We're celebrating our sweet 16 this week!
We begin (1:20) with a game based on news euphemisms created by local officials: for example, 'water accumulation' instead of flooding and 'not-on-time service' instead of a delayed flight. We came up with a few fake headlines featuring our own made-up euphemisms and tried to guess what they meant.
Then (9:16), we debate our favorite and least-favorite types of local vegetables, a companion segment to our fruit argument from a few months ago. How do you feel about eggplants or lotus root?
Our interview segment (20:52) features Vu Minh Tu, a hilarious stand-up comedian from Hanoi who has been performing in Saigon for the last nine months. She got real about the reasons why she got into stand-up, as well as how the scene has evolved here.
Follow the Saigon Funny People Facebook page to find out when she's performing next.
As always, we close with Banh Mi Banter (32:45).
