Hey guys welcome back to another episode of Kevin's English Room.
Hug yes!
We're still in the restaurant and it's really quiet in here.
So it's kind of...
Like I would hesitate to like talk loudly.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Ah just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
It's too quiet for me.
Yeah.
I like noisy.
I like things.
In America, like you know it's usually more loud.
Yes.
In any ways.
Uh-huh.
Is that right?
Right.
And I think you notice this but like a lot of the foreigners they come to Japan and their
volume level is like way too high compared to the people around them right?
Right.
And they probably don't even realize that.
Right.
And I think especially American people are loud.
Yes that happens.
Right.
And I understand how Japanese people feel when they're in that kind of situation.
They'd be in the train and be like "Oh they're so loud.
Wow trying to sleep here."
Because I have that kind of sensitivity inside me I always hesitate you know to go in for
that volume.
Because you're Japanese right?
Yeah right right.
I love the Japanese culture you know.
So there's a fly over here.
Does he want to collaborate with us?
What do you mean?
Look at this fly right here.
Yeah.
Always staying.
He is not moving.
Or he just wants to talk to you.
Yeah.
Let's collaborate.
Alright so.
What do you got for us today?
So I have one question from Yuka-san.
Okay.
Go ahead.
She's living in New York City.
Uh-huh.
Is that near from Georgia State?
New York City?
Yeah.
It's not near.
Oh really?
Yeah.
She feels that it's near from Georgia.
New York right?
Yeah.
It's in the uh.
It's in NC.
Is that New York City?
NC.
NC.
No NC is not New York.
It's uh.
NC.
North Carolina?
North Carolina.
Yes.
North Carolina.
Is that near from Georgia?
That's close.
Yeah that's close.
Oh really?
So we have pulled pork.
Yes.
I love it.
Which you have mentioned before.
I absolutely love it.
So um.
What would your side menu when you order pulled pork?
Yes.
What she said.
She prefers having colored green.
Colored green.
What's that?
Mac and cheese.
I don't know what colored green is.
What's that?
I know what mac and cheese is but I don't know what colored green is.
Let's look it up.
Yeah.
It must be some kind of vegetable.
No?
Broccoli maybe?
Like the first thing that came to my mind was like broccoli.
03:03
Oh this is a vegetable named colored green.
It looks like.
What does it look like?
Spinach?
Right.
Yeah.
Well uh.
It wouldn't be colored green.
It would probably be um.
Do you like vegetables?
Yeah I do.
I love vegetables.
You really like them?
I do.
Why?
But you don't eat that kind of thing?
Yeah well I mean.
If it's with pulled pork I would choose something different.
Like I love vegetables like in general.
But not.
It depends on what food.
I mean like if it's like hamburgers it wouldn't be a vegetable.
It would be like fried potatoes right?
I can't understand the differences between the two.
Like there's some food that matches.
Right.
Yeah.
And I'm talking about pulled pork right now.
And the vegetables is not the match for pulled pork.
I would probably choose um.
Gee.
Uh.
You know.
Pulled pork.
Uh.
Hmm.
Uh.
Uh.
Let me see my options.
Alright.
For me you know.
Having vegetables.
Mmhmm.
Is quite natural.
Because you're a healthy guy?
Well yeah I think maybe.
But you know obviously having pork right?
Yes.
It's pulled pork.
Mmhmm.
So you have meat.
Mmhmm.
And vegetable.
Ah.
Right right.
You don't think so?
Yeah I mean I agree.
Okay.
Remember Fo-chan?
Fo-chan's favorite food is hamburgers.
Oh really?
Because it's got the vegetables and the meat and the bread.
He said it's got all the nutrients inside it.
That's what he said man.
Wow he's really cute.
Yeah he's a cute guy.
Cute man.
Yeah.
You know I think french fries.
By looking at these pictures.
I think french fries would be like the best one.
Okay.
Like hey French I love french fries.
I know you love them too.
Yeah me too.
I would have to say french fries.
Alright.
But like I don't.
Like when I say.
When I think about pulled pork.
