A completely different stage in life.

Yeah.
We're close to that age.

We're close to that age.
So we can think about.
Right.
Let's simply think about what we can enjoy as a 29, 27, 28.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As in surprise present or gift or experiences things.
03:04
Hmm.
I would enjoy.
Yeah.
I would enjoy.
I would enjoy.
Never mind.
Okay.
See, I sometimes do it.
Oh.
Like I sometimes start talking.
Yeah.
And I have no idea what I'm going to say.
I do that sometimes.
I do that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I think I talked about this in the last episode of like the way I talk is like kind of Japanesey
but I feel like I'm Americanized if I talk in English.
Like a part of this Americanized way of talking is like I start talking.
Yeah.
Even though there's nothing for me to say.
I just.
Yeah.
Like what I think there's a lot of.
I just start off with that and I just think of what to say on the spot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do that sometimes.
Funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
As a president.
Okay.
I'd love to be invited to football games.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Like good games, you know.
Good games.
Yeah.
Like what?
Like.
Games as in like.
North London Derby.
Okay.
Got that guys?
Got that?
Not that one.
That's bad.
That's bad.
Or like Manchester Derby.
Don't buy that guys.
That's bad.
That's bad.
Right?
We all know that's bad.
So obvious, right?
El Clasico.
Uh huh.
Yeah.
Never buy that.
I mean, I would never go for that.
It's obvious.
Yeah.
Those, you know.
So like big matches.
Big matches that are good.
Or like the final of the Champions League.
Uh huh.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's good.
Or you know, simply it's just simple one.
Like local game would be, you know, fun to me.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's a really like personalized.
Yeah.
Present.
And I think that's really good.
Yeah.
I think that's really helpful for her.
Yeah.
I mean.
A little personalized.
A soccer game, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, sure.
That's true.
Okay.
For me, I want.
I'm thinking about getting a Yogi bow.
Oh, Yogi bow.
Okay.
I got my, I bought my Dendo Shoko desk.
Yeah.
News right there.
I bought my Dendo Shoko desk.
Desk, yeah.
Um, and my room is now being used up by it.
Right?
Oh.
So I, I can't fit my sofa anymore.
Oh.
So I'm going to have to replace it with something else.
And I'm now thinking about getting the Yogi bow.
Okay.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Of course.
06:00
Cause you can, you know, carry that Yogi bow out if you want to replace those in.
Oh, that size.
Yeah.
Uh, so the sofa that I have right now, it's got a certain.
Yeah.
Like wide.
Two, two or three people.
Two can, yeah.
Two or three can sit.
Yeah.
So that's too wide.
So we want to shrink it down to like a, like a solo sofa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why a Yogi bow.
Yogi bow is good because you can move it to places like what you said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Another thing.
Hmm.
Um, effector.
Effector?
Yeah.
Electric guitar effectors.
Nice.
Yeah.
Guys.
Yeah.
Like the wows or like looping pedals.
Yeah.
Loop pedals.
Those things.
Yeah.
Or like amplifiers simply.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
Or fuzz.
Fuzz?
Yeah.
There you go guys.
Fuzz.
Yeah.
Fuzz.
Yeah.
Fuzz.
Fuzz.
Fuzz.
A typical 28 and a seven year old would like that.
Right?
Yeah.
A fuzz.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Um, or plants.
Plants?
Yeah.
Uh, big one.
Big one.
Yeah.
Like a, like a, like a, like a, uh, yeah.
Like a huge one.
Huge one.
Monstera.
The huge one.
Like the one that.
Like that big one.
Like a madman.
Like that big one.
Madagascar size.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Madagascar.
Madagascar size.
Plants.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
Yeah.
Um, I want like a lifetime supply of, of, um, Yakult.
Lifetime supply of Yakult.
Yakult is something that I love, but I never, I don't usually buy because it's just, it's,
it's just so small and like it's, it's not that satisfying.
It's actually expensive.
It's actually expensive.
So like you never absolutely need it.
You never need it.
You like it.
Yeah.
I think, see, I think I just figured out.
Yeah.
I think I just unlocked something.
Okay.
Last time.
Like a perfect, like a, like a, like a good casual.
Wait, what?
Good casual?
What the fuck?
Okay.
A good.
Yeah.
Like a, like a rule of thumb, like a good rule of thumb for a gift is something that
you don't need.
Yeah.
But you want, like it's something that you never buy for yourself, but you'd enjoy if
you have it.
Yeah.
Like, isn't that a good, like, like a good, um, equation to go by.
Yeah.
Great.
Good rule to follow don't you think?
No.
That's great.
That's, that's what we call as a present.
Look, I have backstory.
Okay.
Okay.
What's that?
The reason why I felt that is because several days ago, brought to you by Amazon music.
09:03
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, you don't do that.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
I forgot to put the combine.
Yeah.
Okay.
So the reason why I felt that is there was a, uh, an Anken for, uh, it was Anken for
me and Kake-chan.
Okay.
And, um, so, um, I don't think I should mention which, well, even though I feel like a lot
of people can already, but okay.
Okay.
Tell me the story.
Yeah.
Tell me the story is so we were given an Anken, like we were paid to go on to do a job.
Okay.
So the, the, the CEO of the company, they wanted to gift us.
Oh, great.
Like aside from the, um, the, the paid.
Yeah.
Aside from the, the, the money that's given to us for doing the job.
Right.
Separate from that, that person gave us like a, like a gift.
Oh.
And that person was like, okay, so I don't want to choose.
I don't want to disappoint you with like, and I don't want to give you anything that
you guys don't want.
So within this amount, it was like, um, it was, yeah, it was within this amount of money.
Just tell me what you guys would like to buy and I'll buy you that present and I'll give
it to you.
Really?
Yeah.
And then like, we were like, okay, oh, that's cool.
And like, that's, that's a lot lower from the money that we're receiving by doing the job.
Right.
But like the amount of satisfaction, like the, the, the amount of happiness we got was
so much bigger.
Yeah.
Receiving that gift, like I would have probably never bought that with my own money, but like
receiving it, it was happy.
Yeah.
So like, yeah, I feel like that's what the merit of gifting is what I thought.
So that's the backstory that I wanted to share with you.
Yeah.
It was, it was disappointing that you missed that Yamashan.
I mean, you could have been on it, but yeah.
You passed out, right?
Yeah.
Didn't you pass out because of scheduling?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was go out on camping on that day in the mountain size.
I mean, but yeah, that's what happened.
Sorry about that.
But it's okay.
But I mean, yeah, I mean you missed your own journey right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sadly.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So that's what we recommend.
That's what we recommend right there.
Nice.
I like how you wrapped it up right there.
Okay.
That's what we recommend.
Yes.
Yes.
That.
That.
Thank you for listening guys.
Yes.
Bye bye.
