Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast
Hey guys
What's up
Sir, I lost a sheet
Oh, you lost a sheet?
Yeah
Oh
It's coming
Is it coming back?
Yeah, it's coming
Oh, yeah
How's your smartphone, by the way? Is it healthy?
I
You wouldn't say it's healthy?
I think he's healthy
But getting old
Oh
And getting slow and slow
I see
Every single day
Hmm
I feel like
His muscles are getting weaker than
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Weak eyesight
Weak, weaker eyesight
He needs glasses
Pochokis
Right
Slow moving
And then
The tsue
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah
Hmm
That's what's happening
I see
But
You're taking good care of him
Yeah, I have to
Hmm
Yeah
Okay
Um
Um
So this is from Hii-san
All right, Hii-san
Thank you
Um
Hello, Kevin and Yama-chan
Hello
My name is Hii
I'm always enjoying listening to your podcast
Thank you
When I first started listening to your podcast
I only understood about 50% of what you were talking about
But recently I've come to understand 80 to 90%
Awesome
You two are men
So I thought I should know how women talk
So I listened to a podcast where two native women talk
I only understood about 10 to 20%
Okay
It's very fast
Um
Do you talk slowly on purpose in your podcast?
Or do you talk slowly like a battlefield cameraman, Yoichi Watanabe?
Um
P.S. I work at a store called California Pizza Kitchen
There are more than 120 stores in the United States
But there is only one store in Japan
Wow
California Pizza Kitchen
I think I've heard of that store
Oh
But
In the United States
Did that person say that there's only one in Japan?
In Japan, yes
Huh
I would be happy if Kevin, who likes pizza, could come
But I think it's too early for Kevin, who is a healthy boomer, to come
I would like to ask if Yama-chan could say Shikisochinchaku in English
Can you?
Yeah
Hyperpigmentation
Oh shit
You
Yeah
Oh shit, you remembered
Yeah, mustard
Oh shit
Yeah
Nice
Right, we wrote a song about it, right?
Yeah
Yeah
Alright
What?
Oh, wait, separate, wait
You
You wrote a song about hyperpigmentation?
I'm writing about it
You're writing about it?
Yes, yes
Oh shit
To, to memorize the
Oh shit, wait, wait
Can I hear the song?
Yeah, like a
Not yet, it's not
Oh, it's not done yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But I'm writing
But you're actually working on it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh shit
I'm actually excited for that to, you know
03:00
Yeah, tell me when you, when you get it done
Alright, thanks, yeah
So, do you know California Pizza Kitchen?
I thought I knew it
But the one that I have in my mind
It's like, it's not, there's no, I don't
There's, I think there's several stores in Japan, so
Then maybe not this one
Yeah
California
There's only one store in Japan
Can you, California Kitchen?
California Pizza Kitchen
California Pizza Kitchen
La Zona Kawasaki
Oh
Right?
La Zona Kawasaki, right?
You've been there before many times, right?
I've been to La Zona Kawasaki
So that's why
Let me look at their actual position
Actual location of the store
I've been there before, yes, I've been there before
Oh, wow
Yep
Yeah, I've been there
Wow
So you
And he's on my beat
Yeah, we
Together in the same place
This was before I started any of the social media content
So, yeah, but I've been there before
Wow
Yeah
Wow
Do you remember the taste or like atmosphere?
I
I don't think I ordered pizza there
You went to California Pizza Kitchen and then
That's right, that's right
I went to California Pizza Kitchen, did not order pizza
I don't think I did
Wow
Yeah
I don't remember
You know
It was such a long time
I think it was like when I was in
Daigakusei or something
Yeah, yeah
I think I was with a girl, right?
I think it was like a date or something
And it wasn't that
That
We weren't that deep into the relationship yet
Okay
So we were more like
Okay, I gotta order something that's like casual
Like this isn't about something that I wanna eat
This is more like
What's appropriate in this situation
Not pizza, no
Wow
So just casual salad
Yeah, just yeah
Yeah, probably like Caesar salad
And some pasta, something like that
Yeah
Okay
So you went there as in
Just a restaurant
Yeah, just a random restaurant
Like in Kawasaki
Yeah, okay
Not for pizza
Not for pizza, no
I see
But I guess
So if this is the only store in Japan
It must be like, you know
But like that's been there for a really long time
No?
Yeah
It must be, yeah
Then still only one store?
Mm-hmm
Then it must not be as good then
But they're surviving at the same time
But they're surviving at the same time
But they're not getting more locations at the same time
True
Is it fair to say that it's not as good?
No?
Yeah
What's California pizza?
Is that famous?
Is that typical Thai?
I actually don't know what a California pizza is
06:00
I don't even know if it even exists
Okay, okay
Let me Google it, see what I can find
What is California pizza?
California style pizza
It's a combination of New York and Italian thin crust
So it's thin?
A California style pizza
A thin crust pizza noted for its fresh, non-traditional toppings
Such as chicken, peanut sauce
artichoke hearts
and goat cheese
rather than the standard pepperoni and mozzarella
Wow
So the California style pizza has its own unique toppings
Wow
It's pretty unique, you know
Peanut sauce
Yeah
Artichoke hearts, goat cheese
That's pretty, like, I've never
Yeah
I'm
Wow
I'm glad I didn't go for that one

I mean, I've never tried it
So, like, I can't really say anything about it
It wouldn't be fair
It should be good, yeah
To say that it's, like, not good
We have to try it first
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We have to try it first
Of course, of course
Let's try it and then actually rate this thing
Yes, yes, yes
Yeah, yeah
Which one would you go for?
They got chicken, peanut sauce, artichoke hearts and goat cheese
Which one would you choose?
