@@waswat Depends on the price in my case. $60, no, $70 for a game that's basically just online multiplayer? Absolutely not, that's $15 at the most. People buy "gameplay" focused games because they know everyone else is buying it, so they know the multiplayer servers will be more populated than older games that actually have the exact same gameplay loop.
@@peacefulbystander847 I was gatekeeping as a joke but I've been gaming since the early 90s and in those days the story has always been secondary to gameplay. How much I'm willing to pay for it depends on multiple factors. I personally wouldn't pay more than 30 euros for a game in general unless it's one i've been anticipating like crazy. :) These days that's mostly because we're spoiled for choice (especially on pc) and thank god for that tbh
@@waswat In the early 90's games were very basic. Even then there were story heavier games. Having been a hardcore gamer for 3 decades I always care about the story. Playing games only for their gameplay got boring atleast a decade ago. I've just played too many games to care only about the gameplay.
I know it's been out for a month, but I just wanted to share Raul Julia's story as to why he took on the role of M bison and why he gave 110%. At the time, Julia knew he was dying of cancer. He had maybe one or two film roles left before sickness would take him, so he wanted to take on a role that a) his kids could see and b) his family could stay with him during filming. Street Fighter was a game his kids loved, so he knew his kids and their friends would see it, and it was filmed in Australia so he and his family got to do some snorkling and see sydney together as some of their last vacation memories. Plus, and this is from Raul himself, the script called for him to beat up Jean Claude Van Damme and he enjoyed that as it was a moment where he got to feel powerful again. A brief reprieve, to be sure, but one he enjoyed as he knew his time on this earth drew to a close. He proceeded to chew on every piece of scenery when the cameras were rolling and made sure to deliver each line as if he was on stage in front of her majesty the Queen, so that each and every line would be memorable. I think that energy caught on and so everyone else had to bring some energy to match. And to this day, people don't look at Tuesday, or 5 british pounds, the same way....RIP Raul Julia....You made it a point to send it and by God did you ever.
It's more funny that he complains Garnt didn't enjoy JW4 cuz he missed the subtleties from not watching JW3... then proceeds to complain about Oshi no Ko and displays that he clearly did not understand the plot (just like with 86) and proceed to say it was weird and bad lol... For those interested, he states that the MC stalks the girl and saves her and that was weird, it was specifically stated that that only happened because there was a storm and one of their friends told their group that she had left her house and didn't hasn't gone home. Girl hasn't left her house in weeks, the MC couldn't give two shits about her normally, let alone stalk her. As for the "editing makes her not depressed" take, in this case it was editing that made her depressed in the first place, that's why it could fix it. The reason she was getting flak from the internet was because the director of the show only decided to edit in the flame-baiting parts of the characters' relationship, so the group comes up with the counter method of editing and showing how the cast is like outside of the screen to show that the narrative was actually not at all how the directors/producers portrayed it. With 86, Connor's monke brain took the show to be "racism bad, I get it," whereas the entire point was about a girl who knew "racism bad," "tried" to fight it, and got called out for her half-assed sympathy. The point of 86 was never about racism, it was a story about a post apocalyptic world where racism was only a very small part of one section of the story, and as realistic as it is, that specific issue was never magically resolved with anime magic logic like it did in One Piece. Man, this, along with the recent Connor canvas mod nuke shenanigans, outside of the Mouse stuff, he's been making L takes and L moves all around lately.
it's because he likes John Wick BECAUSE it doesn't have much of a plot, yet he likes it so much that he will defend it from all criticism, even the criticism that points out the very things he likes, it's kind of like shrodinger's taste, he simultaneously likes dumb media but hates it when people call it dumb so he will argue they are actually smart, even though he hates overly smart media

Garent saying Ai was a bad mom the other week had me heated. Its like maybe you can say she wasnt the best but she was a highschool dropout single parent with no family to speak of and to call a single working mom who wants to give her kids a better childhood then herself was such a slap in the face to single moms.
@@gundam42d64i get both sides of this. it was wrong for garnt to say that as an outsider bc it comes off as straight up judgement and criticism without any personal involvement but if her kids said she was a bad mom they would be valid in their feelings (if she was actually neglectful/lacking in any of their needs, unintentionally or not).

