• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Now, uh, I'm not sure what matches were on last night,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: but Joakim swears he's on his way right now. I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: was just waiting to see if we could still go
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: on together and say hi to you this Monday morning,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but it's OK. I'll kick things off first. Um, last,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I believe this is the final week of June holidays
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: for you, right? Not, not to be a Debbie Downer
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: or anything, but
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, I think this could be the final week
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of June holidays. I still believe that we are going
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to kick off our school visits very soon, but during
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: this time of June holidays, different schools have been visiting us,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: which has been really cute because it's like their, their
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: site quest or maybe their CCA or something like that,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: or maybe it was just arranged by a parent or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: student leader or teacher, right?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So, the holiday season is a time where the students
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: can come in in the morning. If not, it'll be,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it'll be a little bit difficult, right, to get them
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in on a, on a weekday. So, please get your teachers,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: get your, I mean, if you're awake right now, get
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: your teachers, get your parents to write in, let us know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and Joakim and I would love, love, love, love, love
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to be at your school.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend though, I did bump into some of you,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: even though we haven't been able to speak to many
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of you during the June holidays because, yeah, who's who's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: awake this early during the holidays, right? Just giving a
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: big shout out to them. Apparently, they've been active since
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: 2020 and they're from South Korea.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: So they're a band. They're band. Yeah. I know it
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sounds like um an individual artist, someone called Stacy with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a very interesting way of stylizing his or her name.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's a girl group. Yeah, it's a girl group. Anyway,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: good morning. Welcome to the show. How was your weekend, Joe,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and um
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Were there any matches last night you want to tell
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: us about or I was just laughing about it with
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: our listeners who were awake at that time. No, no, no,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we had some mouthwatering clashes. I think Netherlands against Sweden,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Netherlands beating them 5-1, and yesterday I was at City
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Hall area in the afternoon. It was Tunisia against Japan.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Loads of Japanese people were over, I'm sure.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: They were over at Capitol wearing their Japanese jerseys and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: they were so happy and well done Japan. Nobody can
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: call them surprise packages anymore. They played so well and,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm assuming they won by quite a high margin, right?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: They beat Tunisia 4-0. Ouch. Yes, I, I actually thought
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you said, I mean, not that I know anything about football,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but I thought you said Sweden might beat.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Um, Netherlands Netherlands or something like that. Like you said
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: something like they're doing really well this season. I don't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to them on Saturday, but all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I know is the game against Japan and Sweden, it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be mouthwatering. That's happening very soon. Is there another
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: way to describe a football match other than mouthwatering, or
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: why do they always say that? Tantalizing dramatic. I just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: always wonder why you, or maybe it's just you, do
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you always say mouthwatering? It's a mouthwatering clash. Yes, I mean,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: what other ways to describe.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It's a clash you cannot miss. OK, it's a clash
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that's mouthwatering the other way around.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I just get the updates from Joe and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes I look up at the screen here in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: studio and it's there. By the way, it's Cape Verde
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one Uruguay nailed currently. Uruguay is supposed to be good. Yes. Oh, OK,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: thank you for filling me in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend, I will say it was rather interesting
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: for me. Did you do anything with your dad for
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Father's Day? No, no, he was celebrating with his family. OK,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: so you'll meet him soon, I'm assuming I'll take him
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: out for a meal soon enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just wanted to say, um, bumped into tons of people
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: celebrating Father's Day over the weekend. I was at Gardens
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: by the Bay on, uh, on Saturday, and then I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was in town on Sunday and bumped into a few,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing our listeners who.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, happy Father's Day, and they were also having
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: their own celebrations, which is really, really sweet to see.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And you know, to all dads, hope you had a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. Can I ask how's my favorite OG Hong
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Kong gangster, he's good. He wore a colorful shirt yesterday,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: which is very, which is very rare. Yeah, so it's,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so I was like, hey, nice shirt. You haven't worn
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: this in a long time. And he was like, yes,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: special occasion, Father's Day.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You know, usually he's in black lah. So, so he
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: wore a pop of color which was very, very different
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: from his usual clothes. It was like coral. Coral is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: like pink and orange combined together. OK, thank you for
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the description. I see Joakim's face. I already know he
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: has no idea what coral is for a while, like
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: coral pink, you know, orangey pink. Yeah, OK, peach, some
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: may say it's peach colored. Yeah. Thank you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'll just call it orange. I knew, I knew you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: were gonna say that. But yeah, he had a great time. Uh, we, we,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: we had a simple lunch together. Um, I got him a,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a joke gift, like a gag gift. It was, uh,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: socks in the shape of hot dogs, so it looks.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It looks like I bought him like a takeaway hot dog.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Why are you torturing the poor man? Funny, funny when,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: when I walked into the car, uh, I hitched a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: ride from there and got into the car. I gave
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: it to him. I said, Hey, Dad, I got you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: your Father's Day present. He wear hot dog. Then he
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: looked closely. Oh, its socks. Yes, not sure if he'll
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ever wear it, but since he's in his colorful era,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: maybe he might. So when we see the.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Do socks in a dump soon. Maybe, maybe you never know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Let's see if he really wears it. He will. He's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: your dad. He's supportive. He'll wear it. Or rather, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: has no choice. It is true. I would not be
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: surprised that people here in Singapore, they would start wearing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: analog watches a little bit more or if your Apple
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Watch or Samsung watch is able to have like an
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: analog face.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: They might set it to that. Inspired by our MRT trains,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: inspired by our MRT. OK, but FYI, um, the, the,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the funny thing is Joakim and I are very different
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in many ways. But, um, when it comes to watches,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I realized that we're also very different. Like I will
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: always go with the traditional watch and Joakim always has
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like a.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Smartwatch. Yes, yes, but I've always just, I don't know why, like,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I owned a couple of Apple Watches before,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but I always kind of gravitate towards like a regular watch.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just love how it looks like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, for me, if it's a formal
