Intentional love isn't just a goal—it's a daily practice. Ling and Lamb, married content creators, beloved influencers, and authors, exemplify this through their blend of playful pranks and honest conversations.  In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell chats with Ling and Lamb about how they've mastered the art of blending humor, culture, extreme differences in upbringing, and deep connection. He grew up in Nigeria. She grew up in Connecticut. They have had to learn SO MUCH about one another in order to enjoy a vibrant intimate marriage. Now their Nigerian-American marriage is a beacon for couples wanting an intentional, fun, mutually respectful, awesome relationship. This conversation offers practical advice for couples from different cultures as well as couples who merely come from different families, because each of us grows up with different reference points and assumptions.

Intentional Love: Why supporting each other's growth matters in a strong relationship. Cultural Connection: How honoring each of their Nigerian and American backgrounds enriches their bond. Real Communication: The role of honesty and patience in resolving conflict. Beautiful Foolishness: Key takeaways from their book on love, growth, and intentional living.     About The Guests: Taccara Lawanson (aka Ling) and Yinka Lawanson (aka Lamb) are married content creators sharing their antics, pranks, everyday moments, and honest conversations online.

(0:05:24) Kev: Can’t great good stuff (0:05:26) Kev: It’s it’s always surprises me how like affordable and easy it is to get into chickens if you have the space for it (0:05:32) Codey: He was like, it was so funny because we were texting about it. And he was like, he was (0:05:39) Codey: doing the whole like, back in my day, they used to be like a dollar each. And now they’re (0:05:44) Codey: $4, I guess. When you buy them, and he was like, it’s just so like, why is it selling? (0:05:45) Kev: Haha, yeah. (0:05:50) Codey: They used to be so much less expensive. And I was like, yeah, 100%. Um, but it’s fun. (0:05:52) Kev: Well, general gestures at the world, I guess. (0:06:00) Codey: So that I’ve also been doing (0:06:02) Codey: actual gardening at my house. (0:06:04) Kev: No, what’s growing? (0:06:04) Codey: So I have a bunch of peppers coming up, (0:06:08) Codey: some romaine, some kale, some tomatoes, and then I planted. (0:06:13) Codey: So all of those that I just mentioned (0:06:15) Codey: were like starts already. (0:06:17) Codey: So they were already like a little seedling. (0:06:20) Codey: They already have stuff going on. (0:06:20) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:06:23) Codey: But I had these zucchini seeds that weren’t ready, (0:06:28) Codey: like weren’t started. (0:06:30) Kev: I know. (0:06:30) Codey: And so I put those, and they were, (0:06:32) Codey: actually, a little old. So I was like, I don’t know if this is gonna work. So I put the seeds in the ground, and low and behold, they are a bump in. So I actually need to thin those. Yeah, they actually, I actually need to thin those. And then in game news, I beat Breath of the Wild. And I started Tears in the Kingdom, and I did not get very far. I fell to the, to the ground, and then (0:06:42) Kev: life sprung forth. (0:06:52) Kev: Yo, congrats, okay. (0:07:03) Codey: immediately tried to make a wagon out of, because it’s like, there’s like parts all over the world. And there’s like, clearly, what are wagon parts. And I got almost all the way, and then I messed something up. And I like tried to shake it off. And it just broke the whole thing. (0:07:09) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:07:18) Kev: Oh, ha ha ha ha! Yeah! Yeah! (0:07:21) Codey: I haven’t really gotten back into that. (0:07:25) Kev: Oh, too disheartening. (0:07:26) Kev: Uh, um, okay, well, alright, there’s a lot here, so let’s back up one sec. (0:07:32) Kev: Okay, birth of the wild, what are your overall thoughts? (0:07:36) Codey: I really liked it. I think the story was don’t don’t look too hard at it, you know, like (0:07:41) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct (0:07:43) Codey: It’s pretty see-through, but it was a solid game. I had a lot of fun (0:07:46) Codey: I still have so much that I could do if I wanted to 100% it but I (0:07:51) Codey: Do not want to do that. So I’m not gonna do (0:07:53) Kev: Yeah, understandable. (0:07:56) Kev: Yeah. (0:07:57) Codey: Maybe it’s something I’d go back to later, but I just have I’m in this like (0:08:02) Codey: Purge mode where I’m like, I need to get through things. So I’m like purging my book (0:08:06) Codey: shelf. Like, I’ve been going through books that are on my bookshelf instead of buying (0:08:06) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:08:11) Codey: books this year and getting rid of a lot of that. I’ve been just going through like boxes (0:08:11) Kev: Mm-hmm. That’s good (0:08:18) Codey: that I’ve had for forever and I just need to get rid of them. So yeah. (0:08:20) Kev: Yeah (0:08:22) Kev: Yeah, okay (0:08:25) Kev: Understandable, okay, uh tears of the king. All right, you know what? (0:08:28) Kev: I think it’s probably for the best you take a breather because tears the I mean (0:08:32) Codey: Yeah. (0:08:33) Kev: There’s a lot new and like it’s sequel worthy (0:08:37) Kev: But it’s still you know, the the breath of the wild skeleton is there, right? So (0:08:38) Codey: Yeah. (0:08:40) Codey: Mm-hmm. (0:08:42) Kev: That’s a lot of breath of the wild at once and here’s the kingdom just like the predecessor is beefy (0:08:47) Kev: So, you know what, it’s probably for the best you take. (0:08:48) Codey: I think that’s the thing is like I started playing Tears of the Kingdom and I was like (0:08:56) Codey: I can see how this is going to be the same but also I’m not emotionally ready for these (0:09:01) Codey: changes like there was so much that like powers are different and I’m just struggling and (0:09:02) Kev: Yep. Oh, yeah. Yep. (0:09:09) Codey: so I yeah I needed to take a step back but yeah we. (0:09:11) Kev: Understandable, but it’ll be there when you’re ready. It’s good. It’s a thumbs up as well. (0:09:18) Codey: Yeah we’ve been doing a lot of stuff around the house and I’ve been trying to get rid (0:09:19) Kev: But yeah, I’d take a breather because it. (0:09:27) Codey: of a bunch of my specimens. I have like bugs that are that I caught like on my own that (0:09:32) Codey: I don’t actually they’re not part of anything that I just wanted to go through and I’m so (0:09:38) Codey: I’m finally starting to go through some of those so that my partner and we can have my (0:09:45) Codey: My partner and my roommate can have a freezer again. (0:09:48) Kev: Hmm (0:09:48) Codey: Everyone wants to be with the weird bugs early until they realize it means no freezer space because your freezer is all bugs. (0:09:56) Kev: that’s good good stuff (0:09:58) Codey: So yeah. What have you been up to though? How’s the pup? (0:10:04) Kev: oh the pup the pup is is he’s got healthy six seven months old he’s I mean he’s full size (0:10:11) Kev: he’s gonna be a little guy forever he’s toy variety of poodle but he still is energetic (0:10:12) Codey: Yeah. (0:10:16) Kev: and chaotic as always um still very much puppy um yeah um but uh but he’s yeah he’s a lot of fun (0:10:25) Kev: and still a lot of work, a lot of energy. (0:10:26) Kev: but it’s good. (0:10:29) Kev: Let’s see, other thing, non-puppy things. (0:10:32) Kev: So, I got Kyle and his late birthday gift to Switch 2 on just Friday. (0:10:40) Kev: That was a wild ride because, so the week, Switch 2 is a week out now, basically. (0:10:48) Kev: And I heard people, you know, I didn’t hear any horror stories of PS5, like, oh, it’s not available anywhere. (0:10:54) Kev: I heard everyone was getting it fine and so on. (0:10:56) Kev: And then later in the week I heard, “Oh, this is now the fastest selling console of all time ever.” (0:11:06) Kev: And then when Friday came and I got my paycheck, I was like, “Okay, so where do I get my Switch 2 for Calvin?” (0:11:12) Kev: And, “Oh, oh, it is now sold out everywhere. Oh, and so I’m sweating here.” (0:11:18) Kev: And then I reached out to someone who’s never done me wrong. (0:11:24) Kev: me wrong, someone all reliable. (0:11:26) Kev: you know I heard it was going in and out at stock in some places so I called (0:11:29) Codey: - Ah, yeah. (0:11:35) Kev: my local Costco and sure enough they got him so I was like well you going to (0:11:40) Kev: Costco and so I picked up you know my like switch to and four dozen eggs and (0:11:46) Kev: lemonade you know as one does at the Costco (0:11:48) Codey: Yeah, Costco. Costco also one of the only corporations that did not back off of their queer and diversity stuff when the new administration came in so great, great business to support. (0:12:00) Kev: Yup, yup, yup, Costco generally one of the better ones, not as horribly monstrous as (0:12:11) Kev: other corporations, um, you know, there’s still corporation or whatever, but generally (0:12:17) Kev: I hear good things, um, but anyway, so yeah, so Costco’s great, their food court’s still (0:12:22) Kev: great, um, that I got to switch to at Costco, it came in a bundle, I, I, I drew to Costco, (0:12:28) Kev: There was a discount. (0:12:29) Kev: You get a… (0:12:30) Kev: You get the Switch 2. (0:12:31) Kev: You get the Mario Kart World and a year of the Nintendo Online, the expansion, the better (0:12:37) Codey: live or whatever oh (0:12:40) Kev: one. (0:12:41) Kev: I forget the final price, but it is at a discount, all the stuff all together. (0:12:46) Kev: So that was nice. (0:12:51) Kev: And yeah, so we fired it up, Calvin played a lot of Mario Kart World with Calvin, I see (0:12:56) Kev: for myself, um, it, Mario Kart world is, you know, (0:13:00) Kev: interesting. Like now, now I can understand the process on the stuff Al said. (0:13:05) Kev: So like the Grand Prix is the biggest change because, um, you know, (0:13:09) Kev: in, in all the other Mario karts, it’s okay. Here’s your four courses. (0:13:12) Kev: You run three laps in them or whatever, right? That, that’s just how it is. (0:13:16) Kev: Okay. Now here, it’s not so much like you’re driving to, (0:13:21) Kev: I mean, you are kind of driving to the next track technically, (0:13:23) Kev: