MOVING TO JAPAN TO BE A HOUSEHUSBAND?? | You Might Wanna Sit Down For This #Ep237

You know, some of us are living the life, moving to Japan, being the househusband and just enjoying everything. But is that really the dream? You might want to sit down for this.

Oi, sit down lah!

Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of You Might Want to Sit Down For This. Oh my gosh, today we reunite the fabled internet duo called the Fashion Week.

I don't know about fabled. I don't know about that.

If you guys have realised, it's a different setup today. Why? Don't ask questions. It's a podcast, so, you know, just listen. But I have a very lovely guest today on set. We have Arnold and Lucas. Round of applause!

Yeah! Woo!

For those who have no idea, let's just do this alphabetically, okay? Okay. Who are you? What do you do? And how do you all know each other?

Okay, so yeah, I'm Arnold and this is Lucas, and we used to host the Fashion Week podcast together. How long has it been dead now?

Bro, it's been dead like 2 years.

Yeah.

And you know what? People still listen to it. Thank you very much, Fatty McQuee.

That's great.

Yeah, we still get some DMs every now and then.

Come back, bring it back.

Very grateful for you guys. But at the moment, no plans for bringing it back.

Waiting for a takeaway table to buy us over. Acquisitions, baby.

I thought that's why we're here today.

Yeah, we're going to set up a Japan branch of Ah Neng.

That's the dream, man.

Not a bad one.

A good idea, right?

I mean—

You can buy all the Pokémon cards you want.

Oh, don't get me started right now.

Just do it.

Okay, okay. What about you? Who are you, Lucas? What do you do?

I'm Lucas. I'm half of the now dead Fashion Week podcast. I'm a creative, I guess you can call it that. But yeah, for right now I have no job.

Oh, hey, don't say this.

So you're now freelancing.

Sorry, I'm a consultant.

Freelance consultant.

Consultancy though. It does. Everything sounds better when you put consultant nowadays. Oh my goodness. Guys, today is a treat because I've been waiting so long to get these two people into a room for two separate reasons. But the main one is about a passion that binds us all here.

Money? Oh no.

Well, I would not argue with that. What binds us all today at the table is the fact that I think in some extent in our life, we do appreciate the culture of Japan. For, right? But at this time and point of time, Arnold has no choice. So to highlight the premise of what's going on today, I think the really crazy thing that has spurred or kind of set off this chain of events is that now Arnold, you live in Japan.

Yeah.

And people are discovering you as the famous househusband of Tokyo.

Malaysian househusband.

Malaysian househusband. Wah lau, bro, the dream. You just hear that sentence. Oh my God.

I'm sure we're going to deep dive into it, but it's really not the dream.

Okay.

Really started off as a joke.

So, yeah, I mean, so back to the very simple chronological. I got to know both of them definitely through the fashion week a bit more. And that time both of you are working in KL.

Yeah.

Lucas is still working in KL. Arnold, you are just radio DJ since—

Yeah, yeah. So I was with Hits FM for a long time. Yeah.

And then what happened, just to highlight the origin story of Japan, when, where, how long did it lead up to like, okay, now I'm going.

Okay, so yeah, this happened. So my wife was working here in KL for a law firm that was, it's a British law firm, right? They had an office set up here in KL. She was working there and Towards the end of 2023, they got word that they will be shutting the KL office and moving some of their associates overseas. Oh. Yeah. So long story short, she got posted in Tokyo.

Oh, okay.

Right?

Yeah.

So 2024 rolls around and she had to leave in April and go start a new life, a new work life in Tokyo. And she left 7 days after our wedding.

Yours should have just got married in Japan, bro.

I know, I know, right? Then you don't have to spend so much money.

Oh yeah, no friends there.

Money.

Money.

Okay, okay. Oh, sorry guys, sorry guys, sorry for disturbing. We love a bit of suspense, but guys, how do you throw yourself into a foreign country and not speak the language? How do you order food? How do you talk to people? How do you order Pokémon cards from for you and not get scammed. There's one way we know you'll never get scammed, and that's on WhatsApp with the two-step verification. Now, I don't know if you guys know this, but you can actually create your own unique PIN to access WhatsApp. And this is different from the 6-digit registration code you get on SMS or email. This is yours and yours alone, right? And scammers, they can't get in because when you activate the two-step verification, they need this PIN to get in your pants— I mean WhatsApp. Okay? Yes. Moving to a new country, difficult. Keeping safe and secure, simple. Now back to the episode. So, okay, so wow, she left a week after the wedding?

Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. So then we were doing long distance for about, you know, a good year. But we had already discussed it, you know, obviously when she got the job, it was a tough decision because she had to, you know, obviously uproot her life and move there, right? And, you know, what about me? At that point, I had already been working in radio for about 12 years. Your career is like really— Right. I mean, I was somewhere and I kind of built something for myself. But then ultimately I felt like, okay, maybe I can take this as a new challenge, right? Move to Tokyo, not knowing what was to come. But also I think more importantly, I didn't want her to miss out on this opportunity because I think it was a really good opportunity for her, like career-wise. So yeah, so we decided to— I said, give me one more year, you go first. I'll move in January 2025, which is what I did last. So I've been there 9 months now.

So she went first, scout a bit, just in case.

Just in case want to come back, right?

Oh my god.

For challenges, some people do HIROX, he moves to Japan.

I mean, this guy.

HIROX is a big thing now.

In Japan lah leh.

Is it in Japan as well?

I mean, even here, man.

Yeah. Can't tell, I never visited. The only gym I've been to is Pokémon Gym in Pokémon Yellow. So did you know about this?

I did, I did, I did, I did. And I told Arnold actually, you know, just go for it lah. I mean, If anybody can survive, it's Arnold Lo. Like he can make friends anywhere. He can survive anywhere. Just, you know, we were just talking like, what will you do though? What will you do for work? What will you do for money?

Yeah, so that brings us closer to today, right? So for everyone who has no idea, I'm going to try and bring up Arnold on the screen because now I'm truly just prepared for this. I'm so prepared for this. This is Arnold. Oh my gosh.

No, this is takeaway table.

This is takeaway table. I'm getting to him. There we go.

The magic of production, you won't see this.

With the magic of production, you will probably just be looking at both of them look at me for a while.

Cut away to Arnold's— to the editor, cut away to Arnold's—

Oh my god.

Allow the lights lah.

Wah lau, look at this.

Look at that Liberty Walk all. Guys, on—

I mean—

It looks a lot better on your screen actually. This looks so much better on your screen, dude.

