Show notes

We get DEEP this week with just the boys!

Fumi rants about his second introspective journey to Hawaii and how he gets most of his history knowledge from racist Uber drivers. Mic went on a research trip to a variety show for young hot white girls and was labeled a creep! Fumi and Mic also get into the secret of CAPITALISM and how paying to go to NYU and USC might be better than studying your ass off to get into UC Berkley.

Randall Park Wears White Suits to The Clubs (w/ Randall Park) Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

That’s not a typo folks! Randall Park as in… the actual Randall Park joined the boys this week to give them a pep talk. Randall has done many podcasts but they always ask him the same things, so we wanted to switch it up and ask about things that have nothing to do with his career like his experience with Korean clubbing, doing drugs in Vegas, and Randall’s short stint as an aspiring architect. Don’t sleep on this one!

Cultural G*ngb*ng (w/ Justin Chang, LA Times) Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

Renowned film critic and Mic’s childhood friend Justin Chang from LA Times/Vulture/Variety joined the boys this week for a wild wild episode! The boys talk about the ever-lasting tension between creators and critics, if critics’ opinions matter at all, and the appropriate ways to consume criticism over the internet so that you don’t get hurt and feel like jumping off a bridge! Yay!

RACE TIMER!!! (w/ Michael Cruz Kayne) Jul 19, 2021

Show notes

This one is a little longer than usual but we had such an amazing conversation with comedian/writer Michael Cruz Kayne!

Fumi whipped out the race timer this week and goes off on a hip bar that wronged him in Bed Stuy. After listening to Fumi rant, Mic reveals that bar is actually his favorite bar. Then the boys get into a deep discussion about how every Asian entertainer needs to “self-anoint” themselves because people aren’t really keeping tabs on their achievements.

Conan O'Brien & H*ndj*bs At Cirque du Soleil (w/ Natasha Vaynblat) Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Fumi wants to know what kind of h*ndj*bs you might get at a Vegas Cirque du Soleil show. Mic can de-escalate any fight with pancakes. Natasha forgot that there was a video element to this podcast and legit ran to the podcast from her home.

Something really really bad happened. Fumi talks through his guilt that made him sick to his stomach. Mic talks about feeling Asian guilt in the voting booth in the NY primaries. It’s raw. It’s Unprotected. It’s Asian Not Asian.
