His most Choke moment was on his Jump King Ghost of the Babe stream when he literally flew over the finish line & fell all the way down. The ChokedawgVA.
6 or 7 years ago, I was at Connor's first ever Anime Expo "meet and greet", and it was literally 10 of us outside by the bushes(I still have the VERY awkward videos). Now he has the biggest panel room and so many subscribers that it actually freaks me out a little to see how much he has grown. Like, I'm happy for him, but it's kind of like seeing the kid next door appear in a blockbuster movie with no warning. One day he had a few thousand subs, next I check he had 2 mil.
I still have the mindset of Connor being a small content creator that only a small community has heard of. I still can’t put into perspective how big Connor has gotten within the streaming and anime community
Someone from that first meetup reached out to me recently actually, and asked if I was going to go to his big panel with Mouse. That's when it hit me that I probably wouldn't even be able to get in. I went to his meetups at AE after that first one, but just 2 years later the meetups were too big for me to feel comfortable trying to get a pic with him when I already had ones from the years before. I wanted to let people have their turn. Even after seeing the increase of fans in person, it never really hit me what had happened until I saw him in big events with some of the top streamers.
Connor is the fucking goat, those long irl streams he does for Mouse like the one in the Sanrio park and they Disneyland streams show his dedication for his friends!
@@hehehe4168Yes! He’s after playing both games and a lot of the first game. I’d recommend checking out the vods and/or the edited videos on his channel. Really fun watch.
as a much older cdawg viewer, those prank call videos were my livelihood back then and i had forgotten all about them until now. i dont think ive ever cringed so hard in my entire life when remembering those videos😭😭😭
So happy seeing Connor all over the place, I know Garnt and Joey joke about him being arrogant, but he comes across as genuine and down to earth more often than not. Keep it up Connor!
When I was 14 I somehow managed to interview Connor through skype. It was for some kind of silly unimportant assigment for my Dutch class (not even English). All I know was that I had to interview someone and the first person I thought of was him lol. I really really liked his vids (back then he was in his Black Butler era). It felt sooo cool, having one of your fav *famous* UA-camrs with 10,000 subs talk to YOU about... well, I dont really remember what we talked about. But I bet I still have the recording I made ages ago. I especially remember asking him to pronounce his full name bcs it seemed so foreign to me. But can you imagine interviewing an ANIME UA-camR for a school assignment as a 14 year old who doesn't speak English that well??? My. Mind. Was. Blown. To this day I'm flabbergasted that that was even even possible. And then to see him grow like this? Absolutely insane. Again, thank you so much for letting me interview you. It was an honor, Connor (get it)
@@foxspeckle Absolutely!! And he was so cool about it! Genuinely made me appreciate UA-camrs being actual humans too a bit more (which is a huuuge step for an obsessive 14 year old at that time lol)
I found about Connor through first EP of Trash Taste and been following he's shenanigans since. It's impressive how massively he blew up on the interwebs and he deserves it. He is THE goat.
I come from the black butler prank call days because I was a huge black butler fan at the height of its popularity. I am so so so proud of how far Conner has come and what he’s achieved. Being in an out of every video phase he’s been through these years, the progression has been incredible and well-earned. Really inspiring
Started watching Connor back during his Sebastian prank calls, and I'm so fucking happy to see the path he's taken and the success he's created, he's so passionate and a genuine seeming person, which is rare on UA-cam. Raising charity for his friend is so commendable and a show of his good character tbh, one man who deserves success on UA-cam, I'm glad to have been here for his whole journy, it seems as I got older his videos evolved with me as I started watching at a young age and now I'm in my 20s, the slow changing pace of content definitely helped keep some old fans around and also made everything feel special.
I was fortunate enough to have my voice over work be featured on one of Connor's videos a few years back. I'm not a pro, I had a Fiverr account and was just trying to make some extra cash during the pandemic. But he didn't totally razz me and gave good advice and commentary on what to do better. I haven't VO'd anything work-wise or for fun in a few years, but the advice stays with me on how I can do my job better. This was an unexpected I SPENT A DAY WITH vid but such an awesome surprise! We Stan Connor in my house 🔥
I love Connor! Him bar hopping with Hasan in Japan was my all time favorite stream. He's so funny and it's great to see someone giving back to the community.
