But what account?
I don't know.
Is that...
I don't know if you can see the subscriber account for the podcast.
Can you see that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know what that meant.
But it should be a podcast channel, I guess.
Yeah.
Because...
Okay.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
So, I remember this episode.
Do you?
Yeah.
You were like, well, it depends.
Yeah, okay.
That was your answer.
Well, it depends.
What do I...
Okay, give it to me.
2025 version.
I am your first date, and I'm going to ask you,
Hey, what's your favorite food?
How are we going to answer that question?
Like three?
Is it limited?
Three foods?
Where did you get three from?
Did she say three?
Did that person say three?
Yeah, go ahead.
Give me three food you like.
Three food I like?
Yeah, three food I like.
Are you Michael Jackson?
No, I'm not Michael Jackson.
You're Mickey Mouse.
I'm not Mickey Mouse, no.
I'm your first date.
Okay, okay.
Thank you.
Show some respect.
Okay.
So, three food that I like.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Sushi.
Sushi.
Yakiniku.
Yakiniku.
Pizza.
Pizza.
That's it.
Oh, that three.
I mean.
Sushi, yakiniku, pizza.
Well, yeah.
It's not the best three though.
Okay.
The three food that I like, I just picked randomly from the food that I like.
The whole pile.
You have a bunch of food that you like.
Yes.
Give me your most favorite food.
I think that's the actual question that we want to ask you here.
Now?
Now.
I mean, in current situation, right?
Your...
Yes, you.
Current situation, you.
Now, what I prefer to eat.
Like, not now, now.
Oh, not now, now?
I'm talking like...
So, this is a very difficult question to ask.
Like, to actually frame the question properly.
Your recent self.
My...
Yes, your recent self.
My recent self.
Yeah.
Your favorite food.
How recent?
That's the intention of how I frame the question.
Okay.
Recent.
Recent?
Yes.
Recent?
My recent favorite food, you mean?
Yeah, yeah.
That I had.
No.
Your recent food, favorite food.
Just give it to me.
What do you mean?
The food that I liked the most that I...
From the ones that I recently had?
No.
You're not getting the question.
Okay, tell me.
Tell me the question.
Look, the question is, what is your favorite food?
Yeah.
Exactly.
Just answer...
Just try to answer that question.
Well, yeah, I have many.
So, my favorite foods are...
Give me one.
Give me one.
Your top one.
What?
Number one.
So, now me...
In this situation, right?
Okay, sure.
Yeah?
Okay.
Fuzumaru ramen.
Yeah.
Is that the same...
Because I'm hungry.
Is that the same answer you would give if I were to ask, what do you want to eat now?
It's really close, yes.
好きな食べ物の定義
How is it different?
Because what I want to eat right now would be more like a changeable.
Maybe I see the Calorimetal.
Yeah.
Maybe that affect me and like, oh, I want to eat Calorimetal.
You know, that's changeable easily.
But what I like the most now isn't affected by, you know, those things or like that things or things.
It's like at least two, three, four hours.
It won't be changed.
Oh.
Yeah.
I see.
That's...
What are you going to write on your profile?
My favorite food?
Yeah.
The profile is going to go up there for five years.
I think that's the proper way to ask the question.
Okay.
Yeah.
I think this is better.
Group food?
What?
That's a terrible answer.
That is such a terrible answer.
That is so cheating.
Fresh food.
That is so fucking cheating, dude.
Okay.
I would say fresh food.
Look, that's a terrible answer.
Fresh foods.
That is a terrible answer.
Good foods.
Let's say...
What else?
Japanese foods or foods from overseas.
Dude.
Dude, that is such a terrible answer.
What else?
Yeah.
Things like that.
You're going to have to skip this date.
Like, I can't...
We can't continue this relationship anymore.
Yeah, sadly.
It's not going to work.
Yeah, sadly.
Sadly, if you're not fitting this style.
I'm sorry, but...
Yeah, I love Pho, for example.
Vietnamese food.
Pho, I love that too.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I like that.
You like that?
I like that.
You like that?
I'm starting to see where this relationship is going.
Yeah.
Like, when somebody's asking you the question,
what's your favorite food?
You know, they're looking for the specific dish.
Yeah.
You get what I'm saying, right?
I know you get what I'm saying.
Yeah, I love...
Like something...
You know, the ingredients are fresh.
Obviously.
Obviously, right?
Obviously.
Cooked freshly.
Who doesn't?
Who doesn't like that?
But I especially love those, you know?
Who doesn't like fresh food?
And cooked freshly.
Who doesn't like freshly cooked dish?
Or like...
Like authentic Pho, you know?
What?
Like, I don't want to.
The people who doesn't have any background of Vietnam
make Pho.
Yeah.
That's not the best, you know?
Well, who doesn't, man?
Who doesn't, man?
