    I would love to see someone make muppets version of Eric and Tom in the style of Statler and Waldorf( pardon the probably misspelling of the muppets names). Also sadly I think Zaxbys has since discontinued their birthday cake milkshake.

    Tom, you are SO correct. If you can’t hear the old Chinese couple yelling at each other in the kitchen and the sound of them throwing pans around….walk out ! Eric, Watching Most extreme elimination years ago dubbed in English is hilarious. Eric thanks for bringing back that fond memory from years ago!!! Love the pod. Can’t wait for more Japan

    I live in the Bay Area in California and I don't care if I'm a hundred years old - which I might be by the time it's finished- I am absolutely going to ride California High Speed Rail from San Jose to Anaheim. Disney trips could actually be more than a once a year prospect if getting there was fast and convenient.

    Eric you should totally take the train for the cruise. I did that to go to disney before our cruise. Flew in to ft Lauderdale train to disney and back. It was relaxing and food was good, we had the premium car.

    Another really cool spot in Japan I really want to go is the worlds oldest hotel in Japan. It has been open since 705 AD. It is called Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan (Yamanashi, Japan). It is absolutely gorgeous and if you had time, it would be a great place to visit and stay at.

    We've got Cane's where I live, but not Zaxby's. I'll have to give it a try sometime to see how it compares. Enjoyed the podcast as always! Maybe you should branch out and create Chicken Tender News Today. "CTNT" rolls off the tongue pretty well!

    My top 3 chicken chains are Guy's, Chick-Fil-A, and Slim Chickens. I like Slim's because they have chicken and waffles, and I think they have one of the best fast-food shakes.

    The train to Osaka vs planes thing. You might’ve stumbled onto induced demand. As in they made it easier to get to Osaka so more people decided to go.

    42:00 I'm super jealous of Japan's trains. I can take the train from Southern Maine to Boston, but there's no lines running north anymore, which is too bad.

    I grew up in Oklahoma - we also had Taco Tico!
    The Dawn Robot restaurant…there re videos out there showing the workers at home. It is genuinely moving to see how happy they are to be able to participate in society. Would be great for you to shed some light on it!
    Don’t remember if you mentioned Eggs n Things on your list? There are heaps all over Japan, and they are connected to the one in Hawaii across from Aulani. So trippy to go to a fully Hawaiian themed restaurant in Japan!
    Oh, and…Asakusa = aa-saak-saa

    Tom what airline do you choose to fly to Tokyo. Which route. And reasons why.

    • @WDWNT
      @WDWNT  22 дня назад +1

      I fly Delta most for status and their customer service always takes very good care of me.

    • @meanderingmouse
      @meanderingmouse 15 дней назад

      Once you start taking long haul flights, it pays to stick to one airline to gain status. You can quickly grab free or heavily discounted first class seats by crossing the pacific. Having a “bed” when flying 10-16 hour hauls becomes a huge deal. I started flying to visit Tokyo and Hong Kong Disney for my podcast back in the day and stuck with Continental / United in order to secure biz first service for nothing but miles and a co-pay. Tom should be doing the same.

    Dude, Japanese pizza is stupid good. I went to a handful of brick oven pizza places in Japan, and it was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. I know Japan does everything with excellence, but it was so weird to go all the way to Japan and find great pizza.

    Most Pokemon can be either male or female. The ones that are the general exceptions are legendary and mythical ones which are usually genderless but some are a specific set gender. There are also some steel types that are based on objects that are genderless.
