The Truth Behind Japanese Maid Cafés

The Truth Behind Japanese Maid Cafés

We're in Akihabara, Tokyo today and we're about to go into a maid cafe. If you're not familiar with the concept, basically it's a cafe full of young girls dressed like maids who serve food and alcohol and drinks. It's got sort of a weird reputation. Some people say it's pervy, it's sex work, it's a strip club.

it's full of weird dudes but we're going to get to the bottom of all of that by asking the girls that work there what makes them want to put the maid suit on everyday and come to work. - So the girls in the cafe were saying that they typically make around 900 yen as a starting salary which is pretty normal for somewhere in the service industry in Japan. What's good, what should I get? - Combo. - Combo, ok can I get a cup of coffee. Perfect! So I couldn't just do the dance without the food? This with the dance? I think I'm going to do alcohol. (laughing) So I just ordered a cocktail and a live dance. I have no idea what that's going to look like but we're going to find out. (singing in Japanese) Wow ok. (both laughing) That is delicious. Thank you, thank you. This is my, this is my photograph. Yeah they drawed on it, it is adorable. I will keep this forever, thank you. So the last part is the dance? Oh dance. - We went to a maid cafe today to figure out is it weird, is it strange, is it pervy. The answer is it's fairly innocent. I think there are some guys that might take it a little too seriously but for the most part it's young girls having a fun time dancing, serving fun drinks

This 4-Minute Workout Is All You Need To Get Fit

Welcome to Street Workouts. We're here on the street, and we're going to work out. According to science, if you work out really hard for just a short period of time, that's just as good as kinda working out for a long period of time. If you've got five minutes here are five full-body exercises that we're going to do on the street. Let's try it out. Do you have any New Year's resolutions? - I definitely want to work out.Eat healthier, work out more.

Eat healthy? Work out more? - Party harder. - Party harder? All right. Four minutes on the clock. Are you ready? Yeah! - Yeah! Three, two, one. OK, we're going to start with ten push-ups. Super easy, make two little V's, and go all the way down, come back up, count them off. One! Two! - Three. - Four! Remember if you don't have great upper body strength, you can do push-ups from your knees. That's cool too. It just lowers the weight. Nine and ten. OK, now we're going to keep that heart rate up. You're going to finish out that first minute with jumping jacks. Keep that heart rate up, keep that body moving. - [Cameraman] How do you feel right now? - Exhausted. - Tired already. - I failed my P.E. test. - I'm usually the type of guy to go for half-hour jogs with my wife. Now, I read about high-intensity interval training and I figured I'd make a video about it. OK. Nope, fifteen more seconds of jumping jacks. Did you come dressed appropriately to work out? - You know, my ripped jeans are faring pretty well, actually. - You feel that? You feel the energy? You guys feeling it? - Yes. One minute down. Let's do this! Up next, spider lunges. The way these work is you're going to start in a plank position, then just like a spider, put one leg up, then jump back, then you gotta switch. Left leg! Right leg! All right? We're going to do ten of those. One, two... I'm a spider. Yeah, that's it. Get those legs all the way up. Five, six. This works out your shoulders 'cause you gotta keep your arms steady, and it works out your whole lower body. - Oh my God. - Nine, ten. OK. Guess what? More jumping jacks. - OK. - Keep that heart rate up. Fitness, fitness, fitness. Wait, that's Jingle Bell Rock. So whenever you're not moving, whenever you're not counting to ten, you're going to round it out with some jumping jacks. - I'm regretting this. - You got some sweat stains right there. - Do I? Oh, I was [inaudible] my shirt. - You ladies are working hard. I'm the instructor, though, so I get to sit down. These people were on the way to see a movie. Now they're working out on the street. And, two minutes! Two minutes is up. Now it's time for the third exercise. Next is ten jumping lunges. You're going to do a standard lunge, dipping your knee down. Don't let your knee go in front of your toe, and then, boom! jump up, switch legs. Ten of those. Ready? One! Two! Three, four. Keep up now, five. Oh, geez. - Eight, nine, ten. OK. And jumping jacks. - OK. - We got thirty more seconds. OK. You've only been working out for two minutes! Two minutes! Can you believe that? I've stayed on the toilet for longer than two minutes. Once you start doing push-ups, I was like, "Oh no, I don't think I can do this [inaudible]" but then, I got into it and now I'm on a body high, I guess. - Oh my God. - Well, do you think you would do this at home? Yeah, definitely. This is a lot of fun. It was quick, short, but really high intensity. It gave you what you needed, a good boost. - Three minutes up! Time to move on to the last exercise. All right, you start up, you go down, then you walk your hands out all the way to a plank position, then walk yourself back up. One! All right, that's just one. OK. Ten more. Getting a little tired. Use your arms, your legs, your core muscles. Dig deep, dig deep. Four minutes is almost up. Seven. Three more. You guys are slowing down on me. You got this. How do you feel? - Exhausted. Clearly out of shape. It could be worse. - I feel healthier already. Time to start doing this more. - You don't have to go to the gym to do this, you can do this literally on the street. You got this...and ten! Street Workout! (all cheering) That took four minutes. Now for a twenty-minute workout, you do that five more times. Nothing should hold you back. If you want to be healthy, you can do it. Street! - Fitness!

