So check this out. You don't want to be the middle child. So if you are, just change the status now. OK, I'll tell my middle child. You are, yeah, I'm a middle child. And why don't you want to be the middle child? So a researcher found children born in the middle of the family are at higher risk than their older or younger siblings of not being as successful as an adult.

So check this out. You don't want to be the middle child. So if you are, just change the status now. OK, I'll tell my middle child. You are, yeah, I'm a middle child. And why don't you want to be the middle child? So a researcher found children born in the middle of the family are at higher risk than their older or younger siblings of not being as successful as an adult.

Uh, it's not about birth order. It's about the pecking order and the economic disparities that naturally occur based on where you land in that order. So, uh, middles are less likely to receive financial support for their education. Middles may do less well in school than their siblings. I did hor, yeah.

So, uh, middles are less likely to receive financial support for their education. Middles may do less well in school than their siblings. I did hor, yeah.

Yeah, my older sister was pretty bad in school too, but I think I might have been the worst. Younger sister was great. Um, the chance that middle borns will attend a private school drops by 25% with the birth of a third child. Now I went, I went to private school. Maybe you're a unique situation, and the chance that middles will be held back a year in school increases severalfold with the birth of the 3rd child. I was held back a year in school. OK, I think you're a prime example then.

OK, I think you're a prime example then.

Well, a lot of that, uh, is accurate to me, but not all of it. But it did take me a while to become properly successful. I wonder why it took a long time.

Well, a lot of that, uh, is accurate to me, but not all of it. But it did take me a while to become properly successful. I wonder why it took a long time.

I think psychologically maybe the parents are like um saving up for the 3rd 1 when the 3rd 1 comes along, oh, you know, oh this is like probably my last child I'm going to have, so you pile on a bit more on that final child. First one gets to all the benefits of oh first child, one kind of middle one was the last child for a while, you know what I mean? So they had some of the perks, but then after that, when the 3rd 1 came along.

Yeah, you know, let us know, as a matter of fact, 961-71905, if you are a middle child, is this accurate or are you, uh, the next Elon Musk or what's that?

Yeah, you know, let us know, as a matter of fact, 961-71905, if you are a middle child, is this accurate or are you, uh, the next Elon Musk or what's that?

So are you, have you, did you get less financial support? Did you do less well in school than your siblings? Will you held back? And, and how are you doing now financially and everything? Are you, are you are you are you you're doing OK now? So I'm doing OK now, but as a child in schooling years and and whatnot, my career was just so.

up and down. I had success when I was young, but then it went away for so long. And then it started back up at 38 years old. I mean, in between, I was, you know, fixing toilets and digging ditches the effects of whatever these things were, I've been as a as a middle child or my, my choice of a dumb career path. Oh.

Stay, don't go. More hits are on the way on Mediacorp Gold 905. Sounds good, feels good. A very good start to your Thursday, April 3rd, and we were talking just now about how

Stay, don't go. More hits are on the way on Mediacorp Gold 905. Sounds good, feels good. A very good start to your Thursday, April 3rd, and we were talking just now about how

Um, a bit of factual info that you gave was that the middle child usually does, doesn't do very well usually I mean it's not in every case, but as a, as a kid, is it, the middle child will grow up and not be as successful as the others and not do as well in school. Yeah.

Um, a bit of factual info that you gave was that the middle child usually does, doesn't do very well usually I mean it's not in every case, but as a, as a kid, is it, the middle child will grow up and not be as successful as the others and not do as well in school. Yeah.

I thought that the information was purely just about how it was as a kid, they grow into an adult, they will not be as successful. Well, we got someone who says, Bull. OK. Jasmine says, well, not agreeing with this research, my middle child is doing awesome in Korea and so successful. So it's good, it's good. Is it an outlier or I don't know because so for me it was, it wasn't straightforward, it was a struggle for me.

Is it an outlier or I don't know because so for me it was, it wasn't straightforward, it was a struggle for me.

As a middle child. So there's, we have 2 now. Let's get any others come in. Uh, someone says, my view is 100% people think for gender first, not really giving us a help in terms of of of a middle child, but it says preferably a baby boy first and a baby girl for the second.

As a middle child. So there's, we have 2 now. Let's get any others come in. Uh, someone says, my view is 100% people think for gender first, not really giving us a help in terms of of of a middle child, but it says preferably a baby boy first and a baby girl for the second.

