The episode aired October 23, 2026.

What this episode answers
How much does the iPhone Duo cost, and how do Yahagi and Ogi feel about it?
The cheapest model starts at around ¥360,000 and the top model at around ¥570,000, which means a couple buying matching units would spend over ¥1,000,000. Both hosts called it a small festival moment given the major design overhaul; Yahagi, still holding a recently purchased iPhone, said he hopes Ogi will buy one and take his old model off his hands.
How did Ogiyahagi react to Gerrard-don winning King of Conte?
Ogi watched King of Conte alone with a full pizza-and-cola spread, saw it through twice — once live and once the following day — and called Gerrard-don's win 'abnormal, way too cool.' He was moved to tears after seeing his daughter Naho cry, even though Naho already knew the winner. Yahagi said he completely understood being brought to tears as a fellow comedian.
What were the three misfortunes Yahagi suffered on the shinkansen to Toyohashi?
First, Yahagi misread a ChatGPT result and thought his train was the 8:51 Hikari when it was actually the 20:31 departure, forcing a full sprint to catch it. Second, every time he tried to recline his seat even a few centimetres, the large man behind him pushed it back upright with his foot, and when Yahagi tried to check his reflection in the window, their eyes briefly met and the man glared at him all the way to Toyohashi. Third, in the panic he left his jacket on the seat, and the lost-property centre contacted him the next day to say it had not been found.
What happened to listeners and the event team surrounding the Megane Biiki 20th-anniversary event?
A listener who signed the email 'Yoku Kaku to Haji Kaku' reported going into labour on the day of the event and giving birth to a baby weighing over 3,000 g at 5:52 p.m.; she had purchased a streaming ticket and requested additional merchandise production. In response, restocking of the sold-out pouch and the 'Kusomen Kusogal Cap' was announced, with online sales set for noon on Friday the 23rd. Separately, a PHP error had taken the archive-streaming system offline temporarily, and an extension of the viewing deadline was also promised.
What happened with Ogi's constipation episode, and how did it end?
Ogi, who has severe chronic constipation and can normally go only once a week with the help of strong laxatives, felt his gut suddenly start moving during a location shoot — but with no laxatives and a hardened exit, nothing came out on site. Back home, he rushed straight to the bathroom, but all that emerged were two or three small, hard, round lumps, leaving the bulk of what had built up still inside.
The iPhone Folds: Foldable 'iPhone Duo' Goes on Sale
Yahagi (矢作) opened the show with 'the day has finally come' — the foldable iPhone Duo had launched. The pair mused that listeners passing the Omotesando Apple Store after the show wrapped around 3 a.m. might catch a queue forming outside.
Pricing starts at roughly ¥360,000 for the base model and climbs to about ¥570,000 at the top, meaning a couple buying matching units would exceed ¥1,000,000. Even so, both hosts felt ¥360,000 was 'totally manageable,' noting that Samsung and Google foldables also sit in the ¥300,000-plus range. With this being the first major exterior redesign in some time, they described the launch as 'a bit of a festival.' Yahagi admitted he just bought an iPhone (either the 17 or 18) and can't justify another purchase yet, but told Ogi directly that if he buys the Duo, he'd like Ogi to take the old one.
King of Conte: Pizza, Cola, and Two Full Viewings
Ogi (小木) confessed how he spent King of Conte night. Because he has children at home, he normally watches comedy specials on TVer and always skips the opening — so he had no idea the rap intro was, in his words, 'that cool.' Yahagi pointed out that the opening is talked about every year; Ogi looked sheepish.
On the night itself, Ogi ordered pizza, potato wedges, and nuggets, poured himself a cola, and watched from start to finish — solo. The pizza arrived just before broadcast, ideal timing. The following day, with his daughter Naho (ナホ) out, he sat down and watched the whole thing again from the top.
On the winner, Gerrard-don (ジェラードン): 'They were abnormal — way too cool.' Naho had known in advance who won and cried watching the announcement; Ogi cried right along with her. 'As a comedian yourself, of course you'd cry,' Yahagi said.
