1 00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:05,560 So I reiterate here, the bill is dead. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,680 The story of this great city is about the years before this 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:21,520 night. We are free. 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,960 Hey everyone this. Is Ho Ho Hong Kong with me? 5 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,400 Vivek Mabubani and the other person who pointed at me? 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,040 Who? Is uncoordinated, low energy 7 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,440 Mohammed Magdi. That's right. 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,080 Whoa. Here's another episode. 9 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:34,520 He's dropping stuff down already. 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,960 His phones gravity gravities are taking spaghetti. 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,960 He's making something like that. In my defense, yeah, it's the 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,640 first day of Ramadan and I am dying. 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,120 Yeah, man, I'm actually in the process of perishing right now 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,520 as we speak. So this is this is where 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,600 Mohammed decides one time when he wants to be religious. 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,640 Yes. So no, I've, I've done Ramadan 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,880 every year. Yeah. 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,680 Like even when I'm not that religious I still practiced it 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,040 just out of like a lens I guess. As a cleanse? 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,040 Yeah. Yeah, it's a cleanse. 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360 But also like obviously, like there is still the religious 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,160 part is still part of it. Like, it's just like, I believe 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,840 in what it stands for. Like some practices that I don't 24 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:17,000 really fully understand, I guess, like, I don't do. 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,360 But like this one, I fully get why. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Yeah. Ramadan. 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,520 So so explain to our knowledgeable audience that 28 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,200 which part of Ramadan do you fully get and hence why you kind 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720 of want to do this. I like the idea that you're 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,440 supposed to feel like everybody else. 31 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,120 Like the whole point is that right before if the breakfast 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880 time is that everyone is the same hungry. 33 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,400 Yeah. So which means you feel how the 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,640 poor people feel usually when they don't have food at all. 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,520 But are we? Really truly same Hungry because 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,120 like, what if I had one of those crazy heavy meals the night 37 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,480 before and I'm still full the next morning? 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,920 I would like to. I would like you to do that. 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,800 Yeah. So that's exactly what a lot of 40 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,800 people do. Yeah. 41 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,680 Which is before the whole, which is the last meal, like super 42 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,560 late at night, like basically not sunrise really. 43 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,920 It's like usually like here, it's about 4:00 AM maybe. 44 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,480 Yeah. I would like you to do that. 45 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,640 Eat as much as you possibly can. Yeah. 46 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,680 And drink as much. It's up to you. 47 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,880 Just try to fill up and then see how you feel because the iftar 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,560 is 7:00 PM Yeah, see how you feel the next day around 5:00 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560 PM. If you if you think you'll be 50 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,480 like so full from the night before, yeah, you are very 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,200 mistaken. What if I OK, let's let's 52 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,000 reverse it. Let's use, let's take a page out 53 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,960 of your own book. Yes. 54 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 What if on purpose, the day before Ramadan begins? 55 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,240 Yeah, I purposely get food poisoning, yes, Right. 56 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,920 So then the next day I've lost my appetite. 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,440 Somebody out on the system for a day. 58 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960 The problem with that is that you will probably be throwing 59 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,000 up, which means you're getting dehydrated and plot waste no 60 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:45,800 water. Oh, no. 61 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:46,640 Water. Yes, Right. 62 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Yeah, yeah, right. I forgot that one. 63 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Yeah. No. 64 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,080 Whatever, and I'm sure I mentioned it on the podcast 65 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,320 before we have AT shirt that we made like it's like a joke 66 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760 T-shirt. Yeah, that says not even water 67 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,640 every white person because that's the most common question. 68 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,440 Yeah, how? Could you that people Every 69 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,160 teacher would tell you that's the one thing you should have 70 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:03,960 all the time? Yes. 71 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:11,040 So yes, what if you carbo load? Yes, OK, high protein carbo 72 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480 load, yes. However, no fiber. 73 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040 So you get clogged up. All right, So basically like 74 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,560 you, you can't you're constipated, right? 75 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880 Yes, you're constipated as the food remains in your system. 76 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,760 Yes. So technically your system is 77 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,600 like, I guess I'm still full. Yes right. 78 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,520 Because like when you're like heavily constipated, you have no 79 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,200 appetite, but you're not exactly hungry. 80 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320 You're not throwing up. I think I might have found it. 81 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,240 You're also talking about even if you eat right before the cut 82 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,440 off time, like right until, which again, some people do, 83 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,880 you're talking about 17 hours of fasting. 84 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400 Yeah, it's a very long time. Yeah, but I'm saying like so. 85 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,640 So I'm trying to game it where? OK, yeah, you have to convince 86 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,520 them. You must convince the mind 87 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,520 before you convince the body. So. 88 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,360 You do convince the mind after, like, the first week, yes, Your 89 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,400 body completely adjusts. That's actually the beauty of 90 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,040 Ramadan is that the last two weeks are so easy. 91 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Yeah, that you're just like, you adjust. 92 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,200 Your stomach shrinks and then you don't actually, even when 93 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,000 you do eat, you just can't eat that much because you feel, you 94 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,480 feel full so quickly. Yeah. 95 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,560 And then, yeah, that's it. And then once actually Ramadan 96 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,360 is over and you start eating normally again. 97 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,160 It's very weird. But what's the hour you can 98 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,399 break the the fast? So basically now at the in Hong 99 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,720 Kong time, it's about 6:50 or 6:50 so. 100 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Around 7:00 PM. Around 7:00 PM. 101 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is my plan. 102 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,680 So tell me how to how to game Ramadan? 103 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,840 This is what you got to do. Yes, First things first, you, 104 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,360 you basically hit all the broccolis and everything you 105 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600 need to because that will obviously. 106 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,200 OK, hold on, let me let me rethink. 107 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,040 Sorry, we're talking about let's say, let's say day zero. 108 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Day zero is your carbure load. Whatever. 109 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,680 You want day zero is last night. Basically, today is day one. 110 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,760 All right, got it. OK, so day zero, you don't want 111 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,480 to throw up because you're going to dehydrate it. 112 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,960 Yes. So what we're doing is like on 113 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,360 day zero, we're eating all the low sugar, high fat, yes, a high 114 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,720 protein diet. What is that in food? 115 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,160 I think it's like, let's say lean chicken breast. 