Welcome to Kevin's English Broom Podcast.
Yay.
Right.
Checking through the DMS for the topic requests.
Thank you as always.
Thank you.
All right.
So, um, okay.
Send us some messages.
Okay.
It's from Emu-san.
Emu-san?
Yeah.
All right.
So it's quite, uh, weeks ago.
Okay.
But, uh,
Thank you.
I just happened to be following the message.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
Okay.
Oh, thank you for that.
Well, greetings.
Thank you so much.
Uh, now we are, I am 28 now.
Oh my God.
Oh no.
What?
Dude.
That's too much.
28?
Dude, you're 20.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
Come on.
No, I don't know.
I'm not 28.
You're not 28.
I feel like I'm 25.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know I'm not like 22 or 21 anymore.
Come on, man.
I can feel that.
I'm not 20, 21, 22 guy, but at least like 25.
I don't know.
See, 27 was still acceptable.
Yeah.
But like 28 hits different.
Yeah.
That's too much.
It's just, it's a, it just a huge punch in the face.
Yeah.
That's, that's, that's too adult.
I don't know, man.
That's too mature.
I don't know.
I don't know about 28.
Are you going to be 28?
I will be 28.
Yeah.
Like six months from now.
Oh my God.
Four months from now.
Happy late birthday though.
Well, thank you.
I didn't get to say happy birthday.
Well, thank you.
I don't even know when your birthday is.
Happy late birthday.
Thank you.
It's.
Oh wow.
Wow.
That's, that's impossible.
That's not possible.
28.
That's not possible, right?
28.
Yeah.
I can't even imagine that.
That's a big punch in the face.
Yeah.
But you know, the thing is I feel like I'm 25.
Yes.
So I'm 25.
Yeah.
I mean, go, go ahead, man.
See, um, there's not a thing that.
25 can and 28 can.
Oh, you know, I, you know what?
I kind of understand that.
Yeah.
03:00
Yeah.
Actually don't care about that anymore.
This literally.
Yeah.
Last week.
That's what I thought last.
Okay.
Okay.
You know what?
I should stop counting my age.
Yeah.
Like, why am I counting my age?
Yeah.
Like I'm just going to stop.
Yeah.
I'm just going to forget how old I am now.
And if, if, if time comes where I need to figure out my, I'll just calculate.
Yeah, of course.
We, I remember that the birth date last year.
I'll just.
Sure.
Stop counting is what I thought.
Literally last week.
Why last week?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Just came to me.
Yeah.
It was probably because like, Oh, my birthday's almost here.
And like, Oh shit.
I'm 28.
Yeah.
I mean, like, why am I scared of 20?
Yeah, of course.
Why do I have to be like, true categorized under age?
I'm just, I'm just living the everyday.
Yeah.
You know, true.
See, there are so many talented people, even they are like 16 and so
professional and so mature.
Yeah.
And at the same time, 35 freshmen beginning something new, stepping into the new world.
Well, age doesn't matter at all.
Yeah.
I understand.
Yeah.
I understand.
We're just all pursuing.
Yeah.
Every day.
Whatever it is that we're pursuing.
Stepping.
That's all.
We're just living every day.
Yeah.
I agree, man.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I like celebrating birthday.
Okay.
A new angle.
All right.
Thank you for bringing up a new angle.
You know, I love my birthday.
That's great.
Or like some other people's birthday.
That's great.
To celebrate of the birth.
Okay.
For one's life.
Okay.
The fact that one was born.
And I'm happy for that.
And eating cakes.
Yeah.
It's a fun atmosphere.
That's a, that's a party, you know.
Yeah.
The party's all nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm going to be, I'm going to celebrate every year.
Okay.
On my birthday.
That's great.
On your birthday.
That's great.
On my friend's birthday.
Mm-hmm.
But you don't have to count that.
You don't care if it's 28th birthday, 29th birthday.
It's just your birthday.
It's just the date that you were born.
Yeah.
That's the importance.
Yeah.
It's not how many times have you done this before?
Yeah.
Your age.
It's the mom, it's, you're just celebrating that moment of birth.
Yeah.
It's just like a Ichigatsu Tsuitachi, you know.
Exactly.
It's just, it's just new year.
Yeah.
It's just.
I agree.
Yeah.
I agree.
I should.
Do you think we could do that?
Yeah, I can do that.
The only problem I thought was like.
So if someone asks you what, how old you are, you're going to have to answer with,
I don't know.
Right?
Yeah.
