These Drunken Midnights

Guia (OMG! Komiks!!!, Heartcrafted Creations) and Gian the Bearded Busker (NAT Juan) drop by as the trio discusses the critically-acclaimed NBC sitcom "The Good Place" while keeping themselves censored to the Maximum Derek level (or at least, they tried).

These Drunken Midnights aren't supposed to be back until later in the month, but here we go in an unplanned yet almost timely episode. SlickMaster, Ria, ShockRizal/Jason, and Carlos of FM1 team up to discuss an overhyped, over-commercialized, feeling holiday called Valentine's Day. 

Dax Balmeo returns to the podcast and bares more of his stories as a touring musician. Jon Tamayo of The Strange Creatures joins us and discusses his share of tales in the gig circuit. Plus, it's an 'anything goes' show from games, binge-watching worthy shows, and some problems about generation gap and cancel culture. Originally recorded last July 2020.

In the last of our 2-part episode, RJ Pineda talks about moving on from being a keyboard guy into a solo act as Riot Logic. Plus, he also talks about having cool parents, bouncing back from hard times, random conversations with people, and a whole lot more.

Trian Lauang — or Trian Dela Torre, in the eyes of wrestling smarks — isn't just an inch-for-inch guy for nothing. He's wearing more hats than any other person beyond his size (including his brief stint as a stand-up comedian and profession as an attorney at law) and still managed to drink over tons of conversations night in and night out.  It may not be a Bukkake Night in 2020, but wasakan is sti...

Dax Balmeo shares his various tales of geeking out, the good old times of working at Eastwood and Ortigas, living in two countries, and the awesome road trips around Bulacan.  

RJ Pineda hangs around and talks a lot of smack during the long road to his music career, from being a session player to getting his breaks by being part of The Brat Pack and playing the pioneer keyboard guy for Apartel. But that's not all, because this is just the first half of our 2-part conversation with the main man behind Riot Logic! 

SlickMaster talks to Micah Pinto of Para Sa Sining (For The Arts) about the art of collaboration among different art forms, as well as the life and times of this NGO, and their project Home Not Alone. Originally recorded on 13 August 2020.

Kids, let me tell you a story on how this episode happened out of nowhere. Rona of Odd Viny Records suddenly suited up and talked her *biased* love for How I Met Your Mother. What kind of nerve, huh?

We simply can't get enough of The Big Bang Theory, and we don't mean "bazinga" there. Jany (The Bed Bites) returns, plus Angela (Love, Teacher Angel) and Ciara hang around as the four-person crew talked more of this geeky (and a bit of romantic) sitcom that rocked the 2010s. 

It was supposed to be a long-distance call but went a bit shorter than usual (screw you, COVID). Mark De Leon, the frontman of the band Uppercase, talks about the life and times of being a musician in two places: Toronto and Manila, as well as the formation of his band, and why he still prefers CDs.

It seems that the four of us can't get enough of FRIENDS. SlickMaster, Veronica, Imee, and Ivan are back to discuss more of this iconic show. Need the description say anything more?

SlickMaster invites "The Social Media Sinister" Ken Warren as he talks about his humble beginnings as one of the OGs performing for PWR (Philippine Wrestling Revolution). Ivan of Dugout Philippines also joins in as the trio discuss The Undertaker's retirement. No wonder this has been the longest episode so far.

SlickMaster talks to Jake De Leon involving nothing but wrestling, musicals, battling anxiety attacks, his show on IGTV, and a bit of gaming. (Originally recorded in April 2020.)

SlickMaster is joined together with Veronica Mikers Litton (a.k.a. Mike Shannon of Manila Wrestling Federation), Imee of AgingMillenial. NET (and also the front-woman of 8 Moons of Jupiter), and Ivan of Dugout Philippines, to discuss one of the all-time popular -- and sometimes, controversial -- sitcoms of the 20th century... FRIENDS.

Tito Robot Jaworski is in the house! Japo Anareta of Tanya Markova talks about going around the different worlds of yesterday and today's live music scene, as well as being part of several local bands and performing for the legendary Paul Simpson, and various food trip experiences here and abroad. (DISCLAIMER: Bad audio in some portions of the interview.)

Here's an hour-long talk with one of the good guys of the live music scene, JLE Music. 

The first episode of Sitcom Wars is on, and SlickMaster, together with Glenn Pernes plus Ja Ayong and Jany Ligutan of The Bed Bites, discuss their fandom insights about The Big Bang Theory. Talk about 'unraveling the mystery' of one of the most popular and longest-running wackiest shows in recent memory!

After so many trials and errors in over six weeks, someone finally managed to finish putting up a podcast episode. Whew! SlickMaster and Ivan from Dugout Philippines discuss their not-so-hot takes on The Last Dance, a documentary series about Chicago Bulls' last championship run 22 years ago.
