The story of Johnny Somali isn’t over yet unfortunately. There’s still a chance he could walk free - we’ll keep you guys updated in the coming weeks. In the meantime don’t forget to subscribe with notifications on so you don’t miss what’s going on in Japan each week! 🍻
I seriously hope he doesn't, or at least faces consequences. Its just deplorable *ANYBODY* doing this anywhere, and that all he cares about is money and views
sadly, this is nothing new for foreigners doing borderline criminal acts abroad. there is a french canadian *docu-film* made by a humorist. Film's name is "Nos voisins Dhantsu". It's simply guys doing pranks and generally harrasing japansese people under the pretext of talking about japan. In case your french canadian is poor and google translate can't make sense of the word Dhantsu, it's a bad play on word trying to sound Japanese while saying "Nos voisins d'en dessous". litteraly, our down under neighbors.
The foreigner, who punched Johnny Somali, owns a bar in Osaka. And from my understanding of the situation, JS and his friend were harassing a young Japanese female streamer before that guy punched him. (JS was also being a nuisance to that guy and his friend, too). And I really hope that Japan makes an example of him. I saw that he could face 3 years minimum in prison for the first trespassing charge alone..m
what angered me the most about Johnny Somali is, he always played the race card whenever someone got back at him or retaliate. he would call them racists while he, himself was the one being racist by doing things as he wanted, harassing locals and not even give a damn with the consequences. I remembered very much when he went to Bali, the Indonesian tagged the Indonesian Immigration and he immediately put on their watch list, which was why he only spent 4 days in Bali before he went to Thailand (where he got punched and choked and slapped several times, which were very satisfying).
What happend is the female streamer was on twitch, if you are banned on twitch if someone else streams them they will also get banned. He is banned and so was trying to get her banned by being in her stream.
If Japan doesn’t do anything to “Johnny Somali” aka Ramsey and just let him go, then this is gonna be an invitation to even more people like him to be a nuisance in the country.
There's a reason why Jp has a 99% conviction rate. Police do not move at all until they can get a full conviction on you. Public nuisance whilst is a felony but wouldn't be a guaranteed conviction. Trespassing on a construction site, on camera WITH people actually working there? Oh you bet they've got everything they need on him!
Dunno about Japan, but Singapore and other South East Asia countries have policies to forbid some people to enter through airport immigration. Even if someone able to fly from their departure country, they're halted in immigration, not allowed to go out from airport. Burn their ticket money basically
What I can NEVER understand is the social media Johnny Somali uses never banned him. They allowed him to do what he do (Bully, Harass and disrespect), suspended him and gave him access again.
I took pains to be as polite as possible when I visited Tokyo in February 2020,even going so far as to not eat and drink while walking. So hearing about Johnny Somali getting away with being a dickhead, while I and so many other visitors were following the rules was infuriating. I hope he gets prison time, so he , and other foreign streamers get the message that you can't visit Japan and act like an asshole and not expect consequences. I and other visitors try our best to follow the rules, and it pisses me off Somali has made all foreign visitors look bad.
That is so true. My biggest fear when coming here was offending anyone! I think it's incredibly disrespectful when somebody takes it as far as he did. I'm glad there's been consequences.
They really aren't gonna care about your eating and drinking while walking. Japanese people aren't walking around judging foreigners about informal rules. I've been there a few times for work and they really couldn't be bothered by small things like that. Just avoid the big ones. Besides, a lot of the politeness goes out the window there after alcohol is involved anyway.
@@JessiFaySsome outdated law or "rule" that people just never bothered updating, lots of countries have weird things like that that are so old that people ignore or forget it. Japan has a ton of food designed to for you to be able to snack on while walking, usually marketed towards students. Festival goers or for someone shopping who wants a snack
@@ajohnson9630 I guess, but the main reason I was being extra careful, is because this was the first time I'd traveled internationally, and I was by myself. I wanted to make extra sure I didn't get myself in trouble for breaking a rule.
Japanese jails are notorious for having extremely harsh conditions I hope Johnny experiences the consequences for his actions. I don’t wish ill on people but Johnny was obnoxiously pushing the limit, hopefully this will sober him up to reality.
He's a psychopath, he is incapable of understanding his actions, he just wants attention. He will be straight back to doing this crap in another country once he's released.
@@mason6300 Foreigners who end up in Japanese prisons often go missing, either in prison or right after they are released. There have even been cases where they vanish from prison transport vehicles. Look it up. He will say the wrong thing to the wrong guard or prisoner in lockup, and wont even make it to prison.
Give him 6-12 months which may be reduced to 3-6 months served. In terms of sentencing, that's good enough for me given the *MAX* sentence possible for the worst trespass conceivable would be years. For me sentencing is about doing what's *RIGHT* according to the law, not "setting an example" or like in the US - "revenge". Add on top a hefty fine such that whatever he made for being utter garbage won't be there anymore - it's all lost due to making stupid choices - there are consequences. On top of that, expelled and permanent ban on all no flight / no passport lists - he'll need to try out his nonsense in the US and see how *THAT* plays out for him. Again, it's about consequences, not necessarily prison time being maxed.
I still occasionally go back and watch that video of Johnny somali getting absolutely DECKED, just to cheer myself up, and once again enjoy the noise the guy who smacks him makes when he does it 😂
Just a pity the clip ends with that ridiculous donation soundbyte on loop. But yeah, glorious punch(es, since the guy gave Somali's mate the same treatment), real clean and satisfying!
The thing that scares me the most about the Kick streamer is that people watch him and give him a platform and those who watch him are probably young children who are easily influenced.
Yes, but just remember that they had to have an audience in the first place for kids to find them. Kids don't just look for these people. And who's to blame for that? Bad adults that have that kind of humour. And there's enough of them that Johnny gets enough traction for kids to see him. When America's bad education system and bad practices in general bite them back.
Nah, it's not young kids, more likely young male adults, the edgy, vicious, sociopathic types who get a giggle out of the mayhem and trouble that he causes
*I met Johnny Somali in Japan on August 31.* He was wearing a Maid costume along with his two friends while recording and making a lot of noise in the Red district of Osaka. I think they were getting kicked out of a Karaoke bar (or denied entry idk). I didn't know who he was even when he said "I'm Johnny Somali and I'm famous on kick" but quickly realized staying there with him would probably get me arrested and got back on my way, specially because If you dare to take photos or video in that place, you get fined 100,000 yen (about 700 dollars), and the police confiscates everything you have. One week ago I saw him in the news and realized I was right: Spending any time talking to him was asking for REAL trouble.
As an American, I am ashamed of his behavior. I really hope his case remains focused on his character rather than those from the US and foreigners in general. I loved the time I spent in Japan and I have every intention of returning. It would be a shame if his behavior influenced how people would interact with me.
I detected from his accent, he's not as American as I am, so I wholly reject him and don't feel any responsibility. We should deport him to like North Korea.