but really that’s just part of the Grand Prix. Like instead of three laps, (0:13:28) Kev: There’s three sections and the first section is… (0:13:30) Kev: Okay, drive to, you know, the next track or first or part of it or whatever, so (0:13:36) Kev: It’s less lab continuous laps around a single track and more just going across this entire island in bits and chunks (0:13:45) Kev: So yeah, that is different (0:13:49) Kev: Overall it’s solid. It’s Mario Kart. What can I say? (0:13:52) Kev: But but yeah, it did (0:13:55) Kev: One thing I will say that the huge cast and roster is actually it’s pretty awesome (0:14:01) Kev: just (0:14:02) Kev: Yeah, like cow cow is great actually (0:14:06) Kev: Yeah, and just other random weirdos and losers like the fishbone or pianza (0:14:11) Kev: And even the the main roster that you know the named characters they they have their costumes and a lot of those costumes (0:14:18) Kev: They’re pretty good. I won’t lie (0:14:22) Kev: You get Luigi dressing up like a like a was they called the gondolas in Venice and like one of those guys the gondola (0:14:28) Codey: Oh yeah, yeah, Donna Lear, yeah. (0:14:30) Kev: Yeah, there you go. That’s the word (0:14:33) Kev: Yeah, you get biker characters and just oh, it’s fun (0:14:37) Kev: There’s it’s it’s a lot to see and do (0:14:42) Kev: So yeah, oh, that’s good and the switch to in general (0:14:47) Kev: Holy moly that the technical upgrade is very not just palpable like it’s it’s it’s clear like night and day (0:14:56) Codey: I would hope so. It’s been like 5 years, right? (0:14:57) Kev: And not (0:15:00) Kev: Yeah, no, it’s been almost ten (0:15:04) Codey: Oh my god. (0:15:08) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:15:08) Codey: That’s… I blinked. (0:15:12) Kev: 2016 or 27th, I can’t write the double check but one of those two that’s almost 10 years (0:15:14) Codey: Holy heckaroo. (0:15:18) Codey: Oh my gosh. Yeah, so it sure as heck better be an improvement. (0:15:21) Kev: Yeah, it is (0:15:23) Kev: But what’s nice is you don’t like cuz you know, there’s the whole switch to upgrades for all these games or whatever (0:15:28) Kev: You don’t even have to get it (0:15:30) Kev: I mean it’s like my brother Calvin, he played Splatoon (0:15:32) Kev: And so one of the first things he did was like (0:15:34) Kev: Okay, I’m gonna play Splatoon 2 or 3 or whatever on the new Switch (0:15:38) Kev: And oh yeah, you can see right away (0:15:40) Kev: Dang, look at those frame rates (0:15:42) Kev: They’re real now (0:15:44) Codey: as with the like switch copy, the old copy, it’s backwards compatible. Yeah. (0:15:47) Kev: Yeah, with his Switch copy (0:15:49) Kev: Yeah (0:15:50) Kev: Yeah, it’s backwards compatible (0:15:52) Kev: And he didn’t get an upgrade pack or whatever (0:15:54) Kev: Just running on the better hardware (0:15:57) Kev: like you can do the games just there (0:16:00) Kev: they just run better so very very cool but but yeah so switch to it’s it’s it’s (0:16:07) Codey: Yeah, good that good that you got one. So I was last week (0:16:12) Codey: Last weekend was go fest. I believe question mark (0:16:16) Codey: Yeah, last weekend was yeah last weekend was go fest and so a bunch of us were running around, New York City (0:16:17) Kev: this weekend I i heard (0:16:23) Kev: oh oh new york city go fest yes okay (0:16:23) Codey: and (0:16:25) Codey: friend of friend of the pod Chris Rivate (0:16:29) Kev: - Yeah. (0:16:29) Codey: Was trying to find one man (0:16:34) Codey: And he could not find one (0:16:35) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:37) Codey: He went to some targets. He went to the Nintendo store. He went he couldn’t I don’t know if he’s found one that by now but (0:16:40) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:41) Kev: Yeah. (0:16:42) Kev: Ooh. (0:16:44) Kev: Yeah, ooh, they didn’t have the Nintendo Store. (0:16:46) Kev: That’s rough, ‘cause the Nintendo Store (0:16:48) Kev: generally is pretty stocked with these things. (0:16:48) Codey: Yeah (0:16:50) Codey: Well and my partner’s uh (0:16:52) Codey: The building he works in is right is like the Nintendo building. Basically. It’s like right there (0:16:58) Codey: And he said the week before like all leading up to it (0:17:01) Codey: They had like 30 stations where you could play switch to out like just on the sidewalk (0:17:05) Kev: » Yeah. Oh, that’s cool. (0:17:07) Codey: Um, and yeah, and and those were all gone because i’m assuming they probably still (0:17:15) Codey: Uh, but yeah, it was it was crazy. Um, so many people would switch to stuff and and Pokemon people and (0:17:25) Kev: that’s that’s cool that’s cool but hey um I like I hope chris finds it soon um I i know they’re (0:17:32) Kev: actively trying to you know they’re trying to feed the machine and get restocks everywhere (0:17:36) Kev: I don’t think this is a ps5 situation where it’ll be gone for a year but you know fast to selling (0:17:43) Kev: cons of all time like holy mackerel I don’t think anyone expected that it’s it’s there’s demand for (0:17:48) Kev: it I guess um 10 years yep um (0:17:55) Kev: yeah that’s that’s good I mean overall thumbs up what can I say you know um prices it is what it (0:18:01) Kev: is but you know it’s it’s still good like in a vacuum um oh oh you know what i’m going back (0:18:07) Kev: to mario kart world first because I just remember two other thoughts I want to add first of all um (0:18:10) Codey: Okay. (0:18:11) Kev: so the race is now 24 people in a race right which is kind of insane um but this actually (0:18:18) Kev: had some upsides because the tracks are now really wide generally speaking (0:18:24) Codey: - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, okay. (0:18:26) Kev: which you know there’s still turns that are unforgiving and you’ll fall off or whatever (0:18:30) Kev: but like the golden like the golden mushroom you know the one you can just spam and go go go go (0:18:36) Codey: Mm-hmm (0:18:36) Kev: like that one’s really good now because you can actually just stay on the track instead of just (0:18:40) Kev: flying off in his space yeah so I i actually like that part of it um and then one of the new modes (0:18:40) Codey: You’re not gonna bump off of things yeah (0:18:48) Kev: it’s called knockout rally um I think I like it better than the standard grand prix it it feels (0:18:56) Kev: so how it works is you have your 24 racers and they give you like an eight section chunk of the map (0:19:03) Kev: like okay here’s point a here’s point b c yada yada yada and so every checkpoint the bottom (0:19:10) Kev: four people are eliminated from the race so you start at 24 and at the end of it you’re it’s the (0:19:16) Kev: top four racing for first place of the overall thing um and that’s a fun mode I guess because (0:19:21) Kev: Because as you get towards the end, it feels a little less chaotic and more like the… (0:19:25) Kev: Classic Mario Kart, which is nice because you get a taste of both ends of the spectrum. (0:19:33) Kev: Because yeah, let me tell you, the 24 racers, it’s insane because if you’re in first place or dead last, it’s caught anywhere else. (0:19:42) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:42) Kev: It’s it is blink and you’re 10 places back. It’s insanity. But um… (0:19:46) Codey: Yeah, I used to play track media and it had a thing like that. (0:19:51) Kev: Oh! (0:19:52) Codey: Yeah. (0:19:53) Kev: Yeah, it’s good. I like it a lot. (0:19:55) Kev: Good stuff. Um, I don’t know. Yeah, switch to like I said overall thumbs up Mario Kart. Good stuff (0:20:02) Kev: Alright, let’s see other than that like so that was Calvin’s thing my own things (0:20:06) Kev: I’ve continued to play unicorn overlord the strategy game with a million layers of strategy (0:20:11) Kev: I don’t think I mentioned it so that you can adjust the logic of your your actions, which is insane to me (0:20:19) Kev: So like you’ll have an let’s say an archer, right? They fire an arrow (0:20:22) Kev: oh well, you can set conditions on (0:20:25) Kev: the attack like okay use an arrow on people in the back row or people only flying units or people that have health so on and so forth. It’s just more and more layers on complexity like good complexity of stuff you can do. It’s insane. It’s for crazy weirdos like me. I love it so much. It’s called Unicorn Overlord. It’s on Switch, PS5, Xbox. It’s on all sorts of things. I found it for cheap on Switch like 30 bucks. It’s on the (0:20:55) Kev: It was a $60 full price game when it came out, but it’s it’s cheap now. It’s it’s so good. And I reached the what I forget the name of the place. I reached the country of the beast people. It’s a whole country of like can have human anthropomorphic beast people. You got werewolf people, the bear people, owls, what else? Foxes and cats. I don’t remember. It’s a whole zoo of (0:21:25) Kev: beast people, which is really fun. I don’t know like and they’re you know, they’re kind of their own variation of classes. Like the bears are huge. They have a huge shield and a huge hammer. Oh, I love it. I like it’s it’s fun. It’s a lot of fun. It’s it’s flavorful. But yeah, Unicorn Overlord is good. It’s great for a freak like me. Another than that, the big one in line with the Switch 2. We got back the interwebs. I have internet running in my (0:21:55) Codey: Yay! (0:21:55) Kev: house and recording. I’m catching up on stuff. Zen la zone zero had its big 2.0 update while I was gone. And I floated that it’s a lot of stuff. It’s Zen la zone zero. I’m into it. And you know, it’s for me. But but oh my gosh, so much stuff to catch up on. And then that’s true for like all the other stuff that you know, my usual online haunts and whatnot. But um, but yeah, it’s nice to have that. At least I can watch videos at home now. But yeah, that’s (0:22:25) Kev: That’s what’s going on with me a lot of stuff. I guess works busy. Oh, oh, you know what minor little golf clap for myself here (0:22:34) Kev: so I (0:22:36) Kev: The company I started a couple months ago in February (0:22:40) Kev: My role is now sales engineer (0:22:43) Kev: So I am technically part of sales team a salesperson making sales or should be I made my first sale (0:22:49) Kev: It’s a little one, but it is a first sale. So yeah a golf clap for me. I did a thing (0:22:55) Kev: So yeah, there’s