• 1:04
  Speaker 1: against Randy Orton and Roman Reigns against CM Punk. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: only recognize Roman Reigns. Hey, but aside from that, I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: don't know any of the names. Never mind, it's it's OK. Um,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: coming up in just a little bit.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We just want to give a special shout out to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: two schools that we went to just yesterday. Back to back. Exactly. Actually,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it's quite rare that we do back to back school visits. So, um,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a big shout out to them coming up in just
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a bit, but not forgetting, you will get to do
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: your own shout out too just before 7 a.m. Just
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: wanted to give a very special shout out to two schools.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: One is a secondary school and one is a tertiary institute.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Singapore Poly, thank you for having us and also MGS. Yay.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Just in case Singapore Poly.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Tertiary Institute and MGS is the secondary school. Obviously, why
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: would anyone confused? Why would MGS be a tertiary institute?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Singapore Polysecondary. I don't think anyone was thinking that, Joe, but,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but there's a neon secondary and a Neon Polytechnic. Yes.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Are they linked? Do you know? I don't think so.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure, but maybe they just like, are
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: they linked to Nan City? I mean, I don't think so, right?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It could be the same it's the same person, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think, I don't know if the developer anyway.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: That is such an irrelevant question.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Um, thank you so much to the students for having us.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Like we had so much fun, to be honest. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we had fun sharing with you about the basic presenting
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: as well as MGS and Singapore was a very nice pop-up. Yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: so we would love to see you at 987 cloud
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: very soon. It was, it would be fantastic and lots
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of great acts, 8 acts in total, I believe. Is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that the final number? Final? OK.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Now, coming up later during the show, we've taken a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: good hard look at 600 comments. It was not easy,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but we finally have the two winners for 987, or
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: rather the shock circuit's Disney adventure giveaway. I think for
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: last night I hit my screen time quota for the year. Yeah, yo,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you know what, it was really challenging to go through
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: so many great comments, and it breaks our heart that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we don't have more packages, you know. No, but you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: know what, thank you very much for taking the time
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to go leave a comment.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And they really sound excitable. And when me and Sonia
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: say this, we really mean it. We had a very
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: hard time. Everybody wants to win it for their 2
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: year old daughter, 8-year-old son, all these cute, lovely stories. Yes, actually,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what you brought up a very good point. You said
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of the people commenting for your package, his package,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: they want to win it for their kids, but from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the hers package, they want to win it for themselves.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: What does it say about me? Never mind.

  Speaker 1: of a two year old. I'll be a very good dad,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think. OK, get the girlfriend first. Hey, stop it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Coming up in just a few minutes, we're about to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: open up phone lines for your shoutouts and for you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to tell us what school you're from. Yes, so let
• 3:52

• 3:57
  Speaker 1: past few weeks. Yeah, we, uh, past few days as well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we had Tanjong Katong Primary School. Yesterday we had Miss
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Stella Leong calling us. Used to be a teacher over
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: at Clementi Town Secondary. Yes, and I think
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Her two kids actually go to two different schools as well.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Was it Radin Mass and C H I J Kellogg?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: IJ Kellogg. Yeah. So who do we get today, we wonder, right?

• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you sound great this morning. Which school are you from? Uh,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Chong Seng Primary School. Chong Cheng. Where is that location?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Is that Yishun? Uh, no, Tampines, I was gonna say. OK,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Different areas. I used to go to uh for a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: tuition class with a girl from Chongqing. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that's why I figured. What color is your uniform, Sophia? Blue. Well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what song can we get you today and who is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it going out to? Maybe you want to give a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: shout out to your school and tell us how great
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: your school is. Uh, maybe something not so pop is
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: going out to my friends there. Oh, sure. Interesting. OK,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'll get that for you. That's coming up in just
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a second. You have a great day. OK, Sophia. Take care.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm here with you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: OK, well, let this be a cautionary tale for people
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like me. Um, so, a couple of weeks back, 2
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: weeks back when Jeremy came to the studio, remember you
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: asked him one question, which was, what are some qualities
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that he likes about me, but also what are some
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: things he like face palms or something? I forgot how
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you phrased it. Yeah, so the face palm one was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you and your packages and giving money to all these people,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: which is a good trait. I, I love that. No,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you're such a great person, but thank you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Like I, I know where you're going with this, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: all the scams and all that. So that's what Germ said, right?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, you know, kindhearted and all that,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: but like very likely to be scammed. OK, that's what
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he said. Both of you are on the same page. Um,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for this woman here in Singapore, by the way, she, um,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: tried to redeem a complimentary voucher at like a beauty parlor, OK,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: beauty place, right? Something like that. I'm assuming it's like
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a facial joint or something.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Um, they didn't really specify, neither did they name the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: beauty parlor, OK. Um, unfortunately,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: She ended up spending $6500 on skincare products and she's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: now taken this case to the small claims court, OK,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: claiming that she was frightened into spending $6500. Unfortunately for her,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the judge has thrown the case out because there's not
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: enough evidence to show that she was, you know, frightened
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: into a corner or pressured to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: To buy and I, I completely feel her, you know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: The thing is I understand how she feels. Sonia. It's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: not me, it's not me. I'm just saying that I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: can relate though it sounds like it could be her
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: as well though I will say I've never spent that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: amount of money.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: On a package before. It has never happened. You will. No, no, no,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I have more. I know how to say no now.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe in total you will spend $6.50. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But for 10 months I'll have you swiping for $650 which.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. OK, so here's what happened. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: didn't end up spending 60, don't worry, OK. Um, but
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: um over at a certain nail place, right, I know
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's always either nails, hair, or face or whatever, right? Um, I'm,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I like them, like I really
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: do like them. It's just that every time my package
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: is ending, I get very nervous because I know that
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: towards the last two or three sessions, they gonna ask me.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Xiao Jie, you want to renew. No, no, mainly, you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: want to renew. So there was one day I felt, wow,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm empowered. No, I was like, I'm empowered. I'm going
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to say no. OK, I'm going to say no. OK.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: So at the counter I said, no, it's OK. You know, uh, Puyongqing,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I will call you. I will, I will think about it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Look at your Mandarin vocabulary. Suddenly improves. That was two words, dude.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'll consider, you know, maybe next time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And then she goes, Oh, but.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You know, so and so, my manicurist, she gave you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this very special prize, you know, and she, she offered
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this to you. She don't offer anyone else. She tugged
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: at your heartstrings in your guilty conscience, and you signed. Yes,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you did. Reading the latest update from MOE kind of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: brought back memories.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: For me when I was in secondary school and primary school,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so this involves new rules kicking in in 2027 on
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: how they're going to tackle bullying more strictly. Oh, that's,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Not just bullying, but other sorts of, uh,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: naughty behavior from students, some of which I think I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: might have done before.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: See, yeah, because of you. Yeah, not just because of me.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Come on, people like you, I mean, bullying is prevalent
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: whether online or in person here in Singapore and I
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: think all over the world as well. So I don't
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: know about this one. So I'm kind of wondering.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Was the rotan taken away for a while and now
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: they're bringing it back? Good morning. Alrighty, so yesterday, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think our friends over at MOE, they had a press conference,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: doorstop interview, and it was said that bullying will be
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: tackled more strictly in schools by 2027. That's a good thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure when they say by 2027, yes,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I think the rules will be.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Enforced by then, but from now, I guess there will
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: be more eyes on any of the bullies in secondary
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: or primary school or even your tertiary institutes as well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: But I think the interesting thing is how bullying has evolved, right?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're not paid to say this at
