クリスマスの準備
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello, guys.
Hello.
So, so.
Alright.
How was your Christmas, by the way?
Christmas preparing.
Christmas prepare...
I've been kind of busy a little bit.
I was thinking about, you know, baking up a fucking turkey.
Yeah.
But, you know...
Yeah, but, you know, I have not been able to buy one.
Okay.
I was a little bit busy.
I don't know if I'll make it.
Of the day?
Yeah.
You know, if I buy a turkey now, I don't know if the delivery is gonna, you know, be on time.
It might take a week or two.
How much time do we have till Christmas?
Ten days.
See, now, I have to buy it now, you know, like now, now for me to, you know.
Yeah.
You have to defrost as well.
True.
So, it can't just come on the day.
True.
You know, it's gotta come like two or three days prior.
So...
It's not sold?
No, you don't hardly ever see a turkey, you know, anywhere.
Or like Costco?
Costco?
Sure, maybe Costco.
Sure, maybe Costco.
But my membership expired.
Oh.
Yeah.
Gotta ask Hakishan for that.
I see.
Yeah.
So, you're kind of behind from the original plan.
I am behind on my Christmas cooking schedule.
You're right.
Okay.
But, I mean, you still have ten days until the Christmas site.
So...
Sure, sure.
I think...
Maybe I can squeeze in a little something.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe like a gingerbread cookie.
Maybe that.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you ever had a gingerbread cookie before?
Yeah.
They're delicious, man.
Oh, kikaku.
I remember doing it for kikaku.
Yeah, true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You definitely don't remember.
Yeah.
Yeah, the...
Like the guy.
Yeah, the gingerbread man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right, that's right.
Oh, I remember.
Yeah, that's right.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, so that.
Let's see.
Anything in your mind for Christmas?
So, I had a tree in my house.
Yeah.
Just a usual tree.
植物の扱い
I love plants.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So, we have a tree, and we put some of the ornaments on the tree.
Oh, okay.
Oh, that's great.
To make it look like a Christmas tree.
But it's not a Christmas tree.
No, no, no.
It's just a usual kanyo shokubutsu.
The one you had, like, for a long time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is it working?
Is it working?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It looks...
Looks great.
Fancy.
It looks like Christmas is coming.
Okay.
But it's not, you know, that Christmas tree like this.
It's not triangular.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like the...
It's a totally different shape.
Still, still, you got the vibes.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Were your plants okay when you, like, when you got married and moved in together?
Like, was there no conflict?
I'm like, hey, maybe cut down on the, you know, maybe cut down on the plant a little bit.
No, you guys are okay?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's great.
That's great.
Yeah.
植物のある生活
She loves plants, too.
Oh, that's great.
That's great.
And, yeah, she knows that I've been living in a jungle.
In a forest.
Okay, so she was ready for the forest adventure.
Right, right, right.
For the Madagascar.
Yes, yes.
I've never been to your place after you've been, like, Madagascar-ed.
How much of a jungle is it right now?
Like, is it...
It's like a...
It's not...
Yeah.
I would say it's like a garden.
It's like a garden?
What do you mean it's like a garden?
No, it's not like Madagascar anymore.
Oh, okay.
It's...
So it's not tall.
Yeah, it's like a garden.
Garden amount of plants.
What the fuck does that mean?
Wait, wait, so how many do you have, like, quantity?
How many...
You're talking about the pots?
How many pots do I have?
Okay, let's do pots.
Yeah.
How many pots do you have?
Okay.
Let me count.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your children.
Yeah, my brothers.
Right, your brothers.
Three, four, five, seven.
I guess ten.
Ten?
Okay.
Yeah, regular pots, ten.
Not bad, huh?
Not bad.
Not bad.
How big are the pots?
The biggest one is like this.
That's fucking huge.
Like this, the biggest one.
Damn.
But the smallest one is like this, I guess.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, like that.
Okay.
Okay.
So it's not...
They're not all the biggest one, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some are smaller.
Yes, yes.
And then it's like, okay.
Yeah.
So it's not totally a different world, kind of.
You can still see the walls.
Okay, okay, okay.
Like...
I see, I see.
I see.
One question, is it...
So, you have your own room, right?
Did you all decide on having the plants all in your room?
Or did you all decide on having the plants in the living room as well?
Well, I...
We decided...
We decided, yes.
To put some of the plants into the living room.
Oh, okay.
So it's like, okay.
So it's like, it's great.
It's great.
Yeah.
It's like a, you know, together enjoyment thing.
It's great.
It's great.
To, you know, having greens in our lives.
Right, right.
It's fun.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
It's good.
How many pots do you have in the living room?
In the living room?
Yeah, yeah.
Um, three, four...
I see.
Yeah.
But okay, I understand.
It's not crazy amount of...
I'm not making a jungle.
You're not trying to make a jungle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
I understand.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand.
I'm making a comfortable room.
That's right.
You're just...

I understand how relaxing greens can be.
Yes, yes, yes.
I understand.

Yeah.
That's what I'm doing.
Okay.
Are you going to expand on your territory?
Yes.
Well, that was quick.
Right now, we're in the winter season, so they're kind of sleeping.
They're not growing that much.
They're sleeping.
Okay, I see.
The summertime.
Yeah.
The spring, summertime, they're going to grow and like...
Become adults.
It's a chance.
The chance?
What do you mean it's a chance?
For us to like...
To do what?
To invade.
To invade.
Oh, my God.
The whole...
Oh, my God.
...house.
Oh, God.
It's a chance.
So we're waiting.
To become a Madagascar.
植物のお世話と贈り物
Yes, yes.
Okay.
Wow.
You know, I tried the green things, man.
I tried the plant things.
Yeah.
Yeah, you said it before.
The...
I bought a little...
The small one, yeah.
Yeah.
It didn't work out.
It didn't work out?
It didn't work out.
Yeah, it didn't work out.
That's sad.
How...
How it ended up?
I mean...
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Like, was he or she...
I don't...
Oh, it's non-binary.
I'm sorry.
Was that like...
Yeah.
Like, it became like brown and dried.
Oh, like...
How...
Oh, how it ended?
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, let's not talk about how it ended.
Okay.
I see.
Okay.
Yeah.
Let's just say that I had a great time with them.
Okay.
Oh, with them.
I'm sorry.
With them.
Yeah, okay.
And...
Right.
It was...
We had to go our separate ways.
I see.
I see.
So, you said goodbye to them.
Yeah.
Them.
Yeah.
That's right.
Okay.
Okay.
Good to know that.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, we're open for adopting new babies.
Oh, really?
Okay.
If you...
In the future.
Oh, okay.
Gotcha.
If you have...
If I can take care of it.
Yes.
How about that as a gift?
Do you like receiving plants as a gift?
Yeah, it's a good gift.
Really?
Yeah.
It is a little bit challenging though, you know?
Sure.
You know how, you know, things that go away like food, it's so much easier to give.
Yeah.
Because like if they don't like it, they can use it and it's done.
It's like about a week, you're done.
Right, right, right.
But the plant, like you're gonna have to take care of it.
Yes.
It's like giving something alive.
Yeah.
It's like so much...
It's heavy, you know?
Yeah.
But you're okay to that?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
You expect...
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
You don't discriminate?
Yeah, I don't discriminate.
Okay.
Well, that's good.
You're a good father.
Yeah.
Good father.
But if it's too big, you know...
It's physically...
Yeah, it's like a...
It doesn't physically fit.
Right, right, right.
Sure, that happens.
Yeah.
That happens.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Thanks for sitting, guys.
Thanks.
Bye-bye.
