Help! We Started A Podcast!

What happens when you stop treating romance like a full-time job? Ryan talks about dating, validation, the need to be chosen, and what we might discover when we finally stop chasing—and start paying attention to the life we're already living.

An “inuman session” without the actual drinking. Ryan and Perch talk about people, beliefs, folklore, and the stories we grew up with—until the conversation inevitably takes a weird turn.

Filipino goodbyes take forever, simple gatherings somehow become reunions, and Filipino parents can turn four words into a full-blown threat. Ryan and Mara talk about the wonderfully chaotic traditions, habits, and family moments that make Filipino life so uniquely Filipino.

She knows he likes her. She knows what he wants. And she also knows that sometimes, the smallest things she does might be enough to keep him hoping. This is what it feels like to care about someone while being painfully aware that you may be giving them just enough mixed signals to make letting go harder.

Sometimes you're not confused. You're just negotiating with an answer you already have. This episode is about the signs we notice, the evidence we explain away, and the uncomfortable moment when your own behavior admits what your mouth refuses to say.

Six songs, several bad decisions, and enough emotional damage to require a dentist. We dissect love, delusion, imagined futures, and the questionable human habit of voluntarily reopening wounds through music. Bring Bactidol.

Sometimes the signs aren't mixed. We just really, really want them to be. A brutally honest look at effort, attraction, chasing, and knowing when you're carrying the whole damn thing.

Some people leave with a goodbye. Others just… stop showing up. In this episode, we talk about the people, conversations, friendships, and almost-relationships that ended without explanations—and why our brains keep trying to finish stories that never got an ending. Because sometimes, closure isn't getting the answer. Sometimes it's finally deciding you can live without one.

Small inconveniences. Big confidence. From line-cutters to professional boundary testers, we examine the everyday Olympics of people who somehow always believe you’re the problem.

In the Philippines, every problem has a possible solution—and that solution is usually somebody’s cousin, officemate, neighbor, or “friend who works there.” We unpack the Filipino superpower of knowing someone who knows someone, from “may kakilala ako” to the legendary “sabihin mo name ko.”
