Hoff & Prof might look and act young, but they are no spring chickens. As the Chinese moon festival approaches the chaps discuss, over tea and Moon Cake, the trials and tribulations of navigating the world of social media and the massive changes and challenges ahead for two old duffers stuck in the 1990’s. They chat with Prof’s young lad, Lucas, who like most young scraps these days, know’s this stuff inside out.
