SuChin Pak 07:04
Like, sounds like Casey left her body as well.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:06
Yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:07
It’s hard. It would be hard to contain that having your child meet your best friend’s child that were born just, you know, on just a half a moon apart? That would be hard to to be in your body. You know, that’s like the stuff that rom coms are made of, you know, Charlie’s Angels style. You know what I mean? Like what are we talking 28 sequels you know, in a blockbuster hits? You can’t you can’t contain that. I get it. I get.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:37
I mean, whatare the adventures that Eme and Frankie are gonna go on? What are they do you know Su?
SuChin Pak 07:44
I see them like backpacking through Nepal together, you know, scaring the bejesus out of the both of you. You know, going in like no sell zones because they’re adventurous warriors. And you and Casey knitting your brows at home wondering where the two two ladies
Kulap Vilaysack 08:02
Confused because we’re having a spot we’re in a spa. Where you know faceful of chocolates and tequila correct. I don’t know Paul. Why?
SuChin Pak 08:15

Kulap Vilaysack 08:38
Yeah.
SuChin Pak 08:39
But just like to adventurous friends. You know where no mountain peak is high enough. No river or wide enough.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:46
I love the song. I love the song.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:58
Let’s get into your cart.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:59
Holes. Listen, I’m just filling all my holes. I eaten a lot of stuff snacky snack.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:10
Really?
SuChin Pak 10:12
So I’ve got like a little list and on that list is just everything I can shove into my mouth. I told you about the game changer of the Togarashi bagels.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:22
Oh guys, Su. I screwed up I put the wrong delivery address I gotta reorder. It’s just one of those. One of those weeks Su.
SuChin Pak 10:31
It’s telling me it’s coming to me. Yeah, I get it.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:33
That’s on. Me. That’s not me, Su. But please continue on to the things that you shove into your hole.
SuChin Pak 10:38
Yes. So another thing I’m shoving into my hole and boy is this. I mean, this is this is a this is up there. This is up there with my Chingoo Snacks remember that remember game changer. It’s called Loaf Language. Get it a play on love language. Now, I am very partial to a rice krispie treat.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:00
Hell yeah.
SuChin Pak 11:01
Like I’d rather have a rice crispy treat than a doughnut. I’d rather have a rice crispy treat then than a cookie, a brownie, any other dessert? I think. Generally I’m going here, especially like a portable dessert. And you know, I’m all about what’s in my bag. What’s in my car. What’s the little snack I can have? When I’m really needing it?
Kulap Vilaysack 11:20
Yeah, and you’ll make you’ll make things portable, like say a waffle.
SuChin Pak 11:24
Everything’s poured that and your friend did in the Eat that becomes that gets thrown in the bag. Last bite of a mushroom fried rice. Do you know what you do? You put that in a little ziplock and you don’t even need a spoon. You just squeeze it into your mouth whenever you want.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:37
So can you separate that clip? I have to text Jason Mantzoukas. Do you mind just flagging though.
SuChin Pak 11:42
Yeah, like that. drives my crazy. He’s like, What are you going to do with two last spoonfuls of your mushroom fried rice? I’m like, I’m going to put it in a snack zippy. And trust me. I’ll eat it. I’ve never not eaten. What’s in my bag. I don’t care. It just doesn’t happen. It’s not on my watch. I will do it. I lay down. I lay down my life.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:09
I work less weekly What’s in your bag. But with SuChin. Can we do that? Well, you will. Will you allow that people will come pitchforks. pitchforks.
SuChin Pak 12:22
At my front door all those damn Zoukers, those packers those key tracers those cubers all of you people, overwhelming Zoukerson the Instagram.
SuChin Pak 12:35
Yes, they’re all on Team Zouk, not on Team Su. And you know what? That I don’t blame you. This is not for the faint hearted. I don’t I don’t push this lifestyle on anyone that cannot handle it. I don’t go around making people put frickin greasy fried rice in a snack baggie. I know that. That’s not you don’t have your system set up.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:35
Zouk’s cube.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:59
This is extreme.
SuChin Pak 13:00
I know it’s extreme. I don’t. I’m not asking you to do this. So don’t come at me. If your middle console is not filled with all the things you need to get an A mushroom greasy fried rice spoonful from a snack bag. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. You have to have wipes. You have to have different utensils. They can’t be plastic. there’s a whole thing. That’s right.
Kulap Vilaysack 13:25
You’re not going to scuba dive in just like a bikini. You need all the gear that’s what Su’s talking about guys.