So it's like basically Wow, Arnold, you have gone at it. You are more consistent than me, dude, posting content, bro.

Are you running also, man?

I am trying. I'm trying now. Yeah. So you were asking earlier. So obviously when I moved there, I had no job lined up. I had no career options lined up. And I was just thinking, last year in 2024, I visited my wife like maybe 3 times when she was— she already moved there. And I thought, okay, maybe I'll just try to make some content and see whether it works. Because right now it's such a hot time for tourism in Japan, right?

Especially with Malaysians. Record-breaking tourism numbers.

Right? Crazy. So everybody and their uncle wants to go to Japan because the yen is so weak. It is. It's like, you know, for the first time in many, many years, it's quite affordable, right?

Yeah.

So I thought maybe just do some like, you know, travel content and see where it goes. And yeah, so when I moved there, I actually like told myself and challenged myself, okay, let's Try to do this full-time and see whether it works out or not. And yeah, so from January onwards, I tried to be consistent, you know, obviously talking to, you know, creators like you.

Nah, man.

I even like talked to like Ginny Boy and, you know, everyone's like offering me advice, which was really helpful, right?

Man.

And just trying to do, you know, I guess cover my life, like what I do in Japan, right? I mean, as a househusband, you know.

Talk about having the ideal time to be in in Japan every single day.

Yeah, yeah.

It's really you, bro. I don't know what to say. Yeah, yeah. So I guess what led up to it was you basically, I mean, Lucas, feel free to just wag anytime, right? But it was the whole process of most people don't really get this setup where it's usually my guy friends who need to move to a place.

Yes.

And then the wives or the partners move over as well. You really just, okay, you know what, let's do it lah, I'm going there. What was your plan for day zero?

Honestly, I didn't really have a solid plan. I was just like, okay, we'll go there. Okay, look, first of all, I'm very fortunate in this situation. Of course, like my wife's work takes care of a lot of things like rent and stuff. I know a lot of people are wondering, wah, don't work lah, how you pay rent? You know, like.

Hey man, tai tai life, bro, this one, the dream.

So it is pretty much that way. So I thought, okay, if I could try to build like a social media thing, and see what comes of it, then that could maybe be my career, my new sort of career.

Or you really embrace the social media creator life.

Fucking KOL right now, man. Straight up Japanese Malaysian KOL.

I will tell you this though, I feel like, wow, so much respect for creators out there who do it full time because this is hard, man.

Tiring.

The grind is a grind. Yeah.

Every day wake up, okay, now what?

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

It really is that. Yeah. And then like with the pressure of After a while, you get so caught up with the numbers and the pressure and how do I top yesterday's video? How do I top the last video? You know, like it really messes with you. Yeah, yeah. It's what I've learned anyway. I mean, I still have fun doing it. After a while, I told myself, you know what, just don't worry about the numbers. Just keep doing what you're doing and like just have fun with it.

I think if anything, the numbers will come, right?

I mean, I argue that we live in an era now as compared to when we started out it is the easiest time to blow up online. It is no longer hard to go viral or to like actually get numbers. It's more of like the barrier of entry has dropped because everyone likes watching stuff now. And the algorithms are a bit funny now, you know, where you really just need to pump the numbers enough, you really will make it one. Not to say that, you know, it's easy for everyone. I take it back that one. But it's really like, if you do what you do well, you will really be able to get numbers going for you and audience coming and everything. But yeah, I don't know why I'm clicking. So please forgive me, sir. What come out? Non-halal stuff, bro. Sorry to those who are watching. So macham tu lah. Let me try and put it back.

Okay.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're back, we're back. Okay. So what really stood out was the fact that you went there basically with no plans, nothing. You just knew that, okay, my wife go, I don't do the LDR thing. We go and join it there. What was the first 3 months like? So it's because we really have a proper window into all of the locals saying, "Wow, bro, if only I could stay in Japan, bro. If only this holiday never end." Yeah, I get that.

I get that.

How was the first week to the first month to the—

I think the first, honestly, the first 2 months felt like a long holiday. It was like a sabbatical.

Because you were on radio DJ grind for as long as I can remember.

Right, right. So, you know, I used to do morning show. My routine was like, every day I have to get up at 4:30 AM and to get to the studio by 6:00 AM to do the show. So, you know, you don't really have a normal person's schedule. And when I moved to Japan, I didn't have to do that anymore. And like, I could finally sort of like live like a normal person, like wake up at 9:00 AM when my wife goes to work, you know. I'll just get her breakfast, send her off to work, and then my biggest decision for the day is, "What do I watch on TV today?" You know what I mean?

I'm scrolling. Old master. Old master.

After breakfast, maybe I'll do some chores, right? I'll do some laundry.

Just some laundry. Clean the house.

Vacuum the floor.

Wash my underwear.

And I'll go and get lunch or whatever. Sit down in front of the TV and I'm like, "Oh my god, what do I watch today?

What series should I start?" Man, I think you stop talking.

I didn't expect this episode to piss me off. So wow, because that's crazy. You literally went from the 4:30 AM to tourist in perpetuity.

Yeah, exactly.

Infinity mode tourist, which is insane because it's not just about like, you know, if you're a tourist there, you also have to worry about things like, oh, I can't pay for a hotel room every single night. Cap, right? There's a cap there. My clothes, not enough. There's a cap. We can't go so far because we need to come back to the hotel. No, not for you. You can do whatever you want. So like, I feel the really interesting dystopia that you entered was the quote unquote dream life for a lot of people who love the country.

Right.

All right. Lucas, you've been to Japan.

Yeah.

Do you like Japan?

I love Japan, but I was never under that idea that I want to live here, you know. At the end of like, let's just say a 2-week trip, right?

Yeah.

I will always feel, oh, I'm done.

The pang's the company.

Yeah, I'm done already. Like, I can come back. I want to eat chilli. I want to eat flavourful food.

For sure.

I'm not saying Japanese food is bad.

Yeah, yeah. Different flavour.

I love Japanese food.

Different flavour.

But when I come back, it's always curry with the chilli sauce or like curry or something like which will punch me in the face with flavour.

You're going back to Monroe Road or something. Why are you going to say this now?

I know lah, because You know, he's living the life, right? So you got to have something over him, you know. Good char siu in New York or not in Japan?

Oh my God, it's very different.

You suddenly learn how to make it, right? You might change life there, man.

Open Malaysian restaurant, you know.

