Okay.
This is from SourPatchKid.
Okay.
Hello, Kevin and Yama-chan.
Hello.
This is my first time sending a message.
I've been enjoying your podcast for two years now.
I have a question for you guys.
Okay.
Last week, I visited the U.S. to see my new boyfriend who lives in Georgia.
Oh.
He's American.
And we've been seeing each other since we met in Japan last summer.
Okay.
But he moved back to Georgia last winter.
Okay.
This time, we took a road trip from Atlanta to Miami.
Okay.
Cool.
Yeah.
Is it really far?
That's like...
I don't know.
It's like a six-hour, seven-hour car ride maybe.
Not like a big journey?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not like across the states.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Just one state.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Atlanta to Miami.
Yeah.
I planned where to go, what to eat, and what to buy using your YouTube videos as a reference.
Yeah.
Thank you.
We visited the Coca-Cola factory.
Yeah.
A gun range.
Gun range.
Yeah.
I was like, where to...
A shooting range.
Yeah.
Chick-fil-A.
Yes.
So, there were five guys and Papa John's.
Yes.
At one point, we tried to get Chick-fil-A for lunch, but couldn't find one.
Oh, okay.
So, we ended up at Arby's instead.
Yeah, sure.
Arby's?
Arby's, yeah.
I actually liked it a lot, but my boyfriend told me it's the worst fast food among Americans.
Okay.
Arby's.
Yeah.
He explained the reason somehow, but I didn't get it exactly.
Yeah.
So, here's my question for you.
Is Arby's really the worst fast food in the United States?
I don't understand why he thinks that.
By the way, I had a bad food poisoning when I tried Chipotle.
Oh.
It was the worst experience for me on the trip.
Ooh.
Sorry to hear that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry, it was a 10-hour ride.
Not six.
10-hour ride.
Yeah, it was a 10-hour car ride.
Okay.
Yeah.
I would say then, different kind of drive.
Decent drive, yeah.
Yeah.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Sounds fun.
Arby's?
Arby's, yeah.
I mean, I do have a reputation that Arby's is not, like, the best.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I mean, have you had Arby's?
No.
Arby's is like a...
A burger shop?
Yeah, it's a burger shop.
It's like a...
I don't...
Maybe it's a sandwich shop?
Yeah, I think this is...
They're famous for their...
Wow.
Yeah, they're famous for their, what is it?
Thin...
Roast beef?
Roast beef burger.
This roast beef is thin, right?
And it's very...
Very, what is it?
Soft.
Okay.
Yeah, it's like really...
It's thin and sticking together and it looks really big.
Yeah.
I don't...
It's not my favorite.
Okay.
I don't know if it's...
It's good.
Yeah.
It's good.
I don't know if it's...
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
It's good.
Yeah.
I don't know if this is anybody's favorite.
Okay.
But they're not bad, though.
They're not bad, bad.
I would say.
Well, I mean, it looks good.
Arby'sとミニストップの比較
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure, sure, sure.
I don't know.
The RB's...
I don't know.
The image of...
It's like...
It's like...
It's like mini-stop.
You know?
In Japan.
Out of all the convenience stores, why would you go to mini-stop?
You know, I mean, okay
Well, somehow I get it. You go to mini stop. Yeah, it's dark
Okay, okay, why is there an empties area here
Yeah
You get yes, you have had a huddle just like the store has like the
And this is I've had it. It's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad
Hungry I would I would go for it
But like
You have Chick-fil-a
Yeah, you've got Burger King. Yeah
Subway
Yeah
You know
If you're in California, we have a in and out. Yeah guys
All these good place. Why would you go to our Arby's? Okay, so it's look that good. I
Mean
Just like that's like asking well is mini-stop bad do they have bad food? Yeah. Well, no, it's not
They're okay, they're okay, right
Why would you why would you go to mini-stop if you have 7-eleven right next to it?
It's like the same question. You're asking. It's like
Arby's if you have Chick-fil-a, okay
Yeah, I'd love to try that but yeah, you should they're yeah, they're great
Okay
Yeah, I mean, yeah sure do we have Arby's in Japan I don't think there's Arby's in Japan I've never seen it
I don't think yeah, even you go to the United States. You try. Okay. Yeah
But you know like they are like, you know in in Konbini, for example, like in 7-elevens, you've got pastrami beef sandal
Yeah, it's like the roast beef
Oh, yeah, nothing like it nothing like that. Yeah, it's much more like I said softer. Okay, it's like you're
layering tissues
It's like soft and light soft. Yeah, it's like very Oh
It's like it's biteable. Okay, very biteable
If you enjoy
Like the hardness of the roast beef, you know how some roast beefs are very like chunky very hard to like
Bite into yeah, you're not gonna get any of those in Arby's. Okay, they're fully
Processed. Oh
To me it feels like fully processed meat. It's it's like yeah
It's like synthetic
Soft meat. I mean
The you know, they are like really expensive meat and really soft just like we you know, we go to the yakinik together in it
Yeah
Well a softness and like
Yeah, I mean
you know, yeah in a way it's you know, I like it but like
it's
Well, I mean, you know, it's it's artificial because it's a fast-food chain restaurant. Okay, right?
