Oh, so you mean he's delusional for applying game logic to real life. For all we knew, that guy trying to get his attention was having a heart attack, but since Connor knew he didn't initiate the encounter, fuck that guy; not his problem anymore, innit?
Other way around my guy 😂.

It's always funny hearing non-Americans talk about America because half the time I'm like "Yeah, that's pretty true," and the other half I'm like "Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?"
It’s very Connor that Connor was like “if they say hello again I’ll know it was me and turn around” and then they did exactly that and his response was “well now I’m too far away I’m not turning around”
Connor is an arrogant douchebag in some situations. He feels way too strongly for things that don't warrant attention or thought and tries to retroactively explain his emotional behaviour away through "logic".
Seeing the youngest among the boys angrily complaining about Japan’s parks and childcare issues and environments in Japan is kinda refreshing. Connor locked in
100%! that's a typical urban behaviour. All the times I've answered to a "hello", the follow up question was the dude asking for money. Unless i were to live in a village, no way I'd bother replying to a random hello!
If someone I don't recognize is yelling hello from 25m away at their doorway I'm assuming they aren't talking to me unless they yell "EXCUSE me!" or "Can someone help me!" the second time.
Actually, a big problem these days is that there are no good places to take kids for them to socialize and hang out with their peers. Parks, malls, and restaurants are not welcoming to children who aren't zoned out on an iPhone.
When I was in America, I could not get over the fact that "how are you doing today?" is a greeting that does not expect any actual reply besides fine., and the person is not interested at all in how your day is actually going.
In NZ it’s very commonplace (maybe not in bigger cities) to say hello to every single person you walk past. In the country it’s not uncommon to wave to every car you drive past. Waving to the stop/ go man is mandatory.
@@leastselfawarepotassium In Christchurch, my experience is that it's a bit mixed with a bunch of situational stuff being relevant. People might ignore you entirely or straight up start an actual conversation or anything in between depending on a bunch of stuff.
Connor not saying hello to that one man, I felt like was a bit rude but not that crazy but finding out he had a chat with the old man's wife but didn't bother to say hello to him too, is kinda crazy actually 💀
No fr, idk how so many comments have completely just tuned that part out as if it doesn't make him look like a complete dickwad in that entire situation 😭
that is actually suspicious as fuck, the wife probably had to explain to her husband who he was because Connor just decided to be a sociopath seconds after having a normal convo with that woman
Old man: "Hello" Connor: *Turns around* Old man: "I have connections in the television industry and I think you would work well on TV. Please take my business card."
As a new yorker, I'm never answering the hello unless I'm in someone's way and they're using it as a warning like "I'm here, move". Then I look back/around to gauge where they're at. Otherwise you attract the weirdos. Someone I don't know saying hello is automatically not my business.
Wasn't Connor in a neighborhood walking to Ludwig's house? I think that scenario is very different from being on the street and someone from an apartment complex shouts at you.
My issue with tipping culture is that the server is relying on those tips to be paid, putting the responsibility of them having enough money on you, when really the wage should not be paid through tips but the employer, other countries showed that its possible, if I pay for a meal and I feel the service is good I’ll tip them, but if I don’t they’ll still be paid anyways that’s how it should be
legally if they dont make the min thru tips... employer is to make up the difference by law. so really, there is no reason the customer needs to tip at all.
Gemini: The history of tipping in the United States is complex and controversial, with origins in medieval Europe and a legacy of slavery and racial oppression: Origins Tipping originated in medieval Europe as a way for the wealthy to reward people in lower classes for their services. Imported to the U.S. Wealthy Americans began tipping in the U.S. in the 1850s and 1860s after seeing the practice while traveling abroad. Civil War After the Civil War, employers hired formerly enslaved people and immigrants for low-paying jobs, and encouraged patrons to tip as a supplement to wages. Pullman Palace Car Company The Pullman Company openly admitted to paying sub-living wages to their porters because they received tips. Tipping laws Six American states passed laws that made tipping illegal, with the earliest law passed in 1909 and the last repealed in 1926. Tipped minimum wage The federal tipped subminimum wage has remained at $2.13 per hour since 1991.
Ok but not tipping isn't going to help anyone and realistically, the prices would be higher bc of that. Also, if you don't have a lot of income, you shouldn't be going somewhere expensive to eat, and if you do have the money to, you should tip
man who rates his viewers rooms: ''Actually only thing you need in a room is a pc'' Just for that I hope the next batch of viewer rooms for connor will be extra heavy with funko pops
Honestly this is probably even worse, if it’s in a dark sketchy area you definitely should turn around, maybe not to say hi but just to see what’s happening
@ChunkyKong-47 Yeah, but don't make it obvious where I live when you hear someone calling you out loud. You just know it's trouble I don't know. That's just what my family taught me when I was younger. Maybe different for you.
@@ChunkyKong-47 No. If anyone in the hood calls out to you, it means they don't want you there. If you answer, respond, do anything aside from get the hell away, they will mug you. They know their hood and who belongs.
