SPEAKERS
SuChin Pak, Kulap Vilaysack
Kulap Vilaysack 00:10
Carters welcome back to Add To Cart, I’m your auntie Kuku Vilaysack.
SuChin Pak 00:13
And I’m your other auntie SuChin Pak. Just I feel energy, I don’t know why. Before we’re even getting into this episode, I don’t know. I just feel like there’s just a lot of energy.
Kulap Vilaysack 00:25
Well, it could be that my eyes are staring at you and I’m like a positive Cyclops, I’m just like.
SuChin Pak 00:34
Yow, what is going on? What is your vision? How you don’t have glasses on? You don’t have contacts?
Kulap Vilaysack 00:40
Thank you so much for asking. Well, I do they’re implantable.
SuChin Pak 00:45
Oh.
Kulap Vilaysack 00:45
I have implants.
SuChin Pak 00:47
Oh, yeah, that’s right.
Kulap Vilaysack 00:48
I got an eye job.
SuChin Pak 00:49
You’re like a cyborg.
Kulap Vilaysack 00:51
I’m not, you know. And thank you for asking how my site is. My eyesight is 20-15.
SuChin Pak 00:58
Is that good?
Kulap Vilaysack 00:59
20-20 is perfect. 20-15 is better.
SuChin Pak 01:03
Wait.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:04
That’s right, I’m better. I’m bionic.
SuChin Pak 01:08
So you’re seeing things like, at like a hummingbird level.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:13
Okay, I’m not positive about that, but sure, yeah.
SuChin Pak 01:19
Like, bird’s eye vision.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:22
Probably, what I know is 2020, is perfect, and 20 videos is better.
SuChin Pak 01:28
Are you seeing so much that there’s a part of you that’s like, I wish I could take it down 12%
Kulap Vilaysack 01:34
No, this is the clearest I’ve ever seen.
SuChin Pak 01:36
And when I feel brand, when you open your eyes.
SuChin Pak 01:40
Yes, I wake up.
SuChin Pak 01:41
I Reach for my glasses like they’re there.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:43
They’re not there.
SuChin Pak 01:44
I know, but does that do you get a surge, a rush of like superhuman excitement that you can just bound out of bed after years of being.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:54
Virtually blind.
SuChin Pak 01:55
Virtually blind.
Kulap Vilaysack 01:57
No, I am. I’m new and improved, I am.
SuChin Pak 02:02
Ku at this point, 4.0.
Kulap Vilaysack 02:04
Who knows what my version is? Is just that I have reached another level. SuChin.
SuChin Pak 02:08
Wow.
Kulap Vilaysack 02:09
Reached another level.
SuChin Pak 02:10
Did you have that moment? You know, when we’ve seen those videos online where someone who suddenly can’t hear, you know, gets an implant, and then they hear sounds for the first time. And you see that reaction, cochlear implants, yes, tears streaming down my face as I see the wonders of technology and love merge together. Like, have you had that moment when you’re like, holy shit, I can see that.
Kulap Vilaysack 02:38
Similarly so I was at the end of my surgery, you know, this is like, it’s an incision in both of my eyes, and they shove, you know, a tiny, itty bitty lens, and then it froze between my iris, you know, and my lens. I don’t really understand eyes, and I’m so dilated and hazy from the mid, what they call it, Twilight Tran they gave me just the good stuff, just the good stuff at from Maloney shamey Vision Institute and Dr Hura at that point, for like, a day and a half, you don’t have any close up vision, and you don’t have, like, middle vision, but already I could tell that my far vision was better, even though I was light sensitive. But unfortunately, I couldn’t, I couldn’t see my phone. But then about Saturday night, when I could see the crisp text, I almost lost it. I almost cried just to be able to see my phone again, having been without it for almost, you know, good, 36 hours.
SuChin Pak 03:43
Wow, that moment when you when you were reunited.
Kulap Vilaysack 03:49
I was like,oh, my God. It was like a child who’s like, Mommy, that’s your face. But there was my phone. It was my reply.
SuChin Pak 03:56
Reply so.
Kulap Vilaysack 03:57
All my group texts. So many group texts.
SuChin Pak 04:00
All of it, the Christmas chats, the Halloween costume decisions.
Kulap Vilaysack 04:07
That was with Lauren Lapkus, thank you. You do know exactly what I’m about, and to have that pause for as long as I did to heal, that was difficult. But now, now SuChin Pak.
SuChin Pak 04:19
The loudness of your eyes matches the loudness of your voice.
Kulap Vilaysack 04:24
Yeah, personality. Now my eyes match my personality, and I can see through all your motherfuckers lies. I’m not saying you Su, I’m saying just the general public like that. I’m like.
SuChin Pak 04:35
Superior in you, yeah, 4.0.
Kulap Vilaysack 04:38
I’m 4.0.
SuChin Pak 04:39
Well, while you got your new vision, I just texted you, what is going on in my life. I want to say right up off the top, you may be hearing some construction noise, out of my window, because Ku 4.0.
Kulap Vilaysack 04:58
With my fresh eyes.
SuChin Pak 05:00
With Your fresh eyes, what do you see Su 4.0 what is that?
Kulap Vilaysack 05:05
I mean, your yard is completely cleared. It is a construction zone waiting for your she shed, I hope.
SuChin Pak 05:12
Thank you.
Kulap Vilaysack 05:14
Finally, we have broken ground. We have broken ground.
SuChin Pak 05:18
How long, has this […], been in the making ?
Kulap Vilaysack 05:22
Since you moved in to be free.
SuChin Pak 05:24
Yes. And let me tell you, the construction happening outside is unfortunate, but it will not be stopped. No, I love that cart, and I love everyone working on it, but not as much as the sewer pipe that’s going down unfortunately, at today’s taping.
Kulap Vilaysack 05:41
No, I can hear it. I can hear it, and I’m happy for you. So sorry you guys. No, we’ve got new tech. And so along with my vision, also my hearing capacity through this new tech has been improved as well. I mean, this is what it’s like to take the limitless pill. I think that’s what I’m living.
SuChin Pak 05:59
When you wake up and you can see tiny little texts about hero trees and old fashioned ornaments. And that gives you a surge in your bottom. I wake up to the sound of metal being constructed and dug and I just I get a little pep in my bep.
Kulap Vilaysack 06:21
Oh, yes, that classic colloquialism that all Americans say.
SuChin Pak 06:26
A pep in my bep, guess what? Don’t care. It just rolls right off of me like a mallard duck. That’s another phrase. Just rolls right off of me like a mallard duck because I’m getting my she shed.
Kulap Vilaysack 06:41
Rolls off of them, okay, yeah.
