  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Good morning. The weekend
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is officially here. When is the next long weekend, ah,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: by the way?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: May 1st. That's Labor Day on a Friday.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: That's in like a week's time, is it? No, 2 weeks. No,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you're right. It's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: in a week's time. OK, looking forward to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: that. Well, Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Something's happening over the weekend here in Singapore. If you're
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: doing the music run. Oh, it's still
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: around. That's on Saturday, I believe. Do you know, fun fact,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I actually hosted some of the first few editions of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the music run like years ago. I was still quite
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a new host back then on 1987.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We didn't, we didn't. We did something else together. I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: think it was a Puma run or something. I Ilumi run, yeah,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we did a night run, yeah, Ilumi run. There were
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of these smaller fun runs back then. Music
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: run was very memorable for me. Let me tell you why, OK.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Wasn't my fittest at that point. In fact, have I
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: ever really been fit? I don't know.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: But I was way less fit than uh than I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: am now, OK, back then. So I co-hosted with their
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: traveling host. So you know, some runs like even previously
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: what was the Stantrap marathon, um, they did have a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: traveling host with them that's permanent throughout all. You might
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: remember him for
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: SG marathon, shout out to Mr.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So, um.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: From Music Run, there was a guy as well. His
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: name escapes me right now, but we had so much
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: fun hosting together. Uh, did way more than what we
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: were tasked to do because it became like a clubbing thing,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: you know, after everyone finished the run, right? After everything wrapped,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and I went home, that was my first time hosting
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: such an intense type of program. Dude, I, the moment
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I stepped into my house, right, my mom, I was
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: still living with my parents back then.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I literally just collapsed to the ground and sat there
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: because I think the lactic acid buildup, the lactic acid
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: buildup on my legs was so intense that I couldn't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: even move my legs after, and my mom just looked
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: at me like, what happened now
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: lah? Hey, by the way, it's sold out, yeah, so
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: 25th of April F1 pit building. Have a great night.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: And I think it's running 5 km and then the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: party after that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the beat that's happening tomorrow, so I'm glad to hear
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that it's still around.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Friday, it's a public holiday, so count down as you would. Yes,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: yeah, I mean, um, I don't have any special plans whatsoever,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: although I believe that for some of my friends they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: trying to convince me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: To play paddle on like the 1st of May. That's OK. Yeah,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they're like, because a lot of the paddle places have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: become really social and they've like food, drinks, like, like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: playing music, like it's a club, you know, kind of thing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So I don't mind.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: So I was running by the Formula One pit building
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: yesterday and I saw that the T100 meta sprint series.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They're setting up all the tentage and the barricades already.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: what is that? Some race
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: triathlon
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: triathlon, and, and it's one of the triathlons to do. OK.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So I think we've got the Singapore version happening this weekend.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So all the best to all triathletes. Make sure you
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: listen to your body, and I'm very sure you could
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: be on your taper cycles right now.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: How
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: do
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we do? How do you do 3 things, man?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people are just built differently.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So wait, so is it cycling, running, swimming? You swim
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: first swim first.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Then where do they swim then you run the Singapore
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: River could be the Singapore River. Oh,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: so it's not confirmed like where they are swimming.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It should be there.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They will never swim in a pool or anything, right?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It be like an open water situation swim
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: pool. Just checking, swimming pool, so not so
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: bad. Honestly, if I could swim, I would have tried
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: one in my lifetime.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: But knowing that it's a Singapore River, I don't know
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: whether I want to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: jump.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that's true.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You can watch him attempting to swim on 987 Socials.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Scroll back quite a little bit, but that video kind
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of popped off. Yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: because of you in a bikini, not me, dude,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I was barely seen in the bikini at all. It
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was you. We'll catch Robert in Singapore very soon, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: also I believe we may be able to have a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: chat with him prior to Media Cloud 90, that's what
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I heard from some of our people here in the studio.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: If you're having a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: chat with him, can we milk it and get him
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to sing us a few songs? I mean, I always
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: found the notion of bringing singers into our studio they
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: got to sing at least
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: one song he does do some of his own content