@@stevenmtaylor21 spoken like someone who never been to “the hood” or met anyone from there either. Real life isn’t a movie, It’s not some violent lawless place like you imagine, you’re not going to get attacked for no reason just because you happen to be there. Believe it or not most people in those areas just want to live peacefully and mind there business just like you. My point is that if you’re in an area you know to be sketchy or dangerous and someone calls out to you and you just do what Connor does and not even turn your head to see what’s happening you’re putting your safety at risk and making yourself a bigger target if someone does want to do something. They might want to rob you, they might just want to say hi, but to not even check your surroundings isn’t safe or smart. But I guess your plan is to just drop everything and start sprinting if anyone speaks to you at all instead of actually taking account of your surroundings and responding accordingly
@ChunkyKong-47 nah , i agreed with you on checking but not making it obvious. I just walked from home to school and back and sometimes had tutorials or club activities and came out late. I never said I lived in a very dangerous place just southeast houston, which is not that bad compared to others. I don't know why you're frustrated. You can just hear in their tone a voice of how they speak is not hard to understand. And really say hi at night at a sketchy area. And I agree most people are nice over here unless their drunk or on drugs, lol.
The second they're louder and angrier, especially at that distance, I'm treating them like a catcaller and ignoring them for sure. I was listening to an audiobook walking in a parking lot because I was early for an appointment, and a guy tried to start talking to me from about twenty feet away, so I just held the phone up to my ear, pointed at it, turned around, and started walking in the other direction while saying "Yeah, sorry, I couldn't hear you."
Same but for a different reason since I'm a dude. I mean, even if your not worried about crime, if you live in a city, nobody ever stops you unless they want money, to sell you drugs, or for misc awkward reason. I will look if someone is calling out more than once depending on where i am though. (For example in a bus terminal) But otherwise nah. Also kind of agree with the Connors "avoid annoying conversation" reasoning too 😅
@@thedancingphantoms4004 most americans agree that tipping culture is out of control but unfortunately the rich employers run the country so nothing has changed
@@ItzMunix0916 It's more that the tipped employee's would rather gamble on the chances of making "big" money by being tipped than work for a reasonable wage. There's a pretty good case study in the story around Casa Bonita which is a restaurant in a nearby town. The servers were switch to $30 an hour when tips weren't "good enough" and most fought back trying to get the management to bring back tipped wages.
@@balance00wow employees don't have a say in whether the business they work for accepts tips or pays a fair wage. they just have to deal with whatever decision their boss makes.
@@ItzMunix0916bruh wait staff LOVE TIPS. They will NEVER want to get rid of them because they make a ridiculous amount of money through the tips (way more than if the restaurant just paid them a decent wage). Plus if they don't get enough tips, the restaurant must pay them to minimum wage.
I would have turned around if it were me. But I 100% agree with Connor that its perfectly normal to not do so. I dont think he was doing all these calculations in his head, but more subconsciously making the decision to keep going. It sounds like a "probably not talking to me" and then he committed. I feel that it just sounds crazy when you have yo explain it like an entire thought process. I know they play it up for the show, but "psychotic" is blowing it way out of the water 😂
Yeah, this is what we can city-ot behavior. I think Connor has lived in densely populated areas for probably the majority of his life. In a more spread out area, calling out to someone that far away isn't rude in the slightest, it's just getting their attention.
Honestly rising cost of ordering food especially things like Starbucks, has made it so that I cleaned up my diet significantly cause it was so much cheaper to just buy the whole ingredients and make shit myself. It really does add up over time. American born and raised, there are obvious things I have real issues with in my country, but it’s kind of a, yeah it’s a shit hole, but it’s MY shit hole.
I stayed for a few months in America this year. In Illinois. And the fact that I can drink water from the tap and there is a bus system that makes stops every 15 minutes in both directions on nearly every street is just amazing to me. The fact that gay people can be married and trans people aren't thrown off buildings is something that Americans should be proud of.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Yeah great points. I'm american and sometimes I take it for granted, but when I travel to countries where women have no rights, lgbt has zero rights and there's no freedom of speech, no job opportunities - I realize while America is definitely fk'd up, we have it very very easy there. that said, I still moved away from the US.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Feels like the developed world needs to remember stuff like that. America still has its problems, but it's way better than it could be!
@@bluelfsuma the problem with that though is that when most people hear that they just assume its good enough, even though the developed world is slowly getting worse for the working class in all countries. You should never stop working towards a better future
As an American who grew up in the heyday of McDonald's play places and old aesthetics, you should check out a documentary called "Mac and Me." Not only does it have an entire dance number which takes place at a McDonald's, but a living being is saved by the power of Coca-Cola. It's very inspiring.
the point of connor’s tangent is the principle. it’s like waving back to someone who’s waving to the person behind you, you just save a lot of embarrassment if you dont acknowledge it, unless you know it’s for you specifically. at least i’m sure he was trying to say that but just couldn’t put it into words
Went to the Dreaded Ohio, Got a STACK of 60's and 70's Playboys at an Antique shop. What awesome journalism. A piece about the Population issue of the world back then when it was 3.5 bil. Nuts
A rule I learned in America from my American buds is if it’s on a tablet you don’t got to tip just say 0 and call it a day but if it’s a dinner or restaurant and they give you a physical bill then that’s usually when you tip, also tip food delivery people.
Yep, the whole tipping for carry out or when ordering at a counter on a tablet is a new thing within the last few years. If I’m not getting table service or delivery I hit zero every time
It's what I grew up calling them. My parents are Garnt's dad's age, so it tracks. I probably wouldn't use that term on the remote chance I happened upon a newspaper and offered that section to someone now, though.
I'm with Connor and at a certain distance I automatically assume no matter what I hear it's not for me... Unless they follow me and keep saying it, then I would. There are exceptions like if I'm around a friends house I might just to confirm it's not my friend. I've straight up ignored people right in front of me, wanting my attention though... so it's not just about distance, sometimes it's the people or my mood. Don't feel like talking to anyone and I won't respond to anything. But at a certain distance I just assume it's not about or for me.
