00:00:05 John Daub: We're live. Hey, everybody, I'm with this guy who's doing something else.

00:00:10 Peter von Gomm: Mints.

00:00:12 John Daub: Need the mints for the ride that we're going on now. Now, this is a Ferris wheel. This is actually a really nice Ferris wheel that I haven't—I've never ridden this Ferris wheel here at Tokyo Dome, but it's something that you always see when you're in this area of the city because it's kind of high. Don't ask me how high. Wait, maybe we should ask how high this is. Let me see. We can ask it. We'll ask the lady here how high this is. But the Ferris wheel is kind of unique because it gives you the experience or the chance to—what?

00:00:39 Peter von Gomm: Sing karaoke?

00:00:41 John Daub: Sing karaoke is what the man said. I could use a mint.

00:00:47 Peter von Gomm: That was not a question. That was a—

00:00:50 John Daub: The mint's more for him. So you don't have to smell my stinky breath inside of the—

00:00:54 Peter von Gomm: I'm gonna put one in each nostril.

00:00:58 John Daub: Well, we're gonna try this karaoke Ferris wheel and see how it goes. You can see it behind—behind the Ferris wheel is Thunder Dolphin, which is one of the fastest jet coasters or roller coasters in Japan, believe it or not. Did you know that?

00:01:11 Peter von Gomm: I didn't know that.

00:01:12 John Daub: You didn't know that. I'm just full of useless, useful information. Now this, the Thunder Dolphin, you can see here. It goes through a building. Do you see that? Well, you don't see it yet, but it's going to be coming any minute now. Any second. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Oh, there it is. How did I do that? That's nice. Now, this Ferris wheel set me back 820 yen each. Each. I treated this man.

00:01:48 Peter von Gomm: I don't know why I meant that much.

00:01:50 John Daub: You mean 820 yen to me, brother. And this is—that's good to know. But we're gonna ride this. Going to ride this thing. But first we have to—we have to make our way. Wait, are they going to take our picture?

00:02:03 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, they charge a thousand yen at the end.

00:02:05 John Daub: I don't want that. So you can either ride the ride the gondola without the karaoke, or you can ride it with it. And we picked the karaoke special, so I guess we got to wait a little bit longer. But it's kind of neat that they give you the option to get a picture. You get an option to get a picture, they'll take the picture before you get on. And then when you go off, you can decide whether or not you want to keep that memory. Meaning that you have to pay a thousand yen for that memory, which isn't that much. It might be worth it, right? Right. Oh, this one right there. Okay. Look how nice that is. That could be you and your lovely other in a beautiful pink frame. And check that out. I know in the center of it is the Ferris wheel of—of love. The karaoke Ferris wheel. Look at that. Which begs the question—we doing it? Why didn't I take my wife?

00:03:03 Peter von Gomm: Because she was busy.

00:03:05 John Daub: It's true. She's—she is busy. She's working. And where's Leo?

00:03:09 Peter von Gomm: Super chat.

00:03:10 John Daub: Where's Joji?

00:03:11 Peter von Gomm: Joji is playing with his friend at home. Yeah, Joji and I did a live stream last night—

00:03:18 John Daub: Okay.

00:03:19 Peter von Gomm: At Yasukuni Shrine.

00:03:21 John Daub: Oh, I saw that. Yeah, 30,000 lanterns. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. We're next. We're next to next. Next to next. That's right. Peter does have his own YouTube channel, which after eight months, finally got monetized. So now you can check it out and support the dude with with super chats. By the way, I saw Avery Lopez Baines once again. How you doing, brother from the Philippines? I love Japanese karaoke. I don't know, Peter. Can you do Japanese karaoke? No, no, no. Peter cannot do Japanese karaoke. I can't either. Wait, so what does that mean?

00:04:02 Peter von Gomm: That means we bring our own karaoke gear.

00:04:05 John Daub: That's right. You have a—you have a surprise.

00:04:07 Peter von Gomm: I got a surprise.

00:04:08 John Daub: You got a surprise. I also got a surprise.

00:04:10 Peter von Gomm: You do? Oh, actually, we both have that.

00:04:13 John Daub: See, I got clear Coke.

00:04:16 Peter von Gomm: No, no, no.

00:04:16 John Daub: Poochie size.

00:04:17 Peter von Gomm: We got clear Coke.

00:04:19 John Daub: We got clear Coke. Gucci size. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. That's really creepy. That's wrong. This is clear Coke. And if you want to see an unboxing that I did with my wife, or an unbottling, or should we say where I mix this with regular coke to make a Frankenstein cocktail, just click the link here, and we'll take you to a really interesting take on clear Coke. Have you had this before? Well, neither do I, but this is just too weird not to try it, right.

00:04:51 Peter von Gomm: Is the flavor any different than the browns?

00:04:53 John Daub: That's what you're gonna find out. It's so exciting. I know. Do you want to do it now to try it now? No, no, we should—because we're gonna be so busy in the wheel. Oh, we got Jason here pitching Guns N' Roses. What do you think? No, that was really quick. Now, are you gonna open it? Okay, this is Peter's—Peter's unboxing.

00:05:22 Peter von Gomm: Nice. Nice head on it.

00:05:24 John Daub: All right, take it down.

00:05:28 Peter von Gomm: Watch it.

00:05:33 John Daub: You have to make—ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:37 Peter von Gomm: Wait a minute.

00:05:37 John Daub: It's diet.

00:05:38 Peter von Gomm: Is it diet?

00:05:39 John Daub: No. Oh, wait, it's got zero calories.

00:05:41 Peter von Gomm: But that's Aquarius's diet.

00:05:43 John Daub: Wait, hold on a second. Are you gonna get in trouble for this? Because you're the voice of Pepsi in Japan, right? You're kind of the—oh, I shouldn't have said that. You did a Pepsi Next commercial. I remember, but you're allowed to. Sorry.

00:05:58 Peter von Gomm: Actually, I've got a new one, which is—it is a sports drink.

00:06:04 John Daub: Oh, okay. How do we get the chance to see this in—in countries outside of the—out of Japan. Oh, you can see it on your channel to the world worldwide. So what do you—what do you say in it? Is it just, like, one word, like "this drink?"

00:06:18 Peter von Gomm: No, no, no. This new one is for, you know, Aquarius.

00:06:23 John Daub: Oh, yeah, I know that's—Aquarius is the Gatorade of Japan. In fact, it's in that vending machine right there on the top next to the—Coca-Cola. No, it is—it's—oh, you—oh, you're—you did one for Sweat. No, that's Aquarius right there in the Coca-Cola machine in the middle. My eyes are better than yours, brother.

00:06:53 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, it's in Japanese. It's a Japanese commercial. And I say—

00:06:57 John Daub: Oh, Beauty and the Beast. So these are our choices. Are we never gonna get back together? Taylor Swift, Aerosmith.

00:07:05 Peter von Gomm: "Shape of You," Ed Sheeran. "Last Christmas," Wham. "Let It Be" by the Beatles.

00:07:11 John Daub: Okay, this is gonna get demonetized. How come she gave us only the foreign music?

00:07:17 Peter von Gomm: I don't know. Because we're foreigners.

00:07:19 John Daub: Well, I want the—ones I can't sing.

00:07:21 Peter von Gomm: Here's—

00:07:22 John Daub: Oh, there's more.

00:07:23 Peter von Gomm: These are all J-Poppers.

00:07:25 John Daub: Can you celebrate? Well, yes, I can. SMAP. "Stay Still."

00:07:28 Peter von Gomm: A monkey.

00:07:29 John Daub: There you go. It's interesting. "Let it go." Do they have "Let It Go"? "Let It Be." Do you mean—all right.

00:07:37 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, the majority is Japanese.

00:07:39 John Daub: They have none of my—my Korean favorites either.

00:07:42 Peter von Gomm: Choo Choo Train.

00:07:45 John Daub: That's something by Exile. Never heard of them.

00:07:48 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So this is—this is—

00:07:50 John Daub: What do you want to sing?

00:07:51 Peter von Gomm: Okay, well, none of these.

00:07:53 John Daub: Wait, can we pick it in there or—they make us—they make us sing it? No, they like, put it—they put a weapon whip to you and then say, "Sing it." Or these are your choices.

00:08:03 Peter von Gomm: You have to stay on here forever.