Chris -- I don't know about three months to get a six-pack, but here are some basics. 1) You can't spot-reduce. It's not possible to just lose fat off your stomach only, for instance. Fat loss tends to be an all-over thing. Getting a six-pack involves building your abs for sure, but also depends on taking your body fat percentage to a much lower amount. 2) Weight lifting is great for fat loss, and you'll build some muscle on the way, plus build stamina and balance. 3) Work with a trainer -- one who knows what he's doing and isn't on his phone swiping left and right while you pay them to do that. 4) Reduce or quit alcohol. 5) Protein and veg will be your friends; forget eating for pleasure and take up eating to build muscle. 6) Take up cardio, it'll be good for you in the long run. I've been working out for a year with a trainer, and while you don't know me, if I can do it, anyone can. Good luck! 😀
it's all about diet. screw cardio. lol. I spent a few years in the Army, so it ruined me for cardio. "wake up at 3am to go do a 5 mile run - aka FUN RUN". morning coffee, a decent breakfast with no carbs and go outside and split some wood in the morning. No gains, but i can maintain a very healthy body weight.
As someone in the early stages of kidney disease be very careful about adding protein to your diet before having your doctor test for levels first. You can wreck your kidneys with even a typical American diet nevermind the protein packed shakes and foods. It's a really big problem and can cause irreversible kidney damage :(
@@AmandaComeauCreateshigh protein diets are only an issue if you have an underlying kidney issue. All of the controlled studies investigating this don't find that protein by itself causes kidney disease risk
you do realize that farmers in America for YEARS eat like a dozen eggs a day? The thing with protein is that your body has to use it or it will plug the body up. The only people i know who have kidney problems from too much protein are people that go to the gym 10 days a week and are constantly juicing.@@AmandaComeauCreates
I would add core to that. The trainers I've worked with emphasize all the above, plus core and HIIT cardio. I have a bad back that flares up about once a year, and core training seems to help with that.
5:33 Nikko is awesome! I went hiking there during my first trip to Japan back in 2008 and I loved it! I returned in the spring of 2019 and got to see the Tōshō-gū (Japan's version of rococo). Very impressive even if the style isn't my cup of tea!
i'm a china expat of 20 years (American actually), your podcast reminds me of the podcasts of expats in china around 2007-2010. Very laid back, cool, and at this point nostalgic. Japan is certainly one of the places i intend on visiting for sure.
there's 1.4 billion chinese people, and more women than men. It takes a bit to completely spread my seed LOL. Seriously though, i really should have been to japan at least once. I've been to Taiwan, and South Korea. Most of the time i've only been traveling on "working holidays"@@peters7229
Since bringing the podcast onto UA-cam, I've always found it weird that Chris and Pete are facing the same way instead of "towards each other" when they are not together in the same room. It makes my brain go all fuzzy.
JGov really needs to make an example of this guy. Anytime someone comes to Japan and acts like a fool, it gets a ton of attention and other clout-chasers see it as a way for them to get noticed. This guy deserves as much punishment as they can give him, and they need to do it to prevent others from acting like he does.
As a British Somali with ties to Japan and working at TV Asahi this guy is so disapointing. When i was living in Japan not too many people here familiar with Somalia and now this is going to be the reference point - so disappointing :(
12:30 Yes, It's cocky. 6 months is more realistic but also be aware that it might be physically impossible. Some people can only attain a 4 pack or even a 5 pack depending on the muscles that you have. Everyone is different and everyone gains and loses weight differently. Some people gain weight around the middle first and would have to go to extremes (like sub 1% body fat) to attain it. I would set the goal of trying to "gain definition" in the abs by focusing on exercise that strengthens the core. If you are one of the lucky few you might not need to do anything else.
I'm not a podcast sort of person because some of the ones I've tried are way too long and filled with pointless talking (H3). I'm glad you put your podcast on UA-cam so I have something to watch/listen to as I clean or cook. Love your conversations, you two remind me of radio dj's I like listening to (I live in Seattle area), chatting about life and current events.
Ismael Ramsey Khalid [aka "Johnny Somali"] -- don't forget there have been over 30 different police call incidents in Japan... as well, since the King Moron films and streams everything, that's a ton of evidence -- including when the police finally let him go (or he runs away), he blatantly claims he owns them and everyone in Japan, and as an American he's allowed to do whatever he wants, and they can't stop him... Even during one recent police stop (just before the knockout punch incident) he was being questioned by police (again, recorded and streaming for evidence) where he said if they dared touch him or tried to stop him, that he would physically hurt them [the police]... So while they may have finally charged him with trespassing; that doesn't mean they haven't collected video records of all the other crimes, threats, and peace disturbances he has done -- so it wouldn't surprise me if they packed on other charges... The police in Japan don't like to prosecute unless they're pretty sure about getting a conviction -- and King Moron has provided them with months and months of all his crimes, racism, cowardice, threats, and intentional disrespect... So there's a good chance that simply being Deported and nothing else is the best he can hope for... Given all his past actions, the Japanese prison may be his home for a long time...
Would love to see him livestream back in America and pull off the same "humor". He would definitely get a better reaction here and the attention he wants...but he won't because he has shown to be a complete coward.
Arrested but not convicted, even with the supposed 99.98% conviction rate. US embassy probably gonna bail him out for some stupid "humanitarian" reason. There is no justice in this world
Tbh on the shop opening times: in japan we’ve seen lot more sensible openings than in the UK, hobby related shops are from 10am till 8pm so people who work office hours can also visit and buy. But in the uk for example since last year most shops close 5 or maybe 6pm the latest and i can’t go shopping, so i have to go on weekends or take a day off. Then the owner complains to me that people don’t shop there but online, guess whose fault it is.
Quick tip for anyone going next summer, look up restaurants that will be open in the morning for breakfast, lots of them don’t open until 9-10 A.M., stay inside the hotel/AirBnB or places with AC between 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. and then plan your day around the afternoon, sundown and late night.
6:52 Ooo, I think that's the play with the oiran in it, not geisha. There are also oiran and apprentices actresses and actors dressed up for the Oiran Dochu (a reenactment of an oiran parade to show off the oiran to "potential clients" on the streets, walking in an 8-figure pattern with their tall geta). It was typically done during the night, but for practical reasons, Nikko Edomura does it during the day.
2:27 no IC card is not that big of a deal. We drove 6 hours across japan recently. The only issue is there are a few tollway entrances that ONLY accept IC cards but these are mostly in smaller towns and you can always drive to the next entrance, although this may take time.
Hi Chris, it's really important to understand that Kick is purely an advertising vehicle for it's parent online gambling website. That's it's only purpose. They want as much traffic as possible on kick regardless of how they achieve it, as a percentage will end up gambling (just check the number of their top streams sponsored by gambling), making them a huge amount of money.
In case you are wondering, he apparently made fun of the Yamaguchigumi, a Japanese mafia organization. If he were to go to jail, it would be a very bad situation because some people from the organization would be there.
It’s unfortunate but true. Many Japanese don’t travel beyond their borders, so when us gaijin visit japan we become ambassadors and representatives of our countries / hemisphere. We may likely be their only bases for viewing foreigners. The times I’ve been unfairly judged in Japan could partly be explained by people who look like me behaving like arseholes and causing the Japanese to look less favourably upon me as a result. I can understand it if not condone it.
Japanese Time Zone: Japan is actually in the correct timezone and is currently set according to its line of longitude, as it should be (UTC/GMT+9). The reason the sun sets sooner is because the majority of Japan lies at a lower latitude and therefore further away from the North Pole. The UK is considerably further North than Japan (even further north than Hokkaido) and therefore the sun sets considerably later, even in the south of the UK, compared to Japan. This is also why the UK has darker and more miserable winters.