Two of my favorite men! I love Connor's streams and videos. He was the last push I needed to pursue being a voice actor. Anthony basically raised me as an early 2000s kid 😅
Connor is not only one of my favorite content creators/streamers, but someone I genuinely respect and look up to. I think he’s had such a positive impact on all those around him and the world at large, but he stays humble and grounded and just seems like he’s got a really good attitude overall. Really glad to see him getting even more and more attention as time goes on.
Watching Connor for the last 4 years, its Amazing how much his content has changed and it always got better. The Man is a born entertainer and a True Chad Monke
I met Connor when we were both guests at Animaritime in Fredricton, New Brunswick and I can attest that he is extremely genuine and was one of the best guests I have ever seen at any convention. He is incredible with fans and so kind and caring and has a ton to share with an audience. Great dude and I am so happy to see all his success. I also love when my mom asks "how's that Welsh boy doing" and I reply explaining how well his channel is doing. 😂
I've been watching Connor since he was the 98 percent. I was the 2 percent male. My sister has CVID)(first letter is Common btw) and I have fibromyalgia. So I understand a little bit of what Ironmouse goes through via my sis. Connors a good guy. Not many people stick around as friends when you have a chronic illness.....
I love seeing Anthony still doing stuff with his channel. I've wanted him back in Smosh for so long but I've loved these interviews, so now we get the best of both worlds.
What introduced me to Connor's channel were the videos about voice acting he did. I was studying translation in college at the time and one of his videos popped up on my suggestions. I decided to watch it on a whim because I thought it could be interesting to learn something on that topic for my studies, and I've been a fan ever since.
Conor always straddles that fine line between a full blown otaku and the cool kid so well lol. I appreciate how inspirational his story is. I always kept up with Conor but I never knew this level of detail. Glad to see how well things are coming together for him.
been waiting for this since anthony stopped by trash taste!! been so cool to see connor grow as a content creator over the years and idk they've talked a lot before but it still feels rewarding to see him be featured ^-^ tysm for this interview!!
This has been really thoughtful and nice to see further information on! I’ve been a casual fan of Connor’s for quite some years now, it’s real sweet to have an interview like these to broaden our view on his experiences thru all of this! Thanks :>
I was surprised at how I actually watched the podcast from beginning to end because I normally wouldn't even start watching it unless it's a movie. But y'all's stories and reactions made me stay for the lodcast
Connor has been doing some of the coolest stuff. The effort that goes into his streams and videos is on another level. Seeing someone use their platform for good is always great
Connor's interview is one of the only interview i've seen that talks like a normal human, he talks to anthony and to us just like a friend, he talks about his passion, his downsides, how he felt growing up, what he learned and it feels very comforting because most of subjects he talked we either experienced it or will be in the future. To see his videos since his sebastian voice acting makes me very proud of him and makes me have some motivation as well as having no more worry about the future so a big thank you to connor for being a wonderful person and helping people in need and of course anthony for making all of this great interviews possible! :D
i started watching trash taste podcast for the other two dudes but connor grew on me so much because he just seems like such a chill guy who’s not afraid to be himself
God I still remember being in primary watching conners prank call videos all the time and continued to watch him throughout highschool- and was so excited when trash taste came out as well, and now conners become such a massive youtuber and it’s been so cool watching him grow as a kid as i myself was growing- he’s just been such a comfort creator for me and it’s so cool seeing him now, me as an adult, seeing the amazing content and friends he has now
Anthony is truly a fantastic interviewer. He asks such engaging questions and seemed to bring out such mature and interesting answers even if its something that's not necessarily a "deep" topic. As a fan of both creators, it's really cool seeing this chill side of Connor
Very true. I am a very shy person, but i can see myself blooming in an interview with him. Anthony gives off very warm and friendly vibes, and he conducts interviews in a light-hearted way, but he can adapt to sensitive, when required. Very empathetic and also fun person.
