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 officially letting go of our hater pasts and entering our healing era! In this episode, we’re getting out of the city, touching some grass, and figuring out what berhealing actually means.

From our go-to ways to unwind to the things that (barely) keep us sane, we’re diving deep into how we rest, recover, and recharge.

Special thanks to MameeChef, Norreen, and Ceddy for joining us on what’s basically our mini mukbang.