00:08:04 John Daub: Oh, geez, you make it sound so much fun.

00:08:08 Peter von Gomm: These things are air conditioned, too.

00:08:12 John Daub: Oh, you get to take a picture. All right, this is our picture time. All right, thank you. All right, this is our smile. Okay, so just—for the record, this is our smile. Wait, we get to see this photo at the end of this. So stay tuned till the end of this. And you get to see the space that we just did. This is—this is the options that you have here in the Ferris wheel. This is the karaoke Ferris wheel or the normal one. We're going karaoke.

00:08:49 Peter von Gomm: I think we're up, homie.

00:08:50 John Daub: Oh, this is us. Next one. Oh, look, they got little TVs in—ah, this is gonna be fun. So you practice for this, right? You did. You practice. I didn't. I didn't. Last time I sang karaoke, I don't—I blacked out because really hard night out. It's a hard night out. Working like a run.

00:09:27 Peter von Gomm: I did sing a couple times the song that I'm gonna sing. If we can get enough likes.

00:09:32 John Daub: Yeah.

00:09:32 Peter von Gomm: In—

00:09:35 John Daub: That's right. Yeah. If—if we get enough likes, Peter will—you gotta please click the like button. And Peter will reciprocate by singing something off the list. But I don't know—

00:09:46 Peter von Gomm: It's busking inside a—an enclosed Ferris wheel box.

00:09:50 John Daub: Yeah.

00:09:51 Peter von Gomm: That's air conditioned.

00:09:53 John Daub: Avery says karaoke. Avery says no Disney music. Or as we call it in Japan, depop. Do you know depop for Disney pop? Yeah, it's a whole genre of music here. Depop. J-Pop. K-Pop for Korean pop. J-Pop for Japanese pop. D-Pop for—That's right. I think just saying Disney. Oh, this is it. Okay. This is it. Oh, my gosh. Look, it says karaoke on the thing. Look at that. Take it out. Oh, get it, get it, get it, get it. Why are you sitting that way? I don't go reverse. Why are you sitting this way?

00:10:25 Peter von Gomm: You knew.

00:10:27 John Daub: Oh, it's like sitting on the train backwards. You know, it never—it never goes well. All right, take off the—

00:10:32 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:10:33 John Daub: Take off our bags. All right. Show us our surprise. Oh, you got the mic. This is awesome, Ladies and gentlemen.

00:10:43 Peter von Gomm: Dude, it blew my ears out.

00:10:46 John Daub: Yeah, well, these aren't soundproof.

00:10:48 Peter von Gomm: These boxes don't have duct tape, unfortunately, to put over your coochie. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Big—We are at Tokyo Dome City in the magnificent city of Tokyo. This is—yes, the Big O.

00:11:10 John Daub: Yes.

00:11:12 Peter von Gomm: Anybody have any questions before we get started.

00:11:14 John Daub: Yeah. What—what are we going to sing? Your music or are we going to sing their music? 'Cause we—we brought our own music. Is that the surprise? Tell them the surprise.

00:11:24 Peter von Gomm: That's the surprise.

00:11:26 John Daub: Peter brought our own music.

00:11:28 Peter von Gomm: Let's—here. Set this thing up. Don't forget it.

00:11:32 John Daub: Well, I think that—is this not—

00:11:33 Peter von Gomm: Oh, that might work. It'll work.

00:11:34 John Daub: Yeah. Just leave this here. Peter brought this thing to stick on the window.

00:11:38 Peter von Gomm: It's stuck now. All right, all right—

00:11:45 John Daub: Wait. So this takes about 10 minutes to go around. 15?

00:11:53 Peter von Gomm: All right.

00:11:54 John Daub: All right. Wow, we're really getting some elevation here.

00:11:57 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, so we are facing this way—is facing west. Back this way, there's Tokyo Dome right here.

00:12:04 John Daub: All right, show it to us, sir.

00:12:05 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Tokyo Dome is right over here.

00:12:07 John Daub: All right, so get down in here on our right—

00:12:09 Peter von Gomm: Tokyo Dome. Lots of rock concerts.

00:12:16 John Daub: If you look over here to this side of the box, you will see lots of ugly, drab buildings.

00:12:23 John Daub: And I see a lady who is getting ready for bed. No, that's not—that can't be true. All right. Sorry. Sorry, lady. Now there's nobody there. Really? Okay. All right. The karaoke machine is very basic. You can pick their songs, but because we will get copyright not nailed, Peter brought his own music. And because these are the only songs that he can actually sing. So down there, you can see the Tokyo Dome. This is the Tokyo Dome Hotel. This has a beautiful view on the top and some really good restaurants. But down there are some amusement park rides, including this one, which is like the pirate boat that goes up and down and makes you throw up after eating a big lunch. Then there's the parachute ride on the left, which is—which is probably the scariest of them all. Unless you're here with Peter and you're waiting for a really—oh, you—oh, look at this. What is this? What is this? No, what are you doing?

00:13:14 Peter von Gomm: We're gonna start. We're not gonna start it yet. I'm not gonna start it yet.

00:13:16 John Daub: Oh, please do, sir.

00:13:18 Peter von Gomm: You want me to?

00:13:19 John Daub: Well, it's up to you.

00:13:19 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So we need you to put one microphone on the speaker.

00:13:23 John Daub: Okay.

00:13:24 Peter von Gomm: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait—

00:13:27 John Daub: We're doing our own cutout? Okay. All right.

00:13:33 Peter von Gomm: Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, Johnny, hold my hand, hold his hand.

00:13:55 John Daub: In other words—

00:13:57 Peter von Gomm: In other words, darling, kiss to me. Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more. You are all I want, all I worship and I know. In other words, in other words, please be true.

00:14:28 John Daub: In other words, in other words—

00:14:30 Peter von Gomm: Johnny, I love you.

00:14:32 John Daub: I love you too.

00:14:38 Peter von Gomm: Ladies and gentlemen, as we make our way to the top of the Big O—PBG and JD are really happy to have you along.

00:14:48 John Daub: We're happy to have you along in this—air conditioned—air conditioned—

00:14:53 Peter von Gomm: It's like—it's like a Volkswagen Bug, only cooler and higher. Yeah, we come back around here. All right, here we go. Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more. You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.

00:15:25 John Daub: In other words, in other words. In other words, in other words, in other words, in other words—my love you. That's it, baby. That's it. That's it. Oh, that's awesome.

00:15:57 Peter von Gomm: I got you, right.

00:15:58 John Daub: All right, everybody, an Internet applause. Everybody hit that like button for Peter. Wow, look at you. All right. Guide us. Guide us, sir. Peter, guide us.

00:16:10 Peter von Gomm: We are making our way to the top now. We are the first half of the circumference of the Ferris wheel. Does that make sense?

00:16:17 John Daub: The circumference? Yes, sir.

00:16:19 Peter von Gomm: So we're getting up to the top, the peak. I don't know how many meters we are up, but it's pretty high.

00:16:24 John Daub: It is quite high. Down there is the Tokyo Dome. You can see—

00:16:28 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Tokyo Dome Hotel is right over here.

00:16:30 John Daub: That's right. I gave everybody the layout, but now that we're higher, it sounds like we're actually on the stage at some sort of event. Peter, I'm seeing an event over here on this side. You finally get a view of the Tokyo Skytree right there. It's beautiful. Beautiful. Can you see where Tokyo Tower is? It's hard. I think it might be behind—it's back over here. What would be really cool is if we saw the roller coaster go right through the building right now. Yes. Oh, that's awesome.

00:17:00 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Okay, we get towards the top here.

00:17:02 John Daub: All right. This is the—pig. Oh, look, they're waving at us, dudes. Wave, dudes. Yeah, baby.

00:17:10 Peter von Gomm: Fly me to the moon.

00:17:13 John Daub: Do it. All right. Okay, that's enough of that. This is pretty—this is still pretty cool. These, these—this cost 820 yen. It's 15 minutes of unfettered entertainment for you yourself and—and it's good to bring a friend with you. Peter—

00:17:30 Peter von Gomm: Who would that be?

00:17:31 John Daub: Yeah, well, clear Coca-Cola. But it's really wonderful to be out here on the top. And I want to thank all of the little people down there at the intersection. I want to thank the little people for making this possible. All the little people. Thank you. We will see you in about seven and a half minutes. Sorry.

