Alternate title: 3 weebs and their shared hallucination

Connor wouldn't fall down the rabbit hole, so the rabbit hole came to him.

2020: Calli is a Vtuber, Connor is a member of a three-person podcast. 2022: Connor is a Vtuber, Calli is a member of a three-person podcast.

If only Connor knew where his Vtuber journey would go from here. He doesn’t simp for Vtuber’s, they simp for him. Update he’s now “become one”

Podcast with a real life pornstar: 1.9M views in 3 months Podcast with a real life waifu: 1.5M views in 5 days Everyone here is truly cultured

Calli recommended the "British" Vtuber to a British man, well played

Gigguk fell so far into the V-Tuber hole, that he actually convinced a V-Tuber to join their podcast

Garnt: "This is the first time 2D and 3D have joined together." Ex-Arm: "Hold my beer."

Connor: "My favorite streamer is Tyler1." Everyone: "Amelia." Calli: "Amelia." Everyone else: "I knew it."

Therapist: 2D girls aren't real, you can't talk to them Me:

19:08 That little 'oh' was so cute!

I jus realized that calli is actually there. They’re all in Japan.

Connor: “You are atleast top 5 in guests” *sees that there has only been 4 guests on the show* *damn*

"We were never meant to compete with cute anime girls" -Gigguk Well, we all know the saying. If you can't beat them, join them :)

I like how we can hear Calli getting more comfortable over the episode

1:19:48 - 1:19:54 Calli: I love Doujin music Connor: Doujin music? (More dialog) Connor: Like the porn?!?!?!? Calli: just continued talking but suddenly noticed the porn thing and tries to correct Connor Grant: Immediately laughs like an idiot Joey: Explains the thing as always Meanwhile: Connor: *Confused like a monke*

Never would’ve thought that Death herself is a fan of Jesus Critikal

Calli: Do you like Gameplay Connor: Yes Calli: Do you like something Chaotic? Connor: Yes I like Chaotic Calli: Then I suggest my friend Amelia She's quite a Toxic Gamer. *That was escalated too quickly*

1:38:37 a moment most of you are looking for

Came back after Calli's one year anniversary, man this really doesn't feel like a year. Thank you trash taste, and thank you Calli introducing me to the world of Hololive.

Connor: "Ok, let's watch this Vtuber Calli recommended, Amelia Watson" Ame: "I'm going to Ground Pound YOUR MOM!" Connor: "Yes, this is for me"

Cali's voice shifting from her innocent debut stream voice to her normal deep voice over the course of the interview is fun to listen to

I like how as the podcast went on, you start to see that facade of a character slowly receding from calli and she just starts being herself, just like how garnt said about the appeal of vtubers on a previous podcast

Around 13:00, Connor being introduced to what kind of vtuber suits him... jump to 2021, Connor messing with Ironmouse clips starts flooding KZfaq

Garnt is like that kid whos parents are embarrassing him in front of his popular friend "mOm DaD nOt InFront oF The VTuBeRRRr"

Calli: "as you know I live in the underworld, you know the other side" Connor: "Yes Australia"

1:21:44 Joey didn't equip hesitation buff and pursued straightforward

The conversation went from Calli having no space to put her mouse in her old apartment to Connor having 4 bedrooms in his house 1:08:36 Calli experience with Tatami room. Then the group talked about futon 1:11:03 Calli's anime preference. 1:17:17 Calli's preference on dub. 1:19:20 Calli talked about music production. Mentioned doujin music but Connor got the wrong idea. The topic escalated to hentai. 1:21:50 So, Calli, do you watch hentai? 1:22:06 Back to music production 1:23:10 Calli talked about how she changed from learning animation and drawing to making music 1:25:20 Calli talked about schedule change after becoming a vtuber 1:29:13 Calli talked about who she wants to collaborate with 1:30:38 Calli has never watched Jojo aside from memes.

Calli: "I'd like to believe that most people have good intentions." Most people: "Please hurt me, mommy."

