of the worst hotels in the UK. What the grand? The one that's literally right next to the pier on the corner. Old chip.

Might be the old chip. It was awful, it was awful, dude. There was so much mold in the room. I mean, both times I stayed in Brayton, I just stayed to his house. I was like, I'm not testing my life. I'm a brighton hair in that day onwards.

That's also a problem. Like when we got bed bugs, Oh my God. We were like so afraid. We had this like huge, what you call it? I don't know. Trauma, fear. Trauma.

Fear. Fear. Fear. Fear. Of bringing anxiety. Yes. Of bringing the bedbugs to Garn's house. Because we're like, oh yeah.

You don't want like Garn's parents being like, you brought these motherfuckers over and you gave us bed bugs. I mean, you just like put those clothes in a bag, shower. Yeah. We did every, we did all the steps. We looked it over like, like triple, triple, we did. We instantly put it in the washing machine. Yeah, like we checked every corner.

Yeah, yeah. Those are sneaky bastards. They are. Assassins, they are. Yeah. They are, right? They're crazy. But then you came back to the UK and it was better?

It got worse. Oh. Wait, what? Yeah, the second trip was worse? No, no, no. I'm still, this is the first trip. Oh, this is the first trip. It gets worse?

It gets worse. Way worse. So, like, the whole bed bug thing and the bad hotel thing and then, like, you know, I'm sure there's other things that happened. As we're going back on the plane, our plane flight got delayed. We ended up in India. What?

What? Yeah, we ended up in the airport India. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. Wait, how did you end up in India? Oh, because it was a connecting. Oh, so you're always supposed to stop in India?

Yeah, I wasn't supposed to stop there. Oh, Dubai. Sorry, Dubai. Sorry, Dubai. Sorry, Dubai. I'm dumb. Okay. Dubai. What sucked was at the, as, as it was happening, I was on the flight. Mm-hmm. And I couldn't get the airplane.

The Wi-Fi wasn't working. Oh, man. I got a message that was just like, something bad really happened. Yeah. I thought it was my grandma. I was just like, oh, no. She's old enough, but no, like, you know? Yeah.

So I was like texting back, like constantly with my dad. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened? What happened? But like, like, it wouldn't go through. The message you want to go through. Oh. And then I got the message.

Finally, right when we like, you get, you get to a set altitude. And then, like, after I got the message, I was just, like, sad. Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, of course, man. Of course. Yeah. It's like the worst flight to have back sad because if you're stuck in this fucking plane next to someone farting. Yeah.

No, and it was embarrassing. Well, it's not embarrassing. It's just normal, but, like, I was, like, bawling. Yeah, of course. But, like, there's people around me that's just like. Yeah. It's like, it's hard to be vulnerable when you're in that place. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just want to be home. Yeah, yeah. I got a fucking layover in Dubai. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough to talk about it. It's literally like the strawberry on top of the Sunday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was just like, damn. Yeah, I got hit by life. Yeah. And, you know, just the fact that you decided to come back to England after that just shows that. Damn. Yeah. I'm so, you were committed to leave a good memory. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm glad you decided to come back. Well, God, you like, you, I think you, you tried your best to be like, okay, this is not happening. Ever again, let's just make sure you get good food and all that stuff. So the food, the first time I wanted, the food was like, I mean, I think it's partially my fault is because I was looking for the fish and chips. Yeah, oh, okay. You know, I had to do the tour.

Yeah, for sure, for sure. So I had it like, I had a gun for like every single time. I'm like, I gotta come, I gotta make sure I know the overall taste of fish and chips. Yeah, but second time. Yeah. Thankfully a lot better. And this, I basically because me and Cinnihud,

they were coming this time and we were like, no, you are not allowed to make any decisions. We will take care of everything. We will take you everywhere. It's a great time. And hopefully you had a lot better time. Yeah, I did. It was like, okay.

I don't think there's one negative thing that went wrong that time. Me and Emily joke about all the time. You need to make him go up north somewhere. I don't think Gant knows something, anything exists above London. Like America, right? You got to, yeah, yeah, dude, he's like an East Coast and never even New York. You should all come to America, bro. Come to Maine.

I've never been to Maine, yeah. Main camping. I'm down. Yeah. I mean, I mean, everywhere in America, I swear to where everyone has

like the fucking most beautiful nature ever. Just like on your back door. That's all there is. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You said that's all that is, but that's pretty fucking dope, man. That's pretty fucking dope.

I mean, when you're living there, you don't appreciate it. Of course, yeah. When I started living New York, I was like, oh my God,

concrete, concrete concrete Yeah No trees What is that A little patch of grass Yeah And then like now

I'm just like Man I miss grass And then You move in Tokyo famously no grass Yeah There is but like at least I don't know

It's pretty It's for viewing the grass here No one's a lot of war On one's a lot To touch the grass There's always Don't touch the grass sign So no fun aloud

No fun aloud Yeah So what's your opinion of Gregs. You see you, okay. Oh, Greg. Careful, choose your words carefully. So, so he did go to Greg's,

not the second trip, the first trip. Yeah, well, I took him. I think it's all right. I think he just got sausage rolls, which I like the price of it. Okay, kind of the worst part. I could vouch for weather spoons is dope. I love weather spoons.

That shows how much better. You're too, Brett. He is now a true Brit. That shows how much better your second trip was. What do you like about screens? I don't want the external. Just for comparison, I went to weather spoons as well. And I think it was the worst meal of it.

Okay, okay. Hold up, hold up. What do you like about spoons? Hold up, hold up, guys. All right, let him cook. Did you go for breakfast? No. Well, there you go.

Okay, okay. Did you go for breakfast? Have I ever been to a spoons breakfast? I think that was his diet for a while. What are you asking here? Good, I'm just saying, I'm just saying for the, of what you get for breakfast.

Amazing. Yeah, it's great. And it tastes good. Spoon's breakfast is goaded. Okay. That's got me through many hangovers. The only problem with spoons is that it's so location based because like it's kind of like you have a pub

and then you can be like I'll become a weather spoons where I will. Yeah, it wasn't until after the matter of the fact that I found out that Conn took me to what is regarded as one of the worst. Yeah, it's really the worst one because it was, I think it for some reason it was like we had to, we didn't have a lot of time we had to meet in like a certain area. Yeah. Yeah. Reminds, like American Denny's.

It depends on like who's like. Yeah, you can get already been. Yeah, that's true. That's true. It sounds like McDonald's too. Like depends who's working, right? Some McDonald's can have like, yeah, can be worse. Yeah.

It's the same with a lot of fast food places. When they're franchise based, it really depends on the ownership. Yeah. Spoons especially, because they're normally just pubs that have just up to be into me. Yeah, huge, huge. Yeah.

Well, it's because it's like, you just agree to serve this stuff on the menu and you're a web spoons. When I was a brooch, I broke college student, I would love weather spruits. We did. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Dude, at least you have that, right?

At least you have a choice of like getting like $2. Yeah, it's good, but it's also kind of like destroyed the vibe of pubs as well, which kind of sad. The vibes were not, well, I'm a tourist. Depends when you go. Like in London, I think it's fine because, but like more local pubs, I think, especially in northern parts of the UK,

I think it's kind of ruined a lot of the vibes. Oh, okay. I mean, in the southern parts, I think it's also, like a toss up. I actually prefer the pubs that are not in the major city that are like a bit out

in the countryside and stuff like that. You guys would love our local pubs. I love pubs. You know what the best part about pubs is? It's like when you walk in and you hear the floor creak. Like the wood. I like that too.

I like that too. The whole wood pubs. They don't, that never happens. It's the combination of the floor creaking and then the slight resistance to the sticky floor. Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, It's that combination.

I remember the first time taking Dytis and Emily to like a proper like local pub right in the middle of the countryside. And I remember the first thing they were commented on was like, oh, it smells a bit weird and I'm like, nah, that's... That is the pub smell. That one pub does smell like piss. Again, pub smell. It depends on what kind, but that's common.

Yeah, it's a mix between... The food is fired though. The food was fine. It's the mix between stale beer, a little bit of a funky human smell. Yeah, various human excrement. Yeah, various human smells. Yeah, it really depends where you're on the UK.

Yeah. Because like in London, they've gotten really bougie. They all do food now. Yeah. Of course they're expensive. Yeah. Because London's expensive. I just noticed that being in London.

It depends on. I think that's true. I'm in America. I guess it depends. No, but I feel like EU is more likely to get like, like worst things for an upcharge. Yeah. No, I wouldn't agree with that. I think it's a case by case.

Yeah, it's probably just my... I feel like in America, I feel like I've been scammed a lot. Yeah. I've only been in Europe for like a total of like, I don't know, like 20 days. I think it's gonna be, like, we're a nice restaurant. And then they just serve the most middest food, but you have to charge so much and then tip 20%. Yeah.

Oh yeah, yeah, well, yeah. I mean, that's true. That's a tip. That's a tipping. Yeah, especially when I was not, like when I was in L.A., you know, those restaurants So that's LA. LA does not. Let me finish, let me finish.

Tell me about your $60 side. When I went to like, when I would go to like Indiana or Ohio and I'd go to the nice restaurant with people, I was like this is not nice, but their prices are certainly high. Right, okay. I think it's state to state. Like one time I was in a,

I was in a, I was in, uh, I was in, uh, I think it was Indiana and I went to her, the family was the nicest restaurant. And I ordered a wine. The wine came and it had froth on it. I was like, why is my wine frothy? And he's like, oh, I think we just spilled a bit of beer in there. I'm like, I'm not trying to be a dick, but like, come on, right?

Like, you won't even notice. Like my wine had like head. In a new bottle of wine or was it just? Like I guess when they bring it over on the big tray, when they're like 19 glasses, I guess they like somehow like when they put it on, one of the beer, because you know, they fill it right- Just knocks over, yeah. I was like, were they bringing like fucking box wine?

No, and I was like, I was like, little bro, this is 25 a glass. Yeah. I'm not trying to be a diva here, but come on. What the heck? Dude, I hate, like, I went to New York and, like, I was looking for ramen. Like, they're like, oh, this is bougie ramen. This is $40 ramen. Yeah, yeah.

No ramen should be $40. I'm always, like, miss me with that shit, man. Just give me the most, like, dirtiest, filthiest shit. I was watching on Japanese TV, there was a whole one hour special about this Japanese chain that we were trying to open a branch in, in LA, but they were like, the whole show, they had like 30 minutes dedicated to getting the taste right with the inferior American ingredients.

And there was, there was like a good 10 minute segment where they were like, Americans can't handle this flavor. It's too much. And the flavor that they thought Americans couldn't handle was charcoal grilled chicken in the ramen. So they would charcoal grill the chicken. They always do this stuff. And then they would have like the oil

from the charcoal, they would like drain it. So when they were cooking, they would get the oils, they would pour that into the broth. And they were like, oh, this, the American palette, would they, oh, you don't think they- Chalk-old grilled chicken.

