EP41 Emily in Mexico Season 2: Cancún

Emily did not get defeated by her miserable experience in Mexico City last time, and she's back in Mexico for a tropical week of relaxation. In this episode, Emily shares her weeklong trip to Cancún at an all-inclusive resort. No food poisoning this time of course, but the story took a minor turn…

EP39 Are hot dogs sandwiches?

EP39 Are hot dogs sandwiches?

Are hot dogs sandwiches? The Cube Rule brings a new perspective by identifying foods based on their starch location (weird, we know). In this episode we discuss the bizarre food classification that went viral in 2018.


The Cube Rule: ⁠https://cuberule.com/⁠


Verdict: The Cube Rule is for pure entertainment only. Being technically correct isn’t always useful, but food debates can definitely break ice and spark conversations. And that, is all we need to know.

EP36 《喝個爛醉,因為我們是人類》

喝酒和人類歷史到底有什麼關係?今天要從一本書《喝個爛醉,因為我們是人類》和大家聊聊「酒醉」這件事。原來從古至今,全世界每個民族都很愛喝個爛醉。最後!如果想知道在美國未成年飲酒上法庭、電影裡演的AA meeting到底在幹嘛可以直接拉到 27:50 聽Emily(非常精彩的)分享!


讀書筆記今天只針對這本書的幾個章節(古埃及、希臘、蘇美)分享,不希望暴雷太多,推薦給有興趣的朋友:)

- 聰明的蘇美人果然聰明!用吸管喝酒

- 古埃及把喝酒當極限運動,邊吐邊喝,僕人隨時待命

- 哲學理性思考的古希臘,練喝酒也要練人品

- 喝酒是福!能喝酒就不喝水!!


*禁止酒駕,喝酒請勿開車

EP35 Sorry I never text back

EP35 Sorry I never text back

We now live in an age when instant communication is possible — with emails, SMS, social media, you can get to anyone pretty much anytime and anywhere. With an immense amount of digital exchange, it’s easy to find yourself worn out from time to time. In this episode, Emily and I dived into texting culture and etiquette, how to deal with bad texters, and more.  

To our friends: we would still love to get messages from you, just know that even if we don’t respond, we are still thinking of you.

EP33 What's on The Menu? A must see film!

EP33 What's on The Menu? A must see film!

In this episode, Leslie and Emily share their thoughts on the 2022 comedy horror film The Menu, starring Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy. It's a brilliant movie and a satire set in the world of fine dining and foodie culture. The movie explores the dark side of the culinary world, some of the portrayals are wildly accurate and it's a great social commentary. We absolutely love this movie and encourage everyone to watch it if you haven't!
Warning: this episode contains major spoilers for The Menu movie.
