      <title>episode 1: popcorn reading ruined our lives (kinda)</title>
      <description>Popcorn reading in class wasn’t just awkward — it was a full-blown identity crisis with a side of public humiliation. Chad (Korean and White) survived by becoming the “funny Asian kid” with over-the-top accents, while Ryan (Black and Chinese) got stuck reading the n-word in front of the whole class like it was some weird rite of passage. Childhood was wild. These days, they’ve learned to turn those cringe moments into comedy for everyone to enjoy.</description>
