Would you Never pay Rent again or Never pay for Food again? | Y THIS OR THAT
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features hosts Mark Mavave and Phoebe engaging in a lively "This or That" game, where they must choose between two contrasting options across various life scenarios. The segment begins with a heartwarming birthday dedication to a woman named Ji, featuring a poetic message from her boyfriend that emphasizes deep emotional connection over material wealth. Following this introduction, the hosts dive into financial dilemmas, such as choosing between a lump sum of 500k today or 50k every month for two years, and deciding whether to be rich but unknown or famous but broke. Both participants consistently prioritize immediate cash and passion-driven work over long-term stability in jobs they dislike, highlighting the importance of financial security and personal fulfillment.
The discussion then shifts to lifestyle preferences, including owning a house in a peaceful village versus living in a chaotic city apartment, where both hosts lean toward urban life for its opportunities. They also weigh unlimited money for travel against shopping, ultimately choosing travel as it offers broader experiences. Another significant choice involves financial freedom at age 40 versus fame at 25; while initially hesitant about the age constraint, they eventually favor early fame due to the potential for networking and influence. In a humorous twist regarding food, Phoebe opts to never pay for rent again, citing her frequent fasting habits, while Mark expresses a strong preference for chapati and beef stew over other dishes.
Relationship dynamics form another core theme, with the hosts debating whether to date someone who loves them more or someone they love more, ultimately choosing to be loved to avoid emotional exhaustion. They also consider perfect chemistry versus perfect communication, concluding that both are essential but acknowledging that chemistry often takes precedence if communication can be improved. When asked about dating history, they prefer not to know a partner's past unless the person is willing to share it voluntarily, emphasizing trust and healing. Additionally, they choose average-looking but hilarious partners over extremely attractive but boring ones, valuing humor and compatibility over physical appearance alone.
In the final segment, the hosts tackle questions about having power without Wi-Fi versus constant blackouts with Wi-Fi, choosing reliable electricity for modern convenience. They also reflect on whether to have one soulmate for life or several great loves throughout their lives, with Phoebe advocating for multiple meaningful relationships while Mark expresses caution about the healthiness of spreading one's heart too thin. The episode concludes with a brief mention of Kenyan cultural preferences, such as enjoying biryani every weekend versus protein options, and a desire to experience coastal nightlife. Throughout the video, the hosts maintain a candid and humorous tone, offering insights into their values while encouraging viewers to follow them on social media for more content.

But yes, I have a poem for someone. So

Yes. And I hate I hate reading um the
wrong words the wrong way. So, let me
just say there's a special uh dedication
to someone special from someone special
for a birthday. Okay. Uh today is the

loves her very much has sent her a wish.
Okay. So, I'm going to read exactly as

this. It's for you on your special day.
And the message goes okay. I love you
with all I am and all I'll ever be. The
person of my dream, my son, my sky,
my sea. I need you as the valley loves
the river through its fields.
Or as a note upon a page, the music that
it yields.
Romance must have a language fit for
feelings deep and high. For love like
ours, there cannot be a floor or ceiling
sky. You are as much a part of me as
middles are of earth or as a song is of
a heart replenishing its worth.
So on your birthday
no my heart has given all its room to
love that makes time to love that makes
time disappear and chasing away gloom. I
cannot imagine life without your gentle
shining grace. My love goes down too
deep to fit standards of time or space.
Hey
>> Jisha,
>> I love you as a hook loves air. A sailor
loves the sea.
And on this day, I light my love with
heartfelt poetry. With every ear that
comes our way, intertwined in bliss, my
soul remains forever, yours, sealed with
a kiss. I am truly blessed to have you,
Gyre. Yes, that is your wish from your
loving boyfriend. Enjoy your day, Phoei.

have today are amazing. You're going to
love it. That I can promise you. Yes.
So, we are doing uh this or that. This
is where I give Mark and Phoebe an
opportunity to choose one uh aspect or
one thing that they would rather have
except or apart from the other. Okay.
And we dive in straight. First question
is
500k today at
50k
every month for two years. Which do you
go with fib?
>> As for me, bring that 500k now.

once
within a month.

boundaries.
>> So yeah for me 50. Okay,
>> great.
many projects I have when you pay 500k.
>> Thank you.
>> Yeah.
>> Um number two, between a high paying job
that you hate
>> or a lowpaying job that you love.
>> First thing first,
so
please please give me the high paying
job, but I don't like it. Yeah.
Hey. Okay.
Okay.
>> It's not that serious.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> So,

>> Money is important,
>> right? Um, be rich but unknown or famous
but broke.
>> Wait, you haven't you haven't question
please. No me
I am asking question.
>> Um I would go for what I love because
what you love
>> because um I've tried doing things that

just anything but I would that one
person that would really like one I am
enjoying what I'm doing right now so
this is what I love but this is not see

saying is um

and the love for it pesa is important I
need the money, but I would do my all
when I'm doing what I love.
>> Yes, I would give it my all, but when
it's driven by money, money is never
enough. So at some point
I'd feel like I'm not driven.
Yeah. It's very difficult. So for me I'd
go for what I love. Yes. And now the
question that I asked next was be rich
but unknown.
very famous.
Well, to me, let me just be rich and
unknown.
So, I'll I'll literally let me just be
rich and you guys don't know me.
You get me? Yeah.
>> Okay, Mark.

