Culat Vilaisak
It is the return of add to cart. I am your prodigal, prodigal, prodigal auntie. Cool up vilay sock.
Suchin Pak
And I am flying high, literally and figuratively because both of us are manning this plane solo with zero training. No manual in the plane to even refer to. This is true independent flying in the air.
Culat Vilaisak
Sujin, you don't. Sorry Suchin Pak. Of course you don't think doing a podcast for almost six years there was any training.
Suchin Pak
No, not that. None that really got in there.
Culat Vilaisak
Copy that.
Suchin Pak
I mean there is some muscle memory but if I were to try to explain what that is doing to achieve what end what cord is connected to what and if I unplugged this.
Culat Vilaisak
Or.
Suchin Pak
Or. You know how many AD breaks we were just taught? I can't explain it, but like a trained monkey, I can just go to my training, but I cannot explain why I do.
Culat Vilaisak
You move the lever and you get a treat. That's what it is. Wait, you hit that lever and you get buzzed. You get shocked. Like, that's all we can do, is sort of these base.
Suchin Pak
Rats in a cage. Yeah, rats in a cage. Clicking on an electrocuted lever for a treat. That's it. This is where we are. And now it's just us.
Culat Vilaisak
It's just us.
Suchin Pak
And the Carters know it because they're like, where the fuck have you been? And you're coming on now?
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah.
Suchin Pak
With no fanfare, no announcement, no pre. No, we're just coming on.
Culat Vilaisak
We're slipping back in.
Suchin Pak
Slipping back in. Hoping that you in the dark, hoping that you never saw us really leave, that you're delighted to see us here and you don't question our presence. Is that too much to ask after five years?
Culat Vilaisak
Things that the cardist and sue have missed out, basically missed out on since last we were on mic, you know, we haven't even gotten into this household. K Pop Demon Hunters, like, full obsession. I have come in and out of a popmart obsession. Like, there are so many things your.
Suchin Pak
Colors have changed my. You have literally changed everything that is you. I've seen it in real time.
Culat Vilaisak
I've seen it. I went to a pregnant Korean woman who changed the course of my life by letting me know, under no false pretenses, that I am a deep autumn. And of course, that is my entire personality. And of course, I had to add to cart to fulfill my life's work, my new lifestyle. Yes, that happened. Oh, no. You froze. Why?
Suchin Pak
Oh, is it me? Is you lost the kulak or did you lose me? She is frozen. But I could be frozen to her. We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by. I mean, for you to just fall off the face of the zoom and this recording in the middle of our most chaotic introduction to what this is, is right. It's like we script it.
Culat Vilaisak
You can't write that.
Suchin Pak
It's like we script it.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay?
Suchin Pak
And I would like to officially make a pitch for title of it. Okay, I will hear it now for title event. Quick little context. Before we got on this call, Khu said, you know, let's just kind of go over what our schedule could be. If you could scroll down to the tab that says new, even looser era.
Culat Vilaisak
And we're not talking about our vaginal floors?
Suchin Pak
No, because that's not new. And I scroll down, we have this, like, master worksheet that we work off of. It has everything on there, you know, past episodes, products. I mean, you name it, it is the flying manual. And then I scroll all the way down to the bottom where producer Koo has created a new little section, just a tiny section, and she's titled it in the Excel spreadsheet. New, even looser era, title of love.
Culat Vilaisak
Hard to believe title. Hard to believe. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Absolutely.
Suchin Pak
So why are we back?
Culat Vilaisak
What a great question, Sue. And I think maybe top of mind for anyone who has made it thus far.
Suchin Pak
You know what the thing is, and this is true, because we are no longer doing this other than for the pure enjoyment of Koo and I sitting down. It really has boiled down truly to that. We could be the only podcast in the entire landscape globally, where we are truly doing this because you and I just want to sit down and catch up.
Culat Vilaisak
We've given up on commerce, we've given up on a business, on capitalism in regards to this podcast.
Suchin Pak
And yet we sit here once again, here we go, pushing the red button. Why?
Culat Vilaisak
And I.
Suchin Pak
Why?
Culat Vilaisak
That's what? Why?
Suchin Pak
Why?
Culat Vilaisak
Tell me why.
Suchin Pak
Because we are two horny little aunties that just want to talk about all the shit that we're into. That's it.
Culat Vilaisak
That's it.
Suchin Pak
And so what I want to say is if you are still here, you're pure.
Culat Vilaisak
We're pure.
Suchin Pak
You're pure heart. You hold the white flame.
Culat Vilaisak
White master race. I mean, no. Oh.
Suchin Pak
I meant in sort of like the hobbit land, fairy tale. White flame.
Culat Vilaisak
Got it. Pure flame. Got it.
Suchin Pak
Yes, yes. All the stock of purity. You're right. God. God. Thank God. Thank God. We're really not on anyone's radar anymore as it should have been from the get go.
Culat Vilaisak
From the get go.
Suchin Pak
From the get go.
Culat Vilaisak
I mean, we were propelled into.
Suchin Pak
It was permanent and we were compelled to be entrepreneurs, business women.
Culat Vilaisak
But the second, almost the second that we decided to officially have an LLC is when it all came down, we.
Suchin Pak
Said, I'm not interested.
Culat Vilaisak
When we decided to call ourselves Aunties Unlimited, and then realized how very limited we both were. And the irony, of course, not lost on anybody.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, we've given that up and we are now here. This is the purest virginal form of add to cart.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right. You can become a virgin again, folks. So what does it mean to be back? Well, surprise, surprise.
Suchin Pak
It won't be weekly. Surprise, surprise. We Won't be doing weekly. It will not be monthly. I mean, we may drop two one month and then you won't hear from us for a while.
Culat Vilaisak
But won't it be nice for us to arrive to your home via your phone unannounced? Yeah, nice.
Suchin Pak
Has aunties should uninvited? Yes. Knocking on your front door when you're least expect it. At first you're like, it's not a great time. And then when you see the bounty of gifts we've brought in our wagon, you're like, God damn, I've missed you.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, we'll never take from you. That's not the type of aunties we are. You're not gonna sit down with us and feel like, you know, you've been depleted. No, we're not. We don't have any expectations. No, no, no, no. That's not who we are. Yeah, we're going to come with an abundance of product links still.
Suchin Pak
Television shows.
Culat Vilaisak
Television shows, all of that stuff is going to be the same. But now because again, we have no, no designs and getting like advertisers. It's going to be. It's going to be more, I don't know, unhinged.
Suchin Pak
I mean, deranged, Freer. I'm bummed that we used those words before. It's true. Because now it's lost its true meaning. I mean, this is. This is controlled chaos.
Culat Vilaisak
And the controlled is lowercase.
Suchin Pak
Like chaos is this capital gold.
Culat Vilaisak
There's an anarchy symbol.
Suchin Pak
You get it?
Culat Vilaisak
You get it.
Suchin Pak
Merch coming. It won't be coming.
Culat Vilaisak
No, it's not coming.
Suchin Pak
How will you ever know if in the future we will get our shit together? Hundreds of people, hundreds of Carters have dropped their email and said, whatever you're on, what ride you're on, take me with you.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay?
Suchin Pak
And I say again and again, go. To add to Cart World, we put up a free website that my brother, thanks to your brother, slapped up in about an hour. We are collecting your emails because there is a world in the future, perhaps in another universe, when we're going to be working on something that is massive, more permanent and more regular. And you want to be the first to know about it. Now, in the meantime, what do you think it is?
Culat Vilaisak
In the meantime, do you have any ideas? Do you or.
Suchin Pak
I'm gonna.
Culat Vilaisak
I'm gonna tell you that my mind right now is a whiteboard. But I'm just curious if.
Suchin Pak
Do you.
Culat Vilaisak
Do you have any inklings or even a hazy vision? I'm not looking for.
Suchin Pak
I know what it's not going to be listening. What is not gonna be a substack.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, we did sign up for it though.
