Welcome to Kevin's English Room podcast!
That was pretty funny. That was pretty good.
Like, that was funny, but I don't think that was good.
You know what I was trying to do there?
No, actually no. What was that?
Like, it was kind of scratchy.
I did like this. I did two little... I did two playful things.
I was like, the very beginning, I was like, "Go, go, go, Kevin's! Welcome to..."
You know what that is, right?
It's a kind of... like racing things, right?
No, actually...
What was that? Like, stretching things?
Yeah, like, the voice is like repeated in a very short time.
You know what that is?
Like, yeah, I think I do, but I'm not sure.
Both of them was actually that.
Welcome to Kevin's English Room podcast!
I don't know what the effect is called, but that was it.
I forgot to record my face again.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, do it next time.
All right.
By the way, is this effective? Your Harugen heater?
It is.
Is it really hot? Good?
Yeah.
You want to buy one?
No, no, no, no, no. I had one, but it was like two bars or something, like two Harugen bars.
Oh, like the square type?
Yeah, the square type. And this is like one, and I was wondering if it's powerful enough to get you going.
Like, for using in a room like this, that's...
Too small?
Yeah, enough.
Oh, enough?
Yeah, one little bath.
Oh, okay.
And I'm using this while I'm sitting here.
Gotcha. So you're getting it directly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gotcha.
That's kind of enough for me.
This heater looks like you're cute. It's round and like, it's simple.
Yeah, yeah.
It's kind of cute.
Thank you.
I can put it under my desk, actually.
Oh.
Well, not now, but...
Right, right, right.
Before I did.
The size is just right.
Okay.
So I can heat my legs.
Yeah.
And heating legs are important.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, why?
Because...
For your body?
Like, legs should be heated up, and head should be like...
Cooled down?
Cooled down.
Oh, really?
That's what...
I didn't know that.
It said.
That's what it said.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Okay, so...
All right.
Podcast and request.
My name is Koharu.
My name is Koharu.
I always enjoy studying.
This is my debut on the podcast request.
Thank you.
Yay.
Yay.
03:00
Please tell us what you bought in 2020 and what was the best.
We'll continue to support you.
I think, um...
Yama-chan, I think you bought a lot of things because you went to a new house.
I did, I did.
You got, like, new gadgets, I think.
I don't know if...
Speakers.
Yeah, speakers and...
What do you think?
But basically, I bought speakers.
And...
Your Amiami rack?
That's new.
No, it's not new.
Oh, is that new?
Oh, okay.
I bought when I was in Kyoto.
Oh, okay.
I bought a little plant.
Green plant?
Yeah.
But basically, that's all.
And I bought these sponges.
Yeah, for, like...
For Qon.
Yes.
That's it.
Oh, so that's about it?
Yeah.
Okay.
But I moved to the new place.
Right, right.
So that, if you say that's kaimono, that's a...
That would be a very big...
Biggest thing.
So what would be the...
Uh...
The best purchase you've decided?
Must be speakers.
Speakers?
Yeah.
How is your speakers?
How much was your speakers?
It was like...
A little over 100,000 yen.
That's pretty...
150,000 yen.
So I bought three speakers.
Yeah.
Two speakers and one subwoofer.
Subwoofer.
In total, that was 150,000 yen.
Oh, nice.
With all the cables and little things.
Heavy shopping.
Yeah, it was.
It was the biggest one this year.
Yeah.
And it's really, really nice.
Really, really nice?
Yeah, it's completely different when you listen with these equipment.
Versus your headphones?
Headphones, yeah.
Or like usual computer.
Computer speakers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
That's completely different.
Do you usually listen to music with your headphones or like earphones or what do you use?
Like on the go when you listen to music?
On the go, I use my little earphones.
But I actually don't listen.
You don't listen to music?
Like in a train.
I don't listen.
I just...
You're a non-technology guy, so you're like...
Right.
I have like Spotify application in my very smartphone.
But I actually don't listen to the music when I'm in train.
Like I'd rather read something.
Like see the world.
Like the windows.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I do.
Do you listen to the music?
Yeah, I do.
I put my earphones on all the time.
I love to consume information like podcasts or music of course while I'm on the go.
So most of the time I would have something in my ears.
06:03
Yeah.
Okay.
Or you're editing something, right?
Right.
Editing videos is another thing I do.
