00:00:04 John Daub: How you doing everybody? Welcome to Suidobashi Station. This is where you'll find the Tokyo Dome of all places and it's accessible by other train lines other than JR. And we're going to go over the neighborhood here, walk around the back alleys because there's a lot more to do than just that. In fact, this neighborhood has some of the neatest restaurants, most delicious restaurants in the city of Tokyo. Some of it with some really well known chefs. And it's a historical neighborhood just in the shadows of Tokyo Dome and between there and Jimbocho is a place I like to come to quite often and haven't covered in this live stream. And today we will. Welcome to Suidobashi.

00:01:14 John Daub: I was actually going to show you Iidabashi Station but there was no signal at all. So I had to change up the plans and improvise. It happens. So Suidobashi Station is essentially JR but it's also connected to the Tokyo Dome. It's connected with the Mita Line and it's not that far away from the Marunouchi Line and the Oedo Line. So you can connect up there pretty conveniently to this area. Or just walk there from Jimbocho Station. Suidobashi. Bashi means bridge in Japanese and that's exactly where this is. Umbrella vending machine. I haven't seen these in a while. How much is an umbrella? Big. That's actually quite large. It's a small umbrella for 790 yen. I think it's a pretty good deal if it's raining.

00:01:54 John Daub: Wow. Come in here. Hey Brad just to be in the house. How you doing? Come in here is always very exciting because you do have that Tokyo Dome. Let's take a very quick look at that before we go the other direction. Korakuen is also in this area. That's a park that's very famous. If you're staying in this area in particular you should check out that park. I did a live stream there just a couple of months ago for the cherry blossoms also are quite beautiful there as well. And there's a lot of history behind it. There's the Tokyo Dome Hotel. So this whole area is just one big entertainment zone in this direction. But I've already covered that about a half dozen times on this channel. So we're going to go the other side right now. And it all starts with this bridge and this canal. You'll find historical markers all over the place as well.

00:03:14 John Daub: Check out this engraving on the bridge here. Just have to get through all the people. Kind of gives you an idea of what this place looked like back in the Edo period. It was just a canal. You see some boats down there. Wooden boats going underneath a wooden bridge. And you see over there in the left corner. That's Mount Fuji right there. So back in the day from this angle I guess Mount Fuji would be over here. Used to be able to see it when there weren't these buildings here. But the best thing I'm going to see is Mount Fuji. It's in the winter. Not right now because the warmer it gets the more haze there is. And there are times where you can't even see Mount Fuji even though it's a perfectly sunny day. Because I used to live on the base of Mount Fuji in a little town called Fujinomiya. And I would open up my window and go where the heck is Mount Fuji. I'm literally like 10 kilometers away from it. It should be massive in the window. But the summer haze made it invisible.

00:04:28 John Daub: All right. Here we go. Let's explore the alleys around here. So this is Meiji University as well in the back alleys of Suidobashi. So there's a lot of cheap eats you can find as well as burger joints. Things like that. That's all in this area here. Let's take a Google map look at the Suidobashi area. You see Tokyo Dome right there. There's a Tokyo Dome hotel which I just showed you. We're pivoting around the station which is in the center of your screen there. And we're going to focus on those alleys across the street from Tokyo Dome. Yeah right down there. I'm just crossing that bridge on the left side right now. One underneath the train tracks. And this area has some skyrise high-rise buildings here. And the road systems are kind of all over the place which makes it fun to navigate and get lost. But it's in those streets down there you find a lot of stuff. That's where we're headed. In case we do get lost I do have a map here.

00:05:51 John Daub: We started up there so I might have to pull this out a couple of times. Already you see this really awesome cut of Wagyu steak. Oh yeah. Oh one of my favorite tempura restaurants was here. Yeah Tendon. Oh my god. They would pull it out of the fryer and then they would put the tare sauce on top of it. The salty sauce on the top of the tempura and it would crackle when the sauce hit it because it was so hot out of the fryer. Oh man it would emit this smell radiating all throughout the restaurant. And then no music playing in there. The chefs, three chefs working together. They knew what they were doing. That place is gone I believe. I think they didn't make it or they moved to another location. I'm not quite sure. But we're going to walk down this street. You know what let's. It's a nice sunny day. The wind is blowing. The wind is very strong today though so. But between the buildings and the back alleys here it's not too bad.

