  Speaker 2: It's Sonia and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us on a public holiday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: It's May Day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Whatever
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: reason you're awake,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I wonder why. Or maybe people haven't gone to sleep yet.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Please sleep in and from the parties last night, maybe. Anyway,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: happy long weekend. Stay tuned to more for you next.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: OK. In theory, if we could have enjoyed a public
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: holiday and a long weekend, what would you be doing today?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Aside from sleeping, aside from sleeping, aside from running and sleeping.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Oh damn
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Because actually I was gonna say, I know it's a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: public holiday, right? So I might have actually slept earlier
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the night before.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe wake up at 5:30 and go for a sunrise
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: jog at the Punggol coast area, get a nice view,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: go home and then sleep the entire
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: day
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: away. Oh, OK. That's the thing, I can't do that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Like I can't sleep in the daytime. It's, it's a
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: challenge for me, so.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Sometimes I end up like accidentally staying
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: out too late the night before accidentally, yeah, then I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: ruin my next morning. Yes, it is an accident. Sometimes
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: not intentional. You just go and then suddenly you and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: your friends got the feels to go like dance or something.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Then the rest is history, too late. Well, if you
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: are still awake right now and you're just going home
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: or going back from supper, I'm sure there's going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: be people out there doing that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Sounds
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: good.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Welcome to the month of May.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And also happy Labor Day to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You should not be tuning in right now. You should
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: be asleep.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Or if you are, thank you for having us in
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the background.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Actually, unless you're that, as I was, as I was
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: driving into work this morning, um, there was a bunch
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of like cyclists, like road cyclists, right? So at the,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: at the traffic lights, there was one group and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: group just didn't stop.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Like there was more and more and more people that
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: cycled past. I think I counted like almost 50 cyclists.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they usually go for very early
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: early because it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: peak hour starts in Singapore, even on public holidays as well.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So if you're a shift worker, if you're working in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the medical industry and all that, we say thank you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: for doing what you do. You got us for company
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: here on the circuit. When we come back though, Sonia,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: something to celebrate about here in Singapore, which is a film.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: is taking part in the top international animation festival.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I actually know which one this is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: A very proud moment for us here in Singapore, especially
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: if you love films and not uh real-life films or
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: live action remakes or whatsoever, no, animated films and there
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is one that is locally produced, by the way, by
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: director Irvin Han and Spaniard Raul Garcia.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Who has worked on things like Beauty and the Beast
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and The Lion King. Yes, so I, I believe the, uh,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: both of them collaborated to release an animated film called
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: The Violinist, and it's been nominated for a very prestigious
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: international animation festival known as the NSC Film Festival.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And it's the first Singapore-produced animated film to do so. Congratulations.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, um, doing some research about it. It's like
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the pinnacle of the animation, right? So, you know, people
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: go for like the Cannes Festival. This is like the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: animated version.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this animated film is set in Malaysia and Singapore in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the year 1941.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I dare say at the height of World War II,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and it follows two childhood friends bound for their love
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: for music. So very cute and I think um something
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: quite refreshing as well coming out of Singapore. Yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, the likes of Tang Hua, Adrian Pang,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Fang and Aiden, the actors and the actresses.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Love it, love it for them. So I'm very excited,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: especially for the makers of the film too.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So all the best. Coming up in just a few minutes,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: imitation often is um the best form of flattery, as
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: we always say, right?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Who copied
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Singapore's the right now?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: think there were quite a few attempts to sort of
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: open inverted commas, copy our designs like MBS I believe
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: some other country, I can't remember which country has their
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: own MBS, their own Raffles City, something like that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And if I'm not wrong, somewhere in the Middle East
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: or was it China, they tried to do something like
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Jewel Changi.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, the vortex, right? Yes, yes, yes. Speaking of which,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: did you see that viral post of someone complaining why
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the vortex was closed, and all the Singaporeans are like, aiya,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: don't come and visit la. I know, I didn't even
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: see the opening hours. OK, as you know, um, we've
