The Industry Before Us (Feat Kumar & Sheikh Haikel) - Just Saying Episode 25 

i don't usually comment, but this was such a rich episode. i loved the conversations, and i loved watching kumar and haikel reminisce about the past. it's also interesting to see how things have changed so much, and i can't imagine what society will be like 20 years from now.

OMG This is the best episode out period. I agree so much with what Kumar and Haikel has to say about current generations. I have shivers all over myself just listening to this. Like seriously, this is true beyond comprehension. Glad I watched this. Thank you Kumar and Haikel for this wonderful insight. I hope people get what they're trying to say. Otherwise, God speed to them.

We need more of this kind of episodes with different guests. And a 20+ minutes one?! IM SOLD!

I agree in the media industry being too conservative, i find asian parents being too conservative in their thinking more in terms of career perspectives. Innovation thrives in silicon valley, the reason there is no silicon valley here is because of how safe everyone is. The standard route to "success" is to spend half your life in school then find out 5 years later your degree has nothing to do with what you want to pursue in life. Something I learnt about people I know who attend colleges like Harvard and ivy leagues, its fancy yes but people there dont see failure as we do at face value in asia, they see it as without failure there is no learning. Failure is very much embraced and seen as a calculated risk thats why it breeds innovation

woahh im not SIngaporean but I feel like i learnt a lot in this episode, very eye opening about the differences in generation

Kumar is by far the best comedian SG ever have. Very few have the talent and skill to push boundaries with intelligence.

Jade is intelligent with her questions, and responses. She has a paradigm shift mentality. She's an old soul.

Thats why Skeikh Haikel and Kumar will be the GOAT of Singapore Entertainment Scene.

Can we have more Haikel and Kumar episodes? I agreed so much what they said. 22:54 mins is not enough

Loved this eps bcos of how true it is esp about pushing the envelopes and munah hirzi’s content. Can also see how much gap and differences there are today. Thank you for the insightful vid! Also, the subtitles was funny too. Good job!

This episode was 22minutes and it still wasnt enough. We NEED MOREEE

best guests, best episode ever. the conversation was so insightful and I genuinely learned a few things from them.

(18:23 - 19:30) The Gentleman part. Old school advice! Best episode! 🤙

I love this channel's content. Being a non-native, I can learn a lot about the local culture and thoughts. The first time, I saw Kumar in a short tik-tok video and I was laughing like mad. he is so talented. I believe if you wanna know about any society, culture and social norms, the best way is to follow their comedy.

This ep is the best one so far! The cast has intelligent people and it would be refreshing to hear about the things y'all have to say about different issues.

I don’t know how to say this but I see Munah intellectual. Beside her beauty, you can sense how confident and eloquent she is. Need an episode of her talking more please.

what an episode and its the RICHEST content EVER DAMMN OG

"For every 100 positives you make, 1 negative is all it takes" In this time...day and age. Losing your job to some controversy is the least of your worries, it is what your descendants will encounter or a still yet to be born person...It is a implication that will affect your family tree for years and years. That is a very huge risk everybody is afraid off.

One of the best episodes, learnt so many things today.

Im Malay from KL, Malaysia. And ive been watching your show since Real Talk, stumbled on your channel during MCO. And i have to say, this is my favourite episode. I am in the entertainment industry myself (music), and its nice to hear the back story of how the OGs struggled & finally made it in Singapore.

OMG YES!!! Talent time was da bombzzz!! Cherry Chocolate Candy.. Triple Noize.. and then they even have a dancing competition called “The Dance Floor” which was so damn fun too… Stylez From Beyond.. J.D.I…

Niceeee! A very good talk of different perspectives of different generations! Really good guys

glad to see kumar and haikel speaking up here. they are legends!

Damn that does not feel like a 22 min video! I enjoy it thoroughly and loved the insights to the 80s. Part two please hahaha

Such a fun episode! A bit messy and contradicting when they give their perspectives, but each message is still very true! I bet there are more random funny clips during the filming of this episode! Would love to see them!

Thank you for inviting Kumar, I’m a fan of his comedy but besides that I believe he has a lot of wisdom to share which was thankfully shown here

This is my favourite episode so far. Everything said was on point! Every single video that you guys have uploaded so far has been amazing however this one was really something else! Keep up the great work and thank you for doing what you guys do! Support from New Zealand/Aussie.

Make this a recurring thing. Have 2 generations talking about stuff.