News Investigates Shady University

News Investigates Shady University

In the quickest summary, what did you uncover? A school in California that is made up of 99% foreign students and has in fact become one of the country's largest importers of foreign students. The university, they were very afraid that students who weren't doing well academically would have to leave the country and leave the school, which would cost them a lot of money. Is that good? There was this insane story in the Indian media last year


that a lot of the students trying to come to this college were being blocked from boarding airplanes and turned back at customs. We started doing some digging. We were able to find this amazing trove of documents that gave us this inside look at the university and its financials and what the administrators were up to. I uncovered an institutionalized system of changing grades, making it impossible for students to fail classes. The school was almost entirely controlled by one family that's reaped some pretty serious benefits, even though technically it's a nonprofit college.
The university doesn't spend a lot on educating its students, but it does spend a lot of money on paying recruiters in India to bring the students in for them. They spent over a million dollars on these recruiters who advertise the school and in return they get a portion of the students' tuition. Days when the school's accreditor came to visit, the school set up this elaborate Potemkin village of a university. They instructed their teachers who are in fact part time to say that they worked full time at the university and sit in offices. There was also a period where the school didn't have a librarian and they brought in a librarian from outside, from a different university to sit at the desk. What's really messed up and crazy is that even though the president and his second in command have multimillion dollar houses owned by the university, they spend almost nothing on educating their students. It also points to this very big weakness in our accreditation system. Our evidence suggests they're maybe not doing their job, even when confronted with evidence of pretty serious wrongdoing.

Adults Rewatch Classic Christmas Movies

Adults Rewatch Classic Christmas Movies

"Deck the Halls" I love Christmas classics. I watched these growing up every single year. It's my favorite part of Christmas. - There used to be like a 25-day marathon where they would just be rerun and rerun and rerun, and I would watch em a few times each. I remember really being interested in watching claymations because I wanted to eat them. ("Deck the Halls" - (singing) - This is one of those songs that you don't know you know until it comes on and you start singing all the words.
He's fabulous. I forgot how fabulous this guy was! - I would love if it I had like smaller versions of myself as like my henchmen. - It's really still mind-boggling like knowing how much work went into all of this. Aw, mom! I don't wanna have a nice day at the North Pole. - What an imaginative movie. They have to go see the Snow Miser, the Heat Miser, and now Mother Nature so Santa Claus can get his job back. - So this is why kids write letters to Santa Claus because he could straight up just like cancel Christmas. - And now Santa's gonna cry and everybody's crying and this is depressing! I love how this goes in depth into the history of Santa Claus cause for the most part, nobody really knows where he came from. He's just some dude who exists. - They're like, ok, we got standards and practices. We need quality toys. - They're just adorable little people dancing around! - Toys were so simple back then. Here's a block of wood! - It's like every parent's argument, like, I hate toys, pick up your Legos! - It's hilarious cause it's like the same song in every movie but like just from different perspectives. - And like I still know all the words. I still know the songs. - I like how he has his credentials on his pajamas. - Ok, so can we just talk about how cute that penguin is? - So he's saying like to change your attitude, you just physically have to move your body somewhere else, and then you're different. - Winter Warlock looks a lot like Dumbledore. - And Santa's a ginger. - Married under a Christmas tree, oh my God! ("Deck the Halls") - I like how they're not really hitting on anything. They're just like randomly like poking at stuff. - Herbie the Misfit Elf's got some swag with his hair. - Of course he doesn't like to make toys. - Everyone's such a dick! - A dentist? - I wanna chill with this guy cause when I get pissed off too, I break into song. - (mumbles) say this, as a child I'd blame these kind of movies for my fascination with snow. - We just narrowly escaped an abominable snowman. - Who knew lumber-sexuals existed in the world of claymation? That was magical. - Well I know why they call them classics. Most of em still hold up. - They're timeless, so I think kids should definitely watch these still. - It's December and I'm watching these, so for the rest of December now I'm gonna be in Christmas mode. That's what's up. (creaking noise)

16 Hours In A CrossFit Gym

16 Hours In A Cross Fit Gym

Why do you have to get here so early? Because we want the gym to be bumping before everybody get here. So what do you have to do before people start showing up? - I'm about to put on music, most important part. Um, make sure the workout's on the board. (Madi sighs) Is your arm tired? - It is. Don't touch me. - I like the crowd at six in the morning.

