  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. Happy Wednesday. We're in the middle

• 0:27
  Speaker 1: number one
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: hit
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Um, tell us what, what on earth happened, man? Like,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, OK, catching COVID is not exactly uncommon
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: now. Yeah, so apparently I think this happened. It was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: after the rehearsals for NDP. When I got back, I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: was like, why am I feeling
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: so weak
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and tired? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And I knew it was not the post-show
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: tiredness. And I want to just declare it wasn't my fault, OK,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I didn't spread it to Joe because I was sick
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And then suddenly you got sick, but it was a
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: few days apart already.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: At this point we're just
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: taking turns,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: yeah,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and if I'm not wrong, there is a bug going
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: around
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Singapore. So, um, you know, when I, when I felt
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: sick last week, right, the doctor actually advised me to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: test for influenza A and B as well. Yeah, because
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: apparently that has been a thing that's going around too.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: So they have these.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Kids now that look exactly like the COVID kids. Yes,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: but it tests for influenza A and B, A and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: B and COVID as well
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and COVID, yes.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So, Sunday morning took the ART test and true enough,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: two lines. Yeah, and I was like, wow, I've not
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: seen you in 3
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: years. Yeah,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: yeah, yeah. How many times have you caught it actually?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I think this will be my 5th or 4th.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Oh my God.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Really? OK, I think in total, I caught it probably twice. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Good for you. No, no, but you know what, there
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: are many different strains, you see, that's the thing. So
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it might present itself differently because the first time I
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: ever got it, which funny enough was during our sabbatical.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Did you catch it during sabbatical too? No, I came
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you came back, yeah, so same here, same here.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And that was the one where I lost my sense
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of smell and taste, yeah, for, for a week or so.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It was, it was really weird.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, so Sunday, Monday was when my
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: throat hurt the most. It felt like there were razor
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: blades in there. Oh
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: no, that's bad.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Thankfully, after seeing the doctor and some mets and lozenges,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: felt a lot better on Tuesday. Had to host a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gig on Tuesday night, was negative. Thank goodness for that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And I thought, hey, you know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: What, about time I came back to work. I don't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: want to stay at home doing nothing. So yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: restless, right
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: after
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a while,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: then you would
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: think, oh, joking can stay and play games and all that. Yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I can, but I, I'd rather
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be here, right?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: You know, the funny thing is like when I was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: on MC, right, it was the, the weirdest thing. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: couldn't seem to fall asleep properly. Like I don't know why. I,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I think so I then I asked Chad GPT. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: was like, why am I having trouble.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Ask a doctor. I mean, it told me that like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you know, actually it's pretty common when you're unwell, sometimes, yeah,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: your body is just a lot going on, so you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: cannot
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: fall asleep.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, for me, I perspire a lot when I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: unwell. Maybe it's like a fever or maybe
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: because of the medication as well. So please your vitamin C,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: please stay healthy. I know, I understand from the students
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that came into the studio yesterday. I'll tell you more
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in a while because I owe them a shout out
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: just before 7 a.m. I promised them for that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Um, I think oral examinations are happening for some levels
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: right now. So all the best. Good luck.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Would you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: say at least here in Singapore, we are in an
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: influential position, you and me,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: two of us,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: both of us, yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: In some ways
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: maybe
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the words that we say on national radio might have
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: an impact on someone's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: life.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It might on at least one person. OK,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether this count as me using my
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: voice for good, and I don't know if you agree
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with me about this one.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But over the last few days, I feel the biggest
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: discussion here in Singapore, Maju Forest.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you have thoughts about that?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and you think that maybe
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: there, is there a way to save it? Is there
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a way to preserve Gilman Barracks? That's my question.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I know, I know. Um, there are many areas in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Singapore that I hope will never leave.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Or we'll never lose it, you know, just like that
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: tree I was telling you opposite, um, Jeremy's house that
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, don't take it down, but it's going
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to be taken down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: To
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: be
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: fair, I think some members of parliament and ministers have
