987 THE SHOCK CIRCUIT REPLAY🔁 130526 · 987 The Shock Circuit

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I wake up next to you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. So this is day
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one of what feels like a million when Sonia is away. Yeah,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: but not to worry, got yours truly. Joakim Gomez, keeping
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you company, of course, as we count down to Sonia,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: going from miss to Mrs. on 987. Singapore's number one
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Well, again, if you're a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: would know that he plays football currently in the Saudi
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Pro League for Al-Nasser. It's been about 3, maybe even
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: 4 years, maybe 3, that he's played for this team
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and he's not won the Saudi Pro League as of yet.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So as it stands, earlier this morning, Al Nassir took
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: on 2nd place Al Hilal. If Al Nassir had to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: win that game, if they, they would have won that game.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: They would have been champions of the Saudi Pro League
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: at last and for Ronaldo, achieving yet another trophy under
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: his belt. But imagine this, you were up 1-0, OK?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: The referee adds on 9 minutes of injury time, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: then this happens at the 97th minute. Oh my goodness,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it's gone in.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it's an error by Bento, the biggest mistake by Al Nasser.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And the title celebrations that were seconds away, extraordinarily are
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on hold. You need to watch the video. You need
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to see the highlights. I, I've watched it close to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: 10 times. It's Al Hilal crossing the ball into the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: penalty box. Bento had a very easy catch. He flails
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: his arm, misses the ball, and the ball goes in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the back of his own net. You would think Andre
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Onana is in goal, but.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Bento needs to be investigated for match fixing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: There's no other way to explain this bizarre own goal.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: So now it stands that Al Nassir, they need to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: win all their remaining games because the moment they slip up,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the title might go to Al Hilal's way.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And they have a game in hand. There you go. Hopefully,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this won't be the same story for Ronaldo if, if
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he were to reach the finals of World Cup 2026,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: which is happening in less than a month's time, people,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm absolutely excited. Hopefully, you are as well. But for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the music, when it comes to this year's World Cup,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's been
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Quite like Luxster. I'm gonna give you something right now.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yet another concert announcement that's happening here in Singapore. Mark
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this date down, November twenty-eighth, and at the indoor stadium,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: guess who's coming back to Singapore? It's these girls. It's
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Baby Monster themselves. They will be back in Singapore.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing, um, I, I would like to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: think when it comes to the K-pop industry, right, even
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: though bands belong to different labels, maybe the marketing PR
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: or the tour management from different labels might work together
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to say, OK.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: We might go to this country at this period in time,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: please no clashes, because apparently happening on November twenty-eighth as well,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the venue is yet to be announced, but Le Seraphim
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: are coming to Singapore as well.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: They also gave you a hit like Spaghetti.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So yes, November twenty-eighth could be a friendly battle between
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: K-pop fans here in Singapore. Will you be going for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Baby Monster or will you be going for the Seraphim?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And here is my favorite part of the show. Sonia
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and I, when we started this year, we gave ourselves
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a mission.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We want to connect with all 400+ schools that we
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: have here in Singapore, yes. Whether primary, secondary, polytechnic, JC, ITE, uni,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: private you, even if you're being homeschooled, call us 669-119-87.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Put your conversation skills to good use. Practice for your
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: oral in the future, you never know.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And what we want you to do is give your
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: school a shout out. Tell us what's amazing about your school.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Over the week, we had some different schools called in,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: so hopefully today, it's a different primary, secondary, JC ITE polyuni.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Let us know. It could even be a teacher or
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a principal. If you want to motivate your students, the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: phone lines are at your disposal, 669-119-87.

