Does anyone know the origin of the 棒 "cool" usage? Was it just a phonetic appropriation? John, mountain of linguistics strength?

It's great to have you guys back again! I missed hearing the bong hit/coffee sip on my Monday morning commute. Keep up the good work!

If Ken expects us to listen to (literally) hundreds of podcasts, I wish he would stop using the word "now" to start almost every single sentence.

Dave - I thought the 辛 in 辛拉面 meant "spicy"...and isn' that "xin" instead of "xing"? (没有后鼻音)