That doesn't really make sense though. I'm at a similar latitude to Okinawa at the moment but the sun sets at 7pm whereas Okinawa is about 6pm. In summer and winter Japan's sunrise is early and sunset early.
42:25 wait, do i understand it correctly? The land infamous for overworking and stuff... when it comes to shops (and service?) they are generally only open from 10AM till 5PM? that's wild, and i thought our shops weren't open long enough :s
Some shops are open 24hrs, mostly convience stores like 7 eleven and family mart. Regular restaurants will close and other necessities around 8pm. Of course, depends on the area so you don't need to worry about it
29:00 As foreigner you can call your embassy and they will get you a lawyer. 33:08 John Daub said that if someone is deported, he will not be able to return in 7 years, I think he said.
The last guy I knew that acted like that in Japan was a white service member in the Navy, he loved to talk about dropping the bombs and making fun of the Japanese suffering. None of us wanted to be around that guy. We all left the ship on Friday night and by Monday morning we heard that they found him. There were tons of complains from local Japanese people and I guess someone decided to do something about it. They took a lead pipe to his skull, he did not die, but I know he wished he was. Cracked orbital bones, sunken eye, smashed cheeks, skull, teeth... you get the point. No one felt bad for him, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
Kyokushin is one of the most popular karate styles. They teach it to children. It's full contact, but it's not *that* hardcore (some specific dojo's might be more hardcore of course)
@@edwardfletcher7790 It's "up to" 23 days, not a minimum. The police can choose to cut him loose at anytime. Though, I have a feeling they'll max this one out.
As a Kyokushin practitioner for most of my adult life, I still have yet to get a six pack. Chris, I hope you get to that goal as I also would like to have a six pack before I visit Sendai in May. I hope you get to do some Kickboxing/MMA in the future.
The lighting on Chris makes the background look like greenscreen, only the red light behind his hair makes it look real. It is a mismatch of lighting styles I think but not sure.
One of the biggest laughs I've had in a while was Johnny S. getting knocked out. The man is literally unconscious and his stream is lit up by people laughing at him. He's arrested and done as a streamer. The world is a better place.
I'm almost certain he will be banned here for TOS violations. Those charges kinda are going to be an issue for him. Wonder what's next... Maybe Rumble?
Yeah, he's probably going to be 'encouraged' by this, unfortunately. Sort of like that utter dipshit who said he's going to continue making his 'content' despite getting shot (near point blank range) and hospitalised while filming a so-called prank. Everyone cheered when the shooter was found not guilty (at least of the main charges, the minor ones are being appealed, IIRC).
I've been to Nikko just a few weeks ago and it's really nice, the temples in Nikko while gorgeous are way too touristy and crowded, I much more enjoyed lake Chunzenji area. If you go to Nikko go to Roppongazawa observation deck, the view from there was one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen, the roads north from there were also really nice, there are some beautiful farm/ranches on the way and they have spectacular views, I really envy the farmers living there
I can’t stand cardio either Pete, especially running 🫠 About 3 years however, I got into Jiu Jitsu, fell in love with it, and the training and rolling is an amazing cardio workout. I lost 30kg just training and having fun. Anyways, consider trying out some BJJ, you’ll get great cardio in and learn ground karate. It’s addictive. Love you guys, all the best! Greetings from BCS, Mexico 🇲🇽
11:51 The guy with the fake abs is Darren Lyons and aside from being a notorious pap, he was literally the mayor of a lovely albeit a tad rough smaller Australian city called Geelong. Go Australia!
To be fair, getting a 6-pack is surprisingly a lot simpler than people led on. For the untrained person, 6 months is ample time if they only just learned how to work out. A once overweight gym buddy of mine started lifting at the beginning of this year and has shown progress to some weight loss and muscle buildup, then did a challenge to specifically work on abs and chest for a six pack. Did it in 45 days. It just takes dedication and perseverance, and 3 months is a well enough amount of time to get a beautiful set of abs
Question for those who are more knowledgeable than I: How has Johnny Somali managed to stay in Japan that long? He doesn't appear to have a regular job, so no work visa. Tourist visas are only good for 90 days. What type of visa does he have that has allowed him to be present in the country for 6 months?
The cops can detain you here for a long time, 2 weeks for no visa, they deport you, the forms were in Japanese of course, but when I went to jail place to visit some nice office workers, who didn’t like the system, were so nice to me helped me with all the forms and I GOT IN THE JAIL TO VISIT, and got to talk to my 2 girlfriends, and left a small cake they said they got it. There was a cop sitting there listening to every word but I talked real Fast, and said I could do something if we’ll because I knew someone they said they were ok. So the did get kicked out and yes 2 weeks.
5:28 I had to do a double take because Chris pronounced Melbourne correctly 😮 Maybe a disgruntled Australian taught him how to say it since last time 😅
Out of curiosity, I think that's how I (native English) and most similar friends would say it, what stood out about it can I ask? Saying 'Mel-bunn'? Or am I saying it wrong too XD Thanks!
@@lottefrp3683 Most Americans not in the know would read "Melbourne" and say "Mell-burn", but the Australian way of saying it is "Mel-bin". It's a bit of a shibboleth, like Canada's Toronto being pronounced "Tuh-ron-oh" or New York City's famous Houston Street being pronounced "House-tun".
Do you guys stop at car stops to eat, or use the onsen ( the ones that have it). I took a tour to Lake Biwa and Kyoto when I was a student at a Japanese Language school in Okazaki City. We stopped in a couple of the auto stops and they were awesome.
I just wish they would deal with people like that streamer the same in the US, people get away with too much. We have too many dumb people who aren't raised to respect people, places or things.
there was a youtube prankster that got shot by a delivery guy. Delivery guy got sentenced, but you know. There's an example of an asshole content creator getting dealt with. It wasn't worth it for the delivery guy, but the delivery guy did the world a service 😅
💋 Hey Chris I was looking at the Guardian today and saw some very interesting photos of Jazz bars in Japan, the majority being in Tokyo. It might make an interesting subject for a video. Maybe you could include Natsuke. Thanks for another interesting podcast. What is up with Pete?
Really disappointing that one individual can make such a bad name for the rest of us as creators. We want to film a ton out in Japan and will be as respectful as possible. It's just common courtesy.
Oh Chris, haha, I laughed about your comment of the Huntsman spiders in Australia, I am Australian, I turned 65 in September and wouldn’t have seen a handful of Huntsman spiders in my whole life. It makes me laugh how some people have these ideas about Australia 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You often say not to travel to Japan in the summer because of the sweltering heat. Is it still unbearably hot if you go as far north as Hokkaido if you wanted to go in July/August? My partner's birthday is the end of July and they love Sapporo. I wanted to plan our vacation around the birthday but always passed on the destination due to your stories.
If it helps, I did the stupid thing and went to central and south Japan incl. Okinawa this late Aug- Sept. It's f*king hot, jeez louise more than any country I've been to that you classically think of as 'hot', BUT I still had an amazing time. And sweated. A lot. If you're going North that's much more sensible than what I did, and if I (and my Dad, in 60s) can survive that, the North would likely be at least a little better. Having said that, if you can push it any later at all- do so. Even a week makes a lot of difference as we had friends travelling just ahead of us, and the heat was insane. Good luck with your future trip :D
I lived in Japan for 7 years. If you fly into Tokyo during July/August, prepare yourself for high temperatures plus humidity - minimum 80%, sometimes 90%. And as someone from Southern California, I can confirm wet heat is more uncomfortable (and dangerous, since sweating isn’t as effective) than dry heat. However! I’ve also been to Hokkaido in August (2019), and yes, it’s much less hot and humid in Sapporo. This may have changed since 2019 because of climate change and all, but yeah, if you want to avoid the sweltering heat, maybe try flying directly to Sapporo.
