Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day with Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
So you know everybody's screaming about online scamming because it's
a real problem and Singapore may have just found a
way to stop it.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Wow is brew Tall.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I'll tell you what it is and you can decide
whether or not you think this will actually stop the
scammers in just a second. But first we need to
talk about a wellness trend. Everybody can have a little
Wu saw moment, but to get there, people are starting
to do something called dark showering, really creative, especially when
it's just that you're showering in the dark.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
You're asking to slip and fall to hit yourself.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I said, I was like, who would tell anybody to
shower in the dark? You just step on one little bubble.
The next thing you know, you're gone.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
You ever try to close your eyes it take a shower?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
No? I mean I close my eyes when I wash
my hair.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I mean like the whole time I try to find
your stuff in the shower and try to disclose your eyes.
Take a blind shower?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
No, what are you doing in shower? It's fun sometimes that.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Sounds like you is going to go up well, and
yet again you no, you were ahead of the trend.
You will apparently if you've been doing this. Now people
are starting to do it and why Some doctors are
saying that this type of dark shower actually helps with
the sensory change. They can improve your sleep and also
tells your brain to wake up more if you're trying
to do it in the morning, by raising cortisol and

(01:18):
lowering your melotonin.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
That allows you to wake up.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I guess it can do both things, but that doesn't
make sense to me because I feel like it would
increase your melotonin if it's darker, because that's what helps
you go to sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't even care what their reasoning is behind all
of this. It just doesn't feel worth it. I sprained
my ankle one time and I was like screwed for months,
and this is just asking for another way to just
be put back a little bit. Sprained ankle, broken neck.
I don't know, and you know, maybe I don't know
what I'm talking about. If you take dark showers and
it's really improved your life, let us know for six one,

(01:50):
I'd love to hear it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
You can put anything on TikTok and call it a
wellness trend and people would be like, oh yeah, I'm
on it.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, well here's Singapore's new for scammers online. It's actually
really brutal. If they want to cane them and like
that is what.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah great? What I mean. Cane means they take a cane,
they have you tied up on this thing and then
they just bow ow.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, so the offenders will actually be tied down and
forced to write, like to get six whips on their backside.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Oh my gosh, isn't that like bringing it back to
the old They do though, Yeah, countries years ago.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
It was a long time ago, but there was one
American tourist that was over there and I think that
he got caught either with like a joint or he
did graffiti and they ended up like caning the dude.
It was like an international incident. Oh no wait, yeah,
it was a long time ago. It just it feels
so brutal. I don't know if that's going to stop
an online scammer.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's like just like I don't know, don't do, don't scam.
I don't know. The video is viral because you just
see this person.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Just like and it's not a radio yeah, but it's
not a real person that they're hitting. It's just to
give a demonstration of how hard they're going. Like yeah, yeah,
oh that's what's training.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I was in nineteen ninety four. This dude he was
bray painted and stole street signs in Singapore and he
got caned for it. The way you talked about it,
I thought it was like two years ago, and I'm like,
I wasn't even alive.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Still insane, very
