yo, if Connor ever see's this, or someone can make him aware of this, breathing in pigeon s**t is SUPER bad for you, as in, he should speak to a doctor about it. The effects can take up to 10 years to manifest but if you get to that point, it can lead to death. < worst case scenario of course but can lead to a lot of mental complications. somebody noise him up
Connor is 100% right about us only caring about endangered species when they're cute or cool lol Biggest proof: we only ever talk about animals going extinct, but almost never about the different species of plants that are endangered. And like Garnt says, it's all about PR. It's very easy to care about this cute panda or koala, than care about this weird endemic plant that doesn't even have a common name and probably isn't close to your region. The sentiment around preventing extinction, for the general public especially, is very much influenced by the perceived usefulness of the species (if it's cute to look at like pandas, if it performs a specific job like x type of bee, if it's a food source like some fishes etc etc)
Yup.. unfortunately, as the defacto “top of the food chain” species that we are, we are now the ones who bestow value onto other species… whether that’s based on likability, Utility to us, Utility to our planet, etc.
YES! Also insects! I am still amazed at how crickets in Texas have evolved very specifically to their environments to the point that it warrants separating them into separate subspecies (hasn't been done yet, still requires further study). It makes me wonder what insects and animals we had that had evolved unique adaptations that are now extinct due to heavy urban development. We've had trees and plants go extinct as a result of it too.
Yeah. As one of my lecturers put it "there are always sexy animals that everyone wants to protect and save from extinction and study. But there's even larger amount of animals that noone gives flying fuck about because they are considered ugly and disgusting, yet are similarly indangered"
@@luke4605 Pandas are stupid and useless, its a species that is legitimately trying to make itself extinct. The only reason we spent so much effort trying to preserve these idiots is only because they are cute. Those resources are better spent elsewhere.
1:09:06 i remember following a cool artist on twitter a few years back and she had cancer, last year i was like "i haven't seen new stuff from her in a while" and looked up her account. Her 2nd to last tweet was an optimistic message along the lines "this will be a tough battle but i can do it" and the last tweet was a few days later from her brother saying she has passed. I honestly got so depressed after that. And her stuff got stolen and turned into NFTs which was what taught me that NFTs are unethical garbage.
Sorry if I'm being insensitive here but Can i ask what the Artist's name on Twitter is? I love looking at many art in different styles. Again sorry if I'm being insensitive cause of my selfish request cause of my interest. My curiosity just always gets me.
I loved her art so much and it was so heartbreaking to hear of her passing. I still look at her art every now and then. I can’t believe people stole her art like that. Especially for something stupid like NFTs..
Did anyone else notice that when Joey started talking about his friend that passed away the background music stops. But when Garnt moves on to talking about death in fiction the music starts to play again. That’s some Top Tier editing by Mudan right there really helps send home the very real story that Joey is telling that can help resonate with viewers.
The blobfish doesn't actually look like that 99% of the time. Any living blobfish will just look like a normal fish. Thing is, they live in the deep ocean where the water pressure is extremely high. This means that when they are brought to the surface their bodies decompress massively, resulting in the meme we all know. It's like taking a human body into the deep sea and then assuming the rest of the species looks like the smooshed remains.
@@htetoowaiyan435 Not sure if it was in the earlier part of the episode or they left it out altogether this time, given the serious tonal shift, but usually the song played at the opening and closing of the episodes is played quietly in the background.
