Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for Nina's what's trending?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
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 1 (00:08):
Wow, is barreu tall? Don't bite.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
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
woo saw moment, but to get there, people are starting
to do something called dark showering, really creative, especially when
it shows that you're showering in the dark.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
You're asking to slip and fall to hit yourself.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
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 that take a shower?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
No? I mean I close my eyes when I like
wash my hair.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I mean, like the whole time I try to find
your stuff in the shower and try to close your eyes.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Take a blind shower? No, what are you doing in
this shower? It's fun? Sometimes is gonna go up?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Just back to picture jubil right now, being like just
feeling all over the wall. It drops like little razor
feeling all over the ground. That just feels so dangerous
to me.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
That's probably is dangerous. Yeah, but it's fun. Oh challenge
whatever makes you, sir. And yet again, you didn't know
you were ahead of the trend. You 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

(01:31):
up more if you're trying to do it when you
in the morning, by raising cortisol and lowering your melotonin
that allows you to wake up.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
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 1 (01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't even care what their reasoning is behind all
of this. It just doesn't feel worth it. I sprayed
my ankle one time and I was like screwed for months.
Remember that I sprayed my ankle. It was like almost
six months. Yeah, Like, and this is just asking for
another way to just be put back a little bit sprained,
ankle broken mack.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
I don't mouth, but they're saying it helps you sleep,
but it also helps you wake up. Yeah, I know.
It just me is that just like contradicting it is.
It is kind of weird. I can't understand it.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
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, I'd love to hear it,
as long as you're not on crutch it.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
What you really learned is Jewels a trendsetter, a trend
follow I just.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Like to do weird things by myself. It's weird, but
I do. But yeah, it's just want to be weird,
do weird things and see what it's like.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
You know, it's weird when we hear about them, and
then you hear that as a trend, it's like, oh whoa.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You know, it happens a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Actually, the weirder it is, the more likely Jewels done it.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You can put anything on TikTok and call it a
well on this trend and people would be like, oh, yeah,
I'm on it.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, well, here's Singapore's new fix for scammers online.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's actually really brutal.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It's they want to cane them and like that is.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
What yeah, wait, what I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Cane means they take a cane, they have you tied
up on this thing and then they.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Just boh ow.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, so the offenders will actually be tied down and
forced to write, like to get six whips on their backside.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh my gosh, isn't that like bringing it back to
the old They do though, ye years ago.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
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 dudes.
It was like an international incident. Oh no wait, yeah,
it was a long time ago.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It just it feels so brutal. I don't know if
that's going to stop an online scammer. It's like just
like I don't know, don't do, don't scam, and I
don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
That's what's trending the videos.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
The video is viral because you just see this person
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.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, that's what's Yeah. I was in nineteen ninety four.
This dude he was bray painted and stole street signs
in Singapore and he got caned for it.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
The way you talked about it, I thought it was
like two years ago, and I'm like, I wasn't even
alive time ago.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I was still insane. Harry
