Connor, a British 11 years old kid punched a French kid over an arcade game. "War, war never changes."

connor, a British 11 years old "violence is never the answer, it is the question. the answer is yes"

13:50 I love how Joey’s story could’ve turned gay at literally any moment lol “I needed to come out of the closet” “The first guy I experimented with” “We were alone in the room and I turned to him” That was killing me XD

Jokes aside, everytime I hear a story from Connor's childhood, my admiration and respect for him grow. Any other man could grow into becoming a bitter dick, which is understandable, but instead Connor became Connor. Mad respect.

Basically in a nutshell: Connor: Shounen protagonist Joey: BL protagonist Garnt: Cultivation World protagonist

Connor's childhood: Tournament Arc Joey's childhood: Intro to a yaoi

"I'm british, how do you get a gun? Walmart?" *Yes. They actually do sell guns at Walmart.*

Connor: In japan you’re not supposed to eat while walking Anime school girls: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that

"A monk, a chess master, and a hentai addict walk into a studio..." Now I want to write that short story.

Connor Backstory: Chess Tournament Arc Garnt Backstory: Monk Training Arc Joey Backstory: Converting your friend into an Otaku Arc

Grant: I rarely get angry *Sees mizuhara not win best girl of the year* Grant: I see no peace

God the “FOLLOW THE WHITE MAN” got me laughing so fuckin hard

Connor: The bullies’s nightmare Joey: The 9 years old killer Garnt: The monk

"I've never seen Garnt mad" Joey giving school days 10/10

Conner’s story about leaving the cinema early and having Japanese people follow him reminded me of when I was queuing for 2 HOURS for an Eva ride at universal studios. I had been on my feet all day and the pain shooting up my feet was unbearable. I was like fuck it. I will sit on the floor and wait in this queue! Then about 3 other groups of Japanese people stared at me for a bit and were like “woah we can do that??” Some leaned and sat on the rails and then slowly came down to actually sit down on the floor as well. The look of relief on their faces was gold 😂

Ok with each episode Connor's backstory gets crazier and crazier.

Conner is giving himself so much character development for his upcomming chess manga

it warms my heart seeing connor being happy with his friends, considering he could have turned out a mean, rude asshole he’s been through a lot

I legit thought HBK was Hentai Boys Klub😂

Connor life is legit amusing, this man is a proper shonen protagonist in a previous life

No amount of Monk training can calm Gant's thoughts of Joey giving School days a 10/10 xD

idk who made these just commenting them for me. 1:02 Intro 2:00 getting your friends into anime (5:21 shonen fans are only talking about their favourite show) 10:17 anime > club 13:37 Joey's coming out story & he showed his friend KissxSis 18:46 It is freeing to have conversations about anime 21:11 anime clubs are bad 25:07 japanese cinemas 27:23 cinema goes OOOhhhhh 31:19 gaijin card 36:23 punching stories & scary parents & Highschool stories 46:52 Highschool anime 54:18 monk story 54:32 - 57:33 Ad, after that, back to monk story 1:08:39 Temple episode 1:15:19 shouting is fun 1:19:06 power of music 1:23:40 Anitube history lesson&PodTaku 2:11:52 Ending words

I just realized the "handball" joey is talking about is 4-square. At least that's what we call it where I am.

Joey’s story is just the start of a Yaoi.

Let's be honest gigguk is also one of the Founding fathers of anitube.

Watching Garnt lose his cool and getting pissed off in the biking is hilarious when rewatching this. With Connor saying that he has never seen Garnt genuinely angry.

Conner is legit the misunderstood bad boy protagonist who gets his own redemption arc

Connor is the hotheaded and impulsive protagonist while Joey is the calm and calculating rival

That's why Connor loves Jojo so much: He was literally Jotaro!

I made my first "anime friend" in the army, the amount of weebs in the army is staggering.

Once you bond over an episode of Kiss x Siss, nothing can tear you apart.

imagine connor loses his chess finals, throws the board up sending pieces flying and just dives across the table and starts beating the shit out of the kid across from him 😂

Connor: I knee'd a chubby kid in the face. Gant: I used to be a monk

joey: the big brain guy who flexes on everyone garnt : the monk and the isekai lover connor : he's just connor

Is no one else wondering who Connor voiced in Hellsing Abridged? My respect for this man just skyrocketed.

Trash Taste Highlight Title "Joey coming out of the closet" "Joey experimented with another guy"

40:45 oh my god Joey predicted Chessboxing

That Trey Sesler “Mr. Anime” story got so dark quickly, I was giggling at last moment and my jaw dropped the next second…

Connor is an anime protagonist when he's in highschool

*Connor:* I have no idea why I was such an angry kid. *Also Connor; paints a picture of isolation and having no friends, and bullying.A breeding ground for anger issues*

The story Joey told with the car on the roof, my dad did the same thing with his classmates when he was studying on uni back in the day.

