1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,820
Okay, I'm so nervous. It's like...

2
00:00:01,820 --> 00:00:03,020
You just missed the stop sign.

3
00:00:03,020 --> 00:00:04,020
Oh, oops. Sorry.

4
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,740
We just sold my car that I've had for eight years.

5
00:00:09,740 --> 00:00:15,020
Also, we were joking that Frank doesn't have a escape vehicle anymore.

6
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:18,960
So, he wanted to just get up and leave. Can't do that anymore.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,820
Yeah, so we basically sold off our car to a dealership

8
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:29,320
because we didn't want to deal with all the hassles of finding a buyer,

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,800
We never imported the car into Canada, which is why we came to the States to sell it.

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,500
And the first dealership we went to, they actually wouldn't even buy it

11
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,500
because the title was in Massachusetts.

12
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:47,540
My driver's license is now Canadian, and the plates are from IOP.

13
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:51,600
And apparently, it's like more work for them to actually buy the car.

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,480
So, essentially, they're just being lazy.

15
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,420
And they're like, "Oh, yeah, if you get the title in Washington, we'll buy it."

16
00:00:57,420 --> 00:01:01,900
But obviously, we're not going to go to the DMZ for three hours, and there's no way we can really get a title

17
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,380
because we never lived in Washington. We don't have an address here or anything.

18
00:01:05,380 --> 00:01:08,380
So, we just went to a different dealership, and they bought it.

19
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:10,420
We bought it out on $500, though.

20
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:15,860
Yeah, it was $500 less than the other dealership, but it's not a big deal to us.

21
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:21,400
Because we could have probably gotten like $3,000 to $5,000 more if we sold it to a private party.

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,880
But we don't live in the States, and it's going to be like over a three-hour round trip.

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,880
And we're not even in Seattle.

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,880
We're in a city called Bellingham, which is another hour and a half north of Seattle.

25
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Yeah. So, we made a whole day out of this.

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,880
We sold the car, and then we went to Trader Joe's, and we just stopped at Costco.

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Now, we're on our way back. And surprisingly, that took us all day.

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Well, we also went to the mall. We also ate food at this random place.

29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,920
That was really good.

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:02:02,600
And we also got a new phone plan for me because if you have Google Fi or AT&T or T-Mobile or any of these phone plans,

31
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:08,600
like a U.S. phone plan, and you're in Canada for an extended period of time, they'll actually cut off your data.

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,880
Because even though they allow international, they allow roaming, they allow calls between like Mexico, U.S., and Canada,

33
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,160
you don't actually, like you can't keep it for an extended period of time.

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,960
So, my data got cut off maybe like a half year ago or something.

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,120
So, Frank just does not have data.

36
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,920
I just don't have data. I always have to tether out with Annie's phone.

37
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,080
Yeah. One time, I lost Frank at Costco. I just like could not find him for the life of me.

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
I walked around for at least 40 minutes or something.

39
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,880
No, you didn't. That's such an exaggeration.

40
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,520
Anyways, and then I was like almost, I was about to give up, and then my friend calls me,

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,120
and she just happened to be at Costco too, and she saw him at the door just like wandering around outside.

42
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,440
No, okay. Annie like never tells stories truthfully because she tries to make it more entertaining.

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,560
But like whenever she says something, you have to think about it. It's like exaggerated at least 50%.

44
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,840
So, like she was not wandering around for 40 minutes.

45
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,680
I was not like, so like what happened was I couldn't find Annie.

46
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,040
So, I assumed like, okay, maybe she's like at the car waiting for me.

47
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,920
And so, I went to the car. She wasn't there. Then I go back to the entrance, but I don't have a Costco card.

48
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:24,040
So, they don't let me in. Like I can't go in. And then Annie's friend comes out and she's like, oh, like I just saw Annie.

49
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,440
And it's like, are you here with Annie or whatever? I'm like, oh, I actually can use your phone to call her.

50
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,800
And so, I call Annie. And Annie is like furious. And she's like cursing. She's like, where the hell are you?

51
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Blah, blah, blah. And then the friend is like, oh my God. Like, did she get here at this screen?

52
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,120
Yeah, my friend was the one calling me. And she was like, oh, Frank is over here. I was like, oh my God.

53
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,920
Oh, I'm so mad at him. At that point, I was just so pissed because of the phone thing.

54
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,720
Like Frank hasn't had a phone plan for a long time, which means I can never find him whenever I want.

55
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,320
And it's something that I've like, already like got so upset over multiple times.

56
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Listen to why she's upset though. She's upset because she had to push the cart and it's so heavy.

57
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,720
The cart that I literally push every single time without complaint. You have to push it once

58
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,480
and you get mad. Yeah.

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Think about that. Well, I was like tired and my feet hurt and like nowhere to be found.

60
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,560
Wow. On top of that, Frank's phone is always on silent, which means like,

61
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,240
even if he does have like wifi or the days that he used to have like, like phone service,

62
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,680
I would never be able to find him because it's just always on silent.

63
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Yeah. And then WhatsApp made a feature that it would like override the silent feature.

