0:03
Speaker 1: Wake up.
0:05
Speaker 1: Up next to you
0:06
Speaker 2: Kicking off your day in the best way, it's Sonia
0:10
Speaker 2: and Joakim on the shock circuit.
0:12
Speaker 2: Good morning. Welcome to the show and we're here in
0:14
Speaker 2: the middle of
0:15
Speaker 2: the week.
0:15
Speaker 1: Woo! And maybe in just a while, Sonia and I
0:18
Speaker 1: can share as much as we can about the Michael movie. Sonia,
0:23
Speaker 2: I'm very excited. Exactly. Last night just with the 987 crew,
0:27
Speaker 2: Singapore's number one hit music station.
0:32
Speaker 2: This morning, Joakim has disappeared for quite some time. He
0:35
Speaker 2: went to, he said he went to get breakfast. I
0:37
Speaker 2: don't know where he went, to be honest. It's been
0:39
Speaker 2: like almost 10 minutes. That's why we were silent for
0:42
Speaker 2: a bit.
0:43
Speaker 2: I'm gonna text him and find out if he's doing
0:45
Speaker 2: OK or did the vending machine swallow him up, but
0:48
Speaker 2: we really wanted to tell you how last night went
0:51
Speaker 2: with a bunch of our listeners at the beautiful new
0:55
Speaker 2: Premiere Theater over at Shawlido. It was so awesome.
0:59
Speaker 2: Honestly, it was my first time experiencing that particular theater
1:03
Speaker 2: and uh I'm going back again, that's for sure. And
1:05
Speaker 2: Sonia and finally Joakim is back. What happened to you, bro?
1:08
Speaker 2: What happened? I'm so sorry. Where did you go? You
1:10
Speaker 2: said you went to get breakfast. I was speculating if
1:12
Speaker 2: the vending machine got you. One of
1:14
Speaker 1: those days where I was a bit indecisive, couldn't decide
1:17
Speaker 1: what to eat because for these 4 vending machines.
1:20
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say we only have vending machines
1:23
Speaker 2: to choose from at this time that we
1:24
Speaker 1: frequent here in our office. We've been there a million
1:27
Speaker 1: times already.
1:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, we, we
1:28
Speaker 2: honestly, OK, Joakim and I have this tradition where, I mean,
1:33
Speaker 2: we used to do it, but now I gave up
1:35
Speaker 2: on the vending machines. We would go to the vending
1:37
Speaker 2: machine on either the 1st floor or the 9th floor.
1:39
Speaker 2: My preference is the 9th floor, and I will go
1:42
Speaker 2: in manifesting new stuff in the vending machine.
1:47
Speaker 2: More often than not we're disappointed there's no new stuff there.
1:50
Speaker 1: It's the same stuff,
1:51
Speaker 2: different day. Yeah, that's right.
1:54
Speaker 1: So I settled with my hot sandwich again.
1:56
Speaker 2: Oh, OK, yeah, you should be the ambassador by now actually. Actually, yes,
1:59
Speaker 2: I think you're the only dude buying from there at
2:01
Speaker 2: this time of
2:02
Speaker 2: the morning.
2:02
Speaker 1: Whenever they see a spike in sales, somebody in the
2:05
Speaker 1: office is going, I must be joking.
2:08
Speaker 2: And I shared with you before, right, that I've met
2:10
Speaker 2: the owner of Hot Bakes.
2:12
Speaker 1: Exactly.
2:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's actually a really funny dude. The
2:14
Speaker 1: circuit sponsored by Hot Bakes.
2:18
Speaker 1: Does it work?
2:18
Speaker 2: I mean, we can make anything work I don't I
2:20
Speaker 2: don't mind.
2:21
Speaker 1: We are here, you know, word on the streets is
2:25
Speaker 1: here in Singapore at least people are kind of split
2:29
Speaker 1: about this whole meta glasses being available in our country.
2:33
Speaker 2: Sorry, I am a user of the Ray-Ban glasses.
2:37
Speaker 1: I mean when it comes to you, I, I trust
2:39
Speaker 1: you and I know you use it for.
2:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're not going to breach anyone's privacy.
2:45
Speaker 2: OK, so the thing is, I know that for the
2:47
Speaker 2: longest time, it wasn't available in Singapore because of that fact.
2:51
Speaker 2: It was long available in other countries. In fact, a
2:54
Speaker 2: couple of years back when I was in the US,
2:56
Speaker 2: my friends actually went to buy um when we were
2:58
Speaker 2: in New York and stuff, and they experimented with it
3:00
Speaker 2: and all, but now that it's readily available here in Singapore,
3:03
Speaker 2: I believe it's just been released like 2 days ago.
3:06
Speaker 2: Um, I would have to say that the light is
3:09
Speaker 2: pretty obvious though, the light on the glasses when you
3:12
Speaker 2: start recording.
3:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. When we come back here on the circuit,
3:15
Speaker 1: find out what people on TikTok, on threads, and even
3:19
Speaker 1: I call him the godfather of the Singapore Twitter space, Mr.
3:22
Speaker 1: Brown has said about the AI glasses being made available
3:26
Speaker 1: here in Singapore.
3:27
Speaker 2: OK, sure. Is it good or bad or is it mixed?
3:29
Speaker 2: You split, it's split.
3:30
Speaker 1: It's.
3:31
Speaker 2: I mean, I already know that there are people saying, hey,
3:33
Speaker 2: this side you can buy the sticker to like hide
3:37
Speaker 2: the light or something. I'm like, guys, why do that? Why?
3:41
Speaker 1: Eyeglasses, more specifically the Meta AI glasses,
3:45
Speaker 2: all the rage now,
3:46
Speaker 1: whether it's Ray-Ban or Oakley, it's taken over the world.
3:50
Speaker 1: People are talking about it and I'm even considering.
3:53
Speaker 1: Get a pair from the Oakley ones, I think it
3:55
Speaker 1: will really help with running content. I don't have to
3:59
Speaker 1: carry my phone anymore and film myself on the route.
4:02
Speaker 1: I can just wear it and film the route and
4:04
Speaker 1: maybe do a voiceover commentary, which is great. But on
4:07
Speaker 1: social media, TikTok threads, and maybe even Twitter, some Singaporeans
4:12
Speaker 1: are saying, 00, the Chikope are celebrating.
4:16
Speaker 1: Which, which, honestly, I'm a little bit worried as well.
4:21
Speaker 1: I don't know how feasible the, the light is to
4:24
Speaker 1: let people know that you're filming, but apparently on Meta's website,
4:28
Speaker 1: they say that if the light is covered, you cannot
4:31
Speaker 1: film anything until you uncover the light. But I don't
4:35
Speaker 1: know whether people find a way around it because people
4:38
Speaker 1: are worried that, hey, you know, with so much of
4:40
Speaker 1: voyeurism cases here in Singapore with the phones already.
4:43
Speaker 1: With these AI glasses that can film things but just
4:46
Speaker 1: wearing that on your eyes and people might not know
4:48
Speaker 1: you're filming, what's gonna happen?
4:51
Speaker 2: You know what, I think they had to think about
4:53
Speaker 2: this very carefully before actually passing the laws here in
4:57
Speaker 2: Singapore to release it. But that's why I mentioned it was,
5:00
Speaker 2: it took a long time for it to be released
5:02
Speaker 2: here in Singapore, right? So I wonder, and I wonder
5:05
Speaker 2: whether who around here, is there a task force that
5:07
Speaker 2: can answer this question?
5:10
Speaker 2: Because look, the, the fact is we are quite behind
5:13
Speaker 2: the world, you know. The world has released it years ago.
5:17
Speaker 2: So who's the one that can answer us on all
5:19
Speaker 2: these questions, like privacy
5:21
Speaker 2: questions?
