• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Good next to.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. Welcome to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the middle of the week. Uh, were there any matches
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at 3 a.m. or something last night? There was Argentina
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and Egypt and Colombia and Switzerland. OK, I am spent.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I cannot, like can the World Cup end already? I'm tired. tired.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Joakim was just catching me up on apparently what
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: was a very exciting game last night, which you didn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: wake up for. I'm very shocked. Exhausted. I'm very surprised
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that you didn't have the willpower because it was, I mean,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: You, you like Argentina too, right? I mean, I love
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: watching Lionel Messi play. He was amazing. And the story
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: is this, if you missed it, Egypt against Argentina, where
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: most footballing fans would have gone, a yeah, it's a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: sure win for Argentina.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: But Egypt made it very hard for them. They were
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: up 2-0. I read, I read up till the seventy-something
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: minute where Argentina just came back with a goal, Lionel
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Messi scores again, and at the dying few moments.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea makes it 3-2 to Argentina. Argentina
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: have now progressed to the round of the quarterfinals, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they await to see who they'll face between Colombia and Switzerland. So,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: did I predict this one correctly?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Argentina, I did, right? Yes, you did. How funny would
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it be if like I got it wrong almost all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the way and then somehow it right that it's wrong.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: In our prediction, you actually picked Argentina to win the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: World Cup again. Oh, he got a chance, a chance.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: See, it's not so bad after all if you follow
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: my advice. So for example, if Argentina wins the quarterfinal
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: game and go into the semi-finals and England beats Norway,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it's a classic rematch of England against Argentina in the semi-finals.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Why do I feel like you told me this before? Yes,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it's a video and you picked Argentina. OK. Broke my
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: heart a bit. Oh really? Yeah, OK. I want England
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to win. and if England wins, we win because I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: got invested interest.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Who's the popular England player again, aside from David Beckham?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Harry Kane. Harry Kane, yes, that's right. Beckham has retired. Sorry,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I know, but he was from there. Have you ever
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: been to Boston? No, I've only seen it from afar.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I've actually, I've actually been there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Weirdly enough, it was for, for some, I was for
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: some event, but still, like Boston is such a university town, right?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: The moment you go there, you realize like, wow, how
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: nice would it be if I ended up in one
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of these like top universities here. If I ever go
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to Boston, it will be because I want to do
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Oh right, yeah, they're world-famous, right? I want to experience
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Heartbreak Hill in the flesh. Yeah. And what exactly is that?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Like a very challenging upslope. Yeah, so Heartbreak Hill is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a very gradual climb. I think it's at the 30
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: km mark where loads of people, uh, they, they kind
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of give up halfway. And also Heartbreak Hill got its
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: name because I think in a Boston Marathon from some
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: years ago, there was a guy who was in the lead,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: but the hill's gradient was too much.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: For him, he got taken over. Yeah, and he didn't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: manage to, he didn't win. Oh, he didn't win. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they call it Heartbreak Hill. Well, you know, I think
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: if you walk, you might still be able to get
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: over it, right? I mean, if you're going for good timing, OK,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: nobody walks. I get it, but sometimes it's a matter
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of like even getting over the hill in the first place. Yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know what, before I even go to Boston, let
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: me conquer Singapore's BYD International marathon first, right, right, then
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But you've done that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Plenty of time. So maybe it's time for you to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: try overseas. I've been trying for the last 9 years
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: now to do a marathon in under 4 hours. So
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I really hope this year will be that year because
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I've been running strong as of late, right? Yeah, you've
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: been training and finally my left knee isn't giving too
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: much problems, but it's still July. The marathons in December.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: A lot can happen in 5 months. I know, yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard that song in a while.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Um, coming up in less than 10 minutes, we would
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: love to open up phone lines and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think a special mention to a school we're dropping
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: by this afternoon. Yes, do we say it now? Yes, yes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Orchid Park Secondary School over at the Yishun area. We'll
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: be seeing you later for the assembly of your lifetime.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Oh it was so funny because apparently one of the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: teachers or head of departments there is like an old
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: friend of my mom's. Oh wow. Yeah, like they were
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: classmates back in school or something like that. So.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: This friend of hers became like a teacher. She's been
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like her whole life, and I believe that she's one
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of the teachers that she texted my mom. She said, Hey,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think your daughter is coming to my school.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Don't think it's correct. We'll be there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: we'll be there. But can you promise me after we finish,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we go for either the Yishun Laksa or Chongang Nasi Lema?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Will they be open in the middle of the afternoon,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like 3 p.m., that kind of vibe? I will Google
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: now and go and check. Yes. So, hey, if you're
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: from Orkid Park Sec, um, try to call us this morning.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Why not, right? Maybe ahead of us going down to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: your school. Any other school can do as well.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: 11-987 be on standby. Yeah, we're opening up about to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: open up phone lines right now. 669-119-87. Give your school
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a shout out. Tell us what's amazing about your school.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And if anyone is from Orchid Park Secondary School, you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: can tell us what's amazing about your canteen. Yeah, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're going there later. I don't mind trying the food. Yeah, yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So let us know and you can request for a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: song as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: are now open 669-11987. Hello. Hi, what's your name? Marco. Hi, Marco,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: which school are you from? Punggol Coast Primary School. Punggol Coast.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Big shout out. This is the first time we're getting
