(00:01):
So I reiterate here, the bill isdead.
The story of this great city is about the years before this
night. We are free.
Hey everyone it's Ho Ho Hong Kong with me, Vivek Mahbubani
(00:24):
and my Co house. Who is?
Ahmed. McGee that's where we're back
here again with another episode.This time if you are die hard
fans, you might be thinking like, hold on a second,
something feels a bit different.First of all I have a muffled
voice because my nose is semi blocked, my throat is very
tired. We were partying last night.
Exactly. Yeah, we were hosting the
Aftermath 6th birthday party last night at the Aftermath.
(00:46):
Coincidentally partying in your own place.
They literally party where they shit and eat.
Yes, it's a basement, so you have no idea what's happening
after a while. Is it like, is this a party?
Is this is everyone hanging out?It was a lot of fun.
It was actually, I guess you, you used to have a band for a
long time. So what are you?
What are you? Are you still sensitive to like
(01:06):
loud noise or? Not so much now.
I think I've really outgrown it to the point where I'm not like,
I want to be there and just likeboogies and everything.
I'm like, I'm good because I really feel that my line of
work, I have to listen to so much stuff in general that
actually like for me to enjoy. I need like a little quiet.
Yes, yeah. That's what I felt as well.
Yeah. And we had to go in and out a
(01:27):
lot, not only because we're hosting, but also you can't say
through like 45 minutes of four bands.
And it's loud. Yes, loud.
It's all I can say. And the respect to there is a
lot of like, Gray haired people in the audience.
I'm like, how are you doing it? Are we just this old?
What is happening? I did see an older couple and I
was like, well, they're really, they're staying till the end.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty impressive.
(01:48):
Hey, I don't know man, maybe nowadays there's a certain
formula where the Benjamin buttoning in it where they're
actually like trying to use thistype of serum that they look old
when they're young and they get.Going back to Brian Johnson, the
guy who doesn't die, yeah, maybehe is actually onto something.
This might be. Yeah, he's like, is you, if you
do the things young people do, your body will get tricked.
And The thing is so young. Yes, you know, and it won't do
the aging. Oh, it's time to creak those,
(02:09):
those, you know, joints. It's like, well, they're still
young, let's do this. I I think ironically what people
are doing, they like if you're old enough and you are going to
a gig like this, you are definitely messing up something
in your ear. I don't think it's helping your
health to be that like, to stay in a place that noisy.
Maybe. Maybe it's also like one of
(02:30):
those things that they are hard of hearing already.
Yes, this is the only thing theycan hear.
True that you need the music to be really loud.
Yeah, So you can be like, oh, sothat's what a guitar sounds
like. I completely forgot until they
played this. Yeah.
They couldn't get, like, super speakers in their home.
Yeah. Neighbors would knock on the
door, of course. Yeah.
They kind of actually put an amplified in the middle of the
street, you know that stuff. Now they're like, like, this is
(02:50):
the one place I can find here's something.
So they had the reverse thing where like, my kind of pieces,
my my break is when I get peace.Yeah.
They've had a whole week of justsilence.
Yes. And then like finally some
sound. Something is happening.
Yeah, here's some light jazz. Wait, you live with Gloria?
Do you have the whole like how long into the relationship when
you just started like not hearing each other?
(03:12):
Who are you talking about? Because, you know, like, it's a
thing. What I think with, like, couples
of people living together in general, yeah, that after a
while it feels like someone is hard of hearing, but it's
actually just like, like the whole time is like, you know
what? Yeah.
Yeah, you have. A lot of that what what did you?
Say, I think not so much, mostlybecause the house is number one
small yes #2 is that I think maybe from just growing up, I've
(03:34):
always been the more alert by default guy right and hence why
whenever she says anything I'm I'm actually like always semi
paying attention to it. Yes, he's actually not good
because I'm always distracted. Whatever.
However, I think no, no, it would be missing out the full
sentence. Like my my I would now just.
Tune out in the middle of this. Yeah, yeah, You're like, all
right, this is boring. It's not.
It's basically skipping the words like the of zombies, I
(03:58):
think, right. I'm like just OK, that's what
you want. Yeah, you know, like you.
Just want to get to the point quickly.
Yeah, I think it'll be a good idea if maybe today for coffee,
we can do this at 4:00 PM, so wehave a bit more time to clear
out the house. Yeah, I just heard coffee, 4:00
PM clear house. OK, that's.
Fine. And of course you respond to
ways. I get it.
Yeah, yeah, I have. Like sure.
OK, I get. It Yeah, I got, I got bills to
(04:19):
pay. So let's get on with this.
Yeah, yeah. What about you, Carl?
What about you? I think the few times that I
stayed with someone for long enough, it does feel like at
some point, like you almost knowwhat they're going to say.
Yeah, at the beginning of the sentence.
And they're still getting to it.You're like you're.
Still getting to it. Yeah.
So. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's like, for example, here's something from the
kitchen and you already know it's about the dishes.
(04:41):
I'm like, OK, it's. I can safely assume if you're
just saying the dishes are piling up again.
So I'm like, OK, yeah. But then unfortunately I still
wanna hear everything because italmost feels like you're missing
out or maybe like you're gonna get the wrong message.
So as opposed to you like, no, Iknow exactly.
The message is clear from me. I'm like, what?
So you end up throwing with a what?
And then you're like. Say it again.
(05:02):
Yeah, yeah, say it again. Yeah, that happens.
I don't know, like maybe that's just the defaulting.
People get to a point in your life.
The older you get, the less you want to notice because there's
so many things coming towards you.
Exactly. Yeah.
And I have actually the other thing that is funny, like my dog
has been not scientific, medically diagnosed with panic
(05:25):
disorder, which is hilarious. My dog has a mental condition.
So you are basically the therapyanimal for your dog.
Yes, exactly. She completely reversed roles.
She's supposed to be my therapy dog now.
I'm the therapy human. So what happens is that for the
last like 10 days or so, she would just wouldn't be settled
at night. Every night, she's like, from
(05:46):
4:00 AM to, like, 8:00 or 9:00 AM, just like, she doesn't bark,
but she's, like, clawing at everything.
She's basically just wants me towake up.