Suchin Pak
But yeah, I know it's not gonna be Patreon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that. So what we're doing right now in this phase is knowing what we're not gonna do. But what I have to say to you now in the least the motivation for you to drop that email in there, besides the fact that you wanna be on this crazy, chaotic train ride with us, is Ku and I sometimes, at least I do sometimes I like to just scroll on there and be like, oh my God, look at these wonderful people who have so much faith and belief that we may actually one day do something. It's so validating.
Culat Vilaisak
No, I can't say that I've done that. Suchin.
Suchin Pak
It's so validating. You should do it. You should do it on a day when you feel like, damn, you know, like, what is this all for? Why does it matter?
Culat Vilaisak
I'll read aloud each email and say, bless them. Bless them. Bless them for their hope.
Suchin Pak
And I promise you, your light will shine brighter. I promise you. Coo.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, well, I'm always looking for that to happen, you know, it's so beautiful.
Suchin Pak
So the website is add to Cart World.
Culat Vilaisak
You know, it's funny that you bring up a Patreon cause we're gonna kick it to an episode. We, when we first recorded was intended to be behind the paywall thing. And I think you guys are gonna enjoy whatever in our minds. As young women months ago, we thought this Patreon was going to be. It'll prepare you, it'll set the table for what this is going forward.
Suchin Pak
To be honest, I can't even remember what I remember us recording and I remember the episode and I remember the topic. So I'm excited to listen. Let's just let me tell you.
Culat Vilaisak
I.
Suchin Pak
Am not only on the mic, but I'm on the headphones. I'm not only only flying the plane, but I'm also buying the ticket. If that makes sense to you. Again, affirmation. You are in the right place. All systems go. The universe giving you green flags. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if this is a self help?
Culat Vilaisak
No, I cannot imagine if it was how many then truly the patients are running the asylum.
Suchin Pak
The patients are running the asylum. Oh God.
Culat Vilaisak
No, I cannot imagine. I cannot. That's what Emi says. She everything is. I cannot. Oh, it's like a screed.
Suchin Pak
Oh my goodness. I cannot, I cannot.
Culat Vilaisak
I cannot.
Suchin Pak
Oh God. Starting from there. Woof.
Culat Vilaisak
It's like.
Suchin Pak
Wow, okay, you're in for it.
Culat Vilaisak
Uh huh.
Suchin Pak
Now. I mean, I always knew that she would. My kids would get to that teenage phase. By the way, Kai is not here. I'm not trying to say one is better than the other and I'm not saying that I love one more than the other, but what I'm saying, those are more advanced. Kai is not there. Kai is still. Say goodnight. He holds my hand. I'm like, oh, do you want to hold my hand still? Yep. Wants to hold my hand. Soe, what are you wearing? Mom at pickup. I'm like, they're shorts. Don't ever wear those. I'm like, wow.
Culat Vilaisak
Wow.
Suchin Pak
The other day. I won't ever share this text thread with one of my girlfriends. And she's Korean. I don't know if this will mean something to a lot of listeners. I know you'll get it. I say, at what point do I let my daughter know that I'm Korean? At what point do I pull the wig back?
Culat Vilaisak
That's right, pull the wig back. Pull the wool from her eyes, Let her know what her ethnic lineage is. At what point does AKA the shit hit the fan?
Suchin Pak
In her 11 years alive, she's only known once.
Culat Vilaisak
Caucasian.
Suchin Pak
Suchin.
Culat Vilaisak
Caucasian coded.
Suchin Pak
Right?
Culat Vilaisak
Suchin.
Suchin Pak
American flag. American flag.
Culat Vilaisak
Betty Crocker. Suj.
Suchin Pak
Betty Crocker. Apple pie. Soojin.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah. She doesn't know. She doesn't know where you come from. She doesn't know the streets. Yes.
Suchin Pak
So I just. And we both like this. We send these texts every once in a while because she also has a daughter exactly the same age and that's our code. And we say do is it today that I let my child know I'm Korean?
Culat Vilaisak
Is it today?
Suchin Pak
And it's not. She's too young.
Culat Vilaisak
But wow, that's a lot of care. And I, you know, honestly, I'm glad that we're on the record about that. I would almost ask Toni to clip that for you. So when it does come down, I'm gonna say around 13 that you'll have this as proof, as a bit of a paper trail of how much you kept it from her. Mindfully. Mindfully. When you of course, blackout and unleash.
Suchin Pak
You guys know many of you sitting there. Understand.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, sue, before we punt to a truly. It's it. It's very funny, sue, but why we just decided to have this topic to talk about. This topic.
Suchin Pak
Yeah. Didn't you listen to this very recently.
Culat Vilaisak
And you loved it. I did love it.
Suchin Pak
Oh God, this is going to be great. Tell them the topic.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, the topic is our middle age crushes. And it's just. I just. I wonder about us, you know? I wonder, are we okay?
Suchin Pak
I can't wait. Because the thought in this moment right now, sitting here, that I once had a crush on something, I mean, it's a delight.
Culat Vilaisak
I'm glad that you say something. Yours is a collection of someone's and a something.
Suchin Pak
Okay, that tracks. That makes sense. But before we get to that, I was like. And we were of the same mind because I texted this morning and I said, honey, we gotta give our thirstiest Carters just a little. A little add to cart, old school style. And we both agreed. Yeah, like, we can't just, like, go into this. This episode without just dropping what has been in your cart recently. I just. We haven't done this in so long. I'm so excited.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, you're so excited because, you know, the thirstiest of anyone is us. These aunties that have been sitting on these products that we want to talk about more than anything.
Suchin Pak
To circle back again.
Culat Vilaisak
To circle back.
Suchin Pak
To circle back. What are we doing this for? The purest form. The purest form. Because I just wanna know what she's getting into. And yes, we've been texting, yes, we've been calling. We've had a zoom even, but it's not the same.
Culat Vilaisak
It's not the same. It's not the same.
Suchin Pak
It's not steady. Check in. Yeah, I don't get the full juice. You know, I don't get all the different layers of flavors for some reason, unless I say sit behind this mic with you and have you hostage for an hour or so.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, sue here. I got a couple hero products that I think a lot of our listeners will be into. So I am thrilled to be bringing these to you. I got my colors done in K town, and it was amazing experience. And she not only told me that, again, I am a daughter. Deep autumn, a deep autumn who can't wear navy or white, which is a big chunk of my wardrobe. But she not only described wardrobe, we went into makeup, we went into different shades. And she got me further into, like, K beauty. And so I've been in a realm of loving, getting back into skincare, falling back in love with makeup. So that's kind of what my little quickie add to carts are.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
And through her, because there was only one place I could get one product, I have become an Olive Young. An Olive Young shopper. Add to Carter Olive Young's Number one moisturizer is this what I'm going to share right now to you, Suchin. It's the Estura ADO barrier 365 cream. Okay? This is their number one. And this is for.
Suchin Pak
This is.
Culat Vilaisak
It's. It's the time babies. It's.
Suchin Pak
We.
Culat Vilaisak
It is fall into winter and you got that dry skin365. This is the one. It is unscented, the faintest. If there is so faint. So faint. If there is even a scent and it goes on light, it is a game changer.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, I know it's a game changer because, I mean, I've heard of this. I have a sample right now unopened in my bathroom. Waiting for where?
Culat Vilaisak
Why are you waiting? What is the.
Suchin Pak
Well, I'm wait, because I'm gonna take it on my trip. Trip on it, because it's on a. It's in a little thing, so I can't wait to use it on my trip.
Culat Vilaisak
My second thing is we're doing quickies, right? Well, it kind of is related because I am on TikTok a lot. It's. These are my stories now. It's like less Instagram and more TikTok. I learned so much in. In about so many things. And when I'm on my, like, skin talk, the moisturizer came up a lot. So I saw it multiple times before. I was like, you know what? Let me try it. That's how I got. All my Pop Mart stuff is like, they're the various Pop Mart TikToks. That's how I got. Now everything is easy to get. But I would buy things during their TikTok lives. If my friends need things for their kids, Auntie Cuckoo can get it for them. That's what I have.
