“Marriage Fixing Show” CCTV Caught Husband Calling A Diff Woman At Night After Wife Went To Sleep

Summary

Moral Of The Story with Stephanie Soo

Episode: “Marriage Fixing Show” CCTV Caught Husband Calling A Diff Woman At Night After Wife Went To Sleep

Date: November 28, 2025

---

Overview

In this explosive, incisively comedic episode, Stephanie Soo regales her husband with the latest, absolutely bonkers scandals from the world of Chinese celebrity—focusing on the chaotic fourth season of the divorce reality show See You Again. The main storyline revolves around the problematic couple, actor/“Nepo Baby” Yang Zi and renowned actress Eva Huang, whose crumbling marriage is laid bare both by the show’s cameras and Yang Zi’s own pathological inability to prioritize his family over his ego and, seemingly, his seven phones.

Stephanie and her co-host (her husband) serve up biting commentary, recounting the drama that unfolds on and off camera: emotional neglect, cringe-worthy attempts at domesticity, wild narcissism, and the climactic moment when Yang Zi is caught FaceTiming another woman while his wife sleeps.

This is not merely tea-spilling—it’s a forensic roast of toxic masculinity, celebrity absurdity, and marital dysfunction wrapped in Stephanie’s signature snark.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Introducing the Unhinged World of Chinese Divorce Reality TV

• Stephanie explains See You Again: a show where faded/celebrity couples trial cohabitation and therapy to reconsider divorce.
• Previous seasons featured insane partners (see: haunted by "Mai" from earlier coverage), but Yang Zi outdoes them all.
  • [03:11] Stephanie: "Yang Zi... gives life to the concept of selfishness. He is so pure that he has not been polluted by knowledge, by self awareness—not even a little bit."
• Early in the episode, Stephanie admits a need to take a "break from divorce" after witnessing this couple.

---

2. Yang Zi’s Unflattering Origin Story

• Yang Zi is both a failed actor (~30 projects, mostly self-funded flops) and a notorious narcissist.
• Stephanie details an audition show where Yang Zi "method-acts" street harassment, leaving mentors unsettled, and is oblivious to criticism:
  • [06:00] Stephanie (quoting): "'When a fish cries, the water knows. But when I cry, who knows?' I don't even know what that means..."
• He leverages his wealth/nepotism to fund vehicles for himself and, eventually, Eva, essentially buying screen time and relationships.

---

3. Yang Zi & Eva: Relationship Dynamics and Toxic Work-Life Imbalance

• Eva, from an academic, relatively wealthy family, met Yang Zi young; their romance is cemented when he pays a million-dollar contract termination for her.
• He inserts himself as her manager, making major decisions for her without consent, leading to overwork and alienation.
• [29:30] Eva’s grievance: Yang Zi signs her up for multiple projects without consulting her, resulting in exhaustion and reputational damage.

---

4. Absurd On-Screen Behavior: The “Marriage Quiz” Disaster

• Couples must prove how well they know each other. Yang Zi and Eva fail spectacularly:
  • Neither knows their anniversary or basic facts about one another.
  • [35:31] Stephanie: "Yang Zi admits, 'I'm rarely with the kids. That's a problem. I'm aware of it.'"
  • Yang Zi’s only correct quiz answer: Eva's social security number (“the money stealer…”).
• Eva observes dryly, “Nobody would write no hobbies on a test like this,” after Yang Zi claims she has none.

---

5. Seven Phones, No Communication

• Yang Zi maintains seven WeChat accounts and phones, claiming it's to stay accessible for “friends,” yet never responds to Eva.
  • [25:46] Yang Zi (paraphrased): "I want every friend in my circle to feel like they can get a response from me. I don't want anyone to feel ignored."
  • Stephanie’s quip: Except your wife!

---

6. The Cooking Segment: An Exercise in Incompetence

• After ranking lowest on the quiz, Yang Zi is “punished” with a barebones “special room” and must live/cook separately.
  • He invites Eva for dinner: chaos ensues. He burns instant noodles in a wok, possibly starts a fire, and demonstrates zero kitchen skills.
  • [45:01] Stephanie: "He throws in the noodles fully uncooked… not cooking, just burning. He splashes water in the oil. That's fucking crazy."
• Eva, supremely polite, takes a single bite. Yang Zi accuses her of being inconsiderate for not eating more of his inedible meal.

---

7. CCTV, Contraband Phones, and the Cheating Cliffhanger

• Despite being required to turn over all electronics, Yang Zi sneaks a phone, gets caught fumbling to hide it.
• At 3:30 AM, after waking Eva up pointlessly, he’s later caught hiding in his room, covering up cameras, clearly FaceTiming a woman (not his wife).
  • [61:33] Stephanie: “He’s FaceTiming a woman with long hair wearing a V-neck. Dude, he is crazy. He’s on a TV show and he’s…”

---

8. The Group Dynamic: How Yang Zi Looks Even Worse Among Peers

• When the couples finally meet, Yang Zi becomes the punchline for everyone, especially when they learn of his abysmal quiz score.
• He pontificates about everything, but is quickly undercut by the “No-Chill Husband” and “Chill Wife” (the latter reveals herself as a professional skydiver, eviscerating his brags).
• He deflects criticism with nonsense folklore quotes:
  • [70:15] Yang Zi: "In the Boundless universe, when there's a problem, there’s a solution... We’ve seen eight immortals cross the sea..."
• The group calls him out for neglecting his kids and emotional unavailability; Eva is consistently poised but clearly exasperated.

---

9. Emotional Climax: Divorce Decisions

• Daily, couples check a card indicating “Do you still want a divorce?” Everyone else wavers, but Eva consistently checks “Yes”—with annotation:
  • [56:25] Eva: "I didn't feel any changes in my impression. He still reacts the way he normally does."
• By the end, even Yang Zi checks “Yes” for divorce, after being thoroughly criticized.
• Stephanie’s closing sentiment is one of exhausted outrage:
  • [83:27] Stephanie: "Everything he touches, I want to burn down. He's making me want to commit crimes..."

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Yang Zi’s Delusion:

• [06:00] Stephanie: "'When a fish cries, the water knows. But when I cry, who knows?'"
• [25:47] Stephanie: "Except my wife."

On The Marital Quiz Fiasco:

• [36:26] Stephanie: "She hit the nail on the head. Look at him. ...That's the right answer—he is the most afraid of losing money."
• [38:08] Stephanie: "The only answer Yang Zi gets right is Eva's Social Security number. As her former manager, agent, the money stealer..."

On the Cooking Catastrophe:

• [45:01] Stephanie: "He throws in the noodles. Fully uncooked. It's not cooking. It's just burning. So what does he do? He splashes water in to the oil."
• [47:53] Stephanie: "He tries scooping up the literal flames into the boat."

On the No-Chill Husband’s Confrontation:

• [67:48] No-Chill Husband: "Nobody knows me more than Yang Zi." (deadpan sarcasm)

On Eva’s Resignation:

• [56:25] Eva (card): "I didn’t feel any changes in my impression. He still reacts the way he normally does."
• [74:34] Eva: "Over time, I just became so… just more and more compliant and accepting of things, and then it became habitual. But I would love to change that."

Episode Tone

Incisively sarcastic, irreverent, and loaded with pop-culture references, Stephanie’s delivery is as much a character as the stories she relays.

She swings between exasperation, comedy, and righteous anger—using hyperbole, side commentary, and running gags (e.g., “the art of sleeping,” “seven phones, zero communications,” “money stealer,” “broom for the wok,” and foreshadowing even more chaos to come in later episodes).

---

Moral of the Story

There is none… except maybe that getting a divorce might be a wise choice with some partners—especially those who smuggle seven phones, burn noodles, and FaceTime mistresses on reality TV.

Next episode: More wildness as Stephanie continues breaking down the trainwreck saga of Yang Zi and Eva’s marriage meltdown. Stay tuned!

[Co-host]

And Agra.

[Host]

Here's the problem with having free will in 2025. Sometimes you just have too much of it. And then sometimes you forget that you have free will. And then you subject yourself to the same repeated torture over and over again. I'm back with See youe Again. See youe Again is correct. It's accurate. I saw them again, but I saw different people this time. And I would say that I was also pacing around the room, if you guys don't remember. See youe Again is the Chinese divorce reality show where three celebrity couples go on this two week journey to figure it out. If they want to stay together or they want to see you again, they want to see you fucking never. And I just want to say after this series, I think I'm gonna, I'm gonna take a break from Divorce for a minute because it's wait, but there's.

[Co-host]

Like a new season.

[Host]

Oh my God.

[Co-host]

I know, I know.

[Host]

Tiffany won't stop talking about it. And also like the more that I watch this season, the more that I'm like, you know what third couple that I used to call Chill husband and wife? Maybe you're not so fucking chill. Like maybe you guys are also insane. So the first series that we did on this was from season four, the same season and it was a couple called Mai and Lee. Lee's a famous singer and Mai is someone that suspect might have escaped out of my worst nightmare. She honestly might have escaped from asylum. She has somehow become a real life embodiment of my sleep paralysis demon. She has been haunting me since I started that series. I was pacing the room at how frustrating she was even to to just watch to survey, to watch with my eyeballs. Now here's the problem, though. People say if you were to rank the individuals from season four from best to. To worst, right? My. The one that had me in cold sweats on my office desk, she would rank second to last. She's not even the worst. The worst goes to a guy named Yang Zi.

[Co-host]

Yang Zi?

