0:05
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Eddie and Samantha, and welcome to stuff
0:07
Speaker 1: I never told you, production of by High Radio.
0:18
Speaker 2: And welcome back to our girl who has been doing
0:24
Speaker 2: what she needs to do for the state of Georgia,
0:26
Speaker 2: but she didn't want to and I didn't want her
0:29
Speaker 2: to go. But she's back. Eddie, welcome back.
0:32
Speaker 1: Thank you, and thank you for covering beautifully for me
0:37
Speaker 1: while I was gone the surprise jury duty.
0:41
Speaker 3: Right, I have to say.
0:44
Speaker 1: You and Christina and Caroline, thank you to all of
0:47
Speaker 1: you for allowing me to do my civic duty.
0:51
Speaker 2: Allowing like anybody had a choice. But we're glad you're back.
0:54
Speaker 2: We've missed you greatly. It is holiday time and as
0:59
Speaker 2: much as we're like we're going to get back on
1:02
Speaker 2: regular schedule, probably not, probably not. Thanksgiving is coming, Christmas
1:06
Speaker 2: is coming, New Year's is coming. Sicknesses happen, emergency situations happening,
1:12
Speaker 2: Elections are happening, So we're not We're not going to
1:15
Speaker 2: test those waters quite yet, but for this week we're
1:20
Speaker 2: trying to come back on the schedule. We'll see how
1:22
Speaker 2: that goes. Who knows. And that includes our Monday Mini,
1:26
Speaker 2: which we are recording today as is being published. So
1:30
Speaker 2: if you're wondering, it is October fourteenth, twenty twenty four,
1:33
Speaker 2: and I thought we would do something super simple to
1:35
Speaker 2: ease us back in for me and you, because it's
1:39
Speaker 2: been a heavy couple of months, whether it's sicknesses or
1:43
Speaker 2: vacations or birthdays or jury duty. So with that, I
1:48
Speaker 2: thought we would just do a quick rundown of one
1:52
Speaker 2: of my favorite things and the almost only thing that
1:55
Speaker 2: I watch except I happen to be watching a few
1:57
Speaker 2: of the classics. Supernatural has pop back into my rotation.
2:00
Speaker 2: But we're talking K dramas. K dramas, and I keep
2:03
Speaker 2: going back to the fact that Dean in Supernatural has
2:06
Speaker 2: a really big Asian fetish, and I'm like, huh, this
2:09
Speaker 2: would not go over well today, but there's a whole thing.
2:13
Speaker 2: But anyway, that whole did we ever say in in
2:18
Speaker 2: Supernatural when that publication bust the Asian Beauties? Is that
2:23
Speaker 2: a real publication?
2:25
Speaker 1: I doubt it because they'd have to get legal. I'm
2:28
Speaker 1: sure there's something that they based it similar to. Yeah,
2:32
Speaker 1: mm hm hmmm.
2:34
Speaker 2: Anyway, coming back to what I love, which is K dramas,
2:37
Speaker 2: and I thought we'd do a quick review of things
2:39
Speaker 2: I've watched and things Annie has been watching, because you know,
2:43
Speaker 2: she's global when it comes to horror movie times. We
2:46
Speaker 2: do the gal she does the global level of watching
2:49
Speaker 2: all the movies. You were just talking about one now.
2:51
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, I don't even think I realized
2:54
Speaker 2: because I don't watch a lot of movies anymore. I
2:56
Speaker 2: used to watch only movies, and it would always be
2:59
Speaker 2: action movies, really sad action movies. But I've come back
3:03
Speaker 2: to doing dramas because I like them longer, you know,
3:06
Speaker 2: giving me some time to fall in love or really
3:08
Speaker 2: hate a character. I just love go at that. So
3:12
Speaker 2: I thought we would do that today. And yeah, I
3:15
Speaker 2: think we're going to start off with some movies because
3:17
Speaker 2: we talked a little bit about it before. One of
3:20
Speaker 2: the movies we talked about was Exzuma, which, if you
3:23
Speaker 2: don't know, is a horror movie that really made its rounds.
