I want an episode where Garnt, Conner, and Joey are replaced by Sydny, Aki, and Meilyne

Connor: "they're monetizing your loneliness" He says as I've been watching Trash Taste since 2020 to cope with isolation.

"That's crazy. They would let a man marry a DS but not let two gays marry." I got a whipsplash hearing this.

Mad props to Garnt for being so honest about his experience with loneliness. 🥺💜

Call the 'Specials' Taking Out The Trash

Conor: All the engineering in Italy went to coffee machines Charles Leclerc: you're goddam right

This one went kinda deep. Really suprised by the lack of reaction. The boys waded into loneliness, kinks, cults, sexism and all that schizz. Opinions were wholesome all around and I can't help but be proud of them. They've all stared into the abyss and got away as better people and most important, they willingly talk about it. Love it guys!

The text thread between Conner and his ex roomie is by far the best surprise edit I've seen on TT

Can't believe we witnessed some alcohol peer-pressuring on my family friendly anime podcast

I love the boys but I cannot believe it took 184 episodes for someone to finally say 'I just said that' after garnt says something that the other boys have already said LMAO EDIT: timestamp 2:15-3:30

3 minutes in and Connor is agreeing with Garnt on something. There's been a breach in the timeline, i don't know what dimension i stumbled into.

Honestly, Garnt's right about loneliness. I just recently learned to be comfortable in my own shoes and accept being alone. I used to feel very lonely and left out during my 11th and 12th grades, and I didn't really score well either, I was barely passing Physics and Chemistry lol. I just never wanted to study, and I went on a weird Henti and pron addiction, even tolerating and being exposed to weird kinks I never had in my wildest dreams. It just went on a downward spiral where I'd watch the most f-ed up stuff and feel nothing about it. I was an addict looking for a new fix. Add that to betrayals, I was basically a recluse. But getting into university, I just buried myself with work and projects and stuff like that so that no stray thought goes to my weird addiction. The thing is, it worked for a while, until I got my next horrible breakdown where I was just a mess for 4 months. I just couldn't stop crying lol. I'd get out and I'd just burst out crying for no reason. Like ugly sobbing and stuff, and I really didn't know how to deal with that at all. Therapy is basically non-existent in India, and I was just told to "not be sad" which didn't help. It was so goddamn hard to move out of that mindset and if I hadn't done some radical changes, I'd still be miserable. Then, I started watching Trash Taste, and I found out that I wasn't alone, and everyone goes through that at some point in their lives. If I had money to burn, and there was a premium option in Tinder, I'd have 100% taken up on that offer, even if I knew that it didn't work. It's weird, but seeing you guys talk, I just copied some of your mannerisms, and I slowly built my confidence. I also kind of gave up trying to find happiness while being lonely (not like extreme Hikikomori, more like I stopped thinking too much about it.) That worked for me, and 2023 was basically the year I was rebuilding my life after 3 of my friends stabbed me in the back. It's a daily struggle to not get into the same mindset I was. I've traded in bad habits for other bad habits. I'm noticeably fatter and have some binge eating problems, but out of all the 21 years of my life, this is the best version I've been in. I'm able to earn decent money and not depend on my parents, which not many people have the privilege to. TL:DR; Loneliness if a slow poison and it's hard but anyone can pull themselves out if you make a conscious effort. And boys, your weekly episodes have genuinely changed me for the better. You taught me to value my life as a human being even more and not waste my time trying to salvage broken relationships. I know this won't be seen, but thanks a lot boys!

I can't believe they are adding chris and Pete as 4th and 5th trash taste members

34:34 its not Parallel Paradise, thats a manga about a world of girls that yearns to mate with the extinct male race. Garnt was talking about a Manhwa called Sweet Guy and it is an amazing read

1:36:09 Honestly was interesting how Mudan incorporated Connor's texts with his old roommate in, and just generally nice seeing that Connor had that good host/co-host energy even when he was just a roommate too. (Also now listening to Joey's part in that segment, yh deffo know the folks he's talking about lol. I remember when he posted up his proper move to Japan in vlogs on the Joey channel, was deffo different times. I can only assume he prolly wasn't enjoying that experience for "other" reasons too, but hey, maybe it wasn't as bad as one would think. Though I'm sure Kat would've been a chill roommate prolly.)

