What Just Happened?What we learned from our journaling exercise (Ep. 157)Recently Eugene and David tried a little exercise where we spent some time reflecting / journaling — in Eugene's case at a Starbucks following a men's retreat, and in David's case in the middle of the night. This was something Eugene especially had been wanting to do again since 2023. It's fair to say that we each came away surprised at what we learned about ourselves. In this episode, we talk about our process of reflection and what we came away with. As always, thanks for listening! :)
2025-11-1848 minWhat Just Happened?Pop Culture Summer 2025 (Ep. 156)Continuing on the theme of catching up on the podcast, David and Eugene discuss the summer of pop culture 2025. As the hype of Kpop Demon Hunter is finally (maybe?) dying down, we talk about how we experienced the movie and music while Eugene predicts what the future sequels will be about. We also talk DC v. Marvel and David explains why Superman 2025 might be one of his top 3 comic book movies of all time. As always, thanks for listening!
2025-10-2054 minWhat Just Happened?Eras Part 2 (Ep. 155) Prior to our hiatus, David and Eugene started a two part series talking about our "eras." Are you the same person you were decades ago? What's different and what's stayed the same? After having discussed our rocky teens and twenties, we've now moved on to our prime grown up years in our 30s and 40s. David discusses why his early 30s especially were so transformational, while Eugene talks about what's changed (and what hasn't) into his 40s. As always, thank you for listening! Special thanks to Eugene for editing this episode!
2025-08-051h 29What Just Happened?Networking (from skratch) (Ep. 154)After a looooong hiatus, we are so back! In this episode, David and Eugene discuss two recent networking events they separately attended. We've discussed the importance of networking in several past episodes but this is the first time we put it into practice, at least for the podcast. David discusses a very different kind of networking event he attended, while Eugene talks about the obstacles of finding networks when working remotely. 2025 may be off to a bit of a sputtering start for the two of us -- there are definitely reasons for that which we will discuss...
2025-07-221h 18What Just Happened?Eras (Ep. 153)While Taylor Swift's Eras tour may be over, David and Eugene embark on an "eras" journey of our own, as we talk about how our perspectives on life has changed over time. Are you the same person you were decades ago? What's different and what's stayed the same? David explains why the best word to describe his teenage self was "clueless" while Eugene discusses how he overcame his "slacker mode" in his twenties. As always, thanks for listening!

AcquiredTSMC Founder Morris ChangWe flew to Taiwan to interview TSMC Founder Morris Chang in a rare English interview. In fact, the last long-form video interview we could find was 17 years ago at the Computer History Museum… conducted by the one-and-only Jensen Huang! This episode came about after asking ourselves a version of the Jeff Bezos “regret minimization” question: what conversations would we most regret not having if the chance passed Acquired by? Dr. Chang was number one on our list, and thanks to a little help from Jensen himself, we’re so happy to make it happen.Dr. Chang shares t...
2025-01-272h 55What Just Happened?Chicago (Ep. 151)After a solo trip to the Windy City, David and Eugene discuss how they would structure solo travel, why David doesn't feel alone on such trips, and how (if at all!) Eugene's extroverted self would manage. We also reflect on our childhoods living in Chicago and some of the tough choices our parents had to make at the time. As always, thanks for listening!

2025-01-071h 15What Just Happened?The Grind of Unemployment, and How to Conquer It (Ep. 150)Finding a job is not easy. Like learning to drive while driving, there's a learning curve to how to find employment, which you need to climb while applying to job openings. There's also a mental health aspect to unemployment that often goes under appreciated, as well as the need to still feel creative and productive. In this episode, David and Eugene have an honest conversation about Eugene's recent experience looking for work and also discuss the practical and concrete steps that he found most helpful in his job search. (Note we recorded this episode earlier this year and since...
2024-11-121h 24What Just Happened?Arachnophobia (Spoilers!) (Ep. 149)Did you know that 30-40 million Americans have arachnophobia? And among them is one of the two of us? In this episode, David and Eugene review the somewhat obscure 1990 "thrill-omedy" Arachnophobia. We discuss what turns out to be our very different memories of how this movie showed up in our childhoods, whether this Jeff Daniels, John Goodman film holds up decades later, and what it was like to experience the movie again in real time.

