Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
How you doing? How you doing? How you doing?
Alright.
So we are actually from the Kake-chan's house.
Yes.
After we recorded our YouTube.
Yes.
Yes.
And I...
It's been a while actually that I, you know, walk back to the station with you.
Oh yeah, right, right, right.
Because recently you bought your new bike.
Big news, right?
Yeah.
Big news.
And you ride that great bike.
Yeah.
To his house from your house.
Exactly.
Which is really like...
How long is that?
An hour and fifteen minutes.
To be exact.
An hour and fifteen minutes.
Wow.
Exactly.
That's really...
Isn't that distance for you?
That is...
That's a fuckload of distance.
But like, it's okay.
I can kind of really handle that distance really.
Oh really?
You get tired.
I do get tired but like, I know that I can already feel that I'll get used to it.
Oh really?
Like the first several trips were...
Yeah, I'm calling it trips, I know.
But like, first several trips were like a little bit like my legs were kind of tired.
Of course, yeah.
Like after I came back home, I sat in the bathroom, right?
Okay.
To take a shit.
And when I tried to get back up, my legs were like, oh, I can't really get up.
My thighs aren't really getting the power.
So like, yeah, I kind of really already felt the effect of like, after effect of riding
it an hour and fifteen minutes.
But I can kind of tell that I'll get used to it and I'll get the moment.
I'll get like the power and stuff like that.
Okay.
So it's kind of an exercise for you.
Yes, yes, yes.
I sweat a lot.
How do you...
Right, like you saw the back of my t-shirt, right?
After I...
The last time, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a really good exercise.
Yeah.
Definitely.
100%.
So, you know, it's getting hot.
Uh-huh.
Or suddenly, so it's going to be like tough.
Yeah.
You know, journey.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm thinking about just bringing like an extra shirt.
Yeah.
To like just to change after I get off the bicycle.
Yeah.
You know, I don't want to like, I don't want to be there sweaty all the time.
So, you know.
Right.
Right.
That's what I'm planning on doing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Tell me about your journey from your house to here.
Okay.
Do you have any like specific place or like views?
Uh, so I was...
So, what I was expecting was like...
I was expecting to see a lot of the cliche Tokyo views.
Ah, okay.
You know, I was...
Okay.
You know, that's what I was thinking.
Right.
What's going to happen?
You came through the like Tokyo city?
Yeah, I go through sort of like the Tokyo city.
Okay, okay.
But it wasn't...I go through this really big road because it's easier for me to track.
Okay.
Um, with all these thick roads, there isn't really much of an interesting architecture
03:02
anywhere nearby.
So like the path isn't that interesting.
Okay.
Not as much as I expected.
Okay.
You know.
Okay.
Okay.
But at least you can see all the cities and people a little bit.
Yes, yes, yes.
And the fresh air is great.
Fresh air, yeah.
And also, also like not being able to...smells like shit ramen, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
That's over there.
Right.
That...this is the place.
Wow, this smells really...
Yeah.
The one that smells bad.
Yeah.
You know, you're talking about...
Really tonkotsu-y.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I would hate to live near here.
Right.
But anyway, right.
Um, what was the question?
Um, so what was the question, though?
We both forgot, haven't we?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Haven't we?
Uh, about the past, about the journey from your city...
Right.
...to here.
It's...
But there's nothing like special.
Right.
Another thing that I enjoy, besides from the fresh air that I get to enjoy...
Right, right, right.
...was that I don't have to be in a crowded train, you know?
Besides from the coronavirus and shit like that, I have to like kind of hide my face
in order for me to not be disturbed.
Right.
You know?
I can always listen to music.
I don't want to...
Yeah.
I kind of like in my own zone.
Yeah.
So like I would not rather have...
Be not interact with other people.
So like...
Right.
Right.
I get to be in my own world when I'm riding my bicycle.
No one to really disturb me from.
So that's another upside.
Yeah.
I see.
That's better for you, huh?
Yeah.
It is, definitely.
Right.
People would not like saying like, "Oh, it's you."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
"Please take me photo with you."
Right, right, right.
I mean, not that I hate them so much, but like, you know, there's some times that I'm
kind of in my zone, you know, I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, right.
That's better.
I'm really excited to like use that bicycle to go to different places.
Oh.
For example, like I'm really excited to go to like, like Kawasaki or like Shibuya, Shinjuku.
Wow.
Like all those places, it's bicyclable.
So...
What do you mean?
Yeah.
Bicycle, you know what I mean?
Bicyclable.
Yeah.
Literally like everywhere, you know.