Meanwhile, Americans are like, yeah, I've been a bogey. I was like, what is this? Yeah, what is this? I find that shit so pretentious. When they put the gold flakes on the hamburger and they're like, this is $300. Oh yeah, that's a scam. You're eating gold.

If you're in a restaurant where they have put gold on anything, you are being scammed. Yeah, you are the wrong restaurant. Most definitely. Like no self-serving restaurant that actually wants to give you something good flavor would do that. How the fuck that shit even start? Because they realized they could charge rich fucking people

triple the price. Yeah, because it started during like imperial Japan. Yeah, because it started during like imperial Japan because like all the higher lords would like, it was a status symbol essentially. And then they were like, oh, well. Like in America as well. Yeah, America's all.

It's like now that the lords are gone, we'll just do it for dumb rich people now. Well, I think on average, like rich people are fucking dumb as shit with this kind of stuff. They don't care. They're like, yeah, I'll just pay whatever. Yeah, they don't care. It's all about the image.

Even real gold. Yes, it is real gold. Well, you could like gold by like like flakes are super cheap. So cheap. Right, right. And but of course they have to up charge it because it's gold. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's such a scam.

And it's like, oh wow, I just paid $200 for my turd to be extra gold. It's like sick. Thank you. Not worth, not worth. So you've, to me, have tried everything I think someone should try for like a proper British experience in terms of food.

Well, good. So I'm gonna go through them and I wanna know if you think it's overhyped or if it meets the hype. So I'm very picky with food, but yeah, I can, yeah, I can give a shot. Overrated, underrated or perfectly. Yeah, so Gregs. Gregs, it's all right.

You didn't have the cheese and onion bake. It doesn't count. That is fire. You had the sausage roll. I mean, sausage rolls are pretty good. No, they're not the best thing on my. Everyone knows it's the bakes. Joey, tell him.

Yeah, it is. Joey, tell him. No, I have my boy with this one. Yeah, I had one in Wales, because Connor was like, you gotta try this. And I had it, I was like, this shit is, I'm gonna come. Bakes are where it's at.

Yeah, it is pretty good. Don't buy these shitty sandwiches they sell. I would say, I just like the price of it. The price is insane. Yeah, price is insane. Weather spoons you say meets the hype. All right, Nando's. Oh, Nando. Oh, yeah.

Nando's is fire. Yes. We all right, sauce from the grocery store. We got, oh, Nando sauce, we brought it to Japan. Yeah. All right. Pub roast. Oh, wait, the first one or the second one

The first one was awful The first one was that boozy shit man That second one Fire And And cornish pasty I remember taking you to a corned Do you remember that?

Shit We're in bright Cornish pastity We're gonna give him to try Like bangers and mah Shepherds pie Oh that's true That's the problem is that like all that stuff

Like Shepers pie Like the meat meaty meaty, wait, it's like crust with meat, right? Fred with meat and stuff like. Shepidst pie is like the mashed potatoes. It's mashed potatoes. Can you put up a Cornish pasty? Anything that looks like Thanksgiving,

I'm like, that's fine, you know? I got no complaints. Most of our dishes are the color of the. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the Cornish pasty. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, that one store that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that's fire, it's fire. All right, there you have it.

There you have it, guys. British food isn't as bad as you think it is. It's just because the Americans just want a clown on us for something. I did, on my first trip, I did have an experience where I was at a pizza shop and this little boy who was trying to order pizza. And he sounded like the little orphans from the old American movie. Pizza! Yeah!

They don't have a pizza. And when I heard that, I was like, oh my God. I was like, I am. They're real. They're real. And he had like a little. like orphan boy hat. I was like the used paper boy hat.

Yeah. I was like, this is crazy. I don't know. I was just in some random shop waiting for like, Eugene took us to that like that acting bar. Oh, the acting bar was sick. Oh, the acting bar.

Did you go to the prison one or the prison one? The prison one. And like, I guess like the actor like, liked our friend group the most. They kept bringing us over to like talk to him one-on-one in the jail cell. And he was like having a blast. That's what I felt like. So to explain what this bar is,

it's kind of like an experience bar where you go in and this one was obviously, it was Alcatrazine. So you go in, you get given like prison uniforms and you, they make your drinks for you, so you give them whatever alcohol you want to bring us bring your own booze and they make like cocktails out of them. Right. And you take part in this kind of like interactive experience

where there is a storyline happening in this prison and you are kind of like a, kind of like a viewer for the storyline that plays out in this prison setting. All right. And then you just go there, you role play, get drunk, and just enjoy the show, it's great. I say if you are a theater kid,

you should definitely work there. I mean, I was not, but. I was not either. Even not, did you take part in like the characters or were you just like, did you get in character or were you just a passive viewer for that? Yeah, we had like a,

back, they had you write like a little story of why you're in prison. Yeah. Totally forgot what my story was. Something stupid. Something really dumb. Yeah, could you definitely go on character in the, uh, in the murder mystery night. Oh my God, murder mystery. Yeah.

You made me a main character. I didn't know how the rules work. I thought I was supposed to remember everything and just like, gap. I was like over yapping. I didn't know there's multiple rounds. And then when the third round was, was, was, was, was, going. It was like. Oh, I already did that.

I already did that part. Whoops. Yeah. You were just yapping all the information. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I was like, I was yapping so much that no one voted me out because I was just like, I was like, yeah. I mean, they know everything. You're the worst murder mystery person. Yeah. To be fair, my, like my character is supposed to be like a red herring where like, yeah. Yeah. He does so much bad shit.

Yeah. Right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun though. I had a little fake mustache. Oh, you did. And I said.

supplied everyone else was fake mustaches. They loved it. Yeah. Did you have any money left at the end? Because there was this mini game where you have to collect as much money as you could. Yeah. So I'm dumb because I thought like, I thought there was like secret rules where you can gain money from like investing.

So this guy was like, I'm an investor. If you put in a, if you put all your money in for gambling. You thought that was like a murder mystery like stock market. I did. I thought at the end of the game, guard would be like,

okay, whoever gave money to this person, you gain X amount. So I put all my money on this one guy. He took all my money. So he just stole your money? Yeah, he's like, I'm investing in gambling. Would you like to partake?

And I was like, oh, yeah, yes. And then like from that night on... Please never get into stalls. I'd be scared. On that night on, like, every single person went up to me and I was like, that's going to take money to get information. Yeah, they were treating you like a fucking ATM. I broke since hour one.

Sorry, man. Oh my god. That's amazing. That's so funny. I mean, that was my first time doing murder mystery. Yeah, I mean, that was my first time also doing murder mystery. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But did you have fun on night? Fun what? Did you have fun on a murder mystery night? Of course. Okay, okay, good. Are you a theater kid in secret? Yeah. No, I don't think so.

No. I'm awful on the camera, man. Dude, I bet the first time I was on track takes was actually when I was like on camera for real. Was it really? And then I had a fungal infection on my armpit. And it felt like it was a big giant. Like one that you know like on Reddit where you see,

you see someone like popping in all the white pusses flies out. Yeah. So at the time last trash taste when we're filming, I literally had down my armpit and it felt like someone stabbed me in the arm. Like it was that painful. Like someone's, I didn't want to be like. Wait,

did that happen mid recording? Yeah. When I was recording. Yeah. What the fuck? I had like a giant fungal infection on my armpit. Um, I feel like, this stuff only happens to you.

Yeah. I've never heard of a fucking fungal infection. Yeah. So it's your fault. Okay. No, not my fault. Your fault. I'm just,

I'm just, I was in my fault. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But like, you brought us to Cheba and this, he brought us to this like old Japanese house. Oh, okay. And there was this German guy that was like,

Polish Polish. Polish guy and he was like the owner, I don't know, the owner, the Airbnb guy. He was like looking after this Airbnb in the woods in the middle of Noah. Yeah, yeah, his house was like a across the street and he was just like walk over. He just came over and started drinking with us.

Yeah, he just started, we're like, okay, we're being nice here, would you like some drink? And he literally got, he got shit-faced. He got blackout drunk. Yeah. At your Airbnb? Wait, but how does that lead to the phone? Well, I'm gonna know, okay.

So anyways, I noticed, I noticed something was off when I went to the bathroom. Yeah. And there was like a piss layer of yellow around the rim. And I was like, okay. Okay. And then he had like the futons on the ground. Mm-hmm.

And my mistake, My mistake. I decided to sleep in a tank top because it's comfortable. And that's my problem is that I realize this guy doesn't clean his mattresses or his blankets or anything. I had my armpit. I was sleeping on my side. And it was exposed to this mattress. Maybe I'm crazy.

I'm pretty sure it was clean because I always sleep shirtless. No, no. You know why I realized it wasn't clean? How? It's because when you know how he's hung over the next day? Yeah. He's like, oh, you guys got to leave. The guest is coming in like 30 minutes.

And I was like, how are you cleaning this place in 30 minutes? Like, there's no way. I feel like I would notice if the sheets were used. I feel like you can just tell. No, dude, you should have seen the toilet, man. Did you not see the toilet? Yeah, I'm like, piss stains, whatever. Dude, that was like, that was like years of like crust on it.

What are you smoking, bro? This guy's crazy. You got about piss stains? I mean, in an Airbnb, yeah. Riddle me this, rat, riddle me this Batman. Riddle me this, Batman. I've lived for a long time. I've never had fungal infection on my armpit.

Until that day. Until that day. You wore a tank top. I wore nothing. Why did I not get a fungal infection? Everyone's skin's different. Riddle me this. Also, I had a futon.

You had the guest bedroom. You had the whole bed. You had a bed. I had a thing from the closet on the ground. Of course he took the fucking bed. I did some place. I get the fucking bed. This guy.

It took like 20 minutes to get everything ready and cleaned up. How? How, bro? Probably not. Yeah, it's not clean. That's the problem. Yeah. Damn.

Anyways, I had that fungal infection for a whole year. I heard you went through a fucking mission to get it treated. So every time I sweat, it would like come back. Right. So then I had to, I went to the Japanese doctors. Mm-hmm. Every time you go there. They go, ooh, that's gross.

That looks bad. And then they just like, they're like, okay, here's the drugs. That's it. That's it. And every time I'm like, what is this? Can you explain? Like, what is this?

And they go, I don't know. But here's some drugs for like, maybe it's this. Maybe it's this. Here you go. Every single time I went to like four doctors. They all did the same thing.

I mean, is probably the same NPC dialogue. Yeah, but it's just like, oh, that looks bad. Okay. And I was like,

this is ridiculous. And I was like, so I found I had to do everything myself. So I went online when I was on. and I termed dermatology, uh, fungal, anti-fungal soap. Yeah.

Yeah. And I have to like, I still do this to this day. It's really annoying because it will slowly, slowly come back. Right. But I, like twice a day,

I rub it with the soap. Yeah. And then it stays dormant. And I'm like, okay, at least I figured out how to suppress the disease. Stay dormant? What the fuck?

