Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello! Good morning!
Good morning!
It's a good morning.
Yeah!
Sunny.
Sunny.
But very cold.
Yeah, cold though.
Something is inside my sleeve.
What was in your sleeve?
I don't know.
Something hot.
Something?
Yeah.
That's very scary.
Maybe my nail?
Your nail was up your sleeve?
Yeah, I cut the nail.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I love this weather, by the way.
Really?
Yeah.
Isn't it cold?
It's cold, but you know, feel like it's, you know, fresh.
Really fresh.
Like...
That's true.
Like a...
That's true.
Yeah, refreshing.
It is.
Yeah.
It is.
It is.
How was your week?
Um...
I went to the gym.
Three days ago, I guess.
Oh, okay.
And still, like, my muscles are, like, still, like, yeah, soaring.
I don't know why, but you look really, really buff today.
Oh, really?
What do you mean?
You look really pumped up today.
Yeah, maybe because of this, um, clothes, I guess.
Oh, is there, like, a...
Yeah, I think.
Is there, like, a down jacket underneath or...
No, I just...
It's, like, a thick one, I guess.
Can I...
Oh, it's got some...
Yeah.
What is this?
It's, like, um...
What is this?
Yeah, it's, like...
It's not...
I don't...
It's not some normal...
Yeah, yeah.
I don't...
It's just, you know, usual, like, these hot cotton thing.
And this outside is, like, um...
It's, like, gore-texture?
Yeah, it's a bit see-thing, and, uh, it's a hard one.
Like, uh, it prevents wind?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And rain, maybe?
Rain and...
Yeah.
So, yeah, that's why, maybe...
You look really buff.
Yeah, well, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
You're working on your... working on your mustache now?
No, I mean, yeah, I just forget shaving this morning, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Is that one day?
No, no, no, it's, like, uh, um, five days, I guess.
Five days worth of not shaving?
Yeah.
That's...
You didn't shave for five days?
Yeah.
Wow.
Because...
Oh, like, four days.
Four days.
Yeah, three, four, five days, yeah.
Oh, okay.
But, uh, um, yesterday was my mom's birthday.
Oh, wow.
I mean, last time it was, like, your grandma's, and then...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, congratulations, you're on your mother's birthday.
Yeah, so I was at my parents' house at home, and then celebrate together.
Okay.
And then I forget my shaving machine.
03:00
Ah, I can see.
You know, so that's why I couldn't shave this morning, and I came here, so...
Ah, I see.
I see.
So, it's still, like, um...
Still not enough to me.
Like, I want to...
Like, not long enough?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand that you want your beard to be, like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, this big, you know?
Yeah, like, Harigurito?
Hagurito?
Hagurito?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
Yeah, like that.
With Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
How's your mother, by the way?
She's doing great.
She, um...
Yeah, she's still, like, um, healthy.
That's good.
Yeah.
She's doing great.
She, um...
Yeah, she's still, like, um, healthy.
That's good.
Yeah.
Still young and beautiful.
That's good.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, recently she says that she has some, like, random stomach pain.
Ooh, okay.
Like, once a month.
Oh, really?
And she doesn't know the reason of that, like, pain.
And she's kind of working on it.
Working on it?
Yeah, like, having some supplements.
Oh, okay.
Or, like, you know, going to the doctors and then having some kung-fu things.
Or, like, some, um, like, daichou massages things.
And yoga things.
And she does everything she can.
Is it working?
Um, the recent one, the massage one, is kind of working for her.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Out of all that, I least expect it to work.
Yeah, yeah.
She went to, like, the doctor and the doctor says, "Oh, yeah, maybe this and had a medicine."
Right, right, right.
"It doesn't work."
And then went to a kampo house and the master of kampo, like, had kampo and it doesn't work.
And supplement, that doesn't work.
And then finally, like, the daichou massage thing.
Nonoji?
Yeah.
Nonoji massage thing.
And I guess the daichou massage thing, that does work.
Wow.
Yeah, she says that, like, it was like a month before she started doing massage thing.
And she feels great now.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
That's really good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow, okay.
The pain day hasn't come yet, so.
Oh, that's good, that's good.
Yeah, since she started this massaging thing.
That's good.
Yeah.
Well, I hope she's well.
Yes.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We had a Kani together again.
Oh, shit.
I thought you don't like Kani.
I love Kani.
You're kind of, you love it, but you're allergic to it, right?
Like the kara.
To a certain extent.
Oh, not the mi.
Not the mi, yeah, yeah.
Okay, I see.
I'm only allergic to kara, so I can eat those, you know, huge gloves of meat, but not like
those, like, small ones.
Yeah.
The kōkaku-rui?
06:00
Yeah, ebi kara.
I see, I see.
Yeah, I can eat meat, though.
How about, like, you know, ebi, ebi soba?
Like the ramen?
Yeah.
That's...
Is that not good?
Nah.
No?
Sometimes I try, though.
If it's like, if it looks so delicious, I try, but no.
There's a guy.
Yeah.
If they use like a kani or ebi surimi, or like dashis from karas, then nah, nah.
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, yeah, so I ordered through Furusato Noze.