[Host]

Yangzi. This is the man that gives life to the concept of selfishness. He is so pure that he has not been polluted by knowledge, by self awareness, not even a little bit. And it is a shame that I have very strong WI FI connection and very little self control because I would like to not witness this man's destruction. I wouldn't. I've got other things to do. But apparently not, because I've watched every second of it out of pure intellectual curiosity and nothing else. So for that, I shall bestow upon you the great pleasure of getting to know none other than the king of dads, Professor Yang Zi.

[Co-host]

King of dads.

[Host]

That's what they call him. The king of dads. Yeah. And spoiler alert. He's the worst dad I've ever seen in my life. Okay, but he's dadding all the time, but not in a daddy way. He's the guy that gets caught facetiming another woman on a celebrity reality divorce show. I'm so frustrated.

[Co-host]

What do you mean, like a lover?

[Host]

It seems like it. It seems like it. I. I have to give you background on this guy, otherwise it's not gonna make any sense. Young, if you guys watched our acting show, this. This acting show was my only ray of light. When we were in New York for the trial for, like, months, okay? The RM team and I would sit there and watch this acting show, and the one time that we would get frustrated, we'd have to fast forward some of Yang Zhu's parts because he's. Let me just describe, okay? So the first opening scene of this acting show, the first episode, all of these newbie actors. Because you're not.

[Co-host]

Different show.

[Host]

This is a different reality show talked about that he was on. And this was my first time getting to know this motherfucker. And let me tell you it. My displeasure. Okay? So I'm watching this show and all of these newbie actors are coming in here. And you know what? This show was cursed from the get go because there's another connection to Yumang Long. Anyway, anyway. Cursed, cursed. Okay? This season is cursed. So then he's on there, and everyone's supposed to be acting in, like, it's like an improv thing, but it's weird because you're, like, improving. But these judges just, like, walk around in real time. And there's an idol pretending to be a cat. There was couples fighting. It's like a performance city. And he decides, hey, what's, like, the best thing that I could probably do? What could I act out so naturally that it just, like, really hits home because I sell it so well? I'm going to sexually harass a woman on the street. That's young. Just great idea. All the mentors are so uncomfortable. One of them is pulling her coat just, like, closer and closer to her neck, looking in disdain. Everyone feels uncomfortable.

[Co-host]

He was playing acting a pervert.

[Host]

Yeah, Chester the molester. That's what he was doing on this improv show. And it's like he was kind of pulling it off so well to the point where netizens were like, wait, I'm really freaked out by this. Okay? So then he goes online, and he's very upset with that. This is young to science. He says, hey, I should have been the top rated actor for that scene. Think about it. Think about it. You know what I mean? Nobody liked my acting, and that's unfair to me because a scene of my character teasing a woman on the streets, did I not act well? Didn't everyone feel psychologically uncomfortable then? Doesn't that mean I acted it well? In my heart, I am actually even more dramatic than everyone thinks I am. When a fish cries, the water knows. But when I cry, who knows? I don't even know what that means. When the fish cry, the water knows. But when I cry, who knows? Help. What is that a Chinese, like, saying? Is that like a prophecy? What is it? What?

[Co-host]

I don't know, honey.

[Host]

Okay, the best part of all of this is this is an acting newbie show, okay? This motherfucker is a veteran. He has acted in at least 30 films and TV dramas. He's out here with people who just make skits for TikTok, and they're like, yeah, I really want to break out into acting. This guy has been in 30 different productions. His name stays on. The credits roll like it's a fucking template that you can buy on Canva. However, almost all 30 films have an average rating between 3.2 to 5 out of 10 out of 10. One of his first movies, when it hit the box office that weekend, 21 people watched it, the box office grossed $12.14. But he getting booked more roles, It's a mystery, right? It's a Mystery. Then you look into it. Guess who's paying for these movies?

[Co-host]

Yes, he is.

[Host]

And he's the only one watching them too. Some people thought that these movies were actually just his way of setting up ways to kiss, like, massive female actresses. Like, top female actress stars. Like, oh, yeah, yeah. His acting is okay, so I'm going to give you his. You'll know how he's acting because he has the very signature move. Have you seen those Tiktoks where it's like when bad actors start every sentence with a huff? Do you know what I'm talking about? Like, no, just. I don't know. I. I haven't seen her since last summer. Do you know what I mean? Or they're like the ones who like, fake a stutter or the ones who shake their head nonstop. Okay, it's giving Khalel. No, bro, I watched Gal Gadot's like, bad acting compilation recently. Listen, she's got other problems in her acting. But anyway, have you hear. Have you heard Gal Gadot speak Chinese?

[Co-host]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, I did not hear.

[Host]

Okay, Someone said her speaking Chinese sounds like Dothraki, the Game of Thrones made up language. Anyway. Okay. Nevertheless, Yang Zi also has his own signature style. It's 50% Botox. So all the Botox is on the left side of his face. And he just like, smirks the right side. Like, what did I say about that? Like, just smirking the right side. Perpetually, unsurprisingly, not successful. But he does end up finding love with a massive female actress by the name of Eva Huang. Eva Huang was one of the top female actresses in China. She's very talented. And before anybody accuses her of being a gold digger for only falling in love with Yang Zi for his money, she's actually pretty wealthy. Okay, maybe not not as rich, but her parents are from academia. She's a very strong person. Even in Interviews Back from 2004, this is like the height of people wanting soft girls. She straight up says, I have my own theories and views in life and I'm pretty stubborn. Like, it's very difficult to convince me otherwise. But everything kind of goes out from under when she has to get out of a contract with her agency. It's a million dollars to break that termination. She's 22. She's not getting booked roles because the agency is like, if you're not going to be with us, then we're not going to book you roles. You're not going to make any money, so you're going to be A sitting duck for the next, like, 10 years. And then no one will even remember you in 10 years and your career is effectively over. Well, guess who comes in and pays for the termination fee.

[Co-host]

Daddy Yanzi.

[Host]

Daddy Yang Zi. Okay, so neither of them confirm the dating early on. Eva keeps saying he's a good friend. Young to keep saying he's her manager.

[Co-host]

So Yanzi is. He's an apple baby.

[Host]

Yeah, Right.

[Co-host]

Is he family? Very, very wealthy or.

[Host]

Okay, when I was like, researching it, family's so wealthy. Right, but then the way he leeches on Eva, I don't know, it makes me question. Okay, so at this point, he's 30, she's 22, and he thinks the best way to debut their just romance is through the screen. So he funds a movie where both of them pay the play the lead love interest. Just imagine you're dating a guy and he's like, I'm going to fund a movie and you're an actress. I'm an actor. Okay, what do you think the plot of this movie is going to be? Because I want the world to know how much I love you. Like, what should the plot be? What do you think is the best thing that's gonna sell? Yang Zi plays a powerful rich man who takes Eva's V card. Then. Then he starts manipulating her mentally, gaslighting her, spreading R about her, torturing her mentally until she wastes away and dies.

[Co-host]

Is this like a thriller? What is this?

[Host]

I don't know what it is. It's a psych. See, that's the thing. Guys are always like, ew. Girls love dark romance. They're sick and twisted in the head. I'm sorry that we think male characters who save us from danger and will protect us from physical, emotional, and yes, sometimes financial harm are hot. But at the end of most dark romance books, it's like a very cute ass, normal ass family. Okay? The guy retires from the mafia so that he can be a dad to their 29 children. And they're still doing it because married life isn't gonna make them cool down. And they're still hot and steamy. But also they like, really love each other on a profoundly deep level. Even though they've said like three sentences to each other. The entire 329 page free Kindle unlimited smut book.

[Co-host]

Okay, we know who's been reading what now.

[Host]

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but when guys create dark romance, the girls die at the end. The girl dies at the end. What do you mean?

[Co-host]

Did she come Back as a ghost.

[Host]

And they start doing it as a. No, no, she's dead. And the credits roll. I mean, you need to really be like, evaluated in a federal facility. Okay. But that kick starts their on screen chemistry, if you would call it that. I'm dogging on them, but I'm really just dogging on Yang Zi. He's funding it. I'm sure he's the one creating these storylines. Eva is a phenomenal actress and he's just. He's just. I don't know what he is. Okay. Their most famous work though is the Fairy Couple. There are seven fairies in Chinese folklore.

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Host]

Also, I realized something has been happening to me recently and I gotta chill. I gotta stop. But every time I think back on, like all these like, old Korean folk tales my parents used to tell me about when I was a kid, now that I look back at it, I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute. Okay, so basically this. They recreated a movie of one of the fairies, the youngest fairy. The story goes like this. Main male lead, hard working man, but has to work out of poverty to pay for his dad's funeral. Okay. Not making a lot of money. Honestly, it's bad. 7th fairy from heaven sees this all play out on earth. She's watching, I don't know, 8 billion people. And she's like, that one, that one right there, he's not even hot. She's so touched that she descends from the skies, marries him in secret, and works selling her magic to give him the money so that he can repay his debts. I'm like, hello, are you a pimp? What's happening right now? Okay. But then her dad finds out, summons her back to heaven, so they have to break up. So basically this guy just wins the lottery. Like, what part of this is romantic? It feels like forced labor. That's what it feels like. Okay, I'm kidding. But I have beef with Yang Zi and I'm letting it taint my perception of everything. I feel like the original folktale is probably very romantic and very heartfelt and moving, but the way it plays out in this drama is like the most insane, insane, gnarly shit I've seen. The way that he just leaves his mark on the entire script. He scripts it so that all the other six fairies, who's the sisters of this seventh fairy that he falls in love with, they're all jealous that the littlest sister gets to marry this random ass human.

[Co-host]

No way.

[Host]

Yeah. And I'm like, bitch, if I'm a fairy, I would Be chuckling. I'd be like another human. That's crazy. You know they die in like 70 years, right? Like, I would just be cackling. Okay. But they keep saying things like, I wonder if my brother in law has any brothers. I'd like to marry one.

