*Jungkook is singing "Love is a Burning Thing"*

Okay, let's do the jingles.

Love is a burning thing. I'm gonna stop you right there again.

Because you're bullshitting again. So welcome back again.

Why do you always interrupt me singing a beautiful love song?

That was not an intro.

Okay.

That was not an intro, dude.

How am I supposed to put my words over that?

You wanna try? Let's try. Let's try doing that.

Go ahead. Do the intro. I'm gonna put the words on. See how it feels.

Alright. Alright.

*Jungkook is singing "Isn't She Lovely"*

Welcome to Kevin's edition podcast.

Not bad.

I kinda liked it.

I think I was a little bit too loud though.

Nah, it's okay. It wasn't as bad as I thought.

Okay.

Thank you for opening up to a new world.

Okay.

Did I put any echoes on you?

Yeah, I forgot about that.

That was a mistake.

Be careful with that.

I like your t-shirt by the way.

Thank you. It's a Hollister t-shirt.

Yeah, you like Hollister, huh?

I do. I do.

It's an American brand.

It fits my body the most.

That's why I like the...

I like Abercrombie and Hollister because it fits my body the most.

I have a body where my chest is a little bit thicker.

And my shoulders are a little bit thicker.

More rounded.

With other brands, what happens is...

And what Hollister does is...

It's a little bit tighter around the belly area.

So it looks like I'm in a good shape.

Yeah, I like that.

If you buy a Japanese brand, what happens is...

My chest is a little bit more rounded.

So it looks like I'm in a good shape.

But my chest area is a little bit too tight.

If I adjust my length...

Like if I want to adjust it to my actual height...

What happens is my chest area is a little bit too tight.

And it's unbalanced.

But Hollister is perfect for me.

That's why.

It fits you.

It does.

But I'm starting to get a little bit embarrassed of Hollister.

It's for a little bit more of a younger audience.

Hollister?

Yeah.

High school people maybe?

High school college student maybe?

Yeah it is.

I'm going to go into more of a non-branded t-shirt.

Like Uni Club.

Yeah. I like Uni Club.

But does it fit you?

Yeah.

It does. It does.

Medium size fits me well.

Medium size?

So what was the topic?

It was an Indian restaurant.

Yeah we're still in the Indian...

Yeah we're still in the Indian restaurant.

We're like 6-7 episodes.

03:01

I don't know why that employee just said hi to us.

That was a bit awkward.

But I like coming to this kind of Indian restaurant.

And talk about...

What do you talk about?

Basically...

What is this food?

Because there are so many...

Konnichiwa.

That was awkward again.

You say hi to the employees.

There are so many foods that I don't know at all.

So it's always fun for me to have conversations with them.

I used to live in Maita.

Maita is a city in Yokohama.

I used to live there.

And I had...

There was an Indian restaurant.

Just like this one.

Nan place.

And I love Nan.

I love Nan with curry.

Me too.

I would always go there.

And...

The owner there...

Was...

I always laughed at him.

He was a funny guy.

He would come to our table and...

Tell us something.

But you would never understand what he was saying.

His Japanese is unbelievably crippling.

I'm gonna try to imitate him.

I can't do it perfectly.

But I'm gonna imitate him.

I'm gonna order like...

What kind of curry set?

He would order a set of curry.

And he would order a set of Nan.

"What is it?"

He would say "What is it?"

I think he was saying "What is it?"

And he would say "What is it?"

It's very difficult to understand what he's saying.

And then he would like...

"Wait a minute."

I don't know what he's saying.

"Wait a minute."

"I'll be back."

I've never heard it.

That's funny, right?

And I like that funnyness.

Me too. I like that kind of conversation.

And then what got me the most...

I went to a local Okonomiyaki place.

And he was there.

As a customer.

And he was really "nakai" with the owner of the Okonomiyaki.

And he was so happy.

He was with his family.

His wife and his kids.

From India?

I don't know. I have no idea.

I don't know where he was from.

Maybe from India?

Maybe yes.

They were talking in a language I couldn't understand.

He was with his family.

And I was like "Oh that is so heartwarming."

I was very happy to see that.

That's great.

I know.

And I...

06:01

I always want to go there every time I walk by.

That's why you always look from the outside of the store.

Check if he is there.

Always there.

And there is always zero customers in the store.

But they started doing it like Uber.

I think that's a positive.

I think that could be the saver maybe.

Hopefully right?

Yeah.

I like that kind of restaurant.

In our hometown where we live in,

there is an Indian restaurant.

And you didn't like how the employee treated you.

I once went there.

I was expecting a friendly guy.

You talk.

But they were so cold.

How did they interact?

I ordered...

I ordered a free Nandang set.

He said "Ah."

He actually said it.

Right. And then?

And then he went back to the place.

And gave me a half Nandang set.

And we were two with my friends.

And after eating that,

we finished eating that half Nandang set.

We ordered another free Nandang set.

And he was like, "Okay."

And then we gave each other one huge Nandang.

And he was like saying,

"That's all. Finish that and go back."

He was kind of like that.

He didn't want any additional orders.

So was it him as a person?

Or was it obvious that he didn't like the order that you were placing?

Or was it him as a person?

