00:00:01 John Daub: Hello, everybody. Welcome to Akihabara. Here in Tokyo, today is the 29th of January. That means one thing. If you come to Moss Burger pretty much anywhere in Japan, but especially here in Akihabara, you get this. On the 29th day, a very special burger. It's the Niku Niku Niku burger. It's so nice, they named it thrice. And I'm gonna be going inside to have one of these. It's pretty incredible. I hope you're hungry. I know I am. Because it's going to be pretty amazing. Let's go inside. Yeah. There's a big sign right there in the window there.

00:00:40 Peter von Gomm: This is crazy.

00:00:41 John Daub: All right, let's go.

00:00:56 [Unidentified]: It.

00:01:23 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. How you doing? We have to keep it down. Why?

00:01:48 [Unidentified]: Why?

00:01:49 Peter von Gomm: And let the meat do all the talking.

00:01:51 John Daub: Oh, my gosh. Look at that, man.

00:01:53 Peter von Gomm: There's no bread.

00:01:56 [Unidentified]: I know.

00:01:57 John Daub: That old lady from Wendy's is never going to say, "Where's the beef?"

00:02:01 Peter von Gomm: That's crazy.

00:02:02 John Daub: It's all beef.

00:02:04 Peter von Gomm: This is mine.

00:02:05 John Daub: This is mine right here. This does look so beautiful. It's an open-faced burger here. There is some. Actually, that lettuce is not considered meat, so I'm disappointed.

00:02:15 Peter von Gomm: Maybe. Should I take it off?

00:02:16 John Daub: No, no, no.

00:02:17 Peter von Gomm: Don't touch it. Nasty.

00:02:20 [Unidentified]: All right.

00:02:21 Peter von Gomm: Look at this. So instead of bread, they use just a hamburger patty.

00:02:26 John Daub: It's cooking. Really?

00:02:29 Peter von Gomm: Do you think so?

00:02:31 John Daub: Yours is spicy, so maybe the spice gives it more life.

00:02:37 Peter von Gomm: Maybe I can let it try it.

00:02:39 John Daub: How y'all doing? Welcome to the. We're about to get our meat on at Moss Burger. Now the problem with this is there's no guarantee that this burger will still be here when you guys are able to get into Japan. In fact, John, who knows if Moss Burger will still be here.

00:03:04 Peter von Gomm: Don't be silly. I eat your burger.

00:03:07 [Unidentified]: All right?

00:03:08 John Daub: I skipped breakfast for this. Now trying. Imagine trying to eat this without this protective wrapper. I can get it open.

00:03:24 Peter von Gomm: Any problems there?

00:03:26 John Daub: I'm shaking with anticipation.

00:03:29 Peter von Gomm: Here we go.

00:03:33 John Daub: This is sacrilege, man.

00:03:35 Peter von Gomm: Here we go. It's good.

00:03:57 John Daub: What's the meatiest freaking burger in my life? It's all meat. I can hardly swallow it down. It's too much meat.

00:04:12 Peter von Gomm: All right, my turn. Yeah, go for it. Is this royalty free music?

00:04:19 [Unidentified]: Yeah.

00:04:33 John Daub: Oh, yeah. Put it in, man. Put it in that hatch.

00:04:43 [Unidentified]: There you go. Attaboy, attaboy. What do you think? Oh,

00:04:56 John Daub: pretty good.

00:04:58 [Unidentified]: So it's got.

00:05:00 John Daub: It's got like a teriyaki beef, like from. What do you call, like a. Like a gyudon sort of beef, kind of like a yakiniku.

00:05:13 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, yakiniku.

00:05:15 John Daub: Taste. You can see the sauce all over there. That's super saucy. What I like about it is the. The lettuce is very fresh. It's not that cheap lettuce you get at McDonald's, the white iceberg lettuce like that.

00:05:37 John Daub: Most of it's very green and if you didn't have that on there, it'd just be way, way too much meat.

00:05:46 Peter von Gomm: Petey, there's chicken on here.

00:05:48 John Daub: Oh, yeah, there's a chicken breast.

00:05:54 [Unidentified]: Wow.

00:06:01 John Daub: So it starts with. The first layer is an all beef patty. We can assume it's all beef, your patty. And then you have the yakiniku beef and then a chicken breast lettuce sandwiching either side of that. And then on top is another patty of meat. It's called the Niku Niku Niku Baga. Meat, meat, meat.

00:06:52 John Daub: Jalapeño.

00:06:56 John Daub: Is that where the spice comes from? There's like nice spicy sauce. Okay, so I just got the normal one. No spice on it. This has got jalapeños in it.

00:07:10 John Daub: Wow. You're not done wiping your face.

00:07:49 John Daub: Surprised.

00:07:49 Peter von Gomm: Cat tea. All meat burger, baby. This music doesn't fit with the carnivore in me.

00:08:00 John Daub: It's kind of a nice balance, actually.

00:08:03 John Daub: I don't know. Reminds me of the music. There's a. In Portland, Oregon, there was an old amusement park called Oaks Park. They had this wooden roller skating rink and antiquated roller coaster. And they always played this kind of music. There's never. It didn't.

00:08:22 Peter von Gomm: You totally have to have always this. Have to have some kind of metal music. Some Led Zeppelin or something.

00:08:28 John Daub: Yeah, yeah. Take me back to the '70s classic rock. So we're gonna take a little walk around Akihabara. Okay. And talk about life after meat and oh.

00:08:48 Peter von Gomm: Across the street is Carl's Jr.

00:08:55 John Daub: Do they have anything worth getting?

00:08:58 Peter von Gomm: I don't know. Let's go take a look at the Carl's Jr menu.

00:09:08 John Daub: I don't think they can't hear the music. I don't think too quiet.

00:09:11 Peter von Gomm: Might be too quiet here. Tortoro Porco. This burger must be accompanied with a mini beer.

00:09:19 John Daub: You know, the little teeny cans.

00:09:24 Peter von Gomm: Raymond Centeno. Is this burger only sold on Niku Day?

00:09:28 John Daub: Yes.

00:09:29 Peter von Gomm: So this is the Niku Niku Niku burger. Three Nikus. And it's only sold on the 29th of every month. Meaning today, you.

00:09:43 John Daub: Fun fact.

00:09:43 Peter von Gomm: Kind of a secret menu item.

00:09:52 John Daub: Now what? What about in February? What if it's not leap year?

00:09:58 Peter von Gomm: They won't have it next month. That's why we had to eat it this month, Peter.

00:10:00 John Daub: Was last year a leap year?

00:10:03 Peter von Gomm: No.

00:10:06 John Daub: You don't wait four years. Oh, yeah, maybe. That's a good question. These are leap years.

00:10:11 Peter von Gomm: All right, I'm going to take them outside. You can eat a piece if you want. Okay, I'm going to take you outside now.

00:10:32 John Daub: Cleaning up.

00:10:34 Peter von Gomm: Meet you up there. All right. Let's go out to the streets of Akihabara.

00:10:52 John Daub: I feel very, very proteined up. Protein. And that doesn't mean I'm pro-teenager. Okay? It means protein. There's Peter right there eating Stalker Cam. He saw us run away. He spotted us. That's right. So today everybody, we wanted to keep it quiet, actually. We came really early so that we wouldn't bother any other customers. There were maybe two or three other people in there, but we kept it down. And I think it's okay. Just in a pandemic, you do have to be really careful. It's not good to be talking in the restaurants. So just keep it down.

This is what I'm talking about. For those that missed the sign here, this is called the Niku Niku Niku Baga Nikun. It's kind of beautiful, isn't it? It's got three kinds of meat. There's a. The bun, which is typically bread, is made out of burger, which is an all beef patty, we believe. Then between the lettuce, because it must have some color or else it would just kind of look brown and gross. There's some yakiniku beef with kind of a teriyaki sauce on there. And then on the bottom of it is like a chicken breast. It is massive and it's a really filling one. Peter got this one and I got this one, which had some jalapeños in there to add some extra spice to it.

They also have on Kunoichi Friday, these special burgers. So Moss Burger does have some kind of secret menus. And I like this because it makes you come back to Moss Burger. They also have some really weird burgers. I'll take a. I'll show you the menu in a second over here. As we wait for PVG to finish his burger. I thought it would be polite to give him some time. We're in the streets of Akihabara and I'm going to take you around to the back alleys here in a second. Thanks for asking that question, Raymond. That's right. It's only on the 29th.

