2/3 of the episode is about america and american politics, and then finally when they started talking about his work that was also somehow compared to american award shows (because they think the rest of the world doesn't have them I guess) so we continue talking about american award shows, and that's where I'm giving up after an hour lmao
OMG YOU GOT MISS PALOMA DIAMOND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Oscars better not rob her again although ‘Awake, Alone, and Aware on the Streets of Topeka, Kansas’ is a fun movie.
Soo relatable. My Ma was an expat and dad is American (literal mayflower descendant.) We’d live half in the states and half in England. Both countries feel like home, and my immediate family are in both countries. My accent is weird but subtly, neither American nor English and is also a mixture of both. I had a crisis when declaring my nationality as I was a dual citizen. Both places ARE home. When I’m in one I miss the other desperately and feel like I’m always sobbing getting on a plane. Now I predominantly reside in America since I married a Yank who is a Naval combat veteran.
Also to add a funny: I was in school in both countries and when I’d come back to the states, my comparable classes were essentially doing the same lessons I just went over in England, then catching up all over.
hi! love the pod and always watch on youtube, I know it doesn’t happen super often but it would be nice if you included the clip your watching in the studio to the video so the viewer has context, but also you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to!
Google tells me that they have something called UHT milk, and they don’t refrigerate it . “ * UHT kills virtually all bacteria and spores it is shelf stable for a year or so and doesn't require refrigeration* !” I know when I’d live in England they didn’t refrigerate much stuff, like even eggs. I would just because it feels weird to me. Also even if you have a fridge and freezer combo, they are like the size you’d see in American college dorms 😹 when my English family came over to the states they were just shocked with the sizes of everything. Though our houses are built to fit large appliances.
I love how everyone thinks Kamala wins young people. We have a crisis of young men going the red pill route and following Rogan and Tate and whatever, and people still think Gen Z is gonna save us.
@@JustLisnin2as a mom of two Gen Z boys who both voted this year, I will say that I see the split in their friends. My boys are very aware because of me but some of the kids who don't have parents who are civically engaged have definitely been getting their news from Joe Rogan. On a regular basis I'll ask if they plan on ever having a gf or wife because they might want to look into what adult women actually care about. The girls are very leftist but the boys are about half and half. We live in a very blue state but a rural area of the state.
@@milissaleatherwood6837 that's very telling i just hope the democrats in the upcoming years would learn from this and change their propaganda and be more like how republicans spread their propaganda, like they really lost when there's little to no influencers on yt and tiktok appealing to making teens like democrats the tiktoks that you see is more making trump look cool and hip and macho that's why they gravitated towards him. Democrats need to do this too to stay relevant to young men who are chronically online.
29:11 I recently learned from fashion icon Mina Le, youtuber, that the chinese have been doing tea muchh longer than the british. The british literally just took it and ran with it 😂
this is like the 3rd time that someone has brought up the IB program and you guys were like we dont have that in the US LOL. i went to public high school in maryland and at least one of the schools in our county had an IB program
Since I popped my youtube commenting cherry to be very critical about your post-election episode, I'll comment here to say that the reverse-Marlon Brando joke at 1:04:32 made me laugh so hard that tears were streaming down my face, my cheeks hurt, and my stomach muscles cramped up. This repeated itself several times whenever I remembered the joke. :)
Back in the 90s I had an amazing 91-year-old neighbor who had lived for many years in Hong Kong and loved it dearly. She took a trip back, at 91 years old, because she was sure China was going to wreck it and wanted to see it one last time before that happened. Obviously she was long gone before the caca hit the ventilator, and I’m honestly glad she didn’t have to see it; it would have broken her heart. RIP Rae.
It's nice listening to an episode recorded before the election... Can you please just create an entire alternate reality podcast where you riff about all the stupid things that are happening under a Kamala presedency so I can live in that reality for a bit. You can even do the whole "you mean you can't believe LIZ CHANEY voted against benefits to poor people are you stuuuupid" then we can laugh about it.
