Golden Illegal Sex Bots, Tourist Tokyo Drifts, and More! Japan Wild News 6/26/26 MAD FADED!
2026/06/30
EPISODE 817 Welcome back to Got Faded Japan, where the news is strange, the drinks are strong, and common sense is always on life support. If you listened to the previous episode, then you already know what this experiment is all about. But if you missed it, here's the story... This episode was originally recorded last week after Johnny indulged in the sweet, sweet nectar of Suntory Highballs, specifically the mighty 9% BIG-BOY cans. As a completely ridiculous social experiment, he decided to record the exact same episode again the following day while hung-TF-over-AF. In a move that may never be repeated in podcasting history, the Hangover Edition was released first, and now it's finally time for the original recording: the most faded episode of Got Faded Japan. Same news. Same Johnny. Very different levels of sobriety. So the question is: which Johnny do you prefer, the hungover survivor fueled by coffee and regret, or the fully faded Johnny powered by highballs and questionable decision-making? Tune in and enjoy what may very well be the most important podcast experiment in modern history.

Golden Illegal Sex Bots, Tourist Tokyo Drifts, and Paramedic Attacks! Japan Wild News 6/26/26
2026/06/26
EPISODE 816 Welcome to a first in Got Faded Japan history... and possibly podcast history itself!!! Last night's episode was recorded after Johnny demolished a grip of 9% Suntory Highballs. Today? He’s paying the price. This is the official Hangover Edition. As a completely ridiculous social experiment, Johnny’s reading the exact same Japan news stories from last night's episode, but this time with a pounding headache, zero alcohol in his system, and enough coffee to tranquilize a horse. In this week’s news, six men busted for importing "sex bots" allegedly stuffed with solid gold, a worrying surge in attacks on paramedics, a tourist arrested for doing Tokyo Drifts in a museum parking lot, and the weird, wild, and unbelievable stories that only Japan can deliver. Same news. Same host. Completely caffinated.

Reunited and running on pure madness, the boys crack open the beers and launch headfirst into another avalanche of Japan’s most bizarre, outrageous, and completely WTF news stories. This week’s insanity includes: 🐒 Two drunken tourists break into a zoo to “hang out” with a monkey 👋 A copycat serial slapper picks the absolute wrong house 💸 A female con artist gets scammed by another con artist and pays the price 🎰 A man vacuum-seals thousands of stolen toys to fuel his pachinko addiction …and that’s only the beginning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Supporting GOT FADED JAPAN ON PATREON directly supports keeping this show going and fueled with booze, seriously could you imagine the show sober??