As a long time MMA fan, just wanted to address a few things the boys got wrong. While their are certainly risks involved in MMA fights that don't in boxing, such as hyperextensions from joint locks, or fractures from kicks, the long term health of the athletes is actually much better than boxing. It looks a lot more brutal because the smaller gloves are more likely to localize damage, making more cuts, breaking bones, etc. However, the gloves weigh SIGNIFICANTLY less than boxing gloves. This means that the hits are actually less powerful, and transfer less energy into the brain, which is what causes long term brain damage in fighters. Which brings me to the next big thing they got wrong- fight stoppage is way faster, and way more common in MMA than boxing. If you get knocked down in MMA, that's usually a fight ender, whereas in boxing you get a ten count. That ultimately means better long term health implications for fighters. Lastly, the inhaler bit. While life saving medicine shouldn't ever be prevented for a fight, a medicated inhaler *absolutely* provides an advantage in sports, not just fighting sports. It opens up your bronchioles and improves oxygen uptake, which is the whole point of the medicine. As you might imagine, that would be a pretty decent advantage for any athlete to have.
It is a difficult situation though, like if a fighter needs it should they still be denied their inhaler? There needs to be some kind of quick process in place to determine this when a fighter is on the stool. Also Greg Hardy is a piece of shit so there’s that.
i agree with everyting accept the inhaler part, it just takes away a debuff that the other fighter doesnt have, returning it to a level playing feild, you stilll have to catch your breath the only now you are ABLE to catch your breath like a regular person in your situation would
@@heroicxidiot I mean yeah, it's unfortunate but sports is inherently unfair for people with any disability. The whole point is finding the person with the best mix of genetics and work ethic.
Part 3 basically just had John wick running from the assassin association and finding a way to overturn his excommunicado state, and once he found a way, he decided that its not worth it if it means killing his friend,which turned out to betray him in the end. That's literally it. The only really important part of that of movie is the last 30 minutes.
akane started acting using a persona so that the online hate wouldnt reach her true self, the videos they made to stop the hate were mainly to show that the cast members are friends and she is not just an entitled snob
Garnt's, or rather his parents logic is great: Garn: the r is too stressed, and the n hangs loose Gant: the a could be pronounced as e. the vowel is cut short. Garnt: guarantees the vowel is held at two clicks, and the a is read phonetically. also, the n is properly concluded. unfortunately, it's too similar to a typo of Grant😂
Aqua wasn't stalking Akane Connor,they had a group chat with all the members cast and they were talking to Akane and they knew she was going out in the storm so Aqua knew something was wrong and went looking for her, he wasn't stalking her
@@pixelmeth its one of the og game from way back in 2010 ish just like angry bird where now people use as a footage alongside the actual content they making on tiktok
@@kiyopon5654 Or it's on the second monitor. I have a friend who watches things like that for things that aren't his major interest. Monke is allergic to reincarnation and high school despite how good the anime may be, and this has both. I was hopeful when the topic came up, but should've expected a garbage flavor take. Still wouldn't have expected it to be such an ignorant take though.
And i was saddened that all of them hate aqua lol. I personally like his character. Ofc he does things that I find questionable but he always finds a way (so far) to smooth things out.
connor has on point oshi no ko takes lol, the main character is an edge fest, and it has so many anime logic in it. i fucking love oshi no ko because i can overlook those anime bullshit and probably you guys too, but imagine recommending this to a non anime fan...
Nah, he is right. I also thought that how *OSHI NO KO SPOILERS* Aqua saved akane was not rooted in reality, it was basically like stalking, even if it is for good intentions. And the way the next episode went felt rushed. It was like, I was on the bridge literally jumping off of it and the next episode is so sudden and dramatic change that she went from being suicidal to literally being Ai on the set of the dating show. The show also just expose a lot of information like most anime does. Sometimes treating audience like idiots.
Yeesh Connor’s Oshi no Ko takes are definitely contenders for some of the worst this year so far. Dude sounds like he was watching it with his eyes closed
1:07:45 Boxing is actually far worse than MMA typically for fatal injuries because unlike what Conor said boxing goes longer because of the standing 8 counts and such, you can be knocked down multiple times and still continue to fight while in MMA if you get knocked down the fight is likely going to end soon. Obviously there are exceptions in both, as for the inhaler if they were legal most fighters would probably use them.
I'm glad you commented this, it's quite a misconception with how dangerous UFC is, when in reality it's pretty safe compared to other sports. Most fights are stopped pretty quickly and there has never been any deaths inside the octagon, while there has been loads in the boxing ring.
Boxing gloves make it look safer, if you don't know any better. In reality they just make it easier to tenderize the other guy's brain without breaking your hands. Not a great trade off for the long term health of anyone involved.
The safety gloves aspect ironically makes boxing worse for the fighters long-term. There's a similar pattern with making American Football helmets safer for the head: it ultimately allows players to tackle harder and take more insane risks.
I will endlessly praise The Climber. When I was reading it, it was right when Covid started, and I was stuck at my brothers. I was on my PS4, with a huge hd tv, just reading it slowly, and.. never has a manga genuinely made me go "woah..!". I didn't feel like I was looking at a drawing of a mountain view, or even a picture - it felt like I had actually climbed it with the main character, and was seeing what he was seeing. It made me cry at least two or three times.. and I don't think anything will come close to that any time soon.
Just factually wrong too. Claimed Aqua was stalking Akane and waiting for her to jump when it was explained that he went out to look for her after Mem informed the group that Akane's out during a typhoon. Claimed that Aqua was smart because he reincarnated when he was already smart prior o reincarnation.
Legit. I can handle a different opinion, but when the reasons for your opinion are factually wrong my brain starts to hurt. It's like saying you don't like One Piece because it's too short. That said, I agree with it feeling rushed. In the anime that whole arc felt way faster than I remembered it being in the manga. I'll have to reread the manga to be sure though.
@@jjpasay Dude was literally a doctor yet Connor wonders how he is so smart. Connor also says that everyone suddenly loves Akane after the video despite Aqua clearly stating that some online backlash still remains. Connor also called the behind the scenes video on twitter that shattered the illusion of the reality show being real to the audience a "tiktok dance". It's clear he wasn't paying attention when watching it.
@@Jennypogi Connor is that one friend that watched like 10 animes but considers himself a conniseur of the art, then proceeds to present the most dog shit take ever as an objective fact.
It's quite funny how Garnt said that almost no one has heard about 'The Climber', when it is literally one the most critically acclaimed mangas of all time. I guess we manga readers will have another opportunity to come out of our bunkers when it finally gets an Anime adaptation.
Impressive that Connor even understood Vinland when he does not have enough attention span to understand what's happening on something like Oshi no Ko. Every single thing that Connor said in that part was either misunderstood or straight up wrong, even when said things were explained properly in the show.
And what upsets me more is that you can tell that garnt and joey completely disagree with him, yet they were afraid to call him out, i guess opinions like these are why this show is called trash taste.
@@callmera0uf560 I don't also understand how you kind say you like the show with saying Aqua is the weakest part of the show when Aqua's existence pretty much carries the premise of the show as otherwise Ruby alone wouldn't stand out from female or male iskeai leads let alone idol shows.
About Aqua saving Akane on the bridge, you missed the first part of episode 7. It was memcho who was looking for Akane as she was buying food in the middle of a typhoon. Memcho then noticed that Akane hasn't come back from the convenience store after awhile so she started looking for her. She then called everyone on the group chat to help her find Akane.
Hey lads love your videos! Just wanted to leave this comment here as a memorial. Back in 2020 I discovered the first episode of the trash taste podcast while housesitting for some friends. I’ve been listening for the last three years and I’m finishing housesitting for the fourth time in a row while listening to this podcast episode. Thanks for seeing me through the last three years as well as my pursuit of a bachelors degree in software development. Can’t wait for many more episodes in the years to come!
Thank you Garnt for talking about The Climber, its one of my favourite manga of all time, I read it so many years ago and it marked me deeply. Sakamoto Shinichi's art needs more appreciation!!
About Blanca: From a Brazilian's perspective, that character has all the energy and Rng from our country. The sheer amount of weird,chaotic and somewhat random things that happens on a daily basis is represented by Blanca. I don't know if we grew to be like that ,or if the creators of street fight were lucky to assign a character that truly represents our "Goblin energy".
The climber is truly a manga that hits you like a k-2 snow avalanche. It is in those life and death moments where you fear it and get so immersed you forget that you are just reading a manga.
Connor just did LMAO. OnK diehard-core fans clearly became his enemy after that. I like the anime but goddamn, you do need to turn off your brain for some scenes that are really questionable and requires you to just have a suspension of disbelief.
I don't want to be rude to trash taste as I can tell that they are obviously misinformed on the UFC so hope I can clarify some of the comments. For one, the whole fact that MMA is more gruesome then boxing and less technical is actually the opposite. The level of technique that fighters have to learn in various different martial arts is much more skillful than boxing, as well as being able to mix it all up, and expose weaknesses. Secondly, when Connor says that he doesn't like to see when somebody is knocked out cold, FC and major organisations stop the fight as soon as a fighter has tapped or it is clear to see they have been knocked out, whereas in boxing, even if a fighter has been knocked down, they only get a ten second count until they are back into the fight, and as a result, there are around 14 deaths in boxing a year, whereas in MMA it's much less. Finally, about the inhaler situation, this is not an MMA thing. Inhalers are considered to be something that can boost performance in all sports, and the fighter that did it was an American Football player before that. As well as this, he did not use the inhaler in prior fights, as fighters are expected to know what they are consuming or putting into their body is approved by the governing body, which the fighter (his name is Greg Hardy) must know about, which is why Dana White wasn't happy with him. Overall, I like your guys' content but please do not make takes on stuff that has come from clips, and try and educate yourself on a topic before you bring it up. Thanks for the podcast, looking forward to next week's one
Where's a huge difference between a real fight where pro athletes beat the shit out of each other and John wick where every fight scene is directed and no one gets hurt
Not just that he skipped the best movie of the quadrillogy by FAR.. and im not saying 1,2 and 4 are not great movies but 3 had Halle Barry, John beating the shit out of guys with axes and breaking necks with books.. Using horses to kick dudes in the face and some of the best set pieces including that awesome dog attack.. I'm sorry but if im only watching one John wick movie the choice will be 3 every time
@@whorod8895 well yeah it's my opinion.. I never said it was a fact.. But also my option NEVER has anything to do with what the majority or critics are saying.. I make up my own mind.. Seems like you just look at review scored
Garnt sounds like he would love Outer Wilds since he's big on story and world building. I think the setting is easy to get into but very interesting and immersive
HEAVENLY DELUSION IS AMAZING! I watched it on the recc of a friend and I was sceptical at first, it really sold me at the end and was my favorite series of the season by far, episode 10 is a big stylistic standout, it was done by someone from trigger iirc and you can tell.
The romance reality show drama in oshi no ko was not rushed in the anime The anime did a perfect adaptation of 3 chapters per episode and that episode, episode 6 where akane gets cancelled was one of the best episodes in the show Also aqua literally said mem told him that akane had went out during the typhoon so he went looking for her, and so did the other members of the cast after that. Connor needs to pay attention to dialog
Garnt has literally just explained how every person with ADHD feels when they are chatting and flowing then all of a sudden the whole mood changes when the focus is on a board game or like MTG
I'm like this too, but I just appreciate sociacialising by itself and playing games when we planned for it. When I'm chilling and half the crew goes to play a game with pre-made jokes, I roll my eyes.
40:22 Hi, I am that person. 😊 I enjoy it a lot because although I can "decently" draw, I wouldn't call myself good. Character creation, modeling a room, or player cards don't require physical skill. All the options are there for you and you can pick and choose the combinations / locations. It satisfies me creatively.
@@HUMANSALAd666The man was a monk for a while, he only uses the word vibe so people understand what he's talking about. The energy of the room does indeed shift when everyone all of a sudden focuses on a comedy simulator.
1:08:30 Connor's take is misinformed. In the UFC, if you get KO-ed even once or if the judge thinks the fight is one-sided, the fight is stopped. Boxing is actually *more* dangerous than the UFC and more instances of fighters with brain damage happen there. Besides, fights in the UFC can also be finished by submissions (aka putting your opponent on a lock), which means some fights don't even end on a knock out.
It honestly sounds like they've watched clips from the older era of the UFC. I wouldn't blame them for those opinions if that's their frame of reference. Refs tend to stop it a lot earlier now. Also the main reasons why I watch it are: A. The technique and learning from the best B. The fighters and their stories C. It's just more entertaining to watch than boxing
1:37:27 No, he was not stalking her. He went looking for her because another contestant told him that she went out in a typhoon and still didn't come home. Reading/Watching comprehension, Connor.
Honestly his take was really bad this time I'm not going to go over what u have already explained cause u explained it perfectly but when they were talking about aqua I felt like they were purposely ignoring aspects of his character for whatever reason cause he may not have as much depth as many other characters in anime but when u look at the environment that he was grown up in it makes sense especially when his character gets more depth in the manga (side note u can dislike him that's fine I just think they are hating him to just hate him). One other thing that Connor said that I disagree with he said he was a doctor so how does he know all this skill simple if ur determined enough 10 years of a festering revenge can benefit u in a lot of ways not to mention he had 20 or 30 years in his last life and he got a reset and currently has 16 more years on top of it it makes sense why he's skilled.
I sometimes don't understand who lacks more media literacy Garnt or Connor. Connor legitimately didn't pay attention to anything that happened in Oshi No Ko and I'm so mad Garnt didn't correct him like brother they literally tell you what's going on with Akane and Aqua
Honestly I feel Gigguk does this a lot with them. I can’t tell if he just doesn’t care to correct their bad anime takes or maybe he just forgets the details in the moment. It gets especially confusing when it is regarding a show he likes.
@@Mellow_Yellow13 I feel like with the amount of anime he watches on 1.5x speed, it's really easy to forget so many things about an anime let alone a single scene.
@@AruminDes it is obviously a real possibility but given how much he likes the show and the fact he watched it recently, I find it questionable. It’d be different if he forgot a plot detail from his 25th favorite show of this from like January. But you maybe right.

