William Neff, Scarra, and Hassan Abi recount their Ritz Carlton Tokyo stay, exposing a guest's fake wealth and discussing JAV censorship laws where vaginal intercourse remains illegal. They contrast Western porn with Japanese content, warn against Adderall due to strict meth-like drug bans, and note how polite locals often fail to confront rude foreigners on trains. The group explores Tokyo's nightlife, observing that gay bars surpass straight venues while Japanese women in clubs aggressively pursue shy men, ultimately framing the city as a safe yet culturally complex fantasy land for Westerners.

Ritz Carlton Views00:08:16
All right.
Okay.
We're finger.
Use the average.
I'm not going to curse.
I'm not going to curse.
Wait, we can't curse?
No, no, no.
Not in the first 30 seconds.
Not in the first video, you're trying to get it.
Listen, we're sitting here.
We're sitting here on the top of Ritz Carlton Midtown.
Yep, that's right.
Tokyo Tower.
That's right.
You see success.
This is a view of success.
Yeah, this is a beautiful, decadent experience.
It looks like a movie scene.
It looks like we're lost in translation or something.
And Hassan, who do we owe this experience to?
We owe this experience to absolutely nobody.
Okay.
Scar, look at this.
We owe this experience to our subscribers on the Patreon.
That's true.
That's number one.
That's true.
Subscribe for more views.
But that's not what I want to talk about.
What do you want to talk about, Hassan?
While we were getting ready and, you know, getting, just talking to one another, getting friendly, this man right here sat on that chair.
Yeah, what do you do, Hassan?
And called the front desk.
And we're at a very fancy hotel that he's staying at.
And he spared no expense for us, right, Hassan?
Oh, yeah.
He spared no expense.
He said, would you guys like something to eat?
And, you know, Will was like, yeah, we would like something.
Sure.
Please order something.
And I overheard this conversation while everyone was talking to one another.
And I could not believe my ears.
What did your ears hear, Hassan?
This man, Austin Show was talking to the hotel lobby person, the receptionist.
At the Ritz Carlton.
At the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
From the 45th floor.
From the 45th floor.
Executive suite.
49th floor.
In the penthouse suite that we're in, telling the person in the lobby, do you have tap water, but put it in bottles?
Like he wanted to maintain the appearance of being fancy on a budget.
Not even out of earshot.
And the receptionist, probably shocked, said no.
So he went, do you have a pitcher for the tap water?
I overheard him.
I said, Austin, why tap water?
Just order, like we're, you know, just get bottles of water.
The best part of it is he looked us dead in the eyes and he said, the tap water is better.
It is.
Yes, drinkable.
It is.
It's very drinkable.
And look, this is what I want to teach people.
Oh, it's a lesson.
It's a lesson.
No matter how much success you may have, even sitting at the top of the world, quite literally, at the Ritz Carlton of Tokyo, you never get too big to score a bar.
Austin, we're looking down at a helipad.
Okay.
There's a helipad down there.
Look, I think there are people on this podcast that would agree with me that you could appreciate a bargain.
And I, look, not only did I get water, but I got a few nuts and a couple of cheese plates, and they're going to be delivered on the podcast.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the stage is set.
Replace Tokyo.
Yes.
And Tokyo, baby.
The cast, we have a few of our regulars.
We have an Austin Show.
We have Hasanabe and myself, William Neff.
And Hassan, who else do we have today?
We have some amazing faces.
Amazing.
That's right.
We have two wonderful guests here.
Yes.
One that we imported straight out of Los Angeles.
That's right.
Yeah.
I've been asking Scar to come on the podcast for some time.
The league goat, the genius of TFT, asking is a godfather asking is a strong word.
This is how it happens, okay?
He's like, Yo, would you like to be on the podcast?
And I say yes instantly, no hesitation.
I would love to be on the podcast because I love these guys, right?
Yep, sure.
And then he's like, Okay, what about this date?
I immediately say yes.
Then he's like, I'm sorry, we couldn't do this.
And then I don't hear back, wait, what?
Till Tokyo.
And I'm like, Yeah, I'll be on.
I had to, I had to nag you.
What is part of our process?
I'm chronically online.
So, what happens is if he messages me, I respond in 20 seconds.
We've been hurt before.
You were too eager.
You drove us away.
No, this is like all my relationships.
I talked to you.
I should have waited.
Gotta play games.
Look, we are so happy to have you here.
Yes, we are.
We are so happy to have you here.
Thank you so much for taking time.
And Hassan is terrible, and I apologize for him.
No, okay.
We also, hold on, before we get into how terrible I am, we have another wonderful guest.
I believe that this is a perfect juxtaposition.
Yes.
We have the wonderful Kaho, Kao Shibuya.
Yes.
She was, you guys already watched her do her thing on the stream yesterday.
I don't know when this podcast is coming out.
It was a week ago at this point.
She was incredible.
And I was like, Kaho, you know so much.
We were blown away, Kaho.
We were blown away by how kind you are, how thoughtful you are.
We were like, we got to have you on the podcast.
Yes.
And it's, I think, it's a perfect juxtaposition.
We got two former sex workers.
Yeah.
You know, Scara on the camera is a sex worker.
No shame.
Yeah.
My God.
I thought, you know, league is a gateway to it.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
I think it's really funny because he was like, would you mind being on a podcast with Kaho?
And I asked him, I was like, who, like, I wasn't, I didn't know.
I was like, who is Kaho?
Did you Google him?
And immediately he was like, oh, JAV actress.
And I'm like, I do know who that is.
Oh, you do.
You do.
No, no, no.
I have that scene.
Her fame precedes her.
Oh, okay.
You're just very famous.
Oh, thank you.
You are very worldwide, actually.
Yeah.
Oh, you might be the only one.
I do want to talk a lot about it.
I hope you don't mind, but I do want to talk a lot about the Japanese adult video scene.
If only someone had written a book about it or something.
I don't know.
If someone was so knowledgeable.
Yeah.
I have a book in Japanese and English.
Well, I actually had an interview with TV documentary people after the stream.
And I had so much fun.
I had so much fun with you guys.
Oh, my God.
It's going to be great.
And it was going to start from 7 p.m.
And that was also in hotel.
They wanted to have this, again, like Tokyo Ambience in it.
But it wasn't like this room, was it?
No, she said that tree was beyond.
They didn't have any tap water, did they?
They had mineral water, right?
Oh, yes, but they don't understand the minerals in tap water much better.
Right.
Yes.
Well, you know what?
I don't think that they knew me.
I think they were introduced to me from other people who they interviewed.
They really didn't do any homework.
Yeah, no.
And apparently they said, like, oh, our Japanese interpreter is going to be there.
And she wasn't like, it's not an issue that she wasn't.
So I guess like, as soon as I opened the door, they look kind of nervous.
And I was like, okay, they're not happy to see me.
And then what's the F. Where were they from?
Oh, that was a Pak Hayat Hotel.
Oh, where did the interview go?
Where were the interviewers from?
I mean, oh, they are originally from UK, London.
And they live in New York.
They live in New York.
They were doing a documentary about Jab stuff?
Japanese sex workers or six industries.
And they had no idea, and they didn't even know about the Japanese sex industry.
The first thing they asked me, they started the conversation with such a rude question.
Is your English good?
Because they, their interpreter could not come.
Isn't that remote to that guy?
That is a very rude question.
Do you ask that?
You don't have to ask them.
You give us the name of their hotel.
Boston will order Tapwater for their visit.
First of all, they messed up big weight in being British, number one.
Japanese Sex Industry00:13:57
That's very valid.
We have a standing beef with the yeah, we do.
I just don't like their food.
Oh, so good.
How can you say something so brave about it?
We don't like their people.
I know we're raised as a person.
No, I'm not that.
No, I love British people.
Their accent is great.
Their accent is great.
It's very sexy.
I disagree with everything you guys.
I'm like the common American where like almost every accent for me is great.
I'll hear like an Australian accent or like British accent or like Scottish accent.
I'm like, wow, that's so great.
And then, but like, I feel like it's very American.
Yeah.
Uncultured.
Look, you're a man of many talents and very cultured.
