This Monday, COP26 begins in Glasgow. The conference will bring together leaders and negotiators from every member state of the UN with the goal to commit participants to CO2 reductions sufficient to avoid catastrophic climate change. Yet while there will be 193 countries in attendance, one has been subjected to more scrutiny than any other. China. And this week, the spectator shows the manner in which the world's largest nation state is being portrayed. You can see here Boris Johnson putting all his effort into saving the planet with Biden making a tepid effort in the same direction that's contrasted with Xi Jinping alongside Vladimir Putin, essentially holding the whole world hostage. Of course, the focus on China isn't entirely unreasonable. It is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases and its nationally determined contributions announced on Thursday have been deemed disappointing by experts including from Greenpeace Asia. However, in an excellent piece currently up on the Navarra media website, Aaron Bostani argues that China's role in climate mitigation is actually far more complex. Aaron, it's a very timely piece. Can you lay out the key points? Yeah, for sure. So China, like you said, is the world's number one emitter and that's because it's got 1.4 billion people. On a per-person basis, its CO2 output isn't that high. It's about 38th in the world. The US produces twice as much CO2 per person as does Australia, as does Canada. That produces about four times more CO2 per person. Of course, that's not a particularly big country, but it's quite interesting that three of the four big Anglophone countries produce twice as much CO2 as China. I know we're not talking about them as the bad guys. Interestingly enough, Canada and Australia, between them, don't have a single kilometer of high-speed rail, not a single kilometer. Meanwhile, China has two-thirds of all global high-speed rail capacity. So two-thirds of all high-speed rail capacity worldwide, two-thirds in China, and it's going to be doubling that its extant capacity over the next 20 years. The US has less high-speed rail than Uzbekistan, and very soon it's going to be taken over by Iran. These are big countries. China has taken really big steps to take on domestic internal flights, domestic aviation, with its high-speed rail network. Nothing similar is happening in Australia, Canada, the United States. Russia's a little bit better, but not great. So you've got, actually, on a per-person basis, quite low carbon emissions. Then you've got the fact that wealthier countries outsource carbon emissions to poorer countries. So China produces about 30% of all manufactured goods worldwide. Of course, a manufactured good has these outsourced emissions, which is to say that if iPhone is produced in China, but it's used by Michael Walker here in London, the CO2 emissions for its production go on the Chinese ledger, not the UK one. Now it's estimated that global CO2 emissions, about 25% of global CO2 emissions, operate in this way. So that actually casts the global north in a better light and countries like China in a worse light. Like I say, China by far the world's largest manufacturer. So that's a major, major factor why China's CO2 emissions are relatively high. But like I say, still only half per person with the US is 38th in the world, next to somewhere like Norway. So you've got, like I say, actually not that bad on a per-person basis. You've got the fact that it's internalizing manufactured products, CO2 emissions, which are being consumed elsewhere. And then you've got other things like reforestation. In the early 1990s, 12% of China was covered by forest. Today, it's around 23%. It's looking to get that to 30% by 2050. You've got, like I said earlier, high speed rail. You've got urban transit systems being built in dozens of cities in China. Meanwhile, in the US, they haven't laid a single kilometer of underground transit for 30 years in the mainland US. You've got just issue after issue after issue, which I think you're actually on any sort of fair basis. China would be judged as a leader when it comes to climate change. Then finally, if you look at its actual record on renewable energy, I think this is the icing on the cake. China produces, has a greater solar energy capacity. So it doesn't necessarily produce more solar because it's dependent upon the sun shining, but it has more solar capacity than the US and Europe combined. It's world number one in regards to wind capacity. It's increased nuclear capacity by 500% since 2010. It's world number one on hydroelectric capacity. And it's also got huge plans again for the next 10 years. And again, all that really on wind, on solar, on nuclear, all of that is since the 2010s. It didn't lay a single kilometer of high speed rail until 2007, Michael. And when you look what the Europeans have been doing since 2007, you think of the European debt crisis, et cetera, how little infrastructure has been built, how little renewable capacity has really been built. Compare that to what the Chinese are doing. We're nowhere, Michael, whether it's the Europeans, whether it's the North Americans, whether it's the Australians, the Brits, you really can't compare us to China. Now, that doesn't mean China is saving the world. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. And what's quite clear is that any economy based upon economic growth with 1.4 billion people like China, which is looking to become much wealthier in the coming decades, is going to massively impact CO2 emissions and levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is going to lead to a warmer planet. But if we're talking about a large country, which is actually making an effort when it comes to climate change, on green energy, on reforestation, on high speed rail and moving away from aviation, China is far and away ahead of the Western nations. And this is something they will not accept. And so what we'll see at COP over the next couple of weeks is sinophobia.  They're not white. They're not the West. They're burning coal. They are. They burned a huge amount of coal, but it's also 1.4 billion people. And the new coal power stations that China is going to build, and there's dozens of power stations that are going to be built with coal, dozens. But again, it's 1.4 billion people, Michael. It's three times the population of the European Union. It's only going to add 1.5% to China's extant carbon emissions. So the numbers we're talking about here are huge. Every year between now and 2025, they're looking to reforest the surface area the size of Belgium. So a bit of nuance is required. And actually, when you really get beneath the sort of fog perpetuated by Western press who are being very hostile to Beijing, I think for geopolitical reasons, then like I say, it's pretty clear where leadership is, if it's anywhere. It's not Washington. It's not Brussels. It's not London. It's Beijing. Let's look at a bit more detail about China's NDCs. So for background, how these climate negotiations work since the Paris Agreement is that there are no binding commitments that any country has to make. It's not the case where back in the days of the Kyoto Protocol, there were some ideas that people would allot a sort of set carbon budget for each country. They'd have to agree what the algorithm would be that would work that out. And then they'd all be limited by law to that. That turned out to be completely a dead end. No country would agree to it or at least no big powerful country would agree to it. Now what you get is countries coming forward and voluntarily committing to reduce their emissions. And it's all based on peer pressure, essentially. China submitted theirs on Thursday, their NDC was much awaited. And this is a summary of what they've committed to as per the FT. So it says China aims to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 to lower CO2 emissions per unit of GDP by over 65% from the 2005 level to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 25% to increase the forest stock volume by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level and to bring its total installed capacity of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030. Now in terms of analysis of that, the most common thing I've heard from climate experts or China watches is that they're disappointed about this idea that emissions will only peak by 2030. Lots of people suggesting 2025 was very much doable for the Chinese and so they could have come forward with that. A counter to that is that Xi Jinping doesn't want to commit China to anything.  So even though they've said before 2030 it could still be the case that they end up managing to peak emissions by 2025. Of course as guests like Sam Guiao who we've had on the show have argued or explained I suppose China is also a country with internal politics so there is a coal lobby in China just as there is a coal lobby in the United States. Aaron what did you think of that NDC and I suppose it's interesting this COP26 process because it seems as if Joe Biden's going to arrive and he might potentially make a fairly ambitious proposal when it comes to US emissions reductions. I mean he already has but it'll be confirmed there. But he's really going to struggle to implement his climate policy because Congress is now blocking any kind of carbon tax on the coal industry. So it could be the case that you get to COP. America commits to something really ambitious. China commits to something far less ambitious but ultimately China can follow through on theirs whereas the Americans because of their political system are completely unable to. How likely do you think that scenario is? I mean I would dispute the idea that China would be committing to anything less ambitious than the US. From what we've seen so far I mean maybe this is going to change but both are talking about net zero by 2060 and when you think that the US has a GDP per capita about six times that of China I mean that's a remarkable achievement by China. This is a country I think $10,000 per head GDP US about $60,000 far wealthier country and actually China is eliminating poverty. You can go between 1990 and 2060. They would have taken 800 million people out of poverty and they would have effectively decarbonized 80% of their energy supply would have been decarbonized. That's why they're talking about net zero not 100% decarbonization. That's not good by the way but they're both talking about net zero it's not just China. Do that in the space of 70 years is remarkable Michael and there's absolutely no comparison. You could maybe talk about post-war social democracy in Europe maybe getting a little bit close but I don't think it does actually in terms of a political