#7 トム・ブラウン単独でキレそうになった話

Opening talk: no hairstyling and Silver Week

Before recording, Sakamoto has made a habit of styling his hair in the studio's shared restroom. Last time he was told that bringing in a flat iron was "taking it too far," so this time he stuck to just wax. That led to a bigger idea: if you want the show to feel more like radio, going with no hairstyling at all might actually seem more professional. Sakamoto admitted, "I hadn't thought of that." The talk moved on to Silver Week, with Ujiara confessing he hadn't known it existed until two days earlier — he only found out when he tried to book a salon appointment last week and was told "there are a lot of days off next week." The two agreed that being a comedian and a YouTuber are jobs that don't let you develop a sense of the days of the week, and that they'd actually had less sense of the weekly rhythm back in their unpaid years than now, when, for example, filming for the YouTube "GG Channel" happens on Tuesdays. Asked their favorite day of the week, they named Friday, when both the audio and video versions of the radio show drop.

The Sakamoto family's golden wedding anniversary and family trip

Following on from Silver Week, Sakamoto revealed that his parents are turning 75 and, to mark the milestone of their marriage, there's a plan for the whole six-person family — including his siblings — to go on a trip together. Ujiara brought up Ueda-san, who has taken his family on overseas trips, and jokingly urged Sakamoto to "do more of that kind of thing."

Hamamatsu news: "Onshiina," home to the world's most beautiful Starbucks

This week's Hamamatsu news covers Onshiina, a new leisure complex that opened September 18 at the Shin-Tomei Hamamatsu-Inasa IC. On a hilltop overlooking Lake Hamana sits a Starbucks billed as the "world's most beautiful," alongside a 3D maze, a dog run, and a sightseeing boat dock. The conversation wandered into questioning the trend of criticizing people who study or work at Starbucks, Sakamoto's usual order (a ham-and-cheese sandwich, a chocolate scone, and an iced coffee, ordered via Uber Eats), and the messages written on the cups. Sakamoto also recounted a time overseas when he felt a shop clerk was into him, prompting Ujiara to needle him: "You're 38 and that instinct still kicks in?"

A blowup at the Tom Braun solo live

Ujiara attended three straight days of Tom Braun's solo tour Tokyo shows. Michio thanked him, saying that Fukawa had sympathized with Michio's on-air complaints about his partner and felt lighter for it — but Ujiara couldn't shake the feeling that the source of those complaints was Michio himself. He was also furious at Sakamoto, who appeared to help with the between-act skit: Sakamoto had cut corners on his lines in rehearsal and said he wanted to do his own improvised lines instead of the prepared script, and then, despite being in a staff role during the actual show, posed for photos with fans. Ujiara said he seriously scolded him for it in the backstage restroom. Still, he admitted with some frustration that Sakamoto's performance on the day was excellent, and that at the after-party Sakamoto ordered a huge amount and was treated like a hero.

Listener nicknames keep coming in

The episode closes with the listener-nickname segment. Tamagoyaki-san (36), from Yamaguchi Prefecture, submitted "Outsider," while Kashiitoota-san (36), from Tokyo, offered "Reserves," tying it to the pair's past near-criminal episodes — shoplifting, rigged cards, and cheating on tests.