I actually have experience for 01:36:56: my phone was stolen in Kabukicho. I was there for a concert with a bunch of other foreigners there specifically for the show. I got help navigating to my embassy, but after that I pretty much had to navigate Tokyo with no phone for about a week and a half. I looked over the map and where to go probably dozens of times before heading to Haneda Airport.
Eating in doesn't mean giving a tip. There are a lot of places now that are asking for tips that don't deserve it. The biggest deciding factor for tipping for me is if I am actively getting served food. If I have to walk up and get it then I don't tip. Tips are for good service, no service, no tip.
Except good service is part of their job, The kickback for bad service isn't no tips, it's getting fired. Just picked an arbitrary task off of their job description decided it was worth personally paying them.
1:33:16 like some of us, we don't really know what our dad really was when he was young or in person outside the pov of being a dad. So, when my dad passed away i did a small project, to asked people that came to his funeral, to fill in a piece a piece of paper on what their thoughts about my dad, what were the most memorable memories of them with him. And it surprises me on the answers that I got 😊 up until now, I still keep those papers with me
47:01 It would bother me if someone is trying to get my attention by saying "hello...?" and then again in a slightly more aggressive tone. But I'd still turn around just lol you never know what it could be
Connor is right about the too far conversation thing. I understand where garnt and joey are coming from but like, if im that far away already, I really don't think its rude to ignore it. If the person who wants to talk to you really wants to talk to you, they'll walk towards you or at least say something like "hold up, I wanna talk" and not just say "hello" angrily twice
41:37 Here to say, I also would not have turned around. Especially if that second "hello" was in an angry tone, at this point I'd think "Hell no, I'm not turning around for this guy"
Nah i'm with connor here, if you ACTUALLY wanted to talk to me- bridge that 80ft gap between us. Don't yell at me from Africa expecting me to yell back and forth for small talk
my only perspective with this "appropriate range of conversation" discussion is that connor can't even say it was about initiating a conversation because he didn't turn around in the first place to find out. maybe it was just the way he described the situation that didn't paint the best picture of what had happened, but for all he knows he could have been walking into wet cement, or maybe the man needed someone else to help him with something. i understand that he tackles this in a way by saying if it was really pressing, the caller could have changed the vocabulary instead of just saying "hello," but it's definitely not as if there's no other conceivable reason the man was calling out other than trying to talk, which is what he definitely made it out to seem
Connor is right. You don't have to talk to someone you don't want to just to be "polite". And according to my neighbor kids, it depends on if you have anyone to play with. But a ball and another person is all they need.
The polite thing to do would be to not fucking engage in a conversation with a stranger. Respect people's time and their own space. I guess thats different depending on the culture
People are insensitive when being ignored. Saying hello doesn't mean the random person would respond back. How about don't bother innocent bystanders minding their own shXt.
Yeah I'm with Connor on this one. If I don't want to talk to someone, I'm just straight up not talking to them. I don't owe anyone my time. Especially not a stranger. Keep it moving, Rummie.
@@taxelsquest6824 Yeah like. Example: . Someone was shouting at you, "Hello!" at a 25 meter distance. Exactly that. Because they want to warn you about something. but since it's out of Connor's range. he died cuz the area he was walking into was a restricted zone where you got shot.
Nah, I agree with connor on the range part. From his story it felt like the person was being very disrespectful and I have been through situations like that as well. It's like they are calling a dog.
When someone says “hello” you aren’t limited to “engage in a conversation “ or “completely ignore them”. My go to’s as a not very chatty person are to turn, smile, & wave silently, politely say hello back with a nod, or even gesture towards my ears and say I’m on the phone. Sometimes afterwards I have to add a quick, “sorry, I have to get home” or something like that to indicate I don’t have time or interest in a chat. But flat out ignoring someone?? wtf?
@@leastselfawarepotassium most people would assume he was ignoring them. Sure, maybe they could think he didn’t hear them, but it’s unlikely when they’re the only two people on the street and he’s responsive to other noises around him.
They're saying it's about 20m away and he can only hear the voice? A "hello" literally could be for anyone. I don't think I'd react unless I could hear the call out closing in on me
My go-to is usually just saying 'hi' and keeping on walking, if I was already going somewhere, or a kind of half wave, where the other person can see that I'm acknowleding them but also that I'm not actually moving to engage further.
Connor and Mouse basically did this for like thirty minutes (it was a staring contest). I think he put the whole thing on his clips channel, and it only ended because Mouse started coughing, and he broke to ask her if she was alright (and then they argued over who won). It was one of the first things I watched them do live, so probably around Mouse's first subathon.
Just to clarify something about tipping laws. In some areas, the employer is supposed to cover up to the standard minimum wage if the employee doesn't receive enough tips. If you are a tipped employee please look into your local employment laws and see if you are owed. Some restaurants have tried going no tipping, but had to go back to tipping because they had the entire wait staff quit. Most known it happened for was momofuku ko. There are a few places trying but my guess it won't end well. Because the places trying are in big cities. And the staff will just go to where it makes them more money. It makes more sense for smaller towns where the customer traffic isn't consistent. But that's just my 2 cents. Also there are places that pay standard minimum wage or more and have tipping for their employees. Which should be the go to. Not having separate levels of minimum wage.
So back in the 90s as a kid it was amazing seeing Ronald McDonald at a McDonald's. We did go to them for that. It also wasn't "cheap". I feel it didn't get cheap until the dollar menu idea popped up. It' was a diff vibe back then
In Connor's defense, if an American is going to try to get your attention with an angry "hello" from 25 meters away, chances are it's not a conversation worth your time. A conversation started from that distance should be relatively urgent, and if it's in good faith should be accompanied with an "excuse me, sir/mister!" Sounds like he just dodged a male Karen.
