00:00:00 John Daub: At a very, I guess, culturally important site for roads, because this is where the mile marker zero starts, where all roads lead to Nihonbashi. And I'm going to show you the marker in a second, but we're going to be talking and taking questions on the Hokkaido Motorcycle Adventure 2022 for Only in Japan. This is every year we like to do something bigger than life. And that guy whose back has turned to us is going to be in on the project this year. Hello, sir. We see you.

00:00:29 Peter von Gomm: Wow.

00:00:31 John Daub: That's right. You zoomed in. That's what we can do. Technology. He actually has a scooter or a motorcycle over there. So maybe we could show you a little bit of that. Sure.

00:00:41 John Daub: This is going to be, hold on a second. Let me just get through the overview. This is going to be taking place from July 28th to August 6th. Peter and I are going to be riding motorcycles for the first stage of this, going from New Chitose Airport around Noboribetsu, Niseko, which is with great skiing in the winter, but beautiful in the summer, around the other side, the Sea of Japan and then all the way around through Otaru and Sapporo back to New Chitose Airport.

00:01:07 John Daub: Then we're getting in RVs going around the entire east. One RV. Not his and hers or his and his RVs. We're getting into an RV and we're going to the east and the north side of the Hokkaido. And we're going to be coming all the way down, showing you wonderful things, including the local foods. We're going to try to support as many local businesses as possible. Introduce the Ainu culture. Dive as deep as we possibly can in only nine days. Yes. It's going to be epic. There's this modern word to describe it.

00:01:32 Peter von Gomm: Legendary?

00:01:35 John Daub: Legendary works too. Legendarily epic. Freaking awesome. Epically legendary.

00:01:43 Peter von Gomm: All right. You know what? Let's just show them the map.

00:01:44 John Daub: All right. Here's the course we're going to be on. And then I also want to say to everybody, believe it or not, we've already passed our initial goal, which was one million yen. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The majority of the costs so we don't take a loss.

00:02:02 Peter von Gomm: It's really heartwarming because John and I were like, what if nobody pledges? What if nobody loves us anymore?

00:02:10 John Daub: I don't think that, but I do worry about.

00:02:12 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I know you're a worrywart. I was worried a lot.

00:02:15 John Daub: All right. This is from the video. Does this map accurately represent what we're going to do?

00:02:19 Peter von Gomm: Because I made this up.

00:02:20 John Daub: Yeah. So, OK, we're going to be the first leg of this is on the motorcycles. We're going to fly into Chitose Airport here, which is right here. We're going to pick up our bikes and then we're going to head down south and west towards Noboribetsu. Now, over here is Lake Toya. Toyako is a big, beautiful crater lake. We'll be staying here.

00:02:46 Peter von Gomm: Oh, that is it a log cabin?

00:02:48 John Daub: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Cabin staying here two nights and doing some day rides into back to Noboribetsu and Noboribetsu is kind of Hell Valley. There's lots of volcanic activity there and onsen and things. And then in the evening, we're going to we're going to hit Muroran for their annual—

00:03:11 John Daub: Look at Lamborghini. Beautiful baby blue. Look at that. Hey, that same color shirt.

00:03:16 Peter von Gomm: Let's trade.

00:03:17 John Daub: Actually, that is the same color shirt. Yeah. Knock on the door. Maybe he'll back us. Win Lambo. Yeah.

00:03:26 John Daub: That's actually wow. Do it. Do it, dude. Come on. Oh, man. It's— It's convertible as well.

00:03:34 John Daub: All right. All right. Back to. Back to reality. Powder blue, right?

00:03:37 Peter von Gomm: Yes.

00:03:39 John Daub: Muroran. So the on July 29th, Muroran is having their annual fireworks. So our plan is to go here, weather permitting, then we will head back up this way to Niseko, which is the best powder in the world for skiing for skiing.

00:03:57 Peter von Gomm: Well, we won't be skiing, John.

00:03:58 John Daub: Yeah, because it's summertime. There's no powder there at all.

00:04:01 Peter von Gomm: What are you talking about? Like clay? Like clay powder or some kind of—

00:04:03 John Daub: Well, we might be able to do some sort of grass skiing or something. Who knows? But we're going to check out this area. We're going to stay here at night and then we're going to we're going to head to Otaru, which is a really quaint, really beautiful little port town.

00:04:20 Peter von Gomm: I know you've been there.

00:04:21 John Daub: Yeah. And then we'll head over to one night in Sapporo.

00:04:26 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, the big city. Right. That concludes our motorcycle part. The next day we ride back to New. New. New. She told the airport.

00:04:34 John Daub: Exactly. To exchange it for. An RV.

00:04:37 Peter von Gomm: Do you have a picture of that?

00:04:38 John Daub: I do. I do have a picture of that. I'll take this map for a second. We're going to do the second part of the map here. We're going to talk about the rewards in a second and take some of your questions, too.

00:04:48 John Daub: I see Katayama is here. I know I was we were going to ride in as well, but we don't have we have sort of a limited amount of time today, but we will be doing that to promote the Kickstarter as much as possible.

00:05:01 John Daub: You got the Kickstarter. Okay. I just felt a raindrop to another reason why.

00:05:06 Peter von Gomm: Oh, it's on the phone. The rain. What do we have to click to see the.

00:05:11 John Daub: Well, first, let's show them the goal. So we've already exceeded the goal. Go back here. So one point five—

00:05:16 Peter von Gomm: Yes. Wow. It's it keeps going up. Thank you, people. My goal is to get we have a hundred and forty seven backers. My goal is to get the five hundred backers. So even if you're just supporting with a buck or you want to get a postcard for fifteen bucks, you're joining us on the adventure. That means a lot here.

00:05:31 John Daub: Okay. I think it's read more about this project and then I can show you we can show you the RV here.

00:05:39 John Daub: Yes. So we're we're getting an RV from this this Japan's largest RV company. It's called the CRC camping car rental company, Japan. Really nice peeps. I've worked with them before. One RV.

00:05:50 Peter von Gomm: One RV.

00:05:51 John Daub: Very spacious. Very spacious. Enough for two large men.

00:05:57 Peter von Gomm: Yes. Plenty for two large men.

00:05:58 John Daub: We'll be trading off. You'll be driving. Sometimes I'll be talking.

