2. Smells great but what kind of oil does he use? Corn/Veg/Olive/Whale?

4. Soybean oil, vegetable oil or peanut oil..

Chinese cooks normally use soybean oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil, all of which have a high smoke point. Peanut oil usually has a pleasant nutty flavor and is suitable not only for stir-frying but also for deep-frying. Canola oil, which has a high smoke point but a neutral flavor, is also a good choice.

8. when did peas and carrots become popular?

I continue to rant against them, but I fear I have lost that battle.

Restaurants here in this area, do not add them to the mix. Maybe its a Filipino thing..

12. I remembered them NOT being there when we lived in the Bay Area (long ago)

they are always in there unless I order it special to be left out. I think it is a (lame) USA thing. I can eat them but never put them in when I make fried rice. Do you know what was going on with the way his rice was wrapped in paper? I have never seen that before.

13. The best fried rice, from great ethnic restaurants always

Is brown. Have never figured that out because I assume it's soy sauce and that would make it too salty. This pic doesn't look very brown do you know what it is that does that and makes it taste so good?
