Cheat day

Dipping and eating

“Do you like Mom?” Do you like Dad? Are you a “bubok”? Dipping or not? We are just getting a taste of the most intense debate in the 5,000-year history of the Korean Peninsula. “Side dish for the baekban debate.”

“This is Baek Woo-jin.”

Thursday.

It’s the day with the highest number of viewers.

On average, it usually records around 2,000 to 3,000 viewers, but on days when the talk show is held, the average number of viewers reaches 10,000.

Even now, it’s only been 10 minutes since the broadcast started, and over 4,000 people are already connected.

Honestly, there’s no one more filial than him.

Today’s topic is squid vs. octopus. For the professionalism of the discussion, today, the squid has personally visited us. Hello, Mr. Squid.

I bowed my head and greeted Baek Woo-jin, who was sitting right next to me.

“Am I an octopus?”

“Yes.”

“Why am I an idiot?”

“Uh, why are you getting angry?” “Isn’t it because you like squid that you are siding with the squid?”

Baek Woo-jin just opened his eyes wide and kept his mouth shut.

└Starting with a loan request, lol.

Ah, squid is so good! Why aren’t you saying anything?

└LOL so crazy LOL

└Isn’t the debate over?

“That’s right.”

Baek Woo-jin, having checked the public opinion in the chat room, nodded vigorously.

“Is that right?”

“Yes.”

“So, you are admitting that you are a squid?”

“Yes.”

Please make sure to tell me. Do you admit to being a squid?

“…….”

“So you really think squid isn’t that great deep down?”

“Isn’t it?”

“Then please speak frankly.” It’s an octopus.

Baek Woo-jin glared at me, then looked at the camera and sighed.

Hello. It’s squid.

“Heheh.”

Suddenly bursting into laughter and unable to continue speaking, Baek Woo-jin glared at me and then opened his mouth.

“What’s wrong with squid?” In fact, there are many people who like squid even without me mentioning it. Please show me the materials.

Baek Woo-jin showed the photo materials he brought to the viewers.

It’s a “Koreans’ Favorite Fried Foods” list produced by Panel Now, and the top spot goes to squid tempura.

Among the participants in the survey, 24.7% chose fried squid, 19.1% chose fried shrimp, and 17% chose fried sweet potatoes.

“As you can see, fried squid is overwhelmingly in first place.” Should I explain more here?

Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders.

“No.” This survey has a major flaw.

“What is it?”

“Are you saying that fried octopus was on the shortlist?” In fact, octopus is such a premium ingredient that it is not easily accessible. Especially since it’s usually eaten as sashimi or in a salad, it’s not very convincing to claim that fried squid is tastier.

Baek Woo-jin blinked.

“Why?”

“I was surprised to hear you speaking normally.” Where does it hurt?

└For real, lol

└It’s kind of weird when you think about it logically, haha.

└He’s not that kind of person, lol.

“When have I ever said anything strange?”

Baek Woo-jin and the viewers’ reactions are not good.

I quickly resolved the issue before they could catch me in my words.

“As I just mentioned, octopus is a premium ingredient.” You have to pay several tens of thousands of won for one. But what about squid? It’s a few thousand won per piece.

“Ah.”

It seems you’ve caught on, but it’s already too late.

“In the capital market, expensive naturally means better.” You wouldn’t deny it again this time, would you?

└Again, lololololol

└You always try to pass everything off to the north, lol.

└You can’t deny this, lol.

“……The price does not determine the taste.”

Baek Woo-jin took a brief pause before starting his rebuttal.

If you tell the story like this, I would be flustered, but you seem quite composed, perhaps due to your accumulated experiences.

There are several factors that determine the price. There are also factors like scarcity or environmental conditions. You can’t necessarily say it’s more expensive just because it’s tastier.

“Then what’s the reason for paying so much money to eat something that’s not even that delicious?”

“That’s because people who like octopus have no taste.”

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter because it was so ridiculous.

└No way, lol.

Am I a taste idiot?

└Why is Baek Woo-jin so shameless?

└To speak so shamelessly like that is just absurd.

└I guess I naturally picked it up since I kept getting hit by the side dishes, lol.

“Annihilate.” You say I’m a taste amateur?

“Yes. The side dish committee is especially so.

It seems like you have something prepared to say.

I nodded, thinking I would listen.

