Update: Sync will be fixed for the next episode. Updates will be posted here: discord.com/invite/agbwB4p Apologies for the lag, it seems a stray moose may have gotten caught in the internet cabling, causing a slight delay in Hmslc video. My video & audio are also ever so slightly faster than Hmslc's - so if I seem giddy with excitement, well I am, but also that... I greatly appreciate Hmslc taking the time to talk about both the fun & not so fun. All said - without a doubt one of my favorite interview so far, I truly enjoyed learning from this one.

1:19:32... "I'll still get up at like 4AM and study up until NOON...." !? This dude is a freaking MACHINE... The fact that he still puts approximately 8 hours a day into conscious study of Japanese when he is at that level is close to insane. Definition of CHAD as the title suggests.
Great one! Listened to this while at work and man this guy has quite the story! And his immersion sense makes a lot of sense now, knowing that he went to school & worked in japanese too! Actually enjoying these interviews with DJT people a lot, seems like they are mostly all doing amazing lol
