Season 1 Catchphrase: *"It hits different."* Season 2 Catchphrase: *"It really says a lot about society."*

I love the character development of Garnt not understanding “this says a lot about society” meme and later in the episode laughing the hardest when it gets brought up again

“One man’s insult is another man’s Pepe Laugh”, for now that has to be on a list for Trash Taste awards, quote of the year.

Connor: mild annoyances are worse than death the most British statement ever uttered

"people try to prove each other wrong instead of understanding each other" Garnt having a certified anime protagonist moment

Deep throat wasn't a dirty joke, it's a reference to Watergate. The secret informant who leaked the papers that exposed Watergate was codenamed Deep Throat. I have no idea why, but that's probably what Kojima was referencing.

Props to Mudan for actually making that short animation at the beginning himself.

"One man's bullying is another man's pepe laugh" - Monke Connor 2021

According to Garnt, we live in a live action world 😂

Now I am imagining a teacher mentioning the word "society" and some of the kids starts giggling and whispers "he said society haha" and the teacher be like what the fuck is going on. Meme culture can seem so insanely odd when looking at it from the outside

"Deep Throat" from MGS1 wasn't a joke, it was the reference to Mark Felt, who was an FBI agent and key figure in the investigation of the Watergate scandal. He used that same Nickname to leak confidential information to the press. Edit: I think they even mention that in the game.

Connor: we are not gonna talk about poop for while. Trash taste a couple episodes later: talking about deep societal issues and the inner machinations of people with opposing views. I guess when they can’t talk about poop it unlocks these kind of conversations!! Love it here

I’ll be back just lemme finish your Japanese test vod Edit as per request: I was at Joey explaining kounichi. Still haven’t finished “we live in a society”

Garnt: "Thorfin is from scandinavia, whatever the speaking is." Me, a Scandinaviaen: "Was it Danish, norse or swedish?" Probaly grant: "It was Scandinaviaen"

having a degree in psychology, it feels fucking crazy that they're discussing the Milgram Experiment in this episode

DeepThroat was the informant for the Watergate break-in that implicated President Nixon, and that's what Kojima was referencing with the ninja calling himself that in MGS1. He provides the first major set of clues that Solid Snake's mission is so much more than a break-in

Trash Taste is unironically the highlight of my week.

Connor: I like trash taste when we talk about something lighthearted & sometimes i also like talking about real stuff. Audience: we like when trash taste talk about stuff

It’s almost time for Chris’ biannual appearance

They talked about going to the pub, and I immediately thought of them doing a podcast at Abroad In Japan's new ramen shop... the change in venue and the more personal topics would be pretty fun

About the metal gear deep throat thing: The leaker of the watergate scandal operated under the pseudonym of "Deep Throat" and it was a direct reference to that. This was also before the term was popularized to refer to the sexual act. I genuinely believe Kojima just didn't know it had a different meaning.

"If there's a problem, throw money at it" - ConnorDawg Voiceactor

As a chef, though I'm not Japanese, I would have to say... if there's something in the dish or course that you don't like just tell us. Food at a restaurant is meant to be an experience and the more we can avoid anything that may negatively impact that experience the better

"I feel like anime treats me like I'm stupid" Me who's actually stupid: _I see nothing wrong with this_

"Supermarket is live action amazon" I swear Joey always make me laugh out loud with his jokes

Deep Throat As an American history teacher sitting here listening to this conversation I am both entertained and horrified. Deepthroat was the code name of an informant who brought to light Ms deeds about President Nixon and the Watergate scandal. Kojima was making a reference to that

Just did Milgram's experiment in my psych class. It isn't really considered ethically acceptable anymore since it is stressful and deceptive (although some experiments require deception because if the participant knew the real goal they would change their behaviour). Would've been more interesting if I had the boys talk about it back then haha.

I think one of the most heartbreaking statements I heard in a Flat Earther documentary was when one NASA scientist said that many flat Earthers could've gone on to be incredible scientists given how how much many of them do research and try to critically think. However, they got misdirected at some point and went down a very misdirected rabbit hole due to misinformation and bad influence.

I need me a Trash Taste sleep over special.

The animation at the beginning Mudan made during a stream with Man In A Motel says a lot about society.

For the subject of women getting harassed in Japan, I find it totally revolting. And the thing is, it's not only in Japan. When I was in Korea, I saw the same problem. Even doe I never witnessed it in the train, when I was on a night out, the agressivity towards women in order to "dance" with them was insane. I found myself many time getting between a man and a women because I could clearly see the women on the verge of tears not knowing what she could do to push the guy away. And concerning the laws, it's the same problem there too. It shows (a lot about society) that even doe you love a country, there's no perfect place on Earth.