SuChin Pak 06:44
My she shed is going up, and I can’t wait to lock myself in there, anyway, let’s.
Kulap Vilaysack 06:53
Let’s get into it. Get into our bags. We’re also good at our bag.
SuChin Pak 06:57
I don’t know how we came up with this, and I don’t know what took us so damn long.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:01
I know. I think it was, I’m gonna, you know, I’m just gonna credit it to TIFF yeah.
SuChin Pak 07:05
It was TIFF. She was like, what’s in your bag? Again, this could be an episode that is only delightful to one.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:15
Sure it’s in the category of our dreams routines.
SuChin Pak 07:19
Right, when we did our first rain shower routine, and we said, who would want to hear this? So I’m a little bit there. I have to be honest.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:28
That’s why you’re gonna go last. I’ll go first, and then you’ll go last. And I promise you, it’s gonna be so revealing. And I am actually salivating, probably because there are food items in there that you’re gonna pull out, but I’m salivating, and we’re just gonna get me out of the way. You know what I mean?
SuChin Pak 07:48
Again, take your time.
Kulap Vilaysack 07:53
All right, let’s get into my bag first, my bag. Okay, here we go. Let’s pull it out. Let’s pull my bag out, gorgeous.
SuChin Pak 08:02
Oh, it’s smaller than I thought your everyday bag was going to be.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:07
Yeah, I look. I’m in a mode of downsizing. So if I’m carrying a bag, this is the size I want to be working with, instead of the large Gucci tote that I had prior.
SuChin Pak 08:17
Yeah, I’m into that size bag. It’s the perfect size. You don’t need more than that.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:22
And generally, I will size down more often than none. To my granny pack from Claire V and the reason is, is that I’m carrying a diaper bag probably. So it’s like, this is why I can’t.
SuChin Pak 08:39
Yeah, you can’t compete. So another, another person has superseded your needs, and that is what it means to be a parent anyway, sure.
Kulap Vilaysack 08:47
And another mom asked me one time because, but at the same time, I’m still Kuku , right? I’m still Auntie Ku, and one of my friends who’s a parent, was like, yeah, isn’t it so hard to do things for yourself? And I went, no, that’s no.
SuChin Pak 09:03
That’s not my experience, but I respect your experience.
Kulap Vilaysack 09:08
And you should definitely do things for you.
SuChin Pak 09:11
Okay, so describe the bag to everyone who is not watching this.
Kulap Vilaysack 09:16
Look, it’s a recognizable brand who does very gorgeous Italian, high end braided, it’s potato, okay? It’s the Andiamo, it’s the medium, the 32 centimeter. Okay, here we go. Let’s move past that. Move past that. We can move past the beautiful gold little clasp, and that how you can convert it to a tote, a shoulder, or across the body.
SuChin Pak 09:44
Or a crossbody. It’s three bags in one.
Kulap Vilaysack 09:46
That’s right. And so we’ll move past that, and we’ll go right into the wallet. I have a zipper wallet, okay? We have a nice little zipper wallet here, and I have the usual credit cards. Your, you know, ID.
SuChin Pak 10:01
To make wallet.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:02
It’s, yeah, it’s, you know, I’ve got my ID, member cards, insurance, triple A union cards, coins. Now, I wanted to point out there is a mystery pill in this coin purse is there is a mysterys.
SuChin Pak 10:16
Just take it right now. Why not? Oh, sometimes I do that because I’m like, you know what? This day isn’t interesting enough. Let me take this pill. Do it all the time.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:30
Okay.
SuChin Pak 10:30
I’m still alive.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:31
Let me see what time when I have baby. Can listeners? Can you tell me what it is? It’s a it’s small. There’s a one on one side, which I assume is like for one mg, right? And then the front says, you what do we think this is?
SuChin Pak 10:46
Yeah, just pill finder it, or pop it in your mouth and tell us how you feel.
Kulap Vilaysack 10:51
What’s a pill finder it? What do you mean pill finder it is that.
SuChin Pak 10:53
You don’t know Pill finder?
Kulap Vilaysack 10:55
No.
SuChin Pak 10:56
Get on your little computer, put down that wallet, just for a moment.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:00
Okay.
SuChin Pak 11:01
Open up pill finder.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:03
At www.drugs.com?
SuChin Pak 11:05
That you basically put whatever is on the pill, and you can fill in the color and shape. Those are optional. You search and it’ll tell you what pill it is.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:16
Oh, okay.
SuChin Pak 11:18
God, I use that thing no less than three times a day.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:22
I think it’s well betrayed.
SuChin Pak 11:24
There it is, and does that makes.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:26
That just saying, showing the closest matches for it.
SuChin Pak 11:31
Oh, is it […]?
Kulap Vilaysack 11:32
No, that’s not my […] is, nyway, let’s move on. This is fun, though. This is fun to know.
SuChin Pak 11:38
What you’ll explore this world of pill finder, there’s a bunch of sites that do it that catalog pills. Because let me tell you the method of putting pills in a, you know, jean pocket, which is my method, it can get confusing, and so sometimes you’re left with a pill.
Kulap Vilaysack 11:55
So this is a strategy. Look, Su already. Look, learn something.
SuChin Pak 12:00
Thank you.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:00
From the get go, from the jumpsuit, look. Thank you, thank you.
SuChin Pak 12:04
So you’ve got some sort of pill, and then you’ve got all that stuff.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:08
Okay, all that stuff. And then also, I don’t think I’ve talked about this, but I have. The brand is called TagVault. The product’s called the thinnest air tag holder. There’s a link there. So this is an airtake holder, and it can slide into where you would put any credit card. So I track my I track my wallet.
SuChin Pak 12:26
That is so smart.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:27
And my wallet is always in my bag, so I’m tracking my bag. And where does that come from? Well, one time I was at a birthday party, I have I told the story?
SuChin Pak 12:37
No.
Kulap Vilaysack 12:38
Okay, I was at a birthday party. And it was like a fancy party, because it was somebody’s, like, milestone birthday, Hollywood type, and they rented out, like the sunset tower, and I foolishly, sort of left my like clutch, kind of to the side as I was talking to somebody, and then it was gone. And I had clocked that there was kind of like two random ladies that didn’t seem part of the party. And I when it was gone, I looked for them, and I found them at the front about to leave, and I confronted them, and grabbed one of the woman’s bags and fished out my bag, and then lost my mind and screaming at them, while the I think Scott had told me back, and the security people did nothing, and by the time they had left and ran I looked at my bag, and they had already pulled out my phone so they had already separated the two, probably because, you know, tracking and all that stuff. And then I remember calming down, and then check black, going.
