Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Yeeees!
There's this item that I've been considering to buy.
Shoes, huh?
No, it's a completely different one.
I guess my craving for stuff scatters all over the place.
And you are enjoying that?
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes.
What do you think about...
So there's this product I saw.
It's like glasses, normal glasses.
And you can put... there's a layer.
You can put on top of the glasses and make it a sunglass.
You know what those are? You've seen those?
I was wondering if I should get them or not.
And I wanted to ask you for an opinion.
What do you think about wearing sunglasses in general?
Yeah.
I know that's a difficult question.
That is a difficult question, you know?
You have to be like... like push yourself when you wear those things.
Do you mean it in a way of like egotistical?
Like a little bit.
I understand. I completely understand.
It's not that usual for people like me wearing those sunglasses.
So, you know.
But...
One of the biggest reasons that I would want that product.
One, when I'm riding a bicycle and stop at a red light,
I still get some like, "Oh, is that Kevin?" kind of thing.
That's that.
And then two, near my house is a university.
Which then leads to like, I really don't want my nearest station to be like out there in public, right?
Yeah, of course.
Right? So to prevent that, I want that to happen.
So, you know, right now wearing a cap is the solution.
Okay.
Right? That's my...
Wearing a mask and...
Wearing a mask and cap, that's the solution right now.
But like, the thing about wearing a cap is like it really like, it leaves a mark on your head.
Like it changes the whole hairstyle and stuff like that.
So that's one.
And another thing is that you have to always bring that, bring your cap.
I mean, it's not that bad, but you still have to bring them, right?
Yeah.
So, a good thing about sunglasses is that you just have to put a mag...
03:02
It's a little thin layer that you have to carry with you.
And then you can slip it on anytime and you can slip it off anytime you want, right?
So that's good.
But the bad side is, downside is, you would look very egotistical.
Like you're like, "Okay, are you a fucking Genoji motherfucker?"
Like that kind of like, I don't want that to be there.
That's one.
Yeah.
And then like, two, like wearing it not in the sun feels kind of awkward, you know?
True.
Right.
It's like a little "ayashi."
Yeah.
So that's my Ken and Oso.
Yeah.
What do you think about that, man?
It's like really like very sunny summer day.
Yeah.
You know, it's not very natural.
Very natural.
It's cool.
Yeah, I understand.
Right.
But if you were like today, like whether...
Yeah, right now, right?
Right now.
It's like nighttime.
Yeah.
You know, it'll be like...
Really kind of awkward?
A little, yeah.
Right.
And two, like, pretending to be like cool guy.
Yeah.
You know, that's a little embarrassing.
Yeah.
To be seen like that.
Yeah.
You know?
So...
But in the daytime...
In the daytime, yeah, it makes sense, right?
No problem.
Right, right, right.
True.
Right.
But I think it's really convenient if it can be like you can put it on or put it out.
Right.
Like...
You can adjust.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, so I was wondering.
Just wanted to hear your opinion on that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like me, I don't wear those sunglasses except like really hot summer day.
Oh, yeah?
Or like when I'm in like beach side.
Yeah.
Or like when I drive.
Yes, yes.
You know?
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
That's your usual reason for wearing sunglasses.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So...
Okay, well thank you for that.
I'll see where my feelings go.
But it's really important to you that, you know, avoid all attention to keep your daily
life healthy.
Yeah, I don't want to sound like...
I don't want to sound egotistical but...
Yeah, of course.
Don't.
Another product I've been...
My good friend.
Okay.
Fogu-chan.
Oh, yeah?
I met him the other day.
Oh, nice.
He was very genki.
Oh, yeah.
He was very...
I'm so happy to hear that.
He was...
Yeah, he's been going to the gym.
Wow!
He's like really pumped, bro.
Really?
Yeah.
I think he has more muscle than I do.
Really?
Yes.
Than you do?
Yeah.
Wow.
I can even imagine.
Like he was like a little like thin...
06:00
He was thin, yeah?
Yeah.
But yeah, he recommended me a product where digital key...
Digital key?
You convert your house into a digital key.
Oh, yeah.
Like so all you need is a smartphone to unlock the door.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the product.
Curio.
Yeah, I know that.
QRI.
Oh, you know that product?
Yeah.
What do you think about that product?
Like I don't...
It's not necessary to me.
Okay.
Like I don't need it because I have a physical key.
Yes.
And I'm not going to share my key to like anybody.
So you know, it's not necessary to me, but...
What about the convenience of it?
What do you mean?
Like, so the thing I hate the most is, okay, I come back to my house.
Yeah.
And then I got to get my keys, right?
Yeah.
They're not always in my pocket.
So I have to get my backpack out.
Okay.
And then like open the zipper, look for the key and then boom.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So that's a little bit of a pain.
Okay.
If I could just, I always have my smartphone in my pocket.
So if I could just like push several buttons on the screen, I like the door, that'll be
very convenient.
Okay.
Well, if you think that's convenient, like more convenient than using physical key, then
like I'm not going to stop you.
But you on a personal side, don't find the value.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
You know, and also I don't have any strange in my smartphone.
So I don't have any special.
I forgot about that.
You probably won't be able to do it.
Even if you wanted to.
So you don't think that it's not like you don't find it a pain to like always be looking
for your keys and stuff like that.
Like it's in my pocket or this pocket here.
Oh yeah.
So it's not really a pain at all.
But one of my friend is using those keys to share his house actually.
Okay.
So that they don't need any physical key.
They only have to share the application or password.
That makes sense.
So anyone can come easily without anything.
So that's convenient.
That's a really good way of using it.
Yeah.
Digital key.
Yeah.
Easy to copy.
Yeah.
And make my house like a cafe or public space.
Yeah.
So.
Right.
How much is that?
Is that expensive?
It's 20,000 yen.
Wow.
It's 20,000 yen.
Really?
So I have to weigh is it worth, you know, is it worth the Mendoksai or not?
Of course not.
Do you think it's worth?
It's on the verge of winning.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
Don't you think it's Mendoksai?
Not at all.
Just this is here.
My key is here.
So it's not Mendoksai at all.
Like completely.
Oh, my.
Yeah.
OK.
Do you?
Where's your key?
It's in here.
OK.
09:00
It's in here.
So like.
Wow.
Not Mendoksai at all?
Because my smartphone is here.
Uh huh.
My key is here.
Yeah.
That's the same thing to me.
Oh, OK.
Hmm.
Wow.
Like this is my opinion.
But paying in your mind for that application is.
Way too much.
Bad deal.
Yeah.
Like for me.
All right.
Thanks for the tiny one.
I'll think about this too.
Oh, yeah.
See if it's really worth it or not.
Yeah.
Because Fuku-chan was using it.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And he recommended it to me.
OK.
I'm at the stage of considering it.
OK.
So didn't he say that was convenient?
Yeah.
He told me it was very convenient.
Very convenient.
Yeah.
OK.
Wow.
Wow.
So.
And?
But you will never be like lost your physical key.
Yeah, I've never really lost that.
I have like like twice, I think, in my life.
But like that's not very usual.
I always have.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It doesn't really happen much to me.
So.
There you go.
I just wanted to.
Get your thoughts and opinions.
How you know about this product.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hope you'll be.
Like.
Sound is enough.
Yeah.
Do.
Bye.
Right.
Thanks.

All right.
That's 10 minutes.