So you got like a, like a permanent disease from this one thing? No, fungal, fungal infection is just like, it's just there perma unless you do something. What? No,

that can't be. No, it's true, it's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you don't go to the doctor's, unless you, like, get it cut out or something? No, you have to, like, keep it dry. You have to kill, like, the bacteria. Oh, right, right, right.

So, like, it senses and armpit, right? It's always moist, always moist. I mean, if you sweat as much as, I know. Yeah, for sure, yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. See, like, if you left untreated, it just... It sounds like a Victorian fucking disease.

How the fuck does you get this? I don't know, man. It was, like, it sucked, man. Like, I had, I was in the bathroom. just pop, it was just blood and pus like everywhere. Like spraying. Damn. Like I've seen like some, yeah, I think it's like R slash popping or something.

You know when they pop a giant, giant, yeah. I had that experience. I had that experience. I hate that shit so long. It was so gross. It's the top search. Fungling fashion, vaginal. Vaginal.

Yeah, no, they have that too because it's a wet moisture. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I understand that. I've just never heard of one on the, like the armpit. Yeah, it feels like someone took a knife and stabbed me in the armpit.

Ugh. And like when you're squeezing the pus out, like I'm like, it hurts. It's painful, but I'm getting all this out. Oh, God. Last time I was here about pus anymore, no more fucking pus. I mean, last time I was here,

we talked about poop, so. Hoop's fine. Yeah, we do we talk about- Everyone poop. Not everyone has a fucking fungal infection on their armpit. I mean, some people like watching those popping videos, you know?

I am not something. I don't like it. I don't know. You're strangely sad. You're sick. You're just fucking disgusting. You're sick if you like. I don't actually look for them,

but if like, you know, I don't know, TikTok or something, you're like, okay, I'll stay. That's when you went through like a month of having to do it yourself. So you're like, I make my own content. I had my own Phil, so I think, I'm good on that. I think you're fucking nasty to enjoy that shit.

I don't care. It's, it's nasty, but it's so satisfying. It's like, it's like, the most satisfying ones are like the ingrained hair ones. Oh, no. It's like you pull it out and it just keeps coming. And it's just, ah. Oh, it's, it's,

It's gross, stop it. It's so good. What is our entertainment anymore? It's, fuck. Everything's quick now. Everything's gross. You just can't look away. I can absolutely easily look away.

Sometimes when they have like the blackheads and some blackheads are so big that they leave like a, a massive hole. Like a crater for a hole as like a, for like the poor. Oh, yeah. That's so good, man. That's so good. It's so good.

Peat content. Pete content right there. Oh, man. Super satisfying. Actually, I remember something now. Yeah. So, change the topic. Please.

Last time I was on, please. Last time I was on trash days. Yeah. I was like, I hated watching my episode. I like crinch so hard. I couldn't even look. I don't know. I just, that's just who I am, I guess.

You're so hypercritical on yourself. Yeah. Well, every time I'm like on camera, like I get, I feel like I get judged. Like, it's either like, oh, you look better. You look pretty. ugly you're like it's like bro don't worry you could all the time bro don't worry you could be a fucking 10 out of 10 supermodel and someone's

going to be like you look like a potato I know but like it's no winning it was nice when you're like faceless and like that doesn't happen that's true um but uh what was I saying you remember something yeah oh actually you relates to what I was talking about yeah um

like Moudon went up to me this is during AX and he's like yeah I know someone who has like ADHD and like you have like symptoms of like ADHD and I was like what no I don't I was like bullshit like I'm ADHD fuck you and then I found out later I was like maybe I do have ADHD I I thought I always thought you knew you had ADHD yeah I mean I was in denial I had to say that I thought I was from day one I met you I was like this guy's ADHD I was in denial I had to say to you I think you're the last most yeah you're the last one

You know, like, you were like bullshit. It's like, nah. When I found out, I was like, there's no way. But like the more, you know, there's no way. The more I thought about it, I was like, oh, my God, my whole life just makes more sense. Yeah. Like the schooling and everything. Yeah.

Like, when we do Japanese class like once a week, like Emily, like, excels so well. And I'm like, like, I'm reading a sentence and like my brain just scrambles. And I was just like, oh. I was like, oh, it makes sense. Because I'm comparing to Emily and I'm trying just as hard. I was like, okay, okay, I probably have ADHD. Because I'm thinking about other things. Like, I'm thinking about not messing up.

And when I think about not messing up, I mess up. Yeah, right, right. Yeah. So it just makes so much more sense. And I went to the doctors, Japanese doctors, though. Yeah. They have me do questionnaires. And they're like, I don't know exactly remember the questionnaires.

But they gave it back to him. Like, ooh, that's wrong. Yeah. He's some medicine. You ever know what day it is? And I'm like, no. Do you ever remember names? no. And I was and then like she looked at it and she's like yeah you definitely like 200% I don't

mean I have to test you you have it and I was like oh okay all right. Yeah I mean I like it though I had the same awakening I guess it's just good to know yeah yeah yeah yourself you know it's mine's even like because at least a mate told you that you probably have ADHD for me it was a fucking audience I remember talking about this shit I remember you were like Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you know, with fucking YouTube comments, Reddit comments, you're like, all right, most of the time, they're just over-analizing,

like, whatever. This was the one time where I remember reading a comment that just broke down all the symptoms. I'm just like, this sounds a little bit too specific to my life experiences for, and I was like, I should probably get that checked out. Well, it's a double-ed-sword story because like, there's so many armchair andes.

I mean, for sure, yeah. You obviously know in yourself, you're like, I would make, like, if you saw that comment, yeah, if Forgan, he saw it and was like, ah, this actually does make a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean personally. It's not like I'll see someone be like, Connor, you, we reckon you have 10 IKEA, be like,

oh, you know, like, I wouldn't, like, I would obviously be able to connect that with my personal, like, factors. So I don't give a fuck of the armchair. So whatever, just be lame. You know, I think it's like, you know, it's fair as valid, whatever, like, they think whatever they think.

But also, it is a double sword because, like, I think they, I think labels are too labeling, nowadays. Everyone wants a label. Everyone wants to be something. Yeah, it's too labeling. And there's always like one guy that's like, hey, I think you have autism. I know I don't have autism.

Like I know for sure, I don't have autism. Like I'm not gonna reply. Yeah, yeah. And it's like, that's bait. Right. It's just like, no, they generally think. They're like, oh, they do these things. There was one time where I was like, oh, I feel like I get choked when I have like a crew neck on and, oh, that's an autism thing.

And I was like, what's, I was like, what? I was like, no, but like, ADHD is like, I don't know, it's almost there. Yeah. You want, you want this? You want a stem bro? I've been, yeah, wait, is it a stammer? No, this is it.

Oh, there we go. It's just, it's just twisting. I've been doing that, this is a time of recording, by the way. I'm stemming, I'm stemming? Yeah. Which I found out like a toy that I can get you that, like it's a good magnet. It's like, oh, okay, okay.

Yeah. Just, just ADHD things. Well, no, I mean, finisheding obviously is nice because the act of finishing is quite fun. Oh, no. Like I don't need it. What's what you did? Yeah, right?

Yeah, isn't it so satisfying? Well, you always found the inanimate objects instead of an actual toy? I don't know. You're like a cat. You could buy all these fucking things for a cat and they'll be like, swing on door. Yeah, yeah. Did you ever talk about your belt buckle? Yeah, yeah, I talked about my belt buckle.

Yeah, so like, yeah, you're like, oh, buy this belt. And I was like, okay, I bought the belt. It came with the belt buckle. And then when Gart told me that, I pulled it out my closet, I started using it. I was like, oh, this feels so good. I was like, this is great. The resistance, they're like, you know, the angle. My nice ass belt that I bought you gone.

He used it for a fucking fidget toy. There's like this certain angle that's like perfect. It is, it is. You fucking get it. These boys don't get it. They laugh at me because they should be used as a belt because it is a bell buckle, but holy shit, it is the perfect.

The angle perfect belt buckle. The ball fondle. Oh, the ball fondler. The ball fondler. The ball fondler. Oh, I never tried one of those. Yeah. It's a ball fondler.

That has a good weight to it. Yeah, just fondle it. Fondle the balls. Yeah. Like, imagine you're fondling someone's balls. Oh, it is a, I just, if I close my eyes. Like you're fondling someone's balls. Yeah.

Wow, I could be an expert at this. I hate being perceived as fidgeting. I feel like when you fidget it looks like you're unfocused. I hate being. It's part of your personality. It's part of my person. But I know that like, look, it's like, I don't care if someone fidgets, but I hear when someone's like, wow, you looks like, I don't know, I feel like someone's

perceiving me as being a fidgett. Yeah, and I'm like, I don't fidgett. I do like fidgeting. Yeah. But I don't need to fidgeting. See, I need to fidget when it comes to like thinking. And I need to like unlearn this in school because, yeah, I, I, there was always this point where people just thought I wasn't paying attention where I was like, if I'm like fidgeting, I'm paying attention more because I'm like, it's almost like, stimulate the brain. Yeah, I'm actively thinking. thinking and I'm actively processing. I make a joke about that.

Like when I'm doing stuff and Emily notices, I go, I'm stimming, I'm stimming. I'm stimming. I'm stimming. I'm stimming. I'm stimming.

I'm stimming. This is funny because you know like when you're like in the gamer comms and you're like, I'm going in, I'm going in. I got them, got them, got them. I'm stimming. I'm saying.

I'm saying. Hold out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, I just feel like ADHD. it gets too negative press.

I personally like it. I know it's a double sword. Yeah. I personally like it. Like I don't know. Like, you get that superpower and then you get that non-superpower. Then you get the opposite. You get the fungal and you get the ADHD,

you're giving your take. I think it's the highs and loads. I think because people just don't like the whole self-diagnosis stuff that goes online. Yeah. For real. That was me. That's why I was in denial. Yeah.

I think a lot of people just hate that. I think that's facts. Because you can, you can like wear the label a little too. And it's annoying, like, kind of being in that grip where you're like, it's because I have ADHD. It becomes your personality trait. Yeah, which I don't want.

I'm just me. You know, I'm just me. I think the correct way to think about it is just like it's something just to help you understand just how you process things and how you work. Some people I've seen online that, you know, obviously self-diagnosis has become like a big thing where it's just like.

It's so annoying actually, yeah. Yeah. And some people, you know, I've seen use it just like, as like a crux to be like, oh, sometimes not necessarily ADHD, but sometimes it's just like, you know. I get it though. Like, because sometimes I kiss myself being like, oh, it's my ADHD. I get it.

I don't know. With you, it's not surprising, you know, we know. I preferred it before when I didn't know and I wasn't like, oh, it was my ADHD. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think I was someone I worked with someone one time. I had a deadline for them and they were like, ah, sorry, I'll be it tomorrow.

I got to show my ADHD. I was like. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I was like, what the fuck? Instead of fucking deadline. It should not be an experience. Well, as a fucking deadline. What do you mean?