I was also bullied for liking anime and now I work for japanese animated shows :) Love seeing how widespread anime has become and accessible for anyone too!
It makes me so so happy to see Connor doing well and enjoying being himself :') Been watching his videos for long time and hope to follow his journeys as long as sharing life with us makes him happy too. ALSO it always blows me away how well spoken he is, like goddamn!
Been waiting for this one!! So great to see how happy Connor is with his journey, and for the few times I've met him in person, I also felt that happiness and warmth radiating from him :)
On top of all the money raised with his charity events, what might be even more important is that Connor and Mouse have reached so many people and made them aware. And like he said; watching is already a huge help, but there isn't even a number for how many people may have started donating blood and or plasma after learning about CVID and other immunodeficiency illnesses. I personally, hardly have enough to come by each month, but luckily i have been approved to donate plasma and blood. Which i started doing after learning about and seeing the efforts made by Connor and Mouse. I feel like that also may be said aside from raising money. The awareness and other ways people have started and are able to help out. Love what they both have been doing and hope to be able to see much more from both of them
I'm newly addicted to this channel, more please! I prefer this so much more to your Smosh content (I'm also really happy that you co-own Smosh with Ian once again! but yeah this is just so much better IMO)
I remember first watching the prank call videos, then stopping watching him in between and joining again a few years back. I feel so proud of him. Honestly, I am proud of every person you interview, it feels so comforting seeing them in a better place after hardship and struggle. Every person has a story
Ahhh, its here! The TT interviews began lol, seeing that Joey's was teased, man, its awesome seeing the growth of Connor and his channel and how much good hes done. And ofc, major props to Meilyn helping this happen for the bois.
So proud to see his growth. Back in 2018, I watched him as a medium-large UA-camr focusing on voice acting, weeb culture Fiver trolling. Now, it's less about that and more about (charity) streaming, gaming, crane games, vlogging in Japan and visiting odd places with Kaho - and I sticked around despite these changes because he is entertaining, wholesome, sarcastic and has a realistic perspective on many things.
I started watching Connor's videos a while before he moved to Japan and I am so happy for him for having all this success and for blowing up that much! You pointed out one of the things I like most about him, Anthony, which is his open-mindedness. He never judges other people, he goes into every new adventure with an open heart and mind and is genuinely interested in the things these people he interviews or spends a day with do. He's curious, he's brave, he's silly, he's clever, he's passionate about what he does and believes in the things he does and he's an excellent interviewer. (I hope he got a Best Interviewer Shirt! :D) He takes his work seriously, but has a ton of fun while doing it and he knows he's lucky to have all that, but still knows it was not luck alone, but also his hard work. He cares so much about others, especially his friends and does so much good. Of course I don't know him personally, but that's my impression of him and I just feel like he's a genuinely nice, kind, honest and supportive person. He's giving back so much, it's amazing and inspiring. Connor, I wish you all the best and even more exciting times and bigger adventures to come! You're awesome! ❤️
Damn I remember watching Connor’s voice acting content waaay back. And then I haven’t really watched or heard anything from him since, then BOOM here he is.
Connor got me through high school, deadass. At 15-16, I wrote fanfiction about this guy and it blew up so much that Connor found and read it, and I was so starstruck and embarrassed cause it’s so cringe! But it’s so cool to see Connor here, I adore him and all he does!
I’ve been watching Connor since I was in high school and have been following Trash Taste since the beginning so this was definitely a pleasant surprise, super happy to have the Monke on here
Connor is my hero. I started watching him in 2015 when he first started, and his content as it evolves has gotten me through so much. I feel like I’ve grown up and changed right along with him. I know it’s sappy but I say it anywhere I can: Thank you for being You, and everything you create, Connor.
