Hello and welcome to another episode of Trash Taste. I'm joined once again by the boys, and we have a returning guest, because you're back in Japan now. Hell yeah. I'm here permanently now. This time is for real. Yeah. For real, for real?

Yeah, now that my country's on fire, I chose Japan to just stay here. Oh, wow, whoa, whoa. Yeah, we got Hassan. He's back. Yeah. Oh, yeah, no politics, sorry. No politics, all right? Actually, last time you were on, it was probably like the most anime-centric podcast we'd had in like the history of trash taste.

It was also the most like heated podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. I have never got as much shit in my life as when from the episode you were on when I said, One Piece is political. I got to make fun of so much. No, no, no, no, it was the opposite. You're like, One Piece isn't political. Oh, right, right.

It's gum man having fun. Obviously, I knew there was politics. I was just played devil's African. I got a clown. I got a clown. But I mean, I know, I know. But how you been? I enjoyed Japan.

Amazing. That's shy. Like, you'd let us sit. He just had to ruminate how good it is. But you stream a lot, you know, in your room and you're still going out and doing stuff, which is pretty impressive. Because if I was streaming in the morning, I'm fucking doing nothing. Yeah, no.

I wake up at 4 a.m. every morning. That's what. This sounds like the fucking grind set videos. Yeah. You are on the gym. I wake up 4 a.m. That's, you know what? That's not even wrong.

Like, it is funny. because I make fun of those guys all the time, but I kind of do live that lifestyle a little bit. Like I do wait, I mean, for Japan, I wake up before I am, which is like an hour later than when I normally would start anyway. Like 4 a.m.

Just kept the same sleep schedule, basically. Basically the same, well, I kept no sleep schedule. Okay. But I wake up a four and then I start streaming at fives because I do got to do a little bit of research beforehand. And then between like five to eight, I'm just doing my like regular broadcast to 10 sometimes. Okay.

And then after that I do like an IRL portion where I'll go out like today we went and we learned the, you know, we did a little bit of Kendo and some Shito. It's a good time of year to do it because those dojoos get fucking hot and so. Yeah. Yeah. They often don't have AC because like Warriors don't need AC. Yeah. I think warriors do need AC actually sometimes. Or sometimes you put on like whatever they get the equipment they give you.

It can smell the stale sweats. It was amazing. I especially love the like the Tussamer Mass and whatever like we've we've done that before like cutting that stuff but I especially love the the Kendo portion like we actually he gave us like these these like bouncy ones yeah and you and he made me fight him too and he beat my ass yeah yeah like impossible to hit them that's yeah I hit him like twice and that's it like I'm riding on that but he cooked me every time he would just go yeah I think I yeah we we we we we just go yeah we we we we we we We did one where we went against like the university champion. University champion of Japan. And we could even touch it. Bro was on like permanent eye frames. Like we just couldn't.

Yeah, we we really hit you four times where you could even process what happened. Yeah, we literally went full Ipman. We went like one V3. Yeah, we lost. And we lost by quite a margin. Yeah, when you watch that hitman, you watch him beat 10 dudes,

you're like fucking unrealistic. And then when you actually get put against somebody's good, you're like, no, that's super real. I couldn't get a fucking inch on that guy. He was like teleporting behind us. It was insane. Yeah, there was this one moment where,

Because did you have the little balloons that you had to hear or was it just like... No, no, we're just straight up. We're whacking each other. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With these, like, it's like, it's not plastic. I don't know what it is. It's like a mat almost.

Like, it's like matted. Oh, okay. And you just... The bamboo swords or no, no, no. Oh, okay. That would be crazy. Because we use the bamboo swords. Yeah.

And that's quite heavy. You're like the chambara swords. I think that's what they call. Yeah, it's like the padded ones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And, and, uh, the red side is like supposed to be the side that is like the, you know.

The cutting side. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He just busted my ass. Just straight up.

There was a dude. So we livestreamed all of it, but it's really funny. There was some random dude that was also getting training that day. Yeah. So he just trained with us in this tiny ass dojo. And it's so funny because the dude was just so bad. Like, just so ass. Like he couldn't hold the sword.

No, I think it was... He might have been Japanese, actually, but he was in from like Hong Kong or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was, it at least made me look better, so I was like, oh, thank God, this dude is here. I don't think this guy's gonna go home and be like, shit, that guy has potential.

Yeah, he's telling his wife over dinner, he's got something, he's got something. I don't think that was, yeah, he's not gonna recruit. Yeah, he was brutal too. He was like very, he was ruthless and honest. He was just like, you're bad. Like, it was shocking. Yeah, he tried to tell me like, you know, some good, some bad.

Okay, that's what he said to me. At least he's being honest. At the end of it, yeah, yeah, because I was really bad at the cutting part especially. I was just like, I, you know. Oh, with the real swords. Yeah, with the real swords. It's all about the angle. It's all about the angle, right?

Because I, yeah, because I kept whacking it sideways. Yeah. Over and over again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you guys ever flown like the tatami mat, like, in its entirety? What do you mean? Have you ever seen, like, the base of the mat also fly? Ah, no.

base of the mat that is supposed to stay as the standing structure. Oh, like that the wooden structure? Oh, did you fucking hit it? I hit it so hard twice. It flew both times and the sword bent so significantly that the instructor had to stop and rebend it. He just fucked it up that, man. Oh my God.

This has been in my, this source has been my family for 400 years. Like this sword has been through like, you know, two atom bombs. Yeah. And you broke it. Why? Why were you like fucking old tiny? show hanged shit. Like,

baseball? Yeah. It's just whacking it. Oh my Lord. I tried to move forces like the Baka-Gaijin than I am.

And it just, it went to very weird places. God damn. Speaking of which, I asked you guys this before the podcast, but I was wondering if having a framed

portrait of former Emperor Hirohito is normal? No. In fact, massive red flag. It is not normal. Most people don't look on that era fondly. Yeah. So second question for that, then follow up question.

What if it also is like next to a shrine that I may or may not have taken a photo in front of? Okay. It's on my Twitter if you want to pull it up. Yeah, yeah. We can go through the picture because we have no idea what we're looking at. Like how serious of a shrine are we talking about? I feel like I can show you a picture of a bunch of Japanese people. You'd be like, I don't know.

The moment you see her here too, I feel like you'd lock in. No, no, that's, you, you have to be logged in to see it. Oh, yeah, that's the one. That's the one. Oh, yeah, that's, oh, oh, oh. So I saw the black and white photo and I was like, well, that's a weird time to, you know, who knows? Maybe. Yeah.

I mean, okay, look, to come to the defense of this dojo, I think most dojos dojos do have shrines attached to them. Yeah, most of them have shrines. So it might just be, I don't think this is a shrine to Hirahito. I just, the placement was just kind of inconvenient, I think. Yeah, yeah. There's so much like cultural meaning in like Bushido and, well, Bushido, more so like Kendo.

Kendo, there's so many, like, rituals that you do during the sport. Yeah. And so I think this is just unfortunately placed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, should they have a thing of Hirohito? I mean, there's three other walls they could have chosen to put that up. Yeah. I don't know what was going on.

I loved the experience. The guy was awesome. Yeah, yeah. dope dude um but then you know i i looked back at it i was like was that no like a double take like what the that's a crazy photo that you just have there yeah i mean yeah yeah i mean there's a there's a lot of stuff like that in japan where you look you're like huh like there's that that very famous shrine with all the lights that has a bunch of uh like i guess convicted like war criminals that are on it on the names of the shrine oh yeah

oh yeah yeah like that so like there's unfortunately a lot of stuff like that where you're you're like, there's a lot of vocal, like, against it, but there's also concerning about people who are like, no, we like it. Yeah, whenever I see just stuff like this, I'm kind of just like, you know what, I'm just not going to ask questions. Yeah.

It's like, is it my place to get involved and fucking have an opinion on this? I don't get a fuck. It's like, you know, they can handle it. Yeah. Yeah. Because it doesn't get too out of hand. Well, especially you. I think I should have it.

Okay. As a Welshman, as a, as a brid, you know, coming into Japan and being like, what's up with that? It's messed up I can't agree the shit right? Like when people like

when people try to tell me like do this terrible things around like bro what am I going to do about it? I'm just trying to get my taxes paid man I'm just not deal with it I look no disrespect I didn't mean any disrespect if you see this you know

I love the experience It would certainly raise an eyebrow I would certainly raise an eyebrow I didn't even think about it just post it up you know and I was wondering if it's like a normal thing to have in places I mean, look, I'm sure this place isn't the only place that has stuff like this, obviously,

because a lot of Japan has a much more older demographic. They were there. They saw it. Yeah. I mean, maybe. I don't fucking know. I think this, in this instance, is just unfortunate placement. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. At least you enjoy the experience. Yeah. I learned the techniques that the Imperial Army also learned, apparently. Is that how we explained it? Yes. You'll be happy, no.

You're ready to go to war. I sometimes wake up and I just remind you that's how you were like, yeah, my grandad told me about World War II, and you were like, oh, yeah. And then you were like, the Japanese side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the very Japanese side. Yeah.

And I'm just there like, oh, this is a bit different to what I want in school. Make you think, huh. Make you think, huh. All right. What else about Japan? Have you been enjoying this time? Or experience.

Yeah, how long have you been here? I don't even know, dude. My days are nonstop go. So I don't even, I think I've been here. Yeah, I've been here's like the 23rd to 24th, I think. I don't even know. But I haven't really, I haven't really done like anything super crazy yet. I guess we went to a magic bar that was pretty sick.

Nice. We caught our own fish at the, at the restaurant, the classic restaurant. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Right next to children are catching their fish. Yeah. Yeah. And I also went to the one piece gym. Yeah.

And the one in Sharia? Yeah, it was a little bit underwhelming. It's a very nice gym. Yeah, there's a one-piece gym. Yeah, there's a one-piece gym. Wait, did they let you stream that? Like, you just rocked up and they didn't say anything.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. I've never been here because I thought, I didn't know if you needed a membership or something. No, so, okay. I'm never even seen this. Yeah. Yeah, so what I got to happen with this gym is,

um, I think initially when it opened, you did need a membership. Right. Uh, problem is no one went. Yeah. It's kind of awkward to get into that elevator as well. It's kind of hard to find. Where is it?

Literally, you know like where the Starbucks and the 109, you turn at the Starbucks, go right, go up a little bit, and it's right there. It's the ninth floor of that like big mall. Yeah, and okay. It's very visible as well, so I found it because I was just walking around Shibby, I was like, is that a fucking one-piece gym right there?

Really, it's visible? I feel like you can't see anything about outside. Am I crazy? I, is this a different one to the one I saw? Because I- No, no, this is the top floor. It's like the top of the, yeah, so. And they, yeah, because there's nothing outside. Okay, so it's right there.

Okay. So used to be a membership and then they changed it to day pass because I guess they were struggling to get customers because I've been there three or four times. Yeah. It's empty. It was empty. It's empty every single time I think of it.

Except for the one Hansanabe had that showed up because we were streaming. Okay, okay. If you like One Piece and you go there for the One Piece, it's quite underwhelming. Yeah. But as a gym, it's pretty good. It's a really nice gym. It's very clean.

It's a really nice gym. Everything's brand new. Yeah, everything's brand new. The equipment is untouched, basically. And you know, you got the currency as the weights and stuff too, which is cool. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. But there's not a whole lot of one piece.

Not a whole lot of one piece. That's number one. And number two, I went with four other people that either don't know what anime is at all. Okay. I went with Austin who does not watch anime, doesn't understand it. He's like, as a child stuff, right? Yeah. cartoons.

Um, another person who, uh, gets laid frequently and also doesn't know what anime is. Okay. What does it happen? Okay. And then, um, and then Will and March who are massive anime heads, but don't fuck with one piece. Right. Right.

So I like it to, have you ever like listen to a, a song that you really like? And then you show it to your friend or a YouTube video that you watched that you really enjoy it and you show it to a friend and they're not fucking with it at all. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And just Joey's and Todd music. And then you just like start feeling the like crippling anxiety because you're like, oh, they don't like it. That's how I felt when going into the one piece gym.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like later he's look at the car and see and go, wow, it's the thing. Oh, it's the berry. And I think because there wasn't like a lot of one piece like related activities there, I wasn't also super into into it either. So like, it's like, it's like kind of awkward. But it's a very nice gym. The machines are good. Yeah.

