Thanks, it's my lola's!Floy Quintos Values Shock ValueFour-time Palanca awardee playwright and television director Floy Quntos shares a couple of laughs with Miles as he talks about his groundbreaking Reality TV show in a Reality TV show in a play, SHOCK VALUE.
A sudden but intentional deviation from his historical and critically acclaimed St. Louis Loves Dem Filipinos, Shock Value tells of a TV host named Matt (Andoy Ranay and John Cruz, alernate), whose life turns into a psychedelic rollercoaster ride after a highly publicized rendezvous with a supposedly underaged street hustler.
Watch as Matt negotiates the monstrosity he has unwillingly concocted from the flashy ingredients...2006-09-1229 min

Thanks, it's my lola's!One Night with Sarong Banggi Director, Emman dela CruzIndie film director Emman dela Cruz takes time to chat with Miles and Margaret as he waits to go onstage to receive yet another award for his critically acclaimed film, "Sarong Banggi," under UFO Films. The three lose track of time, Emman almost is not able to receive his Best Director award.
Literally "One Night" in Bicolano, Sarong Banggi is a story of two people whose lives change after a chance encounter. Newcomer Angelo Ilagan plays a teen-coming-of-ager who meets and connects with a washed up but ephemeral prostitute played by Jaclyn Jose--who won an Urian (an Oscar equivalent...2006-09-0428 min
Thanks, it's my lola's!Remember The Wonder YearsFred Savage, perhaps? Walk down memory lane by recalling the TV shows that helped shape so much of what we are now. From the violent and totally macho Transformers and Thundercats, to the candy-cane Care Bears and Shirt Tails.
Bon suggests Miles write a theme song for the podcast with the following criteria: silly, technological and rhyming; and wonders why palindrome is such a useless coinage for a useless concept.

Thanks, it's my lola's!Hot Guy by Gumamela No. 1Because you've made us the most downloaded gay podcast from the Philippines, we offer you a series of clips called Hot Guy by Gumamela. For what ultimate purspose, we still don't know.
Guy No. 1 is a random person we saw at Morato who had nothing better to do that night. It took a little bit of convincing to get him aboard. See, for some people, "podcasting" is still a made up word, and anything dealing with a video camera means the movies or the boob tube. It was hard to explain how he would be seen by the entire...2006-08-2700 min
Thanks, it's my lola's!Foiled Hopes & Dreams = Wasted YouthWhen foiled hopes & dreams equal wasted youth, Cara, Bon & Miles typify the failure. Cara wanted to become a ninja/assassin who drives a porsche but pays her taxes, Miles an airline pilot, and Bon, well, a dolphin.
Cara can still be an assassin with further training and weight loss, Miles can still be a pilot if he has his eyes lasiked, but Bon can never become a dolphin. Something about evolution.
Our friends theorize that Hong Kong used to be part of Bangaea and make dolphin-monkey sounds, but the coffee shop security guard chases them away. Because in Manila...2006-08-2020 min
Thanks, it's my lola's!Classcasting Should be a New Word, Yeah?Miles talks on Podcasting as a Teaching (in TIML's case, a Garbage-making) Tool in Dr. Lazaro's Radio Techniques Class at the College of Arts and Letters in The University of The Philippines.
This episode is intentionally made of shout-outs because Miles talks way too much about way too many touchy issues and utilizes way too many copyrighted materials that editing this podcast would yield you the same exact podcast.
Hopefully, more curiosity and creativity are sparked in this medium of alternative communication, so that more people will podcast, making more virtual garbage.

