- Beer, delicious beer. - Is that our beer? - This is our beer. - I really wish I would have drawn the Trash Taste logo a little bit better. - Why? - I don't know. It's just kind of- - I like it. It's scuffed. - It's kind of scuffed. - It's scuffed. Beer's so good, isn't it? - Yeah. - Liquid bread, huh? - Yes. - Liquid bread. - So good. - All right, well, I'll do the first. - Can we see who can do the best one? - What? - The best. - Oh, the best cracking open? - Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna get them in the right grip. - Getting a cold one open with the boys. - Silence.

- Okay, okay, not bad. - That was cinema. No, no, hold this mic. Look, bad cadence, bad cadence on that one, Garnt. You had a little bit of suspense there and you didn't let it like linger too long. I liked that one. - Yeah.

- Welcome to this episode of Trash Taste, where we're gonna be drinking our own beer. - Cracking open a cold one. - Get a cold one with us, if you're over the legal age, obviously, drink responsibly, cheers. - I don't know if this is even still on sale. We just really like beer. - No, it's not. - No, but you can grab a drink of your choice. - We ordered quite a lot of crates, so hopefully we can have a lot of drinking episodes with our beer to come.

And I got a lot of compliments from people who were like, "I tried the beer, it was actually good." I was like, "Yeah, I know." - What did you expect? - I think it was just like branded. I was like, "No, it's like an actual craft beer." - What, did they think because it was branded trash taste, they would've thought it tastes like shit? - Maybe, maybe. - Yeah, fair enough. - Probably, probably. - Good shit though. - But yeah, we are drinking our own supply. And unfortunately we only have a limited supply because we only ordered so many crates for our own office.

Unfortunately, you can't get these anymore. So this is just for us 'cause we enjoy the beer. - I think we spent a couple of hundred bucks just making sure we had enough. - Yeah. - Wait, no, a thousand. I think a thousand dollars on beer. - Yeah, all up. We have like, what, like six crates upstairs or something? - More, more. - More than that? - We ordered 15 crates.

- Well, we all got some crates to take home. Then we needed enough to last trash taste. - Oh yeah, true, true. - You know what I mean? I know beer says it lasts X amount of time, but I've drank beer that's gone past the date on the can and it tastes fine. - Also, it's just like, we gotta have enough to drink through before we start our next collab because we ran out of beer. - Yeah, exactly. - Exactly. - How can I go back when I've got peak in my hands? This is not an ad by the way.

- Sucking our HRD. - God, we did so good. - Oh God, yeah. - Let me give it another taste. - We are good at that. - Yeah. - Fantastic of that. How are you boys been?

- Yeah, been all right. - Chilling. - Chilling. - Yeah. - Ready to go, ready to fly off to America soon? I don't know when this episode's coming out, but you're going to LA for a month, right? - Probably, yeah. - I think we might already be back by the time this comes up. - Oh really? - Yeah. - So we had a great time.

- Probably. - Yeah, the unfortunate nature of Trash Taste is that sometimes we prerecord. - Yeah, because we're traveling away for, well- - Yeah, I'll be gone for like a month total. - Connor's gone for a month in LA, which- - Well, it's Europe and LA. - Good luck. - Well, three weeks in LA, it's not that bad, okay? A month sounds way longer than three weeks. - I don't know, man. - I'm coping. - Three weeks is still long. - Let me cope. - Wait, you're going to Europe then LA? - Yes. - Jesus Christ. - And TwitchCon, yeah.

- Well, but like that seems more chill though. Just like Europe Twitch contents to be a lot smaller. And I'm mainly going just to hang out with people because Pete's going and some other friends are going too. So kind of excited to just go and chill out there. Which would be nice. - Which one this year? - Rotterdam where we had a live show. Which was probably one of the more unremarkable places. - It was quaint. - Well, it's like,

I think it's more of an, I could be wrong. I think it's more of an industrial area in the Netherlands. - I know, I had a fucking banger croissant there. - We did. - That was my highlight of Rotterdam. - The peak food of Rotterdam. - Honestly, I just want to rent a bike and ride around. You know, when I went to Amsterdam, I tried,

Have you seen these foldable bikes called Bromptons? Have you seen these things? These British foldable bikes. And they're so fucking cool. This is a bike nerd thing now I'm getting on about, but let me show you. - Bromptons? - Yeah, they're these foldable bikes that you can fold to quite a- - Sounds like a suburb in London.

- Where are you from mate? - They fold out to like the one in the second. - Oh, I have seen these. - But like they look how small they fold into on the one cycling weekly on the bottom left of the second. - I have seen this. I didn't know they were called Bromptons. - If you go down as well a little bit, there's another image. Yeah, like that one there. Look at that one. - I thought they were just called foldable bikes. - This is the brand of foldable one. It's so fucking cool 'cause,

I was testing it out, I was like, "God damn, this is so fucking good." 'Cause you can, you know like on the back of a bike, right? You have that little like metal thing where you put all your, you can like tie stuff to. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You have that and then it also has like wheels and then the wheel flips down.

- No, no, no, no, no, it has wheels, but that thing has wheels, right? You flip it down, so the wheel flips in and then you can use that as like a carrying thing. If you're being lazy, you can carry along. - Oh, I see. - 'Cause you can get like different kinds of like travel for it. - You can wheel it around as well, apparently. - The way you just worded that, I've never seen, I was like, I've never seen this. - Sorry, my brain is- - A bike more enthusiastic about having wheels on a bike. - Can you play a video of someone folding a Brompton bike? Just 'cause I think this is gonna be a lot easier to explain. - He's like, "Boys, you're not gonna believe this."

- My bike has wheels. - Why are they comparing? My brother told me about this, right? When he came to visit, he was like, "I really want one of these bikes." I was like, "What is that? Is that like a disease?" And then we were gonna go cycle the Shin-Lami Kaido, which we did. And as I was waiting to go for that, I was waiting in the hotel lobby, this Canadian guy comes up to me and goes, "Oh, hi, Conor, what's up?" I was like, "Yo, what's up, man?" He goes,

"Yeah, I just did the Shin Namikado "because I watched your guys' video." I was like, "Oh, awesome, man. "This is sick." I rode it on the Brompton. I was like, "No fucking way." I was like, "Can I see that thing?" And so I rode on it and I was like, "This does not feel as nice to ride as my bike, "but pretty fucking cool that it folds up "into the size of a backpack "and you can just put it on a train or really easy." - It looks pretty convenient. - Bro, it's so easy to fold.

- Look at this thing, all right, check this out. - All right, all right. - So you just do that, boom. And then that tray on the bottom's got wheels as well, so you wheel around. And then you just undo the thing real quick, comes off. Check this out, check this shit out. - Okay, so you flip it. - Yeah. - All right. - This is the type of shit you get excited as an artist. - Yeah, dude. - Look at the folds on these, man. - Look at the mounting. - Look how compact it gets. It's so convenient. - Look at that.

- Isn't that nuts? - Yeah, that's cool. - That is pretty cool. - That's cool. - Just 'cause living in Japan,

I appreciate anything that can fit into a smaller form. Yes. You know, obviously I've done the Shin-Namikado twice now. And the second time I took my own bike and even the cyclathons, we always took my own bike and it was fine, but it is definitely way more annoying carrying a full, like big bike that is kind of, it doesn't really fold down amazingly. Like you can get it on the bullet train. Yeah. I can, I can take it on a flight, but it's definitely just more cumbersome.

And it's definitely something you have to plan a lot more around. Like I could barely fit it in a taxi. I would have to, when I arrived, I would have to put it in the back, like diagonal over the seats. And then I would have to sit in the front. So it's like, it's like scuffed and it's not fun. Like this would make-

I could do my dream of just traveling around and biking whenever the fuck I feel like it. And it'd be so fun. And I rode it in Amsterdam, it was so fucking fun. - Oh, I bet it would be. - Yeah. - Would it not be like, is that to just rent a bike at that point? - Yeah, but also renting a bike sometimes is kind of annoying. - You don't understand, Garnt, it's about having your own. - Yeah, and also it was kind of annoying in the hotel I stayed at, I didn't have bicycle parking, which is, I've never heard of that in Amsterdam.

And there was no near place to rent a bicycle. So like I'd have to, you know, those kinds of things you have to worry about. Cause you're like, oh, I can just fold it up and take it to my room or like- - So you got to buy a Brompton for- - I kind of want to get a bike just that I could take around and travel with easier. And you can get like suitcase- - You're gonna pack this abroad?

- Dude, it packs so small. They make like these suitcases for them that are like the size of a suitcase. Like the tiny one, like a business one. It looks awesome. I'm just saying, I should get one of these. And this is why you have to convince me that it's a great idea and that I should have done it earlier. - I mean, yeah. - Look at that, look at that. - Bro, do you really wanna travel with more suitcase? - I don't really pack that much though.

- When we traveled, Joey took like this giant giga suitcase and I took this little carry on thing. - No, I'm the same. Nowadays when I travel- - I don't take much. - When I traveled as a kid, I used to be like, oh, how much- - I could fit some clothes in there.

- I can shove some socks and some t-shirts in the side. - What's the minimum I can bring? 'Cause like when I was a kid, yeah, I used to like fill up every suitcase to the brim. And I'm here wondering as an adult, what the fuck did I pack my suitcase with? - You just overpack 'cause you don't travel. And then the more you travel, the more you realize I don't need shit. - Yeah. - I always just bring a suitcase that's, I always leave some extra space just in case wherever I'm going to, I end up buying something. 'Cause I've ran into more situations where I pack

I pack what a suitcase is to the brim, right? Because I want to take the small suitcase and then I buy one thing and it just completely fucks up the whole structure. - But there is a size of a suitcase, especially if you're traveling around Europe, it just becomes,

unsustainable. - Yeah. - You're like this suitcase is just too damn fucking big. It would have been way easier with two small suitcases that I could be a bit more nimble. - No, for sure. - Especially trains, trains in Europe. If you have a suitcase over a certain size, you have to put it in the suitcase thing and you have to watch it.

You can't leave it. If you leave it, you look away for two seconds, the shit's gone. - Yeah. Especially like, you know, just in Europe, in Japan as well. I remember like first time I traveled to Japan, I had like a massive suitcase. - Well now you have to book the suitcase space. - Do you? - Yeah, on the Shinkansen's. - Oh shit. - Oh really? - It depends on what size your bag is. If you want the, if you want to put it in the general suitcase area, you know the one right when you go through the doors, there is room, but,

but you might not get it. - I usually just shove the suitcase in between my legs. - Yeah, that's okay too. A lot of people do that. But if you want the backspace behind the seats, which people used to just take, now you have to book that. Did you not know that? - No, I didn't know that. Well, I haven't traveled with like a massive suitcase on the Shinkansen for a very long time. - So you can book, if I'm not mistaken, 'cause I've booked the backseat a few times 'cause when we do the cycle phones, we had to specifically

three seats that were in the back to fit the bicycles. 'Cause the bicycles can't go anywhere else. - My fucking bicycles getting a seat back. Bicycles traveling better than most Americans. - Oh no, no, no, it goes behind the seat. So you see like that's like on the first image there. You see that spot, you know, in the Shinkansen there's that room. Yeah, so you have to book that now. - What? - Yeah, you have to book that. - That's ridiculous. - So I think you can get the back seat, but you also, I don't think you immediately get that, I think.

