You Doo?

We laughed. We cried. We questioned all our life choices. Now it all comes down to this... the final episode (of Season 1). We’re going out with a bang featuring the iconic Jackie Tien — a chaotic “good” queen and multi-talented force of nature. She’s an LA-based actress, social media manager and all-around storytelling sorceress. We discuss the trials and tribulations of navigating Hollywood as a Vietnamese American and the legacy she's building in filmmaking. We dive into a reflection of our biggest lessons since starting You Doo? and our own personal evolutions over the past season. Will there be drama? Maybe. Tears? Almost certainly. Existential spirals? Already happening. The perfect sendoff to a season that talks about everything that you doo!!

What does it mean to tell stories that not only inform—but heal, challenge, and transform?
This week, we’re joined by Rhysea Agrawal, a rising force in climate journalism, Managing Editor at The Xylom, and one of the most compelling voices shaping how we communicate the climate crisis today. In this powerful conversation, Rhysea opens up about navigating queerness, immigration, and science all at once—and how those intersections have shaped her mission: to grow science with words. We unpack the importance of cultural context in climate reporting, the responsibility of communicators in the age of greenwashing and misinformation, and why representation isn’t just a checkbox—it’s the foundation for truth.

In a world that often tells AAPI queer folks to shrink themselves, speaking up is radical. Pride isn’t just a celebration. It’s protest. It’s presence. It’s power. In this episode, we sit down with Will Chen, a gay Asian man whose story cuts across borders and barriers. From silence to survival. We unpack the deep-rooted stigma around queerness in parts of Asia, the emotional toll of living in the shadows, and the complexities of dating and identity in Western queer spaces. Why are Asian men still overlooked or exoticized — even in communities that claim to be inclusive? This isn’t just about relationships. It’s about resilience and the journey toward visibility and self-worth.

Inspired by Vogue’s iconic 73 Questions, we sat down with birthday boy Vince for 30 questions to celebrate 30 years. But it’s more than a Q&A—it’s a deep dive into growing up, nostalgia, and what “thriving at 30” really means. From the lessons we never expected to the power of staying connected to our inner child, we’re unpacking the truth behind adulthood with a nod to 13 Going on 30. Is having it all figured out just a myth? Let’s find out.

Adjusting to a new culture as a mother is no small feat — and it's something many of us never fully understood… until we became adults ourselves. Our moms carried so much with quiet strength — acts of love, sacrifice, and resilience we only now truly recognize. In this special episode, we sit down in person for the very first time with none other than Mathew's mom— to talk motherhood, identity, cultural shifts, and everything in between. This one’s for every mother who’s ever built a home in a place that didn’t yet feel like one. This one’s for the mothers who adapt, survive, and raise strong hearts in unfamiliar places.

This week, we “kiki” the house-down-boots with Paul Yen — SoCal native, performer, and a true ALLY. From stage to screen, Paul brings more than just talent — he brings truth, heart, and purpose. We talk about what it means to be Asian American in Hollywood, the importance of telling authentic stories, and how he uses his platform to amplify marginalized voices — especially in support of the LGBTQIA+ community. Paul doesn’t just talk the talk — he shows up, he listens, he challenges, and he leads with empathy. This conversation is all about representation, reimagining narratives, and championing inclusion in every space he enters.