Joey: Oh, ok, so it's a donation-war Garnt, an intellectual: IT'S A SIMP TOURNAMENT ARC

Gigguk fell so far into the V-Tuber hole, that he actually came onto their stream as a special guest

I can't stop watching gigguk's eyes. They go from her face to her chest in like half a second repeatably

Calliope: I can curse? Everyone: Yes! Calliope: Disable censorship 😈

Calliope- "I probably shouldn't swear" Everyone- "no it's fine you can sweat here Calliope- "OH MY GOD CAN I REALLY?!?!?! I CAN SWEAR!?!?!?! OOOOOOOOH MY GOD!!?!?!?!?!

50:01 now that's amazing.

14:22 "I see clips with the dog all the time" Korone Ms. International. Hahahahahaha

"do you ever feel uncomfortable getting worshipped" I immediately remembered a clip where viewers asked her to step on them.

Calli: "We all like each other." Kiara in the distance: "But you like me the most, right!!!!!????"

1:41:30 Garnt: Now we need to get an Australian VTuber Sana and Bae: allow us to introduce ourselves.

1:41:29 just rewatching the episode and I noticed Garnt's statement became true

Calli: You know, it’s been tough as a reaper- Joey, Garnt, and Connor: Right

"Is there a Tyler1 equivalent in Hololive" *immediately thinks of a certain necromancer*

0:41 Cali in presentation mode 1:05:54 Cali in chill mode

1:18:25 - Calli: Just because you worked hard on something doesnt mean it’s good.

Calli: “...Imagine a goblin sitting on the floor...” Ame:”One of my people?!”

When Calli said “just because you worked hard on something doesnt mean it’s good” i almost cried. It hit way too different.

It took 40 mins for Mori to drop the "Idol Facade" and act natural. I think allowing her to swear helped, lol.

For some reason, I really want a T-shirt with a doodle of Calli on it that has underneath it, in quotes, “You gotta get that dehumidifier, man.” (1:07:39)

Connor next: How Amelia Watson Made Me Bankrupt.

Conner next podcast: "THIS VTUBER JUST GROUNDPOUND MY MOTHER!"

49:51 And please remember, not only was his father in the IT-Business but Joey also studied Computer Design Technology. That makes this story even more hilarious.

Now that its been a year I'd love to see an anniversary podcast where they bring Calli back as a guest and talk about her experiences with Hololive EN.

There's something hilarious about Calli saying "I have scythe swinging lessons" and the boys are just straight-faced nodding their heads.

"This episode wont be anything special" The episode:

Joey And Garnt: Know Alot about vtubing Connor: alot Vtuber's know him

19:08 ΟΟΟ

Trash Taste guests so far: 1) Chris Broad 2) Shibuya Kaho 3) Meilyne 4) Sydsnap 5) Mori Calliope 5 guests so far and 4/5 are women. I see the pattern now.

"It's like character development" Mori debut: Cool, Superior, Death Mori now: Tsundere, Airhead, Pure, Death

I’m so happy I didn’t skip the episode just because I’ve never seen a vtuber before! I rlly enjoyed her presence later in the episode!

7:59 Vtuber unspoken rule. Don't tell chat what not to do, or else they'll do it even more.

I have so much respect for the person behind Mori, she's so good at playing her character and literally acting like a legit anime character

Connor: "Sorry I -" Mori: "No it's all good!" Basically this episode XD

I'll save this timestamps for a rainy day XD 1:26:10 the "Garnt notices he's drinking Corona and laughs to himself" segment 1:38:36 - 1:39:49 "a power word" effect on Connor 1:54:25 "it hits different"

Bro, watching this in Oct. 2021, seeing how much Calli has changed and grown is pretty fun.

Once they told Calli she could swear, she got comfortable as the podcast went on.

Calli is the guest, multiple mentions of Touhou, and Calli is a Critikal fan. Best episode ever.

