Sure, we looked at this comic back in episode 562, but maybe that was actually another version of us and this is brand new? We're back with Shen's (and Megan McKay's and Dave Mercier's) Live With Yourself! and it's just as fun and insane as we (or our other selves) remembered. Jason really enjoyed getting to know all the characters that Steve had already made friends with months ago. Join them and make these loveable weirdos your friends, too!
Yep, she has that effect on people. Artist consultant, Pennylane Shen, is back and she's sharing the four biggest reasons people cry when she shows up in their studio.
Mason and Tahnee come together on the podcast today, to take a dive deep into the wonders of Qi, the second Treasure in the Taoist system. In the West most of us are familiar with the concept of Qi being energy, however the Taoists understood Qi in a more expansive context. Today we're excited to explore the philosophy and application of the Qi Treasure and to introduce our SuperFeast family to our new baby - The QI blend! Tune in to get the full download and learn how these beautiful Qi herbs can help you activate your potential and feel truly vibrant.
Tahnee and Mason explore:
-Classical Chinese Medicine vs modern acupuncture application and diagnoses.
-Qi as a force present in all things, tonic herbs included.
-Dis-ease as a manifestation of blocked/stagnant Qi - "the only time we get ill is when our Qi is blocked" - Tahnee
-Inherited physical, emotional and mental patterns as factors that can interfere with an individual's free flow of Qi.
-Personal practice and Qi cultivation.
-Constitutional typing and Five Element Theory.
-The new SuperFeast QI blend.
-The relationship between Qi and Blood.
-The Taoist concept of humans being the bridge between heaven and earth.
-The Three Treasures; Jing, Qi and Shen.
-Qi as a subtle but transformational force.
-The self healing capacity of the body.
-When and how to use the QI blend.
-Wei Qi and external environmental pathogens.

After leaving her corporate job in 2008, Chef Shen launched into the Singapore F&B scene by setting up shop at a hawker centre to sell Nasi Lemak. With 11 years of experience and a slew of lessons learnt along the way, the Ownselfmakechef private home dining chef shares her guiding philosophy on food and interesting food facts in relation to the history of the world.
"Fusion in cuisine does not exist. When was the tomato introduced to Italy? In the 14th century. When were chillies brought into Asia? Where were they from? They're not from Asia…There is no line…I think to be relevant as a chef, in any field actually, we have to keep an open mind, that we constantly look ahead whilst remembering the past and being in the present." – Shen Tan (15:07)
That's just one of the bits of bullsh*t we'll be discussing with artist consultant / magical guide, Pennylane Shen. She's calling out the excuses and lies artists tell themselves. Brace yourself.
This week features a comic with time travel that's so fun, your nose will bleed! Or your older self might die! But don't worry, he'll come back. Shen, with help from Megan McKay and Dave Mercier, brings us Live With Yourself, a Multiplicity-like with heart and zany, doppelganger-infused hijinx that tells the story of Todd and his three friends, himself, himself, and himself. You don't need more than one of yourself to enjoy this comic, though!
Anyone who wishes to achieve financial independence needs to start taking the appropriate steps as soon as possible. The earlier in your life you start, the sooner you will reach a point where you no longer need a paycheck. That’s when you know you can retire and start enjoying life full time!
There is a growing movement now in the world called FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) that argues against the idea that you can’t or shouldn’t retire before age 65. Its members advocate for an early start towards savings and investment, in order to reach financial independence sooner and retire early.
Two of the biggest champions of this movement are Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung, who managed to build a net worth of over $1 million and retire at age 31 to travel the world and live a nomadic lifestyle. That’s why in this episode of the podcast I talk to them about their new book, how it came about, and how you too can quit like a millionaire!

Today at SuperFeast headquarters, Mason and Tahnee talk all things Daoist (Taoist) tonic herbalism. What the heck is Daoism? Don’t worry, by the end of this discussion, you’ll be all over this ancient philosophy (especially when it comes to herbal practice!). SuperFeast prides itself on respecting the ancient tradition of tonic herbalism that emerged through the Orient, respecting the ancient wisdom from those before us. Mason and Tahnee dive deep into how the ancient tonic herbalists lived and how we, the modern human, can learn and incorporate these practices into our daily lifestyles. Exactly how does our current Western lifestyle affect us? The lifestyle which disturbs our circadian rhythms and promotes us being out of flow with the natural cycles of nature? Short answer - degeneration and ageing; we’re here to change that. Listen to join us on this mission.
In this episode you will learn:
- Daoist tonic herb philosophy.
- What Qi is and how it animates you.
- Transformation through these herbs.
- Macrocosm vs microcosm of herbalism.
- Why an adaptable mind allows for epic health.
- Why longevity isn’t an overnight phenomenon.
- The formula for good Qi flowing through the body.
- Why women should have as much sex as they like.
- How to prevent having “flabby” immune systems.
- How to become a ‘somanaut’ through the tonic herbs.
- Why separation from nature is the root cause of illness.
- Why we’re dropping reishi bombs of consciousness around the world.
- Tonic herbs are multi-directional and their benefits accumulate over time.
- One of the missing links in Western philosophy, the energetics of herbs.
- Why we search for the path of least resistance in health and herbal practice.
- We provide good quality, epic, non-irradiated wild herbs - based on Di Dao (Di Tao) principles.
- Quick overview of the three treasures Qi, Jing and Shen - more in future episodes!

This week, we are getting back to our roots. Some of the earliest podcasts we did were on the huaben (話本) story. The very first podcast we posted (we recorded others before, but we canned them because they weren't good enough) was a huaben that we called Of Gods and Telescopes. We also did the gender-bending huaben Male Mencius' Mother and Jiang Xingge's Pearl-Sown Shirt. The huaben is just a kind of short story from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Huaben operate in a karmic universe where bad deeds are punished and good deeds rewarded.
In today's podcast, we look at the Feng Menglong story, "Shen Xiu and his Bird Causes 7 Deaths." The story starts with a rich layabout, Shen Xiu, who is always out playing with his bird. While he is out, Shen Xiu collapses and Zhang, a cooper, sees him lying there with his bird. He decides to steal the bird, but Shen Xiu comes to, so Zhang kills Shen Xiu and sells the bird. Afterwards, several more people die in this trail of horrors. The question that Rob and Lee argue over is whether or not a moral balance is restored to the universe.
