01:08:50Okay.
01:08:51Okay.
01:11:54How about your weaknesses?
01:11:55Oh, well, like I told you before, yeah, I used to drink alcohol.
01:12:04I used to drink alcohol every night, like vodka, like Alaskan ginseng bark that I wild foraged,
01:12:12but also high bush cranberries, put them in vodka, and they would taste so good, so I used to drink every night.
01:12:19But I didn't see that as my weakness because when I used to drink, okay, I would drink at night at home, then after that I would go to bed.
01:12:30I don't drink and drive, you know, I controlled my drinking, okay, but people around me would say that's my weakness because, including my parents, my former bosses, colleagues, they would say that was my weakness, but I didn't see it that way, okay?
01:12:48But even then, but even then, I don't drink alcohol anymore, like zero, okay? That was a month ago.
01:12:57Yeah, I started drinking because I started drinking because I'm 46, so my toe started to feel some numbness, toe numbness.
01:13:07I did some research. It's called peripheral neuropathy, okay?
01:13:11Yeah, so, yeah, like, drinking cause that, okay, I learned about that, so that's why I stopped drinking.
01:13:19So I've been sober since last month, yeah.
01:13:26I gradually decreased my drinking over a week, two weeks. After that, I just stopped drinking, okay, yeah.
01:13:34So, yeah, some sense of humor, demonstrate your sense of humor, okay, yeah, your honesty, okay, yeah, cheers.
01:13:53Okay, yeah.
01:13:57So those are the basics, okay, yeah, I mean, the interview tips, there's in the internet, okay, yeah, I just studied back then.
01:14:04There are some technical questions sometimes, depending on the job, okay, yeah, common interview questions, yeah, yeah, I'm 46, okay, so I'm experienced, so.
01:14:20Okay, now that's that, okay, yeah, so now let's talk about something else, okay, yeah.
01:14:25There's this, okay, Irish writer, Oscar Wilde, okay, he wrote this novel called,
01:14:39something like a picture of Dorian Gray, or painting of Dorian Gray, something like that, okay, interesting concept, okay, yeah.
01:14:53Like, like, Dorian Gray is a man, and then he had this, his portrait painted, and then he wished that he does not get old, but the painting, his portrait get old, and that happened, that happened in that fiction novel, okay?
01:15:19Yeah, yeah, yeah, and there are a lot of movies about it, TV shows about it, and then one of them, back in 1983, I think, is a TV movie, which means, like, low-budget movie, I think it's a Hollywood American production.
01:15:37The title of that movie, the title of that movie is, The Sins of Dorian Gray, in that movie, Dorian Gray is a lady, a fashion model, and also actress, okay?
01:15:52The full version is available in YouTube, hopefully, in YouTube, okay, so I started watching that after work, and then I think I'm going to finish watching it at some point, okay?
01:16:02Very interesting, very interesting, because at first, I was wondering, because I remember watching that movie, probably in South Korea, 1980s, okay?
01:16:11I remember that, okay, and so I was like, is it, like, part of TV show, like, because Rod Soling, he did, like, Twilight Zone, right?
01:16:25Yeah, and after that, he also did Night Gallery, okay, so at first, I thought maybe it's an episode in Night Gallery, but it wasn't, it was a standalone TV movie, The Sins of Dorian Gray, okay?
01:16:44And it took me a while to find that movie, okay, so, okay, interesting concept, yeah, cheers.
01:16:55Okay, now let's take five minutes, okay, and then we'll talk about those TV shows or movies, okay, sure?
01:17:09Five minutes, okay, thank you.
01:17:12Okay.
01:17:12Okay.
01:17:17Okay.
01:17:25Okay.
01:17:26Okay.
01:17:27Okay.
01:17:28Okay.
01:17:29Okay.
01:17:30Okay.
01:17:31Okay.
01:17:32Okay.
01:17:33Okay.
01:17:34Okay.
01:17:35Okay.
01:17:36Okay.
01:17:37Okay.
01:17:38Okay.
01:17:39Okay.
01:17:40Okay.
01:17:41Okay.
01:17:42Okay.
01:17:43Okay.
01:17:44Okay.
01:17:45Okay.
01:17:46Okay.
01:17:47Okay.
01:17:48Okay.
01:17:49Okay.
01:17:50Okay.
01:17:51Okay.
01:17:52Okay.
01:17:53Okay.
01:19:24read his Wikipedia biography and I learned that he's a US Army veteran, World War II veteran.
01:19:31He was in infantry, okay? He did see combat in the Pacific. There are like Philippines, okay?
01:19:41So, during World War II, okay? And then after World War II, he went back to college and then
01:19:48worked in a radio station and he was from like upstate New York, Binghampton. I've been to that town, okay?
01:19:56Yeah, and there's a nice bus station there, okay? Like basically to go from Ithaca, New York to
01:20:02Manhattan, New York, yeah, you change the bus in Binghampton, okay? Yeah, I've been to that town.
01:20:09Nice town, okay? Okay. So, yeah, that's where he's from and he
01:20:18worked in radio station, later in Hollywood, and he's a writer and producer, and yeah.
01:20:28He's a Jewish American, okay?
01:20:31So, but yeah, Twilight Zone series, a lot of like Einstein reference. Yeah, Einstein is like
01:20:41science fiction writer's favorite scientist, right?
01:20:44Right? Time deletion, all that stuff, equal mc squared, all that stuff, time travel, although
01:20:53there are wrong theories, okay? Yeah. Because I disproved them, okay? But
01:20:59good material for science fiction writers, okay? Yeah, sure.
01:21:06Okay, yeah.
01:21:09Yeah.
01:21:14Uh, but Mr. Wright Starling, uh, he smoked way too much, like, three packs of cigarettes a day,
01:21:21two, two, three packs, that's too much, okay? So, uh, he passed away at the age of 50,
01:21:28five, zero, okay? Something like that, okay? Uh, he smoked too much, and, uh, yes, uh, he didn't do
01:21:38exercise, okay? So, again, exercise is very important.
01:21:43Smoking cigarettes, I smoked cigarettes, but in moderation.
01:21:50Yeah.
01:21:56So, television in America, that's mostly like after World War II.
01:22:04World War II ended 1945. So, after
01:22:12Russell, Russell got out of U.S. Army after World War II, okay, uh, that's when the television
01:22:20start to become a mainstream media. Before that, radio, voice only, sound only, okay?
01:22:26Okay. So, it was very timely, okay, because, uh, Russ Solon, he, uh, he's one of the first people
01:22:38who saw that potential of television drama, okay? Yeah, so, the Twilight Zone, that's one of the first
01:22:49TV shows in America, the 1950s, 1960s, okay? He's a pioneer in the TV show. Okay? Yeah, he's one of the pioneers.
01:23:02Okay. Very cool. Okay. Well, that's what I have to say. So, and, uh, yeah, my dinner is ready.
