Speaker 1: I have some tea. Q was one of the producers, right?
Speaker 1: She was worried that Isaac and I would not get along.
Speaker 1: When you pushed us, right? I felt a genuine anger
Speaker 1: in that episode.
Speaker 2: OK, honestly, if you ask me one moment that I
Speaker 2: regret in, right, actually that might be one of it.
Speaker 1: I think it's very tough for
Speaker 1: me lah.
Speaker 2: So, is your voice cracking up a little bit, you're right.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone and welcome to the Hot Pot where we
Speaker 1: hop into different transitions in life. My name is Fauzi.
Speaker 2: I'm Ira. I'm Isaac. I'm Siri, and together we are.

Speaker 2: upper middle class, right? They all give birth at Thompson.
Speaker 2: There's a, there's certain like tears of like it's true.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie,
Speaker 2: yeah, and then like if you are if you are
Speaker 2: bungalow one right, you Mount E or Mount Alban, yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 1: Do you have any siblings and how many do you
Speaker 1: guys have? I actually have 3 older brothers and 1
Speaker 1: younger brother.
Speaker 2: Oh, so you're the middle child.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm the 4th out of 5.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I always thought like you, you
Speaker 2: were the oldest, yeah.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the oldest sibling. OK, quick question, you ever got
Speaker 2: like act as like Backstreet Boys at home?
Speaker 1: Uh, no, no, no, it's not that. My older brother,
Speaker 1: the one above me, we have a 5-year age gap.
Speaker 1: So I was closer to my younger brother, but as time,
Speaker 1: time goes, and now we're all adults, they have their
Speaker 1: own families. I'm quite close with all of them actually.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a big age gap.
Speaker 2: Brother as well, he's 7 years younger than me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I, I have an older brother who's 2 years
Speaker 1: older than me. Again,
Speaker 2: you look like you got the older sibling vibe. No,
Speaker 2: but it's true. It's true. He's single. How old is he?
Speaker 2: He's 2 years older than me, so he's 35.
Speaker 2: It's OK. I'm the youngest child. I have a sister
Speaker 2: and I have a brother. I have a very big
Speaker 2: age gap with my siblings so one is 71 is
Speaker 2: 90 yeah, they're 7 years old and 9 years old.
Speaker 1: What is your MBTI?
Speaker 2: Mine
Speaker 2: changed, you know, since the first. I feel like
Speaker 1: we change according to the seasons in our life, I feel, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you would answer the questions very differently according to
Speaker 1: how you see your life at that point in
Speaker 1: time.
Speaker 2: That's why actually I don't really believe in.
Speaker 2: MBTI. I feel like it's a good guide to where
Speaker 2: you are at in life right now, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: define you as a person. So like a lot of people, they,
Speaker 2: you know, carry their MBTI or whatever as their personality
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, but I just feel like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it changes over time.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's very common in Korea for people
Speaker 1: to ask for their MBTI.
Speaker 2: Korea has this thing where like previously it was like
Speaker 2: what's your blood type and then they narrow you down
Speaker 2: based on that and then.
Speaker 2: Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they ask
Speaker 1: that during like job interviews or something?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do actually, but so what is
Speaker 1: it? Mine is ENFP at the point of at this
Speaker 1: point in time, I used to be an ENFJ, but
Speaker 1: now I'm ENFP. Yeah, I have been an ENFP from
Speaker 1: God knows when
Speaker 1: like I never
Speaker 2: changed. I'm an E.
Speaker 2: And TJ Oh, all of us are. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly no, but one thing I realized is
Speaker 2: that my MBTI differs when I'm at work and outside,
Speaker 2: like as in I feel like I'm two different person.
Speaker 2: At work I, I like to take the lead, but
Speaker 2: then when I'm with my friends, I tend to like,
Speaker 2: you know, take a step back and then like let.
Speaker 2: You guys like I want to witness this.
Speaker 1: No, I, I, I, I kind of relate with you
Speaker 1: because in a sense right sometimes, right, when in life
Speaker 1: or at work where it's a lot of your life,
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to step up and be
Speaker 1: the leader, right? Sometimes in your other parts of your life, right,
Speaker 1: you just feel like I just want to let go,
Speaker 1: you
Speaker 1: know,
Speaker 2: yeah, yeah, that's why I'm like literally like my 9
Speaker 2: to 5 is like me just like, you know.
Speaker 2: Hustling hustling and everything. So when I meet my friends,
Speaker 2: I just want to, you know, take a chill pill.
Speaker 1: Which primary
Speaker 1: school were you from? I was from St. Stephen's Primary.
Speaker 1: Stephens is at Siglap. OK, wow, where the rich people live.
Speaker 1: I didn't live in, I live in Reservoir.
Speaker 2: Close enough, enough. Um, I was from Tampines North Primary School.
Speaker 2: Shut up. Tampines North Tampines different.
Speaker 1: Does it still exist today?
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 1: OK. Actually that's a very good question. My school still exists.
Speaker 1: My
Speaker 2: school still exists. Uh,
Speaker 1: my school is Presbyterian Primary School Bishan's in
Speaker 1: Bishan,
Speaker 2: mathematics paper, man. Oh, is it

Speaker 1: Why is that? Is
Speaker 1: it still at Chak? Yes. Does it still exist? Yes,
Speaker 2: OK, yeah, perfect. So the next question is which secondary
Speaker 2: school were you guys from? I was from Danian Secondary
Speaker 2: School in at Bukitbato.

Speaker 2: person, Romeo Tan.
Speaker 1: You know what, I, I'm going on to Wikipedia right
Speaker 1: now and changing it for you. I add it for you.
Speaker 1: Next one, which CCA did you guys have in secondary school?
Speaker 2: Can we guess for this one? I guess. I feel
Speaker 2: like it's some like leadership
Speaker 1: CCA

Speaker 1: whatever
Speaker 2: or
Speaker 1: something.
Speaker 2: NCCA uniform group NPCC.
Speaker 1: You're very close.
Speaker 1: NCC but

Speaker 1: right. I was in football and NPCC.
