Yes guys, welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
So you've, you've um, you took those seeds out of the paper, the bag, and then you
now placed the ones with the roots on top of a jar. Yes. Filled with water.
Just touching the root. Yeah. So this is expected to grow, the roots are expected to grow down the
jar into the water. Right. Make stems. And uh, maybe a stem is going to be growing up. Uh-huh.
Why is it, why is the one with the avocado
like really like white? Oh, because it's, there's a little uh, rocks, rocks inside pebbles. It's a
kind of chemical. Oh really? So it's not just a decoration? No, no, no, it's not decoration,
it's for keep this water clean. Oh. Not being like, like, rotten. Okay. So you don't need that for the
avocado. And mango? Sorry, mango. I don't know. You don't know. Gotcha. Well let's hope that this thing,
you know, becomes healthy. Yeah, yeah. Strong, right. Like in the future. It's getting, uh,
not today, but it's getting hotter and spring is gonna come, so. Uh-huh. Hoping. You know,
I haven't noticed this, but like, I, your, did your green, did you expand your selection of green?
I think you've gotten, I think you've doubled the amount of plants in your room. Since your last
thing. Yeah. Yeah. Am I accurate? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not sure if it's double or. You've got lots of
green in your room. You know, they are also growing, so. Right, it's becoming bigger. I bought some and
they are growing. What? Yeah. What is this? That's Spanish moss. Are they alive? Yeah. Damn. They are.
They're alive? Yeah. With this? After watering. You, really? Yeah. Where's the heart? I know,
they're like, where, how is this connected? Right, that's a little special plant called air plant.
Uh-huh. They don't have any root. They don't have any stems. Uh-huh. Well, they can
breathe from their leaves and take water from their leaves.
All right. Yeah, so, yeah, back to your question. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The original question was,
03:04
when you go to the zoo, which animal excites you? This is the question from Mei-san. She said
gorilla. And I kind of understand how a lot of people are attracted to gorillas. Do you know
that there's an Ikemen gorilla? What? Yeah, search Ikemen gorilla for me. Yeah, there's an Ikemen gorilla
somewhere in Japan. But actually, he actually really is Ikemen. Really? Yeah, I saw the picture. And
it's really good looking. This guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's really good looking.
Dandy. Dandy, right? Dandy guy. I know, right?
Wow. Like a Hollywood star. He's got a really deep face. Yeah, like a bit. Yeah.
The gorilla is your choice? No, not gorilla. For me, I would go with
like really furry spiders. Big furry spiders. Spiders? That are like, yeah, because they
disgust me. That's why it turns. Right. Like I kind of not hate watch, but like disgust watch.
The spiders, because I hate them. And you get excited.
Like kowai mono mitasa. Okay, okay. Like I know I'm safe from them because they're caged. So like,
but I get to look at them. Wow. Like really up close through a glass. Like kind of like,
kind of like, it, yeah, it tingles inside. Like when I, when I look at them up close, especially
those like really thick, thick armed ones, you know, like, yeah. Not like the little
bony spiders. Like the, yeah, the moment they're really like, it's got, it's got muscles in their,
in their legs. Yeah, yeah. Those spiders. Yeah. That are creepy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess.
Oh, okay. Overall. Like little to kage things. Wait, uh, spider is a hachure, right? No.
What do you call those? Are they not hachure? Oh, sorry.
06:00
They are, uh, sessoku doubutsu kumo.
You know, they're not insect. Okay. They're not got hachure. Okay. So it doesn't have to be hachure
or not. It's, um, it just has to be disgusting. Yeah. Right. Like scary. Scary. Right. From my
point of view. So I think that's what I would say. Okay. The one that scares me the most is the one
that really turns you on. Yeah. Excite me. How about you? Elephant. Elephant. What would you love?
Why? The big one. The big ones. Why? I don't know, but it just turns me on. Like it's big and
I like seeing them moving, like walking, like, you know, gentle, slow, but grand. Really?
Just, uh, just a one point English here. Okay. When you say, I don't want you to mistakenly
remember this, that turns you on. Turn me on is usually used in a sexual way. So like,
we gotta be careful about that. Right. Like how you said it towards the giraffe and the elephant
doesn't really make sense. Okay. Because like with the gorilla thing that made sense a little bit
because like it has a human element to it. It has a dandiness to it. I implied a little bit of a,
yeah, not sexuality, but like the, yeah, I feel that the human essence to it. Right. That's why I,
with a, with a sense of joke, I said, turns me on, but like, that doesn't purely mean excites you.
Okay. It has a sort of like a sexual meaning to it. So like you gotta be careful about that.
Right. Thank you. Right. No, I thought it directly means to that being excited. Right. Yeah. It has
a different color. I didn't understand that it was a kind of joke. Okay. I have to be careful. Right.
So right. That doesn't make sense to a draft. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Okay. So I've
got excited. You got excited. Right. These big and huge animals. So it doesn't really,
so it just has to be huge. Yeah. Like whales. How about whales? Oh, whales. That's not turning
off. No, that's not turning off like that. Like whales, you know,
they do, but not as much as the elephants. Yeah. They have a different, they've got a different
element. Like they woke and, you know, they're not speak, but, you know, have little communication.
Right. They do. They do. Right. Something like I do. So I feel that sympathy. Maybe you, you,
09:09
you've been on a elephant before, right? Yeah. You have the experience. Yeah. On there. Right.
Thailand and Thailand. Yeah. How was the, uh, the skin and the, the feel really hard, the hard,
the skin was really, really hard. Like it was kind of like wood, like this hard. Yeah. And really,
really thick and, and yeah, it was really hard. Did it feel like a knife wouldn't go through it?
Maybe not. That's pretty hard. Very hard. And the skin itself was really thick, I think.
So if you put knife on it, you cannot reach into that, that inside, I think.
So humans wouldn't be able to bite through it. Never. Never. It's really hard. It's tough.
Strong. Okay. That was a good question. Have you ever been to zoos? I have. I've been to zoos.
In Japan or? Yes. In Japan. Several times actually.
It's fun. They're fun. They are a good topic populator. Oh yeah.
Have you ever been to, oh, it's 10 minutes, but have you ever been to zoo in the United States,
American zoo before? Do you remember? I mean, I've been to an aquarium. Aquarium. Okay. But
I don't think I've been to a zoo. Not that I remember. I don't think I remember.
A zoo. There is, yeah, there are zoos. Okay. Yeah. No, I thought there must be some differences
between Japanese and American zoos. It's like huge and, yeah. Probably bigger. Yeah. But I don't
think it's that different. But not sure. I don't remember. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. Wow.
That was a good topic. Right on. Thanks for listening guys. Thank you. Bye-bye.