64
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,360
If you made someone like a important contact, which I eventually did.

65
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,880
My iPhone does that too, I think.

66
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,840
Yeah. But like at that point I didn't even have data anymore. So it's not like it mattered.

67
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:51,560
But on a similar subject, we can kind of talk about the Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial results.

68
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,600
Like I've seen surprisingly a lot of mixed feelings towards the trial.

69
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,680
So there's like a group of feminists that are like, oh, everyone's using this as an excuse to like

70
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:13,240
bash women. And like, I think that they're really focusing on the wrong thing. And I was shocked to

71
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:19,080
see a bunch of people on social media being like, no one should be celebrating this. This is like an

72
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,160
excuse. This is like a hoax. This is like Johnny Depp tricking everyone. He's so powerful. He's so rich.

73
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:33,720
And I'm just thinking, like, how did people get into such a brainwashed? How do they get so brainwashed

74
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,480
into thinking this? And like, are they just really do they actually believe this? Are they trying to get clout in

75
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:46,920
some way? Are they like because I can't understand the logical reasoning on why you would try to make

76
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:55,240
this into such a like, man versus woman? Because it's, it's not gender specific, like you would support

77
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,240
a victim of physical abuse, regardless of the gender, right? But apparently not. There's a lot

78
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:05,160
of people who are just like, anti men now. And I read one quote that was really kind of telling

79
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:11,080
on this subject, whereas it's like, feminism means equal rights, it doesn't mean putting one gender

80
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,800
over the other. And I think a lot of people, when they think of feminists, they think of like,

81
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:21,640
man hating. And I think it's like a very radical, small group of like, man hating or men hating

82
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,280
feminists. And it could be guys and girls, I've seen both of them in this party. And I think it

83
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:31,000
gives the rest of the group a really bad look. I think it's the same with like, political affiliation.

84
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,480
So regardless if you're Democrat or Republican, I think most people are pretty normal, like they're

85
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,040
closer to the middle part of the spectrum. But then you have like the extreme right and the extreme left,

86
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:50,360
who are so passionate and so vocal and so like, outlandish in their opinions, legal experts on social

87
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,280
media, prior to the results were saying how like, Oh, yeah, he's probably not going to win, like he's

88
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:59,480
going to win the public opinion. But like proving this defamation case is like incredibly hard to do.

89
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,920
And now that he actually won the case, and even like airing out all this dirty laundry,

90
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,480
and like having his life effectively ruined for like the past five years, and like having his career

91
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,400
completely really like kind of ruined just the past five years. I didn't yeah, I don't know. I'm

92
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:23,400
I'm surprised that there's any support left for Amber. Really, I think like there is a

93
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,720
semblance of truth. Whereas like there are a lot of misogynistic people who will use this as a way to

94
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,840
like attack women in general. But again, I think again, that's like a small, vocal minority, like

95
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:41,000
most people everywhere support Johnny. It's like, I don't know how you could not especially after seeing

96
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,880
everything that happened in the trial. And like, Amber is obviously a liar. And she not only lied under

97
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,320
oath during the trial, she also made up all the claims like, and her testimony was like such a terrible

98
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,840
acting job. It was like her acting coach later came out and said like, Oh, yeah, Amber has always had

99
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,720
trouble crying. And like, that's kind of hilarious. Because it's like, you think as an actor, that would

100
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:09,240
be like one of your main skills, like you'd be able to fake cry on demand. Yeah. But the funny part is

101
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:16,280
like her crying, fake crying is also just so, so bad. It's like not even like, what's she doing?

102
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,120
And she's like wiping away her eyebrows. Like, what are you thinking? Like, oh, this looks like I'm

103
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,400
crying, right? If I'm doing this, or like making such an ugly cry face, but it just like looks so

104
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:34,680
pathetic. Okay, but I think back on the topic of like, you know, all these people still supporting

105
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:42,520
her, like, there is a group of people that will kind of just like, undoubtedly support a specific

106
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,800
party or person, no matter what type of news or evidence comes out against them.

107
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Yeah. And I think they're like, there's actually so there's both of these groups that in this

108
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,040
trial. So like, there are a bunch of men who will unequivocally hate women, regardless of what

109
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,080
happens. And then there's also another group of women that will unequivocally hate men,

110
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,360
regardless of like the results or whatever. And then also, you know, both genders might fall into

111
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:16,920
one or both of these groups somehow. I think the fact that it was like, there was overwhelming

112
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,680
support for Johnny Depp still proves that a majority of the people do look at evidence are normal. So I

113
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:30,520
do think that like, you can't expect the entire population to be radical and like, yeah, I mean,

114
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:36,920
I think I used to hold the thought that like, everyone was a somewhat rational human being and

115
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,360
like with presented with evidence, like irrefutable evidence, they would be willing to change their mind.