Yeah. And just wants me to comfort
her. But I can't even do that because
if I take her on the couch and she's not allowed in bed, but
when I take her to the couch and, like, try to comfort her,
she's still, like, not settled. Yeah.
But even though I'm close to physically holding her, she's
just, like, wants to, like, freak out.
(06:07):
And apparently it's because of the noise outside.
And it's not even that noisy, but there is still like some
noise. I said like the lady, the
trolley lady or whatever. So anyway, I took her to the
vet, yeah. And the vet basically gave her
like equivalent of dog Xanax. Oh wow.
Yeah. So she's like, oh chill now.
Yeah, that's the funny part. She's jogged up a lot at home.
Like she still like walks aroundand stuff, and obviously it
(06:29):
wears out. It wears off towards like the
evening and then you have to drug it up again.
Yeah, but now I'm like, OK, now the dog is on drugs.
Yeah, like what the fuck? What have you got yourself into,
man? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah. It's it's wild.
She's 7. Like, you're not.
But like, apparently as they grow older, their sleeping
patterns change anyway. Yeah, but because she's
specifically sensitive to noise.Then OK, I'm curious how how
(06:53):
much would it take for you to bewilling to literally pick up and
move somewhere for her sake? Well, that's the thing, someone
else said the. Same thing, you know, Hey, she's
a, she's a greenery dog. She needs to be, you know,
amongst the bushes and stuff. I, I don't think it's possible
now anyway because of work and everything, but I think knowing
(07:14):
her well, it's going to be, she's still going to find
something to freak out about because it's just her nature.
She's a very anxious dog. Yes, too many trees.
But actually the main thing is pigeons and pigeons, it can't
really escape, especially in nature.
It's actually going to get worse.
Yeah. So you know, like the like, you
know, land on the AC unit outside or whatever.
And she's like. And so, so actually in nature,
(07:36):
it could be worse. The only thing is that the
nature can help her, like exert her energy more.
So you can just like chase whatever around.
Yeah. Yeah.
So that could be better. And obviously I exercise her and
take her for long walks and stuff, but it's, it's just like,
crazy to think like, oh, now thedog is on drugs.
Yeah. And.
You never imagined. Yeah, you don't imagine.
Counseling sessions. Yep so every like week pretty
(07:58):
much you have to go to the vet to like renew the prescription
yeah yeah, yeah and it's like it's it's a crazy but like I I
told the vet as well, like I need to sleep.
Whatever you think should happenjust put them all in her face
yeah I don't care anymore. I.
Need to sleep? Damn, so it's it's pigeons.
Now what is mostly pigeons? Yes.
All right, here's a different type of therapy you can
(08:20):
consider. All right, You take your dog to,
like, the roast meat shop, specifically Young Key.
Yes. Or wherever that they sell roast
pigeons. Yes.
All right. Yeah.
And you literally, like, buy a pigeon.
Actual live pigeon. Yeah.
You show your dog the pigeon, Right.
She took an addict. That's what they call exposure
therapy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then real quick, like a magic trick, you put a cloth
(08:41):
over the pigeon. Yeah.
And you whip out the cloth and there's a roasted pigeon.
And then the dog eats it. Yes.
The dog's like I have conquered it.
Yes, dude, that's not a bad idea, I know.
Man, I mean, like if she does that and for all you know, she
might be like, that's all I needed to know that I still can
have power of these. Yes.
The next time the pigeons go, whoa, whatever they do, yeah,
it'd all be a fast asleep yes. I don't know, man.
(09:03):
I think I think that could work.We back the Dog Whisperer
exactly, having never owned the dog.
The number of times I've gone upto a bitch and getting like
bitch. I think it's not about it.
I have to run it past the vet. But also the roasted pigeon.
They can't eat like stuff that has like a lot of spices with
salt or whatever grease. Just go straight up just.
(09:24):
Have to like just get her like aboiled one.
Basically I'm sure you can buy like just.
The Yeah, the raw one. And then you boil it.
Yeah. And there's a cleaver to her.
And like, let her watch it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like maybe put it in the in the microwave or something or the
oven. She's watching all the time,
watching go from like raw and the cookies, like, OK, I see
what's happening here. Yes.
Like what you do. I.
Fly around the oven of it, yeah.Go on YouTube, look for let's
(09:44):
say pigeon video collage. Yes, right.
Pigeon for dogs, yeah. Something like that, right.
And you play that video, there'sa whole bunch of different
random pigeons flying around. Yes yeah.
The dogs losing her shit. Yeah.
So. Oh my God.
I can't give her like 5 minutes of that.
She's just like traumatized as shit.
Yeah. And then quickly while she's
like not dazed and going like, Idon't know what's going on.
I can't handle them overdose. You move her to a little oven or
(10:07):
anything? Yeah.
Do you have an oven? Yeah, yeah.
It's like that. The, the, the, the desk one.
Yeah. Immediately put her in front,
there's already pitched inside and you switch it on.
Yeah so she's still thinking okay, rectangle shape.
That was the screen I was. Also not that smart, so yes you
can easily. Check her, hey don't, she can
have feelings, okay? She has feelings.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right. So now she's looking at this
thing like I see some resemblance of this rectangle
(10:29):
shape. Previously we were watching all
these pigeons traumatize me in this rectangle shape.
This thing is also within the rectangle shape.
I see the connection here. But the difference is this one
is not moving. This one, if anything, is
starting to smell really fragrant.
And the girl like wait a second and then all of a sudden she has
thing her brain has the idea of like wait a second, something
seems good. You open up the.
(10:49):
Oven she's like, hold on a second that pigeon is not moving
anymore. There's no whatever they do and
the next thing you know there's a bowl pigeon in it.
Dog goes munch and dogs like. This is it.
This is it. I conquered it.
That's right, this is. And that is how we have the dog
equivalent of the Batman. Yes, first.
Taste of your victory. Over.
(11:10):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, this is, this is all a
very long winded way to go back to the aftermath where the
noise. Yeah, it was so that.
Yeah, exactly. Also one thing that happened in
the aftermath, we were introducing the bands and we
were given a line up, the rundown of the night and we we
brought out a band, We were announcing a band.
(11:32):
It was on the lineup that was the next band on.
The lineup. So we were saying the next band
is the. Lockouts.
