Tokyo’s WORST Hotel is a Nightmare |

[@user-qh6cl1bm9p]

Hello Chris! I can't believe you read my story, thank you. To add context the Ryokan was located in Kanda, Tokyo and in the description was listed as a Ryokan, so it might've been a lie but I didn't consider that was possible, since I imagined Booking has a way to moderate that.

[@RadenWA]

How much was that for a night?

[@user-qh6cl1bm9p]

@@RadenWA about 60-70£ I think

[@morganwestberg6853]

@user-qh6cl1bm9p Do you remeber what it was called?

[@Shichman]

I really enjoy these conversations. 👍 Thanks 👍

[@toastynotes]

It says in a few months the bookstore I work at here in America will start selling your book. Can't wait to start reading it!

[@jonhaugen5799]

I'm still waiting for Chris and the boys to do the original Ninja Warrior. If you can do the Spartan Games, Biking across Japan and climbing Mt. Fuji you can handle Ninja Warrior.

[@remyllebeau77]

Maybe if there is a beginner set of challenges. From what I've seen, the real one has only gotten harder and harder to do over the years.

[@flavorhostage]

I know a guy who does that. I would say there's no chance in hell Chris could do it. You need to be a gymnast for half the stuff and have the arm strength to hold your body weight up. Maybe Pete could do it, but even Pettas Sifu doesn't have a gymnast's body and would have to lose a lot of weight (losing muscle in his case). Play to your strengths.

Bar Rockaholic is also in Shinjuku Chris, I've been there a few times when I was going out in metal bars daily.

[@Crossingt]

My partner got me your book for my birthday this week (it is available in Australia). She said she read some of it and gave faint praise that it appeared to be well written. As she has PhD in History and also worked as a professional editor this was very understated approval.

[@V2designs]

Chris you definitely need to get a film under your belt!

[@kevinwebb82]

Hearing Pete say he's continuing his energy drink addiction and he went to a dog show. I thought he was going to say he was competing in the agility competition. Lol 😂

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

yep, got me a few 2nd hand kimonos, pants, tops and items while in japan XD would love to do it again!

[@WhiteCharisma]

Broad Sake! The epitome of the UK man coming to Japan and capitalizing on their alcohol! Next up, best selling sake in Japan! 🤣

[@cmaddox1020]

Have you tried adding sake kasu to miso soup or portage? It makes for an excellent addition. 👍🏻

[@Harambe_420]

Very nice episode 👍️

[@m4s0ok4]

11:43 last time a was in Scotland, drunk landlord meant absolute fun and accurate good whisky brewery 😂😂

[@MarcUK]

Paint Shop pro was a great budget graphics program for its time. Have many happy memories using it back in the late 90's. :-)

[@amberb6701]

Chris - Would you ever consider signing & mailing book plates? Basically like a signed card that can go inside the book.

[@Lightice1]

Golden Gai isn't especially crowded on weeknights outside one or two bars. So if you're on vacation, visit there all you want. Just know that it gets hectic on the weekends.

[@LargeHadronAnusCollider]

Thats helpful I wanted to check it out without the wall to wall body's

[@mto3009]

I just finished your "Abroad in Japan" book and really enjoyed it. I grew up in Japan on a military base until heading off to college, so your book brought back a lot of fond memories of living and traveling in Japan but from a true "Gaijin" perspective. Keep up the work and looking forward to your next book should you decide to publish.

[@lushfruit]

Cant wait for the special Tokyo Temple Transit episde XD

[@auberginebear]

I miss the podcast logo on the TV behind Pete, what happened to make it go away? Did the TV break?

[@auxbonnieux]

A new abroad in japan vid would be great...hopefully there's one coming soon

[@HypaBumfuzzle]

Excellent, I start work, Chris and Pete come to give me sustenance.

[@Oni_Evergarden]

I'm actually dying at Pete calling lawyers sexy.

[@ninetendopesaitama2107]

Didn't know there are cribs in Paris. You learn every day something new. ;) ☮️

[@kaile5050]

Aww, Chris defending one of Sharla’s favorite drinks 😃♥️🥛🍶

[@mcflurry10]

I also watch black belt barrister 🤣 good content!

[@Queltamas]

Prince Abroad. Sounds fun.

[@DaDudeb]

Go to the Watershed Bar in Akasaka, best bar in Tokio if you are ready to dish out 1600 to 2500 Yen for a drink. But those are world class drinks! The owner is a genuine mixologist.

[@arceus54321]

4:42 isn't the particle へ 😂

[@auberginebear]

Francis Ford Coppola did whatever he wanted with this new film because he paid for it all himself, so he didn’t have any production companies or shareholders to worry about. He had a vision and made it real, and I think that’s part of his genius.

[@theKTCalamity]

soooo Pete sounds like he's just...a raccoon. a raccoon that you've let into your home. just starts rummaging around.

26:50 is Goodwill only an American thing?

[@auberginebear]

Yes, but second hand shops like it are not exclusive to the US. A famous second hand chain in Japan is called Hard Off, for example.

[@TCJones]

People advertised on late night channel 4 in the 90's i am sure they can cope with adult topics on youtube..

[@MeowMeow_00000]

8:50 😧 oh my

[@saltycross]

💜💜💜

[@johnrivers3813]

It sounds like they got the authentic down town New York apartment experience

[@jamesfry8983]

I have been drinking sake for well over 10 years now, the trend doesn't surprise me.

[@Hairaluia]

Pete-if you don't stop touching your nose you'll be known as Picking Pete!

7:44 "minecrafted"

[@mgauci45]

I think Platoon was at least as good. :p

[@genericchannel5899]

CO-puh-luh Sofia made the best film an American has ever made in Japan.

[@pritchettpj]

Ryotaro or Natsuki could narrate the audiobook

[@30763076]

Could also be they saw "Oh westerners comming sigh" and then just gave them the shit.

[@grimcatnip]

Meanwhile here in America we drink more and young people drink it like water. Needa start importing more this way.

[@randyzeitman1354]

Anything in Japan be less than perfect given that everybody has to work every waking hour?

[@dennismurphy9135]

I’ve visited a lot of sake breweries in Japan and they’re definitely not all the same. You should check out some of the breweries like miyoshino shuzo in Nara or terada honke in Chiba to see how young brewers at old breweries are reinvigorating the industry. They both offer tours during brewing season. Alongside that, sake is growing quite a bit internationally. Besides the export market growth, breweries are being started all over the world. In the UK there’s at least two (dojima and kanpai). In the US where I live there’s at least a dozen. My wife runs a sake bar and shop and focuses primarily on education that’s also been slowly but steadily growing and we see a lot of passionate sake drinkers come through.

[@Jo-yt8bf]

damn, pete's a freak lmao

[@hiphopninja7]

Where the f are the regular videos?

[@marihanderkhan5663]

He is working on it

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

Do you not understand how tedious it is to film and edit a video...

[@bluein_]

if you listened to the podcast you'd know lmao they're coming, pace slowed down cuz the projects are bigger. give the man a break =)

[@Dregkar]

Combination of the cycleathon and his desire to make bigger videos. They're gonna be worth the wait

[@Stephen-up3sd]

Give the poor lad a break - he has had a little time out after cycling for 2 weeks and helping raise $1 million for charity!
