  Speaker 1: you haven't subscribed yet to MWatch. If you want to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: watch it from the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Comforts of your own home on any screen, all 104
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: games going at $118. If you do the math, it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: $1.13 per game. There you go. Drops towards the last
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: 10 seconds of this song. I get down in the studio,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I dance, and then I remember.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: My left knee is still a bit sore, my right
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: ankle is still a little bit swollen as well, so
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't want any more injuries, but anyway,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that's BTS with Body to Body right here on 987,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: your number one hit music station. Joakim Gomez here with you.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Age should never define you. Whether you are 8 or
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: 88 or 108, nothing is impossible. I wanna say congratulations
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to one guy, OK?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: And here's my question. What do you think you'll be
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: doing at 19 or what did you do at 19?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I think for most Singaporean men, maybe it's national service
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: or maybe you're pursuing polytechnic or IT education or maybe
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: retaking your Os again in a private school or whatsoever.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Whatever you're doing, I wish you all the best, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to one Kimmy Antonelli of Formula One's Mercedes, take a bow.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Take a bow, young man.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Wow, I mean, this guy is currently half my age,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and look, he's won the Chinese Grand Prix, the Japanese
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Grand Prix, the Miami Grand Prix, and as of 1
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: hour ago this morning, he's now the winner of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Canadian Grand Prix. Amazing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Amazing. So this week is gonna be quite interesting in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: terms of how we live our lives here in Singapore,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: maybe even around the region, because on Wednesday, it's a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: public holiday. It's Hari Raya Haji. Then on Sunday, it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is Vesak Day, which means the following Monday. It's the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: public holiday in lieu because it falls on a Sunday.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So I think loads of people in the office, they
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: might have played their leave dates correctly.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They will take the Haraya Haji off and then they'll
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: apply for leave Thursday and Friday and give themselves one
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: extra long weekend to go to places like Bali, maybe
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: even Bintan for a golf session. I know plenty of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: people going there for golf now. Johor Bahru are going
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: over to Bangkok, the Usual Suspects, or even a quick
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: trip to Hong Kong or maybe even Tokyo, Japan, but
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: If you are going across the causeway in the next
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: few days, especially during Hari Raya Haji and the Vesak
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Day weekend, please give yourselves more time, allocate yourselves more time.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Our friends over at ICA are giving you an advisory
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that there will be additional traffic. There could be heavy
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: traffic as well, so we ask for your patience. Stay
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: calm and enjoy the public holiday.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: 987. Hello, what's your name? Tyler. Hello, Tyler, and what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: school are you headed to today? Saint Andrew's Junior. Saint
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Andrew's Junior. OK, I know where is that because it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: quite near the JC and the secondary school area. So Tyler,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: what's amazing about Saint Andrew's? Tell me. There is a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: lot of new friends there. A new, new friends there. OK.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: What level are you in this year, Tyler?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: P11, how has it been for you in school? All good?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are you enjoying yourselves?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And is your teachers good to you? Do you like
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: your teachers?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, OK, if I were to ever come to Saint
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Andrew's Junior and I go to your canteen, what's the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: one thing I should have? Prata Prata. OK, what song
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: can I get you, Tyler? My sister likes.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Oprahlite, so I'll get Oprahlite. Tyler, ask and you shall receive.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Here's Taylor Swift Oprahlite going out to you and your
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: sister right here on 987. And yep, as of yesterday,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the Premier League season is officially over. What a season
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: we've had.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, of course, if you're an Arsenal fan, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: say congratulations. Yesterday, lifting the trophy over at Selhurst Park
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: after beating Crystal Palace, but I'm very sure there'll be
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: huge celebrations at the Emirates Stadium. I think Ed Russell
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of Class 95.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is actually live in London right now, as is Kathryn Robert,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: also from Class 95. She went to go watch Tottenham
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Hotspur's game and thankfully for Tottenham Hotspur, they are staying
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: up in the Premier League. West Ham United, even though
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they beat Leeds United 3-0.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: West Ham United have been relegated to the championship next season. Hopefully,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we'll see them back in the Premier League the following season, 2728.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But a few things we gotta acknowledge here, OK? From Liverpool,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Mo Salah and Andy Robertson.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: They both have concluded their their their time in the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Premier League, and I think for Liverpool fans, they'll definitely
