"I fcking love Demon Slayer but it's the same reason why I watch porn."
Thank you for Connor. I was always looking for the best way to describe how I like Demon Slayer.
So... weekly seeing demon heads getting cut off = post-nut clarity and move on?
I watched the movie the other day. It was entertaining but it didn't leave any impact. The animation is the only thing carrying this show tbh. The story is interesting enough but it's nothing special.
Connor be lovin' that climax.
@@sirravixfourhorn7681 i watched the tv series after the movie.
imo, it was way better
also i think it would have popped off way more if the movie didnt exist, not that i would know lol
it was good, but no impact as you said btw
@@FaerieHijacker animation quality
I agree with Garnt's theory. When things are simplistic and small, it's a lot easier for them to be enjoyable. Around 2014 is when things started to grow rapidly and more and more companies and money were pouring into social medias with youtube getting bought by google and others having the same thing happen. This created a divide from the website itself and the people who use it. It's like going from a farmer and a village chief, where the village chief knows everyone in the village personally, to an emperor and one of his many subjects. Might be a weird analogy but I think it holds up.
It is also the year Gamergate happened.
That analogy sounds like what happens to the village in mother 3
Yeah i'm siding with Garnt on this one than on Connor's theory. I was also thinking that it's even earlier than 2014 but the transition wasn't really that noticeable
@@kosakos1999 that and a bunch of other crap that put politics into hyper drive and the nuances behind complicated stances were brushed aside by people who were desperate to be right 100% of the time no matter what, even though the nuanced discussion has more value than and spectrum or horseshoe argument.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) Why even bring this up? Are you that desperate for attention?
I remember when I used to watched Britain's Got Talent, and in the semi-finals one year there was this guy who would balance on a wooden plank resting on a free moving cylinder with no support, and over the course of his act he would continuously build this tower underneath him from chairs or scrap which became more and more perilous, all while staying perfectly balanced, occasionally pretending to fall. Then his glamourous assistant would set fire to the tower and chuck him an electric guitar which he struck a few power chords on to close out the act.
He didn't make the final because more people voted for the carbon copy kids dance troupe act you see half a dozen of every year.
Then I stopped watching Britain's Got Talent.
Do you know what year that was?
@@stephenjames1695 lol no, it was probably close to a decade ago.
The sacred riana got unfairly eliminated at bgt so yeah that's my reason why when a contestant got eliminated on live tv, that show gets shutdown and the host for example Britain's got talent a fine or life imprisonment or worse they cannot air reality shows indefinitely without a license
Not having an intro for this one felt weird. However, the abrupt end of the episode made me realise that maybe the recording has just been split into two episodes since we are building backlog for recording hiatus soon.
Oh maybe, I can see that. But I feel like no matter what, they probably just forgot to do intro and outro.
You can forget when recording multiple episodes and forget when recording only one.
Connor isn’t weird - that’s how the vast majority of us feel. People with extreme opinions are far more likely to broadcast them, then other people pretend to agree for internet points and /or to avoid public shaming. So it badly skews the picture of what people actually believe. In reality, most people are reasonable and can agree on common sense and basic ethics, it’s just that we all think we’re alone in a sea of maniacs.
Absolutely my friend! Still, it's very difficult to remember that sometimes.
Disagree. The amount of people that lack self-awareness and the will power to overcome their ego and come to terms that what they stand for is objectively wrong is astoundingly high. So many times you argue with someone that they're wromg and provide the facts that prove so, and they somehow wound twisting reality itself so their illusion of whats right stays intact.
@@revenger211 just don’t engage sadly it’s a waste of time and effort.
That view is highly dependent on your age. These boys were too young to know what it was before they entered the online environment.
@@ka-lan it is and I wish critical thinking skills were something widely developed from a young age so people don't reach the critical levels of holding the dangerous opinion I had the experience of reading.
I never cease to be amazed at how natural and professional Connor is as a host. I think he could easily host some kind of talk show on TV
I really wish to be as chill and outspoken as Connor dude.
At this point he'd make less money doing that than chatting shit on trash taste
Trash taste > TV
I think he could be a good narrator for a nature documentary.
