  Speaker 1: Things just got upgraded. It's the shock
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: circuit with
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Sonia and Joakim 987. I'm officially back. Yes, actually in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the month of October. I'm very nasal. I am still
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: not feeling the best. It's been super up and down,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: but um, it's all good. I, you know, I woke
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: up instinctively before my alarm even rang and I actually
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: felt restless while I was on, on MC, which is weird, right?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I know. I really don't know why. It's like the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Capricorn in me just cannot.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Rest. And I feel like when I fall sick, it it's,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it's my body kind of telling me or forcing me
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to rest, and I have no choice but to do that,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: but I get so bored, and then I start thinking
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: about like the things that I got to do at
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: work and stuff. So yeah, I don't know if you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: can relate.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Or maybe you welcome the fact that once in a
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: while you will fall sick, you know. 1st of October,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: what's the plan this month?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome. Welcome to the 10th month of the year and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: very soon it's gonna be 2027.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It is crazy. Like I just saw a meme that
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: day um that said, uh, 3 more months left to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the end of, wait, is it 3 more months? I mean,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: if you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: think about it, October, November, December. OK,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: 3 more months left to 2027. What have I done
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this year?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And this guy is just like,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: good time for us to sit and reflect on the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: year that's gone by so far. But speaking of look
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and all that, was scrolling through Insta stories yesterday. Whoa,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I saw your medicinal cocktail.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Actually, it's so funny, you know, like after I posted that,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: there were a few of um my followers and listeners
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that replied and said, Hey, I got that one also.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, hey, join the club. They're like, yes,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: very exclusive sinus club.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You look like a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: pharmacy. Actually, it's my, you know, my house is a pharmacy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Even when I travel, even when I travel, I am
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a pharmacy. Like I bring a Ziploc bag full of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: like standby medication and honestly, it has always helped. You
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: know why? Why? Um, on the times that we travel
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for like work, let's say, right, and most of the crew,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: they're usually guys, um, let me tell you, most dudes
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: don't bring anything past like Panadol. They hardly bring anything else, OK?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And I know you're gonna defend yourself and say I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: got what I got. Yes,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: yes,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: actually a lot, um, but I'm sure your mom also
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: makes you no,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: no, no, no, I'll bring Panadol, charcoal pills, and I'll
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: also bring um motion sickness pills, and tiger balm salon
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: patch or the rubs.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: OK, so let me tell you this, is way more extensive.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You're kidding. It's a whole pharmacy. I'll bring like anti-sore throat, anti-inflammatory, um,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and also like antibiotics just in case, yeah, whatever.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So then, um, on many occasions, the the crew members
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: need to tap on my pharmacy bag when we were traveling, OK?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And the number one person that has to do that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: is Jeremy, my very own husband. He literally went on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a honeymoon carrying nothing,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: OK. You can't spell Watsons without.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. We are literally hours away from
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: his concert here in Singapore.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I was just running past the National Stadium yesterday, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I think the merch booths were being set up already.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I can't really see what was in there because I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: think the container side was facing me and the open
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: side was facing towards Kallang River, but I could see
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the crew pacing the weekend vinyl stickers.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: believe today there might be like a media preview or
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: something of the merch.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be available in Singapore. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: if you are also a VIP ticket holder, yes, so
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think if you're in the gold, silver package, or
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: maybe even the platinum package, uh, read the advisory put
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: up by our friends over at the Kallang on their
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Instagram page so you know what time to go and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: when you can shop
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: merch. Oh, nice. OK, well, I'm gonna be there, we
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: are gonna be there tomorrow. Yeah, actually, both of us,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna be so much fun. I have never
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: caught the Weekend in concert. This is my first time.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I have. Oh, when?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: 20 2018 or
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: 2019 I didn't, I didn't.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He's very
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: good. But that's the thing. So since 2018, now it's 2026, right? Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: He has since produced so much since then and I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: think he, he might have changed his stage, uh, his
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: staging and his style as well.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it was in 2018 December 5th.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And it was just a simple musicians and he was
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with the indoor stadium stadium.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Now if you watch all his videos on YouTube, it's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a very elaborate lineup of people, the staging, the lights,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the song, the music, the context, and I really wonder
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: who will hand the mic to when he sings out
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of time. Oh
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: man,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. Let's see, let's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: see. To my bros and sisters around the region, if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the weekend hands you the mic, make sure you sing
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: well. I'm gonna, I'm gonna sing well, I promise.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: OK, OK. Say I love you, but I'm
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Do what again?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Say I love you, but I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: out of time.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Seeing a lot of um posts about celebrating the end
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of exam season already.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Like people are just excited to have more relaxed days
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: at school.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: To our primary 6 students, we say congratulations. You've made it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether you supposed to go to school today.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: If you're not supposed to, you can just enjoy staying
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: at home and resting. Well done. It's over. It's over.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: PSLE
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is over.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: So I think both you and I, and well, me especially,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I follow a lot of like the secondary school girls,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: like for example, I've visited their schools or whatever, especially
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: my own schools, Anthony's, right? So I follow a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And uh some of them actually posting about uh stories
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: or posts about their siblings completing PSLE and it's almost