SuChin Pak 13:54
Are you okay? And this was before 20-15 vision, like, imagine what you’re going to be like now in […]
Kulap Vilaysack 14:03
Yeah, and I you’re gonna see everything. I think I will make the decision that I didn’t make at that time, which was to grab the bet their bags and empty it out onto the ground, because, come to find out, they had, like, gone through the whole party and, like, taken stuff. I just happened to, like, grow but I didn’t do that, but now?
SuChin Pak 14:21
I will, and now Ku.
Kulap Vilaysack 14:24
I’m gonna end up in jail, aren’t I?
SuChin Pak 14:26
4.0.
Kulap Vilaysack 14:28
Anyways, so that’s these are the things you know, when one lives in fear and hyper vigilance, one will find the thinnest air tag, of course, that is in my Amazon store okay, the.
SuChin Pak 14:41
Trauma shopping.
Kulap Vilaysack 14:44
Filling some sort of void, trying to solve a problem. Okay, so I also have just something I kept at a party, probably Casey’s, I’m gonna guess there was, like a tarot reader, and after the reading, I was given a card, a tarot card, and it’s called the chariot, and I just keep it. I just keep it in my wallet.
SuChin Pak 15:05
Just as like a totem, a totem.
Kulap Vilaysack 15:07
Speaking of totems, I also have a fake old $100 bill that I keep in my wallet to attract more money. Is this is the most Asian thing you’ve ever heard of.
SuChin Pak 15:18
I used to say that is the most Asian thing I have ever seen you do on this podcast. And boy, that’s saying a lot. I know that is next level Asian.
Kulap Vilaysack 15:28
It’s pretty major, and I have gifted it to like all like to like all your siblings. No, they’re all Asian because they don’t know. They don’t get it. They don’t appreciate anything. It’s weird. No, you know, I don’t even know if they think it’s weird. I’ve never brought it up to them.
SuChin Pak 15:44
You’re basically carrying a portable shrine.
Kulap Vilaysack 15:47
That’s it, SuCin, ding.
SuChin Pak 15:51
I mean, if you could, yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 15:53
If I could, I should, to be honest, I should be putting don’t know why. I don’t have any crystals. I have crystals everywhere. There’s no crystals in here. So just that’s something for me to think about and to go, hey, do better. Do better. Why don’t you have purse crystals Kulap, what’s stopping you?
SuChin Pak 16:25
Crystal, some sort of switchblade.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:29
Why don’t I have a switchblade? […]
SuChin Pak 16:34
Ku, settle down.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:37
God, okay, right.
SuChin Pak 16:38
You’re in the healing process. No, you cannot put a switch blade.
Kulap Vilaysack 16:42
Okay? So what I had, what I used to have before. So another thing I have in my keys. I paired my keys down because it was just like too much, oh no, because I was getting a flight. Because my dear friend Kevin Sesha, who I am going to be the best man for at his wedding, he always gives me some sort of blade for my birthday. I’ve gotten axes from him. I’ve gotten we’ve talked about the hatchet that’s under my bed is from him. You know these are and one of the first gifts he gave me is this brand is SOG, and it looks like a key, but you pull it down and it is a very sharp blade. Now, I have never been in trouble on an airplane or, like, you know, going through customs, or any of that. And I’ve multiple times, but then I just had this feeling like my time was up, but I think I’ll put it back […]
SuChin Pak 17:34
This is already quite revealing.
Kulap Vilaysack 17:38
But it’s more of the same, is it not?
SuChin Pak 17:42
That’s what our bags are. That’s what just extensions of our psyche. This is a bag. This is why bags are so important.
Kulap Vilaysack 17:51
Yes, and you know, the way it’s gonna surprise no one that this is like, kind of like a go bag, kind of, in a way, like, that’s how I’m looking at it, you know, attracting money, that’s right. And so obviously I have my phone, sure and then that’s a must. Let’s get into my pouch, my Tom Ben organizer cube. Okay, thank you to Tom Ben who gifted this to me. I use all your cubes. They’re of the highest quality. Thank you to Jason Mantzoukas’s cubes for telling us about Tom Ben. Let’s get into the bin. Let’s get into it. This is, course, a beautiful, fun yellow, so cheery, so sunny. There’s so many little things. Okay, so cough drops. I have a couple cough drops.
SuChin Pak 18:38
And are there a particular flavor, or just any coffee no one.
Kulap Vilaysack 18:41
This is just like halls, because I got big sack and, you know, I’m sure they expired years ago, but we’re still gonna work through them. It’s good to have them when you need them. You know, I have a beautiful voice, talking voice, and so we just want to be, you know, ready and lubricated and medicated at all times. Now, I have this Lucas Papaw ointment, and I use that for various just scrapes and falls, and I sometimes just use it as a moisturizer. It’s just, are you familiar with the stuff.
SuChin Pak 19:14
Of course.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:16
Classic.
SuChin Pak 19:17
Been around for ages.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:19
It’s just, it’s a good ointment that helps to relieve and cleanse. Now, Su, I have this glass nail file.
SuChin Pak 19:28
Oh, don’t do I can’t stand the sound of that. Oh, how can you rub your nail against that, don’t do it.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:35
You don’t like the sound of it?
SuChin Pak 19:37
I can’t it, can’t stand the sound of that on that glass.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:41
Oh, really, no, I’m not bothered by that. That doesn’t bother me at all. I’m fine with it. I’m fine with that. Speaking of nails, I have my OPI Pro Spa Nail and Cuticle oil to go.
SuChin Pak 19:54
My goodness, your nails are really getting a lot of love in that bag.
Kulap Vilaysack 19:58
Yeah, I mainly use that those two things on the plane have a Henry mask. Now I keep it, but Sue I hate to tell you, and covid numbers are surging, and hopefully we have a new vaccine ASAP. I think we do coming right away. I don’t wear it that often. I’m just gonna be honest with you, I’m.
SuChin Pak 20:05
Not even on planes?
Kulap Vilaysack 20:19
No, I didn’t.
SuChin Pak 20:21
You’re fine. You live to tell the tale.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:23
I did it, I’m reckless.
SuChin Pak 20:25
But I do have it in case I don’t feel safe. Um.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:28
But, you know, I dance with danger.
SuChin Pak 20:30
I just do I mean, this is a woman with a switchblade in her key fob.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:35
That’s right, yeah, that’s right. And then I have this touchland Glow mist.
SuChin Pak 20:40
Of course, the most expensive hand sanitizer. But gorgeous.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:45
Gorgeous but I didn’t pay for this. This was sent to us.
SuChin Pak 20:48
Still, you still have the am I went through that so fast.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:51
Because we have, we’ve been given so many stuff, and then, like.
