Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Yay.
Is that the new jacket?
Oh, yes.
New jacket from, you know, I wear the mocha mocha.
Yeah.
It's a, it's a new version from you.
Really?
Yeah. It's windproof now.
You got a windproof technology.
It's a, they added on a windproof technology.
Oh, wow.
And I just, I had to get it.
So like, is it windproof?
This is windproof.
Yeah, it's all windproof.
You don't feel any wind.
Very good.
What do you mean windproof?
You know, like windbreakers, you've had windbreakers on, right?
Yeah.
Same idea.
Same idea.
When you, when there's wind coming through normal cloth,
it goes through the fabric and you feel the wind,
like hitting your skin.
It's cold.
OK, OK.
With the windproof leather, no, leather.
Windproof cloth.
Yeah.
It's, you don't feel wind.
OK.
Yeah.
Like a windbreaker.
In that way.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Like I've been always questioning
to those windproof.
How?
Because you feel the wind.
If you, if you, like a wind blows to you,
you definitely feel the wind, right?
OK.
Like you feel the pressure.
Right, right.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So what does windproof means?
It's like a--
Oh, I see.
But, OK.
You thought it was some sort of like a metal armor.
Yeah, like it's like, shoo, shoo, shoo.
You don't feel any wind, but--
Oh, no, no.
It doesn't go through the fabric.
Yeah.
I see, I see.
I understand that.
OK.
Oh.
Yeah, I had to get--
Yeah, I like that.
I love the mocha mocha.
Yeah, so inside it's like a quite mocha mocha.
Inside it's very mocha mocha.
Wow.
And I love it.
So warm.
Yeah, it's like a different texture.
Oh, yeah, this right here.
Yeah, that's cool too.
It looks more like an outer-ish look, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Right, the your former mocha mocha ones,
rather like pajama.
Yeah, like a room wear kind of thing, right?
I kind of hesitated going to like a station
or going to like--
Get on a train.
But with this, it's easier to go.
Yeah, it looks great.
It looks like a normal--
It's just like a usual outdoor jacket thing.
Exactly, like a North Face kind of vibe.
Yeah, Patagonia thing.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I got it immediately.
You got it from Uniqlo?
Yeah, I'm in love with the series, the mocha mocha series.
So good.
Wow.
So warm.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You should be some advertisement guy from Uniqlo.
No, right?
You should do that.
03:01
Like I've loved the--
Mocha mocha for a long time.
Yeah, you've been using it for like--
Two or three years?
Oh, two or three.
[LAUGHTER]
A bit shorter than I thought, but--
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, but still.
Yeah, yeah.
Still, I've said that I loved it.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So all right, so this one is a bit like plus kind of--
Of course.
--message.
But--
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
OK.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Thank you.
Wow.
Yeah.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Excuse me?
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
OK.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
OK.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Could you say that again?
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
OK.
The last one.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Heart.
OK.
Make sure you put heart at the end.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
All right.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
True.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Of course.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
All righty.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So--
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Yeah.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
The-- the bathroom is available.
[LAUGHTER]
Right.
The bathroom is now available.
The bathroom is now available.
That gives it a context of like, it wasn't open before.
Now it's open.
Now just open.
Right.
Just open.
Yeah.
The bathroom is now available.
Go right ahead.
That's-- that's what--
Yeah.
Keep it simple.
Yeah.
Keep it simple.
Yeah.
So I think that's one secret of like, being like,
06:04
like expensive atmosphere.
Oh, yeah.
Like keep it simple, short.
That's true.
You don't talk too much, like, no.
I think that's--
I think that's a really good point.
Yeah.
Like the more, you know, authentic and very like,
sexy the place is--
Like sophisticated places.
Yeah.
The less words they use.
Sir, the bathroom is available.
Yeah, that's--
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, that's it.
Like--
That's really cool.
Like, I can imagine like a local bar where it's like,
very casual.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, the guy that was using the bathroom just laughing.
Go in.
It's open, sir.
Right there, it's open.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Hurry up, mate.
Yeah.
Before that guy uses go, go, go, go, go, go.
[LAUGHTER]
That's casual.
That's very casual.
Oh my god.
Yeah, I love the atmosphere too.
But it's like a cheap one and like a--
Right, right.
--friendly vibe.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But I can easily imagine like five-star hotel bars.
You don't talk like that.
Right.
[LAUGHTER]
That makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the other one.
OK.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
This wine was the last bottle that we had in our house.
In our house.
Yeah.
That's cool.
And there you go.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
This bottle was the last-- this wine was the last bottle in our house.
Sorry.
[LAUGHTER]
No, I'll punch you.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, you could say like-- you could say I'm sorry at the beginning.
Very sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But this bottle was the last bottle we had in our house.
