Looking Back at 2022 - Part One · I Was Thinking…

• 1:02
  Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of I was
• 1:06
  thinking I'm Simone and I'm Brianna.
• 1:08
  And yeah, I already said welcome back to another episode.
• 1:11
  I got it better. My introductions I like never
• 1:14
  know what to say like a catchy jingle or something.
• 1:19
  Something I don't know. But yeah, we're back.
• 1:24
  There's no reason why they should have sold out of the tour
• 1:28
  Merch. This is why you're here, and
• 1:31
  she's gonna get sad. Now, this is because I got, I
• 1:35
  got no permission to dance merch.
• 1:39
  Nothing. I'm the I did get a photo card
• 1:42
  book so I can put my photo cards in there.
• 1:44
  That says permission to dance in a cute picture, but as far as
• 1:47
  like a T-shirt, nothing hoodie, what what is that?
• 1:51
  Korea should dance, I got The only thing I was able to get was
• 1:55
  map of the Soul stuff because apparently no one wanted to buy
• 1:58
  that. So I got you like long sleeve
• 2:00
  shirt, the tour hoodie and another shirt from map of the
• 2:04
  soul. But like you would have thought.
• 2:06
  I went to the map of Seoul concert and not the permission
• 2:09
  to dance concert and like I know I showed up late for both of
• 2:13
  them because I wasn't going to, I'm sorry I wasn't going to wait
• 2:17
  in line for a t-shirt. All right, you know, myself I
• 2:21
  would start as I would have started some fights just from
• 2:24
  Irritated tired and hungry. And I'm not going to waste like
• 2:28
  ruin my chances of State the concert because I'm cranky, and
• 2:33
  I finally have enough even if they even ran out of army bomb.
• 2:36
  Yes. And like, I felt so bad for
• 2:38
  precious little sister Zaria, because it's really all she
• 2:41
  wanted for the concert. And she wasn't able to get any
• 2:44
  like, even k-pops Wars we went to in the city.
• 2:47
  I mean, we only went to one but like they didn't have any
• 2:50
  either. I couldn't even use mine and
• 2:52
  I'll tell you when we get to the actual concert.
• 2:54
  Assert that. But that was my own dumbass
• 2:56
  fault. Why?
• 2:57
  I couldn't use my Army bomb but I just felt so bad for her.
• 3:00
  She wasn't able to buy like one for herself so and they were
• 3:04
  sold out even before we got to La.
• 3:06
  Like so now we never see. It's yes we verse and I mean I
• 3:10
  get it everybody flooded to Weaver's to get their stuff
• 3:14
  because a lot of the, I think everything, even the permission
• 3:17
  of dance merch on WE verse was sold out on, on it was, it was
• 3:22
  nothing. So on the opposite.
• 3:24
  Fact, from Simone, my sister and I went at seven, so we actually
• 3:28
  got to La the night before. So during day ones concert, we
• 3:33
  got there and three, you know. Sorry, I think these concert, we
• 3:36
  got there. Sometimes, I want to see the his
• 3:38
  want to be like day. What?
• 3:39
  But it's technically like day three days.
• 3:42
  A yeah, December 1st. We got there.
• 3:45
  December 1st. We went from LAX to our hotel,
• 3:49
  real fast. Drop that stuff off and came
• 3:51
  straight to the venue because we were like, all right?
• 3:54
  Right. We're going to be good.
• 3:55
  We're going to get our merge tonight while they're inside.
• 3:58
  Singing it up. We're going to be outside
• 3:59
  spending money, right? So we get up there and we get to
• 4:03
  the front of the stadium. So, the very front that's facing
• 4:05
  the form. I think that's the front if it
• 4:07
  isn't, sorry. Uh-huh.
• 4:08
  And we walk the, I don't think I even experienced the whole
• 4:11
  stadium because I know there was a huge sign were like that said,
• 4:14
  permission to dance. And I wanted to take a picture
• 4:16
  of it, but like, just the way things were going on my child.
• 4:18
  This place is too big. I like that line was like four
• 4:21
  hours long. Take a picture with a side.
• 4:22
  I was like, no nothing. Go look for it.
• 4:26
  I don't have that kind of time, I don't, but we walked to the
• 4:29
  first tent. We saw was one of the big
• 4:31
  Express ones. And you know, we noticed a lot
• 4:34
  of that stuff was kind of gone. They I should have bought my
• 4:36
  pictures that night like the giant like pictures that they
• 4:40
  were selling, but whatever, I'll kick myself later and we ask
• 4:43
  like, hey do you guys have Smalls?
• 4:46
  Because that's what we were looking for, small shirt,
• 4:47
  whatever for permission to dance and like oh we sold out of all
• 4:50
  the permission to dance stuff and I was like, oh well at least
• 4:53
  those shirts. It's and I said, well, you know,
• 4:56
  are you going to have them tomorrow?
• 4:57
  And he goes oh yeah, we're going to restock tomorrow.
• 4:59
  So I was like, okay cool. I guess we're just gonna end up
• 5:01
  having to come here early. But me being me.
• 5:04
  I was like, let me buy some stuff now.
• 5:06
  So I bought one permission to dance hoodie because that was
• 5:09
  the only permission to dance thing they had.
• 5:11
  And then a map of the Soul shirt for one of my friends and we
• 5:15
  asked for Army bomb. Sorry, were sold out and that
• 5:17
  was when I gave the look of like you're sold out of art, right?
• 5:21
  Because like how before we started recording I like how you
• 5:24
  said, oh, I'll just get the stuff tomorrow.
• 5:26
  So, like after day three of the content, we actually did go into
• 5:30
  the merch line, but it was only to get Daria an army bomb
• 5:34
  because we thought they had more, we didn't know they were
• 5:36
  sold out. So like I already saw there was
• 5:38
  some signs on some stuff that said, you know, sold out but
• 5:41
  like they were still quite a few so I was like standing in line
• 5:44
  after I think we asked her like the Grapevine of like people in
• 5:47
  front of us. If they had more Army bombs they
• 5:49
  told us. No, I was like, okay well well
• 5:51
  even though the plants didn't change because something
• 5:54
  Actually happened to be. We'll get to that again a little
• 5:56
  bit later. I was like, okay, so maybe we'll
• 6:00
  just have to try to get here earlier to see if we can get
• 6:03
  started Army bomb. And this I like took a mental
• 6:06
  note of the numbers of the stuff that I wanted.
• 6:08
  So I once I get to the line, I could just tell him, you know,
• 6:09
  sighs this merchandise and then go didn't think they would sell
• 6:14
  out, but I had the same mindset as you like, I'll just get this
• 6:16
  tomorrow, right? I mean, like I said, the only
• 6:20
  thing I have to go back on is MetLife like MetLife.
• 6:24
  They had two days. Again, half the amount but they
• 6:28
  didn't sell out anything. Like they had everything.
• 6:30
  I was able to get everything on my list that I wanted Army bomb.
• 6:34
  Merch pictures, Flags, whatever. So it was again very shocking.
• 6:39
  They knew they had four days. They knew a lot of people were
• 6:42
  coming and I think again, when we came that night, we didn't
• 6:45
  realize that they weren't checking tickets.
• 6:48
  I didn't even occur to me actually walking up there that
• 6:51
  they didn't have take checking them yet.
• 6:53
  I did it go. Go to, like, the main merch
• 6:55
  booth at MetLife because we got our merch.
• 6:57
  It was one of the ones where you're already inside the
• 6:59
  stadium. So like they did not Jax.
• 7:01
  That's why, when you kept saying that I'm like I didn't get asked
• 7:03
  if I had tickets for MetLife but then I was like, we went to need
• 7:07
  it. Yeah I don't I mean I don't
• 7:08
  know. I went to a merch Booth I was
• 7:10
  inside stadia again, 30 years old, I do remember you had to go
• 7:20
  through a security checkpoint which again So if I didn't do
• 7:25
  until you got inside the stadium MetLife, there was a like a
• 7:29
  turnstile kind of area where you walk through and they check your
• 7:33
  bags and stuff like that just to get into the parking lot to buy
• 7:36
  Merch. This was before you get into the
• 7:38
  venue. So I'm pretty sure, I'm 99% sure
• 7:42
  they did check like tickets and stuff before we got in there for
• 7:45
  MetLife. But I mean, so Phi.
• 7:48
  I bought what the little things that I had to buy and then we
• 7:52
  just kind of were like, all right, there's an in and out.
• 7:53
  Right next door, let's go hang out there.
• 7:55
  Which again, mistake number one was just went home, should I
• 7:59
  just went back to that hotel there?
• 8:01
  Because we have like an hour left or not even about 30
• 8:04
  minutes before you guys got done before and we just like get in
• 8:07
  and out real fast and leave. No, which comes to problem
• 8:12
  number. I don't know what number where
• 8:13
  I'm I just I really I enjoyed that concert so much and again,
• 8:20
  it was the very actually, that was the first time I had been
• 8:24
  around that many people since actually.
• 8:27
  Eric, nam's concert was the last one I went to before the sole
• 8:30
  ended. Yeah, same with me.
• 8:31
  That was. All right.
• 8:32
  Both of our last concert. It was, it wasn't as big but
• 8:35
  it's just like that Concert Experience to people seeing
• 8:38
  their favorite people. Right to see if, you know, to
• 8:41
  see somebody like you said, you like, it was the first time and
• 8:45
  it was it was so nice too. Just be out and to be around
• 8:49
  people who love the same thing to sing songs, you know, that
• 8:53
  you said, was listening to, like, in your headphones, is
• 8:56
  that about well with people. And then, like, seriously
• 8:59
  freaked out. Lie, don't bring up karaoke with
• 9:02
  this so bad. I'm ready for round two, though.
• 9:05
  I'm ready. You ready?
• 9:07
  Whenever you're ready. We can have our own little
• 9:10
  concert. Will do more BTS songs though
• 9:12
  because we to do as many will we win, but we weren't used to that
• 9:16
  set up yet so So, yes, we do not know how to work it, but now
• 9:19
  that we know, I we ready. Yes.
• 9:22
  I'm here for we can sing again and get 99% because we know, we
• 9:27
  got 100 kudos to them for what? Three hours, two hours, I mean,
• 9:42
  and they did all ot7 songs and I said, like, being back, they
• 9:46
  wanted to do Songs was like yeah, I give kudos to them and
• 9:50
  like the song says that did to, you know, a lot of had hard
• 9:53
  choreography. Yes.
• 9:54
  You choreography for all of them but the ones that they do they
• 9:57
  know how hard it was and they had shout out to the lab for
• 10:00
  showing up and, and doing on and doing permission to dance and
• 10:04
  doing all the coreos that required, you know, large groups
• 10:07
  of people. They really came out and they
• 10:09
  really they put on a shirt and soul into this and it was so
• 10:13
  apparent and it was so nice to see that they really It meant a
• 10:18
  lot for them to be in front of fans again.
• 10:21
  And, you know, like I said, we did the gym thing.
• 10:23
  Shout out to all the armies who I mean it had to have taken
• 10:27
  hours some upset, I got there late because I guess the gate
• 10:31
  that I got into, that's when they're the girl was giving out
• 10:34
  the things. Also sharp, shout out to that
• 10:36
  Army who planned that whole thing.
• 10:38
  So he's there were two, there was one that did the black Army
• 10:42
  bomb, cover us for the moon and then the hard ones and the Heart
• 10:46
  with Jeff. The minute.
• 10:48
  I mean, we saw her out there for hours but boxes, I mean, four
• 10:52
  five six boxes and she was just making sure everybody got one.
• 10:56
  I mean, it was, it was a, it was so nice.
• 11:00
  And I, like I said, it was the first time I was like in a
• 11:02
  concert space like celebrating like the artist.
• 11:05
  I'm seeing his birthday like that was pretty cool.
• 11:08
  And like he was young emotional. Like I remember when he first
• 11:10
  saw, I don't know what he saw first.
• 11:12
  It was the hardest, was it the moon's first Yankee the heart.
• 11:16
  I think. Jake, Okay.
• 11:17
  Actually pointed out the hearts them.
• 11:20
  I know. Wait when they came out dressed
• 11:21
  in white first, right? So it was after they did like
• 11:24
  Saint maybe the hearts first. I think it was nice that they
• 11:27
  saw first and then they saw the moon's because I remember that
• 11:30
  he was dressed in full white and they came out dressed in full
• 11:33
  white first for the, for the heart.
• 11:35
  So, yeah, it was, it was nice, it was so sweet.
• 11:39
  And yeah. Like he said, he's like, I
• 11:40
  didn't want to get emotional because, you know, I still have
• 11:43
  all conscious to go with it. I don't think I ever saw him
• 11:45
  that emotional. Like I saw saw When they showed
• 11:48
  him, I was like, oh my God, he's already like giddy, teared up.
• 11:52
  Then he came out there with a little RJ, tied, to his head,
• 11:55
  and that's when they did the moon, and let me play Guess, and
• 11:57
  that's what we successfully. Did the Army, wave better than
• 12:02
  day, three of us. Bring that up again, like to
• 12:08
  reinstate that I was dared a for.
• 12:10
  So we didn't screw up as much as date, hurry, I don't know what
• 12:15
  why we couldn't get this. Down.
• 12:19
  The first of all, I was, I was always kind of like with MetLife
• 12:22
  with the confusion of delight. So like when they're talking
• 12:25
  about all, we're going to do like the wave.
• 12:28
  I need you to get your light. I think looking at my light
• 12:30
  right? Yeah.
• 12:31
  Well, I think he just said, I need you, get your lights out
• 12:33
  and then some people were getting their camera.
• 12:34
  Like yeah. He's like I met your Army bombs
• 12:36
  and that brought me back to MetLife.
• 12:38
  We do micro Massey. Remember that we're here, I put
• 12:42
  up your lights, we all put up for our meals.
• 12:44
  He's like me. We're not gonna follow
• 12:50
  instructions. You're really now we all really
• 12:54
  do share like one brain cell it it's amazing when I know you but
• 12:58
  like for some reason in this setting we all share one brain
• 13:01
  cell. Yep. 100% like on day 3.
• 13:05
  And like, I don't know if we were even practicing before or
• 13:09
  not because, you know, sometimes when like, during when the
• 13:11
  waiter beginning, or like this waiting during like the
• 13:14
  animation before, like that. Yes.
• 13:16
  The what is it called? The on your we do it randomly at
• 13:21
  least here in America. I don't know if any other places
• 13:23
  they go to do it randomly I just know every time in America for
• 13:26
  some reason. Yeah we're supposed to do the
• 13:28
  wave a little bit too much. Point, but I didn't say it
• 13:51
  again. I'm offering you all a defense
• 13:52
  because I get, I don't know what day three was like, but I'm bad.
• 13:57
  It's hard to see. And again, this is different
• 13:59
  from MetLife, MetLife. We could look up and yes, you
• 14:01
  can see anybody left for so Phi. I don't know how it looked from
• 14:07
  the people below us, but we up to a certain point could not
• 14:10
  see, like once it reached like like maybe the middle of the
• 14:13
  stage area at the lights disappeared and we were just
• 14:15
  going off of what Like what when he got closer to us, like you
• 14:20
  just kind of had to assume so that could have possibly been
• 14:23
  it, but you floor people. You had no excuse, like, I could
• 14:26
  see the people in my, like, section in the same section
• 14:29
  around with me. But like and obviously I'm
• 14:31
  higher up so I could see the floor.
• 14:32
  So I don't know if the people looking up, could do the same or
• 14:34
  not but like I remember when they first started, you know how
• 14:37
  they give us instructions. Like okay we're going to start
• 14:39
  on this side, it go all the way around so I can we count down
• 14:42
  get ready and it's some people actually started before he's
• 14:45
  like they're like no no wait you guys Gotta Wait?
• 14:47
  We tell you to go, so like of course they turn off the lights
• 14:51
  and then the countdown, and then they start.
• 14:54
  And then at first, it was fine. But then like for some reason,
• 14:57
  like chaos floor started going faster than like, the 500
• 15:00
  started going slowing down in the middle, was like, I don't
• 15:03
  know where the good ones and you can kind of hear it, the voices.
• 15:06
  They're like, yeah, you guys finish the color.
• 15:16
  Also, Like try that again. You were a little too fast.
• 15:24
  Yeah, there's more sections. Higher up than you guys.
• 15:27
  So maybe maybe this next time, just to slow down a little bit.
• 15:31
  So we'll start out the other side.
• 15:33
  Let's see how other side and then back around.
• 15:38
  So then like we do it again and like it was I don't know how it
• 15:42
  got worse but like it just got worse.
• 15:46
  Like I feel like it's The 500 section like five minutes to
• 15:49
  start again, started off. Well, it did like the floor
• 15:52
  kinda just wet and then it was like the 100.
• 15:54
  So it's kind of like a weird like way following each other
• 15:58
  and this place Konami to see all their faces and then like some
• 16:03
  of them are making noises and one God be laughing.
• 16:05
  So hard was like non-jew kind of took a second.
• 16:09
  He's see that like awkward smile, he does.
• 16:11
  Sometimes he side. He's like okay.
• 16:14
  Anyway I think we're going to go ahead and move on.
• 16:17
  I tell you what, he said that. So passive-aggressively I wanted
• 16:23
  to die, I could have stopped laughing.
• 16:26
  I was literally, like, hunched over because I was laughing so
• 16:31
  hard. Anyway, the okay.
• 16:33
  Anyway, the give us the Decay. Anyway, let's move on that.
• 16:37
  Got me because it's like with you have little kids, and, like
• 16:43
  things show you stuff randomly, you kind of have to sit there
• 16:46
  like You okay. Yeah, I saw in that light.
• 16:51
  So like I thought it was cute, but like I just never saw them
• 16:55
  Soul, like, passively aggressively disappointed.
• 16:58
  Oh, so funny. I'll never forget that when they
• 17:01
  got to that again, we all kind of knew what happened.
• 17:03
  A three were like, all right, let's not mess this up, guys.
• 17:07
  Oh, so bad. I don't know if it was so weird.
• 17:11
  Oh, so it was great. He told that floor, specifically
• 17:14
  like y'all don't go too fast. I was traumatized 433.
• 17:19
  He's like, okay floor. We discussed this yesterday.
• 17:22
  Hey, slow, it down young. My God.
• 17:28
  It was great. It was.
• 17:29
  So it was sunny, such a good night.
• 17:32
  It was such a good night, but yes.
• 17:34
  We, so let's get it. So we did that and then, I
• 17:37
  wasn't expecting it either. Because I didn't know if the
• 17:39
  stadium or like ha hype. / big hit plan anything for jeans.
• 17:44
  But like, you hear it on my phone to, like, after I kind of
• 17:47
  Like all the waves like finishing at the end and then
• 17:50
  all of a sudden, lights up, happy Jin.
• 17:52
  They I just scream like how is cute.
• 17:54
  Yeah, that was so cute and like everyone was so confused and we
• 17:58
  all just start like screaming and like see happy birthday to.
• 18:01
  I was like, oh this is so sweet. That was sweet.
• 18:04
  It was so he was it was just it was such a nice and I'm glad
• 18:07
  again that we got to do that for him.
• 18:10
  And then, of course, the next day, what does he throw out?
• 18:13
  Super toy. Can you he's so lucky that that
• 18:19
  came out the day after the concert because had it come out
• 18:23
  during concert? I think it would have been so I
• 18:26
  mean as crazy and probably like why in the world that I throw
• 18:30
  this on the internet than he is right now at home.
• 18:32
  Yeah. And would be crazier than I
• 18:34
  still think. He's like, why did I put the
• 18:36
  song out? Because I don't know if he knew
• 18:38
  it was gonna blow up as it did. Like, it's insane this point and
• 18:42
  at this is another thing, I'm going to say about them, we we
• 18:45
  stand our humble Kings, but don't you Star, no, dude,
• 18:49
  namjoo. No, I got a bone to pick with
• 18:51
  you about saying, what I like have you.
• 18:54
  You've been on social media? You know how we are.
• 18:58
  Don't you show up? And say, I didn't think, we'd be
• 19:01
  loved, or nobody. Which I got.
• 19:04
  Did you pay? Did you not see Ticketmaster
• 19:07
  trending about how pissed off? We are.
• 19:09
  The tickets can't be like, what do I do with this?
• 19:15
  I love how. I don't know if I should say.
• 19:17
  That's helpful. Or is it like a?
• 19:19
  Like, you know, you have backhanded compliments.
• 19:21
  It wasn't like, rude. It was like a humble.
• 19:23
  Brag. Think it was a backhanded
• 19:25
  compliment. I really think he meant that.
• 19:27
  It's a humble brag, but still coming off as humble.
• 19:31
  Like, I don't, maybe I should have said backhanded compliment,
• 19:34
  but it's like, it's a humble brag while he was crying and
• 19:38
  still try and witty talk. Like, I could tell they really
• 19:41
  mean it. And I'm like, yes, do you guys?
• 19:44
  I beat, I understand your start. You got here was rough but do
• 19:49
  you see where you are now? Like, we all the main reason.
• 19:53
  A lot of people love you guys is because you are humble, but then
• 19:55
  sometimes it's kind of like, do you know who you are all the
• 20:01
  time? Do you know, BTS?
• 20:02
  Do you know busy and I feel like and I'm gonna bring up again.
• 20:10
  No spoilers, just Spider-Man. But what MJ says all the time.
• 20:15
  If you expect this appointment, then you You, you know what
• 20:17
  happens? You won't be disappointed.
• 20:19
  Maybe it's a little bit of that. Like if you expect the worst,
• 20:22
  then when the worst happens, you won't be disappointed.
• 20:24
  Like I know Fame is fleeting but you can't tell me in the past
• 20:29
  year. Getting number one on Billboard.
• 20:31
  However, many times getting the ujima nation, getting the record
• 20:36
  for most YouTube views. Yeah.
• 20:38
  Nice Weiss. Not one case.
• 20:41
  And now you're still saying like I didn't think we shall I get
• 20:45
  get here book. About this in the car.
• 20:54
  I said that I think in my video I have I have him.
• 20:56
  I think I have him saying that I'm the, I said no really
• 21:01
  worried that like when you said that I was like, do I get out of
• 21:06
  here with that? I didn't Ali.
• 21:08
  I love you. I love you and keep that
• 21:10
  humility. But you know, we would shout for
• 21:13
  this. You know, we're showing up
• 21:15
  especially the new fans. You guys magically gather from
• 21:19
  Dynamite? Yeah.
• 21:20
  Butter and Michigan. Yeah.
• 21:22
  Like it's just out of this world at this point.
• 21:25
  Yes. Oh yeah.
• 21:26
  Like I said and all the ice at I think pretty much everyone.
• 21:30
  I sat next to was a new Army really like the girl from
• 21:35
  Australia, think pretty sure she was a new Army the girl on the
• 21:39
  other side of my sister relatively new Army.
• 21:42
  I think she said she was why me? I still consider Dynamite like a
• 21:46
  new arm. I mean, I You know, if I'm
• 21:47
  really considered new at this point anymore or not where were
• 21:50
  you? You are still in love yourself
• 21:52
  era and just want to MetLife. Yeah, I was 2010, demek Army.
• 21:57
  Put it that way. Okay, I was late 2018.
• 21:59
  Yeah, you're not a pendant so there's there's pandemic.