00:17:50 Peter von Gomm: Sorry to interrupt on you, but we're at the very top right now. We're just going back down.

00:17:54 John Daub: 3, 2, 1. Happy top of—embarrassment. Now we get to—with the couple. They got her back to us. I wonder if they're gonna make out. They're gonna kiss. They would do it right now. Yeah, do it, do it, do it, do it. You're on the top. Look over here at the party booth. Look. Look over here to the party booth. Look at the party booth. Now I get them laughing at us. They're laughing at us. Okay, sorry. I got the love. At least they're smiling. They're smiling. Okay. They're smiling. Right behind us is the Bunkyo, the Bunkyo Ward Building. And you can see on it, there's a observation deck which is one of the top five observation decks in the city of Tokyo. Did you know that? It's free, right, right. That right there has an awesome—it's also as good as this one. I'm surprised this doesn't count as an observation deck because it's not free. Maybe, but maybe—

00:18:45 Peter von Gomm: Okay, should we really embarrass ourselves?

00:18:47 John Daub: No, we should not embarrass ourselves and do—no, no, no, no, no. I don't think that that would be—I don't think that'd be a good idea.

00:18:54 Peter von Gomm: Okay, we got Taylor Swift, Ariana—Ariana Grande, and John Legend.

00:19:00 John Daub: I don't know any of these people.

00:19:01 Peter von Gomm: You know Ariana Grande.

00:19:03 John Daub: I'm just being—

00:19:06 Peter von Gomm: Okay.

00:19:08 John Daub: Oh, sorry.

00:19:09 Peter von Gomm: Ariana Grande, not Ariela.

00:19:11 John Daub: Take a thumbnail real quick. Okay, hold on a second, guys. Hey, everybody, we're back. We're at the final third of this ride here. We just wanted to say how much—how thankful we are. You know, when you get to the top of anything in your profession and then you sort of start to see the—the way to the bottom, it's just not as much fun without bringing the people who helped—who helped us get to the top. And that would be you guys. So—Ferris wheel, karaoke. Do you have any other songs that you want to sing? We have very little time.

00:19:44 Peter von Gomm: We could do like—

00:19:46 John Daub: We don't even need music. Just make our—okay, we lost it. We lost it.

00:20:26 Peter von Gomm: If this box isn't rocking, don't—

00:20:32 John Daub: Oh, yeah, I know. I totally messed it up. But we had it going pretty, pretty good for a little while. It was pretty close. All right.

00:20:39 Peter von Gomm: The box that we can get some coins in, we can go out on the street.

00:20:42 John Daub: We could. Yeah, wait. That's right. You do have your—we could do that. We could ask—ask the people down there for a little bit of support.

00:20:51 Peter von Gomm: Well, this is a little bit bittersweet—

00:20:52 John Daub: JD, look at the window. It's not very—

00:20:54 Peter von Gomm: A little bittersweet.

00:20:55 John Daub: It's short, isn't it?

00:20:56 Peter von Gomm: Yep. It's 15 minutes, and we're coming to the end pretty shortly here. The people at home are probably, you know—

00:21:02 John Daub: Do you have any—do you have any karaoke stories? I have one. I remember I used—I first sang—the first song I ever sang was Megadeth. "Symphony of Destruction." Left a very bad first impression with the Japanese staff I was working with because I knocked over speakers, and it's hard not to get a little bit hardcore with Symphony of Destruction. Like, the first image of me was, you know, it's very scary.

00:21:27 Peter von Gomm: The guitarist from Megadeth lives here in Tokyo.

00:21:30 John Daub: Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:31 Peter von Gomm: Have you met him?

00:21:33 John Daub: Oh, what's his name? Marty Friedman. Marty Friedman. Yeah, I met him once on an NHK shoot. He does a lot of stuff with NHK. Super, super nice guy. One of the nicest people. Just really humble, down to earth. Complete opposite to what you think he would be.

00:21:53 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:21:53 John Daub: So it's—

00:21:54 Peter von Gomm: It's a Saturday in Tokyo. It's very, very hot and humid today.

00:21:59 John Daub: Yeah.

00:22:00 Peter von Gomm: And I don't know how you're surviving with that wool cap on, dude.

00:22:03 John Daub: I—I can take it off. You want me to? It's—it is hot.

00:22:08 Peter von Gomm: You have so much hair. Why are you wearing hats?

00:22:10 John Daub: It's like—gone. I started looking like Ultraman. It's hard. You got to keep it down. Well, why do you wear a hat? Okay, never mind. I just say—all right.

00:22:25 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Why do you guys watch this guy's channel?

00:22:29 John Daub: Why? We get some problems here, don't we? All right. Looks like this is the end of the line.

00:22:36 Peter von Gomm: This is so—Uncle John, say it.

00:22:38 John Daub: Is he—so it's—it's so right down there. This is where they make us get out. But that doesn't mean that this is the end, because this is the start of something new, right? This is—you know, we end here and we start somewhere else. So this is never really the end.

00:22:54 Peter von Gomm: How many other euphemisms can we—can we find for what we want to see?

00:22:57 John Daub: I don't know, but you better make it quick, because they're gonna get us out of here in like 30 seconds. I know.

00:23:02 Peter von Gomm: Well, yeah. So thanks, guys. Thanks for joining us. And could quick plug for me—PBG—

00:23:09 John Daub: All right.

00:23:09 Peter von Gomm: Please check out my channel. Peter Von Gong.

00:23:12 John Daub: Don't do it. If I say that, that means they're gonna go—don't do it.

00:23:17 Peter von Gomm: Tell them how— what a lousy entertainer I am and what my—how sucky my channel is.

00:23:22 John Daub: If you want to waste your time, go over to his channel and completely—yeah. And then you'll be right back here where you started. I think.

00:23:28 Peter von Gomm: Only click—these things—

00:23:30 John Daub: Yeah. Only click the thumbs down. We're just kidding. Just kidding. People are gonna do it—

00:23:34 Peter von Gomm: It—

00:23:34 John Daub: You don't know. It's like I told people to do something. They would do it. I get in trouble. Don't click the thumbs down.

00:23:39 Peter von Gomm: We're going to barricade ourselves in here, dude. We are not—

00:23:41 John Daub: They are—

00:23:42 Peter von Gomm: Open this door.

00:23:43 John Daub: Can they—

00:23:43 Peter von Gomm: Can you not let them open this up? We're going back around.

00:23:46 John Daub: Carry the speaker with me.

00:23:47 Peter von Gomm: We're going to go back around one more time.

00:23:48 John Daub: I don't think we can do that.

00:23:50 Peter von Gomm: Knock them on the head with this microphone.

00:23:52 John Daub: You look—they gave us complimentary fans. You get to take that with us. No, dude, you're already cool. You don't need the fan for—yeah, I do.

00:24:02 Peter von Gomm: Back to the most important message of this entire stream, which would be go—

00:24:05 John Daub: To my channel and subscribe. Make sure you subscribe to the channel. It's growing.

00:24:09 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. All right.

00:24:11 John Daub: All right.

00:24:16 John Daub: Oh, I didn't want to go. I don't want to go. Bye, Mom.

00:24:27 Peter von Gomm: They're so mean to us.

00:24:28 John Daub: I know. They are. Well, here's your speaker. Thank you. You're very welcome. That was nice that you brought your own music. That was smart. Smart man. Hey, Jim's in the house. How you doing, Jim? It's kind of neat. Although that was that lovely couple. Okay. Hey, there's our picture. We've changed. Oh, wow.

00:24:50 Peter von Gomm: You look like hell, dude. Oh, here it is.

00:24:52 John Daub: Oh, okay. Hi. Wow. Of it. No. Do you want it as a keepsake? Is it good?

00:25:02 Peter von Gomm: No, no, it's good, actually. It's good. It's good.

00:25:06 John Daub: Okay, let's see. Actually, I—

00:25:11 Peter von Gomm: Thank you, sweetie.

00:25:13 John Daub: I—I don't—I don't have any—

00:25:14 Peter von Gomm: You don't have a thousand yen?

00:25:16 John Daub: No, I'll get it. I'll get it. I—I should actually—I should—all right, so Peter's going to buy it. I don't know. He's crazy.

00:25:24 Peter von Gomm: And don't believe for a second that this is not the first time John hasn't had any money, and I've had to pay.

