Remember when Connor literally didn't know anything about VTubers and now he literally has a friend group full of VTubers. Character development

If Calli being a guest in trash taste becomes a yearly thing, i am 200% SO down for it

2020 Calli: Shy and conservative 2021 Calli: Open and roasts Gigguk

1:31:19 Personal Timestamp bois, where gigguk went from happy to instant sad

Unexpected Return of the King

calli: "i'll just pass on some advice my senpai passed on to me" "never stop trying to do new things" *flashback to coco's message to HoloEN* o7

I love that gigguk's words are so quotable. "I wish I could hit that in a year" -Gigguk

16:39 With the revelation that Calli was physically in the studio for this recording, I'd like to imagine she was there in a Filthy Frank style green jumpsuit, and the boys just had to keep a straight face the whole time

Garnt: "How do you come up with ideas for 9 streams in one week?" Calli: "Idk man I just play Jump King for 8 of them..."

"It's not about beating your rivals, but beating the you of Yesterday" Each time Calli has been on she drops some really good wisdom and I'm loving it

I think it’s hilarious that Conor thinks 30 years old is “old.” I can’t wait until he hits that point and realizes that it’s pretty similar to your 20s… just more aches and pains and more responsibility depending on your life situation.

@2:03:03: Calli is quoting Coco's graduation advice. It's so touching to directly see that Coco is still in everyone's hearts until now. I feel like crying manly tears right now.

This is the closest I'll ever get to seeing my dad again so let's get it

I love how comfortable she’s got around the boys. She was still finding her persona the first time and now she’s become a master!

42:50 Garnts face as soon as he hears jump king has me rolling, even though he didnt know what it was

I'm really not into V-tubers but Mori is one of the most fun and relatable guest that's been on the show. Love to listen to you all talkign, hope mori will come back on sometime!

Calli's first appearance was basically how I got into VTubers so this is like a full circle thing I actually commented on like Twitch Clip on one of the clippers videos of Joey and said that they should get Calli back with her new outfit and Calli has done a lot and changed a lot since her last appearance so this is HYPE

Connor: "Megamind is not a critical masterpiece" Schafrillas production: *video essay writing intensifies*

43:31 Mori's expression got me rolling lmao

32:42 "Am I going to put out a tweet that says a lot of things? A couple of words?" Meanwhile, Korone tweets out cryptic numbers few hours before her stream begins.

I think Calli is like the perfect Hololive member to have on the podcast. She’s quite down-to-earth and her interests and personality aligns near perfect with everyone else, with just enough difference to create massive talking points for both her and the boys on subjects that the others may not be as knowledgeable on. The dynamic between all 4 of them is immaculate.

2:03:15 that was Coco's advice to them before she graduated, wholesome!

It'd be really cool if this started to become an annual thing. Just these cool overall updates on perspectives and large talking points these four bring are so great to listen to. They all bounce off each other so perfectly.

1:31:21 and here's the legendary face of grief for nothing 😂💀 2:11:04 Salty Garnt walks out with defeat XD

This was a real surprise treat. Damn Calli's such a champ. And comparing this to the previous episode Calli was in, Connor definitely shows the most change in his knowledge about V-Tubers

"wanna know where I worked?" when Garnt said that with just the cheekiest smile on his face I just lost it. LMAO

1:45:00 The way he just says "wanna know where i worked?" is just so fucking funny. Followed by their reaction? I love it so much it's hilarious

damn I'm just surprised she had the arm stamina to hold the mic in front of her face for 2 hours

I honestly wanna see Chris Broad and Mori Calliope in one Trash Taste Podcast Episode.... because I wanna see how much Boomer Mentality can Chris Broad reach with the concept of Vtubing

Calli has to be one of my favorite guests you’ve had in your guy’s podcast

the first mori trash taste video is what got me into actually likening vtubers and mori especially, so im really happy to see this happening again!

Love to see Calli on Trash Taste, the energy of the bois+Grim Reaper is outstanding.

It was very touching to hear Calli’s advice for future vtubers be something a certain dragon senpai of hers said 🥲

Calli is already coming back with better Drip than Chris

I understand Calli's fascination with yakuza movies. I remember this one series that I really like about this young kid who wanted to be a normal kid but was actually the son of a yakuza leader and then he got into this weird situation where he had to pretend like he was dating the daughter of a mafia leader. It was really cool!

