Diogenes is one of my favourite philosophers of all time. He is the ancient troll. Not only did he throw the chicken into Platons lecture, he also did many other things. Like, how he wandered around the street with a lamp in his hands in broad daylight, and when people asked him what he was doing, he answered that he kept looking for an honest man. Or when he was chilling in his barrel (yes, he lived in a barrel) and wanted to fetch some water to drink with his cup, he saw a child drinking from his hands and was like *a child has beaten me in plainness of living* then he proceeds to yeet the cup and used his hands to drink water from the river. Or when Alexander the Great (mind you, this guy startet to fight in wars since his teenage years and was a general with 16, who led thousands of soldiers to war) visited him to fulfill a wish for him (you can look up why) he asked Diogenes if he wanted something and he said *yes, stand a little out of my light*. Alexander was struck by this and was impressed by his haughtiness who had nothing but scorn for him. They joked about Diogenes but Alexander said *But truly, if i were not Alexander, i wish i were Diogenes*. And many more 😊
What sets Diogenes apart, in my mind, is that he was at least creative and consistent in his trolling. Modern trolls don't use their brains, they just spout random nonsense to get a reaction.
23:57 As a Japan railfan, some stuff to clarify: There are WAY MORE than 2 train companies in Japan, even within the JR system (similar to National Rail), not to mention the private companies. What I think Connor is trying to say is that the Shinkansen (high speed rail) system is divided into two systems, separated at Tokyo station: the JR East/Hokkaido system to Northeastern Japan, Hokkaido and Hokuriku, and the JR Central/West/Kyushu system to Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima and Kyushu. They have separate toll gates and train sets, with different electric systems due to separate electric frequency between east and west Japan (50Hz vs 60Hz AC) 26:31 Hearing Connor hate the current Japanese sleeper trains (Sunrise Izumo/Seto) actually makes me kind of sad, since Japan used to have a pretty great selection of sleeper trains, including the 'Twilight Express' from Osaka to Sapporo and the 'Cassiopeia' from Ueno (Tokyo) to Sapporo, with steak dinner, nice beds and good service, along with the cheaper 'Blue Trains'. The vast majority have since been retired, and now the only way to experience high quality sleeper trains is to splurge for the tourist oriented 'cruise trains', such as the JR Kyushu 'Seven Stars in Kyushu', the JR East 'Shiki-Shima' or the JR West 'West Express Ginga Premier' and 'Twilight Express Mizukaze', all of which are bloody expensive and notoriously difficult to book. I do hope Japan does revive a more affordable yet good sleeper train service to more destinations, that is easy to book and satisfies more people, like how the Austrian OBB does with its Nightjet service in Europe. For more information in travelling in Japan, I recommend checking out the channels Kuga's Travel and Solo Solo Travel. Also do visit the Japanese railway museums in Omiya, Nagoya, Kyoto and Kitakyushu, they are excellent!
Sorry to inform you but a lot of Dutch do not even know world war 1 is a thing since it is not being taught in history classes since the Netherlands was not part of WW1
I’m glad someone said it. That was infuriating. I don’t think they could have missed the mark on 1917 harder if they tried. But I suppose this is called Trash Taste for a reason.
this one is all kinds of painful from thinking all those pixar shorts are movies to the ghibli stuff to 1917. christ this one hurts. especially 1917 because the year it takes place is in the TITLE of the movie. also connors comment on politics in movies is insane
57:46 This is wrong, there were NOT 23 movies released by Pixar since Coco, that was including short films and such, there were eight films released after Coco, they were: - The Incredibles 2 - Toy Story 4 - Onward - Soul - Luca - Turning Red - Lightyear - Elemental
Soul is fantastic and got hampered the most cause of COVID. I'm also a big fan of Luca and elemental, as well as thinking onwards and turning red are good additions (i know people who really like turning red, even though i wasn't big on it). But it is true that ever since toy story 3, Pixar has been more hampered and released some real stinkers, however they've also released some of their best with Coco, Soul and inside out. I've also heard great things about inside out 2, so Pixar do make great stuff it's just rarer now unfortunately and their standards have been lowered, especially with sequels being pumped out
The Japanese business script is so real. Last visit, I ended up with food poisoning and felt it coming on. The room at the hotel we transitioned to, had a check-in time of 3p. I asked the staff if the room was ready, around noon. They said, "Yes, it's already cleaned and prepared." I can feel my stomach turning, so I ask them if I can check in sooner due to not feeling well. The entire front of house staff just stared at me like I had pulled out a weapon. They panicked and kept trying to see if they could contact regional management for advice. Eventually I had to excuse myself and spent the rest of the afternoon in the lobby bathroom unable to leave or move until my room was ready. 🥴 The staff must have understood the severity once I came out hours later to be walked upstairs... and so they sent me a gift basket with stomach medicine and hot towels.
@@Mwoods2272 I've been let into hotel rooms plenty early in America, many times. If it's clean, usually they have no issue letting me go in. Though, it does depend on how booked out the hotel is.
As a pilot who got into airplanes at the age of 5, I agree with Grant and Joey where my core memories was planes and that basically made me into an airplane otaku today
Got into airplanes as early as 2 and I was on fast track to becoming a pilot… until I went to a seminar and horrified about the academy fees, which would’ve never be paid even if we mortgaged EVERYTHING my family owned. Picked a second childhood hobby/interest and la di da I’m now a chemical engineer with just as strong, if not stronger fascination to airplanes thanks to the engineering classes I took.
You know, anytime I hear people complain about fandoms being toxic or annoying on twitter all I can think is thank god I don't need social media to enjoy stories. Because at the end of the day that's the real issue. For Garnt and everyone else that's part of their job so it can't be helped, but personally I never see annoying crap like that because I talk to my friends about the newest chapter and maybe look up a discussion post, so its funny to hear complaints about fandoms "ruining" the enjoyment of the content itself
There is definitely cool shit on social media but most people struggle to avoid the toxicity as well as addiction so I'd say stay that way. For me, I love seeing creatives WIPs too much to leave it
Ya luckily I haven't been too wrapped in any interested with particularly toxic fandoms, because it's nice being a fan of something sharing that interest with others and seeing cool fan art and funny memes and stuff
Yeah, I don't understand this mentality, why would you shoot yourself in the foot? Been using twitter since 2017 and I don't see any toxic stuff, it's really easy to avoid imo People make twitter out to be this hell hole of a place, it's like a meme to me
we've gotten to the point where most people complaining about toxic fandoms are way more toxic anyway. most fandoms are just people trying to enjoy the content.
Connor's story of how he traumatized his mom by randomly beating his brother with a toy bridge as a toddler got me laughing so hard. It was just so out of left field geezus lol
What I think Garnt was trying to express in response to Connor asking him "why does the number of infinite scare you", is that humans have managed to invent an idea that is impossible for us to ever accurately measure/grasp/visually represent. There is now an abstract concept that will forever be beyond our ability to control, and we as a species instinctually try to control everything we encounter. It becomes terrifying when you think "what if this concept is actually true and not just some thought experiment, what if there is something in the universe that this idea actually applies to."
Garnt mentioning a desire for existential horror, I think he would love the game “SOMA”. It’s some of the best story-telling within the genre that I’ve ever played through.
he'd love to watch a deep dive on the meaning of the game, but i just cant see garnt ACTUALLY playing it. cause maybe this is just me, but SOMA is one of the most terrifying video games i've ever played
Since he loves Made in Abyss, maybe he'll also be into the Mystery Flesh Pit and Roadside Picnic/Stalker. These three have huge similarities. He also likes Annihilation, which Made in Abyss shares in terms of eerie beauty.
1:39:43 There actually is a (very well-known) horror movie about infinity-- kind of. Apparently, when the author of Bird Box (yes, the book that spawned the Netflix movie) was creating the "bird box monster," he was inspired by the concept of infinity. I think he said he'd heard somewhere that if a human were to hypothetically truly comprehend infinity, they would go insane, and that inspired the monster. I'm sure the idea evolved when the book was being written, and even more when the movie was being made, but it did stem from the concept of infinity. Just thought someone might enjoy this knowledge lol
