    Actually the charm of this podcast is the varying level of Mandarin. In Singapore we have such a wide spectrum of viewers. Some with good Chinese some potatoes so this is a dynamic that works.

    Really love the guest this week & it brought back memories of waiting for wahbanana & NOC weekly video updates back in 2013/2014. It was also refreshing to hear Ling Yi & Charlene's challenges as a female boss in SG - feel that we don't get to hear this enough as male bosses in the CZcams scene tend to have more exposure in the media interviews imo. Really enjoyed this episode! 😊

    omg i feel so validated. i work in specialized retail job, and everyone will ignore me and my girl colleague and go straight to my male colleagues even though we are better qualified. i tell the male staff about this reality of ours, and they are very dismissive of it and said we "think too much".

    Lingyi's chinese rlly sounds so good. Totally agree on ryan's statement. I am actually shock to know she is from china but she don't rlly have china accent? Will be awaiting for her chinese podcast though. I think my chinese might improve just listening to her. Haaaa 😂 wonder who will be hosting w her or it will be just her as the main host. Hum.. it's interesting to know the story of wabanana! To be honest i found wah banana becuz of the handsome OG guy. I was so happy to see him on youtube. But sadly he had scandal n there is nomore news on him. I guess its a give n take. The channel prob gained popularity w him as well being the handsome face n funny actor. To be paying the price too when he is in trouble. 😅

    hmm I don't think the female thing is true entirely. I think they ignore the wife because they're not familiar with her, and just may feel awkward. as for Ryan's I think its just a boss thing, plus he's so prominent, so clients will give him face and reply immediately. don't think its a female thing because from my experience, females get equal respect too/ clients always look for the female boss when the whole team is male. (for my job at least), you just gotta show your dominance and of course, be smart.