00:07:04 John Daub: Nightbot is broken. Uh oh. Alright there it is. Alright the signal is getting a little weak in here. I didn't check it out but if you have trouble seeing the video where we go Minecraft where everything gets a little blurry and pixelated just let me know and I'll skedaddle and move into a nicer area really quickly. There's the Chuo line going by. They're doing a lot of construction in this area. I wonder if it's another high rise building going up here. Most of the shopping is on the other side. Now Tokyo Dome does have a supermarket. It has tons and tons of restaurants. There's also a roller coaster which used to be one of the fastest in the world. Thunder Dolphin is what it's called. You pay per ride so you, I think you can get an unlimited ride ticket too but you usually pay per ride which is about a thousand yen or what is it like $6.50.

00:08:42 John Daub: Yeah it's in these alleys man. Down these alleys you'll find tons and tons of restaurants. Little restaurants that serve some of the best food in Tokyo at some of the best prices as well. I keep walking down the street here. The whole idea is to get lost. Eventually if you keep going in this direction you make it to Jimbocho which is the publishing hub of Tokyo. The traditional place where all the big publishing houses had their headquarters and you'll find tons and tons of old books in the stores. Some of those stores look amazing because they haven't changed in over a hundred years. The ones that made it through World War II.

00:09:40 John Daub: So you see people because it is lunchtime people waiting in front of shops lining up to get, what is that there? Not quite sure. Probably ramen? There's a lot of hospitals in the area probably because of Juntendo which is a really famous university hospital as well as Meiji University here so there's a ton of ambulances that are going to be coming through here. So to the hub if you're in central Tokyo and get sick you're probably going to end up right here. With some of the best doctors I would say because they're being taught medicine from very experienced people. This is the Nihon University College of Law so there's a lot of other kinds of universities. Itabashi where I came from had the university of dentistry so I looked around at people's smiles and perhaps they had better smiles down there I don't know. Something to look out for.

00:10:59 John Daub: I was in this area for a reason. My friend Randy Santel is coming here he's a competitive eater he's really good at that and his channel is really interesting because he takes on some hardcore food challenges in a fun way. And you always want to see if he's going to eat it or what time he's going to finish his meal in. So I'm happy that he's coming to Japan and I'll meet him next week. My gosh this smells so good. Look at this bakery. Jarrah's here. How's the mask situation going over there? It's up to you. You do not have to wear a mask. Fresh baked bread coming out of the oven right there. Oh it smells you get that sweet yeast smell. Aiken is here. Just when I've seen two weeks worth of Tokyo you find me more to see.

00:11:58 John Daub: Yes this is kind of a queen's famous here because just the next station Kudanshita is where the Indian embassy is so perhaps there's some connection but something tells me that it just happens to be a traditional place of curry rice. So you walk around the streets here you're going to smell curry everywhere in fact here's a curry place right here. I think we can see the menu. They even have a wiener cut curry. There's a karaage curry. Oh my gosh this looks so good. Hamburg curry. There's the tomato cheese katsu curry. Oh wow and the prices are good. I smell more curry. It's not coming from Moss Burger although they have some pretty interesting challenges. What the heck is that? The garlic burger. Oh there's a niniku. Sorry kiniku. It's a muscle burger. Sorry I get those confused. Niniku is garlic and kiniku is muscle. So it's a muscle burger. That looks pretty amazing and then there's the Friday burger which looks like it's sauce and onion rings and other stuff.

