Starting off the day as we normally do: Meemers and I going downstairs together. Ready to go, buddy?
(Meemers voice) Let's go, Mom. (normal voice) Okay, let's go.
Bit by bit, Meemers.
I know you always get faster than me (inaudible).
(upbeat music)
Thanks for checking the path if it's clear.
(tinkly, upbeat music)
That's how we're gonna start up this video!
Are you recordin'? - [Simon] (Western voice) I'm recordin' today!
- (Western voice) I'm recordin'! - Alright!
- Recordin' a picture of my cat's butt.
You know what I'm gonna say 'cause we've been playing too much Red Dead?
You're okay. You're okay, boy. - You're okay, boy.
- You're doin' alright. There, there. - Uh-oh.
- You're okay, boy.
You're okay, there there.
You're all right.
Okay, okay kitty. (gunshot noises)
(grunting)
The struggle to keep my arms up
while doing interesting hairstyles.
It's so painful!
Oh my god. It's so burning.
It's like a burning sensation, like lactic acid in all the bottoms of your joints and arms.
This is uh,
this is what it's like to do your hair upright.
Oh, dear God.
We need to sticky roll-everything. Cat and dog have made every item of clothing...
a - it's just... These are things you have to accept as a pet mom.
- I'm gonna be honest - - Y'know, that your clothing is always gonna be covered in fur.
- You need to stop getting black clothing. Get some clothing with some color in it.
Some whites in there. - But all the black clothing represents
(demonic voice) the darkness in my heart.
Isn't he adorable? I know where I should put him.
Into my tiny window garden, which has, I'll admit,
gotten a little bit full. Don't really have anywhere to put tourist Pikachu.
So I'm gonna put him down here where the garden is ever-expanding.
I see that someone here has knocked over my creatures, probably Simon.
I'll be honest with you.
I had to start moving the wildlife, like the garden and the cats and stuff,
to a different section because I had so many of them. Kind of an overflow cat situation happening over here.
But that's not what this video is about, me having too much stuff.
No, no, because today we are gonna head out to Nakano Broadway,
which is a bit like baby Akihabara and it has lots of collectibles.
This is where it got all my Pokemon for my outdoor garden.
And I think I need to update this garden with a little bit of a spring feeling. Don't you think, ducky?
- Yeah... You know... - Doesn't it seem totally like it's got too much of a winter vibe?
You know what I'm - I hear you, Simon. I know. - Ah...
Simon has been telling me, (deep voice) "Girl, when are you gonna update your window garden?
It definitely needs more of a spring feel."
- I don't think "update" was the word. I think -
I mean you're - it's starting to creep into the sink area.
And now under there. There's gotta be...
(creepy piano)
So uh, today let's go on an adventure in Nakano Broadway in search of tiny things!
(chill music)
So by the way, you look very snazzy right now, ducky.
- Thanks, girl. - I think you look really lovely.
- Aw, I love you, girl. Hold on. - Look at how dapper you look.
Look at you, you handsome. Oh! - Oh!
I think you have a crush on me, girl!
Mmm! - Crush on you!
- Got a crush on me, girl? - I got a crush on you.
- Mmm! Mmm-hmm!
- Oh yeah, work those dad looks. - Aw yeah. If you had a crush for me before, you don't anymore.
(Martina laughing) - Mm, yeah!
- (laughing) I don't know what this move he's doing is, I'm so sorry.
- Yeah girl, come get it! Mmm! (laughter)
- I don't know what this dance is, he's never done it before.
- Oh! Konnichiwa. - Konnichiwa.
- Sorry. (Martina speaking Japnese)
- I'm American, not Canadian. I'm American.
- But you look so cool and you got -
- My name is Logan Paul.
- Ooh.
Ichigo daifukus are in season.
- So this here is pretty much our version of a Denny's.
I mean, there is a Denny's over there, but this is kind of like a grandma restaurant.
Fast food chain... - It's called a family restaurant.
- It's a fam - - Have you never heard this phrase?
- Family restaurant, that's - I guess that's what it is.
We've been going to a family restaurant in Japan right around the neighborhood. We love it.
Absolutely love this place.
- [Martina] One of the things we really like is that this restaurant actually has the calories, uh,
written on the menu so that you can easily decide if you want to have like a thousand calories.
Or if I want to take it easy and have like 400. It's really helpful.
- [Simon] Konnichiwa.
(Martina ordering items in Japanese)
- [Simon] Did you ever think there's gonna be a day
in which you lived in Japan and you would just order stuff all in Japanese?