I'm not sure, it's a bit weird. - I would think that if you booked that backseat- - You'd get it? - You'd most likely get it because otherwise you wouldn't book the backseat. - Oh yeah, so you can bring your bicycle on. Items that do not require reservation, even if they have total dimensions of more than, oh, okay. - So baby strollers, instruments and bikes. - Oh, so I didn't know bicycles you don't have to require. So one time, yeah, Chris went on and he didn't reserve it. And I was like, you fucking idiot.

I reserved it. God damn. And then he was like, "Oh, I just told the staff and they sorted it out." I was like, "What the fuck?" But I guess it makes sense, right? 'Cause what are they gonna do, kick you off? - Yeah, because it's like, especially if no one is currently using it on your trip and it's just empty, they're not gonna be like, "Yeah, but did you reserve it?"

- I don't think so. - I think they're always very accommodating. They'll try and make it work. But obviously I think it's to avoid people who just get on immediately and just like put it. 'Cause some people used to put tiny suitcases there. And it's like, dude, this guy's got his entire fucking life in this giant suitcase. Give him the fucking spot. But I think people generally don't move once they've put

put their bag there. So I think it was to mainly avoid that, which is fair. It was a good idea. - Yeah, I mean, especially with the amount of like travelers that are coming in the country now, I'm sure there's only more suitcases. - And it is nice having that peace of mind being like, I got the back. I got space for my giant ass luggage. - I don't have to keep an eye on my luggage the entire trip because it's behind me.

- Yeah. - But you can store luggage quite easily in Tokyo. So I think if you were carrying a giant ass suitcase like that around. - I mean, there is a lot of luggage lockers and shit if you need to anyway. - Yeah, you don't need to carry that much. I always tell people like just bring a backpack and bring a big suitcase, leave the suitcase somewhere if you're traveling around for like two, three days. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And then come back to Tokyo and get the rest of your stuff, change the laundry, do all that stuff, right? I feel like that's...

- A life hack. - That's the way to do it. - Top 10 travel Japan tips. - Yeah, traveling Japan is stressful but convenient at the same time. 'Cause you have to follow the rules. There's no like, "Ah, we'll make it work."

Every time I meet a tourist now in the bar who's just traveling around, Chris must be getting so many fucking views now. Every time I talk to someone, I'm like, "Oh, where are you going?" - Oh yeah, the watch Chris. - Everyone's like, "Oh, well, I looked on video and I found this guy called Abroad in Japan." And it's just like, "Fucking hell, okay, okay."

And every time that happens, you'd be like, I fucking hate that guy. - He tells his videos perfectly for those types of tourists. It's like 15 things to do in Osaka. And people, you know, I think for as many people who come to Japan and don't look a lot about Japan, there are, I think a lot of tourists really research everything. And they really wanna know everything. And it kind of intimidatingly so. I don't do that whenever I go anywhere. - We have a friend coming over

and talking to them. So this is like the, you know, everyone has a different style of holiday. This is like the opposite of my type of holiday. - Oh yeah, I can imagine. - Yeah. - So all the shrines and castles and stuff. - No, no, no, no. So they have a spreadsheet

of what they are doing every single day. - My brother did that. - Yeah. - And that just sounds so fucking stressful to me. - Yeah. - Yeah, my mom does that. - Oh my God. - Yeah, I can't do it, man. - I can't, I can't. - I need some fluidity. - Yeah, yeah. - I want to have a little bit of discovery and mystery in the holiday sometimes, especially if you're going to a new area.

Yeah, like everyone has a different style as I said, but the idea of like going to a new place and having my schedule already entirely booked out, 'cause I get it. Some people have had like really bad experiences of going somewhere new and they don't know what to do and they ended up not doing much, but sometimes I need that mystery in there

to really appreciate the discovery of the new place. - You do have to book a lot of things now in Tokyo. - Yeah, yes, that is true. - Like if you wanna do the Disney or Ghibli or any of that stuff, you gotta book all this shit like a month in advance at least. - Sometimes more. - Yeah, I mean, I understand why there's a lot of anxiety around it. But I mean, I just like eating.

- I'm fine with just the vibes. Like when Sydney's parents came here, Sydney's family came here, we went to Universal.

They wanted to see Nintendo Land really bad. Didn't know that you had to like pre-book the tickets beforehand. - You gotta book everything, Sonic. - Yeah, yeah, you have to book everything. But we had a great time just enjoying the vibes, you know? We didn't need to see every attraction, didn't need to queue up for- - I had to like beg my brother to chill. I was like, please. But he didn't. He was like, no, I wanna like min-max everything. And he had a spreadsheet and he had like every like,

an hour accounted for and he loved it. - But did he actually end up following that to the team? - He did, yeah. - He did? - He was here for two weeks, spent like two days in Tokyo. I was like, dude, Tokyo is pretty fun. We can do a lot in two days. I was like, you know, you can chill. And he's like, I don't wanna be in the city. I was like, it's not that bad. It's pretty good. And then he went everywhere. He went everywhere.

- Like everywhere, like outside of Tokyo and stuff? - Well, he didn't go to like, I think he did a speed run of all the tourist things. His reasoning was I want to speed run all the tourist things this vacation, so the next time I come back, I can explore more and do other stuff. - What is even the tourist things in Tokyo anymore? - Not Tokyo, Japan. He went to like Miyajima, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima,

He went to Fuji. He literally hit like the- - Damn, he did- - Every single tourist thing you should do, he hit it. And again, he told me, I think it was along the lines of, yeah, he wanted to do it all so the next time he comes, he can really like hang out a bit more in Tokyo with me, maybe explore some other rural areas of Japan now that he knows it a little better, which I think is a good approach, honestly. That's why when my parents came, I was like, "I'll take you to Kyoto."

'Cause Kyoto is where I just don't wanna go. I just don't wanna go there. But you know, they didn't really like it, which I was kind of happy about. - They didn't like it? - No, they didn't like it. - 'Cause it was too overcrowded or? - They just didn't really care about shrines. I get it, if you don't, it's kind of like- - If you don't care about the history, then it's whatever, right? - Yeah. - I don't really care about shrines. - I don't really either. I mean, it's visually cool, but after you've seen two, you're like,

- It's like, okay. It's a shrine. It's a, I don't know. - It's gotta be like for me now, like I don't mind shrines, but obviously a lot of them are the same. But like it's the shrines that you find where it's kind of in a completely different environment. It looks completely different or something. Like those are the ones that where I'm still like, okay, that's pretty cool. - Yeah, yeah. I think shrines that are not like tourist attractions. - Yeah, but if it's like, you know, oh, here's another shrine in the mountains.

- I mean, it's obviously the person that they're preserving it. - No, no, no. - Actually they should, but like as a- - I'm not against it. I'm just like, I would rather do something else. - Yeah, me too. I'm like, I'm good. I'm good. - It's the same for me whenever I go to Thailand and someone asked me what to do. And I go through like, I generally sometimes I'm like, I don't actually know what everyone else recommends. So sometimes I Google and it's like 10 million different temples or what?

And I'm like, bro, it's just, they're all the fucking same, man. - Yeah, it's like going to churches in the UK. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. - You'll see a bunch. I mean, some of them are pretty cool and have some great artwork, but after a while you kind of get the vibe. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like, hey, I used to come here every Sunday and this other building looks kind of reminiscent to that building, you know?

But yeah, I mean, churches can be cool. - Can be, yeah, I think, yeah. - The churches in Nagasaki are pretty interesting. - Yeah, I imagine so. Yeah, obviously they had a lot of Christian influence there. - Yeah, 'cause Nagasaki had the biggest Christian population for a long time. So there's a lot of churches that are still preserved there. That's pretty interesting purely because of the fact that you're in a very Japanese city and then there's just suddenly a street

full of churches. - Yeah. - And like, it's interesting to see like, okay, well I know how, well like a normal church looks like in the Western countries, but like what's the Japanese interpretation of it? And just like seeing that difference is quite interesting. And it's just also weird that like right next to the Nagasaki Chinatown, there's just a,

And I'm like, this is a real- - For God we want. - Yeah, this is a real clash of cultures right now. - Yeah, Nikeslake is a really cool place. - Yeah, Nikeslake is cool. - God, I fell down the weirdest rabbit hole on YouTube shorts the other day. - Go on. - Well, my homepage is unusable now because I'm-

I found on this rabbit hole of creationist YouTube. - Yep, that is correct. What the fuck are you doing watching creationist? - Okay, I was just like- - You're curious? - I was curious. - Fair enough. - Because I got recommended this one show and it was just like this guy being like, "You need to listen to this." And like, I thought it was like a science video, right? Because that's how they present themselves. And it was just this guy.

Darwinism, evolution. - Darwinism? - Yeah, Darwinism, whatever it is. - Evolutionism. - Yeah, it was like disproving Darwin evolution. And it was, you know, the argument basically boiled down to, well, we can't see evolution right in front of us. There's no proof of evolution. There's only like fossils and stuff, but we haven't actually seen within our lifetime, therefore,

- But how fast does he think evolution happens? - It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. - It's like my grandfather had two arms and I have four now. It's just how it works. - That's what the scientists want you to think, Joe. - That's evolution. - That's what the scientists want you to think. But yeah, it was like, I was like, I was curious because similar to like any like flat earthers or any other,

big conspiracy theory or anything like that. To me it's more like very curious about how someone genuinely thinks this way. - Yeah. - How would you have a belief system that has molded you into like,

actually thinking this way and you can be religious. I'm a religious guy. You can be religious, you can believe in gods and everything like that. But there is a big difference between believing in religion,

believing there's a God out there to some of the beliefs that I saw in these videos, which was basically fuck science. Science doesn't prove anything. So we're gonna make our own science. - I remember I saw like an argument that a creationist was trying to prove about like same thing with like evolution. And then someone said like, okay, well then how do you explain like dinosaur fossils?

'cause like we have carbon dating and stuff like that, like that's scientifically backed up. And I think the general retaliation to that from a creationist side of thing is, oh, God put those there to test our faith. And I was like, okay, but like, that's like, you could say that about anything. - Why would God be so obsessed with testing our faith all the time? What's up with that? - Yeah, it's like, he doesn't trust us?

- Well, we ain't trustworthy, Joey. - I'm going to church every Sunday and this motherfucker still doesn't trust me? - We objectively do too many bad things. We have fucked up so much. I don't think there's any redeeming us. I don't think that's the test.

- There's gotta be some other tests. - God's like these hoes ain't loyal, I'm gonna test them out. - Yo, you for the streets? - You better not let me put you out onto the streets. I'm testing you right now. - I don't know, man. - It's just weird seeing all these beliefs kind of clash where they would normally be kind of a little more

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, 'cause I was talking to Sidney about it because I was also curious why a lot of this seems to be very America centric. Like obviously there are cults and everything all over the world, but America is a place where you can have something like Scientology, for example, where it's just, you know,

- To me, I see something like Scientology and for the longest time, it was like a skit on South Park or something like that. Something I didn't actually believe was a big thing. And then as when I grew older, I've realized, oh, this actually has big following with a lot of- - Huge following. - Huge following. - I mean, South Park, I think like destroyed their reputation. I think at least publicly. - I mean, South Park are pretty good at that. - Yeah, I think it's like before that everyone was too scared to talk about them.

