Wanna know a fun fact about Figs? Fig trees only bear fruit thanks to something called a fig wasp. The wasps are born inside the figs, and when the females hatch, they crawl out to find a new fig in which they can lay their own eggs. And for a Fig to be edible, They have to be at least one female stuck inside, An enzyme from the fruit breaks down the body into protein. The Fig basically digests the dead insect, Making it a part of the resulting ripened fruit. The crunchy bit in figs are seeds, Not anatomical parts of wasp. The relationship between figs and figs wasp is a symbolic, entirely natural one. Fig wasps need figs, and Figs need Fig wasp. Neither would continue to thrive without the other. Crazy right?
I was shook when Simon said people might not know Hips Don't Lie anymore. Like what do you mean? It's Shakira. It's iconic. People not knowing Hips Don't Lie? Sounds fake, but okay. XP
I've been a lurker on your channel for a few years now silently enjoying your content. But after having a crappy day and seeing you guys overcome your own problems on your podcast. I just wanted to say how much it makes me smile when I get to watch you guys eat and explore foods. Made my sick day a little bit easier. Thanks for all the joyful content I look forward to many more years of it.
All things considered, greek yoghurt is one of the healthiest ways to have your yoghurt, and with a lot of fruit and nothing else? I'd say it's a semi-healthy choice
Oh man I just finished watching your recent Tokyo tales and I was like I can't wait til they get back into their routine, build that ladder and make a video. I was pleasantly surprised to see this video in my subscriptions! Haha thank you for keeping me company while I edit my own videos, it's nice seeing other creators push through during low points. It gives me hope to keep going too 💕
It's so odd for us to see comments like this. Back when we started, there wasn't really a huge community of creators, and I wouldn't imagine that other creators watch us. But now it seems some do. So cool!
Simon and Martina thats totally understandable! I've been silently watching your video for almost 6 or 7 years! 😅 I guess in some way I'm spoiled because as I start out on youtube, I can draw inspiration and motivation from other creators when I feel down or don't want to make a video. But this community of creators, its saved me in so many ways and I can't wait to see where this all goes :)
It is not possible to be in a bad mood and watch Simon and Martina. Literally forgot what I was annoyed about as soon as they started talking. Truly love this channel.
Sorry Martina. I love special edition nikuman, but Simon's tattoo will be forever, so I am definitely curious about the process. Also, I love parfaits.
When you guys said that you guys were going to be emotionally eating I just automatically took out my ice cream and was emotionally eating with you guys. Like things have been rough for me and I’ve been binge watching your videos and they honestly help :1
You are spoiling us with two uploads. This has totally improved my day after I've been cut from a contest and had awful joint pain since I woke up at 4.30am for work. Thank you!
im so fucking sorry about spudgy. he was the sweetest boy ya'll could ever ask for. i subbed after seeing you guys post about bringing spudgy and meemers to japan and i dont regret it because you guys continued to make dedicated videos despite having those bad days. rest in peace spudgy. and feel better, simon and martina. im sure he'll continue to watch you guys build a ladder while in heaven : )
hey guys! i just listened to the “snap out of it” podcast and just wanted to say how happy your videos make me. you guys have such a positive effect on your viewers and we appreciate you a lot. keep on keeping on!
Simon and Martina spittin’ truth about Japan’s great AND not so great parfaits. Love it! I can’t wait to come over and try what’s in season at that first place.
I'm currently doing a heavy task for uni, and Idk if the parfait is refreshing me or if you both are refreshing me. I totally needed this. Glad you two are happy and exploring the place, makes me as a Nasty real happy too. Lotsa love to both you youu
Lol I was confused too when she said it was made out with yogurt rather than ice cream. In the US parfaits are all yogurt usually topped with granola and fruit
Me too, I'd have called the last two a sundae! To me a parfait is cream, fruit and maybe some meringue in there, and maybe some sauce (from UK/France). I'd not seen the yoghurt variety before! It was great seeing the Japanese take on a parfait. :)
My Heart goes out to Spudgey, your parents love you very much. We lost our little Misha cat to kidney failure this week, my partners physical pain and the emotions of losing a beloved family member have been a great burden, so parfaits were the natural go to for escape. Thanks YOU TWO and Dan LOVELY PEOPLE. Making Our World better by just being YOu.
Honestly, you guys are the best. I love watching you guys and I'm taking notes on all the delicious food to eat when I visit Japan and south korea. Honestly, you two are the best
I have a small yogurt everyday! Its good for digestion and helps natural bacteria form. Plus I think it helps with my acne and skin in general since I've started having a yogurt a day my skin seems to be healthier.
Thought u might like to know that I got notification for this video and bonus! Yay! Unlike last video where I only got bonus video notification. Success!
Oh man. I’m on a SimonandMartina roll. Saved all of your videos for a weird funk day aka today and boom you uploaded two new videos within several hours. No reason not to get my butt up the ladder again! I hope you fall asleep everyday knowing how happy you make someone somewhere in the world is ❤️
Those parfaits look so so delicious. I've never tried figs cause they look scary. Maybe I should give them a try! Had a trying day with doctors telling me to 'just try harder'.... But this brought my spirits back up! Love you guys ♥
Thank you so much for this video!! It gives me a bit of joy during a really tough time for me. I heard your podcast earlier and you guys are sooo truthfull and open with us i feel like i hear really close friends giving me advice on life.. My dad just passed away this afternoon and you are my first choice to brighten my day when i get finally alone in my bedroom.. Much love from France.. ❤❤❤
Yay parfait time ;) please let us know what was new at sushi Saito for your second visit, plus I love the purple in your hair Martina. So happy you have a beautiful husband In Simon and him supporting you. You’re so inspiring
gahhh i love you guys!!!!! at the end when you guys try to persuade us on who to click made me smile real hard and i not sure why!! just lots of warm fuzzy feelings
aw dang I'm finally in the same time zone as you guys and saw the notification but I can't watch the video. I just tried watching it without sound and switching on the subtitles. but there are only the automatic subtitles so far and that was.. interesting 😅 I'll watch it tomorrow on the train and probably immediately go to eat parfait in Kyoto 💕
This and your podcast was what I need an to build up my ladder to day. Thanks I have a super bad pain day and this helped a lot. Hope you are feeling better after all that have been around you lately. And it is okay to need to take breaks (speclly for you martina) we with chronic pain needs a day off often one time a week.
And I fell so bad for Spudgy I have had allt if kidney stones so I know they hurt a lot I just wanna hug him (we can have kidney stones together 😂) hope he will be better soon as well.
I got the notification for this video but I saved it because I knew I needed it now. We put down one of the family dogs today and your video helped me smile
Martina, you totally made my day with your rendition of hips don't lie. A hugely underrated song that always gets me in a good mood when I do the corny dance to it. Glad you feel the same way. Thanks for being such a ray of funshine :D
so glad to see you guys back Simon and Martina! ❤️also anyone else notice their 'likes' disappear each time you watch a video?? I watched this twice and had to like it each time...is this just me??
@@FSLynx0628 dont worry dear its just part of nature and its actually part of why figs are so delicious. Its actually a special type wasp called a fig wasp they evolved right aling side the fig tree and both tree and wasp helps keeo both species going
Um Simon, hips don't lie is an iconic song and anyone that doesn't know it should reevaluate their lives.
Yesyesyyes
THANK YOU.
Syed Abbas: Yes I was thinking the same thing! Plus Martina's rendition was hilarious XD!
I came to the comments to check for this. Like who doesn’t know that song!?
Preach man preach
First of all, Martina's hair looks super cute in this video. Second of all, SIMON HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE WON'T RECOGNIZE HIPS DON'T LIE.
Simon and Martina: old and wrinkly couple who enjoy figs
Also Simon and Martina: spill their food like 3 year olds
Petition for Simon and Martina to heart this comment 😂
@@sakurawhiterabbit better hit them likes so they can see me dissing them! 😂