Very nice gym. It's very clean. Yeah, if you are a foreigner in Japan, it's, because not every gym has day passes in Japan. Anytime fitness doesn't do day passes. Yeah, it's always a membership. So you just got to go to the One Piece gym. Then you can use it. And Gold's gym allows you to do it, but it's kind of complicated.

You have to bring your passport and shit. I might go check this out. But this is a good, good day gym. Is this the only one? Because I swear I saw this in a building, and that's how I found out about the One Piece gym. It might have been, yeah. It was this one. Because like, because.

I think this gym is like a different gym initially, like Braggman, I think is like the actual gym. But then they got the one piece IP maybe like there's an oda signature on the wall. There's things all the all the voice actors and stuff. Damn. Yeah. It's it's a very good just straight up gym. Okay. Okay.

As a one piece like museum. If you're expecting that. Yeah, yeah. That's what I was expecting. Yeah. I was expecting like, you know, one piece related activities. But there's like, you know, there's like, you know, there's. They give you a,

they give you, what do you call it? Fuck, one piece protein powder. Yeah. Oh shit, okay. Yeah, later, yeah. I got, yeah, I wanted to get visitor A,

but they didn't have a class. And I thought, like, the class would be one piece related. They do, they do have a lot of classes, normally, right? I think you have to book, and I think they are one piece related. Yeah, I did the B one.

And also, also, if you're a resident in Japan, you get one free visit. Oh. Oh. There you go then. Yeah, I should have sorted that out. And they were like, oh, this one's free. I was like, okay.

That's sick. I was like, awesome. But the one thing about Japan is that the gyms are quite expensive, I feel like, in comparison to these states. My gym membership, anytime fitness, is like 55 bucks a month. Just a basic-ass gym membership. Bro, I live in L.A. Like, that's...

Dude. Yeah. 55 bucks a month is not that expensive for gym. What? Okay, L.A. is ridiculous. Yeah. But, like, in London, I paid like 10 pounds. Yeah.

Gyms are normally really cheap. Yeah, they're usually, like, you know, 10 to 20 bucks. 20, 20, 30 bucks. Also, inflation, my man, I don't think America is, is that cheap anymore. The gym members of business. Yeah. Yeah, true. Well, how much is like a day pass if you rock up to your gym? Is it like 30 bucks? That's not too bad. I mean, that's still less than that. It depends, though. If you go to like an equinox, I think the day pass like probably a hundred bucks or something. God, damn. But that's like a spa, right? Yeah. Yeah. I feel like this is more of just

tourist attractions. Yeah. Of course. So, surely. Are you, you know, how is it being in Japan, not able to work out very much or do you make do it's fine i mean i wanted to i wanted to i wanted to ball up like i brought my basketball shoes oh oh shit like i i actually wanted to go out and play basketball and like you know don't got some fools out here but i also did hit up this dude named yoske he played pro ball out here he has a ticot account where he goes and plays outside and i've done even like uh like a ticot uh about him before and he did not respond to my dms at all. He was not fucking with me.

Yeah. He was not fucking with me at all. He had to have the heat. Yeah. He's like, no, I'm not touching this guy. So. So, yeah, I wanted to go play basketball with him, but

you know, outside of that, every day we do like something physical anyway. So that's good. And you're pretty doing a lot of walking. Yeah. Doesn't matter. You end up doing a lot. I don't, I haven't really seen a lot of, maybe you would know more than me.

I haven't really seen a lot of, just like open basketball courts in Tokyo. There's the one in New Yorkie court, which, um, uh, a good friend, a friend of ours goes to every week. Yeah, yeah. And they ball, they ball like once a week, I think. I know who you're talking about. You do?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, he does go there. He goes to the same one that my friend goes to. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, because the only other basketball places I know would be like a spotcher, where it's like, not even like a proper basketball.

I feel like when you want a bar, is it a basketball bar? No, no, no, it's like, it's connected to round one, the big arcade. And some of the bigger round ones have this other facility called Spotcha, which is like an outdoor kind of like... It's kind of like a sports facility, but it's more... Yeah. And there's like, and a lot of them are kind of like on the roofs out in the open, and there's like tennis courts, basketball courts.

Oh, I got it. It's like a playground for like... Yeah, and it's really... This is we... Oh, this is an amazing stream idea. Yeah. And it's like, and you pay like, I think it's like two... thousand yen for a half day pass and you can do whatever you want.

Wow. Yeah, that's a good way. It's basically a sports arcade. So you don't get like full courts. It's more of just like little little itty bits of like archery and you can do like indoor rollerblading. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a ton of them around. Okay. Yeah. We also, oh, I forgot. There was actually one day where we did something crazy. We went to a fight club. Oh, you go to that bar? Yeah. Should we get a fight club bar? We talked about the other. Yeah. Which is literally yeah, it's a bar first of all, which is Did you go in the morning or the evening? No, we went in like there in the day. Oh, it's like a gym during the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Will is training for boxing. So he wanted to do some boxing training. And we went there and we walk in and no one's like the only dudes that are there are not like management or anything.

They just leave it open for the record, which is crazy. Yeah. And it was just a bunch of like tattooed naked dudes like throwing hands. and training, and I think it was like a pro boxer that was training in there as well. And they don't speak a lick of English. We don't speak any Japanese. We walk in and they were like kind of hostile at first.

They were like, what the fuck are you doing here? And we had like a little showdown almost. But, you know, it ended up being fine because the management was like, oh, no, these guys are good. They're fine. And we fought in there as well. Like we, you know, we hit the pads a little bit. If you gather in the evening, it's a ball.

Do people fight after? Yeah, yeah, people fight. Anyone can go fight. You can watch people fight. Yeah. You can be like a drunk man and be like, I want to fight someone. It's literally like, it's literally like Japanese businessmen who can't drink a little bit and then they're like square off. I like watch two Japanese business events like punch each other very badly.

But they are just like, they were just like slapping each other around. No way. It's a bar. No, I saw that. I thought it was weird that it was like a bar. I thought it was a gym. It's like a bar and then you can just rock up and be like, I want to fight someone. And then they'll let you fight someone.

And you just go up to a random person in the bar being like, you want to square up and they're like, okay. Yeah, two drunk people. He's gonna go back to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can see the cogs turning right now. Dude, I do want to go back. If I tell Will this, he's gonna go back.

Like, you're not, like, the vibe I come on. It's like not meant for like, if you're, I think if you start fighting and you start doing shit like that, I think they kick you out. Oh, like if you're too good. If you're trying to beat someone up, I think they'll be like, whoa. Yeah, it's, it's more.

It's one though. You fucking, you're catching with a. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Health and safety standards here are a little bit more lax compared to the West. Very lax. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's more of just like, okay, we trust you to not to feel the vibe and not try to kill each other.

If you just want to go out. Friendly fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a friendly fight. Go to check it out. Yeah, that's crazy. Imagine just like a dude beating on a salary man. He's like a real fighter. That would be insane.

I mean, a train fighter. He's just like another gin and tonic place. So do I go to jail if I do beat the shit out of a salary man? What's happening? Well, it depends how hard you beat the shit out of my case. Do you want to beat the shit out of his salary? He's already getting beaten up by capital. You should let him win.

So when he goes to work, he's going to feel fucking unstoppable. It's like I, I fucking, I took down a fucking man. I took down a beast. Like an episode of like Bakke or something shit, man. I was not taking down. Yeah, yeah. I was going to sing to the great. That's so funny.

Kind of like that idea even better. Just like you pretend to give it all. Permanently alter like a Japanese sailor man's life by losing him. Make him believe he's a Dragon Ball character for a night. You probably go in next week and they get his ass handed. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, a fucking iPad did shit.

I can't believe you went there during the day. It's so funny and coincidental. We just spoke about it last week. Yeah. I mean, we went to like actually, because we thought it was a real, like, jip. It is a real gym. No, it is. It is during the day.

It is during the day. The backside is like straight up. They got mass. It's so weird. Yeah. How did you find it? Or were you just like, looking around? We have a fixer out here who like lives out here and she's just been like setting everything up for us.

She's calling in vance and getting everything. Yeah. That's really good. Wow. Yeah. That's impressive. Yeah. A lot of these places sometimes they're a bit.

They're like, why do you want to film? And they make you like promise to a million and one things. Yeah. But not a little of flexibility. We've had tremendous luck so far with all of that. That's right. That's right. Yeah.

And even better than like last time basically where we were just like kind of patching stuff up last second. Because of because of my friend who's just like setting everything up, the problem is, you know, we don't speak Japanese. Yeah. So when she's not rolling with us, we're just kind of walk in their Baca Gaija style. And everyone's just like, what are you guys doing? What's happening? Yeah. Because whenever you come to Japan.

like, hey man, I'm coming in February. And I'm like, okay, that's useless to me, unless you tell me which days are like free so I can help you arrange. Okay, you are the busiest man in Japan, dude. Okay, that's crazy. That's a great title, by the way. I'm gonna take that.

The busy's man in Japan. Yeah. I'll ask you like what you're doing. If I ask you right now, we're doing like two and a half weeks from now at 2 p.m. I feel like you have a booked up already. Or he hates me and he's just lying. No, no, no.

No, no. No, no. It's just. I'm busy. You know when you come to Japan, then I feel like, because you wanna know, like you wanna be like, I'm roughly here

and you wanna kinda like roll with the punches. Whereas I'm like, I need to know, like 90 to two, what are you doing? I need to pencil you. I need to fucking know the time because how things work here in Japan. People don't, people don't rock up. Yeah, I feel like the vibe in LA is just like,

all right. Psychopaths in LA. It's like, it's like, I schedule shit. Yeah. None of you schedule anything. You're just, you're just like, all right, I'll know if this guy's showing up

one hour before we, before this Big event. You know, turn up at three. I turn up at three, I'm the only fucking morrow shirt up at three. Everyone shows up at 350. Yeah, you can't be punctual. That's silly.

That's great. Yeah. Versing the complete opposite here, I think. Yeah. We have not been punctual. I mean, I was late to this as well. Yeah. We actually accounted for that.

Yeah, yeah. I was gonna be 20 minutes later. So we were like, oh, if we start, if we do another episode before Hassan shows, we start at 1.30, ah, but we might run over. He's not gonna show. Yeah. LA time.

L.A. time. In fairness, in fairness, like, the cab actually took me to the wrong place. You got to count for that. They don't take that excuse. And what ended up happening was, like, I knew roughly where the building is. And I, like, was ready to get out. And he just kept going. But then I was like, I didn't want to embarrass him.

Because I was like, oh, maybe he's going to do a U-turn. Maybe he's going to do this U-turn. Okay, that's like the eighth U-turn he didn't take. He's not going to the. address, what is happening? And he just like finally arrives at this place is like five minutes away. And I'm like, this is the wrong address. I have to confront him now. And it's like this old man and I didn't want to tell him that he was wrong. Yeah. So I thought about like, do I get out and just walk? But I was so late already that I was like, I can't. I have to tell him. So I was like,

I was like, this. I was like, the address. And he took my phone. And he. And he's like, They just, and he just, like, looked at my Google Maps and, you know, whipped it back. Yeah, yeah. So if you've been late to any other stuff, did you get any, like, were they annoyed at you at all? Or they're kind of okay? No. Oh, you're very lucky. I've had some places where they got, like, genuinely so annoyed.

Yeah. Or maybe I'm just a little oblivious. I feel like they make it known, though. They're, like, very open about it when they're not happy about it. Yeah, you feel it. Yeah. Or maybe. Nissan doesn't know.

Oh, man. I genuinely don't know, but, like. I guess it doesn't matter if you get what you need to. and that you get paid and it's all set and done. Yeah. But what else have been up to you or planning to do? Yeah, how many activities you go plans? Every day, much.

