Episode 14 is all about going down… in the comment section! We dive into some touchy subjects like representation in the Fil-Am community, being called HALF-BREEDS, and Filipino vs. Fil-Am Values.

Why do some Filipinos in the Motherland view Filipino-Americans as “clout-chasers” who only claim their “Filipino-ness” when it is convenient or when they can benefit from it?

We’re talking about Crab Mentality Pt. 2 because this cluster of coconuts just doesn’t end . We tackled this in Episode 6: Filipino vs. Filipino but we wanted to bring up the confusing, unfortunate take for Fil-Ams, “Why aren’t we considered Filipino enough?”

In the season premiere of Season 2, we talk all about manifestation and all the ways you can create the most wonderful life.

In the SEASON FINALE of "Cracking the Coconut," we do things a little different. This episode's topic? EVERYTHING! We pull topics out of a coconut and shoot the sh*t.

Traditions and Filipinos go hand in hand, and in this episode we talk all about our own family traditions and other popular traditions in the Filipino Community.

As kids, our parents, grandparents, and any elder would tell us universal ideas and pass them off as truths. Some ideas were harmless and are now comical to think about, while others were toxic and were the mind bombs that completely shifted our perspectives.

We’re switching up the tempo and discussing a topic that’s near and dear to our hearts. With over 13 years combined working in the entertainment industry, we’ve attained priceless experience, learned many lessons and gained countless memories.

For a community that is known for their warm welcomes, hospitality and their famous, “Hello, Mamsir!” greeting, why are Filipinos so selective on the individuals and groups they choose to support?

Brown is beautiful… or is it? In the Filipino community darker skin is frowned upon, while light skin is celebrated. In episode 5 of CRACKING THE COCONUT, we discuss the billion dollar skin-lightening industry, brown face in Filipino films, and our own skin-deep experiences.

Growing up Filipino-American has its ups and downs. In episode 4 of CRACKING THE COCONUT, Carla Jay and Jasmine dive into some crazy expectations they experienced.

Getting scammed f*cking sucks, and we never think we’d fall victim to trickery and deception.

When four white guys opened a wine-bar in DC, they decided to appropriate and water down an endearing Filipino term. SMH!

Carla Jay & Jasmine kick off the premiere of their brand new podcast, Cracking the Coconut.