- Oh really? - Yeah, I mean, they're still around. - They're still around, but I think they've suffered like a lot of, I think the numbers are dwindling. I'm pretty sure, can you Google it? But I'm pretty sure they lose members more than they gain members. - Yeah. - Mainly because, I think 'cause like, what was it? They gated a bunch of knowledge behind buying more. - Yeah. - And then South Park just, when their episode, I think they actually released

where they mentioned what a lot of the knowledge was. And so then I think a lot of people who were in it were like, hold up, is this really the next fucking step of knowledge, this? Wait, I meant like Google Scientology. - Yeah, how many Scientology members there are? How many Scientology members are there? What do Scientologists believe in? - It was something to do with aliens coming to earth.

- Yeah, there's only 40,000 members. - I mean, I would argue that's still- - Oh, it's growing? Really? I thought it was shrinking. - Experiencing. - Wait, who's that by? - By the Scientologist. - Yeah, I don't know about- - It's the world's fastest growing religion. - How many of the Scientologists have peaked? 100,000. - Okay, in the early 90s. - Dip to about 20,000. - It was around in the early 90s?

- Yeah, and early 90s is when it was at its peak, 'cause then obviously the South Park episode came around, what, early 2000? - Yeah, can you Google what do Scientologists believe?

- I am genuinely curious. - Yeah. All I know is aliens are involved. Okay, Scientology describes itself as a study and handling of the spirit in relation to itself, others and all of life. Scientists also believe that people have innate yet suppressed power and ability, which can be regained if cleared or unwanted behavioral patterns and discomfort. That just sounds like- - I mean, again, it's all of these types. - It literally sounds like men. - That was a whole paragraph of absolutely nothing.

- Yeah, scientists just believe that people are immortal alien beings called Thetans who have forgotten their true nature and are trapped on earth in a human body. - I think a lot of these religions or whatever, I don't even think it's fair to call it a religion,

predatory ways of getting people who needed help in one way or another. And they told them, "Hey, this can solve all your problems." - No, but I'll say, I don't know, man. Like I look at this, right? Like, you know- - But you weren't told that right away. That's not what you were told. They didn't open up with that originally. - So how does a Scientologist convince someone who's down in the dumps to be like, "Listen-" - From my understanding, it was along the lines of like, you do a test and they'd be like, "Look, this is what's wrong with you."

And we can help fix this if you join us. And then we can teach you how to regain control of your powers and your body.

And then as you would join, you would learn more information about it. That was the design of it before. Obviously all of it got leaked from past members. - Yeah. - There's a Wiki how of how to join Scientology. 12 steps with pictures. - Well, this is like, obviously, yeah. But you have to bear in mind, like back in like the nineties, this was all shrouded in mystery. No one knew what they did. And then obviously when,

back then as well, they used to cease and desist anyone that would talk about them. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So, you know. - I mean, yeah, definitely like, you know, the internet coming around has certainly made a lot of people who were in these like, you know, cults and religions realize. - I don't know everything about it, so I have no idea. - Yeah, but no, it is fascinating. - Yeah, I mean, I've known,

I've known people who have joined cults before. - What? - What? - Yeah. - Who do you know who joined a cult? - This person, they joined a cult, right? And viewing this cult from the outside, I know exactly why this person had joined a cult because there was a moment where they lost a very, very close family member and unfortunately they were,

in a position of just need, basically. Just looking for something. And that's how a lot of these cults get people. - Absolutely. - Totally. - They give,

or they give like internal fixes to a lot of problems that people are looking for when they're going through the lowest of the lows. - Especially like this group of people obviously are very welcoming generally. 'Cause if you're willing to join, they're like awesome. Please join us. And obviously there's that instant level of community and warmth that they offer.

to people who really, really need it. - Yeah, exactly. - But obviously it's not based on anything genuine. It's based upon- - It's based on feelings. - You need to believe in this weird thing that we believe and there's probably some very weird strings attached at some point possibly maybe, you know. It's all quite predatory.

But at the same time, if they're not doing anything bad, like there are some cults where they just don't do anything. There's just a bunch of odd people. It's like, all right, fine. You're not hurting anyone. You all seem to take care of each other. - At that point it just becomes like no different to like a fan club. It's just a bunch of people with similar interests coming together and embracing their lives. - There was that one Japanese dude who had like, that was in the 90s or something, he had his own cult of women.

who were his followers, but he didn't have any kids with them. And they all said that there was nothing weird going on. All of them promised there was nothing weird going on. Do you remember this one? I forgot what it, do you remember what it's called? - It's about half the cults it likes. So I want multiple wives. - Yeah, honestly, I think most, it does seem like most cults start from horny dudes who wanna cheat, but have reason to do it. What the fuck are those guys doing? - I don't know.

And then, you know, the guy eventually passed and these women all kept doing it together. They kept the group together even when he passed. Said, look, no one else is gonna, no men are gonna join and we're gonna run like a cafe together. So they all run a cafe somewhere in like Osaka or something. But it was like a big thing in the news at one point because they thought that the guy kidnapped. Yeah.

- Yeah. - The girls, but then all the girls were like, "No." - Oh, they were there willing. - "We wanna be here." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - "Just chill." But apparently they live in like really bad conditions at one point. - I mean, I recently interviewed a dude who's- - That didn't seem like a cult. That seemed like a horny guy. It was kind of a, that guy seemed weird. - No, no, he- - I'm sure he could have started a cult. - No, he was definitely, no, no. So the guy I interviewed didn't start the cult, his dad did.

- Okay. - And he was, so I, the video should be up. - I couldn't stand the guy. It was hard to watch. - Yeah, so the guy, the guy, his dad was the one who started this cult.

And he was supposed to be the successor 'cause he was the first born. But then he was like, "No, this is fucking weird. I'm dipping out." And he was just basically saying like, yeah, a lot of these cults in Japan, especially that started in like, you know, the late eighties, early nineties and stuff like that. - Yeah. - They all kind of use the same tactic of like, you know,

some kind of like one person being the mediator of like a heavenly superpower or something and like basically becoming like the Oracle of some kind and trying to inform people of their ways and stuff. And I think the cult is still around even though the leader is like dead now, but- - So how does the cult beliefs tie into him having multiple?

- Wives. - So. - He's horny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So at least in the case with the guy I interviewed, I think it was a different cult, but he also had like what he called secretaries.

- There was no concrete evidence that he was like, was or wasn't sleeping with these women, but he certainly had a lot of these secretaries around at all times that were like kind of controlling everything he did and like said and stuff like that. But-

- Yeah, but the most fucked up thing was like, you know, like this leader would, you know, go around saying to his followers being like, you know, like, "Oh, the spirit of Jesus Christ has entered my body and is telling me that you have an illness and in order to fix this illness, you have to pray and buy this thing off of the cult that will like help cure all of your sicknesses." - Of course, of course.

- Yeah, just that kind of stuff. - Obviously, I think Japan has, I think a really high ratio of cults. - Yes. - Why do you think Japan is so susceptible or has so many cults? - Because so many people are looking for a fix to their lives. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And especially considering the fact that like Christianity is just basically non-existent in this country. I think people are just trying to find that like one thing to like clutch onto when they're down in the dumps, right? And unfortunately,

rather than Christianity, which is a tiny, tiny, tiny minority in Japan, the thing that usually pops into their lives before that are these shady cults. - Well, what's the main religion in Japan? - It's Buddhism, Shintoism, yeah. - Shintoism. - Yeah. - That's not really a practiced religion. It's more of a, I think I saw an interesting thing that was like 90% of Japanese will go to shrines, but something like 90% don't identify as religious.

So like people don't see going to the shrine as being religious. Even though in like Western culture- - It's more like a lifestyle. - Yeah, or like spirituality is. Like a lot of people if you went- - Or like a Japanese custom that everyone should abide by. - Like if you went to church to pray once a month, people would think you're pretty religious. - Yeah, so there we go. 48% are Shinto, 46% are Buddhist and 1% are Christian. - Hey, I mean, that's still a lot of followers. - That's still a lot.

Yeah, I mean, like, I mean, I think partly to do with like, I don't know much about Shintoism traditionally, but I know Buddhism doesn't really, I would say Buddhism in like, compared to a lot of other religions is much closer to like a lifestyle because we don't really believe in,

- It's not a single gods, it's more about the way you live your life. - Isn't it kind of like some branches of Christianity though where like there are obviously a lot more intense versions of Buddhism depending on where you are. - Oh yeah, yeah.

- Very, very- - Like stoic Buddhism. - Very intense forms of Buddhism that are maybe not so chill as they're painted out to be in Western media. - Well, I think that's- - It's kind of a spectrum, right? - That is, it's I guess the same as like a lot of religions. A lot of people have done things in the name of religion in the past. - Did you see that YouTube?

- You know one of those YouTubers? I don't wanna say his name 'cause I don't wanna give him any credit for anything ever. The one who did the video where he's like, "I'm gonna go across Japan without paying." - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - He's just got elected to European Parliament. - What? - Yeah. - What? - Yeah. - You're talking about the guy who like got on the Shinkansen supposedly for free, right? - Yeah, he's in the European Parliament. - How?

- Type it in, YouTube becomes European Parliament. - How did this happen? - How did that happen? - He's from, I think Croatia. - Okay. - And he's running as an independent. I guess he somehow won the seat. I have no idea how. Yeah, look at this. Yeah, the news article there. - The BBC one there? - Not Croatia, sorry, Cyprus. - Cyprus. - He's from Cyprus. - YouTube pranks devoted in a Cyprus MEP. - I didn't even know he was running, but yeah, he won somehow. - He won? - Well, he got the third largest number, which gave him a seat.

- What's happening inside for us, brother? - Yeah, and that guy has like one of the most awful thumbnails on YouTube. It's the one where he goes, "I survived a hundred hours in Africa." It's just him surrounded by- - Wasn't he the guy who was just like, "I went to the poorest place on earth." - Yeah, that was it. That was the one. - He was just like, "Wow, look at these kids." - Yeah, so he's in the European Parliament making some key decisions in-

Something has gone wrong with this world. - We shouldn't give YouTubers this much power. - There are certain YouTubers and then there are- - Just the world. - Look at this, oh my. - Oh God. - Look at this thumbnail. Where is it? - God, God. - There it is, that one. There it is. - Oh my God. - There it is. - That's horrible. - Look at that. That's the guy who's in your parliament. - That's horrible. - Everyone thought MrBeast would be president.

- This is not the timeline I thought we'd be in, I'll be honest with you. - Jesus Christ. - I can't believe this. This is absolutely shocking. - Who voted for this bugger? - Apparently 20%. - What the fuck? - Isn't that insane? - 19.4%. How bad were the other candidates?

- Did he just go on like a big campaign or something? - Does that speak to the power of influence and influences is kind of worrying in a sense where politics can be impacted now. - It's very worrying. - Yeah. - There are some other YouTubers, I don't really want to get into it much 'cause I don't really want to work the politics behind it. But there are some other YouTubers who are also running the seats in other areas of the world.