SuChin Pak 20:54
I love that stuff.
Kulap Vilaysack 20:55
It’s good stuff.
SuChin Pak 20:56
I know, and you’re like, oh, it’s you don’t want to, but then you have to, because it just smells so good and it feels like you’re not putting alcohol on your bare skin.
Kulap Vilaysack 21:09
Yeah, it’s nice. Okay and then we have the Tacobo Viotone Sun Cream, SPF 50. This is a product that SuChin has shared with us now, what’s their deal Su, because now this one’s not available. The original one that you brought up, they stopped making it, and now this one is unavailable on Amazon. So I just want to know, is it bad? Is there something wrong, or it’s not so popular?
SuChin Pak 21:38
I think, it’s probably because it’s really popular, or they could be improving on it. But, no, it’s such a big brand, it’s not like a little itty bitty thing.
Kulap Vilaysack 21:49
Okay, well, that’s what I want to hear. There’s no funny business happening. I’m always worried about funny business. Okay, then I have some lip balm.
SuChin Pak 21:57
Oh, you have a lot of I have that lip balm. That’s the one who recommended that on the site. I mean, on the on our podcast.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:06
It was Esther Pavitz, she told us about this. And of course, you know, I buy one. You know, you don’t buy one. You buy three. Get that ready. Got and I had this prior to my surgery. These are the refresh lubricant eye drops.
SuChin Pak 22:21
God, you’re very lubricated.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:23
I need to be lubricated.
SuChin Pak 22:27
Just nothing dry on into your body.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:31
Nope, and then your favorite, of course, the hero clip.
SuChin Pak 22:35
Oh, God. Explain to everyone what this nerd alert.
Kulap Vilaysack 22:39
What this nerd alert is nerd alert. Our Saint Jason Mantzoukas is Zooks cubes. He told us about Tom Ben. He also told us about this hero clip. And I have been out and about and sent beautiful pictures of my bag being held up by this hero clip onto some other apparatus so that it doesn’t touch the floor. And Jason gives me such beautiful feedback. He’s so encouraging, and all SuChin can say is derisive and it’s insulting.
SuChin Pak 23:12
Let’s just say you can’t go to Paris with that hero clip.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:16
First of all, you speaking of what you can and cannot do in Paris is a laugh.
SuChin Pak 23:23
Oh, I can only speak of what you can’t do. I don’t know what you can do. I only follow what you cannot and should not do. Everything else is not on my list.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:33
But this is below, below, rat like behavior, ratatouille like behavior.
SuChin Pak 23:41
You’re such a sophisticate, such a lady. And then you’ve got this hiking, mountain climbing hook here.
Kulap Vilaysack 23:51
But then I also have weapons, you know what I mean. And the thing that’s missing here is that Kevin did recently gift me. I mean, this just past Christmas was some brass knuckles, and they’re shaped like a beautiful owl, so that’ll probably go in here too. So let’s add that later. But you know, it’s about moisturization. It’s about defense.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:06
Two types of defense. It’s all defense, a sunblock against dry weather and predators.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:17
Thank you.
SuChin Pak 24:18
And that is the full spectrum of being a lady, yeah, lip gloss and brass knuckles.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:26
That’s right.
SuChin Pak 24:26
Sit on that.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:27
The Kuku Vilaysack story, now I have in here a body wipe. Okay, this is hustle Queen’s body wipe.
Kulap Vilaysack 24:36
What is that?
Kulap Vilaysack 24:37
It’s just a large wipe to remove sweat, dirt and body order to clean and soothe. It kills 99.9% of germs. It contains aloe vera and witch hazel. I’ve never used this, but as we have established on Add to Cart, I am a jungle Asian, and while SuChin possesses no body order, I have in turn taken. All of it. I have waxy ears. She has dry ears. My armpits, they stank. They simply stank. And if my armpits stank, guess what? There are other places that do too. And so I need to have this just in case. We need to clean up. Okay, we need, might need to clean up. And you can sometimes there isn’t, there isn’t a public sink to do a horse bath in. Sometimes you need to have a body wipe. Now I can’t endorse this product. Was this given to me for free, but I have a plan for it. I do. And this is about prep. This is, this goes back to the theme that I started with, which is my bags go bag, and this is about disaster.
SuChin Pak 25:44
What a strange, strange journey we’re on.
Kulap Vilaysack 25:51
I don’t disagree, but what do you mean, but.
SuChin Pak 25:54
The thought of you wiping your Nethers and your tethers in some sort of public arena, because you’re not at home, right? So you’re out and about, and you’re just wiping yourself down. It just, I’m delighted.
Kulap Vilaysack 26:12
Okay, let me give you another scenario, which is probably more accurate. A month ago, I was taking Emmy to her dentist appointment, and she had eaten a lot of delicious banana, three ingredient, Instagram recipe, pancakes, banana, egg and oatmeal pancakes, and I had given her too much, and that is on me. She enjoyed it okay. And then we waited her dentist’s office, and then she proceeded to vomit all over me, all over my white shirt and see that’s when that would work. There you go, see? Disaster.
SuChin Pak 26:51
By the way, everything is needed. The thing about the bag is, is that everything in there has been carefully edited and called it may not seem to the outside vision, but that’s not for you, the inside of the bag is not for anyone else but us.
Kulap Vilaysack 27:09
Look, everybody’s bag is like they’re going on, Naked and Afraid, okay, and that’s what I’m doing, sort of not afraid eggs. Well, a lot of this is fear based.
SuChin Pak 27:22
Oh, that’s righ. But no, I’m not afraid to share. But yes, fear based.
Kulap Vilaysack 27:28
Name one thing that isn’t let me scroll through the list and try to pull something that is not fear based. It ain’t that Henry mask.
SuChin Pak 27:38
It isn’t that hero clip.
Kulap Vilaysack 27:39
No, which of you know is that I don’t want to?
SuChin Pak 27:43
Yeah, bring home disgusting fecal matter on the bottom of your gorgeous leather bag.
Kulap Vilaysack 27:48
Look again, calling out that I’m Asian, talking about Frank. It’s not really great to put your bag and your money on the floor. You’ll put your bag on the floor, I’m saying.
SuChin Pak 28:07
You know Ku? It’s no secret we get a lot of great presents on the show. They’re true gifts. Because, we don’t know often what we’re getting. You know, it’s, it’s a mysterious package, and and I wonder, what could it be? You know, I really tease out that delicious feeling. And then every once in a while, you tear open that box, and it’s a Gasper.
Kulap Vilaysack 28:30
You gasp?