Here's the normal menu here. And Moss Burger's got some pretty good burgers. This one looks like it's sold out. This is the double Toby Kitty spicy demiglace burger. That's pretty insane too. So there's reasons to come back, but sometimes you just can't beat the original. This is the spicy moss burger. Probably my favorite burger that they serve here, but they do have a healthier option. And this is certainly only in Japan because I know that they do have it outside of Japan. But when I first came here 20 some years ago, Moss Burger was something really special because I'd never seen anything like it. They had taken the burger and Japanified it, like, made it into such a unique.

Oh, you know, PVG is making his way out. They've made it into like. They made it special croquette burgers. Deep fried, like mashed potatoes with the, you know, tangy sauce between two buns or a bun. It's really good. And. And I like the fact that it does take a little bit of time. They make it to order, meaning after you order it, they start to cook it. So nothing is pre-cooked. That's right. You look like a carnivore, man.

00:14:55 John Daub: How's this sitting in your gut? It's a bit too much meat, man.

00:14:59 Peter von Gomm: It's a little bit. A little bit oily.

00:14:59 John Daub: Not good for the cholesterol.

00:15:02 Peter von Gomm: We better walk it off.

00:15:03 John Daub: Yeah, let's walk it off to Carl's junior. Process, baby. They might now Carl's junior. That's where Paris Hilton did that commercial. Remember that commercial? No. Oh, wait, no, dude, Carl's is gone. What? No. We have a victim that. I'm. I'm pretty sure that that's where Carl's junior was. It's gone.

00:15:35 Peter von Gomm: Possible they moved to a better location.

00:15:37 John Daub: Better? What could be better than Akihabara's Chūō Avenue? All right, let's. I am shocked. Every time I come to Akihabara, I lose some sort of. I lose some sort of business. Whether it's the Sega shopping arcades or now popular burger chain joint restaurants. Insanity.

00:16:04 Peter von Gomm: Well, at least we got our all meat burger.

00:16:06 John Daub: Yeah. Tonight, for those of you who are watching, I'm gonna get a burger for Kanae. Because it's not fair that I'm getting you a burger. McDonald's in the evening has a special rice burger right now.

00:16:24 Peter von Gomm: What do you mean? Like the bun is made from rice or what?

00:16:26 John Daub: Yes, the bun is made from rice. And there's a reasoning behind it and it's an only in Japan reason. So I thought that it would really be good to get some takeout for Kanae. And tonight we're gonna do a live stream. The thing is, McDonald's only sells this burger at night after 5pm. Okay. It's weird, right?

00:16:51 Peter von Gomm: Because there's a limited supply or something or what's the deal?

00:16:53 John Daub: I'm not gonna tell it in this live stream.

00:16:55 Peter von Gomm: Okay.

00:16:56 John Daub: I know the reason why.

00:17:00 Peter von Gomm: Okay, so that means. Oh, how sneaky are you? That gets people to tune back in for the answer. Yeah, well, John, you're brilliant.

00:17:09 John Daub: You figured it out, huh?

00:17:11 Peter von Gomm: I suspect that Carl's junior is gone.

00:17:18 John Daub: I was here last time. I was. I came here just a few weeks ago, the Christmas I rode by here for the KFC Kentucky Fried Chicken Christmas Bucket at Okachimachi. I was filming there. Carl's junior was doing fine. So now we're a little bit away from Akihabara. This is Sue Hirochō. I know. We'll be discussing. We'll be discussing this on the Discord server. So if you haven't already, it's free. We have over 10,000 members in this community where we talk about Japan, some of the places that are gone now. But we also talk about food, hotels. Yeah, we talk about the fun stuff, but for a lot of people, it's really, really sad to hear that when they do come back, there's no Carl's Jr.

And for me, this is the only Carl's Jr. In Japan. And I never went there. I never been to Carl's junior in Japan. No, I thought this is the only one.

00:18:24 Peter von Gomm: There's several that open. This one in Akihabara. There's one in.

00:18:25 John Daub: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:26 Peter von Gomm: Which is surprising, why they closed this one. But there's. Yeah, there's several in Tokyo now.

00:18:32 John Daub: No. What happened here?

00:18:34 Peter von Gomm: Let's see what they said. Oh, maybe they just moved. We're here.

00:18:41 John Daub: So there's a.

00:18:42 Peter von Gomm: There's another one. This is.

00:18:50 John Daub: I don't think this is Carl's Jr.

00:18:54 Peter von Gomm: You sure this was the Carl's Jr.

00:18:55 John Daub: I think so. I'm pretty sure. Well, do you have your Google? Maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Okay, let's keep going. Let's keep going. I'm pretty sure because it wasn't right there. So it couldn't have been anymore. Now. Now we're checking. And while we're checking, we're sharing with you the beauty of Akihabara.

This used to be Cafe Nagome. Still here. This is one of the most bizarre tsundere maid cafes that I went to for a Tokyo Eye for NHK World. And she was happy one moment and then all of a sudden she would get angry and then slap you. It's super weird. I don't know if she's still there. That sign looks like it was there from 10 years ago when I was filming there for NHK. That's not an snm. It's a Tsundere maid cafe. You know what? Tsundere? I don't know. She just. One moment she's really happy, the next moment she wants to kick my ass.

00:20:14 Peter von Gomm: And you've been there more than once, right? Kept you coming back from war?

00:20:17 John Daub: Yeah. No, I didn't. I only went there for one time for NHK. Shoot. My friend Patrick Galbraith, he had a what?

00:20:29 Peter von Gomm: That's it, isn't it? With the star Char grilled burgers.

00:20:31 John Daub: Whoa. You saved it, Peter. You saved it. You kept it in business. Peter has found Carl's junior. It's a miracle. It's very creepy. It's flashing because of the electrical magnetical pull from the moon in its full state. Oh, AC DC. That has nothing to do with AC DC.

00:21:17 Peter von Gomm: It doesn't?

00:21:18 John Daub: No. That's just Angus is a type of beef. You know that I can't eat one of these after eating that moss burger. Could you eat?

00:21:29 Peter von Gomm: I could not.

00:21:29 John Daub: Could you eat another burger?

00:21:31 Peter von Gomm: Absolutely not.

00:21:33 John Daub: Do they have any?

00:21:34 Peter von Gomm: I could go with a shake. Hand scooped whipped ice cream.

00:21:39 John Daub: Well, if you want to shake, just ask buddy. Where's your hand? Oh yeah, we're not supposed to touch. Sorry. And do an elbow no shake for you. So what do they got here? Western bacon burger. Is that compared to the Eastern bacon burger which would be Japanese bacon.

00:21:55 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:21:56 John Daub: How is that different?

00:21:57 Peter von Gomm: Look like octopus on it or something.

00:22:00 John Daub: Well, they should have a taco taco burger. Takoyaki burger. Is there any like only in Japan item? I don't think so.

00:22:10 Peter von Gomm: No. It all looks like it's right out of the USA menu.

00:22:13 John Daub: I like how they. They have. They have the plastic displays for Carl's Jr. on the street. I like that. This goes in with only in Japan, right?

00:22:19 Peter von Gomm: Sample.

00:22:19 John Daub: Yeah.

00:22:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Those are fun.

00:22:21 John Daub: That does look real. I have to go with uflip06. Bacon does make it better. It's kind of neat in here. I don't know. Do you want a shake?

00:22:39 Peter von Gomm: I can hold off for a bit. Let's try to walk that thing off.

00:22:42 John Daub: Walk it off, huh? All right. So the. The. So it's good to know that Carl Jr. is here. And it seems it will be here a while. I thought that. I thought that they had completely gone. Okay. Whoa. I. They started putting the menu out here. I haven't seen the menu for Maid Dreaming. Have you been here, Peter?

00:23:04 Peter von Gomm: Do they spank you here too?

00:23:06 John Daub: No, they don't spank you. This is a chain. They get in trouble for that. This is the kuma tan.

00:23:15 Peter von Gomm: I have not been here.

00:23:17 John Daub: No. They did a pretty good job with.

00:23:18 Peter von Gomm: With the slapping. Maybe after the show.

00:23:21 John Daub: The tsundere. I like the. The. There's one cafe on the other side where the maids are. Are guys and they play video game. No, it's actually really good.

00:23:33 Peter von Gomm: They're not dressed like girls, though, are they?

00:23:35 John Daub: Yeah, they're dressed like Victorian maids. Oh, hey, do you want to go to the secret shrine of Akihabara? Do you know about it?

00:23:45 Peter von Gomm: I do know about it, but I don't think I've seen it before.

00:23:47 John Daub: A lot of people. So you can always find the secret shrine of Akihabara. There's Don Quijote there. There's Soft on the Map. And then you. You just come here and.

00:24:01 Peter von Gomm: So that's the. That's the landmark.