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like um an elder sibling, welcome to the other side
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: or like you've graduated to the other side kind of thing,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think for you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You go to secondary school and then when you go
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to upper secondary, especially for the boys, you go from
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wearing shorts to long pants.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You feel like, whoa,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm an adult.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Actually for the girls, we don't have any change in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: our uniform, like at all. Um from from lower to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: upper side, you don't, unless you're a student leader, then
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you get to change like your tie or something. Yeah. Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: but fun fact, my tie, I don't know whether it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: like
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: The same right now, but the normal tie back then
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: in secondary school was actually not a real tie. It's
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: a clip-on. So it makes it super easy for you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to just clip it on and go to school, right?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But if you're a student leader or like a prefect,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: then it's an actual tie. So I wonder if they've
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: changed it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. embarrassing, OK. You don't know. There was
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a year I served as a student counselor at my school. Really? Yeah, yes, he, hello.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You sound very surprised.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Why surprised, shocked.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Because you always tell us about what kind of student
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you were back
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: then.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The teacher made me counselor to say, OK, you know
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna give you responsibility. Let's see if it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: changes you. It did. I actually got out of trouble
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: for a while, but then I got, I mean, I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: don't use the word sacked, but I was taken off
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the roster because I retained in sector 3.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, OK,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: OK, not a good example, but we like how you
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: lead the school and you're a student leader. But yes,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: tying the tie thing.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I had to always go to this uh vice president.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Hello Wei Chin.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Are you all still friends? Do you still keep in touch?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes. So she would always help me
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: tie the tie, and she was the best tie tire
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in school because the knot was very
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: neat.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't an excuse just to talk to girls.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: she had a very nice boyfriend back then.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK, I see.op
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it lah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Give us a call or drop us a message 900-50987. Yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Now that you know, exam season is done and dusted,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: what would you like to say to your classmates or
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: your friends out there? Maybe you want to dedicate a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: song or maybe you want to just say something on air.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Or if you are still going through the exams at
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: any level, let us know how it's going for you

• 10:04
  Speaker 2: 87, Singapore's number one hit music station. Sonny and Joakim
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: here with you. If I'm not wrong, he appeared with
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: his dad, Will Ferrell, with uh Jimmy Fallon actually.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Of course,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: they, they did quite a funny skit together. It's quite cute.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: One
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of the epitome when it comes to late night talk
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: show hosts and the show to be on, Jimmy Fallon.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Magnus
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Ferrell is quite handsome, man. I never noticed that actually.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Just followed him.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Anyway, because you know, you always see Will Ferrell is
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: a funny guy, right? Like you never really associate Will
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Ferrell as like, oh, handsome dude from Hollywood. Like he
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: never portrayed himself that way.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Well, Will Ferrell could be handsome to a few people.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: No, I think, I think he is when he was younger, especially.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: wrong. Exactly. Anyway, um, coming up right now, we've got
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a special shout out for one of our listeners.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Shamine actually texted us over on our WhatsApp
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: number saying, hey guys, happy first day of October. It's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: my birthday today.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Keep going.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, happy
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: birthday to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Shermaine. Happy birthday to you. Anyway, like I mentioned earlier,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: do not wish this upon anyone, but then again, this
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: could have happened to any of our relatives or our
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: our parents or elderly people around us, OK? So like
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, when it comes to things like
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: jade or crystals and all that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It sometimes it is quite religious. At the same time,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: people have their own beliefs, right? And I know through
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the saga of like life selling nowadays, there have been
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of debate over whether we can prove that
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: these crystals are even worth X amount, like 8000 or
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: whatever.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Remember a long time ago, one of my friends was
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: sharing with me about how
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for a feng shui reading and the feng shui reading
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: service isn't too expensive. It is the things that they
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: sell you sell you, oh, to increase water flow in
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: your home, you need this very special crystal bowl. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So apparently the feng shui guy was going to sell
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: it to her for 200 $2000 OK.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: For some reason she was able to haggle it down
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to $500.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: No lah. That just goes to show what it's actually worth. Again, I,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I, I don't want to question anyone's beliefs. You might
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: believe in feng shui and all these kind of crystal
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and jades and all that.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: To
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: be honest, there are actually, um, crystal and jade retailers
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and stores that are very legit.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: The ones that come with the certification, you know, they
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: invite you, yeah, you can check it out anytime. Like
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: we have nothing to hide. However, this elderly couple that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: took a tour, it was part of like, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: those tour group kind of thing with a lot of
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: other maybe retired people as well. They just want to go, um,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: see see, you know, other countries, right? So they went
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to Guizhou, which is a six-day, five-night tour, OK, it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: fully guided.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: The group consisted of about like 20 people, majority of
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: them are elderly. And you know, I know it can
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: be quite enjoyable for them, but with these tours, one
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: of the things that they would do is they will
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: always stop at different shops, if you noticed, right, is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to drive up sales or they will go and book
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the same restaurants and things like that to support their
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: own