00:13:24 John Daub: B Traven writes in a really good question here. Have you noticed much inflation? The prices look quite cheap still. They are especially if you've got dollars and you're coming here with US dollars. It is quite cheap. The prices have not gone up much for food like this. I haven't seen a big price hike but it could be coming soon. Well this is chuka yori. That's all 300 yen for that big plate of what is that? Tomyo. I don't know. There's some shrimp. Ebi shrimp. Ebi chiri. Oh but I don't know. Oh gosh look. And they put up a bowl that's not real. It looks real doesn't it? It's just a fake bowl of their food. And you can. I guess that's what their special is right now. It's curry rice with chicken on top. This plate. Even the Chinese restaurants have chicken curry like what they got curry at a Chinese restaurant here. That's crazy. It's probably good. I've never seen curry at a Chinese restaurant though.

00:14:47 John Daub: Oh, my friends at the Indian Embassy are probably going mad right now because it's hard to find really good Indian curry. I'm kind of Japanized curry. I don't know. It doesn't quite taste the same, even at restaurants that say that they're Indian. And most of the people working at the Indian restaurants here are from Nepal, I noticed, or Sri Lanka. Not as many from India, despite having the most populous country in the world. It's kind of funny like that. All right. Excuse me. I'm going to make a left and go back into the alleys now. Let's see what we can find. One of the best tempura places that I've ever been in in Japan was here. I was talking about a shop that you would go to for lunch, but this place was one we went for dinner. I was taken out by my colleagues at Shueisha at the time. I was working at the big publishing house as an English editorial supervisor. It was my title. And yeah, I'd go out quite often in the evenings, in particular in this area.

00:15:57 John Daub: And the executive that I went out with a lot, he had an expense account. I think I've talked about some of the stories. The hostess clubs in Ginza in particular, we'd start there and then end at the hostess clubs in Shinjuku. And then that would somehow make the last train. Or if not, be huddled up at a McDonald's waiting for that first train. Which happened to be a good idea. I think I was in a McDonald's once or twice, but not too much. Oh, check it out. There's a park here right in the center. There's even a sandbox here for kids to play in. Some swings. You can run around. A slide. It's quite nice. One thing about Tokyo that I really love is that you can find playgrounds everywhere between the apartment complexes. Even in Shibuya, if you go away from Hachiko Scramble just a little bit, you'll find playgrounds. Which is kind of cool.

00:17:02 John Daub: They might not be so big, but what is it? Nabeshima Park is where Kengo Kuma put in a new toilet installation made out of wood. It looks like you're in a forest. And you can... I'm getting lost here. You can find some swings in the swimming pool I think was there too. Yeah, visitors are here at full strength. Not in this area in particular, but I was walking around. Look at that blue sky. I love it. I was walking around Shinjuku a few weeks ago and just Asakusa's Sanja Matsuri was just a few days ago ended the last day on Sunday. People were coming up to say hi all the time and that felt really good. I wasn't even streaming and people saw me and go, hey, I know you. Yeah, I'm John. Some people would recognize me and not know exactly what channel they knew me from. So I would quiz them. So what channel? You know me, but what's my name then? Huh? It's kind of funny though. You got to tease people just a little bit and have fun with it.

00:18:20 John Daub: I'm glad that people are doing their homework before they come to Japan though. That's good. All right, look at this alley here. Hey, Arthur Vandalee's here. Arthur. Yeah, I want to say sorry, Arthur. I think I missed the super chat you'd sent the last time, but it's nice to see you here today, buddy. Share a little adventure on a beautiful afternoon here in Tokyo. Yeah, this area also has a lot of people. Oh, look, there's a lot of people. Do you see that? Mitabashi had a really big church as well, built right in front of the JR station that had been renovated. I don't know. It just kind of for me, I like to see them. Just, it's calming to see the churches around here, all the different. Oh, here's a South Indian restaurant. Let's take a look, a quick look at the prices here. They do have a takeout bento curry. That's so cheap. 600 yen.