Suchin Pak
You've become the TikTok dealer? Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Yes. And I don't even do it for a markup. This is just like. That's like my purity. Pure.
Suchin Pak
We're pure.
Culat Vilaisak
Pure. I'm so pure.
Suchin Pak
Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
So along those lines, I've been being served by various influencers who are trying to get, like, commission a C brand, a Chinese brand of cosmetics called Judy Doll. Okay, sue, are you familiar with Judy Doll? Here's what I like about Judy Doll. Again, Chinese brand. These are prices that are drugstore prices, okay? These are your CVS, your Walgreens products, and when you purchase from TikTok. Now, I have links here, and we're going to share links. Wait, are we sharing links? I don't know. Hmm.
Suchin Pak
That's.
Culat Vilaisak
We'll tag Them, we'll tag them, rewind.
Suchin Pak
And listen and take notes like a normal human being. Before you were fed everything. Spoon fed by a team. You're gonna have to work a little on this version, okay? And it's not even that much. Okay. Just work a little with us.
Culat Vilaisak
There is a possibility that Suchin will put it in the description of this episode. Maybe.
Suchin Pak
Yeah. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
I don't know.
Suchin Pak
I'll do that. I don't know where that. How to put that up.
Culat Vilaisak
No, that's for Tony to do. That's not for us. But maybe we put in a production doc.
Suchin Pak
Tony, our engineer, our master wizard of Oz behind the curtain. He's got so much. He's holding the whole thing. He's holding the whole thing.
Culat Vilaisak
Look, I have the intention of linking it and you finding it.
Suchin Pak
And I have the intention of putting it up and you finding it. Now you know where good intentions for us have gotten us here. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
In this beautiful pure tent. Nowhere was I okay, Judy doll Sucha. They have this curling iron mascara.
Suchin Pak
What is that even? What does that even mean?
Culat Vilaisak
All I can. Here's the quickest way to explain it to you is that you and I love that mascara. The only mascara that we like would stand by is called. What, Sue? What's it called? The blue.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, the blue bottle.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah. What's it called, Sue?
Suchin Pak
I don't remember. But it's that blue bottle.
Culat Vilaisak
You don't need to remember anymore because this replaces that and it's cheaper.
Suchin Pak
And you're telling me that this does not flake run flake smudge.
Culat Vilaisak
Yes, yes, that is what I'm saying.
Suchin Pak
That does not.
Culat Vilaisak
And that's why I bring it to you. Suchin. Not only does it not do those things that you say it curls, but.
Suchin Pak
How does it curl?
Culat Vilaisak
I'm sure through some sort of slave labor like. But it does.
Suchin Pak
Does the wand heat up?
Culat Vilaisak
No, but the wand is metal and it's got grooves in.
Suchin Pak
It actually curls.
Culat Vilaisak
Yes, yes, it curls.
Suchin Pak
Cannot beefs fast enough.
Culat Vilaisak
And lengthens.
Suchin Pak
I cannot wait. It says free shipping over 59. I need more links to get me to 59. Will you send them to me later?
Culat Vilaisak
But also I implore you to go on Tik tok.
Suchin Pak
Oh no, sorry.
Culat Vilaisak
Can. Well, I'm sorry. Don't you want to save money?
Suchin Pak
I. Why wouldn't I go on TikTok and save my more money, less money and get free shipping.
Culat Vilaisak
Get discount and get free shipping.
Suchin Pak
Here's my pitch to you.
Culat Vilaisak
Do you want me to buy it for you?
Suchin Pak
I'll buy for you. For me? I'll bet I will Venmo you.
Culat Vilaisak
And the next time you're going to have to Venmo me like this will be 12 bucks max, when it's all said and done.
Suchin Pak
Okay, I'm not going to force the listeners to walk through TikTok and how you get that, but I want that tutorial later. Okay?
Culat Vilaisak
Actually, it's better that you aren't on TikTok because the ease in which you purchase things and how fast it happens, it's faster than Amazon. It's faster. And then it comes so quick, and it's like. It is like a drug.
Suchin Pak
That is.
Culat Vilaisak
When I was in my. When I was in my pop mart mode, it was wild. And that's how I got a $300 massive labubu, which I do not regret. But I was sweating afterwards because I felt like there was a gun to my head because there was a timer and so little stock. That's how they got you. That's how they got me. That's how they got me.
Suchin Pak
Anyway, these Asians, they don't f around.
Culat Vilaisak
They know. They know.
Suchin Pak
They don't ever around.
Culat Vilaisak
The Chinese don't fuck around.
Suchin Pak
No, no, they don't fuck around. They invented it.
Culat Vilaisak
Anything. But, Sue, I'm telling you that this is it. And it's a better price. Okay. No, I believe I'm just throwing it out there. I purchased it in brown because, again, that's what a deep autumn will do. That's what I want.
Suchin Pak
And the brown works.
Culat Vilaisak
Brown looks so good on me, but I've got some blacks coming, too.
Suchin Pak
Just because.
Culat Vilaisak
All right, now that I know it works.
Suchin Pak
Yep. Now you.
Culat Vilaisak
I'll also get it in black.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
And when I tell you, this wand, sue, this wand, this metal wand with grooves, the application, the. It's just. It's. It's outstanding. Outstanding.
Suchin Pak
Game changers. Game changers. Game changers. Okay. Okay. I got two quick ones, and I didn't know yours were going to be in the beauty category, so I guess this is where we're at.
Culat Vilaisak
This is who we are.
Suchin Pak
I'm going to start with the Violette. Now, Violet is a makeup brand that I have been obsessively following since its launch. I sent KOO one year, many years ago, a bunch of their stuff. Now, just in anti. Sue fashion, I, following. Following, have never purchased myself.
Culat Vilaisak
It's just so wild. It's just never.
Suchin Pak
Because I just. I couldn't. It's like, a little bit expensive and, like, I couldn't try it on. So, like, what shade? And so I scratched that itch by buying stuff for Culotte from Violet. And then I got the notification that they're now at Sephora. Wow.
Culat Vilaisak
So that means she can go in. That means she can try out my annual trip to.
Suchin Pak
I never go into Sephora. That place stresses me out. So I go in there with just the sole purpose of swatching every single violet product, you know, that they have there. And I walked out with a few things. But this thing, the Violette Lip Nectar gloss, which is also a stain.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay.
Suchin Pak
Now how does it work? It goes on like a gloss.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay.
Suchin Pak
And then as you eat, as you talk, and the gloss sort of like naturally, because no gloss is going to stay on forever.
Culat Vilaisak
I mean, maybe there.
Suchin Pak
There's technology out there that. That happens. I'm not. I'm not up to date on that. It leaves a beautiful lip stain. Really? I tried that stupid lip peel off thing.
Culat Vilaisak
That was viral. I was curious about that.
Suchin Pak
Terrible, Terrible. And a lot of work.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, yeah.
Suchin Pak
Who wants to do that? Who wants to put that on, let it dry for 15 minutes and then peel it off only to find that it's patchy? And now I've got this ring around my lip of brown lip liner, and I look insane. Or my lips were a little bit drier than I thought. And now I've got this patchy, flaky thing. This is a lip gloss that when the gloss naturally, over time, fades, it leaves you with a gorgeous stain. Wow. For me, these little things, your mascara, you know, a really great moisturizer that doesn't pill under your makeup, a lip gloss stain. These are little game changers for me because it's stuff that I'm constantly fussing about throughout the day. And if I don't fuss about it, or if I know, if I'm meeting someone for a quick coffee and I'm like, I've got no makeup on. Lip stain done. Yeah. That's a game changer for me. Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Wow. Okay, so I've already added to Cart the. Wait, is it sold out? No.