5:21
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to sound as if it's
5:24
Speaker 1: very gender specific. Yeah, but, but, but to my sisters
5:28
Speaker 1: here in Singapore, I guess now that the Meta AI
5:31
Speaker 1: glasses have become.
5:32
Speaker 1: Prevalent here in our country. I think it's available as
5:34
Speaker 1: of Monday, April 20th. Just, just, just be wary of
5:38
Speaker 1: your surroundings just in case.
5:40
Speaker 2: So, so one thing I want to share that I
5:42
Speaker 2: thought was really cool for it. Um, I, I actually
5:45
Speaker 2: got it quite early. So I mean, a few days
5:48
Speaker 2: earlier ahead of the release date. So I decided to
5:50
Speaker 2: bring it out for a test run over at a
5:52
Speaker 2: music festival on Saturday. OK. And what I thought was
5:55
Speaker 2: great was that I did not take out my phone
5:57
Speaker 2: a single time. Great. Because, you know, you know the
6:01
Speaker 2: whole debate about
6:02
Speaker 2: Um, your concert experience and how people get so annoyed.
6:05
Speaker 2: Sometimes even the artists and the bands get annoyed that
6:08
Speaker 2: all people do, you know, they just put their phones
6:10
Speaker 2: up and record the entire thing, right? Nothing wrong with recording.
6:13
Speaker 2: I mean, it's up to you how you want to
6:15
Speaker 2: have your concert experience, but we always love to see
6:17
Speaker 2: people immersed in the moment, really enjoy the music, right?
6:20
Speaker 2: And I realized that with the Meta glasses, mine, mine
6:23
Speaker 2: are the Ray-Ban pair, the one that Jenny wears, very cool. Um, I,
6:28
Speaker 2: I was just
6:29
Speaker 2: Really fully in the set. I didn't even take out
6:31
Speaker 2: my phone a single time. I looked back at the footage.
6:33
Speaker 2: I was laughing because my friends were having so much
6:35
Speaker 2: fun in my footage. The only thing was that I
6:37
Speaker 2: wasn't really in the footage, but except for the one
6:39
Speaker 2: time my friend took my glasses and then she was like, Here, go,
6:42
Speaker 2: go and go and be in the footage for a while. Actually,
6:45
Speaker 1: can you remove your glasses? You can press the button
6:48
Speaker 1: to record yourself. You could.
6:49
Speaker 2: I didn't try that, but, um, my friend actually wore it. So,
6:53
Speaker 2: you know, it's, it's more accurate like when.
6:55
Speaker 2: You see someone face to face. OK, beautiful. It was
6:57
Speaker 2: really cool. Honestly, I, I want to show you some
6:59
Speaker 2: of the footage that I, I got actually. Now
7:01
Speaker 1: my next question is this for future concerts here in Singapore,
7:04
Speaker 1: maybe say the Star Theater, Indoor Stadium, stadium, right? Will
7:08
Speaker 1: we see a new sign saying no meta AI glasses allowed?
7:13
Speaker 2: Well, um, if you are hoping to rip off content,
7:17
Speaker 2: you have to keep your head very still. I don't
7:19
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be the best idea.
7:22
Speaker 2: You know how people rip off like movies and stuff.
7:24
Speaker 2: They actually input like on a tripod. They, you know,
7:27
Speaker 2: they put it properly 4K everything. So I, I don't
7:29
Speaker 2: think it's feasible. To
7:30
Speaker 1: which
7:31
Speaker 1: the one person you can't rip off Sonia Chow because
7:34
Speaker 1: at every festival or club she's bobbing her head, shaky
7:37
Speaker 1: footage gonna vomit crying is correct.
7:41
Speaker 2: Yes. Uh, by the way, we're supposed to fill in
7:43
Speaker 2: our listeners about the.
7:44
Speaker 2: Movie. You know what, after 7 a.m.'s do it the
7:47
Speaker 2: first thing after 7 a.m. About to open up phone
7:49
Speaker 2: lines right now, 669-11987. You know this, all throughout this week,

7:56

Speaker 1: want to buy it on Ticketmaster, we've got some bestie

8:21
Speaker 2: Exactly. So we would love for you to have this experience.
8:24

10:07
Speaker 2: You're gonna love it. We'll see you there.
10:10
Speaker 2: Thank you. So we had a fun time with some
10:12
Speaker 2: of our 987 listeners last night. Very, very, very grateful
10:17
Speaker 2: to our friends over at Shaw Lido
10:19
Speaker 1: and Universal Pictures Singapore. I must say we really pampered
10:23
Speaker 1: our listeners yesterday. For the very first time, it was
10:26
Speaker 1: almost like a business class experience when it comes to movies.
10:29
Speaker 1: We had it in Lido
10:31
Speaker 2: Premiere. It was my first time actually. So I mean,
10:34
Speaker 2: you even get the table service, you know, um, the complimentary.
10:37
Speaker 2: Popcorn and a drink on your first order and you
10:40
Speaker 2: can select from um a little menu as well.
10:43
Speaker 1: I caught Nuremberg there a few weeks ago you did.
10:45
Speaker 2: OK, OK, beautiful,
10:46
Speaker 1: and the seats. I wonder if you fall asleep during
10:49
Speaker 1: the movie, is it a compliment to Lido's very nice sitting? I,
10:53
Speaker 2: I, I, I love the blanket also, so comfortable.
10:56
Speaker 1: That's it. Let's get to it. Michael, Sonia, you were
11:00
Speaker 1: crying more than once.
11:01
Speaker 2: Can you not call me up next to you, you're
11:03
Speaker 2: not even.
11:04
Speaker 2: Right next to me, you're like a distance away.
11:06
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I heard you. I heard you sniffing
11:08
Speaker 1: and sniffing and all that 3 times.
11:10
Speaker 2: OK, yes, I am a very invested emotional person when
11:14
Speaker 2: it comes to films. OK. OK. And uh, when, when
11:18
Speaker 2: I let that side of me take over, I just
11:20
Speaker 2: fully immersed in the movie. Well done. Um, I actually
11:23
Speaker 2: quite enjoyed it. I would say that I, I, um,
11:26
Speaker 2: I went in with an open mind. I didn't want
11:28
Speaker 2: to read any prior critics' reviews of it.
11:31
Speaker 2: Um, you know, Michael Jackson is someone that I would
11:34
Speaker 2: say even my parents felt very strongly about when they
11:37
Speaker 2: were very into music back then. It's their generation exactly. So,
11:42
Speaker 2: somewhat we are also influenced, you know. I, I actually
11:45
Speaker 2: enjoyed it because there was a lot of, and this
11:47
Speaker 2: is not a spoiler, there were a lot of performance moments. Yeah, and,
11:51
Speaker 2: and Jaafar Jackson, please take a bow. Honestly, I really
11:56
Speaker 2: enjoyed his performance.
11:58
Speaker 1: Both agree about Jaafar Jackson because he captured the voice,
12:02
Speaker 1: the dance moves, and the aura of Michael Jackson, even
12:05
Speaker 1: the spoken voice, and even the young boy as well,
12:07
Speaker 1: Giuliano Vardy, who, who played young Michael Jackson. But, but
12:12
Speaker 1: here's what I wish the film did more of. OK, look,
12:15
Speaker 1: it's not a spoiler, but it will focus on the
12:18
Speaker 1: strained relationship between Michael Jackson's father and Michael Jackson himself.
12:22
Speaker 1: But I wish they gave us more in.
12:25
Speaker 1: The behind the scenes look of Michael as compared to
12:29
Speaker 1: more of the stage things that that is easily a
12:32
Speaker 1: YouTube search away, you know
12:33
Speaker 1: what I mean?
12:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:34
Speaker 2: Um, OK. Putting my filmmaker, uh, I'm not a filmmaker,
12:39
Speaker 2: but I studied film back in school, right? I'm just
12:41
Speaker 2: putting that on right now. If they were to cover
12:44
Speaker 2: more aspects and facets of Michael Jackson's life, the movie
12:48
Speaker 2: might be 5 hours long. That's true, you know, so
12:50
Speaker 2: I think they had to be strategic about what they
12:52
Speaker 2: wanted to cut and feature in this film. And, and
12:55
Speaker 2: if you want to add in just
12:57
Speaker 2: So many different things and views and theories and, and all,
13:01
Speaker 2: it's going to be far too complicated. I enjoyed it
13:04
Speaker 2: just as a viewer relaxed, just watching the performances. It
13:08
Speaker 2: was great. I
13:09
Speaker 1: don't mind having an open discourse about this, so please,
13:11
Speaker 1: if you can go watch the movie, uh, preferably in IMAX,
13:15
Speaker 1: the screen, the movie is made for it. Go enjoy.
13:17
Speaker 1: I'm pretty, I'm very sure the sound and.
13:19
Speaker 1: The classic Michael Jackson songs would sound 10 times better
13:22
Speaker 1: with IMAX speakers.
13:23
Speaker 2: Excellent. Yeah. Well, um, regardless, we hope our 987 listeners
13:27
Speaker 2: enjoyed themselves too. So please go check out the brand new,
13:31
Speaker 2: I would say it's pretty much brand new. It still
13:32
Speaker 2: smells new. The Premiere theater over at Sholi Dome. Don't
13:36
Speaker 2: destroy it. Thank you for joining us here
13:38
Speaker 2: today.
13:38
Speaker 1: Pretty sure Harry Styles is gearing up for a world
13:41
Speaker 1: tour very soon.
13:42
Speaker 2: Actually, some updates about his personal life, to be honest.
13:46
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm looking forward to it if he's got
13:47
Speaker 2: a world tour coming up because I I really enjoyed
13:49
Speaker 2: his previous one. Is
13:51
Speaker 1: he getting married?
13:52
Speaker 2: Actually, he might be, you know. So you said
13:55
Speaker 1: that
13:56
Speaker 2: as a joke, is it? Did you say that as
13:58
Speaker 2: a joke?
13:58
Speaker 1: Yes, because everyone's getting married this year.
14:00
Speaker 2: So everyone seems to be entering their commitment era for
14:04
Speaker 2: some reason.
14:05
Speaker 2: Um, this isn't confirmed, OK? It's not confirmed, but for
14:08
Speaker 2: a while now, he's been dating Zoe Kravitz. He's, cool couple,
14:13
Speaker 2: you know, they've never been very open about their relationship,
14:16
Speaker 2: but in recent days, I think paparazzi caught them, um,
14:20
Speaker 2: took some photos of them on a date outside, you know,
14:22
Speaker 2: very candid, casual, a bit of PD.
14:24
Speaker 2: Here and there, but they're just in their hoodies and
14:26
Speaker 2: very chill, you know. I mean, celebrities are human after all. Exactly.
14:30
Speaker 2: I like their energy. I like Zoe Kravitz. She's a
14:31
Speaker 2: certified cool girl. Harry Styles is cool too, um, and
14:35
Speaker 2: he's had a history of dating only the coolest girls,
14:38
Speaker 2: including Kiko Mizuhara, one of my favorite models of all time.
14:42
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems like Zoe Kravitz was spotted with
14:46
Speaker 2: a certain rock on a certain finger.
14:49
Speaker 2: She was wearing a diamond ring on her 4th finger,
14:52
Speaker 2: on her engagement ring finger. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
14:55
Speaker 2: Neither one of them has said anything so far and
14:58
Speaker 2: no reports have come out to confirm, but people definitely
15:01
Speaker 2: said like, yo, that, that is a very strategic ring
15:04
Speaker 2: on a certain finger.
15:05
Speaker 2: That it won't just be an accessory, you know.
15:09
Speaker 1: So I'm zooming into the picture right now. It does
15:12
Speaker 1: look like an engagement
15:13
Speaker 1: ring,
15:13
Speaker 2: right? It does.
15:15
Speaker 1: And if it is such, then congratulations to Harry Styles
15:18
Speaker 1: and Zoe Kravitz. Wow,
15:19
Speaker 2: I hear the girls out there weeping. Harry Styles is
15:22
Speaker 2: off the market officially. Wow,
15:24
Speaker 1: if Zoe takes his last name.
15:26
Speaker 1: Name Zoe
15:27
Speaker 2: Styles. That sounds pretty nice. Not too bad, but I
15:29
Speaker 2: don't think she would change it. Zoe Kravitz iconic, man. Yeah,
15:32
Speaker 1: Zoe Kravitz Styles. hyphenate the surname
15:36
Speaker 1: one time.
15:36
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm going to hyphenate my surname or
15:38
Speaker 2: change my surname? Actually, I don't never asked you for
15:40
Speaker 2: your opinion about this.
15:41
Speaker 1: Sonia Chew Song has a weird ring.
15:45
Speaker 2: It basically means hand pain in Hokkien.
15:49
Speaker 2: If you just tuned in to us and you had
15:51
Speaker 2: no idea that the money has snowballed, $9000 is the
15:56
Speaker 2: official number that's up for grabs right now. And
15:58
Speaker 1: don't
15:58

Speaker 2: I've always been an advocate of cold plunging and honestly,
16:34
Speaker 2: we would love for you to win this, but you
16:36
Speaker 2: have to tune into every show because you never know
16:39
Speaker 2: when the secret buzzer is going to go off.
16:41
Speaker 1: 987
16:42
Speaker 2: secret.
16:46
Speaker 1: that sound.
16:48
Speaker 1: Good morning, Kelvin here. Hello,
16:50
Speaker 2: Kelvin. What's going on for you today, man?
16:53
Speaker 1: I'm driving to work right now. OK, Kelvin, I'm assuming
16:56
Speaker 1: you've listened to every single show. You know the wrong guesses,
17:00
Speaker 1: so the guess you're going to give us is an intelligent,
17:03
Speaker 1: fresh one, right? Yes,
17:04
Speaker 2: I hope so. I hope so too. Fingers crossed. OK,
17:07
Speaker 2: listen very carefully. Here's the sound you have to identify.
17:12
Speaker 2: For $9000 what is 987's secret sound? I guess it's
17:17
Speaker 2: unlocking a lock. Unlocking a lock is your final answer. Yes.
17:22
Speaker 2: You are
17:22
Speaker 2: incorrect.
17:24
Speaker 1: Your chance to play 987's
17:26
Speaker 2: secret sound continues.
17:30
Speaker 1: sound
17:31
Speaker 1: Kelvin, what happened? Unlocking a lock has been said many times.
17:36
Speaker 1: Aiya at the earlier rounds of the game and it
17:40
Speaker 1: was still 5K.
17:42
Speaker 2: OK, well, no worries. The good thing is that at
17:44
Speaker 2: least you got through the phone lines and you gave
17:46
Speaker 2: it a shot. So keep trying, OK?
17:47
Speaker 1: Next time, Kelvin, take care. See you, bye.
17:51
Speaker 1: One guess.
17:58
Speaker 1: What's the randomest thing that you feel like isn't a
18:02
Speaker 1: crime to our parents, but they still scold you for it?
18:07
Speaker 1: Like, I'm not talking about lying, stealing, or being rude
18:09
Speaker 1: to them or what, like the things that you do, right,
18:12
Speaker 1: but your mom and dad will still nna
18:13
Speaker 2: you. Yeah, shake leg if I ever shake my leg. OK,
18:17
Speaker 1: shake leg is like a crime to
18:18
Speaker 2: our
18:19
Speaker 1: parents.