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all because I know it may sound like a bit
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of an agenda behind it, but no, because I think
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Joakim and I when we were back in school.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Um, we didn't get access into, you know, TikTok, Instagram,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and all that, right? Yeah. But now things have evolved
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: so much. The bullying is no longer in person sometimes.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: How are you going to tackle that? So earlier I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: said not so serious offense and serious offense, I stand corrected.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's actually classified as serious offense and then in red,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: very serious offense.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: OK, so some of the serious offenses include, I, uh,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: things I've kind of done before, fighting.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you came from a boys' school, right? So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean not even mixed the tackle the angry and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you can't relate. I can't relate. I will not volunteer
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: myself for any game in PE.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: So maybe for these things, right, it's considered a serious
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: offense for first-time offenders. Maybe detention, one stroke of the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: rotan and a conduct grade adjustment. This applies for both
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: girls and boys. Yes, but for the boys, only the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: boys will get caned. Yes, that's what I was gonna
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: upper primary. No, you can't cane girls, exactly, but you know.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That was a generic statement. That's why I was wanting
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to clarify that. Another form of punishment for for for
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the ladies, but very serious offenses, they they include repeat
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: offenders and things of course maybe in the, um, how
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do I say this, circulating things you shouldn't circulate online
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and in person and of course if you're bullying, if
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you're like a repeat offender.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It will be more serious. How your conduct will become,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: will become no better than fair. You could be suspended
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and the caning strokes could be two strokes of the cane. OK.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad they're taking this, you know, to the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: next level, because I, I'm not sure whether there are
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: any statistics that show whether the rates of bullying have increased.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: For sure. I mean, social media and TikTok and Instagram
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: has increased, all these anonymous accounts, but I'm gonna say
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this as somebody who grew up in the generation where
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: public caning was a thing, it definitely struck fear in
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of us. It was quite scary to see
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: our schoolmate being caned.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: In front of the assembly hall and in front of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: everyone else. I mean, OK, that's when I was transferred
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to a mixed school. So, as you know, said earlier,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes the boys can be quite like mischievous and all that, right?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And because I was way too close, I was quite
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: close in age to the students at that point.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Um, of course, you know, my first experience trying to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: teach like both boys and girls, it was very eye-opening
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: for me, a bit of a culture shock because I
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: was from an all-girls school for like 10 years, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: um I did get a little bit of um comments
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: from like the boys in school. I got disturbed by them, OK,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to which um the PE teacher was the one that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: also doubles up as like the, I mean, I guess
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he assists the discipline master, yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And he will just stand at the classroom door, right?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: He would just have to hold like a this like
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: wooden ruler, and the boys will keep quiet. Like he
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't even have to do anything though. He just stood
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: there holding the ruler like and looked, looked at them
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: very sternly. It's the kind of image that will become
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a memory for all of us boys. And if you're
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: wondering about the teachers, yes, they will be sent for
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: courses to improve on how they diffuse the situation, identify bullies,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and also tackle it ASAP. I'm glad.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And I have so much respect for teachers. Clearly, I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: did not pursue that path, that career path. It's not exactly,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and I have so much respect for you because now
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you not only have to handle what you're set out
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to do, which is, you know, teaching, grading, um, imparting knowledge,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you have to deal with parents, you have to deal with,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you know, cases like that, bullying, more so now than ever,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and not just any parent here in Singapore, the entitled
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: ones as well.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: That's, that's scary. That's people management right there, man. So
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: lots of respect for teachers. Coming up in less than
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: 10 minutes, about to open up phone lines for $8000.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Here we go. For 987 Secret. I cannot wait. We're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: on a Thursday. Tomorrow, if no one gets it right,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that means next Monday, we're getting closer to $10,000. It's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be $9000 you're playing for. Do you think we'll
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: touch 10 and when will Boss Jen release some clues?
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious because Joakim and I and the rest
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: of the DJs, we don't know what the answer is
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: as well. So we, we're dying to know and clues
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: could help. I believe, and I'm just speculating here, that
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: when it hits $10,000 she'll drop a clue. That's when
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: she'll hit and give us a clue. OK, we'll we'll
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: see how that goes. Yo, 987.
• 14:34

  Speaker 1: OK, so my question to you is, Aaron, um, is
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this a family effort? Like, did you guys come together
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and discuss what were the possible answers for Secret Sound? Uh,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, we are. We hear it every morning.

