Episode 15: Flatulence, Love, and Discomfort (S1 Finale)

Angie Yu: [00:00:00] people. . It took us half an hour to figure out how to get Christie's microphone working. It turns out her cash was too full. I don't even know if that's how you describe when you have too much cash.

[00:00:11] Kristy Yee: [00:00:11] I don't really understand. 

[00:00:12] Angie Yu: [00:00:12] I don't. Yeah. I don't know what cash is. Like. Can somebody explain that to us? And we don't mean like CA S H like money. I mean 

[00:00:22] Kristy Yee: [00:00:22] like internet browsing, 

[00:00:24] Angie Yu: [00:00:24] a C H I think maybe Christie has just been watching too much porn so that her Chrome just didn't want the microphone, like the FBI agent inside Christie's laptop was like, I don't want, I don't want to hear what she's doing.

[00:00:42] Just got off all of microphones. 

[00:00:44]Kristy Yee: [00:00:44] Okay. So today, Angie and I are not recording together for our final episode of season one. 

[00:00:53] Angie Yu: [00:00:53] I know which will come out on November 29th, which will be the day before I turned 30.

[00:01:05] I don't know why it's, I guess it's significant because we both started this when we were in our twenties. And then by the time season one wraps up, we'll both be in our thirties. 

[00:01:17] Kristy Yee: [00:01:17] Oh, I didn't think about it like that. 

[00:01:19] Angie Yu: [00:01:19] Yeah. 

[00:01:19] Kristy Yee: [00:01:19] But it doesn't matter because 30 is just the new beginning. 

[00:01:23] Angie Yu: [00:01:23] I already feel like I'm 30.

[00:01:25] Cause all my friends are 30 already. Like, I don't know that many people who have a later birthday than I do. So in my head I'm already 30. 

[00:01:34] Kristy Yee: [00:01:34] All right. Let's do a proper intro. Okay. 

[00:01:36] Angie Yu: [00:01:36] Wait, I got to burp. 

[00:01:38] Kristy Yee: [00:01:38] Okay. 

[00:01:39] Angie Yu: [00:01:39] Okay. Okay. I'm good. I'm good.

[00:01:41]

[00:01:41]   Kristy Yee: [00:02:09] Welcome back to another episode of shit. We don't tell mom, this is a really significant episode because this is episode 15. And that means this is our season finale episode, 

[00:02:23] Angie Yu: [00:02:23] season one finale  

[00:02:25] Kristy Yee: [00:02:25] season one finale episode. And  so what we're going to be doing. Is if y'all had listened to episode one, we did a little back and forth Q and a session where we got to know each other a little bit.

[00:02:39] And, we're going to pay tribute to that first episode. But this time we collected a bunch of questions from our lovely shit listeners on the internet. 

[00:02:49] Angie Yu: [00:02:49] That's right. Our shitters. 

[00:02:50]Kristy Yee: [00:02:50] Our shitters. 

[00:02:51] Angie Yu: [00:02:51] I'm going to make it happen. 

[00:02:53] Kristy Yee: [00:02:53] What about like shit tribes  like shirts, shutters, shitters, Nitties shitty cities, the cities welcome back.

[00:03:01] Shitty. How do you feel when I say that? Not 

[00:03:05] Angie Yu: [00:03:05] great. 

[00:03:07] Kristy Yee: [00:03:07] Exactly.

[00:03:08] or we can just ask. Because it's what our listeners will be known for. It's not about us. It's about our listener. So what would you prefer to be a listener to be, would you want to be shitter, sureties or part of the shit tribe?

[00:03:27] You let us know. 

[00:03:28]Angie Yu: [00:03:28] Or come up with something more creative, please, because for some reason, Christina are both exhausted from trying to get her audio to work for the last half an hour or so we can come up with anything creative right now. 

[00:03:39]Kristy Yee: [00:03:39] for listeners out there who have listened to all of our episodes so far, thank you so much.

[00:03:45] Cause that's pretty fucking amazing that people are listening to us. Talk on the internet. Yeah. And for those who have listened to episode one, you will be familiar that we did a whole Q and a session where Angie and I. Got to know each other a little bit and allow you guys to get to know us a little bit more.

[00:04:05]So, what we had done was for the past few weeks, we posted some stories on our Instagram. If you aren't following us yet,  follow us at shoot.

[00:04:13] You don't tell moms so that you can get in on all this action. 

[00:04:17]

[00:04:17] 

[00:04:21]

[00:04:21] Let's get to regular programming, let's get to the juicy stuff. Cause I really I'm excited to answer some of these questions, I think because also  we've been asking other people uncomfortable questions, which is great as much fun, as much funds, 

[00:04:37] Angie Yu: [00:04:37] so much funds, 

[00:04:38] Kristy Yee: [00:04:38] but we haven't been uncomfortable ourselves for awhile.

[00:04:42]You know what I'm saying? 

[00:04:42]Angie Yu: [00:04:42] Yeah. 

[00:04:43] Kristy Yee: [00:04:43] Yeah. That's like, that was the whole, you know, first half of season one. 

[00:04:46] Angie Yu: [00:04:46] That's right. Yeah. I've been very comfortable recently just like staying home, watching Netflix, not doing anything uncomfortable. I feel like I'm sliding into like 

[00:04:56]Like into a fuzzy 

[00:04:57] Kristy Yee: [00:04:57] hole.

[00:04:58]Yeah, that sounds pretty nice. 

[00:05:00] Angie Yu: [00:05:00] Yeah. 

[00:05:01] Kristy Yee: [00:05:01] All right. So,  

[00:05:02] I have, okay. I have October 16th.  and it's an ask Christie anything. 

[00:05:08] Angie Yu: [00:05:08] All right. So there's two questions here. One is from. Mike this is actually my coworker, Mike

[00:05:14]he asks, which of Angie's corks is your favorite. I like how this is the question for you, but it's about me, 

[00:05:22]Kristy Yee: [00:05:22] quirks. I, I don't even see them as quirks anymore.

[00:05:26] They're just who you are. So I'm like, what are Andy's quirks, first of all? So Le let's think about that first. What are some. 

[00:05:34]Angie Yu: [00:05:34] nothing, obviously I'm so normal. 

[00:05:37] Kristy Yee: [00:05:37] Okay. The first thing I thought of, which I don't think is either a quirk. And it is not my favorite, but it was just the first thing that came to mind. So I want to say it. Okay. It's the thing that bugs me. It's the thing that annoys me.

[00:05:49] Okay. 

[00:05:50] Angie Yu: [00:05:50] Ooh, getting uncomfortable here. Okay. 

[00:05:53]Kristy Yee: [00:05:53] Okay. So when I go to Angie's house, there's a specific bathroom that I enjoy using. It's an exercise

[00:06:03] that I enjoy

[00:06:07]now, I hate it when Angie puts out a new roll of toilet paper and the toilet paper faces inwards, not outwards. And every time I go, I change it because I use that bathroom. So I have to change it, which is fine, which is fine. But sometimes it gets changed 

[00:06:25] Angie Yu: [00:06:25] back because I put a new role in 

[00:06:29] Kristy Yee: [00:06:29] and I'm like, it's either it's a new role.

[00:06:32]Or should 

[00:06:34] Angie Yu: [00:06:34] I did? I did. way too much effort for something that I don't actually care about, that, that I talked to you now, I'm going to change it just because it bugs.

[00:06:46]Oh, 

[00:06:46] Kristy Yee: [00:06:46] this is why there are some things you just can't put out into the universe. Okay. 

[00:06:51] Angie Yu: [00:06:51] Pooping bathroom now. So I've been getting targeted ads from Toshi for like months now. And I finally caved, so it's like this little birthday thing. Right. And I wanted to install it in my, like, my bedrooms bathroom so that I can have 

[00:07:06] Kristy Yee: [00:07:06] one of the 5,000 

[00:07:07] Angie Yu: [00:07:07] when you have 5,000 bathrooms. but it didn't fit properly. So it has installed it in my guest bathroom. so now that's my poop room and. So I'm going to be using that now, too. Yeah. 

[00:07:22] Kristy Yee: [00:07:22] Some things you just have to accept in life.

[00:07:24]Okay. And actual court is one time when I went to said bathroom, This is all bathroom related, which I guess is very 

[00:07:31] Angie Yu: [00:07:31] on-prem. 

[00:07:34] Kristy Yee: [00:07:34] One time I went to the bathroom and I looked into the bathtub and there was like fucking soil everywhere, like a massacre of soil. And I was like,  What the fuck, but apparently this is what Andrew does when she,  cleans her plants and sprays them down.

[00:07:54]because they're like infected with some shit. I don't know. I'm not a plant person. I know there's plenty of millennial plant mamas out there who might relate, but. 

[00:08:02]Angie Yu: [00:08:02] It did look like a massacre. It looked pretty, pretty bad because you don't expect so much dirt in a, in a bathtub. 

[00:08:10] Kristy Yee: [00:08:10] I don't expect any dirt in a bathtub unless they like, you know, that comes off of your feet or your fingernails.

[00:08:16] But this is like, 

[00:08:17]Oh, there was more Brown than there was white.  Yeah. 

[00:08:20] Angie Yu: [00:08:20] A lot of soil, but it's because I live in an apartment, like I don't have a backyard where I can do my plant and stuff. And if I need to have water involved, I don't want to be pouring water, like down my balcony.

[00:08:30] Cause then my downstairs neighbors can complain. So I got to do it in the bathtub.

[00:08:35] I don't know what else to say. Like what happens when you live in an apartment? Like, I don't have a backyard to do that shit in. So, 

[00:08:44] Kristy Yee: [00:08:44] I'm going to ask you a question next.  So this is one is from Kevin. Okay. And Kevin asks what's in your fridge.

