Castles in Japan were all built within a specific time period, the Warring States period. European castles were built across a broader time frame, especially when you consider star forts as the post gunpowder castle.
There were tens of thousands of castles built before the Sengoku period. Muromachi period, Kamakura, etc, etc. Basically none of them survived because well, you know, wood lol.
Many famous castle were actually built at the start of the Edo period as well. Also the reason there are only a handfull of original castles left isn't necessarily because it was wood but because they quite literally became obsolete after a pretty peaceful Edo period leading into the meiji restauration and the abolishment of the shogunate. Himeji castle for example was just auctioned off for a ridiculously low price, I believe a couple thousand yen or sth.
Not just seige engines. European castles changed over several generations of tech - canons changed castle design, muskets changed it... Then you have the pretty castles which are more for demonstrating status than defence... And over several countries as Joey pointed out.
european castles were also remodelled/restaurated over time, like even it was originally very old, lets say from 800 it was changed and rebuilt lots of time, stuff was added and so on, changing the appearance and style according to time periods
Gymnast here, a lot of people for sure would NOT be able to backflip to their feet on the ground without training. Connor most likely has the needed leg muscles to jump high enough and the core strength to flip yourself over but I would say people who don't work out or aren't athletic would not be able to do it without proper technique and strength. And while some people are gifted, you might overestimate your spatial awareness if you haven't practiced it before 😂 that said, anyone could learn it at least on the trampoline or from a springboard in a day! Backflipping is so much fun 💪🏻
As a Nagoya native, I tell people to go there for a genuin day-to-day Japanese experience. Lots of great places to eat, the nightlife is solid with street performers, prices/bargain finds are much easier, and there are genuinely so many things to do there.

19:34 Not an expert here but I'm pretty sure European castles look different is because they were built for different styles of warfare (e.g. the introduction of gunpowder weapons got designers to add a slope on the wall) (also different countries across different time periods will obv give a different style)

I was just in Sapporo in August. From what I understand, Sapporo's tower was built one year (1957) before Tokyo Tower (1958). Same designer, who was inspired by Eiffel Tower.
Yeah, they're radio towers to send out tv and radio signals. (Tokyo Tower is not in use anymore since it's now shorter than a lot of the buildings in the city.) I thought every city had them. Why are the boys surprised here? Do they have a different system in the UK and Australia?
Most of my “dad knowledge” comes from either my dad teaching me (shutting down/ starting up a swamp cooler, patching a bike tire), learning from Boy Scouts (knots, basic tool knowledge, changing oil in a car, basic camping skills), learning from jobs (painting walls, how to operate yard work machinery/ tools) and RUclips videos (installing a sink, patching large holes in walls, changing the heating coil in a dryer, etc). I’ve never really messed with electrical wiring (too scared of somehow electrocuting myself) or full on construction stuff though but I’ve had my hand in smaller stuff like taking down a wall and patching things up, and I haven’t done much car stuff because I ride a bike everywhere.
Same. Scouting helped with camping and my dad helped me with car work in high school. Wood shop and welding in high school also afforded me invaluable knowledge. But Connor is right: if you cut out distractions in your life-I don’t play video games anymore and try to limit myself to 1-2 hours of RUclips and TV a day-you can accomplish a lot of your goals.
Sorry for your loss. Just wanted to share that I feel lucky despite losing my dad young. He at least taught me how to ride a bike and pull off Ryu’s Hadouken and Shoryureppa.
There’s a few layers to Dad knowledge. I’ve come to realize a lot of things I’ve learned from my dad is basic level stuff. In regard to cars, an oil change or tire change is super simple. You just need the tools. For house renovations it’s mostly cosmetic stuff. The second it comes to stuff that needs to meet “code” dads either do it without keeping to code or pay an actual professional. Of course if your dad has a job in said task then he knows what he’s doing but the reality is our dads kinda wing it and play it off like they knew what they were doing LOL!
Yeah. I just replaced a busted light socket by following the wires and following whatever basic electricity knowledge I had and my 4 year old holding the flash light. Kept it simple. Use electrical tape to cover exposed parts, replace the socket with the exact same one, etc. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to work
Im 34 and got my dad knowledge from working like over a dozen odd jobs over the years. I know like everything about installing an hvac system and also how to run a gas station by myself. It builds up knowledge working different stuff. You land on what makes you happy and content.
