Let's Talk Basic Podcast

People have a lot to say about a lot of things, but especially about pregnancy predictions. Ways to predict if it's a girl or boy, things you should or shouldn't do, causes for miscarriages. This week we delve into all the old wives' tales we've been hearing, including Chinese superstitions and Chinese confinement practices! What is Chinese confinement? Well, tune in to find out!

What do side parts, pizza and Harry Potter have in common? Apparently all are uncool now. If you haven't heard already, there's a feud brewing between Millenials and Gen Zs. This week we take on some of the things Gen Zs are saying about millenials (as in us!) and we go through them one by one and respond to it. The gloves are off! Let us know what you think - we still love our Gen Zs, even if you think we're ancient. 

Alright, Bling Empire has hit Netflix and you may have heard of it or seen it popping up on your news feed or on Ellen. This week, Vee & Jo discuss our thoughts on the Netflix series, the characters, and the drama from our perspectives as fellow Asians. Can we relate? Check out this week's episode to find out!

We're back this week to catch up about Season 25 of the Bachelor - Matt James! This is the reality tv fix we needed as we start 2021 and what a season it's been. We share our thoughts about Matt, what we think of the girls, and who we think will be in the top 3. Let us know if you agree and what you think! 

Despite this being the most repetitive year ever, you know it's coming - 2020 year in review! In this episode, Vee and Jo look back at what happened in 2020, what they've learned in their careers and in their relationships and what they've appreciated. It wasn't all bad! But let's say we're also looking forward to some new things in 2021. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!!

In this week's episode, Vee shares her COVID scare. How it went down, and what is the test really like? In an unrelated note, we are leading up to the holidays and we share our holiday plans (or lack of...?) 

We want to wish you all a very, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

After Vee's BIG announcement last week, we catch up with what's been going on with Jo in this episode and she's got a little announcement!

Can you guess what it is? This week we talk about how she announced it to her family and the difference between Asian parents and White parents' reactions to news. We're looking forward to sharing all the details with you!!

After taking a break, Vee and Jo are back with Season 3! COVID has changed things for all of us, but we're still going through all the other things life throws at us. During our break, both Vee and Jo have gone through some big life changes. Today we talk about what Vee has been up to and her BIG announcement!!

We can't wait to share it with you!

This week Joanne and her husband Tyler take over the podcast and do a recap of their trip to Canada's capital, Ottawa! They talk about what it was like to travel for the first time during quarantine, what they liked and didn't like about Ottawa, and what "crazy" experience they ran into while they were there.