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: night or a date night, I'll switch to my other watch.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: This is the track my steps, check my circles, check
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the calories that I burn every day. It just doesn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: fit my look, you know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's just aesthetically, not me. We get it. Sports are
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: not your aesthetic. We get it, get it. I used
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to customize my, um, my Apple Watch back then, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't the Ultra because Ultra is too big. It's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: way too big. It looks like I'm wearing a clock
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on my wrist, to be honest, iPad, an iPad on my,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: on my wrist, right? And I used to get, you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you can replace the straps and stuff, so they've got
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: other designs for the straps, but somehow it just still
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: looks massive on my wrist.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So maybe because of MRT trains, analog watches could be
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the hit thing again. Oh, interesting. OK, let me know.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If you just joined us earlier, I said analog watches
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: could be a hit here in Singapore again, or if
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you're using the Apple Watch or Samsung watch or what,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: if you have those analog watch faces, you might set
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it to that. OK. Reason being MRT trains. What's what's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it related to?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Is it related to MRT trains? OK, so very soon,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Prince Edward Road, Keppel, and Kenterman, the stations will be open, OK,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: thus completing the circle of the circle line. So it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: will be called the clockwise loop and the anti-clockwise loop. OK.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I was at Promenade MRT yesterday. Now that station is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a bit confusing because if you're going to Dhoby Ghaut,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you must change trains. Oh, there's a lot of.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: permutations. Yeah, OK, so you got to look at the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: signboard very closely. So some of it will say clockwise
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or anti-clockwise. Oh, it actually says that. Oh, so I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: noticed a couple of people looking at their watches and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like using their fingers. This is clockwise, anti-clockwise. Ah, OK,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: then they'll go to the correct train. It's funny that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you mentioned this. I, I know two people who don't
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: know how to read a watch or a clock, you know.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I actually know two people who don't, and you also
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: know them. I'll tell you who they are after I
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: turn my mic off. I don't, did you find out
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the reason why they can't? Yeah, they just apparently just
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: never learned it. I don't know. I thought in school
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they were like sort of teach you, right?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny, so funny. That's what that's one of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the first things you learn to know exactly. So let's, I, OK,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: if you're tuned in right now and you're familiar with
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: what's going on in school in P1 now, let us know.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Do they still teach you how to read a watch
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: or clock I'm sure the syllabus have changed, but some
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: things are still the same. I think that's like basic knowledge, right?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You got to know how to read a watch or clock,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: how to be a spy like that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, when they say things like watch your
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: 6 or like your 2 o'clock, like how do you know?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Even me, I take some time to like, you know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm a terrible spy, to be fair, spies of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the of this day and age, I'm pretty sure they
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: use digital because it's quite accurate down to the second. No,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but you still say you're 2 o'clock.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Or like what's your 3 or your 6, you know
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Then how, then how you know? Like
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh wait, let me, let me look at
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: my watch first. I can imagine telling Sonia 11, she
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: use her hands to point. No, no, I'll be like,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'll be like 1234. No, I'm kidding. I know how
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to read a clock. You sure? Shut up. I know
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: 3 o'clock. I know down here.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So apparently this movie still in the news here in Singapore.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Dear you, I mean, last week we were sharing about
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: how people are saying, hey, how come only so limited
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: screenings of the Teochew version? I'd rather go to Malaysia
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and watch it in full Teochew. But of course, to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: be fair to Singapore and the people that make the rules,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it's in line to the government regulations when it comes
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to dialects.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And all that being screened. But good news is, hey,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: 8 additional screenings of the Teochew version will be made
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: available June 25th, 29th, and tickets go on sale today
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at 3 p.m. I think that was the only way
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to go for them, to be honest, like, and this
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: is a good problem if you look at it that way, right?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Like there's so much interest in a film like.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I, I feel like the film industry and the whole
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: concept of even going down to a cinema to watch
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a film is, it scares me that one day that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: may not even be a thing anymore, you know, with
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: streaming platforms and all that, and we've already seen a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: lot of cinemas suffer. But this particular situation has gotten
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: so much attention that I'm not too sure when is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the next parliamentary sitting, but, uh, I want to give
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a shout out to my MP Bishan Toa Payoh.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Member of parliament, Mr. Chai Yun Chou, he's gonna file
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a question about this whole dialects and cultural thing. The
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: full question is available on his Instagram account. You can
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: go have a read and hopefully Mr. Speaker picks him
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to voice his opinions and questions. I mean, if anything,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: now more than ever, we need to retain our culture,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: The the beauty about Singapore is that we have all
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: these dialects and languages. In fact, when tourists come here,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they visit, you know, and I meet some new people
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and that, sometimes they're still quite surprised that we know
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: how to speak so many different things. So the running
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: joke for Sonia and I is it could be in Teochew, Kento, Hokkien,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: or Mandarin, right? Both of us will still read the subtitles. Yeah, exactly.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I may only understand a select
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: few words. You know what kind of words they are.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: We can't say on radio, by the way.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: As it stands, Uruguay 2, Cape Verde 2. I want
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to report to our boss. There's a lot of screaming
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: going on in the studio. Hey, look, we love an
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: underdog story, OK? Cape Verde, well done. We do, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you gave me the backstory, and you know, yeah, I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: understand now. About 27 more minutes of play. But anyway,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: let's go to our very first controversial topic for Monday, Sonia. OK,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: give it to us. This one proudly brought to us
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: by whatever happened over the weekend. What juju is it?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Please help me out. OK, I was there. I was there. OK.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Just to be, just to be clear, it's an art installation.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: It's an art installation. And there's also this very cute
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: little plush called Juju and it comes in various different colors,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: special for Singapore and the rarest one being yellow, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it's served in blind boxes. OK, OK. Can I set
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: the premise here? Yes, go ahead. So we are in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: an age where
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Students, graduates, designers, animators, they are all booing AI. Like
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: we have the CEO of Google giving a speech at
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the university and they all walked out. Some others are
