Join us for a captivating journey through Tokyo Disney Resort as we explore the magic of both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea! Fresh from our adventures in Japan, we dive into the unique experiences these parks offer compared to their American counterparts.

The Beauty and the Beast ride alone is worth the international flight—we'll take you through the stunning trackless ride system, jaw-dropping animatronics, and immersive storytelling that made this our unanimous favorite. You'll also discover how "It's a Small World" gets a Marvel makeover in Tokyo, creating a delightful scavenger hunt for familiar characters.

Tokyo DisneySea emerges as the true hidden gem in our discussion. Astonishingly, after spending an entire day exploring this massive park, we realized we'd only experienced about one-third of its offerings! From the Jules Verne-inspired attractions to Ariel's underwater village and the new Fantasy Springs area, this park deserves at least two full days on your itinerary.

We share practical insights about navigating the cultural differences—how the disability accommodation system works, why Japanese Disney fans rush for Duffy merchandise at park opening, and the peculiar challenge of translating the famous Jungle Cruise "backside of water" joke into Japanese. Plus, discover why Tokyo Disney's approach to merchandise restocking throughout the day puts American parks to shame.

Whether you're planning your own Japanese Disney adventure or just curious about how Disney magic translates across cultures, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the international Disney experience. Subscribe now and join our conversation about why Tokyo DisneySea might just be the most impressive Disney park on the planet!

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh, it was the exclusive.
You're right, it was theexclusive.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
There is a brown one, the Book of Boba Fett, one I

I did not get the black onefrom Heroes and Villains.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
You did.
There was an Obi-Wan on it.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
No, I didn't.

Old girl or old girl 21.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
It was summer 21.
We started smashing.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And then I started buying her shirts I would never
wear myself.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well, I needed the pin.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's how you know it's love.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
They didn't have anything I wanted, uh, at a
decent price.
I was just trying to minimizethe price to get the pin and I
and after, and it was no,because it was.
It was around the same time ofthe um, oh my god, the uh, that
road to celebration one, butyeah, the road.
I remember it, brown, and Ithink I gave that to her too,
because I was like uh-uh and thebrown.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
So you gave her the brown and then the brown.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I gave her the brown, then gave her the brown,
sometimes in the brown.
You know, that's how it goes.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I'm just going to start calling you UPS Lou.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Right, for real.
What can I do for you?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
That involves myself, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
But the black one.
I definitely did not get thatone because I only had to give
away one shirt and it was thebrown one, and I don't remember
what I actually purchased, but Iknow it wasn't for me.
At Heroes and Villains it wassomething that I actually wanted
, like that Sith shirt from backin the day at Comic-Con.
That's been my favorite so.
I still have that one.
That one been my favorite, so Istill have that one.
That one's my favorite in therotation.
But honestly, dude, I actuallyhaven't been back there in a

(03:48):
minute to actually pay attention, like last year.
I really didn't pay attentionto heroes and villains last year
, but they have good shit.
I just didn't bother and thendidn't you get, and then lose, a
bucket hat from them.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I was like you got it , you lost it at disney, was
that where it was disney world?
Yeah, and then I bought anotherone to replace it and I can't
find it now.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh shit, very weird.
I am not meant to have a badbatch hat, what?
No, it's funny that youmentioned you mentioned you lost
it at disney.
That's right where we'resegueing to how about that.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
This is true.
Hey, that's how we roll shitworked out.
See, we're vague and consistent, alright so.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm already home at this point.
You're home chilling.
We did the Shibuya.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Ueno.
We did all that.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
That was the Tuesday that I left.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Tuesday you left was Ueno Park, and then the
Wednesday was Shibuya, and thenthat was when we talked about
going to the Disney, checking inthe Disney Hotel and having
dinner.
And then now we get intoThursday, Friday, which was
Disneyland, Disney and thenTokyo Sea.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
All right.
So we stayed at the DisneylandHotel Way.
Upgrade from that other room wehad for the rest of the week.
There was space you couldstretch out.
You had room for your suitcases.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
The bathroom was the jam Tower closet, separate
toilet area from everything else, the sink area.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
We should have stayed there all week we tried to
remember.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
They said the limit was five days.
You could do more than fivedays, which is stupid to me.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah which is stupid to me.
We don't want your money.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
You don't want my money for ten days yeah who
cares how long you stay there?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
You?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
could have just probably made two reservations
though.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
For sure, very likely .
We thought about it.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Next time it's in Tokyo, 100%.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's like jack's gonna have a five days, stacy's
gonna have five.
Oops, you edit that out.
I'm gonna have five days.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I'm a half girl dukes yeah, because he was hitting
that in 21 as well not.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Both kids were born, then stopped.
After that it was over.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was done, it was done, alright, so you visited
the hotel.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Very nice, the lobby awesome.
Outside they had topiaries, sothey were Disney characters.
They lit them up like theelectric light parade Very cool.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
How about the same man?
Don't make people go Googletopiary, they won't know how to
spell it.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sculptures made out of bushes.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I only think that makes me think of what we do in
the shadows and Laszlo's uhtopiary garden that we're all a
bunch of just vaginas.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Missed that show.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, so um, how would you compare the the Disney
Hotel in Tokyo versus the onein Anaheim?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh, I forgot, you've done that one too, yeah, similar
.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
I mean, I wouldn't be mad to say either one the one
in Anaheim, probably a littlemore upscale, and this one was
nice, though, like I said, therewas room.
There were two beds and thentwo couches Dude there were like
four beds with those couches,because those couches turned
into beds?
Yeah, exactly so I mean we hadmore than enough space.

(07:10):
The girls didn't have to sleeptogether.
They were kind of happy aboutthat and you guys had two rooms.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Lou, you were by yourself and yeah, yeah he was
no.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's weird, though they they didn't like have
variety of rooms.
My room was the same as theirroom.
I also had two beds and the twocouch beds and all that so.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I liked it, the murals on the wall and
everything.
Oh yeah, cool.
So we got up early.
We had the Disney buffet thatwe've talked about before, with
the runny eggs and the steak forour little crackers.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
But this wasn't the uh character breakfast, this was
just the regular buffet.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, it's just the buffet in the hotel and they
only have breakfast buffet.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
There's no food at the hotel otherwise unless you
go to the convenience store inthe hotel yes, yes, unless you
go to the, the cobanian, getlose tuna sandwich, mustard tuna
mayo.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Baby, I had that for lunch.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yes, I had that for lunch yesterday not even gonna
lie walked out there a group ofus and I had me so we we got up
early enough, we got food, um,took the bus over to uh,
disneyland and they had magichours, right, because you were
15 minutes magic 15 minutesmagic quarter hour.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
That doesn't seem like a lot.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
You know what, though ?
It was useful because it waspacked.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
We got there.
Security was fine.
It was not the same as DisneyDisney at home, I should say.
We just chilled outside.
Disney Went to the bathroom.
I just hung out.
They started letting us in.
It went in fairly quick Once itopened.
We got in, we hauled out.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Did we go straight to Beauty and the Beast.
Yeah, we went straight toBeauty and the Beast.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Which is amazing, it's too bad that it was our
first ride.
It was a ride.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
It's too bad.
It was our first ride, becausethat shit was downhill from
there.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Because the Beauty and the Beast in Anaheim is a
show, right, or was a show?
I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Disney.
I thought Disney World had.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Beauty and the Beast.
I don't think they have Beautyand the Beast the ride.
I think it's a show.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, they have different kind of Hold on.
I could have swore you saidthat they had it at disney world
but you expected theanimatronics to be better in
tokyo, or am I thinking of adifferent ride?

Speaker 4 (09:30):
you're thinking of frozen, okay but I think in the
middle of uh fantasy land atdisney anaheim there's a beauty
and the beast there's, uh, ifyou're looking at the castle in
anaheim to the left, uh, wherewe got those uh pretzels last
time when all of us went.
There's a little like stage andthey'll do plays over there.
So sometimes rapunzel, beautyand the beast, whatever, um, but

(09:52):
no, this was a ride.
So it's a second castle insidedisneyland.
It's beast castle, like fullybuilt up and everything um.
The outside queue was amazing.
There was fog coming off of the,the moat, um, you go inside,
you walk through beast's umcastle and um, everything's all

(10:12):
the animated stuff right like,not the live action yeah, yeah,
no, no, hermione, um, but allthe the, the characters, they're
pretending that they're notreal, like, like the Ottoman,
his tail wags Like once in awhile you'll catch it.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Oh yeah, I forgot Walking through the queue.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Lumiere and Cogsworth are there, but they're faking
it a little bit.
So then you go in and you gointo the main entryway and then
a bunch of Japanese stuff starts.
They start telling the story ina japanese, thankfully.
I've seen the movie a milliontimes.
I know what's up.
Um, but even then they haveanimatronics come out and

(10:54):
they're freaking amazing justlike the way they move and
everything like first bell comesout and then the beast comes
out and they're both up on topof uh balconies and they
disappear.
So then you go through like asimilar.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Uh, yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
It's about on that level of um animated right.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Like animated versions.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah .
They look like the, the cartooncharacters.
Um, so then you go like throughthe servant and nobody's faking
it no more.
Mrs Potts is giving Chip a bathand Lumiere and Cogsworth are
talking.
In the hallway there's a shadowof the beast that comes by and
screams at everyone because he'sangry and pissed off.
Then they load you into theseteacups.

(11:37):
The best way to describe it,it's a trackless thing.
It's like Rise of theResistance.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
But this part is freaking huge In the teacups.
Are you facing away or are yousitting in a circle?
Everybody's?

Speaker 4 (11:52):
facing forward.
It's like two semicirclesthere's a room for four people
and then five behind.
Okay, but yeah, it's trackless,like Rise of the Resistance.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
The Runaway Railroad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I was thinking of the Luigi's Dance thing yep, that
too yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Luigi's was one of the first ones that did that.
But yeah, going through thestory and the different
animatronics, I think the firstthing you do is dinner.
Uh, be our guest.
Amazing, just if the rightended there, you'd be fine
you're good.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yeah, you would have been very happy, happy.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
but then they go to storming the castle.
When, uh, gaston and them comeand they storm the castle,
bell's crying over the beast andhe turns into the prince.
Like you know how they do thetrick, but it's still amazing to
see.
To watch it, though was unreal.
And then you go to the danceand to the and they fall the

(12:57):
final.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
The first.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Exactly, they skip the first dance.
You're still in the bigballroom, but everybody's human.
And I swear that French maidkept eyeballing me.
She totally did.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I saw it.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
But no, so we're like dang.
I don't know how it's going toget better than that and
honestly, it didn't, it didn'tthat was the best ride.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
After that, I think we started doing our lightning
lanes yeah, yeah, whatever wewould do from there is whatever
was available, like who had theshortest line to where we were.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, so we just put in the lightning lane and then
we're like, okay, well, thisone's short.
So like we did big thundermountain, similar to ours.
It seemed like a mix of Anaheimand Orlando, just like the way
the queue is where the tracksare run.
We did Star Tours.
I think that was the second orthird thing we did with Star

(13:57):
Tours.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
I was going to say I think it was the second, Because
that's when we learned how touse the disability pass.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yes, those were Star Tours.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Because they walked us to the back.
Remember, yeah, the otherentrance.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, that was the first time, that was the
second time Did you have to doall the bullshit that you have
to do in Anaheim now to get theaccessibility stuff?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
We were.
We did it before you left,though right.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
No.
So in Florida, universal Disneyout there, they have this other
program.
It's like a database where ifyou need those kind of
accommodations, you upload theireducation plans or doctor stuff
and everything.
So we brought that with usbecause in Japan they want
medical certificates andobviously we don't have that

(14:40):
shit here, right?
You don't.
Doctor doesn't say here, here'syour medical certificate,
because you have fucking autismor cerebral palsy or whatever.
We don't do that here.
So we brought that and, um, itwent okay.
At disneyland, disney see what?
They seemed a little moreresistant to it.
They eventually gave it to us.
Um, but disneyland, no, theylooked at it.

