Wake Up With Jim and Saab

We're back!!! This week, we're bringing back Five Senses Friday (on a Monday lol!) and sharing everything we've been loving lately—from music, books, and TV shows, to coffee, running, and recent finds.

A few months ago, we got an email that we were convinced was a prank. Fast forward to us flying to Japan, walking a Star Wars red carpet, meeting Grogu, interviewing Pedro Pascal, and trying our best not to completely forget how to speak in front of Jon Favreau.

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of our trip to the Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu fan event and premiere in Japan. Go see it in cinemas while you s...

When does summer actually start? Basta March na? When school ends? Or is it that exact moment na paglabas mo ng jeep, tapos biglang boom — init sa mukha mo?

In this episode, we go down memory lane (hello, ice tubig and electric fans on full blast!!) and realize that summer isn’t just about beach trips anymore. It’s in the small, everyday moments — opening the fridge after a long day, stepping into a mall with...

“I love you… but I’m just not ready.” Anong gagawin ko diyan, beh?!? 🥲

In this Malibag episode, we unpack the gray area between holding on and letting go; existential crises, burnout, timing, and the brutal truth that you can’t force someone to choose you.

If you’ve ever been stuck in an “I love you, but” situation, this one’s for you. 🫂❤️‍🩹

This episode is what happens when you’re a little too online and you've had a crazy week but decide to hit record anyway. 🤣 We talk about what's on our reels algorithm, internet chismis, and why some content should probably just be laughed at instead of overanalyzed.

This is also your reminder to maybe log off every once in a while. Or don’t. We won’t judge!! 🤗

At some point, you realize you don’t need to suffer to prove anything. In this episode, we talk about how we’ve slowly learned to prioritize comfort in our routines, our choices, and even in what we wear every day. From letting go of unnecessary expectations to choosing clothes that actually work for our lifestyle, this is a conversation about growing into yourself and honoring what makes daily life easier.

Jim and Saab have their differences–and that's why they work! This episode is for couples who love each other but don’t do things the same way. One of you feels first, while the other thinks first. One adds to cart, and the other opens an Excel file. And somehow… it all still ends up working.

We share the friction, the fights, and the small shifts in communication that helped us understand each other better over t...

Mas okay ba ang dimly lit and ambient restaurant for a first date, or yung medj maingay para hindi awkward?? In this episode, we get serious about elevators, food, and dating choices. From first date food options, to the unspoken rules of elevator etiquette (na para bang walang decency na ang iba ngayon 🫠), to relationship red flags you really shouldn’t ignore.

This week’s episode is a full ride — from raging at Microsoft Office subscriptions, to questioning why politicians love “executive sessions,” to discovering Jim’s newest life hack: drinking hot water like it’s a religion. We also dive into a spicy Malibag about exes, boundaries, and why you deserve more than being someone’s “escape.”

It’s messy, it’s honest, and it&rs...

This week, we unpack the great mysteries of Filipino behavior — like why people stand up the second the plane lands, why personal space becomes optional in airport lines, and whether hotpot is just… fancy nilaga (don’t fight us). We also touch on political family drama, AMA questions, money tips, and the eternal debate on when a “sick leave” is actually sick.

Ever found yourself seconds away from snapping at a stranger, but managed to keep it together (barely)? In this episode, we talk about emotional regulation — what it means, why it’s hard, and how it can save your sanity in a world full of power-tripping receptionists.

We also dive into the sudden changes in Panatang Makabayan, weird AI voices at Burger King, and a wild Malibag entry involving a priest. It’s a ride ...

In this episode, we rant about how accountability feels impossible in the Philippines, why everything here seems designed to make life harder, and what that says about our system.

We also read a Malibag about learning to lead at work — how to earn respect when your officemates don’t seem to take you seriously.

What do you do when you accidentally let one rip in front of someone you barely know? Do you own up to it, or just pretend nothing happened? In this episode, we take a break from politics (don’t worry, we’ll be back next week!) to talk about fart etiquette, burps at the dinner table, and why “performative males” might just be the new douchebags. We also go on a nostalgia trip with 2000s music videos, rant ab...

How does practicing gratitude actually change your brain, your relationships, and even your health? In this episode, we break down the science of being thankful, why forced “thank yous” backfire, and how gratitude can coexist with grief. We also share real-life tips you can try right away—no 15-hour saunas required.
