SPEAKER_03So we should write a song about French fries because they have National French fries days.
SPEAKER_00Oh wow. Well, maybe that's a whole business model. We just find every obscure holiday that doesn't have a song, and then we write the song and they're like, eh.
SPEAKER_03National Donuts Day.
SPEAKER_00National Donuts Day. Yeah, we could write a song about donuts. Ice cream.
SPEAKER_03Ah! National Ice Koream Day.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you know, I've been slacking on um Japanese. Uh I I've gotten a lot of Japanese like more memes are coming through my phone. I could have brought them up.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but not ice cream anymore.
SPEAKER_00No, ice cream is is old now.
SPEAKER_01Now the new one goes um ding, didn't ding, didn't, dining, didn't, thing, dining, dining, dining, dining, ding, ding. Sono kyku.
SPEAKER_03It's this huge, it's this huge meme. Sono kyokushi teru kido nan no kyoku.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean, it sounds like a like a like some kind of thing. Yeah, maybe it is uh already a song, but someone made an animation to it and it's like a a momotaro kind of animation.
SPEAKER_03So ne Momotaro no tan.
SPEAKER_00Oh, is it a Momotaro Uta? Oh, okay, so that's what I I thought maybe it was just someone making up their own song to a Momotaro animation, but that's actually a Momotaro song.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, nan to Kahito Kudasaina.
SPEAKER_00Well, the the with the version I hear, it doesn't have any lyrics. It's someone made an animation to it. Where Momotaro is kinda like he's like running to the beat. It's like that. And then like the uh the kitsune and the tori and the uh what's it and the inu?
SPEAKER_03Toriwa kijiwa a green pheasant.
SPEAKER_00A green pheasant, of course.
SPEAKER_03Why is it does it have to be green, not yellow?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. I don't know. So uh yeah, the the the dogs and they they do a little dance. They all do this little dance. Yeah, they do this whole this whole thing, and they they all have this little dance, and then uh momotaro like ignores them. They're like, What? He just keeps running by. He's just running. He's just running. And then the dog's like all offended, then the dog like runs ahead and then like does the dance again, and then by the second time he does the dance, then Momotaro like throws him a kibidango.
SPEAKER_03Oh, it doesn't go down so kibidango.
SPEAKER_00And then and then and then the Inu like follows him, and now the Inu is like doing the thing, and then they run into the the the Kiji. And so okay, so that's the animation. And it goes on for like many, many minutes, and then he fights the ogres, you know, the only at the end. So now, but now you go online and it's like everything it's mostly mostly women doing it, but they could be like high school girls, or they could be office workers, or they could be uh like fac not like I don't know, like not a factory, but like a like a distribution center kind of thing, or just influencer type people, and they're like doing they're doing they're doing the dance, and then one of them is like running in front of them and ignore and ignoring them. And then they're all like uh there's so many, there's infinite variations of the 10,000 views on this one, hundred thousand views on that one. So if we wanted to, we could I could I could put this on and I could be Momotaro in my thing, and then you have to learn how to do the dance.
SPEAKER_03Right. But if we want first of all, you have to go by kibidango.
SPEAKER_00Well, they don't have the kibidango. The meme, the meme is just you do the dance, and then I come from out of frame, I run by and you're like, Oh, he didn't stop for me or whatever. Right. But we could do variations where I throw kibidango at you. We could also do a variation where I could get the guy who plays guitar on my podcast that instead of using the actual audio, we could actually have him like playing it on the guitar.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Anyway, this would be work, but we could hop on this meme.
SPEAKER_03Ah, Hayakushinakya.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. So, but you know what I'm talking about over there, Japanese listeners. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You know it. It's oh it's everywhere in my feed. I can't scroll three reels without seeing another uh couple of kawaii uh Japanese ladies doing the dance and then someone running by again. My god. The whoever whoever made that animation must be so happy because there's like everyone everywhere is all doing this and using the song and using the animation, and yeah, so it's a big deal. So yeah, this is um 3.7 million views. It was uploaded four months ago. Let's give this guy a shout out now that he needs it. He just goes by uh it's all katakana, but it's uh kome anime, so like rice animation. So congratulations, kome anime, uh, on your viral hit success of the Momotaro Monogatari. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Akataro.
SPEAKER_00I've heard of them, but I don't know what their style is. The red child?
SPEAKER_03No, akataro, basanga kodomogainakte, kodomoga hospital.
SPEAKER_00That sounds like Momotaro.
SPEAKER_03So so the beambo now, uh, you tight of ro ni hai tarataksan, akara de te akade Akade ni nate akataro.
SPEAKER_00So like the redness of the skin of the bathtakers became a child. It's not even red. Is that what you said? Is that what you say?
SPEAKER_03It's not even red. It's the how do you call it um the dead skin?
SPEAKER_00Oh gosh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dead yeah, the dead skin.
SPEAKER_03Um the akatarol.
SPEAKER_00Like so, so they went in the bath and the dead skin that was washing off of them formed into a child. Wow.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they made like uh clay and then Okay.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So a lot of aka.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, I mean, maybe that's just what they would tell kids, like, oh mom and dad, where do babies come from? It's like, well, we get in the bath and then our skin sheds and forms into a clump. Yeah, that this all it's kind of interesting though that this um dovetails nicely with uh Japan's current uh, you know, it's it's not just Japan, but Japan has is notorious for having a birth rate crisis right now. So maybe you just need more more old grandparents need to take baths together or find like giant peaches and then we'll find more children, right?
SPEAKER_03A kintaro.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I don't know where Kintaro is. Kintaro is like metal? Oh, the gold the golden child, okay. So, so so so.
SPEAKER_03Kintaro a masakari, he's got the axe.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Masakarimot.
SPEAKER_00So when is the big um Avengers Endgame style crossover where Momotaro, Kintoro, and Akataro all get together and they fight, you know, some oni or something.
SPEAKER_03Oh, maybe. Which island is it?
SPEAKER_00Oh. I don't know, onigashima.
SPEAKER_03I saw onigashima.
SPEAKER_00Really? That's it?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, onigashima. Oh, yoko.