The pair also discussed Yahhoi (ヤッホイ), whom both knew from Gotta-tan (ゴットタン). They marvelled at the group's format — the quieter member devises the material and whispers it to the louder member right before they go on — and said knowing that made the act feel even more extraordinary. Ogi also caught Spicy Garlic (スパイシーガーリック) coming up through the wildcard round, capping what was clearly a big comedy-fan night for him.
Megane Biiki 20th-Anniversary Event: Baby, PHP Bug, Restock
A listener going by the name 'Yoku Kaku to Haji Kaku' wrote in to report that she went into labour on the day of the anniversary event, delivering a baby of over 3,000 g at 5:52 p.m. She had already bought a streaming ticket and asked whether sold-out merchandise could be restocked.
The show announced that the pouch and the 'Kusomen Kusogal Cap' (クソメン・クソガルキャップ) would both go back into production, with online sales opening at noon on Friday the 23rd.
On the technical side, a PHP error had knocked the archive-streaming system into maintenance mode, briefly making the broadcast inaccessible. The system was back up by the time of recording, but because viewers had missed a window, an extension of the streaming deadline would be announced separately.
Three Strikes on the Shinkansen to Toyohashi
Yahagi had been doing early-arrival prep in Toyohashi, and the journey there went wrong from the first step.
**Strike one: the timetable misread.** He had errands in Kawasaki and planned to continue to Toyohashi from Shin-Yokohama. He searched on ChatGPT and locked in what he thought was the '8:51 Hikari.' After putting his kids to bed he headed out, only to realise in the station that 8:51 was a.m. — the actual evening Hikari left at 20:31. He had under twenty minutes and sprinted for the platform. 'My thighs gave out on the last three steps and I had to lift my own legs with my hands,' he said, boarding with the doors already closing.
**Strike two: the man using his foot as a headrest lock.** Once seated, Yahagi tried to recline the usual few centimetres — and the seat pushed straight back. Every attempt, same result. In the dark, with the window acting as a mirror, he looked back and saw a heavyset man playing on his phone, one foot planted firmly against Yahagi's seatback. Yahagi tried to use his phone's front camera to get a better look at the man's face; the man glanced up for a split second, so Yahagi immediately hid the phone. Too intimidated to try the recline again, he rode the entire leg to Toyohashi sitting nearly bolt-upright. When he got off, he snuck a look back — the man was still glaring.
**Strike three: the forgotten jacket.** In all the chaos, Yahagi left his jacket on the seat. He had successfully retrieved a single AirPod from a shinkansen before by cross-referencing his boarding record and seat number, so he filed the same kind of report. The lost-property centre called the next day: nothing found. He had worn the jacket only once, and suspects the man behind him may have taken it — though he has no way to prove it and says he is still holding out hope.
Ogi's Constipation Crisis: Location Shoot Survival, Three Lumps
Ogi opened up about being, in his own words, a 'super constipation sufferer.' He relies on strong laxatives to go once a week; without them, he described his exit as being blocked solid, 'like a cork.'
The incident unfolded the day after a location shoot. His gut suddenly started moving on its own — no laxatives involved — but with the cork in place, nothing could exit. Instead, he said, he could feel the liquid building up inside him slowly hardening as time passed, sensing the whole process in real time. Somehow he held on through the outdoor shoot with no nearby toilet, which he found remarkable.
On the way home, as his apartment got closer, the urge intensified — that classic phenomenon of the body sensing home turf. He ran straight to the bathroom. The result: two or three small, hard, round pellets. The rest remained exactly where it was.
Takeaways
- The foldable iPhone Duo launches at ¥360,000–¥570,000; Yahagi hopes Ogi buys one and inherits his current iPhone.
- Yahagi's shinkansen to Toyohashi turned into a triple ordeal — a misread timetable, a passenger blocking his recline with his foot, and a jacket that has not been found — all in one night.
- Ogi, who can only go once a week even with strong laxatives, survived a constipation episode mid-location shoot only to produce two or three hard pellets after rushing home.