economic technological ecological revolution of a country in 70 years in a lifetime that's extraordinary so I don't think the US is making bigger sort of has bigger sort of plans than China now. It's about reforestation you know it's gone from 12% of the country's surface area to 23% they wanted to get 30% US has been standing still Michael and the US is a very large country extraordinary large country and reforestation isn't the answer to everything there's actually a great criticism of reforestation indigenous land rights colonialism etc you know if you're Britain you're not going to be reforesting somewhere in Britain although we obviously should do that you know increasingly what you'll do is you'll be there'll be a market for this stuff and you'll pay for a carbon sink somewhere in the Amazon and so people that live on that land have been moved out and they'll grow a forest and that means oh we can burn more carbon over here this is stuff that we'll be talking about at COP so the offset thing in terms of reforestation while you still burn carbon fuels is why they're talking about net zero big difference is Michael China's serious about this because it's actually doing the rewilding thing it's doing the reforestation thing so I agree with you that the political system in America is a big barrier to the marketing as decisive as the Chinese but I disagree that it's in any way more ambitious on that part I just simply don't think that's true I suppose I just mean so the targets I've got in in front of me they're saying they're gonna halve emissions compared to 2005 everyone picks whenever their peak was so ours is compared to 1990 because that's when our peak was so they want to halve emissions by 2030 compared to 2005 and go to net zero no later than 2050 so it is you know the the cuts by which date are more ambitious but obviously they're starting from a much you know their historic contribution to carbon emissions is much bigger than China and on a per capita basis they're much richer if it's net zero by 2050 then that's a big difference with China which is net zero by 2060 I mean let's see what what comes out in the wash and again net zero is quite a flexible term UK is now aiming for net zero really the UK could decarbonize forget net zero we could decarbonize by 2035 Corbyn was saying 2030 I thought 2035 isn't entirely plausible so there's that point yes that would be a big a big difference but Michael if you look at China's looking now peak carbon so it's basically gonna hopefully reach peak emissions before 2030 like I say when it's a country which is one sixth as wealthy as the United States remarkable achievement really really remarkable if they can do that and the problem we have Michael in the western media is if you say this it's just an observation if they do that it's impressive oh my god why do you hate this country so much who told you that has it been corroborated well actually yes NASA two years ago said that the planet today is greener than it was in the 1990s because of reforestation efforts reforestation efforts by India and China so yes we we do have independent observers verifying this stuff I think reaching peak carbon when you've got a GDP per capita at the same level as Romania when you've got the geopolitical ambitions that China does have I think that's big I think that's huge yes China is not going to massively reduce domestic economic growth and push back its geopolitical ambitions in order to decarbonize even more quickly than it already is of course but this is the world we live in and like I say when you're doing a sort of comparative analysis of China to the US or China to Russia or you know China to Brazil yeah it's far and away ahead particularly in context I have one of the stupidest tweets I've seen recently it's from Anton Spizak who's a policy lead at the Tony Blair Institute where else and in a tweet this week he asked is this the most important chart of our time and the chart he's referring to which he's made on our world in data shows the percentage change in carbon emissions over time in six big countries using 1990 as a baseline as you can see Japan the US Germany and the UK have all reduced their emissions since 1990 but this chart makes it look like that was all completely pointless because the emissions of China and India dramatically rose now there's nothing incorrect about this but I have a problem with that y-axis it's incredibly misleading to make China to make China and India look like the bad guys here now I went on our world in data I made my own graph and instead of looking at the changes in per capita emissions since 1990 I plugged in what emissions actually are and that tells a very very different story so this is the the total CO2 emissions of each of each country over time and whereas the chart shared by the Tony Blair won't makes the US look like a leader in China a laggard the chart based on actual emissions shows that the Americans are still twice as bad as China when it comes to emissions you then have Japan Germany China and the UK bunched in the middle and India with tiny emissions per capita at the bottom so this this this policy lead who is making India look like the bad guys when they've still got emissions which are less than half of of any of the big European countries about an eighth of the United States I mean it just shows how bankrupt so much discussion of this is this has become a real meme hasn't it of of the right there's real backlash which is to say any any action that we take on climate is pointless because actually the responsibility is just with China and India we should go on as normal and there's no point if these big poor countries don't do something first yeah so Britain is about 1% of global CO2 emissions China is about 30% of global CO2 emissions and and that is because of the size of its population I mean that point certainly isn't true for the US Michael that's very important to say they can't make that argument but yeah countries in the EU you know you see it with the true fins or they're called the fins now in Finland you see with far-right parties in smaller European countries particularly in Scandinavia they say look we can't change or Poland we can't change very much so we're just going to keep on burning fossil fuels obviously the world is comprised of 200 nation states so that's obviously a silly argument it's a collective action argument it's like saying I won't do x because it's not going to change everything because not everybody's doing it well you know that was the case and collective action is is literally impossible and we know that's not the case because it happens all the time sometimes in voluntary but often through voluntary action so yeah it's a really daft take and what's happened with the far-right Michael they've gone from outright climate denial saying climate change doesn't exist to yes it does exist but actually we can't do much about it and that is something that you see with you know the far-right party in the Netherlands you see it with the fins in Finland you see it with the far-right in Poland you see it with the Swedish Democrats and Sweden you see it with the Front National or what they call now Reassemblement National in France and it's a change but at the same time Michael you know there are also people in this country or the US progressives who say oh climate change is a thing we have to do something about it and then they don't do anything about it you know Barack Obama's tweeting about how he got stopped climate change this guy was talking meetings in 2018 to oil company executives saying I saved when the US became the world's largest energy exporter briefly that was because of me because of this fracking revolution you should be more grateful so there's a nice proverb in Chinese Michael which is to no one not do is not to know which is to say if you know something but you still don't do it you might as well be ignorant in the first place because you're not actually acting on the information at hand and that's where I see a lot of western progressives on climate change Sadiq Khan we're going to become this green city but we're still going to build the Silver Town tunnel for a couple of billion pounds okay you know but you're not doing so effectively you don't know going back as well to the point you made about that graph that very misleading graph Michael you know China and India are the bad guys here this is like saying my son and this was a tweet I saw so I'm not going to claim responsibility for it this is like saying my son has grown 500 in the last two years and I've lost an inch because I'm growing older does that mean he's a giant well no it's because he was a child and you were an adult and that's probably the best way to look at co2 emissions from global south countries compared to the US and the UK it's a daft thing to say but look these people often um often it's it's it feels almost like they're paid propagandists for a broken status quo Michael of course that's not what I'm saying about that particular person but that's just how it comes across is this the most important chart of our time so grandiose as well I found it all pretty gross


Hi, my name is Diaman. I'm from Azerbaijan. So my final project is about memories. It started with me longing for my hometown. And after it came Prague, I started being homesick. That's how it started. I started restoring my memories. And in the final project, it ended up me recreating them in a different way, in an abstract way. The preparation process is a little bit harder than I thought it would be. And a lot of my friends are helping right now to recreate this space. I have shapes, patterns from the carpet, from our national carpets from my country. And they're all handmade. So I'm still making more of those shapes with the help of my friends. And also another aspect of my project is the architecture of necessity. And so I'm making tiled objects. Again, this tiling was a little bit hard. Because as an idea, they're existing in my head nicely. But when it comes to make them, to make them, it's a bit hard. There will be these carpet patterns starting from the wall. If you can see. And there will be growing and weird shapes from each other. And that will be continuing on the floor. And then in the middle, I have tiled column. Column is part of this space. And I decided to use and make it my own object in a way. So that will be one tiled column and three tiled geometric objects. And also I have four videos, four screens with the videos showing everyday life. Almost nothing is happening. But you still can feel a presence of someone even though you don't see them. So yeah, there will be four videos like that. I think that's it. Please come and see our art.