- This is like the next level of like prank YouTubers. They'll be like, "Ha ha, just a prank, I'm making decisions for your country." - Well, we had the people that did a bunch of the London mayoral elections. A bunch of people ran as kind of jokes.

but none of them were running seriously. And now we're starting to get some that are actually running seriously and pulling in numbers, which, you know, if the current option is terrible, I guess, sure. But when the YouTuber running is one of the worst pieces of human garbage, it's certainly a bit more worrying. - Like legit, how bad were the other candidates? - I don't know. I don't understand how you could vote for this man.

- Actually awful. - Maybe they don't, maybe they don't, aren't even aware that he was like a content creator, you know? Maybe some people were voting just being like, oh, there's just this like younger dude, you know, trying to get a seat or whatever. - Hard to imagine the opponents wouldn't pounce on that. - Yeah, I'm wondering if he did make content on this or if it was,

I don't know enough about this new story to like- - Isn't this insane? - I just- - Isn't this actually insane? - This headline itself just feels like a non-unitical. - Dystopian. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, in the same article, literally at the bottom of it, "YouTube is sorry for freeloading stunt in Japan."

- Oh yeah, yeah. Do you really want the guy making decisions? He was like, "Oh, it's only eight yen. I don't wanna pay it. It's only eight yen." - Yeah. - You most definitely had the money, fuck off. - Yeah. - God damn it, so annoying, innit? - It was for a prank, innit? It was for a stunt, it was for a stunt. - Yeah, he was like, "I'm joking." - How dystopian do you think the world's gonna get? Do you think everyone's like- - It's hard to have faith in the world right now, I can't.

- Well, it's always weird whenever you watch a movie from like the 80s or something, and then it's like this depiction of the future, of their image of the future. And there's been so many examples now where the year has come up and our future looks nothing like the future of let's say,

- "Back to the Future" or something like that. You know what I mean? Where it's past the year where they've traveled to the future and yet we are still- - Where's my hoverboard, bro? - Where's my hoverboard, right? - I want it. I want the hoverboard. Where is it?

- Do we really want flying cars though? That just sounds- - No, that's gonna result in so many accidents. Are you kidding me? Like people can barely drive cars with wheels. - Well, they would all be automated, Joey. We wouldn't be able to drive them. - I mean, that's true. - It is weird. I don't have a lot of faith right now.

In a lot of places. Like, is there anything positive coming up in our lifetimes that we have a hint of right now? No, populations are getting older. This episode is sponsored by Shopify.

- Taxes are getting higher. - Inflation. - Inflation's getting higher. - Well, populations are getting older, but people are not having babies. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - We're doing great, guys. - It is a little bit worrying. - Yeah. - But we'll figure it out. - Do you think the reason meme culture is so prevalent right now is it just like a global cope?

- Yeah, I mean, I think memes reflect the time. And I think now we're in a very aggressive and kind of harsh age of memes where everything is kind of a really dark joke. - Yeah. - Kind of a bit mean, spirited, I'd say. - Oh my God, have you seen the recent fucking, speaking of dark humor, have you seen the recent like dark humor trend that's happening on TikTok right now? - No.

- Oh my God. - You have the word trend and TikTok. - Yeah, I'm already kind of checked out. - I'm already like this sounds bad. - I was made aware of it from some other people who are definitely more on trend with that. But there's this whole trend going around about like dark humor, which is basically like, I guess like kids today, like trying to cope with like some actual terrible shit that has happened, but then just passing it off as dark humor.

So like there were ones where it's like, I saw one which went like really, really viral and started this whole thing, which was like what my dad did. And then it's like a carousel on TikTok. You know how there's like carousels on TikTok like Instagram? It's like the first one is like what my dad did and it slides over and it's like killed my mom. And it's like what my mom did, didn't dodge a bullet. And I'm just like, what the fuck?

You should talk to someone about this bro. Like this, you shouldn't be putting this up on TikTok. - I was kidding. - For likes. And people are like, and people thought, looked at that and thought like, yeah, I can do something similar like that. And now it's become this trend on TikTok. I'm like, what the hell is happening? What is happening on TikTok right now? Like I already wasn't taking this shit, this app seriously and all the trends that were happening seriously. And now it's just like gotten to the point where like,

I'm just like, okay guys, we have to start making clear distinctions of what we can turn into memes and what we need to take to our therapist. Like this is too far. - Maybe memes are the new therapy. - No, no, maybe. - I think if I had a pretty bad event or something that was quite traumatic, I think I would be making those kind of jokes. - Really?

- I think so. - I wouldn't. - I think it's the only way I know how. - Yeah, everyone processes trauma differently. And sometimes you just gotta like make, you know, sometimes you just joke about it, even though it's just a way to try and like cope with the feelings of that traumatic situation. I mean, unfortunately it seems like

whoever this kid is, I wouldn't even know how to process that shit. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? - I'll tell you what though, the first thing I will not be doing is thinking to myself, this could be a banger TikTok right now. - Like if I had like, for some reason I had a surgery,

that like my asshole had to be like closed shut. I would hope that you would take every available opportunity to make fun of that. And I also will myself. I mean, I'm gonna shit my, I can't actually. - It's like bad news guys, Connor's not an asshole anymore. - First, first, first, you gotta make sure that you're okay. It's not life-threatening. - Yeah, once we find out it's not. - Yeah, then we make fun of each other. - Then we will, yeah. - No, I get that. - I think it just feels weird because

we're not in on the joke, but I think what makes it kind of compelling for a lot of people to watch is that everyone is always dealing with something. And then I'm sure for someone seeing them joke about their dad shooting their mom or something is as horrific as that is. Maybe it's slightly weirdly comforting to someone who's going through something really fucking tough, who then is like, well,

They have it way worse than me. And that's, they seem like they're dealing with it. So like, and it's kind of a comforting thing because like often we don't get to talk about it. You know, a lot of people, when they say like, you're right, they don't want to know if you're all right. Yeah. Right. So I think being able to,

- Me included. - Speak for yourself actually. - It's like uncouth in Britain. If you ask someone, are you okay? And they actually say anything other than, yeah, I'm all right. If you actually say, nah, I'm not doing good. They're like, what the fuck's wrong with you? Clearly something I didn't ask. - But like in America, it's like, you can actually say, yeah, I've been going through a tough time. I'm like, that's so alien to me as like a Brit. - So I think this is kind of some very unique way of,

it's kind of new to all of us they're just coping with i'm sure they thought when the 60s they thought the same thing about like in the 2000s like why is this kid obsessed with finding nemo all the time what's up with that is he coping with something he's just a fish he's a fucking fish i don't get it it's not even real i don't know that's a terrible comparison but i'm sure there's some kind of equal equal comparison we didn't understand why and i have faith you know like i i think that

We are very dumb as kids, but think about how quickly you matured and you realized how fucking stupid you were. I'd like to think that's gonna happen. I have faith in humanity. - Okay, well, I still think I'm dumb. - Speak for yourself, yeah. - I don't think I do as many cringey things as I used to. - What are some cringey things that you did then? Like if you think you've grown up, what are some things you did that you think were cringe?

- I have two words for you. Black ball. - Black ball. Hold on. The quidditch started way before that, Joey. - I have two words for myself. Corpse party. - No, no. See, I remember I have this vivid memory

- What are the thoughts that keep you up at night? - I have this vivid memory when I was, I don't know, 13 and it was in the MSN days. Sorry to the Zoomers watching us who don't know what MSN is, but I'm sure most of you know what MSN is. And I was talking to a girl in our school

And I knew she didn't like me, 100% I knew. But one of my friends was like, "Just ask, what's the worst thing that could happen?" 'Cause I liked her, but it was just a dumb idea. There was no sign remotely that she was interested. And for some reason I put myself out there and then I never heard the end of it for like a month. And so that was just stupid and I cringe.

because now I'm like, God damn it Connor. There was no fucking sign. There was no green light saying, go ask her out. You know what I mean? You're supposed to look and pay attention to be like, I think they're into me. There has to be something tangible here. But no, they were just replying out of courtesy.

They weren't interested in me 'cause I was playing RuneScape and we didn't connect at all. - But when you're 13, like does any 13 year old kid have like a hint of that? - But to be fair, I think the stakes are worse when you're 13. - Oh yeah. - Because I was like, I just made fun of- - You're just providing ammunition. - I get made fun of for like two months. If I get rejected now, it's like, that's all right. The worst you could say is no, the meme.

- Well, also I think like cringe, what is cringe and what is acceptable has probably changed over time. - Yeah. - It always changes. I'm sure back, I'm sure in the 1300s. - Did you use the wink emoji when you were like a kid? - Of course. - I used the fucking semi colon three all the time. The winky cat emoji. - Of course you did. - That is just your energy to a T. - That's my energy. - That is like, ooh. - I spammed small X, big D.

- Oh, you did the small X, big D. - I spammed X, D. - I was the big X, big D. - I'm still a fan of X, D. - Do you remember the universally most worst emoji of all time? - What? - Colon capital L. It's just not a good indication of laughing. - Wait, what? - Colon capital L? - Colon capital L? - It was like laughing on Facebook. - Was it? - Yeah. - Not colon capital D? - No, it was colon capital L as well. - What? - I've never used that before. - What emotion is that? - That's like, yeah, put it.

- What emotion is that? That's like a- - No, colon capital D. - Colon capital L. - Colon capital L emoji, just type that in. - Yeah, let's see this. - See, I look at- - That was for laughing.

- No, if I see cold capital, I see a tongue. I see someone like, it's like, no, I see someone drooling from the side of the mouth. - No, but that's what on Facebook, I swear to God they use that. - I've never seen anyone use that before. - Maybe it was, I don't know man. - Who taught you that? - That's an L. - The fact that it's not appearing anywhere is driving me insane. Why am I crazy? Did I use this?

- Maybe that was just like colon. - Can you Google is colon with L and emoji? Please, I'm not crazy.

- Do you think like- - Oh, there we go, there we go. - It's a laughing face. - Yes. - Widely used in MSN. - MSN. - Yeah. - I have never seen that. - I've never seen that. - And then the top comments are, "I've never seen this." This is 13 years ago. - What the fuck? - Hi, I see Al used a lot on Facebook, MSN, et cetera, et cetera, but what does it actually mean? This is the student rooms. This is a UK- - Yeah, it must be a UK specific board. - Oh, the colon P I used to use a lot as well. - Yeah, colon P. - Scroll down.

- It's generally a laughing emoticon. - Scroll down again. - What? - What? - Widely used MSN emoticon. - I never. - Yeah, see, I don't know why. I use this all the time. - Is it like L for laughing? - Yeah, L for laughing. - Oh yeah, it's just L for laughing. - Yeah, L for laughing. You type L, 'cause it was like, instead of doing LOL, 'cause back then, LOL was Boomer. - Yeah, no, but that's what the XD was for.

- Well, I used XD for like, ha ha ha. - I feel like, I don't know if I'm wrong, I felt like XD came a little later on. - Did it? - XD came out later on. - Isn't that crazy? - Yeah, yeah. - The new patch hadn't dropped yet. We didn't know XD yet. - People didn't realize that you could use an X for the eyes. - I guess this is like the five year difference where LOL was a- - Maybe it was.

