[00:00:14] Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the LEMON Show, the show giving you the squeeze on pop culture with an Oriental lens. Well, like that introduction that's my name is Thomas Tan. And I'm Philip Kuoch. And coming up later on the show, we speak to Ophie Ho, who is a go boss and how she's transforming women's lives around Australia with her business. But first, how is your week? Had a very fun week. Actually, we went to the Pentatonix concert. We did.

[00:00:41] And I swear, I feel like because I like an acapella group. Right. I feel like everyone that was at the concert was like a sing off, because when you want to get this crouse's sing it just sing like a massive choir. Anyone Senate. Amazing.

[00:00:54] I think you can actually see the hard work and the dedication like the years that it takes for you to get to know your band members as well as know exactly what you have to do because harmonies are hardly telling you. It's like you have to sing in perfect pitch key and get to know exactly where to go. Boop, boop, boop. If you miss it like a doo doo or a bup bup. That means that you pretty much share the whole whole group off.

[00:01:14] I love how you appreciate, like, you know, the music side of it. For me, the whole time I was thinking about was the thing about the business side. I was like probably the most profitable band in the world because we we did discuss a little bit how much they were earning that night. Because like they didn't have any bandmates. It's just that making sounds of their mouth. So so like they didn't have to hire like dancers, all a bandmates. It was just the making sounds of their mouth. But they got sick.

[00:01:40] If one of them or two of them got sick, then like concerts cancelled.

[00:01:43] Let's take a live look now outside of work. Ariana Grande, they lick and spit on the merchandise. There can be a hundred people in the room. Rise and shine. China. China. China. China. China. China. China.

[00:02:04] We also just watched the Harlequin movie. Maybe like two hours ago. And I felt that it was incredible what they consider so well. And Magor, Robbie's acting is phenomenal.

[00:02:15] Oh, she's good. I know the little girl, the Asian go who's in the movie as well. She was really funny.

[00:02:21] I thought she was like, I'll tell you know, I thought that she was like an 18 or playing like that. And like they normally do in Hollywood. But you gewgaws, she's actually 13 years old.

[00:02:27] She's 13 and she's in critical for her age. It was really funny the whole time while watching that movie. I was just thinking like, wow, like we talked to Jenny earlier this week.

[00:02:36] Our friend Jenny, she's in L.A. right now doing pilot sea...

[00:00:01] This is a Lipp Media podcast.

[00:00:14] Hello, hello, hello from Lipp Media. Welcome to the LEMON show. The show giving you the squeeze of pop culture. As always you're joined by Thomas Tan, which is me and Phillip Kuoch.

[00:00:24] That is me. And this week my voice isn't cracking. Hello.

[00:00:28] Coming up today on the show. Why was Justin Bieber in tears after talking about Billy Eilish in a recent interview?

[00:00:35] And Parasite, is being hailed as a big shift towards inclusion. But does it really change anything? And joining us on the show today, we talk to a makeup guru and trends activists Kara Tran. But first, how is your week?

[00:00:51] I'm just wondering what we did this week. But this week has been a big blow for me because of Valentine's Day. So as you guys know, I earn a donut company. And as part of that company, we make Derek gift boxes and did it because of stuff like that. So Valentine's Day was one of our biggest days of the year where people order declaring arts and days for their loved ones. And yes, so Friday was a big day. And thank you for helping me, Thomas. You're most welcome. How did you feel? Have you ever recovered from the Friday news?

[00:01:20] It wasn't too bad. I think last year was a lot worse. And this year? This year, a lot more organized. But you woke up at 2:00 a.m.. I did.

[00:01:28] And I woke up at 3:00 a.m. But knowing that, it's just that even the days leading up towards I was working like 10, 12 hours, Ali, days preparing everything for its big day, but everything went smoothly compared to last year.

[00:01:40] So this year, we did about 200 deliveries and 20 orders, which is insane amount of orders. We had about 15 drivers going out to deliver all around Melbourne. And yeah, thanks to you, it all went very smoothly. Helps keep everything intact.

[00:01:55] Yes, I did. But I'm surprised by how serious people take Valentine's Day. Yeah, I like because it was it was a crazy day and there's a lot of orders going through.

[00:02:04] Obviously, we're gonna miss at least one or two doughnuts. I want to kind of see items. But you tell me how, like some people like, dude, it even gets like just a chocolate rose. Yeah.

[00:02:12] They went batshit crazy. They did have a customer who said we ruined her Valentine's Day because we fought to include a chocolate rose. Whoops. But look, these things happen. I think I'm really proud of the way we handled things. I think very smoothly. We've only gone to complaints about 200 or so. That's pretty good. Right. That's like 1 percent to my treats.

[00:02:35] You did take me to get a massage afterward. I did. And wasn't it a great massage? Holy. OK. I I've enjoyed this massage place. Well, I'm going to crash course I. And give them like the name ism Holiday Inn Holiday called Holiday Inn and Oakley. It looks like a very dodgy area. And honestly, from the outside, it looks like a pl...

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week's episode.

