Sitting Down with YouTube’s Top Streamer (ft.  

THIS WAS INSANELY FUN TO BE A PART OF anyway please vote 5 stars on my wikifeet

Gigguk had me in actual tears when he asked Ludwig "now that you've been streaming on RU-vid for awhile now, do you think it has the opportunity to complete with blip in the future?". Hilarious mistake.

Ludwig was insanely natural, the boys ACTUALLY TALKED ANIME, and there wasn't a single time I was bored with this episode. Absolute banger, boys.

Ludwig: pulls his pants down. The Bois: *panik* Ludwig: shows his tattoo. The Bois: *Ok not panik... Damnit*

Damn Ludwigs chemistry with them all is top tier. He seems like a 4th host and not just the guest. One of the best episodes

I love how every guest on the American set progressivly slouches more on the Couch

I don’t know how, but Ludwig finds a way to get into every single community. He appears in OTV, MrBeast, Trash Taste, etc. He somehow gets into their friend groups. Actually all of those friend groups are connected after quarantine.

*the toothbrush scene discussion* Garnt: "I'm gonna defend this because-" Connor: "Ofc you would defend this it's brother & sister shit!" I love the attacking here 😂😂😂😂

Legitimately the 18-nut talk is the most I’ve ever laughed to Trash Taste.

Connor: Name another show you cried over an octopus Me: *Never fully recovering after the end of assassination classroom*

I went full circle lol I discovered Ludwig through him reacting to Trash Taste's setup, now he's a guest in an episode of Trash Taste

Oh god, hearing Ludwig mention Jerma makes me want Jerma to be a guest on the podcast. I can't even imagine how that would play out, and that makes me want to see it even more.

LETS GOOO THE LUDWIG EPISODE IS FINALLY HERE!!!!

this episode felt so weird because as opposed to all the other "guests", i watch Lud a lot, so it didn't really "feel" like it was a "guest episode" as much as i thought it would, it was just another video with them hanging out and chatting about different shit.... which i suppose is a pretty good indicator of how well they vibe together!

For the chicken tikka masala claim - it was believed to be made by a Bengali chef in an Indian restaurant located in Scotland. The dish itself is a slight variation of other Indian curries. Culturally it's south Asian, so calling it a "Scotish dish" is a stretch. It's like saying a dish created by a Japanese chef is "American" because the Japanese restaurant is located in San Francisco, lol

The term isn't 'meat lottery', it's a 'meat raffle'. When I lived on campus for university my housemate won the meat raffle at the local pub all the time. Sausages, steaks, beef roasts etc...so great as a poor uni student!

I always forget how Ludwig can be incredibly analytical and insightful when he isn't just fucking around and making jokes.

I don't know why, but both Garnt and Connor look as if they drank their livers away the day before recording this, woke up, threw some clothes on and went right into making the podcast. Meanwhile Joey is just contemplating existence on the side and then there is Ludwig, looking all fancy.

Ludwig pronouncing "HIMYM" like it's a word is certifiable

about to finish it. This is one of the best episodes imo. Lud just was able to insert himself so effortlessly and the vibe he had with the boys was great.

“It’s the called the old man of the mountain” I bet Garnt was bursting at the seams not to yell out “Fate! Fate!” at that

A blessed day of new Trash Taste and The Yard episodes with a special crossover

Stellar episode boys. I really hope they have Ludwig on TT again, I need more anime discourse from them, considering they missed some big ones like Demon Slayer, Your Name, etc.

ive been watching through all of the trash taste episodes and its so surreal to, last week, watching a like hour and a year old episode talk about a major earthquake happening in japan, while also an earthquake happening recently, and this episode talking about content creators retiring after so many people retired with the last two months

I love how Lud just kept sinking in to the couch through out the whole episode.

Finally, the America arc guest I was definitely the most looking forward to since seeing Connor on the Yard

God the "my mom found my RU-vid channel so I stopped" hits so hard, even if it's something mom would be legit proud of you for, the embarrassment when you're not used to that kind of attention is so terrifying

The communal aspect of being able to chat during a react video is the great thing about live react content. I would still watch a streamer react to a video Ive already seen to see how they (like the name implies) “react” to it along with the viewers in chat who would be part of the same community. It’s a very different experience compared to just watching it on your own.

Hopefully now someone can back Connor whenever he has an opinion to make things more even.

Man Ludwig fits in so naturally with the boys. Great episode.

I listened to this on spotify but had to come here to say that this episode was incredible, you guys vibe with lud so well and it was so fun to listen to, you really gotta bring him back whenever you get the chance to

“I thought Heinz had a monopoly on beans, i thought it was illegal to bake your own beans”- CDawgVA, 2022

It’s nice for Trash Taste to support small streamers

Grant: thank you for buying tickets Me, who hasn’t because they’re not coming to my city: you’re welcome

Most likely the most I've laughed in a TT Episode, insanely good

It's so refreshing hearing trash taste talk about anime lmao. Thank you Lud

I don't know why it made me crack up so hard, but the transition Connor made from Gordon Ramsey to hentai and how DIRECT he asked the question of "Do you watch hentai?" threw me off guard.

