Mohammed Magdi & Vivek Mahbubani
Everything you need to know about Hong Kong. Each Monday local comedian Vivek Mahbubani and Egyptian comic Mohammed Magdi dive into something great about the city.
#97 - The government is set to ease the restrictions. What would a ”relaxed” Hong Kong look like?
HK CE "feels" like Hong Kongers' tolerance for the harsh anti-epidemic measures is "fading" .. after more than 2 years. So she said they would review the policies and ease up some of the harsh measurements over the next few days. We try to jump the gun and predict what would the new "relaxed" HK be like.

#96 - Hong Kong spent 150 million HKD on an emergency alert system that almost gave everyone a heart attack
This week on HK shenanigans, the government decided to use their swanky emergency alert system (which reportedly costed 150 million HKD) to send everyone in the city an emergency alert to their mobile phones. Was a rogue Russian nuclear missile on the way to kill us all? Did someone escape their 5-star staycation at the luxurious resort of Tsing Yi isolation facility? Is there a hamster on the run?
We also get into our HK pet peeves, why Vivek hates the outdoors and why we don't fact-check anything we say.

#95 - Hong Kong hits a new peak of over 50,000 Covid infections in one day, and why you shouldn’t lick the MTR door?
It's week 3 of no-guests allowed in our studio thanks to Covid precautions and restrictions, and we go all out on this one. We discuss everything from bananas to weird fruits that no one is buying, the new "The Batman" movie (no spoilers!) and HK hitting a new high of over 50K Covid infections in a single day to the lady who decided to give the MTR door a nice wipe with her tongue*, a cool hack we discovered at the HSBC ATM machine, flossing and a lot more general HK absurdity.
*No microphones were licked in the making of the cover photo.
