This week on Ho Ho Hong Kong, we’re talking brainrot, the jobs AI can’t steal, and Mohammed’s golden trick for using ChatGPT in Hong Kong without a VPN. We argue whether it’s better to blast the heater or dress like a dumpling, and Mohammed explains why he’s stuck sleeping on his own couch while juggling fresh visa drama courtesy of his “strong” Egyptian passport.

Ho Ho Hong Kong kicks off 2026 with a frosty blast of laughs! Vivek rants about his eternal hatred of hiking, fresh off his New Year’s Eve gig at the Grand Hyatt Ballroom. Mohammed, meanwhile, dives into tales of partying with Russians and why every countdown somehow ends up hilariously out of sync. We wrap it all up with a brutally honest look at our resolutions—what’s already failed, what’s gone way too far, and what might just survive January.

Vivek kicks things off with his very first “dumb purchase” of the holiday season — and yes, it’s as entertaining as it sounds. From there, we dive headfirst into our 2025 year‑in‑review, unpacking the highs that made us cheer and the lows that tested us. It’s been a big year for both of your hosts, filled with standout moments, unexpected twists, and a few literal stumbles along the way. Join us as we laugh, reflect, and share the stories that defined our rollercoaster of a year.

We kick things off with a recap of our Ready, Set… Fail! comedy quiz show, before turning our sights on Hong Kong’s own Sam’s Tailor and his never‑ending “schtick.” Mohammed shares his gripe with streamer iShowSpeed, sparking a bigger conversation about how today’s social media influencers rely on over‑the‑top reactions to grab attention.

Vivek reminisces about his metal band drumming days while Mohammed announces his 2026 Asia tour. We dive into our Spotify Wrapped (and reveal our “listening age”), shout out local businesses who backed our Tai Po fire relief fundraiser show, and chat about the film Dead Pigs. Plus, the week’s wildest headline: a truck crashing into a 7‑11 in Central.

Vivek returns from performing shows in Malaysia and Singapore, and he’s buzzing. Not only did he get to open for Jimmy O. Yang again in front of thousands, but he also spent extended time with him, hanging out like old buddies. The highlight? They even got stuck together on a Ferris wheel!

Host Mohammed Magdi flies to Egypt to emcee his friends' wedding; before he flew, he had another emceeing gig at the new Shangri-La hotel in Shenzhen, ending less than 2 hours before his flight to Cairo via Dubai. He's set to land in Cairo about 3 hours before the wedding starts. Sounds like a lot? These are just the highlights.