That did not disappoint even though I had been building it up in my mind for weeks. Hands down my favourite episode yet. Connor and Ludwig are magic together and having Garnt there to structure the conversation was just the best of all worlds; truly this is the *best* timeline.

Loved the episode! Also Im so glad you guys added a second date to LA

Loving the episode from 254 Nairobi Kenya, Ludwig is super relatable and i loved how the boys engaged in a free flowing conversation with him

you know when Lud leaked that he had recorded an episode with the boys, I thought it was gonna come out back in July- boy was i off the mark

Excited to listen to the audio version on Spotify during my shift! I’ll see you on the tour! Cheers

Ludwig: doesn't watch all of Fullmetal Alchemist because it's too long also Ludwing: watches all of Hunter x Hunter

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

I've been bingewatching Lud's content these last couple of days. This came at the exact perfect time for me.

I did some research following season 2 of The Promised Neverland and learned that a possible reason for the removal of Goldy Pond and everything else revolved around censorship. Apparently kids handling guns was a big no no and the kids are basically armed to the hilt from Goldy Pond onward in the manga. Obviously it’s just a theory, but it would make sense since the kids only used bows and arrows in season 2 where as the mothers did have guns in the final episodes. On an unrelated note The Disastrous Life of Saiki K is really funny and even has a satisfying ending in my expert opinion.

Joey saying “Nut: Busted!” needs more recognition that shit was hilarious

this was so fun to watch! i just love the chemistry u guys got with ludwig and it was also cool to see u guys talk about anime again lol

As an avid enjoyer of trash taste and a member of Ludwig's channel is brings me great joy

So glad I bought my ticket for the Austin show earlier. Can't believe every venue completely sold out. 😅 So hype to see the boys.

Hearing him say he dropped full metal at the episode that makes me cry just thinking about it is rage enducing lol. Ed breaking through the door to promise he'll come back for Alphonse while the ending song plays. Tears man

Waited ages for this, so worth the wait!

I have peaked in happiness… the three podcasts I watch have all colabed with each other one way or another

love hearing about the meta of streaming and the streamer market in general so i been hyped for this episode

1:57:10 Ludwig's reaction to everything Garnt says in this little rant is soooooo funny

This ep was just as fun as expected with Lud having great synergy with the bois

This episode was super fun, but I shall not tolerate Saiki K slander

Been looking forward to this ep since you guys left Japan

Best episode yet,they talked about each other,feet,anime and native genocide 10/10 episode

My problem with FMA:B being considered the best of all time is that it's been on that pedestal for so long, it is now just assumed the default. Nothing is ever allowed to even try to challenge it. You see it every time a new popular show comes out and people on MAL lose their minds at the idea it might dethrone their golden child.

Eva and Bokurano are similar in premise and general themes (kids driven to grow up under an obligation to fight giant robots) but I feel they're still distinct. It's been a while since I've watched/read either but when I think of Eva I think more of the idea of vulnerability and acceptance between flawed people in a world that's becoming increasingly interconnected to the point it's overwhelming and desensitizing. (This probably isn't the intended intepretation but when I think of the Third Impact - all of humanity in one big frothing sea of thought and emotions - I think of the Internet. And whenever is see a vitriolic online exchange deescalate because someone was willing to be open and human and vulnerable with someone else I think of that final scene) My recollection of Bokurano on the other hand was more general themes of existentialism and growing up? Making sacrifices and compromises, accepting that you and other people will be hurt in life and that this cycle will go on in perpetuity; all various ideas of these kids entering the real world. Granted I think Evangelion's themes overlap heavily with all of these, but Eva *really* focuses on certain ones - to the point of arguably beating them to death? And as Garnt mentioned, Bokurano makes more of an effort to articulate its ideas, while Eva is really just "laying itself bare". "Getting" Eva isn't a matter of being smart, just being in the right headspace. But for what it's worth I remember way more about Evangelion's themes despite having seen it around the same time as Bokurano and liking both works similar amounts. I absolutely get why Eva doesn't hit a lot of the time, but when it does it can really stick with you. In short, my impression is Bokurano seemed like a more comprehensive examination of mortality/growing up, while Eva fixated on specific aspects (inadequacy, vulnerability, emotional connections). However, again, I consumed both these stories years ago so these are probably just vague recollections at best. I'm sure other commenters will correct me on a lot of this - it might be fun rewatch/reread them soon with this comparison in mind? But at the very least I feel confident in my impression that Bokurano isn't just "Eva but better". Though I do definitely agree that if you're looking for a different approach on a similar premise to Eva's (if you find Eva's approach too repetitive/pretentious/etc.), then Bokurano is a good suggestion. Which is probably what Connor meant anyway.

