Episodes
0159 - revelryHQ Reddit (Relationship/Dating)
Reddit dating stories get WILD, so we decided to give our completely unsolicited relationship advice. For the first time on revelry podcast, we’re reacting to Reddit dating and relationship stories and debating what we would actually do in each situation. Is dating your best friend’s younger sister crossing a line? What do you do when someone uses AI to create an entire fake relationship and famil
0158 - Singapore Pub Crawl
What makes a school teacher walk away from a stable career to build one of Singapore’s most iconic nightlife experiences?

From taking the leap out of teaching, to losing everything overnight during COVID-19, and figuring out how to get introverte
0156 - DMC( Disco Mix Club)
Does anybody actually care if you're a good DJ anymore? No smart business idea. No ROI. No algorithm play. Just two DJs who believe the craft still matters, and they're willing to lose money proving it. On this episode, we're joined by Koflow, widely regarded as the leading authority on hip hop DJing in Singapore and owner of Kossa, and DJ Rough, co-organizer of DMC Singapore's revival after years
0155 - revelryHQ (Fear of enjoying life)
What started as a random conversation on a bus turned into a full episode about why people are afraid to enjoy life. In this episode, we talk about why suffering can feel safer than joy, why some people would rather feel nothing than risk the comedown after happiness, and what it actually takes to relearn how to feel good. A conversation about fear, comfort, and the discomfort of letting yourself
0154 - revelryHQ (Adult Friendship)
How many people do you actually have in your life that you can call at 2AM? Not text. Call. Most people count on their fingers and come up short. And the wild part is it's not because you're bad at making friends. Everything that made friendship easy when you were younger, the forced proximity, the daily contact, the no choice but to see you again, just stops existing once you leave school. And no
0153 - Bhas Karan (Ex-Sergeant Major)

0152 - revelryHQ (Life Ater AGI)
Your job might be gone in 10 years. So what do you do with your life? We went down a rabbit hole on AGI, recursive self-improvement, and what actually happens when AI becomes smarter than its own creators. The answers were not what we expected. White collar jobs go before factory workers. Consulting firms recommended AI to their clients and got replaced by it. Your doctor is already using ChatGPT.
0157 - Wilson (Pokémon Cards)
Wilson started collecting Pokémon cards around 2015-16, back when a pack cost $20 and nobody outside the hobby cared. He says it's "just a hobby," but he's clearly gone deep enough that his wife's started quietly selling off pieces of his collection. Then Logan Paul happened, the market went insane overnight, and Wilson found himself sitting on cards that used to be pocket change and are now worth
0151- revelryHQ (Beauty Standard)
Beauty standards aren't about being attractive. It's about who has the power. Think about it. Pale skin used to mean you were rich because you didn't work outside. Now in the West, tan skin means you're rich because you can afford vacations. The standard flipped, but the logic stayed the same. It was never about what looks good. It was always about signaling status. In this revelryHQ episode we as

0149 - revelryHQ (The Marriage Trap)
We've all been asked the same question. When are you getting married? When are you having kids? And most of us just follow the path. BTO at 25. Married by 28. Kids by 30. Because that's what you're supposed to do. But nobody actually sits down and asks — does any of this make sense anymore? So the revelryHQ crew did. No guests, no filter. Just an honest conversation about why Singapore's housing s

0139 - revelry HQ (Secret Santa + Single Parent Childhood)
We kick things off with a chaotic Secret Santa then each person has to answer a random question after receiving their gift — “high & low” style. What starts as banter (Uniqlo gifts, Victorinox knives, giant champagne glasses, “don’t be a DJ” type comments) slowly turns into real talk about what our childhood shaped in us.