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that school, by the way. So tell us what, what
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: do you like about your school? I like my friends.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: What level are you in this year, Marco? I'm going
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to the aquarium.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Aquarium is so cute. I used to love like going
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: on excursions in school. The one at Sentosa, the oceanarium. Yeah.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That would be so you're gonna have so much fun.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: We're excited for you. OK, Marco, what, what song can
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we get you today? Imagine Dragon. Alright, Marco, that's coming
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: up for you right now. Yeah, have a great day. OK.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: This morning, don't know if you're a big fan of him,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: but Stefan Chow.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's an icon and a classic. Has a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: new movie coming out very soon. Is it a comedy?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And this is touted as the successor to his 2001
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: smash hit Shaolin Soccer. Oh really? This will be called
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Kung Fu Soccer. Oh my, wait, wasn't there another similar
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sounding Kung Fu Hustle Kung Fu.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So, and then there was another like football one. Noah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: am I thinking of it wrongly? OK, maybe it's the same.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking kung fu hustle, there you go. So kungfu
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: soccer will be following Shaolin soccer, but this time it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: will focus on the women's football team. Oh. OK. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: here's my question, alright. Knowing how Stefan Chow is from
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And maybe the movie might be filmed in Cantonese. So
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: will it be screened in Cantonese? Yeah, so this is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: where I want to combine both news into one. Apparently,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Singapore government is prepared to allow more screenings of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Chinese dialect films while upholding the importance of Mandarin. OK, OK.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I actually, I feel like we don't, we
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: are not putting Mandarin as a backseat. I think that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: just has been an
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Increasing interest in dialect, it doesn't mean that we are putting, yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: putting Mandarin aside. So long story short, it's like our
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: mom and dad saying you can go and watch, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: don't forget why Piawang qi well, um, I've forgotten everything,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: so it's OK. Hey, but you still give a very
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: good Channel 8 interview last year for NDP. Yeah, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was very stressed. OK, no singing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And this one, very, very, very important, especially for drivers
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: if you're tuning in right now. Consider this fair warning
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that this is going to kick in very, very soon. So,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know that here in Singapore, especially in Singapore, we've
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: got very strict rules about phone usage while driving, which
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is obviously a no, you're not supposed to do that. Yeah,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and texting while driving and all that as well, which
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I guess, OK, I'm not trying to out anyone here,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but I have been in situations where
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I've gotten a car, OK, like a private hire or
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a cab or something, and, uh, even though the phone
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is mounted, right, the driver keeps using the phone. So,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know the phone mount is very important
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and you are allowed to have the phone mount and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: your phone there, but it, it, it worries me sometimes.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I think it was
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: The commander of TP back then, and I think it
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: was the muttons who did it. A viral interview where
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the commander of TP, and I'm paraphrasing here, I could
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: be wrong, he said that if you're at a traffic stop,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: if it's a red light and you're texting on your phone.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't be a problem, but once you are driving, you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: cannot be using your phone. Yeah, so if you're holding
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: any sort of communication device, OK, I guess iPad Mini
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: could be counted as I don't know. While your vehicle
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: is still in motion, it is an offense, OK.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter now whether you're using it. If
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you're merely holding it while your vehicle is moving, it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: going to be considered an offense already. But while on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the road for a red light. So, so you see,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that's the one that I'm always confused about, right, which
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I would love some clarification on that, but um let's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: just not assume, let's just not assume. To be very honest,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: maybe even at the.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like let's just not because what's frustrating is
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: sometimes I can tell when a driver is using the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: phone at the traffic light, because they didn't go. Like
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: when the when the when the light turns green, they're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: still stoning there for like a few seconds. And that's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: why your to immediately when the red light turns green. Yeah, so, um,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: just so you know, now it no longer matters whether
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you are caught using it or not, even if you're
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: holding it, that's it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Um, for first-time offenders, you could face a maximum fine
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of like $1000 or even up to 6 months jail
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: or both, depending on how bad the offense is. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, um, whether there's an example
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of the maximum kind of, uh, activity. Can I give
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you one unpopular opinion and some drivers actually have this
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in their car. I think what needs to be looked
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: at now are the video screens.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: A video screens, OK. Not at the passenger side, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the driver's side. There is no reason why a YouTube
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: series or Netflix series should be playing while you're driving.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I find it interesting because for my, my EV, right,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for my car, right, it doesn't allow you to play
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: videos and stuff. I think it's a safety feature, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I have seen certain vehicles that have like a music
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: video playing in the front. I mean, if you're using
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: your Waze or using your GPRS and all that, sure,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: no problem.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It's a YouTube series or you know a video that's playing. Yeah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I know that's that's a question and you are occasionally
