Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
It's gotta be quiet a little bit.
We're outside.
It's kinda late.
It's about 11.
Yeah, so we're in the neighborhood so we're gonna have to be quiet a little bit.
We were going home from the Kevin's English Room live.
Yep.
And why not take the podcast?
Yeah.
Okay.
And Yamate, you got one?
Yes.
So this is from Fei Fei San.
Fei Fei San.
Yes.
Arigatou gozaimasu.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good, good.
Okay, I guess that was a morning for her.
Yep.
Hope this DM find you well.
Okay.
I have been listening to your podcast these days and I think they are all interesting
and very useful in daily conversations.
Oh.
Especially for FU from non-English speaking country like me.
Oh.
By the way, I found it is really funny that Kevin san always forget what the topic is
on about.
Okay.
And here are my questions to you.
Have you guys got any ikigai in your life?
Damn.
So first of all, in life so far, is there something you wish you could dedicate more
time and energy to but just can't?
Lastly, I think you two already heard about this but I want to hear Kevin san's comment
on why a pizza is made round then packed in a square box and eaten in triangle.
Wow.
That's interesting.
Yep.
That's pretty interesting.
Is that interesting?
Yeah, that's, I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you for reading my message.
Wish you all the team health and safety.
Thank you Fei Fei san.
Thank you Fei Fei san.
She wrote everything in English, right?
Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you.
She's from...
It's great.
From abroad.
She's from abroad.
Okay.
And thank you for the kind words.
Very flattering.
Very excited to hear that.
Yeah.
And you know the pizza thing.
I thought that was very interesting, you know, it's made round in a square box and eaten
in triangle.
That's very, very interesting.
Is that interesting?
That's interesting, man.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, do you not think it's interesting?
No.
No.
No?
Why?
But why is that so interesting to you?
Because like that's, you know, it's, that's rare.
For a three-shaped to be...
Right.
Three-shaped to be, you know...
Right.
Why you don't make a pizza like in a square shape?
See I can understand each one of them because like, okay, so a pizza's made a circle because
03:04
like you know how they toss the little thingy and if it's round, it's evenly pressured.
That's why.
Right.
Right.
So that makes sense.
Yeah.
The box is square because of, you know, logistic reasons, right?
Yeah.
So it's square if it's in the issue.
People order these little pizza packages in hundreds, right?
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
They buy it in commercial lots.
So it's better to be square with less debt space.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
That makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
And I don't know why the triangle.
Right.
I don't know why the triangle.
But if you want to share that, like evenly.
Yeah.
You have to cut like...
Right.
Because the best, you know, best way of cutting them into pieces was the triangle.
Like cutting cakes.
Right.
That's the same thing.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And it's interesting that three shapes are...
Right.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
But...
In one activity.
Right.
What was the other topic?
There we go again.
So have you got any Ikigais in your life so far?
That's a huge question.
Yeah.
That's what I told you.
Because you know, we're on a road outside.
Uh huh.
And if it was a pretty light topic, that would be perfect for the situation.
But sorry about that.
Yeah, no problem.
It's a pretty deep topic.
Uh huh.
But like the fact that those two questions were like sitting next to each other, that's
kind of weird.
Yeah.
Right.
The Ikigai question and then like why the triangle?
Right.
It's a question that's really light.
So okay.
Ikigai.
I mean, that's a...
She told...
She said that Ikigai is something that you want to dedicate your whole life, but you
can't.
Uh huh.
Right.
Well, first of all, what is an Ikigai?
Right.
That's like the question I want to ask you.
What is an Ikigai?
Can you find them?
Wow.
Like, do you have an Ikigai?
And how do you know if that's it?
Wow.
Like, if it's not like it's like a change or something, right?
Yeah.
Isn't that hard?
Ikigai.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, if I find something that I really like and if my heart and my blood, my body
tells me to do that, like, and if I get enjoyment from doing that, yeah, of course I'd want
to pursue that happiness.
And ultimately that would probably be an Ikigai, but I don't know if that's it.
If that's the Ikigai or not.
But for me, it's making music.
Uh huh.
Singing.
Uh huh.
It's Ikigai probably.
Uh huh.
That's huge.
Yeah.
The fact that you can, you can say that, like the fact that you can like define that as
your Ikigai is, I think that's a, that's a huge step forward than where I am, I think.
06:01
I wouldn't say step forward, but like a completely different position than where I am.
Yeah.
I don't have a thing that would, that I can say definitely it's an Ikigai.
Yeah.
I don't, I haven't found that yet.
Like making like founding new businesses.
That's a possibility.
Right?
It's possible that that could be an Ikigai.
I haven't done much of it.
I haven't done it enough to me to determine whether if that's an, like an actual Ikigai
or not.
I'm starting to think that I, it's, it's, it's a waste of time to even trying to pursuit
a one Ikigai, right?
I'm starting to think that the whole journey itself is the answer to life.
I'm going in really deep here.
Yeah.
That's a deep one.
That's a really deep one.
But I agree with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the pursue, pursuing of that thing is what makes life, life.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
So that's, you know, that's what I'm thinking.
Yeah.
Well, that's a deep one.
That's a deep one.
Right.
Didn't she have another question?
I think there was like three.
If I remember.
What was that?
Or was that just two?
Wait, wait, wait.
That was, uh, and uh, yeah, that's all.
That's all?
These two questions.
Okay.
That's the opposite question, you know, like a really light one versus a really deep one.
Yeah, but she also said that it's really funny that, that, uh, Kevin-san always forget what
the topic is on about.
Not always, man.
Not always.
But same thing here.
It happens a lot, but not always.
Right.
But, uh, you know, Ikigai, that's a.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be one thing.
Right.
Like for me, it's making music and learning new things.
Yes.
One of my Ikigai.
Yeah.
And having good friends and spending time with them.
Yes.
It's, you know, it's not Ikigai.
Can I say it?
I don't know.
But I do.
I don't know if that's, if you can call that an Ikigai, but same as you, I get huge happiness.
Yeah.
Huge fulfillment from meeting people, having the connection, you know, that's a big one.
Yeah.
I can assure you that.
Right.
It's not something that I dedicate to do that.
It's just, you know.
Right.
It's your your nature.
Yeah.
Of happiness.
Right.
Right.
I understand.
I totally understand.
Yeah.
This topic is really huge for me.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
It will never end.
It will never end.
Like seriously, it will never end.
Yeah.
I really want to have like a like a conversation with other people.
About this.
Like I want to have some like guests in here and talk about this topic.
09:02
I want to know what other people feel about this topic, you know?
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Let's do that sometimes.
We should.
We should.
Invite someone.
Yeah.
We should.
Yeah.
I think we should, we can do like a, as far as I know, we could do like a live.
You know how we did last time where we were like on Instagram?
Instagram live and then connected through video.
Yeah.
If the logistics works out, you know, properly, that's a possibility.
Right.
Right.
If there's a way to do like an audio only connection, that would probably even be easier
for the users.
I know the one is called phone.
Phone?
Yeah.
So someone can call me and I can talk with them.
Okay.
That's a normal.
So I'm going to tell my number to everybody.
That's a normal everyday phone.
So it's 090.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll just stop it right there.
You don't want, you're not going to, you're not going to publish that, publish your phone
number out there.
Okay.
You're not going to do that.
So everyone can call me and I can connect this to you.
Okay.
No, no, we're not, we're not going to do that.
You're going to have like a fuckload of DMs in your phone.
So let's not do that.
And we're at the station.
Okay.
And that was the episode.
Thanks for listening in guys.
We'll see you again.
Bye.
Bye.
