• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: next.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way, it's Sonnya
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. A
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: bit of a delayed start this morning, I apologize, had
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: trouble getting a grab to the office, but hello. After
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: a week of rest, I'm finally back here on the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: shock circuit. It is yours truly, Joakim Gomez, keeping you
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: company solo this Monday morning. Singapore's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a proper catch up at just past
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: 7:00 a.m., but for now, it's all about you, especially
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: if you're on your way to school on this Monday morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe you love all things Disney, whether you're a kid
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: or a kid at heart. I wonder what the bookings
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: are for the Disney Adventure, Disney cruise for the months
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of November and December. Definitely peak bookings, so please get
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: it done.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: ASAP if you're thinking of taking your family for a
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: nice holiday, whether for 4 nights or three nights. But
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: next year, 2027 here in Singapore, if you don't know
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: what D23 is, it's the ultimate fan convention, especially if
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you're looking forward to all things Disney, where announcements about
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: maybe say new Star Wars films, new Marvel films, even
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Pixar, all things Disney, it will be done there, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: chances are there'll be some celebrities who will grace the carpet,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: grace the stage, and they'll give the fans an ultimate
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: surprise that they've never ever expected. Here in Singapore, over
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: at Marina Bay Sands, we got dates, people. 25th to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: 27th of June. It's D23 Asia for the very first
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: time in Singapore.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And they promised to give you things like special announcements,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: exclusive showcases. We got entertainment, we got shopping, and more
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as well. And they want to do their best to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: give it a very nice Asian twist. So I'm just thinking,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: when they say Asian twist, perhaps, perhaps next year, who knows,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: in the world of Marvel, Asian and all that, they
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: could announce a brand new Shang-Chi.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Let's see if it happens or not. I cannot wait
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: to see who comes to Singapore for D23 Asia. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: feel as if the past weekend and maybe say the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: past few days here in Singapore, it's been filled with
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: loads of activities, good as well as bad. When I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: say bad, yes, tempers are flaring, whether at a live
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: stream that you're watching, that's selling crystals, or at a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: hawker center here in Singapore involving someone selling one.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Tan Mee. Yep, we've all read about it. And in
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: terms of good news, if you're a baby monster fan,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I can only hope you're informed about what's happening August
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: 29th and August 30th at Orchard Road in Singapore. If not,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'll give you all the details in just a while
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: here on the Shock circuit, and also, we're going to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: be opening up our phone lines over at 669-119-87, which
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you can go relive over on Disney.
• 3:12

• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you up to on this Monday morning? Just like going
• 3:19

• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Is this for PSLE or O Levels? PSLE PSLE. OK.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: How has primary 6 been for you? Stressful at first,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: but it's all right now. OK.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So which subject do you think needs to be improved? Chinese. Chinese. Yes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you and I both, I understand the pain. What school
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: are you in, Levonne? Raffles Girls Primary School. And what's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the best part about Raffles Girls Primary? Tell us. Probably
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the canteen food. OK, if I were to go down
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to your school, what's the one thing I must try?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Uh, this store is not open all the time, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: if it is open on a day, you should try, uh,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Abong store. It's like a pasta pizza shop. Alright, OK,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I'll take note if you are ever invited to Raffles
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Girls Primary. That's it, Yvonne, what song can I get
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you here on 987?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It's called This, That by Stray Kids. Who's it going
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: out to?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Uh, all the Stray Kids fans and me and my
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: best friend, Ashley. There we go. If Formula One is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: your religion, if you love all things Formula One, then
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you would know as we gear up towards October, not
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: just here in Singapore, but maybe over in Malaysia as
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: well if you're going for the Sepan Grand Prix that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is staged, or rather the Bahrain Grand Prix is staged
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in Sepan. Wow, this is confusing to say, but yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it's happening in our Southeast Asia.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Asian region across two weeks, so enjoy all the Formula
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: One action. But here in Singapore, we are having loads
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of activities to gear you up for it. If you're
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a Mercedes fan, this name should be of no stranger
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to you, Fred Vesty. He will be in town August
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: 29th and August 30th, and joining him will be Baby
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Monster for the Adidas Orchard Ignition event. It's gonna be amazing. Yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I can't really give you much details on 987's involvement
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: as of yet, but yes, we will be there. Stay
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: close to Adidas SG's social media for all the official updates.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: But what we know so far, there'll be a garage pop-up,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: live race car demo. We've got Benjamin King and Imman
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Fundy flying to Singapore.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Flag high and performing for the event as well. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Baby Monster will be in town. I guess it's a
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: way to, you know, entice you to go for their
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: concert being staged here in Singapore at the Singapore Indoor Stadium,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: November 28th. And here's the plan. They're going to transform
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Scott's Road and Biddeford Junction to a 600 m long.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Open inverted commas, F1 track where Fred Veste will be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: zooming down those corners for 600 m. There you go. So,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I wonder which car will he be using. Will he
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: be using a Mercedes F1 car or will he be
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: using like a Mercedes car that goes at high speeds?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see. He's the only one that can do so