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: glancing to watch the music video or the series. No lah,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: cannot lah. And you know what the interesting is yesterday
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you told me about the friendly zone or something, right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So if an offense is committed in school zones, silver zones,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: or your friendly street zones, it could incur 2 additional
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: demerit points and an additional fine as well. So that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is another layer above what I just mentioned seniors and cyclists.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So this is a reminder to myself as well because
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes I use GPS, right? But I don't actually have
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the phone, you know, the phone holder. I think I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: need to invest in one.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So now it's a gentle reminder to myself also to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: make sure that I've already mapped it out, OK, put
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it down on the charging spot on my, in my,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in the dashboard area in my car and then then
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I go. Because if you want to make any changes
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: along the way, if you get caught holding your phone,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that's it, dude. So please drive safe. So quick check
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: on on this girl. She's performing for Olivia Rodrigo's was
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it Daisy Fields Festival? Oh really? There's an all-female lineup.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to them.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: She also made a surprise appearance at a Rosal Lea's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: concert recently. OK, so yeah, that's pretty cool too. I mean, she,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: she's so iconic. Well done, Chapel Ran. Love it. That
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: said though, in terms of our transport industry here in Singapore, Sonia,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: over the next 5 years, according to whatever happened in Parliament, whoa,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the Ministry of Transport will pump $800 million wow into
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: transport research and innovation. OK, I was just gonna ask
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: like what specifically.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Of the transport industry will be getting this funding. So
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: driverless cars? Actually, you know, driverless cars are 100% a thing,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: especially in the US. I literally took that more than
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I took Uber in the US. According to Acting Minister
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of Transport Jeffrey, what he said was that, I mean,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing here, they're not going to invest in AI
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for the sake of investing in AI. They'll make sure
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's really feasible and Singapore needs it, then they will
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: develop the projects and all that, yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So, I, I'm not sure whether this is real. Someone
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: told me this recently, right, that um in certain parts
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of China, the driverless car situation is like on another level.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Like allegedly they do have um a building, right, where
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: people can actually control these driverless vehicles just in case.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Anything happens to the vehicle on the road. So there's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: someone actually there on standby virtually, and they're able to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: control the car or take over. wow, that's so cool.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Here's my question for you. Would you a driverless car?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I just said I took driverless cars more than Uber
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the US. I just said that on air. Would you,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: would you sit behind the steering wheel and let it
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: drive itself? So you can't, OK, so you can't sit
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in the driver's seat where the steering wheel is. You
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: have to sit in the back seat. Yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Um, it was actually such a great experience, um, in
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the US, ah, what was it called? Its name is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: A Waymo. It's called A Waymo. And yeah, my first
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: ride ever, I was a bit apprehensive, so I was
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: definitely looking at everything and making sure, you know, everything's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: all good, but, um, when you read about it a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: bit more and understand it, right, the satellite technology that
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it's equipped with, and if you actually look from, look
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: from the outside,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of satellites attached to every part
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: of the car. So, in that sense, it should not
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: go wrong in terms of the grid that is traveling by. Um,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of course, you cannot take it out on highways, that's
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: not allowed. You can only go within like the city itself. So, actually,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty, pretty cool experience and it,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: it gave you a lot of privacy as well, you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you can talk without like um having a driver sitting
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: there judging you eavesdropping.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But I believe that they do have like audio recording
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: systems that they, they record and dump just in case
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of people trying to be funny in the car or
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: like trying to hijack the car or something. And that's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: just you in the US. So many people raving about
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: how there's so there's plenty of driverless vehicles in China
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, exactly. So I'm pretty sure maybe our
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: friends over at MOT will be going to the US
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and China to do some research. I think they already
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: have actually and see what's feasible here.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Singapore. And one more thing that that um was also,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't have humans to do it anymore, um,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: delivery services in LA like they basically have these robots
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that are kind of moving on the roads now. It's literally,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it feel, it felt like we were not on earth.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I look at that, suddenly you see a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: random um DoorDash robot wheeling by.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Crossing the road on its own, you're like, wow, I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: living the future because you don't see it in Singapore yet,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: even though we're so modern. You know me, I'm still
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: quite skeptical with technology and all that because you're scared
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Terminator comes to life. But in the future, if
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: for example, I own a car, I wouldn't mind help
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: with the parking. That already exists. Yeah, I will just
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: give you the good news. It already exists. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Or you just hire me lah.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Hire me to teach you. I can, I can teach
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you how to park. Wow, that, that is a life
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: skill you need it. Actually, yeah, you might be easier
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to book than some of the schools here in Singapore
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: must wait forever my services not free, by the way.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Uh, let me think of a fee first. Coming up
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: after 8, I'm in an interesting situation, Joakim. OK, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: haven't actually shared this with you just yet. The question
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is are you in? OK, I'll I'll dive deeper into