@@maineman5757 I would watch the hell out of the documentary. Would be amazing if it's super serious and high budget. I would be laughing my ass off listening to his voice with animals doing animal shit on the screen
The whole "mid" conversation made me realise how much our ratings have become compressed. Personally, when I used to maintain a MAL account I only ever rated anything from 5-9. If it was 5 or under it got dropped or never even got a chance in the first place. And I only gave like 2 or 3% of anime I watched a 10. So realistically I was rating on a 5 point system instead of a 10 point system, and I think a lot of other people do too.
Yes cuz you have the option to stop and it’s much harder to walk out of a cinema
This is why I personally like the 10 point system but with 1-5 range. It makes it much more clear that 3 is average, and to convert you just double the number basically.
Made it a 100 likes
I would love to know what they edited out because that last segue with the patrons was super abrupt and the boys look exhausted giving the sign-off. RELEASE THE SNYDER CUT!!
prob cuz they were doing the episodes in bulk becuz they are about to go to barnt and sydney's wedding and other places

If the three of them ever starred in their own anime, all three of them would be the main protagonists all at the same time.
First
It won't be any different because the podcast is already a slice of life anime and any specials are OVAs but canon
Now you're just commenting for the sake of it
For real though, thought seems like a hella cool idea for an anime/manga.
nah, garnts the mc bro
19:53 This whole segment perfectly summarizes why English classes (or whatever your native language is) are SO IMPORTANT. People complain about how every major in university requires basic language credits, but it's because the ability to effectively convey your thoughts and opinions is an irreplaceable skill. that's what those classes (attempt) to teach you.
As a 17 year old who grew up in this internet environment, it’s refreshing to hear from your guy’s perspective. These current algorithms honestly suck you into so many toxic rabbit holes, and listening to you guys who’ve seen this shift happen in real time puts a lot of things into perspective.
I totally get the "not being able to adress something properly" situation or how I like to call it the "Damn, why didn't I come up with that back then while standing under the shower" situation.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) Damn, you really like your own comments?
Also I feel like he's also trying to explain the fact that he can only argue against the other guys because they're the ones he's talking to, so if someone in the viewership thinks he has a "dumb" take they will create a counter argument in their heads or comment it and got off thinking they're smart but Connor or the other guys might have had another counter argument to that which he obviously can't express to this random person.
The shower and the toilet seat just makes you realize all the best ways to make the argument understandable.
Lol true (also, fuck the first troll reply)

@@christie-chan4959 we all have those moments. We all suffer just a little.
Hearing Garnt mishear "pawn stars" on the podcast and stream feels surreal.
What? Explain pls
yeah garnt really really showed how fuckin unintelligent he was on this one, which is rough because he hands down has the single most infuriating fking laugh i have EVER heard in over 30 years, this fkin kid sounds like he's a 400 pound asthmatic fishman gasping for fking oxygen while trying to imitate a seal EVERY SINGLE TIME ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING REMOTELY AMUSING, i literally have had to start skippping anytime he starts laughing because he does it for so long and once you notice it it becomes absolutely fking INFURIATING beyond belief, he steamroll talks over everyone then when someone else interrupts him with something funny it's *GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP DURRRRR ADAM SEESSLER SEAL NOISES GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP GASP* and then i contemplate stabbing my damn ear drums out.
Connor worrying about his head when he loses his hair is 100% relatable. I had a VERYYY thick head of hair until I hit 30 and then it basically all fell out in about a year. I tried to keep it grown out because I wasn't ready to shave it. I finally caved and I look so much better than the patchy hair I was holding on to. Connor has good facial hair, so he'll be fine. It's definitely weird at first to like not feel a bunch of hair in your face or in your hand, but end of day if your barber is good they'll make you look good. Also my barber told me I should bleach and then toner my hair when it's shaved down because it'll look more even and is trendy right now.
do you think Joey realizes that the "is he gay or European?" quote is from a song from the legally blonde musical?
Trash taste musical: Gay or JoJo fan
@@afteritsallsaidanddoneisti9285 isn't that the same thing?
Was just commenting on that. They're just calling him both lol
I didn't.
@@seraphwithatank6535 it's an older theatre meme. early to mid 2000s i think. it's a repeating lyric in one of the songs but it became a sort of meme in among musical and theatre people. it's a funny quote both in and out of context.