3:26
Speaker 2: I think people were kind of shocked by the fact
3:30
Speaker 2: that even though it's very Korean cultural basis, like it's
3:34
Speaker 2: very based on their cultural beliefs and door superstitions, which
3:38
Speaker 2: you know usually makes the best movies. People really got
3:41
Speaker 2: into it and really got into the fact that they
3:43
Speaker 2: are like, oh, these are kind of based on real
3:45
Speaker 2: rituals and if you're not careful, this can get you. Yeah,
3:52
Speaker 2: And that kind of was part of like the scariness
3:55
Speaker 2: of it, like like if you concentrate too hard, try
3:58
Speaker 2: to listen to too hard into are like ceremonies, you
4:01
Speaker 2: might catch a bad spirit. M did you feel that
4:06
Speaker 2: or is that just me? No?
4:07
Speaker 1: I did, And it's I say this with all the
4:12
Speaker 1: love of my heart because it's completely true. But I
4:15
Speaker 1: have a friend, a mutual friend of ours, who texted
4:17
Speaker 1: me and was like, yeah, I found this new horror
4:20
Speaker 1: movie and he said it sex him and I was like, no,
4:21
Speaker 1: I've seen it.
4:23
Speaker 3: You behind the times, my friend.
4:26
Speaker 1: But he was like, it feels kind of like he
4:29
Speaker 1: said something like it felt kind of like Ghostbusters with
4:32
Speaker 1: the Blair Witch Project, but with like real stuff in there,
4:37
Speaker 1: like actual could get you in trouble stuff.
4:41
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, I'm.
4:42
Speaker 2: Going about the Ghostbusters part. Is it because there's ghost
4:46
Speaker 2: like they.
4:47
Speaker 3: Were kind of like, yeah, they're busting all right.
4:53
Speaker 2: Because I think Ghostbusters, I'm thinking that it's like more
4:56
Speaker 2: of a comedy and Zooma was not a comedy. No.
4:59
Speaker 3: I think he just meant like it felt like they
5:01
Speaker 3: had this we're going to get rid of this thing.
5:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but they does.
5:06
Speaker 3: Take the third act takes a real turn for me.
5:09
Speaker 2: It did, It does. There's a whole lot of things
5:11
Speaker 2: and if you don't know so, Kuoltun Kim is one
5:14
Speaker 2: of the main characters, as well as Dohi and Lee,
5:17
Speaker 2: who are two huge younger k drama actors. But then
5:21
Speaker 2: you have Chamin Sick who is huge like he did
5:24
Speaker 2: Old Boy. Like if you've known any Korean classics, he's
5:28
Speaker 2: the one. He's the one you've seen. Again, I think
5:30
Speaker 2: Old Boy is the big, big one crossover that everybody's like, oh,
5:34
Speaker 2: this is gangster type of like Korean movies. Yes, he
5:37
Speaker 2: is that dude. He's always been that dude and he
5:40
Speaker 2: still maintains to be that dude as again he was
5:43
Speaker 2: in this film and really like brought on some different
5:46
Speaker 2: level of theatrics to anything spooky or action. And it's
5:52
Speaker 2: no spoilers, I'm not going to tell you everything about it,
5:54
Speaker 2: but essentially it's the dead haunting you and what does
5:57
Speaker 2: that mean, especially when it comes to ancestral levels of
6:00
Speaker 2: haunting as well as bad players. And if you know
6:04
Speaker 2: anything about Korean history, then you understand that when it
6:07
Speaker 2: comes to the Japanese occupation, there's a lot of hate
6:11
Speaker 2: and a lot of devices conversation. Rightly so, and there's
6:15
Speaker 2: still like this level of tension in this conversation because
6:21
Speaker 2: the Japanese government and I'm not going to say the
6:23
Speaker 2: Japanese people necessarily, but the Japanese government still refuse to
6:27
Speaker 2: acknowledge their complete wrongdoing and like not necessarily the war part,
6:32
Speaker 2: because war happens, and that in itself is gross, and
6:36
Speaker 2: there's so many things in that conversation, especially when you're
6:38
Speaker 2: talking about colonialization and conquering other countries whatever whatnot. But
6:45
Speaker 2: when it comes down to some of the atrocities that
6:48
Speaker 2: happen within that war time that still has not been
6:52
Speaker 2: really discussed and or acknowledged to the full extent by
6:56
Speaker 2: the Japanese government. We know when it comes to war,
6:59
Speaker 2: we know when it comes to like colonialization as well
7:03
Speaker 2: as trying to conquer somebody taking over a country, not
7:07
Speaker 2: a lot of countries will take accountability. So with that,
7:14
Speaker 2: Azuma does play into this level as well, but also
7:18
Speaker 2: along the lines of their Buddhist traditions like rituals and
7:22
Speaker 2: all of these things, as well as their own beliefs
7:25
Speaker 2: again and superstitions that follow along, so really really intense level.