I am just so happy for the things Connor has accomplished over the years. He is just so sincere and it's just so enjoyable watching him just do what he loves to do. Here's to many more amazing things in your future endeavors, Connor! ❤
This man went from being Sebastian from Black Butler making funny phone calls to Charity streamer, Famous podcast host and friend of Ironmouse. Connor is that guy 😎😎
Connor really is the goat. The events and ideas he does for his live streams are next level. And the Trash Taste pod never fails to just feel like you’re with the boys having a chat. Hope he continues to succeed
Love the growth Connor has been getting, I've been a long the journey for a while and it's so cool not only to see the channel growth, but the personal growth in his actions and motivations.
This was a great interview! I recently discovered Connor through a few Japan channels I watch and I love his videos, so cool to see y’all talk together I’m also a new fan of Anthony 🤘
Connor genuinely seems like a down to earth person. Its nice to see this side of him, as hes usually acting up/trying to keep things entertaining for the camera. Here, you can tell hes just relaxed and being himself (although thats probably part due to Antonys skill as an interviewer)
I’m a brand new fan. So happy that he’s blown up! Same with the rest of the Trash Taste crew. Funny to see him so nervous here as he’s usually very confident. And Anthony has become very confident and chill in these interviews. His hair is 😍
When trash taste launched, I was an avid watcher of Garnt and Joey, but had no clue who this CdawgVA dude was. Seeing him on the podcast, led me towards his stuff, and now i can say for certain, he's my favorite of the three, he's an amazing content creator, and, from what i see, an amazing human as well
Yes!! The first time I watched CDAWGVA was the Ouran impressions back in 2016. However, I watched him and the rest of the Trash Taste bois during the pandemic and keep up with them from time to time as a casual viewer/fan. Thanks for collabing with him Anthony. 🤩
I’ve been a fan of Connor since he had the 98% (which I was apart of lol) and it’s been incredible to see him and his content grow and be seen by more and more people. I can’t wait to see the Monke get even bigger 💜💜
It's so incredible to see how far Connor has come! I've been a fan since the impression videos and seeing him evolve and the channel turn into what it is today and all his accomplishments is truly amazing. I remember the excitement I felt when he announced the move to Japan.. that was such a monumental moment. also.. I'll never forget the first 24h stream where I stayed up for 22h and went to school half-dead for the first time.. insanity The Sebastian impression WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!! that's so nostalgic!
LETSGOOOOOOOO CONNOOOOOOOORRR!! so nice to hear person whoms content I enjoy geniunely enjoy making it and be in it too u know like when u happy that someone happy? thats what i feel TY both Anthony and Connor for putting urselves outhere and just being urselves

so proud of how far connor has come, i met him at a convention here in the uk many years ago and it is so so cool seeing him now!!
Watching the evolution of Connor in real time has been so wild. It's great to see how far he's come as a more casual viewer
this is the best voice actor ever i love all his videos his voice is immaculate
God I still remember being in primary watching conners prank call videos all the time and continued to watch him throughout highschool- and was so excited when trash taste came out as well, and now conners become such a massive youtuber and it’s been so cool watching him grow as a kid as i myself was growing- he’s just been such a comfort creator for me and it’s so cool seeing him now, me as an adult, seeing the amazing content and friends he has now
Anthony is truly a fantastic interviewer. He asks such engaging questions and seemed to bring out such mature and interesting answers even if its something that's not necessarily a "deep" topic. As a fan of both creators, it's really cool seeing this chill side of Connor
Very true. I am a very shy person, but i can see myself blooming in an interview with him. Anthony gives off very warm and friendly vibes, and he conducts interviews in a light-hearted way, but he can adapt to sensitive, when required. Very empathetic and also fun person.
How perfect a timing is this? I've just found Cdawgva and been binging his videos for the last two days.
I was also bullied for liking anime and now I work for japanese animated shows :)
Love seeing how widespread anime has become and accessible for anyone too!