We're going to work in a maid cafe. It's basically, when I come to Japan, I just do Connor videos. But like live. Yeah, and with much less production value. There's so much awkward downtime in a lot of these videos. People don't appreciate that we have to like cut out and work around. Whereas on the stream, you kind of, like I change your stream in a maid cafe. Most of the time it's just like, I think either you're like,

you're doing so many things in one go or you're waiting for the next thing to happen. Yeah. And so I feel like that's often, I feel like that's why I love this puts it better as videos unless you can really structure it a bit more. No, we try to like gamify everything. Yeah, which I think it helps a lot.

Yeah. And also I talked to I Show Speed's team when he was at the streamer awards. And like basically, because I look at his format and it's really good. where he's just always on. Like, he's always doing something, right? Yeah.

So the thing is, the trick is, from what I understand, you just line up like four things in a row. And if something is getting stale, immediately move on to the next thing. You just like put it back to back to back to back to back. And you just like move on to the next thing. So you're always, you're always doing something. Dude, if you sold like a place in Japan,

you're like, hey, I'm going to turn up and I'll be there from five to four, five to six. And you left like five 30. They'd be like on the ground apologizing. Oh, did I? Did we do something wrong? Yeah. Was it not good enough?

It's yeah, it's, it's, there's a lot of like niceties you to keep up, which, yeah. It's almost a little too punctual in that out. Yeah. If you promised to be there between five to six, they expect you to leave at six.

I, I did like this video series where I like bought like the cheapest hotel rooms in Japan to like review. And I would just go in and, you know, sometimes I wouldn't stay in them. Oh no. Because they were like 20 bucks.

Yeah. I just wanted to see if the room was as bad as everyone was saying on the review, right? Yeah. Because I live in tickets. I'm not going to sleep. in the room. It's like 20 bucks. So I'll go in. I'll film my video and after an hour I'll walk out. And like one time they literally followed me out the building to like like freaking out,

panicking being like, is everything okay? Like yeah, it's fine. It's like, why are you not saying? Where are you going? I was like, I'm done with the room. I don't know how to properly convey it. I don't want to say I was filming the room. I feel like that's kind of weird as well. They might feel like, what are you doing a porno? Like we're back it off in the room. I was like, yeah, I'm just, I'm done. Don't anymore. If you're operating at $20 a night hotel that's like dog shit, though, you probably kind of know that people are going to be upset. That'd be a whole lot of apologizing every day.

There's so much apologizing. And I felt super intense about it. I was like, dude, I just, just let me leave. I'm checking out. I gave you the key. I didn't even use the room. Be happy. It's cleaned.

What's work for you guys? They didn't think that. I mean, yeah, they thought they fucked up. Sure, for sure. Some, some. They thought you were jerks. working off in there for sure. Probably.

I remember, like, damn, that was quick. It was the first time we did it. It was like the worst hotel room we ever stayed in Japan. It was in. That's why when I passed the love hotel, there was a photo of you outside. This is... Don't let him in. Don't let this guy in.

He goes in and he masturbates in the room and leaves. He's a serial master. Oh, my God. We entered one and Chris, when we and Chris had decided, we were like, we got to get a new hotel. It was that bad. It was disgusting. There was blood on the bed.

There was, there was, like, absolutely filth underneath the bed. The walls smelled horrible. It was completely disgusting. And as we were in this hotel room, we just saw women being in dresses being shuttled in and out of the hotel, like, every 30 minutes. That's one of those, eh? And me and Chris were like, we're like, we're like, we got to leave. But Chris, being so British, he was like, what are we going to tell him?

I was like, we don't fucking tell them anything. We just fucking, just leave the keys and we check out and we leave. He said, that is very American of you. Yeah, I think so. Yeah,

that's a very American attitude. That's what I would do. I'd be like, I'm done. He was like, no, no, we have to have a good excuse.

He's like, I'll tell him I have a serious business meeting until I have to get to. He's like working up a whole backstory, like a character. Yeah, yeah, he thought you guys had gay sex. Yeah,

probably. Probably. Probably. Which I'm okay with them thinking. Yeah. Yeah. Like, So what?

Like, what are they gonna do about it? That's what Chris should have said. It's like, we're finished. Yeah. It was a quick session. We're done with the room. Yeah, we're done with her. You can clean it now.

I think after this, and so like, he like wanted me to do it. And I was like, no, you do it. I'm not doing it, you're in our room. That's the most Chris thing to us. Oh my God. Yeah. But yeah, so he goes down and I watch him

kind of sell this story to this old man. who doesn't give a fuck. He is literally watching the Yakuza shuttle in women by the Alphard load. Like there's six women coming in every 20 minute. He does not give a fuck. He knows what's going on this hotel.

As long as he gets the money, he's cool. And so Chris is telling him like this story and the old man's like, but like it took Chris like an hour and a half to build himself up. I watched him like, I was like, we're leaving. We're not staying in this room.

And he was like, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. And I could watch him slowly try to convince himself that the room is good enough to sleep in. He'd be like lie on the bed and go, like, sit down on his laptop and he'd go like, like, as if something had fell on him. And I was like, Chris, when are we leaving? It's 9 for 30 p.

We need to get another hotel room. We should just come on. Come on. God. And eventually he'd leave. I got some other cool stuff that I got a line of as well. All right. He's coming to me now.

Okay. One, I got access to the Japanese Communist Party. and I'm going to go and live stream their headquarters which is a crazy thing to say because that shit is so secretive in Japan yes how the fuck it's good

that's it baby if you chef never reveals the secret I'm that guy it might be the last live stream I'm that guy no I um yeah I

we really loved the Bernie Sanders interview that I did so they were like oh yeah okay we'll do it like because they thought I thought it was super sick because it was right around the time where I had interviewed Bernie like a couple days prior to it. And they were super on board with it after that. But there are somewhat secretive. Yeah. Somewhat. Yeah.

Someone secretive. And, you know, it's really cool. I'm very excited to go see what they're about. Good luck. There's some other interviews that I have lined up as well. There's a guy who did a documentary on Shinzo Abe's shooter, assassin. Okay. Is this going to be your last trip in Japan?

You go for the greatest sense. Oh my God. Might not be wrong about this. This guy is, I don't even know if I just say this. Well, I mean, he's a filmmaker as well, but he is a former Japanese Red Army member. Okay.

Yeah. So he was in prison for a couple years. Yeah, right. For his. I'm not even surprised. You just meet up with it. What are you going to mean? up next with the resurrected corpse of Hirohito?

No, but like, I mean, that's different. Like these are, these guys are like the, the, um, the people that went in like, actually fought alongside in Lebanon, like fought against Israel and Lebanon, uh, with the popular front for the liberation of Palestine. So I'm like, I'm really stoked to, to see, like, the fascinating, uh, side of the Japanese politics that is just like so far left, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, it's, I mean, I think, I mean, I think, I think the current sentiment is just don't,

like a lot of people are like, yeah, just don't rock the boat, just don't. Yeah. I mean, that's just Japanese culture in general, right? Yeah, I think it kind of extends to that, which is why you don't really hear a lot about the politics here. Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to rock the boat. I'm just, yeah, yeah.

It's interesting to see you go through all of it. I don't have much interest to explore these things. You don't want to interview a former Japanese with an army? No. Okay. Yeah, I'll leave that out to you. I like, I like, I'll say.

Also, our visa depends on it as well. Oh, that's true. Yeah. It would have looked great for us. My citizen should depend on me. That's something I'm a little worried about too. Like if they just say like, oh, you interviewed a terrorist, a former, alleged terrorist. Like that's.

Backped on a century. Former alleged. I mean, he went to prison for it. I recognize that like, you know, someone has to talk to these people and hear these stories and strad them. Yeah. You know, and more power to those people who do. Yeah. I think I'm good.

Yeah. It is, it's just like it's fascinating to me because of part of the reason why is fascinating. because of what you just said, which is that, like, I want to know what makes Japanese politics tick. You know what I mean? I mean, used to be very extreme back in the 70s, 50s. Yeah.

These are the guys that were very, very extreme. Yeah. We're very extreme. Yeah. God damn. Well, yeah, I mean, because we spoke about it quite a while back, but you remember that guy who,

he's piecing out. He's like, yeah, it was the guy who bombed. Were you supposed it at the podcast? Now we're just like, all right, he's going to do the toilet. It was the guy who had bombed the Mitsubishi headquarters.

or one of the buildings. And then he was on the run for like, I don't know, 60 years. And then on his deathbed, he was like, I'm the guy. And he died. That's crazy. Yeah. He, like, lied his entire life about who he was and changed identity. And then, yeah, he was like, right on his deathbed.

How the hell did he evade the authorities for that? Oh, that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At that point, you got to let him go. It's like, come on, bro. That's crazy. Seeks the year on the lamb. So, yeah.

I think it was, and he was, they were like actively, not actively, but like, his wanted posters were up for, like forever. Why did he have, he had a radical left-wing organization believed to be behind several bombings in his companies in Japan's capital between 19702 and 1975. Eight people were killed and one attack committed

by the group at the headquarters of the mission. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He claimed to be the person.

I don't know. He could have been a troll, which as a troll, my goodness. Yeah, it was very interesting. Yeah, this person, yeah. Wow. That's wild. After 50 years in hospital, he was like, that's me. That's crazy.

Sounds like a... Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like a fictional plot, but... Yeah, it was insane. Yeah, he literally was like, tell the police, my last will is to be known who I, what I was.

It was crazy. He lived like a normal life. What do you use? He just worked in the countryside. Like, what did it think he changed his name and worked in the countryside. Yeah. Yeah, he faked everything.

And then, yeah, last minute, he was just like, I'm about to peace out. Because now it's pretty hard to work. without documentation, but as far as I understand, back that it was a little, quite a lot easier to get these kind of jobs and do this kind of work. Well, it's also because, you know, a lot of Japan just has that, like, trust system.

Yeah, of course. I mean, a normal person won't fake their name. If you rock up and you work and you're an honest worker, you know, you'll get money in a house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The other, well, yeah, unless you're a foreigner. Well, you get a place to stay. You might not get the money part, though.

Yeah. Um, the, uh, I mean, this is, this is, this is exactly the type of person that I wanna, uh, would, you know, try to figure out what the hell going on, you know what I mean? But I think that's part of the reason why there aren't as many trash cans in places. That was there. That's the 90s, right? Well, that's the, the omission RICO. Yeah, sarongass attacks. Yeah. Anthrax, right? No, like a type of anthrax, right? I know what it is in Japanese. I don't know what it is in the solution. Yeah, that whole

issue was insane as well. Yeah. And that's the reason why it's a fucking convenient for a trash can. that. Yeah, they don't do half measures in Japan, it seems. They go all the way. Yeah. Well, they're making work, though. They're making work. Nothing is half measures. Yeah, no. Which is good because stuff works. Yeah. It's right while we're looking at the Mitsubishi bombing. That wasn't good. That wasn't good. Yeah, no. Neither was a Tokyo subway sarin attack. Yeah. No, exactly. No. But, yeah, that was, oh my God, a thousand people injured in 14. That Jesus Christ. Yeah. I mean, I think that. I think that. I think that also shook up Tokyo

just because of the people who did it, which is like very uncharacteristic, I think of what was expected of, you know. Well, the 90s in Japan, there was like a huge, like just, there was a lot of cults. Yeah, they were all like, the top universities. Yeah, yeah.

So, like the smartest minds. Yeah. I interviewed a guy who was not part of this cult, but was part of like a rival cult to this called Happy Science. Oh, yeah. Happy science is- That's the one with the anime.

Yeah, yeah. I don't think they were a rival though, right? They were just like a cult that was just also. Well, they were, well, those two cults, the Omshirinkio and Happy Science were like the big two cults, like the most powerful cults. Doesn't that cult also have like an anime out or a band manga?

Yep, yep, they both do. That's one of the biggest ones. Yeah, yeah, no, no. Happy Science has like several anime out, which is like, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I think Sydney owns one of the manga that they... I also own the manga. You are, yeah.

That's someone that Pete did the voiceover for, I think as well on that one story. Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have seen, I think I've seen this one. Yeah, this one I've seen. This one also has a manga that go, obviously got banned.