that. Okay. All right, Kevin’s done. All right (0:23:00) Kev: Let’s let’s get into it. All right next stuff. All right, what do we what do we got here? (0:23:04) Codey: Yeah, next is, “I Know What You Released Last Month,” so this is the every month we have a segment at the beginning of the first episode of the month or something which we’re doing it now. (0:23:20) Codey: We just talked about things that came out last month. So this is stuff that might have slipped under our radar, might have been on your radar, but you also have not noticed that it came out. (0:23:30) Kev: Yeah, I see one at least one (0:23:32) Codey: Um, so these are these (0:23:34) Codey: are the things so we oh I do see one too. So we have ratopia to pixellia franamon ea (0:23:40) Kev: That’s okay, okay (0:23:44) Codey: pixelshire or ea being early access pixelshire dole octown early access of life and land 1.0 (0:23:53) Codey: fantasy life I the girl who steals time and battle country do any of these jump out to you (0:23:58) Kev: Okay (0:24:00) Kev: Well, I got one ratopia. It’s a good game. We did the Kelly and all the nepsilon it you go listen to it (0:24:07) Kev: So that’s a thumbs up from me. Um (0:24:09) Kev: The fantasy life I’ve talked about that. I played the DS once good game gonna get the sequel eventually. I’m (0:24:17) Kev: Not yet, but I will get it. But the big one that I missed I didn’t realize it was out cattle (0:24:24) Kev: cattle country (0:24:26) Kev: Good mood, you know (0:24:29) Kev: I want to do that (0:24:31) Kev: So yeah, I’ll be looking at that. I didn’t realize it was out (0:24:35) Codey: - Mm-hmm. (0:24:36) Kev: What about you anything catch your eye (0:24:39) Codey: Of Life and Land caught my eye. (0:24:41) Codey: So that’s a game that I’ve been wanting to play, (0:24:43) Codey: but it’s a terrible time, terrible time to come out. (0:24:47) Codey: So anything could come out for the rest of the year (0:24:51) Codey: and it would be a terrible time. (0:24:51) Kev: No, it’s gonna be so we’re gonna need I know what you released last year (0:24:53) Codey: It’s just gonna be a bad time for me. (0:24:58) Codey: Yeah, and then I can go, it’ll be at the end of the year (0:25:01) Codey: and that’s when I will just have it. (0:25:03) Codey: I will have all the money (0:25:05) Codey: and a big fat job with all those jobs that still exist. (0:25:07) Kev: You go (0:25:09) Codey: Ha, ha, cry. (0:25:14) Kev: Man (0:25:14) Codey: And I’ll have so much money (0:25:15) Codey: and I’ll be like, oh, what can I spend money on? (0:25:18) Codey: No, so, okay. (0:25:19) Kev: Well, I (0:25:20) Codey: Yeah, that, but what? (0:25:21) Kev: Just I just want to add on on that note (0:25:24) Kev: so the company I work for their headquarters is actually in China and (0:25:30) Kev: Our products are manufactured in China with steel from China (0:25:35) Kev: And again, I started this and (0:25:37) Kev: February right like right early February. So like too much jobs into my or two weeks into my job (0:25:44) Kev: You know things happened and then I was like, well, I might be screwed (0:25:49) Codey: Yeah, it’s just up in the air. (0:25:52) Kev: Yup, no, I say that so much jokingly so far it’s okay (0:25:56) Kev: I did not felt shaky security or anything but still the the timing of that was oh (0:26:02) Kev: That was that was wild. Huh? Anyways, but like I said general (0:26:05) Codey: Yeah, it’s a great time to work in conservation, tell you what. (0:26:08) Kev: Oh (0:26:13) Kev: It’s it’s general gestures at the world, right? (0:26:18) Codey: We are here for escapism. (0:26:22) Kev: Yeah, oh, yeah, I want to escape there’s a bandit (0:26:29) Codey: You want to be a bandit? Is it bandit like Bluey’s dad? (0:26:34) Kev: no not that bandit you know we had um momo con in atlanta one of our big cons that one’s very (0:26:41) Kev: like anime focused for whatever reason they brought uh the voices of bandit and chili (0:26:45) Kev: I didn’t go see them but they were here and like dang that was a good get they were they’re like (0:26:52) Kev: the the headlines they’re like top of billing of the the guest list yeah yeah they would be um (0:26:54) Codey: they would be. We have right now, we have a convention near us that has a giant reunion (0:27:04) Codey: of people from Twilight. There’s also Dante Basco, who plays Zuko in Avatar. He has some (0:27:06) Kev: Oh! (0:27:13) Kev: Yo. Yo, we… (0:27:15) Codey: other roles, but my favorite role of his was Rufio and Hook. But yeah, that’s there’s some (0:27:23) Codey: good names in it. (0:27:25) Kev: Yeah, MobileCon was strong this year. They had some good names. I think they also had some Avatar people, um… (0:27:32) Kev: I know, but yeah, but Band and Chili were another like, “Oh, here’s the ones we were highlighting on. Here’s the, like I said, top building and a little guest list or whatever.” (0:27:41) Kev: Um… (0:27:42) Kev: Ah, Louie’s so good. (0:27:45) Kev: We, we gotta, we still have to do a greenhouse episode of How We Talked About It, and I’d love to do it. (0:27:46) Codey: I just need it back. (0:27:49) Codey: Oh my gosh, I’m not ready to cry. (0:27:51) Kev: Just… (0:27:53) Kev: Well, now we… (0:27:56) Kev: Yeah, there’s a lot of episodes that get emotional reactions, more than you’d think. (0:28:04) Codey: - Yeah, there was one that just like out of nowhere, (0:28:06) Codey: hit me and I was just sobbing. (0:28:07) Kev: Alright, which one? (0:28:10) Codey: No, I’m not, wait, it’s a great way for the greenhouse. (0:28:12) Codey: I’ll tell you not on the, yeah. (0:28:13) Kev: Alright, we’ll stay on the greenhouse, okay? (0:28:15) Kev: You know, look, it’s not my number one, but any time they show an older, bluey, I just scream. (0:28:16) Codey: We’ll do a greenhouse sometime soon without that. (0:28:24) Codey: - Yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:28:28) Codey: With the tree and the camping and the, (0:28:29) Kev: Alright. (0:28:30) Kev: Oh, that was a good one. (0:28:32) Codey: that was a good one. (0:28:34) Codey: So that is what released last month. (0:28:35) Kev: Alright, you know what else was good? (0:28:39) Codey: Are you gonna talk about the wholesome directs? (0:28:40) Kev: I was, because that was… (0:28:42) Kev: Yeah, oh yeah, okay, well yeah. (0:28:43) Kev: But that was the stuff that came out. (0:28:45) Kev: Was there any, you know, I’m going too fast here. (0:28:47) Kev: Is there anything else you wanted to talk about on the stuff that came out? (0:28:49) Codey: - No, no. (0:28:50) Kev: Okay, now, I mean, I’d have to… (0:28:53) Kev: I don’t remember all these names off the top of my head (0:28:55) Kev: So maybe a missing one, but I mean either anyways, but yes wholesome direct that was also good Cody (0:29:00) Kev: Do you have any thoughts on the wholesome? (0:29:02) Codey: So, uh, the question that I’ll pose specifically was did I have anything that you guys didn’t say I didn’t listen to last week’s episode yet (0:29:10) Codey: I’m sorry, so (0:29:10) Kev: That’s fine. No, that’s fine. I’m usually a couple weeks behind myself. (0:29:13) Codey: But (0:29:14) Codey: but also I just um, I just like (0:29:20) Codey: Watch the first like I watched the whole host and direct but a lot of it was I was just like I (0:29:26) Codey: Expected that yep. Okay. Yeah, I’ve heard this is coming out. Okay, this this is to be expected (0:29:30) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:29:32) Codey: The only thing that I was super stoked about and I wrote a note down and I put underlined an exclamation point (0:29:38) Codey: Was leaf-blowing games (0:29:40) Kev: Yeah (0:29:42) Kev: So I’m like (0:29:42) Codey: Um, yeah (0:29:44) Kev: Powerwash simulator has established a genre like it’s wild but here we are (0:29:51) Kev: It’s it’s just that satisfaction of I don’t know clean like sing something becoming clean. I guess like I (0:29:59) Kev: Guess that’s I mean I so one of my little habits quarks. I am infamous for (0:30:08) Kev: adjusting like (0:30:10) Kev: If I’m just standing by some are just like waiting for something or whatever and I see like a dusty area I will start (0:30:17) Kev: dusting that thing cuz I (0:30:18) Codey: Yeah, I do stuff like that too. And then it’s really awkward when I’m doing it. And I’m waiting for my friend to get like ready to go do something and then I’m like cleaning up their house and they’re like, Oh, I’m sorry. Am I dirty? And I’m like, No, I just need to do this. (0:30:20) Kev: That’s that’s (0:30:29) Kev: Yeah (0:30:38) Kev: Yeah (0:30:40) Kev: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, so it’s no I’m not trying to shame or do anything just I can make like there’s an opportunity to make a dust (0:30:47) Kev: Bunny here, and that’s that’s that that’s a good one (0:30:48) Codey: Or like, I’m sorry, I looked and this plant, uh, like I checked it and it desperately needs water. So I don’t say that. Oh, that was a big. (0:30:56) Kev: Yeah, oh (0:30:59) Kev: Okay, you know that that one might be a little harder like I could see it cuz you know that that one’s like (0:31:06) Kev: Active care of a living thing right like the dust thing that that just happens passively (0:31:11) Kev: But like I get it and I’m like I’m this. Oh, that’s that’s rough. But um (0:31:17) Kev: But yeah, but it’s the same thing. Yeah, just just chicken something offer, you know (0:31:22) Kev: Hi, yeah, you know what hydrating a plant that is a good one right like seeing the water (0:31:26) Codey: Yeah and like you can, especially like I know how to, I’ve had a lot of these plants like I (0:31:26) Kev: Go in and the soil absorbs it (0:31:32) Codey: go to a friend’s house I see their pothos is looking kind of sad and then I can also first of (0:31:37) Codey: all pop those you can just water the crap out of those they’re fine but like or a monstera or (0:31:42) Codey: something and I you can check the soil you can just dip a finger into the soil and if it is bone (0:31:46) Codey: bone dry just pour a little water and just give her a little love. Especially as grad students like (0:31:50) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:31:53) Codey: we usually have so much going on like (0:31:55) Kev: Yeah (0:31:56) Codey: it’s good to just like take care of something for someone so yeah that (0:31:58) Kev: Yeah, yeah for sure