SPEAKERS
Kulap Vilaysack, SuChin Pak
Kulap Vilaysack 00:10
Oh, my goodness. Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us. It is our anniversary episode. We are one year old. So happy birthday to us. I’m Kulap Vilaysack.
SuChin Pak
And I’m SuChin Pak. And this is ADD TO CART. It’s a show about the things we buy and buy into. We’ve been doing this for one year now. Who knew?
Kulap Vilaysack
Who knew? Who knew how we get to this point. One year ago, we launched our first epi and my my, my, my, my, the show has been a lifesaver. It has. I think so because when we started it, Su if you can take yourself back to Nov 2020. Those were dark days.
SuChin Pak
Still dark, but go on, less dark, less dark.
Kulap Vilaysack
I mean, I think at this time I want to say we were so afraid to go outside.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, there’s a lot of weeping. I should say the first eight months of this show is just spontaneous weeping.
Kulap Vilaysack
It really has been a lifesaver because I was feeling very alone creatively. Just I felt no creativity. And to have something to do as even a discipline to show up once a week has really done wonders for me and look, this isn’t news to anybody. Certainly not on Zoom calls but we’ve been nominated multiple times and we’ve won. We’ve been put on panels, we’ve been asked to judge I learned Canva, Su learned Reels. The growth
SuChin Pak 02:26
I did that igTV thing. First of all, that is the true lighting in my house. It’s always kept at a what I would like to call a cave like setting on your light dimmer and that is the ambient glow of my home. There is not a harsh light in this house for many reasons. And I man that igTV thing looks so sad, I look like trapped in an old man’s cave.
Kulap Vilaysack
Maybe the Red-Light District
SuChin Pak
High Tech here guys. You know I thought to myself, man, am I going to become a production company? At the speed in which I’m producing.
Kulap Vilaysack
For us to be a little punchy because, for our anniversary episode. We’re gonna go through our add to carts for the show for the next year.
SuChin Pak
I’m like really for the entire year?
Kulap Vilaysack
Like broad strokes Su, we’re not like doing a meeting with Claire.
SuChin Pak
Like I do need more sheets. Okay, add to cart, sheets. And then I’ll be no yes, you’re right. Okay.
Kulap Vilaysack
We’re gonna circle back to your sleeping situation. I want everyone to know that I am on it, guys. Don’t worry about it. Go ahead.
SuChin Pak 04:07
Wait before we get to my sleeping situation. And before we get to what we hope for this show in 2022, how are you headaches.
Kulap Vilaysack
Oh, my headaches. Okay, so much better as one would expect of taking three […] every 12 hours. But I still have at this still like a residual. It’s not as bad I’ve been able to sleep through the night, which is a huge improvement. You suggested Russell from Poke acupuncture. I have an appointment with him next week. And I’m going to do like some heavy-duty massage from a fella named Matt who Paul Scheer mentioned in his episode also, Casey Wilson recommends them highly.
SuChin Pak
Ooh, I need that recommendation. Yeah, Russell from Poke Game Changer guys. I know it’s only in LA, but game changer.
Kulap Vilaysack
and Russell from Poke also met McConkey dear friend who I mentioned all the time. Loves him, Michael Grassi, longtime listener of the show. So he is highly, highly recommended by all, we are trying to take care of Ku.
SuChin Pak
Maybe you need one of these. What is that?
Kulap Vilaysack
Let me tell you what I see, I see a crystal wand and that crystal wand is selenite and talk about what one year will do. What are you doing Su what is happening? You believe in crystals? Your action right now and you grasping this huge, gorgeous unicorn.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, of course. I believe in fucking crystals. Look at this beauty. I have a unicorn horn made out of Selenite. Yeah. And it was recommended to me by my energy healer. which I’ve my energy healer.
Kulap Vilaysack 06:12
Okay, let’s stop everything. anyone’s doing whoever’s listening. Just sit down. Su, go ahead. No one breathe in case she changes her mind or she?
SuChin Pak
While you talk, I’m clearing my head with this selenite. Maybe this is the reason why I am waking up with stupid amounts of energy. Maybe and putting on makeup for no, no good reason at all. Just to sweat it off.
