Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello.
This program is brought to you by...
Yeah, I just...
This microphone, last time, remember?
The blinker...
The microphone turned off, so I was wondering if it's...
If it stayed on.
Is it?
Yeah, I think it's on.
Okay.
I'm sure everybody...
How's the audio, guys?
For YouTube?
Yeah.
For the podcast, we're always using the...
The pin microphone.
So it should be the same.
But for the YouTuber, using this rodeo, like the gunshot microphone...
I wonder if it's making a difference.
Last time, last week when we recorded it, it was connected, but it wasn't working.
Yeah, the line was kind of broken.
Yeah.
This shit fuck.
This shit fuck I bought on Amazon, fucked it up.
That's what happened.
So...
Yeah, that's pretty little gadget.
Yeah.
This fucked up motherfucking shit ass gadget.
God damn it.
I'm gonna give it a refund and a one-star review.
Okay?
Okay.
Yeah, so just wondering if the remote is working.
But you know, we did the test.
Yes.
And the vlog.
Yeah, it was working.
So hopefully, right, it's still working.
Any topics for today, Yao-Zhan?
Anything you want to talk about?
The, you know, introduction maybe?
The ad part?
The ad part.
Yeah.
I should be fired.
Alright.

The order was like weird, you know?
Yeah.
What is this?
So that's a...
If you do on, it won't work.
Oh, okay.
It's weird.
I don't know why.
Why?
It's like this...
It's like a different mode.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's okay?
Yeah, if you're connecting to like a smartphone or some PCs, you do off.
Off, okay.
If it's something else, you do on.
I don't know how that works, but...
No, I just found it's off.
So...
Yeah, it's okay.
It's on.
It's on.
It's on.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, it's on.
It's on.
So...
Got a message from Arisa-san today.
Arisa-san?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello, Kevin-san, Yamachan-san.
This is Arisa.
Hello.
Thank you for accepting the message half an hour ago.
Mm-hmm.
The face with the, you know, emoji face.
You were doing the emoji face?
Yeah.
Here's a question for you two.
03:00
Do you miss that?
I want to...
Yeah.
Thank you for accepting the message half an hour ago.
You two...
No!
No, that's...
That was definitely not the emoji.
That one.
That, you know...
So Yamachan's talking about the one where like it's "tare-me" and like the cheeks are red with a smiley one.
Yeah.
That was definitely not it.
Really?
Yeah. Let me...
I can do it better.
Hold on.
Thank you very much.
Wait, hold on.
No.
Wait, hold on.
Yeah.
Not the, you know, the teeth, you know.
Yeah, I shouldn't show the teeth.
You have to close your mouth.
Yeah, that's...
That's...
Yeah, that one.
Yeah, that one.
Okay.
(Laughter)
Okay.
Ooh.
(Speaking Japanese)
Mm-hmm.
(Speaking Japanese)
Mm.
Thank you.
Thank you, Arisa-san.
As a returnee from France,
anything that you think...
like that you'd sent to France,
that would be like really good?
Like basically speaking, just like sake,
you know, Japanese "okashi", "wakashis",
or like...
those things.
Or like...
little glasses.
Japanese, yeah, like...
the "shoki", kind of plate.
Okay.
Things, or like...
little...
tapestry?
Tapestry?
Those things,
well, basically, or like generally speaking, but...
Yeah.
If you were to choose...
out of that, which one would you...
Well,
I don't know her,
that friend, so...
You know, usually we choose some present for someone,
you think about that person, right?
What he or she likes,
06:01
based on that, so...
But maybe...
drinks, sake drinks.
Yeah.
Japanese...
whiskey, maybe?
Whiskey?
Yeah.
Those would be like...
you know, "okay" in every, you know, way.
Right, right, right, right.
Yeah, so...
When my dad comes to Japan,
he comes to Japan with an empty suitcase.
The reason why it's empty is because he wants to fill it up with
Japanese, like, souvenirs.
And all the souvenirs,
it's either chips,
or kashipan,
or like, osenbei,
or otsumami.
