00:00:00 John Daub: Welcome to a very miserable autumn day here at Yurakucho in Tokyo. And in this episode we're going to be walking from this spot to Tokyo Station through the inclement weather. Is that the way you would use this word? And joining me in this livestream is a man who will be walking through this tunnel in any second now. How you doing? I thought that this would be a perfect day to show you Tokyo because this is the first day in like seven months where I can't wear shorts. It's really cold. It's really chilly.

00:00:38 John Daub: I've got myself a coffee and you might want to get yourself one too. We got some snacks here to try. I think it's going to be an interesting walk of shame. I just have to throw that in there. I don't know why. Peter! So this is Yurakucho. It's a really fun area. Yurakucho, actually, if you look at the kanji, means fun.

00:01:11 John Daub: And it's very close to Tokyo Station and Shimbashi between those. Ginza is not that far away in the other direction. And this is also a location... I'm going to go find him. Let's walk through the station. Don't go anywhere. I'll be there soon.

00:02:24 Peter von Gomm: Just to the end down there. That took five minutes.

00:02:28 John Daub: Good morning. What a treat. Beautiful day, don't you think?

00:02:34 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:02:34 John Daub: It's been a while. How are you doing, guys? John requested the Christmas blend. We got a Christmas themed cup. But they don't have the Christmas blend coffee yet.

00:02:49 Peter von Gomm: No, they don't, do they?

00:02:50 John Daub: No, but I heard Christmas music earlier. They do have it. They just not at this particular one. Another reason to go to Tully's. As you can tell, it's not sponsored by any cafe. I love these little under the track walks. Let's go under here. You know why I don't go underneath there? Because there's no signal.

00:03:10 John Daub: There are some really cool under the train walkways. It'll take you from one station to another. In fact, this whole side of Tokyo has that. It was under renovation for a couple of years. But now it's all good. We're going to take the main streets. But the signal gets wonky if you go through there. I've already tried.

00:03:34 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, not a pleasant day.

00:03:37 John Daub: We've had really good luck with the weather up until now. It's going to be sunny again tomorrow. And relatively warm.

00:03:44 Peter von Gomm: Would you say it's unseasonably warm right now? For Tokyo?

00:03:48 John Daub: Right now, this is the weather it should have been. But it was unseasonably warm. So anybody that came to Tokyo last week was enjoying seasonably warm, too warm weather. It was T-shirt weather.

00:04:01 Peter von Gomm: It was.

00:04:02 John Daub: It ended up kind of that way again tomorrow. It was supposed to be 16 degrees. Which is way warmer than usual for mid-November. What is that in Fahrenheit for our American friends?

00:04:12 Peter von Gomm: Our countrymen. That's probably in the 50s. Upper 50s, probably. Maybe 60.

00:04:16 John Daub: I think it was in the 60s yesterday. Yeah, 16 is in the 60s. I think it was like 63 yesterday. I was getting some sun. And down in Shodoshima where I was filming about the olive wagyu and the olive harvest I had a convertible car.

00:04:33 Peter von Gomm: Oh my gosh. You gotta see those live streams.

00:04:35 John Daub: There's a countryside walk that I did through a town on the far side of Shodoshima that tourists don't often go to. Oh my gosh, it was so beautiful. That was just four or five days ago. And you could tell the weather has changed greatly.

00:04:50 Peter von Gomm: So tell us about this olive wagyu. So the cows are eating?

00:04:55 John Daub: That's their feed? You're gonna have to watch the episode. I will not break the secret. In fact, I'm gonna have to watch the episode. In fact, I tried the food that they eat in the episode. I just picked it up and I put it in my mouth. And I ate it. And it tastes like olive.

00:05:11 Peter von Gomm: If they were to eat me...

00:05:14 John Daub: Oh, this is a dead spot. You mean this McDonald's? Alright, we gotta get out of here. I know this is a dead spot. We can cross the street. Peter, let's cross the street. Let's get out of here.

00:05:32 John Daub: We're going to the beef. Did you try that beef?

00:05:35 Peter von Gomm: Of course.

00:05:36 John Daub: It's a farm to table episode for wagyu beef. And it tasted... Well, I don't want to ruin the surprise, but it tasted pretty good. There's the Kochi store. I love this store. If you're looking to get yuzukosho (yuzu pepper paste), they have a ton of yuzukosho in there.