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: it after 8, but maybe I'll just give you a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: quick summary first, OK? Why, why I wanna open up
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: phone lines in just a while.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Um, do you shop online sometimes? Really, not at all? Oh, OK,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: but you don't buy things online. I thought you, the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: only things I buy my vinyl records. OK, so you
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: make a pre-order or something like that. Games. Wow, I
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: sound like a man. Um, the question is, have you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: ever accidentally bought an item that you suspect was fake?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Like you only realized it after kind of situation, or
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you've never, never experienced that before. Maybe as a kid,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: you know, going to your nearest Pasar malam, you see
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: football jerseys on that one fake, right? I didn't know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, of course, we wouldn't have known.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You're like, wow, uh, back then it was like Beckham jersey. OK,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: but then you realize, hey, how come the name washes
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: off so easily and the shirt tearing. To be honest,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: even sometimes when you go to like those, um, vintage
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: thrift stores or flea markets and they might say like, oh,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: these are like luxury items or expensive.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I find it a struggle sometimes to even identify whether
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's legit and the price point is good enough for
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you not to really question it, but realistic enough for
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: you to be like, OK, maybe this could be real. So, um,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: this is not a luxury item, but I suspect I've
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: accidentally bought a fake Stanley Cup.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I suspect. And how did you make this deduction? I'm
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you after AIDS. OK. Alright, then I'm gonna
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: open up phone lines and I hope that you can
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: help me. Need your help to um figure this out
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: with me, OK? Here we go and see whether my
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: suspicions are are right in the first place. OK, so, um,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: quite some time ago, I think this was sometime last year, um,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: towards the end of last year, I needed to replace my,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: my water, my water bottle, OK.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And the reason why I gravitate towards like a Stanley Cup,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: for example, is not because I'm basic.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Because Jokim cost me basic for having a Stanley Cup.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: At least 5 out of the girls that I know
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: have a Stanley Cup. So actually I have more than
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: just this Stanley Cup. I have another, another cup from
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: another brand because they can fit into my car, uh,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: cup holder because of the base. So that's the reason
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: why a lot of us like the Stanley Cup design.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: But I think I see the Stanley Cup more than
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the other, the other bottle, right? Yeah, because of the color.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I like this color.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So when I saw that it was on, um, I'm
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: not gonna say which e-commerce platform. I saw it on
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: e-commerce platform. Is it only 3? Um, and it was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: on sale because I got it during one of those 1111, 1212,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: you know, like they've got.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: those sales every month, right? Yeah, massive discounts. So I
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, can stack the vouchers. OK, I get it,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you know, it's much cheaper, right? Got it. And uh
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I personally have not really had much issue with it.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Only recently did I start to suspect if the cup
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: is real. And of all people to run into with
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: almost the exact same cup is our boss. I want
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to give a big shout out to Arena. Hello Arena.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: So this actually just happened yesterday.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Um, had a quick meeting, right, and I saw she
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: had the same colored cup.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But then the logo color is different, OK, and certain
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: details of the cup somehow look a little, a little different.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Why do you make the Stanley Cup like a Rolex inspection? Yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: so the thing is I never really thought about that,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I just kind of trusted it because there
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: were reviews and stuff, right? So then I was like, hey, Paul,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: how come your, your Stanley Cup, the logo a bit
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: different from mine. Then it started to dawn upon me
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like I was like.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Do you think that I got a fake or a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: rip off or like a dupe or something without knowing?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Because I paid about $50 for it, $50 after the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: discounts and the Stanley Cup, OK, I think, please correct
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, it might be closer to $60
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: + 70. That's a very expensive bottle if I, if
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not wrong. OK, so now here's the question, um,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: how do I verify whether it's fake?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: For real, I don't know. Can you, I can imagine
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you going down to the Stanley Cup, saying, hey guys,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: just don't mind. Is my Stanley Cup legit? Yeah. Should
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I do that? I mean, now I'm very curious. That's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: TikTok right there because I'm concerned not whether or not
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: people know I'm carrying a fake. I mean, it's honestly
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: hard to tell, but
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Um, it wasn't my intention if it's a fake. Secondly,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I'm more worried about like it being a health hazard. You're,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: you're right because of the materials used. I'm not sure. OK,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: here's my question. But knowing how you really feel that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: your Stanley Cup is a fake, the placebo effect, exactly, exactly.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: But has the water tasted funny at some point? So
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I was just sharing this with you earlier on before
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we came on air that I wash my, you see
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: me wash my cup every day when I come in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in the pantry. Do you drain the soap properly? Of course.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: drain the soap. I even blast it with hot water
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: for a bit, like rinse it off, you know. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the thing I realized is like it does have a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: funky taste in the water, but not in a very
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: obvious way. So that's why I don't know whether it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: my mind like playing tricks on me also now that
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I suspect that it's fake. You know what? To be safe,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: change the cup, change it to be safe. I bet
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you your mom's gonna text you saying I'll buy for
