Asian Not Asian

This one is a little longer than usual but we had such an amazing conversation with comedian/writer Michael Cruz Kayne!Fumi whipped out the race timer this week and goes off on a hip bar that wronged him in Bed Stuy. After listening to Fumi rant, Mic reveals that bar is actually his favorite bar. Then the boys get into a deep discussion about how every Asian entertainer needs to “self-anoint” themselves because people aren’t really keeping tabs on their achievements. U P C O M I N G E V E N T S ! - FUMI’S GOOD BYE SHOW @ Canal Street Market 7/28 8pm: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fumis-goodbye-show-tickets-162714749195?aff=ebdssbdestsearch 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!