00:19:32 John Daub: Yeah. How do they make money look at that lunch set that's six dollars that's really crazy that's 700 yen that's less than five dollars I think right wow you can eat so well again there's a lot of students here that's probably why you'll see cheaper prices uh this is an uncooked chahan this is a fried rice restaurant you can see of course the mushroom is fried is that a salt shaker or a mushroom i guess the mushroom is frying the rice and boy does it look good wow look at that spiciness on top of the rice oh my gosh that's 1200 yen or about eight dollars and fifty cents maybe something like that a lot of family-run restaurants in this area there's a Japanese teishoku restaurant teishoku (set meal) is just like a platter with rice and miso soup on the side and a main dish it's like this and it's quite healthy um i know a lot of you might want to eat at mcdonald's because it's easy i'm telling you right now look at the different kinds of teishoku that they have here and it's all reasonably priced all in like six dollars for the whole thing teishoku i love ta oh look at the gyoza i love it oh it's uh tabehodai gyoza all the gyoza that you can eat for 3200 yen or 25 bucks.

00:21:24 John Daub: Oh my gosh and they have all these different kinds of gyozas what look at this cheese gyoza um pakuchi (coriander) gyoza mabo dofu gyoza like a mabo yaki ebi grilled shrimp gyoza black vinegar gyoza nira (chives) which is a green vegetable gyoza yaki gyoza this crazy suey gyoza boiled gyoza um what is that natto gyoza edamame like all this is is a part of this price that's crazy cheap oh wow all right there's the pakuchi gyoza there's the shrimp gyoza so you can see you can just eat until you explode for that price that's how do they make money how do they make money this is the best street for eating look at this miyabi this is a cafe bakery i think a lot of shops oh you know what this used to be a really old book cafe i think they had to sell out or it fell apart or something there are some really really old buildings here and it looks like this is new there was a bookstore that looked like it was about to collapse on itself here's a thai restaurant take out the prices for thai are really cheap too.

00:22:47 John Daub: All right so check this one out here guys this is Ebi Maru ramen and it looks like it's quite famous because uh there's a line let's take a quick look at the ramen here oh that smells so good it's a basic lobster broth ramen oh do you see that there's a glare on it but i think you get the picture so lobster is very famous whoa look at that massive size soba noodles and you would get some tempura to put on top of there just to the side of it will you dip this one in here but you can get the tempura on top of bowls of soba it's so good oh wow that's a great set the mini katsudon soba set that's nice the price is again very very cheap i haven't seen a burger king around in a while is that a double whopper with a hash brown i'm see i i don't know if you came all the way to japan i'm hoping that these live streams have value to you and you maybe don't eat at mcdonald's or domino's pizza or something like that you get something that might be completely different this is um taiyaki taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle) is amazing street food it's shaped in the form of a tai which is a kind of sea bream the prices are very reasonable at 250 or something you have anko (red bean paste) sweet potato and premium custard premium custard there's an old ten right here erika ramen place okay now i now i'm now i recall we're getting closer to jimbocho.

00:25:09 John Daub: And you're starting to see some more um yeah this is a like a fried rice you can get a bento from this window and the bentos look pretty good so you can just get the stuff and eat it in a park if you wanted oh my gosh how do they make money that's four dollars for that bento that fried chicken bento's four dollars that looks like a chicken namban just tartar sauce on there that's uh that's still four 480 yen or something with the exchange rate maybe cheaper how do they get so cheap i guess volume huh i don't know jack lunch this place is a seafood charcoal restaurant osakana jack and they have pizza tendon things like that seems like it's a jack of all trades ah i see what they're doing there here's another ramen place here and you get it from the vending machine right there um prices are pretty reasonable to get the windows cracked it is a warm spring day i am sad about losing my favorite tempura tendon place but it seems like there's a lot of other options here now between the food at suidobashi this suidobashi may be famous for the food as you're seeing right here.

