Comments

bobbyD

Jackson has such a hate boner for America

I have often said that Japan is a paradise to everyone that asks me about my trip. I always say if they were not confined to that island then they would rule the world and I would be perfectly ok with that. A beautiful and disciplined culture full of good people. The US is garbage in comparison

DeathClaw13

That outro theme goes hard boys

Lou Sassle

The escalator rule is definitely practiced in the States as well.

*Andrew describing how lonely it is in Tokyo* Me: damn that’s already how I feel

Cyber Snake

they have a round one in california. i went there for a friends birthday and it was really cool

yonko_destructible

One thing that really emphasised Andrew’s point of loneliness for me is that I spent three weeks in Japan and didn’t learn a single persons name, like at all. Not really a massive deal but it kinda illustrates the point idk

Not Spider-Man

I came back after a month trip and i promise you hes underselling Japan. I visited 6-7 cities and im going back. Charlie hasnt travelled overseas to experience a different scene

Sam Abdallah

Disney Sea in Tokyo was fucking nuts it was so impressive and there was almost no lines

POISON_TOAST

I'm In japan right now from Canada and ya there is alot of french people here it's weird

POISON_TOAST

The escalator thing exists in America for sure, I’m in NYC it’s commonplace

Cole Miller

Round 1 exist in America too

Kasper Moreira

I just got back from Japan in March and I went for 3 weeks and that was perfect with so much to do you can go a while

Anthony Theofilaktos

I thought Chinese middle class was currently being destroyed?

DaleyTactics

No Jackson DM me

Jimmy111

tbf everyone does that. Plenty of Japanese people have a rose tinted view of Western cities too after a short vacation

I was in Japan for 10 days at the end of February, absolutely amazing country wish I could have gone longer. Bathhouses are god tier and he’s right the fashion is great! You can tell everyone takes pride in themselfs and the country. Beautiful place I wish I could have made it to harijuku but I didn’t have time!!!

Jaraxu

To be fair, Charlie seems to be working on a lot of projects lately so maybe doesn’t have time to. And then Kaya is married so it could be he’s going on these travel trips with his wife. I do agree though, it would be nice to have them meet up for a special event or something.

This episode reminded me how good the Podcast can be when the boys have actual stories to talk about.

Recently got back from Japan had a very similar experience to Andrew I’ve travelled to 15 counties and Japan is now my favourite.

Cronus maximus

yeah i hate how american and ignorant he is, his 11 day trip is used as a summary for the whole country when he went to 3 places there.

I gotta crush andrew’s image of Japan a little. There ARE very extremely crowded trains in Japan/tokyo. But generally only during rush hour or if there’s a big festival or event. And only in the direction towards people going to work/the events. Obviously if you’re going the other way it’ll be fine. Some of the trains I used to ride to work were so crowded I couldn’t fully inflate my lungs. Once my feet weren’t even touching the floor, I was just being held up by the sheer force of the people crushing me. The trains don’t come every 30 seconds. More like 3-6 minutes later during the peak hours. But it’s not as easy as “just taking the next train” maybe you’re timing it to get to work 15 minutes early, but if you miss one train maybe the next one is a local, not an express, so it’ll be much slower. So you take the local or you wait for the next express and you lost like 6 minutes. Then maybe you have to transfer and you have to take a much later transfer train because you miss the one you usually take and then maybe you lost another 6 minutes and now you’re almost late to work. Unless you’re planning to be like 30+ minutes early to work every day it’s kind of a time pinch to “just take the next train” especially if you need a specific train (either a local, express, semi express, etc) so you might have to wait for a couple of trains later. Also the escalator thing is on really in the Tokyo (maybe Kanto?) area, and then the opposite around Osaka like you said. In Kyushu where I live now it is a free for all and people stand on either side, or stand two people beside each other so nobody can pass them. There’s no rule about standing on a certain side or walking on a certain side. And walking in general on the escalators is very rare in Kyushu. Also there is plenty of countryside in Japan where it’s just nothing. And just fields or whatever. There definitely isn’t buildings and stuff EVERYWHERE

I’m going to gork your toes Jackson

Alex Bryda

Harajuku is the only place in japan that I saw trash on the ground. thats also where the yakuza games take place

LordLeo19

When I went to Japan I didnt step into a car for 3 weeks and it was so odd to my american brain. it was fucking wonderful. the longest amount of time in my life id never been in a car

LordLeo19

Why don’t all the boys meet up again , or at least Charlie, Andrew, and Kaya now that they’re all in America. It’s as if they’re not friends outside of the podcast anymore 😂. I constantly hear about Kaya traveling but never to Florida

Jeff Riffey

Bro idk why but episodes where Andrew just tells his tales are always like 10/10s

Jacob G

Amtrak is great, don’t listen to Charlie. Cheap and convenient

Mack Ryan

Solid old reference

Frankie

Hey guys! Just to answer the question about steller blade real quick, the reason why it's happening is because apparently sony had edited the outfits without the concent of the developers. Personally don't have a problem with it but the devs/director are absolutely pissed

Chris

Thought you guys dipped

Mack Ryan

Love you Jack Jack

Presto
