EPISODE 71: A one-on-one pod with Mike and Chris! I prepare for a road trip that ends on a mountain and Chris tells me about tending bar during the re-opening and how to Marie Kondo my luggage. We chat sleep deprivation, meditation, DJ Khaled, and, to end the pod on a serious note, get into a real discussion about COVID-19 and mask usage.

EPISODE 70: A one-on-one pod with Mike and Chris! We discuss various important topics like our favorite ice cream flavors, our teen crushes, and discuss our favorite Real World seasons. Chris megadoses on vitamin C during a social media detox, I learn what “dead ass” means, and we chat about rude airport staff workers.

EPISODE 69: Even after landing Kurimu’s ice cream at renowned market Foxtrot, Ming has always kept it super low key. But delicious, creative ice cream is really only a small part of Ming’s life story so far. A formal degree in Industrial Design was more a sheet of paper than a career pursuit—long before soft serve, he started Fizz Automotive here in Chicago during his last semester in college. It’s another reminder than your true passions often find ways to shine through the cloths you put over them. We chat new ice cream flavors, National Olive Day, Hot Import Nights, Ming’s car collection, and Chris freaks out over White Rabbit.

We are OVERWHELMED by how many people came to visit our activation during last week's @haibayo event in Argyle—it brought us so much joy to collect the voices of the community and, with the help of Gratitude Blooming, inspire introspection, vulnerability, and positivity amidst a dark world. As this is easily our longest pod, we encourage our listeners to take breaks, bookmark, and conduct reflections of your own. To facilitate your exploration, you can use your ⏪ and ⏩ to jump through each of the 40+ recordings and Chris and I's ruminations. From the entirety of our hearts, thank you for your enthusiasm for our on-going mission. Special thanks to Hai Bayo for thinking of us for the event, our amazing volunteers who made the success of our activation possible, and Gratitude Blooming for a unique and fruitful partnership. ————————— 🔊 LINK IN BIO to subscribe + listen on @spotify and @applepodcasts 🔊 💡 Have a perfect guest, topic, or idea for the show?

EPISODE 67: It’s one more week of Chris and I during the final stages of prep before our @haibayo Argyle activation marathon episode (which airs next week)! We do our traditional recap on our previous three guests, discuss taking the day off for your birthday, National Towel Day, brown-bagged beverages, the wonders of activated charcoal, and reminisce over Wicker Park’s glory days like a couple of wrinkly ol’ bags.

EPISODE 66: Chris and I are back for a special pod to reflect on George Floyd and celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. This Saturday, May 29th we will be joining forces with Gratitude Blooming to get the local community voices on the pod. Our installation is designed to foster authentic connection, introspection, bravery, and positive mental health amidst the challenges of today. It's time to think big and celebrate possibilities. Big thanks to Haibayô and Qideas for the invite. We’ll be posted up at UNI UNI Boba from 12-9, so make sure you say hello and enjoy what we, as a powerful, positive community, have assembled.

EPISODE 65: It’s a strange thing for someone who’s worked for Ford, Tesla, and Rivian to tell you they’re unqualified to be on a pod. But that’s exactly what Eugene Kim said to me when I asked him to share his story. Truth be told, his biggest transition hasn’t been anything career related—it’s been a transition of mindset. And that journey can be much more powerful than any resume stat can boast. We chat about unemployment during the pandemic, going away parties, double spaces, seizing opportunity, burnout culture, finding happiness, and what it was really like working for the Musk himself.

EPISODE 64: There’s a lot that we process as kids that can end up affecting us during the decades that follow. Christina’s inquisitive nature, despite becoming a stranger amongst peers and circumventing countless trials by fire, have instilled growth and an irreplaceable discipline that’s powered her career toward clinical psychology. We discuss foregoing social media entirely to seek internal validation, how trauma can manifest itself as physical pain, and the “tyranny of the shoulds”. In other news, Chris gets into his editing feels, I check to see how my personality lines up with my Chinese zodiac, and Christina gives us insight to her secret alter ego.

EPISODE 63: This week the Jedi returns over drinks! We hit the Mos Eisley cantina for adult beverages and chat about life since his first pod, the Star Wars franchise, Fall Guys, National Bird Day, earnest two-way communication amongst family and friends, and the importance of finding your own space to reset your mental health. We explore why we are all still friends after twenty years, DDR, and discuss which Star Wars vehicle we'd daily drive.

EPISODE 62: A monogamous pod with Mike and Chris. We recap our recent guests, chat about how your youthful vices may have affected our adult mindsets, cooking during quar, our favorite OG Nintendo games, Chris's infatuation with the Uncharted franchise, and the WHOOP. Mike celebrates National Tell a Story Day and Chris uses the word "steez" while using a professional mic.