“Squid is actually a really good food for people on a diet and for diabetes patients.” It’s rich in protein and also contains a lot of taurine, which helps with fatigue recovery. The glycemic index is also low. Above all, it’s much tastier than chicken breast.

“Really?”

It was such a tempting remark that I asked again.

I’ve eaten so much squid that I’m sick of it, but it’s a thousand times, ten thousand times better than chicken breast.

“Because you don’t know that it’s both delicious and healthy, they call you a taste illiterate.”

└Okay

└I feel betrayed, like I’m just a side dish. How can you not know how good squid is with that body?

└For real, even if you say it’s delicious every time during mukbangs, I believed it based on your body shape.

└I was a food novice.

“And do you happen to know the IMF?”

“Of course, I know.” I was too young back then, so I don’t really remember well.

“The original meaning is the International Monetary Fund, but in our country, it also refers to the foreign exchange crisis that occurred in the Asian region starting in 1997.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“Until just before the foreign exchange crisis, our country’s companies recklessly borrowed money and over-invested.” We call this octopus management.

“Ah.”

“Octopus leg.” Octopus, “How can you support someone so shamelessly who has hurt so many people?”

└Crazy octopus legs, lol.

└Dying for side dishes

My father was also unemployed at that time.

└Are you defending octopus-style management right now?

I didn’t know it was for side dishes, but that’s really cruel.

└Hahaha, always causing trouble whenever there’s a chance, haha.

Flustered and unable to continue speaking, Baek Woo-jin attacked once more.

“The family is falling apart.” The company is collapsing. The IMF crisis that caused the collapse of the nation. Do you know where the origin of the word “collapse” comes from?

“Surely not.”

“That’s right.” Collapse. It is opened. Octopus, It’s all because of the octopus!

└F*ck

└Moon is a genius

└Today, Baek Woo-jin went crazy, lol.

What on earth is this noise? LOL

└와. I just found out. So that’s the origin of “the octopus collapses.”

It’s the verb form.

“You.”

“Do you still support the octopus after this?”

No. Why did you get so messed up? It wasn’t like this originally. “This is my way, isn’t it?”

This dirty slander, extortion, and threats are my way.

Even when I was in the squid’s position, I thought I should talk like this.

It’s so identical that it gives me chills.

“It’s because of you, hyung.”

Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth with a determined expression.

“You made me like this.”

“…….”

“Lastly, I will conclude today’s discussion.”

Baek Woo-jin displayed an anatomical diagram of a squid on the screen.

“Many of you might not know this, but surprisingly, squids have three hearts.”

“What’s going on all of a sudden?”

“Just a moment here.” Everyone, the top professional football league in England, UK. “Would you believe that there is a South Korean player who has played for a whopping 7 years at Manchester United, the top club in the EPL?”

Baek Woo-jin’s voice became stronger.

“Do you remember the person who scored that fantastic goal against Portugal in the 2002 World Cup?”

Baek Woo-jin swallowed his saliva as he looked at the chat window filled with “Hae-beo-ji.”

“That’s right.” Park Ji-sung. Because he joined Manchester United, overseas football broadcasts have become more active in South Korea. The father of overseas football. Father. He had another nickname during his playing days.

Baek Woo-jin looked at me and said.

“Two hearts.”

“…….”

“Because he ran as if he had two hearts, it was a nickname to praise his incredible activity level and stamina.” “The more hearts there are, the better it is.”

As I quietly listen, it feels strange.

“Does it mean that squid are exceptional because they have three hearts?”

“That’s right.”

“So, you’re saying that Park Ji-sung, who only has two, is worse than an octopus?” What, do you want to say something like that?

Baek Woo-jin’s eyes widened in surprise.

No. That’s not it.

It got caught.

What you’re saying is just not right! Right now, you’re saying that Park Ji-sung, who elevated the status of Korean football, is worse than an octopus!

“No!”

“Wow.” I’m really not. Everyone, I don’t know this person. All this time, it has been a contractual relationship. Right. It was a contractual relationship. I’m not at all related to what this person is saying, so I’ll step out of here. Just blame Mr. Baek Woo-jin. I really am, sir. I respect you, Park Ji-sung.

“Are you crazy?” When did I ever!

“Huh? Huh? Why are you touching me? “Don’t touch it.”

Baek Woo-jin stood up from his chair and bowed respectfully.

“Everyone, I really never thought like that.”

└hahahahahahahahahah

└Explain yourself! Explain yourself!

└You’re being a bit much.

