WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND JAPANESE | Trash Taste #73 

I personally like Connors idea about having to present an anime a month I think that would be fun!!!

Whenever Connor is the host, Joey in the middle, and Garnt in the other rear, I always feel there'll be a hot debate coming

Grant: i'm an engineer, i have a practical mindest. Garnt 10 minutes later: I didn't know glass was heavy.

I kept misshearing "Agent" as "Asian" so hearing things like "Chris Pratt's Asian has this on lock" was fucking hilarious

Garnt the only one who watches anime is such a hero's journey cicle. He once again proved that he's the protagonist.

Gigguk Actually experienced the Life cycle of a weeb he himself explained to us 😂😂😂

Joey: “The one Welsh trash taste fan be like” Me: That’s me!

This is just turning into the aging weebs podcast and I'm here for it

Connor:" I wear drip, they wear outfits - it's not the same" By far one of his best takes defending his Jojo obsession

Did Garnt forget that the people of earth told Goku to piss off, and the only reason they gave him energy was a celebrity endorsement?

Joey: “This may be the first time in my life I’ve never understood the opposite opinion” Me who has seen all the food arguments: “he lied as naturally as he breathed”

It's funny that the DragonBall scenario that they laid out was what actually happened when Goku tried to collect the energy for the Genki-dama. The populace of Earth were basically, "Who's this guy?" and flat out refused. It was only until their equivalent of President The Rock, Mr Satan spoke, that they complied.

Thank you Connor. Because of your S-Tier drip, Garnt is going to buy everyone JoJo suits out of spite. I see this as an absolute win.

“At the back of the book, there’s a glossary of terms that you need to understand the book” - Joey discovers epic fantasy/sci-fi

As a linguistics nerd I’m so happy to hear them talk about sociolinguistics 😭

My favorite part of the episode was, without a doubt, when you guys discussed linguistics, and hearing your perspectives on the matter. I personally find the subject very fascinating, especially the study of the Indo-European language family. I hope you guys continue to engage in more thought-provoking conversations in the future.

I’d very much like to see them do that “anime book club” thing even if it’s only a segment in a larger episode

The bois: "Nah, we don't think the viewers would like a book club style thing for anime" Also the bois: " CONVENIENCE STORE SOCK TRADE AND REVIEW SPECIAL, LET'S GOOOO"

The gym thing is SO true. I really enjoy it when I'm there, I feel great afterwards, but for some reason you still have to force yourself to go. It's soooo easy to say "meh, fuck it, I'm feeling a bit tired, I'll go tomorrow..." I find having a workout partner to go with really helps make sure you go because you don't want to let down the other person.

garnt: thinks about "do people need to understand culture to learn language? connor: thinks about " do ppl pull their pants up after or before they flush"

We really need Ashley as a guest and have him go ham about movies. He seem enthusiastic.

"Get your mans" "This ain't my mans, man." For some reason, I died laughing at this line.

Never in my life did I expect Connor of all people to be the one suggesting monthly anime reviews lmao Personally I like hearing about anime but I like it in bits Thats why the podcast is so good, there's just a bit of everything for everyone

Keanu is genuinely just an awesome person tbh, never met anyone hate on him.

Don't know if anyone already made Trash Taste bingo list so I tried to make one : 1. Garnt mention about working at the BBC [✓] 2. Complain about Japan [✓] 3. Reminder that this is an anime podcast [✓] 4. Connor really loves Jojo [✓] 5. Deep talk about life [✓] 6. Things that happen when you become an adult [✓] 7. Joey and Garntt sync moment [Not sure if it appear but I will just put it here] 8. Talk about shit [Only mention as a joke so up to debate] 9. Complain about America [Just a very quick mention so up to debate too] Bonus - Chris Broad presence in the podcast despite not being a guest Also sorry if there's wrong grammar.

57:07 I'd love to see them watch one anime per month and discuss it. Hoping it's Komi san 😆

2:18:00 I really like what gigguk said about no one really standing for anything and instead just being built around what they hate.

"you can't learn a language without learning the culture". Counterpoint: English. It's so much a lingua franca right now, that you don't really need to know anything to learn it

Joey laughing at Daniel Craig not having kissing rankings while he has his Anime Convention Girlfriend Rankings cracks me up for some reason.

damn Garnt talking about how he now has nobody to talk about anime was so relatable. I feel the same way, but at least he has a big platform to vent about it. For me its almost a source of depression. Also this podcast was like a place I liked visiting, hearing about Anime every now and then, sure not every episode, but its sad if they stop caring or talking about it at all. I would love Connors idea about presenting anime a month...