00:05:53 Peter von Gomm: Different types?

00:05:54 John Daub: Yeah, different areas of Kochi make yuzukosho. Do these guys know yuzukosho? Of course they know. Yeah, that's great stuff. I forced myself into a factory. Made them let me film. After two months of playing. Whoa! Is this to take it onto the street and eat it? Holy moly. That is street food. That's my kind of street food.

00:06:26 John Daub: Look at that. Holy macaroni. Holy matcha. What? Matcha babaroa (matcha bavaroise). Babaroa. This is a touristy thing. Did this exist before? This window? I've not seen it. I have not either. Marron soft cream. I get Starbucks because it's convenient, but this coffee looks so good. Oh man, it looks so good. And it's a black cup instead of this. Stylish.

00:06:53 Peter von Gomm: You know what I had in Kawagoe a couple days ago?

00:06:57 John Daub: I had the marron ice cream. And they kind of like, they have a press and the marron comes out in little strings. It looks like pasta. Chestnuts, yeah. They put it on top of the soft cream. It's so good. I might have a picture of that. I'll show you. It was amazing. The autumn season, I did an episode on this, but the confections of autumn. Sweet potato, chestnuts, what are some of the other ones? Rice products because of the harvest.

00:07:27 John Daub: Take a look at that. Oh gosh, look at this. Whoa. It looks like a plate of pasta on top of the ice cream. But it's actually marron, which is the, they call it mont blanc. Yeah, chestnut. Oh man. Like confection. Oh, so good. They have a matcha variation of it where they put matcha powder in it, turns it green, and they put that on the stuff. Really good. There's a bakery here. You have to reserve the bread. They won't allow you to go in there. Check it out. You can't just pop in. You have to have a reservation to go and pick up your bread. This is Ginza. Thank God we're leaving this Ginza in like three seconds. Which way are we going? Straight ahead, right?

00:08:08 Peter von Gomm: To the right. This right.

00:08:14 John Daub: Let's stand under the, oh to the right. You want to stand under here like some bag of bones.

00:08:21 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:08:22 John Daub: Bag of Johns. Bag of Johns. That's something you don't want to get into.

00:08:31 Peter von Gomm: What, a bag of Johns?

00:08:33 John Daub: That's something for pretty women? Sake. That's what I'd like to get into. That's a good collection there. Is this a sake bar, right? A standing... I think it's a standing sake bar. Yeah, you can. You can buy it. You can also stand there. That looks like an area you can stand there and watch life go by. Oh look, this one's dedicated to the Super Bowl.

00:08:56 Peter von Gomm: To what?

00:08:57 John Daub: Super Bowl. Oh, to the Super Bowl. Yeah. Super Bowl 24? Wow. That was a while ago. That's vintage. That's not real. That's not a real thing, everybody. You just made that up. Let's go to this corner here in the rain. I don't mind the rain. Don't believe the hype. It's just rain. It's not even raining. Blame it on the rain. We got a table here. It's a really clean table. Who can name that song? Do not do Milli Vanilli here. We will get copyright blocked. You just blew it, dude.

00:09:33 Peter von Gomm: I was asking them. Yeah, blew it because I don't want to play this game. Blame it on the rain. Don't copyright this song.

00:09:40 John Daub: It's either that or popcorn. Which do you want?

00:09:42 Peter von Gomm: You want that or popcorn? Popcorn.

00:09:45 John Daub: Because it impacts you too. And you won't be able to get that song out of your head. If you give me a choice, I don't want to demonetize this video with your Milli Vanilli garbage. If you sing the song a cappella, they can't demonetize it, can they?

00:10:06 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, they can. Are you serious?

00:10:08 John Daub: Any cover song can be an issue. That's total horse malarkey. I have bought at the Hokkaido store several items to try for our Kickstarter backers for their Super Box, which is a box that we're putting together with various confections all in that box. But first we need to try some of the items to see if they're up to par. That's right, because they will not make it into the box if they don't taste good. They will not make it into the box if they don't pass our stringent taste test.

00:10:44 Peter von Gomm: You ruined it.