116
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,000
But like, time and time again, that's proven to be not the case. Like a bunch of people are just like

117
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,480
irredeemable, regardless of how they got there, regardless of like how they were radicalized or

118
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,480
what brought them to this current state. But they're just like, unwilling to change their opinion,

119
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,560
either because they don't have like the mental capacity or empathy to see another person's point

120
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:08,200
of view, or they're just like have some sort of internal, like, I don't know even what to say,

121
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:15,000
like brain disease. It's like, it's like almost like a mental disease at this point where it's like,

122
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,400
people are so off the rails. And it's, it's crazy, because I feel like it's getting worse. I

123
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,600
don't know if it's getting worse because of social media, because everyone's like

124
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,520
a digital native nowadays. But I don't think it was this bad 10 years ago.

125
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:35,560
probably social media. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been like, exposed to these opinions without social

126
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:44,120
media. But I can't understand if like, a woman was abused by a man in her past, and it's just hurt

127
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:51,480
mentally by, and they hate men. Like I can totally understand their perspective. But if you've never

128
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,680
gone through that yourself, you don't have friends or family that have gone through that. And you just like,

129
00:10:56,680 --> 00:11:02,600
literally want to identify with a group of party and feel like, that belonging that I do think that

130
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,800
that's kind of, like, stupid.

131
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Yeah, I think you're right when you talk about the belonging part. I think that's actually why a lot

132
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,760
of people join causes that they don't really believe in. Like, they just want to feel good about

133
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,000
themselves. They want to feel like they're part of a group. And then they start to kind of lose their

134
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,880
critical thinking skills, or maybe they never had them in the first place. And they'll just adopt the views of

135
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:31,080
that group. And I think that's like, it's kind of sad in a way, because like, people just want to feel

136
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,520
like they belong somewhere. And I guess they'll find this online group, they'll find some sort of like

137
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,240
moral superiority. That's not true activism, you're not actually making a difference. You're just being

138
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,280
like an asshole on the internet, which I think a lot of people confuse with activism these days.

139
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:55,640
So one funny thing that I recently saw online was this Crunchy Cult. Have you heard of that before?

140
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:55,960
No.

141
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:02,360
There are, like, these online groups of moms that push, like, this naturopathic way of,

142
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:08,440
like, raising your children. So it's like, you have to breastfeed, you have to give them, like,

143
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:15,480
essential oils, you have to co-sleep, like, basically a way of life or a way of raising your kids,

144
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,400
but super extreme. And they will, like, mom shame you, if you don't do it the way that they do.

145
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,800
And then on the other spectrum, where they call it silky is, like, if you do everything by science,

146
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:34,200
like, if you, you know, put them into a crib to sleep, and you, like, give them formula or something

147
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:42,600
like that. But, like, I just thought how, how funny it was that, like, people can turn this into a cult.

148
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,120
Yeah, I think people these days, it kind of goes to the common theme of people are lost.

149
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Like, not only are they lost, and they're looking for a group to belong in,

150
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,000
but they also don't even have critical thinking skills. Especially when I see people argue online.

151
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,160
It's like, they're unable to defend their own position if you actually ask them why they believe

152
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,680
what they do. They're able to, like, memorize and parrot other people's thoughts, but when you actually,

153
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:14,920
like, have a conversation, you realize that a lot of people, they don't actually know why they believe,

154
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,480
or they're unable to, like, articulate exactly why they believe what they do.

155
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:26,200
They're able to, like, repeat what they think they should say, and what kind of sounds smart,

156
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,000
but, like, they're actually unable to actually, to just defend their own position.

157
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,160
Which has always probably been true to an extent.

158
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:42,680
Um, I think the average person probably just is not that smart, honestly, but it's not,

159
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:46,680
that's not the only problem. It's not like the average person is not that smart is a terrible

160
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:52,840
thing, but it's that most people are unwilling to change that about themselves. Like, they're unwilling

161
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,760
to learn more, they're unwilling to improve, and they'd rather just complain and blame everyone else,

162
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,520
and make enemies out of whoever's unlike them. As, like, a sort of excuse, saying, like, oh, well,

163
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:10,280
it's not my fault that I'm not successful, or rich, or XYZ. It's because of this other group. It's because

164
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:18,360
of minorities. It's because of women. It's because of, I don't know, like, a religious group. Like, who knows what the excuse is?

165
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,840
It's never their own fault. And I think, like, we talked about this before. There is, like,

166
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,600
a certain level of discrimination and societal, like, imbalance. But, like,

167
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,840
you also have to, like, do things on your own. You can't just expect things to be handed to you,

168
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:36,120
which I actually think a lot of people do expect nowadays. Like, there's a certain level of

169
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,120
responsibility that government and society should owe people to an extent, which I think mostly the US

170
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,880
and Western society definitely provide, and most societies around the world provide. Whereas, like,

171
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,760
the guarantee of safety, for the most part, it's, like, the guarantee of, like, your currency not

172
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,680
being devalued, which I guess is not really true anymore because of inflation. Yeah. That's a pretty,

173
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,920
like, complicated topic, to be honest, because I think what you're trying to say is, like, on one end,

174
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:09,800
a lot of people kind of self-sabotage in a way or self-handicap, and they blame other people

175
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,080
for them not succeeding. Privilege obviously exists. Like, some people are just born

176
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:23,720
in a better position than others, but I think that's not a reason to not try. But a lot of people

177
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,840
will use that as a reason to not try because they're like, "Well, I'm going to try and I'm going to fail

178
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:35,960
anyway." And it's just easier to say that than to try and then fail, or perhaps, like, a very small

179
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:42,120
chance succeed, but they don't want to, like, deal with the potential of failing. Like, that's really

180
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,960
hard to swallow. I think a lot of people are afraid of failure, and, like, obviously, things are not

181
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,320
failed. The world is not fair. Like, the deck is stacked against you, and you should be a realist,

182
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:59,720
and you should accept that as reality. And you should also continue trying to achieve success.