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: saying about AI. Immediately the students all boo. So they,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: they really am not they're they're not really embracing this
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: whole AI generation yet.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So the founder of this Juju doll that you have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on your back looks very cute lah. OK. It's cute.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: It's cute. Uh, the, I'm gonna be very objective here, OK? The, the,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the founder of it, CJ Henry, has said that she
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: has used AI, she's openly said it to design the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Juju doll, and she also intended for it to be
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a bit of a commentary on the whole craze, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: So apparent and and of course people aren't happy. Loads
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of videos are being made on Instagram and TikTok giving
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: their own takes and social commentary on it. Just wanna
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: say for a video done by user named Zelle on Instagram,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it actually attracted CJ Henry's comments, and I'm just paraphrasing here,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a bit snarky lah, the comment. Something about you better
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: be well wrapped before you fire on your high horse.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Hi, but if someone came at you for your craft,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you be defensive also? Defensive, but maybe I would
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: have used better word choice of words and not the words, right, right.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, OK, um, objectively speaking, once again, as I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: paid for my ticket to go, you know, so I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: just went there to experience it. Um, and by the way,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: she's the same, the same creator of flower Market as
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: well from the previous weekend where people were like going
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: crazy trying to snatch up flowers and all that, right? OK.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Um, when I went there, I think the main point
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was that it's called Juju World, right, which is an
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: immersive art installation. So you actually go there, there's like,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it's like a massive slide, it's like a bouncy castle situation.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It's just supposed to bring out, you know, that, that
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: inner child from you, and it's almost like a therapy
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: session in a way. It was super fun, like, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like if we went there,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Just to do something that brings you joy. And a
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: lot of kids were there too, a lot of families,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and it gave them many things to do over the weekends. Um,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see it from that standpoint instead.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Not that I'm defending her at all, but I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, she wasn't hiding the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: fact that she did use AI in this process, you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and she is an immersive artist. It's different, right? I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: think it's still up for debate. It's definitely up for debate.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: But isn't it worse if you use AI and you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: don't tell people? Fair enough. You secretly use it, it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it becomes a hit and a success, and you don't.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: You just hide it from the world. But if there's anything, right,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I do find myself agreeing with CJ Henry on this whole,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: it being a commentary on the labubu face, yeah, yeah, yeah, because, uh,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: she's still making bank. She is, and you know what,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: she's not making money from the scalpers, like the scalpers
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: who are, or the resellers who are buying it and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: hoping to get a rare one and then selling it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: for like I don't know how many hundreds of thousands
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of dollars.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that money doesn't go to the artist. And videos
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: are showing Singaporeans and people from overseas alike rushing for
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the flowers and rushing for the juju dolls. Uh, OK,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'd like to correct you on that. So there was
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: no rushing for the for Juju world because the way
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: that they did it, maybe due to the, the installation,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it is a bit different. Like they have to limit
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the amount of people that are in there at once.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you're going to get like hundreds of people jumping around.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's a safety issue as well. But people
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: still bought it. They still bought it, but there was no, um,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: because I was there for the flower market one too.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And yes, that one was a lot more crowded because
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I think despite being told that no walk-ins are accepted,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: people still waited to see if they could get a walk-in,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? But for this one, it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: strictly no, you have to pay for entry as well.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So I think that.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Definitely got people just booking online and then showing up
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to your exact slot. So I guess maybe if you're
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: CJ Henry, you might be thinking, OK, if you don't
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: like my AI designs, don't buy lah. If you like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: them then.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But other artists, of course, are saying, hey, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I painstakingly designed it by hand and all that. You
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: use AI and you got successful.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: This is a very big conversation that we cannot even
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: begin to unpack. And, and just to clarify, we completely
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: understand the feelings towards AI because as artists ourselves, not
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in that way, but artists in our own craft, you know, hosting,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: creating videos, creating content and all that, even with our voices,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: there are people out there who can recreate your voice
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: with AI. I mean, it is scary to us too.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You should read some of my work emails about AI.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's a conversation for another day, man. Coming up
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: in just a little while, um, have you ever ordered something,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: let's say in a restaurant or maybe even your, your
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: food delivery service came, you ordered something and when it arrived,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you were very disappointed with the portion size. Has this,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: has this happened to you? Portion size, yes. Yeah, like, huh,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: why so small? Why so little? OK, to be honest
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: with you, whenever I go to festivals and I order food, yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: but you can't.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect much la. I mean, I just have
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: zero expectations sometimes. I mean, if you're paying $17 for food,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it better be a good portion, man. Uh, I, yeah, it's,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it's arguable. You never know what you're gonna get sometimes.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe overseas festivals, their portions are bigger. I don't know. Yeah, yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Everything now is a blind box. Coming up in just
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a bit, this is related to ice cream, and I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: can completely understand the frustration here.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And it happened here in Singapore, by the way. The
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: question posed to Joakim earlier was, have you ever ordered something,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: be it in person or online, or maybe like a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: food delivery service order? When they arrived, you were not
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: so happy with the portion size. Oh, for sure. Well,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: give me an example. OK, for example, you are at
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: a festival and you order a geon. The rice to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: meat portion is 3 to 13 rice, 1 meat meat.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I mean clearing or for your rice. I actually don't
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: mind because I'm a carbie barbie, you know, as my
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: friends call me. Yeah, I mean, I, I love it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and I guess during the festival you need the energy, right?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: But I get why you will feel like a bit cheated. Yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and for example, if you're going to a high-end restaurant
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and you're paying so much to try their food and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: they come in like those.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Very packaging small portions. OK, OK, those like gourmet style meals. Yeah, actually, this,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this just happened to us. Um, I was catching up
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: with some friends over the weekend and we went to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: this place for brunch, really nice place, but I think
