Oh, it is well, it is made in China. So is this an authentic dragon? I mean, it does I mean it says Dragon Ball Z. The font is correct, right?

SPEAKER_03 7:29

Well, sort of no, that's real. It's kind of blurry.

SPEAKER_02 7:35

Washed out, yeah. And you'll notice that the golden hair has turned gray. Yeah, probably. Well, it's $4.99. No, I bought this in uh so there was a time, you know, before the internet, where, you know, so Dragon Ball Z was just sort of being aired on like adult swim and was making a big breakthrough in the US, um, which is how a lot of uh young people that and like Sailor Moon got into like anime and stuff. The dubbed English Dragon Ball episodes, they went up to like the Ginyu Force and then they just stopped abruptly because they just ran out of money or some production issue. But then you'd go to these stores in the mall and they would have these like clearly you know printed out of uh you know an image that they got somewhere they printed out on on a printer, like not official box art, and it would have a picture of all these Dragon Ball characters, like VHS tapes. And it was just stuff that was like recorded off the TV. Oh they would sometimes have like English, like very poor English subtitles, and the quality would be like very bad, but you could get glimpses into like these future episodes that had not aired in the US yet. And so at these stores that don't no longer exist anymore, but yeah, I think they were selling, you know, some of these toys, so I just bought one. So maybe it is a maybe it is a knockoff. I don't know. It is what it is. It's my it's super battle collection volume twenty-seven vegeta.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

So Vegeta makes me hungry.

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Yeah, well, they're all named after fruits and vegetables. So there's uh gohan. Gohan and then there's uh kakaroto, which is like a ninjin.

SPEAKER_02 9:33

I got some other ones, but I figured why not bring him out just for for conversation. I brought him out on my live stream, and someone was like, oh, Vegeta's hair went gray. And I was like, Well, when you're 30 years old, then maybe your hair's gonna go gray too. Maybe you should chill out a bit, huh? You know, it happens to everyone. Don't be so hard on the guy.

I'm as Genky as ever for Genki. You know, I wanted to revisit actually from Genki. Because we're looking at page 72. We've got these all these, you know, kokol, sokol, a sokal. But you know, sometimes when you're in, let's say take number two, for example. Well, actually, no, let's do number one. I'm uh I'm gonna expand on this if I if I could. Expand on the toilet. So normally the normal one would be let's revisit it.

So we we should call us dasen ol. Oh king of dasen.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Is that off the rails. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, I figure why not take these exercises, look at the pictures, and I'll try to look at other ways I might want to interpret it. Uh not not in a way that's like too complicated of Japanese, but just what would I want to naturally say in a situation like this and and try to bring it up. Tsukiatari?

SPEAKER_03 14:29

Yeah, it's like a dead end.

SPEAKER_02 14:30

Well, it's like a T intersection.

SPEAKER_03 14:31

Okay. Is that atari like hit? Like like hit?

SPEAKER_03 14:43

Yeah. So tsuku is like hit too. Atari is also hit.

SPEAKER_02 14:47

Okay. Yeah, well that's a that sounds like a dead end to me. Yeah. So tsukiatari is like end of the road or dead end. And then I will try to remember to read some of this stuff when I go to bed.

SPEAKER_03 15:00

That's okay. Oh, go uh tsukiata geni nanigata.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

But yeah, I mean at night when I review something uh when I'm going to bed, it just means I, you know, uh didn't have discipline to schedule it during my day. So instead I just try and cram it in before I fall asleep.

SPEAKER_03 15:17

You know, that's good that you do it right before because that's the best time to remember or memorize.

SPEAKER_02 15:23

Oh, sure.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

Oh, right before bed? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay I'll take it. Okay. So now we are doing Genki page 73.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Page seventy-three.

SPEAKER_03 15:34

V. Pay at work. Point at each item below picture A and ask whose it is. Your partner will refer to picture B. Oh page 79 and tell you who it belongs to.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

Well, maybe, you know, I hate to say it, but maybe we need a second copy of Genky or we need a zero.

SPEAKER_03 15:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

Or we could just make things up.