183
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Just because the odds are against you doesn't mean you don't try. And a lot of people these days seem

184
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,200
to have given up. There's, like, the Tang Ping movement in China where people have essentially,

185
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,440
like, given up on the rat race, and they're just kind of getting enough money to, like, scrimp by,

186
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,920
and then just laze around and then make some more money and do it all over again. Or, like,

187
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,960
trying to mooch off their parents or... And the basic, like, philosophy is essentially, like,

188
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,520
"Well, if the odds are stacked against us, why should we even try?" And I'm not, I'm really

189
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,360
not a fan of that. Because, like, the odds have always been stacked against you. It's not like...

190
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,800
Unless you're born very wealthy, and you're in the, like, political and racial and

191
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,760
religious majority of wherever you're born, like... And you can even be born ugly or something, right?

192
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Even if you're born really good looking, that's an obvious advantage. Like, Amber Heard, she was

193
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,320
voted to be, like, at one point the most beautiful woman in the world because of, like, her facial

194
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,600
symmetry, et cetera, et cetera. And, like, I think she's had a cocaine addiction for a very long time

195
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,240
at this point. That's why she looks not as good anymore. And she's also older, of course. But, like,

196
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,920
if she was an ugly person, she would have gotten decimated, like, much more so than she did in the

197
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,920
media. And, like, people were giving Johnny Depp crap because he looks older now. He's, like,

198
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,360
gained some weight. And it's, like, pretty privilege is definitely a thing. Like, if you're an uglier

199
00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:28,360
person, you're just going to get less respect and, like, less goodwill. Yeah.

200
00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:34,440
But, again, it's, like, I think anyone who uses that an excuse to not try is, like, you're only

201
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,560
harming yourself, really. And I don't know. It's kind of sad. I think that a lot of people could

202
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:45,160
really benefit from, like, a growth mindset and just more positivity. And he's super positive about

203
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:52,760
things. Yeah. Well, actually, it depends. Like, we talked about how, like, I'm more positive about

204
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,520
things because I always assume the worst is going to happen. So then when something that's better than

205
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:04,040
the worst happens, I'm just like, oh, great. That's better than what I expected. And Frank is

206
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:09,240
actually an optimist. So he assumes that everything's going to work out. And when it doesn't, then he's

207
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:14,120
like, well, crap. How could that not work out? How could that happen? Doesn't make any sense.

208
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:23,960
Life is tough. And it's, like, mostly really crappy. And I think people need to, like, cope.

209
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,920
And so then they try to put, like, meaning into life. Like, whenever something shitty happens,

210
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,080
they try to, like, put a meaning behind it. But I don't think there's any meaning in life.

211
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,160
Yeah. It's kind of interesting because I think that we have it so good now that we,

212
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:47,000
or a lot of people that live in a developed country can now even ponder, what is the meaning of life?

213
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,200
What's my purpose? Like, what am I supposed to do? Whereas for the majority of mankind's history,

214
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:56,440
people were just trying to survive. They were just trying to have enough food to get by,

215
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,720
have enough resources to continue living. And it's been a very recent development that people have

216
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,920
really started to ponder, like, or at least, like, majority of people. Like, wealthy people have

217
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:12,440
thought about this before, obviously. And then religion, to an extent, has also answered a lot

218
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560
of these questions for, like, oh, well, what should you be doing? What's the meaning of life?

219
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:23,320
And I think the current way I think about it is that, like, everyone's meaning, you, like,

220
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:30,120
pretty much live life to try and discover that. And you can make your own why. So the question is a lot

221
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:35,480
more interesting than the answer, because you live through life, and you find your own answer. And so

222
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,200
it's going to be unique to every individual. For me, I always thought I wanted to start a family.

