YLB #82 - Is Ellen not so “KIND” Afterall & LTA Releases Guidelines for Pedestrians
2020 hasn’t been great for Ellen, but is shit finally hitting the fan for her? But are claims of her and her “toxic work culture” fair, justified or even surprising? What about the celebrities defending her? Closer to home, LTA’s guidelines lay out the Do’s & Don’ts of being a pedestrian, but is it even necessary?

YLB #81 - That Viral FB Post on the Elderly Cleaner & Does the NDP Song Suck?
Earlier this week, a FB post by Meng Shuen Koh about his interactions with an elderly cleaner went viral, but after the Govt and MP Tan Chuan Jin stepped in, the Internet was divided. Why? Elsewhere, the new NDP song by Nathan Hartono has gotten some backlash. But is it fair?

YLB #80 - Should Singlish be CANCELLED and WP’s Pritam gets some serious $$$
A few days ago, a FB post by Mr Johann Loh calling for Singlish to be cancelled (along with 8 reasons why) went viral. Should it? Elsewhere, WP’s Pritam Singh and Leader of Opposition, will be getting twice the monthly allowance of an MP (SGD385,000 a year). Was it a masterstroke by the PAP? Note: We recorded this BEFORE Mr Singh announced what he’ll be doing with his increased salary, so just a heads up.

YLB #79 - Our thoughts on OKLETSGO, Post- “XiaXue & Narelle” and THAT Joanna Theng video
It’s been an interesting 2 weeks - appearing as guests on the No.1 Podcast in Singapore, having both XiaXue and Narelle Kheng on our podcasts, and getting A LOT of feedback on those episodes from our fans. We wrap our heads around all of that and respond to the feedback. Oh, and our podcast hit No.5 on Spotify’s charts this week too ;)

Another special episode with another special guest - Narelle Kheng. Well-known as a great musician, we talk about her recent convos with XiaXue, “woke” culture and her thoughts on the future of opposing viewpoints.

YLB #77 - XiaXue, like you've never heard her before
In a special episode, we have a heart-to-heart with XiaXue and talk about stuff she’s never talked about before. Cancel culture, her recent convos with Narelle Kheng, and lots more. Whatever you think of her, you can’t deny that she’s influential. But at what cost to her own personal life?

YLB #76 - Mediacorp character gets LGBTQ backlash & TrueLove.Is’ questionable video
This week, Mediacorp faced backlash (again) for a CH8 drama with a character who is gay, a paedophile AND an STD-character. Fair criticism? Elsewhere, we wrap our heads around a video by TrueLove.Is about a “sexually-addicted” gay man who overcame his desires.

YLB x GE2020 #9 - The GE2020 results and where do we go from here?
It’s a historic moment in SIngapore’s history and well, it’s been a ride. We try to wrap our heads around what results mean, whether the PAP will change and what the next 5 years could look like. And we also say a big thanks to all of YOU :)

YLB #74 - Is the “XiaXue vs Narelle Kheng” beef a sign of things to come?
Just when we thought the “XX vs. Cancel Culture” was done, in steps Narelle Kheng (of Sam Willows fame). As “XX vs Narelle” went from tense to cordial and then INTENSE again, we wonder if it’s even possible for opposing views to be shared. We also address some comments on Reddit about “Cancel Culture”.

YLB #73 - XiaXue calls out “cancel culture”, but does she have a point?
It’s DAY 9 and it’s time to COOL OFF. So no talk about p******s or G*2020. Instead, we talk about XiaXue’s diss on “cancel culture”. Do we agree or disagree? And we finally bring back our “One Shiok Thing” segment!
