Joined by exactly none of the original cast, we follow some new ugly dude as he sinks deeper and deeper into the seedy underbelly of Japanese street racing. 
Andrew and Melinda are joined by their friend Dillon Hooten to decipher ancient Japanese proverbs, try to remember what high school was like, and reconnect with their absent drunk fathers. Enjoy!!!