• 22:01
  That's what I consider new armies are the pandemic armies,
• 22:04
  the one teacher lot into BTS, with their English songs,
• 22:08
  primarily and with dynamite because like they were still
• 22:10
  kind of when I got into them, they were kind of, you know,
• 22:12
  still kind of blow it up to the in America, but not to this
• 22:16
  extent. That they are this out that they
• 22:18
  were just like, oh, there's something cool going on across
• 22:21
  the seas. Let's invent them or kind of
• 22:22
  like talking about them like, oh, my ts like this is kind of
• 22:25
  new like we should. Yeah.
• 22:27
  Right them over, something like that.
• 22:29
  Well, I got his YouTube, I can use right now to find it.
• 22:34
  I'm and again, as as an older Army and again, as a multi stand
• 22:38
  it. It's and I said this in our
• 22:40
  last, not last, maybe you did one of the podcast that I was
• 22:44
  in. It's been such a cool thing.
• 22:47
  To see the growth that Kpop has had it since I've gotten into
• 22:52
  it, which again was back in like the 2009-2010 era to now, I
• 22:57
  mean, you can't even compare like I was telling you had to
• 23:00
  like search. I did until I didn't talk about
• 23:02
  this when me and Macey did like 21.
• 23:05
  Because like I was saying some stuff of like things that came
• 23:07
  out that never Shone the light of day and like I keep
• 23:10
  forgetting, like it was almost kind of hard if you are in the
• 23:14
  Korea to really find this stuff, not even just like The
• 23:17
  technology that we have like you see shipping prices put it that
• 23:20
  way. I mean, not that that's changed
• 23:22
  a lot but there will, ya like you ever store right?
• 23:26
  Like there was no u.s. store where you could pay still $20
• 23:30
  and shipping, but at least it wasn't 50 like, you know, for
• 23:32
  like you couldn't go into Walmart to find like a Kpop, my
• 23:35
  God, Walmart, who would have thought my God.
• 23:38
  No. So and it was funny, I'm talking
• 23:41
  to you, I was talking to my friend kailen who stands 80s,
• 23:44
  that's her old group. And we were talking about Now
• 23:47
  back in the day when, you know, Pandora was our primary source
• 23:51
  of Music brought that up on the like when we first introduced
• 23:54
  you as a leaflet because I actually how you got into it.
• 23:57
  Kpop, is it that was it? Like you didn't know I was back
• 24:00
  before, you know, learning names and learning groups, it was just
• 24:03
  like, oh it's show up and again it was Bo that would show up for
• 24:05
  me and then I made a boa station, then you had girls gen
• 24:08
  21, all these groups would show up and I didn't even make the
• 24:12
  connection, the difference between Japanese and Korean it
• 24:14
  was just like, oh, this is cool, right?
• 24:16
  Um, and I And I will say, you know, new G-Dragon was new, Big
• 24:20
  Bang new, all those big groups because as an anime fan, you
• 24:24
  kind of mix in with like Kpop and all that stuff.
• 24:28
  A lot of anime fans, love kpop. And for the reason of, when you
• 24:31
  listen to anime openings at least back, when Pandora was a
• 24:34
  thing, you'd get recommendations for because that's when they all
• 24:37
  kind of group, basically, every a stage exactly together.
• 24:47
  Kailyn and she's like, you know, member when you had to go to
• 24:49
  LimeWire to download any type of music.
• 24:51
  I mean, that was that was true for, you know, American stuff
• 24:54
  too. But you know, to find Kpop
• 24:57
  stuff. You couldn't go on to.
• 24:58
  I really go on iTunes and you couldn't go on to it with now.
• 25:01
  I'm aging myself Rapid City and find and find these songs.
• 25:07
  Like you really had to Deep dive and go on to the illegal
• 25:10
  websites, to find them. And it really wasn't until it
• 25:14
  really wasn't until Psy with Gangnam Style that It started to
• 25:17
  be like, what's going on over there?
• 25:19
  For a lot of Americans and inviting them over.
• 25:22
  Like I said, I will never forget.
• 25:24
  I think it was 2012, don't quote me when girls gen went on a
• 25:28
  David lover, Letterman and perform the boys.
• 25:30
  And I was like what, you know, like, oh my God, no, those huge.
• 25:35
  So it's so awesome to be able to like, to just say, to people,
• 25:39
  oh, I'm going to a BTS concert again, you have the handful I
• 25:41
  who or I'll wow. They're they're actually
• 25:44
  performing here are like looks like we had group, right?
• 25:47
  No. Oh my God, I'm hurryin.
• 25:56
  But sure. Actually that happened to me
• 25:58
  this past week was God. Bless her.
• 26:00
  I love her. One of the people I work with
• 26:02
  she was like, oh, are those Chinese poison?
• 26:05
  In my heart just went. Yeah, the Korean guys are
• 26:09
  around. People were at least they know
• 26:11
  their careers. So like they'll just say Korean
• 26:14
  boys and I'm like, actually these are grown ass man.
• 26:16
  But That was an interesting one but
• 26:41
  it's been so the that I never would have thought back in 2015.
• 26:47
  2014 getting into BTS that I would have been able to go to
• 26:50
  two of their concerts again. Never would have thought outside
• 26:54
  of cake on and and random little events that they have that they
• 26:58
  would be performing here. Doing tour sold out, right?
• 27:02
  And stadiums like we fight stadiums beating out are almost
• 27:06
  beating out Bruce or did they beat Bruce Springsteen's record?
• 27:10
  I forgot what that was of the amount of money made in
• 27:14
  thinkthey. I know, I heard they be Eat
• 27:17
  someone's record by little. They just I think they're just
• 27:20
  under Bruce Springsteen. But again Springsteen did
• 27:23
  multiple shows all around the country, this is for days.
• 27:27
  So that's saying something in one location for a.
• 27:29
  I mean, who would have thought if you'd asked anybody a few
• 27:34
  years ago with this have happened, I think everybody
• 27:36
  would have looked human like, nah, you know, it was a
• 27:39
  segmented group of people and now you pretty much everybody,
• 27:43
  unless you live under a rock, which apparently there's still
• 27:45
  people that do nose. So at least BTS.
• 27:49
  Yeah and I'm glad and I'm happy to see all these other groups
• 27:53
  coming and trying to like Monsta X has been doing a lot of stuff.
• 27:57
  Nct's, been trying to come and break it up.
• 27:59
  Obviously with super mm. They've been trying to come in.
• 28:01
  Its, I mean I love it. I love it and here's to Old It
• 28:06
  Fun. Like, with all the dancers,
• 28:12
  there is one song. That's I mean, I say it's like a
• 28:15
  BTS song, but it's not really a beauty.
• 28:17
  I saw that. I know, I will never ever see a
• 28:21
  person. What do you want them thinking?
• 28:24
  What are you thinking? Not go ahead and say what you're
• 28:25
  gonna say. I'm not gonna say come back
• 28:27
  home. Oh okay.
• 28:28
  No, it's not. The only guy was, what do you
• 28:30
  think? I was gonna say?
• 28:34
  It's a forbidden request that he told me once we're done
• 28:37
  recording old army work. I'll tell you when we get Yeah.
• 28:40
  Okay I would really like to see come back home even though, I
• 28:42
  know I would never ever sleep. Come back home.
• 28:45
  I would like to see some things for black dark and wild.
• 28:47
  Maybe let's get second grade. I got a beer second grade.
• 28:51
  Yeah, I would say yes. Danger - what would you call it?
• 28:59
  What what what you said earlier I said, danger know that if I
• 29:02
  won what do you say? How do you say it?
• 29:05
  Its final Ceaselessly. Please keep saying that.
• 29:17
  It's my favorite. Somebody's hungry, go to
• 29:26
  Chick-fil-A, is what you want. Anyway, that's really, I think
• 29:34
  what we played the game. I called it fillet.
• 29:36
  It's my bad. It's great.
• 29:39
  Now that's gonna. That is now the official name I
• 29:41
  call it. Hip-hop fillet.
• 29:43
  So. So the concert was great, it was
• 29:50
  great seeing them again. Even though I was high up, you
• 29:52
  know, I was still there, I got to experience it, it's fine.
• 29:55
  I will manifest pray for, especially if they come to
• 29:59
  Florida, I will get those four seats and see, but that was
• 30:02
  another thing I was thinking about, like, I want floor but I
• 30:06
  don't I don't know if I want to be close enough to of any of
• 30:09
  them can see me because of them won't.
• 30:14
  Okay, of course, I will record some things.
• 30:18
  Like I like going to concerts to dance.
• 30:20
  So I kind of feel like if especially if my song comes on.
• 30:24
  And if any of them kind of see be dancing and acknowledge me, I
• 30:29
  might kind of just dig a hole right where I'm standing and
• 30:33
  just be fine for it. Like I said, I have touched
• 30:37
  hands with 80s. I have screamed big titties at
• 30:40
  Eric. The only other concert I've been
• 30:43
  to that, I haven't been able to make I was all for but didn't
• 30:47
  they weren't able to see? Amy was NCT if I get fluoride
• 30:51
  BTS and close enough to where if I'm dancing like a lunatic and
• 30:55
  they Point me out, I will live for it.
• 30:58
  I will live. If you look for it and like get
• 31:00
  embarrassed but like no, you don't know
• 31:12
  what you're doing. Create a meme or I can be
• 31:27
  noticed, remembered whatever. Yeah, I remember when we were
• 31:34
  like online for the first half of 2021.
• 31:39
  Was it or 2022? 2022.
• 31:41
  It was so boring and lonely, but like, it's nice to be able to go
• 31:45
  in at least. See people visit, not 2020, huh?
• 31:48
  Was it not 2020 or you talking about?
• 31:51
  I'm talking about 2020 because that was the first time they
• 31:54
  moved school to online, like completely, okay?
• 31:57
  You said, you didn't know if it was 20 21 or 20, 22, and just
• 32:00
  started 20 22, and make sure. Ulong.
• 32:04
  Listen, wasn't, what is my catchphrase?
• 32:12
  Take a shot every time she says that would be blacked out for,
• 32:16
  like, five days. Did you defeat?
• 32:20
  So, I'm sorry. I will say, though, I feel like
• 32:26
  people's behavior has been improving ever, so slightly, but
• 32:30
  it is improving like you don't hear a lot of cases of people
• 32:33
  just, you know, hurling themselves at someone else
• 32:35
  because someone said, no. Customer service industry.
• 32:42
  I'm not so sure. I agree with that.
• 32:45
  People are so trigger-happy or maybe I'm just not paying
• 32:49
  attention to the news. I don't know.
• 32:50
  Have you have you ever worked a customer service job the feasts,
• 32:55
  huh? That's not that.
• 32:56
  What have you ever worked a customer service job, like, in a
• 32:59
  restaurant or like retail? No, I take that back.
• 33:03
  I think it was this year when I saw when I saw video of the lady
• 33:07
  throwing like soup in somebody's face.
• 33:09
  Ace. I think that was this year.
• 33:11
  Never mind scratch that. Yeah, yeah, he hasn't gotten
• 33:19
  better. It's gotten worse but to answer
• 33:21
  your question. No, I have not.
• 33:22
  Okay, I don't think I would last in that kind of job.
• 33:25
  Honestly, my anxiety would take over and I'd like Panic all the
• 33:28
  time. It's seriously a surprise that
• 33:30
  I'm still here the stuff that's like people I think I have like
• 33:37
  one of those like Is that people, like can't yell at me
• 33:42
  but people are definitely rude. Like, I've never had somebody
• 33:44
  scream at me, well, on the phone, I have when I worked it.
• 33:49
  I because I did the insurance thing to just home insurance,
• 33:53
  not health insurance, but and I answered the phones and I've had
• 33:57
  people scream at me on there, but as far as like somebody and
• 34:01
  like that, I'm checking them out like at a store and I haven't
• 34:05
  had anybody scream at me, but people are really rude.
• 34:07
  I read a very passive aggressive, so So because like
• 34:11
  they get defeated I've learned to like you still kind of have
• 34:14
  to try to talk to them with a smile because it that's their
• 34:18
  way of like getting Giving Up. So they do they like are not
• 34:21
  getting under your skin but it's still hard because like, you
• 34:24
  know, I want to cut back on YouTube but I can't, I could but
• 34:29
  try not to lose his job to pay my bills.
• 34:32
  Yeah, I kind of just pretend like they're not yelling at me
• 34:35
  like I talk to them how I would if they weren't yelling at me.
• 34:38
  So I'm like So sad just chill out as you're not going to get a
• 34:42
  response from me. That's the best way to handle
• 34:44
  it. That you'd like.
• 34:45
  I'm not getting agitated with the fact that you're agitated
• 34:47
  with me or just stop tank. That's so sad that like, you
• 34:51
  have to create this whole scenario, not you.
• 34:53
  But I mean like everyone in that position.
• 34:55
  Yeah. What have to like we create
• 34:57
  these mental scenarios so they don't lose it.
• 34:59
  Like, my last two days, I was training a girl who just
• 35:03
  started. So she was telling me how she
• 35:06
  worked a hard. He's like, down the street.
• 35:10
  And like there's just no one there because they didn't want
• 35:12
  to work, which is understandable but like she would work full
• 35:14
  days sometimes going like five in the morning to close at like
• 35:18
  11:00 at night and just like, even though the pay was good but
• 35:23
  like no one just wanted to work and then like, customers, you're
• 35:25
  just getting mad because there's no one working.
• 35:27
  So like they're yelling at them because like their foods, not
• 35:30
  there on time since it's fast food and things like that.
• 35:33
  And like before she started working the job, I just left
• 35:37
  like everyone just basically walk Doubt that day so it's
• 35:41
  crazy. And it's liked interesting, like
• 35:43
  two years ago, like governments like oh you guys are essential
• 35:48
  workers and then when they start putting us back to work, we're
• 35:50
  back to being like Burger flippers.
• 35:54
  Don't know what we're doing with our Lives.
• 35:55
  Why are we asking for 15 dollars an hour?
• 35:57
  Which we still can't live on because the job.
• 36:00
  So we do. Apparently, aren't that
• 36:03
  important. Even though, as you can see,
• 36:06
  when people aren't working these jobs, everyone that's rich and
• 36:08
  don't know how to Pick up just a simple Fork.
• 36:11
  Don't know what to do with their lives, just saying.
• 36:15
  All right. So all my all my service and
• 36:20
  customer service job. People understand what I'm
• 36:23
  saying? We appreciate you guys, here.
• 36:26
  We salute, you liking what? I got a retail like I just
• 36:29
  started making sure I lease if I ask for help thanking people
• 36:33
  because like, besides just the job itself, he just don't know
• 36:36
  what people are going through. Why, why do we try Why do some
• 36:40
  people try so hard is to make other people's lives like hard?
• 36:47
  Yeah, I the only thing I'm confused about is like, where
• 36:50
  did everybody go? Because I know that like, you
• 36:54
  know, people have been living off of like unemployment and
• 36:57
  everything and I don't blame them for Nessa and not wanting
• 36:59
  to go back to it because it sucks, but like I had to go back
• 37:03
  because I needed to make money again.
• 37:05
  So I'm like, where are all the people that were doing these
• 37:07
  jobs before. Like, are they just Just like
• 37:11
  where did they go? I mean like why I've gotten
• 37:17
  covid? Or yeah.
• 37:18
  But there also are like new people that are becoming
• 37:22
  teenagers. That are like the typical people
• 37:24
  that would work there. Like people are still having
• 37:26
  kids and they're still getting older.
• 37:27
  So like why is there such a shortage of people to work?
• 37:31
  Because it's like I couldn't just do that.
• 37:34
  I had to go back and earn money so I could also be getting
• 37:38
  different types of jobs. I mean, I feel like So many
• 37:40
  jobs. Now that's starting to turn to
• 37:42
  promote. Yeah, I really don't know that's
• 37:46
  great but there's just there's a lot of people in the world and
• 37:48
  like there's a lot of people that need those kind of jobs.
• 37:52
  So like where the heck did they all go?
• 37:54
  I mean is what I'm confused about, I don't know.
• 37:57
  Like maybe they also could be like sad to say like getting
• 37:59
  homeless but like even with the I don't know the statistics.
• 38:03
  I need to like figure out six either because I know just from
• 38:07
  watching like my job, like We kept complaining how there's a
• 38:11
  shortage of like housekeepers or front desk people but then
• 38:13
  there's sometimes there were people that would come in and do
• 38:17
  an application and they wouldn't get the job because like they
• 38:21
  just didn't want to hire them. I'm like you guys are screaming.
• 38:24
  You need help when help comes you don't give them a chance.
• 38:29
  I'm confused. I feel like that could be the
• 38:31
  biggest reason because I've noticed that too a lot as in
• 38:34
  like education like people will come but they won't give them
• 38:38
  like that main job. We'll give them like an
• 38:40
  assistant job or something, you can still be out of shortage.
• 38:43
  That makes sense. Like I was looking for a job
• 38:46
  since even though I currently have a job, I was looking for a
• 38:49
  new job since what? I think July, yeah.
• 38:52
  Looking for a while and it's January now.
• 38:55
  Okay. It's just surprising to me like
• 38:56
  there is a shortage is literally everywhere.
• 38:59
  Like every every sign and on a business in my town says hiring
• 39:04
  and each week or each month, like the price of how much
• 39:08
  they'll give you goes up. Up.
• 39:09
  So I'm like, where the heck are all the people that lost their
• 39:13
  jobs at the beginning of this? Like are they just staying on
• 39:16
  unemployment or they doing something else or like what
• 39:19
  happened? Like, why is there so much
• 39:21
  shortage like everywhere I guess is my question?
• 39:24
  It is a good question because unemployment is not what?
• 39:28
  It's not the same. I thought it ran out in Florida.
• 39:30
  I thought they stopped giving it.
• 39:32
  Yeah, they stopped giving the pandemic one and it's not enough
• 39:34
  to live on. So we got that wouldn't be an
• 39:37
  option for me to like, just not. Do anything?
• 39:40
  I don't know because I know when they stop to giving the pandemic
• 39:44
  like the six hundred a week, that's when I was like, okay, I
• 39:47
  was like, yeah, okay, I really need to look for something
• 39:50
  that's more sustainable. Now, that's a really good point.
• 39:53
  You bring up her, I just, I mean, I get it like, I don't, I
• 39:56
  wouldn't want to go back. Either working at the really
• 39:58
  hard retail jobs, especially with, like, how people act, but
• 40:02
  at the end of the day, you, if you didn't, you know, go down
• 40:05
  another Avenue while pandemic was happening.
• 40:07
  Like, when you need to get your job back.
• 40:09
  I have heard, a lot of people are opening up their own
• 40:14
  companies. Businesses businesses got to
• 40:17
  could be it to ensure. People are moving to social
• 40:20
  media as well. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:22
  I guess I guess that the follow-up question.
• 40:24
  It has, where are they getting their money to start their own
• 40:26
  business if they were living off on employment and like candied
• 40:29
  it from like the stimulus check or unemployment knows our this
• 40:34
  new stupid cryptocurrency that I am still confused to this day on
• 40:38
  how to use. And I don't think I'm Jumping on
• 40:40
  that train so Bitcoin and all that I guess I'm not ended like
• 40:45
  Innovative enough. But cryptocurrency I kind of
• 40:48
  understand but n of T is what human.
• 40:51
  I'm still confused since day one.
• 40:53
  And of T is like I don't want to be sitting here like that isn't
• 40:56
  complaining. It's bad but like I just want to
• 40:58
  know. Like so if it really is that
• 41:00
  bad, I can't find anything from my understanding and I have T is
• 41:05
  like a digital version of a physical thing.
• 41:09
  So you know How we have like digital money now which is
• 41:12
  basically cryptocurrency. Yes.
• 41:14
  So this digital like item called an N of T is backed by that
• 41:18
  digital money so it's all like virtual stuff.
• 41:21
  Simply put. All I see when people are
• 41:24
  talking about why it's bad is because the environment.
• 41:26
  So that's why I'm really concerned like, yeah.
• 41:29
  How is it bad for the environment for stuff we already
• 41:32
  like? Hmm.
• 41:34
  I do week now. Yeah, I haven't researched it
• 41:38
  that far, but Yeah, I hadn't heard the environment thing.
• 41:42
  I don't know, I don't really know anything about it but I saw
• 41:45
  one girl on Tick-Tock. She was like I think her
• 41:48
  girlfriend pointed the camera is like explain it to me.
• 41:51
  And she's like well basically like if you're a man first of
• 41:56
  all, you have to be a man and you have to be at the like top
• 41:59
  of the hierarchy already. We're going to give you this
• 42:02
  imaginary man that you own but you don't really own it, but
• 42:06
  we're going to say that you own it but like Abused.
• 42:11
  But he said he was like, do we ever actually really own things
• 42:16
  to begin with? What is going to deal with
• 42:19
  questions asked? It's all stuff that we've made
• 42:24
  up to mean things so you know, like the apps I have now like
• 42:31
  say yes, they're technically by but like, I don't actually
• 42:34
  really own them. Yeah there it's just something
• 42:38
  intangible that Paid money for you pay for the I could be
• 42:42
  deleted at any point. Yeah.
• 42:44
  It's like we're streaming services now.
• 42:46
  Like, yes, I can access it anytime.
• 42:47
  But like, what if there's a movie, I saw two months ago, and
• 42:49
  I want to re-watch it, I can't do that because they deleted it
• 42:52
  to make space for new stuff. Cassie.
• 42:56
  You, you've used something that you've paid for, but
• 42:58
  technically, you can't use it again because they've already
• 43:00
  gotten rid of it. So like but how much like what
• 43:04
  you paid for it, I guess wasn't enough to own it forever.
• 43:08
  Like what does that even I'm so weird.
• 43:12
  I just think of it as a payment for use, like, doesn't involve a
• 43:16
  ballooning or anything, but like e but if me and you paid the
• 43:20
  same amount for something that we use, but I use it 20 hours a
• 43:24
  month and you only use it five hours a month, should we be
• 43:27
  paying the same amount? She cracked the code guys,
• 43:44
  that is a good question, though. But you know, they actually
• 43:50
  started making Indian versions of a lot of like the popular
• 43:56
  Disney shows too. So that was those interesting to
• 44:00
  know to learn. Yeah, I've noticed in we're kind
• 44:02
  of Crossing into, you know, we're kind of in this new are
• 44:07
  like even here there's a bunch of remakes of like movies and TV
• 44:12
  shows, like a very popular like back in early 2000 90s or even
• 44:16
  further and they're remaking them.
• 44:18
  And now we're getting the A point to where there is remix on
• 44:21
  an international board. Like I keep hearing that one
• 44:25
  famous Korean show sky castle door apparently supposed to be
• 44:29
  making an American version of that.
• 44:31
  We'll see how that goes. There's been another.
• 44:34
  Yeah well there's been other like stuff like that where
• 44:36
  they've read make like I was remember texting Rihanna, I
• 44:40
  don't know how we got on this topic, but we mentioned that and
• 44:43
  I mentioned the movie Old Boy, where Spike Lee made old boy
• 44:48
  back in. Thousand thirteen, which is a
• 44:50
  2005 Korean movie of the same name.
• 44:55
  I think it's called old boy. Yeah, it's called old boy, just
• 44:58
  stuff like that. So that's not surprising me
• 45:00
  anymore. Either there was an American
• 45:02
  remake, the good doctor and they keep saying they want to remake
• 45:06
  train to Busan, they better not so, all right, if I see an
• 45:10
  American remake of train Busan. Oh my gosh.
