This week's guest is Malaysian comedian Kavin Jay. Last time Kavin was on this podcast, he was a much heavier man. After going through an incredible transformation, he lost 45 kilograms in one year, with no medical intervention and no Ozempic. On this episode, Kavin shares his weight loss journey and his reasons behind not using Ozempic.

If you are not familiar with Chez Trente and its legendary status among the live music scene in Hong Kong, you are missing out.

Chez Trente is a quaint, cool live music venue located in the middle of Peel Street, HK's premier bar street over the last few years, but there are no signs to guide you to Chez Trente, and if you don't know where it is, it's really hard to find. We chat with Chez Trente's founder, Joe Lung, on the origins of Chez Trente, how he came to rent an entire Star Ferry to run his music festival, and his very ambitious plans for this year's 3-day CT Music Festival on Cheung Chau from 21 to 23 Nov.

This week host Mohammed Magdi speaks with two of HK's most well-traveled couples. Cassi Thomas, founder of Chaotic HK Expats, and comedian Garron Chiu.

Garron and Cassi have been a couple for 11 years, and their traveling style has changed over time. They share some of their best tips, why "fighting before the trip" works better, and they share an extremely spicy story of some action they witnessed on the rooftop of an LA hotel.

Vivek Mahbubani is out of commission for a few weeks as a result of an accident (he will be fine and will make a full recovery), so Mohammed Magdi takes the liberty of picking co-hosts. This week we have strategy consultant, comedian, and one of HK's best success stories, Ben Quinlan.

Mohammed and Ben chat about mega events in Hong Kong, their love for the city they both call home, and Ben's upcoming theater show on Sep 21.

We are back in the studio, and we catch up on Vivek's recent tour of Malaysia and Singapore and Mohammed accidentally turning to a toothbrush head dealer for a day, and then we get into Hong Kong Comedy Season chat.

Vivek took his long-awaited holiday in a fancy villa in Bali with 10 of his closest people (Mohammed Magdi didn't make the cut), but he did the holiday in the most Vivek way possible.

We also catch up on the shows Vivek did in Macau with Jimmy O. Yang. How different were they from the Hong Kong shows? And he reveals the crazy souvenir he had to take back from his dressing room.
