  Speaker 1: morning
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: and just like that, I am officially back.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: She's back and she's here.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, all my Phuket adventures, it was a work trip,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: but I'll fill you in more in just a little while. Yes,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: who do you mean?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Anyone special? Yes, I landed quite late last night, so
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: still
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: sleepy. Singapore's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, too much to get into what's going on with
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: chaperone right now. Yeah, hide your 11 year olds. I mean, look,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: if you're following the story, you're following the story. But wow,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: on TikTok, it is ruthless against Chaperone. Yeah, so if
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you are curious, you know, go take a look and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: see what's new with her.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I just want to clarify something, OK. Let's go. Um, I,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I sound pretty nasal this morning and Joakim is a
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: little croaky, and we, uh, we blame the haze, OK.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So I, the first thing, you know, that happened when
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I landed last night, which I'll fill you in more
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: about the trip later on, my flight got delayed also
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: coming back, by the way, um, by, by almost an hour. Um,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: my nose has been popping off, and you know that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I've sort of open inverted commas, mostly solved my sinus issues, right?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Um, nasal rinsing every day and all that. Thankfully didn't
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: need to go, um, for, for surgery, which is still
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: an option if I wanted to, but I find it unnecessary. Um,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: apparently the haze has been quite happening recently. What happened
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: over the past two days I was away. The last
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: two days you were gone, the burning smell and the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: smoke smell.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: It's as if Singapore had a very bad barbecue has intensified, right?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And we're feeling the remnants of it right now. You
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: know what, um, the, I, I just had like a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: sneezing fit to which Joakim is always very amused by it. Um,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: but in Phuket when I was there for just 2 days,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the air was really nice. I mean, I don't think
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that affected at all just because geographically, right?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: But for Singapore, we are, yeah, I'm definitely smelling it
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: apparently from the hotspots in Johor. I mean, if you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: in Phuket, yes, because the wind blowing upwards towards the Thailand.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: So nice and clear there and uh you know, nice
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: beautiful clear beaches to the water.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: It was crystal clear, very refreshing. So my Grab driver
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: this morning was actually wearing a mask, and I was like, Hey, uncle,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: because it's quite regular, right? Ah yeah, you can smell it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I say, Yeah, that's why I wear a mask. Oh, he's,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: maybe he's sensitive to it or something. So today my
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: voice is a combination of hosting an event last night,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: not enough rest, and then this morning, the moment I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: stepped out of my home, you could smell it. Yeah, 100%, man.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: So it's like I'm walking along the alleyways of Tanjung Paga.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Joakim and I are both running on extremely little sleep
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and both of us have nose and throat problems. OK lah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Thank God the weekend's here. Hi. Hi, morning. What's your name? Han.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Niao Han. Am I saying it right? Yes. Nice to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: meet you, Niao Han on the phone. What school are
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you from? School. Oh, you're the cutest. How old are
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you this year?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: which means you are primary 2. Why do you think
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Joakim and I should come down to Marymount Primary? I
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: don't think we've been there before. Because my school is
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: very big and it's a Catholic school. Uh-huh, and both
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of us are Catholic.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, we are, by the way. Yes, we are. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: when is a good time for us to come down? Anytime. Anytime.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll we'll hope to see you very, very soon.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: next to you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: as you know it, $5000 could be yours this hour.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And also some updates coming your way with regard to
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: the Harry Potter series coming
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: on HBO
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Max very soon. Unfortunately, it's not good news, Sonia. All
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the details coming up next.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Singapore's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You heard it here first on the shock circuit. I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: gonna make 4 picks, Sonia. For what? for next year's
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Grammy Awards nominations. Firstly, the album, The Romantic by Bruno Mars.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It's short and sweet. I like it. It's a shoo-in.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Lux by Rosalia, a shoo-in. The Mountain by The Guerrillas,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: gonna be in there as well. But would it be
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the same category though? It could fall on the Album
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of the Year. And today, Ray's album. Oh, I'm so
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: excited for that one. This music might give you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: it's going to be out Singapore time, maybe 12 or
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: 1 p.m. This is her moment, man. I'm so proud
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of her. Yeah, you know what, the album's not even
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: out yet, but I know it's going to be a
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: massive banger already. You know, she has spent a long
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: time being like the featuring artist for a lot of big,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: bigger artists, right. So I'm so glad this is her moment. OK,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we go from music, excuse me for a while.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It's OK. It is really like my nose has been
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: popping off nonstop. OK, we go from music to series, OK,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and the Harry Potter movies. Yeah, yeah. For us millennials,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: we are very used to Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grin, Hermione Granger,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the late, Hermione Granger, Emma Watson, there you go, um,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the late Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith. We are, we are
