Ep. 28: Let's talk "Pressure"
There are instances in life that seem to constrain us as to how our lives should and could be dealt. Is it the outside force that liquifies our solidity or merely the inside stress that collapses our resolve? Twas a bright suggestion from a good friend that seemed to milk our thoughts about certain struggles and battles that are either won or lost.

Ep. 27: Heartbreak song...or story?
Who haven't undergone a heartbreak? Why is it that the more we try to outrun it, the more it gets past us? At times, we try to cope up but oftimes we mope down and there's music to that. Everyone has. We all have our own heartbreak to tell, be it through our own language or through another one's chord. Here's to our fair share of milking our own sulkings---you ain't alone.

Ep. 26: Hooked
We all have our little quirks in life that sometimes goes beyond way out of control. How do we deal with some of the irresistible cravings this life has to offer? Can we really overcome this "hard to resist" fixations especially if what's at stake is ourselves? How do we repulse something that merely attracts us in the first place? Do we get a hang of it or does it get a hang of us? Join us delve ourselves into this milky talk of "make or break" habits.

Ep. 25: Baguio tayo, AS A FRIEND?
Almost everyone gets excited when going to a diffrent place or clearing up headspace in a new and fresh environment. Who doesn't love travelling? Of course, everyone does! But is it worth to make this a scaperoute to run off from responsibilites and problems? Or worst, use it as an excuse for hidden agendas concealed in the label of "friendship"? Join us as we drink ourselves on to this milky scoop of mischevious hoops.
Sep 29, 202132:37
Ep. 24: It's okay to NOT be okay--but is it, really?
In this world of biased prejudices, failed dreams, limitless frustrations, broken promises, unachieveable success' and all-consuming griefs, how do we cross the barrier between acceptance and defiance? When do we give ourselves a tap on the back and do a self utterance of "tis okay, everything's gonna be alright" to "it's not okay and it's not alright"?
Oftimes, it's the thin line that's gonna be costly. Join us as we discuss and drink up life's jeers to cheers.

SEASON 2 PILOT Ep. 23: Begin AGAIN!
Transitions are one of life's inevitables and the starting point may seem to be the hardest.

Or maybe a shot of milk slash milktea for now? Sober up with us as we chug ourselves to silky as milky discussions of embarking on to new horizons of this thing called life..

Season Finale Ep. 22: Does FAREWELL really have to be a lonely sound?
It’s been 9 crazy and fun months since J and Z went to SM Hypermarket and grabbed that beer, went straight to the car and said, “fuck it, let’s record that podcast.” In this season finale, we reveal that Z has sadly finally moved countries. What does this mean for the podcast? Who replaces him? We also talk about the biggest farewell episodes of our lives and what we can learn from them.

Ep. 21: Sex and the City of Bacoor (ft. multiple guests)
Sex is a concept that has long existed even before humans stepped on Earth, but it’s also always been considered a taboo subject. In this day and age, the society has finally gotten to a point where people are starting to be more open about conversations regarding it. How really important is it that we bring this meat on the dining table?
Aug 08, 202129:05
Ep. 20: Good morning, Babe. What are your plans today?
And so as i was streaming on some Podcasts, I came across this episode about how men perceive the replies of women. I felt a certain intervention that says we have to make the girls’ POV just so we could kind of clear our names (charot!).
Aug 06, 202137:49
Ep. 19: Smaller and Smaller Circles of F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Is it just us, or this pandemic is kind of slowly damaging the bond between friendly relationships? Do we still try to keep in touch with our barkadas, or are we all starting to resort to cutting people out of our lives?
Jul 21, 202127:46
Ep. 18: Board Exam Jerbaks (Based on True Events)
They say Board Exams are too unpredictable you can never walk into the exam room and just be overly prepared. In my case, not only did I dread answering the questions, mas pinroblema ko pa yung kalam ng sikmura ko! 🥴