It makes me so so happy to see Connor doing well and enjoying being himself :') Been watching his videos for long time and hope to follow his journeys as long as sharing life with us makes him happy too. ALSO it always blows me away how well spoken he is, like goddamn!
i love both of these guys, this is great
Been waiting for this one!! So great to see how happy Connor is with his journey, and for the few times I've met him in person, I also felt that happiness and warmth radiating from him :)
Didn't expect this crossover with chokedawgVA
I hope the the bullies see this video, only to see "bullied for being a weeb" and seeing the amount of success, support, and friends he has now lmao ❤
Im very sure they know, hes graduating class was 20
I NEEDED THIS TO KEEP ME SANE BC OF SKL ily guys you always make me happy keep doing what ur doing!!!
On top of all the money raised with his charity events, what might be even more important is that Connor and Mouse have reached so many people and made them aware. And like he said; watching is already a huge help, but there isn't even a number for how many people may have started donating blood and or plasma after learning about CVID and other immunodeficiency illnesses. I personally, hardly have enough to come by each month, but luckily i have been approved to donate plasma and blood. Which i started doing after learning about and seeing the efforts made by Connor and Mouse. I feel like that also may be said aside from raising money. The awareness and other ways people have started and are able to help out. Love what they both have been doing and hope to be able to see much more from both of them
Connor is such a down to earth person and so nice, definitely deserves how far he has come 💪💪
Conner is such a great guy and he's done so much for others and I also just wish him endless success.
I'm newly addicted to this channel, more please! I prefer this so much more to your Smosh content (I'm also really happy that you co-own Smosh with Ian once again! but yeah this is just so much better IMO)
Reading thru the comments are so nice. I think usually a community is also reflective of how a streamer is. Connor and fans are chill af
I hope to spend a day with you in the future
So happy Connor is moving around the youtube space. He's just one of those guys who you can't help rooting for. Even though he always loses lol
I never expected this collab but I'm so pleasantly suprised 😂
I remember first watching the prank call videos, then stopping watching him in between and joining again a few years back. I feel so proud of him. Honestly, I am proud of every person you interview, it feels so comforting seeing them in a better place after hardship and struggle. Every person has a story
Ahhh, its here! The TT interviews began lol, seeing that Joey's was teased, man, its awesome seeing the growth of Connor and his channel and how much good hes done. And ofc, major props to Meilyn helping this happen for the bois.
i love watching him explain his childhood and talk about his career in a serious context, it’s so refreshing
So proud to see his growth. Back in 2018, I watched him as a medium-large UA-camr focusing on voice acting, weeb culture Fiver trolling. Now, it's less about that and more about (charity) streaming, gaming, crane games, vlogging in Japan and visiting odd places with Kaho - and I sticked around despite these changes because he is entertaining, wholesome, sarcastic and has a realistic perspective on many things.
I started watching Connor's videos a while before he moved to Japan and I am so happy for him for having all this success and for blowing up that much! You pointed out one of the things I like most about him, Anthony, which is his open-mindedness. He never judges other people, he goes into every new adventure with an open heart and mind and is genuinely interested in the things these people he interviews or spends a day with do. He's curious, he's brave, he's silly, he's clever, he's passionate about what he does and believes in the things he does and he's an excellent interviewer. (I hope he got a Best Interviewer Shirt! :D) He takes his work seriously, but has a ton of fun while doing it and he knows he's lucky to have all that, but still knows it was not luck alone, but also his hard work. He cares so much about others, especially his friends and does so much good. Of course I don't know him personally, but that's my impression of him and I just feel like he's a genuinely nice, kind, honest and supportive person. He's giving back so much, it's amazing and inspiring.
Connor, I wish you all the best and even more exciting times and bigger adventures to come! You're awesome! ❤️
I love Connor , I can’t believe you interviewed him , like I’m so shocked it’s so cool omg😭❤️🫶🏼
The atmosphere in this channel in every interview is so comfortable ✨
Damn I remember watching Connor’s voice acting content waaay back. And then I haven’t really watched or heard anything from him since, then BOOM here he is.
Connor got me through high school, deadass.