[Co-host]

What?

[Host]

Oh my gosh. Okay, like Yang Zi is Huang Xiaoming without the audience. Like in private. Like he's doing private, very expensive private.

[Co-host]

Acting dissing on both of them. That's crazy.

[Host]

Two birds, one.

[Co-host]

I don't know who's worse. Damn.

[Host]

Actually, that's funny because when you read all the comments of this show, they go, why haven't Yang Zi and Yakook gotten together? All the comments are like someone linked them up together. Someone introduced them. Other lines from this drama are like this. Although he only wears rags, he carries himself with such dignity, gentle and refined. At one point, the Jade Emperor. So the Jade Emperor is the dad of the seven fairies? Yeah, he's the daddy. Okay. At one point he's like, now I finally understand why my seventh fairy would break Heaven's law again and again and again and again for him. Sir, I wouldn't even jaywalk for this man. Da virc. Okay, this film is Brainwashing 101. For example, in the movie, there is a scene where Yang Zi gets his wife pregnant and she's craving sour tangerines. She's craving sour tangerines. Have you ever met a pregnant person with a pregnancy craving? It's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life. My sister was pregnant two times and I still have nightmares about this when she would get a pregnancy craving. I feel like you think hangry is bad. A pregnant woman with a pregnancy craving? She will eat our heads off. Like, I feel like she was ready to tear people apart until she got like her random ass Taco Bell combination with like the most random side condiments. Nobody was having a good time. And you know what? She deserved it. She deserved every single bite of that Taco Bell. Like, she deserved whatever she wanted when she was pregnant. Anyway, he goes out, buys a bag of sweet tangerines. Oh, if I want sour candy and you bring me a bag of Skittles, I will commit gender based hate crimes because I would do the same thing. If my husband wants our candy, I'm getting the man sour candy. I'm not bringing home M M's. He doesn't even like sour candy. But you get the point. He convinces his wife. No, no, no, no, babe, how could I let you My pregnant wife eat these toothachingly sour tangerines that you asked for. I know that you only asked because you didn't want me to waste more money on the sweet ones. Because the sweet ones are more expensive. Here, eat the sweet ones.

[Co-host]

This is giving. I don't want what you think.

[Host]

Yes. I'm telling you, they're the same people. Okay. And then he would pay, pace around his pregnant wife in the show, and he would say things like, please let it be a son. Only then can the family line continue. Only then will I be worthy in front of ancestors.

[Co-host]

Oh, you know what I just realized? A lot of these romance books you read.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

Are all written by women.

[Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host]

So these male leads, like these CEO or whatever, are written by women. Now these drama, they're badass CEOs.

[Host]

Yes.

[Co-host]

But they're written by dudes.

[Host]

Yay.

[Co-host]

So it's just so cringy, right?

[Host]

It's so cringy. Okay, so I'm just telling you, I feel like if you need help in the dating sphere as a straight guy, read some romance novels written by women.

[Co-host]

Read some smut.

[Host]

Yeah. You know, sometimes I'll lay in bed and he'll read me some smut out loud. And then he'll be like, what are you reading? But he doesn't judge. Okay? That's rule number one. He also tells his wife that he likes when she's blushing, but he's too broke to buy her blush. I'm just saying. Then you don't get blush. What? But he convinces her to drink wine because natural blush will bloom on her cheeks after a sip. And she's pregnant. This whole thing is goofy. This whole thing is goofy. It prompts people to leave even goofier comments. One person writes about this drama and about Yang Zi. This character not only has a shoehorn shaped fucking face, but also an underbite. Whenever he talks, he slightly shakes his head like an elementary school student reciting a textbook.

[Co-host]

They're personally attacking his look, y', all.

[Host]

But you're gonna die. This is actually probably one of the nicer hate comments I see. Listen, when people attack my looks and y', all, sometimes I see some of the really mean stuff you guys say. Okay? I ignore it, but I see it and I feel it. Attacking the looks is like the least of the concerns. But Yang Zi, not Yangzi. This one. Our prince decides this is a personal, very personal attack. He comes out to tell the public about this specific comment. No keeping him up at night.

[Co-host]

No way. He picked out a Hate comment.

[Host]

This one, the shoehorn, shaved face with an underbite.

[Co-host]

So funny.

[Host]

And he said, my mom read that.

[Co-host]

She started laughing.

[Host]

She got so upset that she cried. She called to ask me, does the government not care about such vicious comments? Is that what people admire about the entertainment industry? This is what we want. She was so distraught, she called for a family meeting, like an entire board meeting with the family to talk about it. In another drama, Eva is the prettiest girl in the school and the guys are chasing after her. This is College. They're all 19 year olds. Okay, reminder. They're all 19 year olds. Eva has the Pretty Little Liars effect. She's got the Vampire Diaries effect. What does that mean? That means she's 30 playing a 17 year old high schooler. It's fine. She looks 17, she looks 19. It doesn't matter, okay? The entire drama series, honestly, it does. Pretty, right? Yang Zi is not in it for most episodes. And it's like the whole plot of this is like very good acting. Delivery of lines, absence of smirking. All these guys are fighting for Eva. She's like the most popular girl in the school and she's like debating between which one to choose, which one to choose. Until the very last second to last episode, a guy walks into frame. Trench coat collar popped. I said, who is that a professor? Is that an administrator? Is that Eva's dad? It's Yang Zhi, a man in his mid-30s playing a 19 year old transfer student. Oh yeah.

[Co-host]

No fucking way.

[Host]

He looks like a fucking parent. He looks like. He complains every morning about how something is wrong with his back and he must have just slept weird. And then everyone else in the room is like, well, you say that every morning, so you might just be fucking old, okay? He says he doesn't know. He thinks it's the sleeping position. He swaps out five different mattresses. And you're like, at this point, just admit it, you're getting old. And that's okay. Everybody ages. He looks like he's had multip colonoscopies because he's reached that age where it's important to be vigilant. But no, he's playing a 19 year old. Like he looks so old. I'm so sorry. He looks very old. I know some 30 year olds, like they'll play 19 year olds on camera and it works. It was giving. It was really creepy. This is just the drama on the camera, off camera. In 2015, Yang Ji and Eva go viral because Yang Jie's dad died. Paparazzi follows them to young Zhao's dad's funeral, and they see a little baby sitting next to them. And they're like, who the f. It's their son. Turns out they've been married for years and they have a son. And for a really long time, everyone thinks, well, if they're happy, it's like Hong Xiaoming and Angelababy, domineering, bossy CEO Nepo Baby, and then his loving, quieter wife who's focusing on her own, like, career. But out of nowhere, the two of them end up on season four of the divorce variety show. See you again. Eva mentions. She drops some bombshell. She says, actually, we've been separated and not living together for years at this point. They haven't even been in the same room for a really long time, okay? And this is the third year that she has been telling him that she wants a divorce. The producers, the very first episode, all the couples, they don't see each other, so they each get a house in the same compound, but they don't mingle, so they have no idea who else is there. Eva is escorted into her house first, and then she's waiting for Yang Zi. Yang Zi walks in. It's very awkward, okay? It's like two penguins trying to avoid waddling into each other the whole time. They just look uncomfortable around each other for a married couple. And the first meme to come out of this relationship is they have, like, the little producer on camera moments where they're sitting on a chair talking to the producers and to the camera, and it's Eva and her seven husbands. Evelyn Hugo and her seven husbands. That's the vibe. Just to give you a context, okay? Eva has a group chat with her and her seven husbands. Because, Yanza, I know this has seven phones, and he has seven separate WeChat accounts, right? So I was like, why would one need seven separate WeChat accounts? Which is like WhatsApp. It's like a kakao talk, right? And because on WeChat, you can only have one number per WeChat account. Like, you can only register one WeChat account for your one number, right? And once you do that, you can only have 5,000 friends that you can add to your WeChat.

[Co-host]

That's thousand contacts.

[Host]

5,000 contacts. And then you max out. Nobody ever maxes out. Nobody. One number. You don't max out 5,000 people. What could you possibly do be doing? 5,000 people.

[Co-host]

He has seven phones. Yes, 35,000 contacts.

[Host]

So he. He made a group chat with eva and his seven different WeChat accounts, just in case he doesn't have the phone on him that she's trying to reach him. It's a group chat. Crazy netizens are cackling. They say whenever Eva sends him a message, all seven of his phones light up. There really is no excuse for him to not reply to his wife. Another one Comments. It's the fact that when you look at screenshots, Eva is not the admin of the account of the group chat.

[Co-host]

He made it.

[Host]

He made the group chat. But that also means that she can't tag everyone easily or something like that. They're just saying when you're not the admin of a group chat, it's like really annoying. So, like, there's just a lot of extra things Eva has to do every day. It's just. Okay. So seven phones, a group chat. He still never responds to Eva. He says, I get a few hundred messages every day. Every day. My personal principles in life is that I want every friend in my circle to feel like they can get a response from me. I don't want anyone to feel ignored.

[Co-host]

Except my wife.

[Host]

Yeah. I want anyone to hold resentment toward.

[Co-host]

Me except the mom of my kid.

[Host]

Yes. Because you know, Eva, even if I upset her, there's. I have chances to make her feel better and make it right. But with some friends, if I miss that one interaction, there might never be another interaction to repair the relationship. And you know what I'm thinking?

[Co-host]

What's wrong with this guy?

[Host]

I'm thinking, that's not friendship. That sounds like you're talking to girls. Because friends would be like, guys don't care if you don't respond to their text message.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that's so weird.

