Half of This

In today's episode, I'm back! After a long hiatus, I talk about why I took a break, mindset during this time, and briefly update y'all on what's been happening on my end. I also brought back a nice, hot cup of tea where I discuss my recent experiences on hinge (dating app), what the guys' side looks like, the type of profiles we see, and a match that turned out wasn't my ma...

Don't know about you, but I'm pretty finished with Physical 100. We laughed, were inspired, felt motivated to be our best selves, and now we get lazy and move on. Hopefully there's still a lingering passion to be your best physical self after watching Physical 100, but we're wrapping that up here and now. Moving on... In today's episode, I wrap up my thoughts on Physical 100 since I finished bingi...

Still working out a solid, consistent upload schedule, but here's one for you. Today's episode is split between two topics and are not really related. I talk about my very first modeling/photoshoot experience and how I think one can get their foot in the door into a modeling career. I share what I've learned and overall impressions of this path, but just so you know I'm a model so...

I'm back, what more can I say? Well, there's quite a bit actually. For now, I'm making my entrance back to podcasting, spilling some updates on what I've been up to and where I've been, and mostly talking about how truly challenging and depressing it is to figure out what it is you'd want to do for the rest of your life. Yes, we're talking about finding our passions and...

No real episode this week, but you get to "sit" in the passenger seat of my Toyota Prius, listen to my ramblings about my day, and enjoy the ride~

Enjoy~

Do you have no idea how to look for a comfortable, yet supportive walking/running shoe for any situation? As someone who knows his shoes and feet (not in a kinky way), as well as working with a plethora of individuals looking for the right shoe, it dawned on me that people don't know shoes even though it's something we wear virtually every day. Yeah we'll pick a shoe based off aesthetics and a sho...

Let's keep things short and juicy. In this episode, Joey is spilling tea on his experiences on working at a specialty running shop as a retail associate/outfitter, how that changed his outlook on potential careers, and customer interaction stories. Let's be honest, it's mostly venting and sharing juicy stories on working with a variety of customers.  ______________ S U B S C R I B E T O U S -...

The title says it all! Welcome back to you and me from what was a LONG unannounced hiatus. In today's episode, we're kinda reintroducing the podcast, but more so talking about new updates, going AWOL from the podcast, and life updates (oooo~ I wonder what kinda tea will be spilt this time).  Enjoy~ ______________ S U B S C R I B E T O U S - instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehalfofthis -...

Are you still feeling the feels from those Kdra... I mean from the love lingering since Valentines Day? I'll admit it, I've been feeling things because of KDramas these days, which made me recall my "first" romantic experience ever. However, this "first" is technically not true because although someone else liked me and I went what may seemed like dates, my stupendous oblivious butt was not aware...

Although Valentines Day is already over, I'm still feeling quite a bit of love in the air, or is it because I've been binging Kdramas lately? Whatever the case may be (it's definitely those Kdramas), I spent my Valentines Day alone and that has been a normal trend throughout my entire life. No one to give those elementary candy grams to, ask to be my Valentine in high school, or even someone to ta...

Did you know that men also have eating disorders? Though the answer may be obvious (btw it's yes), why don't we hear about it like we do with eating disorders among women? Although both genders experience similar situations with eating disorders, the factors and mindsets that play into this could be vastly different. Relative to women, there are many body types that have been normalized among men...

Since the pandemic began, hate crime against Asian Americans have become more prevalent and on the rise. We see this in many forms from racist insults to senseless acts of violence that are based on ignorance and irrational lines of thinking. What's even more tragic is that the rise in high-profile attacks against Asian Americans is occurring among the elderly. Unfortunately, these cases goes unhe...

Whenever we see our favorite athlete on the court, track, gym, or field, we aspire to become like them in their tenacity, success, mental fortitude, and positive outlook on life. However, that's not always the case for what the athlete is truly experiencing. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone just getting their toes wet into the fitness pool, we've experienced issues with our body im...

Crazy events are happening throughout the first month of the 2021 year, but a recent event has shown the power of the average persons against big time investors in Wall Street. Yes, I'm talking about the events involving redditors buying shares from Gamestop which resulted in a HUGE increase in value and screwed over investors who're short-selling and hedge funds in Wall Street by billions of doll...

I'm back from my one week break! Thank you all for waiting and I hope y'all had a wonderful last week. With new changes coming our way, as well as for the nation, I'm also making change for this podcast. Don't worry, it's not another name change or anything too drastic.  In today's episode, I'll be trying out a new format for episodes where I'll be speaking more freely and off the top of my h...

Happy Friday!!! Today's Morning Tea episode is unfortunately not what you'd expect.... After listening to the original episode that was suppose to be up today, I decided to scrap it because it felt wrong to him and his morals as a respectful human. As a result, there's not a whole lotta tea to spill today, BUT there is some! As a way to pay for my sin of not giving y'all a proper episode and annou...

Welcome back? Welcome to? Well, with this new year and some serious reflections, welcome to the NEW but same ol' podcast, the Half of This (aka HoT). Yes, Joey changed up the name for this show with good intentions and reasons that actually tie into imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is the feeling of being a phony and out of fear for being called out by others, we tend to overwork ourselves in...

It's the first Tuesday episode of 2021 and we are NOT off to a good start, or at least I hope we aren't. Many of us are happily setting up positive life changing new year's resolutions and are feeling the hype of 2021 (since we all know how 2020 went....). Though we're hyped for a new year and perhaps a new you, we mustn't get drunk off of the excitement and anticipation from embarking on this cam...

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! It's 2021 where all of us are hoping some goodness and positivity comes our way, especially with the vaccine distribution. Nonetheless we're welcoming 2021 with open arms while kicking 2020 off a cliff (too harsh? maybe not). So, let's set this first day of the year right with some Morning Tea and boy oh boy does Joey have some tasty, hot tea brewed up for you. In this week's Mo...

This is the last Tuesday episode of 2020 and Joey is not feeling it. Since he is recovering from a whimsical xmas marathon run, his energy levels are not matching the excitement for the new year filled with joy, resolutions, and vaccines. So to make it easy on the halfie himself, he is taking a personality test to see the kind of person he is that will be entering the new year. We're also breaking...

This Christmas, Joey is gifting you a new series on the Dwellyn Tiger Podcast called Morning Tea, uploaded every Friday! Warm up your morning and set the mood straight for the weekend with all the tea Joey spills on himself with college stories, dating experiences, thoughts on trending/controversial topics, and more.    Today, Joey will be sharing his sad experience attending a virtual dating even...

Last week's episode was maybe a bit too serious, but hopefully insightful. Towards the end, Joey did turn things around with his life and the episode where things ended more on a positive note! However, it wasn't really talked about all too much. So, this week's episode will continue off from last week where Joey talks more about how these podcasts and YouTube channels that he discovered helped hi...

We're finally nearing the end of a horrid year as we all (hopefully) wrap up on this covid business and look forward towards a new year, with vaccines!!! Many of us have gone through various experiences, some good, bad, and even ugly, that may have changed our lives one way or another. If you're like Joey, you probably had an overall terrible year dealing with depression, loneliness, and even fami...