• 45:12
  I think we should just let the Koreans do the zombie
• 45:15
  apocalyptic stuff, because they really have mastered it.
• 45:19
  A pretty good job of it. I'm not gonna lie.
• 45:22
  Yeah. Speaks you don't watch that but
• 45:25
  you're missing out add to that, okay?
• 45:32
  Apparently, the new show that they released on Netflix.
• 45:35
  What is it called? All all of us are dead, right?
• 45:38
  That's the title. Yes.
• 45:39
  Which I heard is it real? It's like the they don't
• 45:42
  understand where they got that title from, because the Korean
• 45:45
  title, like, when it's translated, it doesn't mean the
• 45:47
  same thing, and I remember that, A big criticism of Netflix when
• 45:51
  squid game is really popular. How like, Netflix isn't really
• 45:56
  there being really lazy with the subtitle title as far as the
• 46:00
  translation and stuff like that, which I understand there's some
• 46:02
  stuff that's hard to translate all the way through.
• 46:05
  But even I noticed that like, when I'm watching certain things
• 46:07
  on Netflix when they translate like words that I've picked up
• 46:11
  because I'm studying it, I'm like that's not what they said
• 46:13
  or like. That's not what that word means
• 46:15
  so I'm watching this movie. I don't know if that was the
• 46:18
  same because I don't No Hindi, and this is my first time really
• 46:21
  hearing it. So I'm like, I hope these
• 46:23
  translations of the subtitles are like close to Accurate which
• 46:28
  kind of is. And I'm going to ask you now
• 46:30
  before I forget, is it calming to switch back and forth like
• 46:34
  they're doing it that movie because at first, it was throw
• 46:36
  me off really badly from Hindi to English, it's super common.
• 46:41
  Okay, I was so confused because you have to remember, India was
• 46:45
  colonized by the British. So there's a lot of like English
• 46:49
  word replacements for Hindi words so it's very common to go
• 46:54
  back and forth between Indian English.
• 46:56
  Like I do it all the time. Yeah, I wanted to bring that up
• 46:59
  because I don't know about you guys but since I know you both
• 47:02
  have studied Korean a little bit more than I have.
• 47:04
  But when I watch or when I watch anime or I watch kdramas, I am
• 47:10
  listening to what they're saying, like, I'm hearing
• 47:12
  everything, but at the same time, I'm kind of focused on the
• 47:16
  subtitle. So my inner monologue, like I
• 47:21
  can hear myself reading the subtitles.
• 47:23
  So when they were switching back and forth and there weren't any
• 47:26
  subtitles, I'm like, was I listening?
• 47:27
  I don't know if I heard what they said in English, because I
• 47:30
  was so focused on reading the subtitles and my, the voice in
• 47:34
  my head is a little bit louder than what I'm hearing on the
• 47:36
  screen. So like, I don't know if you
• 47:39
  Simone it, or if you had trouble with like switching back and
• 47:43
  forth because I kind of quiet what the show is saying and
• 47:46
  listen to myself reading those. Mm who's Or I think because
• 47:51
  since I started watching like I'm not gonna lie, I don't watch
• 47:55
  a lot of English or American shows anymore.
• 48:00
  Like I have in the past, maybe two years watching a lot of
• 48:05
  international shows, whether it is like more anime or like
• 48:09
  Korean drama. So I think I've gotten to the
• 48:11
  point where like I have been able to do both at the same time
• 48:17
  like read and then watch and then also While I'm listening
• 48:19
  specially from watching, Korean dramas, surprisingly like, try
• 48:26
  to listen to the Korean War to see if I can understand what
• 48:29
  they're saying, without really having to watch the subtitles to
• 48:32
  see if the subtitles are like accurate to what they're
• 48:35
  actually saying or not. If that makes sense, right, I
• 48:39
  definitely watch way more International shows now, like I
• 48:42
  don't watch TV in general and I've gotten much better at
• 48:45
  reading subtitles where I can like they're in the like the
• 48:48
  bottom of the screen. I don't need to be looking
• 48:50
  directly at them like I can be watching and picking up what
• 48:53
  they're saying. But like I don't always like
• 48:57
  with this movie, this was a new language for me.
• 48:59
  So I went back to like yeah I went back to like the way that I
• 49:02
  used to read it to where like I'm kind of more focused on the
• 49:05
  subtitles and like less listening to act what they're
• 49:08
  actually like I'm listening but I'm not picking up the like
• 49:13
  individual words as much as I want to be like a crucial
• 49:16
  language but you're more focused on Probably so watch it because
• 49:21
  you're just focus on reading. I get that right right wearing
• 49:25
  crew with Korean it's like I know a lot of like the common
• 49:27
  phrases like are you hungry? How are you feeling?
• 49:30
  Are you know like stuff like that or like pronouns.
• 49:33
  Like I've mom dad sister brother like I pick up on all that stuff
• 49:37
  that I don't need to like read it where this when it was
• 49:40
  switching back and forth. I was so focused on the
• 49:42
  translation that wouldn't Woods which day was.
• 49:44
  I'm like, I don't think I heard what they just said, I get that.
• 49:49
  Yeah, I will admit they do it. They do it kind of quickly
• 49:51
  though, it was so fast. It was like most English.
• 49:55
  I was like, wait to text you but I was like I'm, you know, maybe
• 50:03
  I'll say this for the podcast because I'm like, is this an
• 50:05
  actual common thing? Like in the actual like an
• 50:08
  actual India? Or is this like a movie thing
• 50:11
  but it would make more sense if this is common like it's still
• 50:14
  saying no. Like I personally do it and they
• 50:17
  did. They didn't like subtitle the
• 50:20
  English either so like which is just here in English.
• 50:23
  You should just they spoke in English.
• 50:24
  Sometimes they did though because there's some points
• 50:26
  where they send us the exact subtitle in English, there is a
• 50:29
  word in the middle of the sentence that was English.
• 50:31
  They would put it. But if it was a whole sentence
• 50:33
  in English, it just wasn't subtitle.
• 50:35
  So, like I would be like, oh, where'd it go?
• 50:36
  And then I would, my brain would realize that it all that was
• 50:39
  English. So, you know, actually as a
• 50:42
  person who watches him the movies, that's not something
• 50:46
  that I noticed. Myself doing, like, you know,
• 50:49
  how you mentioned. Like, you always have to train
• 50:51
  yourself to go back to English. Like, for me, it was just such
• 50:54
  an easy transition because like, I hear it all the time, but I
• 50:57
  didn't realize it would be like more of a problem for someone
• 51:00
  who's like, easy to the language, you grew up with the
• 51:03
  language, right? Yeah, so I grew up with the
• 51:06
  language but I don't know how to write it and I don't know how to
• 51:09
  read it. I can just speak it, right?
• 51:11
  Well, that's kind of like my grandma.
• 51:12
  She is from Germany. She grew up there.
• 51:14
  She spent most of her, like young.
• 51:17
  Adult life there and then she moved to a to America.
• 51:21
  And so when she speaks a lot of the time, it's in broken German
• 51:24
  and English and even though I don't I would not consider
• 51:27
  myself fluent in German, but I've heard her speak it so much
• 51:30
  that I pretty much know what she's saying, but she switches
• 51:33
  back and forth between German and English like nothing.
• 51:36
  So like I'm used to that but it's a language that I was
• 51:39
  around and that I heard so that makes sense.
• 51:41
  That you wouldn't have a problem with that because you know, like
• 51:44
  you were so used to this switch and by the end of the movie,
• 51:47
  See, I was getting the hang of it, but it at first I was like,
• 51:50
  I need to go back. I didn't hear what they say
• 51:53
  about 15 minutes. I was kind of like, what?
• 51:56
  We just like a bilingual thing, maybe, and that's why I like
• 52:00
  especially with studying another language I have to I don't know
• 52:03
  if they tell you that or not because that's the point where I
• 52:06
  have to get like when I'm learning the language, I want to
• 52:08
  try to get to the point where I don't have to rely of going back
• 52:11
  to English to see if I understand it, I can just hear
• 52:15
  the original language and be able to And it.
• 52:18
  So that also is taking a while, not to mention, I always stop
• 52:22
  back and forth and I'm trying to do like three at once on my own
• 52:25
  time. But you know what three are you
• 52:28
  doing? Well, my main focus right now
• 52:30
  because I've been setting it for so long is Korean but like I
• 52:34
  would like to know Japanese a little bit and always wanted to
• 52:38
  that one's a little bit harder because when they start getting
• 52:40
  to the kanji characters, I'm kind of because it's Chinese
• 52:44
  characters. But like, pronounced like in.
• 52:46
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 52:47
  Yeah, that that's still confuses me and kind of want to go back
• 52:51
  to try to learn Spanish again. Even though I feel like high
• 52:54
  school kind of like not turn me off the Spanish but like,
• 52:57
  especially where I live like in being in Florida, Florida.
• 53:00
  You know, you we have a lot of Hispanics here and I know in my
• 53:03
  old job like when we have Spanish like guests come in,
• 53:07
  like I always wanted to try to like speak to them in Spanish so
• 53:11
  they understood but like I barely know anything.
• 53:13
  So it's just stuff. My job really would be the most
• 53:16
  useful here I think. Just because it's so common.
• 53:19
  You know, it's on my list to. Sorry, go ahead, you're good.
• 53:22
  I was just gonna say, a lot of places will even pay you more at
• 53:25
  your job. If you can speak Spanish because
• 53:27
  you can accommodate more people so because it's so common here.
• 53:32
  Yeah. Like you would think Spanish
• 53:33
  should be my second that I want to learn.
• 53:35
  But just because like I said, I've been studying Korean for so
• 53:39
  long and I feel like I've learned so much, I don't want to
• 53:42
  lose what I've learned. So I'm know we're comfortable
• 53:45
  with speaking it but like I can Read it pretty well.
• 53:49
  And I here I can understand like the individual words a little
• 53:53
  bit better, but I can't translate it that quickly.
• 53:56
  So that's so I just don't want to lose my progress.
• 53:59
  Pretty good position to be in. Yeah, I still have a long way to
• 54:03
  go like if I'm probably at like, first grade level so I'm being
• 54:08
  honest. But it's better than nothing for
• 54:10
  us. That would be considered
• 54:12
  intermediate, though, because you're not beginner.
• 54:14
  No, I'd say I'm probably between like advanced. and like
• 54:18
  intermediate, like I still have trouble trying to form sentences
• 54:22
  on my own, but I know, I pretty much know the basic sentences
• 54:27
  now and I've no a couple complex sentences but like you try to
• 54:31
  talk to me in a paragraph and you lose me so anything more
• 54:35
  than like three consecutive sentences so kind of like okay,
• 54:39
  wait, keep it short and sweet and one slow now because like I
• 54:44
  feel like every other language besides English speaks so fast,
• 54:47
  Fast. So that's another thing, too.
• 54:49
  I'm not used to the fast pace but I guess that's because I'm
• 54:53
  the native English speaker. I think we speak slow and we
• 54:57
  might actually speak fast like if there's anyone that's
• 55:00
  listening to us, who's not that strong in English?
• 55:02
  My think now that I'm speaking pretty fast, but I don't think I
• 55:06
  am. It's just one of those space.
• 55:08
  English is the hardest language to learn but I think that's
• 55:10
  because of all of the like the double meaning words, you know,
• 55:13
  the structure. There's like three words.
• 55:15
  That's are exactly the same that all me different things.
• 55:17
  There's anything there. Yeah, I think one like the range
• 55:21
  of words is like really big but English itself.
• 55:24
  I don't know. Yeah.
• 55:25
  English itself is pretty tough and then when you kick in like
• 55:27
  the slang words, that's like what.
• 55:30
  Yeah, yeah that's another thing too.
• 55:32
  Like when I speak to people that don't understand English that
• 55:34
  well I have to remember like I don't realize I speak in so much
• 55:37
  slang than I actually do. So I have to catch myself there
• 55:41
  and especially just like I don't know if I ever told you this is
• 55:44
  the feast but I remember one time working at the library Oh,
• 55:47
  and these two girls made, like, you know, reservation for one of
• 55:51
  the study rooms study things that we had.
• 55:54
  So I was like, okay. Did you like book a session and
• 55:59
  the study rooms and they don't understand what I meant when I
• 56:01
  said booked the room. So that also is kind of slang
• 56:05
  itself. But how else would you make that
• 56:07
  0? You would probably just say did
• 56:09
  you make a reservation? Yeah, yeah Reserve.
• 56:12
  Yeah, that's true. That's that's something that you
• 56:14
  have to, like, think about to catch yourself, is there?
• 56:17
  I'm confused. I thought I meant like the
• 56:18
  actual books like behind me so they know what I meant by like
• 56:22
  oh you both like a you book. Time for the study room.
• 56:27
  I forgot what they called it. I can see why that would be
• 56:29
  confusing. It's like I'm here for studying
• 56:31
  room. Why she asking me about books?
• 56:34
  Yeah, that makes sense to me a while.
• 56:38
  Alright, so going back to know me.
• 56:47
  He's like off with our language discourse.
• 56:49
  I like, but it still goes because we're talking about an
• 56:52
  international movie. Yeah, so that's true.
• 56:53
  That's true. So yeah, we have a point there.
• 56:55
  We're just bad at tangents. We are we go on like 10 to the
• 56:59
  tangent 50 Min tangents me conversations fun, guys.
• 57:03
  Okay great, so the more the merrier keeps them.
• 57:05
  Interesting. Yes.
• 57:10
  Before we do any more new groups, I felt like it'd be
• 57:13
  appropriate to kind of do like, a ketchup on the group's.
• 57:16
  We already did to see like where they are now where we left off.
• 57:20
  Like after we played the game, things like that.
• 57:24
  So yeah, because we always start each one of those episodes with
• 57:27
  a little bit of research on the groups and except for BTS, which
• 57:31
  I kind of feel bad for it up. Like I beat I feel like my
• 57:36
  heart's of heart, everyone knows though.
• 57:37
  But like some types, not everyone.
• 57:40
  Does and I also feel like the reason I did that was our first
• 57:44
  episode. So we really hadn't gotten in
• 57:46
  our groove of what we wanted to do with it.
• 57:48
  That's true. So they just have so much music
• 57:50
  that was like four episodes long.
• 57:52
  Just getting through the songs like not messing around with
• 57:55
  anything. Yeah technically 5 so the lake
• 57:58
  that's a lot of content to get through and I don't know if
• 58:03
  spending 30 minutes talking about just them in general and
• 58:06
  most people know who they are, especially if they're listening
• 58:08
  to an episode about them. I don't know, and we talked
• 58:11
  about them all the time. So like he get things, you know,
• 58:14
  I don't think it was as necessary with them, but I think
• 58:17
  so either, I just wasn't sure because I felt bad because we
• 58:19
  did do a little introduction of like, oh here's the members,
• 58:22
  here's their names, the company. They're from how they built
• 58:26
  their company because we all know they built high.
• 58:28
  But don't argue with me on that because we all know it's true,
• 58:33
  things like that. So it's fine because technically
• 58:36
  we talked about all the members when we talked about our Concert
• 58:40
  Experience. And then we talked about, you
• 58:43
  know, I haven't listened to like early early episodes in a while
• 58:48
  like cuz when I did the 2021 recap, it was only episodes we
• 58:51
  put out in 2021 and a pretty much started with the BTS game.
• 58:56
  So like the ones before that I kind of haven't listened to.
• 58:59
  I'm kind of afraid to listen to because I mean we didn't talk
• 59:02
  about like letting go in depth of each person but I know for a
• 59:05
  fact we said each person's name and then we filmed like a like
• 59:10
  Like a extra thing to put in because we didn't talk about, I
• 59:13
  don't remember which person it was now, but we didn't talk
• 59:16
  about one person. I think it may have been gin.
• 59:19
  We didn't talk about it, my whole lot.
• 59:20
  So we recorded like a snippet and put it in there.
• 59:24
  But yeah, I think we tried to talk about each member and that
• 59:26
  further stages though we didn't talk about like, like the other
• 59:30
  groups like they're starting. Stuff heard each person's name.
• 59:33
  That's true. I'm like, what?
• 59:34
  That's what I said, like we didn't wouldn't go in depth with
• 59:37
  each person but we talked about each person Their name and
• 59:40
  stuff. And like may see also says we
• 59:43
  also talked about them a lot. I'll tie the game is pretty
• 59:45
  sure. There's like every episode we do
• 59:48
  there's bts's mentioned it before it breaks it up.
• 59:56
  So we have flake. What we have two episodes just
• 1:00:00
  dedicated on the R&B album and me and Briana has like an almost
• 1:00:04
  three hours episode on the concerts content on.
• 1:00:09
  This channel. So like I said that like,
• 1:00:12
  literally, I think in the trailer before we even started
• 1:00:15
  making episode, I was like if I bring up the three letters BTS,
• 1:00:19
  um, you know, just going to be used to it, accept it.
• 1:00:23
  That's just accepted at this point.
• 1:00:26
  I Can't Help It. Anyway, needless to say, I think
• 1:00:28
  we've talked about them plenty and he talked about Morris just
• 1:00:31
  going to be extra, so I just wanted to make sure.
• 1:00:34
  Yeah, but yes. On September 24th BTS released,
• 1:00:42
  a collaboration song with the famous British band Coldplay.
• 1:00:47
  The song was also reached number one on Billboard Hot 100 and it
• 1:00:51
  was cold place. First song to hit the Hot 100,
• 1:00:55
  since 2008. So since 2008, they haven't had
• 1:00:57
  a song reached America did 100 number one.
• 1:01:02
  So we play this song in my work all the time.
• 1:01:04
  I'll do, they were so excited. Yeah, it's so excited.
• 1:01:07
  Don't hear you. First that much out in public,
• 1:01:11
  surprisingly. One time I went out, this is an
• 1:01:14
  older song. I was, I think the Macy's store
• 1:01:18
  in my area was closing down and we were shopping, you know, like
• 1:01:22
  the last minute giveaway, like, get it now before we're gone,
• 1:01:26
  and I heard wasted on me playing played in the store.
• 1:01:29
  Oh, yeah. So yesterday there's there's
• 1:01:32
  three songs that I've heard that our Kpop related.
• 1:01:35
  It was Universe, they play teeth.
• 1:01:38
  He's Look a lot at my really? Yeah, it is on English soil,
• 1:01:42
  that surprise. I understand that.
• 1:01:43
  Yeah, I heard a Jackson Wang song Yesterday, really did.
• 1:01:47
  He decided to let me love you or whatever.
• 1:01:49
  It's I'm forgetting. You know, that is a good retail
• 1:01:51
  song to be honest. Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  So I was so excited. I'm like why is this person
• 1:01:56
  sound familiar? And then I like stopped when I
• 1:01:58
  was doing I like this is Jack's away playing.
• 1:02:02
  Like sometimes we gotta stop and like look around, you know, that
• 1:02:06
  happened to me one time to in college.
• 1:02:08
  I was at a YMCA that we were able to use for free because it
• 1:02:13
  was associated with the college and I was working out and I
• 1:02:16
  think I stopped my music and all of a sudden I could have sworn,
• 1:02:20
  I heard fake love being played and I was like, wait a minute,
• 1:02:23
  my phone's not playing and I took out my headphones and they
• 1:02:25
  were playing fake. Love at the YMCA, I know Civ, I
• 1:02:30
  was also in Orlando. So like it must be an army
• 1:02:33
  because like you know, there's no English version of Fake love.
• 1:02:39
  So it's like hello. Who is the secret army here?
• 1:02:42
  I see the dirt, you know, they're easy to point out.
• 1:02:45
  If you know what you're looking for, right?
• 1:02:47
  As far as everywhere artworks goes like I'm pretty sure our
• 1:02:52
  music. He's down by corporate though so
• 1:02:53
  there's nobody because there is you know, people who know BPS
• 1:02:57
  that I work with but they don't have anything to do with what
• 1:02:59
  music is playing. Right?
• 1:03:01
  So I thought that was pretty cool and I was very surprised by
• 1:03:03
  The Jacksons long because I heard his voice and I'm like
• 1:03:06
  that sounds like Jackson way but there's no way it is, right?
• 1:03:08
  So I stopped, I'm stupid, but they're also playing like other
• 1:03:12
  K-pop groups or List. Like, I mean, Jackie, I don't
• 1:03:15
  think Jackson would be considered Kpop anymore but
• 1:03:17
  still yeah. I mean, he's definitely turning
• 1:03:21
  into more mainstream but he that's where he started from.
• 1:03:24
  So I just like hearing him doing the crossover stuff, that's
• 1:03:27
  really cool. Like the laws.
• 1:03:33
  I don't know how cold it's going over a year up, so I'm not sure
• 1:03:35
  if this is going to get postponed or not, but we have
• 1:03:38
  until May. What is what, three months away?
• 1:03:41
  Yeah, I should know. This may that's when I'll be
• 1:03:46
  turning the big, the big 25 couple months for me and I don't
• 1:03:52
  feel any different. So I probably won't either.
• 1:03:55
  But, like, it's just, it's just a mental thing.
• 1:03:57
  Like, I still don't know you like I do.
• 1:03:59
  If I feel like I'm 24, I I feel like I'm like 60?
• 1:04:03
  Yeah, pretty much. So, yeah, 25 guys, but that's it
• 1:04:08
  for yugyeom. So, hopefully it goes, well, I'm
• 1:04:11
  not sure if it's like a Content concert or dislike a fan Meetup
• 1:04:15
  or like, if it's going to be with other people, but look out
• 1:04:18
  for you via meets Germany. Lucky Germany, right?
• 1:04:23
  Can you do it Yugi? I'm meets Florida, right?
• 1:04:26
  Just don't get anything good. Come on.
• 1:04:30
  I'm so upset. I have to miss one us in a
• 1:04:34
  couple weeks. If I didn't start my new job,
• 1:04:37
  I'd be there in a heartbeat, but I can't go see them because
• 1:04:40
  they'll be in our Land O on the 22nd.
• 1:04:42
  Probably, either around the time this episode comes out or after.
• 1:04:46
  But I'm missing one us and I already missed 80s here numb.
• 1:04:51
  That'll be fun. Yeah, that will be fun.
• 1:04:54
  I'm looking forward to it. I am too.
• 1:04:56
  Hopefully we'll do an episode on that.
• 1:04:59
  I'm not sure if it'll be like concert.
• 1:05:01
  And the game because I know we wanted to play the game with him
• 1:05:04
  also or if it'll just be talking about the concert and we'll get
• 1:05:07
  brand on that as well because she's also going to be there.
• 1:05:10
  So see he seems to be having a fun time for what I can see from
• 1:05:14
  the pictures. Oh my gosh because I see clips
• 1:05:20
  of him at his concerts all the time on Tick-Tock.
• 1:05:22
  He's he's basically it's basically a stand-up comedian
• 1:05:26
  that also sings pretty much. That's pretty much what it is.
• 1:05:31
  It's basically You're just going there for a stand-up comedian
• 1:05:35
  who occasionally dances and sings like every like 10 or 15
• 1:05:40
  minutes. Yeah, no, I'm really looking
• 1:05:42
  forward to it. Okay.
• 1:05:43
  But that is all the members of Got7.
