- Welcome to the Trash Taste Podcast. Join us as we dive into the world of underrated, overlooked and misunderstood media. From B-movies to forgotten albums, we'll be exploring the gems hiding in plain sight and give them the appreciation they deserve. So whether you're a connoisseur of trash or just looking for something different, this is the podcast for you. Let's get started.

- Oh my God. - You know what? - That's amazing. - We need to use the term connoisseur of trash more often. - Connoisseur of trash. - Hello my fellow connoisseurs of trash. - Connoisseurs of trash, this episode is brought to you by AI. Everything in this, every topic of this podcast is going to be AI related because it's been a big topic. - Do you mean AI generated? - AI generated. - Yeah, an AI generated. - We are not gonna come up with any topics of our own because why would we? We have AI for that now.

- If we want to go on a tangent, the AI will decide when we will go on the tangent. - I guess I should crack open our first topic. - Yeah, go for it. - Just jump right into it. - We got a lot here in trash cone. All right, so our first topic for today is

- Anime dads, the good, the bad, the ugly. - Let me talk about the bad. Fucking Goku. Can we talk about how shit of a dad Goku is? Did he like raise his child at all?

- I think you could say this about most anime dads, to be fair. - At least Goku was there. Most anime dads just don't exist. - Okay, 'cause there's so many bad anime dads, let's talk about the goat anime dads first. Who are the greatest anime dads of all time? - The greatest anime dads? - I'm trying to think of anime dads and I can't think of any. - Are they good anime dads?

- I'm trying to think who raised their child correctly. - Oh, okay. - It's a niche one, but did you ever watch "Sweetness and Lightning?" - Yes. - That's a goaded anime, dad. - I did not watch that. - Oh fuck, you've just opened up an entire- - Do you remember that one? - Yeah, yeah, I remember that. You've just opened up an entire fucking door for me now. Like fucking everyone with a cute little daughter, like Spy's family. - I guess, yeah. What's his name in Spy Family?

- Lloyd? - Lloyd. - Lloyd, yeah. Lloyd Forger. - Lloyd Forger, that's it. - It's funny that they're like a fake family and then they're more wholesome than most like real anime families. - They're more put together than most families. - The thing I find most unbelievable about Spy Family is that he hasn't hit it yet. That's just like- - That's true. - That makes no sense. - It's not part of the mission. - I know. - It's not part of the mission, Connor. - It's a side mission. - I just want to spin off where it's just like he gets a new mission. It's just like breed.

- Make more children. It's like, oh shit, all right. - We need more children to make it more convincing. Don't adopt. Have a pregnant wife. It looks more realistic. Oh honey, I gotta get you pregnant. It's for the mission. - Dude, "Sweetness and Lightning," I remember the part that I fucking, I mean, or not the part, just like the thing that I absolutely loved about that show. Have you watched "Sweetness and Lightning"? - I have no idea what that is. - Okay, so it came out a few years ago, obviously, 'cause I watched it.

- But it's basically, it's a slice of life, right? Basically. - Yeah. - It's a slice of life show essentially where there's this really cute, like, I think she's like- - All the best dads are in slice of life, to be honest. - Yeah, it's like this five, six year old daughter. The mom is dead. I mean, it's like, it's literally, it's not a spoiler. It's literally the first scene, the mom is dead. And it's basically a dad trying to come to terms with raising

their only daughter. But the daughter is like really, I guess like, even though she's super, super young, she's like, I think she's like four or five years old or something, right?

and obviously they go through the hardships of like, you know, being a single parent and stuff like that and being a single dad. But the daughter is so fucking supportive and wholesome to the dad that every dude who watched that show was just like, I want a daughter like you. You are like the golden child of children that I want to have. And it's so fucking cute. - You've just reminded me of something.

I think the manga or show that started this entire like wholesome dad daughter relationship trends, talking about good dads. What about Usagi Drop? - I never watched Usagi Drop. - I mean, it's good.

- Good is a subjective term. He's a great dad at the beginning. - Can I get a TLDR? - Super degenerate dad near the end. - Okay, so I'm gonna spoil Usagi Drop. - I'm never gonna watch it, go ahead. - It's years old. If you haven't watched Usagi Drop, I doubt you would have watched it. I doubt this is gonna change anything now, but Usagi Drop, the anime, fucking great. You see this wholesome father-daughter relationship where I can't remember the exact concept of it, but I believe the daughter is like,

He adopts this daughter.

And it's the anime is this exploration of him learning how to be a dad and kind of like fathering this adopted daughter and learning feelings and stuff. And then it goes on. - Learning feelings. - Learning some wholesome feelings. - Yeah, that sounds nice. - Really nice. - I'm not gonna watch it, but that sounds nice. - Yeah. - It's really nice. - And then people went on to read the manga, which was, you know, it was very, very wholesome until like kind of like the ending.

because obviously because the manga is way more longer running than the anime went, the daughter grows up and she discovers that she has developed feelings for her adopted father. - Why can't we get anything that's normal? - Basically the creator, I think read Oriyama and went,

- Yeah, let's do that. - So many Monica's just having like a dark arc. They just become fucking weird. - Because the thing is this was a really like unironically like a wholesome innocent show. - It was a really good show.

- It's so wholesome and innocent about this father-daughter relationship. And then the ending comes and you're like, no, please don't. - You have to question the state of the author. You'd be like, what was happening in your head? What was going on with this? This felt like the right storyline. - You know what? Like something like this, I could accept if it was like a hentai or something in general. I can accept that. I've seen worse things in hentai.

- But don't give me like- - Every other fucking other stepmother is like fucking that child- - Stepmother's different. - Oh yeah, stepmother's different. - You wouldn't get it. - But don't give me like 10 volumes of some of the most cute wholesome family coming of age story and then just turn around and be like,

what if we just like made it official? But in a completely different relationship. And everyone was like, 'cause I remember reading the manga as well. 'Cause I watched the anime first and I was like, this is great. But I heard there was a continuation. And so I was like, all right, sick. I bought all the volumes reading it. I'm like, okay, this is great, super cute. And then it literally happens in like the last maybe four or five chapters. And I'm just like,

- Yeah. - Is this like a spin off I read? Like what happened? - 'Cause the worst part is right. 'Cause at first it's just like the daughter like realizing her feelings and you're like, please don't, please don't let this be like the arc and the direction the story is going. I think the moment where I kind of like just threw the manga on the floor was just when, okay, the daughter is fucking young. She don't know what the fuck she's doing. But then like the father accepted as well. I'm like, no!

- No, you're meant to be the mature one here. - The one time you had to be an adult, you were just like, nah. - So it's secretly a big debate for grooming? - Yeah. - It's just one big grooming show. - It's one big grooming manga, unfortunately. - So we've decided to do a telling of the priest story from the side of the priest where he becomes, it's just like, what? Okay, a good dad. Is Aaron Yeager's dad a good dad?

- Do you believe that there are some kids that are just doomed from the beginning where it doesn't matter how good the dad could be where the child is just a spawn of Satan? - Yeah. - Do you believe that that exists? - Yeah.

- Yeah, I'd say so. - Would you say Aaron Yeager falls into that? - Most likely, I'd say. - This is complicated. We can make this entire podcast of was Aaron Yeager right? - Discuss, just have the Fortnite meme. - Aaron Yeager was never wrong. - Okay, fine, also I don't wanna spoil it for people who haven't watched it yet. Another character that I'll pitch to you. Is Kirito's dad a good dad?

- Kirito's dad? - Even though he wasn't there, but is he a good dad for raising Kirito? - Like how so? - It turned out it's Kirito. Is that like, did he do his job or?

- Are you talking about Kirito's dad or Kirito as a dad? - Kirito's dad. Wait, oh yeah, Kirito was a dad too. - Yeah, Kirito is also a dad. - Kirito is a dad who adopted with Yui with fucking Asuna, right? - I blocked that from my memory. - Same thing. - I completely forgot that. - That's 'cause that's the moment where Esau went to shit. That's why. - Very early on. - Yeah, very early on. - Kirito has a dad. Did you know that?

- Did you know that? - Does he actually make an appearance? - Yeah. - Really? - Is he good? - Wait, when? - Huh? - When? - In Alicization. - Oh, okay, that's why. - Because, spoiler alert, I've actually been watching Sword Art Online. - What the fuck? - I've actually, 'cause I actually had this realization the other day that I've watched every piece of like Sword Art Online media that has been released in anime form. - You disgust me.

- I thought you were better than that, go on. - Yeah, it was weird because at the end of Alicization, there's a moment where Kirito has a scene with his mother and father to be like, "I think I know what I want to be and what I want to pursue growing up." And I'm like, "Fuck me, it took 70, like 100 fucking episodes to get to this point. What the fuck? We're actually doing this now?" - What are they, good parents? - So what kind of parents are they?

- They're normal parents. - Oh, yeah, of course they are. - Actually, they were just like, "Can you please decide what the fuck you wanna do with your life?" - That's good. - "I'll just piss your life away with video games. I know you're like an epic gamer, but please choose a career path." And I'm like, "You know what?

- I can actually kind of respect that. - Someone had to say it. Someone had to be like, "Kirito, being a beater is not a viable career option. I'm sorry. That's not a thing." - Actually, there's this one scene at the end of Alicization where his mom's just like, "Next time you go into a fucking game that could kill you, can you tell us first?" Like, this is the third time this has happened. Please just fucking-

- This is just reckless. - What are you doing? Just find a better way to end it. - Do you know how we had to explain to the doctors where we had to carry you into the hospital with a fucking gaming headset on? - Yeah, okay. You get addicted to VR chat once. Okay, I can understand. The third fucking game

- Fucking time it happens, you almost die from this and you don't tell us this shit? Please tell us. - Oh my God. - Actually like- - Comes a VR chat mute when he's 40. - Yeah, on the topic of like Usagi dropping like degenerate dads and stuff like that. I remember like recently there was an anime that was just the opposite of that, I think. - Okay. - I think the anime was called like "Hikahiro"

And I really, really hope that the manga hasn't gone some sussy route, right? - Well, I mean, it's originally a light novel, so it's probably gonna go down a sussy route. - Because the thing that I liked about that was it's a show where a guy basically picks up this runaway middle school, high school girl and- - Literally the start to every ending. - Yeah, yeah. And you watch the first episode and you're like,

This is very, very sus. I've seen enough Hentai Shinoa this is going.

And then it turns out every time like the girl tries to be even remotely sexual, he's just like, get away from me child. I do not, I am not interested in children. And I'm just like, man, is this the standard we have in anime where someone saying- - Like that's commendable? - Yeah, yeah. Someone saying no child, get away from me. I do not find you interesting. That's like commendable now in anime. Now I was just like, damn, this is a really,

- This is a really original route that this anime has gone down. - I mean, to be fair, it kind of is. And then that's kind of the sad thing, right? It's like, if you see an otaku resist that urge, it's just like, "Oh wow, all right, he gets bitches." "Oh, all right, he's different." - You mean he's picking up this runaway high school girl just to help her? Just to be like-

- That doesn't exist. - Just to be a good Samaritan, what? - And then the girl is like, "Why are you gay?" - I'm trying to think of a good dad. Is Subaru's dad from Re:Zero a good dad? I think he's pretty good, right? - He's not in the show. - Yeah, he has a motivational moment with him. He's like, "Go on kid, don't suck."

- That was like in his mind though, wasn't it? - Maybe it wasn't his mind, but does that count as a dad? If it's a dad- - It's like an imaginary dad. - What if the imaginary dad has more impact on your life than the real dad?

- Okay. - That's true. - Who are the worst dads in anime? - Oh, that's fucking go man. - Shinji? - Shinji's dad? - Shinji's dad, Gendo, that's the go-to one. - That's like the go-to. - I aspire to be a dad that bad. - What about the... - Just confidently that bad. Like I just hate my kid that much. Like that's almost impressive that he committed that hard to it.

- He was only one step away from looking at Shinji and being like, "Who?" - I would say he committed so much to being a bad dad that he was always around, which is more than some other bad dads, right? Which I think is, it's kind of gaslighting Shinji, right? It's like, "No, I'm here for you, but get in the robot, please." - I mean, the other stereotypical bad dad is Nina's dad from "Full Metal Alchemist," obviously. - I know what you're talking about.

- I'm trying to think of some devil's advocate where I could argue he's a good dad. - I would love to hear this case. - Hold on, hold on, I can think of something. - I would love to hear this. - This is where the AI would be great to help me out here. - Okay, okay, so. - Why isn't he actually a good dad? - Let me break it down for you, okay? Let me break it down for you. Is there anything more pure in life than a dog? - He wanted her to be a good boy forever. - Yeah.