00:10:45 John Daub: No, you ruined it. It's over. No, stop it! This is the white and... I thought this was a black and white cookie. And any New Yorker knows this one. It was made famous also in a Seinfeld episode. I was like, look! The black and white cookie, Peter! And, uh, yeah. It's not a cookie. So I thought we would try this. Next we also have this, um, nama sablé (raw shortbread). I don't know what a nama sablé is, but we're gonna find this out. And then we have these mochi cookies, which I thought would be great. And you're hungry, right?

00:11:16 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, heck yeah. I haven't had breakfast.

00:11:18 John Daub: Zane, thanks for being a member, buddy. I appreciate that. Thanks, everybody. You're also gonna get a print and an advanced... Sorry. You get early access to the new mainstream main channel video, which is gonna be uploaded when I get home from this.

00:11:33 Peter von Gomm: Oh, what is it? What's the topic?

00:11:35 John Daub: It's like, green tea farm to factory. Where I do every single machine inside the factory. It is... It was a hardcore episode, man. I've been working on this for months. I probably shouldn't have picked that topic. I thought it was gonna be easier than it was. It wasn't.

00:11:53 Peter von Gomm: Well, you know what you could do? You could blame it on the rain.

00:11:56 John Daub: Stop it! Honestly, I think it's already demonetized. I'm gonna have to cut you all out. So, this... I don't know what this is, but I'll give you half and half. Do I get the black half or the white half? Yo, your hand's clean. I'm not touching it. What I'm doing is pull. I'll do it in the camera. Pull. Alright, ready? Here we go. You keep what you earn. It's like taffy. I'm gonna twist it. Do a gator roll. Oh, geez. No, take more. It's like mochi, so it's not a black and white cookie. Not overly sweet. In fact, there's not much sweet at all. It's pleasant.

00:12:48 Peter von Gomm: Katayama, do not encourage him. Come on, sing it with me. Blame it on the rain. Stop it. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Seriously, seriously. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun.

00:13:01 John Daub: It's better. It's better. That is pretty good. Is that where that iBrew bar is? That's what I was thinking.

00:13:10 Peter von Gomm: Down the corner. We did pull-ups together down there.

00:13:15 John Daub: You did the sissy version. No, the chin-ups versus pull-ups. I did pull-ups. You did chin-ups. Hey, JB. When's my album gonna drop?

00:13:28 Peter von Gomm: Jason, do not encourage him. I'm working with Bruno Mars on a remix. I'll get back at you. I'm cutting it in the Rockefeller Records studio.

00:13:42 John Daub: It's mochi. It's a very slight taste. I didn't taste any kind of a difference between the black and the white, but I'm guessing they got that color from adding a little bit of that sugar cane or something. So it's a natural coloring, I believe. Yeah. There's not much difference in the color, the flavor, the color change. Nothing too decipherable. Not overly sweet, pleasant mochi. But good mochi. Good mochi. This is a nama sablé from Asahikawa.

00:14:23 Peter von Gomm: Are we pulling this one too? I'm not. Oh, you got more!

00:14:29 John Daub: Look at that. Hey, Brandania. Nice to see you. Thank you. This, um... Mmm. This is just like a chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate chip cookie has crunchiness to it. This is like slightly baked chocolate chip cookie dough. Slightly undercooked cookie. It tastes like an undercooked cookie. It's a soft... Oh, geez. It's a soft chocolate chip cookie. Yeah. It's chewy, but there's not chocolate chips. Like a big blob of chocolate in the middle. Mmm. Blob. It's super chewy. Super chewy. Almost like, um... Like, uh, store-bought packaged cookies. It's a little bit of preservative in there, maybe. Yeah. Wow, the wind is coming in strong. How's the audio? Oh, geez.

00:15:27 Peter von Gomm: Go, John. Get it.

00:15:32 John Daub: AMSR. Mmm. Chips, like, not Chips Ahoy. There's, like, grandmas or something. Chips Ahoy? They were always, like, hard. You had to microwave them with a hot rag inside. Oh, God. Get moisture in them. What's next, Uncle John? I'm gonna move my coffee from the runoff from this building. Let's do the, uh... Do it from this direction, which is more scenic. This is the mochi sablé. Sablé, yeah. Which is... Is that the same thing as we just ate? It looks good, doesn't it?

