🥣 FRIENDZONE(D) 🥣

So what are we? Are we friends? I think it's time to draw the line. We're getting deep this week as we discuss the pain of being friendzoned and being the one to friendzone. Trust us, it's not easy. A reminder, try not to say "I love you" right away to your secret admirer when you confess to them, because it will cause a mess. A shoulder to lean on is highly recommended, maybe a box of tissues too.

🥣 IDEAL TYPES/DEFINITION OF ATTRACTION 🥣

Ladies and gentlemen, Leng Jais and Leng Luis, we will be starting in 30 seconds. Please head over to your assigned seats if you have not already. Sit down, and buckle up because the squealing of cringey-ness will be loud and cheesy. Save yourself and have your volume on the low. This week we will be talking about ideal types, what makes our heart flutter, and our definition of attraction.

🥣 MEETING NEW PEOPLE 🥣

Sunday. 11AM. BoJoke Networking Event. Please make sure you are well equipped with a proper firm handshake, business cards in your left pocket, and a list of questions in case you run out of topics. We will be supplying you with the perspective of being an extrovert, our take on meeting new people, and discovering similar individuals that think alike. This week we really keep it juicy as Vivian exposes her mistakes and Heidi being selfish on keeping her new friends to herself. In order to attend this important event, please make sure to dress in a professional manner (that makes you feel like a badass b**). We hope to see you at the event.

🥣 ASIAN/ASIAN CANADIAN STEREOTYPES 🥣

Quick! What's 155 x 23? (We don't even know the answer right away). We admit both of us aren't the best in math, but most of us Asians are. Right? The greatest equation of a typical Asian = having a career that your parents want + playing an instrument + bad driving + taking language school + drinking bubble tea(boba?) + eating rice every day. Grab your bowl of congee and have some good laughs at our stories this week as we talk about our Asian Canadian stereotypes.

P.S. Heidi's right (zza), Vivian's wrong (zhai).

🥣 ASIAN HOUSE RULES/TRADITIONS/BELIEFS 🥣

Which one are you going to grab first to protect yourself? The infamous Flip flop? Or the Asian broomstick? Make sure you're listening closely because this week it's all about running away from stories about deal-breaking Asian household rules, staying true to traditions, and beliefs.

🥣 MAKING/TYPES OF FRIENDS 🥣

You're invited! Welcome to the BoJoke friend group! We're curious, are you the shy friend, out-going friend, or socially awkward friend? (Cues the song, 'You've Got A Friend In Me'). Stay tuned as Heidi and Vivian talk about their own friend groups, leaving friends behind, and toxicity. Grab some snacks, because it's really boiling this week.

🥣 OUR CHILDHOOD 🥣

We're bringing back our childhood favourites! This week we're keeping the dishes fresh but familiar as we talk about our family background, childhood shows, Asian snacks, Western or Asian medicine, and what we wore as a kid growing up as a Chinese Born Canadian! Come join our table, because we can guarantee that the dishes will keep coming.

Two friends, Heidi and Vivian born in the late 90s from Vancouver, Canada talking about their experiences and stories as CBCs (Chinese Born Canadians) while both coming from Cantonese backgrounds. BoJoke Podcast is all about being transparent while exploring topics in relationships, adulting, food, music, business, art and just LIFE.

BoJoke or “煲粥”, is literally defined as “cooking congee”. Before smartphones and the internet came about, individuals would spend hours talking over the phone. Chinese people often use the metaphor, “cooking telephone congee” to express how individuals are talking very long (over the phone) that it’s as if they’re slow cooking congee the whole day. Congee is cooked over low heat for a long period of time. Usually served on Sundays, giving a homie and comforting feeling to the family.

🥣  INTRODUCTIONS 🥣

Hello world!!! On our first episode, we will touch on what is the meaning of the podcast name, what will this podcast be about, and introducing ourselves. How did we first meet? What was your first impression of each other? Did I give off a good vibe? Tell us a funny story about the other person!

Sorry about the audio quality for one of our mics, we didn't realize it until after we recorded, try to keep your volume low.

Please give us a review to tell us how we did! We welcome you to join our dimsum table to enjoy a bowl of hot steamy congee.