For the person on chemo, be careful of travelling during winter/'flu season as your vaccination(s) may not be effective post-chemo and your white cell counts might not be back to what they were to fight off stuff you might encounter. I hope the rest of your treatment goes well.
People like Johnny Somali just piss me off. One of the reasons we see places and businesses post things like "no tourists" or "Japanese only" are because of people like him. I'm a foreigner but my background is Japanese so thankfully such restrictions wouldn't really affect me, but it saddens me to know that others have to put up with this BS because of individuals like him who ruin it for the rest of us.
@@dennissheckleburg9775 I don't ever recall saying it was never a thing or that it was rampant, but it is still a thing and happening because of people like Johnny
Johnny Somali is also risking more charges because the police is watching all the streams that he made and see if he made more offences, but for now, he's risking 3 to 5 years in prison... And the worst of it is that the yakuza wants his head and probably waiting for him in prison! He's must be getting crazy because right now he can't drink alcohol, no cellphone with him, no television, no internet, only a phone call per day, and strict timetable to respect in prison, and probably hiding from the yakuza!!!
The first 14 seconds truly made me feel like Chris has dived fully being a youtuber. A bit a tease talking about internet drama. Always love your podcasts btw. 😂🎉
There are several people like this guy out there. One in the U.K. I know of who has since stopped and apologized for harassing people. One here in America got shot because he got all up in some guys face. He survived and they went to trial.
Something positive could come out of the episode of JS Visitors to Japan will see this and be more mindful of their behaviour and in turn will enjoy the stay even more
I highly doubt it, people like Logan Paul and this guy simply don't care. these aren't the type of people who care about what other people think. These are the type of people who think the word revolves around them, that they are better then everyone else, and they get joy out of disrespecting and bothering other peoples lives. Actually trying to tell them not to do something likely only pushes these types of people to do it more, they are the type of people who don't like to be told what to do and being told they can't do something will only push them to do it more to prove a point.
I want to clarify here that the arrest rate is not 99%. Arrest is a process, and the prosecution chooses to prosecute or not prosecute, and the court decides guilt or innocence. If you are charged, you are guilty 97% of the time, but that's because there is evidence. If there is no clear evidence, the case is dropped and the accused is released. In some cases, if the crime is minor and the person is remorseful, the case is dropped. The conviction rate in Japan is well known, but it is misinterpreted and spread by foreigners. I would like you to get your perception right. By the way, if you don't have money to hire a lawyer, the government gives you the choice of a free lawyer or to defend yourself. By the way, before Somali, in the case of a streamer named Joey who broke into a ryokan and a private home in Fukushima, Japan. He was detained for nearly 30 days on two charges and released without prosecution. After nearly 20 days in custody, the first charge was dropped and he was acquitted, and then he was re-arrested and detained on the second charge, which was nearly 30 days. Even if arrested, the results can vary. There are requirements for deportation, including crimes lasting more than a year, illegal residence, and violent crimes. In Somali's case, he was only trespassing for a short time and with no danger and only for conspicuous purposes, so even if he is convicted, it is highly likely that he will not meet the requirements, which are likely to be six months or so. If it were possible, I would not want him to come to Japan again, but I have no choice but to obey the law.
If you are arrested in Japan, it mean they have something on you. Quite often they will hope to elicit a confession out of you. Then they will have something.
I was told recently that, "You don't get a six pack in the gym. You get a six pack in the kitchen." Getting your body fat low enough is done by cutting calories and when you see super ripped guys in pics or movies, they're usually super dehydrated.
I’ve lost over 50lbs in 3 months several times throughout my life chris. You can absolutely get that 6 pack in 3 months if you really want it and make some lifestyle changes. Especially if you enlist the help of a professional fighter, he will definitely be able to get you there!
3 month to get abs is super hard for a lot of people. It's not the training that will get you, it's the eating. If you want to do it in around 3 months, there are no cheat days. You're eating boring, less than you're used, and it's not constant either; you have to adjust if you're losing weight too fast or too slow. It's hard.
The story of Johnny Somali isn’t over yet unfortunately. There’s still a chance he could walk free - we’ll keep you guys updated in the coming weeks. In the meantime don’t forget to subscribe with notifications on so you don’t miss what’s going on in Japan each week! 🍻

if he does i just hope that he will be deported and ban from japan. and Japan should make a new rule about the streamer
Hard to express how much of an absolute thundercunt that lad is.
Oh god, he's American? I dare him to come to Oakland, lol, he won't be a problem for long.
The foreigner, who punched Johnny Somali, owns a bar in Osaka. And from my understanding of the situation, JS and his friend were harassing a young Japanese female streamer before that guy punched him. (JS was also being a nuisance to that guy and his friend, too).
And I really hope that Japan makes an example of him. I saw that he could face 3 years minimum in prison for the first trespassing charge alone..m
what angered me the most about Johnny Somali is, he always played the race card whenever someone got back at him or retaliate. he would call them racists while he, himself was the one being racist by doing things as he wanted, harassing locals and not even give a damn with the consequences. I remembered very much when he went to Bali, the Indonesian tagged the Indonesian Immigration and he immediately put on their watch list, which was why he only spent 4 days in Bali before he went to Thailand (where he got punched and choked and slapped several times, which were very satisfying).
What happend is the female streamer was on twitch, if you are banned on twitch if someone else streams them they will also get banned. He is banned and so was trying to get her banned by being in her stream.
I wish he tries his dumb crap in Balcans...any state. Hahaha!
@@coffeesweet1Sounds like par for the course for those who rely on the race card.
Happen to know the bar he owns? I would definitely like to stop by and get some drinks.
If Japan doesn’t do anything to “Johnny Somali” aka Ramsey and just let him go, then this is gonna be an invitation to even more people like him to be a nuisance in the country.
Hopefully he's never allowed back. What an absolute waste of air. Really smart going to a foreign country and reinforcing stereotypes. 😶 idiot
There's a reason why Jp has a 99% conviction rate. Police do not move at all until they can get a full conviction on you. Public nuisance whilst is a felony but wouldn't be a guaranteed conviction. Trespassing on a construction site, on camera WITH people actually working there? Oh you bet they've got everything they need on him!
@@RocKM001pubic😮
Dunno about Japan, but Singapore and other South East Asia countries have policies to forbid some people to enter through airport immigration. Even if someone able to fly from their departure country, they're halted in immigration, not allowed to go out from airport. Burn their ticket money basically
you are correct, I hope the Japanese really screw with this loser.
One option the police have is to detain him for an additional 23 days until he overstays his visa and then initiate prosecution and deportation.
a lot of accidents can happen in 23 days.
Don't need any prosecution or conviction, just deport for visa overstay. 😂
"Here, take your trash"- Japanesse judge to US ambassador to Japan.
Yeah, if you over stay your visa you will usually end up not being about to come back to Japan for like 5 years.