is like if a Popeyes teamed up with a Dunkin' Donuts. That is a Masala Chicken Parm sandwich. I go local for the momos. Asians are the fastest growing immigrant population in America, and that means Asian restaurants are always changing. Some ideas come from Asia and some are homegrown by our parents and even us. Curious to find out what's leading the charge in the city that never sleeps? Smack that like button. Let's go. What's going on everybody? Welcome to a very special episode of Fumbro's Food. You know that one of our favorite things is to introduce you, as well as ourselves, to brand new Asian concepts that are opening around the country. Where Asian food is headed in America also is kind of telling on where Asians are headed in America. I'm really excited because going to an ethnic restaurant is the second best thing you can do to traveling to that place. It opens your mind, heart, your stomach. Andrew, first up, we've got Lhasa. This is the modern version of the most classical Tibetan restaurant in New York City. They are in East Village, New York, which is not an Asian enclave, so they're making their name known. Guys, this is Lhasa. Hey, everybody. Thank you so much for clicking on that video. A lot of people ask us how we're able to stay fit while eating all the food. Well, guess what? The answer is exercise, and that brings us to our sponsor today, the Fitbot app. It's a workout app on iOS and Android that helps design custom workouts based on your goals and available equipment. If you have a goal, like you want to stay lean, build mass, or just burn fat, then Fitbot can design a easy to follow workout for you. It'll adjust the intensity to progress your workout so that you don't have to think about adding weights. I chose to build mass here, so this is the workout that they gave me. Check it out. Boom. Boom. Boom. While no fitness program is one-size-fits-all, they have special algorithms that are designed for every workout to be better than the last one without overworking your muscles. They're all about progression and getting you better. It's easy to use, notifies you of a new workout, helps customize things for you. It even helps demonstrate how to do certain exercises. All right, everybody, remember, personalized workouts can be a little tough on the budget, but Fitbot right now is only $12.99 per month, or $79.99 for the entire year. And if you sign up right now through this link, you'll get 25% off. All right, you guys, we are in the Manhattan satellite of Lhasa. Well, we are with Pema. You are Tibetan from India. What should we get? I would recommend getting tentuk stir-fried. We serve it as soup as well, but the stir-fried tends to be very popular with lamb. Sushi lamo is really popular here, too. It started off in China with the luffing, and we adapted it into yellow luffing. We also have the doksha, which is a traditional meat that's served cold. Maybe a Lhasa grill would be a good idea. Let's do that. But definitely momos. Definitely momos. Oh my goodness, Andrew, we are at Lhasa right now. They told me that they have food from all the major regions of Tibet. Lhasa grill. It looks like a tart lemon flavor to the beef. It's peppery. It's really nice. Andrew, I've got my yak butter tea. What a delightful beginning. Let's waste no time, Andrew. Doksha. So, Andrew, this tastes a lot like the Sichuan pork, but I'm not going to lie. I kind of like it better. The food here at Lhasa is a one since day one. Lamb tentuk. Mm. Andrew, this chef was straight from Tibet. He doesn't even speak English. These noodles are just big enough. They're not too big, too chewy, but they're big enough to soak up all that flavor. The tentuk is a must get.  I love dipping it in this sauce right here. Mm. I go with loco for the momos. See this chive one right here? That's delicious. That's really good. That is a 10 out of 10. You guys, this is not my first time having the Tingmo, but this is the first time I've had one that looked like this. This one's on me. This is actually something we make here. It's called Chang, and it's fermented barley. Andrew, this has been an amazing experience here at Lhasa so far. Like we said, guys, get a piece of Queens in Manhattan. They're barley wine Chang. Woo! Aren't you guys real quick? Make sure you subscribe, like this video, and turn on your notifications, and make sure you leave a comment in the comment section down below for the algorithm. I think what's very cool about Lhasa is that they have a very small menu. Everything is hitting. Get everything here. I hope that this is a new Asian concept here to stay. All right, you guys, our next Asian concept that is brand new in 2021 is meat and bread. Now, Andrew, what they're doing here is cooking halal food, but not necessarily any sort of Middle Eastern or Indian flavors. They're hot as selling sandwich right now is a Korean fried chicken sandwich. Good guys, meat and bread. All right, everybody, we have the top four sandwiches here at meat and bread. Yo, guys, here I have the Korean fried chicken. Andrew, this is their number one seller, the hot honey. Meat and bread, halal chicken sandwiches. That's a double patty, bro. It's a double patty, double fatty. Really juicy, breast meat right there. I'm great, bread. It's all holding together perfectly. What I like is not, it's not falling apart. Andrew, I have a rib eye chimichurri. Meat and bread got famous for this in Eater recently. This meat looks super high quality. All right, guys, I have the chicken parm. Andrew, is this some churrascos? Yo, guys, is this like a masala chicken parm? Yeah. This has the masala flavors in it. Some Indian spices into the tomato sauce, so it's kind of a mixture and it actually works really well. That is a masala chicken parm sandwich. That's the one. The masala tomato sauce, that's the one. Andrew, this is a dope Asian concept. Like we said, the owners, they are Bengali. They grew up in the LES. Honestly, guys, I think there's a lot of chicken sandwiches out there. I've got to say, meat and bread is near the top of my list. 2021, there are so many different new concepts. This is actually Japanese chefs reinventing Hong Kong cafe food. I mean, we were talking about one of the top chefs from Bohemian doing a Macau chicken curry that almost has more shades of actual Portuguese curries. This is a lobster uni fried rice. This is pork jowl sweet and sour. This is like a churro. And this dish right here is a uni mushroom fried rice. Two different restaurants ran out of the same spot. Chan Chan Tang and then Chan. During the daytime, Chaki still serves the classic Chan Chan Tang, aka Hong Kong cafe menu. But at night, it turns into something totally different. This is the brainchild of Chef Akiko. She lives up to the name. She's really lively. She's really funny. And she said the menu is actually 40% Japanese-inspired, but mostly rooted in Cantonese and Sichuan flavors. It's a subtle, subtle