Description

Sports. We played them. We are fans of them. We have complicated relationships with them as well. Prompted by watching THE LAST DANCE on Netflix two years after it came out, Chuck and His #1 Phan reminisce about the sports they played, being the rare Asians out on the court or the field, and whether they have that "competitor's mindset" that makes other people so successful (and at what cost). In the end, how would they change the culture of sports for others to thrive and grow?

TW: some discussions of self-harm, suicide, and mental health.

This episode is hopefully brought to you someday by a short shorts-providing sponsor.