Connor: *goes into a philosophical rant about the future throughout the episode* Also Connor (45:14): *cheese*

Trash Taste is literally going from the Top Gear phase, to the Grand Tour phase.... And I'm totally down for it

I fucking love Trash Taste. Even while struggling financially after a car accident on Christmas Day, Trash Taste never fails to make me laugh and give me an escape from stressful life events. Please never stop bringing joy to those that need it.

1:05:00 "That's crazy that they would let a man marry a DS, but not let two gays marry." THAT'S WHY CONNOR IS THE GOATTT

Connor saying "in our generation" when it's debatable if he's a millennial or gen z is weirdly funny to me 😂

Connor's hair in this episode deserves an award in the trash taste awardw just by itself

Congrats on another year of terrible takes, lets hope 2024 is even bigger

I think Connor right about the van / RV life. It seems to be a last option for a lot of people that can't afford housing. Unaffordable housing always seems to be part of that conversation.

1:36:15 "Weakness:... screaming at night" LMAO here I thought the Connor screaming thing was just meme. Also the strong points she listed are wholesome out of nowhere bro was a great roommate.

Connor actually mentioned his unborn child without either giving it away, selling it or tading it with something else *character development*

Garnt sharing about his loneliness was so open & raw. I remember watching a video about dating apps on Memeable Data & reading about the male experience with dating apps in the comment section was truly eye opening. We should normalize men talking about insecurities & genuine feelings more.

They gotta call the outside episodes “Taking Out The Trash” or somthin crazy, it’s gotta be absolutely bonkers

1:36:13 was a pleasant surprise to see some extra gfx magic this ep! ty to mudan and co. for letting us know the context of xina's texts while the convo continued (also just v funny to hear firsthand what connor was like as a flatmate XD). bless up for all the patient housemates out there in the world 🙏 as well as to another year of trash taste!! thanks for 3 years of being my friday wind-down laugh session best of luck on all the TT-on-the-move mini specials for 2024!

Trash Taste Outside. Promising change for 2024!

Connor pointing out and debunking the stereotype of asexuality = being aromantic warms my heart. He's not a part of the ace community but he's still being kind towards them and that's pretty rare online.

I want to say thank you to Connor on behalf of all the asexuals for clarifying that asexuality doesn't necessarily mean no romance.

"the act of existing keeps getting harder" they said as they have a table filled with beer and ham 😂😂😂😂

I can speak for everyone when I say we are super excited for more specials! I think it is a core part of the TT fandom and has given us most of the memes.

connor: "I want to rise a mil for charity" Garnt: "I want to play more genshin man!" LOL.

As someone who's been watching Trash Taste weekly since near the very beginning, I will say that I am very excited to see the new forms of videos in the new year, though I always will appreciate and look forward to the regular episodes of the boys just sitting down and chatting for two hours. This podcast has consistently brought me joy every week since that first time I clicked on the channel. Trash Taste gave me a place of belonging and just gave me something consistent in a time where so much was going on and changing, and still, so much is going on and changing. And yet, no matter what I had going on in my life, I knew I had a Trash Taste episode at the end of the week I could sit back and enjoy, and escape everything for two hours. And in the same way that you guys were here for me, I will be here at the end of every week, no matter the circumstances, to sit back, watch Trash Taste, and support you boys. I wish y'all the best in the new year!!

what a great way to end of 2023. You guys are awesome, I don't mind the less activity on podcasts. I feel the specials or TT outside is a great way of entertainment but i do understand they are much harder to produce, overall I feel this new direction for TT is gonna be incredible

You guys should do small simple projects. Like a trash taste haunted house experience, TT Hiking episode. Camping for a few days etc.