00:24:03 John Daub: Yeah.

00:24:03 Peter von Gomm: Donkey.

00:24:04 John Daub: It's actually right here. And actually, they're not allowed to be blocking this. This is actually illegal because this is a public street. So the police go around it.

00:24:16 Peter von Gomm: Go on to the other side.

00:24:18 John Daub: Okay, let's do it. No, you can just go here. Look at you. So that balloon is blocking it, but you can go around it. Don't pop it, because then you get in trouble. That's not your property. But it's pretty creepy. It's pretty bad that they put that there. Because this is actually considered a public road. It's grand. I did some research. It's grandfathered in. Now. You're supposed to have like one meter or something. This does not pass that. But because it's from the Edo period, it's been grandfathered in as a public access road.

Yeah, it looks completely different from a couple of years ago, the last time it was here. This does not. Is that a toilet?

00:25:10 Peter von Gomm: There's a couple back there. It's a pink one.

00:25:12 John Daub: Dude, I gotta go. That's why brought that up.

00:25:17 Peter von Gomm: So we're not gonna get in trouble from walking through here.

00:25:19 John Daub: It's not like, oh, no, it's fine. This is public. This is a public road. And here's the, here's the shrines. The secret shrine of Akihabara.

00:25:38 Peter von Gomm: This is beautiful. Look at this.

00:25:54 John Daub: That's. Yeah, that's from the Edo period. They decided to tape it there. Really? Wow, that's hardcore.

00:26:07 Peter von Gomm: What's he got like a paint. Paint roller.

00:26:10 John Daub: Yeah.

00:26:11 John Daub: What is that? Well, we could paint your house and then take you to hell.

00:26:19 Peter von Gomm: Grim reapers.

00:26:23 John Daub: Okay, be respectful now. Be respectful.

00:26:51 Peter von Gomm: What is the God of this?

00:26:55 John Daub: Well, I, I see the fox here, so I think it's it. It. I believe it's for business. Here, I'll give you some money. You remember how to do it? No, I, I don't. It's just pray twice because then it'll come out equal. I missed.

00:27:16 Peter von Gomm: We could count. Oh, Johnny. Last chance. Come on. 20, 21.

00:27:47 John Daub: All right. You prayed for probably the same thing I did here. All right. I gave a prayer for all of you here at the shrine. This is the secret shrine for safety and success this year. Because I know that a lot of people lost their jobs and that'd be pretty cool if you could get yours back if you lost it, because we prayed there. So if you do come to Akihabara. Yeah, if you do come to Akihabara. Go. Go into the shrine and pray too, because that's where just prayed for you, right there.

00:27:52 Peter von Gomm: Oh, you're right.

00:27:53 John Daub: It's right at the Capsule Hotel.

00:27:55 Peter von Gomm: That's another landmark right here at the corner if you want the shortcut.

00:27:58 John Daub: Oh, this Capsule Hotel.

00:28:00 Peter von Gomm: Turn down that street and it's one building in.

00:28:04 John Daub: I gotta be honest with you. I will never stay at a Capsule Hotel again for. Because I want to. I'm so. I, there's no reason for me ever to stay at a Capsule. I, I, I just don't like them. Do you like them?

00:28:10 Peter von Gomm: I've never stayed in one.

00:28:12 John Daub: Well, that's, well, I've stayed in tons of them. I'm just. I can't stay in them anymore. They're too claustrophobic or what? I can't do any editing in there, for example. I can't really. And actually, they're just meant there for crashing, right? It's not really a hotel. It's just a place to crash for the night.

00:28:32 Peter von Gomm: And for people who are traveling on a budget.

00:28:35 John Daub: Hey, what's different with this green tea than normal green tea. Why is this Tokyo green tea? I've never seen this before. Do you want Tokyo green tea? You would need a drink.

00:28:50 Peter von Gomm: I would like something hot. Just not the hot corn. That's gross. I mean, I think it tastes.

00:28:56 John Daub: No, it's really good. Are you sure? Because maybe not that brand. Maybe not that brand. You want a monster?

00:29:00 Peter von Gomm: I don't want a hot monster.

00:29:02 John Daub: This one has honey in it. And caramel. It's a honey caramel latte.

00:29:07 Peter von Gomm: I could try coffee. A black coffee.

00:29:12 John Daub: I wonder if they found the jewel thieves. Did you. Did you hear that? The story about the jewel thieves?

00:29:19 Peter von Gomm: I heard about that. Where was that? What area?

00:29:21 John Daub: Ginza. Actually, it was just a misunderstanding.

00:29:26 Peter von Gomm: So what, they robbed the place and then said, I'm joking?

00:00:00 John Daub: No, they reported it. They reported it stolen, but it was a misunderstanding, apparently. Pretty crazy, right? There's another vending machine around the corner. These look pretty weak. But I was saying earlier when I was indoor camping, I get nervous when I see officers of the law. I always feel like I'm doing something suspicious. Yeah, I feel like déjà vu. Like we just walked past Carl's Jr. Oh, right. That's because we went to the secret shrine, and you can see the road in there. I know. It was kind of like fake news.

00:30:09 Peter von Gomm: What do you drink? What do you wash your meat burger down with?

00:30:12 John Daub: Wine. Meat.

00:30:13 Peter von Gomm: Winery.

00:30:15 John Daub: Oh, that's nasty. I think they mean the meat and the winery, not meat wine. I don't think it's together. G man 3 Full. Lapping it up. Thanks a lot. And Brandania with Pearman. Oh, I like that one. Chicago African writes in here. John asked PBG why you. Why you are never on any of his channels?

00:30:36 Peter von Gomm: Why is John never on any of my channels?

00:30:38 John Daub: He doesn't want to. He wants to keep it classy. I don't. I don't know why.

00:30:45 Peter von Gomm: This is somebody who. Who put me on the spot here.

00:30:48 John Daub: Chicago African.

00:30:49 Peter von Gomm: Well, Chicago African, why don't you send me a DM and I'll clue you in? I can't say in front of John. It'll hurt his feelings.

00:31:00 John Daub: I have no feelings. It's okay.

00:31:04 Peter von Gomm: Part of the reason why I never have in the show.

00:31:07 John Daub: Oh, that's why. Oh, I see. It's good.

00:31:10 Peter von Gomm: Speaking of. Is that now might be a good time for me to.

00:31:13 John Daub: Are you gonna plug it?

00:31:14 Peter von Gomm: Plug it. Let me plug it.

00:31:16 John Daub: All right. Do it. As Kaka Silva writes in. Hi. From Norway.

00:31:20 Peter von Gomm: So I have started a podcast.

00:31:24 John Daub: Whoa.

00:31:26 Peter von Gomm: And it's called the Serial Talker. And I would like you. I'd like to invite all of you to come check it out. It's a weekly podcast and it's. The genre is true crime, true stories, and I've just launched it this month, beginning of this month. And as I mentioned, it's a weekly podcast. So I'd like to invite you to. To go to Apple Podcasts or Spotify or Pocket Casts or any of. Take your pick. It's there. The Serial Talker is the name of it. And I also make a YouTube version of it for those who prefer to see video stuff. It's a very simplified video, but I have a brand new channel for that called the Serial Talker. And I think John, maybe put those links in there.

00:32:14 John Daub: Yeah, I will.

00:32:16 Peter von Gomm: Okay. Okay. John will put the links in. I have no subscribers right now. I just.

00:32:24 John Daub: No, I subscribed, didn't I? I think so.

00:32:29 Peter von Gomm: So John might be number one, but there's nobody else. I just launched it this morning, so please check it out.

00:32:41 John Daub: All right. What is this place? This is the. Oh, this is a pachinko. I thought this is like an. Like an anime museum, but it's pachinko parlor. It's confusing. Yeah, definitely. Check out Peter's. Oh, that's that zombie ramen. I had that the other day. Yeah, it's zombie ramen. That's a zombear. Wow. But they. I. I got the ramen. Oh, this is the eyeballs. Hey, guys, look. This is the eyeballs right there. Is that what I'm supposed to be putting in there? You're supposed to put an eyeball in the ramen? But I didn't have any eyeballs. Apparently. Apparently. You have to buy it separately. That is it actually an improvement.

00:33:16 Peter von Gomm: Yeah,

00:33:19 John Daub: slightly creepy.

00:33:22 Peter von Gomm: You seen those people that can, like, make their eyeballs pop out?

00:33:25 John Daub: Yeah, my mom used to be able to do that. She'd go like this when I was a kid, which scared me the heck out of me. She could turn her eyelids inside out. I know. And then she chase us around the house. It's nasty. Dude, she's showing her crack. Your mom? No, on the street. Oh, this girl. That seems wrong to me. I don't know.

