This is a much more enjoyable program to listen to than Wong Hei et al's program so I'm going to paraphrase this post first rather than Wong Hei's.

- hosts: Spencer Leung (梁思浩), 陳彥行、Jacqueline Chong (莊思敏), Ben張啟樂

Main host Spencer opens the show introducing himself and his co-hosts. Ms. Chan says cryptically that actually she and Xiao Ma Ge (Steven) have had a past relationship.

salient points
Talk about why he turned from singer to actor.  He was planning to quit and had even called up his ex-employee to get back his job.  And then Catherine and Tim Gor called him to audition for DOMD1998

- talk about how Catherine Tsang made him audition for Domd1998. There were many people auditioning for the role including Benny Chan. They all took turns auditioning for Emperor Hong Hei and Wai siu bo.

- What? Even tried for Wai Siu Bo,  come one, no way ba.  At the time, Steven felt he wouldn't be able to do it (cos' he was so green then) but now of course no problem.  When he looked at the playback, so cringe-worthy, so no way would he be picked.

 - To his dismay soon after his audition Tsang called him up to tell him that Tim Gor had picked him for the role. He came up with all kinds of excuses to get out of it but Catherine was someone you can get pass once her mind is made up, so with much trepidation he, like a good boy, called in for work. And to make it worse it was his first ancient tv series and just his luck a Qing dynasty at that. So the makeover crew not only shaved his head bald but also shaved off much of his eyebrows. lol! And voila, came up with a completely different eyebrow shape that he thought made him look so weird. And the make up artist worked on his whole face like making his already tall nose to look taller. Apparently, it was quite a difficult transition for Steven to go from a singer to a Qing dynasty actor.  However, Catherine and Tim gor were right, that series was the starting point of his acting career, and onto being tvb first line actor.

Talk on indebtedness and gratitude
Spencer: But what I want to say is that based on my knowing them all these years, you were right to trust them. I've said this many times already, if one day just these three words, Tsang lai Zan, asks me to return to tvb to shoot a series, I will return, free of charge.

female voice: Zan jie, you remember that. Don't pay Spencer.

Spencer: Because she is yan si (benefactor) a human debt owe must be paid. So sentiment can't be priced. So both Catherine and Tim gor have this sentiment to call on me to do things for them.  Just shoot one series only free of charge.

Steven: Right now I'm negotiating the contract with Catherine (spencer interrupts: You can trust her) Well, what I want to say is to tell her is that Spencer won't ask for payment.

Spencer: She knows.

Steven:  Oh, really?

Spencer: I've said many times.

female: should let him shoot a 100 over episode show

Steven: This is truth -- Catherine, Tim gor, and another one -- Uncle Choi to me are my tvb benefactor -- the biggest being Catherine.  also need to thank tvb for developing me.

Spencer: So when you see Catherine, tell her that I'll shoot a series for free -- just one. The most difficult debt to repay is yan ching zai -- individual indebtedness, and if you can repay, then you'll do it.
