Bretman and Miss Kaaaye are back in the studio playing a chaotic “slip it in” word game that immediately exposes their reading levels, friendship, and respiratory systems. Between cracked vocab, silent-letter beef, and accusing each other of cheating every five minutes, the competition is so unserious. Plus, we catch up on Physical: Asia, Filipino humor TikToks, and a wild Pink House childhood story involving a guinea pig funeral, a candle, and an uncle who hated joy.

On this episode we debated a protest in Dublin by foreign healthcare workers who are demanding the right to bring their families to Ireland to live. Our "essential workers" are denied that right for up to three years while their kids live at the far side of the world.
Five songs. Five distinct moods. One immersive listen that moves from hazy warmth to triumphant return to a heart-tugging plea that won't leave you alone. We spin through new and notable band singles from the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan, comparing notes on production, emotional arcs, and those tiny moments—drops, claps, whispers—that flip a good track into a great one.We start with Over October's 'Dahan', where soft rock and a psychedelic sheen create a slow-burn glow. The vocal sits rich and husky while the guitar shimmers, and a late-song drop brings a goosebump whisper that seals the mood. From there, macico's 'puppet' layers lounge, J-pop, and R&B, all breathy and conspiratorial, hinting at power, distance, and the loneliness between the lines. CNBLUE's 'Curtain call' turns the energy up without losing finesse: bright piano, brass accents, and a propulsive groove that feels like walking back onstage to cheers—grateful, charged, alive. Sakurashimeji's 'who!' brings youthful drive with a smart stereo intro, handclap lift, and a mid-song funk wink that keeps the ride playful and tight. We close on SURL's 'Please stay', where the guitar weeps and the vocal folds into the arrangement like another instrument. It's melancholic, intoxicating, and beautifully produced, the kind of track that asks for one more midnight replay.Throughout, we talk arrangement choices, vocal textures, sonic influences—psychedelic touches, jazz inflections, R&B undercurrents—and how personal context shapes what we hear. If you love discovering Asian indie, pop rock, and cross-genre band sounds, this one's packed with gems and ear-candy details worth your time.Your notes help others find the music, and your favorites might make our next playlist—what track hit you hardest?Over October: Instagram X YouTube Dahanmacico: Instagram X YouTube puppetCNBLUE: Instagram X YouTube Curtain callSakura Shimeji: Instagram X YouTube who!SURL: Instagram YouTube Please staySupport the showPlease help Music Elixir by rating, reviewing, and sharing the episode.

Are you in condition to do rope? And what does that really mean? Claire, a Filipino strength and conditioning coach and exercise physiology researcher based in Thailand, returns for part two of her conversation with Mya and Fox. With over 15 years of experience coaching people of all ages, shapes, and abilities, she brings a science-informed, body-positive approach to rope bottoming—one that combines strength, mobility, and awareness. Her perspective couldn't be more different from Mya's go-with-the-flow style, and this time the hosts explore how conditioning, recovery, and mindset work together to build a rope journey that's sustainable, safe, and deeply rewarding. In this episode, they discuss: • The difference between conditioning and simply “getting fit” • Why you might want to condition yourself for rope, not just in rope • How rope is a marathon, not a sprint • Re-setting expectations for your body after time away from rope • Building the mental approach needed for long-term rope practice • Activities that help your body adapt to different rope challenges • Using the rope session itself as conditioning • What rope can learn from sports science • How conditioning supports safety and longevity • The role of bodyweight exercises in building body awareness • Why establishing a “body baseline” matters • Breathwork and recovery • Conditioning for “smexy-times” rope • The eight senses and their role in rope play You don't have to do any of this (Mya) —but if you love understanding the body, or you're a science and exercise geek at heart (Fox!), this is a must-listen.