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: businesses.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: especially if people end up buying, right?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So, um, this, uh, this, this lady came up to
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: say about how her parents spent over 7000 Singapore dollars
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: on this particular black jade Buddha pendant in China, OK?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: And it was supposedly very rare, very good quality. It's worth,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: they paid over $7000 for it. So you know that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: they believe in it, you know, because this is not
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: just religious, but also the material, right? They're like, oh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: black jade is very rare.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Um, for some reason, their daughter felt a bit sussed
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: And uh when she came back, she actually got it
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: tested and found out that it was worth less than
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: $100 less than $100 but somehow they managed to inflate
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: it and sell it to these people. I don't know
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: whether they also prey on the elderly or they see like, oh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: these people are retired, they've got some money to spend,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you know, oh, they're Buddhists, they believe in certain things.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: OK, I'm gonna say I'm not too familiar with the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Hindu and Muslim religion on the kind of holy ornaments
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: or materials you might use.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: But for Christians and Catholics, I was in Italy two
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: years ago, right? And you know when you go to Rome,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the Vatican, like if you are really into the faith, you,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you will feel special. So I think my mom was
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: so excited. She really felt this spiritual awakening. So I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: had to be the one that Mommy, careful, don't go
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and just buy any random thing
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: because that's why people pray on you.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You would think the Vatican is there, nobody would dare
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: mess around. No, all the shops outside the Vatican are
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: these people.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, you know, ma'am, this rosary or this ring
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or this is very special and you realize it's a
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: scam or a tourist
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: trap.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, despite it being places of worship,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and you know, um, people genuinely going there for like
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: their own pilgrimage or whatever, like there are going to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: be bad people out there who target you because you
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: are such a faith loving person, you know, and they
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: know that it's in those moments where you feel extra
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: vulnerable because
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Like you said, spiritual awakening and all that, right? You
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: might be susceptible to just buying anything.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So please be careful and for the Vatican, the official Vatican.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So go in there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: But anyway, to update you about this particular case, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: think they've turned to STB for some help to find
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: out what they can do, and they're awaiting to see
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: if they can get a refund on that because since
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: it was a place that presumably is related to the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: tour group, they might still be able to sort something out. Yeah.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I think
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a refund might be tough.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Actually, I don't know
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what they might be able to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: if STB is involved, hopefully, you know, their authority stands
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: for something hopefully
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for a conclusion.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I have faith. I have faith. Not, not enough to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: buy those things don't go and buy.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: OK, so, um, I don't feel so alone anymore. A
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: video that I posted just yesterday shows me that, um,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and the response rather shows me that plenty of people
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: feel the same way. Come, let me go and you
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: have this section person in your life for sure, OK.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Before you go get the comments, can I give you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: the context first? Come, give it to me. As you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: sometimes we will share like funny videos or rather, OK,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: please don't look at the chat that Joakim and I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: have because it's um very cancelable, but
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: The stuff that we share with each other.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, if the real is there, I find it funny,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I share to you in private, you
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: mess up my algorithm and it's your fault. It's your fault,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: but at least you reply, OK, so.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So, um, for, for Jeremy, my own partner in life,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I think
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I know where this is going.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I, I will send him like random videos all the time. OK.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: He doesn't like doom scrolling on TikTok, so I send
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: him reels on Instagram, OK.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: He never replies. And can I, can I just show you,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: can I ask, wait, wait, wait, wait, in defense,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: why do I feel like you want to cite him?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: feel like I understand him as well. In defense, Your Honor,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: can I ask, OK, the accuser, what time do you
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: send him these reels?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Any time of the day.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem, man is working.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I'm also working.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Man is
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: working, hold on, hold on,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: punching numbers and taking meetings with people. Hey,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: also taking meetings with people just because, you know, I,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sometimes chronically online.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And maybe he just doesn't have the habit of being
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: chronically online. Wait,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: can I ask, OK, as a married couple, do you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: not like, you know, and you're like scrolling your phone? OK,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: so my
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, hear me out, can or not? Whose friend are
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you once again?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Again, I'm your friend, but I will not lie to you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: But you're supposed to be on my side.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I'm on your side.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Can I show you first? I'm not gonna
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: lie to you. OK, fine.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Look, look at all these videos. OK. I sent him
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: so much. He only replies to like one or two,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and then he just ignores me for
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the rest of the time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: This reminds you of the girl I dated back in 2022.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Send her 10 messages, only 1 reply
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: messages, that's text messages, is it? I know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I know of friends who are terrible at replying as well.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Like they're just very bad at it. I know that
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: we're still friends to do. OK, that's the thing, we
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: all have stuff to do. We all have things to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: do and honestly, right, like some of my friends look
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: at our schedule and they, they honestly think that we're
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: some of the busiest people that they know. OK. The
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: reason is, is not because one job is more important