- No. You know, what's amazing is that I feel like we have a goal,
and then when we get there
we don't pat ourselves on the back for it. We say,
"Oh, you can be better at this, or you could be better."
And we never really take the time to stop and be like,
holy cow, ducky. We live in Japan now and now I'm able to read this menu.
Yet when I read this menu, I will tell myself you'd be better If you could just read more Japanese.
We can speak more. Why am I telling myself these negative things?
Like I can already read majority of this
That's really cool. Good job, Martina. - Good job, love.
- With your old rusty brain.
(laughing) Falling apart over time.
- (Western voice) You're doing alright, girl.
- You're doing okay. - You're doing alright.
- [Simon] Oh-ho.
Ooh. (server speaking)
- [Simon] Hai, arigato.
We got small noodles.
And you got this hot pot. What's in there?
Ooh.
Real nice.
Literally never had anything like this before in a menu.
I saw it, I figured I try it out.
I've been here for three years. Don't know what this is. You could always try something new, and maybe...
Not be disappointed! Ah, these are all really crispy noodles.
I'm not used to this. Is this like a...
chow mein of sorts?
Am I supposed to do something else here? There's no instructional manual here.
(jaunty music)
Ah. Hm!
Hmm.
Weird.
(Martina laughing)
Literally came with some vinegar and a little bit of wasabi.
I really don't know what I'm doing so I'm just gonna...
- Oh no, boooooo.
- I have no idea what I'm doing.
This isn't meant to be an educational video. It shows you -
- Education comes later after we practice trying dishes that we don't know. - Yeah, we gotta practice, we gotta learn,
we gotta make mistakes and then we'll figure out what to do.
- I gotta tell you, Ihave a feeling you were supposed to...
dash the vinegar onto the salad.
Not make a mash of vinegar and wasabi paste.
- I don't know. - And I think you're supposed to mix this all up and make it juicy.
(rough voice) I'll mix you up and make you juicy. - Make you juicy, girl.
- I knew you were gonna say something like that so I just...
- What do I do with this mustard? - (laughing) The mustard and vinegar went together...
- Alright, hold on. Let me just put my mustard there. - What are you doing?
What are you doing right now?
- I don't know, I wasn't taught. There's no classes for this.
There's no Simon and Martina of
foods that I've never seen before.
- "Where are you guys, and we need it to happen!" - "Where are you? Teach me how to eat!"
- I don't know! (chuckles)
Mmm...
Oh, oh! (man speaking Japanese)
- Oh! (Japanese) Okay.
(grunting) Ahh...
And, okay! - [cashier] Arigatōgozaimasu.
- Coin, (Japanese)?
(Japnese) and (Japanese).
Hai, arigato.
Okay!
(mimicking fanfare sounds)
Arigato.
- I got a message from Dan and Dan's like, "Hey, can I give you a call right now?
I have a plan." So I gave him a call and he said that
because I can't snowboard anymore because of EDS,
he's figured out a way that he can snowboard down the hill with me live on video,
so it can feel like I'm going down the hill again. - Oh!
- So he said he's just on the chairlift and I was like, holy cow! Like, I could see all of Japan.
- Yeah. - From a chairlift! Like... - Yeah.
- What's happened to technology? And he's gonna call me back, and then,
we're gonna watch, live, Dan on a mountain.
(upbeat music)
- [Dan] Woah! God, nearly fell then.
- [Martina] Oh my god, I'm gonna capture all this chaos on camera for sure.
- No, this is gonna be... this is gonna totally work.
- Where are you by the way?
- Uh, Shiga Kogen, I think.
(Dan talking) (end call tone)
(Martina laughing)
- And then, and then...
And then he presses the hang up button with his thumb and doesn't realize, and he goes, "Okay!
Let's go!" And then he goes, "Last run of the day. Did you get it?"
(phone ringing) Okay, hang on.
Are you going backwards down a hill right now? - I am, yeah.
- Oh my god, please don't go off the edge or into that child. - Don't worry.
This is - this is one of the things in life
I actually feel probably more natural than walking at, so I'm alright.
(laughs) But yeah, so this is Shiga Kogen - (inaudible)
- That's so cool!
- Green or the red? - Red.
- Red? Hell yeah, red.
- [Martina] This is like VR! (laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Simon] I have a question. - Yeah.
- That's a nice little pinwheel you got there. - Yes?
- See any other bikes here with any other...
pinwheels? Or any other...
frilly dillies on their basket?
Looks like yours is the only one, girl. - People have strawberry seats?