A podcast with attitude that hits different and says a lot about society.

it's safe to say japan has a problem when 2 days into my trip me and my friend had to look up basically how to curse someone out in Japanese because of the fear of creepy men on the trains.

On the accountability of writers: I do think that writers who write about controversial topics are often challenged on then, GRR Martin included. The thing that has to be analysed is why a certain thing is being portrayed. Generally, if you portray a certain objectionable act, you can be in favour of it, against it...or it could be a joke. For example, recently there was a book where basically only the antagonists were all LGBT, and there the objectionable content is being favoured, that is easily identified as bad. When writers portray such issues to shed light on them, or to criticize something (aBoUt sOcIeTy) then that's generally seen as acceptable (in the current moral climate, I 100% agree that the bar is always shifting). The blurry line is with comedy. To what extent are you laughing at the homophobia/racism etc and to what extent are you laughing with it. And with internet humour, there's the complicating factor of to what extent are you just laughing at the absurdity of a certain thing, like with Filthy Frank. Especially outside its original context and time period, filthy Frank isn't particularly funny, which is why people take it at face value, at which it's not offering any criticism or sensible portrayal of the character. That said, it was a different time, and it's not that I think that Joji personally holds those views or should be held accountable to them, but I'd say it's certainly the right call he made to stop with it.

It's not about keeping it lighthearted or deep, it's about keeping it real. This says a lot about society... Love you boys

Connor seemed so interested in having proper discussions in this episode Not saying he usually doesn't, but after the Society funny parts at the start he seemed so well spoken and it was very nice to see ^-^

"this says a lot about isekai society" - I'm shonen and this is deep

Hey Garnt! My girlfriend is a bit of a tech geek (project manager for cloud services for rakuten and managed software design for Android). She might be able to help with your setup! (Obviously we live in Japan)

My favorite part of this episode was the bit on tattoos. I just found it really fascinating to learn how it involved firefighters in a similar system to dog tags in the military. Really really cool!

I really appreciate their discussion at the end about the troubles japanese women face on a daily basis, the fact that more often than not the culprit can get away with their actions with minimal to no punishment is atrocious. Its honestly one of the main reasons why the way I see Japan vastly changed from the idealized image we all have from hearing all the good things about Japan. I'm sure it's still a wonderful country despite its flaws but shit like that is still scary to me

Connor redeemed all his bad takes by saying Lelouch is the anime industry's favorite character

Thank you for talking about power fantasies. I always appreciate those characters with flaws solving their real problems, not defeating everything with power. Hence I always like those kind of genre where a group of teenagers gain super power not to fight villian but to solve their personal issues. Its a type of genre nobody really cares but my favorite genre.

2:08 When Joey says parents should teach women self defense, that's not the issue, that won't solve anything. What needs to be taught is for boys to learn consent and respecting boundaries and treating women like people not objects.

15:29 Saitama is a great example of a well written Overpowered Protagonist. His talk with King about being a hero was just so well done and written. (It's chapter 77 btw)

I know we were talking about how parents should teach their daughters to handle situations like that, but I think it's just as important that parents teach their sons on how to behave and act around women. There wouldn't be a problem to handle if there wasn't a problem in the first place.

I really love when you talk about real stuff, this episode is one of my favourites

47:15 What Joey's saying is completely wrong. When Joji did the vid exposing himself as Filthy Frank he didn't say he hated his audience, and he even appeared as himself in a few other FF vids around that time. The details are kinda hazy, but the fanbase he had then (early 2014, before he got really popular) apparently was toxic enough to make him hide his real self again which really broke his spirits. So even though his audience changed massively as his fame grew, not just accepting of but loving the real Joji behind the scenes, that old incident really left a mark on him that never went away.

Anyone else notice how hard Connor is trying to win best drip next year 🧐

For those new to OBS (or just didn't know): If you already have your OBS setup figured out as much as you can, make a backup of your setup files. They're kept as ini and json files so you can move between various setups if needed or when it resets to the beginning

this podcast gives me something to look forward to when using the korean subway.

This is a nice change of pace. Really says a lot

This podcast says a lot about society, yet we live in one.

_"We live in a scoiety where bone-in lovers are oppressed"_ -Garnt, probably.

I love this podcast so much, you guys always have honest conversations without it feeling overly political just good ol conversation bless you.

I think that it's important to talk about more serious topics and I'm glad that this podcast is a great mix of fun, stupidity and serious talk.