Garnt describing goku's spiritbomb with modern nations was fucking amazing

I love the conversation about languages and linguistics, there's something so pure and beautiful about how humans have tried to communicate, its so complex and often broken but at the same time is so endearing and amazing.

The length of these podcasts lately have really been makin my week

It's nice seeing Connor say that's hes reached a point in his life where hes coming up with his own opinions on if something is good or not. His monke brain has fully matured, lol.

On decoration planning, you can photoshop, but making it in the sims is SO much more fun! Love room planning in sims!

When Gigguk was talking about “water flowing from the heart” all I could think of is “southern hospitality” being from the States.

Dude, Michael Jackson transcended being just "popular". Man was known out in the rural countryside of any country. Nothing compares to the hype and music of his time. People back in the 70s and 80s were crazy over their favorite musical artists.

Next time I'm coming to Japan I definitely wanna say hi to you guys! But since I've been there twice already, I won't tire you with Karaokes, Touristy things etc haha, how about a smash bros tournament instead?

the opening claps | 20:41 plop | 25:37 za rokku | 30:05 this morning | 45:17 huh, I feel u Garnt | 1:00:25 white wall = true | 1:06:37 glass heavy | 1:17:25 socks | 1:28:07 letters r scary | 1:31:23 not by much | 1:39:27 | 1:47:05 diff language diff person | 1:56:02 no it's not | 2:03:38 France | 2:09:08 transformers- | 2:10:02 the UK is on fire | 2:10:57 eigo wakaranai

I honestly love it when you guys talk about the different countries because it makes me think about my own country :') as someone who doesn't have international friends and at the moment cant travel, listening to you guys is really fascinating

Joey has one of the most contagious laughs ever

For a podcast called "trash taste", you guys have one of the most balanced takes on listening to different opinions :)

Covid was a weird revelation of of procrastination. “Working from home I’m going to have so much time to watch anime and play video games.” I too found myself reading books.

"Its nice to watch some one who enjoys their job" I think we all can agree this is why we like Trash Taste!

Dude, Connor coming in with the real hot take. Telling off 86? Bold, but weirdly in character. Personally, I loved it.

I wouldn't say frank herbert used made up terms, as someone who speaks arabic fluently and who read the books as a teenager many many years ago, I would say the names were some of the most captivating themes at the start of the novel for me at that age, because they are not like random words at all, to cite a few: Gom Jabbar: Powerfull People. Powerful (Jabbar) People (Kom in classic arabic, Gom in most bedouin dialects) Chai Khouloud: Eternal Creature. I don't remember if Chai being an evolution of Cheikh was canon, glossary? it was a long time ago, if it is it would mean Old Wise (Cheikh is the male term, Cheikha for female), but if it isn't it would be even better, because Chai means 'something' or 'creature' so literally, Creature (Chai) of Eternity (Khouloud). But the one I always loved was Muaddib itself, because it tells you so much. Muaddib comes from the Adab, which means literature, art but also good manners, Adab comes from the root verb Addaba which means to teach manners, a root verb with this transformation has usually a negative consonance to it , ***** in this case the transformation is Fa''ala, verb in arabic is called Fi'l, almost all words in the language can be extracted by fixed transformations and adding prefixes and suffixes of the 3 root syllables corresponding to F, ' and L in any verb, in Addaba the 3 root syllables are ADB, transformed by Fa''aLa it becomes ADDaBa, use ISTaF'ala and it becomes Istaadaba meaning showing good manners, and so on and so on, lol crash course in classical arabic, who asked?! *****, anyway the negativity comes because it carries the meaning of doing something into someone, but in this case given the root itself it also means that the someone doesn't have manners! So in Arabic Addaba is never usually used in positive terms, it conveys some kind of non peaceful teaching, lol. Then the subject is extracted, Mu'addib (Mufa'iil from Addaba), therefore "The one who teaches manners"! For me the first time I read the books, I just stopped, why would he name him Mu'addib and not something normal like Mu'allim ('Allama root 'Ilm, science, knowledge) meaning teacher of knowledge, which is the regular way to say teacher or even Mudarriss (Darrassa, Darss, lecture, course), he goes for Mu'addib, I knew right there and then there was something very fishy about the guy! but I also loved the books and the author and the research and the fact that the words made sense because it gave the story a sense. I also loved the movie, ending it here, I wasn't planning to write this much! Keep up the good work. I usually have you in the background while eh... working too! 😅

Hii I love your takes on linguistics studies! I’m currently in the process of learning a third language! I do believe that culture is an important aspect of learning a language. It’s how we communicate in the world and how were able to express ourselves. Please talk more about this I love it💕

Japan, America, UK, BBC, Bidets and Anime the podcast, I really enjoy all the topics, thanks for your energy!

