Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Yes!
Alright!
Hello!
Another week!
Hello!
How are you man?
Great as always!
Great as always!
Yes!
Uh, 12 o'clock?
Yes it is!
On a Wednesday today?
It's a Wednesday today.
A Wednesday, uh...
How do you feel?
A fairly sunny Wednesday.
Well...
A little bit cloudy.
A little bit cloudy today.
It's raining tomorrow.
Oh really?
Right, yeah, so we gotta be careful about that.
You have to be careful about that because you're moving with your bike and...
Exactly!
My bicycle.
Yeah.
Right.
How would you do if it rains?
So if it rains, you can't do really...
We can't really do anything about it.
You just have to...
You just have to get like, yeah...
On a train?
Ride under the rain.
Ride under the rain?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Ride on a bike?
Ride, yeah, ride the bicycle while it's raining.
Wow!
That will be, like, tough.
It is tough.
Because you will be...
Life's tough, man.
I'm not talking about that, but...
Because you can take a train if you want.
Yeah, that's...
Try to avoid not being wet.
Right, right, but I don't want my bicycle to just...
Just like, hanging around just in the middle of nowhere, right?
You know what I mean.
Middle of nowhere, yeah.
Where do you park that bike usually?
What do you mean?
So if it's YouTube in Kake-chan's house, right?
Yeah.
Right.
So why not leave it at Kake-chan's house?
Oh, like the place where it has a roof?
Right, if I could find one, that might be an option.
But at the moment, I don't know any place where there's a roof and can park my bike
overnight.
Yeah.
Yeah, what about your house?
Yeah, it's got a roof.
Oh, then you can park it.
Yeah, I can.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That's nice then, no?
Oh, okay, I see what you're talking about.
You're talking about if it's raining, are you still gonna use your bicycle to go to...
Right.
Right.
Okay, so I thought the question was like, if I leave the house with a bicycle and when
it's time to go home, it's raining, what do you do?
Ah, okay.
So to that answer, I was like, it's guts, right?
Right, you have to go.
Right, I have to go back.
I brought my bicycle with me.
Yeah.
I have to take it back home.
Okay, I see now.
But right, if it's like in the morning and I'm ready to go outside and it's raining,
I'm not gonna take the bike.
Okay.
Right, right.
Yeah, I'm taking the train.
Okay, great, great.
I'm kind of relieved.
Because you're saying that, "I don't care about rain.
I will be wet."
No, no, no, no, no.
No, I'll take the train.
I'll use an umbrella and take the train and not get wet.
Okay.
That's better.
I'd rather not get wet.
I'd rather be dry, right?
03:00
Okay.
Right, if I had the option.
Okay.
Right.
You know, it could be, like, think about it's you.
My personality, right?
Yeah.
I could, I could be choosing the...
Yeah, like bring the hair dryer and go anywhere.
It could be, like...
Right, right.
Yeah.
Get that blow dryer out.
Yeah.
Get like a full bath towel and a blow dryer in my backpack, right?
Right, right.
And then...
Okay.
That's better.
Yeah, I know where that's coming from.
Okay.
Yeah, I have the tendency of doing these things, right?
Yeah, because you have the guts.
Yeah, I do.
And soul.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
So, I was about to start my restaurant, my dessert shop.
Yes.
You know how we have contracted with Takanashi New-gyo?
Mm-hmm.
And then they delivered us milk every, like, every other day, right?
We just have to, we just order from this web system, just like 30 milk, and then it delivers
in the morning, right?
Right.
Before I opened the store, my plan was to buy a fucking huge backpack.
And then go to a supermarket, and then put a fuckload of milk in my backpack, and then
ride the bicycle and get, go to the, right, and go to the store.
That was my actual plan.
Actual, that was my actual plan of running, operating a store.
Really?
Yeah, isn't that amazing?
Wow, that's amazing.
Huge.
Wow.
Right?
Yeah.
Because you have to buy, like, 30 bottle milk.
Right, right, right.
Like, every morning.
Right.
But, like, at the time before the opening, I didn't think it was going to be that much
of a hit.
So, like, I just thought, like, okay, maybe, like, five or six milk would be enough.
Yeah.
That's still a lot, I'm sure.
Yeah.
But, like, yeah, I didn't think I needed, like, 30 of them.
I just, yeah.
I was thinking about getting, like, six or something, right?
But still.
Still, right?
Still, it's crazy.
Wow.
Right.
You have guts.
Yeah.
Yeah, you do.
All right.
I wanted to talk about your breakfast.
Oh.
What are you eating right now?
It's my special...
Your special...
Lunch, brunch.
Uh-huh.
It's made from this, I mean, oatmeal.
Right.
And...
Your usual breakfast, right?
Yeah.
Oatmeal.
Oatmeal and natto and kimchi and meat.
Yeah.
And with a little goma-abura.
