00:00:00 John Daub: Greetings! Welcome to the city of Tokyo. I'm back again for an okawari (second helping). I'm back because they said that there would be all new trucks if I came the next day and guess what? There are! There are all new trucks here. This is so cool. One, two, three, four, five, six trucks in this parking lot. It's called Tea Lunch. They're actually all over the city. I found about four or five more of them so I might go check them out. I guess this is what I'm going to be doing in August and September. Food truck runs and there's nothing wrong with that.

00:00:35 John Daub: Hey everybody! There's nothing wrong with that so we're going to get some more food truck here today. Now I see Yoshinoya. Yoshinoya has a food truck here too. Check it out. It says Yoshinoya so that's really interesting. I guess it's a franchisee, a chain that is also bringing us some gyudon (beef bowl) or is it an imposter? We're going to find this out. This is so exciting.

00:01:15 John Daub: Before we go ahead and get something, a bento bag to take to the park like this lady has right here, we're going to investigate the menus. I want you to remember what you see and kind of vote. We're going to have a vote. I'm going to have to go around the park and see what I can find because I can only get one lunch. However, I will get two because Kanae decided that she wants one. She was going to come but I think because of the situation it's better to keep Kanae and the baby at home.

00:01:26 John Daub: This one looks famous. Whenever they show clips of Japanese TV, this means that they're quite famous. This looks so good. What is this? It's like all sorts of grilled stuff on a bento. So far this is the winner because this is the first one. They have some tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) on there. Some more fried stuff. Wow and that's pretty reasonable about seven dollars for this.

00:01:58 John Daub: All right next up okay oh here's the menu. Michael Sasano is the first one that chimed in here. Here we go again looking for the more yummy truck food adventures. Let's see we could this but this butadon (pork rice bowl) is very high on my list check it out that's just pork with sauce on rice and the fried chicken sounds like something I had yesterday miso baked tilefish and miso baked pork bento that looks really yummy too. I like the fact that they have things in English for you guys to check it out and then there's kinds of delicatessen food bento that's sort of a mix. Boy this looks really good look at the sauce on there.

00:02:38 John Daub: All right keep that in mind let's look at the next one here this kitchen car and I guess in Japanese food trucks is called kitchen cars uh tonteki don (pork steak rice bowl) and this one has steak sauce A1 steak sauce on top of it and it's of course it's served in a box but that's what you get inside of it that looks pretty good it's eight dollars for this and you can get an increase in meat you can get 1.5 times the amount of meat for an extra 200 yen and you can get super meat W size I don't know what that means for another 200 on top of that so if you really like meat you can get double this if you want the volume. Ton and I guess this is pieces of pork and you can see the fats on there that looks really good too that's eight dollars as well and you can also upgrade the meat comes with rice and a little bit of a salad.

00:03:32 John Daub: This is an Okinawa bento and I guess it's the spam on there and they make the spam look like a um W or wide they make the spam on there to look like a heart to me that that wins my heart over although spam probably is not good for your heart but never mind that and then we have the mixed bento which okay probably just gets two herb sticks but not so many but you know you're gonna give them something a little bit of everything that looks really good too there's some um A1 steak sauce on that on that um sauteed I'm not sure if it's beef or pork and then there's a there's some more um uh another kind of pork over there on the side that one is is also a leading contender a little bit of everything there the truck's pretty cute too like they have a little little pig right there.

00:04:20 John Daub: And they got beer uh the drink menu there's no there's no actual beer on here because I think that this city of Tokyo is uh cracking down on beer sales outside trying to keep people from spreading this from lack of beer that looks great high side the Okinawa uh tonteki don check it out that's a lot of meat.

00:04:44 John Daub: All right this food truck here is it says Food Project so I don't know if that's the name of the restaurant a lot of these places do have um actual physical shops at a location this one looks great it's a tomato stew roasted pork and curry this looks healthy chicken nanban (fried chicken with tartar sauce) that's one of my favorites oh man chicken nanban and then they also have kima curry here which seems to be a popular one and then there's negishio (green onion salt) um what is it negi is the Japanese green leeks green onions with salt and uh karubidon so pieces of pork on there that looks really good too so this is also a top contender. I like the the sack of onions on the side that's a nice touch.