I have to count that.
Yeah.
06:00
You have to count.
Yeah.
And tell them, right?
Yeah.
See, I think that's where the friction comes in.
Okay.
That's the point where I give up.
Okay.
Of like.
Yeah.
Being able to have like conversation with other people.
It's convenient.
It's convenient if you remember your ages.
Yeah.
It's much convenient.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
But I feel like I'm 25 now.
Yeah.
Turn into 25.
You're turning in 25?
Yeah.
Two weeks ago.
Yeah.
Isn't that paradoxical of what you're doing?
What do you mean?
Because you're, because you're not going to care about your real age.
Yeah.
But inside, you have this ideological like age.
True.
Feel like 25.
Yeah.
So like you're still in that.
Yeah.
Aging system.
True.
True.
True.
So if you do that, you have to completely forget about that.
Right.
Right.
True.
You feel young.
Yeah.
Well, I mean you feel as you are.
That's not young or old.
That's, you just.
Yeah.
You just feel.
See, the young or old doesn't make sense anymore.
Anymore.
Because you're, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just, you're just you.
Yeah.
You just live in you.
You know?
Yeah.
You just have all the past experiences.
That's you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Right.
It's just 2022 me.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Right.
Huh.
What do you think?
Anyways, yeah.
Yeah.
How do you celebrate your birthdays?
Like usually?
Yeah.
Um, what do you buy?
Like what kind of, um, if you buy a cake, what kind of cake you buy or like, uh, kind of drinks.
If I were like, okay, if I buy some cakes.
Yeah.
Good cakes.
Good cakes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good ones.
Yeah.
Good ones.
Yeah.
Like expensive ones or no?
It doesn't have to be, has to be expensive, but it tends to be expensive.
Got it.
Yeah.
I go to the cake shops.
Yeah.
And look around and choose the best one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about your drink?
What do you drink with the cake?
Coffee.
Okay.
Coffee.
Thank you.
Do you, do you, um, pour extra fancy coffees?
Nah.
Just the usual.
Just the usual.
Because daily I, I, you know, drink, I'm buying the best coffee beans for me.
So it's the best.
Right.
The daily coffees are the best.
Yeah.
So the usual one.
Yeah.
09:00
Just one, one piece of cake, one slice of cake.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, you know, for me that's enough.
Of course.
You know, sweet amount.
Yeah.
What about you?
You eat whole cake maybe?
Yeah.
Uh, I would, I can go for half a whole.
Really?
Yeah.
I can't.
Oh, that's.
I can't actually do that.
Is that that big?
Or like this big?
You know, there's some, this big whole cake.
But the usual, regular?
Yeah.
I can actually, yeah.
I can actually take on a half a whole.
This short cakey?
I mean, how do you say that?
Like the usual, the usual.
Yeah.
The strawberry.
The strawberry and.
Yeah.
Strawberry chocolate.
Uh, whatever.
Whatever kind.
Wow.
Is it expensive?
The good one?
Um, I really don't have a preference on the, um, how good it is or not.
You know, some, some convenient cakes are good, you know.
Oh, really?
Yeah, they're good.
Okay.
Okay.
I think so.
Yeah.
Wow.
What do you drink with that cake?
Milk.
Okay.
I go for milk.
Yeah.
So you eat half a whole cake.
Yeah.
A pack of milk.
Not a pack of milk.
Just a cup of milk.
Cup of milk.
Oh, really?
But actually, when I have to take on a half a whole.
Yeah.
I would probably have myself a cup of coffee ready as well.
Oh.
But that's wrong with the milk.
Ice cold milk.
So is that too?
Hot tea.
Hot coffee.
Too sugary?
Yeah, because it's too sugary.
Oh.
It's too creamy.
I need something a lot more bitter.
Yeah.
Right next to it.
Yeah.
That's where I get the coffee.
Yeah, I understand that.
[laughter]
Didn't need an explanation?
[laughter]
That's obvious, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
What do you eat on your birthday?
Cake.
I mean, sorry about the sweet thing, but the dinner.
Dinner?
I don't have any.
I don't have any spicy pizza.
No, I don't have any.
No?
What I...
The cake is the only one that's fixed.
Okay.
Fixed.
Okay.
That's it.
Okay.
So like, for dinner, I really don't care.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
No, I thought you love pepperoni pizzas.
I do, but it doesn't have to be.
Like, I eat them every like...
Once in a while, so...
Okay.
It's not that special to you.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
So thanks for listening, guys.