Finally the episode we all knew was coming

I love when they talk about American things because it makes me aware of how much culture we really have. lol All those sodas they are arguing about started as medicinal concoctions. My favorite is Sarsaparilla but it's only available from boutique soda breweries (real soda requires a fermentation process, but with the end product having marginal alcohol content), so it's kind of expensive. Locally there is even a guy brewing honey sodas from different types of honey, but I haven't gotten to try it yet.

this episode is up there with the chris and jan ones. ludwig fit really well with the boys and everything just felt natural. i also couldn’t stop laughing the whole entire time

I've only watched a couple Trash Taste podcasts, but this is the most I've ever seen them talk about anime

Another absolute legend on Trash Taste. It really feels like he could be one of the TT bois. Same energy.

I lost my shit when Garnt covered his ears to avoid FMA:B spoilers at 1:38:37

Connor always going at it with the guests. That smash convo was funny.

The cat episode was amazing I absolutely loved the cat episode in CG The idea that this dude super genius trying to conquer the world had his worst nemesis in a freaking stray cat Masterpiece

The reason youtube streaming hasn't taken off is because they make it a nightmare to find. You won't know someone is livestreaming unless your already subbed to them. So they have to be big with their edited content to do well with streaming.

This was such a good ep

I think I need a recap like this every monday now!

The highly anticipated episode finally dropped let's GOOOO

I've been waiting for this and it's finally here, the collab between two of my favorite content creators :o

Loved this episode

Brilliant episode!!

We ALL knew this was coming, glad it's finally here LUL already know this going to be proper content. Big Pog

Finally it’s here! I’d say this is up there with the ProZD episode for me. I am a little disappointed Ludwig didn’t do his “boys!”thing. Alright now to listen to the episode again

**Ludwig I didn’t finish FML** Me: “My god what have you done the horde is coming EVERYONE BRACE YOURSELF’S”

Only 2 hours of interviews and Connor already decided to slap Ludwig

This one and the dream episode is definetely my favorites, probably gonna rewatch them like 10 times

The chef Garnt was thinking of when he talked about cooking food from diff cultures at 1:12:10 was Chef Jon Kung I wanna say! He makes great YT shorts

That ending "you can find it if you want, live your life" made me respect him more for some reason

AWESOME EPISODE

Damn, this year’s guests are killing it.

Tbh I don't think I enjoyed Saiki for the humour, I just really liked that he was sort of apathetic to the wacky world around him. Like shit do be kinda wild and he's so fuckin deadpan. You can also kind of see it in Sakamoto, he's got a lot of composure despite all the crazy shit he's doing

Fully agree on the One Piece anime comments. Sometimes the episodes are really lacking but other times it is just incredibly detailed and top tier animation. I just watch and read haha. What a great episode! :) It felt like the podcast had 4 hosts.

was a fantastic episode, i was laughing so hard man

I never clicked faster on an episode of TT in my life. I only started watching Lud after he did a couple collabs with Conoor, and I was super excited to see him with the rest of the boys. Definitely a great episode!

The animation for SAO Alicization is really good. That's honestly 90% of the reason I watched SAO, but the story wasn't that bad with the themes they were going for. I'd give Alicization a 7.5/10 Overall, but probably a 9/10 on animation. Those fight scenes are so good.

Connor's question where he asked "name another anime where you cried over an octopus" 1:44:29 i was like.... Assassination classroom...

The one thing I like about boys is how open they are to any topic they talk about even the sponsorship ad of Manscaped

Ludwig is such a lad, this was such a blast to watch. One of my fav guests by far!

Finally, my boy Ludwig getting an episode all to himself + the boys ofc.

finally someone that agrees with me on brotherhood .i didnt even think it was possible to find someone else

1:42:20 The first anime I got really hooked on, but didn't realize it was discontinued as 'Hikaru no Go'. Not only the anime was cancelled, but the manga as well. Another one is 'Baby Steps', a sports anime. Truly unfortunate that these great shows were not continued.

1:00:06 Technically it's not racist. It is definitely discrimination though which I'm pretty sure isn't allowed in France. But if 2 french people move to another country and they get a child, but they don't teach that child French, then that child would still not be allowed to get in while a French speaking Asian would be allowed in. So from what is said in the podcast ethnicity doesn't play a role in their discrimination. Therefore it's not racism. Discrimination based on language is often part of racism though, so I wouldn't be surprised if racism is the root of the discrimination. There's an overlap between the two and during a conversation it's very easy to say the technically incorrect word. I just think it's an interesting topic so I felt like rambling a bit about it :)

Connor was so annoyed about the Welsh thing that his accent genuinely seemed to change after doing the forced one

This is my fave ep yet

When you asked “when was the last time you cried because of an octopus”. No one said ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM and it hurt me mentally 🫡