  Speaker 1: OK but we never made the effort to call. Finally
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you did and you got through. Aaron's feeling confident today.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: If you win $8000 will you split it half-half with
• 15:05

  Speaker 1: Aaron, for $8000 what is a 987's secret sound? OK,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: we think it is a cradle pendulum. A cradle pendulum
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is your final answer. Yep. You are incorrect. Your chance
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to play 987's secret sound continues.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: That sound.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Aaron, not the answer we're looking for, and according to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: boss Janice, Cradle pendulum has been said before a few times,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: not on our show, but maybe other shows here on 987. Yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but that was a good try, Aaron. Keep trying. Don't
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: give up and hopefully you'll be the winner at some point, OK? Yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: no worries. Thank you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: one sound, one guess.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: What's that sound?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So I, I did notice over the last year or two,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: conversations about personal hygiene have come up a lot on
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: social media, OK?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Um, from, from calling people out for not showering, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and then boarding the trains and the buses and yes,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be careful we end up on Reddit. Oh, gosh, yeah. Well,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you know, um, there's a whole big conversation going on now.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You might have seen this video. Um, this guy posted.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Now he's not an influencer, OK? He was just airing
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on social media.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: OK. And and for TikTok, right, anybody can post a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: video and it can go viral. It might go viral. Exactly. Yeah. Um,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and he went for a convention that from what I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: understand is a card convention. So like card collectors, enthusiasts
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and all that might go and visit this place, OK.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And um when he came out of the convention, he
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: made some comments and he recorded it saying that, wow,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it was really very smelly. OK, so the collecting it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: They are saying that hey, you're making the card collecting
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: community look bad by saying these things. So they took
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: offense to that, to which he said, but I'm also
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: part of the collector. That's why I was there. That's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the that's his defense, and I completely agree with him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the way he said it was quite, it,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it was entertaining but quite abrasive. Maybe some people might
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: have taken offense to it, but some comments, hilarious comments
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: coming through as always, people are saying.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That um people are getting so angry because they're the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: ones that never shower in the morning. OK, given our
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: friendship level, if I
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Stink. You would tell me. I would, I would because
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I'll do the same for you as well. I feel
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: as if I'm doing you a favor like So, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: think you might want to spray perfume or change your
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: t-shirt or something like that, you know what I mean?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I think, OK, it's safe to say for the both
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of us, um, our tolerance for clothes that smell damp, we,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: we have zero tolerance for it. OK, my only issue
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: is this people.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Make sure your your your shirt or your clothes are
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: dried properly before you put them on because if it's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: still a bit damp and you wear it, that smell
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: mixed with perspiration and your perfume on board the MRT train. Yeah.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So the thing is I have a very sensitive sense
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of smell, I guess. My nose is very sensitive.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So, um, there are times where I left my laundry
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: out in the balcony, right, and maybe it might have
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: rained or it's not very hot, so it doesn't dry properly.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I will throw it back in the washing machine or
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I will, yeah, do my best to, I don't know,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Febreeze it or like sun it or something, but most
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: likely I'm going to rewash it. OK, so you would
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: tell me if I, if I'm smelly, for no better word.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: What about others that you're not that close to?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: So I have been in this situation before, actually. Um,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I did end up telling this girl just because, you know,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: it's a girl, fellow sis, she, she handled it quite OK.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: It's just that um we're not that close, so I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: just wondered whether she took offense to it, but I
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: could have saved her, you know what I mean.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Just be honest sometimes in a gentle way. We can
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: open the phone lines at 669-11987 or you can WhatsApp
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: us your thoughts at 90050987. And the question today is,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure whether you are experiencing it right now,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: but if someone around you has bad personal hygiene,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Not just about the smell of the clothes or what
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: could be, you know, oral hygiene, could be teeth, could
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: be breath, it could be whatever. Would you tell this
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: person upfront, or will you just kind of like tahan
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it or avoid the person? How would you navigate this? Yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: how would you? I know it's a difficult one to,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to start, you know, especially if you don't know the
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: person very well. Give us a call 669-11987 or drop
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: us a WhatsApp message 90,050.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: 987. If you feel like someone around you really smells
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: bad or has bad personal hygiene, will you tell this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: person and be honest. In exchange, we've got a pair
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: of tickets for you to be the first in Singapore
