Did a Flat Iron Steak/Burger joint take over your favorite neighbourhood joint? Are you wondering where they all came from? How they popped up in Soho out of nowhere? You're not alone! It a typcial Ho Ho Hong Kong fashion, we chose to do zero research, and instead, we dove into the deep end of the conspiracy pool! We're joined this week by a a special guest, the hilarious and gorgeous comedian, Annie Louey!

It's a meaty (and late) episode this week. Vivek reviews "Vission Nine,"  Vission Bakery's new cake shop. We got through the history of the Laugh Festival all the way up to the huge gala attended by an audience of over 1000 people this year, and Mohammed flies to Egypt last minute, and he may have accidentally started a riot on the plane on the way back to Hong Kong.

Couple petpeeves? We got plenty. Couples in-jokes. What could be more fun? Mohammed has been with Annie for a year, while Vivek has been with his girlfriend Gloria for 8 years. We compare notes!

The live standup shows are popping, and this past weekend we had one of our best shows for a while, all thanks to the audience. We chat about what makes a particular audience better than others, and we try to answer some important questions: How open-minded do we want to be as parents? Were we unlucky to not have an accessible ADHD diagnosis when we were kids? Why is smoking so goddamn cool?

Ho Ho Hong Kong, your reliable Hong Kong news source, is back with this week's news scoop: We got newborn panda twin cubs! Two non-Americans "weigh in" on who they would vote for at the American elections, why YUU Points is the worst loyalty program in the world, and, everyone is welcome to Hong Kong if they can afford it.

Lan Kwai Fong is Hong Kong's most famous street and the city's main party hub. It's ever-changing, yet always the same. We chat about the iconic street, its snacks, its famous 7-11s, and, most importantly, its crowds. Have the international school kids taken over? Are we too old and jaded? We walked through "Lan Kwai" the other night, and we have thoughts!

We sit down with Malaysian comedian Kuah Jenhan, who was performing his show "Noted With Thanks" in Hong Kong over the weekend with Backstage Comedy. We cover a wide range of topics, from Feng Shui, why the Malaysian ringgit seems to be always crashing, to why Malaysians like haggling so much and does Vivek always "get it"?

The Olympics kicked off in Paris, and with them, we got to learn about games we never knew existed. We are Team Hong Kong all the way. Vivian Kong already scored Hong Kong's first gold medal at fencing, or "épée"? Let's be honest, we are all just waiting for Siobhan Haughey to win big.