We're in Tokyo, which is Americans don't even get beyond our borders very often.
So we are, I think we're all more cultured than most of us.
Oh, you know, most of us Americans.
Because no one else will admit it, I'll jump right in.
I just want to say I have seen your work before.
Oh, wow.
Wait, really?
Oh, of course.
Listen, Jab pays special attention to breasts in a way that Americans just don't.
This is true.
And I want to talk about this.
This is the elephant in the room.
Talk about him.
There will be an entire 20-minute section of a Jab video that is just like boob massage.
And he knows this.
I'm like a titty guy.
Oh, he's like a titty guy.
Too much.
Too much of a TD guy.
We put tits in the back seat in the United States.
We're all butt guys in the United States.
Yes.
We're not butt guys.
That's actually not true.
I feel like people are asking.
They do love asses in America.
2020 is like.
I think asses.
We're ready to go to asses.
No, no joke.
I'm a titman as well.
But Will, too much, too much titties.
Like, he will send me videos sometimes for purely research purposes.
We're doing a job.
All right.
And he sends me these videos, and I'm like, Will, this person has back pain.
Yeah.
And also, like, it's just those things, like, they will concuss you.
I'm into that.
That's how I want to go out.
Yeah, that's how I want to die.
If I'm ever in bed, he wants to die.
I just want to be crushed.
Yeah.
With a tit.
One tit, not two.
That's how big he wants the boob to be.
Yes.
I have a controversial take about boobs.
I think they all look the same.
You're gay.
Oh.
Come on.
You agree with me.
No.
You're.
I was just, you're very.
How dare you?
Yeah.
There's no way you think they're all the same.
I went to a bachelor party and they all started to look the same to me.
This is the one.
This is his one interaction with like the straight universe.
He goes back to the same bachelor party every time.
Well, that was the only, I mean, that's my most recent interaction.
Actually, I saw some boobs last night.
Oh, oh, you guys went to a strip club.
We're going to talk about that.
We're going to talk about that.
We have so much to talk about.
We do have a lot to talk about.
Oh, my God.
By the way, this is a total ADHD podcast.
We jumped on one thing together.
I like it.
I love it.
It's all.
It's all over the place.
I was going to say, I didn't realize you had seen Kyle's work.
I apologize.
I was going to say, you are the first sex worker that we've had on this podcast that I am not familiar with their work.
But you're more into Western stuff or 2D stuff.
Yeah.
No, I'm actually.
I've tried.
I've tried to get into hentai.
I don't like it.
I don't know why I can't get into it.
I've to say, like, I don't watch porn.
Like, I've never been a fan of porn because it's like too much, like, real human beings acting together and exchanging their saliva.
It's like, wow, too much body fluid and just too real for me.
Oh, I love the more body fluid, the better.
Do you like hentai?
I do like 2D stuff.
I have manga and anime stuff.
See, I like hentai for the plot lines, which is, you know, it sounds like a meme.
No, I agree with it.
There's a rumor.
Do not agree.
Is the acting better in hentai?
Well, it's drawn.
No.
So it's not.
Oh.
Okay.
You want to know what loses me on hentai?
And I say this all the time.
I feel like a cliche at this point.
Go for it.
Yep.
X-ray vision.
No one needs to see it.
No one needs to see it.
The inside of the womb vision in hentai gets me out of it immediately.
I can't, like, what?
It looks like we're doing sex ed.
What's going on?
I can't do drawn.
It needs to be real to me.
I can't.
Have you ever looked at hentai?
No.
Marsh, can you please pull up some hentai on your phone and show it to us?
Oh, I thought you were going to put it on like the podcast screen.
I'm like, why don't we behind the paywall?
I just don't.
I mean, I've never looked at hentai.
We're going to have Austin look at hentai.
I'll react to hentai live for the first time.
I've seen, I will say, I've seen some advertisements for some animated stuff.
Yeah.
And I started to get a little aroused by it.
You won't last five minutes.
You don't think so?
That's what the ads say.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's horny grandmother.
Look, my husband is, my husband is dead.
I don't want to date.
I just want to fuck.
Oh, my God.
I've seen those advertisements.
I get a different set of advertising than these gentlemen do.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
True.
I do.
I do get a different set.
I have a lot.
I have a lot of questions about Jav.
Well, first of all, my biggest, I've talked about this on the Trash Days podcast as well.
Someone in the diet has got to come out and just uncensor the cocks and pussies in Japanese.
You don't know?
No.
I mean, I knew this.
I knew this, but I wasn't sure if that was a long time ago.
There are some uncensored shit.
It's like, well, but they shoot it in the Philippines, right?
Or they are supposed to shoot in here in Japan and they get caught and they actually get caught by police.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, that happens, but it's illegal in Japan.
So you can shoot to.
You know what?
That's a good question.
It's under the old law, right?
Yes.
And actually, we saw it because the reason why we have to wear pixel panties, like if you caught them pixel panties, like it's because we actually cannot have sex on camera.
Maybe that's the reason why.
But are you actually having sex on camera?
We were.
And then there is like a new JV note of the Java that it actually allows having sex on camera.
So it's like you can't have sex on camera.
So why the hell?
Yeah, well, that's boy.
So America has the same rule.
In Japan, as far as I understand it, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, prostitution is illegal, but very narrowly defined, which is why there's like soap lands and love hotels and host clubs and so much sex work that's already happening.
And the narrow definition is paying to have sex, to have vaginal intercourse with a woman.
Outside of that, everything is like kind of allowed.
Wait, really?
So you can have anal sex with a woman.
Yeah.
And anal sex with a man, and it's perfectly legal.
Wow.
Yeah.
Where's my hentai, Marsh?
No, let's do it in the paywall.
Let's do it in the paywall.
Oh, yeah.
Is the food here?
Yes, bring it in.
Yeah, bring it in.
While we're talking about JV spring.
Yeah, that's my number one gripe when she brings it in Jav.
Is that someone's got to unpixelate the dicks and pussies?
Yeah.
Number two, gripe, or rather, it's not gripe, but like, it's just not for me, is I have always felt like the vibes in Jav are just not for me.
Like, I feel like there's very.
Is it moaning like a too squeaky or like a too?
It's just like he's too embarrassed to say it.
I'm trying to be as nice as possible.
It just feels sad.
He has always felt, we've talked about it before.
He has always felt that the women kind of feel like almost too vulnerable.
Yeah.
Like they're not safe or they're not happy.
Right.
Because we have to say no to say yes.
Like, no, no, no, that's not etiquette.
Yeah, middle, but I also say yes.
Interesting.
That's an interesting concept.
Yeah.
I just like, I feel like no one's having a good time.
That's the way it looks like to me.
Maybe it's like a cultural thing.
I don't know.
Right.
But I watched one Western porn.
That was like, I think Avengers sing.
An Avengers porn.
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
Hey, Marsha.
Yeah, that was in the Dab Hotel, and I was like, oh, Avengers.
And it was called Hamenja.
And Hameru means like to have sex.
Hey, guys, we're going to hold off on that till the paywall portion.
We're just going to hold off.
No.
On the food, because we'll have a natural break.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good point.
Good point.
Scar is hungry, but that's okay.
I ate between them.
I ate incredible Katsudan.
I'm sorry.
We're going to talk about that in a second.
I'm sorry.
I was hungry.
I need to finish Tony Starn.
You've only watched one Western porn.
Yes, like Abenja's.
So Abenja, Pat or the Adika.
Dick Avengers.
Avengers?
And the Spider-Man was hacking, and there's just so many, something man was half fucking, but just they were just doing the penetration.
That's like, oh, yes, OS.
We were referring to the saving the world or just like.
I love it.
She was mad that the plot wasn't.
I love that.
Spider-Man.
He just.
This is valid.
Tony Stark doesn't even look like Tony Stark.
Spider-Man was suddenly like there was a hole here and then the kids.
He wasn't Spider-Man anymore.
But really, but really, I think, but I disagree with you a little bit.
I'll tell you why.
I think it is Spider-Man because I think at the end of the day, when we're all having sex, we're all the same.
We're all humans.
And that's what it was showing.
