Garnt, along with CdawgVA and Joey, The Anime Man, hosts the Trash Taste Podcast. Trash Taste Podcast is a podcast based around anime, and Otaku culture framed through the lens of foreigners living and working in Japan. Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most popular MMOs in Japan and is notoriously popular among anime fans.
While Garnt has fallen for the game’s charms, his co-hosts aren’t so swayed. Joey The Anime Man replied to Garnt’sTweet, asking, “Is this what it feels like to be a disappointed parent?”