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: than the other or whatever.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: But the reason is because our schedule can be very unpredictable,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and it can be like literally 12 hours to 16
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: hours like a day sometimes, or we don't even have
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: a weekend. But sometimes when I just want to unwind,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just like scrolling a little bit. I laugh at
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: some videos, then I send lah because I want to
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: share the laughter. So I want him to laugh with me,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: but he's not laughing with me.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Putting myself in Jeremy's shoes and becoming a different person, right?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine Jerry receiving your memes, OK.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And he goes, What am I supposed to say? Ah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: back to work.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: No, maybe he laughs to himself, then he just acknowledged
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: in his head, then he moves on, but he doesn't
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: reply me. Maybe that's, that's the case. But sometimes I'll
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: him like at the end of the day. I'll be like,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: So what did I send you today? And he has
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: no idea.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I haven't watched it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so why not change your approach? Why don't you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: watch it? So why don't you save the reels and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: then at night before you sleep to force a
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: reaction is it?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Why not just watch it with him, I saw this today.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: OK, but here's the thing, when we are winding down, right?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I kind of have a rule. Yeah, like I kind
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: of have a rule because I'm on my phone and
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: my devices so much for work that at the end
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of the day, I'm like, OK, no phones. Like we
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: just chat and catch up about our day.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Your Honor, I've run out of. I don't know how
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to help you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Never mind, I'm not looking for a solution. I think
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I've kind of accepted it already. It's fine, whatever. It's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: his loss. He didn't laugh at the video,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: so whatever. So I wanna look at your video right
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: now that you posted about complaining about this situation yesterday.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I want to say hello to Mama Chew. Mama Chew
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: says he must be too busy.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's also not on my side.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Uh, our good friend Kimberly Chan, all are all husbands
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I feel seen. Actually, a lot of people are agreeing, OK,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I don't feel so alone anymore.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: And then people are saying, Hey, that's my husband, Amen, sister,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: and some people say.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: like I'm that person, like who doesn't reply. So, we're
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: gonna open up phone lines right now, 669-11987 or drop
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: us a message 90050987. Do you have this person in
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: your life? The person that just doesn't reply?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Either doesn't respond to the videos that you send them
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: or just is a terrible texter.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So this kind of proves that there is a reels
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and videos. I think we have to include that right
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: now.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And to my men, the bar is very low, reply.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You'll make her day,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you see, the thing is, I don't, I think that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: for us because of our industry, we are chronically online,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: but maybe for people who are not in our industry,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter what you are, I know Gen
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Zs who are terrible at replying.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Before we go to the music break, right, can I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: just share something with you? Yeah, like what you said?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: We are chronically online, right? And sometimes I have friends
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: who send me a meme that I've already seen. Then
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I just say, Hey, yeah, I've seen this. Ah, you boring, lah, joking.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Everything also see the reaction.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Just
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: laugh. I don't want to lie to them. You're not
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: lying. You're just excluding information.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: You're not lying. You still laughed at it anyway.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I will use this phrase for the rest of my life. Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: self-preservation.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I'm teaching you the ways of life right now.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Excluded.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: OK. Give us a call 669-11987. We'd love to hear
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: from you or drop us a message. Do you know
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: someone around you that is just terrible at responding, be
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: it to text messages or to the videos or the
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: posts that you send them on social media. Please let
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: us know if you are that person, please tell us.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: as well. We would love to hear. Thanks so much
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: for joining us. So we're just crashing out over this
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: right now because I said that I find it very
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: challenging sometimes when, you know, I have friends around me
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: or even my own partner in life, who doesn't really
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: reply or respond to the stuff that I sent over.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Case in point, I'm talking about all the times that
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I sent videos to him.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: That I, I think is relevant to him or I
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: find funny, or like, you know, it might remind me
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of us kind of thing. And he, I can count
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: with one hand, the amount of times he's replied to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: me this year
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: because the man is locked in.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I'm also locked in.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I'm also locked in,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: locked in making major financial decisions for Singapore.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: I'm making life decisions, you know, entertainment related decisions.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: OK, can, can, can.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's important too.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: It is, yes, it is, but I mean.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, for both of us, we are on our phones.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe for him when he logs in, OK, I don't
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: know him as well as you do. When he logs in,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: maybe his phone is one side, he's really like typing
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: meetings and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That that was my that was my number one excuse, right?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Like explanation. But then when it comes down to anything
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that is sports related or wellness related, suddenly he's, he
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: can send me.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Then I'm like, OK, so what about the 20 videos
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I sent you before this?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: OK, so you try different content. You send him videos
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: about
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: paddle. Yeah, he will definitely reply, but anything else he
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: won't reply. Ah,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: so you must know what to tickle his fancy already.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't find that entertaining.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but does he find your videos entertaining?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: He has to. He has no choice.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Well,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: this is, we said some vows earlier on this year.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: He has no choice. He finds me funny.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Sorry choked me up for a bit. OK, wow. Whoa,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: do I want to get married? I don't know, man. Anyway,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: moving on to WhatsApp right now. I want to say