I also love how Connor rags on the American pronunciation of Pawn Stars while even his fellow Englishman misunderstood him.
It doesn't help that the Pawn Stars guys had a game show spin off called Pawnography.
@@trapperscout2046 I also feel like the title "Pawn Stars" itself was definitely a tongue-in-cheek joke lol.
In my opinion, things become an addiction is when you plan your day and your future around the addictive thing. When you find yourself thinking about it throughout your day and find yourself prioritizing it over other things that might be important to you.
Job
As embarassing it is to admit, i want to thank trash taste for opening my eyes to *culture* addiction. It helped me try to get out and i needed to say thank you.
Personally I don't mind the "shorter" episode. I'd rather them not drag the discussion when they don't have anything to talk about, also we've been spoiled with 2hr+ episodes so i don't mind a few episodes being shorter in comparison.
I think it’s so short because they filmed then episode or two the same day before this one. You can tell, they look tired. Chances are they want a backlog before Garnts wedding
Chances are it’ll go up after the wedding
Tbh, I'm just too drunk to watch a longer episode anyways. :P
@@Dropkickurteacher they also lost 2 weeks because Garnt got covid so they have to restock the backlog
i 100% agree. i wouldn’t mind of there’s an episode of only an hour
@@Dropkickurteacher did Garnt already announced when is the wedding or not?
"Is the stock market a game?" As a person with a B.A in economics and courses at the graduate level in micro economics I immediately said "yes" and it's gambling too. :D
Nice lol
trader bros : It's not gambling ive strategy!!!
😐
Is derivative market a game? Well professional traders think its not because they are employed by JPM or DB, but in reality its just betting with more steps, you do a swap and that thing is full of betting, even when you try to hedge the risk its still full of betting, everyone here is trying to trick their counterpart into buying their risk, and the buyers? Betters of course.
First time I heard what stocks were was in high school when my teacher brought it up as a discussion, and I told my teacher “so it’s gambling” and he was so offended 🙄😂 Ok sir, you do what you want with your money but it is what it is lol
@@erika8349 Stock are gambling if you just wants the price to go up, but in other case its a good way to do business, M&A sometimes started with stock purchase, also having stocks increases your stake in other people's business, but to ordinary people its indeed purely gamble, while derivatives are like extra pure gamble, you end goal can only be achieved by gamble.
Addiction is more of a “reward system” more than cognitive knowing it’s a threat. It’s very psychological and has to due to dopamine levels that make you experience a sensation you first felt when doing an action, in a sense chasing that high. A lot of people struggle with addiction because the more they want to experience that high, the more tolerance they develop and thus the more they need to do that action to get near that high that they will never experience again. Its very hard to control, and I hope those who need the help get what they need.
Connor was extremely correct on how people care more about the way people talk versus what they are talking about and same with Garnt saying that the longer an opinion is written, the more people are just going to instantly trust it without even reading it. Sora The Troll made an absolutely amazing example on this. One time on a live stream, he made an example to where he talked about how he loved to eat his own shit but he did it in a very convincing and firm voice, and then he talked about him loving Justin Bieber, but in a shy and unconvincing voice.
Garnt's right. Politicians try to prove others wrong instead of making themselves right. That is happening to Philippines rn.
And on social media there’s this conflict between BBM supporters and Leni supporters.
@@shroobzzz hence imo who ever wins is the biggest loser as the country will be more divided.
@@exia0616 I just hope we filipinos are mature enough to set aside the differences after the election and know that unity is not attainable through election. it's if people are willing to unite and respect the result of our democratic practice for the betterment of the country.
@@shroobzzz more like BBM vs everyone lol
The harsh truth is, nothing is definitively right or wrong, but many people are only interested in right and wrong, say if Trump actually tell you all the pros and cons of building a Mexican border wall, calls the public to study more into the subject and decide whether his idea is worth supporting, most people would lose their mind, pro-Trump people would be confused by some of the implications that they have never think before and that its not a perfect solution, while anti-Trump people would have to accept the fact that they need to look into his reasoning rather than calling him racist, given that they are genuinely interested in the matter. A big portion of voters would rather believe in slogans (that includes "the counterparty is wrong") than to think about all the reasoning and implications behind a simple option of for or against, and we give ourselves the excuse of not looking into important matters, like being busy from work, despite holding the most important type of power within the political system.
has anyone even noticed how the editor just edits himself in connor's mug at 22:11
How did I miss that
I think Mudan has said he does one of these in every episode, though this is the first one I've seen
nice catch
Mudan said he does this every episode, they're little easter eggs.