Can't be done, being detained won't count towards visa overstay unfortunately.
Finally they took action against that guy, he was really pushing the limit and about time he got some consequences for it
I read he is facing about 3 years in prison and a hefty fine.
@@MinkxiTes Good on him. Although that's probably what he wanted - free board and lodging.
Japan should make an example of him, give him the full 3 years, then deport and ban him from the country. This would be justice.
Agreed, and his buddy too. They both got rocked by that hero of a tourist.
@@just88 Prison being a good way to get room and board is a funny meme, but someone like this definitely wasn't aiming for it.
I'm sure people can't wait for British Pete and American Pete meet and filmed so we can all experience it together.

The Peterverse
Holy shit they’ve never met after all this time???
What I can NEVER understand is the social media Johnny Somali uses never banned him. They allowed him to do what he do (Bully, Harass and disrespect), suspended him and gave him access again.
Why? I came to know about Kick cause of him. Startup companies always do this kind of shady practices to promote themselves.
I took pains to be as polite as possible when I visited Tokyo in February 2020,even going so far as to not eat and drink while walking. So hearing about Johnny Somali getting away with being a dickhead, while I and so many other visitors were following the rules was infuriating. I hope he gets prison time, so he , and other foreign streamers get the message that you can't visit Japan and act like an asshole and not expect consequences. I and other visitors try our best to follow the rules, and it pisses me off Somali has made all foreign visitors look bad.
That is so true. My biggest fear when coming here was offending anyone! I think it's incredibly disrespectful when somebody takes it as far as he did. I'm glad there's been consequences.
I'm never visiting Japan - so please don't get upset that I don't know this - what's wrong with eating / drinking while walking?
They really aren't gonna care about your eating and drinking while walking. Japanese people aren't walking around judging foreigners about informal rules. I've been there a few times for work and they really couldn't be bothered by small things like that. Just avoid the big ones. Besides, a lot of the politeness goes out the window there after alcohol is involved anyway.
@@JessiFaySsome outdated law or "rule" that people just never bothered updating, lots of countries have weird things like that that are so old that people ignore or forget it. Japan has a ton of food designed to for you to be able to snack on while walking, usually marketed towards students. Festival goers or for someone shopping who wants a snack
@@ajohnson9630 I guess, but the main reason I was being extra careful, is because this was the first time I'd traveled internationally, and I was by myself. I wanted to make extra sure I didn't get myself in trouble for breaking a rule.
It was so satisfying seeing the foreigner deal to that Johnny dude, even more satisfying knowing the tool has been arrested.
Don't worry is American born Japanese are going to have a little something for him once he gets back home.
I love how NO ONE is upset at him getting laid out.
I don't condone violence, but even I have to admit that was indeed cathartic
Some people just beg to be punched in the face, so who are we to deny them that.
People know who deserves it and who doesn't
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes😂
I’m upset that he still got up after the punch.
Japanese jails are notorious for having extremely harsh conditions I hope Johnny experiences the consequences for his actions. I don’t wish ill on people but Johnny was obnoxiously pushing the limit, hopefully this will sober him up to reality.
He's a psychopath, he is incapable of understanding his actions, he just wants attention. He will be straight back to doing this crap in another country once he's released.
@@mason6300 Foreigners who end up in Japanese prisons often go missing, either in prison or right after they are released. There have even been cases where they vanish from prison transport vehicles. Look it up. He will say the wrong thing to the wrong guard or prisoner in lockup, and wont even make it to prison.
Give him 6-12 months which may be reduced to 3-6 months served. In terms of sentencing, that's good enough for me given the *MAX* sentence possible for the worst trespass conceivable would be years. For me sentencing is about doing what's *RIGHT* according to the law, not "setting an example" or like in the US - "revenge". Add on top a hefty fine such that whatever he made for being utter garbage won't be there anymore - it's all lost due to making stupid choices - there are consequences. On top of that, expelled and permanent ban on all no flight / no passport lists - he'll need to try out his nonsense in the US and see how *THAT* plays out for him. Again, it's about consequences, not necessarily prison time being maxed.
US prisons are a cushy vacation to most foreign prisons.
@@simbrianthell no.
Chris, you're getting closer and closer to that hourly format I've been wishing for.
I still occasionally go back and watch that video of Johnny somali getting absolutely DECKED, just to cheer myself up, and once again enjoy the noise the guy who smacks him makes when he does it 😂
The Mario coin sound effect timing makes it even better. He's like a fragile brick that's made to be punched.
Just a pity the clip ends with that ridiculous donation soundbyte on loop.
But yeah, glorious punch(es, since the guy gave Somali's mate the same treatment), real clean and satisfying!
Ahhhhhhhh! *While charging his fist*
@@dachosenone207 real life captain falcon. On a side note, Johnny Somali looks like a clearance sale version of Tupac

Right😂
Hate this guy with a passion. I'm glad we get your input on this.
Was that also the guy who desecrated a Shinto shrine saying that allah is the only god?
@@harrybale313 No, that was some Muslim who did that, but that same collective also decapitated a number of Jizo statues.
The thing that scares me the most about the Kick streamer is that people watch him and give him a platform and those who watch him are probably young children who are easily influenced.
Yes, but just remember that they had to have an audience in the first place for kids to find them. Kids don't just look for these people. And who's to blame for that? Bad adults that have that kind of humour. And there's enough of them that Johnny gets enough traction for kids to see him. When America's bad education system and bad practices in general bite them back.
Ice Poseidon used to do the same shit on stream until Twitch finally tightened up the regulations. Now he also joined the Kick Gambling Train.
Nah, it's not young kids, more likely young male adults, the edgy, vicious, sociopathic types who get a giggle out of the mayhem and trouble that he causes
@@ohwnosrepeht 'Manchildren'. The word is 'manchildren'.
*I met Johnny Somali in Japan on August 31.*
He was wearing a Maid costume along with his two friends while recording and making a lot of noise in the Red district of Osaka. I think they were getting kicked out of a Karaoke bar (or denied entry idk). I didn't know who he was even when he said "I'm Johnny Somali and I'm famous on kick" but quickly realized staying there with him would probably get me arrested and got back on my way, specially because If you dare to take photos or video in that place, you get fined 100,000 yen (about 700 dollars), and the police confiscates everything you have.
One week ago I saw him in the news and realized I was right: Spending any time talking to him was asking for REAL trouble.
Glad you refrained from interacting with him any further. What ‘a headless chicken’ (an insult my younger cousin came up with).
As an American, I am ashamed of his behavior. I really hope his case remains focused on his character rather than those from the US and foreigners in general. I loved the time I spent in Japan and I have every intention of returning. It would be a shame if his behavior influenced how people would interact with me.
I detected from his accent, he's not as American as I am, so I wholly reject him and don't feel any responsibility. We should deport him to like North Korea.
you ,as a White Guy, are ashamed for a Black Guy from Somalia because your treacherous Government gave a Passport of your Country to him ?
very weird
i mean he is american so he have the right to harass another person in another part of the world.
@@whitygooseI hope they do change that to no foreigners getting away with harassment. I don’t care how free America is.
