00:06 John Daub: Hello and welcome. In front of you is the BMX cycling course. This is the venue at Ariake, with Rainbow Bridge in the distance over there. Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge crosses from the Shimbashi area over towards Odaiba. On this man-made island is where you're going to find the BMX and skating venues for the 2020 Olympics.

00:29 John Daub: It looks kind of overrun with weeds, right? Look at this. These weeds are getting pretty high. Because the Olympics were canceled and moved to next year, there's actually no movement whatsoever here. It's almost depressing. But what's exciting is if you use your imagination, you can see all these bumps and the course. Right there is what looks like some kind of jump.

01:02 John Daub: I don't know a lot about BMX racing, but there's a race and there's a freestyle. That ramp over there looks like the freestyle. I can imagine people coming down this ramp at full speed, taking on these crazy bumps, doing freestyle stunts in mid-air. That's going to be pretty awesome in 2021, hopefully, as everything is decided. How you doing, everybody? I'm at Ariake Station here. This is on the Yurikamome line.

01:32 John Daub: Which is not a monorail. It's like a self-driving train that goes around the harbor area, the Bay Area of Tokyo. This arena has been finished for quite a while. You can see it seats about 5,000, somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 people. Over on the other side behind this, do you see those stands? That's the skateboarding arena. This is Ariake Urban Sports Park. We're going to take a look at it. See if we can get as close as we possibly can to the skate rink. This is the venue for the Olympics, and this is what the situation looks like right now. So let's go down here from the station and explore a little bit.

02:27 John Daub: They're not going to be renaming it 2021, okay, for anyone asking. It's just delayed. Oh, there goes the Yurikamome line right now. This one is titled the Ariake Tennis no Mori Station, or Tennis Forest. How cool is that? Over there is, I believe, the tennis arena on the other side. I like this area. There's not a lot here yet. These are man-made islands. It's very spacious and a lot more inexpensive to live here than in central Tokyo.

03:03 John Daub: You can take a look on the map here. There's not a lot here. This is like a man-made island full of trees that connects the bridge over to here. This is Ariake Coliseum, and we're going to go over as far as we can to the Ariake Urban Sports Park, which is technically not open. Here it is. You're now ground level on what is an Olympic venue. It's kind of lonely out here.

03:52 John Daub: I'm going to read a little bit about the sport to you as we walk around here to give you an overview of what it's going to be like. The cycling BMX racing—I'm kind of interested in this. It's a 400-meter course that goes around. The Olympics website has an overview. BMX racing has its roots in the racing culture that started in California between the 1960s and 1970s, influenced by motocross riders. That's pretty cool.

04:26 John Daub: BMX racing was a very popular sport in the 1980s, and children tried to imitate their heroes. The sport remained relatively small until the 1980s. In 1982, the movie E.T. was released and helped popularize BMX racing, mostly due to the famous final chase scene. Remember when Elliott was escaping the feds on his BMX bicycle with E.T. in the basket in the front? Very cool. That year, BMX bikes became the must-have bicycle for children and teenagers. Thank you, E.T.

04:57 John Daub: After the establishment of the BMX foundation in 1981, the first world championship was held the following year before BMX was fully integrated into the Union Cycliste Internationale in 1993. BMX made its Olympic debut at the Beijing Olympics in the 2008 games and was part of the Olympic program ever since. Thank you, E.T. There are a few rules other than the mandatory use of a 20-inch wheel. After its innovation popularized BMX racing as a skillful sport, the increased exposure and popularity has led to innovations such as the use of carbon fiber frames as competitors seek to gain an advantage to go faster.