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on socials like he just sings and stuff. So hopefully, yeah. Anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: coming up in just a little bit, a headline that
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just made me laugh and face palm and think of you, Joe. OK.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Only one portion of this headline made me think of you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: You want to hear it?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I know what it involves.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: The look on your face I know already because I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: was reading the very same article on my way
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It involves crows. Yes, I knew it. Can I please
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: read the headline out in just a few minutes? I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: can burst out laughing. OK. And this headline just cracked
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: me up this morning. OK. I think it's a bit
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of um.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's a bit of false advertising, but let me just
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: tell you what the headline said, OK? 3 crows attack
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: balding men outside Chinatown complex. Not men, men, men. Expert
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: says it might be due to a grudge against bald men.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, what? This is a clickbait for sure.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It's rich bait. It's rich bait, OK.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: What did your dad do?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: What did Papa do?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Man's hardly at Chinatown, so he's safe. Yeah, but I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just really just cracked me up because, OK, there is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a logical explanation for this, but I think the way
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that this publication wrote it was quite funny lah. Maybe
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: they just found the humor in it, you know, um,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: but more than 10 people have been attacked around the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: same area in a week. Most of them are bald
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: or thin-haired men, OK.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I know, unfortunately, this was in the article. So, according
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to experts, they say it's probably because um the reflection
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of their heads makes it quite shiny and it attracts
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the crows, you see. So they immediately swoop down and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I guess some somehow attack them.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Um, but that's the logical explanation. So the way that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it was phrased, a grudge against bald men, I just
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: thought it was
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: hilarious.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: OK, it's not your dad, what did?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: What happened? Careful, you're gonna be in his next comedy sketch.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Time to open up phone lines. 669-11987. This is your
• 6:32

  Speaker 1: Yes, see you soon, OK? Thank you. lonely girl, taking
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: us back to our teenage years.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Not just us, but hey, Billie Eilish, her latest Instagram post.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It's a carousel post of all her Justin Bieber fandom days.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So cute.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I've never guessed. I mean, if you just look at
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Billie Eilish as Billie, and you listen to her music,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I don't really hear much of Justin Bieber like inspiration there.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, like indie artists maybe even, yeah, but that's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: so cool of her, honestly. And I can't believe that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: she got her moment. I can only imagine how she
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: felt because she was crying. Well done to Hailey Bieber. Anyway, um,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this is interesting, and I feel like Singapore should learn
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit from our friends across the causeway when
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it comes to employment. OK.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Over at several Shell stations in Malaysia, they seem to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have hired some cats, Joakim.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I'm talking cats, like, yeah, oh.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So, this, uh, these photos have gone viral because these
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: cats are not only seen very often at Shell stations
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: over in Malaysia. They've got uniforms now lah. They gave
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the cats a shell shell station uniform. Can I ask
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: what do the cats do, right? What do they do?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Good question. Um, one of them was seen taking a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: poop in the uniform.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: During working hours, um, others are ready to greet you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: at the, at the entrance, I guess, but I, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: feel like these are just cats that have already been
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: there and they love sticking around the station. People take
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: care of them and all. So I guess they decided,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: why not put them to work, you know, that's how
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I feel about my family dog, Maxi. I'm like,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: get to work,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: sis. They're getting paid for doing nothing,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much, maybe just
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: like some humans here in Singapore.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Come on, let's be honest.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Very savage. It's only 7:14 in the morning, but it's true.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Savage but true.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Am
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I lying? OK,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: OK. OK, so an AirAsia video, a video, it's more
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of like a passenger film this whole thing happening on
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: board an AirAsia
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: flight
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: type of video.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: It's gone viral and it's now unintentionally become a Visit
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Malaysia ad. How, how, how?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: What happened was on a flight from Chongqing to KL,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and again, sometimes the stereotype gets proven correct. OK. There
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: was a lady on board who was talking very loudly
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: on her phone. So obviously this will annoy a few passengers, right?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So I think one other passenger filmed her in the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: act of talking very loudly on the phone. She got angry,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: started to throw a tantrum. The air steward.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Spoke to her in English. She got angrier.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Speak in Mandarin. Oh, she doesn't. We are in Chongqing, OK,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: she doesn't understand English or she's just being difficult.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I think she did not understand English.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: So she, her, her temper got worse in order to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the point where the Chongqing police were on board