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to catch Michael for 987 movie night happening April 21st.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And by the way, watch it with us for movie night.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Then if you can watch it again in IMAX. That's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Nice difference, right? But we want you to be the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: first in Singapore to watch it. So please join us
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: for movie night that's happening. I believe it's next Tuesday. Yes. OK,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: we're referencing a video that went pretty viral that sparked
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: off a bunch of conversations, not just on social media platforms,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: but also Reddit forums and all that. This guy who
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: is not an influencer, you know, he said his two
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: cents on, on, uh, on TikTok initially first.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: About how people over at this particular card convention that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he was at really had bad personal hygiene and they
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: smelled bad. By the way, to our local media, not
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: every single viral video means it comes from an influencer. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it's true. It could have been a regular dude with
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like 100 followers, you know I feel as if there's
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: an agenda against influencers, right, but I do feel.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Bad for him to some extent because the comments were
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: coming after his looks, his wife, you know, like just
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: his appearance, and uh he's since released another follow-up video,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but it prompted us to ask you this question today.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: When it comes down to personal hygiene, right?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like, you know, you've come across someone
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: around you that potentially smells bad or doesn't have great
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: personal hygiene, and will you tell this person? Saying good
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: morning to Kim. My mom has a 50 tolerance for
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: bad smelling people. We went for a movie last week.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I was smelling bad breath from my left from someone
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: munching his popcorn the entire show. My mom was smelling
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: BO from her right, and she said out loud, some
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: people just don't shower. And I was so embarrassed. Poor guy.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: No, I think this is such a delicate topic, right,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: but also the people that may have body odor may
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: not know they have body odor. You know what I mean?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: They may not realize it. What's the term for it, uh,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: One coming in from James RQ. Morning Sojo. It depends
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: if I'm close to the person. I have a friend
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: who perspires a lot, and there was one his top
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't dried properly and it was super stinky. I asked him,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: do you use perfume with a rotten cheese scent?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: But I guess you're on the level of friendship where
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you can be honest about it, yeah, and your friend
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: will probably just go buy a new shirt. And that's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: why when I know that I've perspired very badly, and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: if I see someone I know and he or she
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: comes in for a hug, I'm like, guys, don't just, just,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: just fist bump or something. Yeah, stay away. I, I,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want any like self-aware, very self-aware. OK, when
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: we come back, more of your messages and your calls
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: We're going to head to the phone lines too, 669-11987.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Give us a call and tell us if someone around you,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: could be a friend or a colleague or a family member, um,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: smells bad or has not very good personal hygiene, will
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you tell this person? Give us a call right now.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Phone lines are open in exchange for a pair of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: movie tickets for you to be the first in Singapore
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to catch Michael. Back to more messages and your calls.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Um, unfortunately, inspired by this video where, uh, a guy,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: not an influencer, went on TikTok initially and then I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: guess it went all over Instagram and other platforms as well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: about how people were really spelling quite bad over this
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: particular card collector's convention. Um, he got whacked pretty badly
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in the comment section, you know, people attacking his looks,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: his wife, this and that. So, um, he's since issued
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a follow-up video. But the question is, if you know
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: someone around you,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That doesn't have the best personal hygiene. Will you tell
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: this person? Want to say good morning to Sue on WhatsApp.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Hey Sonia and Joakim, this reminds me of when I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: used to work with a colleague in his twenties. Whenever
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I worked the same shift as him, I would get
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a headache because his clothes had that damp smell. Oh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: just by her typing that at me. I can smell
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: it already.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Like laundry that wasn't dried properly. I never said anything
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: because I understood he was staying in a rental room
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and with shift work. It's hard to sun dry clothes. OK,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: this is, this is tough. This is very tough to navigate.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I wonder if some sort of like Febreze help. No,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it might make it not because I think there's certain sprays,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, Febreze is supposed to help like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: remove some of that mildew smell or whatever you call it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the safest thing he can
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: do is either dry it outside the place and pray
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that no one takes his clothes or hang it near
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the window so it can really dry he really needs
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: to buy drying fabrics like the t-shirts that are like
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: just dry fit stuff. I don't know. Perhaps, perhaps to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: say good morning to Elliot. Hey guys, I worked in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: an office and there's always this one girl that smelled