How do you keep your children pure and innocent forever? Okay. You cross them with a dog. Okay. That's I have not seen Full Metal Alchemist but I'm guessing that was his motivation. And you know what? I kind of dig with it, man. - You know what? Daughters overrated. Dogs though, that shit sticks with you. - Look, I bet that daughter would have grown up to be a fucking turd, man. Okay. Every daughter reaches that age.

in that teenage hood, you know, when they're just like, "Dad, I don't care about you anymore. You're stinky, get the fuck out of my face." He didn't want that, you know? - He was just like, "Oh, you're about to hit puberty? Not on my watch!" - I asked it to, "Why is Nina's dad from 'Full Metal Alchemist' right?" And he goes, "The series does not depict any character of the perspective of right or wrong."

- Actions have consequences and they make mistakes as well. The story doesn't shy away from showing characters flaws. - I mean. - That's an interesting defense. - That's an interesting defense. - Listen, yeah, like I'm with Garnt in this camp. He just wanted to make a good boy. - Yeah, fair enough. - And was the dog a little sad? Yeah, but dogs could be sad. We just don't hear them say it. - It's a work in progress. - I think, imagine if he actually perfects it though and the dog is happy when it happens.

then I think science is- - Yeah, exactly. Maybe he's the victim. - A few uncomfortable questions. - Wait, okay, wait. - Maybe he's the victim. Maybe he was like, "I just wanted to make a good boy and then I fucked up and it ended up being a sad dog." - He was a scientist helping us. - This was his first attempt at it. And every scientific breakthrough has a few failures every now and again. Are we gonna say no to human experimentation just because a few people get violently murdered?

- I don't know, I don't know. - He's just like, all right, I gotta order up another daughter. - He's like, wife, I need another daughter to experiment on. - We need another one, this experiment went wrong. Don't ask. - I'm realizing now the lack of dads in anime. There's not a lot.

- There's not a lot of good dads. Mecha definitely does not have a good track record for amazing dads. - There's so many dads that just aren't around. - I mean, just think of like- - I mean, like think about it perspective wise though, right? - Just think of Koki ass, right? It's just like, what? Every Mecha dad just wants to fucking take over the world or be a shitty dad. - Well, think about it even in like, you know, in the defense of like Gendo, for instance. Like he was a good dad to Ray.

- He was a shit dad to Shinji though. - I would argue he was a good husband to Ray. - Oh yeah, that's it. Yeah, dad slash husband. - It's a son you drop all over again.

- It all goes back to Saki drop. - I can't think of any other dads. I'm just straight up trying to think of dads. - I'm looking around. - Okay, if we're not talking about- - There's so many moms, but no dads. - If we're not talking about anime specifically, or like, I guess things that came from and to anime, like say if like Pokemon, right? The Pokemon series. You never see Ash's dad. - I got one. What about Rudeus' dad from "Mishouka Tensei"?

- When he gets reincarnated? - Yeah, yeah, the one where he gets reincarnated. - Yeah, he's kind of the guy. I like him. He's got a flaw. Little playboy. - Yeah, he's a little playboy, he is. - Yeah. - I like it.

- I think he's a good dad. I think he's one of the most human dads I've seen. - He's a bit of a scumbag, but he also is a good dad. So it makes him a lot more believable as a character. - He like tries to be a good dad. Like I think the scene that got me in "Mishouka Tensei" was the scene where Rudeus like hugs him to be like, I wasn't the perfect dad. And he's just like, I forgive you. I was like, oh fuck man. I wish I could tell my dad that sometimes. Okay. - Okay, question. - Ask a lad.

Well, technically not his son, but basically the dad. - Yeah, yeah. - He's basically the villain's son. - It's like the stepdad. - Yeah, he's the best stepdad. - The best case scenario for a stepdad. - He kills your real dad and then becomes the goat dad. Like obviously killing the real dad is bad,

- But if he becomes an even better dad, I think there's a question to be- - But he went into it with an alpha mentality. He was like, "I'm gonna kill your real dad because I'm more confident I can be a better dad than your real dad." - That's why he's the ugly but good dad. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Okay, question. - And he's Welsh. - And he's Welsh. - So, you know, he's the best Welsh dad we've had yet. - Okay, question.

- Out of all the Welsh dads in anime, he's the GOAT. He is absolutely the GOAT. - Okay, question. - Yes. - Is Minato a good dad to Naruto? - Is Naruto a good dad? - Is Naruto a good dad as well? Double question. - Naruto-

- Neither Naruto or Sasuke are good dads. Fucking like- - Obviously Sasuke isn't. Sasuke never wanted to have kids anyway. - Sasuke went out to get milk and never came back. He was that dad, man. I feel so sorry for, what was her name? Like Salada or whatever. - Salada, yeah, Salad.

- You know you're a bad dad 'cause he named your daughter fucking Sour. - Sasuke's the kind of dude who felt like he would try and explain to you for 10 minutes why he took the condom off right before he put it in. You know what I mean? Like he would have a full on conversation trying to justify it to you. That's the vibe he gives off.

- Yeah, the only part of "Barrota" I've seen is for like the new "Narrator" movie. So I'm not like up to date about "Barrota". So I don't know how good of a dad "Narrator" is now, but my fucking God, he needs to learn how to discipline his kid, man. Fuck me, man. - He's out of fucking control.

- He is man, Boruto's a dick. It's so weird because like, see, I forget that Boruto's not even an only child, but everyone forgets that he has a sister because her sister's so well behaved, right? And Naruto's definitely that dad that was just like, I was a fucking dickhead when I was a kid. So you know what kid, you can be a dickhead too. And I'm like, no Naruto.

- Don't do that. - It's like my dad wasn't there during my childhood. I won't be yours either. I'm learning by example. - You'd think from not having, like not growing up with parents that Naruto would want to like offset that and be a really good fucking parent and be there for his kid. He doesn't learn from that. You'd think he would know that. - I guess anime normally has father figures as opposed to fathers straight up. I don't know, I guess.

- I guess. - Choose your own dad. - I guess that's it. Yeah, and that was the anime dads, the good, the bad and the ugly. - This is literally- - Maybe Joey can pick one. Okay, you pick the next one. - Oh, sorry. Go for it. - Go for it. - To tangent next to the, what? Sorry, guys, that makes me think about food that sounds disgusting, but actually delicious.

Don wrote this down, but it says food that sounds disgusting, but actually delicious.

- See, there's two ways we can go about that. - Beans on toast. - The name sounds disgusting, but it's actually good. Or the concept sounds disgusting. - I think it should be the concept that sounds disgusting. If you say fucking shirako, I'm leaving Joey. That sounds disgusting and it is disgusting. - And it is disgusting. - Natto sounds disgusting and it is disgusting. - No, that's delicious as well. I will not take shirako and natto slander from you two non-Japanese people.

- There's a lot of Japanese foods that are like that. - I'm just thinking most Japanese food. - Okay, one for me that I actually saw by real life example was when I first brought a couple of my Australian high school friends to Japan, and they were the kind of super Western friends who never tried proper Japanese food or any kind of Asian food, and I took them to eat sukiyaki. And they thought the concept of the raw egg

- Yeah, it is a hard sell. - Yeah. - So sukiyaki is like a meaty broth where you cook all the veg, like a hot pot. So you cook all the veg and the meat in this hot pot, but what makes it unique is that you have a raw egg on the side that you whisk kind of to make it all-

like consistent, and you dunk everything in this broth in the raw egg, then eat it. It's really good, but it sounds kind of gross. - You don't cook the egg before, you cook the meat and then dunk the cooked meat in the raw egg. - Yeah, so basically the meat and the vegetables are like kind of- - It sounds gross. - Yeah, it's been simmering in this like soy sauce based broth and now there's just like a whole bunch of raw egg over it. It sounds gross.

if you've never had it. But when you have it, you realize it's one of the best types of hot pots you can have in Japan. - It is delicious. I don't know, the yolk, it just, it's a natural source, right?

- And what, what are you gonna say? - Yeah, sorry, I just had a bad thought, go on. - What was your bad thought? - No, no, no, you go first. - I was just gonna say the yolk just makes such a delicious natural sauce that we just have never had before. - Yeah, but when I think about it, it's like, okay, I think to a lot of people conceptually, that's quite gross. - Yeah. - Even though it's pretty delicious. - So I propose the toast sandwich

- Okay. - It doesn't sound gross. - It's just nothing. - It's just bland. - It's pretty good. - That's like saying, get the fuck out of here. - Get the fuck out of here.

- Get out of here Connor. What are you talking about? - That is the whitest thing you've said on this podcast. - I thought it sounded dumb as fuck and I had it and I thought it's not that bad. It's pretty good. - Okay, so explain. So it's basically, is it a sandwich that has toast in it? - Yeah, so it's two pieces of bread. - Non-cooked bread. - Yeah, non-toasted. - Non-toasted bread. - Non-toasted bread. And then you have a toasted bread in the middle that you normally season with salt and pepper. And then you put it just like in the middle and you eat it. It's pretty good.

- And you can put butter on it if you want to. It's pretty good. It sounds gross, but it's pretty good. - I would rather just have fucking toast. - Yeah. - Why am I filling- - It's a delicacy. It's a delicacy. - Why am I filling myself up with two extra slices of non toasted bread when I could also toast those? - It's different. It's good.

- We should try it. We should all try it. - What compelled you to make this thing? - Because I'd seen it so many times and I thought, well, fuck it, I'll just try it. Like I just, before I make my opinions on it, yes, it sounds fucking stupid. - I did, to be fair, when we were in the UK last year, I did go to like a bakery and I did see it on their menu and I was really tempted. - You saw it on the menu? I've never seen it on the menu. - I've seen it on the menu. - Oh, fuck. - And it was like- - I've never seen it on the menu in the UK. - I saw it on the menu and I was like, that can't be right.

- I'm misreading this. - British cuisine, let's put bread between all this. - I know people are gonna use this to slant my taste buds, but hey, it's not bad. You gotta try it before you deny it. - Connor, why didn't you say, I didn't love bread enough as it is, Connor. Why didn't you tell me? - Salt?

Bread, carbs and just black pepper is just all I need. Like that's good enough for me. I'm like a, you know how like dogs, when you give them dog treats every single day, you give them the exact same fucking thing. How do they get so excited every time? That's what I want for my food. - Well, that's also because their brains are smaller.

- Is that why? - Yes. - If they had bigger brains, they'd be like, "Really, dog treats again?" - Yeah, so they're just less incapable of being like, "Actually, I've had this for 200 days straight, master. "I require some other type of sustenance." They don't have that knowledge. - Maybe they do, though. Maybe they just like it a lot. - I'm slandering the bread sandwich, but you know what? - Toast sandwich, excuse me. - Toast sandwich. Crisp sandwich?

- I actually get behind that. - I like crisp sandwiches. - I like crisp sandwiches. - Crisp sandwiches, I don't know. - Does it sound disgusting though? Is that? - It's just like socially looked down upon. And I don't know why. - It's seen as a peasant food. - It's seen as a peasant food and I don't know why. It should be seen as a delicacy. Fuck if, yeah. - Dan securing his British citizenship for life. They're never, they're never, they'd never be in question.

- Why are kids on a playground getting bullied for bringing a crisp sandwich to school? Let's not pretend that it's not like the best meal we could have as a kid. It's the meal that you wanted as a kid, but you couldn't tell your parents that you wanted it. - It's not the most gourmet shit, but goddamn is a cost efficient. - Are you like chip sandwiches? - Yes, I love chip sandwiches. - I've never had a chip sandwich. - Like fries. - Yeah, like hot chip sandwiches. I love those. - It's pretty good.

- Possibly, possibly. - Pretty good. - That was my diet in high school. - With some ketchup on it, maybe some mayo or something too. - Dude, for us in Australia, we put some chicken salt on that bitch. - Okay, another thing that definitely sounds disgusting and isn't that bad, I'd say is, well, maybe not delicious, you'd probably agree. I think you'd say horses.

- Oh, horse meat? - Horse sounds disgusting. - Yeah. - But I think it sounds disgusting. - I don't think it's that it sounds disgusting. I think it sounds, it's just morally wrong to a lot of people, right? It's like eating like cat or dog, right? It's like, it's not about like the concept, it's like the moral. - I wouldn't say it's on that level, but an animal that we have, let's say domesticated and have put to use. - But we've domesticated horses.

- No, no, exactly. But like horses haven't been domesticated on as wide of a like level as, it's not as widespread as people owning cats and dogs. - It used to be pretty widespread. - Oh, it used to be widespread. I have no doubt. - I don't think they, did they eat it back then? I have no idea. I'm not smart enough to know. - Maybe in Japan they did. - Probably, but in Japan they always didn't eat it. - Yeah, Japan is like, doesn't move, we can eat it. - I had a, does this seal sound disgusting?

- Seal? - I had seal in a can. - That just sounds wrong. - Oh, I think I have as well. It's just the very blubbery, right? And like very fatty. It's like a bear meat as well. - It wasn't very good. - Yeah. - Like does bear meat sound disgusting? - Yeah. - That's because it is. - That does sound disgusting. - Any like apex predator, I just feel is just doesn't taste, just shouldn't taste good. - Like crocodile? - Crocodile, I've never had crocodile before. - I've had crocodile, it's like tough chicken.