"If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion." - Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Frankly for the last month all no guest episodes were really philosophical or trying to figure out life and society and I LOVE IT I'm not even sorry the no guest episodes are the best Except literally last episode with Sallyamaki the idol was 11 out of 10 she's so precious must protect
Space interested me then "infinity" questions starts popping and I cant wrap my head around it. like: "Where's the end of space? It all starts from the big bang, then what's before the big bang? what's nothing? if god created everything, then who created god?" These questions really made me uncomfortable as a child.
Infinity also gives me an existential crisis. E.g. when you think about the fact that after you die, you'll be gone forever - infinity. It's not just a long time, it's infinite, and it's a big difference, and even though it doesn't matter and to our brains it's basically the same, when you try to think about it, it's kind of scary.
The fear that Garnt talks about in the end is called “Apeirophobia” and I had it since I was 6. It’s been torturing me all my life and it became quite severe from the very start and developed into panic attacks that I even to this day sometimes have, it’s nasty stuff and can be pretty troublesome.
I remember the moment at 19 when I lost my faith in humanity while traveling abroad and saw a country of people basically doing the same shit to another minority group in their country that had been done to them not that long ago (historically speaking). That was the moment when I realized if you go back far enough every group of humans were victims at one point and oppressors at another. Anyone who tells you different is suffering from recency bias. Also, every person who is alive right now is only here because some of their ancestors did some truly heinous shit to ensure their genes were transmitted over others, which lead to the people alive now (you know social survival of the fittest and all).
1:24:25 the best thing about this story, that is often forgotten/unknown, is that Plato wasn't his name. It was his ring-name, because he was one of the best wrestlers in Greece at the time. So Diogenes was trolling an absolute unit
The bois had such a big existential crisis that they just up and wrapped the episode before the usual length. On a more serious note, it's crazy that the last episode smaller than this was nearly 1.5 years ago.
I really want to see Garnt go on a deep dive into cosmic horror media he's into. Aside from Lovecraft stories, he also likes Made in Abyss and Annihilation. It sounds like an interesting video idea to see for someone as meditative as Garnt.
then there's just me and Connor who don't get it. I thought it was just the concept of "numbers are just numbers" and "infinity is when you simply don't stop counting numbers"
@@dunzek943 in my case, but it is a case of "and water is wet, what's your point?" it reminds me of overly sarcastic production's detail diatribe video of "the multiverse problem" and how "the multiverse being introduced in any story makes it mean nothing" and I am like "how nihilistic you are that that's the first thing you think of the concept?" that or is a case "i am already at peace (or at least i force myself to accept) that i am nothing, that's all i am, that's all i were, and that's all i am ever going to be", so it doesn't affect me at all
@@ianr.navahuber2195it's something like getting scared about the sun going supernova in about 5 billion years ... like ... why? Live your life hombre, you are inconsequential to these problems, these concepts. Enjoy the process, enjoy life, enjoy discovery and that's that.
for the record regarding the pixar discussion. i think they've only released 4 movies, the rest were all shorts that are generally used for learning, practice and research
what fascinates me about infinity is how useful it ends up being in everyday life without us even knowing, despite how mind-bogling the concept is after you put some thought into it.
1:19:50 i think garnt maybe prefers ancient history because he wants to be detached from the horrors of what happened. Because the horrible shit we did is documented so much, if you are so curious about that time, you have to be like connor where you take in the horror as part of the thing that is tickling ur brain to learn more. I thought about that when I was reading kingdom. The shit that was happening is so cool. The tactics, the mind games, the backstabbing, but then shit like kanki's massacre happen and i am like i preferred when we were doing the other stuff and not feeling me with despair.
it is totally super fine that they’re not fans of ghibli films but a part of me wishes that they had a guest that could genuinely defend it because there are so many beautiful things about the cinematography, music, characters and overall soulful moments that give it so much life. I also feel that since the three of them don’t feel too strongly abt ghibli, their shared disinterest in it gets more enhanced.
I love at the end garnt going on this deep existential talk whilst Connor just does not give a single fuck cause unless it’s he can imagine something he just doesn’t take anything seriously💀
One of my favourite documentaries is Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old". It's a collection of remastered WW1 recordings of just life on the frontlines and over them recordings of survivors are playing. There's stuff described there that has never been remade in a film, like how they went to the toilet or how they wasted a ton of ammo just shooting rats because there were so many it was hard to walk (on top of the knee/waist-high mud and bodies), or how they had fun playing cards or having sports games. There's no narrator or story, it just starts with a clip slowly being colorised and a guy starts speaking, and then there's an hour and 40 minutes of that until the end. Probably the most unbiased documentary I've ever seen, it's literally told from firsthand accounts
Physical immersion is a different beast. I went to horror escape room recently, it was styled as catacombs, we started blindfolded, GM walked as through small corridors for like 5 minutes, handcuffed us to a wall and left us after monologing the intro story, generally: lots of crawling around in small spaces, sceletons, timed puzzles, I had to close myself in a space that was like 50x50cm and cut my way back in order to see a clue, and of course we were chased by a 'murderer' with an axe that did sparks when he hit the ground. It was bloody terrifying, and it's regarded as easy and not that scary. There are ones that go way way further and hit harder. And like, we were safe, handcuffs were plastic, there were big red stop buttons in every room and hidden cameras/intercoms so you could ask for help with riddles and shit, but I don't know if I would ever do it again. When you're playing a game you can just close it, or just turn around in your chair and bam, immersion broken. Without that barrier it really hits different. Also, people can be assholes, when we were chatting about other escape rooms he said he went to one with his friends, one of them was very easily scared so they asked not to scare her and the actor decided to ignore it and go extra hard on her. Nothing bad happened to her, but jesus, that would give me PTSD.
Saw you boys in Oslo and it was one of the best nights I've had in years. I laughed so hard I was crying and if you ever come back I'm definitely buying tickets again! Much love from us, hope you enjoyed the brown cheese!
@@blazez9481 We heard you and apparently Sweden had some beef but apparently left Norway out of it while we put both Sweden and Denmark on our list for countries we don't want to get isekai'd to 🤣
Watching Trash Taste always feels like hanging out with old friends and having a casual chat about interesting topics. Love the camaraderie between Connor, Grant, and Joey! 😄
Man, I enjoy when they talk of "kind of serious, kind of ridiculous" topics, like the one of "not wanting to be a fan because of the fandom" and "falling out of love with things". Those are interesting, serious topics, but they somewhat talk about it in the most ridiculous ways. I enjoy the serious topics (like on previous episodes of attending a funeral of a friend, trying to make friends as an adult, etc...) and the ridiculous topics (all of the food debates). But the topics that fall on the middle are something else.
It's exactly the same with train tickets in Germany. Was so annoying when I lived there. It was crazy to me that if you buy a ticket it does not come with a seat by default.
On the whisky bar. If you add maybe 3 drops of water to some whisky, the whisky will taste different. So in a whisky bar they will give you a small glass of water so you could experience the whisky you ordered. How this works is by adding water to whisky with a lot of oil, you will change the solubility of the whisky changing how you’re tasting the whisky.
The water with a whiskey isn't for drinking by itself. It's for dripping a little into the whiskey to tear apart the bonds between the water and oils to move scents and flavors in the oils to the top of the drink.
31:37 If you're a resident in Japan read this: One way to get rare stuff like tickets in Japan is to use the concierge services from platinum credit cards which has a annual fee from about $200. Not 100% guaranted but have heard of success stories of getting sold out tickets or hotel/restaurant reservations
As a cinematography fan, hearing them talking about Ghibli... it hurts bro, it is pure suffering. Ghibli studio IS not necessarily a good anime producer, but they make banger movies that they just so happend to choose the animation media.

