The Side Dish

It's a silly goose episode with our friend Phil "Soy Boi" Choi! Topics include: racist Atlantan schoolteachers, pissing yourself on the bus, reading Ocean Vuong while wasted, Aaron getting terrorized by a child, cars we'd like to fuck, and whether being a virgin at 36-years-old is a reg flag.

The one-and-only James Chung hops on the microphone to give a crash course in improvisational comedy, an "art form" that brings "joy" to people around the world.

It only took a global pandemic, two studio relocations, and thousands of tequila shots, but we did it. We made it to our 100th episode! If you're new to our podcast family, this episode features a thorough retelling of our origins and our favorite episodes. If you're a long-time listener, this episode's more or less the same shit. Sue gushes about Inside Out 2, Seline bemoans the pitfalls of being a woman, Aaron tries to rizz the gays, and Jay reveals his secret identity as the Asian Paul Dano. Thanks for all your love and support! Here's to 100 more!

Our friend Alice (aka HUNJIYA) just moved to L.A. to embark on the next stage of her music career—thankfully, we got her to drop by the studio for a farewell interview! If you ever wondered what it would be like to (a) be one of the only Asians in your upstate NY town (b) attend music college in Florida (c), get hit up by a famous producer and move to South Korea, or (d) be the Korean Olivia Rodrigo, then this is the episode for you. Enjoy!

Aaron’s childhood friend Michelle drops by the podcast to talk about adulting in Los Angeles—a city filled with grifters, menaces, and potential sugar daddies. She also shares an intense story of a friendship gone awry, culminating in abandoned kitties, hateful Instagram comments, and an international lawsuit. Michelle’s story reminds us that every day we stray further from God. Keep your loved ones in your prayers—especially the church homies.

We’re all a bunch of fat alcoholics. And we’re superficial. And too old to go clubbing. Side Dish Two-Timer Sam Sun commiserates.

Keenan's family owns what is arguably the most famous dim sum joint in New York City: Jing Fong. Being raised in a hardworking and successful environment certainly had its influence, as Keenan now manages multiple Kith Treat stores around the world, recently bought his first home, and is only 31! Check out his stories about being born (and partially raised) in Chinatown, meeting his wife through Lion Dance, Kith's ascendence into the upper echelons of streetwear fashion, and where to take a shit in SoHo. Thanks for coming on, Keenan! And congrats on opening Seoul's new flagship Kith store.