06:03 John Daub: Oh my. This is the event that maybe I'm the most excited for because, I don't know, I think that riders competing in it—and you can see this on eSports—this is not something that's new. It's just kind of still new for the Olympics. When you think of the Olympics, you don't think of skateboarding and BMX cycling because it's sort of a suit-and-tie kind of event. You get the images from the 1950s and 1920s with the straw hats and people coming. BMX riders don't do that, and skateboarders don't do that. So it's kind of a new sport that makes you feel the future that is the Olympics. It might not be the traditional sports. It might be something more like BMX and things that are popular that people want to watch. Because as you all know, after this year, halfpipe—that's right. After this year, the Olympics, you can tell, is pretty much a business.

07:20 John Daub: There's the Yurikamome line. You get a nice view of the arena from up there. It's a little bit higher than the position that we started at. Jake Lukic, Luke Lucas—it's hard to see. It's all bright out here. Kyle Dreyer. I have a wife and three kids. John's out here looking pretty good with scruff. I've been editing video pretty hardcore for the last few days. Jake, appreciate it from Australia. I think I'm missing over there. All right, we're walking over here. I think from this direction, we'll get a better view of the skating rink, skateboard arena.

08:12 John Daub: Brenda McSee, thank you. We're going to keep it going. It's hot out here. There's my bike right there. It's not BMX. I never owned a BMX. Any of you did? Did anybody who grew up in the 80s own a BMX bicycle? I didn't own a BMX. Instead, I got a banana seat bike from Schwinn. Yellow seat, red—looked like it came from McDonald's. Ronald would be proud riding that thing. Did I get beat up riding it? It was a pretty sweet ride. The brakes—all you had to do was pedal backwards and it would activate the brakes. Pretty cool, back braking. That's when you could skid out and make these amazing streaks on the street. You also wear out your tires and piss off your parents.

09:06 John Daub: As you can tell, there's not really much out here. Oh, that dude opened the gate. Oh, Daiwa House man. Let me in. Daiwa House man—he had the gate open. All right. Now we're looking here into the BMX arena from the gate. This is as close as we can get in here. So apparently we're not allowed to go in at all. But if you were allowed to go in, this is what you'd see. It's kind of neat. I don't know why it's not open, at least to the public, just because the Olympics was canceled this year. They should be using this stuff. I mean, well, it is a pandemic and everything. I wonder if they would be using it if the pandemic wasn't going on.

10:02 John Daub: These look like shops here. I bet they have a lot of cooling stations if it's going to be taking place at this time of year. I'm sweating like crazy right now. Typically at this venue, you'll be able to walk straight and then along the canal here. But we're not able to do that. It seems like we're fenced off and limited to what we can go see. I think we can get a small look into the skating rink if we walk up this hill. It's really cool. It is hot. Oh man. It's a really nice bicycle ride. If you go straight, you end up in the Ginza area. And straight ahead in front of us is Toyosu Fish Market, or Tokyo Fish Market, that replaced Tsukiji.

11:16 John Daub: So if you're thinking of coming out this way, you can just go a little bit further. You hit up the skateboarding and BMX course—not too far away. The Rainbow Bridge in the distance now coming back into view. This is also where I get to see the sunset. I go running. Look at those weeds—they're so tall. I go running up here on this course sometimes. And you can go around the Toyosu Island and get a really nice run without any traffic lights, which is important when you're running. Oh man. It's supposed to get up to—yesterday was up to 40 degrees Celsius, which is over 100 in Tokyo.

11:55 John Daub: Let's do this here. Check it out. So there's the canal. And this is a manmade island. They put trees in there, kind of building it in, but seems to be a protector of the land here. And I'm going to keep walking, but this walkway, all brand new, was meant for the 2020 Olympics. It follows this canal and people can walk around along the canal, I guess, take a break. Riders probably smoked—probably have a smoke down here. It's just funny to me that they didn't open it. Like, why isn't this open to the public? We taxpayers paid for it. Open up the arena.

12:45 John Daub: That's a strange looking arena. I don't see anything in there, in the skateboarding arena. Behind there is something. Do you see that behind there? That's something. I spy something over there. Kimmy Kimmy 2007, welcome to the Insiders. New Insider travel note coming this weekend. I'm going to go check it out. All right, let's go up here to this manmade island. I guess from this point we're going to get the best view that we can possibly can into the skateboarding arena.