Garnt's rant about how a real spirit bomb situation would go down is the funniest shit ever to come out of his mouth

Connor: Interior Design = Rubik's cube Garnt: Interior Design = Min/Max practicality Joey: Interior Desing = Inverted powerwash simulator

I'm jealous. I'm part Thai too and the language is so hard to learn. I give you props, Garnt. My Mother didn't want to teach me cause I refused to learn at a young age, I would have given her consent to force me to learn if I realized that sooner-before it was too late :'D I get that it is never too late to learn, but my brain can only hold so much D':

I’m personally also really interested in linguistics and different countries and cultures so love it when you guys talk about such topics on the podcast with your own different cultural backgrounds and language experiences it makes it so interesting.

I disagree with their 86 opinion. I actually love the show. But it's ok, I can understand their point.

1:51:57 Joey’s comparison with that Japanese term instantly reminded me of the use of the term in Mob psycho (which was translated as “Get a clue”). His explanation of it and how important it is to Japanese culture and how not being to do that is social death really makes ep 3 and Mob’s character hit deeper now.

Except for Connor's take on 86, he's idea of presenting anime a month is pretty good.

86 has been a fantastic show with themes way deeper than " racism is bad". I don't think I have had seen any show execute on two perspectives like 86 has. Yeah, some of the military jargon is lost on me but it is a small blemish on my enjoyment. Also from what i heard, it is an extremely faithful adaptation of the LN. Gotta absolutely disagree with Connor on that take.

I really like the talk about learning languages, it is genuinely hard to learn another language, especially when you are not living somewhere forcing you to speak and read it constantly. English is my second language and I have never been to an all-english country, but my time getting engrossed in games, books, movies and the internet in general has pushed me into being really good, almost proficient in the language. If the whole media I have consumed would've been in chinese, then maybe I would have been fluent in chinese now. I think that a huge, incredibly giant step forward is starting to think in that language, instead of saying "I'm thinking of the word "apple" from english", start thinking about the words for "round, red, sweet, grown in trees" in japanese, you will get to a point of remembering the object and how it looks like. I think Chris Broad had a video about learning faster and he explained that instead of saying the english word and expecting someone else to know what you are talking about, you are better off describing it and the other person will realise fast enough for the conversation to continue, and I didn't put the dot's together that I have been basically doing the same with english for a long time. Either way, good luck in further learning 🤗

"everyone was an ex anime fan, but now everyone watches anything but anime" I'm in this picture and I don't like it Edit: I watched season 2 of the slime Isekai out of spite.

The idea of Dwayne The Rock Johnson in an “adult” film made me laugh lmao. The rock shows his step sister his rock-hard rock.

Honestly the anime-book club idea sounds amazing, I always enjoy it when you guys talk about anime. When you guys talked about Baki, I stopped what I was doing and just sat down to enjoy the discussion.

Totaly agree with Joey, Dune was wonderful and left me speechless!

As someone who speaks 5 languages, i am glad hearing Garnt talking about language learning and such.

that last segment was really well said boys, glad to hear you all have a good head on your shoulders

Just finished binge watching all of the episodes and finally caught up. ….am I supposed to be proud of this moment?

I just want to let y’all know I’ve watched this podcast almost every weekday since it came out. Never stop making episodes!

I’m curious what’s the bois’ opinions on “The Animatrix” series which expands on the Lore about the matrix, it’s programming and errors, and even the people in it.

The section of this episode regarding learning a new language and the gym hits so hard. It's such a struggle to maintain that daily consistency especially when you're trying to build up a career or exploring a new hobby. Best of luck to Conner and the guys to do their best everyday!

First time listening since the bike episode. Really good conversations I’m glad I hopped back in on this one

Garnt just proved his theory on the "Life Cycle of a Weeb" lol

I want the anime review once a month it sounds interesting as long as it's not the most popular anime, maybe like a hidden gem or a seasonal anime that just wasn't well known.

When they talked about staying up late and going home from a night's out, I remembered the time I first went to drink with my work mates. We parties until 7am, and I live 30km from where we had the drink. I never despised the sun that much in my entire life.

1:49:56 I won't claim to know the deeper meanings behind the original Thai words but to me it sounds like you could describe that as "pouring your heart out".