Dass die Philippinen einige Exportschlager haben, wissen leider immer noch nur die wenigsten. Das San Miguel Bier schreiben wir fälschlicherweise den Spaniern zu und viele Exploitationfilme den Amerikanern. Diesen Irrglauben möchten wir in dieser Folge aus der Welt schaffen und tauchen mit euch in die Welt des philippinischen Exploitation-Kinos der 1970er ein. Wir sprechen für euch über Mark Hartleys Dokumentation „Machete Maidens Unleashed!“ sowie die Filme Beast Of Blood (Drakapa, das Monster mit der Krallenhand), The Big Doll House, Cosa Nostra Asia (Kung-Fu - Im Trommelfeuer seiner Fäuste) und Vampire Hookers.

This coastal city, the capital of Sabah, offers a multitude of experiences, from bustling markets to breathtaking hikes. We guide you through the local culinary delights, such as the soft boiled eggs and kaya toast, and the enticing pork noodle soup that define the region's breakfast offerings. As we delve deeper, we highlight the unique opportunity to climb Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia, where the views await. Join us as we discover how Kota Kinabalu is not just a destination, but a launch pad for unforgettable adventures across Sabah and all of Borneo.The Sunday morning market in Kota Kinabalu transforms this strip into a vibrant hub of activity, showcasing local dishes that define Sabahan cuisine. The soft-boiled eggs paired with kaya toast, a delicacy made from coconut jam, paired with the local favorite pork noodle soup, offer a taste of the region that is both comforting and delicious. As night falls, the Filipino market along the waterfront becomes a sensory overload, where grilled chicken wings, drizzled with honey and local snacks like La Tak, present an adventurous culinary experience for those willing to step outside their comfort zone.Further enriching the experience, the episode delves into Sabah's indigenous culture at the Kdca Cultural Village. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the traditions of the local communities, engaging with various indigenous groups while enjoying performances of traditional dances. The Simaziu dance, accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of gongs, provides a glimpse into the area's rich cultural heritage, while the chance to participate in the harvest festival emphasizes the community spirit and appreciation for local agricultural practices. Such cultural insights not only enhance the travel experience but also foster a deeper understanding of the local way of life.The natural landscapes surrounding Kota Kinabalu are equally impressive, with opportunities for adventure and relaxation. A short boat ride from Jesselton Point leads to stunning islands within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, where activities such as snorkeling and jet skiing await. For those seeking a more daring challenge, the hike to Mount Kinabalu is a highlight, requiring a licensed guide to navigate the trails safely. The hike culminates in a breathtaking sunrise view that is a reward for the effort. Alternatively, the picturesque town of Kundasang offers a serene escape with its rolling meadows and opportunities to visit the Kundasang War Memorial, honoring those lost in WWII.

In this throwback episode, we have Anne and Mark Lackey. Entrepreneurs that has a series of ventures that each emerged from a real‑world problem they faced themselves. When a valued employee abruptly quit, they recognized the hidden cost of staff churn and the difficulty of finding reliable “drudgery” workers—people willing to handle repetitive, phone‑based tasks. Their answer was to create HireSmart Virtual Assistants. HireSmart's model combines two core services: rigorous recruiting that matches the right talent to the right role, and a one‑week certification boot‑camp that trains virtual assistants in both technical skills and cultural communication. They also act as an ongoing HR partner, handling issues that arise after placement. The result is a seamless experience for clients—calls sound as if they're coming from the U.S., tasks are completed efficiently, and companies enjoy significant cost savings. The founders also note the broader social impact: they now provide health care to thousands of Filipino families, a benefit many Fortune 500 call centers don't offer.