Almost her twin sister, right?
hahaha, glad to see Im not the only Colombian who felt the same way
I'm colombian too! :)
Me three!! ^^
Another colombian nasty here!
Japan has some great parfaits, and some not so great parfaits. We'll try both and show you what they're all about!
I love your videos
I feel very sad about your dog 😢😢😢
Feel better guys, sending healing vibes your way. #latestpodcast
Would you dare say the perfect parfait? 🤔
What is the different colored hearts on our ladder for subscribers mean?
*I didn't know Spudgy could sing like Shakira*
Sassy Dumpling omg best comment! I really want to see Spudgy dancing My hips don’t lie
❤️❤️❤️
This makes me so sad now:(
Why is there a rainbow ladder on your comment

@@CarynGibson-ey1xn I have met more kids who know Hips Don't Lie than any current pop song.

Martina is like the real life Ms. Frizzle. Her earrings are always on point! And those colourful dresses too! I love her!
“We feed Dan.”
Gives him corn parfait.
You guys look so happy! Whenever I travel to japan I hope I'm lucky enough you guys are hosting a meet up or something! Keep being awesome
Also.... Shakira Shakira! (inserto copyrighted music)
Oh wow, I can’t believe they peeled the grape open like a flower in that first parfait
I was rewatching the video and I just noticed it now! it looks kind of like a carnivorous plant 😂
2 simon and martina videos in one day?! IM HERE FOR THIS

You can click on the links at the end of the video to them.
@@Laurefin They are at the end of the video. They are unlisted, so you can only access them from this video
ahh thank you! I will ask someone who knows technology why they arent showing up on my screen! :)
Thank you! I suck at computers :D