[00:08:50]Angie Yu: [00:08:50] Oh, what's in my fridge. A shit load of things. I have a pretty well stocked fridge for like somebody who lives alone. so at the top of my fridge, from what I can recall is some condiments. So I have GoTo John in there. I have miso paste, I've got pickles, mayonnaise, butter, and probably some lemon peels.

[00:09:09]Yeah, this is also like, I have a great memory, like visual memory, so I can see my fridge in my head, in my second shelf, that's where I keep like the, the F like the, 

[00:09:19]Kristy Yee: [00:09:19] her diamonds. 

[00:09:20] Angie Yu: [00:09:20] No.

[00:09:23]So the second shelf is, some pickled vege. Which are probably expired, but since they're pickles and in the fridge, I figured they're probably still okay. 

[00:09:34] Kristy Yee: [00:09:34] It's probably even better. 

[00:09:35]Angie Yu: [00:09:35] Yeah. And a carton of eggs, a free run for sure. Yeah.

[00:09:40]And some like Chinese cure pork belly, and then the rock below that is, alcohol. I have some botanical vodka, a few bottles of wine and diet ginger red. Wow. Which apparently is like this new thing that I drank now. And then I got some avocados in there. Yeah, that's nice. That was a, I have a very boring fridge. Like, it's not like it's filled with like deer heads and whatever 

[00:10:05]Kristy Yee: [00:10:05] who, okay. Where did that come from? Like people in our heads? 

[00:10:10]Angie Yu: [00:10:10] Like what else? Like what else would, what would be considered something weird in someone's fridge 

[00:10:15]Kristy Yee: [00:10:15] first thought?

[00:10:18]Angie Yu: [00:10:18] DOE

[00:10:27] Kristy Yee: [00:10:27] I did not say human. You went there

[00:10:29] Angie Yu: [00:10:31] because it's not a call. It's not called the tow. If it's not a human, be like a pork feet, 

[00:10:37]Kristy Yee: [00:10:37] what a toe. okay. So what I thought of.

[00:10:40]Harry Potter. Okay. 

[00:10:42]Angie Yu: [00:10:42] Of course, 

[00:10:45]. Okay. Okay. Okay. 

[00:10:48] Kristy Yee: [00:10:48] Okay. Next question. 

[00:10:51] Angie Yu: [00:10:51] Next question. This is actually from Chinese trippy girl, who was our guest in the episode that released today. Chinese should be girl, Georgie ma 

[00:11:00] Kristy Yee: [00:11:00] episode 14. Everybody check it 

[00:11:02] Angie Yu: [00:11:02] out, check it out. If you haven't already.

[00:11:04] Her question is she asked this question of both of us. Is rice or noodles.

[00:11:10]Kristy Yee: [00:11:10] What about rice noodles? 

[00:11:12] Angie Yu: [00:11:12] Yeah. Right. Like that's a really uncomfortable question, Georgie. Like I can't pick, 

[00:11:17]Kristy Yee: [00:11:17] well, honestly. Okay. First thought noodles. 

[00:11:19] Angie Yu: [00:11:19] Yeah, me too. Yeah. Yeah. Noodles. Definitely because. 

[00:11:23] Kristy Yee: [00:11:23] I'm secretly a northerner. 

[00:11:26]so final answer is noodles. 

[00:11:29] Angie Yu: [00:11:29] Yeah. For show me two noodles. Like I literally had noodles for lunch, breakfast, 

[00:11:34] Kristy Yee: [00:11:34] breakfast, lunch, probably eat noodles, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

[00:11:37] Angie Yu: [00:11:37] Yeah. Yeah. It's a very Chinese thing or a very Asian thing in general. There's so many different types of noodles. Like it's. It's a whole jam. You know, it's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle 

[00:11:49] Kristy Yee: [00:11:49] this next question is from Mike to Angie. And it's name a time when Christie, why made you N G laugh uncontrollably? 

[00:12:00] Angie Yu: [00:12:01] Oh my God. You know what I, the Kate, the time that I remember the most recently, I mean, there's a lot, every time we're together, we always laugh at the stupidest things.

[00:12:11] Kristy Yee: [00:12:11] your pumpkin's in your bathtub. 

[00:12:13] Angie Yu: [00:12:13] Yeah. And how you always have to pee. 

[00:12:16]but the time that I couldn't stop laughing was when we were doing the deer diaries episode.

[00:12:25]I couldn't stop laughing. 

[00:12:28] Kristy Yee: [00:12:28] Do you remember? 

[00:12:29]Angie Yu: [00:12:29] Yeah, the signs of old Asia.

[00:12:33]Kristy Yee: [00:12:33] Okay. So for some context, I had to just cut all of that part out. 

[00:12:39] Angie Yu: [00:12:39] Yeah. I saved 

[00:12:41] Kristy Yee: [00:12:41] some of the laughter.   if you have listened to that episode, episode 13, and it sounded like Andrew was laughing forever. Trust me. That was just the beginning part. I had to cut the whole thing and then put segue music into it because it's best 

[00:12:58] Angie Yu: [00:12:58] calf coping 

[00:12:59] Kristy Yee: [00:12:59] and I didn't know how to stop it.

[00:13:02]Angie Yu: [00:13:02] Girl. Yeah, girl, I know how to stop it. When it was happening, we were reading K well, whatever we're reading the entries, everything else was so serious, you know, and all your other. Entries were like about your dreams and they were all kind of like very intense. And then this one was about, first of all, it started off really well.

[00:13:22] It started off with you eating pickle 

[00:13:24] Kristy Yee: [00:13:24] chips,

[00:13:24] Angie Yu: [00:13:24] and , I can just imagine you sitting your bed, eating chips, going K signs of old age, like.

[00:13:31]Read it out loud. Like I was just, I was dying. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I laughed for like 17 minutes. Like really, really long. I just could not stop. And every time I got to the next line, I would like read ahead in my head. That's why, instead of reading out loud, I would just start laughing and then I couldn't.

[00:13:51] I couldn't finish. I couldn't finish the sentence. Yeah. That was, that was something else 

[00:13:57] Kristy Yee: [00:13:57] to try to edit that shit. 

[00:13:59]Angie Yu: [00:13:59] Well, I'm going to have to edit this episode and there's been so much laughter.  Which is great. Laughter is the best medicine as they say, I don't know who they is, but they say it. 

[00:14:11] Kristy Yee: [00:14:11] They are the wise people yeah.

[00:14:13] In the universe. 

[00:14:14]Angie Yu: [00:14:14] Yeah, humanity says 

[00:14:17] Kristy Yee: [00:14:17] it. Humanity. 

[00:14:18]Angie Yu: [00:14:18] Okay.

[00:14:19]this is from Karen.

[00:14:20]Kristy Yee: [00:14:20] Ooh, Karen? 

[00:14:21] Angie Yu: [00:14:21] Yes. What do y'all think? Did I read ahead of my head again? What do y'all think about farting in public? Oh, 

[00:14:34] Kristy Yee: [00:14:34] I do it all the time. 

[00:14:35]Angie Yu: [00:14:35] What do I think about it? I don't think about it that often. 

[00:14:39] Kristy Yee: [00:14:39] What do you contemplate when you're in bed 

[00:14:43] Angie Yu: [00:14:43] going to bed? As humanity, you know, gets closer and closer together in terms of, you know, like we're not just running in the fields chasing after like, Deers we're like walking in a mall with other people and sometimes like your body's got to go, you know, and sometimes that is in the form of gas and you just got to let it go. Like the famous Disney princess said. Let it go. 

[00:15:08]Kristy Yee: [00:15:08] I know for sure that I have in multiple occasions when I was younger, younger, meaning probably up to early twenties because you know, you're not very, still not a very smart person at that time for me.

[00:15:23]I would do the silent fart and then you just pray that it's not the deadly one. Right. First of all, you pray that it's actually silent because sometimes you can feel right. So you pray that it's actually silent and then this time it was, and I'm like, yes. And then you pray that it is not deadly. 

[00:15:43]Angie Yu: [00:15:43] Yes.

[00:15:43]Parting in public. What do we think? I guess we're both for it. We're pro public 

[00:15:49] Kristy Yee: [00:15:49] flatulence.

[00:15:50]Angie Yu: [00:15:50] when I went to Singapore for exchange my exchange BFF and I Shirley shout out to Shirley, I'm going to tell her to listen to this episode. So her and I, we like bonded really quickly with both Sagittarius.

[00:16:01] Like, I, I was close with Shirley. We hit it off, but we're not like comfortable around each other. And I think that was a little bit. I can't, I don't even think I was drunk, but we went to the bathroom and this is in Taiwan. There's one bathroom with like a Western toilet seat and then another one right next to it with a Chinese squatting toilet seat.

[00:16:18]So I took the squatting one and I don't know, I feel like I've mastered farting. Silently and girls' bathrooms pretty well over the span of like, at that point, like 23 years. but like with Chinese toilets, the squatting toilets, I guess I hadn't mastered that yet. So I squatted down, it was like

[00:16:42] what followed up with there was silence. And then Shirley just started snickering.

[00:16:46] that really bonded us because I heard that we were like, there was like no more secrets with each other. You start a sneaker and she's like, you just. Part I'm like,

[00:16:59]I don't know why she found it so funny because maybe she thought I was like a really proper girl or very lady like,  but yeah, that really bonded. Yeah. 

[00:17:09] Kristy Yee: [00:17:09] I do like that though, because it's like, you know, because society makes it seem super weird and awkward when we.  Talk about, or do the deed of farting that when it has been done, then there's this huge ice that has been broken, you know?

[00:17:25] Angie Yu: [00:17:25] Yes, that's right. Like once you can fart around someone you know, you have a special bond. 

[00:17:30]Kristy Yee: [00:17:30] Totally. 