Gianmarco: "i´m not gay!!" also Gianmarco: "i`m gonna go to Fire Island, wear the tiniest red speedo i could find and have a photoshoot with one of the hotest bisexual black comedian i know!!"
I got a 33 on my IB diploma. And that was soo hard but there were a bunch people in my school in michigan who got scores in the 40s 🤯 I recommend staying in one place after growing up internationally and making it your home... I've committed to a country, but not yet to an area/city yet so I don't feel that settled and at home yet. But I definetly feel like the country is my home. (Although of course I'm not patriotic😅)
1:00:55 you guys should read about the guy who did that hand motion after winning the Pokémon international TCG championship semifinals, only to be disqualified shortly afterwards
I did IB in the states! But I went to a school that had an international highschool program and I’m pretty sure there are only about a hundred of those programs in the US, maybe less
Ayyye USA IB siblings! It prepared us for college but not in the ways they said it would lol. At least I think so. Did you get the diploma? I was I think four points off from getting it. I know my biology and math exams were good, but English and history...those two beat me up. My elective was music and our music teacher did not teach us or prepare us for the exam lol but she was super nice. Tbh, that whole thing they say about IB diploma earners starting college as a sophomore might be more of a negative than a positive. Those undergrad years were amazing, I wouldn't want to shorten that simply because I did good in high school. IB has definitely prepared me more for grad school than undergrad.
We DO have IB diploma in the USA. I was in the IB Programme in Georgia. He's right, getting the diploma is _very_ difficult, and you need a 32 across all of the exams during the IB exams to get the diploma. That's how it was when I did it about twelve years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if it changed since then. I highly recommend the IB Programme. It's supposed to be a program that prepared you for college/university and can give you college credit. For instance, if you get the diploma, it's possible to start college/university as a sophomore. I don't think it actually prepares you for college specifically, but it greatly prepares you for grad school. I'm in the PhD program about to graduate, and I've benefit more from it in grade school than undergrad.
I did IB too and got my diploma in 2019 in CA. It helped me in college a ton. I was prepared for the amount of work, and sometimes college was easier than IB in my opinion.
@@abrianalvarado My IB sibling! Yeah that's where I think IB helps the most - the amount of work. IB had a lot of work that you had to manage that was on par with college (really, college had less work lol). But IB helped a ton with grad school because I wrote a thesis for my Master's and now doing PhD work, publishing papers. The Biology IAs in IB set the foundation for writing research papers and a thesis because they're essentially the same thing. I remember doing my thesis and I was like "I'm basically doing my Biology IA right now" lol. It's really cool you got your diploma. After graduating, I considered retaking the exam because I really wanted the bragging rights to say I have it, but after being in college, I _very_ quickly forgot about IB. I wish I got the diploma but I wouldn't want to get all of the credits that come with it so start college as a sophomore because freshman year is already a wild year, I would want that full experience, also I wouldn't want to shorten my undergrad experience. Being in college is a very special point in life where you have a nice, balanced mix of freedom, responsibilities, and fun, all without much of the stress that you get with adult responsibilities afterwards. I did find, though, that students who went through the IB program had a bit more academic knowledge than non-IB students. Like knowing more biology, chemistry, econ, math, etc. Then there's ToK which I haven't seen any other type of high school curriculum replicate that class and its teachings. ToK was very vital in teaching students how to gain and process knowledge along with what people perceive as facts (or truths). I would recommend IB for ToK alone tbh.
Julian is right. He IS currently UNQUALIFIED to talk about Hong Kong if he spent 20 years in Hong Kong and can’t speak to the most basic aspects of the Basic Law and doesn’t know the specific impetus behind the protests. But since he will continue to be asked by westerners. And since his voice is trusted more by westerners, hopefully he will educate himself on the specifics so he can help speak about Hong Kong.