223
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,000
I've always been very family oriented. There are other people who are focused on other things,

224
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,840
like spirituality, or volunteering. Their career, mostly, I feel like. Yeah, a lot of people focus on their

225
00:19:52,840 --> 00:20:00,760
career, maybe their friendships, maybe individual achievements. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people,

226
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,760
especially in Western countries, have started focusing on their career a lot in the last, like,

227
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:13,080
I don't know how many years. Like, most of my friends now, it's like their self-identity is only

228
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,960
in their career. Like, if they're not doing well in their career, they don't want to start a family,

229
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,800
because they feel like they just, they're not who. Like, they haven't, yeah, they haven't reached their,

230
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,800
like, potential or whatever. Potential yet. Whereas I feel like my whole thing was always to just

231
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:36,120
have a family. Like, that was my goal. So now that I have a family, I feel like I already have pretty

232
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:43,640
much everything that I need. And maybe that's why a lot of people in, like, Eastern countries are,

233
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:50,600
like, like, they feel more fulfilled, because their goals are not really career related. They're more,

234
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,920
like, family oriented. Like, career is a very individualized goal. And especially, they've done

235
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:02,120
a lot of research on happiness and longevity, and what makes someone live for a longer period of time.

236
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,880
And they found a lot of commonalities between different cultures. And one of the main things is

237
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,640
really belongingness towards a community. And so there's, like, an island in Okinawa where there's a

238
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,720
bunch of centennials. Centennials is someone who lives past 100. And they found out that they all had

239
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,160
this, like, group of friends ever since they were little. And it's, like, four or five friends in the,

240
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,040
per group. And they just kind of grow old together. And they have regular contact with each other.

241
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,480
Same thing with people in other cultures. The ones who live really long report happiness because they're

242
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:42,280
part of their church's community. They're deeply ingrained in their local town through religion or

243
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:50,440
volunteering or something else. It's like they remain active. And another common factor was not

244
00:21:50,440 --> 00:22:00,120
eating very much. So the less you eat, the better, essentially. And also daily exercise. So not strenuous

245
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:05,000
exercise. They're not, like, weightlifting or cross-country skiing or anything. But just, like,

246
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,040
walking, gardening. And it's, like, these things seem so simple. And, like, when you actually break

247
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,840
down life, if you have your essentials met and, like, a lot of people are, like, hey, Frank, how do I

248
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,720
become happy? Or, like, how do I get out of this slump or depression or whatever? And it's, like, well,

249
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:27,640
are you eating right? Are you sleeping? Are you drinking water? Are you - do you have, like, friends,

250
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,720
family, people that support you? And if you have those four things, like, and you're still depressed,

251
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,960
maybe you need to see, like, a psychiatrist to see if, like, you have a chemical imbalance in your

252
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,200
brain or whatever. But most people, like, don't even have the basics down. Like, we don't even have the

253
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,600
basics down. Like, we don't exercise regularly enough. Our diet is not the best. It's hard to prioritize when

254
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,640
you have, like, two little kids. Yeah, other obligations. But, again, like, it's, um, what you

255
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,960
prioritize, right? So, if we do prioritize our health over, like, anything else, then...

256
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:05,160
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think, also, like, modern society places too much emphasis on

257
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,880
happiness. People always, like, oh, are you happy? Are you happy? Are you happy? It's, like, well,

258
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:15,640
I think it's better to be at peace and satisfied than it, like, if you're always chasing happiness, happiness

259
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,440
is fleeting. It's, like, you're never going to have a constant rush of dopamine. Like, that's,

260
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,400
that's just not possible. Even if you're doing drugs, your dopamine centers eventually, like,

261
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,720
become weaker and weaker, and you need more and more drugs to continually achieve the same response.

262
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,480
Um, and so, now people are going to, like, dopamine retreats. Like, I'll cut off all internet,

263
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,600
cell phone, use footage, screen time. It's, like, a popular thing in the SF, like, tech crowd. But, um,

264
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:49,480
I think people under value having peace, like, mental peace, peace at home, peace with your family.

265
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:56,120
Like, that's true happiness. When you don't have to worry about all these things that are stressing

266
00:23:56,120 --> 00:24:02,120
you out, and your just daily interactions with the people that you love, like, your family,

267
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:07,400
your friends. Because that's what life is, really, at the end of the day. It's just hanging out and,

268
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:13,960
like, these small interactions every day. That's life. This is what we got. Yeah. And when I met Frank,

269
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,280
one time we were going to Big Sur and we were, I was driving like a crazy person because I wanted to

270
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,920
get to Big Sur before sundown. Like, we left pretty late and it was, like, a long drive.

271
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:30,120
And then I saw the sunset and so I, like, stopped at the side of the road and I'm like, Frank, get off the

272
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:35,720
car. Like, let's take a sun, like, a photo with the sun. And then we took a photo and I immediately,

273
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,760
like, shoved him back into the car and, like, started driving again. And he was like, what is

274
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:46,920
wrong with you? And he actually got pretty upset. He was like, I don't understand, like, why you were

275
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,800
like that. Like, we had just met at that point so he didn't really know me that well. And he was

276
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,280
extremely upset because we didn't get a good picture. I was like, the sun was down. I thought the picture

277
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,320
was fine myself. No, you can't see anything. Like, if you've seen photos of Big Sur online, like,

278
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,760
it's beautiful and that was the type of photo that I wanted to get. It was pitch black by the time we

279
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,120
got there. And then, so Frank was like, honestly, like, it doesn't matter what we see as long as

280
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:17,320
we're together and we're enjoying the time we spend with each other. Like, who cares? Like, you didn't

281
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,880
even want to see the sunset as it was setting. You literally took a photo, you didn't watch the sunset,

282
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:28,840
and then you spent the next like 20 minutes driving. So like, yeah. And I think that was like the moment

283
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:35,560
where like, I literally had a shift and I started using Instagram less and less and less. And like,

284
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:43,080
it's almost like the more that I enjoyed living in the moment, the less I enjoyed going on Instagram.