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: been saying that this has actually been in the URA
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: master plan since the 1980s. So, so in a way
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's saying if you never read, it's it's there lah
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: from the 1980s, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Given how people are very vocal about these two places,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Gilman Barracks and Maju Forest, I, I wonder what's gonna
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: happen because people are signing petitions. There are some, uh, online,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I won't call them influencers, but people who have a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: huge following to online. They are actually sharing their opinions
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and people are agreeing. So I think this will be
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: interesting if there are any updates, we'll let you know
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: here on
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: 987. Yeah, I'm invested honestly because
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: When it comes to these things, I'm glad actually to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: see Singaporeans being more vocal because I think in a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: country where we're so tiny, right, we cannot afford to
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: lose more
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: nature.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So my thought is also, if for example, Maju forest
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: gets cleared, you know, I think they're going to clear
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: about what, 15 hectares of it and leave 8 for
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the greenery.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: What about the wildlife is it? Yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: will they shift
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: elsewhere and will they start invading people's homes?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But that's the, that's the problem from the start,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: right?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you, it may be seen as a problem, but
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: it also may be seen as how do we live
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: harmoniously with with
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the animals.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But also disclaimer just to kind of decisions, they will
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: always do a study with the experts in that area
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: before they announce something like that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not just displaced animals randomly.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Faking smiles right here on 987, but thankfully with our show,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you don't have to. I hope that you're actually laughing
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: along with us or at us.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Faking smiles, something I do at every
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: networking event.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: OK, yes, who ends up having to make all the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: small talk. Thank
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you. Yes, thank you for your service to our nation.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: What do I get?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: What do I get from Joakim?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'll
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: feed you. OK. Oh,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: OK.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'll get you some good makan.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: OK, sure, yeah, it's a fair trade.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You don't want your tini.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I, I don't mind. I don't mind. Yeah, but I
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: also don't necessarily enjoy the small talk on behalf of
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: two people. There we go.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Anyway, about to open up the phone lines, 669-11987. But first,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a big shout out to my lovely girlies from Saint
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Anthony's Kenosian Conference Secondary School. Very long.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: SACS.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: No, no, that's primary school, but they changed the, the,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the naming of the class as well. This is secondary
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: school. Secondary school is afters,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I am not sure now, but back then ours was
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: just numbers, wasn't very exciting. So we didn't have like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: virtues or anything anyway.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Um, I wanted to give a big shout out to them.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: One of the most engaging groups that I've ever come in. Um,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: so many people volunteered to want to be on air.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So were they from a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: CCA?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: No, they, you know what, a lot of them didn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: even know each other. They signed up and then they
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: met each other through this, uh, meeting.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: At the studio and uh when they actually volunteered to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: go on air, right, some of them paired up and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they didn't know each other prior to that, but got chemistry,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: so I was like, hey, not bad.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I just thought of the perfect phase 2A or 2B
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: for you, which is in case you have a daughter
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: next time, primary one sign ups, right? Why don't you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: start a Saint Anthony's broadcast club?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Could be,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: right? Then you volunteer your time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yes. How often will I have to be on ground
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: like in school? Twice a week, twice. OK, that's not
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: so bad. Yeah, I don't mind.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Hey man, I'll offer my services for sure. Yeah. Give
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: us a call though, 669-11987. Whether or not you're from
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the group that came in yesterday, it doesn't matter. You know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of them managed to go on air. Love
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you so much. Hope to see you again very soon
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and maybe bring more different students down in the future
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: as well, you know, when Joakim is back in full force.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Hello. Hi, good morning. What's your name? My name is Andrea. Hello,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Andrea, which school are you from? I'm from Chong. Chongfu Primary. Nice.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And are you with anyone? Like, do you have a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: sibling with you? No, I'm with my mother. Oh, your mom. OK, hi.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Hello mom. Hello, hello.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Alright, Andrea, so what's the best thing about Chongfu Primary?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I like to go to the library. I love to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: read the book. OK, I was gonna say.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The air conditioning, but yes, reading the book
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: is fine. I know that's the reason why you went
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to the library when you were in school. I won't