That absolutely, I need earphones for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So like for me, the biggest purchase...
The best purchase, right?
The best...
The number one thing I bought this year was...
I gotta say, Macbook Pro.
Oh yeah.
Right.
Macbook Pro.
Right.
That was like...
I think.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's huge, huh?
That's huge.
It's definitely a positive ROI.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
How good is that?
Well, like...
It's the one I used to use before the new one was the 2013 Macbook Air.
When you entered the university, right?
Right.
Right.
And that was getting a little bit old.
So I was not able to use my laptop without a power charger for like two or three hours.
Three or three hours is the longest it'll last.
Yeah.
And then you're gonna need a charging cable.
But now I can go for like two or three days without a charger.
Oh, really?
Two or three days?
That is amazing.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That is...
Wow.
Okay.
So I'm very happy with that.
Yeah.
That's really convenient.
Wow.
Okay.
And I'm also...
I'm also thinking that Neuro Hikari...
Okay.
I have not had my Wi-Fi ready yet.
Okay.
But it will be like probably like near the end of December.
Okay.
Near the end of this.
You did a Koji before?
Yeah.
There's two Kojis.
I've done one and I have not done the final Koji, the second one.
I'm guessing that's gonna be a really satisfying purchase too.
Okay.
I mean, have Hikari Wi-Fi in your house.
Yeah.
So...
What's the point having Hikari?
Oh, the Aikawa service.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
So that's why.
Yeah.
You have to have...
I have to have a very strong internet connection.
Right.
Right.
Right.
So that's why.
Yeah.
I actually have Softbank Hikari here.
Mm-hmm.
And it's really fast.
It's fast.
And I'm feeling like it's really comfortable and convenient.
But I know that Neuro is twice...
As fast.
Yeah.
Compared to my Softbank Hikari.
Oh.
So it's gonna be really good.
Uh-huh.
Like...
09:00
Conversation.
Yeah.
Through all the internet.
Yeah.
I hope so.
Yeah.
Is it like...
I'm thinking like if...
Even if I have...
If I have a very fast Wi-Fi, do you think the other side, the other end, the customer,
has a really slow Wi-Fi?
Do you think that'll like mess up the conversation maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's just your side.
It's my side, right?
So...
You can talk like as usual, like this.
Yeah.
And then I like will be like...
If they're using like 4G or 3G or something like that, right?
Yeah.
Like my phone.
Using my phone then...
This is actually the first time you've admitted that your phone sucks.
This is the first time you did that actually.
No, no, no.
No.
Actually not.
I'm...
All right.
Forget about that.
Yeah.
You didn't have any backup plans for that, right?
I can connect to my Wi-Fi here.
Okay.
You know what I'm talking?
Yeah.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Look at this.
I can connect to my Softbank Hikari Wi-Fi.
Okay.
That means it's really fast.
Okay.
What if you go outside?
How fast is that?
I don't use.
You don't use?
Fine for me.
I read.
That makes no sense.
That makes zero sense at all.
Yeah.
Okay.
And that was all 10 minutes.
Yeah.
So we moved to the new place.
Each other.
Yeah.
That was so...
That's pretty big.
Like if you consider that as a purchase, that would probably be the number one for us.
Yeah.
Thanks so much.
I mean, I'm not sure you understand me.
Yeah.
I mean, your place is like fucking nice.
Yeah.
Every time I go to your place, I'll be like, "Oh my God.
It's really close to the station.
The station's really big."
Yeah.
You have three Starbucks at your station.
You know what that means?
Yeah.
That's too much.
You know what that means?
No, no, no.
But that's too much.
It's a really good city.
That's a really good city.
That's simply too much.
I don't need three Starbucks.
Do you go to Starbucks?
I don't, but...
Wait.
Out of the coffee chains, where do you go?
Like you've got Dotonboru, Ex-Sheror, Starbucks.
Which one do you like?
Actually, I don't go to those coffee, because I can make my coffee by myself.
But I...
Yeah.
I went to three Starbucks.
Yeah.
Oh, you went to all of them?
Yeah.
I tried one, tried one, tried one.
Why?
Because I didn't know the city.
I didn't know the town or the station.
Oh, the city.
Okay.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
I want to talk about your city.
I want to talk about your city.
Okay.
Of course.
All right.
Thank you again guys.
Koharsan, thank you so much.
