Nigel is that friend that nobody wants, but NEEDS! He tells you straight up and doesn't sugarcoat and we need those people in our life lol.

@jkjk8 3 года назад

Yeah, Evelyn is a bit negative and naggy. She projects a lot when she accuses Nigel of being the negative and stuck up one. It's actually her thats like that. Nigel is pretty self aware, communicative and sensitive. Sometimes I wonder if evelyn is intentionally misunderstanding him to try and tear downhis confidence in a passive aggressive way bc shes jealous. I think Evelyn is a pretty fake and dishonest with herself. You cant even tell her shes fat bc she doesn't want to hear it. It really is a health and mental illness issue you know. Outside of western culture- everyone knows this to be true. So then fix it.

They're nothing like each other. That's what makes them so perfect together. Kind of like how an extrovert who can happily talk a lot to an introvert who happily listens.

Nigel's a lot more secure about himself. Evelyn is a lot typical Asian who self-censors and checks herself before sharing her thoughts. They complement each other well. Good chemistry.

@Checkmate1138 3 года назад

I mean, I'm new here, but I think that Evelyn is also secure about herself and who she is. Good thing that Nigel is also secure, though. That's why they can work well with each other.

@@Checkmate1138 Not according to what I observe, Evelyn keeps checking herself and asking Nigel why you do things a certain way. Whereas Nigel just does what feels right to him. More instinctual vs more measured.

Middle age white guy here, I love the podcast. I will admit I spent a ton of my time in Asia (Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore among some places). So for me the podcast makes me feel less bad that I'm trapped in a country that is so badly ran no one wants us to travel anywhere. So I think you have a very global reach as many of us who spent time in Asia miss it and get everything you are talking about.

Anyway for me it is very helpful that you would actually voice out what you're going to talk about because if i have to be super honest i wouldn't know you were a chance to begin with because of your accent maybe in idols yes because i know him from before as a malaysian comedian but otherwise it will be i totally cool with point flying over my head .

Let me understand this: when people encourage you to change for the better it’s read as shaming, and you rebel. When people leave you alone, you change on your on. Hmm. Quite an educational fact of psychology.

Her opinions about society’s views on weight is so accurate,even in SA. Anyway,I look forward to the podcast every week and enjoy watching it.

So listening to your podcast is like being in the same room with friends as I got so familiar to your personalities. When you two brought a guest over, I felt like the podcast is educational I brought a boarder conversation. It’s nice to know who my friends (you guys) are hanging out with. It interesting to hear how the other Asian doing (without going to look for new youtube channels). Keep it up Evelyn and Nigel 😎💪 Loving Tuesday because of you.

@Ray-mm8xt 3 года назад

You are NOT hypersensitive! I've been told this numerous times when I was a teen and I was NO WHERE NEAR "FAT"! I was about 8st but I'm short so I look kinda stumpy. But even I had those comments of "are you sure you should eat that" and I never thought about it then, but now looking back, that was soooo damaging because at a young age I'd started to develope habits of not eating until I was home from school, and just eating dinner, and even making myself sick sometimes. So, Evelyn, my girl, I feel you💞

Hi guys really enjoying the podcast, I can relate to so many things on the show, I grew in ireland with my parents that ran a restaurant. So I can relate to everything that Evelyn went through and yes Nigel, 3 in 1s are a big thing over here, just wanted to share with you that i kinda grew up living on the restaurant food and what ever mammy gave me, so I ended up with a "spare tire" around my waist, but what really stuck with me was my best friends man who was also asian gave us a lift to the cinema and told me that I was too fat, and I had to sit in he front of the car, I was only 8,and really put me in a bad place I'm 36 now and dam that burnt! But yeah asian moms don't have filters lol love the show Gah Yau!!!

@Checkmate1138 3 года назад

That's so hard though, how can one listen and not try to help? Of course you're not meant necessarily to help directly, but it's such a burden to the other person to take on knowledge of how much their friend is suffering and that you shouldn't do anything about it.

There are many topics related to Asia to talk about.

You can ask your viewers what they want to know esp regards to culture... 😘

@da96103 3 года назад

I would have to say Evelyn is wrong in this one. A guy asking another guy for a shoetree is like the borrower acknowledges that the potential lender is sophisticated enough to have a shoetree. The lender is actually being complimented indirectly. And a guy with a shoetree would lend his spares to another because they know how important it is to keep leather shoes in shape when they are not being worn.

Body shaming is such an ingrained part of Chinese culture. Here in Singapore, the aunties or uncles WILL comment about your weight ("wa, you fat already leh") or even other physical traits, especially during family gatherings. But anyway, I love this podcast. The friendship between you two reminds me of one of my best friends and myself, so you could say I came for the rice cooker but stayed for the dynamics. The topics are secondary.