Suchin Pak
Fuck you.
Culat Vilaisak
Wow.
Suchin Pak
You got to go to a Sephora and you have to swatch everything there.
Culat Vilaisak
I bought other things I already know.
Suchin Pak
Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
My lady. So I know that for me, it's going to be this rose de Mobe Moab. The warm caramel.
Suchin Pak
That's right. Cause now you're an autumn.
Culat Vilaisak
Soo Jin, please. A deep autumn.
Suchin Pak
I'm sorry. A deep autumn.
Culat Vilaisak
It's different.
Suchin Pak
If I could read mine, my color, I would let you know, but it's it's that. Yeah, it's like a magenta pink. And I just have to say, I sat there swatching, I had a great time and I stand by what I said. I go into a Sephora with a very specific list when I do go in. And I try really hard not to get distracted. And so I can't personally speak for everything, but I am pretty damn certain that this makeup brand is the best, if not one of the top three best makeup brands out there right now. It just. She's really. I just think that it's innovative, it's modern, it's not fussy. You know, there's makeup brands out there that they're like, it's for, you know, little kids, it's for older women. This is just.
Culat Vilaisak
It's just.
Suchin Pak
There's no parameters. Just is what it is. She just does it well. And I think all of her stuff is really effective. So that's all I have to say. And I love it. I have a another quick little add to cart which is good light just launched a new cleansing grinder. So it's a cleansing balm, but it has that, the twist top. Have you ever seen that? And it comes out in almost like a shaving on top.
Culat Vilaisak
No.
Suchin Pak
So you don't ever stick your finger inside of a cleansing balm. You rotate the top once. If you've got just like not a ton of makeup on. Whatever. You've just been working from home. You grind twice to get a little bit more if you've got a little bit of makeup on and then three times for, you know, if you've been out and there's tons of SPF and the stuff like that on your face. Anyway, I just love that grinding mechanism because you don't have to stick your.
Culat Vilaisak
Fingers in and people sometimes companies provide those, those little spoons. Bless you. Even if I somehow happen to keep it, I'm not using the little spoon. It's just.
Suchin Pak
That's. No, that's sweet little dainty sweetie. People with hope, like we gotta. At night, we're just trying to get through it. And I love it's a strawberry shortcake smell. And I mean by strawberry shortcake, not the dessert. Coolop. What do I mean by strawberry shortcake?
Culat Vilaisak
You mean the toy?
Suchin Pak
Is that what you say? Remember when you used to sniff that little girl's head? It's that like a little sniffer. It's a little sniffer. Ah, it smells so good. Anyway, it's a fantastic product. It's a fantastic cleansing balm and I love it.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay. Wow.
Suchin Pak
I just saw it yesterday on sale, by the way, at Ulta. Don't know if by the time this comes out it will be. But you can get it on Good Light World or at Ulta. And that's it.
Culat Vilaisak
God, you guys, that's so good. That's it for our quick. Probably not so quick. Probably. Like you know what I just realized? What?
Suchin Pak
Is that this is the entire episode.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, that these are going to be bigger episodes going forward. Or maybe sometimes they're not going to be.
Suchin Pak
You know what?
Culat Vilaisak
I'm going to put myself in a chair right now and put myself in the corner. I need to stop trying to figure out what this is and just let it be. Why am I even trying to create some sort of packaging that makes sense? It won't. It won't ever make sense. And yet inherently it will.
Suchin Pak
You have to undo. Years of studying, college, years of being a productive human being. Years of working for a living. Years of fearing for your life and your livelihood. Years of attachment to productivity. Yes. Years of self worth and evaluation.
Culat Vilaisak
The identity of being competent is what.
Suchin Pak
We'Re doing here as new self help gurus.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, I thought we were saying that we weren't.
Suchin Pak
What I'm asking you to do is be more incompetent. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Surrender.
Suchin Pak
Be less productive.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay. Okay.
Suchin Pak
Say statements and make promises that you will never ever follow through on.
Culat Vilaisak
Uh huh.
Suchin Pak
Blake.
Culat Vilaisak
Blake. Okay.
Suchin Pak
Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
So that being said, there are no promises. Real commitments that are being made. Other than we are gonna do a couple of fresh holiday episod episodes coming up. Sue is going to lead.
Suchin Pak
Oh yeah. In a few days.
Culat Vilaisak
In a few days. Later in. In the month, I'll be going to Solvang. Not as cool, but I'm sure I'll talk about Yule Fest.
Suchin Pak
Okay, you gotta send me those dates. Cause Solvang is right over the hill.
Culat Vilaisak
Hopefully you will do a day trip and come see us. So yeah, we're gonna have a lot of things to talk about. Sujin is going to be doing a lot of shopping. It's like shopping for Christmas. But it's like.
Suchin Pak
Okay, sue, sure. That's what I told her. I said no, no, no. We can talk about Italy in our holiday episode. Because I'm going to be quote unquote, shopping for Christmas.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, shopping for Christmas.
Suchin Pak
Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Because everybody on your list needs something from a random hardware store that you and Annie are going to be going into.
Suchin Pak
Okay, when you get the bungee cords and the hooks in the mail, we can get them here. When you get Italian Made bungee cords and hooks. Yes, you can get them there, but you don't know from a picture on a 2D screen what the weight of the metal is. You don't know what the sound of the clasp is. You don't know how stretchy. How far can it stretch?
Culat Vilaisak
Is everything in your she shed, like, just wrapped with bungee cords. Like, the tonnage of just international purchases of bungee cords. I don't comprehend it.
Suchin Pak
I can't even tell you where one bungee cord is. I have a suspicion. I have a. I have an inkling it's in my giant suitcase in that front pocket.
Culat Vilaisak
Filled. Filled with. Bunch of.
Suchin Pak
Can't sell you for certain.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, so that's coming up. We have aforementioned, some previously unreleased bonus episodes that we intended to be on a Patreon feed. That, again, is not happening.
Suchin Pak
But you're still gonna get it.
Culat Vilaisak
You're still gonna get them because it's.
Suchin Pak
Like, yeah, we're still Asian. We got it.
Culat Vilaisak
We're not gonna waste it.
Suchin Pak
No, it's a good paper towel. Just the edges are a little moist. Just tear off the center dry.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right. So that means it's still good. So speaking of, here, after so much delay is one that absolutely should not be on any main feed. But like we said, we're independent and we are out of fucks.
Suchin Pak
Wait, and so now is there a commercial now?
Culat Vilaisak
I don't know, Suchin. Okay, there's probably a break here.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, sure.
Culat Vilaisak
And then, you know, then the old episode. Maybe there's a little. See, so guys, just sit back and, you know, get into the mindset of where we were. What do you think, Sue? Six months ago?
Suchin Pak
You don't even have to sit back and remember that. Just sit exactly where you are on the edge of your seat, clenching your toes as we talk about our middle age. Tiny droplets of moistness crushes.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, honey, I'm gonna give you a spoiler alert.
Suchin Pak
I don't.
Culat Vilaisak
They were not tiny drops.
Suchin Pak
Oh, really? God, I don't remember when I was that moisturized.
Culat Vilaisak
No, no, this is not that.
Suchin Pak
All right, well, see, even if. I mean, I can't wait. My toes are clenched. I got a cramp in my big toe. Just holding on so tight.
Culat Vilaisak
Welcome, Elite Carter. Step behind the curtain. Sit with us a while here in the dark? Oh, no, it's too dark. I need more light to see. Wait, wait, wait here while we brighten the room.
Suchin Pak
Okay, that's too bright. No, too bright. Turn it down. It's too bright.
Culat Vilaisak
Actually, I'm Light sensitive, too.
Suchin Pak
I'm trying to set a horny mood here, which means pull up. It has to be pitch black so I can't see my reflection on any surface accident.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, here's the tough thing.
Suchin Pak
That would ruin my mood.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, so what I think we need to do is put an additional curtain between us.