Re: the conversation thing about adult toys. Not everyone wants another person in their life, a romantic relationship, or the like. There are a lot of aromantic, asexual, socially introverted, or just average people in general who aren't lonely in the slightest and have no interest the kind of companionship a relationship provides and/or specifically aren't interested in a physical relationship with another living person, yet still enjoy the physical release of climax. That is particularly true of asexuals, many of which may still enjoy the physical release while turned away from intimacy with another. And that shouldn't be surprising. Climaxing is a rush of endorphins that has been well-documented to help with depression, focus, and stress, even outside a mutual adult relationship. Toys like those described in the episode can provide a more varied experience to such individuals, much the same way some couples might try different techniques or positions in order to keep things fresh and exciting. Toys are a fine thing.

The way universities get around you not using old textbooks is they have all the homework online behind a key that you can only get by buying the brand new book that is exactly the same as last year's book woth the chapters rearranged. I failed like 3 classes because i refused to buy brand new books and my parents refused to buy the new ones also even when i told them.

Fun fact about the generation thing Socrates was talking back in ancient Greece how new generations were losing their memory due to writing... It truly never changes...

Another good year of me really enjoying trash taste. I hope they at least give us 500 episodes

Connors point about being pessimistic towards the future resonated with me. I graduate high school this year (Grade 12) and I seriously don't know what to look forward to. Especially considering housing and such is so bad and only getting worse. The only thing I and my friends can do is to try to look through a positive lens, and enjoy the small things in life. :)

1:23:48 that’s wild to me, when i was in uni my professors sometimes explicitly told us to NOT buy the book-to buy second hand older editions, to scan pages from library versions, or to straight-up pirate the pdfs

Connor really has an Uber eats addiction. Bro has a whole ass kitchen with an oven and he choses to order food instead of cooking for himself. Bro can make a salad at home easily😭

Another year of Trash Taste ends but so does another start. I'm looking forward to what you guys put out next

The manhwa they're talking about at 34:28 - It's "He does a body good" (or "Sweet guy", in other translations). Not the one shown on screen. You're all welcome.

I like how meticulous you guys work together for Trash Taste. Thank you all for your hard work and I can't wait for next year to be just as great.

I can't stop starring (respectfully) at Connor's hair. I mean, that volume! Jokes aside, thank you so much for another year! Looking forward to whatever you choose to do!

So looking forward to more specials and more stuff outside the studio also really great stuff all around to end 2023 with plus the kanji for 2023 being Tax was hilarious af to me.

Absolute banger of a final episode for the year. Loved all the points touched. Probably one of my favorite episodes

Very excited about the new direction of Trash Taste and the specials! Whether it’s outside or in the studio it’s always entertaining to listen to you three talk about the most random stuff for 2h every week. Thank you for a great year!

Thank You for another great year of Trash Taste! I love the show. Especially the pure rant episodes with the boiz (and Chris). I hope some healthy ratio of studio/outside episodes will be maintained. Best of luck with all of your content in 2024! 🎉

As a traveling barista having to taste a lot of coffee all the time id love decaf varieties of beans while keeping unique and delicious flavours, would make my work life so much easier 😂

Episode 184 and I'm still waiting for Sharla as a guest. She's lived in Japan for like 20 years, she's had a couple of interesting jobs, she runs an inn, etc. Surely there's lots to talk about. Plus they could all roast Chris.

Hey, another year I watched every single video of trash taste. Thank you guy for the content and the joy. Hope you doing well and keep making video 😊

1:36:11 Showing her messages on screen was a nice touch!

Thank you for keeping me sane throughout this year. Or maybe not with dem trash tastes 🤣💕

Connor is like that reasonable fun uncle who will give you advice but also give you your first beer.

Actually a banger episode, talking about the struggles of loneliness and the life of being a Uni student. Was funny how relatable the ticks about living with flatmates was.

