1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's time for Josey and Amanda's cuting room floor.

2
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: What's on the cutting room floor? Always some good pickens

3
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: on a Friday.

4
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 3: Well, a couple of stories from Japan. It's no surprise

5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: that loneliness is a huge scourge in our societies. But

6
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 3: it seems that a couple of examples here of what's

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: going on in Japan. It seems that they are things

8
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: are particularly hard for them. What about this? In Japan?

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: You can hire a man yep to wipe your tears

10
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 3: when you're watching movies. I mean, wiping your tears is

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: one thing. But you can hire a man, an attractive man,

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: it says, who offers you emotional support and sits beside

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 3: you as you watch a movie. This is part of

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: a unique therapy and companionship us. You can meet for coffee,

15
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: you can ask them to accompany you in groups for

16
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: good conversation or spiritual comfort, or sit beside you on

17
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: the couch and watch a.

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Good Weepye what about other comforts? You know? No, what

19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: comforts are.

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 4: Thee of the what you're doing hand motions? See, this

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: is problem.

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: This is the problem, Brendan is many women are looking

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: for comfort that isn't just sexual. It may surprise you

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: to hear that your thoughts go straight to sexual, not

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: at all. These people, and men and women, I imagine, are

26
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 3: looking for a sense of community, a sense of commitment,

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: not commitment so much as content. They're looking for a

28
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 3: sense of community and a sense of connection that they're

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: not getting. Doesn't mean sex necessarily. It means friendship, people

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: to do things with. So you're not doing the stuff

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: you like just on your own, which goes back to

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: your point.

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess I'm a simple guy. I just

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: like to ask the questions. But I suppose you just

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: tire a sex worker, wouldn't you?

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: Really?

37
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: Is that what you'd do if I needed that and

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 3: ask them to sit down and watch just a weepy

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: movie with you? What about this part of the story.

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: In Japan, yohutsu refers to people who disappear due to

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: pressures like failed marriages, debt, job loss. They abandoned their

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: lives and they live anonymously off the grid. There are

43
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: even specialized companies called night movers that assist them in

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: vanishing completely.

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: Your hatsu, it said with a j jahatsu jahatsu.

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: I thought it was a brand of outboard motor.

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: Don't make that mistake.

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: You think you're going to buy an outboard motor, suddenly

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: you're living in Venezuela.

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: And there's one more.

51
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: Oh I love Japan stories.

52
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: This is a really sad one.

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: A lot of elderly, particularly women in Japan, are struggling

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: with loneliness, and they're choosing a huge number of people

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: are choosing to go to prison rather than live alone.

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: They have found a huge, huge sense of community in prison.

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: There's a couple of examples. He c and ended a

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: story on it. It's an eighty one year old inmate.

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: She knows the burden of isolation and poverty. She's been

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: to prison twice. She steals food deliberately to get caught,

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: and because that's her second offense, she's in prison, so

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: she re offends, so she'll end up back in prison

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: where she has a band of friends in there who

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: are doing similar things. So she found herself living off

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: a very small pension. She said, I didn't have any

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: friends and all of this no family support or very

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: little family support. So she now pays. She now is

68
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: in prison, and there are some people who will even

69
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: pay to live in prison. They'll pay a small stipend

70
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: to be in prison. There's a huge society of elderly

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: women finding their community in a Japanese prison.

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Can you hire someone to wipe away your tea drop tattoo?

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 4: It's an interesting prison story.

74
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: It's like Midnight Express meets Driving Miss Daisy.

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: A little bit from Colum Mane, a little bit from

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: column this.

77
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Is a little bit too homo erotic for.

78
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: Mind elderly Japanese women.

79
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: No, no, The Midnight Express.

80
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: I never Actually, you haven't seen it. No, it's a

81
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: great movie, is it. It sounds like you've loved it.

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: No, it's great, but it is.

83
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: I saw it when I was young, and I probably

84
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: can watch homosexual scenes are probably better with watching it.

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: But back then I.

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: Was like, that's one of the first times you'd seen it.

87
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it wasn't like full on graphic

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: but it was you know, the protagonist who was in

89
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: the jail for the hash and then a Swiss backpacker

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: and they you know, they're both.

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: There, both willing.

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

93
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like they just have a chemistry.

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: Oh okay, So it wasn't like one being attacked by that.

95
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's not. No, it's it's quite and

96
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: that's the thing. It's quite a soft romantic. If you

Speaker 2: will see.

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: What the tea is away.

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Well, if you've got a Japanese attractive man, that might

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: be okay, although I wouldn't say I go into a

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: prison now and the say I'm just here for the

102
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: company because my skin's too sold, so I've hidden the soap.
