Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
Just getting back from vacation and look at them coast
to Boy Josh and Andrew. They look like they just
had a great vacation.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah, it' said just got laid looked, But I don't
did you get laid on vacation or is this a vacation?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, that was a delay in response.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Wow, well I think I told you this.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We're pretty convinced that Andrew has some secret family in Japan,
because the man is obsessed with Japan and he has
he has to go back often.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Well, this is his third trip, right, Yeah, Andrew, So
you took coach to Boy Josh Long your first time?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, a time, Yes, yes, Japan. Andrew booked pretty much
the entire experience for me.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Talk about it. The gosh, the film, film, film, the video,
and of course the photos you posted unbelievable. The food
just it looks like you're in an amusement park, but
it's Japan.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
The food is so good. Yeah, I need to go back.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, so you can go back.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
My poops got different over there, Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Talk about it like a like a Ramen kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Oh my god. They have everywhere the days but.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Days toilet, yes, yeah, with oscillating water, like Josh, you
should come over.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
I have that in my house in a heated seat,
said the whole thing. And a hair dryer. It was,
if you have hair down there, it'll dry.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It can swallow twenty golf balls.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But go ahead talk about your poops. We're into that.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
In the grossest bars too, they have bidets. It was,
maybe you can get one in your house. Then I
do I have a to you.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Okay, I'm hoping you come back from Japan with more
than the toilet. The food is amazing.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I have to say, it's completely I think underrated as
a food mecca. I mean it has everything and anything
you want because the chefs all go train in countries
like Italy, fre ants, you name it, and then they
come back and open these restaurants.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
There.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
The pizza I'm telling you, it's an emerging pizza city.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Hey, I saw you guys went to that. It's actually famous,
that pizza oma. Yes, the pizza bar on thirty eighth
it's in the Mandarin Hotel.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
There.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
It's like eight courses of pizza and some of them
even have fish on it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It is so good, except for the fish one. Okay,
I was fished by that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Now, Josh, you know, I've heard mixed reports about how
the Japanese citizens feel about American tourists. Did you ever feel.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Like you were? No?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Everyone was so nice. Okay, all right, they're the the
Kneepon League baseball league. They also have playoffs in October.
So we went to a game. Some guy gave me
his eel jerky for no reason at all.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, God, can we talk about what's what's what's it
feel like to get a neil jerky?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I smelled it, then I went to the bathroom and
threw it out. That's not very nice. Again, it was
overfished by that point of the trip. But you know what,
but Josh, I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Looking at the average height of tip of Japanese people,
I mean you you were much taller. Were you always
sort of on display?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Went?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I did notice, Like even Andrew too, felt it like
they stare at you a little longer, and then like
once you make eye contact, they look away, then you
look away, then you look back and they're staring at
you again.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, yeah, well but I love that. Give me the attention. Wow,
we all, you know what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I gotta be honest. We always do a double take
when you walk down the hallway here. So it's, uh,
it's like you're working in Japan here, but Andrew, you
have this fascination where you do go back and are
you already planning your next Japan.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Trip without doubt? I am Andrew. Get yourself a little
place there.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Just love it so much. It's such a nice culture there.
It just seems like everybody looks out for each other.
I feel sometimes here it's very like individual, Like you're.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Just explaining this. I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I think here we just value like ourselves more than
the whole. So, like even something stupid like trash there,
there are no trash cans. You hold on to it
until like you're home, and then you throw it away
there because it's like the trash is yours, that is
your personal property. You have to bring it to a bin. Here,
it's like, oh, I'm just gonna throw it out whatever.
(04:20):
Somebody else could clean it up for me. It's just
little things like that, like everyone waits at the lights
even though they're no like no cars are coming, like
you wait for it to be green.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So there is a respect, a higher level of respect
in Japan for other people.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
And they're looking fellow. Yeah, they're just looking out for
each other. And there's just a sense of like kindness
between people that I just think is maybe lacking a
bit here, right, Yeah, gandhi, what's up.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
He also said something about how being there made him
feel like when we're here, we're just in a prescription
plan for every subscription plan for every single thing, because
so much of what you wanted and needed was free.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Yeah, like stupid little things. The luggage arts six bucks. Here,
they're free, like little things, Like even the Metro is
so much cheaper, and they encourage you to like, I
don't know, it's just it's just different. It seems like
everything there is meant to make everybody's lives better.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You should start a business and call it Japan Drew
Books for you. Except for our tour of Hiroshima, it's different.
