Kun basically talked about how wherever you spend your time is wherever your life is. If you spend time improving/enriching yourself, you can experience the long term benefits
After the song break, Kun talked about how reading is a very good method spend your idle time and how we should give ourselves a little time to read because in the books, you will meet a vast and magnificent world and see the different views/sights
🐻: you have a dog, right Laozhang? When do you think he’s the cutest?
LZ: when he’s sleeping haha
LZ: my dog is a herding dog, so he really likes to stick to people there’s no sheep so he treats you like a sheep 😆 he always stands somewhere he can see both me & my wife +
+ and when he was little he always followed me into the bathroom haha so I think he’s rly cute when he sleeps and lets us be 😂
🐻: I also think dogs are cute when they sleep~ sometimes they’re chaotic when they’re playing lol. We also have a dog Bella, who’s in a different dorm+
+ now, but back then I also thought she was the cutest while sleeping. Hahaha with her pink belly while sleeping upside down was super cute 🥺
First OP was carrying their luggage down stairs of a train when she slipped and fell 🥲 their classmate was watching and OP’s shoes also fell off so they jammed their foot back in said “NO WORRIES” and picked up their stuff and continued on their way
🐻: ahh you have to be aware of safety on a train! There’s a lot of people, so it’s dangerous if you fall. If you feel that your luggage is too heavy in the future, you can ask for help from nice bystanders
LZ said the longest train he’s been on was 48 hours
🐻: the longest train ride I’ve been on was from my hometown to Beijing. It took like 18-19hrs or so, but that time I was rushing to go to school there, so I didn’t buy a reserved ticket and had to stand the whole way there. +
🐻: i thought I could get a ticket while I was on the train, but there weren’t any for some reason so I sat on my luggage the whole way there
LZ mentioned young children and Kun said he’s also afraid to be stuck in the same car as kids who will cry in the middle of the night but+
+ Laozhang said he’s most scared that his mom will start chatting with the other passengers because once she opens her mouth she doesn’t stop LOL after like 20 hrs everyone around them are like friends 😂 Kun said he also was on the other end being asked all sorts of things
Now playing “Let Somebody Go” by Coldplay and Selena Gomez
Next OP said they bought a (idk what it is in english but some sort of glue/caulk?) online and asked the seller about directions on how to use/maintain,but the seller said they didn’t know either which OP thought it was weird. The seller sent them a video they found about+
+ care instructions and suddenly OP realized they contacted the wrong seller who sold other things 😭
🐻: haha well we contact sellers for a bunch of different things - do you have any interesting experiences?
LZ talked about how a lot of Chinese foreigners used to come into his store for help because they knew LZ could speak Chinese and even though they didn’t buy anything LZ would still help them out, but as time went on, he figured out that whenever these foreign students would+
+go back home, they would usually bring their families gifts like beauty products and such and even if the price was higher and there was a lot of competition, the people he helped would bring all their friends to his store bc they remembered how Laozhang helped them
So Laozhang talked about how even the seller OP contacted helped them with no return, maybe next time when OP wants to buy something this seller sells, they’ll remember this and go to this seller
🐻: I believe this too - if you do kind/generous things, the reward/good fortune will come back to you. Sometimes it might take longer, but it will come.
Next OP went to meet their friend for dinner and they don’t usually bring their glasses out, so they saw someone who looked like their friend and followed them and called out and waved but got no response and realized they were mistaken
🐻: just confidently say “ah sorry, I mistook you for the wrong person!” I remember we’ve gotten a lot of messages like this previously haha didn’t you also share a story like this 😆
LZ: that’s right I even held the hand of someone thinking it was my girlfriend :’)))
🐻: have u experienced grabbing something mistaking it was something else?