Nice
I was having my dinner when out of the corner of my eye at 22:10 I just saw the hidden Mudan in this episode. Feels like I got an achievement for finding a hidden Mudan on my first watchthrough of an episode even though this one is pretty obviously placed
I just commented the same thing. Glad other people saw it lol
Wow I didn’t even know this was a thing!
On the last point of "UA-cam is the new TV": It is fascinating to me how in Germany almost all national (and even regional) pay-free subsidized broadcasting stations have one or even multiple UA-cam channels and many have their own streaming media library. The last twenty years changed so much about how media is consumed. Mind-blowing🤯❗
I think what we often don’t realize and the scary thing about addiction is that sometimes people don’t feel they _are_ addicted. “Well I can still function. I can go to work, have relationships, etc. I’m not addicted.”. We kinda don’t think something is an addiction until it gets really really bad. I always hear stories about people who became alcoholics; they started drinking just as a way of rewarding themselves. They genuinely don’t realize it until it’s pointed out to them.
Alcoholism doesn't necessarily have a link with the quantity of alcohol you're consuming anyways, and that applies to other types of addiction as well. Someone who absolutely needs to drink one beer a day to function in their daily life is considered addicted to it. Obviously as you mentioned, yes, addiction can really sneak on you until it gets out of control and you have no other choice but to face it. But it's also deeply ingrained into how much it affects your daily life if you don't consume X substance, media, etc.
@@jellycatfish I think it's the best way determine addiction. It's when you don't do it or have it, and then feel like it's the end of the world or one cannot function anymore. You get anxious and worse have some kind of break down just because you didn't get to do that particular thing in a certain time or within the day.
Yup, it also sneaks up on you. I was addicted to opiates, mainly heroin and it started as something really cheap, it was great. The highs cost pretty much nothing, there was no hangover and I'd just do it once every two weeks or so. But that became "might as well do it on the weekends!" and "and other days off... okay friday too" and so forth, until you're doing it every single day. It sneaks up and can happen SO fast.
It’s really hard for addicts to get out of it too ): A family friend suffered from being an alcoholic and the doctors warned her that she would die if she didn’t quit. She went to rehab I think twice but always fell back into depression and started drinking. One day her mother passed away and she died drinking herself to death a few months later. My mom knew it would kill her one day but there was nothing she could say or do to make her stop. That’s why it’s important for people to be careful and be self-aware when consuming food, drinks, prescriptions, or content that is not “good” for you. Meaning, if it negatively affects your mental or physical health, your job, your personal life, family, etc. then you need to stop and see a medical professional.
The thing with the Jujutsu Kaisen movie is that it's essentially the pilot episode for the series. So if anything feels half-baked in the story it's because the manga is basically the Beta version of the main series.
Yeah, I viewed it like that and enjoyed it. I went in knowing it was the first thing released from the manga.
The movie was fun like as someone who's read the manga it's cool to see the build up, the "I can't wait till this is talked about aspect" that it builds. But from the view point of someone who hasn't read the manga it's just a that was cool kinda movie.
Overrated.

Every week these bois impress with the good conversation.
Oh wow I was kinda surprised when I saw them with their beards and thought "how did they grow back so fast?" but then I realized this was recorded before the 24h stream where they shaved them off ^^
the podcasts are usually recorded a few weeks before they air, so that they can have recording breaks for specials/holidays
@@wolfdemn I know, it just felt weird after JUST seeing them shave their beards off earlier because I was watching the VOD on twitch for half the day today ^^
they did WHAT!? sacrilege!!! NotLikeThis
@@brunosilva-ed4pz they turned themselves into LittleBabyMen again
When I shave, my stubble grows back on the 2nd or 3rd day. I also look so weird without a beard, I genuinely believe I'm meant to have it.
