NO NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT! THIS IS BRUCE'S BLOG ALRIGHT!
Yes it is, I'm just using this template in the meantime while i figure out and learn about how to make my very own template.
Most of you may have noticed that my blogroll has shrunk significantly, that's because i forgot to save before changing to classic... Please leave a tag so that i can link you back thank you.
Anyways, I found out something about my favourite comedy duo a month ago. The group comprises of Hamada Masatoshi and Matsumoto Hitoshi, and calls themselves 'Downtown'. This group masterminded the crazy shows that has been popping up on youtube every now and then, namely silent library and the no laughing punishments, slapstick material for the mindless blokes. But what I really like about the duo is their standup acts. 100% ad-lib, 100% un-scripted.
A little bit of background on the two of them. Matsumoto and Hamada both grew up in the same region of Japan and even went to high school together, so you can pretty much call them childhood friends. You can even see them talking about their childhood in this item.
Now here's what I found out the other day... Apparently, while they appear very close on air, Matsumoto and Hamada never spend time together outside of work. They even made arrangements such that they will never meet each other. Matsumoto doesn't even have Hamada's number! All these despite the great chemistry they have on stage!
I am truly stumped... Would it be that these guys had been best friends before going into the industry, and their personal relationship got bad after? If that's the case, what exactly happened between the two? Now that I know about their relationship, it just makes watching their standups kinda awkward at times...
If you have the chance to go into a successful business with your bestest buddy knowing that you'll lose that relationship, would you still go ahead with it? I prolly wouldn't...
