    maybe it's cause im older but i love hearing the business side of shit. This was so awesome and so real! I recently saw ryan higas podcast with michelle phan and felt the same way. I'm kinda getting tired of youtubers putting up a front, showing their life, so it's nice to hear the back side of shit and how much work went into it. Definitely will listen to the podcast

      Yeah, I agree. Its like the whole audience that grows up with the content creators they've been following for several years

    • @jesskhan09
      @jesskhan09 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I more interested in the business side too. Back in the days it was more fun. But I’m ok with that. I’m maturing.

      @rossnguyenfavorites5375 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same here! Hearing the business side inspires me to own my own business.

    been to bopomofo about 10 times in a span of a month since it is so close to school. great food. love their taiwanese fried chicken and mapo tots. phil is there often and is always kind enough to take a pic with his fans.

      sociallyineptpotato JK is anti commie freaks, that's why I haven't watched their 10 years now, I blame mostly on American mainstream medias, spewing garbage, hate n divisionness n insults against among Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, communist, immigrants, Indians, black, Muslim, Arab, jews etc. . Causing whole world bloody mess especially in Hong Kong now, last year in communist Vietnam etc..etc...

  • @FIyingDumpling
    @FIyingDumpling 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I once had a really passive aggressive owner confront me via yelp for leaving a three star review. My rating was based on my first impression which entailed me desperately trying not to choke on the steak I was eating therefore, I didn’t think they deserve a 4 star, but I said I was willing to go back and try something else. Reasonable? Not to the owner, he seemed to think he could do no wrong.
    He said that because I didn’t tell him in person that his food sucked so that he could fix it, it was somehow not an honest review? The dish itself was already expensive, it’ll be presumptuous of me to think they could make another one for free. Also - how can you expect someone to be honest about your food IN PERSON when you responded so viciously online to a fair review? Made me want to go back and change my rating, his attitude was a 1 ⭐️

    It’s the same with Mexican food every state in Mexico has a twist to tamales, carnitas, tacos, and TJ, and LA tacos ain’t the same if you have a 5 star chef who’s Mexican roots; he will try to change things and make it more exotic than what it is !!
