Starting point is 00:00:29 Like, it was Kanye with a fucking, with, with a polo shirt on Chappelle. Yeah. And then it went from there. It wasn't until I moved to Toronto that I really met like, because Vancouver doesn't have a lot of black people.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah. But when I moved to Toronto, I met like other black people who like fucked with the anime. And I was like, they're like, yeah, you got to watch like Code Geigis. And I was like,

Starting point is 00:02:02 Montreal rules. It rules. It's, it's, it's, the summer is the best. The summer's good, because it's so cold all year long, so then when the summer hits, everyone's just. They party. Those chicks love. Oh, and Montreal chicks? Woo!
Starting point is 00:02:14 Montreal, if we're going to put up, like, hottest chicks, like, if we, Montreal is the ones we send. The hottest chicks are the Montreal chicks. Yeah. Because they've all been, like, like, slightly repressed by the church. and then they had their sort of like breakout and it was kind of in like the punk era so you get these sort of like crusty white chicks that have like tattoos and weird colored hair and because of the French part they're like hypersexual too. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody just told me like French are whores. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah. That was Ryan. Well, you know. Anyway, he was like, yeah, I'll do a show. I'm like, okay, I'll like, hopefully it'll do well. Yeah. I think that people will show up. And he was just like.

Starting point is 00:03:11 We went to, we're going to Japan, dude. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Yeah, I went to Japan. I was there for two weeks or so. It was recent, right? Yeah, this was in June. Okay. So, yeah, it's not that long ago.
Starting point is 00:03:21 It was fucking unbelievable, man. So it was me and my buddy, Matt, we kind of, I've wanted to go to Japan for a while the year before I went to Greece for a buddy's wedding and I kind of was like I should just start traveling this was like what started it the Greece thing yeah have you not been traveling I so I lived in Mexico for a while from like 19 to 22 I lived in Mexico well I was a scuba diving instructor and I just like flew out there I got my scuba diving instructor certificate what through yeah through university um because my parents were like you have to go straight to university when did you start diving at the in the university course
Starting point is 00:03:57 And you went straight to instructor? So the whole course was it takes you from like you've never dove before to being an instructor in like eight months. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many dives in that time? At least 100. You had to do at least. You need 100 dives to get to the instructor level.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yeah, you have to have seen some stuff. Oh, yeah, I saw some wild shit. I mean, where I was diving was all cold water diving in Vancouver. So that's all like dry suit stuff. It's still beautiful. Like you'll see. Unenjoyable. I mean, you have to go, honestly, if you're diving in September, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:04:25 because September is when it's still kind of hot outside, but in the summertime you get plankton blooms, which reduce the visibility like crazy low. So you get no plankton plus nice weather. Any time, other time of the year, it's kind of ass diving out there. But you could see like giant Pacific octopus. I saw a lion's main jellyfish that literally was so big. I couldn't put my arms around it.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Had tentacles for like 30 feet. And then moving to Mexico, then I was doing like Caribbean diving because I was in the Yucatan, though I was in Plano, Carmen. Yeah. I've been down there. I'm not quite Al Carmen, but yeah, in the Yucatan. And it was, that was amazing. You died of Sonotes? Yeah, I did,
Starting point is 00:05:04 I never got like fully cave certified, but I did like the caverns sonotes. Yeah. And that was so cool. Oh, so cool. Like that crystal clear water, like, it's just unbelievable. You can see the areas where like the freshwater and salt water meet and you get that like blurring effect and everything like that. Yeah. It's really,
Starting point is 00:05:21 really cool. And then the, So Mexico, did that give you any? Sorry, what did you say? The reef off of Cozumel. That's the second largest reef in the world. And so we go there and you do incredible diving. You could see like sharks, frogfish, sea lions, not sea lions, fucking, what are the little guys? The sea fish?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Horsefish? What's the little fucker with the... Seahorse. Seahorse. That's what I'm fucking trying to say. You know, I was looking for one of those for seven years. Yeah. The closest I got was in Indonesia.
Starting point is 00:05:54 and somebody were snorkeling. It was crazy. Like it never dropped. So it just stayed a reef for so. So you could go like 100 yards out there. And these little like like like, like not patterns, but like cave, not caves, like runways. Yeah. So it went a little darker.
Starting point is 00:06:06 So you could chase like a tortoise. He couldn't get away from you. Yeah. And you just see. So you just chase it down these like paths. And someone was like, I saw a secret. I went over there. It was gone.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah. They're hard to find one. Here's where I found one. Finally in 2021. In the Galapagos, Oh, damn. On this island. This is fucking wild.
Starting point is 00:06:29 That must have been fucking incredible. The Galapagos? It's like a paradise. This is the island. Dude. Where I saw a seahorse. That's fucking cool as hell. What else did you see out there?
Starting point is 00:06:38 It looks, it's shaped like a seahorse. It is. That's crazy, dude. It's nuts. Yeah. Did you see those marine iguanas and stuff there too? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those guys rule.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yeah. Yeah, dude. The Galapagos is like, there's the hammerheads and shit out there too like yeah those dover those have you ever been to Costa Rica yeah but not diving Costa Rica is if you ever go diving
Starting point is 00:07:04 it's the largest there's like sharks come from all different areas of the world and it's the largest population of sharks in the world so you can see that crazy different species of sharks over there they come there to mate and do all sorts of wild shit and it's safe to dive with them yeah yeah I did when I never so I've never been to Costa Rica but in Mexico every winter we'd have bull shark dives so the Bull shark season would come and you would have to go deep and you would go all like all the way down is just sand and you would kneel in the sand and then you'd bring like a weight or like a water bottle the weight you would like bang it on your tank or the water bottle or you'd crinkle it and that would attract the sharks the sharks would come swimming around you and we would get like maybe three four sharks that would come check us out one time I went down because we would never feed but there was other dive shops that would feed and so one time we feed them feed the sharks you go down with like this big tube that it's like sealed so when you put your hand you
Starting point is 00:07:53 in and pull a piece of meat out, nothing else comes out. It's not leaking and attracting when there's nothing, when you don't want the sharks to be there. So we saw another dive center that was going to feed. They had the tube. And so we swam up next to them. And it literally was like no sharks, then like 10 sharks, then like 20, then like 30 sharks just all swimming around us.
Starting point is 00:08:12 And then as soon as the feeding was done, it was the same thing in reverse, where they just dissipated super quick. And it was chill as hell. Like I've never, when they look at you, they're very calm. They're not, you don't feel intimidating.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Have you ever seen, um, videos of like people doing sharks wrong? No, no. Or when like they rub their nose and shit like that? It was just like a shark attacks on divers. Oh,
Starting point is 00:08:35 and then all the comments like, that's crazy. He showed aggressive behavior. They should have been out of there already. Why is some people leaving the pack? You should all pack up. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Um, no, we never, I don't know, we never got trained on how to act around the sharks. Really? Just kind of went and did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It was pretty loose. Goosey, man. And as far as I know, no one ever really got hurt. But that was the start. That was like I go up. My parents traveled with me a bit. They took me to Cuba when I was a kid. And then when I got older, I went to Mexico and was living there.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Then I moved to Toronto. And then I hadn't traveled in a long time. You moved to Toronto. Oh, from the West Coast. Yeah, yeah. And then I hadn't traveled in a long time. My buddy was getting married in Greece. And so I went to Greece.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I took my sister because she has always wanted. to go to Greece, but never went. So I was like, let's go together. We'll go to this wedding, spend a week in Greece. You hooked up? Yeah, we hooked up. Nice. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It's legal over there. Yeah, it's legal. We had to go all the way to Greece. She was hairy enough, so it was fine. Yeah, so it was fine. No one asked any questions, dude. But then she went back after Greece and I went to Berlin for a week. We also had a 24-hour layover in Amsterdam.
Starting point is 00:09:48 But then I stayed in Berlin, party in Berlin. What a town, huh? Oh, Berlin fucking rule. Cool, dude. Although all those like underground nightclubs and everything like that. We did some shows over there. They've a really good comedy scene in Berlin. Yeah, they're pretty chill.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah. They're pretty cool. And then after that, I was like, I got to start traveling more. You got like the bug. Yeah. And then Japan was always on my list. Japan's been number one for a long time. And so I hit up my buddy Matt and I was like, yo, dude, do you want to go to Japan?
Starting point is 00:10:17 And he was like, yeah, let's go for a week. I was like, no, let's go for two weeks. We got it. Two weeks. Yeah, we can't do one week. Like it's fucking, it's of whatever, 16 hour flight to get out there. Where do Canadians rank in terms of like the countries that of Canada, UK, Australia and America? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:32 The big English is. Yeah. Where do they rank in terms of like vacation or travelers? Australia is number one. They take like month and a half long. Like they're always holiday. Oh. Oh, like how long we get.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I think we're above you but below everyone else. Gotta be above us. Yeah. But we're not, I don't, we're not as good as UK. We're not as good as, like we maybe get like. like four or five more days than you guys get. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 But also it's like there's a vibe of going places in Canada. Yes. Everyone's like, oh, I've been to Cuba. Yeah. They all kind of go down there when we couldn't. They were like, no, it's a cool place to go. And you have to track. Because Americans like, don't go.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Well, because you got so much going on in America. Yeah. And it doesn't take too far to get to places. Like to fly from here to Florida. And Florida is a wonderful place to go. It's not that crazy of a flight. Right. So you're talking about the tropics.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Yeah. Without a passport. Exactly. Yeah. You go across Canada. It's cold. everywhere you fucking go. You have to fly.
Starting point is 00:11:23 It's fucked if you go up. Yeah, 10 months a year. And it's, and you have to fly hours and hours. Like, it's a fucking six hour flight to get to Toronto from Vancouver. Right. So it's like, might as well go some other fucking place. Yeah, go west. Exactly.

