    Episode 34 - It's OK to not be the main character

    Decided to drop a solo pod after coming out of a bit of a weird headspace recently while I was getting a root canal. If rambles about main character syndrome, taking ages to get good at stuff and unwatchable visuals dueof terrible lighting and gimble problems then you're in for a treat!

    Episode 28 - You're Asian Right? w/ Thang Tran

    Chong Ali catches up with his good brother Thang Tran for an overdue hang and try to sound smart while getting every fact wrong (some things never change). The boys reminisce about how a failed Bone Thugs show scarred them, second opinion DNA testing and growing up in temples. Chong also takes this opportunity to try out a new segment idea 'You're Asian Right?' which only confused and agitated Thang. Thang Tran is the owner of 'Lemak Kitchen and Bar' in Woolloongabba and several 'Lemak Express' stores throughout Brisbane.