Speaker 1: Not run club though I don't have my school don't
Speaker 1: have like the cross country that kind. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like you have thrived in. My school no budget,
Speaker 1: so don't have only the school got budget then can
Speaker 1: go cross country
Speaker 2: you didn't tell me your CCA was like look at me.
Speaker 2: We have a new line
Speaker 1: on Chinese
Speaker 1: dance. Oh
Speaker 2: yes, one of them is Chinese dance and then um
Speaker 2: that was my primary school, CCA.
Speaker 2: Then in secondary school I was in netball. Oh yeah, OK,
Speaker 2: you look like a netballer, yeah. What, what does it
Speaker 2: mean by I look like a netballer? It's like because
Speaker 2: I can see you like with your FBT and last
Speaker 2: time I ponytailed them high one it's like all the
Speaker 2: way here. I'm not even kidding like at one point
Speaker 2: it was like my personality, you know, like my high ponytail.
Speaker 2: I just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, then you know recess
Speaker 2: like everyone is just trying to make it higher and higher.
Speaker 1: You bring it to the front end like unicorn.
Speaker 1: Next question, how much do you get for your PSLE?
Speaker 2: We answered this question before, right, one of
Speaker 1: our on the live stream,
Speaker 2: right,
Speaker 1: but for everybody else, uh, my PSLE score was 236.
Speaker 2: Shout outs. My PSLE score was 250. Shout outs. I'm
Speaker 1: like my primary school like top three.
Speaker 1: 50 they'll give you a ha, I got
Speaker 1: 216.
Speaker 2: 207. OK, come on guys, we're all here but don't
Speaker 2: let the point system define you.
Speaker 1: I think
Speaker 1: back then I was just very happy because like my
Speaker 1: school was affiliated, right? I think you knew you only
Speaker 1: score like 18 something, and I was just happy to
Speaker 1: be with my friends. Nice. Actually if I got my score,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: been able to get to SGI if I wasn't affiliated. Yeah.
Speaker 2: SGI was a hard school to get into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. What diploma or degree do you have?
Speaker 2: Oh damn. Basic stuff I think for me. Speaking of
Speaker 2: mass,
Speaker 1: I don't know why I think like our fit is
Speaker 1: like all intertwined with like Mascom because during my secondary
Speaker 1: school days, right, in secondary 3, you know, like the
Speaker 1: school brings you to the open houses and everything. The
Speaker 1: only one that I was.
Speaker 1: Interested in from the get-go right was FMS NPEscor. I
Speaker 1: took the brochure. I stuck it on my wall, and
Speaker 1: during our time it was like 10 points to get in.
Speaker 1: So set for the brass there and then that's the
Speaker 1: only thing I went to a space there. I bust
Speaker 1: my ass off for like O levels, and I think
Speaker 1: I was shy of like.
Speaker 1: No, actually I got -2. I got 10, but I
Speaker 1: didn't get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Neons if I'm not wrong, it's like 10 points.
Speaker 2: 10 points in visual communications. Oh, you didn't take
Speaker 1: SPS. Oh yeah, but shout out to SP visuals, man,
Speaker 1: best time of my life.
Speaker 2: I know. I think Fauzi has a very interesting degree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I, I didn't go to poly. I
Speaker 1: went to JC. After JC, I went into, uh, university.
Speaker 1: I went to NUS, uh, I got a Bachelor of
Speaker 1: Arts in theater studies.
Speaker 2: Love that.
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, right? He, he co-created Glee. What?
Speaker 1: Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly I did not. OK, next question. Do
Speaker 1: your results matter now as you work?
Speaker 2: Nope, no. 100% 100% no. It's not about the results,
Speaker 2: I think. I think it's about the attitude that brought
Speaker 2: you your results, right? That will translate 100% in the
Speaker 2: rest of your life. 100%. So I think we all
Speaker 2: always say like, hey, um, don't let the points define.
Speaker 2: you, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't try, right? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that, that mindset is what what brings you through
Speaker 2: like successes I
Speaker 1: guess. Yeah. I would say like when it comes to
Speaker 1: your education, right, I think the important thing doesn't necessarily
Speaker 1: have to be the academics. It really is about the,
Speaker 1: the life skills you learn throughout the time you are
Speaker 1: in school. Uh, for me like
Speaker 1: I graduated with a degree in theater studies. I'm not
Speaker 1: using anything of it at this point in time, but
Speaker 1: because of like things like the rigor of the research
Speaker 1: that I did, uh, and of course like also interacting
Speaker 1: with different people, I think also the, the more conventional
Speaker 1: ideas that, I mean, let's say if you do very
Speaker 1: conventional like jobs in terms of like STEM, anything, right?
Speaker 1: I feel like you.
Speaker 1: You have to get to meet a certain grade, a
Speaker 1: certain result to, you know, it's like a passport like
Speaker 1: to the industry, right? So I think in that sense,
Speaker 1: you know, compared to let's say if you do arts
Speaker 1: maybe very portfolio-based, very people based, I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's. I didn't, I don't think any
Speaker 1: one of us, the rest of the hot pots or so,
Speaker 1: I don't think they all come from stem background, right? Nobody,
Speaker 1: all of us.
Speaker 1: Come from very background. That's why we're here la. Uh,
Speaker 1: next question, if you all met each other in secondary school,
Speaker 1: would you all be friends? Why or why not? No,
Speaker 2: I don't I didn't know.
Speaker 2: Honestly, like the first time we all met, right, like after,
Speaker 2: after the lunch, I was thinking to myself, wow, we
Speaker 2: are so different. Like, as in every one of us,
Speaker 2: we are like so different people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah, I have some tea actually, uh.
Speaker 1: Q was one of the producers, right? She was worried
Speaker 1: that Isaac and I would not get along. Because we're
Speaker 1: very
Speaker 1: different.
Speaker 2: But I feel like Isaac is so accommodating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I and I think that was the
Speaker 1: thing that we discovered along the way. I think initially
Speaker 1: maybe because like Isaac's interest and my interests are quite
Speaker 1: different and I think he was like, oh, not sure
Speaker 1: whether they would be OK, yeah, but actually
Speaker 2: OK
Speaker 1: now
Speaker 1: he's my pickle
Speaker 2: boss.
