You Might Wanna Sit Down For This

Shoutout to LEGO for being a part of this episode! LEGO sent us some lovely sets to build with the team, and we realized we couldn't remember the last time we intentionally set some time to enjoy a hobby.Watch as we spiral through the true concept of a hobby, share some nostalgic childhood throwbacks, and think about why we don't have hobbies now. You Might Wanna Sit Down For This.

If you were here for our episode on studying abroad in the UK- we’ve got a continuation of it!

Loro is back from the UK and he’s here to share how much he’s missed home! To celebrate this Merdeka season, we talk about everything that makes us truly Malaysian, and what we love about Malaysia while attempting to avoid the obvious answer (food). Spoiler: we fail.

Wishing everyone a Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Three comedian friends walk into a room. Guess who came out crying first, and why is it Jenhan?Throwback to this March, when Ming Yue travelled to Australia alongside comedians Dr Jason Leong and Kuah Jenhan. Today, they recount the memories shared between the three, ranging from silly shenanigans to passionate heated arguments… you might wanna sit down for this.

Someone thought it would be a great idea to shoot a podcast recapping all of the things we did while we were in Singapore last month.. at almost 12AM on the last day.

From sipping and spilling at Temasek Poly and Rumifolks, to eating food and falling sick, this is the latest the team has ever recorded a podcast and it shows. Like really really. You might wanna sit down for this.

Whether you’re an extrovert, an introvert, or you just hate talking to people, you can’t avoid social situations.

This week, we have Aiken from sunny Singapore joining us on the couch to talk about navigating ALL kinds of social settings: work events, weddings, and saying hi to your favourite influencer.

Tune in to our most awkward interactions, deep-diving into Ming Yue’s introversion, and unpacking Aiken’s (nonexistent) love life.

Don’t shy shy… you might wanna sit down for this.

We started a haters circle, and we saved you a seat.

This week, we have Rizal Van Geyzel and Keren Bala Devan on the couch with us to take turns defending some things that we love to hate. We’re talking about fake people, comedy hecklers, racists, and even old drivers???

Unfortunately, NOBODY is safe.Tune in to see if we’re being petty or if our hate is valid. You Might Wanna Sit Down For This.

The boys are back on the couch and NOTHING is off-limits.

Strap yourself in for some men therapy. Equal parts hilarious and uncomfortably real, this is a boys-only chat that’s really for everyone (especially if you’ve ever wondered why men don’t talk OR how to get them to start).

Tune in to see if we answered your question from our community poll! Trust us, you might wanna sit down for this.

After his breakout hit It’s You went viral around the world, Singaporean artist Sezairi became one of Southeast Asia’s most recognizable voices.

In this episode, Sezairi sits down with Ming Yue for an honest and reflective conversation about his journey as an artist- from winning Singapore Idol to navigating the pressures and opportunities that came with overnight internet fame. 

Whether you discovered him through It’s You or have followed his music for years, this conversation offers a closer look at the artist behind the songs and the journey that shaped him!

Adult money sounded A LOT cooler when we were kids?

Turns out it mostly goes to insurance, impulsive makeup purchases, Pokémon cards, and lots of emotional damage. In this episode, we unpack our first paychecks, childhood money trauma, and the deeply Malaysian experience of saying “I’m just looking only” before spending on Japanese knives we don’t need.

Watch the full episode to see how we used our adult money to heal our inner child.If you love the furniture on our new set, you can shop on ruma:

You can find their outlets across Malaysia, including Petaling Jaya, Johor Bahru, Nilai, Penang, Shah Alam, and Kuantan.

We surprised Ming Han with his dream podcast setup for his birthday! We talked about how we planned this surprise, our birthday traditions at The Takeaway Table and the whimsy of embracing birthdays as we get older.

When we were younger, we'd always imagined what it was like to be an adult. Now that we're adults, how much of those expectations were true? We discuss having imaginary friends, childhood dreams and things that made us realized we've stepped into adulthood.