[Host]

[Co-host]

Where do you even add these amount of people? Like, does he just anybody he runs into, like, every person that he comes across, like, here, here's my WeChat.

[Host]

Oh, he's probably meeting people online. Oh, oh, Okay. So he's asked about the last thing that Eva posted onto her social media. He says, I have not even a clue. Not even one clue. He said he has so Many friends. Her posts never show up on his feed. Okay, but the infuriating part is Eva is telling the producers that one of the reasons that she wants a divorce is. And I feel like this is very sensitive for some people, but she says that she married Yang Zi because he was a man that could lead and she felt safe. Like she met him when she was very young and he was a leader in the relationship and she felt very secure to follow, follow his instructions. And then he just starts abusing his power and being a full blown idiot. He starts signing contracts for her without even thinking about her. So he's her agent and he would sign like three different acting roles at the same time without asking her, without consulting her schedule, without getting her permission. And at one point, because of the contractual obligations, she would sleep like two or three hours a day. That's it. For like a year. And people, all of her co workers, hated her because they thought that she was the one that was just money hungry and she didn't really care for any project. She was just doing it for the money. Money. I don't know what he's doing, okay? I don't think this man has a job. And everyone was just blaming Eva for all of this. He's an asshole. He's just such an asshole. There is a clip of a reality show that both Young Zi and Eva were on where he says, I tell Eva all the time that most stars are uneducated. The earlier you become a star, the more uneducated you are.

[Co-host]

What does that mean? Like, he's trying to tell.

[Host]

He's saying celebrities, actresses, actors, they're dumb. He's saying that as he's trying to be an actor in the entertainment world, sitting next to his wife, who is an actress. And you tell me who's dumb? The host asks Eva. He says, you're uneducated. Aren't you angry? Eva doesn't say anything. Here's the thing about Eva. She is so calm and so collected. I don't understand. I don't understand how someone can be so poised all the time. Like, she never breaks. Never. And she even. Yeah, and she never even looks that bothered. Every time Yang Zi says some shit that makes me stop the video, I have to like pound my space bar. I have to walk five circles around the room. Eva, the whole time is slightly smiling. I'm actually low key convinced that she came on this dating show so that she could divorce Yang Zi and he could not tell the world that it was her problem. Because now, whatever he says no one's believing him. No one's gonna believe him the way.

[Co-host]

Oh, do you think she's like, emotionally checked out a long time ago?

[Host]

No, because she still cares about him.

[Co-host]

Oh, really?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

Like, you think she's just like super high eq?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

That's fascinating.

[Host]

Uh huh. And so Yang Zi responds for her, if you're truly uneducated, why would you be mad?

[Co-host]

Why would you be offended if I'm stating the obvious?

[Host]

So Eva is expressing all of her thoughts to the producers, and Yang Zi tells them that he doesn't really know why Eva wants to get a divorce. He says, I mean, I think Eva has her grievances. Even if they aren't true. She believes she has her grievances and the whole thing is a little bit childish. He even describes the first impression he had of Eva when they first met. He believes that she's a brat. He said, yeah, my first impression was she's definitely pretty, but she's got like, her own bratty charm. So remember how in the first episode of this marriage series, the first test is the marriage quote. There's three couples. Each one has to answer questions, write their answers down on a piece of paper, like, what's your favorite movie? Very basic knowledge stuff. And then they sit next to their partner in an armchair while the producers start asking them, hey, what's your partner's favorite movie? And they cross reference the sheets. Remember Mai and Lee? They had the most points out of how well they know each other. But the whole time it just seemed like Mai wanted to prove that she had the most points and not really anything else. Like she did not care about her husband. She was just like, did I win? Am I the best wife ever? Like, that was her. Okay? And I thought that was bad. I thought that was bad. But I'm sitting here watching Yang Zi and Eva. I don't think they have ever met before this show. I think this is their first date. They don't know their wedding anniversary. Both of them, Neither of them, you know, I laugh, I giggle, right? But then every time someone asks me for my wedding anniversary, I also stutter because I'm like, wait, I am married, right? So, like, what do I tell them? Do I tell them the anniversary that we celebrate? Do I tell them the day that we legally got married? Or do I tell them the day that we had our wedding ceremony? Like, there are three different fucking dates. And then I always just go, I don't know. I don't know. And then they're like, oh, I'm pretty sure there are at least, like, five realtors that think we absolutely hate each other's guts. Like, there's just no way. Okay, so anyways, favorite color, favorite season. They're sitting here like, this is the bar exam. They're stressing. They don't know. Forehead veins are popping out because Yang Zi can't think of Eva's favorite holo, like, holiday, hobby, nothing. I believe that their very first point that they gain comes from, like, what's your partner's biggest pet peeve about you? And then they finally get this shit right. It's the fact that Eva hates that Yang Zi doesn't know the difference between day and night. He does not know. He doesn't know when the moon comes out. He would go to sleep at 10 in the morning and wake up at 3pm Mind you, they have two children. So Eva will wake up with the children, get them ready for the day, hang out with them. He will be up way later and not be involved in their lives at all. But he says it's also kind of Eva's fault, because if she really wanted to. No, I can't believe I'm saying these things out loud. If she really wanted to spend time with him, she could adapt to his schedule.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God. This guy is. This guy's on another level.

[Host]

When he finally does have time, I guess it would be her dinner, his breakfast. Eva says, we've actually never had a meal together when he wasn't on a call with someone from start to finish. Yeah. Yang Zi admits, you know, fine, I'm rarely with the kids. That's a problem. I'm aware of it.

[Co-host]

I'm rarely with the kids.

[Host]

Yeah. He's like, I never see the kids. I get it. It's a problem. To which Eva is asked, what is Yang Zi the most afraid of losing? And she's sitting there with a big old smile on her face, and I'm like, girl, say it. Say it. Even young Ti is like, just say it. Say it. Say what's on your mind.

[Co-host]

His seven phones.

[Host]

No, I mean, close. Okay. But, like, you know, good. Very good. Easy answers. My wife, my kids, my dad.

[Co-host]

You say Evo is smiling.

[Host]

Yeah. And that's what I'm just like. I just know she's got a lot to say. Okay. This is a woman who could write 25 memoirs, and I would eat it all up. She would. So she says, he is the most afraid of losing money. Yang Zi looks highly uncomfortable. And remember how there's like a panel. There's, like, reaction panels.

[Co-host]

Oh, yeah. Other. Other celebrities.

[Host]

Other celebrities who are reacting. It's like a panel. I'm gonna call them the panel. And it cuts to the panel, and they're like, she hit the nail on the head. Look at him. Look at it. Look at his body language. That's the right answer. That's the right answer. And he says, no, wrong. Be. Wampum. Incorrect. So I'm like, okay. He's passionate. He's gonna hit her with the. My biggest fear. Are you crazy? My biggest fear. Biggest fear is that one of our beautiful children that have come into this earth, that have graced my presence and have changed my life and the fiber of my being, it's. If one of them were to fall ill, he says, it's my eyes. You what? My eyesight. If I lose my eyesight, it would be devastating because my favorite hobby is collecting antiques. So having eyesight is very important to me. Me. Netizens are commenting in the live chat. I wish to not have eyesight right now. Like, they were getting very frustrated. Then Yang Zi is asked about. Is asked about Eva's favorite flower, right? And he's like, I know this one. Lily. No. Roses. No. The producer is like, eva, what's your favorite flower? It's a tulip. And then it's quiet, just silence. The producers know what they're doing. And the producer goes, what kind of flowers do you buy, Eva? Lilies and roses. Okay? So this man has just been fucking gifting her lilies and roses for, like, 20 years. There's actually so many sad moments, though, where it looks like Eva is about to cry. At one point, Yang Zi is asked about her favorite hobby. He's giggling. He's like, I don't know. And then he's like, do you even have hobbies? Hobbies. Okay, I'm sorry. That she's a working woman and she's raising two children by herself like a single mother. What are you doing on your seven fucking phones? Oh. Which Eva says nobody would write no hobbies on a taste like this. On a test like this. Okay? She. She says, like the most high EQ thing. See, if that were me sitting in that chair, I'd say, what do you mean? I don't have hobbies? Is it because I'm so busy watching the kids all day? Is it because I'm so busy? I would. It would be a fun. It would be a fight, right? Eva says nobody would write no hobbies on a test like this. Which Means, answer the fucking question. Why do you think I have no hobbies? Okay. Finally, she smiles and she says that she wrote down sleep, which. Okay, fine, whatever. Questionable. Which he snorts and he says, you might as well have said nothing.

[Co-host]

Damn.

[Host]

And it looks like Eva's about to start crying.

[Co-host]

Really.

[Host]

The only answer Yang Zi gets right, right off the bat is Eva's Social Security number. Because as her former manager, agent, the money stealer, he would have to write it all down on all the contracts and forms to seal the deal, you know, Yang Zi ends up scoring the lowest out of all three guests. Out of three couples, six guests. He scores the lowest. So each individual is scored. He is the lowest. So they go back to their room. It's awkward. It's awkward.

[Co-host]

So they're, like, staying in the. Sleeping in the same bed and stuff?

[Host]

Yeah. And so no, there's two beds. Beds.

[Co-host]

Oh. But same room.

[Host]

Yeah. And they get a note card from the producers. Yang Zi opens it up and it tells him, because you are at the bottom of the list from the marriage quiz, you need to pack your bags and move out of your room immediately and move into the special room that we have prepared for you. As for your partner, Eva, she has the choice to stay in this nice room or go and suffer with you. Of course, Eva is high eq, and she's very nicely trying to say no by acting. Acting very confused by what the card is saying. Let me tell you something. The minute someone is acting very confused, they don't want to do what you're suggesting, okay? Just. This is. I learned this, too, and I am.