116 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,560 OK, OK, yes, nothing sweet, but you can have like, let's say a 117 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,560 red rice or brown rice. OK, OK. 118 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Sounds like hospital food. Yeah, sure. 119 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,000 But that's a bit higher in fiber. 120 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,160 OK, so we have that. So you clog yourself just enough 121 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,840 that you have a bit of fiber to stay keep the stomach full, but 122 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,560 not enough to have a good shit the next day. 123 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,160 Sure. So you wake up constipated at 124 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,560 9:00 AM, you're like Oh my God, Oh my intestine. 125 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Yes, However, that automatically blocks you from feeling hungry. 126 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,080 Yes, because you're still congested. 127 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Yeah. And then you get out with your 128 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,640 day because you're so lethargic you can't even get up to get the 129 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,960 glass of water. Yeah, so you go. 130 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,760 Which also means you eliminate any energy consuming activities, 131 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,760 which is basically any work. Yeah, but I well, I'm assuming 132 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,080 I'm. I'm going with your lifestyle. 133 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,160 I'm using you. Yeah. 134 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,560 So using me. Yeah. 135 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,600 You think so? You'd wake up and then you, you 136 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,280 lie and you're like, oh. Yes, that's that's me in 137 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:02,400 general, but also that's even that's me now for this first 138 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,440 week where it's just like, well, also unlike what you think, I 139 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,440 wake up at like 9 on the dot pretty much every. 140 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:08,880 Day. Really. 141 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,800 Yeah, because the dog. Well, dog, yes, dog is insane, 142 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,640 but also, like, you know, if no one wakes me up, I'm not, you 143 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,920 know what I mean? Like, I'm not going to wake up. 144 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,200 That's the problem. Like I'm I'm fully self. 145 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,320 Like you live with your girlfriend. 146 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,160 I live with the dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 147 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,200 It's like I need to keep an alarm. 148 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Yeah, yeah, of course I can't. Just like, you know, sleeping or 149 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,360 whatever. Yeah, yeah. 150 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,760 I'm not assuming that you'd you'd wake up whenever you wake 151 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,200 up. Yeah, I know. 152 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,760 I I have to force myself. To wake up, you wake up Yes and 153 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,040 right. So for a lot of people when they 154 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400 say you're when you're trying to lose weight and stuff, the idea 155 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,920 is number one to avoid having to challenge your willpower from 156 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,280 avoiding snacks, yes. So what you can do is on day 157 00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,600 zero, you clear every food item in at home. 158 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,600 Already done. Already done. 159 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680 Yes, yeah, yeah. Because I do have snacks around 160 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,880 the house. You guys got to get a lot of 161 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,600 like, candies and stuff. I literally just like I ate them 162 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 in the last week and then the rest I just locked them away. 163 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,120 Now, what is the rule of no ingesting of water? 164 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Yes, only orally. Yeah, so people talk about this 165 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480 a lot. It's yes only or you can't just 166 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,520 like it's also about intention because you know God can see 167 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,240 you, so it's not like you. Know you just keep showering. 168 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,600 Yeah, showering is fine. Like, yeah, yeah. 169 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,320 But if you like, drink it on purpose. 170 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,200 But you don't drink it like you're basically trying to keep 171 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,680 your. No, you can brush your teeth and 172 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000 stuff with water, that's fine. You just don't drink it. 173 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,440 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 174 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,720 So you can like gargle water or whatever. 175 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,520 That's what I'm saying is that you want to be able to stay 176 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,920 hydrated without the intention of hydrating yourself. 177 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,120 Yes, you can totally shower. It's fine. 178 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,120 In fact, like you know, for the prayer you need to do, do as. 179 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,480 Well, which is? Water, including gargling water 180 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,800 in your mouth. So you do do. 181 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960 That so technically, when you really like parched and you 182 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,600 really want some water, you just gargle. 183 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400 Yes, people do that. You can do that. 184 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,960 OK, no one. Again, it's about your 185 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,120 intention. If you drink the water then. 186 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,320 You know you don't drink, you just gargle just OK #2 you use 187 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,320 the highest level of skin moisturizer Yes You do that yes 188 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,320 and then you wrap the no, you don't because if you just cling 189 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560 right, you'll start sweating. So you use moisturizer like 190 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 crazy, yes, right. So that way even if not orally 191 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,480 it's physically you're still getting moist moisturizer you. 192 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,240 Can also don't hold this again, don't cut this up and be like 193 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,040 send it to some Imam and be like these guys are working heretic. 194 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,960 He's like he's giving all kind of fatwa. 195 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Like clearly I have in no position to say I'm just saying 196 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,039 what I think is right and what I do. 197 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Yeah, it doesn't mean it's don't follow this. 198 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,360 Yeah, OK. Because like, we could actually 199 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,600 use every method that people use to get LSD in the system used to 200 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,159 get water. I don't think yeah, I know, but. 201 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400 Eye drops on your right. Yes, eye drops are fine. 202 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400 Yeah. So you can do a lot, a heck of a 203 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760 lot of eye drops where the truth is you're trying to keep your 204 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,280 eyes strong, but the by product is the water does get retained 205 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,160 in your body and slowly, slowly over time. 206 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,240 I don't know if you know how eye drops work. 207 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,200 I don't think that I. Don't use eye drops, yeah. 208 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,920 But I don't think eye jobs are going to go into your skull and 209 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,680 then down into your your stomach. 210 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Yeah, that doesn't even make sense, basically. 211 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,160 Yeah, because I okay, okay, the other one is this all right? 212 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,240 What if you gargle all day? Yes, can you? 213 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,560 Are you allowed to just constantly go like you are? 214 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,640 Just oral hygiene to the Max. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can. 215 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Well, yeah, it's like. Shooting up, it's actually still 216 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:35,680 like you're doing that without swallowing any liquid and then 217 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,920 that's just making your throat pretty dry actually. 218 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,840 Yeah, yeah. Then that's you're, it's kind of 219 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,760 counterproductive if you think about it. 220 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,120 If you're gargling all time and then spitting stuff out, yeah, 221 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,120 it's actually going to make your your throat dry because there's 222 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,440 just. Unless you drink the water, 223 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,640 which again goes back to point, you cannot. 224 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,240 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Reverse this. 225 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,200 Okay, I love how we're spending the entire time just try to 226 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,240 cheat that. Also, I live by myself. 