0:00.0	Welcome to Spirits episode six. This is a very exciting myth for us. I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce the name.
0:06.0	Honestly, people, I think of myself as a citizen of the world, but the truth is I've only really studied European and romantic languages.
0:14.2	So I apologize to all need of Korean speakers, as we also apologize to all Filipinos for our murdering of Yeswong.
0:22.6	Oh, S-W-I.
0:23.5	But this is the Kavan Zagagi.
0:25.9	Kamamsagagi.
0:27.0	Cool.
0:27.7	We did it correctly.
0:29.4	You're going to hate our pronunciation throughout.
0:31.4	You'll notice how I don't say the name of the main character in this plot for like the last half of it because I can't remember how to
0:38.0	pronounce it correctly. Yeah, and major props to Steve Johnson, um, friend of the show who helped us
0:43.4	out with some last minute on the spot translation. And what do we drink today, Amanda? We're drinking
0:48.2	soju, which is a national beverage of Korea in many ways. Again, Steve, friend of the show, uh,
0:53.0	brought it to a VidCon and just
0:55.6	had a wonderful time. It's like a, it is slightly less potent than liquor, but way more potent than
1:02.0	beer and wine. So it's a very good, uh, beverage in that you can drink a bunch of it, but also not
1:07.9	get that drunk. So we had a bunch of soju. So we're only like 70% drunk.
1:14.4	Because it puts like 90% drunk. I'd rate this drunk as like a 5 out of 10. All right. I go 6,
1:19.4	but that's just me. It varies. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much to those
1:24.2	who have supported us on Patreon and tweeted us after the show. We really
1:27.9	enjoy hearing from you and hearing your commentary and your anecdotes. If you have questions or you
1:32.8	have comments or you have like stories for us that you want us to see, tweet us at Spears