Clara Barton, the founder of the Red Cross, was in Havana in 1898, investigating the terrible conditions endured by Cubans whom the Spanish government had forced into concentration camps, where an estimated 425,000 people died of disease and starvation. While she was there, the American warship USS Maine exploded in Havana's harbor, which served as the pretext for an American invasion, leading to the Spanish-American War. The United States swiftly invaded and won the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898 due to its superior naval power, the decisive charge led by Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" at San Juan Hill, and the crucial assistance from Cuban insurgents against the already exhausted Spanish forces. In the wake of the Spanish-American war, the United States freed Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from Spanish control and, in turn, became an empire. This created beliefs that America was a stern yet benevolent country tasked by Destiny to enforce peace and bring prosperity to the world. That comforting thought was soon disproven, especially in the Philippines, whose people discovered they had merely swapped one colonial power for another. They then endured a vicious war that saw an estimated 600,000 Filipino deaths. Whereas the Cuban campaign brought glory to Theodore Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, “the Philippine War would be America’s most quickly forgotten war, the one least celebrated in song or legend, the one least memorialized.” And for good reason, Jackson recounts: American soldiers committed countless atrocities while being felled right and left by disease and starvation themselves; many soldiers committed suicide, and others deserted to join Filipino rebels. Today’s guest is Joe Jackson, author of “Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and the Birth of the American Empire.” We look at this decisive war that turned American into a global power, and how poor planning turned into a disaster in the Philippines, creating our first quagmire of a war, long before Iraq or Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 1826, fellow priests caring for an ailing Father Juan Severino Mallari made a horrifying discovery in his residence: bloodstained clothing belonging to dozens of missing parishioners. Over the next ten years, investigators would uncover fifty-seven murders committed by the parish priest of Magalang, Pampanga—a man who believed killing his congregants would break a curse afflicting his mother. Father Mallari's victims trusted him completely. They came to him for confession, for blessings, for spiritual guidance. And then they disappeared. What makes this case even more tragic is that Spanish colonial authorities meticulously documented Mallari's education and artwork, but never bothered to record a single name of the fifty-seven Filipinos he murdered. This is the story of colonial erasure, untreated mental illness, and a murderous priest.This is Episode 7 of Season 36: Serial Killers in History, our ambitious exploration of forgotten murderers from ancient Rome through the early 20th century. This season examines how social inequality, colonial systems, and institutional failures enabled killers across continents and centuries. Juan Severino Mallari's case reveals the devastating intersection of Spanish colonial racism, primitive mental healthcare, and religious authority in early 19th-century Philippines. The next episode continues our journey through history's darkest moments with another case of power, isolation, and the victims erased from official records.Historical Context & BackgroundJuan Severino Mallari was born in 1785 in San Nicolas, Pampanga, into a respected Kapampangan family with church benefactor status. He earned his philosophy degree around 1800, his theology degree in 1805 at San Carlos Seminary, and was ordained at the University of Santo Tomas in 1809 by Archbishop Juan Antonio Zulaybar. But being a Filipino priest in Spanish colonial Philippines meant systemic discrimination. From 1809 to 1812, Mallari served as coadjutor in multiple parishes, applying repeatedly for parish priest positions in Orani, Mariveles, Lubao, and as chaplain at the Port of Cavite. Spanish authorities rejected him every time—not for lack of qualifications, but due to colonial racism that viewed Filipino secular priests as inferior to Spanish friars. Finally, in 1812, he became parish priest of San Bartolome Parish in Magalang, the first Filipino to hold that position in all of Pampanga. In that isolated agricultural community, trusted completely by his parishioners, Father Mallari would commit fifty-seven murders over the next decade.The Descent into MadnessAround 1816, four years after becoming parish priest, Mallari's mother fell gravely ill. He became convinced she was cursed—a belief that merged Catholic faith with pre-colonial Filipino traditions about mangkukulam (witches) who could cast deadly kulam (curses). Historical accounts describe Mallari experiencing severe hallucinations during Mass, stopping mid-sermon to converse with invisible figures. Spain had pioneered psychiatric treatment in Europe, and the Hospicio de San Jose psychiatric facility in Manila had been operational since 1811. But Mallari was in rural Pampanga, miles from Manila, and he was the parish priest—the highest religious authority in Magalang. No one recognized his psychotic delusions as treatable illness requiring intervention. When Mallari decided that killing the people he believed were witches would cure his mother, no one stopped him. His first victim likely came to confession in 1816. We don't know this person's name, age, or family situation—Spanish colonial records didn't consider such details worth documenting.The Ten-Year Killing SpreeOver the next decade, Father Mallari murdered fifty-seven of his parishioners. He killed in the privacy of the parish house—people who came for spiritual guidance, to arrange marriages, to request baptisms. After each murder, he carefully folded the victim's bloodstained clothing and preserved it in his residence. This level of organization existing alongside complete psychotic delusion reveals the terrifying complexity of his mental state. His mother died December 4, 1825. The killings hadn't saved her. Everything