18:19
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a crime. OK, to be fair, because of
18:21
Speaker 2: the fact that
18:22
Speaker 2: My dad was very strict about the leg shaking thing
18:25
Speaker 2: when I was a kid. I don't actually shake my
18:27
Speaker 2: leg at all. Um, but also something else was how
18:31
Speaker 2: I use my chopsticks back then. Um, because if you
18:35
Speaker 2: don't use your chopsticks properly, chances are it's going to
18:38
Speaker 2: be crossing over each other or like you hold it
18:40
Speaker 2: too low, you know, things like that. So I learned
18:42
Speaker 2: how to use chopsticks the right way from my grandma
18:45
Speaker 2: back then and my dad's side of the family.
18:47
Speaker 2: So I, I must say my chopstick skill is very good. OK,
18:51
Speaker 1: yeah, alright,
18:52
Speaker 1: well, well done. You're a chopstick.
18:54
Speaker 1: I'm
18:54
Speaker 2: a chopstick
18:55
Speaker 1: queen, whatever they call it. Anyway, um, over the weekend,
18:59
Speaker 1: went to my usual bread talk, one of three orders
19:03
Speaker 1: my sausage bun, my pork floss, and my, uh, mochi
19:06
Speaker 1: coffee bun. I have ham and cheese as well, yes,
19:08
Speaker 1: I love those, and the apple worm sometimes I allow
19:10
Speaker 1: myself that.
19:11
Speaker 1: I was really hungry lah. OK, so after buying a
19:15
Speaker 1: sausage bun and a chocolate donut, which I like from
19:18
Speaker 1: Bread Talk, I was like, OK, I'm gonna eat one
19:21
Speaker 1: while walking home next to my mom. So after taking
19:24
Speaker 1: my second bite, my mom realizes that I'm eating while walking, right?
19:28
Speaker 1: Cho Kim cannot eat while walking. Such a bad look
19:32
Speaker 1: on you.
19:33
Speaker 2: Why?
19:34
Speaker 1: Why is that a bad look, Mom, I'm hungry. Cannot.
19:37
Speaker 1: What if someone takes a picture?
19:40
Speaker 2: OK, hold on. I do know that in Japan, if
19:44
Speaker 2: I'm not wrong, aside from you're not allowed to smoke
19:47
Speaker 2: and walk in public, um, I think the whole eating
19:50
Speaker 2: and walking thing might also be frowned upon. It is
19:53
Speaker 2: not a rule that you can't do that. It's not
19:55
Speaker 2: a law, but I think just in general, um, people
19:58
Speaker 2: don't do that.
20:01
Speaker 1: Google
20:01
Speaker 1: It's better to eat at the vending machine or wherever
20:04
Speaker 1: you bought it and then you start walking in Japan. No,
20:06
Speaker 2: but, but sometimes it's because I'm in a hurry, OK,
20:09
Speaker 2: I will eat and walk too. I've done it many times. Um,
20:12
Speaker 2: I try my best not to eat in the car,
20:14
Speaker 2: although I have done it a couple of times when
20:16
Speaker 2: I was desperate. Yeah, I was desperate.
20:18
Speaker 1: So my mom was like, yeah, very unhygienic. It's a
20:20
Speaker 1: bad look. stay somewhere and eat, then you walk.
20:24
Speaker 1: But why,
20:24
Speaker 2: why people can eat ice cream anymore? That's why different
20:27
Speaker 2: double standard hypocrisy.
20:29
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but Mom, I'm very hungry. I
20:31
Speaker 1: know home is just like 5 minutes away,
20:33
Speaker 2: you couldn't wait the 5 minutes.
20:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to eat. So I think that's
20:36
Speaker 1: the most random thing. My mom is kind of, I
20:39
Speaker 1: won't use the word nag is
20:41
Speaker 2: correct. Yeah. Well, um, my mom would never nag at
20:44
Speaker 2: me about that because she does it.
20:47
Speaker 2: She has taken a photo before of her eating probably
20:49
Speaker 2: a pork floss bun from Bread Talk and saying that
20:51
Speaker 2: she was really hungry and then I think there was
20:54
Speaker 2: one funny one. She said she was waiting at the
20:56
Speaker 2: bus stop near her place, near my parents' place, and
21:00
Speaker 2: she was eating a bun, and I think, um, the
21:03
Speaker 2: topping of the bun fell on her shirt, and then
21:05
Speaker 2: she took a picture and said, what damn Pai say.
21:08
Speaker 2: So I say, you know what, that's something my mom
21:10
Speaker 2: won't nag at me about,
21:11
Speaker 1: and I was just telling my mom, Mom, don't worry,
21:14
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna waste your time stomping me eating a doughnut
21:17
Speaker 1: while
21:17
Speaker 1: walking home.
21:18
Speaker 2: Not news. Don't worry, it's
21:19
Speaker 1: not news unless, unless 987 DJ caught eating doughnut while walking.
21:25
Speaker 2: Come on, don't.
21:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're asking for it there. Opening up phone lines
21:29
Speaker 2: right now, 669-11987. We'd love to know, do you have
21:33
Speaker 2: this habit? Do you realize this about yourself? Do you
21:36
Speaker 2: eat and walk perhaps when you're rushing from place to place?
21:40
Speaker 1: Or can you eat and walk at the same time?
21:42
Speaker 1: I know some people who can't because they will start
21:43
Speaker 1: to drop food on the floor.
21:47
Speaker 1: Oh, OK.
21:48
Speaker 2: Well, let us know. 669-11987 or drop us a message
21:51
Speaker 2: to 90050987, and you could walk away with something that
21:56
Speaker 2: you can sit down and eat at, OK, Estate restaurant
21:59
Speaker 2: over at Hilton. On a bit of a cute one
22:01
Speaker 2: here today where Joe was just telling us that he
22:03
Speaker 2: got nagged at by his mom for walking and eating,
22:07
Speaker 2: to which she said what it wasn't.
22:09
Speaker 2: It's not very glamorous, is it? Not a good look.
22:11
Speaker 2: Not a good look.
22:12
Speaker 1: OK, that's very
22:12
Speaker 2: unhygienic. Oh, it's
22:15
Speaker 1: from Junction 8 to where I live. It's like a
22:17
Speaker 1: 5 minute walk. OK,
22:19
Speaker 2: never mind. I just let her have that.
22:22
Speaker 1: What, I let her everything, is it? OK. I want
22:25
Speaker 1: to say good morning to Kim on water. Today's question,
22:28
Speaker 1: do you do the same? Are you OK with walking
22:30
Speaker 1: and eating at the same time? Kim says, morning guys.
22:32
Speaker 1: One time I bought some on day one.
22:35
Speaker 1: And greedy me popped one into my mouth while I
22:37
Speaker 1: was walking home. The one day burst in my mouth,
22:40
Speaker 1: and the gula malaka went right to the back of
22:42
Speaker 1: my throat. I truly thought I was going to die
22:44
Speaker 1: right there.
22:47
Speaker 1: We don't mean to laugh, Kim. I had no water,
22:49
Speaker 1: no tissue. I just coughed and coughed and finally caught
22:51
Speaker 1: my breath and managed to survive.
22:53
Speaker 2: The question was, was there anyone around her? Can I
22:56
Speaker 2: ask her, ask her.
22:57
Speaker 2: Kim, was there anyone around you that witnessed that?
23:00
Speaker 1: One more coming in from John. Absolutely guys, especially when
23:04
Speaker 1: you visit a pasar malam or overseas night market. Exactly.
23:07
Speaker 1: You have to eat as much as possible and you
23:09
Speaker 1: have to eat them when it's freshly made before it
23:11
Speaker 1: gets really soggy and the flavor gets lost
23:14
Speaker 1: as well.
23:15
Speaker 2: Can I, can I tell you something that I did
23:17
Speaker 2: a couple of years back, OK.
23:19
Speaker 2: So when I, um, when I was, I think I
23:22
Speaker 2: was out that whole day or something, I was pretty busy, OK,
23:25
Speaker 2: and in the middle of the day I was very hungry.