• 1:05:46
  Hmm. I'm just going to say this now,
• 1:05:52
  I'm sorry in advance if I butcher the Korean language,
• 1:05:57
  like I've been doing I'm trying and also just because this is it
• 1:06:01
  a language that I mean the three of us watched Korean, you know,
• 1:06:06
  shows but like we discussed when we did the Bollywood one, some
• 1:06:10
  things could be Lost in Translation.
• 1:06:12
  So we are like as far as our understanding going off of like
• 1:06:15
  the English translations, and maybe some understanding of some
• 1:06:19
  Korean words, we know No. Just in case we talk about
• 1:06:23
  something and it was like mistranslated or wasn't
• 1:06:25
  translated correctly. I just felt like I should say
• 1:06:27
  that. So yeah, be warned.
• 1:06:31
  Yeah, Peter Ward doing a lot of talking again y'all know how
• 1:06:35
  that goes. It's okay makes for great
• 1:06:38
  content. My stumbling makes for great
• 1:06:40
  content. Thanks to Feast.
• 1:06:42
  That's not what I said lead to other conversations which here's
• 1:06:47
  to Great content. Yeah, it's all.
• 1:06:50
  Oaks. It's all jokes all of here.
• 1:06:53
  Mmm. Okay.
• 1:06:59
  Okay. So the film adaptation was
• 1:07:03
  directed and written by a park yeongjin and I'm going to go
• 1:07:07
  ahead and talk about the cast. So jung-gu is played by so he
• 1:07:12
  owned or Soju here on who I didn't know this K-pop fans
• 1:07:19
  don't come for me is a member of Girls Generation so she did look
• 1:07:25
  super familiar but I did not know that.
• 1:07:29
  Time I seen her before you might have seen her in an old girls
• 1:07:33
  generation music video. I don't know.
• 1:07:35
  I definitely did not recognize her but I also haven't watched a
• 1:07:39
  lot of Girls Generation like music videos video or song.
• 1:07:44
  So that's why I say K-pop fans especially second gen.
• 1:07:46
  Don't come for me. I actually didn't recognize her
• 1:07:51
  until I read the description. I'm like, okay, how many ya r +
• 1:07:57
  Girls Generation? Isn't that like nine of them?
• 1:08:02
  There's quite a few me. I don't, I didn't, I don't know
• 1:08:05
  much about them. I just knew that I had seen her
• 1:08:07
  before, but I didn't put the pieces together because I don't
• 1:08:11
  really follow Girls Generation or know their names or anything.
• 1:08:14
  So, I only know today on that's disgust she still makes music so
• 1:08:18
  mmm. But yes.
• 1:08:21
  So that's our lead actress. Jungjie who is played by June or
• 1:08:28
  e jinyoung? Who I guess is also another
• 1:08:31
  Idol. He was a member of the boy band,
• 1:08:34
  you kiss and I know you kiss is a little bit older.
• 1:08:37
  So we had two former Idol leads in this movie guys.
• 1:08:42
  Again, did not know he was an idol either.
• 1:08:44
  I didn't know that there and I haven't heard of that group.
• 1:08:47
  Yeah, I've heard of that group, I don't know.
• 1:08:50
  I couldn't tell you a song. I just know when I used to
• 1:08:53
  listen to Eric nam's podcast, he had a friend named Kevin who, I
• 1:08:57
  guess, was also a member and you kissed.
• 1:08:59
  Came on. What's the only reason I know
• 1:09:01
  about that group? Okay, great.
• 1:09:04
  I was going to bring up. Do you think I know they're both
• 1:09:07
  like, kind of not performing anymore?
• 1:09:09
  But do you think this would be? I feel like this would be kind
• 1:09:12
  of a risky role for an idol. To take a look at current title.
• 1:09:16
  Yeah, that's true. Actually, I didn't think about
• 1:09:18
  that, um, like because it's a more taboo subject.
• 1:09:22
  You think it's riskier for their careers and they're like images
• 1:09:25
  as an idol. Yeah.
• 1:09:27
  Especially the ways Idols are like, Marketed as well.
• 1:09:31
  It definitely centralized, but not in that manner, like, it's
• 1:09:35
  and isn't that weird, like, they're sexualized.
• 1:09:37
  But then, like they're not sexualized, like if you Embrace
• 1:09:40
  their Sex Lies a shit about it. Like, they're, they're innocent.
• 1:09:43
  They can't date. They're Innocent but we're going
• 1:09:46
  to sexualize them anyway, and show their bodies off and
• 1:09:48
  whatnot, but they can't have relationships or actual sex.
• 1:09:52
  We don't talk about that. Valid.
• 1:10:01
  So I don't know. And I'm, you would have to think
• 1:10:04
  like what type of items obviously has to be the older
• 1:10:06
  Idols because, you know, Idols being debut now or a lot
• 1:10:10
  younger. So you have to think the ones
• 1:10:12
  that are around our age and like the third and second generation
• 1:10:15
  groups. But like, also, I feel like a
• 1:10:19
  lot of those groups have older fans like us.
• 1:10:22
  So maybe it wouldn't have been that bad.
• 1:10:25
  I really don't know. I couldn't tell you, he's
• 1:10:27
  example like Jinyoung. He's an idol.
• 1:10:31
  That is still kind of active, even though their group
• 1:10:34
  disbanded and he's acting, if he had taken a role like this, do
• 1:10:37
  you think it would have affected his like, Got7 fan base at all?
• 1:10:43
  Well, do you think it would? Because you're more of like an
• 1:10:46
  Agave than I am. So I wouldn't, I think my
• 1:10:49
  perception of him but I don't know about the rest of the
• 1:10:52
  fandom. True.
• 1:10:55
  And that also be like what the difference between International
• 1:10:58
  fans and Korean fans to. You have to think but I also
• 1:11:01
  don't like I don't like The Stereotype that they can't have
• 1:11:05
  relationships, either, you know what I mean?
• 1:11:07
  So I personally know it would not affect my thought, but I
• 1:11:12
  know that I feel like K-pop Idols can get in controversy at
• 1:11:17
  the drop of a hat. So, like, I think, I think, if I
• 1:11:21
  were him, I wouldn't take that risk.
• 1:11:23
  I get that it Probably is better since they're both.
• 1:11:25
  Kind of like they've been acting more their little bit older that
• 1:11:30
  they don't really have to think. I mean I feel like it was still
• 1:11:34
  a risk either way, but there are still active in their groups.
• 1:11:37
  I see where you're talking about Because Idols, I know for a fact
• 1:11:44
  idols and like actors or treated completely differently over
• 1:11:47
  there. So like actors people don't
• 1:11:50
  really care about all the stuff you just said, but Idols, they
• 1:11:54
  do why? I don't know, they just do the
• 1:11:58
  way. I mean, it's a risk.
• 1:12:00
  It's a risk for any actor too, though.
• 1:12:01
  Because once you play a certain role, I feel like a lot of times
• 1:12:05
  like they're really popular actresses and actors.
• 1:12:07
  You see, they get roped into a certain type of Actor.
• 1:12:12
  And you don't necessarily want to like, limit yourself to like,
• 1:12:15
  oh, this is the character I play.
• 1:12:16
  I can only play that type of character, so I feel like taking
• 1:12:20
  on such a taboo subject in society can limit you, it can be
• 1:12:25
  a risk, no matter who you are. But I mean, just look at.
• 1:12:28
  I feel like you could say that like actors here like look at
• 1:12:31
  Tobey Maguire feel, like, people still see, I'm Spider-Man.
• 1:12:34
  It doesn't help me just play Spider-Man recently, but face
• 1:12:39
  like such a major role. No one is going to see.
• 1:12:42
  Besides that role, you're always going to be compared to that
• 1:12:45
  one. So like I feel like it's a risk
• 1:12:47
  because now they're always going to be compared to this role
• 1:12:50
  because it's probably the most really don't feel like it.
• 1:12:53
  Especially I don't feel like this movie is big enough for
• 1:12:56
  that has gotten traction, but I don't think it's as popular to
• 1:12:59
  where they have to worry about that.
• 1:13:02
  And I feel like our minds kind of just like, I don't know, I
• 1:13:06
  don't feel like I think if this was a show it probably would
• 1:13:11
  have had a more negative effect on them.
• 1:13:13
  But since it's just a movie, I I don't think so.
• 1:13:17
  I hope it doesn't, but I'm just, you know.
• 1:13:19
  Yeah it is a question that I thought of I'm like, is this
• 1:13:21
  going to affect future casting for them?
• 1:13:24
  And honestly, I haven't really seen that many bad reviews on
• 1:13:28
  this movie. Like, when I was doing my
• 1:13:30
  research, a lot of people actually really like it.
• 1:13:32
  And it's actually got a pretty good like reviews.
• 1:13:35
  As far as ratings and everything.
• 1:13:37
  So it's well done in my band is so I don't think they really
• 1:13:41
  have to worry about that. Personally, if it was if it was
• 1:13:46
  viewed more negatively than yeah, I could see that.
• 1:13:48
  But as far as just me observing the reviews sinks like I haven't
• 1:13:54
  read any like too many articles about people's opinions but so
• 1:13:58
  far I haven't really heard anything too bad about this.
• 1:14:01
  So if anything it seems like more people are open to these
• 1:14:05
  type of subjects being talked about and like TV shows and
• 1:14:09
  movies. So yeah.
• 1:14:17
  Do you brings up the fact once the like boss said, all that,
• 1:14:22
  like they maxed out the company's credit card as well as
• 1:14:25
  an issue that they're having with a YouTuber for the channel
• 1:14:28
  That I guess they want to try to have come on there as like a
• 1:14:30
  guest and then her boss immediately becomes like
• 1:14:34
  defensive goes in the attack of like accusing her of bringing
• 1:14:37
  the mood down. He the YouTuber that she just
• 1:14:41
  mentioned, has a lot of subscribers.
• 1:14:43
  She just doesn't personally like him.
• 1:14:45
  But I mean, she also Brings up a good point.
• 1:14:47
  That like, it may not be smart to have someone who's homophobic
• 1:14:50
  on an educational show and then you steps up and tell them to
• 1:14:55
  think about the risk factor and the benefits of having the
• 1:14:58
  YouTuber for the channel and the boss goes back on my career and
• 1:15:01
  of how gu needs to be more like him.
• 1:15:03
  If she was more polite and talked with the smile, she
• 1:15:08
  wouldn't be killing the officer have something to say about
• 1:15:10
  that. Being nice and cute.
• 1:15:12
  Can get you a long way and having a tea work and having
• 1:15:16
  Teamwork is what keeps a nice work environment which is hard
• 1:15:19
  when there's so many women working at the office, so that's
• 1:15:22
  guys know. Let's hear yours smile and
• 1:15:25
  immediately hate you, punched him when I saw him, say, work
• 1:15:31
  with the smile, and women can understand my pain.
• 1:15:35
  When it, anybody especially men tell you, that you need to smile
• 1:15:39
  more because you're more approachable, if he's knows this
• 1:15:43
  helmet on whole rant. When a man told me, there's at
• 1:15:45
  my old job. Yeah, I'm not doing anything to
• 1:15:49
  you. My damn business.
• 1:15:51
  You're lucky. I'm trying to help you because I
• 1:15:52
  want to keep this job because I need to make money.
• 1:15:58
  Yeah, I hate that phrase so much.
• 1:16:01
  I hate I hate when people tell me I need to smile for them or
• 1:16:05
  if I smile I'll be more like approachable and people would
• 1:16:09
  want to talk to me more, but that's the goal though.
• 1:16:11
  You don't want to be more approachable.
• 1:16:14
  Exactly. Please don't talk to me but I
• 1:16:16
  think it wouldn't be as annoying if it was equally distributed
• 1:16:20
  because I do agree with like if I'm trying to like go up to
• 1:16:24
  someone to help them in like a retail environment.
• 1:16:27
  Fireman. I do find that smiling helps and
• 1:16:30
  like eye contact. There are certain like there are
• 1:16:33
  certain social cues that you give to people to show that
• 1:16:37
  you're willing to help them. But don't tell me to do it
• 1:16:39
  because I immediately don't want to do it.
• 1:16:41
  And if you're going to tell people to do it, you need to
• 1:16:43
  tell it equally like the whole place.
• 1:16:46
  It doesn't like, women should just be quieter and smile and
• 1:16:49
  look pretty and you'll get more done.
• 1:16:50
  Is so stupid. This is my, my my that's my main
• 1:16:55
  annoyance with that whole thing. Just because it's mostly is
• 1:16:58
  directed to women of like telling them.
• 1:17:02
  You know. Basically everything makes you
• 1:17:04
  look a certain way. Yes.
• 1:17:06
  Get anything where men can just do whatever the heck they want.
• 1:17:10
  Not they can't, but they is portrayed that way and sometimes
• 1:17:14
  it's mostly applied for like we have to do this if we want the
• 1:17:18
  male attention, as if that's just our goal in life.
• 1:17:20
  It's just the old Lee please. And so, which is not.
• 1:17:26
  And then his Whole rant also about like complaining, how he
• 1:17:29
  works with a bunch of women, as if women are incapable of doing
• 1:17:34
  their job or because there's so many women there, he's basically
• 1:17:36
  implying like women have so many emotions.
• 1:17:39
  They're like, he just can't keep up or like it makes it
• 1:17:42
  impossible to work there. I mean he could move to a
• 1:17:45
  different job maybe you should not also bring that up so he
• 1:17:54
  could be making more than everybody and that's why he's
• 1:17:56
  not leaving. He probably actually women there
• 1:17:59
  so the manager. Right?
• 1:18:02
  Yeah. Also mine.
• 1:18:03
  I said, if he was like the team leaves, but he's basically like
• 1:18:06
  the manager I'm assuming. He's like the head of mostly
• 1:18:09
  everyone there and did department.
• 1:18:10
  So weird automatically makes him think that he's better than
• 1:18:13
  everyone else because he's got a Billy Idol because like you, you
• 1:18:17
  see it too. If you watch the movie, his
• 1:18:19
  reaction when he is talking to Geo.
• 1:18:22
  And then if G who says something, how his mood also
• 1:18:25
  automatically changes because it Like, oh, listen to the man,
• 1:18:28
  like, he knows what he's saying. Yeah, I think he also has a
• 1:18:31
  particular issue with her because she is a stronger woman
• 1:18:37
  who refuses to just do what she's told.
• 1:18:40
  So, like he/she Rivals, what he is telling her to do.
• 1:18:44
  So it just makes him want to conform her more because and
• 1:18:48
  like you saw how he changed when Jill was like, oh you better
• 1:18:52
  watch what you say to them because telling the IQ itself
• 1:18:55
  that could be considered sexual harassment.
• 1:18:57
  Moment and he's like you know I was I was testing you.
• 1:18:59
  You did a good job. Yeah.
• 1:19:02
  Captain I'm just making sure I was like yeah, sure your buddy
• 1:19:07
  but anywhere Hi, and welcome back to.
• 1:19:13
  I was thinking my name is new piece and I'm Simone and welcome
• 1:19:18
  back. Guys.
• 1:19:19
  Yeah, as you can tell, from the tone of our voice has.
• 1:19:23
  It's been a week. Well, it's been a couple weeks
• 1:19:25
  but it's just bit. Yeah, a couple of weeks I'm so
• 1:19:28
  tired. How are you Simone?
• 1:19:30
  I'm I'm not good. I'm not gonna lie, talk to us.
• 1:19:34
  It's bad out here guys. I'm not even tired, like
• 1:19:38
  physically tired. I'm just mentally drained. from
• 1:19:43
  a lot personally and just Yeah, just a lot going on.
• 1:19:49
  What going on? People are rude.
• 1:19:54
  People are rude and I try to be like definitely.
• 1:19:57
  Yeah. And I try to be like the benefit
• 1:19:59
  of the doubt like, oh, you do not know.
• 1:20:01
  People are rude. People are mean if there's a
• 1:20:04
  study out there of like, what type of kicks people get out of
• 1:20:08
  just being like the worst, please send it to me because I
• 1:20:11
  really like to study up more on this because I still don't
• 1:20:14
  understand. Like comment.
• 1:20:16
  Yeah, decency and Common Sense has been lost on us.
• 1:20:21
  I agree. I'm noticing that more and more.
• 1:20:24
  It's really Achilles like eight expecially what?
• 1:20:27
  I'm not even being rude back. I only be rude back when you're
• 1:20:30
  like, giving that energy to me, and I don't like being brewed
• 1:20:33
  back. My, the only person who like,
• 1:20:35
  feels bad but I'm rude to people.
• 1:20:39
  Um, I feel bad when I'm rude to people only if I'm the one to
• 1:20:42
  initiate it, but if someone's being rude and then I'm just
• 1:20:45
  Just matching it, the no, I don't feel that bad.
• 1:20:48
  That must be nice. Maybe I need it.
• 1:20:50
  Get more like that but I just I don't like feeling like that.
• 1:20:53
  It just makes me feel like sick, I don't know.
• 1:20:56
  Hmm, no, I understand but typically though, when I get in
• 1:21:01
  that type of mood, it's like after I've run out of patience
• 1:21:06
  from dealing with people's because so it's just like what
• 1:21:09
  do you do at that point? The best you can do is like, say
• 1:21:11
  a sarcastic comment instead of cursing them out, you know.
• 1:21:15
  I don't know. I just, I really need to get out
• 1:21:17
  of like a customer service base type job.
• 1:21:20
  What would that be? I don't know anymore.
• 1:21:23
  It doesn't even matter anymore. I feel like the world is
• 1:21:25
  Burdick. Yeah, climate change is real.
• 1:21:31
  I'm anywho. So today, we're just going to be
• 1:21:34
  basically. I'm right on you like this.
• 1:21:36
  But like, like I said, it's big. Yeah.
• 1:21:40
  Uh, huh. Yeah.
• 1:21:43
  So today's podcast is just basically going to be us
• 1:21:46
  rambling and talking about our woes of really.
• 1:21:51
  Yeah. I mean, how else can we describe
• 1:21:56
  it? I just feel like I'm just going
• 1:22:00
  to do a lot of sighing. Like this episode.
• 1:22:03
  Not my usual cheerful self, but we get back to our other topics.
• 1:22:07
  Hopefully, I'll be better. I'm not good at hiding my
• 1:22:12
  expressions or Felix. So that's a good thing.
• 1:22:16
  Is it though? But here, overall from all
• 1:22:23
  avenues, it is a struggle. It's basically a struggle life.
• 1:22:28
  Yeah, it's a struggle except for like the 1%, they'll be okay.
• 1:22:34
  They're the ones that are killing us, the most, but we
• 1:22:36
  won't get into that. That's another topic.
• 1:22:39
  For another day, the top 40 sometimes like, well, we do the
• 1:22:42
  pockets of like, how deep do I want to get it to my like, this,
• 1:22:47
  gushes to wear like a small? Should I say that shit?
• 1:22:51
  Not say that. Am I making sense?
• 1:22:54
  If I try to say this and like sometimes I don't want to get
• 1:22:57
  too deep because I'm not educated on everything so it's
• 1:23:00
  not like, I'm afraid to sound like an idiot but like I don't
• 1:23:03
  like I'm talking about things, I am not 100% educated on so I'm
• 1:23:08
  not here to try to spread false information, right?
• 1:23:13
  But it's nice to like get different perspectives on things
• 1:23:19
  but sometimes it's like, well, we're all talking this.
• 1:23:21
  Us out. But like, how are we going to
• 1:23:22
  change things? You know, exactly feel like
• 1:23:26
  everything we went through and 2020s kind of just like got
• 1:23:29
  brushed under the rug, you know, still haven't really gotten past
• 1:23:33
  like covid even though we're opening everything back up at
• 1:23:39
  this point. We've been opened everything
• 1:23:41
  back up for Yes. Because what I don't give a shit
• 1:23:44
  but the rest of the country. Yeah, speaking of He got her
• 1:23:51
  stuff. You know, that episode of I of
• 1:23:53
  us talking about living here in Florida is like one of the top
• 1:23:57
  fives. I don't remember what I say, but
• 1:24:00
  I'm like, why are people listening to this specific one?
• 1:24:03
  That was like, what the second or third episode?
• 1:24:05
  We recorded like murli on. I'm I have to surprise every
• 1:24:10
  time I'm look. I'm like, really, for it is not
• 1:24:13
  that great makes a great episode.
• 1:24:15
  We do, we did a lot of trash-talking.
• 1:24:17
  I don't remember what I said. I don't even think I can.
• 1:24:20
  Optimus trash did I? Um honestly I don't remember.
• 1:24:25
  I don't remember either. And I'm too afraid to go back
• 1:24:27
  and listen, like how honest were we - I can tell you right now.
• 1:24:34
  I think idea of the nature board, I am true or like I'm
• 1:24:39
  true to what I said about the nature.
• 1:24:40
  The people know, I feel like the the further away, you get a like
• 1:24:47
  you go from the city, the worse, it is.
• 1:24:51
  Like in our land. Now, you'll find some really
• 1:24:53
  nice Hospital people because it's like all Disney Magic here.
• 1:24:56
  But like when you move away from that, it's like a little bit
• 1:25:00
  rougher. Well, I wouldn't say that Disney
• 1:25:01
  is going through some things with that, don't say gay bill.
• 1:25:05
  So, I think the magic is finally crumbling here and Disney, what?
• 1:25:12
  Is it so funny? All riled up.
• 1:25:14
  You get with me talk about Disney because just the way you
• 1:25:19
  know what? Let me not say this.
• 1:25:21
  This is one of the things where I'm like, should I say this
• 1:25:23
  publicly or keep it to myself, I might have to keep this to
• 1:25:26
  myself. I'll wait till I make money from
• 1:25:29
  this if I want to get into it or not.
• 1:25:32
  But right now I'm a Nobody. But like, is that a good?
• 1:25:36
  Is that better though? Knocks only people to be digging
• 1:25:39
  up this. If I do become famous, Listen, I
• 1:25:42
  don't want to be famous. This is what happens when we
• 1:25:45
  don't have a topic. Guys existential crisis, within
• 1:25:49
  an existing social crisis, that's my everyday life.
• 1:25:52
  Basically having crisis without crisis within a crisis.
• 1:25:57
  Mmm it's like those Russian dolls.
• 1:26:00
  That's how my like anxiety Works basically.
• 1:26:04
  Oh But yeah, yeah. Florida is a weird like it's a
• 1:26:09
  weird mix of like that southern mentality makes with City
• 1:26:14
  mentality mixed with like yeah, Island mentality like cause you
• 1:26:20
  know, we're off the coast of like a lot of the like, Bahamas
• 1:26:26
  and islands and all that, so, yeah, I don't know.
• 1:26:30
  It's a very interesting here. Yeah, we're just You can't get
• 1:26:36
  away with you can't not see one, like source of American Media
• 1:26:40
  word, like, they make fun of Florida.
• 1:26:43
  We really are the laughingstock of America.
• 1:26:46
  I mean, they had a whole character on the good place.
• 1:26:49
  So, fucking Jason has made it to high school, high school.
• 1:26:54
  We made it to Hollywood guys. You know what his character was
• 1:26:59
  accurate. So I'm not even mad at it.
• 1:27:02
  I am but I'm not You know, at first honestly at first, when
• 1:27:07
  you told me that his character was a representative of Florida,
• 1:27:10
  I was a little bit offended but then like the more I watched him
• 1:27:15
  like, okay, this is you watch the good place fairly accurate.
• 1:27:19
  Oh, I watched all of it like and watched it or not.
• 1:27:22
  But yeah it's a huge presentation of us.