This episode starts with David and Eugene taking Career Fitter's online career assessment test and discussing our results. We then consider whether Eugene should transition from software engineer to high school teacher. What would that look like, would Eugene like teaching, and most importantly, could he actually make such a radical move? As always, thank you for listening!

2024-09-302h 25What Just Happened?A.D.D. / A.D.H.D. (Ep. 146)Today's episode was meant to be the second half of our discussion of the book Who Moved My Cheese? But as sometimes (often?) happens on this podcast, David and Eugene veered instead toward a different conversation -- this time about ADD/ADHD and neurodivergence. As always, thank you for listening!

(Ep. 145)David and Eugene have been on a 90's kick recently, and are sticking with the trend with a review of the business self-help best seller "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. We discuss the fable of the two mice and two "Littlepeople" named Hem and Haw, and how remarkably relevant the story remains today. We also apply the mindset from the book to our own lives.

2024-08-131h 39What Just Happened?How I lost weight in 2024 (and why I wouldn't recommend it!) (Ep. 144)It's been a while since David and Eugene have talked about their fitness journeys. In this episode, we discuss how Eugene smoked David in our most recent half marathon race, how we're dealing with injuries and stress, and our very different strategies for trying to lose weight. Unsurprisingly, Eugene's approach is highly scientific, while David's — mostly involving protein bars and Sprite Zero — is … different. As always, thanks for listening!

David asks Eugene whether he'd ever want to visit Sanssouci Palace, and we discuss the endless tropes in K-drama land. As always, thanks for listening!

2024-05-021h 42What Just Happened?Lights out and away we go! (Ep. 141)Something happened earlier this year in Formula 1 that David has literally never seen in sports. Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton announced he would be leaving his current team Mercedes Benz to drive for Ferrari. An athlete leaving a team is not new. But Hamilton said he wasn't leaving until NEXT season (2025), and for THIS entire current year, he would keep driving for Mercedes before jumping ship. As it turned out, Mercedes Benz didn't know about his announcement until the last minute. Imagine what would happen to a soldier from North Korea who told his government he was going to defect to...
2024-04-181h 40What Just Happened?Formula 1 (Ep. 140)I (David) have always found Formula One to be an intimidating sport. Vaguely European, with weirdly shaped cars racing at break neck speeds around bizarrely shaped tracks, without a guide, it's hard to know what's going on. Eugene meanwhile has been an auto racing aficionado since his early childhood and can talk F1 shop for days. In this episode, we walk through the sport of Formula 1 through the lens of beginners, discussing everything from the sport itself to its business model, driver personalities, why its paradoxically an ultra elite sport with such broad, global appeal, and how the Netflix...
2024-04-021h 48What Just Happened?M.F.E.O. (Ep. 139) In this second half of our discussion about the movie Sleepless in Seattle, David and Eugene discuss Anne stalking Sam, poor Walter and Victoria's fates, and debate over some of the choices made by these characters. We explore some of our own theories about love and romance, how we see this movie so differently now that we are both parents, and wonder what's in store in the future for Sam and Annie. We love doing these nostalgic movie reviews and hope you enjoy the journey as well. As always, thanks for listening! Threads @davidchang99
2024-03-191h 29What Just Happened?Sleepless in Seattle (Spoilers!) (Ep. 138) In 1993, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks starred in the hit romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle. With its quirky characters, clever writing, and stellar soundtrack, not only did the movie put the city of Seattle on the map, it was a huge box office success, and has since been recognized as one of the great romantic comedies. As it turns out, and to David's surprise, Sleepless in Seattle was also one of teenage Eugene's favorite movies. In this episode, David and Eugene stroll down memory lane, and discover a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship of this film that neither...
2024-03-051h 45What Just Happened?Drinking the Kool-Aid (Ep. 137)As Eugene notes in this episode, it's not a surprise that David has "authority issues." In this second half of the discussion of Jocko Willink's book, "Extreme Ownership," we talk about the idea of being a true believer, whether Jocko is right when he says being a true believer is necessary to being a good leader, and David gets personal in his view of why his reluctance to "drink the Kool-Aid" would make him a lousy leader of any institution or organization. In November 1978, American cult leader and mass murderer Jim Jones ordered more than 900 members of h...
2024-02-201h 43What Just Happened?Extreme Ownership (Ep. 136)My daughter thinks the phrase "you can't swing a dead cat in this town" is absolutely ridiculous, and to be fair, she's not wrong! That said, you can't swing a dead cat these days without hitting a couple self-help gurus and podcasters who love them. But the self help book, "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink caught my attention a while ago, and to me it genuinely reads different than what you typically see on the shelves. Willink is a former navy seal who emphasizes humility and detachment from ego as much as being "hard core." It's also one of...