00:06:05 Peter von Gomm: I'll be driving. Sometimes you'll be talking.

00:06:09 John Daub: Sleeping. And so lots of talking, lots of driving and lots of fun along the way.

00:06:15 John Daub: Why do you want to do this trip with me?

00:06:18 Peter von Gomm: It's the greatest question out there, John. Because nobody else was available. No, I didn't. Wasn't looking for it. Well, it was this pretty bad question here.

00:06:28 John Daub: All right. First of all, we've never really done a stream outside of Tokyo, have we?

00:06:33 Peter von Gomm: We haven't done much.

00:06:34 John Daub: Well, we have on the train ride. Oh, right. That was the first one last year or 2020. Outside of town. Yeah. We were on the Seven Stars of Kyushu, the glamorous train. Discovery Channel.

00:06:46 John Daub: So we've done some projects outside, but this is the first one up in Hokkaido and the first one in a while.

00:06:52 John Daub: Well, firstly, I've been, as many of you have seen on the video, I have been in Hokkaido by motorcycle three times now. Wow. This will be the fourth. And it's just a fantastic place where the roads are wide open, way fewer people, but just as fantastic of Japanese culture and food. And it's really amazing.

00:07:19 John Daub: John has explored the island by car and by foot. One second. Dominique, thank you for pledging 3,000 yen. I'm getting the notifications. So if you pledge now, if I see the notification, I'll shout it out. Thank you. Thanks so much.

00:07:49 John Daub: So yeah, Hokkaido is a fantastic place. In the summertime, I was thinking about this this morning. So in America—

00:07:49 John Daub: Sorry. So in America, bikers, they love to go to Sturgis, which is the big biker rally.

00:07:57 Peter von Gomm: Oh, yeah.

00:07:58 John Daub: And people go there year after year after year. They go back, back, back. Well, Japan, the bikers go to Hokkaido. So we're going to see lots of bikers there. And the reason they go back, because it's just a blast. It's an incredible place to ride. And the weather is more clement. It's not humid. And, oh, man, we're just going to have a fantastic time.

00:08:22 John Daub: I'm pretty excited because I— Look, for this channel and for everything I do in my life, I want to stay curious. I want to stay fresh and fun and do new things. I've never— A couple of years ago, I'd never bungee jumped before. And that was an exhilarating experience that I'll never do again. But motorcycling is something that I always wanted to do, maybe because you were doing it and I wasn't. I just didn't feel that was fair riding, you know, backseat or sidecar. I think it was time to step up. And now that I got the driver's license and now a motorcycle license, I'm hoping that this is a tool that I can use to show you other angles of this amazing country.

00:09:01 John Daub: Mm-hmm. Now, the rewards for this project are pretty cool, I think.

00:09:07 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. We didn't know if we were just going to do all digital, which is the postcard. Let's start with that and then the documentary, which is the main base why we're doing this. The postcard is not digital. Postcards are not this—

00:09:16 John Daub: Right. Here's— Hold these up here. These are the two samples from the postcard club that we had in— Sorry, from last year and 2020. We found an amazing artist named Dakota. Let me just zoom in on this first postcard. You can see the details in it. He does it— I don't know, in this really, like, very Japanese-like— He was very into ukiyo-e, which is—

00:09:39 Peter von Gomm: Ukiyo-e, right. A good block print type art. You can see there's Leo Kanae and I in the background, so we love to add Easter eggs. We had this thing with ducks going on here, and I went and visited the snow monkeys recently. There's Matsumoto Castle with the fireworks. That was last year's card, and this is two years ago. There's Kanae and I on a bridge, but pre-Leo. And we're at a Japanese fireworks festival. Looks like maybe Kyoto or something, but very beautiful with the fireworks above. He just had a really great aesthetics and style to it.

00:10:11 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. And we've already seen some of his designs and sample designs, which I think we can— The postcard. Yeah, we can try to pull that up in a second. But the design and the cover art, that's really the base, I guess. It's really important for us to have something like this to promote it, to look back on. Just like a poster for the Olympics or a movie. You need to have some sort of iconic art, and Dakota's really good at it.

00:10:36 John Daub: Well, and the elements that he's creating for— The artwork that he's creating for the postcard will also be used in the other goods that we are offering, which are a tenugui.

00:10:48 Peter von Gomm: Tenugui, yeah. Which I think you have some examples of that.

00:10:52 John Daub: Tenugui. Yeah, I got— In fact, I have four samples we got from the company that'll be printing it out. We'll show you those. Right. And an echo bag. Ethan has just backed—

00:10:59 John Daub: Ethan, thank you, backed with 20,482 yen. Wow, thanks, Ethan. Wow, awesome. And there's another notification that just came up on and off real quick.

00:11:18 John Daub: So, yeah, so the goods will all be including this iconic original art that Dakota is creating for us. So stay tuned for that. We don't have the exact samples yet for you, but we will in due time. And, yeah, it's going to be a really wonderful project. It's going to be a really wonderful time. What's a tote bag?

00:11:30 John Daub: What's the difference between a tote and an echo bag?

00:11:32 John Daub: Elliot has pledged 3,000 yen. Thank you, Elliot. Thank you, Elliot. Cheers. What's the difference there?

00:11:37 Peter von Gomm: So, well, an echo bag is like a shopping bag, right? They're oftentimes made from recyclable materials.

00:11:44 John Daub: Samuel has pledged 1,500 yen, and Chris has pledged 5,100 yen. Thanks, guys. Wowzers. This is going to be awesome.

00:11:54 Peter von Gomm: So, yeah, an echo bag is just— You can use it for taking to get groceries at the store. So you don't have to litter the earth with plastic bags. But also you can take it to the beach or whatever.

00:12:04 John Daub: Yeah, it's like a tote, an echo bag shopping bag. Tote. We're going to have a sample of that in maybe the next live stream or on the trip. Well, not that soon, perhaps. We'll have a sample of it to show you, but it is really cool. And we'll post this on the Kickstarter page so you can take a look and see what you're actually buying. Kickstarter doesn't allow us to add sample photos for some reason.

00:12:26 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, it's odd. It's odd. We'll add it into the project and then project updates. So we'll show you the stuff here.

00:12:33 John Daub: But one note I want to give everybody who backs the Kickstarter project, make sure that your email address is correct and then you log into your Kickstarter to look at the project updates. I always notice that when I put a project update up there, we get like five likes. Maybe because everybody's reading it on email. But make sure you don't lose your password.