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: used to them as the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: We love the characters from the books. It's because they've
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: acted through every single film that features, you know, that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was adapted from all the books. So when HBO announced that, hey,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be doing a series, so it's like a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: season 1, season 2, season 3 thing, people were like, huh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: do we really need it? And then when they announced
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the cast list.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, there will always be comparisons. Who, who's playing Harry
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Potter for this one? It's an 11 year old boy, it's,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it's a new. Yeah, I, I don't know his name
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: per se, but it's an entirely new cast, of course,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and the one casting that's gotten plenty of eyebrows raised
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: was the casting of Professor Snake. So, um, I'm gonna
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: be very factual here. In the book, it doesn't state
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: what ethnicity Professor Snape is.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which was one of my first questions to you. Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So in the movie, of course, it's played by the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: late Aaron Rickman, who did such a fantastic job, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: only him and JK Rowling knew the ending of Snake
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: before it was released to the entire world. But for
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the Harry Potter series, it's played by African actor Papa Esido.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He's an English-born actor, but of course of African descent,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and I mean, I'm, I'm only gonna use this phrase once. He's, he's,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: he's a black actor.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: OK, done. But people online are sending him death threats.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Why is that? Why is it his fault? Quit or
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'll murder you or come to your house and murder you.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: What is going on? A big, big, and it's a racist,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: it's a racial thing. Yeah, that's very racist. Yeah. Sofortunately
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: for him, he's taken it in his stride saying that look,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: all these death threats, yes, I take them seriously, but
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: it fuels me, it motivates me to make this character.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: OK, good, good. You know, I'm proud of him for
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: saying that. Yeah, because like we said, I think the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: problem is people are creatures of habit. OK. We, when
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you read Harry Potter or any book of that matter, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Don't you feel like you will start forming an impression
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: or idea of how the character looks like? OK, so
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: when the movies came out, do you think the cast
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: lived up to your imagination? I think it did. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: think it did.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately for our entire lives, people have attached that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: character to the actor already. It's very hard to shake.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So this is just, you know, when they're trying to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: cast a new set of people, you're definitely going to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: get clowns like that coming at the actors. So if
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you're wondering when is the first episode going to be released,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Christmas of this year, 25th of December over on HBO Max. Oh,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that makes me want to like have a sip of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: butterbeer or something.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: At the market, butter beer, is it? OK. You know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: they have it at some of the theme parks, right,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: but it's not actual beer. I mean, it just tastes,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to taste like what you imagine it to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: be like butter beer. I tried it over at the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Warner Brothers movie studio to West Ham. It was actually
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: very good. Yeah, I like it. Joakim here with you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us here today.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Um, so I just wanted to give you a little
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: update about my past two days before we move on
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to $5000. Was it hotter in Phuket because you were there?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It was, you know, like, hey, thank you. But literally,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: it was several degrees hotter than Singapore. Oh, I'm not
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: even kidding.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Um, it was 36 °C on average. So I'm guessing
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: it was very humid, very humid, very hot. Even the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: locals themselves said like this feels like a heat wave
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: or something. lah, sorry. But like, you know what, I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: don't think it was just me. Um, some of the most,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the biggest, the hottest, uh, celebrities and personalities from around
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the region, you know, and other parts of, of the world,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: they were there, mostly Southeast Asia, of course, but
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Um, just want to give a big shout out to
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: all the wonderful girls that I met over the past
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: few days because, you know, usually when it comes to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: work like this, right, it's a rare opportunity to link
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: up with so many people from different countries. So yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I just want to say, you know, especially to the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Indonesian team, um, Korea, Japan, like, despite some
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Of the language barriers because um the Japanese, the Japanese twins,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: these girls, they can't really speak English, but they're still
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: super sweet like they tried their best, you know, to communicate.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I can envision you just bowing
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to them. Yeah, yeah, we both just smiling and laughing
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: at each other like he he he.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: No, but their, uh, their manager, their management was there. She,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: she has fluent, she speaks fluent English. So she was
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: like translating at dinner because we were seated next to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Japanese tea. It was the cutest thing, um, but it was,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: it was great because some of these girls are really big, right,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: in their own country and also their own in, in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the region. So when I finally see them in person
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: after following them for some time on social, it was,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: it was quite cool to, to see that and
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Especially to the indoor team, like we became besties. SG