I had to take a break from this episode and come back, (not for anything bad!) only because as a Stage 4 cancer survivor I had to write my first will a few days after my 22 birthday. I was given a "this could go either way" diagnosis, and to say I know exactly what Joey meant by feeling nothing. That emptiness, beyond sadness and grief, for such a "non-emotion" and hollowness, you feel like you are swallowed up inside of that feeling. There is no proper way to grieve, as much as we try to understand and help ourselves and others through the process. I'm three years in remission now, but it still feels like yesterday sometimes where I see and remember that hollow feeling, almost like it's palpable, following me around. I totally get what the bois mean about not being able to consume media that tries to tap into that sadness, or just uses that cancer/terminal illness trope as "main character uses gravestone of best friend as stepping stone for character development." Either way, I love you guys so much, and you've been with me through my healing and trying to get back to a new "normal." Thank you so much for everything
I salute you as a hero my friend ,the battle that you must've foughten in order to survive was beyound the proportions of the realm of the human mind of someone who has not gone through such an ordeal themselves can even bear to fathom, I wish you the best in life my friend a survivour such as you has my utmost respect and admiration ,thank you for managing to do the seemingly impossible feat of surviving possible and to have allowed your loved ones to have lived a future far less riddled with pain and suffering then they could have. Thank you! Your a true soldier!💪😄💯🔥
I really appreciate Mudan respectfully stopping the music at the stories about death and grief. Glad to have that part of the conversation have more space and breath.
about the kangaroo story, it probly ran away exactly because the guy punched it, a roo punch is magnitudes weaker than its legs so when they box each other they gauge strength off of punches to decide if its worth the fight (more or less), so a person punches it and the roo goes oh crap hes got a strong punch that means his kicks must be INSAIN and they bouce
I didn't realize that the music stopped when the bois started talking about death, but wow. That small change makes their words hit so much harder. It doesn't matter if they talk about useless things 90% of the times, but right then, the change of the music, really makes you listen.
I literary picked up my phone to look at the comments. Then I read your comment. I was trying to pick up the music. I was surprised there was no music, after a second Then it started again at 1:21:37.
I rarely leave a comment but Joey's story about not crying at their friend's funeral hits close to home. I lost someone close to me a couple of years ago and at their funeral ceremony, everyone around me was obviously sad and crying but I didn't get the impulse and felt 'weird' and wrong that I didn't want to cry. The whole situation was ofcourse saddening and I did feel sad it happened but I never had the urge to cry at the moment, but once everything had calmed down a bit and I had some time by myself to process what happened, it hit me and I just felt like crying by myself. Definitely relate to that feeling of not crying in the moment but once you have time by yourself to process it properly
Something similar happened to me too... I got a message from another friend that a childhood friend of mine passed away. ..for atleast a few hours when I was talking to somebody about this news, I couldn't feel much and I felt like shit. Then I sat down and informed my parents sitting close to me and then started preparing my dinner in the kitchen. I was chopping onions and I always tear up while doing so. This time though, I started crying due to the onions but it soon turned into grief for that friend and cut to me full on bawling while trying to prepare my dinner
I wasn't close with my grandparents. They were a lot older and I was one of the younger grandkids, even though we lived closest. I wasn't swallowed by the nothing when either died. Grandma was my first funeral. I didn't want to, and didn't go to the burial part. For some reason the funeral didn't bother me, but the way media always portrayed the desolation of the burial part...I just didn't want to have any part of that. Latest relative to die was my uncle, and it was a very small intimate cemetery memorial in late pandemic summer. Was even less close with him. But I ended up crying because everyone else was emotional. I was an adult though, not a teen and this would just be the beginning of saying goodbye to my relatives of the generation. And seeing them break down and be vulnerable...that was my first time with someone not my parents. Anyways back to grandparents. I didn't grieve for them ever exactly, I grieved for the loss of the home the built, a house I couldn't see again, a home I felt a part of to some extent. It was always so warm and had a specific smell...it had tree swings on an apple tree that papa put up. I miss it a lot. They made that little humble piece or paradise. So my grief for them comes in the form of sadness for the loss of that home that doesn't exist anymore at ransom intervals when I remember it and miss it.
I made myself a wonderful dinner. Spend a good hour making myself a nice medium rare steak with this really good side of potatoes. I was excited, you could even say I was hyped to eat this. I set a table down next to my computer and was so ready to enjoy my hard work. Started an episode of one of my favorite podcast. The Trash Taste bois never disappoint. This was set to be an immaculate dinner. Then the crew spent the first 20 minutes LITERALLY talking about SHIT. HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING.