- Wh-who? That's your strawberry seat.
Everyone else has a boring-ass seat.
- Doesn't everybody want their bike to look, like, happy and joyful?
Right? - I would imagine they should.
- So why wouldn't you put stickers on it and like, pick a cool color and like, razzle-dazzle it?
- Makes sense to me. - Makes me happy every time I see it. - Good.
- And when I bike and my pinwheel goes in the wind, like today?
I felt like I was gonna get lifted off the ground like Mary Poppins.
Like I was like, maybe if I go a little bit faster, I could get some air! Like for a second,
I thought that. It makes me feel, like, childish and happy.
- Yeah. - You know? - You're so pure.
- So why wouldn't - - Bless your pure soul.
- Why wouldn't people do it? - You are - I love you so much.
Mwah!
(chill music)
- Are you ready to go? - Let's roll! - Let's go (inaudible).
This is fun. - I think so.
- [Martina] Okay, when was the last time we came to (inaudible) and went out on the weekend?
- We usually hide on the weekends. That's why we did our last one at home.
Look at the line just to get on the escalator.
(music and man speaking Japanese over speaker)
- [speaker] Doors on the right side will open.
The stop after Nakano will be Shinjuku.
(upbeat music) (subway sounds)
- [Simon] So busy here today!
(upbeat music)
(upbeat music) (man speaking Japanese, amplified)
(upbeat music) (market sounds)
(upbeat music)
- Here's the problem.
There's a favorite shop that I come to and they have this giant plastic basket,
and it's just filled to the brim with little plastic Pokemon that are perfect for the weather.
- I think it's down that way. - I think it is, as well.
- I remember it being that way.
(groovy music)
(cheering and heavenly music)
- I think this is the one. - That's the one? - Yeah.
It's perfect. See?
(inaudible) - Pikachu.
- [Martina] Hmm.
Mmm...
Mmm... I mean...
- [Simon] You can just... - Wigglytuff it is.
- Gosh. You got so many here. You got Steiner...
Got Final Fantasy 9 stuff. - I thought I saw Cloud back there.
- Yeah, this is Cloud and his double but I'm not sure if I want that one.
(cash register sound effect)
(jaunty music)
- [Martina] Lucky day.
- Arigatou gozaimasu.
- They have like, pre-opened little boxes.
Instead of like, being like, "I want to get the Pikachu burger,
but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it,
I'm gonna buy one of those mystery boxes." - Mm-hmm?
- They buy them and then charge you more to have it pre-opened.
But you know what you're gonna get.
- Clever. - Yeah, so I'm able to like, finish my collection.
- [Martina] We're doing a springtime theme, right? - Yeah.
- For example, there's a garden party here.
- A garden party would make sense. - Right? But this is Snoopy and I'm not that into Snoopy.
So this is like a bubble gum dispenser.
But that's not quite springtime, is it? It's over here.
It's a tiny spring garden. - There you go.
- Ooh, there's even a TV center.
I guess if I get like a couch, I could fit more toys on the couch. - Right.
- 'Cause right now...
- It's not just about buying a toy. It's about buying the furniture for the toys.
- Yeah, 'cause you just don't want to have one level.
You want to have like, various levels.
- Girl, stick your face in the pipi hole.
Just put your face in the pipi hole.
- [Simon] You wanna fake live mic? Um, alright, I guess.
(Martina gasps)
- [Simon] You gettin' a little tuckered out, girl?
- Yeah. - Alright, we're having a good time. Look at you, you're gonna get a Kirby.
- Yeah.
(machine rattling)
- [Martina] -shit, so that you get something shitty
and you go, "Damnit!" And you (inaudible).
- Whatcha got, girl?
- UFO Kirby. - Alright!
- This is really cute, actually. (chuckling)
- And I am out of spoons completely -
- Alright. - -and utterly for the day.
(chipper, charming music)
(chill music)
- [Martina] So I got pretty...
tucked out. I thought I had like pretty high levels of energy today.
Which I think I did pretty well. - Yeah, at the beginning, yeah.
- With all the bending down and rifling through things
and standing up has made me a little bit like,
tuckered out and light-headed, so,
we're gonna call it quits for today, which is alright.
I've learned... It's taken me a long time to learn that it's okay if I can't finish everything in one day.
I just gotta accept the energy that I have, so calling it quits for now.
- (western voices) There, there, girl. You doing alright. (Martina whinnying)
(more whinnying) - There you go.
- Where's my oatcakes?