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: deny we are very different people. OK, what song can
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we get you today then and who is it going
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: out to? OK, that's coming up for you right now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: You have a fantastic day at school.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: OK? OK, this is something that might make you chuckle
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: on this Wednesday morning, but also I'm gonna take a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: risk here, OK, Sonia.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: The Streisand effect. What do you understand from this phrase?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I've heard of this phrase before, but I
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: never really looked into
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: OK, so maybe using the phrase Streisand effect to describe
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this case could be inaccurate because Streisand effect usually involves
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: maybe you are hiding some info.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: OK, and that's why the public are now extra curious
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to find out what's the info you're hiding, OK, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it might get blown up in the news and people
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: know more about it and the, the attempt to cover
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: up fails miserably. OK, alright, OK, here we go.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Across the causeway, a former prime minister's wife is suing
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a Malaysian comedian
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: for because during a show,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and the grounds of suing is defamation. OK.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And here is the joke, because for a comedian or
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for a, for a comedy show, you got to pay
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a ticket to go watch it, right? OK, and usually
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the jokes stay there, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: because someone there leaked it or what that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and also now because the, uh, wife of a former
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: world leader is suing the comedian, the joke has now
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: become worldwide.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Knowledge. And now everyone wants to know why, right? Can
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I please read you, I would love to hear it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: During
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the performance, the defendant displayed images of scary, mythological creatures
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: from Malaysian folklore,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: dear,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: including but not limited to the Toyo, Pontianak, and Po Chong,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: before displaying the plaintiff's image to the audience as part
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the joke's narrative.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The plaintiff further alleged that Harith had joked about drivers
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: looking in their rearview mirror on a dark road and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: seeing a terrifying figure. At which point, the defendant's, sorry,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the plaintiff's image was displayed on screen. Oh
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: dear, OK.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say who in case you get sued, but.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: If you know, you know, if you know, you
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: know, because you go and sue the comedian, the entire
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: world now knows about this joke,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and you get blown out of proportion, right?
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get more people drawn to the case and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: making fun of you.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Well, there's not much to be said about this case,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: but I, I, I wonder how it's gonna unfold.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Exactly. I wonder if this person is suing this particular comedian,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I wonder if there are grounds for it. Like, I just,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I'm curious. Yeah, there might be,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: but this person might need to sue plenty of other
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: comedians as well.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this one unfortunately got caught in a way, yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: You know what, that's, that's not quite cool. I feel
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: like sometimes when you attend these shows, right, or even
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Concerts or or whatever. Um, try your best to just
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: be in the moment and not.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Not like documenting yet about it, but OK, that being said,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I understand that also, you know, especially here in Singapore,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: whatever shows come through, be it a comedian or, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: stand-up comedy show or a play or musical, whatever, right?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Of course, there there's still some rules about whether or not,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you know, your content might be stirring trouble in certain
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: communities or like it doesn't sit well with our communities.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Then I understand as well that you don't want to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: stage it here, right?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: OK, that's why I want to give a small heads
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: up to our friend Xiaxue because chimed
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: in on it
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: 7 years ago, did a makeup tutorial about this person
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: You see, now you're making things worse, joking.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: So, um, would you say that, you know, when you, uh,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: do your laundry and hang your clothes at home, right,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: where do you usually hang it? Do you have like
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: those what we call galas, you know, like your mom
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: would say, you hang on the gala or a rack
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: or what is it?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: We now do indoor drying with
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the rack,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but in the past we used to hang it outside.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: But with the amount of birds in my area,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you kind of don't want it to be out there, right? Yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: maybe it's time to invest in a stein or stegan,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: however you say it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: The indoor drying rack that's a fan on
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK. Yeah, actually there are many brands that have
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: different devices to help you with that. But anyway, that's
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: another topic because, um, I bet you've not seen clothes
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: being hung over at a fitness corner before.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: You know, the fitness corner often looks a bit like
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a playground, right? But they've got more like bars and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: racks there, I guess for people to do pull-ups, push-ups
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: and all.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: These are the kind of things that you see on Stom.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so now it's made the news because a fitness