285
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:50,680
And it's almost like social media is a way for us to like fill this void that we have in ourselves.

286
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:57,640
And like, we're trying to show this really happy side of us and like, look at what a great life I'm

287
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:03,720
living because I'm not living a great life. But I, yeah, I don't know. It's like, am I making sense?

288
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,760
Yeah. I think it also depends on the social media platform because Instagram is definitely like the

289
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:14,600
picture perfect. Let's Photoshop it, make it perfect. And before I feel like it was more scandalous to

290
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,360
actually Photoshop your pictures. And if people found out, they would like call you out, but now it's just

291
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:24,040
normal. Like everyone photoshops their pictures because that's what people on Instagram do. Like Kim

292
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:31,160
Kardashian has an entire team that photoshops her pictures for to make them perfect. And I think that is

293
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,760
extremely toxic and Facebook, Facebook products, essentially, they're all kind of try to show off

294
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:42,120
this like fake persona of like, Hey, I'm living the perfect life. I'm going to all these fun events.

295
00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:47,480
I'm having the time of my life. Whereas like TikTok is way more organic. Like you still obviously see

296
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,880
that there's people who are trying to show off, but there's tons more of people who are like trying

297
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:58,680
to teach, trying to be like just normal. Like obviously my production quality is super low. It's not

298
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:05,960
like I do anything. And I think that like the key difference between like TikTok and something like

299
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Instagram or Facebook or Twitter is that after I'm on TikTok and I'm scrolling through, I'll be like,

300
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,040
Oh, that was fun. Like that hour went by. I learned some cool stuff. I saw some funny things. I saw some

301
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,640
interesting things. And compared to like Instagram or Twitter, I'll be like, wow, like I feel more

302
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:29,480
more angry about the state of the world or just like my mood will be worse. And so I think the same thing

303
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:35,400
with YouTube, like YouTube is pretty good, except the amount of content on YouTube, like

304
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,000
their discovery and algorithm, I feel like is inferior to TikToks. It's hard for me to discover new stuff.

305
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Like I'm always finding new creators who have really good videos, but it doesn't show up in my feed.

306
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,520
Like I'll have to like see it through like a Reddit thread or maybe like a TikTok or Twitter or

307
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,960
somewhere else where they'll be like, Oh yeah, this creator, like make really good stuff. You should

308
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,000
check out this video. And I'll look at it. I'm like, Oh wow, that was really good. And they'll have

309
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,960
millions of subs, but it's like, I've never seen any of their stuff organically. And there's like no

310
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:08,680
way I would have through YouTube. Yeah. We're waiting for our McDonald's order. So let's start with

311
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,680
what annoys me about Frank. It annoys me that every single time I get McDonald's,

312
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:21,480
he always complains about how expensive it is. It's so expensive. Just let me. So our McDonald's

313
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:29,560
meal was $28 for the same price. We could have had like two whole Costco pizzas. I over ordered,

314
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:38,680
I ordered two spicy McChickens, a cone, and I'm, I want his meal. So yeah, I got a 10 piece McNugget and a

315
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:46,120
McDouble, and then she turned the McNuggets into a meal. Yeah. So it could have been like $22.

316
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,560
But my point is, just let me enjoy my $5 McChicken. Thank you.

317
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:59,000
McChickens are not worth $5. Every time, like literally every single, every single time.

318
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:08,520
I'm shocked by how expensive. And the fact that like, it's like, we spend way more money on other

319
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,000
types of food, like stop complaining about freaking McDonald's. Yeah, because it's more worth it.

320
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,720
McDonald's is a fast food place. It's supposed to be cheap. What else do you complain about? But then,

321
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,360
he'll be like, oh, look at the casino across the street, all in black.

322
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:31,320
Seriously, this thing just looks sad. Like, how much does this cost? I ordered two McChickens,

323
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,840
so you can have one. All right, this McDouble was $3. You can have one of my McChickens.

324
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:46,280
No, I'm good. See what a really sweet wife I am. Yeah. We crossed the border. So we went to a

325
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,320
Canadian McDonald's when we should have tried American McDonald's. I wonder if the prices there are

326
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,000
ludicrous, like they are here. Yeah. Something that annoys me about Annie, even though I've showed

327
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:04,520
her how to do it a million times. She never properly opens any bag. And just trying to like shove,

328
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:09,560
see how this is like stuck in the middle of the bag? Yeah. She didn't bother to open it. It takes

329
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:17,320
two seconds to like... Yeah, I do do that. He has mentioned this before.

330
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,760
Would you stay in Canada for the rest of your life or move somewhere else?

331
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,240
I mean, do you want me to answer or are you going to answer? No, you can start.