00:33:46 Peter von Gomm: Show some class.

00:33:50 John Daub: She probably watches this. Peter, Tasty Chronicles writes in here. Please take PBG to a coffee bar somewhere. He'd love a nicely brewed pour over or cappuccino.

00:34:06 John Daub: This is like reading your mind.

00:34:08 Peter von Gomm: Thank you.

00:34:10 John Daub: It's something to break up the fats in that burger. I just bought you. Michael Cesar writes it. Hey, John. For a beverage. Beverage? Kampai. Thank you, Michael. We'll put that to good use. Starting with gachapon. I'm looking for a couple of gachapon that might be. Wow, look at this cat with the construction hat. Whoa. No way. I'll never win it. But look at the little Little Paul logo.

00:34:51 Peter von Gomm: Nothing that big.

00:34:53 John Daub: Nothing that big, huh? All right, let's go to the. There's a gachapon bank over here. Let's see what we can find. Nice. Have you noticed that the pollen is out? Wow. Just like, images. I don't. It's kind of morning for me.

00:35:16 Peter von Gomm: I felt it this morning, actually, for the first time this year.

00:35:19 John Daub: The pollen. Right.

00:35:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Yeah.

00:35:21 John Daub: That's why I'm coughing. I had. I woke up to a runny nose. My eyes hurt. And the first pollen, I guess it's sugi, which is like a cedar. It makes my heart pump. Really? And I have trouble sleeping. I don't know. I have some weird.

00:35:38 Peter von Gomm: I had a really tough time sleeping last night.

00:35:40 John Daub: I think it could be the pollen

00:35:41 Peter von Gomm: Herb wasn't the full moon. Or was it?

00:35:43 John Daub: It could have been the full moon.

00:35:45 Peter von Gomm: Okay, well, this is a long bank of gachapon.

00:35:49 John Daub: Whoa. Check it out. Cable mascots.

00:35:55 Peter von Gomm: That does not look like it. Feels great.

00:36:00 John Daub: That one right there. His butox. Yeah, the top of his head. Sometimes you find some interesting ones here. That's not supposed to be. I don't know. Well, look at this one. Ramen. You can get buttons for ramen. These are on the vending machines. This is so cool.

00:36:15 Peter von Gomm: It probably has a battery in it that lights up.

00:36:18 John Daub: Yeah, they have. Yeah. She could just push it. And it says sold out. So if she wants ramen, she could just push that and then nothing will come. It's actually kind of cruel. Hey, Peter, look. It's. It's. It's weird. Telephone of the Past from NTT they made it a Gachapon. That's awesome. I know. But can you get it as a g? No. Oh, they have some. They have some stamps here for business. The wind is really picked up here. Jennifer French writes in Both Jennifer French writes in here.

00:37:47 John Daub: Yeah, these are the toilet slippers.

00:37:50 Peter von Gomm: Are they real size though?

00:37:51 John Daub: Are they baby? No, no, they're not real. They're made for okapi, I think. Like okapi size. Xavierna's writes in here. Hello from Minnesota. Buy PBG a beer. How come? Thank you. PBG. They want to get you drunk.

00:38:52 Peter von Gomm: The one.

00:38:54 John Daub: Yeah.

00:38:54 Peter von Gomm: That's an awesome camera. You know a lot more about cameras than I do.

00:38:59 John Daub: I pre ordered it already.

00:39:01 Peter von Gomm: Wow.

00:39:02 John Daub: From New York. So I thought the camera was pretty good. But I was. I was really impressed that you got all the technical talk down and without. Without slowing down your pace. That must have been hard.

00:39:18 Peter von Gomm: I'm a professional John.

00:39:22 John Daub: You can admit it.

00:39:24 Peter von Gomm: I'm a professional John.

00:39:25 John Daub: Yeah, he's not gonna admit it. I heard one. One slight hesitation. I heard one slight hesitation.

00:39:32 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I'll retake.

00:39:35 John Daub: Was a. Your. Your video. That video was trending in the U.S. it was number 22 yesterday. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna get one of these guys.

00:39:43 Peter von Gomm: There was one word that I had to check on, which was B I

00:39:47 John Daub: O N Z A Bions.

00:39:50 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:39:51 John Daub: Oh, you needed to check that, huh? How come they didn't call me? I would have been happy to do it.

00:39:58 Peter von Gomm: Oh, why?

00:40:00 John Daub: I could do.

00:40:02 Peter von Gomm: I could do you the one. Okay. Well, you do it in your voice or in mine?

00:40:12 John Daub: No, in your voice. Well. Oh, I gotta pay for that. My gosh. Oh, look at this one. Didn't we ride one of these ones in Kichijoji? Yeah, a couple of years ago.

00:40:40 Peter von Gomm: This is kind of a sentimental multi second story. But when my father passed away, he used to live in Japan. And I took his ashes, along with a friend of mine, to Miyanoshita, to Lake Ashi. And we. We got a swan boat and we paddled my dad out into the lake and dropped his ashes in a vase

00:40:55 John Daub: to the bottom of Lake Ashi.

00:40:58 Peter von Gomm: You had to know my dad. But it was. It was very appropriate.

00:41:03 John Daub: Interesting. So it's Lake Ashi is where? In Hakone.

00:41:15 Peter von Gomm: Wow.

00:41:18 John Daub: Check this out. It's the. I don't want. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Do these work?

00:41:25 Peter von Gomm: Let's try it.

00:41:27 John Daub: Hold on a second. Do they work? What? Why would they have a defibrillator?

00:41:34 Peter von Gomm: Let's find out. Let's get it.

00:41:36 John Daub: Can I put this in my. In my earthquake pack in case we need it? We'll have one. These are 300 yen too. Well, I don't. I only have 600 yen, I think. So. What do you want? Which one is interesting to you? Do you want to take. They have the ticket. Turnstile from Junior.

00:41:55 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, it doesn't really interest me.

00:41:57 John Daub: Do they work? I would.

00:42:05 Peter von Gomm: These are ridiculous. Let's get something that's useful. This is useful.

00:42:10 John Daub: A defiberator. Oh, look at the cat in a matchbox.

00:42:20 Peter von Gomm: Oh, look at this.

00:42:21 John Daub: This is so cute. It's a matchbox nickel. You totally want this, don't you? You can open it up and when you're feeling sad, Peter, you can open it up and go, oh, look, it's Barney in a matchbox. Yeah, you're gonna make Barney angry. And it's 500 yen. I don't have 500 yen. I think Kanae wanted. You. Get the ramen one, though. It's not jackpot if it's that ramen. No. Do you do that what the old guys do in Japan? You have one. One fingernail that's longer so you could use it to cut stuff. No, that's been recycled. Sorry, guys. The wind.

00:43:14 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Get this tape off of here.

00:43:22 John Daub: Just smash it. Use that meat burger.

00:43:25 Peter von Gomm: Smashing it. Smash the likes.

00:43:28 John Daub: Oh, that's true. Yeah. Hit the like button.

00:43:30 Peter von Gomm: Hit that like button.

00:43:32 John Daub: If you want us to get one more. Hit the like button. Do it. Yeah.

00:43:42 Peter von Gomm: Oh, this is making me really angry. John.

00:43:48 John Daub: Brace for impact. Wait. Didn't you not get the instruction manual?

00:43:51 Peter von Gomm: Right there.

00:43:53 John Daub: I don't know how it works.

00:43:56 Peter von Gomm: I suspect if we put our heads together, we can figure it out collectively. Perhaps if you got some people watching, that might be able to help. We can't figure it out. How many people you got watching?

00:44:08 John Daub: Only 1100.

00:44:10 Peter von Gomm: Only 1100?

00:44:12 John Daub: I didn't say only, did I? I could. They could see me in your glasses. That's kind of neat. All right, here it is. Is that ramen? No, it's not ramen. It's lunch.

00:44:26 Peter von Gomm: Oh, see, it's the kids. Kids lunch.

00:44:31 John Daub: Oh, see? Can turn it on.

00:44:38 Peter von Gomm: Cool. Let's see. Hey, it does light up. Sweet.

00:44:46 John Daub: Well, that's not the one Kanae wanted, so I'll give it to you.

00:44:50 Peter von Gomm: Really? I guess we got to buy another one.

00:44:55 John Daub: I guess so. Well, I don't know. I wanted that cat match. Cat in a matchbox look really cool. It is kind of cute. You think Joji will like it? But he's not a kid. He's a man. Okay, we'll get the defibrillator because that's what you wanted.

