Chinese Podcast EP123: Which Dashu Under...

李璨理查BEN
About this episode

Welcome, everyone! In this episode, we’re diving into a question we all ponder: do the Dashu really understand women? (哪个大叔更懂女人) Today, we'll share some of our personal stories and experiences to see if we truly 'get' the female perspective. We’ll also explore the current Chinese buzzword 'dad vibe' (爹味) — that tendency some people have to give lectures and overhype their own life experiences. Stick around and see if we’re guilty of a little ‘dad vibe’ ourselves, and we hope you enjoy today’s show!