But I thought she was going to show her stuff.
Oh, that's true.
Oh, she wanted the web.
You wanted like the thing.
This woman who would get captured by the web, and then he was going to do something like her.
Yes.
Yeah.
And he's going to take the web from the inside of the city.
Oh, I see what you mean.
You wanted that kind of stuff.
The hentai would have had that plot.
Yeah, but in the official one, sorry, there wasn't enough buttons.
But it just looked like Halloween with a good stab.
Yeah.
I think that was mid.
My point is this.
I don't even like super professional American pornography either.
Have you ever heard of fake taxi?
Fake taxi?
She's a big fake taxi.
No, I like check pickup porn.
Same day.
So Check Hunter's a huge gay porn.
Oh, I love Check Hunter.
So, well, I think I'm watching something a little bit different when you're watching.
Let's see, what I was going to say is the reason why I like it is because it's more amateur.
And at least I used to date a porn star back in the day.
And she would tell me like she was way more into it or way more excited when she first had started in the business.
Like she was more enthusiastic.
And I feel like that translates into the porn itself where like the more amateur stuff is, I just want the person to be enjoying it.
Yeah.
And I feel like in Jav, it doesn't feel like they're enjoying it.
I like to subscribe to OnlyFans creators.
I actually mostly exclusively watch OnlyFans content.
Oh, we know.
Yeah, I don't know why.
I didn't know, but no, but the reason I do that is I think it feels like a more organic connection to the person, I feel like.
Shouts out to the Hasan Abbeyheads doing gay porn out there.
I love you.
I want to give you one more question about this before we move off and get into the message.
No, You keep going.
This is more important.
You just wrote a book about Jav.
What is one thing?
Oh, we lost the light.
Hold on.
Pause.
Oh, no.
Oh, I'm so sorry to tell you this is about to tell you I didn't pay for enough electricity.
There we go.
All right.
You asked a free lady.
Yeah, free electricity.
It's kind of flicking.
Yeah, we're just waiting till the break.
What's one thing about Jav to an outward observer that is like a unique factoid that you would never know by just looking at it or something that like really baffles people every time you tell them about it?
I think there are not.
Well, because of the pixels, we can be very creative and we can fake stuff.
And I have seen like a fake dudo, like a fake dick.
Okay.
Like a fake, like even like a fake pubic hair.
Really?
Yeah.
That's another causal difference.
A lot of pubic hair.
Yeah.
Oh, right.
So in society, is it more desirable to have a lot of pubic hair?
For MILF, like older women, the cougars, they're expected to have pubic hair.
But younger girls.
Has it changed over time now?
Are men more...
Younger girls just like have they don't have pubic hair.
So it just, I think they have to take it as trend.
What about the men?
Men, there are some actors actually shave and completely do epilation too.
Okay.
Especially the women.
Oh, like laser hair removal?
Yeah, appellation.
Wow.
Wow.
And some of them kind of pray to young boys.
Oh, my God.
That's not good.
That's not good.
Well, like the little roles that they pay.
They're actually a 40 or 30s.
I know.
Yeah, I was saying it's not good.
What I was saying is, societally speaking, is it normal to like, like in American culture, I'd say most men trim their stuff.
It's like naggery, just beauty treatment preference.
So you have to be able to afford it.
And then you have to change it.
But you can do it yourself.
Not laser hair removal, but just like with the Phillips North.
Dude, I use that on my face and everything else.
Wait, what?
Use your body shaver on your face?
You use your pube razor on your face?
Oh, no, guys.
Come on.
Shaving Your Face00:14:48
Why did you say that?
It was a joke on camera.
It came out a little faster.
It was a joke.
I'm a quick guy.
Yeah, come on.
I'm a quick guy.
That was not a joke.
That's interesting.
That's interesting.
It's getting more common, though.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we're not going to be able to uncensor these dicks and pussies, it seems.
Because that's a big point.
If I were to become a Japanese politician, asylum laws aside, no immigration policies aside, I'd be talking about uncensoring the dicks and pussies.
I think I would win.
I've got a platform to run on.
Yeah.
Dude, I'd vote for you.
I would be the brave motherfucker who does it because everyone else is too much of a coward.
Yeah, I'd be like, enough with this.
No, no gay marriage.
We don't need to do any of that stuff.
Oh, he'd definitely done well.
He'd out there.
Stop pixelating our freedom.
Yes.
That's right.
That's right.
America wrote the Constitution of this country.
Why didn't they not carve that out?
Wait, no, we didn't argue.
Tomorrow.
No, we did.
Did we?
100%.
Well, that's why this country is so great.
World War II happened.
And then we...
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Well, that.
No, no, no.
We definitely did.
Okay, yeah, you're right.
I mean, I don't mean that as a positive for the rest of the day.
I was like, I think it's generally not.
Japan is awesome.
I think it's great.
Thank you.
This guy just said that after, no, yeah, no, yeah, Japan's awesome.
Oh, no.
No, Japan is great, but there's a lot of that.
We got our own issues, yes.
Yeah, there's a lot that's wrong with Japan.
Mostly because of what we did to Japan.
Right, yeah.
All right, I want to pull Scara in.
Whoa, what's up?
Scara, you've been having a fantastic time in Japan.
Yes.
You were chomping at the bit to tell us about your food.
Okay, this is really weird.
When I travel nowadays, you know what I do?
What's that?
I sleep a lot.
I think I work a lot.
So like when I'm, I always tell myself this, I don't put like a cut on, like, I don't make plans where I do the full day.
Sure.
I just let however long my body sleeps, I let it go.
You just let yourself.
That's the way to do it.
And you like hotels.
Yes, I like hotels.
Him and I both like hotels.
You prefer to stay in hotels.
Stop trying to gas him up.
But usually when I, like, I used to stream or not this year, but I used to stream like, you know, every day, like a lot.
Like this guy.
Yeah.
But like, like it, it wears you down over time.
And when I go on vacations, I'm just like, sometimes I'm just out for like 10 hours, 12, like 12 hours.
And it's like, nice.
But I've been eating so much food.
Before this trip, I got a list of, I put a list.
I got like 20 food places in Tokyo I wanted to go to.
Yes.
I've been to like five or six of them since I've been here.
Incredible.
I had the katsudan today.
Incredible.
You said it made you cry.
I ate so fast, I started choking.
And the cats are done place.
Yes.
Oh, I started choking.
I ran out of the tea to drink and I couldn't, it was like really awkward.
It's because it only seats eight people.
So I started choking and the person, like, I was like, I hope the person starts.
You're choking?
Yeah.
Oh, like, you know, choking food.
So I was eating so fast.
And the person next to me, I was a little uncomfortable.
And I was just like, oh, God, I can't get this out.
So I just ate even faster to finish the meal and walk out and go find like a place to get a drink.
I ate the catsud in 10 minutes.
I got it completely over and I just ran out.
I would love to partake in a food adventure with you, except, you know, when we first arrived, I asked Tarik, speak on a king.
Hey, Todik, what are you doing?
You know, you're out here.
Let's fucking hang out.
You know, we planned coming to Japan and hanging out together.
He's like, oh, I'm going to dinner with offline TV.
Yeah.
And I said, that's great.
Yeah.
Let's, you know, let's also come to dinner with offline TV.
Then he asked you a question.
What was that question he asked you?
And he said, how many people do you have in your squad?
And I gave the number.
Right.
And we even shaved a couple of people.
We shaved March immediately.
We cut March out.
That's like fucked up.
No, he was.
No, he didn't want to hang out with us.
Let's be real.
But that's, but I was, you know.
Wait, wait, wait.
People, you didn't.
Was I going to allow to go to the dinner?
I'm pretty sure because I mentioned your name, they said no.
Yeah.
Well, it seems like offline TV said, well, they didn't even say anything.
They just said, too many people.
It's not us.
It sounds like a Tariq thing.
Okay.
Just, I come to this country and I'm not sure.
Are you throwing him under the bottom?
I'm not saying anything.
Obviously, I realize that ideally you want to eat with like two to four people.
The restaurants are small, they're pretty small, right?