On today's episode, Tom breaks down during the recording after we discuss about the story of Korean singer Yang Joon-il, also dubbed as the 90's G-Dragon.

If you're not aware of his story, the singer was an up and coming singer brought from America to Korea. He wasn't very fluent in Korean and used to incorporate a lot of English into his music at a time where Korea's relationship with the English speaking world was not looked at positively. He was literally unfairly kicked out of the country due to his English. He went back to America and became an English teacher before spending most of his life as a waiter in a restaurant.

Thanks to a trend in Korea called 'Newtro' millennials discovered the G-Dragon lookalike and learnt about his story. His story touched the nation and a search began to search for him. After a gruelling long search, a TV show in Korea found the singer and he was able to perform his songs again after 30 years.

We also talk about the Super Bowl half time and how Shakira and Jennifer Lopez KILLED it. Plus, there's a Christian activist who's trying to sue them for trillions of dollars for the 'inappropriate' performance - his words, not ours.

There was also a 90's magazine competition running and the prize was the opportunity to 'sleep' with US President Donald Trump. Any takers?

AND FINALLY, we discuss the rules of texting. If you're texter, make sure you follow these rules!

Hello our juicy lemons!

This week we have finally recovered and feeling like crap on last episode (we had one hour's sleep and put together the show last minute, sorry!)

On today's episode, we talk about the recovery from our trip in China and how we actually thought we had the coronavirus. Thomas was showing similar symptoms and so he went to the hospital and was isolated. Long story short, we freaked out for no reason and it turned out to be a different kind of virus.

Here's what discussed this week:

James Corden responds to reports that he actually doesn’t drive in Car Pool Karaoke

Late night talk show host James Corden has responded to rumours that actually doesn’t drive in his hit segment Car Pool Karaoke. 

A video of him and Justin Bieber filming a segment went viral this week of their car getting towed. It was viewed more than 13m times. 

He said on-air that he is normally driving unless the segment required some dangerous things such as dancing or required a lot of attention. 

In this case, the segment with JB was towed because producers thought it would be more safe. 

Taylor Swift Talks About Eating Disorders in New Netflix Doc: Why That Matters

Taylor Swift’s new documentary on Netflix has dropped and she made several candid revelations about her life. 

The singer reveals that she’s now learnt to not look pictures of herself every day because it can trigger her. 

"You don't ever say to yourself, 'I have an eating disorder,' but you know you're making a list of everything that you put in your mouth that day and you know that's probably not right, but then again there's so many diet blogs that tell you that's what you should," she says.

HBO to remake ‘Parasite’ into English series

HBO has announced that they’ll be re-making Bong Joon-ho’s blockbuster hit ‘Parasite’ into an English series. 

The news comes after the Korean film has broken records left and right and scoring nominations and wins at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and SAGs awards. Why does Hollywood have to keep re-making Asian cinema and not just appreciate it for what it is?

Bong’s speech at Golden Globes: “Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.”

Billie Eilish got the iconic sound in 'Bad Guy' from Sydney!!

While the Grammy Award winner chatted to Rolling Stone recently about her hit song 'Bad Guy', she revealed the inspiration behind the famous tune.

She said that she was out for a walk in Sydney crossing the road with her mum before hearing the ‘doop doop’ waiting sound at the crossing. 

She recorded the tune and brought it back to her brother and incorporated it into ‘bad guy’. 

Does Anyone Have a ‘Personal Life’ Anymore?

How do you respond when someone asks you ‘what do you do in your personal life?’

We recently came across an essay which talked about whether or not ‘personal life’ existed anymore in this day and age due to the rise of social media, people turning hobbies into hustles, finding ways to make their lives more efficient and turning their selves into ‘brands’. 

So what does a personal life in this day and age mean?

HELLO!

We're back! Hope everyone enjoyed their break - we certainly did! This episode is a bit different because we recorded it while we were pre-gaming/pre-drinking before a night out, so the episode is a bit wild.

During our break we were featured by Apple Podcasts and Castbox so we thought we would start the year with a little chit chat with ourselves instead of a special guest so that our lovely new listeners can get to know us a bit!

We did record a get-to-know episode with our other co-host Tom but we decided at the last hour to pull the episode because he wasn't ready to tell his story yet.

ANYWAY - in this episode you will get to know our other co-host Phillip Kuoch who at the age of 15 started a viral k-pop blog called hellokpop, which at it's peak had 4 million monthly readers.

He then went on to start his own doughnut empire called Goldeluck's Doughnuts.

We'll let Phil do the talking because he certainly rambles on a lot when he's tipsy...

- The new 'Mulan' trailer and why it probably won't be a box office hit in China

- How Gabrielle Union spoke up about racism on behind the scenes of 'America's Got Talent' and then being dropped after one season of judging on the show.

- Why Mena Massoud hasn't been offered any auditions after starring as the titular character on Aladdin, which has grossed more than 1 billion dollars at the box office.

- ALSO, why is the internet pissed at a women named Margaret for wearing shoes in the house? Clue: she refuses to take them off because it'd ruin her outfit