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: miss these two players a lot, especially for Mo Salah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: they call the Egyptian king. For Manchester United, it's Casemiro,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and please get rid of Onana.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And for Man City, Bernardo Silva and Pep Guardiola himself.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: They both have called time on their careers in the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Premier League, so I'm not too sure where they go
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: from here. We'll see because I'm just wondering who's gonna
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: manage Man City now? Who's gonna follow up after Pep Guardiola?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Those are very tough shoes to fill. One more game
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: awaits us, not for the domestic leagues, but the Champions League.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It's happening this Sunday.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Paris Saint-Germain against Arsenal. Will Arsenal do the double? Their
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: fans can only dream and hope it happens. If you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: wanna go cheer for either teams, I think Chimes. They're
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: having a huge screening with loads of drinks and food
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: available for you. So grab your football khakis and if
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you want to enjoy the final game of the football season,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: watch that and then in less than 2 weeks, people,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it's the World Cup. International teams.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I'm truly excited and very soon, I'll
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: be releasing a few videos to give you a guide
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to the World Cup. Disclaimer as always, whenever we do
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a piece of news like this. We, we don't encourage
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gambling whatsoever, but sometimes the winnings are a very special story,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it's too hard to ignore. So, if you, or maybe
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: even your mom or your grandma was at Gunting Highlands recently,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe it could have been her that brought back $10
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: million to Singapore. Wow!
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So apparently, a lady known, very popular as Old Auntie
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: over at Genting Highlands, she was playing those casino slot machines,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and this one is called the Dragon Link slot. She
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: won $10.3 million sing. That translates to RM $31.9 million.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Well, guess who's not going back to Gunting Highlands anymore?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: She's one, she can rest and enjoy retirement. Travel the world, auntie,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: go to Macau, go to Vegas. The world is now
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: your oyster with $10.3 million. Trust me, man, if I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: got that lucky over at Genting Highlands.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: What I would do immediately is check out of my hotel,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hire police escort all the way back to Johor Bahru checkpoint,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: then I'll ask my family to wait for me at
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the Singapore checkpoint. The moment I cross customs, I'm going
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: straight to the bank, putting my money in and buying
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a condo.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, typical Singaporean mentality. Must buy a condo. How was
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: your weekend? Hopefully, it's a good one. Let's catch up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Let me just share with you more about my life.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So over the weekend, doing one of the three joki
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: activities I would do. If it's not sleeping or gaming,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'm running.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: So on Saturday, we went for a very nice run
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: along what I call the ovarian route, if you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and over at the Tanjung Ru area, there
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: were these two little cute girls on their mini bicycles cycling,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and I think their mom was running behind them, making
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: sure they were safe, and she was screaming like, Lara,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: look forward. So yes, if you're that mom, shout out
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to you. You look like a warrior guarding your two
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: lionesses with you as well. But I was gonna say, um,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the roles reversed on Sunday.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I know I shared this with you a few weeks
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: ago about how I'm a little bit uncomfortable with my
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: mom wanting to cycle again, knowing how dangerous the roads
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and even the park connectors. You might think it's safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: for cycling, but the moment you lose focus, an accident
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: could happen. So she went cycling for the very
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: first time in a long while yesterday, and I said, Mom,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna run alongside you. You're going
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to Bishan Park. I know it looks easy, but I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: want to make sure you're observing the correct rules. Keep
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: left and alerting people that you're behind them before you
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: cut them from the right. So she got on the bike.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Took her a while to get comfortable with it, was
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit shaky. Couple of, uh, I won't say falls,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it's more tumbles here and there. Going uphill still can
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: be a bit difficult for her, but all in all,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: she did a very good job. I'm actually very impressed.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Well done, mom.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The, the, the only thing is my mom's bike, I mean,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: she's really invested into safety now after what I told
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: her and after how I voiced my discomfort at the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: idea of her cycling alone at night or maybe even
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: in the mornings, she's put on so many.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Lights on the bicycle and not just the bicycle. Her
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: hat lah, her t-shirt now has the blinking lights. It's
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: very hard to not see her coming. You can see
