• 0:54
  Speaker 2: or school or gym or whatever it is early in

  Speaker 2: the morning, and you have like 6 to 8 minutes
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to spare, log on to Media Corp's Entertainment YouTube channel
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and check it out. Um, got a couple of friends
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: just laughing and saying they put it on, on YouTube,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: on their televisions because it's their new series that they're
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: going to follow and it's a short episode. Each app is,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you know, not, not anything more than 8 minutes, so very,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: very easy to watch. Check it out. Let me know.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I believe it's called Countdown to I do, and if
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you want, you just, I mean, I guess search my
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: name up if you can't, yeah, can't otherwise recall the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: title of the show.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm here with a huge smile on my face.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I noticed you want to share with our listeners why
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you're so happy.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Favorite team beat our rivals 3-2, but I'm well aware
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it was a very weakened Liverpool side. But for Manchester United, yeah,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we love to make things very hard for ourselves.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: We were leading 2-0 in the first half, and in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the second half, within the 1st 7 to 8 minutes,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: two mistakes, two mistakes. It's all it took for Liverpool
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to equalize 2-2.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that that they shouldn't have been able
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: OK. There was one where I'll show you the video
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in a while. You, you were even ask me what's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the keeper doing? You would even ask me that question.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Then up steps Kobe Manu to make it 3-2. Kobe,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Kobe Manu. Kobe Kobe, yes.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You said it wrong first. I'm just following.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Hello, it's 6:20 a.m. I'm having lack of sleep as usual,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but I'm happy. Let's get the show on
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the road.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I was just, I was just telling Joakim that like, um,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, sometimes we want to do a video based
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: on whatever the score is, right.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it's not so fun when you win.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Happy Star Wars Day. I'm very excited today because I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: can say this, but I cannot reveal my thoughts on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the clip. So later on tonight, I think I'll be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: catching an exclusive thirty-minute preview of the Mandalorian and Grogu.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But we got loads of activities happening over at Shore
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Lido area as we build up towards the movie's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: release.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: When is the movie releasing actually?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I think in about
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: 2 weeks.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised they didn't try to make it by 4th
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of May.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: think this week in cinemas, Mortal Kombat
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: 2. You have to see the
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: film. I, I am, I'm really excited too, but first, um,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going with my girlies for The Devil Wears Prada.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: So, so that first, that first, and then there's only
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that many movies I can squeeze in in one week.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a bit
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a movie for us. So you know what, when we
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: come back here on the show, let me prep you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: for the Mandalorian and Gro as well as Mortal Kombat 2. Wait,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: what's actually what era is it in now? Like The
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Mandalorian and Grogu, it's a follow-up, direct follow up from
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: The Mandalorian, the series, right? OK, OK, just to be clear,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: there's so many spinoffs.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: It's like, you know what I mean, like of the universe.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But I think Star Wars fans are relieved that it's
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: being directed and produced by people who did the television series,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: which is an amazing one to Star Wars.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I remember that. OK, so
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: if
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you're making plans to watch either Mortal Kombat 2 or
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: The Mandalorian and Grogu, that's happening May 21st for Mandalorian
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and Grogu, and for Mortal Kombat 2, it's out in
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: cinemas May 7th.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And as a Mortal Kombat gamer and fan since I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was 7, even though I should not have been at 7,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: too graphics, yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it's the kind of game where I'll play when my
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: mom's at work. The moment I hear the door open,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I'll switch off my game machine and run to my
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: room to Tom and Jerry or something Tom and Jerry.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Or whatever you watched back then, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: don't know. OK, not a spoiler because if you play
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat, the new version.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You will know that once you log into the game,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the game actually shows you a snippet of what you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: can expect in Mortal Kombat 2, the movie. It's a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: fight between Kong Lau, my favorite character of all time.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: That's the guy with the, the hat that slices people, right? OK,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Kong Lau and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Liu Kang.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And, OK, I can say this now. Having seen the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: movie already for an exclusive Warner Brothers screening, that fight in.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The film, it's fight of the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: movie legendary.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's beautifully done.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So, but it's all real, right? The fight sequence in
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the movie, yeah, it's real.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So I can say that Mortal Kombat 2, they say
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a good sequel. It's miles
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: better than Mortal Kombat 1.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Well that's good because I actually enjoyed Mortal Kombat 1.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: The character's
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: fight styles, Kung Lao's head, Liu Kang's fireball, everything.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's very, very accurate accurate
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to the game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So they gave the game a lot of respect.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I think that's the fear, right, for a lot of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: people who are big fans of like a book or
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a game or something that got adapted into a movie.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Like the fear is always like it doesn't live up
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to your imagination. And
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a small prediction. Adeline Rudolph, the actress
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that plays Princess Kitana, she's gonna steal
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the show
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and for Mandalorian and Grogu, you have about 2 weeks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: to go on Disney Plus and catch.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: All the seasons of it because the movie will be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a direct continuation from the series of Disney Plus.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I, yeah, yeah, clearly we have different tastes in films
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and movies. So I will definitely have to do a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: catch up again. I watched the Mandalorian one like ages ago,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: so a refresher is required. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: remember, Mandalorian and Grogu is set between Star Wars Episode
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: 6 and Star Wars Episode 7.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: In case you need to recap the er the timeline.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Lots to catch up on. I think 2026 set out
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to be quite a fantastic year for TV shows and movies.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Now we want to chase the Monday blues away for
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you by opening up phone lines and letting you give
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: your school a shout out.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, some schools are having their exams today. Oh, really?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What would this be considered? Is it like the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: midterm time already? No, right?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: What's the term for it now? Weighted assessments maybe.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the official, I mean, I wonder because sometimes
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you got mid-year exams, we have like.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: The prep towards the mid-year exams, so it could be
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: anything at this point. Let us know. Let us know