Martina has forever improved that song cause now I hear her voice when I listen to it 😂
Love this video! As you already know where I’m watching it haha. You guys definitely brighten up my day
Sending lots of love to the spudgy boy! Kidney stones are an awful experience, hopefully he recovers soon!
idk if anyone said this yet but its driving me nuts so,
parfait: yogurt
sundae: ice cream
Huh?? The original french parfait used custard. The japanese parfait uses ice cream. Not sure where a yogurt one is?? .-.
Me too I’ve only eaten parfait with yogurt, never had it with custard or ice cream 🍨
Lol I was confused too when she said it was made out with yogurt rather than ice cream. In the US parfaits are all yogurt usually topped with granola and fruit
@@sharri115 whats a treat about that though? Its just breakfast yogurt?
@@RiverTheOneandOnly yogurt is in north America
we are all rooting for spudgy
I always thought of parfaits as yogurt and fruit. This seems more like a sundae to me. Such a cool thing seeing cultural differences 😋💕🍨
Me too, I'd have called the last two a sundae! To me a parfait is cream, fruit and maybe some meringue in there, and maybe some sauce (from UK/France). I'd not seen the yoghurt variety before! It was great seeing the Japanese take on a parfait. :)

Good answer!
Just a comment to tell you guys that I AM LOVING the font choices in your videos, thumbnails, etc. Really, great job for design choices. 👌👍💖💖💖

That’s great news!
YOU ARE SPOLING US!!! CHRISTMAS CAN ONLY BE A DISAPPOINTMENT NOW! 2 VIDEOS IN ONE DAY, I´M SO HAPPY!!!
I heard Shakira! Simon, I'm almost as old as you guys are, soooo I know a lot of songs from the 80's up. Don't doubt your audience!
Oh man. I’m on a SimonandMartina roll. Saved all of your videos for a weird funk day aka today and boom you uploaded two new videos within several hours. No reason not to get my butt up the ladder again! I hope you fall asleep everyday knowing how happy you make someone somewhere in the world is ❤️

Poor lil Spudgy, feel better little man ❤️❤️❤️
yall put so much effort into your videos and each time you post one, we always get three!!
Okay, I have a few things to say;

Sending you all of the positivity I could muster. For Martina for Simon and for Spudgy (and meemers).
Sending hugs and get well soon thoughts to Spudgy!!!! 💖💕

Martina... remember the expensive fruits Simon bought?? yeah can't help remember them when I saw the melons at the parfait store xD
I love you guys so much. I'm glad you're back. I watched your podcast first and I'm glad you're feeling better Martina!
If a yogurt parfait is truly unsweetened I’d say it’s healthy!! I’m also a fig enthusiast so I’m a bit biased 😊

Glad to see you guys posting again! These videos brighten my day, can’t wait for more!💕
Awhhh spudgy my babyyy.... poor thing. Wishing he gets well soon
I’m with you martina. I know that song, it’s been on my playlist for years. Don’t make me feel old!!
You should have called this video Parfaits and Parfails 😋 I picked Martina first this time, sorry Simon.
I JUST FOUND YOUR PODCAST ON SPOTIFY AND I'M SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR THAT!!!!
Your both just so SWEET love you guys
This is the first video I see about you guys and I loved it!
Saw this video and said "I have MISSED them." As if you guys WENT somewhere. haha
WOW!! Such beautiful works of colorful (food) art!!
Thank you for sharing and all the best to you!!
I actually really like corn flakes in my parfaits...don't hurt me! ^ ^
This just made my morning :D So glad you guys are back and I hope Spudgy gets better, even when things are tough you two spread joy wherever you go
RIP Spudgy :(
I'm so SO happy that you guys are feeling better and you're back making videos! Hope Spudgy gets better soon
I feel bad for spudgy cause I had kidney stones and it is not fun. It hurts like hell. Poor doggie 😔
so glad to see you guys back Simon and Martina! ❤️also anyone else notice their 'likes' disappear each time you watch a video?? I watched this twice and had to like it each time...is this just me??
WHERE DID MARTINA GET THOSE ADORABLE EARRINGS?!
She got them in a fan mail package
Check out: fatally feminine designs 🍭 I follow her on instagram and she’s awesome!
Your videos make my day I can't wait to watch Tokyo tales after this, love you guys!
Martina, you look like starbursts 😍
I love how you try so hard to convince yourself eating parfaits is healthy for you.... it's sweet :')
Fun Fact: Figs have wasps dissolved in them... it's how they're fertilized.
Oh my god. Please dont be true
@@FSLynx0628 dont worry dear its just part of nature and its actually part of why figs are so delicious.
Its actually a special type wasp called a fig wasp they evolved right aling side the fig tree and both tree and wasp helps keeo both species going
Danielle Odriscoll Yep, nature is cool...but I wish it was a lie because honestly I can’t eat them ever since finding out :{
Farha Shaikh it’s true but only the figs in certain trees get wasps in them
Danae Goliath if you’re in america the figs you get wont have wasps in them. The type of tree they breed to sell doesn’t breed wasps like normal
Had a long crappy day at work ... thank you for the upload and making me smile
Love your hair and earrings Martina!!! Love you two!! Thank you for all you do!
I'm so glad I'm not alone in emotional eating, I've missed both your beautiful faces, love you guys!