00:05:45 John Daub: Shane has brought the second bento thank you Shane no poutine if I see a poutine I'm gonna run away I might end up back in the park with nothing just out of fear um the lunch menu looks good here too bulgogi (Korean grilled beef) which is a Korean type of lunch so this is all right I guess this is more Korean influenced food um kind of like yakiniku (grilled meat) right it's a kind of meat seven dollars for that this is um spicy grilled chicken that looks good too look at the spice on it that looks good and that's it oh that's the um um bulgogi and this is half and half that looks good too I like it when they mix it all up bibimbap (mixed rice) that's like a um uh Japanese what do you call it um you mix you mix everything up in like a stone pot and sometimes the rice burns to the side and it's nice and crispy oh man I love bibimbap and spicy soft tofu stew this is some good stuff here and cold Korean noodles this is good all right so this is also a contender.

00:07:04 John Daub: All right now Yoshinoya truck and this could be possibly an imposter uh it doesn't look like a lot of people are are hanging out in front of the Yoshinoya truck but let's just check out the menu here I'm getting Yoshinoya truck but this looks really good too this is a gyudon it does look like the oh it is I don't think it's an imposter the recommended is the meat the um just the regular gyudon I would recommend that because I don't I don't think you you can come to Japan and not have gyudon uh and not have Yoshinoya even for a small bowl the prices are pretty reasonable although I do think it's a little bit a little bit pricier than at the shop but again you got to pay for the the driving around and the wheels and stuff like that and maybe there's some rent involved with this as well.

00:07:49 John Daub: This is interesting so this seems to be a food truck special the tororo gyudon bento so tororo (grated yam) is this kind of mountain potato when it's all mashed up it's nice and gooey and it soaks into the rice like that you can put a little bit of soy sauce in there to give it some saltiness and ah it's really nice wow and you can upsize you can upgrade the size and even downgrade it so the zero right here and you can see the um omori (extra portion) and then the sorry the like small omori the omori the special omori and then the super super super sized bowl for 400 and more you get even more rice and more gyudon that looks all pretty good but the Yoshinoya truck is not getting much love today. I guess you don't like when I come here to a food truck I kind of want to support local businesses not not chains so that's sort of against it.

00:08:48 John Daub: Oh there's a lot of people who are like oh this looks good this is the Hawaiian truck Hawaiian food is so popular in Japan this is the Hawaiian shiso (perilla leaf) truck this menu looks like it's been through a couple of battles taratara so I had this tartar sauce one yesterday so I'm going to pass on that and if you didn't see food truck yesterday I was at a food truck um here it was a lot less crowded but I think it was an hour later than I was live streaming now this is the tomato chili which looks great wow and then this is the coconuts and lemon oh this looks great coconut and lemon on chicken yum yum gimme some that's seven dollars for that that's really affordable and you can see them working through the through the little little window here yesterday this is where I got the the chocolate and caramel naan today it's Hawaiian this is so interesting right every day it's a different food truck I can see how people can get addicted to this.

00:10:38 John Daub: All right so I'm gonna I'm gonna walk over to the corner here and then we're gonna make a decision because the decision must be made. We're going to see what it is actually it's the um type I don't lick them but I put them on a sponge and it looks like miniature posters Tokyo 2020 posters on the back of the postcard it's kind of cool so thanks for joining all right so what do you think it is it's up to you now we got here Lee says get some Korean cold noodles that'll definitely cool me down coconut and lemon chicken rights and don pork with sauce Carlos is all in on mochiko the baked fish Hawaiian Hawaiian lemon chicken ooh meat kakona just writes meat Craig writes in pork let's keep it simple one word chicken nanban is definitely high on the list here get everything the first truck everything Hawaiian that chicken get it what is the chicken there's a couple of chicken places get more naan there's no naan here ah this is crazy Yoshinoya anything fried oh gosh the first truck the second truck.

