Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Kevin!
I think that was a little monster inside me.
With the cup of coffee here?
Yes.
How's that?
The Italian roast.
Yes?
Yes.
Very good.
Very strong.
Stronger than I remember.
Really?
I don't recall Italian roast being this strong.
Really?
Wow.
Compared to the one you...
I used to drink when I was a Starbucks guy.
Okay.
Yeah.
For me, all Starbucks coffee tastes like...
Tastes strong?
Like really strong.
Alright, so I have a special present to you today.
What?
What was that, man?
Ah...
Ta-da!
What is this?
Do you know this?
Harry Potter...
100 million dollar one.
Yes!
Oh!
I have never tried it before.
Wow, really?
It is the first time.
Let's go, let's go.
Okay, okay, let's do this.
Well, actually this is...
I met...
Like, as I told you, I went to Utah when I was 12 years old.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the host, Jesse, the guy is now living in Japan.
Oh, really?
And I didn't know about that, but he sent me a message.
And I met him like two days ago.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
That's good, that's good.
That's like 14 years.
What a story.
Yeah.
And he gave it to me.
Okay.
He bought it from...
Got it, got it, got it.
It looks...
The package is really cute.
Like, it seems like a cigarette package.
Yeah.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
And the flavor...
I didn't know that...
Hyakumibinzu is not written anywhere.
Because they bought it in the U.S.
Oh, shit.
Well, actually when I went to his house, we stayed in the same room, in his room, and
slept together.
Uh-huh.
And one night, he bought this.
Uh-huh.
And we tried to eat this for whole night.
Okay.
And that was a memory.
Okay.
So fun memory.
So he bought this as a souvenir from the U.S.
Ah.
So you remember.
You had this before.
I do remember.
You remember the taste?
How delicious are they?
I do remember.
How delicious they are.
Would be like the correct way to say it.
What did I say?
How delicious are they?
Oh, okay.
They are.
How delicious they are.
They are.
Right, right, right.
So why I'm doing this is because last time I spoke with him, I said, "Oh, I'm going to
do this."
Last time I spoke with Yama-chan.
Yeah.
And we were kind of like, "How do we want to continue this kind of podcast?"
Uh-huh.
And we were like in the direction of let's be a little bit more, more in like the teaching
03:02
in English kind of style.
This is like, this is a new style.
So we might continue this.
We might not continue this.
Uh-huh.
Like it might get in the way of me being, you know, in the vibes.
Right.
We may not continue, but we will try.
Yeah.
We will see how this brings value.
Yeah.
To the audience.
At least for me, that's a value.
Okay.
Because I can learn new things.
Okay.
And also for the listeners, maybe that will be the value.
Good.
So every once in a while, if I catch you saying it correctly, I will do my best to correct
them.
Thank you.
Okay.
So let's...
I do remember how delicious they are.
Yes.
Right.
There you go.
Let's open the package.
I got...
So it's...
Br...
Br...
Brady Botts.
That's the name of it.
Brady Botts beans.
Yeah.
Every flavor beans.
It's got grass, green apple, marshmallow, rotten eggs, sausage, lemon, soap.
What's that?
Tootsie fritzie.
What's that?
I don't know.
Vomit, watermelon, earwax, earthworm, dirt, cinnamon, cherry, candy floss, burger, blueberry,
blackberry, banana.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
I'm so excited right now.
I am so excited right now.
Do you know this?
I know this.
Like, I know that this existed ever since I was a college student.
And I just smelled the package and it was horrible.
What?
Let me smell it.
Oh.
Not that bad.
I can kind of smell like the...
What?
Ew.
What?
I don't know.
Like some kind of like maybe burger.
Okay.
All right.
You know, there are a lot of flavors.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You know, there are some good tastes.
Right, right.
I saw that.
There's like lemon.
Yeah.
Cherry.
Those are pretty good.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
The first one, I'm not going to look at the beans.
Just randomly out.
Yeah.
So this, I got this little dark green one.
It's green apple.
Wow.
That's good.
