jim_prod
I guess this is a late welcome to Japan because you've been here for like, how long have you been here now? Like a month or two? We left when you got here. Yeah, it was so fun. Like, I was so excited to finally come on trash tape, meet you guys, and then you guys just to go. We heard you were coming. We heard you were coming. We were like, nah, I don't want to fuck with this guy. So much time to not go anywhere.
00:01:21
jim_prod
yes yeah yeah like how How has your Japan experience been so far? Pretty good. Having a lot of fun. You're basically retired at this point, I feel. why That's what everyone says with the belongs. You're just like enjoying your retirement in Japan now. yeah Well, we have a lot of, you know, chill to catch up with. yeah I feel like I'm doing more stuff here than I've done like the last three years in UK. Well, there's not much to do in the UK. If you don't drink at pubs, there's really yeah options of limiting. And even if you do drink at pubs, it's just like how many times a week can I drink in a pub and do something new, you know? it's Let's go to the next pub. To be fair, even Japanese people are like, you're doing more stuff than I've done for years. Because they're working all day. They don't stop. They have to do this thing called work.
00:02:11
jim_prod
Well, that's why I move in Japan, right? as ah As a YouTuber, it's like, it's great. You get like the best of both worlds. You get to enjoy the really cool parts about Japan without having to partake in the normal ah work culture, show man like which is notoriously one of the worst in the world. That's really bad. Were you always, ah did you always have like a fascination with Japan? I can't remember if you did or just kind of like you just came here once and you were like, yeah. Yeah. It was ah my wife Marte who wanted to go and I was like, sure, whatever. and then like yeah i I've always been into anime, but I never had like a big obsession with Japan. Yeah. I feel it's just, you're probably just like, we're, you know, exposed to a lot of Japanese like culture, right? Like, you know, like obviously the anime, but also like just the games and stuff like that. So I feel you kind of just like, I feel like everyone kind of, that's why there's a lot of curiosity. Yeah, definitely. definitely
Moving Challenges and COVID-19 Impact
00:03:00
jim_prod
Was there a point where you came to Japan? You're like, shit, I can see myself. Yeah, what was the tipping point? Yeah, that that was actually four years ago. driving like that We were here for a month. and we And yeah, after that, we were like, damn, we really don't want to go home. This is actually really good. Was that the trip by Mitchell? Or was that after that? No, it was after that. We used to come here every year. Yeah, we stayed a little longer, like a month, and then we were just like, damn, it's actually really nice. So we had a meeting with people. I'm like, oh, how's the visa going to go? And they were like, um.
00:03:31
jim_prod
Like a couple months and then we we're good were like, okay, great. So we were planning our wedding at the same time. Yeah. And we were like, okay, let's keep, we're going to make this work. We're going to do it as fast as possible. And then, yeah, obviously COVID hit. And two years. I think three years. three years the Close to three years. Yeah. It was pretty brutal. Yeah. Yeah. It was not fun. but now I'm here, so just move on. And no one else can enter still. I was gonna say, I was like, everybody thought that you just like did it on a whim, I feel like, in some way, in some place on YouTube. they were like, what does he get to go in? I've been trying to go in for the past two years. ah Maybe, I don't know, like.
00:04:07
jim_prod
It took a long time, but we didn't really talk about it. I was so fucking pissed off having to wait too, and I was just so mad. But I was trying to hold it in because I didn't want to be entitled by entering a country, but it else yeah, it was rough. was trying pans People are already pick you about it. and they' already like Yeah. not Oh yeah. You have to deserve to come. to Japan. You can't just like anime and play Nintendo. you didn't really enjoy That's the problem. If you do only like anime and you want to go to Japan, it's like you're everything that's wrong with tourists that go to Japan. We don't warn you here. Well, because the thing is like, you were waiting for two years to come in Japan, but I think we were waiting two years to leave Japan. First opportunity, we're like, all right, see are you.
00:04:52
jim_prod
know Yeah, but like now that we're now that we're back, like I've really, really missed a lot of like little things in Japan, yeah like you traveling out there. I can't imagine how it's been for you just like experiencing, just living here for the first time for the first four months. Has there been like any like different like little things that you've noticed living here that you've really enjoyed and maybe some things that you haven't? and when There's a lot of fucking paperwork. yeah ah most are understands the pain yeah but We got a taste of that before obviously. true yeah visa You kind of realize Jesus Christ. I had to resubmit it three times as well because it kept expiring. And so it's like redo all the papers and. Yeah. But even like getting Edgar ever sounded. Oh my God. That sounded worse than getting you go yeah ah yeah yeah to out a fucking private jet for that.