00:25:31 John Daub: Hey, who got you the clear—Coca-Cola? That's something. They wouldn't listen. They wouldn't let me film the picture. I have to buy it to film it. Are you getting a receipt? Are you gonna write it off?

00:25:47 Peter von Gomm: Huh?

00:25:48 John Daub: Okay, so there you go. I couldn't write—I didn't write off your ticket, dude. I should. Maybe I should have. Oh, he's getting an official receipt for this. You know, he's a big man. He's the boss. I'm just—I'm just here for the ride. All right, well, I hope you enjoyed this. Oh, come back here, guys. I hope you enjoyed this. I'm glad that you—you joined us for this really fun ride. While Peter gets that, I'm gonna run away and we'll show you what this picture looks like. If it's worth 10 bucks. I don't know. They really shake you down on these amusement park stuff. But the Tokyo Dome is quite famous. It has a lot of attractions, and it's good for families. I think it's pretty good for wanting to do something a little bit different. You don't have to go to Fuji Q Highland. This roller coaster here called Thunder Dolphin is one of the fastest in the world. I think it was—was—it was in the top 10 or 20 or something, rank wise. Are we going to show us or you going to charge me to get your—

00:26:56 Peter von Gomm: How many likes we got on this video?

00:26:57 John Daub: 157 likes. Not enough.

00:27:00 Peter von Gomm: We need three more, and then we'll show them the picture.

00:27:02 John Daub: You're going to wait for three likes? Yeah. All right. We need to get three likes before Peter will reciprocate. All right. That took like, two seconds. Seconds. Oh, come on. There's like 300 some people watching. Like it—

00:27:15 Peter von Gomm: Make it happen.

00:27:15 John Daub: Like it. Make it happen. This is—the community can make this happen.

00:27:20 Peter von Gomm: We have all day, but we don't want to wait all day.

00:27:22 John Daub: All right, we got the 200. Okay. If you get the 300, Peter might do something else.

00:27:28 Peter von Gomm: So how's the lighting here?

00:27:30 John Daub: Okay. Oh, man. Actually, that's pretty good. Right? I see. I like how they made me look—

00:27:35 Peter von Gomm: Younger and I look even cooler.

00:27:38 John Daub: Is that possible? Oh, wow.

00:27:40 Peter von Gomm: Isn't that a nice shot?

00:27:41 John Daub: That's not bad at all. Oh, look, they put the date there. It's like Valentine's Day, like four months later. Six months, five months later. Never forget this as long as I live. Oh, man. And that was a wonderful song you sang today. High five from the community. It's not for me. All right, good.

00:28:01 Peter von Gomm: You can get a really nicely professionally shot picture—

00:28:05 John Daub: Keepsake. Keepsake. Or—or you could go to Instagram and just get a—pick a copy of a copy. Are you gonna put this on your Instagram?

00:28:13 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, why not?

00:28:14 John Daub: All right. Is that okay? Yeah, sure. So if you want to see this in—in high definition, because these live streams never really are, you can see it on Peter's Instagram. Oh, it's a message card. You're gonna write me a message and send this to me?

00:28:28 Peter von Gomm: I'll just tell it to you in person.

00:28:29 John Daub: Okay.

00:28:30 Peter von Gomm: Johnny, you're the greatest.

00:28:31 John Daub: Oh, I can't even tell if you're sincere because you're wearing shades.

00:28:36 Peter von Gomm: Johnny—

00:28:39 John Daub: No. No. I can't do that. No. Says he wants us in one of the Patreon postcards. I—I send out postcards to all the supporters on Patreon once a month that are in the postcard club and—yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

00:28:53 Peter von Gomm: Thousand yen.

00:28:53 John Daub: You can have—

00:28:54 Peter von Gomm: Have it.

00:28:54 John Daub: Oh, really?

00:28:55 Peter von Gomm: Thousand yen.

00:28:56 John Daub: Oh. Oh, look at this. Now he's—he's shaking me down. I might pay it too, actually. I—yeah. But this place, Tokyo Dome, I like to come here and unwind. It's—it's sort of neat because it really is a diversion from what the rest of the city is like, because this actually is an amusement park and this is—like, so close to—it's. Tokyo Dome is literally in the center of the city. It really is. Oh, no. But the stage always has, like, idol groups and—and they say that you can't film them, so they—they're really strict. I like that. I do. I've ridden the Thunder Dolphin like—like a hundred times. But let me tell you something, everybody. You can get discounted tickets for all this on, like, Yahoo Japan and Yahoo Auction. People get these tickets as presents, and then they sell it at—at 30, at 60 off. So you could ride this Thunder Dolphin for, like, 300 yen. It's like three bucks. Yeah.

00:29:55 Peter von Gomm: Really good restaurants here. A couple of them.

00:29:57 John Daub: Yeah. Bubba Gum Shrimp. They got Bubba Gum Shrimp—

00:29:59 Peter von Gomm: Really good restaurant.

00:30:00 John Daub: What? Bubblegum shrimp's not a good restaurant?

00:30:02 Peter von Gomm: No, but you and I—

00:30:03 John Daub: What are you smoking?

00:30:05 Peter von Gomm: Remember?

00:30:05 John Daub: What?

00:30:06 Peter von Gomm: Tetsu.

00:30:07 John Daub: Tetsu. Yeah. I'll put a link up here. You can see us devour—that was after we found your underwear, right? We went underwear shopping for this man. He's very selective with what he wears. There's Thunder Dolphin in the entrance. This is one of the world's greatest roller coasters. These guys are gonna go for instant death. They're not screaming because they're on the way up, but they will be screaming on the way down. Okay. All right. I'm gonna—we're gonna show you guys what it's like to go down as they—on a roller coaster. I think that they—they've—ouch. I think they—I think this isn't the first time. So you can pretty much see the entire Thunder Dolphin ride from here. All right, now they're getting up there. They're almost at the peak here. Well, I—going up is fast, too. Are you ready? 3, 2, 1. They're screaming. I know that they're screaming.

00:30:58 Peter von Gomm: Start to soil the pants.

00:31:00 John Daub: Oh—

00:31:02 Peter von Gomm: Oh, man.

00:31:03 John Daub: All right.

00:31:03 Peter von Gomm: And the side—silent screams.

00:31:05 John Daub: They are silent screams. I can't hear any of them through the building. Japan does a lot of silent screaming. They don't want to be embarrassed, so they don't scream as loud as we do out in the West. We scream a lot. Do it scream here? I heard them. I heard them. I totally heard them. Did you hear them a little bit? No. It's kind of weak. Can't blame them. Oh, man. That just went by then. That's the same one. I know. It's like—I think I timed it at—at 60 seconds. Okay. I think there's a loop de loop right now that they're going over on the other side. You can't see the loop de loop. And then they're coming in for the home stretch. And then that's it. Oh, yeah.

00:31:53 Peter von Gomm: How about the—have you reading that?

00:31:54 John Daub: Yeah. Fuji Q Highland Dodompa, right?

00:31:57 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that's—that's the world's fastest—

00:31:58 John Daub: I think—used to be—used to be. I think Cedar Point. I used to go to Ohio State University. And where did I go? Cedar Point, which is roller coaster capital of the world. Whatever the world makes Cedar Point will exceed them. Yeah, like by 20%. That's what we do in Ohio. We destroy everybody else, especially in, like, American football. So you can get a skip pass and go faster. And you get to get into the Thunder Dolphin without waiting for another 520 yen. So it's a thousand yen. So for $15 you can ride without waiting in line. I don't actually—it's not weak for the—I know, I know. You don't really wait that much. And on the week—but the thing is, on the weekdays, sometimes they don't even—the rides aren't even operating on the weekdays.

00:32:44 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:32:46 John Daub: Let's see. How much is it now? They used to have it where you had to buy tickets—tickets for this—all downstairs by the restaurants. And now they've—they've just made it in front of yet—it's 1,030 yen for to ride this once and an extra $5 for a skip pass. If you know, like your dad can't wait, she goes, "Oh, just do it." You have to get—you have to do it. And you get a one day passport for—what is that? That's cheap. Wait, no, wait. Oh, 3,900 yen. So about $35, which is not that cheap. You can ride this 100 times then. But actually no, no, one day pass for all the—for this, all the rides. But there's not that many rides. Yeah, they got the—

00:33:30 Peter von Gomm: They have this kind of splash thing.