yeah, absolutely I get that and like us (0:32:03) Codey: leaf-blowing game though so it was funny because like I was listening to this (0:32:04) Kev: Yeah. Oh, yeah (0:32:09) Codey: while I was the wholesome direct in the um in the museum that I worked in and (0:32:14) Kev: Uh-huh (0:32:14) Codey: people that were working in the museum were like what are you freaking out (0:32:17) Codey: about I’m like this is a leaf-blowing game and like someone was like what do (0:32:21) Codey: you mean and then someone else started explaining they’re like yeah it’s like (0:32:24) Codey: Like, it’s like– (0:32:26) Codey: like, leafblowing, or, like, there’s a power wash one. (0:32:29) Codey: But, like, why don’t you just, like, get one in real life? (0:32:33) Codey: Why don’t you just go get a leafblower? (0:32:35) Codey: And I’m like, first of all, that’s money. (0:32:36) Kev: It’s money. (0:32:37) Codey: Second of all, I can’t– (0:32:38) Kev: Yeah! (0:32:42) Codey: like, it wouldn’t take me that long to leafblow my yard. (0:32:45) Codey: And then it would be done. (0:32:46) Kev: Yeah (0:32:46) Codey: And then I would have nothing left to leafblow. (0:32:49) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:32:50) Codey: So I also actually have a leafblower already. (0:32:53) Codey: But we– (0:32:55) Kev: Yeah (0:32:56) Codey: Yeah, this is different. (0:32:57) Codey: Like, I can power wash a children’s playground (0:33:01) Codey: as a Stegosaurus, and I can try and get the soccer ball (0:33:03) Codey: to go up the slide and get extra points. (0:33:05) Kev: Yeah, that’s true man, so you know, I live in an apartment so I get even less leaf blower powerwash opportunities or whatever, but (0:33:07) Codey: Like, that’s just– that’s just fun. (0:33:10) Codey: That’s just pure fun. (0:33:21) Kev: The one thing I’ll do on I don’t even do it out of like generous and most times I do out of spite or impatience (0:33:29) Kev: There’ll be shrubs or trees that are just they’re just growing way too long (0:33:33) Kev: Like actually interferes (0:33:35) Kev: Like I need extra clearance for walking or I have more of a hassle for me to go under so I’ll go out and trim him up and oh there we go (0:33:36) Codey: Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. (0:34:02) Kev: I can now walk without having to bend. (0:34:05) Kev: That’s why leaf blower simulator exists for these exact reasons. (0:34:09) Codey: It’s intruding on public space. (0:34:11) Codey: They needed to take care of it and they didn’t. (0:34:35) Kev: Let’s start with updates to games that exist going from old to new. (0:34:40) Kev: We are going to start with Critter crops. (0:34:44) Kev: The witchery born. What a name for an update. (0:34:48) Kev: The witchery born. (0:34:48) Codey: Yeah, that’s a pretty, pretty, like, metal name, yeah, exactly. (0:34:51) Kev: Metal. (0:34:56) Kev: It’s a very cute, cozy art style on critter crops. (0:34:59) Kev: It’s very adorable. I love it. (0:35:01) Kev: called the witch reborn you know it’s the fear street (0:35:03) Codey: Yeah. (0:35:05) Kev: three three four um it. Mm hmm. (0:35:09) Codey: Yeah, so this one adds a new vendor, (0:35:12) Codey: which I’m assuming is the witch, a new grimoire, new UI. (0:35:16) Codey: It adds new turn by turn combat and different customization (0:35:21) Codey: options. (0:35:22) Codey: But I think the biggest thing for y’all, for you and Al, (0:35:25) Codey: and probably for our audience, is complete controller support. (0:35:30) Codey: And they say, quote, this one was a doozy to. (0:35:33) Codey: Implement. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. (0:35:35) Codey: So we recommend not swapping back and forth between joystick and mouse and keyboard. (0:35:42) Kev: Are there people who do that? (0:35:44) Codey: I thought that’s a choice. (0:35:49) Kev: You know what, that’s fine. Let those people- I think those people deserve it, if that’s what they want to do. (0:35:54) Kev: Let them- we’re introducing updates to make their lives more miserable. (0:36:00) Kev: Freaks! (0:36:04) Kev: I’m kidding. Obviously there’s- I’m sure- I look- I don’t mouse and keyboard at all in general, so… (0:36:10) Codey: Or maybe your controller’s dead. (0:36:11) Codey: Maybe you have ADHD and you forgot to charge it. (0:36:12) Kev: Yeah. (0:36:15) Codey: Can’t relate, but– (0:36:15) Kev: Yeah, look, the obvious use case is you need to type something, you know, a thing pops up, well… (0:36:20) Codey: Oh, true, true. (0:36:22) Kev: Just keyboard away, like, yeah. No, I’m sure it exists, but… (0:36:24) Codey: Multitasking. (0:36:28) Kev: Yeah, alright, but that- that- like, I’m just looking at this big list, um… (0:36:33) Kev: That- that’s a lot of stuff, um, like, holy mackerel, that is- they just had a truckload of updates on their little steam blurb, (0:36:42) Kev: like, revamp combat, that’s huge, holy mackerel. (0:36:46) Codey: » Mm-hmm. (0:36:47) Kev: Um, good for them, um, and controller support, yeah, that’s a big one. (0:36:48) Codey: » Yeah. Go for them. (0:36:51) Codey: So this is technically their 2.0 update. (0:36:53) Codey: So it’s already out, it’s 1999, (0:36:55) Codey: it’s only on Windows. (0:36:57) Codey: So this just adds some new content and updates some things. (0:37:03) Codey: No, sir. I’m not sure if you heard the dog. (0:37:06) Kev: I might want to play this. This game is so cute. I’m just looking at this art style. It’s it’s (0:37:11) Codey: I think when we initially looked at this, (0:37:11) Kev: adorable (0:37:14) Codey: of the art style was not my favorite. (0:37:16) Codey: But it’s growing on me. It’s growing. (0:37:17) Kev: I (0:37:18) Kev: like it and these these (0:37:21) Kev: Everything’s kind of bouncing cute. I look just look at it people to go click on the link in the show notes. It’s good one (0:37:28) Kev: That’s critter. Yeah, it’s 2.0. You’re right (0:37:30) Kev: Um, I buy will likely especially now has controller support. Yeah, this one’s on my list now (0:37:36) Kev: officially oh (0:37:39) Kev: All right, um, what do we have next? (0:37:44) Codey: Next up is Travelers Rest, so they have a new thing called Pet Party, (0:37:54) Codey: which is an expansion, not an expansion, a DLC question. (0:37:58) Kev: I have pet parties at home. It’s called lucky wants to just jump on me and lick my face a lot and man (0:38:04) Codey: So this is the 0.7, 0.1 update, so this is still in early access, still earlier on, and they basically (0:38:11) Codey: we just added a pet. I think he had a cat before, but I’m (0:38:14) Codey: going to have a dog, dog will follow you around and it’ll (0:38:17) Codey: dig things up. And when you see like the little they dig and (0:38:22) Codey: there’s a little symbol, you can also dig and you can get stuff (0:38:25) Codey: out of the ground. It also adds the artifacts table. So you (0:38:31) Codey: might uncover some archaeological things. And then (0:38:35) Codey: you can use the artifacts table to make them into things to (0:38:39) Codey: decorate your home. So I think the dogs are cute. (0:38:44) Codey: They have a lot of options for it. Also, yeah, also in the (0:38:48) Kev: Yeah, this is Saint Bernard, that’s wild. (0:38:53) Codey: building. So you get these in the from a new building with (0:38:57) Codey: new NPCs, they’re called the buildings called the burrow is (0:39:01) Codey: basically an animal shelter. They have like a red panda in (0:39:05) Codey: there. They have some other stuff that currently you cannot (0:39:10) Codey: get, but it it there it would be nice. It would be (0:39:14) Codey: nice to get some of this stuff. Yeah. (0:39:16) Kev: Yeah, I can’t have a breadband in real life, so you know I’d like one virtually (0:39:22) Kev: That they have a dog with a cone on it (0:39:24) Kev: I don’t think I’ve seen that before in a game or you know one of these cottagecore games so props to them for that (0:39:30) Codey: I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in a game. (0:39:33) Kev: You might be right I don’t think I have either (0:39:36) Codey: I can’t believe Sims hasn’t done that yet. (0:39:38) Kev: Yeah, I’m surprised Sims hasn’t done that for people (0:39:45) Codey: I wonder if that’s a choice you can have. (0:39:46) Kev: You (0:39:49) Codey: And then, you know, I wouldn’t be surprised. (0:39:49) Kev: Know (0:39:51) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I don’t I’m never surprised by anything in Sims. I was just like yeah sure I believe they’d do it (0:39:58) Kev: You know I’ve always been a little hard on travelers rest because it’s you know so (0:40:04) Kev: Star Dewey, but man they’ve really made this game robust. They’re supporting it law is strong like good for them (0:40:13) Kev: Yeah, it’s impressive. I you know to the tip of my head (0:40:16) Kev: Cuz that’s a that’s good work (0:40:20) Kev: Is it is it changing my mind? Maybe a little I’m impressed (0:40:23) Codey: Well, it’s not at 1.0 yet, so you’ve got some time. (0:40:27) Kev: It is not one but you know what yeah, that’s right that that is my general bar (0:40:32) Kev: So what you know, but you’ve caught my interest, you know 1.1 drops. Maybe I’ll pick it up. Remember (0:40:40) Kev: All right, you know what is past 1.0 pixel. Yeah is we talked we actually mint (0:40:46) Kev: Didn’t we mention it? Yeah (0:40:47) Codey: Yeah, so it came out last month, and they have now brought out Steam Deck and controller support and key rebinding support. (0:40:59) Codey: And here, Al has a comment. (0:41:05) Codey: Al, not on the pod, but he commented, “Both of these should have been there at launch.” (0:41:10) Codey: Quote. (0:41:10) Kev: You know what, yes, and you know what, I’m going to say that as a blanket statement for any game on a PC. (0:41:11) Codey: Yeah. (0:41:18) Kev: Like, okay, maybe not every, there’s like, I’m sure there’s a 1% like, this game does not need a controller, but if your game could use a controller at launch with controller support, please, please. (0:41:30) Codey: Yeah, so this is what Al said, and I am going to retweet, share, like, subscribe to this comment. (0:41:37) Codey: Quote, “I am not going to stop complaining when games launch without even the most (0:41:41) Codey: basic controller or remapping support. It should be built into games from the very first time (0:41:47) Codey: you do any key mapping