• 1:27:25
  Yeah. I mean I don't think we're all
• 1:27:27
  that stupid but like fairly close.
• 1:27:31
  Fairly close. Yeah, you know what sometimes
• 1:27:34
  is, Not even just for radians in general.
• 1:27:36
  Is a bunch of the snowbirds that we get here.
• 1:27:39
  Yeah. If no one knows what a snowbird
• 1:27:41
  is, that's what we call. People who like live up.
• 1:27:45
  North mostly places that snow and they come down here during
• 1:27:48
  like the winter months. So like they don't have to deal
• 1:27:51
  with the cold weather so that's why they're called snowbirds.
• 1:27:55
  I have to say this for people because you know I have to
• 1:27:56
  remember that everyone that lives here one lives in Florida
• 1:28:00
  or live in America. So you know, we do have some
• 1:28:04
  International National listener. Shout out to you guys.
• 1:28:07
  Thanks for listening to us, keeping us alive, all that good
• 1:28:10
  stuff. But mostly also shout out to
• 1:28:13
  Florida because like our highest listeners are from Florida.
• 1:28:16
  Surprisingly. So I don't know how y'all be
• 1:28:18
  finding us. Exactly, but thank you.
• 1:28:23
  Yes, thank you so much. So Like I said there's a couple
• 1:28:32
  because, you know, sometimes especially when it pertains to
• 1:28:34
  like children's movie, there's a lot of things that people have
• 1:28:37
  to say. So the first one is basically
• 1:28:41
  just about like the puberty talk has this is basically like a
• 1:28:45
  puberty movie about may like growing up and being like her
• 1:28:49
  own person so like I know seeing online there was like a lot of
• 1:28:53
  weird discussions talking about like how they brought up pads
• 1:28:57
  because like when she first turns it to the panda, you
• 1:29:00
  obviously can tell All this is about her getting her period for
• 1:29:02
  the first time she's a 13 year old girl.
• 1:29:04
  So it was just really weird to me, like, how there's just all
• 1:29:07
  these like - discussions about, like the movie talking about,
• 1:29:11
  maybe getting her period? I mean, like, this is something
• 1:29:14
  that happens in real life. And especially, if you were a
• 1:29:17
  parent & Parent of a woman who has uteruses.
• 1:29:21
  We all get our periods. Like, basic biology needs to be
• 1:29:26
  taught better in school, guys. Come on now.
• 1:29:31
  Really understand why it's such like a taboo topic, like it, how
• 1:29:34
  it affects 50% of the population, and the other 50%
• 1:29:38
  should know about it because it's, you know, eventually at
• 1:29:42
  some point, probably going to affect them to or their partner
• 1:29:44
  or whatever. You know, like you can eat eat,
• 1:29:47
  whether you are in a relationship with someone who
• 1:29:50
  has one, or you are related to someone who has one, or you have
• 1:29:53
  a child that has one, like it's going to affect you at some
• 1:29:56
  point in your life, so ugly. It's not something that should
• 1:30:00
  be how the secret because especially like this.
• 1:30:02
  Like, you know, we don't ask for it.
• 1:30:06
  This if I could like not have a period, I would not want it, but
• 1:30:12
  it's something as women, we have to deal with.
• 1:30:15
  And make sure we're dealing with a healthy wise to and think most
• 1:30:18
  people would choose, not to, it's part of why the population
• 1:30:22
  continues to grow. So like, it's, I don't know.
• 1:30:26
  I think, people think that it's Taboo and in it, people think
• 1:30:30
  that it's like quote-unquote gross or whatever and like, they
• 1:30:33
  don't want to talk about it and like you should just deal with
• 1:30:35
  it on your own. But like what about the girls
• 1:30:38
  that don't have the proper and like, parental background to
• 1:30:42
  teach them that, you know, like whether it's your parents or the
• 1:30:45
  school system, teaching you about this thing that you're
• 1:30:47
  going to have to go through. Like there's got to be some
• 1:30:50
  education on it and if Pixar movie can teach one little girl
• 1:30:55
  that it's okay to have this thing then they succeeded.
• 1:30:58
  But they didn't really go into it per se like the details of
• 1:31:02
  it. Yeah.
• 1:31:03
  Like that's why I because like at the other day, This is a
• 1:31:06
  child's movie but they still brought it up like it's a normal
• 1:31:10
  thing which it is. So it's more about like the
• 1:31:12
  emotional thing and then like the I mean, she is embarrassed
• 1:31:17
  by the fact that her mom like brings that stuff to school,
• 1:31:21
  which by all means. I don't like that.
• 1:31:23
  I would have ran away, but yeah, so I don't know if they're like,
• 1:31:28
  showing it. Are they showing it in a good
• 1:31:29
  light or not but I think that was just to highlight the
• 1:31:33
  overbearing - yeah. Yeah, not necessarily a
• 1:31:38
  commentary on. Yeah, yeah, there's no problem.
• 1:31:41
  Bringing it up either because like I said, this is something
• 1:31:44
  normal and like girls her age and some even younger start that
• 1:31:47
  early. So like you want to make sure
• 1:31:49
  they are properly educated of what is going to happen to them.
• 1:31:53
  Yeah, I make sure to hit it just right.
• 1:31:55
  Even just the mention of it in a like a major production is, is
• 1:31:59
  step in the right direction? Because even though it's not
• 1:32:01
  like, a physiological like discussion or like how Be
• 1:32:06
  educated. It's just like bring it up.
• 1:32:08
  Like it's something normal that you can just talk about in
• 1:32:11
  passing rather than it being weird.
• 1:32:13
  I also think like people have this weird like obsession over
• 1:32:19
  like being angry about it just because I don't know why we I
• 1:32:23
  mean biologically, yes, but like we associate girls that get
• 1:32:27
  their period with like, oh, the ready for six now and that's not
• 1:32:30
  the case. So it's also like this weird Sex
• 1:32:33
  Lies ation of the children that Also makes me upset because
• 1:32:37
  that's not acceptable. I don't know like it's hard to
• 1:32:41
  explain but that's another that's one thing.
• 1:32:43
  I was kind of taking away from like the discussion.
• 1:32:45
  I was saying I'm like you anyway.
• 1:32:50
  I don't know, but this shouldn't be something like we're saying
• 1:32:54
  to be embarrassed about or sexualize either, which is weird
• 1:32:58
  in itself. So the controversy itself was
• 1:33:02
  bringing up that topic. Yeah, it really is.
• 1:33:15
  So this forum was full of like, what type of people Amy just
• 1:33:20
  just about everybody. Okay?
• 1:33:22
  Yeah, I just said that to say that but it was like men.
• 1:33:25
  Women parent that was gonna say if you were looking at like a
• 1:33:31
  like an Asian Forum, then it would make sense why they think
• 1:33:36
  it's taboo because it's still Taboo in that area.
• 1:33:39
  So, for them to see that like, on a big screen, it's like, oh
• 1:33:41
  my gosh. Whoa, what's going on here?
• 1:33:44
  So it makes sense why they had that kind of like reaction.
• 1:33:48
  I don't Know about that I know is mostly like I feel like white
• 1:33:53
  people for me and like the conservative one.
• 1:33:55
  So I was saying, so That's interesting.
• 1:34:01
  Hmm. Considering all the other type
• 1:34:04
  of cotton content. You see exactly TV.
• 1:34:08
  It's appealing. I love Shrek Shrek.
• 1:34:13
  It's one of my favorite movies and I'm like, this is a kids
• 1:34:20
  movie, it's not pigs are and it's not Disney, but still
• 1:34:25
  right? And there's so many others I
• 1:34:27
  could name, right. I think that's In like forever.
• 1:34:30
  Like a lot of adult jokes are hidden in children's movies.
• 1:34:33
  So that the parents that are forced to watch them can laugh
• 1:34:37
  at things. I guess.
• 1:34:40
  I also don't always see like yes.
• 1:34:42
  Sometimes they're made for kids but like I feel like it goes.
• 1:34:45
  Can enjoy them to bring their youth back and I made like PG
• 1:34:49
  one's not like yeah yeah. No by all means.
• 1:34:52
  I'm just saying. I think that was the original
• 1:34:54
  intent. It's all.
• 1:34:55
  Yeah. I don't mean shows like what's
• 1:34:58
  that one? That's really popular.
• 1:35:00
  Her with the children is, like, Coco melon or something like
• 1:35:02
  that. Like, don't make me watch that.
• 1:35:04
  But I could do stuff like this and like even some G rated
• 1:35:08
  movies. So it's so funny, regarding
• 1:35:11
  Coco, melon, slight tangent. It's like half my kids.
• 1:35:15
  Love it and half of my kids hate it.
• 1:35:17
  And I'm just like, Coco. Melon is not very representative
• 1:35:20
  of like a good show but anyway, that's a different commentary /.
• 1:35:24
  Different episode. I know nothing about it.
• 1:35:27
  I'm not around children. So that's just one that I know
• 1:35:29
  is Popular among kids under 10, right?
• 1:35:32
  Very popular. Yeah.
• 1:35:34
  So that's the onlythe ample, I could bring up, I mean, it makes
• 1:35:38
  it onto Netflix has top 10 so you can imagine how popular it
• 1:35:43
  is. Yeah, no one's like our age
• 1:35:45
  anymore, no one remembers the Blues Clues, or the door
• 1:35:48
  explorers, or things like that. So yeah.
• 1:35:52
  Okay. But anything else we want to
• 1:35:54
  talk about that first one? Just the personally, I just
• 1:35:57
  think it's the weirdest of the yeah.
• 1:36:01
  Okay, the next one that really stood out to me that is one to
• 1:36:04
  bring out was like I guess Maze and her friends obsession with
• 1:36:09
  for Town and like I guess also just really getting into K-pop.
• 1:36:13
  Like I can sympathize a little bit better because especially
• 1:36:16
  when I was younger like I've said this before, I wasn't
• 1:36:18
  really into like boy bands growing up.
• 1:36:22
  It was definitely like a later reaction, but like still,
• 1:36:24
  there's still just like a stigmatism of like fangirls and
• 1:36:28
  fangirl. I can't read.
• 1:36:30
  When it comes to just like things woman, really enjoy, but
• 1:36:33
  no one ever says the same thing about men and sports right?
• 1:36:37
  Or just Sports me, I thought General.
• 1:36:39
  When do you ever see a fangirl Go destroy a town?
• 1:36:42
  Because their team lost a cave, right?
• 1:36:46
  Get it to that, but it sports fans are way more hardcore, but
• 1:36:51
  like they're young is supposed to show them.
• 1:36:53
  Like they're still children. They're just excited about
• 1:36:55
  something. Why are you diminishing their
• 1:36:58
  excitement, like the season? This is not the first time where
• 1:37:01
  they show that type of obsession that would like a group in the
• 1:37:05
  movie. Are you talking about a media
• 1:37:07
  lime, just talking about in general, like, in other movies,
• 1:37:09
  you see, like people around that age, like be obsessed with some
• 1:37:13
  sort of group, I guess, because people are upset, like they're
• 1:37:16
  still stigmatizing like, I don't know, maybe just like the
• 1:37:19
  fangirl whole Mantra, which they're not all like that.
• 1:37:21
  It may be because I am older. I'm not that crazy.
• 1:37:25
  Even if I was younger, does his me?
• 1:37:26
  Personally, I'm not like that, but there are like people that I
• 1:37:29
  know Like see what I do go to concerts who just get that
• 1:37:33
  excited, but this is totally harmless.
• 1:37:34
  So that's what I mean the harmless ones like they're just
• 1:37:38
  excited about seeing or hearing stuff that they love.
• 1:37:42
  Yeah, the end of the day, it's just music like it's not hurting
• 1:37:45
  anybody. Exactly.
• 1:37:47
  And some of the comments, her mom was saying in the movie.
• 1:37:50
  The gyrating, I found that I found a comment hilarious
• 1:37:56
  emphasis on gyrating. Yeah.
• 1:38:00
  Yeah, I don't know. I just saw it more like I could
• 1:38:05
  like, now as I'm into, I guess my fangirl are, I could see it
• 1:38:10
  better and just like, just let them have fun and even then they
• 1:38:14
  just be like if that's not your thing that's just not your
• 1:38:17
  thing. But like they just want to end
• 1:38:19
  was, it's a bonding experience with her and her friends?
• 1:38:22
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:38:23
  So I thought it was cute, they're not doing it.
• 1:38:26
  Like I said, it's harmless, you're not doing anything.
• 1:38:29
  I would be more concerned. Sorry if they're like, some
• 1:38:31
  people were there, like saying certain stuff online or, like,
• 1:38:35
  beak, almost, stalkerish, and away.
• 1:38:37
  That's when your kind of have to be like, okay, dial it back a
• 1:38:40
  little, or, like, we need to talk about this, but the way
• 1:38:43
  they were portrayed, I think it was fine.
• 1:38:46
  The people who are saying that these girls are, like, way.
• 1:38:49
  Obsessed with these boys, haven't seen BTS stand Twitter
• 1:38:55
  because they're just if to me that they're really just into
• 1:38:59
  The Newsroom. Isaac.
• 1:39:00
  And they just want to go to the concert like those are there
• 1:39:02
  means goals, they're not like talking about, you know, their
• 1:39:05
  personal lives like or like, you know, harassing people about
• 1:39:10
  this group or whatever, they're like, literally, just we love
• 1:39:13
  these people, we love their music.
• 1:39:14
  We want to go to their concert to me, that that's not like,
• 1:39:17
  nearly to the point where you see some people like online in
• 1:39:21
  real life because they're not like this, not if there is the
• 1:39:24
  whole movie was about their obsession, with four Town, it
• 1:39:27
  would be different. But like, they're just having
• 1:39:29
  fun. They're Other things like, you
• 1:39:32
  know, like, I don't know. It's just, it doesn't seem that
• 1:39:35
  big of a deal to me. Like may still very into her
• 1:39:37
  grades and stuff, like she's not letting her obsession with for
• 1:39:40
  Town distract her from her real goals and her personal life.
• 1:39:45
  Yeah. She still wants to be like a
• 1:39:48
  straight, A student. Yeah all that good stuff I just
• 1:39:52
  saw it more as like a healthy balance.
• 1:39:54
  Mmm personally me too okay but yeah and then our last quote
• 1:39:59
  Occult controversy, like I only wrote These down, they're all
• 1:40:03
  dumb to be to be honest but I just feel like, hey, some more
• 1:40:08
  talking points for the movie. And this is the one where I feel
• 1:40:12
  like it's the dumbest wall. No offense.
• 1:40:16
  I feel like it's designed to Cable.
• 1:40:18
  I could say this like it's just a bunch of online stuff.
• 1:40:23
  So, This is going to be the log 1/2.
• 1:40:27
  So this is about who for town is based off of now, first of all
• 1:40:33
  okay do you have a feeling of going?
• 1:40:39
  But so I remember wouldn't before this movie even came out,
• 1:40:44
  we're getting pictures of like for town, you know, taehyung
• 1:40:49
  obviously is supposed to be Korean and then when you saw
• 1:40:55
  like his Little background story.
• 1:40:58
  Bunch of armies were like, oh my God, the Creator must have, you
• 1:41:02
  know, base them off of Jim. And he looks just like jimin.
• 1:41:07
  So then an article, I can't find the actual article, but I
• 1:41:11
  remember seeing this and reading it.
• 1:41:13
  So there's an article came out where the Creator, I guess.
• 1:41:16
  She said she based it off of Big Bang and 2 p.m. now I'll talk
• 1:41:22
  about my thing at first because Purse.
• 1:41:27
  I don't know a lot about 2 p.m. so I won't talk about them but I
• 1:41:33
  don't really, I don't know, a lot about Big Bang either, but
• 1:41:36
  every time I would listen to Big Banks songs or see them.
• 1:41:39
  I don't really see it because I feel like four towns kind of
• 1:41:43
  like that cutesy. Like, not pretty.
• 1:41:49
  Yeah, kind of pretty boy band where they're like, they'll take
• 1:41:52
  you home to your parents, your parents will accept them where
• 1:41:55
  every time, I Give big bang. I'm like all the girls want
• 1:41:57
  them, but you wouldn't really want to take him home to your
• 1:42:00
  parents. So, in that sense, I didn't see
• 1:42:04
  it as far as like, the way Big Bang was like promoted as a
• 1:42:09
  group. There's promoted more as like,
• 1:42:11
  the hard edges of the bad boys time.
• 1:42:14
  Yeah. I know more about 2 p.m., and I
• 1:42:17
  would say if anything, it may for down leans way more towards
• 1:42:21
  2 p.m. then, it does think they, okay?
• 1:42:23
  So I can see that. But like, even then I I wasn't
• 1:42:26
  like when I first saw the pictures, I wasn't even thinking
• 1:42:28
  Kpop because like, you know, Kpop is based off of American
• 1:42:33
  boy bands from here. Like he posed, very young.
• 1:42:36
  It only started in the 90s and I think someone correct me if I'm
• 1:42:41
  wrong. I think really where you can
• 1:42:42
  trace back like Kpop like the group's we know now like what it
• 1:42:46
  was derived from like maybe 1992 maybe like actual 90s.
• 1:42:51
  I think 92. But like when I saw them, I was
• 1:42:54
  thinking of like, you know, And seeing Backstreet Boys, Boys to
• 1:42:59
  Men B2K. He's gonna say the same thing.
• 1:43:03
  I'm more of like a Backstreet Boys.
• 1:43:05
  Yes, I initially saw it because I didn't I didn't know anything
• 1:43:08
  about this movie until you said it.
• 1:43:10
  I had no idea what they look like.
• 1:43:11
  I had no concept of what anything was happening when I,
• 1:43:14
  when they first appeared on screen.
• 1:43:15
  I thought One Direction. Yeah.
• 1:43:17
  You could say One Direction. I was thinking, like, even like
• 1:43:20
  some. Well, like I said, I wasn't into
• 1:43:23
  boy Greece. But, like, in Middle School I
• 1:43:24
  was kind of like, in Ooh, this group called Mindless Behavior,
• 1:43:27
  I thought of them so and even you can throw it back to like
• 1:43:30
  the Jackson 5. So I was thinking more of those
• 1:43:35
  along those lines. Now articles now kind of say it
• 1:43:37
  was based off of 90's boy bands, and America.
• 1:43:43
  I'm excited Kpop and then they do mention like DTS also.
• 1:43:46
  So I don't really know which one was correct.
• 1:43:48
  I just remember that being a thing because he know how.
• 1:43:51
  Yeah, they just for me at least they gave off like one, Your
• 1:43:56
  boyfriend Vibes. Yes, where I don't get that from
• 1:43:59
  Kpop, at least. Not the group's.
• 1:44:01
  I listen to, like the kind of more basic cheesy lyrics of just
• 1:44:05
  like, I'll be this person to you, you know, kind of thing.
• 1:44:08
  Like, I don't know if I found some K-pop groups that I listen
• 1:44:11
  to. I mean, every once in a while, a
• 1:44:14
  song will be like that. But for the most part, I don't
• 1:44:16
  get that Vibe. I think there are things like
• 1:44:18
  that in 2nd gen and they are now.
• 1:44:20
  But yes, yes, if anything second gen Kpop more so than Any?
• 1:44:25
  Yes? And I think it's director is
• 1:44:27
  pretty young. I think she's in her early 30s.
• 1:44:29
  So, like, I understand that too. But like right?
• 1:44:31
  I was thinking like, when I first even read that, I'm like,
• 1:44:34
  I'm not even thinking Kpop, I'm honestly, not even thinking BTS.
• 1:44:36
  I'm thinking like, American or groups of the ones I just
• 1:44:39
  mentioned. And I guess One Direction in
• 1:44:41
  there even though they're not American but still there a, you
• 1:44:44
  know. Yeah.
• 1:44:45
  They they give off the boyfriend Vibe, sell for sure.
• 1:44:48
  Jonas Brothers, I was thought of the Jonas, Brothers, a little
• 1:44:51
  bit or go for me. It was definitely like 90s 90's,
• 1:44:55
  boy band. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:44:57
  Especially the way the tune is to of, like the song.
• 1:44:59
  Yes, that's definitely very 90s. He had a song in the vibe of
• 1:45:03
  everything, I definitely would stray away from modern-day Kpop.
• 1:45:07
  However, I do admit that the Asian character does look a
• 1:45:12
  little bit, like jimin. Like, if you're gonna make me
• 1:45:14
  say it, I'm sorry. It's just, like, just the, the
• 1:45:21
  smoldering look and the blond hair and just there are, I can
• 1:45:25
  See how armies would be like oh my God, she's like modeled after
• 1:45:28
  him. I don't necessarily agree with
• 1:45:30
  the fact that he's modeled off of him but there are comparisons
• 1:45:33
  that you can make there. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:45:36
  I'm not gonna deny that either because when I first saw that to
• 1:45:40
  of like, oh my God, that would look like with jimin would look
• 1:45:43
  like when he's animated. So yeah.
• 1:45:46
  Well we haven't been blond in a while though but I like the
• 1:45:48
  black hair on him. The blond is like kind of like
• 1:45:52
  an iconic moment like when you think of jimin and we might not
• 1:45:56
  necessarily be into it like that would be the image that you
• 1:45:58
  would think of. So Yes, but I just wanted to
• 1:46:05
  bring that up. So it was just really The Clash
• 1:46:08
  of that. So I mostly thought of the, the
• 1:46:12
  boy groups that I named earlier. So yeah, the whole, the overall
• 1:46:16
  Vibe of the group definitely. Yeah, it's just, there are all
• 1:46:20
  just based off of different basically.
• 1:46:23
  I feel like boy, bands throughout the decades, that
• 1:46:26
  what we grew up with, right? I think people who don't
• 1:46:29
  actually listen to Kpop BTS, I specifically would think that
• 1:46:33
  this is what they're like, if they had never heard any of
• 1:46:35
  their stuff, if that makes sense, like the stereotypical
• 1:46:39
  boy band aesthetic. I think that's what they're
• 1:46:42
  portraying, but like, I don't even go, I wouldn't even go
• 1:46:45
  through my mind. Doesn't go through Kpop for his
• 1:46:47
  mind, goes to the 90s of lie, Nsync and Backstreet Boys.
• 1:46:51
  And even when I was not old enough to like, to have, been
• 1:46:55
  around to stand them, and I wasn't exposed to their music,
• 1:46:58
  except for, like, you know, the one or two popular.
• 1:47:01
  Once I agree with you, but I'm just saying from if these, these
• 1:47:06
  critics that are just looking at it from a Faraway glance that
• 1:47:10
  aren't into this stuff, I feel like Kpop is exploding right
• 1:47:14
  now. So yeah.
• 1:47:15
  Maybe they're thinking that it's it's like capitalizing off of
• 1:47:20
  the fact that k-pops exploding right now.
• 1:47:21
  Even though that's not really what modern-day Kpop is like and
• 1:47:24
  that make sense. Yeah yeah I get it.
• 1:47:34
  Okay, so my next point is like the decision to embrace the
• 1:47:39
  Panda versus suppression. So she's really the only person
• 1:47:43
  in her family that decided to embrace it.
• 1:47:46
  Fully if you were in her situation, would you em embrace
• 1:47:52
  it or would you suppress it and like why do you think she came
• 1:47:55
  to the decision? She did.
• 1:48:02
  I think honestly, I probably would suppress it just because
• 1:48:06
  of like my personality. It's easier for me to suppress
• 1:48:10
  something, than to be that expressive.