  Speaker 1: And maybe request for a song to play. Maybe your
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: students or you could use something to perk you up. 987, hello,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what's your name?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Hi 987. My name is Zoey. Hello Zoey, you sound
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: very happy on this Wednesday morning, so which school are
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you from?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, Raffles Girls' School. Raffles Girls' School. Shout out to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you guys. Thank you for calling in. Can I ask,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is it the one at Bishan, Better Road there?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, yes, ah, OK, because I always run past that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: area and the one thing I'm very happy your school cap,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it's the mural that's outside your school. It's been there forever,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the mosaic with the tiles and all that. So, Zoey,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: what's amazing about Raffles Girls' School? Tell us.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: In the library, we have a Nintendo Switch that we
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: can play games on. Wait, you're allowed to do that?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, after school, after school, OK, because even though during
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: my time in secondary school we had the computer lab, right,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: after school, if we had to go to any other
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: website that wasn't educational, we'll get scoldings from our teachers.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But yes, I'm very happy that you have a Nintendo Switch.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: What song can I get you this morning, Zoe? Cruel
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Summer by Taylor Swift. And who is that song going
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: out to, Zoe?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, my mom, your mom, is she driving you to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: school right now?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hello, Zoe's mom. Keep safe on the roads. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: wish she sounded more energetic. Nah, she's great. And earlier
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I played you the soundtrack.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Do you know where it's from?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: OK, let me make things easy for you. You might
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: have recognized this pop song from this certain movie as well.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: If you said Project Hail Mary, 100 bonus points to
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you today on this Wednesday. Well done.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But if you didn't say that, if you haven't seen
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Project Hail Mary, I believe here in Singapore, limited screenings
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: are still available, and I say this personally, my opinion
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: here on 987, for the year 2026 so far, easily
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the best movie I've seen. Ryan Gosling could be a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: shoo-in for maybe an Academy Award nomination, and even the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: movie's soundtrack as well. It could be nominated for
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Next year's Oscars. Why am I talking about this movie?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Because if you are a Prime Video, Amazon Prime Video member,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you'll be happy to know that as of today, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: available for video on demand. Not exactly streaming yet. Video
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on demand being you can buy the movie and own
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it or maybe even rent it and screen it if
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna watch it with the family and friends. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it goes for, I think,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: US 1999 to US 2499. That's roughly about Singapore, $24
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to $30. So, there you go. If you haven't seen
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Project Hail Mary yet, hopefully you can find a cinema
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: that's still screening it, but oh, you missed it in IMAX. Maybe,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: who knows, they might bring it back for a limited
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: IMAX screening one day here in our country. Now, earlier
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I said this, Imagine knowing someone.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And then it turns out you don't know them at all.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It could be your ex, it could be your friend,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it could be your boss, it could be your manager.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Could it be your mayor? Let me play some spy
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: music to deliver this story to you.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, well, very tense. OK. So this actually happened. It's,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's in the news and I, I'm a sucker for
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: spy movies and all these kind of agents, investigating agents
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. So for this to happen
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in real life, you know it's real, OK? So apparently,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the ex-mayor of Acadia in California, her name is Eileen Wang.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: She was nominated to be a mayor, I think sometime
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: around 2022.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But recently, on Monday, she pleaded guilty to being an
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: illegal agent of the People's Republic of China. So what
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: she did was she ran a fake news site for
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the Chinese-American community, posting pro-Chinese content on their website, according
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to the US Department of Justice.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: This is, wow, this is Netflix worthy. I, I, I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: wonder how she was caught. I, I wonder what happened there,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: but yeah, there you go. And if you think such
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: things only happens in spy movies, no, you are absolutely wrong.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: But then again, the comments section, yeah, some are going, OK, right, thankfully.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He was caught and all that, and then others are saying, hey,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: isn't that what the CIA might do to other countries
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: as well? Oh, the plot thickens. So yeah, uh, so
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: President Trump is currently on his way to China with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a slew of business conglomerates and business moguls and all that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: They're they're gonna meet the Chinese leaders.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I, I wonder whether this situation be brought up in discussions.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: If it does, I'll give you an update here on 987.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You can read all about it online. It's available for you.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: And Aziza right here on 987, your number one hit
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: music station. Joakim Gomez here with you. Of course, that
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: song coming off is playing.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Album featuring the likes of Sapphire and all that. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: my personal opinion, I think that album is the closest
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to old school Ed Sheeran we've ever come in the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: last decade or so. But in the meantime, we are
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: playing SingTel grab Back Magic. Let's see who we have
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: on the line. 987, hello, what's your name? Hi, I'm Angel. Hello, angel.