00:27:15 John Daub: The alleys have even more restaurants in the alleys. They open up, a lot of the alley restaurants will open up only for dinner. They don't do lunch because again, there's so much cheap food here. They don't make a huge amount of money. Here's a yakiniku place if you're looking for one. This has relatively cheap prices as well for if it's A5 ranked and it looks like it is here. This is a gyutan (beef tongue), tan, toro, wagyu ros. It's pretty decent prices. It smells good. Wow. Yeah, that is some good looking wagyu beef here. They don't write exactly what kind and where it's from. Sorry, the brand of the wagyu beef but that doesn't stop me if I'm hungry. Kobe beef is overpriced. I think it's overpriced. It's because they have a brand that they've been paying for so long. Wagyu beef is wagyu beef. It's good just about everywhere. It's very hard to differentiate a taste difference. There might be some umami, some complexities in the fat of the wagyu beef but it's hard to really know.

00:28:50 John Daub: Yeah, this whole street between Suidobashi and Jimbocho is food. Yeah. Love it. It looks delicious. It's good. Here's a chicken restaurant. Check that out. What is that massive ... So, it's all you can eat rice. This is free. You can upgrade your rice to any size you want. Oh, my gosh. Here's chicken namban. Oh, baby. That doesn't look as good as the one they've had in Miyazaki but I would not complain. Here's some more karaage. Wow, black vinegar. It looks like a chicken namban. There's a chicken fish burger a lot of chicken very nice yeah you don't have to go far to see the bookstores they're all over the place and a lot of them will be selling the books right outside almost all of them are in japanese so you're gonna have to be able to read japanese some of them are older but if you're looking for old manga you might want to go to book off because you can get them used there but here there's sort of traditional flair to it and you can find rarer books here but since the digital age a lot of them are going on pdf and stuff so it's harder to they're making less and less money let's just put it like that.

00:30:19 John Daub: Um yes i am are you hungry unfortunately this shop is out of business too there's a lunch place that looks family run that's still in operation but a lot of them just got nailed during the pandemic and they really couldn't stay in business especially during the state of emergency where people just weren't going to the office at all. Here's another gyoza restaurant. I'm kind of surprised at the sheer amount of gyoza that's here. Oh, this is a very famous yakiniku place. This has been on TV a lot. So it's lunch is 45 minutes of all you can eat for a thousand yen. Are you guys seeing this? This is the cheapest yakiniku I've ever seen in my entire life. One person, all you can eat yakiniku, 1,000 yen. And I think it used to be cheaper. They put that sign in there. Holy macaroni. I think, yeah, this shop has been on TV before. So sad, there's some people coming out of the shop. So I think it's quite a, they're looking for staff too. That is a deal. I don't know how good the meat is, but the price is dynamite. All you can eat. Can you get a piece of meat? I don't know how good the meat is, but the price is dynamite. Can you guys imagine? And even the worst Japanese beef is really, really good. I just, I'm like dumbfounded right now. How do they make money? How do they make money in this day and age with inflation and everything?

00:32:28 John Daub: There's a hundred yen shop here. And this Indian restaurant is shut down right now. They have some decent looking sandwiches at the coffee shop. They've got a beef bowl here. Check it out. Liver. It's a bowl of liver with rice and soup. That's a good deal. A hundred yen, you can get an egg, I think. There's a umatorodon. Uma is horse. So this is horse meat. I guess it's like basashi (raw horse meat). And then you can get char-grilled chicken. That looks pretty good. The haramaki steikidon. That is relatively inexpensive. Wow, that was interesting. That guy used a scanner and he could scan what drinks he needs to get to refill the machine and how much it's made. That was pretty cool.

00:34:05 John Daub: Okay, so if you take a look here, in this direction, you can start to see Meiji University, I think, right? In this direction. There's a place called Ogawamachi. And between here and that station and kind of Suidobashi, that's where Meiji University is. This is all under the influence of university students. And that's probably why the prices are so darn cheap. Because university students, they don't have a lot of money. Yeah, we, the Japanese do eat horse as basashi. I've never seen a basashi farm, but I would be interested in covering it just out of curiosity. I think you have to challenge yourself a little bit, not just in what you eat. I mean, I would cover it to try to understand it, I think. But they're certainly not horses that you would ride. These horses are on a farm just like cows would be.

