Podcast!
She made me do it. SHE MADE ME FRICKING DO IT. I teamed up with Tessa of www.wessatong.com to do my first and probably last “podcast”*. A podcast, as the annoyingly peppy Ms Wong kept hammering into my brain until my ears started bleeding, is a bit like a radio show except the “DJs” are bloggers. So for whoever has the time and inclination to do so, the following is a 30 minute (!!!) mp3 of the two of us talking about nothing in particular, interspersed with 4 songs of our choosing. And no, none of the songs are from Disney films.
You have been warned. Download Podcast No.1 here.
Note: Tessa lives in the UK, so this was all done via the internet, using the internet telephony software called Skype.
*January 2006 Update: Spoke too soon, didn’t I.
Dear God! It’s college radio all over again…NOOOOOOOOO! You guys perfected the art of awkward silence. And yet, the british accents are strangely soothing. mmmmm…mmm…touching…self.
I liked it better when you still ATLEAST tried to deny that you were a blogger.
It’s all in the title bar. Just accept it. I have. It hurt at first but then I liked it.
wow, you really edited it quite heavily!
this world is too fucking small.
hey tessa, how ya going…
??
What’s the title and the name of the band of that last song? I can’t derive the spelling of the band name from what you said…
Loved the songs that were played. And I have to say the English accent + Singaporean accent is quite a nice combo for me personally.
i liked the music
The last song was “Head Massage” by Soulflip.
-______- - pop! HWUH?! Yuz! Nice accents.
Oh jeeze. This is ever so slightly tempting to start my own radio casts… What crimes you’ll be responsible for Mr Jon. What crimes.
Note to self: Do not attempt HTML again. Lie low for three years.
ur blog was funny! great posh girl accent tessa!
you should hear jon’s.
Really like that second song… by Love Itch was it?
Lovage - Stroker Ace from the Album Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By
Wow! Nice new layout! And …. you switched to WP huh? ;) cool one, really!
I am downloading the podcast :)
Thanks Adam.
where is tessa from? her accent is…yeh.
Omicron Persiei 8, I think.
i love the pic (am too lazy to listen to the podcast, sorry)
Love it! You should do more of these. furiously downloads songs by Soulflip
What?! That’s it? What was Tessa’s answer? Wheelchair or…
The world will never know.
my accent sounds cRaZy like the c00l and fUnKaY bitch i am.
ami: are you the ami with 10,000 cats, whom i know and love (not least for the cat collection)? well my answer was… nothing really, because i started talking about stephen hawking and mindspam. which was q.gd actually, but unfortunately that last bit fell victim to yongfook’s tyrannical editing lust.
hmm sorry tessa, must have confused you with this chick i knew ages ago who went to the same school (MGS)…
oh shit. yes, now i do remember you. i used to hang out with you and your twin sister aurelia (aurelie? well something like that) when we were primary 6, i think. and we used to watch Point Break and squeal about Keanu Reeves!
Podcasting hmmm good idea, it reminds me of “Pump up the volume” where slater is playing ‘pretend’ jerking off on the radio, except replace slater with yongfook and mention the word “cock” at least once. STEVE HOLT!
The way you keep yelling STEVE HOLT disturbs me. I knew a Steve Holt, who I always thought wanted to kill me, though we were civil enough towards one another. I ask again, you’re not from Vermont are you?
No no, no cats here. Just one very cute puppy. Damn Jon’s tyrannical editing lust! I want our 5 minutes, damnit!!
No, its a geeky AD (arrested development) refrence. One of the minor characters does a victory stance while screaming STEVE HOLT!
Holy shit, that’s right. I wonder if that guy who wants to kill me has seen the show.
Oh my fucking god.
Yongfook, Tessa, if you two ever get together again and release another podcast I will personally cut of your scrota.
You stole 30 minutes of my life…
I can’t be all negative, your music taste is excellent. Instead of podcasts filled with talk about penis (we get enough of that in the regular blog) you could just play some songs.
are there mushroom flavoured crisps out there?
