In this episode, they talk to Jonathan Chan, the first Singaporean diver and Singapore's first confirmed participant in the 2020 summer Olympic games in Tokyo, Japan.

They also share their favourite memes that came from the viral picture of a recruit named Imran at his BMT rifle presentation ceremony.

Lastly, in a new segment called #PositiveVibes, the hosts talk about the Singapore football team Lions' win over Palestine, which puts them at the top of their World Cup qualifying group.
