Brendon and Ronnie are celebrating the Lunar New Year. Gung Hay Fat Choy! (or, Gong Xi Fa Cai!) They talk about the traditions, food, zodiac, red envelopes, and the mystifying Lion Dance. Along the way, Brendon reveals what Kirkland label beer is, mentions a tradition that might come back to haunt him after this episode, and recalls many times when he would kick cabbage at restaurant patrons for good luck... for them. Ronnie puts out hopes for the NFL playoffs that already haven't aged well, takes the Lunar New Year more seriously than regular New Years, and recalls one of his favorite memories of Brendon's father.

What is Why Yes, We're Friends?
Brendon Wong and Ronnie Sullivan like some rival teams, and that's OK! They're here to talk it out anyway. Join them for conversations that are mostly sporty, but anything goes. Choose adhesive over solvents, tape over knives, cash over cards. Why Yes, We're Friends. Thanks for asking!
