came here to say the same. JRE is just sensationalized politics these days with cool episodes here and there but Mark has become my go to for "damn I didn't know I needed to know this". A thought I would often have listening to JRE 10 years ago. Well done Mark and stay curious!!!!
Y'all should check Shawn Ryan out .... Don't get me wrong, Mark is AMAZING! When it comes to HARD hitting topics and not being afraid to call BS ... Shawn is TOP DOG in the game 💪💯
I totally agree! I'm also wondering if you've been watching Daniel Tosh's new(er) podcast? His guest on the first episode is his wife's gynecologist...
The flagrant 2 style kept me from checking out your channel for so long, but I found your interview style very well done and asked insightful questions. Well done Mark! I’m subscribed.
This is a great conversation and really enjoyed listening to this one. Learned a lot about Japanese culture and it truly is fascinating. Keep up the good work! Love the pod!
Fantastic questions, great answers. I listen to a lot of podcasts at work and I keep coming to this one more and more. I also absolutely love how both are so passionate about the topic. Thank you.
God damn, this was a good pod. As a 4th gen Japanese (and Chinese) American I greatly appreciate this guest, your questions, and this pod. Thanks, Mark.
Fascinating 👏 I hope Mark brings other people like this on. It’d be interesting to have experts on other cultures that seem to have resonated in America. Like an expert on Mexico or Korea and their influence in America.
Miyamoto Musashi is the samurai (ronin, more correctly) who wrote the famous Book of Five Rings. And he did not "kill 62 men in one battle" like Mark says. We don't exactly know how many men he actually killed, but he did have around 60 1v1 duels, all of which he won, and he most likely killed at least 10-20 opponents, potentially more.
@@jianloso Yeah, kind of weird to be an expert on Japanese Samurai and not be aware of literally the most famous Samurai/Ronin that ever lived and his most famous work. By the way, the book Musashi, which a narrative exploration of his history, is the biggest bestselling book in Japan's history... just sayting 2
@random_adlib Enjoyed both for different reasons. But Sekiro is a different beast man. It's probably my favorite gaming experience in a while. Equal parts enjoyable and frustrating. By far my fav souls experience since Bloodborne.
@solomonthatcher3660 He also talks about bushido, which is not real. Samurai did not follow any code of honor or form of "chivalry." It's bullshit. It's a late 19th century creation deliberately designed to make Westerners pretend to understand it, and weebs on the internet defend it, showing its efficacy. It was literally created by one man, who knowingly exploited his historical knowledge of the west in order to make his own fiction more effective on westerners. Nitobe's work, Bushido, was so authentically Japanese it was written in English.
This is an amazing and unique episode. Camp keeps delivering 👏 Would also love to see you sit down with native Americans and talk about those stories and cultures.
Mark asked a very interesting question that how is the culture of Japan related to its geography and language. From perspective of mystical science it is very interesting. The predominant energy in the geography of Japan is Sun (Masculine energy). It is the energy of leadership, order, awareness which is evident in the culture of Japan. The ancient people of Japan knew this that is why the name Japan itself mean "Sun origin" and it is also called Land of Rising Sun. The emperor of Japan is said to come from the ancestry of Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess of Japan. The Japanese language is spoken from the abdomen. Especially booming voice of Japanese samurai. It activates their Navel center (Manipurka Chakra) also called Hara center (Hara-kiri) which is the again the centre of sun energy in our body. Even in Karate they are taught to say "Haaiyaah" which activates the navel center. Very interesting. I have not read all of this. I just made the connections from my knowledge in mystical arts.
Second comment here but I agree with others in the comment section man you are so prepared for these and your questions are on point. Very obvious you took the time to research the topics and the guest before hand. Bravo my dawg 👏🔥🤙
I first saw this dude on Flagrant but he interviews my type of guests on his show other then Max Holloway being on Flagrant all his interviews been fire
Judging by his Japanese skill, he plays up how integrated he was in his community was and how fluent he is in the language. He definitely was home schooled/or went to an English language school. Not a problem with that though, many international school kids around the world are not fluent in the language where they grew up. It is a part of their story, no shame in that. I think this guy kind of avoids addressing that because it damages his image as "the white guy who grew up in Japan".
“An assessable non racialized hero story” - Describes my experience when I watch/read Dragon Ball z, Hunter/Hunter, One Punch Man, Bleach, Naruto, Vampire Hunter D and many more. Shaped my childhood.
Crazy! I had a Pastor on that moved to Japan to help start churches for 13 years. All of his kids were born over there. Anyway, he says the culture is just amazing over there also.
Didn’t know I was in for a great episode. A white male growing up in Japan becoming the president of the club? I’m keen to listen to his story. Great content. Thanks.
Japanese films till the 90’s had more traditionally masculine lead roles. Like from action movies to dramas, all of them were older handsome men. The problem tho is most of the fans are men that want to be them lol. The biggest drivers of pop music are teen girls and they don’t want to date their uncles, they drive the entertainment economy. So all movies that had boyish guys became the standard. Also the new generation all over the world are much more feminine. Americans acting like 80’s lace wearing glam rock boys like Motley Crue didn’t exist. Also Asians look younger, we stay looking 25 till we’re 49 then we finally transform from a skinny boy to fat turtle looking uncle
Man, I'll always be grateful for flagrant... But it'll never be as good and enjoyable as CAMP. (I understand they're two completely opposite platforms)
Mark, I love you making money… but the amount of ad reads in this is absurd. Outside of this I love your podcast. I like that you are having on people that aren’t everywhere else on the podcast circuit. Not sure if that’s because your podcast is still a little smaller than the big guns, but I love it actually. I’ve seen Neal degrasse Tyson and all the comedians too much haha
Thanks Casey, I am working on having ad free versions within the next month. I appreciate your feedback and will continue getting interesting guests for ya
Wrong, ainu are indigenous to Hokkaido with some living in Honshu. Ainu were not the "original" indigenous people of Japan, That would be a combination of the Yayoi and Jomon people,( their history that stretches beyond 500BC) who would go on to become the Yamato people aka the current Japanese supermajority. Take your juvenile "they was kangz" tinted glasses elsewhere. Modern Japanese are native to their Island dating back more than a 1000 years. Unless you wanna go by the m0r0nic argument that they are still not indigenous then no population on earth is since everybody came out of Africa and interbred with existing variants of human ancestors, back before they even had a concept of complex societies that can harness political power for society building.
MUSASHI!!! MIYAMOTO MUSASHI!!! :/ "yes, who's the author of that?" How did he not know the author, but he knows all this samurai stuff? He mentions Kirosawa films, three of which are MUSASHI!! OMG!! :( :( :( Not 62 men in one battle.... throughout the history of his life he killed 60 something men. :( If he doesn't know who Musashi is, he's not going to know any other stories. Musashi is the most famous.
Remember, the CULTURE one is embedded in is what makes a (genetically) Japanese person...Japanese. Not that he has a certain skin tone, eye shape etc. So this "white guy" that you mentioned, grew up in a Japanese environment HAVING TO properly absorb, understand and abide by their specific cultural norms.
@ancientfuture9690 growing up in a culture doesn't make you that. Being a foriegner or even mixed race would by default make ones experience intrinsically different than the traditional Japanese citizen. Ask them if they grew up feeling accepted or treated as full japanese. The guy may know a lot from books and growing up there but he is nowhere near an "expert". There are rooms/info/culture and plenty circles he couldn't run in/access simply for being white, regardless of language/culture. I'm guessing you are white with that comment. U types always feel entitled. Charlize Theron is "African"...she is still a white woman.
Go to Japan and look instead of looking at America media for Americans, there are Japanese individuals who are experts on American history, almost like different individuals can have different academic passions and interest. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the video
I think Mark might be the new Rogan. The last few camps have been the most interesting and enjoyable podcasts I’ve listened to for a long time.
came here to say the same. JRE is just sensationalized politics these days with cool episodes here and there but Mark has become my go to for "damn I didn't know I needed to know this". A thought I would often have listening to JRE 10 years ago. Well done Mark and stay curious!!!!

