Exactly what’s in the name:
two bros (literally) talking about politics, international relations, geopolitics, societal and socio-economic questions and challenges.
We happen to be politics geeks and numerous universities recklessly gave us postgrad and PhD degrees. We also have long consultancy and think tank careers in Southeast Asia, where we have both lived for decades. We are both right and left, sometimes; conservative at times and very liberal at others.
But because we ain’t no boring geeks, though, we also talk about cool stuff that interests us:
Living in Asia, fighting, sports, men’s health, supplements (both casual and ”Mexican” supplements) and more.
We are Dr Frederick Kliem and Jan Kliem, two brothers, lifelong combat sports enthusiasts and active grapplers, MMA and Muay Thai and Boxing practitioners.Jan is a black belt in BJJ, Fred brown.
No BS politics, martial arts, unarmed combat and pro fighting. No jargon, non-pretentious, no ideology and non-partisan.
We do this podcast mostly for us, to catch up between Singapore (Fred) and Thailand (Jan) on a regular basis. Recording our conversation is supposed to prevent us from getting off the rails and making inappropriate comments (…it helps at least)
We hope you will find our perspectives stimulating and interesting, perhaps infuriating and annoying. Either way, please reach out in the comments and have a civil discussion.