I forgot how much learning about Calli had lead to finding new music. hazy Skyscraper and C U have hit me so deep, and I've been so glad this unique group of anime oddballs brought you to my ears.

I just LOVE how connor and joey just synched at 43:26 “YOUR A KING AND YOU JUMP”

To every person asking if Calli is actually there or not, let me remind you of the first rule of Trash Taste. Every guest MUST be there in PERSON. No exceptions.

I was actually just like Connor when I watched their first Trashtaste with Calli on, from then that's when I actually got into Hololive and really enjoy Vtubers now. Great to hear more about Calli's creative process and she seemed pretty comfortable here too

The first Trash Taste episode I watched was the first one with Calli, been loving the shows since then, really happy to see her come back, maybe even a third or 4th time eventually? Loved this one

Calli's original episode was what solidified me as a deadbeat. THIS WAS AWESOME!

Garnt: "I have to save up for like a year to start doing youtube" Connor: "Could have been 3 more videos" That killed me

8:41 I love the way he laughs hysterically

She's awesome to have and be around with. Just like a genuine human being, who would've thought human interaction was so.. Fun.

Mudan has ascended past the 5 stages of workaholic to the god-tier: Assiduous Eternity

Calli: Everyone has a different idea of what "content" is _[remembers her "Cursed ASMR" stream where she scraped a fork on a plate for almost an hour]_

I just watched the first Calli episode the other day and the difference between her in this episode and that one is like night and day. When she first debuted she felt kind of like she had to like. put on this act the whole time with like a certain cadence of her voice and it kind of felt like she was walking on eggshells a lot, but now it feels like she's a lot more comfortable and is able to do it with less thought put into the way she's saying things. like shes still very much playing a character but it feels like shes been able to mold it more around herself it's really cool to see

I love Mori's synergy with the rest of the boys, fav episode so far!

2:03:17 God damn, that caught me off guard and me shot right through the heart. So happy that Coco's remembered and honoured to this day! o7 🧡

Wow there is someone now who can beat Chris as Trash Taste's returning guest hahaha

it took me a few days to get a chance to watch it all but i loved this , it makes me happy to see how much more comfortable calli is now

This was a really good Episode! Glad to have had Mori on the Podcast to talk about the struggles and stuff

Fantastic to see that Calli gets to be the first guest to be featured on the podcast twice! (Chris obviously doesn't count since he's the unofficial fifth boy)

Just from watching the beginning of the podcast, it’s so great seeing how Calli has grown as a guest and streamer. I remember when it took her a while to get comfortable last podcast so it’s great to see her far more confident. My dad can’t be this cute. Edit: She herself mentioned her growth, you love to see it.

1:49:56 TBH, Joey you're a genius when it comes to building a fanbase(getting your intended audience to love you)and doing KZfaq in general. I think you had the talent and the hard work to be a youtuber without needing to try things out. You were a pretty amazing youtuber from the very beginning.

this have to be one of my favorite ep so far cause i had been rewatching this a bit too much, the bois and Calli are much more relax and fun than the last time (don't get me wrong, the last time was great but this time is even better)

If Ollie ever travels to Japan I think she would love to be on the show. Joey and Connor appeared in her birthday stream after all

I really appreciate what Calli said about not having a passion. I often feel low because there are certain things I feel like it'd be cool to do, like stream or play music, but I don't have the drive to pursue them. It was surprisingly uplifting to be reassured that it's fine to not have a passion, and just to enjoy your life how you like. Also it's nice to see how much more comfortable and relaxed Calli is now compared to the first episode she came on.

ahhh im glad i finally watched this. Biggest impression is it's crazy how fast paced the vtuber world is also crazy how much its slowed down! It's also interesting knowing all the trash taste guys more since last year when I was first introduced to them. Cheers guys this was great! This also in comparison just felt like buddies hanging out as compared to last year's Calli appearance haha.

I find it funny how Garnt unintentionally just looks at Calli’s unique parts

Has it already been a year since the first time Calli appeared on Trash Taste? Time flies.

Mori's got some mad arm strength holding the mic up for two hours straight without even leaning to anything

Im always impressed how Calli commits to her reaper character, Gura sometimes cant remember what animal she is, and i actually kind of prefer that, but u respect the craft when u see it.