23:27
Speaker 2: I wanted to go get some lunch. I had a
23:28
Speaker 2: sudden craving for this specific noodles, like specific chakrit from
23:32
Speaker 2: this specific hawk hawker center, and, um, it's not the
23:35
Speaker 2: kind of thing where you can walk and eat, right?
23:38
Speaker 2: And there was no space at the hawker center, OK,
23:41
Speaker 2: stood there and I tap out it.
23:44
Speaker 2: I walked to my car, which was in the car
23:45
Speaker 2: park at the hawker center. I put on the bonnet
23:48
Speaker 2: and I started eating there like an uncle.
23:51
Speaker 1: This is Singaporean survival instincts 101, OK. I literally
23:55
Speaker 2: stood there. I ate, and I think actually an uncle
23:58
Speaker 2: saw me do that and gave me a thumbs up.
24:00
Speaker 1: Well done.
24:02
Speaker 2: Alright lah. I know how you feel. Yeah, so when
24:05
Speaker 2: I told my, I don't know if my parents remember this,
24:07
Speaker 2: but when I told them this, my dad was like,
24:10
Speaker 2: Why you become like taxi uncle.
24:13
Speaker 2: Why,
24:15
Speaker 1: why no one took a picture of that?
24:17
Speaker 2: It was, there was no one really hanging around in
24:19
Speaker 2: the car park.
24:20
Speaker 1: 987
24:21
Speaker 1: DJ caught eating chocolate on
24:22
Speaker 2: car bonnet. Why is that news, right? That's the question.
24:25
Speaker 2: Why is that news? OK.
24:27
Speaker 2: Anyway, um, keep the messages coming in and the stories. 669-11987.
24:32
Speaker 2: Seeing how Joakim got nagged at by his mom for, um,
24:35
Speaker 2: walking and eating. Is that something that you do? Like
24:38
Speaker 2: sometimes you're just so hungry, it takes over you, you know,
24:40
Speaker 2: you're desperate.
24:41
Speaker 1: If we
24:42
Speaker 1: do like your answer, what's coming your way, of course,
24:43
Speaker 1: a very nice dining experience to estate over at Hilton Singapore.
24:46
Speaker 1: Can I give you one confession? You know, breakfast buffets
24:49
Speaker 1: at hotels, you know, the hash brown in the circle
24:52
Speaker 2: shape when you're walking back to the table you eat,
24:53
Speaker 2: is it? Yes.
24:55
Speaker 2: Having such a good laugh right now at your messages. Oh,
24:59
Speaker 2: we're talking about eating and walking, OK. Joakim got nagged
25:03
Speaker 2: at by his mom for doing that, saying it's not
25:05
Speaker 2: only unhygienic, it is also not a good look for you,
25:09
Speaker 2: according to her.
25:10
Speaker 2: And I mean, I know a lot of Singaporeans that
25:12
Speaker 2: do that, but in other cultures, I think specifically Japan,
25:15
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty frowned upon. Yeah,
25:17
Speaker 1: so Dom actually texted us and said, Hey guys, yes,
25:20
Speaker 1: my wife is Japanese, and she cannot tahan walking while eating. Also,
25:25
Speaker 1: when my son buys something like a power or donut
25:28
Speaker 1: and very excitedly digs into it there and then, she
25:31
Speaker 1: will scold and stop him from doing it. So he
25:34
Speaker 1: has to put it back and wait.
25:35
Speaker 1: Until we get to a private space. It's almost as
25:38
Speaker 1: if it's a serious crime or sin like that. I
25:41
Speaker 1: don't get it. Oh man,
25:41
Speaker 2: I don't, I mean, OK, so for me, right, if
25:43
Speaker 2: I get, for example, chunky curry puff, I need to
25:47
Speaker 2: enjoy it. I'm chowing I'm, I'm eating it right now
25:50
Speaker 2: because I need it. Uh,
25:52
Speaker 1: Lim says actually in Japan and Korea, you're supposed to
25:54
Speaker 1: buy and food at a store you bought it in
25:56
Speaker 1: because you can't find any dustbins after you leave the store.
26:01
Speaker 1: your trash with you for a long time. Eat and
26:03
Speaker 1: walk is rude in those
26:04
Speaker 1: countries.
26:05
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we, we noticed that it's just that sometimes, right,
26:10
Speaker 2: what you're rushing like from your, your, your block to
26:14
Speaker 2: your office, like you don't have time to stand there
26:16
Speaker 2: and eat is my question. Like, I don't know. OK,
26:20
Speaker 2: anyway,
26:20
Speaker 1: and one more coming in from Jack, a one-liner. My
26:24
Speaker 1: mom has more stringent advice for her children.
26:26
Speaker 1: People who take their meals standing up are known as
26:29
Speaker 1: poor souls to her.
26:32
Speaker 2: Ku minguiku ming gui. I never heard of this.
26:34
Speaker 1: Poor soul. Is
26:36
Speaker 2: it
26:36
Speaker 1: a
26:36
Speaker 2: bad, uh, bad feng shui thing to eat and walk?
26:39
Speaker 1: I mean, for her mom, for his mom to say that,
26:42
Speaker 1: definitely bad to her, I guess.
26:44
Speaker 2: Maybe, maybe it's their own belief. Uh, wanna give a
26:47
Speaker 2: big shout out here to TT. You didn't quite leave
26:50
Speaker 2: your name.
26:51
Speaker 2: Um, but you did leave an AI picture of me
26:55
Speaker 2: eating chocolate on the car based off my story earlier on.
26:59
Speaker 1: And based on this AI picture, the Honda looks very old. Which,
27:03
Speaker 1: which era in the
27:04
Speaker 2: 90s was this Honda Accord or something. I don't know
27:08
Speaker 2: what Honda this was, but that's hilarious, but it's very
27:11
Speaker 2: scary lah. It actually looks very much like me. I wonder,
27:15
Speaker 1: I wonder which picture of you he used to AI
27:17
Speaker 1: this because your.
27:18
Speaker 1: Bulgari jewelry still there.
27:19
Speaker 2: Yeah,
27:19
Speaker 2: exactly. I noticed that too. You noticed that maybe it was, yeah,
27:24
Speaker 2: one of the recent pictures from our work things. don't
27:27
Speaker 2: play AI, yeah, I get, but my face is 7 80% there, 70, 80% there.
27:34
Speaker 2: You look Thai over here. Oh, thank you, thank you. What?
27:37
Speaker 2: Thai people are beautiful.
27:38
Speaker 2: Oh, I love them. Can I go first to Sam Felts,
27:41
Speaker 2: Emily Warren, continue getting your messages through. We, we love
27:45
Speaker 2: to hear it. Having such a good laugh this morning.
27:47
Speaker 2: Do you eat and walk? I just having a good
27:50
Speaker 2: laugh at your messages here today seems like more of
27:52
Speaker 2: a text-heavy one because some of you even sending photos,
27:56
Speaker 2: photo evidence of you eating and walking at the same time.
27:59
Speaker 2: Is that really frowned upon here in Singapore?
28:03
Speaker 1: Elston on WhatsApp says morning, Sonia and Joki. Taiwan night
28:07
Speaker 1: markets offer a wide variety of delicious food and many
28:10
Speaker 1: dishes that are best eaten while they are still hot. However,
28:14
Speaker 1: most stalls do not provide tables and chairs, so tourists
28:16
Speaker 1: like us often have to eat while walking. Yeah. My
28:20
Speaker 1: father can't do that. He needs to stand still when
28:22
Speaker 1: he eats.
28:24
Speaker 1: He asked me how am I able to eat and
28:26
Speaker 1: walk at the same time because his legs does not
28:28
Speaker 1: listen when he tries. He joked that maybe eating and
28:31
Speaker 1: walking at the same time is a skill only younger
28:34
Speaker 1: people have. It's
28:35
Speaker 2: like multitasking. OK, no, no, no, I disagree. My mom
28:38
Speaker 2: can do it perfectly. She's very good at it, but
28:41
Speaker 2: she did spill a couple of things on herself, so.