Fantastic to hear Japanese police finally arrested that fool
Chris -- I don't know about three months to get a six-pack, but here are some basics. 1) You can't spot-reduce. It's not possible to just lose fat off your stomach only, for instance. Fat loss tends to be an all-over thing. Getting a six-pack involves building your abs for sure, but also depends on taking your body fat percentage to a much lower amount. 2) Weight lifting is great for fat loss, and you'll build some muscle on the way, plus build stamina and balance. 3) Work with a trainer -- one who knows what he's doing and isn't on his phone swiping left and right while you pay them to do that. 4) Reduce or quit alcohol. 5) Protein and veg will be your friends; forget eating for pleasure and take up eating to build muscle. 6) Take up cardio, it'll be good for you in the long run. I've been working out for a year with a trainer, and while you don't know me, if I can do it, anyone can. Good luck! 😀
it's all about diet. screw cardio. lol. I spent a few years in the Army, so it ruined me for cardio. "wake up at 3am to go do a 5 mile run - aka FUN RUN". morning coffee, a decent breakfast with no carbs and go outside and split some wood in the morning. No gains, but i can maintain a very healthy body weight.
As someone in the early stages of kidney disease be very careful about adding protein to your diet before having your doctor test for levels first. You can wreck your kidneys with even a typical American diet nevermind the protein packed shakes and foods. It's a really big problem and can cause irreversible kidney damage :(
@@AmandaComeauCreateshigh protein diets are only an issue if you have an underlying kidney issue. All of the controlled studies investigating this don't find that protein by itself causes kidney disease risk
you do realize that farmers in America for YEARS eat like a dozen eggs a day? The thing with protein is that your body has to use it or it will plug the body up.
The only people i know who have kidney problems from too much protein are people that go to the gym 10 days a week and are constantly juicing.@@AmandaComeauCreates
I would add core to that. The trainers I've worked with emphasize all the above, plus core and HIIT cardio. I have a bad back that flares up about once a year, and core training seems to help with that.
5:33 Nikko is awesome! I went hiking there during my first trip to Japan back in 2008 and I loved it! I returned in the spring of 2019 and got to see the Tōshō-gū (Japan's version of rococo). Very impressive even if the style isn't my cup of tea!
i'm a china expat of 20 years (American actually), your podcast reminds me of the podcasts of expats in china around 2007-2010. Very laid back, cool, and at this point nostalgic. Japan is certainly one of the places i intend on visiting for sure.
20 years in China, and you've yet to visit Japan, a mere 3-hr flight away??
there's 1.4 billion chinese people, and more women than men. It takes a bit to completely spread my seed LOL.
Seriously though, i really should have been to japan at least once. I've been to Taiwan, and South Korea. Most of the time i've only been traveling on "working holidays"@@peters7229
Are you a sleeper agent?
Chris, Thanks for covering the Somali matter in an informative, responsible, level and clear way. And do keep us informed.
Since bringing the podcast onto UA-cam, I've always found it weird that Chris and Pete are facing the same way instead of "towards each other" when they are not together in the same room. It makes my brain go all fuzzy.
I hope he does 3 years in jail and after get deported with a permanent ban from ever having the right to set foot again in the country.
It would be nice if he lost his passport after this, not sure if that's a possibility though.
Very good idea. Waste money for 3 years on this cretin to then deport and ban him.
JGov really needs to make an example of this guy. Anytime someone comes to Japan and acts like a fool, it gets a ton of attention and other clout-chasers see it as a way for them to get noticed. This guy deserves as much punishment as they can give him, and they need to do it to prevent others from acting like he does.
Just got you book delivered to me, super excited to read through it and relive some of my days from Japan. Edo mura is great I went there before.
As a British Somali with ties to Japan and working at TV Asahi this guy is so disapointing. When i was living in Japan not too many people here familiar with Somalia and now this is going to be the reference point - so disappointing :(
Honestly watching Johnny Somali get the crap kicked out of him was more satisfying than my last relationship.
Love the Sonic The Hedgehog haircut Chris...killing it.
12:30 Yes, It's cocky. 6 months is more realistic but also be aware that it might be physically impossible. Some people can only attain a 4 pack or even a 5 pack depending on the muscles that you have. Everyone is different and everyone gains and loses weight differently. Some people gain weight around the middle first and would have to go to extremes (like sub 1% body fat) to attain it.
I would set the goal of trying to "gain definition" in the abs by focusing on exercise that strengthens the core. If you are one of the lucky few you might not need to do anything else.
😂 every time I walk into my doctor here in japan , my doctor simply greets me with a oh your still pregnant 😂
in china after my yearly medical exam for my work visa the doctors there would me "you have a small fat liver - but you're very healthy"
I'm not a podcast sort of person because some of the ones I've tried are way too long and filled with pointless talking (H3). I'm glad you put your podcast on UA-cam so I have something to watch/listen to as I clean or cook. Love your conversations, you two remind me of radio dj's I like listening to (I live in Seattle area), chatting about life and current events.
Ismael Ramsey Khalid [aka "Johnny Somali"] -- don't forget there have been over 30 different police call incidents in Japan... as well, since the King Moron films and streams everything, that's a ton of evidence -- including when the police finally let him go (or he runs away), he blatantly claims he owns them and everyone in Japan, and as an American he's allowed to do whatever he wants, and they can't stop him... Even during one recent police stop (just before the knockout punch incident) he was being questioned by police (again, recorded and streaming for evidence) where he said if they dared touch him or tried to stop him, that he would physically hurt them [the police]...
So while they may have finally charged him with trespassing; that doesn't mean they haven't collected video records of all the other crimes, threats, and peace disturbances he has done -- so it wouldn't surprise me if they packed on other charges... The police in Japan don't like to prosecute unless they're pretty sure about getting a conviction -- and King Moron has provided them with months and months of all his crimes, racism, cowardice, threats, and intentional disrespect... So there's a good chance that simply being Deported and nothing else is the best he can hope for... Given all his past actions, the Japanese prison may be his home for a long time...
We can only hope the little scumbag gets the full sentence 👍
Would love to see him livestream back in America and pull off the same "humor". He would definitely get a better reaction here and the attention he wants...but he won't because he has shown to be a complete coward.
You're delusional. He's only going to get deported, get over it.
Give someone enough rope...
Arrested but not convicted, even with the supposed 99.98% conviction rate. US embassy probably gonna bail him out for some stupid "humanitarian" reason. There is no justice in this world
Tbh on the shop opening times: in japan we’ve seen lot more sensible openings than in the UK, hobby related shops are from 10am till 8pm so people who work office hours can also visit and buy. But in the uk for example since last year most shops close 5 or maybe 6pm the latest and i can’t go shopping, so i have to go on weekends or take a day off. Then the owner complains to me that people don’t shop there but online, guess whose fault it is.
Quick tip for anyone going next summer, look up restaurants that will be open in the morning for breakfast, lots of them don’t open until 9-10 A.M., stay inside the hotel/AirBnB or places with AC between 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. and then plan your day around the afternoon, sundown and late night.
6:52 Ooo, I think that's the play with the oiran in it, not geisha. There are also oiran and apprentices actresses and actors dressed up for the Oiran Dochu (a reenactment of an oiran parade to show off the oiran to "potential clients" on the streets, walking in an 8-figure pattern with their tall geta). It was typically done during the night, but for practical reasons, Nikko Edomura does it during the day.