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the flight.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Wait, what? That's the whole flight delayed lah. I'm sure,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: yeah. And then what you see is this very patient lady.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: She could be a.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Ground crew of the AirAsia staff, right, and she was
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: just next to the lady who was throwing a tantrum,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: holding her hand, nodding her head, saying, yes, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I understand, I understand. And the lady who's so angry
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: kept saying that, no, how come y'all cannot speak Mandarin,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I, I admit, yeah, I've been talking on
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the phone a bit too loudly, but because the announcement
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: for the, um, the flight takeoff happened in English, and
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you know that you're supposed to not use your phone
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: during takeoff, right?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: And then the angry lady says, I'm also an air
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: stewardess on board a different airline. That's why the comment
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: section are going, if you're an air stewardess, you would
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: know you cannot use your phone before you take off
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: or when they announce it, right?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, OK, but that being said, um, that's quite interesting
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: because I noticed like, you know, every time, let's say
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: we travel to different countries that have
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Different mother tongues, right, or different languages. Typically, they will
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: have like at least one or two crew members that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: can speak the language. So I am curious, like, why
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: was there no one on board that could speak Mandarin
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and to try and appease her? I mean,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: different carriers, for example, if you fly Qatar Airways, for example,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they will have the announcement in their language.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: And then the other language that maybe from the country
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: they're flying from, right? Yeah
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and English whatsoever.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And I think for quite a few, especially for the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Middle East airlines, some of them actually pride themselves in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: being polyglots, like they can speak at least 34 languages,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: People are saying, OK, now I want to go to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Malaysia because all the other passengers on board the plane,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the plane were watching the whole thing and smiling and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: just recording the whole thing as well. Yes, they say, Well,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Malaysians are chill, man.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Very chill, yeah, yeah, man. We, we love it. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: think you and I are due a trip to Malaysia
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: soon actually, if you ask me. You know what, we
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: haven't been together.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: We haven't traveled overseas for anything together at all throughout
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: our careers. The first and only time we
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Would you call that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: an overseas trip?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was still out of Singapore. I got
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the message on my phone like, welcome to Malaysia. Welcome
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to wherever. But honestly,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you and I are like a circuit to somewhere
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: around the world. So if we,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: OK, let's say if we do plan a road trip
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: or something to Malaysia, like who's gonna drive us?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Take turns.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: We take turns to drive.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Why are you scared?
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm an OK driver. It's the parking I need help with.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: OK, so you take the long distance. Then when it
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: comes to parking, you wake me up, OK.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: 87 secret.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Good
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: morning.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: This is
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Jack. Hello
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Jack, what's going on for you today? How's your weekend looking? Yeah, good.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: What are you doing over the weekend?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Uh,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: badminton, playing badminton. And Jack, if you win $9000 what's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: going to happen to all that money? Oh, I have
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: no idea
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: yet. OK, well, you think about it if you win
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the $900
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: OK first, think later.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Alright, now listen very carefully. Here's the sound
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you have to identify.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Jack, for $9000 what's the secret sound? The sound of Metronome.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You are incorrect.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Your
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: chance
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to play
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: 987's
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: secret sound.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: That sound.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Jack, I didn't even need to text boss Janice because
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: metronome has been said many times. It is not the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: correct answer. You got to tune to every show,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: OK? Yeah, keep trying, Jack. Have a good weekend. Enjoy badminton.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: enjoy. Bye.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: About to open up phone lines right now. Come, what's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the tea? So why do you always assume that I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have some sort of tea?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: You're the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: one
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: with all the tea.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: That's the only reason why you're friends with me, right?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: just show up and give you my opinion. Like no
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: one asked for, like any other Singaporean podcast, like
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: any other Singaporean bro.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I pity the bros because, you know, they don't
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: have much tea in their lives, right? They always depend