(15:01):
They're like oh yeah, we usethis all the time and said, cool
, they added it to her past.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
So we were able, we were good after that yeah, and
they don't have the limit offour people there either, so all
of us was just your party.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Yeah, so we did start tours.
It was the same as ours um butnot japanese, or was it any?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
yeah, no, it was japanese nice shit.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
What did we get it?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
was different in that you knew all the stuff they
were saying, because we've allbeen star tours five million
times too.
Exactly, but hearing it I'msure hearing it in a different
language was interesting.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah , we got an imperial droid yeah,
what was your?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
uh, what were your droid?
What were your?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
um I know we ended on purgles.
Our mid message was, I want tosay, ahsoka.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, was it.
I think it was Ahsoka.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Did you get Boba Fett ?
Or Vader to start.
No, it's just the droids.
It's the droids.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
What was our first?

Speaker 4 (15:58):
one.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I think it was Hoth.
I like the Hoth one.
I feel like it was Hoth.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
I feel, like it was.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Hoth.
But hey, you know what it wasdifferent than it's been at
Disneyland for a while, becauseDisneyland's always been for the
last year, just the same old,same BS.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
I still can't believe they haven't mixed that up.
They are now.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
They are now when this season of the Force started
, when we went the first day, itwas different.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
finally, I think we still ended with purgles though.
Yeah, but it's a freaking year.
Like good lord.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, I like purgles and all that, but let's go back
to some of the other stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
They're trying to market it for their bullshit
shows that are coming out andit's like all you're going to do
is kill it.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Right, but these shows are over, so let's go back
to everything else and mix itup again.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well, and I think you could still do a split where
you could have it be 45 pergoals, 10, this 10 Naboo 10, you
know.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
No, it needs to be all random.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
But my point is if you want to push the show,
there's other ways to handle itinstead of just making it one
the whole time.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh, I agree, my point was they shouldn't be pushing
the show.
That's what my point is.
But if they are going to pushit, then yeah sure, because I
like when it ends on Galaxy'sEdge.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
There's one ending where you land on Batuu, which
is super cool because now youcan walk over there.
So we did that, we did, theyhad a monsters ride that we
don't have here.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh, yeah, what's different between the?

Speaker 4 (17:23):
uh oh, we had the gun for that one oh, okay, yeah, so
we had like a flashlight and wehad to like, find all the
monsters or the booze orsomething yeah, you like put the
flashlight on the helmets thatare around and shit would pop
out and everything.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
It was kind of cool yeah, so similar to like toy
story mania exactly.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, yeah, cool.
It's good that it's not justthe same standard monsters like
we have here.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Yeah, disney World's getting one too.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Shit what else.
Don't look at my phone.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
What time is it there ?

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Are they open?
Yep, it's one in the afternoon.
That means I'll be able to tellwhat we did.
Is it one in the afternoon?
No, it's like five in theafternoon or no.
Good, that means I'll be ableto tell what we did.
Is it one in the afternoon?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
no, it's like five in the morning.
Uh, we got lunch eventually.
Oh, the hot dogs, yeah.
Yeah, they're like some kind offancy hot dogs yeah, it's 115,
115 in the afternoon there okay,so all the rides are open, then
?
Um, unfortunatelyates wasclosed One of the pools was
closed.
So that made Little One supersad.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
We didn't do Splash Mountain I wanted to and Little
One wanted to.
But that was it.
Nobody wanted to get wet and bewet all day.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
We did the Country Bears.
That was cool, again inJapanese.
And then we did the tiki roomleast favorite ride, but I said
literally got stitched, he'slike fine this one was better
than the one in la anaheim.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I I would be okay doing the one in japan again.
If I need to take a nap, thenwe can do the one in anaheim.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
We did Jungle Cruise, which was sad because I didn't
understand any of the jokeswe're all serious.
I don't think anybody evenlaughed.
I'm like so is she not funny?
Or are we just serious Japanesepeople here?

Speaker 3 (19:13):
I think they're serious Japanese.
There's like one or two timesthe whole ride, only one or two
times.
I can remember people laughingand it wasn't even like a heavy
laugh, it was just like like acursory yeah it was weird, or
like the little kids would laugha little bit but I wanted to
put my, my google translate on,but I couldn't hear understand

(19:34):
it yeah, so I'm like.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
So I'm like, oh, maybe I'll do the o2h.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I'm like maybe that doesn't translate here, right,
that's, that was very sad youwould think it would, because
you would think all that shit isuniversal science and math.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
And how did they say backside of water?
I?

Speaker 4 (19:51):
don't know Exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Did we go over the.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Swisher Falls?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Did you say Mizu, which is water backward?
Did you go Uzim Uzim Uzim?

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Uzim, I don't know.
And then, honestly, my secondfavorite ride was you won't
believe this Small World.
Oh no, no, we did HauntedMansion 2.
That was cool Again, japanese.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
But so disappointing oh yeah, I was like, did we do
that?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
I just googled backside of water in Japanese
and it says the backside ofwater is not a common phrase in
Japanese and it's not clear whatyou're referring to.
Dad joke Fucking.
Ai If you're asking about theKenji for water.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
It is Mizu and does not have a specific backside in
quotes in the traditional sense.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Okay, somebody needs to program.
Ai it's got GBTs Right.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Dad jokes in.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Japan.
My first thought is upload thedamn Disney script for the ride.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
But yeah.
So I think my second favoriteride there was Small World,
because it was Small World withGroot, so even outside, oh, not
even just Groot.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
It was like Marvel all over it.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
So it's similar to the Anaheim one then.
So they've Marveled it up, yeah, yeah yeah.
Anaheim did that too, no, yeah,was that?
Wait?
I have seen the Marvel one.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
You're going to tell the guy that goes there once a
month On YouTube or some shitbro.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Uh-uh, I know we've seen it.
I know I've seen it in person.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Hmm.
Because, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Because I thought it was a little excessive when we
did it.
Huh, okay, all right, I need tolay off.
I guess I need to lay off.
I need to lay off everybody.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Remember Duke was at EDC last night.
We know what they'd be doing atthe party festivals.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I need to lay off the crack my first thought was
you've been like three times inthe last four years or whatever
it was.
Have you been recently sincethen?
Because we would have heardabout that.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
I specifically didn't watch any ride videos.
I wanted to see it all.
The Tokyo Small World is coolbecause they have more different
Disney characters than Anaheimdoes.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Oh yeah, that needs to be a standard thing.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Actually, they just reopened Anaheim and they added
Miguel and Dante from Coco.
I don't know why they didn'tadd more.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Tokyo had a lot.
They had it now Every spot youwent.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, they incorporated everything.
Basically the.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Avengers thing was super cool.
They even had a small worldsounding Avengers theme outside,
which was cool.
They just had little avengersmall world dolls all over, so
that was super cool again it'sin japanese, so you don't
understand everything now I'mcoming off of my crack high.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I think I watched a video on youtube where it's one
of those like the, where theywere attractions 365 or
something, where they they doall of the rides.
Yeah, and I think I watchedthat and I was like that seems
excessive, that seems like a lotof character.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
In person it was not In person, it was better, okay,
no, it was fantastic.
It didn't feel overwhelming.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
I'm pretty sure we saw all of them and we didn't
get whiplash out of it.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yeah, I think having the Gro group theme, where group
was basically all over uh, wasfine, because now it was like a
game like find the group andthen all the other characters.
They didn't really repeat them.
There were different charactersthe whole time.
So I loved it.
I will.
It's like if you're gonna pickone of the two, anaheim or tokyo
, to ride, I'm taking tokyo 10out of 10 percent yeah yeah,

(23:43):
yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
So it's like a limited thing, so we just lucked
out to be there when it wasgoing on.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Looks like it ends the end of June for those
listening and are wondering ifyou want to catch it.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
So you have a little over a month and a half you can
get there before the predictedearthquake on July 5th.
All those people that arecanceling their damn vacations
because they think they canpredict an earthquake jesus.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
All right, so it's a small world.
Which second favorite rideafter?

Speaker 4 (24:11):
beauty and the beast.
Okay, um, so I mean therewasn't as much to do there as
anaheim, I think.
Agreed, but it made for areally nice day like we
stress-free dude, so stress-freewe were hauling ass, trying to
get on everything or making surewe do this or that.
We were just chilling.
We would stop and window shop.

(24:32):
Obviously, we don't do realshopping until the end of the
day.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Kind of a lie.
Last time you guys did buy shitin the middle of the day.
I distinctly remember Louwalking around with a giant
fucking lightsaber box fromfirst thing in the morning.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
That wasn't middle of the day, that was first thing
in the morning.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I did say the morning .

Speaker 3 (24:56):
That way it could get put away.
No, you said middle of the day.
That way it could get put awayright away and still enjoy the
middle of the day Exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
After walking around for an hour trying to find a
locker that it'll fit in.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Bruh.
Trying to walk around for anhour trying to get to the exit,
to the right bus stop.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
That was the worst part.
That was the worst part.
So back to Japan.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
No, so we were just chilling Snacks here and there.
They don't be doing churroslike we do Popcorn.
Yes, oh, they also had the BigHero 6 right there.
We did that towards the end ofthe day.
I forgot about that.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
What was that one?

Speaker 4 (25:37):
You remember you sit behind Baymax and it's like a
dance party.
We did it like it was like thelast thing we did.
But that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Because the Big Hero, the Big Hero 6 party.
We did it like it was like thelast thing we did.
But that makes sense, because,nope, the Big Hero, the Big Hero
6, the Big Hero 6 is like Tokyo, san Francisco.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
San.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Fran.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Tokyo.
Yeah, yeah, they love theirpopcorn buckets there.
They actually have a store.
That's all they sell.
You missed a popcorn bucketwhile you were walking around.
Go to the store.
They have all the popcornbuckets that they're selling
throughout the park.
So wife got the Monsters inkone with all the doors and stuff

(26:17):
.
It was really cool.
That was a good-looking buffet,and then we found a sit-down
restaurant.
Was it character dining?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
No that wasn't talking about the buffet.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, cause that's when I was like they had to make
one of us wait there.
Yeah, it was.
It was like we didn't have areservation, so it was like a 45
minute to an hour wait.
But we were already on the listfor Beauty and the Beast for
the second time, but theycouldn't do it.
So I was like, well F it, youguys go, I'll hold our spot in
line because they loved it.
I don't know, I loved it.