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the portion.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: The size was way too small for what they were
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: charging for, you know, brunch prices. Delicious, but portion could
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be a bit bigger. Um, similar thing happened to this
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: guy who tried to get some ice cream over at
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the fancy looking Fair price at Clark Quay, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: have you been there? It's the one opposite.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Capital, right? What used to be Capitol. Yes, Fairprice Finest. Yeah.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So if I'm not wrong, it's right opposite this K-star karaoke. Yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: if you're talking about the direction opposite. Yeah, I just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: went there recently, quite fun. So
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So, Fair Price Clark Quay, don't get me wrong, I
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: love it, you know, it's, it's actually such a great
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: experience and they have this whole like market hall vibe
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: as well where you can buy food and sit in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the middle. So you can buy stuff from like anywhere
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and all the like food stations and then just eat
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in the middle and open a bottle of wine and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: stuff as well. It's pretty cool.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Um, but for this particular ice cream stand in Fair
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Price Clark Quay, it's a pop-up, OK? So I don't
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: think this has the responsibility is not on Fair Price
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Clark Key, so don't get me wrong on that. We
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: still love them. Unfortunately for this particular pop-up, um, they
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: were doing premium coconut ice cream, and a single scoop
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: is going for 290. They're saying that there's a discount
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: from 390, so we're doing, doing a discount, and the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: other dessert bowls or other dishes, they've got other discounts
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: as well. So it sounds good, right? Sounds really good.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this man who purchased a single scoop of the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: premium coconut ice cream was very taken aback at the portion.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And when I show you the picture, I think you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: will gasp as well. Can you lean over and take
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a look right now? OK, this is what, this is
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: what he got.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: That's what, that's what he got, OK, to which he said,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I think he was quite shocked, right? I mean, yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: we get that it's a promotional price, but does that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mean there's a discount on the portion also, or what? Like, hey,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I would rage, you know, shrinkflation or something. I mean,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the cup was barely half full, and of course he
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: was frustrated, took a photo, and I think rightfully so.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: This is not, not cool, not cool, you know, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: for someone who has worked in a frozen yogurt shop before.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: OK, I'm going to give you a bit of. I'm not,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I may not be, I may, I should not be
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: saying this, but since, since the company closed down a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: long time ago, I'll just say it. Um, I used
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to pride myself in the way that I serve the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: frozen yogurt, OK. Um, you know, usually when you, when
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: you
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: squeeze out the yogurt, right? Sometimes when you order it,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: do you realize that there's a hole in the middle,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like when you, when you eat your ice cream or
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: your frozen yogurt, that soft serve style, it's not like filled.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes it's hollow in the middle. So I used
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to like do this technique where I fill up the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: entire thing in the middle. So it's like it's very
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: full and you get your money's worth. Actually, I got
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: scolded by the boss once. Why you give so much
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: frozen yogurt?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I said because it looks better firstly and then they
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: get more yogurt. He's like, that's not the point.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And if you see a cute guy, you give more, right?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I like, yeah, no need to say I give. You're that. Yes,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I give extra fruits. Then the guy said, I like
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: your style. I was like, thank you. I like your face.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm not sure if I said that it was
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in my mind. By the way, if you want good
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: ice cream around the Clark Quay, walk on down to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Southridge Road, Dopa. Oh, nice, nice. OK, so on Saturday,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I was really, really quite disappointed.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Um, you know, I, I'm not by any means, I'm
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: not a pedal fanatic. I'm really not, OK, but I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: do like it as a form of cardio and I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: actually got two of my friends, one of my very
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: close friends and her husband to come give it a try.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Now her husband is quite, um, athletic, like he likes
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: picking up any sort of sports.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure you teach him one time, he'll get
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: it already, you know, but for her, she's a bit
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: more like me lah, like no hand-eye coordination, ball sense,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: you know, that kind of stuff. I got to really get, get,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: have a few lessons or something. Is this legit or
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you're bunching up with you? No, uh, no, it's legit. Yeah,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it's legit. She, she admitted it herself.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: So, they said, OK, we would love to play with
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you and Germs, like, let's arrange a date, right? And
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: also backstory, he just moved, relocated to Singapore for her
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: quite recently. So I think it's cool to have, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a bit more like friends and support system to, to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: welcome him. Exactly. So we decided, OK, we booked um
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning, we're going to go play paddle together. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: there's some, there are some courts that are indoor and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: some that are outdoor.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: We booked an outdoor court, OK, because we really like
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: this particular place. And also due to the fact that
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: indoor courts are actually quite hard to book, especially at
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the last minute. We did not realize that the weather
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: forecast was going to be so bad over the past
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: few weeks because we arranged this quite far in advance,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: didn't realize it was going to be raining. I think
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: last week it was what, raining all the time in
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the afternoon, right? So we're thinking, oh yeah, morning should
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: be OK. Morning should be OK, right? Lo and behold,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: when we woke up on Saturday morning.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It was still sunny, but in an hour, it shifted.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Like suddenly the skies were gray, looked angry, and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Um, because the court that we booked is in town
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: as well, so we could roughly estimate, you know, like the,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the weather lah, and, uh, the person in charge actually
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: texted us saying like, hey guys, you know, in light
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: of inclement weather, would you like to cancel? If you
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: do let us know before your game starts, we will
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: not charge you for the court. OK, we'll refund you
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and then you can just come back another time. Yeah,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: that's nice of them to offer. So we, I was
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: like on the fence. I was like, ah, do you
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: think it will clear up? It looks like a passing cloud,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: looks like a passing cloud.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: But Germs was like, you know what, I'm gonna call it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Let's just cancel. And true enough, it started pouring. It
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: was dumping, like, really dumping down cats and dogs and
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: uh canceled it. But guess what, man?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: In half an hour's time, it stopped.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: And it stopped just at the time that we're supposed
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: to start the game. So then we were just super sien, right?