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: good morning to Liz. Liz says, morning, Sojo. I don't know, man.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I think I'm the one that's terrible at replying or
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: even read messages because she sends me a screen grab
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: of her WhatsApp, right? There are 66 unread messages on
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: her WhatsApp.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And she goes, this is why me and my husband,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: we always use a different app called Between, so we
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: know we need to respond to each other. Oh, OK,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: fair enough,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: fair enough. OK, so, um, unfortunately, I also received a
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: text from my dad. He said, you also sometimes don't
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: reply us.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry. Hello. No, I know, I know because sometimes if
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: it's not like an immediate, uh, something that requires my
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: immediate attention and if I'm busy, then I will reply later.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: That is Jeremy's state of mind. This is the pot
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: calling kettle black.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: OK, hold on. I'm not, I'm neither the pot nor
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the kettle. Um, OK, but I have 622 unread messages.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: You're the entire store, OK.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: OK, never mind, moving on.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: It's the time for self-reflection or what? Yes, OK. Any
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: more messages before we get to our calls? Hi,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim, please keep me anonymous. Ignoring texts and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: reels happens to be my pet peeve. Oh, my partner
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and I exchange reels throughout the day. Whenever he ignores
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: my reels and sends me others, I'll reply to my
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: own reels with, so that's, so that he, uh, with a,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: with a, you know, the, the.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: The up arrow,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you missed it in case you missed it so
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that he will see them. Same for text. I told
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: him that's a second warning to watch them before I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: get very unhappy. He's getting it now. Funny that I
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: can accept my girlfriends who ignore my rules, but not
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: for my partner. I should learn from Sonya to accept
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that men are like
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Who says I've accepted it? I'm still trying to change him.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: But look, I mean, look, like with the amount of
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: people that are just laughing at it, I think his
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: friends are just being so entertained, like watching him get
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: called out on, on in my video. He might have
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: to start responding to me more often now. Just saying.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I can imagine him, right? Hey, by the way, I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: saw your wife's video about you very funny.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: OK, can I just say I have a little update here.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Ever since I uploaded the video last night calling germs
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: out for not replying my posts and my stories and
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: all that, right?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'll give him some credit. He comments on a lot
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: of my posts. Yeah. Yeah, he is very supportive, but
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: he doesn't watch the reels or the videos that I
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: sent him.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, can you compromise? OK,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: so anyway, here's what happened. So I actually, you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: so-called called him out yesterday, right, in a joking manner,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: of course. This morning, suddenly you replied, see, you can
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: change a man.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I give it 2
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: weeks.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: So optimistic. I was gonna say 2 days, but OK.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: We're going back to our messages and your stories right
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: now and your calls as well. The question is, do
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you know someone around you that is just terrible at
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: replying anything?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Want to say good morning to KN on WhatsApp. Morning, Sonia.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I feel you. I really get a response from my
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: daughter who's turning 18 this year. Oh no. There used
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to be blue ticks on the messages and reels, so
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I could tell she'd seen them. After my consistent feedback,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: she's now cleverly chosen to turn off her red receipts.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Oh no.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So I can't tell whether she's read them, and of
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: course I can't fault her for the late responses anymore.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Wow, OK. But hey, you, you caught that. You noticed that,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: yeah. One coming in from Derek. Hey, Sojo, I'm one
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of those who will never read or see stuff because
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of my workload in the office and the number of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: texts that is coming in for work. Whenever my wife
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: texts me, if I'm free, I will take a look
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and comment. However, some days when I'm busy, I don't
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: see my phone at all, and then I'll miss it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: So later on in the evening when I come along
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: some funny news or videos which happen to be quite
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: similar as the one she will send me, I will
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: tell her about it. Then she will reply saying, I
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: send you what I see I knew it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I can relate. I can relate. Yeah. No, OK. In
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: regards to the chat one, I understand because sometimes my
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: friend chat groups can like pop off like randomly in
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the middle of the day. Suddenly there's like 80 messages
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: that I didn't read and I just can't scroll back
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: to read it. That's, that's the time where sometimes I'm like, guys,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: can someone just, uh, you know, TLDR this? Yeah, tell
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: me what's the summary. Like I can't read all 80 messages.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: More often than not, they'd be like, don't worry, you
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: didn't miss anything.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: We got Kelvin on the line right now. Kelvin, who
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: is that person in your life that's just terrible at replying? Myself.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: He's so self-aware.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: So
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Take us through it, explain to us why do
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you reply. Sometimes I think if the text or the
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: video is
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: too
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: lengthy, I will just send a thumbs up, but actually
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't read it or watch it. Hey, hey, I
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: take offense to that. No, but at least I, I acknowledge, right? OK,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: at least you acknowledge.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: But he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: excluded.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: OK, I knew this would come back and bite me. OK,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: but see, if I send you 10 videos in a day,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: that's 10 times that I thought about you, you know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: and you couldn't even take 1 minute to watch the video.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I would think that
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: sending an emoji is
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: good enough.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: it's a form of acknowledgement.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: From a guy's point of view, from a guy's point
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: of
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: view, OK, this one I cannot agree lah because the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: emoji shows lack of effort, but Kelvin, OK, can I ask, uh,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: what is considered too long for you, the video length?