- March 28th, I don't know. It's really hard to know back then 'cause it was so dependent on country as well. - Yeah, country usage was an entire... Oh my God, the fucking uppercase like smiley face. - I love that one. - Oh my God, I forgot about that. - People still use that. I occasionally still see that. - No, again, I had a version of that which was definitely my energy. Instead of the underscore, it was the lowercase w.

- Oh my God. - I mean, I feel like- - So fucking Joey. - I feel like XD- - You were always a furry. - I was. - I feel like XD hasn't gone out of fashion. It's just evolved into an actual emoji. That's just like the crying face, basically. The crying laughing face. You still like the same context of usage. - My favorite emoji is the sob emoji now though. - Sob? - Yeah, the sob. - The crying with the tears. - Oh. - Oh yeah.

- Oh yeah. - She's so versatile. - Yeah. - No, but what about like in the ASCII world? Like just with like the character. - In the ASCII? - My one is OTL, 100%. - What the fuck is OTL? - I did not understand OTL until like five years ago. - You know OTL? - I don't know OTL. - It's a man like on the floor like. - It's a man with like his hands

- Can you type that in? - Yeah, O-T-L, no, just look at it. No, no, you do all caps. - Capital O-T-L. - Okay, okay. - Look at it, look at it. - It's a man doing- - Look at the emoji. It's a man like praying. Yeah, like that. - That is some fucking Picasso abstract art. - You didn't know this? - Orz as well, Orz as well was another one. - I have never seen this before. - I can't believe you didn't know this. - What? - This was everywhere. - I used this all the time. - No, I've never seen this before. What the fuck? - Yeah, right? - Wait, wait, what context would you use this in?

It's like, oh, I'm gonna be late for school OTL. - Yeah, or like- - Wait, wait, wait, how does that make sense? - Anything like great pain or misery. - Yeah. - 'Cause you're on the ground. - Or it's like, if your friend messages you being like, oh, you're gonna come out tonight or something, then you'd be like, no, I can't, OTL.

- That's a good times. - Also do you have any cringe repressed memories from your childhood of things you did? - I'm trying to think right now. I guess I can't remember them off the back of my head because they are repressed for a reason. - They're definitely repressed. - Yeah, I mean, what haven't I talked about on Trash Taste before that's, I mean. - I don't know, man, I was kind of based.

- Shut the fuck up. - Shut the fuck up, Joe. - Okay, okay, question then. How many of your embarrassing stories or cringe stories involve alcohol as a percentage? - I think I have more cringe stories as a grownup than I do as a kid. - Yeah, I think so. - Yeah, I think so too. - Well, I think 'cause I burned them into my brain more. I was really good at moving on from them. Now I'm like, fuck!

- I mean, most of my cringe stories I've already told on the podcast and most of them- - But I'm just like percentage. - Most of them involve shitting myself. - Okay, well I'm asking like, what's the percentage of cringe stories you remember as adults versus- - You ever piss yourself? - Kiss myself? - Yeah.

- Definitely. - In fact, I did it in a couple of months. - I've never pissed myself. - Wait, a couple of months ago? - Why did you piss yourself? - Because I was waiting at a bar and I was busting to go to the toilet and this motherfucker didn't come out of the toilet. And so like for a split second, my colon was like, nope. And I just went a little like in my pants. But it was to the point where like,

It wasn't like a little like pee stain on the undies. It was like proper, like running down my leg shit. - What the fuck? How did you, what did you do? - Well, I fucking finally went into the toilet after like expecting my colon to fucking burst. I took my pants off and I went to the sink and I just started like washing my leg with soap and I dried that shit off. And then I was like, well, there's nothing I can do about the undies. - You're so nasty dude. - I mean, I went home right after, so it was fine, but.

- Yeah, that was bad. - The only time I even kind of pissed myself was I was so nervous for a race in sports day. - That's somehow worse than mine. - I was like 12. I remember it vividly. I was on the starting line. We were all lining up and I really wanted to win it. That's why I was so nervous.

And it was the 200 meter, I remember it so vividly, the 200 meter sprint. - I was just losing it. - I lined up and then all the kids were coming over to line up and then I got in position. And then as I got in position, I was like, "Holy shit, there's piss right on my leg."

- Not like a lot though. It was just a tiny amount. At that point I didn't really need to pee. I was so nervous. - It was a bodily pain. - That I literally lost control of my bladder. - Wow. - I've never had that before. - I haven't been scared much in my life, but that was the only time I've been like nervous and peed. So that was weird. And it wasn't a much, it was like a tiny little bit. And then immediately went on to win the race. So it was worth it.

So I shed those extra pounds. - That's what I was missing. I didn't piss myself before my sports day. - Yeah, I smashed it. - That's why I came off. - You're carrying all that weight. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. - But I think also I was fucking tired. I was nervous and tired 'cause right before that I'd won the 100 meter. And then it was right after they had the genius idea of like,

"Let's do the 200 right after the 100." I mean, that makes sense. - It's the next progression in numbers. - Because obviously it won't be the same people who are fast. So I had to immediately do it and I was knackered and tired and I lost control of my bladder and pissed myself. - That's so funny. - No one knew 'cause it was like, so it wasn't enough piss. It wasn't like a faucet.

- Yeah. - Could you imagine? It was just a tiny little bit that ran down my leg and then I was like, fuck. - It's just like a dark yellow stain under your feet. - No, I think it was so hydrated out. Luckily for me, it was a clear piss. But I definitely was pissing. It wasn't like a, and it wasn't much at all. It was like a three second stream that I cut off when I realized it was going on. - That's what it was like for me as well a couple months ago. - Oh, that's not too bad then. - It was just like a half second stream. - You just envisioned the whole like,

- Yeah. - I just envisioned your bladder and poop control is just like the worst I've ever seen on earth. - I think it's an illness. - Have you been around a drunk person who's pissed themselves? - No. - You pissed yourself? Were you drunk? - That story I just told them a couple of months ago, I was shit faced. - Okay, so now this story makes a little more sense. - I wasn't sober. - I was drunk as shit. - Okay, okay. - Waiting for a dude to finish in the bar. - No, I mean, have you ever seen like a guy full on,

- Full on piss himself sitting there. - Oh yeah. - You've seen it? - Absolutely. - I have never seen it. - Never seen it? - No. - I watched a dude piss himself in his seat. - Oh my God. - Like he's just sitting there and then we're just chilling. We were at a friend's place in like the back patio, you know, in front of like, you know, just all sitting at the table like this and we're just chatting, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I just hear like water splashing.

And I was like, what the fuck, what's happening? Like, you know, I thought maybe he like left the hose on in the backyard or something. He's like, nope, I looked down and my man is just pissing as he's talking. It's almost as if he wasn't aware that he was pissing himself. - I've heard that a few times of drunk people pissing while talking and not realizing. - I've never seen that before. - Have you not? - Like you get so drunk that you don't even realize you're pissing yourself.

- I think I would just fall asleep. - I think I would give up alcohol if that happened to me. - I genuinely think that would scare me off of it. I think I would, yeah. - Genuinely, if I woke up the next day, I'm amazeful like- - You pissed yourself, Garth. You looked me in the eye and you pissed yourself. - I think I'd be like, all right.

- That is a wake up call that something in my life needs to change. - Yeah, that's a level of like, I don't even know. Can you Google it? Why do people drunk piss

- Why do people drunk? - Yeah, what's the psychology of it? - Because I don't even think I've ever been come close to it, but I guess I wouldn't say. - See, I mean, in my case, right? It's like, I'm fully aware of the fact that I really need to piss. But the thing is when I get drunk, my already weak bladder becomes even weaker. So I'm more prone to going to the toilet. Like you guys have seen it. Like I'm more prone to go in the toilet when I'm drunk.

- Yeah, no, I do have a weak bladder. I've always had a weak bladder. - I have a weak bladder. It's like for me, I've gotten more UTIs from holding in my piss than pissing myself. - I've never gotten a UTI. - I've never gotten a UTI. - I've gotten it multiple times 'cause I do have a weak bladder and sometimes I really, I am in a position where I really, really need to piss, but I'm just through like sheer fucking willpower, I'm like,

Nah, ain't happening today. I wake up and it's always a fucking YouTube. - No, dude, I'm one of those people where it's like, if I need a piss, I am stopping everything to piss. - Yeah, normally. One time I got the night bus home. It was my first month in London. And I went out with a bunch of mates of mine.

I knew there were ones that I knew from university. And when I went to finally go home at like 3 a.m., I was like, oh, fuck. So I got on the bus and it was an hour and a half bus ride home. Yeah. Pretty much went from like the center of London all the way around to the south and finally got to where I was. So I was like, all right, well, it's 3.30 a.m. When I got on this bus, I'm going to like take a little nap.

But because it's like one of the late buses, there wasn't a lot of seats left because it was, I think, at the time, I think it was one of the last ones until they started doing the morning service. So I'm sitting there and there's a guy sits next to me, whatever, don't think much about it. And then I'm like this on the window, just trying to like, you know, because you're dozing off. But then you're like, I got to watch my stop. And then as I'm about 45 minutes into this bus ride, I'm like,

Did you guys know there are butterflies that drink blood? Or that there's a species of beetle that can shoot boiling liquid out of its butt? Or that blue whales are so big you can swim through their arteries? But there's a species of bat that's so small that it weighs less than a penny. My name's Maya. And my name's Connor. And we are the co-hosts of World's Wildest Podcast. If you guys love nature and you love learning about how crazy it is, Connor and I have over 30 years of experience in wildlife conservation, and we're here to tell you all about them.

Oh, this guy next to me pissed all over the floor and it went all over my shoes. Oh.

And there's so much piss. And then I go like, oh, fuck. And then the guys next to me who are also drunk on the opposite seats like here notice because the piss starts to dribble down because that floor is not absorbent. And it's just so gross. Everyone starts freaking out. And then the bus stops. And then it stops like 10 minutes while they figure out what to do. And they eventually just kick the guy off. Yeah.

and leave him in the bus shelter. And then it just goes on. I'm like, oh, I can't. And I couldn't go back to sleep. And I felt so gross. So I pissed all over my shoes. And I was like, wow, what a great welcome to London.

- Average London experience. - Yeah, average fucking London experience. - Oh my God. - I couldn't believe it. I was like, God damn it. I didn't even piss myself. Some guy pissed on me. - I've had a similar one, but even worse than that. - Oh yeah? - On a bus. So I was- - I just pissed all over myself. - Yeah, I just saw that. I was drinking. So this was when I was still living back in Sydney during college. After class, me and my friends went out into the city.

I collected the little amount of money I had at the time and I'm like, all right, I'm going to go out with the boys. We're going to go to these cheap shit bars, you know, get drunk.

Stay till late, but obviously I live like an hour and a half away from the city. So I'm like, okay, I need to get the bus home. And this is like the second to last bus or whatever it is on a Saturday, mind you. And so like, I go into this bus and there's the only seat that's available in this bus is this two seater. And there's already a dude on the window side that is already sitting there. And he looks, I could immediately tell him like this dude is drunk as fuck. This guy's wasted.

I'm like, well, I don't want to stand for an hour and a half. I might as well just sit next to him. So I sit down.