Speaker 2: No, as in like I just didn't know that we
Speaker 2: will become as close as we are. Yeah, yeah. We
Speaker 2: definitely would not have even like sat like in the
Speaker 2: same area.
Speaker 1: God, we would all have had, you know, different CCA,
Speaker 2: yeah, no, I think, yeah, we will all be in
Speaker 2: different cliques at most, right, Fauzi and I will be
Speaker 2: acquainted like at Malay class that kind.
Speaker 2: Isaac in Chinese class because Isaac will be
Speaker 1: at the top class, no lah, because Chinese got so
Speaker 1: many people, so many Chinese people usually like when you
Speaker 1: go to school, right, the Malay class has only got
Speaker 1: one class. Then it's like no matter from what class
Speaker 1: you are, you're all siphon into that one Malay class,
Speaker 1: so you that you will know each other.
Speaker 2: Do you guys think that um if we were all
Speaker 2: in school.
Speaker 2: Right now, you will be very annoyed at me in class. Yes, mhm. No, I, I, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 2: I got a, I got a feeling that's why I
Speaker 2: asked because like I'm the kind in class where I
Speaker 2: don't listen and I I'm rowdy and then like I just, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't
Speaker 1: you? I would very
Speaker 2: disruptive
Speaker 1: to the class.
Speaker 2: I'm a bit disruptive.
Speaker 1: I
Speaker 1: would have hated
Speaker 2: you. Yeah, exactly because in school I was really like.
Speaker 2: I get my stuff done and then I'm done that
Speaker 2: kind so I don't,
Speaker 1: yeah, no, but I
Speaker 1: think during secondary school days, I'm not sure about you guys,
Speaker 1: but I feel like at least for me or like
Speaker 1: my peers, we are all very, how what do you
Speaker 1: call it, we are not very empathetic to one another.
Speaker 1: So if something is unfamiliar to us, someone's character is like, oh,
Speaker 1: like that, I don't want to associate myself that. I
Speaker 1: only associate with people who I can fight with, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So that's why clicks are formed, but now that we're older,
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, we are more.
Speaker 1: Accommodating to each other that's so we can plan.
Speaker 2: So
Speaker 1: grow up
Speaker 2: kids. Alright,
Speaker 1: next question. Would you ever start your own YouTube channel, guys?
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm a bit too old to do
Speaker 1: it now. Wait, why? I just feel like because there
Speaker 1: are a lot of other things that I would need
Speaker 1: to focus on. Having your own YouTube channel is a
Speaker 1: lot of work. The filming, the editing, and everything. I
Speaker 1: barely have time to do my own things to want
Speaker 1: to start.
Speaker 1: YouTube channel on the site of everything that I already do,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's almost impossible, yeah, and I prioritize
Speaker 1: a bit more like, yeah, and having fun, just enjoying
Speaker 1: the new things that I'm enjoying in life, like the pickleball.
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of vloggers. They are so willing
Speaker 1: to film themselves in public. I always like have to
Speaker 1: like mentally prepare myself to film myself in public.
Speaker 1: I feel so scared. That's why when I'm doing like core,
Speaker 1: for example, there's, there's you guys. I don't feel alone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm alone, I think I will get social anxiety.
Speaker 2: It's also different because it's like when you're vlogging, right,
Speaker 2: you are holding up the camera on your own. That's
Speaker 2: a lot more intimidating than someone else filming you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There was one time I was on a YouTube video
Speaker 2: without you guys. That was my first time appearing like
Speaker 2: without y'all, and then I felt so.
Speaker 2: Lonely, like I felt like, oh, my support system is
Speaker 2: not here because every time like, you know, we are
Speaker 2: on shoots and everything, they will be there like just
Speaker 2: to like hype me up and everything, but like when
Speaker 2: I was alone, I'm like, oh shit. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 2: that day when the playbook when I was dating. I
Speaker 2: I just like, what's she doing today? I know, you know,
Speaker 2: like I had like all the urges to like text
Speaker 2: you like because like I was behind with Joey and Nick, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I miss you. I miss you too. I feel
Speaker 2: like the reason why I would want to start a
Speaker 2: YouTube channel is because I feel like I have other
Speaker 2: sites that I haven't shown to like the audience yet
Speaker 2: and then like a lot of times like when you
Speaker 2: guys watch Code Red or like you know Hotpot, you
Speaker 2: got to watch, right? It's only that one side of like, OK, yeah,
Speaker 2: so what is the other side? OK,
Speaker 1: I
Speaker 2: don't like the other side,
Speaker 1: OK.
Speaker 1: you're gonna creates content.
Speaker 1: So you're teaching physics.
Speaker 2: I will teach you guys how to invest, trust me guys.
Speaker 2: Give me 30 days. I will make your portfolio 11,010.
Speaker 2: Favorite part of being in Code rate? Oh, I feel
Speaker 2: like it's you guys. No, I'm not even kidding. Like,
Speaker 2: no matter what you guys put us through, like even
Speaker 2: Haunted houses, whatever, right, as long as it's with you guys, yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel safe. Like I feel like I can conquer
Speaker 2: anything with you.
Speaker 1: Wow,
Speaker 2: yeah, no, like seriously, and I really, really like enjoy
Speaker 2: you guys' company a lot. I was so shy
Speaker 1: to answer. Yeah, what she answer was so simple. I
Speaker 1: like to do different weird things like new experiences, I feel,
Speaker 1: things that I would, I would have not been typically.
Speaker 1: Able to do uh in my regular life, yeah,
Speaker 2: you are being paid to have fun, I think.
Speaker 1: Wow,
Speaker 2: yeah, it's like who would have thought, right? No, I
Speaker 2: just sound shallow.
Speaker 1: I feel like like obviously being part of like the
Speaker 1: cast and then working with the crew like forming a
Speaker 1: bond and like a relationship with everyone, seeing everyone in
Speaker 1: the element, I think.