What do we remember about trick or treating growing up? What do the holidays mean to us now? And how do we tackle telling our kids that (spoiler alert!) Santa Claus may not be real?

How do you join a community without "drinking the Kool-Aid"? We don't always get a lot of guidance when it comes to hard questions about friendships.

2021-10-0549 minWhat Just Happened?You need friends. Here's how we do it. (Ep. 102) We're back with another season of the podcast! The statistics don't lie. It's hard for adult men especially to make friends. In this episode, David and Eugene discuss what it takes to make deep, meaningful friendships, how to overcome toxic masculinity that often gets in the way, and how our own dad modeled a path for us.

2021-06-2250 minWhat Just Happened?Journey (Ep. 100) It's our 100th episode! Rather than doing a Q&A (coming soon), Eugene and David celebrated the special occasion by ... renting cars. We explain in the episode. In a strange way, cars are also symbolic of the journey that life takes us on. We have one more episode this season before taking a summer hiatus.

2021-05-2535 minWhat Just Happened?Return to Disney World (someday!) (Ep. 98) This is a somewhat different type of episode. The topic of the day is officially "research" -- how to approach research, what questions to ask, where to find resources. But to make it fun, David talks about planning an aspirational family trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, while Eugene asks key questions about how to make the process less overwhelming.

As further proof the pandemic has caused David to crack, look no further than how he fell down the rabbit hole of the (highly entertaining) Netflix reality series, "Bling Empire." It took a little more convincing to get Eugene to join the watch party but -- to no surprise of long time listeners of this podcast -- it turns out Eugene had a lot to say about not only this television show, but reality TV, relationships, romance, and love. As always, thanks for listening!

David discusses how he was more naturally an investigator while peacemaking was something he needed to work on, how his types impact his marriage and relationships, and why this combination can lead to both contentment and complacency.

In today's podcast, Eugene and David talk about episode 5 of the show, our likes and dislikes, North Korean culture, and our thoughts about Kdramas in general. Eugene also gives a verdict for what future (if any) K-dramas may have in his television consumption. Crash Landing is currently available on Netflix. As always, thank...

David and Eugene discuss the concept of raising children in the spirit of greater independence and less supervision.

(Ep. 63) Let me say this upfront: For some of us, the idea of spending $200 on a single pair of jeans sounds outrageous, while for others, it's a bargain. For most of my life, I fell squarely in the first camp. Clothing has always been a complicated and sensitive topic for me, for reasons I get into here. In this episode, I talk about why for me my $200 pair of jeans represents a step toward taking ownership of my apparel (perhaps for the first time).

A few episodes back I talked about "channeling your inner Slytherin" and that got us thinking about the four houses of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In today's episode, we talk about which house we think we belong in, the pros and cons of each house, and why sometimes your greatest strength can also be your greatest weakness.