I did the same as Garnt, skipped the 3rd and watched the 4th. Some great to good cinematography and combat, but the acting, plot, and for some reason the color balance was dog shit.
@@martin162asdSome of my friends or people online say that it's a dumb action film and that I'm taking it too seriously, but then why is John Wick 4 so long and has so many scenes where it pretends to have deep and good dialogue? This is probably a hot take for people that watched JW3 but I prefer that film to 4 because it was short and knew that it was a dumb action film
@@balabanasiretiI love the dichotomy of people going “it’s just a dumb action movie why does it matter?” but then they lose it whenever you slightly criticize it, like the movie is part of their identity or something
I am so glad Garnt read and talked about The Climber. It's so underpopular and really desetves more love. Even better is that the chapters have newspaper articles of actual events regarding rock climbing irl. The only other manga I can think of that does something similar is "Holyland".
Garnt: "It needs to make sense within the logic of its own world. If something doesn't make sense within the logic of its own world... It's just like a pin pricking my brain where i just like, I can't ignore it." Also Garnt: *loves watching isekai*
He likes Honkai Star Rail. You know, the game where you can have a party full of characters that you literally have never met because you got them by chance in the gacha. And also your party is not consistent with the characters that are traveling alongside you.
@@jaydenchaney4081 I don't know. Never played Genshin and I played honkai until a certain fight that everyone agrees it's really cool and I found myself feeling like the game offered me everything and from that point on I was playing just to grind. I'm sure you meet them all at some point but to me I can't feel invested when I have a part where the protagonist says goodbye to a character and the game is like "you have unlocked the character now you can use her in your party"
@@jaydenchaney4081you technically never met Blade, Luocha and Yanqing yet they're still playable Only way to feel 'immersed' in gcha games like this is to just restrict yourself to use only characters that canonically appears in the main story you're currently, but even that needs a lot of investment and gacha hell
The thing with an inhaler I disagree with 100%. If you are literally dying because of your asthma or some other medical condition, you are able to get treatment obviously, but if it'll lead to an unfair advance, even if the other fighter isn't purposefully trying to take advantage of being able to take his inhaler, it still gives him an unfair advantage. You can make the argument that people will try to fake the need to take their inhalers for an unfair advantage, but even without that scenario happening, it would still lead to an unfair match. Conner is acting like you can't just disqualify yourself to take your medication that'll save your life. Sure, it's sad that that's how it has to be, but it's better to be disqualified than to allow people to play with an unfair advantage that would be considered cheating by 100% of people if it wasn't in the context of medicine.
1:09:44 Wasn't there UFC matches where people were debating whether the ref stepped in to stop the fight too early or too late? To say that they don't care about the welfare of the fighters is untrue.
I think The Climber just started to get psychical volumes in Spanish and English, so hopefully more people will know about it soon. I don't think it's too underrated I see a lot of people reading it and praise it on sites like Anilist, but usually on like a manga seinen type of circle, the problem is that manga readers usually just talk with manga reader and about the same time of series their group talks and read, not a lot of diversity on genres a lot of the times
Every time Garnt says "take it for granted" I'm reminded that I'm still waiting for "Journey Across Japan: Take it for Garnted".