SuChin Pak 28:32
Right, we both receive boxes from Medik8, okay? Now this is a skincare line that, if you know, you know it is the holy grail of some of the most trusted skincare experts out there for years. This is a kind of brand that, if you are a skincare junkie or maybe you’re fanatical about clinical results, this is the one that you whisper in someone’s ear you pass around, you know, she’s not flashy, and she’s not gonna lie to you. That’s to me, is how I would describe this skincare brand.
Kulap Vilaysack 29:10
Yeah, so I immediately started with their incredible Peptide Serum. I mean, what it’s like, the smooth liquid that just soaks into your every nook and cranny. It’s plumping, it’s hydrating. It has 10 different peptides that just give your skin the kind of drenching that I’ve never experienced before.
SuChin Pak 29:31
So what is this brand? Because maybe you’ve never heard of it. It is a clinically backed British skincare brand that was started by two scientist brothers.
Kulap Vilaysack 29:40
How cute is that?
SuChin Pak 29:42
I love a family business 15 years ago, by the way. So they’re out new to the game, and their mission is very simple. They want to make your skincare routine really easy by having everything in their line work to maximum efficacy, so you don’t have to have a ton of stuff. They’re trying to. Streamline this process, and they use best practices from the medical and pharmaceutical industries to making all of their serums like they are very serious about the quality of their skincare.
Kulap Vilaysack 30:13
And this is why, when we go to Europe, I feel like I have to stock up on my favorites, because the look real talk, the EU standards are just much stricter than the US. They don’t mess around. But now Medik8 is available in America, so you can save yourself the ticket and the hotel room under the stairs soon, once.
SuChin Pak 30:33
I once booked a hotel room that that the shower was under the stairs. Okay, it’s not the last time, though, and I may do it again.
Kulap Vilaysack 30:43
I may just say you will.
SuChin Pak 30:45
For the record, once, okay, and hasn’t happened since, but it may happen in the future. And we’ve talked about this, we are hyper vigilant against any kind of scam, something that feels like a scam. I don’t want it. I don’t want your glittery packaging. I don’t want the weird, newfangled thing that I can’t figure out how to open from this end to that end. This brand is about tested products, DERM approved products, professional grade ingredients you don’t need prescriptions for. And there are before and after photos of the liquid peptides we tried. The results are in seven days.
Kulap Vilaysack 31:25
And peptides are such a buzzword in skincare, they’re basically amino acids or building blocks, if you will, for certain proteins you need for your skin, like collagen and elastin. So that’s why you’re seeing these kinds of results with the serum. It’s boosting your skin’s plumping mechanisms.
SuChin Pak 31:41
Now, there is this one UK skin expert that I’ve been following for years, and she has always, from day one, raved about Medik8. So I did start with a retinol serum. It’s amazing. And for those of you who maybe are a little bit nervous about retinol, maybe you’ve had bad experiences with it, or just are like, I’m not sure this is my thing. I think this peptide is almost as good in terms of what it’s done for my skin. Okay, we’re getting into fall and winter, and as the season changes, everything on my body starts to feel like sandpaper, like crepey dry Apple peels, like little bits of scaly things that fall off of your nails. Do you know what I’m talking about?
Kulap Vilaysack 32:26
Are you okay? Are you?
SuChin Pak 32:29
Just so dry and slapping on a thick moisturizer, friends, that’s not gonna cut it. That doesn’t moisturize your skin like you think it does. You have to layer on these thin coats of potent serums under your moisturizer. That is how you actually get hydrated. Okay, and wait, I did the peptide. And yesterday I, that’s the sound of a jar opening. I cracked open this bad boy, I did the peptide under their nighttime ceramide cream last night. Oh, that was just a delicious moisturizing sandwich.
Kulap Vilaysack 33:05

Su, let’s get into your bag and boy, oh boy. I was just trying to rush through just to get to the main event.
SuChin Pak 33:41
I mean, I’m good there’s not again. Let’s go through it. You know, this is the bag.
Kulap Vilaysack 33:47
It’s a tote. I know this tote. You have this tote and a couple versions, right?
SuChin Pak 33:51
Yes, it’s the Uashmama, is how I’m saying it. But it’s spelled, U, A, S, H, M, A, M, A, it’s an Italian brand that makes bags that look like leather, but it’s paper, and so super durable, and I love them, and I have this tote in another color.
Kulap Vilaysack 34:11
And you also gift them a lot, right? Like, it’s a go to gift.
SuChin Pak 34:14
It’s washable paper. I mean, what a conversation starter. You know, you’re at a party, and maybe there’s a lull, which is my greatest fear, in a conversation with a stranger, that small talk moment, there’s that pause, and I blurred out washable paper. Let’s talk about it. I have a bag that looks like leather, but it’s washable paper. Go ahead, you fill that gap.
Kulap Vilaysack 34:43
Wow.
SuChin Pak 34:45
Casey and Jess would be so, so proud.
Kulap Vilaysack 34:48
You have, you already have strategies that you’ve been doing.
SuChin Pak 34:50
Yeah, I have my Tom bin pouch, But, see, I put a strap on it so that, because it’s always I have to have a purse within a purse. Yeah. A purse within a tote. Because I’m not going to carry this into the doctor’s office. I’m just going to carry this guy and, every lady worth her weight in Himalayan salt has a purse within a purse. You have just the necessities in here that that you would need, ie Wallet.
Kulap Vilaysack 35:18
So can I look at your let’s get into your wallet a little bit, because I’m curious.
SuChin Pak 35:21
No, let’s.
Kulap Vilaysack 35:22
I like to see how other people live, can I? Because that just looks like a tote to me, that’s a wallet?
SuChin Pak 35:28
Well, and I can’t tell you where it’s from. I can’t link it because it came free in another tote that I bought on Amazon so.
Kulap Vilaysack 35:36
It’s not quite a wallet. It’s something you use as a wallet. Is that fair to say?
SuChin Pak 35:41
Yeah, and then in here are just the cards that are necessary.
Kulap Vilaysack 35:47
And is that just cash wadded up in every which way?
SuChin Pak 35:50
Oh, yeah, cash receipts. These are the most important things I’ve got. I’m sure I’ve got, like, a CVS buck in here or two cash and my important credit cards and my insurance card. That’s it, because that’s my that’s my portable wallet.
Kulap Vilaysack 36:06
How can I? I need 30 minutes on this so they’re all just comming that way? Oh, they are not separated. There’s coins, yeah.
SuChin Pak 36:14
There’s vitamins down there.
Kulap Vilaysack 36:16
There’s vitamins down there.
SuChin Pak 36:18
Oh, I’m sure there is. I don’t know. I don’t it’s just the necessities. Oh, I see something in here, that’s.
Kulap Vilaysack 36:25
What’s that?