Speaker 1: Wow. Oh,
Speaker 2: sorry.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I honestly, I think that gets me very
Speaker 1: pumped though. Everyone having fun in the crew even off-camp 100%,
Speaker 2: you know, like my, because like before COVID started, I
Speaker 2: was just doing my full-time job, like my 9 to 5, right?
Speaker 2: And then when I started, I realized like, wow, this
Speaker 2: is such like this is an outlet for me to
Speaker 2: be myself because like at work I, I can't possibly
Speaker 2: show this side of me, right? Like.
Speaker 2: I show on quote rate, but like you know, I
Speaker 2: can actually be myself. So yeah, I'm a what? OK, anyways,
Speaker 2: complete sentence no no is actually very smart. I'll keep
Speaker 2: repeating this until people believe it. What is your dream
Speaker 2: job?
Speaker 1: I remember like as a kid I wanted to be
Speaker 1: a dentist. Yeah. Why? Because they earn a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So I.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just like to help people
Speaker 1: with their teeth. Wow,
Speaker 2: did you try to work towards?
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I, I was, I was very bad
Speaker 1: in science and math, so, obviously my, my, my trajectory
Speaker 1: was in the arts field.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to be a newscaster. Oh, I can
Speaker 2: see that as one on the news,
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 1: Can I.
Speaker 2: I remember this.
Speaker 2: I remember this when I read your name like in
Speaker 2: the crimewatch or something next time OK 33 year old,
Speaker 1: I said I'm a
Speaker 1: Speaking of skirts of Crimewatch, right, last time I got cut.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you were
Speaker 1: on an episode. No, I wasn't. OK, that time I
Speaker 1: was having the polygrad show at Vivo City and then
Speaker 1: after like our friends, hey, we go boogies eat dinner la, OK.
Speaker 1: Bear in mind at the point of time I had redhead.
Speaker 1: Oh my, it was super fiery, and then I had
Speaker 1: like spiky red hair. I was wearing a green flannel
Speaker 1: green red dude, and then this dude came out. Oh, sorry, hi,
Speaker 1: are you interested in being on like uh like a show?
Speaker 1: They're like, uh, how was this for? This or crime watch,
Speaker 1: right? You like a gangster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, OK, that's it. Oh my God, good, good times.
Speaker 2: Also that was crazy how he could have just said
Speaker 2: he was at boogies when he got cast, but then
Speaker 2: he told us he got great show and all that.
Speaker 2: After that, his friend said boogies to eat. Yeah, honestly, I,
Speaker 2: you say so much, right? Let me tell you, when
Speaker 2: I say, uh, tells us a story, right, she will
Speaker 2: add in all the unnecessary details also. There was one
Speaker 2: time she was telling.
Speaker 2: something and then I don't know why, right? I suddenly
Speaker 2: know the whole life of like this other person.
Speaker 1: I was like, what is your, what is your dream job?
Speaker 1: My dream job as a kid, I think when I
Speaker 1: was younger I wanted to be a footballer. OK, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember during my time, like the first time sports
Speaker 1: school had an open call straight times 22 pitch spread, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you could, um, go do, do the trials.
Speaker 1: Then the thing the football trial had like 4 levels.
Speaker 1: Now at the 3rd level I kind of kick out.
Speaker 1: Then my dreams are shattered la. But then after when
Speaker 1: I grew older, I feel like I, I get energy
Speaker 1: when I'm around people, and talk to people and then just, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think whenever I'm around people I just feel like
Speaker 1: so I can see what was
Speaker 1: your dream?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've told you guys this before,
Speaker 2: but I wanted to become a trader.
Speaker 2: What trader? Pokemon card trader, like a like an investment trader.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and my sole purpose because I was like
Speaker 2: naive as a kid, right, was because, um, I know
Speaker 2: that they earn a lot of money and you can
Speaker 2: just like stay at home and like look at look
Speaker 2: at computer and then you can like, but I know
Speaker 2: like along the way like you actually like a lot
Speaker 2: of work is put into it lah. But also um
Speaker 2: as I was growing up, I realized that I get
Speaker 2: energy from people and I cannot be just like sitting down,
Speaker 2: looking at my computer, so but if you are working.
Speaker 2: um, like as a trader in like a bank or
Speaker 2: like an investment firm or anything, right, you'll be meeting
Speaker 2: like 1000 people a day. You're always on the trading floor, right?
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, yeah, that was that was that was
Speaker 2: the vision they have that in
Speaker 1: Singapore, they buy a trading floor in Singapore like that. No,
Speaker 2: I think so. I think so some of the, I
Speaker 2: mean like some of the banks like they trade like
Speaker 2: for other countries in other markets, right, but also I
Speaker 2: realized like the working hours are like.
Speaker 2: Crazy. Yeah, my, when my father was a trader last time,
Speaker 2: he did um American market, so his shifts were all like, yeah, our,
Speaker 2: our graveyard shifts essentially
Speaker 1: the market
Speaker 1: never sleeps, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, 100%, yeah, and you have to just monitor
Speaker 2: it like so closely.
Speaker 1: You
Speaker 1: know what I've always imagined.
Speaker 1: As an SQ flight attendant actually. I
Speaker 1: have,
Speaker 2: I don't like to serve people. I'm so sorry. As
Speaker 2: in like, I mean I know like I've been on
Speaker 2: like two waitressing episodes, right, but like, I mean, I
Speaker 2: mean I can do it for a shoot, but in
Speaker 2: real life I oh wait, you can do it, man.
Speaker 2: I realized like I'm, I'm very straightforward at work, so
Speaker 2: like I cannot just possibly like, you know, filter my
Speaker 2: words just to like please you. Like I would just
Speaker 2: say you go home, that kind of thing, like don't
Speaker 2: eat here, you know, you go home you go home
Speaker 2: you tell my manager I'm the manager. I, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? You see, my uniform is purpose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. What is your favorite book? I don't read books.
Speaker 2: Oh my God. Doctor in the House, written by Mahathir
Speaker 2: Mohammad.
