Hi Trash Taste Boys, you guys probably won't see this but I was that guy at the Airport 26:10. Very surprised you guys remembered me, but I had just landed from my flight from Canada and it was my first international trip since a long while due to taking care of my recently passed dog. It was awesome seeing you guys, it most definitely made my night. Wished we met under less stressful circumstances and hopefully we can have a photo or something next time!

I was really glad I got to chat with you guys, even though it was legit for an extremely small amount, cuz the dude who drove down from Canada hijacked me haha. Really made my trip guys, thanks :). Would love to have you guys visit here. So many good food spots and great places to visit on island. Also, I’m with Garnt on the wings debate. KFC is the best, korean fried chicken. And thighs are just superior to breast meat. As a cook I can say, there’s undeniable scientific evidence that bones actually impart flavor into the meat it’s in.

Also any good cook knows that fat is flavor, and that is yet another reason why thighs are superior to breasts. Chicken thighs are a fattier cut of meat, which means they're going to have more intense, rich flavor than their white meat counterparts. No matter the cooking preparation.

[@lrartz3643]

@@Masokitsu yes! Also helping it from drying. Breasts just dry so much quicker than any other part of the chicken. It blows my mind that people enjoy chicken breast skinless. That’s the one flimsy layer of fat for the breast and also so full of flavor.

And that's not at all bashing on Joey, it's incredibly normal for people to be a little intensive to homeless people, so Connor being a bit more understanding that its not fair for us to judge who's worth giving money too, is a compassion that's nice to have and unfortunately isn't too common.

[@FrenchDinosaur]

I mean, that could be said to all criminals as well and the point would still stand. No matter how hideous the things those people did, at the end of the day, they're still humans. I think it's perfectly normal to treat people differently according to their socioeconomic status. Whether it's right or wrong, is another convoluted topic for another day. But for now, I think it's fair game.

[@chukyuniqul]

The only people with more contempt towards homeless than ignorant middle-class people are ex-homeless. Either that or there's a lotta ignorant middle-class people who will lie about having been homeless to create this narrative of homeless people being actually unwell or unwilling to get better. Frankly while the most probable answer is "there's a lot more of those than you expect but fewer than it seems", I still think that you can at least afford them the human decency of leaving them alone unless they harrass you.

Here in Sweden we've probably come the closest to "beating" homelessness, but sadly in our last election a coalition with the most right-wing party in Sweden won the majority, and our welfare system was already being heavily restricted as is. They plan to restrict it even more, because they think it'll create less criminals. I don't get it, putting people in poverty is what leads most people to crime! It's so sad to see when the world moves backwards.

[@ludde12345678950]

I'm sorry for getting so political btw, it's just something I'm really frustrated about. It is a complex topic but I feel like a lot of Swedes aren't thinking critically or empathetically. They're angry at the increase in violent crime from immigrants, which I get, but they want to punish them for it which isn't constructive it's actually just going to make things worse for everyone. Especially for the innocent poor people who stay away from crime but need welfare support.

Connor's flood story reminded me of the one time my dad decided to build a fence in our backyard between our garden and the neighbour's garden. Now, my dad's done that before so he got the supplies and started digging holes for the support pillars, went really deep to make sure it would be fastened properly, and finished building the fence the same day. It wasn't a big project and so the same day we drove to Germany (from Denmark). As we're on the German highway, my mum gets a call. "Do you live on [our house's address]?" My mum confused as to why someone randomly calls us asking this: "Yes, who is this?" Apparently my dad, in building the fence, had destroyed an internet cable and had caused not only our house, not our neighbours, nay not even our entire neighbourhood, this man had singlehandedly caused FOUR neighbourhoods to be without internet 💀 We were getting called from the official municipal internet suppliers asking permission to go into our backyard and tear the fence down 😂

Saw the show in Nashville and it was worth every goddam penny, you guys exceeded my expectations by a mile, thank you so much for coming to the US and putting on such an entertaining show.

[@kelvynvargas539]

I was not expecting to be chanting “ RATS RATS RATS” all night when I went to see your show, but it was definitely the highlight. Great show guys, I hope your future shows are a success as well

[@placeholder2924]

I don't know if that beats Seattle chanting "DICKS DICKS DICKS"

Literally 2 mins in and already the boys are on a rant. YES this is Tash Taste.

[@winterxiii]

As a Seattle/Washington guy, it makes me happy that you enjoyed the city so much. I lowkey worried that you wouldn't be able to get the best experience of the city in such a short time, but if you viewed it so highly from just a brief visit, it's definitely even better with more prolonged stays. Easily some of the best parts are the nature around the city and in the state. And agreed with the food, the more a travel, the more I realize that I miss the diversity in the cuisine. In the West Coast especially, it seems like there is a desire for authentic tastes from different cultures, so while it might not be as good as getting something in the country itself, it's gonna be hard to beat it in America.