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: got a very well-loved supermarket here in Singapore. When I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: say that, which one are you thinking of?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: You say well-loved. I mean, only because we've spoken about
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: this and we use the same two words for it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Sheng Xiong,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: yes, you're right. All for you, yeah. OK, well, that's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: not to say other supermarkets aren't good, but I think
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it was just because they've been making the news quite
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a bit, right, in the recent months or so. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: since COVID, you know, they won a lot of praise. Um, you,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you recognize the Sheng xiong logo, right? You would be
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: able to recognize it from a mile away, the green
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and blue with the Chinese word.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Which says what actually is it sour or something.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Never mind. Anyway, there's a mini mart over in Geylang
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that has drawn some attention, OK, for looking exactly like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the Sheng Siong supermarket logo, and people are just amused.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's the same, same but different kind of situation over at, uh,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Lorong 22 Geylang. It's called Huishunng Supermarket, and it's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: little mini mart situation, but it looks almost exactly the same.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: The owner of the supermarket has responded and said, I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: designed a logo after my own name. There's no infringement issue.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It's a completely different concept. And yeah, yeah, that's what
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he said. But I don't know who was the one
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that went and took the picture of that minimart and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: then put it side by side with Sheng Chong and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: posted it up online. So, yeah, um, he's, he's defending
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: his logo right now, to which I said, you know, valid.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: It's just his, I think he's inspired by his name,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: but the color scheme a bit similar lah.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The details a bit similar also.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so to, um, talk about the Sheng xiong logo, yeah, we,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: when we speak in English, we, we call it Shengxiong, right? Yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: but actually, if I'm not wrong, I think it's pronounced
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: in Mandarin Sheng hong,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Shengshong, yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: OK, but the logo is the word, right. It's not zao, yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it's not 00
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Sheng is rising, so I think the word is sheng. Oh,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the word is
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: sheng.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, again, proving that you're the worst Chinese friend I have.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Can you,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: can you, you didn't even give me a chance. I mean,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: what if
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's abstract?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: No, it could be abstract the way that he wrote it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And by
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the way, Tao isn't written like that. Oh, it has
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: more characters than Tao. Oh, how come this one I know? Hello.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Wait, let me see how, how is Tao? The root
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and then the shi below.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: We,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we are actually doing this. There's a root in the below,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: right? I it comes out as the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: country. Never mind.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It's OK. You know how Singapore, we are a clean
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and green city, and I think we're an inspiration to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: many countries worldwide. Maybe even our friends across the causeway
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: as well, Malaysia. They probably have seen us and go, OK,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know what, we want to keep Malaysia clean as well.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: So I think it was sometime this year where they said, OK,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: if you litter Malaysia, you'll be in trouble whether you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Malaysian or any other citizen from around the world. Uh,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: unfortunately over in Johor Bahru.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: The first ever littering, you know, those corrective work order
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: situations
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: where you wear the luminous vest, yeah, OK,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: it had to be, you know, two Singaporeans involved in
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this one for the first corrective work order but Malaysian
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: version in Johor Bahru.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And their crime, inverted commas, was throwing cigarette butts
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and they were caught onto the floor instead of the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: trash bin, and this happened around KSL city, a mall
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that's very familiar to popular and familiar to Singaporeans here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So how, what kind of hours do they have to
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: clock in? It was documented,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but you know lah, whenever something happens to a Singaporean
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: across the causeway, our friends would love to make an
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: example of us. So please don't give them a chance
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to do them
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: reason.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, with every country that we go to, right,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sure most of us tend to be a bit
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: more wary of their laws and stuff because as a
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: foreigner when you go in, you don't want to like
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: do anything to offend other people in their own country, right?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, so auntie, uncle, brother, sister, if you can do
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: scroll TikTok, you can simply do a Google search.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: On the rules of the country. Actually,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: you know what, regardless of the rules, I don't think
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we should be tossing things on the ground anyway.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, of course not, no.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Like regardless of how strict the country is, let's just
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: not do it, you know.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: What's the drama?