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: if you are experiencing that right now. The term a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: thing of the past. Um, well, give us a call
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: still regardless if you want to just wish your friends
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: good luck or tell us what's going on, 669-11987. Like
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we always say, it doesn't matter if you're in primary,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: secondary school, tertiary, university, or even an alumni. Let us,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: let us know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: What you have in mind.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: What's surprising is we had a couple of teachers had
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: 2
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: teachers so far, right? We might get more. So phone
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: lines are open once again, and you can also drop
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: us a message. We can read those out too, but
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: mainly we want to get your calls through. Once again. Morning.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Who's this? Ed. Ed Lin, was that your dad with you,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Ed Lin? OK. Ed Lin, which school are you from?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Let us know. Primary.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Nan
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Primary. This is the first time we're getting a Neon
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Primary submission.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Ed, what's amazing about Neon Primary?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The food, I guess,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: um, probably
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like the, the noodles from
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: stall 5. Stall 5. OK, take a note, joking.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: What level are you in this year Adeline. Are you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: having any exams right now as we
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: speak?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, this week I have left on Friday. We
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: want
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Dedicate a song to you to make sure that you
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: study hard and do well. What song can we get you?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Any song by Cat. Alright, we got you. That's coming
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: up right now. You have a fantastic day, OK?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Bye. Bye.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Bye. I am unsure whether this is should be categorized
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: under Bodo crime. Maybe it should be since we haven't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: done it in super
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: long.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: OK, so here we go. 123.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Bodo crime, Bo, Bodo.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Choose your adjective carefully. This time
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I was in Bishan. That's why Joakim is very defensive.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So give me
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the streets of Bishan.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Hey,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: no, let me tell you, this is a really bold crime.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: It's the minority spoiling the name, OK, any other location
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: here in
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Singapore. Don't get too defensive. Don't worry. No one got hurt,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: but people are frustrated, OK? Um, so you know how
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: some delivery people are very busy. They've got like truckloads
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of things to, to drop off, right?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And sometimes if they go to a particular block or estate,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: be it a HDB estate or a condo or whatever,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: there may be multiple orders from the same apartment block
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that have uh deliveries on the same day, correct? So
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the same delivery guy will pick everything up and then
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: he'll go floor by floor and just put it out.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: What happened was, um,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: This delivery man, quite poor thing also lah, he allegedly
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: left a bunch of parcels at the void deck while
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: rushing off to make other deliveries. So his intention was he,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he will leave it there and then he'll come back
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and get it while he's making the other deliveries, correct?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So once he's done, he'll come back and get it. Um, however,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: unfortunately for some residents in Bishan, they noticed some items
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: missing from their delivery packages.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: So this delivery man um has had to reimburse these
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: affected customers.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I know, I know. He had to, because it's his responsibility,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you know, to take care of the packages while he
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: was doing other deliveries, I guess. I know he was
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: probably trying to make it easier for himself by not
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: having to run back all the way to the vehicle
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: to offload the parcels, right? But um, he said that
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the reason why he left it there was because there
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: was a CCTV camera at the block. So he felt
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: like it was safe. No one's going to try and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: steal it or do anything funny with it. He also
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: sent photos and videos of the scene, you know, as evidence,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: The footage showed that multiple packages got torn open, um,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: some items were left scattered on the ground. So who's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the culprit that was doing that?
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: They have to find, they have to find out.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing the only way to go to the police
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they did. The courier company has launched an investigation.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I think a police report has been made. So we'll
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: see where it goes. I think the company itself is
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: assisting affected customers, even though, you know, these packages are
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: your e-commerce packages that are like, you know, you maybe
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: you buy like 20 to $30 worth of stuff, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: It it's still money. It's still items and you, you know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: even though they're getting reimbursed, they have to go through
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the process of reordering again. So
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: not too sure which company this is, but there are
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: others where they actually have delivery men pair up in
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: teams of two.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So one will arrange the packages and all that. The
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: other one goes up to make the delivery. There
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: we go. Yeah. So, I really hope that everyone who's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: been affected, including the delivery, you know, get a resolution
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: very
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: soon.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, having to reimburse out of your own pocket.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Buy a big ticket item painful, man. So,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: look, I mean, I, I'm no delivery person, but I
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: do sometimes receive things at my doorstep. Maybe I order
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: or things get sent over, right? So I did install
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: like a CCTV camera at my, like at my doorstep, um,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: thanks to my dad. He's very handy.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: He literally got it for I think 30 bucks or
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: something on Shopee, if I'm not wrong, installed it, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: there's a talkback function too. So if and when I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: see someone lurking around my doorstep, I can just press
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the button to talk back and be like, yes, can
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I help you?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's easier to find the culprit if it's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a condo because it's a gated community, right?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: But in terms of like your HDB where it's open
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to anyone,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it's, it's slightly different because it
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter if HDB is the same thing, just put
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it at your door, you know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Let's see Madonna. He'll be here in Singapore very soon
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: with Post Malone for the big.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: World tour anyway, um, yes, new fear unlocked, and this
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: is all caught on video which has since gone viral
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and even I think the authorities and Grab themselves are
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: looking into this because for the driver it comes from
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Grab unfortunately it's always the handful of bad apples that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: spoil the good name.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: This driver, the passenger was wondering why is the car
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a bit shaky,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: like swerving around,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and what was the driver touching on his right leg area?
