    Don’t Settle, Mena Said | Am I Normal

    After the deep dive we took in the prequel Faith Over Football, we’re back at the table with one of our top 3 favourite guests — Mena — to talk about something almost all of us are navigating: dating, faith, and how the two intersect in real life. In this candid episode we unpack our dating philosophies, get honest about what we’ve learned (and unlearned), and explore how faith shapes the way we connect, commit and show up for others. Whether it’s setting boundaries, understanding purpose, or just trying to get it right, this conversation gets real — fun, reflective, and unexpected. If you’ve ever wondered how faith plays into your love life, or why one person just clicks while another doesn’t, this one’s for you. Pull up a chair, grab a drink — the table’s open. 🎙️

    Seeing The World w/ Johnny Hanna | Am I Normal

    In this episode, we sit down with Johnny Hanna to talk about what happens when your vision starts changing—and your patience goes with it. Johnny opens up about losing his sight, the anger that comes with it, and the weird in-between phase of trying to stay positive without pretending everything’s fine. We talk frustration, dark humor, adapting to a future you didn’t plan for, and why “just stay positive” is maybe the most annoying advice ever. It’s honest, uncomfortable at times, surprisingly funny, and very real—because coming to terms with loss doesn’t mean losing your sense of humor.Somehow, the thing Johnny should probably be most angry about is being a Dragons fan, so we also unpack their Round 1 Vegas clash, relive the emotional damage, and preview this weekend’s game. It’s honest, occasionally uncomfortable, unexpectedly funny, and very real—because losing your sight is hard, but supporting the Dragons might be harder.

    Faith Over Football — The Prequel (Part 2 Released First) w/ Mena

    In this prequel conversation with Mena, we start the journey from an unexpected place. Before Part 1 drops, we wrestle with the tension between faith and football — asking whether you can play a certain character on the pitch while living differently off it, and if God accepts who we become in competition. This episode sets the foundation for the full story, exploring identity, integrity, and choosing faith in a game that often demands compromise. Not exactly what I expected, especially considering Mena is usually a joker — and even more so when I casually reveal my personal top three: Ngoc, Mena, and myself…