Kind of the inception for the trip was they opened a Super Nintendo World at the Universal Studios in Osaka. Okay. And so we were like, okay, we got to get tickets for that.
Starting point is 00:13:11 That's like a must-do thing we got to do on our trip. I definitely have pictures of that. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is us at Super Nintendo World. We, yeah, so this is like the... Wait, so this is, hold on. So I remember Universal.
Starting point is 00:13:25 It's all the Universal stuff. It's Harry Potter's World and everything like that. And so they've added a Super Nintendo World to the Universal. Oh, it's a little section. Yes. So they had Jurassic World at one of these also because it's a Jurassic Park World. Exactly. So this is us at like the Harry Potter World.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Then they're, this is the Super Nintendo World. It's all just game shit. Yes. Come to life. So you like put this one, you would put the fucking headset on. Yeah. would ride in a Mario cart and it was on a track and then you would look around and shoot fucking shells out and try to get like a high score on it. That fucking game rule, dude.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And then this is us like in there. There's Bowser's Castle, the Super Nintendo World entrance. One of the craziest parts, oh yeah, the Jaws thing. So my buddy Matt, he's terrified of sharks. Yeah. And that's because when he was a kid, he went to the Universal Studios in America and went on the Jaws ride. And then the guy goes, oh, look off the edge of the boat. He's like, maybe six. Looks over the side. A big mechanical shark jumps out of the water.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Terrifies him. So we took this picture and then sent it to his dad because his dad was like laughing and made him take this picture as a kid with him crying. But we, yeah, we just fucking had such a good time. Oh, this donut, dude. Okay. All right. The, the, when you're at Super Nintendo World, you,
Starting point is 00:14:46 walk in, you're like walking through the tunnel. And then when you walk out on the other side, it plays the music from Peach's Castle in Super Mario 64. And like I had like goosebumps on my neck. Like I'm a big nerd with all that shit. And so there every area had music from different games. There's animatronics and shit moving all around. I probably have Osaka. That was an Osaka. Yeah. Yeah. And this donut was in Osaka too. This was at the Portland Bee Bakery, dude. We went there and this we ate this donut we went to a place to go buy shorts because we were crashing in Osaka
Starting point is 00:15:20 but our hotel was in Kyoto and we spent no time in Kyoto and then we went back and got another one of these donuts fly straight to Osaka? No we flew straight to what's it called Tokyo so we flew to Tokyo and our first like four days
Starting point is 00:15:35 were in Tokyo and that must be the wildest city that seems like one of those cities were like just different than anywhere else oh dude you get off and it's like first it's like super clean And then the area we were in, we were like, okay, this is like... Super clean.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Super clean. Like, everywhere you go, like, garbage is stacked perfectly on itself. And, like, everything is, like, in its little section. And you go to the corner store. Have you ever been to Japan? No. Oh, dude. I mean, I really want to, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:01 So, when you go, like, the corner store, the food is crazy. They have, they have, like... The bodegas? Yeah, the bodegas. So they, there's 7-Eleven is, like, stacked over there. And they have, like, legit... We ate there, like, because you're always on the run. You're running around.
Starting point is 00:16:14 to go booze and we're like, fuck, I haven't eaten today. So let's go grab. They have those, what the for? Onigiri, those like triangles that have like the seaweed. Yeah. And the way you open it too. So that's a little like rolling tequitos at 7-11. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:27 But it's so high end. Yeah, yeah. And even the way you would open it was like it wasn't wrapped fully because if the seaweed is against the rice, the seaweed's going to get fucking soggy, right? So there was a way you could like pull three tabs on the, fucking on the plastic around it and then the whole thing would wrap into one onagiri it was they they just have everything fucking figured out wow and so we would snag those all the time oh what was our first day this is i'm kind of like all over with because i'm trying to follow it with the
Starting point is 00:17:02 pictures too so when we were in osaka you went to wrestling we went to wrestling wow packed huh oh dude packed i definitely have a is it just like it's just like wbri oh yeah Yeah, just like it's not like a Mexican version.

Starting point is 00:17:23 I'm trying to, let me open up the folder of. What was it, as you're opening it, I'll just ask you questions. Yeah. Did you feel safe out there? Oh, dude. I feel like you were. Unbelievable. Unbelievably safe.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Like, safe is an understatement. Like, we felt over there like you, kids ride the subway. Like you, at night. It's not loud. There's no like loud car, someone blasting music. It is unbelievably safe. Dude, the crime over there is so low. Like, I don't even, you, I left my phone at an arcade. We were at this, like, arcade thing in Akiabara, which is like the big tech district where there's, like, all these different, there's like, um, uh, like all these, like different arcade buildings and, like those claw games and all that kind of stuff. I left my phone just on a table. And then we, we're, we're getting an Uber and I was like, oh, fuck I don't have my phone. It was right where I left it.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Really? Yeah, didn't move. No one picked it up. No one touched it. People just leave shit. Like, if you forget something somewhere, people will leave it for you to come back and get it. That's nuts.

Starting point is 00:20:10 um, this area called Golden Guy. So Golden Guy is in Shinjuku and it's an area of like little bars. So like maybe 200 bars that all seat 12 people. And they're all like somewhere on top of each other and it's just like it's like a four block radius of just bars bars bars bars bars bar bar bar bar bar bar so we go to golden guy. We're going into all these different places. We see one bar. We go in there. There's like a group of five people in there. We start talking to them. One of them is this girl Hitomi. Hitomi was raised in Japan until she was like 17, then moved to the States, lives in.
Starting point is 00:20:41 like Portland now. So she like has this America. She knows America. She knows Japan. She had a fucking vape pen on her and we're like, yo, you're gonna, and she's like, they don't know what this is. And it's like ripping it and stuff. Didn't give a fuck, man.

She gives us like a whole tour of this area. She shows us this big, there's like this gigantic golden, like it's supposed to be like a droplet. It kind of looks like a sperm, and they call it the turd. And so she shows us all this stuff, and I saw Akura.

So then we go to the event where we see this dude wrestle, text him after, and we're like, hey, like what's up? And he's like, you know, come to this bar, like all the wrestlers are chilling together. So then we go to the bar to go hang out with all the wrestlers.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Can I guess? What's that? Blow. No, I know. I wish. I wish, dude. We talked to them about that. And they were like, oh, yeah, you can get it here.

It's like, dude, there's no reason to get in this much shit for Coke this bad. But you know how like when they say when you go to like, not Mars, some other country where like you're way lighter. You can like, everybody can dunk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Just like get off the ground. Like that's how Australian. are when they go to any other place. They're like, the co-cares cheap and good. And they're like, let's do blah. We're like, all right, we just did it the last 10 days. Exactly. Let's do more.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Yeah, they're trying to get, it's like a kid in a candy store just fill in their mouth constantly. Yeah. But we just partied with all these wrestlers. Wow, fun. They had this, there's this thing in Japan where they almost have like a jester type figure where his job is to hang out and basically be bullied. So there was like three different...
Starting point is 00:24:39 It's Joe DeRosa. There you go. Joe de Rosa, yeah, yeah. And you just kind of poke at this person constantly. Totally Joe. So they're like, Joe, you would love it in Japan. They'd kill you. You got a perfect spot for you.
Starting point is 00:24:54 So they, the way that it worked was there was this one dude who basically facilitated this older lady who wanted to hang out with the wrestlers. She paid for the whole night. All your drinks. your booze, all the cigarettes, everything was paid for. That dude who facilitated, it also brought this old man who was the jester guy. And the whole point of the jester guy was just to kind of like bully him. So the wrestlers would like slam on the table and chant old cunt and he would be forced to slam his beer. And then when they were, uh, uh, my buddy was in the bathroom, the jester
Starting point is 00:25:29 guy was pissing. And they came in and started like shaking him as he was pissing. And we're like, do you guys, they're like, yeah, that's it. That's the golden turn. There it is, yeah So that was I think that was built During like the Olympics or something What is it? It's supposed to be a flame
Starting point is 00:25:45 I think it's supposed to be The Olympic flame But they couldn't build it upright Because it was just gonna like topple over So they built it on its side And everyone just calls it the golden turd Yeah It's so funny when someone builds a statue