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: her coming from a mile away. When I was running yesterday,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I was filming her on my Oki glasses. I think
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I was what, maybe 400 m away from her. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: could still see her because of all the blinking lights
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that she turns on.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: At 6 p.m. It's still bright, Mom, save the battery.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And OK, so given how Wednesday is a public holiday,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I can immediately tell you where most of the Gen
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Z's would go. This could be a stereotype, but where
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is the lie? So, if you were to go to Orchard.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe even on a weekend or a Friday night, you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: would see very well-dressed Gen Z's and it makes you wonder, oh,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: which club are they going to, which, uh, nearby bar,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: or are they hanging out with friends somewhere for a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: good Friday night out? No. Where are they going? Yochi.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The one over at Orchard Central, yeah. They're dressing up
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: like Yochi is the new club to be, and hey, I, I,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if you're a lovely lady, you might
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: have been hit on at a Yochi by some bro
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: who might be trying his luck and shooting his shot. So, Yochi,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: congratulations to them. They've opened its second outlet at Star Vista. Hey, hey.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: They're officially opening on Saturday and apparently somebody was in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the queue from 8:30 a.m. Wow, I, I really hope
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: your Yochi was extra special. Uh, look, I, I have
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: not tried Yochi yet. Please, please don't be startled or shocked.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's just
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: The queue is very long lah. I am, bro's got
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: no time to queue for a while, OK? I've done
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: my queuing when I was 18 for Singapore Idol. I'm done.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: 16 hours. No more queuing for me, please. But yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: if you're going down to Star Vista again, do allocate
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: yourselves queuing time and congratulations to Yochi. Yochi to the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Gen Z is like maybe
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: PS Cafe's truffle fries. To us millennials here, everybody had
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: to try it at some point in time and showing
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: up on Instagram. As always, around this time here on
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the show, our phone lines are open over at 669-119-87
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: or maybe even you can WhatsApp us at 90050987. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: what we have up for grabs today.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: If we do love your answers. A nice dining experience,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: all thanks to our friends over at Cloud Fields. They're
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: located over at Tan Boon Lit Building. It's an all-day
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: dining concept built around how Singaporeans love to eat. So
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we've got shared plates, comfort food, mixed cravings, and long
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: catch up with friends and family. Their signature dishes include
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the short.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Rib rendang pasta, the nori clam pasta and ko e
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: pepe fries, and the negitorro kimchi tuna melt. You have
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: to try it and if you wanna go follow them
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, give them a boost over at Love Cloud
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Fields once again over on Instagram. Today's one though, inspired
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: by Diplo, what he posted over the weekend.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know who Diplo is, uh, he's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: only one of the greatest producers of our generation. Produced
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: songs for so many people. Recently played at Coachella as well.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: And then, given how he is world-renowned, multiple awards under
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: his belt, he DJs for VIPs and millions of people,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: what to him is the most important set?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: His kid's kindergarten graduation party.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's very cute. So in the video, you would
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: see him at the backyard with two portable speakers and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: he has his DJ console, and he's playing songs that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: are kid-friendly, by the way, and he goes, are you
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: ready for some fun? 121234, and he hypes all the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: kids up. They're jumping around the speakers. Hey, you know
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: what they say, right, start them young, but it's, it's
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: very nice to see Diplo, yes, putting the world-renowned DJ
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: aside and showing up for his kid.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And then on TikTok, I don't know why, maybe it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: my FYP or my algorithm, right? Sometimes when I scroll TikTok, I'm,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing videos of parents showing up for kids and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the kids reacting to it. So for example, it could
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: be your kid's kindergarten show or concert. It could be
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a simple tree on stage or they're doing a dance routine.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You can see their head scanning for their parents and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: The moment they spot the parents, the biggest smile on
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: their face or they might wave and say, hello mommy,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: hello daddy, and everybody will laugh and it's a memory
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: on your phone and you can post it on Instagram
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: reels and maybe even on TikTok. So, today, on this
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Monday morning, I, I wanna tug at your heartstrings a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: little bit. Whether you're a parent or I mean all
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of us are children, all of us are kids as well.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: When was the last time your parents showed up for
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you and it put a smile on your face? Or