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Touching his right leg. The passenger realized the driver was
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: watching an adult video
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: while he was
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: driving, yeah, on a second phone.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: What? Wait, was it visible to the passenger? what was
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on the screen, or if
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it wasn't visible, it was definitely audible.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Is he mentally OK, the driver? I mean, I don't
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: think that's normal behavior at all. Yeah, so I mean, even, OK, look,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: even watching a random YouTube video alone is enough for
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: you to be like, Hey, sir, can you, um, focus
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: on the road, you know what I mean? Let alone
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: an adult video. So
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: thankfully nobody was hurt, but there's an investigation going on now,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to which I'm just wondering,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it's just weird,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: like, investigate what it's there already.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess they have to verify whether it's true, yeah,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but as of now the driver has been suspended,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: yes, that's the best option. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: if you need a laugh this Monday morning, please go
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to the comment section. Oh
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: my
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: God,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: here we go.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Somebody was saying, Uncle, your car, why are you touching
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the gear.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And on the wrong side, ah, by the way. The
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: kale stick, it should be on the left.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: OK, so as of um the 1st of May, which
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: was Friday,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Labor Day, yeah,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: um, 987 Secret Sound has officially ended. Congratulations to our winner.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: If you're curious to know what the actual answer was, OK, I,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I extracted a little snippet. Here it is. The water filter,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: which is affixed at the tap, and then uh this
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: water filter has those kind of 3, it has 3
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: different modes. So as you flick the toggle between the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: 3 different modes, then, uh, that sound is created. OK,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: so he went on quite a long explanation, but basically,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: in short,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It's the switching of modes on a water filter.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I think
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he really went with the clues that were given out
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: over the last week or so to win $10,000.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And let's just have a quick listen, OK.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I do not have a water filter on the tap
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: or I'm assuming it's on the tap, is it? or
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: something at home. It's attached to it attached to it. OK,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: so I don't, I've never had that. So I did
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: not even guess that for a moment. I had no clue.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: If you need video evidence on what the sound is
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and even the actual recording itself, it's available for you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: on 987's Instagram and on TikTok.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And we assure you from start to end, nobody knew anything.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Boss Janice went to the grave.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: With the secret. Yes, she would have, yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: We had no idea what it
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: was.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: But thank you for playing along with us. So it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: officially over. Please enjoy the rest of our show.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Romance here in Singapore.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Yes. Anything you want to update us on? Nothing. Nothing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Nothing at all. Again,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I await the day
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I have updates. Again, my promise to you, Sonia, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to you if you tune in as well, given how
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it's been of a radio interest, my love life, especially
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: here on the show. Look,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: These are the kind of things where I don't want
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to be covered on Mothership or CNA, but for 987,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: if you're listening in, hey, it's my story.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You are here with us. Exactly. We share almost pretty
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: much everything about our lives.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So my promise is once there's something official, like we
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: are boyfriend girlfriend.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Friend, OK, then I'll share with you here on air, ah, yeah, yeah,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: dating scene all on it, OK, but, um, in Singapore,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, on the back of plenty of news about
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: our TFR, there's a new task force apparently. I don't
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: think they're calling it a task force, but yes, uh,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: many ministries combined and then.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: We saw this one, I think on Friday where our
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: friends over at GovTech. They were seeking feedback for visuals
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of a potential, potential dating service called first, hang on,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it's called? No, no, no, no,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: is it not called First Date?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: First Date, yes,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: right, yeah, yeah,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say first match.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: No date, yeah, I remember this, yeah,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: so where using SingPass, you log into it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You answer a questionnaire and then it will match you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to who they think is fitting for you.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And both of you go for the first meal sponsored
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: by the government.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Where
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: can you pick the meal place or no?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: there's a cap, you know. If not, everyone's going to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: go for Oaka or the Lesamiro or whatsoever, right? But
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the comment section, people are saying, hey, no need these
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: things lah. And then people are asking, are they really
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: addressing the issue? So I have two sides to this.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: The first side is if this was done by Tinder
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: or Coffee Meets Bagel
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: or Hinge or whatever,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody will bat an eyelid, but given how
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: it's Govtech, people are like, hey, are
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: OK, but the thing is, isn't that already happening on
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the apps, like your dating apps? I mean, OK, I've
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: never been on a dating app, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I'm neither have I
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: assuming that you have to fill in some information about
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: yourself and tell people about yourself. So in a way.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: That's already what the dating sites are doing.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So the second side that I see is, you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: how in this day and age we are slightly, I
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: won't say very, but slightly more materialistic, also a little bit.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I wonder as a man, if I were to bring
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: up someone and say, oh yeah, I'm using the first
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: date vouchers to pay for this meal. No, but
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: both
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: of you will know what, as in if you match,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: both of you will go on the date.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So will I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: be judged for it?
