I consider myself fairly well read (have a degree in English Literature) and have never come across the word 'pulchritudinous.' How fun.

What a great episode Chris and Pete ❣Being married to an American myself, I automatically turned down the volume of my headphones 😂😂 These last 3 podcasts had been a real joy. Thank you for that 🤍

I was so excited to see Pete on here! Both of you have such wonderful energy together. Sending much positivity from Minnesota.

You and Pete have such natural chemistry. You guys are amazing! Love the stories.

The arrival to Tokyo Tour brought tears of joy. Pete's enthusiam made it even grander, could not stop smiling. Brilliant gent's, well done!!!

Chris seems almost normal and relaxed with American Pete.

I remember the Wakkanai video and the theme of Chris bemoaning Pete dragging him out to the cold middle of nowhere, and Pete finally gets the chance to shoot back and ask why Chris loves dragging him out to the cold for their videos 😂

I walked past the Waterstones flagship on Piccadilly at the weekend and there was still a big display of the Abroad in Japan book right by the entrance.

Wow the show with Premiere Two Pete and Chris is the best.

Hello Chris and Pete, After listening to American Pete's story about being rejected for being confused as a KZreadr, I can kind of understand why the Japanese dislike KZreadrs/livestreamers in their shops. On my trip to Japan, I met a very famous American KZreadr, who I recognized right away at my Omakase tasting in Roppongi. I had initially wanted to say hi to him when he was done shooting, but in the end I decided not to because him and his crew ended up pissing me off. Normally, it usually isn't a huge deal when I see or meet KZreadrs in the US, but for some reason, it is just drastically worse in Japan. I was sitting in the corner of the restaurant trying to enjoy my $300 dinner, and they were constantly shouting at one another planning out their next film location during the dinner and they've even flashbanged me with one of their pocket lights to get better lighting for their shot. I also did not get to enjoy watching the chef make sushi as their cameras were all up in the shot. Once they finally left, the sushi chef gave me non-stop gomenasai's and I had to tell him it was fine, because I am American and use to it.

I saw the go karts in Osaka and not only were they annoying but... no one looked liked they were actually having fun driving through this high foot traffic area...

I love how they help each other. They all make such an enjoyable videos. Chris is my favorite only because I find him to have best sense of humor. 🙂

That was a fun listen!

My best memory in Japan: Went to an arcade (I think I went to GiGO), got to play Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune (the newest version isn't available in America), I was grinding to make my car faster and the locals were kind enough to let me borrow their cars. I assume they wanted to level their car up, but it allowed me to keep up with them in the races. I think they were surprised I wasn't some foreigner who didn't know how to play and I was able to give them a fight. Helped me understand racers there better. People at the arcades have no life.

@@Ashley-vs8nu huh. I thought I finished that sentence. What I meant to say after that was: and I kind of miss it. The arcade scene is not something you see happening at the arcades in the US. There's no good games that require skill anymore. Only machines that waste your time with useless rewards. Japanese cabinets are hard to come by or if they're here, usually they're broken because parts are sourced from Japan. The round1 in the US are mainly filled with crane machines and I noticed they're slowly pushing out Japanese games and replacing them with more crane games or shitty phone games turned arcade cabinet. Japan was great because depending on the game, there's always people watching, they have screens for people to watch the races, so it was able to become somewhat of a spectacle. I used to spend most of my time at the arcade until it got too expensive or the community dwindled. Because Japan uses their yen as coins to play, it's a lot cheaper to play there than spending $4 per game here.

Macadamia nuts are originally from Australia.

A happy start to my shift at work.

It's really nice having Peto on the Podcast, such a pleasant bloke.

You two need to always do a pod cast top tier !!! 🎉

The Lawson's isn't putting up the barrier, it's the city, to stop people from messing with the traffic crossing the road.

