Got Faded Japan

EPISODE 819

Yooooo Faders! in this LOUD, HEAVY & BEAUTIFUL INSANITY-FUELED episode, Johnny sits down with the Australian metal monsters BEAST MACHINE!

Hailing from the East Coast of Australia, this crushing two-piece has been described as a collision between GWAR and SLIPKNOT, and after talking with these guys, we can definitely see why!

BEAST MACHINE have independently released multiple EPs and albums, toured the United States twice, played legendary venues including the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, and even picked up a Dolphin Award for their single Time Slowed Down. Their latest release, While It All Burns, takes their sound even further into the territory of thrash, metal, punk and doom.

Johnny gets into the band's history, their insane live shows, touring America, their music, the Australian metal scene, and what happens when this two-man wrecking crew finally lands in Japan!

And speaking of Japan...

EPISODE 817

If you listened to the previous episode, then you already know what this experiment is all about. But if you missed it, here's the story...

This episode was originally recorded last week after Johnny indulged in the sweet, sweet nectar of Suntory Highballs, specifically the mighty 9% BIG-BOY cans. As a completely ridiculous social experiment, he decided to record the exact same episode again the following day while hung-TF-over-AF.

In a move that may never be repeated in podcasting history, the Hangover Edition was released first, and now it's finally time for the original recording: the most faded episode of Got Faded Japan.

Same news. Same Johnny. Very different levels of sobriety.

So the question is: which Johnny do you prefer, the hungover survivor fueled by coffee and regret, or the fully faded Johnny powered by highballs and questionable decision-making?

Tune in and enjoy what may very well be the most important podcast experiment in modern history.

EPISODE 816

Last night's episode was recorded after Johnny demolished a grip of 9% Suntory Highballs. Today? He’s paying the price.

This is the official Hangover Edition.

As a completely ridiculous social experiment, Johnny’s reading the exact same Japan news stories from last night's episode, but this time with a pounding headache, zero alcohol in his system, and enough coffee to tranquilize a horse.

In this week’s news, six men busted for importing "sex bots" allegedly stuffed with solid gold, a worrying surge in attacks on paramedics, a tourist arrested for doing Tokyo Drifts in a museum parking lot, and the weird, wild, and unbelievable stories that only Japan can deliver.

Same news. Same host. Completely caffinated.