"that's crazy they would let a man marry a ds but not let two gays marry" tell me why i laughed so hard lmao

The last episode of another full year of Trash Taste, man time flew right on by! I also can't believe I have commented, liked and watched every single episode of Trash Taste since epiosde 1 😆🎆🥂

Wow, the last episode of the year. Coincidentally, I also had a few beers today, so cheers everyone. Be happy you made completed another year and do your best for the next one.

I do like the core podcast vibe but theres something special about seeing you guys go out into the world to do some content out in the world together. Best wishes lads

Im telling my kids that the latex vaccuum cube person is Gojo in the Prison Realm.

I for one, don't find loneliness painful. It's quite peaceful actually. I try to live by a few things. 1. If you can't take it 24 hours at a time, it ain't going to get better with a partner. Learn to tolerate solitude. 2. Prioritise long-term wellbeing over short-term happiness. Work at something, no matter how small, and dedicate time to it. 3. Don't take yourself too seriously. The world will not notice if I disappeared tomorrow and I'm perfectly okay with that.

I would love to see more competition videos like the figure challenge where you each have your own video and then come together on trash taste.

1:48:00 The way boys talked about how there were "no games" this year made me wonder if there was an unlimited amount of bacon involved

1:24:06 After my first semester in uni I just waited a week or two to see if we actually need the "required" textboks 75% of the time you didn't need the textbook at all. The profs either didn't use them, reference them, or even give recommended or required readings. I started this after my first year because of one of my profs. Our university had a required and recommended list of reading for every course. This class had around 15 - 20 books on the required reading list so every got them thinking okay we will be going over each of these. Nope we read and did one novel the rest were just books the professor thought we should have in general. We are talking like over a grand in books we didn't touch. I noticed most of my classes that did use their books didn't start using until after the first and sometimes second week. Well, I ended up waiting until then to see what books the prof would use and I end up saving thousands of dollars by doing this. I did however have a clas that we read 3 to 8 books a week for an entire semester. Even worse is the books were only available at the library in section that only allowed you to take those books out for an hour or two. Otherwise you couldn't buy them the uni so you would have to order them online or figure something out. well, to no ones surprise the class went from 45 people to 12 (it wasn't an intro class). The only silver lining was that the whole class was marked on discussion stuff. So we were split into two groups which alternated between making discussion questions or answering them for each reading(s) for that day. We had to roughly transcribe what was said and give our questions to the prof. The prof guided the discussions and we were marked on how well our questions were crafted, how the disucssion went, and most importantly how indepth we went into the reading(s). After the first two weeks it was actually kind of fun because you kind of just fell into a habit of reading. We probably read 50 books just for that class during the semester and some of the readings were relevant to some of my other classes so it helped me that way. I'm just glad I didn't have to buy the books becuase it would probably have completely made me broke.

I only knew a few words in Japanese but I was able to have a few conversations in Japan all being at bars. The bars there are SUPER friendly but stick to smaller places that are not tourist traps

We’ve gotten through another year and I hope the year ahead brings nothing but goodness 🙏🏻

The talk about drinking cultures really hit me. I'm in Australia and I've been sober for 3 and a half years now and it is not easy. You feel so isolated and judged. It took time but now I have a great network of friends who never judge or pressure me to drink, but anyone outside of it is scary.

I heard about Universities forcing students to buy textbooks a while ago and it blew my mind, I could've never imagined it. In my country teachers would never force you to buy a certain book, and especially in University, teachers only suggest which one they prefer, but no one is forced to use one in particular. And on top of that, a lot of my teachers also told us not to buy them because they are expensive and instead suggested to use the ones of the library, which is free. I think some teachers even shared with us their pdf versions of the book so that we didn't need to buy them.

Happy New Year to all. Cheers to 2024, and more content with the boys, nay, the men!

"Trash Taste: Outside" sounds like an amazing idea 😊 Looking forward to 2024 🎉

Im really excited for the future of Trash Taste, and from next month i will definitely be supporting on Patreon for that extra content!!!