(26:50):
It was the best ride, but theyloved it way more than I did.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
It's more important to take the girls back, right
yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
So I stayed in line at the buffet and they went back
to the Beauty of the Beach ride.
Then, once that was done, theycame back and joined me in line
and then we did the buffet.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Real quick.
Going back to the Star Toursride, did they have the theming
like Orlando did, or was itstraightforward, like Anaheim.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
It was more like Anaheim.
You don't walk through theindoor with the giant ad at and
shit outside.
It was just walk into abuilding and start holding.
So you got to write it twiceand then you went back for or
does?
We don't know, remember, didn'the's talking about outside.
So in florida it's like you'reon indoor, there's like ewok
village and shit you walkeverything, and then it's all

(27:37):
the same inside, um.
But tokyo was more like anaheim,where you just there's a door.
It says start towards you, walkin and done, and then you're
immersed.
Exactly so.
We did the buffet, we pickedthe fuck out dude, I think they
told us, we had 90 minutes.
We used every second of that 90minutes dude.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Hell yeah, we did.
And five more minutes afterthat, Yep, the buffet.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
We were sitting at the window to have a look out at
the electric light parade so wewere like, yep, we will be
sitting here for a minute.
We got up at our at a decenttime and then we just stood
outside and watched the wholeelectric light parade, which was
cool as heck because it wasn'ton the list to do like it'd be
cool, but I think because we goto Disney so much that we're

(28:24):
kind of meh on parades.
But it's cool because we don'thave the Electric Light Parade
here anymore, either the GenieAnimatronic or the Genie Float.
Amazing dude, he just keptchanging all his lights to
Chessie, and then Incrediblesand Tigger.
It was super cool.
I'll have to upload the videosor some shit.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
But then I think we Put them in the comments or
something.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
We did our shopping.
The girls got more stuff thanthey needed.
Lou's girl got more stuff thanshe needed.
Probably shit about that MickeySamurai statue Thing was badass
.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
I can't believe you did it.
I figured if you saw it on ourway out or something.
I was like, oh, he's grabbingthis thing.
Oh, and I got to be superheroand got a three set of.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Aristocats, aristokittens, yeah.
So we were looking in themorning and my big one found
them.
He'sittens, yeah.
So we were looking in themorning and my big one found
them.
He's like oh, these are cool.
I'm like cool, we'll get themlater.
Right, we went back sold out.
But the cool thing about TokyoDisney is they're restocking
shit all day.
They're just walking aroundwith these big-ass Rubbermaid
tubs full of stuff.
There's like back on the shelf,back on the shelf.
Whereas, like in America,they're like that shit will come

(29:43):
out tonight after you'realready gone, I'm sorry bitch.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
They might do like a midday restocking and that'll be
it Like right.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
But no, they were like the whole time.
It's like it's somebody's jobjust to restock the shelf.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I think it was Cause they were like we.
I think we ran into three orfour different employees who
each had the buckets.
Their job was just to restockstuff.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah so yeah, no.
So lou asked one and I hadasked him like, dude, do you
guys still have these?
Like yeah, they're over here.
I'm like no, they're not.
So we're just kind of likespreading out, like let's find
one of these dudes that has thebucket so we can ask him luke
caught one.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
And he's like, yep, let me go check and show enough
yeah he came I showed him apicture, you know, of what we're
looking for.
Jack found it, uh, and I waslike, okay, let's see if we can
do this.
And yeah, I talked to the guyat a register.
He closed his register down,went into the back, grabbed like
five of them, gave me the onethat Jack wanted and put the

(30:43):
other four back out on the shelf.
It was.
It was so cool.
Yeah, Because because oldestchild, kind of like, was giving
up.
She was, she was like.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
And it's not often that you find all three kittens.
It's usually just Marie, butthis was like all three siblings
Nice.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
It was cool.
That's what I was like, yay.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
So then we went back to the hotel Passed out, got up
in the morning, wait a minute,so then we went back to the
hotel passed out, got up in themorning.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Wait a minute.
Did we go back together thatnight or no?

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yes, it was Disney's TV.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
We went separate.
Oh no, we had already eatendinner, real quick.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Is Disney Tokyo worth a season pass If you lived in
Tokyo?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
they had reversed.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Probably Just to go to Beauty and the Beast every
weekend.
Mm-hmm.
Worth a season pass if you, ifyou lived in tokyo or they had
reversed.
Okay, robin lee, totally justjust to go to beauty and the
beast every weekend.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Yeah and what's the old pirates that still has the
winch auction and chasing thewomen around cool okay, so then
the next morning?
I totally would.
So next morning we got up uhcommunication mishaps.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Lou got on the bus I'm texting I'm like are you

It was like he's like, yeah,I'm on the bus.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
I'm texting him.
I'm like, are you ready yet?
He's like, yeah, I'm on the bus.
I'm like we're still in theroom, bro.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
No, no, no what happened was I woke up late.
Well, I thought I was late, soI thought they were already.
I was like shit, I'm all late,I'll just get there when I get
there right my stuff togetherand I just again I'm presuming
they're already gone.
Uh, it's like nine.
We're supposed to meet at nineor something like that it was
like 905, access on for c for cso it didn't matter.

(32:18):
Um yeah, so I got up, I was likecrap, I rushed everything, went
out to the bus.
I was like, okay, I'll meet youguys soon.
I'm on my way there on the bus,and then I get a text back.
Bro, we're still in the room.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
So eventually.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Real quick.
Did Disneyland Hotel haveLawson's in the first floor?

Speaker 3 (32:41):
It was a different Kabini.
It was a Disney Kabini itwasn't a Lawson's, but they had
all the stuff that would havebeen at Lawson's.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, five different flavors of chicken nugs, you
know it.
Yeah, okay, plus Lou's on a bus.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Jack is still at the room and tuna, mayo or onigiri
as well and poke sweat.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
So yeah, so Lou's already there.
We get there, so we have totake the next bus.
It was like every 10-15 minutes, I think was the blast, so
we're 15 minutes behind him.
That line took forever.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
That line was a bitch .

Speaker 4 (33:18):
It turns out that they had some Release for Duffy
or something, because atDisneyland they're having a huge
Donald Duck celebration AtDisneySea.
They're having some Big Duffy.
You've probably seen him atDisney, he's not super huge.
Out here, donald duckcelebration at disney sea
they're having some big, uh,duffy, duffy's.
This bear, you've probably seenhim at disney.
He's not super huge out here,but out there they fucking love
him.
He's probably bigger thanmickey mouse.

(33:38):
Um, so once we got through andwe see the stores, everybody's
just running at the stores.
They're lined up.
They're going cray, you thinkit was like black friday
freaking star wars, toysmidnight release, or something
dude.
They're going cray, you thinkit was like black friday
freaking star wars, toysmidnight release, or something
dude.
They're rolling under gates andthey got shopping carts.
They're throwing children.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
It was crazy didn't uh wifey go straight there too?

Speaker 4 (34:02):
yeah, because she wanted to find the pandora stuff
that they don't sell in theparks there, to her
disappointment.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
And it was like outside of a store at Disneyland
is where it was, and to yourwallet's happiness.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Well, no, no, only for half that day, yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
So I think the first thing we did was we walked to
the back of the park to get onthe medical thing for Rapunzel,
because they just opened upFantasy Springs out there.
It's a new section of theirpark and everything.
They just made it so you don'thave to be staying at a
DisneySea hotel to go in therewithout getting up at 6 in the

(34:45):
morning.
It used to be the case we got onthe Rapunzel list.
Big One wanted to go get someice cream sandwich.
Uh, oh well.
No, we had a long ass wait.
So while we were waiting forwife because I can't even
explain how fucking big disney cis this shit was a half hour

(35:06):
walk from the front of the parkto get to Rapunzel at the back
of the park.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Yeah, when all is said and done, just jumping
ahead, we probably got through athird of the park in an entire
day.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah, there was a whole section of the park yeah,
we didn't even get to it.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
We did not even see it.
It's so freaking huge.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
I didn't even see it at Disney Sea.
That was my blind spot atDisney Sea was this part of the
park.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
It was dude, we walked in and went to the right.
We did not make it to the leftat all it was crazy.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Knowing you did that does not surprise me at all.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
That needs to be like three days at Tokyo Sea.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
You need to.
If anybody goes at be likethree days at tokyo, yeah, you,
you need to.
If anybody that goes at leastplan two days at sea, it's two
days, but you can do tokyodisney in one day, basically if
you 100 disneyland one day wasfine we were fine, yeah, um, but
yeah.
So we went back there.
We got on the list for rapunzel.
Long ass wait.
We were waiting for wife tocome because she was doing her
little pre-shopping, looking forher pandora, um.

(36:11):
So we actually did a couple oflittle rides.
We did um aladdin's magic carpetwell it's kind of like dumbo
yeah yeah, and then we did umsimbad's fantastic voyage or
some shit, which is actually alot longer than I thought it was
going to be.
I'm like, okay, cool, it's over.
And they're like, nah, sonsimba went on another fucking
mission and guess who's goingwith him?
You are.

(36:31):
I'm like cool, all right, we'vedefeated the fucking ogre and
got some money and shit likesome treasure and now we're at
the end is like good job, guys.
Moving on to the next phase yeah, you have you have leveled up
it was dlc or some shit it wascrazy and how were those?

(36:53):
Rides they're good.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
I mean, they're little kiddie rides, so they
weren't bad at all similar tolike Mr Toad type of thing,
where you're just on like atrack and kind of going through
a story not quite with the magiccarpet ride yeah, that was more
like a spinny, so that wassimilar to the Dumbo spinny.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the only downside about that ride
is I couldn't figure out how tomake the carpet drop.
Some people could make thecarpet like the ride, you could
do something and you could likesuddenly drop, just for like the
excitement factor.
I couldn't figure out how tomake my pod do that.
Other than that, I enjoyed itother than that I enjoyed it.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
It's nice and simple.
Chill help kill some time, yeah.
So at that point big one wasgoing through the app.
She's like oh, I want this, uhseashell ice cream sandwich,
which was way back over aerial,and and wanted it now didn't
want to wait, yeah, and thenagain it was before I actually
understood the the scope of thispark.
So we went back to the aerialsection, right, which wasn't far
from where the simbad ride andlittle more, and uh, tangled

(37:55):
were right, no big.
So where the ice cream sandwichwas, you actually had to go
into almost a whole nother themepark yeah, which is cool as
heck.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
It's like aerials, underwater village and shit we
go an hour there later in theday.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
That's how there's like two more, two, three more
rides in there.
There's shops, ariel'sunderwater village and shit.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
We spent an hour there later in the day.
That's how cool it was.
And there's like two, threemore rides in there, there's
shops, there's ice creamsandwiches.
I'm like holy shit.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
It's a pizza.
It's like their own restaurant,like food court area.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, it was crazy.
So she got that.
We went back.
It took too fucking long, soour medical path expired.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
No, no no, no, that's not why that is not why we made
it back in time.
You made it back in time, butat that point.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Little One had to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
So they got back.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
It expired yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
So, and we talked to him.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Yeah, so Lou's like.
Lou works his magic and bestuncle of the weekend got us back
in line.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Because what happens is, if you miss your time, you
have to go back to the back ofthe lift.
Which is another two hour waitagain, I grabbed my Google
Translate and was talking to theguy because it was like, yeah,
we missed our time.
And the guy was like well, whydid you miss your time?
I was like well, the medical.
Yeah, I was like the medicalchild had to go to the bathroom
and they immediately was like ohwell, if it's her, you know

