Your hair is blushing?
I had a feeling part 2 would be like this. Part 1 was just a little too normal for JPod.
I like the barber’s ほほ! So funny….

Sounds like this unlucky お客さん may be traveling from 美容院 to 病院
Sorry for the bad pun.

Hey, at least now we know if we ever need a hair cut in Harajuku, we should avoid that salon with the chickens and…erm…the elephant…
(seriously, WHO picks the background tracks!)
Friday at 2:27 am
i’m trying to get to the bottom of it myself!!! that guy must out of his mind!
but, actually, i’ve got an elephant parked behind the office right now.
he’s ready to pounce tomorrow at 8 AM!
everything will be totally normal from here on out. i PROMISE!!!! (sort of)
Friday at 3:28 am
Normal? Who wants normal?

りゃ was used in today’s lesson as a contraction of れは but I also see it after て, for example:
あらかじめ分かってりゃ、行かなかったよ。
From the context of this quote, ‘if I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have gone’ would make sense, so is りゃ a contraction of (い) れば in this case?
The stuff covered in the Monkey Business and Traffic Jam lessons really helped with reading some of the manga I have. How would I find out if there are any more contractions I don’t know? If you don’t know them, you’re not able to recognise grammar that you already understand soundly.

Hahahahaha The bonus was too funny!
Javizy, is that Mojo or Taro?
Friday at 12:44 pm
Javizyさん、
You are right that in the case of your sample sentence 分かってりゃ is a construction of 分かっていれば. ~ていれば is often constructed to ~てれば in daily conversation, and sometimes to ~てりゃ, which is very casual and mainly used by men.
れば is constructed to りゃ, so it doesn’t matter whether it’s after て or not, as in the example below.
もっと かっこよければ ⇒ もっと かっこよけりゃ

sound so strange… a customer in for a haircut and fainted? what happen?
Friday at 8:43 pm
If you listened to the conversation, the barber hit him before she cut his hair!

He didn’t faint, he got knocked out!
Friday at 9:24 pm
Thanks Mayumiさん, I’ll be sure to look out for the other variations in future. I hope you weren’t suggesting anything by that example sentence though
Kitty, it’s Mr Tweeney, Krusty’s monkey assistant from The Simpsons. He does pretty well for himself, maybe Tarou should consider a career in showbiz.
Friday at 11:19 pm
Hehe, love the bonus track, and love the main lesson as well!
Monday at 3:53 am
It’s sooooo funny, right?

I can’t wait to see their real hair!!

Hi,
Would it be possible to get a translation and explanation(!) when there`s a joke at the beginning of the podcast?
Thanks,
A.

NOTE: The romaji is incorrect with きばつ on the lesson notes.

Ianさん,
Thanks for pointing this out!

Regarding “nasaru”
Is this the nasai used in polite imperative (or whatever it’s called)?
like お待ちなさい
Monday at 11:04 am
Rune-san
That’s right.