└Well, messing with Dad really crossed the line.

I didn’t see Baek Woo-jin that way.

└You guys, stop playing around, haha, I’m going to cry, haha.

“I was wrong.” There was a misunderstanding, but I really didn’t. As a squid, I must say that squids are inferior to humans. “Seriously, no.”

“Hee hee hee hee hee.”

Everyone knows.

Baek Woo-jin used his usual unreasonable arguments, and no one is unaware that I am being falsely accused again.

The viewers are just playing along with me to tease Baek Woo-jin, but it really makes the atmosphere enjoyable when someone like this comes out to play along.

Thanks to Baek Woo-jin not frowning or ignoring and reacting so exaggeratedly, everyone can laugh.

What an amazing guy.

“Since the squid is saying it themselves, it sounds convincing.”

I thought it was time to stop, so I wrapped things up, and Baek Woo-jin glared at me as if he wanted to kill me before sitting down.

He’s a guy who’s fun to tease.

“But do you know?”

“What?”

“Octopuses also have three hearts.”

“……Ugh, seriously.”

Baek Woo-jin grabbed me by the collar and shook me.

At first, they were so sharp that I got a bit nervous, but it seems they didn’t prepare much for the debate.

So that’s why I came on strong from the beginning.

I was already busy, but with ‘Baekban Follow’ starting, I think I ran out of time.

“Anyway, let’s keep going.”

Baek Woo-jin hisses and glares at me.

“So far, you’ve made quite a decent argument, but the fact that octopus is tastier than squid is a fact.”

“How does he know that?”

“Of course, there’s evidence.” Commissioner Baek Woo-jin, have you ever ordered octopus as a side dish at a bar?

“No.”

Anuncios

There are only a few among the viewers.

“Since octopus is so expensive, bars usually use Humboldt squid instead.” It’s commonly called giant squid, but its legs are similar to those of an octopus, so it’s used as a substitute.

Still grinning.

He smiled broadly and continued speaking.

So, in other words, squid is a substitute for octopus. It’s a downgrade. This is what I mean.

└But honestly, it’s true, haha.

Wait, you mean what I was eating wasn’t octopus but squid?

└Is it real?

Octopus is more expensive, so we use the cheaper one. This time, the octopus really won.

└The logic for today’s side dishes is solid, huh?

“Moreover, there is the most important fact.”

I slowly started the engine to drive the nail in.

Baek Woo-jin, pouting and sulking, is sitting there, and now that I know he couldn’t prepare thoroughly for today’s debate because he was busy, I plan to thoroughly crush him.

I showed the viewers a photo of an octopus.

The fact that the third leg on the right side of an octopus is its reproductive organ. Do you know?

Baek Woo-jin frowned.

Even in the chat window, the question marks keep appearing repeatedly.

The octopus’s legs are curled at the ends, but the legs with reproductive organs are straightened out. In other words, it means that an octopus’s penis is as long as its legs.

“……What is that?”

“Aren’t you envious?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s big.”

“No!” So what the hell does that even mean?

└LOL so crazy LOL

└I’m a bit jealous.

I’ve never seen an octopus’s reproductive organs in my life.

└What does it matter? LOL

Honestly, I’m a bit envious.

Moreover, octopuses use this robust reproductive organ in a very gentlemanly and romantic manner. With this reproductive organ, they detach the sperm pouch and give it to the female octopus.

It sounds like there’s a scream coming from the chat window. It seems to be in pain at the mention of removing the testicles.

“If the female likes the male, she stores the sperm pouch and directly fertilizes the eggs before laying them.” It’s a beautiful process that we both agreed upon.

“What is that?”

“But squid is different.” Some male squids cut open the female’s body and inject their sperm into the wound. Isn’t it really barbaric?

“……No, that’s literally just a part.” It’s not that all squids do that.

“Are you perhaps endorsing such ruthless and violent acts?”

└Baek Woo-jin is trash.

How can you defend something like that?

└That’s not how you do it.

└Woojin, you’re making a lot of mistakes today.

Just stay still.

“Moreover, octopuses only have eight legs.”

“What the heck is that!” How could you! There are 10 squid!

“No.” It has 8 legs and 2 of them are tentacles. Octopuses don’t have those perverted elements, right?

“What?”

“Are you seriously defending tentacles?” You are confessing that you have such abnormal sexual desires.

Baek Woo-jin covered my mouth.

“What’s wrong with you today?” “Really!”