So then when this guy comes in, and know this, like everyone here is like, you know, very tall, very plus size.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like they're like more than one person.
Like, in fact, there's like two people a person, right?
Not saying you're, you're like, you're be sizes.
No, I'm just saying it's Japan.
Not only did you disinvite us from the dinner.
You called us fat.
He said we're fat.
Look at me.
No, it's not a big fan.
He said, look, he said, fatties, you don't need to eat.
I'm just saying we have, we had eight people already eating.
And then this guy is like, yo, we can fit in.
And I'm like, I didn't say anything.
But Tarik probably automatically was like.
Wow, I don't think they can.
And he made the decision.
You didn't have to say anything.
Well, we'll table it.
It could have gone either way.
But you bailed us.
Yeah.
You cut us out.
Tara cut you out.
Well, Tara cut us out.
As an extension of you.
Though he's my Turkish blood brother, he cut us here for Val.
He's here for you, man.
He cut us out because offline TV cut us out.
Let's be real.
We just want to be included.
We have beef with offline TV.
This guy didn't even come out to drink.
Okay.
Are you going to make me read?
Are you going to make me read Broden stop?
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
I just quickly, we're not going to get into it.
But the first thing Scar said to me is like, oh, you didn't make it out to drink.
And I was like, wait a minute.
What did Broden tell you?
Because I was communicating with Broden.
And I read one of Broden's tweets to me, Twitter messages, and it was just, how soon are you, brother?
At 12:30.
He stopped making sense.
We were soon.
When he came in, we were out in the bars and we were drinking.
And within like an hour, I was just so was this last night?
It seems like offline TV did not just bail on us once, but twice.
Maybe.
And yet you're still churning content for them.
Listen, I'm the bigger person.
We're going to move forward.
What's your favorite place to eat in Japan?
Oh, I'm so interested.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
There's so many things.
Damn.
What's your favorite food?
Favorite restaurant?
Well, I recently found a really nice soba restaurant.
And there is a tofu restaurant.
I've been meaning to make reservations, but they only take a reservation like three months prior to what?
Then every time I call it, I'm like, oh, it's all food.
I keep trying that every single month, but no.
What was a sober restaurant?
Because he looked like it was his birthday when you mentioned soba.
In Shibuya, actually.
And it's really nice.
It's very English-friendly.
And it looks kind of like this.
It's just very posh.
What's it called?
I forgot.
I think Dayun.
I think it's Rayun.
Ryan.
So I went and had sushi today in Japan for the first time.
And it was amazing.
Yeah.
But it was scary because I don't eat really.
Oh, right.
The only sushi I like is salmon and tuna.
Oh, and I go into this place.
I go into this place and I'm like, okay, so I sit down.
So I'm expecting, you know, the only place I've been in the United States.
So I'm expecting a menu.
I can choose a couple of things.
We sit down and the guy shows me the menu and he says, which one do you want?
And I was like, well, 10 pieces or 20 pieces.
I was like, you know, I'll take the 10 piece.
And I was like, well, you know, and then I was expecting another menu to choose the fish.
And no, no, no.
No, that's not.
The chef chooses Omakase.
Yeah.
There's an order.
Like, wait, how is that?
Well, I didn't know this.
So I'm already there.
And I'm like, this is a man who is classically trained in like sushi chef mastery his whole life.
Sitting across from a man from Portland, Oregon, who's like, Can I get this salmon?
Well, yeah, this doesn't look like salmon, but he ate some Krispy Rice.
So I immediately knew what I was getting myself into.
But they went, they proceeded to serve.
And I, like I said, tuna and salmon are my only sushi that I like.
Yeah.
And I sat there and politely ate sea urchin.
Oh, that was a hot one, too.
So my favorite.
So was it a good sea urchin?
Was it very sea urchin?
Oh, it oh, the look.
The food was, the food was incredible.
The sushi we had was incredible, but it was, I, there was a lot of stuff that I'll never eat again.
Like, what the sea urchin was probably the grossest one that I had.
Yeah, that's the sea urchin was bad.
And also the eel was, was, I couldn't, the eel was very fatty.
It was, it was, if you don't know what to expect, it can mess with your palate.
It was, I, couldn't do it.
Uh, but, but, but, look, wonderful food.
The people are incredible.
You wanted me to do this to like a professional.
So, this is my, this is my idea.
This is my idea.
And you guys, you can tell me if this is crazy.
Okay.
He doesn't eat any fish.
I don't.
I, I, I throw up.
I cannot eat seafood.
I wanted to go to an omikase restaurant and preface this to the chef and be like, listen, we want to order him.
You're his only hope.
We are going to enjoy your omikase.
We're going to try and save his soul.
We should go to the same one.
The chef spoke English.
He was incredible.
He was really nice.
Zero fish.
Zero fish.
We could run out the restaurant.
I've been to Michelin.
I've been to Michelin Star.
I've been to Omakase's.
I've been to Michelin Star Seafood like sushi restaurants.
I'm convinced he was hurt by a fish's salad.
I cannot, like, even, I don't even like seaweed.
Like, the taste of anything that comes out of the sea dude like Hassan, you would not be able to, you wouldn't, you would last like no, I know.
I've probably had more, I've had more diverse fish than you have, I promise.
Like, I've tried that, not after today.
Oh, yeah.
And also, like, at expensive restaurant, like, if they don't have salmon, because that's more like a Western fish.
Yeah, well, they had salmon eggs.
That's a cheap thing.
Oh, it's a cheap.
It's a fish.
Yeah, fish is a cheap egg.
Wait, but I had salmon eggs.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Salmon rose.
Yeah, it's good.
It was in a roll.
The Torah was so good.
But we had tuna and fatty tuna.
That was really good.
Otoro is salmon's a cheap fish.
I love salmon.
I thought they were going to sear it and everything.
Yeah.
That guy's a good salad.
Wait, look, I know more about sushi than he does.
Wait, but do you see?
Do you sear salmon here?
Or is it like seared tuna?
Well, seared tuna is there about salmon or it's more of a.
Do they ever smoke it?
Smoke salmon.
It's more, I think, Western style.
It's not already traditional Japanese.
Do they ever do?
One thing I do know is you're not going to find a Philadelphia roll here.
I never even tried.
Do you know what a Philadelphia roll is?
I know what you're doing.
Oh, they put cream cheese in it.
Cream cheese cheese in it.
And they deep dry.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, they typically.
If you ever ask me cream cheese here with your sushi, I want to see the chef's fish.
Yeah, no.
Look, I know that that's very like we go to Jiro in the subway.
Could you throw a dollop of cream cheese on there, Jiro?
I think he could execute you and it's valid at that point.
He just fucking kills you.
Jiro dreams of sushi would become Jiro dreams of stabbing his gas.
Yeah.
It's just like, wow, I've never been asked this before.
Wow.
Is this your first time to Japan?
Second.
But this is like my first time where I plan stuff.
So I went with a group.
It was like a tour guide.
And so like we were, we half did our own stuff and half did it.
But it was during COVID.
Oh.
So we were the first group let in.
Which was it was good because there was no crowd.
We went to Osaka.
We went to Tokyo Place.
No crowd.
We just walked around.
It was Dalton Burry was empty.
Also, no fish.
Yes.
We just had every place to ourselves.
And this time I come back, I hear more Chinese than Japanese.
Really?
There are so many Chinese people here.
Damn.
Scar is coming in with a racial.
Get these Chinese out of this country.
You will fit right in.
It's crazy.
Hassan has also said he's seen too many whites.
Yeah, he's not that.
It's so stupid because, like, obviously we're white, but whenever I see.
I'm Lebanese.
Whenever I. Whenever we.
Why are you laughing?
It's true.
He's making fun of my culture again.
You don't even know what Phoenician was.
You can't claim the Lebanese.
Phoenicians are people from Phoenix.
Does that?
Yeah, it sounds good.
You didn't know what people you've descended from.
I asked you if you're Christian, Lebanese, or Muslim.
And then I said, oh, you're Phoenician.
He's like, no, I'm not.
I'm Lebanese.
I'm Lebanese.
That's what I'm saying.
Okay.
Well, that's besides the point.
We're white.
We go out.
