Oh yeah.
Podcast show.
Yeah.
I made a twist a little.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wanted to play around with it a little bit.
But I was a little bit...
I chickened out.
I didn't go that far.
I was afraid I'd mess it up.
Sorry.
It's okay.
It was yours anyways.
Yeah.
I know this one.
I got it from you.
Kevin's English Room Podcast On-Chu.
Thank you.
Do you know the word On-Chu by the way?
I do know.
Oh, you use it for groups.
Shit, am I wrong?
You say sama when it's an individual.
You say On-Chu when it's like more than one person.
Like when you're towards a group or company.
Like an organization.
That's when you use On-Chu, right?
Yeah, that's true.
But not quite...
I don't...
Well, not sure.
No.
But you know.
Yeah, those.
But I got the gist of it, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Hello Kevin and Yama-chan.
Hello.
Hello.
I found out about KER on Instagram about two months ago and then I came to your podcast.
Thank you.
I'm still a beginner in English and I don't understand your conversation 100% yet.
But I'm enjoying your podcast every day.
Thank you.
There's no name actually?
Did I say?
I don't think you did.
Oh, it's Akio-san.
Akio-san.
Akio-san.
Okay.
I finally caught up with the new episode about 10 days ago, but I don't want to lose track of the story and I'm listening to the past again.
I don't want to watch the final episode of the anime.
I have a question for you two.
Okay.
Will you solve the problem when you run into a big wall?
Or will you consult someone to solve it?
I haven't heard about the new episode, so I'm sorry if there's something that's already in the same content.
If there's nothing yet, I'd be happy to take it up.
I was wondering about something.
If the time it takes to microwave a bento you bought at the convenience store is 4 minutes and 30 seconds, how long will it take?
Okay.
What?
It's one of the very first episodes that we uploaded, right?
03:01
Because you microwaved too much.
Yeah.
I guess that's where she's coming from.
Yeah.
That was like 3 minutes or 2 minutes.
What was your microwaving rule?
I guess 3 minutes.
No matter what the product is, what size, it's always 3 minutes.
Or like 2 minutes.
2 or 3 minutes.
Yeah.
If it's written like 4 minutes and 30 seconds, then I would go 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
You're going to add an extra 10 minutes?
Yeah, like 4 minutes and 50 seconds or like 40 seconds.
What's with the extra 10?
Because it gets better.
Well, it gets hotter.
I know, but the perfect temperature is more than half.
No, it's more than the perfect.
It's hotter than the perfect.
Because it gets too hot, right?
You don't want to eat the thing and burn your tongue, right?
Beyond the perfect.
Beyond the perfection.
That's what I want.
Okay.
So you like hotter.
You like hot food.
I mean temperature wise.
You know sometimes that happens when you do this like 4 minutes and 30 seconds and it's still cold inside.
I hate that.
True.
That's what I don't want to.
You do get cold spots, right?
I just want to treat as if I should be treated like a princess.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You're microwaving your own bento food.
Yeah, like dancing on the floor.
Like a princess.
What the fuck are you talking about?
With a light on it and dancing.
True.
That looks like a dance floor now that you mention it.
Do you microwave...
Let's say you cook rice.
Okay.
Like Sango or Gyo-ngo.
Okay.
And then you...
My rice cooker is not that big so maximum Sango.
Sango. Okay. Got it.
Or Nigo usually.
Nigo usually.
Okay. So if you cook Nigo and you have some rice left, you put it in like a container and you put it in the fridge, right?
When you microwave that like next day or something, do you have a routine for that?
Because I do.
Oh, you do?
And I am confident it's better than yours.
So I want you to tell me what it is.
Mine is...
I don't have that typical routine.
But I put out those rice bowl from the fridge and I put it into the microwave in 8 minutes.
8 minutes?
I mean because it's frozen.
Oh, it's frozen.
Got it.
So like 8 minutes.
Frozen, huh?
Yeah, or even 10 minutes sometimes.
06:00
Alright. I don't...
I can't... I don't have any advice for someone who freezes their rice.
But tell me.
Okay, I'll tell you.
Perfect. Yeah.
Okay, so this works. I get the perfect rice every time.
So you refrigerate it.
I get perfect rice every time.
You get perfect rice every time.
Really?
One minute.
Okay.
Okay?
Stir it.
Okay.
One minute. Stir it. Everything. Especially the corners.
Okay.
Make sure the corner rice is in the middle, right?
When you stir it.
Okay.
Right?
And there's gonna be like some chunks, right?
Bowl chunks.
Yeah.
Chunks of balls, right?
So you wanna smash that and you wanna crack up those chunks, right?
They're evenly pieced.
Put it back another. Put it back.
One minute again.
Okay.
Perfect.
That's it.
So that's your perfect rice routine.
That's my perfect rice microwaving routine.
Okay.
One minute. Stir. One minute. Done.
You should do it.
Okay.
That's all.
Then I should like maybe like eight minutes and stir it?
Yeah. Right.
In my minutes maybe?
Right. So the point is to stir it in the middle.
Okay.
Before it gets to the perfect temperature.
Okay.
Right.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing that.
Yep. No problem.
Thank you.
So that wasn't the important question.
Okay.
For me, what I do is...
I would sometimes talk with other people.
Get their opinions and stuff.
But ultimately, I would be the one breaking through.
Yeah.
Decide what to do with it.
Yeah.
So...
Yeah.
Yeah. How about you?
Well, same here.
Same thing?
Yeah.
But I actually have been really bad at...
You know...
Relying on somebody else actually.
Like for a long time.
But recently I realized that it's really important.
And they can really like...
Really helpful.
They can be really helpful to me.
Why did you think that?
Well, there's one time that I did...
Talked with my friend.
And he said something really like...
You know...
Helping words.
Helping words.
And he really thinks about me.
09:00
And that makes me like...
Feel so.
Oh.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah. So sometimes, you know...
But before that I was really bad at...
Saying that to other people.
So I couldn't even ask for help.
But now I know that.
How...
You know...
Helpful and easy.
You're able to open up more easily.
Yeah.
And able to take in the advice from somebody else more comfortably.
True.
That's good.
Yeah.
So now kind of I...
I sometimes ask for advice.
But ultimately like same as you.
I would be...
It would be me who decide everything.
Which way to go in.
Yeah.
I absolutely agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right. Thanks for listening guys.
Thank you.
Bye.
