No more “you know ”please

Please, Tony, can you stop speaking “you know” every 10 seconds? I love this show, but “you know ” drive me crazy.

Heyang is an obvious favorite

She’s got charisma! Good to know there are Chinese people like her over there. A mostly interesting & informative pod on China.
