  1. This is great and needed, Dogen! The History of Japan podcast had an episode a couple months ago about student activists in Japan in the 60s and 70s and how they occupied campuses to address social problems and actually had some success. Maybe too much "room reading" isn't that healthy after all.

  2. I know these fortunes are just "entertainment" but I couldn't help but feel sorry for "Thomas" in this skit. Very well crafted, Kevin!

  3. As great as your year was with increasingly funny and sophisticated content, having Takashii on was the coup-de-grace! Perfect straight man playing it perfectly!

  4. Yes, Jordan, I agree with you. Voter participation is a Big Frackin' Deal and if the young people could form any kind of coherent message, a lot of older LDP leaning voters would probably support them.

  5. The passive-agressive tense in Japanese grammar featuring "jozu"! Brilliant, Kevin!

  8. I thought that a Sado-masochist was someone who didn't like taiko drums vacationing on the butterfly shaped island off Niigata!

  11. At 1:37, you nailed it like Martin Luther's 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenburg Cathedral.

  18. Thanks Dougen!

  19. Kevin, you asked the question at the end that I ask every AI. I think that humans are the problem and that we should go extinct.

  20. Priorities!

  26. Kevin, I think this is a serious topic (about creeping Americanization of the Japanese diet {and Diet}), which the ending drives home so pithily.

  27. This is a universal condition. I was the same way with the original Star Trek series--adorkably unsufferable.

  33. When Matt mentions Dunning=Krueger at about 26:00 is golden, It means when you are not aware of your deficiencies and think you are doing great. cf Trump 2020 Covid response.
