NOTIFICATION SQUAD: To miss the Natsuki cameo in this video would be a crime! Well folks, you can't beat a good road trip and this was easily one of the most fun videos I've produced in 9 years. A HUGE thanks to my best American friend PETE for coming along for the ride (even if his motives were questionable). You can find him over on Twitch where he streams most nights (🌟https://www.twitch.tv/premiertwo ) and I look forward to stopping by and doing some shows with him in a few weeks to celebrate surviving our journey.

Chris is that serious friend with witty comebacks while Pete is that bubbly friend who is always excited and energetic, trying to cheer up Chris. A dynamic duo. chef's kiss

Me procrastinating by watching two grown men drive across a country in the middle of winter to fix a broken mug given as a birthday gift that has been kept in a baggie for months in pieces....I somehow see nothing wrong with this

“Hey, do you know what Japan’s northernmost town is?”
“Wakkanai.”
“Ok, I’ll ask someone else.”

Pete needs to be on more often. Dude is a fucking riot.

This feels like Abroad in Japan rebooted or the sequel to Abroad in Japan. How did we go all these years without seeing Pete and then all of a sudden it's revealed to be Chris's best friend for years?? This is like the new Fast and Furious movie because after 8 movies they never mention it but then we discover Vin Diesel has a brother and it's John Cena

The drastic difference in their personalities is just a joy to witness haha

Find someone who looks at you the way Pete looks at that rock

Pete: "Thanks for the present! Oh ... I've smashed it. I swear I'll replace it. Where did you get it?"

Natsuki: "Narnia. Good luck."

Pete: "Chris, road-trip!"

If Abroad in Japan ever has a series finale, the big reveal will be that Chris Broad is actually being forced to make these videos against his will, by a Kumamon mascot with an aluminum bat.

"The hill is also covered by 150.000 beautiful lavender plants, which are now completely DEAD "

He had us on the first half ngl

The happy enthusiastic american and the non excited sarcastic complaining Brit, best combo ever

@ecoria-x9113 5 years ago

When Pete was telling the "how-we-met" story, you knew for sure he was lying, when he said "... and he pulled out his business card and..." - pfft, everyone knows Chris is the only person in Japan to never have a business card on hand

I absolutely cannot get enough of that beautiful stereotypical British/American contrast in this video

@karlmiguerez 5 years ago (edited)

Their entire adventure was just a pun for "I don't remember"

@keza108 5 years ago

I think this trip is Pete’s revenge for Chris not getting him a birthday present.

@Wimplo86 5 years ago

Their reaction to the "floating rock" just shows the difference between an American and a British

So it's true, Natsuki is so powerful people will travel to the ends of the earth to replace a mug he gifted them. We should be glad he is a benevolent god.