- [Simon] So Martina reached into my glass, pulled out an ice cube...
and started rinsing her hands when...
there's literally a washroom right there behind her. - Okay, well.
I didn't see the washroom. - Explain -
You mean you didn't turn your head? You just reached...
You just fisted my drink!
- And I'll do it again.
- [Martina] (raspy) Are you recording the video? - I am, girl.
- We've been through this. (Simon chuckles)
- Sweet girl. - Ducky.
- (western voice) Hey, there, there. You doin' alright.
There, there, girl. There, there. Who wants an oatcake?
- I wanna oatcake!
- I'm sorry, girl, ain't got no oatcakes.
Hang in there, monkey. - Please get me an oatcake.
- Okay, um...
Where can I get oatcakes? Amazon.
- Will you brush my mane?
- (western voice) Okay. Oh there, there, girl. You doing alright.
(Martina whinnying) - There, there.
(whinnying) - I'm sorry.
- (singing) Sometimes being a girl sucks.
- I know. I know. - Suuuuuuuucks!
I'm exposed on camera. - Oh, no!
Ooh! My breasts are so big!
- Can't help it. I was born that way.
Oh my god. - What's happening, girl?
- I'm wearing my special shirt for days like this. - Yeah. - See?
- That's a good Ru Paul shirt. - What does it say?
- "Step your pussy up." - Yeah.
- Am I allowed to say that or is that just...? I don't know.
- Sure, we can pick Meemers up and we can take him up the stairs.
And we can step him up another stair.
- Is this what Ru Paul meant? I'm not...
I did it twice.
- [Martina] Can you bring my pussy back?
- Aw jeez, what a heavy fu -
- Meemers. - Talk to me more, Meemers.
- Meemers. (Simon chuckles)
- Meemers.
Come to me.
Thanks, sweet boy. - Sweet kitty.
- Thanks, buddy.
- Oh, girl. - It's like...
Someone is taking a knife...
and stabbing it into your
intestinal tract zone area, and just...
wiggling it around. - Oh no.
- (exhales_ So ladies!
Do you get bad cramps like me? Not all of us do.
Some of us are blessed with just the normal pain.
"Blessed." Ha ha ha.
(groans)
Just gonna... right here for a bit.
Oh.
- [Simon] Oh, you sweet girl. You're trying so hard.
- This is such a great thing to hug.
It's just a big cupcake. Feels like I have a weird belly button made out of a cherry.
- Mm-hmm. (high-pitched noises)
- Did you see on Twitter today, ducky? Somebody got a rainbow Build a Ladder tattoo put onto their arm.
- Mm-hmm. (jaw pops)
- There we go, that sounds a bit better.
I was like, so shocked and moved by it because...
When I shared it with you guys on my video about
battling depression and my chronic illness,
I was so nervous and scared that you guys would find it silly,
and that you guys might be like, "This is...
ridiculous," and laugh at it.
You guys also said it helped you and you embrace the idea
and you're sharing your Tweets and your hashtags with me now.
The #BuildALadder and it's been...
incredible for me to be able to see that this simple thing in my mind wasn't me being a crazy person.
It was something that was actually able to help people.
So I am so grateful, you guys, that you're able to
have this Build A Ladder thing help you out, and I'm gonna keep building the ladder,
and we're going to keep building a ladder, ducky. We're doing it every day.
There's no building a ladder stop, you know.
Can't stop, won't stop. And when I'm having a good week or I'm having a bad week,
I'm still building a ladder and it's just becoming natural now. Don't you think, ducky? - Mm-hmm. I think so, girl.
- I think I'm getting more natural at it. Like it's part of my vocabulary rather than me having to think about it.
- You're doing a great job.
Even if you uterus is killing ya.
- Yeah, I'm trying my best but my uterus is being real sneaky today. Just real, you know...
indecisive about their their choices of decorations. - Cut it out.
- So frustrated.
- [Simon] C'mon girl, whatcha got? (Martina whimpers)
- Sweetheart.
- Ugh, I sat on the toilet so long and my foot went numb.
(Simon chuckles)
- I cannot... You know what?
I'm gonna call it. I'm not filming today.
Here's the stuff that I got. It's wonderful. I'll show you it tomorrow.
Okay? What's that, it's pink!
What's that? It's orange. What's that? It's a couch. I gotta go.
This day's over.
Blame the uterus!
(happy music)
- [Martina] First up is Wigglytuff. And this was my most expensive one at two dollars and fifty cents.
He was actually in a bag because he was protected, while the rest of them
I got out of the dollar bin.
