Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Hi!
Hi, hi!
Hi, hi!
Hi!
What are you doing?
Mine is a...
It's how Americans, like...
What they do.
Okay.
When they're like...
What is that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, what about yours, man?
Yours was just as weird as mine.
Oh, really?
Hi, hi, hi.
Hi, hi, hi.
What was that?
It was just like...
Like, a friendly guy saying "hi" to the children in the park.
Hi, hi.
Do you do that?
Do you do that?
Yeah.
Hi, hi.
You gotta stop that, man.
You're freaking him out.
Especially the teacher.
No, there's no teacher.
That's more dangerous.
You're doing that while the children...
It's only the parents and children.
And children are gathering and playing together.
And then like the mothers are just chatting?
Yeah.
From a little distance.
And then you go up to the children and just go be like...
Hi, hi.
That's creepy as fuck, man.
You gotta stop that.
Try to start conversations.
Try to start conversations and be friends.
Do you succeed?
Yeah, sometimes.
Sometimes?
Oh, the parents will be like...
What is this guy doing?
Talking to my kids?
No? None of that happened?
Yeah.
Sometimes, yeah.
Sometimes, yeah.
You should stop that.
Hey, what about the radio?
What about the radio?
You record some radios, huh?
The program radio.
The real radio.
Oh, yeah.
It was...
I haven't done it yet.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I have not done it yet.
It was the only meeting last I had.
Right, so I'm going to publicly say it right now.
Okay, sorry about that.
If you don't want to parry that...
Oh, no.
No problem.
I will have...
I will be a host of a radio show on NHK.
Wow, man.
Oh my god.
That was the radio show of NHK.
NHK.
NHK Radio.
I think it was NHK Dayni.
Okay, okay.
And then it's...
I think it will air in October.
October?
If I remember correctly.
You're the host.
I'm the host.
Two hosts.
Okay, there's two hosts.
Right, and then one guest.
Okay.
Wow.
And then I will share the link someday.
After it's published and everything.
Wow.
So that you guys can hear it as well.
You became a huge star right now.
I'm a huge...
I know, right?
03:00
I'm a Hollywood star now.
Well, not the Hollywood...
I'm a Hollywood star now.
Okay, okay.
Yeah?
Wow.
And we're going to have...
It's going to be done in English.
Oh, all done in English?
Wow.
We're going to have guests over.
Just all English.
And we're going to talk about how to live in Japan.
How to live in Japan?
Right.
So that, you know, for people who can't speak as much Japanese.
Ah.
You know, be a radio show that would help them.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Yeah.
It's not going to be like this really like...
Really like...
Kind of.
It's more of a...
More of a very free talk kind of...
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
So we'll be like on air like every day?
No, it's actually every week.
Every week.
And I think I'm on it like every other week.
Okay.
Like once every two weeks.
Okay.
Like the hosts change.
Ah.
Right.
Okay.
So...
There are two hosts.
So...
Right.
There's two...
I think there's two or three pairs of hosts.
Ah, I see.
So it's not going to be like often like every day.
Uh-huh.
It's more like once every two weeks or something.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Wow.
That would be nice.
So though, I went to the radio, the recording room.
In the NHK?
It was the one.
Ah, really?
The NHK recording, it was the one.
Wow.
The one like the Gang No Jeans when they are like doing the radio and they take a picture
like this, like that.
That was it right there.
That was it.
It was the exact same room.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You did that too?
I did not do that.
No, I didn't do that.
I was just too nervous.
Okay.
Wow.
Right.
So, um...
Are you excited for that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And who's the other host?
Uh...
Ruth Son.
Ah, the Ruth Son, man.
Ruth Son, yes, yes, yes.
One of the best friends of yours.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Who is that?
She's from Hawaii.
Ah, from Hawaii?
Yeah.
And she is bilingual.
Okay.
She's been in Japan for a very long time, like 30 years, I think she said.
Ah.
She's, yeah, so she understands culture very well, both Japanese and English, American
culture.
She's a CEO of a company.
Ah.
So, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I would be the first guest?
You will not be the first guest.
Why?
We've already decided who the first guest is.
What?
Yeah.
Why?
It's, uh, I mean, the director.
Just, okay, this is gonna be it.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I...
Yes.
Why am I not the first guest?
Because we're doing this podcast for a long time, and we've been, like, great friends for
a long time.
I mean, the concept is, like, if you're struggling, if you can, like, talk about an episode that
you struggled living in Japan, then you're good.
Yeah, I'm struggling living in Japan.
06:00
In what ways?
How?
Oh, yeah, I'm having, like, so big worries every day.
About what?
Well, about the...
How to buy a newspaper.
You don't...
You don't buy newspapers.
Oh, yeah.
You gotta be, you gotta be struggling.
What?
Who will be the first?
I do not know.
Okay.
Then I will be.
That, I'll be noticed afterwards.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna have to go.
I'm gonna have to go.
I'm gonna have to go.
Afterwards, okay, okay, okay.
I guess that will be, like, great, like, opportunity for you to speak to the...
Speak with, like, native English speaker.
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
In English.
So, it's certainly different from... because you're not able to speak to the native English
speaker, like, daily.
Well, it may be a different, like, feel.
Yeah.
It may be a different, for example, like, sense of humor may be different.
True, true.
Maybe, like, how the responses may be different, right?
Yeah.
So, direction of the conversation may be different.
Yeah.
That's another thing you may get something new from that.
Because if you're living in Japan and you are native, like, you are a native speaker,
so every time you speak English, that can be, like, you teaching English to non-native
people.
Mm-hmm.
So, of course, it will be...
It's fun for you, of course.
Mm-hmm.
But, well, I hope so.
But it's kind of different that you, like, actually speak in English.
Yeah.
Right, right.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
It can be maybe learn new things, maybe catch up new culture, maybe.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
Hopefully.
Good, good opportunity for you.
So, yeah, that was a big announcement.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Careful.
It's going to be the...
So, you're going to be doing the real DJ.
The real.
Yeah.
The real.
Welcome to.
Welcome to.
That's going to be official.
That's going to be the...
Yeah, please do that.
The national broadcasting NHK, right?
So, it's like it's official now.
Yes, yes, yes.
Right.
And you guys are paying for it.
You guys are paying for the NHK, right?
Yeah.
So, you guys are...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dabbling.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I will do that.
If I could win the pressure from all the adults looking.
Is that that high pressured?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't think it's like that high pressured.
09:02
Oh, okay.
But you can't really...
You can't just like fuck around with it, you know?
You got to do your job, right?
You got to...
Of course, but...
Right.
I have to do time management.
Yeah.
I can't...
I'm not going to swear.
Okay.
Right?
I can't cuss there.
Of course, I can't.
Yeah.
That's going to be fun.
Okay.
It's going to be fun.
Sure, sure.
It will be a really good experience.
That will be nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So, we're waiting for the new announcement then?
The official announcement.
Yes.
Hope this wasn't too early.
I don't think so.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe, but I don't know.
This is better.
Okay.
But I'll tell you when the actual...
It's going to be on a podcast too as well as the radio.