SuChin Pak 36:26
Oh, that’s like a free towelette I got somewhere, you know, like you have a body towelette. I have a little mini towelette because my wax is dry. And just in case, I need to clean up a table, or, you know, wipe a little sweat off my brow.
Kulap Vilaysack 36:44
Okay, speaking of sweat, that entire time, I’m like, awkwardly, like, showing you my stuff. Like, fine, completely dry, SuChin showing me her wallet. There’s so much sweat on my nose right now like.
SuChin Pak 36:56
Oh, I have a towelette for that. A free towelette. I don’t pay for my towelettes like you do.
Kulap Vilaysack 37:02
I didn’t pay for that.
SuChin Pak 37:03
Thank you, you can get them free a lot of places, and you just take way more than you need. Some would call that stealing. I call that I paid for that with my smoothie that you upcharged me for. So don’t scam a scammer, and then I’ve got my favorite sun block stick right, because you okay.
Kulap Vilaysack 37:22
Why is it? Why does it say colored? What color is it?
SuChin Pak 37:25
Well, it’s interesting. It says colored because I think it’s like, maybe gold, but it’s not, it’s not, it’s like, more of like a flesh because it’s zinc, it’s water resistant. You know, I have my favorite, one of my favorite lip products, merit, I’m trying to convert all of my lip products into non toxic lip products, because I realize that I’m eating a lot of it. It’s gonna be a years long process.
Kulap Vilaysack 37:54
What I understand by knowing you when you say it’s a years long product that.
SuChin Pak 37:58
I’m gonna eat toxic for many, many years, because I made that mistake. And that is what you do with mistakes. You eat them. I’m going to let all the toxins soak into my muscle, my fibers and my fat, okay, until it makes me sick, and then I will transition into non toxic lip products yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack 38:21
Would you allow me to throw them away if I were to go up to Santa Barbara? I understand that you cannot. Would you allow me to?
SuChin Pak 38:29
I can’t be here. I can’t be on the property.
Kulap Vilaysack 38:34
Did you acknowledge that they’re toxic? You acknowledge that.
SuChin Pak 38:37
Yeah, and I don’t want them, and I’m eating them, and now my 10 year old is, like, into it. So she always, like, is into my stuff and stealing it and put things on. And then I’m like, ooh, I really need to make that transition, but I’ve bought it, and I have a lot of toxic lip stuff in here. But again, I’m transitioning. This is why this is in my every day.
Kulap Vilaysack 38:59
So merit is not. Merit is not and, yes, I love merit.
SuChin Pak 39:03
So there’s that I’m surprised you don’t have a snacky snack.
Kulap Vilaysack 39:08
I’m not a snack. What the heck, wait. What am I looking at right now?
SuChin Pak 39:13
You know, there’s no link to this, because it’s homemade baby.
Kulap Vilaysack 39:17
Because that’s a that’s a trail mix, a snacky snack.
SuChin Pak 39:20
It’s a snacky snack, trail mix. And this, what did this jar contain at one point.
Kulap Vilaysack 39:26
I don’t know, probably hair pills or something.
SuChin Pak 39:29
Hot sauce is more like it.
Kulap Vilaysack 39:32
It’s always hot sauce with you see.
SuChin Pak 39:33
YYeah, so this is my things are not an emergency snack like here we are sustaining. We’re making smart choices. I have emergency snacks in there where it just has to happen and put it in my mouth. So this right now is a combination of dried cherries, coconut flakes and pepitas, pumpkin seeds.
SuChin Pak 39:34
The lady does not jest. She’s a snack monster. She needs a snack.
SuChin Pak 39:41
Yeah, and what happens if you don’t carry on snacks is that you end up eating shit.
Kulap Vilaysack 39:53
That’s true. The truth of the matters is I’m not out and about as much as you are to go get the kids and all of that stuff like, that’s really it. And I used to have, like, a chomps.
SuChin Pak 40:15
That’s right, meat sticks.
Kulap Vilaysack 40:17
I have meat sticks for the longest, but I just am not out. I’m just, I’m truly I’m not out and I’m home a lot, to be honest, yeah a lot.
SuChin Pak 40:24
Well, you got the little bit, now I have another free pouch. You got a pouch from skincare brand Nors, oh.
Kulap Vilaysack 40:32
Yes, that’s early days. Add to Cart Nors, that’s when we were trying to do things like knolling for social media.
SuChin Pak 40:39
I mean, this could be like, year one, this bag?
Kulap Vilaysack 40:42
Yeah, I think.
SuChin Pak 40:43
This bag I categorize.
Kulap Vilaysack 40:44
Oh, shoot, I’m looking in it, and, boy, I already did you make a mistake stepping in it?
SuChin Pak 40:51
No, I just, I already know I have that fucking Chase and voice in my head as I’m going through this and I’m trying to get him out of there.
Kulap Vilaysack 41:00
When will you start putting stuff into hefty bags and duct taping them shut.
SuChin Pak 41:05
And I really, I know what’s organized is an organization a personal thing, like it’s not universal, like he claims it’s universal, and I feel like it is the most subjective thing on the planet is being quote, unquote, organized.
Kulap Vilaysack 41:25
I love that. You know that I lean towards his style. You know that’s my leaning.
SuChin Pak 41:29
Yes, I know in this hand me down raggedy bag that there’s no link to in my mind. It’s just all the the various things that float around the bottom of a bag that needs some place to live. Great, that I don’t need in my to go bag. So it could be a poop bag. Okay, great.
Kulap Vilaysack 41:53
You have a dog, make sense.
SuChin Pak 41:54
Yes, but really, poop bags are also good for a lot of things.
Kulap Vilaysack 41:59
Mother, like, what else?
SuChin Pak 42:02
I mean, oh, God, it’s, I mean, I don’t be, hey, there’s no body shaming. And let’s show, you know, but let’s say you’re at a place, a friend’s house, or you’re somewhere and you’re, you know, have to put a little little pad in here, because it’s that time.
Kulap Vilaysack 42:19
No smart.
SuChin Pak 42:21
And you just got, you know, you don’t want to leave your lady bits all around town.
Kulap Vilaysack 42:26
Oftentimes, it’s like, you know, people have, like, open waste baskets, and it’s like, it’s empty, so that your pad’s gonna be so obvious.
SuChin Pak 42:33
We are classy women, like, I’m not gonna come into your space and just file it like it’s my own. I’m gonna leave it better than than how it was when it was presented.
Kulap Vilaysack 42:45
Yeah, that’s what I do with Emmy’s diapers. That’s and for SuChin’s diapers, that’s true sense.