I wouldn't mind it if that could I have another day? But the way they were like, sorry, it's my ADHD. I was like, what? Yeah, just say, just ask for another day. Just tell me you needed another day. What is this reason? What is this? You just tell me you suck at time management.

Which is fine too, but just get it done. But just get like. Yeah, speaking of that. No. No. But you just gotta know your own, like, your own ability and to work within that, right? If you know you second time,

ask for a little bit more time, right? Yeah, definitely need a calendar. Actually, I should definitely do. I think, yeah. Calendar is king. Yeah, definitely do it. I think for you, it goes beyond a calendar, to be honest.

I think it's like doing, like, working with people in America, it's literally impossible not to have a calendar because you need the one that sinks the times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so confusing. Yeah. Um, because especially with time zones as well.

You're like, oh, I'll do it on my 19th. You're 18th. And I'm like, wait, so like my night? No, no, no, no, you're 18th. What time is that for me? Well, I, well, actually daylight saving. So we gotta have minus one out. It's so shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I used calendars sync up or Discord has that, like, uh, the time. The time converter. I only found out about that like this one like this one actually. Oh dude, it saved me so many problems using that.

I'm like, this is the time. It'll be in your time. This is the time. No other time. Just this one. Look at it. That's the time I'm meeting. It's so frustrating.

That just has a legendary sleep schedule. The legendary. I wouldn't necessarily call a legend. Legendary because it's impressive how bad it's been for so long. Yeah. I just, I just, maybe some people are naturally a night owl.

I think there's a night owl and then there's you. I'm still the same as a night owl, right? I was sort of like, my head of night out is. What makes it different? Me making it different. My head, in my head, I don't know, can I,

you guys can maybe disagree or agree with me. Am I had night out? not someone who goes about like three or four, but they're still on the like same time. Yeah, they're still, they're still relatively active at the same time as everyone else. Yeah, yeah. Whereas for you, it's like, again,

you've literally been jet lagged ever since you moved. No, because like when I was in America, my sleep schedule is all the same. Because I remember when I lived in the UK, you were always awake when I was away. And I was like, what the fuck is this? But I feel like I adapt very fast. because when I, if I'm on vacation,

I go to bed normal times. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's impressive, though. You like, you adapt when you're on vacation. The moment you go back, you're like, I will now go to bed at 7 a.m. What's the time?

What's the time of the day? What's the time of the night that you're like the most active? Like, you have the most amount of energy. Oh. Like 1 a.m. is when my creative brain like finally activates. I'm like, finally.

What is it about 1 a.m.? The quietness and the darkness and like the, the mood. The darkness. Nice and the vibes. Yeah, it's like the world is sleeping. It's quiet. Right.

I get that. It's kind of like when my dad, he wakes up at like 4 a.m. and he watches the sun rise and he drinks his coffee. That's a mood. That's a mood. And you're like the polar opposite. Like the sun's rising.

Ah, time of good a bed. You wake up. You wake up to watch the sun set. I do. I just found something so profoundly depressing whenever I was awake at like six and the sun came up.

There's something that like hurt my soul that I was awake during this. I think you get used to, I think it's post all night like clarity. Yeah. Because Emily does sad when she's like, oh, woke up at three, oh, I hate myself. Oh, why did I do this?

Yeah. Well, I'm just like, eh. I think it's the thought of knowing everyone else is doing stuff and you're kind of asleep. I think that that fuck's my right now. It is harder to go to like stories because they close like a little bit. Yeah.

You want to hang out with your friends? Well, I mean, that's, well, I mean, that's why Japan will be a gold sin because like, combis are open 24 hours. Yeah, they are, yeah. It's like no difference. Like, wow, it's really quiet today. Yeah, most normal stores,

or if you like have to, like you ever sort your bills out or go to the bank, you're like, uh-oh. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, I've had- all, like packages. Oh, yeah, they wake me up sometimes. I have to run to my intercom,

like, that must be horrible. Oh, that sucks. I don't know, like I trained my brain to hear the intercom when I'm sleeping and it wake me up. It's like Pavlov. Yeah, that's so bad. That's so bad.

Wait, so, Have you ever thought about like wanting to like revert that, like change it? Or I did experiment with it. And I don't know. I just couldn't get work done. Do you think like you'll always be a night owl? Like when you're like 50, you'll be like going to bed. So, okay, there's two things I would rather prefer is either I wake up super early.

Like my dad where I get to see the sunrise. You get your quietness. Yeah, yeah. Because if you wake up at noon, the sun's already out. And you go to bed at eight, everyone's still awake. Or like you go to bed at like two. I don't know. It's like I need one or the other extreme.

So, so you need a period where you think no one else is active right now. Yeah, I'd say so. It's nice and quiet. I like it. So either you are on the US Navy Seals timeline or you're on the complete degenerate

uni student timeline. Also, when you walk at night, it's like a move. I get that. I get that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, yeah. But you can still do night walks.

It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same. It's like 1 a.m. is no different from 5 a.m. walks here. One a.m. everyone's gone. Yeah, I mean, like if I were, I would prefer to go to bed at like 3 a.m. Like that's more people walking around at 5 a.m. than 1 a.m.

It's the feeling. It's the 1 a.m. There's such a cope gone. No, no, no, no, no. I get it. I get it. No, you're coping. One a.

No, you're coping. One a.m.m. is that time of the night. where you're like, all right, the late, the late stays are still up, you know, the parties are still going. You don't see him. 5 a.m. No one, nothing.

I mean, listen, for me, for me, either way, I'm asleep. It's like, I don't know the fucking difference. The early rises are awake at 5 a. I think my also my problem is that like I spend all day trying to activate my work brain. Yeah. And when it activates, like,

it's kind of like an on and off switch. If it's off, if it's on, then I get so happy when it's on because I'm like, I'm not turning this off. So I won't go to the, bed because I'm like, it's on. It's on. I gotta go. Like, I gotta go. I'm steaming. I'm still. Makes sense. Makes sense. Okay, well then if you had to pick one of the other, I personally would suggest maybe four a.m. Yeah, to the early morning. I did do the early morning.

I did that for like a month and a half. Yeah. And I remember that. What happened? Every time someone invites me out, it's usually at night. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm like, I go to bed at that time. So then I'll end up like being sleeping, but oh, you wanna hang out in the morning? Like no one does that. Well, we don't do that because we know you're asleep. I really love the feeling of hanging out friends after doing what I needed to do that day.

Like I feel like being able to like do all the work and then hang out people feels really rewarding. Right, so like for you guys, you're working in the morning and then when you're done, you're like, hang out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Work's up for me. See, I'm the kind of guy where it's like,

if I'm hanging out, I'm hanging out all day. And it's like if I'm working on working on that. That's true too. I completely just separate. Let's all because you're far. See, I wish I could be like that, but if I know I'm meeting someone in the like the nighttime or evening,

my entire like brain is preoccupied with, I have X hours until this happens. Yeah. I have Y hours until this happens. So just like plan around that. And I don't understand. Same. Same. Even if I'm doing, even if I'm like doing nothing, I'm just like.

There's like so much you can get done in like six hours. There is if I could like focus. Yeah, but it's like, If in the evening I'm hanging out with someone, I'd rather just spend that whole day just relaxing. And then I'll do an all day, some other day. So because of what Garret said,

because of what Garnt said, where your mind is preoccupied with, I'm gonna eventually meet up with. So I'm with Joey too. He's like, I'd rather just have it all day there. Yeah, I'm, when I wake up in the morning, it's like, today's a work day or today is a fucking rest.

I can't be like Connor, because Connor was like, oh, like, if you have one free hour, you can just knock it out in one hour and then go out through your day. And I'm like, I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't do that. Yeah.

I don't know, yeah. I think I used to be like that. And then when I started like just getting in the habit of when I had time to do the work, I felt I just felt so much more rewarding when I forced myself to do that. Well, it depends on the type of work. If the work is streaming, for example,

that's like so predictable. I can be like, okay, I need to be live by this time and I end at this time. But if it's like something creative where let's say, I'm scripting or let's say, have to think of ideas or something like that, I nothing is getting done if I know I have like an engagement

or if I have a, important thing afterwards. Yeah, I need to give myself a weekend. Otherwise, I'm never gonna have a weekend. You know? Like a full weekend with like no work. Exactly. So what do you, so what do you normally do

in that fucking period, dude? Is that when you like peak work hours for you in the night period or? I would say so. Oh, okay, okay. I try. Or do you still like game a lot and shit like that? What are you playing right now?

No look at me. Don't look at me. Say it. What do you play? Say it, say it, say it. League of Legends. Oh, we have another one. I'm sorry.

You back? I see a corner on all the time. I was playing a five days straight. Yeah, he was doing a five day straight, yeah. I got to play it in TFT though. That's congrats. Wait, but when you say league, you mean TFT or you mean... He does both.

He does both. You do both. I sadly do both. Well, like, it's a friend and Harold. It depends. It depends if like because I have I come and go only

I'll have long periods why I don't play the game Yeah And then just like a drug It comes back and Yeah, you relapse I notice I usually relapse During worlds

Because it's always during world It's always during world Everyone I want that feeling You're like Legends never turn And then you go on in 10 Yeah

I do like TFT because you can If you have two monitors You just chill You got your coffee, do your little morning TFT. It's like gambling. It's just gambling. Gambling for LP.

Yeah. You're on that second model of the shit. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Fuck. Another one back into league. Jesus.

I'm so sorry. Yeah. You know, I did enjoy our stint in Korea where we were just like, at a PC bang. That's fun. Why are we doing that again? We need two more people. We got Emily.

We got a fifth. We need one more person then. Joey. Oh. Joey. Joey. Joey, you mean, you mean support.

You me support. I would rather do drugs. I'm sorry. It's the same thing. It's more fun. You get that dopamine hit. Yeah, I could get that any other way. Get that first blood.

I can get that any other way. You did you enjoy the league we played on the trash taste? Fuck, no. She was ass. He played Malachi Aram and he did a good job. Yeah, you know, I pressed two buttons and they were like, he's the goat.

That's all you need, That's all you do. Oh yeah, such a dopamine in here. They got a champion for everybody. Such a dopamine hit. Yeah. It was. So you've been in Japan for like,

how long now, like two years, two and a half years? Yeah, two years. Yeah, fuck man, that's not great. Last time you came on, you just moved here. Yeah, you had just moved to. How was your perspective? Well, yeah. When you guys like, we're like,

before we started recording, you're like, oh, what's the last time you came here? And I was like a year ago? And you're like, two years. I was like, what? Yeah. Yeah, you came just as you moved. Yeah, I did.

I think I did. I guess how have you found Japan over the three years? It's great. I got no complaints. Like, yeah, I don't work. I don't work.

You know, the salary man. Salar man jobs. So I think it's great. Yeah. Sure. You miss home a lot? Yeah,

yeah, yeah. You know, we come and go. Like, I definitely want to go back. Christmas. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. You gotta go back for Christmas and everything. Is this nice having your, like, own place, too? Because I was sharing with my parents for a very, very long time.

