No days off as the gang is back to recording even though it’s Gavin’s birthday. The hosts receive gifts from Robin so join us next episode as we unbox them on the show. Additionally, Gavin talks about his experience at a couple’s massage.

Jack continues his battle against the PC culture. This week we learn that the famous children’s toy Mr. Potato Head is now being rebranded as just “Potato Head.” Moreover, six children’s books by Dr. Seuss are being discontinued because they carried racist imagery. We talk about what this means for future generations and whether or not it’s a good thing.

Gavin talks about a Californian mom who has a successful OnlyFans page. Unfortunately, her three sons were kicked out of their Catholic school as a result of the mother’s activity. Let us know what you think about this issue and … more importantly, if you want to see Jack start an OnlyFans account.

Afterwards, the Cantonese Ambassador teaches us a few Cantonese phrases related to this week’s issues. Follow along with the lesson by clicking here.

DIU Pod 65 (February 12, 2021: Chinese New Year, Olympics sexism)

Kyle joins the DIU Pod gang today as we celebrate season 2 of WHAT KIND OF ASIAN ARE YOU? Podcast. We also read a comment from DIU Pod superfan Layx with an interesting proposal to start a DIU movement in Taiwan.

Jack talks about the impending double-holiday weekend with Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day. At first, he complains that these holidays are too close to each other (and Christmas). Apparently, Jack is sick and tired of spending buckets of money during Chinese New Year. We also hear about his jealousy towards his Indian colleagues who get like five extra “cultural holidays” off per year. Meanwhile, Jack complains about how he only gets a half-day off on Chinese New Year.

Gavin talks about the president of the Tokyo Olympics Committee Yoshiro Mori, and his recent sexist remarks. Mori claims that having more women on the committee would be annoying because they would take too much time to talk. He has since apologized but will not resign. Jack brings us around on a tirade about gender equity in the workforce. We also hear his opinions on women talking too much. Gavin brings in some studies and we discuss this stereotype.

Afterwards, the Cantonese Ambassador teaches us some phrases related to Chinese New Year. Follow along with the lesson by clicking here.