[@marelivelazquez592]

Connor is gonna start wearing the same 8 shirts now, I bet you we'll see them in every podcast now. Proud of our boys!!!

I am so happy to hear that you guys liked Nashville so much!! I was born and raised here, and I’m glad you enjoyed some of the great things about it! I was at the show, I got to ask a question at the Q&A and I gave you guys some fanmail! I hope you received it!

[@MainGoldDragon]

19:38 I live in Greece and have ridden A LOT of taxi rides with my mother and grandmother and we get those kind of questions a lot too and they're both SO KNOWLEDGEABLE about the streets and the paths to the locations and they always answer them perfectly. They're even like "don't go this way because there's a street market today on this spot and I'm always flabbergasted.

I find it nearly unbelievable that the 3 of them saw America as "direct" and "tell you what they think". The hardest part about socializing for me is getting anyone to talk about anything they actually know or care about, and not just the same 3 topics. Maybe it is just worse elsewhere, or maybe what Americans talk about feels more direct to foreigners.

[@NexSicarius]

Compared to basically nothing but pleasantries in Japan (until you get to know them better for quite some time/knew someone since childhood), even those same 3 topics are going to feel direct.

I live in the Detroit area and went to the Detroit show. They weren't in Detroit, they were in Royal Oak just north of Detroit which is why it seemed bougie. That being said, I'm sorry for the interaction Garnt had in our state. I'm Asian and have had those kinds of experiences but I also think I can say most people in this area are nice especially compared to the rural areas of Michigan. Thanks for at least making a stop in our area because the show was a lot of fun ❤️

Me: nice, a new episode to relax to Garnt three seconds in: "CONNOR'S GOT NEW DRIP, CONNOR'S GOT NEW DRIP"

[@irishcladdagh3]

Garnt YOU are correct....I am a Native NYker and have lived in various states on either side of the coast and there is ABSOLUTELY a huge difference between the East & West coast and between every single state....Each state is different, many states have their own accents, their own lifestyles, their own vocabulary. NO TO : POLITICS RELIGION....BUT... one thing we all have in common is that: WE LOVE TRASH TASTE!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!!

[@angelicanrd]

I know this is podcast is more in the entertainment side and jokes are fun and all but I appreciate Connor's seriousness talking about homeless people and the misconceptions on who really are the ones at fault in a systemic problem. In my country people also just ignore them :/ and not many things are done to fix the issue.

[@JacketedRock717]

Hearing Chicago in the top three cities that the boys visited and that Connor liked Chicago style hotdogs was all I needed to hear. Keep up the good work and I’m sad I didn’t get to come to a show.

The true power of American food is actually the diversity. Sure, we have lots of comfort food places that are good, but I cannot recommend ethnic places enough. Good Mexican, Chinese, etc. Places are amazing. Also, if you're on the east coast, seafood is the way to go. Find a local place that doesn't accept card, almost guaranteed to have amazing fish for a good price. (Exceptions, of course, apply)

[@Kirathian1234]

As someone from Ohio and looking over the timestamps for this episode and seeing a "Ohio" section I can only imagine what it could be about. Oh god.

[@Kirathian1234]

Okay just got past the Ohio bit and yeah.. that's about right. Honestly, describing Ohio as a CoD Zombies map is pretty much on point. Columbus is cool though. (I left Ohio as soon as I turned 18).

[@justmoody5797]

knowing that these episodes are like 2 month ago or something makes me thing I am in a time capsule every time I see one.

[@BeelzebozoTime69]

Glad that Joey liked Colorado. Come on back, we've got conventions, we've got the ski resorts and hot spring and a fairly diverse population for a landlocked state.. In Denver, the light rail system makes it easier to explore the Metro area if you don't want to chance an Uber

[@ERFMXVCC]

I appreciated hearing your conversation about the homeless in america from a non american perspective. Very cool. Thanks to all of you for not judging them, incredibly kind and wholesome of all of you. Thought Garnts story about the card reader homeless strat was gold. Thats why Daidus' "nah sorry, man" is the way to go. Its better to not make an excuse when saying no and instead just saying no in the kindest way possible is the best way to go. Thanks for the though provoking conversation.

Connors take on the homeless issue in America is SO BASED

[@orangeapples]

As an American, I will describe American Hospitality as, “glad you’re here, hope you had fun. It’s time for you to go home.” Not even an immigration thing, but a lot of parties I’ve been to get to a point where the host says, “time for y’all to go home.”
