Help! We Started A Podcast!

We spend an awful lot of time looking at life's problems from the same angle, wondering why nothing changes. In this episode, Judge Ryan explores how a simple shift in perspective can completely change the way we understand a difficult situation. From a man dealing with the heartbreak of losing a six-year relationship to workplace disagreements and frustrating elevator waits, we look at what h...

One unread message, three awkward encounters, and suddenly you've convinced yourself that everyone hates you. Tonight, we investigate the greatest conspiracy of all: your own brain. Spoiler alert: your evidence is questionable.

AI can write, compose music, create images, imitate voices, and maybe even become your next romantic partner. As artificial intelligence gets better at pretending to be human, we explore creativity, authenticity, digital deception, and what it really means to be human. Because if everything can be artificial, what exactly makes us real? Also, Ryan might be open to dating a robot. Just saying.

Why does being treated right sometimes feel so unfamiliar? We talk about the strange discomfort of receiving genuine affection, the habit of expecting disappointment, and why consistency can feel suspicious when you're accustomed to uncertainty. Maybe we're so busy preparing ourselves for things to go wrong that we forget to enjoy the things that are actually going right. A conversation ab...

What happens when you combine a couple of drinks, two friends, and questions that probably should've stayed in the group chat? In this first installment, Ryan welcomes Perch back for an inuman session with a twist: The Hot Seat. Ten questions covering life, love, relationships, questionable decisions, old flames, and everything in between. Some answers are funny, some are unexpectedly personal...

Undas is a family reunion with candles, pancit, and relatives who somehow know your entire business. But beneath the cemetery visits and familiar traditions lies a reminder we’d rather avoid: life is temporary, and none of us gets to control how we’ll be remembered. In this November 1 special, we look at the strange ways Filipinos gather around death, the people we only learn to appreciate when th...

We spend so much time looking at life that we forget to actually see it. The people we think we know, the moments we take for granted, and the things happening right in front of us can hold an entirely different meaning when we finally pay attention. This episode is about the strange things we miss while our eyes are wide open—and the moments when we finally see what was there all along.

Remember when a Tamagotchi was a responsibility, Eurodance ruled the speakers, and spending an entire Saturday at the mall counted as having plans? Welcome to the Filipino ’90s, where branded shirts meant everything and going to a disco required preparation worthy of a debut party. Judge Ryan revisits the gadgets, music, fashion, and barkada adventures of a time when we thought we were cool. And s...

Hypocrisy, double standards, and the Olympic-level mental gymnastics we perform to justify our own behavior. Why is confidence attractive in one person but arrogance in another? Why does a man's romantic history earn him a high-five while a woman's earns her a label? And why do our principles suddenly need a terms-and-conditions page when we're the ones breaking them? This episode is a...

We're all connected, constantly online, and somehow still terrible at checking on each other. From friendships that quietly fade into social media surveillance to messages that get seen but never answered, Judge Ryan talks about adult loneliness, the awkwardness of reaching out, and learning to take care of yourself without pretending you don't need anybody. Because sometimes, the hardest...

“One day, you’ll become so financially stable that God will use your pockets to bless others.” It’s an inspiring thought, until helping someone else starts competing with your rent, groceries, and electricity bill. This episode explores generosity, financial stability, and the pressure to be there for others even when your own budget is stretched thin. Because you can care about people, lend a han...

We scroll, we compare, and suddenly our own lives don't look so great anymore. In this episode, we talk about the comparison treadmill, the pressure to be further along, and the blessings we overlook while looking at what everyone else has. Sometimes, the problem isn't that we're missing everything. It's that we're too busy looking elsewhere to notice what we already have.

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.”

Sometimes you love your friends. You just don't want to see them. This episode is about social batteries, introversion, exhaustion, small talk, group chats, and the strange adult luxury of wanting everyone to leave you alone. Because sometimes you don't need more people. You need Do Not Disturb.

Some songs sound romantic until you actually listen to what they’re saying. This episode, we take apart the lyrics, the longing, the hope, the what-ifs, and the emotional damage hiding underneath songs we thought we knew. Basically, we’re here to overthink music so you don’t have to.

We had teacher's pets, baon politics, terror teachers, first crushes, classroom drama, and the kid who always asked, “May extra ka?” Looking back, elementary school was basically our first exposure to society—we just didn't know it yet.
