Alright everybody, happy weekend! We are going to play 5 questions for Evan and Nina. Okay, so this is a spur-of-the-moment thing. Nina doesn't really even know what we're doing. Here's what we're gonna do. I pulled up this list of 200 questions to get to know somebody. And I'm gonna pick 5 to ask you, you're gonna pick 5 to ask me. We'll go one at a time.
About yourself?
No, about the other person. I pick one for you, you pick one for me. Okay, ready? Your question is, let's see. What's your favorite piece of clothing that you own or have owned?
Oh, one of the dress from BCBG. Very elegant.
Okay, that was an easy one. That was soft, but that wasn't very detailed though, Nina. Okay, we want some comedy here. Okay, find a question for me. We have to do this 5 times, you know. We gotta pick some questions.
What songs have you completely memorized?
The most memorable one was this Chinese song. I don't remember it now anymore. But there was this Chinese song that I wanted to impress Nina. And it was one of her favorite songs. And so I had a friend of mine write out how it would sound in English. And then and then I would memorize it. I had no idea what it was saying. And then I had Nina play it in the car randomly. It came on randomly, and then I just started singing to her. Do you remember any of it?
Yeah.
Nado jun jao ba do kudin. Ne yo ju chi sang yin charlin yo yu tsun sum soi soi tsun. Yao gon chin jun lao gon. I'm making stuff up now. That was pretty good. Come on, that's like 3 years.
You had to sing it at our wedding.
I was forced to. Next question. What job would you be terrible at?
Holy cow, I don't know. Can you just ask me another question?
No, answering questions isn't a job either.
I don't know. I've never done a job that was really bad.
Maybe you haven't done enough jobs.
I've done a lot of jobs.
How about a clown? I think you'd be a really bad clown.
I would be really bad at making people laugh.
Nina would be a really bad clown.
I, I, yeah.
Nina would be a bad clown. Don't dress up as a clown.
I'm very reserved.
Okay, clown. Okay, good. I answered your question for you.
Okay, good.
Go next. Okay, 2. We gotta get through 5 each. Come on, this is—
Okay, what would your perfect room look like?
What would my perfect room look like? My perfect room. Hmm. My perfect room would have my YouTube channel playing on the big screen TV with daily— with second— by the second updates and comments. It would have this awesome ice cream machine that would be like no-calorie ice cream on soft serve, orange swirl. Oh my God. And then would have all sorts of toppings that were also low-calorie, no-calorie toppings that I could include with it. There would be a big picture of Nina somewhere in there.
A sunroom, okay? You don't even have the picture.
It's important. I feel like, um, a beanbag is important. What else would I need to have? I need to have my video camera ready to go. I think like one of those like 8-screen monitors, you know, like a computer with like 8 monitors so you have different things on them. Be pretty cool. An infinity pool. That you could jump into. The pool that you could jump into that like when you swim it moves.
In the same room?
Yeah, in the same room, of course, with an infinity view. So it's like it's going out, that goes outside. Okay, so like the office is enclosed but there's this like secret part on the, on the side with an outdoor above ground like I'm— and this is like skyrise, right? So like you're going out and you're, you got 360 view and the water's pushing back. You gotta swim against That'd be pretty cool. A direct phone line to Batman would also be very cool. That would be an essential part of an ideal room. That's pretty good. That's a good start. That's a good start. I feel like I'd need a teleportation somewhere, or just like I could jump into a tube and it like transports me somewhere. That'd be really good.
It must be a huge room.
No, no, but it's all going to be condensed. Like everything has the same spot.
I just noticed you didn't lose a lot of weight. Your bone, your cheekbone is very— it's showing a lot.
Okay, you should be a clown. Okay, good.
Oh my god, yeah, you lost too much weight.
Too much weight. Well, you know, that's what happens. Okay, next. What pets did you have while you were growing up? We had dogs.
It was only for like— all the dogs that my mom bought. It won't last for one season.
Oh wow. Poor Teemo.
Because when I was in China, I was living like right by the big street. It's like 4 lanes, 4-lane street. It's like right— our house is right by the big main street. Every time, like almost every time.