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and Indo, yay.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: And Malaysia, of course, I already know the Malaysian girls.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I guess for your wedding Indome sponsor it, don't don't.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I wanted to do I. I don't think there's going
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to be a sponsorship. No wonder you and Indonesian team
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: became good friends, la, you know that's your opportunity. That's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: not gonna help me at all, man. That ain't gonna help.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: But you name some of them, you know, to the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I people happening. But yeah, it was, uh, it was great,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and thanks for holding the fort for two days.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I am extremely exhausted though, not just from the heat,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: but no, no, look, coming back really late last night.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: These kind of work trips, yeah, the, the good kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of personalities that you follow here in Singapore, they are
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: working nonstop. They are doing content, they are planning, they
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: are making sure their skin looks good as compared to, oh,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: it's a holiday. No, it's not a work. It's really
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: not a holiday. It's not. It's like us on the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Disney adventure, work nonstop.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: But also sometimes we take it upon ourselves. I mean, look, I, I,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you know, when you're assigned to go for a work trip,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: you still do it anyway, right? I think the impression
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that people generally get is like, wow, good life, ah,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: good life. The only downtime I had was 10 p.m. Yeah,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: when we're in our room, same. So you know what
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the funny thing was, because there's a one hour difference
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: in Phuket, right.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: So the first day, immediately after the show on Tuesday,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I flew off. Um, the first day, uh, when I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: got there, I was already knocked out on the plane.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: When we got there, oh, there's a welcome, welcome drinks
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and welcome dinner and everything, right, where people are nonstop
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: like taking content. Midway through the dinner, or not even midway,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I think maybe through the second appetizer, I was fading, bro.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I was fading, you know, after like a glass of wine,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I was like checking my watch, you know, it was
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: 9:00 p.m. Phuket time, which means it's already 10:00 Singapore time,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: my bedtime. I mean, if you were fading at the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: second appetizer, that means I would have faded the moment
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: we got to the hotel. Yeah, the moment, yeah, you
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: would have faded out. You might not even have shown
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: up to the. No, I will, but you thank the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: combo for me, OK? You go and talk to me,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: as per usual. Um, big love to our friends.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Friends at Long Shomp for making this possible and hopefully
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: more chances and maybe more opportunities to involve our listeners
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: in the future as well, take me with you. Um,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: so I just wanted to give you a little update

• 14:17
  Speaker 2: don't don't. I wanted to do I. I don't think
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: there's going to be a sponsorship. No wonder you and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Indonesian team became good friends, la, you know that's your opportunity.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna help me at all, man. That ain't
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: gonna help. But you name some of them, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: to the Indome people happening. But yeah, it was, uh,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: it was great, and thanks for holding the fort for
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: two days.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I am extremely exhausted though, not just from the heat,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: but no, no, look, coming back really late last night.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: These kind of work trips, yeah, the, the good kind
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: of personalities that you follow here in Singapore, they are
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: working nonstop. They are doing content, they are planning, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: are making sure their skin looks good as compared to, oh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: it's a holiday. No, it's not a work. It's really
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: not a holiday. It's not. It's like us on the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Disney adventure, work nonstop.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: But also sometimes we take it upon ourselves. I mean, look, I, I,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: you know, when you're assigned to go for a work trip,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you still do it anyway, right? I think the impression
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that people generally get is like, wow, good life, ah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: good life. The only downtime I had was 10 p.m.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when we're in our room, same. So, you know
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: what the funny thing was, because there's a 1 hour
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: difference in Phuket, right? So the first day, immediately after
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the show on Tuesday, I flew off. Um, the first day, uh,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: when I got there, I was already knocked out on
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the plane. When we got there, oh, there's a welcome,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: welcome drinks and welcome dinner and everything, right, where people
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: are nonstop like taking content. Midway through the dinner, or
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: not even midway, I think maybe through the second appetizer,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I was fading, bro.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I was fading, you know, after like a glass of wine,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I was like checking my watch, you know, it was
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: 9:00 p.m. Phuket time, which means it's already 10:00 Singapore time,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: my bedtime. I mean, if you were fading at the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: second appetizer, that means I would have faded the moment
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: we got to the hotel. Yeah, the moment, yeah, you
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: would have faded out. You might not even have shown
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: up to the. No, I will, but you thank the
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: combo for me, OK? You go and talk to me,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: as per usual. Um, big love to our friends at
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Longhomp for making this possible and.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Hopefully more chances and maybe more opportunities to involve our
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: listeners in the future as well. Take me with you
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: you in my bag very beautiful. OK, so while I