00:16:20 John Daub: We have to find items when we send them to you, because there's 16 backers that got the Superbox. We have to make sure that it doesn't expire en route, but we're sending them EMS, so it's the fastest way available besides American FedEx, which is not an option. It's, like, $150 to send that. Nice. I like the packaging. It's basically like the one that we just ate, but it's thicker. And it's got, uh... It's not chocolate. It's not chocolate. Is this a good replacement for breakfast, or... No, I still gotta get breakfast. Or lunch.

00:16:52 Peter von Gomm: You want vitamins and minerals?

00:16:57 John Daub: Mochi sablé. Uh... What's a sablé? Well, it's kind of like a soft senbei (rice cracker), isn't it?

00:17:02 Peter von Gomm: I guess so.

00:17:04 John Daub: It looks like there's something inside here. Is that a surprise, maybe? Like a cheese? Is it like, uh, soft cheese or something? Mochi. Is it? Very cake. Oh, UFO Bob's giving us a heads-up-to-move locations. Okay. I'm just gonna move over here. It's a buttery cake with mochi inside.

00:17:42 Peter von Gomm: How bad was the Minecraft? Was it like that the whole time? Sorry, guys. I dropped my mic.

00:17:52 John Daub: How about now? No pun intended there. We had a mic drop. Okay, it's only tight. Slightly better. Oh, we better get out of this area. I can see the Shinkansen, uh, behind me. There's... How about that? No, no, fold it. See how it folds it the top. The other way. Okay. I folded the other way out. Jeez, you're so demanding. Seriously. Hold on. Does that work?

00:18:54 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. But now it's like right on my Adam's apple. That's fine.

00:18:59 John Daub: Well, how is this thing? I didn't try it yet. Really? Well, I wanna wait for lunch. I don't wanna spoil it. What do you think? The buttery cake around it is really nice. Pleasant. Maybe even a little bit too buttery, if that's even possible.

00:19:17 Peter von Gomm: Too much butter, not possible.

00:19:19 John Daub: Does that mochi make up the entire center of it? Yeah. Or is it only... But does it feel like the full circumference of it as well? Or just that center part?

00:19:27 Peter von Gomm: Center.

00:19:30 John Daub: Okay. It's very mochi and it's soft. Now, mochi is something that's interesting. I don't know how they do it, but mochi's supposed to be hard unless you bake it and heat it up. Then it gets soft. So I don't understand how they make soft mochi stay soft. It's gotta be some kind of, uh... special magic. Mochi magic. It's called, because people are saying that there's some kind of demon making these, uh... making it look bad, the stream quality. Is that Michael Sassano? Hold on a second. We didn't leave anything, right? We're kind of prone to leaving stuff.

00:20:13 Peter von Gomm: You're kind of prone to leaving stuff.

00:20:15 John Daub: That's Justin! Justin, looks tasty. Thank you, buddy. Yeah, it was really good stuff. Any of those do you think good enough to put in the super boxes?

00:20:26 Peter von Gomm: All of them. Really? Are you kidding me? Well, I haven't tried this one yet, but I'd like the, uh... I like the chocolate chip thing. Um... And, uh... What was the first one we had?

00:20:38 John Daub: I forgot already. Oh, that. No, the black and white. That makes that. No?

00:20:42 Peter von Gomm: That was nothing special. It was okay, but... People like mochi. Yeah, but there's better mochi out there. There's mochi magic.

00:20:51 John Daub: That's true. Oh, there's the Bridgestone building up there. Oh, that's where my bicycle, the... I don't think they make them in there, but... Hey, Michael Sassano! He's virtually in the house saying aloha to Brondania. Aloha! Thank you. Send some of that aloha spirit here. And the weather. It's chilly.

00:21:21 Peter von Gomm: It's either Michael Dania or Brondycle.

00:21:23 John Daub: That's true. Brondycle, maybe. What are we? Jeter? No, I'm just... You just put a name in front of Peter Jeter. Vondob. Vondob. That's interesting. Vondob. Harrison writes in about the stream quality. It only... The YouTube app only goes up to 720p. You can use external... What do you call it? Apps to get 1080p, but it doesn't really matter if there's... If the signal strength is poor. You want 720p in this area is not the greatest. Tokyo is a pretty high-tech city. For download speeds.

