■ Up-and-coming Comedians from Osaka Spill the Beans on 'Comedians They Don't Want to Deal With'! Westland's Iguchi: 'Who the Heck Is That!'
In episode #363, aired on Sunday, May 24, the program featured a new segment titled 'Iguchi: The Session with Comedians New to Tokyo,' where up-and-coming comedians hoping to succeed in Tokyo's variety scene teamed up with Westland's Hiroyuki Iguchi for cooperation games.
Participants included Cave Poster, Double Higashi, and Cell Light Spa, who moved to Tokyo this spring, with Oda Ueda serving as assistants. From the beginning, Iguchi, who has publicly declared his dislike for 'Osaka-style comedians,' reacted with rejection, saying, 'I don't want to session with them at all' and 'Our values are definitely different.' During the 'Balloon Disclosure Memory Game,' comedians spoke up with names they 'don't want to deal with,' mentioning figures like 'Super Maradona's Takechi,' 'Seiki Nagahara,' and 'Gallop.' When the balloon finally reached Iguchi, he panicked because he didn't recognize the name 'Akane 250cc's Koizumi,' which was mentioned by Cave Poster's Junpei Hamada, and blew up the balloon while shouting, 'Who on earth is Akane 250cc!'

Furthermore, in the segment 'Towns I Want to Live In When I Make It,' the newcomers bombarded him with local Osaka place names like 'Uriwari-Yata,' 'Sekime-Takanodono,' and 'Hōden.' Iguchi panicked again, saying, 'I don't understand what you're saying!' and failed miserably. Later, when the comedians talked about information in their respective towns, Double Higashi's Daisho Osho revealed a shocking sighting, saying, 'Choi Hong-man is in Sekime-Takanodono,' and 'He was playing Garou at a pachinko parlor, looking at the data.' This brought bursts of laughter from Chidori. Also, when Cell Light Spa's Kengo Osuga mentioned a love hotel in Tanimachi 9-chome, saying, 'They have all-you-can-eat Umaibo,' Daigo also revealed his experience of being asked for an autograph, saying, 'The auntie at the love hotel properly asked me to sign,' which Iguchi countered with, 'That's not allowed,' filling the studio with laughter.
In the final game, 'Panko-kui Challenge on a Portable Shrine,' Iguchi rode on a portable shrine carried by the newcomers, but because of the intense shaking, he couldn't reach the bread at all. Oda Ueda's Shiho Ueda, seeing this, said, 'I'll do it!' and climbed onto the portable shrine, turning it into chaos. Iguchi ended up complaining until the very end, saying, 'What is this?' and 'I really hate this.' Pay attention to Iguchi as he is consumed by the 'Osaka-style' he dislikes so much and gradually falls apart.

The program also broadcast a segment titled 'I Might Just Say It Straight—Rinapippi's Hall,' where Rinapippi of Linda Color ∞ performs fortune-telling on celebrities using tarot cards. This time, she told Iguchi's love fortune after he lamented, 'I want to know what kind of person suits me' and 'What kind of encounters I'll have.' Rinapippi started the fortune-telling with a very novel method of using ChatGPT to determine how to lay out the cards. When she interpreted the card representing 'the present,' she pointed out, 'It's unstable right now. You can't balance it well with work.' When asked by Nobu, 'Is there no chance you'll get cozy with a co-star?', Iguchi confessed, 'I've decided not to drink even with my seniors.' He surprised Chidori by revealing, 'Someday, they'll get angry, won't they? Old-timers tend to be like that. Chidori-san is the limit, and anyone above that... Even when I was invited by Yū Shinagawa (Shinagawa Shoji), I proudly turned it down.'
Also, Rinapippi pointed to a card with a picture of people fighting with sticks and interpreted, 'Encounters... in a place where you fight?' When Daigo guessed, 'Since Iguchi is always in the vortex of trouble, maybe it's a workplace?', Nobu flashed on something, saying, 'Iguchi, you're doing a program with FRUITS ZIPPER, right?' He pointed to the card labeled 'DEATH' and predicted a sinister future, saying, 'If you lay a hand on FRUITS ZIPPER, you're DEAD...'