SuChin Pak 42:51
Yeah, I don’t even know what’s in here. Oh, I’ve got, oh god, okay, all right, here’s here so now we’re getting down to business. Here’s something I can link. Guys, do you know about Alka Seltzer gold?
Kulap Vilaysack 43:03
No, okay.
SuChin Pak 43:05
Alka Seltzer gold, very different than original Alka Seltzer. Original Alka Seltzer has a bunch of crap in it. I think it has like aspirin or something in it. This has just sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate. That’s all you need from when you have an upset stomach, something’s something you ate isn’t settling right You bloated, any of that stuff, this is so essential. I bust these out, and, by the way, I share them, and then people pray to my feet. They’re so deserving. With the results.
Kulap Vilaysack 43:38
You deserve it, queen, and your throne is built on Alka Seltzer, fast relief, gold, and I love that for you.
SuChin Pak 43:44
Yeah, and then they shut the fuck up, is what they do. You know, after I fix them.
SuChin Pak 43:48
You’re a doctor.
SuChin Pak 43:50
Witch I’m an auntie Witch, I’ve got some sort of we got these in there, energy immunity, support, new chi packets. And I put them in tea, just to give me a little bit more, that’s got ashwagandha. It’s got a lot of really good herbs in there. Okay? And then, you know classic, what? What is a bag? If there’s not almond butter in there.
Kulap Vilaysack 44:12
I’m not mad at this. I’m not mad at this. That’s your equivalent of a junk drawer, if I may, but it’s in your bag.
SuChin Pak 44:19
Then I’ve got a pocket well, you know what I have in here that you recommend it, and I love it. Anyone that has a tote, you have to get a tote insert, and so I have a tote insert in here.
Kulap Vilaysack 44:32
That was from Dory. So I was inspired by Dory from Forever 35.
SuChin Pak 44:37
And then I was inspired by you, and that is the circle of life.
Kulap Vilaysack 44:42
That is female friendship right there.
SuChin Pak 44:44
I’m gonna hold up one thing here that I need help on from the listeners. I found this planner, okay, in Oh, what’s that fancy? Stationary store that’s like in every mall.
Kulap Vilaysack 45:03
Paper Source.
SuChin Pak 45:03
Yes, when I tell you it is the perfect daily planner, period, I cannot find this again. This is the perfect one for me. And I’ll tell you my criteria number one, it has to be small. It’s got to be this size. It’s got to be able to fit into a toe area.
Kulap Vilaysack 45:19
Yeah, so what are we looking at? That’s what’s your what’s the measurements here?
SuChin Pak 45:24
Get out my tape measure here.
Kulap Vilaysack 45:27
Was that in your back?
SuChin Pak 45:29
Maybe I don’t know, eight, eight by six, all right.
Kulap Vilaysack 45:33
Eight by six, okay.
SuChin Pak 45:34
And it has to be flexible. It cannot be a mole hard back, because I need it to lay flat. Okay, has to have an elastic or some sort of thing to hold all my receipts and my CVS box in here, okay, because there’s going to be random papers in here, little faux little pictures, little mementos for my kids that I can’t lose. So I need that, and it’s got to have a month view, okay, not daily, not weekly. I’m not interested in that. And then this one has the bonus of a notebook in the back that I use for my to do list. So this is a Japanese brand. It’s called the Soofa, S, O, O, F, A soft ring, by a brand called Coco Uyo. Again, I have been searching for this particular one, and I’ve went to the website. I’ve gone to.
Kulap Vilaysack 46:30
I feel like you’re gonna have to go to like, like, a shop in San Francisco, and like, which is so annoying Japantown.
SuChin Pak 46:37
Yeah, so annoying that I have to do this. So that is the perfect planner.
Kulap Vilaysack 46:41
There’s nothing at the bottom that’s just loose.
SuChin Pak 46:43
Oh, there’s so many things at the bottom, pens. Now I’m scrounging of the bottom and pills, pills, Tylenol, but.
Kulap Vilaysack 46:51
Inside is not Tylenol. Wow, it’s like when you it’s just random stuff, pills. You know what this is akin to? When buttons?
SuChin Pak 47:04
Oh, my God, I thought they were all pills.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:06
No, they’re all pills. I think it’s mainly pills. But then there are other things too.
SuChin Pak 47:11
Yeah, I don’t know what’s in here. Let me tell you. I mean, I don’t know what’s in here, but this looks like a good time.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:20
That’s herbal. That’s some herbal.
SuChin Pak 47:22
It could be when I was microdosing shrooms.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:27
Pop it in, pop it in, baby.
SuChin Pak 47:30
I’ll let you know in 20 minutes. We’ll make it interesting.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:34
So this is why you know about pill finder.
SuChin Pak 47:38
Because sometimes you just need half of a Tylenol, you know, just, and sometimes you need an eighth of a Tylenol. You just don’t know.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:49
How are you cutting these pills up?
SuChin Pak 47:50
Oh, you just, you just nod off with your with your fangs.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:55
Throw it back in.
SuChin Pak 47:57
Yeah, the pill. Not giving this to anybody else.
Kulap Vilaysack 47:59
I guess.
SuChin Pak 48:01
there it is. When did this expire? Oh, no matter the container.
Kulap Vilaysack 48:06
It’s just a container. It’s like, oh, cool. Can I have some Danish cookies? No, you open it up. It’s just random shit your mom put in there.
SuChin Pak 48:14
No, my brother in law the other day was like, Do you have any he’s as far as he said, advaiz, like, I don’t, but I do have some sort of Tylenol. And he was like, okay, that’s fine. And so, I did it in my hand, and he’s like, What are all those small bits? I said, those are smaller doses of generic Tylenol.
Kulap Vilaysack 48:36
Hold on, so then you do offer it to other people. So he does have a little bit of your spit on to because.
SuChin Pak 48:43
They’ve been commingling these family.
Kulap Vilaysack 48:47
Okay.
SuChin Pak 48:49
I have so many headphones because you have adjectives when you don’t have a blades around you, I get nervous when I don’t have a pair of headphones near me, because, heaven forbid you’re somewhere and you’re like, Oh, those people could want to talk to me. Podcast, you know, oh, I’m going on a walk. Podcast, you know what I mean. And you got to have it just makes me very nervous not to have lots of headphones everywhere.
Kulap Vilaysack 49:16
All right, do you feel now is the time to apologize to Jason publicly for your slander before about having charging cords when we hear that you have, how many so? How many are in there? Two, three?
SuChin Pak 49:29
Well, def, two, but normally three, the third one right now is on my desk, but that one usually goes well, and that goes in like its own little thing. Okay? Because that’s the emergency headset.
