Interview with "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" Steven He | HAIYAA #18

A very special guest joins Nigel on the show this week. Steven He has been killing it with his YouTube channel and blew up around the same time as Nigel. They catch up about the difficulties of breaking into acting, whether or not they should do their “Asian” accents for entertainment and why Uncle Roger is the superhero stopping Western chefs from fucking up Asian food.