• 11:11
  Speaker 1: your very first clue.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: With regard to the total value of the bag, it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: about maybe 30 plates of chicken rice, about 30 plates
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: of chicken rice. Your second clue, it's about 2 weeks
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of daily kopi plus toast set. 2 weeks of daily
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: kopi plus toast set.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: And your third clue, maybe it's about 10 Grab rides

• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Hm, because cook toast, uh, and fried rice, sorry, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: chicken rice. So, and across town, it shouldn't be until $400. Wow,

  Speaker 1: Congratulations to you, angel. Hopefully you enjoyed it, OK? Come back.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The phone lines will be open over at 669-119-87. This
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: one inspired by what
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I saw in relation to the upcoming World Cup, and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: if you are abhorrent, you know, us humans, when we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: show allegiance to a football team, we'll buy their jersey.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, just look at Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Man City,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspur. Hopefully, they don't get relegated. But when we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: come back, how about a football jersey, World Cup related?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: For your fur baby. OK, if you're abhorrent, I wanna
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: have a chat with you here on 987. The phone
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: lines will be open over at 669-11987, as well as
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: WhatsApp 90050987. Inspired by what our friends over at Adidas
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: are doing for the World Cup, you know, for us humans, again,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: when we swear allegiance to something, your favorite basketball team,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Formula One team, your favorite wrestler, or maybe even your
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: football team.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Chances are you might go and buy the t-shirt or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: merchandise or even the football jerseys. Yeah, every time here
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in Singapore, you're bound to see a Manchester United jersey,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: an Arsenal jersey, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Man City, maybe even
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Chelsea as well.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: But what if the same concept gets applied to your
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: fur baby, to your fur kid? Yes. So Adidas are
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: launching the first pet collection in Singapore with mini football
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: jerseys for your fucking year.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm, I'm just thinking, if you put a German
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Shepherd in an England jersey or a Shiba Inu in
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a Korean jersey, is it blasphemy? You know, Shiba Inu
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: from Japan, German Shepherd, do they naturally want to support
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: their home teams or where their breed is from? I wonder.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the details are, uh, over at Clark Quay Fountain,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: May 15th to 17th.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: That's where the collection will be available. And then May
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: 22nd to May 23rd, also at Clark Key Fountain. That's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: where the collection will be first, I think maybe pre-launched
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: or soft launched. And then May 24th itself, it will
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: be available at select Adidas stores, the website, and the app.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And it looks very cute from the file photos, we're
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: seeing dogs in Argentina, Jersey. There's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It's a very cute one in a Mexico jersey as well.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing, to parents in Singapore, is this
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: another expense that you'll get anyway for your fur baby? I,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I wanna really ask you this question. 669-11987 or 90050987.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: You can be anonymous anonymous if you want to as well.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: How much do you spend?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: On your fur baby each month. I, I'm very curious
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: because I am considering.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Wanting to get a dog to, you know, keep myself
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: company and especially my mom and seeing what Maxi has
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: been doing for Sonia's parents and Sonia as well. I've
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: learned from that and yeah, maybe my mom could use
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a dog once she retires to make sure she's active,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but I, I really envision my mom becoming somebody who
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: will pamper the dog. She'll pamper the dog more than
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: she pampers me. So, 669-11987 again or 90.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: 005 0987. How much do you spend on your fur
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: kit each month here in Singapore in this economy? Let
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: us know. I would love to hear your stories on
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: 987 if you do like it. What's coming your way.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: A very nice dining experience. All thanks to our friends
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: over at Lime Restaurant at Park Royal Pickering. So, given
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: today's question, how much do you spend on your fur
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: baby each month? Inspired by Adidas launching a World Cup
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: jersey collection.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: For your fur kits. Yes. So I would not be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: surprised if I see more cats, dogs. I don't think
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: they made one for birds or any other pet, but yes,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: they might be in jerseys walking around the streets here
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in Singapore, saying good morning to Monica. Monica says, hey, Joakim,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: my golden retriever is basically my child at this point. Food, grooming, treats, supplements,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: probably around $350.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: To $450 a month, lah. One coming in from Bernard.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Bernard says, Hey, Joakim, I have two Indy cats. They
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: are very low maintenance compared to dogs, but with premium
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: food and litter, still about $120 monthly. Wow, OK. When
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: we come back, we do have Andy on the line,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: but you can call us as well, 669-119-87. Inspired by