had been for nothing. But Mallari didn't stop because of his mother's death—he stopped because sixteen days later, several families finally gathered courage to file a formal complaint with the gobernadorcillo (town mayor). Imagine the bravery required: Filipino families in 1825 Spanish colonial Philippines accusing the parish priest—the most powerful religious figure in their town. In February 1826, when Mallari fell ill and fellow priests came to care for him, they discovered the horrifying evidence: bloodstained belongings of dozens of missing parishioners, folded and stored in his residence. Word reached the constabulary. Townspeople gathered with torches. Ten years of disappearances converged on that moment.Investigation, Trial & ExecutionWhen Spanish authorities arrested Mallari in 1826, he confessed immediately—not with remorse, but with explanation. He detailed his mother's curse, identifying fifty-seven witches, explaining why their deaths would break the curse. The trial began later that year, drawing unprecedented attention across Spanish colonial territory. Prosecutors methodically presented bloodstained clothing, stolen items from victims' families, witness testimony about Mallari's erratic behavior during Mass. The defense attempted to portray him as a respected leader framed by jealous rivals, but couldn't explain the overwhelming physical evidence or Mallari's own detailed confession. He was convicted, but not executed immediately. Mallari spent fourteen years imprisoned—fourteen years between his 1826 arrest and his 1840 execution. The colonial legal system required multiple levels of review for an unprecedented case: a Filipino priest convicted of fifty-seven murders. Those victim families waited fourteen years for justice. Finally, in 1840, Juan Severino Mallari was hanged at Bagumbayan field (today Luneta Park in Manila). He was fifty-five years old, the first Filipino priest ever executed by Spanish colonial authorities. Thirty-two years later, three more Filipino priests—the GOMBURZA martyrs—would be executed for allegedly inspiring revolt, helping spark the Philippine Revolution.The Unnamed Fifty-SevenFather Juan Severino Mallari's life is extensively recorded. Spanish colonial documents detail his birth in San Nicolas, his family's church benefactor status, his philosophy degree (circa 1800), theology degree (1805), ordination (1809), every parish appointment, every rejected job application. Examples of his calligraphy—ornate ecclesiastical documents—survive in historical archives. The Spanish system found Mallari worth documenting in extraordinary detail. The fifty-seven Filipinos he murdered? Not one name recorded. Not one age. Not one occupation. Not one family detail. Were they farmers? Merchants? Young? Old? Parents leaving behind children? We don't know. Spanish authorities didn't care. This isn't accident—it's colonial violence manifesting as bureaucratic erasure. The Spanish system existed to extract wealth and maintain control. Individual Filipino lives didn't serve Spanish interests, so they weren't recorded. Somewhere in Pampanga, descendants of those fifty-seven victims exist. People who grew up hearing family stories about a great-great-grandparent who vanished mysteriously in the 1820s, inheriting trauma without closure. Those descendants deserve to know their family member's death mattered, that their ancestor's life had value, that we haven't forgotten them even if we can't name them.Resources & Further ReadingThe National Archives of the Philippines in Manila maintain limited records from Spanish colonial Pampanga, though documentation of crimes against Filipino civilians remains incomplete. The University of Santo Tomas archives preserve ecclesiastical records from the period, including ordination documentation for Filipino priests like Mallari. Historical studies of Spanish colonial mental healthcare reveal the stark disparity between psychiatric facilities available in Manila (like the Hospicio de San Jose, operational from 1811) and the complete absence of mental health resources in rural provinces. Research into the principalía class structure and Spanish colonial racism illuminates how systemic discrimination created the conditions for Mallari's prolonged killing spree. Philippine Revolution history provides context for understanding how cases like Mallari's—and the later GOMBURZA executions—contributed to growing Filipino resistance against colonial rule.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In Episode 639 of The Knife Junkie Podcast, host Bob DeMarco sits down with martial artist and media producer Paulo Rubio to discuss practical training methods, knife design philosophy, and the reality of self-defense situations. Rubio, formerly known for his work with Funker Tactical, shares his transformation from documenting martial arts masters around the world to becoming a dedicated instructor himself.The conversation covers Rubio's approach to creating training drills, including his innovative reverse blink drill that tests reactions in fractions of a second. Based on research showing that knife thrusts occur in just 0.14 seconds, this drill reveals what your body actually does under extreme pressure, rather than what you think it should do. Rubio explains his philosophy of creating hundreds of drills and discarding most of them, encouraging students to develop their own training methods based on honest self-assessment of their weaknesses.DeMarco and Rubio discuss the complexity of real defensive scenarios, including split-second decision-making when multiple people might enter a violent situation. Rubio shares insights from his years of learning from masters across every fighting discipline, explaining how he alchemized that knowledge into teachable skills. The episode also explores knife selection and design, with Rubio advocating for simple, functional tools rather than Frankenstein blades trying to solve every problem at once.Whether you train in Filipino martial arts, study knife techniques, or want to understand practical self-defense from someone who has learned from the best and tested it all himself, this episode offers valuable perspectives on training, teaching, and the honest assessment of what actually works when it matters most.Listen to Episode 639 at www.theknifejunkie.com/639.

