    Holding Hands As Virgins... IYKYK (with comedian, Mike Kim)

    Yes, that's right. You've broken out of that awkward anime phase and into the hustling sexy-best-version-of-your-Asian-self and you're killing it! That's the kind of attitude you'll have after this episode so tune in to hangout with us and comedian, Mike Kim. In this episode we chat about what motivates us to do what we do, being funny as heck (duh, Mike's a comedian), soda addictions, getting the girls (...we wish), building confidence through being our best selves, and so. much. more. You can find Mike across all social media at @mikekimcomedy but for the lazy folks out there like us, here are some quick links: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mikekimcomedy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikekimcomedy YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/mikekimcomedy You can also find us on Instagram at @justasianpodcast.

    Asian Daddy Issues (with Will Chae)

    Guys can have daddy issues too! Will Chae returns to the podcast to discuss past (and current) problems with his angry Korean dad, the long lasting and huge effects of subtle (and often snide) comments, and the impact of generational trauma—ESPECIALLY from our father figures. While we may fight against it, at the end of the day we just want to make them proud... ... or punch them in the face.

    Are You Addicted to Spending Money?

    Do you have a spending problem? We do too... but is it reeeeally a problem? Heh. Tune in this episode as we complain about problems that are clearly not that big of a problem. If you're like us and can't stop that wallet from emptying itself, then you're going to want to hear this one! Especially if you have a s/o that's equally a spendaholic like you.

    What the Actual F**k Is Wrong With Me (But Not Really)

    Yes, that's right - before the actual 'What the Actual F**k Is Wrong With Me' trend on TikTok, we took a Myers–Briggs personality test to get to know each other better. Is it the same thing if we're still brutally honest with each other?? Yeah? Yeah. Okay fine, not really. But hey, we hope you enjoy getting to know us a little better this episode just as much as we enjoyed getting to know each other. Tune in this episode to hang with us as we lay out our thoughts with a sprinkle of smack talk.