Oh.
Mixed all together.
Yeah.
Well, you know, to me, that sounds...
That doesn't sound like a bad meal.
Of course it's good.
Yeah.
It is.
You're saying that some people hate it.
Right.
Some people hate...
Eat these oatmeal with these salty things.
06:00
Because, you know, oatmeal has a little taste of little...
A little bit milky, a little bit.
Mm-hmm.
Like, a little sweet taste with it.
Mm-hmm.
So...
Yeah, people...
Some people hate eating with these...
Saltier ones.
Saltier, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I...
Mm-hmm.
But it's good for me.
Okay.
It's really good.
Like, it's just like rice.
Mm-hmm.
It's good.
Does kimchi and natto go well?
Oh, yeah.
It does?
Haven't you ever tried this?
No.
I should.
Wow.
Is it like...
Is there other meals that have that combination in it?
Rice.
Rice?
Kimchi natto-don?
Yeah.
You really haven't...
I've never even heard of it.
Really?
Mm-mm.
Well, I think every...
Really?
Mm-mm.
Sounds like a really strong combination now.
Well, yeah, but I...
It's not like that strange thing...
Really?
...to do in Japan, I believe.
It's not that rare?
I think so.
Really?
Yeah.
So if you go to like a...
Like a teishoku...
Teishoku?
Teishoku yasan?
Mm-hmm.
They might have like a kimchi natto kind of combination food.
Like, it's not something that, you know, being served in a restaurant.
Oh, really?
It's just...
It's like homemade.
Yeah, homemade.
If you have nothing, but you have to eat dinner, you know, like generally we have only rice
and natto and kimchi in our fridge and just do it.
Eat it.
Oh, okay.
Why?
I didn't know that.
Oh, really?
You should try that.
It's a really good combination.
Mm-hmm.
Tastily, you know, like...
Eiyoso-teki-ni mo.
Oh, right.
Really a good combination.
Right.
You can add some egg, like low egg.
Mm-hmm.
It will be great.
That makes it better.
Wow.
I think I'll try it.
Yeah.
No, I will.
I was kind of a little bit surprised that you haven't even tried this.
Yeah, no, I've never even heard of this.
Not that special combination.
Like, not a strange combination.
I think at least.
You're also eating it with the rice.
Yeah.
Roast beef, roast beef and broccoli.
Broccoli.
Broccoli, yeah.
That's a lot of roast beef and broccoli, you know.
Really?
That's a lot.
You got like, what, nine chunks in there?
Yeah.
That's a lot of broccoli.
Is that frozen broccoli or like normal broccoli?
Normal broccoli.
Okay.
What do you mean frozen broccoli?
This is boiled.
Oh, boiled broccoli.
Yeah.
Because at Gyomusu-pa, there's a lot of these frozen vegetables.
Okay, okay.
09:00
I love them.
Okay.
But that's convenient.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I prefer the, you know, fresh broccoli.
Fresh broccoli.
Yeah.
And I made this roast beef actually.
You made it yourself?
Yeah, yeah.
It's actually, it's real simple to make it.
Really?
It's really like, you just put your meat on a saucepan and just like 10 minutes.
And after that you wrap in a foil.
Tin foil.
What?
T-I-N.
Tin foil.
Tin foil.
It's aluminum foil.
Okay, tin foil.
So wrap with the tin foil and leave it like one night.
Really?
That's it?
And yeah, that's it.
Wow, that's pretty easy.
Yeah, and tasty and have so many protein in it.
Low fat.
How much was the original meat?
Nine and a half grams.
Okay, not bad.
But it's just, you know, it's not everything, you know.
Right, right, right.
I have to check the flow.
Yeah.
So we've started this new system of like 10 minute timing system.
Yes.
Because we have not been doing a good job with timekeeping.
Right.
Right.
So.
We've been talking like for like 20 minutes or 15 minutes.
Sometimes 30.
My brain.
Yeah, I'm eating my bread right now.
So, yeah.
Right.
So that was the timing of like 10 minutes.
Yeah.
So we have to finish it.
Right.
So like right now we have to finish it now.
Yeah, we have to finish it.
But yeah.
Okay.
Can you wrap?
Okay.
How much?
How much do you have left for that?
What do you mean?
How much amount?
Is that like one?
Is that like a half of what you made or like a quarter of what you made?
A quarter.
Okay.
That's good.
Right.
Yeah, it's cheap.
Right.
You should.
I should do that too.
Yeah.
I'm more excited about that.
Yeah.
If you go to the Gyum soup or something like that.
Yeah.
You can get like much cheaper.
Oh, well.
Does it, um, hoson a lot?
Not that much?
No.
Okay.
Got it.
Not that much.
All right.
Thanks for listening guys.
Bye bye.
Yeah.
Alright, thanks for listening guys.
Bye bye.
