Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys, how's it going?
So, this is from マミムメモモモさん.
Okay.
I love K.E.R.
Thank you.
I always listen to your podcasts while makingdinner.
The main topic is, when I watch YouTube,
isn't the King's Hawaiian that Kevin was talkingabout being advertised?
Okay.
On TV?
On YouTube?
On YouTube? Oh, yeah.
King's Hawaiian, it's like a bread.
It's like a chiquitipan.
Like a sweet chiquitipan.
Yeah.
But very simple.
It was advertised.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw it in Costco.
Oh, okay.
But that's the only time I've seen it.
Yeah, never seen it in like the local grocerystores.
No.
Well, maybe now it's finally came, maybe?
Maybe now it's available.
Yeah.
Because it was the ad on YouTube videos.
It's not like specified for Costco shouhins,right?
Right, right.
It needed to be like...
Like nationwide?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Must be.
But not yet, though.
I've never seen it, though.
Right? Never seen it, right?
I mean, no.
Probably not even looking for it.
Right.
I just maybe just passed through my eyes, maybe.
Yeah.
You know, I think ever since I became moreconscious about being healthy,
the bread section is the least place I go to now.
Before, I loved the bread section.
Oh, really?
But now it's like I hardly ever go.
There's really nothing healthy there.
So like, that's, I guess that's like the leastplace I'd go.
That's why you didn't see them.
Maybe I should check it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you're not going to buy them?
Hawaiian bread?
Yeah, King's Hawaiian.
Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Because of the nostalgia.
Maybe I'll try.
I see, I see, I see.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
But it was good, though.
Do you remember the taste?
Yeah, a bit sweet, a bit milky.
That's right.
Like nothing, in a good way, nothing special.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very plain.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Simplicity was the goodness of Hawaiian bread.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think it can compete against whatever thebreads in Japan.
In those like supermarkets and everything.
It's not something too American or like, you know.
03:02
I understand.
I understand.
Yeah, that's one of the good things about King'sHawaiian.
Yeah.
So anything do you miss recently?
About America?
Yeah, like foods, drinks.
Yeah, so my dad, right?
My dad, he comes back like, you know, from time totime.
Once or twice a year.
Okay.
And the last time he came back, he was like,
so, hey, what do you want me to get for you?
Like anything you want, just tell me anything.
I'll get you one, okay?
Nice.
Oh, thanks, dad.
And I thought about it for a week and I was like,
no, dad, I think I'm okay.
He's like, you sure?
You sure you don't need anything?
Yeah, let me, let me think again.
Nah, I think I'm good, dad.
But that was everything that, that was consideringall the things that I can bring back home,
like through all the airport shit.
But like, I guess if I were to go there, there's alot of things I wanted to eat.
I see.
Yeah, like Chick-fil-A.
Restaurants and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mexican food.
You know, Papa John's.
Uh-huh, I see.
Yeah, all that stuff.
But, you know, nothing, yeah, nothing packagedthat I miss.
Not anymore.
Not anymore, not anymore.
You don't, you don't eat like the Pop-Tarts orthings like that anymore as a breakfast?
So, yeah, so I don't, I don't, you know, I don't,but, you know,
I sometimes do crave a little bit.
Sometimes because of, you know, I used to eat it alot.
I see.
I remember the taste.
So I do get a little bit of craving, but not somuch, though.
Not so much.
Yeah, not so much to a point where I didn't evenask my dad for it.
Yeah, the, the, the health, health demeritsoutweigh it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you have one?
Do you have anything you miss from America, man?
Oh.
Because I can, I'll ask dad, you know, if he wantsanything, because, you know, when he comes back.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I think he's going to come back again this year.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So you mean the things he can bring?
Right.
To Japan.
Packaged food, John.
That'd be great.
No.
Oh, yeah, me too.
Okay.
All right.
So none of us wants anything.
Right.
Maybe he'll want Takis.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
He likes Takis.