Speaker 2: What? What? What is what Doctor in the House by
Speaker 2: Maha Muhammad.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 2: Mine is Jeromei.
Speaker 1: I love that. Mine is
Speaker 1: any, any, any Roald Dahl book. OK, I love, but
Speaker 1: mine is a battle royale. It's like a Japanese novel.
Speaker 1: It's the original Hunger Games, by the way. What is
Speaker 1: your favorite city?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Oh, Isaac I love it. What is
Speaker 1: your favorite city? Oh,
Speaker 2: so interesting. I like Nohalia.
Speaker 2: Kuala Lumpur.
Speaker 1: Oh,
Speaker 2: nice. I like, I like Dubai. It's very futuristic and
Speaker 2: it makes me feel very, um, like hopeful of the future.
Speaker 2: Oh
Speaker 1: yeah, I'll say mine is Bangkok,
Speaker 2: OK, because you like to.
Speaker 1: No, because I like Thai food. I like, I, I
Speaker 1: love Thai culture. My favorite city is, uh, Fukua, Japan. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 1: next question. How would you describe the person on your left?
Speaker 2: on my left
Speaker 1: is me la. How would I describe? Um, I'm one
Speaker 1: word with. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: OK, one word. I will do one word OK. Isaac
Speaker 2: versatile
Speaker 1: word for word for Syria, um.
Speaker 1: Unpredictable.
Speaker 2: OK, stable,
Speaker 1: that's that's what I was thinking
Speaker 2: of,
Speaker 1: yeah, yeah. Would you ever live abroad? Oh, my short
Speaker 1: answer is yes, but I will not want to permanently relocate.
Speaker 1: I'll always come back to Singapore. My answer
Speaker 2: is yes. Um, I don't mind moving to another country actually.
Speaker 2: I think about it all the time. Also, fun fact,
Speaker 2: Isaac and I have lived abroad in the same city
Speaker 2: within like the same like area. Yeah, like Australia, Brisbane,
Speaker 2: and within the same neighborhood we were only like 20
Speaker 2: minutes away or so don't stay far from each other anyway.
Speaker 2: What is going on I think it meant to be
Speaker 2: string theory, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: To be neighbors, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then Neighbors is also the long running soap opera
Speaker 1: in Australia. I know you're
Speaker 2: absolutely
Speaker 1: right.
Speaker 2: Liam was on it was on. OK, Isaac, you live abroad?
Speaker 1: I would, I think the same. I feel like, like
Speaker 1: I love Japan a lot, but I think permanently relocating
Speaker 1: that probably not I mean Singapore. Singapore is the best
Speaker 1: city in the
Speaker 1: world.
Speaker 2: Shout out, out. I would live abroad, but I have
Speaker 2: to bring my parents. I don't think I can live
Speaker 2: without my parents like not being near me.
Speaker 2: You know, my dream is to live like buy a
Speaker 2: super big house and then like put my parents like
Speaker 2: together with me and see like we live together, we
Speaker 2: are like in different parts of the house. But yeah,
Speaker 2: like um we.
Speaker 2: We all live in one big house together, but we
Speaker 2: all have like our different parts of like our home, yeah,
Speaker 2: but essentially I still want to like live with them
Speaker 2: as long as I can.
Speaker 1: I love that. I think honestly.
Speaker 2: Happy Parents' Day guys.

Speaker 2: his new releases have been pretty interesting,
Speaker 1: interesting. Yeah, don't know who I've been listening

Speaker 2: Oh, wait, wait, I have, um, one artist that I've
Speaker 2: been obsessed with recently, but I wouldn't say I listen
Speaker 2: to her songs like a lot, Tate McRae. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think I just like her vibe and everything. Did you
Speaker 2: see her when she was here? No, I didn't, but
Speaker 2: Fauzi did. I love. I was like, OK, wait. Speaking of, um,
Speaker 2: favorite artists at the moment, right, what's the last song

Speaker 2: I'm still waiting. OK, do you live by any particular mantra?
Speaker 2: What's your life model? My mantra is don't
Speaker 2: regret anything
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: I love that. My mantra is life is not that difficult.
Speaker 2: Take it easy.
Speaker 1: Mine is like I always tell the like the young
Speaker 1: people that come to our store, it's, um, live and
Speaker 1: die by your own soul la like whatever decisions that
Speaker 1: you make, right, just own it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so even if you succeed, you fail, it's all
Speaker 1: on you, lah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't
Speaker 2: blame other people. I think mine is like hung up
Speaker 2: on my wall. Fauzi and Isaac, you've been to my room, um, it's, uh,
Speaker 2: you are your own limit. Like I just feel like
Speaker 2: this world, there's so, so, so many possibilities out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't limit yourself to what society thinks of you.
Speaker 1: Big pet peeve.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, biggest pet pee slash it. How about that? Oh, OK, context-wise,
Speaker 1: we have had this discussion many times during the breaks
Speaker 1: we've had on Code rate. We've had this, oh my God,
Speaker 1: we always talk about this. My number one biggest ick
Speaker 1: of the moment is other than Nick's uh.
Speaker 1: Uh, mittens. Other than that, uh, the other thing is
Speaker 1: when girls in the MRT when they shower or they
Speaker 1: wash their hair, right, they never dry and then they
Speaker 1: just let their hair hang and then it wets their shirt.
Speaker 2: Oh my God,
Speaker 2: no.
Speaker 1: You know, specifically that is their hair never dry, right? No,
Speaker 2: because it feels like you can smell them from afar.
Speaker 1: No, I don't mind if it's a nice shampoo, but
Speaker 1: then I see their,
Speaker 2: their shirts,
Speaker 1: the wet stain on their shirt plus sometimes if you're
Speaker 1: wearing a shirt so thin, you can pretty much just
Speaker 1: see your bra, you know what I mean, because it's
Speaker 1: so wet, yeah, so that's my, my ache.
Speaker 2: Damn,
Speaker 1: yeah, very specific.