227 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,280 I can just do whatever I want. Again, it's about. 228 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,200 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, what if for the whole 229 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,120 Ramadan period, yes, you live in the steam room? 230 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,920 Yes, you can. You get it. 231 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,440 Yes, you can. I. 232 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,960 Think that's something, I think that's something because like 233 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,440 technically you're surrounded by liquid humidity for that factor 234 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,280 and you don't swallow it, but you just keep your mouth open. 235 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,280 I think you're equating the external moisture, moist 236 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,840 moisture, yeah, with the intern look in general. 237 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920 But I'm seeing like but that way without you even trying because 238 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,120 your mouth is open obviously that that humid air is going to 239 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,760 go into. That that feels like cheating. 240 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,680 We we might need to some scholars you're just. 241 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,720 Having less if. You're opening? 242 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,200 Yeah. You want to just open your mouth 243 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,280 when it's raining? No, you open your mouth because 244 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 like let's say you're saying you're praying, Oh yeah, you're 245 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,720 doing that. But by that gesture you have to 246 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,080 inhale as well. Yes. 247 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760 And the air being so wet, you wouldn't inhale moisture. 248 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,560 Yes, sure. By that factor you obviously get 249 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,600 moisturize your body. I don't know you can even 250 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,680 survive sitting in the steam room for 17 hours. 251 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160 I think that would probably like fuck up your lungs. 252 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,480 I'm, I'm working on trying to hack Ramada. 253 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,360 I just want to hack your, you know your, your immune system 254 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,400 anything right now. Yeah. 255 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,840 Well, OK. So you might get away with that 256 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,360 and then damage other parts, in which case actually that could 257 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,760 work because if you are sick you should not be fasting. 258 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,680 So if you get. I was just about getting. 259 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,160 Day 2, Sure. I was I was just working on day 260 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280 one day. Two, you realize that one of 261 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,560 your lungs does not work at all. Exactly, and then you 262 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,120 immediately get on meds, in which case don't fast. 263 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,240 And then you're intention to stay alive, sure. 264 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,480 And everyone looking like dude, this guy went Ramadan all the 265 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,040 way. He like he he took Ramadan. 266 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,720 He was like, dude, I'm going all in, Yes. 267 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,920 And admitted he was like, he couldn't do it. 268 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,840 And now he's like something we look up to, Like this guy really 269 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,240 pushed the border. Yeah. 270 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Sure. Yeah. 271 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,680 So I think, I think, I think my, my recommendation to everybody 272 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:50,760 is this, is that OK if you were to practice Ramadan basically, 273 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400 well, fasting, what's, what's the, what's the correct? 274 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,240 I think it is practice. Yes, yes, yes. 275 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,920 If you were to practice Ramadan, you would do what Muhammad's 276 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,680 doing now, which is the proper way, you know, don't eat fast 277 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,680 stuff. But if you want to master 278 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,440 Ramadan, yes, you do it the way I've been suggesting. 279 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,840 Yes yeah, listen to the the non-muslim yes exactly telling 280 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,440 you how to master Ramadan like the humility yeah, not even like 281 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,200 you know, try to make it easy. No how to how to nail Ramadan? 282 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,640 As the consultant I've used myself to be about Ramadan, I 283 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800 will tell you how to do it. I will not do it myself. 284 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,720 OK, why don't you actually do do one day with me? 285 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,840 I can't betray my religion, dude. 286 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,560 What? You're not even that religious? 287 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:34,920 You're not religious of anything? 288 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,760 No. What is your religion? 289 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,680 You don't even know. So when I feel like application 290 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:39,920 forms, I'm supposed to feel like Hindu? 291 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480 Yes, that's pretty much it. OK, that's like the opposite of 292 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,120 Muslims. That's supposed to be like, 293 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,600 tense, right? In India. 294 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,200 Oh yeah, yeah, that's. Like the biggest thing, Yeah. 295 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,320 So if your family in India finds out that you are fast and 296 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,560 Ramadan, they might not be happy. 297 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,000 I'm guessing. I have no idea. 298 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,080 I mean, technically there are periods of my day. 299 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,640 Even today I'm not eating like right now. 300 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,960 I'm Ramadani. Yes, right. 301 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,920 Yeah, Well, everyone is Ramadani for like 10 minutes when they're 302 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,200 not eating or drinking. Everyone's going to take a first 303 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,280 step somewhere. Yeah, that's actually what we do 304 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160 with kids. So when like they're like 10 or 305 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,800 whatever, Yeah. And you want to ease them into 306 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,000 it, We we like parents tell kids. 307 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,360 So like, oh, you want to fast and feel like an adult, you can 308 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,520 just fast until midday. Yeah, yeah, there's just so 309 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:20,920 people. Tell you guys are young at heart 310 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,200 and that's exactly what I'm doing so. 311 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Sure, OK, why don't you stop by then? 312 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,160 The no water thing still holds. All right, so. 313 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,040 So. OK, you hear me? 314 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,160 OK, So I wake up. Yes. 315 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,240 And I tell myself, Viv, you may be 42. 316 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,400 On paper, yes, but you're young at heart. 317 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,720 Yes, all right. Which is 41. 318 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, talk is cheap. 319 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,640 It's time to act it now, as much as I want to Ramadan as an 320 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,120 adult. I want to Ramadan. 321 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,800 You just made Ramadan a. Verb sure to do that. 322 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,920 Yeah. All right, I want a Ramadan as 323 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,320 an adult, but I feel that if I do that, I may get too serious. 324 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Yes. And my job, being a funny 325 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,360 comedian requires me to have that childlike curiosity. 326 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,760 Sure. So hence why I can't do what the 327 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,960 general adult who does accounting and stuff does, which 328 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,800 is like the proper Ramadan. Yes, I got to do the Ramadan. 329 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,040 OK, Ramadan. Ramadan is the kids version of 330 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,080 Ramadan. OK, I see, I see. 331 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Yes, because it's a bit like, you know, it's, it's better than 332 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,640 the other thing. So it's the Ramadan. 333 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,800 The Ramadan. Now I feel like you are actually 334 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,360 doing Ramadan because you're not making sense. 335 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720 That's. My boy, I told you I was 336 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840 Ramadan. Not to agreed on you're carrying 337 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,000 this because I'm low energy. Now you're just making. 338 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,080 Sense No, because like, see. So without my realizing it, I 339 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,720 woke up this morning.

