Chris finds a water leak in his kitchen on a three-day holiday, launching a desperate hunt for a trustworthy plumber.

The episode opens with Nagayama recounting how he fell ill with a fever after feeling unusually tired during exercise, recovering quickly within a day. Chris then shares two personal anecdotes. First, he describes attending a live performance by singer Hashimoto Nene and the unit Shamisen Zanmai at Cafe Amamiya in Kyoto, where he ate beef curry udon during the show while seated next to a woman in a white fluffy outfit, creating a tense dining experience. Second, he details discovering a water leak in his apartment kitchen on a three-day holiday weekend, leading to a stressful search for a reliable plumber through official city listings, eventually getting it fixed with a full faucet replacement. The hosts then discuss listener mail requesting thoughts on the novel '自転しながら公転する' by Yamoto Fumio, analyzing its protagonist Miyako and the flawed male characters like the ex-delinquent Hirokazu. Chris connects it to another novel about marital breakdown. Conversation shifts to the Ushiku Daibutsu in Ibaraki, with Chris revealing its height of 120 meters compared to the Statue of Liberty's 33-meter statue. Nagayama shares local ambivalence about the monument. The episode concludes with an announcement about an AI-generated jingle battle contest for the podcast, offering prizes like acrylic stands.