SuChin Pak 13:31
You know what else you need? You need a certificate. Okay, so that’s why I’m not asking you amateurs to go out here. But this is amateur friendly. It’s Loaf Language. Bring it back to speed treat you pro every rice krispie treat is wrapped individually in its own wrapper. And and yes Zouks will then put this in another pouch which will go in a tray, which will go in probably another baggie. I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. It’s self contained. But that’s not the best part. Listen to the flavors. One of my BFFs Carolyn, we have a love of snacks. She is the snack queen. I get all of my best snack tips from her Chinggoo was from her. And then she introduced me to this let me let me tell you some of the flavors so you haven’t Ube Oreo Mochi. Crunchy. Okay, what’s in that? Obey? What’s in that Oreo bits? What’s in that tiny little mochi balls?
Kulap Vilaysack 14:33
Holy cow okay, Add to Cart.
SuChin Pak 14:34
Are you listening for a khaki checks mochi, crunchy. What’s in that Chex Mix? What’s in that for khaki what’s in that little round? mochi balls? You get the drift. Okay, you get the Pandan coconut mochi. Okay, you get the black sesame mochi, you understand what I’m talking about? These are Asian inspired Rice Krispie treats. They’re five bucks each. They’re made with love and every one of them has a has mochi in them as well so you get the chewy texture of mochi, the crunchy chewiness of a rice krispie treat and then the not too sweet flavorings of Asian delights. What more can I say? And a lot of these are gluten free. Now they’re not made in a gluten free factory. I did DM her just to make sure so if you’re like me and you have a preference, this will be fine. If you have an allergy call a doctor. And the lovely Baker and owner Her name is Tiffany Kim. She started this when she lost her job in a kitchen. And her parents were also forced to temporarily close their business. And she thought she would have a bake sale to help out her parents financially. It did so well. Loaf Language thus was born. And for each bake sale, she focuses on a different social cause to help out and a percentage of the proceeds go to the organization. This is like a 360 You’re going to feel good eating it giving it ordering it. Like.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:10
I mean.
SuChin Pak 16:10
Just do it.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:12
I mean I already added already added. what’s your what’s your favorite?
SuChin Pak 16:16
Oh, I come back to it again. And again. It won’t ever get better than the for cookie checks mochi crunchy, it just won’t.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:23
Okay. But that’s that’s number one.
SuChin Pak 16:25
They’re all good. But for me, that’s that’s that’s baseline. Baseline is right there.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:31
Alright, so I’m going to make sure that I, I ship it to myself instead of somewhere else. That’s the first thing.
SuChin Pak 16:38
Tiffany just said our Tiffany just said she’s buying now. Don’t sleep on the Pandan coconut mochi crunch either. I’m just saying. So it’s there. I just love little supporting small businesses like this. But it’s delicious. You guys trust me. Okay, that’s what I’m putting in my hole.
Kulap Vilaysack 17:01
You know, it’s, it’s great that we have all these new segments, you know, you know, we have, you know, later on, you’re gonna do an Add to Queue. You’ve just come out, come up with what I’m putting in my hole.

Kulap Vilaysack 17:38
I mean, it’s it’s good that you you reset us in that way Su, because like it might be someone’s first episode. And that’s right.
SuChin Pak 17:45
This is not. That’s not the hole I’m talking about. So now we’re here. Now we’re here. Now we’re all at the same table.
Kulap Vilaysack 17:51
Yes, yeah.
SuChin Pak 17:52
And we’re looking each other in the eyes. And we know and we know what time it is, and what hole it is.
Kulap Vilaysack 18:00

If you’ve never been here,
Kulap Vilaysack 18:07
Welcome. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.
SuChin Pak 18:20
Su now we swing back to my cart. And I want to talk about how I’ve had a delayed reaction to the enormity, parenthood. Okay, all right, hold on you taking your hair out?
SuChin Pak 19:37
Yes, I need to redo my ponytail for that.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:42
Okay.
SuChin Pak 19:42
Because I’m already.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:43
Okay.
SuChin Pak 19:44
Go ahead. All ears.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:45
It’s going to be you know, trigger warning. It’s going to be peppered with my life of privilege.
SuChin Pak 19:52
Unrelatable just fine.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:54
I’m relatable to a point you know, no, say yes to a Porsche.
SuChin Pak 19:59
And it’s That’s the best point ever. And now we move on.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:02
Now we move on. No, Su. Yeah. It was being Scott for almost four months. With a night nurse Of course, of course, of course. Privilege. Ding ding. And we recently have daytime childcare, which of all.