00:12:52 John Daub: Right? Make sure you don't lose your password. Make sure that you're checking in on the project because the project updates are going to be how we share with you the end of day updates. So we can kind of explain what happened during the day and then what is going to happen the next day to bring you with us.

00:13:08 John Daub: And one of the points that's important is regarding shipping. Many people have asked about, well, my country is not included in this. Well, little by little, countries are opening up and they're allowing shipping or deliveries from Japan. So we're adding them. So if you are interested in backing one of the projects that require shipping and you don't see your country listed there, please let us know. We will research it. And little by little, we're adding more countries.

00:13:45 John Daub: Yeah, because of the Omicron back in 2021, Japan suspended mail to Australia and Canada, which is still suspended, which is crazy. A lot of countries went offline because of the war in Ukraine, which is going, which is a— Yeah.

00:13:52 Peter von Gomm: You know, really awful situation that's disrupted postage going to Europe. The UK is back as of about two weeks ago. There's that blue Lambo again. There's that powdered Lambo. That guy's showing off. Oh, my gosh. Come on back here and stop at the powdered blue boy right here. Back us.

00:14:07 John Daub: So the UK is back on for mail and a couple of countries, Indonesia is back. So we've added that. Yeah, Satooriyo, I think you've already backed already the Solo package. So just let us know. We're going to see what the situation is for the Solo and the two riders. We're doing something unique with that, right?

00:14:29 John Daub: Those two packages?

00:14:30 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Yeah.

00:14:31 John Daub: Because the family and the— Because EMS, which is the only way to send to the United States, is really expensive. It's like three. It starts at 3,900 yen, which is like 30 bucks. We're going to be— We don't like that.

00:14:46 John Daub: And we believe that airmail will start up again in September.

00:14:48 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:14:49 John Daub: So we're charging half, less than half that. And if it doesn't, then we have to do by C-mail. Xavier, thank you. 5,000 yen pledged. Appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. Thank you.

00:14:59 John Daub: So yeah, as John mentioned, some of the shipping is the EMS is not— Or EMS is available, but it's very expensive. Two to three days shipping. We prefer to send this by airmail, which is quite— It's much more affordable, but that's not open yet. So we have put the price in for C-mail. And if it opens up, we will send it by airmail. So please stay tuned for that.

00:15:23 John Daub: Yeah. And we will try to get everything to people who are backing us in as timely a manner as possible. Australia and Canada are open for postcards and mail and envelopes, but not for any kind of packages. It's just such a tough situation. EMS is just really expensive. It starts at 500 grams for 3,900 yen, and it goes up like 500 yen for every 100 grams.

00:15:51 John Daub: Right. So we picked items that were relatively light so that you could share in the trip but not have to pay so much for—

00:15:57 John Daub: That's a Bentley.

00:15:57 Peter von Gomm: Oh, it's a Bentley? Beautiful blue, yeah.

00:15:59 John Daub: What? It's a blue Bentley went by. It's got to be quicker to the draw.

00:16:04 John Daub: Let's show them some of the— Do you have the Tengui on you?

00:16:10 Peter von Gomm: The Tengui?

00:16:11 John Daub: Tengui. I always call them Tengui because the U is hidden in my accent.

00:16:19 Peter von Gomm: Excuse me. I know. Excuse me. Yeah, Tengui has a different meaning. Somebody else just backed. Thank you for backing it. My guy just flashed on the screen real fast.

00:16:31 John Daub: So Peter's holding them. Go ahead, Peter.

00:16:35 Peter von Gomm: These are not— This is not the design we're using, but this is what a Tengui is.

00:16:44 John Daub: That's nice. Yeah, you can use it. You can put it on your wall. You could put it on a tabletop as like a dust or something to protect your hall table or whatever, but it will have a unique original artwork on it, and you can also tie it around your head like John does, like Ralph Macchio.

00:17:04 John Daub: Hey, hey, I'm sensing some sarcasm in your voice.

00:17:08 Peter von Gomm: Right. Or you could put it around if you're sleeping in a very—

00:17:11 John Daub: Well, you want to take the hat off, Vincent Price.

00:17:15 Peter von Gomm: No, I'm showing you can use that as a blindfold.

00:17:19 John Daub: All right. So if you're sleeping in a very light place, you can tie it around. To practice your Jedi mind tricks and—

00:17:26 Peter von Gomm: Yes. So that's a Tengui. This is one of the things we're offering. And— That's a white one with one color, and this is one with multicolor. The material is different. The cotton.

00:17:36 John Daub: The cotton. So the material are different, so we have to pick that out. This one is color, and yes, they do have cats, Jennifer French.

00:17:46 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. There you have it. Use it as a do-rag. So again, this is not the design you'll be getting, but this is just an example of what a Tengui is. Tengui is to do that, to wipe the sweat with your hand. Tengui, to take off. So you're taking off the sweat. You can tie it around your wrist if you want.

00:18:07 John Daub: That's right. That's one of the ways. It's up to you guys. We'll show people how to use that in the next update.

00:18:11 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. We have a full color one. So these are the samples. So we have to make a decision. So we have full color ones. If you want to, you could share your input here, and there's two different materials. This one looks really nice, too. They'll be packaged up pretty nice, and I don't know. Should we do the artwork? Can you show us what Dakota has done already?

00:18:34 John Daub: Yeah. Here, you can give me the Tengui. I love just saying that.

00:18:39 Peter von Gomm: That was the one I picked.

00:18:40 John Daub: You picked the Echo Bag, right?

00:18:43 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So let's see what... Thank you, JK Adventures, for sharing that. Jennifer wants cats and crows. Maybe a cat with a crow on its back might be funny. Let me get to the artwork. Give me a second here. They changed... We changed the name.

00:19:01 John Daub: I know why you did that.

00:19:01 Peter von Gomm: Oh, did they? Okay, sorry.

00:19:01 John Daub: Yeah, I changed it to Art. You know why.

00:19:03 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I know why. Okay.

00:19:07 John Daub: So let's just—

00:19:10 Peter von Gomm: Oh, yeah. There's the Oni. That's one of the characters that Dakota has created.

00:19:15 John Daub: Oh, we got another Kickstarter. Thank you, Rory.

