Do you remember all the questions? So, back in Macau I used to do like YouTube like but obviously like in a way smaller scale just on myself. Shout out to her old channel. What is What is her old channel? So everyone can go look at it and embarrass you. I don't want to. I actually deleted it. But um I was doing some more videos like in during COVID cuz it was like so boring and stuff. Cuz when we moved here that's when COVID hit like after Immediately hit when you moved here?

1:47 WHY? CUZ WE'RE FROM MACAU. IT'S DIFFERENT. came from Macau. IT'S DIFFERENT. WE'RE SO, YEAH. SO, IT WAS DURING THAT TIME AND UM and then we I went to New Jersey and she was like, "Oh, where are you?" And that's when we met up. And then Yasmine is like, "Oh my god, I would love to be like a guest in your in one of your videos." Like cuz it I was doing like more of a podcasting. Like cuz you've been doing since high school like you said. And you were doing like a podcast like during COVID. Wow. Join me as a as a co-host. I was like literally getting 25 views like for videos. So, I was like just join me. Perfect timing. Yeah, and I was like cuz we really clicked as well. Like I didn't have Like we missed speaking Cantonese or just connecting like Yeah. Like cuz it felt lonely kind of like no one really to
2:38 connect with our culture. Our English is good American but we don't know like the norms. Like sometimes it's like it's You're in You're in Where are you in New York? No, now I'm in South Florida. You're in New York. You're both going to catch up fast being over there. There's so much local lingo. Well, people are like habla español to me. So, I'm If you return back in Cantonese it'll blow their brains. So, yeah. We just started like recording videos every week um And for fun. Okay. It was for fun. Then out of out of nowhere we we just started speaking Cantonese cuz that's like our second language and we didn't
3:28 want to lose it as well. And that's when everybody is like, "Oh my god, you guys speak Cantonese." And We just Yeah, we just found that there's so many people interested in Cantonese content. It's like this is like we never thought Cantonese was this popular here. Yeah, we were like we're not going to speak Cantonese. People speaking Mandarin anyways, you know, like we weren't going to do anything with that but then boom, everybody's like, "Oh my god, that's so cool." And then now we even have a Cantonese course. What? And we didn't take it. Take it out. You should take it. I need to take it. I'm over here. I don't speak Mandarin. I don't speak Cantonese. My mom speaks Mandarin and Cantonese. Wow. And she speaks like Oh, that's cool. So, my mom speaks Indonesian. She speaks Malay. She speaks like six different languages. There's a lot of languages there. Yeah.
4:18 And I'm over here with like barely English. So, I'm fascinated right now. You got to at least work on your Chinglish. My Spanish is bad. English is not even good. I can't Oh, what did you say to me then? Yeah, don't let him get away with that. How dare you? So, what made it a thing where you started to do it regularly and you had a dedicated schedule and it was like serious? Well, it was easy already to do like once every week. We started cuz we started when we were both not working at that time. So, we had time and then I was working from home. Oh, yeah, you were working from I had a job. You just DIDN'T SEE IT. YEAH, DIFFERENT TIMES where like not working and then the working and yeah. Okay. What I don't know. And Reels and
5:09 TikTok like became like a thing only like 2020 like later on. And then that's why man, we got to follow this trend now. Like what I remember thinking, "Oh my gosh, what are they doing there? Some type of dance?" And then it was like that And but then like we're kind of like doing all those things? Were you like participating in the trends and stuff? Trying to. Yeah, we weren't getting any views. But then like when we were starting to Cantonese content that's when it was That's when everybody's like I feel like because also you started YouTube channel like since you were young you had a a drive to also grow the channel. And so that's kind of why we we started doing like weekly. Yeah. Like I was like just just come on and like record and I'll edit it. Don't worry about it. And it's like yeah, and we just kept going. Yeah, I saw that you even collab with like other people like other one
6:00 Cantonese dude from Australia. He's really funny. That dude's so funny. He always wears like fake teeth to look like an uncle. That dude is funny as well. I like your guys' Cantonese stuff cuz it's not just like the language but it's like the expressions you guys capture. You know, so it's different when someone just like speaks it but then when someone like is it and lives and breathes it it's like I was like, "Oh ████ this reminds me of like my relatives and stuff." So, that's what made you like it. Give us Give us uh examples. I don't know how to do it but she'll like like what I liked about Cantonese is if um if there was like a southern area of China it would be Cantonese. So, like Like ghetto South Southern? Like like Alabama. Like if there was like
6:50 like For real. For real. It's the most melodic. It's the most fun. Cantonese would be the way of expressing that vibe through any of the like Asian cultures. So, is it How come the like for comedy movies it's it's usually Cantonese? Or at least the ones that I think it's cuz it's Hong Kong cinema. Oh, so Hong Kong cinema by default is always Cantonese. Well, also those ones were able to breach Western audiences more because they were more free and not in control by CCP. That's true. Cuz yeah, Macau and Hong Kong we have Yeah, we we do have We don't need VPN for Instagram. Let's just say. Nice. Yeah, like it's different there. Yeah, so that is Okay, if you do though it's okay.