00:35:06 John Daub: It's a Sapporo Ramen place. Let's take a look at their offerings here. Oh, that looks good. Sapporo Ramen often has miso in it, and the noodles are yellow. They put, they use egg noodles. Yeah, prices are pretty decent here. And that looks like a very good cut of chashu steak in there. You can get side toppings. The ajitama (marinated egg) is always very popular. I almost always get gyoza with my ramen. I don't get a larger size ramen. I'll get a small, normal size ramen, and then I will get gyoza or something on the side. But they also have mabou dofu. Is that mabou dofu? Or chashu dofu. They take the chashu steak, they take the steak on the ramen, they cut it up and put it over rice to give you a little extra meal. Sometimes you'll see mabou dofu on the menu. But it's Sapporo Ramen, so I don't think you would see it here. Mabou dofu is one of my favorite dishes. It's a spicy tofu dish with meat in it. And vegetarians are like, why would you use tofu and put meat in it? Because it's, you know, tofu isn't a vegetarian thing. It's an ingredient used in cuisine in Japan. They mix it up. So tofu could be eaten by vegetarians, but not mabou dofu. Unless you 86 the meat and put in like little tofu meat.

00:36:29 John Daub: All right, we've come quite a long ways. Tsurubashi is 700 meters in that direction. Ogawa-machi, the place I was telling you about, is in that other direction. And yeah, we are here. So we've essentially walked from here through the alleys in this region and then down to here. I wanna take you down into these streets here, and then we'll end the live stream. So let's go into this alley over here. Yeah, essentially you could feed a family fairly cheaply in Tokyo if you find the region. If you're gonna go to Shibuya or Shinjuku or places where there are a lot of tourists, you're probably gonna pay a little bit more, a lot more, way more. In particular, places where there are a lot of businesses because they have business accounts. So if there's people are paying with their business accounts, they don't mind paying a little bit more. But usually the quality is really good because the reputation of the place is basically why people would pay more for.

00:37:50 John Daub: John writes in here, hey, John, I'm sorry for being late. I'm sorry I haven't been around. The trunk has been out of reception range. You've been traveling, haven't you? Wow, I love this alley. I think we should go. Welcome back, John, it's nice to see you. Sort of, in the trunk. Crack it for some air. I should do a summer coming. All right, here's a soba restaurant. So this is what I'm talking about with the back alleys, okay? You'll find more upscale restaurants off of that main street. Restaurants with stars. So soba is typically like an inexpensive, simple food, right? But they seem to have found a way to really do it better. And the prices are about double what they are off of that main street there. Again, one of the best tempura restaurants. One of the best places that I've ever been at was here in the alleys of Suidobashi. I don't know where it is because the, I guess you could say boss came in taxi, even though it was like a really short ride. Like, why are we taking a taxi again? Maybe to confuse me so I won't know exactly where the location is.

00:39:15 John Daub: Ooh, wow, look at this place. This looks awesome. Uopin is what it's called. It looks like an izakaya (pub). But they do have fare outside. These are plastic. It's not real. This is a kaisendon (seafood rice bowl), which is just seafood plate. This is negitoro (minced tuna). And here's it. Looks like a chicken namban. It's pretty good. I like the fact that they have these models outside. It gives you a really good look. Oh, it looks kind of cool inside. I can't remember if this place was around or not. Here's another one. This is udon. They're serving Ebisu beer. And they have oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl). That looks pretty good. The alleys are the best. I have really enjoyed this livestream. I'm on a diet right now. I'm trying really hard to get back into shape. And I would have totally eaten on this livestream. But I'm sticking to this diet, I'm telling you.

