Hey, guys.
Hello.
So, I'm going to read a message.
All right.
This one.
Nakaya-san.
Nice to meet you, Kevin-san and Yama-san.
Nice to meet you, too.
On my way home from work, I listened to yourYouTube videos and podcast in English.
It's still difficult for me to speak English, butI'm learning by listening to this podcast.
Thank you for your continuous stream.
Thank you.
I have a question for you two.
I've been into American stand-up comedy lately.
Do you have a favorite comedian?
Kevin-san mentioned that he went to see Jimmy O.Young's performance in Japan.
I like Jimmy-san, too, and I watch his YouTube andsubscribe videos with subtitles.
By the way, I've been into Atsuko Okazuka-sanlately.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I think...
She's the Japanese stand-up comedian.
Oh, yeah.
I'm trying to learn more about America to watchcomedy.
If you have any recommendations, please let meknow.
It's been a long time, but please take care ofyour health.
Nice.
Stand-up comedy.
I'm not that familiar with those scenes in theUnited States.
But, yes, I know Jimmy O. Young and Atsuko-san, Ithink.
I think I've seen a clip of her doing the stand-up.
Right, right, right.
This might be a little bit too major, but KevinHart, very funny.
Oh, Kevin Hart.
Yeah.
Okay.
You think he's an actor, right?
Yeah, like a talent-san?
Oh, yeah, he's a comedian.
Oh, okay.
Right.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
What's this other guy that I liked?
Gabriel Iglesias.
Gabriel Iglesias.
Oh, I don't...
He's Mexican.
Okay.
Yeah, he does racial jokes, too.
Oh.
I don't...
I didn't know him.
Yeah, I found him on TikTok.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
You know the TikToker...
Oh, I'm sorry, stand-up comedian who sings instand-up comedies?
He uses a voice box or something to sort of...
Okay.
Voice box?
I don't know if it's called a voice box.
That instrument where Bruno Mars, 24 Karat, thefirst part to not...
TalkBox, yeah.
He uses TalkBox to have conversations with theaudience and then...
Oh, I know that guy.
03:00
Oh, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
He went viral.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know his name, but I...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Talk...
It's like a...
Where are you from?
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
TalkBox.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe it's not TalkBox.
Yeah, maybe Vocoda.
Vocoder?
Yeah, V-O-C-O, Vocoda, D-E-R maybe?
Vocoda.
Or vocal synthesizer.
Vocal synthesizer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Morgan Jay.
Morgan Jay.
Yeah.
Yeah, him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is the style.
Very unique, right?
Right.
Yeah.
Very catchy.
Funny.
Very funny.
Yeah.
Very funny.
Yeah.
Auto-tune, I think.
Auto-tune.
It's not the vocal synthesizer.
Oh, I see.
It's the heavy auto-tune.
Auto-tune.
Okay, okay, okay.
So that even the crowd can sing whatever he sings.
Makes it work.
Makes it sense.
So who's controlling the tone here?
I think you have...
You can pre-set the limit, the notes you can use.
And I think that's how they does that.
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Very interesting.
Very funny.
I just did a key, the song key.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah, these stand-up comedians are so funny.
Yeah, that's true.
That's funny.
So funny.
Not a stand-up comedian,
but one guy I found on TikTok was so much skill.
I guess it's similar to stand-up comedy,
but like a rapper who...
He does street raps.
He does a really good job of...
I mean, let me...
I need to show you this.
Yeah.
Have you seen the guy that...
Wearing like very majestic jacket,
like hats on,
and talk to like strangers on the street?
I don't know what that is.
He...
It's...
Yeah, it's different from stand-ups,
but he said like...
He compliments.
Like very good, like a...
You know, like on the street,
like maybe the ladies love walking,
06:01
and he said like a very good thing.
Very, very good thing.
So he just randomly compliments strangers.
Yes, but in a very funny way, I'd say.
Very majestic way.
Majestic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know his name, but he's nice.
I've seen a video where somebody goes up and...
Hey, sorry, you're not allowed to do that.
Look this stylish in here.
Yeah, yeah.
Not like that, not like that.
Yeah, but more like...
Majestic way.
I see.
Like a...
I would say like a musical way,
like a theater, like a...
Romeo and Juliet vibe with it, like a...
I don't know that.
Yeah, yeah.
But that was viral.
I don't know if it's like a viral thing.
Yeah, but it's funny.
Okay, I'll be on the lookout for that.
I found the rapper that I was talking about.
His name is Harry Mack.

Okay, okay.
On the street.

Yeah.
Stand up or, like, you know, freestyle rapping
is something that I'll probably never be able todo.
It just feels like I don't know where to start.
It's just such a different skill.
I can't even, you know, they do it so fast.
They rhyme, and I don't know how they do it.
It's very fast.
Like, you think and you sing, you rap at the sametime.
That's nice.
That's quite a skill.
Great.
I love that.
