Let's do the jingles man. The jingles going. I love you. I'm gonna stop you right there for a second.
That's not a jingle at all. That was more of a more of a Kimochirari kind of thing.
Alright welcome back to another episode of Kevin's English Read Podcast.
So we're gonna go back to Mei-san's request.
Yes.
Because we have no idea what to talk about. We cannot think of any topic by ourselves.
Yeah.
So we're gonna go back to the... Here we go right there.
So the next one is the last request by Mei-san.
Yes.
Okay.
Oh.
Good question.
So...
So go ahead.
This is...
Like we have to survive in the island?
Yes.
Or... Is that right?
Or what?
Or I can get out from that island?
Right. So...
Let's make it... You have to survive in the island.
Alright.
So a help is gonna come to you in 30 days.
30 days.
So you have to survive in that island for 30 days.
Without anyone.
Right. You have to survive by yourself with 3 items.
Alright.
3.
3. Right.
3.
I have a very practical answer.
Yeah. Because you're a practical man.
I'm a very practical man.
Yeah.
So what is your...
So I would do...
A knife.
Okay.
Huge knife. Big as possible.
Okay. Like what? Like this?
Like a "nokogiri" kind of...
Okay.
"Nokogiri" sized knife.
Okay. That's a "nokogiri" right?
Yeah. That's a "nokogiri".
A match.
What?
Match.
Like a... Something to start the fire.
Oh. Okay.
So you prefer match rather than lighter I think.
It's more...
It doesn't matter which one.
Okay.
Like a...
Okay. I'll do match.
Okay.
Match. Okay. Lighter. I'll go with lighter.
Okay.
Let's do lighter.
Okay. Lighter.
Oh. By the way. Is that English word?
Lighter. Yeah. Yeah.
Lighter.
Is that lighter or lighter?
No. Lighter.
Lighter.
Because it makes light.
Lights are... Lights up.
Okay. Okay.
Lighter.
Okay.
And...
Net.
What?
A net.
A net?
Yeah. A net.
How huge is that?
Like a...
Like a big as possible.
Okay.
A huge net.
03:00
Net?
Yes.
What kind of net?
So...
Talking about like...
Very...
The square...
Inside is very small.
Okay. Okay.
To catch fishes.
Oh. Okay.
Also...
To make hammock.
Oh. You want...
Hammock.
Yes. Hammock.
You want to make a hammock.
Yeah. I need somewhere to sleep on.
Okay.
Right?
Okay.
I'm gonna make a hammock that's very high up in the air.
So that...
Like...
Bears can't eat me.
Okay.
Yes.
Alright.
And like bugs can't bother me.
Are you sure?
Like the land bugs.
Okay.
I'm talking about like ants.
Yeah.
So I guess I would do that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Very practical, right?
Right. You're a very practical man.
I feel like I can actually survive.
Yeah.
Catch fishes and like...
Eat plants and...
Cook and...
Right.
How about you?
For me...
I'll bring a car.
Okay.
Fantastic.
I'll bring a car.
I should have done that.
Right.
Yeah. It's a good idea.
Right?
And I'll bring a...
Ship.
Like cruiser.
That's a pretty good idea.
Right.
He is a cruiser.
And I'll bring...
Like...
All my friends.
That's a very...
You know, I think you're even smarter.
More practical, I guess.
I changed my mind.
Okay.
I would bring an iPhone.
iPhone? Okay.
Yes. iPhone.
And...
I would bring an iPhone.
Yes.
And I would bring...
Chef Ramsey.
Chef Ramsey.
Okay.
Chef Ramsey.
Yeah. It's a good car.
Yeah.
The third one?
Yeah.
iPhone, Chef Ramsey.
Third one, I would bring...
Hilton Hotel.
Okay.
Right there.
There you go.
Oh, that's a great idea.
Yes, yes, yes.
That's really practical, right?
Yeah. Very, very practical.
Oh, yeah.
So, basically, in the no one's land, you can stay at...
Hilton, you said?
Yes, yes. Hilton Hotel.
Hilton Hotel.
And eat cuisine from...
Gordon Ramsay.
The greatest chef in the world.
Yes.
Okay.
And I would bring...
I would bring...
Okay.
And you can, like, Instagram in that...
Yes.
With your iPhone, right?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay. That would be great.
If I can't get a cell service up in the island, I would delete Gordon Ramsay and I would buy Softbank right here.
Okay.
I would bring Softbank and then I would have mobile device connected to Internet.
06:00
Make that happen.
Okay.
Well, that's a, you know, much better life.
I think it's a better life than now.
I think so. I think so.
Especially you. You like nature, right?
Right. Like living in the cruiser with all my friends.
Oh, great.
And one more thing, one more good thing to, you know, bring all my friends is they also can bring something with them.
No, I don't think so.
Why?
They can bring, like, iPhone, like, speakers or anything.
You mean like the three item rule applies to all your friends?
Right, right.
I don't think that applies to your friends.
Why?
No.
We humans are equal, right?
So they can bring three things that anything three things they want.
No, no, no.
That's not going to happen.
So all your friends is a good idea.
Like, mentally, you know?
Yeah.
30 days just alone is mentally tough.
Right.
So yeah, it's a good friend.
I would bring, like, a good friend, Fogu-chan.
Yeah.
I would bring Fogu-chan with me.
I'm sorry, I'm sure you guys don't know who that is.
Yeah, who is that?