[00:17:30]Angie Yu: [00:17:30] Once you fart, you can never be apart. 

[00:17:33]Kristy Yee: [00:17:33] Is that a, 

[00:17:33] did you just make that up? Yeah. Oh my God. Put that on a t-shirt 

[00:17:40]

[00:17:40] next question is also from Karen. What is the scariest thing about starting this podcast? being vulnerable. 

[00:17:47] Angie Yu: [00:17:47] Yeah, for show, like, I just talked about farting in public, on the internets, you know, like. All of our, whatever image we have ever created up ourselves is completely gone.

[00:18:00]Kristy Yee: [00:18:00] I think a lot of  other insecurities, like people's judgment, I think is really scary because not only are you being vulnerable and you're sharing your own story, because we talk about. Light funny stuff, but then we also talk about some more serious things, right? we continue to talk about our depression and anxiety.

[00:18:22] We continue to talk about our journeys through mental health, about taking medication of both seeing therapists, about being in the psychiatric ward, you know, about suicide and suicidal thoughts. These are very vulnerable and personal stories of ours and. To be in that state of vulnerability is already scary enough, but then to put it out into the internet where people can judge you on it, that in itself is a whole other scary thing as well.

[00:18:48]Angie Yu: [00:18:48] Yeah.

[00:18:53] Yeah. Christie, you nailed it. I don't have to contribute anything next.

[00:19:03]No, but I actually like it. It's the scariest thing is that you 

[00:19:08] Kristy Yee: [00:19:08] are. 

[00:19:09]Angie Yu: [00:19:09] Your life, like a huge part of your life is now open to anybody who will listen to it. But, but that's the premise of our show anyways, that we want to talk about these things because we've never heard people talk about them and we want to share it.

[00:19:24]Yeah, 

[00:19:25] Kristy Yee: [00:19:25] totally. And I think it's really helpful that I have you.

[00:19:29]Shit, you know, because there's going to be some, I'm not feeling very good and there's going to be some days when Andrew doesn't feel very good. There's going to be some days when we get some backlash, that targets either one of us. And I feel like if I had to do this alone, I don't know if I can.

[00:19:52]Angie Yu: [00:19:52] That's I agree like, well, the backlash thing has already happened once and it was to me. And if I didn't have your support, I honestly don't know how I could have gone through that. 

[00:20:02]Kristy Yee: [00:20:02] And I'm sure, I mean, this is the internet, right? So not, everyone's going to agree with what we have to say. Sometimes we're going to say things that is not correct.

[00:20:12] And then we will just, we will have to learn from that. Right. And that's all part of growth and. Being uncomfortable cause growing is uncomfortable  . And for us to be an example of that for the internet, you know, thoughts, that's what keeps us motivated is that at the end of the day, we want to, we want to make uncomfortable things comfortable  because that's going to help all of us in our mental health journey.

[00:20:37]That's right. Okay. Next question is, this one's from Georgie did you, Ooh. Did you ever disagree on anything to do with the podcast? Yes. Oh yeah. We've never fought, but we have disagreed on many things. Like. our name to start, not the current name. We love our current name, but the, or the beginning stages of planning this podcast.

[00:21:05] Yeah. We're going to need a name for this podcast and boy, Oh boy. Was that a rate limiting step? 

[00:21:11]Angie Yu: [00:21:11] Yes, that's right. 

[00:21:13]Kristy Yee: [00:21:13] It took many, many sessions, many brainstorming and Angie's ideas. And my ideas were completely on the opposite spectrum because Andy is very creative and she's very, like, she likes play on words.

[00:21:27]and I'm very blunt 

[00:21:29]Angie Yu: [00:21:29] correct. I guess 

[00:21:31]Kristy Yee: [00:21:31] like, I want things to be very straightforward. Right? I want things to be like exactly what it is, what it sounds like is what it is. Cause I want it to be very obvious. whereas play on words might not be very obvious. It's actually, it's the opposite. So coming up with our name took a long time.

[00:21:48]Yeah, because we just, we didn't like it.

[00:21:59] Angie Yu: [00:21:59] Let's put it on the list. Let's put it on the list list with names that we could not agree on. But when you, when you came up with this. Name Christy when you said, how about shit? We don't tell our moms is, was what? Your original idea. I'm like, that's a T that's a bit too long. How about shit? We don't tell mom.

[00:22:22]And you're were like, yes, yes. And we were both like, yes, this, this is it. But that's the good thing about working with someone who you do have disagreements with because you will never learn anything new. First of all, from someone who. Always agrees with you. And two, it really puts limitations on like perspective, right?

[00:22:39]  and if we went with a name that one of the other person wasn't a hundred percent on board with, it doesn't set the course off. Right. So I feel like when we found our name, we were both super like, yes, this is it. This is the name.  Yeah, it was 

[00:22:53] Kristy Yee: [00:22:53] great. I know, I think in that.

[00:22:55]In that moment, we were already like days, many, many days, many, many sessions in of this brainstorming session. I felt very frustrated. And I'm sure you did as well at that point. And when the name came up of shit, we don't tell mom, it felt like. Some beautiful light and aura, like, you know, like we were both super stoke.

[00:23:16] We were both excited, whereas five seconds ago, we're both so exhausted kind of in this muggy light. Oh, you know, this naming process, five seconds later. Uplifted light. Everything is bright. We're like joyous, fucking confetti and rainbows and unicorns and shit. You know what I mean? Like it really made everything out.

[00:23:36] Like we were like, yes, this is it. You know, we felt it where there was, I can't even explain it, but there was a thing that we both felt and we shared at the same time. And then we, it made me even more excited than I already was to continue on this project. 

[00:23:51] Angie Yu: [00:23:51] That's right. And I think because it took us so long, I think it was like weeks we were at, we had been brainstorming for weeks.

[00:23:59] I feel like we should go through the list of some of the could have been names. 

[00:24:03] Kristy Yee: [00:24:03] I know I thought about that too, but it's grin like it's so cringe, but I guess that's part of the discomfort that we're, that's part of what we do. 

[00:24:13] Angie Yu: [00:24:13] I just pulled it up. 

[00:24:14] Kristy Yee: [00:24:14] Oh fuck. Are you serious? We're going to do this now. Okay. 

[00:24:19]Angie Yu: [00:24:19] No, just like just a couple of ones. one, the first one was  I think you suggested this one. Let's be real. 

[00:24:26]Kristy Yee: [00:24:26] It's too vague. 

[00:24:27]Angie Yu: [00:24:27] The one that I really liked was 

[00:24:29] Kristy Yee: [00:24:29] from your, from me.

[00:24:31]Angie Yu: [00:24:31] From me, obviously, I didn't like any of yours.

[00:24:36] Kristy Yee: [00:24:36] Look how on point. That was, 

[00:24:43]Angie Yu: [00:24:43] the one that I really liked was unfiltered or just hashtag no filter. talking about stuff that's unfiltered opposite of the word filtered. Well, what a great description. speaking, what is on our mind? Not filtering. and I think, I remember you were saying, like, I think we found another podcast that had the same name or something like that.

[00:25:06] You were like, Oh, the name hashtag no filter. When we put hashtags on our posts, people might think it's about like those makeup challenges or something like that. 

[00:25:16] And then this one's definitely yours. It's just called candid conversations. 

[00:25:19] Kristy Yee: [00:25:19] That's definitely mine. Yep. 

[00:25:22]Angie Yu: [00:25:22] and I think this one is the one that kind of like helped us get here is what would mom say? 

[00:25:27]Kristy Yee: [00:25:27] Yes. 

[00:25:28]Angie Yu: [00:25:28] And then 

[00:25:29] Kristy Yee: [00:25:29] we were getting close 

[00:25:30] Angie Yu: [00:25:30] and then we kind of liked this as mental, but then there were, there was a podcast that had a really similar name, 

[00:25:36] oh, I really liked this one called brazen because I'm like, think about it bra, like we, as women, we wear bras and Zen, like how Zen is that? And you're like, that is so convoluted. I'm like, 

[00:25:49] Kristy Yee: [00:25:49] okay. I'm like, yeah, it is. You have to explain it. 

[00:25:54] Yeah. I think there was one. This one is from you. The hyphen in between. 

[00:25:59] Angie Yu: [00:25:59] I really liked that one in between because now like we're, we're Chinese hyphen Canadian, Asian hyphen American, Asian hyphen Canadian. So whatever it is, we are the hyphen. We bridged the two cultures for ourselves. So we, the hyphen.

[00:26:14]Kristy Yee: [00:26:14] I love the background story of it. Yeah, I was. And still I'm like, it's not obvious what we are talking about, who we are, who are we talking to? What subject is this about? You know, 

[00:26:28]Angie Yu: [00:26:28] this is what I wrote. This is, this is very Angie. It's got a revolutionary vibe to it.

[00:26:36]Kristy Yee: [00:26:36] And we actually put that in our Google docs as part of her notes to support her argument for this name.  So yeah.  have we disagreed on stuff? Yes. 

[00:26:55] Angie Yu: [00:26:55] Yes. That's just like the tip of the iceberg, but I find that. We always come to a conclusion somehow or a resolution somehow. Like we, we have never fought.  we have had many disagreements and we recognize it's because we're both very different and that we have different things to offer, different perspective to offer.

[00:27:13] And we always come to a compromise of some 

[00:27:16] Kristy Yee: [00:27:16] sort I think that's what makes this work is that we have that difference. And then I think it's also what makes, I think it's also what makes. our conversations way more interesting because we're coming from different perspectives and we have different ideas.

[00:27:31] Okay. The next thing was, moving on. It's not a question, but a comment smashing stories from Melissa. Thank you. Thank you, Melissa. 

