Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast
Hello
Oh
Oh
Oh
What the hell is wrong with Japan?
It is hot
What the hell is wrong with our country?
It's too much
It's too hot
It's too hot
Yeah, too hot
Has Japan always been like this?
No, right?
I don't think so
2 or 3 years
Yeah
Yeah
It says like 38, 39
That's right
It's close to 40, right?
That's right
That's not something
It's pretty crazy
Yeah
Today is 38
Man, that's
That's wild
That's pretty wild
Yeah
That's not something that happened 5, 10 years ago, no?
No, I don't think so
I don't think so
Yeah
Not to my knowledge
Yeah
Because before like 35, when you say
When you heard it's 35 and we were like, wow, it's
Yeah
It's too hot
It's wild out here
Yeah
Right?
Now it's just like
It's casual like
38, guys
Today is gonna be 38
Good luck
Oh, that's too much
It's too hot
Is it global warming?
I don't know, is it?
I don't know
Well, maybe, yeah
Yeah
I feel like it's getting hotter and hotter every year
Yeah
I usually don't care that much about the environment but like
This
I mean, man
I should start caring
Yeah, yeah, yeah, true
True, true
Yeah
I came
This morning I came from the station
The train station, a little bit far from
Yeah, this place
Yeah, yeah
And I walked about 15 minutes
Okay
And, you know, it was the limit, I feel
Oh, yeah
50 minutes walk outside
Under the sun
Yeah
It's the limit
Oh, yeah
Like it's, you know
If you walk like 30 minutes or 20 minutes and you will
You will be sick
Oh, yeah
You will be down for something
Yeah
What do you, you know, recently
Like within this week
I've been seeing a lot of like guys having the umbrella
You know, for the sun
Like the sun umbrella shit
Like, you know, to avoid the direct
Yeah, yeah
What do you think?
I'm actually thinking about using one of those
It's too hot
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You're making the sun shade
Yeah, that's right
It's cooler, right?
Yeah
It was a thing for the ladies, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But I've been seeing a lot of guys doing it
Oh
Well, I mean, it's reasonable
Like you make a shade for yourself
Yeah
Yeah
Man
One thing I don't like about the
Umbrella?
Sun umbrellas
Yeah
It's like when you go to the crowded places
Uh-huh
03:00
You know, a few days ago I went to Omotesando
Harajuku Omotesando
Yeah
Very crowded places
Very crowded, yeah
And it was a sunny day
Yeah
And everybody was like holding
Had on an umbrella
Umbrellas on their own
Yeah
If it's not crowded, it's all right
It's, I mean, completely all right for them
It's, it's, it's okay
Yeah
But when you're like packed
Yeah
In one place, it's like
Like when you're crossing the shingo
Yeah
Before the shingo
Like, like if they
If they have like sun umbrella
Yeah
It's like, just like
You know, they had like a
Toge
Oh, yeah, like the pointy
Yeah, on the tip of the umbrella
It's like a little pointy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A little dangerous
And they hit me
Oh, right
Actually, they hit me
Oh, really
I was wearing a cap
So it kind of avoided from hitting my eyes
Yeah
But it was like coming like this all the time
Uh-huh
And I, that I didn't like about it
Oh, okay
So
Some people just don't know where their umbrellas are
You know
Yeah, yeah, they're just hanging like
Right
This
They're not really aware of what's going on
Yeah
Behind their back, right?
Like it's
It happens
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
And I think that height
Yeah
Matters like
Maybe that
My height is like
Very close
The best
It was like the eye level
Height for that, yeah
Yeah
For them to like
Right
Come, so
I guess the manner is like just
Yeah
You know when it's a little crowded
Yeah, like just
Just fold it
Yeah, fold it
If it's very crowded
Put it down
Yeah
Yeah
I felt it before
I mean that's not
Limited to the sun umbrella, right?
It's the usual
When it's raining you
Umbrella it
That happens as well
Yeah
Right, all the time
But if like everybody has umbrella
Uh-huh
Like they know like
They have to like keep distant
Because they
Uh-huh
Because I have umbrella
And they have umbrella
So it's like
They know it
So it's physically impossible to
But if like half of the people
Having their umbrella
And they don't care about that
And it's like
Uh-huh
Oh, it's like
Yeah
Yeah
So
It's a little dangerous
Yeah
So maybe like they should
Start selling like umbrella without
The tip
The tip, yeah
That's actually
You don't have to have that, right?
That's true
That's true
If it's like rounded like that
Yeah
And soft
Yeah
And it's much safer
That's an idea
This is
It's a product idea
Yeah
Yeah, right
That's true
That's true
It's a design, right?
Right, right, right
That's true
Make it more soft, more rounder
Yeah
Safer for everybody
That's an idea
Yeah
Yeah
Maybe I should
Maybe I should start
Start selling
Yeah
Start selling it, yeah
Wow
Make one for the guys as well
Like I don't
Like is there a market for that?
I don't know
I feel like it's all like
You know, girly looking
You know, lace-ish looking
Are they using
Like the guys using those girly ones?
06:01
No
No?
I don't know
It looked to me like a simple umbrella
But like maybe it's just a normal umbrella
Ah, yeah, yeah
They just
Oh, normal
Yeah, because it's not really sold anywhere
I've never seen a guy's sunshade umbrella
True
Yeah
It always looked like raised
That's right
It's like all pretty at the end
You know
I don't know
Yeah
Yeah, why don't you have like cool ones?
Right
Something
Pokemon printer
That would never work
That's a terrible idea by the way
You know something like for guys, you know?
For guys, you know?
For guys
For adults
For messy printed
For men
Messy face printed
I would never use that
Elementary?
Elementary student?
Pre-K?
Yeah
But they have to be like thick
Like thicker than the usual umbrellas, right?
So that's why
Oh, okay, I guess so
Yeah, yeah, yeah
For like a
Reflecting the
Layers, right?
Yeah, UVAs and shit, yeah
Yeah
You know what I think is weird about, you know, girls with umbrellas?
They have such like small, weak, itsy-bitsy umbrellas
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Like small like this
It's like this big
It's like this big
Yeah, yeah, yeah
True
And when you fold it
It's good that when you fold it
It's like really thin
Yeah, it's carryable
It's like really small, carryable
But like is that usable as an umbrella?
Does that really protect you from the rain?
Like with a little bit of like wind
I can feel
I feel like that's gonna fucking break
Yeah, like pow, right?
True
Or like these itty-bitty
Itsy-bitsy like suitos, you know?
Oh, yeah
Like a small one like this
What did you put in there?
You know, like a shot of tequila in there
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it
It's really small
It's really small, yeah
It never made sense to me, you know?
It never made sense
You can find it at loft or something, you know?
Just girls just going in there
Just buy these like
Yeah, yeah, yeah
These puny like fucking, you know?
Yeah, yeah
Everything they carry is very small
Like they carry like this small bag
That's right
What's inside them?
In the parties, right? During parties
They fold these like
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Itsy-bitsy bags
They carry like this
Yeah
Tumbler
Yeah
And drink like that
That's right, that's right
I would...
It would not even be a sip for me
You know, that little tumbler right there
Yeah
Yeah
True
Yeah

For this week, this weather?