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: corner in Fernvale, like I mentioned earlier, turned into a
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: public laundry drying rack for some reason. There were shirts, shorts, towels,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and even underwear.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Hanging on multiple exercise equipment, so residents couldn't quite use
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the public facilities. This is near Block 414A Fernvale Link.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: So I think complaints were filed, and photos were posted
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: on a, there's a Facebook group called Complain Singapore, by
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the way. I didn't even know that, but yeah, it's,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: it's been posted there. A lot of um funny reactions online. Now, um,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: people are suggesting, hey, um, town council, maybe you should
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: put no drying of laundry.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: At the fitness corner now. I'm like, is it necessary?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Why is it even happening?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Can
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: ask, did they identify who the clothes belong to? No,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: they
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: didn't. So, um, the town council actually responded. They said, yes,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: we're aware of the incident. They did not mention if they,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: they did not mention who or identify who was the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: one that did that. It could even be multiple people,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to be honest. I don't know whether like
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Perhaps it could be a case where people are rooming
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: together and then they just want, you know, a separate
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: place to air and dry their clothes. Maybe there's not
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: enough space at home. I don't know the fitness corner.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: So they did come out to say they seek the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: cooperation of residents to use shared community facilities responsibly.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: And please keep it clean and enjoyable for everyone.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine? Yeah, because of this, the Fernvale Town
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Council must go and spend money to print the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: sign to
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: say no drying of your
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: laundry please no clothes here, no drying of clothes here.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Why? Why? I mean, it looks like it's clean, hopefully, but.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Even if it's clean clothes, why wouldn't hang it on that?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem very hygienic, right? This
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: air your
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: dirty laundry to a whole new level. Yeah, there you go.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Something you don't see in Singapore, but you see plenty
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: of in Europe, Australia or New
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Zealand.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, wait, where did you say?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I wasn't quite listening to the country she was listening.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether all of them have snow. Europe,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Australia, New Zealand.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Oh,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: OK, OK, yeah, yeah. It's, for example, when you go
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: on those nature walks, then you'll see, you know, a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: friendly uncle and auntie with their pet dog walking up unleashed.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: It's the friendliest dogs ever that you meet in life.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Um, I didn't have that experience when I was in. Yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: this lady's dog was, I sent you the video. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: posted it on Instagram.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: The one that looked cute at first and then it
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: went like
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's always the small dogs that you know break your
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: impression and gives you PTSD, but I want to say
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: hello to Tokyo the Labrador who lives in Scotland.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I think Tokyo and her, her owner were going up
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Ben Nevis, only the highest mountain in Scotland, right?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK, so funny. I said hill just now,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately for Tokyo the Labradoodle, Tokyo had to be
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: rescued halfway. Why? You know why?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Why? Tired.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: No, he was eating all sorts of
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: things. Oh
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: no, and Tokyo actually ingested cannabis.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait, it's growing in the, in the wilderness? No,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: mountain, OK, let's be honest, some people go to Ben
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Nevis to do some weird nonsense sometimes. OK. So yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it could be discarded cannabis by people who used it
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in Scotland. So you can see in the picture when
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: he was when she was being brought down, her face
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: is just what's happening like so confused.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Poor thing. Well, I've actually seen um videos of dogs
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: eating such substances like accidentally before. I mean, I guess
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: they got to get it flushed out at the vet
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: So
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the owner was very thankful that the rescue team arrived
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: in a matter of minutes. And because she realized that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: why is my dog not being able to use her
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: legs properly? Why is she disorientated and all that. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: You, like, honestly, a story to tell though. Like I'm sure.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: If they made a video of it, it's gone viral
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: already.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the next gossip session with Tokyo and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: her friends, she'll be backing the entire story. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: she will, she will, yeah. But this one, honestly, a
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: moment to remember for a long time. That's why even
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: in Singapore, right, like just, I mean, clearly we won't
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: be having those things strewn around the hill or whatever,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: but even for regular items like things that might have
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: been discarded like.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: You know, wrappers or sharp objects or whatever. Sometimes dogs
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: can accidentally eat those. So please be really careful.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Be careful and clean up after your
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: dog. Yeah, my one of my friends had a very
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: tragic story where, um, their family dog actually, I think,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: ate something by accident outside like at a piece of,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know, a piece of rubber or a piece
