Hello everyone, welcome back to our podcast! Get ready for a wild ride as we compare Indonesia and the Philippines! Ooh! I feel like we're about to embark on a tropical adventure, right here from our studio!
Hahaha! Hey folks, Leo here, ready to rumble! Mira, tropical adventures are my kind of thing. Just promise there won't be any volcanoes or giant spiders involved. This comedian is a bit scared of spiders!
Giant spiders? Where’s the fun in that? Hehe! Maybe we should add that to our list of things to compare: likelihood of encountering giant spiders! Wow!
Okay, okay, let's reel it in. Before we dive headfirst into the jungles, I have to tell you guys about my recent ordeal with technology. It was a nightmare!
Oh no, what happened this time? Did your phone finally stage a revolt? Oops!
Worse. I was trying to video call my grandma. I wanted to ask about her special noodle recipe that she always makes for me. But it was a complete disaster. The internet was so slow, it felt like we were communicating via carrier pigeon.
Hahaha! Oh Leo, Grandma's noodle recipe transmitted by carrier pigeon. That's comedy gold, right there. Ooh! I can already see the sketch!
Seriously, the screen froze every two seconds, and all I could hear was a robotic version of her voice. It sounded like a cyborg trying to give me cooking instructions.
A cyborg grandma giving noodle recipes? Hahaha! Oh my goodness, that's both terrifying and hilarious! What did you do?
I eventually gave up and drove over there. Turns out, she had written it all down for me anyway. Said she doesn't trust "those newfangled contraptions" Aha!
See? Sometimes, old school is the best school. Ahhh! So, a real life cooking lesson from grandma, with a side of tech fail. You should put that in your act!
You know, I just might. But enough about my tech troubles. What about you, Mira? Any crazy adventures since our last podcast? Hopefully, spider free!
Well, speaking of adventures... I decided to try making durian ice cream. It’s a popular fruit in Indonesia. Let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. Whoa!
Durian ice cream? Mira, you're a braver soul than I am. Durian is basically the Marmite of fruits. You either love it or you run screaming in the other direction.
Exactly! The smell alone nearly knocked me out! But I was determined. I followed a recipe I found online and I was blending it up, thinking, ‘This smells kind of like gym socks.’ Hehe!
Gym socks? That’s never a good sign for ice cream, is it? So, what happened? Did it taste as bad as it smelled?
Even worse. I invited some friends over for a taste test, thinking I’d impress them with my exotic culinary skills. The moment they took a bite, their faces turned green.
Hahaha! Green? You made people turn green? That's some serious cooking power, Mira!
I know! One friend actually ran outside for some fresh air. Another said it tasted like a garbage truck exploded in her mouth. Ouch!
A garbage truck explosion? Ouch! Okay, that’s a review you won’t be putting on the box. Hehe!
Definitely not! We ended up ordering pizza and pretending the whole thing never happened. But hey, at least we have a good story to tell, right?
A great story, indeed! Perfect for our podcast intro. So, between cyborg grandmas and durian disasters, I think we’re officially ready to compare Indonesia and the Philippines. Are you ready YouTube?
Absolutely, Leo! Let's dive in and see what these amazing countries have to offer. And maybe, just maybe, we'll find a food that smells better than gym socks and doesn't send people running for the hills. Ahhh! Let's do this!
