Welcome to Kevin's English Room podcast!
Ah!
Thank you, that was...
You're welcome.
[laughter]
So I've got a message...
from...
Just a moment please.
Oh yeah, sure.
Okay.
[silence]
Okay.
This is from Miyuki-san.
Miyuki-san.
Thank you, Miyuki-san.
Hello, Kevin-san, Yama-chan-san.
Hello.
Thank you for your fun live streams.
Especially the stray cat episode the other day.
It was really interesting.
Thank you.
There's a stray cat that comes to my house every day.
If I give it a massage like you,
it'll be satisfied and go home.
[laughter]
Okay.
That's sweet, that's cute.
What? Really?
[laughter]
No!
No!
What?
That's crazy.
They bring some presents.
So like your door or something?
I mean...
Well maybe, right?
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Wow.
The other day I was walking to my house,
and there's this one cat that really loves me.
And I take care of him a lot.
No, no, no, not the big one.
It's a brown one.
Stripe. Brown stripes.
And I always...
He's my client.
My biggest client.
And as I was walking down,
the cat, right?
The brown cat just walked right next to me.
Oh really?
Isn't that cute?
And I stopped, and he stopped as well.
Oh really?
I started walking, he walked right next to me.
But I was kind of in a...
I didn't have time to massage him.
So I didn't do anything.
But I just walked.
But he walked right next to me.
It was so...
Like I felt that royalty.
I think it was kind of like a similar act of bringing rats.
Just showing, I guess, royalty.
Gratitude, I guess.
Wow.
Maybe he just wanted to be a treatment.
Massages.
Well, I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe it was royalty.
That's your perspective, right?
That's your perspective.
Yeah, sorry.
I don't think my client is that greedy.
Yeah.
I never met him, so sorry.
03:01
True, right?
Never judge anyone.
Relationship.
Yeah, yeah.
You need to have some respect, man.
The cat though.
Yeah.
I'm actually moving out in one month.
So that's kind of like disappointing.
We told... I talked about this in the podcast, right?
You were like, you try to like tell the address and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, I remember.
So, but at that moment, it was just you were only thinking about that.
Oh.
It's not decided yet.
It's final.
It's fixed.
Where is that?
I can't tell you.
Remember?
Remember Yamachan?
I can't tell you in the podcast.
But now it's fixed.
It's fixed.
Then you can say it.
No, that's not the point.
The point is that it's public.
Remember Yamachan?
Then I'm gonna say it.
No.
Instead of you.
Yamachan, no.
No, man.
We're talking about the cats.
Okay.
Okay, the cats.
I won't be able to massage the cats anymore.
That's a little disappointing, you know?
Yeah.
Because I'll be gone and just...
Yeah.
I don't think there's gonna be cats there.
Because it's...
True, true.
Right, it's Tokyo, so...
It's a little more central.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little more central.
I guess pigeons.
I guess pigeons will be my go-to massage.
They don't want a massage.
They just want some...
Little crumbs, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
What do you bring him?
The cats?
Yeah.
I don't know.
What if they're owned by somebody?
Remember, they have this little...
The tip of the ear is cut off.
Remember?
I don't know if I told you this.
That means...
That means it's being taken care of by whoever.
Okay.
I forgot if it's somebody like personal or like the...
The town is taking care of them or not.
I don't know.
But somebody is taking care of them.
Okay, so you shouldn't bring...
Yeah, I don't think so.
I don't think it's a good idea, right?
You have to say goodbye to him.
Yeah, just give him a goodbye massage.
The final treatment.
Yeah, the final treatment.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's sad.
That's a little sad, actually.
I think you're going to miss them.
Yeah.
Man.
Hope you'll find the new client in the next one.
Yeah, true.
True.
See, these cats aren't on social media or internet or anything.
So I can't really market to them properly.
It's just word of mouth.
Yeah.
Or...
Word of mouth or...
You know, just running into him.
Yeah.
Suddenly.
That's by luck, right?
So that's a little difficult.
True.
You can't use your TikTok to...
No, I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
You have to build trust from the beginning.
Yeah, you know.
06:00
It's a little...
Tough business, huh?
Tough business, right?
Man.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
We still have four minutes left.
All right.
Then the next one, maybe?
Um...
Wait, I want to talk to you about my new place.
Yeah.
How amazing it's going to be.
Okay, great.
Right now, I live...
So I live about nearly 20 minutes away from the station.
Nearly.
From your nearest station.
Exactly.
Wow, it's not that near.
Right.
And it's got hills.
Ah.
Steep hill.
Wow.
It's tough.
Nearest convenience store is like 10 minutes away.
Okay.
That's not that convenient, right?
Yeah.
And the next place...
It's like a minute.
Wow.
Oh!
Wow.
A minute.
From what?
From the station?
From the station.
From the convenience store?
From the nearest station.
Wow.
The convenience store is right next to the station.
Yeah, because the station is big.
Yes.
Oh my God.
From one minute from the station?
Yamachan.
I can't believe this is happening.
From one minute?
One minute, literally.
Ah, so, you know, because it's Tokyo, there's a lot of stations nearby.
Yeah.
So, six minutes from a very big station.
I see.
One minute from a very...
It's very near.
Yeah, still very near, right?
One minute from like a...
Yeah, like a metro...
Metro kind of station, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So...
Wow.
A huge upgrade.
Huge.
I'm just blown away by the reality that's going to be waiting for me when I move.
It's just...
I think it's just going to be a whole different life.
Wow.
You know?
Must be.
I will walk out of my house and walk one minute and I reach Famichiki.
That is crazy.
That is the closest Famichiki I've ever experienced.
The closest Famichiki, yeah.
Oh my God.
Okay, isn't that too accessible to you?
Maybe so that you can access those Famichiki snacks so easily.
That I might get fat?
Maybe.
Well, that's a good point.
That's a good...
Okay.
So, I have to control myself not to eat Famichiki so much.
Like for a day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
But...
Wow, wow.
Still though.
So...
I'm so excited.
So much.
Oh.
Wow.
Excited.
Excited, man.
I'm just excited.
Wow.
09:00
So...
What about the new house itself?
Is it a big one or...
I haven't seen what it is yet.
It's my father's friend.
I'm borrowing it from my father's friend.
Okay.
So, he's letting me borrow it for a cheaper price.
Oh, nice, nice.
So, I really didn't care what kind of room it was.
Because it's near from the station.
Yeah.
It's in the middle of Tokyo.
It's Tokai.
So, I really didn't care how big it was.
Yeah.
My room right now is really small.
So, I'm sure it's going to be bigger than the one right now.
So, there's not going to be any downside I feel like.
Yeah.
Wow.
Just wanted to share that excitement, man.
Yeah.
I'm just excited for that.
Yes.
Wow, nice.
You're going to be the city boy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I can go anywhere by walk.
Yeah.
Like bicycle or walk.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's all.
Bye bye, guys.
Bye guys! (laughing)