We, including myself, Will.
We're white.
Yeah.
I like that.
I look at you because you're like, eh.
Are you not whitewill?
No.
You questioned my whiteness?
No.
Whenever I say we're white, Will's like, eh.
But anyway, but when I see other white people, like, or when I see other gaijin, I'm like, oh, this place, this place is down in the dumps now.
Yeah.
Do you think there's too many white people in Japan right now?
Yeah, what do you think of white people?
Unload on them.
Unload them.
I consider they're a lot of tourists.
And I'm kind of personally surprised because I didn't know Japan was a popular destination after recently.
Really?
Really?
Like, no, it's a guy named Manga and also people are trying to ski, like go skiing in Hokkaido.
Do you watch any Marvel films?
Oh, I do some.
I haven't caught up on the game.
Did you watch Black Panther?
I've seen the Trader.
The only saying.
There's a saying that Japan is Wokanda for white people.
Wokanda for white people.
Like, this is like our fantasy land.
Like, that's where we feel most.
Everybody that I talk to about Tokyo or Japan in general in the United States says it's the best place.
What's vibranium?
Like, Hentai?
Like, I'm confused.
No, the Wakanda thing is actually because, like, you know, Japan is it's more so that like a lot of racist people like it because they're like, oh, Japan is ethnically homogenous.
That's where it comes from, technically.
Okay, OT always has this thing where like a lot of times we come to Japan, something bad happens.
Like, when the just something terrible happens.
I know it.
I know what you're talking about.
I know.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Last year we came.
Can we a meltdown kind of symbol?
Tokyo Fantasy Land00:02:42
No, no.
Last time we came, the day we landed, drama.
Someone got shot in the country.
Whoa, the president.
She's off.
They don't lobby yet.
She's aware of me.
He's like a self-made gun.
Yeah, with a self-makeup.
You abandoned.
And they're like, yeah, by the way, the person got shot.
And I was like, what the heck?
It's like, Hassan's.
It's kind of like landing in LA where they don't even tell you anymore.
Someone's just getting shot every day.
Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of gun violence.
A lot more than one person.
LAX is like a third world country.
Yeah.
Have you ever flown into LAX?
Yes.
I don't even know what that is.
It's the worst.
The X always stands for international.
Yeah, it's just, it's a very bad experience.
I don't know.
I feel so bad when people come from other countries and they expect you're like, oh.
Yeah, it's really bad.
LAX is a disaster.
I've been to the Seoul airport.
I've been to Singapore Airport.
And I go from those and go to LAX.
I'm like, oh, I feel very good.
Another world machine.
People come from other countries and they go through customs and then they dump them into the horseshoe of the LAX chaos and tour buses.
You will never get your luggage back sometimes.
Sometimes forever is gone permanently.
It is terrible.
You can't connect from one terminal to the next.
It's awful.
We got a lot of problems.
We got a lot of problems in Los Angeles.
But you know what?
But we pay a lot of taxes.
So that's, you know, for some reason.
I mean, very expensive.
You know what I mean?
For some reason, I don't know where that money's going.
Don't say we, you don't pay taxes.
Oh, I pay California State taxes.
You do?
I had a contract that I had to pay taxes on it.
Only one contract.
What do you normally pay?
I pay Oregon State income.
Well, you're going to have to pay LA taxes on Fear End.
Oh, yeah, because we produce it.
I just want to tell the IRS.
IRS?
Hello?
I'm kidding.
85,000 new agents.
IRS, no, look.
Joe Brandon's.
We're actually filming.
We're filming in the tax shelter that is Tokyo, Japan.
Yeah, true.
Tokyo is a tax shelter for Americans with a passport.
Yeah, we'll just, this is where, this is our new, but this is where we're filming all our episodes now.
Yes.
Is it the rooftop of the history of the future?
I told my family today I might apply for a visa.
Really?
Yeah.
You're going to move to Tokyo.
I want to stay here for like a month.
You can stay here for a month without a visa.
Staying here for like 90 days, one to three months is really cool, really awesome idea.
You can stay here for 90 days because here's my thing, and you can tell me.
I think Tokyo is incredible.
Oh, but what I want to do is see all the different places in Japan because I feel like there's so much big cities and also small.
I want to go to the rural areas.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, yeah, because you know, me too.
Confessions in Jail00:03:55
And the reason why I want to do that is because the dumbest reason there's a show in Japan where they get babies to do chores.
Yes.
What?
I've seen this or a Casio Four Kiss.
Yeah, and they're four-year-olds and they're doing chores, okay?
And it's the theme song is like, nah, na, nay, na, And it is wonderful.
Not because, like, it's cute.
These little cute babies are doing chores.
They're like stupid, but they're so smart at the same time.
It's wonderful because the cities are so walkable.
Yeah, and it's so sick that a fucking four-year-old can go and like pick up dry cleaning for their sushi chef dad.
Okay.
And I want to see those villages.
I want to see those cities.
That's what I want to go for.
Does crime even happen here?
99% conviction rate.
And you can also smoke pots here.
So that's true.
I didn't bring any weed.
I was very scared to bring it.
Did you know Advento are banned here?
Really?
Not banned, but your pain relief medicine here in Japan is lower strength here.
This sucks.
This won't come out till later, but our producer accidentally smuggled acid into the country.
Wait, really?
Do you have any on you right now?
No, we got rid of it.
I was like, no, we didn't take it.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Hold on.
Wait a second.
Is there Advil illegal to bring into the country?
I think so.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I got two big.
I don't think it's that bad.
It's not.
Well, I think you could do three years for smuggling meat in.
Wait, what about Advil?
Is that polonia?
You're going to fucking jail after this, dog.
I called the fucking police.
Oh, God.
You want to get 50 prescriptions?
You have to.
No, Advil's not a prescription.
It's over the counter.
But there are certain substances.
We both brought finesteride.
There are certain substances.
No, that's fine.
It's not for your hair.
Finesteride is fine.
There are certain substances that are super illegal.
Adderall, for example, if you are caught with Adderall on you, you will definitely go to Japanese prison.
Wait, really?
Yes.
Japanese has a very strict, yeah, doesn't matter.
Japan has a very strict ban on any substance that resembles methamphetamines.
Get rid of your shit.
From what I understand, due to World War II era.
Yeah, they used to be big on meth.
They love the meth.
The pilots, especially, from what I know.
Wow.
I mean, meth was pretty ubiquitous.
Meth was pretty popping.
Yeah.
I mean, they housewives were taking it as a diet supplement.
Lego running follow the show to remember the motherfucker.
Yeah, which sounds the most insane thing.
So Adderall is like hyper-illegal.
If you are caught with Adderall, you will probably go to jail.
Also, another fun fact about Japan, you can tell me if I'm wrong on any of this stuff, but if you do a crime, or even if you're like, even if the police suspect you of doing a crime and say you've done a crime, they say, always say, yes, I did the crime.
You will have an easier sentence and you will be able to get out of jail unless you try to fight it, in which case they will do an involuntary hold for you for at least up to 28 days.
Oh, I actually never got into any criminal travels, though, but so I'm not really sure about it.
She straightly came out.
I know you guys, even in the JV industry, I know some actress had got caught doing uncinthere porn and she didn't know what it is.
Did she go to jail?
Yeah, I don't know if you go to jail because she had it wasn't a prison.
It was more temporary jail.
Yeah, no, punishments are not as severe.
Did you have to get caught in the act of making uncensored porn or did she get caught after the fact?
After, after, not the fact that.
No, no.
Japanese sentences are not anywhere near as bad as American sentences, of course.
Whiskey and Trouble00:14:50
But that is unless you plead not guilty and try to tell the police that you're not guilty.
Do they have the death penalty here?
They do?
Oh, they have capital punishment?
Yeah.
Is it by like lethal injection?
I hardly get to the you, they are going to mouthful switches that you can push and they you don't.
Oh yeah yeah, so that the one pushing it, they don't know the?
Yeah, that's an interesting one.
So that is that comes from.
Killed by a puzzle?
No, three people, it's like three people a game.
Three people push the button at the same time and you don't know who has the kill switch.