00:12:23 John Daub: All right you know what I'm spinning right now I think the first truck looks the most interesting um the second truck had some good stuff and I like that spam with the heart mark that kind of won me over I don't know I think I'm going to get Kanae that that coconut lemon chicken because she seems to like Hawaii and coconut and lemon it just seems like a winner so let's get Kanae that to go and I'm gonna try maybe a little bit of this and a little bit of that so let's try this one this this one seemed to be the most interesting because it it's um it just it just looks like a cool truck all right let's let's try this out here which which was the one that I wanted to get here um the six kinds was that the one here yeah this the uh different kind might be interesting although that that fish looks good with the um miso all right I'm waiting in line now so number six is the actual recommended one it says here oh susume hey trekkers long time no see and Mark konnichiwa from Texas we love the channel all right so it's going to be about about two or three minutes before we get up to the front here but I've got the cash got a thousand yen for this here.

00:14:49 John Daub: Oh my gosh just like yesterday it is overflowing oh my gosh look at that the chicken's breaking through there's so much of it that's volume and was was there any dessert items here was there any dessert items here I'm gonna get Kanae the Hawaiian I think but I'm gonna open it up and give you a chance to look at it all right the lady just sort of wrote me a letter and I'm like oh I'm gonna get a book this is the most popular one here they've got a line you have to bring your umbrella though it's a sunbrella all right my bento just coming right now they move quickly here this is exciting.

00:16:11 John Daub: Wow look at the presentation of this wow it came with this it it came in a nice um uh container but they put a little wrapper around it so really does look like a bento now I forget I for what I for went the bag because I'm trying to save on uh on buying plastic bags here and they charge an extra five yen. All right let's go to the park here and chow down on this we're gonna be making our way back to back to the uh food trucks but let's go over the vending machine and get a drink. This feels like yesterday Shane this is deja vu it's like we were just here if they have a hall of fame for food trucks in this area I want to be a member I got to keep coming back here.

00:17:03 John Daub: All right does anybody know this is yesterday actually it is if you're watching the U.S do you remember what drink I got yesterday does anybody remember two points if you can recall no tapioca I this I got something from the vending machine before that awful tapioca drink I got the green tea exactly boom all right today we're going to go with I think jasmine tea because I really want to relax jasmine tea looks pretty good this is not a carbon copy of yesterday all new food trucks excuse me did you not see that all new there's a difference I think I gotta put the lunch down here totally new different food trucks just same place what if I did one week of just coming here and I ate at every food truck would that be pretty crazy imagine if I ate here I live stream every day from the same place that's insanity.

00:18:27 John Daub: It's still there you never know with the crows around here if you leave food around usually disappears pretty quickly all right off we go to the park follow that bento this area is loaded with mosquitoes and chairs to sit down so it's kind of a trade-off I think a mosquito bit me in mid walk here mid halfway I guess they the mosquitoes are waiting like a taxi's up there we're going to get some food here if we don't have one in the middle of the park we're going to eat here right away so this is going to be pretty cool like you wait for a taxi upstream try to get to the taxi before the other people do oh man I'm all itchy already oh that guy's sitting where I was sitting yesterday how can I social distance I see chan is still stuck in the trunk I can sit up higher I think I sat here yeah this is where I sat yesterday now it's deja vu yesterday was a little bit later so people had already eaten their bentos by the time yesterday came about I'm putting the tripod on you can oh you can hear the roar of the cicada they really are in the summer mode all right here we go.

00:20:25 John Daub: This is not a cemetery who wrote that there's a little tab here to open it hey John Kimura thank you you just got Kanae's lunch there and tdsdr dessert fund you got it I'll be back there and I'm glad that that chan is no longer there in the boot where are you wow this was so worth it oh is it is there something to oh look at this look at this it's two layers what did they do here so there's there's two decks on this that is quantity and quality indeed and it's healthy too wow all right you know what I gotta separate this here so I'm gonna use the plastic top here as a that's awesome what do you think of this this is this is a sweet little deal here that was that's eight dollars for this that's pretty good all right I'm gonna set the tripod up here and jasmine tea look George it says not enough rice that's probably a good thing oh that's good tea no sugar.

