Speaker 1: of Japan's thirty nine year old Takashi Miyagawa is a
Speaker 1: part time worker who enjoys the good things in life
Speaker 1: and also a company of women. So a guy hang out,
Speaker 1: he came up with a sneaky plan for him to
Speaker 1: enjoy both. Okay, why does it have to be sneaky?
Speaker 1: Women are so smart these days. You got to be
Speaker 1: sneaky about it. While working at a marketing company where
Speaker 1: he sold shower heads, he was able to get into
Speaker 1: thirty five different relationships Daniel, three, five yes, and he
Speaker 1: told each and every one of them that he wanted
Speaker 1: to get married sometime soon. What's his ploy here? I
Speaker 1: don't get it. He can't marry thirty five women. After that,
Speaker 1: Takashi mentioned that he had a birthday coming up, which
Speaker 1: wasn't true, oh, because his plan was to get thirty
Speaker 1: five different presents from all thirty five women on thirty
Speaker 1: five different made up birthdays. It's almost a birthday. A week.
Speaker 1: I mean, he got too far from the whole year.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be hard to pull. A lot of free meals,
Speaker 1: and the ladies all fell for it. They bought him clothes,
Speaker 1: expensive watches, some gave him cash. According to authorities, the
Speaker 1: women paid over one hundred thousand dollars in total for
Speaker 1: all of his gifts. Girls, that's why when you have
Speaker 1: a new boyfriend, you never buy them anything like worth
Speaker 1: a lot of money. You gotta start low, man, maybe
Speaker 1: a card, even when you make him your husband. Still
Speaker 1: he's not gonna scam me. Michael's been telling me for
Speaker 1: years that his birthday is one day prove it. So
Speaker 1: eventually Takashi got caught. And how did that happen? The
Speaker 1: women eventually all found out about each other and apparently
Speaker 1: decided to team up and report him to the police. Wow.
Speaker 1: He was arrested, and Japanese social media was flooded with
Speaker 1: messages from people who were disgusted but also incredibly impressed
Speaker 1: that he could balance thirty five women at the same time.
Speaker 1: I mean a couple days, I have both those feelings
Speaker 1: for him too. Yeah, I want to user rote He's
Speaker 1: an awful person, but I envy his time management skills. Yeah,