I worked as a plumber in New York State for 4 years starting as an apprentice to then being a junior technician. That’s where I learned most of my “dad knowledge”. Joining the United States Marine Corps in February so I’ll learn more stuff there
I'm the same age as American Pete. I absorbed my Dad-skillz over a long span of time, starting with living/working on the grandparents' farm during the summers, and helping out the parents in their organic home gardens; then Boy Scouts and associated volunteer projects; my Dad literally teaching me how to change a tire and change the oil/filter on my first hand-me-down car; then I practiced power-tool usage from the earlier periods when I joined theatre in high school, and we had to build our own set pieces and platforms; then I joined the military and did a lot of volunteer work including Habitat, and also a municipal non-profit that promoted childcare information and resources for new families, who needed a lot of free labor for renovating their offices while I was there; then the recession hit as soon as I left the military, and I got by for a little while doing home maintenance odd-jobs for friends and family until I got a crappy retail job... I think the answer is "environment". Not being too well-off, or too poor; and having a family that insists on self-reliance (at least the ability to be so, even if you can afford to pay someone to do everything) and has a good sense for teaching their kids (not just shutting themselves away in their garage or study to *get away* from the kids) but also has financial options like a big yard requiring effort to garden, and having both the means AND a reason to own a variety of tools to do DIY stuff. That's just not the case for the rich and the poor. I've never been so proud to have grown up ACTUALLY middle-class - as opposed to my rich friends who claimed the same thing, but only called AAA when they got a flat tire.
@@_A.t.g I mean Joey clearly had his Dad do all the work for him but then again, not sure if his dad at least tried to make him get interested with the hobbies he does. But who knows. I didn't even knew how do an oil change let alone change a tire until around college when I started driving and slowly get into cars thanks to somewhat of my brother and cousin letting me borrow his tools to mess with my car lol.
I actually have dad knowledge as a 25 year old, from my part time job I worked 8 years while studying. I was a sales assistant in a handyman shop, so I learned a bunch of things from my colleagues which were a mix of mechanics, painters, carpenters and more.
There are a surprising amount of actors who run/ran bars or snack bars, even non-retired. Awesome that Garnt got to meet Tobayama Bunmei, I'm a big fan of Japanese live-action films and he's been in a few that are great (and a lot of pink films, which isn't surprising given the time period he was most active).
RUclips taught me how to work on my car so well in fact that I often do work on my dad’s cars when he has a problem. High school wood shop and welding also afforded me “dad knowledge.”
I'm 35 and I have massive amounts of dad knowledge between helping him build our house and fix machines for his work or our own cars. So I'll share with you the secret for gaining dad knowledge put yourself in a position to do something you've never done before and screw it up several times but have it not be the end of the world. Wanna learn woodworking? Start out building something that doesn't matter out of scrap wood or pallets don't go buy a big slab of mahogany because you will do it wrong and then not be able to afford or want to do it again but if you build like 10 birdhouses out of trash the 10th one might look okay and you'll have learned along the way.
For dad knowledge in my case it's a combination of stuff my dad taught me, workshop subject in school, curiosity and youtube tutorial videos, actually needing to learn basic stuff in the house cause we can't always hire specialist and repairmen, and hanging out with old dudes even when I was a kid.
I feel like “dad knowledge” really just depends on the environment you grow up in. I’m from a small town in Canada where long drives and doing your own renovations and repairs to your house is just the way of life . At 25 I can confidently say that I’ve acquired lots of what some might consider as “dad knowledge” however put me in a larger city and I have difficulty navigating around simple areas. As people we learn from our experiences and our knowledge is just a reflection of that. “Dad knowledge” isn’t a generational thing so much as a situational thing.
The biggest thing that makes every European Castle unique, Connor just didn't explain it well enough, was that it fit the land it was built on. What does that mean? Well, imagine minecraft. When you build a house, you flatten some land, right? You don't do that for castles. You find a suitable and defensible spot, like a hill or a river crossing, and you build the castle to make full use of the geography. The design principles will remain the same, but the footprint will always look different. Looking at just the keep does not help the argument, as they also follow the "principle design", of which there are a few depending on the century. The most advanced a castle got before forts became more widespread was the Concentric Castle, a castle that has layers and layers of defenses and walls, if I remember correctly. Corfe Castle is a good example of one, I believe.
They didn't have youtube tutorials back in the day, but they did have Haynes manuals for like every car. So you'd just buy your car's manual and it tells you, with pictures and diagrams, how to fix everything. Similarly they sold like "houses in a box" from like Sears and crap which gave you all the materials and a guide to build a house. Then it was just a matter of either someone else more knowledgeable helping you out, or figuring it out yourself. I think the skill that is lost the most because we are in the era of ULTRA laziness and convenience is just basic troubleshooting.
Running shoes are often rated for 250-300 miles. They may look still intact, but support and breakdown. So If they are old or you walk or run more than 250-300 a season recommend new ones for workouts.
My 60yo dad thought he could rewire the kitchen in the house they live in. Now if you hit the wrong switch in the kitchen, the front hall lights don’t work
I got my "dad knowledge" from just having to learn from various sources including a dad. Im 22 so I can work on a car, pain a wall, fix something that is broken on surface level. And I agree with the mentality of "while you grinded those levels, I studied the blade" You can do both, but more on one side rather than the other.