28:43
Speaker 1: I mean walking and eating, OK, your legs are moving,
28:45
Speaker 1: your hands are moving, your
28:47
Speaker 2: mouth
28:48
Speaker 1: has to look down at the food and look up
28:49
Speaker 1: at the road and see where you're going. Yeah, it
28:51
Speaker 1: can be quite tough for
28:52
Speaker 2: a few people. Multitasking, yeah, I would say, um, but
28:55
Speaker 2: having been to Taiwan a couple of times, I do agree.
28:58
Speaker 2: There are even those um breakfast spots, right? OK, and
29:01
Speaker 2: some of these are the best.
29:02
Speaker 2: It was near my hotel and um I recall there
29:05
Speaker 2: was this auntie, just this one auntie running the store.
29:09
Speaker 2: It's a roadside store and because the area that we
29:11
Speaker 2: were at, it was like convenience store and then you know,
29:15
Speaker 2: other touristy things, but then all of a sudden there
29:17
Speaker 2: was this corner shop run by an auntie, right? And
29:20
Speaker 2: I saw the locals actually buying from there.
29:23
Speaker 2: Um, and she sold the Taiwan miso, you know, the
29:26
Speaker 2: oyster miso, ah, so good for breakfast. Yeah, that's their
29:29
Speaker 2: breakfast food. Wow, it's, it's like porridge
29:32
Speaker 1: because I was about to ask whether is a Taiwanese
29:34
Speaker 1: breakfast the same as like a breakfast from Hong Kong,
29:37
Speaker 1: you know, like and all that.
29:39
Speaker 2: It's like a cha chan, but there's no seating area,
29:42
Speaker 2: so people were buying and they were just walking and
29:45
Speaker 2: eating at the same time.
29:47
Speaker 1: Oyster
29:47
Speaker 1: miswa for breakfast.
29:48
Speaker 2: OK, that one I had to stop and eat. I
29:50
Speaker 2: couldn't walk and eat that one, stood over there and
29:52
Speaker 2: ate for a while. I mean,
29:53
Speaker 1: if
29:53
Speaker 1: that's their breakfast, I wonder what their lunch and
29:55
Speaker 1: dinner.
29:55
Speaker 2: So
29:56
Speaker 1: good,
29:56
Speaker 2: honestly, you will love the food in Taiwan. It's not
29:59
Speaker 2: so heavy like what you think. It's, it's almost like
30:02
Speaker 2: a porridge breakfast for us, you know, but,
30:04
Speaker 1: but you know me, I'm a simple man, right? I
30:06
Speaker 1: go to Taiwan. The first thing I want to have
30:07
Speaker 1: is the s. No, I'm kidding, the shi chicken from
30:11
Speaker 1: Shilin itself. Am I saying that right?
30:13
Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, I'm, you know, I'm the
30:15
Speaker 2: worst person ever when it comes to these things, forget it. Um,
30:19
Speaker 2: but please go there the next time you go there,
30:21
Speaker 2: try the miso. I think you will like it. Thank
30:22
Speaker 2: you so much for joining us today. OK, so only
30:25
Speaker 2: one person can walk away with this wonderful experience thanks
30:28
Speaker 2: to Estate or at Hilton Hotel.
30:30
Speaker 1: We are introducing a brand new champagne brunch. Lovely. So
30:36
Speaker 1: whenever there's a champagne brunch, chances are you might.
30:38

30:41

31:04
Speaker 1: Austin. Bring your dad with you. How about that? Alright,
31:07
Speaker 2: congratulations. This is worth $100. We hope to see you there.
31:10
Speaker 2: And please tag us and also tag Estate Restaurant. Coming
31:15
Speaker 2: up right after 9 a.m. Got a couple of things
31:17
Speaker 2: to look forward to.
31:18
Speaker 1: Sonia, I got a question for you. Yes, you would
31:20
Speaker 1: call me a very skeptical person, right? Yes.
31:24
Speaker 1: No hesitation. Am I, am I the most skeptical person
31:27
Speaker 1: you know in your life? In fact,
31:29
Speaker 2: I think you might be, might be.
31:33
Speaker 1: This is why sometimes buying a Rolex, OK, I'm on
31:35
Speaker 1: the
31:35
Speaker 1: fence
31:36
Speaker 2: or maybe even any luxury watch you mean. Yeah,
31:38
Speaker 1: I'm
31:39
Speaker 1: on the fence about this one because I never know whether.
31:41
Speaker 1: Is it genuine or fake or am I being scammed
31:44
Speaker 1: or whatsoever?
31:47
Speaker 2: you're getting it from a reseller, OK, because if you're
31:50
Speaker 2: getting it from the store, you don't have to worry
31:52
Speaker 2: about that. Yeah, maybe like I'm
31:54
Speaker 1: the
31:55
Speaker 2: secondhand market, which is 2
31:55
Speaker 1: years' time, a small gift to myself for all the
31:57
Speaker 1: hustle and things I've done, right?
31:59
Speaker 1: But there is a case involving a Rolex here in Singapore. OK.
32:04
Speaker 1: Let me fill you in on what happened and also
32:07
Speaker 1: why it further feeds into my
32:09
Speaker 2: skepticism. Paranoia.
32:10
Speaker 1: Yes, correct. Paranoia is correct as well. Not one, not 2,
32:15
Speaker 1: but a total of 4 Rolex watches.
32:18
Speaker 2: Joking. Wow.
32:20
Speaker 2: Congrats on your big purchase.
32:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bought it from Thailand if you know what
32:23
Speaker 1: I mean. OK, but yes, uh, apparently this news went
32:28
Speaker 1: absolutely viral yesterday here in Singapore. I think on social media,
32:32
Speaker 1: there are a few commentary videos as well. An Italian
32:36
Speaker 1: man tried to sell a Rolex to a watch shop, OK, OK,
32:40
Speaker 1: here in
32:41
Speaker 2: Singapore. Yeah,
32:42
Speaker 1: so he sold it for 94.
32:44
Speaker 1: $1700.
32:47
Speaker 2: What was
32:47
Speaker 2: it? Some rare submarin or what? It's
32:49
Speaker 1: a Rolex GMTT.
32:52
Speaker 2: OK, OK. So it's, it's difficult to get.
32:55
Speaker 1: So apparently the reason why he wanted to sell this
32:58
Speaker 1: Rolex watch, right, was because he bought it from a friend,
33:02
Speaker 1: and he all of a sudden thought that, hey, I
33:05
Speaker 1: think this Rolex watch is fake, but he paid.
33:09
Speaker 2: I'm assuming quite a large amount of money as well
33:12
Speaker 2: to
33:12
Speaker 2: his friends.
33:13
Speaker 1: So when he inspected the watch himself, he suspected that
33:16
Speaker 1: the the numbers, the serial number was engraved on a laser,
33:20
Speaker 1: not officially done. Yeah. So he sold it to this
33:24
Speaker 1: watch shop where the watch shop actually did its due process.
33:27
Speaker 1: It checked and everything. There was the warranty card and
33:29
Speaker 1: all that, and the watchshop said, OK, how much do
33:31
Speaker 1: you want for it?
33:32
Speaker 1: So apparently, he didn't want cash for it. OK. This guy,
33:37
Speaker 1: the seller, took 3 other Rolex watches. So. Yeah, he
33:41
Speaker 1: took a Rolex Daytona, a Rolex GMT, and a Rolex Submariner. Yeah.
33:47
Speaker 1: So I think the total amount is $94,700.
33:51
Speaker 1: Apparently, a friend of the watch shop owner, OK, said, Hey,
33:57
Speaker 1: maybe you should check this watch, lah. It could be fake.
34:00
Speaker 1: So the guy goes to another shop across the the
34:03
Speaker 1: the mall.