I haven’t watched or listened to a discussion on wars in a while, so that was pretty interesting. I have a grandfather that served in Vietnam, and he was not a functioning person, or to put it nicely a pleasant person for a long time. I’m fortunate and very grateful that he has been so much better in my lifetime than he was in my mother’s. Though it does break my heart every so often as I’ve gotten older to know the things he’s done and behavior he had before.
They didn't even mention Takahata's movies, I mean, Grave of the Fireflies and The Tale of Princess Kaguya are not only 2 of the best Ghibli movies, but are probably among the best anime movies of all time
i kinda agree with garnt, and it's probably not that unpopular of an opinon. totoro is boring along with the ghibli movies that aren't made by him (pom poko, ocean waves, only yesterday, the cat returns, etc...)
@@dirt8718 I have to disagree but heh hopefully he finds it interesting one day. I always believe that watching films at the right mood and time makes a whole lot of difference. I used to have similar opinions on many other films but it changed over time.

Connor had such based takes in the history segment, holy hell. Also, his description of why he loves history as a topic is something I really relate to.
Yeh, even though his take that every nation in history did shady things should be the universal fact but unfortunately thats not the case, and different nations twist facts and then the people defend those twisted facts
90% of my earliest memories are just images or 3 second clips about the most mundane things, as if my brain selected its core memories on a whim. Still remember 2 dreams I had when I was around 3-5 years old for some reason. One of them involved a T-Rex swallowing me whole at the end, while the other had a dragon attacking the McDonald's I was in.
When they were talking about trains and said every kid was into them at one point I said I wasn't. Then as they kept talking a core memory from the deepest depths of my brain arose from when I was 3 and loving boats lmao
To be fair when they were talking about Pixar, most of the movies they included in the list were short films and weren't really meant to stand alone. (They were bangers tho)
One thing i realised growing up is that in the uk we pretty much only talk about the western front because its the part that we can make ourselves feel heroic over. We don't tend to look at it as if we were some small company fighting specifcally in france and don't tend to talk much about the whole empire stuff
Turning Red was divisive, practically 50% of people liked it and the other 50% didn't. The Incredibles 2 is decent but extremely unremarkable compared to the first one. Coco is good, that's why they used it as a divisor between 'the good era' and 'the rest'. Soul was also really good but strangely forgettable, everyone kept talking about it for like a week and then forgot rather quickly (which happens with a lot of stuff nowadays, but that's also kinda the point of the discussion).
Agree a lot with what was said above. Coco might be the last time a Pixar film blew me away, and felt like a throwback to the Pixar I grew up on; Incredibles 2 doesn't hold a candle to the first film, and is generally just completely unremarkable, making comparisons very unfair; Soul was enjoyable, but yeah, completely forgettable. I'll admit I haven't seen Turning Red, though from the outside looking in it does seem like it's had quite a divided reception (not the reason I've not watched it yet, mind)
I think most fascination we get right now came from anime. science, history, classical music, art etc. like I remember looking at classical music and the tought proccess, the emotion put in to it and the history are insane. I know its only the tip of the iceberg, but it can be a rabbit hole you can get in to.
As always, the factoid pop ups are greatly appreciated. And it's wonderfully responsible of you folks to clarify any errors the boys might say (which is natural in any human conversation. We're not going to fact check everything in the middle of talking).
I didnt expect the train ticket system to be so complicated. Japan really is a place of two extremes. Some things are extremely optimised and convenient, and other things are overly complicated because they have to change certain systems if they want to make it work well but the systems are so set in stone that it's impossible to make change happen
I have heard that, specially with ambulances, there are cases when they do not and can not rush - depending on the condition of the person inside. So slow motion would not necessarily equate a non-emergency.
They're actually making a sequel to Oppenheimer. It's about a What If situation where they bomb Korea instead of Japan. The title will be Oppengangnamstyle.