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know, her friends say you all met through
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the first date app, you know, oh, he never paid
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: for the first meal. Or can you, like, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: you can use the first date thing to match the person,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: yeah, to just get to know this person, and then
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: your next round is the first official date. That's how
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I would feel
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: either that or you reject the first date offer. You
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: bring her somewhere else or him somewhere
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: else.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Then you waste the voucher.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: But, but through first date I found.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Then who's going to use the voucher? That's true. And
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether you have to show that you are
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the two people because you already registered via SingPass, right?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I wonder whether when you go and redeem this meal,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do you have to both prove your identity? Like you
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: can't just use it as like a, oh just go
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: eat lunch, you know. Yeah,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: OK. And then on another side as well, is it
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: really solving the issue? Do we really need a sponsored
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: first meal?
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I, OK, I feel like.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking broader than the first meal situation. Like, OK,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to me, it's a bonus if the meal is complimentary
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: because we both met each other. OK, I'm fine with that,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to be honest, because I signed up, if I signed
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: up for this service on this app, I'm fully aware
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: that the first meal is going to be on the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: government or whoever sponsored it, right? So in that sense,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I will not judge the guy for you because I, I,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: I signed up fully knowing this is going to happen.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So I don't think any of us have a right
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: to judge. They're figuring it out.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I wonder
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: what's the people using it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I, I heard that you have to be 35 and
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: below or something like that, right? Firstly,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Secondly, I think there was some, I mean, a lot
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: of people here in Singapore and the youth especially saying
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that it's very hard to meet people nowadays. And a
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: lot of the interactions are, you know, social media and stuff,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: which sometimes you don't get the best representation of a person.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe this will help, depending on what kind of questions
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: they're asking in the questionnaire. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: mean, it's akin to swiping app that we have here
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: in Singapore and for you to say that, yeah, meeting
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: people is very difficult. Then I think about all these
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: interest groups that they have now that run clubs, you know,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: whatever clubs you have.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I do see an upside with this app though, OK,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: since it's tied to your SingPass, right, it eliminates quite
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of sketchy people.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Don't you agree? Because I've met people and friends who
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: have gone on dates, right, where the person doesn't even
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: give their real, they may not give you their real
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: information like real job or like real history, you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: you don't even know whether this is the real person's name,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: for example, like if you meet them on some app,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: do you think finance agent or agents? They use this
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to you a plan.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I, I don't think they will because now their SingPass
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: is tied to it. They can track your, how many
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: times can you go for this? I'm sure there's a
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: cap to the amount of times. So they only can
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: do it like once or twice, and that's it. It's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: not very lucrative for
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: insurance agents. Hey, if I get a big whale of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a customer, why not, right?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: 66, then again, the big wheel might not use this. 669-11987.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Would you use a service like this where it involves
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: your SingPass and then you might get a first date
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: complimentary meal
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: meal. Yeah, let us know. And even if you're attached
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: now or you're already married, it doesn't matter. Let's just
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: go in theory as well, OK? Would you have used this?
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: If you're single, tell us, would you?
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Use this service. In exchange, we've got a wonderful experience
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: at Cha Mulan worth $100. They have new outlets freshly
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: opening in May in IMM North Point. It is a
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: bubble tea like you've never had before. So they've got
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: really cool ingredients that they use in Chinese desserts, TCM,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: good for your health, your skin, peach gum, no fungus,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and 8 hours.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Poached pear, things like that. So yeah, give
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: us a call. I in North Point, Jurong Point City
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: suddenly bless the place
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: up. Exactly. Well, give us a call right now 669-11987.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Would you use a government dating app like what we
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: just mentioned? Talking about a new potential dating app. It's
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: an initiative by the government, OK.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: We're not paid to say this at all or talk
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: about this, but it's just interesting because I feel like
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the dating scene in Singapore has evolved quite a lot. Um,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: maybe I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: back then, because the clubbing scene was a lot more happening,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: like during the time that I was in school and,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you know, as in my early twenties, right? I met
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of people through social events, like face to
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: face at parties.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Other events, you know, through friends. It was a lot
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: more social back then, don't you think?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's still. It's a club.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Your office run clubs and your run clubs, matcha clubs,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: people are meeting each other there or even your pop-up cafes.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but how effective has it been going, the fact
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that they have to do an initiative like
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: this.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: OK, so our friends over at GovTech, in a nutshell,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they are introducing this thing called First Dates, and they're
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: asking you for feedback when it comes to the visuals
