An Alarming Tuesday!

Hey Laowinners!

Happy Tuesday to all of you, and an alarming one for us over here at the Milk household.
Vivi's due date was January 2nd, but today at the ultrasound, the doctor found that she is already very dilated, and baby Lucia is already 1 lb. heavier than Olivia was at birth! She could barely get the 3D ultrasound of her face because she is so smashed packed in there. Poor Vivi...

Either way, that means that Vivi wi...

Early Release - Understanding China's Sexuality

Hey Laowinners!

Hope you all are having an awesome Friday! We had to rename and retag this video a billion times before YouTube stopped flagging it, but it will probably get flagged anyway, haha.

Winston and I came up with this video idea off of the cuff, but I really think it's one of our best.

China's sexuality starts from the lack of sex ed in schools, and from parents and peers, but that doesn't make it a prude culture.

Sex culture is thriving in China, but in this video we talk about the stark differ...

Vivi Triggers an Amish Woman

Hey Laowinners!

If you haven't seen Vivi visits Amish country it's here:
https://youtu.be/JRjRSH8tPXA

I didn't include this scene because this woman VERY MUCH did not want to be filmed, but I figured I'd run the camera to the side to get the conversation.

Most of the Amish people we met were really opposed to cameras of any type, but that is to be expected. We were respectful, but even filming near them was enough to set some people off. Either way, we did wh...

On Girls vs. Boys - Preference in China

Hey Laowinners!

Hanging in there? It's only Tuesday!!!

I took Vivi and Olivia to the doctors office to one more ultrasound before Vivi goes into labor. I still can't believe Lucia is the same size as Olivia when she was born... already! 

It got me thinking about these conversations I always hear with my wife and her mom on the phone. 

Despite the ultrasound proving that it is a girl in Vivi's womb, my mother in law REFUSES to believe that it is not a boy. She says that i...

We Were Poisoned in China - Early ADV Release

Hey Laowinners!

How y'all doing? I for one, am not digging the cold. It's brutallllllll.

Winston and I were digging through old videos a while back, and we found one where we accidentally drank counterfeit beer, which left us in almost a paralyzed state for 2 or 3 days afterwards. We only drank 2 beers each! This dangerous food and alcohol safety situation is scary, so we talk about this in this weeks ADVChina video.

Going through some dietary changes! Say goodbye to pizza...

Those Freakin Lips!

Hey Laowinners!

Vivi has a few more weeks til she pops, but the doctor said Lucia is already 7 lbs! Meaning she's already slightly heavier than Olivia when she was born!!! Oops!

So... Vivi is super paranoid that Lucia is going to be ugly when she is born. I keep telling her that there is nothing to worry about, since ALL babies are hideous as new borns.

I do see what she's saying on the lip front though. Those things look like freakin hamburger patties.

Party in the Streets of HK

Hey Laowinners!

While editing tomorrows release, "What Words are Censored in China?", I remembered that when filming it, there was a MASSIVE party in the streets, mostly comprised of elderly people rocking the hell out. Vivi and I were confused when we saw that some of these singers had a huge fan base, and personalized lit up signs with the singers name on it.

There was no mention of this happening, but we had never seen so many people on one street. It was actually difficult to move ar...

Friday Love For Ya'll.

Hey Laowinners,

Did I use, "Ya'll" correctly? We don't say that in the bitter cold forests of the Northeast. It's a fun word, though.

ANYWAY!

Thanks to all of you who hung out with me on the livestream. It's posted in its entirety above. 

I did it differently this time, so instead of just doing a Q&A, I did a full video topic for the first 30 minutes about my predictions on where I think China is going. 

This was the most controversial video I've ever put out, but I want to stress that the Chinese peopl...

So This Was Awesome!!!

Hey Laowinners!

So we told our friend, Jun Li to expect about 20 people at his new branch of Focus BBQ in San Diego... well, it turned out that number was probably 7 or 8 times more. The entire restaurant was packed to the point where it flooded into the parking lot.

It's super incredible that people would drive up to 10 hours to come see two guys from the internet. It really makes you think about the power of YouTube and the internet, and...

On Pollution

Hey Laowinners!

The picture above is an app that will tell you how many cigarette equivalent of pollution you "smoked" on any given day in your city in China. I doubt the accuracy, but thought it was fun.

First of all, much thanks is in order for ALL OF YOU for this Thanksgiving.
The family and I, along with Winston went to Arizona to a friends house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a lovely time, and Vivi finally got to see what Thanksgiving was all about. She liked the turkey, mashed potatoes, cranber...

Meet us at Focus BBQ in San Diego

Hey Laowinners!

Just an announcement to anyone willing to make the trek to San Diego, we will be having a meetup at a NEW BRANCH of Focus BBQ, similar to where we filmed the above video. Our friend Jun Li opened a new branch in San Diego, and we wanted to meet with you guys!