Paris always— You want to invest or not in—

I'm all for it, bro. You helping me bring some Pokémon back, I'm all for everything, bruh. It's mad, dude. And I think I want to say this all started from the fact that When it comes to Pokémon, I'm damn thick-faced one. Someone told me, no, you told me Arnold's in Japan. And like, hey, hit him up. He'll buy Pokémon for you. I'm like, say less, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you went from the whole, I guess, like what you said, we know there's an end to the holiday coming back. When you started to get things going there.

Yeah.

This is a really weird set of questions we never get to ask anyone. Yeah. Easy to make friends in Japan.

So I will say that it's not. And you know, one of the biggest challenges, even until today, is the language barrier. The language barrier, once you move to Japan, you'll realise that it's so apparent and it's such a big factor in your everyday life, right? And I'll give you an example, right? So when I first moved there, obviously I still felt like it was a holiday, right? Yeah, yeah. And you know, yeah, right? And you feel like it's a holiday, oh, you know, this is going to end, it's okay lah, I don't need to learn Japanese lah, what for?

Go.

But I know, dude, after 3 months, then you start realising how important it is to know some of the language. Because simple things like going to buy shampoo or like you're going to like a Watson's equivalent to buy your daily toiletries, right? Everything is in Japanese.

Bro, shampoo is just shampoo.

I know, but they have different brands. There's so many, bro.

I know, bro.

I bet. The signage and everything is in Japanese. So you have to whip out your Google Translate. Just simple things like that.

I'm going to put it out there. Before Arnold left, I gave him 4 Japanese textbooks. I said, "Bro, these are the easiest textbooks to learn Japanese." I gave him Genki Part 1 and 2. I said, "If you do this, you will be equipped decently enough to read and have a decent conversation." Arnold, please tell us, how much of the book have you read?

Oh, the very top.

No, no, trust me. And I really appreciate that. I actually have gone through them. Look, I will say this, at 40 years old, right? The last thing you want to do is sit down and write characters over and over again repeatedly. That is tough, man.

Hey man, welcome to the real world, bro.

I got to say right now, I got to do that with my kid because, hey man, I don't know, you all are blessed. I got to do that for Malay, Chinese, and math now to help her out. But I mean, yeah, it does go from something, right? Because I can fall back on the point where I can just flip out the Google Translate. But you got to face your neighbours, you got to face the people in the stores.

You got to go to town hall.

So going back to your question earlier, we were quite lucky. When I went there, I had already made 2 friends through my brother. They're American-Japanese. So look, I mean, let's be real, it's going to be hard to make friends with like Japanese-Japanese people who don't really speak English. So you're going to be kind of stuck around like sort of like expat bubble. And through them, you meet other people.

People. Okay.

Yeah. So the people that I've met in Japan, they have been living there, you know, more than 10 years for some. And they speak both English and Japanese. Recently met this guy as well. He's from Subang. His name is Roy. He's been there since after high school.

Yeah.

Shout out Roy.

He's been living there since after high school. And like, it's so crazy, right? Meeting another Malaysian and this dude obviously speaks, reads, writes Japanese.

Fluent.

Yeah.

Yeah. He's like a local, you know? So it's just like, Looking at that, it's kind of inspiring, but with like a bit of envy as well. It's like, you know, will I ever get to your level of language?

No, chances are you won't.

If you do the math, by 60, right? Oh my gosh. So that's the strat, the strat is to find the kind of like expat, turn PR people here.

Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It really helps.

How is the neighborhood you are at? What are the stories like? What is one thing that stood out to you when you moved in?

Oh, if you're angry just now, wait till you hear this.

I can't wait to get more angry, bro.

Okay, I live in a— The neighbourhood that I live in is not really like a residential neighbourhood. Sure, there are some residents around. It's a very shopping area.

Yeah, business area.

Yeah, so the building that we live in— Lucas is waiting.

I'm not doxxing me and Arno. I'll tell you after. After the show, where he lives.

I don't want to be going off later.

So the building that we live in as well is an old apartment building, but it's kind of like a soho. We are the only residences in there. The rest of the building are offices throughout the day. So it's like apartment units, right? But people use them as offices.

So your wife really had a great arrangement?

Yeah.

Wow.

What a package.

What a package though.

What a package.

Look, look, that one I don't know.

Shut up, man.

I don't ask. I just enjoy only.

Equality!

House husband!

Thank you, wife.

So it's a nice SoHo, basically.

From the outside, it's like a building that was built in the '80s, so it's quite old. But I mean, it's decent in size, it's not too small and all that, so it's okay. But the great thing is at night, we have no neighbours, right? So we can watch TV however loud I want to.

Oh, seriously? Right, because everyone's home.

Yeah.

Wow, man, what a life. What a life. Because it's a thing, right? In Japan, you just have to be quiet. Like we took the family for a holiday and we have to remind the kids when we just push the stroller out of the entrance of the house, right? Like, shh. Because people will complain one. Like straight up will complain. Even though you're next to like a primary school. Yeah, man. It's unreal like that.

The rules, right? You learn very fast that rules.

Let's give you some.

Rules and rules and rules. And like you really have to abide by the rules, right? You know, you want to live there and be part of society there. You have to play ball, right? So one of the things that really annoys the both of us is throwing rubbish.

I was just going to say.

Dumping garbage.

Things that usually as a tourist, we don't really care. Because the Airbnb will probably leave some instructions.

They'll sort out the burnables.

That's it, right?

So what's the deal with the rubbish for you? So our apartment, so how it works is, right, our apartment building, the management office gives you a bag of trash bags to use every month. They slip it in your mailbox.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. So they provide that, right? The management office. And you know, this is so ridiculous. Wow. So you cannot use any other, like any plastic bag that you get from Family Mart or whatever. You have to use those specific blue bags.

You can't use Kapow bag.

Cannot simply use.

It's given.

Yeah, the specific bags that they provide, you have to use those, right? And on top of that, yes, you have to separate your combustibles and incombustibles. So like, you know, plastics and then like, you know, I don't know, paper or whatever, right?

Okay.

And whatever boxes you get from like Amazon, like all your Shopee shopping and all that, you flatten the boxes lah. If not, they won't take it. You have to flatten them and put it in the garbage properly, like in a nice order, in order for them to take it.

Wow.

Yeah.

Okay.

So the rules will really get to you. I mean, yes, it's a great thing. That's why it keeps the country clean and keeps the place clean and stuff.