I freaking love the Brian David Gilbert shoutout. So awesome to hear the boys talk about my guy.

Connor without his beard is reminding me again that he's the youngest in the group. 1:09:10 "if you're often not available, people dont invite you to things. If everyone knows that you're not gonna show up to stuff most of the time, people will stop inviting you" -Connor from this weeks episode of trash taste. Damn, he's right I preffer Bone Chicken. Mostly because I'm able to dissect it with a fork and spoon. The meat closer to the bone tastes better.

Let’s goooooo!!!!!! The VTuber that got me into the rabbit hole of Hololive, VShojo, Nijisanji and indies, can’t wait to see her back on the podcast!

Always great to see Calli chatting with the bois, its somehow charming hearing a down to earth story of success, her music is very inspiring but its also kinda nice to know... We are fine, we can't all make it big at something, theres nothing wrong with busting your ass working (well... There are things wrong with it but you get it) but theres also nothing wrong with just enjoying life, not always taking it to the extremes. Im afraid I'll get more complacent than I am and fall on medocrity (is that even a word? Sorry if it isnt not 1st language) but its also good knowing that as long as you push yourself forward, a bit of exercise if you dont do it, some of that language you want to pratice, maybe a bit of that instrument you bought and can't play, even if its not full steam ahead, ready to make a living out of a hobby and dedicate your life to it... You can just better yourself and enjoy the trip, have a good time looking at those that bled for their success and got lucky enough to survive it, without looking down on ourselfs for choosing the "safe" road, as even proven ground can be treacherous from time to time & hard times can fall on anyone. Well I am talking out of my ass as an inexperience 0 acomplishments person (getting through college so thats gonna be 1) but its still nice to think of it.

Calli is so much fun on this podcast. Because of the last time she was on, I started watching her stream consistently.

It's amazing how Calli doesn't get tired holding that mic for 2 hours

Conor: "I dont want to tell you if I snore" Joe: "Conor snores definately" After 5 mins Conor: "How do you know you snore at night?" Also Joe: "Your significant half tells you" Plays Tatsuro Yamashita Love space

2:00:56 I actually wanted to say something about this topic too. Hearing mori's answer made me think about my own situation and stuff too and i gotta say that while yeah,when you have the same audience, some people can be jealous of you or you can be jealous of them but the thing which really helps change it all into a positive thing is simply focusing on yourself. Rather than being jealous of the person XYZ has become, you become 'jealous' of the work XYZ has done and the ethic XYZ followed and you try to make yourself better, you try to do it yourself. And tbh, as long as you put in hard work, you see progress(even if it isn't some huge progress) and just that feeling gets rid of the jealousy. Like, here's a good example: My 2 friends who i am studying with rn are both better skilled at a lot of things relating to the work we do. In theory, it should make me jealous. But, we have this friendly competition thing going on where we share ideas with each other, put in our personalitites to make our final work unique and stuff like that and the feeling of making something we are all proud of, regardless of whether 1 is comparably better than the other, just makes us feel good and connected rather than jealous. Jealousy imo is usually something that comes from miscommunication/lack of communication and lack of personal effort or effort that isn't giving fruit. As long as you don't have that, jealousy is really hard to come by.

Calli is my favorite vtuber and I don't even watch her streams, she's just so intensely self aware and uniquely herself. The fact that she could admit that it takes even a smidge of ego to do what she does is something I don't think half the people making content on this platform would feel comfortable doing. Her headspace is one of the most interesting on KZfaq imo

Props to Cali for holding that mic up that long

I relate so much with Connor on the working on the plane, there’s just no space at all. It’s so cramped in Economy class, all I could do is maybe read some assigned readings on my iPad and maaaybe answer some e-mails, but even that’s stretching it. It’s annoying to have to put everything back in the bag when they bring the food or something.

I don’t keep up with calli so seeing the difference in her vibe from the last Espinosa she was in is just incredible! So much more relaxed and all around chill. Love to see it

I'm glad she looks much more comfortable hanging out with the guys. Her past year experience really shows.

On the subject of Jump King: if you liked Calli on this podcast, her recent Jump King streams are a bit like this podcast! Just talking about random things with other HoloEn members.

Can't believe I watched the whole podcast. It was so fun and the chemistry between them all was so good and the wholesomeness was on another level.

Such a great episode! Dad was an awesome guest... again. Also, what is it with the high production effort? Back ground music, particle effects and everything!

