Here we are, Broadcasting Live, from the center of Tokyo. Tokyo. We've got our prison uniforms on. They give us these prison uniforms because we broke the law. What was the law we broke? The law we broke was, I believe it was some sort of indecency law. Right.

We walked around... I wore flip-flops. You did wear flip-flops. You were a raw dog in Tokyo with the dogs. Yeah, but it's only because I wore my Adidas with the... Oh my God, look at that. Do you see that? Yeah.

Fuck. I have a huge blister on the inside of my toe Fuck me god damn it and on the other foot fuck God second fucking mother fucking whoa For the audio listener I have on my on the inside of my baby toe. I've got a big big fucking On the inside of my baby toe, I've got a big, big fucking blister that I got from walking around in my stupid shoes that are too stupid, restrictive for my sexy feet. Neither you or Nate brought walking shoes. Nate is my little brother. He didn't bring

walking shoes. He brought high top vans and he's suffering. But his feet aren't suffering. His legs are suffering. Right. The con boys, they don't care about proper walking shoes. We don't, you have very flat feet. Holy shit. Okay, relax. Wait, wait, hold on, hold on. No. This is mine.

I've got a nice, beautiful arch. You have, I've never seen flat feet in person. Whoa. Wow. For the audio listener, again, I mean, this thing is flat as a paper. Yeah, but I prepared, I've inserts in my shoes They give me an arch. Yeah, I've got Birkenstocks inserts. I've got Birkenstocks inserts. I actually didn't know and I went to the doctor

Because I was like my feet hurt all the time my feet hurt. It was horrible Doctor, I'm a meal my feet hurt the doctors like you don't need to tell me your name. I'd sound a chart. Anywho. Yeah, that sucks. Let me see your foot again. Yeah, see? Normal. Normal. Some might even say, good. I guess I never realized. When he told me I had flat feet, I kind of was like, what do you mean? I have an arch. But now that I'm looking at it compared to yours.

Yeah, no, it's very flat. I'm sure that they come in all sorts of variants. Anyway. Uh... Yeah, no, it's very flat. I'm sure that they come in all sorts of variants anyway I'll get the be band when I get done with you Fill me up, you know. Big quits all of this. The $100,000! Guys, there's a disclaimer. All the Steve Celetz out there.

You want to check the disclaimer in the description box. You hit that C Man, I'm missing saying that it's been a couple weeks. We didn't say it last week. Yeah, you didn't you got me in trouble Why cuz the cuz Steve said hey fucker you weren't even on it. Yeah, I know, but it's still it's still that's a good point I don't know it wouldn't make any difference Steve you got some questions. Steve. I'm gonna be calling you man No, Steve's. Steve, I'm gonna be calling you, man. No, Steve's cool, Steve gets it. I can't tell if I was, yeah.

I went to Australia and I had a great time and I kind of want to save the Australia talk just to like vent about why it's so great. It just does so many things right. Because I came from Australia first, that's why Kyla filled in for me last week. Thank you to Kyla. But, uh, better than here. Better than Tokyo. Just different. Tokyo is way, way, way, way more dense. Right. This place is so dense. But I mean, I think filled with Japanese people. As soon as this happens pretty much every time I go to a new city,

you just realize how poorly run Los Angeles is. And you get here, just fucking hop on a train wherever you want to go. Get your pass-mo. That's a Metro card. We did have one full day of just being Americans who needed help. We could not figure out how to get on the train. I had no idea what an IC card was, but the people here are so friendly. They see you struggle and they come help. Yeah. Very nice. And one interesting thing is there

are no public trash cans. And yet there's no trash. We found one today. We took a video of it because you were so rare. Yeah, you're just expected to carry around your trash with you, which is really perplexing. These Japanese people, man, they just carry around that trash. I wish they could see what we're looking at. Yeah, so we're in our hotel on the 14th floor

and behind us, or behind behind you is all of Tokyo. Some of it. I think that's Mount Fuji out there, but I can't be sure there's a big... Well, you can't really see it, but behind that building there's a mountain and it's shaped perfectly like a mountain. And I think that that's Mount Fuji. But yeah, we're having a great time. It's only just starting to, we're still in Tokyo. I think we leave tomorrow to go to... We leave tomorrow for us, but that's gonna be like three days ago for you.

Before... Yeah, we're actually in the future. Yeah, we're one day in the future. Today is tomorrow. Today for us is tomorrow for you. But because I think Tokyo is like 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles at least. But yeah, just so you guys know, this one's going to be a little discombobulated, which is totally fine.

I got sick. It wasn't, it's just a standard issue. Flu, cold kind of deal in case you can tell. I don't think that's the flu. I don't know. I don't think you get the flu. I don't know. I don't know. It's the equivalent of travelers diarrhea, but for the...

You got some kind of Australian bug. Oh, I gotta tell you, you know it's crazy? While you were gone, I got diarrhea. What do you mean while I was gone? While you were in Australia? You got diarrhea back home? Damn, what happened? Eat some bad beans? No, you know what it was. You got diarrhea back home. Damn, what happened? Eat some bad beans.

No, you know what it was. You know how I always complain about how one vegetarian restaurants swap out veggies for fake meat. Oh, I know you're always complaining about that. A vegetarian restaurant I love hadn't been to since before the pandemic. I went, everything was impossible meat.

I was so pissed. So I just got, I got a breakfast burrito. It was fake eggs fake sausage fake everything and then And It was in Beverly Grove Look what you doing in Beverly Grove. I was meeting a friend Uh-huh, and then truly I was gonna go I was running an errand

I was gonna go to at water village and so I have to pass my house on the way back, and I literally started sweating. I was like, oh yeah, diarrhea sweats, man, okay. I was panicking. Buddy, I've been there. Oh. And I was like, I need Ben. I need someone to walk me through this.

Oh, there's nothing I could have done. This is not my way. Nothing I could have done. And then I made it home. It's very scary. I can't believe that's a common occurrence for you. It's not a common occurrence, but I can recall one time, I may have told you this, but for those of you out there,

there was one time when I lived in New York, I was going out to meet some friends, I'm like a Friday night, a Saturday night, and I'm walking past a brand new Shake Shack that just opened near my house, and I thought, you know, I'm on my way to going out, I got kind of an empty stomach. You know what, I'm gonna stop, get a little Shake Shack.

I'm gonna get a little burger. Get me going here. And I got a burger and then I came out and get on the train. I ate the burger at Shake Shack. Get on the train. I'm talking within eight minutes. That thing was plowing through my intestinal tract.