Suchin Pak
That's right.
Culat Vilaisak
So there's gonna be a curtain between the other curtain that we're describing with our.
Suchin Pak
You're talking about my kink, okay? And I just want you to stop, all right? Stop getting me so frothy.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, boy, oh boy. So today, sue and I are gonna talk about our celebrity crushes.
Suchin Pak
No, nay, not just crushes. What makes us hornay.
Culat Vilaisak
Yes, of course. I didn't know. I thought that was going to be the subtle subtext.
Suchin Pak
No, that's not to spread it.
Culat Vilaisak
Huh?
Suchin Pak
And I mean spread it. By it, I mean our legs.
Culat Vilaisak
Jesus, Soojin, we know that's what you meant.
Suchin Pak
We're giving it up.
Culat Vilaisak
But today.
Suchin Pak
Today, let's get back to.
Culat Vilaisak
Today we talk about crushes. Where this discussion goes, who knows? Who knows? We shall find out as well as well. Yeah. Look, Sue, I feel like you need to start because I need.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, all right.
Culat Vilaisak
I want to know. And we'll take turns, okay?
Suchin Pak
Fine. All right.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay.
Suchin Pak
That's me coming out of my coffin. See, we don't even need sound effects, okay? That's cause you didn't pay for them.
Culat Vilaisak
Eee.
Suchin Pak
I said this on the main show. Perhaps I was a bit shy then to delve into it. You know what I mean? I wanted to just keep it family friendly over there, but here I can sit down with a steak knife and a machete because the main dish on the menu is the star of Baby Girl, worst movie of 2025, Mr. Harris Dick. That's his name. He was born to be a hottie, okay? His name is Harry Dick. I can't make it up. I'm not that smart. I don't have those comedic chops. Harris Dickinson, number one. Had they kept his British accent in the movie, okay, that movie would have shot straight to the top. It would have been theater only. You know, you had to pre sale tickets. I do believe that his hotness is not really understood if you have just seen the movie because he puts on an American accent and it just takes away from it. It's only when you dive into his interviews, you get a sense of his. The. The tenor, the widow in his.
Culat Vilaisak
He's like. He's not posh British. He is. He is. He's a skateboarder. He is.
Suchin Pak
You're getting. He's a bad boy.
Culat Vilaisak
I mean, this is.
Suchin Pak
I'm about to part my curtain. Keep talking like that.
Culat Vilaisak
This is Bay Area Suchin girl.
Suchin Pak
Talkin' through Bay Area straight to the Lower east side of Manhattan.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, that's right.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right.
Suchin Pak
So if you haven't had the thrill of hearing his British accent, I'm gonna play a clip for you here. Have you heard Coolop, His British accent?
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna. Because I got a clip for you as well of hair, of Harry.
Suchin Pak
Let's just play it together to get in the mood.
Culat Vilaisak
No, that was improvised. That was improvised. I. I don't. I think it looks improvised, though.
Suchin Pak
It does.
Culat Vilaisak
It's not some like crazy elaborate dance sequence. I'm not really doing much. It's kind of just like a kind of drunk uncle having a little boogie at a party, I think. It's not really much going on.
Suchin Pak
Okay. So you get a little sense of the melody in your ears. Okay. And in this clip, he's talking about the scene, if you've seen the movie, where he dances. Now, it's a controversial scene. Some people love it, some people hate it. When it came on and I saw it, I gasped. Why? It's. I mean, I don't know, like, you know, it lit up all the lights on the. On the pinball machine for me. I don't know why. Now, lest anyone get it confused, this movie is trash. And that was a weird song choice, but I love George Michael. George Michael, I know, was my, you know, middle school crush. You know, I love him so much.
Culat Vilaisak
I love him.
Suchin Pak
And so that song was a weird song choice for this movie. But for me, you know, it. Somehow this feeling erupted in me and then shared with this hottie Harry dick. I mean, it just was like I didn't understand it. My brain wasn't online.
Culat Vilaisak
Well. Cause it wasn't about your brain.
Suchin Pak
No, that's what I'm saying. Like, it was. It was this, like under the magma, you know, that lava flowing that was ignited and I. Again, I don't know. This is. For me to have a middle aged horny toad, you know, my brain has to be shut off because that's the hardest, largest organ in my body that's pulsing all the time. And nothing gets past that old crappy bitch. So it's gonna really shut that down. And so I can't defend it is what I'm saying. In a court of law. I just know all my pinwheels Were spinning.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, yeah. And just to the side, I wanna say that one of my critiques of the film Baby Girl was like, people are like, oh, the music's so good. And it's like. Yeah. I mean, yeah, there are songs that we all know, like this George Michael father figure song. But to me there were such like obvious like jukebox choices. Like the most obvious.
Suchin Pak
That's the whole movie.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, I felt it was. I love that music. But it also the what they decided to do in those scenes was like cheesy.
Suchin Pak
This is the power of Harry Dickinson.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah. In spite of all the power.
Suchin Pak
That's what I'm saying. Because it's really hard. I am a lyrics person. For example, in a song, I don't care what the bop and the beep is. I don't care what the melody is. If the lyric is fucking stupid. I can't listen to the song. I mean, it's just nonsense. It's Ms. Rachel. I think Ms. Rachel is Lady Gaga.
Culat Vilaisak
Have we ever seen them together? Ever since she met a girl.
Suchin Pak
And it jokes on everyone. But I see you, Ms. Rachel. Cause who writes lyrics? That's right, Toni. For a two year old. But it is what it is. Is she one of the greatest singers of our generation? Yes. Was she born to be a mega star? Yes. Is she an artist? All of the above. But her music is bebop bop bop.
Culat Vilaisak
But I know for a fact you love the Bruno Mars song.
Suchin Pak
What Bruno Mars song?
Culat Vilaisak
The one with her and Bruno Mars.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, because those lyrics make sense. There's a story there. I could tell you the whole timeline of this couple. Where they met, you know, where they're going. They sometimes fight. There's a whole movie. There's a movie in there. It's a romance. Yeah, but I can't get with Abra, Kidnapped, Nima, Namah, you know, ooh la la goo goo, Gaga.
Culat Vilaisak
It's. That's what the lady in red said. Death or love tonight? I think there's also a story, I.
Suchin Pak
Don'T know again, that interests me. And so when I see a movie and the movie is bad, then everything, there's everyone in it is trashed for me.
Culat Vilaisak
I can't, can't go on. Accept, Accept. And I was thinking, I was like.
Suchin Pak
What is it about this basic white boy that just pins my wheels? And can I say maybe? Maybe it's once again. And we harken back to the gold necklace. Now you remember we went on and on about Paul Mescal in Normal People.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, yeah, of course.
Suchin Pak
And Hadi Muktadi. But was it just the gold necklace that he wore in that movie? I don't know. Like, would I have crushed so hard had he not worn a gold necklace? And then again, Harry Dickinson in this movie has a gold necklace. What is it about a man with a dainty gold chain that raises me from the dead? And it has gotten me into trouble. My entire 20s is a barrel of dog shit covered, wearing gold gold necklace. Ew. And my daughter may bring home one of these. And I'm gonna be like, please, fate, karma, on my knees. Take a limb. Free my line from this curse of the dainty gold necklace, your lineage. Because the gold necklace, it's never done me good or right good.
Culat Vilaisak
Do you ever watch Chicken Shop Date?
Suchin Pak
Yes, I watched his.
Culat Vilaisak
Did you watch?
Suchin Pak
I mean, yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, boy. I've seen this one multiple times.
Suchin Pak
Multiple times. And so have apparently a lot of ladies because it's, you know, it's a big one. Give me a guy in a gold necklace who is gonna have deadpan sense of humor, is gonna be a dick, is going to have merciless self criticism for everything that he does. And I'm there. I'm spreading the velvet curtain. Oh, I'm letting that in backstage.