Yeah, yeah.
Try the green apple for me.
You need some sugar.
Yeah.
How's that?
Is that green apple?
Yep.
Good.
Okay.
Okay.
Green apple's good.
All right.
All right.
I mean, of course it's green apple.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
I'm going to have coffee break.
There's strong coffee here, so.
Yeah.
06:00
Okay.
Next up.
All right.
Come on.
Okay.
Okay.
We got purple looking beans.
What is that?
Huh.
I think it's really difficult to tell.
Yeah.
I'm assuming it's this.
Yeah.
Candy floss.
Oh, this one maybe?
No.
Ah, maybe earthworm.
Yeah, but.
Candy floss or earthworm.
It's not exactly the same.
Yeah, maybe the, yeah.
Candy floss.
Okay.
I'm going to try.
Yep.
It smells like candy floss.
Okay.
Oh, not bad actually.
Really?
Yeah.
What was that?
What was that candy?
Candy floss.
Candy floss.
It's like a little floss for your teeth.
Ah.
Right?
Tastes like candy.
Ah.
Oh.
What?
The aftertaste.
Wow.
Earthworm.
Earthworm aftertaste.
Not bad at all.
Yeah, right.
But if you expected sugar.
Yeah.
And it came out as earthworm.
Yeah, right.
That's a surprise, right?
Mm-hmm.
But not as bad.
Okay.
It's still consumable.
Okay.
Right?
I'm going to try this one.
Yeah.
It's a little bit like a candy floss.
Yeah.
It's a little bit like a candy floss.
Yeah.
It's a little bit like a candy floss.
Yeah.
It's a little bit like a candy floss.
Yeah.
I'm going to choose from this and look for it inside.
Okay.
I'm going to try the most rotten eggs.
Yeah.
Let's do rotten eggs.
Yeah, let's go.
What's that?
Oh, it came out.
Can I eat this one?
Yeah, sure.
You don't want to know what flavor it is?
It must be cherry something, no?
It's cinnamon.
It's cinnamon.
It's cinnamon.
It's cinnamon.
It's cinnamon.
It's cinnamon.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
Good with coffee.
Right.
You're right.
Cinnamon does go good with coffee.
So this is rotten eggs.
Wow.
It smells fine.
It smells like a...
I don't really smell anything.
Okay.
I'm going to have coffee before this.
Reset my mouth.
Yeah.
Okay.
Rotten eggs, here we go.
Holy shit.
Wow.
Oh, yeah, that's bad.
Okay.
Oh, that's already bad.
Okay.
Oh, you're almost crying.
Oh, shit.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Like, I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm going to have to do it again.
Like...
I almost puked.
09:04
Wow.
Like, you're almost crying.
Holy shit.
I have tears coming out of my ears.
Eyes.
Not ears, eyes.
That was pretty bad.
Oh, that was pretty bad.
Wow.
That's more than I expected.
Yeah.
Like...
How was the taste?
I did feel something rotten.
Okay.
Like, before I ate these, I was like, I was confident that like, it's just beans.
It's just sugar beans.
What's the worst that could happen, right?
Candy.
It's just candy, right?
It's consumer products.
Yeah.
What's the worst that could happen?
But like, it was something rotten.
Yeah.
I did taste it.
It really felt like I was eating something rotten.
Wow.
Oh, it's...
Yeah.
I almost threw up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm gonna try something good.
All right.
I'm gonna try something...
Something that's tasty.
Okay.
Like what?
I want like cherry.
Like earwax, maybe?
No, no.
Like lemon.
Lemon.
Let's refresh our mouth with lemon.
Okay.
Yeah, I didn't think it was this hard.
You know what?
This kind of looks like lemon, but it also looks like earwax.
So that's very dangerous.
What?
You avoided that?
Yeah.
But okay.
But I'm gonna go with earwax.
I think that's a lemon.
I think this is...
I think this is...
Look at that.
Look at the color.
This is earwax.
Okay.
Which one is lemon?
This is lemon.
Okay.
Definitely earwax.
