| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, today on this episode of the pod, we're talking to Sun Yi. You may know him as a person |
| 0:04.5 | where when you watch this content, you come to this conclusion. I never thought of this way. |
| 0:09.4 | Now, when you watch this episode, you're going to know where that comes from and why he's known for |
| 0:12.9 | that. Hey, I'm Sun Yi, and you're listening to the future. |
| 0:27.8 | In case you guys can't tell, we're in a totally different location, a beautiful home here in Orange County. |
| 0:32.2 | We could not ask for a better set. So thanks to the entire team for making this happen. |
| 0:36.0 | The man who's sitting in front of me is named Sonyi, and you probably have seen some of his posts on social. |
| 0:57.1 | Chances are you love him or you were triggered by him, or maybe you're both. Son and I met in person recently at South by Southwest in Austin. He's a globetrotter. He's been zipping around all over the world at Atomicon, and then he was just at Khan, and then he came back here for VidCon. So he may be running on fumes, so we'll get the most out of the situation, but some thanks for being a part of the podcast. Thank you so much, Chris. Yeah, so here's the first thing. I just want to throw it off, just to break the ice a little bit. I know this is just a distinct difference between what I perceive your online personality as and the person that I met in real life. And I'll describe this and tell me if it's a fair characterization. On the internet, you give a lot of hot takes, go on rant, and you say, stop doing this. And you use semi-violent language, I think on purpose. And I can tell you know how to write because you use words very effectively to get people to have a feeling or sharpen their thing. And I think for a while now you've been using the whole, I never thought of it like that, right? |
| 1:31.3 | So there's a couple things there. |
| 1:33.3 | But when I meet you in person, you're like the sweetest, softest, like, hey, how's it going? |
| 1:38.3 | Is everything cool? |
| 1:39.3 | No rants and very humble and kind and generous. |
| 1:42.3 | And first, is that an accurate portrayal to the two sons? |
| 1:48.0 | I mean, I don't know if it's two different sons, but I, most of the videos that I post are from either Zoom calls. |
| 1:55.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:56.0 | Where I'm teaching or like I'm on a podcast or something like that. |
| 1:59.0 | Yeah. |
| 2:00.0 | And I think when I'm talking to somebody, sometimes I can get a little heated or like I could on a podcast or something like that. Yeah. And I think when I'm talking to somebody, |
| 2:01.6 | sometimes I can get a little heated or like I could get a little passionate, |