I made $2.66 million worth of 382 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,280 lives better. Sure, but that can also go into 383 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,440 only 150 people too actually.

Yes, I'm cool with being the 393 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,320 auctioneer as well.

I genuinely enjoyed it and I 542 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,280 talked to Karen, the lady who owns it, and she was super nice. 543 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,000 And yeah, if you're looking for a new place for Indian food in 544 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800 TST or if you want to just go to TST for that, I highly recommend 545 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,800 tagline. So you have been. 546 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,240 I've been there. Yeah, I've been there before. 547 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,760 I think they just recently moved to another, another location 548 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,120 near next to where they were before. 549 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,560 Yeah, there's a Hart Ave., that little path with all the bars 550 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,680 and everything. No, that's not Yeah, now right 551 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240 on the waterfront.

And actually, I was gonna also 555 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,720 show you this before. So they have this beautiful like 556 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,360 kind of sculpture. Like. 557 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Like this is like the front of the I will put it here up in the 558 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840 editing, but yes, like really crazy. 559 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,880 Yeah, kind of like art piece, like right in the in the front, 560 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,880 in the yeah, super nice. So it's like obviously like 561 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,080 really well done. Yeah. 562 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,000 And then I mean, if you ever intend that you and you want to 563 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000 bite that as good. I I like I said, we both been to 564 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,080 it. We both think it's good food. 565 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,880 So yeah, I complain over. There I do actually have. 566 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,400 This is not like, you know, planned. 567 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,400 But because he sponsored the show yesterday, everyone who 568 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,360 came to the show got a $200 voucher from Tagline. 569 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,080 From tagline every. Person who came. 570 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:22,440 To the show man. So I have an extra one that will 571 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,920 give to someone on the Patreon.

And you can also support us by 588 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,040 joining us on patreon.com. And $5.00 a month. 589 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,080 That's right. So back to Ramadan. 590 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,480 Yeah. Here it feels like obviously the 591 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,920 big Pakistani community. Yeah. 592 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,760 And when I used to live in TST, I would go to the mosque on the 593 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:28,760 Kowloon. And that's actually pretty cool 594 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,400 because you can go do the prayer. 595 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760 But then The funny thing is that they do the prayer in three 596 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,000 languages. They do it in Cantonese, in 597 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,480 English and in Arabic. Oh, OK, OK, OK. 598 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,920 But then the guy, it depends on who the imam is. 599 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,800 The Arabic that sometimes is Arabic is really broken. 600 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280 So it sounds like he is just like he's just reciting, but he 601 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,880 actually has no idea what he's. Saying, which is kind of kind. 602 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Of funny, but it does feel a little difficult. 603 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,600 I think here for for for Ramadan people fasting because I don't 604 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,960 believe unless you're like really religious, the people who 605 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,160 are like, you know, from different places around the 606 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,240 world who are fasting seems a bit this in French like this 607 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,400 franchise like they're not really together. 608 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,320 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess like this area, I 609 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,640 mean like this is not, I mean think about the number of people 610 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,080 who are non Chinese, yes. And then on top of that, being 611 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,680 Muslim, and on top of that waiting to Ramadan. 612 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,240 Yes, yeah, yeah. So, but the one of the best 613 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,480 things about Ramadan is the communal aspect of it is that 614 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,840 like during Iftar, like the breakfast time, you can actually 615 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,480 have like a huge like a dinner or breakfast thing, like a whole 616 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,560 table. So I'm actually showing you 617 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,920 right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 618 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,840 So this is this is actually in Gaza in the middle of their 619 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,680 destroyed homes, because now people are going back and the 620 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,880 war is stopping. So you can see like a super long 621 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,480 table of people just like everyone is just kind of like, 622 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480 you know, trying to get food. It's kind of like what we call 623 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,960 potluck I guess of sorts. Oh, you bring? 624 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,440 Yeah. Everyone bring Yeah. 625 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,440 Sometimes like people like, you know, businessman or whatever, 626 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,280 gift charity and then the old, like absolute yeah, yeah, yeah. 627 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,800 So it's like it's really cool and that's like 1 main thing I 628 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,360 miss about like Ramadan and not a Muslim country but like also 629 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,200 I'm used to it by now but. I'm pretty sure like if you do 630 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,640 or ancients are sure there must be community that do something 631 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,240 something like that and. Yeah, but that's what I mean. 632 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,960 Like, I don't know how to find them because I'm not like that 633 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,800 in that community of like, yeah, super religious people. 634 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,080 But if you know something, if you're listening and you know 635 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,160 something that is not, you know, hardcore because also they all 636 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,680 know each other. So if I just come out of 637 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,840 nowhere, you would be welcoming. But I would feel like an 638 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,240 outsider, you know, But you know, like a, yeah, a cool 639 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,840 Ramadan buffet or something. I mean, are you telling me the 640 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,560 mosque itself doesn't have some sort of? 641 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,120 They would have, but I was never there during Iftar. 642 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:42,400 Yeah. Yeah. 643 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,560 Yeah. So I would go for, like, the 644 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,280 prayer time or sometimes, like, the late prayer time was 645 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,840 actually never there during iftar. 646 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,360 So maybe I should check it out. Yeah. 647 00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,000 Because I'm like, curious. Like one cool thing about 648 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,080 Ramadan is that you usually start like, break your fast with 649 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,320 a date. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 650 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,200 So date is like, very common. So yes, in the Moscow times, 651 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,360 they would actually just give away. 652 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,920 Again, I wasn't there during iftar, but generally speaking, 653 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,200 in any place where there is Iftar, you just give you a date. 654 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,720 So back home, one of the one of the, you know, joked about 655 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,240 things is that because when you give someone day to break their 656 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,600 fast, you get Hassanet, which is like, you know, good karma. 657 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,400 Let's it's like Lycee. Correct. 