SPEAKER_03Is it?
SPEAKER_00Just I mean it's easily understood. I would be like uh I was right I I was late today because I was late today because Or you could say you could say I was late today because or if you want to say I was late getting here. Okay. I was late getting here because I was late. Yeah, you could say that. Um but saying I was late to get here just for whatever reason. We don't put the two after. Oh I don't think it's wrong. It just doesn't sound right. I was late to I was he was late to arrive. I guess it's okay. But I just I usually put it the other way. I was I was I was late getting here um or I I arrived late today. Definitely say I arrived late today.
SPEAKER_03Uh I'm always arriving late. And then that's what that's the fence.

SPEAKER_00Okay. I mean, I'm not a I'm not a BP, so I can't um I can't confirm or deny the rules of this uh of this alleged uh time scale. Well well here's what here's what I'll say about this on this sensitive subject of black people time slash colored people time, as you are alluding to. So as far as I know, you're not you're not black. Right? Oh, okinawa time. Well well, there's also the concept of like island time. But all of Japanese is a shimaguni anyway.
SPEAKER_03Shimaguni time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but yeah, I learned some more relaxed time. But here's here's my rule on when in these situations where I feel like I I I have no um, you know, I can't comment, right? But you are browner than me. Okay. Because you're Asian and I'm essentially white, right? So even though I feel discomfort talking with you about colored people time, you are more colored than me, so I d so you have more authority on the subject than I do. Okay. So I so I have to Okay, I have to let it slide.
SPEAKER_03You know, the I have to defer. I have to.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so as a white person, I have to let the Asian person talk about colored people with authority because I can't correct her. If I correct her, it's rude. I can't do it. So I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03So I didn't know about I've been living in America forever. And then I learned about BPT in Atlanta.
SPEAKER_04Sure.
SPEAKER_03Then Siaturo nitala Hokano Comedianga, uh, CPT. Eh, nani CPT nani, I know BPT, but I know I don't know CPT. And they're like, uh color people time. I'm like, uh what? My time?

SPEAKER_03I was offended. I'm like, what do you mean? I'm just I'm on time. But you weren't on time because you're late today.