00:33:33 John Daub: There's two. And the Ferris wheel. That's three—

00:33:36 Peter von Gomm: And the carousel.

00:33:37 John Daub: The carousel, yeah, that's three. Oh, oh, well—oh, oh, I'm forgetting Peter. Okay, we got this down here. All right. That's worth—that's worth 30 bucks.

00:33:47 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, yeah.

00:33:49 John Daub: Actually that's—that does look kind of fun. But adults have to stand, apparently. And only the kids get to ride. That's not fair. I know. Jeez. It's not fair. It's not fair at all.

00:34:04 Peter von Gomm: You know what? I'm parched, John. I'm parched.

00:34:07 John Daub: That's what I got you the Coke for. Yeah, but Coke is it—

00:34:10 Peter von Gomm: I need something with some—

00:34:14 John Daub: I don't speak—

00:34:16 Peter von Gomm: Like a beer.

00:34:17 John Daub: Oh, that's possible. Yeah. So did you want—are you going to live stream today? Did you want to go up and show everyone the view? Maybe that we could—I don't know.

00:34:32 Peter von Gomm: Is it open today, you think?

00:34:33 John Daub: I don't know. Oh, look, I didn't know. The merry go round—

00:34:40 Peter von Gomm: That's what I was talking about. The carousel.

00:34:41 John Daub: Oh, the carousel—

00:34:43 Peter von Gomm: It's like—it's like the Miami or what do you call it? The Honolulu Shell.

00:34:46 John Daub: Oh, right. That's where the idols sing. And did you ever see this? The idols. There's the—all the—the just filled with very strange looking guys and I don't know. Yeah, and they're always—they're all doing everything together. They knew all the songs by heart, even for—for idols that haven't broken out yet. But I guess that's good. The industry is going strong here. More power. I'd love to ride the log flume—log flume. Oh, you can get a good view of the—oh, check that out. Is that part of the rides too? Can adults do that? I think this is kids only. The bouncy thing. Oh, Joji did that adult—the thing with this is that a lot of these rides are children only. That sort of takes a lot of the—and then there's also the shopping. They have some pretty decent shopping. They have a Uniqlo Mujirushi inside of here. Inside of Tokyo Dome is actually—there's a—there's an onsen Korakuen and I've been in there a couple of times.

00:35:51 Peter von Gomm: It is open all night. You can crash out in there.

00:35:55 John Daub: That's right. There's a Starbucks pod here—

00:36:01 Peter von Gomm: I actually wouldn't mind a little—

00:36:03 John Daub: Oh, you know what? You know—yeah. You know, has good drinks in that supermarket. You can get a couple of really good beers and just is drinking out there like beers you can't find anywhere else or something like that. That might work.

00:36:12 Peter von Gomm: And sit outside.

00:36:13 John Daub: Yeah, that could work.

00:36:15 Peter von Gomm: Have a bottle. I've got a bottle opener in my bag.

00:36:16 John Daub: Okay. Oh, check out those creepy—very disgusting looking carousel—chipmunk—chipmunk animals. Look at that.

00:36:23 Peter von Gomm: Oh, thought you're talking about the carousel.

00:36:26 John Daub: All right. Thank you. Shorty. Yeah. Do you want to go down and see these guys? Yeah. All right. All right. Follow. All right. To get outside, we have to go inside. It's weird like that. So here's the end—the escalator down's over here. Peter—we gotta go down here. All right, so I gotta take you down. This is Mujirushi. And now we're going down the escalator. These escalators fit one—I can't see where Peter is. I still don't see Peter. Don't see Peter. He'll find me. Well, what a fun afternoon. It is extremely hot. I started wearing black T-shirts because the sweat is real. And I'm gonna be doing a live stream next week. So while we're waiting for Peter—I see we've gotten 150 more people joining the live stream after the fact that we done the karaoke. Where were you guys? So look, some programming notes first. Definitely check out his channel second. This Sunday—tomorrow I'm gonna be doing another live stream because I've been getting so many email messages on people asking for advice on travel—travel to Japan. Where should I go? What should I do? Some of them are Patreon supporters and I was going to do this for Patreon supporters and I probably will. I'll do one live stream for everybody and then one for Patreon supporters that are to get it as smaller groups. But I want to answer your questions and—and give you some advice for everybody who's thinking of coming to Japan or they're not sure where to go, where the best places are. Maybe a live stream like this can help you. I've done one before, but there were just too many questions. So maybe we're gonna do this once or twice a month just so everybody can get their answers—question. Because I can't type 100 emails to everybody. But I could do it in a format like this because it's the same questions and it helps everybody. The next one is I'm gonna do one on the Tokyo Olympics. A live stream about why the Tokyo Olympics is—they made a big mistake. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics. They've made one of the biggest mistakes and it seems like—and then nobody in the world realizes what the mistake they made.

00:38:57 Peter von Gomm: And I'm 2021 something.

00:39:00 John Daub: It's a big mistake. But I'm gonna—I'm gonna reveal this big mistake in a live stream this upcoming week. And I think it's going to be pretty interesting. And I bet you the Olympic Committee watches this too.

00:39:08 Peter von Gomm: You don't think that'll be a big mistake?

00:39:10 John Daub: I—I think this is a big—a very big mistake for me to make this live stream is—That's not the mistake, though. I'm talking about their mistake. Well, look, if people make mistakes—I tried to—I tried to get an answer from them. Nobody responded to me. I'm waiting for one to come down right now. They're coming down. Oh, this is so awesome, Peter. I know. Daddy, have you done this with Joji?

00:39:34 Peter von Gomm: I have not. I'm too scared.

00:39:36 John Daub: Yeah, it is scary.

00:39:38 Peter von Gomm: Should we make our way down and get a beer?

00:39:40 John Daub: Yeah, let's go do this and then we'll end this. So it's turning into a little bit of a Tokyo Dome tour. We now have about 500 people watching from—oh, wow, you guys. Half of the—half of the audience missed the Ferris wheel ride. Ah, really? I know. So the playback—do it again. But the playback's gonna be a lot of fun. I think that's the only song you had, right? Do you have other songs in your wheelhouse? Do you have other songs?

00:40:09 Peter von Gomm: Hell yeah.

00:40:10 John Daub: I don't—I've got a—I perform backup duty. That's about it.

00:40:15 Peter von Gomm: We'll do it again.

00:40:17 John Daub: Oh, man. It's just so awesome. I—I really like being here that it just looks surreal to be here at the Tokyo Dome. Not only does the Tokyo Dome look surreal, but around it to have, like, amusement rides and stuff like that, it's pretty cool. Yeah.

00:40:34 Peter von Gomm: At the end, they—they send these kids way, way, way up.

00:40:39 John Daub: They hold them down and then—and then slingshot them up. Is that what your talent?

00:40:43 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, they do.

00:40:44 John Daub: Like right there. He kind of just did that. Right there.

00:40:46 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that's the last one.

00:40:52 John Daub: Slingshot him. All right. This is pretty cool. So adult—Peter—adults can't do that. That or that guy's doing it over there. Well, he works here. He's probably in training. Slingshot him. Okay. He's asking—all right. Is this—is that it? Peter?

00:41:16 Peter von Gomm: Hang on. Can I show people your shirt?

00:41:19 John Daub: No. They know the shirt here is that you can't—

00:41:22 Peter von Gomm: It's sweat, but it's like it's taking the form of a—like a ram's head. You got the antlers.

00:41:34 John Daub: I can't control my—my—the size of my pectorals, my pecs. All right, he's not getting slingshot—I don't want—we don't want to make the kid cry.

00:41:44 Peter von Gomm: Our bandwidth—

00:41:45 John Daub: Yeah.

00:41:45 Peter von Gomm: We just burn it with beers.

00:41:47 John Daub: Wow. What do you want? I'll get it for—

00:41:53 Peter von Gomm: How many of you guys are singing that in your head right now?

00:41:55 John Daub: Well, there weren't—not only half—half the people watching were there to see it. Do you want me to go and get you? What do you want to drink? I'll go get it for you. Let's—

00:42:01 Peter von Gomm: Let's go show the selection. Okay, I'm sure—

00:42:04 John Daub: Okay. I was going to charge it—I once got my—

00:42:06 Peter von Gomm: Somebody didn't have money.