Yeah. Yeah. My basement. Yeah, that's good times. He made it out the base in the boys. Good times. Is there anything that's grown on you in Japan? Oh, yeah, of course.

Any particular thing that you're like, I love this. Oh. I like, I like how, I kind of like how, like, how, like, people keep to themselves. I kind of like that. Bro. Proper introverts, aside to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like it, like, I don't know.

Like, it's nice, like, going. about your day without some guy screaming at the top of his long as like every two seconds you know that's new york yeah i lived in new york for like four years and like you know when you go on the bus you just got you gotta pray that like someone doesn't annoy you you know yeah yeah yeah gamble every time yeah no j i mean japan is the perfect uh place for that you uh you got you you got some favorite japanese food now now you've been here for a year I don't, I don't, don't do my mood, really. What's like something though you've like grown a liking,

maybe you've never tried it before. You prefer, you prefer Udon, soba, sober, soba, sorry. Called sober, yeah, oh my, colds. Wait, you don't like cold sober? Always hot, I wanna always hot. It tastes way worse, I always get a car. His mind is just broken just to thinking like,

why? At that point, just get Robin. To me, no, because I love the hot sober, it's so good. So like the duck bro. Hot, sobo. is actually like the inferior way to have sober. I agree. I mean, it is. L taste.

I'm sorry. I'm right, I'm right. I just feel like it's not a meal if it's cold in my head. I don't know why. That's crazy. I love it. In my head, I associate like meals with warm.

I don't know. Like I just don't think of like, it's great. I don't know why and I recognize that I am wrong for that. Yeah, if I. That's because you grew up in like a colder environment probably. I guess. You just never think of having cold dinner. I go cold sober.

Oh, yeah, I don't know. It's in my head. I just don't think of like a dinner or like a, you know, whatever meal you have at the end of the day. That always has to be warm. Okay. Unless it's like sushi. I don't know what if sushi,

I'm like whatever. Well, I used to think that way with cold ramen, but I was like, you know what in the summer? Cold ramen kind of slaps, like the little ice cube in it. I agree. Oh, the he has chuka. Yeah, yeah. Ice cube in it.

Oh, yeah. He has chuka or like daming. It's like the really, really cold. Well, I don't know what the Korean one is called, but I like that one. Oh, yeah, the cold Korean noodles. Yeah, yeah, the cold Korean noodles. That's delicious.

Yeah, it's so good. It's gotta be warm. Every dish can be improved by being warm. Even in the summer? Even in the summer, especially in the summer. You sweat a lot? Which I sweat like a motherfucker. Oh, okay, me too.

You know what's weird though? Is that like, I completely disagree with you on the food needs to be warm, but like I can't have cold coffees. I always prefer hot coffee. I always, it could be like 45 degrees outside. I'm like, give me a hot coffee. I'm like hot inside when I'm out, it's cold coffee.

Yeah, you can't do that. Always gotta be warm. It has to be hot. Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, it's not too controversial, right? I don't know what it is. No. No, it's, you know, it's the preference.

Cold, cold coffee just tastes like a little dessert. I don't know why. It doesn't feel like it wakes me up. It doesn't feel like the caffeine is working. Do you think the caffeine actually has an effect or was it like placebo? No, it's definitely placebo, but it works better when it's hot.

I also think that like, you naturally drink it at a good pace when it's hot. Yeah. cooling down, it slows you, you know, it's just a good, it's a good sipping drink when it's hot. How much you think the process of waking up is like placebo? Because I can't feel like properly awake

until I've had my shower. You know, I don't know. No, no, I'm the same. I'm the same. It's your eyes. It makes your eyes refresh, at least for me. I just wash my face and that wakes me off. Yeah, I guess the water in your eyes.

I think it's just your eyes. You just got to heat up your eyes with like water, maybe cold water. Heat up your eye. Cook your eyes. Eyes are always better when you're, Yeah, I don't know. Like some people, they need their morning coffee

before they feel like awake. I need like a shower. I just need like me time. I need both. Yeah. Because I remember you mentioned the other day where you're like, oh, I don't listen to music anymore when I'm like, you're like a taxi?

Just like ever. You don't listen to music ever? I just realized I sat there and I was like, I don't think I've listened to music like in a month. Are you okay? Yeah, I just don't. Like I, when I'm having like a taxi ride, I just want silence.

Oh, I get that, I used to be like that. Because I need time to think. I realized that when you- What? It's just everything because I realized like, I had this realization that like I, I was constantly distracting myself. Like I, whenever there was an empty moment,

I was always having to play music, watch a YouTube video, play a game. I was like, I never give myself the chance to just like sit there and like think. I'm sure like 99% of the people out there can relate to that. Yeah, and so like, everyone's overstimulated.

And I realized that like you need to have that like 10, 20 minutes in the day where you just have nothing, like no stimulation just to be able to like process. Everything. See, that's my shower time or shit time. You guys, you guys- In the shower somewhat, you have like an objective. But you still get to think.

Like, you're still doing something, right? There isn't, well, it's the same way as like being in a taxi. You have the objective of getting you to your destination. Well, I'm not telling him where to go. I'm not fucking, I'm not directing him. Yeah, but I just sit there. With a shower, you just have, you know, you just have like the water running and you're just like,

what you're just talking about like ritual. Everyone has like a morning ritual. No, but that's your morning ritual, right? You just need silence sometimes. You need silence. That's your morning, Richard. Yeah, yeah, silence. It's kind of like meditating, to be honest.

Like, thinking is just meditation. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Thinking is just meditation. I mean, I know you're not supposed to think, you're not supposed to think when you meditate, but you get what I mean. To distract themselves from that moment. Yeah.

And I implore you to give yourself five minutes where you can, in the day where you can... If you use trash taste for meditation, I'm sorry. Medication. Just like, you know, because I feel like we've become too comfortable and distracting ourselves. And I felt that way too.

It's too easy. Yeah, it's too easy to like- I wake up, open my packet, TCG pocket. Get all basic Pokemon, I'm cool, man. Got my dopamine hit. But do you sometimes feel like, to me sometimes, depends on music obviously, but sometimes that helps me like lock in

in terms of like- Yeah, it can do. Yeah. For me, it completely, no, I get the whole like overstimulating thing. I totally agree with that, but like that's why like if I want like a time to just like relax or meditate or just you know think about things yeah i put on the appropriate music whether that be like wait really you can think with music on it depends it's like i can't obviously like blast fucking duff punk i know it's time to medicate you're definitely a

music guy though i don't keep saying medicate yeah 200% i don't know i keep saying medicate sorry meditate um yeah but like you know you can play like you know very quiet jazz or you can play like ambient music like something that's like not too stimulating but still there's something there i don't know silence hit different though For me, for me, I need to be like, it's weird, okay? Because I actually, when I was jet-like, this time my jet-like, for somebody was like, super fucking bad.

And then I tried my meditation techniques that I learned from, like, you know, when I was at a monk, and it just wasn't hidden. I don't know. Really? Yeah, it just wasn't hidden. And so, I don't know if I've changed since I was, like, younger. So I tried, like the meditation technique.

So there is also, like, a walking meditation technique where you know, you're doing the same like breathing techniques and you're getting to that same mental place, but instead of like sitting still, you are like walking a, walking like back and forth, like in a certain pattern. And like, it took me like five minutes

and I was like conk the fuck out. So, and I realized for me, I concentrate best, maybe it's my ADHD. I concentrate best when I have some kind of like just subtle like stimulation. So in this case, when I walk from a, I fucking, I fucking love walking and just listening to music.

I, this is why I'm a beeps and boobs guy. I phase out the music and it's just vibes. And I'm walking and I'm like, that's when I think. That's when I'm like, oh, oh shit. Yeah, that's why when I'm like out or I'm like going somewhere, traveling anywhere by like train or whatever, like I always want music on because it's like the best way to just like shut out the world

and just like be in my own wall and like think about things and whatever. That goes back, sorry to interrupt you. No, sorry. I'm not used to this. Well, that goes back to like the 3 a.m. walk is like, if I listen to like slow jazz, it's like a vibe. Like the jazz. No, 100%.

I agree with that. But also you can do that at 3 p.m. as well. It's still a vibe. There's people. It's fine. It's a different vibe. It's sometimes even too strong because I remember this one time in university. I don't know if I've already told this up.

I guess I'll repeat it anyway. But I remember this one time in university where, So I was going to my labs. So we have labs every Thursday. And this one week, we had a lab in a different building, in a different place on the opposite side of campus. So I make a mental note. So I'm like, all right, you're walking here.

And then I start walking, put on my music. And I just don't remember the journey. I quick teleported. Like I fast travel. I fast traveled. And then I looked at, and I was like, why did I end up at my, in the wrong place?

I had never done that. Yeah, I know that feeling. It's like when you're like, all right, here we go. Let's start traveling and then before you know it, you've activated the wrong loading zone. And you're like, oh, I don't remember getting here. I don't know. Because sometimes you just be listening to music

and again, you just like, you just, no, you just get so absolved into it. Yeah. And then before you know it, you're just like, wait, where, my brain was just on autopilot. Yeah. I definitely know. Oh, actually, actually, I want to know.

Okay, so I don't know what the word is, but there's a chart for if I tell you like an object, how high definition is that object? Oh yeah, I know you're talking. Yeah. What is that chart called? It's the apple, the apple one, the apple one. So if I tell you to think of a red apple,

can you find this chart? Yeah, how detailed do you think about it? How detailed is it? How detailed is the apple? If I tell you to think of a red apple. Oh, it's like a mega detailed. He's an artist. He's an artist.

You know what threw me off? There was, you know when you, you fap? Yeah. I had some friends that are just like, they were like, I can't imagine, I need porn. I can't imagine it. I think that's a very common problem. Yeah.

Yeah, and I was like, what? You can't imagine like every scenario and every like situation. Like, that's crazy. Your mental diff. Yeah, mental diff. Yeah, so yeah, for me, if I think of a red apple, I see number one, I can see number one in my mind.

Yeah, well, see for me, I see number two. You see number two? Oh, so this is, is this accurate? I don't know. Why would it be like gray and black and stuff? Antentasia. Some people don't think of like the color. Oh, they can see the color?

Yeah, some people don't think of it. Some people can't see the color. They can't think of it? And some people can't think of anything. anything. Like, you know, some people don't have an internal monologue. Like, for example.

You know, some people, some people have to watch porn. Did you, why? Yeah. Some people have to- I know, that drove me off. I was like, I was like, huh? Wait, wait, wait, so do you all exclusively jack off to your imagination?

No, I can do both. Do you know what thing? I can pick and choose. I have the luxury of picking and choosing. Yeah, he could be watching and then be like, let me switch it. Close his eyes. You know, sometimes it hit different.

