Published: Nov. 13, 2020, 12:14 a.m.

In this episode (Ep. 23) - "Asian" Studies with Lance , we talk with Chad's college friend Lance from Kansas City. But first, I apologize for audio and technical difficulties, scheduling conflicts and time zone mistakes. Actually Jamie and I had about 45 minutes of content before Lance joined us, but the video file got corrupt while it was converting. Also, sorry to Lance for the time zone mix up. We start this week with Jamie and I talking for a few minutes before he has to go spend time with his wife for their wedding Anniversary! Congratulations! I hope your balls are intact, next time, let's not schedule anything on such an important date...LMFAO. After Jamie leaves, Lance joins Chad for the podcast. We start it with Lance giving us a little story about his short stay in Japan, then he introduces himself. We then talk a little about our College and the price of living in paradise, which leads way to some costs of living talk. He then schools me on some building regulations in D.C. and we talk a bit about the 2020 election and some politics. Lance then talks about how he made his way to college in Hawaii and his "love" for Asian cultures. He talks about the different Asian languages that he studied and his experiences living abroad in different South East Asian countries. I ask Lance about which country he enjoyed living in the most and he gives us some stories about Thailand and Malaysia. He tells us about living in a Muslim majority country and talks about some the the rules that comes with it, for example, bacon. He also talks about some progressive Muslims and the Malaysian equivalent to the Native Americans. I then ask Lance to come visit me in Sapporo and he agrees to it, as long as it's not winter. Then, we get into some talk about winter and snow. Lance then brings us back to Thailand and tells some stories about wingmanning and Thai lady boys. Which leads us to talk about acceptance of gay relationships and the differences between the current western culture, Thai culture and ancient Roman and Greek cultures. I then get into the "This and That" section of the podcast and ask Lance some questions about raw food, Cajun food and Asian food. Lance gives some great advice about Thai food and street food. I hit him with a beach or hot spring (onsen) and we end up talking about the future of our balls. He also talks about his craving for chicken has subsided after living in Indonesia and eating a lot of chicken. We then bring it back to Hawaii and he talks about living in the "red light district" of Hawaii and not knowing. We finally bring it back full circle and talk in detail about how we first met, a college party, police, death, rap, and end it.
