Send us a textEnjoy this cheeky episode description by ChatGPT. (Also, I recorded this on a late night walk so if I sound stifled, it's cause I'm trying not to wake up my neighbors.)Yo, what's good my people? MAIM TIME is BACK. After a long hiatus, I'm back on the mic to celebrate a major milestone—five years since I first started this podcast. February 2020, right before the world flipped upside down, I published my first episodes. Now, five years later, I'm back in America, starting over, and it's time to catch y'all up on everything.Where have I been?For the past 11 years, I built a life in Korea. It was the best decision I ever made, and it shaped me into the person I am today. But at some point, what was once an adventure started to feel like a cage. I needed a change. So in March 2024, I left Korea and moved to San Diego, California—America's Finest City, and arguably, America's Most Expensive City. Now, I'm navigating reverse culture shock, adapting to a new life, and figuring out what's next.Starting Over in My 30sWho does this? Who spends their 20s in a foreign country, only to return to their homeland and start over again in their 30s? A bum like me, apparently. In the past year, I've had to:✔ Get a driver's license✔ Starting a job working in the family business✔ Adjusting to American life after a decade abroad✔ Cut out distractions & focus on personal growthEverything is different. In Seoul, I could hop on a bus or train anytime, anywhere. In San Diego, you need a car. In Korea, people keep to themselves in public. In America, strangers smile and say hi on the street. It's weird, but in a lot of ways, I missed this.What's Next for MAIM TIME?I don't always know where to take this podcast, but I always find myself coming back to it. This is for me. This is for you. If you're an Asian diaspora person trying to figure out who you are, how to self-actualize, how to navigate the in-between of two worlds, this podcast is for us.This episode is raw, unfiltered, and straight from the heart. It's a stream of consciousness update on my life, my struggles, and what it means to take responsibility for your future—even when you don't have all the answers.Lessons from Rock BottomYou haven't really lived until you've hit rock bottom. Until you've tried to cry but no tears come out. Until you've wanted to scream but just stare at the ceiling instead. And even then? You get up. You move forward.I could be homeless. I could be struggling just to survive. But I'm lucky. I have my family, my health, and the opportunity to build something. And if I have to survive, why not thrive?The Bigger PictureWhat would my Asian Ancestors do? What would the Founding Fathers do? What would you do if you had to start over from nothing?People risk everything to get here. Some walk through deserts. Some smuggle themselves across oceans. Me? I had the privilege of choice. That humbles me. That makes me grateful. And that makes me want to do more.So here I am. Back in America. A new chapter begins.Hit play, let's talk about it.

Jones and Denise Agnew. (Black Spot Books 2023). Have you ever wondered what happens to our furry friends once they cross over the rainbow bridge? Well, grab your iced coffee or tea and get ready for a wild ride as we delve into animal ghosts with Strickland. While the concept may seem far-fetched to some, many pet owners believe they have encountered spiritual visitations from their departed companions. Whether it's catching glimpses of them out of the corner of your eye or hearing familiar noises around the house, these experiences can bring immense comfort during times of grief. So let's buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster as we chat about our beloved pets' extraordinary ability to stay by our side even after their physical presence has passed on.

More than 250,000 Californians are still waiting on pandemic rental assistance they applied for through the state. As they wait, eviction protections are continuing to expire.  Reporter: Ben Christopher, CalMatters   With inflation cooling, renters in Los Angeles and Orange counties are about to get a slight reprieve from large rent hikes. The statewide Tenant Protection Act uses inflation to determine how much landlords can raise rent each year. Reporter: David Wagner, LAist San Diego is home to a world-class public art scene.  Throughout the city you'll find colorful murals stretching across entire buildings and soaring sculptures celebrating the city's heritage. You'll also find public art sprinkled along the bowels of “America's Finest City” — from public bathrooms to pump stations to sewage treatment plants.

You know that giant bin at Best Buy that carries all those DVDs? Think of this latest episode of the Happy Half Hour podcast like that bin. There's a little bit of everything. So, prepare for a lesson on machaca and Vietnam trivia. After finally being removed by Petco Park security, hosts Troy and David are back at the SDM office catching listeners up on all the food happenings around America's Finest City. The duo discuss the splashiest move yet from Consortium Holdings, the re-opening of the storied Lafayette Hotel on Monday, complete with bowling lanes, an even sexier pool, and Instagram-worthy restrooms. Zebra-prints, chandeliers, fringe, velvets, gaudy trinkets, reds, blues, greens—the new $31M hotel is straight out of a Moulin Rouge set. In food news, after starting out as a farmers market vendor, Smokin' J's has opened another location in the Gaslamp Quarter. Similar to their Poway location, the joint is providing customers with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, St. Louis ribs and enough TVs to satisfy Troy and David. Now that Michelin is finally paying attention to San Diego (thank you, Addison), North Park's Mabel's Gone Fishing received a Bib Gourmand and Troy shows his psychic abilities by predicting another star coming to town soon. (Days later, we learned of Valle being awarded its first Michelin star.) Saigon Coffee has opened their first brick-and-mortar in North Park, and just like Smokin' J's, it started as a farmers market vendor. Vietnamese coffee traditionally takes a long time to make, but Saigon uses special filters to speed up the process. “It's so damn delicious,” Troy says. Brine Box also recently opened in Oceanside as a little stand on the pier dedicated to great British food and zero-waste. And it's not all fried fare: shoutout to the seared albacore and Korean barbecue prawns. Other openings include SoiPB from Khwanta Osanai and Truffle in North Park. With a name like that, David says you can even expect the fungi to come shaved on ice cream. Finally, Phil Esteban has opened another White Rice, this time in Linda Vista. David and Troy end by discussing the closing of Sapporo's Anchor Steam in San Francisco. It feels a little too close to home now that Sapporo acquired Stone Brewing Co. Finally, in “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David recommends the wings at The Regal Beagle. “Their blue cheese dressing was very obviously homemade,” he says. Troy praises National City's Mujer Divina and their excellent machaca. Stay tuned for next week's episode of Happy Half Hour and keep up with David and Troy by following them on Instagram. David can be followed @davidelimartin. Troy can be followed @heytroyjohnson.