(39:13):
Right, oh, okay.
So he walked us over to theentrance and said, just walk in.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
It was like Wife needed to go to Pandora.
No, no, no no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
That was earlier, that was earlier.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
I literally typed in medical child had to use the
bathroom is what I typed in andhe said okay, and then walked us
over, walked us right up to thefront because we were about to
just say F it and just get backon the back of the list and
we'll go do more rides again.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
But he was cool with it.
That ride, unfortunately, was alittle disappointing it was
pretty, it was pretty it.
It was pretty, the animatronicswere great, but shit, it was
short as heck.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Unlike Sinbad.
It was the opposite of Sinbad.
Unlike Sinbad.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Sinbad was a better ride.
I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Wow, you're right, though I didn't think about that
.
But man, it really was adisappointing ride.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
For the time, your times, right.
You're like, okay, I'm waitingin this amount of line for this
amount of ride, right, we waitedin line for Sinbad.
Shit was almost a walk-on Maybe10, 15 minutes after getting
stuck at the door, right, and wewere on that ride for about 10,
15 minutes.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
For real.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
We were in line for Rapunzel for two hours and that
ride was about 10 minutes, ifthat.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
I'll say 10 minutes.
You're being generous dude,yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
The length of the line does not equal how good the
ride is, so that was a littledisappointing, but we got
through it.
Whatever, it was the big one'sfavorite when she was little, we
had to do it, even though she'stoo cool for it now Cool for
everything she really is.
That's a thing.

(41:01):
Yeah, it is, we'll have tounpack that on another pod.
After that we got on the listfor Frozen Because they have a
Frozen ride there.
It's similar to the one theyhave in Epcot, so we're waiting,
and during that we went over tothe Fantasy Springs store,

(41:22):
which was cool.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
We actually did buy some stuff there already?

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Did we do lunch first ?
Did we eat?
I thought we got on the listand then went to the cafe and
ate, then went to the store, andthen came back to the
restaurant, the place where youhad to pre-order.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
The frozen restaurant .

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Yeah, you had to pre-order your food first before
they let you in.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
Yes, yes, yes, yes Like celebration.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
I can't remember if that was before or after.
I can't remember if we did thatbefore or after.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Yeah, it kind of was like a celebration, because we
were like well, we just needsomewhere to sit.
And they're like no, you can'teven come in here until you
order your food.
Show us your mobile order Dang,I don't remember.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
See, I thought it was like a two-hour wait for Frozen
, so we went and got lunch Right, and then we finished that.
Then we went to the store, thencame back and got on the ride.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
That is store.
Then came back and got on theride.
That would make sense.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
The frozen lunch was amazing too, though, because it
was like being in Elsa's castle,and stuff.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
They had the paintings on the wall and
hanging their Joan.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
It was really cool A big throne chair.
You could take pictures on it.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
That place was cool.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
And the food was good too.
So then we went shopping alittle bit Magnets, I think, the
girls got cookies and shit Liketens of cookies.
You remember uh, that, uhpicture you sent us d from the
disney store you took in likethe airport or some shit or the.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
It was the station.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
Yeah, it was one of the stations um, I think that we
got like some rapunzel cookieslike that.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
They were similar from that like uh, yeah it was
like two cookies with like afrost, a square piece of
frosting in the middle, type ofthing, and then the tin I got
was a Beauty and the Beast one.
Yeah.
But they were all individuallywrapped, which was kind of a
trip to me.
And here if you would havebought that it would have had
the box, it would have been that, but then you would have opened
it and it would have been aclear wrapping.
But this one actually had fouror five different pieces of art

(43:09):
on the wrapper itself and youopened it as one cookie, so they
had frozen versions.
That doesn't surprise me, Imean I'm sure they probably have
a whole variety of those.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Yeah, Speaking of frozen, my wife bought all the
souvenirs.
At the restaurant you could getplates.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Oh yeah, I forgot about that she got plates.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
I think she got forks , placemats.
There's like a whole fuckingkitchen, I think she got forks
placemats.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
There's like a whole fucking kitchen.
I forgot.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
You're right.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Matter of fact, every restaurant we went to, if they
had a souvenir kitchen item, shegot it.

Speaker 1 (43:39):
Dad, where's the China that I'm going to inherit?
Nope, you get fucking DisneySea plates.
There's no more.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
China.
These are your heirlooms, nowchild.
So then we went on Frozen.
It was better than the one inEpcot.
I made sure to tell the girlsto not tell Lou about the drop.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
What happened, Joe?

Speaker 1 (44:05):
It was a backwards drop.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
So it tilted you back and then you dropped no so it's
a boat ride, right.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
so you're like going through your cruise and there's
like, uh, the trolls are there,they're telling the story about
on and elsa, and then you likego into the story.
So you end up going into elsa'scastle and you like, pull up to
elsa, your boat turns becauseit like switches tracks, yeah
and.
And then you go backwards, oh,and then there's a drop oh.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
So, even worse than pirates, where Lou shit his
pants twice.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
No, pirates was worse .
No, because it was dark.
That's not how he was vibing,he's like yeah, let it go.
Let it go.
I was into Frozen.
That was my jam.
That was my jam in 2014.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
I still remember Pirates with Lou's like why are
people screaming?
Don't worry about it, lou.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, I did not yeah no no Pirates worse.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
And then we're like they were like Lou, it's fine,
there's only one drop, it's fine, oh no.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Yeah, man.
Man, there was a drop and I gotwet.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
I wasn't expecting any of that, and then we got
stuck.
While we were wet, yep yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
And then yeah, that's right.
And after all that, then we gotstuck.
Yeah, fucking pirate, yeah youyou.
You noticed that that thatfirst day when we were all there
, that back two, three years ago, uh y'all I, at the very least
uh jack's crew they went back topirates a few times like not
that is true.

Speaker 4 (45:38):
I was like I want to go.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Yeah, no, I'm gonna write star tours I'm gonna go to
star tours with dude.
I don't want to be by himself.
I ain't that rude.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
The buddy system, guys, it's the buddy system.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
You never know what might happen.
So I was like I want to stay inpairs at least.
So yeah, I was like I'm goingto go with Duke and ride Star
Tours for 90 minutes.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yep, can we just leave our stuff here, because
literally we're going to be backon this ride.
Just circle it around, justpick up all our shit, walk
around in a circle and put itback in the exact same spot, or
here's a crazy concept.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
leave us on the damn ride.
It's fine, Leave us on the rideAt the end of the day, when
it's not a full ride.
Just don't make us walk around.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
We've actually gone away with that on Pirates once
or twice.
We got to go through like twoor three times.
That's the only time we got outof the boat.
Was to redistribute the weight,and the girls wanted to sit in
front.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
It's like again end of the day.
This is not an early, it'spacked, but when you're at the
end of the last hour.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
Again, disneyland is the best after the fireworks.
I love Disneyland after thefireworks Because everybody's
gone Like nobody's there 9.30 10to midnight.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
You're good to go, yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Shit.
So after Frozen, we startedworking our way back.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
So we're like midday at this point, maybe a little
later, 2 o'clock Probably like2ish or something.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
So they had a couple of Jules Verne rides.
There was a Journey to theCenter of the Earth and 20,000.
Leagues Under the Sea.
So we got on the list for thoseVern rides.
There was a Journey to theCenter of the Earth and 20,000
Leagues Under the Sea.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
We got on the list for those 20,000 Leagues.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Oh, that's, we're into Little Pod, it's kind of
like the Nemo subs right, butless claustrophobic.
Speak for yourself I haven'ttaken you on the Nemo subs son,
oh the Nemo subs.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
I do not get on the Nemo yourself.
I haven't taken you on the Nemosubs, son.
Oh, the Nemo subs.
I do not get on the Nemo subsbecause that's shit.
I don't know if I can do it.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
As long as I can breathe, I'm fine.
You can put me in a closet, Idon't care, as long as I can
breathe, okay.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
We'll do the Nemo subs next time and you can see
how much better 20 000 leaguesunder the sea, okay, the nemo,
so it was cool um, these werevery airy.
Like all five of us fit inthere.
It was perfectly fine, right,like we weren't rubbing elbows
or anything.
There was enough room for allof us.
So you're going under.
Um, whatever happens, we startscreaming.

(48:06):
Little one loses her.
Shit.
Dude, she's for real thinkswe're gonna die.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
And this is the 20 000 leagues under the sea.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Yeah, all right there's like there's like sea
monsters and there's always abigger fish, and then there's
like electric monsters and therewere like these fucking alien
dudes.
She lost her shit because wewere playing along with it and
screaming.
She lost her shit, dude.
And then Journey to the Centerof the Earth was cool.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
That was a long wait, so that was a long wait.
We killed time over at thatLittle Mermaid area.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
Yeah, so then we went over to the Little Mermaid area
.
I think they have the JumpingJellyfish, like they have at DCA
.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
There's like three different rides in there, like a
little playground area.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
It was a really cool area.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
Two or three shops.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
This was indoors, though it was dark.
You couldn't really see much,so you would have been okay.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
I want to ride with you.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Nope, I want to ride by myself.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
You little.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
I'm almost certain we spent like an hour, hour and a
half there.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
For sure.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
We were there for a while and nobody was bored.
We all had stuff to do.
It was great, cool.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
So then we went on Journey to the Center of the
Earth Shit.
That might have been the lastthing we did there too, I think
you're right Just because of theway that the day went, mm-hmm,
but it was cool.
It wasn't as rollercoaster-y asI wanted.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
There was one part where it was real fast, but the
rest of it was kind of IndianaJones-ish you know what Part of
the reason to leave in early toois because remember you guys
were going to go back toDisneyland, is because remember
you guys were going to go backto Disneyland for the store
shopping, so we wanted to leaveearly.
Let me treat the store.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
There was no way we were getting to the other side
of the park to do like Tower ofTerror or Soarin' or any of that
stuff.
So we're like, well, fuck it,let's just do our shopping.
Wife wanted to check anotherPandora store.
It was like a downtown Disneykind of area.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Disney Springs, downtown Disney.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah , but it was backed by
Disneyland, not.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Tokyo yes.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
So you had to take the bus backwards to that area?
Yeah, because they're like 20minutes apart.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
Yeah, and the hotel was closer to Disneyland.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
No.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
C was the first stop.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Because C is the first stop, yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
Yeah, so yeah is the first stop.
Yeah, yeah, um, so, yeah.
So lou went off to, I went back.
Yeah, I went back to hisshopping, back to the hotel.
We took the bus, we went overto again this little mall.
We went to pandora.
Um, again, they just don't behaving disney stuff unless
you're in the parks or something.
They just don't, even thoughyou're like park property.
They're like.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
He's back, um, yeah, you froze for a second there
frozen let it go so then we wentto another disney store.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
They had another disney store there.
I'm not sure if they boughtanything, though, um, but yeah,
so we went back.
Um, and that's when I startedtexting lou about how the fuck
we get into the airport tomorrow, right, because?