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: on their female friends or partners, you know.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: OK, when I watch male-driven podcasts like Diary of a CEO,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the host so calm. Like, tell us more about your life.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Tell us more about this situation. Women podcast.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It's like hit me up.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Tell me
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: more. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: we're unhinged. Um, a bit different like that one he's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: really interviewing some.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: People up there, you know, that's quite true actually. Anyway, uh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: just happening tonight, one of my very close friends, uh,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: hey Natasha, who moved back to Singapore not too long
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: ago from New Zealand actually, yeah. So she's based here
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: now and she's celebrating her birthday soon, but we wanted to,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: since we all aligned that tonight we have a free night,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a free date for dinner. She has requested since
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: She's been away from Singapore for too long. She wants
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to go to Hai Tilauo and experience the whole birthday
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: thing there.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I'm also free tonight, by the way.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, hello, this one, my friends. OK. Hello,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I know your friends. I'm gonna be seeing them real soon,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and this is the 2nd Hai Tilau you're having
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: of
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the year without me. OK, I want to complain. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: knew I was going to get myself into some trouble
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: talking about this.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So anyway, what these are my schoolmates. So anyway, we said, sure, OK,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: let's go. So then I texted, I said, OK, I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: think we need to make um a reservation because you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: know the way Haitilla reservations work is that even though
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you reserve, you still got to go down and make
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: sure that you get your number, right?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm guessing you gave the call.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I did. I gave the call in Mandarin, yes, and then.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: OK, so then, um, I texted my, my, the birthday girl.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, um, will your husband be coming? OK.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: She just got married like 2 years ago. Congratulations. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: then I said, will your husband be coming? And then
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: she replied, she said, Sansa, uh, he says he will
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: go if germs goes.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I know exactly how your friend's husband feels.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, because it is a birthday dinner, right?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: So naturally you would assume that the partner will come.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So that that that that's why I burst out laughing.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I texted Germ, who initially wasn't invited because I thought
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it was a girls thing, um, and I said, Jerm,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: are you free for to come or not because your,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: your presence has been requested by Natasha's husband.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And he goes, OK, OK, OK, OK, sure.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, germs Natasha's husband a favor.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Germs should say no. He's not free,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: so
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: can stay home and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: rest, yes, and you can have your girly catch up.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Look, I don't know because I guess her husband wants
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to come, so he does like Heidi Lao. He does
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: like Heidi Lao, so he said he'll go if germs goes. But,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: but I think back and if germs don't go, he's
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: not gonna go lah. It's a bro support system, is it?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: What's going on here? So
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: now Germs
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and this guy sit through
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and but they can talk together now. So that's the thing.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I realized that there were moments where her husband has
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: joined us, you know, for certain meetups like spontaneously, like
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: drinks or whatever.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And the poor dude sometimes just looks lost, you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: because he's just sipping on his beer, staring into space.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: He doesn't know what's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Can I be honest with you? I'm exactly like yours. OK,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I wanna give an example, for all these media events
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I get invited to my first question to my manager is,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: is Sonia?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: If Sonia is not
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: going, I'm not going.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Is Sonia hosting or going because if she's there, I'll
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: feel comfortable because I know like I have my safety,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: safety blanket.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm a very small safety blanket. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: hate to admit this to you, but yeah, I'm the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: tiniest safety blanket
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: ever.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: So my manager will tell me, oh, So's not going.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, OK, I'm not free.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I know you too well. Yeah, I mean, and sometimes
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: she will tell me, you know, she say, Hey, Joe
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: said he don't want to go because you don't want
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: You, you know me, if I'm not hosting a media
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: event or anything, I don't want to go. Like socializing
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: really isn't
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: my strongest.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I get you. I get you. I don't think you're alone.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: on that. Um, give us a call 669-11987 or drop
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: us a WhatsApp message, 900509-87. Do you sometimes find yourself
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in this situation as well? Like, for example, at a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: work event, if your favorite friend at the office is
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: not going, you're not gonna go. Or maybe in your
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: social circle, if you go, I go. You don't go,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I don't go.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Very Singaporean way of saying it, but it's, you know
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: what I mean.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Let
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: us know. 669-11987 or WhatsApp us at 90050987. If we