Nah Connor thinking that John Wick has a good story is so beyond me. It is serviceable at best. It is all about the action
Connor's reaction to Garnt not watching john wick 3 is gamers reaction to Connor skipping cutscenes.
Well he's not skipping anymore if you watch his recent gameplay
True gamers skip cutscenes. We don't care about the story, it's all about the gameplay.
@@waswat Depends on the price in my case. $60, no, $70 for a game that's basically just online multiplayer? Absolutely not, that's $15 at the most. People buy "gameplay" focused games because they know everyone else is buying it, so they know the multiplayer servers will be more populated than older games that actually have the exact same gameplay loop.
@@peacefulbystander847 I was gatekeeping as a joke but I've been gaming since the early 90s and in those days the story has always been secondary to gameplay. How much I'm willing to pay for it depends on multiple factors. I personally wouldn't pay more than 30 euros for a game in general unless it's one i've been anticipating like crazy. :)
These days that's mostly because we're spoiled for choice (especially on pc) and thank god for that tbh
@@waswat In the early 90's games were very basic. Even then there were story heavier games. Having been a hardcore gamer for 3 decades I always care about the story.
Playing games only for their gameplay got boring atleast a decade ago. I've just played too many games to care only about the gameplay.
I know it's been out for a month, but I just wanted to share Raul Julia's story as to why he took on the role of M bison and why he gave 110%. At the time, Julia knew he was dying of cancer. He had maybe one or two film roles left before sickness would take him, so he wanted to take on a role that a) his kids could see and b) his family could stay with him during filming. Street Fighter was a game his kids loved, so he knew his kids and their friends would see it, and it was filmed in Australia so he and his family got to do some snorkling and see sydney together as some of their last vacation memories. Plus, and this is from Raul himself, the script called for him to beat up Jean Claude Van Damme and he enjoyed that as it was a moment where he got to feel powerful again. A brief reprieve, to be sure, but one he enjoyed as he knew his time on this earth drew to a close.
He proceeded to chew on every piece of scenery when the cameras were rolling and made sure to deliver each line as if he was on stage in front of her majesty the Queen, so that each and every line would be memorable. I think that energy caught on and so everyone else had to bring some energy to match. And to this day, people don't look at Tuesday, or 5 british pounds, the same way....RIP Raul Julia....You made it a point to send it and by God did you ever.
It's funny that Connor is the one trying to defend plot in something like John wick, yet couldn't care less in games
well all the wick movies are monkey mode.
It's more funny that he complains Garnt didn't enjoy JW4 cuz he missed the subtleties from not watching JW3... then proceeds to complain about Oshi no Ko and displays that he clearly did not understand the plot (just like with 86) and proceed to say it was weird and bad lol...
For those interested, he states that the MC stalks the girl and saves her and that was weird, it was specifically stated that that only happened because there was a storm and one of their friends told their group that she had left her house and didn't hasn't gone home. Girl hasn't left her house in weeks, the MC couldn't give two shits about her normally, let alone stalk her.
As for the "editing makes her not depressed" take, in this case it was editing that made her depressed in the first place, that's why it could fix it. The reason she was getting flak from the internet was because the director of the show only decided to edit in the flame-baiting parts of the characters' relationship, so the group comes up with the counter method of editing and showing how the cast is like outside of the screen to show that the narrative was actually not at all how the directors/producers portrayed it.
With 86, Connor's monke brain took the show to be "racism bad, I get it," whereas the entire point was about a girl who knew "racism bad," "tried" to fight it, and got called out for her half-assed sympathy. The point of 86 was never about racism, it was a story about a post apocalyptic world where racism was only a very small part of one section of the story, and as realistic as it is, that specific issue was never magically resolved with anime magic logic like it did in One Piece.
Man, this, along with the recent Connor canvas mod nuke shenanigans, outside of the Mouse stuff, he's been making L takes and L moves all around lately.
@@kunfupandarofl stfu it is not that serious to write an essay over it
it's because he likes John Wick BECAUSE it doesn't have much of a plot, yet he likes it so much that he will defend it from all criticism, even the criticism that points out the very things he likes, it's kind of like shrodinger's taste, he simultaneously likes dumb media but hates it when people call it dumb so he will argue they are actually smart, even though he hates overly smart media

