Inside CNET Labs 23.5: The F-word
This is why Dong Ngo has an obesity problem. Sad really.
No, no not that F-word, the other F-word. Dong and I discuss fat. Fat people, fat stories about fat people, fat wads, and pho. Yep, bowls of pho.
Speaking of pho, during this whole exchange Dong tells the story of his Worst Faux Pas Ever! If you've been following this podcast with any kind of regularity, you know that's saying something.
After that, we're back getting political with it (did I just type that?). Well maybe not political, but at least social. This is your fair warning.

Eric Franklin refused to write a bio, saying, "Why are you bothering me about this bio business again? If I wanted people to know more about me, I'd send them to the Inside CNET Labs Podcast" (shameless plug). E-mail Eric.
Eric Franklin's colleagues once had the following to say to him: "Eric, you've been doing this performance testing thing for over 10 years now. How about you try something different?" To which Eric responded, "How about you shut the #%$@! up?" This candid attitude
allows him to go toe-to-toe with the most extreme of personalities, including that of Dong Ngo. This bio was written by Eric Franklin.
Dong Ngo is a knowledgeable, opinionated individual who wants to convince the world that he's just a normal person; but he hasn't had much success. According to him, this is because the world itself is abnormal. Dong loves traveling and is well-versed in several languages. He, unfortunately, is not so well-versed in English. Still, it's best to ask him questions. From networking and how to optimize your system, to turning a strange place into home or what the meaning of life is…most of the time, he has the answers. The question is: Will he make himself understood? Subscribe and find out!
and i know it's a clear sign of Alzeihmer's when i start repeating myself, but oh well, i can't help to say again [in my head, i say this pretty much everytime i listened to your podcast] that you two are uniquely super entertaining and informative! i like it a lot when you two are constantly talking with a clear subject like this! it's like the best treat at the end of a tiring long day, for me =)
Stick with tech, funny stories about a foreigner in a new country, and quips about work. You guys love Obama, love gays (even though you probably offend some with your banter), and have no real knowledge on politics except for what you see in the liberal media. We get it already. Its really getting old, and I really thought this was going to be the best podcast on CNET. You guys are ruining it.
Send the love.