- Tough chicken. - It is, it's like tough chicken. If you close your eyes and eat it- - Frogs, does that sound disgusting? - Yes, and I think they are disgusting. - Frogs are fucking delicious, man. - I actually quite like frogs. - Holy shit, frog legs? - I can't. - Actually? - They're just like baby chicken legs. - Yeah, baby chicken legs. - I can't eat it without picturing that frog dancing. The one with the top hat.

- Hello my baby, hello. - Wait, when have you had frogs? - I had it when I was in France. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, it's fine. - I did too and it came on a plane and I was like, oh shit, it's that boy. - I just imagined it happy singing and dancing like 20 minutes ago, I don't know why.

- What's wrong with my brain? - Frogs no, but horses, yeah, I'll fucking eat that shit. - Frogs too cute. - I'm not a horse person, so I don't care about horses. - Are you a frog person? - I kinda like frogs. Frogs are cute as fuck. - Frogs are cute. - Okay, what about escargot? - I was going to say, now that we're on that, escargot- - Not a fan. - You don't like escargot? - I'm not a fan. - I quite like it. - Why does Garnt look so stunned by me saying that?

- I wasn't stunned. I was like, why am I not surprised that Joey's like, "Yeah, fuck." - It's delicious. It's great. - Joey likes everything weird. - Depends on my mood. Depends on my mood. 'Cause sometimes,

we don't want to admit it, but our mental image of something can affect the taste. - If you associate a food or drink with a bad time or a bad experience, it also is worse as well. - Yeah, exactly. Like I've had escargot and I'm fine with the taste. I'm never going to like go out and look for it.

- But I'm not like opposed to it, but when I know it's escargot, I know that there's this part of my brain that is just like, you're eating a fucking slimy ass snail. - Isn't it weird? Okay, in that vein, isn't it also weird that we're totally okay with eating snails, but we're not okay with eating slugs?

- Well, I mean, okay. - I've always thought about that. - I'm not okay with either of them, okay? - Yeah, I'm not okay with that. - Why did you assume we are okay with eating slugs? - Well, no, no, no, as in like we're okay with eating snails, but we're not okay with eating slugs just like as a society. - I always found the snails- - The slug society. - Again, snails were the more refined slugs. - Are they though? - I always thought they were the classier slugs. - They're just the slugs that live in caravans, right?

- Yeah, it's like the broke snail is the slug. Like snails are like snails. - Look, slugs are just like snails that have gone through like the homeless crisis. They ain't rich enough to buy a home. They're obviously- - This market is very volatile. - They're the ones that got hit hard by the global financial crisis. - I had one. Fuck, I had it and I forgot it. It was...

- What? - Fuck, I forgot it. - Okay, what kind of things? Is there any animal body part to you that sounds disgusting? - Testicles. - Testicles. - Yeah, I've had like bull's testicles before.

Conceptually I was like, all right, I'm eating nuts. That's whatever. But I'm very much in the mindset of like, whatever it might be conceptually, as long as it tastes good, then I'm okay with it for the most part. - For me, I'd actually, 'cause I think I'd actually rather eat a testicle than eat- - Should have been out of context.

- I'd rather eat a testicle. - Like conceptually, right? - Yeah. - I know something about eating like a blood vessel or- - A blood vessel, so like blood sausage? - Like a vein or something like that. - Oh, a vein. - 'Cause I've seen that before. - You can eat veins? - Yeah, it's like a vein or an artery or something. - Right.

- I've seen that before and I'm just like- - How do they get it out intact? - What do you mean? - Usually it's like quite, they're quite small, right? So do they just pull the arteries out? - Well, some of the main big arteries- - Oh, I see, I see. - Are like pretty, pretty fucking fat. And something about that just freaks me the fuck out. And I'm like, I can't- - Like eating blood, yeah. - Okay, something that sounds conceptually disgusting. - Yeah. - Fish eggs.

- Fish eggs look and sound disgusting before you've had them and then you try it, you're like, "Oh, they're quite refreshing." - Sure, yeah. - If you'd never had fish eggs, and you don't have a culture of eating them, and someone had said, "Hey, do you wanna eat fish eggs?" My parents were like, I told them that and they were like,

- Is that like caviar? I'm like, yeah, it's caviar but different. - Well caviar is fish eggs. - Yeah, well it's like as in like the normal common fish eggs that you eat. - Fish eggs are fucking delicious, man. I remember it was somewhat like, 'cause whenever like in Thailand, whenever there's like,

if you fry the fish, sometimes the fish eggs, sometimes they don't remove the fish eggs from the fish. - Oh, that would freak me out. - Yeah, so you open it up and- - And it's just like packed full of fish. - That would freak me out. - Huh? - No, it's good, it's delicious. - And it's one of the most delicious parts of the fish, I think, 'cause it's fried, it absorbs all of the sauces that you fry it in. - I like them both separate now, I'm realizing. I like them where I don't see the eggs from the fish. I like that I just see the eggs.

- But that's weird though, right? - Again, that's something weird going on in my brain. - Because conceptually it's no different, right? It's just separated. - Yeah, yeah. - That's like being like, oh, I like sausages and I like mashed potatoes, but I don't like bangers and mash. It's the equivalent to that.

- I think it's just seeing, you know, sometimes everyone always says like how the sausage is made. It's like, I see how the sausage is made and I don't mind that. I'm like, that's fine. When I see where the eggs come from, I'm like, oh, that's weird. Like when I see those videos where they open up the sturgeon to get the caviar and they just fucking rip this thing's stomach open like a "Doom" video and then grab all these hundreds of thousands of eggs, I'm like, oh.

- Yeah, it's pretty gnarly. - You're just watching a C-section, man. - Yeah, yeah. - That's basically what you're watching. - When it comes in the tin, I don't question it. And I'm like, that's nice. That's cool. - It's all about packaging. - But when it comes directly, they've ripped it out. I'm like, whoa.

- That's a lot. - Yeah. - I think caviar is like overrated anyway. - I don't like caviar. I had it one time and I was like, this is shit. - It's pretty overrated. - It's the same as any other ingredient. You can't just slap it onto anything and just hope they taste good because it's like- - People just fucking add it to the menu to make it more expensive. - Yeah, I know. - I don't think anyone actually cares about the flavor. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's just salt.

- It is. - It's just a little salt and it's a little bit of salt and a little bit of like sea and like fishy. - Sea. - Sea salt. - Sea water flavor. - Sea water flavor. - Sea salt. - Yeah. It's just very, yeah, that's it. It's just very expensive sea water. Let's be honest, all right? That's what it is. - Oh my God. - That can taste good, but definitely not worth the price.

that you pay. - I was a weird kid. I think I remember I liked the taste of the sea salt, like the sea. Like I think I got it on me and I licked like my, I had like a wristband on or something. I licked it. I don't know why. I don't know why I'm licking everything. Like I licked it. I was like, damn, this shit tastes good. - I know it does taste good. - It's just salt. - I'm like, shit, why does the color taste so good in the ocean? - Have you never gone like swimming in the ocean and then you come out and then it dries out and then your skin's like all like flaky 'cause of the salt and you're like,

- Oh, that tastes good. - Or like when you accidentally get it in your mouth and you're like, I'm not gonna tell anyone this, but it tastes really fucking good. - That tastes good. - 'Cause there's no other undoubtedly amount of sewage in this and I'm not gonna say that I like that taste. - 'Cause like I remember when I was a kid in Thailand, we had like, we owned like a bunch of dogs at our house and my grandma did. Every time we'd go to our trip to the seaside, we'd come back and the dogs were just like fucking, we'd pet them and we'd pet the dogs and the dogs would like lick the fuck out of my hand

And I'm just like, oh yeah, I know what they're looking at. God, I wish I was that dog. - Yeah, I know I'm tasty. - Speaking of, I just thought of a tangent. - Oh yeah? - What about the etiquette and taboos of pooping in different cultures? - Howie, what did you put into this AI to get these problems? - I just, I put in, give me talking points about a podcast.

that talks about Japan, anime, pooping and everything else and food. - Here's the pooping one. - So the etiquette in Japan, you have to take your shoes off in some places. Like you have to wear a different pair of shoes to go to the toilet. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like the slippers, right? - You'll be in a restaurant where you've taken off your shoes and to go into the toilet, you have to wear another pair of slippers. The communal toilet slippers. - Yeah. - Do you ever use the communal toilet slippers in Japan? - Hell no. Hell no.

- I do, but it's kind of nasty when you think about it. - It is. - I'd rather just take my risks and touch the floor. - Yeah, because think about the amount of, first of all, not clean socks and potentially just feet that have been there. And then second of all, in the case with guys, think of the amount of piss that just fucking flings out and lands on the slippers. And I don't know how often they're cleaning these slippers. I assume not very often in some places.

- But there have been like, it's a tie up for me. Normally I don't use it, but there's sometimes I walk in a toilet and I see like a small little wet patch somewhere

And I'm like, I ain't taking the chance, man. I ain't taking the chance. - Yeah, yeah. That's the only time I would wear it. But if like the toilet looks clean and there's like no noticeable puddles or anything, then I'm just going in with my socks. - Is there a culture in Japan? 'Cause I don't know, and I'm asking, against like, 'cause in the UK and I think the US as well, there's kind of, I think it's mainly the UK, people really don't want to shit in public.

- Is that culture? - I don't know if it's culture. - I think it's an individual thing. - I know a lot of people who really will do anything to not shit in public. - I am that person. - Okay. - I am that person. - Are you calling me out Connor? - You're saying like, I know you probably know a lot of people who are like the same, right? Is it the same in Australia as well or is it?

- Yes, only because unlike Japan, the public toilets is disgusting. - They're a bit more disgusting, but I'm also a lot more forgiving when I do shit. 'Cause I'm kind of the mindset of, I'm in the mess. - Okay, there's- - I'm part of the mess. - There's a lot of reasons why I wanna shit right in the comfort of my home. - No, don't get me wrong.

- I never want to shit in a public toilet more than mine. - Yeah, of course. - But when nature calls. - When you have to go, you have to go. - Let's take like, let's say hygiene out of it. Let's assume you live in Japan, a country where the public toilets are clean as fuck. - Sometimes. - Sometimes. - Sometimes you can get unlucky. - I've seen some gnarly toilets here. - I don't know, like Japan's track record for public toilets compared to every other country I've been to is really fucking good, I'll say that.

So taking that aspect out of it, there's one, there's just, you know, sometimes there's just something comforting about shitting in a place that's your own home. Okay? Because- - No, I agree. - Okay, do you feel uncomfortable shitting in your mate's place? - No.

- In fact, I try and do it every time I go to my mates house. - What the fuck? - Okay. - What's wrong with you? - That's the last time I invite you on my house Joey. I want to mark my territory. - I think I got, I don't like it. I think you had this one time in your house, Garnt, I don't know if you still do. - Yeah. - You had the fur thing on your toilet.

- Oh yeah, yeah. - That freaks me out. - Oh yeah. - 'Cause it's like the last thing I want- - The carpet on the lane. - The last thing I want to picture is carpet and shit. Like I want it to be like porcelain so that if I shit everywhere, it's super easy to wipe. Not that I'm a shithead, but just the thought of,

rubbing my ass cheeks against a carpet while I'm gonna shit. I'm like, oh, oh. - Yeah, that's a little strange even for me. - I don't think yours was on top. I don't think it was the, 'cause in Japan they have, you can get the carpet on top of the toilet. - Yeah, I have the carpet on top of the lid. - Yeah, that's pretty normal. But then some people, some monsters have the carpet on the like actual part you sit on when you shit. - Yeah. - And that's where I'm like, whoa. - Yeah, it's a bit weird.

- I think I'm- - I had to just follow my wife on that one. I woke up one day and I'm just like, why would you do this? - What is this? - What is this? - I had to just get used to it because like my grandma had it my whole life. So I'm just kind of used to it now, but in saying that, I don't like it. - I like that we have certain rules in society that we don't change certain things. And the design of the toilet has gone unchanged

for generations and I don't think we should start rethinking it. I think the toilet is a banger. Let's just stick with it. It's like, this is why I hate it when dudes wear like, when it's an informal event and everyone's wearing a tuxedo and a guy wears something other than the tuxedo. It's like, okay, what are you trying to do here?

You're trying to fuck with the norm. Everyone has a social contract. We know the tuxedo is the go-to. We all know that we can just whip out the tuxedo and we're taken care of. It's fine. Don't start changing the norm. Don't change the toilet. - Okay, here's a question then. If you're out in public, right? - Yeah. - And this applies mostly to people who are comfortable with shitting in public, aka Connor.

But say you're in a situation and I'm sure you've been in a situation like this 'cause I certainly have. You have to take a shit, like you can't hold it in, right? But that's fine, you're okay with public, shitting in public, right? You walk in and there are only the Japanese style toilets. Do you take a shit? - If I gotta go, I gotta go. I've never done it though. I've never shat in a Japanese style toilet, which is, you just squat over a hole. - Yeah, the squat toilets.