Kulap Vilaysack
Sorry to interrupt curious. Are you still doing French sleeping aids?
SuChin Pak
No. And I’m also not sleeping, but waking up with crazy energy. Well, I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know what’s happening guys. Could be the crystals. It could be the residuals of a very aggressive French sleeping pill regimen that I was on. And now I’m detoxing from and here I am before you just loving life. And then at two o’clock weeping with sadness. I mean, just every good feeling drained from my body. Just in time for the kids to come home.
Kulap Vilaysack
Su, are you okay?
SuChin Pak
I don’t know. I’m telling you. I’m on day two. So let’s not go overboard. When I’m on day like 28. You know what I mean? Like, I like to live in 28-day cycles, then let’s start investigating. But yes, I started seeing, well, I actually don’t know what her official title is. I mean, she’s an energy healer. She does body work. And of course, recommended by my husband, Mike Bender who is a believer in all healing modalities and has been going to this woman and I have seen such a big difference in him.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:12
I mean, I’m happy to hear that. You know, like, I’m so happy to hear that Mike’s been feeling great. This has been working.
SuChin Pak
So yeah, and so I was like, I’m going to try out this lady and I have to tell you, I’ve been about I don’t know about a month into it. And something’s happening.
Kulap Vilaysack
Oh, ah, this feels so good. You guys, we can just end the show right now because I just feel so good.
SuChin Pak
Refer back to Episode, wait, Claire. Producer Claire had said go back to the fifth episode. Where Ku and I get into a mild fisticuff.
Kulap Vilaysack
Mild, and also no guys, we did some editing.
SuChin Pak
We did some major editing. That was our first and only on air fisticuff it was tense. We wrote it out and then came out on the other side just still tense, but together. No, we loosened, we for sure loosen. But anyway, go back to that episode, where I poopoo on crystals and here we are a year later. As I clear the energy with my unicorn horn aka my selenite crystal.
Kulap Vilaysack
You know, I love to hear it. I want to highlight the people that make this possible which is you our sweet sweet listeners our Add to Carter’s so we’re gonna play some voicemails, finally, it’s been too long.
SuChin Pak
I know. And we’re gonna finally also announce the winners of our Anniversary Giveaway. My goodness.
Kulap Vilaysack
Su, you put your heart and soul into this.
SuChin Pak 10:01
I think we both put our hearts and soul into this. You are the one that sent me this mega giant add to cart stamp, which I have been stamping away tissue papers, boxes, cards, you’re going to get this box winner and your BFF. And it’s gonna be overdone. And you’re going to be a little shocked about how many stamps are on it. Don’t care.
Kulap Vilaysack
Look, we’re extra. I hope you that is clear. If you walk away with anything about Su and Ku is that were a little too much.
SuChin Pak
That’s right. It’s a flavor not everyone can handle and probably shouldn’t. Very strong flavor.
Kulap Vilaysack
Okay, we have lots to cover. So let’s get to it. We are back on Add to Cart. Let’s talk about the things that we want to add to cart for the show in year two, Su. And so I’ll start and we’ll go back and forth Sue, just so that we have just, you know, the inner play that we’re known for. Here we go.
SuChin Pak
We should be nominated for inner play. Is there an award out there for inner play? Because yeah, let’s get on that
Kulap Vilaysack
So many people talk about foreplay, right? But for us it’s inner play. Su, I want to do live show, Su, you know we haven’t been able to do it because of the pandemic and I want to also travel I want to get away from Scott, just kidding. I love him.
SuChin Pak
You can love him and want to get away from him by the way that’s perfectly acceptable.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:01
I more so I was being funny but more so I just travel more, Su.
SuChin Pak
You and I obviously have the same add to cart on this one because it was my only add to cart that I could come up with that felt real and genuine. We would like to add to cart for 2022 perhaps a live gathering perhaps at a resort like setting, perhaps giving away free things to all who attend, right? That’s it.
Kulap Vilaysack
We want to take, receive the baton from Oprah Winfrey, if life’s a relay race and Oprah hands us that baton and SuChin knows Oprah, she was on the show. Oprah hands us the baton and then we can say, you know, look under your seat.
SuChin Pak
You’re gonna drive away in this and you’re gonna put that on your head.