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: do like your answer, what's coming your way, of course,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a dining experience, the Estate Restaurant over at Hilton Singapore Orchard.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: This one must go,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: seriously,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: this one we've heard so many great raving reviews about it.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: We're talking about our social habits, OK. Um, just recently, uh, my,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: my friends and I were arranging a birthday dinner for
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: one of my close friends from Poly, and it's happening tonight,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to which I was in charge of the booking and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I asked her like, hey, um, will your husband be coming?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And she messaged me privately. She said, he said he
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: will go with Germs goes.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: To which Joakim said he can relate 100%. Like, sometimes
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you just need that person that you feel comfortable with
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: or like someone that you are socially, you know, it
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: makes you socially less awkward.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Someone who can bring out your social side. Yeah, so I,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I know for sure that her husband and germs are
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: going to just be in one corner talking about men
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: things or whatever they talk about, and the rest of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: us are going to be yapping. What do they talk about?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: No sports. I think they talk a lot about sports
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and American football.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And all that stuff. So that's the, that's the boy corner. OK,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: just two
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Jeremy is the only Asian guy I know that actually
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: owns an actual American football.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, like the literal football,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: rugby balls don't count, but the actual football, he's the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: only Asian guy I know that owns one. Yeah,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: he likes it a lot, Jeremy. But anyway, yeah, so
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: we decided to open up phone lines and messages as
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: well to find out from you.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been in those social situations or you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: have that one friend that's like, you go, I go.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: If you don't go, I'm not going.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: By the way, you're that friend for me. Oh yes,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I know. Want to say good morning to James. Hey guys,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I used to be like this, always looking for a
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: colleague to join me for that meeting or seminar. Sooner
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: or later it came to a point that I had
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to go, if not lose my opportunity to get in
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: more business for the company. So it's not really worth
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: it to lose income, business for my comfort. OK, this
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: one is different. If there's income involved or.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Opportunity to network. I'm there because it's very important for
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: our line of work as well. I think just,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you just don't have the mental capacity for other kinds
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of socializing.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm just tired.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. No, I, I realized something. Sometimes when like
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it's Friday night or something, and if both of us
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: are just kind of out, occasionally you might drop me
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a message saying, hey, what, what, what are you doing, right?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And sometimes I'll reply you, Oh, I'm going to this party,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and your first question is always, who's going?
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed this, but that's always
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: one of your first questions. Who's gonna be there?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Because if it's a party with, you know, the media crowd,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be there. But if it's like
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: your personal friends who I love as well, I'm there.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I'll do a shot or
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: two with you guys.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So I already know that I have to list the names,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: then see if we are good enough for to come
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: or not.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Don't say that, hey.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Anytime I'm
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: there.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Uh, keep, keep your messages and your calls coming through 669-11987. Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Do you find yourself in situations where you are, you know,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you and your friends are like, you go, I go.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: If you don't go, I also don't want to go.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Let us know. I know it's a very Singaporean
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: way
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of phrasing.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Why does this sound like the Titanic? You jump, I jump. No,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: hey.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Let us know if you find yourself in these situations.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: In exchange, the final dining experience worth $100 to Hilton
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Hotels Estate. It's a beautiful place. Talking about your, um,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: how would I call this, your social support system, OK?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Whether or not you're the kind of person that will
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: rely on a good friend showing up or your favorite
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: person at work showing up, then you decide to go
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to a
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: gathering or events. Yeah,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: we
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: have an anonymous texter coming in. Morning soldier, maybe keep
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: me anonymous today. OK,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: sure,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: sure. Um, how about the other way? They go, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: don't go. Oh, or in a corporate setting, if the
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: management goes, I don't want to go.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of excuses Anonymous will
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: make. Sometimes we cannot be ourselves if they are there.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong about that, that's for sure. I mean, I,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I think that we're all guilty of making up some
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: excuse at least once in our lives to avoid like
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: being in the same room with certain people. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: mean, look, I don't mind saying this Thursdays.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Tuning in. She knows, yeah, yeah, but it doesn't mean
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: you need to reiterate it on air for