00:22:20 Peter von Gomm: But upload speeds is abysmal.

00:22:24 John Daub: Yeah. And live streaming is all upload speeds. And a pocket Wi-Fi gets its pocket signal from the 4G LTE. So pocket Wi-Fi has never been an option. Doesn't make any difference. Doesn't make sense. Yeah, I think when you get amongst these tall buildings, there's a lot of dead spots. I don't know if it's because people in the buildings are using a lot of the bandwidth. Look at this. My friend had one of these. Wow. An old Dart. My friend Troy had a convertible Dart that we used to drive around in high school.

00:22:54 Peter von Gomm: Wow, like back in the 60s?

00:22:56 John Daub: That's one of those American Graffiti cars from that movie. I think the signal's gonna get better. The place we're going next is the next Hokkaido store. We're out here pricing and kind of finding inspiration to put these super boxes together, which we'll be sending out next week, EMS. Believe it or not, the Kickstarter packages we sent by ePacket are already arrived in Singapore and Thailand and a few other places, which is crazy. There's the Shinkansen blowing by. Actually, what's the opposite of blowing by? Decelerating. It's coming into Tokyo Station. Rolling in. What's this round building here? This roundish tower. What is that?

00:23:43 Peter von Gomm: It's like a spy building maybe.

00:23:47 John Daub: It's like a silo filled with lost travelers.

00:23:53 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:23:58 John Daub: Asuka, thanks for watching. He's taking a break right now. From what?

00:24:02 Peter von Gomm: I don't know. To eat?

00:24:05 John Daub: I guess it is lunchtime here. And I purposely held off. No breakfast. I just had a kaki banana smoothie. Oh wow.

00:24:18 Peter von Gomm: Kaki is persimmon. Right. Super yummy.

00:24:22 John Daub: My mother-in-law sent a box of them from Hiroshima. Yeah. So I chopped it up and put a banana in there and some milk. And blended it up and it was good. Really good. Kaki's got a load of vitamin C.

00:24:39 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. More than an orange. But they're hard to time when to eat them.

00:24:43 John Daub: Yeah. That's true. Because the skin is really hard so you have to really squeeze them hard to determine if they're soft enough to cut open. We have those in the US. I've never seen them in the supermarket.

00:24:53 Peter von Gomm: Kaki. Yeah. Persimmon you said? Persimmon, yeah. That's not a typical western fruit.

00:25:01 John Daub: No. I like those because they stay on the leaves all fall off but they stay on the tree making it look like this weird uh, right? Mini pumpkin. Yeah. They look like mini pumpkins. Let's get this light. It's really starting to rain. I don't think there's a... You want to cross here, yeah? We're not going left.

00:25:23 Peter von Gomm: But you don't want to cross just for the heck of it? What, to go to Tokyo Station? That's where you said the store was in Tokyo Station.

00:25:30 John Daub: Do you want to go there? Not really. Have you seen the new Midtown building? Midtown Yaesu?

00:25:37 Peter von Gomm: Uh... I have not.

00:25:39 John Daub: Well you were right in front of it about 50 meters. Oh here it is, yeah. It just opened up. Sweet. And that's where we're headed? The basement is where that Hokkaido store is. Oh man, it is so chilly. It's already snowing in Hokkaido.

00:25:56 Peter von Gomm: I believe it, yeah. Asahikawa and Sapporo had flurries.

00:26:02 John Daub: I bet you it's coming down stronger. I'm getting wet.

00:26:06 Peter von Gomm: Yeah. I'm getting cold.

00:26:08 John Daub: Peter's booking. The wind is chilly. As we see Midtown Yaesu, which is a new building here, right in front of Tokyo Station. Yaesu Chika (underground mall).

00:26:20 Peter von Gomm: Peter, where are you going?

00:26:23 John Daub: Big baby. It's just rain. Is it in here? What? Is it in here?

00:26:29 Peter von Gomm: Here what? The shop we're headed to. Shopper attitude?