00:45:13 Peter von Gomm: I'm gonna put this in your pocket just so you don't forget. All right,

00:45:21 John Daub: all right. I only have 50 yen coins. You need exactly 100 yen coins have 100 yen. Okay, well, I got. I got. I got it.

00:45:27 Peter von Gomm: I got.

00:45:27 John Daub: I got it. I got it. I got it.

00:45:30 Peter von Gomm: You want the defibrillator?

00:45:31 John Daub: No, it's. This is for you. You pick what you want. No, I'll give Kanae the children's thing. She'll be angry for a moment. She'll say, what do you want me to do with this? I said, just press it and then nothing out. That's it. I thought you're getting a defibrillator. Well, you don't have. Well, deal what you want. I guess he didn't want the defibrillator. He's like, you could put that towards another meat burger.

00:46:10 Peter von Gomm: No, I think I'm turning vegetarian after today. Yeah,

00:46:20 John Daub: I think this side's more like animation. Anime characters.

00:46:27 Peter von Gomm: What's the. What's the new kit? Anime.

00:46:31 John Daub: Here.

00:46:31 Peter von Gomm: The Dragon Slayer.

00:46:33 John Daub: Yeah. Demon Slayer. Yeah. I didn't see any Demon Slayers. Maybe this one. No, I think Joji wants a defibrillator. Just saying. No, that's 500 yen. You don't have enough. You're gonna get a Godzilla. Really? The refrigerator's there.

00:47:12 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I know, but it's 500.

00:47:13 John Daub: No, the defibrillator is down there is 300 yen. This is Godzilla. Defibrillator is right here. Actually, it's not that confusing. It's sort of.

00:47:27 Peter von Gomm: Do you want to turn it this time?

00:47:29 John Daub: No, you can turn it then. You can get sick from not washing your hands. From touching it in public. Knob.

00:47:36 Peter von Gomm: Thanks for that.

00:47:37 John Daub: I got alcohol. I got alcohol.

00:47:40 Peter von Gomm: How can that actually be a real defibrillator?

00:47:42 John Daub: It's a defibrillator. It's for your finger, Peter. It starts your heart beating from your finger. Did you ever notice you could take a pulse from somebody's finger? Everybody knows that better work.

00:47:53 Peter von Gomm: I'm not. My money back.

00:47:56 John Daub: Test it. Test it.

00:47:59 Peter von Gomm: All right.

00:48:05 John Daub: Whoa.

00:48:07 Peter von Gomm: Okay. I've got a little handy.

00:48:11 John Daub: Yeah. Read the instructions or else you're gonna shock yourself. Maybe. Always read the instructions.

00:48:21 Peter von Gomm: All right. Doesn't really have any instructions.

00:48:24 John Daub: You can just make it up.

00:48:26 Peter von Gomm: Make out?

00:48:28 John Daub: No. Make it up. I don't know. Just. Nobody knows what it says.

00:48:32 Peter von Gomm: Hook it to your chest.

00:48:34 John Daub: It really does. Look at that. What?

00:48:38 Peter von Gomm: All right, let's try it. Take your shirt off, John.

00:48:40 John Daub: In this weather?

00:48:42 Peter von Gomm: This is for the show, man.

00:48:44 John Daub: Good for the show.

00:48:49 Peter von Gomm: This is training for your 1100 followers, our viewers. All right, here we go. Let's try it through the shirt. Hang on.

00:49:01 John Daub: Well, careful, careful. This isn't delicate electronics here. Let's just try it with your finger first because we don't know how powerful this could be. Can you. Can you even.

00:49:13 Peter von Gomm: I can get them out, yeah.

00:49:15 John Daub: Oh, wow. The pieces are separate.

00:49:18 Peter von Gomm: Okay. I think it actually works, man.

00:49:21 John Daub: I know. This is what I'm saying. Let's try it with your hand or something. First, defibrillate your hand. Okay.

00:49:27 Peter von Gomm: Are you pressed?

00:49:28 John Daub: I'll press.

00:49:29 Peter von Gomm: Who's gonna press the button?

00:49:30 John Daub: I'll press the button. Just put it on yourself. Do you put it on your ring? Apparently, metal is a good conductor of. Of electric.

00:49:38 Peter von Gomm: All right, I'm just gonna put it through.

00:49:40 John Daub: Are you serious? I was kind of joking.

00:49:43 Peter von Gomm: I'm just gonna hold it like this, and then you press the button.

00:49:46 John Daub: Okay? Okay. All right. Are you ready? Clear. Clear. Seriously?

00:49:55 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:49:55 John Daub: You try it. No, I just put it on the back of my hands here.

00:50:01 Peter von Gomm: Clear.

00:50:04 John Daub: That's not working. I think. I think all the juice went into your first clearing. Did you break wind? Is that why you're telling people clear?

00:50:21 Peter von Gomm: That's disappointing. But it's.

00:50:23 John Daub: It's. You wanted it, right?

00:50:25 Peter von Gomm: You could send this to one of your patrons in the next patron gift box.

00:50:31 John Daub: This could be. This could be fodder for disposal. Discussion in the serial podcast.

00:52:40 Peter von Gomm: We have to show us doctor's report.

00:52:43 John Daub: Yeah.

00:52:43 Peter von Gomm: Of your heart condition. This looks really cool. The reflection on the buildings over here.

00:52:48 John Daub: Yeah, it's pretty cool. There's one more place I could show some people. On the other side behind this building is where the canned ramen used to be. And I believe they went back to can canned Oden. But don't put that in my pocket. That's for you. Take it back home. And defibri. Defib. Defib. Your friend. Yeah. Defibri. Son. Yeah. Chips.

00:53:31 Peter von Gomm: Is that chips, though?

00:53:32 John Daub: Yeah. And then they had this like they teach every now you remember. It's pretty cool.

00:53:48 Peter von Gomm: What did CHIP stand for?

00:53:50 John Daub: California Highway Patrol.

00:53:53 Peter von Gomm: Why'd they put the I in there?

00:53:55 John Daub: Because it sounded like chips. Yeah. And they wore real tight uniforms.

00:54:05 Peter von Gomm: I never noticed that bit.

00:54:07 John Daub: I never saw those tight uniforms again until I went to Bangkok, Thailand. And all the police officers in Bangkok have. Have uniforms that are a size and a half too small.

00:54:20 Peter von Gomm: Right? Right. A friend of mine, a funny story. He gay friend of mine. He told me that he heard when he was in. In Bangkok that some of the gay community there would call false alarms just so the cops would turn up.

00:54:34 John Daub: In those tight units, the. Oh, stop it.

00:54:36 Peter von Gomm: I'm totally serious.

00:54:38 John Daub: Stop it.

00:55:14 John Daub: I didn't go to that kind of school, man. I don't know. I don't know what kind of school you went to, but I never went to. I didn't have cops at my school.

00:55:25 Peter von Gomm: Hard knocks, John.

00:55:26 John Daub: Oh, they don't have ramen anymore. So a lot of people. Yeah, a lot of people come to this vending machine. They only have oden. But you can go to the. That nasty vending machine corner we went to a couple of years ago. Still there?

00:55:32 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that'll be there forever.

00:55:35 John Daub: It's pretty nasty. And yeah, you can see Abudha sobas still here. So a lot of the shops are still here. They're kind of struggling. Not a lot of people on this. On the streets. Did you want to get a drink, Peter? I can get your drink. Let us.

00:55:47 John Daub: You want it from a vending machine or you want it from a cafe?

00:55:50 Peter von Gomm: You're so classy, John.

00:55:52 John Daub: Well, I'm giving you the choice. Or a cafe. And I even pronounced it all trendy because you're like this one of these, you know, like, you like to dress up in all black and stuff and walk around the city. Do you ever paint your fingernails black, too? Because some of the people doing that.

00:56:16 Peter von Gomm: Where's your pith helmet, John?

00:56:18 John Daub: I'm dressed up in matcha. This is my matcha. All matcha. I want to be a matcha. Man, that's a really good song. It's a good song. What did you want to drink here?

00:56:35 Peter von Gomm: Well, if I have a choice between a vending machine and a cafe, I would probably take a cafe.

00:56:46 John Daub: It have to be takeout though, because I can't lounge inside. It's not a good time. Oh, hey, look at that. Joji would like this coffee. That's that demon's hand slayer in a coffee. Yeah, it's hot. You want that one, Peter? No, this one's hot. You want demon slayer coffee.

00:56:58 Peter von Gomm: But I can't close it up.

00:57:00 John Daub: You have to watch that big. You could just down it.