7:29
Speaker 2: The amazing fan cuts I've seen about this movie and
7:33
Speaker 2: which have all been Western people who've done it, which okay, cool. Again,
7:39
Speaker 2: this is where we've talked about before about the kwave
7:41
Speaker 2: and how big it is and how like movies like
7:44
Speaker 2: this actually do speak to all genders more so because
7:49
Speaker 2: it's not K drama drama, if that makes sense. It
7:53
Speaker 2: is an action scary horror movie and they're like, oh yeah,
7:56
Speaker 2: I can get down with this, kind of like Old Boy,
7:58
Speaker 2: and they really really made headway with this level of
8:03
Speaker 2: horror and superstition slash action thriller movie because it was different.
8:08
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the things that I enjoyed
8:11
Speaker 2: about this movie is that is unfamiliar, like we've seen
8:16
Speaker 2: a lot of well, I guess being in the US,
8:19
Speaker 2: we know a lot of US centric superstitions that we've seen.
8:23
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about like the cultural international levels
8:26
Speaker 2: of superstition, especially when it comes to like women, women's
8:29
Speaker 2: spirits and spirits. So seeing a little different take onto
8:33
Speaker 2: this with a different historical contexts that we don't necessarily
8:37
Speaker 2: we being again US centric, Western centric culture. It was
8:42
Speaker 2: nice as well as a reprieve, I guess from what
8:47
Speaker 2: we normally see, so kind of like Blair Witch, you know,
8:50
Speaker 2: like it was new for its concept, but still like
8:52
Speaker 2: the legends were more similar hiding in the woods because
8:56
Speaker 2: I grew up trying to find the haunted area in
8:58
Speaker 2: the woods because I I was raised in the woods.
9:01
Speaker 2: Essentially I did too, Yeah, I mean you were, but yeah,
9:06
Speaker 2: so it was really nice to see this is completely different.
9:09
Speaker 2: It talks a lot about its culture. Talks again like
9:11
Speaker 2: they tried their best to honor their rituals and practices
9:16
Speaker 2: by making sure they brought in Korean shamans and who
9:19
Speaker 2: directed them, taught them how to protect themselves as well
9:22
Speaker 2: as how to do things correctly, the ceremonies and like
9:25
Speaker 2: if you really come in, because I feel like, especially
9:28
Speaker 2: when we talk about Asian cultures, people come in with
9:31
Speaker 2: like a closed mind, making fun of something because it's
9:33
Speaker 2: not familiar to them. But yeah, people who come in
9:36
Speaker 2: and understanding how serious these rituals are, these chants, these songs,
9:41
Speaker 2: all of these that they can't like they really truly
9:44
Speaker 2: believe that this can cause you problems spiritually and physically
9:49
Speaker 2: and emotionally that you take that seriousness in watching this movie,
9:53
Speaker 2: that it will give you that kind of moment.
9:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really like you said, I thought it was.
10:00
Speaker 1: It was unlike most stuff I've seen, which I've seen
10:03
Speaker 1: a lot of horror movies. So that's that's impressive, and
10:07
Speaker 1: I recommend it. Yeah, it's it's really fun and it's
10:10
Speaker 1: like it does have a lot of changes where you think,
10:13
Speaker 1: oh it's going this way, Oh it's going this way,
10:16
Speaker 1: Oh it's going this way. Yeah, but with that kind
10:19
Speaker 1: of the history and those superstitions that are really interesting
10:22
Speaker 1: and all of that built into it.
10:24
Speaker 3: So I really enjoyed it.
10:26
Speaker 2: That poor priest. Yeah, anyway, without spoilers, just y'all that
10:31
Speaker 2: poor priest anyway. But yeah, this isn't any and Sam recommendation.
10:39
Speaker 2: If you love a good horror movie, if you have
10:41
Speaker 2: time to sit down and read the subtitles, I think
10:43
Speaker 2: you should definitely watch it in Korean. I don't recommend
10:46
Speaker 2: dubbed for this because you're gonna miss I don't know
10:49
Speaker 2: if you'll miss it, because I don't know how they
10:51
Speaker 2: will do like the whole chanting step part. Surely they
10:53
Speaker 2: wouldn't dub that over. But you should definitely watch if
10:56
Speaker 2: you love a good horror movie. Something else that I
11:08
Speaker 2: watch that's not a horror movie if you don't want
11:10
Speaker 2: to go down the road is Love Reset. I actually
11:13
Speaker 2: watched this on our way to DC. I was like, yeah,
11:17
Speaker 2: look at this. I guess the Korean dramas there's following
11:20
Speaker 2: me because they recommended this movie to me on the flight.
11:22
Speaker 2: I don't understand this, but okay. And it's a Korean
11:25
Speaker 2: drama with one of my favorite favorite favorite actresses, chunkso Men.
11:29
Speaker 2: I've talked about her previously a lot, who I think
11:32
Speaker 2: is just an adorable, wonderful actress. And it's a actual
11:35
Speaker 2: romantic comedy. And because I'm so used to K dramas,
11:39
Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting like they don't have like gratuitous sex
11:41
Speaker 2: things or anything. But they get showed them in bed together,
11:44
Speaker 2: like partially naked. I was like what, and so was
11:48
Speaker 2: it ready? I'm so used to K dramas where you
11:50
Speaker 2: don't kiss until episode six and that's a scandal. So
11:54
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, but it's a really cute
11:57
Speaker 2: romantic comedy. It kind of reminds me of such Out
12:00
Speaker 2: of a Spotless Mind for a spoiler alert, in that
12:03
Speaker 2: they forget each other, but they had previously tried to
12:07
Speaker 2: end their marriage or married and now they've forgotten each
12:09
Speaker 2: other and they're trying to figure out what they want
12:11
Speaker 2: and they kind of are like resetting everything. So is
12:15
Speaker 2: a comedy, but in my mind I was like, Oh,
12:17
Speaker 2: it's not gonna end well, but who knows, who knows,
12:22
Speaker 2: We'll see. But also, yeah, if you have time watched,
12:25
Speaker 2: that's easy watch. You said that you just recently watched
12:30
Speaker 2: one with the one of the actors from Parasite who
12:33
Speaker 2: did die by suicide I think this year actually, and
12:37
Speaker 2: that movie was Sleep.
12:38
Speaker 1: Yes, as you probably ascertained, I'm always on the hunt
12:42
Speaker 1: for new horror movies and this one was pretty well
12:46
Speaker 1: reviewed and I wanted to I wanted to check it out.
12:50
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you, Samantha, a lot of the movies,
12:52
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are international that I've been
12:54
Speaker 1: watching lately that I haven't seen Dog diyes in them,
13:00
Speaker 1: two dogs die and it's actually kind it's played kind
13:04
Speaker 1: of comically, but yes, yeah, but it's about a new.