Kulap Vilaysack
Like that’s our dream.
SuChin Pak
I know. My joy and this giveaway, Anniversary Giveaway Box, has sparked this joy, the joy of giving things I love to anyone but especially the people that mean something to us overrides any fear that I have of human contact.
Kulap Vilaysack
I mean, we’re just two little hot Santa’s. Is that fair to say? Su, would you agree? Too sexy Santa’s.
SuChin Pak
Let’s give more stuff away and maybe we’ll do a live show. We’ll see. We’ll see how the world is shaping up.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yes, of course, safety first. I wrote I want to build out our world more. And so what does that mean? You know, maybe Claire will have fear about this. But I like to have more if I dare say characters in our universe, right? So we have Majandra, right? We go back to Mahindra we refer to people like Caissie St. Onge who brought us glass teeth’s and in just quick brief updates that you don’t mean just like really integrating more people into the show, more people in our stable, you know, sometimes you know, maybe we hear from Ivan, our fantastic and trusty editor who has really had to sit through so much time with us.
SuChin Pak 14:42
Unwanted and unasked time with us.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yeah, that’s right. And you know, just to hear from him, you know, I want to just kind of like expand our world a little bit. Our Add to Cart world.
SuChin Pak
I love it. I love it. Let’s bring more friends on. Wait, you have a remove from cart, I have a removed from cart, too.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yeah, yes.
SuChin Pak
What’s your remove from cart?
Kulap Vilaysack
Look as the social media load is unsustainable. I can’t.
SuChin Pak
She says that every meeting we have. And inside I say sure is, on the outside, I think we can do it. Cuz I know that it’s completely, I know what are we going to do?
Kulap Vilaysack
You me and Claire just gonna have to like pare down to the essentials. And my niece Dana, you guys saw the photo, she did a Zoom with us. That’s where we talked about Reels where she kind of told us like, hey, these are the things you could do to increase followers, engage with your listeners, and we tried that. I can’t, it’s too exhausting. I don’t want to be on Canva this much. We got to figure out a way that like it’s gotta be pleasurable doing this.
SuChin Pak
One of the ways I think it could be more pleasurable, because boy, this has been a learning curve, steep learning curve for all of us, is I was thinking, maybe we asked the audience what they want to see more of. You know? Because we’re, we’re just churning up ideas here. And then think about whether we want to do them anyway. I want specificity. If you give me a task, I will do it to a C minus any task in the world. But I need the task. The starter if you will. It’s the I need the sourdough yeast. You know, I need that bubbly, stinking juice from you guys to bake that bread.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:47
Well, for being honest. I am so big about personal responsibility. And I will own up that it is my A plus attitude. That has created a lot of work for myself. And I’m gonna own up to that. And I understand that. I hear that I know that about me. And I want to get closer to Su. It’s not me to go past a B. Can’t do It. Can’t Su. I shan’t.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, that A plus attitude ain’t gonna get you very far, Ku. I know. It’s tough. It’s tough.
Kulap Vilaysack
What do you want to remove from cart from the show?
SuChin Pak
I think you see it right there.
Kulap Vilaysack
But I want you to say it.
SuChin Pak
When Claire asked, okay, give me your removed from cards. I said number one, I only have one thing. Now, I realized as I’m saying this now I’ve got myself into a bit of a jam here. Because what I want to remove from cart is me talking and complaining about my pain. But now I’m talking about it.
Kulap Vilaysack 18:00
Yeah, yeah. It’s like, yeah, it’s like you’re chasing your own tail a little bit. So you gotta say it. You gotta say it though. You gotta put it in the space.
SuChin Pak
You guys. You have to help me. You have to all support me because you guys are part of the problem. And I mean that, you guys encouraged me. You asked me about my peeing. You guys are DMing me videos about peeing pee pads. Panties. Oh, yeah, you all make it too comfortable for me to talk about my urine. I don’t want to do that anymore so much. A little yes.
SuChin Pak
You’re allowing a little because there have been people who are finally seen by you, normalizing.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, well, that was season one. Okay, year one. Why don’t you go back catalogue it. You’ve got 52 weeks of me talking about my urine, 2022, I can’t, I cannot talk about I won’t even say it. The pee pad. I won’t say the name anymore.
