What is all, everybody, welcome back to the Shadalist podcast.

I'm on your host, Real Breaking Day, alongside Super Dober Danny and Mr. Jordan

Fringe is here in spirit right now because we are in Japan.

We are.

Right now actually.

And unfortunately, unfortunately, Mr. Jordan Fringe could not be here.

But we love him.

We miss him.

But next week, next week we'll all be back on the podcast. Backstreet's back. All right. I really wish I had the soundboard. Yeah. I have the soundboard when I travel. So that's the only unfortunate part. We've been making up our own sound effects. This has been great. We do have a big video that we're recording while we're over here. I mean, that's one of the main reasons while we're over here. One kind of vacation. Yeah. Explore and travel. Big video. Big video. So we've been working on this since August of last year. We got back from Worlds August of last year, 2023. And we're like, okay, we got to go back. We got to film something big. And we started working on it. And one thing led to another, and here we are. Yeah, in Japan. In Japan. But we've been traveling around Japan. So last week when we did the podcast, it was like literally towards the start of our trip, right? Yeah. We were in Tokyo still, I think. Yeah, we were in Tokyo. Yeah, looking at the boats. Yeah. On the river. That was great. And now we're in Kyoto. Yeah, we've gone to multiple cities. Yeah. Tokyo. Nagoya. Yeah. And then Kyoto. Yes. And then we were going to go to Osaka.

Yeah. And then last night we canceled at the very last minute. Yeah. And decided to stay in Kyoto for another day. Yeah. I think it worked out just fine. Yeah. We were talking about this when we were walking back to the hotel. Like this was probably a good idea to stay here. Yeah. Also, we loved Kyoto so much. we were like, oh, we should just stay here and enjoy it more.

It's so nice.

I mean, especially, we should just stay here and enjoy it more.

It's so nice. I mean, especially because we've been looking to see cherry blossoms, right?

We're like, we want to see just a big group of cherry blossoms, but everywhere we were going, we're like, oh, there's a tree.

Yeah, exactly. There's one that has cherry blossoms on.

And then once we got to Kyoto, it was just like all along the river. There's an alleyway that there's just a bunch of them. So we had to stay here another day. We got our fix. Seriously, like we went out of our way in Tokyo to search for the cherry blossoms. Nothing. There was, we found a street. There was a street that I looked up. Yeah, there was one stretch, but we had to go out of our way to find it. Here, we just like walked out of our hotel and there's rows of cherry blossoms. Oh yeah, you couldn't avoid it here. We actually got a hotel in a really good area to see them. Yeah. I don't know, like when we were researching our hotels, I think we were pretty intentional while making sure we were close by, you know, some fun stuff we wanted to see.

But it coincidentally also happened to be an area that was just beautiful and blooming with all

these trees.

Like that part was not expected.

And we are going to get to some talking about Pokemon here on this Pokemon podcast.

We eventually get to it.

Obviously a big world's discussion. Yeah. We've get to it. Obviously, a big world's discussion.