I just got engaged to my boyfriend who was my first and only date from tinder! Before that I had only ever dated girls I met irl. But one day I had been single for a few months so I decide to try online dating just to find a summer flirt, and because I thought it might be easier to find out gay people that way since we’re a rare breed here haha. I made an account and within five minutes he super liked me and sent me a message, a few days later we had an amazing first date, half a year later I moved in with him, and three years after that he proposed. I’m fully aware that my experience isn’t the norm tho, because my fiancé has a ton of tinder horror stories. He entertains me with the tales of his suffering sometimes, and I tease him with how he had to do all the work and kiss all the frogs while I just made an account for about five minutes😂❤️

Influenza that Connor was talking about was Spanish Flu and it was brought to Europe by American soldiers. (Literally from Kansas) So hos point kinds scuff.

I haven't been able to watch trash taste ever since covid ended but glad to see the boys in the grind still

thank you guys for all the videos this year and i would love to see more trash taste outside like what things you will do or explore in japan :D

Joey correcting the name of his "wife" was so hilarious HAHAHAHA

Interested in changes. I've tuned out of Trash Taste for much of this second half of the year. Maybe I've gotten older. Maybe the production got stale. I can't quite put my finger on why I've fallen out but I welcome a change and maybe it'll get me excited about the podcast again. Let's see what 2024 has in store for us all.

I always listen to trash taste with a cup of coffee, thank you bois for your hardwork this year 🎉

Thank you for everything you do! You guys made me laugh with your crazy takes! I’m excited to see more soon 🩷✨

I can already tell this episode is going to be good

Almost a perfect upload schedule for 2023. Almost... They fumble at the last second.

I love this podcast as it really helps to pass the time while doing everyday tasks. I’m excited for what the new year holds for this show!

Very excited to watch them play games together. I was a huge fan of Funhaus pre-2020 and loved the couch play / couch co-op stuff. I would also love to see a Trash Taste in-house fighting game tournament.

Are we finally getting The Girls episode with Sydney, Aki, and Mouse replacing The Boys?

HOW HAVE WE INJOYED 184 EPISODES IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY THE SIERS CAME OUT

I watched Trash Taste for the first few episodes during peak Covid 19 but fell off, the last few weeks i had been getting really back into Conners videos and that brought me back to the Trash Taste and i have to say that you guys have been helping me through a tough time, the current state of the Podcast be great,camt wait for 2024 episodes

14:57 the actual reason for it being forbidden is that it takes the mind away so you don't have the ability to make sound decisions. As usual great episode.

Hearing their talk about uni and socializing being the most useful thing there made me very sad. Started uni during first year of pandemic, the first 2 years of lectures were online and by that point no one was interested in getting to know eachother and were dreading the study course. Really it was a horrible experience, dont think i got any value from it

I feel like Sydney would be the type to get jealous at the elderly woman at the konbini where Garnt frequents, and he's all like "don't worry about it" while getting spoonfed and told "いい子いい子" by the nice old lady

When Connor did the interrogation analysis i got chills because it's almost exactly like how they usually narrate those videos

Great vids guys! Not sure if that's the Saber figure behind Gant that's the exact one I was trying to track down in Akihabara. Ended up having to settle for Archer

Just heard about the Tsunami warnings and rising water, is everyone safe?

Conner needs to try non alcoholic corona beer. It tastes just like regular corona. I can’t have alcohol, dang allergy messes me up.

This was so relatable. The club workers and regular club-goers in Korea were my 'community' back in the day. I never drank in high school and very little in college; it was only after I lived in Korea for 5 years where it became the normal way to socialize. It's just what we did - at least in my friend circle. It seems to be that way for a lot of the country as well. I still haven't quite kicked the habit because it's become so ingrained as something you just ~do~, but I'm sure I look like quite the wild child now that I'm back in America. And the question- "How did you learn Korean?" Just drinking and socializing, repeating what was said to me, asking the same questions, and doing the same self-intro over and over again. It's nice to see how experiences can be similar when living abroad, even in different countries and social circles.

Thank you Garnt for offering a different perspective! Jesus Conner was on a rant this whole episode. Excited for the new year brings

great way to finish work by watching this
