Show notes

It's finally here! In today's episode, David and Eugene dig deep into the Enneagram test, a model of personality defined by 9 different types. Specifically, we talk about Eugene's results, ways in which they do or don't match his lived experience, and what we think may explain how he got the way he is. As always, thanks for listening!

You must be the hero - Wonder Woman 1984 (Spoilers!) (Ep. 90) Jan 13, 2021

Show notes

Happy New Year! Everything's off to a great start ... right? David and Eugene thought what better way to start off the podcast than with a movie review. In this episode, we discuss the high flying Wonder Woman 1984. And it's safe to say this movie left us with strong opinions. We hope you are doing well and staying safe and as always, thanks for listening!

The Hero We Need - Greyhound (Spoilers!!) (Ep. 83) Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

If you don't know much about the movie Greyhound, you're not alone. This Hollywood blockbuster, written by and starring Tom Hanks, was an early casualty of COVID-19, and eventually landed on Apple TV+ this summer. When Hanks heard the movie wouldn't be playing in theaters he said he it was "An absolute heartbreak."

Fortunately for us, our friend Rob Koh is back with us to break it all down. In addition to being an Ironman triathlete, Rob served as a U.S. Naval officer and spent time in active duty in a U.S. submarine. Rob tells us what he thought of the film, and how it compared with his real life experience in service. Co-host Eugene also weighs in on why Tom Hanks's movie characters are the heroes we need. Thank you Rob and Eugene for coming on the show, and thank you everyone for listening!

Ironman Meets Zoom (Ep. 82) Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

After a restful summer, I can't think of a better way to start off the new season than with a reunion! Long time listeners will remember experienced Ironman triathletes Rob Koh and Sam Chung. Both Sam and Rob were training for Ironman races when COVID-19 hit the U.S. in early March. In today's episode, they recount both the general chaos and confusion of those early days and how it impacted their training, as well as how their triathlon community adjusted to the new realities of the pandemic and their experience with "virtual" racing. Along they way, they also make a solid effort to recruit co-host Eugene Chang into the sport! Thank you Sam and Rob for once again coming on the podcast (for what's now looking like a series!). Thank you Eugene as always for your co-hosting presence. And thank you everyone for listening!

Update / Spoiler alert: After we recorded this episode, Sam got his bike back! :)

How to Fix Stuff (Ep. 81) Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

If there's one major difference between Eugene and David, it's that one of us is extremely handy and the other is not. Eugene grew up watching shows like This Old House and New Yankee Workshop, while David ... let's just say for him putting together an Ikea end table is an accomplishment!

In this episode, Eugene provides insight on how to get better at handiness and repair, while David shares some of his coping mechanisms for quelling his fear of drill bits and instruction manuals . As always, we hope you are safe and thank you for listening! :)

Eugene Doesn't Like Finishing To-Do Lists (!) (Ep. 80) Jun 03, 2020

Show notes

What heresy is this? Who doesn't like to complete their to do lists? The sense of accomplishment? The glory?

In this episode, David and Eugene talk about how we stay organized and get stuff done. David asks for help with his problem of chronically losing track of tasks he's supposed to do, while Eugene discusses how he's learned over the years how to develop a routine, and why he sometimes DOESN'T like getting things done. Thanks for listening! :)

Star Trek: Picard (Ep. 79) May 20, 2020

Show notes

From K-dramas to the stars, our journey through television continues. Today, Eugene and David discuss episode one of the newest Star Trek franchise, Picard. Growing up, both of us were fans of The Next Generation, so returning to the world of Jean-Luc Picard feels a little like coming home. We talk through the many twists and turns of the pilot episode (Data's back!), what we liked and didn't like, and give our thoughts on the essence of what makes Star Trek, Star Trek. Live long and prosper, and thanks for listening!

Crash Landing On You (Ep. 78) May 06, 2020

Show notes

It's happening! Eugene is watching a Korean drama. And not just any, but the smash hit, Crash Landing On You. This show was popular enough even in the United States that there was a lengthy story about it in the Washington Post (link below). In today's podcast, Eugene and David talk about episode 5 of the show, our likes and dislikes, North Korean culture, and our thoughts about Kdramas in general. Eugene also gives a verdict for what future (if any) K-dramas may have in his television consumption. Crash Landing is currently available on Netflix. As always, thank you for listening!

Where You Are (Ep. 76) Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Do you love where you live? Or do you wish you could move? As we all shelter in place, Eugene and I discuss the places we've lived, and where we live now. We talk about what we love about our respective areas and things we wished were different.

I'll be honest, this episode touched a nerve. Specifically, Eugene raises a couple of personally provocative questions in the middle of the episode that got me thinking about about the choices I've made about where we call home, and whether those decisions were the right ones. As always, thank you for listening!
