As regards the mrbrown show

DigitalLifeTo Terry, Kormmandos, Annibrow, James and everyone else who’ve noticed and emailed me lately asking why I haven’t been heard on the mrbrown show. Thanks for asking.

Well, I haven’t been on the mrbrown show for a few weeks now because it’s time to move on to other things.

But it’s been a great year and a half writing and performing the silly skits that have made the show popular, and I’ve really enjoyed my time collaborating with mr brown and some of our guests (as well as being the hapless customer in the Zhng My Car series, and the hapless ‘customer’ in the Bak Chor Mee skit).

I have to thank Kin Mun for coming up with the crazy idea of having a podcast in the first place, and remember, we started out with an iPod and one of those plug-in mics you buy from the iShop or Apple Centre. Nothing stopped the occasional recording, and I remember a serious bout of flu keeping Kin Mun at home, necessitating the complex set-up of Skype and other software which allowed us to remotely ‘host’ a thirty minute show talking about such important national issues as ‘what is toilet paper called in Mandarin’?

The answer I offered (that we used to call toilet paper ‘shit paper’ in Mandarin) made Kin Mun laugh so hard he coughed himself off the chair, knocking out cables and having to set up the setup again. At least that was what he told me. I couldn’t see for sure, and had to take his word for it.

As for the very popular character ‘Johnny’, played inimitably by Kin Mun, credit is due to our friend Daryl Sng, who, on a pub outing with us, said, ‘eh, you know it would be very funny to have a Singaporean version of MTV’s Pimp My Ride, called ‘Zhng My Car”, or something. I paraphrase, but you know what I mean lah.

ZaobaoWorking on the podcast also made me realise that people take nonsense seriously, and it was both stressful and humbling to have guests ask to appear on the show. To date, we’ve had radio djs, film-makers, actors, singers, bands, writers, fellow bloggers, and according to Kin Mun, we’ve also stashed away recordings of taxi drivers, colleagues and the laksa auntie downstairs of the mrbrown show studio in Katong.

I’ve had friends who’ve made jokes, laughed at their own jokes, and then paused to ask me, ‘eh, is that going to be on the podcast?’ Nothing was sacrosanct, except things deemed sacrosanct at common law and acts of parliament.

I’m now looking forward to doing my own stuff again, and that includes writing (hint: if you’ve got writing gigs, let me know), and I’d like to thank every listener who has been supporting the show all this while. Youse rocks!

    Even though, I’m far away(perth,oz) from home(singapore) but I still could listen to singlish and hokkien through the podcast which brings me closer to home.

    THANK YOU so much for all the podcast.

    will miss your slightly nasal voice, Miyagi.

    But yeah, you do have bigger things to move on to. Hope you do your best writing on this blog, so we can continue to enjoy your uniquely Singaporean sense of humour.

    As the Best Motion Picture Highlander says, who wants to podcast forever?!!

    Those laughters reminds me of all my close friends in younger days.

    All the best in all that you do and hope to hear some surprise comeback in Mr brown show. Just not use to the show without “your presence”. All the best to New Crews! They are great too!

    Hello Miyagi,

    Finally you’ve made the announcement,
    on podcast & on blog.

    Wishing you continued enjoyment in doing
    your own stuff & your writing.

    Our family will miss your voice in the ‘cast.
    You were the smooth counterpoint to
    mrbrown’s colloquial punch.

    Looks like the WTF!shows will take a new direction
    too, if they ever continue?
    Yours & mrbrown’s Switch nicely produced videos are amongst my finest memories.

    I only got the latest news from the recent podcast that you would be leaving to pursue other ventures.

    I know they will miss you on mrbrownshow… but I missed both you and brown’s posts on the blog. Not having your posts to read every morning/lunch/evening (delete where applicable) were the reason why I got constipation: no chance to laugh/ponder/frown/smile at regular intervals broke my post-blog bowel pattern. There’s really no one quite like you, miyagi, and also mrbrown. Some stuff cannot be replaced.

    I know you will be missed on the mrbrownshow, but can you hear a ‘hurrah, he’s going to blog more often (I hope)’ from Holland V, mrmiyagi?

    Glad you’re continuing to contribute in anyway you can. =)

    Well, I guess it is the right time to come out of the shadow of “Mr Brown” Show. Why not call “Brown and Miyagi Show” hor?
    I think I sense that drift alongside with the sudden split.

    Ruby and Imran? Somehow doesn’t gel the same leh. Remember the DJ Joe Augustine and the Flying Dutchman? Somehow Joe or Flying Dutchman just does not cut it going alone.

    Well, it is all my own conspiracy theory. Mr Brown did not sound too good, when you announced the last podcast leh? Hmm.

    Good luck to your new ventures, keep me posted hor?

    It’s true, but ever since you left the mrbrown show, it seems the podcasts have not been as funny as they used to be when you were on it. I’m not saying this for the sake of having something nice to say, like when you’re in showbiz, and when you retire, the media would start giving tributes, highlighting one’s previous achievements, or, for a more recent example, Michael Schumacher, where the papers are all saying that no one will be ever to complete his amazing feat.

    Once upon a time, I would check the mrbrownshow.com or miyagi.sg for podcasts, seeking for a laugh or two especially after a long school day. However, if you take time off to listen to the newer podcasts with Ruby and sometimes Imran, you’d notice that they are not as funny. In fact, some of the jokes can be rather lame at times. Maybe they need time to gel.