Speaker 1 (51:11):
in the morning when I looked it's good to pre-plan
that stuff the night before.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Yeah exactly Because I looked in the morning and
there were.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
We had a plan the shuttle buses right.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
But then when I looked at night they were like
all sold out.
It wasn't popping up for meanymore.
So he asked the girls at thedesk when he got back.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
And they're like, oh yeah, it's right outside, like
dude.
We were freaking out about thisfor a little bit, like for
about an hour, not even kidding.
I just walked down there likehey, by any chance, like we need
to get to the airport tomorrow,and then she asked which one
and?
And she prompted and presumedhaneda.
And I was like yeah, and shepulls out this little quarter
sheet of paper and says, ohright, here it's like seven
bucks a person or something likethat Just give the driver the

(51:52):
money.
Two luggages per person.
Yeah, it's out here.
It was like, oh well, that'seasy.
It literally was the nextmorning she walked us to the bus
stop.
They do that shit in Japanthough they will walk you all
the way out.
It's pretty wild.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
The that shit.
In japan, though, they willwalk you all the way out like
it's pretty wild.
The service was phenomenal atthat hotel, so yeah.
So the next morning we got up,we did the buffet again, um,
grabbed our shit.
She walked us out to the bus wewaited, showed up right on time
, as they always do they do injapan.
They loaded our suitcases.
They wouldn't take my tip.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
We got to the airport well unloaded the suitcase you
just need to zip up your pants.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
This is true just the tip head to the airport they
unloaded still wouldn't take atip.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Then we I like how Jack has spent we were looking
for lockers two weeks in Japanand at the very end he starts
trying to tip motherfuckersRight.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
Well, you just start feeling bad about it, right?
You're just like.
This isn't normal, it goesagainst your nature.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
No, it goes against your American nature, american
nature, this is true.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
So we get to the airport around just after 11 or
so or around 11, and theirflight wasn't till six and we
all knew that our plan was to goroam around.
I was going to do some lastminute shopping errands.
They were going to do some lastminute shopping areas in
different locations.
Um, uh, yeah, yeah.
Then you guys went back todisney, you guys went to shibuya
yeah, we went to shibuya to goto that pandora okay, um.

(53:25):
so we were looking for thelockers, uh, and there we
couldn't find them, or they'reall taken.
So we went to one of thoseluggage storage slash transport
places.
The first one we went to waspacked.
We can't hold your nine bags.
Whatever the hell we had, itwas nine.
We can't hold your nine bags,but you can either go downstairs
or right next door to usthere's one over here.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
It was a FedEx store, dude, it was a shipping store.
It wasn't even a luggage store,bros man.
Their main job was shippingstuff, right, yeah, but they
also hold luggage, so we go upthere and lose like 20 bucks.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
Okay, dude, it was, it was.
It was like god it was.
What did she say?
It was the total bill was 4545.
So it was like $5 a piece.
So it was $45 for all nine ofour luggage and it was like done
so that's a bargain.
So we did.
We filled out the paperwork.
They took all nine of our bags,and then we went down to the

(54:23):
train station.
All the trains ran out oftheirs.
Yeah, so we did our thing.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
We went back to Shibuya.
We did the disney store, we didpandora again.
Uh, we went into the actualstarbucks that we meant to go in
before where you can look down.
We actually did get up to go upthere look down, because we got
food and drinks for thecrossing.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Was it better from up there it was okay, all right
good uh, they do have signs.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
They're like don't come up here, if you didn't buy
nothing.
You scratch my back.
I scratch yours.
It was a weird translation,like that you do me, I do you.
It was weird, but yeah, if youdidn't buy anything, they were
like nope, don't come up here.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
And then for me, right before we split off from
the trains, I ran into thisBritish couple and had to teach
them how to use the train system, because I'm a pro at this
point.
Uh, you know, it's like these,these freaking idiot tourists
like don't know what they'redoing.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
It's crazy and it's true because we jumped on our
train and lou was out there.
He's like so you need to dothis, this and this to get on
this train right.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Yep, I was just chatting with them like hey y',
hey y'all just look at the timeAll of it down.
I think that got them good.
While they were doing that, Ijust bounced around to a few
different areas, four differentstores, looking for Japanese
magic, the gathering cards forsome of my friends out here in
Colorado.
I was like, if they got it,great, I have nothing really I

(55:47):
want to do at this point.
I did everything I wanted.
I got all the souvenirs Iwanted.
Only thing I kind of forgot waslike Japanese candy, but I got
that later.
So I was like okay, and then Ithink I got back to the yeah,
you beat us back yeah because Iwent.
I wanted to find myself a food.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
The ramen.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
I went to go eat ramen.
Yeah, then you guys showed upand you're like his, because
you're like, oh, we're back overhere.
I'm like, oh well, I'm almostdone eating, I'll meet you over
here, whatever.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
And you're like, oh well, if that's the case, we're
gonna go kill time at the thegotcha gotcha pond up top so
yeah, yeah I used almost therest of my cash, just cashed it
out into to coins and then, umyeah, you found the Star Wars
Gotcha Gotcha, so I was able tofinish my Star Wars.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Let me see if they're in here.
And he got me an extra Vader,so that worked out.
Yeah, Ooh fancy.
And then once he finished up itwas about the same time I was
finishing up because they wentto go get in line, go get our
luggage oh, that one's cool.
They went to go get in line andgo get our luggage oh that
one's cool.
They went to go get in line toget our luggage and I met them
while they were in line, so thetiming worked out well Grabbed

(56:56):
our luggage, went and checked in, did all that.
All of our bags wereunderweight because Jack had a
scale, so we already knew.
We were very into it and veryprepared.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
I don't have his saber on right now.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Okay, I was like what does that?

Speaker 4 (57:12):
look like.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
It's cool.
It's like a flashy, like a wave, saber Cool yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
So I guess, I didn't realize this until after I got
back, but I guess there is achain of card stores throughout
Japan and it's called like Mintor something similar that had.
The video I was watching wasthey were going around looking
for, uh, star wars likeautographs, star wars patch
cards, that type of thing.
Um, and I think they had abunch they had one of the cards

(57:41):
was, uh, one of the sets ofcards was at celebration, where
it was like a box.
I think we talked about it.
It was like 10 that top, that'sfor the tops, one one, no, not
the Tops, it was something else,but it was similar.
But I think I remember Ithought we had had a
conversation about it where itwas like a box, it was like 100
bucks or 120 bucks and it waslike 10 packs with, you know, 10

(58:02):
cards in each pack or something.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Well, that was the Tops one.
The Tops one.
Oh, there we go.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Nice, His lightsaber's a little limp
though.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
I mean they were in capsules, bro.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah, everything, but I guess there was a chain of
stores that it's all cards, soit's like Yu-Gi-Oh Magic, star
Wars, sports, all this kind ofstuff, but it's all Japanese.
So they were going to theseplaces looking up those tops
cards, because the tops cards Iguess had been in japan or in

(58:33):
circulation.
There was like a genericversion of it and then there was
an exclusive japanese versionof it and the video I was
watching was kind of cool.
They were opening up the packsand they got a 101 of sebulba
and in the lobby that they werein, the guy who did the voice of
sebulba happened to be likeright there.
So he like they called him overand like had like a pretty cool
interaction with him as far ashe signed it and all that kind

(58:56):
of stuff.
That's cool.
But I guess there's a series ofstores because they were going
into when they were travelingaround, they were going to these
different stores and they werejust little, you know, in a
building, they were just a mallstore type of thing.
But that would have been coolto go check that out, but not
the point.
So then you guys went and goton an airplane.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
Yeah, so we went to the 7-Eleven.
We're like shit.
Well, let's try to use the restof our Suica cards right.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Use up the rest of our Suicas.
Yeah, so we bought a shit tonof snacks there, the Vinium
machines.
Some Kit Kat flavors that Ididn't see at.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
Donkey.
Yeah, we got some extra Kit Katflavors.
They didn't have at Donkey, butafter that on our flight it
seems short as hell.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Dude, it took forever to get to Japan, but the way
home was fast as heck dude and Idon't even mean because of the
delay that we had.
The actual flight time in theair seemed way shorter than it
did go.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Did you get to flew through San Francisco again?
No, we went straight to LAXStraight to.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
LA.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Did customs there, piece of cake.
They didn't even ask what Ibought or cost.
Everybody's talking about it inthe Facebook group.
They're all like, oh, under$800, you're fine, all this
other shit Nope.
All they asked me was where areyou coming from Japan?
Why were you there?
Star Wars Celebration oh cool.
Yeah, I think my wife and I aregoing to go see the 20th

(01:00:21):
anniversary later on this week.
I'm like oh, right on, oh,welcome back.
Have a good day.

Speaker 4 (01:00:30):
They didn't ask me anything about what I bought.
Nope, I took my little one.
So you know, little kid, thirddoor, we'll just go about your
business.
We did get stopped at like asecondary one, though.
They're like hold on what's inyour little shopping bag there,
put everything on the fuckingconveyor belt, let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
They took something, didn't they?
I thought they took somethingfrom that.
No.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
I asked her afterwards.
She thought they took her bodyspray.

Speaker 3 (01:00:53):
Yeah it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
No, they didn't.
Oh, okay, All right, it wasn't.
Until we went through actualTSA they were like all liquids
gone.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
I'm like we lost all of our pokey sweat and all that
shit that we brought back.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
I had gotten Japan.
Well, I thought it was Japanexclusive Monster.
So I chugged that bitch rightthere in line.
Both of y'all did, didn't you?

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
So you were super wired between LAX and Vegas.

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
We all still took a nap, we had a three-hour layover
.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
So you had plenty of time to take all the liquids and
put them in your checked bags.

Speaker 4 (01:01:34):
Pretty much right, but they didn't give us our
checked bags.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
When I did customs I had to get my bag.
That was weird.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
No, they did give us our bags, yeah we had our bag,
but it was the backpacks.

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
But we had turned back in already.

Speaker 3 (01:01:47):
I didn't think about the liquid.
Yeah, if I looked it up on.

Speaker 4 (01:01:53):
TSA, you should be okay.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
Yeah, because, according to what Jack saw, on
the website the TSA website saidif you had a sealed liquid
you're fine.
And I asked the lady at thatshe's like no, you have to get
rid of that.
So I was like, uh, and wedidn't want to get TSA banned,
so I didn't want to get tsabanned, so I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
I didn't cause a fit.
Yeah, it wasn't worth it, notfor one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yeah then we just kind of chilled there, you know,
killed some time, just waitedfor some, uh yeah, and then
jumped on to vegas and then thenyeah, uh, because my friend
danielle picked me up and then,uh, because part of it is we
just have space, yeah, we couldhave made it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
We could have made it we're not uncomfortable, no, so
, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
So I got thinking out her for a bit, so that was cool
, because I didn't see her in awhile.
Uh, we got six, eight, six,seven months, and then they went
back and then she dropped meback.

