  • vs Good Grades

    Janet and Brian talk about this idea about good grades, something that many Asian-Americans are taught that it is some golden metric to a "successful." There is so much more that plays into success than simply good grades. We were taught as if good grades equals a life that is happily ever after, but the reality of that is very different. In this episode, they share their experiences around trying to meet (or not meet) some of these high standards.

  • vs Lost in Translation

    Janet and Brian explain the CO2 zone and then coin the touchdown zone. You need to be in the touchdown zone. They get into some of the troubles that they have with their language barriers. A lot of the spats they've had was because it's difficult to talk to somebody in a language that's not their own. Like they say, the first words you learn in any language is cursing and insults. They figured out how to get around some of it and they share with everybody in this episode.

  • vs Pets

     Janet and Brian banter about life in Dallas and then get into the nitty-gritty about the craziness of rasing dogs in the US. They talk about the major differences in the perception of what is really considered the "right" way to care for their pets in America in contrast to South Korea. It really is a doggy dog world, but not for their dogs, Ruby and Michonne. They're pretty much living like queens. If queens were dogs and if dogs ate human-grade food.