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: very bad. Felt like she just added her clothes instead
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: of washing it before wearing it again. To the extent
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: her neighbor.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: My colleague went to the toilet to puke after lunch
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and demanded for a seat exchange. If not, she will quit.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Wow. Did, did, did the manager or
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: something sort of tell the person why? It gets better
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to text. During COVID period, we had to go back
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to the office and there was this safe distancing to
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: stay 1 m away from each other. We took a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: chance and it was very, it was a very happy
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: period of time because we all invested on a measuring
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: tape and whenever she came.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Came close to check on something with us. We'll use
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: the measuring to to show her please 1 m while
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: standing away from us. But the manager, no one told
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: this girl. Like what if she doesn't know because you're immune.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I think as a manager, I have to really use
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: my words carefully. This is where chat GPT will come
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in handy. I have to use my words very carefully.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: If not, OK, the girl might go and say, Hey, HR,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you know, my manager called me smelly, that kind of thing.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna type in chat. How do I tell?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: A a girl that she smells bad. OK, OK, I'm gonna,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I'm doing a favor for everyone, OK with prompt it
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: properly with HR, OK. Specifically a girl, is it because
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you're scared you hurt her feelings. OK. OK, loading.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Short answer. You usually shouldn't say it directly unless it's
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: your job to, for example, you're the manager or HR.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: This is one of those situations where being honest can
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: easily backfire and become a workplace complaint. Oh my God,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: GPT give us an answer. Yeah, OK, I know. So
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: here's how to handle it without creating problems. If you
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: are in a position where you
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: You must address it. Please keep it private. Never do
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it in front of others. Keep it neutral and factual.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Focus on your workplace impact, not your personal judgment. You
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: can say something like, hey, I wanted to mention something
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a bit awkward, but I want someone to tell me
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: as well. I've noticed a strong smell at times and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to flag it in case you were
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: not aware.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: OK, that's, that's decent. And wait, hold on smell. Yeah,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I mean that's just an example, and then it goes,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: then stop talking.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Then stop talking. Don't overexplain. Don't joke. Don't pile on.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Don't hint, joke or gossip. That's worse than being direct.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: See that runs the risk. I noticed a strong smell
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and can you imagine I respond to you saying, yeah,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I noticed this too. I noticed it too. Yes, there
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Are you saying it's coming from me? Yes, then just
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: say yes at this point. Yes, I think it's you. Yeah,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know how else do you say this? How else?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Sonia smell. OK, the moment this person walks into HR,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: HR is gonna smell it too. So then how? Then how, right?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Dude, this is like, honestly, I think it's a good idea.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Chad GBT more useful than Joakim's suggestion.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Aaron is on the line right now. What about you, Aaron? I,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I thought of calling because I wanted to share a
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: personal experience. So because I, um, I work in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: office and I also like teach at the gym as well. So, um,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I do sweat quite a bit. Like I do notice
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that sometimes the clothes do smell really bad. Um, what
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I did was I, I checked with like, you know,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: another friend, like, you know, how do I fix this
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: problem because it's actually quite embarrassing. Essentially, she, she taught
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: me how to do my laundry properly.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait, what were you doing wrong?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It's a
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: combination, like, you know, maybe normal detergent sometimes doesn't get
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: into the clothes as effectively as it should just because
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: like there's so much germs stuck onto the clothes. It
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't dry properly, especially in our weather. Sometimes it gets
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: a bit too humid. She asked, she gave me this
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: really simple tip which really helped a lot. So, um,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: like do a, do a pre-soak in decor and basically
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: that solved quite a bit of a problem.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I realized, especially for HDB.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: There's the new indoor drying system where if you hang it,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: there's a fan on top of it that will hopefully
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: blow dry your clothes ASAP. Yeah. You see, just based
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: off his story alone, just ask a girl, OK? Um,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: touchy topic here today, but inspired by a viral video
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: where a guy actually called out people for not having
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the best personal hygiene, smelling quite bad over at this
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: particular convention, which sparked off a debate. A lot of
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: people stand by him and say like, hey, you know what,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: you gotta say.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: As it is because it could be facts, right? I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: think it's how we say it as well that matters.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So I want to read out Curly's text on WhatsApp,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: but I have to water down a few things. OK.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: It was too much detail. Oh, hey, Sonia and Joakim,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'm the operations manager, and we use part-timers regularly for
