Even though Vanessa is in Brazil, The Tofu Trio still managed to get together to record a new episode. Vanessa brought along her niece Livia, but since she doesn't speak much English, Livia's contribution is pretty much limited to hello and goodbye. In fact, you actually hear more from Joey's dog Khaleesi than you do from Livia. Jon and Vanessa dive deep into their recent trip to Japan, where they were surprised to learn that the country isn't very vegan friendly. Jon also describes the high-tech toilets in Japan, which completely makes Joey’s day because he still possesses the sense of humor of a five year old. It's a wild international ride full of language barriers, dietary struggles, and way more bathroom talk than anyone could expect or want.

If you're interested in buying the fancy $400 bidet attachment that Jon bought on Amazon, visit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FCTR1Y75?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1. No, Amazon isn't paying them for this plug. They probably wish that Amazon did pay them, though!
