SUM LIGHT LUNAR NEW YEAR TALK // EP.48

Happy Lunar New Year vibes! In this episode of Sum Light Talks, Alex and Xavier ring in the Year of the Horse as Lunar New Year 2026 kicked off on February 17th. We talk all things celebrations: family reunions, red envelopes, lion dances, the big reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, fireworks, and why the 15 day Spring Festival (ending with the Lantern Festival on March 3rd) is such a massive cultural moment. Whether you're out here eating dumplings, cleaning the house for good luck, or just loving the holiday energy in the Bay Area, we got stories, traditions, and our takes on how it stacks up to other New Years. Then we switch gears to the hot new HBO series everyone's buzzing about A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (the Game of Thrones prequel based on George R.R. Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas). It premiered back on January 18th, with its six-episode first season wrapping up soon (finale dropping February 22nd!). We break down Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg's adventures, the hedge knight life, the tournament drama in The Hedge Knight, why it's got that lighter, more humorous GOT vibe compared to the dragons and thrones chaos, and our favorite moments so far. Spoiler light if you're catching up, but plenty of hype for why this one's a must-watch in the Westeros universe. Expect laughs, cultural shoutouts, fantasy roasts, and that signature Sum Light banter. Gong xi fa cai to everyone celebrating drop your Lunar New Year traditions or your thoughts on Dunk and Egg in the comments!