I think it was called like, Harmageddon or something like that. That's just the guy did the fucking gas attack there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Was it that good that people would just watch the anime and be like, I'm gonna do a gas attack? No, no, no.

No, no, it was, it was a recruitment thing, obviously. And then he just kind of spiral out of control and yeah, was just like, okay, it's time to, to train. That's what he said. It's time to train. Go out there and do this attack because it's for the greater good

or some crazy shit like that. If you walk around tourist areas long enough, eventually you'll get approached by these women that have these like posters of Fuji. Yeah, the Fuji call. And they'll be like, you should come pray. You should come pray with us. I would love to go pray with them.

Just go to enough train stations and eventually you'll find them. You'll get approached. I got approached by them outside my house. Wait, they want white people to pray to? No, mostly foreigners. Yeah, they mostly target foreigners. Yeah.

Because they all speak English. They're all like fluent in English. Dude, that's awesome. They're like 60, 70. And I didn't go with them because there's three women that approached me. And they all spoke English and they were like 60, 70. And they kept trying to get me become pray with them. And I was like, I'm fucking busy.

I'm not going to fucking pray with you. Let me alone. But a friend of mine followed them. And like went to Mount Fuji? No, no. They go to a shrine. He said that was okay. but then he said like the next time they were like oh oh come to this building and come pray with us and it was like a really

fucking intense um like sermon in like a random shitty apartment in like the middle of like in japanese or in english in japanese like in like some outskirt part of jokia that's just bad branding man because like you can't have someone perfectly fluent in english bring you into the call and the sermon is in japanese i don't know what's going on i think they'd like i clearly didn't think that far ahead They try to like just make you like fucking stuck there. So like he said like, and they kept we like being really intense about like, you have to come fucking every week. You've stopped donating money.

Please help us. What if they just get like surprise when an actual foreigner is like, yeah, I'll come with you. But they like make them like some of the cults as well, like forced like marriages as well. At what point do you go to Mount Fuji? I don't know. It's more like they pray. I think something about Mount Fuji.

Do they pray to make Mount Fuji explode or something? Like what's not if I know, man. I don't know. I wonder. Like I think a lot of these cults like the message isn't nefarious. more so the energy and the intensity of which people there are. Because a lot of them believe in very mundane things. Like a lot of them are just like energy of the fucking,

the, the trees or something. But like they're super intense about it. And that's what's creepy. Wait, let me ask you this. Elijah Wood, isn't he a part of like a religion or a cult or something? Look it up. Elijah Wood cult. It's a Japanese one.

I don't keep stock of that. In Japan? Really? Yes, dude. Yes, dude. Okay, look it up. Is that why he's so half? Happy and chill.

All right. Add this to the search history. Elijah Wood. Colt. Was it Elijah Wood? I think it is Elijah or no. Was it? You came into cults.

Like he got interested in cult? No, no, no, no. It wasn't Elijah Wood then. It's maybe Orlando Bloom. It's like one of the Lord of the Rings guys, the Legulus. Was that? Oh, Orlando Bloom.

Oh, Orlando Bloom is the one of the cult. Yeah. It's a Japanese one. And I don't know if it's a cult or not. He does love, he does love Yeah Oh wow

Yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah no he is Oh Scientology Wait No no no no no no it's not It's a Japanese one I promise

Apparently I don't know who was telling me this Someone was at a sushi restaurant And Orlando Bloom walked in And was clearly like Like having a good time I'll say A little happy

Uh Or maybe it's not a little bit Or maybe it's not a lot It must have been Japanese Buddhist. Japanese Buddhist sect. SGI. I feel like cults.

How have I never heard about this? Yeah, bro. How crazy is that? Buddhism? Is that a cult? It's not, I don't know if there's a call like a sect or something. Yeah, it could be a. Yeah, I guess it's like a sect of Japanese Buddhism.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's a cult. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, Buddhism, Buddhism varies very heavily. Oh, it does. It does. There's Buddhist that are like, oh, just chill. And there's a Buddhist like, kill everything, cleanse. I mean, I mean, there are a lot of different kind of Buddhist all over the world.

Those guys are Buddhist. They did some fucking brutal. Pretty horrible stuff. But there's a, you know, this is a range. Yeah. There's a Buddhist in Japan, the ones that practiced self-mumification. You hear about that? What?

Like self-mumification. I know what the concept is. That's crazy. Yeah, they had to ban it, I think. That was pop. Like people were so into it. Japan banned self-mumification, Google it. That's a...

How many do you think self-mumify before they go? You know like the dedication? Yeah, it was outlawed in the 1879. You know how fucking dedicated you have to be to self-mumify? Because you had to starve yourself first. Yeah, soximbutz. Wait.

Yeah. It was that popping that the emperor was like, dude, stop self-mummumbifying. Yeah. How many do you think? Like 10? or like a hundred. I think it's more than that.

I think it's a medal as fuck, man. After the thousand one, they're like, we have to stop this. Everybody loves self-momifying. That's crazy. It's pretty not. Well,

I think because you would have to starve yourself so long that you would become delirious where I think it was, maybe it was easier to. Oh, once you get over the hump. I think so. Are you telling me the year? Because it was not even that they would starve themselves.

They would stop themselves in like a locked room. Like it was like dark from what I read. Yeah. It was absolutely bashing. Yeah, there's a lot of these, like, more underground sects of Buddhism like this. Like, there's another one based out, I think, in like, Kewshu or something. And they still do it where it's like they train by going into the mountains and they have to walk through the mountains. I think it's like 50 kilometers a day or something.

And essentially, you join it and then you walk through the mountains. 50 kilometers are, you know, picking up food that you find in the mountains. And supposedly from what I read, they carry around a knife with them. Because if you don't do it, then it's encouraged to. Yeah. What the hell? Because it's that intense. And it's supposed to be some kind of like spiritual cleansing.

I mean, Lord, Japan is not exactly known for having the most chillest. Yeah. That is way wilder to me than just being a hikikikomori. Like, it's like a polar officer. Go live in an internet cafe, man. What are you doing? Yeah. You really invested at Hasun Amiku or something.

something like that's just so much more normal than that that's a cult in and of the song yeah I don't practice today I hope I don't know I say confidently yeah walking through the mound's thing is still practice today surely they don't they don't sepuku though oh but surely it's a ceremonial thing you know you're like you'll make it you'll make it's encouraged so like you know obviously like health and safety and stuff but you do whenever you do go to see any of these like more um religious or more kind of traditional things you do see a lot of stuff where it is It is kind of like dangerous to some of the stuff they do for like tradition or like every year. Like all the five festivals in Japan?

Some of the five festivals. Any of those ones where they're like, oh, fuck up. The big festivals are like holding up the big things. People holding up like on the side. Oh, Mikoshi. Yeah, that's pretty dangerous. Or like some shrines that are on like insanely steep cliffs. Well, there's the, there's the really famous festival in Japan.

I forgot where it is. I think it's actually this was the last time it happened, the naked one. Oh, the one where they wear like the just the. Yeah. And they, and they, it's like two teams carrying a Bikosian, they charge at each other. Oh, no, that one's still good. Sorry. Yeah, that one's still going.

It was the naked one where they would only wear like a cloth and they would all celebrate. I think they was last year. Yeah. How do they celebrate? Everyone was just wearing a cloth. And then they would all just fucking dance and have these giant things. Isn't that what they, what the yakuza do too? Like there is a, well, not naked.

They just show the tattoos off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just walk around. That one's cool. That one's cool. That's dope as hell. Oh, no, that's happening. I think this is the last one, though, I think.

yo oh it's so close but i'm not going to be here oh yeah yeah there's maybe this different i mean there's so many random festivals in japan there are a lot of naked man festivals people love being naked yeah yeah yeah penis festival there's a penis festival as well different yeah yeah every three months it's it happens all over the country you got to do it once a year max that's too much penis but they don't mind like a lot of the history about the japanese like being okay with nudity yeah yeah chill. And it was only until America came in and kind of was like, hey, cut that out. Yeah.

Keep it in your pants. It's disgusting. Can you stop getting naked? The penis festival is great, though, because the one I went to in, uh, they did one in Aichi. Uh, you know, it would just be like a regular, you know, summer festival where, you know, that have like penis shaped like lollipops for sale and, you know, like penis shaped pendants and stuff like that.

But the kicker is that at the end of the festival, they have like a parade that they usually do, like a parade like thing. And they carry around this giant, I want to say 15 foot wooden cock They burn it No no they don't burn it What they do is they carry it down

With like a bunch of dudes Carry it down As a guy And the best part The best part is To finish off the ceremony They take the wooden penis And they stand it upright

And then people are around It's just kind of like Celebrating It's a lot of fun though It's good energy I've never seen a penis That is like So large

So large by size, yet so small at the same time. What happened there? Like, why do they make such a... Not ever, no. Be packing a son. Why do they make such a giant penis, but then also make the proportions seem as though it's like kind of small? That's a serious chode.

Am I wrong? It's like crazy. This is literally the same color as when you see a hentai that's uncensored. It's got this like same amount of detail on it. That pink or that brown. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right? Yeah. That lady's just riding it.

Yes. That's crazy. Good for her. Yeah, just loving it. Once every three months. I thought it was once a year. I didn't know it was like once every three months. Well, no, no, it's, the thing is it happens in so many parts of the country at different

times. Everybody's got to have their, dude, everyone has to have their penis festival. Yeah, of course. Because no one's having children in this. A lot of, oh, yeah. That's the real reason. Prefectures are struggling because they, you know, they used to have a lot more festivals. Obviously people were getting all this now.

A lot of them are cutting down on festivals. There's not a lot of people to do them and generally not enough interest younger generations. Yeah. We went to, when we were seeking out, the rockabillies.

Are you guys familiar with the rockabillies? I hadn't heard of this. He told me and he's like, how do you don't know about this? So Japan, as I'm sure you guys know, have like a bunch of niche microculture followers. Like you have the,

some goth people out here that are like sprind to it. You have the Cholos. Yeah. Japanese Cholos. And rockabillies are even more fascinated to me because it's like a genre that like barely exists in America is like from the 1950s, Greece Lightning era,

like greaser culture where you wear like denim jackets and leather jackets and you're like a biker and you have a big pompadour. And these guys all basically dressed that way. And at Harjuku, they go and they dance. They do the rockabilla dances every Sunday. This looks sick as fuck. It is sick.

So we were trying to figure out where they were. And there was a festival happening at the park across the street. It was a yo-yoji park? Yo-jogi Park. And it was sick. The festival was awesome. I'm surprised that there aren't more. Look at those pompados, dude.

Yeah. That's neat. I really vibe with the Japanese festivals. I think they're dope. They're very good. The Japanese is not how to fucking party. I don't know about the penis one, but this one was great. That one is actually hot.

I mean, a good thing about Japanese festivals is that they have a festival for like fucking everything. That's why. I mean, you work, work, hard, play hard. I feel like that's the Japanese mentality. Oh, definitely, yeah. When you have time to, at least. Yeah. When they do.

When they do. Look at that pomadour on the left. That's crazy. Wait, were they all like that when you're? Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah, yeah, they all dress up and they're pretty good dancers, too. They go crazy.

Was it mostly guys or women too? There's some women. Yeah. That's cool. Ladies, too. Hell yeah. All the guys, I'm guessing, from the looks of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're mostly older. I'm just, I just think it's so funny that this is like a, like a forgotten part of American culture that like no one really cares about. Like that old guy on the left right there with the white hair. Like, I saw him. He's still there. Oh, really? Yeah, he's still dance. Yeah, he's, I think he's their leader.

Yeah. He's, I feel like this era isn't like fondly talked about in a lot of American media. Yeah. I mean, I would say, Some but not that much. I would say from an Asian perspective, a lot of my uncles just love this. Like Greece was like,

at least in my family, Greece was like massive. Everyone loved that aesthetic. And even in Thailand, you know, you show this aesthetic and people still think fondly about it. So I'm not surprised that this is. I feel like they do the Cholo thing in Thailand too. And also Vietnam. Yeah, yeah.