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you a new one. No, no, no, she didn't. No,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: she's not gonna offer to buy me that, I think.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And please don't, ah, Mom, don't buy me a new cup.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I've got too many cups at home. 669-011-987 or you
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: can WhatsApp us at 90050987. I'm guessing today's question is,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: have you bought something and only figured it was fake
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: months later? Yeah, do you have any stories about dupe
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: or fake items that you've purchased before? Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: An accident could be a situation where maybe you're in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Thailand or something like, I just buy this shirt Stanley
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Cup in Singapore, can you verify Sonia's Cup? How, how
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: do I I'm. Now I'm like, maybe I should find
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a time to bring it down to the shop. I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: wonder if they have a way to verify. Well, give
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: us a call 669-11987 or drop us a text 90050987
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: on WhatsApp.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: And tell us about your incidents with fake items. Did
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: you accidentally buy something that turned out was fake or
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: maybe you've walked past a market in Thailand and plenty
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: of fake items, just bought something there. I mean, it
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: could happen, it could happen. Let us know. Yeah, in exchange,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: we'd love to give you a $100 dining experience to Broadside. Yes, please,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the pork knuckle, the schnitzel, the Verstappen beer. Hopefully I'm
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: saying that beer. Max got beer brand.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Very stubborn got beer. Vice stubborn. 1000 year old brewery, yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it's definitely not his. Yes. Um, this is a funny
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: situation I found myself in because I am suspecting that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: this Stanley Cup that I bought on an e-commerce platform
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Might be a fake. I'm not saying that it is,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but I might have unknowingly bought a dupe. So, yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: like a Sam Smith song. I know I'm not the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: only one. Why? What kind of messages are we getting?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to username MSK. Hey
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joki. My brother also bought me a Stanley
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Cup for me during my birthday. It was from the same.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Online shopping platform you use. The price wasn't cheap. It
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: was just slightly cheaper than from the official website. All
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the reviews were good. How I suspected was it was
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: leaking whenever the cup tilted. My brother told me it's
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: supposed to leak because of the straw. At first I believed,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: but one day I saw my friend Stanley, same model
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: of the straw. Not only does hers not leak.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Her eyes lasted the whole day, whereas mine melted just
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: merely one hour later. OK, that's a sure thing, sure.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I threw it away and bought another local brand that
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it's way better. I'm not sure if Sonia's one is fake,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: but I think if it doesn't leak and the temperature lasts,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it should be real. Designs can vary, she's guessing. OK, OK, so, um,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: here's the thing.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I don't really drink cold drinks. So I did not
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: put I thought actually, OK, wait, wait, she said something
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: about you turn it upside down, it won't leak, is it?
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: What did she say about that? What do you mean?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Uh, what do you mean by turning it around? It won't. Look,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I'm no Stanley Cup expert, but yeah, uh, just, just,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you just don't, don't. Wait, wait, wait, but I have
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a straw in. Do I take the straw out? Take
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the straw. I take the straw. OK, the straw out. OK, OK.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Seal the seal the thing. How to seal the thing?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: It's already sealed. OK, now this is how it's like. OK,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: turn it 360. Don't spill anything on your side, please.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, OK, it's spilling water.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Wait, are you sure this is the right test? I
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: don't know. That isn't supposed to, I think there are holes.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Obviously it will leak. The, the last resort now is
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: to put ice in your Stanley Cup and see how
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: long it lasts. OK? I can't believe we're doing this
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: live on air. Keep the calls coming in over at 669-11987. Alright, um,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: over my suspicion that the Stanley Cup I bought last
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: year might turn out to be a fake. I'm not sure.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get some verification right now.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Let's hit to our messages first. Joakim. Wanna say hello
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to James on WhatsApp, and this one any football fan
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: can relate. Morning, Sojo. Many years ago I bought a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Liverpool jersey from a sports shop in Thailand. The shop
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: looked to be legit and the jerseys looked authentic. After
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I wore the Liverpool jersey out, my cousin observed that
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the word Carlsberg turned out to be Liverpool in the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: same font.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I thought I got a good deal. So a long
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: time ago, the jersey sponsors for Liverpool were Carlsberg, and
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: it's in the middle of the shirt. So I think
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he bought one that said Liverpool in the same Carlsberg font.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: The cousins like, Hey, what's going on here shirt.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I feel for you, man. Like, I hope you didn't
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: pay an extremely, you know, big amount for that shirt.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: One coming in from Dom. Are you ready? Yeah, Morning.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I use a facial moisturizer from Kiehl's, which is clear
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: colored but slightly cloudy. Some years ago, I found a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: great offer online through a platform, not the official Kiehl's website,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: which was about 40% cheaper, so I bought two.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And I happily started using it. Slowly but surely, the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: happiness turned to worry and suspicion because I realized the
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: labels were stuck on, fake looking, and just a bit off.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: The worry turned to disgust as I struggle every day
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: to slather on this thick, whitish, gooey substance. Couldn't help
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: but wonder if it was the watered down glue or worse.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Lesson learned, don't be stingy, don't buy facial products online.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: OK, unless it's from like official stores like Sephora and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: things like that, you know, that's safe for sure. You
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: know Watsons, yeah, like Watsons, Sephora, like they all have
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: their um verification.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That's pretty scary, man, because you don't know how sensitive
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: your skin is to certain chemicals. Luckily nothing happened to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: his face. Yeah, honestly, facials go down to the store
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and buy it. Yes, yes, just, just do that. I'm
