Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Brawinger Pan Podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm J.H. Chris Broder, joined as always by Top London Radio DJ and certified Japaner file Mr. Pete Donaldson Pete. How are you doing?

It's hard to hear my flat, so I'm topless and having a lovely time doing a podcast with my good friend Chris.

People don't deserve that image in their head to kick things off.

No, no, this isn't it.

We've got listeners driving through the mountains of Indonesia and now they've got this image of you topless and a flat somewhere in London in their heads.

How are you doing?

Good, yeah. What has been going on?

What has been going on?

I was just about to sit with my birthday, I had a lovely time.

Well, someone sent me some blue flowers.

Somebody sent me some blue, like some spooky blue flowers. I don't know who it is.

We're just a hard saying. Boys will be boys.

I thought it was like a promotion for a video game, but I just think it might be an absolute radio listener.

I mean, they were lovely and they look very expensive, but they were blue Chris.

Frightening.

Did they stuff them through your letterbox or did they call you?

No, they went to the office in this beautiful box with the like a beautiful ribbon.

I was like, I mean, it's very nice, but I just don't know who did it.

That's why I don't enjoy Secret Santa because I get really wound up that I haven't thanked the person who bought me something.

I don't necessarily like the surprise in that particular context.