LZ: I bought 2 live octopus before and put it in the fridge to cook later, but when I came back there was only 1 left so I was confused. I went back to the store the next day and asked them why they only+
+ gave me 1 when I bought 2. Eventually they gave me another one, but when I got back home I found the other had escaped…at the time I felt really bad and thought I shouldn’t owe people, so I went back and paid for the one they gave me and told them the other octopus had escaped
+ they were laughing so that was that…but I ended up with 3 octopus LOL
🐻: hahaha not bad! You also strengthened your relationship with that auntie~ who knows maybe you’ll get a complimentary octopus in the future 😆
Next OP said their mom’s friend’s son is Jaemin (who’s young) and once they were chatting about NCT’s Jaemin and their mom thought they were talking about the friend’s son Jaemin so she was like “how do u know what kind of coffee Jaemin likes? He’s not old enough to drink coffee”
OP and non-NCT Jaemin realized her mom was mistaken so they found it funny
🐻: ahh our member Jaemin was a coffee addict before haha he drank suuuper strong coffee. Before, when we’d get the largest size we typically get it with 4 shots, but I heard he got it with 8 +
+ it was super bitter lolol so I guess that’s why fans called him “NAmericano” 😂 I don’t think he drinks that much anymore though! Not as much as before at least haha
LZ: coffee runs through his veins haha tbh I’m not a big coffee person, but all my korean friends ordered +
+ coffee all the time, so I did too. At first I added a LOT of sugar
🐻: ah, I used to do that too when I was little. I was curious about how coffee tasted and my mom bought that kind of coffee back then - I thought it was so bitter like medicine, so I added a ton of sugar 😆
🐻: now, I usually drink iced americano and don’t like sweet coffees anymore like I used to. I used to like lattes before, but not so much anymore!
Now playing “Coffee” by Quinn XCII ft. Marc E. Bassy
Next OP said they have an english name at school which is hard to pronounce, so they shortened it to something that sounds like “ow” so when someone says “ouch” sometimes OP feels like they’re calling them which is awkward haha
🐻: A lot of people will give themselves english names when taking english classes - do you have one?
LZ: Mine was Seon (sounds like ‘Sean”)
🐻: a looong time ago mine was “Keane” it kinda sounds like like ‘qian’ + ‘Kun’ together 😂 but I quite like it, so I used it everywhere
🐻: It was a name created in english class a long time ago~ Now it’s just Kun! It’s super convenient haha
Kun talking about & pronouncing his english name LOL #KUNONAIR
Next OP said over the LNY they tried cooking a new dish and said they’re someone who doesn’t look at instructions/manuals, so they just scanned the instructions and went ahead. They were concerned it would taste bad, but after 6 hours, the flavor was pretty good
LZ said he’s not someone to follow instructions/manuals exactly and said he’ll look at them, but also have his own thoughts/methods, but there are some things that you do have to read in more detail esp if their instructions are learnings/tips after a lot of trial and error
🐻: I’m the same. When it comes to instructions/manuals, I’ll scan it and put it away haha
LZ talked about how his parents taught him how to heat up/microwave a boiled egg and he got the gist, but missed a crucial step and it exploded in his face 🥲
🐻: when I look at cooking videos, I just watch to get the gist of it - cooking isn’t that difficult for me haha if you have sense, however you cook it’ll turn out okay 😌
LZ: 🥲
🐻: but sometimes when you have appliances and something goes wrong, instruction manuals are useful+
+ but then…I can’t find them anymore LOL. The good thing about a lot of electronics is that their manuals are all online these days.
LZ: there’s also forums where people discuss their appliance/electronics issues and solutions too
🐻: right it’s so convenient to look online now!
🐻: Okie~ If anyone has funny stories, remember that you can send them in to us! You worked hard today, Laozhang! See you next week ☺️
LZ: bye bye~

~Listener’s Playlist~
[1st song: “Growing Pains” by Super Junior D&E]
OP first heard this song in high school, so every time they hear it, it reminds them of their youth. OP said some friends have drifted away since then, but they hope in the new year they’ll continue moving +
~opening~
Kun talked about an iconic phrase that’s basically about how the world out there is so vast. Kun also said he hopes everyone can have a wider worldview!
🐻: letting go of your prejudices is calming and also a kind of growth in itself. During self growth, you must be brave in trial and error, but more importantly, you must maintain your self-confidence.
