Story Transcript:
Nl: In het bruisende wetenschapsmuseum, waar de geur van pas gepoetste vloeren de lucht vulde, dwaalde Jeroen rond met zijn ogen stralend van verwondering.
En: In the bustling science museum, where the smell of freshly polished floors filled the air, Jeroen wandered around with eyes glowing with wonder.
Nl: Het was herfst, en de bomen buiten hadden bladeren die net zo fel gekleurd waren als de interactieve tentoonstellingen binnen.
En: It was autumn, and the trees outside had leaves as vividly colored as the interactive exhibitions inside.
Nl: Jeroen, een nieuwsgierige uitvinder met wat slordige trekjes, was verblind door de holografische beelden van dinosaurussen die werkelijk leken te leven.
En: Jeroen, a curious inventor with some untidy habits, was dazzled by the holographic images of dinosaurs that seemed truly alive.
Nl: Zijn aandacht werd getrokken door een gigantisch hologram van een T-Rex.
En: His attention was captured by a gigantic hologram of a T-Rex.
Nl: "Dit moet het zijn," mompelde Jeroen, "deze nieuwe virtuele dierenwinkel waarover ik heb gehoord!"
En: "This must be it," murmured Jeroen, "the new virtual pet shop I heard about!"
Nl: Met zijn hart vol opwinding geloofde hij dat hij thuis een virtuele T-Rex kon houden.
En: With his heart full of excitement, he believed he could have a virtual T-Rex at home.
Nl: "Hey, Sanne!
En: "Hey, Sanne!
Nl: Pieter!
En: Pieter!
Nl: Kom eens kijken," riep hij.
En: Come and look," he called.
Nl: Sanne en Pieter, zijn trouwe vrienden, kwamen erbij.
En: Sanne and Pieter, his loyal friends, joined him.
Nl: Sanne zag er enigszins bedenkelijk uit.
En: Sanne looked somewhat doubtful.
Nl: "Jeroen, volgens mij is dit gewoon een tentoonstelling," waarschuwde ze.
En: "Jeroen, I think this is just an exhibition," she warned.
Nl: Maar Jeroen was niet te stuiten.
En: But Jeroen was unstoppable.
Nl: "Nee, nee, dit is een AI-huisdier," stond hij op zijn strepen.
En: "No, no, this is an AI pet," he insisted.
Nl: "Kunnen we dit niet hacken en de T-Rex 'adopteren'?"
En: "Can't we hack this and 'adopt' the T-Rex?"
Nl: Pieter, altijd in voor een geintje, gaf Jeroen een knipoog.
En: Pieter, always up for a joke, gave Jeroen a wink.
Nl: "Laten we het proberen," zei hij.
En: "Let's try it," he said.
Nl: Samen keken ze naar de complexe interface van het display.
En: Together, they looked at the complex interface of the display.
Nl: Toen ze probeerden de tentoonstelling te "downloaden," ging er ineens een luid alarm af.
En: When they attempted to "download" the exhibition, a loud alarm suddenly went off.
Nl: Rode lichten begonnen te flitsen, bezoekers stopten verrast met hun activiteiten en het personeel kwam snel toegesneld.
En: Red lights began to flash, visitors stopped their activities in surprise, and staff quickly arrived on the scene.
Nl: "Wat is hier aan de hand?"
En: "What is going on here?"
Nl: vroeg de curator, met een mengeling van verbazing en amusement.
En: asked the curator, with a mixture of astonishment and amusement.
Nl: Jeroen, met een rode blos van schaamte op zijn wangen, legde uit dat hij dacht dat de T-Rex een nieuwe virtuele aanwinst kon zijn voor zijn huis.
En: Jeroen, with a red blush of embarrassment on his cheeks, explained that he thought the T-Rex could be a new virtual addition to his home.
Nl: De curator lachte hartelijk.
En: The curator laughed heartily.
Nl: "Helaas, Jeroen," zei ze vriendelijk, "maar de dinosaurussen zijn hier om alleen te bewonderen, niet om mee naar huis te nemen."
En: "Unfortunately, Jeroen," she said kindly, "but the dinosaurs are here only to be admired, not to be taken home."
Nl: Jeroen grinnikte beschaamd.
En: Jeroen chuckled sheepishly.
Nl: Sanne en Pieter konden hun lach niet inhouden.
En: Sanne and Pieter couldn't hold back their laughter.
Nl: Nadat de storm was gaan liggen, begreep Jeroen zijn vergissing.
En: After the commotion died down, Jeroen understood his mistake.
Nl: Hij besefte dat sommige dingen beter even gecontroleerd kunnen worden voor hij acties onderneemt.
En: He realized that some things are better checked before taking action.
Nl: "Misschien moet ik wat grondiger onderzoeken voor ik mijn conclusies trek," gaf hij toe, terwijl hij de amusante les ter harte nam.
En: "Maybe I should research a bit more thoroughly before drawing my conclusions," he admitted, taking the amusing lesson to heart.
Nl: Jeroen bleef even fantasierijk als altijd, maar met een beetje meer voorzichtigheid in zijn aanpak.
En: Jeroen remained as imaginative as ever, but with a bit more caution in his approach.
Nl: Zijn vrienden stonden nog steeds klaar zijn volgende avontuur in het museum, want zijn nieuwsgierigheid maakte elke dag een avontuur op zich.