00:57:03 Peter von Gomm: You could try it.

00:57:05 John Daub: I don't think it's gonna taste different because it says dragon slayer. Okay. Like demon slayer. All right, let's just skip it. I think Demon Slayer has already been here. Look. They lopped it off and put it in the window. Back in the 1970s, a lot of the horror films. There's one with the two heads. They transplanted a head on top of a body. It was one of the worst horror movies. But as a kid when I was like nine, I remember seeing this 1970s horror film and it freaked me out. I was never the same.

00:57:47 Peter von Gomm: They stitched a head on.

00:57:49 John Daub: Yeah, they took a head off of a serial killer and put it on the head of some guy. And the kill, the serial killer took over and he started going around strangling people. And he couldn't do anything because the serial killer was the stronger half. Huh. It's pretty scary.

00:58:08 Peter von Gomm: This one I saw called Frankenhooker.

00:58:11 John Daub: That's not the kind of movie that I was talking about.

00:58:14 Peter von Gomm: It was a B rated movie. It's pretty funny actually. Frankenhooker. Check it out.

00:58:19 John Daub: Frankenhooker.

00:58:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:58:22 John Daub: How many stars did it get? What did Siskel and Ebert say?

00:58:26 Peter von Gomm: It was a beat.

00:58:29 John Daub: What are you laughing about? What did Siskel and Ebert say? What did Ebert say?

00:58:33 Peter von Gomm: I don't recall them reviewing it, but they should have.

00:58:37 John Daub: Was it from the 70s?

00:58:38 Peter von Gomm: No, it was in 80s.

00:58:40 John Daub: Oh, 80s, that's for the era of VHS. Quality went down. Total B movie.

00:58:45 Peter von Gomm: There's a coffee place over along the one. One block over.

00:58:52 John Daub: One block over.

00:58:53 Peter von Gomm: You know, you know, next to that place that sells Mr. Donuts. What? We gotta make it snappy. I gotta edit a fireworks video.

00:59:07 John Daub: Yes, we can go.

00:59:08 Peter von Gomm: Or a vending machine's fine. No, short on time.

00:59:15 John Daub: No, PBG. High class guy drinking canned coffee. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Wow, look at that. That could be you. You want to stand in there?

00:59:30 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:59:31 John Daub: Surrounded by lovely ladies of the enemy world. Who's your favorite out of all of these gals? The green haired one.

00:59:43 Peter von Gomm: Tough choice, John. I like the first one that caught my eye was Greeny over here.

00:59:47 John Daub: A greenie, but then green Goldie.

00:59:53 Peter von Gomm: Also a Goldie spot for that as well.

00:59:57 John Daub: How about you? I'm going to say none of them. None of them look like Kanae. What? That actually, that kind of looks Goldie looks like Kanae a little bit.

01:00:06 Peter von Gomm: Oh, come on.

01:00:07 John Daub: What?

01:00:09 Peter von Gomm: All right, we want to go this way.

01:00:11 John Daub: Oh, this way. Because there's a Mr. Donuts right there.

01:00:19 Peter von Gomm: Mr. Donuts. It's fine.

01:00:21 John Daub: No, I will go to your place, but my bicycle's over here.

01:00:25 Peter von Gomm: Let's walk it.

01:00:27 John Daub: Okay.

01:00:28 Peter von Gomm: I'll walk the bike.

01:00:29 John Daub: Do they still have the Pokemon donuts? Here? Here's the key.

01:00:34 Peter von Gomm: Okay.

01:00:36 John Daub: They sell the Pokemon donuts, and we can take a quick look. The door's open. No, I don't think so. I think they're gone.

01:01:01 Peter von Gomm: Donut sounds kind of good, actually.

01:01:03 John Daub: No, it's bad for your cholesterol, dude.

01:01:05 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, but I've got a defibrillator, so

01:01:10 John Daub: we could defibrillate cholesterol out of us.

01:01:29 Peter von Gomm: So you said you're gonna. You're working on a. A fireworks video.

01:01:33 John Daub: Yeah.

01:01:33 Peter von Gomm: Which one is that?

01:01:34 John Daub: It's the Kickstarter video. Just about done. But I gotta add in like 800 credits at the end of it. It's taken forever. Yeah, it's hard to focus. I put in like 50 of them, and then I get. I lose focus.

01:02:04 Peter von Gomm: And I hear you,

01:02:15 John Daub: You know, but I think. I mean, a lot of people are now farming their edits. They're. They're having somebody else edit their videos. But I always felt like I. I knew a bunch of them, but I always feel like the. Some of the magic comes in the editing, and it's like writing a book. The author. There's a style in that. Writing is. There's a style in my editing. So it's hard for me to outsource only in Japan to somebody else to edit. Yeah, it's hard, like, emotionally, too. Someone has to be in the same. Same emotional state. It's hard. It's kind of far away.

01:03:08 Peter von Gomm: You posted something also about Yuzu kosho.

01:03:11 John Daub: Oh, yeah. So I got. That episode's coming on February 7th, I believe. I went down to Kochi and I went to the factory and I watched them making yuzu kosho. So I went from the farm when they harvested it all the way to when the factory when they were processing it, and I took back, like 10 bottles. It's so good. Do you like yuzu kosho? I know Yuzu kosho.

01:03:41 Peter von Gomm: Yuzu is yuzu made from the yuzu, the fruit?

01:03:45 John Daub: Yeah.

01:03:45 Peter von Gomm: And basically peppers. Red peppers, like red peppers. And they grind it up and it's a paste that you put. Put on chicken, fish, vegetables. You can add it to anything. It's just so good, so flavorful.

01:04:00 John Daub: Yeah. You can put it on steak. I like it in soups. It's just. It's good on a cracker.

01:04:07 Peter von Gomm: I wouldn't go that far.

01:04:09 John Daub: I. I do cracker.

01:04:11 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

01:04:11 John Daub: Heck, yeah. Oh, here's our friend Gachapon Kaik. Just get a quick look. See, I'm gonna do an episode here. My buddy. I shouldn't say buddy. I've only. I know him quite well, but he's the owner of this. I guess it looks really quiet. He depended a lot on foreign businesses, but our foreign visitors to buy. But looks like business is kind of slow, so y'all come back and do an episode here. He lets me film in there. Nice guy. You know, one of the last times I was here was with Dan and Lincoln from What's Inside. And they. They did an episode in there cutting open a Gotcha palm machine. They interviewed Bill Gates yesterday. Yeah, they had Bill Gates on the show talking to him about the vaccines. Yeah, yeah. Talking about the MRNA or something. So once again, this is where we started the episode. And you can take a look at it in the playback. Every 29th day at Moss Burger, every 29th day at Moss Burger, they have the Niku Niku Niku burger. It's a beef patty with chicken and yakiniku. Kind of a loose. Yeah, beef and pork. But the bread, the bun is yakiniku.

01:06:06 Peter von Gomm: You know what? They served it to us upside down, John.

01:06:09 John Daub: That's true. Yeah.

01:06:11 Peter von Gomm: They did not serve it like that.

01:06:14 John Daub: You're gonna complain. I don't think they're gonna care back here on the 29th. I'm gonna turn this place upside down.

01:06:22 Peter von Gomm: I think they'd really appreciate that. They need somebody who gives them honest and direct criticism. Oh, is it this way? I can get you a taiyaki. Do you like taiyaki? No, you can't drink the taiyaki. Sorry. There's a taiyaki place there on the corner of Suehirochō Station. That's pretty good.

01:06:45 Peter von Gomm: And end it there. That's fine. Let's do that.

01:06:48 John Daub: How far away is your.

01:06:50 Peter von Gomm: I'll walk with you on your way back. Let's do that.

01:06:53 John Daub: Okay. All right. We're gonna take you to Taiyaki now because that's what we do. If you wanna. If you want some taiyaki, let's see if we can get to 800 likes. This is pretty weak. We're, like, at 551 likes. That's so weak. I know. It's a weak sauce. As a community, we could do better. See if we can get to 800 likes. I'm looking right now. Tim Lawson, stop and get yourself some coffee.

01:07:48 Peter von Gomm: We're look.

01:07:48 John Daub: We're trying to. We're looking for a coffee. So I'm gonna get. I'm gonna stop and get Peter a taiyaki. Well, I like the colors in some of those shirts, but I don't think I'd wear them in public. Could you. Would you ever wear an anime T-shirt in public? I mean, like, one of. Like one of. Like it's. It's totally covered in anime. Yeah. He said, yeah, why not? You wear it like walking around and stuff.

01:08:55 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, why not?