Timecods: 00:00 - Start 00:30 - Cute anime sounds made in public 01:30 - Stagnation 02:55 - Connor got smacked for playing video games 04:46 - Joe advised a friend at the university to watch Evangelion 05:18 - Senen fans 08:01 - Joe and Gun Ball 10:08 - Gigguk hide his anime hobby 11:51 - cringe story of Gigguk 14:06 - Joe watch... 21:40 - Connor get banned in anime-club 24:04 - International cinema guide 31:51 - My favourite Moment 36:53 - 11 age Connor vs. French 39:27 - Fight's with brothers 40:55 - Fight's with classmates 44:31 - last days in school 48:20 - Connor and fight in school 54:50 - Gigguk was monk 1:11:32 - How Gigguk Handles Anger 1:13:00 - Screaming is fun 1:16:34 - Music Pause 1:21:08 - Anitube history 1:23:55 - Mr. Anime 1:38:50 - Anitube 2007-2012 1:44:00 - Story of "Podtaku" 2:11:00 - End

Connor: "I was such an angry kid, I have no idea why." Also Connor as a kid: Being constantly subjected to physical confrontation and bullying

Everytime we hear Connor's past, its like we're getting the synopsis of a new anime

Garnt is a living history book for the Anituber community for lasting this long and still big and relevant and is still growing. Like damn, he was not the first, but he was one of the people who stayed.

That’s so funny that they mentioned the “me listening to the podcast” meme because I was just thinking about that not too long ago. I have nobody to bond over anime with (I’m a girl too so, yeah) so laughing along with the boys here is the best I’ve got lol

Trash Taste is the PodTaku of our generation.

Dealing with anger: Garnt: becomes a monk and reaches enlightenment Connor: fills his decking in the face quota before reaching the age of 20 Two kinds of people

No one gonna talk about how there’s a few points where gigguk drinks from an empty glass

I feel like no matter who's the host, Gigguk is always the host.

Connor is like a British God of War. He was angry and brutal during his youth, but now he is calm and has a beard:)

i met up with my old friend after quarantine, and i remember just feeling the need the say "mm" after every sentence he says. anime affected me i guess

I remember back in college engineering, I regularly brought my laptop for projects and stuff, and obviously i was an anime nerd back then, i had tons of anime in my drive, so my engineering friends were kinda browsing through my folders, like looking through which animes i have downloaded and stuff, and they stumbled upon kiss x sis, needless to say, they (and i mean like 6-7 of them) watched that anime all the way at our lab, no joke it was during break time like lunch break or a vacancy between classes, but they watched that shit through and through, some of them even requested a copy from me, i don't know what happened back then but it all just felt natural, i don't know if our professors saw us watching that on a dinky little hp laptop, but we were also laughing a lot too during some of the scenes. God something about kiss x sis just attracts the boys if you know what i mean

Bullies: *messes with high school connor* Connor: Ho? so you're approaching me?!

Joey : Knight Connor : Berserker Garnt : Sorcerer

I love hearing the childhood anger/fight stories, because I was never much of a violent kid, I was just kind of a mence. I was the alt weird kid in the midwest, so I stood out quite a bit but tended to keep to myself and just be weird around my friends when we were secluded. But my brother thought it would be funny to out me to his friends, so being called homophobic slurs in the hallway became a commonality when passing his friends, but one day one of them thought it would be funny to follow me to class while repeatedly calling me said slurs, I got fed up and right before i turned into my biology class, I was kinda a teacher's pet in his class, i just decked the kid, walked into class sat in my seat and pretending like nothing happened. He ended up in the nurses office with a pretty busted but not broken nose, and my brother's friends left me alone after that. And the school took no action after hearing what he was calling me because they knew I was gonna pull the fuckin gay card if they tried to get me in any trouble forstanding up for myself after repeatedly telling teachers about the frequency of the slurs being thrown at me.

Me trying to join clubs in Uni: Sci-Fi Club: In a basement room of the student activity center. I walked in, saw that I was the only woman, walked out. Table top game club: Was only D&D. No Warhammer, no Catan, just D&D. Card Game Club: Was only poker and rummy. I was very confused.

Connor's backstory is a wild ride every time, his character development is of a shonen protagonist

Words to live by "I'd rather be watching anime right now"

The way I have been binge listening to this podcast every night at 4:00 am for the past week. I don’t know what I’ll do when I catch up eventually.

