Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
I was about to cough.
That's why. Okay. Held it in. That's why it was so weird.
Okay. Yeah.
So...
Yes.
Oh. Yeah, it's the pot. Okay.
You're making... I'm making hot water. Boil water. Yep.
For what? For me to drink. Okay. Yeah.
I have nothing to drink here. So I just drink hot water. Yeah.
If only I had like tea or something I would probably make it but...
I'm always too lazy to go buy. Yeah.
You don't have some teas there? Yeah, I did see that.
There's a tea bag, right? Yeah. Too lazy to make the tea bag.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. Too lazy. I'm too lazy. I'm not even using the...
the legit cup. I'm using the paper cup so I can throw it away.
Yeah, that's okay but... Okay. So...
Anyways.
Hello. Hello. I always enjoy listening to your podcast.
My name is Primama.
I thought of something that's unique to this show.
Oh, thank you. Excuse me.
One.
So she sent us four. Okay. One.
The silence that happens during the show.
How? Well, be that habits, right?
I don't know if that's a good thing but... She's saying this is a charm so...
Okay. That's a good thing, right? Maybe this could be like...
Everything could be like... You never know, right?
Right?
We get that sometimes. We get that. We get comments of like...
I checked my phone to see if it paused or something.
Yeah. I'm sure there are some guidelines for like...
Oh, true. True.
Silence for like... Too long. Yeah.
That makes it a hosoujiko. Five seconds or like... Five seconds?
Ten seconds or I'm not sure but certain like duration.
Are there? Yeah, they have those. For radio? No?
Even for TV shows, I guess. Okay.
Well, I'm not sure but...
Can we do five seconds of silence? Yeah, of course. See how long it is?
03:10
Yeah, try that. Okay.
Okay. So I'm gonna say...
So tell me what do you think about that Yamachan?
That's five seconds. Really? That's five seconds.
That's really quick. That was five seconds.
Really? Yeah, look. It's five seconds. Can I try?
Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. So Kevin. Yes.
Tell me what did you do yesterday?
That's five seconds. Really? Yeah.
That's way quicker than I thought. It's pretty quick. So we do this all the time then?
Yeah, we do this all the time. Yeah. You wanna do 13?
13 is our next level. Okay, try that. Alright. 13 silence and see how bad it feels.
Yeah, okay.
So what do you think about this problem here?
That's it. Really? That was 13.
Actually 14. Yeah. To me it was like three seconds.
That's three seconds? Yeah. That was not three seconds.
Really? Yeah, that's 14 seconds. That's too quick.
Alright, you wanna do 20? Yeah. 20 is the worst.
Okay. Because that's the longest. Longest one.
So basically all the TV shows.
Every one of them. Every radio. Would consider that as a hosojiko.
Every hosojiko. Everywhere. I'm gonna try that.
So Yamachan, about this problem right here.
Anything to add on? Any thoughts you have that might have been worth saying?
That's it. That's 20 seconds. Really?
No, that's too quick. 20 seconds. To me that was like five seconds.
It was definitely not five seconds. Really?
Yeah. Wow. I guess we do have a lot of chimokas, right?
Like if it was like the real conversation.
It's not like radio show or podcast shows or TV shows or nothing like that.
If it was like the real conversation.
It's not that bad.
06:02
Yeah, that's true. Like if you ask something to you and then...
Hmm... And think about it.
Think deeply like this and then it's not that bad.
For example, if it was like a really difficult problem or like a really...
Controversial problem.
There's a lot of times that you really have to think about what you're gonna say.
And like what you're like, right?
How you're gonna position this and what your stances are and everything.
And you have to really be careful.
I feel like it's possible that 20 seconds is a decent amount of...
You know, necessary time before you answer questions.
I get it.
Five seconds.
Definitely five seconds.
Wow.
Is there anything on the list? Yeah, of course. She sent us four.
That was the first one, no? That was the first one.
So the second one.
That was five seconds.
Then I think that happens all the time then.
That's true.
I intentionally put a little "hmm".
Make sure that it's not the phone or the earphones.
It's us thinking.
Make some noise.
So the second one.
The third one.
Okay. That's important.
Number three.
Oh god.
Like onigiri.
Yeah, those.
Yeah, those kind of things, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's no English... I want to tell you something, but there is no perfect English
translation, so it's just easier to just go with the
katakana version. That's how I do that stuff.
Number four. The last.
Well, thanks for listening guys. Bye bye.
(laughs)
(laughs)
(laughs)
09:02
Oh really? I've never...
I never really considered that.
We kind of talk about deep things like our friendship or
our past things and our future and dreams and things like that.
We kind of...
Alright, that's it. Bye guys.
(laughs)
That's right. That is true. Yeah, it's funny.
It's very unintentional. I didn't even think about that.
Yeah, yeah.
So...
I see. I'm a natural then.
Yeah.
Oh god. Oh no.
I'm terrible today.
No, it's okay. I dropped so many things.
Right, you were... I can go...
Aww.
What?
Thank you. Thank you. That's very kind.
That's very sweet. Thank you. Very kind of you.
Yeah. Right.
Thank you. About the pause things.
Like five seconds.
You know it's always
already five, right? I always... I'm going to keep
doing this forever I think. Yeah, I mean that's just how you roll.
Yeah, sorry. Don't worry. This is
you know, podcast like that. Was that okay when you did the radio show
with Goto-san? How was that? Was Goto-san like
"Aseru?" I was like, "Yamachan, talk." (laughs)
What are you doing Yamachan? Was he like that or no? Or like the staff?
No. Nothing like that. But this is because I think I was also
like, this is the radio show so I kind of...
Like need to be like... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Here I'm like just one friend of you and just having conversation.
It's just friendship, usual conversation.
So we have like this 10 second pause but on the radio
I was like, "Okay, this is radio." Right.
That's true. I see.
Alright, thanks for listening guys. (laughs)
That was intentional. Yeah, that was intentional. Yeah, that was very intentional.
12:06
Quicker than the usual. Quicker than usual.
Alright. Okay.
So once somebody pointed that out... I can't help it.
I can't help it. Just being natural.
Wow. Alright. It's funny. Thanks for listening guys.
Bye. (laughs)
