Racism is a common topic in Singapore. Something that can polarise people and sour relationships. This week we break apart and talk about an interesting incident that happened awhile back. We recorded this awhile ago but felt that it was a unique conversation to dive into nonetheless. These are our own thoughts & opinions.

Have you ever had the desire to sign on to serve in the police force? 

Our guest shares about his own experience and perspectives on being a police officer in Singapore. He leaks Joel's outrage of modesty crimes, dealing with drunks & unofficial offical racial sterotypes based on his experience. What kind of life would you expect when you sign on? Dealing with weapons on the job, bribes & do chicks love a man in uniform? - Also as an underlying question to this episode, do you believe that people deserve a second chance in life?

The DEATH of Hawkers. AKA the Death of a huge chunk of Singapore's culture & history. The DEATH of Hawkers. AKA the Death of a huge chunk of Singapore's culture & history. ON THIS EPISODE we share OUR own takes on the things that are posing threat to Hawker Culture. RAISING RENT | GOVERNMENT | COVID | UNIONS | BUSINESS | TOURISM | HERITAGE | FOREIGNERS | CAI PENG | YOUNG HAWKERS | EVOLUTION | MODERNIZATION | FOOD COURTS |

We have heard a lot about the topic of rent when it comes to Hawkers but are the government agencies 100% to blame for these changes? Are young hawkers a fad? Will real hawkers be a thing of the past? Do we REALLY need to have food courts?

“Into the dark night
Resignedly I go,
I am not so afraid of the dark night
As the friends I do not know,
I do not fear the night above
As I fear the friends below.”
― Stevie Smith

This week we met up with Davelle Lee who is an incredible wordsmith that used to run a podcast called Some Scuffs. There she unpacks what social anxiety really means and we cover some of that on this episode too. We talk about Ivan's severe social anxiety issues and why he finds it so difficult to accept Joel's "I miss you". We also dive into our relationships and how they have shaped the way we are today. & we digressed into a short conversation about tattoos too.
