Mobility is a must. I am 62 and from Australia, never really been into fitness and I am starting to suffer with arthritis. Something to be said for Asian and japanese countries that practice thai chi etc from early on. Always enjoy your podcasts
Japan doesn’t do Tai Chi, it’s just walking. It’s an extremely walkable country with great public transport and market alleys people go to every day. They may also keep tending a farm or collect things in the forest that people still do a lot in rural areas. This is the kind of active lifestyle that is lost in countries that relies solely on private cars to do anything in life.
The secret is "pension scam" not mobility People were not documented that well so it was easier to say you were 10 years older etc Also relatives didn't report on elder's death
The persimmon story reminded me of my trip to Japan in 2011, when a stranger gave me a bag of apples in the middle of the street in Takarazuka. Never heard of this happening to someone else haha
I wish 21 days video came out a little earlier, I´m leaving tomorrow for 21 days on my second trip haha. Difference, this time with a toddler! I´d love to see a video on traveling in Japan with kids, or activities to do with kids, though Chris doesn´t have any (yet). Maybe a fun idea for a video to do featuring Felix?
How apt that I listened to this episode sitting on a shinkansen from Fukuoka Hakata in the seat for the reserved luggage section at the back of the carriage. 😂 And once I heard you talking about this, I reclined my seat as I didn't realise you could! I'm also doing 3 weeks in Japan right now so I'll be interested to see what you suggest.
Uploaded 2 minutes ago? I haven't been this early to something since I was born. Edit: I'm absolutely loving how unhinged some of these conversations are lol. Especially talking about the guy trying to live forever, and his weird night time routines 😂
One day I will catch up. Ive been trying to get through the podcast for the last year I’m only on 2020 atm, I hope I can get here at some point 😭. Much love and thanks for your efforts.
I've done that train ride in both directions, fuji view from the train went from sunny to snowy within a few days. It might be better than dealing with airport travel, needing to get to and from the airport, deal with the whole boarding process... But I'd avoid it if I can, try to make at least one stop in each direction.
Yeah, the first ever "Ig Nobel award" for the field of Demography was won this year by Saul Justin Newman, for basically debunking the "Blue Zones" phenomena. A lot of the people they used to back up the data were actually dead, but were listed as still being alive in order to massage the figures; there's also the weird fact that they picked Okinawa specifically to be a "blue zone," despite certain measures of health (like BMI, vegetable intake, etc) being worse in Okinawa than in other parts of Japan. The actual paper is called “Supercentenarians and the Oldest-Old Are Concentrated into Regions with No Birth Certificates and Short Lifespans,” which just spells it out so beautifully.
Not to be the one that always corrects, but persimmons are not mikan (oranges) as the person told in the first story, they are actually called "kaki" in Japanese and it's a completely different fruit. Mikan are a citrus, persimmons are not.
Thank you for calling Bryan Johnson a daft bastard, that made my day. Just recently watched a very good video essay on him by Lily Alexandre, highly recommend. "He carved out hin insides and replaced them with nothing" is a quote from her video that still haunts me.
The envelope rules drive me up a freaking wall!! If you don't accept the cash I'm giving you because it's in the "wrong" envelope? Then you're just not getting paid!!
Fun fact: Natsuki's wife's hairsalon has gotten a lot of positive reviews on maps. Probably also a lot more tourists visit the Sakata region, all thanks to Chris ❤
'asian squat' is the phrase you're looking for, it's basically how humans are supposed to rest in terms of body mechanics. I was always taught as an American that sitting on your haunches or sitting on the floor is something that little children do, but everyone over the age of 9 was expected to sit in chairs. turns out chairs destroy your posture by encouraging slouching and de-incentivize core strength though!
I don't know if the team or Chris will be able to read this, but did you know Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity was inspired by a trip to Sendai? Just came from a video David Hartley's channel about the song, and the "cause we all live underground line" came from riding a train in the city.
The act of giving someone free fruit like that is something that could only happen in places like Japan, if that happened to me in the UK I would assume they were drugged or poisoned, and if it happened while I was outside the UK I wouldn't touch them as I would assume it was the scam of trying to force me to buy them by making me hold them, it's not like going to your neighbour and asking if the want some, you have to go out of your way to give them to people completely selflessly
It's not that uncommon in Europe either. In the countryside that is. Here in the south of Austria for example i regularly get apples and cherries from people in my village.
