Welcome back to another episode of Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Woohoo!
So guys, I hope you're having a great day.
I want to talk to you about this, I'm in your room right now looking at your avocado seeds.
Yep.
And it looks like you've stabbed them from all angles.
You've got this little picks from four directions.
Yeah.
And it looks like you're using that to float those seeds just above the surface level of water.
Yes.
And I see a root in one of them.
So I see three avocado seeds and one of them is growing roots.
Look at this.
It looks like a success.
Look at this.
Oh yeah, nice.
Nice and long.
Yeah, and look at this side.
There's two roots.
There's two more coming out.
Yeah.
Nice.
How's that working out for you?
Great.
Good?
Yeah.
Good?
What's with the sticks?
What are they for?
That's right.
As you mentioned, it's for floating this seed.
Only for floating?
Yeah.
Okay.
So it shouldn't be like dipped in the water.
Like the whole seed shouldn't be inside so that they cannot be breathing.
I remember you had six of them.
Yeah.
Where's the other three?
Actually, I haven't checked.
Is it still in the Ziploc bag?
Yeah.
Let's see.
Yeah, let's check out.
One of them is...
Oh yeah.
It made a crack.
Yeah, it should...
And it's got this little...
...in the jar.
...little baby root in the middle.
And the other one has not cracked yet.
But looks like it may start to crack because I can see like a little, like a sharp kind
of thing coming out.
Right.
I have to wrap it and have to keep it in a Ziploc bag a little bit longer.
Wow.
It's nice.
Yeah, they are.
Can I take a picture of this again and post it on Instagram?
Of course.
This one.
Yeah, like that one.
Yeah, that one.
Yeah.
For sure.
Yeah, I still haven't posted your last one.
I got to post that one first.
Yeah.
And I have to wait two weeks or a long weeks.
Yeah, I got to wait two weeks.
Yeah.
It shouldn't suddenly just...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Take care of that.
Right.
And look at the left one, the mangoes one.
Oh, wait.
Where's the mango?
Oh, this is the mango one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
It looks so black now.
Yeah.
It's like all like beat up.
Yeah.
03:00
Is this supposed to be like that?
Yeah.
I mean, I do see kind of a root sticking out.
But...
It's growing.
It's like rotten.
It looks rotten from the top, man.
Yeah.
It's like spots that are like looks rotten.
You know, actually I have to put all the skins out.
You got to put the skin out?
At the beginning, I had to...
Oh, you have to...
I should have...
...shrinked it off?
Yes, we put all these skins out.
And it should be looks like this.
But you know, it's naked.
Naked skin.
Yeah.
Ah.
But it was really, really hard to scratch all the skins out.
So I couldn't, you know...
I see.
That's why.
Took out.
So that's the reason why it's a little bit...
But it looks like it's still, you know, trying to grow.
Yeah, it's growing up.
So...
The skin.
Nice.
Okay.
Yeah.
Look at this.
There's a new leaf of Monstera.
It's a new leaf, actually.
So what was that?
Monstera?
Yeah, that's the name of this plant.
Okay.
Monstera.
Monstera.
There's a new leaf.
This is...
I don't think audience is familiar with Monstera.
Monstera?
We've never introduced them in the podcast.
So like, I'm...
Right?
Right.
Yeah, you've got this little huge thing.
Huge leaf.
Blend.
What do you...
So Monstera.
Monstera.
Monstera.
Mm-hmm.
So you've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven leaves out.
Yes.
And the seventh one's pretty new then.
Fairly new.
Seventh leaf?
Right, right, right.
This is the new one.
You got a new leaf.
Mm-hmm.
Is that the...
It's really like actually a common plant.
As in, you know, the plant for rooms.
Okay.
So you don't need that much of a sunlight to grow then.
Not that much.
Not that much.
You know, in my room, I don't have that much sunlight, actually.
But it's okay for them.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
And it's really famous for this typical kind of shape.
Right, the shape is really interesting.
You know, it's really original looking.
Yeah.
Kind of.
It looks like someone like ate the middle, you know?
You know what I'm talking about?
Like...
Yeah.
Like when you connect the tips, it's a hole.
But like there's a round opening in the middle.
So it looks like some bug ate it or something.
Right.
It's interesting.
Yeah.
It looks cute to me.
Yeah, well, yeah, the leaves are kind of cute.
Yeah.
The little ones still haven't made a hole yet.
Right.
It's only for big leaves.
The mature guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:00
They can get their ears pierced.
Yeah, right.
That's nice.
Right.
That's cool.
And also I've got little flowers, actually.
Flowers?
On my lemon tree.
Okay.
You've got a lemon tree?
Yeah.
Botanical garden, right?
This is a...
Look at...