I want to be rich.
>> I want to be famous.
>> I want to have lots of lots of money.
>> Yes. Please don't make me choose. Okay,
I want to be rich and I want to be
famous.
Now, the next question is, own a
beautiful house in the village or a
small apartment in Nairobi.
>> This one you're not even supposed to
talk about it in the village all the
time.
>> Wow.
>> In the village. The way Nairobi it's so
chaotic and I just want my peace
>> in the village.
I think get used to the town life

>> I also feel like growing up from
me. I don't want to get that
again.
It's peaceful. By the way,
you'll have to work.
>> I am working and I love what I'm doing.
>> Okay.
>> My friend is a farmer and she loves it.
Mimi,
>> you can you can do that. It's not.
>> But if we are going to farm,
>> uh we we would do it right now with
money.
But I think it is traumatizing.
We would love to go back.
you guys. Hey, that is a it's not like I
know how to do all those things, but
please,
but I don't want to do that. So,
definitely when you're in the village,
that's what you're going to do.
Exactly. So I feel like for me me and
you
are
>> so many. Yes.
It's not a
true but in regards to what I want to do
be here. Yeah,
>> it's going to be easy for me cuz there

>> Oh my god. I me the fame thing.
So, financial freedom at 14. Okay,
>> I'll go for the fame.
>> I'll use it wisely.
>> Could you promote?
>> Okay. I also think I'll go for the film.
Not because of the film, because of the
age. 25. 25.
>> I'm not sure if I'm going to be at 40.
Stupid. There's not
Okay.
>> Yeah. So, I feel like um cuz now you're
not limited to what you can use this
thing for.
>> Yeah.
>> You can make the money. You can make the
connections, the relationships with
people. So, yes. Mimogan
came at 25,
>> right?
>> Have a six figure salary
>> or a six figure side hustle.
That's tough.
>> Wow. side.
You have like the main job
salary or a six figure side hustle?
Yeah.
>> Uh yeah, I love money. Let me get the
six figure side hustle also. And then
then
>> So it doesn't matter how how much you're
being paid for your job.
>> Yeah.
>> So as long as
six figures
I I don't know.
Uh
Mark comes out with you before I think
think about it.
>> You never know. Yeah, it's
>> unfort
for a whole six months.
So you see that's the problem.
So it'sing yourself.
>> And you see that's why I I I said at
first that let me do what I love because
no matter how much money you're giving
me at times these people really
>> like put pressure on you. And now when
you've been pressured to do something
you don't love, you see you're not
enjoying it. So yeah, right.
>> Uh based on his explanation, I'll have
to stick to my answer.
>> Okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Six figure side hustle my thinking.
>> Yeah. All right. I think um I would also
go for that.
Not easy.
I can work from home.
>> Yeah. And Yes. And I'm getting the
money, so I go for that. All right. Now,
we jump to love and relationship.
Now, date someone who loves you more or
someone you love more,
>> I've dated someone
ID
that oh my god left right and center
dust everywhere. So let me let me for
now let me now look for someone who
loves you
>> loves you. Yeah.
>> All right.
>> So
it's not the same
boys take advantage. True. M.
>> So
you don't have to do anything. Yeah. So
for me I I'll prefer chasing someone
chasing. And in regards to that, what
about the lady that approaches you?
You know, I don't sleep now.
So like for me try
>> but once you obsessed
>> okay but I don't think this is going to
work
>> other than
you just cheat
Okay.
Well, now for me, I would go with you,
Fibbe. Um, just go for the man that
loves you because I will, it's very easy
for me to control my heart and tell my
heart to love someone.
>> Yeah.
>> But it's very difficult for me to tell
to make someone love me. So if I come
and I see that you do not love me as
much as I love you, then I just walk
away because um it's I'm going to
convince myself to love you when I see
that you love me enough.
>> Yeah, Dr. Love is speaking.
>> Yeah, clock it.
>> Another question is perfect chemistry
but terrible communication or perfect
communication but terrible chemistry.
>> Pardon? Perfect chemistry but terrible
communication or perfect communication
but no chemistry.
>> We'll work on communication
let let us have chemistry plus I think
like chemistry the communication
too. So perfect chemistry. Okay. Mark
>> also go for the chemistry. As long as
>> Yeah.
>> Perfect chemistry. Ah, perfect
communication.
Okay. Sorry guys. Um, okay.
>> So, it makes sense.
>> Yeah.
All right.
I was to choose communication. That's
why I'm laughing.
and the example that he's making because
yeah it makes a lot of sense that you
