Get hyped for freedom day, we&#39;re so keen to get out and do something other than walks to the park and back. Matt betrays Nathan, Nathan and I think we have an alcohol problem, I become vulnerable. Also Nathan&#39;s microphone was plugged weirdly or something, it&#39;s a bit crackly at times - the issue with remote recordings.This episode is proudly sponsored by Art on the Gogh, Sydney’s Mobile Paint and Sip service, available for shipping worldwide and express shipping within Australia.

Recorded on 15/7/21. I finally got around to editing this so you might realise that some of the stuff that we are talking about is a bit outdated. Yes, I understand the irony of when I say I like having somewhat better-quality recordings when there is a slight hissing sound this episode ☹. This is an off-topic one where we just cover what’s been happening since lockdown initially started, what we’ve been doing and just overall random subjects.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jun/10/boomers-had-their-chance-under-40s-getting-pfizer-vaccine-in-nsw-despite-not-being-eligible" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jun/10/boomers-had-their-chance-under-40s-getting-pfizer-vaccine-in-nsw-despite-not-being-eligible</a>Guest: Michelle HuaWant to get in touch?

With international travel still not close in sight, I figured it might be a good time to whip out more overseas tales.

We have heard the stories from our regular guest, Nathan, the self-imposed “white-washed Asian”. Now it’s time to get the perspective of the other side of the coin, a “yellow-washed white guy” (He doesn’t think he is, we just kind of exaggerate it onto him). Alex comes on to talk about his experiences growing up in a multi-cultural community, experiencing many different cultural aspects and customs. We also discover his experience living in Hong Kong with Matt and discuss any cultural shocks he may have faced.Guests: Alex Rodriguez, Matthew Ky, Nathan PhuWant to get in touch?

It is disgusting and you think to yourself, &#34;I would never drink alcohol, this is terrible.&#34; Fast forward to now where alcohol is always prevalent, while it may not be yourself but with some, if not most of your friends.