13:24 John Daub: You can now hear the cicada (semi), sakeira, however you pronounce it—symbol of Japanese summer. As well as the Yurikamome line up there running towards Toyosu from Shimbashi. It's pretty exciting. All right, this is the best view we are going to get of the skateboarding arena. Did they finish their job? I'm looking at this wondering—they got a little bit more to make here. Hey Ken Rutley from Halifax in Canada, awesome. This is the start of your BMX fund, or maybe for a drink. And Tony P, and Jennifer French—I'm getting something to drink, guys. I saw a vending machine down here. And Irvine, the crew is all here. BMX forever, although I had a banana bike, banana seat bike—it's not the same.

14:27 John Daub: I'm gonna pan around and then zoom in into the arena, get a closer look here. The great thing about this area is that no social distancing necessary because there's nobody here—pretty nice. I can't really see much for the skateboarding. They haven't even opened it up to local skateboarders to practice. I thought maybe if I came here in the morning there would be some people practicing—don't see that. But you can see in the distance there are some apartment complexes. Some people have decided to live on the island over there. There's two buildings with the hats there. Oh, Daiba at the end of the Rainbow Bridge crossing into Tokyo. And there's VenusFort, the Ferris wheel or London Shot in the background—that's a part of the Odaiba shopping area. And there's Ariake Arena just across the street from the skateboarding, the BMX crossing—a cyclist racing and freestyle arena is a Porsche outlet.

15:42 John Daub: Somebody wanted to cash in on the fame of being next to BMX. They just didn't realize that it'd be canceled—all that. It's pretty nice though. It's really nice out here. And the problem with living out here is that it's very hard to get into the city. There's this monorail—not a monorail. It's a train with wheels, but it's kind of inconvenient and really expensive to get here for local residents for every day kind of a thing because you have to change trains in Toyosu and to get into the Tokyo Metro and then from there you start. It's sort of inconvenient. Haneda Airport's not too far away, so you see flights taking off from the arena as well. But they're usually pretty far up into the air by the time they reach this spot since Haneda Airport's a good—I don't know—maybe like seven or eight kilometers away. It's like five miles.

16:52 John Daub: So use this for a cool bottle of electrolytes to replenish your bike ride energy. I know I rode here. This is actually not an easy ride unless—there's a lot of hills, bridge hills. Bridge hills are the worst because they're so steep—they're easy for cars, so steep for bicyclists. So I got a long ride to get back into the city, but worth it to come out here, get some fresh sea air. Smells like rotting seaweed and petrol exhaust gases from cars. The highway is not too far from here either—just over there you can see a lot of cars. That's the highway that goes around Tokyo Bay, and you can loop around all the way to Yokohama.

17:53 John Daub: This is not as exciting as I thought it was going to be, but it's not bad to hang out and be outside, kind of look at something new—the BMX cycling arena. But I'm pretty excited to see on TV. I don't have tickets to this event, but if you do, it's pretty cool looking. And I believe that this might be the event of the Olympics just because it's so exciting. I know like track and field's pretty cool—shot put and pole vault and stuff that—but there's something about people doing flips and needing all that protective gear and wanting to challenge themselves to get to another level. That's actually track and field and all the other sports too, but for BMX that is also an element. And people talk like this because it's a cool new sport. BMX—it's pretty cool.

18:39 John Daub: I wish Peter von Gomm had become one of the narrators for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but he told me that it's such a hard job because of all the names and the differences and languages. You have to study a lot in order to be an announcer for an Olympic event, and it's a very stressful job. To mispronounce people's names is not good—they come after you. These people are bigger than Peter and I, so come after you—they're Olympic athletes. Some of them have pole vaults and javelins and stuff. All right, let's go hit that vending machine over there and explore this area a little bit. I think I could take you straight and show you this helicopter. I can take you straight and show you a little bit of the big site. For a lot of people they call it Odaiba, but this area is called Ariake.