Culat Vilaisak
Whoa. Wow. Security. Back off. I mean, I. Wow. Sue. I'm just gonna play a little bit of this Harris Dickinson Chicken Shop Date because, you know, like, I just think.
Suchin Pak
You don't have to ask me.
Culat Vilaisak
I mean, I think it's necessary.
Suchin Pak
I'll try not to mouth along. I've seen it so many times.
Culat Vilaisak
This is actually your favorite Lady Gaga song.
Suchin Pak
Do you think there's a misconception that all skaters are actually boys?
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, they're just trying to have a good time.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
But I wouldn't go. No, I just. There was one time I almost took my skateboard to a date and then I left it at home. I went back and was like, I should probably leave that.
Suchin Pak
Because you knew that I knew alarm bells were going to start ringing.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah. Yeah. Also, if you leave the date, then.
Suchin Pak
Are you skating while she's walking next to you?
Culat Vilaisak
That's a bit. Can you keep up?
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Right there. That's so hot. I gotta tell you.
Suchin Pak
That's so hot.
Culat Vilaisak
Him.
Suchin Pak
Him.
Culat Vilaisak
Off the cuff.
Suchin Pak
Yes. Off the cuff. Yes.
Culat Vilaisak
Singing a lyric.
Suchin Pak
Yes.
Culat Vilaisak
To Destiny's Child. Excuse me. Sorry. Excuse me. Sorry.
Suchin Pak
I see you. I see you. Harry Dickinson. Wow. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Just. Wow.
Suchin Pak
So that's my first.
Culat Vilaisak
That's simply your first and obviously corn.
Suchin Pak
Dog that I'm going to present for you in a bouquet of horn dogs today.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, so I think that I need to bring up. Because when you brought up George Michael, I think I realized that he's a bit of a blueprint for me. If we were to expand, I picked four gentlemen just for the sake of variety. But these are definitely probably up there for me. But if I were to expand it to like a top 10 or even a top 7, I'm going to tell you that the majority of them will be gay.
Suchin Pak
I just say I'm looking at your list now for the first time, and two of the four are gay.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right. And I took one. I actually had a list that one more that was gay. And I was like, we're gonna be hitting this already. I explain.
Suchin Pak
I need to hear. I. Okay, first of all, go to the first person and then we can talk about it in context.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, Jonathan Bailey is one. Jonathan Bailey, whom we know most recently from. From. What is it?
Suchin Pak
The wizard of Oz. Yes, yes.
Culat Vilaisak
I was trying to pull it. Yeah. What is Wicked?
Suchin Pak
Oh, wicked. Right, Wicked.
Culat Vilaisak
So he's the romantic lead in Wicked.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Of course. And he is in Bridgerton.
Suchin Pak
Okay. Yes, you are. You and Claire Bear, our old producer. Just Bridgerton, you guys. I'm quoting you both. You were sliding out of your chairs on that episode on the main feed. You can go back to that.
Culat Vilaisak
And I'm not like. It's not like I'm watching, like, it in a hard kitchen chair or like a bent wood chair to slide off a couch is meaning I'm, you know, quite frothy, slimy.
Suchin Pak
Okay, so you have Jonathan Bailey.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, so Jonathan Bailey. Let's just talk about Jonathan Bailey. He can play a dick. He can be. He can. But then at times, he can be so adoring. And he's very charming. Like, he's this sort of Prince Charming.
Suchin Pak
Isn't he also a Brit. He's Brit, yeah. I know these Brits. And he's. Again, he is gay.
Culat Vilaisak
Like, he is gay. But what a face, what a body, what an attitude. Okay. And then the other person I think you're talking about is Pedro Pascal, who has not been upfront about his sexuality.
Suchin Pak
No. Okay. Seems like he's doing everything but.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, he's been very supportive of his trans sibling.
Suchin Pak
Okay, but he's not.
Culat Vilaisak
But, like.
Suchin Pak
Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Upfront about his own sexuality.
Suchin Pak
Got it, got it.
Culat Vilaisak
I don't think he's been full of. But my understanding is that he is gay.
Suchin Pak
Yes, I think that is the consensus. Yes. So you have two gay men just Getting you all, I find.
Culat Vilaisak
And now I find Pedro. He's so funny, so fashionable. And I think he can play funny and drama really well. And he's just.
Suchin Pak
He's tall.
Culat Vilaisak
He's also so manly.
Suchin Pak
Like smart and strong.
Culat Vilaisak
And Pedro is so fashionable. Like, I love his fashion. Like, he's. He was wearing, you know, his little skin. Slutty, slutty glasses. His, like, yeah, of course, those are thigh high boots. And boy, does he look like just a dandy lumberjack. Like, he is so hot. My assistant for Christmas one year got me a T shirt that basically says, like, Pedro Pascal. And it's just all of his characters on the T shirt. We've all seen versions of this shirt, and mine is, I only have one of this and it's Pedro Pascal. And then Scott has, like, I think I haven't even opened. Let me get it real quick. Okay. For the second year in a row, Scott put in my Christmas stocking. Something having to do with Pedro Pascal. And this one here is a complete fan guide to Pedro Pascal.
Suchin Pak
That's the worst photo of him too.
Culat Vilaisak
On the COVID Yeah, it actually is the worst photo.
Suchin Pak
It looks like a sixth grade Spanish teacher.
Culat Vilaisak
That's true. But the thing about it is, he's that too, though. Like, that's why he's everybody.
Suchin Pak
Yeah, because he's also. He embraces the dorky side of himself. He can laugh at himself. No, he's hot.
Culat Vilaisak
He's so. There's just something about him. And I've loved him. When I first saw him was Game of Thrones when he, you know. Oh, look at him. This is a photo of him when he was in Game of Thrones. The roles that he plays, I just think he's just so compelling and interesting. I just think he can do it all, you know, look at these little sexy glasses. But he's just. I do like manly men. Gotta say, what's more manly than men who like men? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?
Suchin Pak
I mean, I think they call that man squared.
Culat Vilaisak
Great.
Suchin Pak
And I like it.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, so the person that I removed from my list was Lee Pace. Do you know Lee Pace? Lee Pace I first knew from the show Wonderfalls, which led into Pushing Daisies. But he's just this amazing actor. I think he might be British. Tall, handsome, striking, gay.
Suchin Pak
Just wonderful. Now, as you say this, you know very well I've dated so many gay men.
Culat Vilaisak
No, I don't know very well.
Suchin Pak
Have you never dated a gay man? No. Oh, Lord, I feel like That's a rite of passage for a New Yorker to.
Culat Vilaisak
Gay man. Yeah, I mean, I've. You know. No, I haven't.
Suchin Pak
No, I didn't.
Culat Vilaisak
I was never in New York.
Suchin Pak
Many a night when I'm sitting in a dark room with a man and realizing this man, they're gay, is gay.
Culat Vilaisak
But then what?
Suchin Pak
And then they're just in the friend zone. And then there's just someone that comes over and you listen to Jeff Buckley while doing recreational drugs.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, yeah. So you're not really dating. You mean you hooked up with gay guys? Yeah. Yeah.
Suchin Pak
That never gets that far. I don't know. Have I been in a full relationship with someone who could possibly be gay? No. No. I mean, Mike says he's the straightest gay man. Okay. Very, very in touch with his gay side.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah.
Suchin Pak
And I like that. Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
Well, I feel that. Like, I mean, oh, man, have I had so much fun in West Hollywood. And when you got jugs like mine, you're gonna get motorboated by everybody. And so, you know, I've always, you know, in that way, I'm such an ally.
Suchin Pak
The only way. Strangers motorboating you in public.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah.
Suchin Pak
What?
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And on dance floor.
Suchin Pak
Wow. That image is now seared into Miami.
Culat Vilaisak
Most recently in not last Miami, but the Miami before.
Suchin Pak
Interesting. Because you know what? It doesn't matter if they're gay or straight. Men love boobies. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
That has been my experience.
