#227 ASKING MY EXES IF THEY'RE PROUD OF ME ft. Kuah Jenhan
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.Follow Jenhan on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/kuahjenhan/ Follow Graeme on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/instagraeme_tj/ Check out Like This, Like Dad at:https://ticketmaster.sg/activity/detail/25sg_jenhan CHAPTERS00:20 - Like This, Like Dad02:10 - Fighting for your attention 05:20 - Pretentiously defining social media 09:00 - The woes of being slightly popular 11:00 - The Morning Guy 15:16 - Choose your validation15:55 - Asking our exes to say “I’m proud” 17:39 - Are you actually relevant or just a trend 19:20 - The gaping chasm of irrelevancy 22:30 - Why everyone wants a podcast26:00 - Putting numbers to heart 27:40 - Our fanciest tickleadges 31:00 - Being a flower blooming crack addict35:30 - Making IG pins our personality 38:20 - Dead dad competitions38:55 - There’s a ghost in the audience41:00 - Flaring nostrils at smelly personalities 44:00 - Attention seeking vs. Narcissism 46:20 - The intersection between christian influencers49:00 - The irk of religious influencers 52:40 - Pretending we don’t want attention 55:00 - Motivated by becoming forgotten 57:30 - It’s the climb Graeme hasn’t peaked 1:00:00 - Healthy unrealistic 24/7 spiralling1:06:40 - Staying upping and still coming1:09:18 - Find the circle and fill your hole

#226 BEING RAISED AS GUINEA PIGS
Whoop whoop — it’s a sibling episode! What was it really like growing up with the MingSibs? We’re breaking it all down (and probably oversharing way too much).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.Follow Ming Li on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/ming_png/#youmightwannasitdownforthispodcast CHAPTERS01:30- Starting super dark so contrast 02:20 - Meet the SibMings03:20 - Would we be friends if we weren’t siblings07:00 - Evicting vibes with pregnancy scares10:00 - The family groupchat 11:20 - Pommeling smackdowns and farting in faces16:10 - Getting raised as social experiments 21:00 - Recording the minute we shat 24:30 - Getting whooped in a shopping mall25:40 - Being left on the side of the road 27:00 - Oldest, Middle, Youngest child syndrome 30:15 - Denouncing culture by 1533:57 - Surviving a sharp cantonese family39:00 - A favourite child debate?43:30 - Being an unambitious overachiever 46:00 - Fun facts about each other49:00 - Why isn’t Mingli in TheMingThing?50:55 - Dealing with “famous” brothers 53:43 - Assimilating our sister into guyhood 56:23 - Being an influencer from birth1:00:30 - Tomorrow is the last day on earth

#224 CONVINCING OUR SINGLE FRIEND TO GET MARRIED THIS YEAR
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―CHAPTERS00:36 - Mingyue’s brown phlegm 01:25 - Sleep waking for a sandwich 03:00 - Meet Hampu!!04:45 - Single and emotionally unavailable 09:30 - Is finding “The One” the end? 12:20 - END OF THE WORLD MARRIAGES14:40 - Having no game no rizz no roster 18:18 - Do you miss being single?20:00 - Single people are try-hards23:00 - Marriage pacts with our friends27:40 - Building a roster for each other28:50 - Do hot and emotionally available men exist30:30 - Red Flags is the reason we don’t trust love33:00 - We’re making a green flags show 36:00 - She loves me for my allergy attacks37:00 - Subjecting your wife as a homemaker 38:30 - Finding orphan boyfriends39:40 - JUST DO OPEN RELATIONSHIPS40:50 - Single by choice or no one’s choosing you?41:40 - Forcing a dating show on the office44:00 - Being in love vs. short-lived crush 45:50 - Not saying “I love you” back48:50 - Dating for marriage 53:20 - Really hopings and many dreamings56:40 - Happy single vs sad with someone 57:50 - PIMPING VIVIAN OUT!!!