13:13
Speaker 3: A newly married couple moves in.
13:17
Speaker 1: The wife is pregnant and they have this sign that
13:21
Speaker 1: reads something like together, we can do anything.
13:24
Speaker 3: It's like one of those.
13:25
Speaker 1: Really like yeah you pray love yeah, but it says
13:29
Speaker 1: something like together, we can do anything. And the husband
13:34
Speaker 1: is an actor, but he starts sleepwalking and he starts
13:38
Speaker 1: doing like in progressively creepier and creepier things while he's sleepwalking.
13:44
Speaker 1: I think the first thing he says is something like
13:47
Speaker 1: someone's here.
13:48
Speaker 3: But it gets.
13:49
Speaker 1: Worse, and the whole movie you're questioning whether or not
13:55
Speaker 1: it is sleepwalking or as the wife starts to believe
13:59
Speaker 1: there is a ghost or something possessing him, and.
14:03
Speaker 3: Then the baby.
14:05
Speaker 1: When the baby is born, it becomes like a danger
14:08
Speaker 1: to the baby. She's not sleeping, he's not sleeping. Worst decisions.
14:15
Speaker 1: Eventually she makes a power point about how they're being haunted,
14:21
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite things. And there is
14:25
Speaker 1: a really sassy like I would probably shaman. It was
14:29
Speaker 1: sort of like an exorcist that comes in who I
14:31
Speaker 1: liked a lot.
14:34
Speaker 3: It was really good. It kept me guessing to the end.
14:36
Speaker 1: Till the very end, I was not sure what was
14:42
Speaker 1: going on here, but it was. It's definitely like a
14:47
Speaker 1: It was an interesting look at a couple because she's
14:52
Speaker 1: got this sign and she keeps pointing to it, like
14:54
Speaker 1: we can do everything together, we can do it, and
14:57
Speaker 1: they're just like falling apart because neither of them are
15:01
Speaker 1: sleeping and she's afraid he's gonna murder the baby at
15:04
Speaker 1: any moment.
15:05
Speaker 2: So it doesn't end well.
15:07
Speaker 1: I yeah, I won't spoil it, but it definitely again,
15:11
Speaker 1: it takes a turn, It takes a turn.
15:14
Speaker 2: A third they all do. I think they love a
15:17
Speaker 2: good like unexpected, because it's kind of like the k
15:19
Speaker 2: jobas that I've talked about. I'm like, Oh, this is
15:21
Speaker 2: a cute, little romantic holl Why did they have to
15:23
Speaker 2: do a murder scene with nothing like it hasn't Why?
15:26
Speaker 2: And then one of them gets stocked and then they
15:27
Speaker 2: get murdered. I'm like, what just happened? What? What just
15:30
Speaker 2: what just happened? Why are we killing people? Now? What's up?
15:35
Speaker 2: Can that be? People like? This is so dark all
15:37
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it just that seems unnecessary. The Korean
15:41
Speaker 2: movie Korean Josie to just really love to do that. Yeah,
15:46
Speaker 2: And then I have another recommendation. I think I've talked
15:48
Speaker 2: about this movie before and I'd watched this. This is
15:50
Speaker 2: one of those movies that I had watched way back when,
15:52
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh yeah, because it also has
15:53
Speaker 2: one of those twists and turns that you're never you
15:55
Speaker 2: never know was happening. It's called The Which Part one,
15:59
Speaker 2: the Subversion, and there's a part two that I haven't
16:01
Speaker 2: seen yet because I was like, it's the original actress
16:03
Speaker 2: in there, because she is amazing, and actually she's been
16:07
Speaker 2: in I think. I talked about Our Beloved Summer as
16:10
Speaker 2: being one of my favorite careeran dramas. That's just really
16:13
Speaker 2: sweet and unexpected. But The Which Part one Subversion. This
16:16
Speaker 2: was her first movie Kim Dummy and Chai Wushik. He
16:20
Speaker 2: was the main actor in Parasite as well as Oakcha,
16:23
Speaker 2: which I have not seen and I will not watch
16:26
Speaker 2: because of the again aforementioned like I will not watch
16:30
Speaker 2: things with animal deaths or abuse or loneliness.