And it's a bumpy bus. You know, like there's a lot of Sydney roads. A lot of it is very windy, especially near my house. And we get so close to my, I'm like two stops away from my house. And I can hear this guy is struggling. - No. - He is struggling with through all these windy, like hilly roads near my house. - That's the worst when they're shaking it about. - Yeah. - And then it ends up like the last stop before my stop, the bus starts to move.

this guy just fucking projectile vomits and it hits the back of this woman's head. - No!

I immediately stood up. Like I couldn't like, it was like a knee jerk. It was like a knee jerk reaction. The moment I heard this vomit and I could see it from my periphery hit the back of this woman. I just, my body just fought to stand up even though I was really drunk as well. And the rest of that bus ride was a bit of a blur because I just got off at the next stop. Like I didn't even care if it was my one. I was like, I do not want to be involved with this.

But yeah, I just vividly remember just this splat sound as it just hits the back of this woman's head. - Oh. - And that was one of the last few times I took a bus. At least that late at night, you know? - Public transports. - Yeah, the rest of the time I was like, can one of you guys- - Did they stop the bus? - Huh? - Did they kick him off or did they stop the bus? What happened? - So I think- - So I was like, I ain't stopping for nothing. - I think the guy,

- I don't know, so the next stop, it was like maybe two minutes before my bus ride, my stop. And I remember getting off the bus and it driving off. So maybe he didn't stop. I don't remember, but this woman, my God, she was not having a good night. - I would never wanna leave my house ever again. I'd become a recluse. - Yeah, I would quit alcohol after that.

- Yes, that was a great story. - Did you ever get a piss bonus? - Oh yeah. - When you get a piss so badly, your dick gets so hot.

- Oh yeah. - So rock solid and you're like, "God damn it, I'm not hard. I just need to piss so bad and I'm trying to hold it. I'm trying to hide it while I'm trying to go to the toilet." - Well, I don't know. I remember reading up on this. - How does that work? Why do you get piss boners? - No, I remember reading up on this a while ago. The reason why it feels so good to pee after you've held it in for so long is because like, I don't know if this is true. I read it somewhere, but apparently you're also slightly ejaculating at the same time.

- What? Why do I get turned on after I pee once? - I need to piss again before I piss myself. - Yeah, I'm gonna piss again too. I actually hate the fact that I have to pee so often. I really, like, I know that it's like healthier because you're getting rid of all the toxins in your body out at a faster rate. So your body is like holding onto the toxins less and you're probably less susceptible to UTIs and stuff. But I hate the fact that I need to pee so often. - Oh, I hate it as well. - What, when you drank? - No, just in general.

- Like I wish, like, you know, there are some people who was like, oh, I only pee like, you know, two or three times a day. - Skilla shunna. - And it's like, no, I have to pee like at least, I haven't counted, but I probably have to pee like 10, 20 times a day. - Okay, have you heard about the embarrassing thing of, you know how,

- What is it that you say, Joey? Not every person who pees has to poo, but- - Oh, no, no, no. It's the quote that I live by. Not every pee-pee time is a poo-poo time, but every poo-poo time is a pee-pee time. - Have you ever, so you're going for a number two and obviously you pee, right? But unfortunately your position is in,

- When you go pee, you know the little gap between like the toilet seat and the toilet bowl? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. - And cause me many- - I've done that more times than I can remember. - It is the worst when you piss and you're like, oh, everything's going great. And then you're like, why is there piss on my foot? - Yeah.

Why is there piss on my foot? - It's like, why did my dick just have to snipe that tiny little gal? - This is why now I make sure, I make sure. But listen, I still would rather sit pissed than ever stand pissed. It's so messy. - Okay, okay. - I hate stand pissing. - Holy shit, I've just had like a wave of just, thank God.

- I'm a sit pisser. - No, no, 'cause I- - Some people online make it equated to the like being a baiter or something if you sit piss. And I'm like, I'm sorry, I like being comfortable while I'm- - Also, I'm the one who cleans the toilet in my household. I don't want to clean it if I don't have to.

So I'm gonna make it as clean as possible for me. - Because the thing that's hard about this, right? Is because when you're sitting down pissing, there's no splash or something. It's almost like silence, right? So sometimes you just let it go and sometimes- - Close to the source of combat. - Yeah, yeah, exactly. And sometimes it's just like, what you hear is silence and you're like, this is a good piss. And then sometimes it goes through that hole.

- You don't hear it when it's going through that hole though. - No, you don't. - It's silent. - It's silent. - It's silent. - And then you have to do that thing where you like get the toilet roll and you're like, oh. - Yeah. - You have to wipe the toilet bowl as well. - Yeah. - Piss ran down the fucking bowl. - Okay, thank God. 'Cause I thought I was the only one who was that. - No, I was everyone. - That is a universal dude thing. - It's a big dick problem. We got big dicks fit in between. - Because we were recording Trash Taste, like I think it was like a month or two ago. - Yeah. - And I get a message from Sydney.

I get a message from Sydney being like, "Hey, we need to talk." And I'm like, "Sorry, honey, I'm recording right now." - Yeah, what's up? - And I was like, "Okay, I'll call you afterwards." I mean, she said, "Call me afterwards, but we need to talk now." - Okay, damn. - And she was like- - Serious, man. - Yeah, yeah, it was serious. - Wow. - And she was like, "So I was in your toilet and there is,

a huge puddle of piss on the floor. - Did you forget to clean it up?

- Did you forget to clean up your piss bottle? - This wasn't even a, this wasn't, okay, here's the worst thing, right? - What the worst thing is? - Here's the worst thing. She wasn't even mad. She was just genuinely worried that there was like some, I was like going through a mental thing and there was something wrong with me. And she was like,

- It's okay if something's going on. I'm just like, I've just never seen that before. - It's like, did you miss the toilet? - It was just a huge pile of piss. How would you not notice that? - Did you not see it? - I was late to a trash taste recording, so I think. - So you didn't clean it out? - No, no, I genuinely didn't notice. So what must've happened was,

I was on the toilet. I was on, 'cause I was trying to like, I was trying to explain to her I had to leave in a rush today. I think what happened, I can't confirm this. - That's crazy to notice. - Because I was like, I'm surprised. I don't know, one, I don't technically know why the piss was there, but if I were to have a guess, I was late to like the recording. So I think I just,

Sat down, did my thing and just rushed out and I didn't notice the pile of piss, but she was like, "How does that happen? Are you okay?" - You know what? Valid question. Honestly, valid question. - Man, yeah.

- I would definitely notice because like- - I would notice. - Okay, 'cause if you're sitting down peeing, right? Obviously your pants are around your ankles. - Okay, let's talk about mechanics of getting your peepee stuck in there for a moment, all right? The peepee has to be kind of lodged in there for that to happen, which sometimes you can kind of just forget about. But you kind of notice it pretty quickly what's going on. 'Cause you're like, why is my dick floating?

- Why is it pointing 90 degrees into the toilet? - Connor, that's big dick privilege, which I don't have unfortunately. - Were you aiming it through the gap? Like Jesus threading the needle? - No, sometimes the pressure is so great. - You're like me in the perfect 0.1% angle to get the piss going through the toilet seat. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sometimes, like, you know when you turn on a hose and the hose is really high pressure and the hose starts lifting? - Yeah. - That's what happens.

- But sometimes it's like the perfect pressure that it doesn't like just shoot out. Sometimes it just like hangs on the rim. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it just trickles down. - That's the dangerous ones. - How do you deal with when you're sitting in a public toilet and your peepee touches the rim of the toilet? - Oh, I'm offing myself.

And that is the worst feeling in the world. - The cold porcelain touch of a toilet meeting my warm, my warm, mild penis. I don't know how to respond. Should I clean it? Should I wipe it down? I guess I just live with it. - I feel like I need to disinfect myself. - I just live with it. I just live with it and suffer. Let me talk to you about it. - Yeah, I mean.

- Wow. - That's great of you to tell the story Garnt. - Yeah, that's crazy. - People need to hear this. - That's crazy. - I think guys need to hear this. 'Cause I wanted to confirm that I wasn't a freak who just missed the, who just didn't notice that I had pissed all over the fucking toilet sometimes.

- Man, going back to the UK, I felt like an animal. Not 'cause I was pissing everywhere, but maybe 'cause there's no bidet. I just realized how much I need the bidet, man. - Oh yeah. - I just feel like my butthole is never clean. - No. - I have to like shower to reset. - Like sometimes if I'm in a country or wherever that doesn't have a bidet and I did a number two where I'm like, nah, this- - Without a bidet, I don't know how much to wipe anymore. Like I don't know how much wiping is enough.

- But at the same time, it's like, I don't want to be sitting here for 10 minutes wiping my ass. Like, because I know if I do it too much- - This is the part of the episode that happens to get demonetized. How far do you wipe? Like how much are we getting rid of the poop here? - What do you mean by that? - 'Cause like you can just do literally the surface.

- Oh, you mean like going into your butthole? - You can get a tiny bit in, right? - Are you fingering yourself? - How many fingers are going in, Joey? That's all right, I'm kidding. - This is why he doesn't want to get a cavity search. He's like, "I don't know myself." - Because you're like, how much, like the bidet gets rid of the perfect amount. - Yes, yeah. - You're right, 'cause then you can't.

- Do you have like a technique where you get bidet sprayed? Like do you have a preferential way of handling it? - Yeah, I do this thing where like, so I sit in the position that I know that the hose is going to be and then start spraying, right? And then I start moving. - Yeah, I do too.

- Get all the angles. - Get all the angles. - I'm a little shitty. - I'll have the back and forward function if you press the bidet twice. And then it go, and then you could do like, you can cover all the butthole. - Oh no, no, I don't even bother with that. I was like, I'll do it myself. I'm manually doing that shit. - Me too. - Yeah, thank you. - Do you do that Garnt? - No, you don't. - I use a bidet. When I'm in Thailand. - Listen, but like when I wipe normally now, I just don't know, I think I'm lost.

There's nothing I do gets it as clean as the bidet. And that's the problem I'm having. So whenever I go, I just feel like an animal and it just, I'm wiping and I'm wiping and I'm wiping and I still don't feel as clean as with the bidet. - And that's the thing, it's like without a bidet, you wipe, right? You wipe a couple of times and then you finally get to that point where like, okay, there's nothing on the toilet paper after the wipe. I still don't feel clean. Even though the toilet paper is telling me, nah, bro, you're clean.

- No, I don't feel it though. I feel it somewhere. I don't know where it is, but it's unreachable by toilet paper. - Okay, and I don't know, maybe this is too much information. I get swamp ass if I don't have bidet. Do you get this?

- No. - Dude, I swear to God. - Your ass is like nervously sweating. - I think it's sweating so much more 'cause it knows there's no bidet. So I immediately like, I'll go to the toilet just to wipe. Just something, I gotta get rid of this shit. Fuck me. I didn't even need to poop or anything. - It's the equivalent of like, you go to a sauna and then instead of jumping in the cold water, you just wipe yourself off with the towel.