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore. I cannot wait.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So again, August 29th, August 30th, mark this date down,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and there are ways to get up close and personal
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: with the stars and for to all the action as well.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: But in terms of watching the F1 cars zoom down
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Orchard Road, you can do it for free. So, again,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: as we tick down closer to the date, we're 12
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: days away. We'll give you more details here on 987.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And do allow me the next 1 to 2 minutes
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to say a big thank you very much.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yes
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Personally, and if you do enjoy the show, if you
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: do enjoy the banter between Sonia and I, and if
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you've supported us over the years, you would know that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: once in a while if we do NDPs together, chances
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: are we might take the next few days to rest
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and relax and come down from that high known as
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: an NDP. So for this year, it was just yours truly. Hopefully,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: next year, me and Sonia again. But the thing is, uh,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: for this year,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I, I, I felt as if I was super involved
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: in NDP because Fridays, I'm just gonna give you some
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: insider info, right? Fridays, it's where they do the tech
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: run or the system run as they call it, where
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: everything follows a queue and the timings, it follows it
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: to a T.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So the hosts have a chance to rehearse the lines,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: practice and run through the entire sequence, try out new
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: moments or whatsoever before they go to the show rehearsals
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and the show segments, and then a full show rehearsal,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: which is known as your Saturday NE shows or even
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: your previews.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And of course, the actual day itself. So, given how
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: it's a new team this year, Gurmit came back. We
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: got Hafiz, we've got CC, we got Udaya as well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: So all of us just said, hey, you know what?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go on down on Fridays. Let's rehearse everything and hopefully,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: we give you a great, we gave you rather a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: great show on Sunday, and for how I spent my
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: leave coming down from that high of an NDP, honestly,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: there was still plenty of work to be done.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: So if anything, I felt as if I took leave
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: from waking up at 4:45 or 5:00 a.m. daily in
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the mornings, but yeah, there was a Thursday where I
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: spent some time with Sonia doing something for Uniqlo and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: filming something football-related, which you will see in a while
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: as well, and spend time with my grandma, who's 103
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: years old. I posted a picture on Instagram. If you
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: want to go have a look at her beautiful smile,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: please do so and wow, my, my grandma has really
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: lived through many things. I'm talking world wars, the coronation,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and even seeing Singapore from what it was to what
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it is today. So,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Again, thank you so much for all your comments, all
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: your lovely DMs about how much you enjoy my work.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. Look, if it's any other media platform,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I won't say anything, but given how it's 987 and
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it's home for me here, and if you're tuned in,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: chances are, again, you enjoy the show and you enjoy
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: us being your companions to work or school in the morning.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I feel all the more comfortable to say so. So again,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: a big thank you. I wish Sonia was here with me.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: She's not here for a reason. I'll leave it to
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: her to tell you tomorrow when she's back with us
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: on the show. I got a hilarious text. OK lah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you a hint here. I got a hilariously
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: painful text from her last night. I burst out laughing
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and I made sure she was OK first and I said,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say why you're not on the show
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: on Monday, but on Tuesday when you come back, please
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: share with us the entire story of what happened when
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: she was playing paddle on Sunday. That's all I'm gonna say.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: But in the last few days here in Singapore, a
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: bit more on a serious note, I believe tempers were flaring.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Whether was it, was it on live stream, the the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the viral video now of the two live streamers cursing
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and wishing misfortune upon you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: If I was on the receiving end of that, I'd
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: be quite scared.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And then the other one, which are all of us
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in Singapore, I, I dare say all of us, we
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: were all rightly outraged, but social media now has become
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: a bit of a discourse on two separate issues. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: this one involves the, the uncle of the Wantan Me
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: store over at the Roxy area, the Roxy Square area
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong. Uh, Noah Yap actually posted about
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: it on how this uncle has been supporting him for
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the last few years or so, and it was because
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of this uncle Noah Yap actually loves Want Tan Mee.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Um, given whatever happened in the last few days, long
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: story short was the uncle, who's a 70+ year old man,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: needed the assistance of tables to walk from, you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: point A to point B. So, upon approaching the final
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: table he had to cross, there was a family with
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a little young girl having a meal.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And the uncle, in his opinion, went, ah, you're so cute,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: pat the head for a while and walk. Then I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: think if you watched the CCTV video, the wife wasn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: too happy, then why don't touch my child? And then
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the father came out, confronted the uncle. Things got really heated,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and the father actually dragged and threw the uncle to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a table, or rather allegedly because yes, the CCTV shows it,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: but it needs to be proven in court that it
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: really did happen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And of course, people are outraged saying, hey, how can