It's the cost of the society.

But you know, as Malaysians, wah, my Shopee box, I just throw only. Don't need to like fold, right? So it's like, sometimes I feel like, oh my God, this is like 3 minutes of my day that I'm not going to get back.

Well, you have plenty of other minutes, you know, while you're deciding What show to watch?

I'm busy, bro.

What other culture shock did you get, if any, I guess, as compared to like, if we're just breezing in and out of the city? Did anything else like really hit you?

Yeah. Okay, so a few things that like, I may not agree with, but okay, whatever. Eating on the street when you're walking. Yeah.

Yeah, why ah?

You're not allowed to eat on the street.

I know, that's why I tell my whole team also, don't take your coffee out and walk, walk, walk and drink at the side, right? What's the deal with this?

I don't know, but some people tell me, or maybe they're just more conscious about like if you spill on the street or whatever, you know, messing up. Yeah. You know, and then you see, I don't know, like ketchup on the floor or on the ground and stuff. So it's more of a— I feel like some— this is not a fact. I don't know if it's actually factual, but someone told me it's more about cleanliness, right? Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

So I was actually standing once in front of like an office building lobby eating my onigiri and the guard told me off. Like, oh, you cannot eat here, you can't stand here and eat. So like—

Then eat where?

I guess you got to stand in front of the konbini.

Yeah, yeah.

Dodge like crazy.

I think it's because also that if you're walking around, because Japan is infamous for not having a lot of garbage cans. So when you're walking around, you have your onigiri wrapper and then you're like, okay, I'm done. Onigiri was delicious. Where do I throw it? So you are tempted, you know, Japanese people are not giving you that option to be tempted to throw it on the floor. The litter, right?

Can't speak on behalf of many Malaysians, but you just throw it anyway.

I end up throwing it in my bag. My bag becomes a rubbish bag.

Because recently there was a video that went viral on TikTok that I think a foreigner was eating, sitting beside the roadside outside a convenience store eating. And a nearby, I guess there was a resident, called the police on the resident.

Oh my god.

So she videotaped it and you can see that the police also is being very like, I'm so sorry. Hey, I'm so sorry, but you cannot do this. And you get fined for eating beside the street, I think.

I don't know.

That was basically the premise of the whole video.

That's crazy.

Straight to jail.

I'm not sure about the jail, but yeah, the whole— I think if you haven't been to Japan before, you will really notice the lack of rubbish bins everywhere and anywhere.

But the ironic thing, right? The ironic thing of that, right? So they don't have rubbish bins. Everything's very clean. But have you ever been to Shibuya after 12 o'clock? People are sprawled on the street. They have a whole page called Shibuya Meltdown with salarymen on the floor, like vomiting on themselves.

You should pull it up.

Shibuya Meltdown. No, no, no. We didn't prepare that. We didn't prepare that.

No.

I guess it really gives a different meaning to sampang masarakat, right?

Oh, that's the late.

I love Japan.

Safe, safe, safe. I don't know. I think at a certain point, this whole episode was— there were so many different facets of it because with the recent drop in yen, a lot of people, dude, they're just flooding into Japan for tourists. Like we were just mentioning a bit earlier, last year it was the record number of tourists in Japan. I think this year won't be far off. And it's gotten to a point where so many things are changing in Japan. Japan as a foreigner as well. Recently, it was on the news, was they signed deals with other countries to import foreign manpower.

Yeah, immigration.

Yeah, there's just not enough people.

Yeah.

Do you, I mean, you've only been there for like maybe 9 months.

Yeah.

Do you feel anything as a foreigner in Japan or you live in a place where it's like pretty much kind of chill?

You definitely feel, so when I came back for the first time this, these past few weeks, right? Someone asked me, does it still feel foreign to you? And the answer is yes, you definitely, it definitely feels foreign to you because as long as you don't speak the language, you are. And you know, in Japan, and I mean, I don't say this with spite, but the Japanese culture is so insular, right? That they definitely make you feel like an outsider. Right. You know, they're not, they're very polite and kind people, but yeah, but you know what? Yeah. It's that face value and like, you know, they still feel like, oh, if you're not Japanese, you're not Japanese.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, even if you're half.

You know, they have the term hafu. So even if you're half, you are not considered Japanese Japanese.

That's true. I have one friend who lives there. Her perk is that she looks extremely Japanese and she is an English teacher. So she blend in from day one and she has such a different set of experiences because she's like a really small, short girl, but she like indistinguishable.

Yeah.

But her experience there is because I guess when you're in the education industry, she works with kids and everything, right? It's a very different life. Just that, I don't know, because you literally are carving your own career again. Her issue is that a lot of foreigners like who want to go and live in Japan, one of the only options is to become a language teacher.

Yeah.

But they don't realize that that's all they allow you to do until you can prove you are fluent in the language, like both reading, writing, speaking, everything, right? How?

Okay, I guess I'm not going to lie. I actually, the past few months I've been applying to be an English teacher as well.

Also? Oh, okay.

Because only because I feel like it's—

Can, right?

I want to do something more stable. I mean, of course I still do social media and stuff, but like, I just want to have something more stable. And so also like, you know, if I get to do this, I get to learn from the students as well, right? So yeah, I've been applying to be an English teacher and it's actually quite an unspoken, unspokenly, if that's a word, it's quite a frowned upon job. For foreigners because it's a very typical foreigner job. Yeah, yeah, typical foreigner job.

What else are you allowed to do at some point, right?

I must say, right, one thing about Arnold, we give him crap for having the best life, but actually Arnold is doing things hard mode, bro.

You are?

Like he is doing things at extreme lethal difficulty hard mode. Going there, nothing. I'm just going to be a content creator. Just put things out. But I got to say, Arnold, congratulations. Like I've really kept up with your content there and I must say it's entertaining. People are asking me, asking me, "Eh, your that friend, ah no, now how husband lah?" People in Malaysia are seeing it and I really hope that it's just not just Malaysia, maybe expat community in Japan.

You are starting conversations for the husbands of the world.

I must say, I'm really very, I'm actually surprised that you are so consistent, bro.

Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, I don't have anything to do, so the hard part is—

I'm out of here, guys.

Really, the hard part is to try to stay consistent because like Ming Han said earlier, right? What now?

What next?

How do I top yesterday's thing?