- I've avoided it. - Yeah. - That's far. - Have you ever shat in a Japanese style toilet before? - Oh, I mean, yeah. We have those all the time in Thailand. - Right. - It's basically at every gas station. It's awful. - How do you avoid splash back? - In what? - In the standing toilets. 'Cause you're dropping it. Like that's gaining some Gs, that shit. - You ain't dropping it that far, mate. - What are you standing up? What are you doing? - Like how far are we doing it like that?

- No, no, the real question is at what velocity does the shit leave your ass? So much so that it splashes. - Bro, if I'm dying and I'm using one of those toys, it's probably a pretty vicious force that's coming out. So how low are we getting when we're shitting? Are we like- - We're getting very low. - Are we full like, knees are like fully bent like this? - Yeah, knees are fully bent. - Oh, I always imagined it was like 90 degrees. - Wait, in a Japanese toilet? - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, no, you're like fully squatting. - Oh, I thought it was like a 90 degree kind of knee situation.

- I can just imagine Connor seeing the squat toilet and he's like, all right. Just like dropping it for like two feet. - I've never tried and I don't dare try. - Connor just like takes his trousers off and just stands on top of the toilet. Just like hands, hands. - Oh no, no, no, no, no. You're like fully Asian squatting. - Literally like this.

- Yeah, you're on Asian squatting. - That's why Asian squat exists, so they can shit correctly, man. - How do these 90 year old men do that? Like how do they get back up? Do people just get stuck? - No, because they probably have to do it every day. - No, I've seen some old people in Japan who can,

- Barely like walk around. - Oh, they probably own Western toilets in that case. - Damn straight they do. - Yeah, I think that's why every Asian is like pre-programmed in their gene to be able to Asian squat. Just in case they need to shit in a public toilet. - Okay, here's another question when it comes to etiquette. Again, this doesn't apply to you. It applies to you though. When you shit in a public toilet, Western one, do you use the bidet? - Yes.

- Okay, 'cause I know a lot of people who don't. - Okay, so- - Because it's like, why would I share a bidet with some rando? - Oh, I'm fine with sharing a bidet, that's dumb. - Because the way the bidet comes out, right? It comes out like this angle, right? And the bidet,

shoots the water that way. - Yeah. - So there's no way it could get dirty. And even if it did, it's like, well, it's no more dirty than putting your ass cheeks on the toilet anyway. - That's exactly. - And you're already washing it with water. So let's say even if there was a tiny bit of dirt left on the bidet somehow, it would get blown away anyway from all the ass washing you're doing. - Right. - I feel like that's like a weird,

- It is, but I know a few people who have that mindset and I've told them that exact same thing. They're like, no, it's still like- - If you're willing to put your cheeks on the same seat that like 1000 plus other people have put their cheeks on. And some people have probably gotten it dirty as well. Like I feel like you have no like- - I think you're fine. - At that point it's like whatever.

- At that point you use the Japanese style toilet. There's no lid to sit on. - Bring your own, bring your own bidet. - Do you know one of like the scariest sites to see in like a public toilet in my mind? Like, so you need a shit, right? Someone just goes out of the toilet stall

you go in and you see that they put like the toilet lid down and you're like, oh fuck. - You have to touch it. - Oh, he's just dropped a fat one. Do you know what I mean? Because every time that happens, because you never like, when you go into a public toilet, like do you put the toilet seat down afterwards? - No. - As in like after you take a shit? - No, no.

- I only do that when I know I've dropped a fucking stinker. Like a fucking nuclear bomb. So every time I walk in a toilet store and I see the toilet seat is like fully down, I'm like, someone's just fucking destroyed this toilet. And I don't know if I'm emotionally prepared. - For me, I'm more scared of, even though I just heard the flush, I walk in and I see the lid is closed, somewhere deep in my mind I'm like, if I open this, I'm gonna see that guy's turd.

He's left me a nasty fucking surprise that I'm not ready to open this. I'm not ready to open this Pandora's box, but I need to. - It's the smell, 'cause I know as soon as I open it, it's just like, I know I'm gonna fucking smell it. - It's gonna be a bomb. - It's gonna be a bomb. I know I'm gonna be hit with that wave of smell and I'm like,

"Oh God, why can't I have just waited like 10 more minutes for the smell to dissipate?" But yeah, that's nasty. - Do you use that weird like toilet seat outline sheet you can get at some toilets?

- Sometimes I do. - Occasionally if it's a really nasty looking toilet, I'll try, but I get so frustrated 'cause it never stays on the fucking seat. You know what I'm talking about? You can get these like kind of toilet paper style things that kind of go around the whole toilet and then you poke out the middle. - It's like a serviette for a toilet seat. - It's really weird and it's so,

fidgety and it never stays in place. And I have to like quickly put it down and get my ass on it so it stays. I hate that thing so much. - Because it's so thin, so the lightest breeze just fucking switches it around. - The pressure from your ass approaching will blow it away. And so I normally don't use it. - Sometimes a little extra protection doesn't hurt. - In Japan they love the, they have this thing as well, it's pretty common.

where you can clean the toilet seat if you want to. - Oh, with the wet wipes, right? - There's like another spray. It's not for your hands. It's like for, you can put some of the toilet roll and then wipe it. - Yeah, yeah. - They do that occasionally. - Yeah. - Depends how spicy I'm feeling. If it's a long one, I'm like, all right, I'm just getting settled in. Let's do it. - Okay, here's the question. Here's the question. What you do, you're desperate for the toilet, go in a public toilet, you walk in,

- No toilet paper. And you realize too late. - I've never had that issue. - You've never had that issue? - I've had that issue. - I've never had that issue. - Or like, it's either like there's no toilet paper or of course I have. That's why I hate going into public toilets. - Well, that's why I always check before I go in. - Sometimes you just forget 'cause you're just too fucking desperate.

- That first one comes out, it's a fat one. You look over, you're like, oh no, Defcon five. It's emergency meeting time guys. - Hopefully you're with a friend and they can get help. That's like the play, right? - Yeah. - If you're not, you're fucked. - Or see, 'cause I've learned from that. And so now in whatever bag I have while I'm out, I always have like pocket tissues just in case. 'Cause you never know. - I think I have had this. I think I'd just like had a really dirty ass and walk to the next toilet.

'Cause you had no other choice. Like what can you do? - Yeah, I mean- - Like if you're alone, what can you do? - It's like when you're at home as well though, right? And you realize that there's no toilet paper on the toilet roll. You look to where you usually have all your toilet paper. There's none there either, right? So what do you do in that situation at home? - Go in the shower. - Yeah, you shower. - Yeah, I just like shower that shit away. - Shower straight. - Yeah.

- Just the good old fucking shower strap. - All right, what's the next tangent? - The next tangent is the funniest and most bizarre Japanese advertisements. - I'm surprised we've never talked about this. - I saw one the other day and I don't know what it was promoting, but it was like a cow that was styled like Josuke from JoJo. We had like the pompadour, he's like a delinquent and then the cow,

walks up to these two delinquents on the train and is like, "Leave those old people alone." And then the old people take a seat and then it cuts to the product. I don't know what they were promoting and what the message was. - That definitely sounds like a Japanese ad. - I have no idea. And then I think it was like some kind of milk-based

instant soup. It was something weird. - Right, right. - There's a lot of weird Japanese ads. - Yeah. I mean, like, you know, I think what's funny is that like, you know, in the West there's that like whole stereotype of like, oh, Japanese ads are some of like the most wackiest, they don't make any fucking sense type of ads. And yeah, there's certainly a lot of them, but like, I think a lot of people have this weird image that that's the majority of ads in Japan. Whereas-

- There are some normal ads in Japan. - Well, it was really boring. They love chimes still. - They love chimes, yeah, they love jingles. - Like jingles, they push jingles so hard. - One ad that I recently saw that I thought was really funny was, you know, obviously 'cause like Chainsaw Man is still massive in Japan. I saw this huge like banner advertisement in one of the train stations and it was just like 95% of this banner was just Makima's face.

- I've seen this one. - And I was like, what the fuck is this? And I read it and it's an ad for a recruitment company.

and basically said, "I want you to be mine." But it was written in like Markimus style of like speech and it's like, "I want you to be mine." Come to this recruitment company. I'm like, that is so gigabrain. - I hate how effective I know the ad is. Just by putting fucking Markimus face and being like, "You can work under for me." - Yeah, you can be mine. - You can be mine. I'm like, fuck.

Can I have my own Maki-ma in my life, man? So sometimes they're like Giga Brain. Other times it's just like, you know, I think a lot of the Wins ones that I've seen where it's just like, that's kind of unnecessary is that they take like a celebrity or a comedian or whatever. They put them into like a weird fucking like bodysuit. - Yeah, they have a lot of weird surrealist type of commercials where it's like, what the fuck is happening? - Yeah, like there's this commercial that's been playing all the time. Like every taxi I've gone through recently where it's,

these people on stage dancing or something like that. And it's like this absurdist nightmare where they slowly turn into puppets or something like that. And then like one person turns into a puppet, but everyone keeps on dancing. And then slowly the entire crew is just like a fucking, is, is,

is a plastic puppet or something like that. And I'm like, this is the stuff of nightmares actually. What are you trying to promote here? I'm so confused. - Taxi ads are like some of my favorite because it's like, they're clearly trying to like make it interesting and like kind of visually appealing and like visually like fun, happy times, yay. But all of the ads are just like join up with this cloud management system for your company. - They have that one ad that runs in every single taxi and it's the translation.

- Oh yeah. - And then there's always like these quizzes in the taxi that's like, it'll say, yeah. It'll be like a Japanese phrase and it'll be like, what's the answer in English? And be like, it's very nice to meet you. It's lovely to meet you. And it's like, and I'm like pressing it like. - I know this one. - I saw this ad the other day in a taxi that was just, it was promoting this mattress, right? That was meant to be so stable

and how they tried to promote it was they got someone to jump on the mattress with like a glass of red wine. - That's what they always do. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I noticed in the advertisements, they had this shot where this guy jumps on, this kind of suit jumps on, right? And the glass is like in front of him in frame, right? But also in frame was the fact that this glass was on top of a towel that was opaque.

- And you could see the show where this guy jumps on this mattress. He like panics for a bit, looks at the glass and then just smiles. And I'm just like, you sneaky motherfuckers. How many fucking takes did this get, man? Fucking false. - How many mattresses do they have to go through? - I think it's the Koala Japanese ad. - Have you seen the legendary long men commercial? - Long, long man?

- Love those ads. - What's that one? - It was like, oh yeah. - I love those ads. - It's basically like this product for the sweet in Japan. It's this very long- - It's like gum. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And then they told like a story through like 10 ads where the guy like left his wife and was gay.

or something like that. - Yeah, it was really good. - They do a lot of those actually, like SoftBank has had this like long running like story arc in their advertisements where it's like, they get like characters from like Japanese folklore and like put them in situations where it's like, oh, you know,

"Momotaro, would you like, I want a way to be able to contact you when I make it to the Island of the Devils." Well, why not try SoftBank? And this ad series, I guess, has been going on for like 10 plus years. And they're still making it with these like recurring characters. So much so, I think I went to a SoftBank the other day and I saw that they were selling merch of these characters. - Makes sense, why not? Why not? - And I'm like, "Who is buying this?"

- Soft bank employees. - I mean, I also noticed that a lot of Japanese strategy when it comes to advertisement is can we make this thing an anime character? Have you noticed every time you're like, every time I've gone to like a new prefecture or something and they try to promote whatever that prefecture is famous for. - There's some really bad mascots. - They called Yuru-kara.

- Yeah, but every prefectural like city or whatever has this like kind of mascot type thing. Usually, you know, they also make like a giant fucking, you know, a suit for it. - Some of them are so fucking ugly. - Yeah. - And they're so bad at the designs. - Yeah. - I like, I think it's Hakodate or-

or Hokkaido, they have Melon Kuma, which is the bear with the melon on his head. And I'm like, it's just a fucking black bear with a melon on his head. This has got nothing to do with Hokkaido. - Yeah, I've started to notice this 'cause I went to Yamanashi prefecture like a month ago and then they had, they were trying to advertise their wine. 'Cause of course they did. And how they did that was these,

they had a boy idol group that they had made to represent all the different wines that were made there. And I'm just like, really? You have to get like, France is crying right now, man. Fuck it. All of Europe is crying. What have you done to our wine, man? - Wait, so there's like, it's like, I'm Chardonnay. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Literally like that. - Merlot, he's a little dark and spicy.

And they'd made their own fucking like anime trailer for these boys as well. And I'm just like, oh, what are you doing? - Wait, let me look it up. It's just like Yamanashi wine man. - It's good as well, like outside of Harajuku, I don't know if it's still there for a very long time, in front of the exit, there was this like anime manga panel.

and it looked like a romance thing, but it was advertising password safety. - Yes. - You know the thing I'm talking about? - Yes, yes, yes. It's in front of Harajuku, yeah. - It's like a guy and a girl texting and they're in love or something. And then it's, I can't remember why, but it's literally all just about securing your passwords. And it's like,

- What the fuck? - I love, yeah, it literally just, if you just take a glance at it, it just looks like a panel from like a standard shoujo romance manga. But then when you look at what they're actually saying- - What if I can find it? Can we find it, Naby? - I think I remember one of them is like the guy's doing like a Kabedon to like the girl and the girl's like, "Huh." And then the guy's like, "Do you wanna make this relationship as strong as your password?"