No, they're not giving you these high-quality beefs
So the only possibility that's left is that they're using all these highly processed synthetic meat Wow
But the taste is not bad. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay, so they really profess
That's what I that's what you it's what I feel. That's it. I don't know about the truth though, but
Okay, okay. Yeah
Yeah, I see but I would love to try once it's worth it to try yeah, I've never is that
Do they have like many stores in the yeah, it's everywhere everywhere. Yeah, it's everywhere
Sadly sadly
Yeah, yeah Narvees, yeah, okay that means it's popular sure
You know, it's like mini-stop
Okay, that's like you're okay the same assumption goes to mini-stop I think you can't fully agree on it, right
Yeah, the mini-stop must be very successful because I see it all over. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, but
The same feeling I have right now. Okay, same feeling, you know
ファーストフード店の印象
Yeah, yeah, I
Have a reputation of McDonald's being more worse than Arby's though. Oh, McDonald's is as it's as low as you can get, you know
Oh, really? Yeah, that's the worst McDonald's very yeah place of trouble, you know
Yeah
the food the food
atmosphere
Sketchy
Nobody wants to work there. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah
Because in Japan, it's like one of the choices for
High school. That's right. That's right. It's one of the popular choices, but like it I guess in America. It's like
It's like a it's like a way of dissing people. Oh, why don't you go get a job at McDonald's? Oh
Wow
Wow, that's really that's a type of that's a that's a classic this getting a job at McDonald's. Oh
Yeah, okay, yeah, then I guess the placement of those fast-food chains
Would be different in Japan. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. I love Japan McDonald's. Oh, they're great
Like the people there are just very nice. Yeah, very nice. They're giving you a smile
They give you smile. Yeah. Yeah, have you asked for a smile?
Thank God
Yeah, even me yeah, yeah
That's I would I I would hate to be the employee
When that customer asked for a smile, that's so awkward. I imagine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay
So Arby's
Yeah, but I want to try that Arby's yeah, yeah beans you should should give it a try. Yeah
Let's try that us. Yeah together. Yeah, I'll pass
I'll go to Chick-fil-a. Oh
Taco Bell, I think Taco Bell has a different reputation than in Japan. What's your impression of Taco Bell's in Japan?
I mean, we don't we don't we don't found it. We don't find it
No, like first of all, it's rare. Yeah, it's right. Okay, you don't find it anywhere I say, okay
Well still
cool
Mm-hmm. It's like in between like fast-food chains and rest usual like general restaurant. It's like in between
Like restaurant and fast-food chain. That's your impression. It's a little bit expensive. Okay
It's purple, yeah the logos purple, yeah
Difficult to order
Kind of hard to understand the menu how to understand. Yeah, what is going on? Mm-hmm. I say
Yeah
Those yeah, so in the United States, it's really similar to McDonald's where it's just Taco Bell
it's just to me my impression of Taco Bell's is like
it's like
People go there to puke
I
Don't I do not want to go there and
Spend a meal time in the stores, really? Yeah, it's just I don't know
It's just I don't it's just not I don't feel safe in Taco Bell. Yeah, I don't what do you mean?
You don't feel safe. I don't know. I feel like people would
punch me
Wow
Well, I mean I have impression of Taco Bell it's like better than the fast-food chains like really yeah, it's more like
kind of kind of like
Yeah, like a little restaurant size. It's more like diner side. No, it's purple. You're rather cool
No, you'd have all the cheapness of the fast-food chain all summed up in one store
In Taco Bell's Wow. Yeah, that's my impression though. That's why it's my personal
Personal. Yes, of course very biased impression. Of course. I'm sure there's stores that are different. Of course, they train hard
Yeah, but yeah, but like if you know Rome, Georgia, I think people would get it but like that Taco Bell's in Rome, Georgia
Yeah, just I don't know. It's always dark
It's just always not sunny
Even
If the rather is sunny the Taco Bell's it's just not I don't know it's just always there's a shadow
There's like a cloud
resting above the store
It's like it's like it's like an island there. It's like you don't there's no way to act
I don't know how to access that store
Isolated isolated from the town. Yeah, it's like yeah, it's in like it's like it's like in the middle of the street
Yeah, so it's not like isolated from the town
In the middle, but like it's you don't know where the entrance is
So that's just that's just me
Yeah, I'd love to visit that that place once together. Oh, no, I'll pass I'll go to Walmart
Yeah
That's a different thing. That's different. Yeah
You know when Taco Bell come to Japan I came to Japan like years ago. Oh, yeah, they made a huge line. Yeah
I remember that
Yeah, gorgeous place, you know, we were at the line. Yeah two hours for little one
Taco yeah, I know I know
So it's different right and different image there
So, yeah, you go there to puke. Yes
My personal body. Yeah my personal. Yes, very heavily biased. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, and it it's
Taco Bell us you're talking about. Oh, yes. That's not Taco Bell Japan. Yes, that's right. I guess it's a
Yeah. Yeah
Yes
Right. Thank you. See the guys