I don't know how you do it. I think to a certain point, the questions, I mean, also they lean more forward to like exactly what you said. You really, I mean, face value, people see like, wow, this is cool. I wish I could live like this. But you are there. You literally went from 100 to 0, 0 to 100 kind of thing. You don't speak the language. Your only plan was to follow your wife. Yeah, and you left a career. It's very similar to what one, I mean, if people watch the podcast, we have a friend and a teammate called Brian. He's the guy who I started the studio with like 15 years ago.

Right, right.

His wife is in the medical line. So she moved to Perth to further her career. And it's not a move where you can just move back and work here. When you go to Perth as a doctor, you have to get all the, you know, What do they call those? The qualifications in Australia. So once you do that, you have to work there because if you come back here, different set of rules, different set of things, you start again. And he took the leap to like really, hey man, we've done this 15 years. I follow my wife now.

I'm out.

I'm out literally. And even at that degree, it's already difficult to go to a place where you speak English. But you are in a place where people speak English maybe 10% of the time. Yeah. Taking a step back now, right, wah, how was your thought process? Did you have to amp yourself up, prepare yourself mentally? Like, what's the unfun part about getting ready to go and do this?

The unfun part is, which I still am dealing with almost every day. Unfunness.

Yeah.

You know, because of the language barrier, right? You sometimes feel like, okay, Okay, it's troublesome to them and it's troublesome for you. So sometimes I'll stand outside, I'll go to like a restaurant and I'll, oh, maybe I should try this today. I'll stand outside the restaurant for a while. Then in my head, like I'll play the next 1 minute of what's going to happen. I walk in, I'm going to try to communicate with the person. They're not going to understand. I'm also not going to understand. Then I'm like creating trouble for both of us already. And then there's a line of people waiting behind me. And I'm like, you know what? Screw it, I'll go Family Mart. Or I just go to another restaurant that I'm familiar with, you know what I mean?

You should just print out call cards at some point.

You need these, you know, like those phrase guides.

Yeah.

Really, really, really.

But I mean, now having been there for 9 months, I picked up a lot of more basic phrases, more survival Japanese. So I know I can navigate my way around a restaurant. You know, like I can say, 3 people, 4 people, you know, I can order stuff. So that's good already, you know, I think it's a good start, you know.

So what's 2 people?

2 people is Futari.

I thought that's a furniture brand, bro. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh my gosh, man. Because, you know, a lot of people, I think in this day and age, right, when it comes to the social media thing, like online things, or when it comes to expectations of where you're supposed to be in life, not trying to I don't want to get this into a deep conversation.

No, get into it.

Because, you know, people say like, is it too late to start again? You were not really forced to do it. You had a very interesting spin on that option. Because people, I guess, where they go into, you had a career where basically people say Arnold Low, I know exactly who you are, what you do. It's not like willy-nilly, I can just change. No, you've established like a certain thing. A lot of people these days, they worry about like, "Oh, I'm mid-30s, I'm mid-40s. It's too late lah, I just continue doing what I want to do." But not for you, man. You literally embrace, "I'm a house husband in Tokyo now, bro." And instead of sitting down and doing proper work, I'm making videos every single day.

I think it helps that Arnold is funny as hell.

Also that, you know, I think the personality helps.

So bloody funny.

I try, I try. But you know, it's good that you brought that up. I think it's very interesting that A lot of people, like you said, right? The general consensus is that, yeah, most of the time the woman follows the husband overseas or whatever. So this is really flipping the script.

You so flipped, man.

Right, it's flipping the script. And I think that it shouldn't be frowned upon or like, even though I, you know, sometimes I talk to people and friends or whatever, and you still get that hint of, you know, especially when I came back this time, right? People were like, oh, how's it? "Wow, so how's life in Japan?" You get the hint of sympathy, one, and also, or some bit of condescension, you know what I mean? Like, it kind of makes you feel a certain way, but I'm just like, it's fine. Like, you know, eventually something will happen and like, you know, I'm still like trying to work my way through it.

Yeah, I think people see your content and say like, "Wow, so lucky you can do this." No, that's not luck, man. That's effort every morning you wake up. Man. But yeah, it's a very big spin on like, because I mean, Lucas, so we talk a lot about, hey, how's work? What are you doing now? And when you get stuck in the grind for so long, right, you feel like, shucks, if I don't continue this now, I got to start again from whatever it is. Dude, you took it to like, like he said, like, this is hell mode, really. This is like, you know, veteran on COD or Battlefield 4 mode. Like what, I guess, What really helps you do what you do? Is there and was there like, is it your relationship, your communication with your wife? Is it really something that you just have inside and you don't worry about stuff and you just go for it? What, in a very funny way, what helped you through this transition, do the transition? You make it look very fun, bro. I think the best part is you're very lighthearted. You just take things as they come, right? But some people would go through this life change and it's like, my world is ending, I need to start a new world. And there's a different perspective going into something like this. What would you say would be your tips or tricks? No, that's a very funny way to put it. What was your catch or your secret or what really helped you figure this out?

I don't think I've got it figured out yet, to be honest. I'm still trying to figure it out, right? I think I guess I'm very open-minded in a sense where I don't need to feel like, I think a lot of men will definitely, and I know some, a lot of men definitely have that ego where, oh, you know, I'm a provider, I need to provide for my family.

I need to provide. Yeah, also that too. We didn't even talk about that.

Yeah. And I definitely feel that as well. I used to be, you know, I always want to provide, you know, even though I don't have kids or whatever, which actually helps this situation a lot.

Yeah.

If you are going to be a househusband, don't have kids.

Please don't have kids.

Don't have kids, okay? But yeah, so I felt like if I, you know, to flip this script, it would be a good thing. And also I'm not really egotistical in that sense where I need to feel like, oh, I'm the sole provider because I don't feel like I need to be. And look, I'm happy for my wife and I'm cheering her on because she's doing so well.

Which is great.

Yeah. And what she does, right? I know she's really good at what she does. She's very sought after, so I didn't want to prevent this opportunity for her from happening.

Yeah, man, I tell my wife that every day.

What a man.

I tell her, let me take care of the kids, man. You go work, I'm cool with it.

It doesn't work.

It doesn't work. But sure, at the same time, don't get me wrong, I miss radio, I miss doing what I do here. I miss my life here for sure. It's hard starting again at 40 years old. I just turned 40 this year, right? It's hard to start again.

Congrats. Thanks.

You know, but I feel like in this day and age, 40 is like, when our parents were 40, it felt like they were old.

They looked old too. Yeah, they looked old too.

They dressed old. But I think now, you know, it's a very different time. And I think like, you know, 40 is like still, you can still start something, right?