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone knows my biggest thing is umbrellas, right,
Speaker 2: but also like the a recent thing I discovered is
Speaker 2: I hate it when people text me, guess what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't like I said like I question mark,
Speaker 2: I will reply that question mark and then they will
Speaker 2: say yes. What do you mean? No
Speaker 1: context like
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hate it, just leave them on red. Mine is
Speaker 1: um like when someone cannot like read like the room,
Speaker 1: like something you really like you know it's going on
Speaker 1: then like don't like you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: 100% don't aggravate the situation. Mine is people walking down
Speaker 2: the slopes.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Right, we had this discussion before.
Speaker 2: I was like when their ass goes a certain way like, no, no, no, different, different,
Speaker 2: like when you are walking, and their hands are like
Speaker 2: walking
Speaker 2: up
Speaker 1: or walking down, down. OK,
Speaker 2: what if they walk down?
Speaker 1: Is this a bigger egg if they walk down the
Speaker 1: slope but they walk backwards.
Speaker 2: Why would anyone do that? Because they know that it's
Speaker 2: an egg for you, then he doesn't want
Speaker 2: you to,
Speaker 1: because when you.
Speaker 1: Down, right, you're running down, right, it's, you run, but
Speaker 1: when you walk backwards, right, you a bit slower, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Oh
Speaker 2: yeah, yeah. I would like purposely look away if I'm
Speaker 2: going down a slope with other people, I would like
Speaker 2: look away. I like, OK. Anything you regretted seeing on
Speaker 2: code rate. I know what you would have regretted saying, um,
Speaker 2: Big Apple is turkey, national animal of China is flamingo.
Speaker 2: You know, after I said that, right, I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm associated with flamingos, like as in.
Speaker 1: There you are. No,
Speaker 2: wait, no, no, no, no, as in, let me rephrase,
Speaker 2: like when I go to cafes, right, I would order
Speaker 2: like a flamingo drink. Like I don't know why. I'm
Speaker 2: just very like I'm drawn drawn to flamingo.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 2: Am I a flamingo my past life?
Speaker 1: It's your spirit animal.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding? Recently, right, there was this, um, hair
Speaker 2: salon that reached out to me, you know what's the
Speaker 2: Flamingo Flamingo studios. I'm not even kidding. Shout outs, by
Speaker 2: the way. Shout out Flamingo Studios
Speaker 1: working overtime is 40,
Speaker 2: but I, I'm pretty sure they don't know like about
Speaker 2: like this context, but I just feel like.
Speaker 2: Domingos are like wow everywhere around me, but actually I'm
Speaker 2: very thankful that you said that, you know, because that
Speaker 2: was our first episode, right, and it blew up. Maybe
Speaker 2: we would not have gotten like the no, but really
Speaker 2: what we wouldn't have gotten the traction. No, everyone.
Speaker 2: Only you say flamingo though.us a woman. OK, wait, what
Speaker 2: anything you guys regretted saying?
Speaker 1: Actually, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: No, no. Oh, so just as said, no regret. Sorry,
Speaker 2: you should regret saying no regrets. Just take it back.
Speaker 2: What is
Speaker 1: one thing
Speaker 1: you feel like you've been obsessed with recently? OK,
Speaker 2: like I, I don't know this.
Speaker 2: come off a bit weird, but recently I've been into
Speaker 2: digging my ears.
Speaker 1: OK. I, I love
Speaker 2: this. No, and I feel like, OK, but you don't
Speaker 2: let us dig your ear, you know I never ever
Speaker 2: let us dig. No, I just want to say, OK,
Speaker 2: like before I met Aida, before I met Aida, I
Speaker 2: have this habit of like digging my ears pretty frequently
Speaker 2: like every day. But then right after I met Aida,
Speaker 2: I just feel like
Speaker 2: I met someone that finally understands me and like, you know,
Speaker 2: enable my my this, yeah, digging habits whenever I'm stressed, right?
Speaker 2: I go and dig my yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: OK, you must also know that Ida has one of those, uh,
Speaker 1: year diggers with a camera that you can see everything
Speaker 1: I need.
Speaker 2: Like, uh, the metal, metal, yeah, the ladle, and then
Speaker 2: I would just, I, but don't do it too like,
Speaker 2: you know, intensely, you know, just like, you know, scrape
Speaker 2: it off.
Speaker 1: You're crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm a bit embarrassed now.
Speaker 1: My current obsession is pickleball. I play it almost every
Speaker 1: week now and I'm trying to convert more and more
Speaker 1: people to join me.
Speaker 1: Uh, the next mission would be the hot podcast, yeah,
Speaker 1: they will be the next people
Speaker 2: kind of successful down for that, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took, it took Isaac and like.
Speaker 1: A 10 to 15
Speaker 2: minute session. No, Aida was supposed to join us, but
Speaker 2: she fell sick. So yeah, but I, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: you have loved it. But I guess I was telling
Speaker 2: Fauzi the other day, sign us up for competitions. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I actually want to join. And guess what,
Speaker 1: you know what? There is an upcoming tournament.
Speaker 2: Should we train for it? Wait, I'm I'm dead. I
Speaker 2: can I join?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? OK, we
Speaker 2: can't.
Speaker 2: My corporate job and become a full-time pickleballer.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 2: I got so many obsessions, yeah, so like downstairs my
Speaker 2: house now got two new stray cats. Oh, I love that.
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with them now. Do you know names? No,
Speaker 2: but like they have this thing where like when you
Speaker 2: rub the, the back of like towards the tail, their
Speaker 2: tail like vibrates like.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting to watch because my cat doesn't react
Speaker 2: that way. Oh, do better. Yeah, like, whoa, I just
Speaker 2: sit down there like watching, so that's why I'm so
Speaker 2: you like things that like vibrate.
Speaker 1: That's also a good.
Speaker 2: That's why maybe you like that you've been obsessed with that.
Speaker 2: Everything reminds me of him, you know.
Speaker 1: Is there anything you've been obsessed with recently? I set
Speaker 1: myself up, um, doing this challenge that every day all
Speaker 1: the way to the end of
Speaker 1: the year.
