Late Night Hotpot
Two Gen-Zs going against the grain—breaking free from generational expectations and fighting for our versions of success. No filters—just raw stories, real talk, and the truths we were never allowed to say out loud.
Late Night Hotpot
#9 - I'm Her NEPHEW...But I Was Born FIRST!?
In this episode of Late Night Hotpot, Jeremy and his Second Auntie Zoe sit down for a warm, late-night chat about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between the American, Canadian, and New Zealand accents—why they trip us up, what they say about where we're from, and how they shape the way we’re heard. But it goes deeper. They open up about the struggle of connecting with parents across generational and cultural lines—how love can be quiet, how conversations can feel like translations, and how sometimes, saying “I understand” takes more than just words. Also on the table: the ongoing challenge of learning both Mandarin and Cantonese—mixing tones, mixing meanings, and figuring out where you really belong when you speak more than one language... or none fluently. It’s heartfelt, a little messy, and very real.
