Joey when I asked you to come on this
cycle did you ever imagine you'd be
having a Sapporo beer on a beach next to
the world's biggest nuclear power plant
while stand-in Tendo 64 controller was
behind you and it was a big waifu pillow
stuck to your bicycle yes
[Music]
hey guys welcome back to journey across
Japan cycle to the death today we're in
Niigata Prefecture and it's day two of
Joseph the animation man's trip with us
joining us my first major guest how you
feeling my ass is sore is artist so we
cycled about 30 days yesterday you you
suggest that everybody's like padded
cycling pants and they did not help
water but I might as well just slapped a
mistake on my own I would have done the
same thing
poor old Jerry but today we do have the
amp a man capsule toy machine we're
accepting challenges sent in by you guys
every single day the trip and we're
about to turn ampere man's chest and get
our first major challenge of the day so
every day my production crew is putting
five or six of your challenges into
these balls alright first challenge
those of you didn't see yesterday's
challenge was decided by Joey and it
involved the dark scary haunted time we
did it it was really fun alright instead
of doing one challenge d3 this is all
got very philosophical now does this
count as a challenge or not there's a
like the the three genie three Matt
three wishes of a genie like just does
that count as a wish or I think we
should count as a challenge sure I guess
our first challenge then is to accept
two more challenges
so they've a non challenge this is gonna
be a [ __ ] show our second challenge okay
this one's cool pimp your bike with at
least five crazy Japanese items and the
third challenge the whole video is just
us [ __ ] your challenges out this
bloody machine go slowly and the third
final challenge of the day have a beer
in an unusual place what I mean from
John app Ted what is what constitutes as
an unusual place quickly subjective is
why I'm sure we can find some kind of
unusual place in you it's a it's a big
prefecture that's so pimp our bike and
have it be an unusual place
so let's get this done today we're
cycling to kashiwazaki a city that's out
40 kilometres south of here so call
first stop then let's try and find
somewhere to pimp out our bikes let's go
here we go again folks
how you feeling sitting down and away we
go
[Music]
Jerry this'll do this is better fit
hello the here
so we've stumbled across a secondhand
shop cooled off house anything with the
word off after it in Japan is a
secondhand good shop
birkoff hard off jerk off anything we've
agreed to have a limit of ten thousand
yen about hundred dollars but we can
spend as little or as much as we won of
that and we've got buy five things each
let's go and see we can find yeah I
always have the most annoying music in
these places it's the worst like a song
alright Joey I'll see you in there see
you in 10 minutes good luck
give isn't it maybe I can win favor with
you guys by having some sort of cute
item on my bike like this adorable EE
coping fare oh okay the thing is I've no
idea what the [ __ ] I want but a lot of
clothes in here which I want Wesley I
think I found something
no I have to wonder if I'm the only one
who finds Elmo a little bit creepy look
at his face look at his face look at his
face I think I found something pretty
nice this is this whole section right
here for random crap nah I think I can
find some pretty interesting things in
so yeah let's see what I can find
I saw Jerry sneak off to the clothes and
toys section whereas I went to the
electronics in games part where you can
get like games for the 19 1980s and
1990s don't know how I'm gonna fit a
Nintendo 64 game onto my bike but to be
honest I'm just looking for an excuse to
walk around and look at old retro games
I love it come on where are your golden
eye there are you golden eye Stephanie's
second-hand shops absolute miracle you
can buy things from 20 years ago that
look almost brand new just because
Japanese people take such good care of
things you know if you guys think we're
gonna have trouble spending ten thousand
yen today just to put things in
perspective here's a PlayStation the 324
yen I don't think it works though it is
in the junk section to be fair
[Music]
so just finished shopping
I spent a whopping three thousand nine
hundred yen forty dollars would you
spend how did you spend that money I
spent one thousand four hundred and four
years fourteen dollars I spent half the
word you but no less than their nitro
back just right to it it was cool
[Music]
my life is all about waiting in left so
we just finished came out our bikes and
first things first Joey's gonna give us
the tour of his one hit my bicycle what
we got
check this [ __ ] out check this out check
this [ __ ] out so first off I have the
waifu pillar the white shape it like i
was originally going to put on my ass
right so sit off but it's a bit thick
maybe to be dangerous
well I seen a spike like it was his
purpose now its purpose now is whenever
I get tired which I do on this trip
right right I'm like oh man all hope is
lost I look down a beautiful girl
staring back at me its moral support so
it's a beacon of hope
yeah she's like gum beret or [ __ ]
something other so instead I've got the
one-piece towel yeah instead to sit on
and it's actually pretty coffee like oh
yeah it's nice and thick what have we
got over here at the front here we've
got the Oni mask in case any of my
haters are in front of me I can scare
them away with this what's the megaphone
for the megaphone is if you're in front
of me you know and then good marine
secretly on the east what is that so