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I got no drama for you. Can you stop it?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Every morning Joim comes in and he's like, Hey, what's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the tea? Any tea for
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: me?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sonia is my daily dose of.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I have a pot of it that's piping hot.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just a drop, yeah, sometimes it's lukewarm. It's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: still tea
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: nonetheless. So do we have tea for us
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: tea on air here on
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: 987 for all of us to tune into.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: No tea, but sometimes the tea that we share can't
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: be spilled on air also, if you know what I mean.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Never mind la podcast.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Airing all your dirty laundry there. Anyway, uh, coming up
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: in just a few minutes, something going on over in
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the Changi Airport area, OK, and it's nothing to do
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: with Terminal 5. We all know Terminal 5 is ongoing
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: right now. Can I guess?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: They found unexploded World War 2.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: No, thankfully not.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Hopefully not, but I'll fill you in in just a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: little bit. Hopefully, this keeps Changi Airport at the top
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of everyone's minds worldwide. OK. Now, like I mentioned, lots
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of things always happening over in Changi Airport and it's
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: our pride and joy, right? We're very proud of Changi
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Airport and um the things they've achieved over the years
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: as a young nation. Um, Terminal 3 is about to
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: get a major upgrade ahead of Terminal 5 opening, by
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the way. So there's a lot going on.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Um, what's happening is they're introducing more digital technology, more
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: robotics for self-service check-ins, and toilet cleaning.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a test bed for the
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: upcoming Terminal 5, Jokim.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Wow. And if you're wondering, Terminal 3 officially opened January 9th, 2008.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So it's been a good 18 years.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, they, they're doing an upgrade, although of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: course with Changi Airport, as you know, no matter how
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: old the terminal is, they've maintained it very well. So
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you can tell some terminals are older than others, but
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: they've been small little upgrades. They keep it very clean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: they keep it very polished. Um, so I think.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Between now and Terminal 5 opening, passenger traffic is going
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to continue to grow, right, before T5 takes over some
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of that load. So, um, I, I think our friends
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: over at Changi Airport, they just want to make sure
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: passengers continue to experience the same level of comfort and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: service that they're used to, and I think it's pretty
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: smart that they're going to test out some of these
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: robotics at T3 first before rolling it out at T5.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: if anyone's wondering, Terminal 5 slated to open mid-2030.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they are laying the groundwork right now and everything.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: So it's kind
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of given my mom a bit of motivation. Oh yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: because she was saying, oh, should I retire? Should I stop?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: How long has she been at Changi Airport?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Very long,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: very long, OK, in different
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: departments. So it was a first-class premium service officer and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: then now she's doing it, for example, you're flying to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Korea in the morning, she's on ground making the announcements,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: making sure that you get on the plane safely, and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: if you're Korean because she speaks the language in Korean.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: No wonder I never run into her because she was
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: in first class, which a long time ago never experienced,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and uh I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: don't speak Korean.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: So my mom was saying that oh, maybe I want
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to retire. Then she read about Terminal 5 and she goes, OK,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you know what, I want to keep going to Terminal 5.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: So at least that,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: is it
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: good lah. I mean she's still walking, active and working
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: hard and all that. No, that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: great. I mean, I honestly with our personality type, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: don't think that we'll be able to retire so early.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Will you,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: honestly, yeah, I know if I were to ever retire
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: or leave radio or MCing early, I cannot rest. Exactly.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I would be
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: so restless.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It's like Tony Stark in Iron
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Man. Or maybe if you strike total tomorrow, for example, right,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: like you would still want to do something, right? You
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know, but there'll be signs, but I'll still be here.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: You'll still be here, but you'll be doing it for
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: fun already at this point.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But my
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: address will change to Marina Bay Penthouse,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: you know, OK, I see, I see. Or you buy
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: some island somewhere.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Where Island a boat. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: think man and island enough lah. Oh,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: is it bad news. OK, sorry, sorry, sorry, you stay
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: here we don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: need a Gomez Island.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I feel as if I'm doing a live chat with
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: boss Janice right now on WhatsApp. I'm gonna ask her
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a question, OK? I just typed Boss Janice, are we close?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: OK, are we? She replied, Yes,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: yes, we are. Yeah, we are
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: close because, OK, people are supposed to call in at