I realize I don't think I use my imagination that often. I'm too lazy. Really? I'm not trying to fucking make up a world and a no-see. Oh, see? I'm trying to beat my meat and be done with it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's like swiping a credit card for me.

I should be done with it. It depends if you want it quick or not, you know? Oh, wait, how, how HD are your dreams? Like, I don't dream. I mean, you do. You do. Okay. When you remember your friends.

Let me preference this. All right. I barely remember my dreams. I'm like a, it's like a video game. I load a save file. I wake up. Oh, okay. I only remember my dreams if it's really, really bad, which is not that often.

I'm the same. Right. Exactly the same. Yeah. So like, I don't know, like, Emily cheating on me. I'm like, what the heck, Emily? Like, you know, I know. But like the problem is that my, my nightmares are like too real.

No. Yeah. Like, they're like, I can go. I think I have one nightmare where I did a whole week of college. And I woke up and I realized I have to get to class. You lived a whole week. A whole week of college. Like going to class, going to bed, waking up.

Exhausting. Well, it only happened once in my life. But I was just like, that was the worst nightmare I've ever had. I literally lived life without even like doing life. I've had those dreams as well where I sometimes wake up more tired than when I went to bed because my brain was so active during my dreams. Yeah, right, right. Your brain is, yeah.

I feel that. You know, when you're like closing your eyes and you're aware, you're like kind of awake. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have that, but like, definitely the worst nightmare I had. was like, it was like some inception shit. It was like, it was a dream of me waking up in my bed that I was actually sleeping in

and then keep falling asleep and then waking up again. So after a while I was like, I don't know if this is a dream. Yeah, yeah, okay. So when I finally woke up, I was like, I had to start like touching things and be like, oh shit, okay, we're good. That is very inception.

It was fucked, yeah. This is, this is like, but like, but like, but I also like have this thing where it's like, I don't remember exactly what the dream was. It's like, I see it really vividly. And in my head, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna try and remember this dream when I wake up. And then the moment I wake up, it just fades away.

The more I try to think about it. No, I know that as well. It's like, let's remember this dream. Wait, what was it again? Right, right, right, right. There are only like few dreams I end up, like, ever remembering. It just like, you know, just kind of like disappears.

Yeah, mine is always the bad one. For some reason, I have dreams that I still remember that I had as a kid that like was so surreal that I still have this like core memory of just like, oh, this is a, this is like the first time that I've had a dream this fucking vivid, you know? Yeah, I had a dream when I was a child where I like fell down the stairs in my house.

And I think I had that dream when I was like seven years old. And ever since then, the stairs to my house, you know how they like spiraled? Yeah. Yeah, I was, I became terrified of those stairs. Oh, so you had a reoccurring dream? Kind of, yeah. Where I just like kept falling down these stairs in my house

where I'm like, I know I'm not gonna fall over because I go down these stairs every day of my life. But ever since I had these recurring dreams with me falling down those stairs, I, like, as a kid, I would just like hesitate at the top, being like, all right, hold on. Here we go. I never had a reoccurring dream.

I know Sydney has. Sydney got this huge fear of like lifts, elevators for like a long time. The falling elevator. Because she had the falling elevator dream. And I'm sure there's like some meaning to it. What the fuck is like a thing? Supposedly, there are like,

These real, it's like, you know, the, like, there's like a reoccurring dream that a lot of people have of, like, their teeth falling out. It reminds me of the underwear dream. Apparently, there's, like, some kind of meaning to it. Underwear dream? Well, there's also the dream of, like, you standing in front of a crowd, but, like, butt naked.

Yeah, there's always... I've had that dream. That's also a reoccurring dream. I've had that dream. You're one of those. You're one of those. Apparently, yeah, there are these, just these, like, really common dreams,

and apparently, yeah, I think it's like, if you have a dream of, like, with your teeth falling in, out. It's got like, has to do some kind of like anxious. Realistic enough. I know the dreams and I'll stop. So you can lose a dream? Well, I know when they're not real. Right. Really? Does it look like in 64 graphics do you? Yeah, it's like all blurry. Wait, really? It's all blurry. Oh, nothing's like clear. Well, that's kind of neat. But because the emotions feel real,

your body like it doesn't matter. You can't like distinguish that. So do you have a fun time? Oh, sometimes they have a great time. I always get jealous when people are like dream and they're like, oh yeah, that's what happened to my dream. And I'm like, oh, man. I'm jealous of people who can like perfectly recount everything that happened in their dream. I can do that sometimes. Is it practice or like practice, right? No.

I thought you had to like write down like, I think some people can just do it. Well it's just like it's weird because Sydney dreams every single night. And I know apparently everyone dreams every single night. But for me, I wake up 90% of the nights, I'm like, I don't remember like anything. Yeah, I'll just say this.

My favorite sleeps are when I, I'm like, I'm gonna go to bed now. And then I immediately fall asleep. and then I perfectly wake up. And then you're like, I'm ready to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the safe state. Yeah.

Just like, it's literally like there is no waking up in the middle of the night. The wake up is flawless. The go to sleep is flawless. It's a perfect split of sleep. It's the JRP sleeping in an end type of night. Yeah. And you're just like, you're up with.

Those sleeps are the fucking best. I agree. I agree. Boom, 9 a.m. I'm ready to go. What's up? Yeah. No time wasted. No tiredness at all.

I'm just fucking good to go. Perfect. Yeah. Oh, like when you wake up literally one minute before your alarm, that's like fucking Thanos level of power. I do that, I wake up and I'm like, it's 855. And I look at my thing. No, actually, you know what, I hate those actually.

No, I love that because I know that my body is perfectly timed. No, because 99 out of 100 times I do that, like, okay, let's say I like set an alarm for like 8.30, right? And I'm just like, okay, I'll be able to get plenty of sleep. And then, you know, you go to sleep, you wake up and you're like, oh, fuck, please tell me it's like 6 a.m. and it's like 825. It's like, oh.

No, no, no, I like that my body timed that shit for me. Yeah. But you're so tired, you're like, I probably have a couple of hours. I would have crushed it in the peasant ages, bro. I would have woke up on time every time. I would have been awake. I'd have been like, all right, 4 a.m. I'll wake up.

Like, how do you wake up at 4 a.m. before, if they had like an early morning? How do they do that shit? They have like a, like a, kind of, they must have like a Looney Tunes trapped, like wake them up or something. No, it's probably like a, yeah, it's probably like a chicken. No, they actually, they actually used to pay people to go.

around and I can wake people up. Oh, really? Yeah, they used to, in Victorian and England, they used to wake people up. But the people who needed to wake up to, you know, how did those people wake up? How did those people wake up? I think there was night owls.

That was his job. That was your job. Just like me for real. They used to go around. A couple of pints. A couple of pints. Just waking people up, yeah. I guess we could talk about weight loss.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, please do. I mean, I lost 50 pounds. You know what the secret is? What's that in real measurement? Chicken and broccoli. Oh,

real measurement, chicken and broccoli diet takes another victim. I feel bad because I was like, because Emily cooks and she's like, I'm tired of chicken, making chicken broccoli. And like,

I can't really cook. But like her food's so good. I was just like, but like she helped me a lot with it because she, you know, I don't think I'd be too lazy to like eat healthy.

Yeah. I feel like so sure. Yeah. Helps me a lot. Chicken probably says, O.P. It's so Opie, bro. It tastes good.

I like a good salad. I'm like a dog where I can eat the same meal, like seven days in a row. Yeah, me too, me too, me too. Me too. What's that meme again of the young guys? Like, this is bloody lovely. Oh, yeah.

It's like dogs after giving the same meal. Sydney has like a max of like two meals in a row before she needs to like change things like. I'm like, what? Why? Why? I just can't beat it. You find something.

You find something. Yeah, yeah. I can eat the same meal five days in a row and if it's healthy as well. That's why every time I'm not trust at your office, I have the exact same fucking salad. Same. I have the taco rice every time.

Exact same salad. Yeah, it's boring. I still have that shit at home as well. Exactly. Still hard though. Like, weight loss is so hard. It's not really a one done. It's so continuous thing.

I'm doing it so extremely slowly. Like, what's the way to do? At least you're making it. That's a healthy way to do it. Yeah, I'm making progress. It is, it's hard. I just, food just tastes so damn good.

I know. That's, that is the problem. I'm hard. I just, I just eat whatever the fuck I want. And then occasionally I'm like, I should probably eat really healthy right now.

Yeah. Yeah. I think coming back for Christmas, it's gonna be tough too. Oh, of course. Yeah. I'm not gonna die on vacation.

I don't die on vacation. I just like, when you're around like family like once a year. Yeah, you can be like, I want to eat this shit. Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Yeah, The eggnog. We'll be diet friendly afterwards. You know, we'll work out. Yeah, we'll figure it out. For me, it's a constant cycle between whenever I'm traveling versus whenever I'm in Japan. And I'm like, okay, I'm traveling.

I'm eating fucking shit because I'm traveling. I want to enjoy the food there. I come back to Japan. All right. Back to diet. Back to the salads, baby. It is gaining and losing the same few pounds, like monthly for me on a monthly cycle.

What's your goal right now in terms of like your weight loss stuff? Oh, just, from when I used to be when I used to, I still don't feel comfortable in my body because I used to be like, I don't know, 175 pounds or something like that. That would be nice. Like, you know, just to get back from where I was.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's, uh, is this, yeah. Yeah, it makes, yeah. It's just hard, man. It's hard. It's hard, but I think how you used to look. I was like, oh, I was miserable. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think, you know,

I think, you know, obviously set a goal, but you don't need to be as thin as you were back then. Yeah, because- It'd be nice. I mean, it is nice, but I feel like- It's like food too much. Yeah, yeah, I think you'd have a miserable time trying to get there. Yeah, and also, I think, I think, you know,

gaining like a bit of healthy weight is not a bad thing at all. More muscles, huh? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I have the problem was like, when I eat healthy, I don't work out. And when I eat unhealthy, I work out. I don't know what? I wish I could just combine them both for the perfect equation, but I just like,

is this really hard for me. Yeah, for sure. Because definitely I have gained a little bit of weight since, even the start of trash taste. Can you hear you do trash taste? We all look thinner. Yeah, we all look at this trash taste episode one. We all are way thinner on trashdust.

Yeah. And I look like a different person. You look the same. I look at that and I'm like, oh, I see now. I have, I've gained like a little bit of weight, you know. Bro, you look, get out of here. But no, no, no, it doesn't, it doesn't, You just went in a sweatshirt, bro.

Get out of here. Because-Barr you literally looked the same. Get out of here, bro. Dude, I mean, I was like six kilograms lighter there. I was probably about 10- It's barely noticeable. I was probably about 10 kilograms heavier there. All muscle, all muscle.

I was about seven kilograms lighter there. But, you know, I look at that, I'm like, that was pretty thin actually. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. I'm not quite thin, isn't it? I'm not exactly overweight now. I'm comfortable with that.