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: what I read about how Adidas, they are launching for
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the first time in Singapore, the pet jersey.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Election, of course, with the World Cup and all that'll
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: be quite cute. I, I really wonder how many dogs
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and cats I'll see running around in Singapore wearing Brazilian jerseys,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: England jerseys, France, Germany, whatsoever. Let's see. OK. 11 text
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: coming in, if I'm not wrong, from Evan. Evan, you say,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: good morning, Joakim. My wife usually uses my credit card
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: for our dog's grooming session.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I wasn't with her, but I received the charge notification, $360.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I called her and she said, Give the fur kid
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: mud spa. Oh my God, I guess their life is
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: really better than ours. Yeah, there, there you go. Again
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I say this, my next life, if I, if I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: could be reborn, I want to be like a goldie
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to someone who stays in 6th Avenue or Bukit Timah
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: or maybe even Sentosa Cove. 669-119-87. Andy, what about you?
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, grooming plus.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: His males and etc. I have two, by the way,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: but one each will cost me approximately like 250. 0 wow, OK.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Is that considered expensive for you or is that still manageable?
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's still manageable. What breeds are they, if
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you don't mind me asking? I have a Shih Tzu
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and I have a poodle, but let me remind you, um,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like small things when it goes wrong. For example, my
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: poodle leaped down from the sofa, broke her front leg,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and it cost me approximately like 8000. 0, OK.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That's a very expensive injury right there. It could be
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: even more than humans, but yes, yes, yes, I think, yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: it's more expensive than, uh, so my advice is get
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a pet insurance. What are your names? Uh, April and Mushy.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: April and Mushy. Thank you so much for calling us, Andy.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You take care, OK. Bye. You too. Have a good day. Bye.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Going back to our phone lines and WhatsApp over at 90050987.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And the question is, how much do you spend on
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: your fur baby every month here in Singapore in this economy? Yes.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I wanna say hello to MSK on WhatsApp. Morning, Joakim.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I have two fur babies. Their food monthly, $200 liver
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: supplement plus probiotics, $120 rehab, $280 and grooming, $180. Please
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: do your math and also
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So try to adopt. They are more likely healthier and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: might not have much genetic health issues due to unethical
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: breeding here in Singapore. Oh, I've actually heard about this,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: so hopefully it's kind of being clamped down by the authorities. 669-11987. Matt,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: what's your story, buddy?
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: OK, so I, I actually lost my pet this
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: year.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Our condolences, man.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was a golden retriever.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: So the thing is that with golden retrievers, uh, they
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: come with a lot of allergy problems, skin issues and
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. So just to start off with, uh,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: just for skin allergies, we, we give this medication called Cytopo.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: It's like $300 for every 3 months. Then his food,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: his food is mostly like home-cooked. So we are talking
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: about like, uh, kangaroo meat, crocodile meat, stuff like that
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: because of his allergies.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So I would say with the supplements, joint supplements, everything
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ballpark figure you're talking at least about $800 to $900
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a month if you want to take proper care of that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: So that's why I don't indulge in accessories. Like if
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: my pet was around, I wouldn't buy the Adidas merchandise
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: because to be very honest, I think that it, it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: nice to spend on the fluff, but a lot of
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: people don't pay attention to what actually, uh, sustains them.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Like my, my golden.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He passed away when, uh, I mean this year when
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: he passed away he was about 11 years old. So
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: right till the very end, he was in absolutely good condition,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: but even then we could not, uh, like, uh, uh, detect, uh,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the cancer in his spleen. So despite good care this
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: can happen. So I always urge parents to spend on
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: important things.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Some words of wisdom there coming in from Matt. Thank
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you so much for calling us, man. So if you're abhorrent,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: in case you missed it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Earlier with the World Cup just around the corner, our
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: friends over at Adidas, they are launching for the first
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: time here in Singapore, a pet jersey collection. So I'm
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: guessing teams that Adidas represent. We're talking Mexico, Japan, Spain, Germany, Argentina,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: of course. I'm pretty sure there are other teams that
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I've not named, but yeah, if you buy the Italy jersey,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: hopefully get it on a discount because don't forget, Italy
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are not in the World Cup, yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Anyway, based on that, my question is, how much do
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you spend on your fur baby each month here in Singapore?