00:19:16 Peter von Gomm: Hey. Rory commented. Rory commented. Okay. Thanks, Rory.

00:19:21 John Daub: So this character, you'll find out later. I'll send it out soon enough, but it's Noboribetsu, and he's the Oni.

00:19:32 Peter von Gomm: Very cool. You can see he's an awesome artist. Hey, K has pledged. Thank you so much. It just flashed on the stream. Q, Y, appreciate it.

00:19:45 John Daub: That's the Oni from Noboribetsu, right?

00:19:46 Peter von Gomm: That's right. Did I just ruin the surprise?

00:19:48 John Daub: It's all right. No, but we won't show them anymore. So this will be filled with lots of little Easter eggs and fun little iconic pieces of Hokkaido. So stay tuned for that. This will be on the postcard and on the other goods that we're offering. Kristen, thank you for backing. Just saw that for the postcard, I believe. Appreciate it.

00:20:09 John Daub: Yeah, this is going to be an amazing postcard. We're undecided if we're going to do posters. Posters require extra shipping. Chad, thank you for pledging 1,500 yen. Posters are harder to do because they require separate shipping. So we can— In a tube, yeah.

00:20:24 John Daub: So we can— I mean, if this artwork is so beautiful... Maybe we will put it on an A1 poster like before, but it'll be an add-on, which is the next thing I want to talk about with this project. Right. Because it does look like it's going to rain here again.

00:20:37 Peter von Gomm: Oh, it'll be all right. We had some raindrops when we started. The A1 size posters— By the way, this was not a coincidence, guys.

00:20:45 John Daub: Oh, yeah. You probably know the Lambo owner, too. We'll see him back any moment. Speaking of powder blue, there's another—

00:20:53 Peter von Gomm: Is this a popular car?

00:20:55 John Daub: Popular color. You'll notice more clothing coordination. I'm not sure if it's a good combination on this trip. Add-ons.

00:21:01 John Daub: Fashionable—

00:21:04 Peter von Gomm: No, black is always in fashion, dude. It goes with my salt and pepper hair.

00:21:10 John Daub: All right. Look, you know— Okay, let's just get to it. Add-ons. So this is something that you might not have seen last year. Kickstarter introduced add-ons as something for projects where you can add on to it. So if you're getting a solo pack and you want one more teinugui or you want one more tote bag, you can add on to your project. You can add it on. You're not going to the add-ons and just adding that on. We do the set packages because it's easier for you, and we hope if you want to customize it, you can do that. If you do the math, it adds up to being cheaper to do the two-rider just a little bit because we want to encourage you to do that. But yeah, absolutely. Tell us a little bit about the add-ons and what we have in there right now.

00:22:00 John Daub: Well, let me take a look. We've got the— As you mentioned, we have teinugui. We've got echo bag. We have what's called a— digital shout out. Is that what we called it?

00:22:06 John Daub: It's like a cameo, I guess. So basically, we will be creating a small video, a personalized video every time.

00:22:20 John Daub: Check my nose hairs there, John. There's people there. We don't want privacy.

00:22:24 John Daub: We want to make these small little digital videos and we will give you a shout out in it for an extra amount of money or contribution. And we'll be doing these throughout the trip, whether it's on the bike or at one of the cool areas we're at or wherever. We will give you a digital shout out and it will be a personalized small video. And I think it'll be a lot of fun. A lot of people have shown interest in that as a kind of keepsake that's unique to just you. So that's one of the add-ons.

00:23:04 John Daub: What else is on there?

00:23:07 Peter von Gomm: I don't know. We're doing digital kisses, digital hugs. I can't remember. It's a digital download. We had questions about that. That's just a download. It's a digital copy. You're not getting a physical copy. You're getting a digital copy of the video.

00:23:18 John Daub: In fact, I still have some Blu-rays from the hitchhiking video that I could sell that's on the store, onlyinjapan.tv store. You can buy that. It's still available. But we're just doing digital downloads for this documentary, not making physical discs. People don't buy them. We'll probably be adding stuff along the way until this campaign is complete. Nagoya, thank you. 5,100 yen. Appreciate it. Thanks. Thank you.

00:23:51 John Daub: Is that Nagoya John or just Nagoya?

00:23:52 Peter von Gomm: It could be Nagoya John. I saw this super chat earlier.

00:23:53 John Daub: Nagoya John, by the way. So while we're on this trip, if you see something that you're interested in and it's not part of the campaign, we might— we might be able to add it on as an add-on. So we'll see how that goes. But we'll be— as we are on boots on the ground in Hokkaido, we may be increasing the add-on variety as well.

00:24:13 John Daub: Skylark, thank you. 5,100 yen. You backed the documentary in the postcard. Much appreciated. You look like Lars from Metallica.

00:24:20 Peter von Gomm: Me or you?

00:24:21 John Daub: You.

00:24:22 Peter von Gomm: Really?

00:24:23 John Daub: That's pretty cool.

00:24:24 Peter von Gomm: Few wishes. He's a good drummer, though.

00:24:29 John Daub: Sounds like a telethon. We're doing— because of the update.

00:24:34 Peter von Gomm: Who's Jerry Lewis?

00:24:35 John Daub: Which one of us is Jerry Lewis? Well, this link is going to go into the Kickstarter project as a way to share the information about the project, a longer format that answers questions and whatnot. So, John, I've not used this app to show where the add-ons are. Do you know— You have to back— just pretend like you're back in the project and it'll show.

00:24:56 John Daub: Okay. Back this project. All right. You can scroll to the side. Yeah.

00:24:59 John Daub: Okay, here we go. So original postcard. We've got the— Let's just go through this. Here we go. Original postcard. Postcard sent from Japan. We've already shown what that potentially will look like. Documentary digital deal. That's just a download. You'll get a link to download the documentary once it's complete. We've got the documented postcard. Early birds sold out.

00:25:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. It was sold out right away.

00:25:22 John Daub: Okay. Documentary plus postcard. Solar rider package. David, thank you for pledging 3,000 yen. Thank you. Telethon continues.

00:25:31 Peter von Gomm: Yes. This will be the solar rider package, which is shown to be quite popular. You'll get a postcard, digital documentary download. Your name will be in the credits, as well as our original shopping tote bag and the Tei Nogui Japanese cloth.