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: if you're a parent, when was the last time you
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: showed up for a kid and put a smile on
• 16:41

• 22:27
  Speaker 1: so far. We're having a chat about your parents showing
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: up for you, or if you're a parent showing up
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for your kids inspired by Diplo's video of himself DJing
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: at what looks like a backyard party for his kids'
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: kindergarten graduation party. It's very nice to see. It's very
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: sweet as well. So I'm gonna go to WhatsApp at 90050987,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: saying hello to Farhan. Farhan says, hey, Joakim.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: My son had football training under the ring quite recently,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and I still showed up after work in office clothes
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: just to watch for 20 minutes. After training, he told
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: his coach and his friends, Hey, that's my dad. My
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: dad came. Whoa, small thing, but it hit me really hard.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I kind of teared up but away from him. Cannot
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: show him weakness.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: That that's the most dead message I've read all morning.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much for your texts, Farhan. One coming
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in from Nick. Morning, Solo, Joe. Happy Monday. 21 assists day. Yes,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: congrats to Bruno Fernandez. Showing up for my girls has
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: always been something my wife and I try to do
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: as much as we can. Our 17 year old just
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: entered IT.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: this year, new environment and friends. We wanted to offer
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: her as much support as we can. She joined a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: K-pop CCA and enjoyed herself. I will pick her when
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: their practice finished. The day of their performance, both my
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: wife and I were in the stands watching her, beaming
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: with pride, and when she ended her dance, she came over.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: We can see her joy just to see us watching.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Her perform. Oh, thank you very much, Nick. Gonna keep
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the calls and texts coming in. We do have time
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for one more, and we have time for a few
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: more texts and calls with regard to the last time
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: your parents showed up for you, or if you're a parent,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: when was the last time you showed up for your kid?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: In case you just joined us, this is inspired by
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Diplo's latest Instagram reel, where he was DJing for his
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: kid's kindergarten graduation party.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: At what looks to be some backyard and two portable
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: speakers and it's just Diplo, having all the fun in
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the world and the kids are jumping around and dancing.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: So I wanna go to WhatsApp and say good morning
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to Akim. Akim says, morning Joakim. So sad for me,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: my parents are separated, so my mom never turned up
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: for any of my sports events or school events, but
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the only time she showed herself was when I skipped.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: When I skipped after school lessons and I played Counter-Strike
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at the Land gaming shop, oh my God, my ears
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: got pulled in front of everyone and after that, one week,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: no Counter-Strike. Well, one week only. Well, thank you very
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: much for sharing. At least she cared enough to show up,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: pull your ear, and now it's a core memory.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Memory for you. One coming in from Jacqueline. Jacqueline, you say, hey, Joakim,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I still remember this. Whenever I get standing punishments in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: school almost every week, my mom will be the one
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: picking me up from school, but I'll always cross my
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: fingers that it won't be her because my mom is
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the one that scolds me. When I saw my dad
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: for once, my day became filled with rainbows.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: And I replied, Why, your dad's the nicer one, is it?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: She replied back, My dad never scolds me, but whenever
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: we go back home, my dad will get it from
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: my mom for not scolding me. A. 669-11987. Sharon, what
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Uh, it was my son's, um, sports meet, and, um,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: it was his very first. So we were so happy
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: when he was laughing and smiling and running around.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: So I was the crazy mom who was jumping up
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and down, cheering for him, shouting his name and videoing him.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, that will be me as a dad as
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: well if I ever become one. So what event did
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: he take part in?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, he was doing the running relay.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: So did he win it or did he just get
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the consolation participation medal?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Uh, consolation. He only got a medal, but I think, um,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: he's happy enough because it was his very first, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: uh it was a very good experience because he's an introvert.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: So I'm very happy and he made very, um, many friends,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: so I'm happy for him. Beautiful.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I think the ultimate prize is his mom, you going
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: there and shouting his name. Thank you so much.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Thank so much for your call, Sharon. Take care, OK?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Have a great day. Bye-bye. And usually I sing the jingle,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: then Sonia gives us the food news, but given how
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: she's only back with us next Tuesday, still enjoying the
• 26:56