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you be so violent with a 70 year old man?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: On the other side, people are saying, hey, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: with the reports of, again,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I, I, I'm just reading to you all the comments
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and the public sentiment, and unfortunately, at least it has
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: happened here in Singapore. The people are saying, you know
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: how many cases of men touching children, violating them and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, I, I would not want any stranger
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: touching my child. Yes, I hear your point. All of
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: us do, but the other question is, is violence truly
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the answer? Because, yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: In the second video, what you might not have seen
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: was actually the the husband and and I mean the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: dad of the child and the uncle sat down together
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to have a discussion.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: And the husband actually offered the uncle a cup of tea,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: but I don't think a drink will solve anything. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the latest update, according to social media based on what
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I've seen is the uncle has gone to a doctor
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to make sure that everything is OK, and he was
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: interviewed by the media, I think yesterday or the day before,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and he said, yeah, he's taken Panadol. It helps with
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the pain. He doesn't want to, you know, cause any
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: more trouble. He just wants to carry on. He's doing
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: his business and all that.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It's really sad to see. It it's someone's dad and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: all that, and if someone were to do that to
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: my dad, who's around the same age, I'll be rightly
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: outraged as well. So I think the police has taken action.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: The police are involved now, so it's an ongoing investigation.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I guess the next few things that we find out
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: will be through the media once the police releases the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: official word, but there you go. Um, tempers really flaring
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore. Cool down, people. Violence, of course, never,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: never the answer.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, in terms of, you know, touching children and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: all that, whether if you mean well, uncle, auntie, it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a whole different generation now. The, the kampong spirit of
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the 70s, the 80s, even the 60s, it's no longer present.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: People are extra protective and they have a good reason
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: to do so, given what has made the news in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the last few months or even years here in Singapore.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So I think both sides need to really err on
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the side of caution.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: But it's sad. It's really sad. I think everyone's outraged
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and shout to Noah Yap again who actually went down
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to go and visit the uncle and make sure he's
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: OK and catching up with him. But all I know
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: is November 20th.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm just sharing a bit too much with
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you here. November 20th, I'm on leave for that Friday
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: because GTA comes out November 19th, GTA 6. So, I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: wanna make sure I play all of it before I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: come back to work and before all the spoilers take
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: place on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram reels. There you go.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: But when we come back here on the shock circuit though,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the phone lines will be open.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: at 669-119-87. You can even WhatsApp us at 90050987. This
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: one inspired by live streamers. Live streamers selling you things
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: on maybe say TikTok or Instagram or any other platform
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: that they conduct a live selling on.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I, I, I just wanna know something, OK? And, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: be honest with me. You can remain anonymous if you
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: want to when you call or text us. What's the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: most random thing you bought from a live stream or
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: a live seller? Because, uh, yeah, again, tempers flaring, but,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: but this one on social media.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: That there is a bit of a backstory to it
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and see whose side you're on, but have a thought
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: about this. If you've done all these live selling or
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: if you rather bought items from it, what is the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: most random item you've bought? Give us your details in
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: just a while over at 669-011987. Now or never could
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be a phrase where maybe your favorite live stream seller
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: might be saying, you better buy now, huh, you better
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: get it now or never.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I might or might not have said it a couple
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of times whenever I do some of these, uh, live
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: streams with some brands like Dyson, for example. I wanna
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: give a shout out to them. I think I did
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: one for them earlier in the year, or was it
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: last year? And back when, you know, during COVID times
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: when Shopee or Lazada, they, they used to have those
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: live selling things where they'll give you exclusive discounts. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I remember doing
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Something for Ben and Olofson on the Lazada store. It
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was quite fun actually. It's a bit of a thrill,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and I, I, I'm not really familiar with the ins
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and outs because I know of people who do it
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: full time and I'm very sure these two live streamers,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: or rather live sellers, I'm not too sure what the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: correct term is, live sellers, let's just call them that, uh,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: who went viral over the weekend because they were cursing
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: at people on their store. But, OK.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Let's just say this is your full-time job. You have
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: to travel 16 hours to go to the live selling
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: venue to do your work and then you travel 16
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: hours back to Singapore and you set the rules already.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: If you want to buy the item, you buy. You
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: don't click add to cart and then you.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Hold it there forever, then you let it go. I think, yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: they were rightly angry, but the choice of words used,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I can't repeat here on air. I might lose my job,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: but the one part that really scared me was, well,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I transfer all my swayness to you. Why?