19:48 John Daub: My bicycle parking is free for one hour—just put that out there. What are these black trailers over here? That's interesting. Let's go take a look, investigate. What are these black trailers? This is interesting. What is this? This is a parking venue that was supposed to be for the Olympics. Department store change—they also own the Sky Tree. Tobu group—they own the Tobu department store in Ikebukuro and in Utsunomiya. The Tobu line is very famous, but they also own this parking lot and that's not as famous. Come on Tobu, open up your parking lot, create a barbecue zone. I'd love to barbecue in this square number 1A. What these are like makeshift shops or something. Look at this in these black trailers—that's awesome, as awesome as it can be with a blue sheet over it. Oh look, they got chairs in there. This is going to be like a little—makeshift cafes or something. That's pretty neat.

21:26 John Daub: So for the Olympics they have these like trailer things going on here. I guess you can still—I don't know what they did with the leases if the Olympics was canceled. Do they renew the leases or let the people stay or what? It looks like a lot of tenants have moved out and said Olympics canceled, so is our lease. You're seeing an exclusive look now at black trailers used as makeshift pop-up shops for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, now moved to 2021. All right, let's see the sign here. Looks like a barbecue from August 12th to 31st—that's now gotta figure this out. I have a puzzle—put the pieces together. Mr. Clayton writes in here—thank you for distracting me from this. I'm distracting myself from work.

22:25 John Daub: Jake writes in—is live streaming in the audience allowed at some Olympic venues? I don't see why not, but I want to say this, okay? You came all the way to Tokyo. I think you should focus your eyes on the sport and maybe not so much on your smartphone—just gonna put that out there. I do think though that probably it's going to be okay because if Tokyo is promoting its 5G network now and we're seeing self-driving—now kind of going hey look at that Porsche. Oh there it is, the Porsche. Then it seems to me you should be live streaming. I'm live streaming. Oh look at that sweet mama—let me in, give me the keys. All right, let me in—there's nobody in there. Porsche makes all kinds of really neat vehicles. Didn't know that—I thought they only made the 911. It's pretty cool looking orange car—reminds me of a jacket I once wore. Pretty funny if this car picked me up wearing the orange jacket. Oh, it's an electric car too. Very nice, Porsche. Porsche or Porsche—I don't Porsche. Okay, good. There's a convenience store—thank heavens. Let's go get something cool to drink. I'm melting, I'm melting.

24:09 John Daub: This is a new building up here. So for those of you joining me, you are in Ariake, an area that's a venue for the Tokyo Olympics, especially the Bayside Sports. There are two zones—the Bay or Harbor Zone and the Heritage Zone, which was part of the 1964 Olympics. These two zones are going to be the main zones for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. And you don't hear much about it because it's been canceled and they've put it on layaway. And that's what you were seeing for the first 20 minutes of this live stream. I'm going to go now to this convenience store to get something cool because I am melting, and I need this to get back. Without the electrolytes I don't know if I can make it. Of course I could make it—adding unnecessary drama into the live streams because we really couldn't see much of the venue. I would think that the venue would be open.

25:13 John Daub: This is Ariake Garden—is what it's called, this building, and it's pretty new. I don't know what it's going to look like in five years—whether it's going to be a ghost town like the 1988 Olympics in Seoul. I remember walking around there when I went 10 years later and it was a ghost town. They didn't do anything with it. There were weeds all over the place. There were some American chain restaurants that were hanging on trying to get a foothold in a new market. That didn't last. I don't know what they're doing. I'm sure Seoul is doing something with it now because it's such a crowded city like Tokyo. What is that? The shop is closed there. Alright, we got something that's open. Let's go get something cool to drink.