01:08:57 John Daub: Where there are people around. Like, not at night. You do it in the daytime to a job. Would you do it to a job?

01:09:07 Peter von Gomm: Well, yeah, but I'd keep my. My jacket zipped up until I was in the booth, and I would use it as inspiration.

01:09:20 John Daub: Look at them cleaning it. That's what I'm talking about. Dedication. What kind of Taiyaki do you want? They also have du.

01:09:38 Peter von Gomm: Oh, yeah. Custard cream, please.

01:10:09 John Daub: What do you want?

01:10:10 Peter von Gomm: Custard cream.

01:10:11 John Daub: Oh, you know what, Uncle? Custard cream. Of tattoo. I know a sweet potato. So this one has sweet potato in it and it takes six minutes to make it. So I can't wait around six minutes. So we passed. It's a. It's about 50 and more expensive. But this one, this is a. A good go to. It's some custard cream. This will really add to your cholesterol. That's what PBG want. There he is, hanging out underneath the sign.

01:11:28 Peter von Gomm: Oh, we got 38 subscribers. Nice job, guys. We have 38 new friends on the Serial Talker podcast.

01:11:38 John Daub: Oh, you have a YouTube channel too for it?

01:11:40 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So I'm uploading, making a video version of the podcast so you can see and hear. So it's a very simplified video, but it has some. Some motion in it and. Yeah, by all means, check it out.

01:12:03 John Daub: Here you go. And check this out. Peter, just take one. Are you gonna take mine?

01:12:11 Peter von Gomm: I'm greedy.

01:12:15 John Daub: We can eat it there.

01:12:19 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. These are cool. I've never seen the Taiyaki with the frame around it.

01:12:35 John Daub: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you wash your hands?

01:12:40 Peter von Gomm: He's got some over there.

01:12:42 John Daub: Okay, can I. Give me some alcohol to also to spray on me. Stay right here. I'm going to go spritz my hand.

01:13:09 Peter von Gomm: So usually the taiyaki is trimmed around the edge here. They don't usually have this background the frame.

01:13:15 John Daub: That's pretty cool. Yeah.

01:13:18 Peter von Gomm: All right.

01:13:20 John Daub: Should we eat it? Yeah, go ahead, do it.

01:13:27 Peter von Gomm: Only got frame in that one. Nice. That's beautiful.

01:13:40 John Daub: It's pretty. You would get go good with this coffee. There's a coffee shop right there. But that's not a good coffee shop. Sig is good. Is Sigfredo good? You want a Coffee from Sigfredo.

01:14:21 Peter von Gomm: Dang. Right? I do.

01:14:22 John Daub: Okay.

01:14:23 Peter von Gomm: I think bought me like several cups.

01:14:26 John Daub: It did do. Should I get it now? Yeah, it's going to take a couple minutes. We'll wait. It's still hot now.

01:14:41 Peter von Gomm: That's right. Well, we can do this after. We don't want to see us drinking coffee.

01:14:44 John Daub: Now, do you go head first or tail first?

01:14:48 Peter von Gomm: I think I already answered that.

01:14:50 John Daub: Oh yeah.

01:14:52 Peter von Gomm: You want to put them out of their misery, John?

01:14:57 John Daub: I can't do it. I thought I was being funny. It's good.

01:15:18 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, really good. Really? Really. Lots of vanilla flavor in it. Like real vanilla, not the. Not the imitation vanilla.

01:15:34 John Daub: This is one of my favorite Taiyaki shops because I come this way quite often. Click the like button if you like, Peter. And check out only. Only half of the audience likes A

01:15:52 Peter von Gomm: bunch of thumbs down.

01:15:53 John Daub: Only half the audience likes you. And check out his serial talker podcast where he's talking about crime and true stories, which is sometimes crime. Will you be talking about the true Ruby? This 30 million dollar Ruby that was not stolen.

01:16:03 Peter von Gomm: Why not? Was it just one ruby or was it a handful of jewels?

01:16:06 John Daub: Yeah, that was pretty nasty. They showed a picture of it. It was an uncut ruby. It looked like. Like wagyu steak.

01:16:17 Peter von Gomm: Wow.

01:16:17 John Daub: Just in the picture. It looked like a piece of meat. But it was a ruby. And it's one of the biggest rubies in the world.

01:16:23 Peter von Gomm: How can there be a misunderstanding? Either it's stolen or it's not stolen. How do you. How do you. I don't get it. What's. What's the. What's the background on the story? Maybe I should have you on the show.

01:16:35 John Daub: Okay.

01:16:35 Peter von Gomm: Well. Well, Peter, not right now, but later, apparently. Give us the nutshell.

01:16:41 John Daub: Apparently a call had been made to the police 110/119 saying that two people had run off with a ruby valued at 3 billion yen, which is $29 million. So the police, of course, when they heard that total started to rush in there, closed off the crime scene. But after interviewing the people, they found out that it was just a misunderstanding, which I don't think it was. Apparently the. The two. The two perps. What's the perpetrators? No, what are they using in Special Victims? No, no, they use a different word.

01:17:20 Peter von Gomm: Witness Protection program.

01:17:21 John Daub: No, not Witness Protection program. They use the. Anyways, the two people in question. Right. Or suspects. This is. No, they're not suspected of anything. Well, the two people in question. The two people in question. One of them was a lady and she was the owner of the Ruby and the other one was a salesman and they had a misunderstanding and the salesman couldn't sell it for a year. So the. The lady took it back and then the salesman made the call to the police.

01:17:52 Peter von Gomm: Oh, wait a minute.

01:17:53 John Daub: So he didn't.

01:17:53 Peter von Gomm: He didn't. The salesman didn't know that she was actually owner. Owner of it?

01:17:58 John Daub: No, she did. I don't know.

01:18:00 Peter von Gomm: All right, it's sketchy, so stay tuned. Stay tuned for the full story on the Serial Talker podcast. John will. Will get all the information and he'll share it with us.

01:18:13 John Daub: Did you ever do bungee jumping?

01:18:15 Peter von Gomm: I have not done it.

01:18:17 John Daub: It's kind of scary.

01:18:19 Peter von Gomm: What does that have to do with what we were just talking about?

01:18:22 John Daub: Nothing.

01:18:24 Peter von Gomm: Ted Bundy. Is that where it came from?

01:18:27 John Daub: No.

01:18:28 Peter von Gomm: True crime, Ted Bundy jumping.

01:18:32 John Daub: You watching anything on Netflix lately?

01:18:35 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I started watching at your advice. And I know you guys are gonna laugh when you hear this. I started watching the Office. I'd never seen it before. Of course I've heard about it. I heard about it and my son and I started watching it about three weeks ago or something. My son's 11 and he was dying laughing, as was I. It's so un.

01:18:58 John Daub: PC.

01:18:59 Peter von Gomm: That's what she said. Right, right, right, right. So.

01:19:04 John Daub: But it was funny because my son, he's. He's. He's fluent in English, but he's. His first language is Japanese, but he's still getting the jokes. And he looks at me, he's like, daddy. He's like the worst boss ever. Michael Scott. Michael Scott, yeah. Anyhow, so that's what I've been watching. I watched because I love true crime and documentaries. I just finished watching Night Stalker about that terrible guy, Richard Ramirez.

01:19:34 John Daub: I haven't seen that.

01:19:36 Peter von Gomm: It's good.

01:19:36 John Daub: I don't got a lot of time to watch Netflix, Peter.

01:19:40 Peter von Gomm: I highly recommend it. Find time, make the time.

01:19:43 John Daub: So you're quite busy.

01:19:46 Peter von Gomm: Obviously not.

01:19:48 John Daub: You just like showed your cars.

01:19:51 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

01:19:52 John Daub: So you're gonna get this Sony camera. The. It's quite pricey with tax. In the US it come out to about $7,000.

01:20:00 Peter von Gomm: Wow. That's way more than you've ever spent on the camera.

01:20:02 John Daub: Right. I was gonna get the FX6, which is a six thousand dollar camera. $6,500 with the tax.

01:20:08 Peter von Gomm: Who makes Sony? Oh, also okay.

01:20:10 John Daub: But the cinema camera, it had handle on it and I thought it would be just the form factor is quite nice. I canceled that because I heard a rumor about this camera from somebody.

01:20:20 Peter von Gomm: Wow.

01:20:20 John Daub: I don't know. I don't know who but it was a really nice camera. Yeah, the Sony Alpha rumors. Don't you know that website?

01:20:29 Peter von Gomm: Oh do they have like a people put post stuff on there?

01:20:32 John Daub: Yeah, but we was really surprising though when I heard your voice on the announcement. Global announcement. Worldwide.