The first time I had a cigarette, we go into this room and everyone's smoking. And I'm just standing in there. And I was like, give me a fucking cigarette. And so then I just started smoking when I'm out there.
Starting point is 00:29:54 And I got the experience of like having a drunk sig for the first time. And I was like, oh, yeah. It topples you sometimes. But you're already kind of buzz and you're like, I need some fresh air. Then you smoke a cigarette. Like, now I need a puke. Yeah, yeah, dude. Dude.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Wow. And so we would go to these nights fun. By the way, great idea if you can do it. Smoke while you travel, leave it there. And leave it there, dude. Never, I haven't touched it since. Greg, good for you. But yeah, that fucking ruled.
Starting point is 00:30:19 And then one night we met up with this dude. So there was this guy who basically does these like party tours. And his whole thing, it's called Drunken Japan. And we met up with the Drunken Japan guy. Let me see if this is this here, I think so. Yeah, this is so we're at a nightclub here, partying. Are these? Hold on, who's there? Go back. Oh, that's fine. I can see people. A lot of Japanese. Oh, yeah. It's like a few whites. A couple whites. And I think on this floor, too, this was like the anime music floor. This was all like Japanese anime style music. And everyone was singing along with all the songs. And we're like, yo, this fucking rips, dude. There was like, oh, this was the muscle girl bar. So they have this, they don't have like strip clubs or anything over there. They have like these different sort of show bars where girls do like strip. Her fucking foot is right above their drinks.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Oh yeah, dude. They love it. Like, ew. But these girls were all like Jack. But Jack for Japanese standards. Like none of these girls like, they could use a little bit of testosterone. So this was the drunken Japan guy. So he basically.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Funnels on the street? Yes. Funnels? Yeah. So this was in Shinjuku before we went into the nightclubs. He basically had, they didn't. Fonels. He didn't, they don't know what a beer bong is over there.
Starting point is 00:31:32 So he's like introduced the concept of beer bong to the Japanese people and he would go up to the Japanese in the street and be like yo hit this beer bong and they would fucking rip it and like sometimes they would just fail at it miserably
Starting point is 00:31:44 Oh yeah because you want to like be like Yeah And you gotta like open up Exactly so it would keep coming They would just spin it all over the ground He's too close Yeah no no no Wasn't the best
Starting point is 00:31:54 Whoever's filming this is a better angle The guy filming in the shot Yeah He's only getting you with a green thing Exactly you're not seeing the funnel And all the booze going down That's the drunken Japan guy Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:04 And so the drunk- That's a tour, get drunk in Japan. Exactly, yeah, yeah. So he has a page called Drunk in Japan where he basically just does all this like party content. Yeah. And when we were, we hung out with him one night and got so blasted.
Starting point is 00:32:19 That night we ended up going to the nightclub and I got so fucking drunk because they would play this game where you do rock paper scissors. And then if whoever loses, the other person counts to three and you have to chug your drink until they count to three.
Starting point is 00:32:33 And they can count as slug as, or as fast as they want. Really? And so we got so shit-faced there that when we got home at night, I just like pulled trigger and just puked up straight strawberry soju, just fucking strawberry soju flowing out of my mouth, dude. And the next day we met up with this dude, and then he took us to this like illegal car meetup. And I got like a bunch of videos of this car meetup.
Starting point is 00:32:58 What do you mean? What's a car meetup? So like all these like... DRIF? Tokyo Drift? Tokyo Drift. So, Tokyo Drift, souped up Japanese cars. Dude. They're the supers of the supers.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Oh, yeah, yeah. This was like the, the dopest shit. Like, I don't know fuck all about cars, but I was taking videos and send him to my buddy who's a car guy. He's like, you just showed me like a million dollars worth of cars. And there was just car after car of these things. Like, look at the engine on this. I don't know what any of this shit is.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Yeah. But it was souped up like crazy, bro. The drunk in Japan guy took you here? Yeah, he took us here. And this was apparently the place to be. ran into a dude in, uh, because we didn't go, we didn't climb Mount Fuji, but we went to like the town below Mount Fuji, which I think it's called Kawakuchiko. Um, and we met a dude when we got off the train. He's like, oh, dude, I know you from fuck you're the follow me
Starting point is 00:33:46 fucking idiots guy. And then we met him at the car meet up. He's like, yo, what do you, Indians? Follow me, you fucking idiots. What is that?

But we just saw all these like crazy souped up cars. This day we were like so fucking hung over. Oh, and this was the night too where we went to.
Starting point is 00:34:12 So he took us to the car meet up and we did all the cool. How did you find this guy? I so he came up when I was getting ready to go to Japan. My algorithm started to be like Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan, Japan. Nice. One of the good ones for once. Yeah. Absolutely.

And you'll see like, yeah, they had like silicone tits. You could buy like basically like a wooden plaque that you put like a screen of an anime chickover. And the wooden plaque had like two giant circles that you put silicone tits on. So you could change out the faces of the anime girls and just. squeeze these silicone tits.

So we stop at that like that little parking area right before you go, like, where you would walk through to go to like the kitchen. Yeah. And these two girls walk up and they go, hey, are you guys, do you guys work here? And we're like, no. And they're like, oh, yeah, like, what is this place? And we just start.

I had once in Thailand, I was gonna, like, hook up with this chick, but I was like, I was staying at one hostel. Yeah. And then you don't get your money back from hostels if you leave early.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Yeah. They're like, eight bucks a night anyway. They're like, no, you pay it. I'm like, yeah, whatever. So I was staying in one, and then I found out my friend was staying at another one that was more of a party hostel. And I was like, oh, fuck it. I just didn't tell anybody because it's embarrassing to those people.
Starting point is 00:38:00 that you left $36 on the table. Yeah. So I was like, oh, I'll switch over there. So I had two rooms that night across town. And then this chick was like, I'm not fucking you in a dorm. And I was like, okay, I'll get a room. So I got a single room. So I had three rooms that night.

Starting point is 00:38:40 One dude I remember was from Denver. And so we're drinking with them. We're partying with them. The night is literally we're like, we're going to have one beer and then go home. Out of nowhere, this chick from Chile comes and sits at our table and she just immediately starts talking to my boy. What? She has a friend, this Brazilian chick, who I was not really feeling. and was kind of like a little bit a dumpy.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Fair. Yeah, but I was like, well, I got a wingman my boy, though. I got a wingman my boy. And so then he's talking to her. I'm talking to the other girl and da-da-da-da. This girl's clearly not really into me. And I'm like, but I'm like, we're going to figure something out. And so.
Starting point is 00:39:16 She's wingman and her friend too. Exactly. Exactly. I guess we could just talk. We can just talk. We can just talk. But me and my buddy are sharing a room in Osaka. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:27 And they're sharing a room in Osaka. So what we kind of decide on is we're going to split and you're going to both go back to my buddy goes back to our hotel with the girl. I go back to their hotel with this girl. And she's like, just so you know, nothing's going to happen. Her English was really broke. And I think she was Brazilian. And she was like, yeah, no, I'm like, I'm just doing this for my friend. Like we're just, we're going to go back and sleep.
Starting point is 00:39:49 No, I find you gross. So it's no quiero. I don't know. But the one thing we started to kind of maybe connect. necked on, even though her English was really broken, was UFC. She trains MMA. And I was like, oh, okay, yeah, you know, this fighter, blah, blah. You trained too?
Starting point is 00:40:08 No. I just really like UFC. And so we started talking about all this stuff. And I was like, how did you get into it? And she goes like, oh, when I was 14, I was how you say? And I was like, oh, shit, okay. Yeah, no, I'm so sorry. That's horrible.

Like the Hitomi thing of just meeting her randomly. There's 200 bars. We go into one where she's in.
Starting point is 00:41:08 And then she's friends with the dude who's on the wrestling show leads us to hang out with wrestlers, smoking and partying with them all night. I had some pictures with the whole crew, but they're like, you can't show that anywhere because it's like the good wrestlers and the bad wrestlers hanging out with each other breaks the immersion. They all hang out in the back as the same as politicians. Yeah, exactly. Where you're like, fuck you all block you everywhere. This guy's a devil and it's like, let's go eat.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. So, I mean, it sounds like it's nonstop. You just didn't rest. We didn't rest. There was even the night when we went out with the wrestlers, after the show, we were at a place we're eating, we're having a drink. And then the guy texted me like, hey, we're going to be here.
Starting point is 00:41:46 And my buddy looked at me. He goes, you didn't want him to text you, did you? And I was like, no, I wanted to go to bed.

Starting point is 00:42:06 Never regret it. And we would just, the thing about running into people out there is the Japanese, some spoke a little bit of English, but a lot of them speak no English. So then if you run to somebody speaks English, you're like, hey, hey, what's up? Hey, okay. So we're connecting here. And we ran to this one dude who owned a V-tuber company. What?
Starting point is 00:42:26 V-tubers are like, if you've ever been on Twitch, you know people who like their avatar is like a digital anime chick with like big tits. Okay. Have you ever seen this?

We met him one night in Golden Guy because in Golden Guy, there's a ramen restaurant that's one of the best ramen restaurants in Japan. They have like a, what's it called, an anchovy broth, which is like kind of rare, or at least people who were saying that it was kind of rare. And so that place was open 24-7.
Starting point is 00:43:10 So you party all night, you drink until like 4 a.m. in Golden Guy, then you go to this place, you get a late-night meal. We met this guy over there, and we connected with him, started, like, we texted him, whatever. then he was like, okay, this was the same night we met Hottomi.

We think we're texting fucking Hitomi. It's this other guy. and we're like, we meet up with him not knowing it's even going to be him. What? And we're just like, sick. And then he shows us all around Nakano, Broadway.
Starting point is 00:44:00 We go into, like, all these little shops. They have, like, this is it. So you're, like, down this, like, alley of stores.

Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah, 100%. Do you, oh yeah. Do you have any money? Oh yeah. I got money for you, dude. Oh, fuck yeah. So I brought you a bill, but I also brought you some coins, my guy. There's that.
Starting point is 00:45:16 And then I have like, Who's this guy? A no clue. Also, they don't like it when you fold the money and it folds the face. The face. They can't crease the face. The face. Yeah, they're pissed off if you crease the face.
Starting point is 00:45:28 I think so. They have a very honorable society. Really? Oh, yeah, dude. And then I got you, I got you a one yen, a hundred yen. I think this one with the hole is a 50. And then this one's 500 yen. How much of these were?
Starting point is 00:45:46 The yen is down right. Do you're doing an impression of them? So what's like a thousand yen? A thousand yen is... That's great. Look at this. I think... Oh, so this is half of this.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, look, they got a hole in the middle of this one. Yeah. And I think that's 25 or 50. I can't remember. But they, I think, uh, a thousand yen was roughly 10 bucks, if I remember. But I think, but the yen is going down. If there's ever been a time to go to Japan, it's right now.
Starting point is 00:46:20 This year it's probably going to be the cheapest time to go to Japan in like the last 30 years. Why? What's wrong with their, what's wrong? I'm not sure what's going on with their economy. No. But their economy is, is, their dollar is just fucking crashing right now. Yeah, yeah, I should go to Japan. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Damn. So cheap to go. That was another big factor of why we're like, we should go now. It was cheap. It was cheap as hell to go, dude. Yeah, like how much would a beer be? Do you want anything to drink? Maybe you water?
Starting point is 00:46:47 You said you have coffee? coffee, water, beer, liquor. I'm not doing booze right now. January? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm doing no beer, no porn, no porn,
Starting point is 00:46:57 no porn, no, nicotine, no fuck. I was doing no caffeine, but I broke that. I did it last year I went, I went no dry, no same, and then no caffeine,
Starting point is 00:47:10 but like, why? That's your one. I'm like, I think I should do it all. Yeah, yeah. No porn, though. And no gluten. No gluten either is when I'm doing. Dude, I think I have a, when I eat gluten, I get really foggy.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I think everyone does. I think you're just not, there's like the gluten celiacs thing. Yeah. But then everyone's a little bit like, not allergic, but like it's fucking with you. And my sister's, um, she's gluten intolerant. Like she'll get really like. What does that just mean? Your black friend?
Starting point is 00:47:33 Yes. She's like, don't bring any of those glutons around, okay? I don't like them in my house. I don't like them in my neighborhood. Sister, I didn't mean you're no disrespect. Wow. So you're doing all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:48 So you don't want coffee. Well, no, I drank, I broke no caffeine. I drank coffee like the last three days. It might be the hardest one. It is the hardest one. It is. Because the no porn, you just jerk off. It's done.
Starting point is 00:47:59 The no gluten, I can still eat rice. You jerk off, which is what you're going to do anyway. Like, I'll just use my imagination. I'll get back to the basics. It's not like no jerking off would be a much harder thing. Way harder thing. Because no one's watching porn and not jerking off. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Or nobody's normal. But you can, but you can just go into your memory. And I've definitely noticed it's like I'm way. more like I'm losing that I was desensitized before like like I'm easier to get turned on well like it's just better it's better it's better for your brain the no booze I got a little too casual with booze I was always like either we're drinking or we're not but I got to like I'm at a show give me give me a white claw give me a blah blah and I've never been like that before and I was like okay we got to cut that that's got to go yeah we're just like yeah it's

I spent 12 on one yesterday. And they have this thing over there that they love called Highball, which they have on tap.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Highball is basically Seltzer with whiskey just together. And then you can get it in cans and all sorts of different stuff. They love Highball over there. And, oh yeah, the convenience store, if you go, you got to get... They showed me this little hack. So it's late. Say you can't know like ramen or anything's open. You go to the convenience store.
Starting point is 00:50:21 You get one of their egg sandwiches, which like, it's egg salad sandwich or a convenience store. Dip it in rum. You get, they also have fried chicken on like this like little rack thing. You get fried chicken, put it in the egg salad sandwich. That was the shit, dude. Wow. Yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:39 They, A, there's so many little food hacks over there. The food was unfucking. So, yeah, here we got, so we went, one of our first meals was at McDonald's in Japan. So this was a terriaki chicken. Terriaki. How do you guys say? Oh, pasta. Pasta.

Starting point is 00:51:32 due. So we go to the digital kiosk thing to order in Japan. And he just starts ordering like rapid. And I was like, dude, because we had been doing a little dulingo before, learned some Japanese. That's smart. Yeah. That's real smart.

