Hong Kong: Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong

We start this episode in Hong Kong with Scott’s massage going wildly off-script, involving aggressive beard handling and a room full of laughter at his expense, before shifting gears to Shelby completing every Disney park in the world and Scott quietly realising he’s now got a new life goal. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack a mind-bending idea that challenges what intelligence really looks like and who (or what) we might trust with life-or-death decisions, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings a rare bit of hope as the planet shows signs of quietly fighting back. “Vegan Voyagers” rates Hong Kong’s plant-based scene, and in “Worth The Trip” we give our honest verdict on the city, what you need to know before you go, and whether it’s actually worth the hype.Chapters(02:29) – Scott’s Strange Massage Experience in Hong Kong(06:40) – Why No One in China Has a Beard?(12:44) – What It Is Like to Complete All Disney Parks in the World(19:41) – Scott’s WTF of the Week: Pigeons Trained to Spot Cancer – What We Can Learn(26:24) – Shelby’s Good Vibes Only: Good News This Week: Mangroves, Backpacks & Food Drives(29:37) – Vegan Voyagers: Hong Kong (37:05) – Worth The Trip: Hong Kong Scott's WTF of the Week🧠 Pigeons Trained to Spot Cancer – What We Can Learn 📅 Wednesday 17th April 2019🔗⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzhpf1Ai7Z4Shelby’s Good Vibes Only🌱 Good News This Week: Mangroves, Backpacks & Food Drives 📅 Friday 8th November 2025🔗⁠https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/good-news-this-week-november-8-2025Additional References🛎️ Our accommodation in Hong Kong >> ⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2v2vp6ty⁠⁠Recommended EpisodesCheck out these other episodes, they dive into similar stories and topics.🎧 ⁠The Deadly Hong Kong Fire We Witnessed From Our Window - What Really Happened---------------------------------------------------------------SubscribeIf you have ever enjoyed any of these episodes, could we ask you to please consider any or all of these: Subscribe, Follow, Like, Share and leave a short Review?