Kulap Vilaysack
If though, can I just throw if, if now poise pad has been unresponsive to all of our inquiries.
SuChin Pak
That’s right. Which is why I refuse, but I’m still using them because there is no other that can compare.
Kulap Vilaysack
She just lifted her glass of water and toasted it to the air.
SuChin Pak
God, I would don’t know what my life would be like without it. But yeah, they’re not sponsoring.
Kulap Vilaysack
Okay. But if it came around, and it became Add to Cart, a poise pad production. Would you change, would you cross a bridge when it get there? I’m just being hypothetical. Cross that pad when we get there. But, you know, what’s your instinct on that?
SuChin Pak
Well, then, I need to be able to give away large packages of poise pads.
Kulap Vilaysack
Okay. I like it. I like that.
SuChin Pak 20:02
That’s how I’m going to remedy that.
Kulap Vilaysack
The great thing about that is you don’t have to worry about injury as much, so I would be able to whip just packages of poise pads at people’s heads with probably no repercussions.
SuChin Pak
That’s right. Soft and airy yet fully absorbent, anyway okay, can we just not talk about my pee anymore?
Kulap Vilaysack
Okay, I’m not gonna bring it up but if you bring it up you know me I’ve sometimes I need to clarify your story sometimes. I want to know more, I will do my best not to launch into it but if it’s laid out there, if you set a table for me, I’m gonna eat.
SuChin Pak
Should we get to some listener voicemail?
Kulap Vilaysack
Yes, by the way that was an Add to cart that I want to do more voicemails. We ask our listeners every week to do it. And I really want to I don’t know if it’s, we do at least one per episode. I just want more; more voicemails so let’s get into our voicemails.
Caller 1
Hi Kulap and SuChin, longtime listener, first time caller. My add to cart is the sour cap. That’s […] Our cap. It is a luxurious shower cap retails for $43. It is worth every penny. I tell anyone who lifted changes your life I have stick curly hair, they have no interest in washing every day. I’m like a woman from the 1950s I have to cancel my plans to wash my hair as a whole to do and this has been such a game changer in being able to maintain a style and just feel absolutely held my head. […] styles are absolutely gorgeous. And yeah, I cannot recommend it enough even though I can’t spell it.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:09
First of all I want to be held on my head. Let me look this up. I gotta look this up.
SuChin Pak
Oh, there’s oh my gosh, this is so you. They’re gorgeous. You guys, they look more like fashion turbans. Then shower caps. Oh, I see because and they’re not made out of traditional shower caps are made out of plastic but plastic traps in heat and humidity which is kind of you know, the whole point of not washing your hair is because we don’t want it to be frizzy.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yes. Okay, I love these. Now, I believe that I have one already. I’m not positive if it’s the same brand.
SuChin Pak
Shower cap. You guys this is gonna add to cart.
Kulap Vilaysack
And I think a good holiday gift if I dare say for I think men and women. How about that?
SuChin Pak
Absolutely. Let’s get our team to get a code. Our team hates us, we slack our poor CeCe. When I see team it’s a new mother. Like we are working that lady to the bone.
Kulap Vilaysack
This is how it goes. Su and I are just fucking around on Instagram and like an ad comes up. We’re like, oh yeah, I want this neck wand. Do you think CeCe could get us neck want?
SuChin Pak
Go to Slack. Hey, CeCe, can you get us a neck wand and a code, bye. I mean a smile every time. She’s got basically newborn at home and us just bombarding her phone with all the free things that we want and the discount codes. I’m sorry, CeCe maybe we should get CeCe a shower cap.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:03
Yeah, I’m not sorry, CeCe, but thank you.
SuChin Pak
All right. Well, thank you for that recommendation. We didn’t get your name but we love this shower cap.
Kulap Vilaysack
Let’s hear for Michelle.
