Sugarhouse Podcast

Third time's the charm. In this episode, Rio and Neil welcome back their dear friend, Kyla! This time, they ask themselves a question we all ask ourselves at some point: "Okay ra ba tanan o nag in-OA ra ko?" This leads them to an honest discussion on dissatisfaction and inaction, seeking validation, naysayers, and trying to be better and feeling bad when you fall short.

In this episode, Rio and Neil risk their friendship to wage a civil war against each other over raisins! Later, they put aside their differences as they read through r/DoesAnybodyElse threads.

On their 10th episode, Rio and Neil are hooking up with their lovely sponsor, Acyl of @serialknitterph! For anyone thinking about starting a small business, Acyl's story about hustling at an early age and turning her crocheting hobby into a thriving online store is worth the listen. 

Later, Acyl shares her answer to a very important question: "Unsa man gyud na ang self-love?" During this discussion, they dive into social media and the cult of self-love, and also ask themselves if it's narcissistic to love yourself. SPOILER ALERT: They don't know, and they don't have any answers⁠—just more questions.

DISCLAIMER: Rio, Neil, and Acyl aren't experts on this topic but they hope that these conversations could help someone answer this question for themselves.

In this episode, Rio and Neil are coping with the loss of their beloved uncle. As they fill you in on the current situation at the Sugarhouse compound, they have a very raw conversation about dealing with grief and other topics.

Even though this episode is all over the place, Rio and Neil acknowledge that death is a very sensitive topic. Everyone has their own way of coping and it just so happens that they find catharsis through laughter. To misquote Daniel Sloss, "Humor brings out the humanity in grief."
