Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Linda interviews Oliver Longer, a man 100 years older than Oliver Long.
Oh I see.

                                                            • -


(Oh, look ...)

I am with Oliver Longer, a Sunnyhill man who's celebrating a major milestone. How old are you, sir?
Well, I just turned 210 years young!
Well, you don't look a day past 150!
Thank you, Linda!
What determines a long, healthy life?
Oh, laughter and an active lifestyle and Rajio Eikaiwa, I think.
And there you have it all. If you want to live longer and well, Olive Longer is the man to talk to!

Oliver Longer, you live a longer, we all live a longer with Oliver Longer.
Thank you, sir.

(I guess it's a toy...)

He has a good sense of humor and good taste in radio programs, too.
You said it.

It's a happy ending in the Green Mountains for a missing female hiker and her cat. Eddy Sato has the latest.
Hi, Linda. The hiker's cat found the search crew and led them to her!
What a story!
She suffered minor frostbite and was airlifted to safety.
Is that her cat I hear?
Yes. Meet Max.
Good work, Max. Take a bow!

Bow-wow!

Was that Max or a dog?
Yes. That was Max. He's bilingual.
Wow!
You are bilingual, too.

Cat and dog?
And dog too.
Yes.
Four.

That was a cat, right?
Cat? Jeff?
Bow-wow. That's a dog.
That's a dog.

To everyone.
Are you sure?
Positive.

I'm with Tsukuru Subete who has come up with a mini kitchen inside a refrigerator! Tsukuru, how does it work?
Okay. Let's say you want soup. Any preference?
Minestrone.
OK. You tell your order to the refrigerator.
All right. Minestrone, chef.
Ryokai.
The vegetables are being chopped now. Voilá!
That was fast! Piping hot soup! Is this out on the market yet?
Not yet. I still have to work out some bugs.

Hmm... between us, Tsukuru, the minestrone needs improving.
Hmm... That may be your accent. This is made for the Japanese market. So you need a Japanese accent.
Hmm... Minestrone, chef.
Mada
Try stretching the "rone" part like "rrrrrone."
Minestrrrone, chef.
Mada, mada
Well.
I should listen to Rajio Nihongo Kaiwa.

Oh my goodness.
Language is always a problem or language is always the key.
Yeah.
And always a lot of fun.

Jesse Martin fended off a bear today! Jesse, tell us about it.
I'd just caught a good-sized trout. Suddenly, I saw a bear swimming across the river.
What did you do?
I tried to stay cool. Then the bear charged! I shouted, "Hey! Go away!"
Then what happened?
He got scared. But he said he couldn't take off empty-handed or empty-pawed. It's the face thing, you know. He said he didn't want to lose face in front of the other bears.
(他の熊の前で面目がつぶれる。顔が立たない)
So what did you guys do?
Well, I gave him my trout.
No fish for supper!
I'll have to grin and bear it.

So the bear was able to speak English?
Barely. (どうにかね)
That's not bear (fair). I speak English pretty good. I mean, pretty well.
Yes, you do.
You must listen to Rajio Eikaiwa.
Oh!
Yes, I do.
Wow.

Well, that was a scary bear but the bear itself stayed pretty cool.
Yes, he stayed cool.
Certainly did.
Yes.
