Wow!

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

I'm your host Chris Broderber, joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast,

Mr Pete Donaldson Pete, how the devil are you and ha ha ha, I'm finally Twitter verified.

Yes, my mentions on Twitter went slightly wild this morning after you've seen me in on your,

I'm going to say a boastful message about you finally getting Twitter verified.

It's been a long road Chris, it's been a long road and you've finally got that little blue tick next to your name, how does it feel?

Relatively anticlimactic, but I mean you've been you and Joey have been bullying me for like three years.

Oh we've been, kind of got it like three months ago, he's like, oh, we've only had with people that verified.

Fuck you, I've got it now, I'm the better man.

But no, it turns out I think I'd been applying for it wrong the last sort of six months,

because I applied for it like three times and failed and I applied for it yesterday and got it like straight away,

because I tried a different tactic. When you apply for it, you got to choose what you do and who you are.

And I said like I'm a person of interest, it was very vague.

Oh, and I've got a credit on my, I'm okay.

And this time I put myself down as a content creator, which is what I do, I guess, and I've got it more or less straight away.

So maybe it's my fault, I don't know.

It sounds very much like, well maybe that option didn't exist when you were applying or laws, maybe.

Possibly yes, in the past, but it just seems weird that the person of interest has been,

the person of interest people don't talk to the content creator and people.

They just don't know.

You're not a person of interest, you're a content creator.