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Someone now 7 months, very sway to hear these things,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you know, very panang. So yeah, there you go. Don't
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: make your favorite live seller angry. It's hilarious. Uh, TikTok
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and I think social media having a field day in
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the comment section, but that's it though. Uh, it's it's
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: amazing what's being sold on your live streams and all that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Random items that I never knew I needed, you might
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: end up buying. I kid you not. Whether it's crystals, ointments,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: can be anything that you might just walk past at
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a pasar malam or maybe even your random hardware stalls
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore, you might not buy it. You won't
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: even look at it twice, but on live stream, you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: see it look.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So good and maybe the live seller is doing such
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: a good job, you actually buy it and when it
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: finally arrives, you go, what do I use this for?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Why did I buy it? So, 669-11987 or you can
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: WhatsApp us at 90050987 to celebrate the spirit of things
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: that you bought from a live streamer or a live seller.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: What's the most random thing you've bought?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Do you use it? Let us know and if you
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: want to as well, let us know how much you
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: paid for it. And if we do like your answer,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: if you do make us chuckle on this Monday morning
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: or if you give us a story that we could
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: all learn from, we've got a very nice dining experience.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: All thanks to our friends over at Over Easy. We're
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: giving you a $200 dining experience. Yes, inspired by the
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: viral video of the two live streamers cursing the people
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: who
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Had the order in their carts, but they canceled it
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: at the last minute. Wow, they were really angry. Choice
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: words were being used, tempers were flaring, and the one
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: part that got me quite scared was one of the
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: streamers said, I transfer all my sweetness to you. Wow.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: If that really worked, I wonder, I wonder.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: But inspired by that, here's a question I asked. What
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: is the most random thing you've bought from a live streamer?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Couple of interesting answers coming our way. I want to
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: say good morning to Sharon. Sharon says, hey, Joakim, there
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: was once I bought 10 packs of socks because the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: seller said it was the last few sets. I panicked
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: and I added 10. I still have 8 pairs unopened.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Sharon, I think you found a good birthday gifts and
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: maybe even Christmas presents as well. One more coming in
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: from Valerie. Valerie says, Hey Joakim, a mini waffle maker.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I don't even eat waffles. I just saw the lady
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: making one in 30 seconds and I thought I needed
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: one as well. I bought it. It's still in the box.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: This is why I wish Sonia were here. I want
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: to ask her about her ice cream maker. Is it
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: still in the box or has she finally used it?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: At least more than two times. Yeah, because if she
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: uses it once, it doesn't count. It's been what, 2
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: years already? Keep your answers coming in over at 669-011-987
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: or WhatsApp us at 90050987. What is the most random
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: or ridiculous thing you've
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Bought from a live streamer on your TikTok shop. Anything
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: can be sold these days. Yes, I kid you not.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: If I were to open 987's TikTok Live right now,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and I sold you the current pen that I'm using,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: which is about to be finished, confirm somebody will buy.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: If I said the correct things and use the correct phrases.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So again, for people who do TikTok shops, all those
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: live streams selling, well done to you. It's not easy.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Some go on for what, 5, 1016 hours even to
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: just really sell, get their profits and get their products
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: out for the brand or anything that they represent. But sometimes,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Some things may happen on TikTok Live or Instagram Live
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: as well, where a potential buyer might add things to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: his or her cart, but in the end, they will
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: let it go. They don't want to buy it last minute,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: to which other customers wanted to buy the same item. They,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: they feel as if they missed out their chance. They
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: don't join the live stream anymore, and for a live streamer, look,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: audience numbers and people who buy it, it's their currency.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: It's very
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Very important to them. So I think two live streamers
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: got very angry that this happened to them, where customers
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: were adding things to their cart, but in the end
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: they didn't buy it. They canceled the items and they
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: started to go off. I think there's a full 11
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: minute video circulating on social media somewhere, and one of
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the lines, one of the live streamers said was, I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: transfer all the swayness to you. It can be quite scary.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Knowing what month it is as well, but my question
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: inspired by all these live sellers and live streaming, what
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: is the most random or ridiculous item that you've bought
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: on a live stream? Let me know, and I wanna
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: say good morning to Kikio. Hello, Kikio. Kiyo, you say, morning, Joakim.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: The most random thing I ever bought, a 10 cent
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: cash card sleeve from TikTok shop.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And yet every time I take the card out to tap,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I still struggle to put it back in. It cost
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: me 10 cents and approximately 10 years of frustration.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: OK. One coming in from CAG and I've seen this
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: also on your TikTok lives or sometimes your Facebook Lives
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: as well. Hey, Joakim, random praying items like joss papers
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and candles, to which I replied saying, which I'm very
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: sure you end up using, I hope, and she goes, yes,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: but out of not wasting them, I bought them from
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: a Malaysian live streamer and it cost me nearly $1000. Wow!
