Squid Game+Love Island in the same universe?, Kpop Demon Hunters, Dating in your 20s - Phil Yu, Milky Tran (S1E10)
Milky Tran struggles to find mature dudes, Phil got imposter syndrome when asked to host the official Squid Game podcast, and Jenny blames it all on the Boomers.
It is Friday, June 27TH, 2025 and this week, just like the crust of an exquisite croissant, I am…falling apart.
This is What Should We Talk About? With Jenny Yang, your weekly catchup time with smart and funny people to find joy in an unjust world. We discuss topics submitted by our guests and you, the listener. Any topic! Current, old! Big, small! Nerdy, petty! What should we talk about?: Leave a voicemail or text at 323-250-3589
Today we have one of my oldest co-workers. He is a long-time blogger at the iconic Angry Asian Man, Podcaster of They Call Us Bruce & Squid Game: The Official Podcast, Author of RISE: A Pop History of Asian America From the Nineties to Now AND frequently impersonated person on the internet, my friend PHIL YU!
My next guest, a future-friend, is a writer/director/filmmaker turned content creator who started their professional career as a director for Jubilee Media, got discovered and signed to her management company when she got laid off at the age of 25 and gained 200k+ followers online in the past 6 months because of her unique voice and storytelling, MILKY TRAN!