Lockouts. And turns out the next band was
not the lockout it was. House plans House.
Plans, Yeah. So those are two different bands
in Hong Kong. Everyone.
Maybe someone is listening, It'sfamiliar with them.
So the lockouts are standing in front of us and their local
(11:54):
band, I think, like they're all Asian guys and people.
And the house plans are just white people in green charts.
Yeah, Yes. And the house plans were quite
mad that the lockouts were announced.
Yeah. And the lockouts are just having
no expression. They.
Understand that we as well, we're getting ready for the
lockouts. Lockouts are off stage and
(12:15):
they're having drinks going like, yeah, we don't care.
We just said you're banning. They probably think that's why
it's another band called Lockouts.
That's how things go, right? And Hong Kong is such a big
place. Yes, we have two bands of the
same, of course. Yes.
So yeah, the house plans are behind us off stage going.
No, it's us, and we're both comparing the.
Notes and we both have the same thing saying house plans so
(12:36):
saying lockouts is next. No, actually, I have lockouts.
They have house plans. Yeah, so someone messed up.
Someone messed up, someone needed to go to the vet, yes,
and get some sort of drugs. Yes, exactly.
But house plans are I don't. So we asked them why did you why
are you a houseplant? Yeah, and I don't think we got a
(12:57):
real answer. We did not.
It was just got like they all have like green shirts with like
monstera leaves on everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just something green, like over green for Plant to see what I've
seen. I I think what must have
happened. I see.
You must understand artists workin a very special way.
They can spend the 24 hours trying to think of a band name
already. They spend the 24 hours creating
great music. Yes.
And this band was like, I will not spend more than one minute.
(13:19):
Creating good. Music.
Yeah. Oh, that is all.
That is all. We're assuming that if they if
they spend only one minute on the band name, yes, the other
minutes would be on good music. OK, alright.
However, the one minute on the band name does not equal that
they spend the next 59 minutes on the good music either.
Yeah, yes. But we do know that that's gonna
be like, you know, the house plants thing, probably from what
I could tell us, that they were sitting one day, guys, what do
(13:40):
you want to call us? Call our names.
And they probably were like, Oh my God, the Discovery ferries
about leave in 10 minutes. Yeah, we better come with
something quick. And they realize it takes 9
minutes to walk to the ferry period.
And then we have one minute figure something out.
So the first thing that our eyeslike we sat on eyes on.
Yeah, yeah. And it was their house plants.
Exactly. Basically, however, ironically,
they did not have actual any actual house plans.
(14:00):
What they did see, they looked like this is the house.
Yeah. And we are planted on our
chairs. And they were like, dude, dude,
dude, check this out. Do you see what I'm what
connection we just made? Yeah.
It's the double innuendo. Yes.
It could be a house plant or people that are planted in the
house. Ohh.
God, dude, dude, bro, ohh, dude.You know what else we could do?
Dude, dude. Just imagine we're on stage,
(14:21):
right? OK, OK, OK OK.
We're we're living around peopleknow the house plans.
Yeah, and we all wear green color.
Ohh. Shit.
Oh, man, we're gonna go up thereand we're gonna do it.
My God, this idea is so good. We better lock it out of any
other ideas. Oh, yeah.
And they're like, no, never. We never.
We go Lockout. Yes.
Don't you dare say the word lockout.
Yes. That traumatized me when I was
seven years old. I was locked out of the house.
(14:42):
Like that's it. Yeah.
Yeah, maybe. The three of them came together.
They were in the same neighborhood.
They coincidentally got locked out at the same time 'cause
their parents were in a swinger club, right?
Right. They were in a swingers club.
The parents were like, kids, yougotta be out of the house.
Yeah, like, no, mom, I live heretoo, and they locked them out.
They these three kids are on thestreets kicking pebbles.
And what happened to you? They're like, I don't know, man.
(15:02):
Your, your, your dad went to my mom and they locked the door.
But your mom here to my dad's house, locked the door.
What the hell? Right.
And then they all came together.The third kid shows up, and he's
holding this, like, cactus in his hand.
Yeah, right. And he's like, what happened to
you? I don't know.
You know, I went in there and all of a sudden, just like this
cactus has four arms. 4 guys went into my mom's bedroom,
(15:24):
Right? And then they were like, I don't
know, man. Those guys were planted at my
mom. Yeah, they were literally
planting my mom in her house, and they all just sitting there
kicking pebbles or whatever, looking at the cactus.
And they were like, oh man, if one day, you know, one day I
wish we could stay in our home just like the house plants never
get kicked out. Like, you know, one day I'm
(15:44):
going to that's going to be our life life model.
We will be house plants. You would never kick us out of
the house. We'll always be welcome in this
home, just like all that. Stuff.
Yeah, cut to. Last night at the Aftermath.
They're like, today's the day, guys.
Today's the day. Remember when we were seven
years old? Now we're 37 years old.
If the time has come. Yeah, The Aftermath, 6th
anniversary party, whatever. This is the moment.
(16:06):
Remember it because what happened, what happened then was
when they were six year old. Yeah.
So they like, we have to show up.
It is. The the story makes sense
exactly so that's why they were stand on stage side.
They were nervous like man of the day is come.
We've been practicing every single day.
The house plants will make our make a name for themselves and
there are two embassies on say like we look at the lockouts and
all single like. The trauma.
(16:29):
Trauma losing their shit, which is why like I believe they did
their set yeah and when we. Came back, we were all
shirtless. They were all shirtless.
I think what was have happened, It was like they were like, you
know, just just peeling away, shedding away the old.
The old trauma. The old trauma just getting the
lockouts exactly, but they. Also, I think maybe they were
taking off their shirts to get to to get ready to fight the
(16:50):
lockouts. Could be, yeah.
Yeah, I think so as well. It was they what, they didn't
realize that the USC fight was on the next day.
Yes. Yeah.
It wasn't that this was just live music.
Yeah. So you have.
But yeah, it was, it was cool. It was good to see the different
bands play different types of music.
We had some cover bands. We had some.
Bands. I really enjoyed the covers of
covers. The first one, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you were really good. They play like cover song, but
in their own style. Yes, yeah, that was very good as
(17:11):
well. So everybody you you just go
like check them out, check out little local bands in Hong Kong
and also the aftermath. You definitely want to go check
out their shows. They always have some great.