Speaker 2: Guys, did you see that he was running in the
Speaker 2: hotel room? Yeah, he, he, he posted, he said it's
Speaker 2: like the guy doing COVID, right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my obsession, but then I feel like.
Speaker 1: Now I kind of regret it. I feel like I
Speaker 1: don't have time to like squeeze in that, you know,
Speaker 1: it
Speaker 2: doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be long distances
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 1: It doesn't, but I set myself up like 5 km
Speaker 1: by minimum every day. What advice would you give yourself
Speaker 1: a year
Speaker 2: ago? I know exactly what it would be and Fauzi
Speaker 2: is gonna say I told you so. What? Don't take
Speaker 2: that job.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: There was a, yeah, there was a, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: elaborate that much, but there was a job that like
Speaker 2: I was like considering taking. I didn't know where I
Speaker 2: was going with that and then I asked Fauzi and
Speaker 2: thenauzy was like, I don't think you should because blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. Then I just like, oh, is that so?
Speaker 2: And then I sat home and like stewed over it
Speaker 2: for a bit. I'm just like, ah, how bad can
Speaker 2: it be?
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't only me who said don't take that job.
Speaker 2: There were a couple
Speaker 2: of other people who told us and I'm just like,
Speaker 2: I mean it's just a
Speaker 2: job,
Speaker 1: right? Um, well, if it's a red flag,
Speaker 1: it's a red flag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they turn out to be 110% right,
Speaker 2: so don't take that job. I think
Speaker 1: for myself, I would say when it comes to work, um,
Speaker 1: don't bring in like personal like emotions into work.
Speaker 2: I
Speaker 1: feel
Speaker 2: like this
Speaker 2: is what we talked about before. Yeah, I,
Speaker 1: I think it's very difficult. So yeah, like having a
Speaker 1: friend and then being like.
Speaker 1: Their, their boss, so to speak, I think, I think
Speaker 1: it's very tough for me lah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, is your voice cracking up a little bit?
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not crying, but just.
Speaker 2: Can I just say like this incident happened around like
Speaker 2: our dance episode, right? Yeah, and I think like it
Speaker 2: took a toll on his.
Speaker 2: To him for even going through the dance episodes, even
Speaker 1: I feel like I wish I would tell myself it's
Speaker 1: just like don't, don't care so much sometimes. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not within your control. So it's like, but it's also
Speaker 1: like not in your nature that you are such a
Speaker 1: caring person. I feel like you, you really have a
Speaker 1: lot of love to give a lot of people. But
Speaker 1: then I realized that after the whole incident and everything, I,
Speaker 1: I felt more free, OK.
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel so emotionally like trapped anymore. I
Speaker 1: love that. Yeah, it's a learning process. I feel like
Speaker 1: I think one of the things is I think at
Speaker 1: some point or another, a few of us have gone through,
Speaker 1: or actually almost all of us have gone through the
Speaker 1: part where in our jobs we've had to manage people, uh,
Speaker 1: it's something that nobody can teach you how to do.
Speaker 1: I've had to learn trial by fire basically, so I
Speaker 1: feel like something that.
Speaker 1: If you're like a new manager, don't feel stressed about
Speaker 1: it and there is no like guidebook that will tell
Speaker 1: you every single thing that you have to do.
Speaker 1: Because some days you will wake up and you realize
Speaker 1: you have a completely different situation and you have to
Speaker 1: find a way to deal with it.
Speaker 2: It's actually a
Speaker 2: pretty lonely journey.
Speaker 1: It is,
Speaker 2: it's lonely at 100%. Yeah, and also you need to
Speaker 2: remember that like sometimes you're not going to be liked
Speaker 2: when you're managing people and that's something that you have
Speaker 2: to be OK with. Yeah, I think that that goes
Speaker 2: like with life also, right? Like not everyone is gonna
Speaker 2: like you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just be yourself. What are you most grateful for
Speaker 2: in life? Oh, I think stronger relationships. OK, yeah, whether
Speaker 2: it's like internal, my relationship with myself, my relationship with
Speaker 2: my family, my friends, I think um it's they've been
Speaker 2: great for the last year
Speaker 2: or so.
Speaker 1: I'm very grateful for new opportunities. Uh, like I said
Speaker 1: during the camping episode, I felt like at that point
Speaker 1: in time.
Speaker 1: Uh, it was the end of the road for me
Speaker 1: in terms of my career, and I want was supposed
Speaker 1: to do something else, uh, but I'm glad that one
Speaker 1: year down the road I'm still able to do what
Speaker 1: I love. So I'm very grateful for that. I'm, I'm
Speaker 1: grateful for just being healthy like healthy body, healthy mind, yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm thankful for FG as well.
Speaker 2: Shout
Speaker 2: out my business partner. Shout out shout out
Speaker 1: FJ GC fan.
Speaker 1: And she's the number one Jesu hater, but she loves Amo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know play
Speaker 2: play tears by the way, FJ has the cutest daughter ever. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: has like a personality. Yeah, holy like sometimes I look
Speaker 2: at FJ's story, right, and I would just find so
Speaker 2: much joy in looking at her. I want.
Speaker 1: I always thought about LJ like they all know who
Speaker 1: LJ is like that.
Speaker 2: No, yeah. I'm grateful for my parents actually. Like as
Speaker 2: in like the past year I, my relationship with my
Speaker 2: parents hasn't always been like very close and everything and
Speaker 2: like because I think I was going through like a
Speaker 2: lot in life, um, the past few years and like
Speaker 2: There's there's always this sort of like resentment towards them
Speaker 2: like growing up, but in the past year, right, I think,
Speaker 2: I don't know what snapped in me. I just realized
Speaker 2: that they are also trying and it's their first time
Speaker 2: being parents too also. So like
Speaker 2: I slowly got to see like more different like different
Speaker 2: perspectives and everything and then like, yeah, I love, I
Speaker 2: love you guys. Next question. What is your best adulting
Speaker 2: tip you would give to someone? I feel like I'm
Speaker 2: not an adult yet. Yeah, no, me too. I just
Speaker 2: stepped into.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, when, when, let's say
Speaker 1: when I was younger, I want to try this, I
Speaker 1: wanna try that, then my parents will be like, you know,
Speaker 1: in Chinese they're just saying like sununhongru too like you're
Speaker 1: very temperamental. What you.