Imax used to be wayyyy different, back in the 90's. I went to the science theater at the Texas state fair in the 90's, and that was one of the only places in the world to watch an IMax movies. When I walked into the theater, I immediately fell over. It was insanely disorienting because the screen was a curved dome. I just could not figure out how to orient myself and it was scary. The actual movie was very mid, but that experience of just not even being able to walk around is a life-long treasure.
Diogenes was definitely the worlds first troll if you never heard of him absolutely look him up its fantastic ive been saying he deserves a big budget movie for years
Infinity is one of the most useful concepts that we use in engineering and science. It's right up there with imaginary numbers and graph transformations.
Core memory of firetrucks for me... competing in a "race" where you have to get to check points and sign something to prove you were there, before heading towards the next check point, and it was me and my dad in a 30s firetruck, as my dad is a now retired firefighter... But the memory is so far back now, so likely with the help of my ADHD as well of course, I can't remember which of the firetrucks it was, as there were two of them from the 30s, one Volvo firetruck, and one Mercedes one, in fact I'm not even sure if the Mercedes was 30s or 40s. Another memory is going with my dad to a job, obviously not a normal work day at the fire station, but a weekend assignment to be on site for a race, and we were in a Mercedes Unimog firetruck, and drove up into the hills surrounding the track as it's an off-road beast, and then sitting in the firetruck with the best view of the whole track, watching the race, and when a car went off and crashed, and dad had to rush over with the truck, how instead of reversing away from what I thought was almost a cliff side, he just went forward, and to my child brain it felt like we were going down like a 90 degree hill, I don't know how steep it actually was, but I do know it's steep enough that you have to climb to get up it, it's just burned into my memory how I thought we just drove off a cliff. :P Also, sorry about random ADHD rambling to whoever even bothered reading this incomprehensible mess, it's just nice for the ADHD brain to sometimes get an outlet.
I thought the reason why you get small amounts of water at whiskey places is because it's usually added to the whiskey to create small changes to it's flavour profile? Maybe they just misunderstood why you wanted it 😂

