Keith Pedro and RUSSELL join Uncommon Sense for a hilarious and unfiltered episode about Canada in the World Cup, Filipino culture, Pride Month, drag shows, Black vs Asian culture debates, crashouts, confidence, adulthood, comedy, music and wild hypothetical questions.
We start by welcoming comedian Keith Pedro and artist RUSSELL to the pod before getting into Filipino babysitters, banana sauce, microplastics, 3D printed beef and whether everything we consume is slowly killing us. The conversation then shifts into Canada’s World Cup chances, the baddie in the Brazil jersey, Pride Month, corporate pride, drag shows and whether drag becoming mainstream is good for culture.
The Whiteboard Segment turns into a full Black vs Asian culture debate as the crew compares boxing, fried chicken, dancing, elder respect, success pressure, names, singing, film, media and anime culture. Things get even wilder with hypotheticals about family boundaries, exaggerating your cultural identity for a job, going viral for the wrong reasons and handling difficult conversations without crashing out.
Later, Keith and RUSSELL talk about confidence, self-awareness, growing out of old habits, staying patient during a crashout, how they know each other, upcoming projects, Keith Pedro’s Just For Laughs show and RUSSELL’s new album.