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the weekends. We had a student who often works with
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: us every Sunday. After a month in, most of my
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: full-timers have told me about her body odor, which is
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: very
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Very pungent. To me, I have a very sensitive nose.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: She smelled so bad you could actually send, you can
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: actually smell her coming from 2 m away. It is
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: not a whiff. It's like a very long lingering dark
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: scent to the point that customers squirm when she presents
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the cafe food and drinks to them, to the point
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that our owner's wife had to come to me and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: instructed me to do something about it. Yeah. So one
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: day I awarded her with her own uniform because of
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: her regularity, as well as
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I got her a little floral EDP spray. I was
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: so bubbly and told that you will smell great. It's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a perfume that I always wanted to try. Maybe you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: can give it a shot and see if it can
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: change right now, like right now. She did it. She
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: looked happy, but I don't think she got the hint
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: because the next day she was back to the same
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: original BO with the new shirt. So as the manager,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I really had to do something, and the only way
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: was to tell it to tell her the truth. So
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I found a private moment where I can speak to
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: her and I told her, maybe.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: You don't know. It is not your fault to stop,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: but you do have an obvious body odor, and that
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: is something you can look into for your next shift.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: She did not take it too well, and she never
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: sent me her slots anymore. Oh no. To me, that's
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: one less problem to worry about, to be honest. The
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: team kept the team kept on talking about this full
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: scenario up till today. Wow, OK, that was a tough one.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, see, here's the problem, right? Um.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: You need like proper deodorant for this. For some people
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: it could be like a medical condition, a medical thing,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and if their own family is immune to it, then
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna know. Like no one's gonna know or
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: tell them. I'm gonna give a very unpopular opinion in
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the F&B sector. If you're gonna serve food, if you're
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: handling food, don't smoke during your shift. Oh yeah, I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: think we both know, we both experienced this recently because
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the cigarette smell linger.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: on your fingers and hands, right? The moment you serve
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the food, we can smell it, it might spoil the appetite. Actually,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do know some people who, um, you know,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: have the habit of smoking, but they have good personal hygiene.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So they actually will wash their hands regularly, breath spray, perfume, everything,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: and I can't even tell. Yeah, just make sure the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: hand wash is strong enough to get the smell. Thank
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you so much for all your messages and your calls.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we've got stories from both sides of
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the coin.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: When we come back, one person is walking away with
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: those movie tickets. Sonia and Joakim with you. Thanks so
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: much for joining us here today. OK, one person is
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: walking away with a pair of tickets to be the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: first in Singapore to catch Michael. Yeah, OK. Only because
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: she really shared it with such great detail, and I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: really understand her position and pain and frustrations as well
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: on how to handle the situation. Curly, congratulations.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: The Michael tickets coming your way from 987 movie night.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: It's currently like her real name or her nickname. It's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: a username nickname, but I'm trying to avoid saying her
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: real name in case people say, hey, I know this person,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. true, true. Well, hope you
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: enjoy yourself. Joakim and I will be there as well,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: hosting you, welcoming you, and to be the first in
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: SG to catch Michael, the life of Michael Jackson. So
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: if you're coming in for 987 movie night, please wear
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a dry shirt. OK, stop it.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: OK, so, uh, slightly earlier this year, I kind of
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: remember a conversation that we had where you said this
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: may be the year that you are considering getting a car.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: You mentioned this to me. Do you remember? You said
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you're considering. That was January. It's April now. What happened?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards a no. It's OK. No, um, OK,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so I was watching your episode of Booty Call with
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the Muttons, and I'm very happy you said this. I'm
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: actually saving for a house. Yes, which I know because
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you shared that with me. I've been saving for a
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: house for the last 10 years.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: OK, look, join the rest of the crew here in Singapore, OK? That's,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: that's our life, right? But I just wanted to give
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: my friends over at MG a big shout out. As
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I work very closely with them. Um, I,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not doing this just because like I'm
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: their ambassador or whatever, but I genuinely think it's a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: really good deal. Um, great price over at Vivo City
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that you can get. You will find out all everything
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: about the brand new MG.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Or, it is a hatchback, very easy to use. Joakim,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I think this is perfect for you as a, this