332
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,800
Realistically, we'll probably stay in Canada unless there's like an

333
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:39,240
amazing opportunity somewhere else. Yeah, because my family's in Canada, obviously.

334
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,800
Was that obvious? Do people know that? Yeah, I think we've said that multiple times.

335
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:52,600
I enjoy being close to my parents and hopefully Frank's parents might move to the west coast

336
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:58,680
in the future so that everyone will be kind of close together. And then I feel like the only reason

337
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:05,400
we would go back is if we ever had to move for Frank's work, which we don't have to worry about

338
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:11,000
right now. Better place to live, U.S. or Canada? It's easier to make money in the States.

339
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,600
There's way less people in general in Canada. Yeah, I guess if you're more career focused,

340
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,480
the U.S. is a better place to be. If you're more like family focused, there are places in the U.S. with

341
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:28,280
really low cost of living are safe and have a lot of buses. I've only lived in Vancouver and for the U.S.

342
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,360
I've lived kind of all over in the Midwest, East Coast, West Coast. The U.S. is an incredibly diverse

343
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:40,040
place. It's hard to generalize it as one country because each individual state has its own culture

344
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,760
and can be very drastically different. So as a similar question, where would I live if I could only

345
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,480
pick one country? I would pick the United States because there's so many different cultures to

346
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:55,960
experience and geography and natural beauty. Yeah, Vancouver is great to retire, but like for a young

347
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:01,960
person, if you're going to be in Canada, you should at least be in Toronto. Yeah, there's more job

348
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:07,160
opportunities in the Toronto area. I would say that Canada is really diverse too, though, in terms of

349
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:15,000
like culture. It's a lot of immigrants. Yeah, a lot of immigrants. Vancouver is pretty much like a mini Asia.

350
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,720
What are my thoughts on retroactive jealousy? Which I googled, I had to google that. Like jealousy towards

351
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:29,560
your previous or exes, ex-girlfriends or boyfriends. Funny story, I still do not know how many girlfriends

352
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:35,320
Frank has had in the past because he refuses to tell me. Because I'm a very jealous person, I will

353
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:41,880
probably not handle that well. It could go two ways. He's had significantly more girlfriends than I've

354
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:49,080
had. Then I'd be like, very upset. And then the other scenario would be he's had less girlfriends than

355
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:56,440
I've had boyfriends. In that case, I will probably be like, ha ha ha, look at me. Like so much more

356
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,040
experienced than you are. And so, and because he hasn't told me, I haven't told him either. I mean,

357
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:08,600
Annie kind of knows because like... I know individual people. I know a few. Like you've had

358
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:15,080
probably at least like four. But like, that doesn't tell me anything. Yeah, I mean, it's like before we

359
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,680
started dating, when we were just friends, we would talk about like our relationships and stuff. So it's

360
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,600
not like she doesn't know anything. It's just that she doesn't know the full picture. Very dangerous.

361
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:29,160
If you meet someone and that you're slightly interested in them to become a significant other

362
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:34,520
in the future, do not tell them anything about your previous relationships because they'll remember

363
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,320
that. No, I think it's fine. It's just that like, it depends on how jealous your partner is. Like

364
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:48,280
one time, I don't know if this is too much to share, but so when Frank and I first met, there was another

365
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,440
guy that asked me out. We knew each other from college and he was also in San Francisco and I just

366
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,560
moved to San Francisco. So he was like, why don't we catch up? And Frank and I had actually just gotten

367
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:08,680
into a relationship and I basically didn't cancel that catch up. So I was like, well, it's a catch up

368
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:18,840
with a guy. And so I went anyway. But then, but then obviously, I got there and he wanted more than

369
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,040
just a catch up. And so I quickly left. And so when I got home, Frank was like, why did you come home

370
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:29,240
so, so quickly? I was like, oh, it was like not a catch up. Like he was interested in more than a

371
00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:34,760
catch up. But he's like, well, I kind of expected that. I just didn't want to say anything. And years

372
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:44,200
later, another friend came to Chicago to visit and was like, oh, oh, like, do you want to hang out?

373
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:50,120
I was like, oh yeah, my friend, like the guy from air that works at Airbnb and Frank got so pissed,

374
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,640
but he got confused. Like the other guy was worked at Facebook. I thought it was the other guy.

375
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:59,640
Yeah. And then when I said Airbnb, Frank was just like, are you kidding me? And so I didn't meet up

376
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,920
with that guy. But like later, we found out that he thought it was a different guy.

377
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:10,360
Yeah. Sorry, random other guy. Got you mixed up. When my TikTok was blowing up. So when I first started,

378
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:16,520
I was getting so many messages per day and Annie would read every single one of them. And if I responded to

379
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,000
one girl too often, she'd be like, wait, who's this girl on LinkedIn? Why are you talking to her?

380
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,840
I'll be like, I'm just answering these random questions. I will go on his LinkedIn and read

381
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,760
all the messages because it's like also new and exciting. And if I see, I will only look at messages

382
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:35,800
with girls. I just skip over the messages with guys. And typically it's a very like simple exchange.