2:27 no IC card is not that big of a deal. We drove 6 hours across japan recently. The only issue is there are a few tollway entrances that ONLY accept IC cards but these are mostly in smaller towns and you can always drive to the next entrance, although this may take time.
Hi Chris, it's really important to understand that Kick is purely an advertising vehicle for it's parent online gambling website. That's it's only purpose. They want as much traffic as possible on kick regardless of how they achieve it, as a percentage will end up gambling (just check the number of their top streams sponsored by gambling), making them a huge amount of money.
Just found this "other" Abroad in Japan channel and I found it very entertaining and educational.
In case you are wondering, he apparently made fun of the Yamaguchigumi, a Japanese mafia organization. If he were to go to jail, it would be a very bad situation because some people from the organization would be there.
Karma
really enjoying the video format for the podcast
It's great seeing this guy get what was coming to him.
These dumbasses give gaijin a bad rep.
they give humanity a bad rep.
Also reinforces some unpleasant stereotypes about his particular race.
It’s unfortunate but true. Many Japanese don’t travel beyond their borders, so when us gaijin visit japan we become ambassadors and representatives of our countries / hemisphere. We may likely be their only bases for viewing foreigners.
The times I’ve been unfairly judged in Japan could partly be explained by people who look like me behaving like arseholes and causing the Japanese to look less favourably upon me as a result. I can understand it if not condone it.

Japanese Time Zone:
Japan is actually in the correct timezone and is currently set according to its line of longitude, as it should be (UTC/GMT+9).
The reason the sun sets sooner is because the majority of Japan lies at a lower latitude and therefore further away from the North Pole. The UK is considerably further North than Japan (even further north than Hokkaido) and therefore the sun sets considerably later, even in the south of the UK, compared to Japan. This is also why the UK has darker and more miserable winters.
That doesn't really make sense though. I'm at a similar latitude to Okinawa at the moment but the sun sets at 7pm whereas Okinawa is about 6pm.
In summer and winter Japan's sunrise is early and sunset early.
@@rsmith02 Most likely because you have daylight savings of some kind.
42:25 wait, do i understand it correctly? The land infamous for overworking and stuff... when it comes to shops (and service?) they are generally only open from 10AM till 5PM?
that's wild, and i thought our shops weren't open long enough :s
Some shops are open 24hrs, mostly convience stores like 7 eleven and family mart. Regular restaurants will close and other necessities around 8pm. Of course, depends on the area so you don't need to worry about it
Bars are open until the first train at 8am so it's a very night shift type job

33:08 John Daub said that if someone is deported, he will not be able to return in 7 years, I think he said.
The last guy I knew that acted like that in Japan was a white service member in the Navy, he loved to talk about dropping the bombs and making fun of the Japanese suffering.
None of us wanted to be around that guy. We all left the ship on Friday night and by Monday morning we heard that they found him.
There were tons of complains from local Japanese people and I guess someone decided to do something about it. They took a lead pipe to his skull, he did not die, but I know he wished he was. Cracked orbital bones, sunken eye, smashed cheeks, skull, teeth... you get the point. No one felt bad for him, you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

Not as familiar with this channel to know who this Johnny guy is but enjoyed this podcast with British Pete! All the best!
Your ramen shop studio looks so good that I keep thinking it's a green screen.
The lighting on Chris makes the background look like greenscreen, only the red light behind his hair makes it look real. It is a mismatch of lighting styles I think but not sure.
One of the biggest laughs I've had in a while was Johnny S. getting knocked out. The man is literally unconscious and his stream is lit up by people laughing at him. He's arrested and done as a streamer. The world is a better place.
He is not done, I doubt that.
In better hypotesis he will do in another country like he done in Thailand this year.
I'm almost certain he will be banned here for TOS violations. Those charges kinda are going to be an issue for him. Wonder what's next... Maybe Rumble?
Yeah, he's probably going to be 'encouraged' by this, unfortunately. Sort of like that utter dipshit who said he's going to continue making his 'content' despite getting shot (near point blank range) and hospitalised while filming a so-called prank. Everyone cheered when the shooter was found not guilty (at least of the main charges, the minor ones are being appealed, IIRC).
I've been to Nikko just a few weeks ago and it's really nice, the temples in Nikko while gorgeous are way too touristy and crowded, I much more enjoyed lake Chunzenji area.
If you go to Nikko go to Roppongazawa observation deck, the view from there was one of the most breathtaking views I've ever seen, the roads north from there were also really nice, there are some beautiful farm/ranches on the way and they have spectacular views, I really envy the farmers living there
Heard about this while I was visiting Japan and so glad that asshole's cruelty (call it what it is) was finally clamped down upon.
I can’t stand cardio either Pete, especially running 🫠 About 3 years however, I got into Jiu Jitsu, fell in love with it, and the training and rolling is an amazing cardio workout. I lost 30kg just training and having fun. Anyways, consider trying out some BJJ, you’ll get great cardio in and learn ground karate. It’s addictive. Love you guys, all the best!

To be fair, getting a 6-pack is surprisingly a lot simpler than people led on. For the untrained person, 6 months is ample time if they only just learned how to work out. A once overweight gym buddy of mine started lifting at the beginning of this year and has shown progress to some weight loss and muscle buildup, then did a challenge to specifically work on abs and chest for a six pack.
Did it in 45 days. It just takes dedication and perseverance, and 3 months is a well enough amount of time to get a beautiful set of abs
Well, getting "Liver King implant" would be probably faster, albeit expensive and thus more appealing for flexing "influencers"…
Question for those who are more knowledgeable than I:
How has Johnny Somali managed to stay in Japan that long? He doesn't appear to have a regular job, so no work visa. Tourist visas are only good for 90 days. What type of visa does he have that has allowed him to be present in the country for 6 months?
The cops can detain you here for a long time, 2 weeks for no visa, they deport you, the forms were in Japanese of course, but when I went to jail place to visit some nice office workers, who didn’t like the system, were so nice to me helped me with all the forms and I GOT IN THE JAIL TO VISIT, and got to talk to my 2 girlfriends, and left a small cake they said they got it. There was a cop sitting there listening to every word but I talked real Fast, and said I could do something if we’ll because I knew someone they said they were ok. So the did get kicked out and yes 2 weeks.
You don't need a pop filter for the SM7B. That fuzzy part in the front that you talk into is the built in one.
was the abandoned building in question in fukushima the casino video? i'm just curious if i saw that urbex by mistake
5:28 I had to do a double take because Chris pronounced Melbourne correctly 😮
Maybe a disgruntled Australian taught him how to say it since last time 😅
Out of curiosity, I think that's how I (native English) and most similar friends would say it, what stood out about it can I ask? Saying 'Mel-bunn'? Or am I saying it wrong too XD Thanks!
@@lottefrp3683 Most Americans not in the know would read "Melbourne" and say "Mell-burn", but the Australian way of saying it is "Mel-bin". It's a bit of a shibboleth, like Canada's Toronto being pronounced "Tuh-ron-oh" or New York City's famous Houston Street being pronounced "House-tun".
Do you guys stop at car stops to eat, or use the onsen ( the ones that have it). I took a tour to Lake Biwa and Kyoto when I was a student at a Japanese Language school in Okazaki City. We stopped in a couple of the auto stops and they were awesome.
Nyah, Japanese lawmakers know very well that you guys are the good guys. and one of the best. 😀
I just wish they would deal with people like that streamer the same in the US, people get away with too much. We have too many dumb people who aren't raised to respect people, places or things.