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for sharing that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I, I've seen like amulets being sold, let
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: alone crystals and all sorts of other prayer items. So
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: please be extra careful and do your research before buying it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: We've got more texts coming in and I wanna say
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: good morning to Michael. Michael says, hey, Joakim, I bought
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a massage gun. I bought it at 2 a.m. because
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the seller was demonstrating it on his calf and looked
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: so happy.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Wow. In a way, we are all victims of live streams.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: On the topic of the most random or ridiculous thing
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you bought from a live seller or a live stream,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I want to go back to WhatsApp for a bit? 90050987.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Bit of a WhatsApp heavy day today. Hey, Joakim, I
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: want to say good morning to Bee. I once bought
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: a pretty expensive lapel pin.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Online for my first day at work because I wanted
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to look professional. The seller wore it so nicely during
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the live stream, but when it arrived, I suddenly chickened
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: out because I realized I'd stand out way too much,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and honestly, I didn't think it looked that nice on
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: me either, so I never wore it. It's still sitting
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: in my drawer to this day.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe if it's still in the packaging, you can go
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: and re-gift it to someone. Wanna say good morning to Anonymous.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Are you joking, today I better remain anonymous. Somehow I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: don't know what got into my mind. I bought a
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: box of adult diapers during the live stream sale, as
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: it's said to be so comfortable and absorbed well.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And the live streamer said it feels like not wearing
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: any at all. Oh well, maybe someday I might need
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: it or just use it as wipes. Oh no!
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: There you go. Again, you see, people are just buying
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: anything off a live stream. Things that you won't even
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: look at twice in person. Keep the stories coming in
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: over at 669-11987. The worst thing, the random thing or
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the ridiculous thing you bought through a TikTok live stream
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: or an Instagram live as well from all those live sellers.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Going back to WhatsApp, again, today being a very WhatsApp
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: heavy day. I wanna say good morning to Richie. Hello, Richie.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Richie, you say good morning, Joakim. The random thing I bought,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: mineral water.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: I was out with my mom to NTUC a few
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, saw them having a promotion at 2 for
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: $520 thinking, wow, I went into the TikTok live stream
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the same night and I saw a live streamer selling it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: TikTok vouchers all in. I got 4 cartons for a
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: little over $130 half of NTUC. Now my partner goes
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: to work looking like some rich tai tai only drinking Evian.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: There you go. One more coming in from, if I'm
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: not wrong, your name is Megan. Megan, you say, hey Joakim,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I once bought a dog toy from TikTok Live. I
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: don't even have a dog, but I thought the toy
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: looked cute, and I asked, What are you doing with
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the toy right now? Megan replies, Joakim, the toy is
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: still in the parcel.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It's on my floor. Thank you so much for all
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: your texts today, a WhatsApp heavy topic. I asked, what's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: the most ridiculous or random thing that you've bought of
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: a live streamer or a live seller? Lots of interesting
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: answers ranging from mineral water, a 10 cents credit card sleeve,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: adult diapers, but for today's winner, I want to give
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: it to Megan who texted us earlier. Megan buying a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: dog toy when she does not even have a dog.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we're clapping for you, Megan, but OK,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: what's coming your way, of course, a very nice dining experience.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: All thanks to our friends over at Over Easy. You've
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: got timeless dinner classics and cocktails with quality ingredients and

• 26:27
  Speaker 2: to Over Easy SG on Instagram, and again, what's coming
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: your way is not $100 but $200 worth of dining experiences.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: All thanks to Over Easy. Again, to you, I say congratulations, Megan.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And in case you missed the entire topic, not to worry,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: it's available for you and catch up on Spotify as well.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: If you're a Marvel fan, we've got loads of updates
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: coming your way involving Avengers Doomsday. Yes, we are about
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: maybe say 4 months away to it being out in
