Sorry Who Are You MacGyver Mann

MacGyver is joined this week by his older brother, McKenzie Mann! They start off by swapping stories from their childhood, from driving to high school together to finding a mysterious turd next to a cactus on a family outing (sorry, mom!). As they continue talking, they get into some of the more serious matters of their youth with discovering who they are near their college years and their parents divorce and how it affected each of them. They end the interview with hindsight as 20/20 and how they would change any element of their past to be closer as brothers.

Podcast note: this was the first recording in Arizona, USA using new equipment and space, so the audio quality may differ from the previous episodes.

As a note from MacGyver: this episode is really a special experience for me as I was able to speak to my brother in an honest, open and vulnerable environment that marks such a growth in our relationship since returning from China in Nov 2023. Love you, Mac!

MacGyver is joined by Rae Lee wherein they go over her ventures into a variety of interests and hobbies, from her relationship-to-religion based poetry, bartending to playing football (soccer for the Americans) in Shanghai.  Rae shares briefly about being a transwoman and how she is sometimes referred to as the "Trans Fairy Godmother".  Rae also explores the topic of her performances in punk rock venues across Shanghai and how she is bending the limits of creativity in each act.

MacGyver is joined by a child of parents who immigrated to Queens, New York, USA, JoHannah, or "Jo". Jo introduces herself as, firstly, a Child of God, and the two discuss the importance of finding one's own journey to their relationship with a deity as opposed to relying upon others. They also talk about Jo growing up in a rather segregated community with a strong divide between the "black" and "white" sides of town; difficulties of growing up; and transparency of communication between parents and children.

MacGyver is joined by another polynesian, hailing from a mix of New Zealand and Australia, Tori Waiata. They drop into the conversation about a learning disability she was not told she had, dyscalculia, which MacGyver had never heard of. Tori breaks it down and gives examples of how she overachieved in other areas of schooling.
Being a late teen at the time of recording, Tori also describes her experience of moving across the world to a foreign country, China, for the first time in her life and how quickly she has had to learn to grow up... and how much she can quote from the movie "Coraline"