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I never tried watching.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: This, this is more than 2 minutes.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: OK,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Kelvin, are you married or seeing anyone right now?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think she's accepted him.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, the marriage is there, vows have been said,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: so done, dusted.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Talking about the people that are just terrible at replying.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Are you OK there joking? What just happened?
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Slipped on the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: chair.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I apologize. Well that was quite
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: loud.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: He just broke the entire studio or what. I'm
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: so
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: sorry. OK, going to WhatsApp and saying good morning to Hayati.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Bit of a lengthy one. OK, Morning, Sojo. I'm kind
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: of in between on this. I'm the one who spams
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: my husband with whatever I see on TikTok or Instagram.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: My husband doesn't have.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Any social media except for Facebook. So he will typically
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: reply literally on everyone that I share, be it a
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: laughing emoticon or a comment on the videos I shared.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: My question to Sonia is, what kind of reply do
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: you actually expect? Because for me, after I get his replies,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, OK, lo, I don't know if you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: get what I mean. Like I appreciate him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Reply, but what do we actually feel after they reply?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it becomes a debate because both of us don't
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: agree on the content matters, but yeah, oh well, we
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: signed a lifetime contract. So is it you, you just
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: want to feel seen, is
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: it? Yes, yes, I just want to feel seen. Um, honestly,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: most of the stuff that I sent him are like
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: mindless things. They're not. So if they're not, they're not
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: any like.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Like topic of contention or anything debatable. No, it's really
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: like funny animal videos or like ridiculous things. OK,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: let me
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: give you three scenarios.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Case number 1, you send Jeremy a reel, he double
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: taps it and likes it. That's all.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: How? I mean, it's good enough, OK, but I'll test
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: you later if you really saw it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: 2nd, 2nd case, he double taps it and he leaves
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a comment,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: ha ha. Yeah, OK, then I'll see if the haha
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: is genuine or not.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: OK. And then the third one is maybe what you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: want like ha ha ha, wow,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: that's so funny, wow,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: thanks for this
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: darling. Oh really? I like that. OK, OK,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: so you are the 3rd case scenario. OK, got it,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: got it. Yes, Jeremy, if you're tuned in.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Just type ha ha ha, I love you. Thank you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: so much for this. You brighten up my day, lie
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: on her a bit,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: but I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: might test you at the end of the day. I'll
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: be like, OK what was the third video I sent
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you at 2 p.m. today? Ah, see if you can
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: pass the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: test or not.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I'm very sure you just say some dog la, correct.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Well done. Wow, we really had some really good laughs
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: this entire like hour or so. The question is, do
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: you know of someone around you that's terrible at replying?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: And there are some of our listeners that actually are
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: quite self-aware. They say, Oh, it's me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Want to say good morning to Faith, another self-aware person
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: as well. Morning, Sonia and Joakim. I'm the one who
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: always does not like to reply messages, or I will
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: take days to reply. My mom will say, By the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: time you reply me, I've given birth already. My sister
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: will say, by the time you reply me, next day
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: also arrive already. My colleagues will say, by the time
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you reply.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Grow old already. Have a great
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: day.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: You know, I, I actually do have a friend, uh,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: funny enough, that also doesn't really, she's notorious for not
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: really replying, but we've kind of accepted her. And um
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the funny thing is we always say like, OK, she
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: may not have acknowledged like, oh, we're meeting on this
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: date or this time. Sometimes she would just show up
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: and we'd be like, oh, hey, it's a pleasant surprise,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: like wonderful. Welcome.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: But we never know. It's like a blind box now.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Never let them know your next move.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Exactly. So it keeps us on our toes.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: We got one coming in from username Fud. Fud Fud says,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Hey Sonia and Joakim, honestly, there's no excuse to back
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: this up.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Unless you haven't read it, it's understandable. But if you
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: have read and they never reply, it means we're not
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: on the same vibe level. If after a few videos,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: still no reply, I won't be sending more videos. We'll
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: still be friends, but I will find a new sending
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: video buddy. But if it's my partner, it will be different.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I will just spend more videos till I get a
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: reaction and she will know that I would like a reply.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: So should I try reverse psychology? I stopped sending him videos.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Like one day I just stopped, yeah, see if he notices.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: He will. What do you think? He will. He will. OK, OK.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: It's like my dad and those good morning messages.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, I get that from my parents too, but to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: be fair, I reply.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so if my dad doesn't send me a good
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: morning message for more than 2 days, I'll be like,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Hey Dad, everything OK?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: But do you reply?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: No, but I,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: yeah, you see, he never replied. That's why he's texting you.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Reply him.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: He's your dad. Wait, wait,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can I, can I please?