• 1:48:11
  But with a her, she had more to gain from keeping the panda,
• 1:48:15
  then from suppressing it. So I could see why she did that.
• 1:48:18
  Yeah, she learned to live with it more that I think.
• 1:48:21
  Probably all the women in our generation really learned,
• 1:48:23
  honestly, besides like the Creator, right.
• 1:48:27
  I think I would tend to agree with you in the face on the
• 1:48:30
  whole suppression thing. Only because in a realistic
• 1:48:33
  standpoint I don't really love to like show my emotions.
• 1:48:38
  Like on that kind of level. I think I tend to keep things to
• 1:48:42
  myself even though I'm becoming way more expressive with like my
• 1:48:46
  outward appearance or what I can say to people.
• 1:48:48
  I still like my emotions. Friends, I still kind of keep to
• 1:48:53
  myself. So unless I just can't, you
• 1:48:56
  know, like I kind of hate the fact that I've cried twice now
• 1:49:03
  at work one when Lucy died and two when my uncle died.
• 1:49:08
  So I and that's not something that I've never done before.
• 1:49:12
  I've never cried in front of a co-worker, so, and I think it's
• 1:49:16
  just too. I think it's proving just that
• 1:49:18
  how comfortable I do feel with my co-workers, which is a Right
• 1:49:21
  thing. And to that, I'm becoming more
• 1:49:23
  comfortable with letting my emotions out, but I'm still not
• 1:49:27
  quite all there. That I would, I think that I
• 1:49:29
  would let my emotions become into a physical Beast that would
• 1:49:32
  just pop out. You know what I mean?
• 1:49:37
  Turn into a big fluffy eight-foot, giant red panda.
• 1:49:41
  I mean, I would be cool with that but I don't think that's
• 1:49:44
  super realistic in our society. Nothing is supposed to be
• 1:49:48
  realistic but I don't If it was, yeah, if it was I don't know how
• 1:49:53
  much that would be accepted and that, you know, people suck,
• 1:49:57
  they would probably if it was accepted be like, oh taboo, she
• 1:50:00
  let her panda out, like, she's too emotional, like our society.
• 1:50:05
  We turned it into that. I guess you could kind of
• 1:50:07
  compare it to people who are just the no filter type of
• 1:50:11
  people. Yeah, you can kind of compare it
• 1:50:13
  to that. Yeah.
• 1:50:14
  Well, what extent though? Because even now, like, as I get
• 1:50:17
  older, like I realize a lot of those no filter people were just
• 1:50:21
  Like route and try to use it as being no filter.
• 1:50:25
  When that's not really received between no filter of like
• 1:50:28
  accepting yourself, like expressing yourself of like who
• 1:50:32
  you actually are. And then there's just like the
• 1:50:34
  no filter of like just being a spiteful person.
• 1:50:39
  Yeah, so if it's the no filter of like maze side than, yeah, I
• 1:50:45
  want to be like that if it's not that no.
• 1:50:48
  Yeah, I think it's just it's down to like the Being afraid to
• 1:50:52
  be vulnerable, kind of thing and laying everything out on the
• 1:50:55
  table. Like I'm still kind of the type
• 1:50:56
  of person that wants to keep some of my cards hidden, you
• 1:51:00
  know? So it would be very hard for me
• 1:51:02
  to just completely release it all like that.
• 1:51:04
  Yeah, yeah. Um, I didn't answer.
• 1:51:08
  So I would probably agree. I was trying to think, I think I
• 1:51:11
  would agree with you guys as far as suppressing it but like I
• 1:51:15
  kind of want to start embracing my panda more with the people I
• 1:51:19
  trust because I am kind of The same thing.
• 1:51:21
  Like I don't really show my emotions and like even just like
• 1:51:25
  speaking my opinion, I still struggle with that and I noticed
• 1:51:28
  that too, like even with this podcast like there's some things
• 1:51:31
  I want to say and I don't and like it's just because I wasn't
• 1:51:35
  really taught to do that. I don't know how to do it
• 1:51:38
  properly. So like as far as people I don't
• 1:51:41
  know like yes I want to be like more myself but like still kind
• 1:51:45
  of calm down just because that's the way I am.
• 1:51:47
  I still am kind of shy like anxious around people.
• 1:51:50
  I don't know. I probably suppress it, but as
• 1:51:52
  far as like just like with my friends and family, I tried I do
• 1:51:56
  want to try to embrace my panda more, that makes sense like
• 1:52:01
  some. Absolutely.
• 1:52:02
  I don't want to make this. I don't make this too deep but
• 1:52:06
  like, one of the reasons I've just realized, like, recently,
• 1:52:09
  when I was doing, like, a professional development for
• 1:52:12
  like school, like one of the reasons why I'm just so hesitant
• 1:52:16
  of speaking. My mind of saying, like, what I
• 1:52:18
  want, what I don't want is because of The social, like lash
• 1:52:22
  back like backlash, that I'd get because growing up, like, I grew
• 1:52:28
  up around the time when 9/11 was like still fresh.
• 1:52:31
  So there was like that. Islamophobia.
• 1:52:33
  That still existed. So we were always taught at home
• 1:52:36
  to always, you know, keep your comments to yourself.
• 1:52:39
  Make sure you're politically correct.
• 1:52:41
  When you're saying something, you're not saying something so
• 1:52:42
  outlandish that people are just going to look at you like this
• 1:52:46
  girl's concerning. So like I kind of like
• 1:52:48
  internalized that and like just recently, I Lies.
• 1:52:51
  That is one of the reasons why I'm not as us outspoken as I
• 1:52:55
  could be. So, yeah.
• 1:52:57
  So that's just one of the just came to mind when you were
• 1:53:00
  talking Simone. Yeah.
• 1:53:01
  No. I get that.
• 1:53:03
  So that makes sense. Why it's more of kind of just
• 1:53:06
  like, and the parents, it's like, especially with my mom,
• 1:53:10
  it's kind of like, if I wanted to say something it was like,
• 1:53:14
  oh, you're just a child. You don't know anything.
• 1:53:16
  You'll know, when you grow up, like never really have a
• 1:53:18
  discussions with me. Like, well, why there's so much
• 1:53:21
  Know that now. Yeah, like I said earlier
• 1:53:25
  growing up in like a predominantly like white area.
• 1:53:29
  She didn't want me to be perceived as like, I guess, the
• 1:53:31
  other black kids like be like loud and rambunctious and like,
• 1:53:36
  especially like as a woman, I guess try to fit more into like
• 1:53:40
  what why people will want to see me as to try to accept me?
• 1:53:44
  And that's another thing. Like I've been seeing
• 1:53:46
  discussions about with though, I really did want to bring this
• 1:53:48
  up, but the whole Oscar thing that Last time I can see those
• 1:53:52
  point of views are stuff, which no one has still apologize to
• 1:53:55
  Jada. But again, we're not going to
• 1:53:56
  get into that. But I'm just saying, things
• 1:53:58
  along that line is why I have problems expressing myself and
• 1:54:02
  how people are so quick to shut it down.
• 1:54:04
  Words like, you don't know what you're talking about or like if
• 1:54:08
  someone says something inventive, like it's just a
• 1:54:10
  joke, things along that nature. So it really isn't about, just
• 1:54:15
  like learning how to express yourself.
• 1:54:17
  It's the fear of, like the backlash, you will get Like it's
• 1:54:21
  not even a question like you are going to get some like backlash
• 1:54:25
  from saying things on your mind. So it's just it's kind of
• 1:54:28
  completely situation like you want to express yourself to a
• 1:54:31
  certain extent, but you also don't want to like, you know,
• 1:54:36
  mess with like your few people's perception of you or like, your,
• 1:54:41
  you know, your opportunities because people are crazy and
• 1:54:44
  like you say, the wrong thing, you could ruin an opportunity
• 1:54:47
  for herself. So it's just ugly, we have to
• 1:54:50
  tiptoe. Around each other because of
• 1:54:52
  these these stereotypes that we put into our own Society.
• 1:54:56
  So I guess that's why I said, like, Society wise, I suppress
• 1:55:01
  it. But like I want to embrace more
• 1:55:02
  friends and family, so people like truck around, you know?
• 1:55:05
  Because unfortunately it's like the whole like you have to keep
• 1:55:09
  yourself safe. So like say what you feel like
• 1:55:12
  you can public environment to keep yourself safe, while still
• 1:55:15
  expressing a part of your opinion, and then let it out
• 1:55:19
  more. So with people that you know,
• 1:55:20
  that you're safe, If with no matter what so you just want to
• 1:55:24
  say though if it's like a toxic or like an abusive situation
• 1:55:28
  then definitely speak out like whether it's at work at home
• 1:55:31
  whatever because you don't want to go through that Agony like
• 1:55:35
  every single day. Yeah no, no one deserves the
• 1:55:39
  right to be belittled so definitely And I forever busy
• 1:55:48
  hard-working man, Jackson Wang, apparently, it's going to have a
• 1:55:52
  song on the new Minions movie that I didn't even know they
• 1:55:57
  were making, or he posted it on his Instagram and I was like,
• 1:56:01
  what is this? And I realize like this is a
• 1:56:03
  Minions movie, It's called Minions.
• 1:56:05
  The rise of grew and is dropping July first, okay, this might
• 1:56:08
  sound stupid of me, but I think I've only ever seen the first,
• 1:56:13
  like, Minions movie. A how many are there?
• 1:56:16
  Is there not B1 minions, move. I swear.
• 1:56:19
  There's a second. One is there.
• 1:56:21
  I swear, I know. There are three Despicable Me
• 1:56:24
  movies. Oh, baby.
• 1:56:26
  That's what I'm thinking of and there's a minion movie.
• 1:56:29
  Okay, I've seen the first Despicable Me, but I haven't
• 1:56:30
  seen anything else. Yeah, there's Despicable Me.
• 1:56:33
  There's Despicable Me 2 and there's Despicable Me 3.
• 1:56:37
  Second one is like when he meets a girl and becomes like I think
• 1:56:42
  she's a spy and she like becomes part of the family and then the
• 1:56:47
  and one I think is, when he like basically tries to become a good
• 1:56:49
  guy, see also re-released in the first one, okay?
• 1:56:55
  And that's really all you need to see it, to be honest.
• 1:56:58
  I don't remember if I saw the Minions movie.
• 1:57:00
  I think I did. I feel like I've seen clips from
• 1:57:03
  it, like it does. Isn't it like, from like how
• 1:57:06
  they evolved, like it starts off in?
• 1:57:07
  Like, yeah, it's basically how they meet grew, but it like
• 1:57:13
  shows like their creation basically.
• 1:57:16
  I think real story. Trailer for it.
• 1:57:18
  So I know the premise of the movie, but I act didn't actually
• 1:57:20
  watch it because it focuses on like, three main ones.
• 1:57:24
  I know one of them is Kevin Kevin and I forgot the other
• 1:57:31
  ones and then there's one, which is one I think, is his name.
• 1:57:35
  Like I want to say like Bob or something, girl, I don't
• 1:57:38
  remember. Who Indians movie look out for
• 1:57:46
  Jackson's song to be part of that official soundtrack.
• 1:57:50
  That would be the only reason I would watch that movie.
• 1:57:53
  I mean, you can also just listen to the album despite his song
• 1:57:59
  that man just never never takes a break working all the time,
• 1:58:04
  right? But yes and then 14 which is the
• 1:58:12
  only song that's actually going to be available on digital
• 1:58:15
  because that's their other. New song is called for youth,
• 1:58:20
  cool. And of course, I can tell that's
• 1:58:22
  a new Army song because the for youth is like in the name of
• 1:58:26
  army the acronym. Yeah, adorable representation.
• 1:58:34
  Why can I never remember this acronym?
• 1:58:36
  Send. It is right represent.
• 1:58:38
  What did I say? You said he said representation.
• 1:58:42
  Yeah. As a sampling Representatives.
• 1:58:45
  Same thing, what a bad fan. No, seriously, though, what is
• 1:59:05
  it? I don't know whole thing but you
• 1:59:07
  said you said representation, but it's Representatives.
• 1:59:11
  Those are two different. It's a representative for youth
• 1:59:18
  or of Youth, yeah. Yeah, something like that.
• 1:59:22
  Where is the m? AR.
• 1:59:29
  Where's the music? I'ma look this up.
• 1:59:38
  It is adorable representative. MC for Hughes and see.
• 1:59:44
  This is like what is the m That's a lot of just that's like
• 1:59:52
  but isn't you know what never mind.
• 1:59:54
  Yeah that's it guys. That's proof.
• 1:59:57
  Let me solve talking because I'm rambling and stumbling a lot but
• 2:00:03
  I'm excited and I have begged everyone if we can talk about it
• 2:00:07
  when it comes out because we manifested for be.
• 2:00:10
  So of course, when I'm do it for this one and bring it already
• 2:00:12
  said, yes. So I'm sure we'll do an album
• 2:00:15
  review. I don't know if we'll do all we
• 2:00:16
  just like the new songs or all the songs.
• 2:00:20
  Especially if the weather there be mastered or not.
• 2:00:23
  That's true, but we'll see. So, stay tuned for that and she
• 2:00:28
  has already pre-ordered this album so I'm sure she could talk
• 2:00:31
  about CD3. I like to wait.
• 2:00:33
  I told her this to I was like listen everyone and their
• 2:00:36
  mothers are going on tour right now.
• 2:00:39
  So like I just have a feeling when this drops some type of
• 2:00:42
  tour is going to be a now. So I need to save accordingly
• 2:00:45
  and properly so that the alpha blader or I can buy it at the
• 2:00:49
  venue but I need to save up. I need to be ready.
• 2:00:52
  I'm prepared. Yeah.
• 2:00:57
  And also, at the time of this recording, my birthday is on
• 2:01:02
  Saturday and I will be the big 25.
• 2:01:07
  You get to join the old person Club.
• 2:01:09
  Welcome to join the old person Club.
• 2:01:13
  Welcome my God, I already feel it in my body for it.
• 2:01:17
  I don't think I'm doing anything.
• 2:01:18
  I'm sure. My dad will, like, drag me out
• 2:01:21
  at least lunch so I'm not stuck in the house but like, you know,
• 2:01:27
  I don't know if this is just a man thing but my dad hasn't, it
• 2:01:32
  is not his fault because usually I don't really ask for anything
• 2:01:35
  or like I'm that type of person where, like, if I have the
• 2:01:38
  money, and if I want something, I usually buy it for myself.
• 2:01:41
  So it's kind of hard to get a gift for me.
• 2:01:44
  But like this year, I was like, you know what?
• 2:01:46
  I want him to actually get me a gift.
• 2:01:48
  So I told him like, Hey, Dad, my shoes are very old and the ones
• 2:01:51
  I wear to work or if basically going to start having holes in
• 2:01:53
  them, why don't you just give me some new shoes?
• 2:01:55
  And he's like so you don't want the money for The new shoes.
• 2:01:58
  I'm like, always give me the money and I pick out my gifts.
• 2:02:02
  Actually want a gift from you this time and I'm like, he's
• 2:02:05
  like, do you trust me what the gift I'm like, do you trust
• 2:02:08
  yourself to get me a gift? He's like, well I don't I'm not
• 2:02:12
  sure if I know what you like. What if I don't get your style?
• 2:02:15
  I'm like that is a great thing about receipts.
• 2:02:17
  Father, I could take it back but it's the thought that counts
• 2:02:21
  that you put in the time and effort to get me a gift.
• 2:02:26
  So that's the way you did last night.
• 2:02:27
  Night and then he called me he's like are you sure you trust me
• 2:02:30
  with this? And that's what I reiterate.
• 2:02:32
  I'm like Dad, do you not trust yourself to pick out a decent
• 2:02:35
  gift for me? I'm literally asking for shoes.
• 2:02:38
  Black is the safest option to go already told you my size and
• 2:02:43
  again if they don't fit I could return them or change though.
• 2:02:48
  Exactly. So I'm going through that but
• 2:02:50
  other than that that's good. And then, while he was in that
• 2:02:57
  new group, that was when he came up with his shown, his show new
• 2:03:00
  stage name, which it's a, it's a play on his name, a real name
• 2:03:04
  and it means show you new things as my lover.
• 2:03:11
  Yeah, right. And then as far as he
• 2:03:15
  participates, he is the main dancer.
• 2:03:17
  He participates in a lot of their choreo creation and he was
• 2:03:21
  on hit the stage in 2016. I don't remember what year?
• 2:03:25
  Yugyeom was on it. It doesn't also 2016.
• 2:03:28
  They I think they may have competed against each other.
• 2:03:30
  Oh God. Which I believe you?
• 2:03:32
  Come one. Yeah, but he was on the show and
• 2:03:35
  then like I said earlier, he enlisted in the military July,
• 2:03:39
  22 of 20, 22, July 22nd of 23, no 2021 may see.
• 2:03:48
  We're in May, you said 2022, we are in May of 2022.
• 2:03:59
  Later in July. That's what months.
• 2:04:07
  That's what I was. So happy he went last year like
• 2:04:10
  last year 2020. I'm like, there's no way I knew
• 2:04:14
  it. Yep. 2021.
• 2:04:17
  Dang it. But what's wrong with me?
• 2:04:19
  It's fine. It's fine.
• 2:04:23
  Remember time is an illusion, so it's All Tha good.
• 2:04:27
  It was. That's why I was twenty.
• 2:04:28
  Second this me up? I'd wrote 2220 twice.
• 2:04:31
  Okay? Cuz I was like we're in May.
• 2:04:35
  Yeah, he wouldn't have gone yet. If that was the case.
• 2:04:39
  That's why I thought that hasn't been at the military.
• 2:04:42
  Yeah, I suppose 2020, but I knew it was either.
• 2:04:45
  Yes, but he's on all the other albums.
• 2:04:48
  Except for this new one, right? So whether he was participating
• 2:04:54
  probably not, but he's On them, like, it's voice because, yeah,
• 2:04:57
  because I remember, I was like, I could have sworn the past
• 2:05:00
  ones. His vocals are yes, what was her
• 2:05:03
  on there? But I thought he wasn't
• 2:05:04
  promoting with them. That's why I got confused.
• 2:05:09
  Okay. Well anyway - my my my
• 2:05:13
  misinformation it's okay. You we corrected it?
• 2:05:17
  Hmm, I've been really confusing. If I posted this in made usage
• 2:05:21
  alive, 2022 of like shouldn't you still be in the group with
• 2:05:27
  promotions not good? It's funny mishap Okay.
• 2:05:37
  Ready for the next one I am. Ready, are you ready?
• 2:05:40
  Yep, as I said, this is City. Gotta bring some SpongeBob in
• 2:05:44
  there, your favorite? Yeah, next home is.
• 2:05:48
  Fatal love with the title track. Love killer
• 2:06:09
  My eyes straight into my eyes and said, hey, what's eating?
• 2:06:14
  You like main dish? I don't know who he's, I don't
• 2:06:17
  know if he wants me to eat him as a main dish and he wants to
• 2:06:21
  eat me as a main dish but I will sign up for either one, you
• 2:06:25
  know, it's fine either. With let's go.
• 2:06:29
  I am killed me in that music video.
• 2:06:32
  Remember seeing was freaking out and that song came out
• 2:06:34
  especially that part It's like, wow.
• 2:06:41
  Wow. Okay.
• 2:06:47
  So yes, we will be talking about proof which is the Anthology
• 2:06:53
  album that just came out by BTS celebrating their ninth
• 2:06:58
  anniversary before we get into the album.
• 2:07:02
  I figured I should just talk a little bit about Festa since
• 2:07:06
  June is the month that they debut and they always celebrate
• 2:07:09
  like the first I would say two weeks really of June for their
• 2:07:15
  debut and then just happened. We're on the time, they dropped
• 2:07:18
  the album, which I'm sure it was intentional, especially learning
• 2:07:21
  the stuff. We know, now, it's like, At
• 2:07:24
  first before I was a boy, when I was oblivious of, like, I was
• 2:07:27
  feel like I was going to say so much different stuff.
• 2:07:29
  And now, the stuff I know, now I'm like, I just see everything
• 2:07:32
  so differently, you know, like when you speculate something,
• 2:07:35
  but you either choose to ignore it or like, it just doesn't
• 2:07:38
  catch up. And then like, when something's
• 2:07:40
  revealed like when you're watching a really good TV show
• 2:07:43
  and then like everything is revealed I need to start looking
• 2:07:45
  back like all the clues were there.
• 2:07:48
  It's just yeah, I heard it before.
• 2:07:50
  I wasn't paying close attention hindsight, right?
• 2:07:54
  And you start seeing it. It's like it was right there and
• 2:07:57
  your face. Yeah, this whole type.
• 2:08:00
  So it's time to have a feeling for the past week.
• 2:08:04
  Yeah, that's how I felt too. So all of us have been like
• 2:08:10
  mentally bracing for this for a long time.
• 2:08:12
  Yeah. Because the longevity of K-pop
• 2:08:15
  groups is kind of speculated. So Mmm.
• 2:08:17
  Yeah, we knew it was coming and I knew it was coming.
• 2:08:21
  I was always prepared, but I think it just happened quicker
• 2:08:24
  than I thought or I was expecting it later in the year.
• 2:08:29
  So. But anyway, let's talk a little
• 2:08:33
  bit above Festa. Then this one was a little
• 2:08:35
  different and it should have been my first clue because even
• 2:08:38
  when they posted like the little schedule of like what they're
• 2:08:42
  going to do each day, I kind of said to myself, I was like, oh,
• 2:08:46
  I mean I I also thought it was cuz like the album was coming
• 2:08:49
  out and like you know me I was even up, you'll hear an old
• 2:08:54
  podcast episodes. I just kept saying like oh
• 2:08:56
  they're gonna go on tour, they're gonna go on tour so I
• 2:08:59
  thought it was like maybe they're not holding a concert
• 2:09:01
  for Fest so that they always did because they're preparing for
• 2:09:04
  tour. Well.
• 2:09:05
  How wrong I was wrong. I was it's okay but yes.
• 2:09:15
  That's it. So we're going to go ahead and
• 2:09:17
  move on with the second song called run BTS.
• 2:09:24
  It's is run BTS, on the second CD, don't a second CD, right?
• 2:09:28
  That starts gonna, I think so. I think yet to comes on the
• 2:09:31
  first CD and run bts's on the second, one is the first song
• 2:09:35
  that starts off like the CD where the members chose songs
• 2:09:38
  that felt like they represent them.
• 2:09:40
  So this song was produced by them joints for you.
• 2:09:45
  You made us what we are LLC and ghost Loop and then the writers
• 2:09:51
  are. It's Wayne Abernathy Junior.
• 2:09:53
  Who is actual them joints? His real name.
• 2:09:57
  RM Ebenezer. J-hope, go slip, Jungkook sugar
• 2:10:04
  one. I Daniel Caesar Ludwig.
• 2:10:09
  Lindell Melanie Joy Fontana. Michael Lindgren, show.
• 2:10:15
  Schultz and feli Ferraro their lord.
• 2:10:25
  Don't stumble and mispronounce. These
• 2:10:52
  Okay. Another controversial thing that
• 2:10:54
  I wanted to bring up with the sock so I don't remember if this
• 2:11:00
  happened before. We did our Kpop highlights or
• 2:11:05
  Not. But when the tracklist.
• 2:11:09
  Was released Macy before I get into it.