34:05
Speaker 1: He checks it and the other watch shop says, hey,
34:08
Speaker 1: the number on the Rolex watch looks like it was
34:10
Speaker 1: engraved with a laser, not officially done. Oh dear.
34:14
Speaker 1: So the watch shop tried to call the watch seller saying, Hey,
34:17
Speaker 1: please come back. Ah, please come back. The watch seller
34:19
Speaker 1: ignores the calls and all that. A police report was made.
34:22
Speaker 2: Oh no.
34:23
Speaker 1: And the watch seller was arrested at Changi Airport.
34:25
Speaker 2: Of course.
34:27
Speaker 2: OK, it takes 2 seconds for them
34:28
Speaker 1: to find him. Are you
34:29
Speaker 1: ready for the twist?
34:31
Speaker 2: Yes,
34:31
Speaker 1: when the police brought the Rolex GMT Saru, the original
34:35
Speaker 1: Rolex watch involved in this whole thing, to the official
34:38
Speaker 1: Rolex authorized seller and
34:41
Speaker 2: But I think you can bring it to any store actually,
34:43
Speaker 1: but, but it's from Rolex itself, the checkers, the greatest,
34:46
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call them, right? The greatest actually said, oh,
34:49
Speaker 1: it's a legit watch.
34:52
Speaker 2: So the inspectors were like, oh yeah, this is. So wait,
34:56
Speaker 2: did this guy get into trouble then? Because he had
34:58
Speaker 2: the intention of selling this fake watch that he thought
35:03
Speaker 2: was fake but actually turned out to be real.
35:04
Speaker 1: So they've classified it an impossible, but the intent of
35:08
Speaker 1: wanting to cheat someone, it's
35:10
Speaker 2: there. So then what will he be charged with
35:12
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. No, but, but here's the thing,
35:15
Speaker 1: aside from this watch seller, right now I'm very, very skeptical.
35:20
Speaker 1: When a watch retailer or authorized retailer, right, and when
35:24
Speaker 1: they inspect my watch, they tell me if it's real
35:27
Speaker 1: or fake. Now I'm a bit skeptical.
35:29
Speaker 2: OK, so I guess what you can do is you
35:32
Speaker 2: immediately bring it to the authorized seller, meaning, let's say
35:36
Speaker 2: a Rolex or IWC Omega or whatever, bring it straight
35:39
Speaker 2: to the shop and be like, hey, yeah, I mean,
35:41
Speaker 2: I think you can do it at any shop, to
35:43
Speaker 2: be honest. I pay.
35:44
Speaker 2: No, I think you can just, OK, look, don't take
35:46
Speaker 2: it from me. I'm not entirely sure, but you can
35:49
Speaker 2: just go there and say, hey, I want to check
35:51
Speaker 2: for authenticity. Um, could you help me out? Yeah.
35:53
Speaker 1: So with the grader saying that, oh, they felt that
35:55
Speaker 1: the lasering was not officially done, but the Rolex graders
36:00
Speaker 1: themselves
36:00
Speaker 2: said no, it's real. Now you're worried like, hey, how
36:03
Speaker 2: come this.
36:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why. So I think moral of the story,
36:07
Speaker 2: just bring it to the original place to to to
36:10
Speaker 2: inspect it. I think that's the safest.
36:14
Speaker 1: Google Rolex GMT. Is it $4000?
36:17
Speaker 2: It's, it's, you know, supply and demand, Joe. So I
36:20
Speaker 2: think it's the scarcity mindset.
36:23
Speaker 2: it's difficult to get. That's why it's really expensive.
36:25
Speaker 1: OK, the, the one that first popped up is like
36:28
Speaker 1: a golden color Rolex diamond encrusted with like a blue
36:31
Speaker 1: and a red bezel, and apparently according to some websites,
36:35
Speaker 1: it could retail for over 1000.
36:37
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean, look, if you look at, if you
36:40
Speaker 2: want to talk about watches, right, the Royal Oak.
36:43
Speaker 2: AP Mini Royal Oak is reselling for like 90 to
36:46
Speaker 2: 1000 right now. It is not even an automatic movement.
36:50
Speaker 2: It's quartz movement. It's a tiny watch. It's an accessory,
36:54
Speaker 2: but it's retailing for
36:55
Speaker 1: 100,000. Can I ask how much does a Joakim Gomez
36:58
Speaker 1: Apple Watch Ultra 3 cost?
37:01
Speaker 2: This one, I think might have to pay people to wear.
37:07
Speaker 2: How much sweat on there? Not sure.
37:09
Speaker 1: That's true actually, yes.
37:10
Speaker 2: Coming up in a few minutes, um.
37:12
Speaker 2: Bit of a shameless plug here, but it's also related
37:14
Speaker 2: to work. So in just a few minutes, a new
37:18
Speaker 2: miniseries has dropped. I'm not sure if you managed to
37:20
Speaker 2: watch it just yet. Um, I just want to say
37:22
Speaker 2: a big thank you to the crew that has worked
37:24
Speaker 2: behind it, you know, and the people that followed me
37:27
Speaker 2: through the wedding prep journey. It has been chaotic, and
37:30
Speaker 2: I think at times they were actually low-key a bit worried.
37:33
Speaker 2: I
37:33
Speaker 1: mean, with the amount of views you racked up over
37:35
Speaker 1: one night, at this point you are carrying, no,
37:38
Speaker 2: you can.
37:39
Speaker 2: I say that this is live on we're live on
37:41
Speaker 2: our channel right
37:42
Speaker 2: now.
37:43
Speaker 1: It's close to 80 overnight.
37:45
Speaker 2: Well done. I, I actually enjoyed the process because it
37:48
Speaker 2: was really just them following me on my chaotic journey,
37:51
Speaker 2: to be honest, and um, please watch it. It's not longer,
37:54
Speaker 2: not anything longer than like 7 minutes, I think. It's
37:57
Speaker 2: like 6 minutes something, so it's really easy to watch
38:00
Speaker 2: on your way to work, um, and I actually said, hey,
38:03
Speaker 2: is there anyone else that can relate to how
38:05
Speaker 2: Chill. I am. Got a couple of DMs coming through. Um,
38:09
Speaker 2: can I give a shout out to one of them?
38:10
Speaker 1: OK, I'll read
38:11
Speaker 2: one of the DMs right now. Hold on, let me
38:13
Speaker 2: just go to Instagram really quickly.
38:14
Speaker 1: Are we doing it? Are we teasing? Yeah,
38:17
Speaker 2: I will just, I will just read out the message first, OK.
38:19
Speaker 2: So this guy goes, wah, this is exactly the exact
38:24
Speaker 2: situation my girlfriend and I are in right now. I
38:27
Speaker 2: proposed back in January of 2025 thinking we had all
38:30
Speaker 2: the time in the world.
38:32
Speaker 2: But we're in a slightly better situation than you since
38:34
Speaker 2: our wedding is in November. However, we've not done anything.
38:38
Speaker 2: We've not even sent out the invites, not taking any
38:41
Speaker 2: pre-wedding shoots. My partner still seems pretty chill, and I
38:45
Speaker 2: have a feeling he's not.
38:46
Speaker 1: The, the panic will set in sometime in August, I'm
38:49
Speaker 1: guessing
38:49
Speaker 2: maybe for
38:50
Speaker 1: this couple. Can I ask, have you done your pre-wedding shoot?
38:54
Speaker 1: You are kidding.
38:55
Speaker 2: Hello. Um, thank you so much, by the way, for
38:57
Speaker 2: the love on, uh, the new wedding miniseries. As Joakim knows,
39:00
Speaker 2: I am not the kind of person that really likes
39:03
Speaker 2: to talk about my wedding.
39:04
Speaker 1: OK, so as of 16 hours ago on Media Corp
39:08
Speaker 1: Entertainment's YouTube page, 8400 views.