In Sweden people who have fruit trees in their gardens often have a basket of surplus fruit outside their property where passersby can help themselves to free apples or plums etc.
More money doesn’t result in higher birthrates, billionaires barely have more kids than the average. Only poverty and religion correlate to high birth rates.
A guy I dated in Japan straight up fasted 3 days cuz he was distracted lol is def believe the lower food intake would help longevity given everything we know about autophagy ~ no surprise a Japanese scientist is credited for proving its existence lol
Hey Chris, and Pete, avid listener of the podcast here! Just wanted to let you know, the posting of your podcast is a bit behind on RUclips music, the latest being the one titled "Chris survived the Angriest Japanese Man" or something. Best wishes.
well,honestly i don't think it is something to celebrate when you have so many people that live more than 100 years. Especially if they are not able to look after themselves. I know i will be crucified now,but in the near future such a huge old population will be unsustainable.
Are either of you aware that weirdly, in the UK, persimmons have the more unappetising name Sharon Fruit? I think this blinded me to their deliciousness for years
we've begun to create the legalese for flying cars, Minnesota I mean, we're the 2nd state to start preparing for it because right now if you can afford it certain light (car) aircraft you could fly without even a license so they really want to start to regulate that & plan where launch points will be, that sort of thing as the Fed plans to, was it 2030 or 2040 at some point every car manufactured will have to have a black box type system & yeah there's a lot coming in the future
Question is, is it worth being alive at that kind of age where you don't know if you peed yourself or your blood pressure is up again, don't know what you did yesterday, last week or for the past 90 years, or even don't know where you are most of the time?
The secret is "pension scam" not mobility People were not documented that well so it was easier to say you were 10 years older etc Also relatives didn't report on elder's death
The oldest people currently alive probably had healthier diets, does that mean the population decline will increase as those with less healthy diets won't live as long? (and birthrates are probably not likely to improve...)
They need to give people more time off and less stressed out. i feel like its the intensity of the work culture in Japan that makes people less interested in having kids.
*stares in my grandma is 99 and not Japanese* I don't think Japan is the only group who lives well and long. I think Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z got screwed and there's little we can do about it but try to live our best. 🤷🏾 Anyway I don't wanna live that long if my memory goes put me out of my misery.
Pete, you need to eat dark leafy greens to alkalise your body. That helps prevent calcification of the joints in arthritis. Cut back on acidic foods and drink like carbonated fizzy drinks too.
Honestly I think Pete's got it wrong here, firstly shellac is not regular old plastic, it's like a natural "plastic", it's made from bugs and less durable than e.g. PU plastics, it's not real plastic imo. On the other hand, do you know what does consist of PU plastics though? Microplastics, and you know what contains microplastics? Fish, 99% of all fish.. Okinawans love fish, and you know what lasts forever? Good old plastic.. Tldr; Eating plastic is the secret to living forever
I think the best explanation on "Leads the World" is best explained by the VERY RECENT out-for-peer-review statistical analysis that purports to show welfare fraud and shoddy record keeping is at least a VERY likely explanation, especially as the lifespans of people born in times of rigorous birth registrations and serious programs of ID control and verification seem to mark a step change DOWNWARDS in PURPORTED long life spans.
Dear Chief Executive Chris, I was looking at your Lost website. Can I make a suggestion? One is to add a menu with the prices and a picture of the Items. Also, 2 other ideas are to test whether or not having the cheese melted would sell well and see if customers would like to buy chili jam to go with the Crackers and cheese.
Hard work for many hours every day. That's the secret. And very confined spaces such as housing and urban public transport. Mass squeezing is comfy. I reckon hard drinking helps too.
The talk at 26:00 about Brain Johnson is annoying as hell to listen to, it's obvious you guys don't know anything about the guy, literally just piling shit upon shit constantly when talking about him, miss-representing the guy and what he's doing to himself. He is literally experimenting on himself, and showing the results and sharing what he's trying out for everyone to see it's very interesting and educational. Wether he looks weird or not and you want to mention that is completely fine, but the ignorance displayed at this part of the podcast is nonstop and hard on the ears, it's just shit talking with no knowledge what so ever, and even making up stuff about him, stop that my god.
What's up gents, both looking the worse for wear? Perhaps Chris should join Pete in his half-hour shower, then you can trim each other's facial growths at the same time.