Yeah, yeah.

40 is the new 30, honestly speaking.

Yeah, I think the meme part of it was some people comparing the boomer generation and the millennial generation. And they were like 30 and 30 years old, right? The boomer 30 looked like a 60.

60-year-old.

Something changed.

Another 30 years old, we collect Popmart. Yeah, correct.

We're still lining up with the kids for toys.

No, you're right, dude. Popmart is maybe like 15 minutes away from where I live.

Oh man, you look at this guy living next to anything.

Horrible, right?

Horrible, right?

Every morning at 7:30 AM, the queue already starts. The store only opens at like 11, you know?

In Japan, is that it?

People queue up at 7:30 AM. It's mad.

Grab your egg sandwich and just jump into the line, bro.

Yeah.

You got nothing to lose. If I were you, right? Every day is an adventure for me, bro. What la bubu can I get today? I don't even know. I'm just buying whatever the guy in front of me is buying, you know? Yeah.

Sorry, we digress. But yeah, is it still, you know, are la bubu still doing well?

I have no idea.

I don't think so. I don't think so.

If anyone, let's ask Lucas. Because this joker, can I just, we're going to side note, side quest a bit on this topic. Stop it, okay?

Stop it lah.

All I did was buy my 5-year-old daughter a Shiba Inu figurine. Okay? All I did was make a video with her opening it. This guy watched it once and went from owning nothing to, "I wish we can put a photo of it to a whole museum of figurines in his—" Wow! The next time I say, hey bro, got another Shibu set come out. Yeah bro, he took a picture. He has everything.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah. So why don't we—

It's called adult money.

You're going to show us some pictures?

Yeah, I'll send out some pictures to put it out for you guys.

But is it doing well?

I think in general, right, Popmart as a whole, right? I think the trend might be— Okay, so we will talk a little bit about industry as well. Let's sidetrack into this. Because everybody baby and their mother wants to do a plushie. Look, Zeus did a plushie, did so well.

Charjee did a plushie, did so well. I just collected up Aydan Kopitiam plushies.

Yeah, Aydan Kopitiam. Even my clients also. Even my clients did, like QLX. Shout out QLX. We did a plushie and it did crazy well.

People like it.

They know, they love it. Yeah. But I think the bubble will burst. Yeah. The bubble for Labubu has burst. Because why? It was so sought after for so long. People are used to paying $150, $180. Now you can get it on shelf, $80. Yeah. And everyone has it. And even the fake la bubus, you know, people are still buying it.

People wearing it.

Only so many people don't. With la bubus in this world.

Then what are these people queuing up for still? I don't know.

Hey man, that's your next video. You should do man on the street.

Excuse me, what are you queuing up for? No English. No English.

The people queuing up are all tourists, obviously, right? And I think a lot of—

You don't know that, man? I mean, bro, you should really interview all that.

Look, man, if they're brown, they're not from Tokyo, right?

Hey, I'm sorry. That's what we are talking about here every day. You never know these days, bro.

That's true, that's true.

But no, I think in terms of collectibles, your side quest is you were thrown smack into one of the meccas of collectibles. Yeah. And I, in a sense, I was really excited for the fact that you will be exposed to it every day at a very good entry point because now the whole world just wants Japanese stuff. And the funny part is the Japanese don't want anything from the whole world. So they are struggling.

They want the whole world to stop coming.

They really do. Just stop, man. Because it went from a time where we could go to the, for example, I'm going to, I'm not going to, I'm going to try my best not to spin off this. You just go to the Pokémon Center in Tokyo and you can grab a box because it's what Pokémon Centers do.

Now you can't even beat the queue for the Pokémon Center.

You got to take a paper at the side and hope for a few packs at the cashier because people are stealing the boxes off the shelves. It's like crack.

Yeah, it's like, please sir, give me a pack.

At some places, right, they have to interview you to ask you what your favorite Pokémon is because the scalpers are coming in.

Yeah. The answer is not Pikachu. Yeah, for everything, dude.

And you are right there, bro. I tell you, if you can hook up some Meta glasses, we get on Discord, it's going to be a great time, man.

Seriously. Yeah, I guess I just need to educate myself a little bit first on like, you know, then I can be one of those scalpers.

No, it's because it falls in so great with what you guys do. You're part of the fashion week, the sneaker world, the fashion world, right? All your gaki now in the collectible world. Yeah, I know. It's a bit wild.

But do you feel, I mean, to go into that, do you feel you've outgrown sneaker culture?

Oh yeah, I think 100%. I don't really, I don't lust. So like, you know, the interesting thing about living in Tokyo is that everything is at your fingertips. Yeah, man. Just like Pokémon and stuff, right? Sneakers there. Yeah, everything is at your fingertips. But I think I've definitely outgrown it because you don't have the same, like you don't lust for it anymore.

You heard it here first, you heard it here first. Yeah, yeah.

Because I remember when I went for your podcast, guys, Sneaker wall at the back.

Our friend Lucas lah, our friend Lucas. To be honest with you, I have only bought one pair of sneakers in the last 2 years, maybe one pair, one year. It doesn't, it just doesn't hit the same anymore. I'm 40, I turned 40. I'm like, I don't wear, I don't go, I actually just go and try and support our friends' brands. I was going to say that.

I turned 40 now, I don't wear pants at home anymore.

You know, Shawnee's Bodega. Shawnee's Bodega. I know Graham is a big fan of of joining the podcast. Yeah, he's been wearing that shirt.

No, we have our resident hypebeast is Ryan over here. Is he not? He ran away already. This one is not lust, bro. It's a lifestyle, bro, for him. He comes in with shoes that cost more than people's cars sometimes.

Ryan, what are you doing with your life, dude?

Whatever he's doing it right, man. I'm like, damn, we pay that much?

We were like that before.

So I think there's a lot of hidden gems in this podcast today. 'Cause right next to where you are in your life in Japan and everything is really where you guys were in terms of like your passion and your culture for your podcast as well, right? Yeah. It's in a different stage of life in different what, what do you guys feel is going on with all these hypebeasts and sneakers and now, and really now, with all respect as well, in KL right now, Nigel is making work. Oh yeah. TCC. Yeah. So the Cap City, he went from, from no one cares about Kaps to like people swarm and riot for him when he goes—

Yeah, making fakes of his Kaps.

Yeah, man, that's what the latest one was there also. Like, has it really changed from where you guys— because you guys were avid sneakerheads, avid streetwear, you know, where is it now?

