It was finally time to cover a nice, thick and juicy topic. We put a bit of a spin on this by adding some Asian themed flags and also a flag positioning system. Some of these are kind of more oriented as "icks" rather than flags, so this positioning systems helps to alleviate from going straight to red flag for some things. Don't take us too seriously.😂 Listen along and see if your flags are positioned similarly to ours! Guests: Matthew Ky, Nathan Phu Want to get in touch? Send us an email at...

18+ This episode gets a bit raunchy... A lighthearted episode where we discuss common Asian stereotypes, how we feel about them and explore its origins. We also understand that everyone feels differently about certain stereotypes - we are not speaking as a whole, just ourselves personally. Alex was kind of a side character in this episode who chimed in every so often. Guests: Alex Rodriguez, Matthew Ky, Nathan Phu Want to get in touch?

We have heard the stories from our regular guest, Nathan, the self-imposed “white-washed Asian”. Now it’s time to get the perspective of the other side of the coin, a “yellow-washed white guy” (He doesn’t think he is, we just kind of exaggerate it onto him). Alex comes on to talk about his experiences growing up in a multi-cultural community, experiencing many different cultural aspects and customs. We also discover his experience living in Hong Kong with Matt and discuss any cultural shocks he ...

Picture this: You're 12 years old, it is 6PM on a Tuesday night and you ask your dad for a sip of his beer. It is disgusting and you think to yourself, "I would never drink alcohol, this is terrible." Fast forward to now where alcohol is always prevalent, while it may not be yourself but with some, if not most of your friends. Drinking is a huge influence in our culture, and we will be exploring the different nuances in cultures not just limited to Asians. From the mannerisms, the games and type...
