| 0:00.0 | Wow! |
| 0:17.0 | Hello and welcome to probably the best way to experience life with Pete Donaldson without actually being around |
| 0:23.2 | Pete Donaldson. I'm joined by me, Pete Donaldson, because I'm the only one here this week because Chris |
| 0:30.0 | Broad is dead. Dead sad that he can't be on the podcast this week because of two reasons |
| 0:37.1 | basically. One is in Tokyo, he's very busy, he's not in his podcast studio and I basically |
| 0:41.9 | royally mugged him off by taking two weeks off so he couldn't record the podcast for two weeks. |
| 0:45.9 | I went to Korea and now I'm back and it kind of left us schedule in bits. Left I showed you |
| 0:51.6 | looking like a Venn diagram in which one circle is in one room and the other circle is outside |
| 0:56.9 | on the cigarette so we could not find a time when we could do the podcast together. So next week |

| 1:34.0 | like right a strikes and when there was contractual disputes, corn, and stuff like that. Anyway |
| 1:39.0 | due to the fact that we know heck of a lot of you started listening to the abroad in Japan |
| 1:44.0 | podcast a couple of weeks ago when Chris mentioned the existence of the podcast on one of his |
| 1:49.6 | disgracefully popular YouTube videos on his channel. So we thought that the main body of this |
| 1:53.5 | week's show could be like a look back at some of the highlights and the first few episodes |
| 1:57.6 | that you might have missed and also I'll answer a couple of emails that have come into the |
| 2:03.4 | abroad in Japan podcast email box where the email is directed mainly at me and not Chris |
