This last episode encapsulates our whole podcast: totally no distractions, the best audio quality, in-sync opinions and cold hard facts. In other words, none of that is true, and we just let loose and talked about our fave books, movies, and music. We also look back and get really cheesy with takeaways and time capsules. We'll miss recording these …

In our second last episode for this season, we go bilingual biiiiish. Thought I could use Leo as a tandem partner so that at least I get something out of this :P. But for real, I'm gonna miss recording so we decided just to enjoy our final two episodes and end with fun topics. Hope you enjoy them as well <3 Jhan PS. sorry for all the background noi…

In this episode, we talk about talents from a Filipino and German perspective. We also catch you up on our summer in Germany and all the cute cultural differences that I have the pleasure of re-experiencing. One instance includes a very homophobic situation so *trigger warning* in advance. Jhan --- Follow us on Insta for extra behind the scenes con…

Happy Pride! I'm baaack in Germany so we recorded together in the same place *for the first time this season*. We caught up a bit and talked about gender reveal parties, gender roles, the difference between gender and sex, and Leo comes up with examples of gay-washing and bad storytelling lol. Although I'll never tell Leo, it was actually fun to ta…

It's been too long since the last episode without a topic so here we go again. It wasn't all over the place as I thought it would be. I guess it's because Leo didn't actually talk about fishing lol. We talk about my inner cultural conflict, Leo's gambling addiction, and sooo much more. Jhan PS. Thanks for all the love on the engagement, ily <3 --- …

So as I put a little disclaimer in front of the episode, this one is not for audiophiles. Jhan didn't have the greatest wifi and had to record under rough circumstances. We tried to make the best of it (even in the editing) and hope you still enjoy this episode. We talked about our ways of expressing love and affection and Jhan gave a little review…

In this episode, Leo walks me through the juicy details behind festivals and we talk about our experiences with drinking and partying. Mama if you're reading this, please don't listen to this episode.

In this episode, we talk about mental health and what we do to stay sane. We don't usually talk about topics like this when we hang out because Leo always changes the topic. This time I didn't let him. >:) Jhan --- Follow us on Insta for extra behind the scenes content: https://www.instagram.com/filipinobratwurst/ --- Send in a voice message: https…

In this episode, we talk about how we adapt to change, getting older, and who we would revive from the past if given the chance. My answers are a bit embarrassing but at least I don't share ten minutes stories that have no point *Leo*. Jhan --- Follow us on Insta for extra behind the scenes content: https://www.instagram.com/filipinobratwurst/ --- …

In this episode, we talk about the state of the world, dealing with hopelessness, and all that deep stuff. Leo actually expresses his feelings! WOAAAH.

In this episode, it took Leo thirty minutes before he figured out what superstitions are. So instead of telling me the German ones, he gave examples of things that feel illegal but aren’t. Need I say more? Lol. Jhan --- Follow us on Insta for extra behind the scenes content: https://www.instagram.com/filipinobratwurst/ --- Send in a voice message: …

Now we're long distance - Leo's in Germany and I'm in the Philippines! Leo just woke up, please tell him to get his shit together. :P Jhan --- Send in …

Weeeeeeee‘re back! Our two-part season premiere coming at you in three, two... Mabuhay & Hallo once again. This one we recorded in December before Christmas in Germany and we talk about the hiatus, what happened, what changed and what stayed the same. So much sheeeeee. We‘ve missed you hoes and we're so excited for this new season. Leo & Jhan --- S…

After 25 episodes and 6 months later... here we are. The final episode of our first season. We go through a highlight reel of the entire experience so far. Thanks for sticking with us! <3 -Jhan&Leo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filipinobratwurst/message

Our first episode recorded digitally aaaaye. We talked about our pet peeves/things that annoy us. It was fun because we got to rant a lot. The audio quality isn’t perfect because someone messed up their audio file (not gonna mention names >.< ) but the episode turned out really good. We’ll work on the quality for the next one, promise! (hear that, …

In this episode, our substitute Bratwurst and I talk about travel and the countries we've been to, the best and worst experiences while traveling, and lots of little insider tips and tricks when traversing new places. Plus another Bratwurst makes an appearance so make sure to stick til the end ;D. stay cuuuuute, Jhan --- Send in a voice message: ht…

Just a quick little banter episode this week because we had some exploring to do in Berlin. We share what we're excited about now that the pandemic regulations are easing up and talk about our travel experiences. We'll continue with a proper deep dive into the topics next week. ;D til then J&L --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify…

Since we incorporate stereotypes in almost all of our episodes, we wanted to talk specifically about them. Are they just harmless socially constructed concepts of specific demographics or are they actually the root of all evil? Listen to find out! We also talk about our recent encounter with the police, Leo's conversations with his dad, and stereot…

This week, we share what else we do besides talking to a mic. We get real corporate in this episode and talk about all the jobs we've had and what we currently do for a living. Find out how Leo's privilege got checked by his former boss and how he went from fishboi to salesbish! My first job was also cute but I'm not proud of it. You'll find out wh…