(LIVE) Fart 4: Middle Child Syndrome
Different households have different dynamics that steer relationships amongst the members. What happens if you belong to a family wherein you constantly find yourself compelled to strive for attention, just because you are the middle child?
Jul 08, 202133:53
Ep. 17: Panganay vs Bunsong Batang Minamahal
You fight and you make up, and the next thing you know you’re screaming at each other’s faces again, and then you go back to laughing over the same cheesy jokes until you return to quarrelling over the most petty things in the world. The cycle never ends— it’s a love-hate relationship with your kapatid.
Jul 08, 202136:25
Ep. 16: The Subtle Art of Criticizing Constructively
There are pills that are really hard to swallow, but we will never get better if we always refuse to take them. I know, sometimes you just can’t help but roll your eyes when people tell you to do certain things differently, especially if they’re someone you personally just don’t like. But how really important is it to take these things with a pinch of salt, and how do we teach ourselves in turn to give encouraging remarks to others?
Jun 22, 202123:04
Ep. 15: CHEATING: ‘No’ in all forms, or with reservations?
If you say that you have never ever cheated in any form, edi ikaw na ang anak ni bathala na pinaka-banal na nilalang sa balat ng lupa. But seriously, we probably all have done something to get away with something. Whether in school, at work, in a relationship, or in anything else, is it always on you when you resort to cheating? Is there such thing as an “acceptable hoodwink”, and is there even a line to be drawn in a context such as this?
Jun 13, 202144:40
Fart 3: Jojowain ba o to-tropahin si Happy Crush?
We hope everyone agrees: it’s one thing to admire a person, it’s another to actually make a move to pursue them. From getting into platonic relationships to having happy crushes, how and where do we actually draw the line? In this episode, we hear about M, our letter sender, and her Mind Fart about trying to explore this particular boarder of relationships. Grab yo drinks, humans!

Ep. 14: Masarap ang sabaw, but a man's gotta eat laman!
It's the year 3035, the world is on the brink of a catastrophic end, billions of people left starving for resources, and the only way you could survive is if you stick to one meal for the rest of your existence. One day, you wake up and realize that you're left with the biggest decision you have ever faced: Lifetime supply of Sinigang-- but you could only choose between sabaw or laman. Which will you choose? Will you be more practical about it, or will you settle with preference over sustainability?
May 21, 202120:47
Ep. 13: Conforming Gravity by Idina Menzel
Which are you more likely to be identified as, a defiant or a conformist? In this day and age where EVERYONE constantly tells us to do this and that, we somehow can’t help but find ourselves compelled to match up to certain things we’re not even comfortable to begin with. Where and how do we even draw the line?
May 05, 202139:30
Ep. 12: The strength to let go, or lack thereof.
Have you ever had something that you had to hold dear so much you thought it was gonna be yours forever? Be it a valuable tangible thing, an experience, a relationship, or anything you’ve ever possessed, you’ve probably already experienced having to lose something. This time, we hear about J and Z’s own fair share of giving up things in the past. They say it’s a basic part of life, but how do we even find the strength to do it?
May 01, 202139:08
Fart 2: Leaders and Piety
If personal beliefs play a huge factor how leaders govern their territories, does that mean it’s a good thing if a leader is religious? Should we start considering religiousness as a leadership prerequisite? This was honestly a pretty challenging mind fart... we’re just glad we got booze to get through it lol
Apr 28, 202122:44
Ep. 11: Mama, if that’s movin’ up, then I’m MOVING OUT!
When would one say that it’s finally the right time to move out of their folks’ home? What if my life is sooo much easier and a lot more convenient if I just lived with them forever, do I even ever have to consider moving out? Listen to this new episode as we share our own personal experiences about moving out, and our future plans about trying to establish independent lives outside of the homes we grew up in.