[Co-host]

Wait, what does that mean? If I was like, what do you mean? Like, am I supposed to go?

[Host]

Yeah. Like, what does that mean? I don't understand what that means. Like what?

[Advertiser/Commercial Voice]

What?

[Host]

It's the what. You get the what. That person does not want to hang out with you. Okay? And that's okay. I've gotten the what a few times. It's okay. Move on. We can find new friends. We can be each other's friends. But that means she doesn't want to go. Suddenly, she is unfamiliar with Mandarin. She said, english only, Please. I don't know what this card means, and that's a very big hint. Like, no. Go suffer alone, you weirdo. But he sighs. They're asking you if you will come suffer with me, or would you rather stay here and enjoy yourself alone? She just, like, avoids the topic. And then he hits her with a. It's a Chinese saying. Okay? Husband and wife are like, Birds sharing the same tree. When a storm hits, they fly their separate ways. When. AKA when things are good, couples stay together. When things are bad, they separate. Bitch. You're the one that scored the lowest on the test. No one told you to be an idiot.

[Co-host]

You're the storm, bro.

[Host]

Yeah. You are the disaster. So at this point, Eva has no choice. She says, fine, I'll go take a look first. So they get escorted into his special room, and it looks like an escape room. Nightmare. To be fair. It looks like a set. So they make like a little escape room building. That's what it looks like. Okay. Wallpaper ripping down the walls. Bed is like one of those camping beds. It's like two, four, six poles. And then like camping tent fabric on top. There's like a small rudimentary kitchen, you know? Oh, you know those. Those, like, old cooking videos in China where it's like the fire and then you have the giant walk.

[Co-host]

Like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The old, old style. Like. Like they. You put wood underneath, right? You burn wood to. And then the giant walk to cook.

[Host]

So it's got one of those. And I mean, it's bad because there is no real door. So there's bugs and flies coming in. It's giving dungeon, but it's giving dungeons seen for rent for film projects. Like, it. It's clearly not. Not dirty or gross or unsafe. Not that that's a problem. But, like, you know, it's like a set. Yeah. They built it. So they get inside, and Yangzi is saying, not bad. Not bad. He's like, this is great. Obviously, I could do it. He starts lighting up the fire in the kitchen, and he's humming like he does this every day of his life. And I'm like, I just know. You have an electric cooktop that you've never touched. I don't even think you've got a gas cooktop. You've got the electric one induction. You don't touch that shit. I just know. And she's confused also. Like, you can just tell, like, you know, that's also the thing with my. That's the thing with my. That's the thing with Yang Zi. You just know when someone doesn't do anything because the partner, when they start doing that thing that they act like they do all the time. The partner looks at them like, what? But they don't want to out them on national television. So they're just like, what is.

[Co-host]

Okay, what is he doing?

[Host]

He's starting the fire for the walk.

[Co-host]

Oh, like, he's about to cook something.

[Host]

Yeah. And Eva's looking at him like, you're gonna cook. You're gonna cook. So he's rolled up his sleeves.

[Co-host]

Classic.

[Host]

Okay. He lights the fire. Starts. Okay. Starts pouring in a shit ton of.

[Advertiser/Commercial Voice]

Oil.

[Host]

Into the walk.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

Eva is just quietly sitting there, wanting to leave. She keeps giving him hints. She's like, I'm so sleepy. And she keeps saying things like, I'm gonna leave. And the panel notices that she still doesn't leave. And they're like, oh, my God. It's like she's waiting permission to leave. So this is her subtle way of like, hey, tell me it's okay to leave. Which is like, they feel bad, right? Because. But also, she's so high. Eq. And finally he's like, yeah, you should go get some rest, and I'm gonna cook dinner for you, and I'll come get you when the dinner is ready. Ready. She's looking at him. She's looking at the walk, and she's like, bitch, don't come get me. Okay? But she doesn't say that. So he's still trying to get her to come back into this dungeon. I think it's crazy that he's like, go, but I'm gonna come fetch you again.

[Co-host]

Yeah. If it's that bad, I wouldn't have gotten you. Are you kidding me? Why would I want two people to suffer?

[Host]

Exactly. Okay. And then he starts heating up the oil, and out of all. All the things that he could have stuck in this oil, I mean, think about it. Think about wok oil. I'm thinking, you know, the panel's thinking maybe you could cook up some fresh noodles or cook up, like, a scallion oil, throw in some green onions or fry up something. Okay. He grabs a pack of instant noodles.

[Co-host]

Do you prefer ramen?

[Host]

Everyone is like, bro, this guy has never been in the kitchen. Kitchen. He throws in the noodles. Fully uncooked. Okay. It's not cooking. He throws it in. Yes. He starts flipping it. It's not cooking. It's just burning. So what does he do? He splashes water in to the oil.

[Co-host]

That's fucking crazy. Boom, explosion, right?

[Host]

Smoke bubble up. Okay.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

Thankfully, the fire was not hot enough, so the oil was not, like, super crazy. He thinks this is normal. He thinks, like, you know, sometimes when you go to those really nice restaurants and they have like, the. Like, the wok and the fire, he's like, oh, yeah, I'm doing this shit. Okay. So he keeps pouring more water.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

Flipping the ramen stressing me out until finally he takes it out, puts it on a dish. The camera zooms in. It's a hockey puck. It is a burnt circular charcoal disk. Disk, Disk. I said disc. What's wrong with you? Circular disc. So the entire room is filling with smoke. And he walks out and he breaks the fourth wall. He looks at the producers. He said, hey, anyone have food? And they say, no, you have to be responsible for your own dinner in the special room. Walks back in, it's getting smoggy in there.

[Co-host]

Okay?

[Host]

He walks back out and he yells them at, how am I supposed to cook without a broom? What? You know, a broom to, like, move things around in the pot. You mean a fucking spatula? He has like a ladle. He needs a broom. Damn.

[Co-host]

He really has never.

[Host]

No. He says the reason the smoke is filling up because the. Since he cannot clean the pot with a broom, he walks in there. His body is 99% authority, 1% competency. It's a dangerous combination. He grabs a bowl of water and he starts using his ladle to scoop hot oil into the bowl of water. Naturally erupts into little bombs of smoke.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

Eventually, he's standing further and further away from the stove, but he keeps doing the same thing over and over again, but just like a Covid social distance.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

Eventually, all of it's just on fire. The entire walk is on fire like a bonfire. He tries scooping up the literal flames into the boat. One of the panel members, I don't know if they have a legal background or just anxiety. They just scream, children, don't try this at home. Yang Zi is just calmly standing there scooping more fire out.

[Co-host]

Scooping fire.

[Host]

You ever just, like, meet those people? Oh, I'm so sorry. I think I can be friends with most people. I think I can be friends with absolutely most people. There is maybe one type of friend I cannot be friends with.

[Co-host]

I think you can't be friends with my.

[Host]

I definitely can't be friends with her. Definitely not. Okay. But there's another type of person I can't. Cannot be friends with, and this is like a little bit broader. And that's because I have severe anxiety. It's actually a me problem. It's not anybody else's problem but me. I actually wish I could live this life. But I'm talking about these people. These are fully able bodied people. People that, you know, are able bodied. Okay, okay. This is a preface, so I don't want to see any comments, okay? Please. These are fully able bodied people. You know, they are able bodied people, okay? They be fucking go in bowling and playing pickleball and they be running in to go get all these other things, okay? But then you tell them something bad is happening. The dog just ran out of the house. You're like, run. There's always that one person who just like never runs. They've never rushed a day in their lives. They have no internal sense of urgency. Everyone else is like booking it and they're just like, okay. And they're grabbing a water and they're like running with a cup of water. That's Yang Zi. He's just calmly moving bonfire flames into smaller bowls. And his movements are so slow. And the fire is growing bigger and bigger and bigger. And the man is just standing there. And remember how the editors, they had to hire more editors for this season of the show, even though it's season four. And everyone is joking. It's because of Mai. Because Mai was giving all the editors like heart problems, you know, so they had to like take breaks. Well, there's this one edit at the end of the episode from the outside of the house. And you just, just like see through the window Young Da just standing there while the fire gets bigger and bigger. And then it cuts to Mai and Lee who are lovey dovey outside watching fireworks as if. I don't know. Ball. I know ball. You think I'm falling for it? Okay. Seeing Mai's face, I was getting flashbacks. But they're trying to use it as juxtaposition contrast of like, look, this crazy guy. Look at this completely normal couple. I see. You think I don't know. You think I don't know. So I thought that's the end of episode one, right? Wrong. 10:30pm Yang Zi walks into the room where Eva is clearly knocked out onto the bed. She did her whole nighttime routine. She put on a face mask. She was reading the book Game Theory, which is about strategizing and predicting someone else's behavior so that you can improve your decision making skills.

[Co-host]

She's reading that for really?

[Host]

Yes.

[Co-host]

The one that you were reading too?

[Host]

Yes. Everyone's giggling because nobody knows whether or not she's using this channel to talk to Yang Zi or to avoid Yang Zi. We don't know. And he definitely doesn't know either. He doesn't know a lot. He sees her sleeping. I mean, she might as well be drooling and snoring at this point. She looks like she's out cold. And here's what I think partners should do. I feel like you see your partner asleep, you're looking for ways to let them sleep a little more. Okay. Hey.

[Co-host]

This guy's crazy.

[Host]

Wake up. I made dinner. Dinner. I made dinner. Let's go. The disc, okay, that smells like smoke and probably has the most carcinogenic air quality after all of that shenanigans in there, he's like, here, wife, mother of my children. Come on, get up. He forces her to get up from her slumber, walk back to his room with him. I don't know.

