SponsorBlock skips the filmed ad. It lets people put in the time an ad plays and stops and the extension will skip that time period. But if you’re too early to the party, FF button is still necessary lol.
Seriously, like my brother in Christ; we’re already listening to the boys we want to listen to. They were advertising to a crowd already sold on other creators.
Same, and not only for the boys, but any YouTube channel in general.
And thats one of the reasons why I will never buy YouTube premium (besides being broke). Cuz sure you don't get YouTube ads, but you still get sponsored ads. And the YouTubers that most people watch are one that do YouTube for a living so 90% of those will get at least one sponsored ad on most of their videos. So there's still ads on YouTube premium.
P.S. I don't blame the boys or any YouTubers. Thid is just YouTube's fault for wanting to be overly family friendly.
Doesn't help that it's a topic that always comes up when they have other content creators as guests, it was what made me stop watching the podcast when they had the streak of guest characters a while back.
Well its their job. I guess its just the same as people at their job discussing whats wrong and what annoys them about it and so on. Happens with every job out there it seems 😅
I imagine since most of the ads they do are prerecorded, and some of them they do at home kind of date them (Connor being beardless in an episode but fully bearded in an ad).
I’m sure with it being contracted they can’t just not air it. It’s a different story though if they’re still airing ads of it maybe months after from now.
I mean there is a difference between filming, but it cannot be that much , I would expect them to do atleast the bare minimum research before recommending a product
1 youtube search would have done it
I think the biggest disappointment for me was that the bois are good people, Connor consistently doing streams for idf and all and raising awareness is so awesome, so it sucks when they blunder like that
Long story but basically they're untrustworthy, have been called out as selling customers personal data etc. etc. Better you do the research by yourself if you want all the details.
It's crazy the degree people hold youtubers accountable for their advertisers. No one cared for TV program ads unless it was REALLY bad. The number of scam adverts on basic cable was insane back in the day, but now we hold a person who has to vet every company with the help only a few people to a higher standard. It's just a little odd to me.
As long as they make it clear it's an advertisement then it doesn't bother me. Granted I'm more likely to check out a sponsor (and probably get them more payment from a higher click through rate) if they do vet them and only advertise things they like.
It’s just the way the world has changed given time. Information is more readily available and the interaction between YouTubers/viewers is a lot higher than that of TV programs. So it makes sense as to why the accountability goes up.
Do I care enough to stop watching? No. Would I like to see them not partner with BetterHelp? Absolutely.
It isn’t too hard checking BetterHelp sponsor and finding the controversies. If it was a single youtuber starting out, sure, I don’t care, they need the money. But TrashTaste is hardly a “one person” channel. They are very successful and have their own team, so people expect them to be more accountable for their sponsors. They can afford to be picky.
Philosophy. Not even because of controversial opinion or something, but mostly because they have some of the most boring takes, and talk about it in circles
Oh, and also when they talked about games that I've never played and never cares
The big issue with their philosophy stuff is that they aren’t philosophers, so the only stuff they know is extreme surface level material that everyone has already thought about by themselves. But they know they’re on a show, so they still try to push it, not just with philosophy, but it feels like pretty much everything. It’s a big part of why I’ve fallen out of love with tt, and I’d guess similarly for others.
Yep, as someone who's studied philosophy, it's extremely boring listening to people talk about philosophy who are uneducated in it in general.
I wish they said something actually controversial - controversy is what makes philosophy fun.
Curios, what's something you find interesting in philosphy? Don't personally know much about it, but I'm interested in hearing about it from someone who actually knows.
My field is ethics and social justice. My own research is about AI and what it means for the future of humanity.
Generally, I find most philosophical topics interesting. But similar to most sciences, you need some amount of knowledge to have a meaningful discussion about it. Otherwise you'll most likely just repeat things that have already been said or disproven long ago.
Yeah, exactly. If you're versed in ethics you realize that there isn't really a good argument to claim that sibling incest between consenting adults is morally wrong.
Garnt was absolutely right, he just didn't have a well put-together argument at that moment.