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Going back to WhatsApp, I wanna say good morning to Marcus. Morning, Joakim.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I'm 100% supportive of getting a fur baby. Speaking from experience,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: my family collectively spends somewhere in the high 4 digits
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: every month, sometimes 5, but hear me out. My parents
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: have 1 cat and 2 dogs. All are rescued.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Animals. My mom always had a soft heart for these
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: fur babies and can never bear to see them being abused.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: So she says she wants to make it up to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: them by pampering them even more to compensate them for
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: their tough times before they were rescued. While I may
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: be jealous at times, the smile I see on her
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: face when she cares for them is just priceless. Oh wow, Marcus,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: give your mom a big hug for me, OK, courtesy
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: of us here on 987. Saying also good morning to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Maddie on WhatsApp. Hey, Joakim.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I've got two beautiful girls, and she sends a picture
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of the cats. Oh it's two cats. I spent $150
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: every other month for grooming, for food, about $120 only
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: on kibbles, not including treats. There you go. Hopefully that's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: manageable for you, Maddie.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: The calls and texts coming in, I think time for
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: one or two more before you pick a winner. So
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: on the topic of how much you spend on your
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: fur kit on a monthly basis here in Singapore, I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: want to just read a few more texts that I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: received on WhatsApp, 90050987. Mitch says, my dog eats steamed
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: beef and salmon every day.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Paired with fresh vegetables like pumpkin, broccoli, carrots, he eats
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: better than me while I eat Maggie noodles at home.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: His meals alone cost around $400 per month, not forgetting
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the monthly grooming of $70 but it is all worth it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Mitch. And the next time someone
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: says to me, eat like a dog, is it really
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a bad thing judging how Mitch's dog has steamed beef
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and salmon every day? OK.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: One more coming in also from Andy. Andy says, hey, 987,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I actually don't spend that much on my fur baby,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and in fact, I feel that many are overspending on
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the wrong things. Personally, I work from home all the time,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: so I spend a lot of time with my husky
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and I bring him on long.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Walks day and night and out to dog parks to
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: play and interact with others. I feel that many have
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: forgotten what nature is all about and spend too much
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: on things such as cafes, human food, which may not
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: really be suitable in excessive amounts. Oh yo, OK.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And one coming in from Joshua. Joshua says, Morning, Joe.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Sending this on behalf of my sister and brother-in-law who
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: are working. They probably spend close to 6 digits caring
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: for their two rescue dogs. One is blind and the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: other has a shorter hind leg, but they so, but
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: they love them so much that they even
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Brought them to Paris. Oh, thank you so much for sharing, Joshua,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and it's a very nice picture of the two fur
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: babies in front of the Louvre. Wow. Well, I mean,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: if you're able to, you have to budget, why not
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: care for your fur kids, right? But anyway, for today's winner,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I want to give it to Marcus who texted to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: us on WhatsApp earlier. Marcus, thank you very much.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Marcus sharing about how his mom really loves the 1
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: cat and 2 dogs that she has, all her rescue animals,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and her heart cannot bear to understand the abuse they
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: went through a long time ago. So now she's doing
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: what she can to pamper the 1 cat and 2 dogs.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: So Marcus, you know what? Take your mom out for
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a nice meal, bring her to Lime Restaurant.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Over at Park Royal Collection, over at Pickering, and enjoy
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a wonderful buffet courtesy of us here on the Shock circuit. Enjoy. 123,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Boto Crime, Boto Crime, Bori Borime. I think Sonia sings
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it better, but never mind. Today, we are taking you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: to the perilous streets of Punggol.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Sorry. That's the best negative adjective I can come up
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: with that begins with P. Now, in case you're wondering, uh,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: how can you say Punggol is perilous? You, you, you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: know how in all the uh US crime shows, they
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: will always say like, oh, the mean streets of Boston. Oh, yes,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you know, the careless streets of California. We, we're trying
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: to make it sound cool or lah, but crime is
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: never cool here in Singapore. So a lady has been
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: arrested and she's now facing 8 days jail and a fine.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Because she stole not 1, not 2, but 19 bottles
