Podcast: Hot Tears of Shame -€“ Episode Thirty Two

Lost in a haze of bad Xanax and good jetlag, Pat and Matt break into Bandai HQ by way of a rickshaw in Asakusa. The B-club has airlifted a priceless toy robot over from the states to spice up a corporate event in Akihabara and the Otackers want a piece of the action! But a mysterious ticket stub hidden away in an old toy box quickly leads them astray on a newer and deadlier mission in darkest Kuramae.

Man, this is fucked up.

I just had a dream last night where I randomly ran into you and Matt walking around (perhaps speaking into a recorder) and today you post this podcast.

Uh...that's it?

Not to be a greedy gus, but it seems like there ought to be a second half to that. You guys go into the store, music comes up and I see a slideshow in my head of you cavorting through ancient treasure (hilarity ensues) and then...we're done?

Standing by for more...

Pay me more.

Dude, come on. You walk into what sounds like a gold mine and we don't even get to read about it? Pay or no pay, that doesn't measure up to your usual standard.

[Patrick Macias]

I guess you'll have to wait and see what happens next.

GYP! GYP! Sebbin 'lebbin has this same brand for tree fiddy!

I, too, have dreams like Matt, only they involve going to some 'out of favor' shipping port town in Japan and stumbling across a warehouse owned by Uchino International (the parent of Pony toy-go-round), where they went out of business sometime about 1992, and the place is PACKED with stuff from the '70s to then...*sigh*

Like finding a case of DX Jetman 'Jet Icarus + Jet Garuda' gift sets. ow, ow, ow.

Say, does Japan have 'unclaimed freight' warehouses? Maybe that's where all those 'dead stock' toys that suddenly show up in waves come from.
