Send us a text

Have you ever faced the bittersweet moment of change, where the past's warmth meets the future's uncertain promise? That's exactly where we find ourselves on today's 'My Thai Wife' podcast. The banter and charm of Sunari and Lada have left an indelible mark, but as life's tapestry weaves new patterns, we're embracing the shift with gratitude and anticipation. I'm inviting you, our faithful listeners, to lend an ear to the personal reflections and future musings that this solo episode brings. And if the spark of co-hosting ignites your spirit, don't hesitate to reach out; let's create a fresh symphony of voices together.

Today's discussion transcends our usual Thai-focused narratives and delves into the raw, intricate emotion of disappointment—a sentiment that has shadowed the podcast's journey. The early days with Sunari, brimming with success and connection, set a high bar that I'm striving to meet as I step into the solo spotlight. It's a candid exploration of the ups and downs, the numbers game, and the essence of content that resonates. So tune in, as 'My Thai Wife' channels authenticity and embarks on its next chapter, with the hope of weaving new voices into the story that we all hold dear.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone and welcome to my Thai wife podcast.
I'm Mike and sadly I'm stilldoing this without my lovely,
lovely wife, sunari, and alsoI'm doing this without Lada, and
I thought you guys deserve someupdate or something, and

(00:27):
because actually I got a fewemails from you guys and some of
them really really touched me,one in particular by Mandy hey,
mandy.
So I want to tell you that meand Lada decided that we are not
going to do this podcasttogether anymore.
She has her own stuff that sheneeds to sort out right now, and

(00:57):
actually we did record a fewmore episodes, but I will not be
uploading them anytime soonbecause I think they are not
really relevant to what I'mgoing to do with the podcast
from now on.
So first of all, I want tothank everyone that listened to

(01:20):
us, that listen to us, and ifyou really really like lada, I'm
sure she will be pop upsomewhere soon.
Maybe I cannot tell you rightnow because I don't know all the
details, but for sure you willhear from her soon and if you
did like the the content wereproviding, we did really

(01:47):
appreciate that.
But from now on I think we aremoving.
I will be moving to somethingelse a little bit.
So, as I was saying, right nowI'm doing this podcast alone and
I was thinking about maybeposting online if there is

(02:10):
anyone that want to do that withme and we can share this
podcast or whatever.
Or I was thought about doingwhat I'm actually doing right
now, which is just talking aboutit and let it roll out and
figure out and see what willhappen with that.
So I'm not sure yet what I'mgoing to do.

(02:36):
I will say that if there isanyone that is interested into
joining as a co-host it doesn'tmatter if you are a man, lady, a
lady boy, whatever we can dothis podcast together.
I'm I know I'm much, muchbetter on on providing content,

(03:01):
contact content sorry when I'mdoing like, when I'm talking
with someone else and not justby myself, and so, as I said, if
anyone want to do that with me,just send me an email to

(03:23):
mytaiwifepod at gmailcom.
It's mytaiwifepod at gmailcomand we can see what we will do
from that.
Also, I want to thank uh patayadown under.
I still don't know if I will beable to do the collaboration we

(03:45):
talked about, because right nowI'm feeling that, as I said
before, I cannot provide youguys with a good content just by
myself, because I don't thinkI'm interesting enough for that.
You know, and I tried thatbefore and I've seen the numbers

(04:07):
and I know they're not not sogood and well, I think I will
use this, this, this particularepisode, as a test.
Actually, I want to see what isgoing on with the numbers when
I'm doing that alone.

(04:27):
So right now I want to talkwith you about something that is
not doesn't have anything to do, in my point of view, with
thailand or pataya, or I want totalk with you about
disappointment.

(04:47):
When I started this podcast withmy wife Sunari, I really
thought it's going to take offquickly and it did, actually, by
the numbers, I know that peopledid really like her and liked
the interaction between us and Ithought for me, I thought it
was actually pretty great, but,as I told you, she didn't want

(05:10):
to continue with that and Itotally respect that, and she
fully supported what I did withLada and she thought that it was
interesting and gave me somefew of her notes on what we
should do and stuff like that,and that's great.
And after, of course, I try toconvince her to come join me

(05:35):
again because I think there isnothing better than authentic
content Wow, I'm reallydifficult with that word, so but
I wasn't disappointed of her.
I I felt that even before theemails I got from you guys, I

(05:59):
felt that I'm actuallydisappointing myself, because
when I first let Lada come tothe podcast, I thought we were.
It will help me focus on thesubject that I did want to talk
about, which is Thailand,pattaya, mongering in general
and stuff like that.

