Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Excuse me. Sorry. I just dropped my phone.
Where's your...
I was... I know, I'm in the bathroom, so...
I see, I see. You took it off.
Yeah, take this off and...
Right, we can't forget about...
Right.
That could happen.
Yeah.
Forget about the mic because it's so compact.
Yeah, it's very small and very light, so...
We have to, you know, not to forget about it.
Right.
Thanks.
Okay.
テレビをつけて過ごす時間
なんとなくお二人ともあまりテレビを見ないイメージですが、バラエティ番組は好きですか?
私は今年から海外に来たので、今までは帰ってきてすぐテレビを付けちゃう派でしたが、
今は日本のテレビが見られないので、すぐお二人のポッドキャストを聞いてしまいます。
毎日お忙しいとは思いますが、何気ない時間をどうお過ごしなのか良ければ教えてください。
これからもお二人のトークを楽しみにしています。
Thank you.
I've never... I don't know if I've told this to anyone, but like I've really...
secretly love chaos.
Love chaos?
Yeah.
So what do you mean?
Okay.
So I would turn on the TV.
Okay.
I would turn on YouTube.
Wow.
And I would turn on like a music.
Right?
Play music video, play YouTube, play TV.
Wow.
And that and I would focus and I would and I would 作業 in that environment.
Wow.
I secretly do that sometimes.
Wow.
集中力を高めるための環境づくり
And I enjoy it.
Wow.
Like it puts me in my zone.
That's impressive.
Yeah.
I remember you told me before like if it's like like over a certain level.
I remember that was you talking about when you do 作業, you put music on.
Yeah.
Or like cafe.
Yeah.
But you turn the music on and if it's too loud, you start like automatically like cut the music.
And like focus.
Yeah.
So I guess that's the same.
I guess so.
Yeah.
I guess.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Wow.
But TV, I kind of do want the TV on.
All the time?
Yeah.
At most of the time.
Wow.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I want information coming in at all times.
All the time.
Yeah.
Something going on.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'm sure that's very different from you, but.
Yeah.
But for me, like it's I want something playing.
Yeah.
Even when I sleep, I sometimes put like.
Something on.
Yeah.
I put like news on and I'm asleep.
Wow.
I put like a like a 再生停止タイマー.
Yeah.
Like an hour or two.
Right.
And then I would go to bed.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
It just put me to bed so much faster.
Wow.
That's surprising.
Right.
I can focus on this one thing.
Which kind of kind of put the fear of like not being able to sleep.
That ultimately gets me to sleep faster.
テレビを常につける派
I see.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, that's.
I see.
Like it's fair.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
So when you get back to your house.
You I guess you wash your hands.
And then you enter your room.
Then you put everything on.
I first put the TV on.
Oh, you first.
OK.
Yeah.
I was supposed to put the TV on.
一人暮らしの始まり
Then it all kind of really depends on my.
Oh, OK.
OK.
OK.
Yeah.
I see.
So TV is something always on while you are in house.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So do you have like typical like a program to watch?
I don't.
It's just usual.
It could be like, you know, all the channels, right?
Anything.
Yeah.
Anything.
Or like music videos.
OK.
Like of K-pop or something.
Yeah.
It's either that.
OK.
Yeah.
Wow.
So it doesn't matter the content inside.
Yeah.
It really doesn't matter.
Like if it's something on.
Yeah.
Playing something is matter.
Right.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, I kind of understand if it's like two chaos.
And then you start focusing on one thing.
I mean, I kind of like I can't understand it.
I can imagine that's how that works.
Yeah.
Wow.
I feel like putting just the TV on isn't me trying to like cancel out the chaos.
It's more like an emotional stabilizer at this point.
Like emotional stabilizer.
Right.
Like not having TV on kind of like worries me.
So that's why I kind of put it on kind of.
So how does that like save your emotion?
Like it kind of like I don't know.
Maybe it's sort of like a FOMO-ish kind of thing.
Like something is on now.
I'm like like I'm excelling.
I feel like I'm like I'm not left behind with the world.
Like I'm like I'm catching up with something.
Something.
I'm intaking something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I am enjoying something.
That's like not wasting my time.
Like I guess that's that's where it's coming from.
I feel like.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well I get it.
Yeah.
True.
Right.
Wow.
Is that something.
So I remember you living with your sister like few or some years ago.
Or like before that you were with your parents and with like a whole family.
Right.
Is that something you've been doing since very child?
No.
That's been going on after I started living alone.
I didn't have my whole room and house to myself.
Yeah.
That's where it started.
I see.
Yeah.
So before that like when I was living with my sister like TV wasn't on.
Like I probably didn't even have the music on.
Oh really.
Yeah.
Is that because your sister was there?
I mean I didn't even have the desires.
Oh really.
Right.
Like I didn't know that it was even in me.
Yeah.
Probably because I didn't have the chance to do so because my sister was there.
Yeah.
I was kind of like you know like not trying to be rude.
Right.
Like at that point I didn't even know that I wanted it.
Yeah.
So like after I was alone like I can play whatever I want.
友人の視聴習慣
Kind of started you know 24-7.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's interesting.
But I know some other friends who does exactly the same thing.
Oh really.
Not like chaos thing but like playing TV on whole time.
Yeah.
Even sleeping time.
Yeah.
So that's I guess something not very rare like.
I guess.