[Co-host]

Yo, this is, like, premeditated. How is that? Like, he knows that's not edible. He knows that. That she's.

[Host]

Oh, he made new noodles.

[Co-host]

Okay. But still, like, she's asleep. What are you doing?

[Host]

I know, I know. He starts ranting on the way there about how hard it is to cook food for her because the most, like, even the littlest bit of, like, dirty food in her stomach, she's gonna feel sick. So that he had to ensure that she doesn't get sick. And, like, the whole place, like, the kitchen wasn't, like, the right setup. Sir, are you not aware of, I don't know, the nine Super HD 4K cameras around you? Like, we saw you. I saw you, sir. I saw you. Anyway, she sits outside. He gives her a bowl of ramen, and it's just, like, mushy instant noodles without any seasoning, just, like, boiled in water. She takes a few bite of his food telling. And he's telling her, eat more. And then he takes a bite of the food, and he's like, it's so good. It's so good. Then he goes inside and he eats a banana, and then he comes back out, and he keeps telling Eva to eat more. And then he tells the producers that Eva is not very considerate because if she was the one that cooked this dinner, he would have least. At least eaten half the bowl. But she only took one or two bites.

[Co-host]

This guy is, wow.

[Host]

And the dinner conversation is so boring. He's just yapping in circles. Like, his dinner conversation are like the old riddles that grandparents like to talk about. In the panel of commentators, every time you see Yang Zi and Eva on the screen, you see the commentators start slumping and slumping a little bit more, and she's just, you know, waiting for him to finish. And then at the end of the day, she goes back to the room, he escorts her, and he very angrily tells the producers, it's true. I didn't get the response that I deserved. She has no intention of staying. So he thought that he would cook her dinner and then she would want to sleep there with him.

[Co-host]

What is happening right now?

[Host]

Yeah. Okay. And then you're gonna die. You're gonna die. So then he drops her off. Okay, so let me give you. She didn't want to go with him. He's like, you got to go with me. She goes. And then she's like, I want to go home and sleep. So then he's like, okay, go, but I'm gonna bring you for dinner. He goes, sees her sleeping, right? Wakes her up, they eat dinner. And then he's like, okay, let me walk you back. Walks her back. And then as he's leaving, he says, hey, let me know if you can't sleep. I'll come get you.

[Co-host]

Uh huh.

[Host]

Did you not just see her knocked out? Okay. Movie night hits different when you plan it with Fandango. Open the app, find what's playing, and grab your seats in seconds. No lines, no stress.

[Host]

Oh, sounds like a real nice surprise.

[Co-host]

[Host]

So then at the end of the night, everyone is told to journal about their day, the things that they've learned. And you see all five of them, like, sitting at the desk. 12 font 13 font they put their pen down. They ponder. They look up. Some of them are getting so intense, like their. Their head is becoming parallel with the table like this. Okay. Yang Zi writes like a little five year old in big childish letters. I don't know how to cook. Signed, Yang zi. Oh, my God.

[Co-host]

That's the takeaway of the day.

[Host]

Yes.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God. This is crazy.

[Host]

After he ra the lowest in the marriage quiz. His takeaway is not that. His takeaway is I don't know how to cook.

[Co-host]

It's not that. He doesn't know anything about his wife. No, Bro, like, imagine they didn't ask him anything about their kids.

[Host]

No, he probably knows nothing about that.

[Co-host]

Exactly. What's your kid's name? I don't know.

[Host]

Oh, yeah, Exactly. When's their birthday? I don't know.

[Co-host]

How old are they? I don't know. Boy or girl? I don't know.

[Host]

Yeah. What do they look like? Like, not sure. Then everyone at the very end of the night, they get a card that reads, today, at the end of the day, do you still want a divorce? Check yes or no. Eva's card. Not only did she check yes, but she writes underneath it. I didn't feel any changes in my impression. He still reacts the way he normally does.

[Co-host]

So, Eva, Eva, after day one's like, oh, I still want a divorce.

[Host]

Okay, so Yang Zi, after all of this, ranked the lowest. Lewis waking up, his wife being just a literal demon to everybody, yelling at the producers, berating them for not giving him a broom for his walk.

[Co-host]

Burning down the whole place.

[Host]

Yeah, burning down the place. Arsonist in the making, you know, both the yes and no boxes are scribbled over and over until he finally is like, actually, it's a no. And then he writes in big letters. Twenty years, for the first time, I didn't touch my cell phone. Regular schedule for sleep. I realized that leaving my phone is not so bad. I'm sorry, what does this have to do with your phone? We're not here to talk about your screen time. Everyone's phones were confiscated in the beginning, right? But maybe we are here to talk about his screen time because the lights turn off. He gets into his little camper bed with the fire still going, which feels like a hazard. But after laying his head on the pillow for.02 seconds, he gets up, reaches into his pocket. Suspicious, he walks over to the bathroom area where there are no cameras. I'm expecting he's peeing, right? All of a sudden, you hear a ringtone go off. He had turned on his phone, and instantly it was on loud, and something's going off. And first of all, phones are confiscated. I don't know how he got his little grubby hands on a phone. It might have been. He told the producers he only had six phones. Right. The producers are not playing games. They immediately run over, give me your mobile phone. Young Dae is scrambling. He's like, wait, hold on, hold on. It's my power bank. What are you talking about? It's on my phone.

[Co-host]

It's his power bank.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

That makes ringtone.

[Host]

Yeah. Are you sure? Really? I don't have a phone. Okay, then just give up your power bank if you don't have your phone. Right?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Host]

What are you doing? Charging your audacity. The producers decide to believe him. Five minutes later, he comes out of the bathroom. You know how you can, like, tuck your phone into your waist pant? Like, just like the pants part, not your pocket? Well, he does it screen facing outward. And he's wearing a thin white shirt. And the screen is still on. So you just see a rectangular glow in the dark. Just like bright, bright screen. Just through his shirt. Through his shirt, you can see his phone screen. He doesn't see it. Okay. What do you mean exactly? Okay. Then he goes back from the bathroom into the room. He hides it in a glove in the kitchen. Producers walk in, and they're trying to look for the contraband. They're trying to look for the phone. Yang Zi walks over, acting like he's about to put more wood into the fire. So he puts on the glove with the phone in the glove, and the producer realizes the phone is in the glove. And the producer is, like, so taken aback by Yang Zi's blatant stupidity that he just, like, laughs in his face, like he genuinely doesn't know how to call him out on something so clearly obvious. So he's just looking at him, looking at his gloves, looking back at him, looking at his gloves. And they're trying so hard not to laugh, you know, the producers end up leaving. They're like, you know what? There's nothing we can do right now. Oh. And he can't use his phone because there's cameras everywhere. So he starts pacing. He's trying to lay down. Then he gets back up, and then he starts walking. I'm like, where you walking? There's like, a stray dog next to him. I don't know if it's a stray dog. It looks like just there's, like, a dog walking next to him.

[Co-host]

What the fuck?

[Host]

And I mean, it's gotta be somebody's dog. Dog. We got to know this dog. I don't know. So then they get to the Place that they were going. Hey, wake up.

[Co-host]

Oh my God. He went to his wife.

[Host]

Eva wakes up and she's like, what's wrong? It's 3:30 in the morning. And he was like, this guy is crazy. Got eight cameras in me in that little place. I don't know what to do. I got nothing to do.

[Co-host]

He really doesn't have a like a morning night.

[Host]

I know. And she's like, what? And then he's like, okay, fine. He's like, clearly you're not going to entertain me. So then he leaves. Right. But you know what really bothers me?

[Co-host]

So crazy.

[Host]

Here's what I know about Yang Zi. Yang Zi is more like a sibling than he is a husband. Because here's the worst part about having a sibling. Why do they come into your room when you are sleeping and then they turn on the light and then they open the door and then when they leave, they don't turn off the light and they leave the door open. And now you got to get up out of your bed to turn off the light and close the door like you had left it before. Okay, well Yang Zi does something worse. He just leaves this dog in there. I don't know. We don't know whose dog this is. But the dog is just there. Okay. And then he just leaves. He leaves Eva with the dog. I love dogs. This dog is cute. But this is random. I don't know.

[Co-host]

Woke up with a new dog.

[Host]

Now he goes back to his room and he. He starts covering up all the cameras with boxes.

[Co-host]

No way.

[Host]

Yeah, he thinks he's covered them all and he's, he's laughing. He whips out his phone and the phone is blurred but he's like, like showing someone on the phone all the cameras that have been covered. Okay, it's blurred. But afterwards after it airs, netizens were able to get a different angle from one of the other cameras. Like a B cam that was uploaded. He's FaceTiming a woman with long hair wearing a V neck.

[Co-host]

Dude, he is crazy. He's on a TV show and he's.

[Host]

Like giggling and then he immediately like he's like showing all the cameras and then he hands his son.

[Co-host]

He saw one. Yeah. His face dropped.

[Host]

Yeah. So then he walks over and puts a box over it.

[Co-host]

Unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable. He acts like a 12 year old.

