In this episode, we tackle the question of why men prioritise their time to exercise while women tend to take on the responsibilities for housework. When women can apparently 'do-it-all' in this generation, why aren't men pulling their weight?

Have you considered adopting? Not a dog or a cat, but a human child! In this episode, we talk about the difficulties of the adoption process, and we are only speaking about the process of adopting a child from Taiwan...there might be more/different barriers regarding other countries. This is part one of our discussion about adoption, mainly the logistics and administrative/regulations about adoption. We extended our conversations to 'what if those regulations apply to the people who conceive naturally?'.

SPOILER ALERT: In this episode, we shared our 'experience' of watching the amazing and extraordinary movie "Everything Everywhere All At Once" starring Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. The epic cinematic experience got us talking about the visual effects, the plot, the sentiments in parent/child relationships and the poignancy of true love.

On other notes, Helen spoke about her disappointment of work in STC and Jess's fantastic experience with Asian American writers.