Alexander was struck by this and was impressed by his haughtiness who had nothing but scorn for him. They joked about Diogenes but Alexander said *But truly, if i were not Alexander, i wish i were Diogenes*.

What sets Diogenes apart, in my mind, is that he was at least creative and consistent in his trolling. Modern trolls don't use their brains, they just spout random nonsense to get a reaction.
To which Diogenes replied, "if I wasn't Diogenes I would also want to be me"
23:57 As a Japan railfan, some stuff to clarify: There are WAY MORE than 2 train companies in Japan, even within the JR system (similar to National Rail), not to mention the private companies.

I do hope Japan does revive a more affordable yet good sleeper train service to more destinations, that is easy to book and satisfies more people, like how the Austrian OBB does with its Nightjet service in Europe.

I’m glad someone said it. That was infuriating. I don’t think they could have missed the mark on 1917 harder if they tried. But I suppose this is called Trash Taste for a reason.
this one is all kinds of painful from thinking all those pixar shorts are movies to the ghibli stuff to 1917. christ this one hurts. especially 1917 because the year it takes place is in the TITLE of the movie. also connors comment on politics in movies is insane

57:46 This is wrong, there were NOT 23 movies released by Pixar since Coco, that was including short films and such, there were eight films released after Coco, they were:
- The Incredibles 2
- Toy Story 4
- Onward
- Soul
- Luca
- Turning Red
- Lightyear
- Elemental
All cringe.
All bad
Soul is fantastic and got hampered the most cause of COVID. I'm also a big fan of Luca and elemental, as well as thinking onwards and turning red are good additions (i know people who really like turning red, even though i wasn't big on it). But it is true that ever since toy story 3, Pixar has been more hampered and released some real stinkers, however they've also released some of their best with Coco, Soul and inside out.
I've also heard great things about inside out 2, so Pixar do make great stuff it's just rarer now unfortunately and their standards have been lowered, especially with sequels being pumped out
The Japanese business script is so real. Last visit, I ended up with food poisoning and felt it coming on. The room at the hotel we transitioned to, had a check-in time of 3p.
I asked the staff if the room was ready, around noon. They said, "Yes, it's already cleaned and prepared."
I can feel my stomach turning, so I ask them if I can check in sooner due to not feeling well.
The entire front of house staff just stared at me like I had pulled out a weapon. They panicked and kept trying to see if they could contact regional management for advice.
Eventually I had to excuse myself and spent the rest of the afternoon in the lobby bathroom unable to leave or move until my room was ready. 🥴 The staff must have understood the severity once I came out hours later to be walked upstairs... and so they sent me a gift basket with stomach medicine and hot towels.
In America, check-in is 3pm but you wouldn't get to your room until 4pm because you would have waited in line for 2 hours.