00:22:41 John Daub: Now this is Japanese cuisine they are hot don't worry about that these are heated hand down hmm itadakimasu they've got a little bit of sauce into the rice it's really good a nice flavor to it kind of a seafood seafood um flavor in the rice the Shane you probably wouldn't like this too much let's give this a try here this has a little bit of everything wow go with the kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) which is a piece of pumpkin I like that it's been simmered it's not too soft the um the outside or the skin of the pumpkin has some consistency a little bit of crunch but perfectly cooked the pumpkins are sweet kabocha kind of sweet so there's a saltiness and a sweetness that's really satisfying like caramel but it's not it's pumpkin salty caramel essence of that sort of mosquitoes are having a feast down there.

00:25:07 John Daub: All right next up fish it's a little piece of little piece of uh um bone that was so soft so soft slight saltiness kind of a slight saltiness a little bit of a I don't know I guess like a miso slightly I don't know if it's cod I'm not sure what it was I forget the menu oh it's so tender it's so soft delicate delicate piece of fish it's that's really good it's cooked yeah you know fish may not be for anybody but if you're gonna eat fish eat fish in Japan all right next up I'll put the other piece on the rice here let's try the renkon (lotus root) or lotus roots here oh man I love lotus roots nice and crunchy Shea Rock Shishi writes in here hi John I have a food truck in Hawaii one of my goals is to open a spot in Japan it will happen I believe it oh yeah let me know when you come to Japan I will go and eat there food truck in Hawaii Hawaiian food trucks are so popular here they're so popular.

00:27:36 John Daub: All right next up on this hit list there's more check it out this is like um a karaage (fried chicken) piece of I think this is fish whoa it's it's kind of wet there's some sauce in there I'm guessing it's a daikon (radish) so much flavor that's chicken yeah a little bit of a daikon daikon um dashi (broth) daikon dashi with the karaage and that the deep fried skin is is kind of moist it's really good oroshi (grated radish) not a lot of daikon though all right next up this is one of my favorite gobo sarada (burdock root salad) gobo is a burdock root and uh they make pretty good salads that's good there's a little bit of a kick to it maybe they added a little bit of mustard karashi (Japanese mustard) maybe just a little bit you need that kick it gives it personality and they have um beans in there which is a nice touch very nice touch.

00:29:35 John Daub: This is tamagoyaki oh this one looks good like the hole in it this is moist now tamagoyaki you add some dashi in there the dashi gives it like a moisture moistness to it that's um wow just Japanese tamagoyaki like a sweet egg it's just so good there's a shop in Tsukiji and Tsukiji is only a five minute walk from here we visited a tamagoyaki shop over there before and that was really good my feet are double sized now from all the mosquito bites it's worth it all right next up looks like a fish cake like a crab cake what does it ant on the gimbal this park is loaded with the loaded with insects critters can you eat the critters probably.

00:31:03 John Daub: This is a tale of two lunches everybody on the one side yesterday volume deep-fried tartar sauce volume I couldn't eat until like 9pm that day. I had to wait 9 hours before I was hungry again. David Kumada writes in here, extra food funds for your family. Thank you David. I'm bringing back something for Kanae and maybe I'll get some dessert as well. Because we have a call for that. Thank you. Yeah, you know what? I'm not getting boba tea. I'm not getting any tapioca milk. Alright? That's nasty. I could use bug spray. I'll live. This was a treat. You know, boba tea is natural mosquito repellent.

00:32:41 John Daub: Yesterday's lunch was more volume. It's more of a stamina lunch I guess you would call it. You just put a lot of stuff on there and it gives you energy. This was more like gourmet. They had a little bit of really delicious stuff and it was prepared very well. Prepared very well. I'm not sure they've ever done to it in person. I think it's pretty good. I don't think it's really good when you do it on your own. I'll take it out of the container. Food the color the textures and the experience that the that the customer or the eater is going to have and if they have a good experience in Japan they're going to come back so on Thursdays this truck is here every Thursday so if I like that truck I can come back here to that kitchen car and get the same thing and I like that um there's a consistency a pattern to it yesterday that truck wasn't there I think they're going around to different locations around Tokyo shifting and that's really good because they're thinking about the customer right they're thinking about adding uh different kinds of food for variety and that keeps people coming back so I came back today only because they said they're going to switch the trucks and they did.