That is done in the same fashion for so they don't know who kills the person.
Yeah, yeah.
So the consciousness, so that you, so that you don't feel like you kill someone I mean, I would be mad, I would think I did it.
So military, military executions work in the same way, where they put uh, fake bullets in some of the guns and real bullets in others, so you don't know if you're the one responsible.
I think that's worse, because I feel like all three of those people are like I definitely just happened recently in Japan that what you're talking about actually happened recently in Japan, where all three, I think, like refused to to hit the switch.
So then a third, a fourth person had to like do it.
Um, what?
That's what I?
I remember where did I read that's we.
That's, that's crazy.
That's like a saw.
This is like a recent chair that happened in Japan.
I'm pretty sure it's it's electric chair or something like that.
Oh no, extra chair, I don't think it.
I think the electric chair is pretty archaic at this point.
Yeah oh really yeah, oh yeah, that's like it's like the guillotine at this point.
Okay wait wait, I just have.
I have a question, but it's completely deviant from we can.
No, let's change this, let's move.
I'm ready for it.
Yeah, i'm done with this topic.
Yeah yeah, i'm here dominating.
I am here in Tokyo yes yeah, and late at night, like sometimes, i'm just like what am I doing?
Unless my friends are out drinking somewhere and I I don't join them some of the times.
I'm just like, what do I do?
Yeah, i'm kind of curious.
You know what you guys are looking to do and what you do normally in Tokyo, because I i'm just like uh, we could go to the gay bars Scara oh, I mean don't no no Scara no, there are a lot of people.
Don't do it.
The gay bars are better than the straight.
The gay bars are actually great, but like don't Karao don't, don't allow Austin to to do this to you okay well okay, what do I mean?
This is, this is third opinion.
Third opinion, yeah, I personally did not go out at night.
It's just scary.
I grew up in Tokyo, I was born here, but it's just.
I'm scared with drunk people walking around and I try to talk to you and, oh really yeah, i've seen that i've been a courage kid, i've been to club and i've done that.
Like you're also a beautiful woman, which I think factors into your dress is fabulous.
Well, even if you weren't a beard, how?
Or recognized?
Sorry, not that much because I don't always dress like this, but if you dress like this, I try to cover it with.
You have to do that because you very see a cleavage.
Yeah, in Japan yeah, I know, I saw a woman here.
That was obvious.
I don't know if she was a foreigner, but she had cleavage and she, she showed a lot of skin and she showed all tattoos.
Wow, I was like, oh my gosh.
So this?
I'm sorry to get off boobs for a second, but I was watching.
No no, it's a genetic.
I don't know why this reminded me of it, but I need I.
I have a customs question.
I was standing in line for a taxi stand.
And the line, I stood next to somebody at the taxi stand, kind of like instead of like the line, like the road was here.
And then I started the line going this way.
And then somebody went behind the person that I was standing behind.
Oh, did you see the floor on the road?
There is like a footprint that you're supposed to be.
Oh, I didn't see those, but evidently, and I was like, oh my God, I'm in the wrong spot.
And I just went and stood behind the guy that cut me and I let him take, and he didn't mention anything about him cutting me.
Was that, is that, is it because I was improperly in line?
It's a common mistake because you're like a kickstep and like say like, oh, stand this way.
And I saw you, you missed that at convenience towards the other day.
And I was just wondering if it was like, if you're improperly in line, will people just cut you?
Did you just have like a moment where someone was being rude to you and you thought that this would be a good question to present?
About, I didn't think he was being rude.
Maybe I was being rude for improperly standing at the taxi.
I have seen people be rude here.
I've seen foreigners be rude.
It's not foreigners.
Here's like an example that I saw on the train, like once for sure, kind of maybe twice, where a foreigner will sit down and then they'll spread their legs through across two chairs.
And it'll be a packed me.
It'll be a packed train.
But obviously, none of the people are going to tell him, please, like, can I sit down?
So he just does it for seven stops or something like that.
And I'm just like, no one's going to tell him.
But I know that's kind of rude, right?
But it's like, it's like, it happens, you know, because it's Japanese people are definitely a little too polite.
I think Japanese people are the nicest people in the world.
We could be a little bit timid.
I don't know if they're like super nice.
I just feel like they're avoiding travel managers.
Yes.
Yeah, they're afraid of the person.
They're very timid.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Wait, I have to ask you specifically.
So one of my friends yesterday, Peter, was at the bar with some of my friends.
Or a club.
Some of my friends, okay?
Got invited.
And he says that Japanese girls are so forward.
Another event that we were not invited.
I was not there.
I was not there.
Peter?
Peter said this?
Yeah, he was at a club because they got invited randomly.
We were at the crab.
Wasn't it in Nopongi?
Crabs, like, they love foreigners.
Yeah, yeah.
It was definitely a foreigner club.
But apparently it was like, there were like locals, and then there were two Japanese girls.
And when he was like looking around, they like made eye contact and then he looked away and apparently she moved into his line of sight as he looked away and looked back.
And I'm like, and then I was told that like because the guys here are so timid, sometimes the girls are more aggressive.
They go to crabs, meaning they want to meet guys.
That's it.
Let's go to these clubs.
We can.
We can.
We have some friends.
We have some friends out here.
We'll go to Straight Maiden out here.
Stop.
Austin loves attention.
You know, gay people go to clubs other than gay clubs, right?
I don't think, I think, I don't think straight clubs are fun.
I wonder why.
Do you understand that Juda said that they're not straight clubs?
They're just clubs.
Well, so are gay clubs.
They're just clubs, too.
Now that we're thinking, why weren't we talking about it?
Huh?
Civil rights are like that.
Yeah, I know.
Always.
He fought for porn Spider-Man.
Yeah, that's Spider-Man because we're all human and he could have his dick out too.
Look, I think that I just think that somebody's got to do it for this podcast.
What have you enjoyed nightlife so far?
Yeah.
Awesome.
I mean, I've hung up the reins a long time ago with my nightlife escapades.
You were out with us last night.
I was.
I mean, I like drinking still, you know.
I love the, I love high balls.
They speak to me.
Really?
Yeah, very refreshing.
It seems like when you're drinking it, you're like, this is probably good for you.
It's probably healthy.
Okay.
I feel satiated.
When does this podcast come out?
Next Monday.
I hate Japanese whiskey.
Oh, you should have to make sure you're out of the ear.
I'm not saying that.
I have to literally leave the country.
Well, I'm just not a whiskey guy.
And every single alcoholic menu.
Yeah.
And also, like, what about other highballs, whiskey?
I love whiskey.
Specifically, Japanese whiskey.
So I'm very happy.
The sours have been so good.
The shochu has gotten me in trouble.
Oh.
Like a couple nights, I was drinking a lot of Soju Ambassador.
You are.
I don't like Soju that much right now.
Don't you have the cutout?
I have his.
So he did a very famous Soju endorsement.
And I have the ad, the cutout in my house.
It's true.
We were at one point sponsored by a Soju company.
I know.
And we had like a cutout.
It was really cute.
But right now I'm drinking like, oh no, I like sours a lot.
I love that I can come to Japan.
Any place has sours.
And I'm like, yeah, we have a big drinking character.
I mean, actually, I don't drink.
I used to be.
You're so strange.
I'm boring you, okay?
Like, I used to be in a carriage.
My carriage wasn't even extibuya.
And then I was working at a newspaper company and then they cover sports.
So like they're dudes in date.
I'm drinking, but I hated that.
It's just, I drink meron soda and kind of.
You work for a newspaper?
Yeah, I work for a newspaper.
This is sports, Tokyo Sports.
What be?
Oh, so you do the sports?
Yeah, and I was covering Japanese baseball, even though I didn't know the rules at the time.
Should we go to Japanese baseball?
We have to go.
Awesome.
I don't even like baseball, but I heard an experience because it's like really like a special octopus and they love it and they get like really funny.
Did they play Take Me Out to the Ball Game?
No.
No.
On that note.
Why aren't they playing the American National Anthem here?
What's going on?
On that note, Austin needs to experience a lot of things, obviously.
And the first of which is going to be Hentai.
Hentai.
Behind the paywall.