What is Cholo? Cholo's like, like, uh, like Chicano culture, like Mexican, uh, Mexicans living in like L.A. Mexicans live in America. Like that's, they have like a specific hairstyle. That's the other thing. Dude, Japanese people love dreads, man. Oh, yeah. It's great.

It's like more than last time. Yeah, yeah. I love people like drugs. I think it's because like hip hop culture has gotten a lot bigger in Japan, especially. And just like that. American side of that culture or like, you know, the western side culture is just a lot more like celebrated now here, I guess. Yeah. Especially with younger people now that, you know, everyone has access to fucking the internet and everything like that. They're like, oh, wait, there's all these

like subcultures and microcultures outside of Japan that is like way cooler and, you know, out of the norm that you wouldn't expect here. So it's like, yeah, I want to be part of that. At that random place that I was at, like the random suburb that I was at, there was a Mexican restaurant. And in the Mexican restaurant, they were doing standing tacos. It's literally like a TikTok invention where you get a bag of Doritos and you cut it and you put like taco stuff in it like ground meat. They saw that here. They yeah. They had it in the fucking random place that I went to.

Like it was wild. But then I found out there's an American military base there. Oh, I guess. Yeah. So then that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

One of the one of my fans that came up to me in the street was telling me about how like, you know, they're getting fights all the time. Like the U.S. soldiers. Classic. Yeah. I mean, every fucking month, this thing. about Okinawa about the law groups, just doing something they shouldn't. Yeah. Yeah, the Japanese government

releases them back to America, by the way, which is so cucked. That's crazy. No, they literally do. There was a dude who was falling asleep with the wheel and just like killed a whole family and he was in Japanese prison and then the American government was like, all right, enough, come on, give him back to us. He's a brave Marine and the Japanese government is like, my bad, yeah, you can have him back.

Well, there's a big thing like that in the UK. that happened where there's a wife of a diplomat, American diplomat, drove on the wrong side of the road and ran over like a teenager and people were outraged. And obviously because the law

is that they should, like, you know, they have immunity. Obviously people were like, fuck immunity. Yeah, what do you mean? And the Americans were like, we'll take her. And then like, yeah, she just went back. Yeah.

And obviously people were like, that's pretty fucked up. Like, there should be some punishment. Jesus. Yeah, it's pretty... She got suspended jail term. And the jail term was only for eight months.

Like, that's not even that long to kill someone. Like a teenage, yeah. That's insane. That's a big thing, so. Far out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm staying here.

I'm not going back to America. Yeah. Well, if you commit a crime, they'll fucking send you back. Yeah. I think outside of the military, if you, if you commit a crime as a foreigner, they'll pretty much, like hold you and make your life miserable as possible until they deport you. Yeah.

Johnny Somali. Yeah. You know, they, like, you know, a lot of people applauded that they held him for so long, but it's kind of insane how they just like pull out a new charge right when they're done with holding him for the max amount of days.

Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of concerning a little bit. You're like, instead of deporting, they should lock his ass up. I think so too, but yeah.

Yeah. Apparently he got like one of the silliest, uh, charges that exists in the Japanese, uh, Constitution though. Obstruction of business. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Obstruction of business. We wrote this country's constitution. It's not, it's not great. A lot of damage. Business. Yes. I know that there's a big emphasis on Japanese prosecution on confessions. And yeah,

which I've heard. And again, it's conspiracy of obstruction of business. That's crazy. Yeah. That is a real law though. Yeah. And I think, wait, wasn't, was I talking to you about this? like during COVID, they couldn't shut down. Yeah, they couldn't shut down businesses. They couldn't shut down businesses because it's illegal. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they had like a naughty list.

Yeah. And they were like, they would publicly shame businesses that were open. And it mostly worked because, you know, it was Japan. And that's a very powerful motivator. But it didn't stop everyone. So a lot of places were just, you know, at the moment eight o'clock hit, which was normally the cut off, they would go, ah, cash only. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Stay open. That's right. So it was very interesting. Um, yeah, I heard and I did, I don't know if this is true. A Japanese person was telling me, they got a, they got a ticket for speeding, which is super rare in Japan, by the way, because they aren't a lot of speed cameras. Uh-huh. Um, and most people speed, um, because the speed limit is super low on the highway.

JDM, baby, cars are sick out here. Uh, yeah. So they got a speed a little bit. They got a speeding ticket. And I, I don't believe them, but this is what they told me. And they swore by it. They were like, adamant. They said when, when, when they got the ticket that they,

refuted it and said, that's not me. It was them, but they just said that wasn't me. And apparently that worked. Like even though it's their car to their license, but they didn't admit that it was them. And they said that that's not me. So what are they were just like, okay, word? I don't know, but apparently from what I've heard it,

like that they said it worked. Now we know why they don't give out too many speeding tickets. Yeah. Because apparently if you just say, nah, it's not me. Officer, that's count. You know, like something like, can you dispute Japanese speeding ticket or something? Like, I don't know. I don't know how to fuck to buy this.

Wait, so what? Like, a speeding ticket is just like a suggestion? Well, no, it's like, obviously in Japan, I think a lot of the time they rely. If you dispute the ticket and refuse to bet you'll be someone to court for a trial. Maybe not. They rely on like, I think, but the, from what I understand, like, again, I'm not a lawyer. They rely so heavily on, um, uh, you, uh, admit it, uh, confessing in Japan. Yes.

That's a huge part of the justice system. So they, it is. A lot of it is expected that you will confess. Oh, yeah, I did see that one. Yeah, the fine's also... Yeah, what? If you're like a rich person, they're, like, you know, like a 7,000, yeah. I saw a lady driving a G-wagon on the...

I mean, but it was like a Western G-wagon, but I guess that happens out here. Oh, yeah, a lot of people really... The Mercedes, like, Jeep style things are really popular. Yeah, there's a lot of left-hand drive cars now in Japan, for sure. Doesn't that mess you up? I feel like, like, it's probably better.

I wouldn't like it. I don't think I'd like it. Yeah. Driving on the wrong side of the road. I feel like the whole, the whole infrastructure is designed, so you're on the sitting on the right side of the car. Like,

you should just get used to it, right? You don't know. I guess so. You don't, you don't want a Japanese car? No. Do you drive much?

Yeah, I do. Yeah. I, uh, well, I have to drive. Why? Yeah,

there's nowhere, there's no public transportation. But, I would love a Japanese car. I want a Toyota Hillocks. Those are the best. I love Toyota. I'm trying to get a forerunner when it,

with the new one when it comes out. You got like a fucking, don't you got like a nice ass car right now? I have a Porsche, but it's a lease. But it's a lease. Okay. I leased it because I was like,

I'm going to, you know, it's an electric vehicle. No, not these though, the old ones. Oh, the old style? 1990.

1990? Yeah. Those ones? Those are so nice, dude. Wars have been won with these Okay, I know, I know And it was like

Toyota Wars Yeah, what was it? What was it? What was it? Olivia. Olivia. That's a big boy car. Dude, I love the,

the land cruisers. Yeah, that too. I see them all over here and they're so fucking cool type in Toyota Land Cruiser. They have a new one that doesn't look as cool but the older one

looks so shit. No, no, that's my, that's my favorite car. Like, that is the other. Type in like older, just type an older model. Like, yeah. Dude, people drive this It looks like, yeah, sexy.

Yeah. Something about it. It's got that 80s charm to it that I can't, I can't describe and the, you just wouldn't need this for Japan ever, but people haven't, it looks so cool. Yeah. I love Toyotas.

They're great. Yeah, they're great. They don't break. They get you where you need to go when you need to fix them, easy to fix. Yeah. Such sexy cars. I'm not a really big car guy,

but when you see an old car, you just think like, I mean, we've never really needed cars, you know. At least I've never, wherever I didn't even have my licensee. I get it. I get everywhere by metro. But sometimes you just need a car in Japan, like some areas where you just need a car. If you're out of the major cities

you kind of get it. Which is like most of Japan is out of the major cities. So you kind of limit yourself. And you can see some of the like what I think are some of the best places of Japan only by car. I agree. Yeah. I agree. And it's hard for tourists to get by as well. So it's normally

like a little bit quieter. Sure. As well. Sure. And renting a car is cheap enough here. Not as expensive as other parts. Like Europe is so expensive. You have a license, right? Yeah. Are you going to drive us around?

You want me to be your chauffeur? What do I get out of doing your chauffeur? I'll do... Do you have an international license? No. I don't. It's so easy to get one. Yeah, yeah.

Triple A and they give you one and you can drive in Japan. I just, I'm too lazy. And I'm like, oh, Congress. Why drive when I have a show show? Yeah, yeah. Just hire a car. No, no, why not? You guys would be a nightmare.

You'd every five minutes be like, pull over, man. I want to take this up. We're like, I got to get a Kampini sandwich. Listen's like, stop, I see a nice boy. Oh my God. Yeah. It'd be a nightmare. Because I want to go to like a more rural part.

That's what I want to do. You get a call them. I don't know how you're going to like have your setup. You can like move your setup everywhere so you do morning streams. No, no, no. I just want to go for like one day. You got to stay. You got to go to go to.

like a really cool remote Rio can. Nah, that's too much. What? Did they got internet there or what? Yes, they have it to that day. They got good internet. You could do a stream in one of those, like, to Tommy rooms.

Just bring a good laptop. Unless you're out like the middle of the mountains, it'll be alright. Or crazy idea, just take a holiday. Yeah. Well, when's the last time you had a holiday? When's the last time you just... I don't think of, I mean, this is it.

This is my vacation. This is not a vacation. This is not a vacation. For me, like, does your family Like, do they like, you know that meme where it's like the girl that's like screaming and like heads like tilted backwards? Please, babe. You don't have me like, babe, please. Yeah, no, they, well, I did that.

I literally did that. I went to Croatia with my family. Okay, okay, okay. And they were on a boat and I was in a hotel the whole time. No. No. I was in a hotel and then I would stream American hours. And then in the morning, I would like drive off to like wherever they were.

because they were like go to like an island or something and I would drive off to like the nearest location in Croatia and then take a separate boat to wherever they were or like sometimes

they come and pick me up from a port do you ever have that moment when you're in bed and it's like it's silent and you think is it worth it? I love it

I love it. I love it. He's married to the game. Sometimes I think sometimes I get like I feel like I assume too much and then I'll get like self-conscious or I think about it. I'll be like damn.

like do I spend enough time the people I care about I love. Will they will they will I look back at this and feel good about the time I spend working too much? No. Goddance.

No, because he doesn't have time to think about that man. No, no, it's not like that. I just worry about you. I don't want you to like

waste your life away. I've designed my life in a way where like my family I, you know, I move my mom out here like to L.A. Yeah. I moved her to Japan. So, so I see my family quite a bit.

Like I'm always around. Yeah, your brother's always at your place. I'm always around my family. So it's not like that big of a problem. So I, the moments that I'm not live, I'm spending time exclusively with loved ones. That's good.

That's good. That's good. Yeah, just fucking ship them all later. Like my dad will come out and stay with me and live with me for like, you know, three, four months out of the year. That's fair. Then I guess you're basically working and your dad's always there. which is before.

Which is the only reason why, like, I think I would want a bigger place here so I could, like, have my family. You'd move your family out here? Just like, or maybe be like, hey, come stay for two months or something. You know, because right now I don't have a place. And, you know, my parents, they,

and I think maybe your parents are the same where it's like, they don't really like being in a hotel separate from you. Because you're kind of missing out on that family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, you know, after dinner or before dinner, you get there's like two, three hours. You get to hang out and just tall and catch up.

Really? My parents are just like, give us, By us the nicest hotel. If you're like, maybe, you know, we're going away. But if they're there for an extended period of time, they want to be able to like have that community. Right. It's just like one thing that I've come to.

It's different with my parents though because they've, I mean, my mom lives here. My dad's spent like 20 plus years. There's that time and breakfast where you get to spend with a family where as I get older, I'm appreciating more and more that kind of like two hour breakfast time you get to spend together where you're obviously not going to do anything yet. Yeah.

But you just get to like sit around and chat. Yeah. Where if you have a living room, yeah. It's like maybe. God's making a coffee. I'm chilling on the couch, talking to...

