In this episode, we dig into Japanese-English words that totally threw us off when we first heard them—like “pot,” “reform,” “ping pong,” and even “yankee.” Scoey and I share some wild personal stories (including how I almost ended up on a Cocoichi wall of fame), and we joke about everything from beer bellies to body lines. Some of these words sound exactly like English, but the meanings in Japan are way different. It’s a mix of language, culture, and a lot of laughs—plus a few solid dad jokes thrown in for good measure.