Coolest. Coolest.
Like underground venue in town? Yeah.
And if you missed out last night's birthday party number
one, don't worry, they are probably going to turn 7 in the
years time. Yes, from my calculations,
looking at the stars and asking every functioning master and
(17:32):
looking at the year of the snakeand this net, I believe, I
believe the aftermath Hong Kong,the fact that they managed to
turn 6 this year, in the year 2026, coincidentally, the stars
will align and they will turn 7.I'm really, really worried that
I would this prediction, this prediction.
I feel this is the one prediction I'm going to say
(17:52):
today will happen. OK, yeah, let's let's all meet
here next year and then see, Speaking of the predictions,
what's your your Zodiac sign? So I am born in the year of the
dog. I'm a Libra.
I'm also Libra. I think we talked about this.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
So Libra. But I didn't know you're a dog.
Yeah, I'm a dog. Speaking of of dogs being.
(18:14):
Right. It is a dog eat dog.
Yeah, I were like a dog. Everything about me is a dog
except for people coming out to be say, hey dog.
I'm like, no, I'm not that one. So I have a chart for you for
the 2025. Year of the snake.
So we have a week to go before afew days ago, I should say for
before the year of snake. So if I were to, if you were to
tell me I have bad news, yes, right.
I technically still have a couple of days to enjoy it,
(18:37):
unless I deny Lunineer completely.
I put snake traps around my house, right?
If I put snake traps around yourhouse, I would be caught in it
first because I have a snake, Yes.
I don't know. Do I want good luck?
I don't want to continue this podcast.
Oh, that's a tough one. Yes, it is a tough one.
So this is going to be here on the on the visual the 2025 year
(19:02):
of the snake. I don't know what you call this
chart. Prediction thing.
This would be basically the scheduler of the year I don't
know I have. No personal personal lucky
charm. Yeah, I there's, I think there's
a Chinese phrase, I forget what the phrase is, but there's a
phrase that people go to like these functional masters,
whatever and ask what is the coming up destiny and.
So I took a photo of it. It's next to Man MO Temple, the
(19:25):
famous Man MO temple that is totally for me and on Cat St.
below Man MO temple. It's now become very popular
with tourists, so there's a few people who are doing the
traditional. Yeah, yeah, the fighters.
Yeah, the whole street now. There used to be a guy who
literally looked. Like yoga, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, crazy looking yeah, like super cool, like
(19:48):
Chinese master, like grey beard and.
Hair typical sitting over there you just like take the
calligraphy brush out and every stroke of it.
Yeah, super cool. I think his name is Derek.
Like his name? So not cool, dude.
Yeah. Like I will give you the
fortune. Yes.
Wait for me. Now I will write 4 Chinese words
and these 4 words will give you the best life you have in the
(20:10):
year of the snake. He writes a lot.
This is I'm like, well, that's so cool, master.
This is what does it say? It says fortune for you now.
And I'm like whoa, master, that's awesome.
I would now sign it to verify I wrote this, Derek.
Why? Why we do like, like, at least
like, you know, like. Are dumb.
(20:31):
They need. They need, yeah.
At least like give yourself a Chinese sounding there like
that. I like, you know, and I like,
you know, like. There's a sign there, it says an
English Derek Chan or whatever. But anyway, he hasn't been
around for a little bit, like maybe for the last like month or
so. Yeah, hopefully he's fine.
But I, we actually caught him when I was walking the dog.
(20:52):
We caught someone the other day going literally just walking
down the stairs and goes, goes to the desk where he's supposed
to be. And there's like a much younger
man with no beard. And clearly.
She heard about she heard about Derek and she kind of knows what
he looks like. I'm sure she knows like, oh,
look for the guy who looks like,you know, like Confucius
basically. And then she goes and I see the
(21:14):
entire interaction because she'sa foreign woman, clearly a
tourist. And she goes, hi, where is
Derek? And the guy goes, I have Derek.
And you're sitting like so. It's the good old bait and
switch. Yeah, go look for Derek.
And he might have sent his like,like, what is it called?
Nephew or something? Nephew.
Exactly. The problem is this, that this
is where she gets where she's like, I don't know if I can say
(21:36):
you don't look like. Yes, because it doesn't really
look racist. Yeah, yeah.
What do you mean I don't look like him?
Are you trying to say like whoa?Yeah, and she's just like
looking at him. And she went, no, I'm just
really. Wow, this.
Guy, which is pretty cool, genius, because I'm like,
clearly she knows that that's not the guy with her
description. Yeah, look.
(21:57):
Wow. Well, Derek, wherever you are,
well done. Your brand is safe.
Yeah, your brand is. Safe screwed by that.
I'm not getting screwed. I mean, yeah, he looks like the
most I will hopefully he's back and I will go take a photo of
him, a super nice man because he's in his own like little
element. So when people are taking
photos, he's not bothered by it.So if when he's back, I will
take a photo and post it somewhere.
(22:20):
So yeah, going back to sorry, it's a long winded way to say
this was the lucky chart charm thing was posted on Memo Temple
slash Cat Street where Derek is.Go find them.
And yeah, so we have 4 columns. We have Chinese Zodiac trend of
the for the year. I feel like trend is not really.
(22:42):
Trendy. I mean like, come on.
I really it's not Confucius like.
Trend. I'm not saying it is a thing,
but that's what it seems to be, the thing people want to do.
Yeah. And the best thing, that trend
of the year, you have bad luck. That's not a trend.
I don't want that to be my trend.
Yeah, well, we'll get to the trend part because mine is the
risky personal lucky charm is the third column.
Item you have to hold or something?
(23:03):
That's a good luck for you, right?
And funny enough, it's obviouslyright in front of, like, a
souvenir shop, so you can, like,look at your thing.
Yeah. And then the last one is
additional like a charm so you can buy more things.
Additional. Because Confucius says buy
stuff. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah. Get more, get more fortune.
Yes, get more fortune. Doesn't matter.
So for you, let's start with you.

because like she's in July. Oh my God, I'm in September.
So funny we're going to clip this whole thing.

Tiger has also personal lucky charm as dog.
So you guys are just locked together?
