Wow.

Hello and welcome to the Abroad 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 as always, by England's top Japan enthusiast,

Mr. Pete Dantzell himself. Pete, how the devil are you doing? What's going on?

I'm good, Chris. I'm having a good couple of days. I've just been eating curries,

drinking Prosecco, and just generally sort of celebrating life as I know I suppose hanging out with

little child that seems to be sort of hanging around me these days and my two dogs I did drop

400 quid at the vets because one of the dogs was ill but other than that everything's everything's

hungry dory Chris everything's absolutely fine I hope you haven't got your child hooked on

your beloved monster energy drinks yet it's all downhill from now no no it's very much uh daddy's

umlet uh daddy makes an omelette every morning and she eats the omelet and she she's just a big omelet

big egg fan in general really egg and uh peewee's playhouse uh pee Herman and Peewee's Playhouse. We used to watch it when she was very young. Now we started picking it up and watching it again, and she gets even more out of it now. So I think that's going to be a lifelong love for her, the slightly murky man that is Mr. Peewey Herman. Oh, Jesus. Oh my God, man.

It's good, wasn't it?

Like, the difference it can make,

having the right or wrong parents and the way to spend their time with kids

and the things they show them.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, I've never seen Pee We Herman, apart for the one time you showed me.

And they told me about all the things that happened after.

It was the most expensive... And how his career ended in flames. It was the most expensive Charles TV show ever made at the time. It was something like $200,000, an episode. It's just a lot of animation in there. I think it's genuinely, you know, quite apart from, you know, Peewee doing stuff and collecting stuff that you shouldn't be collecting.

Um, uh, quite apart from, you know, Pee-wee doing stuff and collecting stuff that you shouldn't be collecting.