Starting point is 00:52:30 I can't remember eight or nine, but pretty good, pretty good. That's great. But also, you haven't, that's six months ago, eight months ago. Yeah, yeah. That's great. I kept up with it a little bit after to be like, I watched a lot of anime, so I was like, well, you know, I'll use it. And I'll be able to, if I'm watching anime all the time and I'm still learning Japanese, I'll keep up with it.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Yeah, next to the machete for sure. I don't be next to the machete. I also, yeah, I have no clue who the guy on their money is. No idea, bro. Nice. Madding. Yeah. This wall going.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Yeah. Nice. What's the machete from? Ecuador. Nice. Yeah, we'd always have these, we'd stop and get these cocoa frios. You know Spanish at all? Coco frio like iced coconut kind of thing?
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just cold. Yeah. And then so they chop open the thing, put a straw in there. But then you're like, you drink it out. But if you took it and left, you'd be like, oh, I can't get any of the meat. Yeah. But if you did it there, they'd be like, when you're finished, they chop it open for you
Starting point is 00:53:30 and make a little spoon out of the husk. And you could like eat all the coconut meat. Oh. But you had to be there. And someone's like, no, we're just getting it and going. Yeah. So let's just get a machete. Yeah, just buy a machete and do ourselves.
Starting point is 00:53:40 So we get back to her staying and chop it and eat it. Oh, they were great. That's one we used all through Ecuador. Fuck, yeah, dude. That's sick. How'd you get it back here? Packed it. I mean, a check bag.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Check bag. Yeah. You can take shit like that. Okay, sick. Yeah, I try to take that and to kill Tony for some sketch and they stopped me. Oh, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Yeah, MSG.
Starting point is 00:53:59 MSG, they come over and be like, do you have a machete here? And I was like, thinking of lying. And it was like, yeah, I'm not using it for anything. They're like, no. You got it. Absolutely not. Do you have a machete here? The rumor got out.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I'm like, well, we definitely know. I do. Oh, so you got it in, but people started whispering about the machete. I parked my car in, like, I was able to drive it underneath this thing we were doing for Kiltony, and it was like, and then the other word got out. And they were like, why did you tell him? Like, he asked me directly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:26 He asked me fucking directly. What am I supposed to say? Exactly. If a guy goes, not, do you have a weapon on you? Yeah. Like, do you have a machete here? And not just making sure you guys on any weapons is like straight up to me. Do you have this thing that you definitely have?
Starting point is 00:54:36 Yeah. You got me. Sometimes you got to just let it go. There's the rectum. Oh, there's ramen. There's one, I think I do. So you would just try everything. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:47 That's the stuff that's the 7-Eleven, like crack it open? Exactly. What a snack. Yeah. Real fresh rice. I wish I had a video of how it would unfold. It was so cool because you would just, you pull like three tabs and then the whole thing, the seaweed would just wrap perfectly around it. But that was one of our first meals.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Is that the guy I saw you with in Tompkins? No, that's not. You saw me with Jacob and Andrew. in Thompson Square Park. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are Jacob and Andrew both comics. This was just some of the ramen we got. I think this might have been...
Starting point is 00:55:19 Was it really good? Oh, it's so good, dude. So good. The thing they really like out there is you can get Carbonara Udon. And so they make like a Carbonara broth. Yeah. And then they put like hunks of like bacon and all this stuff in it. And then you have these like thick noodles.
Starting point is 00:55:39 It was so unbelievable. Wow. Carbonara udon was by far one of the best things. Carbonara udon. Oh, yeah. Sounds great. This is more wrestling stuff. This is the donut.
Starting point is 00:55:48 This is the donut I was telling you about. Is that typical or is that? Nice. Yeah. You know that account? Secret buttholes. No. It's an Instagram account.
Starting point is 00:55:57 And it's just all things that look like buttholes. Yeah. That would be deep on there. That's like a good secret butthole. Yeah. Okay. Where are we? That's more.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Wait, right. Go back to the tits. Yeah. Now that I know the context. So that's what you stick on yourself so you can squeeze some of these tits. Yeah. So you could put this, like you buy these giant silicone tits. You look white as shit there.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah, yeah, dude. I definitely did not have a tan going in there. But this, and this place was like seven stories tall. Every floor was like a different theme of porn. Like one was just like all hentai like magazines like manga. And then there was like different fleshlight section. There was like a dildo section. There was one that was like more novelty.
Starting point is 00:56:32 They had like weird flavored condoms like wasabi, sushi, Mount Fuji. Oh, wasabi flavored condo. Yeah. I mean, I get strawberry. I get nothing, but like, first of all, who's blowing somebody through a conom? Besides the Tijuana hooker that did it for me. But like, obviously that's a fucking, you know, risk of the trade. Yeah, yeah, that's what you're not saying.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Also, like, blown was crazy. Crazy. Yeah, you're feeling that buzz in your brain. Yeah, maybe that's part of the fun. Yeah, you got like, you know, you get that where you get the horse rider shit like out of your mouth. Yeah. Yeah, dude. But this, yeah, that place was just, that was one of our.
Starting point is 00:57:09 first stops. Like, this is all in Akia Barra where like all the big, all the big tech stuff is. Then there was like all these figurines like this. Tons of shit that was like super horny. And we talked to some people who, so when we were hanging out with the drunken Japan guy, there was also a chick with him who had one he like did basically, I'm taking one person to Japan and I'm going to tour them around. It was some girl who had lived in Japan for like eight years, this English chick. So she was like telling us all about living in Japan. And stuff like this, these kind of figurines, dudes will put them on their desk at work. They'll have, like, the horniest display of just, like, anime, like, borderline porn chicks
Starting point is 00:57:46 just on, and it's just like how you express yourself. Wow. This was a top ramen restaurant that is known. Did the local chicks talk to you at all? There was, so what we didn't find out until, like, it was like our last day, and we kind of fuck this up. If you're going to Japan, you're trying to get laid, ask about guy gin bars. So the guy gin is what they call, like, the whites, the tourists.
Starting point is 00:58:07 and so you've got to find Gaijan bars. Wouldn't that just be all tourists? What's that? Wouldn't there just be all tourists hanging out with other tourists? But some girls go to the Japanese girls go to the Guyjin bars
Starting point is 00:58:17 to specifically fuck tourists because there's a big... It's like those people went on J-Date because I'm not Jewish but Jewish chicks want to fuck. Yes, exactly. The Jewish chicks go on J-Dade to find Jewish guys but also like, well, all right. And there's a huge...
Starting point is 00:58:30 Like Japan is its own world. It's an island. It's been isolated forever and it feels that, way, but not in a bad way, not where you're like, where the fuck am I? But you can tell that they're like, their customs are different. How they talk to people is different. How they interact is completely different. The way they respect the rules and everything is different. So some of these chicks are very like, I only fuck Japanese dudes. And some of them are like, I
Starting point is 00:58:52 really, really, really want to fuck a Westerner or a foreigner because this is such a different thing to me, dude. And one of the wildest things we did there was we, when we're hanging with a drunken Japan guy, he was like, hey, do you want to like hang out with some porn stars? And we were like, yeah? And so he took us to this place. They have a thing over there called Girlfriend Service, similar to like the Muscle Girl Bar where it's kind of girls like put on a show or they hang out with you. And he's like, we're going to go to this one specific one. You go in, you sit down, you pay like a flat rate to get in. So it was like 80 bucks to get in. And then that included all you can drink and like 40 minutes of seating time. And so you sit down in a booth.
Starting point is 00:59:32 There's like four dudes of us sitting in this booth. We have our like, the whiskey. they bring over, then four girls come over. And the girl comes and she sits with you, and she's talking to you. And then immediately this girl's like doing Google Translate on her phone. And she was like, oh, do you know the services? And I was like, no, no. And so she keeps typing and she's like, like, kiss, kiss. You want to kiss?
Starting point is 00:59:54 And so like I start making out with this girl. And then she's like, yeah, touch, touch. And she like pulls through. And she's charging you for it? So you get charged for time. So the girl would stay for 20 minutes. That's two girls. And so if you want to keep staying after that, you pay again to keep the extension going.
Starting point is 01:00:10 And then kiss and tits, there's not extra. Not extra. Not extra. You touch the tits, and then she gets on, and she's, like, straddling me. And then I'm, like, suck in the tits, dude. Wow. But the guy who brought us. She had little jappy tits?
Starting point is 01:00:23 Little jappy tits, dude. Everyone over there had little jappy tits. And they also kissed weird. They would kiss, and then they would do this, like, a horizontal move with their tongue, like, uh, like a lizard. Like, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, d, what? Yeah. dude. Weird.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Then I'm sucking this Japanese girl's tits. When we were little, we say that's what their pussy's like, but no, that's what their tongues are like. That's what their tongues are like, dude. They kiss sideways. Yeah, okay, so what? And so she, I'm sucking her tits. She lifts up my shirt, starts sucking my tits.
Starting point is 01:00:52 No. Yeah, dude. She's sucking onto my tits. And I was like, yeah. My buddy starts dying laughing because we were like, like, she's like so, like their English is not that good. But she starts talking to me like, So, like, what do you like to do?
Starting point is 01:01:07 And I was like, I don't know, like, video games. Like, I like, I'm like, I don't know what to say this girl. She's like, what video games? And I say Eldon Ring. And my buddy burst out laughing. He's like, yo, this guy's doing the Eldon Ring game? What the fuck is this guy talking about? And they would, like, give you a card at the end.
Starting point is 01:01:25 So she gives me a card before they swap her out. And she goes like, oh, so, you know, if you want me to come back, I'll come back more extreme services. And I was like, part of my brain was like, fuck. Yeah, but the dude who brought us there wasn't the drunken Japan guy. It was like someone he worked with. I knew we were already kind of getting fleeced because we went to this other bar before and he was like, oh, it's like so much to get in. Everyone throw me some money.
Starting point is 01:01:47 And then we all threw him some money. And then we went in there. And then I remember he was supposed to give me change back and he never did. And I was like, I'm not going to bring it up. This guy's kind of fleecing me right now. And so when we were in the place, he was like, oh, yeah, it's three girls. It's only two girls. So then the third girl comes.
Starting point is 01:02:02 And he's like, oh, you guys want to keep staying? And then a fourth girl comes. So then we pay double. time and he's probably getting a cut of like bringing people in and shit and that's a lot of it always Vegas the same way it's like guys want to the strip club like no you're pushing us through because they pay you to let us off there exactly and so when we all leave we go okay we're like I just pay it all on my card and it was whatever like 320 bucks for like this like for everybody for everybody can you fuck I think I didn't go after the extreme services
Starting point is 01:02:29 because I was like I know we're already getting fleeced by this guy so I don't know how she's going to try and fleece me right now I'm like I can only get fuck So many ways. Let's see what these up sales are. Exactly. You ever buy a sprite for a girl at a strip club that doesn't have alcohol? No. Like, can you buy me a sprite?
Starting point is 01:02:44 Yeah, all right. And then it's like $18. Oh, right. You don't want a sprite. You get free sprite. Exactly. Why the fuck would I buy you a sprite? So, wow, interesting.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And so you booze during this too? Yeah, you booze during it. The girls would like pour you a drink. They would like take the little decanter thing. Girlfriend experience sort of like they're like waiting on you. They really. And one girl who I was with, she showed me, like they have the JAV, like they have the J-A-V is like their porn, like their porn hub kind of thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:13 And she was showing me like these are all like the pornoes I've been in. Like this is my body of work. Yeah. She showed me the whole breakdown, dude. Body of work is a great phrase for that. Yeah. But then when we left the dude because we're like, okay, well, I'll, I was like, I'll pay it on my card and then we all split. And then so we left and then we go meet up with the drunk of the Japan guy.
Starting point is 01:03:33 And then the one dude who brought us in there tries to leave. And I was like, whoa, wait, we got it. And he kept being like, man, I don't even have any money, man. And we're like, I was like, what the fuck you're talking about? The guy brought you in? Yeah, the guy brought you in. He's all my fucking changed from before. Yeah, exactly, dude.
Starting point is 01:03:47 And so the dream is just see tourists and try to get money out of them. Oh, one. You're gone. Next guy, next guy. Next guy. But then the drunken Japan guy kind of took him aside and then he came back with money. And he was like, dude, I'm so sorry. Like, I haven't really worked with this guy before.
Starting point is 01:04:01 I fucking like, I. The drunk of Japan guy said that about the other one. Yeah, yeah. but the buzzed in Asia. Yeah, and so he got it all settled up. He's like, I don't want any bad blood. The drunken Japan guy ruled. He was a really fucking cool guy.
Starting point is 01:04:13 And he made sure I got, this guy paid his fucking cut of the titty suck in time. But that was the closest we got to get in fleeced. Everywhere you go, they'll try and fleece it. Even in Japan, where it's very honorable, they'll try and fleece you a little bit. There's people waiting around. They always say there's like, they're like, don't trust the Nigerians. There's all these dudes in the street. They're like, hey, man, my guy, you want to, you want.
Starting point is 01:04:34 lady, you want strippers, all the whole world. Hey my guy. Oh, they're so friendly. They do have, they are the ones to go to for weed though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Nigerians everywhere.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Hash and weed. Yeah, dude, yeah. But yeah, it was unbelievable, dude. It was unbelievable. It was like, I can't wait to go back. Was there anything you wanted to do that he didn't get to? I want to go to Okinawa. So Okinawa is like their Hawaii.
Starting point is 01:04:59 So one of my buddies went there for like six weeks or so. he got like let go from his job and got a big like $50,000 just like one time payout and he basically was like yeah I'm gonna go like just live in Asia and Europe for six months and so he was in Japan for like six weeks straight oh it's way south yeah and it's if you look on like on the whatever the latitude or longitude or whatever the fuck it is it's the same level as Hawaii no it doesn't count though because yeah here's why look at this longitude latitude latitude Let's put it all on the same map. So France is fucking like Saskatoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or at least northern, northern, you know? Yeah, true.
Starting point is 01:05:47 So it isn't all equal. Yeah, I don't understand it all. But it is. And Morocco's fucking North Carolina. Yeah. I mean, does Morocco get cold? I don't know. Yeah, Spain.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Look at Spain. It's Massachusetts. Yeah. Spain's hot. Maybe it goes on like an angle because the earth's tilted, right? Maybe it's an angle. Yeah. I mean, it's an angle.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Because it's never made sense to me. No, I'm not a geography major. Yeah, but anyway, look at it. So they're, yeah, like, like Southern California, Mexico almost. Yeah. And so Okinawa is supposed to have a very similar climate to Japan. And the Okinawans are, I mean, very similar to Hawaii, yes. And the Okinawans are also similar to the Hawaiians where they're like,
Starting point is 01:06:25 Hawaiians are like, we're not American, we're Hawaiian. Like the Okinawans are like, we're not Japanese, we're Okinawan. And I want to go over there, check that shit out. They also have a comedy club So there was the Tokyo Comedy Bar There's a comedy club It's just above Hawaii It's pretty close
Starting point is 01:06:39 Yeah dude The Tokyo Comedy Bar They have the Tokyo Comedy Bar But there's also one in Osaka Called ROR Like ROR Instead of Loll Wow
Starting point is 01:06:54 The crazy thing is like If you do those kind of things In the West That's considered racist They're very self-aware Of their inability to say L's And they don't care They don't give a shit, dude.
Starting point is 01:07:06 It's so funny. We were walking in Edinburgh down one of the main streets. Yeah. And I found at a thrift store, charity shop, I found this really cool, like, Chinese embroidered silk thing. And I was wearing it. And Dulcee Sloan was there. And she goes, this is cultural appropriation. I was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:27 She goes, it's like, it's like borderline blackface. And I'm like, no. And she's like, why are you wearing it? I'm like, it's pretty. Yeah. I just like, because it's pretty. She's like, I feel like you still have to get permission. And then as we were saying that, it's a tourist town, especially in the summer.
Starting point is 01:07:41 These like six Chinese people walk by. They go, oh, yeah. And I'm like, so permission? Permission? I literally, I got it, baby. If they're going RRRR, R or R. It's like, okay. We kind of get to do it, dude.
Starting point is 01:07:57 The one's here too uptight. Wow. Did you see this? No, I don't know what that is at all. This is Okinawa. Okay. Okay, yeah. That's why I didn't get to go to Okinawa.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Oh, you didn't get to? Yeah, Okinawa is, next time I go back, I'm definitely going to do Okinawa. I would do more time in Osaka. They call Osaka Rice Vegas because it's very like glitz and glam, a lot of shiny signs. Also the- But that's how Tokyo is. Tokyo is like... I saw that just now, it looked kind of like Tokyo-ish with all the signs and the Times Square.
Starting point is 01:08:24 But there's like more, I guess, like, degeneracy in Osaka than in Tokyo. In Osaka, you can find like love hotels and shit. Like when we were, we so. That's all through South America. Yeah, the love hotels. Like it's like whatever, you get an hour or you or pull right in. Pull the thing. No one's using the car.
Starting point is 01:08:44 No one sees your car. Yeah. It's super cheap. The, when we were in Osaka, we were parting with the wrestles and shit, but my buddy screwed up and he, he booked all the accommodations. He booked us accommodations in Kyoto. Kyoto's like 45 minutes away from Osaka. But taking an Uber would be like,
Starting point is 01:09:02 I don't know, it was costing us like 100 bucks to get back. And the trains all shut down at a certain time. So we're partying late in Osaka and we're like, fuck, what do we do? One of the guys goes, oh, just get one of those love hotels. Just go in one of there. It's like super cheap. So we go in and we try to get one of the room. In Osaka, Okinawa.
Starting point is 01:09:22 In Osaka. Okay. A pretty fucking place in the fall. And we try to get in a room at a love hotel and the lady won't sell it to us. She's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. And she keeps going like, two rooms, two rooms. And we're like, okay, fine, we'll get two rooms.
Starting point is 01:09:37 What's the difference? And then she goes, no, you go, lock door? Like, no, you can't. Don't leave. Don't leave. Because she thought we were trying to fuck each other. Is anti-gay? They're really anti-gay over there.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Really? And the crazy thing is they have some of the most feminized men I've ever seen in my life. But they're super anti-gay over there. I guess like, hey, dude, we've run this risk. If we're going to be that feme, it's going to be all gay in no time. We're going to lose our whole race. You think? So, like, yeah, you can't.
Starting point is 01:10:03 You can't, dude. Wow. Yeah, so that. Wow. And so we ended up just. It's that anti-gay. Super anti-gay, dude. Super anti-gay.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Yeah. This is, that looks not that picture right there, the one above. Looks super familiar. Yeah, that's right along the river, right? Yes. So there's a big river that, like, runs and basically separates Osaka into two sections, and there's a big bridge that goes across. Here you'll find, like, tons of normal, like, Starbucks is there.
Starting point is 01:10:29 H&M is there, like, all the irregular shit. Sahi dry. And you also want to eat the taco, takoyaki, I think it's called, takoyaki. What is that? I've heard of that. They're like these, like squid balls. They're like fried squid. Or it's like dough that's been fried with squid in it.
Starting point is 01:10:49 And they are, they're from Osaka. So there's tons of takoyaki places. So we kind of went and ate a bunch of takoyaki there. It's one of the things where you're like, you're going to burn the- Squid balls. Squid balls. You're going to burn what? You're going to burn the fuck out of the roof of your mouth because they come.
Starting point is 01:11:02 They're like gooey on the inside. They like, it's not fully cooked like a, like a piece of bread or something. It's kind of soggy. But, yeah, that was like probably one of the greatest things we ate while we were there. So you must have just, oh, wow, look at this, a squid in it. Yeah, yeah, dude. Wow. Dude, we ate.
Starting point is 01:11:20 It's good? Oh, yeah, we ate super good over there. We ate tons of ramen. Ramen was probably the thing I ordered the most and ate the most. We only got sushi once and it was kind of mid. Yeah. And I think it was. I always only thought of Japanese food as sushi, and then I learned about ramen and, like, and fillets and like shit like that.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Yeah. Oh, I thought it was just sushi. And so we... And udon, I don't know what the difference was it was like udon and ramen is. Udon's like a thicker noodle, I'm pretty sure. It's a thicker noodle, different kind of broth and stuff. But we wanted to do an omacase while we were there, but it was like they're, dude, you could be in just Tokyo for like two or three weeks and there's still so much to see. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:00 A big mistake we made was... moving to too many different cities. We should have done... That is a mistake, huh? Just... That'll be a good travel tip in general. Like, don't go see the whole country. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Do stay... Like, we stayed overnight in Kawakuchiko, which is close to Mount Fuji. I actually should have a picture of us at... Yeah, this is all the Mount Fuji shit here. So this is like... There's Mount Fuji in the background. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Yeah, with the Corner Comedy Club. Yeah, represent. That's the comedy club I came up in in Toronto. I went to Omokasasasas. Sushi by Scratch. This guy, Philip has one. And he was like opening weeks like when it comes like okay he's like an awesome guy. Yeah, he just hung out with her.
Starting point is 01:12:37 I just thought it was a sushi place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it was at Omicasse where they really serve everyone at the same time. High, high end. They like sear stuff right there. Everyone's like one piece of sushi like specifically. It was so good. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:48 It was so good. It was sushi by scratch. It was so fucking good. I got to try that. I got it. Yeah. Norman went later. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:56 I saw Mark Garnia on there. Yeah. It was just so good. And I had just been bit by a bunch of nymph ticks. so I couldn't have meat at the time. So we had this like... Is that a thing? Yeah, the nymph takes carry alpha gal instead of lime.
Starting point is 01:13:09 And it'll make you like allergic to red meat or something. Forever. Forever, yeah. Yeah, so you have a certain pair of antibiotics until it's like cleared out of your system. Yeah. If it's about to be set off, as long as you don't set it off, you're fine.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Yeah. But if you do set it off, you just can't eat red meat forever. Wow. So it was like, he was like, you're sure? We were both like, we just risk it. Like, no, no, don't risk it. Yeah. And so we had to just watch everyone.
Starting point is 01:13:31 And he was mocked. us. He was like, so this is bone marrow. It's like cooked in this way for anyone who can eat it. And he goes, here's a piece of fish for you again. Dude. I mean, it's not worth the fucking risk. No, it's not. But we eat a steak again in your life. Yeah. I bet, dude. Yeah. So that's Mount Fuji behind it. That's Mount Fuji. Yeah. So there was like, we stayed in this little place where you like slept on the floor in, uh, in, uh, in Calhucucco. Yeah. Did that thing where you ate like this on the floor?
Starting point is 01:13:57 No, we didn't, we didn't do the full eating on the floor. But we slept, we like, we would, I don't You lay on your side with the fucking junk food we got in the place where we're eating there. Then, oh, this is the Asahi dry, dude. Asahi. It's their beer, huh? We drank so many of these. Every place we go, be like, you want to get a crispy boy? They'd be like, fucking 10 a.
Starting point is 01:14:17 That's your cold snacks. That's the Japanese cold snack. Oh, dude, it was so many Krispies. Wow. It was so nice. You call them Krispies? Oh, yeah. It's so great when you have a thing with somebody, like, you're just like, that's going to be our thing.
Starting point is 01:14:30 Oh, yeah. This trip. We, and we drank, I don't know how. I'm not a big beer drinker, but we drank so many beers. And it was so good. It's a cold. Oh, ice cold. Ice cold.
Starting point is 01:14:38 You would pop it. And then they also, they had, um, they had two taps. They would have a tap for like, fucking pouring the beer. And then they have a tap to put the foam on top of the beer, dude. So it's like perfect foam every time. And the foam is like, because normally you get your foam on your beer, you're kind of like, I can't wait for this to go away. It's almost like, uh, the, like blocky.
Starting point is 01:14:59 This was like, it was like creamy, dude. It was so, the foam was great. Wow, like a Guinness foam was like a good one. Exactly. So this was leading up to where we were going to Calcguch. You got your two bears 5K shirt. I have one of those. Yeah, I'm going to throw it away somewhere, but I had it.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Yeah, I think I got a couple of them hanging around somewhere. I think I got like a large and an X-L. Yeah, it's weird. It's like, just give me both. Yeah, they're like here, you guys want some shirts. Ah, but there was like this temple you could stop at. So on the way to Mount Fuji, you take a train that goes all the way from, it's like you're taking the bullet train from.
Starting point is 01:15:29 They had the bullet trains? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, and the bullet train was sick. We got like the J-pass, which is like you can take a bunch of the subway with the J-pass and take the bullet train as much as you need to. And they named after Jews? They named after Jews, dude. It's crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:15:43 J-pass. Yeah, well, it's a train. Yeah, oh, right, right, right. And we know what side of the war they were on. So, yeah, they're not forgetting who they were. The only benefit they got like, how were the Japanese to Jews? I'm like, there were no Jews there. I'm like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, the Chinese, though, they fucked up the Chinese. Chinese, dude. Yeah, the China. The history there is not great. When you find out, like, because my buddy was a teacher in Korea, and he said to like one of the kids was like, teacher, teacher, 1944, Japan. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:17 But then you find out the history and you go like, oh, your beef is real. Yeah, they had the Nanking, the chat of Nanking. Yeah. There's another word for it, but whatever. But like, they got into a walled city. They broke through or whatever. And then they got in there. and they go, shut the doors behind us.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Yeah. And then they were just like ravage that town. Are there some story of two Japanese soldiers having a competition of seeing who could kill the most people with swords? And they would kill people with swords and then come back with an ear. And apparently they came back, they tied and then went to do a tiebreaker. Isn't that horrifying? Yeah, yeah. In terms of like competition, that ties suck.
Starting point is 01:16:57 Yeah, yeah. You do need the tie breaker. Yeah, you need a tie breaker. Yeah. And now they don't have a military. It's an overtime. Yeah, they dominated another way. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

