Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Good morning.
Good morning.
Cold.
Very cold morning.
Rainy day.
A little bit rainy.
Yes.
Sad.
Cold.
Coldest yet.
Yeah.
This winter.
Right.
Right.
Very cold.
I saw a snow yesterday.
Oh shit!
It was like a... not like the very... you know.
Heavy snow.
Yeah.
It was just rain... between like rain and snow.
Snow.
Tokyo?
Yeah.
Wow.
Very cold.
Very very cold.
Yeah.
I wonder if it's going to get any colder.
It is.
Oh shit.
I heard like this week, like Wednesday or Thursday will be the coldest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was it?
The strongest...
Yeah.
I heard that.
The strongest cold wave.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah.
So that's going to be...
Scared.
This week's going to be the coldest?
I think so.
I believe so.
During all winter time?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll be prepared for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How are you going to prepare for the coldest days?
Well...
I got...
I have some strategies.
Okay.
One is... let's say that I set an alarm, right?
I sleep at 12 and I set my alarm to 8 o'clock.
That means I get 8 hours of sleep, right?
So what I do, my strategy would be to set a timer for the aircon to 7 and a half hours.
Okay.
So that means 30 minutes before the...
Yeah.
30 minutes prior to waking up.
It's going to turn on.
Okay.
And when I wake up, when the alarm goes on, the room's a little bit warm.
It's easier for me to get out.
That's one strategy that I do.
That's great.
That's pretty nicely.
That's one.
Another strategy would be to wear the Uniqlo moho moho jacket.
Yeah.
Very good.
Okay.
I've been saying this ever since.
Very good.
In the bed?
In the bed.
Okay.
Okay.
As well as when I wake up.
Okay.
Always.
Yeah.
I wear it.
Very good.
Okay.
Very, very good.
Yeah.
I know.
I guess that's kind of it.
Okay.
I guess that's what I do to keep my...
To weather the coldness and everything.
Yeah.
How about you?
Is there any strategies for a cold day?
No, especially actually.
Cold winter?
You don't use the AirCon much, right?
No.
But I'm going to turn that on during those, the coldest days for sure.
Have you turned on your AirCon yet?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Like four times, I think.
Four or five.
Only four times?
03:00
Yeah.
Or like...
Yeah.
Four or five times.
Wow.
So what are you wearing when you're in your room?
I mean, sweaters, jackets, like some, you know, vest.
Everything?
Did you...
So you're wearing everything that you just said?
I don't wear a coat.
Okay, okay, okay.
Wait.
So first, your...
So I...
What's your...
I wear, you know...
Gokudan?
Yeah.
You know, the...
What was that?
Uniqlo...
Heat tech, yeah.
Yeah, I wear that.
And then like just a T-shirt or something.
Long sleeve.
Oh, so the T-shirt.
Oh, a long sleeve T-shirt.
Yeah, and then like a long sleeve turtleneck sweater.
Gokudan is short sleeves or long sleeves?
Long sleeves.
Long sleeves, okay.
Yeah, I'm a nerdy bodice.
Okay, okay, okay.
And then...
So I wear inner Uniqlo...
I don't like Gokudan actually because that's too hot.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
It's like a...
It's good when you don't move.
Oh.
It's hot.
But if you walk to the station and then take trains...
Oh, okay.
It makes you really too hot.
Then you start sweating and then get cold again.
I see.
That's bad.
Yeah, so I don't...
It's like too warm.
It's like when you're in your room.
It's good.
It's good.
If you don't move, if you just stay...
I see, I see, I see.
Right?
But if you just move or walk or just dance a bit, I dance in the room, so...
That's not good.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I prefer usual...
I see.
Hidoteku.
I see, I see.
So Hidoteku, long sleeves and long sleeves again.
And then like a sweater.
How...
Like a hoodie?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And then I wear like a kind of jacket, like a...
How do you describe those?
Like a...
Like that one.
Like a...
Muff, muff one.
Yeah, like a jacket.
Yeah, like a jacket.
Hot jacket one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a soft, casual jacket.
Yeah.
Right?
Cotton jacket.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
That's all.
Oh.
And then I put my muff on.
Really?
In my room.
In your room?
Yeah.
Oh, damn.
Why not air-con?
Why not?
That's a good question.
Yeah.
But, you know, that machine gets like a...
Really gets this old air dried up, you know?
And also, when I turn AC on, it's like a...
Makes me like...
You know, there are some types of hotness.
Okay.
Right?
If you turn on like, "denki stoobu," that's one hotness.
06:00
Okay.
When you move your body and you make yourself hot, that's a type of hotness.
Okay.
You know?
That machine has own like hotness.
Okay.
And I don't like it.
Actually, I kind of understand.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The same...
Yeah, same one, I think.
I don't know if this is the same as you.
Okay.
But what I feel from the air-con hotness is that when it's on, especially when it's directly...
When the wind directly hits you, like I can't breathe.
Yeah.
I understand that.
Like I have trouble relaxing.
Like I can't...
Yeah.
The air, it just...
The air that I breathe in, the AC'd air that I breathe in, it's just...
It's very unlikable.
Yeah.
Right.
Agree with that.
Okay.
Yeah.
And also like the floor side is really still cold.
That's true.
And it's just getting warm and warm.
Yeah.
So I don't like those, you know, balance.
I see.
I see.
So I prefer wearing or like just turn on the electric stove.
Okay.
That's my one.
Or like drink coffee.
Okay.
Those ways.
How much does drinking coffee help?
A bit.
It's a bit?
Quite a bit.
Oh, okay.
I see.
Yeah, but if you're holding, you know, like mug like this, that makes your hands hot.
Oh, I see.
I see.
I like that.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, speaking of muffler, the Uniqlo has like this new muffler.
It's like really compact and really nice.
It's like this...
You know how muffler, if you open everything up, it's like this big.
It's like really big, right?
Yeah.
It's actually just like this big.
Oh.
So like, how can I explain this?
The length itself is what?
40, 50?
50cm?
50cm.
And the...
Oh.
50cm x 15cm.
Oh.
That's it.
And it's down.
Oh, it's down?
Yeah.
How do you do with that?
So there's like a loop at one end.
There's a loop on one end.
And then you hook it.
I have it.
Okay.
You wrap it around your neck and then you put it in the loop.
Put the other end in the loop.
Oh, okay.
And then you strap it.
Oh.
So when you put it on, it looks like a normal muffler.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Wow.
It looks really nice.
Kind of interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the...
There's two sides, right?
Yeah.
So one side is the normal down kind of like shirishirishita kind of fabric.
09:02
And the other is more like cotton.
Wow.
So like the part that touches your neck is cotton.
It's really...
It's not...
You know how it's cold when you touch down?
Yeah.
It's a bit cold.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's not.
It's cotton on your neck side.
So it's good.
It's a good product.
Well, think about it five times and then you'll buy it.
Five times?
But still haven't bought it?
It's still on my second trial.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you have your mufflers?
No, I don't have.
No?
No.
I have one.
One?
I have one, but I haven't used it in two years.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thinking about throwing it away.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And buying a new one?
Maybe not.
Because, you know, I don't...
Yeah, just because I haven't used...
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
I've got to deal with all this coldness.
Coldness.
Right.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