00:42:08 John Daub: No, I can—I can put it on my card. I don't want to bring the camera—and that's why—keep it low. All right.

00:42:15 Peter von Gomm: Put it in your holster.

00:42:17 John Daub: Not going to put it in my holster. Oh, look, they put the beers right at the door. That's so wrong and yet so right. Oh, look, this is new—

00:42:25 Peter von Gomm: This is not the main selection.

00:42:27 John Daub: This is new one. Always a white—I don't think they wrote that right. Always a white. Somewhat interesting—

00:42:39 Peter von Gomm: Look at that. It looks fun.

00:42:42 John Daub: Lemon sour. He's really enjoying that. Lemon sour. Oh, this one is Raiden beer. Do you know Raiden? He's a famous sumo wrestler from Tochigi, I believe. No, you don't want in on this, or do you want the—

00:42:57 Peter von Gomm: I want the good stuff. So we gotta go around.

00:42:59 John Daub: This is good stuff. This is all local craft beer—

00:43:02 Peter von Gomm: Okay.

00:43:03 John Daub: This is craft beer from—I'm gonna get this Nagahama—

00:43:06 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:43:06 John Daub: I'm gonna get this Nagahama IPA. Good ball. Yeah.

00:43:09 Peter von Gomm: Energy high ball.

00:43:12 John Daub: All right. Always a white. No—

00:43:18 Peter von Gomm: Why not?

00:43:18 John Daub: Okay. All right. Let's get—now we got to buy it. All right, just follow us, guys. This is Mujirushi music. This is—wow, you want a melon? All right, so let's try to get out of here faster because all the sweating I did. Now it's really air conditioned in here. I'm getting—I'm starting to feel really, really chilled.

00:43:55 Peter von Gomm: So this aisle down here is where they have the import beers.

00:43:59 John Daub: Right? And that—this—this beer is dedicated to Jim for passing his teaching exam. Congratulations, Jim. Yeah, we appreciate it, buddy. We're gonna have a cheers to you. He's—he's—he's a teacher now, right? Right, Jim. Now he can teach anywhere, right? It's kind of—it's kind of a big—this is—it's kind of a big deal—

00:44:23 Peter von Gomm: This is the international selection.

00:44:25 John Daub: No, these have been sitting here for ages. My dad—dad tells me never buy these beers because they've been sitting here for like six months, he says. But he's—he's a beer snob, so he only drinks these certain beers. This is local stuff. All right, let's do it. They have a good selection here. They spelled something wrong. You think they meant to do that? Captain Crow is good too. That's a Nagano beer. That's a Niigata or Nagano—oh la la. The name of the brewery is Olala. I'm sorry—oh, that's pretty good too. That's also from the same—that's HKO—

00:45:14 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:45:14 John Daub: HKO Yuzawa. Yuzawa—

00:45:16 Peter von Gomm: It's the Highlands.

00:45:18 John Daub: Yeah—

00:45:21 Peter von Gomm: Just put it there.

00:45:25 John Daub: Yeah. Someone will discover it and then I'm sure a white beer—all right. All right. Yeah. Be very quiet. All right. I can charge this—

00:45:33 Peter von Gomm: All right. Thank you.

00:45:34 John Daub: Can you hold this?

00:45:35 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I got it. Hi, guys. John's gonna buy the beers—

00:45:47 John Daub: All right—

00:45:48 Peter von Gomm: John's gonna buy the beers. I'll take it out—take us outside. Heading outside. Greetings. It's kind of hard to see what's going on here, so—

00:46:02 John Daub: Boaz game. So did you guys enjoy the—the Ferris wheel ride? Wasn't that cool? Just so awesome. Japan just does everything right. Where else would you ride a Ferris wheel with air conditioned cars and karaoke?

00:46:32 John Daub: I'm not gonna let you take a—when you get—when you get the stick, you get delusions. Dude—

00:46:35 Peter von Gomm: Just went up.

00:46:36 John Daub: Oh, did they?

00:46:37 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Give it back to me.

00:46:38 John Daub: Okay. Here you—

00:46:40 Peter von Gomm: Well, all right.

00:46:42 John Daub: What? What? No, what? Tell me, what were you talking about?

00:46:44 Peter von Gomm: Deserve the subscriber—going up.

00:46:46 John Daub: Wait, what were you talking about? Hold on. Usually it's bad stuff. I'm just saying I get to protect—protect the home front here. All right, Jim is—Jim is—Jim is detecting some tension here. No, don't deny it. It's true. Oh, wait, there's the tickets. See, you can get the tickets here at this ticket center down here, but you can also get the tickets at the ride itself. I guess you could buy different tickets. So here's—they're really creepy. Are you gonna do one of those—what was that—what was that doll that you met the other day? Eureka. You gonna do a little Rika love here? Hello, Rika. Yeah, sure. Hey, B.S. Fat Boy's here. Oh, they're going—Peter—Peter, they're leaving you. Peter, they're leaving you. Get your camera. Run them down. Chase them down. Here, give me the—give me—give me—go chase them down. Hurry. No, they're playing hard to get. I don't chase. Oh, they're leaving you.

00:47:58 Peter von Gomm: They play hard to get.

00:47:59 John Daub: I have your camera. Oh, man. They'll be back. How could they pass you up? It just feels like they saw me. They didn't see you because the glasses. Maybe—maybe you didn't see them. I don't know. All right, let's—let's go have this beer for Jim. The celebration—

00:48:17 Peter von Gomm: I'm gonna sit right here on the—

00:48:20 John Daub: That'll do. That'll do.

00:48:22 Peter von Gomm: Oh, there's one over here, too.

00:48:23 John Daub: Yeah, there's one over here. Let's do it. There's some baseball players—you'll see these kids in the Little League World Series. I think maybe—Japan always has a pretty strong team in the Little League World Series. Yeah, they always do. Team from Tokyo, Edogawa Ward, where I used to live, a very strong team. Just saying. Well, Peter's talking about right here. These are—these aren't hidden cameras. And if they are, they're gonna get a nice view of some sweaty butt cheeks—some sweaty butt cheeks. Hey, everybody. So from this moment on, you guys are gonna see a couple of other guys drinking something in the name of—in the name of our wonderful moderator—

00:49:12 Peter von Gomm: Who—

00:49:14 John Daub: I'm so happy for him, passed the test in his first try. Here you go. Flying IPA, compliments of yours truly—

00:49:21 Peter von Gomm: Thank you.

00:49:23 John Daub: And—and Jim, who gave a super chat, and this is how nice Jim is. Okay, Jim gives us a super chat to buy a beer, and we're drinking it. He's the one graduating, and he's the one graduating. And Jim—I can't wait for Jim to come to Japan. All right, hold on a second. Let's get it up. Nice—all right—

00:49:40 Peter von Gomm: This is the Echigo—Ichigo Yuzawa is very beautiful—

00:49:43 John Daub: Hold on—compiling, Jim. Here you go, brother. All right. Cheers—

00:49:48 Peter von Gomm: Ichigo Yuzawa is in Nagano right—

00:49:54 John Daub: Niigata. Niigata—

00:49:57 Peter von Gomm: Same smell—

00:49:59 John Daub: Ichigo Yuzawa is a Shinkansen stop on the Joetsu Shinkansen. Leaves from Ueno—

00:50:05 Peter von Gomm: And Tokyo Station. Yeah, it's good. This is a good one—

00:50:09 John Daub: And it's—good. This is a good one—

00:50:14 John Daub: Japan's finest microbrewery. You see it?

00:50:22 John Daub: Oh, that's backwards with this lens. All right, show it to us. Nice—

00:50:26 John Daub: Our dream is just beginning. Flying IPA—

00:50:37 Peter von Gomm: Micro beer, canned beers, bottled beers in Japan are higher alcohol content than they are in America, mostly, aren't they?

00:50:45 John Daub: Well, I—I don't know—you know, the alcohol content in the United States also is dependent on the state. I'm—I think my friends in Texas and Oklahoma were saying that if you—in Oklahoma, all the beer was 3% alcohol because they have laws that I guess people were drinking too much beer and getting drunk, but if they lower the alcohol, people just drink more beer. But it takes more time to get drunk, right? Right. More money—

00:51:08 Peter von Gomm: This is 5.5%. And you won't get a normal beer like Budweiser or any of those beers in America or even Sam Adams. They're still in the threes. I'm pretty sure—

00:51:18 John Daub: Pretty sure could be in Japan. Oh, thank you—TPiA, TPiA—one for some snacks. You want to go back and get some snack? We're going to put that on layaway, I think, but we appreciate that. We're gonna get some snacks. Actually, I owe you a couple of super chats. I—I—you were doing a live stream yesterday, Peter, and I was trying to give you a super chat for 10 minutes, and I kept on saying error—

00:51:45 Peter von Gomm: Oh, somebody else mentioned that, too.