Thanks, it's my lola's!Eating at Chili's: Bon Has a Headache and Admits He's Not OutAnd by doing that, he just came out. At Chili's. Along Morato. In Quezon City. No red carpet and parade music?
Cara, Miles and Bon eat Chili's Crispy Calamari Putanesca Pasta and New Zealand Mussels. Miles complains about the bill and that his mussels are "freshish" at best, but is distracted by Bon's challenge to name pastries. Contenders are "Rainbow Pie", "Chocolate Tea Somethings", "Crinkles Crinkles Shining", "Sunshine Smile Cake", and "Happy Happy Shiny Faces".
Cara makes fun of Philippine education, while Bon believes English literacy in the country is 99%. Wow. That's just crazy!

Krixie Ledesma graces this episode. Because wine abounds, somebody inevitably spills it all over everybody's taco plates.
But the conversation becomes more and more interesting as Krixie gives us a blow by blow (!) account of his/her online encounters--from the first step of chatting with a straight guy, to the "attaching" of his/her hand onto this guy's body parts.
Josie, in itself, is not his/her real name. Because Josie actually has a real job, we thought of resizing his/her pictures so that you won't...2006-08-0328 minThanks, it's my lola's!Usapang Lasing # 1: 14% Alcohol Content Can Do This To YouUsapang Lasing = Drunken Conversations
Who says straight and gay guys can't drink together without getting someone offended, harassed, or beaten up?
Bon, Miles, and Cara join friends at Cafe Baresto along Kamuning Avenue, to celebrate the departure of Typhoon Glenda and Bon's mid-year birthday (whatever that means). With respected stage, film and TV actors Mario Magallona & Neil Sese, Production Designer Edwin Serrano, Lighting Designer Luther Gumia, and sidekick/UPTC president Miss Hazel, they gather round a table the old school way--by the street with countless bottles of beer.
With enough alcohol in their bloodstream, our friendly neighborhood losers find...2006-07-2828 min
Thanks, it's my lola's!Eating at the Cradle of Civilization with a Stranger from MalaysiaBecause we spend approximately a fourth of our lifetime eating, Miles and Cara consume baklava and a veggie curry sampler with names ridiculously impossible to pronounce at Ziggurat on the corner of Tigris and Euphrates streets in Makati. We are so not kidding!
We don't know if they named the restaurant Ziggurat because of it's location, or if they renamed the streets so that the restaurant would be "cradled", or if they built the streets around the restaurant. This is the Philippines after all. Your money (especially OPEC currencies like Dinars) will do miracles of religious proportions.

Thanks, it's my lola's!Rio Locsin is Great like Clam Chowder!Margaret Guzman is eating clam chowder at Cibo in Greenhills while she talks with her mouth full about her new film, "Mudraks." In between burps and slurps, Margszie explains why it's so hard not to fall in love with her leading lady, Rio Locsin. In a non-sexual way. Right.
Bon asks very relevant questions like film color, mood, and why isn't Margaret kinder to the disabled, while Miles speaks too fast (again) because he feels he needs to get it all out between coughing sprees, and Cara interjects painful questions like, "Are you good?"

Thanks, it's my lola's!Why is Starbucks Gay?We find our obscure anti-heroes in one of the gazillion cafes of Starbucks in Manila as they whisper their disdain about commercialism and institution. Especially if the coffee costs an arm, a leg, and a left eye.
Miles blabbers on about his dislike for impersonal chain stores, but keeps on coming back for more mocha frappuccino. Venti, please, because he is delusional and thinks it does not show around his waist (he insists on wearing a size 28 pair of jeans. Man, it's not pretty!)
Cara thinks her excuse for not liking Starbucks is genuine. Their coffee makes her puke...2006-07-1726 min
Thanks, it's my lola's!Tambaying at the TambayanMiles and Cara hang out at the Tambayan (Hang-out place-thing) in their old University, interviewing the UP Theater Council on their 13th anniversary, talk about trivial things like Cara's inability to just poop anywhere, sex (or absence thereof) among TC members, and picking up guys by shouting random names.
If you're commuting to work, or waiting out heavy rain because you don't own a car and you would not be caught dead under a tasteless umbrella, you should be listening to this!2006-07-1221 min
