- 0:05Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Steff.
- 0:07Speaker 1: I never told you, protection I heard you.
- 0:18Speaker 2: And welcome to Is this the last happy hour of
- 0:20Speaker 2: the year.
- 0:22Speaker 1: I think it's the first happy hour of the new year,
- 0:24Speaker 1: is it. Yeah?
- 0:30Speaker 3: Because I'm a little behind on things, I decided for
- 0:33Speaker 3: this happy hour, we're gonna do something where I'm just
- 0:37Speaker 3: gonna rate things. Okay, yeah, but before we start, this
- 0:42Speaker 3: is a happy hour. So if you choose to participate
- 0:46Speaker 3: with an adult beverage or whatnot, just do so responsibly. Annie,
- 0:50Speaker 3: are you participating with an adult beverage?
- 0:54Speaker 1: Which I'm trying to listeners.
- 0:57Speaker 4: We're recording a lot at the end of the year.
- 1:00Speaker 4: I'm still working on my cokao.
- 1:02Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:02Speaker 3: Well the cocaino the recipes that usually send is a
- 1:05Speaker 3: batch so that.
- 1:06Speaker 1: You can share.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I did share some. I gave away probably half of
- 1:10Speaker 4: it last night. Wow, I still have a decent amount, and.
- 1:15Speaker 5: I really have to get a giant cup of it.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I need to get rid of it because it's taking
- 1:20Speaker 1: up a lot of space and refrigerator and as you know,
- 1:22Speaker 1: that's that's real estate I need.
- 1:26Speaker 5: We do have this, especially to thinking about a smaller refrigerator. Now, yes, well,
- 1:30Speaker 5: I am keeping it simple.
- 1:32Speaker 3: As as Andy just mentioned, we are recording a lot,
- 1:35Speaker 3: so therefore I got to be on my A game.
- 1:37Speaker 3: I am drinking my sparkling water bubble water because I
- 1:40Speaker 3: think they're refreshing. I'm waiting for the report to come
- 1:43Speaker 3: out that they're not good for you, and I hope
- 1:44Speaker 3: they don't, but you know, I enjoy it. But today,
- 1:49Speaker 3: so all of these things that I'm talking about, they
- 1:51Speaker 3: are not sponsored, and I will give you an honest
- 1:54Speaker 3: review no matter what, because I decided I've been really
- 1:58Speaker 3: in the TikTok all those things, and so there are
- 2:02Speaker 3: a lot of viral things that have gone around and
- 2:05Speaker 3: trended that I'm like, I'm gonna try that because I'm
- 2:08Speaker 3: a sucker. Anie, I'm a sucker. But so I thought
- 2:14Speaker 3: i'd talk about a few of the things that I've tried,
- 2:16Speaker 3: including the foods, the products, the doggies, Dove Okay, oh yeah,
- 2:21Speaker 3: oh yeah, I've done it. Is I mean, it's just
- 2:25Speaker 3: a hipper version of a scene on TV.
- 2:27Speaker 5: That's what I've decided, these things.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 2:31Speaker 4: I have to say I'm not on TikTok, but over
- 2:35Speaker 4: on Savor, we have done already at this point, but
- 2:39Speaker 4: have not yet done as I'm currently speaking an episode
- 2:43Speaker 4: on holiday marketing, and at the end we just did
- 2:45Speaker 4: food trends and I was looking through like TikTok's food
- 2:49Speaker 4: trends and I was like, this is interesting, Yeah, some
- 2:54Speaker 4: interesting things in here, and.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We should put this with a caveat, and I'm sure
- 2:59Speaker 3: I'll mention it and talk about it throughout this about
- 3:02Speaker 3: appropriation when it comes to food, when it comes to style,
- 3:05Speaker 3: when it comes to design and making money, may the
- 3:10Speaker 3: appropriation is awful. We're not going to get into that,
- 3:14Speaker 3: but there is a lot of appropriation. We will talk
- 3:16Speaker 3: a little.
- 3:17Speaker 5: Bit about that.
- 3:18Speaker 3: The same is like when you talk about appropriation versus appreciation,
- 3:24Speaker 3: and that's okay, but it's all about where the money
- 3:27Speaker 3: is going and who is claiming to do and invented
- 3:30Speaker 3: or made things up. Like that's the conversation. So we're
- 3:35Speaker 3: not necessarily going to go into that. But some of
- 3:37Speaker 3: these things could be on the line, you know, like
- 3:39Speaker 3: they're like especially who did it and what they're trying
- 3:42Speaker 3: to market it as.