And then at the bottom in the tiny font, it's just like password security company or something like that. I'm just like, that is so Giga brain. I love it when they're like, yeah, I love it when they're like mix and match mediums and stuff like that for advertisements.

- Well, there is an article on Crunchyroll that's blocked. - Oh, great. - 'Cause we're in Japan. - Yeah, right, right. - It's currently open expressly. Yeah, the headline was something about Shojo manga. - Yeah, yeah. - Promoting IT safety. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's like, there's a panel about it. - Yeah, that's the one. - Yeah, yeah, that's the one. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - She's like cabadoning him there. Hold on, I gotta- - I just want to protect you as much as your password does. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's this one.

- Literally like this. - Oh, oh. It's like, hey, make sure to look after your password. Oh my God.

- Oh yeah, it's like, I'll be waiting until you change your password. - It's so smart. - It's so good. - That's so brilliant. - I remember 'cause somebody asked me, they were like, I was with someone, they were like, "What is that advert?" And I was like, "I have to put passwords." And they're like, "What?"

- What do you mean? - It's so Giga Brain, I love it. - Yeah, they have a really creative with some stuff and like really cool ways. Like that really famous 3D curved advertising screen in Shinjuku, the one where they play the cat jumps out. And they've been, you know, if you want, that's like their equivalent of Times Square now. - Yeah, yeah. - In Japan, it's like, if you want the billboard, that's the one. - Yeah, yeah. - It's curved, you do 3D. - It is pretty sick though. - When One Piece Red was out,

they had like a whole one piece thing playing on it where Luffy like jumps out and this like- - Oh, cool. - I can't remember. It was like- - Yeah, that sounds like Luffy. - Luffy be like, "Aah!" - Luffy jumping out and screaming, that's Luffy. - He is literally the Tyler Wong of anime. - Hey, we should formulate a plan. - But what always interests me is like,

- Sometimes seeing like the anime tie in by products and just kind of seeing the lengths they will go to with Evangelion. See how they can tie Ava into this one product. - Well, Pachinko.

- Pachinko is like easy mode, man. - Very popular. - Yeah, Pachinko is like easy mode. I think the weirdest Ava one I ever saw was I think they were advertising like horse race betting or something like that. And they had made this- - They were doing boat race betting as well. - Oh really? - Yeah. - 'Cause what I saw, I saw like Ava unit one as like a horse, like running it down. - What the fuck? - And like Gendo was betting on him. I was like, this is the weirdest ass shit I've ever seen.

- I've ever seen in my life. - What I love is the absolute dichotomy where it's like, we will not give the English rights to license this to anybody for 20 years. Oh yes, go ahead, make horseman gamble. What the fuck? We're so strict with who we give our IP out to, unless it's minions and cleaning products. And it's like, what the fuck?

What the fuck? Why do you become super strict about who gets to do it when it comes to foreign people? - Exactly. - Having an English adaptation. - It's just like, we don't want you to ruin the image of our IP. Meanwhile, here's what we do with our IP. You know, it blows my mind.

- It's so like double-sided. Like you said, even like Nintendo, right? Nintendo love to be like, we are so stringent with our IP. If you go to some arcades, there are certain machines that are Mario Party gambling machines. Have you seen these? It's basically a six player Mario Party gambling machine where it's with real money, you play and you try and progress around the board to win more money. It's like,

I'm sorry, what Nintendo? No guns in games, but gambling is cool. - Yeah. - But it's in Japan. - It's fine, it's in Japan. - In terms of the image that Japan has in terms of advertising, I'd say a lot of it is actually pretty normal. It's not as crazy as what people think it is. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's definitely crazy ones out there, but it's certainly not the majority. - 'Cause I'm going to say,

- In Thailand, Thailand are actually fucking amazing and making crazy ass fucking commercials. - I've seen some Thai commercials that I saw on YouTube that are like more heart wrenching than some of like the most heaviest drama films I've seen in my life. - There are some Thai commercials that are just like a two minute short film and then it ends and they're just like, have you heard about life insurance? And I'm just like, yo, you just fucking yanked my heart out for life insurance. - For life insurance, you're working with the easiest thing to make money.

- Yeah, but these ads are like- - How the fuck is Cheerios gonna make a sob story? - But these ads are like short films. - And there are like so many Thai ads that don't get uploaded on YouTube that are just weird as fuck. Like I remember I'm having like a flashback of just some of the adverts I saw as a kid when I was in Thailand watching on TV. And I remember I was in Thailand watching some show and then it went cut to commercial.

And then it showed the scene of like a group of, a group of like robbers or like bank heists people. And they had like broken into this building and they're like, oh shit, I think we've got the wrong building. I don't think this is the bank. And I think, and one guy goes, oh, I think this is like the supermarket. Like there's a fridge over there. And so they were like, why is there all these like drinks here? Have we gotten to the wrong place? And so like, we started drinking it. So it's like, try it out.

And then it zooms out to be like, it's a commercial for an optician to be like, do you need a new prescription for your glasses? And it zooms out and the building they've broken into is a sperm bank.

Watching that as a kid, I'm just like, what is this? What am I watching right now? - What's the joke, dad? That's so good. - It's like some shit you'd see in like American Pie or something. And I'm like, that was a weird thing to see as a kid. - Yeah.

- Go Google some Thai commercials 'cause they have some wild ass shit there. - But that's the thing, I feel every country has their fair share of like what the fuck type of commercials. - We've pretty boring ads in the UK. - Really? - Yeah. - In Australia, for instance, like there was one ad that just stuck with me forever. It was an ad for Cadbury chocolate.

And I think it actually won like a- - Was it the British one? - Was it the gorilla? - The gorilla one. - Yeah, that was huge. - Yeah, that was massive. - That was everywhere. - Everyone was like, I remember when I was a kid, when that came on the TV, everyone was like, "Everyone, the add's on, the add's on." - Yeah, it's like, "It's the gorilla!"

- Honestly, that was probably the most genius ad I've seen. - Yeah, there's another one. I don't know if it's British or Australian. It probably is Australian, but there's a one for some kind of Australian beer. And it's this like, it's this couple that's like sleeping in the bed and the guy is just sleeping next to his girl and whatever. And his tongue starts crawling out of his mouth.

and it's like a worm. - Right. - And it goes like across, it goes out of the house and it crawls across the road to this house party and goes into the cooler, grabs a beer, brings it back and crawls it all the way to the guy's mouth. And then the guy wakes up with the beer in his mouth and it's like, have a beer.

But like at the time the CG was so good that it was so incredibly disturbing scene. Just realistic time, just like out of this guy's mouth and just crawling around on the ground. Just shit like that. - I think some adverts I remember that like stand out to me. We had like the gorilla one, which was like fucking huge. And another one, I think it was ad for,

- Obviously didn't do his job because I can't remember the product it was selling. But I remember the advert itself because it had that song where it was just like, ♪ Doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon ♪ And it looked like a pretentious film about surfers. 'Cause there was this one surfer and you just hear the song in the background just going, ♪ Doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon ♪ And then like the announcer comes on and he just goes, he waits. That's what he does. The perfect wave.

- Tick follows tock follows tick follows tock follows tick. And it just fucking builds up and he finds that perfect wave. And I don't know why that advert just like sticks in my mind so much. I'm pretty sure it's a fucking beer advertisement. I wanna watch it. - It sounds so avant-garde when you like describe it to me. - No, it was avant-garde. - I love like anti-drug commercials as well. Those are fun. - Oh yeah. - 'Cause they're always like insane.

- Oh yeah. - Oh, of course, you can forget that legendary ad, the one, I think it's an Irish ad, the one where the car, it's like a drunk driving PSA and the car topples over and hits like 20 kids. - Oh yes. - Have you seen this one? - I have seen that one. - That one's like, whoa, who thought of this one? - Oh God. - Someone had a dark day at the office. - Yeah. - All right, I'm feeling like a tangent. - Okay, go on. - All right, go for the tangent. - Anime tropes we love to hate.

- That's not a trope, Joey. - It is now. - That's not a trope. - It is now. - High school. - How'd you guys- - Do we hate it? - I hate it. Yes, I do. The moment I see an anime now and it's like, he's a normal high school. Like Cyberpunk 2077, I nearly clocked out when he was in school. 'Cause I was like- - Do you mean "Edge Runners"? - Sorry, "Edge Runners".

when he was in school, I was like, I swear to fucking God, if they've made a cyberpunk and they put it in a fucking school, I'm gonna lose it. And then of course he leaves school that episode. - Yeah, luckily. - Thank God. But like, I'm just so over anything with high school. I think I've said this before in the anime. - Yeah. - I'm just bored. - Yeah. - Okay, how do we feel? 'Cause this is one of the things that's like parodied the most, but like the over explanations when it comes to anime fights. - Oh, the Setsumushi-o. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- And let's take Jojo and Baki out of this conversation. 'Cause I feel like those are like, those are so ridiculous. I need the explanation. - Yes, of course. - I need them. - So like you're talking about like, say like in a sports anime, for example, where like, as you know, this like,

second by second play is happening. Some guy in the fucking crowd has time to do a three minute explanation of what's happening. - Or like sports animal or even like any Shonen battle anime. - Yeah. - Fucking half of Hunter x Hunter. - I do like the Hunter x Hunter narration though. I don't know, there's something about it. - It's gone realized, he fucked up. - I don't know. I think it's just like so commonplace now where I just don't think about it anymore. - I do think it's,

I feel like if you make it interesting, you can convey all this information without needing to tell the audience. - Right, just show don't tell, right? - Yeah. - 'Cause I was thinking about this because I think it's just something we've accepted that anime just fucking does. This is just a thing. We are gonna explain what's happening.

And it's not only until like recently when we've just seen examples where it's been handled better than it has in the past. Like I think Jujutsu Kaisen has had a really good balance between showing what's happening versus like explaining what's happening. And I recently did like a video on like manga adaptations and I realized that

I've realized what difference it makes when you just take out the explanation, take out the explaining and just show what's happening on screen. And it's just like, holy shit, this works so much better. It just takes so much more effort. But so few anime actually go out and do it.

- Yeah, and that's the problem, right? Is that like some of the best stories in manga and anime, you know, don't require a whole lot of explanation or even dialogue to like tell you what's happening. Like, you know, like "Blam!" for example, right? Like that manga has barely any dialogue at all, but it's still coherent enough because it shows you every step of the way visually. And as long as you can like kind of put the pieces together as to like the sequence of what's happening, then it's fucking epic.

But the problem is, as you said, it just takes more brain power to figure out what's happening because it's very much open to interpretation. So I think they've just like, yeah, maybe it is laziness. I don't know. Maybe the authors just have decided being like, well, I could show them, but...

But at the same time, I'm afraid to alienate any readers into what exactly is happening. And it might deter them from enjoying the rest of the story. - It comes from manga, right? So I think that's why we often get this over explanation kind of approach to it. - 'Cause you need it in manga. - There's so many,

- There's so many manga that have shown in manga that I really struggled to see what's going on in the fight. Like, I don't know, am I the only person who has this problem? - No, there are some fights where I'm just like, I don't know what the fuck's happening. - There are some manga that are better than others. - Sometimes I just, I am looking at the battle and I am reading the panels, like going over it four times. And I'm like, I still in my head cannot figure out what is happening. - You read Claymore, didn't you?

didn't you? - Yeah, I read all of Claymore. That was hard. - Holy shit, 'cause I've reread it recently and that was almost fucking impossible to discern what's happening because- - Especially the later fights. - Because in group fights, you have all of these Claymore where all of them are silver haired,

wearing the same fucking uniform. And I'm like, who is even fighting right now? I actually cannot tell who's swinging the sword. - Yeah. - It's just, that one was like hard. - But I think that's the thing, right? It's like, it's all up to the different author on like their skill on being able to like show the flow of movement, right? Like the reason why like "Berserk" for example,

Like Mira did such a good job on that. Is that like a lot of the fights don't really have an explanation, right? And if there is an explanation, it's maybe like...

one or two frames, right? - Yeah. - But he was such a master at- - The Berserk was really easy to follow. - Yeah, 'cause he was such a master at like figuring out the flow of movement and like where to show it and how to show it that it was just very self-explanatory, even in like big fights, right? - Claymore was hard to follow. - Yeah. - Even though Claymore has amazing fucking art, like the monster design in Claymore is like incredible.

But the way the story went because of how the story was structured around a group of people who basically are look exactly the same and all dressed exactly the same and have the same kind of weapons. - I really liked the world of Claymore. - I really liked the world of Claymore. - Yeah, Claymore was great. - It was a really cool world. - It was a really cool world. - You should check it out if you haven't. It was quite good, but stopped. - Don't, don't.