At 15-16, I wrote fanfiction about this guy and it blew up so much that Connor found and read it, and I was so starstruck and embarrassed cause it’s so cringe!
But it’s so cool to see Connor here, I adore him and all he does!
Ain't no way dawg
Soooooooo hyped for thisss
I’ve been watching Connor since I was in high school and have been following Trash Taste since the beginning so this was definitely a pleasant surprise, super happy to have the Monke on here
Connor is my hero. I started watching him in 2015 when he first started, and his content as it evolves has gotten me through so much. I feel like I’ve grown up and changed right along with him. I know it’s sappy but I say it anywhere I can: Thank you for being You, and everything you create, Connor.
I am just so happy for the things Connor has accomplished over the years. He is just so sincere and it's just so enjoyable watching him just do what he loves to do. Here's to many more amazing things in your future endeavors, Connor! ❤
This man went from being Sebastian from Black Butler making funny phone calls to Charity streamer, Famous podcast host and friend of Ironmouse. Connor is that guy 😎😎
Connor has such a big heart and what I love most about him is that he still always jokes around and has fun, everything he does feels authentic
Connor really is the goat. The events and ideas he does for his live streams are next level. And the Trash Taste pod never fails to just feel like you’re with the boys having a chat. Hope he continues to succeed
Love the growth Connor has been getting, I've been a long the journey for a while and it's so cool not only to see the channel growth, but the personal growth in his actions and motivations.
NO WAY‼️‼️ i had no idea this was happening and i’m now going to binge Anthony’s videos
This was a great interview! I recently discovered Connor through a few Japan channels I watch and I love his videos, so cool to see y’all talk together I’m also a new fan of Anthony 🤘
I didn't expect this but I like this, two of my favorite youtubers right now.
Connor genuinely seems like a down to earth person. Its nice to see this side of him, as hes usually acting up/trying to keep things entertaining for the camera. Here, you can tell hes just relaxed and being himself (although thats probably part due to Antonys skill as an interviewer)
This is a collab I never knew would happen
I’m a brand new fan. So happy that he’s blown up! Same with the rest of the Trash Taste crew. Funny to see him so nervous here as he’s usually very confident.
And Anthony has become very confident and chill in these interviews. His hair is 😍
When trash taste launched, I was an avid watcher of Garnt and Joey, but had no clue who this CdawgVA dude was. Seeing him on the podcast, led me towards his stuff, and now i can say for certain, he's my favorite of the three, he's an amazing content creator, and, from what i see, an amazing human as well
Yes!! The first time I watched CDAWGVA was the Ouran impressions back in 2016. However, I watched him and the rest of the Trash Taste bois during the pandemic and keep up with them from time to time as a casual viewer/fan. Thanks for collabing with him Anthony. 🤩
I’ve been a fan of Connor since he had the 98% (which I was apart of lol) and it’s been incredible to see him and his content grow and be seen by more and more people. I can’t wait to see the Monke get even bigger 💜💜
It's so incredible to see how far Connor has come! I've been a fan since the impression videos and seeing him evolve and the channel turn into what it is today and all his accomplishments is truly amazing. I remember the excitement I felt when he announced the move to Japan.. that was such a monumental moment.
also.. I'll never forget the first 24h stream where I stayed up for 22h and went to school half-dead for the first time.. insanity
The Sebastian impression WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC!! that's so nostalgic!
As someone who's been watching him for years, I am very. very. proud of him.(yes I'm from the og 93%)
LETSGOOOOOOOO CONNOOOOOOOORRR!! so nice to hear person whoms content I enjoy geniunely enjoy making it and be in it too
u know like when u happy that someone happy? thats what i feel
TY both Anthony and Connor for putting urselves outhere and just being urselves
Love CDAWGVA, finding out he was Welsh a few years back was really awesome, awesome seeing someone from my home country doing such amazing things!
Known him since the Sebastian days he’s come such a long way and I’m proud ❤❤❤❤
Connor's wearing a different shirt? No way.
Honestly though, I'm so happy to see Connor on the show! I'm a fan of you both!