I'm 27 and usually do all the stuff in or around the house. My dad didn't fix anything in the house, but when someone used to come to fix something, he made me sit next to or near the guy fixing the problem. After some time, you get the hang of some things as well. Plus, I feel that some ways of fixing things are just logical.
1:45:00 seasoned runner here. Even if you don’t use running shoes they still break down from oxidization. So even if a shoe looks brand new it won’t last as long as when it was first on the shelf…go get yourself a new pair of running shoes
As many people use the wrong size screwdriver and strip out screw heads or round over the the tip of the screw driver itself there is definitely a little more to them than just turn.
I agree with Connor that the UK castles have more variety. The Japanese castles seem to have one main building that looks similar. British castles seem to sprawl out more so have different layouts.
Since Japan is prone to earthquakes, castles were built using similar construction techniques to withstand them. Also, More than 99% of Japan's castles have not survived to the present day.
Lol his whole argument was falling apart when he said Welsh to german 😂 Even all the Welsh ones look the same, but idk about the rest of the UK to Welsh pipeline
Hear me out. Japan has the gacha of castles. Coz when a castle does stand out for a good reason it’s SS teir, most of them are like A teir. Whereas UKs differences don’t have the same effect because of how different they all are…
Comparing an amalgamation of several countries to one country is a pretty poor way to make a point. It was funny when they pulled up the pictures of Japanese castles and they varied just as much as the previous castles.
57:48 Fuji Q Highland's ride Eejanaika is worse, you go up facing backwards looking down, when it drops you're still backwards so you drop while looking at the sky, but when you're near the ground the chair rotates to set you forward + upside down and it feels like you're about to hit your head to the ground. that ride is so crazy you lose sense of balance because the chair rotates 360° vertically
22:18 My guess to why they look the same is probably because the people who built these castles are small in number and they probably found a very efficient way to make these buildings so the school of thought was not diverse or had the need to be diverse.
Brightonian (or near enough) here, you're pretty much bang on. Recent developments you've missed though is the east asian population now growing big enough to get some interesting stuff. Lotta ramen places, a One Piece themed bandai store, and a shiny new supermarket for SEA snacks. Baka Neko is still kicking around too. Churchill Square is gonna be replaced with an Ikea though. It was so empty they bought the whole damn thing.
26 y/o guy here, not a dad yet. Most of my knowledge that would qualify as “dad knowledge” I have acquired from being on a tight budget, not being able to pay a professional and having to figure things out for myself. If something breaks there’s no other option than fix it yourself
I'm 23 and I have some dad knowledge. I can fix stuff at home including electrical problems and pluming. I bet I can do more but I just don't know yet. Set up cameras and DVR will also set up TrueNAS for my mom. Can change oil and a tyre. Never aimed to learn those things it always happens incidentally or cause I don't want to pay people to do it. For example I fixed stove top of my Oven and replaced the heating element of the oven. You just take a pic of the wiring it's just a few wires its literally THAT easy.
There should be a manual with screwdrivers because some people, especially with Phillips head, will absolutely fuck up the screw heads. Torx aka Hex superiority 🙌🏼✨

Ngl Connor needs to get into drifting. He likes a rush, has money, a drivers liscense, and wants a hobby that he can enjoy and spend money on. Hes in japan, get into drifting!
20:11 Why is Conor comparing the totality of Europe to just Japan. Castles in one individual country looks the same, castles across a continent looks different. Castles in England look the same, but differ from Castles in Wales. Castles in Japan look the same but differ from castles in China. Castles look the same in countries and differ across continents…
1:25:25 - I get it by just doing things tbh. Toilet doesn’t flush well? Need to replace car tire? Want to install a new lightswitch or paint a wall? Etc? I just google it, then do it myself.
Popping 'Scottish castles' in the search engine could have probably swayed the lads on this one. I've spent over 10 years visiting them, and they are all so unique! Lots of love for castles, though, wherever they may be.
1:34:00 as soon as they started talking about food you ate as a kid but don't see anymore I was like "fish sticks". So I laughed when that was what Garnt immediately went to lol.
Just came back from my Japan trip, following the itinerary from Chris with slight modifications since I stayed a few days longer. My least favorite city was Kyoto. The amount of tourists was insane, felt somehow worst than Tokyo and it just ruined the city for me. I also disliked Hiroshima because of a similar reason. They did NOT control the capacity of the museum, you could not take your time or learn it so we just walked out. My favorite places ended up like Kanazawa, Takayama and Yokohama. The former two I got to experience the old traditional Japan streets while actually being able to breathe.