00:51:47 John Daub: Yeah, that's weird. I was gonna give you—

00:51:49 Peter von Gomm: You don't have any money in your account?

00:51:51 John Daub: No, it's—I didn't even edit by—how did they know that? Because I didn't even edit—enter in my credit card information. But I appreciate the effort. I will—so we're gonna pay this forward, so eventually you'll get that, but you gotta just—

00:52:07 Peter von Gomm: I'm gonna show—show the good peeps—

00:52:17 John Daub: It is—it's—this is the start of Tokyo Summer and it really started to get muggy about a week ago, I'd say. Yeah, there's a—there's a period where you just can't sleep without turning on the air conditioner. And even with two fans on last night, I had to turn the air conditioning on for the first time last night—sleeping. Yeah, you used—you can sleep without the air conditioner—

00:52:41 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I put it on a timer for about an hour—

00:52:42 John Daub: Yeah—

00:52:43 Peter von Gomm: I fall asleep and then I start sweating it—

00:52:45 John Daub: You wake up. Just leave it on, dude—

00:52:48 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, so I just want to give myself a shout out—

00:52:51 John Daub: It's backwards, right? Hey, man, I'm glad you go ahead. This is your fifth plug. Sorry. Excuse me, everybody. I'm just—

00:53:01 Peter von Gomm: Was that—was that burp directed towards my shout out here or was it just an accidental eruption?

00:53:08 John Daub: I think—well, how long are you gonna hold the phone there? Jeez. Okay. All right. I've already backwards—

00:53:14 Peter von Gomm: They can't even see it because it's back—

00:53:16 John Daub: They know where to go because I'm gonna put the link in the description for there. Okay, so it's five—

00:53:20 Peter von Gomm: I get—I get a total of six plugs—

00:53:22 John Daub: Yeah, you get a total of six—six new subscribers for you—

00:53:26 Peter von Gomm: There you go. It's been a pleasure with you guys—

00:53:28 John Daub: The pleasure is all of ours to be in your presence, PBG. So what else is new with you, PBG?

00:53:37 Peter von Gomm: Well, I'm going to go—I'm sending my son to America—come—

00:53:43 John Daub: Into America next month, stay with his grandma—

00:53:47 Peter von Gomm: And then I'm gonna join him. We're gonna go to Yellowstone Park—

00:53:50 John Daub: Wow—

00:53:50 Peter von Gomm: Which is like Disneyland for me. I love Yellowstone Park—

00:53:54 John Daub: Is that where the bears attack the hikers?

00:53:56 Peter von Gomm: Every year the idiots that get out of the cars get gored by buffalo—

00:54:01 John Daub: Oh, you—you don't go hiking. You stay in the car. Stay in the car—

00:54:03 Peter von Gomm: You just got a super chat—

00:54:05 John Daub: Okay, nice. A bottle of water. Refresh your throat. It's always thinking out for us. Thank you. I mean—that—that's like thinking ahead there. That's actually pretty smart. Okay, we can get a bottle of water. We got some people have been to Yellowstone—

00:54:22 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, Yellowstone's just fantastic. So I'm going with my mom, my sister, her husband, Joji, and my wife. Okay, so we're gonna rent a car and we're gonna drive through Yellowstone Park. And like I said, it's just—if I have these wonderful childhood memories of going there often with my family as a kid, and you're never disappointed—

00:54:44 John Daub: Is there an equivalent to Yellowstone Park here in Japan? I wonder—

00:54:48 Peter von Gomm: It would have to be Hokkaido. But it's not even—

00:54:52 John Daub: Have you ever been to Oze in Fukushima?

00:54:55 Peter von Gomm: No, I haven't—

00:54:56 John Daub: Oze is one of the most amazing destinations in this area—like for national—national parks. Is it—it's pretty big—

00:55:05 Peter von Gomm: Is it volcanic?

00:55:06 John Daub: I—I don't really know. I've never been there. I just—I keep getting be told by people. Oze is one of the most beautiful places in Japan and the best time to go is in June. We—we passed that. So it's just a little bit into July. Might be worth going up there—

00:55:21 Peter von Gomm: What—what is on—what's on offer there? What can you see?

00:55:24 John Daub: It's beautiful scenery, nice hiking trails. Everything's really done well, but still natural. It's pristine. It's very clean. It's not overrun by tourists. And it's—it's pretty close to Tokyo. I mean—Fukushima is like a two hour—

00:55:40 Peter von Gomm: How about the signal there? Can you do live stream?

00:55:42 John Daub: I don't think—I don't know—

00:55:44 Peter von Gomm: John won't go anywhere unless he can live stream—

00:55:46 John Daub: No, that's not true. I—I did an entire honeymoon almost with not live streaming—

00:55:51 Peter von Gomm: But you were itching—

00:55:55 John Daub: No, I—dude, I gave it up—

00:55:57 Peter von Gomm: I get a request of your better half—

00:55:59 John Daub: Well, I said I—I said—I'll give it up if—if we do one on the last day—

00:56:05 Peter von Gomm: And she agreed—

00:56:05 John Daub: Yeah. Okay. It was a compromise. I think marriage is about working together as a team and then coming up with solutions. Everybody wins. Right guys?

00:56:17 Peter von Gomm: Are you guys hearing what I'm hearing?

00:56:19 John Daub: What are you hearing? I can't hear myself talk sometimes—

00:56:21 Peter von Gomm: A sensitive deep—JD this is true—

00:56:26 John Daub: There's a truck over there with some delicious looking foods—long potato—

00:56:33 Peter von Gomm: So I'm guessing looks good that there was no—no Naritaikon on your way back—

00:56:39 John Daub: No—oh, okay. No, no. I know what you're talking—I know what you're inferring—

00:56:44 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Why don't you introduce that?

00:56:49 John Daub: Yes. Why is it cut? We don't have any food. There's another friend of his down there. That's a robin—

00:56:56 Peter von Gomm: No, it's not a robin—

00:56:59 John Daub: Swallow—a sparrow swallows. The one from the Monty Python. Right—

00:57:03 Peter von Gomm: Swallows are the ones that kind of fly really erratically—

00:57:07 John Daub: Okay—

00:57:07 Peter von Gomm: And that's a—that's a bald eagle—

00:57:09 John Daub: That's a bald eagle. I don't think it's a bald eagle. They're sneaky little birds, aren't they? They're the ones that steal the stuff from you. So I just recently had my—Japan—Japaniversary—

00:57:22 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Congratulations—

00:57:23 John Daub: Did you have your 20 yet? No, but—but I've been here longer than you, but in two—

00:57:29 Peter von Gomm: A week and a half will be my 19th anniversary—

00:57:32 John Daub: I have—I've been here longer than you—

00:57:33 Peter von Gomm: One year longer than me—

00:57:35 John Daub: Wow—

00:57:35 Peter von Gomm: One year and a bit—

00:57:37 John Daub: Wow. I only have a few friends that have been here longer than me. Adam is one. You know Adam. He's been here forever. He was here during the bubble period. Wow. Did—do you have any friends that have been here over 20 years? Yeah, yeah, lots—

00:57:52 Peter von Gomm: Lots—

00:57:53 John Daub: Bod. I don't know. He doesn't watch this. Josh has been here for a while—

00:58:00 Peter von Gomm: No, no, no. Where near that long. Bod has been here longer than that—

00:58:04 John Daub: Oh, Bod. I've been calling him Brody. Is that why he gets upset? I don't know. That's why I didn't come to the last party. I called him Brody—

00:58:11 Peter von Gomm: Yeah—

00:58:12 John Daub: Bod—

00:58:14 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. I know lots of people that've been here longer than 20 years—

00:58:17 John Daub: Good. I don't want to be—

00:58:20 Peter von Gomm: There's nothing to be ashamed of—

00:58:22 John Daub: Why would I be ashamed? What does it have to do with shame?