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I texted my friends. I said, How are you all
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: still want to meet now? They said, Yeah, let's meet for,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: let's just meet for coffee or brunch or something. So
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: we met and it was just bright sunny day for
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the rest of Saturday.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: And we're just looking at the sky like why lah? Why?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Why you ruined our plans. Every single runner and running
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: group can relate to your pain. OK, yeah, this has
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: happened to you many times. So many times. I'm like, OK,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: let's go for a run. Rains, and I'm like, OK lah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'll just take a rest day. 15 minutes later it
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: will clear up, but you already took off all your
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: gear and your your shoes.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: So there are days where I'll painfully put it back
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: on and go and run, but be extra careful because
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: the ground will be very slippery, especially if you're running
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: at the Marina Bay area, the Jubilee Bridge. Oh, because
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of the, the floor, the tiles, it's very slippery, be
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: extra careful. Yeah, so I mean the upside is that,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we assessed it and they said, OK, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Because the rain was so heavy, right? Um, you know,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: that the way that the paddle courts or even tennis
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: courts are like, you can't just like take a mop
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: and soak up the water. You can't, like you, you
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: actually need to let it dry up for a bit
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and it could be dangerous for you also, like if
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: you're playing on a very wet court and your ball
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: is not really going to bounce that well on a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: wet court a paddle court, right, is it a hard court?
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: There's sand. Yeah, there's, it's like sand mixed with, I
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: don't know what what you would call that, but it
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: looks like a normal court, but there's some sand packed
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: into it. I don't really know whether it's the same,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: exactly the same as a tennis court. I'm not sure. Um,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: but yeah, uh, so we wanted to open up phone lines, 669-11987.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Has it ever rained on your parade before? Like anything,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: could be a birthday party, your, your wedding, your, I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: don't know, bachelorette, you know, maybe even just as simple
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: as your intention to go for a run or play
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: a game. It's interesting you brought up birthdays and waiting
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: on your parade. I want to throw you back to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: National Day Parade 2024. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: was thundering. It was scary. Me, you, city, and.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We were like, what's gonna happen? And then as the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: show went on, the rain stopped. But we did continue
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: hosting in the rain for quite some time, drizzle. Yes, yes.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: But then it was quite crazy because it's all throughout
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: all the rehearsals, it never rained like that. Then on
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the actual day, it's OK. It's always like this. We
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: still sang Fried Rice Paradise. We still went ahead. By
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: then it was, it wasn't raining anymore. Yeah. But anyway,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: opening up phone lines right now.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: 669-11987 or drop us a message 90050987. Has it ever
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: rained on an occasion of yours before? Could be a birthday,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: it could be a party, whatever. It could be as
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: simple as a jog or a run or a game
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that you wanted to go for. If we do like
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: your answer, what we have for you is a pair
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: of passes to the Glow Festival weekend. It's worth $199.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I really pray that one no rain.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK, over at Palawan Green, we're gonna
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: catch people like Jason Derulo and Alessia Cara who will
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: be in town. Alessia Cara doesn't work that way. OK,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: never mind. She'll come up with her own jingle next time,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: but plenty more to look forward to, of course, with
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Glow Festival weekend passes. This is worth almost $200. Give
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: us a call right now. 669-11987. Has the weather ever
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: ruined your plans?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: just like mine on Saturday. How funny it is that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: we're talking about whether it's ever rained on your parade before.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: It could be anything. It could be a birthday. It
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: could be a surprise anniversary dinner that was outdoors, a wedding,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: or in my case, a paddle game. I was really
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: looking forward to because I wanted to introduce my friends
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to it. The tragedy. Yeah, on Saturday. No, it's just
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that when you have a plan for the day, you're
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: like just really looking forward to.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: To it going the way that you want it to go,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and then they have to cancel it and improvise. I mean,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: it was still a fun day. It's just that I
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was like, ah, I wanted to get a workout in,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: you know. It's been a while since I've been one,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: but sometimes, you know, when they have Shakespeare in the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: park here in Singapore, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I sometimes wonder what happens if it rains heavily. Well,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: there were occasions at some music festivals here in Singapore,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it started raining and pouring like crazy. If they can
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: still take it or if they can still
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Um, verify that it's safe to carry on, they will
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: still carry on, which can be quite an experience, but
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: we want to hit the messages first. say good morning
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to Afik. Afik says, hey, Sojo, yes, the ruined my
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: proposal plans at Marina Barrage. No, wait, I've actually seen
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of people plan proposals at East Coast Park
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and Marina and Marina Barrage. Marina Barrage because if you
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: get on one knee and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: At the correct setting, you have a wonderful Singapore skyline
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: against the sunrise and the sunset. Yeah, yeah. Um, there was,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: there was this one time, not too long ago, I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: think it was just a few months back actually, I
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: was taking a walk at East Coast Park, right? So
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I was walking around. I saw some people setting up
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: what looked to be a proposal, like some of the, the,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the girls, they were setting it up with one dude, right?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And just while they were doing that, it started to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: get very overcast. It was gray, the skies were looking
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit angry, the wind was whipping around looking
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: quite strong, so they looked very worried and I, I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: always wondered what happened to their proposal. One saying hello
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to Sherry as well on WhatsApp saying, hey, Sojo, it's
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a first world problem.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Problem, but the rain ruining my flight, flight delay. I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: missed my connecting flight back to Singapore from Dubai a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: long time ago. Yikes. Uh, yikes is right. Um, one
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: more message coming through here from Ed. Unfortunately, all the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: time during major exercises in army when we're hoping for
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: one storm, it never happens.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you can relate on that. I'm sure you
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: can relate. Yeah, once in a while we know it's
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be a very tough day. We're just hoping rain
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: or if it's really hot and we're carrying our field
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: packs and all that, our FBVs, we really hope that
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it rains just to cool us down a bit. I
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: feel like the more you try and manifest that, the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: more it's not gonna happen, it doesn't work that way.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: 669-11987 or you can keep sending us a message on
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp 90050987. Has it ever rained on your parade before?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It could be anything, a birthday, a wedding, a surprise,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: maybe your workout that you wanted to go so badly
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: for an outdoor event. Let us know. In exchange, another
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: outdoor event. We're quite confident should be fine. Glow Festival
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: returns to Singapore again. Whoever's organizing it better make sure
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you plant the chili.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: And the onions properly. Get the right person to plant them.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: That's what we meant. Going back to our messages before
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: we head to Diana, who's hanging on the phone lines.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Has it rained on your parade before? Has it ruined
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: anything all thanks to the weather? Yeah, I mean, it
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: could be anything at all, a surprise party, your plans,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: alfresco dinner, a date, whatever, right? Saying hello to Mark,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: who says, morning guys. As a wedding and family photographer,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: also one of your wedding photographers in the evening, Sonia.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, hi Marklin. Hey Mark, outdoor shoots can be a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: headache at times. I've learned the hard way to never
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: do it again after both my cameras stopped working when
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: we collectively decided to bite the bullet to continue the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: pre-wedding shoot in the rain. The couple was kind enough
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to offer 50% of compensation, but of course, I did
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: not take it. Yeah, but this is so tough and unpredictable, right? And, uh,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: unfortunately when it comes to equipment and all that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: People pour a lot of savings into having good equipment,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you know, like you can imagine how hard it is, right?