(06:20):
But I'm an open person and theconversation, conversation
always drove us somewhere else,you know, and it is what it is,
as they say.
But I, I, I actually don't thinkwe, we, we made like a bad

(06:43):
content content, wow.
But I do think that it was very, very specific and he touched
on very specific subject whicharen't really relatable for the
majority of our listeners.
And you, you guys, did stick toit and you did kept on

(07:08):
listening and it was reallygreat and I know that inside you
just hope we will talk aboutthose subjects again and I know
I let you down, guys, and I hope, even if I still don't know
what I'm going to do with thispodcast right now, I hope you

(07:30):
guys are not disappointed withme too, something like that I
still not sure what I'm going todo, but if I will find, I will

(07:53):
quickly go back on doing what wedid before, like at least a
weekly episode.
And of course, I still kept allthe equipment that you guys
helped us with and I'm sorry,jonathan we, I know from your

(08:20):
email that it really hurt youthat you did help us to get a
new microphone and everythingfor her and it turned out that
we just used it like two timesand then we decided to stop
doing that and doing the podcasttogether.

(08:41):
I mean doing that and doing thepodcast together.
I mean, and I I I really don'tknow what to do.
So I think there like there areseveral options I can still
talk about, like what's going onin pataya right now, because I
still have all my connectionsthere's there and I still read a

(09:03):
lot online on what's going on,what is opening, what is closing
, like any interesting storiesthat coming out from there.
Yeah, I still get all that, butthen it will make me just like
a news podcast and I don'treally don't.
I don't really know if this issomething that you would like to

(09:23):
know, because there are like alot of information about what's
going on right now, at each andevery moment, in Pattaya, and
they are doing that, I think,much better than what I can do,
because I don't have a feet onthe ground right now.
And also right now I have somedifficult situation now to go to

(10:04):
Thailand and to do like, maybetry to locate someone to do that
with me or to find, like anygood ideas for that.
Well, it's really difficult forme to talk about that, because I
really hoped, like I was sure,that I can do the podcast and I

(10:33):
was sure that it's going to takeoff, and things sometimes just
don't work out as you want andthings sometimes just don't work
out as you want.
And you know, when I started,like, some of my closest people
thought that this is just awaste of time.

(10:54):
You know, just like why are youdoing that?
For what?
You're just wasting your moneyon the basic equipment that I
bought and, like that, no onewill listen to it.
And I know there are certainthings that I'm good at and

(11:20):
certain certain fuck certainthings that I'm not at and
certain Fuck Certain things thatI'm not good at.
And I know that I can be Anentertaining person, but I do
need a partner for that, andAlone, it's kind of difficult
for me Because I'm always stuckin my own thoughts, as I'm sure

(11:43):
many of you guys can relate to,and I don't really know what to
do.
Like you know, some people cando very good on their own on any
.
Anything like if it's aboutbusiness and about school and

(12:05):
about whatever they do, they cando alone.
But I'm not that type of guy.
I always work very well in duos, so like in teams.
You know, sorry, and because ofthat I'm feeling a bit down

(12:25):
that I cannot do that.
But one thing I promise youguys and again, this is going
for all of you that send me anemail and contact, contact
contacted me.
Sorry, uh, yeah, you, you dodeserve an update and I'm sorry

(12:50):
for not letting you know what'sgoing on.
I was actually embarrassed totell you that right now.
Like what can I say?
Oh, yeah, now I'm doing thatalone and I'm fucking bad at it,
and please keep on listening.
Come on, you know, in my eyesit was like I was devastated,

(13:12):
not because of lada and that shedecided to not continue doing
that, and I was devastatedbecause I know I'm not capable
of sorry one second, capable ofdoing it on my own at least I
think I'm not, and I know I'mrepeating myself, but that's a

(13:38):
really difficult subject for meto talk about.
That's a really difficultsubject for me to talk about and
, as I tell you, because of somepersonal stuff that I'm going
through right now no-transcriptand, to be honest, I just miss

(14:07):
pataya, like when you're there,you know it's giving, it's
always like refilling thebatteries and give you, giving
me at, really fun to be in andnot stuck in wherever you are in

(14:34):
your life, like, yeah, I cannotafford to move there right now,
but it doesn't mean that wewon't do that in the future.
Me, me and Sunari, notespecially to Pattaya, but still
Not so far away from there.
I will see what will happenwith that.

(14:56):
I am missing there.
I really miss my friends overthere you know who you are and
and I'm missing the generalenvironment.

(15:16):
As you know, right now in my owncountry everything is very
weird, you know, because fromone side, yeah, all the war that
is going on and people on bothsides that die every day I'm not
not talking about thatterrorist group that I don't

(15:43):
want even to name, but I'mtalking about innocent people
that dies every day and it'smaking me sad and I really hope
it would stop.
But as long as I remembermyself, like I was born in the
first in the I think in the sameyear of the first Indy Fada, so

(16:04):
I know about that a little bit.
And, yeah, and when stuff likethat happen, you just wish you
were somewhere else and rightnow I cannot.

(16:26):
So anyway, guys, I feel likeI'm just mumbling around, so I
will just stop now.
I will try to give you anupdate as soon as I know what's
going on.
I hope it will be sooner thanlater.

(16:46):
As soon as I know what's goingon, I hope it will be sooner
than later.

should I do From now on?