I loved Kyoto and Hiroshima but specifically the non-tourist places. I had a very long walk through Hiroshima's streets and the city is just beautiful. In Kyoto the locals were incredible if you interacted with them beyond getting services. But I agree that the museum and Fushimi Inari were stressful with the excess of tourists. I wish Tik Tok didn't funnel that much tourism to Japan only, though Im glad the locals can benefit from the revenue.
Yeah Kyoto famously gets super swamped, it’s probably the biggest overseas tourist destination for folks interested in cultural stuff so it just gets super packed
1:25:20 I kind of got my dad knowledge by living with a single mother most of my life and fixing stuff. Also fixing stuff in Uni. Gradually just got more and more tools, got a 3D printers, had to use power tools for projects, etc. The apartment is quite old and I own it, so a water connection would break, facets would break, on and on. there ye go
I have a Zundamon figure. I love her backstory ( a character created to reflect the culture of the Tohoku region of Japan after the 2011 natural disaster. She was created to fund the region and cheer up residents. She can be used commercially for local Japanese businesses and is also a vocal aid like Hatsune Miku. Her design is based on Zundo / Zundamochi. She was created alongside after the main Tohoku representative character. ❤️ 💚

Wrecked my knee doing the Simanami Kaido this April and rode my first road bike. "Accidentally" did back and forth just loved that route so much. 100% doing it again ❤
talking about selling points of the city where I came from (Indonesian btw), it has a very tasty chicken skewer called satay/sate and a traditional art called Reyog or Reog. Latest news about it was probably when Malaysian claimed that art.
In regards to dad knowledge, my father has a giant book that he's had for idk how long that has instructions on how to pretty much fix everything around a house. Toilets, lights, showers. You name it
Idk about the UK but in France we have tons of very different castle. Depending on the era they were built, how rich was their owner, was it first purpose a fortress or a manor, this make for a lot of type of castle. Also the inside of every castle can be just as interesting if not more as the outside. Most of those had inhabitants until very recently or still do to this day.
"The Hill"... Kiro San is a mountain dudes, it is over 300m high! ( and I walked all the way to the top ^^ I was here thinking an eBike would make my life a lot easier next time, lol )
My friend and I tried Shimanami Kaido several years ago, starting from around 2 pm. We read about it online that it is suitable for new starters and the people who do not exercise much. We rented regular bikes. IT IS HARD. We stopped half way and stayed in one of the islands. The soundest sleep I had my whole life. Next day we decided to give up and return the bike.😢 the view is beautiful and we decided to challenge it again when we are fully prepared, physically and men
As an architect student majoring in historical building I'm totally agreeing with Connor on the castle discussion. Its mainly because European countries were used to cultural exchange, different styles were popular in different periods (french, italian spanish etc) so even countries like Poland imported architects from other countries (for example from italy) to build their shit resulting in differences in style throughout the years. Also there is a massive division in the usage of castle, early castles were strictly defensive while later ones were often a symbol of wealth of their owners, so they tend to be decorative also making them look different (you wouldn't want our castle look the same as other's right? how would you tell others you're richer and better) . Also castles were COLORFUL, they used to paint them in HUGE variety of colors, it's just they obviopusly didn't use modern paint so they just faded away making them look like they were just all bricks/stone. On the other hand Japan for example was more isolated culturally, the only influence was China that was also isolated (mainly because they were a local superpower, there wasn't any other country near them that could culturally influence them) All of that makes their architectural style very still. The forms didnt change though hundreds of years, the only thing changed was materials. That's why if you reconstruct them using modern technology, they end up very simillar to each other. That's at least m opinion since im not an expert on japanese architecture. its just my reasoning
The stuff Garnt is worried about with the lane assist on a Toyota can be tailored to you tolerance. It's actually pretty nice. The cruise control that can adjust for cars in front of you is kind of wild because you don't realize it's doing it.
I just came back from my trip to Japan and I did the Shimanami Kaido! It was pretty amusing seeing the same places the boys saw like where Garnt fell and Joey ate ice cream lol
It’s a whole alley of the smallest bar district you will see in your life, personally I see it as a tourist grab cuz the price of that place is probably the most expensive beside a Michelin bar in shibuya. I prefer Kichijoji as the vibe there better than golden gai, the people there amaze of you as a foreigner, or euno if you really want a mixture of chinnese and japan bar life
Went to Brighton a couple of years ago, and when Garnt brought up the touristy crap that was built there, that ugly pole was the first thing that came to mind. The confirmation shortly after felt good. I did not go on that, and went to a punk bar that night. (I wish I was there for more than a day.)
As for Nanachi figure, the owner of shop tweeted "If I have 10,000 likes, then I'm gonna buy original size Nanachi", then people do that including the author of Made in Abyss, so he had no choice. Nanachi figure used to be available with like 4,000$.