It's actually dying, but look at this.
Wow, is that what?
Is that lemon?
Yeah, it's lemon flower.
Yeah, there's a little...
How do you call them?
A lot of Tsubomis.
Okay.
Wow.
Here, here, here, here, here.
The Tsubomi, lemon Tsubomi this is?
Yes, yes.
Nice.
It's going to be the blooming after like one week.
It looks really sharp right here.
Yeah, I shouldn't touch them.
It hurts.
It hurts?
Can I touch it?
If you want.
Oh, yeah.
It's sharp, huh?
The real one.
It's sharp.
Yeah.
So this is a lemon tree.
Lemon tree.
Nice.
And this is the...
What was that?
Parsley.
Oh, okay.
Which...
Parsley.
This is so...
It looks kind of...
It's now dead.
Oh, it's now dead.
Okay.
Sadly.
I couldn't...
Okay.
...malice him.
Do you...
How do you feel when a plant dies?
So sad.
You're so sad.
Me, myself, is kind of dying.
Really?
Kind of like a family member or something like that?
No, it's me, myself.
It's you.
Something inside me.
Part of you.
Yeah.
Got you.
My arms.
I understand.
You have lots of...
You've really separated yourself a lot.
You've got so many plants right now.
Yeah.
You've diversified yourself.
Diversified?
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all me inside, actually.
You're a little me, right?
Right.
You risk hedged so much of your plants.
Right.
So that even if I will die...
Yeah, you got all these plants.
Have you went to the...
...kuyakusho?
Make sure you get...
They need an address, right?
They need to live here.
I have to pay tax.
You have to pay tax, of course.
And you have to...
You got to do a kakutei shinkoku for every one of them, right?
They're producing the oxygen, right?
Yeah, right.
They're consuming H2Os.
Botan.
Modern, right.
Kakutei.
Are you going to get more plants, Gawan?
Yeah, I hope so.
Because to me it looks like you already have enough of them.
So like...
Yeah, I will...
I told you before, I want to make my ruins like...
...jungle.
But like...
You know.
Isn't that like inappropriate for a rent apartment?
I mean...
Yeah.
09:01
Like, won't that damage some sort of like...
No.
Won't that give like a negative effect on the...
No.
I don't make any...
Condition of the room? No?
I don't make any like harmful...
Maybe like too moisture?
And maybe start to like...
...kabiru?
Might be if you...
If it will be like really unorganized jungle.
That could be.
Because you have to water all the plants, right?
That means your room will be filled...
When you water them, filled with mists and...
Splashes of water.
Kind of like not...
A desirable condition for a room, right?
Maybe.
You know, I have a...
This little...
Humid...
Humid...
Humidity...
Humidity...
Humidity...
Yeah.
How do you call that?
Humid...
Humidity...
Humidity...
I don't know how you...
I don't know how you call that.
Humid...
Humidity...
Humidity...
I don't even know it in Japanese.
It's shitsudokei.
Shitsudokei?
Humid...
Because it's a scale of weight.
Maybe like humid scale?
Like humid...
Humidity?
I don't know.
Humidity scale?
Humidity scale? I don't know.
So I keep the humidity inside of this room...
Stable.
What's it right now?
75.
That's pretty high, innit?
It is.
Right.
It's high.
It's high, right?
Or maybe because we are in the room and talking...
And I made a coffee here, so...
That could be.
Might be.
But it's really high, though.
35 is high.
Because usually I keep like 50.
Wow. 25%.
Yeah, it's really high.
Actually, I haven't seen that high.
Wow, then we got a state of emergency.
Yeah, right now it's 75, 73.
So maybe it was because of the...
The coffee was so close.
Yeah, maybe.
That is a very high likelihood.
Yeah.
Because it's really high.
75 is really like...
When it's raining.
Yeah.
So that was your report.
Mid-report on the avocado seeds.
Yep.
I hope one day these guys can show their little green leaves
and have their own lives, you know?
Start to, you know, fulfilling their happiness
12:00
and look for the meaning of their life.
You know, it's like how I did and you are right now.
Yeah.
You know, they're your children, right?
You got to teach them the real life.
Yeah, of course.
You got to teach them rejection.
You got to teach them the reality of...
I mean, some of them will be moved to the abroad maybe.
Right, right.
They need to start learning the international, right?
Dreaming for the city and maybe go to the left for somewhere.
You got to teach them love, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would be really funny if you like sat down and be like,
"Hey, I got to talk to you about something."
When a man meets woman, you know, they start to have feelings.
And when they...
It's called love, okay?
You're with a plant and then like your plant's just like not reacting at all.
It's kind of funny if you imagine it.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Have a great rest of the day or night.
Bye-bye.