00:58:26 Peter von Gomm: It's nothing to be ashamed—

00:58:27 John Daub: Why would I even—why even say that?

00:58:30 Peter von Gomm: Get butt hurt—

00:58:30 John Daub: Oh, my God. I—video for 20 years—

00:58:34 John Daub: Yeah—

00:58:34 John Daub: All right. I don't mind. Look at this cutie. I was looking at pictures the other day and I—I saw a picture of a girl who was six months old that I was teaching 20 years ago. She's now 20—20 years and six months. It's like—I don't know if I'd recognize her if I saw her, because she was six months old. I was teaching a single six month old English. Yeah. By the way, that's kind of weird, but think about it—I already get that from my wife. She goes, "Oh, in 1998, when you came here, I was in elementary—I was in junior high school." Because she's—I'm 13 years older than her. Right. Wow. Age is—is relative. That's what older people say. But I had a friend who worked at Google—do you ever meet—meet him? The—that guy? Oh, you met him once, I think with the sea cow. He told me there's Kavanaugh—no—something like that. Yeah. I don't—you don't have to say the name, but he told me that there's an equation that tells you whether or not the girl is too young for you. And—when I told him, he plugged it into his little equation and said, "It's on the fringe." And he goes—and he was—he was in his 30s, but he was on—he says he's always—

00:59:49 Peter von Gomm: Well, no—whats—no when it says too old—if you're too old for somebody. I know, but is it for like procreation or—I don't know—

01:00:09 John Daub: He had an equation, socially acceptable. He said it's this plus this divided by this and then this. And he had an equation—he'd plug in the figures and he would come up with an answer. He works at Google, he's a designer there. I didn't agree with that—

01:00:11 Peter von Gomm: You know who broke that test was—

01:00:17 John Daub: He's an engineer. Look, I'm a creator. I think that these types of things, it's like free—you know—you don't think about—just happens. Love. Love has no boundaries. You say that to an 80-year-old man dating a 30-year-old woman—that's—that might be a little bit different. Maybe his equation has some validity at that age. But in general love is love, right? Right. If you know you want to be a sugar dad at age 80, that's not even my business, is that right? That's not our business—

01:00:41 Peter von Gomm: It's gonna be my business in about 50 years—

01:00:50 John Daub: We're not that old. No, I'm enjoying my 30s—

01:00:54 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. And you're enjoying being a newlywed—

01:00:57 John Daub: Yeah—

01:00:58 Peter von Gomm: Let's get back to you—in six months time we're gonna do six month updates—not with John, but with—

01:01:03 John Daub: With his lovely wife on your channel, with your—with your people. I don't want to—I don't be invited. That's all right. I'll take a zero. Now every—every couple of minutes you can hear the roller coaster going by. That's because we're at Tokyo Dome. And for all of you who are watching right now, the 450 people—go back and take a look at the replay. Because the first 20 minutes of this was so much fun. And you know what? I might actually just cut this part out and just leave it—'cause the first 20 minutes split it into two videos. Now going back—now going back to you Peter, and your experience being here in Japan—

01:01:47 John Daub: What's it been like for you? Ah, there's Anil. Peter. Yeah, we should—you know what we were talking about? Peter rides motorcycle. He likes this Vesper one, right? Yeah. Vesper, what do you call that? A Vesper, the friendly ghost. Yeah, it's very quiet. It's very quiet. The engine's quiet. Now we were thinking about this doing some sort of kickstarter to maybe go out to Hokkaido and ride around up there. But I haven't finished—the last Kickstarter that I spent I did a year ago—

01:02:17 Peter von Gomm: Which is what?

01:02:18 John Daub: The hitchhiking one. So I have to make an announcement till supporters today—

01:02:22 Peter von Gomm: What do you mean?

01:02:24 John Daub: The DVD? I'm still—

01:02:26 Peter von Gomm: You haven't finished that yet?

01:02:27 John Daub: It's still out there—

01:02:28 Peter von Gomm: But your editing takes a long time, man. And to do it right, which obviously you're doing it right—

01:02:35 John Daub: Well, the thing with—the thing is with this—yeah—I couldn't edit it on the road, and it always depended on me editing on the road. So I was doing live streams because I was—I couldn't upload and edit with the Dell computer because the Apple has a different codec and the Dell computer wouldn't accept the Apple iPhone videos, which is—was—was half of the live streaming. Yeah. So one thing led to another and—

01:02:55 Peter von Gomm: Long story long—

01:02:57 John Daub: Long story longer. It's not done yet. But as soon as that's done, we can talk about it. And this year has been really crazy busy, but next year it would be fun to rent two motorcycles, go up to Hokkaido, and just ride around for like a week. Oh, it's like a school band. Oh, this would actually be pretty sweet. You can check over there. They got events down here. It's better than an idol group because the idol group manager roves around with a cardboard cutout saying, "No photos, no pictures, no video—"

01:03:25 Peter von Gomm: They're very framed. So I think we can get away with it—

01:03:28 John Daub: It's funny, though, when all the idols here hold up things that say no photos, no videos. You would think that social media would be one of their platforms to increase their fan base. And yet in Japan—in Japan, celebrities don't want to be on social media because social media has not paid for the right. This is how—how preposterous—preposterous—preposterous—this is how preposterous the rules are—exterior—I've had—I've had celebrities that are friends of mine—I take pictures and put them on—on Facebook—this is like going back eight or 10 years ago. And they would actually take it down because their manager said that they can't release the photos on social media. I know—it's very, very weird—

01:04:16 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, it's—

01:04:16 John Daub: Yeah. They don't belong to themselves anymore. Like—this was during our free time. And the management company told me, could you take this—take the photo down—of you and your friend going having dinner together. I said, "What?" So weird. There you go. I think it's getting better with social media in Japan. But still, idol groups are like no cameras, no photos. I think you'd want that—photos of cameras, especially, you know—sure—on your channel, where you have 6,000 subscribers. Wow—

01:04:45 Peter von Gomm: No, no, no, John—6,200 subscribers. And I've earned every last one of them—

01:04:56 John Daub: Your content's original—

01:04:57 Peter von Gomm: Thank you—

01:04:58 John Daub: Nobody else could do it except for you because nobody else would want to do it except for you—

01:05:03 Peter von Gomm: That's fine—

01:05:04 John Daub: That is—you're very—you're backlit now. All right, everybody, we're gonna end this live stream. You get these senses like—well, we've reached the end. Only in Japan—Go means we have to go, and we've been sitting way too long. But I want to thank you for listening to this preposterous talk. Did I get it right?

01:05:26 Peter von Gomm: It's made by bees—

01:05:29 John Daub: We—we stay on a little bit longer just for you, because we know that a lot of you don't get the notification to see this video until 30 minutes after—which I think is what happened in this situation—in the last—like, getting interrupted by these screaming people in the last minute of the show. Why don't you write in where you're from and where you're watching this from? I like that. Right, right—

01:05:47 Peter von Gomm: I got a better idea—in the last minute of the show, why don't you all go to my channel?

01:05:51 John Daub: No. Stop pitching. Actually, that has an opposite effect. If you pitch it too much, people get annoyed by it—

01:05:56 Peter von Gomm: I thought I had six free pitches per stream—

01:05:58 John Daub: Yeah, right. Right in where you're from—where you coming in? We got Germany, Netherlands, Colombia, Poland. This is pretty cool. Chicago—G—California, Switzerland—Germany—anyone from Portland? Oregon—

01:06:09 Peter von Gomm: Nice. I'm Portland. Make sure you subscribe—

01:06:11 John Daub: Nobody write in uranium—Uranus. Somebody always writes Uranus—

01:07:03 Peter von Gomm: Adolphus Go—

01:07:05 John Daub: Is that beyond Uranus. Okay, well, enough of that. I think—I think—we've come to an end, so—it was a very happy end—

01:07:16 John Daub: All right, we got it—we got it—all right. So thanks, everybody for joining us. I want you to go back and watch the replay because we did have a lot of fun karaokeing inside of that—in fact, that's the highlight. The last 45 minutes has been a complete and total disaster. But—but, oh, you—wait, wait—you got to—all right, we—we missed that—the last part of it. But you finished yours and I finished mine. So thanks, everybody. We'll see you in another live stream. Pleasure. Take care and enjoy the last—last 20 seconds—