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: 669-119-87 when they hit the queue to call, right? But
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: there are some who are WhatsApping us their guesses. Yes, yes.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Apparently, I think Boss Genice has been scanning through the answers.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: One of them got the answer right on WhatsApp, but
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that's not how we play the game. Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: that's not how we play. You have to call through
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: unfortunately or fortunately. She won't tell us which one. She won't.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: We got like hundreds of messages every day. OK, let's go.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: 87 Secret sin.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Good morning, 987. This is Amir and I want the
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: 100 right now.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Of course, yes. OK, Amir, I think you are a
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: lucky caller because you've heard all six clues for the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: very first time. You've been following the game already and
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we have $10,000.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: How confident are you of winning the money right now
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: on 987?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I'm almost 100%
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: confident
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I've been talking to my wife about this. Is she
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: in the car with you right now by any chance? Uh,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: no,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: she's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: not.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: She's sleeping right now. She's sleeping OK I might, I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: might give her a good news.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: If I win this 100.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: If you win $10,000 will you split $50 each or
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: all the $100 going to your wife? Everything is to her.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I love that. Husband of the year, man. OK. Listen
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: very carefully now, OK. Here's the sound.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: For $10,000 Amir, what is 987's secret sound? OK, so
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: my guess for
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the 987 secret sound is the the the the the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: filter being clicked into the water purifier.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: You are incorrect. Your chance to play 987's secret sound continues.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: What's that sound?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Oh no. Not, not the answer we're looking for, but. Alrighty,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for your call. Take care, Amir.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Amir. Thank you so much. Thank you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: much,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: guys. You guys
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have been great. Thank you. Thank you. Have a nice weekend.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: One guess
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: win big.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: What's that sound?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: About to open up phone lines right now and also
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: our WhatsApp messages. You know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the news as of late, I think maybe on
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: social media, I won't say it's the biggest piece of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: news we had this week, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: There was a debate going on. Yeah, Singapore
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Airlines and the whole halal food options here and there,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to which I don't think we're gonna touch on that
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: because it's being debated and discussed. There are so many
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: experts now and even religious experts weighing in on this.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: That's right. So we'll leave it for that for social media,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: but I was just thinking, what's the best in-flight meal
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you've ever had?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Actually, I, uh, I, I had this amazing, I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: it was a beef noodle, like a beef brisket noodle thing. Yes,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: on Singapore Airlines economy. So this was a short flight.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I think I was going to, I can't recall, was
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it Thailand or was it Bali, either one of those
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: for a friend's wedding, and they served the in-flight meal,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to which sometimes I'll just ask like, oh, what, what
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: would you recommend, you know, and usually my taste, I'll
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: go for the Asian option for sure.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So I decided to go for it. Um, I will
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: double-check whether it's a rice or noodle, but if I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: not wrong, it's beef noodle. It was so good. It
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: was so good. I took a photo and I actually
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: posted on IGS and I recommended anyone who's flying SQ
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: um on economy during that period of time, go for that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: So some of my
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Followers actually did. They say, Hey, OK, I try lah
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: because I'm going for a short trip, and some of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: them tagged me in their story saying like, Hey, it
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: was actually very good. It was actually really good. Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Having had the honor of experiencing and the privilege in
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Singapore Airlines, I don't know why it's
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: different.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: OK, because you pair it with champagne.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: No, I don't drink champagne on, on board. Oh, you don't.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'll just spend the Coke Zero and the red wine.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK, OK,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: OK, OK, not so much the champagne. I, I, I've
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: never liked champagne.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, because you've only experienced it in the club. That's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: not the right way to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: little bit weird.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: OK, but, um, in terms of economy or even a
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: budget airline, OK, people might debate this. AirAsia.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: You like the green curry? Yes. Oh, I knew you
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: were gonna say that for some reason.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: The green
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: curry or the nasi lemma. Hey, it's not too bad,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: you know. It's not,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: it's not OK. I will say that I did like it, but, um,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: at one period of time, I was, I was doing
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a campaign like filming with them, and we had to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: fly their airline like all the time. So like every
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: weekend I was flying an AirAsia flight, right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, for SSBD back then to the point where we
