My name is Jack and I'm one of the hosts of the podcast and today I am without social, but I have may from Malaysia filling in for social may. How are you today?00:00:46MayDoing very well, Jack. How about you?00:00:48JackI'm doing pretty well actually. Thanks for asking and what I'm going to do today is I'm going to read a would you rather question and this is a would you rather question that May sent to me and me you already know the question, but I'm going to ask it anyway, so our listeners can hear it and.00:01:04MayAlright, sure.00:01:04JackThey can.00:01:04JackAnswer. So the question is.00:01:06JackWould you rather have a partner?00:01:09JackWho is an amazing cook but terrible at cleaning, or a partner who is a neat freak but can't cook? And what is a neat freak? Maybe for our listeners out there you could explain what a neat freak is.00:01:25MayTo me, I would say a person who.00:01:31MayExpert on like doing cleaning job at home.00:01:35JackRight. Everything's got to be perfect, right? They're just they never stop cleaning. They're just like everything's got to be perfect in the right place. And they're. Yeah, a neat freak. Yeah. So me, would you rather?00:01:50JackHave a partner who is a great cook, an amazing cook, but never cleans up, or a partner who is a neat freak but never cooks.00:02:04MayI would prefer a a partner who can cook very well because.00:02:12MayI in first class I don't know how to cook.00:02:16MaySo I I definitely I need someone to cook for me.00:02:21MayAnd I mean, I I love eating.00:02:24MayLike solid food like.00:02:26MayMaybe probably rice with a few dishes every day.00:02:31MayAnd then I mean all proper meal, I I prefer proper meal to be every day. So and in regards to the training part, I can do the.00:02:42MayCleaning job I.00:02:43MayI have no problem of doing that.00:02:45MaySo in this.00:02:46MayCase my partner will cook and I will clean everything.00:02:50JackWow, OK, interesting.00:02:51MaySo yeah, so.00:02:53JackSo you're going to do the dishes.00:02:55JackYou're going to clean the.00:02:55JackPots and pans you don't mind?00:02:58MayYeah, I'm not gonna. I can clean the pan kitchen and maybe. And you usually have to cooking. We need to, like, clean the surface or floor a little bit. So.00:03:09MayI and I'm I'm fine with being on that as long as I get my food ready.00:03:17JackIf you get your food, you're like I'll. I'll do anything. I'll clean. Yeah, no problem.00:03:23MayBecause yeah, because we can't be eating outside anyway. So I prefer someone to cook for me. I think that's.00:03:29MayOnly need to be like.00:03:32MayMany dishes in a day at least.00:03:35MayThere's something purple like, as I mentioned earlier, rice. I wanted two dishes.00:03:42MayThat is enough.00:03:42JackSome vegetables and some meat, right? Something like that, yeah.00:03:45MayAlright, meat and vegetable, that's enough.00:03:48JackOK. OK. Well, that's pretty simple. That was simple request, but I'm going to go with. I'm going to go the other direction because I don't really. I'll eat anything. I don't care. So I'll just open the refrigerator and I'll just take a spoon and with some peanut butter, I'm happy. Like, that's fine for me.00:03:53MayWhat do you prefer?00:04:00MayOK.00:04:07JackBut I hate cleaning. I hate it.00:04:11JackSo much so.00:04:12JackSo if some if I'm, if my partner is a neat freak and just doesn't mind always cleaning and just organizing and cleaning everything, then I'll even this is not part of the question, but I would even cook.00:04:26JackLike I'll cook.00:04:28JackIf the other person cleans, I'll do that because I really hate cleaning. I just don't like it at all. I I hate it.00:04:36MaySo you will cook and then lift all the cooking sauce in the kitchen.00:04:40JackI will not.00:04:41JackI will not touch a dish.00:04:43JackOr a pan no.00:04:45MayYour wife, the case. You can turn it the other way around, where you will do all the cooking job and your wife will have to clean everything.00:04:55JackRight. And I don't even mind because like, if I can just cook something and then I can just walk away and go sit on the sofa and watch television and it's OK and my partner is not angry.00:05:09JackThen I'm really going to be happy with that situation, so I will happily.00:05:14JackCook. I'll, I'll I'll. I'll download recipes off the Internet. I'll. I'll cook gourmet meals. You know salmon. I'll do everything. I don't care. I'll learn how to make sushi. I'll do whatever. Just don't make me clean. Any pots and pans? That's all I ask. That's my only request.00:05:34MaySo expect to see or try new dishes every day.00:05:38JackNew dishes every day. Different countries, cuisines. I'll, I'll try everything. So, Moroccan couscous. I'll I'll cook some nasty fat. Nasty. Yeah, exactly. No problem. Thai dishes. Japanese. Yeah, I'll. I'll go all around the globe. Yeah, no problem.00:05:59MayGreat. Nice to know, Jack.00:06:01JackYeah. Yeah. So, but it's not, it's not the reality of my life. So I I I have to do some cleaning in my real life and I don't do a lot of cooking.00:06:11JackMaybe, maybe, maybe the other way to do it would be I can just work really hard to save money and then I can just order food every night from a, you know, delivery service and just pay for that. And then I don't have to clean. That would be OK too. That might be the perfect solution.00:06:29JackI don't know.00:06:30MaySo yeah, in that case you need a cook and a cleaner so you don't have to do anything.00:06:34JackIn the cleaner, yeah.00:06:35JackSo I don't have to do anything.00:06:38JackAll right.