[00:27:40]Okay. Next one is October 30th. there's I can see there's three, but I'm not, I don't see what the content is.

[00:27:48]Okay. So why don't you read one? Sure. 

[00:27:51]Angie Yu: [00:27:51] so this one's actually from will, our guest in episode 12. 

[00:27:56] Kristy Yee: [00:27:56] So many of our guests, have been asking these questions. I think it's because it's payback

[00:28:01] smart, very smart. 

[00:28:05] Angie Yu: [00:28:05] Pretty smart. Ah, you guys, you folks, yell are hella smart. Okay. So Will's question. Is since starting the podcast. What is one thing each of you have taken away from it all? 

[00:28:19]Kristy Yee: [00:28:19] not to give too much shit. That's something I'm still trying to practice and trying to remind myself. But what I mean by that is I would obsess over details, obsess over, you know, content the length of the episodes, what goes into our Instagram posts?

[00:28:38]You know, like all, all of that bullshit, but at the end of the day, does that really matter? No, because the whole point of our content is to talk about uncomfortable things, shed light on mental health, have people, , feel heard and feel like their mental health journey. Is, they're not alone on it.

[00:28:59] That's the point. That's the point of our Instagram. That's the point of our podcast, but I get caught up in all of that other bullshit, right? About how people will perceive it, how people will think, do they even, you know, like they're not going to want to listen to an episode that's over an hour long because everybody wanted to listen to an episode that was 40 minutes long.

[00:29:16] and so what I'm learning , from starting a podcast is not to give so much shit because no one cares only I care, no one else cares and it, it wasn't serving the full purpose of what we were actually doing. And I'm trying to apply that to other parts of my life too.

[00:29:34]And so that's what I take away from it is to try to give less 

[00:29:37] Angie Yu: [00:29:37] shit. Huh, that's so funny because I'm the exact opposite. And maybe that comes again from our opposite personalities. Like our differences is because you care so much about the details. And you're always thinking about how to please our listeners.

[00:29:52] And I'm a little bit, I, what I'm learning is how to be less selfish. because for me I'm like, well, we just focus on what we do and what we like to do. And then, and then the right people will come, but sometimes that's not. It's not, it doesn't really work like that. You know,  like how I really want it to be very creative with our name would be really creative with our episode titles.

[00:30:11] But in reality, it's the straightforward episode titles that gets more listens. So I'm starting to learn like, Hey, not everything has to be like, A fucking word puzzle, you know, like not everything has to have a deeper meaning. You know, sometimes it's just about giving it to people straight.

[00:30:29]so that's what I'm learning, like, to be less selfish because I'm selfish because I like things with a deeper meaning. So I assume that other people will like it too, but I need to not think that what I like is what other people like. Yeah, so I'm opposite. Like you're like, I need to give less shit.

[00:30:46] And for me, I'm like, I need to give a little bit more shit, 

[00:30:49]Kristy Yee: [00:30:49] but I think what you're saying is like, I need to give a little bit more shit about other people that sounded really bad. Cause it sounds like that's not what it is.

[00:31:01] Angie Yu: [00:31:01] Other than like calling myself selfish. Like I don't really know how to phrase it. Like.  

[00:31:06] Kristy Yee: [00:31:06] thinking about how to better serve. Right. Cause that's, that's, that's the position that I am always coming from too. And when we, when NG and I have our quote unquote, our readings, you know, cause we're fancy pants.

[00:31:16] Yeah. Meetings, meaning like we hang out on her couch and we talk about shit, but it's always about like, Okay, how can we give value? How can we,  again, always trying to tie back into what is the purpose of what we are doing, right. And how can we serve our audience, our listeners better. Yeah, that's right.

[00:31:35]and I think it's, it is very interesting that  what you have taken from being in this project is I need to start paying attention to these things. Yeah. Like how to add value into the world. And then for me, it's not that I'm opposite. Not that I don't want to add value to it with the world, because that's the whole point.

[00:31:53] Right. But to not care so much about the judgment that might come with it,  

[00:31:59]Angie Yu: [00:31:59] Oh, you know what it is, you're all about the details. And I'm all about the big picture. For you, you're all about the details about like how many minutes should this episode see? 

[00:32:09] Kristy Yee: [00:32:09] what 

[00:32:10] Angie Yu: [00:32:10] tags do we need to add and stuff like that.

[00:32:12] Like, you're all about the details because the detail is what gets us there to our product. And I'm all about the big picture. So I don't think of all the details as much. And I'm starting to realize like, Hey, sometimes the details matter and you're realizing, Hey, sometimes it's details. 

[00:32:26] Kristy Yee: [00:32:26] Mm. Yes. Boom. Very good.

[00:32:30] Very good. Okay. That was, yeah, that was very nice. It was just like close the book on that chapter. 

[00:32:36] Angie Yu: [00:32:36] Yeah, 

[00:32:37]Kristy Yee: [00:32:37] well said.  Okay. Next question. Next question is from Gray's studio. They make personal lives, charcuterie boards. Tell us what you want to be remembered for. Holy shit. 

[00:32:54] Angie Yu: [00:32:54] Holy shit. 

[00:32:55]Kristy Yee: [00:32:55] There's that? However way you want to interpret that?

[00:32:59]Holy shit. 

[00:33:01] Angie Yu: [00:33:01] Can I go? 

[00:33:03]Kristy Yee: [00:33:03] Okay. Well, if you're going to prove it, then I'm going to go pee.

[00:33:07]Instead of using that time to, you know, craft a really well crafted response, I went and got raspberries. 

[00:33:15]Angie Yu: [00:33:15] Oh, okay. I didn't know what I was doing. I was looking at memes, so 

[00:33:20] Kristy Yee: [00:33:20] excellent.  what?

[00:33:23] Angie Yu: [00:33:23] I just came up with a really good name. Oh my God. 

[00:33:25]Well, the name, another name for our listener pooper troopers, 

[00:33:29]Kristy Yee: [00:33:29] poopoo troopers.

[00:33:30]Angie Yu: [00:33:30] Yeah. I don't feel quite right. It's cute pooper shoe, the poop troop 

[00:33:35]Kristy Yee: [00:33:35] poop troupes, the poop troop. the poop trooper, the poop troop.

[00:33:39]I do like that. I 

[00:33:40] Angie Yu: [00:33:40] do like that. 

[00:33:41] What was the next 

[00:33:41] Kristy Yee: [00:33:41] question? Oh, no, no, no. We haven't even answered that question. Throw that shit away. What do you want to be remembered for? 

[00:33:51] Angie Yu: [00:33:51] Oh my God. Are you serious? That is such, 

[00:33:54] Kristy Yee: [00:33:54] that's the question. I'm 

[00:33:56]Angie Yu: [00:33:56] no, no, no. I know. I know. I just meet men like that is a very, 

[00:34:00]Kristy Yee: [00:34:00] I know it's hard. Because are we talking about like remembered for in death?

[00:34:06]Angie Yu: [00:34:06] Yeah. 

[00:34:06]Kristy Yee: [00:34:06] Well, 

[00:34:08] Angie Yu: [00:34:08] to interpret this, how you will. 

[00:34:10] Kristy Yee: [00:34:10] Yeah, true, but okay. In depth versus in life, what is the difference though? 

[00:34:16] Angie Yu: [00:34:16] Life and death cannot exist without each other. Let's not get 

[00:34:19] Kristy Yee: [00:34:19] all philosophical.  

[00:34:21] So  this question, I feel like made me most . Uncomfortable. 

[00:34:25] Angie Yu: [00:34:25] Yeah. Because it's like, we can't answer it. I 

[00:34:28] Kristy Yee: [00:34:28] think I can. I just don't know how 

[00:34:30]Angie Yu: [00:34:30] me neither. I feel like you can write like a whole manuscript on this, you know? 

[00:34:35] Kristy Yee: [00:34:35] I want to be remembered as dope pass, 

[00:34:40] Angie Yu: [00:34:40] not as four. 

[00:34:42]Kristy Yee: [00:34:42] Ah. Oh, but open to interpretation though. 

[00:34:45]Angie Yu: [00:34:45] you want to be remembered for being dope pass? You can say that. 

[00:34:49]Kristy Yee: [00:34:49] Remember four, so four would be your actions. 

[00:34:52] Angie Yu: [00:34:52] Yeah. 

[00:34:54] Kristy Yee: [00:34:54] But who you are dictates when your actions will be. 

[00:34:58] Angie Yu: [00:34:58] Yeah. So it can be like, you want to be, remember for being dope house.

[00:35:03]Kristy Yee: [00:35:03] Yes, that is, that is my final answer. 

[00:35:08]Angie Yu: [00:35:08] Cause being is also an action. We are human beings. 

[00:35:12] Kristy Yee: [00:35:12] Yes, we are 

[00:35:15] Angie Yu: [00:35:15] being, 

[00:35:15] Kristy Yee: [00:35:15] we are acting dove assay.

[00:35:17]What are some of your first things that came to mind without trying to formulate them into a sentence? 

[00:35:24]Angie Yu: [00:35:24] I want to be known for, honestly, those two things, like same thing, like one is to be known for, like an inanimate object and then, or, or, or just an intangible concept. And the other one would be like, known for being like a good 

[00:35:41] Kristy Yee: [00:35:41] person.

[00:35:42]What's the, what's the intangible object. I care about that more than you being a good person 

[00:35:47] Angie Yu: [00:35:47] concept is I want to be remembered for telling a good story. 

[00:35:50] Kristy Yee: [00:35:50] Hm That's really nice. Tell us what you want to be remembered for. I feel like it's all the things. That I had spoke about earlier about what this podcast is about, about what we want to do, what our, what our goals are.