20:00 They guys should really watch S3E08 of Regular show, Cool Bikes. It's literally about this. Basically, no matter how ridiculous is all about confidence and how you present yourself. And even the cringiest outfits will be cool in the eyes of the observer.
This episode felt so chill like talking about anything that came up, tangents etc Felt like the Trash Taste I enjoyed watching in the first place. I like topical episodes too but I liked this quite a lot since it felt like Og trash taste.
Nah screw tipping, FIGHT AGAINST TIPPING! Demand people be paid better by the employers. Some prices might go up, but not nearly as much as people reee about. Does Garnt know what "rawdog" means?
@silverfox733 as a customer, I'm broke too, so I'm not going to pay more than I'm supposed to. Tipping is a gratuitous option, not mandatory; only tip if you can afford to, are feeling generous, or if you believe the workers went above and beyond what they normally do to serve you
How are you fighting against tipping other then screwing over your server. Are you a lobbyist fighting to raise the nationwide minimum wage, otherwise you're just telling people not to tip and complaining.
@@yourstruly5738 People keep missing the fact that the "poor servers" end up making a lot more money than they otherwise would because of tips. Consumer protections are important guys. The employer pays them less. The server makes more than they should. The customer pays the difference.
My mom has always been skitso about the world ending all my life(she even told me many times the reason I can’t have a pet of my own is because of the world ending or if we need to be on the run or if it was t0rtured to get to me), and after 21 years of that I’ve gotten to the point that I get physically sick of hearing about doomsday stuff. And she listens to it all day every day. I can’t stand it and I’m like “I’m just gonna live my life. I’m tired of living in an isolated village and wasting my life.” That’s why I’m building a skoolie to live as a nomad like I’ve always wanted
Connor not turning around when someone yelled at him, is absolutely wild. His points on why he didn't made no sense either lol. Havent seen bith Garnt and Joey so confused in a long time
What I learned it's better to give the person some sort of reaction for your safety! I am sure that neighbor was just friendly especially if it's a nice area. But if you are in a ghetto area, I learned my lesson, most of the time people will just say something when they feel rejected but after I ignored a middle school kid, he threw a rock (luckily landed on my heel so I was more surprised than hurt). Depending on where you live people just want to feel safe and greetings are a way to break the ice.
As ludicrous as his reasoning for the turning around bit, I agree lmfao I wouldn't turn around either 😂 that and crippling social anxiety does not help my case LMAO 💀 (this is why I wear big ass headphones lol)
Connor is so right. 25m is WAY too far to be trying to say hello. if someone needs your attention from that far away, they'll say "excuse me" or "yes, you there". getting annoyed that someone, a swimming pool away, didn't respond to your "hello" is entitled behavior. maybe some of this is from experience being catcalled, as someone who presents femme, either way, the other person shouldn't expect a response, they should work to get it
The whole argument of Connor's dilemma is him asking would we turn around for the second hello. Then not specifying in the question that his intentions is to not have a conversation that far away
Ok 😂 I slept with this episode on play I dreamt joey, grant and Connor were my classmates and we are all listening Conor shit takes and laughing our asses off . 😂😂😂
just watched Joey's I'm 30 video,feel sad for the guy and happy too,oh joey,never change,just tame your takes a lil,they are far too wild for the average human
22:08 cool is when a particular style is over saturated in society; then someone has the courage to try something new and an increasing number of people start to dig it. The increasing number of people is the important point. It can increase the cool score exponentially 👍🏼
Connor, I agree with you! I wouldn't turn around. I've had many encounters when I thought someone was talking to me but they weren't, and since then I don't turn around.
Pretty sure Garnt didn't understand the newspaper article. The funnies i'd be willing to bet, was referring to the comic strip section of a newspaper. The funnies or the Sunday Funnies, the particular day they are printed had mainstream appeal. Peanuts and Garfield among the most popular. Calvin and Hobbes which ran up until 1995. In no way was this related to what is called meme culture. So not at all as he said the more things change the more the stay the same. it was completely unrelated. The Funnies has no other meaning or context.
as for the 25m problem, for me it depends on the context if there's a lot of people around and someone calls out to me from super far, I won't turn around but if there's no one around: (1) if the place has bad vibes I won't turn around and just go straight outta there; (2) if the vibe is good, I'm down to talk basically, distance and eye contact is how i gauge whether someone is trying to talk to me or not
Garnt: "Today we give you....NOTHING."
Me: "Oh we eating good today 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼"

Actually, a big problem these days is that there are no good places to take kids for them to socialize and hang out with their peers. Parks, malls, and restaurants are not welcoming to children who aren't zoned out on an iPhone.
Saying hello to neighbors and absolutely nothing else is very normal in America. Just turn, wave, say hello and don’t stop walking.
When I was in America, I could not get over the fact that "how are you doing today?" is a greeting that does not expect any actual reply besides fine., and the person is not interested at all in how your day is actually going.

As a new yorker, I'm never answering the hello unless I'm in someone's way and they're using it as a warning like "I'm here, move". Then I look back/around to gauge where they're at. Otherwise you attract the weirdos. Someone I don't know saying hello is automatically not my business.
Exactly this! If you don't want to talk that's perfectly fine
Wasn't Connor in a neighborhood walking to Ludwig's house? I think that scenario is very different from being on the street and someone from an apartment complex shouts at you.