Garent saying Ai was a bad mom the other week had me heated. Its like maybe you can say she wasnt the best but she was a highschool dropout single parent with no family to speak of and to call a single working mom who wants to give her kids a better childhood then herself was such a slap in the face to single moms.
@@gundam42d64i get both sides of this. it was wrong for garnt to say that as an outsider bc it comes off as straight up judgement and criticism without any personal involvement but if her kids said she was a bad mom they would be valid in their feelings (if she was actually neglectful/lacking in any of their needs, unintentionally or not).

Talking about games:
Connor: I just skip the story
Garnt: BUT THE STORY
Talking about movies:
Garnt: Yeah, I skipped John Wick 3
Connor: BUT THE STORY

É o clássico momento "BRAZIL MENTIONED". Além disso, como não gostar dele? Ele é literalmente "homem lagarto, haha".
As a long time MMA fan, just wanted to address a few things the boys got wrong. While their are certainly risks involved in MMA fights that don't in boxing, such as hyperextensions from joint locks, or fractures from kicks, the long term health of the athletes is actually much better than boxing. It looks a lot more brutal because the smaller gloves are more likely to localize damage, making more cuts, breaking bones, etc. However, the gloves weigh SIGNIFICANTLY less than boxing gloves. This means that the hits are actually less powerful, and transfer less energy into the brain, which is what causes long term brain damage in fighters.
Which brings me to the next big thing they got wrong- fight stoppage is way faster, and way more common in MMA than boxing. If you get knocked down in MMA, that's usually a fight ender, whereas in boxing you get a ten count. That ultimately means better long term health implications for fighters.
Lastly, the inhaler bit. While life saving medicine shouldn't ever be prevented for a fight, a medicated inhaler *absolutely* provides an advantage in sports, not just fighting sports. It opens up your bronchioles and improves oxygen uptake, which is the whole point of the medicine. As you might imagine, that would be a pretty decent advantage for any athlete to have.
It is a difficult situation though, like if a fighter needs it should they still be denied their inhaler? There needs to be some kind of quick process in place to determine this when a fighter is on the stool. Also Greg Hardy is a piece of shit so there’s that.
What do you do when you have an asthma attack? Throw the fight?
Was looking for this comment 🤝
i agree with everyting accept the inhaler part, it just takes away a debuff that the other fighter doesnt have, returning it to a level playing feild, you stilll have to catch your breath the only now you are ABLE to catch your breath like a regular person in your situation would
@@heroicxidiot I mean yeah, it's unfortunate but sports is inherently unfair for people with any disability. The whole point is finding the person with the best mix of genetics and work ethic.

Garnt saying Wick doesn’t have a plot is equal to him saying fate is easy to understand. Only Garnt can understand Garnt and the way he reasons
I mean, compared with Fate, John Wick's plot is basically a 4-piece puzzle.
@@ndyKongIt isn’t that weak. But Garnt literally skipped 1/4 of the story so he is not really qualified to make criticisms…
Or "Game of Thrones is too good"
John Wick has basically no plot
Part 3 basically just had John wick running from the assassin association and finding a way to overturn his excommunicado state, and once he found a way, he decided that its not worth it if it means killing his friend,which turned out to betray him in the end. That's literally it. The only really important part of that of movie is the last 30 minutes.
"garnt sounds like a white name" is honestly one of the weirdest takes ever in this show
12:23 "fcking assholes, why are you having fun without me" Connor truly hits different when he puts on angry guy vibe
I love that😔🤚
That's the moment Connor became Heisenberg
akane started acting using a persona so that the online hate wouldnt reach her true self, the videos they made to stop the hate were mainly to show that the cast members are friends and she is not just an entitled snob
Garnt complaining about Cards against humanity feels like showing friend group A your friend group B personality
😂😂
Garnt's, or rather his parents logic is great:
Garn: the r is too stressed, and the n hangs loose
Gant: the a could be pronounced as e. the vowel is cut short.
Garnt: guarantees the vowel is held at two clicks, and the a is read phonetically. also, the n is properly concluded. unfortunately, it's too similar to a typo of Grant😂
Title: "We have no enemies"
Connor's takes on Oshi no Ko: "hold my beer"
Aqua wasn't stalking Akane Connor,they had a group chat with all the members cast and they were talking to Akane and they knew she was going out in the storm so Aqua knew something was wrong and went looking for her, he wasn't stalking her

