Hello and welcome to the regular features podcast, but before we start the regular features podcast, as we do every week, I'd like to start with a fact.

And the fact is that, did you know that in Japan, Jersey Shores, literal translated name is

Macaroni Rascals.

Is that for real?

That's for real.

I've been holding on to that fact this whole time, because I knew I wanted to put it in the

intro.

It's called Macaroni Rascals.

Or perhaps translated it more figuratively, but perhaps. because I knew I wanted to put it in the intro. It's called macaroni rascals.

Or perhaps translated it more figuratively, but perhaps more accurately.

Pasta twats.

Macaroni jackasses.

Not macaroni jackasses.

Which I really liked.

So there you go.

Macaroni never changes.

That's always true.

Is this like a Japanese version of Jersey Shores? Or is it a dubbed version of the original Jersey Shore?

Snoopy and the rest. They're the macaroni rascals, which I think is beautiful. I never watched it. Do they eat a lot of macaroni? Is it just like ladlefuls going around in the background?

No, I think it's just because they're Italian-American. I think that's literally why. I don't think it's on. I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm just saying it is called macaroni rascals. I didn't realize they were Italian-Americans. I don't. They are. They still are, I do say. But, oh, that's offensive, Japan, actually. I don't. I don't. I don't. I just started searching for the word macaroni and then realized that I've typed macaroni rascals into my Google search really recently so that it just auto-filled. What a profane way to start the podcast. I think it's, you know, it's fine.

Oh yeah, I'm hosting.