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: 987, right? If Sonia isn't there, wow, damn damn boring.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, you just have to survive one hour. That's one
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: hour in a week, man. Like,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: yeah, so whenever every Thursday you're going, you're going, ah, OK, dude,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: if we are already here, obviously we're going. There ain't
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: no choice about it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Keep the calls coming in over at 669-11987.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have on the line. What about you, Rena? Yes,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I do. Tell us more. Alright, usually, um, when I
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: want to go somewhere, uh, like a party, I'll make
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: sure that my friends are there.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Especially my buddy, so that you know we, we are
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: like hm OK, we have a, we have someone whom
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: we know. I mean you sound exactly like at this
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: point so
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: safe to say if they don't go, you won't go
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: kind of then I feel like
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: very
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: reluctant, uh, I dropped the, the, the idea of
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: going.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: What would your excuse be?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Uh, say, oh, sorry, uh, I'm held out somewhere or,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: or somehow I got to attend to my kids or
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: things like this, you know, that's a very lame excuse.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So blame the children,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: but
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: aside from attend to my kids, yes, I'll use the, oh,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I got held up somewhere, or my shoot overrun. Oh
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: my God. Now I know already. Now I know when
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Joim says that he just don't feel like going. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: won't say it to you. I can be honest with you. No,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: but I will know that if you say that in
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a group chat. Yes.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: So don't sample me. Last couple of messages here and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: uh one more phone call coming
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: through.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: OK, this one is involving the phrase, you go, I go. Yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you don't go, I also don't go. Super Singaporean,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I know. I want to say good morning to Sri,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: who says, blessed morning, Sojo. I live with the clingiest
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: husband unknown to mankind. He can sit and entertain anyone
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: who comes home for hours without straining himself, but when
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it comes to going out for social events, he cannot
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: go anywhere without me. Oh no. Can you believe it?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Even
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: For funerals, even if it's for his best friend, he cannot.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Once his aunt, his dad's sisters passed on, I was unwell.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Told him to go and I'll turn up for the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: 16-day prayers. He replied, maybe I'll pass him some money
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: for the funeral expenses. I scolded him but ended up
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: going with him. He's so uncomfortable in any setting without me.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I love traveling. He travels to China frequently for work,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: to a point I'm so sick of China now. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: go there almost every month. He needs to get checked. Wow, 3.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Really a scathing, a scathing review of the husband.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I bet she was typing while he was next to her.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: She's like, you see, you see.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Jessie is on the line. What about you, Jessie? I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: have too many experiences with this already. Like, uh, me
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: and my friend, we always check with each other whenever
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: we need to go for like networking events. So, so
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the question is, if they are not going, will you
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: still go if it's a networking event related to work? No,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: definitely not.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: How
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: are you?
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: But I know how Jessie feels. Yeah, I'm not
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: very good at,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you know, small talk.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I think Joki can relate the whole topic of you go,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I go, you don't go, I also don't go in
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: a very Singaporean way. You need your social support system.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: That's
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: how you know you have a bestie for life.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, not by choice.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: So your wedding, you go, I go,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you're hosting the dinner, you better be there.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, Joe has no idea who I sat
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: him with. I'm just gonna make it a surprise.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: See, I see the anxiety on his face.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: This is giving me so much joy.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Jungon, is
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: it your wedding?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry lah. No, no such thing.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Anyway, for today's winner, I want to give it to
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: JT who shared about his army story.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: JT.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. Uh, what a nice story, to be honest,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: right? Long story short is, uh, before the OCS commissioning parade, uh,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: JT's platoon mate was made to run the entire parade square,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: and JT said, Hey guys, want to join him? All went. Yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: no, but initially, uh, I guess army bestie said, if
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you go, I go. Yeah, correct. Yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: there you go.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And slowly, gradually they all joined.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: So JT, I don't know if you can.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: If you can bring everyone to Estate Restaurant, maybe take
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: one or two besties and bring them with you to
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Hilton Singapore Orchard Estate Restaurant where they have a brand
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: new Sunday champagne social brunch.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Honestly, it sounds so delicious, so good. We really hope
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you enjoy yourself over there. And like Joki mentioned throughout
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the week as well, they launched their new Sunday social