whenever on a rocky road right you know
the back tire is bouncing up and down or
you know exactly where I am these are
not good to get very annoying very
quickly
oh that's exactly the point so I have
sound coming from the back and the front
Wow so I've gone a very different
direction so I was always inspired by
the retro video games consoles and
things we saw in this store yeah so I
kick things off with a Nintendo 64
controller first games console ever had
so I can look at that and feel the
static there's not much progress in
space it's more like nostalgia valley
same goes for the PlayStation Dual Shock
controller which I've also put there
also stress relief if I get a bit
stressed like him she don't crack the
bottom around the button sitting around
with the n64 controller right when I was
a kid I always wanted drums I always
wanted a drum kit but my parents
couldn't afford it alright go south is
the Donkey Kong drum kit right now
whenever
on board is that during the cycle
because then you have to take my hand
off your hands but the health hazard
worse still I can't actually turn the
bike wheel I can't turn the bike wheel
very far because the drums are blocking
the wheel so it's bigger health hazard
but I think it's worth the health hazard
because I could do this yeah
also when I'm coming down the corner I
can notify people hit the old drums oh I
must be abroad in Japan coming around
the corner the drums in it also got a
blue team's speaker here this cost to
thousands this way so your entire my
entire budget is less than your voice
because my whole thing was 1,400 yeah
although this blue to speak is better
than all of your things cuz I can listen
to sick beats whilst 6ie things down the
road
finally lastly hidden Ella back here
kind of a reflective mirror for traffic
coming behind me Mario 64 one of my
favorite first games I got for Nintendo
but it's in this plastic wrapping which
reflects light so and there's a car
coming behind me light hits that bounces
back reflects people know that I'm down
the bike so yes this is a safety measure
so providing I survived the drumkit what
I'm turning this this is here to to help
me two very different designs what do
you think is the best one guys you can
write in the comments below
hashtag Joey wins or hashtag Chris wins
yeah that makes sense do that and you
can decide who the winner is but for now
we'd better hurry up we don't get bloody
going let's go still have got one more
challenge to complete we gotta find an
unusual location it's all starting to
feel like the really crappy version of
Top Gear at the poor quality low-budget
Top Gear MTV's pimp my disappointing
bike
[Music]
I'm so annoyingly noisy why would you
put a tambourine on your bath pane
[Music]
the delay sorrow bear any question
remains where to drink hit mr. anime man
you find anywhere unusual random there's
not nothing really unusual about this
place it's just pretty standard oral
area except there is one place which I
found which is let's just say it's
pretty unique
[Music]
well Joey certainly found us something
pretty unusual
it's a little bit scary to be honest
where have you brought us this is mental
it's the biggest nuclear power plant
[Music]
Hey
well later gentleman Jerry the anime man
certainly did bring us somewhere rather
unusual this is the biggest nuclear
facility on earth by output kashiwazaki
Kashiwagi nuclear power station Jerry
the anime man endorses nuclear power
this is starting to feel like product
placement for likes you clear energy
wants to fight creepy Joey when I asked
you to come on this cycle did you ever
imagine you'd be having a sapper or beer
on a beach next to the world's biggest
nuclear power plant while stand-in Tendo
64 controller was behind you and it was
a big wifey pillow stuck to your bicycle
yes excellent
fun fact in 2007 the second biggest
earthquake to ever hit a nuclear power
plant here this power plant however it
was fine they shut it down checked over
was alright magnitude 6.6 earthquake
happened just 12 miles from here well
Joseph he may be Twitter verified and
you may have collaborated with PewDiePie
by profiting tops sitting on a beach
next to the world's biggest D clip power
plant by output are you don't don't sell
yourself too short I'm sitting next to
the beach drinking a beer next to the
biggest nuclear power station in the
world with abroad in Japan and a boy
with a wife a pillow and a Nintendo 64
controller strapped to it that isn't
unusual
nothing is I think we've definitely
completed today's challenge well done
two days in a row guys we've done it
keep them coming keep sending in your
challenges before we go there Jerry yeah
well it'll treat for you and we'll use
the Bluetooth speaker okay oh we're
finally using you're gonna finally use
the blue tipz bit so I got this
Bluetooth speaker for a reason it's
2,000 yen at the secondhand goods shop
today
it looks really cheap and crap but
because it is here so the day before the
cycle started I did a rap with Netsky
about cycling and bicycles a really good
cycle video came out I got people and
Twitter to remix it and I got all sorts
of remixes come through and I thought
I'd play you up pretty pretty good yes
this is my favorite actually well done
to the person that made this you're a
legend here it is you're not ready for
this
[Music]
that's all for now though folks we hope
to see some re to do it all over again
yay see you then
Oh
[Music]
every 30 minutes you need to quote an
80s or 90s film quote this is it it's
was worth it this morning coming up here
yeah how does it feel I'm on top of the
world loving like a box of chocolates
you never know what you're gonna get
