Hello!
Good morning guys!
Good morning!
This program is brought to you by Kimi no Koi wo Todokeyou!
Anchor!
Mhmm!
We are creating and distributing our podcast with an app.
What was it? A little moment?
Yeah, I was like, I forgot what to say.
I'm still getting used to the app thing.
I'm trying to act cool.
Of course, of course.
I'm trying to sound like a real commercial guy.
Hahaha!
I don't think I've ever done it successfully without stuttering.
This program is brought to you by Kimi no Koi wo Todokeyou!
Anchor!
We are creating and distributing this podcast through an app called Anchor.
It's got all the features you need to create your very own podcast.
It's free. You can download it on Google Play or the App Store.
Hahaha!
So check that out if you're interested.
Hahaha!
As I was reading the ad, Yamachan is drinking this Asa-Ringo minute-made...
Yeah, Asa-Ringo meal.
Some shit, right? Some drink, shit.
Yeah.
And he was like, he was showing it to me.
Hahaha!
He was randomly showing it to me.
It's delicious, you know.
Like, yeah, facing the package towards me.
Yeah.
And it's like, look at it.
It's like two apples and a pack of food inside.
It's amazing.
Really distracted me.
Hahaha!
But I made it through.
I don't know if that was successful, but I made it through.
But you know, we've met the...
Yes.
The anchor...
The anchor Tantoshisa, right?
Yeah.
And she said, "Oh, thank you for the ad."
Yeah.
So she listened to it.
Yeah.
And we take that as an approval of how we're reading the ads.
Yeah.
You know?
We've been stuttered.
Mm-hmm.
We've laughed during the middle of the ad.
Yeah.
And we played around with the catch line.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And how we pronounce the word anchor.
Yeah.
Right?
In a very handsome voice or not.
Hahaha!
And we take that as a, "You're doing a good job."
Yeah.
Hopefully.
Yep.
We got to go to the Spotify studio for the Shuzai, right?
Yeah.
The Red Bull studio.
That was pretty exciting.
That was a big studio.
That was very cool.
When you saw the technology there.
Technology there, yeah.
Right?
What do you call those?
The, you know, mixing machine.
Right.
Yeah.
And it was actually like an actual studio for the...
For actual professionals.
Yeah.
Like Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
Like professional musicians so people can record their songs in it and they can mix
it.
And I'm not sure about mastering, but you know, it was a huge mixing machine and huge

speakers there.
Had a table.
Had a big ass table.
Yeah.
Full of like...
Yeah.
Like, gay...
Faders and...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have a fader.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All those things.
Like, too much to the point where I'm not even confident any of that makes a difference.
Like, it's just too detailed.
I don't know if that's...
If that would make it...
I don't know if one would...
How much one would make an impact.
Yeah.
One gauge there.
Yeah.
One indicator.
And there were so many speakers and so many machines.
Right.
Like, compressors or EQ machines or effectors.
Right.
Which made me really excited.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was so cool.
We might be able to record there, right?
Yeah.
Well, the podcast though.
Yeah.
We should have like a really perfect setup for the audio, you know?
Use really expensive microphone and wear headphones together.
Yeah.
Perfect EQ.
Perfect EQ.
Yeah.
That was great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you talked about the music with them.
Like, K-pop music.
Oh yeah, I did.
I did.
They really enjoyed K-pop.
Yeah.
They really love K-pop.
Yeah.
They're really nice.
Mm-hmm.
Like...
Really casual.
Yeah.
Friendly.
Fun and...
I guess it's really happy to work with them in that company.
Yeah.
Like after that, I felt like Spotify could be such a peaceful and happy workplace.
Yeah.
Like it came across my mind.
I thought for a second, maybe I should work for Spotify.
That's a really happy place.
But yeah.
I've been out of the...
That's true.
...corporate world for a long time now.
So maybe it might be a good chance to go back.
That's fun.
Work for several years.
True, true.
Right.
Yeah.
Maybe she'll call you then.
Right.
They recruit.
Right.
Call you.
Maybe, right?
Yeah.
Maybe she might be listening.
Yeah.
And maybe like...
Maybe she might call us.
Yeah.
We are... we do have an open position here.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Wow, that thing.

Like, it has their hands in front of their chest looking cute.
And it has a...
Like, really stands tall.

Yeah.
Say, um...
Uh...
Do you know any phrase?
For?
In a nutshell.
Cats and dogs.
Didn't know that.
Yeah, I've heard of the...
In a nutshell, but I actually didn't know what exactly it meant.
So I...
Yeah.
I didn't know that it meant, like...
In short terms.
Yeah.
Um...
Sorry.
Oh, sure.
Well, that's still...
That's 10 minutes, actually.
Okay, I'm gonna...
I'll teach you some phrase.
Let's see.
Um...
Fuck face?
It's one of my favorite slang phrase.
Maybe we should stop using those phrase because, you know, there's an anchor supporting us.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Maybe it's a bad idea.
Maybe it was a bad idea.
Well, that's a convenient phrase, right?
It is.
It's convenient.
You think it's a convenient phrase, right?
It is.
You think it's a convenient phrase.
Right.
So fuck face is like, um...
Okay.
When you...
When you...
When you wanna piss them off or, like, when you're mad at them, like, you wanna express
your anger.
Mm-hmm.
Like, you tell them that you're a fuck face and then that really pisses them off.
And it's really disrespectful.
Okay.
So only use it when you're mad.
Of course.
And when you just hate their guts.
Okay.
And, um, when you wanna hurt their feelings.
Yeah.
It's like a really effective one.
It's an effective one.
And it's a slang.
It's a bad word.
Yeah.
So it's a swear word.
So don't use it in public that much, okay?
Public that much.
Only use it with your friends.
Of course.
And with who you have trust.
Yeah, of course.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
That's what we teach.
Yes.
That's exactly what we teach.
Have you read our book?
Half of it is slang.
All right.
Thank you for listening back to our show.
We'll see you next time.
Bye.
[laughter]

All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Maybe let's talk about that in the next episode.
Yeah, the phrases.
The actual...
Of course, of course.
The actual, you know, useful one.
Okay, great.
I mean, fuck face is useful, but, you know...
But like, practical ones.
All right.

Bye-bye.