- Nah, I still feel swampy and gross. - Yeah, I just feel like I'm never clean enough, man. - I need to go in that water. - And I genuinely think I can't enjoy traveling outside of countries with bidets now. I'm just nerfed forever. This is awful. - That's why more countries need to adopt bidets. - Please, get bidets. I can shower and it can reset, but the shower doesn't do as good of a job. I don't want to pull the fucking shower head

Even in my asshole, I feel like it's weird. - Well, you don't get your hand in there? - I do get my hand in there, but it just doesn't do as good of a job. - Yeah, that's true. - As a precisely engineered jet into the exact spot. You know what I mean? Garnt, I feel like you don't understand us. - Oh, I don't know. - I can't believe you live in this country and you don't use a bidet. - I do use a- - I know Japanese people that don't use a bidet. - I do use a bidet. - It's crazy. - But it's like if it's like,

- Problematic. - It's a problematic time, you know? - Problematic. - Sometimes I'll just bidet, even though like I haven't had a shit, I just feel clean. I'll just bidet it. If I'm sitting down to piss, I'm like, hey. - I just love getting ass blasted. - I'm like, yeah, may as well. - Have you guys- - Do you guys cum by the way? - You guys cum while you do it? - Is this why you asked the erection story? - Are you guys also cumming every time you do this? - I'm just saying, man, I can't cum without it.

- What's wrong with that bidet? I need that stimulation. - When you watch the hentai scene where they're in the toilet, you're like, he's using the bidet. - Yeah, he's like, he's definitely using the bidet. It's not the girl on top, it's the bidet. - Have you guys ever taken a picture of your shit? If it's like... - Okay, you have to explain the context. - If it's like...

- If it's like, okay, for record, I haven't done this. - Okay. - But there have been times when I've had a shit so immaculate. - You do want people to appreciate that. - That is just like- - Oh, no, no, no. I've had this, yeah, no. - Sometimes you've just laid the immaculate law. - I remember, and I have to admit, there's a part of me that's like, God, I want people to see this. - I know, no. Okay, so.

So I haven't taken a picture, but I have done the thing where I've shown people where it's like, I was on a family trip to Japan when I was probably about 10, 11 years old. We were staying at this ryokan and I was like, I guess I was like slightly constipated 'cause I hadn't shit for like a couple of, I was on that travel constipation. So like I didn't poop on the plane. I didn't poop the first day I got there. When we got to the ryokan, I took,

the biggest shit I've ever taken in my life. So much so like I finished and I looked down and I tried and I went to go flush it and this thing just wouldn't go down. Like it was like immovable. - No. - And I was so proud of this that apparently I ran out of the toilet, I went up to my mom, my dad and my sister and I was like, you guys have to check this out.

- I was like, it's not- - I think my mom would've slapped me. - Yeah, it's like, it's not flushing. - Okay, go for it. - No, no, and then basically the story ends where it's like, I can't get this poop to go down. Like, this is crazy. - This is a visual novel title. - So I bring them into the toilet. - You bring back up. - And I'm like, look at this. It's not going down. I go to flush, goes down straight away.

- The first one was a dislodging poop. - So not only did I show my toe to my family, but then they all gathered around to watch this thing depart down the toilet. - The reason I'm asking is 'cause I had, I think two weeks ago, I had the most immaculate shit.

And normally what happens in those moments is that even though she does, she's not going to appreciate this work of art as much as I am. I just show Sydney. Problem is Sydney was out doing a shoot or something.

And I think I had to go to like a trash days recording. So I was like, either I send a picture of this shit for, I just like send it to Sydney or I just leave a massive log for her to discover and not appreciate. - Honey, I have created a masterpiece and I need you to see it. - So you took a picture and- - I don't think you wanna, no, unfortunately I had to like flush it down, but I was just like, 'cause-

- Unfortunately, when you take those immaculate shits, you know no one is going to appreciate as much. - You really are the tortured artist, Scott. - You know nothing is gonna appreciate as much as you in that moment. But when you just see that like perfect, the perfect formed log that just came out in one. - Oh yeah. - It's just like, God damn, this is disgusting. This is absolutely disgusting.

- But holy shit, what a banger. - Yeah, it's like, "Goddamn, my colon cooked." - I'm pretty regular, so I don't really have monstrous poops. - Oh yeah, you do it pretty often. - I have two a day at the exact same time every day. - Yeah, I do it like two or three a day. - But at the exact same time after I wake up, after an hour of waking up, I have to go toilet every time.

- Right. - I swear to God, I don't know if it's the friends that we have, but some girls I talked to, they were like, "Talk about not going to..." - Like two, three days. - "To shit for like two, three days." - She doesn't shit for two or three days. - Yeah, because she doesn't have fiber. - Yeah, I guess so. - If you had fiber, you would shit daily. - But I don't have that much fiber and I'm still shitting twice a day. - You probably have more than you realize. - Really? - Beer's got fiber in it. - Oh, well.

I'm gonna be shitting like a stone tonight. - There's a fiber in a lot of things. - Gentlemen, expect a poop pic from me. - I hope if one of you has an immaculate shit, you feel free to send it. - All right, actually next time, now that we've broken the size. - If you have a monster, it's gotta be considerable. It's gotta be the size of my arm at least. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - This section. - If there is an immaculate shit that I need to share,

- I'm gonna send it in the group chat. - You have permission. - If it happens for you guys,

feel free. - I did have one that like went around as well. Like a fucking- - Like a cartoon? - Like a cartoon poop and it was immaculate. There was no breakage at all in the line. It was incredible. - Those are the ones where you just like, you look down and you're like, fuck yeah. - Yeah, and then I had to flush it. I'm like an artist, I have to make something and move on. I can't dwell on it.

Despite it being my finest work yet. - I can't dwell on this. I will make another masterpiece. - I will make my masterpiece again. - So gross. - Jesus Christ. - This is why people,

- Why do people watch this show? - They don't watch us, Jay. - I don't know. - Maybe this is why they watch that. - This is why we fell off after 200 episodes. There's too many episodes like this, man. - Oh my God. - This is why no one eats or no one should eat when watching "Trash Taste." - Yeah, God, I hope you're not eating while you're watching this 'cause- - Maybe you are, let me know. - And if you are, then based. I couldn't do it. - I can eat while listening to stuff like that. - See, I can't do that. - I have no issue eating no matter what.

- I'm one of those people where it's like, if you put on a gross video of any kind, like- - Oh, I can chow the fuck down. - Oh, I can't do that. - Really? - I get like physically sick. - What? - Yeah. - No, I've never- - It's like, if someone was like, if I'm having a meal and then- - Nothing gets in the way of a meal. - If I'm having a meal and someone puts on like, my stranger's addiction or something, or like something gross, like my 600 pound life or something, like I'm like, nah, turn this shit off, man. I can't. I don't know. - It's not even that bad.

- Maybe I'm just a pussy, you think about that? - Yeah, I'd agree. - And if I am then whatever. - Which my strange addiction made you not want to eat your food? - The one about the toenails. - Yeah, that would push me to my limit. - Like the one where the woman collects her toenails or some shit. I'm just like, I don't want to watch this while I'm eating bro. - Sometimes there are like- - Where do you cut your toenails? - When? - Where? How do you do it?

- I realize everyone is very different where they decide is the apt place to cut their toenails. - I do it in the bathroom. - Okay. - Yeah. - In the bath or- - No, no, no. - Foot out the bath and- - No, no, no. Like in front of the sink in the bathroom, like with a small bin at my feet. - Oh, so you pick it and like put it- - So I clip it and so that if I clip it, it falls into the bin.

- What do you do? - Where? - Yeah, where do you, if you need to clip your toenails, where would you do it? Where's your go-to place? - Whenever, innit? - Wherever. - What? - Doesn't matter. - What? - He's Asian dad style. He just does it whenever. - You'll do it in like the living room? - Yeah. - You can't do it in the living room, Garnt. - Of course I do it in the living room. - You can't do it in the living room. That's disgusting. That's vile. - All I need is like a, like,

- It doesn't matter where, I just, you know, I need nail clippers and maybe like a covering or like a plastic bag or something to clip it into. Who the fuck cares? Who cares? - No. - What is your cutting toenail ritual? - I put my foot on the toilet seat like that and I- - Wait, you do it into the toilet? - Yeah, into the toilet and I flush it down the toilet.

- That's fucking weird. - How is that weird? It's so easy to get rid of it. - Actually, that is weird. - Why is that weird? - I've never, why the toilet? Most people do it into the bin of some kind. - Yeah, but why do I wanna put it in the bin? I just flush it down the toilet. - But that's also like- - Can you flush toenails down the toilet? - I'm sure you can. - I'm sure you can. - Well, 'cause like- - It's just a weird place to do it. - I kinda just don't like the idea of it just being in a bin.

- Why? - My human, oh, nail clippings down the toilet. - You should avoid flushing nail clippings down the toilet. - Doesn't break down in the water. Well, there we go. Yeah, I just kind of like, I don't know. I was like, the idea of putting them in the bin, it's like shitting in the bin.

- So I just go to the toilet and I put one foot on, I go, boop, aim it in the bowl, boop, boop, boop. - I mean, first of all, I don't want to comment on how gross your toenails are, but if you equate it to the same as a literal shit. - No, I just think any like bodily element, I just don't, like I would dispose of it in the toilet, right? Like. - What?

- Is that where you shave yourself down there? - Wait, what do you guys use in the sink? You're just like, this is a problem for future God. - What, shave? - Yeah. - So what I do is I get a paper towel. I get like three pieces of paper towel, like in a row. I place it over the sink. I shave on top of that. And then when I'm finished with that, I fold it off. - That's some Patrick Bateman level fucking prep. - 'Cause then it avoids the sink. - I love to go down the sink. - 'Cause then the sink gets clogged up and I'm the one who has to clean it. - Yeah, I got the thing and I,

after like half a year, I pull out the sink thing. And it's like, that's a lot of hair. - Where'd you shave down there though? - Oh, that's in the bathroom. - Okay, okay. - Okay, so that goes down the sink. So the hair can't go down the sink, but the ball hair can.

- But the nail clippings aren't good enough to go down the toilet. They have to go in the bed. - Well, can you imagine me, if you walked in on me in the shower. - Yeah, but I shave in the shower. - It's just the act of like having to go to the toilet to fucking cut your nails. - Wait, what? I'll do it in the bath too. - Where'd you cut your own hand nails? - I chew my nails so I don't. - Normally the bath.

- So like the bath, you know, like the- - The bath? - What? - Yeah. The same place where I let the hair go, I'll let the nails go and then I'll take them all out and like throw them away and I'm done. - That's weird. - Why? Why is that weird? - I don't know. - Okay, so I'll be in the bath, right? So I'm gonna do all the grooming in the bath 'cause the Japanese bath is designed for grooming. It's great. - Right. - 'Cause you, you know, you'll wash your hair, wash your face. - Wait, so then why don't you clip your toenails while you're showering then?

- Well, it depends what I'm doing. Like if I notice that I need to clip them, I'm like, ah, they're kind of big. I'll flush them down the toilet. 'Cause it might be too big.