Okay.
Yeah, two kani's.
Okay.
Like the end of last year.
Okay.
I didn't know which, when those things will be arrived, you know, it's Furusato Noze.
Right.
Like two weeks ago, when my grandma's birthday, just arrived one kani.
Okay.
And wow, what a timing.
What a timing.
Yeah.
And then yesterday, just arrived second kani, and wow, what a timing.
Wow.
Yeah.
The crabs are saying, "Happy birthday."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kind of surprised, and they arrived.
That's nice.
Perfect timing, so.
That's really nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was lucky.
Is it like a big one?
Like...
Yeah.
So this time, was like a tarabagani.
You know, tarabagani is like a bigger one.
Like...
It's like a...
Isn't it famous for...
Yeah.
Like long legs and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Looks like a spider.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Huge one.
Right, right, right, right.
So this time, that was tarabagani.
And like two weeks ago, that was a kegani.
Okay.
Which is like this size.
Okay.
A lot smaller.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like a hairy one.
And legs are like more like this.
More...
So shorter.
And they're like...
Not as big.
Yeah.
They're like this shape.
Like when a spider dies.
Not like this shape.
You mean...
When spiders die, you know how their legs go inwards?
Oh, really?
They're folded in.
They're maybe...
Same thing?
Yeah.
I don't want to say the same thing, but yeah, it could be the close one.
Yeah, yeah.
But their legs are just bent inwards.
Yeah, and shorter.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like a...
Huh.
Yeah.
It's a different kind of ease.
I'm guessing it's more thicker?
Yeah.
The legs are thicker?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Compared to like that.
Tarabas.
Tarabas are just big and long and like, yeah.
Long and not that thick.
But still thick.
Glatzy enough?
Yeah, like this.
That's pretty thick.
Yeah.
Which one tasted better for you?
Huh.
To me, Kegani.
Kegani's better?
Yeah.
Tastes better.
I see.
Yeah.
You know, Kani Miso.
Do you like Kani Miso?
Never had Kani Miso in my life.
Oh, you should try.
Kegani is Kani Miso.
Yeah.
09:00
That's like a...
Oh, okay.
Best Kani Miso from all clubs.
Okay.
Yeah.
I see, I see.
Tarabas, you know, Kani Miso's are not that, that great.
Yeah.
They're mainly like legs.
Tarabas are mainly for legs.
I see.
And Kegani's are like a...
It's like a...
Concentrate it in like a...
Miso's are great.
Because every time I think of Kani Miso, just...
Yeah.
Like a melted brain or something is what I feel.
Yeah.
It's just...
Yeah.
It's a little bit gross.
Yeah, I know.
I understand that.
Right?
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, I can sense that.
I still need to go over that hurdle.
Oh.
Like...
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
My brain isn't there yet.
Yeah.
I'm trying to get them on the Getemono Zone.
Yeah, okay.
So, we got to get over it.
Yeah.
But it looks just like brain, like melted brain.
Right?
It does, right?
Yeah.
Where do you go to get Kani's?
Like good Kani's?
Like I've never...
Yeah.
Come across a restaurant where you get to eat a lot of like Tarabaganis or like...
Right.
Like that one?
Yeah, like there are like specialty Kani restaurants.
Not...
But not many.
Right, not many, right?
Like I don't see them.
Yeah.
Not here or...
Right.
Right?
Yeah.
You know, my grandparents' house is in Hokkaido.
Yeah.
So, in Hokkaido, you know, there are so many Kani's on the market.
So...
It's easier to find.
Yeah, it's easier to find.
And some old friends are like Ryoushisan.
They kind of bring some Kani's to the...
Yeah.
So...
Wow.
Yeah.
But right, it's difficult to find those things in like around...
Maybe like Kani-Doraku?
Right.
Kani-Doraku is like the...
It's got this little huge crab doll.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I think that's a special...
That's a famous Kani restaurant.
Yeah, I think so.
I've never been there, but I believe that's a Kani restaurant because they got Kani's
in front.
Right.
Right.
There's one in Osaka that's famous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
At Dotonbori.
Yeah.
There's pictures of it all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm sure there's one in Tokyo though, right?
I believe so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
We'll give it a shot.
Yeah, you should try.
Yeah.
Like the Kani-Miso and stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You eat Kani-Miso like this.
And then you...
Put some sakes in that, you know, cola and then drink it together.
So like a...
Wait, Nihonshu?
Yeah, Nihonshu.
So Kani-Miso infused Nihonshu.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's disgusting.
Yeah, you should try that.
That's disgusting.
Yeah, you should...
That's the same mentality as like, "Oh, I'm going to eat some ice cream."
12:08
Right?
Yeah.
You put like a coned ice cream and then like on the cone, you put Coke in and like a vanilla
ice cream infused Coke and American shortcake and y'all Japanese are like, "Oh, you fat
ass."
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's like the same mentality.
Right.
True.
Not that I don't think anyone does that.
Yeah.
I don't know anyone who puts Coke in their ice cream cones, but...
Cream cones.
Yeah, it's the same vibe.
Same vibe.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I'll look into Kani-Miso.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kani-Miso is good.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