Uh-huh.
Chocolates?
Yeah.
Yeah, somewhere around there.
That's really cute.
Yeah, it's cute, right.
He would...
And that's your dad.
Yeah.
I easily, like, understand that.
Like, when he comes back to Japan,
we would always, like, gather, right?
Yeah.
And then, like...
He would, like, reserve a hotel for us to, like, have a family time.
Nice.
You know, like, we'd stay in the hotel,
have, you know, have dinner with him,
and, like, stay in the hotel with him.
And always, we'd...
There's always gonna be a "going to the grocery store" time.
You know, there's always...
He'd always have to go to, you know, like, a local...
Supermarket?
It could be anywhere.
Okay.
Big, small, it doesn't matter.
He would...
He would just...
Spend about an hour in the grocery store.
Just looking at these, like, chips and everything.
Those...
Selections that I've mentioned.
Yeah.
He would get, like, a whole...
Like...
A cart full...
Cart or two full of them.
And...
He would sometimes...
Like, go to, like, the service counter and, like, ask for a weight scale.
Because you can't go over, like, how many?
Like, 7.5kg, I think?
Or 12kg? I forgot.
And he...
And it's always, like, "Giddy, giddy."
You know?
Wow, that's amazing skill.
And he packs it, like, with complete...
Zero dead space.
He does it so well.
So the dead space...
Skill is from my dad, actually.
She does it so perfectly.
Wow.
Yeah, and...
That's...
That's amazing.
That's the culture.
That's the culture.
Of your family.
My family, exactly.
Wow.
And...
So I think, you know...
Those things are something that they don't have in the U.S., right?
Chips, those snacks.
Yeah.
Senbei and...
Senbei and everything.
It's...
And I agree, like, it's a higher quality, I feel like.
09:00
Chocolate's higher quality.
Yeah.
You know?
I think Meiji chocolates are better than Hershey chocolates.
Okay.
Chips are...
I think it's got a variety of more taste.
Japan.
Well, senbei, they don't even have the senbei in the U.S.
So...
And kashubon's, too.
Really good.
Can you bring...
Is that okay?
Like, bringing kashubon, like, it takes, like, 2, 3, 4 days, right?
Yeah.
So he would say that it's only...
There's only, like, 1 or 2 days left until, like, the expiration date.
Okay.
So what he would do is he would probably first eat the ones that are, like, closest.
And then 1 day, 2 days after, it's still okay.
Yeah.
The other one, he would, like, freeze it.
And then freeze it.
Yeah.
Tries to extend that...
Okay.
Life, shelf life.
Wow.
Right.
Yes.
Why...
Why doesn't he, like, send...
Like, pack, you know, one, you know, carton and send to...
Probably because...
I don't know.
I haven't asked.
But probably because he doesn't want the shipping fees.
[Laughter]
Yeah, true.
He doesn't want to pay for the shipping fees.
He can carry it by himself.
Because he can do it by himself.
[Laughter]
Wow.
Yeah.
That's the nature.
So mean.
That's your nature.
Yeah.
That's you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But maybe he doesn't want to, you know...
He doesn't want to ask for help, I guess, maybe.
Maybe that could be it.
Uh, okay.
But, Dad, if you're listening, if you want me to send the chips, I would do it for you.
Because you're doing it for us right now.
Like, from Walmart, we're buying things for the Kevin's English Room to send Dad's house, Dad to here.
Snacks and chocolates.
Yeah, we do it in return, right?
Yes.
So feel free to reach out to us, Dad.
[Laughter]
To me.
To me.
Yeah.
[Laughter]
Oh, man.
Please don't use this YouTube as personal, you know, information to your dad.
[Laughter]
He is listening to the podcast.
Oh, yeah.
He said so.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well...
Okay.
It's really you, you know, measure the weight and pack perfectly without any debt spaces.
Wow.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, you've been seeing that, you know...
Exactly.
...behavior, that gesture, you know, in daily life.
Yes.
So that's why you became like...
That's how I got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Okay.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
guys. Bye bye. Thank you.