He's gone from talking about the bbc constantly to talking about engineering constantly, I'm so proud of him 🥲

It really says a lot about Soul Society when a 15 year old brat and his merry school friends beat all their strongest champions

I like deep talks sprinkled in. Keep having fun regardless.

everytime a new episode comes out, i stay till the outro is done with the music, relieves me in a way I dont know why

The Deep Throat name might be a reference to the Watergate wistleblower. That or Hideo Kojima has a dirty mind

Its been 2 years since I've watched an anime and yet i still feel like I'm up to date with everything

I really like when you talk about real life in Japan. Keep it up.

This is one of the best Trash Taste episodes of all time. It felt more relatable cause when you're with friends, you love joking about stuff and looking at dumb memes lol

i grew up with SUPER anti government parents, and it's easy for low income families to have a distrust for the government, obviously because they feel they've been screwed by the government countless times, even if they haven't. I don't agree with the sentiments, but it at least allows me to be empathetic to the conversation. I feel more bad for conspiracy theorists than angry.

Kojima just looked at American history and said...."I'm gonna game it". Lol Deep throat is reference to a leaker of the Nixon administration in the 70s kids lol

I think this is my favorite Trash Taste episode till date

A lot of table etiquette comes from a time where safety was the major issue. For example, toasting cups together was to make sure enough liquid from the glasses mixed together that it was unlikely anyone at the table would attempt poisoning anyone else.

taking a shot everytime "we live in a society" is said would be a terrible idea xD

The latest two episodes of Mushoku Tensei are both about families which I felt are really well made, especially since I myself haven't seen my family for years. Shoutout to this show if you still haven't watched it, astounding art, great animation, and great storytelling plus world-building.

You can always tell when grant was working on a video because he starts making the exact points he made in his previous vid.

Meilyne intercepting was a timeless and wonderful moment. As an audience member, it feels very satisfying to see your “local audience” react to what’s going on.

"we live in a society" is becoming the new "it hits different"

Connor and Garnt: "we weren't raised on slimy food" Jellied eels: "well hello there"

Let's start this marathon. 20 episodes to catch-up

Excellente épisode. I really like it when you talk about serious stuff in a memy way

The start of the podcast has me curious if any of them have experienced the true hell of Chinese web novels and the never ending march of cultivation power fantasies.

This episode having a segment where they talked about anime really took me back to the early days of the podcast. Jokes aside, this was a great episode. Had a little something for everyone. 7/10 -IGN

So, I'm older than Chris himself and I found myself watching less and less anime as I got older. I didn't grow out of it but I started to learn how a show would go even before all the isekai shows and it just.. ruins it. I don't want to see a show that is written by a bot that has spent 200+ hours on tvtropes.

This is my fourth time rewatching this episode. This is where trash taste have peak imo

Casting a vote for more Real-Talks. I love TT because it's light-hearted but also avoiding deep stuff all the time is in of itself, deep stuff, if that makes sense

I BET that handshake scene between Connor and garnt is gonna be a meme soon

this episode does says a lot about this podcast :) (love the podcast)

I love real deep conversations!

I realised that I love to hear anyone talking about Mushoku tensei coz it's just too damn good

The gen z twitter cancelers is a vocal minority acting as if they represent everyone in their generation. Most of us are just worried about actually important stuff like this exam I’m gonna fail this week.

Love the ep ❤ and the vibe that is going in the video. It hit home of being picky on watching Anime or reading Manga. Or watching less Anime when the time you have is small. Keep up the good work and do your best you three.

I personally really enjoy the deep topics they talked about in this episode

Remember Megalo box first season, when they cast the correct language for every character. It was a great surprise the Spanish and English speakers

Connor : "I don't wanna deal with tech issues" *Cries in programmer

I just love Ashley's laugh in the background

The cold opening is amazing

Ousama Ranking is one of the best show from this year. The amount of love and care is put into this is insane. Also, the lore is super interesting.

15:43 - "I feel like anime treats me like I'm stupid" THAT! THAT'S THE CONCRETE EXPRESSION I'M LOOKING FOR. There are so many anime nowadays that I don't like but don't know why. Now I know the reason

This was such a good episode

Amen Garnt. Trying to understand others is key

I don't think anime is becoming more generic. After you watch so much anime, you begin to pick up on tropes, cliches and genre patterns. Anime has always been this way (chasing genre trends and so on) at least as far back as the 90s. That's why the anime you watched when you started watching anime seems so good and fresh - you haven't watch hundreds of anime yet to compare them to anything

1:21:00 The name deep throat was a reference of a secret informant during the Watergate scandal, so it’s not something Kojima made up.

I dont think I could ever stop watching seasonal anime. I try to watch at least 3 episodes of most seasonal shows
