Reunited and running on pure madness, the boys crack open the beers and launch headfirst into another avalanche of Japan’s most bizarre, outrageous, and completely WTF news stories. This week’s insanity includes: 🐒 Two drunken tourists break into a zoo to “hang out” with a monkey 👋 A copycat serial slapper picks the absolute wrong house 💸 A female con artist gets scammed by another con artist and pays the price 🎰 A man vacuum-seals thousands of stolen toys to fuel his pachinko addiction …and that’s only the beginning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supporting GOT FADED JAPAN ON PATREON directly supports keeping this show going and fueled with booze, seriously could you imagine the show sober??Neither can we!SUPPORT GFJ at: https://www.patreon.com/gotfadedjapan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!!!! 1.