Another fantastic showing from Pete. Love his energy and wit these days.

Just love this podcast. How funny that last week there was a question about northern lights, and then the world could see them.
Really looking forward to that 21 days in Japan video. Planning to be there for 21 days in March
Enjoy!
I wish 21 days video came out a little earlier, I´m leaving tomorrow for 21 days on my second trip haha.
Difference, this time with a toddler!

We eating Extended Play today, humans🎉
My grandmother lived to 106. Hooray for longevity 🎉
My great grandmother made it to 100years and 10 months. I even got to meet her!
That French woman adopted her mother's identity who gave birth to her as a teen, kind of like some vampire highlander
Typical of the French.....

Sumo is awesome, i keep up with all 6 tournaments, the next one is about to start on the 10th Nov in Fukuoka.
I've done that train ride in both directions, fuji view from the train went from sunny to snowy within a few days.
It might be better than dealing with airport travel, needing to get to and from the airport, deal with the whole boarding process...

Pete you’re talking about the Asian Squat when you kneel.
Chris, you need to go once its amazing, i went in Osaka many years ago when living there. Its a japanese visual feast.

By having a diminishing younger population and working their middle aged population to the bone.

I just don’t understand why they don’t just have plain ones, that don’t mean death or whatever. Could have just made one out of a sheet of paper 🤷♀️
Yeah, my thought exactly 🤔
I’ve made lemon, blackberry, quince; apricot and fig jam this summer! Only lemon and apricots were bought …
The envelope rules drive me up a freaking wall!! If you don't accept the cash I'm giving you because it's in the "wrong" envelope? Then you're just not getting paid!!
"Do you want -- some persimmons?"
"Arigato gozimas..."
The two spies part ways... secrets having been exchanged.
😂😂😂

You filmed an entire video just for my upcoming 3 week trip next year? Aw, you shouldn't have.
8:56 south uk? There’s no such thing Broad. Don’t be afraid to say England, it won’t hurt you.

Hi Mister Broad, could you cite your sources? Would love to have a reference article
The act of giving someone free fruit like that is something that could only happen in places like Japan, if that happened to me in the UK I would assume they were drugged or poisoned, and if it happened while I was outside the UK I wouldn't touch them as I would assume it was the scam of trying to force me to buy them by making me hold them, it's not like going to your neighbour and asking if the want some, you have to go out of your way to give them to people completely selflessly

Silly Pete, of course we have trains in the US. Though I'm not sure what dragons have to do with trailing wedding dresses.
Pete’s sour grapes towards Brian Johnson are absolutely delicious.
LOVE the idea of scales that tell you when you are gonna die hahaha
The suburb Cockburn gets a giggle in Perth. The ck is silent, apparently it might be something Scottish.

Hey Chris, and Pete, avid listener of the podcast here! Just wanted to let you know, the posting of your podcast is a bit behind on RUclips music, the latest being the one titled "Chris survived the Angriest Japanese Man" or something.
Best wishes.
well,honestly i don't think it is something to celebrate when you have so many people that live more than 100 years. Especially if they are not able to look after themselves. I know i will be crucified now,but in the near future such a huge old population will be unsustainable.
Are either of you aware that weirdly, in the UK, persimmons have the more unappetising name Sharon Fruit? I think this blinded me to their deliciousness for years
we've begun to create the legalese for flying cars, Minnesota I mean, we're the 2nd state to start preparing for it because right now if you can afford it certain light (car) aircraft you could fly without even a license so they really want to start to regulate that & plan where launch points will be, that sort of thing as the Fed plans to, was it 2030 or 2040 at some point every car manufactured will have to have a black box type system & yeah there's a lot coming in the future

Plan 75... Has somebody in Japan been watching Logan's Run?
Pills are usually in gelatin caps, not plastic. 🤦🏻♀️
The oldest people currently alive probably had healthier diets, does that mean the population decline will increase as those with less healthy diets won't live as long? (and birthrates are probably not likely to improve...)
Already happening - For the first time in recorded history longevity is starting to decline in the developed world, along with average IQ’s!
Was Japan able to see the Comet that only passes Earth every 80,000 Years ?
Great question!
They need to give people more time off and less stressed out. i feel like its the intensity of the work culture in Japan that makes people less interested in having kids.

Pete, you need to eat dark leafy greens to alkalise your body. That helps prevent calcification of the joints in arthritis.
Cut back on acidic foods and drink like carbonated fizzy drinks too.
According the wikipedia the average life span of a sumo wrestler is 65, with many health issues caused by the lifestlye and diet.
Honestly I think Pete's got it wrong here, firstly shellac is not regular old plastic, it's like a natural "plastic", it's made from bugs and less durable than e.g. PU plastics, it's not real plastic imo.

Okinawans love fish, and you know what lasts forever? Good old plastic..
Tldr; Eating plastic is the secret to living forever
I bet Japanese people live longer because they don't eat seed oils like we do in North America and Europe.
I would guess men in Japan don’t live as long because of chronic stress and fatigue from work, but we’d have to see the data of course.
I think the best explanation on "Leads the World" is best explained by the VERY RECENT out-for-peer-review statistical analysis that purports to show welfare fraud and shoddy record keeping is at least a VERY likely explanation, especially as the lifespans of people born in times of rigorous birth registrations and serious programs of ID control and verification seem to mark a step change DOWNWARDS in PURPORTED long life spans.

Ooooo!
Good ideas!!
The real answer is that Dr. Nakumats figured it out decades ago... apparently.
Ok, now do how many children were born... rapidly aging population.
The man who 'invented' jogging did die of a suspected heart attack, but he was 87 at the time.
You’re thinking of someone else. James Fizz was the man who popularized jogging. He died age 52 whilst jogging.
Japan = Logan's Run
You do realize that when sumo wrestlers retire they lose all that weight, right?
Diet and genetics
sorry ptrfer your videos . ans super dhupper found some vids from 8 years ago.HURRAY...but u n Pete are well balanced

No not everyone can recline. My spinal issues makes it so I can't