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: was away, I did not realize that this happened and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: of course Joakim already addressed it, but I am not
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: OK with this piece of news. I want to hear
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: your take on this because I do order from this
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: particular machine quite often. You, you and I both. I do.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And the fact is that there's one here in Media Corp.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: There's one at my condo. There's one, you know, around
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: public parks or, or, uh, park connectors sometimes. The one
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: over at Stadium MRT. You always buy from there, is it?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I go to that one a lot. Yeah. Um, there's
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: one at Robertson Quay. So sometimes I walk over there,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm thirsty, I get it from there. Oh wait,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: so even with all the renovations, it's still there. The
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: renovations are not affecting.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It doesn't affect uh the whole Robertson. Yeah, it's only
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: one particular portion which is like Fraser Residences area. No,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: but Kampay reopened somewhere else, as in the, the moment
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: they were told, I guess that there's going to be
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: massive renovations, they already shifted. Beautiful. So it's not far away.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It's just opposite at Mohammad Sultan. So if you.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. So if you're curious, you know, just go
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: do a quick search. All your favorite restaurants from that
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Fraser's area in Robertson Key have relocated. Anyway, um, we're
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: talking about the i juice machine. Big shout out. You know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I love this machine because I love fresh juice and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the fact that, you know, um, you're able to get
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it for just like what, $2 or something.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: At these vending machines. It's a brilliant idea. And trust me,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: after a long stadiums. Exactly, and sometimes you just want
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: to get two, right? You can't just have one.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: So, um, imagine my surprise this morning when I saw
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the news that I missed over the past two days,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: very eventful past two days of this dude that was
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: licking the eye juice straw and then putting it back
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: into the dispenser. It's horrific. Like I saw the video
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and I was so disgusted. I don't know if I
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: can ever like bring myself to use a straw again.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: This is why I don't trust.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Certain straws and utensils that are left out there, you know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's the straw. Yeah. That's why I'm curious
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: how investigations are ongoing like we said we're not sure
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: like when this was taken, when was this video taken,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: for example, like it wasn't revealed, right?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Um, and I think this is also the reason why
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: some dispensing, not all dispensers have straws, but certain places
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: where you buy drinks from, they actually have it wrapped
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: in a paper. So I think the latest in the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: news now is they've identified that this person is. Well, um,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I think he was wearing, it was quite obvious, right?
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know whether he was wearing like someone sent
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the video to the school's HR or discipline master or mistress. Yeah, anyway, um,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a very serious view on this because obviously you don't
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: know how many times this has been done, right? Yeah,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: it's quite concerning our friends over, we love you. We do,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we do, and we're not, maybe I will stop taking
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the straw, but I won't stop buying the juice.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Then what are you gonna poke the lid with? Just
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: peel the lid. Just peel the lid open and drink
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: it straight. Yeah, I don't know. Now I'm a bit
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: paranoid about the, but like you said, you know, the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: unlocking system. I get it. So knowing you, please make
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: sure you peel slowly. Don't go fast and then spill
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the whole drink on yourself. Why do you feel, why
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: do you say it like it's happened to me before?
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it has.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: 87
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: secret.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: That.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Hi,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: my name is Pamela. Pamela, you sound really stunned.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Where are you right now?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm at home.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Did you expect to get through the phone lines?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: No, I did not.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I've been calling for
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the past few days. Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: So Pamela, let's make this opportunity count. Hopefully you win $5000.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: What are you gonna do with the $50 if you
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: really win today? Oh, I'm gonna take my family on
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: holiday.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Sweet. Love that for you. OK, we're rooting for you, Pamela.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Listen very carefully.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Pamela,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: for 5000
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: dollars, what is the 987's secret sound?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It's light switch. Light switch
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: is your final answer.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Let's find out.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: You are
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: incorrect. Your chance to play 987's secret sound continues.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: that
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately not the answer we're looking for, but according to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: boss
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Janice,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: her reply was, no, no, no.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: But did we get that answer before? I'm not sure actually. We,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: we might have might have, but not as popular as
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the Fantastic 40, which is what Joakim said earlier. Exactly
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: are the answers. But hey, Pamela, the good news is
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: your name is immediately going into the big grand draw.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Not all is lost.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Congratulations. Yeah, and we were really truly rooting for you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Please try again soon, OK?