Monke is allergic to reincarnation and high school despite how good the anime may be, and this has both. I was hopeful when the topic came up, but should've expected a garbage flavor take. Still wouldn't have expected it to be such an ignorant take though.
And i was saddened that all of them hate aqua lol. I personally like his character. Ofc he does things that I find questionable but he always finds a way (so far) to smooth things out.
connor has on point oshi no ko takes lol, the main character is an edge fest, and it has so many anime logic in it. i fucking love oshi no ko because i can overlook those anime bullshit and probably you guys too, but imagine recommending this to a non anime fan...
Nah, he is right. I also thought that how *OSHI NO KO SPOILERS*
Aqua saved akane was not rooted in reality, it was basically like stalking, even if it is for good intentions. And the way the next episode went felt rushed. It was like, I was on the bridge literally jumping off of it and the next episode is so sudden and dramatic change that she went from being suicidal to literally being Ai on the set of the dating show. The show also just expose a lot of information like most anime does. Sometimes treating audience like idiots.
Yeesh Connor’s Oshi no Ko takes are definitely contenders for some of the worst this year so far. Dude sounds like he was watching it with his eyes closed

Keep liking your horny bait shows, the industry needs you.
I mean he’s not wrong though. It did not live up to my expectations at all personally
1:07:45 Boxing is actually far worse than MMA typically for fatal injuries because unlike what Conor said boxing goes longer because of the standing 8 counts and such, you can be knocked down multiple times and still continue to fight while in MMA if you get knocked down the fight is likely going to end soon. Obviously there are exceptions in both, as for the inhaler if they were legal most fighters would probably use them.
I'm glad you commented this, it's quite a misconception with how dangerous UFC is, when in reality it's pretty safe compared to other sports. Most fights are stopped pretty quickly and there has never been any deaths inside the octagon, while there has been loads in the boxing ring.
Boxing gloves make it look safer, if you don't know any better. In reality they just make it easier to tenderize the other guy's brain without breaking your hands. Not a great trade off for the long term health of anyone involved.
boxing also causes longterm brain trauma
The safety gloves aspect ironically makes boxing worse for the fighters long-term. There's a similar pattern with making American Football helmets safer for the head: it ultimately allows players to tackle harder and take more insane risks.
@@blammmed yeah in boxing it's pretty much head or body, and most fighters aim for the head while MMA you have more targets
I will endlessly praise The Climber. When I was reading it, it was right when Covid started, and I was stuck at my brothers. I was on my PS4, with a huge hd tv, just reading it slowly, and.. never has a manga genuinely made me go "woah..!". I didn't feel like I was looking at a drawing of a mountain view, or even a picture - it felt like I had actually climbed it with the main character, and was seeing what he was seeing. It made me cry at least two or three times.. and I don't think anything will come close to that any time soon.
The boys seemed to be in a great mood this episode
Every word that Connor says about Oshi No Ko kills my brain
Yeah, same here man. I never thought an opinion can be wrong until now.
Just factually wrong too.
Claimed Aqua was stalking Akane and waiting for her to jump when it was explained that he went out to look for her after Mem informed the group that Akane's out during a typhoon.
Claimed that Aqua was smart because he reincarnated when he was already smart prior o reincarnation.
Legit. I can handle a different opinion, but when the reasons for your opinion are factually wrong my brain starts to hurt.
It's like saying you don't like One Piece because it's too short.
That said, I agree with it feeling rushed. In the anime that whole arc felt way faster than I remembered it being in the manga. I'll have to reread the manga to be sure though.
@@jjpasay Dude was literally a doctor yet Connor wonders how he is so smart. Connor also says that everyone suddenly loves Akane after the video despite Aqua clearly stating that some online backlash still remains. Connor also called the behind the scenes video on twitter that shattered the illusion of the reality show being real to the audience a "tiktok dance". It's clear he wasn't paying attention when watching it.
@@Jennypogi Connor is that one friend that watched like 10 animes but considers himself a conniseur of the art, then proceeds to present the most dog shit take ever as an objective fact.
It's quite funny how Garnt said that almost no one has heard about 'The Climber', when it is literally one the most critically acclaimed mangas of all time. I guess we manga readers will have another opportunity to come out of our bunkers when it finally gets an Anime adaptation.
Impressive that Connor even understood Vinland when he does not have enough attention span to understand what's happening on something like Oshi no Ko. Every single thing that Connor said in that part was either misunderstood or straight up wrong, even when said things were explained properly in the show.
And what upsets me more is that you can tell that garnt and joey completely disagree with him, yet they were afraid to call him out, i guess opinions like these are why this show is called trash taste.
100% agree. Kind of sucks that's how the Oshi No Ko discussion went.
@@callmera0uf560 I don't also understand how you kind say you like the show with saying Aqua is the weakest part of the show when Aqua's existence pretty much carries the premise of the show as otherwise Ruby alone wouldn't stand out from female or male iskeai leads let alone idol shows.
Connor’s take on Oshi no Ko is my nomination for worst Trash Taste take 2023 (no bias)
It's not just the take but his inability to give a good review to save his life
Not watching John wick 3 before 4 is pretty bad as well

About Aqua saving Akane on the bridge, you missed the first part of episode 7. It was memcho who was looking for Akane as she was buying food in the middle of a typhoon.

Thanks for seeing me through the last three years as well as my pursuit of a bachelors degree in software development. Can’t wait for many more episodes in the years to come!