As someone with a chronic disease, seeing you guy's talk about how you feel towards sad stories made me happy knowing people feel the same way I feel about these types of things ^-^
Watching this few days after Techno passed away. When you talked about goodbye videos on RU-vid, I started crying as I remembered his dad talking about it. These videos are really hard to watch. Techno never dies.
I'm shocked Garnt didn't say his will was going to be a gacha. I can imagine 2 adult kids doing pulls one after another, hoping to get the SSR house pull
Joey's story about the funeral was really relatable for me, my grandmother, a friend, and my newborn baby cousin died this march and I didn't shed a single tear. It felt wrong of me to be so, but I feel validated now.
This episode definitely hit different, especially when the background music even the memeing stopped . Respect to the boys for voicing out these topics.
Joey perfectly described the emptiness after a person you know, possibly loved, is gone. You just don't feel anything until you actually comprehend the fact that your friend is gone. You know they are dead, but your mind can't understand it and so you don't feel anything until the realisation sets in.
For me, it was my dad. He'll have passed 3 years ago this year. The first year and a half was just feeling like a part of me was missing. One of the worst feelings is when something happens, and you think to yourself, "I should tell so and so", and then you remember they're gone. And it can fuck you up. The anxiety attacks and depression that hit me after my dad's death, ended with me being put on Prozac, which thankfully has helped. That empty feeling still comes up, but it just becomes your new normal. You can't ever really fill the void.
@@War624 A lot of my family came over from out of state this last weekend to go to my dad's funeral and we had a great time catching up and celeberating his life and at the end I thought about going to tell him about it and realized "wait this is for his funeral" knowing I couldnt tell him. It seems weird like this is his funeral yet i still for some reason thought he was alive for that split second.
Fun facts about wasps: Wasps eat many “nuisance” animals, small bugs, rodents, spiders, etc. Most common species (i.e. Yellowjackets, Hornets, etc.) are eusocial and work in hives. They are also “cleaner” insects that will get rid of detritus. A good way to think of these wasps is as flying aggressive ants, they eat and fight just about anything if they can get the chance. There are exceptions, and those species are generally hunters of small pray, they fill a similar role as centipedes and mantises.
Huge difference between Australian wasps and ants - most ants eats dead things except fire ants but wasp eats live things including biting and stabbing human.
When they were talking about the box of bees, I thought to myself "I'd do it for a hundred bucks" and when they started saying for how much they'd do it for, I was like "Wtf is wrong with me" lol
Damn dude, when Joey started bringing up the story about that empty feeling, for some reason that almost broke me rethinking past events. I went from laughing hysterically about animals and the circle of life to real conversations about death...
1:03:00 When the bois started talking about Wills and Life Insurance it had me choked up even though they're meming. Life is short and can be taken from you at any moment early on. I'm 22, not successful in any capacity because we are of lower class, and i'm losing my mom to cancer really soon and shes in her mid 40's. I'm hanging on but when she's gone, i'll have no parents left and i'll be lost without my mom cuz she was always there. I never take shit for granted anymore. I wish no one else has to go through what i do at my age. And thank god this podcast is around because it helps take my mind off the stress.
Hey there. I know what you're going through. I lost my old man just a few weeks ago to cancer. All I can tell you is that we're vagabonds in this world and the next one we go to is so much better. It was hard to let him go, but I'm at peace knowing he's in a better place. And I know he's waiting there for me. Regardless of the peace of heart and mind I feel, I still miss him deeply and I think of him every now and then. What you're going through is one of the toughest things you'll ever have to endure, but I guarantee you it's going to make you so much stronger than you've ever been. A kind of strength that cannot be quantified. Hang in there.
I lost my dad a little over a month ago, and i couldnt cry properly for him, spent two weeks in bed, and calming my mom because she still cries a lot for him, it wasnt until you talked about loss and it clicked for me, it feels empty in the heart, and it fucking hurts, thank u so much
The tortoise conversation almost killed me lol I'm sick with a throat pain laughing my ass off while dying in pain literally crylaughing for multiple reasons 😂😂 thanks Connor you almost killed me
This podcast just made me shed tears while spacing out and I'm not quite sure why. How did the bois go from talking about animals to talking about death lmao. This particular episode sure is depressing
fr man idk why but i just started tearing up when i really really thought about death. it also reminded me of the one vrchat story where the guys girlfriend got extremely ill out of nowhere - that one hits you like a truck.