Speaker 4 (01:02:46):
We went to dinner and then, when she dropped me back
off at the house and yeah, andwe got up the next day Went to
go see Revenge of the Sithanniversary.
So now we're on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
How long did it take for you guys to?

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
And we went to Daiso and we went to Daiso before that
.
We had lunch.
We had lunch at the Brazilianplace, then Daiso, then the
movie.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
How long did it take for you guys to recover from the
the lag?
I would say probably a week,just because almost right back
into work and school and I wasgonna say about five days, yeah,
yeah it just there was no likenormal downtime, just to sleep
for a couple days.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Yeah, yeah, it was rough for sure, we got back what
saturday, so probably wednesdayor thursday yeah, in time for
my weekend to start again.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
yeah, once I got, once you got back, and Saturday,
so probably Wednesday orThursday In time for my weekend
to start again.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
Once you got back Then went to Disneyland, oh yeah
, but yeah, that was it Mondaymorning.
He gave me a ride back to theairport.
I tried to get on an earlierflight but they were all standby
.
I was like the 17th person inline on a wait list for standby,
but eventually got out there I.

(01:03:57):
I had my laptop, I had stuff todo so I was fine, um, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
and then, yeah, I remember waking up when you guys
went to disneyland on that day,because I was still kind of,
you know, and I was like lookedat my text messages and was like
35.
I was like no, mark is red.
I'm going to skip all these.
And then he's like hey, duke,you didn't answer this.

(01:04:18):
I'm like tell me again.

Speaker 3 (01:04:21):
There was a question.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
I don't remember there was something that was at
Galaxy's Edge that day, orsomething like that, that you
guys were having a conversationabout buying or not buying or
whatever the prince remember theones.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, the prince you got for us,
yeah those and the um and wewent, because may 4th was when
they had the uh, the 501sthelmet bucket, the jaw was on
time and well, the tauntaun hadbeen there, but it came after we
had gone.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
The last time the Death Star one.

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
That shit's funny it was about Jawasipper.
In the text message you weretalking about that guy that had
eight or nine Death Star bucketson his back walking out.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
Eight or nineteen.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
And then I watched a video where the guy walked
through Disney World and twoweeks later and there was still
every single popcorn booth hadthe giant rubber-made wheeled
containers full of the DeathStar buckets and I'm like that
guy lost his shorts?

Speaker 3 (01:05:24):
No, he did not, because that's where people can
get there.
But, you could buy it online.
I thought you could no.
That's why it's stillworthwhile.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
The 501st and the Jawa would probably be a better
investment, honestly, justbecause those are super limited.

Speaker 3 (01:05:47):
And smaller.
The Jawa is smaller than theship.

Speaker 4 (01:05:51):
But the Jawa is cool as heck.
He talks, he utinis.
I know that yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
He lights up.
I'll find out next week.
And did you end up getting the?
Did you end up getting the?
I can't even think of it rightnow.
The tube with the weird?
Oh yeah, you did, because youwere talking about that, because
you didn't get the straw.
Yes, yes, yeah, the coaxium.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
I'm like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Okay, Don't make it, not mint by licking it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
Yeah, the lithium crystal cup.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the lithium crystal.
Somebody's been watching StarTrek?

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
I love both.
So finally, after what has beenlike four, five, six episodes
of fucking Japan yeah, fuckingJapan, fucking Japan.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
No, it's only the fourth.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Fourth, well, and it got broken up because you know a
couple of us may have missed Iwish.
I told Lou when we were on hereI go.
I wish one of us could startthe podcast, because fuck that
guy.
Right For real.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
I wish you could too.
I don't have to look at that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Enjoy your curio cabinet, enjoy the empty curio
cabinet.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
You sweaty fucker.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
So real quick, no more than a minute, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:08):
Right, we're not going to talk too long, no more
than a minute, yeah sure yeah,lou lou, well, well will be a
minute, lou will be bbt, soit'll be 45.

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
It's fine there's a feature we're fine, exactly um
final thoughts on japan, likewas it everything you hoped for?
Did you do everything youwanted?

Speaker 3 (01:07:26):
go back no, you go for it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
I gotta think about it um, I mean, I think there
were, I think there were thingsthat were that were good and
were fun, and there's aspects ofit that I really liked, like
the cost of things, the varietyof food, the quality of food.
I feel like even you could gointo a little tiny dive bar in
the middle of a fucking alleywayin downtown Tokyo and the

(01:07:49):
quality of food is better thansome of the stuff that we get
here where it's a fancy fuckingrestaurant and you're paying a
quarter of the price.
I think the mass transit isenvious, like the fact that you
know, the fact that we can'teven get a fucking light rail to
run between LA and fuckingVegas, because it's because

(01:08:10):
there's so much bullshit andpolitics and all this stuff
wrapped around it, that the factthat you can go to like you
could go to a station, that themajority of your hotels and
stuff like that are within fiveto 10 minutes of a station, that
you can literally go anywherein Tokyo, japan, no less, japan,
right, right, yeah, you know.
Um, without, without too much,without too much difficulty,

(01:08:32):
right again, if you understandthe language and you hear the
announcements and stuff andunderstand it, it's going to be
better.
But even somebody like me whodoesn't fucking know any of the
language, I can find my wayaround right.
By the end of the time that Iwas there I wasn't a pro at the
mass transit, but I could figureit out Right, right.
The passive aggressiveness ofthe people to where they they

(01:08:53):
don't say no Got where.
There were a few times wherethat was kind of annoying
because I felt like you wasted alot of time with them being
like oh, you didn't make areservation, you know type of
thing, and you're like just sayno, we're not going to serve you
.
Cool, I'll go to the next place, but instead you have this like
back and forth of like a 10 or15 minute.
Let me go get my manager that'sgoing to tell you the same

(01:09:14):
thing you know that kind of wasa little bit um I again.
I mean we had this conversationa couple weeks ago.
I'm too big for most things, sothe size of things was pretty
awkward, like the bathrooms andstuff like that.
Some of the places were reallysmall and the door frames and

(01:09:34):
whatnot.
Even sitting on the subway wasthe.
You know I could tell, like,even if there was nobody near me
and I sat down, like I couldfeel the cushion like a quarter
of my ass, right Like the, wherethe little little, the little
bumps were right, um, yeah,because they're bucket seats,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you sit down and you're justkind of like, oh, you're like
naturally leaning because oneedge or the other.
You know so, but I mean,overall, I am really glad that I

(01:09:57):
did it.
I'm really glad I got toexperience it with you guys.
I think it was super cool.
Um, the variety of stuff, youknow, it was the, the way that
the way that the society behavesand acts is very different, and
so it was interesting to to seethe differences.
And, like I said, a big partfor me was like going to places

(01:10:17):
like hiroshima and stuff, where,um, you know, you're seeing the
perspective of not the us werethe best, were the, yeah, the,
the.
You know, the, the, the seeingthe perspective of somebody else
who was involved in, like, amajor world war and how they
view it and what they you know,lessons that they've learned and
stuff like that.
I thought was was super cool.

(01:10:37):
Um, uh, cause we do like tobeat our chest when it comes to
that kind of stuff and stuff andand so going somewhere else
where where it's more, uh, moreI don't know what the right word
is, but I guess more respectfulI don't think that's the right
word, but more like even-handed,I guess um was super cool.

(01:11:02):
Uh, the, the parks and the, whatthey take, how they take care
of them and the level of detailand uh, things like that.
The temple's super cool.
I love the idea that that you,when you build a temple, like
they can't knock it down, likesorry, like that, that temple is
down there forever.
Right to me, I, I don't know,that's kind of.
That's kind of stuff that'scool for me, because here they

(01:11:22):
don't give a shit.
We need to build a vaguelyinconsistent temple.
There we go, but here theywould just fucking plow it over
and it would be gone right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
I mean they got an Ikea in Shibuya.
We know we can get all thematerial to put it up, but I'm
really glad I did it.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
I don't know if I would go back, but I wouldn't be
opposed to it If somebody elsewas like, hey, I want to go to
Japan and I want to go do thesethings and and I want to go do
these things, and it wassomething that aligned with
things that maybe I didn't getto do.
My one biggest regret is Ididn't get to go to a baseball
game, but that regret is low onthe list.
Again, I had a list of thingsthat I wanted to do, but there
was nothing that I was like mytrip will suck if I didn't get

(01:11:58):
to do this because we got to doso much other stuff.
So there you go.
I give it four out of fivestars.

Speaker 3 (01:12:04):
All right, not bad, your one minute was five, but
hey, it works.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
It'll cut it down to one, because there were a lot of
ums.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Y'all are talking no, there weren't.
You were pretty solid, allright, all right, let's see.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
Look, I went for celebration.
I love celebration.
Right, it is one of the bestthings that we do.
You go to Celebration.
Everybody loves Star Wars.
All that hate bullshit that'sonline.
It does not exist atCelebration Generally.
There's a couple assholes hereand there, but they're just
being assholes, right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
And sometimes you travel with said assholes.
But see he wasn't going to.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
There's nobody hating on star wars, right.
There's nobody's like oh racesucks, ahsoka sucks.
Um, everything disney's put outhas been horrible.
Everybody's there because theylove star wars.
I just like being in thatenvironment so that we started
off with that.
Um, I loved it, right.
Um sure, we were on our feet 75hours a day.

(01:13:07):
It hurt, it was expensive, butI super enjoyed that.
Japan itself.
I honestly would love to goback.
My whole family enjoyed it.
We loved the vending machines.
We loved the toilets, thetrains, the toilets, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, the toilets.
That's why I had it.
We installed one last week.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
Whoa, I saw that photo on facebook and I was so
jelly I was so jelly, I was likeoh, it has a remote you put on
the wall, you can adjust wherethe nozzle is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
So you're right in the sweet spot, bro hell yeah
you know, jack is sprinklingthat too, forward, reverse,
forward, reverse.
He's getting full coverage.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
I have the cleanest taint, yeah, um but I try to
poop.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
I try to poop before showers, now only before showers
, just so I can enjoy it.
He takes his nozzle off realquick.
Oh girl, what did you do withmy nozzle?
It's our nozzle.

Speaker 4 (01:14:14):
Why is it brown?
Is this corn?
Why is there corn in the shower?
We did so much though I mean,we saw Shibuya, we saw a lot of
stuff in Tokyo, hello Kitty Ueno, went to Hello Kitty, kitty
ueno but there's just so muchjust the, the kind of people we
are, the kind of people I'mraising my girls to be at least

(01:14:36):
the big one.
There's just so much museumsand culture and stuff that we
did not get to see, like I wouldlove to have gone hiroshima,
the poop museum, so much otherstuff.
So we are definitely going back.
Not even a question.
A week doesn't go by wheresomebody's like, oh, can we go
back?

