Hanging Out with Nolan Hong

Another behind-the-scenes look at our marriage and probably way too much information… We talk about taking a break from releasing new episodes and why…

Sorry about the late episode… Nolan explains what happened and gives us a look into the alternate universe of his brain, and how that affects taking care of his responsibilities.

These brothers are 17, 13 & 11, and the sons of Jamie’s high school classmate. We talk about life in Utah with 5 siblings, another kid’s basketball trauma, fashion choices, stand-up comedy, parents posting on facebook, spending habits & sugar addiction.

He updates us on his life as a stuntman for Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum PI (including a story about breaking his neck in 6 places), going to Dubai for the Special Olympics World Games, and he shares some behind-the-scenes stories from his Super Brawl days.

Richie is a real estate investor and one of Nolan’s dearest friends. We talk about working together on the teen pregnancy prevention touring show, dealing with ADHD, flipping houses and accidentally buying a meth house. Go to the end of the episode (around 1:37) for Richie’s contact info and info on his upcoming class.

A recap of our trip to France, with revelations about Nolan’s anxiety, our first experience with a panic (or anxiety?) attack, what we learned about parenting, being shy on a trip with a bunch of strangers, and our favorite things about the experience.

This is an emergency episode, recorded the night before our trip to France. No guest, just us, omg. After 5+ attempts at recording, this turned into a very real talk about how we communicate with each other. Yikes.

100 episodes later, Jen (Ep 16) is back! We talk about live-action Disney remakes, our favorite podcasts, whether or not to pour the tea for your aunty in Hong Kong, Joy Luck Club, and love languages.

Colette is the Dean of Academic Affairs at Windward Community College, and she was a professsor of Hawaiian history at KCC for nearly 20 years. We talk about her experiences as an administrator and her research on Queen Kapiolani.

Nolan’s mom started a journal when he was born, which we’ve been calling The Book of Nolan. In this episode, he reads excerpts from his first year of life and her first year as a mom