This was definitely the episode I was most excited about! I got veeeeery passionate so I ended up talking like crazy and quoting an old film that debunks the theory that fashion has no substance. Leo gives some straight boy examples of how he implemented his fashion skills during his teeny days and I share some tips on how to be stylish on a budget…

In this episode, Leo steps up his preparation game and came up with the idea of talking about public holidays. We go through the cute list of occasions celebrated in Germany, the Philippines, and America & we find out the many cultural differences in how we celebrate global holidays such as Christmas and New Year's. There are obvious differences su…

We all know someone with an innate ability to light up a room with their presence. They just have that extra pep in their step that makes the world wonder in awe. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little. But for real, confidence is something Leo and I both think is an essential part of life. We are both usually confident but there are also times when…

Mabuhay & Hallo to all our loyal listeners (and the new ones too! hiiii), In this episode, I once again counted on Leo's planning skills to get us through. All I can say is, you're in for a treat! We talk about the most interesting topics: fishing, fishing, fishing, and what else? You guessed correctly...fishing! Plus cruise ships, our claim to fam…

In this very special episode, we are joined by the loves of our lives to talk about relationships! We talk about how we met, first dates, growth, change and all those cheesy relationship stuff. This one was soooo fun to record and some real tea gets spilled. Hope you guys enjoy. <3 xoxo Jhan & Leo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spo…

As I was editing, I noticed Leo was being a Miesepeter (one of my fave German words) the whole time. He was sooo moody. Then I realized why at around minute 41 of the episode. You will hear him mention it. LOOOOL. So straight. In this episode, we talk about our families! We compare the traditions and experiences with my Filipino fam vs. Leo's Germa…

Soooooo.... Leo and I usually take turns planning out the episodes. This week, he wanted us to just wing it and talk about current events and chat about everything we want (I'm pretty sure it was just an excuse because he didn't prepare lol). I went with it and we ended up talking about everything under the sun and I also share a life hack on how t…

You know those moments when you visit a new place and try to navigate your way through it? Were there things that made you go WTF and say “damn bish why y’all do that?” In this episode, Leo and I talk about all the culture shocks we’ve experienced visiting/living in countries foreign to us. We look at Vietnam, Australia, Germany, the Philippines, J…

So as a special 10th episode, I (Leo) convinced Jhan to do a German one. He was super nervous about it, but I think he did such a great job, also considering it is his third (!) language. So since we are such nice people, we recorded another one, so we don't exclude anyone from listening to the podcast. I hope you will enjoy it, leave a like on Ins…

Jhan came up to me and said he wanted to do an episode on our strengths and weaknesses, assessed by ourselves. He then went on, clarifying that we won't talk about how strong I am physically, but rather about character traits. The audacity that he thought it was important to tell me that I don't have to give an insight on my biceps is unbelievable.…

Ever wondered what's it like growing up Filipino? German? Well, you're about to get two for the price of one - bargain! We go back to nostalgia territory and look back at fond memories of our typical weekends in the Philippines, Germany, and Australia. Leo planned this episode so I'm kinda proud of him and he asks some serious questions at the end.…

Ooooh, this episode got me going! I've been a social media hoe for most of my life so I could finally share all my innermost thoughts about this modern (addictive) phenomenon. In this episode, we look back at our earliest memories of social media, we decipher our reasons for posting (Leo's reasons are interesting, I'll just say that lol), and I sha…

The good times, am I right? The big changes that come with growing up, driving, and being able to buy alcohol. Just kidding, there is way more to it than we can fit into one episode. We pretty much did a quick dip in the pool of memories and shared our most embarrassing moments of growing up. Uhh, that was two spicy stories, but I'm not gonna spoil…

In this episode, we talk about what self-care means to us individually. We get into the nitty-gritty of skincare, getting dressed, and our morning routines. There was a time that Leo and I went out partying for Halloween and this boy came from basketball practice, said "okay, I need five minutes" and within four and a half he was ready to go. My va…

So Jhan made me write the description this time. *sigh* I know that is hard on all of us, but let's get it over with. So what did we talk about? Pretty much just friendships and how different we approach those relationships. Me being the bad friend/texter/keeping up with-er, and Jhan the literal opposite. He is so caring and empathetic *yawn*. Apar…

In this episode, I share my coming out story while Leo tries not to get cancelled. It was kind of nerve-wracking revisiting these emotional moments so I'm glad Leo was sensitive enough to hold back his dad jokes in between. Nevertheless, it was reassuring to look back at how far I've come after being scared for so long. Little me would be proud *wi…

In this episode, we talk about what we love and *not so love* about being Filipino and German. We take a closer look at the good, the bad, and the in-betweens, simultaneously offending and complimenting our nations. This episode highlights how our nationality affects our identities and contributes to shaping our attitudes and behaviors. Ultimately,…

Welcome to Filipino Bratwurst. So let's be real. This is just a Pilot, which is a nice way of saying it's a mess. We are trying to introduce ourselves and get a feeling for making a podcast. We are Jhan and Leo, two dudes from contrasting backgrounds with different perspectives and experiences in life. We don't take ourselves too seriously, despite…
