SPEAKER_00 5:05

The Chinese lady who's on Chinese TikTok, what she's doing is she's copying the white ladies. Yeah, like this talking or their daily vlog, uh you know all this like uh yeah, yeah, I guess you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

No, Tiffany. Who's Tiffany? Tiffany is a girl. Yeah, I know. No, you don't.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

You could have given the guy. Really? Called Tiffany? You wouldn't know, would you? I would. Tiffany is ghostman, this I you don't know that though. He has also girls there, I also know. Well yeah, but there's people called Tiffany that are also guys. They're random. Statistically it's very low probability. Yes, so you have to make a guess. I would always guess it's a girl. Then chance I guess. Guess it's right. It's uh a high probability.

SPEAKER_01 6:37

Right. So it's probable, but it's not for sure, so you can't know, okay. One kilometer that's arrived. One kilometer? My friend? Yeah. She's like starting to always say pardon when she doesn't hear something, but but it doesn't come naturally to her. So she says what? And then I'm like in the middle of saying it again, and then she interrupts me by saying pardon every single two seconds. Because she's trying to make herself get used to it, but like I don't understand why you want to say something you're not used to saying.

SPEAKER_00 7:10

I think it's actually not bad. I'm just trying to respond to your is uh you try to play a role. At the you know, when I was young, I always say I want to be myself, blah blah blah. But playing a role, it's interesting. Like now I'm pretending um from British, I say pardon. If you're working very hard to play a role, not changing yourself, then you have a lot of fun. Sure, it's fun, but it's not fun for me if she keeps it to her role. I know, but that's why I said she's not playing it well. You didn't say that. Yeah, yeah, she's not playing well. If you're playing well, you can have a lot of fun. Like, uh yeah. No, that's what my I wouldn't be annoyed if she actually did it. That's what my one of my former boss is trying to educate me. Because sometimes at work, you know, people are not doing what they wanted, and you get so frustrated, and sometimes you have to say something which we don't like, all of this. She said, just imagine you are an actress or actor, you're playing a movie script. It's not you. Just think about it, you're playing something, it's not you. If you do it that way, you might feel better, and then get to the director or get other people to what you want and such. If, for example, you need to kiss somebody's ass, or you need to just think it's not you, you're playing somebody.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

I feel like I get it, but I feel like it's uh it's a tiny bit different.

SPEAKER_00 8:27

Yes, yes, uh, yeah, that's that's uh yeah. But I think uh she's just to teach you a way. No, no, I get excited. She's just uh trying to teach uh you a way that to get yourself out of this bad emotion if you want to be somebody which might not like you, want to be in certain conditions.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

No, I'm gonna be nice. What mom? She's trying to be be different by saying it's a bussing pardon. She's trying to get used to how is she teaching me anything?

SPEAKER_00 9:02

No, no, I mean my my former boss tried to teach me at the same time. No, she's not teaching it's just uh from her behavior. It's uh I start to connect to all the things which I have. Yeah, I I I I get how this will be very helpful, yes. Yes, indeed.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Oh how cute indeed, indeed. Aren't you glad I didn't say orange? Why are you so excited? Oh no, it's because you can't you don't get it because you're not from there.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

No, I know that this auto what the green light and for twin card.

SPEAKER_01 9:46

SPEAKER_00 10:01

My I don't used to be in a band, that band called MIC. Guess what MIC means? Made in China? Really?

SPEAKER_01 10:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

Oh He had such uh bad luck. Uh he was selected from I don't know millions of people to be in that band. That band had five people, uh, five persons, and then they get uh like uh this kind of very strict uh career like uh uh uh training. They get blocked and locked them somewhere, and then they cannot contact the family, they cannot contact their friends, they don't have girlfriends anyway because they don't have mobile phones, they okay. So they train themselves every day, like a military, for four years, and then they launch them in the market. But uh what they are trying to do is the band which close to American style, like uh uh Best Street Boys and such. But after four years, that's out of the trend. So at that time, when they try to launch them, then the career pop uh k-pop becomes the trend. So then they they spent four years, but they did not uh get popular at all. That's really sad. That's so sad, so sad. They they they get trained so well, they're very good at dancing, they're very good at performing, they're very good at singing. However, nobody likes them because they're not in the trend. Yeah. And they uh yeah, so and then after a couple of years uh he decided to change from uh singer in the band to actor and start from small, now become bigger. And then after he became famous, he went back to stage and realized his uh dream of uh singer and with the concert, which is very high point. It's really sweet. Yeah, his life is not easy, but um it's very encouraging.

SPEAKER_01 11:45