00:26:34 John Daub: Shopper attitude. That's like Black Friday. What is it called? No, um... The shop we're headed to. It's down in the basement right there in Yaesu Chika. Okay. I could probably go down here, but I think there's something you need to see. I was here... Show us. Last time I walked this, another YouTuber, Rion, was across the street and we ended up talking via Twitter or something. Twitter mail. He was like, oh I didn't want to bother you. Why didn't I just give him an Indian accent? I didn't want to bother you. Talking like my cousin now. Because you're live streaming. And I said, no, it's okay. Dude, you could have found me a card, you know. Next time I'll come and join your live stream. I said, okay, anytime, you know. Just like that guy joined your live stream at Haneda Airport the other day. Yeah. The bully man. Yeah, he's working pretty hard, so... I should give him a call.

00:27:46 Peter von Gomm: Is this not from the original Superman? Wasn't Superman? Christopher Reeve, the baby?

00:27:52 John Daub: Yeah. The original, the LG. Right, he was in this ball that landed in Indiana or Kansas. That's sweet. That is sweet. Wow. Right? This looks like the Superman ball where you're Jor-El. Right? Yeah, I like it. And this looks like his wave of, his cave of solitude. I like it. Right? I like it. Imagine if the sun was shining, all of the fractures of light that would come off of that. I don't have to imagine, I was here. I've seen it in that and it's brilliant. I want to go in the core of this thing and travel space and time.

00:28:25 Peter von Gomm: Please do. What? Then I won't come back. What would you say that? Awful. What kind of friend are you? Telling me go it off. Oh yeah, John, do that. Go off in space and time. Never come back. I take care of your family. Right. Why would you say that? I have a family. I'll help you run the restaurant. Stop it. Stop it. You can't do it because you don't have cousins in India.

00:28:50 John Daub: Yeah, that's really cool. Okay, let's go. You can see it's raining. The beautiful drops. That original Superman is pretty cool. But when he's running alongside the train. Oh yeah, that's the best part. Look, sometimes doing something like that where it was like a Steven Seagal running style. Did you ever see Steven Seagal run? Does he run like that? Really kind of? He's got flappy hands. I'm not a maybe I used to be a Steven Seagal fan, but not lately. I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that he when he started wearing a wig.

00:29:35 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, he became a Russian citizen.

00:29:38 John Daub: Did he? Yeah. That's where he is right now. He's in the Soviet Union. Sayonara, Steven Seagal. Everybody's got to follow their own path, I guess. And his path took him to Russia. How does that happen? Who's he rooming with? Snowden? I don't want to know. But I don't know what happened. YouTube took me down this rabbit hole. There is a lot of Steven Seagal's movies are the worst. First of all, he's had movies. Second of all, some of the YouTubers rip on him so bad. I watched one yesterday and couldn't stop watching because it was so bad. They exposed every inconsistency with every movie that he's done in the last 15 years is brilliant. Oh my god, and then watching him run with a tank like a tank top or something and he's chasing a bad guy. His hands are flapping. It's like guys. I don't know but they go back to the Superman when he's chasing the train. I think that that was. Yeah, that wasn't a bad thing because it's so memorable. Yeah, right. Yeah. It's so fake. It's classic.

00:30:50 Peter von Gomm: So why are we standing in the rain like this? Let's go down.

00:30:54 John Daub: Yeah well, I don't want to go down because we have to put our masks on that's one of the things that I won't disagree with when you're outside walking around you don't need to wear a mask. Right, right. It's like scientifically proven something but if you're in an indoors and a crowded tight space maybe we wear a mask still. But that mask on which is really isn't much of a mask. It's a paper mask. It's just to appease the people. Then I'm wearing a mask. I see a Maserati over here. Okay behind this taxi. That's another taxi.

00:31:47 Peter von Gomm: John only takes Peter to the best places. Really? That's right outdoors.

00:31:58 John Daub: Whatever they're doing, they're doing it wrong. It sounds like whatever whatever they're doing over there, they're doing it wrong. Grind, it's like rock on rock, whatever they're doing. Yeah, they're drilling an onsen (hot spring). Drilling a new onsen, yeah. How deep are they going into the foundation? There's the Maserati, you missed it right there.

00:32:26 Peter von Gomm: I saw it, I just didn't, that's a nice one. Lovely.

00:32:32 John Daub: So this is the Yaesu Chika, chika means underground. That's what it sounds like in Roppongi at those clubs. Everybody grinding. We haven't been to a club in a long time.

