I don’t think we’re all that “hated”; most people who’ve heard of us, I’m sure, couldn’t care either way, and anyway we’re just misunderstood =P The title’s an attention-getter.

Lopan and I should both be there, and JadeD might say hi as well. I say “should” and “might” because we just have to get the logistics sorted out with Jaehwan, who’s been awesome enough to set this up and develop a relationship with FC.

Groinpull,

Easy on John. Remember, he’s only been doing this for a little while, while the others were original. Plus he’s from Queens. (that was just a joke, John) My own delivery is even worse than John’s, so I can attest that it takes practice. I am getting better though…I hope…

SoulSnax,

Thanks for the link! That’s totally different from what I imagined while listening.

cool, good job Jaehwan, I only wish the Author was there to respond. I look forward to the next podcast about why everyone hates the f44s. It should be quite interesting, I didn’t realize the f44s were so disliked! Dialectic, are you going to be on the show?

good podcast. once again IR dominates the conversation. I had a tough time understanding what John was saying. He talks too fast, connects all the syllables of every two or three words, trails off, it’s frustrating. Albert and William and JJ deliver clear, concise speech and on John’s turn I really really have to strain to hear what he’s saying. I LOOOVE fallout central podcast but that one thing just pisses me off so much.

John, dude, slow the fuck down, pronounce each word clearly, form complete sentences. I hate for this to be so harsh but i literally boil with anger when it’s John’s turn on the mic. I can’t possibly be the only one.

did anyone watch the Asian awards? Where there are a lot of Asian women and white guys in the audience as some of the guys alluded to?

JJ did a great job. He brings back a lot of that sense of humor we lost when Telly left.

Thank god the political ticker is on hiatus, at least for a few months. I won’t have to endure that beast Jenn Fang for a little while.

Looks like ‘..something something of a thousand cringes’ is Will’s favorite phrase now.

Looking forward to the next podcast.

Completely unrelated but here’s a brisk etymological history because it IRKED me to hear them stumble around to figure this shit out:

Hapa as the term used primarily by the Asian American community to denote a person of half and/or partial Asian ancestry originates from the Hawaiian language.

The term translated is simply “half”. Like half and half for my coffee, two and a half men, half an hour before class gets out. However, its use in its original Hawaiian was “hapa-haole” which translated means literally half-foreigner. Or in this case half white, why most non-European languages’ words for foreigner comes to be synonymous with white is something else entirely however.

Anyway, the supposed controversy comes from hapa’s slight homophonic relation to the Japanese word “haafu” which as I understand it is a derogatory way to refer to someone of Japanese mixed blood. And also “Amerasian” is fucking stupid because the Amer from American ISN’T A RACE, MOTHERFUCKERS. You can’t magically be a mix of nationality and ethnicity in the way its being used. Numb nuts.

… ‘Kay. Done.

Good podcast <3