Battle. Yeah, yeah, super.
So I like your arguments, man. Like, you know, it's nice.
(25:56):
I can tell her off a little bit.Like, what is what are you
doing? What are you doing?
She's like, I know you like this.
I'm like, no, this is not. No, I don't like this.
She's like, no, according to theZodiac size.

And then the last one is additional luggage charm and it
says brings in good fortune. And then a Chinese sentence.
I mean this one. Wait, hold on, which one?
This is brings in. Good.
Oh, so these people do it for me, right folk Toy 19 So, so
fortune is is right in front of you.
OK, so this is just like a a little like fortune cookie.
(26:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's what? Yeah, it's.
Like fortune is ahead. Like.
It's right, right in front of your eyes.
OK, Yeah. So right now it's this camera,
yeah. This camera, the Lumix GH5S that
I've had for many years or. You were looking at me when you
were reading it, maybe? Mohammed Mandi.
Yeah, maybe it's that one now it's the zoom link mixer now
it's a tile on the floor. Wow, guess this everything is
(27:01):
good for me now. OK.
And go. We'll do Gloria and then me.
Gloria is Tiger, Yes. So she has unstable, fluctuating
year. Absolutely correct.
That is every single fucking moment of my life, right?
Any moment, dude, like you couldbe here sitting in this room.
I tell her something. I come back here, I'm like, oh,
(27:22):
I got to tell her something else, but I'm like, hold on, let
me tune this and go there. She's like, oh, baby, you know,
we have for dinner. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
oh, yeah. But I think, I think that's what
everything right? When you when you with someone
long enough now yeah, you forgetfluctuate like.
And you forget the year. Yeah, you forget the year, you
forget the Zodiac, you forget all that shit.
Because to me she never ages. Yeah, yeah, actually.
(27:43):
That is incredible. Yeah, that she does look like
I've known her for for a long time yeah, she genuinely like
you know, jokes aside, the Chinese women blah blah blah,
but she does look exactly the same for same yeah many years.
Pathetic dude That is. That is crazy as you are aging
double. Speed.
Hey, dogs age. Faster than fucking Tiger, that
is. True.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She looks.
(28:04):
Yeah. It's like, you know.
Amen. When did we work on the Jason
Young show? Because I have a very weird
memory of her. 3-4, three years I think.
BMQ, yeah, must be at least. Three years, she's.
Helping out and stuff. And actually even before that at
the Ocean Park show. Yeah, yeah, that is.
What? And again, like I have like very
like, you know, photographic memories of some things.
(28:24):
And then I see her like today orlast week or whatever, I'm like,
that's the same exact, same exact person.
No one wrinkle. It's like.
Hey man, when you have a cushy life like she does.
I think that's what it is. Yeah, that's what it is, right
When you get to sit in the houseand be like, what mortgage.
Yeah, yeah. You would have no wrinkles
either, man. No, no, no, But no, no, she
she's like really big on the whole skin care thing.
(28:45):
Yeah, I can tell. Yeah, yeah.
And The funny thing is actually tell her off a lot of that shit
you do. Oh yeah, dude.
You're like, are you just going like you don't need it, you
already look good, kind of. Thing I've done that before, but
she doesn't care what I think about that.
She's like, it's not about you looking at me anymore.
It So what I've told her off is very like you're the whole the
whole thing like you should do this all.
But yeah, but I had a lot of stuff to do.
I'm like, you wash your face every fucking day.
(29:05):
Yes, yes. And I I use that to poke at her.
I'm like, well, you do no matterwhat time is it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but no, I get it's one of those
personal priorities, but she like that's a important thing to
her. Yes, I get it.
And I keep telling her I'm like,you know, you can't keep taking
up all these shelves in the bathroom with all your fucking
products. So yes, it doesn't work that
way. Just.
As a classic, like a man, woman,art.
Yeah, right. I do.
There's so much. Why?
I was telling like I have skin too.
(29:26):
You may do all this shit, no. Yeah, actually, you have more
skin on your face. Exactly.
And every year you get more skinon your.
Face absolutely exactly. And I still don't add more
product, if any. I'm using less product to learn.
And so she her personal Lucky Charms are horse, yes, dog, you,
(29:46):
Yeah, and pig. Oh yeah, I don't even know any
pigs. I don't know any.
I refuse to know any. Pigs.
You can. Oh yeah, exactly.
If you are a pig, unfriend me orstop following.
Or maybe you might convince him to change his mind if you go to
patreon.com/hoho. Absolutely.
I can convince you to not be a pig.
Also we say like, oh stop being a pig.
(30:08):
Yeah, it's a phrase, you know. Yeah, We'll, we'll, we'll like
you. At least he'll like you if
you're a Patreon subscriber. Absolutely.
Yeah. I, I am.
I totally respond. People know me now enough to
know that I respond to bribery very well.
Absolutely. And I like corruption.
Egyptian. Yes, yes.
Love corruption. Bribery.
I think it's the best. So yes, bribe me into bribe me
(30:29):
into liking you if you're a pig if I go on patreon.com/O pod and
signing up for $5.00 a month. Hilarious a few years later when
you're about to get your PR in Hong Kong.
Yeah, like let's listen to this.Clip Oh no, you're.
Like, no, you listen to the whole episode.
Like no, no, no, that's the mostheard segment of the old
podcast. So we're like, God damn.
It I love corruption and. Then I Add all the true Egyptian
(30:51):
like see, no party wants me in Hong Kong.
Exactly, man. And then her additional like a
charm is protection Bhagwa. Hold on, who?
Is protection bhagwa? Oh, I don't know, Usain Bhagwa.
Oh, no. So basically she is all about
protecting herself and she's very curious and a little bit of
gossipy thing. Wanted to know what's going on
over there. So Usain, I guess would mean
(31:11):
like, take care of your body. Yeah.
Either protects herself or maybelike skin protect whatever.
Yes. And Bhagwa would be like just
curious and gossipy, okay, like a little bit like, you know, the
what's that word? Is that something auntie like
being like a typical auntie likeso, So who?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, just like a auntie,
like. Whisper, yeah.
(31:32):
Yeah, yeah, nice. Okay.
How accurate is this? Is she gossipy?