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of something. Maybe it was part of a shoe sole
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: or I don't know, like they didn't catch it, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It was too late, you know, by the time they
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: found it, so very unfortunate for the dog, but be
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: careful out there. I love my dog, Maxie. I want
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to give you a hug. I just want to squeeze
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: her till her eyeballs pop.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: No, don't
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I love you so much. Oh my goodness, Vincent Boon,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you will not.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: No wonder Maxi looks traumatized half the time. No, she's not.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: She loves it. Disclaimer, I love my mom very much.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Yes,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: we know. Disclaimer, but there's no but. I just want
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to put it out there. There's a
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: but. There's a
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: but from
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Don't
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: pretend.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: OK, can I start the story first? Yeah, yeah. Alright, so, um,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: at the start of this year, I was at the
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: heaviest I've ever been in my life, OK, 86 kg
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: because of my knee injury last year and all that,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and I told my mom, Mom, I'm in desperate need
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to lose some weight. I could use your help. OK.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: So she started to make me breakfast, almost.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Every morning and I've gone down, I've dropped about a
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: good 7 kg combined with running and all that, so
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I'm very thankful. I'm very thankful. Just that this morning,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and this is the first morning it has happened, OK,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: because my mom usually wake up very early. She'll prepare
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a nice sandwich for me with some apples and tomatoes.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: That reminds me of me when I was primary 2. Thanks.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I'm still a kid, I guess. See, I'm holding it
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: right now, OK, and my mom's menu is very extensive. OK,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: different course,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: French toast, ham and cheese. Not bad. Today's menu though, OK,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it was a bulgogi
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: sandwich.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: So, OK,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I know. And for the morning I think it might
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: be quite heavy on your tummy, right?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: So what happened was, um, you know I'm a terribly
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: light sleeper, OK? I I hear a pin drop, I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: wake up straight away and my mom knows this and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: she knows how much sleep matters to me.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Just there for her to prepare this bulgogi sandwich,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: she
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: had to be frying and all that
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and clanging cling clang cling
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: clang, OK, at 4:15, 4:30, 4:45 a.m.s rough. So I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was awake at 4:00 a.m. already because I couldn't sleep.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: So every time I heard, OK, the clanging stopped, I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: try to.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Sleep a little bit more, it starts again.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: It's
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: just like how sometimes, um, because our hours are so odd, right?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: When I go back home in the afternoon and sometimes
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: if we have like a gig at night, for example,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I want to try and like have a short nap,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: like an hour or something, and just so happened at
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that very moment when I try to close my eyes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Someone doing construction drilling and all that hacking works,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that's right. OK, so I got up at 4:45 a.m.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and the first thing I did was I went to
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: my mom. Mom, thank you for the sandwich, but can
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I ask, uh, next time, next time can prepare something
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: more simple, you know, a bit noisy, the cling clang
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: because I cannot sleep. My mom got triggered. Oh no.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: So unappreciative. I wake up so early prepare for you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a good meal, ah, you want all the sodium, all
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the MSG food, ah, so unappreciative.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: can't do anything here in this house.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Ah, when I talk, you say keep quiet. When I cook,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you say it quiet.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Let, let, let me guess, you just kind of stood
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: there not saying
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: anything, you know, in my messy hair and my pajamas.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I already imagined
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that I'm like, Ma, why are you triggered? So rude.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Don't talk. Don't talk. Don't talk. Don't talk to me.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: OK, I hate to tell you this, but there's no
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: winning anymore in this, at this point. But
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you see, ah, 99% of the time I was not affected.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Just today, that one day I just said, Ma, just
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: make something simple. You know, no need to fry bulgogi
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in the morning. Canna scolding.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Was this exactly the way that you told her, like nicely,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: or was it slightly irritable?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I don't want to trigger her also,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: so I was very respectful, you know. I gave her,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I said, Mommy, thank you. I appreciate your effort.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But next time prepare something more simple. She got angry.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: OK, OK, I got, I got an idea for you. OK, OK,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: so what I might have done is I would have
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: just sucked it up and you know, whatever. I'll just
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: say thank you, thank you so much, you know, go
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: and eat it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Um, and then the next time, not, not on the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: same day, not on the same day, give it a
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: few days, let, let it simmer first, you know, let
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it sit, and you already said thank you, love the food,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: very tasty. Maybe you go and text her right now