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: show you the good morning, uh, emojis.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You show me yours, I'll show you mine. OK, OK, OK,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: let me pull it up.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: What do I say to these
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: things? Oh my God, when was the last time you
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: replied to your dad?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: call him like once every, he will send me Wednesday's blessings. Well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I get that too. Hold on, let me, let me
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: just scroll back and find one. OK. OK. I get
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: quite cute ones like good morning, good morning messages, and
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: then some like good morning messages with my dog Maxi
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: in
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: it.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Yours is very cute. Mine.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Scripture to it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: OK, no scripture.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he will give me,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: which, which I read and I and I also reply sometimes,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: but when my dad says, Hey, how are you, then
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I'll reply him all these good morning messages. No, but
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: he's he's thinking of you every morning.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's, it's not.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think so. OK, fine. Like, OK,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I have this one here. Good morning. Have a stunning day,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and it's like a picture of my dog.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: That's your mom, right?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: That's my mom. She always puts my dog's face in there. Anyway,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: we've got Veron on the line, last but not least
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: right now. Who is that person that's just terrible at replying?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I'm the opposite. So my husband sent me tons of ideas. Oh,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and you are the one that doesn't respond. Yeah, because
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to reply, you know, I will
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: reply with an emoticon, OK, a heart shape, and sometimes
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: it's so funny videos which I don't find it funny.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Then I just go through I skip.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: And like your, your pedal or video or the, the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: IG post you sent it to me. I don't know
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: what to reply.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Wait, he sent, he sent that to you. Try to
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: like tell me that, oh, OK, it's time to learn
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: something new, but OK, I don't know what to reply.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Ay, so do you, do you all often fight about
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: this or talk about this, like, hey, can you reply
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: to me more, please?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: He
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: is the one who said that. We're realizing this is
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: not gender-specific.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Veron. Have a great day, OK? OK,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: so when it comes down to winning vouchers or like
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: lucky draws and all that, I'm probably the worst person
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: because I, I don't remember the last time I won
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: anything from like a lucky draw. Whereas I feel joking,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: we have a bit more luck when it comes to
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: these things.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Did you not win something recently at a lucky draw?
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Both of us were at the event. I remember this. Hey,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: I won, I won. Was it you? Is it? Could
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: have
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: been,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: could have been. I don't think I won anything. OK,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: but what what what are these vouchers or or
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: what's the price?
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing, um, this lady, um, $1600 worth
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: of McDonald's vouchers. Oh wow. OK. Um, but this of
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: course is not, not in Singapore.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Um, she, she's a tourist from mainland China. She won
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: a McDonald's voucher worth over $1000. She was allowed to
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: use it in Hong Kong, OK. Beautiful. But she was
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: faced with a dilemma because she was leaving the next
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: day and because she's like a tourist, she doesn't exactly
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: have like 20 friends there, you know what I mean?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: She's just visiting, right?
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Um, she said she couldn't use the voucher by herself.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: The in-store gift cards were sold out. So she decided
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: to embark on a 24 hour giveaway across Hong Kong,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: and she just wanted to give back. So she decided
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: to turn her, her tour into like a blessing for everyone.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: She's like, Hey guys, I'll just treat you, you know.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: So she posted it up on Xiaohongshu, you know, the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Little Red Book, um, app.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: And she actually posted about her whole experience hosting this giveaway.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: She went across Hong Kong, she turned like her last
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: 24 hours there of her visit into like a massive giveaway,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and she said, hey, no friends, strangers, whoever, like, doesn't
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: matter who you are, if you're following in this space
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: and you're around this area, I'm giving away food and vouchers,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: so please come by. And she just did that throughout the.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: 24 hours, so cute.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: To this lady, good karma always find you. At least
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: you didn't get your vouchers go to waste and you
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: actually bless someone's day.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: And some people actually strangers, they exchange tokens for the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: free meal because they believe that we cannot just accept
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: like a free meal. So they would give her like
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: souvenirs and stuff from Hong Kong. Oh, that's nice. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: thought that was really, really cute. So.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Um, this was quite interesting because she went to Lang
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Kwai Fong to hand it out as well, and I'm
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: thinking the perfect time to go to Lang Kwai Fong
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to hand out free McDonald's would be at like 4 a.m.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Yep, no, but she didn't go at that odd time.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: But yeah, honestly though, like if I were prancing about
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Lang Kui Feng at 3 a.m., I see free McDonald's,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I'm taking it.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: What can I say about ho?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ho, ho, that's the only word you know, right?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: No, hiitia
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: pintoa. Then the rest cannot see on air. Peiin,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: where are
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: you learning this
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: from? Rush hour.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: That's why I said the rest of the phrases and
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: words can say on air.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Just announced yesterday, Tate McCray is going to be headlining
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and taking the stage for the Victoria's Secret fashion show
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: happening in less than 2 weeks.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Wow,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: yeah, less than 2 weeks.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I wonder what song she'll perform as the models walk
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: by her.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I think she's gonna do a few
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and people will be confused. Hey, is that the singer
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: or is that the Victoria's Secret model singing? Actually,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: that happened, you know, um, there's so many.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Famous, uh, big stars that have performed for Victoria's Secret, right? Like,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: for example, when I think Taylor Swift did it, she
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: looked like a model, to be honest.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is someone who can walk down the ramp
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and people will think she's an actual Victoria's Secret model.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: But
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: can