way. It's not a subtle 40% Japanese, like me. To have this in Chinatown, owned by locals, it's truly something different. You guys, our next Asian concept that is brand new for 2021 is elevated Korean fusion spots in the Lower East Side, hipster zone, non-Korean zone, but it's done by chefs that really are intentional and thinking about what they're trying to do. 82, 82, it sounds very much like pali pali, which means hurry up. We got a perilla leaf pasta right here, guys. This is based off a ultra traditional Korean dish. Fusion, they used to have a bad rap, but it's really about who's executing it. Now what are we looking at? Here we got the dakgalbi, which is like a kimchi fried rice with some cheese and some chicken. No, that's really interesting because sometimes the cheese is on top of the rice. The cheese was at the bottom. Over here, I've got their version of the KFC, the Korean fried chicken. This looks almost like chicken skin, it's so thin, but there is meat in here. So this is almost like an ultra thin chicken tender. Honestly, guys, that is such a unique blend of a karage flavor. With the kimchi fried rice, you have an explosion of all different flavors and with cheese, to the onions, to the seaweed, and the chicken is so juicy. They use dark meat chicken here. Here's the Iberico pork kalbi. Ooh, look at that. That pork is grilled perfectly. This pork is cooked perfectly. Samjang is coming through. It's just so much flavor is going on in my mouth right now. I'm taking another bite. Here we have the tuna tartar, which looks like dried salmon skin, but it's actually a fried seaweed. I think that's what shredded cheese, I think I'll talk. Little Krispies, guys. Oh, here the crisp, here the crisp, get close. What I love with 8282 represents whole new Korean fusion wave that is happening, especially in East Village and Lower East Side, is spot on. Y'all thought fusion food was dead? Nah, man, it's still on the come up. All right, you guys, our next Asian concept that is brand new for 2021, 2022 is so box. They're doing homestyle Korean lunch food. Korean food is making its way down kind of from like Korean barbecue to lunch spots that are like made to order to go. You're not gonna find like kimchi aioli here. You're gonna find squid game cookies. Let's check it out. All right, you guys, we're at Sobak right now. This is country style Korean food. This is a ganjang and egg bop.  How's it tasting? Pretty good, very homemade. A soy sauce and egg, the all time classic pairing. This is a chung chung, buk duk, un zong. I'm almost got it. Sobak style bibimbap. Guys, this is his own style of bibimbap. What's very special is the sauce. You can tell all the little difference. It looks different. It looks different. The side dishes look more clean. How is it different, bro? With the minced pork sauce, this is great for I'm not gonna lie, the addition of meat was very much appreciated. I like this better than other bibimbap. And it's not as much focused on the red gochujang sauce that you scored on top. I like this style. Just a preview, two of the more authentic, super exclusive items they have at Sobak. Here we got a squid game cookie. What do we call this in Korean? Tadakona. Tadakona. As you can see, the kalbi tong is coming. He said he uses a very unique cut of meat. This is a sample here at Sobak. I can't wait till you guys get this on the menu. Oh, that's good. I'm glad these country Korean concepts are coming in hipster form. Shout out to Sobak. Everything we got was only 20 bucks. $13 for the bibimbap, $7 for the ganjang and egg bop. Get it. This comes from the mind of Hunan Slurp Shop. Andrew, Hunan Slurp Shop, they're friends of ours. They were architects that transferred into food. Henceforth, why the design here is so crazy. You've never seen, you know, dumplings. It's almost like a comfort food. Hey, I would definitely recommend you check out the basement, because the basement has divides. All right, Andrew, we have mackerel dumplings. We have a trio of shrimp and pork and other types of things here. And we have a salmon crudo. Salmon crudo. Yo. It almost tastes like a raw version of the Cantonese junior scallion fish. It tastes a little bit like a Thai sausage plate because of the raw ginger flavoring in there. It's really good. Obviously guys, they're serving mackerel dumplings here. It's a little bit more of a northeastern Shandong Dalian style, mackerel dumplings. Man, I just love how they make the dumplings so perfectly. The shape is perfect. It has the right amount of like fingerprints you can see. And not a lot of people were serving mackerel dumplings outside of flushing. So for them to bring this in this elevated, like futuristic year 3,000 setting is pretty interesting. And we got to get into the goatea. You know, they are doing the pot sticker style, very small, very delicate. That's the one. That's the one. The quality and kind of how the dumpling is constructed together is definitely one notch higher though. Moving on, last but not least, Andrew, we have a shrimp toast. Whoa. That's like a sweet cream on your shrimp toast. It's like the most tender shrimp ball inside. You know, as good as the dumplings were here, I gotta say the appetizers might've been even more impressive. The shrimp toast was a five out of five. That's one of the best things I've had in a while. Dumpling Lab is doing something that you've never seen before from a Chinese restaurant, particularly something with the word dumpling in the name. Andrew, this next spot, Mochi Nut, is exploding. I think they got like a hundred of them set to open. It's like the trendiest kind of Asian snacks out there, Mochi Nut. Hi, I'm here with Elaine, and Elaine is actually from Brazil. She's speaking Portuguese, because that's what they speak in Brazil. All right, guys, here we have the Mochi Nut Ube, Tall Boy, and then you got the brown sugar Boba Tall Boy from Mochi Nut. Boba drinking like a Tall Boy. Yeah, dude, that's impelvis. Their corn dog here looks a little bit larger and almost more American than the other one. Tastes more like a regular American corn dog than the other Korean corn dogs I've had. Mozzarella side. You know, I'm gonna go ahead and say that Mochi Nut is expanding at a really rapid pace because it is the most Americanized version of these things. I think every college campus should have a Mochi Nut. Mochi Nut donuts. Guys, I have the Guava One, Dave, you have the cookies and cream. Oh, you got Guava? If you wanna all in one, Mochi Nut is the place to go, but I'm not gonna say that it's like the highest tier of any item. Our next brand new Asian concept that has never been seen before, Andrew, is counter service dim sum. Yeah, we're here at awesome dim sum that we've eaten a lot today, but let's get something here at awesome dim sum. I'm feeling one of their combos. All right, you guys, we are looking at the dim sum here at awesome dim sum. They have some