Sprained Ankle? Chinese Oil Will Fix It – Generational Gaps, Explained | Season 1 | EP#5
Ever tried explaining physiotherapy to your Asian dad and got hit with “Put some Chinese oil on it”? Or offered him moisturiser only to get “my skin’s fine, thanks”? In this episode, Jeremy and Zoe laugh (and cry) their way through the world of intergenerational differences — from not believing in taking care of yourself to the whole “just grind and get the job” mentality. They dive deep into why many Asian parents are allergic to the idea of entrepreneurship, clinging tightly to the 9-to-5 dream they sacrificed everything for, and explore why so many parents project their ideals and fears onto their kids — and how to break the cycle. They also talk about what it feels like to wish your parents could change, even just a little — and how to make peace when they don’t. Grab your bowl, pour the broth, and join us around the hotpot for a late-night chat full of cultural nuance, real talk, and a whole lot of feels.