[00:36:03] That's what I want to be remembered for if 

[00:36:05] Angie Yu: [00:36:05] you were to die tomorrow, would you be 

[00:36:07] Kristy Yee: [00:36:07] okay with that? 

[00:36:08] Angie Yu: [00:36:08] Would you be content?

[00:36:10]Kristy Yee: [00:36:10] I think 

[00:36:11] Angie Yu: [00:36:11] so. Nice. Yeah. I think that's a pretty good place to be, to be content. I think I would be too. I don't think I would have been two, three months ago 

[00:36:22]Kristy Yee: [00:36:22] now. 

[00:36:22] Angie Yu: [00:36:22] I feel content 

[00:36:23] Kristy Yee: [00:36:23] well, what's the difference between two and three months ago and where you are now? I just 

[00:36:27] Angie Yu: [00:36:27] wasn't really at peace yet. 

[00:36:29]Kristy Yee: [00:36:29] I 

[00:36:29] Angie Yu: [00:36:29] hadn't really found that peace inside me.

[00:36:32] Kristy Yee: [00:36:32] What does peace mean for you? 

[00:36:34]Angie Yu: [00:36:34] Just being okay. Being who I am. 

[00:36:36] Kristy Yee: [00:36:36] Hmm. Yeah. You know, I feel the same, same thing, like being okay with who I am being okay. That not everyone's going to like me being okay. That, you know, at the end of the day, I just want to be a good person and I want to serve in some manner.

[00:36:54] And I feel like through my day job and through my night job, my nine to five and my five to nine, I feel like I am. I'm 

[00:37:05] Angie Yu: [00:37:05] doing that. Yeah, I think so. I would agree with that. And like two, three months away, what does it, what does it melt? 

[00:37:12] Kristy Yee: [00:37:12] Is it like 

[00:37:14] Angie Yu: [00:37:14] four or five months ago? Not two, three months ago. What is the concept of time?

[00:37:20] The concept of time and my eyebrows do not exist in this pandemic.

[00:37:23] Yeah. Like four or five months ago, I would not have been happy if I had died the next day, because I was not content with myself. Like I was living for a future version of myself. You know what I mean? Like, like all, I cannot be happy unless I lost this many pounds where I cannot be happy unless I've done this.

[00:37:43] I can not be happy unless I look like this.  but now I feel content 

[00:37:47]Kristy Yee: [00:37:47] and, you know,  I feel like that's you focusing on living in the present, which is not an easy thing to do Because we're either living in the past or living for the future. 

[00:37:58]Angie Yu: [00:37:58] That's right. So for a long time, I was living in the past. and then for a long time, I was living for the future. Never living for just who I am now. And when you don't live for your current version of yourself, you're not really living. So now I feel like I'm actually living, even though sometimes it's a bit boring.

[00:38:16]I guess I'm at that age now that I'm 30, 

[00:38:19] where 

[00:38:20]a boring day constitutes as a good day,  

[00:38:23] Kristy Yee: [00:38:23] Yep. I would agree. And. Thinking a little bit more deeper about what you said. Like if I die tomorrow, would I be content? I say yes. and then I think, okay, well, why, why do I say yes? Well, I feel like in my life, I have people around me who love me, who I love.

[00:38:42]So I have a great community of human beings in my sphere. that feels really good. So I'm content about that. I feel like I have, and this, I don't know if it's the right answer and maybe there is no right answer. I feel like I've done some of the things that I've wanted to do. Of course, there's plenty more to go, but because I've already done some of the things I feel like given the time that I've already had on this earth and I was able to.

[00:39:12]To use that time in the way that I wanted to, by achieving those things that I feel good about it. You know what I mean? And I'm being very vague right now. So what are these things? I've. Travel, not to the extent that I want, I want to continue to travel. Of course, like there is no end date for me for doing that, but I've traveled to enough places where I feel like cool.

[00:39:36] I had the privilege and the opportunities to see so many countries and to have met so many people on the other side of the world, that, you know, like the butterfly effect. I don't know how that could have happened. Like what would have. Erupted too. But the fact that at one point in our lives, I had crossed paths with all these people that I otherwise would not have had I not traveled.

[00:39:58] So that was always a thing for me that I've always wanted to do, but afraid to do. But in the last few years I was able to start doing some of that. So I feel content that I was able to, to achieve that, you know? and then another thing is going to school. And like graduating. Cause that was a very big deal for me.

[00:40:16] And, and during that time I was definitely living in the future, thinking like my sole purpose is to graduate and become a dietician.  and because I've done it, then I feel good about it. That's 

[00:40:31] Angie Yu: [00:40:31] good. 

[00:40:33] Kristy Yee: [00:40:33] Yeah. 

[00:40:34] Angie Yu: [00:40:34] Good. and celebrate that, you know, and when you were talking about the whole travel thing, it just made me really think about how traveling,  you know, traveling is very diff like it's, it's obviously something that, you know, as a generation we're very privileged to be able to do.

[00:40:49] And also, not everyone in our generation can do it either.  it is definitely a privilege and. But I also feel like some people take it for granted too. Like traveling is not yeah. The means to an end at all. Like, just because you travel, it doesn't make you a better person, just because you travel, doesn't make you a smarter person just because you travel doesn't mean it mean that it'll make you happy.

[00:41:12] And if your measure of happiness or success in life is how much you've traveled, then it's not. It's like, I feel like that travel is a very good. You know, almost like a, like a symbolism for life. Like it's, it's about the journey when it comes to travel. If you're just, there are some people out there who are just trying to check off a list, right.

[00:41:30] Like I want to travel to this many countries, like, Oh, I've been to like 69 countries. Yeah. But have you been to the countries or have you just been to the countries? You know, like, did you actually, immerse yourself in that moment when you're traveling or did you, were you just there to check off another list?

[00:41:47] Like kind of like life, right? Did you go to school because you enjoy learning and you want to do it and you want to achieve it? What did you do? Do it because you're told to doing, you want to check it off as a list, because for me going to school was a checklist and I feel like I really missed out on, like, I still enjoy some parts of it, but for me overall, it really didn't mean that much to me.

[00:42:09]which sounds also sounds ungrateful, but in hindsight, I'm really grateful for it. I just meant in the moment when I was at school, I was not grateful for my experience because for me it was a checklist. So for me, like travel feels the same way where I used to be like, I want to go to all of these places.

[00:42:27]then I'll be like, then I'll be happier if I can go to more places, but then because of the pandemic and because I'm forced to stay home, like everybody else, it makes me think like, if I keep chasing that I'll never be happy because the world is vast and I'm this tiny little person I'll never be able to go everywhere.

[00:42:44]And I have this scratch map in my room. 

[00:42:47]Kristy Yee: [00:42:47] Where 

[00:42:47]Angie Yu: [00:42:47] I've only scratched off a tiny bit of it. Like, even, even like, like if I've gone to a certain part of a country, I'm not going to scratch off the whole country. Just the little part where I've been to obviously, like it's not to scale, but, I remember, someone who saw it was like, I had mentioned this I'm like, my goal is not to travel everywhere.

[00:43:05] My goal is to just. Enjoy traveling. And when I do travel to really immerse myself in that experience, and then they're like, then why do you have a scratch map? I'm like, it's to remind me how small I am. 

[00:43:14]Kristy Yee: [00:43:14] Yes. That's also why I have the scratch map is to remind myself how well, maybe it's not exactly the same, but for me it's it reminds me of like how big the world is.

[00:43:25] Angie Yu: [00:43:25] That's right. It's to keep us humble. Right? Like. It doesn't make you a better person or it doesn't mean you've accomplished anything grand. If you've been to more countries than your friends, like it doesn't. 

[00:43:36] Kristy Yee: [00:43:36] Yeah. I'm going to half agree. Okay. So I agree with everything that you said that, you know, just blindly checking off checklists is not going to make you happier.

[00:43:47] It's not going to make you smarter because you're just checking off checklists without ha there's no like meaning behind 

[00:43:53] Angie Yu: [00:43:53] it. 

[00:43:53]Kristy Yee: [00:43:53] So I agree with that.

[00:43:54]What part do I not agree with?

[00:44:00] Angie Yu: [00:44:00] there's some parts of it you don't want to,

[00:44:05] Kristy Yee: [00:44:05] because I still, like, I still look at the world and I'm like, there's so it's so big. There's still so many more places I want to go to and I still want to continue to want to go to those places. And I'm not, I don't always have the time. or the ability to like truly immerse myself and live in this place for, you know, X amount of months, and even then even living X amount of months is nothing compared to living there for X amount of years.

[00:44:31] Right. So like what level of immersion are we talking about? And so then I feel like at the end of the day, like whether or not you are going away for two weeks versus  going to a place for many, many years, it's, it's what. You take out of it at the end of the day, that that's what matters, like as long as there's substance behind that, then, then there's some meaning to that trip.

[00:44:55] And, and only if you care about that. Right? So, cause for some people they don't, it's, you know, it's not what they care for it. Right? Your, your traveling style or my traveling style could be very different from, our listeners traveling style. Right. And so my traveling style is I like solo.

[00:45:11] Backpacking like that's, that's my style and not everybody likes to do that. and I don't always get to be in a place for a really, really long time, but I am still completely grateful that I have the ability to, and that every single person that I meet while I'm in this new place is someone that I would have never met.

[00:45:33] Angie Yu: [00:45:33] That's right. So, so maybe I, I might have misspoken about where maybe just didn't really phrase what I wanted to say. I didn't express it very well. Like what I mean by like checklist is like, you know, if you're the type of person where you want to see the Eiffel tower and you want to see, go to Machu Picchu, like do that.

[00:45:52] Like, if that's what you want to do, do it. If that's what you don't want to do, don't do it is what I mean, 

[00:45:57] Kristy Yee: [00:45:57] like, that's exactly what to do just because, just because no one else is doing it, 

[00:46:04] Angie Yu: [00:46:04] I don't do it just because everyone else has do it. Like find your own travel style, find your own. Lifestyle find your own, like find your own thing, whether that's in traveling or in life.