658 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,120 Yeah, yeah. So the funny part is. 659 00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:25,920 That so the date is to break the fast the license to break your 660 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,640 broke yeah yeah, yeah, yes break before. 661 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,600 Just broke, period. Yes, exactly. 662 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,520 So. But if someone is like driving 663 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,280 their car or on the road or whatever, that means that they 664 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,400 are not like they're not home. They're not like eating right 665 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:39,080 away. Yeah. 666 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,480 So you stop their car in the middle and you're like, give 667 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,080 them a date, date. But the joke is that there's 668 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,600 people are so forceful sometimes, like. 669 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,120 Take the fucking they. Like shove their hand inside 670 00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:52,080 your car, inside the windows, Like, take the thing. 671 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Yeah, it's just. I was like, oh, so annoying. 672 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:55,200 Yeah, keep me alone. It's. 673 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,600 Fine. Wow, that is so bizarre. 674 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,760 That's reverse burglary. Exactly. 675 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,960 Reverse burglary. I'm gonna break into your car to 676 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,680 shove dates in your face. Like shut up and take my date. 677 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,680 Shut up. And take my date. 678 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,160 Wow, okay, okay, okay, so 7:00 PM tonight basically people. 679 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,120 So if you do see more on the street during this. 680 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,920 Passed out. Or like at 7:00 PM. 681 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,880 Yes, just throw dates at him. Yes, yeah, yeah, you should. 682 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,640 If you know, if you run into me and there's some listeners who 683 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,920 usually run to me, if you think you'll see me soon, just have a 684 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,720 couple of dates in your pocket. Yeah, in case you see me next 685 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,920 time, you just give me dates and I would be very thankful. 686 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,440 I would just I would take a photo and say I post it online. 687 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,080 There's definitely some joker on the street. 688 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,440 He's going to throw their girlfriend that you take my. 689 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,000 Date. Take my date. 690 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,240 Yes, take my wife. Like, yeah, sure, man. 691 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600 I mean if you have. To I do wonder, like obviously 692 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,240 you growing up here, did you have any Muslim friends like 693 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,640 doing really No, no. No, no, because like growing up, 694 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,320 see most of my friends are Chinese and like the other one 695 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,360 or two Indian friends were Hindus, Yeah. 696 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,600 So there was no where are the? Pakistani kids. 697 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,440 I have no idea actually. But then also not. 698 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,200 They segregate them from the Indians. 699 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,320 I'm pretty sure like back then probably there were not that 700 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,240 many Pakistani kids anyway to start off with more Indians and 701 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,320 then also Pakistani kids. Maybe they would go to more of 702 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,920 the English speaking schools. Oh, I see. 703 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,320 You get it. Like, like I was already being 704 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,280 the outside of the norm thing. And then on top of that being 705 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,000 like Indian as well. Yeah, yeah. 706 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840 It may have been because they were not that many Pakistani and 707 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,720 then therefore, whoever were Pakistani, they may want to have 708 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240 stayed in their own circle. Yes, That makes sense. 709 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:26,800 Yeah. Yeah. 710 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,240 But did you, did the school like you went to public school, 711 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:30,840 right? Yes. 712 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,960 Did the schools do anything? That was special. 713 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,520 No, no, no. No, Oh my God. 714 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600 Dude, there was no acknowledge. You were just like oh you're 715 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,280 here, OK good. I mean, that's your problem. 716 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,240 I don't actually, yeah, because on the Hong Kong public 717 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,960 calendar, yeah, there is no mention of Ramadan either. 718 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,960 No Ramadan. There's like no Diwali stuff. 719 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,040 I do know that chief executive nowadays does mention something 720 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,240 about Diwali. Yeah, but back then there was, 721 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,720 like I said, there was no school cultural days and stuff back 722 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,960 then. Yeah, now you do. 723 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,080 You get OK, so you think like in schools now you might have like. 724 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,280 People know of it yes and also you have more and more Muslim 725 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,800 slack Pakistani kids in schools. So therefore other students 726 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,360 would be, oh, we better be aware of that, yes. 727 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,960 Hence like, for example, like you'll have a lot of, let's say, 728 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920 Muslim girls in schools. Yes. 729 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,240 And like the school uniform may be like a skirt, whatever, 730 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,080 right. And then it is understood that, 731 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,960 yes, we get that, you know, you wear pants as well for that one, 732 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,480 you know. Yeah. 733 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,560 So there's that kind of the hijab is like, OK in schools. 734 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,920 Yes. So it's these obviously other 735 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,360 students are going to be like, what the hell is that? 736 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,400 You know, yes, they want to know. 737 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,160 And that's a good thing. You get to see first hand be 738 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,520 like, oh, it's no big deal. Yeah, right. 739 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,960 And but back then for us, it was more like there was no, because 740 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,800 I remember back in those in the 80s and 90s, there was no real 741 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,320 adult cultural let's live together. 742 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,440 Yeah, yeah. It was like, oh, you're yellow. 743 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:40,960 So therefore you do this. Yes. 744 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,760 And then, yeah, people I guess, like stuck together, like in 745 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,680 their own. Circles a bit more, yeah, yeah. 746 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280 And even like school textbooks. I mean, there was like some 747 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,160 photo and someone textbook that did have that one. 748 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,440 My my parents, my father and my mother is a Filipino, huh. 749 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,640 She's a main kind of a thing, yeah. 750 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,800 What? Yeah, they were. 751 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,360 Holy shit. Yeah, they had the bad. 752 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,560 Yeah, it was bad, you know. So was that like AAPR problem 753 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,840 later? Yeah, yeah, that media pulled 754 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,040 back afterwards. Okay, So what was the story? 755 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,960 No, it was just one of these English exercise books. 756 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,520 Yes. And basically you had filled in 757 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,480 the blanks. You show pictures of people are 758 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,760 like cartoon characters and we just say my, this is that. 759 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,840 Therefore, she's she's a. Okay. 760 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,360 So it wasn't like therefore she but it's like, my mother is 761 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,240 Filipino. She's a a maid, right? 