Welcome to Kevin's English room podcast!
Yay!
Unpredictable weather today, you know?
Yes!
Unpredictable, very.
It's sunny right now.
Right now it's sunny.
Yeah.
But I was on my way here from...
It was about an hour away.
From your house?
No, it was...
I was recording TikTok.
Ah, okay.
Came directly from there to here.
Wow.
It's like an hour away.
And when I first started riding...
When I first got out of the TikTok recording studio,
it was raining.
Yeah.
And I was like, "Oh no, it's raining."
But it was only a little bit.
So I got on the bicycle and started riding it.
Wow.
Then after 10 or 15 minutes, it was really sunny.
Extremely hot.
Yeah.
Then 15 minutes later, it started raining.
Oh, again?
Right, raining again.
And then 15 minutes later, extremely hot.
And it's very unpredictable.
Yeah.
It's really strange today.
Yeah.
Yesterday as well, you know?
Were you outside yesterday or no?
What was that?
Yesterday.
It was sunny yesterday?
It was supposed to be cloudy,
according to the weather.
But it was raining yesterday, right?
Yeah.
In some spots, it was pouring.
Yeah.
Like, it was really like...
There was some thunder.
Yeah.
You know, it was heavy rain.
It was, yeah, thunder and heavy rain.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know we say "cats and dogs"?
It's "raining cats and dogs"?
It's like a "kanyoku".
Oh, really?
What does it mean?
When you say "it's raining cats and dogs",
it means "doshaburi".
Wow.
"Baketsu wo hikkurekai shita ka no you na".
That's what it means.
Okay.
"Cats and dogs".
"Raining cats and dogs".
One point English there.
That's nice.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow, so it was a tough day for you.
Yeah, it was...
I haven't gotten much use to the bicycle riding for an hour.
Yeah.
More than an hour kind of riding.
Yeah, not many people.
My ass is in pain.
Yeah, of course.
Because you're riding on that, like, the professional...
Right.
You know.
The professional one.
What was it called?
The mountain bike?
Mine's a cross bike.
A cross bike, yeah.
Right.
How do these Kei-din senshu deal with these ass problems?
They have a...I think they have an even tinier seat than I do.
Yeah.
But I'm sure that they don't...like, they're riding with tachikogi style.
Oh, really?
So they actually don't need the seats then?
Yeah, like Kei-din, like in a truck.
Truck, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, the field.
Kei-din senshu.
They always tachikogi.
Right.
They're always putting their full weight on the titles, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, like, Tour de France.
Right.
Riding people.
03:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah, those kinds.
I think they ride as usual way.
Really?
I think so.
It's really, really long.
How long do they last for?
Like, it's...
Half a day?
Really long.
More than half a day, you think?
Yeah.
I've heard that people who...like, the top athletes...
Mm-hmm.
Oh, you got them?
Yeah.
You got the thing?
If there was, like, in kilometers...
Mine's, like, 15 to 20 kilometers long.
Mai-tsukin kyori.
Ah, tsukin kyori.
Right.
Like, a little less than 20 kilometers.
And how long is the Tour de France?
Okay, 3,300 kilometers.
Holy shit!
That's crazy!
3,000?
That's crazy!
Wait, 3,000?
Yeah, it's during...
So what's 100 times more?
It's during, like, 23 days in July.
23 days?
Yeah.
So they...obviously they put stops in between, right?
Yeah, of course, of course, yeah.
Obviously.
Okay.
I thought it was, like, nonstop.
Okay.
Wow.
Right.
And also it's in a mountain road.
So it's much more tougher.
Yeah.
You got the ups and downs.
Oh, wow.
I've heard that these Kei-din senshu, they're...
Like, these Tour de France top-level people, they...
They're...Shimonote Alert, by the way, guys.
I'm sorry, Shimonote Alert.
But you...
The seeds are...they stab into your balls so much that they kill their semen and they kill their sperms and they are unable to produce any more of the sperms anymore.
Really?
Right, that's what I heard.
So it's, like, much more difficult for them to produce babies.
Because their seeds are so much damaging their testicles, that's why.
Yeah, it's really hard and...
Exactly.
Wow, that's a tough job.
That is a tough job.
That's a lot of sacrifice.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's true, though, but that's what I heard.
Wow.
From a random source of information.
Yeah, but I can imagine that.
Right, right.
It's a possibility.
Yeah.
Tough, tough, right?
Wow.
There's no problem for you?
I don't think that's a problem.
I think I'm fine.
I'm only doing like...
You don't have to worry about that.
You don't want to sacrifice that.
Right, right.
But mine's only 20 kilometers, so compared to them, I think I'm fine.
I think I'm only doing a little bit of a...
Yeah, but you ride every day, every day.
You're right.
I might.
Be careful about that.
Maybe I should buy some sort of a protector, if they have one.
06:01
I think a lot of people would enjoy having a more comfortable seat in these cross bikes, you know?
I think it's painful.
Who doesn't feel the pain?
Who doesn't enjoy the mamachari kind of seats on a cross bike?