unique dishes, Andrew. The avocado churring fun. Bacon wrap shrimp ball. Hey, the shrimp ball is pretty high quality. I was talking to the owner back there, he was just like, hey man, we're just trying to deliver the dim sum that everybody loves with some authenticity while doing our own little take on it. That's where this avocado churring fun comes in. David, they put avocado in the churring fun and it has called some controversy. Or is it innovation? My verdict is it's not bad, but I wouldn't say it's great. It's two things that people could consider to have bland flavor profiles. Guys, here, which dumpling is this? Oh, shrimp and chive dumpling. Good one. Andrew, we have been trying to get the Tsingbukku Kaipon for so long in Chinatown. Of course, it was 10 bucks instead of $4, but you know. Hey, well, you know what? I'm not here to advertise, but they are supposed to be opening up a location in Times Square. I'm interested to see how that does. All right, our next concept is another sushi spot, but it's called Min Sushi now. They specialize in rice bowls, udon, and if only several types of rolls, I got my udon here with pork and then I have my spicy salmon rolls right here. Retro ginger on top, pieces of pork, udon, lots of noodles, lots of udon, wow.  A lot of sushi is actually meant to be eaten with your hands. Min Sushi, I think, is a great starting point for how authentic Japanese food needs to be. This really does feel like kind of Japanese restaurants that I've had in non-Japanese countries, kind of like China, Hong Kong, Taiwan. Very gingery. All right, you guys, our next new Asian concept that just opened up is actually a fusion restaurant between Japanese and Italian food, but Andrew, most of the chefs that we've met that have done a fusion are actually Asian. Yeah, so this spot is called NSA Noodle Bar. It stands for No Strings Attached. We have a miso honey barata. This is actually super interesting. I'm surprised that nobody's done this before. Honey miso barata. The miso cleaned up any of the sourness that you sometimes get from barata. I'm gonna go ahead and say this is one of my favorite baratas. Shout out to them for coming up with this dish. That was good. Moving on to our second dish, Andrew, you've got the blackened Japanese tiger scallops with the fettuccine Alfredo Japanese scallop fettuccine. I don't know if it's because that scallop is from Japan, but that had a lot of flavor. No, that scallop was good. The fettuccine is really good too, guys. Okay, moving on to the obviously Asian dishes. We have their two ramens. They cold shrimp yuzu ramen right here, and you have your shoyu yuzu broth right here. And they said you almost just dip it like a tsukamen right here, just like this. Shrimp yuzu tsukamen. Oh my goodness, yeah. Dude, I gotta get some more of this yuzu broth. I was thrown off by the red bell peppers at first. It kind of made me a little sussed out. Really quite good. I have to say, man, I have been impressed. I think a lot of times you're thinking Jamie Oliver, you're thinking Gordon Ramsay even messes up Asian food, but whoever the chef is back there, she is cooking up some tasty fusion dishes. Aren't you guys moving on? We actually have a truffle tonkatsu. They said this is their best seller. As you can see, Andrew, this is a gigantic slab pork belly. The ramen is more Japanese and the pasta is more Italian, but either way, there's a slight twist to everything. Yeah, I think whether they went Western or Eastern, it was 70, 30, 80, 20. Truffle tonkatsu. So as you can see, I had a really thin slice, and that means it was really extra crispy and it really does feel like bacon. It's not as crunchy, but it was really crispy. The meat is really good.  I think you definitely need to come check this out. Dude, if the non-Asian chefs can cook Asian food well and they show respect, I'm all for it. Aren't you guys, so we're at Arabica coffee straight from Kyoto, Japan. Like we said, they blew up all over Asia before entering the US market. This is their marquee item, the Spanish coffee, Spanish latte. The quality of each individual ingredient is incredibly high. Same with this matcha latte. Ultimately, guys, Arabica is incredibly simple. The menu is simple, but the design is very high. But overall, I think a very solid dish and worth checking out. All right, guys, I'm outside of Momofuku noodle bar. They just reopened. Gotta talk about these two dishes right here. This ginger scallion noodle is inspired by great NY noodle town in Chinatown. You know David Cheng, he said that that is one of his favorite noodles of all time, and he's done his own take on it with seaweed and mushrooms, ginger, scallion sauce, oil, cucumbers. He's also known for his lambows. I'm gonna see if he's infused that into this lambow. It's like a lamb patty, fuku sauce, little cucumbers there. Let's get it. So it does have some of that Central Asian Middle Eastern spice, yang rou char, in a bow. See how they compare it to a great NY noodle town. That is not what I expected. Super buttery, super oily. All right, this is great NY noodle town meets Ippuro, and then this is gonna be a Chinese lamb skewer meets a hamburger. Momofuku noodle bar, man, much appreciated. Andrew, we are looking at the KFC of Taiwan right now, but instead of green peas from the south, they have shishado peppers. Bro. I've never even seen this before in my life. Break that open, man. This is one of those stuffed rice chicken wings that you get at the Taiwanese night market. Kwa-kwa-baw. A lot of rice though. For me, a little too much rice. This TKK in kung fu tea is like if a Popeyes teamed up with the Dunkin' Donuts. We are getting down to the nitty gritty of it, man. This is the Taiwanese fried chicken right here. He made sure to let me know that in the three piece, there was no white meat. This is chicken that's been marinated for 24 hours, TKK fried chicken. Listen, if you are looking for a little bit of Taiwanese five spice, the faintest hint of it, come to TKK fried chicken. You owe it to yourself to try the Taiwanese fried chicken. Y'all never seen this before. Take part of that kwa-kwa-baw on there too. This is a shishito sandwich. I gotta put my money on any fried chicken concept right now because people love fried chicken more than they ever had. By the way, Andrew, might we add that they love hip hop R&B in Taiwan and they got SuperBase, Jason Derulo, all types of hip hop R&B playing.

Okay, we're still going on with that reconciliation thing. And at the bottom of the deck, Cancer Energy, there's a Chariot here. So there's action and change happening here. Somebody's coming towards you. Somebody's making big changes in this connection, okay? Or traveling. Could be somebody new for some of you.  Alright, so we have Aquarian Energy here. Some of you are going to see, you're going to a concert maybe.  It could be like a movie date or a concert. Someone famous for some of you.

