Saying 'anjing' as an insult in public could land you 4 months in jail under Indonesian law.
The episode opens with a discussion on Indonesian law, where using 'anjing' as an insult in public can lead to 4 months in jail under Article 315 KUHP. The hosts explore the word's origins, suggesting it stems from Dutch colonial times when mercenary units had dog symbols, leading to the derogatory term 'anjing-anjing Belanda'. They compare insults, noting 'anjing' feels more offensive than 'monyet' due to its phonetic impact. Stories of absurd nicknames follow, like a friend named Iqbal who became 'Itil' after shouting it during a sudden silence, and another named Riko who was called 'Silit' because he looked like a less handsome version of a senior named Alit. The hosts recall school days, mentioning nicknames like 'Radit Kampung' and 'Radit Kota' based on skin tone. They shift to high school traditions, describing the 'Pas Kibra' flag-raising squad's initiation rituals, which involved searching for clues in pitch-black classrooms at night to overcome fear. The conversation meanders to modern life, with one host admitting to sleeping with AirPods playing podcasts or music, leading to dreams influenced by true crime stories. They cite a THT specialist, Dr. Bagas Wicaksono from Kemang Medical Care, who recommends the 60-60 rule: no more than 60% volume for 60 minutes daily to prevent hearing damage, a guideline also supported by WHO. The episode ends with light banter about DJs using in-ear monitors and the term 'lollipop' for telephone shapes, tying back to the absurd, conversational tone throughout.