As a pilot who got into airplanes at the age of 5, I agree with Grant and Joey where my core memories was planes and that basically made me into an airplane otaku today
Samw for me, though i went UAV and engineering route haha
Got into airplanes as early as 2 and I was on fast track to becoming a pilot… until I went to a seminar and horrified about the academy fees, which would’ve never be paid even if we mortgaged EVERYTHING my family owned.
Picked a second childhood hobby/interest and la di da I’m now a chemical engineer with just as strong, if not stronger fascination to airplanes thanks to the engineering classes I took.
I just wanna say this comment along with the replies are super interesting
You know, anytime I hear people complain about fandoms being toxic or annoying on twitter all I can think is thank god I don't need social media to enjoy stories. Because at the end of the day that's the real issue. For Garnt and everyone else that's part of their job so it can't be helped, but personally I never see annoying crap like that because I talk to my friends about the newest chapter and maybe look up a discussion post, so its funny to hear complaints about fandoms "ruining" the enjoyment of the content itself
My man. I don't even know about Twitter and other app discourses until TH-camrs mention them.
There is definitely cool shit on social media but most people struggle to avoid the toxicity as well as addiction so I'd say stay that way. For me, I love seeing creatives WIPs too much to leave it
Ya luckily I haven't been too wrapped in any interested with particularly toxic fandoms, because it's nice being a fan of something sharing that interest with others and seeing cool fan art and funny memes and stuff
Yeah, I don't understand this mentality, why would you shoot yourself in the foot? Been using twitter since 2017 and I don't see any toxic stuff, it's really easy to avoid imo
People make twitter out to be this hell hole of a place, it's like a meme to me
we've gotten to the point where most people complaining about toxic fandoms are way more toxic anyway. most fandoms are just people trying to enjoy the content.
I think this is the shortest trash taste episode ever 😆 The fact that it's still longer than 90% of podcasts and it's "short" is crazy
I mean it’s not hard when you’re talking to people you like. That’s why it’s so good
episode 3 would like a word with you
@Iiro_Toivola LOL fair. I didn't remember those being that short but it's been a long time
The shortest is episode #3, which was only a bit over an hour.
Connor's story of how he traumatized his mom by randomly beating his brother with a toy bridge as a toddler got me laughing so hard. It was just so out of left field geezus lol
What I think Garnt was trying to express in response to Connor asking him "why does the number of infinite scare you", is that humans have managed to invent an idea that is impossible for us to ever accurately measure/grasp/visually represent. There is now an abstract concept that will forever be beyond our ability to control, and we as a species instinctually try to control everything we encounter. It becomes terrifying when you think "what if this concept is actually true and not just some thought experiment, what if there is something in the universe that this idea actually applies to."
God innit
My life's rock bottom
What? Giving it the "number" infinity made it controllable in a way. I don't think it's terrifying at all tbh.
trash taste feels more relaxed and comfier now, everyone’s friendship and chemistry is great.

Garnt mentioning a desire for existential horror, I think he would love the game “SOMA”. It’s some of the best story-telling within the genre that I’ve ever played through.
he'd love to watch a deep dive on the meaning of the game, but i just cant see garnt ACTUALLY playing it. cause maybe this is just me, but SOMA is one of the most terrifying video games i've ever played
Since he loves Made in Abyss, maybe he'll also be into the Mystery Flesh Pit and Roadside Picnic/Stalker. These three have huge similarities. He also likes Annihilation, which Made in Abyss shares in terms of eerie beauty.
Signals is definitely a Garnt game.
@@Royal__Kitsune I'd love to also see him play SOMA and make a video of a deep dive into cosmic/existential horror media he's into.

There actually is a (very well-known) horror movie about infinity-- kind of.
Apparently, when the author of Bird Box (yes, the book that spawned the Netflix movie) was creating the "bird box monster," he was inspired by the concept of infinity. I think he said he'd heard somewhere that if a human were to hypothetically truly comprehend infinity, they would go insane, and that inspired the monster. I'm sure the idea evolved when the book was being written, and even more when the movie was being made, but it did stem from the concept of infinity. Just thought someone might enjoy this knowledge lol

I completely understand Garnt's fear of infinity. I've been afraid of it for years now and having an existential crisis about it 😅
I find the infinity beautiful.

Space interested me then "infinity" questions starts popping and I cant wrap my head around it.
like:
"Where's the end of space? It all starts from the big bang, then what's before the big bang? what's nothing? if god created everything, then who created god?"
These questions really made me uncomfortable as a child.
Half of the Pixar films they listed are 10 minute short films
more than half too
ATLA did a pretty good job explaining the “history is written by the victor” idea.
Infinity also gives me an existential crisis. E.g. when you think about the fact that after you die, you'll be gone forever - infinity. It's not just a long time, it's infinite, and it's a big difference, and even though it doesn't matter and to our brains it's basically the same, when you try to think about it, it's kind of scary.
The fear that Garnt talks about in the end is called “Apeirophobia” and I had it since I was 6. It’s been torturing me all my life and it became quite severe from the very start and developed into panic attacks that I even to this day sometimes have, it’s nasty stuff and can be pretty troublesome.

