Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
So, it's a little bit awkward right now.
Yeah, actually, it is.
The reason is, in the recording studio, we have three other staff in the same room.
They're interviewing us for...
Yeah, kind of shooting what we do.
Yeah, right.
As Kevin's English Room... It's going to be on TV.
Yeah, actually, the crew from the TV program is quite big one, you know, famous one.
We can't tell you guys what the name of the show is.
They literally just told us five seconds ago not to say which program it is.
So, we can't tell you.
But, it's like an interview for... like a backstage interview kind of thing for TV.
And, it's getting really, really awkward right now.
Just three staff just staring at us, just standing there.
See, they don't know English, so...
We don't know that we're talking about this right now.
But, one guy just has a camera rolling, and the other two just sitting there just watching us.
But, I guess we just have to carry out.
Yeah, of course.
Do what we always do, you know.
See, we're not completely...
You know, we're not used to this kind of environment that...
Right.
Being surrounded by people and...
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's weird.
But, you know what?
I thought this might be a good practice for us.
Because, maybe, right?
Maybe we might do a... like a "koukai shūroku" thing, right?
Yeah.
I don't even know if this information could be out there right now.
But, like...
Someone told us.
Yeah, someone told us that...
For that.
Amazon, right?
Amazon told us that we could help you guys do some "koukai shūroku".
Yeah.
Like, "Let's go there. We can do that."
Yeah.
So, it'll be like in September or October.
I actually have no idea.
Did the staff told you?
Yeah, they told us the date, exactly.
Oh, oh, shit.
The date, actually.
It was like...
Oh, damn.
End of September, I guess.
We haven't done not one meeting on that yet.
So, I have no idea what's gonna happen here.
Yeah, but they told us.
Oh, no, shit. It's on my calendar.
Yeah.
So, maybe in September.
Yeah.
Right?
The information might be out there.
I mean, now the information is out.
Now the information is out.
I guess.
This episode is probably gonna be out on August, mid-August.
Okay.
So, if it's not out by then, well, here you go.
03:01
Yeah, this is the...
You guys heard.
We may or we may not do a live recording.
Right.
So, it'll be a good practice for us.
Sure.
Yeah.
Well, imagine this was like 20 or 30 people around there and...
Do you think we'd be nervous?
I do.
Are you nervous?
Okay, so we got three audience right now.
Yeah, audience right now.
How nervous are you from 1 to 10?
1 to 10?
Oh, actually, like nervousness.
One.
Okay.
Or two.
Okay.
But, see, kind of, the pressure of we have to make something, you know, make some funny
things is the biggest thing to me.
Like, not like relax and just usual conversation, but try to make them laugh and...
That's true.
That's what I kind of feel.
I feel like that's gonna happen more when we do the actual live recording in front of
20 or 30 people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right?
It's like live to me.
Oh, yeah?
I feel like I have to, you know, entertain them.
I feel like that's more like...
Because you're more of like a musician kind of a stand-in, right?
Yeah.
Like the stage and the audience and everything.
Yeah.
I kind of don't feel that because my vibe is like we're doing our thing and they're
just there trying to like capture what we usually do.
Yeah.
So it's not like a matter of like are we gonna entertain them or are we gonna make them laugh
or not?
It's like...
That's right.
We can just do our own thing and they're just gonna be there and that's my...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's how I'm feeling right now.
Okay.
Then you don't get any nervousness?
I do.
Actually, so from a scale of one to ten, what I would say is right now, like, I would say
three.
Okay.
That's fine then.
But it's definitely higher than a zero, right?
Like I'm always at a zero and now I'm at a three.
Yeah, that's quite high.
Yeah, that's a...
That's big.
30% decrease in my performance on the podcast there.
Yeah, of course.
Of course, man.
But it's not like eight.
Nine.
No.
No.
You know, when we were doing the concerts at the Acapela Circle, how nervous were you?
Like on a scale of one to ten.
