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 Bored.

We're joined as always by Edmund's top Japan enthusiast. Mr. Pete Dawson, Pete, how the devil are you doing? Because you've now

got 100,000 subscribers on the Abroad Japan podcast. Well done, boy, well done. It's a celebration. It's

a Chris Broad celebration. Another feather in Chris Broad's Aquarius drinking cap.

You said you were off the muck.

You said you were going to stop drinking Pekari Sweat products,

and now you're back on Aquarius, the rival to the Pekari Sweat.

This is a celebration episode for the fact that on the YouTube

we are 100,000 listeners young. I don't really know what it means. I think we can apply for a plaque, though. I think we're going to apply for one of those plaques they've recently made a little bit smaller. You get your plaque. I think I got my first plaque. It must have been like 2016, the 100,000 one. And then there's the million one that was 2018. And then I've done nothing since the value. So YouTube's not rewarded me. It's cool. I think I told you, I couldn't find my plaque, the golden one for one million. I thought it never arrived. And then I went home, saw my parents. and they were like, I went in like the shed

and there was just the plaque on the floor and I'm like, how long have you had this? They were like, oh no, I don't know, four years. And I was like, oh my God, it's been here the whole time. I couldn't use this. Yeah. I just thought YouTube hadn't sent it, right? I thought I'd been conned and YouTube did send it and so I've got my plaque. what are you going to do with it?

Well, I don't know.

I looked into applying for it so we can stick it on the... and so I've got my plaque. What are you going to do with it? Well, I don't know.

I looked into applying for it so we can stick it on the wall of your studio and maybe

get a fake one made for our studio.

And we, and they basically said they're going to be looking into our suitability.

Apparently, even when you get to 100,000 subscribers on YouTube,

you still got to wait 10 days for them to look at whether you're suitable or not.

So I don't know what that means.

I don't think we're that offensive.