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of the entire website and the app, step one, you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: log in using SingPass. Step 2, you answer a questionnaire.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Step 3.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: will match you to who they think is perfect for you,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and you both go on a first date at a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: meal sponsored by the Gov Tech or this this app.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So I did share my views on it earlier. I said,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a terrible idea because you eliminate
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a bunch of sketchy people due to the fact that
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: you got to sign in to your SingPass. I think
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that may turn some people off who are on the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: apps for the wrong reasons.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Got a text coming in from Aaliyah. Hey, Sonia and Joakim,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: let's be real.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Some people will sign up just for the free meals.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Online chatter already suggests concerns about people abusing the system
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: for free
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: food.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I, I would not be surprised. I would not be. Unfortunately, some,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: some people are just like that. Yeah,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: 111 coming in from Jennifer rather. Hey guys, I feel
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: dating is personal, even emotional. The idea of a government-linked platform,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: especially one tied to SingPass.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Is it challenging? I, I know that's one of the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: things that we raised.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: So, um, you know how Jeremy and I met, right?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: We actually met at an event that was run by
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the government. I know, I know. So that
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: This is just, I mean, I, this, you don't write
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: stories like that, OK?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Can I give
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you a spoiler? Yeah, this was supposed to be my
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: opening line at your wedding. Oh, OK, OK, OK. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: was gonna say, you know, ladies and gentlemen, Jeremy and Sonia,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: they have very successful careers, and they go to all
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: sorts of cool events and places. For, for Jeremy, I mean,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in the finance world, he's well known for Sonia and
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the media and all these clubs and events. Where do
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: they meet?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Because Jeremy had nothing better to do with his time,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: had to go for a government sponsored singles cruise.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: OK, I need to clarify that he was just helping
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: his friend out who ran the events company. He was
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: just being a good friend.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Jeremy, do something better, your time. Never mind. See, he
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: met you. Exactly. I should have gone for this
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: cruise.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That's why they were laughing because they said this whole initiative,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: which was by the government at that time, was to
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: allow singles to meet and get to know each other
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: on board a cruise, and then turns out the people
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: who are not even participants ended up getting together
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: instead.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: So you know what, the calls coming in 669-11987 or
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: you can.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: 90050987. Would you take up this first date service thing? Yeah,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: let us know, OK? And if you need more information,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: just do a quick search. I'm sure you'll be able
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: to find it on your news websites and all. In exchange,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: a $100 experience to enjoy all the bubble tea you want,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: and this bubble tea got health benefits.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Fits thanks to Cha Mulan. Yeah, that could be a
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: first date as well. That could be. Back of a
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: pretty interesting piece of news that got the internet buzzing
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: last week on Friday specifically. Um, there's a potential new
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: dating service that's started by the government, OK, and I know, OK,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: before everyone thinks that it's so uncool, so uncool, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Let's not forget, I actually met germs on board a
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: cruise that was initiated by the government for single people.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: OK, at least for that piece of knowledge, right, it's
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: very verbal, but using your SingPass to log in.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: That means someone has
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: your information. Well, but likewise for that one, you have
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to key in all your information, and you have to
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: probably provide your passport, you know what I mean? So
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: you do eliminate some sketchy people,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: but I don't know because for this first day using
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: your SingPass.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: There's someone who might know your dating history because of
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: SingPass or today, uh, person A went out with person B. Uh,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: next week, person A going with person C again. Oh,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: yeah, that's why I said I think there has to
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: be like a cap to it because of the free meal,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: especially the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: office gossip will be quite piping hot tea. Uh, I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: want to say good morning to Seth. Morning.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Guy, and a very good morning to Joe. 3-2 win
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: definitely pumped your morning up, I believe. I think, why
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: stop with just first date being incentivized? Why not make
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: it as such that if the couple gets married, there's
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: additional benefits like vouchers or subsidies and combo with housing
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and having kids gets you more benefits.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's long term thinking.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: That's a long term thing. Can you imagine you use this.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: First date service, you actually match, it goes well, you
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: both agree to get married, guaranteed BTOQ number.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, you are not in a romantic relationship, but
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: they just go ahead and do it because they're like,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, it could be like roommates. I still can
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: own my own house.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's marriage. That's the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: thing, yeah, that's the worry, right?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: One more coming in from John. Hey guys, let's get
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: real and let nature take its course. Would you like
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the government to track who you dated or monitor your conversations?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: What? How to monitor your conversations,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: John? I, I don't think they'll monitor
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: that
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: lah. I think that's some major privacy issues, man.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Or do you expect the gov to also provide you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: with a staycation voucher?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I also can
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: after a successful dating
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: match?