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: champagne brunch.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a very expensive taipo was made.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Shared by a TikToker I guess. What's the context in
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the Singaporean space, you know, those old school bakeries, like
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: sometimes you need buy a hot dog bun or what
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it costs you one-fifty. So and you know the pay
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: wave function where sometimes the price might be displayed on
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the new machine, the newer machines. The older ones, they
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: don't have the screen there yet, so you must look
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: at the cacher numbers and all that to make sure
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: they key in the correct amount.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: So this lady, I think she was in a bit
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: of a rush as with all Singaporeans. So the moment
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: the price amount was keyed in, by the way, the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: hotdog bun was $1.50 OK.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's like a split second happening. She waved. She pay waved,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: but the moment she tapped her paywave device, the casher
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: auntie went, Hey, yeah, I key in wrong amount.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: What did
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: she key
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: in?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: $4,801.50.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: How
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: did
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: 4000 come about? Exactly. So the comment section is going,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: how did the numbers 48?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be like 15 150 or 1500.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, um, apparently the
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: story is the casha auntie scold the TikToker. Oh my
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: God you tap so
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: fast?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Bro, if there's anything that we learned when it comes
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: to our Singaporean aunties and uncles, it will always be
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: our fault somehow.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: now this TikToker is saying, will they refund in cash
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: or will they refund me in store credit.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Well, how many hot dog
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: buns is
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: No, this one,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: refund. So, the bank can do a refund,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: called the bank to the merchant,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the merchant refunds through the bank. Can they do that?
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Because they can credit it back to your credit card.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: So I don't renew the process, but I'm crossing my
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: fingers for this lady that she gets her
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: money back.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: She will it becomes such public information anyway, so it's
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a very expensive hot dog bun will be delicious, man. OK,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: time for some food news. Here we go. How do
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I sing it? I guess it's a good thing for
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: some people who
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: love this.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Some people only, 12.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: 23 food news, food news. Sonia with the good food news.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Give it to us, Ms. Chu. So earlier
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: this year, I would say there was a bit of
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: back and forth when it came to this particular um store, OK.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You would have noticed that Lady M that was here
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: in Singapore for the longest time, remember they had that
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: big um
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Flagship store over at, was it 313 Orchard Central? I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can't remember which side it was on, but I think
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it was Orchard Central. Yeah. They had like a few floors,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong, right, it was very big at
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: one point. We closing. Exactly. So they announced that they
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: were exiting Singapore, but there was a bit of an
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: indication that maybe this isn't goodbye forever. So don't worry,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: we might make a comeback. Seems like that was pretty
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: fast because Lady M has reopened in Singapore. Yeah, they've reopened.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: And um they've returned with new menu items, and two
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: more outlets will be opening by the end of June.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So I don't really know how come they, how they
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: sprung back up so fast. Maybe someone else, you know, um,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: funding them. I'm not sure whether it's the same group
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: that's working with them here in Singapore, but
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: The good news is they're dropping their price a little bit. So, um,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I think the consensus was that certain things are getting
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: too expensive here in Singapore. I have to agree. Um,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I used to buy Lady M cakes as well, like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: let's say for my friend's birthday or what, you know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: sometimes we're assigned the task to go and get a
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: cake and we'll go get a slice or something because
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: we're like, guys, don't order the whole cake. I think
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it's not feasible and like nobody wants to carry the
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: cake home, right? So we just get a few slices
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and I noticed like, wah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Some of these meal crepe cake slices can be like
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: $15 for one slice, really expensive, and it ranges, right?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: So the basic 1 may be like $12 or $13
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and then the fancier ones that have like champagne, jelly
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: or whatever it's like $15.16 dollars, even maybe even higher sometimes.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: So what's going to happen is their prices will officially
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: start from $11.80 now compared to the previous price of
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: $12 or $13.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Lady at this point.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Sounds like that ex-boyfriend or girlfriend you had that said, OK,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you know what, I need some time
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: off for a while I'm gonna work on
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: myself.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, I want to work on my issues, and they
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: actually did, and they came back and they're not your
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: wife or
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: husband.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I know, yeah, so new items on the menu include, um,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: things like sponge cakes, tarts. They even have savory options
