We are ordering samgyeopsal tonight, and we have some very special guests; we are here with ASAPScience, a.k.a
[Mi] Mitch [G] and Greg!
We're gonna try to get them a little bit tipsy with some Soju, and then ask them questions about Korea including true-false, and like stats and stuff.
You know, we want to be a little bit like scientific.
(laughs)
We'll see how long they can hang in there.
When you are drinking with your elders--
When you drink a shot, you are supposed to
A: Look them directly in the eyes, or
B: Turn your face away.
Um, turn your face away.
(worried) They look them directly in the eye.
Look them directly in the eyes?
Yeah...
Turn you face away--you are correct.
(mixed emotions)
It's the wrong person (inaudible)
(laughs)
Okay.
[G] Bye Mitch! [S] There we go.
The way you should have done it--'cause like where your elder--you should turn to the side like this.
But then the problem is, if you have someone infront of you that's older, you try to turn away.
Well someone in your left is older,
Even older.
And then on the right of you they're (also) older.
What you do--
[S] You should fully turn around and try not to look any in the eye. [M] And people will cover up their shot.
And people do that?
[S] Yeah. [M] Yeah.
You see a lot of business meetings; people are drinking like that.
Like just drinking away from everyone
Yeah.
That's like literally like hiding their faces and drink.
[Mi] --and you'd get a little tornado inside! [S] Woah.
And that's important to do, its supposedly--its supposed to
mix off the alcohol from the bottom to the top.
[G] Makes sense! [Mi] Wow.
True or false! Did I just made that up?
Oh, that's the question? (laughs)
Oh my God. Uh, true!
Um,
Actually, I think it's false.
Ding ding ding, you are supposed to mix the alcohol from the bottom to the top.
You are correct.
(Greg cheers)
We actually don't know if that is a true fact, that's just what everyone says.
(Greg laughs)
Go Mitch!
He loves Soju.
(Greg laughs again)
True or false: South Korea consumes more shots of alcohol per week than any other country in the world.
(clock ticks)
Okay, so shots of alcohol so that's important because I feel like if it's like beer it'll be like Germany. I'm gonna say "false" in your trick question.
Uh, what?
Think about all the countries in the world and who might be drinking alcohol per week.
I think that Korea's drink some of the most in the world but I just--'cause it said "shots" I'm not sure like, I'm thinking like Russians drink a lot of vodka.
That is--I was thinking.
Because we watched--we watched a Russian movie on the plane.
Okay, but... but is shots the keyword?
I'm not--I'm not giving anything away.
I think "true."
You're saying "false?"
Yeah.
And you're saying "true."
The answer is "true."
What?!
Yes.
They drink more than Russians?
They drink more than Russians.
Guess who comes in second place.
[G] Russia. [S] Russia. [M] Russia.
Oh yeah.
This country drinks more than Russians?!
They take uh--'cause I got a follow up question for you right afterwards.
(Martina laughs)
(Mitch laughs)
Three to go!
Woah, tastes like rubbing alcohol.
Oh, nicely done.
You grab some kimchi,
put in on top of your seaweed like this,
and your rice,
[S] and you wrap the kimchi around the rice. [M] It's tricky to learn how to wrap
It's rice-stuffed kimchi.
Okay. Mmm, it's good though.
Because we talked about Russia,
Alright.
South Korea consumes more than double the amounts of alcohol than Russia consumes per week.
That--
Shots of alcohol.
[G] can't be true. [Mi] Can't be true.
Double. True or false?
Everyone here is so thin and attractive.
[G] How are they even going to-- [Mi] And like functioning...
Shots of alcohol! But there's less alcohol in soju.
'Cause for every shot of soju is technically one shot of vodka.
Sorry, I mean like--sorry, for every two shots--
I literally just like, I thought it was--
I'm gonna say true because like this; technically you need two of these to become like one shot of vodka.
Right.
So statistically, if they're just like Russians, they'll be doing double.
More than double?
Right.
You say true?
I'd say they drink more than double the Russians. I don't know why 'cause it just blew my mind that they drink more than Russians. But yes, more than double.
I'll say "true" as well.
You say "true" as well?
Both of you got it right.
(Greg and Mitch cheer for victory)
South Korea consumes 13.7 shots per week.
Russia consumes 6.3
Oh my God.
And is that because this is more shots you could--
South Korea consumes more alcohol than Russia, Japan, and United States combined.
Oh my God.
So because both of you got it right, that means we have to drink.
Yeah.
That's good, that's good. That's fair.
[S] That's a good one. There you go. [M] I'll pass it over to you guys.
So this is our punishment shot
[S] for not doing a difficult enough question. [M] We should have done a more difficult--we took a pity on you.
I think you should double that--
No. (laughs)
We both got it right. (laughs)
Thank you, Eatyourkimchi.
No problem.
Canadian hospitality.
(laughs)
True or false: It is a popular tradition among South Korean boys to stick their fingers up each other's butts.
I think that Korean boys are very touchy with it.
Yeah.
Whether or not someone goes to the extent of sticking fingers up each other's butt.
Are we talking like in the butt or we talking like grazing?
[M] We're not getting anymore specific. [S] Not anymore.
It's so funny that we're giving thought to this like I'm literally like "hmm..." like, like "false."
You say "false?"
I think they're touchy but not up the butt, c'mon.
I think "false" as well.
False?
False, false, and false?
False.
Everybody has to drink.
[Mi] No... [G] What, in the butthole?!
It's called dongchim.
Dongchim?
And what you do is when someone's bent over, you have your little gun like this and you run up to there and you ram it in their butts.
(laughs)
So it's like sacking someone up?
Yes, it's something like back tag.
Except in this case you know, "pook!"
Here we go!
Dongchim!
So guys, how you feeling after that?
Good.
I feel like a little tipsy, maybe a little bit.
But that was so good like
Delicious.
little wrap of lettuce with the meat and the rice and everything
I'm so sad that maybe we won't be able to feel that taste again back in Canada; it was so good.
So that's it for our minorly educational video.
If you would like to see a more edifying video, we happen to film another one in their channel.
Before this evening.
It's calculated.
Yeah.
But we got to show you a little bit of drinking and cool facts as well.
But there you got more interesting stuff so check them out.
Click somewhere here.