You know, so, you know, I think, I feel like there's a tooth thin. Huh? I feel like it's too thin. Who knows? You do look quite thin then. I don't like gone with a bit of meat. All right, all right, all right.

I didn't think I was going to an Asian family reunion here. I'm gonna get this next week. And one of those Asian grandmas can tell you eat more? Look at that. You're gonna show your every Asian grandma. Always gotta say it. It's either eat less or eat more. Yeah.

You know you go there? And you're like, wow, you are the perfect weight right now. I have no complaints. I hate when they go, don't you think you put too much rice on your plate? And you're like, bro! I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, you're not the one force feeding me seven meals a day.

Yeah, this is so annoying, man. They do that every time. It's just weird that's like globally, like Asian grandmas too. Oh, 100%. Asian grandmas and great Asian aunts. Yeah, so true. They just straight up be like, you look fatter.

I'm like, oh, bro, yeah. I'm kind of glad I'm here because the bread is ass, but when I'm back in Europe, oh my God, the bread. I eat way too much bread. I think I have like the average daily calories for a man is what, like 2000? Yeah. That's my bread portion of the day. Like, and then it's the other food.

Yeah. Bread is delicious. Dude, bread's so good. I'm so glad this ass here. Yeah. I'm going to have a terrifying amount of bread, cheese, and beer when I'm back in Australia. You know what? Just remind me of something.

Is that like some people like when I was losing weight? Some people are like, oh, it's because you lived in Japan. It's a lot easier to eat cleaner in Japan. No, it's not real. It's so much, it's actually harder because if you don't cook, if you don't cook, it's actually really hard to lose weight. Because everything is rice, fried chicken, fried, fried, fried, fried, fried, fried, fried. When you get a vegetable, they give you broccoli, it's like two broccoli.

And then just cabbage. Like, there's your cabbage, right? That's like the only vegetables you get. Cabbage is the big one. You really have to go to the grocery store. But the sad part is that, like, when you buy groceries, it's more expensive than eating out, actually. For the most part, yeah, yeah. It's just like, this is sad.

Or in the supermarket they'll sell the meals. They'll tell us like a tonkatsu for like 500 yen. Yeah. Yeah. And you're like, I couldn't make a tonkatsu for less than 500 yen. What the fuck is? Like, how are you making any money from this? Yeah, I don't know how this makes sense.

But in America, a lot more temptation, that's for sure. I think that's the problem. The temptation is very high. When you get that temptation in America, you also get triple the size. Yeah, right. Exactly. Because if I order wings here, I'll get the puniest, tiniest, tiniest little like fucking three wings with no meat on them in America.

but I order a side of wings. I get the whole goddamn entree. It's like a fucking 18 giant colossal wing. Right, right, right. You get the whole fucking chicken coop. Yeah, when you go out to eat in America, it's like an experience, I guess, because it is upcharged, right?

Like the tipping and everything. Yeah, but it's also just way too much fucking food, dude. But what I do like about it is that like when you, if you want to be healthy, when you choose to be healthy in America, you can. It's really easy. Yeah,

but you also have to pay triple the price. I don't know. Because it's healthy. Getting a salad in Japan is very expensive, but you don't tip at least, right? Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It's like getting a salad in like L.A. or like in, like, America or anywhere. It's usually like way, yeah.

And it's like 40 bucks for some lettuce. It's like cool. Like $30 for a salad. I think on the average, if you're not in L.A. I think like a salad's like $14, 15 maybe. Actually, so it is kind of so much of Japan then, huh? Yeah, it is. That's if you're buying from the store, right?

Yeah. Yeah. If you're making it yourself, obviously. But then I think the delivery fees and all that stuff, if you were to deliver it, it's way higher in America. I don't even touch Uber if I'm in America. Yeah, I don't touch out of rents. Absolutely ridiculous.

The average main salad meal in U.S. restaurants cost $10. Yeah, like 12, 14. Yeah. I'll always get for Caesar salad in America. I'll say, he wants to split. You want to split. You need to split the salad in America. So good, bro.

Yeah. Good, though. It's very delicious. I will say, I'll give you the Americans credit. The salads they make, go, they're like, fucking, they're not healthy. Oh my God, yeah. But they taste so good.

I usually, if I do order a sea of salad in America, I have to be like, like, I love the dressing, but just tone it down. And nothing like we have fried bacon bits, we got crispy onion. I'm like, when does a salad appear? Oh, yeah. When does the salad appear on the salad?

Like croutons, croutons, grotons. Yeah. Dressing, you're like, how many, oh, one lettuce? Yeah, okay, got it. And a fistful of croutons. Oh, dude. Yeah, I buy croutons in America.

to bring to Japan because they don't have the big croutons. I hate the big croutons, bro. Why would I want a fucking Lego-sized brick of croutons? They're so good. That's so much crouton. I just want a tiny little bit. Yeah, but like the American, I mean, the Japanese croutons or not seasoned...

I don't understand... I don't need seasoned croutons. I just need crisp. You need the crunch. It's just a little bit of a crunch. Yeah. I like the garlic taste. It's the...

Oh my gosh, it's the texture. It's the texture. Is it? Yeah. It's like eating, yeah. It's like eating Legos. It's in America. Sandy Legos.

Yeah. They give you these brown bricks. Yeah. I hate that shit. That I swear are meant to, that there are a plant by dentists to fuck your teeth. There needs to be like just a small little brick.

Tiny, tiny, tiny crunch. I mean, no, that's a big mega. Like, in America, I'll get a fucking salad and I put the, you know, you have a spoon, you have the crouton, you put in your mouth, he's like, yeah. Yeah. And then if you put it in your mouth the wrong way,

then like the corner stabs the inside of your mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a fucking bed frame in my fucking I mean, I like it, but I can see you. I get it, I get it. And then I, yeah, we get a Costco and then you're like, dude, they got the croutons. And then these like, literally, I kid you not.

They're like this big, they're this big. And I'm like, you know how rare that is? Nobody needs this fucking Rubik's cube sized ass crout. Just buy a fucking bread roll. God bless, God bless Costco. This is like, this is like 16 times the size of a normal crouton. At this point, you may still just not eat a salad.

There's three things I bring from America. Ranch. Yeah, of course. Chick-fil-A sauce. Of course. And then, you know, the croutons. Why? Okay, hold on.

You were doing so well, I'm at that point. I mean, I was like, agree, agree, what? I just, I just, I just don't know that. I want to understand your mind. Oh, yeah. I have one more, actually. What?

Well, I just started doing this, but like, wanton chips, very hard to get here. They don't exist here. What's a one chute? You know when you go up to like, you said that, I already know why doesn't exist. You know when you get egg drop soup, you get egg drop soup and the Chinese restaurants

and they put wonton chips in it. Oh. Oh, the ones that go in your soup. This one. Yeah, that one that the one that go in your soup is just one tonne. That one. Yeah, one more to the right.

Yeah, that one. Isn't this just wanton? I definitely have. Well, no, that's a different version. Like that's the one you dip. First of all, I've definitely seen these in Japan before. I don't know when you're on that.

These are definitely in Japan. You know like ordering it yourself, like I think it's hard to find. Every grocery store I went in, I like couldn't find them. You can't go to grocery. You gotta go to like an import store. Isn't this way, way, wait, wait. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Even if it's still hard if you go to import stores.

I've definitely seen these in international stores. Is there any filling in it? I'll have to look for it. Is there any filling in them? No. So is this just not deep fried one-time pastry? Yeah, I guess so. Well, definitely get that.

You can definitely get that. No, no, no, but there's type that go in soup. You got to take one of a tonne, like, Chris, it all goes in soup. It all goes in soup. They all go in soup, right? Also, if you're going to put it in soup, then just eat a fucking wonton.

It's good. Eat a regular wanton if it's going to go on soup. It's different with the soup that's like all over it, you know, developed all over it. Oh, my God. Yo, I don't want to hear from you guys. You guys have the worst food taste.

That's why we invited you on. We needed someone. I want to counter, man. Counter. What's the way, so what's the difference between this and just like regular wonton soup? I don't think there is. Wanton soup has like the wanton that's like soft and...

Yeah. Yeah, but this one is just deep fried, right? This is crunchy, like you put into your egg drop soup or something. That's such like an American meme, just deep fried and I'll eat it. That's good. You put in chicken soup, that's good, too.

No, it is good. You get the crunch. It's like, I don't like soft wanton, so I'm going to make it hard and then make it soft again. by putting it in the suit. I mean, I get it, it looks fire. Yeah, no, it is good.

I mean, it's just like choice. You don't always have to put it in, right? I just think you can definitely make this yourself. I've definitely also seen this in international stores. So you need to go to some international stores. Just need to get some one-time pastry and just. That requires cooking, Garant. All right.

I think I could cook. I only know how to make eggs. Yes, you can. Anyone could learn how to cook. My go to college food was hot dogs and rice. Anyone can learn how to cook. You're just too lazy to learn out of a cop-out. Hot dogs and rice was, it slaps.

Tell me your selfie. You ever had hot dogs? You have hot dogs and mac and cheese? That sounds good. That sounds good. With the ketchup. With ketchup on it. Wait, hold up.

What? You lost me. Oh, no. Mac and cheese with ketchup. No. Mac and cheese with ketchup? That's delicious. That's a struggle meal.

I love ketchup as much as the next guy, but you don't need, mac and cheese doesn't need ketchup. Have you tried? I don't know because it's right, you don't need mac and cheese has flavor on its own. You don't need ketchup with it. Yeah, putting a sauce on a sauce is kind of gross.

Yeah, it's got cheese sauce. I've ever seen that, you remember the SpongeBob episode where he puts like ketchup on onions? Yeah. Oh my, that looks delicious. I would eat that. Have you tried it? Yeah, I have actually.

It is pretty good. It is pretty good. Oh my god. Yeah, raw onion and just like put the ketchup on it. I remember that in a episode. God. No. Any other bad food takes you wanna get out while you're here?

I mean, you gotta have talk about memory. I don't have bad food taste. Oh, no, ketchup on top of mac and cheese. Yeah. I disagree. What else you get in university? Was it just, uh, yeah, what other struggle meals were you? Yeah, struggle meals, yeah, yeah.

That's true, that's true. Any vegetables? I did it stir fry a lot with like egg and rice. Okay, okay, okay. That's good. That's good. I did do this thing where you buy instant ramen. Yeah.

And you just put on the walk and you make, you make like a stir fry kind of like pretty fire. Yeah, that's, yeah, you put broccoli and then like onion and cabbage. That sounds great. Like stir fry noodles, yeah. Did you ever do the forbidden tech with instant noodles? The egg? No, no, no, just getting a packet of ramen,

putting the seasoning on it, crushing it up. And eating it raw. And eating it raw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? The mammy noodle technique. The mommy, yes. Yeah.

I do that a couple times, but like, in my, sometimes I'm just like, I rather just have it cooked. No, I mean, I- That's never a case where I wouldn't just cook it. I mean, I used to do that until they used to use Manny noodles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's so good. It becomes like, it becomes like Baby Star Ramen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, bro, with the right flavoring. But the struggle version. It is the, because it's not a meal. I was down with hot dog and rice. This is a bit much.

