Telebabad Tapes

Like it or not, there are a lot of statements about love that should be retired. Whether they're not applicable to the time or just plain silly, we really need to unpack and re-examine some of these platitudes. 

Join us as we list down six of them and talk about the icky subject that is love. All these in another fun-filled telebabad session.

Join us for a new Tele Travels episode with Itchyworms singer and drummer Jazz Nicolas!

We stroll down memory lane and reminisce on the peryas of our youths, school fairs, Enchanted Kingdom, and theme parks around the world.

Listen as Cj gushes about her love for corn dogs, as Jazz talks about his love for rollercoaster rides, and as Wincy shares his fascination with wax museums and mirror mazes.

Since we’re all stuck at home and we can’t go to places far, might as well sit back and Tele-Travel with us.

We've only just begun... White lace and promises... Ah... weddings!

We get philosophical and existential in this episode, podpals as we talk about good luck and bad luck. 

Is success in life a matter of hard work or luck? How do you explain Murphy's Law? Should you avoid unlucky people? How should you process your emotions when you get lucky? 

It's a fun and light telebabad session about the fates in our new episode!

"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.

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.  

Settle down on your seats. Let's relate, podpals!

A perfect Lenten season listen!

Love 'em or hate 'em, they're everywhere. Yes, folks, not only have geeks inherited the Earth, they've already taken over it. (Yay or nay?) 

And we're here to discuss the good and the bad of having geeks around. What makes them great company? What's annoying about them? How do you handle toxic geeks on the Internet? How do you become a more dateable geek? 

Find out in this telebabad session as we examine what goes on inside the brain of a geek. (That, and other geek-related sidebars, podpals!)

Money, money, money. We all need it. It's what makes the world go round. But how do you handle it properly? 

We're by no means Wall Street wizards, but in this episode, we share with you the little wisdom we know about it.

Michael Jackson. JK Rowling. Johnny Depp. Talented artists we all look up to. But oh no, there's some controversies surrounding them--predatory behaviors, transphobic beliefs, incidents of domestic abuse. What to do? Do we still continue to support their art? Do we still see them as our idols? It's a rather perplexing topic, folks, so we roped in our friend Tats Paman to join us in this rather heady conversation! Come join us in this telebabad session.

Oh no, burnout. The migraines. The loss of will to live. The tired feeling. 

We've all experienced it at some point in our lives. 

Sit down, unwind and listen as we discuss the causes and the symptoms of this terrible condition. 

We also talk about other related topics such as achievement porn, listening to your body, and why we hate bucketlists. It's quite a cathartic telebabad session, podpals!

The suburbs! Topiaries! Abandoned cookie factories! In our 39th episode, we sit down to talk about one of our favorite Halloween-adjacent movies--Tim Burton's 1990 Gothic fairy tale, Edward Scissorhands. Join our telebabad session as we dig deeper into the movie's themes. "Lemonade?"

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.

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! Sit back, relax and join in on the conversation.

We talk about the the Filipino Christmas for introverts: the good, the bad and the ugly of everyone's favorite holiday.
