Welcome to the A to Z EnglishPodcast.
My name is Jack and I'm here with myco-host,Social.
And today we have a topic talk and rightnow,social, something that's trending on TikTok and on the internet rightnow, is comes from the Barbiemovie.
And the question that people are asking themselvesis, what kind of Barbie areyou?
Like, could you describe yourBarbie?
And what kind of Ken areyou?
So, could you describe yourKen?
So maybe you could describe your Barbie and I'll describe myKen.
Okay, I'mlike, I don'tknow.
Ithink,okay,ideally, what I would like to be is fashionBarbie.
Youknow, I have all these clothes and I loveclothes, but I don't really dress up that muchanymore, like how I usedto, but I used to loveclothes.
So I think I would be like fashionBarbie, youknow?
But now I'm kind of morelike, likea, likea, med Barbie orsomething.
I don'tknow,like, like a beigeBarbie.
Like a kind of disillusioned with life ever soslightly.
Trying to figure itout,Barbie.
Trying to figure itout,Barbie.
Yeah.But, youknow, it's done better thisyear.
I got to say the end of tail end of 27 was a great time where I started a bunch ofprojects, including our Englishcorner.
So, withyou. So I'm really excited aboutthat.
Andyeah, so maybe right now I would actually belike,like, chronic Barbie that had all thejobs,like,Veterinarian,Dr.
Fashionista,like, youknow, the one that's doingeverything.
Yeah. I'm doing a lot like the Englishcorner, the coffee business sellingclothes.
Well, what kind ofclothes?
Like, talk about the clothes yousell.
Because I think that that's that would belike, I can picture your Barbie's clothes because ofthe, youknow, you sell clotheson, I see you post like dresses likeyou're, you're big intolike,thrifting,right?
Like,yes,yes.Yeah.Yeah.
So lots of like prints orsomething.
Is that what they are kind of kind of prints withlike, canbe.
I think they'rejust, it just reallydepends.
It's more so for me rightnow.
I'm selling like Americanclothes.
So a Mexico American clothes is popular because it's higherquality.
Traditional American garments are highquality, like cotton andstuff.
Butlike,like, regular everyday wear clothes is pretty lowquality.
It's like worse than Chee-en quality orwhatever.
Like, it's verybad.So, being that it's so bad American clothes is quite popularhere.
So I just kind of pick whatever I think looksnice.
And I think other people will like and bring that and sell ithere.
So it could belike, dresses with friends or dresses for graduation orlike, youknow, sweaters anddifferent, just different articles of clothing that I think that willsell.
And it's been going prettywell.
I think the only issue is like the price point because it's in Mexicanpesos.
Soit's, it's actually cheap for theUS.
But forMexicans, a lot of people only make like 300pesos.
They're just like $15 aday.
And as youknow, most clothes islike, at least 25 bucks or 20bucks.
Oh,yeah,yeah. Even if you buy off the clearance rack orsomething, youknow, at Macy's still going to be 20 or 25bucks, youknow.
Right.Yeah. So that's kind of just the only thing that I'm strugglingwith.
And I'm kind of thinking about bringing in accessories and stuff that are like a little bit cheaper or maybe likeskincare.
I've been thinking when I go to Korea about buying like cheap clothes and skincare and selling them here aswell.
The cool thing about Korea is you can like ship like boxes of stuffback.
Soyeah, it's kind offun.
What's your what's your accessory if you they goes with your yourBarbie?
Oh, if I had an accessoryDuende.
Duende,right.Yes. Ofcourse.
Yes.Yeah. He's basically a forced accessory at this point because like I left him for a day and a half to go to a couple of otherthings, which is areally, really beautiful village here in Laaka for my birthdaytrip.
And I came back and he's all sick andeverything.
I waslike, what's wrong withhim?
So I took him to the vet today and he'slike,oh, he was stressed because you left him and then like he like his stomach probably hurt because he ate like some differentfood.
We switched him to a differentdiet.
And like all that together made him have like a problem like he gotG.
R.D.O. which islike, youknow, travelers diarrhea type3.
Yeah.Yeah. And so it was really it was really scary because he seemed reallysick, but he's doing finenow.
But it's like a forcedaccessory.
I got to take him everywhere with me or else he getssick.
Soyeah, I'm not sure how how well this Barbie is going to sell the the Barbie with the Dwende accessory withdiarrhea, butno, nodiarrhea.
Just plainone. It is healthyDwende.
HealthyDwende.Okay.Yeah.
But it's just like a purse dog that you have to takeeverywhere.
He's looking at you rightnow.
I'm talking about you need abag.
You need abag. Maybe a something maybe maybe a bag that's kind of a local like a locallymade, youknow, Wahakian bag that you could put Dwendein.
That'd be a pretty coolBarbie.
Yeah.Yeah. I think that would becool.
He's wearing his little sweater right nowtoo, who'scold.
So that'd be like a bluehoodie.
Yeah.Well, what kind of Ken areyou?
Um,yeah. So I'm definitely like teacherKen.
My Ken is has a shavedhead.
So that's the I'm representing the bald outthere.
So baldKen, but my accessory would be a truckerhat, a truckercap.
So you can cover Ken's bald head with a with a nice truckercap.
And I'm trying to thinklike, what would Ken's what's what's myuniform?
I would say my uniform is pairjeans, some tennisshoes, at-shirt, and then maybe like a because I'm ateacher, I'll throw like a like a suit jacket over the top ofthat.
So this is definitely the strangest Kenever.
Butyeah, I think that would be my that would be my accessory in myoutfit.
And maybe maybe my schoolbag, youknow, that would bemy, youknow, putting students papers and things like that inside that would be my that would be my otheraccessory.
So the trucker hat and and a schoolbag.
Yeah.Yeah, I don'tknow.
Yeah. Teacherteacher.
Yeah. I oftensee, I often see Gen Z represented as wearing like beanies aswell, which you alsodo.
Oh, that'sright.Yeah.
That's when I try to becool.
But it's it's like dressing one generation below my actual station inlife.
So I don't think so because every time I see Gen X like represented inskits, they're always wearing like they dress exactly likeyou.
It's so crazy when I see this guy like post skits because he's not GenX.
I think he's like a millennial maybe he'sno, I think he must be like amillennial.
And he he posts like skits like showing like boomers at work Gen X that works millennial and Gen Z atwork, youknow.
And I definitely relate hard to like a mix between the Gen Z and millennial because you know I'm acusper.
But when he does the GenX, it looks it's like looks just like youChad.
It looks so much like I gotta send you because I think you would get a kick out ofit.
It's so similar toyou. And then like the the Gen Z is like like forexample, they have like the meeting and the Gen Z is stillsleeping.
Ohyeah. That isme. That is kind of likeme.
So I think I'm a cusper aswell.
Like I'm kind of right between millennial and and Gen X because I'm like either I'm like a really young Gen X or a really old GenZ.
millennial.Yeah.Sorry.
Really oldmillennial.
Yeah.Yeah. So I can kind of I can I can go I can go either way depending on my mood for the for theday, Iguess.
Yeah. I'm gonna send you one of those skits so you can take a look atit.
