Okay.
So, got a message from Kaho-san.

[laughter]
Yoroshiku onegai shimasu.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, nice question.
Yeah, it's a good question.
I've never heard anyone say "Oh my Buddha."
Oh, really?
I've never heard of anyone...
Have you?
No.
No, right?
Well, because they don't speak English.
Well, true.
Okay.
Maybe.
Isn't Buddha a god?
Oh, it's Buddha.
Oh, okay.
I mean...
Excuse me for that.
My...
My being undereducated.
He's not like the, you know, god.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, that was...
Yeah, respect.
Okay.
So, I've never heard of anyone say "Oh my Buddha."
And, yeah, some people do say "Oh my gosh."
Or "Oh my...
Oh my...
What was the...
Goodness?
Yeah, goodness.
For...
To not use the Lord's name in vain.
That's what they say.
To use the Lord's name in vain is like using words like "god" or "Jesus" in a slang.
It's thought of as like a taboo.
So, people who do think using the Lord's name in vain is bad will say "Oh my gosh" or "Oh
my goodness."
And some people don't say it like me.
So...
Oh my goodness.
Oh my gosh.
Any other variants?
Well, oh my...
03:00
Oh my...
Well, I guess those two are like the most common ones.
Yeah.
And from that on, you can just create your own.
Like anything is okay.
Okay.
Oh my pumpkin pie.
Oh, okay.
Well, it's not that common.
Like I don't recommend you using it.
But like it's possible.
Okay.
Oh my pumpkin pie.
Oh my...
Oh my...
Oh my...
What?
Like anything?
Yeah.
But that's going to be considered funny though.
Okay.
Right?
It's...
You're now in the funny zone.
Okay.
You're now in the world of like comedy.
Okay.
Like if you go into that.
Okay.
Not like serious fun.
Yeah.
Not like a common use.
It's not a common language.
It's more like...
Yeah.
Like...
There is...
There...
Other than goodness and gosh, they're just oh my.
Oh, only...
That's also a thing too.
Oh my.
You don't say the rest.
Anything.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh...
Oh, I've heard the oh my was.
Yeah.
Is that...
What is...
Is that same thing?
It's the same thing.
Was.
So that's...
Yeah.
Not as common though, but yes.
Okay.
Okay.
So you change into was.
Yeah.
You change the word into was.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Changing into...
Ah...
I don't know if that's a replacement of, you know, God.
Okay.
Okay.
It's just like...
Oh, that's something to say when you're surprised.
My word.
Oh, okay.
But I don't know.
It's not that common though.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Uh...
Right.
Oh my pizza.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
It makes sense?
But it's not...
It's not common though.
Okay.
That's funny.
Okay.
Okay.
Right.
But people can understand.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
I should say like oh my sushi or like oh my wasabi.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Japanese style going.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that they can laugh.
Kind of joking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh...
Okay.
But everybody says that.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
A lot of...
I feel like, you know, the more...
The more...
Elderly people don't say it as much.
Okay.
They don't say God.
They use the Lord's name in vain.
06:00
Yeah.
But it doesn't matter if you're like Christian guy or like Buddhist lady or...
No.
No.
Everybody says that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh my Lord.
Oh my Lord.
I've heard that too.
Uh-huh.
My Lord.
My...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're not like heavy Christian guy.
I'm not Christian at all.
At all.
Okay.
But still you say it.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
It's a slang.
Yeah.
So you don't actually imagine the God itself.
No.
You're just saying it.
Yeah.
I'm just saying it.
It's an expression.
Okay.
That's how I interpret it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So all my Buddha can be like...
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
As a twist to the expression, it's possible.
Okay.
Right?
If you're...
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's funny, don't you?
Yeah.
Like everybody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But don't think it's 100% funny, right?
Okay.
You need to like read the room.
Yeah.
Of course.
Right?
The atmosphere matters.
Yeah.
Right?
And how you say it matters.
Yeah.
Right?
So I'm not taking any responsibility.
Yeah.
Of course.
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm going to be...
Let's move on to the next...
Okay.
It's a...
Okay.
You've already got a big message from the listeners to you.
Okay.
Yama-chan, Kevin-kun, hajimemashite.
Mikiko to moushimasu.

Okay.
You noticed it, huh?
Okay, you noticed it.
Alright, you got me.
I can notice.
You got me.
But what?
You got me.
09:00
I did it.
I did it.
But what?
I did it.