Like I remember you being the guy who's like always nervous and had to wear a sunglass,
right?
Yeah.
Like...
The very beginning.
The very beginning, especially.
Later on, you didn't have to.
Yeah, but still you...
I do, I do.
I remember you as being really nervous.
I do.
How...
On a scale of one to ten, how nervous were you?
I was like ten.
Maximum?
Yeah, that was the maximum.
The first time I performed in front of all the people, ten, I couldn't see...
06:06
That nobody...
Just I wore sunglasses and closed my eyes.
And yeah.
Damn.
I was...
Yeah.
I don't think I've gotten up to ten before.
Really?
Like really?
I don't think so.
No, that was ten to me.
The most nervous I've ever gotten...
There are several I can have in mind.
One is...
Holding my girlfriend's hand for the first time.
Oh, that's it!
I was so fucking nervous.
What am I gonna do?
Yeah, that's true.
What?
Okay, I'm gonna do this really naturally.
Yeah.
Just gonna...
Just gonna...
Chris.
Yeah, that's obvious.
Me too.
Me too.
I remember it being more nervous than kissing.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Like kissing was actually kind of easier for me because we've already done the, you know,
the holding hands and being really close to each other.
And that would see the...
The lip contacting wasn't much of a...
Was a challenge.
Oh, really?
It was the hand contact.
Yeah.
It's the first contact ever.
The first contact, yeah.
Like really like getting like really like holding hands in that cell like that got me
really nervous.
Oh, really?
I remember, I remember, yeah.
And another one.
Yeah.
I think it was on.
Me too.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
Would you say that you would be nervous...
That event made you more nervous than you on stage.
That event was nine, so...
Which one?
Which event?
The event.
The holding hands?
The holding hands was nine.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
So the stage was even harder for you.
Yeah, kissing was 9.5.
Oh, God.
And another one I remember is the "saishu mensetsu" for my "shukatsu."
I was...
Really?
Remember I told you that I get really nervous during "mensetsu."
Yeah.
Like I suck at it, right?
Yeah.
I overthink it.
Yeah.
And then I just fucking...
I burn down, right?
So yeah, I got really nervous.
What makes you nervous like that?
Just the fact that in this limited amount of time, I have to maximize my value with
this simple answer.
A guy asks a question, and then I have to...
And I got what?
Like two or three sentences for me to answer, right?
And then in that two or three sentences, I have to...
Yeah, fully express yourself.
Fully express what I've got in me.
And that was really...
I wasn't really good at it.
Yeah.
Okay.
09:00
Like I...
Yeah.
It probably didn't make sense.
My sentences didn't make sense probably because I wanted to like jam so much inside.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay.
Yeah.
So what's the last one?
Last one?
Actually, I only had two in mind.
Okay.
Okay.
But...
Can you rate the nervousness?
Sure.
So now?
So now it's like three.
Three, yeah.
Right now it's going down like two right now.
Okay.
Okay.
Holding hands, that was probably like...
Let's see.
Okay, that's quite high.
That's quite high.
It's pretty high, you know.
It's pretty high.
Okay.
Eight.
And then...
So I would say like...
I'd say...
Seven and a half.
Just slightly less nervousness.
Wow.
Then holding hands?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
So think about that.
Right.
If you think about it, if you put it into perspective, this is actually nothing.
Yeah, nothing now.
Like...
Right, it's actually nothing.
True.
All right.
All right.
That's the...
Okay.
Oh, shit.
You stopped that?
Oh.
The video stopped.
So guys, if you're...
No, you stopped the video.
It's not a video.
I'm not going to naturally stop, but you stopped the video.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to stop.
I'm going to stop.
I'm going to stop.
I'm going to stop, but you stopped the video.
I'm sorry, guys.
The video version of this is going to be chopped off right in the middle of it, right?
I'm sure you guys heard the little "boop" noise.
Yeah, but podcast is...
Recording is on, so...
Right.
So thanks for listening, guys.