01:20:42 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, it was a pretty, pretty slick camera. Yeah, I mean I, you know a lot more and you're, you're much more involved with cameras than I am. But when I was reading about it and the specs is just amazing. It's like, it's like every cinematographer's dream camera. It has everything you could possibly want except a flip out screen in the back.

01:21:04 John Daub: Yeah, we don't need that. Christopher Miller's agrees, he's happy. Thank you Christopher. And lovely Tekelo is here. Australia. Hello. How you doing? Good day. I don't, I think that's insulting.

01:21:15 Peter von Gomm: You can still say mate to a girl too, right? In Australia.

01:21:20 John Daub: Yeah, but she's not your mate. She's just, she doesn't know you.

01:21:22 Peter von Gomm: But that's how you say it.

01:21:24 John Daub: Just like, just go, you go around and Australia to strangers get. Good day mate. Yeah, good day mate. Right. Howdy. Howdy y'all. All. But you don't just walk around Houston in going, how do y'all, how do y'all, how do y'all? You didn't know what he does. You don't do that, do you?

01:22:00 Peter von Gomm: In Texas. I've never been to Texas but I imagine if I went to Texas I would want to fit in.

01:22:04 John Daub: You go around going, the dingo stole my baby.

01:22:08 Peter von Gomm: No, because the dingo hasn't stolen my baby.

01:22:10 John Daub: How come Americans always say that? Oh, can you do an Australian accent? They go, the dingo stole my baby. And I don't even know where this is this comes from. Is this a TV show or that's.

01:22:20 Peter von Gomm: It's that Meryl Streep. It's based on a true story, right?

01:22:24 John Daub: The dingo stole her baby. Seriously? Yeah, seriously.

01:22:29 Peter von Gomm: I'm totally serious. True story. Yeah. Glenn, Glenn Closer, Meryl Streep, one of those top actresses played the lady.

01:22:36 John Daub: My dinga stole my body baby and that line.

01:22:40 Peter von Gomm: Barbie.

01:22:40 John Daub: They put him on the Barbie. The baby or the dingo?

01:22:44 Peter von Gomm: The dingoes put the baby on the Barbie.

01:22:46 John Daub: Oh my Gosh. What is the name of this movie? Does anyone know?

01:22:50 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, what's the name of it?

01:22:52 John Daub: I don't know. Lovely. Take a look. Nice try on the Aussie accent. Sorry, we're bad, we're bad.

01:23:04 Peter von Gomm: If I hear somebody Australian speaking, I can do a much better job.

01:23:08 John Daub: That's not a knife. This is a knife, mate. Crooked out Dundee. Not good. Sounds like Michael Scott trying to do an Australian accent. Right? Yeah, sorry.

01:23:29 Peter von Gomm: Hilarious. So, yeah, what's the name of that movie? The Dingo Stole My Baby. That's not the real title. That might be the Japanese title. No, I know. All right, now it's a couple lot of.

01:23:46 John Daub: I have more questions and answers.

01:23:47 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

01:23:47 John Daub: Are we getting close to 800 likes, which was our. Our threshold cold. We failed.

01:23:51 Peter von Gomm: We got 65 more people, 1200 watching.

01:23:55 John Daub: Just not gonna happen.

01:23:56 Peter von Gomm: It's that little mouse on your desktop. You just click it.

01:24:00 John Daub: People are on smartphones these days, Peter. Most people watching on smartphones. Some people take your little.

01:24:07 Peter von Gomm: Your fat little fingers.

01:24:09 John Daub: Don't call your people's fingers fat.

01:24:11 Peter von Gomm: I got fat fingers. Just touch it. Touch that thumb up. Get close.

01:24:17 John Daub: That's a very disturbing individual. So today we got at the Gachapon defibrillator, which works incredibly. We defibrillated his finger and that's why he's. That his finger is quite lively because we defibrillated it. And we also got this button for Kanae. I wanted to get the ramen one. It came with a ticket, but if you push it, it works.

01:26:58 John Daub: No, his name is Paul Hogan. Yeah. Most famous, Ozzy. I would say Hugh Jackman, but he's kind of American now. And Nicole Kidman, too. She's kind of American.

01:27:10 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. They've lost their accents. We can do a better Australian accent than Hugh Jackman and.

01:27:16 John Daub: I don't think so. No, I don't think so. I think so. Are there any Americans that became Australians?

Not Hugh Jackman. Hugh Laurie. Dr. House. I heard you. Laurie in Dr. House. An interview with the British accent. Like, wow, he's a great actor. He could speak such so well with the British. With a British accent. It's because he's British and he was doing an American accent in House.

01:28:17 Peter von Gomm: Oh, wow.

01:28:18 John Daub: You didn't know that?

01:28:19 Peter von Gomm: I've never seen House.

01:30:10 John Daub: And I don't think Trevor doesn't mean it. Oh, hey. How you doing? Sorry. It's all right. Yeah. We have to find something for Trevor that is kind of insulting just so he could be representative there. Any. Any questions for Peter before we leave here before I buy him?

01:30:34 Peter von Gomm: Guys, thank you for checking out the Serial Talker podcast and the accompanying YouTube channel. Appreciate it. Feel free to subscribe. And I'll be doing that on a weekly basis so. So lots of stuff coming.

01:30:47 John Daub: Oh, look, check it out. They're doing the garbage right here and it smells really bad. But I'm. I'm actually fascinated with the garbage trucks in Japan because I. They have them in Tomy car. Right? Tomy car is like Matchbox car. I've been collecting Tomy car recently.

01:31:00 Peter von Gomm: Why?

01:31:01 John Daub: Why? Because they're. They're like miniature versions of cars, but they collect dust.

01:31:10 Peter von Gomm: Those little. Those little knickknack collections are a pain in the.

01:31:13 John Daub: The rear sort of smells.

01:31:15 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So we don't want to be around after we have that delicious takoyaki or taiyaki. All right, back to John. Thanks for joining, guys. Be seeing you again soon. Hand it back to the man so he can show you his favorite car. You going to get one of these?

01:31:34 John Daub: No.

01:31:35 Peter von Gomm: They have around town.

01:31:36 John Daub: No, I. You can play with it. It's small. You put it on your desk and drive it around. You can pick up trash.

01:31:42 Peter von Gomm: Does it smell like this?

01:31:44 John Daub: It doesn't smell like that. Don't try to be a wise guy. Get my bites. Did you lock it? I like how the garbage truck tells everybody I'm turning left. Please be careful of turning left. I don't know, but go press that button and run back here. I'll give you $5 if you do it. I'll be your best friend. Huh? No, you're not gonna do it. All right, everybody. No questions for Peter. It's crazy.

01:32:07 Peter von Gomm: Somebody asked me my favorite kind of beer. I love all. I love lots of different types of beer, primarily lagers. But I like. I like G beer. The craft beers, Japanese and Belgians, especially Belgian beers. Yeah, we haven't had a beer together in a long time since all this crap started.

01:32:31 John Daub: We gotta go hit Devil's Craft or something. Right now the numbers are starting to go down, but it's not the best time to be going in to crowded places. So we're trying to be careful going in off time, off peak times. And as you can see, the. Look around Tokyo right now, it's. It's not as crowded. Numbers are way down. And yeah, I'll be staying. I was staying home most of January when the numbers. When it's really high. So thanks everybody for watching and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. Hit that like button. Check out the new video that I did, Green tea at Mount Fuji. Leave me a comment because I will respond to it. Do you. Would you change from coffee to green tea because it's healthier? Would you?

01:33:16 Peter von Gomm: Probably not. No.

01:33:18 John Daub: Honest answer.

01:33:19 Peter von Gomm: Green tea does not excite me.

01:33:21 John Daub: It doesn't excite you because you. When was the last time you had it? Not.

01:33:27 Peter von Gomm: Not too recently.

01:33:29 John Daub: But why do you get. Why do you get so excited with coffee? It makes you impotent.

01:33:33 Peter von Gomm: Well, I don't need to be potent anymore. I already have a kid.

01:33:40 John Daub: Well, I'm just reading what the facts say. I don't know.

01:33:45 Peter von Gomm: So much more variety. And maybe I'm wrong about green tea, but is there lots of flavor varieties in green tea?

01:33:50 John Daub: Yeah, you can have hojicha, which is slightly burned, and you could have bancha or sencha.

01:33:57 Peter von Gomm: But look at, look at any of the tea shops in Japan. There's very few green tea shops, Zillion coffee shops. Because humans are more attracted to the flavors of coffee.

01:34:10 John Daub: Bye. Bye. This conversation will continue till the end of time.