Are we easy to forgive, or is there a dark spirit still festering in our hearts?In this episode, we talk about the people who’ve wronged us, the grudges we swear we’ve moved on from, and the arguments we keep winning in the shower. Is there a “correct” way to react when someone hurts you? And when does being understanding turn into being dumb?It’s all here: the resentment, the rage, and the petty little thoughts we usually keep to ourselves.#youmightwannasitdownforthispodcast Follow The Takeaway Table!https://www.instagram.com/thetakeawaytable/ Join our Community Discord Server!https://discord.gg/thetakeawaytable

Is love still about feelings… or are we all just doing cost-benefit analysis now? How transactional is modern dating now? Are we all secretly materialists? And is it ever valid to treat someone like a “project” and try to upgrade them?

We know we sound old, but hear us out… We’e get painfully honest about our value in the dating market, the unrealistic expectations we carry, and what we actually bring to the table.

 You might wanna sit down to find out.

Forget resolutions. Forget personal growth. We’re fast-forwarding straight into the end of the world and figuring out how we’d actually survive when society collapses.

From eating each other, to starting cults and turning into Geishas. Here’s who survives, who won’t make it to Day 3, and who somehow makes it everyone else’s problem.

Health scares. We all think they won’t happen to us… until they do.

This week, we’re opening up about the most unhinged (and terrifying) things we’ve gone through with our health. From losing organs overseas to ignoring symptoms until it was almost too late.

In partnership with @fwd.malaysia, we’re talking about how it really feels to deal with sudden health scares, critical illness, and the price you pay - physically and financially - when you keep saying “I’ll deal with it later.”

From now until 31 December 2025, customers who purchase FWD CI Intense Shield will stand a chance to win one of ten 0.1g yellow gold wafers from FWD Insurance. Contact FWD Insurance's Wealth Advisor today and mention the code TTFWD when you sign up!

Also featuring a first look at Mingyue’s fanboy moment. Put on your kacamata, you might wanna sit down for this one.

On this episode, Hirzi spends a full hour flaming Jenhan. And somehow, we still managed to talk about mortality.From the joys of gout to the creeping anxiety of caring for aging parents, and trading your quarter-life crisis for a mid-life one, we're diving into what it really feels like to be pushing 40.

What happens when the Red Flags guy, the Sip & Spill/Covid Morning guy, the Vitagen guy, and that viral fat song comedian walk onto a podcast set?

We’re unpacking what it really means to go viral — who’s selling out, who’s holding on for dear life, and who’s slowly disappearing into the gaping chasm of irrelevancy. At what point does attention-seeking become something darker? And is it still worth it when the likes stop coming in?This is one episode you definitely wanna be sat for.

Who got pummelled the most? Why isn’t Ming Li in TheMingThing? And the question everyone’s been dying to ask — are Ming Han and Ming Yue actually related, or just banking off the same name?

It’s chaos, childhood beef, and trauma bonding — you might wanna sit down for this.

This week, three married people stage a soft intervention on our proudly single friend — who’s fully ready to skip dating and check herself straight into an old folks home. We’re unpacking whether people actually wait to marry the right person, or just whoever’s conveniently there, and stirring the pot to find out if married folks secretly miss being single. And if someone hot and emotionally stable wanted to wife you up… would you still be anti-marriage?

It’s not a debate. It’s not a roast. It’s a gentle bullying session in the name of love — and if you’ve ever questioned your relationship status (or lack of one), you might wanna sit down for this.#youmightwannasitdownforthispodcast Follow The Takeaway Table!https://www.instagram.com/thetakeawaytable/ Join our Community Discord Server!https://discord.gg/thetakeawaytable―CHAPTERS

This week, we’re calling out everyone still holding on to their highschool glory days.

Did we peak too early? Would we actually go back? Or are we just bitter because we were the weird ones in school? From shadowing the popular kids to the curse of being hot too young — we’re airing it all out. If any of this feels a little too real… you might wanna sit down for this.

In this very patriotic episode, we’re repping our home states and going head-to-head to settle once and for all: which Malaysian state reigns supreme? Is PJ just overpriced cafes and traffic? Does Sabah actually have things to do? Should Penang drivers even be allowed on the road?