39:12
Speaker 2: You know, you are
39:12
Speaker 1: like the Lisa of
39:13
Speaker 2: Media Corp.
39:14
Speaker 1: Well done. The drop went
39:15
Speaker 2: viral. Can you stop?
39:18
Speaker 2: Once again, we are live on air. I'm just lazing.
39:22
Speaker 2: Um, and coming from a person who, to be honest,
39:25
Speaker 2: I haven't shared anything about my wedding journey, purely because
39:28
Speaker 2: I don't identify as someone who loves to plan weddings.
39:32
Speaker 1: Again, from a, from a everyday consumer standpoint, I'm not
39:35
Speaker 1: talking as your friend or co-host, right? I think there
39:37
Speaker 1: are ways to share that you're getting married as a
39:41
Speaker 1: public personality, and then as a way to shove it
39:43
Speaker 1: down our throats. OK,
39:45
Speaker 2: but there's really no right or wrong.
39:47
Speaker 1: Thank you for not doing that.
39:48
Speaker 2: I'm, I'm, I'm the neutral person here. You're There's no
39:51
Speaker 2: right or wrong. Should I turn off joking, but I'm
39:53
Speaker 2: very scared. No,
39:55
Speaker 1: honestly, right, some, some wedding news about public personality is
39:58
Speaker 1: a bit too
39:59
Speaker 1: much.
40:00
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, news is news sometimes. Anything can
40:03
Speaker 2: become news, right? But um I do appreciate the love
40:06
Speaker 2: and I think people are just kind of laughing along
40:08
Speaker 2: with us at this point. One thing that I completely
40:10
Speaker 2: forgot that this episode reminded me of when we did
40:13
Speaker 2: the sit-down interview, right?
40:15
Speaker 2: Um, Germs was right. He actually got me to pay
40:18
Speaker 2: for the dinner the night that he proposed.
40:23
Speaker 2: So if you want to find out more, watch the
40:25
Speaker 2: very first episode. It is an insight to how it
40:28
Speaker 2: all began and a, a little hint of how the
40:31
Speaker 2: preparation has been going. I mean,
40:33
Speaker 1: germs making you pay for Chaui and all that, and
40:34
Speaker 1: he pocket me, and he trades you off with a
40:38
Speaker 1: huge rock on your forefinger.
40:39
Speaker 2: OK,
40:40
Speaker 1: it's a fair trade-off,
40:41
Speaker 2: lah. Maybe that's what, what he was thinking. Exactly. Yeah,
40:44
Speaker 2: I better save money today, Masons pay.
40:48
Speaker 2: And if I'm not wrong, he made me drive there also,
40:50
Speaker 2: you know, I think,
40:51
Speaker 1: can you stop complaining? He's marrying
40:53
Speaker 2: you? Yeah, well, too late for him. No turning back.
40:56
Speaker 2: There's no turning back.
40:57
Speaker 1: Jeremy, it's OK. I'm available if you need this guy.
40:59
Speaker 2: I'm starting to worry like this wedding, I think it
41:02
Speaker 2: might be you and him instead. Yeah,
41:03
Speaker 1: you're just crashing.
41:04
Speaker 2: I'm just crashing.
41:05
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's called Countdown I do with Sonia
41:09
Speaker 2: Chew. It's right, yeah, you can catch it on MediaCorp.
41:12

Speaker 1: or something,
41:26
Speaker 2: if I'm not wrong, they need to pull you aside

41:32
Speaker 2: episodes.

Speaker 2: Wait, let me check. What is
42:34
Speaker 1: it? December 4th. December 4th, Friday night. Come on.
42:38
Speaker 2: December 4th is a Friday. It's
42:40
Speaker 1: a Friday night.
42:42
Speaker 2: I think my dad's birthday is around that time. I
42:44
Speaker 2: don't think I can make it. I was
42:46
Speaker 1: gonna say, come on, take on either the 5 km
42:49
Speaker 1: or the Standard Chartered 10 km. Come on, Sonia.
42:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I predict I'm throwing my dad a birthday celebration
42:55
Speaker 2: on the 4th on Friday.
42:57
Speaker 2: Yes, he just reminded me his birthday is on the 10th.
43:00
Speaker 1: No, don't do it on the 4th. You know closures. Ah,
43:03
Speaker 1: do it on Saturday.
43:05
Speaker 2: OK, but we're doing it at, you know, at a
43:09
Speaker 2: place near there.
43:11
Speaker 2: Clearly I don't know where we're doing it. I'm,
43:12
Speaker 1: I'm trying to really convince you to do at least
43:15
Speaker 1: an all-out 10 km and shout out to Benjamin King. Yeah, OK.
43:19
Speaker 2: Hey, this guy's on a different level. You can't compare
43:21
Speaker 2: me with him, bro.
43:23
Speaker 1: This guy started running only what, 2019 with the Adidas
43:26
Speaker 1: Runners Club. If you saw his latest post, he really
43:29
Speaker 1: does a chronicle, right? It took 7 years or even to, to,
43:33
Speaker 1: to train consistently, and now he's really cut down. He's
43:36
Speaker 1: leaned up, and his 10 km timing is.
43:38
Speaker 1: Almost below 43 minutes,
43:41
Speaker 2: which is really good. I'm guessing.
43:42
Speaker 1: I've, I've been running for years. I've never hit a
43:45
Speaker 1: 43 minutes. My fastest is only 45
43:47
Speaker 1: minutes.
43:48
Speaker 2: See, I, I, you know, you lost me there already.
43:50
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna try, OK, with the timing. My
43:53
Speaker 2: goal is if I can even complete the 10 kilometers.
43:56
Speaker 1: OK, OK. Wait, honestly, yeah, if BYD comes to Media
44:00
Speaker 1: Corps TCA, Hi, yeah, we heard Joakim teasing Sonia. We
44:04
Speaker 1: want to engage Sonia to run 10 km.
44:07
Speaker 2: No, it's not happening.
44:10
Speaker 2: I, uh, I, I can't, I can't make any promises.
44:12
Speaker 2: It's too
44:13
Speaker 1: early in the year. I really am trying my best,
44:16
Speaker 1: but twenty-seventh of April mark this date registrations will be open. Uh,
44:20
Speaker 2: good news. We're finally getting some music from
44:22
Speaker 2: you.
44:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you were in Toronto, Canada the last
44:25
Speaker 2: few
44:25
Speaker 1: days,
44:25
Speaker 2: I wonder who had a shot at like trying to
44:28
Speaker 2: chip away at the ice
44:29
Speaker 2: block.
44:29
Speaker 1: You might have seen a giant ice block.
44:32
Speaker 1: To which people are trying to lick it as well.
44:34
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. Please don't do it. Uh, but yeah, in
44:37
Speaker 1: the middle of that ice block was the release date
44:40
Speaker 1: for Drake's latest album. It's gonna be called Iceman, May 15, 2026.
44:47
Speaker 1: That's in about maybe say a month's time.
44:49
Speaker 2: I
44:49
Speaker 1: have
44:49
Speaker 2: a, I have a question. Did I see someone with
44:52
Speaker 2: a flamethrower?
44:53
Speaker 2: Actually went there to try and like melt the ice.
44:55
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't know whether, I don't know
44:56
Speaker 2: what's AI anymore. That's the thing.
44:58
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised. It could be an Elon
45:00
Speaker 1: Musk flamethrower.
45:01
Speaker 2: It
45:01
Speaker 2: could be, yes, um, but what, for what it's worth,
45:04
Speaker 2: I think after having been quite quiet for some time,
45:08
Speaker 2: he's made quite an impact in the scene. I mean,
45:11
Speaker 2: people were curious about it.
45:13
Speaker 1: Let's see how he comes back from all that Kendrick Lamar.
45:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude. I really hope so too. Let's see what happens.