Kulap Vilaysack 49:45
Okay, so what I’m hearing is, one equals 0, 2 equals one.
SuChin Pak 49:52
No, what you’re hearing is, I don’t want to talk to you on my walk. Shut up. I’m walking. I’m in my own private, invisible bubble.
Kulap Vilaysack 50:02
I walked by MTV, SuChin Pak, and she had two, inexplicably, two headphone sets on?
SuChin Pak 50:10
I don’t know, plugged into nothing, I’m sure. And the dongle was just dangling, doesn’t matter. And then I’ve got my makeup bag. And now in this makeup bag. So I’ve this is like, if I have to touch up, you know, in a car. So I’m down to the very last, last end of my Benetint classic Benetint .
Kulap Vilaysack 50:31
You’re still using Benetint.
SuChin Pak 50:33
Oh God.
Kulap Vilaysack 50:35
I wish somebody would have told me that I didn’t blend that Benetint. I look like a Parisian clown in this photo. And when I met my 20s, I just simply did not blend it.
SuChin Pak 50:45
No, God, it’s so good. And you just do a little on your cheek and your lips, and you’re like, the corpse is gone. It’s a corpse be gone, tint, and you’re just alive, like, like a Parisian show dancer.
Kulap Vilaysack 51:00
You’re talking about the Moulin Rouge, the Moulin Rouge.
SuChin Pak 51:03
And then wait, so when I first got this lip milk, because it is a lip milk, it is not a lip balm, it’s not a lip gloss, it’s more akin to a serum, and the texture is really it’s unlike any other lip product I’ve ever experienced, because it’s, it’s a lotion, almost, and it just disappears like that. There’s no sheen, there’s nothing to it. And at first I was like, I don’t know, like, there’s, I’m I like the feeling of a gloss or, like a waxy, you know, lip product. But I’ve come to become obsessed with this when I have dry lips and when it’s like hurts, and there’s actually medicated healing that needs to go on. This heals. It’s something about the formula. It does feel more like a serum than it then, and it works more like a serum, then it is a lip balm. It took me a minute to get really into it. And now I’m.
Kulap Vilaysack 52:06
You’re sold. I love it.
SuChin Pak 52:07
I’m a big fan, and that’s, that’s it, nothing too crazy. Um, oh, wait, what do I have in my bag? Oh, I have a picture full of chocolate truffles.
Kulap Vilaysack 52:19
Hey, there. I got SuChin a number of lint truffles for her birthday, and she put.
SuChin Pak 52:25
A number of it was like a two pound box of truffles that I put into my whimsical glass picture, which never gets used often enough, and now I display it on my art table I have in my kitchen.
Kulap Vilaysack 52:40
Well, the beautiful glass fish inside which are completely obstructed by the […]
SuChin Pak 52:45
Yeah, but that’s the beauty of it. You get down to it as revealed, by the way, it’s been a conversation piece, especially with the kiddos. They get so delighted that there’s a picture full of chocolate that their friends can have. And I say, wait till you get to the bottom of it. Wait till you get to the bottom of it, because that’s gonna be such a delightful surprise.
Kulap Vilaysack 53:06
Imagine I was like, I got this big box, and I was like, what’s in here?
SuChin Pak 53:10
Oh, God, chocolate.
Kulap Vilaysack 53:11
What else did I get you? But what else did I get you for your birthday?
SuChin Pak 53:16
I mean, we all recognize I don’t need a link to this, this orange box, guys, if you’re just tuning in with your audios, what could what could be in a little orange box with a horse carriage on the front? Could it be a […] and come to find a gorgeous gold scarf ring, for your Hermes scarves or your vintage scarves. And unbeknownst to Ku, which was more surprising than anything, and it shouldn’t be a surprise, because she’s a witch, is that I went down this rabbit hole of scarves. And so I’ve been following all these, like scarf influencers.
Kulap Vilaysack 54:06
Sure, of course.
SuChin Pak 54:09
And on the real rule, I’ve been, you know, Harding and adding to my favorites list all these scarves. And I had in my brain that I was like, oh god. The what a wonderful, like birthday gift to, like, send someone a box of vintage silk scarves. Because, as these scarf influencers have been showing me, a scarf is, it’s everything I want, you know, it covers things up. It’s a little roughly. It’s it’s fashion, it’s practical. It can be used in many different ways, a top, a shawl can be a scarf. And so it just was weird, because we hadn’t talked about it at all, and then I knew when I got it. I was like, this is a scarf ring. And two weeks before, I would have been like, what is this giant gold ring? I wouldn’t have known anyway, that was my birthday. A suprese, tell everyone where you got the Hermes, scarf ring.
Kulap Vilaysack 55:04
I have been on a journey. You know, we talk about the real real here, of course, my influencer algorithm has been a lot about Korean and Japanese resale and so that got me going down another rabbit hole, and Casey told me about this eBay seller called Brandeer. And so I just that’s just a fun thing to shop and scroll through, much like I have under the real, real of course, SuChin buys for herself. That’s what this podcast is about. But there’s certain limits that I can break through. You know, that’s the best.
SuChin Pak 55:44
That’s right, you open up the horizon.
Kulap Vilaysack 55:46
Yeah, there’s the ceiling to Su’s spending. But I also knew she would appreciate that this is quality, verified, checked, and also.
SuChin Pak 55:56
It just it scratches every itch on my body.
Kulap Vilaysack 56:00
And my thought process was, is that I just assumed you were a scarf person because of how tight your colors generally are, the way that you use cashmere sweaters as pashminas. And so I just assumed you had lots of scarves. And I thought, oh, what nice. It would be a nice sort of object doubt, to have, like a gold mine.
SuChin Pak 56:26
Sit and to just get a little orange box.
Kulap Vilaysack 56:29
Sure that alone, that alone.
SuChin Pak 56:31
That alone, the box alone. I mean, I just so anyway, that’s I have that in my bag right now, because I wanted to show you what that was. And, I mean, that wasn’t so Kuku well.
Kulap Vilaysack 56:43
That’s what we’ll say because, again, it’s like most people don’t realize that their house stink until somebody else comes in. I was like, oh, did something die here? And I was like, Oh, I’ve just been used to that smell, you know, again, much like our der rain shower routines and our morning routines and our night routines, it will be up to the Carters to tell us how, if that was strange.
SuChin Pak 57:05
And unfortunately, that barometer is been broken for a while, because I think they’re just as deranged. It’s somehow, somehow, some of them have just become deranged listening, and a lot of them have found us because we’re in the deranged community.
Kulap Vilaysack 57:24
That’s right.
SuChin Pak 57:25
And that’s where we are. Oh, what a delight.
Kulap Vilaysack 57:28
