    Episode 1 - Growing Up American Feat. Johnny Tran & Daniel Dianich

    Summary: A 31 minute segment about growing up american, recalling a racially charged incident after a night out, and replaying our decision to not physically hurt a drunk individual who was looking for a fight.  --- Notable Quotes: "The struggles that we go through are still universal." "...I was actually screaming at the top of my lungs at him to get the f**k out of the car.'

And they're listening to the rhetoric that's being spit by politicians & by the media about cultures that they have no connection to or no understanding about." "All the Asian people that you see in the media today, they all have great value and they bring their own value to the table. I don't see my role, where I fit in the world, exposed to the media." --- "Asian Americans have more value to bring to society than being pigeon-holed in just Asian shit." "I don't want to be limited and I don't want to say that we're never going to talk about these things." --- Credit:  Host - Instagram@JohnnyTranderson Co-host - IG @Ddianich --- Disclaimer: This podcast is meant for adults +18.
