We're two Asian-Americans who make bad life choices, argue about whose fault it is, and, in the end, hopefully, tell a good story. On this podcast we discuss our world and how our cultural experiences and background have shaped and influenced us to who we've become today. And sometimes we say the stupid thoughts you're thinking out loud. Join us weekly as we cover a range of topics from what it means to be an Asian in the tech world to why Amy Tan might be the worst.

    After a couple weeks off, Brian and Nam are back in action. 

    This week, we wanted to do bring a lighter note to this podcast. Brian invites a special guest, Jeff Morrone, a lifelong friend who currently hosts Court Vision, a podcast about basketball journeymen and the lives they lead.
    Jeff is the biggest basketball fan and just an amazing human, we make some jokes, we place some bets on the Mickey Mouse league, and we set ourselves up to answer the question, "Ball is life?"

    Catch Part 1 of 2 where Jeff and Brian work through their Boston fandom existential crises and Nam sits back and grabs his bag of popcorn. You won't want to miss it!

    This week, Brian talks about his experience going to the protests in SF and gives Nam shit about not going to the ones in Denver. In the end, Nam slowly tries to get Brian to admit he was right all along. Not really, but he does cry again.

    This week, as the world reels from the murder of George Floyd, and the subsequent protests and riots, we try to make sense of the anger we feel, what we owe the black community, and what the fuck we can do about any of it.