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's a good idea, man.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, so first day they sponsor and the first staycation sponsor,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: is it? Yeah, why not? But once again, how do
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you eliminate the people that are doing this, not for
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the right reasons. That one is going to be very tough.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Very tough. There has to be, yeah. Anyway, um, this
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: is still a developing story. They're still getting feedback from
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: the general public to see whether it's, you know, worthwhile
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: to launch proper. No, but then what would you be
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: encouraging in a way, right? That's true. Like what if
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: you don't.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Actually see a future with this person, then you go
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: for a staycation
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: is
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: just for the free staycation is very
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tricky.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: It's very tricky.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say what kind of hotels they will
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: offer because I'm gonna take it up. If you tell
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: me Barracks Hotel Sentosa
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: think you better not say this on air. You better
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: not say this on air, OK.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I worry for
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Give us a call 669-11987. Would you sign
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: up for an app like that or a service like that, um,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: especially since it's run by the government. Let us know
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and phone lines are open, 669-11987. Our incentive to you
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: is a $100 experience thanks to Cha Mulan.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Beautiful bubble tea place,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: yeah, involving this whole first dates thing where long story short,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you log in using SingPass, you do a questionnaire. It
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: will match you with someone they think it's perfect for you.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: The
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: algorithm will think for you and
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: go for your first date sponsored by First Date, the app.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Would you take it up because of SingPass and all that?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: One coming in from Eileen who says, Morning, Sonia and Joakim.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Come to think about it.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: They are asking for SingPass maybe because they also clear
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: the first verification of whether the person actually single. Sad
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to say there are too many married people out there
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: trying to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: date.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: That's what I said. So like earlier on, I said
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a bad idea because it eliminates
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: sketchy people.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: It really does. Sketchy people will never agree to put
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: their sing and their details for a first date. They
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: will not. They will not. In fact, some of them
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: may even go on dating apps and not put their
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: real name.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, if you think about it plenty, we've seen plenty
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: of that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: apparently someone used my face as Michael Tan.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Same, I don't know what name mine was, but, um,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: some listener actually sent me, it was Ben King and myself.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Our pictures were out there. If I'm not wrong. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: think it was Ben. I think it was Ben.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Please, so if you see Sonia or myself on any
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: dating
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: apps,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: it's not us, it's not us, FYI.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: OK, we're talking about a potential new dating app and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: service called First Date, an initiative by the government, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: by the way, we're not paid to say this at all.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: We were just debating on whether or not people will
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: find it appealing.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, inspired by First Dates where SingPass is being used
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: before you actually go on a first date, which sponsored
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: by the First Date app from GovTech.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Wanna say good morning to Winston.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Winston on WhatsApp. Morning, Sojo. Come to think about it
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: from other listeners' ideas, they will probably provide some government
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: incentive like giving CDC vouchers or SG cultural pass to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: go
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: dating.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, if you get a bonus to
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: like go catch a movie or catch a theater play
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: or something or, you know, a local production, that could
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: be a cute
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: date.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Wanna say good morning.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Caleb, morning, Sonia and Joakim. My wife and I are
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: testament to the successful case of a government intervention. We
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: met on a government dating service called the SDN, the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Social Development Network. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it still running
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: or no longer? I'll see. Where we also had to
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: log in with our SingPass back then. Fast forward 12
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: years later, we are happily married with a kid. Giving
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it a shot was literally life-changing for us.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: See,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: see, OK. There can be successful stories coming out of it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: So I, I wouldn't.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: eliminate this
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: idea.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Another one coming in from Agnes. Not applicable for me,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: but I think it's a good thing for the female,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: as like what Mo said, it eliminates dodgy guys and
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: also makes people think again if they want to do
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: something inappropriate. It probably also allows both parties to meet
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and speak with their head and heart, at least for
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the first date. As a parent, I feel safer if
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I had a daughter who is signing up on this
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: dating platform. Oh, OK.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Like if they're like just going into the dating scene,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I guess if you're still really young.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: But in a way, right, I think it also works
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: for the people who are a little older, like in
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: their 30s or, because I think that the cap is 35, right?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: It works because they're done playing games. They just want
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to get straight to the point. Just, you know, be honest.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Tell me about you. That's it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: That
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: means
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: for me. I cannot use the app. You
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: can't
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: use the app. There are many other apps and there
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: are many.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are going to be many other government-led,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: you know, events that you can meet other single people at.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I'll be joining those singles at 40s, OK?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Just join the club,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: joking. No.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: You'll be able to find someone there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Can I keep to myself, please? Thank you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's arguable you want to find a wife
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: that can run with you in the future, right? Yeah,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: you see, and we're on the topic of whether or
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: not you will utilize this, uh, government-initiated app that's called
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: First Date where you, uh, subscribe using your SingPass, you
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: match based on a questionnaire, and you can enjoy a
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: first date together for free.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So because they kept it at 35, I went tongue
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: in cheek going, Oh, I can't use the app and
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: all that,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to which I said, Joakim, just join a club. Maybe
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: you can find.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Again, I, I, I don't want to join a run club.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I want to keep running to myself, and again, I'm
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: gonna say this, most of the girls in running clubs
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: are taken already.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Really? Are you sure?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Trust,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: or are they just pretending?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I've seen it. They're all taken. If,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: if you're a guy joining a club date, don't lah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Don't bother.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: OK. How about this? Um, I organize a run club
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: day out, OK, but it's only for singles.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: How about we do that? We'll see. I will cycle
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: on the side.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: No, you must run. Wanna say good morning to Jay. Hi,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim. Just for your information, I've been with
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: a running club for a while now, but I'm turning
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: 39 and I'm still single. So to Joakim, running club
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you'll meet a partner, I guess. It doesn't mean,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: it doesn't guarantee it. I'm just saying that it could
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: be a good way of meeting people. That's all.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: No, it's
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: OK. OK. Again, when it happens, it will. I'll let
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I'm waiting. OK, I'm waiting. Don't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: pressure me. I never. I,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: when was I never really asked you. I just let
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: you tell me if anything, you know, develops. Actually, that's true.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: I never really
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: pressure you. You know, you know, every Friday, Sonia will
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: ask you the same question, and the question is, so
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: how any weekend plans? Any plans? She's she's hoping I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: would say I'm going on a date, correct?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it happens.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: But 90% of the time, I will tell you what
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Joakim will tell me, um, and he doesn't mean to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: open his mouth. He'd be like, OK, he will run,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: he'll play games, and he'll watch some show, these three things.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: One more. One more thing.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Sleep, OK, but that was a no-brainer. You can't include
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: that as like an activity. You're
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: absolutely right. See, I'm a simple man.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: On that note, someone is walking away with this $100
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: experience thanks to Cha Mulan.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: You know, let's give it to somebody who actually used
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: one of these things, the Social Development Network where SingPass
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: was involved as well. Caleb, congratulations.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, success story, you see, it could happen.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: For 12 years now. Yeah, they've been
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: together.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Amazing, excellent stuff. So please enjoy. You can bring your
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: wifey with you to Cha Mulan and enjoy some really
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: delicious bubble tea that's a bit different because they're using
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: some healthy ingredients as well, things that could be good
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: for your health and beauty and wellness. Alright, please try it.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: And uh Joe.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: On coming through with some piping hot tea apparently.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn't just one guy. It isn't
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: just Kevin Feige or Robert Downey Jr. It's thousands or
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: maybe even tens of thousands of people coming together, putting
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the skills that they trained and worked for to give
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: you all the movies that you love. So I think
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: there's a bit of some hot tea coming in.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Disney and Marvel's, or rather, Disney is the parent company.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Marvel is one of the companies they own now, right?