If it's a baby girl first, and the couple will hope for a baby boy subsequently. So I think what Marcus is saying is that if it's a boy second, they probably give it much more, but if the girls second, they might not. So maybe that's what affects gender that more Asia though? Because I don't think that, I don't think uh in the US the the whole boy thing is a thing, maybe in the 50s, the state has messaged in to say that middle child success is an outlier.

They kind of agree with the research. Yeah, we'll see, I don't know, it's interesting, right? It's just an interesting concept here. I'm not saying one or the other. I don't know. And I think this research then, even though it's an American story, if this is something that happens happens in Asia as well, I think the takeaway here is to look at your middle child and go give them the support if you think really take a look and examine.

No, no, no, um, so what you should do is do some leg swings, you know, forward, side to side, circular leg swings, like look what the footballers do, but when they're warming up, that whole jumping the leg going to the right and left thing, doing that feel like we're gonna fall off, man.

Torso twists, just gentle rotations of the upper body, right, gentle, not too hard, uh, arm circles, we all know how to do that. High knees, lift your, you know, the high knee thing, uh, and butt kicks, bring your heels towards your glutes while jogging in place. So that's a good way to warm up if you want to do some, uh, lunges, you can do that too, you know, just a little some squats, a couple of that just to just warm up. Get the hip flexors and the joints moving.

For me, the way I want, when I go to the driving range and I'm just completely caught, I just start with very, I just start with chip shots, then move up, you know, but I should be warming up. I should be stretching, I should be. I saw this warm up from this one particular pro golfer, and she was warming up on these are her steps can prevent your injury, 34, she went on to about 20 and it's like a.

Uh, and by the way, here's something else, schizophrenic hallucinations are apparently shaped by culture. In the United States, the voices are harsher and more threatening. But in Africa and India, if you have schizophrenic hallucinations, they're actually more benign and playful. Well, that's nice. So it's shaped by culture, shaped by environment, the area I grew up with the media that's thrown at you.

It can, and I was saying it can be, you know, it, it depends. I mean, if you have a, a close relationship with the filmmakers, producers, uh, for TV or film, it's, it's, it makes no difference. They, they, uh, the producers are producers, directors are directors, and, and, uh, in TV though, you do have to, you know, you deal with some, some notes and stuff from network occasionally, that kind of thing.

Uh, I was fortunate. I worked with some great people on some great shows, and I also worked, you know, had to work a little bit harder on others, you know, where, where, uh, where you're asked to either change things that, uh, you thought were finished or whatever, and, and the, it's deadline city, you know, it's, it's really about,

And, and both seem to work in, you know, in concert with each other, you know what I mean? It takes a, it takes a minute to get up to speed and to get your to get the muscles strong, but once you're, once you're like in the, in the thick of a season of a series, something like that, then, then it's, you're up and running.

And one more question on that, can you overthink a composition if you have too much time?

And one more question on that, can you overthink a composition if you have too much time?

Absolutely. It's, it's usually in the sort of the development of what the music is, and I'm speak only for myself. I'm sure there are other composers listening out there that are going, he doesn't know what he's talking about, which is probably true to some degree. But for me that, you know, I would overthink things, especially at the beginning of the process of working on a particular show or, or a film, and, and generally, you know, in that, in those cases, the comments are just, you know, can you just simplify a little bit and then

Right? OK, sorry, I'm asking questions. No, no, go ahead. No, I'm just, I'm just so thrilled that, you know, they're coming to Singapore on 29th April and uh apparently know Total is getting a resurgence. People are actually in the age group of 35 and under even are enjoying Toto's music again. I mean, how does it feel? How does it feel having this resurgence with total music?

It's fantastic. I mean, I, I've been touring now with Luke and, and a, you know, a few changes in musicians, musicians along the way, but uh steadily now for 20, for 15 years, the last 15 years, we started up again.

It's fantastic. I mean, I, I've been touring now with Luke and, and a, you know, a few changes in musicians, musicians along the way, but uh steadily now for 20, for 15 years, the last 15 years, we started up again.

And it's been a kind of a steady climb. It's strange. Uh, you know, we, we owe a lot to, to the rebirth of, of the song Africa in a few different, uh, iterations, you know, it showed up on the popular television show, it showed up, you know, in pieces with a rap artist and, you know, a few things like that sort of, sort of got us back in business, especially with the, with the younger crowd.