I think I can - construe - some very interesting repressed desires.
From the first five minutes: Tessa: “Are you sure your cock is so big?” Subtext: Show me leh. Yong Fook: “Why do you only sleep with white men?” Subtext: Why not me?
I could give more Freudian interpretations if necessary… but then I might get sued for defamation.
Good god tell us something we don’t know.
is it wrong that i’m totally proud of how accentless tessa is? i’m sick and tired of people who go overseas and suddenly erase the way they’ve spoken for the first 18 (or so) years of their life.
Heh, ‘accentless’.
I don’t know how you can say ’suddenly erase’ though, it takes years to move an accent and after 18 it’s practically set in stone.
If anything, I’m sick and tired of how hard it is to budge the damn thing now ,___,
You sound like Hugh Grant , kind of….
Supposedly I am most like Hugh Grant according to my girlfriend, my mother, and two Japanese school girls (who all decided this separate of each other and told me at different times). I find this to be interesting because I’m half Japanese and American. The only thing that Hugh Grant and I have in common are our love of crackwhores…and apricots. But then again, you weren’t referring to me were you? Fuckin’ hell, I have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t a forum so much as a comments page. Apologies.
Does anybody know, how to erase a german accent? It seems to be quite impossible, like removing the little stones from raspberry jam.
reads Kailoi’s post with a German accent
giggles
I find a sturdy amount of alcohol will erase virtually anything you want it to erase. Including, but not limited to, accents.
That’s true: alcohol kills ze sharp edges - generally
adam> that’s what i thought, but seemingly the singaporean accent is the most, umm, “erasable”. because when you come back home from your studies abroad, you start finding it just crazy difficult trying to “blend in” again. :\ well, at least that’s the usual excuse.
victoria: well, i do have an english accent which i adopt when at work, for quick communication with customers. according to yongfook it is close to the ’surrey girl’ accent.
This is a irrelevant comment: Could I just ask how you save the image in Flash into a file? Could I possibly have a quick glance at the source?
tessa> oh, that’s not a problem, since having to repeat yourself overseas (and especially for work) might prove tiring. it’s just the people who come home and insist on needing to be repeated here, well…
more accents in future (?) podcasts, please. :D
well done.
Yong Fook…you are funny, but the sad fact is that you sound funny too…
in fact…you sound like a paedophile.
where did you get that samurai champloo song from??!!
moree podcast!!!
the samurai champloo song is from the Departure OST, you can download the full song from my site.
Tessa’s accent posh? Okay, somebody’s not been to Singapore obviously.
The comments here are much more interesting. And the songs are much more groovy than the cock conversation. Come on, we don’t need to talk about Jon’s cock. I mean, Big cock or small cock, everyone wants a piece of Jon… that is a flattery, Jon. ;-)

Arrested Development is the best show evar! Favorite quote: “Michael? George Michael.”
The podcast was great and Tessa you sound hawt.
I found this site by looking up “Mojo Jojo Avatars” on yahoo.com. Best thing to happen to me today…
Anyhow www.wessatong.com is dead right? That makes me sad…Makes me wanna cry…
I like the podcast though!! It wasn’t disastrous!!
Could someone please ask Tessa to drop me an email? I’m her biggest fan. Sort of.
totally irrelvant– i love arurian dance by the nujabes. nice work with the podcast yf an tessa; for a first. filled with lotsa awkward moments but do try not to talk so much about your dick alright.

OMFG!!!11!! The mp3 doesn’t download?!?!
whoops sorry, fixed now.
The Holy Hand Grenade Of Antioch !!
Thats pretty entertaining stuff, I liked the chit chat and the music was excellent. Both of you clearly have good taste in music.
Weird thing though, Tessa has only been in the u.k but already has a surrey accent? I’ve been living here my whole bloody life and I have a bb fucking c accent. It makes me feel like an outcast.
Anyways, Im all for the podcastsss!!!111!!!!