Suchin Pak
No, my bf, he loves boobies. I make fun of him all the time. I'm like, they all had mamas. Yes. And they still want their mamas. That's right. Okay, my turn.
Culat Vilaisak
Who we got next?
Suchin Pak
Okay, my second person, again, I've mentioned before, but we're gonna dive a little deeper. I have a chapter two. Okay. And I nominate Mr. One. Charles. Charlie. Chuck Melton, of course. Okay.
Culat Vilaisak
As he should.
Suchin Pak
So here are some of my updates. Okay. I taught. I loved him when in 2021, he wrote this just gorgeous, heartwarming essay. You have to look it up. About Asian hate crime. It just made me see him beyond the hunk that he was. You know what I mean? There was depth and all of that. And so this is part two. This is why I'm still on this train. Okay, Let me bring to the court. And we've talked about this on the main show. He stars in Jenny's Love Hangover video. We've all seen that. And he comes. It's the first scene. You see him. It's Charlie. He has a Magnum PI Stash. He's got tiny diamond studded hoops and a bicep hugging black suit. And I'm done. I'm saying, I'm saying spread that sandwich and extra mayo.
Culat Vilaisak
I just wish in my high school, Minnesota, we had a Charlie Milton. You know what I'm saying?
Suchin Pak
Oh Lord, I'm glad I didn't. I don't think I would have got started in life. I think I would have just been back there.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, you would. You would be like a Jenny Han character.
Suchin Pak
God, I mean, Charles, he's half Korean. What?
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, man.
Suchin Pak
Now the second update to my Charles Melton crush is that I didn't tell you this. Or maybe I did, but not long ago I volunteered and to be an extra on season two of Beef.
Culat Vilaisak
What? You did not tell me about this.
Suchin Pak
Because it was so random. A friend of mine who I knew from back in the day, she's a writer on the show, she texts me and she says, hey. And she's on Beef. And she's like, we're coming to film in Montecito. I want to have lunch with you or dinner. And I was like, great. She's like, actually, we need Korean people. Do you want to. Come on. I was like, eh. It was, you know, right down the street. I was like, I don't have anything to do. I mean, I guess. And boy, was it an interesting day in my character is that I am the silent. Because I was very specific. I was like, I cannot say a word on this. Was to be the silent assistant to one Ms. Yoon Yoo Jung. The huge, the Oscar winning, the Korean legend. Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
Wow.
Suchin Pak
I had no idea. She said show up. I showed up. And then this was what I was doing. And I just held her purse, by the way, her actual purse, which was interesting because I had a prop purse. And then she said, no, no, no. Go get my real purse. So I held her real purse. Chairman Yoon, real purse.
Culat Vilaisak
The bag man next to her for 12 hours.
Suchin Pak
Now, I also didn't know because why would I do one bit of research or ask one follow up question? Who has time for that? That Charles Middleton was in this second season. And the scene was we were all watching Charles Melton's character on a stage give a speech and for 12 hours. So for 12 whole hours.
Culat Vilaisak
How did you not. I mean, you were. This is exactly why I am assuming this will come out when we announce that we have a Patreon or something like that subscribing service. You held it for this exact right moment. This is huge. I think it's a Cute. I have a reason.
Suchin Pak
It was just another day Montecito for me.
Culat Vilaisak
And then, wow.
Suchin Pak
So then for 12 hours, I was 5ft from Charles Melton, watching him act. I mean, that's a long time. Some would say that's a beginning, middle, end of a relationship. So I dated him, my ex.
Culat Vilaisak
Sounds like what you described. Dating a lot of gay men was actually about to see.
Suchin Pak
Oh, this relationship is probably longer than any gay relationship I was in in my 20s and that is saying a lot.
Culat Vilaisak
So, thoughts on up close?
Suchin Pak
I am of the mind and I've always been because I know from experience you never want to meet your stars. You don't.
Culat Vilaisak
They're always. I mean, that used to be terrible.
Suchin Pak
Your job, and they ruin it. You will never be able to listen to that album. You will never be able to watch that movie, that TV show. They're always terrible. And so I was like, oh, Charles Melton. Well, I guess this is it. This is our defining moment. And for 12 hours I watched this Adonis. Wow. This thick beef jerky of a man.
Culat Vilaisak
No, he's not jerky.
Suchin Pak
He's plump. This, this chewy, sinewy, godlike creature. Be kind and funny and hardworking and self deprecating.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh my.
Suchin Pak
The MVP of the set. You know, he was running to and from the scene, obviously getting into costume and changing out of costume. And every time he'd go by the crew, high fives. Charlie, Charles. Charlie.
Culat Vilaisak
See, this is how you know Charles.
Suchin Pak
Oh my God. Blah, blah, blah. Like, oh, wait, I have this thing for you. Remember? Just everyone, MVP of the day saying hello to everyone kind. And I just stood there holding this Oscar winning actress legend's bag, burrowing my beady little eyes into his chest.
Culat Vilaisak
Was there words exchanged?
Suchin Pak
No.
Culat Vilaisak
Was there glances?
Suchin Pak
I mean, peripheral. I mean, I'm still having to do exercises. I had to. I stretched my periphery so hard I feel like I'm. My eyeballs are all still loosey goosey. At one point he had to take his shirt off and change into another shirt. And I said, quick, James, can my eyeballs swivel this far? We shall see.
Culat Vilaisak
She was like an owl.
Suchin Pak
An owl.
Culat Vilaisak
Such in the owl. Wow, sue, this is titillating.
Suchin Pak
Goosey goosey. And it's not often very small handful of celebrities that I've loosey gooseied and directly interacted with that I could tell you are as good, if not better in person. And he's one of them.
Culat Vilaisak
Can you name some?
Suchin Pak
I think I've named some. You know, it's. Again, it's Surprise to me. Another one. What's his name? He was in Dawson's Creek.
Culat Vilaisak
Pacey.
Suchin Pak
Yes.
Culat Vilaisak
Josh.
Suchin Pak
Josh Jackson.
Culat Vilaisak
Josh Jackson, human being.
Suchin Pak
And I interviewed him at the height, you know, at the height of his fame. He had no, no reason to be nice to anyone and also no reason to be that tall. Yeah, he's.
Culat Vilaisak
He's like a surprise hottie to me.
Suchin Pak
He's a surprise hottie. That one snuck up on me. I wasn't into that because I didn't watch Dawson's Creek until I interviewed him. And I said, well, I guess Josh Jackson is on my frothy list.
Culat Vilaisak
He lost his house in the fires. And I forget who he was being interviewed by, what talk show it was because you just look at him, but he was so. Never seen someone so charming.
Suchin Pak
Talking about personal tragedy dripping with charm. Anyway, yeah, so Charles Melton. Even though I brought him up on the main feed, what you guys are getting is the. The V2. And the V2 is. Is juicy. I had a full relationship with this man. Some would say he's my ex.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah, I guess I am.
Suchin Pak
Yes. That was your cue to pick up.
Culat Vilaisak
Charles Malton, your ex boyfriend.
Suchin Pak
Correct. I had a 12 and a half hour relationship with this man. Best of my life. Yes. Best of my life.
Culat Vilaisak
All right, the next person I think is somebody we both can agree on because I think we've talked about him in the main as well, which is.
Suchin Pak
Michael B. Jordan, Universal.
Culat Vilaisak
He's the.
Suchin Pak
He's the stamp. The USA stamp. Forget the flag that's still up in question. Let's just put Michael B. Jordan as the American stamp.
Culat Vilaisak
I first saw him in. Clear eye, full hearts. Can't lose. What's the. The. The. Oh my God. Why can't I pull the. The Texas football. High school football.
Suchin Pak
I have no idea.
Culat Vilaisak
What with coach blinding blind lights like. Ah, you guys know. Anyways, so I'm then. And then I'm just, you know, it's impossible not to like see his career just get bigger and him get more ripped. Simply get more ripped. You know, Black Panther, I mean, one could say he was so riveting. Just as riveting as. As the Black Panther was as well, because he's. There's an element of danger. There's an element of danger.
