Listen Up is a talk show on You Tube that is  hosted by Brandon Ho. Listen up is relevant to the topic of MEMORE because it talks about topics that are relevant to life.

Brandon won a competition conducted by one of the most successful TV stations in Malaysia, 8TV.

8TV organised the competition in order to identify talents who will be used by them as emcees on programs of 8TV.

Brandon was a brilliant student who came from a poor family. He started working part-time in order to contribute to the finances of his family. Imagine how he felt when he had to serve food to his school mates when they came to eat at his father's hawker stall. Also when they see him washing dirty dishes.

In another video Brandon was asked to share more about his background. He talked of how his family of 6 persons Including his grandparents have to share 3 servings of food. He also spoke of how sometimes they have to do without electricity because they could not pay the electricity bill.

He won scholarships that enabled him to attend a private university, the prestigious Taylor's university from Australia that opened a branch campus in Malaysia.

Even though he had a scholarship, he showed great drive and deligience and worked part time as did his university degree.

He was active in extra curricular activities during his time at university. Being handsome and having a bubbly personality, he was popular in university.

Having won the competition by 8TV, he also worked as an emcee for 8TV. He also acted in short movies posted on You Tube.

During the MCO (Movement Control Order) period because of the Covid pandemic, he started the talk show, Listen Up.

Because of the restrictions of Meeting up and working in offices being disallowed by the MCO, it is natural that the first 2 episodes featured Brandon with his wife, Phoebe.

The topic of these 2 episodes is Boy Girl Relationships which is often shortened to BGR.

Having healthy BGR is important and many people are looking for answers to what they encounter in their BGR 

In episode 1 of Listen Up, Brandon and Phoebe talked about themselves and their relationship starting from how they first met and the things they went through.

Brandon and Phoebe are quite different. Brandon came from a poor family and was simple, do not bother about proper dressing, wearing shorts and slippers.

Phoebe on the other hand was as  described by Brandon an "Uptown Girl" who took pains to dress properly. 

Although Brandon was a popular person, he was insecure and lacked the confidence to have a serious relationship with classy girls like Phoebe.

🦋 enjoyed listening to Brandon and Phoebe talk about themselves and their relationship

We can learn from them about BGR and what qualities are important when looking for potential partners.

Watching the above video will show that Brandon is very accommodating to Phoebe. They enjoy friendly Banter showing that his accomodation is not being controlled by Phoebe but that he is happy to make her happy. They are practicing#happy wife happy family