- 3:44Speaker 5: But so I thought i'd jump in with food.
- 3:46Speaker 3: And I was thinking of this because just recently I
- 3:49Speaker 3: bought the peaches and mango Japanese ice creams.
- 3:53Speaker 5: You know what I'm talking about. Annie.
- 3:55Speaker 3: They are in the shape of a mango or a peach,
- 3:59Speaker 3: and they're very pretty. They are pretty pretty pretty. People
- 4:03Speaker 3: have been traveling all the h marts. I've seen different
- 4:08Speaker 3: influencers trying to find these ice cream because they're like,
- 4:10Speaker 3: is it as good as they say?
- 4:12Speaker 5: And ya, it is. It is.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I didn't know what I was getting into, but it
- 4:16Speaker 3: is creamy and tasty in the outer shell, like it's yummy.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Friend of show Katie, who you just recently talked about,
- 4:24Speaker 3: and as in fact, I believe this is the one
- 4:25Speaker 3: you gave too.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Yes, I think you tried the peach.
- 4:28Speaker 5: I tried.
- 4:29Speaker 3: I told her to try both because we had both
- 4:31Speaker 3: the mango and the peach, because they were so they
- 4:33Speaker 3: were missing. People were so into them. They are delicious.
- 4:38Speaker 3: If you can find in h MAR and find these
- 4:41Speaker 3: and I don't know the names of them, but they
- 4:42Speaker 3: were in pretty packaging and they look exactly like those fruits.
- 4:47Speaker 5: It's tasty.
- 4:48Speaker 3: So if you like ice cream, you like that fruitiness,
- 4:51Speaker 3: but not too much, this is the one.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Go for it.
- 4:54Speaker 3: They are fairly pricey, though, I think you buy it
- 4:57Speaker 3: for the art. They're pretty so i'll give that the
- 5:02Speaker 3: thumbs up. On my scale, I need to give it
- 5:04Speaker 3: like scale meeting. So from one detail sales always everywhere. Yeah,
- 5:08Speaker 3: I love mixing it about, but we'll say from one
- 5:11Speaker 3: to ten, I'm giving it an eight.
- 5:14Speaker 5: Oh, it's pretty high.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Then there's the boldo and that in itself is not
- 5:20Speaker 3: necessarily new, as in fact, it's been around, but people
- 5:23Speaker 3: have really discovered it since social media has come on
- 5:27Speaker 3: to it, and it became a challenge to the fact
- 5:29Speaker 3: that some countries have banded saying that it's toxic. Whatever
- 5:32Speaker 3: you do, you it is spicy, and even I who
- 5:36Speaker 3: love spicy have to like cut down the packet because
- 5:39Speaker 3: it's too spicy, Like my face melts. And I love
- 5:43Speaker 3: it and I hate it at the same time. But
- 5:45Speaker 3: within those, of course, you have people who come out
- 5:48Speaker 3: doing different types and making it differently. The version with
- 5:52Speaker 3: the carbonara in which they add milk and eggs and
- 5:56Speaker 3: cheese it's probably my favorite, and I think it's delicious.
- 6:00Speaker 3: And then if you want to go all Korean with
- 6:01Speaker 3: it with the douki and putting some green onions on it,
- 6:05Speaker 3: you go for it because it's even better. But I
- 6:09Speaker 3: love it. I don't eat it all the time because
- 6:10Speaker 3: it is a whole like endeavor. But I will give
- 6:15Speaker 3: this a seven. If you like hot things, go for it.
- 6:19Speaker 3: If you don't, don't do it. If you're let us intolerant,
- 6:22Speaker 3: don't do it. If you're gluten intolerant, don't do it.
- 6:26Speaker 3: But all that is yummy, then we have with that
- 6:29Speaker 3: same level. They did a Ramen trend that you add
- 6:31Speaker 3: peanut butter and ginger all too, and everybody's.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Like, this is a like a uh pat tie. I
- 6:37Speaker 5: don't like peanut butter and savory foods, so I did
- 6:41Speaker 5: not like this at all. I give this a three.
- 6:43Speaker 5: But my partner would give it an eight.
- 6:46Speaker 3: He really he loves it and he will try to
- 6:48Speaker 3: add it to everything, and I'm like, don't touch mine.
- 6:50Speaker 5: I will kill you.
- 6:53Speaker 3: But if you want to try this that you can
- 6:54Speaker 3: find this on social media as well. The gingerrale really
- 6:57Speaker 3: threw me off. I didn't know what was happening, but
- 6:59Speaker 3: people seem to really loved that. How did y'all talk
- 7:01Speaker 3: about this trend?