Or was it obvious that he didn't like the order that you were placing?

Or was he always that kind of person?

I don't know.

How about the first order?

Was he friendly?

No, he wasn't friendly from the beginning.

He said, "Okay."

But he wasn't showing that kind of a...

He was normal.

You didn't feel negativity from him.

Not friendly though.

But it was tasty.

Delicious though.

But you know...

But the customer experience was very important.

Conversation is much more important to me.

09:01

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's one thing about you, right?

You value so much of the experience.

Oh yeah.

The shopping experience over the actual product.

Yeah, I would buy...

Even if I don't even need that.

Yes.

When the conversation is good.

So like sales talk, right?

If that salesman is such a great guy.

And you get to know him so much.

You buy from him.

Even if you don't need the product.

That's something I...

I pay for the experience.

For the memory.

So if it was like...

Like Starbucks.

You must love Starbucks.

I do love Starbucks.

The experience they give you.

I always talk to the customer.

The employee.

What do you talk about?

Like what is your recommend?

What kind of beans is that?

Because you love coffee, right?

Talk to me about coffee.

What kind of coffee do you like?

Because I was a Starbucks employee.

Just letting you know.

I was a Starbucks guy.

Literally you are professional.

I was a manager at Starbucks.

I'm a fucking professional.

So what kind of coffee do you like?

I don't drink coffee.

I honestly don't drink coffee.

Is there no problem that you are saying that?

That is definitely a problem.

Okay.

Because you have to know every beans.

Yeah.

When you are in Starbucks.

But seriously not really.

It's not really a problem.

Because I justified it.

By saying I'm in for the customer service.

Not the beans.

I was saying things like.

I was open with the fact that I don't like the coffee.

I'm into customer service.

That's what Starbucks is all about.

That's how I justified it.

Justified it.

So I guess.

If I had to drink beans.

No, drink coffee.

I would do like a Verona kind of coffee.

Where it's really dark roasted.

And it's really thick.

Yeah.

Deep.

Deep roasted kind of beans.

That's what I would prefer.

If I had to drink one.

How about you?

I prefer not that deep one.

But I don't like the light acid coffee.

So I prefer a little bit.

You know.

Shibukairi.

Shibukairi beans.

Right.

You know how Starbucks explain.

Have you seen the Starbucks handbook.

Where they explain all the beans.

Oh no.

There's a list.

Of all the beans that Starbucks provide.

And it writes down all the characteristics.

Like the acidity.

Or like.

The bitterness.

I forgot what it was.

12:01

It must be like nutty taste.

Yes.

Have you ever thought a coffee was fruity?

I did.

Really?

I do.

I prefer a coffee with nutty taste.

And brown sugar taste.

I don't like peachy taste.

Like cherry taste.

You see.

I've never.

Never felt that flavor.

The aroma.

You know how the Starbucks coffee or any other coffee.

In general if you try to explain a coffee.

You would be like.

Oh this coffee has a fruity taste.

And what else?

Like a caramel.

I've never got that in my life.

And I was the one that had to teach.

All my employees.

Like a new part time job comes in.

And then she knows nothing about coffee.

And I'm the one who has to teach her.

And then okay.

This session and this hour.

We're going to be teaching you how to drink coffee.

And how to feel the aromas and all that shit.

I have to.

I have to like.

You have to smell her.

You have to smell the coffee first.

And sip it in your mouth.

And swirl it around your tongue.

And you feel that.

That's the nutty taste.

I'm the one feeling nothing at all.

Explain that.

That's a tough time.

I do make coffee at my house.

You have a grinder at your home right?

I buy beans and grind that.

Actually I like lattes.

I enjoy drinking lattes.

Espresso with milk right?

I do.

Why?

The milk.

Oh so you like milk basically.

I really like milk.

The sweetness of the milk.

Added with the bitter taste of the espresso.

It's really good to me.

I like brownies.

I'm pretty sure you add so many sugars in it.

No no no no.

I like the original.

Simple espresso milk latte.

I really like them.

I also like brownies with espressos.

Have you tried that before?

Are you talking about brownie via cake?

The actual brownies.

And you add espresso inside them.

That's not a coffee.

No I'm not talking about coffee.

I'm just talking about desserts.

That's a sweet drink.

Espresso sweets.

It was a mistake for me to recommend that too.

I've never...

You don't like sweets in the first place.

Yeah but it's just like...

Frappuccino things.

Like sweet latte.

Like...

Latte things.

What about it?

You like them?

I don't like them.

But at Starbucks you have that kind of thing.

Yeah I like them.

I like the original latte too.

I also like drinking a double shot latte.

15:01

Double shot latte?

Yeah, the double amount of espresso.

Within the same amount of milk.

I enjoy that.

So it's not like...

I'm an all sugar guy.

I also enjoy the...

The bitterness of the espresso.

I do.

You're a big guy huh?

I'm a big guy.

Alright?

Alright, thanks for listening again guys.

Thank you.

If you have any requests on the topic.

We so very very much appreciate it.

Yeah.

We were going to talk about Indian restaurant.

Ended up espresso talking.

Yeah.

So if you have any requests for a topic.

We would so much appreciate it.

We'll definitely get on it.

Thanks for listening again.

Bye bye.