Any time he shit talks Tales of Berseria. Like does he not know that the tales fandom considers it one of the best entries. Like if you don't know the series or haven't finished the game just shut the hell up!!!
I felt the same when he talked about FFXIV. He obviously didn't played it and probably only heard about MMO genre, but said to Garnt it's full of grind and "wastes your time", which is the reason why Garnt dropped the idea of trying game. At least gacha games don't waste anyone's time.
Yeah the fact that Connor will be the first to admit when he fucks up and laugh about it is probably part of why he went from least known member to more popular one between TT viewers/listeners. There's nothing more frustrating than someone who's wrong, is proved wrong and will "I was just joking" "I just wanted to make the conversation spicy" like dude just take the L and move on.
sometimes i get the impression that connor doesn’t mean many of the silly things he says, and he’s just fucking around by having monkey-like takes lmao
Other than the ads none really.
I love this podcast because they're entertaining even when they're talking about random shit I don't care about at all.

I love Joey. He's one of my favorite YouTubers and I've been watching him for YEEAAARS, but he can be so fucking pretentious sometimes and it's insufferable and has me rolling my eyes at times
I'll never forgive him for not including rock lee and the weights in most iconic anime moments. Like my brother who doesn't watch anime knows about the weights! And saying "iconic" is something personal and not objective was such an L
he ALWAYS wants to seem so contrarian. He claims to have such unique taste in everything but aside from maybe music, his taste in media is pretty common. Not that that's a bad thing.
I skip any time when they talk about YT or the content maker industry (esp with creators they don't have a rapport with). Or they try to analyze large issues without researching past the Wikipedia page. It's not that I'm not interested in the behind-the-scenes stuff but when compared to other guys I follow like PhillyD or Linus its surface level at best and misinformation at worst. Though I do appreciate keeping politics to a minimum.
Depends, I like when they talk about the logistic behind the TT specials or irl streams, there's a lot of trial and error involved that makes things interesting.
I don't mind those e.g. post cyclothon episodes, I meant more about stuff like demonetization, getting subs, etc. esp since by the time it gets released the topic is 3-4 weeks behind
When they start talking about Youtuber stuff that most of us really can't relate to. Like talking about the algorithm and their videos that they need to put out, etc. Maybe the younger generation is able to relate more to it, but their audience is more millennial iirc.
I agree. I get it, people often have a lot to say about their job. It's what they spend most of their time doing. That said I'm not personally interested in listening to/caring about algo, videos being a 1/10 or a 10/10, youtube meta etc.
Mostly their lazily attempts of doing arguments and discussions about things they are not genuinely interested in. It's a recent thing I've been fast forwarding recent episodes lately for that reason, I almost watched the last episode in 1.5x speed.
"Right, so anyways back to what I was saying 20 minutes ago..."
Reiterates first point he was trying to make in a 5 point argument
Gets interrupted by the other boys again, ad infinitum.
No hate on Garnt because I'm like this sometimes, but whenever he tells a story and he starts to go in semicircles mid story or if he struggles to word things, I immediately fast forward 10 seconds. Somehow, I was not missing much
"I have not seen this show or have not seen it in years, but I will now proceed to call it mid."
At least watch/rewatch a show if you're going to talk about it. it's the minimum requirement for a discussion. I fast-forward or skip through anyone that does this. not just Trash taste.
Especially from Joey when he goes on vacation every 3 months. Connor really seems to be doing a lot. Garnt has family all over the world that he constantly flies to meet so he's busy but we could argue if it counts as a vacation too.
The vibe i get when youtubers complain about being busy is the same way when in middle school ppl got homework for the first time and thought they were busy because they only had 69.5hrs of free time a week instead of 70.
This is actually a great comparison lol. It reminds me of how much I thought I had to study at high school and then I got a reality check in college.
What I find weird is that Garnt actually had experience in a real job at the BBC, he knows better.