Speaker 1: Try this and you give up. Try this and you
Speaker 1: give up, but I don't think that's wrong. I feel
Speaker 1: like when you're young, just, just do so like suddenly
Speaker 1: you see oh gardening, go and try, you know, try
Speaker 1: all these many stuff and then even if you don't
Speaker 1: find something that you like, right, you will find something
Speaker 1: that you know what you don't like at least, right?
Speaker 1: And I think that's very, very, very, very important and
Speaker 1: with youth comes that, um.
Speaker 1: What do you call that? This luxury to just try
Speaker 1: anything and everything. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I totally resonate
Speaker 1: with that because, uh, for me, especially for someone who,
Speaker 1: who left like a corporate type job, later part of
Speaker 1: my mid-thirties, it's something that I was reflecting about recently
Speaker 1: and thinking about it and I was like, actually, I
Speaker 1: wish I did it earlier.
Speaker 1: I felt like there was so much hesitance from me
Speaker 1: to leave my corporate job because I'd be leaving a
Speaker 1: comfortable salary, I'd be leaving, uh, you know, a regularity
Speaker 1: in terms of my routine, so.
Speaker 1: After like 1.5 years of doing it freelance, in terms
Speaker 1: of like money earned compared to the time spent, I
Speaker 1: would say that's a lot more for me uh and
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that and I wished I was more brave
Speaker 1: to be able to do that earlier on because I
Speaker 1: think I would have had
Speaker 1: Other things like related things settled. I don't regret it.
Speaker 1: I just regret not trying a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier.
Speaker 2: Um, I think for me, one thing I always like
Speaker 2: to tell people, especially those like younger than me, right,
Speaker 2: is to go easy on yourself. I think when you
Speaker 2: say the word like adulting, right, that it comes with
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. It feels very burdensome, right?
Speaker 2: And I think growth, like growing up and like being
Speaker 2: more mature and all that, it's actually a really fun process,
Speaker 2: but because we put like too much, um, yeah, too
Speaker 2: much pressure I guess, right, you, you kind of miss
Speaker 2: out on the moments that you should be enjoying. I
Speaker 2: think a lot of us fall into the trap where
Speaker 2: where we are now is a stepping stone for the
Speaker 2: future and then you forget to to be in the
Speaker 2: present and enjoy this moment like enjoy.
Speaker 2: Your first job and you know enjoy your first big
Speaker 2: pay whatever, but we always like pressure ourselves into like
Speaker 2: my first pay, I really have to save 50%, you know,
Speaker 2: and like those are things of course like it's important,
Speaker 2: but go easy on yourself, you know, and just there
Speaker 2: I think don't forget to enjoy like where you're at.
Speaker 1: I love it. I want to say that being in
Speaker 1: your 30s is not a bad thing. I feel like
Speaker 1: 30s is the
Speaker 1: The more fun era of your life because one, you
Speaker 1: have a lot more money from the time you started
Speaker 1: working in your 20s. So a lot of people look
Speaker 1: at their 30s and like, oh my God, I'm turning 30,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be old, but actually 30s damn shows.
Speaker 1: I feel like the past 6 years of my life, right,
Speaker 1: have been the most fun. I've been able to travel
Speaker 1: the world. I've been able to do different things.
Speaker 1: Things I've never been able to do and also don't
Speaker 1: be afraid of trying new things. Like, honestly, like I'm
Speaker 1: not a sporty person, but pickleball changed me to the
Speaker 1: ball back to pickleball. It really changed me. I found
Speaker 1: something that I enjoy even at like 35, 36, and
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah, yeah, no, honestly, I can't wait for me to
Speaker 2: be like in my 30s or so. I think one
Speaker 2: advice um I'll give to
Speaker 2: Um, to those people going through adulting, right? I take
Speaker 2: it slow, take your time. There is no guidebook on
Speaker 2: how you should go through adulthood. And like right now
Speaker 2: I'm going through adulthood myself also. A lot of things
Speaker 2: are very scary to me, like, I feel like every
Speaker 2: move has to be calculated. Like what Aida said also, um,
Speaker 2: we only live through this phase of life once, like
Speaker 2: just do it scared. Yeah, try new things and
Speaker 2: Maybe when I'm 30 so I will check back with
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 1: Oh
Speaker 2: my
Speaker 1: God, when you're 30, I'll be like in my 40s. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I also remember like there's this like thing, you know,
Speaker 1: like I mean there's only the present, the past is
Speaker 1: the past and the future doesn't exist anymore, so just.
Speaker 1: I love that. I really love that actually, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the future hasn't come. The past is already gone. Actually,
Speaker 1: I really love that. I feel like every time people
Speaker 1: ask me like, would you rather go to the past
Speaker 1: and change something or go to the future and see
Speaker 1: what happens. I I really don't care for it, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't care I don't know you wouldn't be tempted.
Speaker 1: No like say at DeLorean that hey you guys, you
Speaker 1: come back to the future with me or the past.
Speaker 1: Come on, no, I, to me, right, if if I
Speaker 1: really had to choose one.
Speaker 1: Yeah I choose future, not past, because I feel like
Speaker 1: if I change anything in the past, I won't be
Speaker 1: the same person I am today. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I still feel like I wouldn't go back to the past.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't go to the future, so like where
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 2: That's why I don't like, I don't like to go
Speaker 2: to like, you know, fortune tellers, because I don't like
Speaker 2: to see what's ahead. I feel like I'm in control
Speaker 2: of my life, and most is like I will, oh,
Speaker 2: taking back to yesterday before I I that kind of.
Speaker 2: Don't get together with this guy. What? Oh, that's a
Speaker 2: bit much. And with that, um, that's our last question
Speaker 2: for today's episode. Yes, yes, I hope you guys enjoy