Fart 1: Is this even the right track, or am I stuck?
Being trapped in your own thoughts could be very drowning, and sometimes you just can't help but end up beating yourself over the same stuff in your head. Thanks to the pretty slick idea of our good friend Kevin, we decided to come up with a new segment on the show that might help you uncloud your heads -- MIND FART.
Through Mind Fart, we'll try to share our personal thoughts and opinions about things you guys probably overthink all the time. You don't ever have to ruminate about those deep thoughts in your head alone anymore, feel free to reach us through our email unsoberpodcast@gmail.com or through any of our social media accounts, and we'll try our best to help lighten your load. We know we're not experts, but sometimes it just takes a couple of friends who would be there to listen so you could somehow find that motivation to continue on that life journey of yours!
For the first-ever episode of the segment, our listener shared about his personal mind fart on feeling stuck in a major life choice he personally made. Right after graduation and passing the board exam for Radiologic Technologists, Kevin went straight to medicine school to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. He is passionate about medicine and doing community medical missions, but now he's starting to doubt if this is even the right journey for him. Is it too late for him to switch to another path? Is it time to quit? Should he stay? Join us as we try to dissect this very interesting and relatable mind fart of his.
Remember: if you wanna fart smart, MIND FART. Pfffftt! (whatever that means)

Ep. 10: Social Media Is the New Battlefield
For the past few years, we all have been witnesses of how social media powerfully took over the entire world. Thanks to a bunch of guys who thought it would be fun to create this seemingly new entity, we now have unlimited access to almost anything we could literally think of-- in just one click!
In this episode, J and Z talk about how the impact of social media in our society constantly changes the world we live in as well. We all thought it was created supposedly to make life easier, but why on Earth is it becoming more and more like a messy battleground every.single.day!?
Time-out muna sa kaka-scroll. Grab a drink, relax, and join us in this new tipsyhan episode of the show! :D

Ep. 9: The Chronicles of Kubeta
We back(and we ebak) with a brand new episode! Is it just us or do you guys also have weird rituals you do when you’re in the bathroom? Have a drink with us as we talk about the most random kubeta things, from ways how to use a bidet(we know right?!) to varying steps of taking a shower. We’re keeping things a little bit lighter (and low-key kadiri) for this episode. To those who are eating... listener discretion is advised! :D

Ep. 8: The Long Haul: Am I Going to Be on Diet Forever?
We're really sorry we've been M.I.A for a little over a month already, things are just really getting tougher these days! But hey, we got our first dose of Covid-19 vaccine already!
With all the stuff that's been going on around us, staying MOTIVATED every day to achieve our goals is starting to feel like an interminable series of struggles. Either my body clock is too messed up I can't even perform my daily activities, or I'm too stressed out about my personal life I can't even eat healthy!
Drink with us as we return with this brand new episode about staying committed to your personal objectives. We'll be sharing some of the stuff that's been keeping us from being consistent, as well as how we constantly attempt to hold demotivation at bay.
P.S: Remember in Friends when a car backfired and Ross thought someone took a shot at him? SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED TO US WHILE WE WERE RECORDING THIS EPISODE. Listen to this and witness (with your ears lol) how a carnapper interrupted us while we were in the middle of the discussion. Yikes!

Ep. 7: Breaking Out of Gendered Boxes(and Finding Pag-ibig Outside of Them)
As the society becomes more and more inclusive, people are now starting to realize that gender is a lot more fluid than they’ve previously perceived. We’ve all been put in gendered boxes by the society, but how really important is it to break these societal norms? In this episode, our special guests T and A share their own personal stories about how it could be difficult to grow up in a society that has already so much prejudice against an identity you haven’t even figured out yourself yet. What does it mean to take on a journey of finding yourself outside these societal restrictions, and what really is in store for people who choose to break out of them? What role does PAG-IBIG play here?
Don’t forget to fill up your booze cups because this could get a little heavy! :D

Ep. 6: Part II - On Unwonted Shapes of Pag-ibig(and the intricacies that come with them!)
WHAT. 2 episodes in 1 day?? Dami naming time!
Pag-ibig daw should be unconditional, and you’re supposed to accept love for what it is, warts and all. Have you ever been in a position where you’re made to weigh up the risks and benefits of entering an unusual type of relationship, almost kinda like a catch-22 situation? In this episode, we’ve invited another good friend of ours, RRF. He is a cisgender homosexual male, and he’s pretty batikan as well sa larangan ng pag-ibig!
Warning: Sorry na, part 2 na to kaya tipsy gaming na kami. We hope you’re staying unsober with us because this is a crazy good inuman sesh!