need to vibe with someone but at times
people are just difficult they don't
want to work on their communication and
for me communication is very because
good morning
so
>> yes so that's how much communication
means to me I'm texting you or maybe
And you know for women we want to know
what am I going to dress what am I going
to like we need to prepare beforehand.
So you don't expect
I'm coming to pick you up
>> and go where
>> and do what you know cuz I I didn't even
prepare at all. So all that falls under
communication. So in as much as
they are all important like you're
saying you need chemistry with someone
cuz it's someone you don't you can't
laugh to their jokes
>> make crack joke the best that he can
ever
so chemistry is as important as
communication is producer
No, it's not at gunpoint. We want both.
Both have to be there. Yes. So, let's go
to uh know your partner's full dating
history or never ask about it.
>> Never ask about it.
Let bygon.
>> Yeah. So, never ask about it. But at
some point you can, but not that much.
What if she the man is
1990 before
>> maybe I'm a change?
>> Wow.
>> Okay.
>> But but
I prefer me I prefer
Yeah. You here now.
Yeah.
I'd rather
not know.
Yeah. Yeah. True.
So rather not. Plus also to add on that
you both you have like good chemistry
like you're vibing and then when you get
to know about the person's past
>> yeah so you end something that was
really nice so
>> just because you brought up the past.
>> True. Yeah. All right, Mimi. I think if
you want to talk about it, Sour, I I'm
okay because at times people are hurt
and they are they have traumas that
maybe they've not healed from and maybe
they they are still carrying the
traumas. So, come you're okay with
opening up and speaking to me about your
past. Mimi, I'm very okay. I'm going to
listen to you. One, I'll never judge you
for what you've done because I have done
worse. So, yeah. Um, I wouldn't judge
anyone for what they've done, but I
wouldn't force you again to talk to me
about your past. If you're okay talking
about it, go ahead and talk about it. If
you want to bury it, watch.
Yeah. So, it's all on you. I am in for
if you want to talk about it or if you
don't want to talk about it.
>> Now, date someone extremely attractive
but boring or average looking but
hilarious.
I love laughing, but but please hear me
on this one. I'll I'll I'll I'll be the
hilarious person. Let me just have you
fine thing. Come over here. Yeah.
>> All right.
>> Yeah,
>> Mark.
>> I prefer having the average looking.
>> Mhm. But
it's okay. Oh my god.
I'd rather have the hilarious one.
Mhm.
So, I'd rather have the hilarious one
at some point.
>> Mimi, I would go for I I am first
attracted to how someone looks.
>> So, it is very difficult for you to
attract my attention if you're not
good-looking. Like I might never even
notice you.
>> That is my problem. I might never even
know you're there for a whole year and
I've never like so
>> at least
but the average one would work if you're
hilarious cuz me I'm a very serious
person by the way. It's because we
vibing. But I am out there people would
>> really take me as that serious person.
So I don't want a man that is also being
taken as that serious man.
relationships.
So, yeah, I feel like the average one,
as long as he's hilarious, we're good.
>> You're good with it.
>> Okay.
>> Yep. Cuz me, I know I'm pretty, so we're
going to use my little
>> Yeah. So, let's go with um
where is it? One soulmate for life or
>> surely what? Anyway, let me just read it
out. One soulmate for life or several
great loves throughout your life.
>> Just give me the one one soul. What are
we even talking about here?
>> What are we even talking about here?
>> I'll be good with that one.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. Mark, hear me out.
Okay.
>> Maybe something happens, you guys break
up, you find another one that you're so
much in love
forever.
>> Mhm.
>> Not an advocate for monogamy.
Okay.
All right.
>> It's the whole point. The pastor that
was talking to us about marriage, he
needs advice more than us.
>> He needs more advice.
>> Hey,
>> still
I prefer having
>> several.
>> Several.
>> Okay. Good for But as long as
>> Yeah. Like ina another one comes in
until you're old.
>> It's not healthy by the way.
>> Giving your heart to all those people.
>> Yeah. It's not healthy by the way having
that one person that understands you
like.
This is how I like this.
It's not healthy.
>> Anyways, he has decided it's your
choice.
>> It's all right.
>> All right. Have a partner who is very
romantic or financially responsible.
>> Financially responsible.
Oh my god. Why are you guys confusing
me? Why Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
It's your question.