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: will be your first car if you do get one,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and I think it's the perfect starting car, starting vehicle.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: It's also an EV naturally if MG offers me the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: ambassador role alongside you, I will take I'll drive anything
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: they sell it to me. I can turn off your
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: mic right now, you know. I think that one you
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: better not, better not.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But um today, if you come on down to the launch,
• 34:02

• 34:37
  Speaker 1: We are preparing some already. Asking for a friend. Will
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you be driving the MG4 for a while? I mean,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I'm on the S5 right now, but I may do
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a test drive on the MG4. It's smaller than my
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: current car. OK, I called dibs on being the third
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: man to sit in the front seat, the first two
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: being my dad and Jeremy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I'll be the 3rd 1. It's OK. You know, the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: funny thing is I realized that now Jeremy, you and
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Jerem have become like my passenger princesses, OK, like I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: mentioned in the Muttons, uh, episode as well. So yeah, um,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I'm no longer the passenger princess. So when was the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: last time that happened? I don't remember. I mean when
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Jeremy drives you la. Yeah, but you know, it's rare,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: It's like when you have your own vehicle, you end
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: up just like, OK, meet here lah, meet here at
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: this time, OK, I'll meet you here. And again I
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: realized I've been your passenger princess for the last
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: 1010 years of my life. You're right. I've had my
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: license driving the Honda vessel. I've had my license for
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: 10 years exactly. Yeah. See, who is your loyal day
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: one fan of your driving? Who has been giving you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: free rides since 2016? I don't charge you a single time, OK.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Um, this evening, I believe, I was just told like
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: very late last night that episode one of a very
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: short mini wedding series that we've worked on is rolling
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: out this evening. Oh, as in you and Jeremy, Jeremy
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and I, and well, not every episode features him, I,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I would say.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Um, but Joe has yet to make an appearance. You
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: will soon. You were supposed to come for the lunch tasting,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: but you didn't come. It was so fun. You should
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: have been there. Will, will, will they be filming an
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: episode at your wedding itself? They will be, that's my appearance, right? No, no, no, no, no.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I think that leading up to that, they actually want
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to pull some of my friends aside to have one
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: on one.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: On chats with them and I think you might be
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: one of them, like a confessional, yeah, like a confessional
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: reality series. I have to be there. Let me give
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: you a spoiler. You will let me throw you back
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to 8 years ago when Sonia Chow very excitedly tells
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: me after she's back from the cruise, Hey, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: what about I got tea, I got tea, I got tea.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I don't sound like that. Then one song played. I'm like, OK,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: can you please tell me now? I met a guy
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: on a cruise.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And she, and when she told me his name, I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: was like, huh?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: OK, I went hard because the name was quite similar
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: to one of her ex's names. Bro, just say it
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: as it is. It's the same name. OK, it's OK.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: It's fine. Just say it. And I was like, you
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: have a thing for Jeremy.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: That was my first reaction. It was funny. And then
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: she got so excited she was being all a little
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: squeamish and I was not. I have never squealed in
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: my life over a guy. Yes, for Jeremy Song, you did.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I refuse to acknowledge that I did not.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Joe is dramatizing it. No, no. And then, yes, so
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: that's a spoiler. She was so excited about it. 8
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: years later, ayo, in almost like a month's time, I know.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I know. So, um, the video, the first app drops today.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a bit more.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Of a personal sharing one first to just set the tone,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh germs actually spilled some stuff that
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't know as well. So please catch it, show
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: some love, support, and I think more importantly, if you
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: are planning to settle down or get married or you're
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: planning a wedding, I think that the, the concept of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: planning a wedding has changed so much over the years,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and I am admitting this myself. I am not a
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: very bridal person at all. In fact, if I could
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: just throw a party and get it over with, I would.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: If I could spend.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: as little money as possible on the wedding, I would,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm keeping it super small, like, especially the dinner.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, throwing a party and getting it over and
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: done with, that's what a wedding is, lah. Just 11
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: and done, you know, finished. You know, some people have
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: like a whole weekend's worth of activities. I really cannot.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. They have the budget. We don't.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: That's true. Yes, they have father and mother's money. I'm
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: trying to keep the budget as low as possible. Please
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: do and save it for the honeymoon or something. Yeah. So, um,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: please support and catch the episode dropping this evening.