00:34:39 John Daub: And don't scratch those bite marks it makes it worse this isn't eel this is a kind of fish we'll go figure it out there's butter a little bit of miso and which gives it a salty taste and a little bit of saltiness I taste the butter on that one there it's so good but the rice has seaweed in there little pieces of um of uh vegetables very healthy yeah what is that a little bit of spice in there just bento five out of five perfect volume too you don't need more than this I didn't need more than this it's perfect all right let's head back let's head back because I'm getting eating oh my gosh I'm so itchy I wasn't the only one that had lunch today Cobra Bebop I am on that team sign me up mosquitoes are blood-sucking leeches same category as Toby (crow) except there's too many of them.

00:37:01 John Daub: I saw the blueberry chips at Don Quixote um they they expired though the expiration date was August 2020 so they got to be eaten um but I'm not gonna buy them because it's just nasty blueberry gum potato chips let's go back to the food truck area looks like it's gonna rain it's also the Docomo rental bicycles with the battery powered in there it's a parking lot for them right in front of the food truck I guess they don't have a gomi bucket or trash can I feel bad throwing this away here I'll just put it in my bag wrong all right what kind of fish as soon as it none of the fish was it amadai what's it called in English when I looked it up it said something like this delicatessen not delicatessen but this one tilefish oh tilefish I see that was good wow so he said that it's called tilefish and they they put a little bit of miso in there it seemed like it was sort of a secret so I didn't want to push too much but was a little bit of butter I could taste a little butter and there was some miso in there it's just delicate that is such a gourmet experience at bento there um so i i'll come back you know this isn't too far away from my house i'm just go i'm just going like this the whole time because i got completely obliterated.

00:39:46 John Daub: All right um the Korean food looks really really good too and so did that one over there check out that that mound of meat goodness but i think Kanae wants the um the coconut she loves coconuts she loves Thai cuisine too i don't feel bad for Yoshinoya at all so let's get Kanae something to go and see if we see if there's any kind of dessert so we're going to get the coconut and lemon for Kanae but is there dessert does Yoshinoya have dessert i might just have to go to can i just go to Family Mart i have to get something for dessert i promised toppings no there's no dessert today yesterday they had the caramel chocolate naan so today there's no dessert so i'm gonna get Kanae's uh coconut lemon thank you so much John Kimura and Shane and i'm gonna go i'll go to a convenience store to avoid the tapioca if we get 750 likes i'll get the tapioca it's all up to you.

00:42:32 John Daub: So that's awesome so there's five different food trucks that they have all around Tokyo and they're just food trucks and they're serving Hawaiian cuisine that's pretty cool right I never get the all right a little alcohol thank you why i say thank you all right i'm gonna i'm gonna open this up and just see what it looks like i'm gonna ask someone here who owns this store if someone if someone knows of any food truck it might be the same or so i asked who that meant well up Kanae's and see if it was better than mine so you can be the judge i just want to see if it was better or where can i open this up and not be totally gross all right right on the street here it's all good just as long as okay all right let's see what Kanae's had was Kanae's better than mine so far it's gonna be tough one but check this out credit for having their own um container with their company logo on it this is really good they've had food trucks since 2005.

00:44:03 John Daub: All right let's open it up i'm not eating it this is for Kanae whoa that looks awesome look at that deep fried chicken with coconuts and lemon oh this is going to be great we're going to have to reheat it a little bit but it's it's still pretty hot it'll be hot when i get home i don't live too far away from here all right Kanae you're getting a good one i'm kind of jealous but i i don't think i don't think you could go wrong i don't think i could go wrong um anything i got was going to be pretty good so that's the food truck area from uh in Ginza this is called Tea Lunch and i believe i'll put i put a link in the description of the yesterday's video i came here yesterday and if you're interested to see what it looked like yesterday it was different i came at a different time so there were less people after the lunch rush it was a little bit more relaxed it was pretty relaxed right now too wow i'm i feel not as heavy as yesterday yesterday was really heavy.

