I know some of us aren't too keen on the Trash Taste crew (ie. Cannur, Grant, Aussieman) but they've got some takes on Coco's grad, Hololive's future, Vtubing, some talk about Niji etc etc. Vid should start at when they start talking about it but if it doesn't work, timestamp is 1:01:19 and the vid has chapters so you can skip around
They really seem to avoid mentioning Mori when ever talking about Hololive.
There is also this clip of Connor saying recently on his stream that they haven't even considered getting her back.
I am gonna assume that Cover is blocking her from ever coming back.

Well maybe but they still allow Garnt to mentor her in Shadowverse and allow Ollie to do one of her weird escapades with all kinds of random streamers. It all depends on context.
Given that they need to preemptively state that they don't like 'Idol Culture' when talking about Hololive, and dunking on relationship paradigms that exist between viewer and streamer, it's probably best for them and future business relations that they don't talk about members - especially Calli - directly, as saying things like 'Well idols are X but Calli isn't like that and we love her' or 'Calli does things differently' may create a sense of Othering that she and the company don't want. And we know for a fact that TT isn't exactly professional when it comes to expressing opinions.
On top of that, these guys are much closer to members of VSHOJO, so I imagine if they're going to talk about V-Tubers at all it wouldn't be Calli anyway.
That said, I'm not sure why anyone listens to them on the subject. Even in the stream posted, they go off talking about 'How do you manage a company with too many members?', 'How do you go about supporting the ones with less views?', 'I can't imagine a company ever firing V-Tubers because they aren't pulling their weight' as if Nijisanji - the other superpower in the industry - haven't done all these. Their knowledge is not at all well-informed and they still go off spouting absolute garbage. They said literally nothing of any merit in that segment.
I feel like you all are really overcomplicating things here. So far, the only returning guest was Chris Broad, If the question was about Nano/Reina/Noriyaro/any other guest the answer would be the same: "huh, we haven't actually considered it".
Feel like I should throw my 2 cents in this as quite an avid watcher of TT and their main channels now.
- As
@Just a Basic Plebian said, their show is literally called "Trash Taste" and they have stated multiple times throughout the 50+ episodes they have done now that never take any of their opinions seriously and anything they say don't take to heart. It literally 3 guys just chatting shit for 2 hours with the occasional guest every now and again. They don't even remember what they say after each episode, anything they say on the show is just to spark up some discussion to keep the conversation going.
- The points Conor brought us are somewhat valid points though, they may not be entirely relevant to Nijisanji, as that a whole new ballgame in itself. But bring it back to them being Hololive related, even in the "Coco with YAGOO interview" She even asked him "What is the limit of holomems?" and even YAGOO himself was not sure what to answer, because what is the limit? No one really knows. Does he stop at EN Gen2 and keep it at what we got? or does he make more Gens? Where does the line truly stop.
- Regarding not considering Cali back to have another episode, Like
@horseshoelace said, the only re-occurring guest is Chris because he just one of their best mates and at this point he is like the 4th member of TT. Conor probably would of said the exact same response if anyone mentioned any other past guest. Only reason we always hear about Cali is because she was the biggest guest they have ever gotten and people in the vtuber scene want
MORE content, so they keep asking them about it. You don't see people always saying "Oh when is Noriyaro coming back on now".
- I'm also a big believer that Karen is actually good friends with most the TT crew and rather just hang out with them personally from time to time rather than the only interaction they can have with her is through Hololive and her being Cali now. I believe that is why they don't tend to mention Cali that much when regarding anything Hololive. You can even see it when Garnt did the Shadow verse thing with Cali, when we was having that whole "Oh Cali don't like collabing with her EN gen".
Smol rant over, don't do big long texts like this as it not my thing, back to scheduling posting anime girls.