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: cinemas here in Singapore, December 18th, of course, worldwide. And
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: have you ever heard Johnny Depp sing? Yeah, that's my
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: question to you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Not counting Sweeney Todd, OK? That one, you just leave
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: it one side, but have you ever heard him sing
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: a rock song on stage? There you go. And also
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: more details coming your way about the Formula One Singapore Airlines,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Singapore Grand Prix. I think they finally released a summary
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: of all the big names that will be here in Singapore, October,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: the second week of October because of course, don't forget,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the very first week.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: It's happening over at Sepan, where the Bahrain Grand Prix
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: is being staged. And OK, I don't know if you've
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: seen it yet. It was released about a day ago.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: 26 million views already on YouTube, all thanks to Marvel Entertainment.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: It's the special look at Avengers Doomsday, and for this trailer, I,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I think it's the best one yet. I know we
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: save it for every single trailer, our friends.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: That Marvel put out. But yeah, it gives you more drama.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: It shows you a confrontation between Reed Richards played by
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Pedro Pascal, and Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: and look, they are really making Doctor Doom the villain
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: of all villains, or is he not a villain? Is
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: he an antihero? Is he trying to save a different universe?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: So many questions.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: are being asked, but shout out to Robert Downey Junior. Look, yes,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: you might think comic book movies and you might have
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: opinions about it, but let's not forget the fantastic actor
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that he is. He has to make sure people see
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: him as Doctor Doom and not, hey, it's Iron Man,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: it's Tony Stark. So, listen to his voice as Doctor Doom.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I believe it's the very first trailer we have of
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Doctor Doom actually speaking.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: have lived
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Fallen lives
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Aha, Giving him the Latvarian accent, whatever that's supposed to be.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: And then there is a scene in the trailer where Thor,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: he says, you're back for hell before I'm done with you.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: So he jumps and all that lightning is surrounding Thor.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: He lands in front of Doctor Doom, only to get
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: flicked away like a fly, and Robert Downey Junior, as
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Doctor Doom says this. He answers to me.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I cannot wait for December. Giving you a bit of
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: music history, OK? I want to throw you back to
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: when David Bowie was in his prime and he put
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: out loads of fantastic songs and how about this one
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: called Heroes?
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this, David Bowie could have been your
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: favorite musician's favorite musician. There you go. And for Johnny Depp,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I had no idea he's actually part of a band
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: called Hollywood Vampires formed by Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. Yeah,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: these two big names in the Rock and Roll Hall
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: of Fame and the rock and roll scene in terms
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: of music as well. So if you know that.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Then well done. Your music taste is very eclectic. So
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I think over the weekend, they had a bit of
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: a concert, and usually what they do is they pay
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: tribute to rock and roll legends no longer with us.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: This is Johnny Depp singing David Bowie's Heroes. Have a listen.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, look, if you told me on a random Monday morning,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: 17th of August 2026, I'll be hearing Captain Jack Sparrow
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: sing David Bowie's Heroes. I would have called you a liar,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: but there you go. And I believe the full performance
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is available for you on YouTube or I think one
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: of those, uh, entertainment sites that posted the song itself
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: on their Instagram page as well. Wow, Johnny Depp.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Men can sing. So, giving you the full lineup. I,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether they announced everyone because every day
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I refresh the page, I see new names added, whether
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: to the DJ stages or the other stages. But your
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: main acts on Friday at the Padang and the Wharf stages,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: we're talking 9th of October, we got JJ.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Jay Lynn, Split Enz, Cortis, and the Formula One Drivers
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Fan Forum. Saturday, we've got the Killers, Goo Goo Dolls,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Zara Larsson, and also the Fan Forum again. On Sunday,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: we got three big names for you, Lana Del Rey,
• 31:56
