Dave is turning 50, and a midlife crisis is just around the corner. He makes budae-jjigae for Chris Ying and two guests who have undergone some major life changes...and maybe not only when they hit midlife. The four discuss times in life when you have to make a change, why it should maybe be called 'clarity' and not 'crisis', and even discuss getting a motorcycle license - but not getting a motorcycle.

1:04

Welcome to the Dave Cheng Show. I am here with Chris Kefirying, young producer David, and we're going to be doing a MOIF. I'm going to be talking about a little bit about turning 50 and the midlife crisis. It's probably like my fifth, quote unquote, midlife crisis.

1:20

And we're going to be talking about that with our two dining guests that we'll introduce in a little bit. And I'm making boudéjigé, something that came out fantastic today. So again, I'm turning 50 soon.

1:35

It's about time for me to figure out what I want to do in my life. That's literally where I'm at right now. Like, what do I want to do? And it's been a long time coming for people that turn 50.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (83 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
