GUEST: Shawn Wu
In the final episode, we share our philosophy about the 20s - how you start off as a people pleaser trying to fit into everyone's molds, and eventually find your authentic self by letting go of any shame of who you are and expectations of who you should be. We discuss the millennial grind and how it made Shawn break into his own room, Benedict's life lessons from being a cat dad, and the paradox of representing your authentic voice on a public podcast. We also share our time capsules and lukewarm takes - why certain lattes are getting too outlandish and why cancel culture needs to make a comeback.

GUEST: Rohan Puranik

Topics include: wedding season, food poisoning at bachelor parties, prioritizing health through running and therapy, falling back in love with reading, and how working on something that genuinely bothers you - both in entrepreneurship and creativity - can make you successful. We also share our time capsules of celebration, and lukewarm takes that are a little less lukewarm than usual... why there should be more indoor public spaces with a shoes off policy, and why people should be required to have licenses to own dogs.

GUEST: Sam Rubinek
Topics include: how we broke in as professional writers (via the Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop), dating and relationships after a pandemic dry spell, “filling up the tank” with life experiences outside of writing, and celebrating office birthdays… on Zoom. We also share our time capsules - a physical relic and a musical experience. Finally, we give our lukewarm takes - why naming pets after your friends is weird and why Heinz is the gold standard of ketchup. If you’re listening, Heinz, we are still looking for sponsors.

GUEST: Jay Lee
Topics include: getting that first “big break”, getting crushed by reality (ie. having your routine uprooted by a car accident), being a stereotypical Hollywood assistant that hoards frozen bagels, and why input is undervalued and output is overrated. We also talk about the shows Jay acted in (Colony, American Vandal, Looking for Alaska), one of which is his time capsule. Finally, we share our lukewarm takes - why 30s is better than 20s, why stretching in public should not be embarrassing, and how cultural considerations in the casting process can sometimes close opportunities for Asian-American actors.