We're not?
Where are we at?
Oh, MCC.
Good.
No, no, no.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's keep going.
We'll cut that part and then we'll continue.
I thought I timed it perfectly.
I thought so too.
I was like, I literally was thinking like an hour.
We do an hour and then another hour behind the paywall.
Interesting.
Yeah.
We just run it.
Yeah.
It goes as long as it was.
So behind the paywall, we get lewed.
If you want to get after it, get crazy, get weird, really weird behind the paywall.
So like our OTV podcast went that way, or it is that way for a lot of it.
And then at some point, it's just like, there's not much more to talk about.
And we just start talking about like very personal stuff.
Yeah.
Super personal stuff.
We do too.
We get really intimate.
Feelings and shit.
I'm like, wow, I never expected to talk about this.
It depends.
Last episode behind the Patreon, they cleaned my ear.
Yep.
We did an ear cleaner.
Oh, my God.
We put olive oil in there.
This shit was not working.
And then she took us to a professional ear cleaner.
They pulled a creature out of his ear.
Yeah, that was my favorite.
My ears were the dirtiest ears this man has ever been.
I was so jealous.
I love getting my ears cleaned.
Oh, it was so sick.
It was incredible.
This poor Japanese man was terrified.
Yeah, he straight up said it was one of the worst ears he's ever cleaned in his professional life.
And he said Boyle's was one of the best ears he's ever cleaned.
It was such a shameful ear that he was embarrassed for.
Did you hear better?
Did you feel like you can hear?
You're like, you develop a superpower.
I was deaf partially in one ear for 24 hours last week.
Bro, we're talking about how much earwax came out of it.
Yeah, I got signed.
Not that much of an exaggerated.
Close.
It was very nasty.
But you feel great.
Yeah, I feel pretty good now.
That's awesome.
Going back to the nightlife thing.
I want to go to a host club.
I was thinking.
And the reason why I want to do it is because I'm going to come out.
I'm going to come out of the closet.
I'm a bit of a weeb.
I know you guys are shocked to find me.
Amen.
Okay.
I've been hiding this from you.
You're literally known for being a week.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I know you didn't know this about me, but I do like to watch a lot of TV shows about Japan and also animes.
And also Yakuza, the video game franchise, which I love.
And they always go in, well, it's called Kamaucho in the game.
Komodo Cho.
But Komodocho in the game, but it's Kobukicho in real life.
And we went there last night and it was great.
I want to live like Kazumakiryu for one night, where I want to go to a host club and I want, like you know the, the Japanese hostesses.
We want to get scammed yeah, we want to get scammed.
We want to like buy expensive champagne right and like champagne tower yeah, and tell us like we're handsome and so rich and powerful.
I hear that it's not as great as an experience if you can't speak Japanese.
I heard that, which is why Rob C D Angel of Shibuya is actually working on a club that we can go to, where they speak at least a little bit more English.
What do they?
What do these host clubs do?
Well, they entertain you to keep talking to you and they try to get you into them and and so you just basically, you just speak to them and you just they give you company like you had a potential boyfriend, that kind of para social relationship and yeah, but it doesn't go past that.
And and hosts in this host, like the male hosts and, I guess, female hostess as well they make bang, like some of the top ones are like incredibly wealthy.
The show, the anime that just released that youtube video.
He has a billionaire yeah, who's?
Uh, who's the most famous, the most wealthy host in Japan.
Have you a billionaire host?
Yeah, have you guys been to the host areas, the areas with the hosts?
We saw one.
We saw one while we were walking.
I immediately pointed him out in the crowd.
The no no no, the ads are leaderboards.
Yeah, they're crazy.
It's like.
It's like a Valorant leaderboard.
Yeah, so if you are you, they rate you by like top, top five, and if you're first place, you get like a your own dedicated thing.
You're rank one host for the club.
Yeah, and your face is out.
Then it says, like my job is being good looking.
It's, you just said that my job is being good looking.
Dude, this culture is incredible.
You should get that banner on your stream.
That's awesome.
Number one, number one.
Looking at hostu, My job is being good looking.
Hello.
But I, well, first of all, my looks probably not very attractive to Japanese people.
Yeah, I was going to say, do they, what's the perception of like really the average Japanese woman, I don't think, will fancy.
Streamer Culture Clash00:11:37
Really?
I get the feeling I'm not a Japanese girl or not really into hair on guys.
Yeah.
Chest hair.
Would they be into him?
Do you have chest hair?
Between Hassan and I.
I have no chest hair.
And Will.
Yes, you do.
And Scarlet.
I definitely say they would be disappointed that you're gay.
Really?
They're going to find you so attractive.
So between Hassan and I, it's over for Hassan.
I'm more sought after in Japan.
I know.
Let's go to a straight club.
You are so chest.
Wait, I'm starting to learn.
Austin likes attention.
Oh.
Wow.
Scarlett, really?
What?
I mean, what?
Where did that come from?
That's baby.
Attention.
I've been getting a little too much of it lately.
We went to a gay bar last night because Austin was like, if we don't go to a gay bar, I'm going to kill myself.
I did not say that at all.
You didn't say that.
You know why we need to go to a gay bar?
It's because this man hired me a boyfriend against my will, by the way, that didn't speak English, that I didn't see before, and put me through the most awkward, uncomfortable position I've ever been in my life.
You said you're lonely.
I did not say that.
Hassan and I practiced boy love.
We did.
It would have been great if I did.
Look, I wanted to practice boy love.
I would love to practice boy love with you guys.
But you brought me a wonderful.
And let me just start out by saying, my boyfriend yesterday.
What's his name?
I don't remember.
It was Ray.
I don't remember.
We never even exchanged our names in the beginning.
Yeah, you did.
Okay.
You did.
What was this?
I'm not a slut.
I don't remember it.
Ray.
It was Ray.
and I had a wonderful time together.
What did you think of Hassan and my boy love?
Was it Haskell?
That was really fun.
That was fun to watch.
That was very arousing.
Oh.
Oh!
She's a professional.
She's a professional.
BO content.
It's escaping.
As I was saying, oh, we gave it all the time.
As I was saying, it was very uncomfortable and awkward.
So we had to get it.
I had to be Anita picked me up, so we went to the gay bar.
So he basically said, if we don't go to the gay bar, I'm going to kill myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we went to the first one.
Of course, there's a Hasanabe head there.
Classic.
But that one wasn't that good.
I have a theory as to why the gay bar is very friendly.
I don't think there are as many outwardly gay and willing to be outwardly gay in public Japanese men as there are like expats and transplants because a lot of the people in there look like expants and like tourists.
I think gay bars in general are just more accepting of everything in general across the world.
Yeah, but I'm just saying there were a lot of tourists in that gay bar.
Oh, yeah.
There was a lot of BS.
British people.
Yeah, I think the gay scene in Japan, as far as we saw in Tokyo at least, was like mostly mostly like, you know, immigrants.
You know, foreigners.
Really?
But what was I going to say?
Fuck.
Hold on.
There was one thing.
Why did I bring up the gay bar?
Oh.
So we went to the gay bar and Austin immediately was like, I got to do karaoke.
Oh, cool.
But is he going to do karaoke?
Like, he's going to try something fun.
No.
He's going to do Frank Sinatra.
Why?
Because that's his.
They loved it.
That's his fourth time.
That's in his range.
That's his range.
He's very good at Frank Sinatra, so he's going to do it.
Fly me to the moon.
See, wait, that's the end of his song.
So he went over.
Yeah, that's what, and that's what.
Well, we didn't go over.
We were beckoning.
We were pulled over there.
Eight people.
He literally got a crowd to listen to him do Frank's and Adria.
But before we went over there, he came up to me and he pointed to a couple Japanese twinks at the ball.
Oh, God.
And he said, look, these guys are looking at me.
I don't think they're my type.
And I was like, okay, why don't you go talk to them?
He's like, you know what?
I realized this song.
I think I like the attention more than anything else.
It's like, you think Austin?
Do you think you like the attention more than anything else?
I'm just going to say it.
We are all in this business because we like attention.
Right?
True.
Some more than others.
I like attention.