in the first place. It is not just for Steam Deck users, it is an (0:41:52) Codey: accessibility feature. Granted, they did add both within two months, but they should have been there (0:42:00) Codey: version.” Yeah. (0:42:00) Kev: yep yep and you know what like I for those early access or betas like I you know I can get it you (0:42:07) Kev: know how to control support but if you do 1.0 you’re crossing that line you you gotta do it just (0:42:08) Codey: Yeah. (0:42:13) Kev: come on you gotta look a little professional right like and I get it can be hard I get it that can (0:42:19) Kev: be worked the what was it the the other critter crops they said that was hard and you know what (0:42:24) Kev: they’re probably right but you just (0:42:27) Codey: - Oh yeah, you’re basically like releasing your game (0:42:31) Codey: or just some people, but like for some of your base. (0:42:38) Codey: But if there are people who are reliant on controller (0:42:42) Codey: support or keyboard remapping to be able to play a game, (0:42:46) Codey: period, then you’re basically limiting, (0:42:51) Codey: those people can’t play your game at launch. (0:42:53) Codey: And so everyone else is gonna be off playing it (0:42:55) Codey: and enjoying it. (0:42:57) Codey: They’re going to be Squidward in his house, looking at SpongeBob and Patrick running around, having fun. (0:42:58) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:43:07) Kev: That meme is so good (0:43:08) Codey: I love that meme. I post that meme all the time. (0:43:11) Kev: So, I mean really, you know like I mean you and me are roughly in the same age (0:43:17) Kev: Group, right? So, you know those first two seasons spongebob that we know when they kind of defined a large part of our brain and life (0:43:25) Kev: and vocabulary on but (0:43:28) Kev: But the memes are very strong from spongebob. That’s such a good one (0:43:28) Codey: - Yeah, they are, they’re endearing. (0:43:34) Kev: Yep, oh (0:43:36) Kev: But okay. Well that all said it is out on pixalia. Um, so good for them for finally getting it out (0:43:44) Kev: You know just a few warning to you know using our (0:43:49) Kev: Influencer power here on all these games that clearly listen to us (0:43:53) Kev: Game devs listening to us put your put your controls report at once (0:43:57) Codey: - I mean, I will, I’ll jump on a high horse. (0:43:59) Codey: I think that like these games are geared (0:44:02) Codey: for neurodivergent folks towards like, (0:44:05) Codey: they are for people who are different. (0:44:06) Kev: Yeah. That’s a good point. (0:44:10) Codey: And so it’s something that like, yeah, (0:44:13) Codey: like not having that out at the jump is like kind of weird (0:44:19) Codey: to exclude basically your biggest fan base. (0:44:22) Codey: It’s like, if they were like, oh, (0:44:24) Kev: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:44:24) Codey: we’re going to make a new harvest moon. (0:44:27) Codey: game but you can only be a boy and then a month in suddenly you can be a girl and you can be (0:44:33) Codey: a different race and you like so I it’s it’s 2025 y’all we are past this I thought (0:44:42) Kev: Yeah. (0:44:44) Codey: but yeah good on them for getting it out ASAP but uh just to be warned else um please have this out (0:44:52) Codey: like after Trump (0:44:56) Kev: All right, what do we got next? (0:45:00) Codey: Next up, sorry, next up is Lightyear Frontier. (0:45:03) Codey: They have their new ELC slash what it called, (0:45:08) Codey: just content update. (0:45:09) Codey: Yeah, it’s just content update. (0:45:11) Codey: It’s the shipping gear update. (0:45:13) Codey: It just adds a lot ton of new content. (0:45:18) Kev: settings and things. (0:45:18) Codey: So yeah, settings, there’s modular building, (0:45:21) Codey: there’s new tools, there’s new types to cross and mounds. (0:45:26) Codey: There’s mech, there’s health. (0:45:28) Kev: health? What do you mean adding mech health? There’s an inn already? (0:45:30) Codey: And your mech, yeah, it’s true. (0:45:36) Codey: New minerals to the game world, a day length setting, (0:45:40) Codey: a setting where you can auto hide the heads up display, (0:45:43) Codey: which is super dope, adding a quick deposit accelerator (0:45:46) Codey: in storage contract menus, (0:45:48) Codey: 100% love whenever you add quick deposit things. (0:45:52) Codey: You don’t have to click a button a million times. (0:45:55) Codey: Um, I mean, it seems like, uh, it’s, it’s, uh, yeah. (0:46:00) Codey: It’s an update that kind of fixes a lot of the small little, yeah, yeah, um, yeah, they (0:46:04) Kev: they’re literally changing physics in the game that’s there’s several bullets on physics (0:46:12) Codey: also have, uh, some changes to physics and some bug fixes and they have a new roadmap (0:46:17) Codey: and the new roadmap, um, includes, so in development, so we’re still in early access for this game. (0:46:24) Codey: The things that are in development, so they are happening, um, are (0:46:30) Codey: more mech customization, more ruins and lore, biome, building pieces, um, in exploration (0:46:37) Codey: stuff they’re thinking about doing, but, uh, is not quite on the horizon, is mech powered (0:46:44) Codey: resource hauling, so I guess your mech’s carrying resources for you, new hazards and terrain, (0:46:51) Codey: and then some other things for consideration, if I see controller support in here, I’m gonna (0:46:56) Codey: can lose it. Um, multiplayer. (0:46:58) Kev: Hahahaha at least (0:47:00) Codey: Or expanded automation, uh, creative mode, fast travel, mod support. Okay, cool. (0:47:07) Kev: Mm-hmm. Well, I’d say yeah (0:47:11) Kev: Yeah, do you think road map should have at least target tentative dates? (0:47:16) Kev: I feel like they should because I don’t know that that feels like the map part to me, but (0:47:23) Kev: That’s just like a general statement like a month (0:47:26) Kev: You know, because they list all this, but there’s no dates or anything. (0:47:28) Kev: You know, again, I know that work is hard. They’d probably be wrong anyways, but… (0:47:35) Codey: It’s nice to give people some idea because

Revisiting U.S.-China Relations: Manufacturing, Tariffs, and Opportunities with John LingWelcome to another episode of the Asia Business Podcast. This week, we're joined by John Ling, Managing Director at LinVest Consulting. John has a wealth of experience in facilitating inbound foreign investment into the United States, particularly from China. As the dynamics between the US and China continue to evolve, John provides an essential perspective on the current state of manufacturing investments and the impact of tariffs on these decisions.Connect with JohnVisit LinVestA Glimpse into the US-China Tariff LandscapeIn light of ongoing trade tensions, tariffs have become a significant factor influencing Chinese companies' decisions to manufacture in the US. John explains that while tariffs are a considerable consideration, they are by no means the sole driver for Chinese investments. Other critical factors include supply chain stability and the state of overcapacity within China. This comprehensive approach has led many Chinese companies to view the US as a lucrative market opportunity.Historical Context and Current TrendsJohn delves into the history of Chinese investments in the US, reminiscing about the pioneers who dared to establish manufacturing operations in America decades ago. This historical context provides a backdrop to current trends, where meaningful Chinese investment projects are increasingly commonplace. Despite political headwinds and the complexities of US tariff policies, many projects have thrived, demonstrating the long-term profitability of these ventures.Challenges and Strategic AdaptationsDespite the challenges posed by tariffs, especially those reaching as high as 145% on certain products, Chinese companies have found innovative ways to adapt. For instance, some have capitalized on their operational excellence and responsiveness to customer demands. This adaptability has allowed them to maintain competitiveness in the US market, often outpacing domestic peers in terms of quality and pricing.Joint Ventures and Local PartnershipsAn interesting development noted by John is the growing openness among Chinese investors to consider joint ventures and partnerships in the US. This trend mirrors the historical path taken by US companies entering China and is seen as a strategic move to mitigate risks and foster cooperation. Such collaborations hold promise in bridging cultural and operational gaps, benefiting both parties involved.Policy and Incentive LandscapeWhile some may have anticipated increased incentives from state and federal governments, the reality is more nuanced. John emphasizes that decisions to invest should not rely solely on incentives but rather on broader strategic considerations. Nonetheless, a fair and stable political environment remains crucial for planning significant capital investments.Forecasting Future DevelopmentsLooking forward, John remains optimistic about the potential for improved US-China relations, driven by mutual benefits and strategic interests. He speculates that as governments engage in negotiations, more opportunities for Chinese manufacturing projects in the US may arise. This could mirror the path taken by Japanese companies decades ago, fostering better understanding and trust between nations.Conclusion and Contact InformationIn closing, the conversation with John Ling sheds light on the intricate interplay of tariffs, strategic adaptation, and international partnerships shaping the manufacturing landscape between China and the US. For those interested in further insights or potential collaborations, John is accessible via LinkedIn or through LinVest LLC. Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:54 Impact of Tariffs on Chinese Manufacturing in the US01:16 Historical Context and Evolution of Chinese Investment03:48 Current Challenges and Strategic Adjustments07:44 Success Stories and Future Outlook16:13 Government Policies and Incentives25:11 Cultural and Operational Insights37:24 Conclusion and Contact Information  ProducerJacob ThomasFollow UsLinkedInApple Podcasts

What the Riff?!?
1972 - October: Delaney & Bonnie "D&B Together"

What the Riff?!?