The rolling is just the hornet struggling - the heat comes from the bees flapping their wings furiously and raising their own internal temperature to just below the honeybee's max limit.
Only on trash taste can the subject go from talking about cute animals, to crying and to sports haha. I love this Podcast, never fails to lighten up my day😁
I'm glad they talked about this. As a guy who dosen't have anyone to bounce sad feelings off of. It really helps to know i'm not the only one who just has empty cries. That there are others who didn't cry at the sight of loved ones dying. It takes me weeks, months, years for me to cry about those simple things. There's a breaking point for everyone but it's hard to tell where it is, if throughout your whole life. You only have yourself to really scale it on. It's good to cry but it's so hard to get yourself to admit these things that have happened
I personally don't interpret the emptiness of grief as "beyond sadness". I think they're equally powerful emotions and in my own experience it's just a constant alternation between crippling grief and sadness, emptiness, acceptance and so on.
as someone with a hereditary failing kidney that my doctors deemed that it will never be cured hearing the boys talk about mortality made me scared, made me shed a tear... just a lil bit and almost glad in a way.
Fun fact The Giant Tortus actually indirectly helped cause the extinction of the Dodo. The Dodo apparently tasted bad to everyone who tried it. Then one day someone had the idea to cook the bird with the fat from the tortus. That spelled the end for the Dodo
The day my father died, I sat on my kitchen counter~ Time moved so fast, I only came to when my brother broke that silence and hugged me. We cried together until we couldn't anymore. At the funeral it was a happiness for my father, who will transcend into a higher level finally getting his peace after bringing us, his kids, to the land of opportunity. That was 7 years ago.
This has to be one of my favorite episodes because of how different and interesting the topics that were talked about were. I know that's like literally every Trash Taste episode but this one HIT DIFFERENT!!!! REAL DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!
1:20:20 This is the real shit. I watched my girlfriend pass away from a pulmonary embolism and I didn't cry in the moment, but I was pretty much in shock. Once I got home I was just sitting on my bed processing everything that happened. I couldn't sleep for a week. If I did manage to sleep, I had nightmares. I tried to watch a show to take my mind off of everything. I watched Anohanna. The ending finally broke me and I couldn't stop crying. I now make it a point to watch the show once a year in her memory.
@@FLracing597 It is believed that consuming part of someone will allow their spirit to live with you forever, so by saying this it is implying they want to be with them forever. It is also believed that when you have a diseased organ, that by eating that same organ you can heal that, so it is also that she wanted to live.
Im sad that Grant didn't bring up One Piece when they spoke about crying to a piece of media, you know its special when Oda pushes himself to tears when writing the emotional climaxes scattered throughout One Piece.
Wow, that's conversation on death. Really did hit close to home. My father pass away awhile back and I definitely remember not crying during the funeral. At the time I chalked it up to pride or something, trying to be the man of the house. Ultimately, it was emptiness. The crying didn't really happened till much later and and it came and went in waves. I can totally agree it's hard to put those feelings into words.
The problem with Rabbits in Australis is that australia has 0 predators that will actively hunt them, Crocodiles wil never hunt them, there aren't enough dingos for controlling them etc, like Connor said in the UK they have foxes and other predators that will actively hunt them, also even when they were introduced in the Americas, the continent is full of big and small predator that will hunt them, like Foxes, Wolfs, Cheetas, Ocelots, Coyotes, Hawks, Eagles etc, Australis has nothing of that so they can thrive with no issue, something similar is happening in Colombia with Hippos.
@@icarusmarioFAN Pablo Escobar bought some Hippos for his private Zoo, when he was killed the hippos managed to escape the Zoo and sinceteh Hippos has been thriving in Colombia, the country has perfect climate all the year for the Hippos and also there;s 0 predators that can do anything to them, right know ecologist and enviromentalist are still debating if they are good for the Colombian eco system or not, but it has become a mess.