[00:46:14]because for me, I am not, I'm not a big, like big site kind of person. Like, I don't care about going to the Eiffel tower. And, I don't really care about going to like, go see Mona Lisa or like, you know, like going to Las Vegas. Like that's not really my thing. but if that's your thing, like, do it, just do what makes you happy is I guess what I'm trying to say.

[00:46:36]I say that because for me, it took me a long time for me to realize that by myself, Like sometimes I'm like, Oh, what can I just like, like things that other people like my life will be so much easier.

[00:46:46]and then it's just about like, accepting that if you don't like something, then don't don't do it. 

[00:46:51] Kristy Yee: [00:46:51] You know, when you said, Oh, I wish I could just like all the things that other people like, then my life will be easier. I feel like. If you keep chasing what other people want or what society wants, then you're actually way, way less likely to be happier.

[00:47:08] Angie Yu: [00:47:08] Exactly. 

[00:47:08]Kristy Yee: [00:47:08] So it's not even about like, wanting to like other people's things. It's liking yourself for liking what you like. Yeah. That was a lot of fucking likes, 

[00:47:18] Angie Yu: [00:47:18] but that makes sense. That makes sense. I totally understood yourself for liking what you like. 

[00:47:24]Kristy Yee: [00:47:24] Yeah. Huh? Then we're going to put that shit on t-shirts 

[00:47:27] Angie Yu: [00:47:27] yeah, I liked, I really like that.

[00:47:32] about liking yourself or liking what you like 

[00:47:35]Kristy Yee: [00:47:35] now, going back to grey studio's original question. Tell us what you want to be remembered for. 

[00:47:43] Angie Yu: [00:47:43] Oh man. Just being con like, I guess just. I 

[00:47:46] Kristy Yee: [00:47:46] don't really care. I want to be remembered for that for my post, just because I think there's so much, I think it's somewhere is a lot of what we talk about to be true to yourself, you know, to really think about what is the societal checklist versus what is your own personal checklist?

[00:48:05] Angie Yu: [00:48:05] I don't even want to be remembered for anything. Now, now that we've had this talk, 

[00:48:09] Kristy Yee: [00:48:09] Ooh, that's even more interesting. Like 

[00:48:12]Angie Yu: [00:48:12] if I think about, if I only focus about what I want to be remembered for, then it's still living for other people. 

[00:48:21] Kristy Yee: [00:48:21] Very wise. Let's just, that's a whole other level of self-actualization there, I suppose.

[00:48:29]Angie Yu: [00:48:29] just, you know, call me Allah Watts. I don't know. Like I just, after our conversation now, like I don't care anymore. 

[00:48:39]Kristy Yee: [00:48:39] I like that. And that is I think true peace. 

[00:48:43]Angie Yu: [00:48:43] Yeah. I'm okay with being mediocre. But not actually, it's not actually being mediocre because again, if you describe yourself as mediocre, again, you're comparing yourself to others.

[00:48:53] Yeah. That's another judgment. So I'm okay being me 

[00:48:57] Kristy Yee: [00:48:57] and who, whoever that is. Yeah. Yeah. Liking yourself for liking the things that you like. 

[00:49:02] Angie Yu: [00:49:02] Yeah. Damn. 

[00:49:03]

[00:49:03] 

[00:49:13]Kristy Yee: [00:49:13] I like that. Okay. I think we have answered it. do you want to do the next question? 

[00:49:17]Angie Yu: [00:49:17] what should do you wish you can tell your moms. As well on the same day

[00:49:23]Kristy Yee: [00:49:23] that I love 

[00:49:24] Angie Yu: [00:49:24] her. 

[00:49:24]Kristy Yee: [00:49:24] Ooh.

[00:49:25] Ooh. And that I do have, I have harbored a lot of, resentment, which has turned into anger, which I have used to throw fireballs at her, but really that's just, 

[00:49:45] Angie Yu: [00:49:45] like 

[00:49:45] Kristy Yee: [00:49:45] a mask of my own insecurities. Hmm. 

[00:49:50] Angie Yu: [00:49:50] Wow. That's really brave of you to admit that. 

[00:49:53]Kristy Yee: [00:49:53] Thank you. Why haven't Thai? I'm scared.

[00:49:57]Angie Yu: [00:49:57] What are you scared of?

[00:49:59]I'm 

[00:49:59] Kristy Yee: [00:49:59] scared. I'm scared that she won't understand. And I'm scared that I don't know how to say it. and also, you know,

[00:50:10]saying things like I love you, is it. Because it's been so unspoken that it is 

[00:50:19]Angie Yu: [00:50:19] super 

[00:50:20] Kristy Yee: [00:50:20] awkward and cringe, which is probably why most Asian parents don't say those things.

[00:50:27]Hmm. She does though. And it just makes me want to vomit, but I wish I. I wish I didn't feel that way. 

[00:50:35] Angie Yu: [00:50:35] Yeah.

[00:50:36]And I 

[00:50:36] Kristy Yee: [00:50:36] wish that she knows that

[00:50:39]Angie Yu: [00:50:39] well,

[00:50:40]Yeah, I don't, I don't know what else 

[00:50:41] Kristy Yee: [00:50:41] to say. It's 

[00:50:42] Angie Yu: [00:50:42] hard because

[00:50:44]you know, like it's hard, right? Because for her you're her baby, of course she loves you. And she says the same things, but before you it's different. Being the daughter being the child is because there is a lot of unresolved resentment, and it's hard. I also cannot say, I love you to my mom. I physically cannot say it.

[00:51:10]And she always, my mom always wants to hug me and I don't want to hug her. 

[00:51:14] Kristy Yee: [00:51:14] Oh, same. Yep. What, what is the, when you say you physically can't do it, like it 

[00:51:21] Angie Yu: [00:51:21] makes me nauseous. Yeah. 

[00:51:23]Kristy Yee: [00:51:23] Yeah. It makes me just cringe so bad. 

[00:51:25] Angie Yu: [00:51:25] Like it's not, it's not even just like, Oh, ha cringe. It's like, it makes me feel physically not.

[00:51:32] Kristy Yee: [00:51:32] It's like, I want to shed my skin kind of a cringe, but 

[00:51:35] Angie Yu: [00:51:35] yeah, it makes me want to barf. 

[00:51:37] . I don't really know what feeling that is.

[00:51:39] Hm.

[00:51:40]And, and you know that like, and I think our listeners know by now from the stories I tell, like I'm quite close with my mom yet. I still cannot say, I love you. And I, and I don't like to hug her. The only time I'll hug her is before one of us gets onto a flight. 

[00:51:55]Kristy Yee: [00:51:55] Me too. Yeah. Why do you think that is? 

[00:51:57]Angie Yu: [00:51:57] I don't know. Maybe I should ask my therapist.  I have no problem hugging other people. 

[00:52:03] Kristy Yee: [00:52:03] I know I'm actually a big hugger, like outside of my mom's life. I'm a huge hugger. I love hugging people. I love getting intimate is probably not the right word, but you know, like. Did she, what was she feeling?

[00:52:16] Right? Yeah. I like to do that with all my friends and, , even things like writing a card to a friend. I get all like mushy feeling. Yeah. I cannot apply the same level of affection with mom. It's like, I'm a different person. So then she doesn't think that I'm an affectionate huggy person. When in reality, I.

[00:52:38]Angie Yu: [00:52:38] I am, 

[00:52:39]Kristy Yee: [00:52:39] she just doesn't know that side of me. Yeah. Because I don't want allow it. I think this is, it just means that there's so much more for us to learn and grow for ourselves because we obviously don't want to have this kind of relationship with our mom. But for, for reasons that neither of us can identify, this is how we feel, and this is how we behave. 

[00:53:03]So I think it's just, just more sitting with that and learning about that. And thank you for asking this question too, because this opens it up for. For me and I'm sure it opens it up for Angie too. 

[00:53:16] Angie Yu: [00:53:16] Yeah. I haven't really thought about that in a long time because things have been going well. I haven't really thought about what could be better.

[00:53:24]Kristy Yee: [00:53:24] Can't grow unless you get uncomfortable. 

[00:53:26] Angie Yu: [00:53:26] Yeah. 

[00:53:28]Kristy Yee: [00:53:28] That made both of us super. Super uncomfortable.  

[00:53:31] Angie Yu: [00:53:31] All 

[00:53:31] Kristy Yee: [00:53:31] right.  

[00:53:31] Angie Yu: [00:53:31] the advice to budding podcasters.

[00:53:36]I mean, we're buddies,

[00:53:45] Kristy Yee: [00:53:45] I'm sure we totally do. Come on, give yourself some credit. And we have, we have, until this episode is released, 15 episodes released onto the internet. Okay. We have microphones. Okay. We have like software that we use. We, we, we are definitely budding by no means by saying we are full blown blossomed budding, for sure.

[00:54:09] But maybe like we are buds and some people are seedlings. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Okay. how about this quick top three tips from you go and then I'll do the same, 

[00:54:22]Angie Yu: [00:54:22] learn how to use your microphone properly, backup your audio, which we don't do. 

[00:54:28] Kristy Yee: [00:54:28] I know what the fuck you think you would think we learned from that shit?

[00:54:31]Angie Yu: [00:54:31] and the third, I don't know, have fun. 

[00:54:34]Kristy Yee: [00:54:34] Oh, yeah. Huge. Yeah. You have to 

[00:54:36] Angie Yu: [00:54:36] be fun otherwise you don't want to do it. Yeah. 