@@hopscotch5872 no

Oh my God I forgot they do that, I haven't seen one until now
Good eye!
lmao how did you catch that
I imagine Connor losing his child behind him trying to get his attention and the excuse is "they were just too far away".
Not responding to someone when you're too far away is the same as not holding the door for someone who's still too far away. Makes perfect sense to me
My issue with tipping culture is that the server is relying on those tips to be paid, putting the responsibility of them having enough money on you, when really the wage should not be paid through tips but the employer, other countries showed that its possible, if I pay for a meal and I feel the service is good I’ll tip them, but if I don’t they’ll still be paid anyways that’s how it should be
legally if they dont make the min thru tips... employer is to make up the difference by law. so really, there is no reason the customer needs to tip at all.
Eh I get it but as a server getting tips is pretty nice and makes it where you can make a lot more money than any mid level restaurant would pay out.
Fact: Murican tipping system started because of the employers don’t want to pay those just freed slaves back in 19th century
Gemini: The history of tipping in the United States is complex and controversial, with origins in medieval Europe and a legacy of slavery and racial oppression:
Origins
Tipping originated in medieval Europe as a way for the wealthy to reward people in lower classes for their services.
Imported to the U.S.
Wealthy Americans began tipping in the U.S. in the 1850s and 1860s after seeing the practice while traveling abroad.
Civil War
After the Civil War, employers hired formerly enslaved people and immigrants for low-paying jobs, and encouraged patrons to tip as a supplement to wages.
Pullman Palace Car Company
The Pullman Company openly admitted to paying sub-living wages to their porters because they received tips.
Tipping laws
Six American states passed laws that made tipping illegal, with the earliest law passed in 1909 and the last repealed in 1926.
Tipped minimum wage
The federal tipped subminimum wage has remained at $2.13 per hour since 1991.
Ok but not tipping isn't going to help anyone and realistically, the prices would be higher bc of that. Also, if you don't have a lot of income, you shouldn't be going somewhere expensive to eat, and if you do have the money to, you should tip

Just for that I hope the next batch of viewer rooms for connor will be extra heavy with funko pops
The world needs a pc (personal computer) funko pop.
56:22 The only way I agree with connor is if it is dark in a sketchy area other than that, then just check.
Honestly this is probably even worse, if it’s in a dark sketchy area you definitely should turn around, maybe not to say hi but just to see what’s happening
@ChunkyKong-47 Yeah, but don't make it obvious where I live when you hear someone calling you out loud. You just know it's trouble I don't know. That's just what my family taught me when I was younger. Maybe different for you.
@@ChunkyKong-47 No. If anyone in the hood calls out to you, it means they don't want you there. If you answer, respond, do anything aside from get the hell away, they will mug you. They know their hood and who belongs.
@@stevenmtaylor21 spoken like someone who never been to “the hood” or met anyone from there either. Real life isn’t a movie, It’s not some violent lawless place like you imagine, you’re not going to get attacked for no reason just because you happen to be there. Believe it or not most people in those areas just want to live peacefully and mind there business just like you.
My point is that if you’re in an area you know to be sketchy or dangerous and someone calls out to you and you just do what Connor does and not even turn your head to see what’s happening you’re putting your safety at risk and making yourself a bigger target if someone does want to do something. They might want to rob you, they might just want to say hi, but to not even check your surroundings isn’t safe or smart. But I guess your plan is to just drop everything and start sprinting if anyone speaks to you at all instead of actually taking account of your surroundings and responding accordingly
@ChunkyKong-47 nah , i agreed with you on checking but not making it obvious. I just walked from home to school and back and sometimes had tutorials or club activities and came out late. I never said I lived in a very dangerous place just southeast houston, which is not that bad compared to others. I don't know why you're frustrated. You can just hear in their tone a voice of how they speak is not hard to understand. And really say hi at night at a sketchy area. And I agree most people are nice over here unless their drunk or on drugs, lol.
As a woman, not turning around for a hello unless I know their voice, I might glance to see what's going on
The second they're louder and angrier, especially at that distance, I'm treating them like a catcaller and ignoring them for sure.
I was listening to an audiobook walking in a parking lot because I was early for an appointment, and a guy tried to start talking to me from about twenty feet away, so I just held the phone up to my ear, pointed at it, turned around, and started walking in the other direction while saying "Yeah, sorry, I couldn't hear you."
Same. As a man, im not turning around unless its a voice I recognize or they call me by my name. I don't normally have time to talk with strangers
Same but for a different reason since I'm a dude. I mean, even if your not worried about crime, if you live in a city, nobody ever stops you unless they want money, to sell you drugs, or for misc awkward reason. I will look if someone is calling out more than once depending on where i am though. (For example in a bus terminal) But otherwise nah.
Also kind of agree with the Connors "avoid annoying conversation" reasoning too 😅
as a slice of bread, i agree
Another out of context contender of the year: “shiiit maybe cancer is cool” - Garnt 2024 1:21:08
I'm American and don't agree with the tipping culture. Pay your workers, smh
@@thedancingphantoms4004 most americans agree that tipping culture is out of control but unfortunately the rich employers run the country so nothing has changed
@@ItzMunix0916 It's more that the tipped employee's would rather gamble on the chances of making "big" money by being tipped than work for a reasonable wage. There's a pretty good case study in the story around Casa Bonita which is a restaurant in a nearby town. The servers were switch to $30 an hour when tips weren't "good enough" and most fought back trying to get the management to bring back tipped wages.
@@ItzMunix0916if we stopped tipping they'd be forced to pay
@@balance00wow employees don't have a say in whether the business they work for accepts tips or pays a fair wage. they just have to deal with whatever decision their boss makes.