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: ate the nasi lem and the green curry until I
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: cannot touch it anymore, but it was indeed good. That's
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: why we kept ordering it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember my flight from Bali back to Singapore.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: It was on AirAsia, and thank God they had the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: meals open, so I bought myself the.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: It was very good, very
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: good,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. Yeah. Um, look, so many different meals that
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: we've had and like Joakim said, if you've had the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: pleasure of experiencing a business class flight or even first
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: class or whatever it is, right, that's a different standard altogether, lah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: They have their own menu over there. It's different, yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: But give us a call 669-11987. Doesn't matter what airline,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what class you've flown.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Have you had a really awesome meal on board before
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and what was it?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Let us know. 66911987.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: And even though we don't have a flight for you,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we do have a wonderful meal for you with $150. Yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: like a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: short staycation but still in Singapore at Sentosa.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Greenwood Fish Market, a very nice dining experience. Then maybe
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you can go book a hotel there and stay over
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: there for a while.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: OK, the topic of um food that you have had
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: on board.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: OK, going to WhatsApp right now, 90050987, saying good morning
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to Benjamin. Benjamin says, hey guys, best in-flight meal I've ever.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I had was on Turkish Airlines. Oh
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: wow, I've never flown Turkish Air.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: They
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: serve this amazing grilled lamb with rice, mezzo on the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: side and warm bread. It felt like a proper Turkish
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: restaurant in the sky,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: like a Mediterranean
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: feast.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit. Oh, wouldn't mind some kebabs and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: shawarma right now.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: My
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: stomach just growled hungry.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Zach as well. All Nippon Airways, ANA, the food was amazing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Had fried chicken on a recent flight. Perth, Australia to Tokyo.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: My only experience of first class was taken when I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: was around 10 years old. We got upgraded due to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: delays and a missed connection. I passed out before we
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: even left the gate and woke up at the destination.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, actually, honestly, I feel like it's really wasted. Like, on, so,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: so here's the thing, on occasion, if Joakim and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: have the privilege of, you know, say, trying something out
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: like a business class flight or something, right? I think
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: after my first experience, which was a work-related one, I
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: thought to myself, if I ever get to fly business
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: or anything else of its equivalent.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: On any airlines at all. I hope that it's at
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: least a very long flight because I want to experience it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Like I don't want to just go there and pass out,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you know. You have to experience the whole thing. OK,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: but as a 10 year old kid, you won't know
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: any better. Yeah, you won't know. Can you imagine for
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the parents to.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine one day they actually serve like McDonald's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: or KFC on board a flight.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I, I think it will sell, you know. I think
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: it will
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: be very popular.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: OK, I disagree. I mean, I, I, I think it
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: will be very popular, yes, but I feel like we
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: should support our local restaurants, for sure, yeah. Yeah. So
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I think if the airlines attached to like, you know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Singapore Airlines or whichever airlines, they will want to support
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: their own home country's food,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: right? In that case,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Philippine Airlines, Jolly, come on.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I will, I'm down for that for sure. There you go.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Keep calling us 66911.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: 987. What was the best in-flight meal that you've enjoyed?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Let us know and you could walk away with an
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: experience that takes you to quayside aisle. So far,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: one vote for Nippon Airways and one vote for Turkish
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Airlines. And I'm sure that if you were on a
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: business class or first-class flight, you will want to slow
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: it down and enjoy like full, I don't know, at
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: least 12 hours of the flight for sure
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: or maybe even in economy. OK. If you want to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: just lay back and relax and if your legs are OK.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Actually, I'm OK because I'm.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Quite small, but, um, sometimes for, for, for my partner germs,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: he struggles a little bit because he's he's got
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: longer legs. I know exactly how germs. So he's like,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, you OK? I'm like, yeah, actually I'm fine in
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: this seat. Anyway, we're talking about what was the best
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: in-flight meal that you've experienced.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Got one text coming in from anonymous ground staff. Hey guys,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: if you're flying to Koh Samui, please try Bangkok Airways.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Their part Thai and basil chicken tip top.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Their apple and orange juice is also nice, different from
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: what we have here. And for juices, you should try
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Finnair's blueberry juice. It's so good and the drink is
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: viral on social media, but we can't get it in Singapore. Really?