00:25:46 John Daub: Yeah, they can read that. Okay. Two rider package is double of the contents in the package. Family rider package will be five. You can share them. Give them as gifts to your friends and family. The tote bag, the Tei Nogui.

00:26:06 John Daub: Super rider package will have a gift box. What did you call it?

00:26:07 Peter von Gomm: Mystery goodies.

00:26:09 John Daub: Yeah, a box of mystery goodies. Stuff we'll find from Hokkaido. Food and stuff. Fred, thank you for backing the project. I think you got the solar rider. Appreciate it. Cheers.

00:26:19 John Daub: Yeah. So, yeah. So, we will have the super rider package. We'll have some confections from around Hokkaido. Different places we're going. We will put an assortment of goodies in there.

00:26:30 John Daub: So, we had these two seats. And we're moving. We're considering opening up a third one. But because we knew that these might go quickly. And there's only one available. So, that wasn't fair to a lot of people. So, we might do a countdown to see if we can get rid of a third seat. And by that, we need to have somebody with us, I think, to break up the monotony.

00:26:47 John Daub: So, let me. Should I explain about this?

00:26:49 Peter von Gomm: Sure. So, we have a Toby, which is my arch nemesis. And an anti-Toby, which is the nemesis of the nemesis.

00:26:56 John Daub: That makes sense.

00:26:58 Peter von Gomm: So, I guess the third would be the anti-Toby, maybe. Basically, you're going to be coming with us on the trip. We're going to put a camera by suction cup and do like a FaceTime call with you for a certain amount of time.

00:27:14 John Daub: Right. And share with you the view as we're driving. Maybe even stop and get some ramen or eat a snack. I don't know what we're going to do. It'll be well worth your contribution.

00:27:23 John Daub: Thank you, Todd. Todd, I think I just got the family pack. Appreciate that. Thank you.

00:27:30 John Daub: Yeah, we're going to make it worth your time. And you'll get a certificate with the crow. We'll go on it. Being one of Toby's gang.

00:27:36 Peter von Gomm: Well, basically, if you also agree with it, you'll be in the documentary, too.

00:27:41 John Daub: Yeah, absolutely. Which will be fun and kind of share your thoughts a little bit. So, you'll be immortalized in this work we're doing. And all of this goes to help to pay for the trip and make it super exciting, actually.

00:27:53 John Daub: I thought that this is— When they went, I had my floor on the street because I was outside. It's like, what? Both of them are gone?

00:27:58 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. That was pretty crazy.

00:28:00 John Daub: So, thank you so much. Do you have any other ideas? Like, we might even add more rewards to this, right?

00:28:08 Peter von Gomm: That's what I was saying. Andrew, thank you for pledging 4,000 yen. Thank you. Thank you, Andrew.

00:28:14 John Daub: As I said, once we get to Hokkaido, which is coming very soon, it's 11 days from now, we will undoubtedly see some things that we would like to add. And we'll get feedback from you guys and what you would like to have included in there.

00:28:31 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Yeah. And we will go from there. So, at the moment, we've got some very good rewards, I think.

00:28:39 John Daub: Yeah. We've put a lot of thought into this. We wanted to give a lot more. It just was so complicated. T-shirts are so complicated because of the sizes. It's something maybe we can do something with. Let's see what the artwork that Dakota does is.

00:28:54 John Daub: And, Morgan, thank you for pledging 1,000 yen, buddy. Thank you. We're going to see what the artwork looks like. And if people want it, maybe that's something we offer as an ad.

00:29:04 Peter von Gomm: Right. So, if… Yeah, there's huge potential for many types of goods. Right. And we want to make things that are available or affordable for everybody and fun for everybody. And, of course, we want to have fun, too. See, I'm not an XL size, so I can't offer—

00:29:22 John Daub: I'm like medium in the U.S., so if we just offered one size fits all, spandex shirts probably would not help the world but harm the world.

00:29:31 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Especially for—

00:29:32 John Daub: Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know if I would ever do it again.

00:29:35 John Daub: Hey, Nagoya John. I personally pledged about ten minutes ago.

00:29:36 Peter von Gomm: I saw that. It was just Nagoya popped up here, picking Peter's brains about something. Can we have a private conversation, Peter, with Nagoya John.

00:29:46 John Daub: Sure. Yeah, you're on Patreon too, right?

00:29:49 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I'm on Patreon. So you can find a way to direct message him, maybe via Instagram too. You could do phone calls on Instagram.

00:29:55 John Daub: Yeah, any of my YouTube channels or my Homicide Inc. True Crime Podcast, my email's on there, so yeah, feel free to reach out. Instagram, yeah, Instagram mail has a way to contact, but you have to prove, so look for Nagoya John in there, good guy.

00:30:12 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I'm not seeing the add-ons on here, John. I'm not sure where to click.

00:30:17 John Daub: I think you have to pledge something first, and then you add on.

00:30:20 Peter von Gomm: Oh, okay, that's why. You just pledge something, and then it'll pop up.

00:30:23 John Daub: That means I have to pay?

00:30:24 Peter von Gomm: No, you pay last.

00:30:26 John Daub: Put it in your fake cart.

00:30:28 Peter von Gomm: I'm going to back my own project?

00:30:30 John Daub: Well, can I back? My wife paid for a postcard. Did your wife pay to back us?

00:30:35 Peter von Gomm: Not yet.

00:30:36 John Daub: She better.

00:30:37 Peter von Gomm: Well, if it's a competition, can I back with a postcard?

00:30:40 John Daub: If she backs with a DVD, can I order a box?

00:30:42 John Daub: I'm going to back it with 100 yen.

00:30:44 Peter von Gomm: It's a cheapskate.

00:30:46 John Daub: Watch it. But with 100 yen, you can't get the add-ons because you have to have a box.

00:30:50 Peter von Gomm: Ah, okay. Oh, that's a good point. That's a very good point.

00:30:53 John Daub: Except the digital rewards.

00:30:55 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, the digital rewards. But if you want to get one of the add-ons, you have to have purchased the solo rider, right, at a minimum?

00:31:04 John Daub: Right, you have to start at the solo rider.

