The Flipped America Podcast

A conversation about the early passing of Brian’s dad leads to a heart-to-heart about aging. He and Josef discuss death, male pattern baldness, plucking gray chin hairs, the prodigal son, an epic game of dodgeball at the height of Josef’s midlife crisis, and why midlife is the time of their lives.

Shout outs to @baonkainan and our buddy, Rod.

Brian’s back from Hawaii to talk about his undying love for the islands before he and Josef dive into Filipino representation in the American limelight. They talk about Asian actors and Filipino performers who played notable roles in their lives.

Josef and Brian discuss Filipino legends from Lou Diamond Phillips, Dante Basco, and Lea Salonga to Bruno mars and Brian’s aunt. They wonder if the stars Filipinos admire are Filipino enough to deserve their devotion, and if Brian and his brother could’ve been stars in the Philippines.

While Brian enjoys his yearly sacrifice to the Hawaiian sea, Rose and Josef dive deep into feeling not Filipino enough.

They discuss sweeping their Filipino-ness under the rug, parties as a lifeline, the comfort of white people, fried fish-inspired time-travel fantasies, how salads can make a grown man question his Filipino mother’s love, and whether they’re Filipino enough to do this podcast.

Bring on the fish eyeballs and let’s stink up some restaurants!

With Brian on vacation, Josef flips the script and immediately dives into a frank conversation with his wife Alex about their modern American love story - life before they met, how they fell for each other, and the challenges they faced before starting their mixed and blended family.

They discuss dancing outside your comfort zone, dudes that swarmed her in salsa class, misjudging a book by its cover, the power of oversharing, NOT being friends before dating, Glenn and Maggie from the Walking Dead, and those who question whether or not their white daughter is actually Josef’s.

After Josef makes up for past episodes by kissing his dad’s ass, he and Brian go deep into life as divorced Filipino-American fathers — from how they got there to the hardest part to the rich experiences that follow afterward.

On episode 4, we discuss how Brian’s brother is a baller, the dancers and swordswomen at Josef’s local park, fighting Asian hate with a crosswalk button, witnessing a robbery after grabbing boba, and all manner of Flipped relationships, from first loves to ex-wives and everything in between.