One of the more underrated - some might say virtually lost - bands of the early rock era is Delaney & Bonnie.  This singer-songwriter duo is made of session guitarist/vocalist Delaney Bramlett and his wife and former Ikette Bonnie Bramlett.  Just as important as this founding couple is the number of talented musicians they brought into their recordings, with albums often being referenced as recorded by "Delaney & Bonnie and friends."  These "friends" included luminaries such as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Steve Howe, and Rita Coolidge.  D&B Together is the sixth and final album from Delaney & Bonnie.  Originally entitled "Country Life," the album was delivered to Atco/Atlantic Records behind schedule and rushed into distribution.  Although Atlantic executive Jerry Wexler was a friend of the duo, he didn't think the quality was where it needed to be and withdrew it from the market.  He later sold the contract and the album's master tapes to CBS, who reordered the running sequence and re-released it in March 1972.  In addition to frequent collaborators Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, and Duane Allman, this album also contains the work of "friends" like Dave Mason, Billy Preston, and Tina Turner. Despite the title, Delaney and Bonnie would divorce shortly after the album came out.  Drugs were taking their toll on the couple and their relationship could not survive it.  However, they did have a daughter named Bekka Bramlett, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1993-1995 and had a long career as a backing vocalist in the music industry.Bruce presents this underrated rock/soul album for this week's podcast.Comin' HomeThis song was released in December 1969 by Atco Records (US) and Atlantic Records (international).  It was co-written by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton, and features Eric Clapton.  It went to number 84 on the US pop charts.  The lyrics are about being on the road and getting ready to come home to the one the singer loves.  Only You Know and I KnowDave Mason originally wrote and recorded this song in 1970, and it became his first charting single, going to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Delaney & Bonnie re-recorded it and took it to number 20 on the same chart.  This single was released in 1971, another single that came out before the album.  I Know Something Good About YouThis is a deeper cut on the album with an upbeat, funky sound.  It was written by Delaney Bramlett and Joe Hicks.  Groupie (Superstar)Most people recognize this as a hit from the Carpenters, but this is the original.  Rita Coolidge came up with the idea after observing female groupies with rock starts in the late 60's, and the song was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.  It was the B-side to "Comin' Home."  Richard Carpenter picked it up for the Carpenters, and changed some of the lyrics to be less risqué.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series The RookiesThis police action series debuted in October 1972. STAFF PICKS:And You and I by YesWayne leads off the staff picks with an excerpt of the 10+ minute work written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire. The entire song consists of four parts, but the first two were released as a single edit which hovered just outside the top 40 on the Billboard charts.   You Wear It Well by Rod StewartRob brings us the first single from Stewart's fourth studio album, "Never a Dull Moment."  It went to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the UK singles chart.  Many consider this an arrangement of Stewarts hit "Maggie May."  As with his previous album, members of the Faces join in as musicians on "Never a Dull Moment."Lean On Me by Bill WithersLynch features a song written and performed by Withers.  It was inspired by his experience growing up in a mining town in West Virginia. The community ethic of that town was something Withers missed when he moved to Los Angeles.  It was the first single from Withers' second album, "Still Bill." Turn to Stone by BarnstormBruce brings us a song inspired by frustration over the Vietnam War, the Nixon Administration, and the protesting that was going on at the time.  Joe Walsh left the James Gang and formed a group called Barnstorm.  The group put out three albums including one with the wonderful title "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get."  This song is off the group's self-titled debut album.  COMEDY TRACK:My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck BerryWe close out this week's podcast with Berry's double entendre masterpiece, on the charts in this month.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Estás escuchando #JUNTOSRadio, ¿Cuáles son las principales barreras lingüísticas que enfrentan los latinos en el sistema de salud en EE. UU.?, ¿Qué errores pueden surgir si se utiliza a un hablante bilingüe sin entrenamiento en vez de a un intérprete médico?  Francisco Martínez, Director del Programa de Coaching Cultural y Lingüístico      de Children's Mercy  Hospital Kansas City. Nos responde a estas y otras preguntas.  Más sobre nuestro invitado, Francisco “Paco” Martínez, nació en la Ciudad de México y creció en San Luis Potosí. Paco ha obtenido la certificación como maestro extranjero de inglés, COTE, del Consejo Británico, y es intérprete de atención de la salud certificado en español, CHI-S™, y se graduó como administrador de empresas y con una maestría en Inglés. Paco empezó a trabajar como intérprete en el hospital de Children's Mercy Kansas City en 2014. Su posición actual es la de administrador del Programa de Entrenadores de Cultura y Lengua. La meta del programa es la seguridad en la comunicación en español evitando los malentendidos entre los profesionales y sus pacientes o clientes, colaborando con los profesionales para que sus destrezas comunicativas orales y su comprensión cultural de las tradiciones y creencias de los inmigrantes de diferentes orígenes sean comparables con las que tienen de su propia lengua y cultura y así asegurar un servicio y un trato digno a la persona. La meta final es que los profesionales en el programa alcancen el estatus de empleados bilingües calificados a través de exámenes validados nacionales y den sus servicios sin intérpretes.    Paco es uno de los comisionados de la Comisión para la Certificación de Interpretes en Atención de la Salud, CCHI, por sus siglas en inglés, y es uno de los directores de MICATA, la sección en el Medio-Oeste de la Asociación de Traductores Americana. También, hace trabajo voluntario en el programa Avanzando de la Universidad de Missouri en Kansas City, UMKC, apoyando a estudiantes Latinx para que terminen sus estudios universitarios y cuando el tiempo le alcanza, como intérprete voluntario en la Clínica JayDoc para la comunidad del Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas, KUMC.

Becoming Singapore's youngest parliamentarian was just the beginning.In Part Two of this conversation, Tin Pei Ling reflects on how she's evolved as a leader, mother, policymaker, and public voice. From walking the campaign trail just days after giving birth, to pursuing an MBA mid-term while managing a constituency, her path isn't about having it all—it's about knowing what to give, and when.She opens up about the guilt of missing milestones, the value of learning from older peers, and the real cost of public service. She also shares her ongoing fight for women's empowerment, elderly inclusion, mental wellness, and Singapore's digital future. For anyone navigating multiple roles at once, Pei Ling's story is a case study in conviction—and quiet strength.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Why She Chose an MBA—After Already Getting Elected“Politics was public. But I needed something personal—to grow, stretch, and see the world differently.”What Booth Taught Her (Besides Economics)“I wasn't just learning frameworks. I was building a new lens through which to see leadership.”Motherhood, Duty, and the Election That Didn't Wait“Two weeks after giving birth, I was out campaigning. I came home to a baby who'd grown before my eyes.”There's No Perfect Balance—Only Trade-Offs“As an MP, an employee, and a mother, I've had to make hard choices. But I've never walked alone.”Why Support Systems Are Everything“Behind every successful woman is an ecosystem. Mine includes teammates, voters, bosses, and family.”From Guilt to Advocacy: Fighting for Women's Aspirations“Not everyone has what I had. That's why I fight for better policies—for every woman with a dream.”Mental Health, Aging, and the Power of Policy“Youth need tools. Seniors need dignity. My job is to speak for both.”Why Digital Fluency Is a Women's Issue Too“Tech can empower women—if we help them unlock it. That's what smart nations really need: smart, supported women.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Tin Pei Ling  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

What happens when your first job in politics comes with public ridicule, online harassment, and sky-high expectations?At 27, Tin Pei Ling became Singapore's youngest female Member of Parliament. But what looked like a bold milestone from the outside was also the darkest chapter of her life. In Part One of this candid conversation, Pei Ling opens up about walking away from a stable consulting job, the backlash she faced as a “too young” candidate, and why she chose to fight for trust instead of attention.This is not a story about instant triumph. It's a story about resilience in public, self-doubt in private, and choosing to grow anyway. Whether you're 22 or 52, this episode redefines what it means to earn your place—without needing to shout for it.Key Highlights of Our Interview:From Psychology to Politics: A Career Rerouted by Life“My dream was to be a clinical psychologist—but when my father had a heart attack, everything changed.”The Consulting Detour That Built Her Backbone“Ernst & Young taught me structure, speed, and how to handle steep learning curves. I still use that training today.”The Election That Changed Everything“I was the youngest, the newest, the most criticized—and it nearly broke me.”A Sacred Duty, Not Just a Title“Once I got elected, I quit my job. If people trusted me with their votes, I had to give them my full time.”No Days Off: What Real Ground Work Looks Like“Parliament, emails, grassroots events—being an MP means being on call, always.”How She Faced Ageism—and Turned It Into Strength“People looked at me and asked, ‘Who are you to understand my life?' I answered with presence, not perfection.”Silence, Cynicism, and Social Media Attacks“People made up stories about my personal life. Every night I cried, every morning I showed up again.”Why She's Still Grateful for the Pain“That period shaped my emotional growth. Today, I'm more resilient—and I have a story that might help someone else.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Tin Pei Ling  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Easy Catalan: Learn Catalan with everyday conversations | Converses del dia a dia per aprendre català