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: So we've got Diana on the line. What, what happened, Diana?
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: think, uh, we were heading out. I was on a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: date with my then boyfriend, now husband, uh, and then
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: we were on the way there and the clouds were
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: looking black. I didn't know anything about the surprise party yet.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So when I reached the place, it started like drizzling
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: a little, little bit. I walked into the hotel, my
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: boyfriend brought me there, and then, uh, we, we walked
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: down the stairs because when we reached the ground level,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: it was actually a level, level 2 of the hotel.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: So when I reached the place, we had to walk
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: down a spiral staircase and then uh I saw like,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I saw like there were people there and they were
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: like people chattering, started pouring and then after that I,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I looked at everyone and then I realized it was
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: my proposal.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was your proposal like a surprise proposal.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, correct, with everyone because I did mention to my
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: boyfriend before that I would like my, my, my really,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: really close friends and my.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Family to be there. So he planned everything and then
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: uh it was pouring. So I think maybe the sky
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: was touched by by by this action as well.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: This one takes a deeper meaning to the next level. No,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing all the photographs and all the pictures were
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: of dark clouds raining. Were you OK?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was OK. I was. The floor was the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: floor was wet because the setting was.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, it was decorated by my friends and all, and then, uh,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: it was like an outdoor decoration and then the floor,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: the grass, all that were a bit wet. Yeah, but
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: lucky my friends were all, they didn't mind the whole,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the whole situation.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it's some things just can't be controlled. Like,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: look at my own wedding day, for example, if you
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: remember joking, it was pouring. It was pouring, and I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: think one of the things they were concerned about is like, oh,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: how are we going to take.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Catch like a GoPro on the car or like take
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: videos of the car convoy, blah blah blah, but somehow
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: it worked out and the rain actually added a touch
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of something special, you know, so no regrets, no regrets. Diana,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: on your actual day of the wedding, everything was OK. Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the weather was good.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Everything was perfect. Yeah. OK.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing the story with us, Diana.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Have a nice day.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Let us know. Is it raining where you are right now?
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Is it an exceptionally difficult morning to get up to
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and force yourself to go to work or the gym
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: or I don't know if you have any school activities
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: at all. Let us know, but we are talking about
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: how the rain can ruin your plans, just like how
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it happened to me on Saturday itself when my paddle
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: game got rained out on, and we were very disappointed
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: because my friend and her husband really wanted to learn
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: how to play. So it kind of like ruined our
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: We had to change plans. So yeah. I want to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: say good morning to Siva on WhatsApp 90050987 saying, hey, Sojo,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I was super against having a family barbecue at East
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Coast Park. Like recently or ever. I kept saying, what
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: if it rains? What if it rains? Throwback to two
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Saturdays ago. Oh no, it actually rained. We had to
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: cancel the barbecue, but we cooked the food at home instead.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the vibe's not there, you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: it's not, yeah, like the seaside, the breeze, the trees, yeah,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: the sand, exactly. Yeah, it's a different, it hits different.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, we live in a tropical country, this could
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: happen at any time.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: But I can understand how painful that is. Like you
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: got to transport all the food back to your house, yeah.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: But what I'm really surprised about is they kept saying, oh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: because El Nino is in action right now, it's gonna
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: get a lot hotter in Singapore. Thankfully, the rain has
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: cooled us down a bit, but on Saturday it was scorching.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: It was scorching after it rained. Yes, I, yes, OK, can, can.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: We still got time for a few more of your messages. 90050987.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to plan something outdoors and it
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: just rained out on you? Let us know how that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: ruined your plans. 669-11987 or drop us a message, 90050987.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: A pair of tickets to Glow Festival for the week.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: It's called Glow Festival Weekend Passes. We got one more
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: coming in from Jolene on WhatsApp. Hello, Jolene.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Morning, Sonia and Joakim heard one message earlier on the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: wedding shoot, and I thought it's quite relatable as well
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: because it rained on my overseas pre-wedding shoot in Kyoto.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: In Kyoto. Wow. It started raining before our slot started,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and we still took 30 minutes umbrella walk to our
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: first location while I was in heels. The window was
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and the moment it ended,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the rain stopped. Oh my God. My partner and I
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: had so much fun though, the photos turned out amazing.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: We could see droplets of rain in our photos. The
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: umbrella was a great prop while the rain was an
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: unpaid actor. You see, you see, sometimes you just got
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to take that attitude. Don't see it as like, oh,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: it ruined as long as it didn't storm out, you know,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: like to the point where they couldn't take the photos.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And let's just say it's a light drizzle. Yeah, it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: quite charming, I would say. After that, hopefully there could