I'm not letting your mom babysit the dog.
No, because those dogs, they're not like pets like in Canada. They didn't last. They got run over by car. What takes too much of your time? Your time is valuable.
You know, I'm in charge of my time, so I take accountability for the things that take up too much of my time. I would say driving. Driving takes up too much of my time. I don't like driving. Picking people up, driving people places. It's also because it's hard to be productive while driving. I can't do anything else while I'm driving. I guess I could talk to people on the phone if I use the phone. Anything else I don't mind so much because I can usually get work done. I can do something. I can be productive. But when I'm driving, I can't. It bothers me. What are some small things that make your day better?
Evan pick me up from Subway and drive me to Subway.
Driving.
Yeah, great. It's only 5 minutes to drive to Subway, okay? Okay, you get to spend time with your wife.
Only on the way there. Then I have to spend time—
Yeah, then you get to spend time with your dog on the way back.
I have the dog the whole day.
Well, but he was sleeping during the day. Okay, next, Michael.
That's it? The only thing that makes your day better is when I drive you to the Subway?
What are some small things? So this is Just some of it, not all.
Alright, fine. Okay. Question 4 for me, what do you got?
What shows are you into?
What shows am I into? What kind of shows, like TV shows? So together we're watching Game of Thrones, we're watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Blindspot.
Oh yeah, Blindspot, we went through that, we went through Gotham, we went through Suits, we went through Arrow, Flash. We watched like one show a night, one episode a night, feels like— how have we gone through so much stuff? Arrow, Flash, and then me, I also watch Billions and Silicon Valley. Yeah, I don't like them. No, Nina doesn't watch them. And then every now and then, like a backup, Shark Tank or The Prophet.
The Prophet was good too. Yeah, I like Prophet.
Yeah, what's his name? Marcus Lemonis.
Yeah.
Okay, last question. Oh my god, it better be a good one. Last question. What are you interested in that most people haven't heard of?
Oh my god, I don't know. That should be me asking you.
I got that question, I'm so excited.
I don't know.
Final answer.
Can you just pick another one?
Bachata dancing. How about something Chinese? What are you that's Chinese that, uh, you watch Chinese TV shows?
I watch a lot of Chinese TV shows when Evan's not available. V Channel.
She orders a lot of stuff. A lot of Chinese boxes arrive often to the condo.
That was you! Those boxes are for you.
A lot of random clothes showing up. What else do you do that most people haven't heard of? I don't think most people have heard of bachata dancing. Come on, you guys know what bachata dancing is. Maybe kizomba dancing? Okay, we'll go with bachata dancing.
I'm a very simple person.
Last question for me! Last question for me! What do you got, Nina? I like this one. If you were a dictator of a small island nation, what crazy dictator stuff would you do? I like the Office one. I'm excited for my infinity edge pool, auto-motion out into the city with my trampoline in the back. Batman.
What piece of entertainment do you wish you could erase from your mind so that you could experience for the first time again?
Oh wow, what was a great first experience? See, the experience often is around the circumstances too.
Roller coaster.
I don't want to experience it again. If I could just erase it from my mind, that'd be great. But then I have to experience it again for the first time. So, see, the problem is a lot of the first time, you know, it's a good experience. You can't recreate those circumstances.
I did it. Let me ask another one.
What? Really?
Yeah.
I was thinking about that one.
Okay, maybe you could come back later if you want.
No, there's only— this is the last question. Okay, you're gonna switch it up?
What movie title best describes your life?
What movie title best describes my life? Why are you laughing? Is there some movie called Believe? It's got to be a movie called Believe. That's an easy one. I'm curious, you guys, what movie title best describes me or this channel?
This is asking you.
I know, I know, but I'm just asking. You know, it's an interactive thing here. The Bourne Identity. I go with The Bourne Identity. I don't know why. Wait, are you flexing in the camera? My wife, the clown.
Jason Bourne?
Yeah, I don't know why I picked that one.
Why?
The Bourne— I don't know, I have no idea. I just said I don't know why I picked that one. I watched it the other day when I was sick. The newest one, it was okay. There you go, The Bourne Identity.