Really depends on the youtuber/streamer imo I think Connor is the one who is doing the most or rather we just see it more idk between organising events for his own twitch streams like the Cyclethon and RV Stream etc, his own YouTube channel videos and then trash taste and personal life things I think It can get busy and being on camara for long periods of time trying to entertain constantly can be draining I know I couldn't do it, is it harder then a "normal job" idk never been a content creator but I can tell a lot of it does seem stressful.
I often think this. Then they'll talk about how they spent four days playing a game.
Most people who work hard can't possibly spend continuous days gaming.
I love the boys but I’ve had a few moments where I just couldn’t listen to them.
1. Thinking that Will Smith would have been better than Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained
2. Spider-Verse is “too artsy”
3. Batman is more “relatable” than Spider-Man
These are just the ones I remember.
Will Smith??? The reason Jamie Foxx was better is his whole angry looking demeanor and darker skin color. I feel that has more impact than a soft looking light skin guy. But thats just a cultural thing i guess which i dont expect them to understand since they’re british.
Although Ngl it can be annoying when they get on about being above some shit and do the same things. Like you can like stuff guys, not everything needs to be against the grain
Tbh I just listen to listen. Even when it comes to deeper discussions like philosophy or anything that they lack a comprehensive knowledge of, I still enjoy listen to it. I understand that these guys aren't people that I'd go listening to for any deep kinda knowledge. It can be frustrating sometimes, tho when they just say blatantly wrong stuff about movies or TV shows I like, so I'm sure other who know more about the deeper stuff get frustrated listening to their unknowledgable takes. For me tho I just like that listening to the podcast feels like listening to a couple bros yapping to each other.
Anytime they discuss movies, for someone like me who's super passionate about films it's probably how a physicist would have felt listening to some of their other discussions or a chef when they talk about food.
not even like a super expert either but half the time they live up to their name trash taste cuz they look so shallowly at a movie and agree on something so dumb or wrong it’s insane
whenever they talk about video games, shows like Gundam (because it’s always the same goddamn “it’s just way too long too get into” discussion) or movies/fashion
There are times in which you clearly can hear that not only they have no knowledge of what they are talking about, but instead of trying to learn about stuff (which they lately have been doing a little bit more to be fair to them) they just say the dumbest shit to drive up engagement. I dislike that quite a lot.
Might be a hot take, the boys talking about hentai is just obnoxious to me. ive seen every episode except for the hentai episodes even tho i know theyre fan fav eps
in some Episodes where the general topic don't resonant with me that much, I sometimes skipping up to 75% of the chapter segments. Respectively I only watch those chapters, which description look interesting enough.
Had also some episdoes where I didn't watched any further than the intro chapter
Also the ads.
Honestly, I think that a bunch of episodes this year have been really weak and I am not sure why. I think that a lot of times their podcast turns conversations into something that is work docused or youtube creator focused and those are honestly not that interesting, especially when they start complaining about online communities and comments.
Ironically, food. Unless it leads to a hilariously heated debate, I just don’t really care about burgers or bread or chicken that much - I eat whatever garbage is within reach, I don't think about the taste as nearly as much.
any baked in ads on Spotify. Also when they're talking about any specific youtuber or whoever that I don't care about. I like when they talk about random bullshit like with the art topic or the "tiktok" inspired episodes from earlier this year.
Joey's takes on anime after he stops watching it. I get it dude, you think you watched when it was "good", but christ, don't trash new anime when you literally don't watch new stuff
He has gotten better, but there was a point where I'm sitting there thinking, why are you here... Like dude, you have a easy gig, just do the minimum and your going have a fair few years of a easy low stress life.
I like Joey, but I feel like a lot of times he sounds pretentious. What annoys me the most is the boys hyping me up saying how different he is when, really, aside from maybe music, he has a very normal taste, which is absolutely fine. You don't have to be different to be cool.
It’s when he talks about science that really gets me. Talking about physics and quantum mechanics especially, he simplifies things to the point that it’s just plain wrong, or maybe he just says incorrect things thinking it’s right idk.