- 7:02Speaker 4: A lot of these make me feel a little, but
- 7:06Speaker 4: I think they were I think, to be fair, I
- 7:09Speaker 4: think this was a lot of like, you know, at
- 7:11Speaker 4: the end of the year, when it's trends, we should
- 7:15Speaker 4: say goodbye to we had trends, we should say hello too.
- 7:17Speaker 4: I think it was part of that list. But also
- 7:19Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not judging. I'm not judging. I'm not
- 7:22Speaker 4: big on judging people for food. It's just when I
- 7:25Speaker 4: look at it, I'm like, oh, I would not like
- 7:27Speaker 4: any of this.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Yeah, but because most of it is like sweets, and
- 7:32Speaker 1: I'm just not that into sweets.
- 7:33Speaker 6: That's right.
- 7:34Speaker 5: Yeah, those people I know, I know we make it,
- 7:38Speaker 5: take a bite and then I thrust, So we're actually
- 7:40Speaker 5: a good partner.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 3: And then we have one that we have spread to
- 7:46Speaker 3: my partner family. They love it. They're addicted to it.
- 7:48Speaker 3: They share it with others. Which is like a frosted coffee.
- 7:52Speaker 3: But you use instant coffee with it, and there is
- 7:54Speaker 3: a name for it, and I can't remember it.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Maybe uh thing, I don't know. Someone will have to
- 8:02Speaker 5: tell me.
- 8:02Speaker 3: But essentially, you just froth instant coffee with water and
- 8:07Speaker 3: boiling water and some sugar or flavoring, and then after
- 8:12Speaker 3: you froth it really well and it's just like a
- 8:14Speaker 3: big foam. You add whatever creamer or milk you want
- 8:17Speaker 3: to it with lots of ice, and.
- 8:19Speaker 5: There you go, and that's it, and everybody loves it.
- 8:22Speaker 5: Is delicious.
- 8:23Speaker 3: It got us to buy more instant coffee because of it.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And so to the point, I'm like, I can't drink
- 8:29Speaker 3: this after two and I keep trying to.
- 8:32Speaker 5: I gotta stop this.
- 8:33Speaker 3: But it tastes an amazing like Starbucks whatever you know
- 8:37Speaker 3: drinks those sweet drinks.
- 8:38Speaker 5: So do you ever need that? Then I'll let you
- 8:42Speaker 5: know what the dog So this is last year'strand and
- 8:54Speaker 5: I have stolen it.
- 8:56Speaker 3: This black creator came on and taught us how to
- 8:59Speaker 3: make corn bread with the Jeffy cornbread with lots of
- 9:02Speaker 3: lots of butter and lots of lots of cream, and yes,
- 9:08Speaker 3: this is the one. Like I could just eat that
- 9:10Speaker 3: all day. And I actually took it around to like
- 9:12Speaker 3: friends giving. I actually made this.
- 9:14Speaker 5: They ate it all. Is that good? Is that good?
- 9:19Speaker 3: And then there's the Korean peanut butter cucumber salad. So
- 9:23Speaker 3: essentially there is a creator named Logan who is a
- 9:27Speaker 3: white dude who is just like he doesn't speak, but
- 9:29Speaker 3: all he does is Korean recipes essentially, and he gets
- 9:32Speaker 3: credited for that he doesn't try to take credit and
- 9:35Speaker 3: he gives like he gives credit to the Korean cultures
- 9:38Speaker 3: and how he actually speaks fluent Korean as well, and
- 9:40Speaker 3: like seems way more Korean than me. But like everybody's
- 9:44Speaker 3: loving him and his stuff and not recognizing what it is.
- 9:48Speaker 3: So it kind of was like, we get what you're doing,
- 9:51Speaker 3: but it can become quickly problematic if you're not careful.
- 9:54Speaker 3: But again, my partner, loving peanut butter and cucumbers, did
- 9:58Speaker 3: this and loved it, ate the entire bowl that he
- 10:01Speaker 3: made within the like one time when when sitting I.
- 10:04Speaker 5: Don't like peanut butter. It really bothers me.
- 10:06Speaker 3: It really bothers me, and most Asian people would I
- 10:10Speaker 3: would note that probably don't necessarily not like peanut butter,
- 10:13Speaker 3: but don't eat a lot of peanut butter. So like
- 10:15Speaker 3: that's kind of a foreign thing. I've discovered most people
- 10:18Speaker 3: who come to the US who are not from the
- 10:20Speaker 3: US are like, what is this? And it takes a
- 10:22Speaker 3: little time to get used to.