It was just like, no, we're not stopping anywhere. Get this thing, my body was like, get this thing out. And I was sweating, I was hot. Worst part is I'm standing on the train. I look over in the corner and there's a really cute girl who I had exchanged phone numbers with and there's a really cute girl who I had Exchange phone numbers with just like a month prior and we kind of had like Made tentative plans, but then we're like yeah, well, we'll catch up soon and

Side could tell she was giving me the look like I hate you and like let's But I looked at her just with like oh fuck god. I can't please do not come and talk to me because I'm just dead Had to wait for us to go under the river, got out at first Avenue, just ran above ground and then back underground, got on the train going back in the opposite direction. Thank God I was only one stop, got back out, ran to my place. Oh my God, and I just spent a good 20 minutes

in the bathroom praising Jesus praising a god oh Yeah, your whole body is just yeah None of that energy and you know what I just realized what did you set a timer? Yes, I did. Oh great I certainly did set a timer It'd be nice if it showed on my on my fucking default screen here, but that's fine So we are gonna get into it a little bit. I know that all you little, the ones who like to nag us

about, oh, it's not in the finances episode, or it's too much finance. We're gonna find the mix, okay, so don't worry. There's a lot of big shit in the news. Also, and then there's gonna be, we're gonna do the bonus episode still. Yeah, if you wanna, you guys might wanna get into that one. Because here's the thing.

We can't stop there for you. We can't stop there for you. Just tell them we're using it. We were trying to do a, cause we're in bed, as you can see. And we were like, we're already in bed. What are we gonna do? Get dressed for this? So we were gonna do it in our underwear.

But apparently YouTube said, don't do that. Do that. You're gonna get demonetized. You get demonetized and we're not gonna share the video anywhere on that. So we're gonna do that. We're teasing that to you. So if you want to see us in our underwear doing the whole episode in our chonies, chonie balonies. You're gonna want to subscribe to Team G Studios.tv. But you guys are getting the dogs for absolute free. Chonies, Choni Bolognes. You're gonna wanna subscribe to Team G Studios.TV. But you guys are getting the dogs for absolute free. You're pathetic little feet.

Okay, so I wanted, I can't, what? I want my water. Okay, I can't decide if I wanna go right into Twitter or Chevron CEO saying what he said or meta-crashing. And I do apologize that some of this news is old, but I mean, give me a break here. I'm on vacation and I'm... I've drank 2,000 Japanese whiskey's last night.

You've drank 2,000 Japanese whiskey's last night. I've drank 2,000. Two thousand. Yeah. Two thousand. What? Ha ha ha. Also, it's Halloween here. I mean, obviously it was Halloween

because by the time you watch this, it's over. But they do it, they go fucking bananas here, folks. It's kind of insane. There's probably, how many people do you think we're out on the street last night? A million? Or on Saturday? Probably a million people.

But I think, yeah, last night wasn't as bad. I think the night before was the worst. I was scared. Saturday night, it was a little terrifying because there's truly nowhere to go except just walking with the crowd and everybody's wearing their costumes. Way too many guys in Pikachu, sleep jumpsuits. Yeah. Which are disgusting. And then we woke up the day after and we saw that in Seoul, Korea, there was a similar kind of Halloween party. And there was a stampede or something.

Yeah. 150 people died. Yeah. It was a crush of people. They were all trying to fit into a narrow alley. But yeah, people were gone Absolutely nutty. We saw we saw a couple people puking one woman just had She was just crouched down with it looked like she dumped out oatmeal in front. That's cool, dude. No, that's cool this year and Yeah, we

I yeah, I maybe we'll just share all that. I'll talk political and I'll talk more about what... You're getting political? Well, what Australia does write, what Tokyo does write, or Japan does write, and how they, because I really want to get into that. I feel like that's an interesting topic, and it was one that really broke my heart

when I was in Australia. And just, I just want to say real fast, just not behind the paywall here, but to all the people in Australia that I didn't get to meet, I wanted to do a little meetup. I'm really, really sorry. I really wanted to do that.

So fucking badly. Wait, where a lot of people are gonna come? Yeah, yeah. And a lot of people were saying, come to Melbourne, come to Melbourne. Like, sorry, I can't come to Melbourne. I'm in Sydney. But everybody in Australia, excuse me,

it's just so friendly and warm and kind and I just, I have a really soft spot for all those people. So a huge shout out to everybody in Australia who I didn't get to see. And I will next time, because I definitely plan on coming back. And it's a magical place. And probably one of the best that planet earth has to offer.

So there's that. So shall we just get into it? Cause we've been at it for a good 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gonna wanna sign up, tmgstudios.tv. If you wanna see that bonus episode. Anyway, we saw Jim Kramer cry. Facebook, Facebook, or, sorry, meta, did such a bad quarter.

They lost on like every single metric. Their revenues were down. Cash flows were down. EPS was down. The only thing that was up was I think user growth was up, but that's no surprise, but their monetization of users was down precipitously because they suck more and more at it. Also what? But also what? Wait, user users of the meta platform or Facebook? Of like Facebook Instagram across everything.

They're steadily up to, I think they hit two billion a month. The active users, if meta users went up, it was like from 32 to 40. Yeah. Yeah. If you're out there and you use VR, let us know because we even thought about doing an episode in VR, but at this point, that's fucking stupid. I will say though, I sent you the one thing where because we make fun of it a lot. Mm-hmm.

I saw my first practical use where the guy was, Oh, he had digital monitors. He had multiple monitors, but he really only had one monitor and he's working and he's got all of his, you know, that was very nice. But ultimately, also, like, my eyes would be screaming after an hour of work. Yeah, yeah, it definitely, your head head starts to hurt the strap starts to hurt

It feels uncomfortable for those of you who wear glasses like me. It's just it's it invites all kinds of shitty issues, but Speaking of glasses what I'm having a rough time. I was maybe more hung over than I've ever been yesterday and so I was just trying to get my life together and I was gonna meet you guys for breakfast. So I was like I just got a shower and wash off last night and then and I put my Glasses on the bed my eye glasses to see I normally wear contacts and then when I was putting my socks on I Sad on the bed and then I got up to put my glass on my Fully broke the frame No, I can't see I can't read my books

The lenses popped out I have no eyeglasses anymore except for my sunglasses everywhere I go If I don't want to wear my contacts I have to wear sunglasses that is contact lenses that I can't wear because I can't fucking put them in right Absolutely brutal. Well, anyway, I'm glad you interrupted for that because, uh, or not not interrupted, but you know, inserted that because that is important that people know that you know, fucked without your glasses here. Uh, so- Well, they should know if they see pictures of me on Instagram with glasses indoors, I'm not a sunglasses doors guy. No, I just can't see. He is, but it does make you look cool when you do that. But anyway, I guess Mark Zuckercorn has personally been, this guy has been personally steering meta like the Titanic into a damn iceberg.