American here who doesnt care for soccer, and yes even I know who Ronaldo and Messi are. I live under a rock pretty much and I still know them, so I'd imagine most Americans would as well. Their names are pretty much synonymous with soccer (football).

Connor shitting on 86, but watching High Rise Invasion and saying "it was okay... i enjoyed it" 😂😂😂

Thanks for putting subtitles about talking about subtitles!!!

Also, for that "water flowing from the heart" word, my translation into an english phrase or word, would be "altruism". I don't know any Thai, but that's what it sounds like to me. "Altruism" is best described in science terms, but maybe that's what you're looking for.

I'm part of that minority who loves the anime and manga episodes. It would be great if they could do at least one podcast per anime season, but it would take Joey and Connor to actually watch something.

1:47:33 it’s been studied that when you learn multiple languages, including second language you may develop different personality traits between the different languages, it’s a really interesting concept, especially surrounding the subconscious influences of culture,

I'm from Spain and last year, I graduated on modern languages with one of my mentions on linguistics, -actually, I spent my year abroad in Swansea University (Connor's uni). Honestly, the part where you spoke about languages was very interesting. The fact that you three are bilingual makes the conversation so rich, and many aspects that you guys brought up are very discussed topics of the linguistics field that, of course you're experiencing yourselves by learning a new language that's not your L1 (first language). Anyways, as always a pleasure to listen to you guys.

Your background music has a part that sound like my phone's alarm, so every time the bgm reach that part I had to check my phone

As a cinephile hearing you guys talk about films was a wonderful treat, makes me miss my university days with me and my friend talking about our favorite films. Now we’re all graduated and moved away for jobs. Thanks again for bringing those good time back boys

16:55 This line about ranking is especially funny if you remember the really early episode where Joey's response to being asked at a con if someone could be his AX waifu was "I have ranks"

As they were talking about wall scrolls I literally looked at mine which is a dope as drawing of Goblin slayer with that bright red eye thing

i genuinely think listening to this podcast has made me a better person

Just wanted to drop a random comment here to thank the boys for consistently bringing quality content to us. Life is lifeing real hard right now and having this to look forward to every Saturday morning is a huge relief.

The people of DBZ did complain about giving energy to the spirit bomb. It wasn't until Mr Satan told them to that everyone did.

I haven't heard the family mart gospel, but the best tights I've ever bought in my life are from 7Eleven. Konbinis got those basics on lock.

9:00 I agree with that 100% I even once rewatched all of naruto after like 6 years because I kept watching clips from it on youtube

It's funny how Connor wants to have more anime on the podcast, when he was the person saying that he want less anime on the first episode

YES MORE ANIME PLEASE!!!! loved connors idea of each one watches an anime they are interested in and they talk about YESSSS

During the spirit bomb segment, I was just thinkin, “dam, go OFF then, Garnt!”. Legendary moment across all of trash taste XD

A monthly anime club would be fun! I like whatever you guys talk about but you have so much knowledge about anime that it's fun to learn from you guys and hear your opinions.

"Movies aren't sold based on their actors anymore" Meanwhile, here in Malaysia, every movies or TV series would cast anyone with 1 million or more followers on Instagram, be it an actor or "Instagram influencer" for acting role.

congratulations everyone, you've made it

Honestly one the best episodes from the bois

I love connor knowing what studios are making what animated movies, respect ✋

Connor: "we can get a bigger place in america for the price we are paying this studio" *laughs in $3000/mo for a 500sqft apartment*

Trash taste living up to it's name with Connor's take on 86, straight up carrying the brand name

This was a really fun episode.

I'd argue that Ryan Reynolds has reached that point as well, where he, same as Adam Sandler, can just play himself in every movie and it ALWAYS is entertaining to watch. Of course, he had some blunders earlier in his career (cough Green Lantern, his appearance in Wolverine cough cough), but nowadays (and I feel, Free Guy and Red Notice are perfect examples of it), he can just play himself in every environment and role and it just works. EDIT: Also, regarding what the boys said towards the end, it IS true, that it is important to listen to the other side and know, what their thoughts and feelings are and what they stand for. Doesn't mean, you have to agree with them though, as they said. But sadly, that's also seemingly becoming more and more of a problem in today's day and age: People are quick to assume, that, just cause you don't agree with them or don't support their beliefs, you're attacking them in some way or think less of them or something. They seem to forget, that it's also possible, to disagree and still respect, heck, even like each other. For them, a denial of just one of their beliefs oftentimes constitues a denial of everything they are as a person and THAT's something, people ought to work on as well, in my opinion.