26:03 John Daub: Machi Cafe means Cafe of the Town. Thank you, Lawson's. Convenience station! That's what they say in the commercials. Oh, ice cream. I love these Häagen-Dazs. They put the bottles of mugicha (barley tea) in the freezer—that's so smart. And then there's Lawson Ice. Come on Chelsea, stick with me now. This is not a time to go rogue. Alright, what drink should I get here? There's a lot of choices. This one looks interesting—this says ice cream in it. Gubanomi—melon cream soda? No, pass. They got the autumn beer out already. And this is the Yone Yone Ale. It looks like they have this weird frog beer with a bird—that looks like a pigeon. Alright, I might have to get this, but beer—it's a little bit early to be drinking beer. Dan, it's way too sweet—that's the last thing you want to drink on a hot day. You want to just drink water maybe. Or what else we got here? Maybe mugicha. I like oolong tea. Oolong tea is very relaxing. Mugicha is a wise idea too. I've been drinking a lot of mugicha. Okay, let's go with the mugicha then. Let's do this. Oh, they also got some coffee. Should I get a cafe latte? Espresso. Alright, we can get an espresso. This has chemicals in it and stuff—it says gyu. Alright, let's try an espresso. Alright, I'm getting both. Everything looks good when you're hungry and thirsty—even these foods in plastic. These are pieces of fish and sausages. Lawson's is upping their game. Two kinds of sauces and cheese for fondue—it's interesting. Onigiri would be nice too, huh? That's a cheese furikake. That one has egg inside of it. And this is a curry pan with a sausage inside. That looks really good. Dry curry and fried noodles—that looks really good. You know what, I'm going to keep it simple.

31:33 John Daub: Thank you. Dang, the gimbal took an awful time to take a break from all its worries. Alright, let me get the gimbal reactivated. This is what it looks like without the gimbal—it's awful. Put this here in the ground. Chelsea! Alright, hold on a second folks. Let's get this operated. We are back in business! I feel like I just won the gold medal. Mugicha! Here's your torch. Alright, let's go for this first here. Espresso from Lawson's. They wheel away somebody's car. Sorry dude.

32:49 John Daub: This reminds me of the days when I was hitchhiking, just hanging out on the side of a road, trucks going by. A lot of these trucks have talking voices to tell you that they're turning left or right—it's kind of neat. Alright, itadakimasu. Alright, I'm espresso'd. It's very deep bitterness to it—very nice, lightly sweetened, not too sweet. You know, when you buy a drink in the US, the value of the drink is the amount of sugar they put in it many times, and plastic. And if the drink doesn't have sugar in it, people don't see the value—meaning unsweetened drinks just feel like water or it's too cheap. I talked with a beverage maker in the US once, 20 years ago, and we talked about that—how Japan sold teas and it's so much healthier. And he said, well, nobody will buy them in the US. I said, well, 20 years later, maybe they will. Very nice.

34:43 John Daub: Okay, look over there—check this out. When you live stream, you don't know what you're going to find. But over there is a fuel cell bus. These are the new buses running around Tokyo. They run on H2, which looks like hydrogen. They kind of look funky too, like a battery. But I think there's about 15 of them in operation—I just made that number up, don't quote me on that. It seems like 15—my gut feeling. Could be close.

35:23 John Daub: Alright, now for those that are joining us for the BMX arena, I'm going to take you back there because that's what we should end here. If you like Olympic venue tours, click the thumbs up button because you never know what's going to happen out there. No hearts writes in here. Thank you, John, for all your videos and hard work. You've inspired me not only to come and study in Japan, but potentially live there in the future, even return back to university to get that degree so I could teach in Japan. Awesome. You deserve every cent. Thank you. Yeah, I'm so happy to hear that. You do need a college degree, a bachelor's degree—not an associate's—in order to get an English teaching job. It's become extremely competitive because of all the people who want to come and work here. But no dream is impossible, and if you work hard at it, you can achieve it.