16:35
Speaker 1: This is a plot point in a show I really
16:37
Speaker 1: like called poker Face, where one of the characters is
16:40
Speaker 1: a barbecue you like, had the most famous barbecue in
16:43
Speaker 1: Texas or whatever. He saw that movie Its job, Yeah,
16:50
Speaker 1: I love it.
16:52
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough. I had that moment of yesterday
16:56
Speaker 2: when I watched something with live octopus going ouse. They're
17:01
Speaker 2: so smart are you going to kill it? Don't do this?
17:04
Speaker 2: And then I realized, I think I'm really glad that
17:06
Speaker 2: I'm allergic to suffal pods feelings. Anyway, back to so,
17:13
Speaker 2: these two are in the which part one, the subversion.
17:16
Speaker 2: The two top actors are in Our Beloved Summer, which
17:20
Speaker 2: is one of my favorite K dramas. Like all time favorites,
17:23
Speaker 2: gave me all the feels, and I really felt like
17:25
Speaker 2: they did a great job. But this movie was a
17:28
Speaker 2: huge difference, and she does an amazing job. This is
17:31
Speaker 2: her first movie from what I gathered, I think maybe
17:33
Speaker 2: her first acting job. I'm not really sure about that,
17:35
Speaker 2: but she killed this role and has a lot of
17:39
Speaker 2: dark twists and turns. This probably wouldn't be necessarily a
17:42
Speaker 2: horror movie, but it is a thriller, suspenseful thriller, and
17:46
Speaker 2: I think it's worth a watch. We should talk about
17:48
Speaker 2: this later, but you know, worth the watch for anybody asking.
18:01
Speaker 2: So I'm actually gonna check the short because I did
18:04
Speaker 2: not think that we had that much to say about
18:05
Speaker 2: four movies, but I guess we really did. Andy also,
18:09
Speaker 2: just the welcome back sequence because we really missed you.
18:12
Speaker 2: We are going to go ahead ended here, but I
18:14
Speaker 2: will say I'm currently watching Culinary Class Wars, which is
18:18
Speaker 2: on Netflix, not a sponsor, and it's an interesting setup
18:22
Speaker 2: which it is a cooking show. I love me a
18:24
Speaker 2: good cooking show. I love competitive cooking. I don't know
18:27
Speaker 2: what it is, but that's probably one of my favorite
18:29
Speaker 2: things ever. Top Chef was on my top five, which
18:32
Speaker 2: is why pad Malakshmi is on my please come talk
18:35
Speaker 2: to me, let me just look at you list. She
18:38
Speaker 2: is amazing to me, and I love the shows in
18:40
Speaker 2: general and they make me really hungry, really hungry anyway.
18:45
Speaker 2: But with all that, this is a Korean culinary cook show,
18:50
Speaker 2: cooking competition where they have experienced award winning chefs who
18:54
Speaker 2: have already made a name for themselves. A lot of
18:57
Speaker 2: them have Michelin Stars, a lot of them are like
18:59
Speaker 2: top ranked competitions and all these things versus newly up
19:05
Speaker 2: and coming chefs who are not necessarily making the name
19:08
Speaker 2: for themselves at this point in time they are. It's
19:11
Speaker 2: very interesting. It's very Korean, but it's an interesting concept
19:15
Speaker 2: because the idea of class wars within this type of culture,
19:19
Speaker 2: as well as the fact that in South Korea, class
19:22
Speaker 2: is a big conversation and part of I think a
19:25
Speaker 2: big controversy within their culture, especially with the newer, newer,
19:29
Speaker 2: younger generations, especially when it comes to the job market
19:32
Speaker 2: about respect and about who has the right to do
19:35
Speaker 2: what to other people. Because we've talked about this, I'm like,
19:37
Speaker 2: this is so insane how the level of disrespect newer,
19:43
Speaker 2: younger employees or people get by the older generations and
19:48
Speaker 2: they are told to, you know, put up with it.
