髪の毛チェック・・・
耳チェック・・・
Do my ears look okay?
Yeah man, cute as...
Evening all, cheers!
Check this out, man
Oh.. right... you're teeth are a mess aren't they...
Yep, they're a mess
You didn't get braces even though you're American?
My crooked teeth are cute aren't they?
Of course, in Japan, that slight snaggletooth look is considered cute
But there's something I'm really thankful for
What, you're thankful for your ugly *** teeth?
No no, not that
So, the other day, ***..., I mean 3 o'clock (?)
***? What happened to your ***, man?
I thought this was a conversation about teeth!
Wait wait wait a minute...
So it was like, 3 in the afternoon and I got the munchies
I suddenly felt like eating ***
You mean "cereal", right? (shiriaru tabetai vs shiri wo tabetai)
Right, someone bought me some ***
Oh, I see, you wanted to eat ***
In Japanese, it's shiri-a-ru? Cereal?
Right
You know what a pain katakana words are man...
Actually, katakana words are the trickiest for foreigners to get
Yeah, they're tough
I don't think I've met a foreigner who can say "McDonald's" (makudonarudo) right
So as I was eating CEREAL...
I went and cracked one of my teeth
Eh, you broke a tooth?
Right, it broke
So it really hurt...
Ouch!
So I toughed it out for a bit and then went to a dentist
And they fixed me up
But especially after talking to you, Hiko, I realized
I was really lucky
Yeah, Japan is good for that - USA dentists are a total rip off
It only cost 1,000 yen
Yeah, unthinkable
So, what you had done is called getting a "crown" in English (not sure of Japanese)
So they put a cap/cover over it, right?
Right
In New Zealand, and I'm sure it's the same in the US
That can cost thousands of dollars
I had Japanese friends in NZ with the same problem
It was cheaper to buy a return air ticket and get it done in Japan than to do it in NZ
In Japan, the dentists are affordable even though they are highly skilled
I feel bad for Japanese dentists
They do a good job but barely get paid for it
One of my students, one who was quite well off
Her husband is a dentist
I think he is an oral surgeon
So according to this guy (she said he is retired now)
She said there is no money in it because of insurance
Huh?
Everyone... what's the word for "bankruptcy"?
Tousan, or Hassan
So he went out of business
Because insurance payments were too low
So I was really lucky
First time it cost about 2000 yen
And they took 3 X-Rays
I guess there is the issue of brain cancer, but hey...
What?
Brain cancer (Nou no Gan) is a concern that comes later, I said..
Throat cancer? (nodo gan)
Brain cancer - shooting all those X-rays and radiation at your head, dude
No biggie...
My brain... it would probably only get better...
Well, I don't think it would get worse...
So for the Japanese watching this vid
You should all know you are super lucky
In America, I'd be out of pocket for thousands
It costs and arm and a leg even if you have insurance from what I hear
Right, it's crazy
Right, I mean overseas, dentists are often better off than regular doctors
They tend to drive better cars too
People go into dentistry for money
In Japan, it's more of a humble profession for people really into it
Or following family traditions, taking it very seriously
Abroad, dentists tend to do really well
I don't know they are THAT rich
Also, I'm not sure they get into it because they want money
Well, in NZ at least dentistry school is harder to get into than regular medical school
Oh right?
I had no idea
[a brief oyaji pause]
Oh, dude, check this out...
I picked up an iPhone 4S this week
The camera on this thing is great
I've been using a 3G up unti lnow, the camera on this is useless
This takes really nice video
So I'll make YouTube vids with this
How did you get your hands on one of those?
Everyone is going crazy reserving and stuff
It fell from a truck..
What?
It was handed to me by some dodgy guy off the back of a truck
Oh, you got it from the mafia?
Japanese don't get jokes like that, man
Saying it fell off the back of a truck
I explained this in one of my own classes
How it means you bought it from the mafia
Ah right, so yeah, when we have something in apparently suspicious circumstances, we joke that it fell off the back of a truck
ie- it's stolen
You say that in New Zealand too?
Yeah man
Cool
When someone accuses someone of maybe having stolen something, saying "where did you get that!"
Kids always make the excuse "it fell off the back of a truck"
And you know how Japanese love to line up for stuff, especially things like the Ginza Apple store
My student got one - lined up for six hours for it
I waited 5 minutes to reserve this
And I picked it up on release day
You ripped someone off, right?
Right, it fell from the back of a truck
I just picked it up...
Nono, I just went to a less popular Softbank shop in Shinjuku
They hooked me up right away
Lucky me
Even today, one week later, there are still long lines in front of the Apple Ginza store
So, what's the verdict? You recommend it?
I don't know if you have an iPhone 4
But if you have a 3G or 3GS, especially as a YouTuber who shoots video
The fact the camera is so good
Also playing with *** (Siri = ***)
It's so much fun saying "Siri" in Japanese...
It works better than expected, it takes Australian accents
This is my old phone
When you use Siri in Japanese, it's fine...
But in English...
Right, the older models have "Voice Control"
This is just a bit more developed
And it works for Australian English
So I just try to speak in a less intelligent version of my New Zealand accent
It understand perfectly that way
I told my phone to call my wife, and it called a different woman...
Dude, what are you up to?! That's something you set on the phone I'll bet
We're running out of time
But there is another problem
We are Two and a HALF Oyajis, right?
Right, we've been getting complaints
We try to explain, the two of us add up to 2.5
But nobody gets it
People keep saying "get a 0.5"
So we've got to start opening applications for that
For the extra half
So we should hunt around for an extra member
You don't have to LIKE us at all
Or agree with us
You can have your own views
But remember, we are going to be tough
We need to know that they can stand the pressure cooker environment of this show
So I want to try this out with a bunch of candidates
Girls are fine too, right?
What?
Girls are welcome too, right?
Yes. Especially cute ones are desperately needed.
No, we'll take anyone who'll take us
But that's where we want to take this
So we'll take video applications for this
Audition videos? Oh, I like that
So leave a video response to this video with your audition video
What is that in Japanese again?
Douga Kaitou, Douga Henshin?
But just attach it where you would comment
If you're shy, just call, I mean YouTube message Hikosaemon
Yeah, message me or whatever works
So we'll take applications for anyone wanting to join, but remember, we're gonna be tough!
If you get in here, we're not going to go easy
Because we're oyajis
Someone who can properly speak their mind would be great
Yep, and finally, this weekend, NZ vs France in the rugby world cup final
GO NEW ZEALAND!
Americans have no interest in that whatsoever dude...
I'm fine with that
If Americans suddenly start liking rugby, it will ruin everything
Nobody would be able to compete with them
For me, I only know the All Blacks
I've never even heard of the Wallabies
You haven't heard of the Wallabies? But... didn't you just say "Wallabies"?
A student told me
But all I know is the All Blacks
So I think they're pretty cool
Yeah, we're cool
I don't know anyone else though
So, good luck New Zealand
So we'll see you again soon
Next vid will be in English on Victor's channel
Go and check it out over there, we do good shows there too