00:31:06 Peter von Gomm: Okay, okay. So there's no way to do the digital add-ons. So if somebody wants to do the shout-out, the cameo, they have to initially get the—

00:31:16 John Daub: The reason. Let me just explain quickly. The reason is because of Kickstarter. What stinks is that you can't select your shipping. Meaning if you've already backed a project with a box, you shouldn't have to pay for more shipping. But an add-on, if you get a postcard and you want to add in one tenugui, we have to add shipping to that, right?

00:31:34 Peter von Gomm: Right, right, right.

00:31:36 John Daub: But that doesn't make sense. You're going to pay more for something. So the way that— It's not intuitive, the way that Kickstarter does it, unfortunately. So we had to pick and choose. So those rewards start once you buy. You buy something with a box.

00:31:52 Peter von Gomm: Okay, yeah. That's unfortunate, but that's the way it's rolling at this point.

00:31:54 John Daub: So, yeah. Basically, if you are selecting at a minimum the solo rider pack, you will then have the option of adding to it.

00:32:04 John Daub: Let's go back this project. Where do you go?

00:32:08 Peter von Gomm: Go back and then back.

00:32:10 John Daub: Oh, okay. Yeah. Let's pick— One of the boxes?

00:32:14 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, let's go two rider pack.

00:32:16 John Daub: Okay. Dual.

00:32:18 Peter von Gomm: So not all shipping locations are listed. We just saw add-ons.

00:32:21 John Daub: Yeah. So add-ons. You can skip add-ons or you can go down. And add.

00:32:28 John Daub: Okay. So now we're to the daily. Go down to the shout-out. Oh, here they are. So you can get— So everybody—

00:32:57 John Daub: Let's get the— Oh, so these digital daily updates are digital ones. So if you're getting a postcard and you want to get the trip updates, that's here as a pass. Because I have to add that on through the project updates. Just to explain. You can get extra postcards. Here's the digital shout-outs, a cameo-like thing. And that's all you can get with this.

00:32:58 Peter von Gomm: Really? Where's the Tenugui?

00:33:00 John Daub: Can you not add more Tenugui?

00:33:03 Peter von Gomm: It should— We had it on there, the add-ons. Oh, you know what? Sometimes we had this last time with the Shakudama. So we'll go back in here and check that too. Sorry.

00:33:22 John Daub: We had these number five fireworks shells. And for some reason, people couldn't add that on. We'll go back in there and see if we can fix that. Okay.

00:33:23 Peter von Gomm: But that's a good bug. We'll continue to tweak and update. So check for updates.

00:33:27 John Daub: Yeah, so you should be able to add on more stuff if you want.

00:33:31 Peter von Gomm: Right. That's a shame. I didn't know that. And again, if it comes down to you not seeing your country listed for places to ship, of course, postcards are no problem to go anywhere. And digital downloads. But if you are interested in one of the rider packs, let us know what's going on with that.

00:33:53 John Daub: Is that heavy metal?

00:33:53 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. I can see me in the reflection of your glasses. But there's some sort of code for something. Beavis and Butthead. Heavy metal.

00:34:01 John Daub: Alvaro, thank you for pledging 9,000 yen, buddy. James saw me. Megan saw me. All right. Let me show you right now the marker for number two. And then we'll take some of your questions.

00:34:11 Peter von Gomm: Sure.

00:34:12 John Daub: So this is the street marker here. This represents Route 1, which is where all roads start. Christian, thank you so much for backing the project. I just saw that pop up here. Route 1 starts all the highways, especially the Tokaido, which goes down towards Kyoto, starts right in the middle of the bridge there.

00:34:34 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:34:35 John Daub: So I like to touch this before I start a project and then sanitize my hands. I can see why there's no—

00:34:45 John Daub: So Nihonbashi— Are you going to touch it?

00:34:48 Peter von Gomm: Symbolic. Touch it. Your hands clean?

00:34:49 John Daub: Nihonbashi means? Japan's bridge. That's right. With two fingers.

00:34:55 Peter von Gomm: Two fingers?

00:34:57 John Daub: Yeah. So yeah, you can come here and do the same thing. I like to—

00:35:01 Peter von Gomm: You're going to rub it?

00:35:02 John Daub: Oh, because of the pandemic? Right. You can do the fist bump that the politicians do to act cool.

00:35:10 John Daub: Yeah. I'm 85 here.

00:35:12 Peter von Gomm: Sure.

00:35:17 John Daub: Chest bumping. The actual marker, there's a replica in the center of the road right there, you see? And that's the— You can't go and touch that, although I have done that in the past.

00:35:27 John Daub: It's dangerous.

00:35:30 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, there's lots of interesting history here in Nihonbashi.

00:35:33 John Daub: Can you cross the street for a second?

00:35:35 Peter von Gomm: Sure.

00:35:35 John Daub: There's tours going on as well. So I'll show you a little of the area as we take some of the questions here.

00:35:47 John Daub: Ravi has pledged $13,582. Yeah, thank you, Ravi. Cheers, Ravi. My rear bike experience was to try Honda 80 Enduro with water cooling 20 years ago.

00:35:55 Peter von Gomm: Whoa.

00:35:59 John Daub: It's Aramaki. Wow. Something— Someone or something smells good. You smell that?

00:36:02 Peter von Gomm: It's like Coco Chanel.

00:36:04 John Daub: Yeah. Wow. I think it'd just be from the window of the—

00:36:10 John Daub: You can't add on a Tanigoo or Echo bag right now.

00:36:11 Peter von Gomm: All right, Raymond, we'll fix that. Thank you.

00:36:14 John Daub: Yeah, we'll fix it. Megan, I got to— I want to talk about your bike. So I'm getting the Honda 400X.

00:36:20 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:36:21 John Daub: Which is a pretty sweet ride. So both of the bikes we'll have are considered cross bikes, so we can— They're basically on-off-road type. We're not going off-road, because I don't want to—

00:36:30 Peter von Gomm: Of course not, John.

00:36:31 John Daub: Not this time.

00:36:33 Peter von Gomm: I'm just kidding. Your scooter's okay?

00:36:35 John Daub: Yeah.

00:36:37 John Daub: John will have a 400cc Honda X, and it's a really nice bike, and I will have a 900 Yamaha Tracer.

00:36:46 Peter von Gomm: That's double the power?

00:36:47 John Daub: More than double, John.

00:36:50 John Daub: Well, you know what? A lot of people have been expressing their concerns that this is dangerous and I'm not going to make it. I don't know what that's based on. That's why I went to motorcycle school.