[Host]

Kid but he wants you to treat. Treat him like he is a 500 year old ancestral wise fairy being. I don't know, fairy being like a bean. Yeah, he wants you to treat him like he has all of the ancient wisdom of the great Chinese philosophers all up in his dome, but all he has is radio silence. He is the epitome of brain rot. This guy has the competency and the intelligence of a brick wal. But he wants you to treat him. I was just like listing off a bunch of smart people and I feel like a lot of them could be controversial. You know, I'm like, wait, I don't know about their personal lives actually. So I'm not gonna list any of them. Just insert very smart person. Okay? Very smart, very powerful person. This guy just doesn't give a flying fuck. They, they. He doesn't. At the end of this, he doesn't go to sleep until 6:30 in the morning. And the next day he cannot wake up on time. The program staff have to keep going to wake him up like an alarm clock, as if they're waking up a kid to go to high school. The next day, couples are going to be formally introduced to each other, but they're all driving in separate cars. So Mai and Lee are going to drive to the next location and then that's where all the couples are going to meet. And then I'm having war flashbacks. And then the chill husband, the chill wife are going to drive, and Yang Zi and Eva are going to drive.

[Co-host]

We're still on episode one.

[Host]

Yeah, we're almost done. Okay, so Yang Zi, he gets up late, everyone, they're the last couple to leave. Eva's waiting on him. And finally he takes a shower. Takes all of his damn time, you know, getting his hair gel in. All his white hair is just gelled all the way up. And then he tells Eva she's got to drive because he's tired. So she drives. And then there, you know, chill husband and chill wife are not having a good drive either. So chill wife wanted to drive, she's driving. And the chill husband keeps backstreet driving. So they pull over to the side, backseat driving. And they pull over to the side. And so I'm thinking, okay, chill husband's gonna start driving, right? They cut it and then the next scene is just chill husband in the very back of the car. She kicked him out of the passenger seat. He's sitting in the back seat, arms crossed like a pouty little kid. So she's like, you shut the up, okay? Don't tell me how to drive. So they drive into the desert and this, there's going to be a tent for the guys and a tent for the girls. And they all meet. They all sit down and they're all going to go eat lunch. But Yang Zi grabs this green blanket looking like a honeydew melon. And he's sitting there and he keeps asking everyone else if they're cold, if they're cold. And like, he's such a gracious host. His wife Eva is in a tank top and she's like, I gotta go look for a jacket. He never asks her if she's cold.

[Co-host]

That's crazy.

[Host]

And instantly when everyone sits down, he starts giving people glasses of tea. I don't know where he got this tea. Oh, but he's telling them, try this. It's tea from 1999 when the fork. Did you have time to do all that? The couples are all cracking jokes that May and Lee are here for their honeymoon because they just seem so lovey dovey. Ah.

[Co-host]

That'S crazy.

[Host]

But they're all focused on Yang Zi. Yang Zi becomes a punching bag initially because all the couples, they try to make themselves feel better about their relationships, which is valid, you know. So they tell him like, you got 14 points. Even strangers get 12 points. That's crazy. And Yang Zi class is in session. So as they're eating hot pot, he's sitting there and he's telling them, you know, he's done a lot of these reality shows before, but there was one reality show that I went on where, you know, we were really testing the limits of human capabilities and of human strength and human agility. It was actually the first time in my life I've ever been scared to do anything. And we were skydiving. Chill wife starts smirking. And you just know, like, I love when a woman starts smirking. I just know she's got something up her sleeve. Okay. And she's like, oh, yeah. And Yangzi is like, yeah. I mean, it was, it was really like a test to the human body.

[Co-host]

Skydiving. Yeah, it's not that serious.

[Host]

And chill husband, he points out Yang Zi, you talk about how scary skydiving is, but honey, you seem to find it pretty easy. Chill wife is a professional skydiver.

[Co-host]

That's crazy.

[Host]

She fucking be jumping out of place by herself.

[Co-host]

She be certified.

[Host]

Certified. She does everything. She's got her own parachute. And then all of a sudden, young dude doesn't want to talk about skydiving no more. He's suddenly engrossed in the food. The food is so good.

[Co-host]

All of a sudden, he doesn't acknowledge the.

[Host]

He's just like, oh, so you learned, you went through training that's it. And then my. My pipes in. Okay. Maya's like, you know, ever since I had kids, kids, I just like, don't want to do anything extreme or too dangerous anymore. To which Yang Zi switches up and to the kids. Listen, I.

[Co-host]

As a father of two.

[Host]

Yeah, no, because, okay, I have a member of the RM team. She dated a philosophy major. She said, I would never wish that upon my worst enemy. She says philosophy majors are great, but they should strictly legally only be allowed to date other philosophy majors. That's it. I'm sorry. You're not allowed to be on Hinge or any other dating app. Sorry, can't be there. Okay. That's a rule. No, I love you. I love you guys, but you guys are insane. But he is worse than that. He decides. We all tell ourselves excuses. Look at Mai, for example, telling herself that it's because of the kids that I can't do this. I want to do that. But did you know in all the language languages in the world, the most repeated word is I me. We live in an egocentric world.

[Co-host]

Who's talking right now?

[Host]

Yang Zi.

[Co-host]

That's fucking crazy.

[Host]

Yes. To which the chill husband says sarcastically, and I don't know, like this chill husband, I think I named him wrong. He has no chill.

[Co-host]

The no chill husband.

[Host]

Yes. No chill husband sarcastically says, nobody knows me more than Yang Zi. And you can see his smirking. You can see his wife is like, that's a good one. Like his wife is suddenly attracted to him again.

[Co-host]

And everyone picks enemy of an enemy.

[Host]

He is my friend.

[Co-host]

He's my lover. So this is like the first time they're meeting.

[Host]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

The no chill husband is already clocking Yanzi. That's crazy.

[Host]

Oh yeah. And you know, everyone picks up on the tension except Yuza, you guessed it. Dressed look like a little cold green sugar snap pea wrapped in his honeydew green blanket. Yang Zi, he says, you know when you say that? And chill husband goes, I was joking. No, but it's true. Because I know a little something of everything because of my experiences. He instantly starts name dropping. How his experiences include working for his family factories at Julie Group. Literally just name dropping his Nepo baby status. He says that after he traveled the world to study the distribution of Asian artifacts. You know, and Eva is sitting there staring off into the distance. At this point, they're in the desert and I think she's trying to see if the earth is flat. Okay. Sometimes she's looking down at her nails, smiling. She's not Enraged, he's just droning on and on and on. At one point, the PA Channel. Who's watching this? They're confused. One of them asks each other. Wait, did somebody ask him about this? No, this was all voluntary. Chill Wife asks young Zoe a question. You seem like you're really good at everything.

[Co-host]

She's setting him up. She's so good.

[Host]

Like, you're so good at collecting history. I mean, you've had so much experience. It sounds like you're really skilled across different industries, and you've done quite well at everything you've tried. And Yangzi, he does the. He does the, you know, the fraction frown, and then. No, it's like the humble. No, no, you're doing too much. Oh, don't give me that attention. Oh, you're too kind. Oh, don't say that about me. And then Chill Wife hits him with a smirk. And you know a lot of things, but how come you ranked last in the marriage quiz?

[Co-host]

Shots fired. And what did he say?

[Host]

I don't understand. I need you to decode it.

[Co-host]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Host]

In the Boundless universe. No, that's his next line. In the Boundless universe, when there's a problem, there is a solution. It's hard to cure yourself. You know, we've seen eight immortals cross the sea. What the fuck? At this point, all the netizens are commenting, good thing Chill Wife and Chill Husband are wearing sunglasses, because you just know that they're rolling their eyes. He starts going on a folklore tangent, and everyone zones out. It looks like with every vowel this guy speaks, the soul leaves Ava's body a little more and more, and she just starts zoning out more and more. And then eventually they go around the table talking about why they're on the show. Yang Zi says, actually, Eva and I have broken up a few times. You know, back in 2022, there were rumors that we were separated, and that was true. He says the biggest problem that they have is that he just doesn't go home ever.

[Co-host]

I don't know if that's the biggest.

[Host]

Yeah, but also, like, if my husband isn't coming home, I'm kickstarting my squatters. Right. So you don't live here anymore. This is no longer your home. It is mine. What do you mean? Are you the fucking UPS man? You can't just stop by here and there. And then he complains as if it's not his fault. Eva is too regular. She goes to sleep every day at 10pm I'm much more spontaneous. I get up sometimes at 3 in the morning. Sometimes I go to sleep at 10, 10, 10 in the morning. And then he mentions, of course, sometimes they start fighting and he doesn't go home after that. And then it just became like a routine. And he just like. The way he says it though, there's no shame. There's no like, I up. It's just like, of course you should understand, right? Not a single time does Eva interrupt. She just sits there sighing and looking like she's finding this half comical. Eventually everyone is like, eva, what are your thoughts? And she says, I mean, clearly there's too many problems to name. It's not. Not just sleep, even for the kids. He doesn't care about the kids. And you can't really make someone care. To which no. Chill. Husband is so blunt. I think Yang Zi is plotting his death. Okay. He says, you know, you're a man. Stop acting like a weirdo. He's basically like, be a man. Like, fucking man up.

[Co-host]

Wait, who said this? No, Chil Husband.

[Host]

Yeah. To Yang Zi.

[Co-host]

Be a man.

[Host]

Yeah. Like, take care of your kids. Take care of your wife. What's wrong with you? On top of that, everyone has seen his live streams. Let me tell you about Yang Zi's live streams. Yang Zi's live stream streams send my brain into an orbit. He does these live streams where he brings on business owners. Okay, so let's say you have a small paper towel company like doing right. It's a.

[Co-host]

Basically he goes on live stream on Tick Tock.

