Run BTS!: Episode 132

[When you shower, do you brush your teeth first or wash your face first?]

Jimin: "I think a lot of people would agree that if you brush your teeth in the middle of showering, you get foam on your face again."

Hobi: "Right."

Jimin: "It stings."

Hobi: "Right."

Jimin: "It's a mess."

Jungkook: "Who spits out the foam onto their body like that?" *points at Jimin* "You do that, don't you?!"

Jimin: "... Yeah, that's right! I do that! Everyone, brush your teeth first!"

Yoongi: "When you wake up, you have a lot of bacteria in your mouth. Because it's a huge number, they tell you to brush your teeth as soon as you get up, before drinking water. When you go to work or school, what would people say if you don't wash up?"

[Members contemplating]

Yoongi: "They say you smell like poop!"

Namjoon: "Ah, how can you say 'poop'?"

Yoongi: "You're ignoring the facts and using false information-"

Jimin: "You're offending people!"

Yoongi: "-to cause confusion!"

Namjoon: "You should wash your face while taking a shower, then you can brush your teeth-"

Yoongi: "FORGET THE SKIN!"

 

[Do you eat the kelp in your ramyeon or not?]

Jimin: "Everyone, what is usually the purpose of kelp in other food?"

Yoongi: "For broth!"

Jimin: "You boil the broth, then remove the kelp and add noodles! You don't eat kelp, and ramyeon is no different. Don't eat kelp! Thank you."

Tae: "Why was kelp born?"

Yoongi: "Kelp never asked to be born!"

Hobi: "So, why was kelp born?"

Tae: "Honestly, I don't know." *starts fake crying* "I DON'T KNOW! I REALLY DON'T!"

 

[Do you eat the rice grains in your sikhye or not?]

Jin: "Don't you eat the rice in gukbap?"

Yoongi: "I don't!"

Jin: "You only eat the soup, then?"

Yoongi: "It's been a while since I quit eating carbs."

Tae: "I've seen you eat carbs!"

Yoongi: "... That's right. It's delicious." 

Namjoon: "If the rice grains were meant to be eaten, it would've been called 'rice.' But we call them 'rice grains.'"

Yoongi: "That's true."

Namjoon: "Rice grains deserve to be grains. As people have human rights, they have grain rights! The rice grains have already done their part by being squeezed for the liquid of the sikhye!"

Namjoon: "One of the most common medical conditions in modern society is obesity. Sikhye contains a lot of sugar."

Yoongi: "It increases your chances for obesity!"

Namjoon: "Also, we're Korean idol singers, aren't we? We always manage our diet strictly. If we eat the rice grains in sikhye-"

Yoongi: "You don't watch what you eat!"

Namjoon: "... I'll start tomorrow. Anyway... rice grains are bad!"

[Raisins in bread: Yes vs. no]

Yoongi: "J-Hope cannot eat raisins, ever."

Hobi, who was put in Team Raisins: "I absolutely hate raisins. I can't stand them."

Tae, quietly: "I like them..."

Jin: "Why would you eat raisins in bread?"

Hobi: "That's right!"

Jin: "I can't understand why anyone would have raisins in bread. Adding raisins to bread is known to be the food of the devil in other countries, too. That's how much raisins don't belong in bread."

Hobi: "That's precisely right!"

Jin: "I don't know why raisins were born into this world."

Tae: "You're not even experts! Why would anyone have added raisins in bread in the first place? Because many people found it delicious!"

Namjoon: "Hold on. Let me add something else. When people call something 'the food of the devil' in foreign countries, they say that because the food is so good that even devils would love it."

Jungkook: "That's right! I've seen that on the news."

Jimin: "So many people around the world eat baked goods. In particular, bread is one of the most common kind of baked goods. But why! Why would anyone unnecessarily stuff bread with raisins?! You have to have a soft bite every time you bite into it! But no! Don't do that!"

Hobi: "I personally love chocolate in bread. I love it. I also love chestnuts in bread."

Jimin: "What don't you like?"

Hobi: "I like them all. But I cannot allow raisins in bread."

Namjoon: "Why not?"

Hobi: "When I eat bread, I want to enjoy the fluffy bread and its savoury flavours, but the sweetness of raisins sickens me."

Yoongi: "But raisins can be savoury, too."

Jungkook: "Raisins are delicious."

Hobi: "Why don't you just eat plain bread and grapes, then?"

Tae: "Don't you know the saying? 'Those who understand the beauty of raisins are those who truly know how to enjoy bread.'"

Namjoon: "That's precisely right."

Jungkook: "That is a famous saying, indeed."

Tae: "This is a famous saying from Socrathes."

Jimin: "'Socrathes'? What did you say?"

Tae: "Yes, a philosopher who's a follower of Socrates."

Namjoon: "Right, Socrathes."

Tae: "Yes, it's a famous saying by Socrathes. Raisins are added to bread in order to fill the missing voids. The 2% that it was lacking."

Jimin: "Nobody has ever said that raisins are the missing piece in bread. Bread is perfect on its own, so who has any right to say that it lacks anything?"

Yoongi: "With that logic, milk bread shouldn't exist and you should only eat plain bread."

Hobi: "Aren't you the host?"

Yoongi: "Um, I'm just asking because I'm curious."

I am 100% in the Brush Teeth First and No Raisins in Bread teams. Didn't even realize I felt so strongly about these subjects...