Yeah. I just replaced a busted light socket by following the wires and following whatever basic electricity knowledge I had and my 4 year old holding the flash light. Kept it simple. Use electrical tape to cover exposed parts, replace the socket with the exact same one, etc. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to work
@ EXACTLY! 😂
Im 34 and got my dad knowledge from working like over a dozen odd jobs over the years. I know like everything about installing an hvac system and also how to run a gas station by myself. It builds up knowledge working different stuff. You land on what makes you happy and content.
Can't wait to send you guys my Headphones. Yall need the BASS

Hey Z 👋
I worked as a plumber in New York State for 4 years starting as an apprentice to then being a junior technician. That’s where I learned most of my “dad knowledge”. Joining the United States Marine Corps in February so I’ll learn more stuff there
35:45 I cycled up there in May this year. It added another 1.5 hours to the cycle, and was not fun at all :) great view of course
Yeah that mountain is no joke, I had to walk the whole thing up, but the view is more than worth it.
I'm the same age as American Pete. I absorbed my Dad-skillz over a long span of time, starting with living/working on the grandparents' farm during the summers, and helping out the parents in their organic home gardens; then Boy Scouts and associated volunteer projects; my Dad literally teaching me how to change a tire and change the oil/filter on my first hand-me-down car; then I practiced power-tool usage from the earlier periods when I joined theatre in high school, and we had to build our own set pieces and platforms; then I joined the military and did a lot of volunteer work including Habitat, and also a municipal non-profit that promoted childcare information and resources for new families, who needed a lot of free labor for renovating their offices while I was there; then the recession hit as soon as I left the military, and I got by for a little while doing home maintenance odd-jobs for friends and family until I got a crappy retail job...
I think the answer is "environment". Not being too well-off, or too poor; and having a family that insists on self-reliance (at least the ability to be so, even if you can afford to pay someone to do everything) and has a good sense for teaching their kids (not just shutting themselves away in their garage or study to *get away* from the kids) but also has financial options like a big yard requiring effort to garden, and having both the means AND a reason to own a variety of tools to do DIY stuff.
That's just not the case for the rich and the poor. I've never been so proud to have grown up ACTUALLY middle-class - as opposed to my rich friends who claimed the same thing, but only called AAA when they got a flat tire.
But yeah, Connor was right - RUclips has been how I learned any new skill I needed since at least 2008.
Joey not knowing how to be a dad at first min of the vid is crazy
Haha, screw driver is such a low bar I mean come on joey
You’d be surprised how many people get righty tighty lefty loosey wrong or strip a screw bc they never learned from their dad😂
@@mario98730 I personally learned the rule from remembering the clock.
I thought he was just making the point that some skills are inherent and you don't need to have anyone teach you.
@@_A.t.g I mean Joey clearly had his Dad do all the work for him but then again, not sure if his dad at least tried to make him get interested with the hobbies he does. But who knows. I didn't even knew how do an oil change let alone change a tire until around college when I started driving and slowly get into cars thanks to somewhat of my brother and cousin letting me borrow his tools to mess with my car lol.
I actually have dad knowledge as a 25 year old, from my part time job I worked 8 years while studying. I was a sales assistant in a handyman shop, so I learned a bunch of things from my colleagues which were a mix of mechanics, painters, carpenters and more.
There are a surprising amount of actors who run/ran bars or snack bars, even non-retired. Awesome that Garnt got to meet Tobayama Bunmei, I'm a big fan of Japanese live-action films and he's been in a few that are great (and a lot of pink films, which isn't surprising given the time period he was most active).
18:36 Connor says that Japanese castles are boring
5 minutes later
23:14"I am not saying Japanese castles are boring"
If Joey said this everyone would be hating on him and calling him a racist hypocrite
I am not hating on Connor,but I just found it funny
@@etherealfanlmao wut. Joey is Japanese if anything it would make more sense if it was Connor.
I will never forget the almost 40min discussion of the word "Vibe" on this podcast
RUclips taught me how to work on my car so well in fact that I often do work on my dad’s cars when he has a problem. High school wood shop and welding also afforded me “dad knowledge.”
I'm 35 and I have massive amounts of dad knowledge between helping him build our house and fix machines for his work or our own cars. So I'll share with you the secret for gaining dad knowledge put yourself in a position to do something you've never done before and screw it up several times but have it not be the end of the world. Wanna learn woodworking? Start out building something that doesn't matter out of scrap wood or pallets don't go buy a big slab of mahogany because you will do it wrong and then not be able to afford or want to do it again but if you build like 10 birdhouses out of trash the 10th one might look okay and you'll have learned along the way.
For dad knowledge in my case it's a combination of stuff my dad taught me, workshop subject in school, curiosity and youtube tutorial videos, actually needing to learn basic stuff in the house cause we can't always hire specialist and repairmen, and hanging out with old dudes even when I was a kid.
