Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
I like the way you just cut off and you just get in.
It was a double click.
All right.
So, let's go to国会議事堂。
I don't know where that is.
I'm assuming it's...
I'm assuming it's not this way.
Yeah, I guess that's...
The opposite way, right?
国会議事堂って...
国会議事堂...
国会議事堂?
スタートトレーニング?
Oh my god!
Come on!
本当に?
So, you can't turn here.
So, we want to go back here.
Yeah, because I guess...
It's like right here?
Yeah, right.
It was somewhere.
Yeah.
How about we just go...
Yeah.
Like around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's great.
All right.
Yeah.
これは...
曲がるのか?
曲がるのか?
曲がるよな?
Yeah, I guess that's left.
Oh, wow!
God, it's raining.
And it's really difficult to driving...
Especially when you haven't drove yet.
Right.
First place we are driving on.
Right, definitely.
Tokyo is very difficult to drive, you know.
That's difficult.
Where was the most...
Like the furthest place that you drove?
03:00
Aojishima.
That's definitely the furthest place.
From Tokyo?
From Tokyo to Aojishima.
What?
Really?
So, my grandfather is in Aojishima.
When my dad came to Japan, he's like...
Wow!
Son, we're going there by car.
Really?
Why did he think...
I have no idea.
But I know that he's regretting it.
He regretted it.
It's a bit far.
It's difficult.
He thought like...
It's an American measurement, I guess.
Right, right.
I guess so.
I guess so.
It's a driving distance or something.
Wow!
So, you drove with your dad?
Yeah.
That's when he screamed.
Remember?
He screamed when he was about to fall asleep on the highway.
You remember telling you about that?
Didn't I tell you about that or no?
I don't think so.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So, my dad has this strategy of like not falling asleep.
Okay.
So, whenever he falls asleep, what he does alone...
What he does alone is he just starts yelling.
That's what he does.
Like out of nowhere.
While he's driving?
He starts screaming while he's driving.
Then he wakes himself up.
Wow!
Yeah.
That's highly effective, I guess.
I mean, it must be for him.
Yeah.
And I was driving.
And he was next to me kind of falling asleep, right?
And he kind of...
He got into this illusion shit that like he was driving.
He thought he was driving and falling asleep.
And I was driving next to him just on the highway.
He starts yelling right next to me.
Oh, wow.
And I was like, oh, God, God, what?
God, what?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
No, are you okay, dad?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You okay?
That's freaking...
Yeah, and I did not know that he screamed while driving.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, I was like, what the fuck, man?
Wow.
Funny, dad.
Yeah.
It's a fun moment.
Yeah, very fun moment.
How long does that...
Did that take you to Awajishima?
You know, I think that was like eight hours or something.
So, you guys drove through the night?
Yeah.
In the daytime?
Through the night.
Wow.
I think if I remember correctly, yeah, I think it was through the night.
Yeah.
And actually, I've done several all-night driving.
Oh, really?
And I'm actually pretty good at it.
Oh, really?
I'm actually good at not falling asleep while driving.
06:01
Probably would have been dead if I wasn't.
Yeah, but...
Huh?
Is this the highway?
Right.
We should...
We should go this way.
Yeah, it looks like it.
Wow.
Oh, that's a difficult...
Oh, that was a close call.
That's tricky, right?
That's a very tricky one.
Yeah.
Very tricky.
Yeah.
Wow, look at that.
Is that a house?
Oh.
Oh, is that the guy's house?
That's a fancy-looking house.
Yeah.
That's a fancy-looking building right there.
I'm sure it's not his house.
Yeah.
That's inside there.
Oh, it's that way.
Yeah, it looks like a house.
Got it.
Like a soko or something.
Wow.
Fancy soko.
Yeah.
Wow.
I like this place.
I like this...
This road.
This road, yeah.
First time in my life going through this road.
It's like a pretty little fancy trailway.
Yeah.
It's not...
It's not like central Tokyo.
True.
Road.
All right.
So...
This road, right?
Kokkai-kijido Road.
Yeah.
Right?
Let's see what we can do.
Oh, that's embassy.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Which embassy?
I'm not sure.
Some country?
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, I remember.
Sorry.
I remember I came...
I guess around here...
Oh, really?

Sakura season.
Ooh.
I guess that's very famous for its sakura.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.

You don't drive a bike?
No.
Never driven one.
You're not...
Not planning to.
Planning to?
Yeah.
You're not into bike?
You prefer cars?
I mean, it looks dangerous.
That's it.
Yeah.
That's all.
Okay.
That's true.
Do you want to try the bike?
No.
I'm just afraid of it.
Yeah.
Because it just looks like...
It's just naked.
Right.
It's just...
Yeah.
Right?
You're not in any closed circuit.
Yeah.
Not circuit, but like, you know, closed area.
Yeah.
Which is...
Makes it a lot more dangerous, right?
Mm-hmm.
But I understand how it feels good.
Yeah.
When you drive...
Yeah.
A bike.
Yeah.
Wind, you know, come to your face.
True.
Oh, what's that building?
In the right hand.

Looks like a museum or something, right?
Yeah.
What's that?
Oh, that's Saiko Saibansho.

Wow.
Never mess with that.
Wow.
I'm assuming it's this...
Oh, you can't go up?
You can't turn?
Can you turn?

There's a guy just staring right at us.
Wow.
Okay.

Why don't we try that?
You want to...
