We are kidding guys, we spoke today about how we met our girlfriends, how our relationships are doing right now after a while. It is really something we wanna share with you guys because in the modern relationships we speak about the start but not what happens a year into the relationship.
so... we speak about how our relationships are growing and how different it is right now.

His main goal is to help educating students to give them a different perspective towards different careers in life.
He runs workshops and mentorship programmes that helps them to gather more information and learn about whatever jobs they want to know more.
It's interesting to have in on the show, someone who really cares about the youths in singapore and creating a business just for the sake of educating them more.
As much passion we have for businesses, we didn't think about the education sector as a possible place to venture into, so for us to see him doing this really inspires us to think outside of the box!

He is a silver medalist for Singapore in the recent SEA games 2019 (E-sport) for Starcraft 2. Aside from his pro career, he is currently focusing on creating content in Singapore commonly for Wahbanana and his on youtube channel (Thomas K.)
Talking to him was super cool, he spoke about his struggles going pro, convincing his family to allow him to pursue the dream. We also spoke about how his army affected him but he didn't allow it to be an excuse.
We hope this episode will allow people to understand that the possibility for E-sports in Singapore is actually not that bad. With recent technology, if you really will put in the hard work.

Brendon talks about how he helps troubled kids get through their tough life situations, and describes how he handles a rowdy class. He also makes a mention of what he loves about life, and how he goes the extra mile to mentor the youths he cross paths with. We can really feel the passion from Brendon, as someone who is really doing something he loves and gives so much. In this episode, we hope you learn a little more on how 'teenagers' are actually dealing with huge problems and how to truly connect with them.
Sup Fam!

This episode we dive into one of the most interesting fetishes that we have the pleasure to come across, furry porn. In this episode we cover the everything from how our friend Rico, twitter handle TaxoPhox, got started in the furry community, our childhood stories and how much it takes for us to accept doing explicit sexual acts. It's a crazy episode, we had a ton of fun filming this, we hope you enjoy.
Shoutout to our homie Rico for coming on this show, do show some love to him over on twitter and learn more about the furry community with us! It's not about the fetish but the acceptance of something out of the norm. We are so held down by society's standards of what normal is and what we should do we usually avoid doing things that we might even like. Here's en episode with our brave friend, doing what he loves.
Remember to hit us up on Mental Dumbells on Instagram if you have any feedback or would just like to talk:)
In this episode, we talk about Harcendia and his friendzone story. Many people also have been through a bad relationship that the other half friended zone them..
In this example we used a male perspective however we do know that there is equally the same amount of girls being friendzone as well.
If you ever find yourself in a friendzone situation.. GET OUT. It's not too late. Our intuition always tells us to get out of the relationship.
DO NOT UNDERVALUE YOURSELF. TREAT YOURSELF RIGHT GUYS.

In this Episode, We discuss about how to properly end a conversation
- Topics that we cover in this episode!
NOT EVERY CONVERSATION MUST GO SMOOTHLYYou can never please everyone.... There will be times when people just doesn't want to engage in a conversation with you. It might not actually be your fault so don't take any failed conversation too heavily.
It might that they are having a bad day or something big was troubling their mind that isn't relavent with you AT ALL!
As long as you're putting yourself out there saying hi... You're on the right track!
SMALL TALK IS A WASTE OF TIME?
We also pointed out how often because we are unable to have a proper ending to a conversation, it makes the entire conversation meaningless and we feel that starting any form of conversation is just a waste of time.
Too many times we create a conversation and it ends up not being fruitful between the two parties.
The most important idea is to find out how you both an benefit one another.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR CONVERSATION SUPER DUPER MEANINGFUL!
Aaroson's technique is to ask "So I know this might be weird but, do you have a big problem that you're handling right now that I can help with?"
This way, if you or you know someone that can help with their problem, you can quickly help them to solve a problem!
If not, you have to keep their problem in mind and eventually you will be in a position to help or know someone who can.
PLANNING ANOTHER MEET UP?The best way to plan a meet up can be to set a tentative date (With a common hobby or interest) and keep it as a SOFT BOOKING, then when the date is nearer, give the person a call or a text.
HOW MANY CLOSE FRIENDS CAN YOU REALLY HAVE?
Our number is below 10... Even tho we met so many people around we are unable to be CLOSE friends with a lot of them. You don't need toooo many friends, focus on getting more quality rather than quantity.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE MEMORABLELeave inside jokes, Unique stories or find something about them that is really interesting and show appreciation for it.
It is best to prepare some Jokes, stories before hand and practise telling them! It helps you as a fallback plan if everything becomes stale!
On episode 14, we discuss about starting a conversation and having small talks. This is episode we cover the biggest challenge that we all face... finding conversational topics
Topics that we cover in this episode!
- How to never run out of conversational topics
- How to be interesting
- How to know if the other party is REALLY interested in what you're saying
- How to be annoying (So that you won't be)
- Simple body language
Highlights, Takeaways, & Quick Wins: * Zooming in and out, whenever you hit a conversational brickwall, "Zoom out" and talk about something that he is wearing or something you like about them and talk about it * Practice telling a fun story you have (Interesting holiday, Cold jokes, Palm reading)
It makes you more confident to talk to someone knowing you have a fallback topic * It is always okay to end a bad conversation, not all conversation flows smoothly * Get distracted while telling a story, if it is interesting topic for the person, they will remind you to continue the topic. * 48.30 (Bonus key tip, handling a conversation even without starting a topic) * Maintain eye contact, feet pointed at who you're talking, and SMILE
In this episode we talk all about starting a conversation
Always dreaded small talk?
That girl that you always have been wanting to talk to?
Getting to know that new person at the party?
Aaroson and Hsien have been struggling with starting a conversation for a very long time until they found these tips that helped them ALOT!
We are doing a 4 part series for conversation
1st Part - STARTING
2nd Part - MAINTAINING
3rd Part - ENDING
4th Part (SECRET TO BEING A ULTIMATE CONVERSATIONALIST)
In this 4 part series of a conversation we dive into the tips that we use to start a conversation, small stories about how we benefited from starting a conversation, what small talk really is, key essentials that we need to get better starting conversations.
Psychiatrist will prescribe medicine
Psychologist will NOT prescribe medicine, They focus on the treating emotional and mental suffering in patients with behavioral intervention.
People visit a psychiatrist all the time, and if you're facing some emotional problems please don't hesitate. It doesn't mean you're crazy.
We answer, what it is really like getting professional mental help!
In this episode, we have Kirby Chua!
He is a Registered Psychologist and a Registered Clinical Supervisor in Singapore. Kirby has been in practice since 1999.
(GRACE COUNSELLING CENTER)
http://www.gracecounsellors.com/about-us/
NOT SPONSORED
Taking time out from his busy schedule he graciously comes down to our humble studio and taught us A LOT OF MINDBLOWING STUFFS!
Funny story... Hsien met his wife on a GRABSHARE.
While having a conversation with the grab driver, his wife overheard the conversation and told him that she is a counselor!
So they were extremely cool and awesome to come down on our podcast to educate us properly about mental health and discuss how professional help actually looks like.
We discussed about depression, anxiety attacks and how one should react and help when they come across someone they love with this problem.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY AWESOME EPISODE.