But I love Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff.
This guy I got as a total joke because when Pokemon Go first came out in Japan,
this was the only thing we could catch in our neighborhood.
(laughs) - [Simon] I know! Over and over!
- The three, the two of them. Or the three of them or the two of them, or the three of them.
And we hated them, so I was like, we need to put him in our garden.
Also for the record, I'm not like some huge Pokemon fan.
I couldn't call myself like a Pokemon otaku.
But I think that they're really cute and I love seeing the new variations that they're trying to make.
Plus, I really did like Pokemon Go.
We loved it until all we could catch was this, nonstop all the time.
I got him because it looks like a bunch of, well...
You know. - Fingers?
- Straight - - Sausages?
- And who doesn't want to have a fish out of water?
I think this is one of those epic Pokemon
that's super huge 'cause it has a tree growing on it. - Is it Bowser?
- That's not Bowser! You... you're racist against turtles with shells.
Bowser's a turtle, right?
- What the f*ck is Bowser? Bowser's a dragon. - Bowser's a turtle.
- Bowser's a dragon. But all... - But he has a shell.
And he ducks into it and he goes around and hits Mario.
Guys. Bowser's a turtle, right?
(mindblow)
- [Martina] Look at his nose.
Somebody has like played with him so much that
his nose came off and then they abandoned him.
And I won't abandon you, Pikachu. Just 'cause your nose is gone doesn't mean you're not great.
Pika pikaaa!
(UFO sounds)
- Okay, these are supposed to go outside because they're waterproof, but I really love Wigglytuff.
- [Simon] (whispering) Alright. - (whispering) Okay then.
- You're in. - You're in, Wiggly.
I'll fix you later, buddy, but you enjoy that cake. - Okay, he's in there.
- [Simon] (whispering) "Welcome to my little garden."
(gasps) (whispers excitedly)
- [Simon] There you go.
(chipper, charming music)
- [Simon] (hushed) This little guy in this mini garden there.
- [Martina] I built this little rock garden so that Spudgy wouldn't, um, come in here...
and pick it up.
(music)
- [Simon] Old, dirty Pikachu.
- [Simon] (whispering) Oh yeah, there's little Blastoise right there.
- (whispering) Bulbasaur. - (whispering) Bulbasaur, that's what -
- (whispering) Why are we whispering? - (whispering) I dunno, why are we whispering?
- So I think even though you weren't able to do this in the day that you had planned,
like we - it took us three days to get stuff in your garden,
but I'm (inaudible). And I'm glad now that we're able to
listen to our bodies and take better care of ourselves. - Yeah.
I think it is scary to like, slow down and it is very...
Mentally, it's a new challenge that you have to say that there are limits for yourself.
It feels sometimes like
I didn't achieve anything or I didn't do enough in that one day.
But now what we're starting to tell ourselves is that that's a really unhealthy message,
and we should be telling ourselves: Okay,
well, you got part of your goal done. Good for you for getting anything done. - Right!
- So many times - - Some people don't even start.
Some people are so caught up in their heads that they're too afraid to start.
And we're just gonna keep pushing forward as long as we can.
- Yes, so I really want to encourage this for you guys as well.
Simon's been along for, you know, my journey of,
of being super capable to being a little bit less
able to do things and I hope you still like me the way I am.
- I think you're great.
I think you're better now than you ever were before. - Thanks.
- I like you more now than back in the day.
- I like you more now than when we first went, too.
- Well, good. - And I did not like you, I loved you.
I was like, "Let's get married!" And now I love you even more than that.
- I'm glad. - So, well thanks for being with me on this little journey of patience,
and it's okay, yeah... - Thanks for watching
these little journeys that we have.
And we'll see you all next week with another video. - Next week Martina learns to knit!
No. (chuckles)
- Oh yeah! That's the entertainment you've been looking for! - Pearl one, drop one!
- No, I already know how to knit, so... - Hey. You're doing alright, girl.
- (in unison) There, there. There, there.
- You're doing alright. There, girl. - You're doing alright.
- We need to stop playing Red Dead Redemption.
- Needa get another video game off-camera. Okay.
- [Simon] (western voice) There, there, now. Video's over.
(normal voice) But if you want to see how much Martina's miniature garden has grown,
check out our original house tour.
Our house looks very different now than it did back then.
Or if you're interested in some more laughs, click over here for the bloopers because we got some
extra scenes that we didn't include in this video.
(western voice) Oh there, there, boy. There, there. There, there, boy.