That was my fault.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Well, so it was what happened in Hiroshima.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
It was supposed to be a car tour. It was
like the hottest day of the trip, so it was
a walking tour and we paid a lot of money
for that.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Wow, it sounds like you have a problem with that.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Yeah, our guide was older too, so it was like
we just basically took Peepa out for the day.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
So did you spend more time in Tokyo? Did you
go to Kyoto?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Whatever? Where'd you good? You do?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
We did Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima for a day, but
Tokyo is our main base for for most of the trip, right, Yeah,
so I I really loved Tokyo so so much.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Now I've heard that, I mean, being in being English speaking,
getting around Japan is extremely easy, especially Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean, things are well signed whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But we heard you during the song Andrew, you actually
spoke some Japanese for us. Yes, do you want to
share that with everyone?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
ARETI gato, that's thank you, fok who, that's fork?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, that's not but that's not how you say it there.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, you did a really good job pronouncing everything.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, because in Japan that they haven't more of a
sing song ey way in our ears anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, so you want me to say it like that, you.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Want to fork? You would say funk who okay.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
And a knife knife who and a spoon sappoon.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
If I were to say thank you.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Oh, already got to go Zei Moss.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah, oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yes, yes, it was very nice. I didn't think I
was going to say it, but then I kept saying,
all I got to go ze mos to everybody it
was great.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And were they appreciative of you at least attempting to
talk to their language?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
They were, And so I take back my original state, Man,
you should try and speak some of the language to
the people.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yes, there you go. What's up?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I am fascinated because apparently the best pizza in the
world is in Tokyo, and you guys ate it is that?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Right? Is? Can this possibly be? It's a leak? You
need to go just for thee in Japan?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They said, yes, Scary, mind blown you your head's literally
about to blow up.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You should go, Scary, I do want to go? What
do I tell you every morning? Andrew? You do want
to go to Japan? Andrew? Would you want?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Would you go to Japan with Scary? I think it
would be a different trip. I think it would be
very much a bougie luxury trip, which you know what,
I'm all game four.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I love a.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Boogie luxury trip. But you know, a lot of people
may assume that Japan is a very expensive trip, but
you've been telling us, actually it's not. You can actually
live very well there by. It was just a little
bit of money.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
The dollar to young conversion. Take advantage of it now, people. Yes,
if it's not like that anywhere else, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Telling you you go.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I went to Greece earlier this year. I went to London.
This by far, I got more value for my dollar
in every way, shape and form.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I got a value meal from McDonald's. Really drunk one night,
it was like.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Wait, hold on you, so what's the McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Like, oh my god, they have this karaokey chicken file
at thing. It was delicious, that sounds awesome, not a combo.
It was like seven and a half dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And you were drinking. You were drunk on what oh
my god?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That night?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (08:29):
A lot of craft cocktails? Because like the bar is there,
the bar culture isn't like it is here where it's
like you go and it's super rowdy. It's a lot
more like little speakeasy bespoke bars that maybe can hold
like ten to fifteen people. It's not like the usual
big crowds. You can find those in like clubs and stuff.
For for the most part, it's like you walk into
this little hole in the wall and it's like three
tables all lit by like candles.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
It's crazy, all right, So let's all get on that plane.
Let's get to Japan. How long is the flight?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Uh? Thirteen hours? This is not bad. We had no
Wi Fi on the way there. I god, oh god, No,
it was awful. It really was a sleep Yeah. I
tried to. I couldn't sleep either.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You didn't raw dog at all? Thirteen hours, just stare
out the window.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Did you watch movies?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I I did watch movies, but I was gonna download
all my podcasts once I got up in the air.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Never do that. So did you bring what? Did you
bring us anything? Any Uh?
Speaker 1 (09:20):

Speaker 2 (09:21):

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I know Nate wants some with sabby twigs.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I got a gift. They have some where's mine.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Got a gift.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I actually got to gifts. I have your gifts at home.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
God, I couldn't bring them all in one shot, but
I have more. It's not that dumb waving cat, is it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah? I got the weaving cat. That's wonderful. The goode
waving cat.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
My friend Andrew went to japad. All I got was
this waving cat.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, welcome home, guyscome home.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):

Speaker 1 (09:55):
And they got to leave a day early. They shirked
responsibility for a day.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
That's great.
