The RICE Club

The two ICE officers accused of killing Alex Pretti have been identified as two Hispanic men. Some are calling them race traitors, but is that a helpful framework to guide our resistance against the Trump agenda?

People love to make rules for others but don't apply them consistently.

Is it possible to break free from a society so focused on personal and racial identity?

Donald Trump is the now the 47th President of the United States and the Democrats are doing the same thing all over again.

Tokyo was amazing, but not everything leading up to it was. In this episode, I’m diving into the gatekeeping behavior I experienced before and after my trip.

Vincent visits Tokyo for the first time!

The Helldivers 2 community is quickly becoming a toxic mess with how critical players are of nerfs. I'll share my thoughts on why "never nerf only buff" is detrimental to the game. Intro by lukrembo. Outro generated by badbeans Sorry for the poor audio quality.

Vince starts the process of redoing his wardrobe but it's a challenging task.

I discuss the new GTAVI trailer that dropped in December 2023 and share my thoughts on what I want to see in the new GTA game.

Special guest Amy joins Vincent to discuss how she uses RICE in her life.

Ryan and Vince talk about how we utilize RICE in our lives. *Note* The audio quality is a bit fuzzy since I had issues with the editing.

I talk about the fall and decline of the Bay Area social group, Subtle Asians Bae Area.

Is there a right way to critique a piece of an entertainment? Does it actually work? Can it go too far? I try to answer these questions.

My initial thoughts of Company of Heroes 3, a World War II RTS game.

I break down three solid games with flaws limiting my desire to return to them.

Ryan and Vince are back with another episode of RICE Cycle!

I share my thoughts and complaints about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

I discuss the limits of antiracism and it's connection to recent crimes affecting Asians. Note: I made a mistake at around 23:48. I mentioned that a white college dropout was 15 times more likely to be in prison than a Black college graduate. This statistic actually pertains to white high school dropouts rather than white college dropouts. You can find the statistic at https://catalyst-journal.com...

A critique on contemporary notions of allyship and politics of self-reflection

How did we get here and how do we get out? I believe economic conditions and a highly polarized media environment paved the way for the storming of the US Capitol. It will take a left agenda and strong relationships built on solidarity and common cause that will help us avoid further disaster.

It's that time already?

Ryan and Vince talk about the (still undecided at time of posting) presidential election. 

Your two favorite hosts are back to talk RICE, politics, and the presidential debates!

The first presidential debate was a national embarrassment. Regardless of who wins the general election, politics devoid of a working class program fosters the growth of right-wing forces. 

We're back with another episode of RICE Cycle! Indulge your ears.