Damn we got a short episode here
probably because they're mass recording sessions as the boys are preparing to leave for the wedding
I mean I guess.. but crazy how an hour and a half of something is short nowadays 😂
There’s no intro and the first topic seemed pretty advanced to be the first. Pretty sure they cut a significant amount of the episode for whatever reason
Trash Taste Fans: I want 2 hours for this episode
Trash Taste: The best I can do is an hour and 37 minutes.

Didn't they say they would start mass producing them in a row to prepare for them leaving for the wedding
@@HollowPurple-if2co Yeah this was filmed well before that
I definitely agree that politics has become less of proving why you're good and more of proving why others are wrong. It's like people think it's the same when that's not always the same.
Especially in the US theres this problem where none of the parties are interested in doing policies for the people, so its just a mud fight / a fight over the culture war (aka irrelevant ass shit)
Like instead of
you know, admitting that they’re wrong and trying to better themselves by listening to their people and their valid criticisms, they just say “you’re wrong and I’m right because I have more power than all of you”.
“The Great American Baking Show” sounds like a localised JoJo stand name.
This is made my day. You are 100% correct
Hey Uh I just wanted to say Yall have been a big part of my life I had problems with anxiety more then usual for years and These4 months I found yall I feel so much better Idk y’all are just so cool and I thank you for getting me out of that bad Area of my life
Kinda weird having a Trash Taste episode this short nowadays. Felt like time really just flew by.
I thought they had to do minimum 2 hours
And this episode don't have intro - it just starts on topic. I think there is lost footage...
@@adelbertcadmer957 actually, that makes so much sense.
@@JohnSmith-fe6xk i think 2 hrs is their cap. They sometimes make 1-2 videos in one day so they would probably have to stop it once the 2hr-ish mark comes up.
The outro also was very rushed. Usually they start talking about their patrons
The internet has gotten people too comfortable with being rude or stupid. On the plus side its given us unforgettable memes--a not so fair trade but hey
And then people feel they have to go just that bit further.

i love the release schedule, miserable from work or uni? trash taste, watch in a few sittings then when i'm half through, i have a stream love you lads
joeys take at 35:30 is the most sensible when it comes to addiction. It come down to dopamine; (or something sorry I'm drunk) when you feel pleasure dopamine is realeased and you want more of it b/c it's that awesome. So you continue to look for that feeling
“Common sense has become less common” that was pure gold
It's funny how Connor says Joey looks like a hacker- since he does have an IT degree. Hide your NFTs before Joey the hacker man steals them

When Connor said, "Watch it, I wanna talk about it."
I felt the Arcane topic coming at that moment. LOL. If Josh the Manga Lad won't see it, and Connor wanted to talk about it, I guess, make a separate video with just Garnt and upload it on your channel? I'm interested to see that as well.
“Proving others wrong doesn’t mean you’re the one in the right” oh hey that reminds me of that one arc in monogatari

The polarization on just about any topic is probably due to social media algorithms that, by their nature, create echo chambres simply by how they function. This has likely been an unintended consequence of them, and while they're good at figuring out what you like, we're definitely being split by the other side of that double edged sword.
They prioritize things that get you to click more. yup. so they click bait you with outrage and people end up angry enough to kill each other over nothing.
The algorithm promotes negativity and drama over nuance and reason. It is very much intentionally designed this way to get you addicted to keep scrolling.
It also only gets worse when people try to demonize either side of the spectrum, the algorithm basically just amps up the tribalism
Not unintended. The echo chambers are proven to have some of the highest engagement numbers of any strategy. The toxicity is unintentional though. That's a "user problem" from the platform's perspective.
I've read somewhere that negative emotion invokes stronger reaction than positive ones (might be survival instinct or something)
which is why clickbait and outrageous headline gets all the attention
Tbh right I think connor has a much clearer picture of things then ppl wanna give him credit for
Idk I thought the dream part of Mugen Train was really good. It was a great way to build on Rengoku’s character since they had no realistic way of doing it organically at any other point. Plus I also thought Tanjiro’s scenes were really well done
With respect to working out when the internet went insane, targeted ads and videos started in 2012. I feel that ties together nicely time-wise
Damn this episode is like June 2020 level of short. Haven't seen a episode under 1 hour and 40 minutes and a while lmao
Probably still as good as the others tho.