Why? - Why? Yeah. - [Rich] They're just all motivated individuals. - [Madi] What's nice is that even though they might not have the most energy in the morning they're still all there for each other, and like, the sense of camaraderie's still there. - [Brian] I think it's awesome because we have people that tend to be consistent with the time that they come to class so you get to see them over time. - [Madi] And then from seven until nine o'clock there's nothing scheduled, so it's usually just me by myself. - [Voice over] What do you do? - I clean like a mad woman. The time feels like it goes by so quickly here because I'm just like enjoying every second. You know, there's obviously stuff that is maybe not as fun, but even when like, I'm cleaning the gym, it's a space that I'm proud of and it's a space that I love, so I don't mind taking care of it like that. It's just, like, a necessary task to show people like, we care. - [Madi] People start arriving at like 8:45 for class. And I greet them and tell them that they're beautiful and we just continue on with our day. So then we have open gym from 10 to noon and I have my break then, so I'll train with our coach. (upbeat electronic music) - [Samantha] So I'm the head coach here at Vault Crossfit. I would say that we're unique because we're definitely the friendliest box but we are also a very competitive box, which is a rare combination, I think. In crossfit usually it's one way or the other. - [Madi] We've had people come and literally just bring their dog so we can hang out with their dogs and not work out at all. I think people just really enjoy being here especially when it's like, we have a lot of really hard working people, so it's a place that they can come and hang out with like, adult friends, that isn't destructive to their lifestyle. - [Samantha] You know, we look forward to coming in because it's like, a change to see not only our teammates, but our friends. (people clapping and shouting encouragement) - [Madi] Then around 11:30 you come back up here, get people signed in for the noon class. - After that, if you are up for the challenge, we're gonna start doing a wading pool up-- - My name is Chanida Sintuu and I'm the owner of Vault Crossfit. It's been around for three and a half years. People who don't have regular day jobs, they usually come in around the 9 am or the noon class. Noon there's different combinations of people that come in. Noon can be a big party as well. - [Jorge] Everyone's always here pushing each other, wanting to get to the next level. There's always someone here to work with you, plus all the coaches are here to help you out. - [Leti] I love the camaraderie, I love the fact that everybody gets to push you. - [Madi] And we have open gym in the evening and then from there it's just like bam bam bam class class class class class. - [Chanida] Four pm-ers that are kind of after work, but then the evening shifts is five, six, and seven, where all the people that come in after work and they just wanna get their workout in. The 6:15 and the 7:15 pm classes rock pretty hard. - [Luke] Everyone who comes, we kick butt as a group and we do the exercise and we're bonding, and we're having a lot of fun. - [Chanida] I think this community has one of the biggest hearts that I've ever experienced and I've been to a few boxes. - Why am I here? Again. - I taught spin class! - [Chanida] Obviously at Vault, we specialize in crossfit but I think as much as crossfit embodies a lot of different aspects of training, I think there are some things that we don't focus as much on, and I wanted to bring that into Vault. Crossfit can be very high impact, and so I wanted to add some low impact activities like indoor cycling, and yoga and mobility. - [Madi] I'm gonna go home and crash for a few hours and be back at 5:30 tomorrow. This is southern California, so you can find, I mean, I live in Studio City and there's like five different crossfit gyms that I could go to. And you stick with the ones that make you feel the best about what you're doing here and who welcome you when you come in and make you feel like oh, they care that I'm here today. Even if they don't (laughs) you still feel like that. - [Chanida] As a business owner, I've gone through a lot of change in just the few years that we've opened, but I feel in my heart that now we have the right combination of people to make this place flourish.

Bro. - [Voiceover] Look, I came into this wanting to get rid of just one little scraggly eyebrow, and I emerged a whole new man. - I would do this again if the pain was not as substantial. - [Voiceover] Well, this was fun. I'm not going to do this again for a long time. But hey, this was a good experience. - It's definitely gonna be a side hustle. I'm just gonna do this from the back of my car. Just park up at a park somewhere and just fleek fleek fleek. - I have my fleeked my brows to the fullest. I don't like people touching my face. But you know what, if you're gonna fleek your brows, at least do it with your bro. - We're comfortable with this.
