Aba, Bes, salamat naman at nanjan ka pa pala! 

So ikaw pala ang nag-adjust? 

Kuta-kutakot na explanation ang ginawa namen sa kiki na ito kung bakit AWOL at nowhere-to-be-heard kami for the past 3 months. Thank you for understanding, Bes. 

Na-miss ka din namin!

AND NOW A WARNING. This project contains mature and sensitive themes such as depression, death, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Two queer Filipinos walk into a bar to talk about death. Choz, hindi ito start of a joke, Bes – it's a relaxed but intimate conversation about watching our parents fade, losing siblings too soon, and how growing up in a culture that whispers about death dictates how we face it.

We face our complex relationship with mortality, especially as people who once didn't want to live. Keber sa awkward silences, Bes! This is not forced optimism or toxic positivity - we're just being honest about how we're coming to terms with the impending death of a loved one in the hopes of revealing what happens when we finally say the unsayable.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING. 

We listen and we don't judge!

Engrandeng salubong sa 2025 via a candid kiki with Clara and Mystic as they pull back the curtain on one of Manila's most misunderstood communities - female sex workers. Against the backdrop of Asia's largest Catholic nation, ang bago nating Bessies share raw, honest stories that challenge stereotypes and expose the deep-rooted double standards facing people who make sexual fantasies come true - for a price.  

Bes, we hope this kiki invites you to set aside preconceptions about the world's oldest profession and instead explore what happens when we choose understanding over judgment.

In our 3rd season, our little poddy continues its fearless tradition of bringing taboo Pinoy conversations to light - serving them up with equal parts courage, compassion, and unfiltered realness! Pasok 2025!

Check out Clara's website here.
Check out Mystic's website here.

Please consider giving us a follow and a 5-star rating, Bes.

Himala! Walang MATURE CONTENT WARNING for chudey? 

Instead, isang warning that our Bessies have been temporarily replaced! This holiday special features another take-over to break down the most complex conversation in queer identity: What exactly is the difference between sex, expression, attraction, and identity?

Feeling mo ba perfect mo na 'to, Bes? The Genderbread Person helped us understand and explain these terms to others. Laking tulong, promise!

Bring your curiosity, leave your assumptions at the door. This is not your typical holiday kiki!

(Kaya pala walang mature content warning, na-hijack pala ang episode!)

Trigger Warning: This project contains mature and sensitive themes such as depression and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Anu-ano kayang issues ang pumasok sa ating Top controversial kikis? Sumawsaw ulit ang mga Bessies sa most talked-about topics shaking up the queer cultural landscape. From fur baby drama to the uproar over an X-rated children's movie, we tackle the issues that spark conversations and healthy debate. Hindi din namin pinalagpas ang ayaw mamatay-matay na issues - the Olympic-sized complexities of family dynamics at ang napakagulong stances in today's political climate.

And of course, we again highlight the importance of mental health as we share our own mental health struggles dahil September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month!

As regular Pinoys just sharing our opinions, we invite you to join the kiki dahil every voice matters, and sometimes, a little kiki is just what we need to get you through the day!

MATURE CONTENT WARNING.

We sashay into the juicy world of fears and anxieties of queers. It seems family and societal acceptance are still things that keep us up at night (spoiler: hindi ka  nag-iisa, Bes). Being outed when you're not ready? Financial instability? Plus may umamin sa mga Bessies na sila ay previous victim of assault!

So we dish out our fears through relatable stories, serve up some much-needed real talk, and sprinkle a bit of fierceness into how we try to overcome our sources of worry and angst.

It's time to turn fears into fierceness, Bes! Enjoy this refreshing break from our recent sexcapades! Hungover pa kami from PRIDE because Pride never ends!
