## Resource

Episode 807. In this action-packed episode of Got Faded Japan, Johnny and Tom are back together, diving headfirst into another week of Japan’s wildest, weirdest, and most WTF worthy news. From creative highs to behind-the-scenes banter, the boys set the tone before unleashing a storm of outrageous headlines that will leave you shaking your head and laughing out loud. And trust us… this one’s a wild ride. This week’s bizarre lineup includes a man who thought his body could stop a moving car (spoiler: it couldn’t), the infamous Bumping Bandit still on the loose and causing chaos up in Hokkaido, a KFC getting straight-up ganked, and a panty thief finally getting caught red-panty-handed. Yeah… it’s that kind of episode. All that and plenty more chaos, laughs, and absolute madness, only on Got Faded Japan.