And there's a lot of speculation out there that he's fucked, because he's just forcing meta, he's forcing the metaverse on everyone at Facebook, and nobody seems to have the balls or the ovaries to... I think a lot of people are begging him to stop. Really? And he's just saying, no, it's the future.

I think that it's cool. I'm gonna keep lighting money on fire. It's not gonna happen, man. Mark, it ain't happening, dude. And that's not to say that I don't think that it's gonna happen, period. I think that it'll happen. It's just gonna be like it's always been

a very highly specialized thing that's a niche form of entertainment, social gathering, and it will have utility, I think, in training for nurses and pilots and whatnot, I think that it serves a practical purpose there, but I don't think that it's gonna be like, hey, pop into the metaverse and come over for Thanksgiving, and let's, you know, all that.

See, that's the darkest thing to me. Like, if his bet is right, I'm like, I don't want that. I don't want to live in that world. And I don't think other people do either. I think after, you know, two years of weird COVID, I think people have learned like, oh, I really like a certain level of intimacy and being around family and friends that I can't quite get out of a zoom.

Right. Oh, man, zoom get together. Oh, yeah, I didn't, I didn't do any. I hated it. I did a couple that it's, it's terrible. It's dog. Right. You don't get what you're looking out of it. Right. Looking for out of it. I so to that, to that, to that end, when stock market was just absolutely rocketing off of the COVID lows, and the big headline for those of you who don't know, the big headline was that online retail sales have had five years of growth pulled forward. So what would have otherwise taken five years of steady growth of people slowly adopting to online retail sales, because just caveat.

Online retail sales are shockingly, but a percentage of total retail sales. I know it seems like, I would guess, if I didn't know, I'd be like, oh yeah, the majority of people do the majority of their shopping online. Further, far from the truth, I think it's only like 20% of retail sales. I'm pulling that out of my ass, but it's close. I thought that was real. What? I believed you.

I think it's something like 20% of retail sales is e-commerce. That's actually very surprising. So when people pulled up the chart, it was like, you suddenly had this exponential, not exponential, but this like hockey stick curve from COVID because people were forced to buy online. And so the supposition Shopify went up like 10X. Amazon like tripled, you know, and then now Shopify has pretty much given all of it back.

Because as it turns out, yeah, it pulled all of that growth forward, but then it kind of gave it all back because people remembered, oh yeah, I like to go try on shoes. Oh, I like to go try shopping online. I hate shopping period. I like it. Yeah, you've been going dummy at all these. I don't shop like I'm shopping here because it's there's stuff I've never seen before. It's great.

Look at these pajamas, these prison pajamas are there. Also, they come up so short, I'm looking like fucking Andrew Schultz in this you look like japano I don't know what he looks like. Yeah, he looks like how you look you look like you're about to build pinot I look like I'm about to build myself a son all you need is your glasses that you fucking I know You don't have broken ass glasses. Actually, you should I How have I broken ass glasses? Actually, you should. I would, the shopping in Tokyo is very sick,

especially if you like, I like very plain stuff. I don't like, you know, I don't like loud things, I don't like logos on shit, and they have the coolest basics, just like minimal. So what you're saying is that the Japanese are basic. No, I'm saying they've crushed the like, the USS Arizona, the subtle fashion. Very cool shops.

I'm losing my mind. We had a Japanese guy. I'm going to one of the shopping districts again to check out some stuff. That's cool, dude. We had a Japanese guy apologize to us for kamikazis. Yeah, that was weird. We were a dinner this guy. Well no we were on a we were on a tour. A drinking tour. A drinking tour and we're at this one spot and this big guy was you know what they were doing though? So you you and Phil were on that side of the table so you couldn't see it. He looked at me and he started flexing.

Yeah. And so I flexed back. I went. And then he came over and sat with us and his other friend came too. And the big guy said he was a sumo wrestler. Right, which he absolutely was. Oh, yeah, it was cool.

He was punching the ground. And then he said he was like a MMA or something. Yeah, some kind of boxing. Yeah. Oh man, he was like shadow boxing. And then I think they made it, maybe we were pretty drunk. We were having fun.

Yeah, yeah, everyone was very drunk though. But he was, they were just telling us any kind of connection they had to America, which was sweet. I think they were trying to connect to us. And he was saying he knew someone in, where was it? Cincinnati.

He knew someone in Cincinnati. So we're talking about Cincinnati. And then I got quiet for a bit. And our tour guide was like, he says he's sorry for the kamikaze. We had to be like, and then he said kamikaze. Sorry. We were like, oh, that's okay.

It's okay, dude. It's okay. I was gonna apologize for Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but then I thought that that might kill the vibe. Also, none of us have anything to do with this. Yeah, I don't know what you buddy who died in Kamikaze attacks. We could just vibe out.

So if you're out there, buddy, nursing your two-day hangover, God bless you. Anyway, all that's to say, Mark Zuckerberg is, he's got a lot to answer for. His net worth has dropped down to a poultry, $38 billion at last I checked. How so is that? That's pretty insane. That his net worth went from a couple hundred, like, $190 billion or something, $150, down to $40. Also, I do apologize for my sticky voice. I know it can be kind of annoying for some people. Is it possible that it could go,

his net worth could drop below a billion dollars. He could go to Vlad status. 100 billion dollars. I mean, it is possible, but that would, I think that that would be indicative of there being much, much, much bigger issues. Because if meta were to collapse, that would, that would mean that meta became like a, not a penny stock, but

pretty damn close. That would mean that it dropped to like a $5 billion market. Let's make it happen. Some people are speculating, excuse me. Some people are speculating that because, uh, just gonna call them Facebook. They're getting to the point where They are going to have to ramp up the monitor if they're they're gonna enter this death cycle where they're gonna have to ramp up Monodization in such a way that it's going to further alienate users causing more and more people to leave

Platforms like Instagram and Facebook, which will then in turn cause them to have to monetize even more, which will cause people to leave even more. But I also don't necessarily know that I believe that that kind of thing is going to happen. I think that we're so, it's just so ingrained in the culture, I cannot imagine someone coming and taking over. Closest would be TikTok, but. Well, yeah, I'm just curious what,

I mean, Facebook is unusable. I don't even know. I mean, I used to use it for marketplace, but even now when I try to use marketplace, they've, I think I've said this on the show before, they ruined it because it's now just like retail sellers, you know, those ships theft to you. And I, you know, I want it like Craigslist.

