0:00.0	Wow.
0:11.5	Hello and welcome to the Abroad Japan podcast.
0:13.9	Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan.
0:17.2	I'm your host, Chris Broader, but joined as always by England's top Japan enthusiast,, Mr Pete Donaldson. Pete, how the devil? How are you doing? What's going on?
0:24.3	Hello, Christoph. I'm very well. Thank you very much. Had a busy week. We have been moving
0:28.7	Stack Studios and we have been dealing with my love of smashing stuff up, taking things down,
0:40.8	and my intense disinterest in putting them back up again. I spent an entire, about day and a half, with a pry bar slash crowbar, a rotating
0:51.2	grinding wheel.
0:53.3	Yeah, exactly.
0:54.0	I got destroyed. I've got to say that down. And now we're in the new place. And. rotating grinding wheel. Yeah, exactly.
0:56.6	Like I've just talked about before and I'll take that down.

1:34.7	the critically acclaimed Ryotteros Japan. And he, it was quite easy to smash things up when
1:41.3	you're in a room with Ryotro because you just one look at him.
1:43.3	Ah, that says what, five years. Could it is you are having to smash things up when you're in a room with Riottaro because you just one look at him. Look at his sense. Ah, that says what, five years. Could it is you are having to smash the things, not me. Well, I only think, I mean, I beat him with the hammer and you're not supposed to do that. Smash Ryotoro.