[Host]

Yeah. To sell Tick Tock shop. And so he'll bring in a local mom and pop paper towel salesperson. And then he'll look at the paper towels. Okay? And this has been a thing. Everybody hates him. And he asks the owner of the company, how much are you selling these paper paper towels for? They're like $1 a roll. And then he's like, okay. He looks straight into the camera. If you guys order right now, I will give you these for 10 cents a roll. And every owner is like, no, no. Like, some of them are trying to walk out. Some of them are trying to grab their products. And they're like, absolutely not. I'm not honoring this. And he just does this non stop. He'll drag Eva into all of his live streams and make her sit there and she looks uncomfortable. Eva is a very poised, sophisticated woman. She is the opposite of me me. Like, she's so classy and she just. She gives me the type where she likes to live a very private life and she likes to Focus on acting. Like, truly acting. And she doesn't really want to do these live streams. She just wants to work on her craft. Right? But no, no. I mean, what do you expect from the guy? This guy, he would have a press conference for his movies and for all the journalists that he invites, he would give them a red envelope with a hundred dollars in each of them. Sorry, is this bribery? Like, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah. And then netizens are commenting. You know what's crazy about Yang Zi's live streams? Other people sell things for money. Yang Zi is truly in love with live streaming. He's truly in love with seeing his own face and hearing his own voice and watching his lips move. Truly, Yang Zi is in love with Yang Zi. Huang Xiaoming is in love with Huang Xiaoming. Okay. They asked Eva if she's okay with it, and she says it's frustrating because not only does he not help her with her work, but he wants her to get involved in his work too. She tells the producers, and this is so sad. She says, I'm supposed to have a really strong personality, but I don't know why. Over time, I just became so. Just more and more compliant and accepting of things, and then it became habitual. But I would love to change that.

[Co-host]

Wow.

[Host]

So then she changes it. Later that night, he's making tea once more. Once more, wants more. He's making tea for everyone. And Eva finally opens up about how their sons are getting older and they have so much energy. Yang Zin never goes on vacations with them, never takes them places. She's the one doing all of this wall balancing work. And she says it's hard because as boys age, they also need a lot more instruction that would be better from a father, and it's just hard as a mom. Meanwhile, everyone is sympathizing with her. Yang Zi holds his hands up like a binocular and looks up in the sky by. He's looking for the Big Dipper, the star consolation.

[Co-host]

Like, he's ignoring this talk right now. That's crazy.

[Host]

Wow. She keeps talking and she's like, you know, it's just he never really pays attention to the kids. And he says, you know, I communicate with them, and we communicate like men. These kids are like 10. Everyone looks like they want to throw him off the cliff. He says he also spends less time with the kids because he wants to instill traditional values of culture. He wants them to learn about antiques and collectibles. Right. History. Meanwhile, Ava wants to take them skiing and golfing. And Eva is like, it's not like even I want to do that. They want to go skiing, they want to go golfing. So I. It's not like I want to go, but I'm going with them. And then he basically tells her. He does it in the scariest way ever. He sits back and he tells her, it's new. New Year. I was confused by this. I was like, what do you mean, it's New Year? Right? And so I was talking to Tiffany about it, and then she's saying it's actually, like, terrifying. Like, that's really toxic. So when you say New Year, it's okay. So Chinese New Year. It wasn't New Year when they were filming, but Chinese New Year is huge in China where all the families get together and kids, even if they're being insane, parents will not yell at them. Parents will not, like, do anything to the kids because it's New Year. So they just say, it's new Year. Which means, today I'm gonna keep the festive mood, but tomorrow you're getting your ass beat, bro.

[Co-host]

What is going on? I'd never heard of this before.

[Host]

Yeah, I never heard of it. Tiffany was saying, like, it's. It's like a. It's almost like a threat for parents. You know how in America, it's like, okay, we'll talk when we get home. And then you do the eyes to your kid. It's like you're gonna get a lecture when we get home. But he said, it's new Year. And then he says, well, what I think is, every time I play with the kids, I hear a little voice in my heart saying, wouldn't it be great if they could learn about agriculture right now instead of just playing around? But I realized no matter what he learns, happiness comes first. And since his mother has raised him so well, then we shouldn't do too much if both of us, you know, I'm trying to teach him about history and culture, and Ava's trying to, you know, do golfing and skiing. He's going to end up with split personality. The chill husband is just generously blurting out what everyone is thinking. He just blurts out, well, just admit it. When it comes to raising your kids, you're falling short. Everyone else can see it. Okay? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. One of the panel members says, you know, this is the type of middle aged Chinese man I hate the most. I just love that for her, okay? She's like, this is the type of guy you ask, hey, is that a tissue because you want to use the tissue. And that guy sits there and goes, well, in Chinese. Chinese culture, you know, back in the day, what would happen was. And then now you've got fucking snot running dangerously close to your upper lip, okay? You feel like you can't breathe through your nose. And you never got a fucking tissue. And you just wasted 15 minutes of your precious time. That's who Yang Zi is. He wants to act like everybody's dad when he's not even a good dad to his own actual kids. The only aspect of life that this guy has mastered is the art of sleeping, and he doesn't even get that right. And then Young goes on to whine about how it takes a lot for someone of his status to come to a show like this, which Chill Husband. Genuinely. No, chill. Okay. Genuinely, he hits back. Well, I think it's actually harder for your wife, Eva, to decide to come here because she's a huge celebrity. You don't need to be so pretentious.

[Co-host]

Let's go.

[Host]

I don't think. I mean, to be fair, Chill wife has said Chill husband is like, doesn't really shower a lot. Like, they fight about hygiene. So, like, if he doesn't care about having cheese in his butt crack, what makes you think he cares about Young's feelings? I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Later that night.

[Co-host]

Damn. These are some crazy relationship scenarios that they're all living in.

[Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host]

I want to know everyone's pick. Like, if you have to pick one couple to be in.

[Host]

Oh, my God.

[Co-host]

One relationship to. To live with, what would that. Which one? Right. That's crazy. So the no chill ones, like, no showering and.

[Host]

Oh, they fight a lot, though, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, but they, like, scream fight at each other. Yeah, they're very vocal. Like, scream fight. Oh, I definitely cannot be in mine. These relationships. Oh, my gosh. Honestly, I think I'd be Eva.

[Co-host]

Yeah, you just. Basically, you're just checked out, right?

[Host]

Yeah. And then, like, you go live your life. Right? Right?

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Host]

Yeah. So then he's talking about how Youngza is, like, you know, before I even came on this show, I was thinking about maybe I'll just leave Eva. Chill Husband again cuts him off. You've been writing on her popularity for years, and you want to cut ties forever. You keep talking about how hard you work, how many friends you've met, how busy you are, how much you've expanded your world. But what have you ever given back to Eva? Honestly, in the eyes of the Public because, you know, like, fans of her. She's a goddess. She's like a movie star. And yet you drag her into livestreaming with you. Like, do you think that she's actually happy doing that? Yang Zi's face gets red and he says, work is work. It's not supposed to make you happy. And then Chill Husband hits back with, is that how Eva just ends up being convinced by you every time to go on a livestream?

[Co-host]

Damn.

[Host]

And you know what Eva does? She's sitting there smoking. She's smiling. She's not even saying anything. And the ch. The Chill Wife is looking at Chill Husband like, you might get it tonight. Really? Yeah.

[Co-host]

Oh, shit.

[Host]

She's like, yes. Okay. Maybe showering is, like, optional. Maybe not showering is okay. We must all make concessions in life. Why must he shower? Maybe we should be considerate and pop on a K95. Matt. What do you mean? For a few minutes, Yang Zi is quiet because he's just been obliterated with a man whose butt crack probably hasn't seen a bar of Soap in, like, 48 hours. Okay, I'm kidding. I like the Chill couple right now. Well, they've got their own problems, but Mai and Yang Zi need to be sectioned. Okay? They need to be held. So it's a little bit different. Everybody else is kind of normal crazy. Like, I can see why you've gotten so crazy because your partner drives you insane. So I see it. I see how you got it here. I see where you were before. Let me bring you back, right? Yang Zi and Maya, I'm like, I don't know what this is. I don't know what kind of circus you guys are, okay? Not my circus, not my monkeys. At one point, Yang Zi finally shuts up, and he decides that intelligence is no longer in great demand. And then he starts yapping again. At one point, Mai looks over at the Chill Wife. Chill Wife. She's sitting there staring off into the distance. And Maya's like, I can't even follow everything he's talking about. Chill Wife smiles. She's not even looking at Yang Zi. Okay. It's okay. Ignore everything in the beginning and the middle. Usually the last thing he says is what he wants a response to. This is all just part of the process. This is fucking hilarious what's going on right now. Okay? But the craziest part of all of this is after he does all of this. Okay, so Chill Wife, she was the only other person, along with Eva, that checked. Yes, for I want a divorce. That night, my li. Chill wife. Chill husband. They all check. I don't want a divorce anymore. They all say. After witnessing Yang Zi, maybe. Maybe my problems aren't that bad. Maybe I'm okay. Maybe life is okay. Okay. Perspective. The grass is greener. Maybe it's not. Maybe the grass is dead on the other side.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Host]

So they all check. No. Eva goes. And she checks. Yes, again. For the second night in the row, Yang Zi, after terrorizing the fuck out of everybody, he confidently goes in and smack dab checks Yang. Yes, he too wants a divorce now. And that is where I leave you with part one of Yang Zi and Eva. This makes me so angry. I'm so sorry. I feel like my words were a lot more heated, targeted, angry. I feel I am a lot more.

[Co-host]

Like he's a different breed.

[Host]

No. And I don't even think my words are doing it justice because I usually try not to get heated for really any anything. Any video. But wow. Wow. Everything he touches, I want to burn down. He's making me want to commit crimes.

[Co-host]

Okay, what episode are we at right now?

[Host]

Like one and a half out of, like, 12.

[Co-host]

Oh, my God.

[Host]

And it gets worse, so stay tuned for the rest, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye.