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: be a chance of a rainbow, but nowadays AI, the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: rainbow Inn also can.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: If you wanna, if you want, I'll take it as
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: a good omen if it really appears. Anyway, what's coming
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: in the way of the winner, it's a very nice
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: glow festival experience worth almost $200. That's right. So we'll
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: reveal who the winner is today in just a couple
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: of minutes. Only one person can walk away with a
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: prize here today.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And uh this is gonna be weekend passes to GLOW Festival.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: We want you there 17th, 18th, and 19th July, where
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: people like Jason Derilo, Alessia Cara, Korean indie band Huo,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and if you're into the fitness world, these names would
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: definitely be celebrities to you, Joe Wicks, Chantelle Duncan, and
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Emmy Wong. So it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Fingers crossed, it has great weather during that weekend. Um,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: speaking of which, just squeezing in one last one, Seth.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Speaking of today's topic, I'm on a job now and
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: it's about to rain. Help. OK, good morning, guys. Let
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: me check my favorite website, weather.gov.sg. Looking at the rain clouds, I,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I cross my fingers for you. Yeah, crossing all fingers
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, the storm clouds are blowing towards central Singapore.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I see that it looks like gonna be a very
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: gray day, but congratulations in order for Diana. Congratulations, Diana.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: You're heading.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: It's for Globe Festival and you get a pair of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: tickets that are worth almost $200.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: OK, that's not. That's not Jason Gruo. OK. The and
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Khaled East Side, best side right here on 987.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station. OK. For the whole
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: period of our friendship, Sonia, that I've known you, I'm
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: scared to ask, what's the question? For almost 16 years now. OK.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: We've partied together many times, right? Yes. And, and you've
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: always been attached to different people.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: OK, hey, don't make me sound like that. No, no,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I say, OK, I've dated different people like back to back. Hello,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: 16 years, you better be with someone different before you
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: marry Jeremy and you realize he's the one for you, right? Yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: but I'm very happy that this has not happened to
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: me before.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: There are a couple of times where, yes, both of us,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: we walked out the club together, a little bit happy,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: you know, stumbling here and there, and sometimes I might
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: leave you in the hands of your boyfriend back then
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: or whatsoever. I'm very happy that your boyfriend or even
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Jeremy Sung did not assault me thinking that I was
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: hitting on you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: No, but they wouldn't because they already know of our
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: friendship and our working partnership, so it's different. You're not
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: a stranger to them. The reason why I say this
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: is because a Singaporean man broke a stranger's nose, thinking
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: that he's hitting on the drunk wife. Oh no. Oh no.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: He got 8 weeks jail. 8 weeks, yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Was he drunk? But the story is the wife went
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: partying with some of her girlfriends, right? So one of the,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the victim was the boyfriend of one of the girlfriends
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: that were there. Oh no, so he didn't know the context.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: So the girlfriend said, Hey, uh, my friend who's the wife,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a bit drunk, you said. So the boyfriend was like
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: lifting her up and walking with her. The husband saw,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: not happy, go and break the nose. My gosh, help me.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: He didn't know the context.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that that's painful. That must be painful.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: So that means the guy pressed charges. Yes, the police
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: was called after a headbutt that fractured the nose. Lord, OK.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: So yes, to all my bros out there, before you
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: help the lady out, make sure you establish the context first.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Text the husband or boyfriend saying, I am only helping
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: her out of the club. You come and take her home. Actually,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: maybe her friend should have, um, texted us. I don't know.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, look, there have been moments
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: where my partner has had to help my.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Friends out or something, right? Like I, I do remember
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: like this, this was back then, uh, I was dating
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: someone else and one of my friends, she was really, really,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: she was really wasted, like in the toilet. I couldn't
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: get her out of the toilet, it's public toilet, right?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: So firstly I asked permission. I said to all the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: ladies in this toilet, is it, OK, this guy, like
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: my boyfriend back then, is gonna come in and help
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: carry my friend out because I can't do it on
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: my own. They said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, of course.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: He comes in, he's, he had to like haul her
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: up on his shoulder to drag her out of the toilet, right?
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So in that sense, I mean, you know, we're just
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: helping each other out, but to an outsider, if you
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: don't know the context, maybe it might look like, oh,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: is he with that girl or like what's going on?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Is he taking advantage of that girl? Like, you know,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: many things can be taken out of context. Must call
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the police.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: That's the thing, right? So, um, I hope that guy's
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: nose recovers very soon, and at the end, the moral
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: of the story is maybe we should hold off on
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: the reaction first. Find out the context of the story first.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: It's been a very long time since I heard the phrase, hey,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: why you touch my girl?