En: His friends were still ready for his next adventure in the museum, for his curiosity made every day an adventure in itself.
Nl: En zo keerde de rust terug in het museum, klaar voor het volgende hoofdstuk in Jeroens kleurrijke leven.
En: And so peace returned to the museum, ready for the next chapter in Jeroen's colorful life.

You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait... That's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB Mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake.
Because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. This is Ashley Akinetti from the Almost Amused Podcast.

Searching through the holographic pictures of that photos 두�있는 whom they truly wanted. His attention was touched by a gigantic hologram of a T-rex. This must be it. Montpel de Yeroux, this new four-tuel animal that I have heard about. With his heart full of attention he believed that he would keep a four-tuel T-rex. Hey, Sannen. Peter. Come and look, Riep. Sannen and Peter are faithful friends, close friends. Sannen has been carefully out of his mind for a few days. Yeroux, in the end, is this a temporary exhibition, where they were. But Yeroux was not allowed to do so. No, no, this is an AI house, where he stood on his feet.
We can't adapt this and the T-rex. Peter always gives in for a giant, funny, and snob. Let's try it, he says. Sannen look at the complete interface of the display. When they tried to download the content, they went into one and allowed alarm. The red light started to shine, visitors stopped the surprise with their activities and the staff quickly quickly. What is here on the hand? The curator flew with a means of cleaning and amusement. Yeroux, with a red light on his feet, he thought that the T-rex is a new, virtual guest for his house. The curator laughed hard.
Unfortunately, Yeroux are friendly, but the dinosaurs are here to only be able to get to the house. Yeroux is willing to be protected. Sannen and Peter couldn't keep his light. After the storm was going to light, the king of the world began to forget. He realized that some things could be controlled by the king before he was accepted. Maybe I should find something to look for for my conclusion. He was very excited to hear the news of the museum. Yeroux was also fantastic as always, but with a little more careful in his attack. His friends still stood clear and followed the adventure in the museum, because his new skill made every day an adventure.
And so the Russians returned to the museum, clear for the next headpiece in Yeroux's colorful life. Let's take another listen. Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. In the bustling science museum where the smell of freshly polished floors filled the air, Yeroux wandered around with eyes glowing with wonder. It was rough, and the bones out of it had the bladens that were not so much colored when the interactive tons of thinnestellings were born. It was autumn, and the trees outside had leaves as vividly colored as the interactive exhibitions inside. Yeroux is a curious invention with some kind of heavy cracks.
It was filled with the holographic images of the dinosaurs who were really looking for life. Yeroux, a curious inventor with some untidy habits, was dazzled by the holographic images of dinosaurs that seemed truly alive. His attention was captured by a gigantic hologram of a Terex. This must be it, murmured Yeroux, the new virtual pet shop I heard about. With his heart full of attention he believed that he had a virtual Terex to stay. With his heart full of excitement, he believed he could have a virtual Terex at home.
Hey, Sanna! Hey, Sann! Peter! Peter! Come and look at me, Riephei! Come and look, he called. Sanna and Peter, their brave friends, were with him. Sann and Peter, his loyal friends, joined him. Sanna looked so much more suspicious. Sann looked somewhat doubtful. Yeroux, following me, is this life a tons of thinnestellings, were they? Yeroux, I think this is just an exhibition, she warned. But Yeroux was not to stout. But Yeroux was unstoppable. No, no, this is an AI pet, he insisted.
Can we not have the Terex to adopt? Can't we hack this and adopt the Terex? Peter, all the time for a giant, funny, round book. Peter always up for a joke, gave Yeroux a wink. Let's try, Zeyhhei. Let's try it, he said. Sanna looked at the complex interface of the display. Together, they looked at the complex interface of the display. When they attempted to download the exhibition, a loud alarm suddenly went off.
Red lights began to flash, visitors stopped their activities in surprise, and staff quickly arrived on the scene. What is here on the hand? What is going on here? Fuchte curator, met a manning from verbasing and amusement. Ask the curator, with a mixture of astonishment and amusement. Yeroux, with a red blouse of blood on his wall, he thought that the Terex would be a new, new, fourth-year-old woman and his house. Yeroux, with a red blush of embarrassment on his cheeks, explained that he thought the Terex could be a new virtual addition to his home. The curator laughed hard. The curator laughed hard. He laughed. Yeroux said friendly, but the dinosaurs are here to only be allowed to take home.
Unfortunately, Yeroux, she said kindly, but the dinosaurs are here only to be admired, not to be taken home. Yeroux, finally, screamed. Yeroux chuckled sheepishly. Somme and Peter couldn't hold in their laughter. Sann and Peter couldn't hold back their laughter. After the storm was going to light, the Piroune began to rise. After the commotion died down, Yeroux understood his mistake. He realized that some things could be controlled by the actors. He realized that some things are better checked before taking action. Maybe I should be looking for a reason to find my conclusion. He was the one who gave the most of the most of the heart.
Maybe I should research a bit more thoroughly before drawing my conclusions, he admitted, taking the amusing lesson to heart. Yeroux was also a fantastic actor as always, but with a little more careful in his approach. Yeroux remained as imaginative as ever, but with a bit more caution in his approach. His friends were still still in the museum, because his curiosity made him an adventure. His friends were still ready for his next adventure in the museum, for his curiosity made every day an adventure in itself. And so he returned back to the museum. And so he returned to the museum, ready for the next chapter in Yeroux's colorful life.
