The Honest Drink是一个每周更新的英语访谈节目，由三位在中国的美籍华人主持。我们讨论自我完善、社会、东西方文化和生活方式等话题。我们经常有专家嘉宾来参加我们的节目，聆听他们的经验和想法。当然，我们每集都喝好酒！我是THD播客的主持人Justin。我经常和另外两位Howie和Aric一起主持这个节目。我的酒馆对你不打烊... Not the most sober podcast, but for sure the most candid and honest. Three American-born friends in China candidly explore a wide variety of provocative topics over drinks. They invite all types of experts onto the show as they make attempts at self-improvement, reducing misconceptions, reflecting on the madness of society and all the trappings of being human. Trading small talk for real talk as they stumble their way towards becoming happier, healthier and wiser.

David Ammerschlaeger: Artificially Human

Épisode 1

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:35:01

David Ammerschlaeger is a clinical psychologist and Chief psychological counselor at ChingHo Medical Clinic in Shanghai. Today we talk about whether humanity will be ok. We discuss AI, technology and their effects on people’s thinking and relationships. We talk about the “validation vortex”, learned ADHD, and consciousness. We also talk about AI companions, sex-bots, and the hyper-sexualization of society. We discuss the dire consequences of outsourcing our decision-making to technology, the difficulty so many people are having with intimate relationships, and not losing connection to nature, ourselves, and each other.

Yaling Jiang: Through Chinese Eyes

Épisode 2

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:38:52

Yaling Jiang is a writer and researcher helping people understand China through real individuals, rather than through headlines or stereotypes. Yaling is a former journalist and translator and founder of the popular newsletter Following the Yuan. She is also the founder of the research and strategy consultancy ApertureChina. Today, Yaling joins us to talk about what it really means to explain China to the outside world—and why seeing Chinese people as individuals matters. We talk about what it’s like to have your country, your culture, and your own identity be misunderstood. We also talk about the growing desire among Chinese women to have more control over the lives they choose to live. We talk about dating, marriage, motherhood, gender expectations and the fear of becoming “leftover”. We explore how younger generations are challenging traditional norms and whether China’s changing social attitudes are pointing toward a more equal future. We also talk about the loneliness of a world that feels increasingly divided, and Yaling’s hope that we can learn to see each other as individuals rather than stereotypes. It’s a conversation about identity, agency, belonging—and the fragile hope that we might find our way back to each other.

Mike Pistilli: A Positive Influence

Épisode 3

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:55:50

Mike Pistilli (麦霹雳) is a fitness professional, social-media influencer, mental health advocate and NASM Certified Personal Trainer. He is known on Chinese platforms as 麦霹雳 or Coach Mike. Having worked across Chinese and Western fitness cultures, Mike brings a practical, positive and unusually candid perspective to health, body image and online influence. Today we talk about China's changing culture around fitness, social media personalities and society. We talk about why fitness has become a new status symbol, and how social-media rules shape what creators can responsibly share. We also discuss mental-health stigma, happiness, the pressure of algorithms, the double standards facing male and female creators, and Mike's new VR fitness and mental-health project, FunFitland. Mike explains how his own experience of growing up insecure shaped his coaching philosophy, and why his personal rule is to leave people feeling more positive than when he met them.

Cyrus Janssen is a YouTuber and speaker on China and the world. Today we talk about countering fear-driven narratives about other countries, being a “global citizen”, and its impact on how we engage or disengage with the rest of the world.

Cyrus also describes how he was recently offered $10,000 US dollars to lie to his viewers, and how the money was ultimately traced back to perhaps the most recognizable AI company in the world.

Julie Sun: Love Practically

Épisode 7

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:41:23

Julie Sun is a brand marketer and content creator who creates English content on Instagram and TikTok as, “Julie your China friend”, explaining Chinese culture and dating to foreigners. Having worked in international marketing across the world, her sociological research has brought her traveling to over 30 countries, often by herself. Now she uses her voice to introduce modern China to a Western audience, providing an honest perspective on Chinese society, dating and everyday life. Today we talk about modern society and the search for our place in it. We talk about when after receiving countless messages from foreign men asking her to help them find a Chinese wife, Julie found herself researching China's matchmaking industry—and what she discovered raised difficult questions about love, practicality, immigration, family expectations, and whether the search for the "perfect partner" has become one of the defining struggles of our generation. We talk about differences between Western and Chinese communication styles, criticism and social norms around hugging, staying friends with exes, and saying “I love you”. We also get into marriage customs like cai li or dowry, financial independence, and the quarter-life crisis.

Eric Hovagim: The New American Dream

Épisode 8

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:51:06

Eric Hovagim is an American content creator, industrial engineer and political commentator who, in his own words, “moved to China in late 2025 to escape the American Century of Humiliation”. He’s worked in politics in his home state of Arizona and in New York City, producing a handful of videos that helped get Zohran Mamdani elected NYC mayor in 2025. Recently, Eric has been producing content for popular political commentator, Hasan Piker. He was also previously part of a climate-policy think tank in the US and an engineer on the Hyperloop team. Today, we talk about why Eric is here in China and what he hopes to learn. He shares his frustrations with the state of affairs in the US and the crisis of the American dream. He argues the need for revolutionary change and optimism as we talk about what he’s observing and studying from his experience in China that he could one day bring back to America. We also talk about societal fear, AI concerns, Eric’s self-identification as a socialist and what annoys him being here. We share plenty of laughs in an otherwise serious discussion, and we might also have offended all French people.

Raffe, BT & Dino: To Live and Die in Shanghai pt.2

Épisode 9

mardi 16 juin 2026 • Durée 01:24:59

Raffe is the owner of Cantina Agave, the very first Mexican restaurant in Shanghai. Today he is joined by some old friends, BT and Dino on the podcast, as we celebrate Cantina’s 18th anniversary and the launch of his new restaurant, Vice. We talk about why he’s stayed in Shanghai and discuss the constant pressure to keep up with this unique city, the challenges of running F&B amid unpredictable rules and high turnover, and how the city shifted from “wild east” days to stricter, safer, more equal enforcement. We compare Shanghai’s convenience and safety with rising costs, crime, and lenient enforcement in the U.S., especially LA, and talk about perspective, media-driven fear, and cultural adaptation. We talk about a renaissance in Shanghai’s dining scene, social media’s impact, and Cantina’s clientele flipping to 70% local Chinese. We also end the episode with a blindfolded taco taste test that doesn’t go as planned.