- 10:24Speaker 5: That's it's not the.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Way from me, but anyway, apparently love people loved it.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Next on the list was a Sojiu cocktail, which again
- 10:30Speaker 3: I'm made for Katie. Katie is just kind of like
- 10:32Speaker 3: my guinea pig. Apparently in some of these things, you
- 10:34Speaker 3: are too. But and I made the soju cocktail, which
- 10:39Speaker 3: is not new, which is not new, It.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Is in Korea. It is based in Korea.
- 10:42Speaker 3: They use their yogurts, if you know what I'm talking about,
- 10:45Speaker 3: yogurt drinks, and they mix it up with that and
- 10:48Speaker 3: a little bit of carbonation and it's a delightful cocktail
- 10:51Speaker 3: and it's not high alcohol, but it does a.
- 10:52Speaker 5: Lot of sugar. You're not careful, but it's.
- 10:55Speaker 3: Delicious and I will sip on it every now and again.
- 10:58Speaker 3: But yeah, so those are some of the trend that
- 11:00Speaker 3: I've tried. And I did not give it any readings
- 11:02Speaker 3: outside of the two, did I? Your readings are all
- 11:06Speaker 3: over so yeah, true, it's just good. So I will
- 11:08Speaker 3: tell you the things that I've mentioned. I would tell
- 11:10Speaker 3: you to try the ice cream, the bulldlock creamy version.
- 11:13Speaker 3: If you are not of all the things that I
- 11:15Speaker 3: told you you weren't, you don't need you can't be
- 11:17Speaker 3: the frosted coffee, the cornbread, and the sodiu cocktails if
- 11:21Speaker 3: you're of age, the peanut butter stuff I can do
- 11:24Speaker 3: with it, and there's so much more with the food obviously,
- 11:27Speaker 3: and they's just sharing of the recipes and I love
- 11:30Speaker 3: the fact that this is happening. We need to come back.
- 11:34Speaker 3: I think we did do an episode about cookbooks. Didn't
- 11:37Speaker 3: we about the storytelling cookbooks? Or was that something I
- 11:40Speaker 3: was thinking about and I didn't never do it.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I don't think we ever did it. Oh man, we
- 11:45Speaker 1: talked about.
- 11:46Speaker 3: It, okay, Yeah, because I feel like that's where like
- 11:50Speaker 3: some of the most amazing videos happen, and some of
- 11:53Speaker 3: the most successful and influential people come from cooking trends
- 11:57Speaker 3: or cooking videos. So I think we we need to
- 12:00Speaker 3: come back and talk about it a little more. I
- 12:02Speaker 3: kind of forgot about that one. There are so many
- 12:05Speaker 3: other trends and I just want to highlight a few
- 12:07Speaker 3: that I'm like, Yeah, I did this and I liked it,
- 12:09Speaker 3: including Korean makeup. There's a company called Tier tier that
- 12:12Speaker 3: originally released this stuff in Japan but is a Korean company.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Tier two went through a whole revolution essentially because they
- 12:21Speaker 3: offered about four colors for skin tones and they were
- 12:25Speaker 3: all very light skin so not surprisingly, and then after
- 12:28Speaker 3: being called out by several Black creators.
- 12:30Speaker 5: They started expanding.
- 12:31Speaker 3: Very quickly, very quickly, a little too much to the
- 12:35Speaker 3: fact that they could not get the exact tones. And
- 12:37Speaker 3: I will say even for myself, they were not exact tones.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Hard to try because again hard you can't tell just
- 12:44Speaker 3: by looking at it a computer, the filters and such.
- 12:47Speaker 5: But I did buy a couple.
- 12:48Speaker 2: And I really actually do like them.
- 12:50Speaker 5: You just have to be careful.
- 12:52Speaker 3: And the cushion foundation, I feel like, has been the
- 12:56Speaker 3: latest in the last two years. So if you know
- 12:58Speaker 3: anything about makeup, this is something different. It's based on
- 13:03Speaker 3: how much coverage youth.
- 13:05Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't know.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I had to bring my niece in at one point
- 13:07Speaker 3: and be like, tell me how to do my makeup
- 13:09Speaker 3: because I'm pretty sure this is not right.
- 13:11Speaker 5: She helped a lot. She's a makeup artist, so she
- 13:14Speaker 5: helped a lot. Thank you. Shout out to her.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Things that did not like in Korean skincare, Snell musin No,
- 13:21Speaker 3: why did I fall for this?
