Could have volunteered when plane PA asked for doctor… laughter is the best medicine
I am saying this with utmost respect. We should take standby comedy "more seriously". With the increasing mental health cases in Singapore. We should learn to laugh more at stressful issues and also learn not to take ourselves too seriously. Learn to laugh at ourselves too. Comedy gives us a fresh perspective on life and go a long way to reduce our mental oppressions. But still see a psychiatrist/counsellor if required.
Why Jon is not in the pod😢
Wah this episode just flew by so quickly, its so gooood
can get Ming Yue and Kuah Jen Han on the pod?
Woohoo Dr Jason ❤😊

OMG Dr Jason Leong... "Singaporean Dollars"😏😏🫰🏻🫰🏻💵
Wah that Serene dam power.
I’m elated y’all managed to invite Dr Jason, I’ve been a huge fan for many years. Saw him live last year when he opened for Jimmy O Yang and it was a dream come true. I already bought 2 tickets for his Oct show and haven’t decided who to invite yet - that’s how much of a fan I am and I know he’s gonna blow our minds!
So many awesome stories and lessons 🎉 Hope you can get him again in another episode
As always, Denise is well prepared and control the pace like a conductor. 👏