I want to go find something in Los Angeles and go pick it up. And Instagram, they're fully just chasing the TikTok, the TikTok effication. I will say this though. Pushing video on you at all times. Instagram does have better targeted ads. I think when you compare it to Twitter, which is the next thing that we're going to cover here obviously, because unless you've been squished under a rock like a bug, Elon Musk finally took the reins of Twitter.

In the absolute dorkiest way, did you see him let that sink in? But what is the, what's his brain? What is he letting sink in let it sink in? Let it sink in. I own it. Let it sink in. Let that sink in. I God what a fucking his he's so he wants to be Internet-pilled yeah and like dork pilled on the internet that he I can't believe He didn't have fucked him more than eight times because he's got eight kids. Yeah, that's true. But no, I can't believe he was like, I'm gonna do the meme. I'm gonna take over this.

What did he pay? $44 billion. More billion. And I'm gonna do the meme. I'm gonna bring a saying. He went out or no, he probably had like an assistant go buy a sink. Oh yeah, of course. But make sure that it's one that I can carry or hold. Things are heavy.

Things are heavy, but so I don't know if you saw a couple things. There's rumors that they are going to charge a monthly fee for verification. The verification batch. $20 a month. I saw another one that was five, because it's basically Twitter blue, but I mean, so I'm verified, I would let that badge fucking expire because I don't care, and it would also take away the one, one of the things that a lot of...

You wouldn't pay for it? No, who cares? At that point, because all it's, I think it'll be open for anyone then, if you want a verification. Oh, at that point, that's stupid. But yeah, exactly. I don't know.

It's definitely helpful in the sense that like if we wanted to have someone on the show, I think if you DM them and it's like verified and then it's like a billionaire pod in your bio. That's true. He would be, you know. Yeah, but then someone could be like, well, I want to go on the show.

The guy's not. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know how to feel about that. I think that it's a stupid cash grab. I think that there's so there's a lot of speculation about what's going on internally now. I guess he like brought in a bunch of Tesla coders to take a look at the code and juice it in whatever way. But it I'll say this, it'll be interesting to see what happens with the platform.

It was also interesting to be far removed, because when you travel, you can follow along on Twitter, but it feels different. And so everybody's freaking, I'm in the first class lounge and sing a boy. And he'll never let you forget. I'll never let you forget. And I'm better than you. And I'm in there. Better than boy. And he'll never let you forget. I'll never let you forget. And I'm better than you and I'm in there and. Better than me. And of course.

And I'm following along on Twitter and it just feels like, what does everybody give a shit? Who cares? Yeah, he bought it. It's not like suddenly there's gonna be, you know, I'm sure that there are people out there who are gonna try to humble me and say, you're privileged because, you know,

you're not gonna get a lot of hate. I get plenty of hate, trust me, alright? Welcome it though. I do sometimes. I mean, I asked you when you got, because we got here like a day and a half before you, and I'm like, you know scrolling Twitter waiting for Phil to get out of the shower and stuff, and I'm just seeing you and like Matt Taibe fighting online and I'm like, but even you're on vacation. What are you doing?

You're like quote tweeting him like. Well, because he was doing, okay, so I got pissed off and this is something, the problem, it speaks to what's going on. The problem with Twitter is that it encourages the most base. It doesn't encourage nuanced discussion. Twitter is that it encourages the most base. It doesn't encourage nuanced discussion. It encourages dunking and it encourages shit talking and it encourages the most.

If you can, the person who wins is the one who can come up with the most sinked dunk on the other person. The most disingenuous take, it's like school yard shit. And it's just like, I was sitting there in the lounge going, this is fucking so sad. Like this is a bummer. And all it took was Matt Taibi.

He's a big journalist. He used to be really, really big with Rolling Stone. And- Oh, before that, I think he'd ink. He's like, he's put out He's a big yeah, we should try to get him on the show. I because I would love to talk to him about this because He's gotten really angry at a lot of online progressive circles because they are just as guilty as is of doing That's the thing is a lot of a lot of a lot of it's two sides of the same coin and a lot of these cases. There's no

Ideologically or moral consistency. It's just like, if this is good for my side, then I start screaming about this. Yes, and I am sympathetic to that, but what I found frustrating is what I find frustrating is the people who then choose to only focus on the left doing that. Like sure, I get it, the left does that, and there are people on the left side who do that, but you are completely in ignoring those on the right, it feels like you're taking the side of those people, which is also stupid and reductive on my part. But so I was trying, I was just, it was just an exercise in futility. And I was on my laptop and the lounge just like drinking a parier.

Just, just fucking responding to these people. Because it's easier to just type. Just hang up my... Fighting online in first class. Just fighting online. But, oh, I was sitting across from this French man. This older French man who was normally I'm annoyed by people who take phone calls like in lounges and shit. But he had a really nice friend jack

He had such a soothing voice Meanwhile he's just talking about like his I'm sorry I'm probably I miss you my wife. I love you so much. I cannot wait to I miss you my wife. I love you so much. I cannot wait to be able to fly. Lick you up and down. I'm here sitting across from my skinny American. He is likely on Twitter where they spend all their time. But... Where was I going with this? Hey, just that that's the problem and I doubt that Elon Musk has the leadership skills or wherewithal or desire to actually fix it to make it a meaningful place for discourse.

No one can fix whatever that urge is. I was telling you, I was like, you're crazy because all I do is post dumb shit on Twitter. Because I see, I was like, I don't want to get involved in that. And I was telling you, I posted the dumbest thing about a TikTok video. And I've got people doing like,

think pieces in my comments of like, oh, you think you're so smart about commenting on TikTok. I'm like, I truly thought I would get 75 likes. I don't know why so many people liked it. And then you just posted the dumbest things. I saw recently a girl posted a screenshot from someone's, from someone's hinge profile and she made a dumb little joke.

And it just, everyone's in there about the state of modern romance. It's just a joke. Everyone relax. Yeah. Yeah, it's just joke. So, except when it's not. You can't even do a joke. Yeah without everyone losing their minds I don't like the idea of trying to make a good point about

You know politics finance anything on Twitter is just like it seems like people willfully Misinterpret your tweets so they can they can quote tweet it and like Get get more likes from it and and clout you know what it is and I I hate to sound like a stuffy douche bag But I'm gonna have to here. I was a philosophy major and I don't remember anything that I learned except I remember no, I didn't even study that shit. That's like physics or some shit, but There was a Nietzsche said something. I don't even study that shit. That's like physics or some shit. But there was Nietzsche said something. I don't even remember what the fuck he said,

but it's tantamount to people just want to feel and exert power wherever they can, whether they're working in the lolliest part of a retail job, whether it's a mall cop, whether it's a Karen, I hate calling them Karen's, but that's the only way that people know what I'm talking about.