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I like is the, the chocolate
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: muffin on Singapore Airlines.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I know it's, it's very random, but I love it.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I love it so much. I have to have it
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: every time I go on. Alright,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: so we got ANA, Turkish Airlines, Bangkok Airways, and Finnair.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Gonna go back to WhatsApp 0050987. I was waiting for
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: this to come out. Qatar Airways. I had this brace.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: The beef with mashed potatoes and a really rich sauce
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: plus a proper dessert after. It feels like a restaurant
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: level plating and taste.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Nice. Was this on economy or business? Curious. Good. Sounds
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: like it could be. But the fact that this person,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: it could be, um.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Don't let the presentation deceive you though. Sometimes I've had
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: some really great meals on economy as well, so really,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: really good. Uh, we're talking about the best meal you've
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: had on board, um, all inspired by a bit of
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: a debate going on right now, you know, with the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: whole Singapore Airlines and the halal meal situation, but there's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of conversation going on. Go, go keep yourself
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: updated if you want to.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Efforts have weighed in and it's quite sensitive. So we're
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: not even gonna touch it on air, just in
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: case.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it did make us think about the kind
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of meals that we've been offered on air as well, right?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, on board as well. Yeah. So we're gonna
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: head to Four lines in just a bit. Any other
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: messages you want to read out
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: first? We do have a text coming in from Miss Tay.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: That's her name.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Morning Sonia and Joakim. A few years ago we flew
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong for a holiday. I chose
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the curry chicken rice. It was served hot. The curry
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: was creamy, and the chicken was so tender. It was
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: so good that my friend actually asked for a second serving.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: They even gave us ice cream cups
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: too.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I love that. They had a second serving. I mean,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: sometimes if it's very popular, they might run out of
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: that
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: meals and
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: they don't want to waste food.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true. One more coming in from Yun, and this
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: one I agree. I'm very happy someone said this. Hi,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Jokim. My favorite food on board, Korean Airlines.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Oh
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: bibimbap.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think I've tried that before actually. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: only flew Korean Air once and uh it was very legit,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: like the way that they mix it up and everything.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: It was like,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: wow. Gotta say I enjoyed the exterior of Korean Airlines.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: The light blue is quite nice to look at.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Soothing, very soothing. OK, Chu is on the line right now.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: What about you? OK, this was on business class flight
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: to Japan, and they've got this meal curated by this, uh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Michelin three-star restaurant chef. Wow, wait, wait, which airline was
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: this first? It has to be Singapore Airlines. Oh, OK, OK.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. Tell us more about this meal. So it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: like a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Thai meal with
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: many.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Little intricate items, right? You can see that they're putting
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: so much effort into each and every one of the items.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. It was so good until I had
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to put myself on the real restaurant in Kyoto and
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: it blew me away. And the quality that was served
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: on board Singapore Airlines, it matches closely the ones that
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: were served in the restaurant itself.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So for me, 3 stars,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: no doubt about
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Sure, only because you said 3-star Michelin chef, right? Did
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you have to pay extra for this, or is it
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: part of your flight ticket already?
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: It should be part of it, right? It should be something.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they have like special collaborations and actually I think
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: what happened with you, like, you know, the fact that
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: you went and booked a meal in the actual restaurant,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: that's probably the goal of the entire experience, right, with
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the collaboration, all that.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: They, they have to meet a certain standard. If not,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: the Japanese chef's name is at stake as well. Exactly, exactly, exactly.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: You know what, I would definitely want to take a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: flight on the destinations to experience this again. I have
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: a I have a question for you, um, with the
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: fact that you have such great taste in food, did
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you pair it with any like, did they offer some
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: sake or did you pair it with white wine or champagne?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: or any ritz or anything. You just hit the spot.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: They had sake as well.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: was
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: really
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: good. Did you tell the chef, I enjoyed the onboard
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: meal so much that I'm here to try the actual food?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: man
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: himself,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: but I would have done the same thing that you
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: have just described. OK. Thank you so much, man. Like
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I guess we need to have some Japanese food soon.

• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I've
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: flown Emirates before with my family, but I don't know why.

• 29:43
  Speaker 2: texted me yesterday saying, girl, don't spend too much money
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: on Mother's Day, OK? I'm not sure whether that's a
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: trick question.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: That shit question,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Joakim. I mean.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, does she mean it?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking we are almost, oh my goodness,

• 30:01
  Speaker 2: weeks away from Mother's Day and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: also something else,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: which is your wedding. Oh hello.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, I was talking about Mother's Day lah. I
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: got confused.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: No wonder your mom said don't spend so much money
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: this year a bit a bit the budget here?
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm actually trying to keep things, um,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: as low as possible for the wedding. But anyway, we digress.