- The anime had a original ending. Remember when anime have like, remember when the anime just went its own path and was like, I'm gonna do my own thing. I'm gonna end it my own way. - I don't think I will. - To be fair, the best part of Claymore anyway is the part up until like the first half. - The halfway point. - Yeah, the first half. - That's when it's good. - Definitely. - 'Cause there's no high school in it. - What'd you hate about high school? - Is there a single anime that's based on high school that is like, I can forgive this?

- Yeah, like, I mean, okay. There are a lot of shows where it makes a lot of sense. And I've gone on this rant before and there's a lot of shows where I just feel like if anything, it detracts from it. Like obviously,

Like, you know, Light being a college student or a high school student as well. I have no qualms about that. That makes sense in the story. It adds to the reason why you'd never suspect this character to be doing this stuff 'cause he's a normal high school student. But there's other ones where I'm just like,

like Tokyo Revengers, do they really need to be high school students? Like straight up, like that show is- - Actually they were middle school students. - It's even worse. Like I went on this whole rant when we talked about this before, but Tokyo Revengers was actually ruined for me because they are all middle school students. Like it makes,

the show so much shitter. I don't understand why they did that. - But it's such an interesting dichotomy, isn't it? Because we say that about Tokyo Avengers and yet we're okay with Hanayama from Baki being 14. - Baki. - Isn't it? It's such a weird like- - If you guys have watched Baki, they're all high school students, but like, it's like, not even the main character's high school student fighting like fully grown men. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Literally nothing in Baki makes any sense. So it doesn't matter.

He's literally never in school. - No. - He's a high school student. He's the worst high school student in Japan. He's never, how is that man not expelled? I don't like it. He is never at school. Where are the police?

- Do you think the police are gonna stop him? - He talks to the fucking US military at one point. I don't think it's an issue. I'm sorry if there's a high, if in this world, the US military comes and talks to a high school student about like asking him to not fight because he's basically a weapon of mass destruction. I think all other normal rules go out the window. - I think your dad just talked to Obama the other day. We discussed this. - I think the series that like,

I think the series that jarred me the most in terms of like adding high school in it is this is a pretty old one actually. It's a "Awari no Seraph". - Yes. - Do you remember this? - I really liked the show, but I- - Yeah, I liked the show as well. But I can say like, I remember the first like two or three episodes, we are introduced to this like post-apocalyptic world where vampires had taken over and there's only like

- It's so sick. - And it's a fucking amazing world. The main character wakes up and he's like, he finds out that he's just like food for the vampires. He has to escape and all this. And you're like, damn, this world's metal. He escapes, finds like the freedom squad, the revolutionaries, the last remaining humans.

And then there's a fucking high school arc. And I'm just like, you're in a post-apocalyptic world, motherfucker. You have tried really fucking hard. You have tried really fucking hard to- - I completely forgot about that. - Yeah, to like bring high school into this. But you've managed it somehow. And I don't know why you thought this was a good idea. - And it's so weird 'cause later on they pretty much just drop that all anyway. So I don't under, like,

- That was a show that I think that really like plagued it. Like, because it was when it first came out, it was like really, especially the anime, like people were freaking out about it. It just dropped after Attack on Titan, had a similar kind of edginess to it and five people were looking for. And I think it just, yeah, the high school kind of element ruined it. - It's like the equivalent of if like halfway through season one of Attack on Titan, they just like go back to school.

- Yeah, it's like, ah! - Attack on Titan just realized, it was like, let's just fucking make these children grow up. Let's just actually have a good fucking arm. - Oh my God. - Yeah, I would like for more stories to be set outside of high school, and I think we're slowly starting to see that. I don't know. Or at least if it's going to be in a high school, get it to the point where we get to see them

once they're out of school or something, you know? Or once they're like, you know, like Beastars did a really good job of that where like it starts off in a school, but then the second half he's not in the school anymore. And he's like out in the real world. And like that, I think like balance is cool. I don't mind that. - A lot of people always argue that like it's more relatable to the target audience. - Yes. - And I'd say what aspect of Jotaro do I relate to as him being a 17 year old kid as a high school student? You know what I mean? Like I feel this argument of it being more targeted is like- - But there's a reason why Josuke

- That was in a high school. - Yeah, right? - Like even fucking Joe, even Joe Tara, right? Like even though he's a high school student, you never see him in the fucking school. - Right, like I find that they spent a lot of shows where they have a high school protagonist often spend no time in high school anyway. So what's the point of even bringing this up? And sometimes,

I find that kids aren't that fucking dumb. I feel like people think kids are so much more stupid than they are, that if it's just not the same, if they're not in the exact same situation, they can't relate or have some kind of tie to it. And it's like, yes, obviously when I was in school and Harry Potter was going on, that was something I could relate to a lot more and that was a banger. But it wasn't like I didn't wanna watch 24 and Jack Bauer go around shooting people. You know what I mean? Like I find that kids want those other stories anyway. So stop saying that the only reason is 'cause

they're targeting high school students. I find that they don't, they're not that dumb. - In the case with Japan, it goes both ways. It's the fact that yes, they're trying to target high school students who are currently in high school where it's like, oh, this character I like is also in high school, I relate. But it's also targeted towards younger adults who have just come out of high school as well. Where, because to a lot of Japanese people, this idea of like in high school and being a student was kind of like a golden age.

- That's the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life. - Which is really sad, but it's the truth. - That was the worst period of my life. - Yeah. - My life got so much better when I left. - Which is weird, right? Because it's this, I'm pretty sure I've talked about it before, but it's like, it's this weird like difference in between the West and Japan of like in Japan, high school is like a time where it's like, I wish I was back there. And then in the West, high schools,

movies and stuff like that are always like, look how shit high school was. Can you relate guys? Being an adult is so much better. And it's just this like weird dichotomy. So it's like, I get that sometimes they want to do it for that purpose. But I also do agree that a lot of the times they just throw it into a fucking high school because it's like, oh, that's an easy setting. I don't have to come up with like an original concept for a setting or a world. - Yeah.

minus double points if it's in a school and then there's unnecessary lewdness all the time or fan service where they're just like groping each other and you're like, what?

- I mean, that's literally every ecchi, manga and anime ever. - I know, I know. - Yeah, I mean, most of that has been transferred over to the fantasy genre now. - Yeah, for sure. - I think high school ecchi has, I don't know if it's gone out of favor. - It's run its course. - Yeah, I think it's run its course. Now it's just like, let's- - You can get way more degen. It's not Earth. - Yeah, it's not Earth. - It's another world. - Let's not, you know, high school-

- High school doesn't have slimes running around. - You can't have slaves in high school. You can have that in another world. - Talking about tropes, I need to fucking die in anime. Every isekai having slaves, man. Fucking, I'm an isekai fan. I'm like that just needs to,

- There's a weird amount of slavery. - I'm so fucking done with it, man. Like, okay, I get it. It's your fantasy world and a lot of like medieval stories. They had slaves in them, but also it's a fantasy world. You're only limited by what your mind can imagine. And why does everyone imagine slavery in their world? - Can we have a fantasy world where everyone is equal? That would be nice. - Do we need to have a sit down?

- What's going on? Like, why are we trying to bring this back? - It's just, yeah, it's just every new Easter guy I swear I watch now, it's just like, oh, there's the rescuing the slave arc. Is he just going, is he going to free the slave this time or is he gonna take the slave under his own arms? - And then, oh look, the slave is falling in love with their master again. - Under the framing that he's a saving slave. - Fucking hell. - I mean, I'm white, so I don't wanna talk too much about slavery, but.

But a lot of the times it feels like, well, we've got this character who's kind of just cool. How do we kind of make him more likable? - Yeah. - Just get him to free some slaves. - Just give him a savior complex, it's fine. Speaking of which, there's another tangent I want to go on. The most iconic scenes involving bathrooms and toilets in movies and TV shows.

- The most iconic scenes involving bathrooms and toilets in movies and TV shows. The only one I can think of is in fucking "Trainspotting" when he dives into the toilet to get the drugs. - Oh yeah. - Other than that, is there an iconic scene? - There's something about Mary.

- Oh no. - I don't think I've seen that movie. - Have you not seen that movie? - "The Come?" - Yes. - He like jacks off into the mirror before the date, right? Or he's jacking off before the date. - Was that something about Mary or was that something else? - Something about Mary, I'm pretty sure, right? - 'Cause- - It's still all right. - Yeah, it is.

- It's got Cameron Diaz. - Yeah, that's something about Mary, right? Can you Google this, make sure. - Okay, so there's two scenes. - There is two, yeah. - So there's that and then there's the scene which I think like- - Wait, hold on, explain the first scene. All I hear- - So I think Ben Stiller- - All I heard was he jacks off into the mirror. - He's having a date and he wants to, you know, 'cause he might be getting some. So he wants to jack off before he goes out. So, you know, maybe he likes to la la la. And he comes and he doesn't know where the cum went.

And then it turns out it was on, it was behind his ear. - Yeah. - Oh, I have seen this. - And then he meets Cameron Diaz at the door and she's like, oh, you have some gel, I'll take that. And she takes it for some reason and puts it in her hair. - And puts it in her hair, yeah. - There's an article about it. - There's an article about it. - Is it actually possible for cum to be good hair gel? - Breaking it down. - But no, no, the scene I was thinking of, I don't know if this is still, there's something about Mary, it might be something else, but it's the zipper scene.

- I can't remember this one. - I think it is Ben Stiller. He's pissing in the toilet and then he just kind of like, he's just staring out the window, right? And he's just kind of like having like a thousand yards there or whatever. And then he realizes he's staring at the window of a girl getting changed or something like that. And so he starts to panic and then he zips up

- Is this 40 year old Virgin? - No, this isn't 40 year old Virgin. I'm pretty sure it's Ben Stiller.

- So basically he zips his schlong up. - You say this scene to me and I feel like it's Steve Carell in my mind. I don't know why. Like why am I picturing 40 year old Vin? - Maybe there's a Steve Carell scene as well. - Maybe there's a Steve Carell scene. - Maybe he's remade it. - Yeah, yeah. But it's- - Paying homage. - Yeah, but it's iconic because even just describing that every man in the world, basically you hear him zip up. - Every man in the world winces. - He zips up and he screams. And then there's this.

- It's a fucking iconic scene. There's a scene where he asks for help and basically every guy who was just like, okay, let me help you. They look at what has like, what he's got himself into. And they're just like, yo, what the fuck man? What the fuck? And the most fucked up thing is there's a shot where they actually show what has happened.

- There's a shot where the zipper is entangled with the skin and it's just like for a second. That is now like become a core memory. That has become a core memory in my mind. - Oh, my balls just went whoop. - And everyone who's watched that film.

- I'm gonna Google iconic bathroom scenes 'cause now I'm- - The only other one I can think of is, I forgot which Austin Powers film it is. - Oh no. - But there's that scene where he's inside the lair of Dr. Evil and he like runs into the bathroom and as he's taking this like,

extremely long piss. The two henchmen are talking like some like secret, you know, talks or whatever, but he can't hear him because the piss is so loud. So he stops to listen and the henchmen just like,

Look at him really suddenly and he just starts pissing. He's like, and he just does that on and off for like five minutes. That's the only other one I can think of. - Home Alone one where he's getting changed and then he slaps his face and goes, ah, with the aftershave. - Oh yeah. - Was that one? - What was that? - In Home Alone when he's getting ready and then he applies the aftershave to his bare skin and screams 'cause obviously it burns. - Yeah. - He's not a man yet.

- I had my leg up and now all the blood's rushing back to my leg. I did find the scene you're talking about. It's from "Along Came Polly", right? - Oh yeah, so I'm getting those two mixed up. - Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. - Okay, okay. - Yeah. - Ben Stiller and iconic bathroom scenes, man. What can you say? - So there's the shining, technically in a bathroom.

- Oh yeah. - It's Johnny. - Oh yeah, how about you see Johnny? - I actually heard a really fun, well, like I guess little factoid about that is that like the actress, I forgot her name, but you know how she's like fucking terrified and screaming? That was apparently a genuine reaction.

'cause she didn't know that they were actually gonna get a real ax and actually go through the door. So she's actually freaking out. - Kubrick was a fucking madman. - AKA asshole. - AKA dickhead. - He wasn't ass, he made amazing fucking movies, but hearing about some of the,

- Hearing about some of the stories that happened on set in everyone in his films, I would hate to work for him. - There was also that scene in "The Shining" that I think apparently took 127 takes. - Yeah, he's crazy. - And they made them redo it just so they can get mentally fatigued and actually fucking just crazy because of how many times he asked them to redo the take and everything like that. - What an asshole.

And in a clockwork orange where they had the scene where they propped up the eye. - Oh yeah. - And he actually scratched his cornea or something like that. And so when he's screaming, stop, stop. He was actually screaming because. - Yeah, it was legit. - He had scratched his cornea and he was like screaming in pain and Kubrick's like, nah. - Keep rolling, keep rolling. This is great. - This is a good take. - This is a good film. - I mean back in the day.

