Happy 200th Episode ANALS! Brian Bahe is a comedian, writer, and someone Fumi & Mic thought was Asian for the longest time until he revealed to us that he is Native American. He was generous enough to join the boys this week to talk about growing up in the Hopi and Navajo communities, what Native American reservations are like, and all about the popular TV show ‘Reservation Dogs’ and what that means for Native American entertainers in terms of representation. It’s all right here on Asian Not Asian! F O L L O W  https://www.instagram.com/asiannotasianpod https://www.instagram.com/thefumiabe  https://www.instagram.com/nicepantsbro  W A T C H  https://www.youtube.com/asiannotasianpodcast U P C O M I N G E V E N T S ! HACK CITY COMEDY (Fumi will be there!) 11/23 7pm @ Caveat https://www.caveat.nyc/event/hack-city-comedy--11-23-2021 M E R C H- WE ARE SELLING ANA MERCH NOW https://www.asiannotasianpod.com/merch ---  P A R T N E R S  - Helix Sleep Mattress: $125 off ALL mattress orders for ANALs at helixsleep.com/asian  - Hawthorne.co is offering 10% off of your first purchase!

No one is talking about Asian hair so in classic ANA fashion, we decided to talk about it non-stop for an hour.(Most) Asian people have thick straight hair that's difficult to style and shape especially if you have no idea how to describe your ideal hair cut to the person cutting your hair. For people growing up in non-Asian communities with little access to hair stylists who know how to cut Asian hair, this can be a huge source of insecurity. That’s why this week the boys sat down with Tim Hui and Karho Leung from the popular NYC barbershop 12 PELL (you may have seen their viral videos on TikTok) to talk about the stress, trauma, but also all the joy that can come from having thick straight Asian hair! If you live in NYC, definitely go check out their shop!It’s all right here on Asian Not Asian! U P C O M I N G E V E N T S ! HACK CITY COMEDY 11/23 @ CAVEAT + LIVE STREAM TICKETS AVAILABLE! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hack-city-comedy-tickets-193697744167 M E R C H- WE ARE SELLING ANA MERCH NOW https://www.asiannotasianpod.com/merch ---  P A R T N E R S  - Helix Sleep Mattress: $125 off ALL mattress orders for ANALs at helixsleep.com/asian  - Hawthorne.co is offering 10% off of your first purchase!

This week, ENTERTAINER Steffie Baik joined the boys to talk Squid Game, moving away from your Asian parents, and why we are obsessed with wanting to know what kind of Asian we all are.
