ねーねー、ネットフリックスのラブイズブラインド 日本バージョンみてる？
2月15日から配信（はいしん）されてて、もう全（ぜん）エピソード配信されてるんだけど、私と友だち ドはまりしてるの。

Hey, have you seen the Japanese version of Love is Blind on Netflix?It's been on since February 15th, and all the episodes are already available, and me and my friends are really into it.

声（こえ）だけで結婚相手（あいて）をきめるんだけど、ほんとみんな見てみて。
さいしょは、このテレビ楽しいのかな～？って思ってたんだけど、どんどん沼（ぬま）ったんだよね。

It's about deciding who to marry based on voice alone, and everyone should watch it.At first, I wondered if I would enjoy this TV show. At first, I was wondering if it would be fun, but then I got more and more hooked.

私が沼（ぬま）ってたときにちょうど全（ぜん）エピソード配信（はいしん）だったからマジでよかった。あれ、毎週（まいしゅう）配信はけっこうきついよ。もう次が気になって気になって仕方（しかた）なくて、もう次！次！ってかんじ。ネタバレしないように、くわしくはいえないけど、時間があるときに見てみてね。

I'm really glad that all the episodes were available when I was swamped.It's pretty hard to get through every week. I couldn't stop thinking about the next one, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Next! That's how I feel.
I can't tell you much about it so as not to spoil it, but you should check it out when you have time.

ちなみに、その出演者（しゅつえんしゃ）たちの友だち役（やく）で「テラスハウス」の人とか「あいのり」の人とか出てきてびっくりしたんだよね。いっしゅん、あれ？って目うたがっちゃった。

By the way, I was surprised to see people from "Terrace House" and "Ainori" as the friends of the actors. For a moment, I couldn't believe my eyes.

ラブイズブラインドはアメリカバージョンもあって、シーズン1とシーズン2があるんだけど、私はアメリカに住んだことがないから日本バージョンのほうが楽しかったかな～。

There's also an American version of Love is Blind, with season 1 and season 2, but I've never lived in America, so I think I enjoyed the Japanese version more.

九州男児（きゅうしゅうだんじ）っていうことばが出てきたり、日本の文化の勉強にもなりそうって思った！九州男児っていうのは、そのまま九州出身（しゅっしん）の男性（だんせい）のことなんだけど、性格（せいかく）とかをあらわすときにつかうことばなんだよね。もし聞いたことなかったらググってみてね！

I thought it would be a good way to learn about Japanese culture, like the word "Kyusyu Danji"!The "Kyusyu Danji" refers to a man from Kyushu, and is used to describe his personality. If you've never heard of it, please Google it!

Egg prices are rising in America. The average cost of a dozen eggs hit a record $4.95 in January — up 53% from a year earlier. The price was below $2 in early 2022.

While the coronavirus pandemic and inflation have affected prices, experts say the real problem has been bird flu. An outbreak that began in early 2022 has become the largest in US history, affecting more than 100 million egg-laying hens.

To cope with rising egg prices, some Americans have been going straight to the source — and renting hens.

Rent The Chicken in New Hampshire is letting people rent egg-laying hens for six months at a time. For $595, you get two egg-laying hens and a guide on how to take care of them, as well as chicken feed and a coop to keep the birds in.

The birds actually aren't very difficult to take care of, explains Brian Templeton, owner of Rent The Chicken. "You just let them out and walk around and they go in at night on their own," he told CBS News.

"People really enjoy it," he added.

Rent The Chicken says two hens should produce eight to 14 eggs per week.

That comes to about $25 for every dozen eggs — so it's not really a savings.

You can also get four hens for $735, which would reduce your cost to about $15 per dozen eggs.

However, if you'd like to keep your chickens and coop at the end of your rental period, you can — for an extra $350 to $450.

According to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, hens will usually live for six to eight years, and produce eggs for three to four of those years.

So that might bring your price down over time.

Welcome to the More than English Podcast! I'm your host Stephen. I'm from the UK and I have been teaching English lessons online since 2016. The purpose of the More than English podcast is not to chat about frivolous topics but rather, to discuss existential ideas and concepts that can literally change the way you see the world, and act in it, in areas such as philosophy, culture, business, tech, politics, health psychology, history, all my favourite topics! But using English that is more accessible to English learners than regular native English podcasts. Not by using basic vocabulary, but instead by speaking clearly, and highlighting advanced-level vocabulary that you can learn in every episode.