762 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,160 Say right, Yeah. And it was not like, therefore 763 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,040 she's a maid, but it's like it. Was under. 764 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,040 It was. Yeah, it was. 765 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,160 Understood. You know, it's like, wait, are 766 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,000 you doing that? You know. 767 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,760 So if the if the student answers, therefore she's a nurse 768 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,200 and they'll be like wrong. Like you actually lose the mark. 769 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,880 You don't lose for therefore you lose for nurse. 770 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,280 Yes. No you cannot. 771 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,040 Yes, exactly. Like, why would you do it? 772 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,280 Yeah, so I remember. That the model answer is. 773 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,680 Helper. Yeah, exactly. 774 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,280 You know, So the idea was, I remember like back then there 775 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,280 was no such thing as these things being politically 776 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,200 correct. Yes. 777 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,000 And it was. And even like the terms and 778 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,280 everything we call them like, oh, panmui, like as in like the 779 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,400 the Filipino lady. Yes. 780 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,960 And when you say panmui, you would know, oh, that's probably 781 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,320 the maid. Oh yeah, it. 782 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,800 Was that level you know back then, but of course now it has 783 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,960 changed and it's also because more and more people are voicing 784 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,680 it out yes the new generation is coming out exit it's like it's 785 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,440 like the the the South Asian face in Hong Kong yes has 786 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,840 changed because they're more and more candy speaking yes more and 787 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,560 more representation is like oh like they're they're actually 788 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,000 one of us but yes yes all along same with the Muslim community 789 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,400 hence like think about the whole what the government now I. 790 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Have like the little hat. I should be wearing it during 791 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,360 Ramadan actually, but then annoyingly, I wouldn't wear. 792 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,880 The hat, I mean, you're not doing the water, but you're not. 793 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,560 You don't do the hat, I mean. Well, annoyingly, when I wore it 794 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,160 for Halloween, which admittedly, you know, it's still like my 795 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,880 costume. So what? 796 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640 Not costume like my national, like regular clothes. 797 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,600 So I was just being lazy. Yeah. 798 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,680 But then also people have mistaken it for Yamak. 799 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,200 I'm like, no, yeah. Yeah, it's like. 800 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240 The opposite, Yeah, Well, not the opposite. 801 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,560 It's just like different, you know? 802 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,440 To explain is it all? Right, fine. 803 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,320 Whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 804 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,840 Did I? I don't think I ever mentioned 805 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:02,320 this. I was wearing that same hat 12 806 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,720 years ago now. I was living in Changshun in my 807 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,000 first place in China, teaching English. 808 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,080 And then we did a trip to Beijing just to like, hang out 809 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,480 or whatever, me and other teachers. 810 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,000 And then it happens that there is a Jewish Passover event in 811 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,320 Beijing and someone who's a friend of the, you know, one of 812 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,360 the Jewish teachers invited all of us to go like, oh, cool. 813 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,360 Had no idea. No, I, I still like until that 814 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,160 point. Did it? 815 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,200 I like, I don't think I heard the word Passover before. 816 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,680 It was just like something complete. 817 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840 I'm like, OK, sounds like a fun cultural event wherever we go. 818 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,520 So and I wore my little hat actually, no, that's not true. 819 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,640 I found. So they give you the little like 820 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,080 Jewish, the Yamaka. Yeah, like there is like a bowl 821 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,440 full of Yamakas and I felt uncomfortable wearing it. 822 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,800 And there's a bunch of other foreigners, non Jewish people. 823 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,760 And they were OK with it. I wasn't. 824 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,400 And I actually found the one hat that is actually Muslim there. 825 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,200 So someone I don't know if they just thought it's the same or 826 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,680 whatever. So I'm like, oh shit, that's 827 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,480 ours. And I wore it and it still 828 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,640 looked quite similar. Yeah. 829 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,400 So anyway, so the Jewish Passover, I'm sure most 830 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,239 listeners would know, is actually celebrating Jews 831 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,400 leaving Egypt. And I did not know that time. 832 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,159 So they actually, and then you're supposed to pass on 833 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:22,440 around the mic, around the whole venue, like every table, and 834 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,880 people read verses from I think the Torah or whatever the, the, 835 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,520 the not the Bible. Yeah, whatever their versions. 836 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,040 Yeah, I think the Torah. Equivalent, Yeah, the Jubal, 837 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,320 whatever we call. Yeah, yes. 838 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,600 And then you're supposed to read it and drink a bit of wine. 839 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,960 I don't drink and I'm doing like, so I'm like now holding 840 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,480 wine that I'm not drinking. Yeah. 841 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:44,639 And I'm reading it and I'm literally the 1st that I'm 842 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:47,920 reading is something about like just thrashing like Egypt. 843 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,199 And he's like the Pharaoh tried to kill all the Jews. 844 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,600 And I'm like, hold. On a second. 845 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,120 Yeah, and just I look around the table and this like this Israeli 846 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,040 grandpa from across the table just eyeing me and it's like, 847 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,040 bro, just sit down. It was so awkward and I had no 848 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,920 idea. And then I like yelled at my 849 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,040 friend after event. And why the fuck didn't you tell 850 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,080 me that Passover is about Jews leaving Egypt? 851 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,840 Why did you think it's a good idea to invite me at all? 852 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,640 I mean, you left Egypt too. Exactly. 853 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:19,680 Yeah, Yeah, exactly. Maybe. 854 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,760 Yeah, maybe. We thought you would enjoy this 855 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,200 as you also escaped. Egypt. 856 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,560 Yeah, that's a different reason, but sure. 857 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,200 Yeah, yeah. That was just like one of the 858 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,520 fun stories that I had back then. 859 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,280 Oh. God. 860 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,280 Yeah, I had no idea. Yeah. 861 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560 But going back to Ramadan in Hong Kong, it's also hard 862 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,840 because Ramadan is a lunar calendar, kind of like Chinese 863 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,120 New Year. Oh. 864 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,120 Yeah. It's always switching around, 865 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:39,640 right? Yeah. 866 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,520 Switching around so much like it's coming. 867 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,240 It's goes earlier every year in the calendar. 