The 19:00 mins statement from Sheikh is amazingly true and it hits me like an arrow. Growing up, I have always always been doing that realising or not realising it because it started with my mom. When she goes up the escalator I am behind her to protect her just in case she falls or something and I am there to catch her and I've been doing all my dating life and till my wife. You stand in front just in case they fall forward. I stand and cross where the traffic is coming cause if anything were to happened the accident impact will be hit me first to cushion it lesser for the my love ones on my left. This episode is really amazing. I also want to say Haikel bro, if you remember me, it was in 1991, in SPS I had to tried out for rugby, and the main reason that I got selected was because I tackled you down. You have been my idol, my inspiration and I watch you from Asia Bagus till now. Keep doing what you are doing and make Singapore proud. To Kumar, I will never forget in my army daze in 1997-1999 (i think) I was earning $180/month from NS salary, every pay day I would spent money to watch you perform in Bugis, Boom Boom Room and because I did not want to spent more money, I will either lepak at the bus stop of bugis till the first bus or walk home back then from Bugis to Serangoon North. And if you are reading this, we use to chill and lepak together in the 2000s when you perform in HRC, post you show we partied the near kitchen area and post that our occasional supper in Newtown. I missed wathcing you guys perform and I hope one day I get to watch you both perform live once again. Cheers! Shah

munah & hirzi were so funny back then. one of the few i watched in youtube. some people think cringey but i think they were brilliant. And all the nice shows in the past when i was a kid. Asia Bagus, Rollin gd times, the ra ra show.........now i dun even watch any show from mediacorp.

Best episode ever. Make it longer! There is always alot to share from our legends and OGs!

22:03 *someone Shazam this* HAHAHAHA There were other instances of funny subs earlier on as well.Salute to the person who did this!

I miss kumar so much. I starting to resent mediacorp why are we not having more kumar of the next generation

This is gold. I mean I am not from entertainment industry. But what Haikel and Kumar pointed out the essence and gist of quality in work, is hardly to be found in todays generation in every industry. It is a great lesson for all, it is really great lesson for me. Glad youtube recommended me this clip.

When Haikel mentioned Europa, all i could think of is Uncle Jatt Ali, Uncle Eddie, my dad and the rest of Hard Attack performing there.

Man… growing up in the 80s… innocent but not that innocent days! And SBC la!! These guys are FOR SURE just the 2 of a few more OGs! This is the truest realism in Singapore

I love this. This is such a good, heartwarming, intelligent and funny show. Everybody here say the truest things. Good job. You made my day.

Kumar is honestly the funniest and realest comedian in Singapore ❤️ maybe he can teach munah and hirzi the ropes lol

ah the nostalgia... Gurmit's world which gave birth to PCK. and many more ?

Life lessons from Haikel and Kumar, rich content man

Haikel so wise and I like that asking the father to take the daughter out thing. Old but gold.

I have been following you for a long time guys. This is the type of content I LOVE. please more rich conversations and personalities. I really appreciate the great length of having Kumar and Haikal on the show. and this is the first time I am commenting on this. Thank you so much for what you do!!

man, i knew Haikel from a football show he did way back.. he is so eloquent with his word, a sort of philosopher in story telling

Need more of Kumar & Sheikh Haikel on the show and share more of their experience.

lol what haikel said about finding a good guy. now imma hold all potential dates to that! ❤

Finally another episode!!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to upload since ASDFGHJKL. I’m a huge fan! Stay safe and healthy always guys! May you guys be blessed with everlasting blessings and a healthy long life! 🌸

I subscribed this channel cause you bring in Kumar and Sheikh Heykel (OGs). Need more of this .

I feel like no one noticed this but to have such advanced technology the price we humans have to pay is our time, which again no one realise its an essential element to life itself.

I really don’t mind just to sit and watch this for 2 hours!

Damn this is a very very good show. Kudos to everybody involved

11:18 what sheik says here, i agree haha, i couldn't see but YOU COULD FEEL IT LIKE SERIOUS the content they did with that channel was great

Very eye opening episode I still walk on the side of traffic, all the time.

We definitely need more of this keep it up!! 😆👍👏

Munah & Hirzi are legends man. From their videos then up til now. Respect.

This video made me realize how little i know about SG... I only seen Haikel & Kumar, heard of Jade and boy am i surprised about her pursue of quality, reminds me of Angela Baby. Young ppl keep it up yo (the 90s saying)

Best episode by far. Haikel is so fkin intelligent and eloquent, shocked me man. Awesome ep guys