I mean, safe to say we've passed the torch, lah. We passed the torch to the next generation. I mean, we didn't do it. I would like to say we did, did a little bit for the culture, a little bit lah, you know, to contribute to the culture.

Oh, the podcast, your guys' podcast last time also.

I mean, yeah lah, fashion but not really fashion. And I would like to, I would say that people are doing amazingly well lah. I mean, look at Sean and Against Lab, he's doing amazing. Yeah, yeah. Future Made Studio.

Keeping the Malaysian streetwear.

And these are brands which were around and we were buying and wearing and we had them on our pod And Nigel, Nigel is, I've had it on record and I will say that is one of my favourite episodes in our 95-episode catalogue. Nigel was one of those who, when you sit down and talk to him, you knew this guy, you know, like he knew he's got it. He's so smart. And you know what? He's kind. Yeah. He's super kind.

Yeah.

If there's anything like that, if there's anyone who I want to succeed in life, it's these guys. Yeah.

I don't know about you guys, but my my small encounters in the street fashion hype one, right? A lot of people work off hype and a lot of people, I guess I can't really get a feel on the person I'm talking to. But when I, when, because I do remember I really watched Nigel on TikTok. So this was when most of the scene wasn't on TikTok yet. And I watched his livestream and he hustles for hours a day, right? You can tell there's something different about this guy because he just really He got all or nothing. And when I met him in person, it's really like that one. He's like that one. So like the fashion world, the street world now has turned into this. Even on Brian Chin Sai, shout out. Asasak. Sneaker lah is becoming la la land this year, which is insane because the uptake of different collectibles and hobbies. He had e-games into Sikala as well, right? For you guys now, where are your collections and what are you going to do about them next?

I also think it comes with, I mean, for me anyway, I think it comes with age. As you get older, maybe your style changes a little bit. You don't want to wear stuff that's too loud anymore. Honestly, sometimes I look at fashion these days and I don't want to look like a 20-year-old TikTok influencer. Don't talk about that, man. Stop it. But your videos might pop though.

That's true.

That's true. But you know, I guess for me it's just like, yeah, not to say, oh, when you turn 40, you have to dress older or whatever, but you know, you still like the streetwear stuff or whatever you used to like, but in a more, like the more mature stuff, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, good segue. Shout out to Personal Moda. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rebranded recently, you know, with the new rebrand.

Finally some things coming out again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Must have been so quiet for so long. Right, right, right. And you were a big part of PMC, dude. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. PM now, okay? PM, sorry.

My bad. So go check it out.

out. Soon. A new collection coming out very soon.

Look at that. This one, this one. So basically what you're telling me is we all have to transition one day. They're all old la from basically Adidas to chrome hearts. La, right?

No, no, no, that's not all. No, no, no, guys, do not buy chrome hearts, okay? I'm sorry, but if you don't have the means, don't freaking buy chrome hearts. Yeah. So crazy, man. Nuts. You know the hype for Chrome Hearts, right? Like I was wearing Chrome Hearts long time ago. I have the rings and stuff, but like when I bought it, it was like cheap. It was cheap. Like now I can command double or triple the price I paid for it. You should put a safety deposit box now.

No, I should sell it, bro.

I don't wear that anymore. It's not me. Look at what I'm wearing.

I'm wearing— I can see the Chrome Hearts here.

I'm wearing Uniqlo. No, no, no, no, no. It's from Japan. It's from Japan. It's from Japan.

But you see how you ask what happened to your collections, right? I just want to know what happened to your collection.

Because like you said, right, you matured your taste.

I sold a lot of my stuff.

Okay, you sold a lot of your stuff. Yeah, I sold a lot of my stuff. Did your, how would I say, as a collector, right, did your urge or did your focus go into something else? Yeah, experiences.

Yeah, I would say that. Yeah, I will not think twice about spending money on, you know, to travel or going somewhere or an experience. Yeah, that's true. And yeah, but like asking me to spend like RM500 on a t-shirt, that's absolutely crazy. Or not, like, you know.

Well damn, I should have gone to Undefeated that day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bought an Undefeated jersey. I'm like, hey, shout out Ying.

The t-shirt is RM500? No, it's RM350.

Oh, okay, okay. RM299. I bought a jersey, like, it was quite nice. Just to support the homie, right?

I mean, if you're going to buy the collab one with the athlete, maybe. But the basic one, ones. No lah, but it's also the same lah. I feel like for certain streetwear, which is very simple, the designs, like I personally, we visited a few stores when we went to Osaka. Yeah, it's nice to buy lah. It's not loud. For sure. Yeah. I'm not having like a blazing rainbow ball in front and the back.

Blazing rainbow ball. That's a brand idea, guys. Blazing rainbow ball.

Oh my gosh. No, my current streetwear brand is called Mother Dog. So if you guys—

Mother Dog.

Mother Dog. Mother Dog. Yeah, we had a streetwear launch here and everything for my birthday.

Yeah. Yeah, I saw that.

It was quite funny. I guess the experience is now, and wow, really full circle also, you're in a place where we can vicariously live your life through your content.

To answer your question, I mean, earlier, my collection, I—

Don't lie, because I know you're a spider.

It's still there, but I do intend to either donate or to sell. Because like, to be honest with you, if I want to look at and liquidate my collection, I won't get much. It's very hard to sell whatever I have now. So like, whenever there's something that that allows me to donate, I'll donate. You know, I definitely want to downsize because I'm done with having a wall of sneakers.

So you're going to take it to Kacara Soup Kitchen and like, and drink soup from it?

Not soup kitchen, brother.

You see this guy walking with soup bag of cakes like that.

Sorry.

Go and get some shoes with your meal.

I've been doing this for a while though, like, because even when I was with PMC, we did something with Street Feeder KL, right? I donated like 20 pairs of shoes, you know, and it was some were brand new. And I think I was like, why not let someone else enjoy it rather than, you know, have it sit in my thing, right? But collections-wise, I've definitely moved on. So it's not so much of a collection anymore. It's more obsessions.

I would say obsession fits exactly how you buy your stuff now.

I do a lot of coffee now. I think I drink a lot more coffee at home. But other than that, you know what I'm doing now? Gundam, dude. Oh no. I am doing Gundam model kits. Another thing that Japan is known for. Oh man. You know what? Honestly, it is cathartic. It's therapeutic. You sit down for hours just making a small miniature robot leg. Man. Look the best, look like the best small miniature robot leg you can ever make it look.

