The Two Asians Podcast

For the first time ever, Vieny and Joe bring on a guest to turn the Two Asians Podcast into... the THREE Asians Pocast. We discuss what life is like during this period of sheltering in place, the lack of sports in our lives, what we'd eat on death row, and answer the question of whether or not we're the human equivalent of Chinese takeout.

The TAP returns for our March episode where we talk about our lives during quarantine due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the lack of sports in our lives, Tom Brady's departure, and how we feel about Asian food being changed for the American public. Also, how to really peel a banana. Recorded 3/20/2020.

The guys get back together (for the second time this month!) and discuss the legacy and impact of Parasite's awards at the Oscars, some casual (and not so casual) racism, and the interesting "opportunity" that the outbreak of the coronavirus presents to the Asian community.

Recorded February 1, 2020. Vieny and Joe are back for February's podcast where we talk about our life updates, the NFL, introduce a new segment (TAP OR NO TAP), Parasite!, your regularly scheduled Asian News, and at the end, give some thoughts on the life and death of Kobe Bryant and what it meant to us.

The guys reunite for a New Years edition of the Two Asians Podcast! They discuss the importance of a man's haircut, what they did over the holidays, their New Years resolutions, and a variety of other topics.

Recorded October 9th, 2019 (11PM EST) Vieny and Joe return to do an emergency pod! The TAP goes in depth on the NBA's tenuous relationship with China, our collective disappointment with the league and ESPN, Vieny's marathon (good luck on Sunday!), and a brief recap of Joe's trip to Spain.

Our hosts Vieny and Joe discuss Asian-North-Americans in media (Part Two!), Joe's new eyes (Lasik!), the Lion King remake, Top Gun: Maverick, White Claw, Vieny's withdrawal from Team USA basketball, and a variety of other topics.

Vieny and Joe are BACK! After a long hiatus, the TAP reunites to discuss (NBA Champion) Jeremy Lin and his impact on the game. Along the way, they talk about Always Be My Maybe, NBA free agency, and Chandler Parsons' game.
