00:00 Reunited With Japanese Sake After Months in America
03:56 17 Years Ago, Japanese Vending Machines Sold Beer to High Schoolers
11:16 We Drank Beer at School Festivals (And Teachers Knew)
22:58 The Wildest Drunk Experience: Girl Fell Asleep on My Shoulder
36:19 A Random Guy Offered Me Gummy Bears on the Yamanote Line
39:26 He Just Said "Good Job" With Zero Context


After Austin returns from months in America, he and Arthur reunite over sake to share their most memorable experiences living in Japan. The conversation takes a wild turn as they reminisce about Austin's high school days 17 years ago when vending machines freely sold alcohol to minors in the Kansai area, and teachers looked the other way while students drank beer at school festivals.

The stories get even crazier when they dive into drunk train encounters - from a random stranger pulling out gummy bears on a packed Yamanote train and sitting on the floor to share them, to a drunk salaryman giving Arthur an enthusiastic "Good job!" thumbs up with absolutely no context. These unfiltered stories reveal what daily life in Japan is really like for foreigners, beyond the polished image you see in travel vlogs.

Key moments:
How impossible it is to find good sake in America (spoiler: only 8 options at a huge liquor store)
The craft sake brewing trend taking off in Portland
Austin's two distinct Japan experiences: high school student vs. adult
Why vending machines in Kansai used to sell alcohol to anyone 17 years ago
The public sports high school where beer at festivals was normal
Shibuya's role in Austin's most memorable moments
The chaos of drunk people on the last train from Shibuya
Why Arthur appears "unapproachable" on trains (spoiler: resting face)
Random acts of friendliness that only happen when everyone's hammered