I wouldn't say too much. Okay, so I'll give you funny
things. So in Hong Kong on TVB, on the
Chinese channel, they have a thing called Tong Jiang Sai
Mong, which is like one of thosegossip shows like imagine like
Hello magazine, right where theytell you like this person could
Prince Harry be. This or whatever.
Yeah okay, so this one night it was like 11 something 12:00 I
(31:56):
was I was waiting bed. I'm like you know what I'm so
tired I'm gonna watch some stupid shit yes and I literally
watched a full episode of this yeah and the whole time I was
just commenting on how stupid this is.
I was like, who is watching thisstupid shit?
Right? And I was like, oh, so this is
all the things people talk about.
Like for example, in this housing estate, someone's
throwing garbage from the window.
Who? Let's ask the neighbors.
(32:16):
What do they think? Yeah, you know, or.
It's not even celebrities, it's just like random shit.
It's basically you could actually send in, let's say your
video that you you filmed. Yes, yes.
And they'll be oh, by the way, on the Fandling Hwy. someone
tripped on their motorcycle. Luckily the driver's fine.
All right next to you is like. That why would buddy Ryan
Heinich, I don't know if you've caught his status like a couple
of months ago, he has a someone who is so Ryan has a really big
(32:39):
balcony in his house in Shanghuang.
It's like one of these houses that's like smaller inside and
huge balcony, but it's also like4th floor or something and the
rest of the building is up there.
And for months there is someone who's exclusively throwing dry
ramen. Uncooked dry ramen.
Uncooked dry ramen on his balcony.
It's driving him nuts. Wow, yeah.
(33:00):
And then he would like set up cameras and then the cameras
would like get rained on and it's a whole saga.
It's really funny for us. He's very pissed.
He does not find it funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But there is. Yeah.
And still ongoing because he hasplans.
So now the rats come because they're expecting ramen.
Yeah. And it's the whole thing.
I think he would be really good for the show.
That'll be so funny that I say one day the ramen doesn't get
(33:21):
thrown. The rats show up and they're
like, what the fuck is my ramen?Yeah, they start knocking on the
window, the door, like, right? And Ryan, what the fuck?
I have a rat problem now. They're pissed off I don't have
ramen for them. Like he's like, I'm in Hong Kong
and I'm getting knocked on the door by fucking rats.
Ask me, where's my fucking ramen?
(33:41):
And because they're Hong Kong rats, they're knocking the door
lying. Yeah, they're queuing up.
You give it to 1, they're like, what about my uncle?
What about my uncle? Where's my uncle's on?
Wow, that is. Oh, my God, these rats really
wanted. They climbed the four floors to
get this. Oh, yeah.
Oh yeah. I mean free ramen man, I would
line up. Yeah, maybe what he should do,
right, He should actually himself get shitty cheap ramen.
(34:04):
Yes. Like, maybe the whole time it's
been like, let's say the the, you know, the Korean ramen, the
chili ramen brand. Yeah, yeah, switch it up.
Don't make a ramen. Make like doll noodles.
Oh yeah, the rats eat the. Fuck, what the fuck is this
shit? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then they like go to the next 7-11 and enjoy it there.
All right, shout out, Ryan. I hope your ramen problem is
fixed. Not really, because I'm enjoying
your your updates. OK, so you have me.
(34:28):
I am actually. Hold on a second.
Can I? Can I, can I just, can I just
tell you one stupid thing I justthought of?
Yes. Tell me.
So someone's throwing ramen intohis balcony, right?
That action could be titled Ramen Rains.
This is this is for maybe the four people.
WWE. What's WWE?
(34:49):
Ramen Rain. Why?
Ramen rains. Ramen Rains is pretty good.
You can just imagine the ramen noodles.
Yeah, exactly. And the best thing is the one
day Ryan walks out of the balcony, the Ramen's thrown out
the window upstairs. You see the slow motion ramen
comes down and it and it comes right in the right angle of
(35:10):
where Ryan is. He turns around and sees it
coming towards and he gets speared like Roman.
Reigns got finished. He.
Got the. Ramen Reigns finished.
And the best thing is the guy who says through the ramen goes.
Yeah, maybe that's what he was trying to do the whole time.
Maybe that is. Yeah, he was.
Just had this like sick joke, yeah that he's just trying to
aim right for months. Maybe he got pissed off because
(35:31):
he doesn't have Netflix. Can't watch WWE anymore.
True. Yeah.
Is it exclusive now to? Netflix.
I think so, yeah. I just took to home.
Yeah. My name was only on Netflix now.
Yeah. OK, I am.
This is my year, everyone. Year of the Snake that's.
Right to happen. What's your best snake
impression? Yeah, I thought it would be like
(35:52):
rattling snakes and stuff like that.
OK, we'll take that back. I.
Don't know what's What's your best snake impression?
I would do like a long way, you know, that the tongue wiggly,
you know, cartoon, you know, Yeah.
What are the all right anyway? Year of the snake.
(36:13):
Yeah, I have, unfortunately, just like Gloria, unstable,
fluctuating year. Oh man, which?
Is kind of disappointing. Are you in menopause this year
or something? No.
Idea you can see like tiger, snake, monkey and pig.
Yeah, lucky pig. I don't care for the pigs.
So if you're a pig, you deserve an unstable, fluctuating year
all the time, everywhere. OK, OK, OK.
(36:34):
Sorry. Pigs.
See, even that's bad. They call them pigs.
I know. Right.
Yeah. Yeah, so tiger, snake, monkey
and pig on same thing, Unstable,fluctuating.
Yeah. How?
How do you say that in? Fan tie soy, which means so
basically fan would be like to commit like a committing crime
commit and tie. So I get would be I guess would
(36:55):
be like the your Kasoya's age and tie would be very age, I
guess you know, so like the committing a very ageful issue.
What does that mean? Like.
I'm not really sure like I I know I've heard this phrase font
heiser but I've never I thought exactly.
Meaning a very ageful issue is apparently my Zodiac.
Yeah. Or basically if you work for
words that committing very age. Committing very age.
Yeah, you're, I'm about to commit very age.
(37:16):
Yeah, watch. Out if you are.
Thou shall not commit very age. Thou shall not commit bad
grammar. How?
About that, yeah, that as well. So I get along with my personal
luggage. Charm is Ox.