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: worried also. OK. When we come back, got an interesting
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: caller hanging on the line joking that very well could be.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: A Stanley Cup distributor in Singapore. You are kidding. Wow.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I can't believe our luck. Uh, we're gonna get to
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: him in just a bit. Let's go for verification. In
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of conversations right now with many of our listeners,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: just I'm so fascinated that I don't feel so alone
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: on this right now. Talking about sometimes unknowingly buying a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: fake item, especially if you buy it online, because I've
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: had stinking suspicions about my Stanley Cup, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: After, I guess after some uh of the messages here,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: some people are actually saying that this could be just
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: a defective, slightly defective one. That's why you managed to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: get it at a cheaper price, but it may not
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: necessarily be fake. That's also a possibility. Before we get
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to the root of your issue, come, I got one
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: coming in from Jacqueline. OK, sure. Hey Sonia and Joakim,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I have an incident to share. Last year I received
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a pair of Prada sunglasses from a so-called good friend
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: as a birthday gift. I was so surprised.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And genuinely thought they were real. The box case, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: authenticity card all looked very high quality. One day out
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of curiosity, I brought them to the optical shop to
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: check if they were authentic and to find out how
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: much they cost. Guess what? The salesperson told me they
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: were definitely fake because the serial code did not exist.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I was so sad, not because the sunglasses were fake,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: but because when I asked my friend if they were real,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: she told me they were 100% authentic and said they
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: were very expensive.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Oh dear. OK, what if what if he got duped? Yeah,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: because sometimes in order to make it realistic, right, these
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: resellers won't sell it at such a cheap price, you
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? So, so it's more real. One
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: coming in from WL WL says, Hey, Sonia and Jo,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I bought a fake Omega Snoopy watch, retails at 200
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: plus from TikTok at only $150. Interesting thing is no
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: one could really tell the difference when I wore it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I guess you will need someone to really take a
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: close look about who will do that right it down
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: to like a watchmaker or omega, I'm sure they can
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: tell 100% he won't do that.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so earlier on I said somehow we managed to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: chance upon a caller who was trying to call us
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: for quite a few minutes that uh might just be
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the official distributor of Stanley Singapore. We've got Ken on
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the line. Ken, please tell us, um, how can I.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Clarify this,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: OK, yeah, uh, regarding your Stanley Cup, uh, the first
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: thing whether you bought last year, is it from the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: official store?
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: It's from an e-commerce store. Yeah,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: OK, because I used to, uh, last year I'm still
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the distributor, the company I'm working with, I'm still a
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: distributor for Stanley do it in the L and S platform.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Right, and then we will, it will be quite safe
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: because we only sell it in, uh, the official store
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: by the name Standy official store in the LMS mall. So, uh,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I mean last year, this year we, I, I stopped
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: the distribution already. OK. Then the, the other thing is, uh,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: the water, what model do you actually buy the normal
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: quencher with the straw.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yes,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: OK, that one will confirm will leak because you cannot.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: You give it up, it will not be caught off
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: the straw.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: OK, yeah, roof.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Another brand, brand, another model that we have previously is, is,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it will so-called 100% leak proof. So the next thing
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: actually is that you look at your, uh, so-called the bottle,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: check, check, checking.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Look at what, look at what you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: open up your, your cover and look inside.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a logo? Is there a stamp logo?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: It's like a stamp that looks like an outline of
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: a bottle with two arrows. Something like that, like, OK, so,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: so verify it's like you're buying a cup. OK, interesting
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: because I just went to my history, my buying history
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: on this e-commerce platform, OK. So I went to the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: shop that I bought it from because it has your receipts, right?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I went to click on it and it says this
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: shop has been frozen. OK, you know what, Sonia, just
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: buy a new cup. Talking about, um, accidentally buying fake items,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and this is all inspired by my Stanley Cup. We're
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: still verifying whether it's real or not because a distributor
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: for Stanley Cup actually called us just now.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And gave us some pointers and told me to do
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: some checks and stuff and somehow it checks out. So
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to suspect that what one of our listeners
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: said about it being potentially one of the defective ones,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: that's why it was on such a big sale, um,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: that could be the case. So, I know it's only July,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: but do you need a very advanced birthday present? OK,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I don't need another cup. You don't need another cup. OK,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: what are some of our listeners saying? I want to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: say good morning to Belinda. Belinda says morning guys.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Story time. Many years ago when trading on Carousel was
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: a big thing, I agreed to trade my branded bag
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: for another one. We arranged for Grab to exchange the bags,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: but the moment hers arrived, my heart sank. One look
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: and I knew it was fake. I immediately messaged her
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and demanded my bag back, but she went silent for
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: a few hours. It was one of the most stressful
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: waits ever. Thankfully, she eventually replied, saying she didn't know
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it was fake because it had been a gift from
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: her partner. Luckily, she returned my bag.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Oh no, painful. That is, that's scary. This is why, right,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you should always do it in person. Check first before