Everyone just wants to exert some form of control because it makes them feel like they're, not like they have power, but like they have some sort of control over. I mean, that makes it. I mean, and also, especially as Americans, I would argue, like we are all-time low for people feeling like they have any sort of power or control over their lives. So at least you can like get on, you can get on a social media app and scream at people and maybe even make, you know, make someone lose their job if you don't like what they say yeah and that feels fucking good so that that that manifests itself on social media as

nagging people and telling people they're wrong and saying things like hope this helps and oh Man people love to say hope this helps. Oh fuck you, shut up. Yeah, I've done it before, but shut up, you. It was a weird feeling, because, Damn, one of this helps. The doesn't. As I was boarding, the TikTok tweet was like, getting a lot of people commenting on it.

And I was like, man, I'm gonna, I could wake up in 12 hours in Tokyo and just find out, you know, I'm the main character. I'm the most hated man on Twitter for a dumb joke, but it was all. And everyone was, so, and no one takes the time to like click on your profile to see who you are. So they probably just saw the long hair and they, they, people started

thinking I was a woman. And so everyone was going, well, she's so stupid. And then guys were defending you. Yeah, well, I'm alone. And then Yeah, well, I didn't realize I saw, when I looked at it later, I saw Phil had replied and was like, yeah, everyone, leave her alone. That's funny. One of the other things that Elon Musk said,

as of today, today for us, also today for you, but actually, no, that's like two days ago for you, whatever it was. Elon Musk, I found this very interesting, and just so you know, like is critical as I am of him, I'm willing to give him a shot, I'm willing to see like, okay, what's he gonna do with it? Let's see, if he can turn it around

and make, I'm gonna cheer that on, because I do, I believe in Twitter as a utility, I believe in it as a social media platform. I think that it has something and I think that it deserves saving if it can be saved. But he said, should I bring back fine? Oh, and he put a little ears per-

He put a pole with just a yes or a no. Obviously, the overwhelming majority voted yes. And so now there's speculation that he might be aiming to compete with TikTok, which would be fucking tremendous because I think that that's a good idea. Yeah, but it's tough for me because it's like, I want this to be an abject failure. Oh, yeah, no, totally. I hear you, dude. I hear you. It would be so fun if he just runs it into the ground. Yeah, it is kind of a good idea for him to bring back vine and compete with TikTok.

Yeah, or maybe it's not who knows, but I do think that there is something to be said for the fact that previous ownership of Twitter was, you know, it was a board of directors who had no real financial stake in the company's success. They just didn't really care. They were more like caretakers. They didn't have any real vested interest financially or just from a social media perspective of seeing it succeed. But why not? Why would they not have a financial interest? Exactly. Well, because they just didn't. They didn't, either they weren't given enough shares initially or they just,

they didn't buy enough, but they were collecting their 250 grand a year, however much it was. That was one point that he had made that I agreed with that this company is run by so many like middle managed. It was just a bureaucracy, a corporate bureaucracy that made it impossible to, I think it just became too big for its bridges. He also, like us in these, in these Japanese prison uniforms. I also, I don't know if you said this already, but did you see he's put it, he said he's putting together a council for content moderation. Yes. And we'll know very soon. Yeah. I hope that means he's going to have an answer for whether or not Donnie Boy is coming back. Oh, yeah. Man. See, there's, there's so much. There there's I have to say it's a

disappointment. I think day one you got to do your little let let that sink in and then you got to go trump is back. Yeah I because if you're all about free speech you got to let them back on. Someone me and him and Kanye are still in jail I think. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just on that note of just these awful people. One thing that always happens whenever I kind of want to do a YouTube video about it, that's what I was kind of getting at when I was receiving all of these hate, not even hate, but just all these stupid ass holes in my mentions from the Matt Taiyibi thing, I thought, oh my God, there's too many just to respond.

I can't possibly respond the way that I want to via the limitations of text. I really wanna make a video where I can, because some of these people, they're profile, like one profile was from an account called Triggered Media. And I don't know if that's their thing called like, oh, we're the media that triggers you.

Like, we're the guys who say the edgy shit. You trigger lives. You know what my favorite thing is? What? Every time this happens, they screenshot your... Oh, so that's what I was getting at. And it's so funny. It's funny because they try to all come at me.

There's such irony here that you wouldn't be able to point out in 280 characters that they all come at me and try to make me out to be a sheep because I'm, they all say the same thing. I bet you're, oh, I bet he's triple-vaxed. Yeah, yeah. You got me, pussy. This guy looks like a Biden voter.

And then there's always the, this dude is a fucking beta. This guy's so beta. Oh man. And then I swear to God, I got like fucking five guys. My user photo is me eating an apple, a big fat honey crisp apple at a Dodger game. They always say, they always either just like take the photo and go

Just look at this guy. That's all I got of course. He's the type of guy to eat a apple at a baseball stadium And and they all say that I have low T They all have the same what you got screen shot your fucking I know and I got high testosterone You should you should reply but I didn want to, because then they would win. They would win if I'm going, actually I have high testosterone. If you guys could just look, just look please.

If you're putting up your results from the doctor to prove that you have high T online, you're losing. Yeah, which is really funny. I just hope that they, since they always dig through my shit to find something that they find to be beta and pacification of, you know. Since they always dig through my shit to find something that they find to be beta and

Pussification of you know, is there anything more beta than eating an apple at a baseball stadium? I don't understand what like mother fucker It's because I was at my in tip top shape. I was like so I'm right back there again But it was a 2019 and I thought I was loving honey Excuse me. I was eating honey crisp apples all the time because those shits are delicious And I thought you know what I want to snack at the baseball game To hold me over before I eat a hot dog which I did and I brought them to the apple I'm gonna eat you eating a hot dog these guys want people to dunk on you I know oh no, but then they'd be like looking at me eating that glizzy. He's sucking that thing though