(01:14:56):
Actually, when we came back, myoldest had a sore throat and
she wanted to get some coughdrops before school.
So I'm going down the streetand I pull into this parking lot
.
There's a Walgreens, littleCaesars, dairy Queen and the
7-Eleven.
She's like I don't think7-Eleven has cough drops here.
This isn't Japan anymore, I'mlike they do but we're not going

(01:15:19):
to 7-Eleven.
We're going to Walgreens.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
She's like where's the store with the?

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
green cross.
We need to go to the place withthe green cross because that's
the only place you can get coughdrops.
But no, we will definitely beback.
Will it be before we do Europe?
I don't know.
It's up to Wai.
She's really on a Disney Pariskick right now, so that might
happen before a Japan trip, butwe'll see.

(01:15:47):
I mean, it was a lot of fun.
The food was good, the peoplewere good and I never felt like
we were in danger.
Sometimes you go to cities oryou go traveling.
You're like dude, this issketchy as fuck.
We didn't understand thelanguage, but I didn't feel like
people were creepy or anything.
But yeah, we'll be back.
Creepy or anything, yeah, no,we'll be back Sooner, rather

(01:16:09):
than later.

Speaker 3 (01:16:10):
Probably Creepiest folks are probably us or the
other foreigners, oh for sure wewere the creepiest people there
yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:16):
By far.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Yeah, all right, lou, we got 13 minutes before we hit
the hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
It'll be short Because it's so easy.
I didn't really have anythingnegative to say.
I planned on going to Japananyway before Celebration even
happened.
I lived there three years whenI was a kid.
I wanted to go back.
I was into anime for a longtime, all these things that I

(01:16:43):
knew.
I wanted to go back and seewhat things were going to be
like.
And then the schedule just kindof happened to work out that
World's Fair and Celebrationwere happening the same year and
World's Fair started a weekbefore Celebration and then I
couldn't make it to Londonbecause, if you remember, I
tried to get to London but Icouldn't get tickets and it was
like, all right, I'll just go tothe next one.
And it happened to be JapanBefore they announced it in

(01:17:04):
London.
The moment they said Japan, Isaid I'm in.
It was the same day, there wasno question.
I knew I was going.
Then I found out about world'sfair and it was like, okay, I'm
going to try to add this intothe mix.
And it did take me till lastminute to to lock it down, like
last minute being like a monthbefore.
But a month before I said youknow what eff it, I'm just going

(01:17:24):
to go, which is how I got thenight bus and just made it
happen.
So I knew I was going.
Celebration was great, osakawas great, everything was great,
so I don't need to duplicatewhat you guys already said.
All that was fantastic.
But one of the questions youbrought up early on we started
this segment was something youmissed or wish you didn't do.

(01:17:46):
There's a lot like we werebasic.
I was at osaka for a half day,realistically, and you know,
from like eight in the morningto six at night, um, so there
wasn't a whole lot down south,southwest that was done, uh, or
upper north.
I mean, there's only so muchyou can do in in 10, 11 days.
Right, didn Didn't go toHokkaido and Sapporo and stuff

(01:18:07):
like that.
Um, so is there another tripcoming?
Absolutely, the only questionis is it before or after?
You know 2028?
And the answer is before,because 2028 is the latest I'm
going, because celebration is2027.
So that'll be my big trip,spend all my money, and it's way
more expensive in LA than itwas in Japan, and I know that.

(01:18:28):
So I don't want to do bothtrips.
So then the question is well,can I go in 26 next year, lee,
if the timing works out, where Ican go in the fall next year, I
will go in the fall next year.
That's how much I enjoyed it.
I do not want to wait to 2028.
I will wait three years,obviously, if I have to, but if

(01:18:48):
I can actually make it next year, I probably will.
And this time for me, when Iwas there for y'all that don't
remember I was in Okinawa.
It's an island south ofmainland Japan.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
That's where Karate Kid's from.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Exactly where Mr Miyagi's from.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
And there's a new Karate Kid movie coming out.

Speaker 3 (01:19:09):
And it'll probably be on.
Probably the sequel might evenbe out by then, so it could be
really on point.
But I would start there.
I would start in Okinawa, sincethat's where I lived the first
time.
I was going to try to get therethis trip, but I would have
basically lost either Ueno orShibuya.
I would have lost one of thosedays to do it, or I would have
lost a disney day to do it, andI didn't want to do that.
So I was like you know what,I'll come back again, no big

(01:19:31):
deal.
So it'll be okinawa, two daysthere to be a tourist.
Then I'll hang down south andhit the uh, osaka's and kyoto's
and hiroshima and all that.
Yeah, I'm basically down there.
What is it?
The deer, the Nara Park, yep,nara.
So all that stuff will bestraight tourists, because it

(01:19:52):
really was a lot of focus.
For me, celebration is what madethings happen, and Tokyo,
disney, and there was only likethree days to be a tourist.
This trip is basically nexttrip and it's basically all be a
tourist.
That's all they want to do.
It's basically next trip, isbasically all be a tourist.
That's all they want to do.
And then what I'll probably endup doing is do all the
Southwest stuff, end up in Tokyoand end up with two more days

(01:20:14):
in Tokyo and then leave fromthere.
And then the next trip becausethere is going to be a third
trip is going to be upperNortheast and that'll be
Hokkaido and stuff like that,and again it'll be the cultural
stuff.
Stay at the hotels that arelike the houses with the sliding
doors and take your shoes off.
I'm probably going to do allthat cultural stuff, but I'm in

(01:20:35):
Kyoto, the Ninja Museum and allthe ninja history.
The next visit will absolutelybe more of a cultural visit than
it will be anything else.

Speaker 1 (01:20:42):
So I absolutely love it.
And the other half of DisneySea.
The next two trips will be onethird DisneySea, and then the
last one will finally be thewhole.
You'll close that circle.

Speaker 3 (01:20:56):
Dude, you're not even kidding.
That's what will have to happenjust to get it all in.
But yeah, absolute best.
Obviously, the price is a verything.
Going to the convenience stores, the convenies, every day,
basically every, I'm almostcertain, if I didn't go every
day, I averaged going every daya couple days.

(01:21:18):
I went twice.
So it was fantastic, absolutelyloved it, and I I can honestly
say we've been back four weeksand a day and I'm still there.
My head is still there.
I told a joke to these two guyslast week and it was if I
decide to switch jobs, I'm goingto wait until I have enough

(01:21:38):
money and it won't take thatmuch like three extra thousand
dollars.
I can do it right now if I wantto, three extra thousand
dollars, and I'm going to takeweeks off and go to japan for
four weeks and then come back.
That's how much I enjoyed it.
So, yeah, there you go.
I only used up.
Yeah, we still got sevenminutes, yeah, seven and a half

(01:21:59):
minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Good job blue I didn't even talk about
celebration dude.

Speaker 3 (01:22:04):
Well, wait, hold on hold on, duke.
Seriously though you, you, youdidn't like it enough that it's
automatically on your list to goback, you're like you have to
go with something you know Ikind of feel the same way, like
I kind of feel like I might befine by myself.
That's how much I know.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
And again, if, if we, if we have the conversation and
we all go, okay, like this iswhat we all want to do, yeah,
I'm totally down, but I'mprobably not going to be the one
to initiate that.
When I was in my, when I wasdoing my layover in Honolulu, I
kind of felt the same way aswhen I was coming back from
Belize.
Belize was great, like Belizewas super cool, like I would
totally love to go hang outthere again and do all the stuff

(01:22:40):
.
But when I'm in, when I was inHonolulu, I was like, fuck, I
could have just come to Hawaiiand you know, like I would
already be here, like I wouldhave two days either way, like
so to me, I guess I'm, I guess Iwasn't blown away enough to
like be like, yes, I have tocome back here.
There's definitely other placesthat I think I would want to

(01:23:01):
visit before going back to Japan, like Europe and that type of
thing of thing.
Like like there's other placeswhere if, like jack were to go,
hey, we're gonna go and do italyand poland and we're gonna take
the euro, pat, we're gonna geteuro passes and we're just gonna
travel through as manycountries as we can make it in
two weeks.
Cool, totally down, let'sfucking do it, you know, but I

(01:23:23):
probably wouldn't initiate atrip back to Japan myself.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
So let me ask you this Go ahead, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
You want to tea over not quality, that doesn't.
That makes it sound bad.
But you want to see everythingbefore repeating.

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
I mean yeah, I mean, if I had to choose between going
to Europe and going to Japan, Iprobably would choose going to
europe first, um, just for thedifferent experiences, right,
like I've already experiencedjapan.
So if I go back, like we wouldhave to do something like like
lou was saying, if, if lou waslike, hey, I'm gonna schedule a
cultural shit and this, we're.
We're doing fucking two and ahalf weeks, three weeks, of just

(01:24:01):
cultural stuff.
We're hitting all the temples.
We're going to the, the ninjaplace where ninjas were born.
We're going to this, we'redoing that.
We're going to the originaltemple, you know.
We're going to the the emperors, blah, blah, blah, you know all
of that kind of stuff.
We're going to spend two daysjust going through museums.
Lou will make it through twomuseums.
We'll make it through 10museums.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
Um, but if I had, I don't know, jack's older, she's
reading everything, that's true.
Okay, the two of them will betogether.
Again the buddy system.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
You guys will just stay and read everything.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
We'll catch up with you in the next season.

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
You know, I would be totally down with that Because
that would be different thanwhat this trip was, which was
very touristy, very big cities,very like.
So, you know, and I went intoJapan not knowing what I wanted
to do, like I didn't know what Ididn't know right.
So I was trying to keep myselfvery flexible on what we did and
I was glad that I did that,because it allowed us to go and

(01:24:59):
do things and have experiencesthat I think if we would have
had, if we would have been likeat a tour group, we wouldn't
have been able to do right,because either the time would
have been too short or we wouldhave made a left instead of a
right, that type of thing.
Um, there were some bars andsome restaurants and stuff like
that that we found while ontraveling that we would have
never found in a million yearsif we would have had an

(01:25:21):
itinerary right, because, again,some of these places you're
just wandering around and youturn a corner and you see a sign
and you go, that sign lookscool, let's go check this place
out.
Right, you can't get that whenyou have like an itinerary of
we're doing this and this and wehave to be here at this time
and we're eating lunch at thistime or eating dinner at this
time.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
So let's be real, that's not our style anyway,
right?
We come up with something likethat, a basic idea, and then we
might do the first one or two,and then we kind of just let
whatever happens.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
So that's why I mean again, this is the biggest trip
that the three of us have done,kind of together, right Like uh,
by far and so.
So you know the fact that wewere able to make it work and
the fact that we were all ableto do everything that we wanted
to do and for the most part wegot to do it together.
You know, I had my other groupof friends that were along as
well and I'm glad that I got toexperience all the stuff that I
did with them.

(01:26:10):
You know was all to me it waslike that, checked all my boxes,
right, like there's stuff thatI want to do in Japan, but I'm
glad that I got like if I don'tend up going back to Japan, I
would be satisfied with what Idid.
I guess that's probably thebest way to put it.
The fact that I got toexperience international
celebration with you guys, boxchecked.

(01:26:31):
If we never do that again, ifwe never go to Germany or London
or wherever the fuck, they haveit again.
Cool, we got to do that onceand that, to me, means a lot.
The fact that we got to spendthat.
Lou and I figured out that wecould share a hotel room for
almost a week together and notkill each other.
Boom Check, yeah, you know like.