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: of red wine from Sheng Seong over at Punggol. If
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you're wondering the brand of the wine, Jacob's Creek.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: If you're a wine connoisseur here in Singapore, you would
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: know that Jacob's Creek is the entry level of all
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: entry levels when it comes to wine here in Singapore. So,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: what she did and what was captured on the CCTV
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and by the way, for all Sheng Seong stores in Singapore,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: their CCTV.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: They have AI facial recognition. So if you do anything funny,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: they're actually able to recognize your face, and the moment
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you walk in the store, if your face is flagged up,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it might send a notification to all the staff saying that, oh, OK,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: this suspicious person is here today at our Shengxiang outlet,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: so be extra careful. So this lady, she brought 3
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: bags with her, and she took 3 bottles of wine.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: She walks out the store.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: And again, I don't encourage crime, but you know, now
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: that you're out of the store, get out of there,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: get as far as you can. No, she goes back
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: in the store to take more bottles of wine. So
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: later the staff realized, hey, there's a bit of a
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: discrepancy between our inventory and what's supposed to be there.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: How come there are a few bottles of wine missing?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So upon reviewing the CCTV footage, they realized this lady
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: was responsible. So the next time she stepped in the
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Sheng Seong store at Punggol, staff were alerted and they went, OK, ma'am,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: did you pay for everything already? And the lady goes, Yes,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I did. But upon discovery, she took 3 more bottles
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of wine and tried to walk out of the store. So,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: there you go, and this has been Bri, Boto crime,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Bo crime.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Born a Crime at the perilous streets of Punggol. Earlier,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: we played you The Weekend, How Do I Make You
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Love Me? The Weekend's coming to Singapore, October 2nd, October 3rd.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Tickets go on sale very soon, so hopefully, you can
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: choose to go for the artist pre-sale, the visa pre-sale,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: maybe a Live Nation pre-sale. I'm very sure there's one
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: more pre-sale before it goes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Go to general sales. So all the best to you
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and hopefully for our friends over at Ticketmaster, they do
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: what they can to eliminate all the bots and scalpers.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: And then announced, I believe, yesterday, November 28th, Baby Monster
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: themselves will be coming back to Singapore at the indoor
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: stadium for their Cho World Tour. But here's the thing,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: if you missed it earlier around 6:00 a.m. I shared
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: this with you.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: On the very same day, November twenty-eighth, Le Seraphim are
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: also in town. Like that how?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: The, uh, Korean management of Baby Monster as well as
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Le Seraphim clearly did not plan this, but let's see,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: because here in K-pop, at least in Singapore, K-pop fans
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: might be divided between do we go for Le Seraphim
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: or Baby Monster in our house. So, let us know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: The sooner or later we get details about where Le
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Seraphim and what time they are performing, we'll let you
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: know here on 987. When we come back, how about
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: some food news coming your way? If you love pizza,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Today is your final day to try this collaboration, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: there's actually a very nice story to how this collaboration
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: came about. It involves two friends who used to work
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: together a long time ago when they were kids. And
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: let's try this. 123, food news. Food news. Joking with
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the good food news and OK, today is your last
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: day to try this. I apologize. I only found this
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: out about today as well.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm a huge fan of pizzas. If you didn't
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: know what's rated number 1 for Singapore's top-ranked pizzeria, it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Anto Pizza Apeittivi. Hopefully, I'm saying that correctly. It's over
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: at the Chinatown area, more specifically, number 2, Jia Chuan Road,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: They are actually having a collaboration with Hong Kong's number
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: one pizza spot as well, Fiata Pizza, and things you
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: can try, it's the Bronte 5.0, it's the Provola Ipepe
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: and Origini Roboante. Hopefully again I'm saying this correctly, but
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: here is the touching story.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: The chefs for Anto Pizza at Eretivi, it's chef Antonio Brancato,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and for Fiata Pizza, it's chef Salvatore Sasa Fiata.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Both of them actually used to work together a long
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: time ago in Italy when they were younger, and maybe
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: somewhere down the line they said, hey, you know what?