And trust me, I do get personal readings with some famous people. So I know you're out there. I know you're listening to my channel. Tower readings are for everyone, okay? Again, the Six of Swords is a travel card. So again, there's travel here. There's movement. Somebody facing their fears, okay? Somebody overcoming some obstacles, mental blocks, dropping their sword, taking a situation that is rather chaotic or strenuous and moving into calmer waters, okay? Definitely a healing. There's renewal and hope here. Somebody could be connecting less. This could be a work situation for some of you. As soon as somebody's finished work or they're working on maybe they're a recording artist, somebody here could be you. I'm just picking up the energy of recording artists, audio, video, film, podcasts, maybe YouTube. Somebody who's in the public eye, okay? Could be meeting somebody who's in the public eye or connecting with someone in that energy. It's weird. So we have the king of wands. So I'm definitely picking up Aries energy for some. Well, for a lot of you, for most of you, because we have the queen of wands, we have the emperor and the king of wands, okay? So this could be your person. A lot of conflict with this person, competition and challenges, all right? Maybe you're not going to, maybe you're going to a fight.  Okay. Let's get the love messages. See what's going on here. Yesterday's reading was very lovely. It was a very emotional reading yesterday. I'm not, I'm not really feeling that today. Let's take a look here. Pay attention to the red flags. I don't know if this is connected to yesterday's reading. Yesterday's reading was, might've just been an isolated incident for somebody needed, or wanted, needed to hear that. Unrequited love, okay. And love yourself first, okay? Virgo, Virgo, Virgo, Virgo. Some of you were just like, you dropped the ball, obviously. I think we're back to the old energies playing out here. Somebody dropped the ball. Somebody's, you're just, oh, wait a minute. They just gave me something here. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, no, no, no, no.  Oh gosh, now we've got the star again underneath the deck. I just was splitting it and the Hierophant. Religious healing, spiritual healing. Are some of you going to school or taking classes? Terror classes or learning astrology or spiritual, mediumship, chatteling, what have you? I just heard that message. The Spirit said if you're not doing that or you've been thinking about doing that, keep that going. Okay, so what's going on here? We have fire and Scorpio. Okay, so Mars energy. There's Mars energy is leading this reading. Okay, Mars rules, Aries and Scorpio as well. We also have Leo and Sagittarius. So listen to me. Listen, Virgo. Push, pull. They just said, they just said to me, push, pull. There's somebody here, whoever they are. It's not you. Comes in with a solid offer. Yep, there's your notification. Somebody comes in with a solid offer, very excited about this, and then stops it from happening. Comes in with a proposal for marriage, comes in with offers, puts down payment on something and bests. They thought about it. They think about it, thought about for a really long time or just this energy of this person just, yes, I'm here. I'm ready. Let's do it. I'm excited. Let's do it. And then boom, stops, blocks it. Red flags, big time. This person seeking red flags, looking for red flags, looking for signs. It's, it feels like a sabotage energy. All right, let me see Night of Pentacles. Very excited about this, what they want to do here. This offer them a very, very feeling, we're feeling very positive about this or are feeling very positive about this. Very excited, making plans, connecting with you. Okay, three swords. I feel like wasn't in the same position yesterday. Why are they making these plans? Because they're heartbroken, right? But then the seven of wands and then they're like, Nope, never mind, forget it. Defense, playing defense, can't, can't calm, can't do it, can't connect. Can't follow through with this offer that I'm giving you. Star again. Okay, you're connecting with someone. I can't, I'm not ready. I have to heal. I've got some healing to do or this is somebody, aquarium energy, or this is somebody who is in the public eye. I just feel that, you know, the paranoid, I just, they just gave me that black Sabbath song paranoid. I heard that paranoid. This person gets paranoid. As soon as things start moving forward, they're ready, they're excited, they're they're amped up.  They can't renew it. They can't renew the connection. It's just frustrating for you. I feel you have a frustration going on here. See my the bells keep going off here. So there's clarification coming in. Oh, two of pentacles, the king of pentacles very excited about you. Maybe you're connecting with an earth sign very excited about you seem stable seems like they're coming from a place of abundance that they can make that they're making this offer to you and they're excited. But why do they stop? Well, now they got to weigh their options again. Wait, I gotta, I gotta think about it again. I need to I need some time to think about this now. Stop, start, stop, start, stop false starts, stop, start a lot of that. Because it get cold feet, it gets scared. Well, what if this happens? What if that happens red flags? Oh, Virgo said something. I don't like that. I guess put a halt on it. Virgo wants me too much. I'm gonna put all on it. Virgo doesn't want me enough. I gotta put a halt on it. excuses, excuses, finding reasons to this person is only paying attention to red flags. Person is just keeps seeking them out. Too afraid to get right to the edge of the cliff. They get up in that plane with their backpack ready to jump. And as soon as it gets to the edge cold feet, they back out. Keep backing out backing out energy here. Okay, why? Because they think they're seeing red flags or they're making up red flags or they're just using excuses to back out like this fear why fear based their fear based. And yet, I'm hearing getting up the courage, trying to get up the courage to do this doesn't mean anything to do with you. Just paranoia and fear. Fear of what death, fear of fear of something not working out fear of something ending. Okay, fear of it. unrequited love fear of it not going anywhere fear of there not being enough chemistry. This might be somebody new that you're currently talking to and maybe dating or planning this person might have a fear of COVID. Are they using that as an excuse or reason not to come forward? But it feels to me like, Well, I want to but I don't know if there's enough chemistry or attraction between us. I'm not sure I kind of think so. But then I'm not sure there's question is questionable behavior. They're questioning you. Are you still with somebody else? What's the past position with your ex? Are you did you let the ex go like, I feel this extreme enthusiasm to come towards you. Even though they know they could get their heartbreak, but then they put the stop they put the they put the brakes on it. They put the brakes on it. All right, show me this death card here because it's like transformation and new beginnings. King of Wands again. Okay. Power up. They just said the powering up this person is weak minded or weak willed lacking in courage and strength, lacking in confidence is how I feel trying to get their confidence back making changes transforming going from the King of Wands to the emperor. This person lacks confidence. Is this something to do with you? I don't feel like it. I feel like this person just I'm just I keep seeing someone standing at the edge of the cliff.  They're ready to do it. They're go go go go and they're just so excited. But as soon as they get to that cliff edge is second thoughts. This could be an alter situation for some of you plans to get married. Ready, ready, ready, ready to go, ready to go. Let's do it. And then they backed out or they back out. And they're trying to regain the courage to come towards you. A lot of conflict with this person. But I feel like they will because like I said here in the beginning, the Six of Swords overcoming their fears, defeating their fears. It's crazy. So why is the emperor here in the center? Well, I mean, the emperor is here in the center because the center of the reading basically is all about this person bossing up gaining the courage to come towards you to earth to come out of themselves. That's how I should spirit corrected me not not to come towards Virgo but to come out of them who they come out of themselves come out of their fear based self. Okay. And so this person comes in makes plans with you again. Then they start they start the process all over again. Page of Pentacles communicating with you. Okay, okay, let's do it this time. Now I can do it. To you they're giving your excuses or reasons why they can't do something. But that's not really the truth. Okay, they're just putting obstacles in the way. Now they're coming in now they're communicating with you not so not as enthusiastic because they were before but more sensibly. Okay, I think that I can do this