36:09 John Daub: And the thing with living in Japan is the hardest thing is just initially getting in. And then after you've gotten the visa and you've gotten a job, the first thing is always finish your contract with the company that brought you in. Always dance with the person who brought you here—that shows a lot of respect. And after that, it's very easy to renew a visa. It's very hard to get into Japan with a work visa, so that's something that's very important for you to understand. And I think that you can make a life here if that's what you want to do. Just remember, living in Japan is a lot different than what you think it's going to be. It's harder, and the society is very, very different—radically different. A lot of the people who move here have what's called the six-month blues where they realize that Japan is not this paradise that they thought. It's a place, a society with a lot of rules. And it seems unfair and unjust, but you're just a resident here—you're not actually a citizen with voting power and all that stuff. You can't make change and things like this. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down. That makes me so happy to see that though. Thank you so much for the super chat and for the story too.

37:39 John Daub: Jeff Ang's in the house. Hi John, get something snack—thank you. I'm going to get something for Kanae Daub. Remember like three months ago, Kanae and I came and rode our bicycles and we went past a food truck? The food truck's here today. So I'm going to stop by that food truck and pick up something for her. I think she likes that one. Touch panel for audible walk signal. What is this? You're going to have to speak up. Speak up, please. Okay, it's a touch panel. Now I got to use alcohol. I guess they put that in for the Olympics—I didn't notice that until now. You see this? There's touch panels. So I guess people who don't understand what's happening or if you're visually impaired, these yellow lines—I introduced it before. A lot of countries have these now. I saw them in Bali in Indonesia, which was interesting a few years ago. And this tells you to stop and that you're at an intersection. And these lines tell you to go straight. And people with visual impairments, they'll stop here and be able to feel the tactile difference in it. So if you're walking around Tokyo, don't walk along these tactiles and try to foot massage yourself. Kind of be respectful and make sure that you give right of way to those that are visually impaired or have the sticks. They can hear a lot too, so don't talk about them either. They got strong ears. I had a lot of friends that couldn't see and they told me, try to whisper over there—we can hear you. I was like, what? It's true.

40:00 John Daub: We're going up the escalator. Mary G, Mary O—some soft cream ice cream, soft cone ice cream—you got it. King Wong's in the house. Vending Machine Fund—the king is here. Tim, it's a secret—thank you from Australia. And go stazze—stay cool, John from NYC. Fang is here—how you doing from New Zealand? Fang, I'm really hoping that I can send postcards back to New Zealand and Australia soon. Hope you're doing well over there, down there. This is the BMX cycling arena. It's winter in the southern hemisphere—it's summer up here. It's going pretty good, man. And next year, this will be a fun place to be. But this year, not so much.

41:05 John Daub: That building over there is the fish market, and you can see Tokyo Tower pop over it as well. On the top of the fish market, there's a really nice park that you can hang out at with grass and lay and relax. So if you're coming here for the BMX event next year, go over to the fish market—check it out. Doesn't smell like fish—it's pretty amazing what they did there. Fish market is still open—it's operating. You can go in there. You can't go in there as a tourist, but if you tell the people that you're going there to buy fish, you can get in. A friend of mine, another YouTuber named Joe Hatab—we got him inside there. At first they told us that we couldn't go in. So I said, no, no, no—we're going in there to buy fish. And we gave him the name of a vendor, and then they let us in. So you just have to be able to tell the name of the vendor from whom you're going to be buying fish. And we did that, and he actually filmed a pretty good segment on inside of the fish market. So we got in there, but we actually bought fish inside there. We did not lie—we actually bought fish at the fish market. And it was significantly cheaper, and the vendor sold to us. So I didn't see anything wrong with that—they were happy to see us in there. There's lots of restaurants in there too.