No, it's so good. It is good. It's so good. College class. I mean, I just love hot dogs. So like, yeah, this sounds great. Anything hot dog, anything can be improved with a hot dog. I agree.

A glissie, a good glissie. I agree with that. Suck it down. Yeah, I agree with that. Grill it, make it crispy, and then you can cut it up. You can put it in like anything. Sure. Yeah, that's another problem with Japan.

Their hot dogs are not good. Well, it's because they don't like, they always like boil them. Yeah, and then they use weird bread. Yeah, the bread is kind of shit. They don't use the correct bread. Yeah. It is a fucking battle to get hot dog buns here that are good. I mean, it's a struggle to just get good bread.

Actually, when I go anywhere, like, away from Japan, I think the first thing in my mind is like, I want a glissie. Me too, me too, me too. I mean, fair. I think recently I've been missing, like, American food more and more because I'm just like, I'm feeling it, man. Because you're losing weight. You want to crave to put it back.

It's like, I need this. Yeah, the American in you is like, you got to pack it back in me. Panda Express. Fassar Express. I can't wait. Why'd you like Panda Express? Dude, it's crazy. At A. A. A. X, I was like, hey guys, you guys want to get, uh, do you guys want to get, uh, breakfast or get like a lunch?

It was like 10, 10 a.m. Oh, yeah. And he, and Emily goes, ah, we just ordered Pander Express. I was like, at 10 a.m. You guys, ordered Pander Express at 10 a.m. Oh, yeah. I mean, Alex and I did a couple of, uh, 10 a.m trips to Chick-fil-A's. Okay, chick, Chick-fil-A. I was like, what the fuck? She was fired. I guess. You got some, like, salad and some, like, steak. And they were like, like, no, we ordered Pander Express to our room at 10 a. I was like, I was like, I was like, That's degenerate. Listen, I only have so many days to pick a day. Because usually when you go to AX is like, well, we're going here for dinner. We're going here for dinner.

I'm like, this is my only chance to order Panda. I mean, not going to like on up. I would have joined them. Yes. I would have joined them for that. No. No. I don't even like Panics experts. I make her.

I make her. You have to eat this film. That's how you know she. You go to good partner. She cares. She cares. She cares. I appreciate it.

I appreciate it. She knows how much it means to me. She knows how much it means to me. I have to. What a good part of it. You've been watching any anime recently? Oh, I kind of slowed down. Okay, I want to ask your opinion on,

because I know me and you have very similar taste when it comes to romance anime. I want to ask your opinion on what you think of modern romance anime. Okay. That's right up my alley. I just recently just finished. What's the girl with the blue hair?

She's blue hair. That's not narrowing it down. Oh, very new one. Very new one. I'll not say reason. Shit, I know the exact one you're talking about. Losing heroines. Yes.

Too many losing heroines. Yes. Yes. Yeah. So I got six out of ten. Dude, they went really? They went way too trophy. Let me see this one.

They went way too trophy. No, this is one of the good ones. This is one of the good modern ones, man. No, it's like, dude, they do so much like, oh man, this like, why is that girl, like her boobs are out in the middle of that? Like, shit, why her boobs out and why she act like that? Okay, that one, why is the nurse like that?

Wait, is this Kyoto animation? They went too hard on the tropes. Oh, no, this is, uh, I believe it looks like Kyoto animation. I think it's A1 pictures actually. Not gonna lie, this looks right on my alley. No, no, no, they tried way too hard, this looks right out my alley, dude. To the subtlety.

Because, okay, I, what I like, Nate? It's got Nate. You can't fucking trust that. I like, you can't trust. I do like the blue hair girl. I don't know what a fucking rule, right? I like the blue hair girl.

I like her. I like how, um, so this is a romance anime that is from the perspective of, uh, you know how you watch romance anime and there's always a winning girl and a losing girl. Yeah. This is from the perspective of every girl has been the losing girl of their own prior romance anime. So it's kind of like a, not, not, not so much a subversion, but definitely it's self-aware about what it's doing.

It's a little too self-aware though. So there's like, my life is not like a light novel. And he's like, I'm just boring. That line is cringe, but I, you know. No. No. Okay. I, okay. I, I'm getting like, I do have a, I do have like a soft spot for some of them, but I am getting bored of there being

so many comfort romance animas. Yeah, this is comfort. This is not comfort. There's there's actually drama in this one, you know? Yeah, yeah, like, because they have to like, it's shoehorn in it. It was like, it's too, it was too much. It was too much.

It was too much. It reminds me of like Toradora where like Tyga was like having a hisy fit in the classroom. I miss that shit nowadays. No, no, see, Toradora, like the Christmas episode with the goat episode where she's running out and the violent plays in.

Oh yeah. All the dramaticness of that. Yeah. Or like the, what's that one with their underwater and then they grow up and then like they Oh, now you know Oscar. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing like runaway scene in there. I think the drama was very well there. I can ask it was great. This drama just felt like it was just like too hardcore for no reason. It was just like it's too try hard man.

The main character I hate. Like it wasn't natural. Yeah. It wasn't natural. I think the least interesting part of this was actually the main character. So the main character. My poem's main character is that he, I hate shows where he just doesn't do anything.

And he's like, I'm a loser. I'm a loner. I just like being alone. That's most anime. I know, right? Right, right. But all these hot-ass girls come in and they're like, I'm going to start like hanging out with you every day for no reason. Like, it just doesn't make any sense. Yeah. I was just like back of the day, I felt like if the character's a loser, he had to work for it. Remember, is the manga is? Eyes. Yeah, I'm sorry, eyes.

Yo, that boy, that boy had to work for it, man. He did. Love Heena. That boy, dude, that guy, he had to do so much study. He had a glow up, man, there. That boy was rising and crying. Like this character. Modern romance, that's why like half I don't fucking watch. Cause yeah, there's a fucking loser guy that just is a loser and everyone loves him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, what a fucking self-insert. I mean, Romance and Ray has always been a self-insert.

But I feel like recently there's been this new genre that's come up, which is just like, what I used to like be okay with is like, okay, there's some self-insert, but at least there's like some juicy drama. No, right. That's why I give it a six. It's not like totally bad. It was watchable. But like there are so many romance anime nowadays,

which is just like a guy and girl, no conflict, no nothing. It's just comfy, oh, it's just this guy hang out with this girl, except the girl speaks Russian maybe or the girl forgets her glasses. Yeah, the girl has some kind of quote. Oh, their glasses girl, dad. Oh my God, they give me volume one of that.

And I was like, this is the worst thing I've ever read. She's literally an infant. They're like, I gotta do your shoes for you. Yeah. Oh, oh, are you. I think it's like an infant kind of thing. Like a D-D-LG thing. Yeah, like I gotta take care of this girl.

She's a mess and I have to do everything for her kind of thing. That's what that show was, the glasses girl, right? Yeah, yeah. With the orange hair? Yeah, yeah. I gotta do everything for her. And I was just like, this is ridiculous. It's fucking awful.

All this sounds shit. I dropped after like two episodes. And like there are some like good comfort romances out there, but I feel like nowadays there are just less and less romance anime. They just have like even the slightest bit of like conflict or drama, right? And I fucking miss that so much. I think though there might be a part

where it kind of speaks on like maybe this new generation that just want like. They do, it's fast food. They want, yeah, they just want like the fast food. Like I just want to be comfortable. I don't want anything to go bad and you know. She's like a Star-Doo Valley of anime, bro. Yeah.

That's what people want. Yeah. They want the animal crossing of anime. Yeah. Well, it comes down to it's too expensive to make anime now and now that's where you go to manga for romance. That's where you get the good stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. Like domestic girlfriend. That's the good stuff. That is the good stuff. That is the good stuff. I was on board until you said that. Wait, you think that's good? It's train wreck good.

It's train wreck good. It's train wreck. It is, nah, that's show's ass. Cheeks. It's fucking great. I can, I understand when people call it ass, I allow it. Yeah.

But it's, you know. Yeah. It's one of those. Yeah. The opposite does not apply. I have no respect for it. I have no respect for it. Because you recommended to me Blue Box recently.

I like Blue Box. I like Blue Box. I like Blue Box. The sport part, I mean, like when we're playing sports and stuff, and then the romance is like second. Yeah, I mean, it's just the sports. Yeah. I was like, well, if you want to do sports,

Mons, go play box. Yeah, play box. Because I like sports, I love sports. I love sports, uh, anime and manga. And I, if you're going to do sports, go all in. Yeah. This one was like kind of half-assy. And I was like, go back to the romance.

Like, like, I was like, no, stay on the sport. Oh, yeah. I actually found a sport. I found the sport part more enjoyable. I feel like I want like one or the other. Kind of like, like slam dunk, like, yeah. They did have that little romance, but it was mostly just basketball. Stay in your lane.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Don't try and double dip. Don't try and double dip. And then like maybe at the end they can get with her, whatever. Yeah, right. Naruto and bleach and stuff. After you become the champion and deserve it.

Yeah, exactly. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, sorry for that little time. I just wanted your opinion. That's okay. I hope people don't, don't go on me for this because this clearly has an eight. But like, I think.

Fuck anime fans. They don't know what good are, they don't know anything. Well, I think the problem is that like these new anime's, It's their first introduction to romance animas. Yeah. Like we have like- What is your goat, experience? Go to?

What is your goat, romance anime? Oh, look, Clonet. Hell yeah, brother. Oh, shit. Hell yeah, brother. Watching this made me like appreciate Clonet. I was just like, oh man, Clenette did so well.

I think this one has potential. It has potential. It has potential. I enjoyed a lot of aspects of it and some aspects can be improved, but I actually really enjoyed this one out of like a lot of romances this year. I enjoyed it.

Like six out of ten. You watched all of this? Yeah, I watched it all. I watched it all. I think the main character is the problem. Is it like, if you compare it to Tomoy, yeah, Tomoyal's like such a good character. Like he gets the bitches because he works for it.

He works for it and he's cool as fuck. He's delinquent and then like it just makes sense. Yeah. Well, that's funny. I said what I liked about this one was that the girls don't even look at him. I was like in a romantic way. I was like, oh, they're just like genuinely just like. He's the gay best friend.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that is it. I was like, it would have put me off if this main character and all the girls suddenly had that, you know when the girls have like that fucking blush moment would I'm like, yeah, yeah, I was waiting for that moment to come in here

and they just never came. Like a slow burn. Yeah, yeah, and I was like, oh, okay, it's like, I kind of like that aspect of it. I'm sure in the second scene and they'll start being like, oh, these feelings are, I just realized. Yeah.

All this time we spent together. Oh my goodness. Before I knew it, I was in love with him. And it's like, Shut the fuck up. All right. But that has been this episode of Trash Taste. Hey, again, check out the boys.
