It’s another episode of The Mimi and Greg Show! We go typical Mimi and Greg style with tangents, current events and a good old fashioned Rucka Rant!

In this episode we discuss the importance of language and communication. Greg also shares his take on the ongoing investigation into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago docs.

In this episode I discuss the history and philosophy behind one of the most ancient Chinese kung fu weapons, the stick or staff. If you decide to join me on YouTube, you'll see some of the visuals that go along with the episode, but not to worry loyal podcast listeners, video is not necessary.

Micaela Solís is a naturalist for the Galapagos National Park. I had the pleasure of spending a week with Micaela during my visit to these remarkable islands. Words simply cannot describe the wonderment that is the Galapagos.

Greg Rucka and I pick up from our previous episode and philosophize about pain, therapy and learning as we age.

I know it sounds heavy, but we actually kept it light, (for us). We share some laughs and discuss why laughter truly is the best medicine.

In this episode I am answering some listener questions on my kung fu journey and the secret to improving kung fu! I also share some personal stories about growing up with my father, Grandmaster Pui Chan, as my teacher. Listen on for all the answers.

Coach Dan John and I are back discussing life, destiny, cannibalism… and of course The Sword in the Stone!

In T.H. White’s book, he raises the question: are you prepared for your destiny? It prompts an in-depth conversation on the hero’s journey. I love dissecting this book with Dan which entails so much more than reading a story.

I had the pleasure of speaking with stars Jo Koy and Lydia Gaston about their new film Easter Sunday opening on August 5th.

Jo stars as a struggling actor, comedian, and single father who returns home for an Easter celebration with his riotous, bickering, eating, laughing, and loving family, in this love letter to his Filipino-American community.

Greg Rucka has been busy on the set of The Old Guard 2. I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since our last podcast. It was great to catch up with Greg and hear about the ins and outs of the film production process. It wouldn’t be a typical episode without a Rucka rant on current events: Roe V Wade, voter suppression, gun control and the problematic Supreme Court.

Langley Kirkwood discusses his new film Collision on Netflix, Warrior Season 3 and the upcoming Netflix One Piece live action film. It is eye opening to hear about the very real issues highlighted in the film Collision: xenophobia, racism and corruption. Langley educates me about the history and current socio-political situation in South Africa.