Thank you Garnt for talking about The Climber, its one of my favourite manga of all time, I read it so many years ago and it marked me deeply. Sakamoto Shinichi's art needs more appreciation!!
Criminally underrated for sure!
I read that manga. It's a masterpiece.
I hope the UFC talk gets nominated for the "I made it the fuck up" Award lol
I concur.
Same with the "there are no martial arts movies anymore" lol
It hurt to listen to because they’re talking like they know how ufc works, but the sentence before they say they don’t know anything about it.
About Blanca: From a Brazilian's perspective, that character has all the energy and Rng from our country. The sheer amount of weird,chaotic and somewhat random things that happens on a daily basis is represented by Blanca.
I don't know if we grew to be like that ,or if the creators of street fight were lucky to assign a character that truly represents our "Goblin energy".
Calling Garnt in its thai correct form is actually makes it more American. Giving his "bang bang bang" meme much more context.
This episode has some of the most INTERESTING takes in a while
Connor getting mad at Garnt for skipping cutscenes (aka all of John Wick 3) because he missed the story. What a world.
I've never read The Climber but the author's other work Innocent is amazing. The story, characters, and artwork are just so captivating
The climber is truly a manga that hits you like a k-2 snow avalanche. It is in those life and death moments where you fear it and get so immersed you forget that you are just reading a manga.
While they may not have any enemies atm, they can certainly create some with their takes xD
Maybe I could overlook their insufferable arrogance and stupid ugly mugs ifbthey weren't such hypocrites
Connor just did LMAO. OnK diehard-core fans clearly became his enemy after that. I like the anime but goddamn, you do need to turn off your brain for some scenes that are really questionable and requires you to just have a suspension of disbelief.
@@buffmon1038 anime fault, manga pretty much explains every thing, still a solid adaptation tho
I don't want to be rude to trash taste as I can tell that they are obviously misinformed on the UFC so hope I can clarify some of the comments. For one, the whole fact that MMA is more gruesome then boxing and less technical is actually the opposite. The level of technique that fighters have to learn in various different martial arts is much more skillful than boxing, as well as being able to mix it all up, and expose weaknesses. Secondly, when Connor says that he doesn't like to see when somebody is knocked out cold, FC and major organisations stop the fight as soon as a fighter has tapped or it is clear to see they have been knocked out, whereas in boxing, even if a fighter has been knocked down, they only get a ten second count until they are back into the fight, and as a result, there are around 14 deaths in boxing a year, whereas in MMA it's much less. Finally, about the inhaler situation, this is not an MMA thing. Inhalers are considered to be something that can boost performance in all sports, and the fighter that did it was an American Football player before that. As well as this, he did not use the inhaler in prior fights, as fighters are expected to know what they are consuming or putting into their body is approved by the governing body, which the fighter (his name is Greg Hardy) must know about, which is why Dana White wasn't happy with him. Overall, I like your guys' content but please do not make takes on stuff that has come from clips, and try and educate yourself on a topic before you bring it up. Thanks for the podcast, looking forward to next week's one
nah nmma is just 2 guys beating each other to near death and is vile
I'm so disappointed they didn't fulfill my oddly specific expectation of them chanting "we have no enemies" together
Connor not liking mma but liking john wick is the greatest enigma.
Where's a huge difference between a real fight where pro athletes beat the shit out of each other and John wick where every fight scene is directed and no one gets hurt
For all the shit Garnt gave Connor for skipping cutscenes in video games, he sure has the nerve to skip an ENTIRE MOVIE in a 4 movie quadrilogy.
Not just that he skipped the best movie of the quadrillogy by FAR.. and im not saying 1,2 and 4 are not great movies but 3 had Halle Barry, John beating the shit out of guys with axes and breaking necks with books..

The romance reality show drama in oshi no ko was not rushed in the anime
The anime did a perfect adaptation of 3 chapters per episode and that episode, episode 6 where akane gets cancelled was one of the best episodes in the show
Also aqua literally said mem told him that akane had went out during the typhoon so he went looking for her, and so did the other members of the cast after that. Connor needs to pay attention to dialog
I mean isn't it painfully obvious to search for someone when they are not responding to msgs and are at the most vulnerable stage of their life ?
It was a tiny bit rushed.
Garnt has literally just explained how every person with ADHD feels when they are chatting and flowing then all of a sudden the whole mood changes when the focus is on a board game or like MTG
Is it even ADHD related? I'm like this every time and now I see more and more signs to check myself on ADHD, or autism even

I'm like this too, but I just appreciate sociacialising by itself and playing games when we planned for it. When I'm chilling and half the crew goes to play a game with pre-made jokes, I roll my eyes.
It's most definitely not exclusive to people with ADHD. I'd say a good portion of younger people feel this way these days.

I enjoy it a lot because although I can "decently" draw, I wouldn't call myself good. Character creation, modeling a room, or player cards don't require physical skill. All the options are there for you and you can pick and choose the combinations / locations.
It satisfies me creatively.