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Bit of beef happening because Disney apparently let a few
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Marvel artists go. Oh yeah. And these Marvel artists were
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: very integral to bringing to life all the Marvel movies
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: that we've seen so far.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: So what was the reason they gave AI?
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Long Long story short, they are using AI to do
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: some of the visual effects now, I think,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: yeah,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: which is a bit scary. So, of all people, the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: actress who plays the wasp, Evangeline
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Lily,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I actually
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: took to the press and social media saying that, hey,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not happy with this. To all
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: those who have been let go, I see you. You
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: guys were the OGs and the important part of Marvel
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and the movies that we have.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: See, that's the worry, right? I mean, I know that
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: in general, organizations and governments will always assure us that
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: AI is not going to replace us, but it's supposed
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: to improve efficiency. But in situations like that where people
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: are actually, their jobs are being replaced by AI but
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Only one person needs to overlook, for example, what used
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to be a team of 10, for example, right?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure it's the whole thing. Maybe they are
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: trying to perfect a few AI, whereas maybe 10 years
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: ago before the use of AI and all these
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: things.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I meant, yeah,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: to the point where now even Hollywood, I think to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: be considered for an Academy Award, your film cannot use
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: AI
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: utilize AI at
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: all. Yeah, I think
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: they're the CGI and all that. I don't
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: know how
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: it stands on that one, but they are banning the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: use of AI.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: To replace the actors and actresses, you think you reckon
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: because remember not too long ago, there was like a
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: bit of a strike from the Screen Actors Guild or something.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm getting it right screenwriters, I
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: can't recall, but there was some sort of like um
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: a protest against the use of, of AI. Yeah, so
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I forgot which one, but I safe to say, um,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: the cool thing about Hollywood, I guess, they can be
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: very vocal. They can.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: And they might even make a change. If
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I could boldly say I think this is the start
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: of many AI related problems and
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: issues.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Lots, yeah, it's
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: already begun
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: as it slowly evolves and it hits and hits its prime.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit scary if you think about it. But
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: what a great song to come out of because coming
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: up in a few minutes, we got some food news,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: very unique one as well, because I feel like this hawker.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Is changing the way things are done in the F&B
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: industry which could benefit him if you think about it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Now when I ask you, right, what is the one
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: thing when you go to like a zuta shop or, uh, yeah,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: a tuta shop, for example, what's the one thing you're
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: quite careful about ordering?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Wow, the silence is deafening. Think about it price-wise, price-wise,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: what's the one thing you're always careful price-wise?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, price-wise, um, honestly, I only ordered 3 things. Let
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: me know if it's,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: uh,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: is it
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: sweet and sour pork, one of them. OK, that's 4
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: now. Um, hot plate
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: tofu, black pepper beef,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: correct.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Some vegetable naipai or something kangkong sambaw kangkong and sweet
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: and sour pork. OK, so you're super basic. Hey, hello.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? You only go to all the restaurants.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: You only order these. Yeah, OK, anyway, I was going
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: for the one thing that sometimes we are cautious about
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: ordering would be live seafood because they have to weigh
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: it and then the cost might be, the price might
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: be something that we are not aware of, right, which
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I'm the worst person to bring for,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: OK, because he doesn't really eat seafood.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just bring Jokim to a basic place the
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: next time you go on a date
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: with him. I'm there,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Uh, I like Yankee too. We've been there before together,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: we have, um, coming up in just a few minutes,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: find out what this particular hawker is doing.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: That's changing the game a little bit. Some food news,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: here we go. Happy
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: 123 food news. Food news. Sonia with the good food news.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Give it to us, Miss
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Chuw. So, um, earlier on I said, what is the
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: one thing sometimes we're a little bit hesitant to order
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: when we go to a Tuta restaurant, for example, to
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: which Joakim gave me no good answers because he only
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: orders like the same four dishes every time. Hey, hello, um.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Good restaurant. The hot plate tofu slaps. OK,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: it does, it does, but I encourage you to try
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: some of their specialties, you know. OK, yeah, try something new.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, change up your palate a bit once in
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: But when it
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: comes to crabs or lobsters or whatsoever, I, I won't
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: actively order it. If the table orders it, sure, go
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Joe has never really been a seafood kind