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: and say wow, very good sandwich.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: She knows I enjoy the food. Yeah. No,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: must reinforce. You must reinforce. You must tell her like,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I really, wow, what a great sandwich. Later in 10
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: minutes I'll tell her.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Then can you not wait, let me hear.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Then in a few days you say, but I prefer,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: actually I prefer eating this for like lunch, for example.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: So maybe for breakfast, wow, I love your ham sandwich.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I love it. But actually because you want it to
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: be quiet, just say I love my favorite, your ham sandwich.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I shall try your tactic. You must
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: do the reverse. Don't tell her not to do something.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: You must tell her to do what you like, which
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: is ham sandwich.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: If your
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: tactic works, I bring it for for bulgogi.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be ironic, but OK, uh, is this
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: an Asian parent thing, you know, did you have situations
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like this as well with your mom or dad?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, OK, so when I did when I lived with them,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: but this might be my fault at least twice a week.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop you there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: At least twice a week. It's fault. So, um, that,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: that doesn't stop life of the, you know, that's the
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: family-related routine and life to go on as usual on
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the weekends, right? So they will wake up in the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: morning and I don't know, do like vacuum the house
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: or like start cleaning or you know, doing the weekend things, right?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And I, I think I used to say like, can
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: you not start so early? But of course I couldn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: scold her because it's 1111 a.m. already. That's not. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: my mom was like, it's your fault. It's your fault
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: that you came back so late.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: agree with your mom and dad.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that, that's, that's purely on me.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: 669-11987 or you can WhatsApp us at 90.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: 050987. Do you have a similar situation with your parents?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is this an Asian parent thing or Asian household
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: thing or what?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Like you trigger them
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: unintentionally. Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Give us a call, let us know, 669-11987. We have
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: a beautiful meal for you, Gypsy at Fullerton facing the
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Marina Bay area. We want you to have it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Call us right now or you can also drop us
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: a message 90050987, um, drawing inspiration from Joe's experience this
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: morning with his mom. Do you feel like it's, it's
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: essentially a very Asian thing, right, for most likely your
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: parents or your grandparents or the people that you live with?
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Just making a lot of noise early in the morning,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: waking up the whole household.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Is that a very Asian thing?
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: I
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: want
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to say good morning to CC on WhatsApp. Hey guys, same.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: When we were younger, my mom loves to vacuum early
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: on the weekends, and one habit she had was to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: wake up at 3 to 4 a.m. to load the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: laundry so that she can hang them up early morning
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: at 3 a.m. but she purposely does it with lots
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: of noise because she wants us to know she's doing it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Offered to help, but all of us just want to sleep.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I think she finds a kick in annoying
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: all of us.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, secretly satisfied. One
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: coming in from Nilsson. Joakim, buy a white noise machine.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, it doesn't really work for me though, white noise.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I tried pink noise as well.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: What's
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: pink noise? Um, a different version of white noise. Sorry,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I can't. It's supposed to help you sleep.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Make it make sense.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: It's supposed to help you sleep. OK.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He says it's perfect for light sleepers. It will stop
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: little sounds like that from waking you up. Works wonders
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: for my kids. I don't have to be on tippy
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: toes all the time when they're asleep.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, so it helps you fall asleep and keeps you asleep.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I wonder. But if the clanging is loud enough, it
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: will wake you up, for
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: sure. It depends on the pitch of the sound as well, right?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Dude, OK, it, uh, I think to each its own,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it may work for some people. It doesn't quite work
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: for me because I don't know, my mind can be
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: quite active also. Can
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you give
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: me one example of pink noise now you got me
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a bit intrigued.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It sounds like almost a bit like static to some extent,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: but there's some, um, on Spotify, right, where the pink
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: noise comes with piano. I've tried it before,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: yeah, because when you say
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it's quite relaxing.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know why when you said pink noise, I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: just thought Mean Girls, like the vocal of the means,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you know, white noise is like.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Static or rainfall or waterfall, yes, OK, some ghost.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: There goes my career as a white noise, uh, noise
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: artist in the midst of a very relatable discussion right now,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: especially in Asian households. Do you feel like, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: your parents or grandparents will purposely make a lot of
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: noise when you're sleeping in in the morning?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Does this happen
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to you?
