Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Hey guys!
Alright, let me just...
Still not, you know, got used to this.
The settings?
Yeah.
I like the metal, and it's making the M shape, and it looks kind of professional, you know, from the screen here.
Yeah.
Let's try to wear these headphones.
Yeah, if we do that, it's more authentic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Real.
Alright.
So, how was your week?
Um...
My week?
I went camping.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I went camping with Fou-chan.
He was good, he was all good.
What do you mean he was all good?
You know how he's health.
Oh, okay, that way.
He was all healthy, you know.
Great, great to hear that then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Super.
Really healthy and...
We went camping.
We went to Wei-chan's campsite.
Oh, that site!
Okay, great.
So, you met that guy too?
Yeah, I met Wei-chan, his wife.
Okay, great.
Super.
How were they?
Yeah, they were good.
Was that your second time meeting them?
Yeah.
Meeting her?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was very, you know, very healthy.
Yeah, right.
Like, wild guy.
Yeah, you know, actually Wei-chan wasn't that wild anymore.
I feel like, you know.
Well, I mean, the last time I went there and visited them,
he, you know,
said that he's kind of,
you know,
kind of in a difficult situation
of, you know, all the business things.
Family.
Yeah, family and relations and everything.
So, yeah,
that's what I kind of
am worrying about.
That he's
in a position where it's like,
it's not, you know, it's a little bit
kind of caged and kind of,
yeah.
And he is in a position where he has to,
you know, care everything.
Like employees and
neighborhood.
He's like in a committee or something, right?
Like the town committee and stuff like that.
Yes.
Right. Yeah. It's political now too.
Yeah.
Must be a huge change
for him within the year or two.
Yeah.
From a freedom guy to a...
See, he was really freedom
at any point.
Two years ago, but...
Yeah.
He's settled.
He's got a house.
He's got employees.
He's working with the city.
Yeah.
But he looked healthy?
03:00
Yeah, he looked healthy.
But very... I thought he was
a little bit...
He's skinnier, but...
Oh.
I told him that, but he was like, "Oh, no, it's probably because of the haircut."
Really?
Yeah. Okay.
He was all good.
Great to hear that.
Yes. Super.
We went to a grocery store
before we arrived at the campsite.
We bought meat.
We tried to make garlic shrimps.
Oh, great.
We bought ingredients for garlic shrimps.
Mushrooms.
Yeah.
Morning breakfast.
Oh, great.
Yeah, that's what I got.
Super.
We did barbecue. We arrived at like 1 p.m.
or something.
Barbecued. And then at night, we camped
fired. Did s'mores.
Yeah.
Next day, we woke up at like 11.
11.
It's quite late. I was in camping.
Yeah, very late.
We
ate breakfast.
Yeah.
Got coffee.
Morning hot coffee at a campsite
is amazing.
Yeah. I agree with that.
But 11 is
lunchtime.
Yeah. Early lunch.
And then we went home.
Okay, great.
I remember you telling me that
if you really want to enjoy camping, you have a good friend.
You're a camping friend.
You have to stay there two nights.
And they have to enjoy a full day.
Morning to night.
You have to have that full day if you really want to
relax and enjoy that nature.
I get what that means. I understood that.
If we would have
had the time to like
24 hours, that would have
really had us really relaxed
and really enjoy every time I thought.
Yeah.
But you didn't have the limit, right?
Kind of strict limit. Because that's the place
where Wei-Chan is
organizing.
He was kind. He was like, "You guys can leave whenever you want."
Yeah. That's great.
Because most of the camping sites have a
strict limit.
Like a checkout time.
Usually it's like 11 or even like
10.30. It's quite early.
So that's why
you have to spend one day more.
Okay.
So, yeah.
I did camping.
Great.
I have the smell of the
sneeze stuck in my
hair.
I really understand that.
Two or three days.
Two or three days ago and it's still here.
So strong.
But you don't smell at all. So don't worry about that.
Thank you. If I get it wet,
it's probably smellable.
Yeah.
That's what I felt too
06:00
when I did camping.
That's what I'm worrying about.
I went to my friend and said that to my friends.
And he said that
it's only you
who feels that smell actually.
Really?
It's what he said to me.
Because you smell nothing, right?
Right now I don't smell anything.
I mean, just after
I returned from the camping.
Oh, yeah. I didn't smell anything.
Right? So it's kind of weird to me.
Because I was smelling all the...
Really? So at that time
you were kind of worried that you might be all...
Yeah.
Smoky and shit.
Yeah.
I did not have any smell.
Yeah. So this is weird.
But you're feeling that you're smelling...
Yeah. I'm kind of worried that I...
Right now I feel like it's gone off.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm thinking about...
What do you think about wearing hats
and caps during...
Camping.
Camping. So that it doesn't get on your hair.
You think that's effective?
Maybe.
Is that something that you'd consider doing?
Yeah.
If that's better, yeah.
Because maybe, you know,
the smell and the smoke
doesn't stick to your hair.
So that's maybe better.
Maybe.
But yeah.
Remember when
we were coming from the university.
As in preparation
for the graduation
concert that we did, as in circle.
We went to the...
Some...
property and did the
camping, right? Together, right?
Gashiku. Yes, I remember.
And just the...
last part, we did
some barbecuing.
Yeah, I remember.
That was hard. As in smell-wise.
Oh, okay.
That still...
smells, actually.
Right now, to this day, you still smell that?
Yeah. That's strong.
The closest eye wall
at that moment still smells.
All smoky?
Yeah. What?
How long has it been? Like, two or three years?
It's more than that, I guess.
It's like four... yeah, four even...
Yeah, four years, five years.
And it's still...
Still.
It's wicked. Yeah.
But I guess the reason why was
we spent time in a...
in, you know, kind of dome.
True.
Oh, out of storage.
Oh, okay.
Yeah?
Sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
The iPhone memory
ran out.
09:00
Yep.
And the video got cut off.
Yeah.
But, yeah, what we're talking about,
we were in a dome.
We did the barbecue inside the tent.
Inside the tent, yeah.
The smoke, you know,
it kept sticking, yeah,
inside.
Yeah. Really.
Because usually it's completely outside.
There's nothing keeping the smoke,
you know, it's all
going, you know, in the air, right?
But in a tent where it's like
completely, like, kind of closed.
Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine that.
It was snowing day, so we were all inside
and did everything inside.
So it was just we...
literally, we were smoked.
Yeah, we were... right, right.
So... I remember.
We had a piece of meat, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, you know, it's always fun to camp,
right?
Even with that, always fun to camp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's great.
Oh, I love to hear that.
It's kind of late summer
even memory.
Right, right, right, right, right.
I can't think of a friend.
Was it around December...
October?
Was it?
What do you mean?
The hour...
the tento no naka no
barbecue, was it?
Oh, no, no. That was in the springtime.
Oh, okay.
It was like before the sotsugyou concert.
I see.
Yeah, February.
Oh, got it.
Well, yeah, that's what I did.
Oh, great. Say hi to Fuku-chan.
All right, I will.
I see you always...
He will be welcomed to the football
practicing. Oh, okay, got it.
As a new member. All right, I'll tell him.
Let him know.
Right? Right.
Okay. Yeah.
All righty.
Thanks for listening, guys. Thank you.
Bye-bye.