Tema del dia Després del Club de Lectura del mes de març, entrevistem l'autor del llibre, per a tots aquells que el vulgueu conèixer amb més profunditat o no hàgin pogut assistir a les videotrucades. En aquest episodi li preguntarem també per la seva faceta com a professor de català i com a divulgador de l'argot juvenil. Som-hi! Està bé, això! Portal Com ho diria? (https://www.ub.edu/comhodiria/) L'expressió de la setmana Fer mans i mànigues ('Esforçar-se molt per aconseguir alguna cosa, fer tots els possibles d'aconseguir-la.') Bonus Pensant en Sant Jordi, en Xavier ens recomana autors catalans o traduïts al català, així com pòdcasts per estar al dia de les novetats en literatura catalana. Fes-te membre de la comunitat per sentir tots els bonus! (https://easycatalan.org/membership) Novel·les La mort i la primavera, de Mercè Rodoreda Fanny, de Carles Soldevila Veus al ras, de Sebastià Perelló Jo, vosaltres, de Jo Maymó La campana, d'Iris Murdoch El mar, el mar, d'Iris Murdoch Pòdcasts L'illa de Maians (https://open.spotify.com/show/5pdHwymppf9fs5UdMyTAFl) Ciutat Maragda (https://open.spotify.com/show/7yWAqRAK6tdE2BUla15MZQ) Gent de merda (https://open.spotify.com/show/4pjW8h2rXiE2j3BeseESzN) Transcripció Andreu: [0:15] Bon dia! Com ja sabeu, aquest mes de març vam estar molt entretinguts a la comunitat llegint un llibre en català, titulat "La mort lenta". Ha estat la primera edició del Club de Lectura en aquest format, i crec que puc parlar per la majoria si dic que ha estat una experiència molt enriquidora, especialment durant les videotrucades, que és on vam poder intercanviar pensaments i opinions sobre la novel·la amb tots els participants. L'última videotrucada va ser amb l'autor, el Xavier Mas Craivotto, i va ser d'allò més interessant, perquè ens va explicar anècdotes sobre el procés d'escriptura i ens va parlar, entre d'altres coses, de com els personatges encara viuen dins seu i encara hi pensa, anys després d'haver publicat el llibre. Una altra cosa molt curiosa és que va quedar sorprès amb algunes de les preguntes i comentaris que li vam fer, perquè segons ell eren reflexions molt profundes que tenien tot el sentit del món, però que ni tan sols es va plantejar mentre escrivia el llibre, o com a mínim no, de manera conscient. Però resulta que el Xavier no només es relaciona amb les paraules i amb la llengua escrivint llibres, sinó també ensenyant-les i divulgant-les, ja que ha estat professor de català a l'estranger durant uns anys i, a més, va iniciar el projecte "Com ho diria", que és una web que recull les paraules que utilitzen els joves catalans. Per això, aquell dia, després de la conversa que vam tenir, vam proposar-li de gravar una entrevista per al pòdcast perquè ens parlés de tots aquests projectes i també, per què no, perquè ens fes algunes recomanacions literàries de cara a Sant Jordi. Així que, sense més preàmbuls, sentim l'entrevista! Andreu: [1:51] Xavier Mas Craviotto, bon dia, com estàs? Xavier: [1:53] Bon dia, què tal? Andreu: [1:55] Molt bé! Bé, com has vist aquest club de lectura? Xavier: [1:57] Ha sigut una experiència fantàstica, la veritat, perquè era el meu primer club de lectura amb persones que estan aprenent català i m'ha sorprès moltíssim el tipus de preguntes que feien. M'han fet preguntes que no m'havien fet mai sobre un llibre que ja fa anys que corre i, per tant, l'he pogut acompanyar molt, i es fixaven molt en detalls que jo potser no havia vist o es notava que havien llegit el llibre amb molta cura, molt al detall i que n'havien parlat moltíssim, no? Andreu: [2:27] Sí, com hem comentat, hem estat comentant el llibre capítol per capítol, fixant-nos en moltes coses, molts petits detalls, i el que té de bo això dels clubs de lectura és que una persona es fixa en una cosa, l'altra en l'altra i el fet de poder-ho compartir fa que l'experiència sigui molt més enriquidora. A més a més, hem comentat ara, a la videotrucada, que ha estat una primera experiència en molts sentits. Com has dit tu ara, el primer cop que feies un club de lectura amb aprenents de català, per nosaltres ha sigut el primer club de lectura amb aquest format. Sí que, dintre de la comunitat s'han llegit altres llibres, hi ha com un club de lectura autogestionat, per tant, ara simplement hem canviat una mica el format. I també ha estat la primera vegada que alguns dels membres han llegit un llibre en català. Per tant, has estrenat, diguéssim, o hem estrenat, amb aquest llibre, no?, moltes coses. Xavier: [3:18] Sí, i tant. Andreu: [3:19] Bé, aquest llibre va ser, "La mort lenta", va ser la primera novel·la que vas escriure, no? Xavier: [3:23] Sí, jo quan tenia 17 anys en vaig escriure un altre, el que passa és que, per sort, no es va publicar a través d'una editorial. Perquè… He dit "per sort", perquè era molt jove i ara quan me la miro em fa una mica de vergonya, no?, però era la part pràctica del meu treball de recerca de batxillerat. Jo vaig fer el treball de recerca dels temes que afecten els joves, com estan tractats en literatura juvenil, per exemple, l'anorèxia, les drogues, el bullying... I com a part pràctica, com que ja m'agradava escriure, em vaig proposar, doncs, fer una novel·la juvenil sobre un d'aquests temes. Llavors, aquí hi ha un precedent, però és veritat que "La mort lenta" és la meva primera novel·la publicada, diguem-ne, que ja vaig escriure una mica més gran. Andreu: [4:10] D'acord, clar, per als lectors és la primera. Xavier: [4:13] Exacte. Andreu: [4:14] Clar, amb "La mort lenta" vas guanyar el premi Documenta l'any 2018 i, si no m'equivoco, això et va convertir en l'autor més jove que l'ha rebut mai. Xavier: [4:23] Sí, això diuen. Andreu: [4:25] Com ho vas viure, això? Publicar la teva primera novel·la i ja, de cop, rebre aquest reconeixement i d'altres que han vingut després? Xavier: [4:33] Clar, va ser tota una sorpresa, perquè al final tu, quan comences a escriure, no?, jo ja feia anys que escrivia, però quan t'hi comences a posar més seriosament, jo em vaig començar a presentar alguns premis, perquè em sembla que els premis són una bona plataforma quan comences, perquè darrere d'un premi hi ha un jurat de professionals que decideixen que allò que tu has enviat és publicable, no? Llavors, això sempre tranquil·litza molt, no?, però tu ho vas provant, i clar, quan et truquen d'un premi com el Documenta, que a més a més era un premi que jo havia seguit molt i que el que havien premiat m'havia interessat molt… Clar, quan et truquen i et diuen que tu formaràs part d'aquella llista de noms, t'agafa un vertigen, no?, i la primera pregunta que et ve al cap és: "Però què hi faig, jo, aquí?", no? Però… I després això, hi va haver la segona sorpresa quan els periodistes o alguns periodistes van dir… van començar a fer càlculs i van dir: "Ets l'escriptor més jove que l'ha guanyat mai", però bé, això al final... Andreu: [5:32] És anecdòtic. Xavier: [5:33] Sí, és anecdòtic, exacte. Però bé, va ser l'oportunitat de poder publicar el meu primer llibre, no? I sempre fa molta il·lusió, evidentment, i més si ve acompanyat per un premi com el Documenta. Andreu: [5:45] Clar, els que t'hem seguit una mica, hem llegit alguna obra teva, t'hem vist parlant de novel·les, com "La mort lenta", però també de poemaris, no? De fet, potser ets més conegut, diria jo, com a poeta? Xavier: [5:56] No t'ho sabria dir, la veritat, perquè suposo que és una percepció que, clar, jo no puc dir de mi mateix, però sí que m'agrada molt conrear tots dos gèneres, eh?, la narrativa i la poesia, i de fet intento conrear-los simultàniament, perquè m'agrada que s'alimentin l'un de l'altre, i també m'agrada molt tenir aquest contacte amb els lectors, com hem tingut ara fa una estona, no? Tant en clubs de lectura per comentar les novel·les, per exemple, però també m'agrada molt fer recitals, no?, de poesia. Llavors, m'agrada molt tot el que m'aporta cadascun dels gèneres, tot i que és veritat que a l'hora d'escriure jo tampoc els concebo com a categories tancades, eh? Per mi no hi ha una frontera entre gèneres, a mi m'agrada molt jugar sempre entre gèneres i situar-me en aquest punt fronterer entre el que es consideren els gèneres, però el que és després, no?, a l'hora de… quan ja publiques el llibre i l'acompanyes, doncs, m'agrada molt el que m'aporta cadascun d'ells, perquè són coses diferents. Andreu: [6:54] De fet, a la novel·la hem notat una mica aquesta part més lírica, no? Xavier: [6:58] Sí. Andreu: [6:59] Crec que s'entreveu entre les línies. D'acord. Clar, els nostres oients o alguns membres de la comunitat potser no et coneixen tant com a escriptor com com a professor de català, perquè abans ho has dit a la videotrucada amb els participants del Club de Lectura, vas treballar com a professor, com a lector, no?, de català, al Regne Unit, a Bristol. Què t'hi va portar, allà? Xavier: [7:25] Jo ja tenia clar que era una de les sortides de Filologia Catalana, que és la carrera que vaig estudiar, el que passa és que després del grau vaig fer un postgrau, i enmig del postgrau va venir la pandèmia, no? Llavors, vam acabar el postgrau en línia, des de casa, quan estàvem tots tancats. Imagina't, el març del 2020. I llavors vaig veure les convocatòries del lectorat de l'Institut Ramon Llull i vaig decidir que volia marxar, que era el moment. Imagina't, enmig de la pandèmia i enmig del Brèxit, jo vaig decidir que era el moment més adequat del món per anar-me'n a l'estranger uns anys, no? Però ha sigut una de les millors decisions de la meva vida, una de les millors etapes de la meva vida. A mi m'agrada molt ensenyar català, allà també, a més, ensenyava literatura catalana, art, política, història dels Països Catalans, i llavors, clar, és molt bonic veure com any rere any tens desenes i desenes i desenes d'estudiants que s'enamoren de la llengua, que s'interessen per la nostra cultura, per la nostra literatura, pel nostre art, i és molt gratificant, no?, perquè tens la sensació que tot i ser lluny de casa encara tens un peu a casa. És una mica com ser casa. I això, aquest vincle que fas amb els estudiants, no?, perquè com que s'ho agafen amb aquest entusiasme, s'acaba creant un ambient molt bonic a les classes, no?, i es creen vincles també molt bonics. De fet, encara estic en contacte amb alguns estudiants que vaig tenir, tot i que ara ja no soc a Bristol, i m'agrada molt saber com els va la vida, saber que continuen estudiant català, sabent que continuen venint a Barcelona de tant en tant… A mi em fa molt content, això, veure que hi ha hagut aquesta continuïtat. Andreu: [8:59] De fet, ara compartim estudiants, o ara he agafat el relleu d'alguna exalumna teva, la Hazel, ara li faig classes jo. Xavier: [9:08] Que bo. Andreu: [9:10] Salutacions, Hazel, des d'aquí, si ens escoltes. Xavier: [9:12] Salutacions, Hazel. Andreu: [9:14] Clar, tu vas anar allà a ensenyar llengua catalana, cultura catalana, literatura, però segur que tu també vas fer com molts aprenentatges, no? Què et va ensenyar, a tu, aquesta experiència de fer de professor a Bristol? Xavier: [9:26] Em va ensenyar a ensenyar. Jo realment vaig aprendre a ensenyar a Bristol, no?, i també vaig aprendre això, a estar sol en un país nou i haver de convertir un lloc desconegut en casa, no?, haver de fer arrels en un lloc que, quan hi arribes, no té cap significat per tu, no?, perquè no t'ho coneixes. I a més, com et deia, no?, en aquesta situació tan complicada de la pandèmia, vull dir que el procés al principi va ser lent, però després, quan ja hi has fet arrels i tens gent molt, molt… bé, tens gent preciosa, no?, al teu voltant que t'acompanya, doncs, tot t'ho fa més fàcil. Per tant, jo et diria que he après sobretot això, aquestes dues coses, que són importants i després, quan he tornat, m'han servit per continuar, no? Andreu: [10:17] Això que has dit de fer arrels, clar, és un tema molt important per a molts dels oients, perquè molts són persones que han vingut d'arreu, d'altres països i s'han establert a Catalunya, Andorra o altres llocs, no?, de parla catalana. Llavors, a tu, com a persona que ha viscut a l'estranger durant un temps, què et va ajudar a fer arrels? Xavier: [10:36] Jo diria que estar obert a tot el que hagués de venir, no?, perquè al final, quan estàs en un país nou, amb una llengua diferent, amb una cultura diferent, amb uns codis socials