Watching the second interview first then this was great. Cali loosened up so much just in the interview alone then going into the second was a fantastic watch

I came to this video from Hololive world… big ups to these guys for being super welcoming and good hosts and appreciating how cool it is to get a Hololive collab. This is first time I’ve seen a Hololive collab with non-Hololive period, at least in EN. Well done

Garnt: “Now we have to get an Australian V-tuber” Haachama: HAACHAMA CHAMA

Calli: "So K does doujin music." Connor: "Wait, doujin music?" Calli: "Yeah, Touhou doujin music." Connor: "...like the porn?"

Came back to this after today’s collab. It’s been so fun to watch these guys grow with the vtubers they collab with. Hololive, Vshojo or otherwise. Love what you’re doing, folks!

They need to get her back on, she has gotten so much more comfortable and confident with streaming and stuff. This is back when she put on that dere voice HEAVY. She still does sometimes but it's much more natural now.

Calliope: "I'm a huge fan of cr1tical" holy shit, yes. Actually, all of her likes that I recognised are top-grade.

"We met a virtual KZfaqr" Me: Hmmmmmmm "We met a REAL virtual KZfaqr" Me: *HMMMMMMMMMM*

connor 2020 : who and what is vtuber connor 2023 : surrounded by vtuber

Coming back to this episode of the podcast, after having fallen deep into the rabbit hole because of it, makes this episode so much more freaking awesome. I hope they have Calli back one day or maybe another member of Hololive EN. It too bad Kiara's back in "Australia" now.

Calliope: Doujin Music Connor: you mean like porn? Me: *dies laughing*

Connor: doesn't understand vtubers Vtuber: comes on podcast Connor: you're my favorite guest so far.

Now I'm really interested in how they filmed this and if Gigguk just talked to the void the whole time

“Everyday I get a little bit closer to the exact place that I wanna be” that’s such a good way to look at things and get motivated

Gigguk: Calli is with us boooyyy Everyone: But at what cost? Gigguk: Our SOUL.

Calliope: Watch Amelia cause she's toxic Me: _Agreed_

coming back to this in 2021, this was the first cross over of 2D and 3D. Ex-arm was the second cross over of 2D and 3D, how times have changed

Watching this after connor just debuted as a vtuber himself, safe to say, he definitely fell into the rabbit hole lmao.

This podcast has completely transcended weebdom Edit: did not expect this comment to blow up, thanks

Being able to have a podcast with an anime girl is the TRUE privilege of being an anituber

44:09 this fully just encapsulates me in the most blunt way. I completely relate to that

22:43 Are we watching a gigguk breakdown lolll 36:27 lollll 47:48 THE BEST

"how do you find vtubers?" "you find one and there it goes" Never heard such a detailed description to the rabbit hole

Calli: "I'm bad at making the first move" Korone: "I'm bad at making the first move" How did it end up that they would be each others first 1-on-1 EN-JP collab?

42:43 Release of an album: ✅ Getting a 3d body: ✅ Release of an E.P: ✅ Guess she reached all the goals.

Dj-jo's remix for her remix comp was legendary. Glad to hear mention of it here

Calli: "You should watch Amelia's debut stream first. It's a good start" Connor: "okay" *famous last words*

I get a lot of joy when the camera cuts to the wide shot and Mori is horribly keyframed at an angle.

How has connor transitioned from staying away from VTubers....to becoming one? This is the perfect example of that one friend you introduce anime to, and the next time you see him, he's become a complete, Poster owning, Anime Con attending,weeb

4 months later, still one of my favorite podcast that I watch / listen from time to time

Calli was such a special guest that even Garnt is lighting green.

*Calli in Trash Taste* Yagoo: kalm *Bois start talking about hentai* Yagoo: panik *Bois ask Calli if she watches hentai* Yagoo: *P A N I K* *Calli doesn't know hentai* Yagoo: kalm

This is gonna reach 4 m in least than 1 week. Nice 2nd appearance and waiting for the 3rd one, next year maybe? tho I love rewatching it

it'd be interesting to see them have another podcast with Calli one year later.
