Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Brunjapan podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast Mr Pete Donaldson Pete. How you doing?

I'm good man. It's a sunny day in London town. We are recording this a week in advance.

So obviously the big news on everyone's lips here is that Boris Johnson is in intensive care, hopefully just precautionary.

But I think he's important to set a style out now that if we're sort of saying, well, nothing would just go on this week.

You know, the Prime Minister's situation may have deteriorated. He may well be well on the road to recovery.

So let's set a style out of that way at Chris. But how are you, man?

Yeah, I'm not too bad. I do wish Boris Johnson the very best and I hope he's health and recovers regardless of what you think politically.

You know, this is, you have to brush politics aside at times like this.

Well, well, we'll just do a wash of people sort of going, if you're slugging off John Boris Johnson at a time like this.

I don't think anyone is to be honest. There's nobody putting caviar in.

There's sort of nobody's certainly not literally nobody's mentioning his political record. Nobody.

But the only people who are are the ones who are saying if you think that it's okay to have a go at the management, intensive care.

It's a strange place. Don't go on Twitter. Leave Twitter. If we learn nothing from this crisis, just go off Twitter.

It serves nothing. What's up?

It serves nothing. Crazy conspiracy theories serve nothing. Just don't talk to anyone.

Just listen to experts and just calm the F down. That's what I say.

And this is the expert. We're the experts with the Japan enthusiast with the coolest guys.

Get in.

Yeah, you know what? I spend most of my time. If I look at all the time I spend on social media, I probably spend more time on Twitter than any other one.

And weirdly, you know, I don't like Twitter in many ways. I don't like how negative people could be on there.