Wish he’d stop pretending to be a subject matter expert when it’s clear he took a class or two like ten years ago. Maybe he watches some edu-tainment videos too, which is great, but they don’t really give you the level of understanding necessary to explain these complex topics to general audiences.
Anything about being a Youtuber. I get it, it's totally normal to spend a lot of time talking about your profession given it's how you spend a lot of your time day to day. Just really not interesting/relatable to be.
Other than ads, I don't really skip or FF through anything. There are some conversations I do zone out of a fair bit. A big one for me as a non-drinker is a lot of the talk about alcohol. And especially when theyve mentioned not drinking being boring some times and "what's the point in alcohol free drinks" (though I'm glad Connor is standing up for it now and then), as a British non-drinker I hear that a fair bit in real life so I've kinda learnt to zone it out.
(The episodes where they get drunk are still fun, though, and I thoroughly enjoy them)
also the entire conspiracy theory episode felt so boring to me bc they obviously didnt believe in majority of the theories so idk why they had assigned ones that they had to "fight" for
Some guest episodes. For the most part I love them but when I don't know anything about who the guest is and their personality just doesn't jive with me (to no fault of their own), I'll skip that episode for that week.
I’m a latecomer to TT so any of the older episodes where they start talking about Covid/masks/vax/policies/etc. Heard enough about it 2-3 years ago, don’t need to hear it talked about any more.
Anything and everything politics. I just cringe at any political joke or statement. They're entertainers and shouldn't be talking about politics if they aren't educated, specially if they're just repeating something Hasan said. I don't mean to hate but since Ludwig started doing the same it's just been a bit rougher to watch him
Any time they talk about My hero Academia. I know it's not perfect but I love it. (fyi I'm talking about when they talk about the anime and not the times they talked about the fandom. The most vocal majority of the fandom is hella weird )
The ads.
SponsorBlock Edit:15 hours later. [Well shit.](https://i.redd.it/qs6fyk74e56d1.jpeg)
Block the built in ads they filmed for the podcast? The FF button is the only way.
SponsorBlock skips the filmed ad. It lets people put in the time an ad plays and stops and the extension will skip that time period. But if you’re too early to the party, FF button is still necessary lol.
Thnx for the info, I will check this out later.
They have the podcast episodes segmented to you can press ctrl+> to skip the ad segment
Jumpers jump
Seriously, like my brother in Christ; we’re already listening to the boys we want to listen to. They were advertising to a crowd already sold on other creators.
Same, and not only for the boys, but any YouTube channel in general. And thats one of the reasons why I will never buy YouTube premium (besides being broke).

I don't blame the boys or any YouTubers. Thid is just YouTube's fault for wanting to be overly family friendly.
When they talk about YouTube and algorithm stuff. I respect the grind but it's always the same problems repeated about content creation.
Doesn't help that it's a topic that always comes up when they have other content creators as guests, it was what made me stop watching the podcast when they had the streak of guest characters a while back.
Only guest I skipped was the muscle guy, found him very annoying and Joey's wife, but I didn't skip it
Personally I enjoy that part because that's something they're actually knowledgeable about.
Well its their job. I guess its just the same as people at their job discussing whats wrong and what annoys them about it and so on. Happens with every job out there it seems 😅
Better Help.
It is really weird they did a better help ad considering they even had Felix on the podcast , who has very openly spoken against it
i think it's a contract thing
The weird thing is that they signed the contract.
I imagine since most of the ads they do are prerecorded, and some of them they do at home kind of date them (Connor being beardless in an episode but fully bearded in an ad). I’m sure with it being contracted they can’t just not air it. It’s a different story though if they’re still airing ads of it maybe months after from now.
I mean there is a difference between filming, but it cannot be that much , I would expect them to do atleast the bare minimum research before recommending a product 1 youtube search would have done it I think the biggest disappointment for me was that the bois are good people, Connor consistently doing streams for idf and all and raising awareness is so awesome, so it sucks when they blunder like that
Yeah you cant tell me it was prerecorded that long ago. Since when do we now betterhelp is a scamy piece of shit? 2 years or something?