@@Ms666slayer I recently read somewhere that they finally decided to sterilize all the Colombian hippos, so that's a problem that should solve itself soon enough
@@11fladjams Yes the want to do that, but that doesn't mean they can do that, Hippos are sneaky bastards they can hide prety well even in shallow waters, so the hippo population estimate is just that an stimate there's proably more than they think, and because they love to be in rivers and Colombia has fuck ton of them, they can be already spread really wide trough the river system that sterilization could become almost impossible, i do thnk that it will slow the spread, but i think they already got to thepoint of no return, they should have started that years before.
Joey I think that emptiness you feel during a time you ‘should’ grieve isn’t because you’re desensitized or something’s wrong with you, I believe it’s just like physical pain When you get physical pain or hit by something it’s NEVER immediate, there’s a time of DELAY, and I believe that emptiness is that delay before the pain registers because sooner or later you always crack
Joey's story reminded me of an elementary classmate. He was my bully, died of cancer. Couldn't feel anything. Part of me even felt relieved. It's disgusting. But still weirdly sad. It was a loss of life. And regardless of how they treated me, they were still present for a large part of my life. Knowing that I wouldn't see them anymore, ever, is a sad thought.
Connor: "Do you know why, for the longest time, they never gave the giant tortoise a genome, like an official genome name?" 39:16 Joey: "So does it have a genome now?" 41:50 As someone with a biology degree, I couldn't stop laughing when they kept saying "genome" instead of genus Yes, please, tell my why we never gave tortoises their DNA, and if they NOW possess genetic information XD I'm not trying to be mean, it's an easy mistake to make, it's just really funny to me hahaha
I actually thought they were talking about genome as in we didn't have a data of their genome because people kept eating them, then they talked about classifying the animal. It was funny
@@eveakane6563 yeah that's why I said I wasn't trying to be mean, I know that it's not something they're expected to know, but that it still sounded so funny to me
I've been a huge fan of Trash Taste and have been a silent viewer since this channel started but I just wanted to come out and say how happy I get every time you guys mention Elden Ring (including Connor's tweets LOL) because it was the first video game project (that isn't a concert) that I got credited for as a music recording coordinator. I'm super happy to hear that you guys are enjoying it! Can't wait til Garnt joins the Elden Ring train!😁 &Thank you all so much for always bringing fun content!! Watching/listening to your videos is my daily morning routine and I love all the relatable topics you guys cover as foreigners living in Japan. Also finally checked out Hobgoblin in Shibuya after Joey recommended their fish and chips!😆 Unfortunately, they weren't serving them when I went since it was a late time so I plan on going back again (amazing nachos though)!😂
Its how we pronounce it in England. Ya know, where the language originates 🙃 "The word “tortoise” comes from the Middle English word tortuse. The spelling of it was influenced by the ending of “porpoise,” which literally means “pig-fish".' we also pronounce porpoise as por-pus
I love how mudan turns off the chill music, when they started talking about death and illnesses. Really added weight to what was being talked about. 👍👍
1:24:44 there are times when I start feeling sad and the process of crying is happening when I'm watching something BUT THEN THEY DON'T GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME to sink in... It's like bruh, you just teased my sadness... *wtf.*
My parents were so gung-ho about making our old family home as pest free, rats specifically, as possible. What they told me was that the most you can really do to avoid mouse problems when making houses is through the design itself. No hanging wires running perpendicular to roofs, creating entrances with as small a gap as possible at the bottom (if a baby's pinky can go through; it's too big a gap), metal doors maybe even double doors, cement foundation and thick cement walls, no gaps in the walls and ceilings, double pane windows with a metal frame. These alone triple the cost, at least, but these dirty mfkers ain't getting in easy. They can still get in, but it's through human error if anything. Other pests, like insects and stuff, can still get in, but it's not an infestation (or even a constant issue)
As someone who studies wasps for my PhD, wasps are highly diverse and pretty much fill every single niche you can think of! They pollinate, eat pest insects, parasitize pest insects, eat decaying matter, they're a jack of all trades! It does bother me when people just call all wasps assholes when there are 150,000 described species and estimated 1,000,000 + worldwide. They're so beneficial and the backbones of so many food webs. Especially in agriculture where wasps are one of the most effective forms of pest controls. And only some wasps sting! Most are non-stinging! Idk I just think they're so cool and very maligned
@@Megenos hornets are a type of wasp. Very important carnivores! They can be a little aggressive, but in my experience, as long as you stay calm and ignore them, they'll ignore you. They only really attack if they have a reason to, like protecting their nest
. . . Getting to the death section of this video really struck a cord with me especially after the Technoblades So Long Nerds. Especially when Connor brought up another dude who died with cancer, I was actually gonna cry. o7 . . .