Right knows what he's doing right then you get the homophobic want. Yeah, then you get the fucking I just I really there's no winning with these people But they all do the same thing. We all say the same shit and it's just really funny because they and they get so mad They all are so immediately mad Anyway immediately mad. Anyway. It's just, I hope that Elon brings back for nothing, if for nothing else, then it would be interesting. You know what's funny? So I got tired of seeing the shitty reply,

so I put a reply to mine and I said, guys, it was a joke, relax. And there were people who replied to that one who were like, oh yeah, maybe this is what you get. And I was like, Jesus, dude, relax. Yeah, I don't like that at all. People were like, no, no, this is what you get for trying to make a funny little fucking quip about TikTok. Yeah, like when I went viral on Reddit and said, oh, this was all just a bit and I just got like negative 6,000 downvotes Fuck you you fucking lied on the internet

Revoids you fucker oh I see he works at Buzzfeed. Thank God I deleted my LinkedIn. Oh shit. By the way, yeah, just Thank God I deleted my LinkedIn. Oh shit. By the way, yeah, just Man so many fucking kids love trying to what when I had LinkedIn they just loved Finding me on LinkedIn and adding me on LinkedIn and sending me I know I saw people comment. They were like Jesus. I was one of the people who I was one of the people who requested Ben on LinkedIn. Oh my god God bless you out there. Maybe you got a couple people jobs Oh, I didn't see you were related to Mr. Khan. My feet are kinda cold.

Your feet are cold? But my up top is hot. My up top is hot. You guys, oh no. I'm scrolling through our text messages because there was this one. Oh wait, dude. Didn't you have a message for,

didn't you have a message for, who? Kramer? Wait, dude. Didn't you have a message for a didn't you have a message for uh Who Kramer Well, yeah, but see I wanted to save it cuz I'm I was gonna do I was gonna do my wrestler guy Bit because he cried, but I can't do it here. It's not as fun. I know, but we can maybe have him play it and do it in post Do it in post We we can play it on the thing somehow. Well sure, we can play him crying,

but it's not as fun if I'm not there to respond right away as my dad. All right, we'll respond later. Yeah, but shit, what was it going? There was the thing about, where is it? Where is it? Remember, didn't I send you the tweet about the Chevron CEO? I don't have you sent to me, but I know what happened.

What, why don't you tell us? So, again, I don't usually, we have notes in front of us, but Chevron, what had record profits and record profits. He's absolutely, oh, I think he surpassed Apple. I think they surpassed Apple. They're back in, yeah, which was a huge, which is a huge event for them. And, oh, I got it.

So people were, people were screaming at them to you know it was excellent sorry excellent and and they responded by saying the way we do return our profits to the people well in the form of yeah the the c-eo said quote there has been discussion in the u-s about our industry returning some of

our profits directly to the american people that's exactly what we're doing in the form of our quarterly dividend. So he's basically saying, hey America, you fucking pigs, you fucking little babies, you little bitches, you little sluts, we hate you so much. Not only do we, are we, you're paying the highest amounts ever at the pump, but we are actually making the most profit ever from that. And it's not due to high input costs necessarily. It's due to us just being able to charge that much

because you're a bunch of little picky's who need to drive. Hey, you're a little picky at a trough. Yeah. And we're gonna pour the slop out for you. And if you want some of this money back, you little bitch, if you want some of the profits, buy our stock. Right. So that you can, you little bitch. If you want some of the profits, buy our stock. Right.

So that you can get your little dividend. And however much it is, a pathetic dollar or 50 cents dividend. And Joe Biden said, listen here Jack, you gotta, you gotta lower prices. That's always good. Oh man, that's, and of course people, wait, yeah, people are... Riveting stuff. Yeah, people are, people are, you guys gotta remember people,

but that are, I wish we could send a mail. And they are constantly, they are constantly, you should be one to talk. Oh, my brain is broken. No, mine's not. Pretty much every night, you've said to talk. Oh, my brain is broken. No, mine's not. Pretty much every night you've said to me, Emil, you look so tired. Oh yeah, I had to say, yeah, I'm halfway around the world. I've been drinking every night, eating,

I've never eaten like this in my life. And that's true. Every time I look over at you, you're just going, you're looking at me already, just going. But I've also probably had like 10 high balls. A high ball is whiskey and... Sparkly water? Yeah, they're really good.

They're really tasty. They're refreshing. The Japanese do love them. I love them. The Japanese love to sleep on the train. Let me go. Hey, I was sleeping on the train. There was the world's smallest, love to sleep on the train. Let me go. Hey, I was sleeping on the train. There was the world's smallest, youngest business man

sleeping on the train next to me the other day. Just, just hunched over, I'm hunched over right now, audio listener, just fully like, chin into his chest. And I thought this poor little guy, he has no idea what time it is you were that guy yesterday yeah but I had you guys because I knew they're not gonna leave me I wouldn't when we when we arrive at where we're going I would have said you got to do your own thing man I can't be they do this funny thing here where they play really really upbeat like

on the train platform before the train's about to go and it's just funny because the juxtaposition between the the energy of the music and like the imagery of like the cartoon characters with the absolute just emotionless timidity is that the word? Sure how tim timid the Japanese people are is very amusing. It's like, who are the creatives behind this, that cultural thing? You know, it doesn't match. It doesn't match up. I do really like the, you know,

they have bars where they're, you know, they're these like very respectful, you're just in there to listen. And, you know, we went to, I think it was the day, it must've been the day you got here, because we were out and we went to, you weren't with us yet, I think you were flying.

And we went to this jazz bar, it was so cool, but no one spoke English. So the lady was trying to communicate with us with like sounds and stuff, and she came out because she was like, basically, before you come in, in you have to know she was trying to say no talking so she was like yeah meh meh meh meh meh and I was like made an ex with her arms yeah yeah yeah yeah I said oh we won't talk we'll only listen and she let us in and it was it's amazing everyone just sits there it's so cozy and quiet and you're just listening to jazz. Nice rock. That's like the bar that we tried to go to, the JBR or whatever. JBs.

That we didn't let them. Oh yeah. That place. Amazing vibe when I walked in, but they wouldn't let us in. My favorite Japanese interaction so far, we went to this little beach town yesterday and my feet, my dogs were just killing me so much that. And also the waves were like perfect little one footers with offshore winds, slide offshore winds. And I thought I got a surf Tokyo. Even though I got a surf Japan, it's like shitty, but there are good little waves. Maybe I can rent a wet suit in a board. So I stopped off at this place. The guy working there work in there was like five foot two, Sandy Gray hair and hardly spoke any English. But the way that he said, the way that he said yes, he just made this guttural grunt. So I was like, do you rent wet suits and boards? Oh, oh, yeah, I get what you say.