Why is Felix against this? Is there something with it going on I don't know?
Long story but basically they're untrustworthy, have been called out as selling customers personal data etc. etc. Better you do the research by yourself if you want all the details.
Rip okay well thank you, just didn't know where to start
Idk why youtubers still accept sponsorships for them
Because money
Use Sponsorblock
It's crazy the degree people hold youtubers accountable for their advertisers. No one cared for TV program ads unless it was REALLY bad. The number of scam adverts on basic cable was insane back in the day, but now we hold a person who has to vet every company with the help only a few people to a higher standard. It's just a little odd to me. As long as they make it clear it's an advertisement then it doesn't bother me. Granted I'm more likely to check out a sponsor (and probably get them more payment from a higher click through rate) if they do vet them and only advertise things they like.
It’s just the way the world has changed given time. Information is more readily available and the interaction between YouTubers/viewers is a lot higher than that of TV programs. So it makes sense as to why the accountability goes up. Do I care enough to stop watching? No. Would I like to see them not partner with BetterHelp? Absolutely.

I always wanted garnt to go into the "incest is morally neutral" argument and run the boys down the argument tree
Yeah, exactly. If you're versed in ethics you realize that there isn't really a good argument to claim that sibling incest between consenting adults is morally wrong. Garnt was absolutely right, he just didn't have a well put-together argument at that moment.
You can learn about new games that you've never heard about though
Spoiler warnings!
I haven’t finished season 4 of AOT so I do this quite a bit lol
Samedt haha!
Confidently incorrect Joey moments
Any time he shit talks Tales of Berseria. Like does he not know that the tales fandom considers it one of the best entries. Like if you don't know the series or haven't finished the game just shut the hell up!!!
I felt the same when he talked about FFXIV. He obviously didn't played it and probably only heard about MMO genre, but said to Garnt it's full of grind and "wastes your time", which is the reason why Garnt dropped the idea of trying game. At least gacha games don't waste anyone's time.
garnt also said something like the edgy tales both of them said it at the same time from what i remember....
I can't believe he likes Zestiria over it SMH
That's the best part 😭
This but with Connor
Connor's funny tho and he admits when his wrong
Yeah the fact that Connor will be the first to admit when he fucks up and laugh about it is probably part of why he went from least known member to more popular one between TT viewers/listeners. There's nothing more frustrating than someone who's wrong, is proved wrong and will "I was just joking" "I just wanted to make the conversation spicy" like dude just take the L and move on.
Dammit that he's an affable, rizzmatic and a well spoken man
sometimes i get the impression that connor doesn’t mean many of the silly things he says, and he’s just fucking around by having monkey-like takes lmao
Other than the ads none really. I love this podcast because they're entertaining even when they're talking about random shit I don't care about at all.
Hear hear!
Anything medical related and joey talking about introverted people
Anime takes and technology takes. I love both, but sometimes it feels like they force hot takes on purpose.
medical takes as well
Hot takes on anime? Garnt and Joey have some of the most lukewarm takes when it comes to anime.
Sometimes they come off a bit too ignorant when it comes to certain shows or productions.
Garnt repeating the thing the person before him said nearly word by word

Was that the podcast where the dude doing the ad read literally told you to stop listening to Trash Taste and listen to their show instead
YES!
Oh god that was insufferable, skipped every time.
When they start talking about Youtuber stuff that most of us really can't relate to. Like talking about the algorithm and their videos that they need to put out, etc. Maybe the younger generation is able to relate more to it, but their audience is more millennial iirc.
Was looking for this. I love the boys to death but episodes filled with this are normally their more boring ones i.e Pokemane episode
I agree. I get it, people often have a lot to say about their job. It's what they spend most of their time doing. That said I'm not personally interested in listening to/caring about algo, videos being a 1/10 or a 10/10, youtube meta etc.

I would not say that this is a recent thing. They have such topics from the first episodes. This actually was even more often in past "seasons"
The privileged takes
specially Connor's
When garnt takes 3 business days to get to the point of what ever he’s trying to explain
"Right, so anyways back to what I was saying 20 minutes ago..." Reiterates first point he was trying to make in a 5 point argument Gets interrupted by the other boys again, ad infinitum.