It'll be nicer if you could recommend something else.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is another like a different wine that's very-- that shares a serious trait,
serious characteristics with the wine that you liked.
Yeah, yeah.
So maybe you want this one.
You want to try?
That's great.
Yeah.
Cool.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Well, thanks for coming, guys.
Hope you enjoyed the dinner here.
We'll be waiting for you again.
Love.
[LAUGHTER]
09:03
Such a weird restaurant.
Such a weird sense.
Very weird employee.
People will be like, what?
My love.
My love.
Like if you don't say the love, it makes all sense.
Yeah, yeah.
Very useful.
Casual or expensive, that's usable.
Yeah.
Great.
Yeah.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Yes.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
OK.
So [SPEAKING JAPANESE] is Japanese, right?
So you don't say those like, excuse me, or like, sorry, or like--
Excuse me or sorry is not something you'd say.
OK.
What do you say?
You say, here you go.
Here we go.
Here is your order.
Here's your order.
Here is the rabbi steak.
Yeah.
Just call the menu name.
Here's your chicken ramen.
Right.
Something like that.
Say what they ordered.
Say, here you go.
OK.
Here you go.
Here you go.
OK.
Yes.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you-- like to me, if you-- well,
I don't know which kind of restaurant she's working for.
But to me, if you call the menu name,
that gives me more authentic-ness,
like expensiveness.
If it's an expensive place, I think putting sir or ma'am
is very good.
OK.
Let's say you're at a hotel in Tokyo, and it's a bar,
and it's dark and sexy.
Yeah, dark and sexy.
Yeah.
Right?
Then you get the vibe of like, here's your order, sir.
Put the sir at the end.
Like when you call them, like, "sumimasen no kari,"
"sir" would be a very good way of using it.
So a ma'am, if it's a lady.
OK.
So if it's expensive, use that sir or ma'am.
Great.
You don't call like, hey, or like, you guys.
That's casual.
Yeah.
That's casual.
It's not shitsurei at all.
OK.
It's casual.
Oh, it's not shitsurei.
Not shitsurei at all.
It's casual.
But if it's like a sophisticated-looking sexy bar,
then it's not a good fit.
OK.
Yeah.
Like sir.
Or ma'am.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Do you have like a multiplied version of sir?
Oh, like you guys kind of thing?
12:02
Gentlemen?
Ah, right.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
Ladies?
Ladies?
Gentlemen?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's it.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to try to use that one.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some random--
Be a random bartender.
Just to use gentlemen.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
Yeah.
OK.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Great.
I kind of miss sekiakuing.
Yeah.
I've done a lot of sekiakuing in my Baito.
And I've done the cafe thing.
Yeah.
And I've done the employee--
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Starbucks thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I realized that I really love sekiakuing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I kind of miss it, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So why not trying those bartender things?
Yeah, I know, right?
Yeah.
Like, I can speak English.
So why not utilize my love of sekiaku and also my English,
right?
Maybe work at a bar, and then I'll
learn how to do the cocktailing and stuff.
But be able to sekiaku--
Well, it'd be great.
--them, you know?
It'd be great.
That'll be fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That'll be fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or opening a new place, maybe.
That's true.
That's true.
I could--
Like a new-- what do you want to open?
Like, if I were to open a place where people that speaks English
would come, well, I guess like an American diner.
Yeah.
That'll be good.
I love making hamburgers and steaks and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Bar, I'm not too sure, because I don't drink alcohol.
Oh, true.
I don't know what's good.
True.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, that's not good.
Like, you don't know the taste, and then you
need to recommend it, right?
I don't even know how to make it.
Yeah, yeah.
It's the guys that make it, right?
The bartenders that do the sekiaku?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you get some questions about alcohol and things.
I can't answer it.
It's on the recipe.
[LAUGHTER]
Like, it's written on the recipe to put coconut milk, so I just--
it's there.
[LAUGHTER]
That's sad.
Very sad.
Yeah, like an American diner.
Like, hamburger places.
Yeah.
Like pizza.
Yeah.
Steakhouse.
Right, right.
Why not Asian beef?
Yeah.
Why not Peter Luger?
[LAUGHTER]
Kevin Luger.
Yeah.
Why not Kevin Luger?
OK, well, that sounds great.
Sounds cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
Kevin Luger.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, more like Kevin Gang.
Wolf Kevin.
15:00
Yeah.
Wolf Gang Steakhouse.
Kevin Gang Steakhouse.
[LAUGHTER]
Wolf Kevin Steakhouse.
Kevin the Wolf Steakhouse.
[LAUGHTER]
Kevin the Wolf.
Yeah, that's it.
Should be like that.
Kevin the Wolf.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll do some aging.
Yeah.
Dry aging beef.
Yeah.
That's good.
I definitely--
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah.
Give me a friend rate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
I'll do double.
Double pricing.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