• 2:11:12
  Do you recognize the name joints?
• 2:11:15
  Because you listened to other K-pop groups.
• 2:11:18
  Vaguely. Okay.
• 2:11:20
  No, I don't know anything about him or what he also has worked
• 2:11:23
  on. I've just heard the name.
• 2:11:25
  Yes. So he's actually a really like
• 2:11:27
  involved producer like he's worked with a lot of artists.
• 2:11:30
  If you do just like a quick Google search that I did last
• 2:11:33
  night because I know him through Kpop.
• 2:11:34
  I don't know about his other work three-time, not nominated.
• 2:11:38
  I'm not. If you want any Grammys and it's
• 2:11:41
  just some names, like, Western artists that I'll point out.
• 2:11:43
  That he's worked with Eminem, dr.
• 2:11:45
  Dre Kanye, real Rihanna, Janet Jackson, those are big names
• 2:11:52
  that he has helped make songs for for Kpop.
• 2:11:55
  He works a lot with SM, specifically, NCT and NCT 127.
• 2:12:01
  So if you hear a song, I know, it's also in Chinese New Year
• 2:12:06
  song, don't call me and that new girl group and mix and a lot of
• 2:12:11
  nct's. If you hear a song, start off
• 2:12:13
  with the introducing, that's him.
• 2:12:16
  Hmm. So, you've heard his work Work.
• 2:12:18
  Yeah. Especially us because we're, you
• 2:12:20
  know, we listen to other groups, what they call us on the
• 2:12:23
  internet Maltese. I'm doing air quotes for people
• 2:12:26
  who can't see me. So when people who know him and
• 2:12:31
  I tweeted this on our like, podcast Twitter account, because
• 2:12:37
  I was like, out of all the things, I have seed being
• 2:12:41
  involved in Kpop, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen
• 2:12:45
  because people were getting mad that he was involved in the
• 2:12:47
  song. Long before we even heard the
• 2:12:51
  song because they know he's associated with NCT and these
• 2:12:55
  weird fandom Wars and I still don't understand, I'm really
• 2:12:59
  getting tired of like over with. And like, I know people were
• 2:13:03
  getting mad at him because he quoted someone who was, like, I
• 2:13:07
  forgot what the Tweet said, but he like basically clap back and
• 2:13:10
  I know some people will like, why are you clapping back in an
• 2:13:12
  account that was just made today?
• 2:13:14
  I'm like, you really think someone who's being attacked for
• 2:13:17
  no goddamn reason. Reason is going to take time
• 2:13:19
  look in their account, be like, oh this must be a troll, they
• 2:13:22
  just made it today. Like no, I'm going to answer you
• 2:13:24
  back. It's so stupid.
• 2:13:26
  I'm sorry. But like he will, first of all,
• 2:13:31
  regardless of who he's worked with, before he is a I'm
• 2:13:35
  assuming a producer. Yes, writer both.
• 2:13:38
  So like he he has no claim to one specific group.
• 2:13:43
  He's worked for these other artists including in CDs.
• 2:13:46
  And now it's a problem that he's working with them there.
• 2:13:48
  Propofol expressed specifically, BTS.
• 2:13:50
  I know like I was seeing some tweets were there, like, they
• 2:13:53
  better not hear like, you know, how I just did his producer tag
• 2:13:56
  a while ago, like here, that on the song.
• 2:13:59
  And now that the songs released. Now, this is one of the most,
• 2:14:01
  like, talked about songs that I've hurt I've seen.
• 2:14:04
  And I'm like, okay, I mean, obviously he's good if you like
• 2:14:07
  him doing other songs, why would she want to spread that that
• 2:14:11
  Talent elsewhere because I just thought it was so dumb.
• 2:14:17
  And I Stand that so I can see there.
• 2:14:19
  I just thought it was dumb. These are good or not man but
• 2:14:22
  like I felt he's got and I was going his big if he has an
• 2:14:25
  opportunity to work with being strong at it.
• 2:14:32
  So he has no obligation to stick with one person or group unless
• 2:14:37
  he's under a contract and obviously he's not so that's
• 2:14:41
  dumb. And is this fun?
• 2:14:42
  Is this funny to me have at it like how this conversation
• 2:14:45
  turned Once song was released? Like I'm not gonna forget y'all
• 2:14:52
  talking about this man. Calling about his name for you,
• 2:14:55
  but heard a note of it and so that just really pissed me off
• 2:15:01
  and I just had to say it because people were out of pocket for
• 2:15:04
  that. I don't care who you stand, that
• 2:15:06
  was so uncalled for. Yeah.
• 2:15:09
  So, and like you said, I'm sure you agree.
• 2:15:13
  It's our favorite song. Yeah. 35, by far, I it's
• 2:15:17
  constantly on her. Repeat in my car right now.
• 2:15:19
  Like I did when I first chorus like hit and j-hope was growling
• 2:15:24
  that? Run, bulletproof, run.
• 2:15:26
  I was like the way women and Jungkook, sing the word
• 2:15:30
  gasoline, perfect. I'll just like, oh my God, it's
• 2:15:36
  his eye. I have no words.
• 2:15:38
  Like I can't express how much I'm looking does it too?
• 2:15:40
  But like, just the specific, yeah.
• 2:15:47
  Okay, so let me get it to the serious part.
• 2:15:50
  So, like I just said, about the map, not the sole.
• 2:15:52
  So, this is where like the 22 Mark namjoo starts, like getting
• 2:15:56
  more serious. And he talks about like the
• 2:15:57
  difficulties of him, like being creative.
• 2:16:00
  And, like, starting questioning, the route BTS are going as a
• 2:16:04
  group after butter and permission to dance.
• 2:16:06
  I also didn't mention this, and I didn't know if I should say
• 2:16:08
  this, like, cuz its shade, but notice how they didn't put my
• 2:16:11
  permission to dance on Anthology album.
• 2:16:18
  Just saying, just saying, but anyway, yeah, they didn't really
• 2:16:23
  talk about that song in general. They kept just saying, you know,
• 2:16:28
  butter, they might, you know. No, we don't need to talk about
• 2:16:35
  10 and like I said earlier, he expressed more that he started,
• 2:16:41
  like questioning this during on, and it got worse after butter,
• 2:16:45
  because, like, he basically just said, like, he's running out of
• 2:16:48
  stories to tell. Tell like he just doesn't know
• 2:16:49
  what to say anymore. And then I've seen this quote
• 2:16:53
  floating around. So like eat does kind of take a
• 2:16:57
  jab at the Kpop and I'll system, which I don't blame him for I
• 2:17:01
  know because he's now I'm doing for BTS.
• 2:17:04
  Even if you're a Kpop fan, like people might take this the wrong
• 2:17:07
  way but like what you said isn't wrong.
• 2:17:09
  So he says like the problem with the Kpop and Idol system, they
• 2:17:13
  don't give you time to mature, you have to keep producing music
• 2:17:16
  and keep doing other stuff. Is no time left for growth.
• 2:17:20
  It is not just about music and work.
• 2:17:22
  And like I feel like I've said that before with other groups I
• 2:17:25
  like like I've said that about 80s, I would consider them my
• 2:17:28
  second or third favorite group. And every time they come back, I
• 2:17:31
  was like damn and you'll just have a comeback month ago like
• 2:17:35
  break. It's just, it seems like their
• 2:17:37
  main focus and thinners tree is just production.
• 2:17:40
  Like, how much can you ask? Jesus, how quickly can we
• 2:17:43
  produce it? So how much can we produce while
• 2:17:46
  y'all are still young and able? To leg dance without your body's
• 2:17:51
  breaking down at this point with the hard choreographies, as much
• 2:17:55
  as I like, go up for the choreographies, it like the
• 2:17:59
  music because it is more like, and I think that's why I
• 2:18:03
  gravitated more towards Kpop because I don't know if I ever
• 2:18:06
  express this but like it's kind of like what the American system
• 2:18:10
  kind of stopped doing. Especially since they stopped
• 2:18:12
  producing groups as artists. Like it's not as fun anymore.
• 2:18:16
  Like it's still good music, a lot.
• 2:18:18
  Of artists produce like good meaningful music messages.
• 2:18:21
  But just like, you know, sometimes you just want to have
• 2:18:24
  a nice one song, You Can Dance to MMM.
• 2:18:28
  So this is really my thing, but I understand like you're right
• 2:18:32
  like and that's why we would always bring up the point when
• 2:18:36
  people would call Jin Oldham like he's not all these just old
• 2:18:39
  in the idol system because they put them on a shelf life.
• 2:18:44
  I mean just in general people especially in the end of the day
• 2:18:47
  be like when you're 30 or do Dead.
• 2:18:49
  So we're always in the grave Macy.
• 2:18:51
  Yay. Five more years, finally.
• 2:19:05
  One of my favorite, one of my favorite Jenna Marbles lines.
• 2:19:10
  Life is short, but it's also incredibly and painfully and
• 2:19:14
  disgustingly long. We're okay, guys Tapas?
• 2:19:23
  Um, anyway moving on. Yes.
• 2:19:28
  Oh and then they just kept continuing expressing their
• 2:19:32
  like, just how busy they were especially after diet of my.
• 2:19:35
  And I always said that, like, after Dynamite they blew up and
• 2:19:40
  away, no one expected them to. I'm sure even themselves.
• 2:19:44
  So it's only been two years. I still really a short amount of
• 2:19:47
  time. So just to be able to handle all
• 2:19:52
  of that all at once. Like they were already big but
• 2:19:55
  it just got like 10 times and then just like expressing how.
• 2:20:02
  He just even feel time to like think or like think about his
• 2:20:07
  own schedule and just had to be so focused on everyone and the
• 2:20:11
  group and just like trying to figure out with this new
• 2:20:16
  Newfound Fame basically how to push the group anymore because
• 2:20:20
  if he doesn't know what to talk about, then what does that mean?
• 2:20:23
  And then like and I was also thinking this too, that's why I
• 2:20:26
  thought it was weird before I knew what was happening, like
• 2:20:29
  they weren't holding like a Festa, he brought up like all
• 2:20:31
  the carnival, my carnivals, all the festivals that are happening
• 2:20:35
  since covid restrictions are, like, being lifted.
• 2:20:38
  And he gave the same example. I was thinking of a sigh, like,
• 2:20:40
  I've seen a lot of videos of side doing like conscious for,
• 2:20:45
  like, there's like thousands of People in the audience for that
• 2:20:48
  that and he was like, it'd be probably great if he like we
• 2:20:51
  started doing stuff like that but like it's tired.
• 2:20:56
  So I don't know, the city that just made me sad.
• 2:21:01
  Is this? Like even they said this, but
• 2:21:04
  like I just felt bad that they not just scared, but they just
• 2:21:09
  felt like they were letting people down and I'm really happy
• 2:21:12
  tail and kind of like told him like most of the fans would
• 2:21:15
  understand it still because even if even with fans, you know,
• 2:21:20
  there are going to be those few that are just like not their
• 2:21:24
  expectations being down but they are going to take it like the
• 2:21:26
  wrong way. So yeah.
• 2:21:28
  Hey, I think that's what made me more sad than the fact that they
• 2:21:32
  are taking a little bit of a break is that they were so
• 2:21:37
  afraid to tell people they were going to take a break.
• 2:21:40
  Like they just kept saying, I hope you understand, I hope you
• 2:21:42
  understand that like we're not complaining about having this
• 2:21:45
  great opportunity but we're just expressing the hardships that
• 2:21:48
  we've been going through and like they feel comfortable
• 2:21:51
  enough to share that with us and now they're getting some
• 2:21:54
  backlash on being able to share that with us.
• 2:21:57
  That's What makes me a little sad.
• 2:21:59
  Like of course I'm like I'm sad or whatever about like not being
• 2:22:04
  able to go to concerts and whatnot but like in not having
• 2:22:07
  the group as a whole but from what they have been saying and
• 2:22:11
  how I've taken it as this is not like they're still going to be
• 2:22:15
  content like they just want to do solo stuff and develop as
• 2:22:19
  individual artists in order to come back as a better group with
• 2:22:23
  fresh ideas and like a healthier aspect towards it.
• 2:22:27
  So like I think like Like, before I've seen a lot of people
• 2:22:29
  like, really upset. It's like obedience has done
• 2:22:32
  their over. What's, whatever.
• 2:22:35
  I didn't necessarily take it like that.
• 2:22:36
  And I don't think that that's what they were trying to
• 2:22:39
  express. And I think by all means they've
• 2:22:42
  been doing this for like 10 years.
• 2:22:44
  I would be tired. Yeah, like you can only produce
• 2:22:46
  so much. So like this is very minimal
• 2:22:50
  what they're asking for. Like I do not think that it
• 2:22:53
  should be taken like this that they just need to breathe for a
• 2:22:57
  minute. Right.
• 2:22:59
  It goes the one of the thing. How many were talking about
• 2:23:01
  boundaries earlier? That's one of the things where
• 2:23:04
  it's kind of like you need to know your boundaries because you
• 2:23:06
  don't know that you don't know them outside of the Artistry and
• 2:23:12
  like I said like I do feel like the relationship they have with
• 2:23:16
  their fans is different, but at the same time like people need
• 2:23:18
  to learn to respect that to still at the end of day.
• 2:23:21
  They're human like what I'm doing is talking about like they
• 2:23:24
  all another thing. I like them because I feel like
• 2:23:27
  you can't Tell they all really do care about each other.
• 2:23:30
  Like, yes, they were a group of like they didn't know each other
• 2:23:33
  at first and kind of just brought together over one thing.
• 2:23:36
  But like, you can see, they really did develop a
• 2:23:40
  relationship with each other, like throughout the whole thing.
• 2:23:44
  So, if they still want to be like bands, like now, like want
• 2:23:47
  to be like a Coldplay or like, I don't know other, I don't know.
• 2:23:51
  I'm not into that many bands, guys, I'm sorry.
• 2:23:53
  But if you just want the longevity, you do need to be
• 2:23:56
  able to explore your own. Visual ality as an artist and
• 2:24:00
  projects you want to do before coming back as a band.
• 2:24:03
  So right. And I think that, you know, if
• 2:24:06
  any group is going to break out of this like stereotypical Kpop
• 2:24:10
  industry, it's going to be them. Like I think that they can have
• 2:24:13
  a longevity but they need to break out of it first.
• 2:24:17
  So I think this is a good opportunity to do so is like
• 2:24:20
  develop as individual artists and then come back as a new
• 2:24:23
  group that is not sanctioned by the rules of the ACT.
• 2:24:28
  That they've been in even in the Kpop industry.
• 2:24:31
  Like y'all are seeing we pointed it out.
• 2:24:34
  Oh I pointed out one time there's like a new resurrection
• 2:24:37
  of like 2nd gen groups coming back together as the group.
• 2:24:41
  So even in the Kpop industry, you're seeing people that like
• 2:24:45
  didn't technically disband, but they went their separate ways
• 2:24:48
  and now they're coming back. Like, and even with the guy
• 2:24:51
  groups for like the men that are going off into military, it just
• 2:24:53
  really depends on the group and the company, if they want to
• 2:24:56
  continue while their members are going off, Off and doing
• 2:24:59
  Service, as a group of do individual stuff, like you see,
• 2:25:01
  Monsta X there on a tour. Right now.
• 2:25:03
  I'll show new is in the military's one.
• 2:25:06
  Another one is like super junior.
• 2:25:09
  I can point out shiny is just like EXO's doing it if you want
• 2:25:13
  to keep it in the Kpop world. But like you're saying they kind
• 2:25:17
  of the still in that and they're kind of not.
• 2:25:20
  So they kind of have a foot in the Kpop industry in the kind of
• 2:25:22
  foot and just like Western Not even just Western but just like
• 2:25:29
  one foot in one foot out, basically is what I'm saying.
• 2:25:32
  So like at the end of the day BTS is just BTS and they're, you
• 2:25:35
  know, kind of a unique situation and I think that they want just
• 2:25:41
  as much as we want / it to be a long journey, not a short one.
• 2:25:45
  So in order to do that, you got to live your life and take
• 2:25:49
  breaks. And like you said, like, live
• 2:25:52
  outside of this Persona that you've created for yourself
• 2:25:55
  because he Like doesn't know who he is anymore because, yeah, I'm
• 2:25:58
  doing this for the majority of his Materia nage.
• 2:26:01
  We also like, I don't, I can I get it, you know.
• 2:26:07
  Yeah, yunji brought up how it's even hard for him.
• 2:26:10
  Now to write lyrics basically on the same page is like non-jew
• 2:26:14
  because like any brought up an interesting point where he's
• 2:26:18
  like, he's kind of over doing stuff to satisfy other people,
• 2:26:23
  but also he said something that really struck me.
• 2:26:26
  Where he like at the beginning, he lacked the skills but had all
• 2:26:29
  these ideas. Now he has the skills and he has
• 2:26:32
  nothing to say. So that really says a lot.
• 2:26:36
  Yeah. I'm actually really, really
• 2:26:37
  looking forward to what their individual sounds will sound
• 2:26:42
  like I'm so excited. BTS has a certain sound or
• 2:26:46
  whatever you want to classify it as so I'm curious.
• 2:26:50
  Obviously we've seen it already in a little bit of their like
• 2:26:52
  solo songs like you. They definitely have their own
• 2:26:55
  personalities that shine. Through their solo songs.
• 2:26:57
  But when it's really totally up to them from like production and
• 2:27:01
  lyrics and whatnot like they have creative control completely
• 2:27:05
  over their stuff. I think it's going to be really
• 2:27:07
  interesting to see that and I'm looking forward to it, like,
• 2:27:10
  even you and you mentioned something about like if I had my
• 2:27:13
  own concert it would be boring. So like, but he's thinking about
• 2:27:17
  it which is so cool. Which I got a problem with that
• 2:27:20
  because he was like, if I just wrapped like, you know, there
• 2:27:23
  are actual rappers out there who just wrap, it will be fine.
• 2:27:26
  You're fine at rapping understand like and that's great
• 2:27:29
  that you want to do other stuff. But I don't think people would
• 2:27:31
  be upset but also I wanted to bring up that you mention it
• 2:27:34
  like with their solo activities. I hope they still don't get
• 2:27:37
  burnt out. Yes, no I wanted.
• 2:27:39
  It should be. I think the whole hopefully the
• 2:27:42
  the idea of this is they're taking a break for like health
• 2:27:45
  and resting and whatnot and also to self-discovery.
• 2:27:48
  So if they happen to produce some music through that
• 2:27:51
  self-discovery that's what would be healthy and good and what I'm
• 2:27:55
  looking forward to Because I know, Jin brought up a thing
• 2:27:57
  where he was talking about, like, he felt bad just like just
• 2:28:00
  taking a rest and laying down and then you can be sent him his
• 2:28:02
  schedule and he was like, but it's okay.
• 2:28:07
  You can get, you can also take a rest, even the slight, like,
• 2:28:13
  scheduled Nam. June was talking about.
• 2:28:15
  Like, like how you said may see. What do you have time to
• 2:28:17
  breathe? Yeah.
• 2:28:18
  Do you do eat like, what's going on?
• 2:28:20
  I don't think so, but I hope I had to do is like, huh?
• 2:28:26
  Mention the Highlight thing. And as much stuff as we made fun
• 2:28:30
  of black pink for being it, musical artists and how they
• 2:28:34
  don't make much music. I have that more with the
• 2:28:36
  company than themselves. They seems to be doing fine and
• 2:28:39
  enjoying what they're doing individually.
• 2:28:42
  So yeah, I don't think I just don't think it's necessary but
• 2:28:46
  turns into a thing like that. Yeah, to be like, oh, this is
• 2:28:49
  the end of the world, you know. Because like this is going to be
• 2:28:52
  really healthy thing for them. I think they're going to enjoy
• 2:28:54
  it. And I think that, That they love
• 2:28:57
  their group. So much that there's no way that
• 2:28:59
  they wouldn't come back unless they just like, you know, yeah,
• 2:29:05
  living their lives and things get beyond what they're
• 2:29:09
  expecting, but I think people are like morning this group
• 2:29:13
  that's like disappearing, which that's just not the case.
• 2:29:16
  So I won't go too wide to tweet something were like before this.
• 2:29:20
  It wasn't really a morning. I think I've expressed more of
• 2:29:22
  those exciting for their things than really being sad.
• 2:29:26
  I don't remember all I said, but initially before I, before I
• 2:29:30
  watched the dinner, I was just seeing what people were saying
• 2:29:34
  and I was like, oh crap. Like they just, are we done, is
• 2:29:37
  this it and that made me a little bit sad, but then once I
• 2:29:41
  washed it, I was like, okay, I'm fine.
• 2:29:43
  This is obviously they need this and we're still going to be
• 2:29:46
  seeing them. They're still going to be in my
• 2:29:49
  realm of like what I'm looking at and what not?
• 2:29:52
  And hopefully, when they come back, they'll feel refreshed and
• 2:29:55
  have a new story. Re and all that fun stuff.
• 2:29:58
  So exactly what them to enjoy what they're doing.
• 2:30:01
  Because like, I feel like he's it I think June said it a couple
• 2:30:05
  of times where it's like, I'm sorry for not meeting your
• 2:30:10
  expectations and I'm like dude, what expectations, because
• 2:30:13
  you've blown through like anything that I think anybody
• 2:30:17
  expected from them, why? I mean like I don't know what
• 2:30:21
  you're trying to prove but you you're good, you know you can
• 2:30:24
  take it easy because like I do I certainly don't expect anything
• 2:30:28
  more and like they've done such a great job with their fandom
• 2:30:32
  already. Like they're probably one of the
• 2:30:34
  most well-known musical acts ever.
• 2:30:38
  So like I don't know how you're letting anybody down.
• 2:30:42
  And it's sad to me to think that they think that they're letting
• 2:30:45
  people down. So especially Nam June as the
• 2:30:49
  leader and he said some other stuff too, like how when they
• 2:30:53
  were getting more famous like, especially with the English.
• 2:30:56
  It was hard for him because he really is the only one for now.
• 2:30:59
  That is the most fluent in English and he's like these
• 2:31:03
  interviews are hard because like I can't speak for the other
• 2:31:06
  members because I'm not in their mind and it's hard for
• 2:31:08
  translation to really like Express how they want to talk
• 2:31:12
  about something. So like he says, sometimes he
• 2:31:14
  felt bad because he felt like he was talking for them.
• 2:31:17
  And that's not really what he wanted to do, which makes sense,
• 2:31:22
  especially when you're trying to translate differently, but
• 2:31:24
  that's why I always enjoyed life.
• 2:31:26
  Now, watch interviews and he would get to speak as native
• 2:31:28
  language and they have like another translator or like they
• 2:31:31
  were translated himself because it gets them all a chance to
• 2:31:34
  express themselves. So and I just I just think it
• 2:31:38
  hits in the hardest like I said he is like the leader so and it
• 2:31:42
  charges a lot of stuff on stability on his shoulders that
• 2:31:46
  you know, for not even being the oldest gone a little too far.
• 2:31:49
  So I think it's really good that they're going to take a break
• 2:31:51
  from it. Despite what other people might
• 2:31:53
  be saying yes that about So, especially towards the end when
• 2:31:58
  he started crying. Oh my God, like any of them cry,
• 2:32:03
  especially the members that barely cry like him.
• 2:32:07
  Like and I think we're kind of like the same.