42:20 John Daub: That's the Rainbow Bridge, and this is a hot summer day. And I want to say thank you to everybody for the support. Give us a name—what do you mean, Stanley? What's going on there? I wouldn't say it's sneaky business—I just say it's business. Shout out to Postcard Club members. Stan, this is to say thank you—that's the old sumo postcard. And Jeff in Chattanooga, Tennessee—this is coming out to you today. I'm sending it in the mail. These have here the sumo stamps—check it out. That's your sumo stamp—that's pretty cool. That's Nara with a deer, and sumo eating lunch—very nice. That's coming your way. Thanks so much for everybody supporting on Patreon, and our Insiders and Travelers—thank you for the support. I'm going now back to my bicycle. I think it's time to get out of here.

43:26 John Daub: Tomorrow I'm going to be going, I believe, to the other side of the city to show you a little bit of Tokyo. I wanted to wait because of the Obon holiday—I sort of didn't want to go outside because it was so crowded, a lot of people out and about. I don't want to worry Kanae. And we have to remember we're still in a pandemic. So tomorrow, now that the Obon holiday is finished in Japan, people are back at work—maybe working at home, but back at work. So I can get on my bicycle and go to the other side of the city like Shinjuku, Shibuya, and bring you another adventure from that side tomorrow. And for the rest of the month, I'll be taking you somewhere. I think we got another 10 minutes—10, 15 live streams possible for August. Going to make it a pretty exciting day. And Kanae and I do have one plan now to rent a car and go down and get some footage for an episode on the new channel that I want to upload this month. So I got to go and film that.

44:31 John Daub: Yes! Oh, Dimitri, thank you so much for reminding me. Dimitri is a star. Dimitri, two points, brother. Earth Celebration! Yes! This is—I'm going to be watching this on my big screen TV. I've been there for the last two years—2018 and 2019 I went there to help film. And this year I was invited to go, but because of the pandemic, I couldn't go. I was going to go there to help bring you this event. It is live on their channel. This is Kodo (鼓童, one heartbeat)—one of the best percussion groups in the world. They sell out their concerts in Europe and in North America when they do tours. You might not have heard of them, but it's a big, big, big band, a percussion band with amazing performance value—like taiko drums, there's something about it. And they add in other instruments and collaborations. And the Earth Celebration is on their home island of Sado, which looks like a butterfly out in the Sea of Japan from Niigata. You got to take a jetfoil or boat to get there. And this year, because of the pandemic, they can't have people there. So they're going to live broadcast their finale, which usually is reserved to like 150 people or something like this that have tickets. And if it's sold out, you missed the event. But this year, everybody can watch it live on the Earth Celebration YouTube channel—just youtube.com slash Earth Celebration. Just like it's youtube.com slash John Daub.

46:25 John Daub: So check out the Earth Celebration—I'll be watching too and chatting in the live stream. You'll see me maybe praising the people. Don't make jokes about them—they got drumsticks and stuff. They'll come after you—they know where you are. All right, folks. This is the BMX arena, cycling arena and the skateboarding arena. We couldn't really see much into that. I'll try to call Tokyo and say, hey, what's up? See if I can get access because I think they got nothing—they seem to have nothing better to do. Right? If they're closed, maybe one of the PR people can come and let us have access into here. And I'll be able to show you maybe the swimming arena or the stadium—why not? I think it's very cool to keep the vibe of the Tokyo Olympics going. It's very important that we do not lose that passion for the Olympics. I know it's a business and all of that, but I need to feel that passion for the Olympics because it feels almost hopeless in some ways, which is why I'm here. That's why I created the Kickstarter fireworks event, which has already achieved 100 percent of its goal. We're on a stretch goal now for five million yen to shoot off some number ten like watermelon-sized shells of fireworks. It's going to be killer—not, I mean, like cool, you know what I mean? So check that out here on Kickstarter if you want to support that project. Thanks, everybody. I'm on my way out. Have a good day or night if you're in the US, and I'll see you tomorrow in another live stream. Bye everybody from Ariake, Tokyo. Go Bucks! Tony found that fireworks emoji—well done Tony! Found the new secret emoji.