- 13:23Speaker 5: Ain't he you were.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Trying new things?
- 13:26Speaker 5: I was.
- 13:27Speaker 3: I was trying to This is why I think I
- 13:30Speaker 3: traumatized by that movie. Anyway, we'll come back to that.
- 13:34Speaker 3: I'm sure sunscreens there I do, I will give it
- 13:38Speaker 3: amazing conversation and that they're opening up the door and like, hey,
- 13:42Speaker 3: sunscreen is really.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Good for you.
- 13:43Speaker 5: You need it. Everybody needs it.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Of course, that comes to the colorism that happens in
- 13:48Speaker 3: Korean culture that we need to talk about too, because
- 13:49Speaker 3: a lot of it has whitening. Yeah, no, thank you,
- 13:53Speaker 3: but they're trying to stay away from that. Of Olive
- 13:57Speaker 3: Young is a huge Korean company that has now read
- 14:00Speaker 3: internationally and people are loving them. I think they and
- 14:04Speaker 3: themselves are a trend. It is nice, like their stuff
- 14:09Speaker 3: is cheaper, but I don't know why, and I'm weary,
- 14:12Speaker 3: which is not good. But because you know, like it
- 14:17Speaker 3: shouldn't have to be costly. All that is say, don't
- 14:20Speaker 3: do the snow newsing.
- 14:21Speaker 5: This's is zero on my scale. Yes, without whitener hair products, you.
- 14:25Speaker 3: Know, I'll try to the rosemary oil. Maybe I just
- 14:28Speaker 3: didn't do it long enough and my hair's just super greasy.
- 14:32Speaker 3: It smelled nice, It smelled nice any but anyway, but
- 14:38Speaker 3: but the TikTok's the one who told me to do it,
- 14:41Speaker 3: and I don't know if I did it, but a
- 14:42Speaker 3: thing that I did do that I do not regret.
- 14:45Speaker 5: And I love doggy crocs.
- 14:50Speaker 3: I bought Peaches some crocs essentially, so they're essentially her
- 14:54Speaker 3: swimming shoes.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Because I've talked about this before.
- 14:56Speaker 3: I think where she gets her popads get do really
- 15:00Speaker 3: help badly.
- 15:01Speaker 5: And she loves to swim so much.
- 15:02Speaker 3: At the bottom of the pool, like there's a little
- 15:04Speaker 3: shallow in where she jumps off into the water and
- 15:07Speaker 3: it's scraped it up. It scraped up her paws really badly.
- 15:11Speaker 3: So she has to have shoes or she's bleeding. And
- 15:13Speaker 3: I don't whatever her. And so we took the like
- 15:16Speaker 3: a lot of hit and miss of trying to find socks.
- 15:18Speaker 3: I have videos of peaches and socks, Peaches in balloon shoes,
- 15:22Speaker 3: Peaches in like rain shoes, and now crocs, and y'all
- 15:25Speaker 3: they are the cutest thing in the world.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Ten ten if you can find them.
- 15:34Speaker 6: She hates them, but you gotta yes zero She would
- 15:44Speaker 6: give it a negative three, throw it to hell out
- 15:47Speaker 6: of ten, thank you very much.
- 15:51Speaker 3: But yeah, so some of those stick doc trins. Okay,
- 15:54Speaker 3: I you got me, you got me, I will say.
- 15:58Speaker 3: I think my partner buys more so from TikTok shop
- 16:02Speaker 3: then Amazon. He doesn't buy a lot, but I'm like,
- 16:04Speaker 3: oh no, he bought me a fuzzy Highland cow because
- 16:11Speaker 3: I want one. I want a real one, which doesn't
- 16:14Speaker 3: make sense. I need to move to Scotland anyway. But
- 16:20Speaker 3: there's so many things.
- 16:21Speaker 5: But there you go.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Those are some of my ratings for the new year.
- 16:24Speaker 3: And with the new year coming, I'm sure even if
- 16:27Speaker 3: TikTok does get bad, which who knows at the point,
- 16:30Speaker 3: apparently the Supreme Court is gonna hear it, we'll see
- 16:33Speaker 3: what happens. I'm sure I'll find other forms of things
- 16:36Speaker 3: to tell me to buy things and how I need
- 16:38Speaker 3: to look better with these things, and I'm gonna be
- 16:40Speaker 3: sad after I purchase them.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Yeah, Happy new Year, that's the outlook.