I feel like “dad knowledge” really just depends on the environment you grow up in. I’m from a small town in Canada where long drives and doing your own renovations and repairs to your house is just the way of life . At 25 I can confidently say that I’ve acquired lots of what some might consider as “dad knowledge” however put me in a larger city and I have difficulty navigating around simple areas. As people we learn from our experiences and our knowledge is just a reflection of that. “Dad knowledge” isn’t a generational thing so much as a situational thing.
i just moved to japan so im binging all their podcasts to feel included lmao this was brilliant timing!
That nagasaki holland village looks cool. Gonna add that to my list of things to visit in Japan.
The biggest thing that makes every European Castle unique, Connor just didn't explain it well enough, was that it fit the land it was built on.
What does that mean? Well, imagine minecraft. When you build a house, you flatten some land, right?
You don't do that for castles. You find a suitable and defensible spot, like a hill or a river crossing, and you build the castle to make full use of the geography. The design principles will remain the same, but the footprint will always look different.
Looking at just the keep does not help the argument, as they also follow the "principle design", of which there are a few depending on the century. The most advanced a castle got before forts became more widespread was the Concentric Castle, a castle that has layers and layers of defenses and walls, if I remember correctly.
Corfe Castle is a good example of one, I believe.
They didn't have youtube tutorials back in the day, but they did have Haynes manuals for like every car. So you'd just buy your car's manual and it tells you, with pictures and diagrams, how to fix everything. Similarly they sold like "houses in a box" from like Sears and crap which gave you all the materials and a guide to build a house. Then it was just a matter of either someone else more knowledgeable helping you out, or figuring it out yourself. I think the skill that is lost the most because we are in the era of ULTRA laziness and convenience is just basic troubleshooting.
Running shoes are often rated for 250-300 miles. They may look still intact, but support and breakdown. So If they are old or you walk or run more than 250-300 a season recommend new ones for workouts.
The dad knowledge I've acquired is that getting milk is a lifelong quest.
My 60yo dad thought he could rewire the kitchen in the house they live in. Now if you hit the wrong switch in the kitchen, the front hall lights don’t work
5:47 Still makes me jealous that Connor can just casually say he's had a conversation with Jotaro.
I got my "dad knowledge" from just having to learn from various sources including a dad. Im 22 so I can work on a car, pain a wall, fix something that is broken on surface level. And I agree with the mentality of "while you grinded those levels, I studied the blade" You can do both, but more on one side rather than the other.
I'm 27 and usually do all the stuff in or around the house. My dad didn't fix anything in the house, but when someone used to come to fix something, he made me sit next to or near the guy fixing the problem. After some time, you get the hang of some things as well. Plus, I feel that some ways of fixing things are just logical.
1:45:00 seasoned runner here. Even if you don’t use running shoes they still break down from oxidization. So even if a shoe looks brand new it won’t last as long as when it was first on the shelf…go get yourself a new pair of running shoes
Its Connors room, you dont have the watch the rest
LMAOOO
As many people use the wrong size screwdriver and strip out screw heads or round over the the tip of the screw driver itself there is definitely a little more to them than just turn.
I agree with Connor that the UK castles have more variety. The Japanese castles seem to have one main building that looks similar. British castles seem to sprawl out more so have different layouts.
Probably because Japan is more homogenous compared to all of Britain
Since Japan is prone to earthquakes, castles were built using similar construction techniques to withstand them. Also, More than 99% of Japan's castles have not survived to the present day.
Lol his whole argument was falling apart when he said Welsh to german 😂 Even all the Welsh ones look the same, but idk about the rest of the UK to Welsh pipeline
Hear me out.
Japan has the gacha of castles. Coz when a castle does stand out for a good reason it’s SS teir, most of them are like A teir. Whereas UKs differences don’t have the same effect because of how different they all are…
Comparing an amalgamation of several countries to one country is a pretty poor way to make a point. It was funny when they pulled up the pictures of Japanese castles and they varied just as much as the previous castles.
57:48 Fuji Q Highland's ride Eejanaika is worse, you go up facing backwards looking down, when it drops you're still backwards so you drop while looking at the sky, but when you're near the ground the chair rotates to set you forward + upside down and it feels like you're about to hit your head to the ground. that ride is so crazy you lose sense of balance because the chair rotates 360° vertically
22:18 My guess to why they look the same is probably because the people who built these castles are small in number and they probably found a very efficient way to make these buildings so the school of thought was not diverse or had the need to be diverse.
Brightonian (or near enough) here, you're pretty much bang on. Recent developments you've missed though is the east asian population now growing big enough to get some interesting stuff. Lotta ramen places, a One Piece themed bandai store, and a shiny new supermarket for SEA snacks. Baka Neko is still kicking around too.
