"She loves parrots" was one of the reasons given by friends of the Chinese bride. Weird reason aside, is this yet another case of "cultural appropriation" or are netizens being "too sensitive" again? We dive into this with the husky-voiced Noah Yap, one of the stars of our recent TV show.

Come April 2020, ALL motorised PMDs will be banned from footpaths (even hoverboards *gasp*) and users might even need to take theory tests! But are people as triggered or have we all moved on from anything PMD-related? On the other side of the world, Shakira and J Lo rocked the Superbowl Halftime show but people questioned the need for all the gyrating, crotch-grabbing, pole dancing and grinding (of people). We share our thoughts along with those of Caitanya Tan, our guest for this week (she’s also the co-star of our TV series so show some love).

On 1 Feb, Singapore became yet another country that imposed travel restrictions because of the Corona virus BUT became the FIRST in the world to ban anyone with a Chinese passport. But is it a xenophobic policy? In other news, the Singapore Sports School soccer team  beat Assumption Pathway 32-0 in a B Division match, and the internet was divided. But are we?

Do we really need to be that scared of the Wuhan Coronavirus? And is eating wild animals that wrong? In other China-related news, Facebook incorrectly translated a Facebook post by Aung San Suu Kyi and ended up referring to China’s President Xi “faeces hole buttocks” or “Mr Shithole” or both. Coincidental mistake or brilliance passive aggression?

We thought our podcast series on SS was done and dusted when Sukki Singapora popped up suddenly in Singapore! We chatted not just about the show but also about the art of burlesque, in much greater detail than was ever covered in the show. Like the first time she performed in public in Singapore during SG50.

So much has been said about the bushfires in Australia, but why is it still so easy to not give a damn? Should we even though? And a YouTuber made a video dissing SIA crew and got more than 100,000 views. And some people were triggered. What happens next???

"Telling Lies" - the game that Terence is in love with

Norsemen, the Norwegian comedy about Vikings. Here's a trailer:

What better way to start 2020 than talking about Mother Earth and if Singapore can ever ban single-use plastics like our neighbours Thailand just did? Elsewhere, an ex-NTU student uses her intellectual assets to scam her friends into paying for an upgrade to her...other “assets”. But is there more to the case?

Terence's love for "Legend of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild"

Haresh's love for Singapore's weather. If only there was a URL to access it.

In the third of our series getting “Singapore Social”-ed, we chat with Nicole Ong. As the only one of the cast who wasn’t already dipping her toes in the media scene, she offered a very different perspective on the show. And she also talked about THAT cousin. It was a fun convo, especially ‘cos she doesn’t talk as much as Vinny Sharp. Then again, no one does (muackz Vinny!).