So, okay, this area in Shinjuku, all of Japan was super clean, super nice, and super together. And then when the drunk of Japan took us to, like, this one area where the, There was like greasers, homeless people.
Starting point is 01:26:23 We saw our like first homeless guy. Wow, really? And even, Kate, homeless people over there, we drove under this bridge and they're like, oh, this is kind of where some of the homeless people are. It was like five homeless people. And they all have their like, they had little tents or little boxes set up. They take off their shoes before they go in. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:26:40 I love when people think that their thing is, like we saw them marching in Montreal about raising the tuitions. Yeah, yeah. Oh, they're really rebelling here. Yeah. thousands of people marching down the street. Yeah. And we're like, what are they, what is it?
Starting point is 01:26:53 How much are they raised into? They're like, it's going from like 700 to 750. Yeah, like, fuck that. Oh, fuck you guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think that's you gotta rebel though. You got it or it'll become $40,000 a year.
Starting point is 01:27:05 Exactly. They go like, let's just 50 bucks. What do you mean? It's just like, I like, that's what the NRA does. Yeah. No, we don't necessarily want random people that have machine guns. You start taking steps. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:16 You're gonna take away our guns. Yeah. We don't want you to do it. We don't. Exactly. So you can't touch the guns, dude. I like how the French freak out. The French, as soon as you try to touch anything they do, they just burn shit to the
Starting point is 01:27:27 ground. They fuck their parliament. They're like, fuck you. When that Emmanuel Macron, when he was going to swim in the river and they all did the mass defecation in the river. Dude, yeah, did you hear about that? No. So when the Paris Olympics were happening, they were like, we're going to clean the river
Starting point is 01:27:42 sands or whatever that river is there. And so they did this mass cleaning thing. cost like billions of dollars. And then the prime minister was like, to prove that it's clean, I'm going to swim in it. So the people of France planned this mass defecation thing that they were going to shit up river from a wharf like in a horde of shit. And then he never ended up doing the swimming. But it's so funny that they came together to shit on the river, dude. Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 01:28:13 Okay, this is some, I think some temple stuff from when we were in. And this might have been Kyoto. I'm not too sure. What's your religion there? I don't know what the religion is there, dude, to be 100% honest. Oh yeah, this is more Super Nintendo World shit. Yeah. Yeah, I think this is where we started.
Starting point is 01:28:29 I have no clue. I have no clue what the religion is there. I think some people are maybe Christian. There are definitely people still go to... I saw Shogun. Was that a show in the last five years? Yeah, show gun. Yeah, and it was like during the Pan and the Jopans
Starting point is 01:28:41 where Christianity was in there big, but then the old religion, it was like a battle between the Christians and this. And they had all these like outreach people, whatever they're called, Christianity. Like the missionaries? Missionaries. So they like really started spreading Christianity. But other people like, I'll be Christian for like politics here because this will get
Starting point is 01:28:58 me ahead in this town. Yeah. Like no. But then it was whatever the other religion was. Yeah. They definitely still go to like we would go to a temple and then drop a little bit of money. And we're like, they're so wrong about stuff in this podcast all the time. And I'm like, yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:29:09 We're not, I'm not researching it. No. We're just fucking two dudes shooting some shit, dude. We're telling you about some trip I went on. It's like, bro. I was like, chill out. Go on a trip yourself. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:18 Sounds great. Oh, yeah, yeah. I, I couldn't. Shintoism. Shintoism, okay. Make up 70% of the total population. They would, they would do like, if you went to. Buddhism makes 69.8% of the population.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Oh, I don't know how that adds up. Yeah. Maybe some people double up. Maybe you can double religions there. You can stack just in case. Just in case here, I'm like, if I die, I got, I invested in multiple places. It's like you don't want one portfolio. You want portfolio.
Starting point is 01:29:45 diversified in case something goes wrong. Exactly. Yeah, dude. And they had rules like, I would say if there's something you should follow while you're in Japan, just get an understanding of some of their pleasantries. Like, learn how to say thank you. Like, what was it? Agatto-go-z-a-mas.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Learn like- These are tips right now. Yeah. That's where we get to. Okay, go ahead. Learn, like, how they walk on one side of the street, not the other side of the street. The no smoking anywhere, whereas smoking sections you should smoke. Learn the acceptable customers.
Starting point is 01:30:19 Yes, they're very... And language. They're huge on not being rude. They don't want you to be rude, and you come over and you're like a rude, loud westerner. There's like no talking on the train. Just... No talking to the train.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Love that. Yes. Love that. You know, who would not like Japan. Every black woman. Yeah, no, they would hate it. Yeah. Speakerphone, loud, talking.
Starting point is 01:30:42 Oh, the Puerto Ricans could not make it... could not make it better. Not at all. Dude, he saw this Puerto Rican guy the other day. He had, all he had on was this was in the summer. He has on a tank top,
Starting point is 01:30:55 shorts, and he's holding the speaker. No backpack with his phone, I guess, in his pocket. He literally just left home with the speaker. Dude,
Starting point is 01:31:03 that's all he brought. You have some respect for, oh, whatever, whatever. It's crazy to me because the speaker costs more than the headphones. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:10 And if you get the headphones, like wired headphones at Target, come with a warm. A two-year warranty. The worst of people do the speaker when you're hiking. Oh, yeah. Bro, bro, bro, this is about listening to the birds.
Starting point is 01:31:20 I don't want to listen to your music. No, no, no. And I'm probably on mushrooms. Right, right. You're ruining the vibe. Ruining the vibe, dude. That's good tips. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Do you have any general travel tips? Oh, general travel tips? I would say be cool with not doing too much. Yeah, the one you had before was don't go to try to go to every city in a place because Japan seems like a small country Pretty fucking big though It's so dense The bullet train can get you
Starting point is 01:31:49 Almost everywhere in that country A good general travel tip is to have Like plan a chill day That's a fine day That's a fine job Yeah like like go to a day To go to a beach to relax
Starting point is 01:32:04 We were moving a ton But there were a couple days We're like I think there was one day We were super hung over And we really just kind of veged out Maybe we ventured out got some food and went and got some drinks at night.
Starting point is 01:32:14 And it's like, just be okay with like, you're supposed to kind of chill out. You're supposed to kind of have like a relaxing time. And another general travel tip would be like, be aware of your surroundings. Understand like if you're in a dangerous country, what the drug laws and shit are, like little things like that.
Starting point is 01:32:35 That's a good tip for me. Research it ahead of time. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Like we were, something my buddy told me about going to Japan was like he's like do not take drugs from anyone like Hotomi we got to know Hotomi for a bit but he basically said there's people like that who like float around the clubs and go like oh do you want some and then you take some and then you're fucked yeah Thailand they said they had that it's changed now I think it might be legal that with weed but they were like I smoke
Starting point is 01:32:59 smoking smoking you want something you're like you're okay like we're both cops you're coming with us yeah and you're like what oh dude I thought you're being chill yeah exactly it's it's going to get anybody exactly it's like what the fuck you gave it to me I didn't even go find it. That's some craziness, dude. What crazy entrapment? I wasn't even going to find. You're like, sweet, I haven't been able to find it anywhere here. The cops are flush with it. They pull down your pants and like public indecency. You're coming with us. It's like, what the fuck, dude? You pulled my dick out. Jay, where else do you want to go? What's calling you? Oh, okay. I think the next trip is I would love to go
Starting point is 01:33:31 to Okinawa in Japan, but then you can go right over to Korea. It's super close. You can go over to Korea. I would love to go to Busan and Seoul and check out more of Asia. Train to Busan, dude. With the zombies, I've never seen it. I saw it once and loved it. Then I saw it again with my friends,
Starting point is 01:33:49 and I was like, this is cheesy as fuck. Yeah, yeah. I don't know how I saw it the first time. Yeah. It's on Canada the first time in Vancouver. That's kind of my plan for that. Korea, not bad. If everything goes tits up,
Starting point is 01:34:00 if people say society's going to collapse like they think it's going to collapse, I think South America's the move. Traditionally, like if it's good enough for the Nazis, is good enough for me, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, follow the Nazis. You can run away from war over there. Follow the march to South America.
Starting point is 01:34:14 But my buddy basically told me, he's like South Korea is like the Japanese, but more fun. They party more, they drink more, they're a little more loose. Look how much differently it's mapped out than North Korea. Yeah. I mean, look at all these roads here and stuff. Yeah, North Korea doesn't got a lot going on. Wow. No, it's not the hottest spot.
Starting point is 01:34:33 Wow. I mean, it's a network of roads. and this is just like a couple. I guess they just don't have the maps for it. Yeah, Korea would be cool. Yeah, Korea. I think that's probably next. Because then I can kind of do both.
Starting point is 01:34:46 Guangzhou. Then you can do both what? And then hop over to Japan. Or stop in Japan in your way or one or the other. There's a ferry that goes from Osaka to Korea. You're a ferry, gay-wad. But you can, it's like a hundred bucks or something. You get like a full, like, room and all this stuff, and it's super nice.
Starting point is 01:35:05 And you go right from Osaka to. South Korea and you and you just you can I think I think it stops in Busan and you go from Busan up to Seoul so that's what I would want to do how much Russia goes up over the top and then down all the way to there yeah they want that's Russia they wanted the water they wanted the water yeah yeah smart yeah oh yeah yeah there's some country like Bosnia or something and Bosnia is like encased by like Serbia or something someone is like around them and make sure that they don't go to the water Russia damn oh really yeah yeah yeah yeah there's one to have
Starting point is 01:35:36 has like a little tip. It's just like just one little. And all they have is like that much on the water. And then it's like got to go inland and then it becomes big. I don't know. What's next for you? Well, you told me you're going on that big trip. Gonna go big backpacking trip to see a bunch of new country.
Starting point is 01:35:50 But what's always calls me lately is Morocco. It's kind of fading in my mind right now. But for a while, I was so set on going. I never went. Japan is a big one. Dude, go. I don't care as much about India. Never called me.
Starting point is 01:36:03 Russia doesn't call me at all. India, it's like, okay, people that, that have gone like you got it's just not calling me Japan Tokyo specifically but now you've made me think maybe some of these other places yeah yeah yeah yeah but if there's ever been a time to go it's now it's cheap dude yeah all right on thank you dude I'll put all your bumpers and dates and stuff
Starting point is 01:36:24 when I air this but uh thanks buddy I'm glad we can do it I appreciate it fucking gave you the run around a thousand times I'm so irresponsible it was one of the two I was like hey we're doing it tomorrow you're like oh you didn't follow up I'm like, no, I didn't.