Churchill Square is gonna be replaced with an Ikea though. It was so empty they bought the whole damn thing.
I have no dad knowledge, I just ask my dad for help cause he seems to know it all fr
1:25:22 RUclips is everyone's Dad, but having your own house helps with learning Dad Knowledge.
Stopping kids from saying first
first🤡
Legend
But you did write first
Go touch grass
not any better than them
That "bitch please" look Garnt is giving in the thumbnail is giving me life
26 y/o guy here, not a dad yet.
Most of my knowledge that would qualify as “dad knowledge” I have acquired from being on a tight budget, not being able to pay a professional and having to figure things out for myself. If something breaks there’s no other option than fix it yourself
I'm 23 and I have some dad knowledge. I can fix stuff at home including electrical problems and pluming. I bet I can do more but I just don't know yet. Set up cameras and DVR will also set up TrueNAS for my mom. Can change oil and a tyre. Never aimed to learn those things it always happens incidentally or cause I don't want to pay people to do it. For example I fixed stove top of my Oven and replaced the heating element of the oven. You just take a pic of the wiring it's just a few wires its literally THAT easy.
Famous last words: "I think I have the physical capability to do a backflip"
There should be a manual with screwdrivers because some people, especially with Phillips head, will absolutely fuck up the screw heads.
Torx aka Hex superiority 🙌🏼✨
I'm rly glad to have this quality fun content at the end of the week
When it comes to Dad skills, RUclips is carrying hard for us
this is the best podcasty podcast episode, i love it
liverpool resident here, we won city of culture in 2008 i remeber we had a special coin / medal thing for it, and some LCR culture awards and also we held eurovision on the royal albert dock right outside my work in 2023
As someone who drove for over 4 years I had no idea what cruise control was either
1:14:57 it's because for a lot of Asian traveling to Europe or America is much more expensive than for European traveling to Asia, so they make it for some people who didn't have expenses to go to Europe or America
One of the best moments of my year was definitely waking up randomly to a stream and suddenly Lud is walking off a cliff on the glider, GOATED stream pull
love the representation of scrub daddy, frozen pizza, potato smileys and fish fingers here
Ngl Connor needs to get into drifting. He likes a rush, has money, a drivers liscense, and wants a hobby that he can enjoy and spend money on. Hes in japan, get into drifting!
28:10 connor, making his ancestors proud.
Smile and wave connor, The peasants are showing their appreciation.
20:11 Why is Conor comparing the totality of Europe to just Japan. Castles in one individual country looks the same, castles across a continent looks different. Castles in England look the same, but differ from Castles in Wales. Castles in Japan look the same but differ from castles in China. Castles look the same in countries and differ across continents…
King of sht takes
I hope next episode, Joey talks about the Art of Murder!
The cycling special was so goated no other special comes close to me
1:25:25 - I get it by just doing things tbh.
Toilet doesn’t flush well? Need to replace car tire? Want to install a new lightswitch or paint a wall? Etc?
I just google it, then do it myself.
This podcast is the only thing I look forward to in every week
Popping 'Scottish castles' in the search engine could have probably swayed the lads on this one. I've spent over 10 years visiting them, and they are all so unique!
Lots of love for castles, though, wherever they may be.
1:34:00 as soon as they started talking about food you ate as a kid but don't see anymore I was like "fish sticks". So I laughed when that was what Garnt immediately went to lol.
Just came back from my Japan trip, following the itinerary from Chris with slight modifications since I stayed a few days longer.
My least favorite city was Kyoto. The amount of tourists was insane, felt somehow worst than Tokyo and it just ruined the city for me.
I also disliked Hiroshima because of a similar reason. They did NOT control the capacity of the museum, you could not take your time or learn it so we just walked out.
My favorite places ended up like Kanazawa, Takayama and Yokohama. The former two I got to experience the old traditional Japan streets while actually being able to breathe.
I loved Kyoto and Hiroshima but specifically the non-tourist places.
I had a very long walk through Hiroshima's streets and the city is just beautiful. In Kyoto the locals were incredible if you interacted with them beyond getting services.
But I agree that the museum and Fushimi Inari were stressful with the excess of tourists. I wish Tik Tok didn't funnel that much tourism to Japan only, though Im glad the locals can benefit from the revenue.
Yeah Kyoto famously gets super swamped, it’s probably the biggest overseas tourist destination for folks interested in cultural stuff so it just gets super packed
1:25:20
I kind of got my dad knowledge by living with a single mother most of my life and fixing stuff. Also fixing stuff in Uni.
Gradually just got more and more tools, got a 3D printers, had to use power tools for projects, etc.