Oh, yeah, I'm like, okay, okay, you have a like a large and he walks me in the back and he has me. He puts it up against my back and he said like large. I was like, okay, can I change here? Change, yes. Uhhh. Did he put you in a room? It was just like his back room. Yeah, yeah.

And then while I was naked, he comes back there, and I was like, whoa, hey! I slightly covered myself up. And then he was like showing me something, just ignoring the fact that I'm standing there, like with my hand over my balls. And he said something and just, and then went, ugh, lift. And he gave me this 10-foot board that was, you really had to like pivot it off the tail and it was fun, but then yeah.

I'm surprised because I've gotten in trouble with the, like in America, if I'm trying it, just a shirt on. Ugh. I mean, maybe you're supposed to, but I just, I'll just take my shirt off and put the shirt on. Oh, yeah, you loved it. You loved it.

It's just quicker. I'm not gonna be like, can tell. Oh, yeah, totally quicker. No, quicker. Can someone take me to a dressing room? Yeah. No, but then you did it yesterday. Well, no, I've done it a couple times here

because I'm like, I don't know where it is. I often have trouble communicating and we've been going to places that aren't super touristy. So there will be people who aren't speaking a ton of English. And I was like, I could just try the shirt on, see if it fits. But people have been like, no, no, no, don't, don't do that. Because they don't know if you're gonna take off the rest. And then we were in Shimokitazawa and not a lot of people speak English there.

And I, they had this sick this sick tour de France shirt from the 80s. So I was like, I just want to make shirt fits. I started to take my shirt off and she was like, don't. I was like, oh, all right, right. So then I was like, I guess I got to find the dressing room and I went over and I saw the curtain and I peeled it back and there was some woman in there and I was like, no, I'm so sorry.

Please, I don't know how to explain that. It was horrible. When I flew first class on the way here, there was an Indian man flying with me in his seat. I don't know why I gave that detail, but he was in, I went to go open the bathroom and he was in there changing and he didn't lock the door and he also didn't say anything when I opened it. So I like started to open it and then he allowed me to open it more and then he just kind of closed the door and I saw his titties and I saw his belly

and then when he came out he was like, I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry. What are you sorry for? I'm sorry I had to say. I'm the one who opened the door. I'm sorry that I saw you did it. Yeah. You're little pepperoni nipples. Yeah. Pepperonis.

But everyone's so nice. I love trying on clothes here, because the women in the shops will be like, you look so good. Oh yeah, well, they want you to buy it, man. No, I think they're being honest. Yeah, but they also don't want you to buy it. No, I can tell.

The exchange rate, guys, that we got a shout out to Corota the Bank of Japan's Guy in charge Man there that fucking I mean, I think we should be celebrating that no no Curse is thinking but it has been you know, I pay I use my credit card and then I look at the charge that comes through and I go, that was four dollars. I just balled out of control. Speaking of central banks, we got the FOMC,

I think is this week? Shit, actually, yeah, I think there's a meeting tomorrow for us two days from now for you, but also two days ago by the time you guys watch this on your Friday, which will be our Saturday. It's messing me up. I can never tell what day it is because like, especially we've had to talk to our producers and stuff.

I'm so confused at all times. It's Tuesday. Today is Tuesday for us. And Monday night for the people right right which is really shitty because you know I hope nothing happens this week that involves us having to bring you guys the news, but The Fed is expecting to get the news. Yeah They'll be able to figure that shit out, but the Fed is expected to raise by another 75 basis points, I believe.

And I got a wonder if it's all factored in and added in by now, because you already had tech earnings come out, Amazon came out, Apple came out, Apple famously, if nobody saw, I believe they slightly missed, I want to say. And the stock opened down, but then rallied, like, 10 bucks, like, 7% off the lows. That's a good sign There's a you know, you know, what's a sign of capitulation? To a sign of a low

Potentially you had you had cry baby Bill Ackman during the COVID low He went on TV and he cried and that was that was like the low that was has he cried? No, but Bill Ackman watched. No, no, no, no. What's his name? Cramer. Cramer cried. Cramer cried on TV.

And that could be a low. That's a big indicator that, hey, that might be one that we look back on as, what's he doing here? I want to pull up one more thing. So should I be bye-bye buying if we're almost at the low? Well, I'm not gonna say that, because I can't, but I will say it.

So I'm excited about one trade that I have on. I'm a little nervous, but the chart is setting up just textbook, beautiful. And if I were not on vacation, I'd probably be over managing this trade, because that's what I tend to do. And over managing in this situation would be just selling all the call options that I have.

But going on vacation is I don't over manage it. So like I haven't really been trading. By the way, trader treehouse is coming. It's very, very soon. By the time I get back, it should be like up and running. All those young men out there. Young man? Young man?

Young man just want to trade. That's the worst joke I've ever done. Young man. Young man. Young man. Just want to trade. He just want to eat meat. Yeah, it's mostly going to be you crying. It's mostly going to be me crying about young men. But we do worry about the young men. Yeah, there's a lot to worry about with these young men. I will say pretty much, you will say pretty much. And that's it. That's it.

What were you going to say from your bookmark? Any of the, oh, because we talked about meta, but text docs in general have just taken an absolute beating. I was trying to find the exact stat. It was something like 30% I think the nice deck is down from the highs. Yeah, but there was a not it was like something trillion dollars Just like white belt in wealth. Yeah, yeah in value. Yeah, yeah, I think it's like two trillion or something like that and I wanted to have the exact number, but I couldn't find it and so I know that some of you would ask because I get this question It's like even alphabet. It's just it's not just fucking meta. It's crazy. Right. Right. It's everything. It's across the board

But a lot of people ask so oh when they say the stock market has erased say a trillion dollars in value Where does that money go? Well, it doesn't it it's kind of You know, it's like if you buy something in the value of it goes down. Where does the money go? It's just, well, you parted ways, you bought it for $100 and tomorrow suddenly the highest anyone's willing to pay for it is $80. It's just, where did that $20 goes? It's just, it's just not there. The money was never really there to begin with, right? It's just, it's a, it's an's an indication of someone's willingness to pay for something. Yeah.

How much they're willing to pay. And you got to remember that the market is a forward discounting mechanism. It is trying to price out where things will be in 18 to 24 months. So at this point, you got to figure, all right, has the worst been factored in? Has it been factored in? I haven't been following exactly what's going on with Russia.