What Joey said here at 1:20:53 "It's just so incredibly difficult to show that real emotion, especially when it's with a bunch of characters that you didn't spend your entire highschool life with" That is very true in most cases, but for me personally I can think of one particular show that has managed to do exactly that and left such a huge emotional impact on me that I will never forget it in my life. When I was growing up and attending secondary school (from class 5 to 10, we don't have high school or something) that was the time SCRUBS was airing. And TV channels used to do a lot of re-runs of episodes early afternoon and show new ones in the evening, so for more than 6 years I watched at least one episode every single weekday and it has shaped me into the person I am now the most. Everything that happened to the characters I always felt like I was a part of and was a part of me and it felt like as if that had happened to friends. That evoked emotions in me I didn't even know I had in the first place. Needless to say, I felt pretty empty inside when it finished airing its final episodes, but hey, at least we got an incredibly satisfying conclusion to our journey. I still have to watch a better series finale to this day.
The whole talk about Joey feeling Empty, and not crying at a funeral until he got home was exaclty what i felt when my Father passed away. I just felt empty, and i did not believe it was true, until i got home and realised that now its just my Mom and i living alone. Emptiness is what i felt.
I lost my mother to cancer at a young age, so I rarely get emotional about death scenes in general. I get way more emotional about just random shit like something being very uwu or somebody being very kind.
1:40:00 Actually no Joey, it's not actually 7 days straight. In game time there's two achievements/trophies for 5 and 7 days, but the 7 days takes about 14 hours straight, and your hp is constantly ticking down about every 100 seconds. Healing items are extremely limited, but survivors from the game are enemies that drop items when they're killed, so that's how you survive, by stealing items from them when they die. Zombies are also there, so you can still take damage and die normally, and you have to start from the beginning, no checkpoints. A good way, I've seen, is to get these magazines, that have items heal more, to make them last longer. But yeah tldr it's not actually days irl but still a long long while, lol
The moment Joey talked about his friend he lost, just hit soooo fucking hard man. "Recently" lost my dear uncle and it was the same. After the call with the family member in our homecountry we just sat at the diner table and said nothing, for 5 mins. After that the fucking sobing began. Was so hart to swallow that he was no longer here. Just thinking about it make me tear up. All the strength to anyone losing someone very dear you. The world keeps spinning even thos someone very important is missing. Stay strong guys!
When they were talking about the hornets VS bees I was like, "they're talking about 2 parts of the same documentary!" Finally someone who agrees that Belle was not fantastic. It was super pretty, but MAN the story was all over the place.
When you watch these sad stories most of them show you emotions and motivations of the characters, and you get to see some rationalisations of the situation, some conclusions or maybe get to know these characters better. But in real life when you loose someone there is no "conclusion". You don't get to know someone better- it is just you, sitting on the couch, and the same thoughts over and over again, without any epilogue to come and wrap up this story nicely. No moral to learn, no purpose to this - now you have lost something important forever, best thing you can do is forget it and move on. Real life tragedies fucking suck
1:19:00 Hearing Joey talking about how the emptiness just stop you from feeling sad is making me feel better. Within last 6 years, I lost my Grandmother and my father. I was just feeling soo empty at that point and I can completely relate to Joey here