maybe more like giving you financial reasons now before it was just passionate. Now it's more grounded financial reasons financial, you know, I've got the money now or I'm going to get a ticket for somewhere. Okay, let me see. Make more of a sensible approach. They they've gotten rid of their fear. And now they're in a more sensible approach. Okay, the seven of swords. Yeah, so that deceit and deception, they're at peace. See, I feel like this person was deceiving or lying or giving excuses to anyone that can do something connect with you go on that second date, go on that first date, reconnect with you, or see you again. Excuse me. Excuse me, they kept running away because they were scared. They gave you excuses, they didn't want you to find out what the truth was and that their fear be fear based, which is really kind of hard for someone who sits in an Emperor King position or someone who's in a queen position to admit those fears because there might be a little bit of ego playing out here. But the four swords tells me no longer need to run now they're going to stay put. They're at peace. Even so they're at peace now was finding out if this relationship can keep going, whether it can or not before I feel like my gosh, my phone keeps going up before I felt like I feel like they didn't want to know they didn't want to find that out. It's all about acceptance. This person, I feel like has a hard time accepting situations. They have to be in control. This force or it makes you feel like a lack of control, no longer controlling the situation, accepting everything as it comes down the line, you know, wherever, whatever tomorrow brings, they're going to be there. Yeah, I don't have all the answers here. They don't know what to expect the moon secrets, hidden things. They don't know how they're going to feel. They don't know what's going to happen. But it just feels to me like them getting up the courage to I mean, I don't know, I'm trying not to judge because I don't think life is so linear, you know, I feel like this can just be a normal process of things. What? So I want to ask you spirit, what caused? What is this conflict? This person? What kept this person from I mean, obviously, I don't. So okay, what kept this person from retreat? Why did they keep retreating? Why did they all have all these false starts, stops and starts control? Yeah, because I have to be in control of the relationship and of themselves. I feel like a little bit of this yesterday's reading is bleeding out into this and they're just telling me the person from yesterday's reading perhaps could be on a path of progress and enlightenment here. It had to be in control. They didn't want you have all the power. So lovers, yep. Love scares this person. It's not you Virgo. It's not you. It's unconditional love. It's acceptance, compassion. This person, they have such a strong need to be seen as the emperor or the Empress to be seen as someone who is so high value to be to have you see them that way. They weren't prepared to have you see them as less than how they felt about themselves. You may not have felt you Virgo, I feel like just love this person, which doesn't have any discrimination in any way, shape, or form and discrimination and economics, race, ethnic, cultural anything where they're in life.  And you don't judge. And if it's a celebrity, well that's your person, then you don't you don't put somebody in a box. You just love them for who they are, right? That's just how you are. And this person has trouble loving themselves. They don't see themselves the way you see themselves. So they have to keep taking a step back, telling themselves, Okay, not ready. No, I have to be in better shape or I have to lose more weight or have to have more money or have to have better cars or have to be more stable or have more organization. And I have to have this, this, this, this in order to be accepted.  But I mean, those are external things. I mean, I love you for who you are, right? Virgo, and that's how you are. That's how you just generally are.  I don't feel like this person was even a slacker, so to speak. I just feel like they don't, they just kept backing out or saying no, because they're right clothes, right pair of shoes, couldn't get their hair right, or they didn't, they didn't have enough weight on them, or they didn't have enough weight off of them, or their physique was very, a lot of external things may they thought you might think they were strange or weird or different.  Competition in a lot of ways. All right, let me see. The world is here. Okay, this person's they're gonna, they're gonna do it this time. If there's been plans being made, you've never met this person, Virgo. There's been plans being made over and over and over and no follow through, they're gonna follow through now, only because they feel comfortable within themselves. There's nothing Virgo, you could, you could have been telling this person, I don't care about that, I don't care about that and care about that. They needed to not care about it. So they needed to get themselves in a particular place in order to feel comfortable with themselves to come with you to connect with you to be with you. And they get there. And that's all on them. Okay. And Virgo, I just kind of feel like you're like, okay, well, you know, but what happens about the next time? Like, Virgo, you're you're kind of looking at them like, you know, you gotta get confidence within your soul from the inside out, not the outside in gaining our validation from external sources is never fulfilling with confidence and acceptance of self within, I am lovable. I am wonderful. I am worthy. Believing that about yourself makes Lamborghinis, Ferraris, fancy clothes, money, all that irrelevant, because you love yourself, right? And I feel like you tell yourself, you tell this person and you could have told this person how wonderful they were, how great they were. This, they did not believe this about themselves. So they just throw up red flags. Or if they saw one, then they would just kind of dip out and just something here tells me they go through some kind of healing change here with the star just weren't ready. Okay, the world six of cups and the six of cups, reconciliation, blasts from the past, reconnecting. Okay, some of you, this is a long distance thing, or this is just two people finally coming together. There's also some apologies here for taking too long for some. I don't feel like this is a deep heavy relationship for you guys. I don't feel like this rating particular, this might just be someone for a lot of you, it's it really is someone that you haven't met yet, that you met online or something. And for others, you did know this person in your childhood, or when you were younger. And then a lot of time went by now you're reconnecting and this person's changed. And they look different and they want to make sure they look right for you. They want to look the way they looked when you first met. And it's kind of very self effacing. And it's kind of vein, some vanity attached to that attached to them. Maybe they haven't a hard time accepting that they're getting older in life.  And then it's all dropped down onto their chin in a form of a beard. Maybe they have like tons of stretch marks, or they've gained weight, or you know, they have gels. They don't they have some gray hair for some, you know, there's a bit of a struggle here with vanity. Okay, making a decision here, six of cups to reconnect. Yeah, I feel like this person intuitively knows. Look, love yourself first. That's what I was just saying here. Your self respect makes you more romantically attractive. I feel like this person is coming through that phase where that's really what I feel like it is loving them learning to love themselves feeling like they're lovable and worthy. This person kind of bases how other people feel about them. And that's they base their self worth on that. Like so someone is constantly reaching out and loving them and hugging them and then they make then they feel like, Oh, I must be great. And if then if that same person is not doing that anymore, then they say, Oh, I must not be great. So they have a lack of self security security within self that they lack that. Okay, and I feel like something is happening here where they're learning. Maybe it's not being together has woken them up and you know, and what happens, you know, when there's a split or a breakup or people separate and we all get into self love.  Excuse me without. Oh, sorry, without any external validation, which is great. That's great. Just just validation from God. Validation from God is all you need. Okay, seven of swords again here. Okay, so I feel like this was similar to yesterday taken those five swords and carrying them away, removing the five swords from this relationship control. Okay, and communication meant to dictate how the relationship the love relationship ought to be. Okay, and leaving two swords behind here, right here, which is intuitively knowing that it's okay to connect to come back to one another to make the plans to move forward for some of you reconciliation, definitely. I love it. I really like this reading.  