Right.
06:00
He loves those things.
Yeah, he loves those.
Yeah.
But if it's not like packaged ones.
Yeah, I have some.
Like what?
Like the Mexican.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love that.
Yeah.
If you can bring Mexican to Japan, yeah.
So you enjoyed the like the Chipotle andeverything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
I do, I do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was good.
I mean, it was a little bit too big.
Okay, okay.
But if you, you know, you can control yourportion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you don't have to put so much in it, right?
Right, right, right.
It was good.
It was good.
I enjoyed that.
What else?
So I don't know if it's the real thing or it'sjust my memory.
But when I went to, when I was 12, I went to Utahand I had like a corn cob.
Corn cob?
Yeah.
With butter on.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was good.
Okay, okay, okay.
And I, but I'm not sure if that's different fromthe ones we can find in Japan.
It feels the same.
Yeah, it feels the same.
Maybe in Japan, the quality is better, maybe.
Even.
Even, right?
Yeah, yeah.
But you really liked it.
Yeah, it was very nice.
Very good.
Maybe the butter's different.
Maybe the corn's different.
How they cook it could be different.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
But so, yeah, I remember that.
Right.
Yeah.
But I'm not sure if that's the real thing or not.
It's just my memory.
Yeah.
Corn on cob, by the way, for the people who don'tknow, is maru, nani?
Maru, kajiri.
Maru kajiri tomorokoshi.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maru kajiri yudetomorokoshi.
That's corn on the cob.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
I do it in Japan, too, at my house.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
So you do the butter thing as well?
No, butter thing.
That's the butter thing?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
I do, without anything, or a little shoyu.
The shoyu?
Ah, Japanese style.
Yes.
Yeah, I remember they had a little, like a little,I don't know how should I call it,
like a little blade thing.
Blade?
Okay.
Yeah, that you stick into the corn on the bothsides.
Top and bottom?
Yeah, and then you can eat like this.
Oh, like you can twist it?
Yeah, without touching the corn itself.
Oh, okay, interesting.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's like a fork?
Yeah, like a one-needle fork.
One-needle fork?
And you do it, and it has like a little bar fromthe...
And they eat like this.
So it's made especially for corn on the cob, Iguess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was amazed, like, wow, they have this.
Because I think the butter is like everywhere onthe corn, so you don't want to touch.
Oh, I see.
Oh, so it's like they dip it in melted butter?
No, it was like you got a corn on the cob, and youput butter on top.
Like you do this.
Oh, got it.
You get like a brush, and you sort of brush likeone side of the corn.
09:02
Yeah, it was, you put just like a steak.
You know, sometimes you got a little block ofbutter on top of the steak.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just like that.
It's like that.
And then I can get my hand in.
And then it melts because of the heat of the corn?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sounds delicious.
Yeah, and I remember it was good.
Okay, sounds delicious.
Yeah.
But maybe, I don't know.
The kyokusei could be.
Because I feel like it's just the same.
It's just too normal.
Yeah.
Right, right.
Something you can buy in Japan as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, right.
I, the other day, I ate the chocolate Sasha.
What was that?
Remember Sasha?
It's like, you know what it is?
Like this.
That's right.
It's like, yeah, it's like these little wavy shit.
Yeah, is it?
It's not wavy, but.
Isn't that like a little old one?
Yeah, it's really old.
Is it still today?
They still sell it today.
That used to be one of my favorite, like, awesomechocolates in Japan.
The other day, I had a chance to eat it.
Okay.
And I was like, my God.
My God, I've grown.
The kyokusei was there, man.
Yeah.
That was a little bit shocking.
It's a little shocking.
Yeah.
That's sad.
I remember it being more milky and more, thechocolate was more like, yeah, better.
But like when I ate it, it was like one of thosecheaper chocolate tasting ones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shit.
It hurt inside.
It hurt.
That's sad.
Yeah, it is.
That is sad.
Yeah.
Man.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