The banig is more than just a simple mat; it's an object that literally grounds Filipino life. This episode traces its extraordinary 39,000-year journey, from prehistoric stone tools in the Tabon Caves to the sacred spaces of pre-colonial chieftains. We explore how this craft, passed down almost exclusively by women, survived colonization through its "strategic ordinariness" and later became a national symbol. We also discuss the harsh economic realities facing master weavers today and the countermovement by contemporary designers and social enterprises who are transforming the humble mat from the floor to the fashion catwalk.

In the early morning hours of July 14, 1966, Chicago police responded to a call about a woman screaming for help at a townhouse in Chicago's Jeffery Manor neighborhood. When they arrived, they found student nurse Cora Amurao outside the home she shared with eight other student nurses, all of whom had been strangled or stabbed that night by an unknown intruder, while Cora hid underneath her bed. Considered at the time to be a “crime of the century,” the student nurse murders shocked and terrified Chicago residents all across the city. Not only had one man managed to brutally murder eight people, but he had also managed to escape and was loose somewhere in the city. At the time, racially motivated riots had broken out across the city, making the already-burdened Chicago Police Department even more strained when it came to investigating the case.After an intense manhunt that lasted several days, investigators arrested Richard Speck, a twenty-four-year-old unemployed drifter with a criminal history. There was a strong amount of evidence that linked Speck directly to the murders, including his own confession, so when he went to trial, his lawyer tried unsuccessfully to argue Speck was not legally sane at the time of the murders. Unfortunately, the truth was something far worse: Speck killed eight women for no reason whatsoever.ReferencesAltman, Jack, and Marvin Ziporyn. 1967.

Roman, with his rich lineage as the son of legendary NFL quarterback Roman Gabriel, shares the challenges and triumphs of pursuing professional football aspirations under the shadow of greatness. Together, we paint a vivid picture of Roman's formative years in Westlake Village, California, his childhood dreams, and the powerful lessons learned from his father's unwavering dedication to the sport.

I reflect on my own upbringing, drawing inspiration from my parents' teachings, which emphasized balance, character, and the importance of finishing what you start. Roman and I share how these deeply ingrained values have guided us through life's challenges, with anecdotes about how team sports and spirituality played pivotal roles in our development. We also highlight the significance of giving back, with a special focus on the Soul At You Foundation, which aims to empower the next generation with essential life skills. Finally, we address crucial issues affecting today's youth, particularly the dangers of substance abuse.

Acknowledging our responsibility to inform and safeguard young minds, we invite listeners to engage with our resources and partnerships, promising impactful developments on the horizon.