383
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,080
They ask like, hey, we'd love to like have a one-on-one session with you. And Frank usually answers like,

384
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:47,000
no, I'm too busy. But like, there are a few girls that would be like, have a lot of follow-up

385
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:55,000
questions, like a lot to the point where it's like, okay, you have to prevent things from happening.

386
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:02,600
So like, Frank doesn't even like register. He's just so like oblivious. Oh, one time,

387
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,480
I don't know if we told the story. I don't think so. My friend Cherry and Sarah came to stay with

388
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,080
us in San Jose. They stayed for like two weeks. I was supposed to go up with Cherry and Sarah to

389
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:18,040
San Francisco. Frank didn't want to make the road trip. So he was going to stay home. But last minute,

390
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:24,120
Sarah was like, I am going to stay home because I have work to do. And I was like, there's no way that

391
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:30,760
Frank and my friend Sarah is going to be in left in the same apartment at the same time for a day.

392
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:38,680
So I made Frank go up to San Francisco for me with me. There was 0.0001% chance that they were going

393
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:45,960
to hook up or do anything. But I'm very extra. No trust. No, babe. It's not that I don't trust you.

394
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:52,200
I don't trust other people. And it's not that I don't trust Sarah either. But like, you just cannot

395
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:58,760
let there be any room for accidents to happen. I'm very extra. I'm going to lose so many followers

396
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:03,480
after this podcast. I don't think anyone's going to care. People are going to be like, oh my god,

397
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:12,280
it's crazy. I mean, you are crazy though. Just showing them your true self. Yeah, Frank always says

398
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:19,720
if he has like a hidden camera that recorded me, then people... Yeah, people don't realize the extent

399
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:27,960
of Annie's craziness. Are you sure you don't want my McChicken? I mean, I'll eat half if you don't

400
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:33,080
want it, but otherwise you should just eat it. He'll always be like, I'll eat whatever you don't eat.

401
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,680
So then I'll have to pretend that I'm full and be like, oh, I'm going to throw it away if you don't

402
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,840
eat it. And then he'll be like, okay, I'll eat it. That's not true. You throw away ice cream

403
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,560
all the time. He's also really bad at ordering food for himself. So he'll always order food that he

404
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:53,400
doesn't like or he'll order food that like too little food. So now I'll always have to give him

405
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:59,400
my food or switch my food with him because whenever he orders something that I'm like, he's not gonna

406
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,400
like it. I'll always order something on the menu that I know that he'll like. So we'll always switch.

407
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:12,520
I'm amazing. That's why you married me. Would you guys ever live abroad? China, Japan, Asia in

408
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:18,040
particular? It would definitely be China because we have relatives there. It'd be pretty hard to live

409
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:23,720
anywhere else, especially because most Asian countries make it very hard for you to own property

410
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:29,320
or even like rent places if you're not a citizen there. China as well. But because we have relatives

411
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:37,160
in China, at least we would have a place to stay and we're ethnically Chinese. So I in particular will

412
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:45,560
never live in Europe because I just, I can't like live the way that they they live. Every Sunday,

413
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:51,800
every single store is closed and like no hate, but it's most countries are very inefficient. Like

414
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:57,000
they're just slow at doing everything. I've never been to Europe. Yeah, we need to go to Europe.

415
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Europe is fun to visit, but it's really hard to live for a long time. Like for the rest of my life,

416
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:08,680
like no, I can't. Which Gen 1 Pokemon starter he would choose and why? I'm going to say that you will

417
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:17,800
choose Charmander. So it depends actually. When I was younger, I always chose Squirtle because Squirtle has

418
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:25,480
the best stats as Blastoise. And so like the very, basically Pokemon never had an official difficulty

419
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:31,800
level, but Bulbasaur was essentially for like the easiest level. Squirtle was medium and Charmander

420
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:37,880
was hard because Charmander, it'd be difficult to defeat the first two gym leaders, which fire types

421
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:43,720
were ineffective towards. Whereas Bulbasaur was effective against both of the, both of the first two.

422
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:49,160
And Squirtle was effective against the first one. And it was neutral towards the second one.

423
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:54,760
As I grew older, I don't know at which point I actually switched to Charmander. And that was

424
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,480
mostly just because I thought Charizard was really cool. The anime really highlights Charizard as like

425
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:05,240
one of the strongest Pokemon. And in the movies, Charizard is really highlighted. Whereas Blastoise is

426
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:12,360
Gary's Pokemon. And like, no one really likes Gary. He's like a jerk in the anime. Eventually becomes a

427
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:18,920
researcher, like doesn't even become champion or anything. And so yeah, I think the anime had a

428
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:25,480
large part to do with like why I eventually liked Charizard more and thus Charmander. But originally,

429
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,840
I like Squirtle a whole lot. I never liked Bulbasaur. I thought he was like...

430
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,320
Let's end this. We're going to drive home soon.

431
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:38,040
Thanks for watching the Frankly Speaking Podcast. Hope to see all of you again very soon. Bye.