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you exchange, especially carousel. One more coming in from Pam.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Hey Sonia and Joakim, once I bought what was labeled
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: as an authentic power supply for my laptop on one
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of the L or S platforms.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: If you know, you know, but it turned out to
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: be fake with atrocious spelling, etc. I returned it and
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I thought it was the end of the story. Subsequently,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I was low-key stalked by the seller accusing me of
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: reporting them for selling fake goods. It wasn't me who reported,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I denied, but it was back and forth until I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: threatened to really report them to the platform and police.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: The worst was that they may have used a translation
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and referred to me as dear throughout the exchanges.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: It felt like I was arguing with an ex. Oh no, dude,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: this is, this is a tough one, man. Like, OK,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: do we have time to share my one more story
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of mine? OK, regarding a fake item? OK. Do we
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: have any more listeners you want to. You can tell
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: your story. So, sorry, by the way, if we didn't
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: manage to read out your messages. There were too many
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: this morning. Um, ages ago when I was a student came.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I did not know better when it came to like
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: brands or branded items. I didn't know anything, right? So
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: my friend and I, um, part of our tradition is
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: to walk around Bugis Street that time, OK? We just
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: shop around there, just buy some random stuff. So here's
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: the thing. So I went to this store and it's,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: it's like a cute shop, you know, they had a
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: wide variety of stuff, bags, um, shoes, whatever, right?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: So I was like, hey, I really like this design.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So I decided to buy this particular bag. OK. No, no, no,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: it was very, it was quite cheap. I mean, obviously
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it wasn't, you know, very expensive. So I carried it
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: around like, wow, like damn happy, you know, like it's
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: so cute, the design, everything. I went into poly. I
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: still had that bag, so I carried that bag to Poly. OK.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he got called out. One of, no, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: didn't get called out. One of my, one of my
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: classmates actually said, Wow, I love your bag. How did
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you manage to get it?
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Then I said, oh, what do you mean? Then, then
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: this girl said, this is the Balenciaga something something, don't
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: know what, right? I can't remember what she said at
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: that time, OK. Then she's like, wow, this must have
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: been at least 3.5k. Then I was like, oh, snap.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: It was in that moment I realized I had unknowingly
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: bought a Balenciaga dupe because I did not know better
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: as a teenager. Can you imagine your other classmates, this
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: rich kid I bought it for like $38.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you can say that, but did you tell her? No,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: of course not. I just pretended like I didn't know anything. Yes, yes, yes,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: indeed I have great taste. By the way, Sonia, I
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: want to say good morning to Charlotte. Hey Sonia, you
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: know Stanley are having a pop-up store in Jewel very soon. OK,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: time to get a real one. Yes, go and ask
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: them what's going on.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: OK, when we come back, one person is walking away
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: with this prize. Our friend Belinda, who texted us earlier. Belinda, congratulations,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: sharing about how the bad situation, the exchange did not
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: quite go the way she thought because she received the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: fake one. Thankfully, she got her real bag bag. I
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: really felt relieved for her, man. Yeah. Congrats, you're enjoying
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a $100 treat to Broadside. Tell us how it goes,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and we hope you enjoy it. See, it's stories like.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: These that happen here in Singapore, right? It is why
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I think in parliament, aside from discussing usual happenings here
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: in Singapore, you've got to find ways to improve neighborly disputes, lah.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: So this is where the fight fire with fire statement
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: comes in, is it? Yeah, so I want to take
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you to Boon Lay right now, OK, alright, where a
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: 62 year old woman cannot tahan anymore, the neighbors upstairs noisy,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: making noise in the middle.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Middle of the night, what kind, what kind of noise
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: are we talking like singing karake, dragging furniture, luggage being
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: dragged around, furniture being dragged around as well. Is there
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: a plot twist here like there's no neighbor upstairs? No, no. So,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: so the lady in question has gone to the press saying, yeah,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I think these tenants moved in 2 years ago. They've
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: been making noise late at night. So when the papers
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: went to other neighbors.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: And asked, Oh, do you hear noise as well? The
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: other neighbors said, no. No. But, but for example, if
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you are not living directly below the people making noise,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you might not get the noise. You might not get
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the surround sound. So the lady was fed up, tried
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to do the HDB mediation, but the people of say
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: don't want. Oh, you mean you can say you don't want.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I think you can reject the request. Really? Yeah. So
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: that was the point. You have to at least.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Entertain them. So I think it's up to the lady
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: to take it to the next step for the Court
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: of Arbitration or whatsoever. No, not police. This is a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: civil matter apparently. So if you call the police, the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: police can go to the neighbor's door saying, sorry, we
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: received noise complaints. Please turn it down. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. OK.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: So what this lady did was she bought the screaming
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: rubber chicken which we have in our studio.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: That somehow we have in the studio. Why do we
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: still have it? So this is where she fought fire
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: with fire. When she hears noise upstairs, she will do this.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Oh no, are you serious? But in that sense, isn't
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: she disturbing the other neighbors around her in, in retaliation.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: But this one, the next door neighbor confirmed.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and she will sometimes bang metal pots and pans