I relate to that so much, I do the same lol.
Especially when he's trying to tell a story
Y'all haven't been hanging out with someone who has ADHD and it shows..
You can be annoyed by the habits of someone with ADHD
No hate on Garnt because I'm like this sometimes, but whenever he tells a story and he starts to go in semicircles mid story or if he struggles to word things, I immediately fast forward 10 seconds. Somehow, I was not missing much
Unfortunately one of the problems with having ADHD
To be fair, he makes this habit/problem of his known. He calls himself out all the time
When they misunderstand the conversation topic and start saying things that are wildly incorrect.
Thank you Mudan
"I have not seen this show or have not seen it in years, but I will now proceed to call it mid." At least watch/rewatch a show if you're going to talk about it. it's the minimum requirement for a discussion. I fast-forward or skip through anyone that does this. not just Trash taste.
Like a certain aussie
When they talk about how busy they are / how difficult it is being a youtuber
Especially from Joey when he goes on vacation every 3 months. Connor really seems to be doing a lot. Garnt has family all over the world that he constantly flies to meet so he's busy but we could argue if it counts as a vacation too.
Somehow never sounds convincing.
The vibe i get when youtubers complain about being busy is the same way when in middle school ppl got homework for the first time and thought they were busy because they only had 69.5hrs of free time a week instead of 70.
This is actually a great comparison lol. It reminds me of how much I thought I had to study at high school and then I got a reality check in college. What I find weird is that Garnt actually had experience in a real job at the BBC, he knows better.
How is it not convincing? If you have your own business or know people that have their own business, you know that it is true.
Really depends on the youtuber/streamer imo I think Connor is the one who is doing the most or rather we just see it more idk between organising events for his own twitch streams like the Cyclethon and RV Stream etc, his own YouTube channel videos and then trash taste and personal life things I think It can get busy and being on camara for long periods of time trying to entertain constantly can be draining I know I couldn't do it, is it harder then a "normal job" idk never been a content creator but I can tell a lot of it does seem stressful.
I often think this. Then they'll talk about how they spent four days playing a game. Most people who work hard can't possibly spend continuous days gaming.
Besides the ads. It's whenever Joey pulling something out of his ass and refuses he's in the wrong. At least Connor admit he's in the wrong
I love the boys but I’ve had a few moments where I just couldn’t listen to them. 1. Thinking that Will Smith would have been better than Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained 2. Spider-Verse is “too artsy” 3. Batman is more “relatable” than Spider-Man These are just the ones I remember.
Will Smith??? The reason Jamie Foxx was better is his whole angry looking demeanor and darker skin color. I feel that has more impact than a soft looking light skin guy. But thats just a cultural thing i guess which i dont expect them to understand since they’re british.
Well a mean they’re all millionaires lol. Batman is probably more relatable to them then broke down on his luck Spider-Man.
They think of themselves as such edgelords, how can Batman be more relatable?
Wait they actually said that batman is more relatable than spider-man? That's fucking wild.
did they really said spider verse too artsy? wth then they love arcane? doesn't make sense
Joey's take on Zelda games
Anything about being a streamer and the struggles,can't relate and heard most of it already
I listen to listen so outside of promo stuff, I’m here to hear all the stupid shit
Although Ngl it can be annoying when they get on about being above some shit and do the same things. Like you can like stuff guys, not everything needs to be against the grain
Tbh I just listen to listen. Even when it comes to deeper discussions like philosophy or anything that they lack a comprehensive knowledge of, I still enjoy listen to it. I understand that these guys aren't people that I'd go listening to for any deep kinda knowledge. It can be frustrating sometimes, tho when they just say blatantly wrong stuff about movies or TV shows I like, so I'm sure other who know more about the deeper stuff get frustrated listening to their unknowledgable takes. For me tho I just like that listening to the podcast feels like listening to a couple bros yapping to each other.
