Wow.

Hello and welcome to the Broad Japan podcast.

Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host, Chris Broad.

We're joined, as always, by Ingen's Top.

Yeah. Japan. Yeah.

Enthusia. Yeah. Mr. Pete Donaldson. Pete. How you doing? What's going on? I'm good. I'm in Stack Towers. You're in Stack Towers. And it's just good to... The heart of the Donaldson Empire. I know. Exactly. It's where all of our lenses live, Chris in many ways.

You're enjoying the

array of lenses

that we've got here?

Why?

So I have this camera

you're using Blackmagic 6K with the Sigma 18 to 35. Right. Beautiful combination. A beautiful combination. Yeah. And I never used it once. Right. You've only used it once. It just makes you look fat. Because look at this, I just

look fat.

I'm not,

I think,

you know people like,

the camera ads 50 pounds. Some of them do. Some of them do. This shit does. Yeah. So I, I feel like if you're going to ease the setup, I need a filter. Right. How can you filter out the...

Or pointy chin.

It's definitely not my reckless Christmas New Year's cheese diet. It's the camera and the lens. So when you have like a... I mean, we're probably shooting, what, 35mm whatever? It makes you look fat. Right. So interesting. You use a 16mm lens at a lofted angle. So're looking up helps the jawline. Yeah, but we're sports enthusiast, aren't we? We sort of pretend... Pools. We're muscular or something. Broadens us out a little bit. This is the alpha male sigma... The fucking lens is called Sigma. It makes you look like a sigma. Sigma, alpha male, dick. Didn't somebody sort of saying the whole alpha male, the wolf thing, the alpha male wolf wolf thing is all, it's not real. Like it doesn't, it doesn't actually happen. Like, wolves don't, uh, you know, roll in, in kind of, um, uh, in groups like that. Like alpha, the, the very notion of an alpha thing is actually, um, it was based on somebody not really understanding how it all kind of worked. And I think the bloke who discovered the term alpha, um, apologised because he said, uh, my later kind of findings meant that there wasn't actually enough of thing. So all of this stuff that, you know, quite toxic male culture bases itself on, being a, being the boss doesn't really exist in nature. You are the boss? I am the boss, and I do exist in nature, someone would suggest. You wouldn't know you're the boss? What do you mean? Well, no one respects me. No, no one respects me. I can't get anything

done around here.

Can nobody