You don't got a living room? I do, but it's so small that it's like, if I wanted them to stay with me, the living room would be the bedroom and then it's kind of uncomfortable. Yeah. And every time I go there, it's more and more filled.

And I have too much junk. I have so much shit. It's killing me. I get rid of it. I get rid of it, but with some genius content idea and I feel so fucking big-brained, it's clean. Boom, I guess sent a bunch of packages

or I'm filming a video that needs all these packages. Like, I'm like, fuck. Yeah, we don't have that. It's like some kind of biblical curse. Yeah. I get rid of the thing and I make more. Sisyphus.

It is hard to find space out here for sure. Like, it's tough. I mean, I mean, if you were rents here. Compared to some of the fucking LA studios I've seen is like a shoebox. Even like luxury apartments, right? You might find a place with like three rooms,

but there'll be three small rooms. And it's like, okay, so now if you want to turn on to a studio, you have to really consider what space is going to be one. Or if you want to find a house, oftentimes they just won't accept. you if you're a single dude. Because they only want couples or like married couples. Which is why Gant had a much,

God was able to find a place. And for me, they're like, single dude? Are they just like, are they doing that? Because they're like, we need you to fuck. Is that what it is? No, no, no. No. It's just, question you being like, why do you need all the space when you're by yourself? Yeah, but also from a, from, because obviously, obviously, if you're a landlord in America, whatever,

you've probably like, oh, fuck it. Yeah, whatever. You just pay the the bill. Yeah. But in Japan, they're like, I want someone who's going to stay in here for, fucking 10 years. So they don't want single people because they don't think you're going to stay back for a while, whereas a married couple, more not to move. So that's generally what I've heard. Is it true? I don't know,

but that's the case by case, I think. Yeah. So that's why Gantt was able to find a house. Yeah, I was not. Basically, I went to so many houses and they all said no. That's crazy. Yeah. It's higher. Okay, rent a girlfriend. Content idea. Do you rent a girlfriend? We marry, legally. Yeah.

It's jokes. Proper bench. So you literally rocked off the last. Like, no bitches. Okay. Could you just like lie and say. Yeah. You just lie. Yeah.

Yeah. I love just, just lie and be like, I love my, I love my Japanese national girlfriend who definitely exists and is definitely just not here. She's in Canada.

You wouldn't know her. She doesn't live here. She lives here. If it's, if it's better for the homing. Did you ever have this gone? But there's the one time. I just remembered it now where,

This guy had viewed me around a whole apartment. Yeah. And he was selling me on it. And I was sold. It looked amazing. The, the entrance to the building, like a Bond villain headquarters.

It was sick. It was so cool. And the apartment was phenomenal. I had a great balcony. I was super soul. I was like, right, tell him I'm interested. Calls up the owner.

And he's talking, and they're talking five minutes. And he goes, oh, yeah, he's a foreigner. And he goes, oh, oh, okay. Yeah, no, you can't have this place. Yeah. That's, that's happened.

That's happened a lot of times. But it was just, that one was so brutal. And in my head, I'm like, why did you bring me? Why did you not check? It's like you check. It's like you knew this beforehand. This is such a, this is such an easy phone call to have before I got here.

It is wild how, you know, that just flies. There's no. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like it's going to change though, because since, I'll say this much, since the last time I've been in Japan, this is my third time now. Yeah.

I've seen a lot of, lot more fucking white people out here. Oh, for sure. Oh, yeah. I don't like it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa. I get to say that as a white guy living here. You don't get to say that, right. Okay. Okay. I feel like that. Okay. When you show up.

Yeah. Yeah. No, this is like this. Yeah. You're trying to kick the ladder down. I'm climbing up and get out right there. Another guy's in here. Well, okay.

At least we live here, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Who's a fix? Tell me, though. How about you assimilate first? No, like I say this because like last two times I've been here, like, you know, I get stopped every now and then.

This time, it is literally like Los Angeles. Like if I, if I go out in L.A. and I'm like doing something in public. Like people constantly come up. Right, right, right. It's crazy. Maybe because we're in Shibuya a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

But even then, like last time it wasn't like this at all. Oh, I mean, 2024. I think, we talked about the last episode, it's the most amount of foreign tourists, like, ever. Yeah, it's about massive increase. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna go down. No, I think it's going on. You also are the most, fucking,

biggest, fucking tallest man, ever. You are the least discreet most of Japan. And then you also, you're not like, you know, you look very different, I think. Like, your style is very, very easy to smoke. Oh, it's like a sea of Japanese people, and then there's you, like, a tall stock of broccoli, just like,

It is wild, like how busy everything is. It's insane. 37 million just in 2024. Wow. Yeah. And it's all in Tokyo. Like everyone goes to Tokyo. It's not like America where you'll get it mixed in like New York,

you'll get Chicago, whatever. You know, it's all in Tokyo pretty much. Yeah. And the surrounding area. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Most people who fly after fly into Tokyo, maybe at the time they're flying to Osaka, but most people fly into Tokyo.

Yeah, of course. Yeah. It's all kind of running through there. But I feel like they're also, like, loosening visa restrictions and stuff now, too. Like, they keep saying that they're going to do this. They loosen visa restrictions, but it's the monkeys poor. It's like they brought out a nomadic visa because they realized that a bunch of white tech pros from San Fram were living here and remote working and not paying taxes. Because they would come for, like, three months.

Yeah. Come back, you know, and they would keep repeating. So they did a nomadic visa that was a six months visa, but you don't get a residence card. So you can't fucking do it. anything. Oh, you, you can't get a bank account. You can't get a phone number. You can't rent a place. But that's crazy. You just live here for six months. Like a non-person. But you have to, you have to pay taxes. Yeah, that's insane. Yeah, because they want to capitalize on this, but they don't want to, they know that if it's too hard to get, that it'll scare people away. But they want to do it the

Japan way, which means it'll scare people away. Yeah. People don't, people don't, like, people don't, like people are doing the three-month thing where they just come here, live for three months and leave. That's such a Japan thing though where it's like, oh, we figured out a solution to something. Oh, wait, it's just created 10 more problems. Yeah. You've just added more work in a new department. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and I think Japan is just becoming a budget tourist destination. It wasn't always like this, but since the yen just dropped, you know, everyone who comes here, it's becoming, it's becoming like, I guess the equivalent of where people used to go to Southeast Asia, where it was just like the budget place and now because of, because of the yen, this is like

the same cost of, uh, cost of travel. Yeah, it's, The only expensive thing about Japan is the flight. And everything else is so cheap. It's insane. I shouldn't be saying this. And now they're going to come. There's more. Well,

more fucking money. You know, you're rich, no one's under any illusion that you're not rich. No, but like I go to like secondhand vintage stores. I got like a like a Stein, this coat that's like,

uh, it's so sick. It's like a thousand dollar coat. And I got it for like 200 bucks. Yeah. It's insane. Yeah. You know?

So yeah, more power to the end. Or I guess less power. I don't know. They think it's going to bounce back. No, it's fine. Keep it chill. Keep a steady. I like it.

At least while on me. But it's crazy because they also, you know, they, they clearly encourage tourists to come and shop. Like, it's they, the whole like passport duty free thing. Which they're also changing the rules on. Oh, right. Yeah.

It used to be where you could get it in the shop, right? You'd get the discount right away. They'd be changing it to, you have to claim it at the airport now. Oh, yeah, that's unbearable. I will never do that. Exactly, right. Yeah, so November 1st, I think, uh,

2026. Yeah, to reduce the workload of duty-free shops, which I don't think is the case. I think they realized, it's just to discourage people won't. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just to discourage people doing it. I'm people.

I'm not going to do that either. I don't even remember to bring my passport half the time on my ass, fine. Whatever. Like, but that is impossible. And you got to wait. Because here's why the duty-free airport claiming is such an insidious process.

When you're at the airport, you want to minimize your time there. So you're never going an hour before like your actual... The line is huge. You know, and the line is massive. Yeah. So you're rushing to get to your flight. You're, you know, you don't have enough time. Yeah.

No one's claiming that. Yeah. No one's going to do this. Reduce workloads, yeah, for the duty free shots. But then they're going to increase workloads for the airport, which no one's going to go to. So now they're just wasting money there. Yeah. Well, no one's, it's just making it discouraging just as many people as possible.

Yeah, that way. No one likes being in an airport. Yeah. You know. People are going to buy shit in Japan duty free or not. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, yeah.

People just brand the stuff. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They want anime figures. Yeah. Yeah.

They're going to expand. Let them just, you know. They're going to keep going. Well, what's the best meal you've had so far? Oh. This time, we've had a, I've read a lot of decent meals. Went to a shop, show, a place that was pretty good.

But I haven't had like, dude, I still dream about that Kobe place that we went to. Oh, the beef? The freaking beef. That was good. That was good. Is it like the juicy ass like Kobe beef? Dude. That stream, we went with the Kobe tourism board.

That was like, yeah, that was the Kobe. That was pretty good. That stream where they just like kind of gave us, I guess they gave us like an allowance. or something where they let us like eat there at this restaurant? Uh, no, no, I paid for all. Oh, you pay for it. Yeah. But they like hooked everything off.

Yeah, I was more than happy to it. Yeah, it was, it was amazing. You went with the conator as well. Yeah, yeah, the corner. So, no, so we asked, the government was like, you know, like a cabinet, something like that, something affiliated with it. They were like, come show off the bars.

And I asked them, I was like, hey, do you have a Kobe beef restaurant that you recommend? It's like one of the best ones. Yeah. And then they sent us one had like 4.8 on Google. Which is insane for Japan. It was phenomenal.

It was so good. It is still, it still lives in my mind as the best wagu I've ever had. I think it's probably the best wagyu I've had as well. Yeah. And the place is phenomenal. If I ever go back to Kobe, I'm making time.

God damn. It's phenomenal. What's your favorite Japanese cuisine? Like what's your go to every time you come to you guys? Honestly, it used to be wagu, but, man,

I love Japanese curry so much. No. No. Are you serious? Yeah. Are you serious? Oh my. Like Kakoichi?

I love like Katskari. Katsuki, yeah, Katsuki, oh. Bro, Japan has so much fucking, I mean, it's bangu cuisine. Katskkar is just like the most basic one. It's fine. It's so basic, man. I agree, I understand.

I know where you're coming from. It's fair, but I just, it's just, I think, like, Indian curry used to be my favorite. Yeah. Because, like, other curries, like, like, Thai curry, I feel like it has too much like fish oil in it. You know, that's fair. So I don't eat any seafood, right?

Right. So I love, I used to love Indian curry. It was top for me, but Japanese curry is, I think, slowly taking its place right now. Wow. What's your favorite cuisine? Well, obviously, it's Thai. You know, I'm... No, no, in Japan.

In Japan. You know, if I'm like... If we go for, like, comfort food, then skim-men, you know, that's, that's, like, like untouched for me in terms of just like if I just want something cheap and cheerful that just forget what's scumman it's the ramen with the noodles yeah it's the it's the dipping it's the dipping one and it's normally a richer thicker broth as well yeah yeah very good um just try it if I would say my favorite one probably unagi unagi's phenomenal eel eel yeah barbecue I mean it tastes like me I'm telling

you I'm telling you should try I don't you eat seafood are you I just don't eat any seafood. I throw up. You are the second American I've met that that just cannot eat seafood. I can't eat any seafood. Not even like, dude, I got a, I got a rice ball earlier at the family mart.

Wrapped in seaweed. And I can't even eat that because of the seaweed. Really? Yeah, I just like. We've got to send you back. You got to send you back. You got to eat fish. Yeah, I know.