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: You feel like it's on purpose, but they're actually just
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: living their lives.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Actually, well, some of our listeners are saying it's on purpose,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: for
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: sure. Wanna say good morning to Shafiq on WhatsApp. Hey
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Sonia and Joakim, this happened not to me, but to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: my dad, but my siblings and I got affected. So
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: there's one day my mom cooked mutton curry when my
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: dad doesn't like it, so he just told my mom nicely.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, I don't like mutton. Why you cook? My mom
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: got triggered and said that she won't cook for the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: house the next few days and says that we don't
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: appreciate her.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I thought it was just a joke from my mom,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: but guess what, she actually meant it. We got to
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: buy outside food for a good 3 days. We all
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: blamed our father and asked him to say sorry to
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: our mom.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Because when you eat takeout food for too many days
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in a row, you suddenly miss, you know, home-cooked food, yeah,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: One coming in from Miss Tay, and she has a point.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Joakim. I agree with Sonia. It probably wasn't
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the best moment to bring it up, especially when your
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: mom was so excited to serve the breakfast she worked
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: so hard on. I'm sure she'll take it to heart
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: if we share your concerns another time. Our mom is
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: always the best.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: A disclaimer, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: love my mom.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, yes, it's just I think I don't
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: know whether like guys and girls think of this differently
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: or maybe I've had time to process it. That's why
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, but I probably wouldn't have picked, uh,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: picked on it in that moment. Also, because I don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: want to get into it before I get to go
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: to work, you know what I mean? Like I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: want to start my day like
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: that.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Fine, I'll take notes,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Dylan is on the line. Thank you for waiting. What
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: about you? I think it's super.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Because,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: uh,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: it's insane because whenever we do like, um, Monday to
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Friday work you manage to get a day off, they
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: will just wake you up for no reason, yeah, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: you're just trying to get a rest. My dad is
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: very intentional. My dad is intentional. He will come and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: use the pen and knock knock you wake up, it's
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: early in the morning. Yeah. Do you think it's also
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: because they just want to spend time with us and
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: they don't want us to like waste a whole day
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: away sleeping or doing our own thing.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: You just want quality time with us, you reckon? I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: don't think so because I do go home after work
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: and there are plenty of time to spend time with,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: but yeah, he, he's like watching the football and he
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: asked me to watch the football but that's kind of
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: cute though. He misses hanging out with you.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: OK, Dylan, when you voice your displeasure, how does he
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: receive it? Does he get triggered or is he accepting
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: of it? He
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: will just pretend that nothing happened.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Once again, yet another very Asian trait.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: There
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: we
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: go.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your call, Dylan. Thank you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: so much for your calls and your messages, by the way,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: absolutely cracked us up. If you want to catch up
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: with it, you can do so on me Listen and Spotify.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: But
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: for
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: today's winner, let's give it to Dylan who called us earlier. Congratulations.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You're like, I think this was a super relatable one
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: because in Asia, especially here in Singapore, seeing how a
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: lot of us do stay with our folks, right, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: our families for quite some time, you will experience all
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: their quirks and all these things that might trigger each
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: other.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: So Dylan, we're giving you a $100 dining experience. All
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: thanks to our friends over at Gypsy One Fullerton.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Nice. That place
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: whenever I run.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Past it,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: should I just stop and just go for a drink
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: or food. Speaking of drinks, they do have some fantastic
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: weekday happy hour specials. Drinks start at just like $12
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: between 3 to 6 p.m. and you get complimentary chicken
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: karagey with every two regular priced alcoholic drinks from 5
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to 7 p.m. So this is the kind of happy
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: hour that we want. Um, I just want to take
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you to Cross the Causeway in Malaysia right now.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: This happened that I feel could have happened to anyone,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: including private hire car drivers in Singapore. Don't
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: know why, but loads of things happen in
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Malaysia.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were gonna say loads of things
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: happening with private hire rides recently. Yeah, a lot of
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: interesting stories coming up. Anyway, this driver shared a story
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: about how a very drunk passenger boarded his car, OK.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: And this passenger was super drunk and left something behind
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in the vehicle.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: And it was actually her bra. Yeah.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: So in my mind I'm thinking like, was she? Well,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: you're really Mr. Skeptical, you know, OK, so he, he
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: was the one that came out to talk about this
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: story because it gets even better. She leaves the bra
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: behind for some reason. Maybe she's uncomfortable, she wanted to
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: lie down or she was way too drunk to realize
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: where she was. She did that. Um, he went home
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: and was going to bring his wife out for dinner.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Without checking the checking the car, he didn't check. So
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: then she comes in and she saw the bra in
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the back seat.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: And immediately, of course, I'm sure words were exchanged, maybe
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: a fight was picked. I don't know, uh, she was suspicious, but,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you know, he explained that, you know, it's not me.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, like this drunk passengers dropped
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: this drunk passenger home like, um, last night or something
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: like that, and this happened.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: So anyway, he openly talked about this story and um
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: he said, when I got home and was about to
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: take my wife out, she got really suspicious and and
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: angry and I just want to remind all passengers who
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: get into private hire cars if you're drunk, but no
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: matter how into
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: How intoxicated you are, please try not to leave your
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: items behind, trash, your bra. Take note, you're already grown up.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Don't act like a fool. Wow. He came out to
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: say that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: How can I really prove to my partner that it
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: was indeed a drunk passenger?