Don't know who Ox is. I don't know any Oxes.
Rooster, however, is Annie. And he's OK.
(37:37):
OK, and he's a rooster and monkey who I also don't.
Really you can. Get in touch if you are an ox or
a monkey and maybe if I have been ignoring you for the last
few. Years you may stop.
I will actually stop ignoring them because apparently they're
my lucky charm. And selfish.
You need that. Yes, I need that.
I need oxes and monkeys in my life this year.
Wow. And last thing is, there's no
(37:59):
lucky charm. I have Buddha's hand with luck.
Passo something folk OK, so I get all right, so maybe I'm
guessing they want the whole like, you know, just yeah, yeah,
that as well. And like you get luck with just
being in the middle like B's full OK I'm guessing that I I
don't know what exactly that third word is yeah, but like
Faso would be like, I'm guessinghis Buddha's hand would be like
(38:20):
a very like, you know, middle ground.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you knowyeah.
It's being the middle of the whole thing.
Yeah. So don't be a don't be B, right.
Be right in the center all. Right.
Take care. Yeah, just be so this this thing
I posted on my stories the otherMuhammad the day this comes out
on on Monday and you can find your own little lucky charm and
(38:43):
a Chinese Zodiac and let us knowwhat you are.
One more thing that I've actually decided, it's like, you
always joke about how, you know,you drop your resolutions for
the new year and then you're like, there's always a Chinese
New Year too. Yeah, this is it.
Yeah, this is it. I actually started something
that I so I watched a documentary on Netflix about
(39:04):
minimalism. Minimal.
OK, OK. So about these two guys, it's
kind of a typical story of like,you know, guy who had a
corporate job and had everything, yeah, realize he's
not happy, blah, blah, blah. So it's kind of a typical story.
But they did have one thing thatI think resonated with me a lot.
Yeah, which is like, look aroundeverything in your house, and if
it doesn't make you happy, just get it.
Oh. It's Marie Condo man, right?
(39:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm like, they didn't just
give it as a concept, they give it as a practice.
Oh yeah, every. So the practice, every day
you're getting rid of one thing and then it goes up.
So I'm actually today has five things.
Oh wow. Yeah.
So I just want to keep continuing that through the
beginning of Chinese New Year until I run out of things to
get. Have you gotten rid of your
every previous set list? If it doesn't make me happy, I
(39:52):
can get rid of yeah, yeah, I will get rid of some some stuff
that does not make me or the audience happy, Yeah.
Wow, so every day is like one extra that's.
Good. It's actually it's a lot because
it's obviously compounds. I'm already at 5:00.
But some of the fun things I've done so far.
So Annie pointed out that I havelike a little.
Of course you have a lot of stupid shit.
(40:12):
Once you are really paying attention you're like what the
fuck is this doing? Why do I have this?
Yeah. So two things.
One if you're from the Shang Onecrowd, but actually between you
and me, between Shang Juan and and Central there is a few steps
up from Staunton Rd. into a little platform area with cafes
and stuff. It's called a common ground.
(40:33):
Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And in front of it, there's a pet shop called BYOP, Bring Your
Own Pet and another, a little community hippie kind of area.
And there, there is actually an old fridge, like an empty fridge
that people leave their books in.
Yeah. And next to it now there is an
old wine fridge that people leave their whatever in.
Not like shit like you are really good at it.
(40:53):
Like you can just leave. Like.
So we found out that there are abunch of tote bags, for example.
Yeah. And then there is a pile next to
it. It's really cool.
And hopefully no one abuses this.
There's a pile next to it of about 30 umbrellas.
Like good umbrellas, like the small ones, Someone just piled
them up in case you're walking down.
Need an umbrella and you need anumbrella, just grab it.
It's super cool. Hopefully no, like, you know,
(41:13):
someone take it and sell it in front of the MTR or whatever.
Yeah. So I have been taking stuff
there. So books, that's easy.
And of course, because it's likeevery day you have more things.
It's you have to count everything as one thing, right,
Because that's how you like playthe game.
Yeah, So and you found this little thing that I have in my
kitchen that I guess one time it's one of those like it's an
(41:35):
owl little figurine that you canhave a little tea candle in and
on top there is a hole where youcan put like either.
Essential oil. Or aromatherapy thing, but it's
old, I don't really use it, justsitting there doing absolutely
nothing, collecting dust. So I took it, but I, I don't
want to throw it away. That's the other thing.
You're like trying to like make use of it.
I'm not going to give it to one of my friends because it's like
(41:57):
old, but it's functional. It's good.
So we're like looking for the most creative way to get rid of
it and we found there's a big plant on Hollywood Rd. in front
of a shop and the plant has likea figurine of a dog, the
Dalmatian. Dog.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So at night we just put the owl
next to it and see what happens if the shop owner comes the next
day and removes it and he didn't.
(42:18):
So now the dog has a companion and they're still there.
Yeah. Still there after like a few
days. Yeah.
Yeah. So that's cool.
I there's a few other things, but one of the main places we go
to now is the yeah, the wine fridge and the book.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also I have like literally,
I have like 20 toed bags. That's again, if you look at it,
you're like, what am I doing? Yeah.
(42:39):
Because of course, when you're not in that mentality, you're
like, oh, they're tote bag, They're good.
Like they have to be here. You can use them.
You never, ever, ever in your life go to use more than three
tote bags at a time. Yeah, that's insane.
You. Keep getting new ones anyway
you. Just gonna keep getting new
ones. Exactly.
I just got one from big house the other day.
Shout out for free. So now I have like another one,
but I also got one from like theHong Kong government for the
(43:01):
drug thing, like months ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He had like a pop up at the Central Market and I played a
little game. Just got another tote bag.
It's like, all right, what are we doing here?
So now you have to get rid of some of it.
So this is actually my resolution for the new real
Chinese New Year is to continue doing this or keep updating here
about the things, the highlightsof the things I got rid of and I
(43:22):
was threatening my dog the otherday that she might be next if
she doesn't behave. Yeah, calm down.
Calm down. Obviously not going to do that.
Don't fucking call the cops. Not going to do that.
But it's fun to, you know, be like, hey, yes, exactly.
Settle down. Would you do it?
