Chris & Pete please have an intelligent conversation on "Small Buiseness Ownership" in Japan vs. such in Britain, Australia, Canada, & The United States !
Mitten strings for Pete?
Knowing the triptych and pronouncing it properly? I'm honestly impressed
😂
I know this is an unusual request but could you cool it with the upload pace please? I don't have a lot of time for keeping up with this sort of thing, one podcast per week is plenty.
I love it when the boys do an American accent
8:22 Chris Peppler !???
There are waterproof makeups for the body that actors use when they are supposed to do scenes where their characters don't have tattoos! I hear that they are absolutely amazing in coverage.
Japanese TV actually is more fun and entertaining than British TV where it's full of cynicism, racism and people arguing with each other all the time.
There's a reason most twitch streamers and youtubers react to Japanese TV and not the British one lol.
Crappy Japanese TV will always be "I have a bad case of diarrhea" to me… I do miss watching old school taiga dramas, though! I rewatched "Dokuganryuu Masamune" recently (with Chris' homie Watanabe Ken) and it was SO epic! Also "San-pun Kukkingu" — my mom used to laugh at how terrible some of the dishes were. I remember some of the commercials from the 80s and 90s had really good music that legit slapped.
NHK 😄😉 I have to have a closer look for "Cool Japan" there. 😂
Must admit getting to really like the podcast keep up the good work
Chris, how big do you project the podcast channel becoming on youtube?
There needs to be a new rule in podcasting.
Playwright Anton Checkov said if a gun was on a table in the first act, it needs to have been used by the end of the play.
Podcasting rule: If Pete talks about his silicon jelly legs repeatedly before he goes to Japan, he needs to invent a story about how he rubbed them together and the static caused a conflagration that wiped out 16 onsens, rather than: "Oh, I just didn't like them."
It's like opening a Christmas present and finding a £2 Amazon voucher from your nan.
nice
please stop switching the camera angle every fuckin second , it is very annoying
Yamato shipping also has the most adorable black mama cat mascot, and I still remember the TV commercials from when I was a kid "Kuroneko Yamato no!" — IIRC they had kiosks around Japan that dispensed free cat-themed swag!
Generally the reason why you keep hearing that voice is because I believe it's Chris Peppler! Peppler is the guy who presented Tokyo Eye, and yeah, he does a lot of voice over work for NHK on other programs too. I do believe PremierTwo Pete has been on Cool Japan before, so this might have been a re-run. Chris's trainer Nick was also on NHK too, he used to present a cultural trends program called Imagine-Nation with Chiaki Horan. Sadly NHK axed the program in 2020, and there's not been anything like it since. NHK seems to have something of a lack of appreciation for programs made for international audiences, even though that's the point of the NHK World channel 🤔
Still pissed about the fax machine
I had Shibuya Sky tickets too, but it was raining and the roof was closed.
Junior/High School Truancy & a cool robot to get them to come back to School. Well that's certainly better than here in the U.S. where Truancy Officer's CUFF KID'S hands behind their backs, stuffem in a Paddy Wagon, & Perp Walk them back to class.
I just want them to bring back the New Years no laughing batsus. I know the guys are getting old and it's a tiny stale, but it's still so damn funny.
I'm a Downtown fan though, so I'm biased.
I don't think the schools skipped the ring the parents step and went straight to make a robot to get kids to come to school lol.
Yes
I love how you've done crazy adventures all over Japan and challenged yourself in extreme ways and you'll get plopped on another form of media as being the British guy who just loves the taste of pickles. Ah, what a man of culture and determination xD
Dear Chris Creme and Pete Dementhe. I am a solo Ramones Tribute that just visited Japan from September 13th to the 27th. The first bar I visited was the Rock Inn Dice in Shinjuku because I was playing there later on in my visit. I sit down at the bar, order a whisky coke and a guy sits down next to me. What does he order? Creme De Menthe. I had a blast doing my show at several bars around Japan and even busked in Shinjuku. If you are a musician, I would highly recommend visiting Japan and trying to get some gigs. Most clubs have backline of amps and all the drums I have seen are in good condition with good cymbals. There is an open mic in each major city and all you have to do is sign up in advance. You can easily play all over Japan and not just in one city. I played in Fukui and even went down to Matsuyama. I mostly stayed in capsule hotels and there was always a guy snoring in the next capsule over. I had Lawson's chicken and steamed buns and I would say they are equally delicious but steamed buns work for better for breakfast, so they are more versatile.
So carnivore is actually legit, it's just a lower carb version of keto. You actually get pretty much zero gas! Veggies and grains tend to give gas because your body doesn't absorb/use them up like it does with animal products. So you actually only need to do a poo a few times a week, because there's hardly anything to get out of your body since the body uses almost all of what you're eating. And no constipation either! Carnivore is super anti inflammatory, and has helped so many people cure things caused by inflammation. Check out Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg if you're curious! Always thought Chris would thrive so well on keto or carnivore, since he could literally eat as much yakitori, meat, cheese etc as he likes! You're also never hungry because the protein and fats satiate so well, and cholesterol, heart health, insulin etc actually improves 😊
would i be able to rent a room with a private onsen with my tats?
I think Pete just wanted to leave gifts all around Japan, but the Japanese people were just too polite and sent them back as lost property.
This is why he poured water on his privates.