19:51
Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. And it's an odd
19:53
Speaker 2: concept to me because I'm like, in the US, if
19:56
Speaker 2: you kick your employee or if you pretend like you're
19:59
Speaker 2: going to hit in the you're gonna get sued rightly.
20:03
Speaker 2: So so this is an odd thing. I don't Again,
20:06
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this is dramatized and it happens
20:09
Speaker 2: as often as it does, but we know that the
20:11
Speaker 2: belittling and then like the put down of whether it's
20:14
Speaker 2: emotionally or just like verbally, it happens a lot. It's
20:17
Speaker 2: kind of to me an unsettling cultural aspect of that
20:22
Speaker 2: of a lot of Asian cultures. Of course, we know
20:24
Speaker 2: that also there's a flip which like the younger generations
20:27
Speaker 2: are way too comfortable and disrespectful so there's kind of
20:30
Speaker 2: be a line, but all that say this kind of
20:33
Speaker 2: pulls it out in a culinary level. Like I was
20:37
Speaker 2: screaming at the TV any my partner came down because
20:39
Speaker 2: I was like, you're don't mean, why are you being
20:42
Speaker 2: so bee like? It just felt rude and shout out
20:47
Speaker 2: Edward Lee, who is a Korean American cook who has
20:51
Speaker 2: won many awards, was on Top Chef. That's actually how
20:54
Speaker 2: I got to know him. Apparently one iron chef in
20:56
Speaker 2: the US as well as did like the House White
21:01
Speaker 2: House state dinner for South Korea a leader and the
21:05
Speaker 2: American president at the time, so it was really cool.
21:08
Speaker 2: So he's a really big deal and he went to
21:09
Speaker 2: South Korea to compete, and him knowing very minimal Korean
21:13
Speaker 2: and competing with this type of culinary expertise in Korea
21:17
Speaker 2: using their their like ingredients and all of their types
21:22
Speaker 2: of taste when it comes to culinary taste because it's different.
21:25
Speaker 2: It was interesting to see. I felt very seen with
21:27
Speaker 2: him trying to figure things out knowing very minimal Korean,
21:30
Speaker 2: growing up Korean. I was like, okay, yeah, I feel
21:35
Speaker 2: felt like one of those moments so like I can
21:37
Speaker 2: relate so well. To this, and I didn't think I
21:39
Speaker 2: could to anyone who had actual, like Korean upbringing. But anyway,
21:44
Speaker 2: all that to say is, of course we'reting. I was
21:46
Speaker 2: rooting for him. I think it is over. I got
21:47
Speaker 2: spoiled on it today. Yeah, I know, I didn't know.
21:51
Speaker 2: I didn't know they were going to spoil me. But
21:53
Speaker 2: it's okay. I'm slowly making it through, but it's shout out.
21:55
Speaker 2: If you like culinary shows, if you like competitive like
21:58
Speaker 2: cooking shows like I do, you should definitely check this out.
22:01
Speaker 2: I think it's really interesting, especially the types of food
22:03
Speaker 2: that they make makes you really hungry.
22:09
Speaker 1: Oh no, I know, I gept tents just thinking about it.
22:15
Speaker 3: I want everyone to win, and there's not.
22:21
Speaker 2: Really any jerks in there. And then there's people who
22:23
Speaker 2: are like older people who are coming on that never
22:27
Speaker 2: I'm like disqualified, Jama, I'm sorry.
22:33
Speaker 3: Oh no, Samantha's getting emotional.
22:36
Speaker 2: Emotional yelling at the screen is fine.
22:38
Speaker 3: I'm fine, I get it. I get it.