1:13:59 I loved Connors "Are we the baddies..?" Moment 😂
Almost every country has like 10 of those moments at some point in their history. It’s remarkable how awful people can be.
@blurb9319 true. But the British did most of this shit after industrialization, so it's all on a significantly larger scale.
I remember the moment at 19 when I lost my faith in humanity while traveling abroad and saw a country of people basically doing the same shit to another minority group in their country that had been done to them not that long ago (historically speaking). That was the moment when I realized if you go back far enough every group of humans were victims at one point and oppressors at another. Anyone who tells you different is suffering from recency bias.
Also, every person who is alive right now is only here because some of their ancestors did some truly heinous shit to ensure their genes were transmitted over others, which lead to the people alive now (you know social survival of the fittest and all).

The bois had such a big existential crisis that they just up and wrapped the episode before the usual length.
On a more serious note, it's crazy that the last episode smaller than this was nearly 1.5 years ago.

I really want to see Garnt go on a deep dive into cosmic horror media he's into. Aside from Lovecraft stories, he also likes Made in Abyss and Annihilation. It sounds like an interesting video idea to see for someone as meditative as Garnt.
I relate to the infinity phobia so much, I've had an irrational fear of it ever since I was little, it's so terrifying
then there's just me and Connor who don't get it. I thought it was just the concept of "numbers are just numbers" and "infinity is when you simply don't stop counting numbers"
@@dunzek943 in my case, but it is a case of "and water is wet, what's your point?"
it reminds me of overly sarcastic production's detail diatribe video of "the multiverse problem" and how "the multiverse being introduced in any story makes it mean nothing" and I am like "how nihilistic you are that that's the first thing you think of the concept?"
that or is a case "i am already at peace (or at least i force myself to accept) that i am nothing, that's all i am, that's all i were, and that's all i am ever going to be", so it doesn't affect me at all

In regards to the Pixar Comment, a good chunk of what was listed were shorts not Full feature films. In total there were 8 new films for Pixar.

I belive they've released 8 full length movies since coco
Joey asking for Connor to be emotionally immersive in a horror game as if Connor would read the story.
what fascinates me about infinity is how useful it ends up being in everyday life without us even knowing, despite how mind-bogling the concept is after you put some thought into it.
One of my earliest memories is being so mesmerized by an airplane that I willingly sh*t my pants
I dont like being grouped with fandoms of anime that I like. I watch the anime. I enjoy the anime.
1:19:50 i think garnt maybe prefers ancient history because he wants to be detached from the horrors of what happened. Because the horrible shit we did is documented so much, if you are so curious about that time, you have to be like connor where you take in the horror as part of the thing that is tickling ur brain to learn more. I thought about that when I was reading kingdom. The shit that was happening is so cool. The tactics, the mind games, the backstabbing, but then shit like kanki's massacre happen and i am like i preferred when we were doing the other stuff and not feeling me with despair.
it is totally super fine that they’re not fans of ghibli films but a part of me wishes that they had a guest that could genuinely defend it because there are so many beautiful things about the cinematography, music, characters and overall soulful moments that give it so much life. I also feel that since the three of them don’t feel too strongly abt ghibli, their shared disinterest in it gets more enhanced.
Joey likes it. He doesn’t watch anime tho (😂)
I love at the end garnt going on this deep existential talk whilst Connor just does not give a single fuck cause unless it’s he can imagine something he just doesn’t take anything seriously💀
Honestly relatable lmaoooo 💀💀

It'd be interesting to see Garnt take a deep dive video into cosmic horror media he's into, I think- especially for someone as meditative as him.
One of my favourite documentaries is Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old". It's a collection of remastered WW1 recordings of just life on the frontlines and over them recordings of survivors are playing. There's stuff described there that has never been remade in a film, like how they went to the toilet or how they wasted a ton of ammo just shooting rats because there were so many it was hard to walk (on top of the knee/waist-high mud and bodies), or how they had fun playing cards or having sports games.
There's no narrator or story, it just starts with a clip slowly being colorised and a guy starts speaking, and then there's an hour and 40 minutes of that until the end.
Probably the most unbiased documentary I've ever seen, it's literally told from firsthand accounts

Physical immersion is a different beast. I went to horror escape room recently, it was styled as catacombs, we started blindfolded, GM walked as through small corridors for like 5 minutes, handcuffed us to a wall and left us after monologing the intro story, generally: lots of crawling around in small spaces, sceletons, timed puzzles, I had to close myself in a space that was like 50x50cm and cut my way back in order to see a clue, and of course we were chased by a 'murderer' with an axe that did sparks when he hit the ground. It was bloody terrifying, and it's regarded as easy and not that scary. There are ones that go way way further and hit harder. And like, we were safe, handcuffs were plastic, there were big red stop buttons in every room and hidden cameras/intercoms so you could ask for help with riddles and shit, but I don't know if I would ever do it again. When you're playing a game you can just close it, or just turn around in your chair and bam, immersion broken. Without that barrier it really hits different. Also, people can be assholes, when we were chatting about other escape rooms he said he went to one with his friends, one of them was very easily scared so they asked not to scare her and the actor decided to ignore it and go extra hard on her. Nothing bad happened to her, but jesus, that would give me PTSD.