Starting point is 01:36:44 No problem, dude. Look, the guests bringing in a fucking souvenir for me. Oh, that's the episode, everybody. I hope you enjoyed it. Japan has to be on the top of my list of places I want to go. I am, um, I mean, what are we got? Japan, Morocco, some other places and I'm not going to tell you about. But no, I mean, that's it.
Starting point is 01:37:06 Japan, Morocco. Mongolia? No, those aren't even as big as Japan in Morocco. I mean, it's gotta be Japan. And I've been putting it off for so long. I mean, it was cool just getting a chance to hear about it from Czech. I am, right now, I am in, um, it's actually a good travel tip. I'm in one of the most popular beaches in Brazil, and it's empty, because it's not every day's sunshine and blue skies. Not every day's blue skies, but just behind those clouds, guess what there is?
Starting point is 01:37:35 Blue skies, as far as the eye can see. the eye can see. It's kind of a lesson on what you do on days that are not ideal. So today I'm gonna, I got my fucking knee is fucked. So I'm gonna go to the doctor. I'm gonna, um, nice lady. I love these photo shoots. Um, you know I like my Brazil? Confident fat chicks. You don't really see it anywhere else. Super confident fat chicks. They're, they're, well, I mean, listen, they tried in America to sell the idea that are like big and beautiful, but even Lizard didn't believe it. Even Lizard didn't believe it. Even the other chick from England didn't believe it. England, by the way, it's just America light. You know you're in our shadow.
Starting point is 01:38:20 Yeah, because as soon as they got the chance to go on Ozimic, they did. They wouldn't go, no, I'm fine the way I am. Judy Gold had a great bit a long time ago about, she had a deviated septum, and they go, hey, we can give you a nose job. May as well, it's free while we're getting their septum fix. She goes, no, I like my nose. I go, no, no, we can fix it. And she goes, no, no, we can understand. It won't be extra charge.
Starting point is 01:38:40 We can just take your nose down. She goes, leave my fucking nose alone. That's someone who doesn't have a problem with the big fucking Jew honker. All those fucking bitches who claim that they were like, no, I'm fucking hot. Yeah, then why are you getting on Ozzypic? Is it for the diabetes? No, it's because, you know, yeah, listen, you were working it, fine. But also, it would be nice to be a little thinner.
Starting point is 01:39:07 Not here in Brazil. Here in Brazil, they're like, no, no, I like what I got. I like it. I was talking to Monroe Martin once. By the way, happy Black History Month. Black Remembrance Month. No, that means they're all gone. Holocaust remembrance, because they're just gone.
Starting point is 01:39:27 Black history. And I had a Black Comic On. By the way, had a Black Comic On for Martin Luther King Day. Female, though. Sorry, Martin Luther King. I know you hated women. and started off February with the black comic. Guess what?
Starting point is 01:39:43 Fucking woke, bro. Yeah, Monroe Martin and I were looking at some chick, and he was like, do you like that? And I was like, no, do you? And he goes, yeah. We have a temperate. Here's my point. Black men love fat chicks.

