Podcast No. 12 (20090523): In this episode of The Hong & Wong Show, The Wong gets all angst-y (and incoherent) over his super cute Chinese teacher, “Miss Chang,” and The Hong attempts to rally him with some of his patented “The Hong” romantic advice. According to The Hong, this might be the best podcast in the history of TH&WS.
If you have different thoughts/advice after listening to The Hong (and I pray to God that you do), push it across in a comment. Please.
And we’re back.
Sorry for the delay in posting podcasts. My class started a new, more difficult textbook, so I’ve been hitting the books pretty hard in order to keep up. Although The Hong and I have been recording podcasts, I’ve been banking them because I didn’t have an opportunity to edit and post them until now. I know you’ve been itching for them like a heroin addict jonesin’ for some methadone, so here you go…
Podcast No. 10 (20090504) : from Seoul, South Korea. Special Guest: commentator HWH. Content: slander directed at all things Korean.
Podcast No. 10a (20090504a): an abbreviated Seoul podcast, with entirely different content. Perhaps the best episode of The Hong & Wong Show ever.
Podcast No. 11 (20090515): recap of Road Trip VIII: Seoul; and The Hong gives his thoughts on The Wong’s cute teacher and crazy classmates (Annoying Japanese Guy; “Hot” Russian Chick; the Korean Hobbits, etc.).
I think it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: The Chinese love Yao Ming. A lot.
The other day, I was watching some playoff basketball on the national sports channel (CCTV5) and they were showing a package of top ten plays by various NBA superstars from this past season.
According to the Chinese, LeBron James’s SECOND best play of the season involved him blocking a Yao Ming layup. What?? C’mon… Really? (No. 1 was LJ hitting a last-second game-winner over…the Golden State Warriors???)
For Kobe Bryant, his best play of the season (again, according to the Chinese) was not a dunk, a twisting layup, or a miracle game-winner. Nope, it was a defensive play: that’s right, it involved Kobe flying out of nowhere and swatting from behind an attempted layup by—you guessed it!—Yao Ming.
Man, I can’t wait to see the Yao Ming package. It’ll probably consist of ten clips of him blocking Kobe, LeBron, and assorted other NBA superstars in the first quarter of various non-critical games from October. The number one play will probably involve Yao blocking himself.
Go, Lakers.