Yeah, everywhere.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Aomori, Kanshi.
Aomori, yeah.
Like maybe if I try, I could.
Yeah.
Aomori, yeah.
Why not Aomori, right?
Have you visited any places?
Like...
So far, I've...
Yes, I went to a like a shopping mall nearby.
Shopping mall?
I can't tell you which city it is.
No, of course.
Because it would give hints, but like I went to like a shopping mall.
It's about 25 or 30 minutes by bicycle.
Okay.
Yeah, it's a pretty fairly large shopping mall.
And yeah, that was fun.
It was really fun.
So you haven't been like went through all that Tokyo, like really like Tokyo.
06:02
No, no, no, no.
I have not done that yet.
Okay.
But I'm excited to do so.
Yeah.
You know.
I got a car situation here.
I got a car situation here.
Yep.
He's turning.
Yep.
He's turning.
Where is he heading?
I think we've got it.
All right.
Yep.
There you go.
He's turning.
Yep.
Okay.
Yep.
All right.
So do you do you move fast?
I move fairly fast.
I mean, it's a it's a it's not a mama charry.
It's a...
Ah, really?
It's a Rokuman-yen bicycle.
Wow.
It's a very price, right?
Right.
It's a giant.
Giant.
Yeah.
Giant.
Yeah.
It's a cross bike.
And very light.
It has like a really thin tire.
Those kind of bicycles.
Yeah.
Have you ridden ridden one of those?
Yeah, when I was a college student, I had you had a mama charry.
I remember that.
Oh, no, I did.
You own like a cross bike or something.
Yeah, it was kind of really expensive one.
Actually, my senpai gave it to me.
Okay.
Remember that?
No, the blue one.
My senpai gave it to me.
The blue one.
Did you were you using that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did.
But you know, it was like the last two years of your college life, have you?
Yeah, last two years like, like, you know, my, you know, I did daisho on my circle.
And I went when I finished when my when my daisho finished.
Uh huh.
My senpai gave it to me as a present.
I okay.
I don't I do not recall.
Oh, really?
But okay.
Yeah, I believe you.
I went, you know, but we were living in a kind of seaside town, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there are so many shiokaze and she is gone actually.
She's gone.
What do you mean?
She's gone.
I mean, she's broken.
Why from the shiokaze?
Yeah, like so many sabisabi and you know.
So just by putting it out in the air gives it a sabisabi.
Yeah, like, terrible melt away.
Really?
Yeah.
So it was it.
It wasn't because you weren't taking care of it.
I did right.
You were just taking care of it just as normally as everybody else.
Right.
But I have to, you know, I had to put that in, you know, outside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then suddenly suddenly the shiokaze.
Yeah.
Worn it off.
Yeah, that's terrible.
So she's gone.
Do you have like an estimate of how much that bicycle was?
I searched on Google.
Okay.
And it was really expensive.
Shame on you for that.
It was.
Shame on you.
Because for Googling a present from somebody.
But the reason why was that the senpai told me that this was really expensive.
So you have to check it out.
Okay, got it.
You have to see the price and you'll be surprised.
Okay, got it.
09:00
So then, okay, I'm going to search and it was like the official price of 10 million around 10 million.
Fancy.
Yeah, it was.
So that was a that was a pretty big it was it's a road bike then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Road bike rather than a cross bike.
What is the difference between road bike is the handle is like like this.
Oh, yeah.
Cross bike is just like straight road bike is like the one Naruchan was riding like that.
Right.
Right.
Mine was like that.
That's okay.
That's a road bike.
More higher class.
Really?
Cross bike.
Yeah.
Mine's cross bike.
Right.
Right.
Well, that's sad.
Yeah.
Right.
It was really nice and I could move really fast, you know.
It was really convenient for me.
So.
All right.
Well, that sucks.
Yeah.
Are you not planning to buy a bicycle right now?
Actually, I don't have my Churinja with my apartment.
So your new apartment.
Yeah.
That's bad.
So, yeah, I thought I had one, but I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
Where to put mine.
Don't you have like a nearby Churinja or something that you have?
But it costs.
Yeah.
Right.
I get you.
Yeah.
How about like in your hallway?
Can't you put that in your hallway?
Oh, it's in.
It's it's it's in in turn.
It is in turn.
It is in turn.
What do you mean?
I mean, prohibited.
Yeah.
Prohibited.
Right.
I called to the kind of guy to make sure that if I can bring to my house.
OK, but they said no, that's no.
That's mean.
That's pretty mean.
Yeah.
So.
I'm kind of jealous of you.
