EP 22: Joseph Nguyen aka The Hangry Pedaler - 30 Years Later: Childhood Friends Reunite to Talk Food, Bikes & Life

This week’s episode is a special one. I head up to Northwest Arkansas — Tontitown to be exact — to reconnect with someone I haven’t talked to in 30 years: my old childhood friend, Joseph Nguyen, also known as the Hangry Pedaler.Joseph has lived a few lives since we were kids. These days he’s a manicurist, cyclist, husband, father, and the food-obsessed creator behind Hangry Pedaler, documenting the best bites around Northwest Arkansas. But before all that… we were just two kids running around and figuring life out.In this episode we try to cram three decades of life into one hour, which means the conversation goes everywhere. We reminisce about the old days — childhood memories, hanging around Sam's Club, and the simple fun of putt-putt golf and arcade games. Then we jump into adult life: becoming a first-time dad, marriage, cycling through Arkansas, and of course… food.A lot of food.We talk burgers, pizza, bánh mì, and basically every meal that has crossed Joseph’s mind as a food blogger. Along the way we somehow detour into first iPhones, Thailand ladyboys, home interest rates, taxes, and a hundred other random topics.It’s nostalgic, chaotic, and hilarious — exactly what happens when old friends finally catch up.Be sure to check out Joseph on his Instagram: and check out her podcast:📸 ⁠⁠⁠@hangrypedalernwa🙂 And don't forget to snag your Walmak gear at ⁠⁠⁠AlwaysWalmak.com⁠⁠⁠✌️ And follow me on IG at: ⁠⁠⁠walmak.podcast-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tập 22: Joseph Nguyễn – 30 năm tình bạn và Hành trình của "Hangry Pedaler"Tập phim đặc biệt này đưa tôi trở lại Arkansas để kết nối với người bạn thời thơ ấu sau 30 năm xa cách: Joseph Nguyễn.