Speaker 3 (01:26:50):
You know what's funny ?
There was actually zero issuewith that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:53):
You know what I mean?
Not one thing came up.
Not one thing came up like ohman, that's because you guys
were drinking every night,that's fair, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
We did.
You know what we?

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
found the, the, the the reality is that we also, you
know what?

Speaker 1 (01:27:10):
The reality is we found a common ground after all
these years.
Lou and I finally found acommon ground which were lime,
which were lime sours sourswhatever beer of the night
chicken nuggets chicken nuggetsand beer solves everything, yeah
exactly.
I'm going to print Lou and Ishirts and say that Chicken

(01:27:33):
nuggets and lime sours solveeverything.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
The question I was going to ask before Jack asked
his was I wonder do you thinkyour experience?
You already kind of answeredthe question, but it was
different because you were therea little bit a week before us
and got to do some of the othertouristy stuff already.
Like me, I wanted to go to more, like the whole, what did you
not do?

(01:27:58):
I was like, well, I did a bunchof stuff, but I want to do more
Izekiahs.
That would have been on my listto do more of, but I'm not
worried.
Like that wasn't like oh darn,Cause I know I'm going back, so
I don't care.
It's like, okay, I didn't dothat, Okay, oh, I didn't do this
, Don't care, I don't have that.
Oh man, I wish I would have,Cause I know I'm going back.
And then to Jack's point withthe uh, or both of you guys, I

(01:28:20):
guess uh, go to Europe orwherever.
Uh, before Japan, because we'vealready done Japan.
I don't have that in my head atall.
First of all, Europe as a wholeis really not huge on my list.
England, UK, is huge on my list.
I'm a soccer fan and I want togo like if I went to Europe like
a two-week football.

(01:28:42):
Yeah, but I don't know what ourfans are, so I have to make sure
, If I say football, they'regoing to be like they don't play
football in Europe.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:28:49):
So I was like I gotta be careful.
Half our viewers are from LasVegas, so you know yeah.
So we make sure we keep it realbut?

Speaker 3 (01:28:57):
but I would want to like get there in time to go to
a weekend group of soccermatches and then do whatever,
even if it's bounce aroundeurope, batch around the uk and
then, before I fly out, comeback for another soccer match.
I want to catch two, becausethat would be huge for me.
But other than that, but eventhen, I'd rather you can't, I
don't.
Well, obviously, being halfspanish, that would be on my

(01:29:19):
list.
I'm trying to go over likewhere my family's from, from the
1400s and stuff in spain ornear the border of portugal.
I try to keep that on the list,but I don't give a rat's ass
about France, italy, the racistin Italy, anyway, they're
assholes in France.
So there's like these thingswere like.

Speaker 4 (01:29:34):
I don't care about that You've been to.
You got to knock off all thecastles, though.
You got to go to DisneylandParis, yup, I mean here's the
thing.

Speaker 1 (01:29:43):
Here's the thing Lou was in the day before, lou flies
out the day after.
It would be.
I'm not going to kid.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
I don't know what the public, how long it takes for
public trans there, but I wouldbe in the UK, england, something
like that, spain, whatever andthen I would.
I would go to Disney, I wouldmeet you at Disney and then I
would get the hell out of thereand go back to what.

Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
I was doing.

Speaker 3 (01:30:04):
I'm not even kidding.
That is what I would do theyhave cheese on my list.
They can have it.
And all their hairy underpintwomen and their stinky
everything using freakingcologne instead of actually
taking a damn bath they can haveall that.

Speaker 1 (01:30:18):
Wow, we've just now ostracized half of Europe.
Thanks, lou.

Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
Wait, didn't he just say that the Italians are racist
?
And then this motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
Yep, that the Italians are racist.
And then this motherfucker Yup.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
Lou is prejudice.
Lou is prejudice, not racist.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Lou is very prejudice .
He's not racist, he isprejudice.
Learn the difference.
Do you think you're going to bewelcome in most of those
European countries as anAmerican?
No, I have no interest in beinga part of that, especially as a
black dude.
You guys would be better Ablack dude in Italy, not your
friend.
I want to go to Greece.

(01:30:53):
I'm not going to be theirfriend.
That's just how it is there.
I get it.
It is what it is, but I stillwill go to Greece.
I will check out thearchitecture, I will leave.
I want to go to Italy to checkout the architecture.
Then I want to leave.
You know what I mean.
I can't be hanging out there,though I don't have the interest
, because I know how they arebased off of what other people
have told me.

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
Real quick, lou.
Is your interest purely inJapan or is it in Far East?
Would you do Hong Kong?
Would you do Shanghai?
Would you go to Vietnam orThailand or any of those?

Speaker 3 (01:31:19):
Or is it just purely?

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
Japan Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
Yeah, I have no interest.
Interest, uh, china, uh, formultiple reasons, but
architecture I would want to goto shanghai for to see it you
know there's a disneyland andeverything yeah, you see, there
you go.
I would be fine with that.
It wouldn't be top of my choice.
But, like down south, we startgoing to thailand, philippines.
I want no part of that at all,um you don't want the lady boys

(01:31:43):
no, but here's my problem.
My experience on the air forcebases were a lot of these
military things that is soappropriate it really is, but
duh on the military.
When I was working the grocerystore bagging groceries, and it
was just all the Filipino wivesand the Thailand wives and they

(01:32:04):
were all so rude and justterrible people.
Again, I don't know that all ofthem are going to be like that,
but that's been my experience.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
Maybe they've gotten better like the dentist Lou.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Maybe, Maybe I learned after 30 years the
dentist is fantastic.
I mean, I didn't really.
That was great.
Matter of fact, I'm going tomake regular appointments just
because I can.
Didn't we it's saw you, that'sokay.
I'm gonna come back again, hi.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
Real quick.
I thought we I got a water pickfor that.

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
That's fantastic.
I got a water pick.
Oh, I'm loving that thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:37):
I thought we had determined to.

Speaker 3 (01:32:38):
Oh, I should try it on my butt, oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:32:42):
One goes in your butt and one goes in your mouth.
Lou, Nope, nope it came withsix tips.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
It came with six tips .
I can just mix them around.

Speaker 1 (01:32:51):
I thought we had determined too in text chat that
they'll only love you half-timebecause of the tariffs.

Speaker 4 (01:32:56):
Probably, or they'll charge you extra.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Yeah, either way, I mean they won't find me, no
sorry they love you short-timenot long-time.
That's in China, for sure,those assholes whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
But yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
So I mean, I think, To answer your question, really
Japan and then Europe.
Like I said, for me it's goingto be Japan.
Before I go to any place else,I'm going to go back and,
quote-unquote, finish what Ididn't finish, and then I'll
throw in some other and, likeI'm almost for certain that when
I do Europe slash UK, it'sgoing to start it'll be a cruise

(01:33:35):
with port stops around the UKand then it'll be a hop around
Europe type of how about realquick, since we're talking about
world travel and stuff anyinterest for either of you guys
for South America at all?
No.

Speaker 1 (01:33:50):
Not for me.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
Too much crime too much AIDS.
Yeah, as I said, between crimeand disease.

Speaker 1 (01:33:57):
How much are you fucking, Jack, that you got to
worry about AIDS?

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
It's everywhere.
It's everywhere.
Jack's like I'm being a monkeyin every single South American
country, Don't they have?

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
the green monkeys down there that started all this
.
I'm being a monkey in everysingle South American country.
Don't they have the greenmonkeys down there?
That started all this?
I'm getting from the sourceBrazil this horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
You probably won't ever Catch me in the Middle East
or South America.
Australia would be on my list.
I still haven't done Mexicoproperly.
Haven't been to Canada ever.
So there's some like Canadamight get knocked off on like
some basic crap, like an Alaskacruise with a port in Vancouver.
Okay, yeah, I've done Canada.
You know it'll be somethinglike that, or I'll just wait

(01:34:36):
till their estate and then gothere.

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
Or we're a province.
Maybe we'll be the 11thprovince.
We'll see who wins.

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
I don't care.
Either way, get that freehealthcare.

Speaker 2 (01:34:44):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:34:50):
But yeah, I would say , I don't know.
I don't know if obscure is theright place, but if there's some
not usually visited in my headI think it's not usually visited
I'd want to go to, it'd beIceland.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
My only interest in South America would be just the
history, like the culture, likewe were talking about with Japan
, like going to those places,like some.

Speaker 3 (01:35:09):
Aztec shit.
What's the first one thatstands out Like the Inca temples
?

Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Like going and doing the historical type stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:35:17):
I gotta agree that wouldn't be terrible.
I would have to avoid the majorcities in South America because
I've heard nothing but badthings.

Speaker 2 (01:35:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:35:27):
That's probably one that I Go on the Jungle Cruise.
Same difference See thebackside of water.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
The water backside.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
I'll just put the English to Brazilian translation
and I'll pretend I'm hearing itin Portuguese.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
But yeah, well, there you go.
I think we all really enjoyedjapan again.
Uh, mine was more about theexperience.
Glad I got to spend it with youguys.
That was super cool.
Um, you know, I will admityou're right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
I didn't think we'd all ever do something like that.
No god, it would never cross mymind.

Speaker 4 (01:36:02):
When we first became friends, I never thought like,
yes, I'm gonna foreign travelwith these fuckers.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Well, and it's yeah I mean, the logistics of it just
is so challenging.
So for it to have worked outand for us, while we didn't get
to spend the whole time together, like we got to spend a
significant portion of each ofour trips together, I feel like
you know it, it really workedout like.
So I'm happy that we did it.
I'm glad that we got to do thattogether, so Agreed.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
Agreed and um yeah, so we'll wrap this up.
We'll be back to our normalantics next week.

Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Um, we got a lot of media to cover All the fucking
media.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Andor and Thunderbolts and uh.

Speaker 1 (01:36:38):
Andor's last of us.
Mission impossible, missionimpossible.
You're on your own, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (01:36:46):
That's how I started.
Wait, season 1 or 2?

Speaker 4 (01:36:51):
I watched the first season I was on Graves then the
last season.

The season finale Was yesterday or tonight, so you
can binge it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:05):
If you want to.
I know how the second game wentand I have no interest in
watching the second season.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
It's Pedro.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
He's so handsome.

Speaker 1 (01:37:13):
They have the stuff that I Wait.

Speaker 3 (01:37:16):
Do you know the story ?

Speaker 1 (01:37:17):
Yeah, but the story that I've?
Wait, Jack don't know the story.
Oh, Jack don't know the story.
Okay, never mind.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Because he's like Pedro, is so handsome, so I'm
like uh, he's not handsome forthe whole season, cause, but
they.

Speaker 1 (01:37:31):
Yeah, lou, for for my two cents.
They and the stuff that I'veread online and the videos I
watched, uh, the I I neverplayed the games.
I wasn't about to drop $60 on ashitty PC port five years after
the game came out Um, but thestuff, they handle the stuff,
the those types of things waybetter than I think the game

(01:37:52):
does.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
The stuff that I get the hell out of here.
I saw a clip.
