@conbiniboys what are you gonna do about it?

[Ollie Horn @olliehorncomedy]

May I please remind you that next week I will be in JAPAN performing stand-up comedy.

If you live in JAPAN (Tokyo or Fukuoka) I can assure you of no better way to spend an evening than in my very nice company with a glass of (included in the ticket price!) beer. Thank you!

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

Sold out and got rave reviews when Ollie did it, so you'll either get to see an amazing show, or find out AT LONG LAST which co-host is the funny one. Either way, worth the money.

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

👀 might there be a new episode incoming? 🛶

[Hikosaemon @hikosaemon]

Liked the river run the other day so ran the Kanda river to Sumida today. It’s a shame central Tokyo doesn’t make its riversides more accessible for recreation.

Enemy of the show @jakeadelstein joins @BobbyJudo and @olliehorncomedy for a special episode all about former prime minister and current assassination victim Abe. Wherever you get your podcasts or at https://t.co/M1SmqfmIYT!

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

Yo! JBRC host @BobbyJudo and JBRC sticker-owner @yukinivez are doing this amazing show in Tokyo. If you've missed our Japan-based humor, this is a good chance to catch some live and also a good test case for planning a JBRC live show. (koff koff)

@DougDinsdale Nobody has ever advocated for word-for-word machine translation though.

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

New Episode Up!
@McReynoldsJoe is co-author of a new book about how flexible micro-spaces create the spontaneity and vitality of Tokyo and how so much of the city is built on the very niche dreams of its citizens (and also slash-fan-fiction).

@RobertAlanWard would you be interested in sharing your thoughts on our Japan news podcast (150 episodes to date)? 50k+ reach, and we plan a special episode on Abe’s passing. Recording remotely this weekend. Thank you in advance.

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

hey look @McReynoldsJoe is gonna record a show with us, check your podcast player on Friday to see if you can detect that we made him wake up before sunrise to record 🫠

[Joe McReynolds @McReynoldsJoe]

Up at the crack of dawn here in California to record an episode of the Japan By River Cruise podcast with @olliehorncomedy and @BobbyJudo! Groggy but hopefully it doesn't come through on the podcast.

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

Back in 2015 @olliehorncomedy was putting the world to rights with his hard-hitting, gritty Japanese stand-up. With this joke alone he ended Japanese people praising foreigners for their Japanese ability.

JBRC May (?) Episode is Live NOW!
Joe Biden's Asia Tour! WaPo Bureau Chief @myhlee talks about what Biden took away from his time in Japan. If he's anything like most Americans, we're betting it was a Hello Kitty T-shirt and a fake sword.

Biden to staff: "I was told I'd be meeting with the leaders of a South Korean Army."

PewDiePie already having a big effect on the local YouTube ecosystem.

[Chris Broad @AbroadInJapan]

If all goes well, this time next week I’ll set foot in the UK for the first time since 2019🇬🇧

Can’t believe how long it’s been & how much has happened in these 2 endless years. It’s utterly unreal.

I seriously hope the world doesn’t have to endure this again in our lifetimes🙏

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

@tokyo_0 @bobwerley He is our nemesis.
(And friend)

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

Gig is up. The character and back story of Jake Adelstein was born of a bit of improv on our show and became a long running bit.
Audio clips of him are voiced by actor @bobwerley. Pictures of him were obtained by searching shutterstock for "gaijin buys into his own hype."

[Radrey @radorii]

Wait. Jake Adelstein isn’t REAL?!

[Japan By River Cruise @jbrcpod]

His tweets at @jakeadelstein are written by a bot algorithm that runs on a library of Japan reddit posts from the mid 90s.
Hope you all enjoyed the project, and sincere apologies to Jess Nakamura, who is real.