  Speaker 1: I cannot believe you almost forgot. Stop it. Anyway, what

• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Hello Gary.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: How is your Labor Day going for you, buddy? What
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: are you up to?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Uh, this morning I just woke up and make some breakfast.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: And are you currently working or schooling? Um, I'm just
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: going to start my new job, uh, this coming Monday. Oh,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: congrats.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, all the best for that. Hope it goes well.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: On that note, I'm sure that you want to pamper
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: and reward your mom as well. Tell us a bit
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: about your mother. So I think to me, I've always
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: seen my mom as my superman, not just because she's
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: always there to protect me, but also I feel like
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: she has X-ray vision. She doesn't just like see through
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: like walls, but I think she actually like sees through
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: my heart. So she like, she like sees past my
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: brave face, past my silence, past the words.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Like, you know, I'm fine, and she notices the hurt
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: that I try to hide sometimes, the dreams that, you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I don't dare to say out loud, and the strength
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: that I do not always know I have. So even
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: like trying to find a job was really not easy,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: but she was always there at every point to like
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: really support me and just to cheer me on, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I'm really grateful for that. That really is a superpower,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: What can I say? But for you, the phrase mother
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: knows best, it really applies. Well done to you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: To enjoy this, maybe with your mom if you're bringing
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: her along or if you want to gift it to
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: her to decide who she wants to bring for the staycation,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: that's fine as well, but she really sounds like a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: fantastic woman and we're sending her all our love, OK? Yes,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: thank you so much. Congratulations. Here's what she's walking away
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: with once more. So Gary,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: tell your mom you've won her a very nice vacation
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: in a deluxe room at Momentous Hotel Alexandra. Lovely dining.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Experience at Park Royal Collection Pickerings Lime Restaurant and a
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: very nice bouquet of flowers. Actually, you know what, don't
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: tell her. You surprise her with it. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: There we go. Yeah, don't forget to tag us in
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: your pictures, OK? Have a good
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: one.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: You know, as it stands, Michael Jackson or Michael the movie, it's, uh,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the biggest box office opening for now. Congratulations. I think
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: critics and fans are very split about reviewing the.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Movie. To be honest, I've seen quite a lot of
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: positive comments from the fans, because I think they just
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: treated it as like, wow, it's a nice watch, you know.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Can I give
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you a constructive, like final feedback, final opinion from Joakim
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Gomez as a gift from yours truly. It's a feel-good movie.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: It is. Don't go in there expecting the struggles of
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. No. Go in there and expect to just
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: feel good watching Jaafar Jackson, almost in a way pay
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: tribute to Michael.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Jackson by performing and doing whatever he did.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: And I feel like no, no matter what the opinions are,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Jaafar has done a fantastic job portraying him, and we
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: don't want to like take his thunder or steal his thunder,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I think it's a great
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: moment that he should still celebrate. He's come so far.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: When
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: we come back, if you're on social media, you might
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: be very confused as to what does a footballing team
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: has to do with Michael Jackson.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: They trained to his music.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Actually, I mean,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: right? I'm
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: pretty
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: sure some clubs do motivational or
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: something,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: but, but this could not have happened at a better
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: time for this particular footballing team.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Why do I feel like I might laugh or like
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: a joke is incoming?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be the guy involved. OK, that's what
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: gonna say.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Dawn Tolliver on 987, Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Sonny and Jo came here with you this morning.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: So earlier I mentioned about how there's a football team
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of being memed on social media right now, but,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: but people are a little bit confused as to why
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: is it being memed. So here we go. There's an
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: English Premier League team by the name of Burnley.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Burnley. Yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: yeah, and they take on leads, I think 3 a.m.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: later on tomorrow morning.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for them, they sacked the current manager and now
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: there's an interim manager coming in to take care of
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the team at least until the end of the season.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately for the interim manager, it's, it's a case of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: what's in the name, right? The manager's name is Michael Jackson.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: So footballing meme sites worldwide are photoshopping Michael Jackson.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Oh no, he, he jokes are gonna come out. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: then
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: people are doing, oh, the next time in training, they're
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: all leaning in the in the smooth criminal video. They're
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: all moonwalking. Oh my God. It's hilarious. So I, I
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: wonder what's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: The mental game now for the actual Michael Jackson, who's
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: going to coach Burnley up to the end of the season.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Hey man, look, this could be a good distraction technique also.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Let everyone laugh at us. Let them
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: laugh. But talk about timing. The movie is now playing.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, and
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: now there you go. Exactly. How does he look like?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I'm so curious.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Well, he does not look anything like the real MJ thankfully, actually.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: He's
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: also the real MJ.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: His name is
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Michael, I mean the original MJ. He's also the original.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: How old is he? How old is he?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: How
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: old, how old is he?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: He looks like in his early Michael Jackson Burnley age. OK,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: here we go. He is 52
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: years old. OK, so how old would Michael Jackson singer
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: if he was still alive today?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, 1958 he would be.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: 68
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: He's the original Michael Jackson. He was born first.