Come meet Winston and I at Focus BBQ in San Diego on November 27th at 6PM!

Millions of People "Raised from Poverty" - Who Put Them There?

Hey Laowinners!

I'm getting concerned that the New York Times is getting paid by the CCP. Let me tell you why.

Article here- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/18/world/asia/china-social-mobility.html

There is this popular phrase going around on the western internet about how 800 million Chinese people have been raised out of poverty. That means that 2.5x the USA populat...

Big News For Y'all + T-shirt Winners!

Hey Laowinners!

Big news today! Winston and I discuss our future plans, and why the future is so exciting for all three channels!

It's so weird to actually be on a real motorcycle with actual power. Quite scary, but starting to get the hang of it. 

We actually want to know which countries you want to see most! Our next big adventure will PROBABLY be Vietnam. But after that, what places would you guys want to see? Leave a comment below!

On Laowhy86, I will be releasing a pretty personal video about giving birth in China,...

Taiwan's Brutal Nut is its most popular Drug

Hey Laowinners!

If you haven't seen the video, watch this first. The video above is behind the scenes for you guys!

Main Episode on Betel Nut - https://youtu.be/ncD3-TnBQmE

Of course, YouTube age restricted and demonetized the video, I appealed it, it's back, but now most people won't get notifications. I am really battling with YouTube these days, so thank you so much ...

Double 11 Day Means Weird Crap For ALL!

Hey Laowinners!

Yep, that is a braised pig foot pillow...

So, double 11 day (November 11th "11-11") is China's black Friday, which means my wife and I always peruse the Chinese ebay - Taobao, to find cheap stuff we need. You can get decent clothing and tech deals, but also a multitude of random crap. Here's some great stuff I found this time.

1. How's some live scorpions? Chinese medicine means these enter soup pots, particularly in Guangdong, where Vivi is from. Ta...

How Do We Upload if YouTube is blocked!

Hey Laowinners!

Here is your early release of ADVChina. In this episode, we tried a ton of different VPNs to see which one is still currently working in China, and we ended up finding a couple that worked well. However, the best one ended up being Nord VPN, which we reached out to, and they offered a sponsorship!

In other news, my latest video- https://youtu.be/vCyb3ukaCQo

Is Vietnam the New China?

Hey Laowinners!

With all of this talk about a mass exodus of people and companies leaving China, it makes you wonder, where are they headed?

Despite the two nations hating each other more than even Japan vs. China, they are certainly doing a lot of business with each other, with Vietnam turning its northern landscape into a manufacturing hub for both Chinese and western companies. 

When Vivi was working for TCL, she was even offered a lead position in Hanoi for the Chinese TV company.

Industry aside, what about expats...

Massive Update for EVERYONE!

Hey Laowinners!
 

Some structure updates. Winston and I have started a company! Welcome to ADV Media Inc.!
Don’t worry, nothing is changing content wise ;) Just adding more stuff! Especially for you guys!
 

We are structuring it so we can have a regular upload schedule and build in some new features.

First off, since YouTube fails to notify half of you awesome Patreons and subscribers when we upload, here is the schedule so you know for sure when a video goes up.<...

Censorship is crossing into the West

Hey Laowinners!

Ironically, since my wu mao video, ADVChina, Winston and I have all experienced much higher levels of wu mao attacks. Including us getting posts removed today. I have been getting alerts that people are trying to log into my accounts from strange IPs, and my Instagram posts (http://instagram.com/laowhy86) have been getting mass flagged by jumbled and random Chinese users. 

They started by spamming Chinese messages like, &nbs...

On Dating and Marriage in China

Hey Laowinners!

I've addressed multiple times that the younger generation has a multitude of differences when compared with the 40+ generation in China. The way society will run in the future without the lost generation in power will be very interesting, indeed. You see youngsters holding doors, interested in life beyond China, and taking up creative hobbies and talents that their parents generation would deem a waste of time.

However, one thi...

Be American, Buy American - Do Chinese do the same with Chinese products?

Hey Laowinners!

You've all heard the phrase, "Be American, buy American". 

Chinese people are certainly proud of their country, but are they proud enough to buy their own stuff? Well, the short answer is, not really. In this ADVChina off the bikes early release, Winston and I discuss this strangely hypocritical phenomenon, where Chinese people are super proud of their companies and products, but they simultaneously don't like to buy do...

The Issue with Lack of Charity

Hey Laowinners! 

Japan just ended its 40 year charity to China. 

(Article here: https://www.inkstonenews.com/politics/japan-stop-giving-aid-china-after-40-years/article/2170164

This raises two questions. With China and Japan being mortal enemies, why was Japan giving aid to China in the first place? And, why the hell is China one of the least charitable countries in the world?