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: like soups and like small bites and stuff. So I
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: think they're hoping to expand their menu. New flavors include
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: a strawberry blossom meal crepe cake, um.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: And I think there's a taro Mochi cream cake as well,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: so a bit more Asian.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I might have missed this. Did you say where they reopen? Yeah, so,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: um, they are opening over at the Jewel outlets and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: they've got two more outlets they haven't announced just yet.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: So I think it will open by June if I'm
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: not wrong. So
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the first thing tourists or returning Singaporeans might see at
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Terminal at Jewel.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: yeah. So, um, hey, all the best, and I'm sure
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna get some new fans very soon. Let's see.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: They all be doing the same thing.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Booking tickets to fly to Jakarta, Indonesia.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: When? Which part of the year?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Never said when yet, OK, but it's guaranteed it will happen.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Rap fans.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Is it like a new age artist? Not exactly or
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: like an OG type of artist? One veteran.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Find out who this person is who could potentially be
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: performing in Jakarta, Indonesia in just a bit here on
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Not stopping by Singapore. No. Oh man, OK.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna predict something here, right? I would not be
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: surprised if a lot of Singaporean rap fans, maybe Malaysian
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: as well, Thai rap fans, we could all be doing
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the same thing, booking tickets to fly to Jakarta, Indonesia.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: When? Which part of the year?
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Never said when yet,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: OK,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but it's guaranteed it will happen.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Rap fans.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Is it like a new age artist? Not exactly like
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: an OG type of artist?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: One would call him an OG already.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: OK, like a veteran in the business.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Find out who this person is who could potentially be
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: performing in Jakarta, Indonesia in just a bit here on
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: the show. Not stopping
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: by Singapore. No. Oh man, OK, I'm taking you to Jakarta.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: As of two nights ago, I think hip hop fans
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: and R&B fans here in Singapore.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe even Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, around the region. We could
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: all be marking a certain month or whatsoever down because
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: announced at his own concert or listening party a few
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: nights ago, Kanye West. Yay has teased a concert in Jakarta,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Indonesia. Yay has spoken. I mean, I'm not sure if
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you still remember some of this. I'm sure you do.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: But for our listeners, you know, like we haven't played
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: a song in a very long time.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not loving,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: not
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: bad. I mean, look, the whole 808 and Heartbreak was
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: auto-tune and all that. Yes,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: but he trended it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did. So whatever you feel about Yay as
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: the person, as a musician, I love him. I know
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I think he listens to music like no one else does,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: but
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he's just controversial.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Controversial.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: He, yeah, he's, he's been through an interesting time of
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: his life.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: So no date, no month announced as of yet, but
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: he did promise, Jakarta
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: soon. I, um, I actually drove past, this was in
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: LA if I'm not wrong. He has that Sunday service thing, right,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: or had that Sunday. What was it called? It was
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: like a church looking thing.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know, was it a church service?
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Jesus is Lord I'm not wrong.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: OK. So was it really tied to religion or was
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: it just like a stylized
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: last I heard there was a bit of a controversy
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: there because apparently the choir that he hired, the choir,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: he hasn't paid them yet. Yeah, so I'm wondering whether
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: after a few years, he finally paid them
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: or so. I mean, yeah, I'm sure they were a
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: big part of the show as well, right.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll, we'll keep an eye on it and here's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: hoping that um maybe there'll be some sort of way
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to get you there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: So now here's
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: my question for you. Do we go for The Strokes
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: in Japan or do we go for West? But
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: don't know when Kanye West is playing. They haven't announced
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the date, right, or the month. They haven't even announced
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: it for both.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: In
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: this economy.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Music station. I really love her so much. Would love
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to catch her live one day, to be honest. So
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, whether you're doing the music run or
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the T100 meta sprint, all the best to you and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: as always, listen to your body.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: If you're
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: not doing either of those like me, also listen to
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: your body. Yes,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: go and
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: enjoy it.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, um, it will be a good one. On that note,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: we're gonna hand you over to Nick and we'll catch
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: you tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.