Worst are auditors that harass people while toeing the law. Seriously deranged bunch, all of them need to be spanked.

As much as I enjoy this man’s work, I have to say that I came here for the information that starts around 20:40.
Before this podcast I had never heard of Johnny Somali.
Nah I want him to be in prison for 3 years or whatever the max sentence was for trespassing, then deported and banned from Japan.
💋 Hey Chris I was looking at the Guardian today and saw some very interesting photos of Jazz bars in Japan, the majority being in Tokyo. It might make an interesting subject for a video. Maybe you could include Natsuke. Thanks for another interesting podcast. What is up with Pete?
Really disappointing that one individual can make such a bad name for the rest of us as creators.

Oh Chris, haha, I laughed about your comment of the Huntsman spiders in Australia, I am Australian, I turned 65 in September and wouldn’t have seen a handful of Huntsman spiders in my whole life. It makes me laugh how some people have these ideas about Australia 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised Johnny wasn't found facedown inTokyo Bay.
concrete boots huh?
Deportation not enough. Jail time (at least a year) plus deportation and permanent ban.
You often say not to travel to Japan in the summer because of the sweltering heat. Is it still unbearably hot if you go as far north as Hokkaido if you wanted to go in July/August? My partner's birthday is the end of July and they love Sapporo. I wanted to plan our vacation around the birthday but always passed on the destination due to your stories.
If it helps, I did the stupid thing and went to central and south Japan incl. Okinawa this late Aug- Sept. It's f*king hot, jeez louise more than any country I've been to that you classically think of as 'hot', BUT I still had an amazing time. And sweated. A lot. If you're going North that's much more sensible than what I did, and if I (and my Dad, in 60s) can survive that, the North would likely be at least a little better. Having said that, if you can push it any later at all- do so. Even a week makes a lot of difference as we had friends travelling just ahead of us, and the heat was insane. Good luck with your future trip :D
I lived in Japan for 7 years. If you fly into Tokyo during July/August, prepare yourself for high temperatures plus humidity - minimum 80%, sometimes 90%. And as someone from Southern California, I can confirm wet heat is more uncomfortable (and dangerous, since sweating isn’t as effective) than dry heat. However! I’ve also been to Hokkaido in August (2019), and yes, it’s much less hot and humid in Sapporo. This may have changed since 2019 because of climate change and all, but yeah, if you want to avoid the sweltering heat, maybe try flying directly to Sapporo.
Once he served 3 years in prison, he should go to China and yell "June 4 1989" everywhere.😂
For the person on chemo, be careful of travelling during winter/'flu season as your vaccination(s) may not be effective post-chemo and your white cell counts might not be back to what they were to fight off stuff you might encounter.
I hope the rest of your treatment goes well.
People like Johnny Somali just piss me off. One of the reasons we see places and businesses post things like "no tourists" or "Japanese only" are because of people like him. I'm a foreigner but my background is Japanese so thankfully such restrictions wouldn't really affect me, but it saddens me to know that others have to put up with this BS because of individuals like him who ruin it for the rest of us.
Buddy those “no gaijin” bars have been around for decades
And they’re pretty rare to come across these days
@@dennissheckleburg9775 I don't ever recall saying it was never a thing or that it was rampant, but it is still a thing and happening because of people like Johnny
@@faboo2001 yeah he ruined his life lmao
Oh ha ha "yu goh fat" i can hear the accent in my head and this makes me chuckle
Johnny Somali is also risking more charges because the police is watching all the streams that he made and see if he made more offences, but for now, he's risking 3 to 5 years in prison... And the worst of it is that the yakuza wants his head and probably waiting for him in prison!
He's must be getting crazy because right now he can't drink alcohol, no cellphone with him, no television, no internet, only a phone call per day, and strict timetable to respect in prison, and probably hiding from the yakuza!!!
Haha that yakuza thing is so far from any reality. 😂 Nobody wants his ugly empty head. And certainly not any yakuza.
Lots of toll roads in the UK, like 20 or something? I'm always getting dinged there.
The first 14 seconds truly made me feel like Chris has dived fully being a youtuber. A bit a tease talking about internet drama. Always love your podcasts btw. 😂🎉
There are several people like this guy out there. One in the U.K. I know of who has since stopped and apologized for harassing people. One here in America got shot because he got all up in some guys face. He survived and they went to trial.
Something positive could come out of the episode of JS
Visitors to Japan will see this and be more mindful of their behaviour and in turn will enjoy the stay even more
I highly doubt it, people like Logan Paul and this guy simply don't care. these aren't the type of people who care about what other people think. These are the type of people who think the word revolves around them, that they are better then everyone else, and they get joy out of disrespecting and bothering other peoples lives. Actually trying to tell them not to do something likely only pushes these types of people to do it more, they are the type of people who don't like to be told what to do and being told they can't do something will only push them to do it more to prove a point.
@@zengrath threat of prison time does concentrates mind and manners are soon remembered
Since when did you have a podcast Chris
I want to clarify here that the arrest rate is not 99%.
Arrest is a process, and the prosecution chooses to prosecute or not prosecute, and the court decides guilt or innocence.
If you are charged, you are guilty 97% of the time, but that's because there is evidence.
If there is no clear evidence, the case is dropped and the accused is released.
In some cases, if the crime is minor and the person is remorseful, the case is dropped.
The conviction rate in Japan is well known, but it is misinterpreted and spread by foreigners.
I would like you to get your perception right.
By the way, if you don't have money to hire a lawyer, the government gives you the choice of a free lawyer or to defend yourself.
By the way, before Somali, in the case of a streamer named Joey who broke into a ryokan and a private home in Fukushima, Japan.
He was detained for nearly 30 days on two charges and released without prosecution.
After nearly 20 days in custody, the first charge was dropped and he was acquitted, and then he was re-arrested and detained on the second charge, which was nearly 30 days.
Even if arrested, the results can vary.
There are requirements for deportation, including crimes lasting more than a year, illegal residence, and violent crimes.
In Somali's case, he was only trespassing for a short time and with no danger and only for conspicuous purposes, so even if he is convicted, it is highly likely that he will not meet the requirements, which are likely to be six months or so.
If it were possible, I would not want him to come to Japan again, but I have no choice but to obey the law.
inb4 the govt give him the "Persona non Gratia" red card
If you are arrested in Japan, it mean they have something on you. Quite often they will hope to elicit a confession out of you. Then they will have something.
I was told recently that, "You don't get a six pack in the gym. You get a six pack in the kitchen." Getting your body fat low enough is done by cutting calories and when you see super ripped guys in pics or movies, they're usually super dehydrated.
Did you relocate the set?
I’ve lost over 50lbs in 3 months several times throughout my life chris. You can absolutely get that 6 pack in 3 months if you really want it and make some lifestyle changes. Especially if you enlist the help of a professional fighter, he will definitely be able to get you there!
3 month to get abs is super hard for a lot of people. It's not the training that will get you, it's the eating. If you want to do it in around 3 months, there are no cheat days. You're eating boring, less than you're used, and it's not constant either; you have to adjust if you're losing weight too fast or too slow. It's hard.
I also came back to Japan 2 weeks ago and have some strange allergies since then. No idea whats going on.