00:45:13 John Daub: All right tdsdr let's go get a dessert um i'm gonna have to do it inside of the Family Mart though it's not it's not ideal no tapioca okay all right so what are we getting for dessert here keep it simple don't get too excited let's see what we can get here deja vu i was just here oh the wrap sandwiches are so good see they're pretty good and they've upgraded it to premium type of bread here but you can't go wrong with that chicken salad with the egg salad you know what i'm talking about oh that's interesting this is um choux cream (cream puff) with red bean paste and molasses a lot of stuff looks good kiwi a biscuit sandwich let's see if they have any unusual it's half and half chocolate and double chocolate you know what i think that this um looks good but this um I don't know what do you think the creme brulee all right let's get this this is the burnt banana pudding cake all right that looks that looks pretty good.

00:48:18 John Daub: All right let's go back to the same spot I was yesterday I don't use a point card this is bonus time no tapioca because we didn't get there yet was that air to the Ron air to the Ron did I miss something Family Mart or Lawson's Family Mart that's easy although Lawson's is making a comeback Lawson's has Lawson's has always been 7-11 of course is that is the king right now Lawson's has always been number three but when I came to Japan they were quite popular but they never really upgraded you know what I mean where the rest of Japan started to upgrade Lawson's kind of stayed the same 7-11 upped their game Lawson's stayed their same you know nothing wrong with that but again like if you if you ask people personal preference Lawson's or 7-11 is top but if for a lot of um it depends also regionality is important some places there aren't as many 7-11 some places there aren't as whoa I gotta do this again this is the burnt banana why would they burn those bananas pudding cake it's not pudding it's not cake it's pudding cake oh not big but it's not small well it actually it is small it's not insignificant so I'm trying to say the Smell Test ooh smells like burnt banana very tropical no cinnamon a little bit of caramel maybe.

00:50:17 John Daub: I'm trying Chicago African I'm trying to encourage Kanae to do her on YouTube channel I think she's gonna do it I think she just needs a little bit of time we both have her hands full with with the baby I have to tell you, it's like a full-time job. All right, itadakimasu. Part three, two, one. That's good. I could dance to this. I have some banana brulee. I have banana. I have brulee. It's not pudding. It's not cake. It's pudding cake. Whoa. Hey, guess what? I heard that Michael Jackson, I not heard. I found out that Michael Jackson did not originate the moonwalk. It was actually being done in the 1950s or 1930s. Somebody had done it. It's interesting news. I thought that Michael Jackson had invented the moonwalk. It was not true.

00:51:43 John Daub: Adding that information. I'm looking out for questions here. Moonwalk came from the street, man. What does that mean? It actually came from... Anyways, if you search it on the internet, you see the first one from the 1930s. It's pretty interesting. They have it on TV. I thought that was pretty cool to see that. It's basically like a bread pudding with the banana taste to it. You can check it out. I think the video says a thousand words here. It's basically like bread pudding. See that? It's got that kind of consistency. And the bananas on top, you don't want to eat them all like this. It's kind of take a bite of the banana and take a little bit of the pudding. Okay. But it's not a... It's true. It's not really a pudding or it's not really a cake. It's like a bread pudding. And bread pudding isn't very popular in Japan, the English version of it. So, I guess they don't know how to market it. But I guess that's what it would be. Fred Astaire did the moonwalk as well a couple of times. I thought that that was interesting to see Fred Astaire. I'm a big fan of Fred Astaire. When I was growing up in the 80s, if you could dance, everybody asked, so you think you're some kind of Fred Astaire. Nobody says that anymore.

00:53:22 John Daub: It's not too sweet either. I mean, it's pretty sweet, but it's not... You'd think it would be like caramel sweet, like really sugary. It's not. James Brown did it too. Man. Michael Jackson though, at the Motown 25, I think it was the event. He just did that one. It's like we'd never really seen it before, but we probably had. We just never seen it on the stage like that. I don't know. It popped up in my YouTube feed. What are you going to do? I don't remember searching for it. I don't know why it was recommended to me, but I saw it. It was like, that's pretty cool.