Starting point is 01:41:23 Che Guevara Doreena. Do you know where Chee comes from? Word Che Guevara? I learned it in Argentina. It's because they fucking put Chee and everything. Yerba is Cherba. Pariabar. So they were like, that's fucking dumb. You guys are dumb to do that. We're going to make fun of you by calling you Che.
Starting point is 01:41:44 Yeah, it was mockery. They mocked him. And now we mock him by making t-shirts with his likeness in Indonesian sweat farms that America has dominated into accepting our colonization. We either get you with politics or we get you with capitalism. But either way, we're going to get you. Che Guevar is one of the... Che Guevan is one of the talented young.

Probably the number one lesbian state in America. I've had this shirt for a long time.
Starting point is 01:44:01 I've got to get another shirt. I mean, it's got fucking holes in. I brought a bunch of shirts with me just to, like, disappear. Anybody know Kevin Christie? Kevin, you remember this shirt? This Ruka shirt? It's L.A. versus New York. Remember this shit?
Starting point is 01:44:14 Anybody know Kevin Christie, ask him to look at this period in the podcast. LA versus New York. On the low, you guys, in terms of the LA versus New York battle, let me tell you something you might not really want to hear. It's a one-way battle. New York doesn't give a fuck about L.A.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Same thing with NorCal versus SoCal. Like it was like San Francisco or are you San Francisco or you L.A.? First of all, it ain't about either. It's about San Diego and Oakland. Those are the cool cities. But let's just say the big one. San Francisco versus L.A.
Starting point is 01:44:55 And they didn't give a shit about San Francisco. They never did. What are you talking about? It was a one-way battle. San Francisco, listen, great city. On the come up now, it used to be fucking better before it was come down before tech went in there and fucking ruined it.
Starting point is 01:45:09 We talked about liberal versus conservative, but how about capitalism versus fucking artists? That city was cooler when it was artists, then fucking tech came in and make it uncool and then abandoned it. They were just staying there. Same to happen to Austin. It is happening to Austin right now. Tech came in, raised all the prices, drove the artists out, and now they're leaving.
Starting point is 01:45:27 And it's an unlivable city where artists can't really go. So it's on its way down. It's still cool, but it's on the way down. Yeah, New York doesn't give a fuck about L.A. L.A. cares about New York because half the people there came from New York. Anyway, guys, that's it. Next week's episode is Ian Sterling. from, we go to Denmark.
Starting point is 01:45:48 Ian Sterling from Love Island, All-Stars, UK. Ouk, comes on to talk about Denmark. That'll be a fun one. That's the first time we've ever done Denmark. And, man, I really want to go to Japan. I mean, this episode made me want to go even more than ever. Chey, good job for getting out there. A lot of people will go, some of these comics,
Starting point is 01:46:05 all they do is just do a little vacation and then talk about it. This wasn't their vacation. You went out there. You got your hands dirty. Like I like to say, you get your hands dirty. You get your hands dirty. Wait, what's your son? This way.
Starting point is 01:46:15 See what I've wondered about filming? Even though it's behind the clouds. This way is clear. This way's probably less clear. I actually don't know where the sun is. Anyway, Chey, it gave me some ideas for when I finally go. Todorosa, we've got to like plan it. We're planning a trip, like a comedy trip, to pay for it and get a...
Starting point is 01:46:34 But honestly, what do we even need? Let's just go. Nah, let's do comedy. Yeah, next week, Denmark. That's it. Please subscribe to the YouTube account at U.B. Chippin'Pod. or the Instagram account, how you'd be chipping pot as well.
Starting point is 01:46:47 I've talked to Caitlin, and if you put up your stickers, she's going to go look for all the people who post their stickers. Let's say it was like right here. Let's say there was a post like right here. You put your sticker here, take a video of the picture,
Starting point is 01:47:02 sticker, and then look at the fucking, you know, area. You know, like go close. It's a sticker right there. You know, whoa, a ghoul finger. And then back up and then like, see. the whole thing. My friend John just did one of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. She's got to fucking post that. Caitlin. Anyone who does that or a picture, you know, picture here, picture there, like that. Okay, that's it, everybody. Until next week. I'm R.
Starting point is 01:47:31 R. Schaffer. Said it's so long. Now I've got to do ads. Oh, oh, one good thing about having a fucking sick day, having a fucking rain day, you can take care of shit. That's what I was going to tell you. You can take care of shit. I'm going to go to the doctor, take care of that, It is right by the team store of the local team. You cannot make a purchase for soccer tickets with an American credit card. You can get picks, but you can't really register for picks with an American credit card. So the only way to do it is go to the stadium or go to the team store. Team store is right by the doctor.
Starting point is 01:48:05 So I'm going to go to two for one so I can get tickets. And what else do you do? You catch up on bumpers for your podcast. And I'm going to do two ads. Ads can't be in a place like this. I got to read them. So guess what? Look at the positives.
Starting point is 01:48:21 That's my whole special. America Sweetheart, available on Netflix right now. Have you seen it yet? That's my whole special. Focus on the positives. I'm going to come back to this beach in next week's outro bumper, and I'm going to show you what this beach is like for the Ian Sterling podcast when it's fucking live.
Starting point is 01:48:39 And you'll see the difference. You know, a team store, get tickets for a soccer game. That'll be cool. I'm gonna fucking do a get a private tonight. I have to do these two ads for cash app and for what's the other one? The health thing. Then I can justify getting myself a private at the hostel because I can't do it at a fucking dorm.
Starting point is 01:49:04 Yeah, it's my way of saying like, no, I need the quiet. So yeah, it ends up being a great day. Yeah, it's not blue skies, but guys, blue skies in the inside. I'm Ari Schaffir saying, oh, Obrano. No, no, wait, wait. How do you say, uh, Sayonara? Wait, that might actually be it. I think I might have guessed one. Sajanara, that's Japanese, right?
Starting point is 01:49:31 All right, bye.