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: One guess
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: win.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: What's that sound?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Up next to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit. Well,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: this is your
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: final shot at a beautiful treat thanks to our friends
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: over at Novotel Singapore. It's Steven's Sunday brunch at Food
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Exchange for two worth over $240. Phone lines will be
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: open over at 669-119-87.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Singapore's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: number one hit music station.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: When I walked into the studio this morning, Joakim looked
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: at me and he goes, your ankle OK or not? Yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're walking fine. I'm walking fine. A lot
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: better than when you saw me on Monday, actually, a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: lot better in the Catholic Bible, the miracle of Sonia. No, it's,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it's still slightly swollen and there's some bruising now around
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the ankle area, but very, very mild. So I'm very
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: grateful that it was probably something not so serious. So
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: when you're completely cleared, yeah, will you go back to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: playing paddle? Yes, actually I texted the chat. I said.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I'm OK guys. They were like, they were like, please don't, don't,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: don't come this weekend, please give it one more week. Yeah, yeah. So, um, well,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I am just, you know, sort of massaging and flexing
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: it now just to make sure that the mobility is back.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: And the funny thing was when I was in Phuket, the,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the villa that we're staying at, it was fully steps,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: like there was, there was no lift or escalator, elevator, nothing.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So I had to walk up and down, walk in
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the sand. Yeah. Were you in Phuket or the UK? Yeah, exactly.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: We also have a lot of stairs.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: So, um, I'm very grateful that it was not too bad,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: but also have to give credit where credit's due. Um,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: on the very day on Monday when we spoke about
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: it and you had a good laugh and we opened
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: up phone lines as well, right? You're still laughing, yes.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I think you'll never get that image of me with
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the ice pack on.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: The chair here in the studio of your head and
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I've seen. You have seen things, yeah. So, uh, my,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: my parents immediately like when they heard about it on air,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: which was what I was afraid of, that's why I
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: kept telling Joakim, don't, don't dwell on it anymore. But
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: of course, Joakim being Joakim.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Has to just rub it in lah. No, and, and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: I said this, I would not be surprised if your
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: mom or dad actually leaves you like a care package
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: at home. They did. So I posted on IGS that
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: got quite a lot of response from it because on
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Monday when I revealed it on air, of course, firstly, scolded,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: got nagged at, right? Of course, why you do this? But,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: but of course, you know, Asian parents, they give you that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Tough love kind of thing, right? They, they, they do
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: love you. And at the end of the day, my
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: dad actually left the care pack at my house with
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: like the, you know, the ankle wrap, um, there was, uh,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: also like the pain cream, the pain relief gel, and
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: like the ankle guard and stuff. So I did use
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it on my trip, especially because I was going to
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: be going to the airport. You have to walk around
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: quite a lot and all that, so I brought the ankle.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I wore the ankle guard, right, and
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Um, I got so many responses from like just random
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: followers saying this is so typical of Asian parents. They
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: will nag at you, but they still love you and
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: they still bring you the things that will help you
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day. Hey, your dad, I mean,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of course your mom as well, but your dad really.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Loves you lah. I mean, I would not forget at
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: his 70th birthday, right, um, I think after a few
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: drinks in a bit happy already, like half a bottle
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: of whiskey, bro. Your dad all of a sudden points
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: at me, choke him, and then he hugs you. I'm
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: very proud of this daughter.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: The best daughter. I was like, Aiyo uncle. Oh God, yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: That's the whiskey. Um, yeah, he's probably tuning in. He
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: meant it. He meant it for sure. 669-11987. We would
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: love to open up the phone lines. Now we are,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: we are grown-ups right now, right? You would say, I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: are we in our parents' eyes? Are we? Mentally, maybe not.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: But in our parents' eyes, right, we will never be adults,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: you know, they will always still treat us as their
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: babies at the end of the day. You are still
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: 4 year old girl. I'm still in my mushroom haircut. Exactly. So, um,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I think that was the consensus a lot of my
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: followers and our followers had as well when they saw that,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: you know, on, on socials. Um, to which you want
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to open up phone lines, 669-11987 or drop us a
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: message 90050987. Do you agree that no matter how old
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: you are,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Tell us, does your, do your parents still treat you
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: like a kid? Do they still nag at you like
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: you're a kid? Do they still care for you like
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you're a kid? We would love to know because I
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: know friends who like married and have kids already, but
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: their parents still treat them like kids.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom, your mom, yeah, that's for sure. We're