We've got to get you on it. We got to find a way. It's like some of the best seafood in the world in this country. No, I know. We've got to get you on it. We go to these like insane restaurants. Like, we have like this like, like, private sushi thing that we're doing with like this famous chef and they designed like every course

for me with meat substitutes instead that's not sushi anymore yeah no it's not but everyone else is having like you know all this yeah yeah and I'm just sitting there eating vegetables you got to try it then me did you just not grow up with it no so turkey has a lot of seafood turkey's surrounded three parts by sea I grew up with a lot of seafood my family loves eating seafood I don't know what it is, it just makes me throw up. I can't stand the smell of it, the scent of it at all. Like, you know, I don't make a big deal out of it, obviously. Like, when I go to like a seafood restaurant or whatever, I'll just like find something. Yeah. It's not the end of the world. But I just, I don't know. I just can't eat seafood. And I try. Like, there's this thing,

I think like every seven years, your palate changes or something. Yeah. It's like fake or not. I think it's try. I think it's true. Yeah. I think it's true. And I do. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, literally periodically will try. I think one of the last times I had Zeeveud was in Japan, actually, where it was like a piece of tuna, but it didn't even taste like fish at all. Yeah, it's like fatty meat. Yeah.

But, you know, that's a shame. Can't do it. Damn. Another seven years, run it back. Run it back. Have you been keeping up with any anime recently? Yes, I've been watching so much. First of all, I finally, I finished it.

Yeah, I caught up. Right on. I haven't read the manga. So I don't know. What's the anime up to? Anime is egg head. Egghead. Oh shit.

It's pretty close to the manga, right? That's why it's pretty close. Took a hiatus. Yeah. Bro. Fire arc, man. Incredible arc. Yeah.

Especially, so I can't speak on the manga, but like, Juanho was such a trek, dude. Oh my God. Yeah, I mean, it was a four-year. It was a four-year arc. Bro. Bro, it's a slog, man. I mean, for what I heard, there was arcs within the arc.

Oh, no, it was a three-three-act. if I remember correctly. Just so long? Just because it was one, it was like a major arc. And it was like the one island that was Japan style. So of course.

Of course they're like, Oda's like, all right, that's fair. I'm representing. It's the samurai island, basically. But it's just like that, you could condense so much of that, I think. Right.

Like, it's just insane how long it is. Well, I think one of the reasons it was so long because after the time skip, it felt like, it felt like so long before the entire crew had an arc where everyone got time to shine. Yeah. Because it got to a point in one piece

where the crew got so big that it took so much time. Yeah. It took too much time to like highlight everyone. Stan behavior. Yeah. So, Wano was just like,

all right, we're going to give everyone a fight. Yeah. But that's why I love it. It was too long. Yeah. Yeah. But that's why I loved Egghead

because egghead is like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Like right after Wano, you're like, oh, finally, it's like back to pre-time skip level of like pacing. Yeah, right. And it's brilliantly drawn too. But there's a lot of stuff in Wano that's also incredible. Like there's like one episode that I think about a lot that I think is like the most beautifully drawn. Because they change the teams that I think.

Yeah. At the last arc, like at the last piece of the last arc, they bring in like a new team. Yeah, because one piece I and a rap had a pretty bad rap for a long time for being pretty bad quality. It was Wano that changed everything. Yeah. And now it's insane. Yeah. Like it's actually really, really well drawn.

And I think that's part of the reason why, aren't they like, they went back and are like redoing the post-time skit. Yeah, One Piece Brotherhood. They're redoing. Yeah. They're doing like a connect story. So the people that worked on the first three seasons of Attackwin Titan are now doing a one piece remake called The One Piece, which is just pretty funny.

Oh, the Netflix one. Yeah, the Netflix one. Yeah, yeah. That one's going to be insane. Yeah. I'm excited for it. Which is basically just one piece, but just better paste. Yeah, I can't wait.

And I can't wait. That'll be sick. That's going to be insane. What else have you watched? So much. Dundaran. Of course. I'm not fully caught up with it, though.

I like it though? Yeah, I love it. It's great. Yeah, I mean, you don't need to fully catch up because it literally cuts. It just like cuts all. Dude, it cuts like mid-sentence. Yeah. That's not a season ending.

Yeah, this is the worst season ending. I think I've seen an anime ever done. Yeah. It's pretty bad. Yeah. It's coming back in July, so. Yeah, but I was like, what the fuck? It's not a season ending.

They just, like, they just split a season up into two parts. No, because I remember because, like, I caught up to it this month. And I got up to, you know, episode 12, I think it got up to. And I was like, oh, there's another episode next week, right? Maybe I'm just like, I just have to wait next week. And I looked at, wait, no, that's it. That's the entire season. There is.

Okay. Uh, Kaiji number eight was really good. Oh, wow, you're always fishing. That was fun. Kajun number eight's really good. Yeah, it's really good. Yeah, I thought, I had mixed. Mixed opinions on it.

Really? I think it's eye. I listen to Garn. The manga is getting really good, though. Oh, really? Yeah, I've caught up on the manga, and it's getting really, really good. I like it because I mean, I'm a sucker if it's like well drawn too. I like it.

It's not like my best. It's not in my top, but it's really good. If Gant says mid, it's mid. I watched Psalm 100, which was all right. Did you watch all of it? Yeah, I mean, whatever is available. Yeah, because they had a bit of a nightmare production. Oh, they did.

Yeah. The last three episodes got delayed like months. It was like after episode three, they were kind of just getting a little bit shit. Yeah. Yeah. It became the thing it was set to destroy. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, someone hundred was fun. I enjoyed it. It was shame because the first episode was so fucking good. Yeah. And then it kind of plateaued pretty quickly. Yeah. I think like one season was like a good amount for this.

I'm like, I don't need more of this, but the one season that I watched, I enjoyed it. What else? I watched the first episode of Suckermota Days. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. I'm excited for this one. I don't have no chance to watch you,

but I'm really excited to it. It's, that one is, that one's really nice. Yeah. Um, I'm watching Mashel. Oh, yeah.

Right now. Oh, shit. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm, I'm in the dub of that. Oh, nice. For like one episode. That's sick.

If you're watching the English version, but Japanese version is goaded. But, uh, yeah, I'm watching that right now. And it's, it's funny. I feel like it's like, you put like, Saitama with hair in Harry Potter unit.

Not bald Saitama. Not bald Saitama in like the Harry Potter universe. Yeah. Have you, have you watched Orb? Orb? Yeah, you would love orb. It's like the movements of the earth. So dude, Gant Salomona, please. I can't explain it. What's the name of the full name? Orb, the movements of the earth?

See, this is, okay, can I just say something? Yeah, I know, I know, I know. That kind of, oh, I know, I know, I might watch this. This is, this is, this is, this is, you would love. You would eat the shit up. Yeah, this is, this is on my. This is like a, Sean string. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Just like, genuinely. The only thing that stopped me from watching this is because some of these fucking anime

have the weirdest names. No, no, no. They have the weirdest name. Can you explain the story in a good way that you do? All right. Well, this is based on, it's not based on like actual history,

but like an alternate timeline of history where people still think that the earth is the center of the universe. And so it takes place in Poland, actually. And it's the story of these guys who figure out that, hey, maybe the Earth isn't the center of the universe, maybe, you know, the Earth is actually rotating around the sun.

But they have to, like, try to prove it in secrets, because if they get caught by the church, they basically just get executed. I love that. You would love it. Yeah. And it sounds phenomenal. And it's got, like, it's got one of, I think, the best villain in anime right now,

which is the guy who works. works for the church, which is so fucking basically the same character from Glorious Bastards, just... It's some of the best character writing I've seen in a long time in anime, for sure. Yeah, I didn't think of it. Yeah, he is just, he is Christoph Waltz from...

He's Christop Waltz from Inglorious Bastards, just church edition. Yeah, you know? I mean, you sold me on it. Yeah, it's so good, you would love it. And it's a 24 episode, nearly done. It's on Netflix as well. It's on Netflix as well, so it's pretty easy to get.

And whenever you think you know where the story's going, You go somewhere else. Speaking of that, that's another anime that I actually watched that I would have never watched because of the weird name, Delicious and Dungeon. Oh, you watched Delicious and Dungeon. That's so weird. It's good, though.

No, it's great. It goes from, it goes from like a Zelda cooking simulator and super cozy in the first like six episodes to berserk by the end of the season. Yeah. And I think, I felt like that also had a. shitty ending the first season delicious in dungeon i haven't finished it just it just kind of just ended yeah it just ends and you're like yeah okay um but but but i like that i like that one a lot that one's getting a season too i i did not expect that to be on your watch yeah did you watch uh free run

no everyone always tells me to watch free run everyone always tells me to watch free run it's i don't know sometimes if like the the the characters are too cutesy i'm not i don't get it's not it's not It looks like it. I'm telling you it's not. It's not. It's definitely not. And then your viewers will be like, based, base to son, based.

I don't know. There's discourse around it. There's like some people really like it. Some people say it's like fascist or something. I don't know. Fascist. But they said that about attack on Titan too. What?

Which makes sense about attack on Titan to be fair. Oh, it's, oh, I know why. It's because it's because of free friends views on demons. Oh, right. She thinks all demons are like should be killed. redeemable. Yeah.

Yeah. Which is, they're all like fundamentally evil. True. Because they can't help but be monsters in the world. Yeah. All right.

Here's another one that I watch that some people told me has weird politics, but I love it so far. Ranking of Kings. Oh, I fucking love ranking of kings. Again, another one I never thought.

Yeah. Some bangers. Dude, I've been, ranking of kings is a low key bang. I'm on an anime tear right now. Damn.

Blue Lock season two was PowerPoint presentation. Yeah. simulator so I was like fuck this yeah okay I'm just saying I call Blue Lock season I call Blue Lock being mid four episodes in everyone left at me as proved right wait season one was awesome no it was mid no it was and it was always going to be mid no it was you know oh she no co ohio co I said three episodes in this shit is mid as fuck and then it became the most mid show ever that's crazy I think if Blue Lock season two wasn't like a PNG like over and over again and some gifts

yeah it spliced into it it was It would be a great anime. No, I did. You're wrong. I saw the image. I was like, what the fuck happened in the show? It's like him where he goes like into a fucking demon. And he's got, he's like, he's like black-faced eyes red.

That was the one good episode of Blue Lock season too. And I was like, what the fuck is going on in this show? I thought it was about football. It is about football. It is like, what happened? First sports anime? Yeah, I was like, what the fuck? No, it's cool though.

Yeah, my son of this fucking image. Oh, that's like, what the fuck happened? Yeah, no. I mean, I just, yeah. Yeah, I shouldn't fuck with the problem. This is like the only good episode of season two. You just don't want to watch it. Why, why does it make me homophobic?

Yeah, you don't like boy love. That's it. What is this is your boy love? Yeah, this is my boy love. This is your boy love. This is boy love. That's why it's called BL. It's not Blue Lock.

It's boy love. One hot book. Bullock is not BL. It is literally BL. It is not BL. Okay, this is my second. All right, all right. Yes, it can be.

Okay. Blue lock guys, women are gonna like it. Blue lock is a boy love animal. You're tripping. That's, you're wrong. You're wrong. This is my second attack on Titan is a mecha anime take on trash taste right now. At least I had some like logic to wear.

There's a difference between hot anime guys being in it and boys love. Boys love is what dudes are making out. Have you seen like an actual BL anime? No, of course you haven't seen that. Yeah, there you go. That's why. Yeah. But I feel like it's, you know, the only part in Blue Lock that doesn't make it fully a BL, I guess,

is that they don't kiss sometimes. Yeah, watch Eerie on ice. So you're saying in the boys love category, you're saying this show, which doesn't, okay, okay. It's implied boys. Wait, way, way, way. But what is the line here?

What is it, is it because they are? Boys love dudes get like gigar ram. No, no, no, I get that. Not all the time. No, no, Jesus Christ. They get like impregnated. They get rammed on the court? But you know this, but you know that sometimes

there's like BL subtext and it's like, it's up to the, it's up to the fact. random whether you interpret this. They always kiss eventually. I've read a lot of these, God, they always kiss. It doesn't matter how many chapters it takes, they kiss.

There's always ones where it's like a little too bromosexual, you know what I mean? There's sometimes when you have two characters and they're like, why do I feel tension here? Why don't I feel some tension here? Okay, that's then that's Blue Lock. No, they don't have a whole scene about like his aromas. they, dude, they do.

All right, all right. Question, question then. Top gun. Is that, is that B.L? Oh, yes. That's good. Yeah.