Whoever did the lighting on this did it do well. Chris looks bloody amazing with this lighting

My favourite konbini are the Lawson and 7-11 smack dab in the middle of Hakone. Bastions of convenience in a town where stores and restaurants close at 6pm.

I love American Pete and mr Affable together on the podcast! Very good duo. American Pete is lovely and very entertaining.

You touched on the tourists taking photos in front of the Lawsons and I just wanted to add my observations as I was there a few months ago. It was at Fujikawaguchiko, the Lawson by the main station. I didn't know it was such an attraction at the time but as we passed it we saw 10 or 20 people taking photos in front of it, I was confused because... its just a Lawsons... it was an overcast day so you couldn't see Mt fuji (we didnt see mt fuji our whole trip) so it was clearly a photo op built by word of mouth. Most if not all the tourist taking the pictures where Chinese, this also accounts for all the tourist coming in full charter busses, there are plenty of other tourists taking buses into town but the amount of Chinese groups where insane, I cant imagine what it would be like when its a more popular time of year!(well from the news I guess I can guess) And in defense of the tourists, the Fujikawaguchiko station and the surrounding area is VERY unfriendly to tourists. Narrow roads that many dozens of busses have to navigate hourly, and narrow sidewalks, we are talking 2 people barely have room to pass each other and its being trafficked buy hundreds of people WITH luggage, this isnt in front of the Lawsons this is just everywhere. The town clearly is trying to attract a lot of tourists but it also seems like there's a lot of contempt for them as well, or that they are falling very behind on keeping up with infrastructure. Anyways, just thought I would add my thoughts on the news.

Where the hell is Pete! (No, not that Pete. The other Pete) What did you do to Pete, Chris?!? Pete, if you can read this, blink twice and we'll have a Royal Marines Brigade immediately sent to rescue you. (Though we will have to file the paperwork to the Ministry of Social Welfare and Hostage Rescue then wait at least 90 days for their response. Then, if approved, wait another 90 days for them to file a report to make an action plan to form a committee for your rescue)

Talking of chopping down a tree, this one is worse. Years ago a chap bought a wood for his retirement to spend his days doing horticultural work. It turned out that before the wood existed it was an. ornamental garden which was part of a lost 16th Century Manor estate. He asked a local archaeologist/historian to come and do so. investigative work to find out a little more. The guy Chris came down and by the time he finished he'd pretty much chopped down most of the wood. It's the same guy who. on a dig where they found a Bronze Age log canoe took a chainsaw to it because it wouldn't fit the transport to take it to the local museum/university for restoration and preservation... lol

Dawn French lives about 5 minutes from my house, I see her all the time 😂 Glad she messaged back and was cool

I took a bad photo of that Lawson two years ago. There weren't that many people there back then. I had no idea it was a thing.

oh better mic~! i kept feeling like the mic at the studio is so weird sounding for some reason

I suggest going to the southernmost place in Japan in order to replace the mug... Just a thought...

There was a famous photo by Speedhunters with a Porsche racecar in front of a conbini so many car enthusiasts dream of having a photo of their car in front of Lawson's and/or Mt Fuji, but ordinary people taking photos of a cornershop stumbles me.

Broken mug calls for Pete to learn kintsugi on stream 😀

Did you film this when you were "walking Chris to the station" 🤔😂

Probably wont be heard but if pete or anyone likes a good snack and drinks, I'd recommend Shinjidai. Its as popular if not more popular than torikizoku and its well known for their chicken skin skewers. So well known that in fact currently, due to shortages, they are limiting the number of chicken skin skewers each customer can order for the time being. You can find Shinjidai in nearly every major city area in japan but they are more well known in tokyo area

Hilariously I imagine a lot of those tourists got the idea from a Tokyo creative video!

"新しいね。。。" oh man, I felt that pain I also felt that guilt, ouch

just a suggestion if you can move the camera so both of you are in focus would be really nice

Yay, it's American Pete! ❤

The Lawson billboard is so pointless too. Most people are never gonna hear that it went up and will go anyway. Then they’ll just be more unhappy that the view isn’t there. They really didn’t think this one through.

