We had a very fun and hectic time at Cebu ABF last weekend. Aside from it being the launch of our zines, Tiny's chap book, and a lot of merch it was also our first time recording a podcast in the middle of a very crowded event. Felt like we were attending a 1 year old's birthday in Shakey's, sans The Dawn karaoke - claustrophobic, bewildering, and oddly entertaining.

Election results that make you wish the multiverse existed? A re-education secretary focusing on indoctrination? Merely hoping that the apple falls far enough from the tree so it's at least not as bad? It looks like the beginnings of the new dark golden age of Philippine history. Or is it?

Bridges are supposed to "bridge" gaps, right? Well one bridge in particular has widened it - between the riches and the poors! Also Let us dissect why infrastructure has always been a thing for Philippine politicians, those scum-dredging, tax-thieving, bony-eared assfish!

How far would you go for turtles? Would you die for them? These were questions we inadvertently answered during our Dumaguete/Apo Island weekend trip. We savored the many flavors that Dumaguete had to offer, made friends with the locals, pondered our mortality through memorabilia, and braved the stormy sea to swim with these gentle green giants.

Welcome to the Prehistoric political pizza party of one adult's dreams. Complete with a dino-sized roast, sauro-spangled setup, and pints of primordial lager. With guests Bia and John, get ready for the most Diño-studded episode in 65 million years  Gives new meaning to "old as a dinosaur."

From a very rocky erratum-filled start to Orwellian political spirit animals, Bin once again helps the crew out navigating red-hot topics.

This week we imported our dear friend Justine from the olden days, and discussed the much-buried college roots of the podcast: the infamous ACT-UP film org! Also in the ep: pop culture's influence on politics and vice versa, war prices, and insider info on block voting. So get your ass off to virtual-Kamputhaw, mix your favorite college drink, and make sure everyone's of drinking age. We're Acting-Up again!

Anyone who's aggressive-marketing-averse has a had a scam story at some point, and that's the main subject for this episode. We call out overly-committed mall kiosk clerks, conniving linemen, gendered forms of taxation, and those putting premiums on pregnancy. Get savvy as we school you on some of the scam systems we've suffered and survived!

The Geeks have once again invaded the podcast in the guise of "freeing" us from our politics. See them make gaming metaphors of real-life situations and tragedies, and make insane tangents into fictional worlds to avoid the horrors of existence. Don't forget to pause for a pee break!

Start the morning wrong with the gang as we look back on our early morning preps for elementary school and the local morning shows that accompanied our breakfast routines. We also keep up with (Kan)Ye, the Muppets, Jake Zyrus, and downtown Colon's Phil-Chi business practices. Plus some tried and tested Chi-pid tips!