00:37:04 John Daub: But— Yeah, I'm already a driver, so I'm past the point in my life where I feel the need to show off, so there's no showboating.

00:37:12 John Daub: And I say boat, because this is the pier where the tours leave from, that go down the rivers here. So trust me, I don't think we're going to be speeding. We're actually the opposite. We're going to be going slow, because we want to take it in and film it.

00:37:26 John Daub: And we'll be incorporating drones as well as this camera.

00:37:32 John Daub: You're a 360, right?

00:37:33 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. The Insta360, which I bought, it puts onto a magic stick and we can get some pretty cool angles.

00:37:39 John Daub: It's a panning action, so this documentary is going to be pretty badass. With a capital B.

00:37:46 John Daub: We got a cameraman coming. And we're working with the people— From Kushtani.

00:37:53 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. So we got a cameraman coming. So this project, the overhead was our assistant. We've got equipment, travel, accommodations, the motorcycle, the camper.

00:38:05 John Daub: Right.

00:38:05 Peter von Gomm: So there's a lot of stuff here, but we do have a cameraman coming who's going to be making a video for Kushtani and then helping us as well, which is super cool.

00:38:14 John Daub: That's going to be great. That'd be great. Yeah. And very helpful, because we can't film ourselves.

00:38:19 John Daub: It's dangerous. We also got some communication devices from a company called Cardo, which is a big—

00:38:25 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:38:25 John Daub: Have you tried them yet?

00:38:27 Peter von Gomm: I've tried one of them, yeah. So basically, John and I will be able to communicate. And we'll record the video. And we'll record that communication. So as we're buzzing down the road and he's eating the dust behind me, we'll be able to talk and you'll hear him coughing and gasping for air.

00:38:42 John Daub: I'll be in front. It'll be great. How are we riding? Are we riding where I'm following you? Are we riding like two—

00:38:48 Peter von Gomm: It'll be like John and Ponch from Chips. So left and right?

00:38:51 John Daub: You're John, obviously.

00:38:52 Peter von Gomm: I'm Ponch.

00:38:53 John Daub: Because I've got a little bit of a— We're going to have to modernize that music though, although that would be a waste. Can we add a beat to the—

00:38:58 Peter von Gomm: Why not? Add the beat to the Chips song and get the drone.

00:39:02 John Daub: I don't think the Mavic 3 can do that. I don't think the Mavic 3 can go that fast.

00:39:04 Peter von Gomm: We'll have to go like 20 miles per hour or something.

00:39:06 John Daub: No, we're not going to be riding fast. We're not going to be riding too fast. Do some drone tracking and then get that shot.

00:39:16 Peter von Gomm: That's A-Team, isn't it?

00:39:19 John Daub: Was that Chips?

00:39:20 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that's Chips.

00:39:24 John Daub: They all sound the same.

00:39:26 Peter von Gomm: The SWAT, Chips. Yeah.

00:39:27 John Daub: John— Starsky and Hutch.

00:39:28 Peter von Gomm: Who were the characters?

00:39:31 John Daub: John and Ponch. But Ponch is— Was played by— Eric.

00:39:34 Peter von Gomm: Eric Estrada.

00:39:36 John Daub: Eric Estrada. Oh, my mom was in love with Eric Estrada back in the day. She had like a glossy 8x10. I think he signed it and sent it to her.

00:39:43 Peter von Gomm: That's pretty cool.

00:39:44 John Daub: How did your dad feel about that?

00:39:46 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that's so good. I don't think he knew.

00:39:49 John Daub: She was sleeping on the sofa after that.

00:39:52 Peter von Gomm: Larry Wilcox, REO for the save. Thanks, buddy.

00:39:54 John Daub: That's right, Larry Wilcox. One of the greatest shows from the 1970s and early 80s. Just keeping an eye on my—

00:40:01 John Daub: With Knight Rider.

00:40:03 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:40:06 John Daub: Any last comments while we put a pin in this?

00:40:08 Peter von Gomm: I think that covers it thus far. We're not even 24 hours into this and you guys have really helped us out.

00:40:12 John Daub: What's the total now?

00:40:13 Peter von Gomm: Total now is—

00:40:15 John Daub: Eric has pledged $5,100. Thank you, Eric. Thank you. Thanks, guys.

00:40:19 John Daub: I'm really, really pleased with how this is coming along.

00:40:25 Peter von Gomm: Dashboard. Dashboard.

00:40:27 John Daub: Okay.

00:40:28 Peter von Gomm: Wow. Oh, wow. So that's gone up about $219. That's about $250,000 yen while we've been doing this.

00:40:36 John Daub: Yeah. Thank you. Again, for me, it's more about the amount, number of people. So we have 174. Let's pick that up. 174 people. So my goal is to get to 500 if we can. And the more people who are riding with us, the more fun it'll be.

00:40:51 Peter von Gomm: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.

00:40:52 John Daub: Yeah. And then this could be just the beginning. We're hoping that— Corn Tron, thank you, is a solo. We're hoping we can keep this going and—

00:41:02 John Daub: Where's next?

00:41:02 Peter von Gomm: All of Japan.

00:41:03 John Daub: Where do you want to ride next?

00:41:04 Peter von Gomm: Well, I have also ridden in Shikoku, which is one of the islands down south, which is so rich in history and beauty. It's very diverse topographically. They've got the highlands and you've got this coast that looks like the Mediterranean. So that's—

00:41:27 John Daub: I mean, we've got so much to do. Kyushu, Shikoku. Kyushu, Shikoku. The Tottori, Shimane, Yamaguchi area down there. It's endless.

00:41:36 Peter von Gomm: Endless.

00:41:37 John Daub: Oh my gosh. There's so many. And fantastic riding everywhere. Another reason— Like an open car or convertible might be fun, but motorcycles are just so good for getting around, jumping on and off.

00:41:51 Peter von Gomm: Very convenient. You're going to have a blast. It's going to be fun.

00:41:54 John Daub: I'm glad that we have the RV though too, because you said the long hauls are tough on a motorcycle.

00:41:59 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. Absolutely. Being in the saddle when you go more than a couple hundred kilometers and you're stopping and sightseeing, and we're going to be filming this documentary as well. So we have to kind of limit the distances that we're riding each day. And by the end of five days, you're going to love that RV.