I really don't have any side menus.
That.
So you only eat pork?
Yeah.
Yeah I always eat just pulled pork and like maybe Coca Cola or something.
Okay.
Just soda.
Something like that.
I don't.
I don't really have a very strong image of eating pulled pork with a side dish.
Okay.
But if I had to I think I would do like french fries.
French fries.
Would be a great choice.
Okay.
06:00
So what is mac and cheese?
It's macaroni and cheese.
Okay.
Mac and cheese.
Macaroni and cheese.
Macaroni.
You know what macaroni is?
Yeah it's a penne.
Penne.
Yeah I think it's penne.
It's a melted cheese.
Okay.
It's a popular I guess dinner I guess.
Oh really?
Maybe lunch or something.
But it's a popular dish.
Gratin kind of thing?
Yes.
It's really good.
It's um I love them.
Mac and cheese.
Mac and cheese.
I would every time I go back there I would eat mac and cheese.
Oh really?
So that's the um.
Yeah it looks very unhealthy.
It has no vegetables.
Just pasta and cheese.
That's all it is.
It really is.
That's all it is.
It's I think it's really really American.
It is it is it is.
Okay.
But it looks great.
Yeah it looks great right?
It is great.
You know we've talked about a hamburger shop today.
While we were coming here.
Yeah.
The name of the shop the restaurant is Mac and Cheese.
Oh okay.
It's called Mac and Cheese.
Yeah.
I hope they sell one.
Right.
Do they?
I don't remember that.
I ate hamburgers I think.
Mac and cheese.
Okay.
So is there any questions?
No but let's talk about this.
Okay.
American food.
Yeah sure.
I think it's really really unhealthy.
It looks really unhealthy to me.
I mean no doubt man.
Absolutely.
Like okay this is very unhealthy.
So like you're eating pizza.
Mm-hmm.
Hamburgers.
Mm-hmm.
And pulled pork.
Yes.
And
Yeah.
And French fries.
Mm-hmm.
That's like for me it's too unhealthy to me.
Yeah.
But you know I'm okay.
You know like I.
Yeah you grew up really healthy.
I think I'm pretty fit.
Yeah.
You know like physically you know like I don't know I did have age like days or like years
when I only ate those kind of quote-unquote American food like the no vegetables just
all like you know.
Whatever it is.
Cheese.
Meat.
Mm-hmm.
Those kind of things right like this.
The what you call the unhealthy food.
Right.
The American style.
I was okay.
I had no problem.
My health level was I think you know it was okay.
It felt to me like it was okay at least you know.
I've never had a health check though but.
But it's natural for American people right.
Mm-hmm.
You know the funny thing is I feel a little bit healthier when I eat lots of sugar every
day like.
What do you mean?
I don't know but like every so there was this one week where I ate like a chocolate like
chocolate every day.
Chocolate and ice cream every night.
And that week I have I felt so like healthy like I don't know I woke up.
09:01
What are you talking about?
I woke.
You have to fix the word healthy before you talk about that.
Right.
I just felt like I my energy level was high you know.
I'm not talking about sugar high.
I probably wasn't sugar high because I.
Yeah.
Like when I woke up I woke up you know very with a clear body and clear mind.
Every other day I suck at waking up waking up by the way like every morning I feel terrible.
Really?
Yeah.
I just scream because of my.
You scream when you wake up?
Like I wake up.
Kind of like zombie thing.
Yeah zombie waking up.
Hmm.
That's weird.
It is.
Have you ever had any huge like this?
No.
Never.
Never had them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
OK.
So I guess my body is like has adjusted to the American.
Mm hmm.
The American cuisine kind of style.
Right.
So my body is more comfortable taking in so much more sugar than the average so-called
healthy eating practices.
OK.
Yeah.
I don't you know.
OK.
I see.
I don't agree with you but I see.
I got it.
I don't know.
That could happen really you know.
Yeah.
My body could really be.
Right.
Have adjusted to the American style.
Right.

It might be.
Yeah.
Well that's it for me.
OK.