diferents, crec que és molt important, doncs, anar-hi amb la ment oberta i intentar viure totes les experiències que puguis, veure tot el que puguis, conèixer tota la gent que puguis, no?, perquè una cosa et va portant a l'altra, no? Jo recordo, a Bristol, per exemple, la meva companya de pis era italiana, és una gran música, no?, cantant, cantautora, va fer un concert en un bar, la vaig anar a veure, i allà hi havia un noi de públic, vam començar a parlar i ara és un dels meus millors amics de Bristol, no?, i arran d'ell també vaig conèixer altres persones, no?, vull dir que és una mica l'efecte cadena, si estàs obert, això et porta a nova gent, et porta a nous llocs, et porta a aprendre un munt, no?, perquè al final coneixent gent també aprens un munt de coses. Aquesta seria una mica la cosa que a mi em va ajudar, i també, probablement, acceptar que hi ha moments de solitud, sobretot al principi, no?, és a dir, quan vas a un altre país, inevitablement hi ha aquests moments de solitud. I està bé que sigui així, també, perquè és un moment per estar amb tu mateix, per fer-te preguntes, per construir des de zero, tu sol, i a partir d'aquí ja arriba, la gent, no?, si vas amb aquesta mentalitat oberta. Andreu: [12:11] Hem parlat de literatura, d'escriptura, hem parlat d'ensenyament de llengües, però una altra, diguéssim, aplicació, no?, de la filologia, de la lingüística, és treballar amb les paraules mateixes i tu vas iniciar, o vas ser una de les persones que van iniciar aquest projecte de "Com ho diria". Parla'ns una mica d'això, de què és, com sorgeix... Xavier: [12:34] Sí, això és un treball d'universitat, en realitat. Jo feia segon de Filologia Catalana, si no m'equivoco, i era una assignatura que era Lingüística Aplicada Catalana. El treball de final d'assignatura era "Creeu un recurs públic que sigui útil per als parlants de català". Llavors, amb dos companys, el Gerard Viladomat i la Clara Soler, vam pensar que una cosa que faltava en català era un diccionari on s'hi recollissin totes les paraules de l'argot juvenil, totes les expressions que fan servir els joves en un context col·loquial, informal, entre iguals… I vam decidir que fos en línia, evidentment, perquè s'ha d'actualitzar constantment. L'argot juvenil ja sabem que és efímer, no?, les paraules entren i surten, es comencen a utilitzar de forma massiva i es deixen d'utilitzar de sobte, d'altres tenen més durabilitat, no saps mai quin recorregut farà cada paraula d'argot, no? Per això vam crear aquesta pàgina web, i és una mena de corpus, eh?, vull dir que funciona com a cercador bidireccional, tu pots buscar una paraula d'argot i et donarà sinònims o definició generacionalment menys marcat, i al revés, no?, donar-li una paraula en català estàndard i que et digui com ho diria un jove. Hi ha un apartat de blog, on fem entrevistes a professionals de la llengua sobre el tema... Hem anat fent moltes coses i, clar, quan el vam crear, com que era un treball d'universitat, la idea era deixar-ho allà, no?, però se'ns va fer tan gran en poc temps, que el professor, el Xavier Vila, que actualment és conseller de Política Lingüística, ens va dir: "Home, això no ho deixeu perdre, no? Continueu alimentant-ho". I així ho hem fet, i avui en dia encara continua obert. Alguns membres de l'equip s'han rellevat, eh?, la Clara ja no hi és, però ara han entrat la Judit i la Gal·la, i continuem amb el projecte, i tant. Andreu: [14:21] Per tant, si entreu a com… és comhodiria.cat? Xavier: [14:24] Ub.edu/comhodiria, si està allotjat a la Universitat de Barcelona. Andreu: [14:29] Per tant, és com un… això, com un corpus, com un diccionari, podríem dir, de paraules de l'argot juvenil, de les paraules que utilitzen els joves avui dia en català. Ens podries posar un exemple d'alguna paraula curiosa que hi ha aquí, en aquest portal de comhodiria.cat? Xavier: [14:45] Sí, hi ha molts casos curiosos, eh?, realment, perquè, com et deia abans, cada paraula fa el seu recorregut. A mi m'agraden molt aquells casos en què una paraula d'una altra llengua entra al català i s'adapta seguint el procés d'adaptació de neologismes en català, no? I un exemple molt bonic d'això és el clàssic "estalquejar", no? Andreu: [15:03] Ah, sí. Xavier: [15:04] Això ve de l'anglès "stalk", que vol dir 'assetjar', en certa manera, no?, però que també en anglès va acabar agafant el significat de 'espiar algú a les xarxes socials sense deixar rastre'. I això ha entrat al català amb el sufix aquest de la primera conjugació, "-ejar", i a més a més amb aquesta vocal de suport a davant, perquè el grup "st" no és natural en català, llavors, hi posem una vocal i és més fàcil de pronunciar, no? Aquest és un exemple molt clàssic, que encara s'utilitza, però últimament n'hem entrat algunes d'interessants. Per exemple, n'hem entrat un parell que malauradament designen realitats socials que no són gaire agradables i que quan entres la paraula penses: "Tant de bo no l'haguéssim d'entrar", i que ara estan molt en boga per la sèrie aquesta de Netflix, "Adolescence", que és una sèrie que jo recomano molt, a mi em va agradar moltíssim, no?, que són paraules com "incel" o "manosfera", que el Termcat diu que n'hem de dir "masclosfera", però bé, comencen a fer-se servir molt ara també, perquè és això, designen aquesta realitat que malauradament existeix i que també ve de l'anglès, no?, "manosphere" i el celibat involuntari, no?, l'"incel". Andreu: [16:17] També, amb les paraules que agafem de l'anglès, també és bonic veure com les adaptem, no? Gràficament, els hi posem accents, no? Com l'"spoiler" passa a "espòiler", amb accent obert, no? I li posem el verb "fer" perquè els catalans fem coses, no? Fem petons, fem abraçades, doncs fem espòilers. Xavier: [16:36] I el "ràndom", amb accent, no? Andreu: [16:36] "Ràndom" amb accent, exacte. Molt bé. I a partir d'aquí, després, va venir la versió en llibre, no?, el "Petem-ho". Xavier: [16:45] Sí, això va ser ja uns anys després, quan la web ja feia temps que estava creada. Des de Penguin Random House ens van proposar, doncs, de fer un llibre sobre l'argot juvenil. I clar, de seguida també vam tenir clar que no podíem fer un diccionari, perquè fer un diccionari de l'argot juvenil, ja ho he dit abans, no té cap mena de sentit, però vam fer un llibre divulgatiu, no?, sobre l'argot juvenil i posant sobre la taula alguns temes més o menys polèmics o desmuntant també alguns prejudicis sobre l'argot juvenil, el tema de "l'argot juvenil perjudica el català". A veure, cap registre perjudica la llengua "per se". La llengua ha de tenir tots els registres i tots els recursos, no?, per poder-se desenvolupar en qualsevol context comunicatiu. Llavors, desmuntem uns quants mites, però el que fem sobretot és, a cada capítol, analitzar una mica la relació entre l'argot juvenil i algun àmbit, com per exemple els mitjans de comunicació, les xarxes socials, no?, la literatura, si s'ha inclòs o no s'ha inclòs, quan un escriptor crea un personatge jove, fins a quin punt s'atreveix a fer servir argot o li fa por que quedi desfasat de seguida… L'acadèmia, si s'ha estudiat, si no s'ha estudiat, com ho tracta la normativa, no?, fins a quin punt també hi ha un cert retard a la incorporació dels termes, no?, o si té sentit que el diccionari normatiu inclogui termes d'argot juvenil… Hi ha tot de temes que traiem d'una manera molt desenfadada, molt desinhibida, vull dir, és un llibre de… amb to de broma, però que, en certa manera, doncs, la voluntat és que el lector aprengui com funciona l'argot juvenil, què és, i al final sí que hi ha un glossari de les paraules més utilitzades en el moment de publicar el llibre, eh?, que potser un any després, no?, ja deu fer un any que el vam publicar, ja n'hi ha algunes que estan obsoletes, no?, però n'érem plenament conscients quan el vam publicar. Andreu: [18:38] O paraules noves, no?, perquè, clar, al final... Xavier: [18:41] I paraules noves, exacte. Andreu: [18:42] Van sorgint... Xavier: [18:43] Exacte. Sí, és un no parar. Andreu: [18:45] "Petem-ho", que també està titulat amb una expressió, no?, pròpia de l'argot juvenil, que és "petar-ho", el verb "petar-ho", amb aquest pronom. Què significa "petar-ho"? Xavier: [18:55] "Petar-ho", com les Oques Grasses, no? 'Tenir èxit'. I de fet, és curiós perquè en castellà també ho diuen, no? "Esto lo peta". I hi ha lingüistes que sostenen, i crec que és bastant plausible, que vingui del català, eh?, que aquest ús del "petar" vingui del català, és a dir, que per una vegada, no?, perquè sempre sembla que ho importem tots nosaltres, doncs aquesta vegada sembla que ho han... Andreu: [19:19] La influència és unidireccional. Xavier: [19:21] Exacte, i aquesta vegada sembla que no. I hi ha fonaments, eh?, per defensar aquesta teoria, i és interessant veure també com cap a l'altra banda, cap a l'altra direcció, també hi ha manlleus, evidentment. Andreu: [19:33] Molt bé, doncs si us ha interessat aquest llibre, us el deixarem, deixarem la referència a la descripció de l'episodi. I al bonus parlarem una mica de l'actualitat literària a Catalunya i et demanaré, Xavier, algunes recomanacions, ja que Sant Jordi és aquí mateix, tenim Sant Jordi a tocar. Llavors, hem parlat del teu llibre al Club de Lectura, també aquí al pòdcast, però ens agradaria que tu també, com a lector, ens recomanis altres autors catalans o autors que escriuen en català. Llavors, això ho farem al bonus i abans de parlar d'aquest tema, m'agradaria acabar amb una secció que fem sempre a les entrevistes, que és "L'expressió de la setmana". Com a tots els convidats, doncs et preguntarem per una expressió que a tu t'agradi, una expressió catalana que et sembli curiosa, que potser que utilitzis en el teu dia a dia… Tens alguna expressió que puguis compartir? Xavier: [20:33] M'agrada molt "fer mans i mànigues", per exemple. Andreu: [20:36] Mira, aquesta no ha sortit encara. Xavier: [20:38] No? Soc el primer que l'ha dit? [Sí.] Sí, m'agrada. M'agrada com a expressió, m'agrada el que significa, però hi ha moltíssimes expressions que m'agraden molt, i també paraules concretes, no?, per com sonen. Hi ha una paraula que m'agrada molt, que és "galipàndria", i el que significa és totalment negatiu i desagradable, no?, però com sona m'agrada molt, per exemple, vull dir que... O "obelisc", no?, paraules així que dius: "Per què?", no?, però és ben bé la sonoritat, quan et quedes només amb la sonoritat de la paraula. Andreu: [21:08] Tornem a l'expressió "fer mans i mànigues", perquè l'hem dit però no l'hem explicat. Què vol dir, això? Xavier: [21:13] "Fer mans i mànigues" és quan fas tot el que pots per aconseguir alguna cosa, no? Per exemple, si vols aconseguir entrades per un concert molt multitudinari, no?, d'aquests en què les entrades duren dos segons a la venda, no?, doncs després fas mans i mànigues per aconseguir-ne una, ni que sigui de revenda o… Té una mica aquest significat. Andreu: [21:37] Exacte, d'esforçar-se, no?, "fer mans i mànigues", també perquè un projecte tiri endavant, per exemple. Xavier: [21:43] Exacte. Andreu: [21:44] "Fem mans i mànigues". I una galipàndria, crec que aquesta paraula la vam comentar en el pòdcast i… sí, és, al final, com una grip forta, no? Un virus, un refredat fort. Xavier: [21:55] Exacte. "Agafar una galipàndria", no? Allò de dir: "Estic agafant una galipàndria!" o "Tinc… Porto una galipàndria!" Sí. Andreu: [22:01] Molt bé, fantàstic! Doncs amb això acabem l'episodi. Moltes gràcies altre cop, Xavier, per participar en el Club de Lectura i també aquí al pòdcast. Ha sigut una experiència molt xula, crec. Xavier: [22:13] Gràcies a vosaltres, m'ho he passat molt bé! Andreu: [22:15] Perfecte, doncs a reveure i moltes gràcies a tots els oients. Que vagi molt bé! Adeu adeu! Xavier: [22:20] Adeu!