868 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,560 So right now it's not as bad. But like couple of years ago 869 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,160 actually during COVID, it was like during in May or something, 870 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,280 and that was really rough. And when I arrived, it was 871 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,640 actually a proper summer. Yeah. 872 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,520 Yeah, that's brutal. That's actually when you really 873 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,400 can't do anything. I was working the coffee company 874 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,640 as well. And, you know, I was like 875 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,600 completely caffeine, like just addicted to caffeine, like 876 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,080 amazing coffee for free. And then when you cut that off 877 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,920 suddenly and then you still have to work in an office, no water. 878 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,960 And then the coffee, everyone is like, smells amazing and you 879 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,080 can't have it. That's when you, like, 880 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,320 contemplate suicide. That's like, I should not be 881 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,440 around people right now. But that, that's the thing, 882 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,800 right? That's the intention, though. 883 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,000 Like, yes, that time. Yeah. 884 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000 So let's say someone gets to that point. 885 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,280 They're like really struggling with it. 886 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,480 But it's more like just a mental thing. 887 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,880 Yes. And they contemplate to the 888 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,640 point that it makes them angry. Yes. 889 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,360 What's the what's the the line that you can have the eye Man? 890 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,240 I was about to like basically break that vase if I didn't have 891 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,200 a glass. Well, the The funny thing is 892 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,560 that actually Ramadan or fasting as a spiritual well thing, it's 893 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:53,080 not just about you're supposed to fast from beyond drinking and 894 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,560 water. You're supposed to fast from 895 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,720 insults and bad mouthing and like stuff like this. 896 00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:59,720 It's a full exercise. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 897 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:03,240 So actually, if you are not drinking water or food eating, 898 00:37:03,240 --> 00:37:05,560 but then cursing at everybody and throwing vases at people, 899 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,800 yeah, then there's no point. Literally, according to the 900 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,520 text, just just eat already. Like you're just like. 901 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600 It doesn't make any sense. So basically anyone who's a 902 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,120 spoiled brat can get away. Yeah, pretty much. 903 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,480 God damn dude. Like This is why. 904 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,240 I mean, This is why I should not have been brought up this way. 905 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,080 Brought a spot. But like, you do you, you know, 906 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,840 just do everything. Just leave your things on the 907 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,760 floor. It's fine. 908 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,360 So it's actually a very common back home that you see like a 909 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,720 lot of like traffic, like arguments and stuff a couple of 910 00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:34,440 hours before iftar. This is where people are losing, 911 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,840 losing their shape. They're like everyone is just 912 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,240 also with like people smoke a lot there. 913 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,360 That's actually the. Hardest that's allowed. 914 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,080 No, no, You know what I'm saying? 915 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,520 No, people are. Generally smoked, yeah. 916 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,280 Oh man. And for like most heavy smokers, 917 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,160 if you just suddenly stop, you are again losing your shit. 918 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,000 Yeah, in general. What does the What does the text 919 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,400 say about vaping? Not allowed with my friend. 920 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,720 No. No, I don't think the text had 921 00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:02,800 vaping, but I'm going to safely assume not allowed because 922 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,120 chewing gum is not allowed. Oh. 923 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,920 Yeah, when you're like ingesting still like sugar and stuff. 924 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,600 All right, OK, OK, yeah. What if it's those 0 sugar gums? 925 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,280 Still no. OK, all right, what if it? 926 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,520 You can you can swallow your own saliva yes and you can oh 927 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:24,240 actually, I don't know how this exactly works, but again, don't 928 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,160 come for me for this. Apparently the, the this is 929 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,680 going to sound horrible. The one the mothers usually are 930 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,040 making the food because of course. 931 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,720 Yeah, like the lady making the food. 932 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,720 You're, you can like like just if you're making the food for 933 00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,280 the food, they not just taste like touch, like the tongue, 934 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,920 just to check like the salt and stuff. 935 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,160 And I think I remember like watching some imam on TV 936 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,240 specifically like addressing the women, and I thought that was 937 00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,560 hilarious. How are you? 938 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,320 Yeah. Yeah. 939 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,400 So yeah, I think you can just like, yeah, just touch to see 940 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,720 again, it's all about intention. Yeah, yeah. 941 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,360 Yeah, yeah. It's like, it's like I go with 942 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,880 me. Like ultimately it's like you're 943 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,320 really cheating nobody but yourself, right? 944 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,480 Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 945 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,560 But I also do like it because, yeah, you. 946 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,360 You one of the main things is that also you appreciate the 947 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,280 things you take for granted when they are taken away from you. 948 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,840 So now you are like whatever smoker or or you know, you like 949 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,680 chewing gum so much you're addicted to stuff. 950 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,600 And it's also it aligns with 1 and I think this is probably the 951 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,400 main reason I do it. It aligns one of one of my main 952 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640 principles in life which is non attachment. 953 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,440 Non attachment. Oh yeah. 954 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,240 So practice non attachment to me is a really big one. 955 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,920 I've been practicing for years. Yeah. 956 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,600 When it's like, it doesn't mean you're like. 957 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,880 Isn't really unfair when you have nothing to attach to. 958 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,000 It is. It's actually it's it's a bit, 959 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,560 it's a bit bleak. If you really, if you go extreme 960 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,080 with it, then it's not good because there, yes, you're 961 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,840 right. Then you have no identity. 962 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,720 Yeah, no. Just floating, yeah, yeah. 963 00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:54,360 Exactly. But not attachment to things in 964 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,120 particular or habits. I really believe in that. 965 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,880 Yeah. And Ramadan is a really good 966 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,920 exercise for that because, you know, we're, we have a pretty 967 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,040 like Hong Kong's obviously, like amazing. 968 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,960 You have everything, you have access to everything. 969 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:10,680 So you know, if I want coffee at 5:00 PM or whatever, I just walk 970 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,520 downstairs and get coffee. And, you know, if I want 971 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,880 whatever, like clean water, any, anything. 