• 2:32:11
  We're like, we don't cry a lot. What if we do?
• 2:32:14
  It's kind of just like, oh my God, like this is serious, like
• 2:32:18
  the really tired. Like I remember, I don't know if
• 2:32:20
  I sit on the podcast, I think I said, I think I scared you.
• 2:32:23
  When we went to go see them in New York and we were waiting
• 2:32:26
  eating for our plane and we were just kind of sitting there, you
• 2:32:29
  saw me just crying. I mean, there was other stuff
• 2:32:34
  that was going on and I expressed it was mostly because
• 2:32:37
  the text my brother sent me, and it was just thinking of that
• 2:32:40
  whole week. We had like, I had so much fun,
• 2:32:42
  like I just got more emotional than I thought I would, but it's
• 2:32:45
  just like that. It's just like, you can tell
• 2:32:48
  like, Like, he's really tired. And I feel like I've said,
• 2:32:52
  pointed out stuff before I said it looked like they're tired,
• 2:32:54
  but like I can tell they're exhausted, I really needed to
• 2:32:57
  have this break and for everyone that's showing and sharing those
• 2:33:01
  memes and videos from crying please stop.
• 2:33:03
  Because it's not funny, it's really not funny.
• 2:33:07
  It's so heartbreaking because it would be different if he was
• 2:33:09
  just, you know, if they were just like as an example, if they
• 2:33:13
  were just leaving and he was just like getting emotional
• 2:33:17
  about this times, They had and what not, but he is breaking
• 2:33:20
  down crying because he's just so tired and he doesn't have
• 2:33:24
  anything more to give. And he doesn't want to say that
• 2:33:27
  he doesn't, which is so yes. I broke my heart more and I'm
• 2:33:31
  glad I waited to watch the video because if I watched it when it
• 2:33:33
  dropped, like everyone else, I would have been sobbing.
• 2:33:36
  I know, sorry, a texted me. She was sobbing, but it was like
• 2:33:39
  that just makes in. Like, sometimes I'm sitting
• 2:33:41
  here, I'm like, is it also my fault?
• 2:33:43
  Because like, I was saying earlier, High kept expressing.
• 2:33:46
  Like I don't know what's happening, but like they're
• 2:33:48
  going to go on. Or I can't wait and I'm like I'm
• 2:33:52
  not disappointed though. If you need a break, you need a
• 2:33:55
  break and that's why I think that admire them about like
• 2:33:58
  they're so yeah there's at the top right now.
• 2:34:01
  They're so high for them to be as high they are right now and
• 2:34:04
  saying like we need a break before we literally burn out and
• 2:34:08
  just like give up on this completely, I respect that a
• 2:34:10
  lot. Yeah, I think there's a
• 2:34:12
  difference between, you know, like of course you're excited
• 2:34:15
  about new concerts and new albums like that's Part of
• 2:34:19
  what's keeping them going is being excited about that stuff
• 2:34:22
  and like of course, you want to support it when it comes out,
• 2:34:25
  but what I think people are missing is that okay?
• 2:34:30
  We were excited. But now listening to what
• 2:34:32
  they've had to say. You should be able to understand
• 2:34:35
  where they're coming from. And like some people aren't
• 2:34:38
  understanding they're taking it as like, oh they hate us.
• 2:34:40
  They don't want to do this anymore.
• 2:34:42
  They're giving up whereas like, no, it's not what they're
• 2:34:45
  saying. Like you know, it wasn't all
• 2:34:46
  right saying, he's just tired. Once he doesn't want to just
• 2:34:50
  produce music to produce music, he wants to be good music and
• 2:34:53
  have a message and all that stuff.
• 2:34:55
  So you have to take a step back sometimes, like every artist has
• 2:34:59
  art block and like get tired. So like, do you want interests
• 2:35:04
  to be a machine? That produces stuff that doesn't
• 2:35:07
  mean anything or would you rather give him the break that
• 2:35:09
  he deserves and like, be happy doing it as listen, we can see
• 2:35:15
  the difference between when they were making stuff out of their
• 2:35:17
  own enjoyment. For their passion.
• 2:35:20
  And when they were making stuff, just to make stuff and yes, I
• 2:35:23
  will say dynamite and butter and permission to dance.
• 2:35:27
  I'll say it because you can tell the difference and I understand
• 2:35:30
  what he meant by like he was starting to lose his way.
• 2:35:33
  Like I will go up especially for Dynamite, especially the time
• 2:35:36
  that it was and I'm glad they did it to like, try to bring
• 2:35:39
  some type of joy for the fans. But like, that's where a lot of
• 2:35:43
  their criticism was coming from to.
• 2:35:45
  I don't know about Korean media because I don't follow Korean
• 2:35:47
  media. Like that.
• 2:35:49
  And I can't translate the articles that do come out.
• 2:35:51
  So I don't know. But I know especially like
• 2:35:53
  longer-term K-pop fans. You know, how they like, to pick
• 2:35:56
  at them like, oh, they're becoming to westernize.
• 2:35:58
  Which what does that even mean? Again because Kpop is derived
• 2:36:02
  from western music. So I don't understand what
• 2:36:05
  people accuse, a K-Pop group of becoming westernize.
• 2:36:09
  What are you talking about? It's all the same to me besides
• 2:36:14
  the way they train and put out music is different.
• 2:36:17
  But other than that I don't. See the difference?
• 2:36:19
  No, I think it's the same as well.
• 2:36:21
  I think more so than anything is that they don't need to force
• 2:36:24
  themselves to sing in English. That's what I would have the
• 2:36:28
  most problem with like it's not westernized, it's like as the
• 2:36:32
  music do it because you want to not because you're forced to,
• 2:36:34
  yeah, the pop music is westernized already, it's just
• 2:36:37
  slightly. What he was saying is like, I
• 2:36:40
  don't necessarily think that they should be singing an
• 2:36:42
  all-english because 90 percent of them don't speak English so
• 2:36:46
  they can't express themselves. How they?
• 2:36:48
  To in the lyrics. Are we talked about this in
• 2:36:50
  past, the lyrics are very much more basic, like they don't
• 2:36:53
  really have a meeting, it's just a fun song which those songs
• 2:36:57
  have their place, but to keep going and moving forward, they
• 2:37:01
  can't they're not an English group.
• 2:37:02
  That's not how it works. That's not their main language.
• 2:37:04
  That's not how they express themselves because like even
• 2:37:07
  with the Korean songs that I listen to and love like and I'm
• 2:37:10
  going to shout all the translators out there that
• 2:37:13
  you'll be doing the work and doing the word for years.
• 2:37:16
  Like seriously you don't understand, thank you.
• 2:37:18
  Like when I go on to like, either their Twitter accounts,
• 2:37:21
  or if they make their own websites, and they just
• 2:37:23
  explained like you guys don't understand, some of these lyrics
• 2:37:25
  are just so deep like within their culture and just like the
• 2:37:30
  things they've experienced and like that's kind of the same
• 2:37:33
  with English. Like even with English artist
• 2:37:35
  here like deep meaningful song, Sometimes you have to understand
• 2:37:40
  the language and then like if it's from a specific culture,
• 2:37:43
  understand the culture and just like so many thing that goes
• 2:37:46
  with it. I've always hated Argument like
• 2:37:49
  oh learn English because you're so big over here.
• 2:37:52
  No it is not their responsibility to learn English.
• 2:37:55
  If they do not want to it's your responsibility if you want to
• 2:37:57
  listen to their original music, you're going to have to put in
• 2:38:00
  the work to understand it. Even if you don't want to do,
• 2:38:04
  even if you don't want to learn Korean just do your research,
• 2:38:06
  you can find it. Like I said I just shout it out,
• 2:38:08
  a bunch of translators you can find plenty of translators that
• 2:38:12
  like, take their time out of the love for the artist that they
• 2:38:15
  enjoy to share it with the world.
• 2:38:18
  Or like he was articles and that's was breaking down.
• 2:38:21
  What every little thing in their songs and music videos means.
• 2:38:24
  So there's no reason to be ignorant.
• 2:38:26
  Yes, I'm still upset with like also American Media is taking
• 2:38:29
  them this long like because k-pops getting so big to like
• 2:38:33
  start translating on their own and actually hiring professional
• 2:38:36
  translators and I won't even say that for Kpop because they do
• 2:38:39
  that for anything. That is not English.
• 2:38:41
  So I love me some Bad Bunny. He's great but that's just an
• 2:38:46
  example like outside of K-pop Ray.
• 2:38:49
  Like I am a, I would consider myself a more casual is here
• 2:38:53
  because I don't go deep dive. I do on some, like, when I want
• 2:38:57
  to know something what something means, I'll do my research to
• 2:38:59
  figure it out, but you can also just enjoy music to enjoy music.
• 2:39:03
  You don't have to know every little thing.
• 2:39:05
  Yeah, that's something I started learning as I got older really
• 2:39:08
  like, and I think that's why I like dance music so much because
• 2:39:12
  there's a lot of dance music. I listened to that don't have
• 2:39:14
  lyrics, but you can just, you know, you feel it.
• 2:39:17
  So, Way. Overall, a very positive outlook
• 2:39:22
  on why they're doing this. And I think that the reason for
• 2:39:25
  doing it is a really good one, and I hope that they can truly
• 2:39:29
  enjoy the break and not have people harassing them all the
• 2:39:32
  time and like, them be worried about it because they know that
• 2:39:35
  they seem a little bit angry and agitated with how it's been
• 2:39:38
  received already. I hope it doesn't change
• 2:39:41
  anything and they take a good break and they don't regret it
• 2:39:44
  and like, they can actually enjoy it.
• 2:39:46
  So, yes, and I will also be another Bearer of bad news.
• 2:39:50
  I'll be the bad guy today for this episode, I feel like I
• 2:39:52
  already am. I'm sure this has to do with
• 2:39:55
  enlistment, to be honest. I'm Cheryl assessment has to do
• 2:39:59
  with a little bit of this and if what I was talking about with
• 2:40:02
  the on promotion is true, I don't know if maybe like gin and
• 2:40:06
  possibly young because they're not that far apart in age would
• 2:40:09
  have gone earlier, but I because I stopped seeing a lot of
• 2:40:14
  Articles, especially I know they changed like leadership of Like
• 2:40:18
  trying to get them exam, so I do know they're going to have to
• 2:40:21
  go. I don't know for how long I've
• 2:40:23
  said this on. So many things I don't like
• 2:40:25
  talking about their politics, because I'm not Korean.
• 2:40:28
  I don't live in South Korea. I'm not from South Korea, so I
• 2:40:32
  don't feel comfortable talking about stuff.
• 2:40:33
  I don't understand just for a musical group because there's so
• 2:40:36
  much more that goes on outside the music.
• 2:40:39
  But anyway, I do feel like that is part of the reason for them
• 2:40:43
  doing solo projects and they decided they wanted to wait
• 2:40:46
  until they're all seven again. And do solo projects and try to
• 2:40:51
  continue stuff as a group without like one or two members
• 2:40:56
  so appropriate, I think. Yeah, I have every right to do
• 2:40:59
  that and obviously this is a part of culture that we don't
• 2:41:02
  really understand but it's important to them and their
• 2:41:05
  country. So if they're wanting to go and
• 2:41:08
  do this, they have every right to be in.
• 2:41:10
  You should be understanding of it because it happens all the
• 2:41:12
  time with other groups. So why can't it has exactly
• 2:41:15
  this? It's not like this is
• 2:41:17
  uncomprehensible. I don't understand, it's not
• 2:41:20
  like they're doing anything different.
• 2:41:21
  And I think we've also said in the past that it just wouldn't
• 2:41:24
  be the same if one of them was missing.
• 2:41:26
  So I kind of like the approach that they're just gonna be
• 2:41:29
  soloist, until they're all back together because, yeah, it would
• 2:41:32
  just be odd if one of them was missing.
• 2:41:35
  So I'm like even Jim and said in the video, he's like, yes, he
• 2:41:39
  is. He's out of so long as he's a
• 2:41:41
  member of a group, but he also wants to like explore, you know,
• 2:41:44
  his interest likes and dislikes as artist himself and girls him.
• 2:41:48
  Off. And I can probably that growth
• 2:41:50
  can be put into when they come back together.
• 2:41:52
  So it's like I just see it as a good thing, I mean, I know like
• 2:41:58
  obviously when this came out and then that when I re-watch this,
• 2:42:02
  I don't know if you saw but I think they changed it because I
• 2:42:04
  didn't see the word Hiatus in there, like, at the beginning,
• 2:42:07
  but I wasn't paying attention. So I don't know if it's still in
• 2:42:10
  there or not. I blame One Direction because
• 2:42:12
  all the media was like, oh my God, they're breaking up.
• 2:42:16
  This Hiatus is expanding no more.
• 2:42:18
  It's yes. What's the next K-Pop group?
• 2:42:20
  That's gonna replace BTS? Like, shot the fuck up, please.
• 2:42:26
  Just wash this last night. So it would I get to actually
• 2:42:30
  and I saw the word Hiatus, and this band is what is still
• 2:42:34
  there. One point, but not in the
• 2:42:36
  beginning and it was I don't remember who is saying it, but
• 2:42:38
  it was like, it's it's or not this Banning it's or a Hiatus or
• 2:42:42
  whatever you want to call it. It's just a think that.
• 2:42:44
  So yeah, so I think they don't they referred It is a break
• 2:42:49
  everywhere else and he mentions those specific words at one
• 2:42:52
  point, but I don't think he's saying that they're taking one.
• 2:42:54
  I think he's saying, that's not really what it is, you know.
• 2:42:57
  Yeah, we're taking a break as a group, which is not as their own
• 2:43:02
  personal schedules basically. Yeah.
• 2:43:04
  And I also saw that like, not them but like the company had to
• 2:43:07
  come back and like clear up stuff because apparently, I know
• 2:43:09
  nothing about the stock market and that's why I kind of wish
• 2:43:12
  the feast was still here. But apparently hide stock went
• 2:43:15
  down like 20 percent well cheese.
• 2:43:18
  Which of the lot. And apparently I found this
• 2:43:21
  blooming Berg article on the attached at the bottom, because
• 2:43:24
  I really feel like it's a good article talking about, like a
• 2:43:27
  brief summary of their stocks without being too biased of like
• 2:43:29
  what's actually happening with BTS.
• 2:43:31
  But I got from that article how it said it went down. 28% wiping
• 2:43:36
  out one point, seven billion dollars in market value, which
• 2:43:39
  is the lowest on record since they went public as a company.
• 2:43:42
  So, yeah. And that's another thing.
• 2:43:45
  Like, I am proud of them for building Big hit up and like
• 2:43:51
  making sure they didn't go under but it also makes me angry how
• 2:43:55
  much they really depend on them. And I know the Bots other
• 2:43:59
  companies with like other groups and they have txt and now I'm
• 2:44:03
  hyphen but it's like with that like damn they still really
• 2:44:07
  depend on BTS. A lot and that's not a good
• 2:44:10
  thing business-wise. No, and it's not it's not be
• 2:44:14
  dies. His responsibilities the whole
• 2:44:16
  God me up. It's really nice.
• 2:44:18
  Not I don't feel like ever was to be honest, my opinion.
• 2:44:24
  It was important so they can continue doing what they are
• 2:44:26
  doing. But at the end of the day, I
• 2:44:29
  think, I mean at the end of the day, I don't think it's
• 2:44:32
  necessarily something to be worried about either because I
• 2:44:34
  think that we're experiencing a drop because of the shock that
• 2:44:38
  was happening. But eventually when they start,
• 2:44:42
  I know June had mentioned something about like the mix
• 2:44:46
  tapes are going to be made into actual album.
• 2:44:49
  So I'm sure that will combat some of that, you know, which
• 2:44:53
  that's so cool. I would love to.
• 2:44:55
  I am helping dedicated to each member.
• 2:44:58
  Another thing that made me think of a listen it because Jim kind
• 2:45:01
  of, I don't know if anyone picked it up, but he was kind of
• 2:45:03
  saying like, jokingly where he was like he just got like some
• 2:45:07
  songs in and he predicts, he might be the last one to
• 2:45:11
  actually release the album. So I was like because you're
• 2:45:15
  working on is Because Of Enlistment probably both.
• 2:45:18
  Probably both. So, because I know some of the
• 2:45:21
  other members have been working on, especially liked liked a and
• 2:45:26
  j-hope. They've been working on
• 2:45:28
  individual stuff for a long time, but they just haven't
• 2:45:30
  released yet because they're really picky especially,
• 2:45:33
  especially taeyong and Jungkook because we've heard the stories
• 2:45:36
  of them making stuff and deleting stuff, I think
• 2:45:38
  Jungkook, at one point actually really did have a whole mix tape
• 2:45:41
  and he deleted everything. So so I think like I don't know,
• 2:45:45
  Jin dozen or so I've been doing that.
• 2:45:47
  So if Just if he's just starting knot and I'm like if he doesn't
• 2:45:51
  want to, we don't have to. Yeah he's just starting.
• 2:45:54
  Now it makes sense for him to be last.
• 2:45:57
  Come on with if he has to go away for a bit.
• 2:46:00
  So yeah, I get it. I get it.
• 2:46:03
  So yeah, that's basically the whole dinner, I had more points,
• 2:46:06
  but I feel like me and Macey, really summed up our like,
• 2:46:09
  opinions the best without me having to do an all the Bill
• 2:46:13
  Bolton points. So I'm glad, oh yeah, any
• 2:46:17
  thoughts before I get Into the projects that have been
• 2:46:21
  announced so far. I could go first.
• 2:46:24
  I mean, I feel like I share what I wanted to share is like, they
• 2:46:28
  keep saying it's basically just a new beginning.
• 2:46:32
  Again, Macy, all. Thank you for introducing me to
• 2:46:35
  BTS because like I knew about them on my own and 2017.
• 2:46:39
  I feel like I mentioned before when they first start breaking
• 2:46:43
  out with DNA, but like I just had no desire of really like
• 2:46:46
  looking up them myself. Glad I did and like not to see
• 2:46:51
  this in a bad way because this isn't the first time if people
• 2:46:55
  don't know that they express their tired, I mean tear was
• 2:46:58
  actually almost their disbandment album.
• 2:47:01
  If no one remembers that. So this is basically like,
• 2:47:05
  probably second hell. This might even be like the
• 2:47:07
  tenth time of like stuff. We didn't even see and we only
• 2:47:10
  know about that because when they want an award, that Jin did
• 2:47:12
  say that where they all start breaking down the end of 2018 or
• 2:47:16
  2019, I think it's 2018. Yeah.
• 2:47:18
  I was 2018 because it was before Persona came out, but still so
• 2:47:23
  like if they did at that time I wouldn't have discovered them
• 2:47:25
  because I really became a fan during idle.
• 2:47:29
  So that was really the first time.
• 2:47:30
  I feel like they really push themselves to keep going and
• 2:47:36
  it's like, I just feel like at this point, like we just keep
• 2:47:39
  saying they've already proved themselves and enough, it's fine
• 2:47:42
  for them to take a break. I honestly would have been fine,
• 2:47:46
  even if they're like, we're taking a break.
• 2:47:48
  And they're not doing anything because they deserve that too.
• 2:47:51
  You deserve some rest, they deserve sleep to start like
• 2:47:54
  eating properly and I have to worry about like their image or
• 2:47:57
  like the crazy diet culture and just like all those other mess
• 2:48:01
  of some members just want to chill and honestly not do
• 2:48:05
  anything. That's fine with me.
• 2:48:07
  If they want to continue doing things which I know they're
• 2:48:10
  going to whether it's like music or if they want to do stuff
• 2:48:13
  outside. Like if tan finally wants to
• 2:48:15
  start acting again, if Jen wants to start acting that is Fine
• 2:48:18
  with me too. I feel like I'm at this point
• 2:48:20
  where like I will be there and like I expressed earlier I don't
• 2:48:23
  regret like being their fan. So like it's been fun even
• 2:48:27
  though I haven't been with them since the beginning, I still
• 2:48:30
  feel like I grew up with them because like, I got in my early
• 2:48:32
  20s, I'm in my mid 20s now. So like I got to spend my early
• 2:48:37
  20s with them and like I just had fought a lot of my great
• 2:48:41
  memories especially with like you and like other friends.
• 2:48:44
  We met are just like full of so much joy and I'm glad BTS were a
• 2:48:48
  Is that and also thanks to BTS. Like I feel like it helped me
• 2:48:52
  break the ice more because I am and to verted, like, I never
• 2:48:55
  would have met in the fisa Brianna.
• 2:48:57
  I would have known the feast. I don't feel like we would have
• 2:48:58
  gotten this close because it was are like manager.
• 2:49:01
  We worked at the library who break the ice for us when
• 2:49:03
  they're like so did you know, Simone isn't to BTS and me and
• 2:49:06
  the feast look at each other like oh you like BTS and not to
• 2:49:09
  start at something. When she saw Brianna at the
• 2:49:12
  Korean Festival, we went to which I never would have went to
• 2:49:14
  if it wasn't for BTS and I met her and we started talking about
• 2:49:18
  she's Like, oh, you like BTS to. And that's the same with Sam at
• 2:49:21
  like we were learning the Korean language and just like other
• 2:49:25
  stuff. I never would have thought, like
• 2:49:27
  you heard us talk about like we watch on like in the middle of
• 2:49:30
  the night and stuff. I've done so much I feel like I
• 2:49:33
  never would have done on my own or for anyone else.
• 2:49:36
  So like it was tiring but it's just fun stuff.
• 2:49:39
  I can look back on. So obviously at the end of my
• 2:49:43
  rant I'm just like happy. I could share happy moments with
• 2:49:45
  them. Just want to thank them for That
• 2:49:49
  and then like I was going to say, I wish them happiness, but
• 2:49:53
  like it made me think back on our one year anniversary.
• 2:49:56
  I hope they're able to find contentment in their life
• 2:50:00
  because I feel like that's more powerful than happiness because
• 2:50:03
  some 10 min last longer. So that's all I really want to
• 2:50:06
  say. I think to add to that is like,
• 2:50:09
  I am happy with all of the memories.
• 2:50:12
  I've made thus far, even if I don't get to make any more.
• 2:50:16
  But I'm like, obviously, I I think we're hopeful and they're
• 2:50:19
  saying that they're going to continue so but I am already
• 2:50:24
  more than more than grateful for what I've already received that.
• 2:50:28
  Like I think it's just nice to take a sit back and let them
• 2:50:32
  also, you know, this reminisce and row and take a breather.
• 2:50:39
  So I'm like, like we say, we listen to other group but I know
• 2:50:42
  they're not going to hit like BTS does for us, but still So, I
• 2:50:48
  just excited for them. I'm happy for them.
• 2:50:50
  To be honest. Like I'm more happy honestly
• 2:50:54
  than anything else. Yeah.
• 2:50:56
  Yeah. I don't I don't feel any of
• 2:50:58
  those feelings of like, resentment, or sadness or
• 2:51:01
  anything like that. I think it's overall, 100% a
• 2:51:04
  positive thing. So, I just hope that the rest of
• 2:51:07
  their fandom can see that. Yeah.
• 2:51:10
  For people, we don't know the lives like halfway around the
• 2:51:12
  world. Yeah.
• 2:51:14
  But that's the joy and beauty of it.
• 2:51:16
  Just never thought it would happen.
• 2:51:17
  Such a unique and special connection.
• 2:51:20
  Yeah.