@@ItzMunix0916bruh wait staff LOVE TIPS. They will NEVER want to get rid of them because they make a ridiculous amount of money through the tips (way more than if the restaurant just paid them a decent wage). Plus if they don't get enough tips, the restaurant must pay them to minimum wage.
I would have turned around if it were me. But I 100% agree with Connor that its perfectly normal to not do so. I dont think he was doing all these calculations in his head, but more subconsciously making the decision to keep going. It sounds like a "probably not talking to me" and then he committed. I feel that it just sounds crazy when you have yo explain it like an entire thought process. I know they play it up for the show, but "psychotic" is blowing it way out of the water 😂
55:44 this proves conor is a npc, out of dialogue range, no dialogue
Yeah, this is what we can city-ot behavior. I think Connor has lived in densely populated areas for probably the majority of his life. In a more spread out area, calling out to someone that far away isn't rude in the slightest, it's just getting their attention.
Honestly rising cost of ordering food especially things like Starbucks, has made it so that I cleaned up my diet significantly cause it was so much cheaper to just buy the whole ingredients and make shit myself. It really does add up over time.

I stayed for a few months in America this year. In Illinois. And the fact that I can drink water from the tap and there is a bus system that makes stops every 15 minutes in both directions on nearly every street is just amazing to me.

As an American who grew up in the heyday of McDonald's play places and old aesthetics, you should check out a documentary called "Mac and Me." Not only does it have an entire dance number which takes place at a McDonald's, but a living being is saved by the power of Coca-Cola. It's very inspiring.
"I simply don't drop things" --Connor
the point of connor’s tangent is the principle. it’s like waving back to someone who’s waving to the person behind you, you just save a lot of embarrassment if you dont acknowledge it, unless you know it’s for you specifically. at least i’m sure he was trying to say that but just couldn’t put it into words
Went to the Dreaded Ohio, Got a STACK of 60's and 70's Playboys at an Antique shop. What awesome journalism. A piece about the Population issue of the world back then when it was 3.5 bil. Nuts
A rule I learned in America from my American buds is if it’s on a tablet you don’t got to tip just say 0 and call it a day but if it’s a dinner or restaurant and they give you a physical bill then that’s usually when you tip, also tip food delivery people.
Also gotta look carefully at the bill, some of them actually come with the tips built in already and then give you the oppertunity to tip As Well.
Yep, the whole tipping for carry out or when ordering at a counter on a tablet is a new thing within the last few years. If I’m not getting table service or delivery I hit zero every time
1:23:16 no, bro. The funnies was what they called comic strips back in the day, I believe.
It's what I grew up calling them. My parents are Garnt's dad's age, so it tracks. I probably wouldn't use that term on the remote chance I happened upon a newspaper and offered that section to someone now, though.
you can make an argument that comic strips are the ancestors of memes
I'm with Connor and at a certain distance I automatically assume no matter what I hear it's not for me... Unless they follow me and keep saying it, then I would. There are exceptions like if I'm around a friends house I might just to confirm it's not my friend. I've straight up ignored people right in front of me, wanting my attention though... so it's not just about distance, sometimes it's the people or my mood. Don't feel like talking to anyone and I won't respond to anything. But at a certain distance I just assume it's not about or for me.
I actually have experience for 01:36:56: my phone was stolen in Kabukicho. I was there for a concert with a bunch of other foreigners there specifically for the show. I got help navigating to my embassy, but after that I pretty much had to navigate Tokyo with no phone for about a week and a half. I looked over the map and where to go probably dozens of times before heading to Haneda Airport.
hello is so foreign to you guys that you guys didn’t even consider the fact that he’s just saying hello and wanted a hello back 🤣🤣
Man, anyone else's remember when McDonald's had gamecubes with super monkey ball.
One I went to got sonic heroes. It was incredible
When Mario party or SSX tricky was on it 👏🏻 we used to have it so good
That and Luigi's Mansion. Good times...
The one near me that had consoles had 1 Gamecub and a bunch of N64s. Everyone lined up for it and I just enjoyed my funky controller time .
25:53 When Garnt tries to get his sentence out while he's still cooking he sometimes just says "sheesh" instead of "she's" and it's great
Eating in doesn't mean giving a tip. There are a lot of places now that are asking for tips that don't deserve it. The biggest deciding factor for tipping for me is if I am actively getting served food. If I have to walk up and get it then I don't tip. Tips are for good service, no service, no tip.
I've always heard that if they stay behind the counter, then there is no obligation to tip.
Except good service is part of their job, The kickback for bad service isn't no tips, it's getting fired. Just picked an arbitrary task off of their job description decided it was worth personally paying them.
1:33:16 like some of us, we don't really know what our dad really was when he was young or in person outside the pov of being a dad. So, when my dad passed away i did a small project, to asked people that came to his funeral, to fill in a piece a piece of paper on what their thoughts about my dad, what were the most memorable memories of them with him. And it surprises me on the answers that I got 😊 up until now, I still keep those papers with me
47:01 It would bother me if someone is trying to get my attention by saying "hello...?" and then again in a slightly more aggressive tone. But I'd still turn around just lol you never know what it could be
Heading to work to do a 12hr shift and I see the bois dropped a new episode, nice. Can always count on these 3 to keep me sane during a long shift.
That is 100% an introverted excuse thing, and as an introvert I’ve 100% used it before
Connor is right about the too far conversation thing. I understand where garnt and joey are coming from but like, if im that far away already, I really don't think its rude to ignore it. If the person who wants to talk to you really wants to talk to you, they'll walk towards you or at least say something like "hold up, I wanna talk" and not just say "hello" angrily twice
No he isnt fucking simp. He is literally umbearable nowadays.