I was at the supermarket and a guy next to me dropped cold ready made pasta sauce (smells soooo bad) it was a orange colour and it got me face to foot. The whole way down me. I was stunned. I couldn't move. Dude was really sorry but wasn't anything he could do. Nothing ruined but my day

Hmm, same location as Pete's premier two VOD, when he and Chris did commentary to past vids, and then Pete walked Chris to the train station....so surely this is Petes Podcast? and this features Chris?

Hi Chris, Hi Pete !

I love Dawn French. Oooops!

Kabukicho felt safe early in the evening. Actually felt a lot safer and cleaner than other entertainment districts I have been to even in my own city. We did go for a late night wander to have a look. It was a bit grotty by then and we did see a rat. Our only vice that evening was a late night icecream. While eating it a young and very drunk Japanese couple staggered out of the Golden Gai and thought it was an excellent opportunity to practise their English. They were actually quite good and put my linguistic skills to shame.

I would like to read a similar book written by Pete, should be interesting.

i see Pete,i click ❤!!

Chris, did you hear about The Sycamore Gap tree?

I tried Maricar 6 years ago. It’s scary because you are low on the ground on a regular road speeding

Love American Pete - if we could only harness his energy and positivity the world would be a better place!

San Francisco has those little GoCart tourist vehicles as well. I used to live on Lombard Street just before the crooked section, and I've seen countless GoCarts stall trying to go up the hill. I have no idea how they are legal in San Francisco, where we not only have a ton of hills and one-way streets, but people generally drive like shit, often in much taller vehicles.

Excuse me Chris, you're being very humble there methinks... "some old actress"... that's Dawn bloody French, comedy icon! Vicar of Dibley is every Christmas I had as a child 🥹 so cool you messaged her on IG!

On a course for go karts would need to be about US block big. In downtown Tokyo that would be pricey just for the land. And it is supposed to allow people see some of the sights and not really be a race. With that being said I don't like it but what you offered isn't really a solution due to the cost.

Not gonna lie, I had my one accidental bad foreigner moment in Japan. Went to puroland and ate at the cafe they had. Bought a ramen. Delicious ramen with hello kitty's face everywhere and was in a pretty "disposable" bowl. Didn't get to finish the broth. Walked to the area where you return the plates and cups. I didn't know what to do. I stood there for a good 3 minutes waiting to see what other people were doing. No one came by with a bowl of ramen like mine. In japan, there's a recycling area for unfinished drinks where you drop the remaining liquids in it, so I dropped my remaining broth and drink then threw away the disposable stuff in another trash. Little did I realize, a local behind me was mortified. She had a ramen broth like mine and I didn't realize the small hole next to the trash where you drop off everything on your tray. I didn't know you put the tray there. Nothing indicated me to put the tray there. AITA? Hahaha. Yeah probably... I'm still kind of embarrassed about it..

Torikizoku seems to just rent out spaces regardless of how appropriate it is for a restaurant. They shove as many boothes as they can into a tiny space and just put a grill and a bar in the back. That being said, its a predictable and cheap food and alcohol source. Its a pleanty fine place to order some food off an iPad (with an English menu) if you already spent your day exploring and you don't have the energy to figure out something more challenging.

When I bring this up with my US friends, they like to use the Chinese as scapegoats for being rowdy tourists, when in my own experience 90% of the pushy and shouty tourists were either US American or Russian who act like they have a chip on their shoulders. I feel a bit bad for the UK folks as well because they are generally classy people who get lumped into the above due to their skin colour.

On our last 3 weeks in Japan, I saw 2 accidents because of the go kart.

Just a short comment. The noise has nothing to do with the age when you are outside. Common safety reaction. Never liked it, even when I was little. You are just aware of your surroundings. Love your videos and streams!!!🖤🖤🖤