I feel like it's going to be a little shorter than normal, which is fine. Let's take a look here. I feel like I want to get your love messages first.  Okay, obsession. Someone is connect someone in this connection is gripped by obsessive thoughts. Yeah, this person definitely obsessed with right flags, thoughts, obsessive thoughts. Am I good enough? Am I good enough? Am I good enough? Can I do this? Will she like me? Will he like me? Will I be? Will I be accepted? Will I be loved? You know, obsessive negative thinking is what I think. I mean, it feels negative thinking someone in this connection is gripped by obsessive thoughts. I mean, gripping something can be stressful. Holding it holding on to it long enough can hurt your hands, right? So gripped. I don't think it's ever painful to be gripped with positive thinking. So this feels like gripped with negative thoughts. I kind of wish that maybe she clarified that in this card. But that's maybe I'll write it in there because that's how I feel. That's what that is. Thoughts thoughts of how things might turn out how things might not turn out worry, worry, worry, OCD worry. Time apart distance will help bring clarity. Okay, some of you are getting distance with tarot card readers or readings, you're getting clarity or seeking your distancing yourself from your own obsessive thinking about this connection and getting clarity by refocusing your energy on seeking answers or speaking to spirit or getting readings or messages and stuff like that. So that's how I kind of feel about that. Rather than thinking about how things may not work out between you and them, or being obsessively worried about the connection, you're distancing yourself from from those worries. distracting yourself new love a new love or recommitment to love is developing. Yeah, so I feel that here with the six of cups, some of you are reconnecting to a past someone from when you were very young. Okay, and there's a and there's a new love spark happening here. And for others, this is a reconnection or recommitment to a past lover in the sense of like someone that you've just recently been out of a relationship with intuition, you already know the answer you seek and support learn lean on your inner circle during this time. And I think some of you are doing that. Maybe you're getting some counseling, or some life coaching, or just, you know, really getting in touch with your intuition at this time, practicing intuitive practices, distracting yourself with things like that. Oops. Alright, they want you to have these I'm so attracted to you from this person. You came closer than anyone. Yeah, and they threw up those red flags, flag on the play, flag on the play, you know how like in some football games, sometimes those referees just throw the flags just to throw penalties. Sometimes people think that sometimes it's not it's unnecessary. But it happens. And I feel like this, like I feel like they, as soon as you got closer, they threw up a red flag deep in security with this person. If you see their inner their innards, their guts, you might not really like them. They try to put on a front. They try to be something that you would be have a hard time resisting. But they don't understand whoever you're dealing with doesn't understand how Virgo works, because Virgo attaches through the soul, Virgo sees right through things, because Virgo is the virgin, the sign of purity and clarity. Okay, Virgo strips away all the unnecessary details and gets to the core of things.  And it scares them to death, to death do us part.  Yet, it's a conundrum because they're so attracted to that about you. It's a challenge.  I know I messed up everything. I wish I could take my words back. Okay, I'll wait for a sign from you. I'm afraid to contact you again with this fear. But I can't stop thinking of you. You don't know how hard it was to let you go. I wish I could share my good news with you. And you speak to me through music that shows up a lot. I lost myself for a little while. You know what you guys? I wish I treated you better. Listen, see the stuck. I'm going to retire the stuck for a little while. I am I'm going to retire the stuck for a little while. I have to. I have to I feel like I've it's it's it's not speaking to me anymore. Maybe it's speaking to you, but I'm the reader. It's my channel. It's not speaking to me. And I'm going to give I'm going to put that I'm going to put that away for a little while. I just want you to know my readings going forward because that's what happens, you know, we shift out our cards and stuff because some just need break. Some just need to sit by the windowsill and catch the moonbeams and catch break for a little while and get reenergized. And I'm here every single day. So I'm going to reenergize this deck or figure something else else out to do with it. All right. Let me take a look here and see what your this video is going to be a little bit shorter. Let's see what your other messages are here a very ago. Okay. Oh, the sun again. A time of great joy and success. You are my sunshine. My only sunshine. Brilliant epiphanies that lead to magical opportunities. Plans that work out perfectly gratitude to the vine. So I feel like the false starts false starts penalty on the play red flags. All that. And I know I speak in football terms because I don't know, I feel like life can be related to a football game. Especially like you're on the offense and this person's on the defense. Virgo is not afraid to tackle problems or conflicts. Virgo is not fearful. Virgo just comes at things in a very pragmatic way and practical way. And it's like, Okay, it's not a big deal. Look, let's just sort it out. Look, here's a big mess. We'll just organize it, sort it out over figure out where the issues are overcome the problem and move on. Virgo is just what's the problem? Okay.  No, I got to block you. No, no, no. So the sun here makes me feel like things are going to actually work out. There's an opening up. Okay, with this connection, this person, there's joy, happiness, success here. Does your person will they still see red flag down then? Yeah, that's just kind of how they are. They have, they just some people are just like that. Some people are optimistic. Some people are pessimistic. And some people are opportunists. But this looks like opportunist opportunity. Okay, the sun and the moon. What? I love that. They're a pair. They're partners. They work in tandem. They work together. They balance each other out. Virgo, you have the sun. You are the sun energy. Even though you're in, you have a yang energy about you maybe externally. Maybe it's your Chinese. Maybe you're dragon, or you just have that yang stuff going on. The moon listen to your intuition. Listen to your heart when they're calling for you. Listen to your intuition and pay attention to signs from the divine. This is your person. Pay attention, pay like always paying attention. Are you going? Are you connecting with another Virgo? Or someone with heavy Virgo placements or fear based placements? Like Scorpio? This is Pisces. Pisces and Leo. Okay. Unnecessary worry. Let go of your fears, revelations that will make everything okay. And clear. This is you two are like night and day. That's what this is what the thing is. You and your person are like night and day Virgo. But you balance each other out, believe it or not, they come in dark, you come in light. Very much a yin yang energy, you balance each other out. This is the only we can't be all young.  And if we didn't have the moon, we'd have no, what would happen to our oceans, they would be stagnant, stagnant water, right? The moon brings the waves.  So there's a nice balance here. Recognize each other's differences with more compassion. Recognize your person has a very has a deep emotional seeing within them. I don't care. I don't know what sign I don't know what their placements are. I don't, you know, I don't know exactly I can tell you there's fire, there's earth, I'm picking up water, teeny, teeny, tiny bit of air. Okay. Recognize the differences between the two of you and come into balance. Focus on the strengths between the two of you. And strengthen your weaknesses. Okay, but except that sometimes you will each have your weak moments. And one becomes more strong. One becomes the stronger one for the one who's weaker. And one becomes the softer one for the one who's too hard, right, the water and water and okay, let's see, I just keep giving this weird message, Virgo, that sun in you, I feel like the Virgo sun, that sun in you heats up this person's emotions. That's why I feel like they're here, or why they keep staying. It's overwhelming. That's why they throw up these red flags. Okay. You're like hot fire. This person is wet and moist. I'm leaving it there. We'll take it. I'm leaving it there. Alright, let's get your charms. Remember, you guys hit like, share and subscribe on the video.

They just they just showed me like a wood door. Oh, an attic. There's a wooden door to an attic. There's something up there for you. Something that you've been looking for.