@Pro Russia Loli (Russian Imperialist) russian bot lmao (everyone report for terrorism and spam)
I think they already filmed an episode before this, this feels like just them trying to crank up productions so they won’t be behind when they leave for Garnt’s wedding, like you can tell this wasn’t their first film of the day. Still good tho
This is one of the most relatable episodes that I have when listening to Connor.
1:18:20 they kinda did that actually. I remember there was this 3 part crossover between pawn stars, its spin-off american restoration and a third one about two men who go throuhg america finding old stuff. It was this big storyline about finding, buying and restoring a vintage car that was the dream car of the old man from pawn stars. All as a gift for his 70th birthday.
The game became real when corporation proved the internet is profitable. The polarisations, the social media bots and content farms, the arms race find the next anger piece to undermine each other, are all traditional media's way of doing things. Individuals are also to blame for being polarised, but in our algorithm driven platform, it's much harder for individuals make level headed decisions in this climate.
The internet didn't become more of a shitshow. The internet just got the respect it deserved, and as a result, it reflects what we do in real life, except, like Connor said, everyone are given a platform, including those who is traditionally revels in the tribal mentality.
Basically it's as Serial Experiments Lain foretold about our digital lives being as important as our physical lives
*This* 👏
@@LouisSubearth the rush of nostalgia i just got, wow.
yesss this
It was an incoming problem before algorithms took over everything, or at least to the degree the run stuff now. I don't wanna be that guy but I saw it coming 10+ years ago, a process called cyberbalkanization or now known as the splinternet; which is the segregation of the Internet into smaller groups with similar interests, to a degree that they show a narrow-minded approach to outsiders or those with contradictory views. It was almost inevitable and it's crazy watching it come to pass and the ramifications it's had on real life, really sad. One of the big problems is its the 10% who are most vocal and speak for the group when if you removed that 10% I think you would find a more diverse lot of opinions rather than what most often devolves into diatribes.
You know its good when there is no intro and they go straight into it right away
Yep, it's better this way, the intro and outro are almost completely pointless.
Best special so far felt like I was watching a real tv show very professional
And the incognito issue is why you should create another chrome profile instead of incognito. It's the exact same thing but you have history, saved logins and bookmarks
I had a serious Deja vu when they had the whole Pawnstars vs p0rnstars moment here, after just hearing them do it on After Dark.
Yeah right. Can’t believe Garnt made the same mistake on the stream lol
Connor thinking the internet was brand new and better when he found it is the most young person thing ever. Bruh I used to dial into BBS' to download slow crappy pron jpgs. it was heaven.
I remember hiding the house phone, so I didn't have to worry about getting cut off.
waiting 1 hour to download a Limp Bizkit mp3 from Napster team rise up.
I was using the Internet before Connor was born.
This episode didn’t pop up on my homepage. I had to come looking for it
Connor wearing merch just reminded me to check my mail for updates on my merch order. Thanks.
CDawgVA comparing Demon Slayer to Porn was hilarious.
i mean for me, i also skip to where the action is lmao
All flourish no substance can still be satisfying.
no offense, demon slayer is good overall, but the story is really average for me. and they keep rehashing the same sad sibling demon back story tropes.
agree
What bothers me about politics in general is the, "Oh, you believe this? Then you're of this political party!" For me, it depends on the issue, not party affiliation. Conservatives think I'm too liberal and liberals think I'm too conservative. After witnessing last few US presidential elections, the one in 2016 was the first one in which "none of the above" seemed like the best choice.
I refused to vote in that election out of despair and disdain for the piss-poor showing of misogynist asshole man-child and whackadoo corporate crony paying lip service to progress.
Just don’t be racist or anti-vaccine and you’ll be fine, I’m kind of glad I haven’t been keeping up with it after I voted Democrat in 2020. Just been trying to focus on school and such
There also seems to be this idea online that if you DON’T identify with a major party that you’re not contributing enough or something along those lines
I detest both modern parties so for the sake of argument i usually say I’m an independent or a centrist, taking ideas from both that I find fitting.