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: going to share more, um, you know, I was asked
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: about an update about my injured ankle when I came
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: back and I, I said, you know what, it's heaps
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: better now. Also, all thanks to um the care package
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: my parents left me at my house. But of course,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: it came with a side of nagging.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Just a little bit. What do you mean? The nagging
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: was the main dish. But you know what, no matter
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: how much our parents nag at us, at the end
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: of the day, they love us and they will still
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: treat us like kids no matter what age we are, right?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: So we wanted to hit to phone lines, 669-11987 and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: our WhatsApp messages as well. Do you also feel like
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: no matter what age you are, your parents will always
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: We still treat you like a kid. I want to
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: say good morning to somebody who calls herself Auntie Jay
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: on WhatsApp. Morning, Sojo. I'm a mother of 3. I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: think I'll baby my kids forever, even until they are
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: 50 years old if I'm still around. I'll make sure
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to kiss them loudly and insist we give each other
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: bear hugs whenever we meet. You know, my mom, every
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: time she knows in the mornings I'm in a rush
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: to leave her, they leave the.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: house, right, she always go, Hey, where's my hug? I
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: have to come back in to hug her. Then I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: have to go. So it's like a family rule, is
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: it like a household rule? I know I complain about
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: it now, but actually sometimes on the Grab taxi or
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the ride here I'll be like, Ah yeah, yeah, it's sweet.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: hug my mom this morning, so happy. No, honestly, like
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I think these moments should be treasured, right? You cannot
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: show it. 00, you cannot take advantage. Oh, then why
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you talk about it on air.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: But the people that know us best would be our
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: parents who will never stop treating us like children, no
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: matter how old we are. Uh, we got stories coming through,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: so that's the question for you today. Let's head to
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: WhatsApp first. I want to say hello to Jacqueline. Hi
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: dear Joakim and Sonia. Even though I'm already married with
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: two boys, my parents still will call me every day
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: and check up on me, asking me whether have I
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: eaten or not, had I taken a shower, instruct me
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: to eat on time.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And they will call me every morning to wake me up. Oh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: that's so cute. And even though I'm on holiday, she
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: will call me to ask you whether did I sleep properly,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: enough money to spend or not. So if you say no,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: will they give you money? I'm just curious. Can you
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: say no? No, OK. Yeah, they start nagging. Open another
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: can of worms for yourself. Actually, you know what, I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: realized there's really no winning when it comes to Asian parents.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, look.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: We, we are their spawn. You know what, look, the
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: funny thing is when I, when my parents found out
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: that I had a sprained ankle, you know what one
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: of the first things they said, See, I told you
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: don't do extreme sports.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Mama and Papa. Uh, paddle isn't really an extreme sport. When, Joe,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you know me, when have I ever done extreme sports?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. OK, aside
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: from the time where like I went and did bungee
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and didn't tell them and they only found out after.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I will give you a gold medal in panics.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Jeremy will agree it's an extreme sport for you. He did,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: he did the movement of the mouth needs to be studied. Hey,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: stop it. Don't be rude, OK.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You, what is this laugh at Sonia the whole week,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: So happy for the years you roast me on air.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Let me have a week. I see so. Hardy is
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: on the line right now. What about you? Yeah, let's
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: say if I come back home late or whatever timing
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: like 2 a.m., 3 a.m., my mother will be awake
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: to scold me.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Scold you for real or affectionately? You see, this is,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: this is the thing, right? Like, you know, I, I
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: remember in the past, um, I will always try and
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: be sneaky about coming back, be quiet and all that,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: but they always know, you know, or maybe just the sneak.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: is also true. Yeah, but thank you, Hadi for your call.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: You have a great day, OK. Alright. Bye. Wanna say
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: good morning to Soup. Soup, you say, hey, Sojo, my
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: dad is the more concerned one in this case.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: He tells me how much rice to eat as if
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much rice to eat. I ended
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: up finishing the quantity I took very fast, and he
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: had no words. He tells me to dress properly, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I want to try new styles inspired by
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: my friends and some celebrities, but nope, protective dad. I
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: love him and always appreciate him. Yeah, well, we know
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: this at the end of the day, right? They, they,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: they mean well. Sometimes it just comes across differently. Yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: I got one very sweet one coming in.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Username Yolo. Morning guys. I'm in my 50s and my
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: mom just celebrated her big 80. She still makes breakfast
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: of bread and peanut butter with strawberry jam, and even