7:41 Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, we we did collab with so many people even Kevin Yee. Kevin Yee said he Oh, Kevin? You guys know Kevin? My old roommate. Oh, cool. Yes, he's Toysanise. Yeah, Toysanise is like another kind of like Yeah, a branch of Cantonese. Toysanise? Toysan. Oh, yeah. Toysanise. Toysanise. Is that Cantonese? Again. Cantonese again. Yeah, for sure. So, what's it like when you guys do Filipino content? I've I've seen them do Filipino. Okay. Well, I grew up I grew up with a Filipino dad and you with a Filipino mom. So, you had a lot more ideas for Filipino content. worse in your opinion to have? Oh. In what way? Like In all ways. Well, Who had it harder from the Filipino parent? Let's just say there's a lot OF
8:41 WHEN I DO FILIPINO CONTENT LIKE I WOULD feel bad afterwards cuz like my aunt would like reach out to my mom like, "Oh, your Oh. Paji is making fun of the Filipino accent. Like it's very it's very bullying. MAKING FUN OF IT. AND SHE'S LIKE, "IT'S JUST A JOKE. IT'S JUST A JOKE. PEOPLE Everybody does it." But yeah, so we are we we're like, "Maybe not." Also, you don't make fun of Filipino stuff as much because of your family? So, I mean once in a while you still do it. And people connect to it. Cuz there's still a lot of Filipinos like also in Hong Kong Macau. I mean that's the the most relatable thing about it is that you're not allowed to make fun of it as easily. That's the most Filipino thing. Like that's Oh, cuz it's taboo. You shouldn't you're like No, I mean like if your parents didn't care then it's not as funny.
9:31 It's funnier when you're like you're doing it against their will. Cuz that's that's classic Filipino stuff right there. Like they don't want you to do it. You're doing it. So, it's even funnier to you. Yeah, they want you to be the nurse. It's also funny in this room where like half of our career is built off of talking ████ of our own cultures. Oh, yeah. That's how we That's how we heal. Not me. I ████ made fun of everyone else but not mine. But that's cuz you said Japan was at the top of the art. Also, karate's the most martial art. Shut up, dude. Vietnamese don't even have a martial art. They just do tai chi. We just gangster. They just copy everything Chinese. you with a pen right now. Come on, real quick. Vietnamese people don't have a martial art. There's got to be. Yeah, there has to be something. That's for real? They just had kung fu. you what, they had a war. They had trench warfare. Yeah. And they won, yeah, okay. The tunnels. Yeah, and they didn't need karate, either. Yeah, yeah. I thought Vietnamese does this martial
10:22 where they wear vests and stuff. What Which one is that? different like uh ultra movements of fighting, but I don't know if it's like as Ultra movements, yeah. We have tai chi in Macau, too. Like 7:00 a.m. you go to school, we see the aunties and uncles doing tang mah jong and tai chi. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's true. Walking around trees. Yeah, yeah.
