We are back! Thank you all so much for being patient with us. As we keep saying, both of us have made a lot of big changes in our lives and we underestimated how long it would take for everything to settle down. This is our first episode recording internationally. Bare with us! This week we dive into episodes 29-31. Shohei get's shut down hard as hell, Noah and Seina have a disgusting off-screen kiss, and Yui becomes the Riddler. We promised to bring Minute-to-Win so we did!

This week we dive into episodes 26-28. Jim's last episode recording in the United States! To nobody's surprise, Mayu announces her departure, as her replacement we get Aya Matarai (20), and Noah declares war on Shohei over Seina.

This week we dive into episode 23-25. Mayu goes in a bit to hard for Noah, Noah sets his sights on Yui, and probably the worst scene that we have seen happens with Shohei and Seina. As stated in the episode, please tweet or message us @TouristHousePod how you felt about Shohei kissing Seina. We feel like no one, in the house or on the hosts' couch, noticed that she was definitely uncomfortable. We would love to hear from y'all. Note for the future: We will be switching to biweekly. I am still interested in having some of our listeners as guests. I have not forgotten! I would like to have the guests on with Jim also though. We will try to record a backlog so that will allow Jim enough time to get settle in Japan.

This week we dive into episodes 20-22. After Shubasa becomes official they announce they are leaving the house, Shohei and Seina make some progress in their relationship, and we get two new housemates: Yui Tanaka and Noah Ishikura.

As we stated a couple times, Jim and I have yet to watch Terrace House Boys and Girls Next Door. Thankfully, Marc and Jackie fill that void and give us an interesting dynamic that we have yet to have on the show. This week we dive into episodes 14-16. Taka and Shohei give Ami the gifts of a shaven face and the most extra happy birthday song ever, Tsubasa pulls the cutest birthday gift giving ever, and Ami announces shes leaving which then lead to Shohei being the most dramatic ever.

This week we dive into episodes 5-7. Yuudai and Ami go on their date, Tsubaka ship sinks, and Yuudai becomes the most disappointing story in the history of Terrace House.