00:40:41 John Daub: By the way, just a couple of shout-outs here. I'll be going to Hawaii to film an episode of Only in Japan in the middle of June. So if you are in Hawaii, we'll probably do a meet-up. And yeah, I'll publicize it on Facebook as well as all the social media where we meet up. Hopefully it's a place that's convenient for everybody in Oahu, probably around Waikiki. I'm not sure. So I'll be there for a few days filming an episode. Maybe two episodes that I think is going to be really cool. Because, you know, Hawaii and Japan have a really strong connection. And I kind of want to figure that out. They've had Japanese-American governors. So that's kind of cool that that culture exists. And the Japanese food in Hawaii has its own special flair, I guess you could say. I'm kind of curious to try a lot of that too. So Only in Hawaii. Only in Japan in Hawaii. Something like that. I'm going to try it. I'm still looking for a hotel to stay in. I'm sure I'll find something good.

00:41:55 John Daub: Hello. See you. Bye bye. There you go. People are pretty nice here. Let's see here. A diet of all you can eat dumplings. I don't think so. Can't you tell? I look a little bit thinner, don't I? It's sort of working. Yeah, this pandemic really got me out of shape. Where's the Y in? Why is the Y in Yebisu silent? I'm not sure. The only thing that I can guess is that's the way that they spell it in English. And Ebisu is, yeah, just somebody spelled it with a Y. I can't think of any reasons why they would have it spelled like that other than that. So yeah. All right. So if we can get to the next one. So if we can get to 500 likes, I'll take you to Tokyo Dome and walk by there. But you have a very short amount of time to do that. And I can't actually see how many likes we got. So moderators, let me know. It's up to you. I don't mind extending this for another 15 minutes.

00:43:34 John Daub: So we walk down the streets of Suidobashi, which is in the shadows of Tokyo Dome. It's a big entertainment area, which is really cool. Those sweets are drawing me. I'm going to go to the next one. Well, actually, we're not going to get there because the gimbal died. What? How is that possible? The gimbal died. It's out of battery. What? Hold on. Maybe I can do something. I have a battery here. This is why I don't like the DJI. Oh, my mic fell out. This is why I don't like the DJI Osmo 6. The battery is a fraction of what it used to be on the other DJI gimbals. It's like a little dinky gimbal for quote unquote bloggers. Oh, you know what? Hold on. It charges by USB-C, so I think I can do something. I have a battery right here. Okay, bear with me. Bear with me. It's very uncomfortable. All right. I guess I can't hot charge it. I'm going to go to the next one. I can't. I can't use an external battery to power it. What? DJI, you know what? You're really not cool.

00:46:10 John Daub: All right. Everybody, please think of a name for this new gimbal because that's our rule. When the gimbal is garbage, we give it a name. So the naming platform is open, everybody. Think about that. If you can come up with a name, let me know. We'll name this gimbal now that it stinks. Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, Jason. We do have a and we have one more week for this design. This is a limited edition because the Mario movie is playing here in Japan and we have the Shinjuku scene with the Godzilla statue and Mario right over right underneath him doing battle. I got a picture of it real. Gimson and Gimbo. Kevin, I'm not using that one. I'm using the Gimbo. Toby Jr. Gimpy. I think we've seen Gimpy before. Gimble. Gimble face. It's a mouthful. Gimpy. All right. Gimpy. Lakers. Oh, that is harsh. That is harsh. Nugget. Nugget fan right there. Floppy. I like that chant. Actually, floppy is nice. DJ Buzzkill. That sounds like a Peter von Gomm name. I don't know. It's to me. It's either floppy or Gimpy. These are like the worst names. Gimble. That's creative. Gim bad the Gimble. I like that. All right. We're going to go with floppy. Lumpy. Sturdy. Sturdy is a reach like floppy. Chant is correct. OK, floppy. It is Arturo floppy. You failed us floppy. Floppy. How dare you?

00:48:15 John Daub: But we will be back again for another live stream tomorrow. Yeah, I'm going to be driving. I get a drive out to film one more scene for video that I'm making. And then I probably take you with me then. So I got to rent a car tomorrow. So we'll go. We'll go somewhere in the rented car out to Kanagawa. OK, so I'll see you guys tomorrow. Thanks for bearing with floppy. Floppy apologizes, although he would if he had any energy. All right. All right, everybody. Take care.
