Hello, selamat datang, welcome to Extra Sambal, No Judgement. I am Farhan Ismail and I am recording this at a mamak at one in the morning, so if you hear a plate, that is a real plate. Tonight we discuss a man we all know. The uncle who orders for everyone. You have not sat down, you have not touched the menu, and he has already waved at the waiter and said, bring everything, like a king at a wedding. Nobody stops him. Nobody has ever stopped him. We are going to look at why, and the uncle at the next table has already started arguing with me, so that will be in the episode. Then Tapau Court, where two cousins are fighting over one piece of roti canai. Order the teh tarik. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts!
