Yapping About Stuff

My friend Trang loves connecting with people and experiencing life through them. We discuss how she forms these connections, her many relationships, and all the lessons she learned through her experiences. From respect to humor to seeing the value in each other, we cover many fundamental aspects of human connection. 

My friend Andrew Johnson loves Haikyuu and Lord of the Rings. We talk about these things among many other topics that form this chaotic conversation. Hope you can keep up and enjoy this wild ride of nonsense.

My friend Sophia is passionate about rocks and public transportation. As a geography major she has developed a deep love for these things, and she shares them with me in the week's episode (among other random nonsense, of course).

A short episode to follow up my last episode on anxiety and depression. Just a little piece I came up with about what I did/do to help me get through my anxieties and fears. If you relate, I hope you can be inspired by what I learned along the way.

This is my life story. The story of how I became the person I am today and why I do the things that I do, all the bumps along the road, and all the people I've met along the way. I pour my heart and soul into this. I might do more solo episodes like this in the future. Thanks and enjoy.

Do you like professional wrestling? My best friend Yuri Molina shares his passion for wrestling as he trains to be a wrestler in the Philippines. We discuss the wrestling scene in the country, with random tangents about sex and comparing Jesus to Doctor Who. Just normal conversations between us. Oh, and Twice, of course. All this and more on Yapping About Stuff, a podcast by JI Yap. 

This episode was recorded on January 7, 2021, following the horrific events in the US involving domestic terrorists attacking the Capitol. I discuss these events with a good American friend of mine, Lauren, and how the US and their political parties move forward. 

And of course, with some sarcasm and weird tangents here and there. And Kpop (naturally).

Enjoy!

Recently, a storm has ravished many areas of the Philippines leaving towns and cities flooded. There are so many people doing so much to help relief and rescue operations to help the people who have been affected. In the description here I will link places you can go to find details to donate money, food, clothing, or anything you want to do to help. All that below. 

You can search for hashtags such as 
#RescuePH 
#TyphoonUlysses
#PampangaNeedsHelp
#CagayanNeedsHelp
#IsabelaNeedsHelp

If I am missing anything, I apologize. The first two are the most general and a good starting point. Through those you can find a lot of information for places to donate and contact information. 

There is so much more you can find out on social media and online. Feel free to do some research about this. Any profits I get from this podcast I will also be donating. We must all do our parts to help everyone who has been affected by this storm, and to hold the government accountable for the poor job they have been doing. We need change NOW. 

What kind of serial killer would you be?

It's weird questions like this that define my 7+ year long friendship with Vanessa. And, of course, we also discuss our shared love for Blackpink, and so much more. It gets reaaaal weird in this one.

Should BTS enlist in the military?

We answer this question and more in my conversation with Maegan Peña. We also discuss her love for anime and her interesting culture and upbringing as a Mexican-American in San Antonio, Texas.