SuChin Pak 20:22
I noticed. Yeah, I was like, Who is that angel? She’s lovely.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:28
She’s absolutely lovely. And having her help us out, what a game changer. Again, cha-ching privilege, I think before Eme forced me and I needed to be forced into being completely present, like what’s ever in front of my nose? And it’s I was I was her. And it made me like, be like, what, what, what do we need to deal with the fact that she changes so rapidly? I want to see that. But with this help this childcare now I’m kind of like, this is what part of the delay is about. My therapist kind of said that, like, part of the delays are the PTSD of like, out pretty much like nine years of trying to have a baby and like, all the heartbreak and disappointment and and how I have survived in my life is been a very much like, bad stuff happens. It’s like, it’s sort of like, get pushed down. Seven times get up eight, like that is kind of who I am. I’m a bit of a beast of burden, if you will, a Taurus. So, and I, you know, for me to kind of get back up again, I there’s I don’t always let things hit me and affect me.
SuChin Pak 21:49
Positive way.
Kulap Vilaysack 21:50
In any way. Yeah, in any way. Right. Right. Right. Because you, of course, it’s a survival mechanism. I understand now. Yes. Yeah. Because you can’t decide on what it is yet. Because you never know what’s around the corner. So you’re, you’re you’re gonna wait, you’re gonna get through it, but you’re not. Let’s see what this shakes out to be.
SuChin Pak 22:08
Yeah. yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:09
And when, like, horrible stuff happens. It’s like kind of get back up, you know, gotta move forward. And especially with trying to, you know, get Eme like, there’s just like, so much like, holding my breath, clenching my butthole you know, with Kulap. It’s gonna be all holes are are up for grabs. So this is one host.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:30
Su rre you trying to launch merch right now? Are you pitching t shirt ideas?
SuChin Pak 22:30
Another another hole. I’m the tether hole and she’s nether hole.
SuChin Pak 22:42
This is all my brain has only been around. Fucking merch. Again me out of this merch hole. I don’t even know how I got in there. I don’t even like it here. It’s just I can’t stop. You’re right. Okay. Focus. Talk like a normal human. What’s wrong with me?
Kulap Vilaysack 22:57
Oh, well, that’s not what this podcast is about.
SuChin Pak 23:00
Yeah, yeah. Sorry. You’re joining us for the first time again. Apologies but welcome. Go on.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:06
Welcome. Now, I’m really seeing how everyone has changed. No, all of you like Kulap. Are you fucking serious?
SuChin Pak 23:18
But when you’ve been holding your breath and even like.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:20
Yeah.
SuChin Pak 23:21
With like, the surrogacy is like, yeah, hoping for the best. Things happen. Things happen.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:29
Of course. And now Now it’s like I’m so ripped like the Su, the way that you said like a four months when he now I’m having like, it’s the best time right now.
SuChin Pak 23:41
Because yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:42
It was good before .
SuChin Pak 23:44
Settle into it. Oh, yeah. But now.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:46
But now there’s the full recognition from her.
SuChin Pak 23:50
Yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:50
There’s these like, it’s the laughter It’s the it’s the smiles. It’s the the way that alphas are crying the way she looks at me. SuChin.
SuChin Pak 23:59
Oh, yeah. No.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:01
Like.
SuChin Pak 24:02
I know, don’t get me to cry and.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:04
To be taken in such a way. It’s like, oh, it’s a little scary. It’s filled with love. But it’s like, the way that I feel about her and like the bond that we have is just like I am I am I am quite rocked, I’m quite rocked, and the stakes, the stakes are so high. And it’s totally different for 42 years. I just mean, in many ways, I was just fucking around, you know, like, I just my time was kind of like I had the, I guess the luxury of just like, you know, one hand being an idiot, but also like, just being really indulgent to my fears and whims and you know, like, I don’t know like not putting them into action in a way where she, she comes in and is this massive catalyst to like You know, like, Oh, time is limited. The time was limited. Focus up here. Hey, look over here, look over here. And like, how, how do I do right by her? How do I do right by Scott? And how do I do right by me?
SuChin Pak 25:17
Oh.
Kulap Vilaysack 25:18
And and, the other day I saw a fatigue in Scott that really I think until, like these couple of weeks. It was like shared fatigue, but I saw fatigue in Scott that I was like, Oh, I don’t have the same fatigue as him. And this like, lovely arrangement that I guess pretty much benefited me, which was him waking up in the morning to get her. And my thought process is like, You’re up already, man. I’m I’m a night owl. I’m a night owl. You’re up. You don’t sleep very well. You know, so yeah, it makes sense. You you get her in the morning. But I started to see, like him being tired. And I was like, Oh, guess what Kulap, you little bitch. You’re a mom. You’ve been a mom for four months. You start waking up early. Okay, you know what, what else? Ku. Can you start sleeping earlier? And you know what else? Ku? Pull back on the drinking. What? So that you could go to bed earlier? And you can wake up, earlier as well. And everyone you guys are like, who’ve had kids who are doing it? Like you’re like duh Kulap. You know, duh. But I was realizing like, oh, okay, like, let’s let’s, you know.