41:37 Here to say, I also would not have turned around. Especially if that second "hello" was in an angry tone, at this point I'd think "Hell no, I'm not turning around for this guy"
Nah i'm with connor here, if you ACTUALLY wanted to talk to me- bridge that 80ft gap between us. Don't yell at me from Africa expecting me to yell back and forth for small talk
😂
@@johnsmith5504 I mean yeah, but looking over your shoulderand continuing to walk is not much better right. 25 meters is quite far away.
Worlds going to shit if people are agreeing with this take
my only perspective with this "appropriate range of conversation" discussion is that connor can't even say it was about initiating a conversation because he didn't turn around in the first place to find out. maybe it was just the way he described the situation that didn't paint the best picture of what had happened, but for all he knows he could have been walking into wet cement, or maybe the man needed someone else to help him with something. i understand that he tackles this in a way by saying if it was really pressing, the caller could have changed the vocabulary instead of just saying "hello," but it's definitely not as if there's no other conceivable reason the man was calling out other than trying to talk, which is what he definitely made it out to seem
46:50 connor saying hes confident in his decision but asking for validation from all his friends lol
I agree with Connor. Once you’re over a house away, there’s no reason to turn around unless you actively want to
my respond range to someone saying hello depends on my mood and sometimes i just cant be bothered
Micromorts? Get into construction and get Macromorts and many ways of getting cancer or Erectile Disfunction.
Connor is right. You don't have to talk to someone you don't want to just to be "polite".
And according to my neighbor kids, it depends on if you have anyone to play with. But a ball and another person is all they need.
The polite thing to do would be to not fucking engage in a conversation with a stranger. Respect people's time and their own space. I guess thats different depending on the culture
You can be polite and refuse at the same time. Saying no is more polite than ignoring or pretend to not hear.
People are insensitive when being ignored. Saying hello doesn't mean the random person would respond back.
How about don't bother innocent bystanders minding their own shXt.
Yeah I'm with Connor on this one. If I don't want to talk to someone, I'm just straight up not talking to them. I don't owe anyone my time. Especially not a stranger.
Keep it moving, Rummie.
@@taxelsquest6824 Yeah like.
Example:
. Someone was shouting at you, "Hello!" at a 25 meter distance. Exactly that. Because they want to warn you about something.
but since it's out of Connor's range. he died cuz the area he was walking into was a restricted zone where you got shot.
Nah, I agree with connor on the range part. From his story it felt like the person was being very disrespectful and I have been through situations like that as well. It's like they are calling a dog.
Over 20 meters away and someone calls i keep walking cuz there's no way that's for me 😅 i don't get why the rest of the boys can't get it
When someone says “hello” you aren’t limited to “engage in a conversation “ or “completely ignore them”. My go to’s as a not very chatty person are to turn, smile, & wave silently, politely say hello back with a nod, or even gesture towards my ears and say I’m on the phone. Sometimes afterwards I have to add a quick, “sorry, I have to get home” or something like that to indicate I don’t have time or interest in a chat. But flat out ignoring someone?? wtf?
Exactly just say hi. Ignoring some seems rude.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme only Connor knows that he was ignoring them.
@@leastselfawarepotassium most people would assume he was ignoring them. Sure, maybe they could think he didn’t hear them, but it’s unlikely when they’re the only two people on the street and he’s responsive to other noises around him.
They're saying it's about 20m away and he can only hear the voice? A "hello" literally could be for anyone. I don't think I'd react unless I could hear the call out closing in on me
My go-to is usually just saying 'hi' and keeping on walking, if I was already going somewhere, or a kind of half wave, where the other person can see that I'm acknowleding them but also that I'm not actually moving to engage further.
20 minute segment just because connor refused to say hello is insane even on trash taste level of yapping lmao
Easy solution to "Hello" dilemma. Turn, smile and wave. Done.
can you really make an episode where you just sit in silent for 2 hours and look into the cam, i would unironicly watch this
Connor and Mouse basically did this for like thirty minutes (it was a staring contest). I think he put the whole thing on his clips channel, and it only ended because Mouse started coughing, and he broke to ask her if she was alright (and then they argued over who won). It was one of the first things I watched them do live, so probably around Mouse's first subathon.
Or one where connor tries to stfu for one second with his out of touch shit. How can someone get more egotistical this fast. What a dumbass.
2 hours of them reading, playing on their phones and ignoring the camera then at the last second start the show and the tape ends. 😂
Wishing Josh the Manga Lad a Very Happy Birthday 👏👏
Just to clarify something about tipping laws. In some areas, the employer is supposed to cover up to the standard minimum wage if the employee doesn't receive enough tips. If you are a tipped employee please look into your local employment laws and see if you are owed.
Some restaurants have tried going no tipping, but had to go back to tipping because they had the entire wait staff quit. Most known it happened for was momofuku ko. There are a few places trying but my guess it won't end well. Because the places trying are in big cities. And the staff will just go to where it makes them more money. It makes more sense for smaller towns where the customer traffic isn't consistent. But that's just my 2 cents.
Also there are places that pay standard minimum wage or more and have tipping for their employees. Which should be the go to. Not having separate levels of minimum wage.
