About the reaction, you know?

That was the reaction.
That was the, uh...
Unexpected.

40, it was a big day for him.
Yeah.
You know, the...
(Speaking Japanese)

(Speaking Japanese)
True.
More 40.
Wow.
Well, first of all, he looks much younger than that.
Yeah, he looks great.
Yeah.
He looks great.
Amazing.
Amazing.
I'm surprised he doesn't have a girlfriend.
(Laughs)
I'm surprised.
Yeah.
True.
And, um, 40.
Yeah.
That's an adult.
Yep.
That's a...
Yep.
That's a big, you know...
It's a grown-ass man.
Big boy, yeah?
Yep.
Big boy.
Big boy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
All right.
I just wonder how, you know, what his life has been like.
Yeah.
You know.
True.
We've never actually got to, you know...
Yeah.
Hear his younger life, you know, like...
Yeah, life story, you know.
In the 30s and the 20s and everything.
Yeah.
It was just, you know, being introduced by the company.
Right.
As a, like, the, you know, as manager.
09:00
Right.
And, um, we've been doing some works with him.
Yeah.
And, of course, we know about him.
Yeah.
What kind of character.
Right.
But, you know, obviously he's one simple guy, you know.
Yeah.
Was born and raised somewhere in Japan.
Right.
And, you know, I kind of wonder.
I got it.
Yeah.
I got it.
How, how his, you know, what kind of story he's been through.
Yeah.
What kind of passion he's got.
Yeah.
What his dream, you know.
The difficulties he's been through and everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Let's just, you know, talk about those things in the barbecue.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
Let's do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because 40 is kind of big, big guy.
Yeah.
40 is big.
Yeah.
It's big.
There's nothing you can't do when you're 40.
Like, there's nothing you can do.
Society, society expects you to handle everything.
Yeah.
When you're 40.
Like, there is no relying on somebody else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40 is the one that's being relied to.
Yeah.
Like, if you're like 15, right?
Of course you can't do anything.
You're 15, right?
You get that, right?
Sure.
You're like, you're 19.
You're still 19.
Yeah.
You can't, you can't manage your own money.
That's okay.
Yeah.
But like, we're 40.
Yeah.
Like, if you can't do something, there's nothing that's accepted.
Yeah.
That's acceptable that you can't do when you're 40.
I feel like that.
Fully grown up.
Yeah.
But I bet you, you don't feel like that when you're actually 40 yourself, you know?
Steal the sign.
Because I felt like that.
I'm 27 right now.
Yeah.
I felt like, I felt like that when I was like, when I was 15, right?
Yeah.
I'm sure around the 30s, right?
Like 27, 28, 29.
I feel like you probably can't screw anything up.
You probably know everything, everything about the world.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, that's right.
Right.
That's true.
I'm always fascinated by that.
Yeah.
I feel like you're not feeling like what you are when you were 10 years ago at that age.
Like when you thought that you're more mature 10 years ago, right?
True.
So.
Wow.
Default.
Yeah.
I'm happy I got to say happy birthday to him.
Yeah.
On the spot.
Sure.
Yeah.
It's all true.
All right.
All right.
So thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Let's send him a happy birthday.
Yeah, send him some messages.
Yeah.
To Suji-san.
It's this episode is going to be out September, mid September, probably.
Say it's late September.
But it's okay.
12:00
It's late birthday is still better than a no happy birthday.
Of course.
Of course.
Yeah.
Of course.
Yes.
Give him a message or something.
Yeah.
I don't know if he has.
Did you know that amongst our listeners, Suji-san is called, he has a, he has a own code name.
What's that code name?
A letter.
No, the number two.
Okay.
And then the alphabet G.
Suji.
That's how he's being called.
Why?
That was that was what it said on the comments section.
Suji-san.
Why are they called?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But they they they represent it with a two and a G.
Suji, Suji.
Yeah.
You get where that comes from, right?
Yeah, yeah.
The real name like Suji-E.
Maybe they didn't know the Kanji.
Okay, that's why.
Maybe.
Or maybe they just like it that way.
It's, I guess, cuter or something.
Well, if it's not unrespectful.
No, no, I think it was with respect.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
How does that how is that disrespectful?
The two G.
Well, because if you got the real name and you just change into some different characters
and like that.
Oh, no.
Okay.
No, I thought.
Oh, no, no, no.
I feel like the culture.
The culture is it's that's acceptable.
Okay.
Yeah, I feel like.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's with love.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I didn't know that, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
I'll send him some loves.
Yeah, send him love.
Yeah.
