Are these labels still applicable in a time when multiple intelligence applies?
We talk about the problematic aspects of these labels and we even added some more types of smarts we should consider. (Like sex-smart and nature-smart!)
It's a short, breezy, casual telebabad session, folks!

Episode 61: How to Be Funny and Not Be a Jerk with guest Red Ollero
"Woke culture killed comedy." a Hollywood director once sighed.
"It was just a joke! You're so sensitive." We've heard this a million times already.
Is being funny really getting extra difficult now? Or is humor simply evolving?
Do we stop making jokes because we're so scared to offend other people?
Are we all really "just sensitive" ? We explore all these and more with our special guest Red Ollero.

We all have that one friend or family member, right?
Bums are one of the most fascinating people we've come to meet in this life. And in this episode, we go on a deep dive about bums.
What are the signs that someone is a bum? What do they do all day? What goes on inside their heads? Are they lazy, happy-go-lucky, or self-entitled? Or do they have mental health issues?
We invited Tats Paman, who's met many a bum in his life, to talk about this rather taboo subject! Join in on the discussion, podpals.

Bad guys in fiction. Characters on the wrong side of the tracks. What can we say? We're fascinated by them--their motives, their psyches, their methods. And what's great is more and more stories about them are getting made!

Episode 53: Baduy
What's in a word? Baduy, for that matter.
It strikes us that the kids of Gen Z are not too keen on the term anymore. That's why we aging Millennials sit down to discuss everything behind that all too Pinoy word.
Where did the word originate from? What does baduy imply--a lack of class, of fine taste?
Something that reeks of the staid? How does baduy relate to trends? Is it disrespectful to call someone baduy?
Find out as we go all out on everything baduy, podpals!

So you've told yourself you're done with dating. You're happy, you're content, you're ready to be in a relationship with your new jowa.
But are you settling? Oh no. Are you actually better than your partner? What if you're just compromising simply because of there are slim pickings in the market? Yikes much?
In this heady telebabad session, we talk about the art of compromise, power couples, Goldilocks, DJ Alvaro's "Ang Tipo Kong Lalaki" and more sidebars than you can shake a stick at.

Episode 38: New York City with guest Mikey Amistoso
Yes, it’s October and it’s autumn in some parts of the world. That said, we’re most definitely in a New York state of mind, since we miss traveling so much. That said, we invited our good friend and fellow New York enthusiast, Mikey Amistoso (of Ciudad and Hannah+Gabi fame), to chat with us in our second Teletravels Special.
We travel virtually to the Big Apple—the New York City of our memories. Join our marathon session as we discuss everything from Spider-Man, the Ghostbusters, the subway, hotdogs and bagels, rats the size of cats, the M&M Store in Times Square, to how as a Filipino you should behave when in the company of grumpy New Yorkers.
Take an East Coast voyage with the three of us in this pumpkin-spiced telebabad session.
Episode 37: Alone Time
And then there's that thing called Alone Time. Makes you wonder: What's the difference between loneliness and solitude? Is alone time good or bad for mental health? Why do Filipinos place a stigma on people who like spending time by themselves. We answer these questions in this rather laid-back telebabad session, podpals!