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna open the #1 pizza spot in Hong Kong.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna open the #1 pizza spot in Singapore, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: when this happens, we do a collab together. So, today
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: is the last day. I'm not too sure whether you
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: reserve or is it walk-ins, you can try. Again, it's
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: at number 2 Chiak Chuan.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Room and the collaboration service happens from 7 p.m. to
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: 10:00 p.m. provided there are seats left for you, and
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you can even try a House of Negroni pop-up by bartender,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Giancarlo Mancino. There you go. All the best and hopefully
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: you enjoy. I was just on a website research for
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: this year's Summer Sonic Festival happening in Tokyo and Osaka.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: 14th, Friday in Tokyo, 15th of October, or rather August,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: 14th of August in Tokyo, 15th of August in Osaka.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And some of the artists that are slated to perform
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: for Summer Sonic, some of them are only performing in Tokyo.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So for example, if you want to see Jenny, you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: gotta make sure you get tickets for the Tokyo show.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: That's happening 14th of August. And some other names are
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: being added to the playlist. We got MGK, we got who?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: The likes of Robert who performed for Cloud Nine on Saturday.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: He shared with us on Monday when he was here
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: that he's performing for Summer Sonic as well. Loads of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: things available for you over at Summersonic.com and I really
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: hope by some miracle.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Miracle us at 987, we're able to fly two lucky
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: winners to Japan to enjoy Summer Sonic. I might want
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: to go just to catch The Strokes and Julian Casablanca
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Singh live in person. Well, and given how today is
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the 13th of May, we are less than a month
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: away to World Cup 2026. I'm excited and again, I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: said this in 2022. My pick to win this year's
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: World Cup, it's England.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: It's now or never for them, but I'm also having
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: a very hard time deciding the journey of Portugal, France,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: and Spain.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Because all four teams, England included, are stacked. So yeah,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: there you go. So, for every World Cup year, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: we've done this for World Cup 2018 and World Cup 2022,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: why not bring it back for World Cup 2026? Very soon,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be hearing Joakim's World Cup facts live.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: On 987, but I realized for the first two weeks
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: of June, I'll be away, so maybe I'll pre-record a
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: few things and I'll put it in the show and
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: shock Sonia with it. And when I come back live
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: on the show, it's, we'll be in the thick of
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: World Cup action. Every day, I'll do my best to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: deliver a different World Cup fact for you. So if
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you're still considering, should I sign up to watch every
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: single game? Um, look,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say the hours this year favor Singapore,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: but at least we are not staying up to watch
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the game. We are waking up early. Could be a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: 7:00 a.m. kickoff, could be maybe even a 10:00 a.m.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: kickoff or a 12:00 p.m. kickoff. So, I'm very sure.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Loads of offices here in Singapore might see people taking
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: last-minute MCs. It's OK. Just go to a random bar
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: at Boki. I'm sure you'll see your colleague over there
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: watching some of the big games because kickoff timings could
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: be what, 3:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and maybe
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: even 12:00 p.m. So it's gonna be the morning to
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the early afternoon hours of our time in the continent
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of Asia. So yeah, there we go.
