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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

If any of this feels a little too real… you might wanna sit down for this.