- It depends on what I'm doing it, but I prefer to do it in the toilet 'cause you have like the pedestal. - Yeah, right. - 'Cause I hate having to like grab my foot up like that. I kinda like having something to lean it on. - You don't have like a seat in your bathroom? - Yeah, I sit on the seat, but there's nowhere to put my foot really. So, but I mean, when I shave, I'll shave in the bath, not in the bathroom, 'cause Japan they have the bath and in the same room they have a shower with a seat that you normally get with it. So I'll sit there and I'll,

and I'll shave and I'll just cut my nails. And then I'll do the every other hair that needs to be trimmed. - Right. - I don't trim my balls that much. - I don't trim my balls that much either. - It grows back so fast. - Yeah, it does. - It's kind of a pain in the ass to like deal with. And I'm not a porn star. I don't got anything to prove. - Sometimes it gets like a little bit too long. - When it gets to that point, I'm like, all right, let's free this boy. - When it starts becoming like, you know,

Jackson five level like Michael Jackson. That's that's what. - Michael Jackson's dick what? - No Michael Jackson's afro. - Oh okay. - Not his dick. - You could have just said afro. Why would it be Michael Jackson specifically in Jackson five? - No like Jackson five Michael Jackson afro. When it becomes like that, that's when I'm like okay. It might be time you know 'cause it's like. - So like no one talks about this shit. Why does no one talk about why they do this? You know what I mean? - I don't know because people are like self-conscious for whatever reason but it's like everyone has hair.

on their balls. - Everyone's gonna flip their toenails, where they going? - Yeah. - Where they going? - The bin. - The bin. - I guess they should, but I don't wanna sit in front of a bin. I also hate the idea of,

clipping them in the living room and putting them on like a napkin or something. That's vile. - Why? - It's just so dirty. You shouldn't be doing that in your living room. The living room is for chilling, not for grooming. - I mean, it's not like toenails are like the most disgusting things on earth. - I don't know, they got a lot of shit at this level. - Do you wash your feet? - Of course I wash my feet. - Well then you're fine. - Yeah, but like you can't get in there all the time. - You're not like an Amazonian like running into the mud every day with your bare feet. - I normally cut my nails on my desk.

- No, no. - What's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?

- That's still less weird than toilet though. - No. - Same fucking stride. It's a desk. - Is it normal to flush your- - More people I think do that. - Than the toilet. - It's your desk. You take, you have like- - I can't be alone in this. - You put a covering down. - I can't be alone in this. - You just- - No. - How is that weird? - Is it normal? Scroll down. I want a forum post. I want to see real human beings, not this fucking bullshit. - Reddit. - Yeah.

- Can I flush fingernail clippings down the toilet? - I keep them in a jar because they will clog the drain pipes if they grow big after flushing. - Okay, that's fucking weird. - How big are these fucking toenails? - How are we getting weirder right now? - Hold on, does this person know what a rubbish bin is?

- You can throw it in the rubbish bin. - Isn't it strange how like as human beings, we all have these things that we have to do, but because we refuse to talk about them, everyone lives their full life doing something, not realizing it's potentially weird or maybe not even weird, but just different. - That reminded me actually of this like YouTube channel, Japanese YouTube channel that I watch quite regularly. And they did a recent video, which was kind of similar to that, where they were like, okay, everybody,

has like a specific order of operations when they take a shit. Right? - Yeah. - But not everybody does it in the way that you think is normal. - Walk me through how you take a shit. - How I take a shit? So obviously I just sit down, I take the shit, I turn on the bidet, I do this motion. - I mean, I want the full part, you enter the room. Start from the start.

- Okay. - In order, in order. - I enter the room, I open the lid, I pull my pants down, I sit down, I take the shit, maybe watch some YouTube on the side, 'cause you know I like taking my time. When I think I'm done, turn on the bidet, do this motion, get it clean, stop it, wipe a couple of times, and then flush.

- What's different about the Japanese? - So this Japanese YouTube channel, they actually, they went around asking fans to, they carried around this like fake toilet and they were asking fans to be like, all right, tell me exactly the way that you shit. And there are some people like, for example, like some people don't bidet like at all. Some people do this weird thing where they wipe first and then bidet and then wipe again.

- If I spilled peanut butter on my arm, I wouldn't wipe it in, wipe it off and then wash it and then wipe it again. I would just wash it and then wipe it. - I get that. - No, you don't. - I get that. - You don't use a bidet. - Stop doing this, Garnt. You don't bidet. - That's like for like the messy, messy session where like you need,

- Do you realize how hard it is to mess up your asshole with shit? It literally goes down. - No, I'm saying it's just like that. - Are you shotgun blasting shit out? - That is for like the sessions where you're like, "My bowels are not working the way they are supposed to be." - You're talking about the champagne bottles. - I had Thai food last night and sometimes that requires multiple bidet sessions of like bidet, let it sit, bidet again, I gotta sit, bidet, and then finally it's ready to wipe.

- No, I don't do that. - Me in Thailand is just like- - This is me in Thailand. - Me in Thailand is the time I use the bidet the most 'cause it is like ring of fire down there permanently. And I need like a bidet to like just cool it down. - Okay, question. - Yeah. - When you go to poop or pee, if you are a sitter that is, do you take your pants down as you're doing the motion to sit down? Like are you doing like, you're like,

- Like this? - No. - Or are you? - I'm that. - Okay. What about you guys? - I'm a motion. - So you are unbuckle and then take down as shitting? - Yeah. - No, I am literally just- - Interesting. - And then sit. - Yeah, I've heard this is different. People do different things. - What do you do? Motion? - I think I put it all the way down.

- I think I let it go all the way down. - Yeah, first, right? - And then I sit down. - And then you sit down, right? - Because I don't like the restriction of like bending of the clothes while I'm doing it. So I fully do it down and then, but I think when I stand up, I pull it all up as I'm standing up. - Okay, so when I'm done, I pull my pants up as I'm sitting. - Yeah, I do that too. - And then I stand up. - What is this conversation? - It's just, I wanna know how a bro shit. - Just imagine it, when he stands, he unbuckles and lets it all go down and then he sits. - Yeah.

- Normally, I'm trying to think about it. And I'm like, this is like thinking about breathing. It's just like, I've never consciously breathed before. It's more of just like, I just do it. And I don't actually think about it. - No, just think back to all the times you shit, which is a lot, hopefully. - Yeah, yeah. - How do you do it?

- It's just one smooth motion. I don't know. - Both ways? - Yeah, there's never any break in my motion. The only thing I can think of is like during sometimes I like unankle my trousers if I know it's going to be like an intense session. - Unankle your trousers? - What do you mean unankle? - Like take them off? - Yeah. - So it's like just in front of you? - Yeah.

- What kind of shits are you doing? - I mean, I get that. - That's called Thai food shits. - I've had shits, but I've never felt the need to take my pants off fully. - I mean, I'll take my shirt off sometimes if it's a chance. - Okay, I haven't done that. - You've never done that? - I see this meme all the time online. I've never taken my shirt off for a shit. - Oh dude, especially like a day after like a big night out and you're having those like after grog bogs, you know?

those AGBs, sometimes I can tell as I'm walking to the toilet, I'm like, oh, this is gonna be one of those shirtless shits. And so I sit down and I contemplate letting go and I'm just like, nope, I just take the shirt off so that I can just, I can go like Super Saiyan on this shit.

- You've never done those? - I have done those before. - Try it next time. It feels good. - You don't understand. Sometimes it's so intense that you just need nothing to constrict you. - Yeah. It's like, I don't need, this cloth is in the way. I need to get this off my body. - Wow. - So that I can use 100% of my power. - Holy shit. - When you're home alone, are you comfortable being naked? - 100%.

- But how often do you just like chill? 'Cause you're just too lazy to like wear clothes. - Do you not have that period after the shower where your body or like a bath, your body just doesn't seem to cool down, but you don't wanna put on clothes until your body's like kind of cooled down. Otherwise you're gonna start sweating when we put on shirts. - Yeah, but I at least put underwear on. - I don't do that.

- For me, if I'm chilling, it's like underwear is like the minimum. Even if I'm like by myself. - I'll never sit down without underwear on. Like I won't sit on a couch with my like ball sack out. - Right. - 'Cause my couch doesn't need that. But in my underwear, I'll chill for a while. - Yeah, of course. - 100%. Especially until like my body's sufficiently cooled down. - Actually, now that I think about it, I think for me it's underwear and at least shorts.

That's the Australian. - But isn't it the worst though when you just showered and you rushed to put like clothes on. - Yeah, it is. - And you're kind of like, you're like, I don't know why, but I wiped, I used the towel and I'm definitely dry.

but I still feel kind of damp. - No, no, no. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I hate that feeling. - No, I hate that too. And that's why like, if I'm feeling like that, then I do what's called Jesus mode where I put on underwear, I put on a pair of shorts and then I let my towel hang over my head. - You love doing that. - And I go full Jesus without a shirt on. And that usually, and I sit like that on the couch or at my desk or whatever for like maybe 10, 15 minutes and then I'm good. - Fair enough. - Yeah. - Fair enough.

- Well, Jesus, that's good to know. - You're welcome, you're welcome, my son. - Well, that was an episode. - That was an episode I'm regretting slightly. - I don't think people will feel too strongly about this one. Let us know if you flush your toenails down the toilet or you collect them in a jar like this guy on Reddit. - Yeah. - Or if you put them in the trash. - Yeah, I think it's weird. - Listen, it's not like I'm wiping, I'm putting wet wipes down there, you know what I mean?

- Yeah, yeah. - It's just a lot of effort to get to the toilet to specifically do this one thing. - What? You're laying down sheets like Kira from fucking part five. You're like, I live my life. Every Monday I put the sheets down in the living room ottoman and I clip my toenails to perfection. Like what the fuck? No, I want that shit gone the moment it's clipped. I want to touch it, I want to see it.

- It better go in the toilet. - I don't know why it's so gross to you when it's been on your body. - Yeah, I don't know. Some of my toenails gross me out. I think 'cause they're like really good at collecting dirt. And even though obviously, you know, I try to clean my toenail, nails and toenails. They just collect dirt so well that I imagine them as very dirty. So when I've clipped them off- - And I'm sure they are dirty as well. - So when I clip them off, I imagine them as extremely dirty things that I just want, yeah, I just want to go.

Don't want it in my trash. - That's fair. - Yeah. Nails for me are like, I don't know, pretty normal. - Yeah. - I wouldn't need to go to like the toilet. - It is weird how we all develop these ways of viewing like bodily functions that are like normal, but we're like, "It's gross." It's like, it's literally just shitting. You literally have to do it. - It was in your body. - You literally have to do it every day. Get over it. It's not that gross. - It's a natural process. - Garnt shit, maybe it's gross.

- Garnt's pissed on the floor? Yeah, that'd be a little bit gross. - Yeah, that was gross. I thank my wife for cleaning up after me, although I wish she didn't discover it and thought and question if I was going through a thing in my life. It's like my husband just pissed on the floor, what do I do? She probably would have made a Reddit post being like, "I think something's wrong with Garnt. He just pissed all over the floor." - Yeah, but when you do that, you have those moments where you just sigh, you're like,

- I can't even piss right today. - This is the one moment where like a girl found out a man secret that no other man talks about. And sometimes we accidentally piss on the floor. - Sometimes we do it. - Sorry, ladies, we are gross. But hey, look at all these patrons though. They're not gross. They are the types of boys and girls to take pictures of this shit and send it to their friends. I know they are. - I think half of this podcast

- He's been pissing and shitting. - This is the poop episode. - Pissing and shitting. - 100%. - I love pissing and shitting. - We love pissing and shitting.