Right, why do they not do that?
Maybe it reduces speed, maybe?
Maybe.
The thicker those get, maybe it gives it more friction between your inner thighs, maybe?
And then like...
Yeah.
Why don't you just buy your mamachari...
That's a great idea.
And put your...
That's actually a great idea.
If it actually fits, you know, if the size is the same, that's very realistic.
It will look...
It will look kind of...
Ugly.
It does.
It probably will.
It will probably look out of style, but better than having a painful body, right?
Yeah, of course.
Exactly.
Of course.
Right.
Wow, and I...
You got...
Like your skin...
Oh, me?
Turned.
Oh yeah, did I?
Yeah.
You think I got darker?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's because of the...
Look at this area.
My shoulder.
It's really much wider than this.
Right!
The shoulders, right?
Yeah.
It's obviously...
Within the past several days...
So like two weeks ago, you were like that color.
The shoulder color.
That white color, yeah.
Now...
Right now you are like this dark.
It's fairly tanned.
Yeah.
It's pretty dark, you know?
I think my face has gotten tanned too, right?
Like, right.
Do you see a mask kind of?
No gradation or something like that?
No.
No.
Okay.
All right, that's good.
That's strange though.
That's...
Yeah.
You're wearing a mask, right?
But I...
Right, but when I...
So when I'm riding bicycles, I sing.
And I sometimes...
You sing?
Okay.
It moves all the time.
So maybe it doesn't have a stable spot, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
I know.
I'm kind of looking forward that you...
Being extremely black?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're gonna...
Like extremely like...
Yeah, it's gonna happen, dude.
It's gonna happen.
I'm a dark colored.
You're gonna...
You're planning to get your bicycle, aren't you?
I was planning.
But, you know, as I don't have any parking and I can't bring my bike in my place, so
I kind of...
You know, I can't buy.
The reason why your landlord said that you can't bring bicycles in this place is because
you can't use the elevators to bring those bicycles up, right?
09:02
Yeah, actually the lift and hallways.
You can't put them in the hallway.
Yeah.
Because it's a Kyo-yu area.
Yeah, property, so...
Like they worry about my bike is dirty, I think.
It's on the road.
Right, right, right, right.
It's going through all the dirt area.
But your shoes goes through the same road, right?
Right.
They're dirty as well.
Right.
Right?
Can you find some sort of other parking areas?
I think...
Don't you have like a bicycle parking area over there?
Yeah, over there.
Like Tsukigime parking area.
How much is that?
It was like 5,000 yen.
That's fairly good amount of money.
Yeah.
You know?
Expensive.
Yeah.
Like it's really close to the station, you know?
So it's expensive.
Yeah.
For me, like, think about that amount.
Like not having bicycle might be better.
Because like one of the big merits of having bicycle is that you get to reduce the transportation
cost.
But like if the parking cost higher than the transportation cost, what's the point, right?
Right.
I get you.
All right, all right.
So I don't have a bike right now.
But if I have had one, I really love to go to the river, you know?
Oh, it's not raining.
It's raining again.
Wow.
It's a crazy weather.
What is wrong?
It looks sunny from the window, you know?
Yeah.
But I guess above us is a cloudy cloud.
Cloudy cloud.
Cloud, right?
I don't know.
Weird.
How's your head?
Have you heard about Kitsune no Yomeiri?
No.
Super station?
No.
Super station?
No, sorry.
Super station.
Kitsune no Yomeiri.
Super station.
That's a super station.
Super station, okay, what about it?
Kitsune no Yomeiri.
No, I don't know what that is.
If the weather looks sunny but rain.
Rain at the same time.
There's some Kitsune no Yomeiri is getting being hauled, being held.
Oh, some fox is getting married.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's celebration, isn't it?
Celebration, yeah.
Isn't that like a congratulation kind of event?
Yeah.
Isn't that a happy event?
No?
Are foxes, they don't represent something good or is that what you mean?
No, no, no.
Okay.
Let me search.
Kitsune no Yomeiri.
Okay.
I don't know if this is a happy event or not.
12:09
I can hear the rain.
Yeah.
Dropping by the window.
It's not.
It's not happy event.
Okay.
But it's not sad event.
It's just the event is happening.
It's just some random neighbor getting married.
It's just the same situation.
It's a little bit sad though.
Okay.
Maybe a little bit of a bad luck?
A little bit.
Okay.
Like they tried to hide that ceremony.
Oh.
By, you know, the rain.
Okay.
All right.
So it's not supposed to be happening.
At least not anywhere visible.
Okay.
Wow.
Well, I mean, I mean, yeah, for the, yeah, you do you foxes.
I mean, you get yours.
I mean, you, yeah, foxes.
Go get it.
Get them.
Yo.
It's your day.
Yeah.
Get yours, man.
All right.
Get yours.
All right.
I think that's about it.
All right.
Thanks for listening guys.
Bye bye.
Bye.
All right, I think that's about it. All right. Thanks for listening guys. Yeah
Bye bye.
