Ever found yourself seconds away from snapping at a stranger, but managed to keep it together (barely)? In this episode, we talk about emotional regulation — what it means, why it’s hard, and how it can save your sanity in a world full of power-tripping receptionists.

We also dive into the sudden changes in Panatang Makabayan, weird AI voices at Burger King, and a wild Malibag entry involving a priest. It’s a ride through patience, perspective, and the occasional “I’m sorry po."

In this episode, we rant about how accountability feels impossible in the Philippines, why everything here seems designed to make life harder, and what that says about our system.

What do you do when you accidentally let one rip in front of someone you barely know? Do you own up to it, or just pretend nothing happened? In this episode, we take a break from politics (don’t worry, we’ll be back next week!) to talk about fart etiquette, burps at the dinner table, and why “performative males” might just be the new douchebags. We also go on a nostalgia trip with 2000s music videos, rant about Tim Cook removing the AUX jack, and debate whether wired earphones and tote bags make you a poser or just practical.

Paano kung yung bilyones na dapat pang-flood control projects, biglang naging casino chips? In this episode, we spill the tea on the ghost projects that are being investigated in senate and congress — complete with kickbacks, fake receipts, and the so-called “BGC Boys”...

We talk about:

• Kickbacks na parang standard operating procedure na
• Paano nagiging fake projects ang flood walls at canals
• ₱2 billion (!!) na nilaro sa casinos gamit ang pera ng bayan
• Mga senador at congressmen na nadadawit sa issue
• And the bigger question: paano tayo makaka-move forward kung lagi tayong stuck sa “lesser evil” politics?

Bonus: usapang Louis Vuitton shirts at Rolex na suot ng mga district engineers na supposedly ₱70k/month lang ang sahod. Kasi bakit hindi, ‘di ba??

What happens when flood control budget meant to protect lives ends up funding luxury bags, Paris apartments, and 40-car garages? In this episode, we dive into the outrage over nepo babies, contractors, and political clans flaunting their wealth online while ordinary Filipinos are left underwater. We talk about kickbacks, campaign donations, social media receipts, and why the anger is valid — but should also go beyond dragging people on TikTok.