Some of that I actually, my ruleof thumb is that if I haven't
remembered or used this thing for a whole year, it doesn't
(43:43):
need to be here anymore. Yes, right.
However, if it were something I'm like, oh, this really could
be useful. I have to use it within a
month's time. Otherwise I'm like, yeah, that's
not. OK, that's a really good thing,
yeah. That's a good thing.
So when I clear my covers and stuff, like for example, I see
something, I'm like, oh man, I thought I'd use it.
I haven't used it for a whole year.
That means I'm not going to use it.
I've survived a year without it.I didn't need it.
Yeah. However, as I said, like it may
be for example certain gadgets and stuff where I'm like, oh
(44:05):
actually. We're looking behind the
cameras, obviously, studio, so there's some things laying
around. Yeah.
From what you're looking at behind, what would you get rid
of? So I'm seeing for example a few
like are these older backpacks? Yeah, yeah.
These are backpacks. So basically with backpacks, the
problem is this. I have every bag necessary for
certainly the case. So I'll tell you, I have, I
would say 4 Osprey bags. Yeah.
(44:26):
All right. Bag #1 the dark green 1 is my
old travel bag that I would use because it can be zipped up into
like a hand carry thing, right. That bag now becomes the when I
get a big gig that I have to carry a lot of equipment.
Let's do the PMQ whatever. Yeah that's a bag to stuff stuff
in because it's very strong. Yes.
All right. And it's very foldable.
It's very compact. So that stays.
I've got my other one, the blue one, which is actually a
backpack that can also be holding into a, into a carry
(44:47):
bag. That would when I, for example,
if I, I don't wanna have to carry 2 bags on my back, I have
one on the side. So that's my travel bag.
Yeah. When I do gigs outside, that's,
that's the bag to go. OK, so it has certain things in
it that I know I travel with. They'll have a certain cars and
everything. I'm like it's always there.
Then I've got my one bigger bag that I use for when I have to
carry two gigs, which is like it's is designed in a way where
(45:07):
it's tilted in it to certain extent that the weight doesn't
go on your shoulders, but on your whole back.
So that's one. And the last one is my daily one
that I'm like for every single day I use that.
So I thought about it. I was like, do I need 4
different bags? However, they're all four highly
differently functional. OK, you get it and.
It's all justified. I don't I.
See that? Yeah, exactly.
People can fall into this trap so easily.
Like once you point something, Iwas like, no, no, I would use
(45:28):
this for this. Yeah.
Yeah. But then you never do.
You never do. Yeah, you.
Claim I need this for that afterthat and that the one thing if
you you're going to ask Gloria is that I spent so much time in
Christmas time organizing thingsnot to just this goes here, this
goes there but like functionallythis needs to work yes like even
this room we're in right now everything has been functionally
thought out about it. The battery station is over
here. I've got to have this many
wires. Very organized for such a small
(45:51):
room. Yeah, you know, maximizing
everything I can think of like the shelf up here, you can't see
it right now, but it's like stacked of stuff where I can see
through the boxes on it, you know.
And like for example, I have spotlights.
I have like 3 small spotlights. Now I generally only need use
one at a time, but every now then you get that gig way like I
need 2. You have to have the spot that
ready to go for work. So those kind of stupid things
are like oh crap. Like the storage of certain
(46:12):
equipment. I'm like the bag I could just
wrap it up in let's say bubble wrap.
I'm like, yeah, but the day is going to come and have to carry
both these things. Yeah, I need storage bags to
that are designed for it, you know.
So yes, however, my route definitely is when I'm clearing,
I get very aggressive where I'm like, don't need this, don't
care, I don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like, even the holiday, but you know, maybe one day on
Monday, I'm like, if that day comes, I'll get it.
I'll get it. Exactly.
Just get a new. One I have a good day and I have
(46:33):
to, I'll figure it out. I don't need it.
One last thing I want to challenge people to do is to, I
did say Hollywood Rd. I didn't say where.
I did say in front of a shop too.
So it's not hard, not easy. Yeah, if you go find the owl
next to the dog and send a phototo either of us, you will get 2
free tickets to a backstage comedy show.
(46:54):
Nice. That's worth at least 460 Hong
Kong dollars. Just go find the owl next to the
Dalmatian dog. Very easy and take a photo of it
and send it to either of us on at OR.
As the other Muhammad. And the other Muhammad, it's
somewhere on Hollywood Road, andyou can find the owl and take a
photo. Send it to us.
Yeah, try to get rid of something for this year.
(47:19):
Hopefully it's not a human. Yeah, or.
A dog? Yeah, that.
Matter. But you can take my dog for a
little bit. You can see I'm probably falling
asleep as I'm talking. It's been 10 days.
But no, actually one last thing is one, one thing you can get
into, and I think that applies to a lot of people, is the
(47:40):
medicine drawer. Yeah, everyone has a medicine
drawer. Yeah, for sure.
And it's crazy how much like expired medicine is there.
And then like old creams and stuff like that.
That's actually like if you havetime downtime over Chinese New
Year, yeah, I would start there because it's so comforting.
To use it if it's expired, you're.
Like, of course you're not goingto use it, you know?
(48:00):
And there is so much, like, there is no house that I've been
to that I had access to a medicine jar without looking at.
Like, that's crazy. Yeah, Yeah.
And then mine is equally insane.Yeah.
And yeah, once you start lookingat the dates of the medicine
jar, and I have a dog, so I haveher own medicine cabinet.
And like, once you're looking atall these things and you clear
out like half of them, you're like.
(48:20):
Yeah, I can live with myself. It feels so good.
So yeah, declutter everyone. You don't have to.
You don't live with a mess. Mentally.
Physically. Dog.
Yeah, really. Absolutely.
Whatever you want. Yeah, digital, yeah, Yeah,
that's another thing. Digital declutter, that's huge.
I can't even do that. I can't do really hard yeah now
with like hard drive so overwhelming yeah yeah, I'm just
(48:41):
I'm keep it there yes yeah, you take a more physical place.
It's fine, doesn't matter that's.
True. Yeah.
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone.
This is, yeah, we obviously havedone this for a while.
I don't know how many Chinese New Year's probably at the same
as the regular year, but it's socool to see people from all
kinds of Chinese zodiacs following us.