Definitely more interesting conversations
🤔 hmmm I think your into something, both their standup sucks but can have a good convo with an interesting person lol
I totally agree!
I'm also wondering if you've been watching Daniel Tosh's new(er) podcast?
His guest on the first episode is his wife's gynecologist...
The flagrant 2 style kept me from checking out your channel for so long, but I found your interview style very well done and asked insightful questions. Well done Mark! I’m subscribed.
Yup. I'm glad Mark started his own podcast.👍
Same! Well said
Salute Mark this may have been your best episode.. fire ass questions, and cool guest
I love that Mark gives the guest space to speak. They talk 90% of the podcast. I love it.
This is a great conversation and really enjoyed listening to this one. Learned a lot about Japanese culture and it truly is fascinating. Keep up the good work! Love the pod!
Honestly my favorite podcast episode I've heard all month. I listen to so many different ones, but this was awesome
Mark, this was awesome! Arigatou. As a Japanese living here I get excited when people want to know about our culture 😊
Japanese culture is awesome I love it ❤
What a great guest!!!! Great conversation. I love Japanese culture so I was super excited to listen 🙏🏼
Fantastic questions, great answers. I listen to a lot of podcasts at work and I keep coming to this one more and more. I also absolutely love how both are so passionate about the topic. Thank you.
God damn, this was a good pod. As a 4th gen Japanese (and Chinese) American I greatly appreciate this guest, your questions, and this pod. Thanks, Mark.
My (now deceased) Japanese wife was from the Hojo clan down in Kyushu. A long line of Samurai. They had the family crest and everything.
good ass podcast mark really upping the whole podcast game with these S tier interviews
Fascinating 👏 I hope Mark brings other people like this on. It’d be interesting to have experts on other cultures that seem to have resonated in America. Like an expert on Mexico or Korea and their influence in America.

