They reflect on their past experiences, including purchasing a property in Southern Japan, and share updates on their journey. The Tokyo property appears promising at first, with Joey noting its immediate livability compared to their previous purchase. However, upon closer inspection, issues arise, including moisture damage, termites, rot, and mold. Despite these challenges, the hosts debate the decision to proceed with a lower offer and express optimism about their future endeavors in Tokyo. With the outcome pending, listeners are left on a cliffhanger, awaiting the next episode for further updates.