[00:54:40] Kristy Yee: [00:54:40] Okay. I'm gonna, I agree with everything that you said, but if I say the same thing, it'd be really lame. So I would say is. Talk to your audience or your potential audience, figure out who they are first.

[00:54:52] Like what kind? So that, that means that you have to figure out what kind of topic you want to talk about. So Angie and I, we are Asian millennials. We want to talk about that shit. We also, Have depression and anxiety. So we want to talk about that shit. So we want to talk about mental health in the Asian diaspora community, right?

[00:55:11]So that is the people that we want to talk to. So figure out who it is that you want to talk to talk to. Sounds like very, you know, teacher with talk with yeah. Share. Yeah. Share your conversations with, who do you want, who will benefit from listening?  And, and then talk with them. Meaning, ask them questions, ask them what kind of subjects they want to talk about.

[00:55:36] So when Andy and I first started the podcast, we did a survey with all of her friends and like people on the Facebook community. And we asked them, Hey, we have this idea of doing this podcast for the Asian millennial community. These are some of the topics that we want to talk about, which one is most interesting for you?

[00:55:56] Because even though it might be cool in our heads, it might not be. It might not serve a purpose or it might not be, you know, fun for another person. Like we could talk. Maybe shoelaces is like a really cool thing for Angie and I, and all we want to talk about is shoelaces, but if our audience doesn't want to talk about shoelaces, then there's no point right.

[00:56:17] Then we have to find our shoelace people to talk shoelaces with. You know what I mean? So that's number one. Wow. That was a long, long rant for one tip. so figure out who you want to talk to, Or with that's number one. And then number two is actually engaged and ask them for feedback about what it is that they want to listen to.

[00:56:37] The last thing is  pace yourself because there's a lot to do at the beginning. you know, things like we're now talking about technical stuff, but finding. Finding someone to host , how do we get on to Spotify and Apple? And do you need a website? Are you going to create an Instagram?

[00:56:57] What, like all these little details, there's a lot at the beginning. and like music and what editing software, what kind of microphone? There's just so much so pace yourself and don't go. Don't try to do everything all at once because your head will explode and then you'll just hate it. And then, you know, then you'll just give up.

[00:57:16]Yeah. Yup. Yup. Okay. Next question.  This one is from Karen. When did you start having random body parts hurting? And is this a sign of aging

[00:57:29]carers who are listening to our shit? 

[00:57:34] Angie Yu: [00:57:34] Correct? I mean, this episode, this question is definitely targeted at Christie.  No, I'm kidding. when did my body random body parts? 

[00:57:41] Kristy Yee: [00:57:41] When would you start having random body parts hurting? 

[00:57:44]Angie Yu: [00:57:44] Yeah, probably my mid twenties. You know what actually it was when I started working full 

[00:57:48] Kristy Yee: [00:57:48] time.

[00:57:48]  good point I was, when I was thinking it was not mid twenties, it was late twenties, like maybe 27, 28 or so. But the moment you said when you started working, I'm like, that's when I started working 

[00:58:05] Angie Yu: [00:58:05] full time. Out of school when I was 24. So yeah, mid twenties. And 

[00:58:10]

[00:58:10] like, first of all, like the math that waking from just sitting all day and then I, and then just like a thing, a combination of factors driving to work and like having road rage and like all that stuff, not transition from like, It's being a happy-go-lucky student to a depressed adult was just not nice.

[00:58:34] Yeah. Wow. 

[00:58:35] Kristy Yee: [00:58:35] What a transition though? Like, I can just imagine you with some,  I don't know, your school bag going on the sky train, you know, to SFU or whatever. And this like happy-go-lucky Bob Lee person who will just talk to a random stranger versus you sitting alone in your car driving.

[00:58:53]Just driving, just commuting with the C of a bazillion, everybody else who's alone in their car and you're hunched over, you know, you're, you're alone and you're angry because you are late or whatever it is. Right. And you just want everybody around you to go away. 

[00:59:12] Angie Yu: [00:59:12] That's right. Exactly. Exactly. 

[00:59:16] Kristy Yee: [00:59:16] Wow. So that is the transition between student life,

[00:59:23] but it doesn't have to be that way. 

[00:59:24] Angie Yu: [00:59:24] It definitely doesn't. So choose your first job wisely. 

[00:59:30]Kristy Yee: [00:59:30] I started working when I was 26. I probably started feeling the random bodily pains around, 27, 28. And that's because my first year and a half ish, I suppose, of working, I was, I was biking to work which really helps the way that you commute. Is is huge because it's such a mundane task. I feel that how you do it really affects your own mental health. Correct. But you do it every day and that's the thing like it's unavoidable commuting correctly.

[01:00:03] You have to go places somewhere, whether it's school or work or unless 

[01:00:08] Angie Yu: [01:00:08] you're in the 

[01:00:09] Kristy Yee: [01:00:09] store. Oh yeah. That. Not going anywhere is also fucking with people too, you know? So, 

[01:00:16] Angie Yu: [01:00:16] so you have to go outside bike, get home and then work, maybe not in this weather, but you know, like don't lose your exercise routines.

[01:00:25] Kristy Yee: [01:00:25] So is this a sign of aging? absolutely. I'm going to say maybe 

[01:00:30]Angie Yu: [01:00:30] it's not a sign. It's not a sign of a bad thing though. Like it's just life. 

[01:00:34] Kristy Yee: [01:00:34] Yeah, I think physiologically your body is going to take more time to recover as you age, blah, blah, blah. But I also think that this is when your rent, when random body parts start hurting.

[01:00:48] I think it's also because you're not fucking using those. Body parts as often as you used to when you were out playing around and like being in PE class and running between classes like that, you know what I mean? Like now there's no running in between classes, right? From one building to the other on the other side of campus.

[01:01:07] And you only have 10 minutes to get there, to get the great seat in lecture hall, you know, like that's a workout. 

[01:01:14] Angie Yu: [01:01:14] I, you know, I'm like, I'll sit in the back and go on Facebook. And also that image you thought of me like going on the bus, like with my backpack and talking to people. I did that like in my first couple of years, and then I had a car for the rest of my, my 

[01:01:30] Kristy Yee: [01:01:30] university career 

[01:01:31]Angie Yu: [01:01:31] Oh my God. I with diamonds,

[01:01:37]Kristy Yee: [01:01:37] you were still a student, but it's, it's literally your motor rotation and that may, you know, already started shifting. So is this a sign of aging? I think it can be, we're not doctors, so I don't want to like, say that. But I think, , just knowing biology, we all need simple biology.

[01:01:56] Angie Yu: [01:01:56] Yeah. We all have bodies and, and let's be real here. We are depreciating. but you can slow down that depreciation by, you know, 

[01:02:05] Kristy Yee: [01:02:05] moving your fucking body and then maybe that it will, your body will hurt less. 

[01:02:09] Angie Yu: [01:02:09] That's right. It is a form of self care. Just don't think of it as like, don't think of it for pure aesthetic reasons.

[01:02:15] If you look good, that's a side bonus. Think about it as, as health first 

[01:02:21] Kristy Yee: [01:02:21] or not even a bonus. Like it's just another, something else that happened, right? Like if you, if your body shape or size changes, there's no. Like bone cause making it sound like a bonus, it's like a good thing. You know what I mean?

[01:02:35] Like, yeah. So it's it. It's just something that happens to your body. Yeah, right? Yeah. 

[01:02:42] Angie Yu: [01:02:42] Good catch. Good catch. All right. So that's the end of the questions on Instagram and because we had questions from will and Georgie, we had another guest. The season Calvin. So I actually messaged him and asked him to send us a question.

[01:02:58]so that, that way we have all of our guests.

[01:03:01]So I liked it. Read his question. Well, I read it when he first sent it, but I've completely forgot it. So I'm reading it now. How have you. And Christie changed throughout the podcast.  do you see things differently after having conversation with your guests?

[01:03:20]so let's, let's, let's enter the first part first. 

[01:03:22] Kristy Yee: [01:03:22] Okay. 

[01:03:22] Angie Yu: [01:03:22] Well, have you and Christie changed throughout the podcast? So I guess so like throughout the first season, how have we changed? 

[01:03:29] Kristy Yee: [01:03:29] How have I changed? I am a lot more candid about how, about what I say  and not just on the podcast, but the PI, because I I'm being candid on the podcast.

[01:03:42] Right. And not trying to just please people or be a certain way that has translated to my work life that has translated to how I communicate with. My friends less so with my friends. Cause I, you know, you're more comfortable with them, right. So it hasn't changed too much, but in terms of like work, I see the biggest change there.

[01:04:02] I'm not afraid to ask hard questions for example, or, or another thing is when I'm speaking with my clients, I don't, there's no like there's no professional Christie, basically. It's just, it's just fucking Christie. Okay. It's just me. Like, so if I'm going to be speaking to a client or if I'm speaking to my boss, or if I'm having a work meeting with managers or whatever, right.

[01:04:24] It's, it's the same fucking person. I don't change the way I speak. I change a little bit of the verb, like vocabulary because I can't swear with kids if I have,

[01:04:42]But my personality, the way I deliver myself or, or asking questions or whatever it is, right. I don't have two different identities between non-work Kristy and work Christie. 

[01:04:54]Angie Yu: [01:04:54] Mm 

[01:04:55]Kristy Yee: [01:04:55] And I think that was something that I've always been trying to work at anyways, cause that's me trying to work at my authenticity and my own identity and liking what I like and liking who I am now, the podcast, I think has really.

[01:05:09]Expedited that journey. 

[01:05:10]Because I'm practicing, being more candid by doing these episodes with you and having these, you know, consistent conversations yeah. I would say that one of the biggest changes I would say, 

[01:05:22]Angie Yu: [01:05:22] for myself, I think it would be.

