Below is what Bang Mpin says in the video above with English translations.

Bang Mpin: Nah! Hari ini gue lagi di daerah Pademangan. Seneng banget karena siang ini dapet konten Nasi Padang yang enak banget. Kalo ngeliat dari video TikTok yang gue liat ya. Mereka tu punya jenis ayam bakar yang dia punya coating bumbunya tu tebel banget. Medok banget! Dan pas gue dateng, mereka lagi pada bakar.. ee.. rumah, ya? Lagi pada bakar ayam. (Yo! Today, I'm currently at Pademangan. I'm so excited because this afternoon, I got a video about Nasi Padang that looks very delicious. When I look at the video on TikTok, this place has a grilled chicken menu, and the marinade of the grilled chicken is so thick. So thick! And when I came to this place, they were grilling.. hmm.. houses? No! They were grilling chicken.)

[Medok] in this video refers to the marinade that is so thick, used when grilling the chicken, as you can see in the clip above.

The second example is taken from a TV Program called Tonight Show Net. Let's watch the clip below.

Below is the conversation from the clip above with English translations.

Desta: Channel Youtubenya sudah ada lima juta subscribers. (His YouTube channel has got five million subscribers.)

Vincent: Wow! (Wow!)

Desta: Namanya Korea Reo.. (The name of the channel is Korea Reo..)

Hansol: Mit! (Mit!)

Desta & Vincent: Reomit? (Reomit?)

Hansol: Betul! (Correct!)

Hesti: Reomit. (Reomit.)

Desta: Bukannya Roemit, ya? (Isn't it Roemit?)

Hansol: Reomit. Jadi, kalo Korea.. Ni langsung, ya? Berarti.. (Reomit. So, if Korea.. This, should I just start? It means..)

Hesti: Medok, ya? Hahaha. (You have a very thick accent! Hahaha.)

Hansol: Medok, ya? Jadi, Korea kan biasanya Selatan sama Utara kita taunya. Cuman kan saya dulu besarnya di Jawa Timur. Jadi, pingin Korea sama Timur tapi identitas kota Malangnya pingin saya masukkan. Nah.. (Very thick accent, yes. People usually know South Korea and North Korea. But I was raised in East Java, though. So, I want Korea and Timur as the name of my channel, but I also want to include something from the city of Malang. So..)

[Medok] in this clip refers to the way Hansol speaks Indonesian. He has a very thick Javanese accent when speaking Bahasa Indonesia.