00:42:18 John Daub: It's spacious and we'll be able to talk more and have more intimate chats with you guys as we're driving down the road.

00:42:29 John Daub: I will be also live streaming. I will be live streaming from my helmet on some of the days while we're riding.

00:42:34 Peter von Gomm: Oh yeah. So we will share my channel information as well. Peter Banga on Japan and Only in Japan Go will be active here. So you'll still be with us.

00:42:46 John Daub: Right. The last thing I want to say before we tune in off here is if you do back this project, first thank you. And second, when the project ends on August 12th, sometime maybe a few days after that, you're going to receive a survey. And in that survey, we're going to ask for your address. When we ask you for your address, please abbreviate. For Americans, don't use your extended zip code. Keep it to five digits. Apartment, APT, you know, try to keep it simple. Avenue, AVE, for example. Don't write in your entire family's name because it won't fit on the label. And that's the more the text that's on the label, the smaller the text becomes and the higher the risk is that things will get lost.

00:43:26 Peter von Gomm: Right. So keep your address as simple as possible. And don't use all caps and don't use all lowercase either. Use the proper punctuation. I'm just saying.

00:43:35 John Daub: Some people have the cap lock sign. It doesn't help. We'll probably add that information in the update when the time comes. It's better to say it too. Because people aren't going to remember this. That's my greatest worry that people don't get their rewards because of a mistake. So just double check your surveys. We'll ask you also for your name to be put in the credits of the video as well. And if you're Toby or Auntie Toby, we'll discuss that. We'll discuss the reservation time.

00:43:59 John Daub: Here's another thing we want to do. Oh yeah, that's the boat.

00:44:02 Peter von Gomm: It's not the space boat.

00:44:05 John Daub: No, it's not the space boat. But that's the one, that's why I came over here. They do pretty neat tours in the canals of Tokyo as well.

00:44:13 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, that'd be fun.

00:44:15 John Daub: Underneath the Nihonbashi, which they're putting underground soon. It doesn't get a lot of sunlight, so these canals stink.

00:44:24 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, they really do. In the summer, anyways.

00:44:27 John Daub: What about us? Over here. Over here! Over here!

00:44:40 John Daub: Yeah, very cool. If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time on the Kickstarter project or direct mail us. The project email is onlyinjapandvd at gmail.com. I'll be able to answer your questions there.

00:44:57 John Daub: If you're leaving a comment, it's best to send a message to us by email because we won't miss it that way. If you have a question or a concern, always send us an email. Kickstarter is the best platform for a Q&A. That's why we do the YouTube and other ways to do it. Any last things you want to say?

00:45:17 Peter von Gomm: No, I'm just really excited.

00:45:19 John Daub: I'm so happy that people are embracing this. It's showing the love. In the first less than 24 hours, we've well surpassed our initial goal. We hope that it will continue at this pace and more people will see the benefit of coming along with us.

00:45:40 John Daub: It's a big adventure. Ten days every day is going to be that we haven't even necessarily planned. It's pretty crazy. We haven't finished reserving all the places, but we're keeping open too so we have some time to explore.

00:45:52 John Daub: The last thing I wanted to say is that there's a lot of risks and challenges to these projects. Again, we talked about the shipping challenges and I want to say thank you to everybody who was patient with the last project due to things that were out of our control. This time we planned a little bit better. There's a chance that one of us gets sick. I'm taking the at-home tests as well as not going out as much. I'm riding my bicycle at places and Peter's scooter. We're avoiding public transportation. Just trying to be extra safe so that we can stay healthy for this. There is always that risk right now because we are in the middle of a peak. We're avoiding people as much as possible. We have September as a backup potential. If God forbid one of us were to get ill.

00:46:41 John Daub: I'm not sure. There are risks but we're doing our best to stay safe and be ready for this.

00:46:49 John Daub: You're doing your pull-ups?

00:46:50 Peter von Gomm: You're doing push-ups every day?

00:46:52 John Daub: Actually, I will start from now.

00:46:53 Peter von Gomm: Thanks. Better. Thanks.

00:46:54 John Daub: As the rain starts to come down here. Thank you, Peter, for making your way out here. I got to get back. We have a little bit of a family day.

00:47:02 John Daub: Alvin, thank you for pledging 9,000 yen. Thanks, Alvin.

00:47:04 Peter von Gomm: Oh, stretch goal.

00:47:05 John Daub: We didn't talk about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We will 100% be doing a stretch goal because we hit that target in one day.

00:47:10 Peter von Gomm: A stretch goal is a second goal. And we've already kind of decided what we're going to do actually. But don't tell them. I'm just telling them we're going to do it. We won't announce it. We won't announce it until two things happen maybe. One, we're on the trip. So we're going to announce it on the trip because this campaign exceeds the trip. Because people always complain, I wanted a package but it's over. So we're extending it through the trip. So we don't get paid until the project is over. And two, a crow flies into the RV.

00:47:40 John Daub: Oh, yeah. And rides with us.

00:47:42 Peter von Gomm: That's not the stretch goal, is it?

00:47:44 John Daub: Because those things have really long beaks. They hurt. You have no idea how—

00:47:48 Peter von Gomm: Peter, don't wish that.

00:47:50 John Daub: I'm serious. Don't wish that. Actually, the Japanese crows are pretty vicious.

00:47:55 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, they are. They're like ravens. They've got that hooked beak.

00:47:56 John Daub: Dude, you think, oh, yeah, I'm Peter. It's going to sit on my shoulder and be a third rider.

00:48:02 Peter von Gomm: I don't think so. He's going to be pecking your ear and eating your lobe.

00:48:06 John Daub: It's really starting to rain. It's coming down more. So there will be a stretch goal. We kind of decided. But I'm guessing like around, I don't know, double or a little bit more, triple. We'll announce it in the next update.

00:48:19 John Daub: But we're doing a stretch goal, dude. And it will be well worth everybody's time. Trust us. It's a good one. You're jumping into the ocean, huh?

00:48:27 Peter von Gomm: Don't give anything away.

00:48:29 John Daub: Okay, we're not giving it away. All right, everybody, have a good day. Have a good night. Thanks again for the support.

00:48:34 John Daub: See you, Peter.

00:48:35 Peter von Gomm: Thank you. See you, John.

00:48:36 John Daub: Bye-bye, guys.