SuChin Pak 26:45
Dress rehearsal. It’s actually happening now. There’s a baby. We’re here. We’re doing. Now I can shift my focus into mom mode.
Kulap Vilaysack 26:57
Yeah, like, Guess what, Su? Day one. I’m a morning person. You’re seeing me day one. I’m fine. I got up at 6:30 I got up at six. I’m fine.
SuChin Pak 27:06
Wow. 6:30. Okay, all right. I just just, you know, be mindful.
Kulap Vilaysack 27:12
Well, I said, I said, Scott, we’re doing every other. Yeah. Scott, we’re doing every other. We’re weaning ourselves off of the Night Nurse. So I’m gonna be like, really.
SuChin Pak 27:24
Taking the training wheels off?
Kulap Vilaysack 27:25
Yeah, we’re starting to slowly take the training wheels off.
SuChin Pak 27:28
Yeah. Yeah. It’s like this ever evolving continuing realization of who you are, who you were, who you’re gonna be. And it’s, it’s beautiful. And whether you choose to have kids or not have kids like, getting older. I mean, that’s, that to me. There aren’t a lot of great parts about it. But the only great part is, is that you start to realize like, Oh, this is the ebb and flow. Right? of like, milestones and changes in your life. And you reinvent yourself, whether you want to be reinvented or not, I think just life and circumstance. Everything is always, everything is always changing and moving. And, and a lot of people understand that, like, when you’ve had trauma in your life, processing these things, is on a different time schedule.
Kulap Vilaysack 28:24
I mean, and part of it, Su, is like like, really clocking his fatigue and going oh, man, like Scott has been so amazing. so good.
SuChin Pak 28:35
So hands on.
Kulap Vilaysack 28:35
So hands on and there was a time, you know, I don’t know six years ago, where I wondered like, would he lean out? I think the changes in a shift that I make is because like, I really recognize how what a great partner he is. He’s a great dad, after you met Emerald. The other day, we went and had dinner with our two dear friends. And ahead of that dinner. I was like Scott, like we’re, you know, we’re putting her down now. And doing bathtime at 6:30 this dinner is at six. If you want me to cancel, I’ll just cancel. I’m just gonna cancel. And he was like, no, no, no. Are you never gonna go out again? Yeah. And so he did bath feeding and put her down by himself like it’s and probably got up the next morning at 630 100%. That’s what happened.
SuChin Pak 29:27
If you’re telling me today is day, one of morning, he definitely got up at 6:30 The next morning, and you definitely had just one cocktail.
Kulap Vilaysack 29:34
Yeah, I did.
Kulap Vilaysack 29:39
Okay, Su what let’s get back into your cart.
SuChin Pak 29:42
I got another Add to Queue. I’m on a roll.
SuChin Pak 29:51
I do have to say I reached my limit I had to add to queues. That’s a lot for me. But I stumbled on to this thing.
Kulap Vilaysack 30:00
What is it?
SuChin Pak 30:01
It’s a podcast. Oh, okay. The podcast is called Evaporated. And it was one of those podcasts where I had to parse out each episode because every episode ending I was like, No, that’s one less episode.

Oh my gosh, it’s true crime.
SuChin Pak 30:20
It checks off all of the boxes that I love. I love a true crime podcast that does not involve violence, does not involve children, does not involve like explicit graphic, like, details of gruesome murders, the I like a true crime podcast. That’s more of a mystery. I also love a true crime scam. You know what I mean? I’m I love a scam podcast. I have lots of those. But this one is really fun. So it’s about an investigative journalist in Japan, that starts to go down the hunt for his missing accountant. I mean, you had me you got me. And so it starts there. But when I tell you it’s a meandering of a culture, a legal system that probably most of us aren’t familiar with. It’s a little bit history. And it’s so delicious. There is a kind of like, wonder, in the podcast that I just love. And to me this tone. This kind of podcast is just my jam.

I am I’m looking for something. I want something like this. Thank you for this. This is we got we have 10 episodes.
SuChin Pak 31:35
Yes, 10 episodes. I just love it. And I do have to say, you know, being Korean American. I don’t know one thing about Korea. And so, I also get especially excited when there’s a podcast that tells a bit about the history of the region because Japan and Korea are so interlinked, and I don’t want to give anything away. And in this podcast, there’s an there’s a twist, and it gets really linked. And so to learn about that to just as like, you know, an immigrant transplant kid, you know about a history that you don’t know anything about, but that is your history. And so that part is really juicy in it, and his co host Shoko Plambeck who narrates a lot of it is it’s just lovely.