    But all the same, I will continue listening to the mrbrown show, and I wish you success in your future targets. I still harbour hope that you might one day return to the mrbrown show once you are satisfied doing your own stuff, and once again be part of the formidable team that you were once part of.

    I wrote to Mr Brown la, could not let him get away with such a poor edition of the mrbrownshow.
    Without you, it may look ok, but with Imran, I will definitely switch off the podcast after 1 min.
    Very lame.
    Even Mr Brown sounds like he knows it. At the end of that podcast, he “signed off” or “sighed off”.

    Again, thanks for your kind comments.

    As for the mrbrown show in its current incarnation, I reckon it’ll do great. They’ve got a great team on board, and Imran’s an experienced writer with a couple of years of television work under his belt.

    I’m sure if you gave them a bit of time to gel, they’ll be chugging along just fine.

    We’ve all had “lau-sai” shows, and while it’s a good thing you only remember the non-lau-sai ones I’ve been involved with, I can vouch that the new team will have a string of hits. Not every show can be a gem.

    Hi Miyagi,
    I’ve always been a lurker and now that I’ve heard the podcast on RoboBeng…

    I have to really admit that I’m feeling really sad cause I won’t be hearing this voice of yours again.
    As what other have mentioned, you made people laugh till they fell over chairs, and laugh uncontrollably on the MRT.

    I don’t usually feel so emotional over such issues, but this is one time where i sincerely feel so.

    Hi Pals and Miyagi,

    I noticed that I’ve been turning off MB podcast midway a couple of times. It just lose the “spark”. Sometimes it is plain crude. There is no wit and humour at all.

    I start to suspect Miyagi is the spark behind the previous successful podcast.

    I’ve been listening to your podcasts with mr brown, and i guess i’ve probably heard all of them. But it was only yesterday that i realised you’d not appeared on the mrbrownshow for a loooong time.
    Anyway, since you’ve made ur decision to “move on” I wish you the best, but if anything, can i request that you do one last zhng my car, (at least so you get ur car back) LOL

    hihi… have been listening to mr brown shows for a while… but the recent mr brown shows (without mr miyagi) aren’t as funny anymore…

    sounds a bit slow but i had initially thought that mr miyagi was away on reservist or something like that that’s why we didn’t get to hear him around. it’s a bit sad that mr miyagi has to leave but then again, people have to move on…

    mr miyagi, you’ll be sorely missed!! all the best in your future plans!! hope you’ll be able to work with mr brown on other projects! 😉

    “We are one

    February 19th, 2006 by Mr Miyagi

    Picture 11.pngFunny how the Channel Newsasia text version of the interview manages to mash up quotes from mr brown and myself, then attribute them only to me. (Yes, we are doing a lot of things together, but we’re just friends, ok? Not even a Brokeback Hill here.)

    We also spoke about podcasting and how much fun we’re having with it, so they put that into another text article on their site.

    Not that anyone’s interested in this matter right now, now that there’s that Nanyang Polytechnic Sex Scandal thing going on. Blardy hell, now no-one will download our podcasts!

    For me, I think mr brown is too stressed, tats why the show didn’t sound too good. To churn out fresh ideas and new podcast to muse people like us every day is not easy. I think he should try alternate day instead. And I also feel that this whole blog thing, beside jokes is also about friends, gatherings, TKSS; talk cock sing song. And I love the element of surprises every time the new show is on. Every time have to guess who’s behind the voice. And those bar leh, bar leh NGs, laughters and comments! FRIENDS, true friends something quite hard to find nowadays. I am drawn by this more than any of the above! Jokes can be heard everywhere but to leave behind a deep personal impression, to me is that friendship thing. I used to love the shows, later I found out that they have interviews, talks, I began to listen carefully to these too, personal mah! That why “Reservist Talk” is one of my favoriteand this one too “www.mrbrown.com/blog/2005/04/browncast_prima.html”. I think also, cannot sound too commercialize lor. Just my two cents.

    Mr Miyagi a.k.a Benjamin Lee (Left) announced that he has left Mr. Brown Show, a popular podcast in Singapore. The reason is he wanted to try other things.

    Mr Miyagi stayed to host Mr. Brown Show for almost a year (or..?), especially “Zhng My Car”…

    It’s time for you to move on, as mrbrownshow is abit too commercial nowadays, no more the the pure funny podcast, but abit too artificial.

    Moreover, it should be called mrbrown_and_mrmiyagi_show instead.

    mr miyagi,

    thanks for the jokes and fun from the MB show.

    for the past few(quite many actually) podcasts, i found that they have been very lame and i found myself not even laughing once after the podcasts have ended.

    Well, after reading about your absence, I can put 2 and 2 together.

    sigh… the stress of having a podcast everyday due to sponsors and the absence of mr miyagi has resulted in the worst podcasts since its creation.

    good luck miyagi 🙂

    I think for the good of all. We should all stop speculating and commenting. Please let the two be. If they are friends, they are friends and look and the new site, if they’ve really fallen out do they still reference each others? If there were any arguments, help them to patch and not to drift further. They are all grown up, not children and I can sense in them a certain kind of bonding. The last podcast, I believe Robo-Beng is very much Mr Brown’s way of showing appreciations. Do you know that Mr Brown used name Mr Miyagi as Robot and the Silencer? “http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2005/06/skypecast_inter.html”
    And they should cherish it and I believe in good time, they will be fine. And you are giving ST lines to quote. That’s not very nice. Be a peacemaker lah!