00:54:08 John Daub: All right. I'm almost finished with the edited video. A lot of people have been asking me about the other channel. It's almost finished. I got the 8K is a little bit heavier to edit. I forgot to use proxies, so it's a little bit... It takes me a little bit longer, but it's about done. Rodney Dangerfield did not invent the moonwalk. Trust me. Check out the video. Bill Bailey, right. Dancer Bill Bailey did it. I forget what it was called. The backslide, I think it was called. The backslide. Yeah. You know, the only thing with the food truck today that I'm disappointed about is the fact that they didn't have dessert. And yesterday we found caramel chocolate naan. And at the end of the live stream, I complimented the chef and he said, thank you. I thought that was kind of cool.

00:55:13 John Daub: All right. I'm going to jettison that and this bento package, which leaked in my bag. I knew it. Really? Thankfully, I have the napkin from yesterday to clean out my bag. I knew it was going to do that. Better not use my sleeve again. I got in trouble using my sleeve as a napkin. Who does... Everybody does that, don't they? You use your... You go like this. I've been doing that since I was a kid. No one ever complained. Hisoko writes in, I don't. I'm 34 and still single. It's all right. I was 40. I didn't get married till I was like 44. So, it's plenty of time.

00:56:19 John Daub: All right, folks, that's about it. This is where we ended the last live stream. I'm going to scratch. Thank you to the Family Mart right here. I'm going to scratch now. I got a lot of scratching to do. This was bad today. Oh, man. All right, tomorrow's live stream. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, but I got a couple of email messages to collaborate with local YouTubers here, and I might just go ahead and do that. It's a lot of fun to collaborate. Again, like, I don't do that a lot, but, you know, I had so much fun with Eric Berg just hanging out. You know, I think it's good to make some friends here. Except it's not. I'm not dancing. I'm scratching. It's not the best time to be doing that, though, right? To having collabs and meeting up with people because this Delta thing is real. And thanks a lot for everybody who's been sharing their concerns with me. I really do appreciate that.

00:57:19 John Daub: I don't know if it's the best time to collaborate. Somebody asked me about the main channel, and I had to respond to them because I feel like the response is needed. All of the live streams are going to be on there. All of the location shoots, all of them collapsed with the state of emergency. Everything that I was going to film and everything that I needed to film for insert shots, gone. I should have filmed them the first time around. So I have a lot of videos that are just incomplete that can't be finished right now. That's why I did the Olympic one. So that's coming. I think I'll have it up by tomorrow. I do the narration today, and I should have it up by tomorrow. But it'll feel good to get one out there, and then I get the schedule rolling again.

00:58:01 John Daub: I do have an assistant, a new assistant, which is a pretty cool feeling to help me out now with the location shoots and to set them up. Because handling multiple location shoots with Japanese locations and doing back and forth with multiple people, it's a tiring thing. They require a lot of service that I can't really give because I got Leo in one hand and everything else in the other. But the last two months, I was able to sort some stuff out. And now... Yeah. It's coming back. So I definitely needed an assistant. Everybody needs one. And I'm going to pay her. Of course, you don't pay with experience and stuff like that. You actually have to pay... I think if you want a good assistant, you have to pay them well. So that's what I'm going to do. And I appreciate the support. If you want to help support it, you could go on Patreon, join the postcard club. This is from Nihonbashi with an Olympic stamp. On the back of it. 2020. Looks like an Olympic poster. It's a pretty cool stamp.

00:59:08 John Daub: All right, everybody. I will see you tomorrow, I think, as I work off this bento, which is really good, and get it to Kanae before it gets cold. I'm not going to pay them in Mr. Donuts. Actually, I'll see if that's an option. Thanks, everybody. Have a good day. Have a good night. I appreciate it. And I'll do some more food trucks. I'm curious to see what the other days of the week and the other locations are like. Now that I've sort of gone. I've gotten in on the food truck scene. I think I'm going to do a little bit more of it. If you like that, click the like button. That should get you cooking like. Have a good day, everybody. Bye.