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I just say the, the year that Rihanna performed, she
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: had so much aura and so much swagger that like
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: she just literally walked up to the stage. Everyone was
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: in awe of her.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: It's just one of those moments you cannot buy aura,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: you know, she just has it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: There are two performances from the Victoria's Secret's fashion runway
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: that I'll never ever forget. Firstly, Jay-Z and Kanye West. Oh,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: that
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: was a while ago. That was
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: great. And the second one is The Weekend. Oh yes,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Whoever planned it, and then Bella Hardy had to walk
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: past him,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: that one was painful to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: watch. Yeah, the concert organizer knew what he or she
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: was doing.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna say.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, I'm sure you'll be able to catch it,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: you know, streamed on some of your favorite social media
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: platforms as well, but also I believe Cat's Eye might
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: be joining. It's, it was announced just yesterday, if I'm
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: not wrong.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Catsy's Eye, is it all of Cats Eye?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Don't ask me that.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: 3 or 4 out of 5 members.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Sensitive question, but Ty McCray is definitely one of the headliners,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: so we're excited for that.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: And to Cats Eye, if you are performing, please don't sing.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Fruity Sing Sing Nali or Gabriella. Gabriela, Gabriel
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: could be a good one for this year. Anyway, we'll
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: be keeping a close eye on it and enjoying the show. Alright,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: so the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore, they have
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: kind of listed a few companies that have bought fake reviews,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: whether through Carousel or wherever, or maybe even people that
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: they know who owns all these bought and comment.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Services, right? So, 45 of these companies have admitted to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: buying fake reviews, and if you read mainstream media, the
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: company's names are actually on the list. Yeah, so they
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: range from, you know, your nail salon parlors to consultancy
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: services to logistics, and then there was one that kind
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: of made me wonder also. OK. One involves a funeral parlor.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Oh no. I mean,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: OK, but I have to say, it can be quite
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: a competitive business, you know, because it's very profitable. But
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: if you think about it, we are a massively aging population. Um,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: anyone who has invested in any funeral or, well, knock
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: on wood, death-related businesses actually are doing very well. Can I,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: can I
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: ask,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: um, what will it take to a funeral parlor a
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: five-star
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: review?
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: How seamless the experience was, maybe, how their customer service was,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: you know, very thoughtful at the same time, could be
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: efficient to the point, but still take your, take your
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: feelings into consideration,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: you
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: won't see me posting a Google review. Oh, it was
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: well done.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I mean you might if you really appreciate. OK, I
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: think that when it comes down to these services, it's
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: very much people-centric.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I think this is more word of mouth. Yeah,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: it's never got to do with like, oh, the flowers
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: were great or they will never say that. I'm sure.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: I don't
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: know if I want to openly go and comment on
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Google online leaving my my footprint there saying, oh, I
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: use this funeral parlor service. They did a very good job.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: It was seamless and yeah.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I mean,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: sometimes, you know, in order to entice people to leave
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: a review, they usually give you something in return, you know, like, um,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: for restaurants, for example, they're like, oh, free drink if
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: you leave a review for us. Cannot be bad review, right?
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, what will the funeral parlor give you? Can
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: they bring back the dead? No, right? So I don't
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: know about
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: this
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: one. I really think it's the comments and the reviews
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: are definitely related to like, oh, you made us feel good.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: By
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the way, according to the article, there are more companies
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: that are yet to be named, and some of them
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: involves lawyers, doctors, and tuition centers. The tuition centers I
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: cannot wait to see. I'm very invested.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is so funny because I fall into a
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: category where I don't really read reviews that much. I mean,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: because I know that we have to take it with
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a pinch of salt nowadays. I will still read it,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: but don't know, sometimes you have a gut feeling that
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: some of it's not legit, you know. Yeah, see whether
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: that gut feeling is right next time.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, um, I guess this is a case that will
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: continue to unfold. OK, so not exactly any, um, groundbreaking
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: food news here today of any launches or anything at all,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: but this was actually discussed, I think about a week
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: or two ago where we said it was kind of
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: concerning that some Crystal Jade shops were closing, some Crystal
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Jade outlets were closing, right?
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, we always say like they're one of
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the longest standing chains here in Singapore, so reliable, a
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: family place as well, plenty of people go there. But
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: um an update here just for you. If you were
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: wondering what's going on with the Crystal Jade chain here
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: in Singapore, they remain open, but
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: A financial and risk advisory firm has been appointed to
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: review their financial and operational affairs. So they're being put
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: under what we call receivership right now. I'm no finance person,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: but I'm guessing they've brought a third party in to
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: help them sort out all their financial issues at this point. So,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: hopefully they stay open and they will find a way
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: You know, um, get their assets and operations in order
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: and recover their value and ensure stability of their chain
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: here in Singapore, then hopefully they don't have to close
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: more outlets. All the
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: best, Crystal, Jane. Hopefully everything gets sorted really soon.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: I know so
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: that you can keep giving us good xiaolong and maybe
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: our friends over at Tin Tai Fung and Paradise a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: run for their
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: money.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I like their dimsum actually, you know, and there
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: are 13 outlets remaining here in Singapore, so support them
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: if you can, but, um, they definitely have to get
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: something in order right now. So we'll, we'll keep you updated.