👏🏼 I wasbgetting ready to write this but yea. ..Not to hate but youre an expert and dont know the Philosophy of Miyamoto Musashi 🤔
@@jianloso Yeah, kind of weird to be an expert on Japanese Samurai and not be aware of literally the most famous Samurai/Ronin that ever lived and his most famous work. By the way, the book Musashi, which a narrative exploration of his history, is the biggest bestselling book in Japan's history... just sayting 2
6 minutes in and already stoked
Just finished, Ghost of Sushima and Sekiro and currently watching Shogun. This comes just in time.
which did you enjoy better sekiro or tsushima?
@random_adlib Enjoyed both for different reasons. But Sekiro is a different beast man. It's probably my favorite gaming experience in a while. Equal parts enjoyable and frustrating. By far my fav souls experience since Bloodborne.
Sick podcast brotha!!! Thanksss mangggg!!
Please don’t stop dude… you’re guests and vibe are you superior
one of the best episodes so far 👏🏿....
one of my fav episodes yet
I've waited for this my entire life time to nerd out on some Miyamoto Musashi stuff
You did not watch this at all lmao
Nope! lol
This guy didn’t even remember Musashi’s name 😢
Like a punch to the gut

Dude, one guy that fought with swords isnt the only thing interesting about Japan....
@@solomonthatcher3660ya that was weird huh
Dawg.Your curiosity is my curiosity.Great episode
Mark, what a great interview. If you go to Japan society, you gotta do another pod there too. Keep up the great content!
Such a rich conversation!
This is an amazing and unique episode. Camp keeps delivering 👏
Would also love to see you sit down with native Americans and talk about those stories and cultures.
Praise be the camp

Very nice get Mark

What did you edit out when he was talking about vending machines lol…..
Ah Monkey piece, my favorite anime
We just 2 hrs in before Buddy go oh I speak Turkish too
Uh, this is gonna be an interesting episode for me. I'm a huge weeb that loves anime and samurais. Lol.
I wonder what the brand name of that whiskey was?
Managed to last an hour before saying "I have a Phd"... standard.
"Let us be the last..." Powerful, powerful words.
Black people in the 70’ 80’s idk loved Bruce Lee aka Kung Fu, hence “Wu Tang”. Idk why but I know from Bruce to Wu I think that just passed on 59:51
Can’t spell bushido without bulls$it 😂🙏 best words from the samurai archives podcast
I died inside when they didn't know Miyamoto Musashi's name.
The Book of 5 rings is MY Bible.
Neat
Better than Schultz anyday
chat what he say when was spitting Japanese bars in the beginning
Alright I subbed. But, Jamaica needs a redo.
should asked bout that stupid Black Samurai Thing
Mark, I love you making money… but the amount of ad reads in this is absurd.

Now watch Shōgun
Does this man miss?
Never.
Sounds like life is a stage and Japan is Broadway.
FUCKING COOL MAN!!
Camp gonna have a breakout episode in the next year and become the next Rogan 2.0
I'm sitting here waiting for my fav geopilitical propo-journalist and instead, I'm building character 🤮🤮🤮
Curse you Mark! Post the McBeth episode
The culture aside from the Bushido code is fascinating.
I think Mark is lil bit better than JRE because he’s a little bit more open minded individual.
Mexicano culture also accepts children to care for parents. Japanese and Latinos family is most important thing. Familia
You have to play ghost of tshushima
😂😂😂😂 sekiro is better but Tsushima captures more culture
Im from colombia latin america, I love your podcast so much. huge fan keep it on.
Caaaaaamp 🏕️
Typically I'd oppose Japanese imperialism in all it's forms, but I'll allow it

Even the modern Japanese are not natives. The land belongs to the Ainu.

@NaturalHypertrophy has a way better take on the black community and anime than the president of the japan club
@larrylopez5779 what’s the name of the video so I could check it out?
Uh beryu honorabru uproadu.
Calling a white man a Japan expert is hilarious. TH-cam homepage is nice to have back 😂😂😂😂😂

Kinda lost my trust when he couldn’t name musashi
Hmm we wuz japanese and sheit, subarashi.
Sorry dude. Japan had them both coming.
I wonder how he has 0 accent at all
1 - 18 🧐 my parents left earlier and still have accent
Yeah its literally impossible for this guy to be an expert on Japan. Look at him.
Idk i feel I’d trust a Japanese person more than this dude. It’s giving Tom cruise the last samurai vibes 💀
This guy was bullied 😂. Western trying to control the world.
Couldn't find a Japanese expert, on Japan, always some random Whyte guy.......
Go to Japan and look instead of looking at America media for Americans, there are Japanese individuals who are experts on American history, almost like different individuals can have different academic passions and interest. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the video
Something about this seems fishy.
Yep, yep, yep..
Yes, yes, yes....
