We're two Asian-Americans who make bad life choices, argue about whose fault it is, and, in the end, hopefully, tell a good story. On this podcast we discuss our world and how our cultural experiences and background have shaped and influenced us to who we've become today. And sometimes we say the stupid thoughts you're thinking out loud. Join us weekly as we cover a range of topics from what it means to be an Asian in the tech world to why Amy Tan might be the worst.