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: now when I live a few streets away from her,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: she will take the effort to make my breakfast and
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: walk over to my place, making sure I don't miss eating.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Mom loves knows no boundaries. It really doesn't. And you know,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I think in a way it also is good for
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: her because
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: The morning exercise, um, you know, she just, I, I
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: think as we age, right, as our parents age, as
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I'm observing, they just want to have purpose, you know,
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: they want to do something. That's why sometimes, even though,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: like I tell my parents, OK, don't trouble yourself, don't
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: do this for me. You guys are like, you know,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: you should just rest and chill. They're like, no, lah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: give us something to do, you know. So I, I
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: think this is a universal thing. It's OK, Papa, Mama,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you can care for me also. I welcome. You live
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: too far away from them. I'm the other chew.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Because we resemble each other so much siblings. Jocelyn is
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: on the line. Jocelyn, what about you? What do you think? Yes, um,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm 35 this year and I have two kids,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: but my mother still treats me like I'm still 10
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: years old.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, Jocelyn. I'm I'm 38 this year, still single.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: My mom she treats me like I'm 8 or 70
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: my gosh, OK, Justin, do you have any examples? Well, 20,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: like even for my daily, like, like every day she
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: asks me, have you eaten? Like, I'm already 35. I know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I know when I'm hungry, when I'm not.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I think it's just sometimes it's their way of just
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: like they want to be involved in your your daily life, right? Yeah,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I'm still in primary school. So do you still get
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: nagged at or like does your mom still like bring
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: you food or put in your house, you know, that
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: kind of thing or help you with your laundry? Oh yes,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: every single day I get nagged. Yeah.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: What does she usually say or do? The food, food
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: first of all, and then what else? How I drive.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: She nags at you about how you drive. Oh my God, Jocelyn,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you this, given how you're a mom
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: of two boys, right, when they become 35, do you
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: think you'll be the kind of mom as well? I
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: don't think so. Uh, like I, I feel that when
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: they are 21, I'll just let them go. OK, we'll, we'll,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: we'll check in again when they become 2. OK, you
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: know a few years. Yeah, yeah, you never know, you
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: never know. Thank you so much for your call. Thank you. Thank.

  Speaker 2: them entertain themselves for a while, they've got like bouncy
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: balloon houses, coloring, balloon sculpting, face painting, so much while

  Speaker 2: you enjoy your prosecco. And next Sunday they have the
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: very special Easter edition of their Sunday brunch where kids,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and I think Sonia was an expert at this game,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: playing Easter egg hunts and egg painting competitions. I like
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: painting eggs. That was.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed painting eggs for Easter. Never ever say that
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: phrase again for Easter. What's wrong? Anyway, you know what?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: What have Easter eggs got to do with Easter anyway?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: They've done nothing. It has nothing got to do with
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: actual Easter. Just FYI, yeah, FYI. If you're curious, go
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: read up about it. But for more information, visit Novotel
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Stevens on Instagram. Today's prize goes to Joly.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Congratulations. You really thoroughly entertained us with your stories, but
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: we just want to say thank you to each and
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: every one of you because it's so relatable. Like the
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: fact that no matter how old we are, we'll still
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: be treated as kids by our parents at the end
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: of the day. Again, there has to be a podcast
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: with just your mom and my mom. Oh, this one
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: is a three-part series. This needs to happen, and I'll
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: make it happen sometime. Do we really want it to happen, Joe? Yes,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: we do, honestly, just for fun.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I, I'm concerned. And can you, are you paying
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: us to do this? Yeah, OK. That's a no. They'll
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: be very angry with us. Some small Hollywood tea here, OK. Um,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: not exactly about her directly, but, uh, there was a
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: recent big events overseas where several stars were invited and
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: I think she was one of them as well.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, um, there were people online that were quite
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: unhappy that apparently, Priyanka Chopra was being snubbed a little
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: bit by some of the other Hollywood stars. Now I'm not,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say which event was this was
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: or which brand, um, or which celebrities. Dua Lipa was
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: one of them. I don't think she was snubbing Priyanka.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: It was more of like one of those photo moments
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: where they're like, OK, photo call, right? Then all the
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: big celebrities are in one photo together.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: And apparently no one was really like responding to Priyanka.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I wasn't there, so I don't know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: but why is this news? Because it's Hollywood.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: It's the stars, guys, it's a, it's a dog eat
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: dog industry here, OK? And you know what, people might
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: have come up with their own narrative just by looking
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: at a video that they weren't there for, you know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it's a photo call, you better do
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: what you can to get in there, smile and then
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: go back to socializing. When we come back though, Sonia,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy finally here on our show. We have
