Zwift.
So it's like a...
So it's like a... Is it like a VR kind of...?
I guess so.
VR...
The one you can...
Ah.
www.zwift.com.
Wow.
Arata mo setto appo erabo.
Oh, so you... It's like an actual bike.
Yeah, it's your bike.
Yeah, your own cycling set.
Yeah.
And there's a monitor in front of it, so you feel like you're actually...
Yeah.
So it's not a VR.
It's just screen and your real eye.
Right, screen and a gadget.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I actually have a bicycle, you know, and actually bike to work sometimes.
03:04
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I guess this isn't that necessary.
In that machine?
Right, because...
And what I need to do is I need to...
I need to...
I need to like run towards a ball or something.
Okay.
Right?
Remember the criteria for my exercising?
True.
See, I can't...
I don't want to run by myself alone because that's just torture, you know?
You're just facing your pain.
Yeah.
That's all you're doing when you're just on treadmills.
Yeah.
But...
Yeah.
That's why I need some sort of like a tangible something, like a ball or something like in front of me.
Well, maybe you can have something on your screen, you know?
Like some other, you know, racing maybe?
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Like...
So that I feel like I'm racing with an opponent.
Yeah.
That's true.
Doesn't make you excited?
That's true.
Not that much?
Well, yeah.
It's like that.
I guess that's true.
Yeah.
Well, how am I going to find a room for this, right?
[laughter]
Where the fuck am I going to put this machine?
[laughter]
In my house?
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is true.
Maybe the locker, maybe?
[laughter]
But I need a monitor, right?
Yeah, true.
So am I going to put like a...
Of course, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if I have the proper space for this.
That's right.
You know?
That's right.
When you look at all these...
These sample photos, all these guys are like...
They have like this huge roomy space.
True.
It's just...
No one has a room this big, you know?
In Japan.
Yeah.
Obviously it's based on the, you know, housing in the United States or European countries.
They're doing it in the garage, right?
So that's a little disappointment right there.
True.
Hmm.
True, true.
And it's...
[speaking Japanese]
Okay.
[smooch]
I kind of don't like the subscription style.
[laughter]
You know, I kind of want to pay as I do it.
Yeah.
So like I don't...
[sounds of frustration]
Okay.
It's kind of a no deal for me.
Okay, okay.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for the recommendation though.
Okay.
But I do kind of...
Wasn't...
What I was looking for.
[laughter]
Yeah.
Yeah.
Besides, what I can do is I can just get on my actual bicycle and find some other bicycle guy and race with them, right?
[laughter]
I can find my opponent.
Oh, that's nice.
That's a good idea.
Or like race a bus or something.
[laughter]
Find a bus.
Because they sometimes like stop occasionally.
Yeah.
That's my chance to...
Yeah, okay.
That's true.
I could do that.
[laughter]
Yeah, you can sometimes be...
It's raceable.
06:00
Yeah, raceable.
They are raceable.
Or like usual car.
Mm-hmm.
The thing about car is that they don't stop too often.
Yeah, like the light, traffic lights.
Right, traffic lights are the only...
Yeah.
If they are lucky enough to go through all green...
Is that too tough for you?
I can't win.
Oh, you can't win?
I can't win an engine.
[laughter]
But with buses, they don't go full speed.
Yeah.
They stop occasionally.
Yeah, they have stops.
Occasionally.
Right, so I can probably race against a city bus.
[laughter]
Yeah, that's fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would be fun.
[laughter]
You know, from the first bus shako.
Yeah.
[laughter]
[speaking Japanese]
[laughter]
I had a friend who was really like [speaking Japanese]
Really [speaking Japanese]
Yeah.
And when he would ride bicycles, every time like a car, like a bus, or some other bicycle rider...
Yeah.
Would just pass him, he gets so pissed.
[laughter]
Unless you can't stand losing against whoever.
Wow.
He would just go full throttle and just try to win that guy.
[laughter]
That's so annoying, actually.
That is so annoying.
And also that's how he got into an accident.
[laughter]
Because he got so pissed, he went so fast, he couldn't really see anything.
Yeah.
He just crashed.
True.
Yeah, just fell.
Yeah, but that's true.
Sometimes me, you know, when I ride bicycle, and I pass through, you know, somebody, and
that guy will, you know, pass me again.
Right, right.
Oh, okay.
Right, he's a bike-inspirer for sure.
Yeah, that's little, you know.
Competitive.
Right.
That competitive spirit.
Yeah.
[laughter]
Yeah.
Speaking of bicycles, I've been wondering, you know those city scooters?
Oh, the...
Kickboards?
I don't know what you call it.
But like...
Yeah, I know that one.
It's like an engine-based kickboard.
Is it called a kickboard, or is it...
Like, you know, those...
Yeah, it's...
What was it called?
Rather like scooter?
Scooter?
With engines, right?
Right, engine scooters.
Yeah.
Right.
I've been seeing like those engine scooters in the city recently.
Like a lot more than, say, like three months ago.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like I'm wondering how they, like, how it feels to ride in one of them.
Yeah, I've never tried that machine, but one of my friends, Narachan, he often rides that machine actually.
Does he?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Because when, you know, we meet once a week and do some music, and it will be like really late night.
So he returned... when he returns to his house, you know, there's no train.
So he has to, you know, use that machine.
It's, you know, rental one.
You know, there's a station, station, station.
So...
You can return it anywhere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So... and he says it's really... feels great.
09:03
It must be.
Yeah, yeah.
Is it... do you know how much?
Like...
It's really cheap.
It was like several...
Several hundred yen.
For like 15 minutes?
Or just once?
I guess so.
Oh, okay.
For once or maybe, you know, 15 minutes.
Well, it's not that that inexpensive.
Got it.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
I was wondering if that was, like, good.
Yeah, and you don't have to, you know, do some exercises, but it's just fast.
Right.
Not that fast, you know, compared to those cars.
Right, right.
I've seen them.
Yeah.
But they're good enough, right?
Yeah.
You can just change the vehicle yourself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