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: of person. So yeah, anyway, um.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I guess the one thing that we sometimes are hesitant
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: about is ordering like live seafood, for example, because they
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: go by weights, then sometimes by season and the price
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: keeps changing as well,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: tiger prawn. So
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: you never know
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: angel crab, is it angel crab or is it
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: something
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: crab
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think that crab crab Alaskan king crab, that
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: one angel crab Alaskan king crab angel crab. OK, never mind.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Um, for this particular hawker, he has many interesting points
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: about him. Firstly, he's a Mandarin speaking Indian hawker, which
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I guess some people wonder, Hey, how come you cook
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Chinese food? Hey, why you cook Chinese food? Yeah, but
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: you cannot cook, so never mind. Um, he allows diners
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: to bring your own seafood to his susa shop, OK,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: and prices to cook your seafood only start at $12
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: which could be changing the game a little bit. I mean.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it may go by weight still to a certain extent, but,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: you know, the fact that you bring your own seafood, right,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: you could have bought it at a much cheaper price
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: compared to the markup that you experienced at certain sa shops, right?
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: And um, he's citing incidents where like some people go fishing,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: they don't know how to cook the fish or the seafood.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: And it's also the preparation of that is very troublesome.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: So he said, just come bring it, I'll cook it
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Actually, I'm very sustainable for the next 10 or 15
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: years as fishing as a
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: hobby has risen,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: right? It is back here in Singapore. Nice to
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: see. Exactly. So I mean, for a lot of us,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: I want to, I want a nice seafood dish, but
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: the idea of having to like
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Kill the crab, for example, I can't do it. Honestly,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. But the only way to enjoy
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: seafood is to have it very fresh. So that's why
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: most of your grandma, your aunties will encourage you to
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: kill the crab at home, right? I've never done that
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: in my life. I don't think I can do it.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I went fishing once in the Maldives for a, a
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: travel show, and I threw the fish back into the sea.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, because you are allowed to do that, they
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: will heal, I guess if they're not very injured, so.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Um, please visit him. I think, um, if you've never
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: actually tried, it's over in the Chinatown area, and I'm
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: looking at some of the, uh, dishes right now. Absolutely delicious.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I see a like a, a fish, fish head clay
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: pot sort of situation, curry, curry as well, super good.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Um, it's XH Delicious Seafood located at 39 Temple Street
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: and it's open daily. Ops till 10:00 p.m. actually quite
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: late. Beautiful. The only time I had the, uh, seafood
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: stuff was the crabbiehoon over at Geylang. Uh, Chef Danny,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I forgot the, uh.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: It's the Omakase hawker store that everyone talks about.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: It's quite polarizing. Um, if you like rabbiehoon, please try Longqi.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: I know I haven't brought you there before yet, but, um,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I can only hope that you have a big appetite
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: for seafood. OK, what did I just
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: say?
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: The, uh, Longqi
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: rabbihoon. Yes, try it. Yes, OK, I'll bring you
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: the name of the store that I went to was
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: a Sinhuat. There you go. Sinat Seafood.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Sounds legit. Sounds legit. Anyway, if this got you craving for.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: Some tuta or solid crab bihoon or whatever, please satisfy
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: your craving this week, OK?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Well, we are 6 days away to Mother's Day Sunday.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: That's right, 10th of May.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: If you are looking forward to buy your bouquet of
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: flowers and all that, be prepared to pay maybe double
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: or triple the amount.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, even if you pre-order, I'm sure
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: they would have already increased the price for you. Why
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: don't you try something else like make a card for
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: your mom and paste like pictures of you.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Or a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Lego bouquet of flowers. Yeah,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: in that way you will never die. Exactly.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: It can be a good mother and family activity. And
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: also if you're going to your favorite restaurant on Mother's
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Day itself, you might want to check and make sure
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: they still have whatever you love to eat on the
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: menu because some of these restaurants,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: right,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: they customize a Mother's Day set.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, um, what I, what gets me the most frustrated
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: is Valentine's Day because every restaurant will have like, there
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: were moments where
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: We just went just because we wanted to go to
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: a restaurant and they revealed to us after we sat
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: down that, oh, OK, it's only this set menu, to
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: which it can be frustrating, but, um, my family and
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: I were going to Bala Pranakan food, yeah, we're going
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: for some Pranakan food on Sunday.

  Speaker 1: Mama will pile on the sambal, man.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I'm so good. Yeah, honestly, they're very generous with the sambal,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: so I'm grateful for that. Is she
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: gonna wear the kabaya and
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: stuff? No, no, no, no, no, she's not because it's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: very restrictive.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, Kabaya, right, like you really need to be quite slim,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I feel, yeah, to pull it off.
• 46:43