- Way back when movies just were starting and becoming a big thing and a lot of money was being put into it. Like a lot of people just died during filming stuff. Like big scenes, like Colosseum scenes or there's a Noah's Ark film where just a bunch of people died. - Well, there's that famous one of like, you know, the never ending story. - No. - It's like this fantasy film, the never ending story, like really famous in the US. But there's this scene where like the kid is like pulling a horse through a swamp and the horse like slowly starts to like sink.

Apparently that horse actually died in that scene. - Oh bro, way back in animals and movies, they did not give a fuck. - That horse straight up died in that scene and they cut it right before the horse actually like drowned and died. And I'm just like, what the fuck? - That is depressing. - Yeah, it's super depressing. - Yeah, the only other thing I can think of is that there was a Texas Chainsaw Massacre where there's a scene where- - The first one. - I think it's the first one. There's a scene where, because it was so hot where they were filming and,

the main murderer had to wear like the mask during filming and it was fucking, he was getting like heat stroke and he accidentally like,

there was a scene where he cuts like one of the girl's finger and he actually cut the finger and she was screaming in real pain. - Oh shit. - But he was so delirious that he like didn't know that he was actually cutting like a real finger. - Jesus. - Just like the shit you can get away with like back then. God, someone's getting a lawsuit nowadays man. - Yeah, shut up dude. - I'm looking at more iconic bathrooms. - Yeah, iconic bathroom scenes. - What's some more iconic bathroom scenes? - Put iconic shitting scenes.

- I mean, again, going back to Austin Powers with the fat bastard, you know, like sitting on the toilet and he's like, "But I didn't have any coal." - There are so many iconic bathroom scenes in Austin Powers. Like that first scene when he wakes up and he's like de-thawed and he spends like ages on the urinal and he's just like. - That's because Austin Powers is like the epitome of like pee-pee poo-poo jokes in film. It's like, that's why we love it.

- I'm actually going to chat with GBT like 10 iconic pooping scenes. - Yeah, there's a one with Dumb and Dumber where they have the laxatives. He drinks laxatives, he starts shitting like crazy. - Oh, there's also that scene in White Chicks as well where he has the cheese accidentally. - Yeah. - I love that scene.

- God, White Chicks is a film that would not fly today. - No. - I'm just thinking about it. That would be a film that would be canceled so fast today. - Do you think Tropic Thunder could be made nowadays? - No. - American Pie, there's like so many. There's one where he's like shaving his pubes and then he, for some reason, throws the pubes out the window and they get blown into like one of the wedding venues. It's so stupid. - Oh my God.

every other scene in American Pie is like half, what happened to toilet humor? I remember when every other like comedy film had toilet humor in it and now we're just like, oh, we're better than that.

I'm like, I don't know. - Are we better than that? I don't think we are. - I don't think we are. - Because I still love that line in American Pie where it's like, I went to band camp and I played a trumpet with my pussy. It's the dumbest line, but it's stuck with me for all these years. - Oh yeah, nuts in sunscreen. - Yeah. - Gross. - I love those movies, man. - What is the next AI generated prompt, Garnt? Let me know.

- The weirdest food combinations people would actually enjoy. - Toast sandwiches. - Toast sandwiches. - This is kind of similar to the last thing, I guess. - Food combination. - How many more prompts do we have in there of curiosity? - We only have one more off this actually. - Weird food combinations. Mayo and anything is pretty good. - Japanese mayo. - Japanese mayo. - Japanese mayo. Just give me a Japanese mayo, man. Keep your mayo. You could just put that with anything. - The older I get, the more I like mayo. I don't know why.

- What do you mean? - I don't know, the more I get older- - Wait, did you never like Kewpie? - As a kid, I remember hating mayonnaise. I used to think it was disgusting. It looked vile as well. - Well, but I mean- - But UK mayo is- - Yeah, I mean, Western mayo is different. - We have the whitest shade of white mayo and it's like- - Isn't it a little bit more watery as well? - Yeah, yeah, I never liked that. That one's gross. - Fuckin' shit. - Yeah, Japanese mayo all the way. - Japanese mayo's creamy. - What about adding cheese to, what does cheese not work with? - Okay, let 'em cook. - Huh?

- Let him cook. What did you suggest? - What is cheese I work with? - Because I asked this because growing up, okay, well there was a big separation for me between like, let's say Western food and Asian cuisine and the concept of like adding cheese to like a lot of like Thai cuisine and like Asian cuisine. I was just like, I don't see it happening. But then I discovered Korean cuisine that does that. I'm like, oh, maybe this can work.

Maybe we need to think about this a bit more. - Yeah. - 'Cause I, same with like cheese. - Cheese is like a crutch for food, I think. 'Cause like, not for, at least for foods that are bad can be made,

more edible with cheese on them because cheese is so good at overpowering anything else it's combined with. And I find that normally it's, at least in Japan and stuff, the cheaper the food, the more chance there'll be cheese involved. - Yeah, that's true. - Just because they're like, all right, let's put some cheese to mask this. It'll be like, I don't know, what will they have cheese with on here? A lot of the time, like Asian food, I don't really want cheese with it. - Okay, how do we feel about cheese and rice?

- That's a little strange. - Okay, what? Can you give me an example of food? - Like just a bed of rice with some fucking cheese on top. - Honestly, it's pretty- - I've never tried it, but- - I've tried it, it's pretty good. - It could be good. I mean, mayo and rice is nice, so. - That mayo and cheese are not the same thing. - Yeah, I know, but what I'm saying- - I like mayo and rice. - Yeah, because I was just like cheese and rice, that would never work. - No, it does work. - Yeah, then I tried it in a few places in Japan. I'm like, okay, this is not- - It's like,

- It's like the pasta of Asia. - Cheese and carbs, right? - You know what I mean? It's just carbs. - Cheese and carbs. - Carbs and cheese go like hand in hand. I don't fuck with people when they put like nacho cheese on like broccoli or something. I've had that a few times in Japan. - Nacho cheese on broccoli? - Yeah, it'd be like cheese, broccoli. And then I order it and it's like nacho cheese, like the canned nacho. They pour on and I'm like, what the fuck? - What does that go well with? - I would argue nothing. I will accept it with- - Oh really? I put mayonnaise on it.

- Wait, sorry, with- - No, no, no, we're talking about nacho cheese. - Oh, nacho cheese. - The fucking cheese sauce. - No, no, that's not food. - I'm like, that barely goes with nachos. Give me real cheese with nachos. - Yeah, give me real cheese with nachos. - Is there any point where I would choose that fucking fake cheese over the real cheese? No. - No, fuck that. - But I'm trying to think, is there anything cheese doesn't go well with?

- Is cheese just the hack? - I was gonna say cake, but we literally have cheesecake. - Yeah, we literally have cheesecake, fuck. Is cheese just that OP? - No, cheese is very OP. - Cheese is OP. - I'm just like thinking. - Problem is that it's just fat and carbs. So when you add it to stuff, it makes it way more unhealthy. - There's gotta be like some dish or like food item where if you put it with cheese, it becomes immediately disgusting. - Yeah, dude.

- Oh no, 'cause you can get like brata and some fruit. - Oh fuck, you're right. - Yeah, and you get like fondue as well. You dip like fruit. - I think 'cause cheese is so versatile, generally there's so many different flavors you can have with it. I think there's a cheese for everything.

Unfortunately. - Damn. - Unfortunately. - I think there is. I think there's a cheese for everything. - Okay, this is- - Cheesy quality. - This is one thing I don't get where I've been to like some, let's say high class restaurants, right? - Okay. - And they have a cheese course which comes after the main course. And I think the French do this a lot. - Yeah. - Where you have cheese as like a dessert. - Yeah. - I don't get that. I do not get that. - I get it. 'Cause normally you're just drinking at that point, right? So it's more of like a snacking thing and it's not like a very heavy,

sweet taste. It's like you can have a little bite savoriness, but it is a lot, I will admit. - I don't know how people can handle it 'cause by the time I finished the main course, I'm like, I'm fucking done. And they're like, oh, we have another cheese course. And I'm like, what? You want me to eat savory stuff after this?

- I mean, like I barely get the dessert after a course anyway. 'Cause as you said, like I wanna be full with the main course, right? So I don't have space for anything else. But like sometimes I've been tempted to be like, yeah, I'll take a little nibble of some cheese. - Take a little nibble of some cheese. - But the problem is that a lot of those like cheese boards is like, it's like six or seven pieces of different cheese. So it's just like, that's just like, I was expecting maybe two, you know? - Yeah. - It's just too much. - What else shouldn't work? It's good.

- Sweet and savory can work, but it's hard to do. It's hard to do, I think. - I'm not a fan of like red bean things being like a dessert. - Like kidney beans? - No, no, like the red bean desserts. - Oh, like Anko. - Yeah, they have Anko and they try and make it like, they add it to stuff and I'm like, no. - Like what? Like ice cream and stuff? - Yeah, ice cream. - But are you a fan of the red bean paste to begin with?

Sometimes I've had it and it's pretty good, but I'm rarely like super hyped about it. 'Cause I feel like it's just 'cause Japan just didn't have sugar for a long time. So they were like, "Let's just use this." Like just admit it, Japan, like you didn't have sugar and this is what you'd make, this is your dessert. - Yeah, but I mean, it's good.

I'm convinced they have a bean surplus and they're trying to get rid of it. - Oh yeah, of course they are. That's why we figured out 70 million ways to use the soybean. - Yeah, that's true actually. They put soy with everything. Soybeans in everything. - We've literally figured out every combination possible to use on a soybean. - You put it in the garbage for a week, you're like, oh shit, I can't eat whey.

- Oh, it's not so. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. - Okay. - We can turn it into a sauce. - There's gotta be some stuff that's so obvious. - I'm not a fan of red bean paste either. I don't know if you have to like grow up with it. Do you think we'd like chocolate so much because we grew up with it or is it just actually that OP? - Something in your brain is like, happy from sugar. - Yes. - But I guess it's in different forms, right? - Yeah, give me more sugar. - But there's natural sugars, I don't know.

- Chocolate plus something different other than a marshmallow, like a meat chocolate. - I like chocolate with fruit. It's a good combo. - Chocolate with fruit is good. - One thing I've not liked, chocolate covered strawberries and stuff. - Yeah, it makes strawberries a lot better. - Yeah, hell yeah. - Chocolate oranges?

- I mean, if he can make you like oranges, that's how- - It's the only way that orange is edible. - Yeah. There's actually one thing I don't like, which a lot of people do like, salted chocolate. Never been a fan. - Really? - I don't know, yeah. Never been a fan. Same thing with chocolate, with chili chocolate as well. - I don't like chili chocolate. - Chili chocolate, I don't understand- - I don't get chili chocolate. - Why people do that? - No. - I'm Thai, I love.

spicy, chili stuff. Get that shit out of my desserts. - I've never understood chili chocolate. - What are you gonna say Connor? - I like chili chocolate. - What do you like about it? Because what I don't like about it is the fact that it's like, I like some spice in my food and I like sweetness, but like spice and sweetness couldn't be further from the opposite in terms of palates. - It's like a forbidden.

- I think that's what makes it kind of nice. It's a little bit forbidden. - Would you say it's a little bit devious? - I'm feeling a little bit devious. - Naughty. Combine these two flavors.

- I have the same opinion about chili chocolate as whenever I see a shot and I look at like the ingredients of the shots and it has Tabasco sauce in it. And I'm like, oh, and I'm just like, oh fuck, get Bloody Marys away from me. I do not understand Bloody Marys. - Dude, I went out last night and they ordered a Bloody Mary, the person I was with and this, look at this fucking thing. Let me show you, I'll try and show the camera too. - You know what's kind of weird?

I've never really liked a Bloody Mary, but for some reason, oh my God. - Came with a whole stick of celery. - A whole stick of celery in that. - That's not the wildest shit I've seen. - I mean, you probably can't see this, but I mean, just dead ashes came with a whole stick of celery. - You know what's weird? Australians really like Bloody Marys and I don't know why. - It's 'cause it's a drink of alcoholics. - All of my, it's like how alcoholic, it's like the smoothie for alcoholics. - It's the hangover alcoholic drink. - I'm detoxing, I'll have a tomato drink this time. - I don't get it because it's,

you're just eating a meal. It feels like a meal. And the wildest shit is the-

- I got one after. - The wildest shit I've seen is like the Bloody Marys in Wisconsin, which I think is like more unhealthy than most meals because I swear to God, like we went to this bar and Sydney's mom and Sydney loves Bloody Marys, but only from Wisconsin. And I remember I go into this bar and they order a Bloody Mary and I'm used to like Bloody Marys having some weird shit in like a celery or something. I swear to God, this wasn't like a cocktail. It was...