I like to entertain people.
Yeah.
But you like the attention from people when you're entertaining them.
That's what it is.
It makes you happy.
I mean, that's part of the high.
I would say.
You get a high out of it.
I get a high, but I would say that when I am doing the attention stuff for my work, I hate my birthday because I don't like attention.
Well, I hate my birthday too.
I don't care what you do.
Unless I'm performing.
You think it's not deserved attention.
That's why.
I'm getting attention that I don't feel like I have gone over.
Not Jesus Christ.
Like, what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no.
But I like when people, I like, I like meeting people.
I think it's one of the most endearing things when people come up to you and say hello.
Yeah, I like attention.
Fuck it.
I like attention.
I will say, I think if you're a streamer, there's a lot of, there's a good chance you're a narcissist.
Because to be successful, you have to at least.
She's a good person.
I mean, I agree.
I say to some degree, like you have to be a narcissist.
Oh, it's fine.
Look what it is.
I'm just the, I like attention.
I'm the only one that has the balls to say it.
No, I say it all the time.
You just love attention all the time.
Yeah.
Not all the time.
That's the difference.
I like some time to myself.
Yesterday I had some time to myself.
You did when you left the aquarium?
I left the aquarium and I got lost in a building for an hour and a half because I couldn't find the door.
We got out of the aquarium and that's the that by the time we got out of the aquarium, that was when you were leaving the mall.
I couldn't figure out how to get out.
I got stuck in a Japanese mall because I couldn't find the door.
I was going up and down the escalator.
Looking for the exit.
I ended up at a convention center.
And then I had to keep pacing in a mall.
And then I get out of the building finally.
And then I had to pee.
So I had to go back in the building.
I got lost again.
I couldn't find the exit.
And I finally got out.
And then Ubers.
It's a rite of passage to get lost in Japan.
Yeah.
I think the best part of traveling is to go somewhere and get lost.
Well, you know that there's actually a lot of data on like wandering in a new place is supposed to be really good for your mental.
Yeah, except for usually you don't get lost in the mall.
Yeah, I got lost with signs that clearly probably pointed to you.
But usually, like the first time I was in Japan, I was on the Keyoto last year, and I got lost because I took a bus.
Yeah.
I asked some, like, I pointed to some like old people who were like clearly in their 60s, 70s.
And I pointed and they're like, this bus.
So I went on the bus.
Wrong bus.
It was the wrong bus.
Never trust old people.
I looked at the map and I was going like 30 minutes in the other direction.
Oh, God.
I started messaging people.
Is this the right way?
Guys?
And they'll look at me like, that is not the right way.
I got lost for like an hour and a half.
But it was a good experience.
It was fun.
Like, sometimes it's fun to get lost.
And I was having fun in the mall, too.
Sometimes it is fun to get lost.
Finish.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
Like we did in conversation right now because now we are over an hour.
We'll let Scara finish real quick.
I cut him off.
Okay.
No, I'm good.
Okay.
He's going to tell the rest of it.
I think Scara, just like everyone else in this room, is very excited to engage Austin with some hentai for the first time in his life.
Which you will be able to see behind the paywall.
I'm Scara.
I'm so sorry I cut you off.
I thought that you were just telling us that you got lost in the middle of the day.
Your story is over.
No, no, go.
No, go.
I'm sorry.
I thought your boring story was over.
Please go.
No, no, I am sorry.
Finish.
No, no, no.
It's done.
I'm in Japan.
I feel too much shame now.
I need to see a bow.
Please stop.
There's nothing.
Stop.
What's going on?
No, you have to forgive him.
You have to forgive him.
What was that?
Yamate kudasai.
That's how you say it.
Finish the story.
You have to finish the story.
He's not going to stop bowing.
You have to finish the story.
Yeah, and you have to scream, Yamate.
Yamate.
Stop.
No, I'm not.
Finish the story.
There's no finish the story.
Scara Kun.
Please.
Scara-sama.
Scara-sama.
I got lost for a little bit, and that's it.
That's the end of the story.
I get lost all the time in Japan, in Tokyo, even.
It's fun.
It's fun, but like yesterday, I started to get pissed off.
I was so lost.
It was fun for the first 45 minutes.
Then I was like, where the fuck is the door?
Well, you weren't lost anywhere.
Cool.
You were lost in a mall.
I know.
While we were upstairs, having the time of our lives at the aquarium.
I was going in circles.
Which he could have partook in.
I was going in circles.
I was like, God damn it, that's the same fucking family, Mart.
I keep passing the same damn one.
And now we're going in circles in conversation.
So we're going to end right there, ladies and gentlemen.
And if you want to join us for the second half of this conversation, make sure you sign for the paywall.
We have had two incredible guests, though, that I want to take.
Patreon.com/slash fear end.
We want to see the episode.
Yes, and we'd like to shout our guests out.
Yes, they have been fantastic.
Two of our greatest guests ever.
And I'm so happy that we have to.
I assess that every time.
Don't believe me.
No, no, no.
This is, I mean this.
He does.
Two of my favorite guests ever in probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.
So you caught me at a good time.
And I really appreciate you right now.
And so, so, guys, do you have anything you want to shout out before we move on?
Well, you have a book in every language.
Every language.
I love that you bring it everywhere.
Yeah.
Oh, look at this.
My Japanese book.
Amazing.
That was back in 2020.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you, Bill.
And that's the new one in English.
Kind of same, but this Japanese one got more charts and pictures.
So if you want to see more, I guess you should get those.
There's a bookmark.
There's a bookmark.
What's in the bookmark?
There's more pictures.
Amazing.
I've seen charts.
You're skipping through them.
Yeah.
So it kind of shows the details of my experiences.
Wait, I want to see.
Wait, I want to see.
I want to see.
Oh, Scara, what do you got going on?
Honestly, I feel like I'm at the point where I'm just kind of chilling.
I guess.
Where can people find a new scar?
I don't care about myself.
You can find the OTV online.
And I guess you can.
Where can people find a new Scara?
Twitch.tv/slash Hasanabi.
There is one thing I'd like to say before we go on.
What?
I've told you this many times, Scara.
Yeah.
You're the first streamer I watched.
He always tells me this.
Wait, really?
First streamer?
Because I was a big league head.
I got really bad poison ivy.
I've told you this.
And I was bedridden for like two weeks because it was poison sumac and it was all my dick.
I had poisoned sumac on my dick.
And I was like, I don't know.
Did you fuck a tree?
No, my aunt's septic tank got buried in a sand dune and I had to dig it out.
And all I was wearing was like little gym shorts.
And I was like pulling weeds as I was doing this.
And I was your dick hanging out of your shorts?
No, I was like adjusting myself because I was sweating.
And I got poisoned.
So anyway, I was.
This is when I picked up League.
And when I was trying to learn how to play League, what a wonderful time.
Yeah, terrible.
It's the perfect mental state to pick up League.
Nerd Stories00:01:20
Yeah, no, it was ideal.
But I got my ass kicked in a rank match.
And I was like, I got to watch someone good at this.
Wow.
First streamer.
So to have you on my podcast is so surreal and kind of cool for me.
It's been a pleasure.
And I will still be talking for the next hour, I guess.
Yeah.
We didn't even tell people.
We just surprised them.
We're like, oh, yeah, by the way, another hour of the puppy.
Yeah, it's going to be juicier, right?
It's going to be more.
We can talk about that.
We'll see you on the Patreon, patreon.com/slash fearham.
Peace.
Yep.
Please.
No, listen, I'm going to tell you why I'm a purist.
And this is real shit.
Anime and manga, when I started consuming it, is a nerd era where if you were a nerd, if you were into anime, if you were into manga, New York City and New Jersey, you got the ever-loving shit kick.
If I showed up to school, you know what I got beat up for?
You remember Chow Cho Bits?
Oh, well, you talk about Chopics like that's like a morning looking.
Yeah, the little like robot girl, basically.
Yeah.
I was reading that in like the sixth grade, and I got the shit kicking.
Okay, you kind of deserve it.
I mean, the content you're reading, manga, the kids.
So I come from an era when like being a nerd, you had to be passionate to be outwardly.