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: A common phrase heard at Zuk Jakim or stairs that
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I think it's more stairs I've never said that ever. Really? Yeah,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I'm a really composed classy individual.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Ah jokes. Some live updates as it stands. New Zealand one.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Mo Salah's Egypt Kosong. Oh no, really? Yeah, you sure
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: it's not Salah.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Mhm
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting so long to make that joke. But
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: as it stands, if New Zealand wins, they top the group. Wow, hoo.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I am surprised. I mean, are they not supposed to
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: be like, are they underdogs? I mean, in a, in
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: a group with, was it Belgium? Yeah, in a group
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: with Belgium, you expect Belgium to be topping the group,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: but no. Maybe this is the year of underdogs. I mean,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I love that. I love that. You could be right. Yeah. Anyway,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: coming up in just a bit, some news, but this
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: is a very interesting discussion online, OK.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: That I, I saw quite a number of people that
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I follow share reshare on IGS and also just have
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: their two cents in. You know, ever since Yakub announced
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: that orange flavor is gonna go away, for the orange flavor.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: In fact, you were away when this whole thing blew
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: up on social media and I brought it in as
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: a topic as well.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Um, people have started noticing aside from orange yaku, there
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: were other food items that have slowly disappeared over the
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: years as well. And when I name some of them,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: it will bring back memories for you, OK? So I'll
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: give you a little list, all thanks to our friends
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: from CNA and 8 Days of 6 discontinued food or
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: beverage items, just like how.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: We are mourning the loss of orange yakut that have
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: slowly disappeared in Singapore over the years, and you see
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: which one you have had an attachment to before. Time
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: for some food news, but you know, this is more
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: of like a nostalgic type of food news because on
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the back of Yaku discontinuing their orange flavor, which quite
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: a number of people are like, justice for orange. Come on.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: But on the other flip side, some people are like,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: ah yeah, we didn't like orange anyway. OK, so like
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: nostalgic food news nostalgic news. 123, good news, news like that.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I like that, yeah, the good news. The static on
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: the radio, I can tell. Thank you.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: OK, so aside from Yakut Orange, which we are mourning
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the loss of, I'm gonna name you a few things
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and you see if you recognize them and if you
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: realize that they got discontinued. OK, let's go. Alright. Firstly,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: 7-Eleven's mashed potatoes. Do you remember that?
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: The mashed potato, the $1 mashed potato and sometimes they
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: have the $1 deals where they give you the mashed
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: potato and the big gulp. So I I I think
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: that was really like the instant mashed potatoes that we
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: know it's not even real potatoes at this point.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: But we still love it. We loved it. Honestly, it
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: was something that my friends and I always order without fail, 7-Eleven, right?
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: The gravy was good. Um, how about Mr. Softee ice cream?
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Do you still remember that? Yeah. So, uh, they remained
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: as one of the most missed food items for 7-Eleven specifically,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: but such was the demand for Mrs. Softie that 7-Eleven
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: actually brought it back a few years ago, but only
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: at selected outlets. So not every outlet will have it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Just make sure that you try and identify the ones
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: that have it.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Um, this was something that I didn't really drink because
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I don't really like, um, carbonated drinks, although they do
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: have a non-carbonated version, but do you remember anything and whatever?
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Did you ever get into that? I tried, but I'd
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: rather have my coke or ice lemon tea because knowing
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: you creature of habit, I'm not sure if you like
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: surprises when it comes to your drinks and I think
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: for anything and what.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Anything or whatever. Anything and whatever was the they were
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: jumping on people saying, yeah, whatever, whatever. I know that
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: was smart. I thought it was quite cute, but it
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: was launched in 2007, but discontinued three years later. Um,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: it was, I guess, before blind boxes became such a
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: big thing. This was blind box and a drink, blind drinks, right?
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: So anything, whatever. So it poked fun at people saying that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I thought that was quite cute as well. Um, aside
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: from that, I think this was.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: McDonald's milkshakes. Do you remember that? Previously available only outlets
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: with dessert kiosks. They came in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate flavors, flavors.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: They were removed from the menu in 2024. So that
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: was quite recent that they removed them. In fact, I
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize they were gone for real. I thought
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it was just like one of those, oh, it's gone
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: for now, but back next time kind of thing. No, no,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: but the milkshakes at McDonald's, at least in the 90s
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: or the late 80s.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: It was the place to go. Yeah, for sure. OK,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: last but not least, this one not super familiar with,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: but KFC's official burger. Do you remember that? Yeah. So
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I think I only tried it a couple of times
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: because my mom bought it back then, like the official meal, um,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: that I think comes with like a mashed potato and
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: a Pepsi, if I'm not wrong. So it's like $5 meal.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: It was removed from KFC's menu less than a decade ago,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: but I think it continues to show up in a
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: lot of like online.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Conversations and discussions, people just reminiscing and saying, please bring
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: it back. And if I'm not wrong, in 2023, there
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: was actually a petition online to bring it back. Speaking
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: of petitions, not that it's not that it's discontinued, but McDonald's,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: it's June. Spicy nuggets, please, please. I don't mind. Thank you.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Safe to say I think cinemas were packed out over
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the weekend for Toy Story 5. That an obsession as well,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: but Toy Story 5 is something I watched over the weekend.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: As a story, I stand for it. It shows you
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: how technology has taken over and kids aren't playing with
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: toys anymore. It tackles the topic of early friendships in
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: your life, might bring back some childhood memories for you.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. But the one thing that I,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: as a Toy Story fan, didn't really enjoy, they reduced
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Woody to a side character.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: So if, if, if you watch Toy Story 4, not
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: a spoiler, you would know that Woody decides to go
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: with Bo Peep on an adventure outdoors and all that.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: So Jesse becomes the new in charge of the toys.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: So the movie is centered around Jessie and her adventure
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: with Bonnie and all that, and Woody is the side character.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes it's just like that, right? Like,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: for example, even with, let's say the Harry Potter series,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, there will always be a new character or
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: a new focus on a character in a different movie. Although,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you know, Woody and Harry Potter, they will always be
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the center. They will always be an important character, but
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: some
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Um, some editions of the films that you will see
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: them take a bit of a sidebar. Yeah, but if
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: you're a Toy Story 12, and 3 purist, yeah, I'm sure,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it hits different. You will feel strongly about
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Woody and Buzz. Yeah, I know, I've got this nostalgia
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: because that's what we grew up with, right? And can
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you believe it? I was 7 when Toy Story 1
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: came out. I'm 38 this year. 31 years later, Toy
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Story 5. Yeah, still 7 mentally or no.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I mean for the fact that I'm using the woodie
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: pen you got me, that's true. 1717, some things don't change.