972 00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,160 And then suddenly you just don't have access to any of this with 973 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:23,000 your own choice. And that to me, yeah, just like 974 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,120 teaches you that like, oh, I can also. 975 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,800 The thing was not attachment is that you also teach yourself 976 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,600 that you can't live without. You can't live without. 977 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,720 Yeah, Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 978 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:32,600 I mean, I, I get what you mean. Yeah, you have to. 979 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,480 I think that's the ultimately, I think with every religion, yeah, 980 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,080 that I found or any sort of philosophical thinking is that 981 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,360 it's the ability to do but not need to do it. 982 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,600 It's like with martial arts, it's like you have the ability 983 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,560 to defend and fight, but you should never need to defend and. 984 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,800 Fight correct, Yeah. I think that's that's what I've 985 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,680 learned over time as well, is like having the ability doesn't 986 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,560 mean that you should do it, but just have it. 987 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,320 It's like like with the sinks. They have the dagger as well and 988 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,520 but you're not supposed to use it. 989 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,840 It's supposed to be there, but never the intention should be 990 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,080 like I should never need to use this. 991 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Yes, it's actually to flip this around. 992 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,360 The Americans have the same argument about their guns. 993 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,240 Yeah, they're like, I should never have to use it. 994 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:08,840 I should. I should let me have it, but 995 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,000 they're funny enough, a lot of them have like 12 guns in the 996 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,520 house. Like you don't, you don't need 997 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,840 12, Yeah. Way to war, yeah. 998 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,880 Exactly. I mean, then we also have like 999 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,520 even with the the comedians here in Hong Kong, many of them have 1000 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,440 the title of comedian, but they don't have don't always have to 1001 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:23,880 have the. Joke. 1002 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,080 Exactly they're. Like, well, you know, I'm not 1003 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,520 attached to the part of the punchline. 1004 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,920 Yes, yes, they're also practicing non attachment to the 1005 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,920 job. Yeah, not this. 1006 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,800 Is the job not attachment to writing jokes? 1007 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,720 Yeah, exactly. They are attached. 1008 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,760 They are attached to just hanging out. 1009 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,880 Yeah, and being with. Other comedians saying I'm a 1010 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,560 comedian, yes, without the attachment of the responsibility 1011 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,560 with it as well. And this is where like you have 1012 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,440 all those like little Gray area discussions like well, 1013 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,960 technically I'm just not attached to the idea. 1014 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,640 I have to be funny every time I was like what? 1015 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,800 Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1016 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,720 But I think that's something, though, as you get older, I 1017 00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:00,000 think that when you're young, it's annoying because like, oh, 1018 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,040 what am I doing? I want to do this. 1019 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,680 But I get older, you find that you need to do these things too. 1020 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:04,720 Yeah. Mind yourself. 1021 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,440 Exactly. Yeah. 1022 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,440 Yeah. Yeah, and it's also like, 1023 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,800 literally just like going to the gym like you can. 1024 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,240 Yeah, it's same thing you're saying like you don't have to do 1025 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,720 it, but it's it's only benefiting you. 1026 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,440 Yeah. It's the same thing for Ramadan. 1027 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,240 I think it's only like, even if you completely remove the 1028 00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:22,200 religious side of it, Yeah, you're only doing it to benefit 1029 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,240 yourself or to train yourself. And that's ultimately a good 1030 00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:27,120 thing. And it doesn't, you know, you're 1031 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,360 not doing it for anyone else but yourself. 1032 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:30,760 Yeah. And that's good. 1033 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,080 However, I will also say because again, I'm like, you know, work 1034 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,880 for myself and my schedule is a lot of it is like meetings and 1035 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,960 coffees with people. Yeah. 1036 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,560 So now I'm like, luckily this today is literally the first 1037 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040 day. So but like the next few days I 1038 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,920 have meetings with people that I now have to be like, hey, do you 1039 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,160 want to meet in like a park? Yeah, because because it's the 1040 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,960 first few days are the hardest and I'm addicted to caffeine. 1041 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,560 Yeah. You go see, like I go want to go 1042 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,000 there. I I can't even handle them 1043 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,920 drinking coffee and me smelling coffee. 1044 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,680 So I have to just like nip it in the bud and be like, I just 1045 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,120 asked two people if one, I asked if they want to go for a walk. 1046 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,400 It's a professional meeting. I'm not supposed to do this. 1047 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,280 And the other one who's quite high up in a big organization 1048 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,320 and I literally just told her, can you beat me in the park? 1049 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,840 She goes, what's wrong with you? I'm like, it's Ramadan, man. 1050 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,240 I don't want to see food or drinks. 1051 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:21,280 She's like fine just meeting in Hollywood Park. 1052 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,000 Oh my God, that'd be so cool sitting on a bench. 1053 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,800 There's like a little paper bag next. 1054 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,320 To it, I I told her you can bring your own bottle of wine. 1055 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,600 I'm just dictating the whole thing. 1056 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,840 I'm like, if we meet next week, I would be fine. 1057 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,560 Yeah. But the first few days is just 1058 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,040 rough. But also, there is, I take my 1059 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,640 dog to run around Hollywood Park. 1060 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,880 I live next to it. And there is a, you know, a 1061 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,480 homeless guy who's been, like, basically living there forever. 1062 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,320 And, you know, sometimes I take the dog to run around at night, 1063 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,880 and it gets kind of annoying. And I had this argument with him 1064 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,680 before. He goes, dogs are not allowed. 1065 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,760 And I said people are not allowed to sleep here either. 1066 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:56,600 And since then, he kind of left me alone. 1067 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,520 But then now I like, because I'm not drinking or eating. 1068 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,800 I just want to go back. I'm like, hey, man, I can relate 1069 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,360 to you now. Yeah. 1070 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,200 Yeah, yeah, it's the whole. Exercise. 1071 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,720 It's like, OK, I'm not going to be grumpy. 1072 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,920 I get it.