I haven't been following exactly going following what's going on with central banks. All right, but what I haven't been following in charts. I haven't been following the charts. I haven't been following the charts. I've been following the charts I'm in logging in every day. I've been seeing what that S&P doing. I've been logging in every day seeing what that QQQ is doing. I've been seeing what they doing. Have you? Yeah, of course, man. I got a check in on my shit damn I still got a check. I've been waking up holding on for dear life

Yeah, yeah me and Phil trading off on the bathroom, some of these bidets are a little lower budget and they don't find your butthole. They just, they, because I sit, listen, I straddle the toilet a little different than the rest of you. I sit a little further forward on it. Are you gonna explain how you can explain how I do it? Can you please?

You wanna know how I sit on the toilet? you want to know how I sit on the toilet? Do you want to know how I sit on the toilet? Fine, I'll tell you I rest my dick and balls on the front end of the toilet. Okay there now everybody knows Now everybody knows do I know why no? It's just been that way for as long as I can remember I think it's because sitting fully on the toilet with my dick and balls hanging into the toilet bowl makes me nervous. It just makes me nervous. I don't know how the rest of you do it. I don't know how you do that.

Don't you pee sometimes when you shit. I pee first. I pee so this is, okay, so now we're gonna get into it. Look at what you get. Now what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we got time, we got six more minutes. This is the perfect place to wrap it up. This is what I do, Emil. If I have to pee, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, God damn it dude. So here's what I do. You know the the here hold my mic so I can

describe it to you. So here's here's the the edge of the toilet bowl. This is you know this is where this is the the front end. So first I put down a paper gasket, a toilet paper gasket so that my butt and my legs don't actually touch can you just oh sorry. Other my legs so that my legs don't touch my skin don't actually touch, can you just, oh, sorry, other my legs so that my legs don't touch, my skin isn't touching the actual, the, you know what, I'm just gonna hold on. What's wrong with me? So my dick and balls, I put down a gasket and I hold them up and I rest them on there. And like you asked, sometimes a little bit comes out, well I crumple up some toilet paper

and I put it right there so that if anything happens, you know, it just gets absorbed in the toilet paper. I learned that less than the hard way because one time I peed onto the back of my own pants at work. I'm sitting there and I shot out. There was just a little bit of urine shot out and it got on the back of my own pants. And I sent it to the Twitter group chat and they were like, how did you piss on the back of your pants? And then, then I had to explain to them how I sit on the toilet.

This is how these things always come out when you tell me. You tell me something like that. Like like I pissed on the back of my pants And so you you're always like 10 steps ahead and I'm going how could someone piss on the back of their pants? Well, and then you're like because I took a shit and then you're going Yeah, but wait what? Were your pants in the toilet? Yeah, no, no, no, No, my dick and balls were resting on the toilet seat as they do. So anyway, because of my seating position... I'm worried people are gonna think something weird's going on here.

I don't know what that is. Yeah, I don't worry about it. It looks totally normal to me. Okay. But, so the bidet wand doesn't come out that far. So, I've got to kinda like... So, a couple times it's happened to me where I press the thing and it comes and it just scorts up my back. It just, it hits my ass crack

and it's just getting me all wet. It's just making a mess. And I got to like, oh, and I got to kind of like lean forward and push myself backward to get it actually up in there. And um... Yeah, so I think maybe it washes away along with my shame. Maybe the Japanese weren't accounting for a large American man to... Stratdle the toilet, be stupidly. Yeah, yeah.

Because they, they get me spot on. Yeah. The first time I did it, I hadn't done it in so long and we were out to breakfast and I was like, I gotta go use bathroom and then... I was like, you know, it's all, number one, it's all in Japanese. So you're just like going off picture kind of and you're like, I think that's what I want. Well, because they've got the butt. It's a big butt with a water shootout in it.

And so it looks like different settings and I'm like, I probably want that one. I hit it and I fully, you know, the guy next to me must have heard me, because as soon as it started, I just went, yo dude. And I knew if I got up, I was like, I'm gonna get all wet and we're out for the day. And so I was like, you gotta just breathe through this and get your wits about you so you can figure out

how to shut this thing off. Yeah, because it just goes until you find the button to turn it off. So I was just getting absolutely blasted just being like, I feel like it might be that one. So you know, I've got the experience. I know the universal sign for stop is the little square. The bold square, boom, stop, and it's done.

It's- No, I didn't have a square. What I had to do was you have to hit the same button again. So I was hitting other things, then finally I was able to turn it off. Well, folks, I think that what, we've got two minutes left. Should we- Should we what?

I don't know, Should we fill the time? Oh, yeah. Wait, we can go longer than an hour now. Well, I set the timer for an hour and five minutes. And that was after like three or four minutes of recording. Right. Yeah. And our producer did say, keep it about an hour or we're gonna, or we're gonna fucking kill you.

We already torment production enough with our, I think they were worried that there was not gonna be anyone to shut us out in Japan. We're just out here freewheeling, no producer. But so yeah, we have a couple minutes left. Look guys, we're having an absolute blast. Japan is treating us so well. It's amazing here.

The funniest people I've ever been in contact with. The funniest people? Friendly. Friendly, it's funny. You know what, it's funny though. So we've been talking to people in Tokyo and we told them, we're going to go and talk next and they said, we're going to love it

because people there are funny. Yeah, they said people are funny. They said it's cool and people are funny. So I'm very excited to see what kind of jokesters we get. Yeah, what kind of cool funny people we're gonna encounter. And does that mean they think we're funny? If we were talking to them and they were like, you're gonna like, because people are funny.

Or maybe they're like, these guys are not funny. They'll see what funny is. I wonder if that's where they film that funny Japanese show where they try to get teasing them? Things are chocolate, yeah. So for the audio listener, I did on button my prison uniform and I've exposed my soft belly here. Look at this thing, my tiny tiny little nippies.

So if you want to see that, and we're going to take off our bottoms too, because it's a little stuffy in here, but also if you know, because I'm sure the problem is that I'm eating like a tourist. If you know how to eat healthy in Japan. Don't tell them. Let them figure it out. D-S-O-F. DM me.

You know what? Maybe I'll put something on Instagram and say, hey, sometimes I feel like I'm just associating because I'm just like dissociating, you mean? What did I say? Dis-associating. No, I don't think I did. I think he did. But I don't think I've eaten a vegetable. Yeah, I don't think I did. I think he did. But I don't think I've eaten a vegetable.

Yeah, I don't think you have either. That's weird. And I've been watching. You guys haven't eaten them? Because fucking vegetables are for the foods. They're for a frickin' blue check mark. Apple eating at a baseball game lib tart. That's like my main staple.

Yeah. Well. I would love a vegetable. They use paper clips here. So that's probably your issue. Yeah. Anyway, folks, that about does it for the travel episode.