It was just, they took like a meal and they'd like processed it, put it in this drink. And then out of this drink, they had a burger on a stick and some wings that they had put in this drink and served it. I shit you not. - What the fuck? - They put a burger on a stick and then stuck it in the Bloody Mary and I'm like,

- This is too far. This has gone too far. - How much is that Bloody Mary? Is it like 20 bucks? - Yeah, I think it's about 15, 20 bucks at the bars in Wisconsin. - They will do anything they can to not eat their vegetables. - Burgers and wings are the same as celery, right? - Not to mock Americans again, I'm sorry, but like a lot of the time we'll have something healthy or the guys have healthy and then we'll just find 10 other ways to make it unhealthy. I don't like honey on pizza.

- I'm not a fan. - Or like honey on cheese pizza and stuff? - I don't agree. I think it's abomination pizza. - See, I'm of the same opinion as pineapple on pizza. Get sweet stuff off of my pizza. - Yeah, I agree. Pineapple on pizza too is the ultimate does not work combo. Just stop trying to make it work. - What about pineapple in a burger? - I'm still not. Hawaii can do all they want. I'm not badging. - I'm not sold, but it's not as bad as pineapple on pizza for me. - What about like sweet and sour pork that has pineapple in it?

- The sweet and sour pork is pineapple, right? So does that work? - The pork should be the sweet and sour, right? I don't need a pineapple to do it. Like I don't want that watery bite that the pineapple gives. I know they fry it sometimes. But at that point I'm like, why are we even using the pineapple? Can we just find something else? - It's like putting oranges in my salad. - I hate oranges in salad. - I know you hate it because you hate oranges. I fucking love oranges, but just get that shit out of my salad. - I hate any fruit in my salad.

- In my salad. - You don't like apples? - When they put apples in my salad, I'm like fuck. That's the most 1% thing I've ever said. Yeah. But yeah, some combinations I'm not a fan of. - Yeah. - Yeah. - All right, let's look at the last AI generated tangent. What is it? - The most ridiculous anime hairstyles and what that says about the character. What the fuck?

- I mean, there's a lot. - Where do we start? - I mean, Yu-Gi-Oh. - Yeah, I think Yu-Gi-Oh is the thing. - Every character from Yu-Gi-Oh. - Every character in Yu-Gi-Oh. - Joey and his hairstyle. - Not even Joey, just Yu-Gi. First of all, I feel bad for cosplayers 'cause first they have to figure out what the fuck is going on with Yu-Gi's hair. And second of all, I'm just imagining like,

does he style that shit every morning? Like how long must that take? - It says commitment. - It is commitment. - And that's what we know about Yu-Gi-Oh. - I think Yu-Gi-Oh has ruined every card game anime character design. 'Cause sometimes you just look at a card game, like anime character and you're like, this is a rip off Yu-Gi-Oh character. You can always tell when an anime is about card games, when they have the craziest ass fucking hair that would not exist in real life, even by anime standards, man.

- In the case of the Yugo, it's not even the hair either. It's just like just character designs in general. - It's all harsh edges, all very like pointy. - All different colors. It can't just be one color. - It can't be one color. - It has to be like multiple colors. They have to have like streaks or some shit like that. - As a kid I was sick though. 'Cause it was like the only thing, 'cause cartoons are always rounded, soft and colorful. And here was this show that was fucking crazy and every character had the most absurd hair and you're just like, what the fuck?

- Yeah. - Yeah. - 'Cause I remember even like the most normal character hairstyle wise in Yu-Gi-Oh! is probably maybe like, I don't know, Pegasus, right? But even then it's like his fucking character design is so fucking whacked out and he's so batshit insane as a personality where it's like-

- He does have a pretty normal hairstyle. - It's just very, very long and straight and white, but like, you know, but everything else about him is just like, whoa, all right, chill. - What does the hairstyle say about the characters though? That's what I'm intrigued about. - That they're the main character. - Yeah.

- The amount of times you're sitting in a classroom when you're like, - I can tell who the main character is. Let me just look around and see who has the craziest ass fucking hairstyles. - It's just a matter of like, I think so many like series that have so many characters especially, the only way you can differentiate is being like, what color have we used on the color wheel yet? Let's make it that color. - Is there any anime where the character changes their hairstyle?

- One of the craziest head stars in anime. - I'm sure there is. - Yeah, Dragon Ball Z. Shut the fuck up, Joey. Actually shut the fuck up. - Do you know how different standard Goku and Super Saiyan 3 Goku is? It's like a completely different character. - Who the fuck is this? - Do you know what's rude? - Yeah, Goku literally has a lion mane. - Yeah, that's Super Saiyan 3. - Do you know what's rude in Super Saiyan 3 for me? He has no eyebrows.

- And once I noticed that, I could have not noticed that. - Oh my God, he doesn't. - They replaced his eyebrows with muscles. - His eyebrows just like go up into his hair. - Like look at Super Saiyan 3 Goku and they have replaced his eyebrows with muscles. And once I've noticed that, I cannot not notice that.

- It's probably just Toriyama being like, "Man, I'm spending too much time on the hair. I just forgot the eyebrows." So I guess I'm sticking with it. - Some of these characters I've never seen. There's Greville de Blois from "Gosick" has this insane like torpedo hair. - Oh yes, yeah, I love him. He's fucking sick. - And then obviously Charles Zebratania. That's not like a bit, that's his actual hair. - Oh, is it actually? - It's not like an accessory. That's his hair. - Oh my God.

- He's not wearing a wig like a judge. - Yeah, and I guess Ken Pachi from Bleach. - Yeah, a lot of Bleach characters have some wild hair. - Ota from "Ping Pong the Animation." I don't even know this character. That's some wack hair. - I forgot about that. - Oh yeah, Tendo from "Rama Half" as well. He's all crazy. - There's Ragio from "Kill la Kill" as well. She's literally just rainbows in her hair at some point.

- Oh, bro. I forgot about her. - Yeah, kill the kill. - Every character in "Sheiky". Yeah, JoJo's weird 'cause Jotaro's hair is just half hat, half hair. - Yeah. - Like it's like a weird- - The hat is the hair. - The hat doesn't do anything in his hair. It's very odd. There's also obviously Death the Kid.

- Oh yeah. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's good. That actually does tell us a little bit about the character. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That he loves symmetry, except it's not symmetrical. - Except it's not symmetrical. - It's the one thing that's not symmetrical. Yeah. I love it. Whenever you want to make a character seem more mature, just flatten their hair.

Like get the spikes out, flatten the hair. They are an adult now. - That's what you did. - That's what you did. - Honestly, honestly. - That's what you did. - Kind of like in real life as well. - Calm down, settle down, got a wife, hair comes down. - Hair comes down. - That's a trope that I can actually get behind. - That applies to real life. - Yeah. - Damn. - Or just have them like grow their hair out.

- And if they're meant to be the good looking main character, they'll have their eyes slightly covered and it'll be like down here and long. - There's always the streak here. If they're a little bit of the quirky character, give them the ahoge. - If they're a happy go lucky character, they'll have like the quiff. - Oh yeah, I'm ready for anything. I'm the character that just runs into everything.

- Why is it, we're going back to tropes now, but why is it the trope whenever you want to make an anime character look sussy, just give them like the fucking slit eyes, man. You know, the eyes that never open. And I'm just like, what? - Well, because it makes you be like, what are you actually looking at?

- What are you hiding? What are you hiding under those eyes? Why are you opening those eyes, man? - What the fuck? Thank God you guys are saying that. If I said that, that sounds so racist. Why are these Asian people opening their eyes? What's happening with them? - I look at Brock and I'm like, "What are you hiding?" - What is Brock up to? - Brock is one of the- - What are you, the fucking TSA at immigration? Like, what are you up to there? - But then the opposite can be said, right? Of like, when you do finally see his eyes, you're like, "Oh shit."

- Shit's about to go down, dog. - When they open their eyes, you're like, oh shit is going down. That's when they reveal their grand plan. - They mean business when you can see their pupils. - So fucked.

- That's such a weird trope. - Such a weird trope. - Yeah, 'cause I'm trying to- - Good hairstyles. - Yeah, I'm trying to- - What's a hairstyle that you looked at in anime and you were like, "That could probably work in real life." As ridiculous as it looks. - Sasuke, 'cause I did it. - That's true, yeah. - Like I could, as weird as it is, I could imagine someone pulling off like a "Death the Kid" haircut.

- Because it's like, it's just, yeah, I think they have, you know, it's just like white streaks here, right? That go around. Like it'll look weird as fuck, but it's probably the most realistic. - The half hair colors look pretty cool in real life actually. - Oh, like the half half? - Yeah, half half looks pretty sick actually. - Yeah, I've seen people do that.

- What colors do you think, what anime colors do you think work in real life? - Definitely not pink. Like the ones that happen in anime that just flat out- - Meilin's right there. - I guess it works for Meilin. - Just call out Meilin. - You know what doesn't work ever? Blue, like light blue. Like it never, like green. Green looks like ass in real life.

and calling out Jacksepticeye and Crankcake Place. - Yeah, good. They could take it. They're big boys. Why do you think Jack stopped doing it? - Because he got lazy. - Yeah, that too. - It's a lot of management. Does anyone do it aside from streamers and YouTubers? - Yeah, you're gonna reach a fucking ninja. - I don't even wanna know how much dye Ninja had to use. It just doesn't look good in real life. - Yeah. - Does orange look good? - Fuck no.

- 'Cause I'm just thinking about Ichigo and I'm like, damn, Ichigo got drip, but I'm like- - Ginger does though, no ginger. - No ginger though. - Okay, okay, yeah, ginger looks fine, but like- - Fine? Wait, this- - No, no, no. - Ginger, you look fine. - No, no, no, ginger looks great, but like if you're Japanese, then it's a different story. - Oh yeah, it does very depend on- - I think ginger hair on a Japanese person is a little like, whoa, you know? - Yeah. - Yeah, I guess it does depend on the skin complex. - Exactly, exactly. - Yeah.

- I'm sticking to my hair color. - I wanna see someone pull off Gon's haircut from "Hunter Hunter" when he's like an adult. - What the fucking? Someone's done it online. - Have they? - Yeah, someone's done it. I've seen someone do it. - Oh my God. - Google it. I've seen like somebody do it. It was really fucking sick. It was like pretty accurate. - Oh shit, okay. Now I wanna see someone pull off the Homer Simpson haircut. That's what I wanna see in real life. - I'm getting there. - Yeah.

- I wanna see that in real life to be like, all right, it looks fine on Homer, but how does it look on an actual person? Does it look fucking wild on an actual person? Oh my God. - I feel like one studio just always does character designs well, including the haircuts and everything. Studio Trigger, I don't know why. Something about Studio Trigger character designs, they always fucking stand out every single time. And sometimes it always takes like one fucking streak of color

And you're like, okay, that's Riko from "Kill or Kill." I know now. - Yeah, her hairstyle's great. It does reflect her energy as well. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. - I think they're really good at getting the hairstyles that reflect the characters very well. Like if it's slick and cool, the character will be slick and cool. - Literally everyone from like "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" as well. Like everyone looks so distinct.

- Like Lucy's hair and shit in "Sandbox Edgerunners"? - Oh, Lucy's hair, man. I remember first time seeing Lucy's character design, her hair, her like everything. I'm like, damn. - I was like, Trigger still got it, man. Trigger still got it. - I just played that boy scene, it's like perfection. To the minute detail. Perfect. - That's why he's the GOAT! - That's why he's the GOAT! - The GOAT!

- I love that trend. - It's so good. - I fucking love that meme. - Oh my God. - It's all right. - It's all right, I guess.

- We're getting on another fucking tangent. - I have no idea what you're talking about. - We'll show you later. - We'll show you this trend of just like, it's this meme of just using certain- - The Pokemon starters? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Using certain react clips to rate, like, you know, anything. And it's the same- - The Charlie scream is in that one as well. - Yeah, yeah, the Charlie screams in that. - Anyway, that was the final tangent we went on. Hopefully you guys enjoyed this AI generated episode.

- I was impressed with the topics. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Those are better than we know ourselves. - Some of them were very on brand for Trash Taste. - And it brought up a bunch of topics I'm surprised it took us this long to actually talk about. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Very impressed. - Very impressed. We might do this again. Did you enjoy it?

- Would you like to see another AI generated episode? Let us know in the comments. - Would you like to see Trash Taste being slowly overtaken by AI overlords? Let us know in the comments. - Could you even know this was AI generated? I don't know. This just felt like a normal Trash Taste episode for me. - But hey, look at these patrons. - That's so beautiful. - They're not AI generated. - Hopefully. - Hopefully, fingers crossed. - We didn't generate them ourselves.

- Yeah, I mean, we've made this because the last episode where we talked about AI. - Yeah. - We're like, let's give it a go. - Yeah, give it a test. - Give it a go. - It's very scarily accurate. - It's worked out pretty fucking well. - Very good topics, AI, thank you. All right, give us the outro, Connor. - Well, folks, that's all for this episode of our podcast. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you didn't find it too painful.

We'll be back next week with more unfunny content for your enjoyment. Until then, stay safe and keep laughing or not. - Keep laughing or not. That's our new tagline. - That's actually a fucking insane outro. - Yo, on we go. - That's been Chester. See you guys. - Bye.