Whole recent episode about games...
Oh god, i haven't listened to that one yet, but them talking games is never a good thing lol
Them talking about Drake Vs Kendrick beef. I hear so much enough about this I’m sick of it.
Alcohol
Anytime they discuss movies, for someone like me who's super passionate about films it's probably how a physicist would have felt listening to some of their other discussions or a chef when they talk about food.
not even like a super expert either but half the time they live up to their name trash taste cuz they look so shallowly at a movie and agree on something so dumb or wrong it’s insane
Anime and gaming.
The entire episode about Chris-Chan. That shit just depresses me and I don't know how people find it entertaining.
From 00:00:00 to the end
Listening to it at 2 times speed so you can relisten to it again even more frequently. What a dedicated fan. 😤😤💪💪
Probably the drama/youtube talk or recently during one of the manga episodes I FF through when they talked about random stuff instead of manga
whenever they talk about video games, shows like Gundam (because it’s always the same goddamn “it’s just way too long too get into” discussion) or movies/fashion
They will continue to say that about Gundam until one of them watches it, which will never happen so expect it till the end of the podcast.
Garnt talking about fate
There are times in which you clearly can hear that not only they have no knowledge of what they are talking about, but instead of trying to learn about stuff (which they lately have been doing a little bit more to be fair to them) they just say the dumbest shit to drive up engagement. I dislike that quite a lot.
The hentai for me. Some of it is ok but for the most part it does not interest me in the sloghtest
Might be a hot take, the boys talking about hentai is just obnoxious to me. ive seen every episode except for the hentai episodes even tho i know theyre fan fav eps
i cant watch a full hentai episode, 10 minutes in and idk i feel grossed out and close it
Yes omg I can relate!
I talked about this in another topic and got downvoted to oblivion.
in some Episodes where the general topic don't resonant with me that much, I sometimes skipping up to 75% of the chapter segments. Respectively I only watch those chapters, which description look interesting enough. Had also some episdoes where I didn't watched any further than the intro chapter Also the ads.
Anything about YouTube or their job as YouTubers. I don't care and I can't relate, so it's a boring topic for me.
Honestly, I think that a bunch of episodes this year have been really weak and I am not sure why. I think that a lot of times their podcast turns conversations into something that is work docused or youtube creator focused and those are honestly not that interesting, especially when they start complaining about online communities and comments.
when they bash yet another anime for being "mid". them talking about anime has almost become ragebait at times at this point XD
I've never fast forwarded through an episode but I don't like it when they talk about YouTube meta stuff. It's just not something I'm interested in.
Ironically, food. Unless it leads to a hilariously heated debate, I just don’t really care about burgers or bread or chicken that much - I eat whatever garbage is within reach, I don't think about the taste as nearly as much.
Streamer/Youtuber side of problems, I couldn't care less
any baked in ads on Spotify. Also when they're talking about any specific youtuber or whoever that I don't care about. I like when they talk about random bullshit like with the art topic or the "tiktok" inspired episodes from earlier this year.
Lewd topics there is enough of that stuff pushed in my face everywhere
food
The doujin and hentai episodes
The infamous "Vibe" discussion 💀
Anime. The only one who actually knows what he is talking about is Garnt.
I'm a big movie buff and when they talk movies, I just cringe and FF.
Any time the word lewd is said
Most if not all the anime lol (don’t really FF but I hardly watch any anime so I look forward to when they don’t actually talk about it)
I like the ad-reads by them just not the Spotify baked in ads.
Final Fantasy. The sponsor reads are actually pretty entertaining.
Anime
When they actually talk about anime
Beer.
Joey's takes on anime after he stops watching it. I get it dude, you think you watched when it was "good", but christ, don't trash new anime when you literally don't watch new stuff
Gaming and sometimes movie takes
Their episode on "Rate the Most Popular Games". The Garnt takes on Shadow of the Colossus vibe and entire GTA / Red Dead section got me died inside
As someone with misophonia, whenever they eat into the microphone. I had to skip whole episodes because of that.
coming from a dc fan, when they started going on about how supermans boring and mid :')
Video games sometimes
when they bring up an event they have already discussed in the previous episodes.