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: This is difficult to prove, right? I mean, unless words
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: were exchanged or you have the dashboard camera's recording sound,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: but it's only recording sound. It doesn't record the image.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a cheat.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Think about
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: it. OK, but how can like drivers protect themselves also?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, we talk about weird and difficult drivers, but
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: there are also drivers that get themselves into situations with
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: difficult passengers, right? Always
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: check the car
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the passenger leaves or even before they leave, just turn back,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: have a look at the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: back seat.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: OK, that's the thing. So it was at night and
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: her bra was black. Oh, so it was black in color.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: So I don't know whether you might not even see
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: it
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: actually. I don't know.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, so thankfully I think it sounds like
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: it's OK. He, he openly came out to explain this, so, yeah, yeah,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: that's a stitch.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I'm still questioning the events, but OK, I believe
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: him.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I believe him. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Yeah,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: I believe this guy. About to open up phone lines
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: right now for your tickets to catch Legally Blonde, the
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: musical here in Singapore. If you're not sure where this
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: came from, it's actually the iconic 2001 cult favorite film,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: and you might already know what the storyline is. I
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: was just chatting about it on air just
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: yesterday.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I cannot wait to see what Siti Khalija does
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: with the role. I know.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Peng as well. Naannya Ong's in it. Nathan Atono, Riley,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: and 3 of them, Naania, Nathan, and Riley will be
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: here in our studio live tomorrow on the shock circuit.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: So, um, just a quick question for you here today
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: to answer based off the plot of Legally Blonde. As
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: you know, the main character Elle Woods, um, she wants
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: to impress a guy and win this guy over, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: she decided she wants to be a lawyer. So she
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: made this switch in, you know, in her adult life,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and she started studying to be, be a lawyer.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: And she will face all these stereotypes of blondes because
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: she's a, she's a beautiful blonde, so she's going to
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: face these stereotypes. So, our question for you this week is,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: if you were to make a midlife career switch, just
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: do something completely left field, like completely different from what
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: you're doing right now. If you had the ability to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: do that, what would you then pursue?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Hm, could
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: be anything to be the CEO of Tau. Yeah,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: that's a good one. Yeah, why not? Why not, right?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Rake in all that cash.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Give us a call 669-11987. Actually, I wouldn't mind being
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: like Rihanna's dancer or something like that could be pretty
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: cool or Taylor Swift's, yeah, because I can't dance in
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: this lifetime. Maybe in another lifetime I can hopefully.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Hi, Sonia, this is Josh. Hi Josh, how are you today? Yeah,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm good. I'm actually on the road right
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: now going to work, that they asked to call in,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: so I decided to call
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: in. Alright, Josh, so for your Legally Blonde musical tickets,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: if you could make a midlife career switch, what are
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you doing right now and what would you do if
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: you could make that switch.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Alright, Joakim, so right now I'm actually uh in finance.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: So if I could make
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a switch,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I would actually want to choose to be a teacher.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, interesting. What, what subjects? Any subject, because as
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: a father of two, right, I mean I see how
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: important good teachers are every day, and uh my, my,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: my children also face some issues in school. The teacher
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: will be, it will be a good career and if
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: you actually ask me what subject I would think.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Math is actually very important. I mean, clearly, right, bro
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: is finance.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: If I were to ask your kids to rate your
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: teaching skills, how much do you think they will give
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: you?
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Uh,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: depends on whether
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I have, uh,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: so-called goodies for them for
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: them. I,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the goodies is bribery,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: bribery. I love that. OK, thank you so much for
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: your call and your answer and congratulations.

• 36:26
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be so much fun. Who are you going
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: to bring with you for this experience? I'm going to
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: bring my spouse, my wife. Yeah, your wife too young. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: She will love it, I think. Yeah.