Okay, okay. Okay. But there's no kissing of that. There's no kissing of that. They're just, dude, it would be less gay if they fucked in Top Gun. In Top Gun,

he even has sex with a woman and it's still boy love. In Blue Lock, no women are allowed in the premises. No, if they had sex in Top Gun, it would be homophobic. Because it would be too on the nose. It would be too much.

You know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. That's how I feel about Blue Love. Blue Love. You're like, I'm off of Blue Love. I was like, whoa. Yeah, it is. I just, but no.

But if Blue Lock is BL, then every sports anime is BL. Oh, right? Oh, yeah. I haven't watched. Okay, that's kind of BL though. I was gonna say that is probably the most like, BL Yowie leaning.

And there's nothing, nothing, gay happens in it. They just, they're all just very feminine. Yeah, but it's just like the energy. You know, it's just, get sweaty next to you. He's so good. No, because you look at Caroka and Cargamy and you're like, I know who's the top. I know who's the ball. That is, you know, that is what I'm talking about. It'll be basketball, but every player will have a star player where they do something. One guy's thing is that he'll never miss a three. It's impossible of him to miss the three. Yeah. That's awesome. And there'll be another guy where he's, he can copy any other player. I like perfectly. And then another guy that can like make you buckle no matter what.

Yeah, they took the Prince of Tennis format. Yeah. Yeah. Which again, another BL. That's okay. I feel like we're noticing a trend here. Sports are generally very is light. It's all about boys being sweaty and getting in on each other. And also they have a massive female audience as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They never go fully into it. I was just saying. But they give just enough bait. I was going to ask what else have you watched. It's the implication. I just gave you like every anime. Yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot. There's still more. I mean, any strong opinions, not other than Blue Rock Season 2 is ass and unacceptable. I mean, that's like, common sentiment. There's no, I don't have like a lot of hot takes at this time

around, unfortunately. Damn. Because all the anime that I've been consuming, you're just really like. Yeah. What do you think of Dandadon? It's great. I, dude, I love fast-paced anime that's like funny, quirky. I think down to don't also is less, I guess it's not like Shonen technically, right? I mean, it's 100% sure. It's pretty sure. What's the other one where it's like the love

story? Like it's like... Shodja? I feel like it's a little bit of a... I mean, it's a little bit of everything. Because the writer, didn't the Marraca say that he wanted it to be like a little bit kind of... He came up like the most insane premise on purpose, I think. And like...

Yeah, he came up the insane premise, but he also, I remember reading something about it where he was, I think, talking about, like, how he also wanted it kind of to be like a love story instead. Because there's a lot of cute stuff that happens in it. Yeah. And, you know, I find myself being invested in that. Yeah, well, I think the story is that because he used to be the assistant to Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man.

Yeah. And but he didn't know what he wanted to write. And so I think it was Fujimoto's editor at the time was just like, just like write something by throwing in everything that you love. just like, just smorgasbord of all the things that you love and just like see if you can make it work and fucking made it work.

Yeah. It came out great. I mean, everything about that anime is phenomenal. So good. Yeah. People were upset about the first episode. Uh,

yeah. The rapist aliens? Uh, yeah. I was watching that first episode with Ludwig actually and then Maya walked in and walked in during that part and walked out. Should have just turned on, you should have just turned on porn.

That makes more sense. Yeah. We were like, oh, just, we weren't watching Dantadon. We were watching porn. I'm sorry. I mean, at the same time, it's like, are we not allowed to, like, do anything in, like, you know, like, it's weird, but like, why? This guy. Why? I can't do anything anymore

because I woke. Why can't you? Why can't you show that? I mean, nothing happens. Why can't you allude to what would happen? No, no, I get it. Right? That's crazy. Why would you get upset about that? Also, it's so ridiculous as a premise as well. It's like, why are taking us that seriously?

Yeah, it's not like they're. a seven minute scene where they showed it, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, obviously that would be, like, in bad taste, but, you know, having that threat of an alien that wants to fucking take the sexual organs, why not? And then the dude literally comes out of the phone

to kick his arms. Like, how can you take that seriously? Yeah, no, it's ridiculous. Yeah, I think it's ridiculous. Yeah. These woke people. Damn. God-Bor-Dourgand-an-American.

Well. But, yeah, I mean, half the plot is just finding some guys as balls. Yeah, it's fucking stupid. It's so dumb, I love it. It's a great plot. So good. I like it.

What's next on your watch list then? Free ran? You got free run. Do you do you listen to chat when you look for recommendations or Yes and no. Usually no, but the dungeon meshie one was their recommendation and I just put it off for so long so I was like,

Oh, wow. First episode's slow, too. Oh, they're eating in the dungeon. That sounds like a cool premise. Not, you know? And then I was like, shit, this is actually dope. Yeah. I was like, it's very cozy at first.

And that's what was like, captivating. And then it was like, whoa, it's weird as hell. Have you watched Baki? Yes. Okay, good. I just want to make sure that. I want to make sure. Look at me.

Yeah, I know. That's weird. I was like, you would love Bacchi. I know dudes that have watched zero anime except for Dragon Ball and Baki. at the gym. Everyone watches Baki. Of course. That's why they're at the gym.

Because they're like, I want to be like that. Yeah. You're kidding me? It's so fucking good. It's peak. It's peak. I love Baki.

I feel like as a man, you have two toxic masculinity trades. You can go fucking the right wing and rotate shit or you can just go straight into Baki fan. Be a Baki fan and be an actual man. Yeah. Watch all the biscuit. I mean,

usual hummus is pretty evil. I love it though Bro, the shit he does in the manga is, oh my God, it's so good. It gets fucked up what he does in the future parts. Oh, okay. It's just a real fucked up shit.

I love that because they also make like they put Barack Obama in it. It's so good. They put Donald Trump in it. It's so good. Yeah. Well, they all have to meet the president's sign of pact. Yeah. And then he takes cold and then turns into a diamond and gives it to him.

It's so good. And he's like, you have to keep this with you. The whole fucking scene where he goes to the bar and he's like, I want a whiskey. And he's like, I want a whiskey. And he's like, spits on him. He's like, no, rips the whiskey from the bar. Yeah. It's so good.

And then smokes the cigar and one go. Yeah. It's like, it's like as Looney Tunes as you can get in anime. It's the best. It's just Looney tunes meets Jojo. It's so funny. It's so good. It's peak.

Oh, I love hockey. Hell yeah. And you love Jojo. Get into Jojo. I have watched, I stopped. I stopped watching after the Florida Prison one. That's like, everything that's out. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I didn't finish that one. Oh, yeah. It was weirdly a pretty, wasn't really great to watch. I'll be honest. I watched all of it. Yeah. And I felt like,

damn, it just didn't have the same charm that part five had in the anime. I was disappointing because I loved it. That's my favorite part. I feel like it picked up in like the late parts. It felt like it really stumbled in the, which,

too fair, in the manga, it's also like a little weaker, I think the quarter in. Like after you meet food fighters and they're starting trying to figure stuff out in the prison. Yeah,

kind of has a hard time. But if part seven does get adapted, you're gonna win us peak. It's the best part. Well, they're making it. Is it confirmed yet, though? Yeah, it's confirmed. Really?

When do we get a date there? I don't know. Probably next to date. All I know is that part seven is in production. So probably next year. But production can be anything. Yeah. Yeah.

Dude, part seven is the best part of Jojo. Is that the one with the handicap? Yeah. And it's the, the race across America. Summer 2025. Wow. The race across America on horseback. Yeah.

Oh, that's the, no, no, no. That's the book. Oh, that's the book, never mind. Yeah, so the English manga. No confirmation. Oh, no confirmation. Yeah, the English manga for- Maybe I, maybe, maybe I mistook this for-

Oh, really? In English, no. What? Part six came out recently. The anime, I think, came out right after the manga was officially adapted in English. I don't know why. What?

Yeah. Why are they holding back? I don't know. They don't want the Western audiences to know what it's about. I know. Yeah, I was gonna say, so you're ready in Japanese.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, part seven's so good, man. Fuck. Part seven is peak, Jojo. It's pretty much when he gets every issue you've ever had with any part of Jojo, he pretty much fixes everything and every best part of Jojo comes together for one. And he like just nails it. It's phenomenal. It's peak. Jira. Jira is the fucking coolest dude. He's so cool. You're going to love it. Okay. I don't know what happened with the Florida arc. I just like, I don't know. I thought it was like, eh. I think at the end. It got really weird. It got like, yeah, it got two, I can't believe I'm saying this about Jojo.

Yeah. But it got like weird, but not in a good way. Where I just got like, I found myself kind of bored. I never had dropped it before where I was like, I think in between, because there's a, it was like a half season, right? Yeah, the way they released it was kind of weird. I don't know why they did it like that. Yeah.

It really like ruined the, the momentum of the series, unfortunately. Yeah. You don't read manga, do you? You just watch anime. No. I don't have time. I don't have time to read manga. I used to when I was younger.

quicker to get through a series. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but I like the passive consumption that you can do. Passive consumption. You've heard of passive income. Get ready for passive consumption. I don't want to scroll. I don't even second monitor it.

I just like, but I like having it because like then I can cook. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, sit back, eat food and watch it. It's like for manga. And also you can do it with like other people too. True, sure, sure. Yeah.

You know, I'm going to get my friends to get. We're all gonna read the manga together. It doesn't hit the same, you know. Getting the boys together to watch Bakke, do a gym chest, you fucking put on the- Yeah, start kissing a little bit. Yeah, you might. Oh, you will.

You will. You will. This should get high. Isn't there, isn't there a point in the manga where he like, like, a dude? And he, like, am I crazy? Uh, if it's Bakke we're talking about, I wouldn't be surprised.

He like, Yuchero, I think, I could be wrong. I think super high-patch for John was telling me that he, I mean, usual is, He's a, he's a dude, and he says, nah, it's not gay, though. Because everything is a pussy to me. I swear what John told me. I could be wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised. You know, I believe that. This is you sure we're talking about, I swear this was the thing that John told me. If John lied to me, you know what's fucked up? It sounds real. Yeah, I know. That's what he told me.

I could be. The thing crazy is that this is the only show. Oh, look at this. Yeah. It's not gay. Oh, he sees everyone as female. He's so manly. His justification is that everyone is a woman to have

because he is the manliest man. Sorry to spoil it. No, no, that's fine. What part is this? I would even say that he's actually gay, not just bisexual. He's always sexual relationship with him. But a hairy bearded man appeared

and he did not think twice about a deep kiss. He's, doesn't he? He overpels. The Russian dude and like rip his jaw off or was that Barky? That's uh, that's not Bakke. That was,

um, fuck the Russian guy. That was the, uh, who rips, who's fucking, oh, that's,

that's Hanayama. Yeah, Hanayama. I'm, the Chinese guy, right? No, no, no, the big,

the 50 year old. Oh, fuck yeah. Yeah, the Akusa dude is. Dude, everyone's so fucking sick in that show. Yeah.

Yeah. And then he gets shot in the mouth, remember, and it like blows his, oh, yeah. It's so fucking dumb. I could be wrong. John told me that,

but I can be wrong. I love the brilliant minds of the Groplerbocky subreddit. Just like going back and forth on this being like, nah, it's not gay though. We need to talk about this.

It's Yujiro not. Yeah. The real question. He said no homo. He said no homo. That's fine. I would even count 10 seconds of sex. You know?

Yeah, it is, it is wild. Yujro is a. That is, that is true. Yeah, that whole fucking scene with, the caveman.

It was so wild. Oh, that was crazy. Yeah, we're just in the airport. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, maybe that should have just, you know, stayed on the editing floor.

You didn't have to put that in there. Like, I understand he's a caveman. Yeah. Without him having said. Yeah, that was bad. That was hard to watch. I was like, oh my God. They show his dick too.

Yeah. Like, do you not remember? I remember. It zooms down for a while, as a matter of fact. They're like, look at how big his penis is. Yeah, I remember. I remember. What the fuck?

Yeah, explain this to a normal person. This show is like, yo, you want to watch this? You want to watch this crazy show, man? Like, a normie. But it's peak. It's peak. It's peak. It's peak.