Man, I enjoy when they talk of "kind of serious, kind of ridiculous" topics, like the one of "not wanting to be a fan because of the fandom" and "falling out of love with things".
Those are interesting, serious topics, but they somewhat talk about it in the most ridiculous ways.
I enjoy the serious topics (like on previous episodes of attending a funeral of a friend, trying to make friends as an adult, etc...) and the ridiculous topics (all of the food debates). But the topics that fall on the middle are something else.

On the whisky bar.
If you add maybe 3 drops of water to some whisky, the whisky will taste different. So in a whisky bar they will give you a small glass of water so you could experience the whisky you ordered.
How this works is by adding water to whisky with a lot of oil, you will change the solubility of the whisky changing how you’re tasting the whisky.
The water with a whiskey isn't for drinking by itself. It's for dripping a little into the whiskey to tear apart the bonds between the water and oils to move scents and flavors in the oils to the top of the drink.

When garnt says totoro is boring and movies without Miyazaki are shit, that's trash taste.

My heart dropped seeing the length of the episode...
When they were talking about trains and said every kid was into them at one point I said I wasn't. Then as they kept talking a core memory from the deepest depths of my brain arose from when I was 3 and loving boats lmao
To be fair when they were talking about Pixar, most of the movies they included in the list were short films and weren't really meant to stand alone. (They were bangers tho)
One thing i realised growing up is that in the uk we pretty much only talk about the western front because its the part that we can make ourselves feel heroic over. We don't tend to look at it as if we were some small company fighting specifcally in france and don't tend to talk much about the whole empire stuff
From what I've heard, "Turning Red", "Soul", "Incredibles 2", and "Coco" were all pretty good.
Turning Red was divisive, practically 50% of people liked it and the other 50% didn't. The Incredibles 2 is decent but extremely unremarkable compared to the first one. Coco is good, that's why they used it as a divisor between 'the good era' and 'the rest'. Soul was also really good but strangely forgettable, everyone kept talking about it for like a week and then forgot rather quickly (which happens with a lot of stuff nowadays, but that's also kinda the point of the discussion).
Agree a lot with what was said above. Coco might be the last time a Pixar film blew me away, and felt like a throwback to the Pixar I grew up on; Incredibles 2 doesn't hold a candle to the first film, and is generally just completely unremarkable, making comparisons very unfair; Soul was enjoyable, but yeah, completely forgettable. I'll admit I haven't seen Turning Red, though from the outside looking in it does seem like it's had quite a divided reception (not the reason I've not watched it yet, mind)
They were decent at best. Definitely not as good as the classics
I think most fascination we get right now came from anime. science, history, classical music, art etc. like I remember looking at classical music and the tought proccess, the emotion put in to it and the history are insane. I know its only the tip of the iceberg, but it can be a rabbit hole you can get in to.

Core memory of firetrucks for me... competing in a "race" where you have to get to check points and sign something to prove you were there, before heading towards the next check point, and it was me and my dad in a 30s firetruck, as my dad is a now retired firefighter...
But the memory is so far back now, so likely with the help of my ADHD as well of course, I can't remember which of the firetrucks it was, as there were two of them from the 30s, one Volvo firetruck, and one Mercedes one, in fact I'm not even sure if the Mercedes was 30s or 40s.
Another memory is going with my dad to a job, obviously not a normal work day at the fire station, but a weekend assignment to be on site for a race, and we were in a Mercedes Unimog firetruck, and drove up into the hills surrounding the track as it's an off-road beast, and then sitting in the firetruck with the best view of the whole track, watching the race, and when a car went off and crashed, and dad had to rush over with the truck, how instead of reversing away from what I thought was almost a cliff side, he just went forward, and to my child brain it felt like we were going down like a 90 degree hill, I don't know how steep it actually was, but I do know it's steep enough that you have to climb to get up it, it's just burned into my memory how I thought we just drove off a cliff. :P
Also, sorry about random ADHD rambling to whoever even bothered reading this incomprehensible mess, it's just nice for the ADHD brain to sometimes get an outlet.
Take a shot every single time Garnt says like 😂
I saw Spirited Away when I was 5 years old, I refused to watch it until much older because it was so terrifying.
I thought the reason why you get small amounts of water at whiskey places is because it's usually added to the whiskey to create small changes to it's flavour profile? Maybe they just misunderstood why you wanted it 😂
What a take by Garnt. Out of my top 5 Ghibli films only 2 are Miyazaki films. He did write one of the other ones though (Whisper of the Heart)
Takahata's at number 1 with Only Yesterday.
