First 90 secondsPete Donaldson· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Wow.
Chris Broad· Host0:01
[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to the Abroad in Japan podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan. I'm your host, Chris Broad. We're joined by the one, the only, Pete Donaldson, Japan enthusiast. He's got snazzy hair. Pete, how the devil are you doing?
Pete Donaldson· Host0:24
Would you, um, like to not only be joined with me but also conjoined to me?
Chris Broad· Host0:28
[laughs] Would- Could you deal with my life? I have the perfect ingredient right here.
Pete Donaldson· Host0:32
Exactly, yeah.
Chris Broad· Host0:33
On my rush, my desperate rush into London today, I realized I had no hair wax.
Pete Donaldson· Host0:37
Mm.
Chris Broad· Host0:37
'Cause my hair's like a fucking mop. It looks shit, and I went into the, uh, like a, like a corner store.
Pete Donaldson· Host0:43
Yeah.
Chris Broad· Host0:43
And I was like- And that...
Pete Donaldson· Host0:44

Chris Broad· Host0:49
When I'm doing my hair, I choose Enliven hair gel.
Pete Donaldson· Host0:52
Enliven hair gel.
Chris Broad· Host0:52
For those of you who can't see it, it's a bucket- It's the '90s.
Pete Donaldson· Host0:55
It's a pot of the '90s.
Chris Broad· Host0:56
It is, isn't it? [laughs] It's a bucket of red slop- Yeah ... that looks like it's come out of a Chernobyl reactor. Uh, it's £1.29. It's made in the UK.
Pete Donaldson· Host1:04
£1.29. Look after the pennies, why don't ya?
Chris Broad· Host1:05
This is, uh, on a scale of one to five, it has a, a third level of hold.
Pete Donaldson· Host1:09
Right, okay.
Chris Broad· Host1:10
[laughs] But it's done fuck all to my hair, so.
Pete Donaldson· Host1:11
Well, I, I think it's... I think it looks pretty snazzy, to be honest.
Chris Broad· Host1:14
I look like I've come out of a shower.
Pete Donaldson· Host1:15
I thought you'd turned up with, like, one of those BuzzBall drinks that people drink. [laughs] Those colorful alcopops.
Chris Broad· Host1:20
But ingredients include aqua, my favorite '90s band.
Pete Donaldson· Host1:24
That's a good start. Good start to everything.
Chris Broad· Host1:24
Phenoxyethanol, tri... I can't even read some of these. Hydrogenated castor oil,