At 42:53 Garnt just had the most natural transition I have seen in my life and it had crying while laughing so hard at it.

#36 on trending for gaming "Now this is gaming." -Calliope Mori

Out of all of yalls guests, she's one of the best! You all bounce off each other really nicely and she just seems chill af

I would seriously love a full-time podcast with the boys and Calli, they're just a really good fit as a group

Trash taste has been such a blessing in my life man, I don't know what I'd do without you guys. Like, none of ya'll are writers, but the struggles that you do go through are something that I can feel. The thing is with the advice the trash taste boys and Mori gives, it's a lot of the same advice you'd get no matter what field you're on. The circumstances are different but they can still apply and add, to whatever you have planned for the future. "Never stop trying new things" was literally what my father told me when we had a heart-to-heart talk, about me being a writer. "Spend your energy wisely" is something I had to learn because even if you're writing, and you'd love to write more, it's not like you can actually do it. And there are times when I can't work and do writing, and times when that's literally all I can do. At the same time, you can also just "Be yourself" when you are writing. And I'm sure it's the same with music and up and coming artists, because I met those people, and our struggles are the same. Sometimes we like to compare our works to other more established creators a little too much, and realize how dumb that is. At the end of the day, we're all vying for an audience to get people to see our works, be it acting or streaming, writing or singing. To anyone who has plans for the future, please don't sleep on their advice or experiences, because they genuinely work and I've made soo much progress in my own writing just because I'm able to listen to the trash taste podcast. And that's the thing, you can learn as much technical knowledge you can of anything, but if you don't actually set your foot down on something that *feels* like "This is something that *I* can do." then you won't get far. It helps to have knowledge of what you should be doing, but you're gonna need more than that, and it does help broaden your perspective on how far people have come in their own creative paths. Not just because they're successful, but because it helps picture just how hard people work to get to where they are, and how lucky they had to be. My writing has to be professional level atm, but if I can't finish a book, or get someone to publish it, AND THEN somehow keep up with the internet, how am I going to get out of this niche bubble as a writer? And that's dumbing things down. But would I still do it? HELL YEAH writing is what I live for man!

I think she quoted Coco ay 2:02:00, Coco always says that trying new things leads to a lot better experience for yourself and for the viewers. Man that hits me right on the kokoro.

Finally got around to watching this (I'm terrible at watching stuff) and really enjoyed this episode with Calli! Really enjoy her chemistry with the group, especially now that she's come into her own and seems far more comfortable with others. Would love to see Trash Taste's official 3rd member on again!

She sounds so much more normal in this podcast compared to her first visit. Funny to see the changes between them. I could hardly sit through 2o minutes of her talking previously.

The first time she came on I recall her being uncomfortable and quite jumpy. Now she gives off very laid back vibes. Looking forward to seeing her again here.

Joey: "Certified BBC Employee" Connor: Oh No... Garnt and Mori: *unfazed*

16:51 I must imagine how hard it is to do stuff when physical items are involved I want to know which section is edited for Calli to move? the entire chair an entire box for more movement is Gant able to wave his hand there without dissapearing into the void?!!!! WE MOST KNOW joking aside, glad Calli came back and hoping in the future other HoloEN members guest star on Trash Taste as well ( if possible, trying to bring IRyS on the Podcast, her being her own generation, the sole VSinger of HoloEN until new members comes on the future )

Sometimes I forget Mori does the vtubing stuff, so every time I remember due to KZfaq notifs it's always a really pleasant surprise

God, my whole day was made as i saw this. So happy to see her back, they talked about it now and then, how she should come back and talk about all the things that changed. The first episode was a real kickstart back in the days. Then she still started out the episode with this forced cutsy voice. Very interested in see how Calli interacts with the boys now that she got so much more experience and now that so much has changed

58:34 Grant: "You're juggling enough things as it is, honestly." *looks at dad's chest*

2:03:03 Coco Kaichou's advice to HoloEN given during her graduation stream 😭😭😭

Im genuinely impressed by the amount of very resourceful and relevant information within this content

Man, when she quoted Coco, I teared up again instantly.

I like the small detail where Cali already has a mic while the boys still have those moving mics. 10/10 for IMMERSION

This was great. Please do more of anything with Calli.

This was an amazing episode. Best return of a guest by far!