I bought a douganai glasses.
Yeah.
I've been using... you know this already.
Yeah.
I'm excited with that.
Yeah.
I'm excited with that.
Yeah, so...
No, I thought you did kind of surgery.
Actually, that was kind of my dream when I was in high school, to become a futae.
I actually thought... I actually wanted to do that.
Yeah, it's a strange dream.
Yeah.
But what's happening the last several months is I've...
When I go to Kake-chan's place or anywhere for recording, I have to...
I use public transportation, which means there's going to be other people around me,
which means I don't want...
Like me being noticed, there's times I don't want to be noticed, right?
Yeah.
So I put contacts on because I kind of look different without the glasses.
Yeah.
So I put contacts on, get on the train, and get to Kake-chan's place.
Yeah.
And I don't want to take the contacts out, put it in the hoson eki, and that's too much to do.
So I just put on... I decided to buy the same glasses without the...
What do you call the... What do you call doug?
I don't know, but...
The...
Magical?
The mag... Magical!
Science magical.
Science magical.
What the fuck is that? How am I supposed to use that to describe that?
So yeah, I just bought douganashi no megane.
I bought it, so I put that on.
And we already talked about this with you and Kake-chan,
but it looks like my eyes get bigger.
Yeah, actually.
Right?
That's probably where you're coming from.
You seeing me in the douganashi glasses, it makes my eyes look like the...
Big eyes.
Big eyes or something, right?
Yeah, and I agree. I feel like that happens.
Maybe that's what you're talking about.
So that's the answer for the futai seikei gibaku.
I'm using a... Yeah, the glasses.
Well that means when you're wearing the douari glasses, then your eyes get smaller.
Yeah, I do.
Well that's sad.
No?
But you know, I'm planning on wearing my real glasses more often.
Okay. On YouTube?
Yeah, on YouTube and recording.
Because my eyes get tired so much.
Oh.
It's so...
Of contact lenses?
Yeah.
Oh.
No, contact lenses. If it's just a contact lens, it's okay.
Okay.
But if it's contact lens with the douganashi megane, I don't know why,
but it's just so... like tiring.
12:02
Oh really?
And it just makes me want to take it off.
Oh.
So what that does to my eyes, I go like this a lot.
I squint a lot.
Okay.
So it just feels unnatural for me to squint too much.
Yeah.
So I felt like maybe I should do something.
Oh, okay.
So one is take my glasses off with no contacts, right?
Yeah.
So go on the train blurry and then get to Kake-chan's house and put the glasses on and get my vision back.
Or number two, put my contacts on and bust out the glass, right?
Yeah, of course.
And just use just the frame.
Yeah.
That's a good idea actually.
Right?
Yeah.
That's option two.
Yeah, that's kind of like the two options I'm looking at right now.
Yeah, so that your eyes would be seen as it should be.
Yes.
The same size, same...
Absolutely.
Without any effects.
Right, right.
So yeah.
I take the second one.
You think that it would look unnatural if I bust out the glass and put like a frame only glasses on the video?
Do you think it'll look like weird or do you think it's just too unnoticeable?
It wouldn't really make that much of a difference, you think?
When we were college students, there was one kohai who wears frame only glasses.
Do you remember?
I don't remember.
Same...
Oh, kohai you said.
One kohai.
Ichitotsu kohai.
I don't know.
Okay.
And he looked...
How should I describe that?
He looked a little charai.
Oh.
Like...
Did he have a charai frame?
No, not that charai frame.
It's his usual brown frame, but you know, it's completely like, you know, oshare item.
So it looked a little like, you know, trying to do some oshare things.
Ah, okay.
Which, you know, is not that super cool.
I see.
You know, a little like...
Yeah, charai, I mean, a little bit.
Okay.
But not noticeable, actually.
Not noticeable?
Yeah, I mean...
At least not through the screens, maybe?
Um, yeah.
I'm not sure, but...
Let's just try that.
I can punch.
We can't just try it, man.
There's no going back.
Why?
We can just try it.
Try one thing.
You can't put it back.
So that we can see that.
You can't put the frame back.
The glass back.
The glass that I can smash into your...
15:00
You can't do that.
You're probably going to bend the frame too if you do that.
Ah, man.
Oh, yeah.
So that's the answer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess many of the listeners are curious about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, we did get like three comments.
I think it looked different.
Sorry.
Yeah, people are curious.
And we talked a lot.
What?
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thanks for listening, guys.