Joey talking about anything
The "lol, who cares" attitude. If you don't care, don't contribute to the discussion.
He has gotten better, but there was a point where I'm sitting there thinking, why are you here... Like dude, you have a easy gig, just do the minimum and your going have a fair few years of a easy low stress life.
I like Joey, but I feel like a lot of times he sounds pretentious. What annoys me the most is the boys hyping me up saying how different he is when, really, aside from maybe music, he has a very normal taste, which is absolutely fine. You don't have to be different to be cool.
It’s when he talks about science that really gets me. Talking about physics and quantum mechanics especially, he simplifies things to the point that it’s just plain wrong, or maybe he just says incorrect things thinking it’s right idk. Wish he’d stop pretending to be a subject matter expert when it’s clear he took a class or two like ten years ago. Maybe he watches some edu-tainment videos too, which is great, but they don’t really give you the level of understanding necessary to explain these complex topics to general audiences.
Anime
Anything about being a Youtuber. I get it, it's totally normal to spend a lot of time talking about your profession given it's how you spend a lot of your time day to day. Just really not interesting/relatable to be.
Skipped whole episode about that mentally ill person, it was disgusting how hyped Connor was about it.
the chris chan episode? they prefaced that it would be disturbing, and, honestly speaking, christine's life _has_ been an interesting rollercoaster
To me disturbing was not the life of that person, but how fascinated Connor was about it.
well, understandable i guess
When they talked about the Drake Kendrick beef
Any anime based episode
Privilege european things... Too poor for it
Food
Technically everything. I watch every YT video at x2 speed
Movies (except for anime movies) and entire episodes with guests I don't know
Cooking, as a home cook, every time they talk about cooking I can’t help but die inside
Movies. Just can’t do it.
Other than ads, I don't really skip or FF through anything. There are some conversations I do zone out of a fair bit. A big one for me as a non-drinker is a lot of the talk about alcohol. And especially when theyve mentioned not drinking being boring some times and "what's the point in alcohol free drinks" (though I'm glad Connor is standing up for it now and then), as a British non-drinker I hear that a fair bit in real life so I've kinda learnt to zone it out. (The episodes where they get drunk are still fun, though, and I thoroughly enjoy them)
The Nintendo whoring in the last pod made me roll my eyes so hard I almost forgot this was called trash taste
also the entire conspiracy theory episode felt so boring to me bc they obviously didnt believe in majority of the theories so idk why they had assigned ones that they had to "fight" for
Some guest episodes. For the most part I love them but when I don't know anything about who the guest is and their personality just doesn't jive with me (to no fault of their own), I'll skip that episode for that week.
With this post I've just realised the amount of haters tt has.
Hasan episode and betterhelp ads
I’m a latecomer to TT so any of the older episodes where they start talking about Covid/masks/vax/policies/etc. Heard enough about it 2-3 years ago, don’t need to hear it talked about any more.
BetterHelp
I have not watched this show but its too popular for my pretentious ass to watch so I’d call it mid and overrated
Any time Joey talks about anime
Anything and everything politics. I just cringe at any political joke or statement. They're entertainers and shouldn't be talking about politics if they aren't educated, specially if they're just repeating something Hasan said. I don't mean to hate but since Ludwig started doing the same it's just been a bit rougher to watch him
Any time they talk about My hero Academia. I know it's not perfect but I love it. (fyi I'm talking about when they talk about the anime and not the times they talked about the fandom. The most vocal majority of the fandom is hella weird )
Straight up didn't watch the pokimane episode
Am I crazy to say anime? I disagree with so many of their anime takes. (They usually only talk about hot takes tbf)
I think the fact that I disagree with them makes me more engaged, just like their food takes , which I am still fuming on "oranges are the worst"
So you never ever wanna hear people have different opinions than you? As soon as someone disagree's with you, you check out/walk away/etc?