Who doesn't like that?
Or...
Things that are not too expensive.
Obviously.
But sometimes it's good.
Sometimes it's okay.
Yeah, sometimes it's okay.
Like you want to spend...
Sometimes.
It's like the experience.
Yeah.
I know, I know, I know.
To make it short.
I know, I know.
I know.
You know, I love natto gohan sometimes, so...
Okay, okay.
You know, it's a...
That I like.
You like it?
Yeah.
All right, let me reframe the question again.
Give me one specific dish.
For what?
Your favorite food.
It's going to go on your profile for five years.
One specific dish.
You can't define me by that question.
I would say then...
Yeah, sushi, I would say.
You'd say sushi?
Yeah.
But it's not the correct...
It's not the, you know...
It's not the actual answer.
Yeah.
It's just...
I just said it, you know?
I get it, I get it.
Yeah.
Or steak.
Sure, sure.
I can say that.
Takoyaki, maybe.
Even though I've been acting like this,
I have been playing the devil's advocate.
I agree with you.
好きな食べ物の難しさ
That is the exact reason why the question,
what's your favorite food, does not make sense.
Yeah.
I mean, I can say anything.
Well, if you want to.
I mean, I understand the situation.
I can say takoyaki, or the pho,
or like some genovese pasta, or whatever.
To keep the conversation going.
That doesn't mean anything.
Like, it doesn't catch...
It doesn't explain me.
Yeah.
Right.
I get it.
I get it.
So...
I get it.
Yeah.
It's so convenient for me,
because I have like this American character,
where I can write pizza.
True!
And I tend to crave for pizza more often than other foods,
so I guess that makes it fair,
but like, it makes sense for me.
Like, it fits me.
And people understand that.
People understand that, like, easily.
It looks perfect.
Yeah.
In that paper.
Right.
If you said sushi,
that's more like,
oh, you really love sushi?
Yeah.
You must really love sushi, right?
Well, I mean, yeah.
Well, yeah, I do, but...
It's just one of my favorites.
Yeah.
Should I say something like,
well, like,
omaru ebi no bisku,
or something like that?
Wait, how about if you think about it like this?
Like what I said,
just seconds ago.
What...
When you look back at your cravings,
what food popped up the most?
In my past life?
Yeah, in your past life.
Yeah, in your past life.
As long as you can remember,
as long as you can recall,
if you collect all the data
for the food that you've craved for,
you can sort of, like, align that.
Yeah.
And extract.
And then just take out the number one
and write that on your profile.
That can, like, logically be your favorite food.
Yeah.
So what is that?
And don't say water or something.
That's a fucking terrible answer.
Yeah, I'm serious now.
I'm just trying to be honest with your question, though.
So I think here's a type difference between me and you.
Okay.
So you go for something you loved once, right?
Yeah.
Like, once you love pepperoni pizza,
and just choose one.
Yeah.
Ooh.
You know, right?
Yeah.
I'm not something like that.
You're not that type.
You like to be more adventurous.
Yeah.
Go for something you've never had.
That's big.
That's big.
That's true.
That's why I'm more like...
You're always going to want to go for something you've never had?
For example, ramen, yes.
Many times that I craved for.
But I cannot say that...
It's, like, close to pizza.
It's the same to yakiniku.
Sushi, of course.
It's...
Maybe okonomiyaki, that's the same.
It's like...
But, you know, okay, even though you are the type of person
that would want to try out for something you've never had,
you do get, like,
なんとなくラーメンがいいな。
Yes.
Right?
Yes.
If you extract that information,
what do you get?
Well, just like I said, it's like...
Ramen, sushi, pizza, hamburgers.
Okay, so what's the most frequent out of that?
I think...
Honestly, I have no idea.
There's not one thing that's obviously higher than the other ones.
Wow.
Yeah, water.
It's obviously high, but...
Yeah, obviously high, but it's water.
Or maybe coffee.
What about that?
No?
That's obviously high in my...
Yeah, that's very high.
It's obviously higher than the average, so...
True.
Okay, I guess...
It's not food.
It's not...
But I guess you can put it in your profile.
好きな食べ物の難しさ
Kind of.
Sure, sure.
Yeah.
What else?
It's so difficult.
It's so difficult.
This question is so difficult.
If I have to calculate everything and extract,
my answer would be, like, rice.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Or, you know, like flour.
But maybe meat?
Like steak?
Like, including everything, you know.
Man.
Man, this question is really hard to answer.
Yeah.
But now I'm craving for the Fujimaru ramen.
Fujimaru ramen?
Yes.
Is that good?
Yeah.
Oh, Fujimaru.
That's a Jiroke.
Oh, Jiroke, I see.
Yeah.
All right.
So that's mine.
We'll talk about the Jiroke on the next one.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
All right, thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