Suchin Pak
Is it Friday Night Lights he was in.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right. Friday Night Lights. Thank you. Not blinding lights. I apologize. Yeah, that's where I saw him first and then. Wow. He's just. He's smooth, he's intelligent, but he's also a little dangerous. I like that combo.
Suchin Pak
I mean, he was pretty buttered up in creed.
Culat Vilaisak
Yeah. Yeah, boy. Okay, do you have somebody else?
Suchin Pak
So my final horny rant has literally caught makooch. Okay, you'll know what I'm talking about. Coo. But you're also going to call me a hypocrite. Interesting. You're gonna throw rocks at my bare bosom.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, my God. I just looked at it.
Suchin Pak
I deserve it. I have fallen madly, deeply in love. I'm actually in a throuple with Mike, myself, and our new Toto bidet.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, just a reminder. When sue and I, you know, of course, we were friends before the podcast, but of course, we.
Suchin Pak
We.
Culat Vilaisak
We became officially married during, you know, five years ago, doing this podcast, and she came over to my house to take photos. It was like our.
Suchin Pak
Before we. Even.
Culat Vilaisak
Before we even began. Yeah. So we took photos, and she was over here at my house. She made fun of me.
Suchin Pak
I did.
Culat Vilaisak
She was almost. Almost upset. She wasn't upset. She just ridiculed how I wouldn't be able to survive in the wild because my vagina was too soft from the warm waters, the direct streams that was being hit. And also my butt cheeks.
Suchin Pak
Well, I was worried.
Culat Vilaisak
We were used to the heat.
Suchin Pak
I was also worried for you because I was at. The apocalypse is coming, and your butt cheeks have been warmed and watered for so many years. You're not going to survive out here. And now. So now I am a completely useless butt baby, just like you. Okay, we have only had this gorgeous bidet for a few days, and I am looking. I'm looking high and low for any excuse to use the toilet. So now I actually have come to embrace and find gratitude for my tiny bladder and loose pelvic floor because I get to be alone with my baby, my one true love. I don't know what any of the buttons do yet. And because I threw the instructions out and guess what? I didn't want to know, I wanted to go in there and push up some symbols. There's so many symbols, though, that make no sense. I wanted to push some buttons, and I wanted to be surprised. Like a lover with a mask, you know? Oh, wow. Like a. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just role playing. Go ahead. What are you gonna hit with me today, Toto?
Culat Vilaisak
Do your worst.
Suchin Pak
Do your worst. And so I've been enjoying. I hit a button today, for example. I thought it was the dry fan, but it wasn't. I don't actually know what it was doing, but it was making some noises. I found the fan.
Culat Vilaisak
I hope you have a sense of what it was doing.
Suchin Pak
I don't know, it was just. I feel like it was drying the toilet bowl. I was like, girl, oh, wow. Get off your knees. You're working too hard, Toto.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay, this is fancier than what I have. It sounds like.
Suchin Pak
So, you know, still working it out. And Mike has only pushed one button. We know what button that is.
Culat Vilaisak
For the butt.
Suchin Pak
For the butt, yeah. And so there's all these other buttons, right? There's. I think there's a, you know, button for. It looks like a woman, but like, you know, it looks more like a front backwash. And so he's been afraid because he's like.
Culat Vilaisak
He's like.
Suchin Pak
I don't know.
Culat Vilaisak
You know what I mean?
Suchin Pak
He's just a sweet little sweet pea when it comes to this. But he texted me this the other day. I screenshot it and I put it in the Google Doc. If you'll read the text here, behind the paywall.
Culat Vilaisak
So Mike texted you and said, I accidentally just washed my vagina. And you said, now you're not a virgin.
Suchin Pak
We are both horny little teenagers for this thing, okay? It has brought hope. It has brought a light humor. Every time one of us uses it, we come back and we say, you will not believe what this girl just did. You will not believe what she pulled out on a Wednesday morning.
Culat Vilaisak
The precision.
Suchin Pak
What a delight. I obviously sit here in a soup of hypocrisy.
Culat Vilaisak
Hypocrisy. Yeah. Yeah, you do.
Suchin Pak
But, you know, I sit delighted you.
Culat Vilaisak
Allowed yourself this pleasure, these pleasures, these carnal pleasures.
Suchin Pak
All right, so that's my final.
Culat Vilaisak
I mean, that's. Wow, that's wonderful. I sit smugly across from you, and we'll quickly end with this. My final middle aged crush is for the young man who will probably end up being the greatest baseball player alive, Mr. Shohei Ohtani. And we go to Dodger games every year. We are proud Angelenos. I'm not like, really big into baseball, but, like, going to the stadium is such a fun time. And when Shohei joined us, I was like, gotta. I gotta get some merch. I have like three Shohei articles of clothing.
Suchin Pak
The fan magazine is coming for Christmas this year. I hope he is tall. Like, he's tall, thick, he's funny, and he's sweet.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, gosh. And like that booty on that boy. The booty on that boy just leads.
Suchin Pak
To a python thigh.
Culat Vilaisak
Oh, thick thighs.
Suchin Pak
Love that.
Culat Vilaisak
His wife is like a basketball player. And like, she seems super cool. And like, I love boy energy too. Like, because I have boy energy. And so the way that he and his teammates makes sense. Like, why you like, I like, I think my type is pretty clear. Like, I need this sort of rascal. Rascal. Like somebody who's gonna like, you know, I mean, like, if you guys don't.
Suchin Pak
All by the pandemic. Your male friends are rascals. That's every last one of them.
Culat Vilaisak
Every last one of them are. We're doing pranks.
Suchin Pak
Okay?
Culat Vilaisak
We are middle aged. We're doing pranks. We're riding around in electric bikes together. Like, that's. We're, you know, Huebel. We're pranking Hubel. But you know what? In the end of the day, Hubel's in on the prank.
Suchin Pak
Like, we're pranking each other.
Culat Vilaisak
Like, that's.
Suchin Pak
Yeah.
Culat Vilaisak
So Shohei is just like, he's an amazing player and he's just so cool and lovable and hot.
Suchin Pak
I mean, that's hot. That's the cake there. That's the three layer sponge cake that we all want to eat.
Culat Vilaisak
That's right. I'll take two slices, please. Actually leave the entire cake in front of me. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you so much. And believe it or not, that's our show. There is no denying it.
Suchin Pak
You can do a lot of things. You can do a lot of things with your day now. You can go make a meal, you can jump up and down, but what you can't do is deny what just happened.
Culat Vilaisak
And it did happen to you.
Suchin Pak
So head on over to our Instagram account, which I feel good about where we're at with that. It's okay. Add to Cart Pod. That's our Instagram. And also to Cart World where you're gonna put your email there so that you can give us little boosts of self esteem and hope in our darkest hour. And that's it. That's all I can promise.
Culat Vilaisak
We're gonna put pictures of our crushes and the things we talked about.
Suchin Pak
I wanted to say that and then I was like, but are we.
Culat Vilaisak
We will.
Suchin Pak
We will.
Culat Vilaisak
Okay. I think we will. Okay. And we want you to let us know in the comments how you thought this episode went and let us know who your middle aged crushes are or whatever age you're at, whatever phase of.
Suchin Pak
Life you find yourself in this new, even looser era. How this tickled your tonsils.

In “New Even Looser Era,” Kulap and SuChin reunite after a hiatus, returning to their signature blend of heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply personal conversations—this time, in an even “looser” and more unfiltered form. This episode marks a turning point: the duo officially sets aside all ambition for regular production schedules and commercial success, focusing instead on their genuine friendship, the pleasures of catching up, and, as always, the things they’re “adding to cart.” As a treat, they also serve up a previously unreleased recording on their “middle age crushes,” moving from beauty and shopping recs to honest, effervescent thirsting over pop culture’s finest.
