EP 5 - Shoes Off Inside with MKT "Asians and Mass Shootings, It's Complicated"

Shoes Off Inside with MKT (fka The May Lee Show)

In this latest episode of "Shoes Off Inside with MKT", May, Kelly and Tamlyn kick off the show with some hot topics on their minds. The use of Ozempic, a diabetic drug, by celebrities and others to lose weight has May hopping mad! Kelly reveals how she got ready to shoot an intimate scene for her TV show and shares the tricks of the trade. Tamlyn gives us a hint about what's she's been shooting for HBO Max.
But then things get very serious with writer and author Jeff Yang, who recently, in a New York Times opinion piece, addressed the mass shootings in California that were all perpetrated by older Asian men. These gunman didn't fit the "typical" profile of a mass shooter in the U.S. All the more reason to dig deeper into these tragic events and not dismiss them as "just another shooting". We wanted to better understand the complexity of what could have led to these shootings, including mental health and Asians, cultural divides, socio-economic differences, marginalization within API communities and the biggest issue of all, guns. These are heavy topics that need to be addressed openly and honestly with people who are willing to tackle them head on. May, Kelly, Tamlyn and Jeff do it together in this episode.