Vinland Saga hit different this season, and I was on board for it.
Hearing Connor about his experience with Final Fantasy 8 menu's, someone get that man started on a Disgaea game, i think he'll go insane.
I like jrpgs and disagaea made me go insane lol
Garn has a superior sense of humour that he can't handle other people's bad jokes
His take on the game just shows that he's the unfunniest in a group
This man has used the word “vibe” every chance he has gotten since it started being trendy, his opinion is IRRELEVANT
@@HUMANSALAd666The man was a monk for a while, he only uses the word vibe so people understand what he's talking about. The energy of the room does indeed shift when everyone all of a sudden focuses on a comedy simulator.
@@balabanasiretiedgy jokes aren't his thing so you cant really call him unfunny
@@HUMANSALAd666 when did vibe become trendy??? it has been here for years now
1:08:30 Connor's take is misinformed. In the UFC, if you get KO-ed even once or if the judge thinks the fight is one-sided, the fight is stopped. Boxing is actually *more* dangerous than the UFC and more instances of fighters with brain damage happen there. Besides, fights in the UFC can also be finished by submissions (aka putting your opponent on a lock), which means some fights don't even end on a knock out.
Connor: "Donnie Yen fights Bruce Lee" 🤣- 1:12:12
garnt not appreciating clique driven insider humor during quiplash is my spirit animal
Never more so has the title of this podcast been so accurate, opinion is opinion but then there is trash taste, love these lads.
1:08:30 the referees can stop the fight if they think they have seen enough, even in the UFC. Its called a TKO.
And ultimately end up in the with less damage than boxing.
It honestly sounds like they've watched clips from the older era of the UFC. I wouldn't blame them for those opinions if that's their frame of reference. Refs tend to stop it a lot earlier now.
Also the main reasons why I watch it are:
A. The technique and learning from the best
B. The fighters and their stories
C. It's just more entertaining to watch than boxing
Joey: I haven't had time to watch anime
Also Joey: I just spent two hours playing Minesweeper
1:37:27 No, he was not stalking her. He went looking for her because another contestant told him that she went out in a typhoon and still didn't come home. Reading/Watching comprehension, Connor.
Honestly his take was really bad this time I'm not going to go over what u have already explained cause u explained it perfectly but when they were talking about aqua I felt like they were purposely ignoring aspects of his character for whatever reason cause he may not have as much depth as many other characters in anime but when u look at the environment that he was grown up in it makes sense especially when his character gets more depth in the manga (side note u can dislike him that's fine I just think they are hating him to just hate him). One other thing that Connor said that I disagree with he said he was a doctor so how does he know all this skill simple if ur determined enough 10 years of a festering revenge can benefit u in a lot of ways not to mention he had 20 or 30 years in his last life and he got a reset and currently has 16 more years on top of it it makes sense why he's skilled.
Next Trash Taste after dark. “We force Garnt to play Cards Against Humanity with penalties!”
Kokou no hito (the climber) is indeed a master piece, it is beautiful to read, and there are moments where i cried like a child reading it.
I sometimes don't understand who lacks more media literacy Garnt or Connor. Connor legitimately didn't pay attention to anything that happened in Oshi No Ko and I'm so mad Garnt didn't correct him like brother they literally tell you what's going on with Akane and Aqua
Honestly I feel Gigguk does this a lot with them. I can’t tell if he just doesn’t care to correct their bad anime takes or maybe he just forgets the details in the moment. It gets especially confusing when it is regarding a show he likes.
@@Mellow_Yellow13 i think he honestly forgets when he is talking, i mean if it was me i would probably wouldnt remember the details
@@Mellow_Yellow13 I feel like with the amount of anime he watches on 1.5x speed, it's really easy to forget so many things about an anime let alone a single scene.
Ah, yes, "media literacy" or "looking at media through my own biases"
@@AruminDes it is obviously a real possibility but given how much he likes the show and the fact he watched it recently, I find it questionable. It’d be different if he forgot a plot detail from his 25th favorite show of this from like January. But you maybe right.
Oh man, I have not watched a Trash Taste episode in a long time. And this was so fun and chill to hear and watch! I'm definitely getting back into this again! I love you three and all the fun you guys have together! It really is fun!
Garnt: “I like when Keanu Reeves said he’s John Wick and John Wick’s everywhere.”
Garnts John wick 4 take had me sitting in my chair in disbelief
RIGHT?
Nah, it's a dumb action film that goes on too long
I did the same as Garnt, skipped the 3rd and watched the 4th. Some great to good cinematography and combat, but the acting, plot, and for some reason the color balance was dog shit.
@@martin162asdSome of my friends or people online say that it's a dumb action film and that I'm taking it too seriously, but then why is John Wick 4 so long and has so many scenes where it pretends to have deep and good dialogue?
This is probably a hot take for people that watched JW3 but I prefer that film to 4 because it was short and knew that it was a dumb action film
@@balabanasiretiI love the dichotomy of people going “it’s just a dumb action movie why does it matter?” but then they lose it whenever you slightly criticize it, like the movie is part of their identity or something
I am so glad Garnt read and talked about The Climber. It's so underpopular and really desetves more love. Even better is that the chapters have newspaper articles of actual events regarding rock climbing irl. The only other manga I can think of that does something similar is "Holyland".
Garnt: "It needs to make sense within the logic of its own world. If something doesn't make sense within the logic of its own world... It's just like a pin pricking my brain where i just like, I can't ignore it."
Also Garnt: *loves watching isekai*
He likes Honkai Star Rail. You know, the game where you can have a party full of characters that you literally have never met because you got them by chance in the gacha. And also your party is not consistent with the characters that are traveling alongside you.
Does it work like genshin or do you literally never meet some of the characters?
@@jaydenchaney4081 I don't know. Never played Genshin and I played honkai until a certain fight that everyone agrees it's really cool and I found myself feeling like the game offered me everything and from that point on I was playing just to grind. I'm sure you meet them all at some point but to me I can't feel invested when I have a part where the protagonist says goodbye to a character and the game is like "you have unlocked the character now you can use her in your party"
@@jaydenchaney4081you technically never met Blade, Luocha and Yanqing yet they're still playable
Only way to feel 'immersed' in gcha games like this is to just restrict yourself to use only characters that canonically appears in the main story you're currently, but even that needs a lot of investment and gacha hell
Conor giving a shit about story and grant not caring at all is something I'll never get over
The thing with an inhaler I disagree with 100%. If you are literally dying because of your asthma or some other medical condition, you are able to get treatment obviously, but if it'll lead to an unfair advance, even if the other fighter isn't purposefully trying to take advantage of being able to take his inhaler, it still gives him an unfair advantage.
You can make the argument that people will try to fake the need to take their inhalers for an unfair advantage, but even without that scenario happening, it would still lead to an unfair match. Conner is acting like you can't just disqualify yourself to take your medication that'll save your life. Sure, it's sad that that's how it has to be, but it's better to be disqualified than to allow people to play with an unfair advantage that would be considered cheating by 100% of people if it wasn't in the context of medicine.
Should have called the episode "Garnt against humanity"
1:09:44 Wasn't there UFC matches where people were debating whether the ref stepped in to stop the fight too early or too late? To say that they don't care about the welfare of the fighters is untrue.
It’s actually generally much better than boxing with stoppages (although there are still an annoying number of late stoppages)
I think The Climber just started to get psychical volumes in Spanish and English, so hopefully more people will know about it soon. I don't think it's too underrated I see a lot of people reading it and praise it on sites like Anilist, but usually on like a manga seinen type of circle, the problem is that manga readers usually just talk with manga reader and about the same time of series their group talks and read, not a lot of diversity on genres a lot of the times
Connor " UFC fans are too into UFC"
Yeah that's the weird obsession, not collecting anime girl figures, and a house full of Otaku merch lol.
I love how Garnt and Connor talking about John Wick’s story is the exact opposite of their takes on video game stories