00:05:44
jim_prod
yeah we did get a yeah so real alpha move if i yeah say I actually, we thought about it quite early. Like, okay, how can we make this easier to bring our dogs over? Cause it was such a hassle. And then Marta proposed like getting a private jam. I was like, no fucking way I'm paying that. Why would I ever do that? That's so stupid. But then the whole process is so complicated. And then my dog was one kilo overweight Yeah, for we did all the airlines in the entire world. get a Like swear I've yeah. Yeah. called Yeah. Yeah. So it's every airline a real alpha move. ever. There's one airline that was like, it's okay. But if people have a Falcon on board, then you can't go.
00:06:21
jim_prod
Falcon. Yeah, some like Eastern countries, they prioritize Falcons on the... What? What? Like, what are these rules? You wouldn't weigh a baby. We go by the predator list. Whoever's on top gets first dish. You know how it is. I mean, you know, we put them in a pen, we see what happens. We get by the moon, but we can't control the food chain, you know? If there's two chickens, we've got to fight. Survival of the fittest, man. I'm not rolling the dice on the Falcon. I like how they're just like, Falcon's pretty sick, though. Like I was specifically a falcon, out of everything. No other predator. How many people are transporting falcons out there in the world? They have a lot of falcons. But yeah, so we didn't risk that. And then my dog was one kilo too, too fat. And we had already dieted him once. It was really slim and ready for the flight. But then obviously everything got delayed.
Flying with Pets and Airline Absurdities
00:07:11
jim_prod
Was there a part of you that didn't want to tell YouTube you got a private jet? Because you didn't want to deal with people being like, oh, you got a private jet, so how to touch? Yeah. Well, cause people, I feel so a little bit weird about that. You know, being like, Oh, it's just trying to fight. How much do you have to pretend like you don't have money? I just don't like the whole, like for the environmental reasons, I guess that felt a little bit shitty, but I felt like we had a decent, I mean, you're not taking a nine minute jet ride. So I feel like that's, you know, you took one of the longest possible rides you could have. I'm not trying to justify it for you. It was a good purchase. Quite frankly, I mean, Yeah, it was pretty cool. I mean, all the dogs, I would do exactly the same thing. All the dogs, I'll allow it. They're basically a children at this point, right? I'd do it for my kids. I wouldn't do it for my kids. A dog though, maybe. I would say I would do it for my kids, but actually it would just be for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True, true, true. The tier list goes Falcon, dog, and then kid. No, no, no.
00:08:12
jim_prod
Kids are so prioritized you wouldn't wait like the dog has to weigh a certain amount of kilos. Yeah, my dog was too fat That's why we had to dig the kid a kick and but you wait yeah you like hold up How much is that child way So why the dance? Yeah, it is we. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I never thought about it like that because I've never had to transport animals. ah Thankfully. but What about like allergies and stuff? Any other? It's not my fault. What if I have kid allergy? No shit like no kids. please Most people would prefer to sit next to a dog. I would 100%. If there was an option in my flight, I would take that every time.
00:08:49
jim_prod
Crying baby versus dog, of course. Of course I'm gonna pick the dog every time, you know? Definitely. Very true, very true. I mean, as I'm sure we all all had enough experience with flights where there's just that one kid that just... oh my come the kid there I'm like, ah you know, it's like the kid decided, you know what, I'm gonna fuck with everyone today. I'm gonna cry. They do though. and like I'm like, we're out of a jurisdiction, right? I can get away from it. We have our international orders. Yeah. Well, like the babies, I can understand because, you know, no, yeah they baby they can't control it. But sometimes when they, there are some kids that are like three or four yeah and their parents just like let them do whatever they want. That's the ones that really like, grind my gears. I don't think kids should be in business class. I don't think they've earned it. I just don't, who puts a kids in business i wear and I went on the business class and there's two kids had their own seat. And I'm like, you
00:09:41
jim_prod
yeah i Even if I was a billionaire, I'm putting my kid in the worst economy seat. the least right and he i got blame my He's not going to appreciate the business when he gets it. The kid is not going to appreciate it. I don't care how rich you are. or Either that or the kid's going to get used to it. and like Wow. You got the we got the small seats like a fucking