I'm in a way excited for the hole you're about to spiral down into.

Oh, too late, bro. Let me send you a picture.

Oh my God. I just got one question. You got airbrush already? No, no, no, no, no.

Okay, haven't got to now. I'm not artistic enough to do that.

No, you don't have to.

I don't have enough space.

Oh, that's what they all say. When you sell out your collection, you have space after that. No, no, no, no, no. Oh my gosh. Okay, so we are getting to about time because we don't do 2-hour episodes. Yeah. Boo, boo. Maybe for the, I guess, to wrap the episode up, because this whole thing was to really just dive in the experience of the what if you really could just stay back in your holiday, which is your life right now. What would you say to people who have this, I guess, there's so many questions to end with, but what would you say to people who are like, oh, I really want to move out and start life here, and now you are doing it. It. Yeah. What's the best thing that you can share from your experience so far?

I mean, if it's Japan or a country where they don't really speak English, then I say— I would say have a plan or learn the language beforehand, at least some. At least the language, at least some, you know, right? Definitely really helps with your transition, right? Um, and because I'm really— I'm dealing with that now. I've been dealing that for the, the past 9 months, right? And, uh, I will say that, yeah, it's tough not being able to speak the language. It really limits you to what you can do, limits you to jobs that you can have and opportunities that you can have. Yeah, true. So yeah, definitely you're going to learn the language. And also I think learn about the culture as well so that you don't come in and be like ignorant, right? Yeah, and ignorant, especially in Japan, right? They really, as it is, they don't like foreigners so much. So you could go there and you act a fool, then even more you're making the other foreigners living there look bad, you know? Yeah, when you're on the trains, don't talk so loud. Just like whisper. Just don't talk. Yeah. And also, if you're going to watch videos on the train, please put on your AirPods or something.

Hey man, I'm all in favour of that. I don't understand why I need to hear what you're watching. Exactly. I think the more flip side of that coin would be where you are right now. What is the biggest takeaway you have for someone for someone who's scared to start again? Because your choice to do this, whether by, I mean, not intentionally or intentionally, it is a crazy reset as well. Right, right. Everything you've done. That's why we asked, I mean, I was asking what helped you through. Definitely a good relationship with the wife and communicating and all. What's the biggest take you have for people who are scared to like, "Hey, well, I've done this my whole life. Maybe I just continue doing this." And you, bro, you went full on balls to the wall, bro. In. It's not even let me continue doing this. I'm like, do what? I stay at home.

Yeah. Well, I think first of all, you need to know the situation that you're in. If you, like in my situation, like I said before, I'm very fortunate that, you know, rent and stuff is taken care of because of my wife's package, right? So if you're in a situation where you can afford certain things, you can afford to do certain things and, you know, have that backup, then by all means, go for it. Like I wouldn't I wouldn't have done it had I, you know, if I knew that I had commitments to pay for, you know, and not have a job, I wouldn't have done it. And I think at the same time as well, you know, yeah, deciding to make that big jump is the hardest part. But think about it, if you, if it doesn't work out, come back to Malaysia and then, you know, do whatever you were doing before. You were doing it for so long anyway. You have the experience anyway.

Kit Neoh, you literally just came back, plug and play right back in the radio.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I did it for one week.

What in the world? How was that though?

How was that? You feel good? It was fun. It was fun because it was something familiar. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. So you go back to what you were doing before, but look, and don't be that person who burns bridges with your ex-bosses or whatever. You know, have a good relationship and don't be like, "Oh, fuck you, I'm leaving." Sayonara! Shout out to your ex-boss.

No need to shout out to your ex-boss.

But yeah, so I think all these little things help with your decision and help make the transition smoother. So yeah, look, if it doesn't work out, at least you tried. You can come back to Malaysia and do whatever you were doing.

I mean, the fashion week is still waiting for his next season. I'm kidding. Lucas, after hearing all of Arnold's stories, are you going to move to Tokyo with him?

I won't move there, but I definitely want to spend some time there. I'm thinking about it, spending a week or two in Japan. I have also another friend who's also like Arnold, followed his wife there. I thought maybe spend some time.

There's a few of us around.

I should start a club.

I think honestly—

Househusbands of Malaysia, right? Exactly. You should do the club, man. Wow. It's like Alcoholics Anonymous group. Yeah, just that. You know, izakaya, you know. Namabiru!

Oh my goodness. Thanks guys for being part of the podcast today. I appreciate it.

So you're going to buy it at Fashion Week or what?

The goal is to go to Arnold's house and record one episode. Oh my goodness, that is crazy.

I am so pissed off.

You tell me when, I'll buy the ticket.

Dude, we reach his house, we record the episode, and after that, right back to the airport.

And then we get kicked out because we are being too noisy.

No, no, no, there's no neighbours. At night, bro.

Good idea. Oh my goodness. Let's make that a thing.

I'll be expecting more Pokémon orders arriving at my house via Ming Han.

I just, I don't go for here, bro. If there are, I will be damn happy to say there are. Nowadays, if we get an order, it's already winning lottery, bro. So we'll see. We'll see.

You need to start learning the answer to what's your favourite Pokémon.

Yeah, I think so. Because they might ask you in the store, who knows.

Cannot say Pikachu.

Can, can, can. Then they ask you, oh, who you buying it for? My daughter? Before we leave, Arnal, where can people find you online? And Lucas, where can people find you online? If you want people to find you online.

Maybe you don't want people to find me online. Yeah, I have an Instagram. It's not very active. @notluchs. But Don't find me, don't find me. Just find me in real life, better.

Okay, so we put your address at the bottom.

Dox the shit out of me.

Oh my gosh. Bangsar. Where do you live, Bangsar? I also have an Instagram and I do want people to find me because I need to make some money, guys. You can follow me at Arnold Loh, it's A-R-N-O-L-D-L-O-H. Same handle on TikTok. Yeah. YouTube Shorts.

Yeah, YouTube Shorts, bro. He doesn't do Xiao Hong Su? No, I don't know. I just downloaded it. It's another world.

I can only learn one language at a time, bro.

You must try first, bro, to learn the language, okay?

Oh my goodness. Again, thanks so much, guys, for being part of the episode.

Thanks for having us.

If it is your dream dream to move to Japan like Arnold, follow his stuff, uh, because I'm following it and every day is, uh, oh man, uh, if you want Pokémon cards, don't ask Arnold because I'm already asking him.

Thank you very much.