Fogu-chan is a...
Why do you pick that guy?
Is a good friend of mine who I met in college years.
Yeah.
And I don't meet him as much.
I should say I can't meet him as much because when I line him, it never turns into a kidoku.
All right.
But like once in a blue moon, it does turn into a kidoku.
And he would go out for a drink with me.
And then that happens like once every, twice every year or so.
Oh, okay.
Or even less.
I just connect with him.
I'm very comfortable when I talk to him.
And yeah.
He's a... he wants to build a school.
Oh, yeah.
In like Africa or somewhere.
Oh, developing countries.
In developing countries.
Because he has a thesis that bullying comes from your early life educational infrastructure.
And he wants to test that out.
Pretty interesting, right?
Like he was ambitious.
Yeah, he's ambitious.
Yeah.
And now he's becoming a lawyer because to get to that point, he has to be a lawyer first.
That's what he said.
I don't know why.
Yeah.
That's Fouke-chan.
So you bring him?
Yeah, bring him.
He'd be like my friend.
Okay.
Yeah, talking about things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I guess so.
I actually once went to a Mujinto before.
Have you?
Yeah, when I was a college student.
Dude, that's pretty... that's sick, man.
How was it?
It was so, so hot.
09:02
I mean, physically hot.
Yeah.
It was summer day.
It was hot summer day.
And I went there with my two friends.
Yeah.
Or three friends.
We were four.
And it was called Tomogashima in Japan.
Okay.
It's near Wakayama Prefecture.
And we went there and did... we brought a tent.
Yes.
And some foods like rice and soy sauce kind of thing.
And survived for three or four days.
Wow.
What did you eat?
Some foods that we brought.
Uh-huh.
And some fishes with cold.
God, that sounds pretty fun.
That was pretty fun.
Really good memories.
How did you catch that fish?
With my hand.
Fishing?
No, hand.
Is that even possible?
Like, are you fast enough to catch a fish?
Yeah.
Actually, they were slow.
Oh, they were slow?
Yeah.
How big is the fish?
Well, just tiny like this, you know.
But that's good enough, right?
Yeah.
So we eat that thing.
And we also caught an octopus.
Damn.
Yeah, by hand.
That was pretty... that must have been tasty.
Yeah, that was really great.
And we, you know, burned it.
Uh-huh.
Directly.
Yeah.
And it was tasty.
So tasty.
So what was the ingredient you brought?
Soy sauce and what else?
Soy sauce and miso.
I thought... miso.
Okay.
And kareru.
Kareru.
Right.
And rice.
And many bottles of water.
Okay.
That's what we brought.
What else did you bring?
Like tools.
Tent.
Uh-huh.
Like chacaman.
Okay.
And I'm pretty sure that we brought a fishing equipment.
Yes.
And that's all.
Wow.
So is there like... if it was an emergency, can you go back?
Uh, yeah.
Was there like a ship coming in and out every day?
Right, every... twice a day, kind of like that.
Uh-huh.
So if, you know, emergency happens, we can go back to the island.
How about cellular service?
What?
How about data... like cellular data service?
Oh, data?
Like mobile service?
Oh.
Is that available?
Oh, yeah.
But it was really, really, you know...
Low.
Low.
But you can still research things on the Internet.
Yeah.
I think so.
But you didn't.
But you didn't do that.
Got it.
Because, you know, the main...
Right.
The main thing is...
Not the Internet world.
Right, right.
Right.
That sounds pretty fun.
That was fun.
That was fun.
Wow.
Yeah.
I want to do that.
Yeah, let's do that.
That's pretty fun.
Let's do that.
Was it tough?
Um, yeah.
It was tough.
In what... in what... how?
Because we... you know, actually it was really, really hard days.
Okay.
12:00
And we had to sleep in this tiny tent and we were four, like guys.
Yeah.
And we didn't have any shower, any, you know...
And, you know, every time we woke up in the morning, you know, smelled like... like, you
know...
Guys.
Guys, yeah.
Guys locker room.
Right.
So like men's locker room.
Right.
And it was so hot.
So it was tough.
But you can go to the river and wash your body, right?
Yeah, right, right.
That's right.
So like if it was... if it was more like spring, it would be better?
I guess.
Yeah, I think so.
How about winter?
What do you think would have happened if it wasn't winter?
I think we're gonna be dying.
Yeah.
So I guess spring would be like a really good time to go.
The beginning of the summer or spring.
Wow.
How much did it cost you?
The transportation?
Just we went there by car.
So...
You went there by car?
Yeah.
To a Mujinto?
Is that even possible?
No, no.
We went to the Wakayama, to the port.
Yes.
To the port.
We drove that car and we parked a car at the port and we took a boat.
Yes.
To get to the island.
Wait, did you drive that boat?
No, no, no.
Someone drove the boat.
Yeah, regular boat.
Okay, okay, okay.
So, you know, we drove the boat.
And how much did it cost?
I don't remember the, you know, four days of rental car fees.
And, you know, just one case of rice and one pack of water bottle.
And miso soy sauce.
Yeah.
That's all.
How about the ferry ride?
What?
A ferry ride?
No, just some 300 or 400 yen.
That's cheap.
Yeah.
I think that sounds like a pretty exciting.
Yes.
Exciting event.
It was.
Yeah.
It was.
Very interested in doing that.
Yeah, let's do that.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
It was quite fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Sounds fun.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, we're too nice.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