Michelle
Hello, SuChin and hello Kulap. My name is Michelle. I am a Korean adoptee and it’s really great. And it means a lot to me to have two Auntie’s that can kind of light the way for me to navigate what it’s like to be in America without any Asian ladies to help me out. I was hoping that you would maybe be interested in doing an episode on some sort of like wax product or hair removal product. I don’t like shaving and I’ve got kind of a mix of weird Asian hair but not like the hairless kind of Asian. And so I was wondering if you guys have any products to recommend. That would be like a nice at home something for like smoother legs, and smoother pubic area and armpits. I have found through listening to your show all of the things that you recommend I need in my life. I’m so happy to hear all of your recommendations about anything. If it comes up hair removal, I am 100% in for it. So thank you again for your podcast and everything that you guys do, especially for the Asian American audience that’s out there. And super meaningful to me, because I don’t have very many people in my circle that can give me that perspective. And white supremacy is a real thing. So I’m so grateful. Thank you so much. And I will continue to listen every week. Thanks. Bye.
Kulap Vilaysack
Oh my gosh, I love that guarantee. Michelle, I love you.
SuChin Pak
Thank you for all that love Michelle.
Kulap Vilaysack 26:00
No, Su, I have a product. We’ve heard your waxing tale Su, but when he went to Greece.
SuChin Pak
And I haven’t shaved my legs probably in six years.
Kulap Vilaysack
Now, nobody wants this overshare but here it comes. I am half hairless, half not. So I don’t. I don’t have a lot of hair on my arms, on my legs. Even if it comes, it’s soft. It’s downy. Now where I do run wild like weeds. What Michelle described. Pubic area, we’re talking pits. We’re talking vagene crotch area. It’s hardy hair. Its fields.
SuChin Pak
Got it.
Kulap Vilaysack
I was waiting for you to tell me when if it was clear. You know, I tend to be so subtle that I worry that things get lost
SuChin Pak
That things get lost in there. Yeah, we got it. Thank you.
Kulap Vilaysack
Okay, copy that. So, for armpit hair, and I think you can use this on your legs as well. I’ve been using this Braun Epilator Silk-Epil Hair Removal. For women wet and dry. It’s a shaver, and trimmer. It’s cordless. It’s rechargeable. But I mean, I mainly use it for my armpits. I wax my armpits when it coordinates with needing to wax my pubes for whatever activity that I need to be waxed for. Please see the episode where I talked about how I was waxxed and vaxxed. But my pube hair, they be growing. And so this is great to have an adjust. I know it’s a gentle yanking, a gentle yanking, and then it’s smooth. It’s as if you waxed.
SuChin Pak
Now, this isn’t maybe related to waxing, but sort of related to hair removal, which I know nothing about, but I know a little bit about, and I’m wondering if prepping the skin is part of, you know, a waxing and making sure because for me if I don’t prep my armpit for a good shave, then it turns into a mess. I use just the good old Korean Exfoliating Mitts. And they’re really thin. It’s very different than other kinds of exfoliating myths. But I come back to this again and again. They’re the perfect sort of like coarseness, to really exfoliate your skin. And so that’s all. That’s my two cents.
Kulap Vilaysack 28:48
Su, let’s throw in something else, our friends at ORG you take two little spritz spritz.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, the ORG mineral peel. And that’s right you little spritz spritz. You don’t need anything and then you just kind of wipe it away and it takes away very gently exfoliates your skin.
Kulap Vilaysack
And then you know, razor or I would invest in. So this this epilator that I was telling you about it is $89-90 bucks. It’ll last for a long time. Like I’ve been doing this for probably a decade.
SuChin Pak
And do you use it on your lady bits as well? Just on the side?
Kulap Vilaysack
No, no, I don’t do it on my lady bits. I you know, I had a I was one of those people who stayed up late watched […] infomercial was sold on that it was edible and purchased it and do you remember […] it was this green, Australian edible sort of wax that would harden and you could rip off and I did that on the sides on my bikini line. And it looked like I had just I don’t know no like repeatedly punched my vagina over and over there was such bruising so I just professionally wax if I go there and when I professionally wax you guys I’m just doing here we go I’m doing a Brazilian but I am keeping a Dorito a large Dorito sort of at the very top because I’m a woman and I don’t want to be, that is my choice, my body, my choice. You okay, Su?
SuChin Pak 30:32
Alright, well, that’s a visual the last few to the end of the year.
Kulap Vilaysack
I want to be clear, Su. Did you understand the Dorito’s pointing down, I want to be clear that the angle of the pie is going down and it was weirdly going up you know, like a weird Mohawk. Was that clear?