This isn’t complicated yet i can’t count the amount of times I’ve said this and people end up finding it weird
Might just be the people im around but it seems way to common place from where ive been
@@magiv7573 It's not just you, and I agree with you.
@@magiv7573 I can tell you why I find it weird. One party is very explicitly worse than the other. I hate both parties but I can recognize a lesser evil. Equivlating both of them is essentially advocacy for the worse one.
This was short and sweet babyyyy !!!
joey's hair cut hits different!
looks awesome!!
The addiction to porn can also mess with your love life. Not being able to perform in bed can have a down side to your relationships. You're so use to the crazy stuff on a screen but seeing it up close can be odd
This episode length is not enough for my addiction
Literally 24 hour stream vod in twitch
@@jqa16 not enough, need more.
Watch more podcasts
51:10 That moment when you realize you go to the theater, not to be amazed by the performance, but by the people' s reaction next to you to the performance.
I’m so glad this show is called trash taste because it qualms my anger about all this trash taste and takes the bois have.
A short episode but it's gonna be a banger either way
My first thought too
I can't believe Connor managed to bring up Poop at the very last second
"Common sense has definitely become less common." has got to be my new favourite quote.
my experience says that a good line to determine when a experience becomes an addiction is when it starts interfering with your regular life outside the experience, most often to a detriment.
When it's obsessive or coming up when it's not pertinent and irrelevant but feels necessary to pursue or else, then it's an addiction manifest.
For the boys struggling with p0rn addiction I wish y’all the best, you guys really are fighting against one of the most powerful addictions ever!!!
lmao joey thinks we’re the funny ones when say “pawn”
"This show is sponsored by reality Tv!" Is what I heard hahahahaha when the ad came up...
I enjoyed this episode a lot! One of my favs yet. Not sure why though 😆
Besides what Connor said n I agree I feel like nowdays society "demands" everyone to pick a side or stand for something therefore when u don't or as Connor said "have normal opinions" people assume u r dumb or stupid or whatever. I just feel like people need to chill more.
Agreed. I often hear about the "if you're not with us then you're against us" mentality and that makes me so sad... there's not a lot of room for nuance at all.
@@PhillyEastSide Right, n the way I see things is like if u don't have nuance u don't question yourself n/or your reality which makes u basically a sheep like u don't really reflect or grow as a person.
@@anahelenaragao another very good point!
yea bcs more often than not, being a on one side extreme will solve nothing. I just wish people will see this more often
@@savstinks6847 yeah I wish it too.
Joey: wow, this seems like a Trash TV universe...
Producer: *writes it down*
22:11 mudan just adding himself on top of the TRASH TASTE mug
I just enjoy listening to trash taste every week
I loved the part when Connor literally became the "Plot what plot" tag in many fanfics and stuff around there
Damn... Conner really calling out the Steven's of the world got me dead R I fuckin P
smol Mudan in a trash mug is cute as hell
I just realized it only shows up in 22:16
that is a clean edit, I almost thought it's a real prop like a paper they glue on the mug or something
I like Joe's new haircut, he looks lowkey now a bit like Kishibe Rohan from JoJo part 4 or am I the only one seeing him like this now?
For anyone wondering this is their shortest episode since ep 4 (not including specials)
LMAO at these guys talking about 2016/2018 being the year “the internet took off” meanwhile those of us who remember 2003/2004 when the major
switch from dial-up to high speed happened at the same time as social networking switched from AOL to MySpace being a dual revolution of software and hardware!
Those of us who went for BBS to AOL were like...we fucked up, go back.
all of yous kids on your wisephones and immediategram while I cry over the loss of the glory of ARPANET, when I could know that every person on the other side was another proud member of the CIA
The boys' vocab whilst fighting about chicken: goo goo ga ga
meanwhile the boys whilst doing an adread: Huzzah! Your exquisite use of the English language defies reality
As an American I don’t remember Ebola being that politicized. People in the U.S. were only concerned about for like a month. Then again I wasn’t very in to politics yet
People were saying it was weird that nurses got Ecolab and then suddenly we got a vaccine/treatment for ebola. That's all I remember from the news.