Close to Joey, I was told, "I brought you into this world and I can take you out and make another just like you."

“Where do you even get guns? Wal-mart?” Ok boys who’s gonna tell him

Conner challenging a kid to a chess game then punching them, “You die it in the game YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE!”

Oh, Connor, I think I know why people wanted to fight you. You were the 'gets angered easily' type of kid, and people got some stupid 'high' out of trying to make you angry and then about fighting you I just know that that's what they were about, because I defended myself in school, I would punch back, I would not let others step on me, and boom, prime target. "Oooh, you get angered so quick, oh look, what will you do? Punch me?" And then I fricken did punch a person, and that person went "F. Ok. Ok I better not pick up fights, my nose is bleeding." I was like, 10 or 11 Kids are just..... Seriously. It makes no sense. Everyone is a dumb chance seeking masochist

I love audience engagement when watching movies in the theater. Maybe because I’m starved for human interaction, but I love hearing people get hyped over cool scenes. Also, I don’t know how common this is, but I live in California and a couple theaters in my area have like these full on leather recliners equipped with seatwarmers, and they have trays that you can pull out to put your food on. It’s really cool.

When Connor tells a story it feels like a Shonen light novel reading. When Guygik tells a story it has the same vibe with your great grandparent telling about WW2

Let's just appreciate how bullshit Connor's environment was when growing up but still grew up as an outstanding lad. Don't let those bad influences get you.

36:32 can we appreciate how Mudan put Connor as one of the arcade games

30:44 I can still testify that at a young age, brothers genuinely HATE each other. So my cousins are brothers, and BOY did I get scared just watching THEM. They used to hate each other’s guts and would full on hit each other and end up injuring one another. It was a scary sight for me 😭

Gigguk: tells a super interesting story about being a monk Comment section: ahah Connor punched little kids

That bookwalker ad actually is making my want to buy it. Well done

It's so funny to hear how you had enough self-awareness to hide the fact that you watch anime. Me from middle to high school was trying to convince anyone who tried to talk to me to watch anime. I realized a bit too late that people don't and won't love it like i did when my friend stopped spending time with me in school and said that it's because I only talk about anime.

Connor when he was 13: character development Garnt when 13: training monk arc Joey when 13: scare tf out from his dad

The image of an Australian father saying "I brought you into this world, I can take you out" is absolutely terrifying.

If you search “untitled vocaloid song” the song garnts shows comes up

this was honestly one of THE BEST episode of the pod and ill remember it forever!!!

"Nobody publicly liked hentai on Twitter..." *stares directly at Joey*

I swear their podcast is addicting I never get tired of listening to them

In my experience of cinema here in the United States, People don’t talk over the movies and will get kicked out if they do.

Ok ngl, that ad start at 54:31 for Bookwalker got me chills. I instantly thought "damn those are nice voice actors they got in the show"

Garnt: The Father Joey: The Son Connor: The Holy Spirit

These Podcasts Are Getting Better And Better, Joey And An Old Friend "Bonding Over an Episode Of Kiss X Sis!"

In the videos I've watched on Connor's channel, he seemed so demure, but here, it's like he's a completely different person.

i love this podcast so much thanks guys for putting up with this

So basically we have Guy-geek: the simple monk who buys expensive rias figurines The an1me man: not a serial killer CdawgVA: british bakugo Great!

I can already imagine the editor's face whenever Connor speaks a MILE away form the microphone... =)))))

Had to rewatch this golden episode. Such a happy pill

the quick little visual edit gags always make me giggle

Joey: The Hentai Boi Connor: Monkey Brain Gigguk: Anime Monk lol

This episode has confirmed that Conner really is just an absolute chad

You guys talking about high school memories gave me flashbacks to so many things I had forgotten about many years ago, also Twitter is a cancer so a monk field trip has an extra benefit besides entertainment for us lol

Watching this again now with the context of why Garnt left the BBC makes me feel really happy for him. Good on you man!

dude i want a slice of life manga about these three; 'a monk , an australian, and a former shounen protagonist all brought together by the power of anime' MAKE IT HAPPEN GODDAMIT

Connor unintentional rapping: “HE JUST PULLS OUT THE PLUG WHILST I WAS MID-METAL SLUG” mans hot and got bars

51:00 that's best case scenario for dealing with bullies tbh. If you're someone who wants to be left alone, you don't want a reputation. A reputation as a doormat, or a reputation as a scrapper - you don't want either of those.

Joey's is talking about handball My brain: it's just four square

Title: Our dark past with anime. Connor: "𝗦𝗢 𝗜 𝗞𝗡𝗘𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗧 𝗞𝗜𝗗"

Never a dull moment when Conner talks about his past.