SuChin Pak
Now it is. Now I have to reimagine that.
Kulap Vilaysack
Great. I love that. All right, clear. Let’s hear from Claire. But it’s not you Claire.
Claire
Hi Kulap and SuChin, my name is Claire, my pronouns are she/her. I literally had to jump out of my relaxing soothing candle shower to call you after listening to the most recent episode with Casey Rose Wilson, about Christmas decoration I’ve literally never felt so heard and seen by a podcast and my entire life as a not only a November 1st Christmas person, but also as a midnight on Halloween person at midnight. The calendar switches over November 1. I start listening to Christmas music in that minute and I let it load me to sleep. But what I wanted to say was I responded so much to like Casey asked Kulap about what do you like better? The anticipation or Christmas day itself? I think all of us early Christmas people. I think we should admit to ourselves that there’s a part of us that like the anticipation more than the day itself. And I think that’s okay. Christmas is more than a day. A holiday season is just that. It’s a season and it’s about togetherness and about warmth and it’s about sharing, and it’s about lights, light in our heart and light on the trees no matter how many trees you have. Thank you so much for the show. I love it and I can’t wait to listen every single week. That’s all, bye.
Kulap Vilaysack 32:28
Claire preach on Claire. Yes, you put it so..
SuChin Pak
Wow. It’s not a day it’s a season, Claire.
Kulap Vilaysack
It’s not a day it’s a season, Claire you’ve given me space to be honest with myself and you my friends which is yeah, it is the it’s the buildup because I’m the day of it’s like you know that’s showtime, you know?
SuChin Pak
And do you ever find that you know as a lot of things in life when you anticipate and you love the anticipation of the day comes and slight depression. Just a blueness around it. Sometimes I feel that way.
Kulap Vilaysack
I mean I think there’s a comedown, you know, I do it. I really do enjoy the journey. Speaking of a journey Su, have you said anything about my background yet.
SuChin Pak
You guys she’s back. She’s back with a vengeance. It is decorated. The partridges are in the pear tree. The maids are milkin? The geese they laid, golden eggs
Kulap Vilaysack
Two trees up my staircase, Garland.
SuChin Pak
Do you have the giant oversights extra-large ornaments askew at the base of your staircase?
Kulap Vilaysack
Correct. Ding. Ding.
SuChin Pak
Do you have the cluster of brass partridge birds in some sort of a living room space?
Kulap Vilaysack 34:05
On top of the mantel. Thank you. So many pine cones glam and natural pine cones. So many woodland creatures so many deer, so many owl. So many birds.
SuChin Pak
And Scott’s okay with this?
Kulap Vilaysack
I have never asked.
SuChin Pak
that’s a beautiful marriage. I am interrogated like a Navy SEAL at the entrance to my door anytime I come in and it doesn’t even matter if I am holding anything. Where you been what you do and what you got. There’s something there. What’s that smell? What are you wearing? Where did you go? How long? Who did you see? What did you eat? Why do you look like that? Did you take off your shoes?
SuChin Pak
He doesn’t look down? No, that’s the thing.
Kulap Vilaysack
It’s all eye contact. Okay, got it.
SuChin Pak
It’s full eye contact. Minimum two minutes. It’s straight interrogation. Anyway, that’s me,
Kulap Vilaysack
Scott and I what Phoebe Robinson described last week. We do a lot of parallel play.
SuChin Pak
He’s a good parallel player. I’ve noticed that. Because we’ll be doing our thing. Your house is big enough for he could be somewhere else if you want it to be. But no, he wants to be in the chatter but not of the chatter.
Kulap Vilaysack
That’s right. That’s the Scott Aukerman way.
SuChin Pak
So cute. Yeah, he’s such a grump stir but he’s such a teddy.
Kulap Vilaysack
He is. I have to sit and then I go, I want to kiss now. And then I get my kiss. And then I go give me a hug. Why are you pulling away? Where do you need to go? Why are you mad that I keep touching your butt. Okay, I guess you can go downstairs. And that is our marriage.
SuChin Pak
Wow. Night and day, guys. different ends of the unicorn horn right here.
