This week, Daniel and Jun reflect on the small routines and habits that shape daily life—and how those ordinary moments reveal cultural contrasts between Korea and America. From elevator etiquette to bike-riding, math education to parenting styles, they explore how values like speed, structure, and success show up in the simplest of places. They also touch on entrepreneurship in Korea, screen time for kids, and the cultural weight of words like “macho(맞죠)” and “oriental.”

If you’re interested in how everyday details—like drawing maps, riding bikes, or doing math homework—can reveal deeper societal values, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more.
