    #8: My Demon Ex-Fiancee From Hell!

    (APOLOGIES FOR THE GLARING ECHO FROM MY MICROPHONE) Back at it again with the two blokes from the previous episode: Syaiful and Mirza. This is an intervention. Of sorts. Mirza bravely shares his harrowing story of his ex-girlfriend turned fiancee of three years. Engaged for only three months. Harsh. Afiq and Syaiful give unqualified advice. Syaiful laughs a lot. Afiq has a sleepy and echoey voice. Mirza does thank you shout outs to the ones that helped him through that difficult period in his life at the end. Mirza's hair reminds Syaiful of Pennywise. Emotional. Raw. Cooked.

    #5: The Idiot's Guide to Toxic Relationships, Red Flags and Self-Enlightenment

    In this episode, the boys discuss toxic relationships and the various accompanying red flags that are just stupid and ridiculous. Friend and guest “Fakrol” joins this episode fresh from his own experiences in a toxic relationship. The boys also share their experiences dealing with the emotional aftermath that comes after dabbling in such entanglements. They also talk about the importance of honesty, self-love, knowing one’s worth and the lessons one could stand to gain. The boys tell it as it is. They’re no Thought Catalog. This is our most serious episode, you guys. We’re talking about some super deep-seated issues of the heart stuff here. Raw, personal, and broken English.

    #4: We Are Singkahpore, Singkahporeans

    In this episode, Naz returns! This time as the official co-host of the podcast. This episode celebrates the nation’s 55th birthday as the boys ramble about what they love about the country, typical National Day traditions, and what’s potentially different about this year’s celebrations amid these trying Coronavirus times. Afiq shares his annoyance with entitled Singaporeans and his desire to emigrate to another country someday. Naz shares his experience being “involved” in the National Day Parade celebrations and educates uncultured swine Afiq about local Chinese food. The boys also talk about the differences between Singapore and Malaysia and the decline of the National Day song. Neither boys actually care about the National Day Parade lah honestly. (Our sincerest apologies as this episode had some audio, staticky noise interferences in the background. Bopian ah.)

    #2: Mendak Energy

    In this episode, the boys reflect on the feedback they've received from the pilot. They address the love, constructive comments, criticisms and the general consensus that Naufal seemingly exhibits dumb levels of "mendak energy" and isn't suited to host a podcast. “Mendak” is a colloquial, slang term in Malay, which essentially means boring. Afiq makes fun of one stupid feedback and then digresses into why he refuses to work in the F&B industry. Afiq also channels his inner a*****e and pokes fun at his co-host's many quirks: intonation, delivery, monotone voice, stench of "mendak energy" and infinite scowling. In response, Naufal goes on the defensive, desperate to make a mark. He strikes back and then mumbles about some other shit. Naufal calls this one his “redemption episode”. Also, his audio is better this time.

    #1: Pilot

    In the pilot, the boys talked a wee bit about the upcoming Singapore General Election 2020, Naufal's weird excitement about being a first time voter, their love for podcasts and how it all came to be. Afiq flexes his geeky know-how about Star Wars chronology in a terrible digression midway through the recording. Everything is fine and dandy.