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: a sport that both of us can discuss together curling.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Sorry, remember we tried curling before it was a big fail. Yeah, OK,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I was leaning towards Formula 10 sorry. OK la, curling.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Wake up.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Good next.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Kicking off your day in the best way. It's Sonia
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and Joakim on the shock circuit.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Welcome on back to the show.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Coming up in just a bit, you know it, your
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: final chance to walk away with a $100 shopping experience
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: thanks to Quartz. And also your Formula One updates for
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: the Japanese Grand Prix happening in less than 2 hours. Sonia.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Hamilton at a dojo.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Singapore's number one hit music station.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: So finally, a sport where both of us can talk about.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I was just joking when I said curling, by the way.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: We have like hilarious memories of that. Formula One, by
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: the way, it's the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. I
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: think the action for practice one starts at 10:30 p.m.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: 10:30 a.m. our time. But before, you know, they got
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: to the tracks, a lot of your favorite drivers have
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: been engaging in a lot of activities, you know, in Japan, um,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, like they're all seen doing different things.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I think Charles Leclerc did a full shoot, like a
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: full-on shoot.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Louis was at a dojo that apparently I think he's
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: quite familiar with. So I'm gonna say this, the cars
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: might look a little bit different this weekend. I think
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: some teams have Godzilla inspired designs, special designs looking very nice,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: but I wanna ask a Mercedes.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Japanese Grand Prix uniform. Like, why is it? Can I,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: can I, can I ask you? I saw this. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: saw this. It looks like they were trying to bake
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: a cake and all the powder ended up on their suit.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, look, every, everyone will have
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: an opinion, la. OK, Sonia, this is OK. I'm, I'm
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: zooming into George Russell right now, but the bro looks
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: so happy. He's smiling in the picture.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Hey man, whatever it is, whichever brand was behind it,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: they must have been paid quite a bit to wear
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: this design. So anyway, when it comes to the winner
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: for the Japanese Grand Prix, who's your pick? I'm hoping Ferrari.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're, they're slowly climbing up the ranks. They're
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: having a good year. So I'm not saying that I'm
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: biased because, you know, I do support them and they
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: do work with Puma, but
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I'm really hoping something good comes out of this. So
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: it's either you're happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why? Who are
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: you rooting for? Um, I mean, you've been rooting for
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: a particular team recently. I mean, Cadillac just beat the
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Aston Martin of Happy.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It's a, it's a, it's a process. Yeah. So, you know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: trust in the process. If I had to pick a
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: winner though, Mercedes, is it? I'm gonna go with Hamilton. Hamilton, OK,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: I'll pick Hamilton. Yeah, we've got a $100 voucher thanks
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: to Courts just for you. I'm going to read you

• 39:47
  Speaker 2: pertaining to me and Sonia. Sonia laughs extra loud at
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: my jokes on air, even when it's not that funny.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Is she being over the top or not? Yes, she is.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I will still laugh at your jokes. Don't worry. I
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: don't want to ask why, OK. Moving on to the
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: statement pertaining to courts. You want to buy a new
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: sofa now, but your partner says, hey, wait for Wednesday, lah.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe got star by or better deals. So the house
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: uses camping chairs for two weeks. Is this over the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: top or not? Oh, for sure, man. Well, yeah, because
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: you got to wait for Wednesday. That's the best deal. Congratulations,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: you are today's winner.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Beautiful. That is definitely a selling point over here. Their

  Speaker 2: Star by Wednesdays are curated just for you. Things that
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: you might need. You can enjoy up to 70% off,

  Speaker 2: and I believe that you've got a little over a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: week left from now to the 7th of April to
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: shop away. But to confirm one thing, Sonia, my joke's funny, right?
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, very funny. Both of you, you're only saying
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: that because you just won the vouchers, right. If you
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: are a musical theater fan, I have a question for you.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of Angry?
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Big shout out to Nat Ong. Can I just say
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: for the people who were over at the premiere, right,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I saw plenty of Singaporeans that I follow who are saying.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: How their hearts just swelled with pride when they saw
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Nathaniel Ong on stage. And by the way, I also
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: agree that Lea Salonga is the prettiest casting for Madame Faria,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: so she never left Singapore, right? She never since the
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Disney adventure event. So I believe she had a concert
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: to do. Yeah, and then now she's just starring in
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the arena special. Now love it. A couple of people
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: were live.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: A little bit confused as to the staging of this
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: version of Les Miserables. It is not the play per se.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: It's an arena spectacular where the singers as their characters
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: will step forward and sing into the microphone to the crowd.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: So there's an entire choir, orchestra and all that, but
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: it's not being performed, it's being sung. It's the same thing,
• 42:01