So back in the 90s as a kid it was amazing seeing Ronald McDonald at a McDonald's. We did go to them for that. It also wasn't "cheap". I feel it didn't get cheap until the dollar menu idea popped up. It' was a diff vibe back then
You gotta turn around and just wave. A “heeelllooo” is just an “acknowledge me” move
As an American I love videos like this lol
In Connor's defense, if an American is going to try to get your attention with an angry "hello" from 25 meters away, chances are it's not a conversation worth your time. A conversation started from that distance should be relatively urgent, and if it's in good faith should be accompanied with an "excuse me, sir/mister!"
Sounds like he just dodged a male Karen.
As a New Yorker, while I'll accept eye contact and a hand way at 20 meters away, I won't accept a "hello" if it's not within a 5-meter radius~~~
I genuinely cant listen to most podcasts I get bored pretty much instantly but trash taste is the only exception

This episode felt so chill like talking about anything that came up, tangents etc Felt like the Trash Taste I enjoyed watching in the first place. I like topical episodes too but I liked this quite a lot since it felt like Og trash taste.
Nah screw tipping, FIGHT AGAINST TIPPING! Demand people be paid better by the employers. Some prices might go up, but not nearly as much as people reee about.
Does Garnt know what "rawdog" means?
But he is right..Till sytem is fixed..Tip better..
@silverfox733 as a customer, I'm broke too, so I'm not going to pay more than I'm supposed to. Tipping is a gratuitous option, not mandatory; only tip if you can afford to, are feeling generous, or if you believe the workers went above and beyond what they normally do to serve you
How are you fighting against tipping other then screwing over your server. Are you a lobbyist fighting to raise the nationwide minimum wage, otherwise you're just telling people not to tip and complaining.
@@silverfox733 Won't get fixed as long as you partake in it cause those involved will be "well it's working, don't fix it" mentality.
@@yourstruly5738 People keep missing the fact that the "poor servers" end up making a lot more money than they otherwise would because of tips. Consumer protections are important guys.

I want to see Connor's parents' reaction to the whole "25 meter hello" convo.
*after reading the title:
"well this is gonn be fun"
Connor not turning around when someone yelled at him, is absolutely wild. His points on why he didn't made no sense either lol. Havent seen bith Garnt and Joey so confused in a long time
If I ever meet Connor, I'm going to shout "Connor" from 25m away.
What I learned it's better to give the person some sort of reaction for your safety! I am sure that neighbor was just friendly especially if it's a nice area. But if you are in a ghetto area, I learned my lesson, most of the time people will just say something when they feel rejected but after I ignored a middle school kid, he threw a rock (luckily landed on my heel so I was more surprised than hurt). Depending on where you live people just want to feel safe and greetings are a way to break the ice.
As ludicrous as his reasoning for the turning around bit, I agree lmfao I wouldn't turn around either 😂 that and crippling social anxiety does not help my case LMAO 💀 (this is why I wear big ass headphones lol)
This episode was fun, none of the planned topic stuff. Just the boys talking the talk
Connor is so right. 25m is WAY too far to be trying to say hello. if someone needs your attention from that far away, they'll say "excuse me" or "yes, you there". getting annoyed that someone, a swimming pool away, didn't respond to your "hello" is entitled behavior. maybe some of this is from experience being catcalled, as someone who presents femme, either way, the other person shouldn't expect a response, they should work to get it
The whole argument of Connor's dilemma is him asking would we turn around for the second hello. Then not specifying in the question that his intentions is to not have a conversation that far away
Ok 😂
I slept with this episode on play
I dreamt joey, grant and Connor were my classmates and we are all listening Conor shit takes and laughing our asses off .

The snippet of conversation at 46:47 is like the epitome of the podcast.
just watched Joey's I'm 30 video,feel sad for the guy and happy too,oh joey,never change,just tame your takes a lil,they are far too wild for the average human
I agree with Garnt. It normal communication etiquette. The distance didnt matter. Look back and see if he was calling to you if not move on.
I thought the thumbnail was a chainsaw man part 2 reference lol
Im sick on saturday night, thank you for the companionship

00:41:37 Turning around when someone says hello *BEST convo of all time*
17 minutes of Connor not being able to turn around and wave/acknowledge a "hello", what a riveting episode. 💀
not turning around is crazywork i can’t lie
I''m with Connor this time, I pay zero attention to strangers like bruh i don't know you don't talk to me
22:08 cool is when a particular style is over saturated in society; then someone has the courage to try something new and an increasing number of people start to dig it. The increasing number of people is the important point. It can increase the cool score exponentially 👍🏼
28:44 Did not know Joey had a tattoo lol
Connor, I agree with you! I wouldn't turn around. I've had many encounters when I thought someone was talking to me but they weren't, and since then I don't turn around.
Pretty sure Garnt didn't understand the newspaper article. The funnies i'd be willing to bet, was referring to the comic strip section of a newspaper. The funnies or the Sunday Funnies, the particular day they are printed had mainstream appeal. Peanuts and Garfield among the most popular. Calvin and Hobbes which ran up until 1995. In no way was this related to what is called meme culture. So not at all as he said the more things change the more the stay the same. it was completely unrelated. The Funnies has no other meaning or context.
I don't understand how he didn't know that was what term funnies meant.
In 1938 I don't think Peanuts & Garfield existed yet. Donal Duck, Super Man, Dick Tracy, Lil Orphan Anne were around I think.
as for the 25m problem, for me it depends on the context
if there's a lot of people around and someone calls out to me from super far, I won't turn around
but if there's no one around: (1) if the place has bad vibes I won't turn around and just go straight outta there; (2) if the vibe is good, I'm down to talk
basically, distance and eye contact is how i gauge whether someone is trying to talk to me or not