Kulap Vilaysack 36:06
That’s it. That’s right. Okay, so we have one more voicemail and this time it’s from Justice.
Justice
Hi there. My name is Justus pronouns are she/her. And I’m so excited to be calling in today. I’ve been waiting for this moment for months and months ever since I purchased my Dr. Tung’s ionic toothbrush. I’ve been using it consistently for about six months. And I just had my first dental appointment, which I have been eagerly awaiting so that I could then call you and share the results of the toothbrushes’ performance. The jury then the toothbrush works. My dental hygienist has told me that I had almost no biofilm on my teeth, which is apparently the precursor to plaque. I’ve just been dying to share this with you because I feel like there’s been a lot of question marks around whether or not the toothbrush works or not. Some people feel the glass teeth some people don’t feel the glass teeth. I don’t understand that. I definitely feel the glass teeth, anyways, that’s the data driven results that I hope we’ve all been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing the toothbrush. I care about dental hygiene so much. I have also been facing dental changes as I ate. So thank you so much for sharing and that’s all.

That’s all I mean, what a boots on the ground.
SuChin Pak
You did what neither one of us promised we would do, which is you mostly me, ask a dentist. She got it. She got the result that we were looking for.
Kulap Vilaysack
And they always say every product you got to do for six months right?
SuChin Pak

Kulap Vilaysack
What do you say first?
SuChin Pak
And because I’m like, wait, it’s our first. Can it be an annual if we’ve only had one? I don’t know.
Kulap Vilaysack
But that means it’s a promise. It’s a promise. It’s a promise, Su. This is the issue. I didn’t agree to this.
SuChin Pak 40:02
I’m not sure. I know what annual means that this is not what we agreed to. Listen, we don’t know if it’s annual, but we do know it’s our first and boy, boy did we put our heart and soul into this guy. Okay?
Kulap Vilaysack
Like, we love. We are such Auntie’s this conflict, of wanting to do it, while complaining about it.
SuChin Pak
And wanting all the accolades, by the way. You don’t mean like, complaining in public? Not even silently, you know, dignified. To anyone who listen.
Kulap Vilaysack
I just realized something and it’s hit me like a ton of bricks. We have evolved from Asian aunties to Asian daddies SuChin and I are walking around town, leaning a little forward with our hands held behind our back wearing bucket hats.
SuChin Pak

Kulap Vilaysack 42:03
When Caitlin entered Emily into the contest. She said, Emily is the Ku to my Su because we are so different, but also so alike. Emily and Caitlin, thank you so much for listening to the show for entering the contest, and for celebrating our birthday with us. Congratulations.
SuChin Pak
Congratulations. Thank you so much. To everyone who participated in our Anniversary Giveaway. We read every comment and just chuckled and screenshotted I just there were three that, three of the many that I just kind of picked that I thought were wonderful. Sarah, Katherine King, tagged, at Brit hit and said because I literally couldn’t survive without her, she helps justify all of my manic add to carts and listens when I’m complaining about removing people from my cart. And so straight into Asian daddy, they’re, you know what I mean, straight into you got that metal girl. Another one from Steve, AUSE at Kate sausage. It’s cool when the family you’re born into is also the family you choose. My little sister is the Su to my Ku. That brought a little a little tear to my cold cold heart. CMT, laying at Alexandria pros and I are probably equal parts Ku and Su, but I know she’s really my soul sister because we can talk for hours about the joys of poise pads. Now I know I said I wasn’t going to mention poise pads, but this isn’t technically me. This is about someone else’s pee.
Kulap Vilaysack
You’ve removed from cart your urine. But you’ve added to cart talking about other people’s urine.
SuChin Pak
I want to talk about other people’s urine 2022. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in our anniversary celebration and giveaway, you guys. It’s just been so fun to read all of the comments and the friendship quotes. It’s so great. Congratulations to our very lucky winners.
Kulap Vilaysack 44:24

Kulap Vilaysack
We are really outsourcing a lot; you guys thank you.
SuChin Pak
Wait, wait, what’s the phrase, many hands. Many hands make light load something like that. Anyway, sounds slightly biblical, but here’s our voicemail number 833-453-6662. What are your add to carts for next year, we’d love to hear it
Kulap Vilaysack
