I don't know if we can.
That would be pretty awesome.
But we're only, we're very close to five million.
500% of our goal and just uh 14, 13 people away thank you.
I think somebody just signed up 13 people away from 700 which is for home runs and Major league Baseball, an amazing career achievement and for a project that's very close to uh beyond our expectations.

And by the way you have 30 seconds to upgrade if you want to get another 10 new gooey or, or I said this just, I should have said this in the beginning, There are upgrades and I don't think we're gonna make more than what we have.
So you have 30 seconds, 55 seconds to upgrade.
Uh, don't upgrade but add on if you want to get another mask, not a mask, another um, Eco bag, which is amazing quality.
Peter did a really good job finding a great place to do it another time.
We were so close to five million yen.
I don't think we're going to get there, but um, the effort was amazing.
Steven had just played 3000 yen, Thank you, Stephen, wow!
It just keeps going.
And to Otaku, we love you, you guys, I hope in one day to meet Amber gonna come over there and say hi and give you a big hug.
You helped us put us over the top today, Look at that 17 seconds, Peter Do you see this?
And peter was emcee at the wedding inside this building, making jokes at me in front of all my friends and family was awful!
703 3, 700 people, 54321, john just pledged 1000 yen, wow!

I am shell shocked Maybe because I had one beer at lunch.
Here's your phone back.
That is incredible.
Oh my gosh!
We got like 20 people right at the end.
That is amazing.
Alright, I get it's so windy here, I apologize for the win, it's so windy.
Let's, let's go down on the bridge.
We're gonna come back and take a picture.
Sorry about the wind.
Oh my gosh, I need, I need a shot of whiskey or something.
I'll take a shadow shot a lemonade.
I had a massive burger.
Oh, so we already finished the trip.
I can tell you with complete certainty that these 10 days of adventure are amazing.
We saw bear, We saw three bears crossing the street while we were driving the RV camper and peter and I thought they were construction workers like, wait, what is that?
The closer we got, construction workers don't wear big fur jacket jackets in summer.
We got closer we got holy mackerel, you could go years without finding a japanese Asiatic bear And there, there's three of them mama and two babies.
Two cubs walking across the street that's going to be in the documentary.
There's like we saw so much wildlife just driving around foxes running across the street deer on the side of the road.
We saw every Hokkaido animal.
We didn't see any wild boards, which would have been pretty cool.
But um, what just, what an effort.
And I'm so excited for everybody who backed for the, for the documentary because Peter and I peter is coming back at the end of august and we're gonna start working editing the documentary and I'm just so excited for this to relive the memories.
But then to share this adventure with you.
Um, I have no plans to put this documentary on Youtube, but I will put a mini version of it on the main channel as an episode about motorcycling and adventuring driving around Hokkaido.
Uh, maybe it's gonna be like a 10 minute episode, but the documentary is gonna be like two hours long.
So we have so much amazing footage with 2.5 terabytes of data, peter, 2.5 terabytes of data.
We took backed up every day using five or six different cameras backed up the audio.
It was long days of filming and adventure.
It was seriously, we needed a vacation from the vacation.
I crashed the next day after I got home.
I couldn't do anything.
We're just so excited.
Um, we, we found these two rewards, the eco bags and the 10 degree the headbands.
Um, we just thought it was something that was useful.
Something that you, you would use every day.
And even the headbands I think once you see like it could be used as a towel or something to wipe your face or you could use it as a headband.
There's so many things you can do with it, wrap things in it.
It's such a useful thing that I thought definitely this is something that we could put in the campaign.
I think there's some pretty good rewards, much different than the masks and the posters and the stuff we did last time.
Uh, and uh, I just, I just want to say thank you all for backing this Kickstarter.
Can eyes all the way all the way down at the end of the dock.
Peter did a live stream here once too.
I think this is Shinagawa area.
Higashi Shinagawa 10 Oh, I'll, which is an island I guess.
And one of the best places to come if you have a few hours to spend for lunch and walking around.
Um, and a very symbolic place for Canadian because this is where we got hitched.
Not well, the, the reception party was here and once again, peter was the emcee of that and totally roasted me.
Never seen so many jokes fit in a like a five minute span to embarrass me.
It worked.
Can I is there?
Let's get a final comment.
Arthur, Thank you Arthur!
Vandal.
Ah, I appreciate it buddy.
Thank you.
All right.
We got 705 people I believe almost five million yen.
Um Any final comments because you're going to Hakodate now.
Me, you've won a trip to Hakodate.
Yeah, thank you so much.
I'm really looking forward to go to Hakodate with Leo, we can eat a lot.
We can eat good words, we can eat a lot.
It's cooler there.
But september is pretty cool.
We're gonna put that on the T shirt for the next Kickstarter.
A picture of canine leo, We can eat a lot surrounded by various foods of Japan.
Sounds like a pretty good idea.
The mountain there.
Yeah, that's possible.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Peter will be traveling by himself because his family is working and going to school but nevertheless he is family.
So Peter will be with us.
We will adopt him.
Should be fun.
Time is leo sleeping.
Hey leo, bye bye, say bye bye to everybody.
Bye bye.
He's getting he's getting suntan.
Say bye bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye bye.
He's so sleepy now.
He's really sleepy.
He's got a good suntan going on.
You can see he's got my, my summer color, the Daniela russo summer color.
Alright, everybody.
I, I don't want to, I don't want to drag this out, but I, I just thank you so much.
Um for the amazing support.
I guess Peter and I are gonna do this again.
Let's see how the documentary goes.
If it's really good, we'll consider doing it again.
Um We rented these motorcycles from rental 8 to 1.
It's cool to be able to travel around.
Uh thank you for the comment.
I'll read that buddy when I get back.
Um Yeah, it's pretty cool to be able to travel and just jump on a bike wherever you go.
The rentals have been really, really amazing.
I didn't know you could rent motorcycles.
Yeah, Kyushu next time maybe or shikoku I guess Peter and I will talk about it.
Tohoku might even be possible.
Tohoku would be great.
They got so many beautiful places up there.
Um You know, this is something maybe we do once a year as an outing once a season.
I don't know if we'll do it as kick starters but the backing here is just incredible and shout out to Peter.
His homicide inc podcast was recently featured on itunes.
It's really hard to break out as a podcast and he's doing an amazing job.
Um My parents are avid listeners because they listen in on long, long rides to go up to visit.
Yeah.
To visit my brother.
So Peter's voice uh amuses them with tales of murder.
So you can check that out.
Murder inc wherever you get your podcast.
It's like on every platform and once again only in japan, that's what I do.
And uh I got an adventure coming up soon.
I'm going to Chicago tomorrow morning to film an episode that's top secret I guess.
I don't know you're gonna see me there anyways, but I rented a convertible.
I'll be driving on an island near Chicago, a small island.
Um filming an episode that's coming out in october and uh there's supposed to be a typhoon coming.
But if the weather is okay I'm gonna be going to another island not too far away.
You're gonna find out because they're gonna be livestreamed anyways on go because I take you with me alright everybody.
Thanks so much.
See you have a good day, have a good night and really wonderful wonderful time.
Uh Just seeing what we could do with this project and we exceeded I think everybody's expectations because because of the community and because of all you guys.
Thank you everybody.
Alright.
Bye bye.