The apartment is quite old and I own it, so a water connection would break, facets would break, on and on.
there ye go
I have a Zundamon figure. I love her backstory ( a character created to reflect the culture of the Tohoku region of Japan after the 2011 natural disaster. She was created to fund the region and cheer up residents. She can be used commercially for local Japanese businesses and is also a vocal aid like Hatsune Miku. Her design is based on Zundo / Zundamochi. She was created alongside after the main Tohoku representative character. ❤️ 💚
0:27 Its just instincts init. I personally feel that if you have seen someone else do it once as a baby you learn from them without realising it
4:50 Who else remembers Joey and Soul's Collab visit to Chichibu 😂 man I feel old now 😂
Wrecked my knee doing the Simanami Kaido this April and rode my first road bike. "Accidentally" did back and forth just loved that route so much. 100% doing it again ❤
talking about selling points of the city where I came from (Indonesian btw), it has a very tasty chicken skewer called satay/sate and a traditional art called Reyog or Reog. Latest news about it was probably when Malaysian claimed that art.
Very Indonesia of you sir, calling everything is indonesian.
In regards to dad knowledge, my father has a giant book that he's had for idk how long that has instructions on how to pretty much fix everything around a house. Toilets, lights, showers. You name it
The 7/11 shirt is so funny 😂
Idk about the UK but in France we have tons of very different castle. Depending on the era they were built, how rich was their owner, was it first purpose a fortress or a manor, this make for a lot of type of castle.
Also the inside of every castle can be just as interesting if not more as the outside. Most of those had inhabitants until very recently or still do to this day.
"The Hill"... Kiro San is a mountain dudes, it is over 300m high! ( and I walked all the way to the top ^^ I was here thinking an eBike would make my life a lot easier next time, lol )
I'm with Joey I'm deathly afraid of sheer drops and rollercoasters but I love mountain climbing,hiking, that kind of stuff.
Finally a good topic cozy episode
Honestly, I just want to see a Trash Taste parents special one day. No idea what it would be like but just the idea sounds amazing.
My friend and I tried Shimanami Kaido several years ago, starting from around 2 pm. We read about it online that it is suitable for new starters and the people who do not exercise much. We rented regular bikes. IT IS HARD. We stopped half way and stayed in one of the islands. The soundest sleep I had my whole life. Next day we decided to give up and return the bike.😢 the view is beautiful and we decided to challenge it again when we are fully prepared, physically and men
Now I’m waiting for the castles quiz with those guys😂😂😂
As an architect student majoring in historical building I'm totally agreeing with Connor on the castle discussion. Its mainly because European countries were used to cultural exchange, different styles were popular in different periods (french, italian spanish etc) so even countries like Poland imported architects from other countries (for example from italy) to build their shit resulting in differences in style throughout the years. Also there is a massive division in the usage of castle, early castles were strictly defensive while later ones were often a symbol of wealth of their owners, so they tend to be decorative also making them look different (you wouldn't want our castle look the same as other's right? how would you tell others you're richer and better) . Also castles were COLORFUL, they used to paint them in HUGE variety of colors, it's just they obviopusly didn't use modern paint so they just faded away making them look like they were just all bricks/stone.
On the other hand Japan for example was more isolated culturally, the only influence was China that was also isolated (mainly because they were a local superpower, there wasn't any other country near them that could culturally influence them) All of that makes their architectural style very still. The forms didnt change though hundreds of years, the only thing changed was materials. That's why if you reconstruct them using modern technology, they end up very simillar to each other. That's at least m opinion since im not an expert on japanese architecture. its just my reasoning
The stuff Garnt is worried about with the lane assist on a Toyota can be tailored to you tolerance. It's actually pretty nice. The cruise control that can adjust for cars in front of you is kind of wild because you don't realize it's doing it.
I'm learning my dad stuff at this moment, as I just bought a 100 year-old house I'm renovating without prior knowledge. Works like a charm! (I'm 28)
Zunda Mochi is Gojo’s favourite dessert
Connor: cuz you would, uh hate to have me die...
Joey/Garnt: (instantly) well obviously.
If this isnt just the vibe of their bond in general...
I just came back from my trip to Japan and I did the Shimanami Kaido! It was pretty amusing seeing the same places the boys saw like where Garnt fell and Joey ate ice cream lol
every time... every time i thought they were talking about a single bar called Golden Guy
It’s a whole alley of the smallest bar district you will see in your life, personally I see it as a tourist grab cuz the price of that place is probably the most expensive beside a Michelin bar in shibuya. I prefer Kichijoji as the vibe there better than golden gai, the people there amaze of you as a foreigner, or euno if you really want a mixture of chinnese and japan bar life
Hi Son,
I taught you how to change your oil back in 2010.
Love Dad
Went to Brighton a couple of years ago, and when Garnt brought up the touristy crap that was built there, that ugly pole was the first thing that came to mind. The confirmation shortly after felt good. I did not go on that, and went to a punk bar that night. (I wish I was there for more than a day.)