00:32:44 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, we were talking about that the other day.

00:32:47 John Daub: I haven't been out at a night spot in years, it's been years.

00:32:52 Peter von Gomm: It's been a really long time since I've been out as well. And to be honest, I'm not really that interested.

00:32:58 John Daub: Me neither, I don't miss it at all. I'm not missing anything. I think after the age of 21, when I could drink legally, it no longer became the necessity that, it's Friday, I gotta go out.

00:33:13 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:33:18 John Daub: Yeah, I just don't have to do that anymore. I stopped going clubbing, or going to, I don't think I ever went clubbing, but I stopped going to clubs and stuff, I guess after the third or fourth year living in Japan.

00:33:29 Peter von Gomm: Oh wow.

00:33:30 John Daub: It wasn't a big deal.

00:33:31 Peter von Gomm: I did it much more than that. Really?

00:33:34 John Daub: Yeah. It's nice and warm here. Oh, it feels good. That down jacket, that's comfy, Uniqlo.

00:33:41 Peter von Gomm: Yeah, I'm having a debate, because I know that the down jacket won't last. It's gonna last for more than a year, or two. It's not really great quality, maybe two, maybe three years. But if I get it at Patagonia, maybe it'll last for ten years. Because the outer, the shell of it is so good. The shell of it is so good.

00:34:03 John Daub: Look at these red mannequins. It's creepy.

00:34:11 Peter von Gomm: You ever see the Blue Man Group?

00:34:13 John Daub: Oh yeah.

00:34:14 Peter von Gomm: You saw them here in Tokyo?

00:34:15 John Daub: No, I saw them walking around once.

00:34:18 Peter von Gomm: Did you really? Yeah.

00:34:25 John Daub: I think we might be going... Oh, this is the right way. Here it is. Oh, Hokkaido Foodist.

00:34:30 Peter von Gomm: Yeah.

00:34:33 John Daub: Oh wow, yeah. It's a little bit bigger. Yeah. So I guess we could end right here. We have, we've reached the end.

00:34:42 Peter von Gomm: How do you feel about that, sir? No comment, because he can't comment. My face is frozen. Can't comment.

00:34:53 John Daub: I guess let's just stand right here. Signal is probably better here. Yeah, thanks for watching everybody. It wasn't the best day to do a livestream. It definitely gives us a thumbs up and courage us. I'll be doing some more stuff this week, but our priority right now is to finish the editing for the Kickstarter video. We finished the motorcycle part just about and I've torn into the RV part last night. So should get that up pretty good. But we're going to be making a short cut, a cut of this video for everybody. I think we'll be able to show that around Christmas time. So during the holidays when you're home, you'll get like a maybe like a 15 minute version of the almost two hours, hour and a half video documentary that we'll put out. Just make a short version of it. We should have a trailer out by tomorrow, I think tomorrow morning for everybody to take a look for it. So it's, it's, it's, I don't know, watching the editing, the video brings back memories. It seems like a long time ago, but wasn't.

00:35:59 Peter von Gomm: Right. Yeah.

00:36:00 John Daub: It feels like a life ago.

00:36:01 Peter von Gomm: It does.

00:36:02 John Daub: It feels like the weather change and everything. Yeah. We got pretty lucky with that trip weather, right? I mean, rain one day on the bikes. Had rain on it. Yeah. But yeah, it's fun to go through it and kind of relive all those moments and start thinking about the next one.

00:36:21 Peter von Gomm: Right.

00:36:21 John Daub: And that's going to be pretty soon too. There's some people who are in Tokyo trying to find us right now. If you find us, I'll have the card.

00:36:28 Peter von Gomm: Oh yeah?

00:36:29 John Daub: Yeah. We're going to be at this Hokkaido store in the basement of the Yaesu Chika for about five, 10 minutes, and then we got to be heading home. So if you do find us, I do have some, you found me cards. I believe I do. Yes. So we'll see everybody.

00:36:41 Peter von Gomm: Bye guys. Take care.

00:36:43 John Daub: Yeah. This is the Hokkaido store here. Hokkaido Foodist. Later Gator.

00:36:50 Peter von Gomm: Bye.

00:36:52 John Daub: Bye.