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: as well just to retaliate against the neighbors upstairs. Oh no,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: did it work? Uh, not exactly because it's now made
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: the news. Oh no. So again, how can we settle
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: neighborly disputes here in Singapore?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: And oh sorry, the chicken is still making noise and,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: and somehow I feel that I love our friends in
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: the SPF, the police force, but maybe it's time to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: put out an infographic on when to call the police
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and when the police can be useful, especially for neighborly disputes. Yeah,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: this is a, this is a tough one because if
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you go check in on the person, it's not guaranteed
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna catch them in the act of making
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: noise at that time, you know, so it's always like that.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's a, it's a difficult one, and I think
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: in a country where most of us stay in apartment blocks,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: this noise pollution thing is a big problem. Yes, it is.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yes it is. So there you go. This is happening
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: over at Boon Lay, but I'm sure there are plenty
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: of noise complaints that go unreported in the news here
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: in Singapore. I, I feel bad for her, to be honest.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know exactly how that feels when you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: don't get a good night's rest and it's going on
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: for so long. So, hopefully.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Some resolution for this poor lady that doesn't include that
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: screaming chicken. I'm gonna confiscate that after this very irritating. 987,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station. Sonia and Joakim here
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: with you.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Want to dive straight into food news because it's a
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: very special day. OK. Here we go. Do I sing
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: it happily? Yes. 123, food news, Food news. Sonia with
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: the good food news. Give it to us, Miss Chuw. OK,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: so you know that every time, um, National Day rolls closer,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: comes closer, right, you will see some of your favorite
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: food outlets.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Or even fast food joints release their version of what
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: they say is going to be like the next national
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: burger or the next like national dish, yeah. Um, but
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: today is a special day because 8th of July is
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the launch of the curry and sambal crispy prata burger
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: thanks to KFC, and I have to say not because
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I worked with them recently.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: But I heard rave reviews about it, like from people
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: who tried it already. They said this one is legit. Wait, wait, wait, wait,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: hang on. Curry and sambal, curry sambal, crispy prata burger.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Can the name be shorter, is it? But I think
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: it's exactly what they describe it as.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: It's, it literally looks like curry and sambal dressing sauce
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: with the crispy pratter wedging the chicken in between. So
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: I go to the counter, Auntie, can I have the
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: curry chicken sambal crispy pratter curry sambal no curry chicken.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Where's the curry chicken?
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: It's just called the, the curry and sambal burger, yeah, yeah, but,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: but if you want to be specific about it, it's
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: crispy butter burger, yeah, yeah, curry and sambal that's the,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they said. That's what they said.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: But yes, um, if you want to just go up
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: there and say like, can I have the curry sambal zinger,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I guess that's the easier way to put it. Thank you.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: So apparently it, it slaps like the sambal is spicy,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the curry is.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: It's the kind that you just want to drink up,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you know, so I'm, I'm curious. Today is the launch day. Um,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: give it a try if you have the time and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: if you have the appetite. It's interesting you brought up
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: KFC because ultimate rivals McDonald's. Yes, somehow their marketing ad, right,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: involves someone putting a curry puff in a burger. So
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: that's when we're like, oh, so it's curry related too. Interesting.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Could this be an old Chuy.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: McDonald's collab, the curry puff. I think they, they released
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: some information about that already. If I'm not wrong. I'm
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: not sure if Old Chunky. I wonder what the name
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: of the curry puff burger will be as compared to
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: the curry sambal crispy prata zinger burger. No, no, just
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: say curry sambal zinger. That's how you order it. Thank you.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just giving you the proper breakdown. Alright, alright, alright.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So any updates? Let me check real quick. I saw it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I swear I saw it, OK.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Uh, oh, you're right. They actually do have a collab
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: with Old Chunky. Nice. I mean, I guess that was
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: very obvious with the guy putting the curry puff in between, right?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: It does look like curry curry puff. Oh, hey, look,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, whatever kind of curry you prefer, you got options.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: You have options. Let's go. And I think the one
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: thing is that's interesting.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: Is that when you take a look at the flavors
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: that um people tend to adopt in in these collaborations, right,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: there are only that many flavors that you can sort
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: of do in a local context. I mean, you've got rendang,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: you've got curry.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: What else? Laksa, mee siam flavored things. Let's not forget
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: what else? Chili crab chili crab, yes, salted egg was
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: a thing once upon a time. Enough salted egg can stop. OK,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: so for the very first time in history, Sonia, for
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the FIFA World Cup finals, yeah.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: There'll be a halftime show. So because it's staged in
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the US, maybe they were trying to make it like
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl halftime show. I don't know whether it
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: be well received because knowing football fans, we, we, we
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: don't need all these nonsense. We want to see the
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: pundits break down the game. We want to hear what
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they have to say about it as compared to watching
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: people like Shakira going on stage saying.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: It's so bad, but she, I mean, look, like it
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: is iconic to have, um, a World Cup song, right?
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: So Shakira, BTS, Madonna, confirmed to be on that stage.