Sai joins us for this very serious debate — featuring Hilux kids, fake humble PJ folks, and Penangites who think their ‘prawn mee’ is God’s gift. No state is safe.

We’re back, b*tches. If you’re curious about what happened to Table Talk, then You Might Wanna Sit Down For This Podcast. We’re taking this “new year, new me” agenda seriously, and sitting down to talk about our “must-buys” in 2024 with Caleb and Graeme. Don’t ask too much, sit down first.

As state elections draw near, we welcome YB Syed Saddiq back to the table.

Tune in to catch up with YB Syed Saddiq and check in on how much things have changed since the last time he sat with us. Today’s takeaway involves debate about the upcoming elections, Twitter wars on politics and discussions about privilege and ongoing progress in Malaysia. You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

Follow YB Syed Saddiq here: https://www.instagram.com/syedsaddiq/

We’re back for a very, very, VERY IMPORTANT PSA. If you didn’t already know it, both hosts, Mingyue and Minghan grew up with asthma - which is frankly why we said YES to understanding more about asthma management with Dr Helmy, a consultant lung specialist. According to Asthma Malaysia, approximately 2 million people in Malaysia suffer from asthma where 90% of them are uncontrolled cases. It doesn’t matter if you’re diagnosed with asthma or not, it’s more than important to be aware about the correct asthma management methods! If you suffer from asthma, try out the Reliever Reliance Test here: https://mysihatpal.com.my/breathe-better/

Yeap, you read that title right. In this episode of Table Talk, we sit down with OG content creator, Hirzi, to talk about content creating in the new era. From discussing algorithms, TikTok and short-form content to understanding more about Singaporean vs Malaysian content creators, active resting and future plans - we’re throwing it back a little with the boys in our latest episode.

You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

What makes a man feel confident? Some say it’s how they dress, others say they couldn’t care less, but bro - self grooming needs to be the talk of the year. For men, we think that starts from their HAIR.

In this week’s episode of Table Talk, we’ve got Wilson Lee, founder of Venusde, Beaute Library, Curvena and more beauty brands to discuss about men vs confidence.

You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

TW: Death, murder, and graphic descriptions.

It’s all over the news, it’s all over your feeds, and just like you are, we’re just as shell-shocked and disheartened by the ongoing murder case.   

The recent death of Hong Kong socialite, Abby Choi, took the news by storm last week, and we’re here to dive into the ongoing case timeline and offer up some of our own theories on the murder motives.

You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.   Disclaimer: We are not an official news portal, all information are taken from news resources online.

Ming Han is BACK and the boys are ready for another round of hot takes on the latest local news. This week, we react to news of GVF 2023, students throwing MAD fits in schools and polices pulling the chillest raid we’ve ever seen - we’re all over the place, but hey, it’s local news. You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

Can you really be friends with the opposite gender? Do platonic friendships exist? Yes….but also not really.   Join us as we discuss and share our thoughts about it in the latest episode of Table Talk.   You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

Something’s in the air and it isn’t just love. Tune in to the latest episode of Table Talk as we discuss about the new ‘Quiet Ride’ feature on Grab, Valentine’s Day “traditions”, and the new changes our Minister of Transport have introduced in the last week. You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

You’ve probably heard of it by now - BONDEE seems to be the first ‘IT’ thing of 2023. Why did it blow up? Is it just a scam? We then revisited our SPM does and debated whether we could ace the exams in present time. And we finish off with Song Joong Ki’s announcement on his marriage and pregnancy but did you guys know he’s the King of Soft Launching?

You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai - in that exact order. Table Talk is BACK with new weekly news debates and discussions about everything happening on your busy feeds. (Kopitiam uncle style) 

This week, we have our eyes on: confusing festive messages, WILD WILD WIIILLLD achievements happening in our local creators scene, and the mind-boggling Merdeka 118 tower trespassers that have taken our local news by storm. 

You say, I say, it’s time for the Takeaway.

As 2022 comes to a close, we sit down to reflect on the highs and lows of the year!