[01:05:25] Becoming a better listener.  I think I've always been, not a great listener. I will admit that, because like awkward pauses make me nervous, like, sorry, silence makes me nervous. It makes me feel like I have to fill them. So that, like, I'm not, it's not that I don't want to listen to people is that I'm, I'm really scared of these silences and doing this podcast with you, like has really made me go.

[01:05:50] Silence is okay. You're just letting the other person think. So it has made me become a better communicator and a better listener in my, in my personal life, in my work life. and also just overall, like the timing of the podcast and also working on myself and working through therapy. I've just become a.

[01:06:08] Better person on expressing what I need and what I want from people better. I said better in like so many times, and also just like rebuilding some of my personal relationships, like rebuilding my relationship with my parents and then rebuilding. Relationships with like my existing friends. And also I've gotten really close with , some of my coworkers over the last few months.

[01:06:33]and a couple of them, I know that they listen to the podcast every week and they always listen on Monday and they, they always give some feedback and I really appreciate that. So I want to shout out to them, they know who they are. and they've been a really huge. part of my supporting beam over the last year.

[01:06:53] So thank you guys. And thank you, Christie. 

[01:06:56] Kristy Yee: [01:06:56] Oh,

[01:07:01] okay. I wanted to point out how throughout this episode, we actually identify many times where we are different, but compliment. You know how we were saying your big picture. I'm super detailed. Now we're trying to be a little bit more in the middle together because of us doing this podcast together. Now,  I'm assuming this is our last question of the episode.

[01:07:23] The way we're wrapping it up is we're saying you have learned how to listen better and that's making you a more authentic communicator. I have learned how to speak better. 

[01:07:35]Angie Yu: [01:07:35] Ah, 

[01:07:36]Kristy Yee: [01:07:36] by being more authentic communicator, so, and, and results. We are now both a little bit better at being ourselves a little bit better at being authentic and better communicators, but in two completely different ways, but both are necessary for communication.

[01:07:57]Angie Yu: [01:07:57] I love that.  Boom. And, and at the end of the day,  that's like one of the things we can wish for is just to be a better version of ourselves. 

[01:08:06]Kristy Yee: [01:08:06] Totally. Now, what was the second part of this question? Cause 

[01:08:08] Angie Yu: [01:08:08] know I'm 

[01:08:09] Kristy Yee: [01:08:09] hot too. 

[01:08:11]Angie Yu: [01:08:11] Do you see things differently after having conversations with like, with each other and with your guests?

[01:08:16] I guess  for me, it would be like the similar to what I just said. So to reiterate to what I said, yes, I do see things differently after having conversations with our guests. And then also with you Christie, because just talking on, talking about so many things and not just talking about it, but also editing it.

[01:08:34]Kristy Yee: [01:08:34] What do you mean 

[01:08:36]Angie Yu: [01:08:36] I was like, Oh,  this is where I should have not said anything and just let them speak some more. 

[01:08:41]Kristy Yee: [01:08:41] Ah, okay. Okay. So you're like catching yourself because now you can hear yourself and that's the thing. Most of the time, most folks, when they speak, they don't really get to hear a playback version of.

[01:08:52]Any conversation that they've had.  Yeah. And so, because you're editing, then you do hear a playback version. So you're able to catch the areas that you can improve on that's right. Very good point. Very good point. 

[01:09:04] Angie Yu: [01:09:04] I can, part of that is also because I'm editing. I can also see the flow of conversation more because I've always been a visual person anyway. So for me, having edited is like, Having subtitles. And because that's how I learned English. I learned English through subtitles. So sometimes when people are talking and I'm trying to listen intently, I'm literally playing out the subtitles about them.

[01:09:24]Well, when I'm editing, it's like I'm reading the subtitles from the conversation and it really helps me. Map help a conversation better see how the conversation transitions,  where I can see where it didn't transition very well, but it helps. It has  helped me become a better conversationalist.

[01:09:43]Kristy Yee: [01:09:43] Really good points and really valuable takeaways too. Which is also like recording yourself and hearing your own. We don't do that. Like, and I'm not saying, you know, we should all go and do that, but

[01:09:54]I took this like communication class ones. And we were told to film ourselves, giving a presentation or giving a speech or whatever, and that's to listen and hear the playback of what you actually sound like. So you think you can start filtering and you can catch where you could improve on. And it's so cringe at the beginning.

[01:10:14] So cringe, like nobody wants to listen to their own, the sound of their own voice, let alone what the content of this voice is saying. You know?

[01:10:26]So it is a, really  pushes it in your face and you get to really identify what have I learned from guests? I've learned a lot of little nuggets through every single guest interview that we have had. for example, when we were talking about the fertility journey with Georgie ma episode 14,  I learned that it can be really insensitive to ask someone if they're going to have kids or not.

[01:10:54]And I used to think that the insensitivity would be how you ask it, like, Oh, why, why don't you have kids already? Or like, shouldn't you have kids by now? Like, that's very rude. Right. But I never thought that just by saying  Hey,  do you, like, are you thinking about having kids  , something that I would have thought would be a friendly conversation starter, could the harming and triggering and something that I w I won't do moving forward.

[01:11:19]So every guests that we have had, I have taken something away from that. 

[01:11:24]Angie Yu: [01:11:24] Yeah, definitely. And, Even the guests where we haven't published. Like I learned a lot of valuable things from those conversations as well. And you know, not to toot our own horns, but we have some, we have had some amazing guests and very different people.

[01:11:38]Kristy Yee: [01:11:38] And I think that's key too, because Andrew, you mentioned at the beginning of this episode that, you know, having different perspectives is so valuable just to you and I, we have different perspectives on things,  we have, we share a lot of common. Beliefs, but we also have differences, which is what makes the conversation so much more interesting.

[01:11:58] And we learned so much more from each other and, and that's why we choose to have guests that come from different backgrounds, you know, different challenges so that we can touch upon these, these challenges and understand more because there could be things that Angie and I just do not understand because we don't come from that community.

[01:12:15] That's what we want to learn more. both for ourselves and also for the listeners. Karen, who has asked us a few questions for this episode is an upcoming guests,  coming soon in season two yells, I don't want to give too much away, but.

[01:12:31]Karen is a member of the queer community. and we touch upon a lot of uncomfortable things and challenges and perspectives. 

[01:12:44] Angie Yu: [01:12:44] Yeah. Cause it's something as much as we try to understand, we will never understand it to the core because we don't experience that firsthand.

[01:12:51]So we can try to, we can, you know, try to listen and try to be supportive. But of course we're not going to be here telling you guys what it's like to be queer. We're going to ask somebody who is queer to come on the show and talk about what it's like being queer. 

[01:13:04]Kristy Yee: [01:13:04] Totally. And I love, I love having guests on because then we get to ask all the questions.

[01:13:09] Angie Yu: [01:13:13] I guess, to wrap up our episode, wow. Like I, I thought it was going to be just a lot of banter back and forth, but we actually. Touched upon a lot of very meaningful topics this episode, which I think is a good way to wrap up our season as well, because you know, it's our first season and we have gone through a lot of different challenges.

[01:13:32]Kristy Yee: [01:13:32] mostly microphone related.

[01:13:35]Angie Yu: [01:13:35] Yeah, like actually mostly 

[01:13:39] Kristy Yee: [01:13:39] all the day we are recording our season one finale. We still had microphone challenges. Audio 

[01:13:46] Angie Yu: [01:13:46] audio is a bitch that also needs to be a shirt and nobody will understand other than other podcasters 

[01:13:53] Kristy Yee: [01:13:53] that's okay. Because that will just be like, you know, our niche market then just that one shirt.

[01:13:58]Angie Yu: [01:13:58] Yep. And also like we've, we've tuned into some like podcasts workshops and podcasts, festivals, online, stuff like that. I just want to say, like, to our American friends, it's pronounced niche. Okay. Like. Like every, every like workshop we've been to, they're always like find your own niche, find your own niche and that bugs.

[01:14:19] Kristy Yee: [01:14:19] And then our ears just burn a little bit, you know, some of the cells in there just die instantaneously 

[01:14:24]Angie Yu: [01:14:24] it's niche. I don't care. This is not up for debate. 

[01:14:28] Kristy Yee: [01:14:28] God. We need to wrap up. 

[01:14:30]Angie Yu: [01:14:30] how do we wrap this up? I am blah, blah, 

[01:14:33] Kristy Yee: [01:14:33] blah. I want to wrap up with a thank you. Yes. Okay. Thank you to every single person you thank you to you right now, who is listening either through your headphones on your Google thing. What is it called?

[01:14:48]Angie Yu: [01:14:48] Google nest. 

[01:14:48] Kristy Yee: [01:14:48] If you're listening on your Google nest or if you're in your car or if it's. On Chrome cast, man, I'm just listing all these brands, but you know what I mean? If you're listening you thank you for listening because

[01:15:02]Angie Yu: [01:15:02] if you don't listen, we were just be talking into a 

[01:15:06] Kristy Yee: [01:15:06] void. Exactly. because you're listening, we have a reason to keep making these. Episodes, we have a reason to continue to do the work that we do. Yeah. And so we want to thank you for that because it means so much. It 

[01:15:19] Angie Yu: [01:15:19] really does. And if you, have any suggestions about what topics you would like to hear, or if there is a certain community within our community that you want to see represented.

[01:15:31]let us know, because we want more people on the show to talk about something that we cannot talk about.  we want more perspectives and we want more stories and more voices, 

[01:15:41]Kristy Yee: [01:15:41] and we want to give what you want because that's the whole point, 

[01:15:45] Angie Yu: [01:15:45] yeah, exactly. We want to serve. 

[01:15:47] Kristy Yee: [01:15:47] Having said that season two is going to be super bomb because we have already, interviewed a bunch of guests, guests.
