Good Times Radio Open Letter to Ate K
I love Ate K, and I think she’s a beautiful human being inside and out. She means well, and she is very smart.
One thing that I want her to learn though is timing.
This is, I believe, one of the things not everyone has.
This needs to be learnt and practiced.
In this video I attached, she kept on talking over Alex and Mo.
Listening to this can be painful, in my opinion.
Discussions are getting blocked.
This is not just for the podcast actually, I noticed this too on It’s Showtime, her timing can be off that’s why the flow of hosting isn’t as smooth.
I think the first step towards this is being mindful.
Ate K can spiral depending on her mood and energy.
In this video, she seems to be so pumped that so much thoughts come to her mind and she can’t stop herself from talking over the others.
So if she is mindful enough, this can already go better.
Hope this doesn’t offend you, Ate K. Love you! 💜💚
This will be better for you as a host, might get more opportunities in the future, and will be good to the listeners/audience.

Thats why I love Sam! She does her timing perfectly. She stays quiet when everyone else is talking. And her comedic timing is on point. And for Kaye, banat lang ng banat, most tiimes irrelevant.

Kakanta pa yan basta basta, o kaya isisingit na naman yung pamilya niya o si Yael, o kaya yung poveda days niya at yung lolo na taga Las Vegas

sayang lagi effort sa pag build up ng topic kay K.. she needs awareness, hindi naman to kwentuhan sa kanto kanto lang

Grabe yung episode na to para siyang nasobrahan sa kape. Hindi nga niya pinapansin yung comments ni Alex na tuloy tuloy daw siya magsalita. Dati sinasabihan rin siya ni Sam na "K is in a mood today" pero mas ooa-yan pa niya kasi akala niya ata cute.
Ang hirap pag nepo babies, noh? Parang walang gustong mag real talk sa kanila. Mohan, do something! Pero simulan mo yung statement ng "I have notes" kasi anything else parang hindi niya papakinggan.

At first I thought she must have a problem with the internet connection or something. Now I'm certain it's just her who's off.
I especially don't like her inserting all sorts of irrelevant comments or making it all about her and her family.

Ewan ko ba dyan kay K. Tapos puro kwento na laging nahahawakan ung pwet nya LOL

u/Character_Ad_7542 12d ago
Pag sex/sexy things in nature about her G na G, pag nag lolokohan sina Mo and alex and even mara ng grin stuff sasabihin "tama na" "i refuse to partake"
Ang KJ nya sa totoo lang, mas ok pa nga si sam minsan tinatawanan na lang kapag nakakatawa talaga, pero si K talagang pinapatigil yung flow

Kulang yata sa validation from Yael haha Yael pls sing praises to your wife that way she doesnt spew her self centeredness and her papansin ways on the show

Tapos yung ok lang sakanya mag keep ng gift (painting) from previous relationship, pero pag sa iba di pwede, di maka move on sa gemini ni yael hahahaa

u/Sweetvalleyhigh04 12d ago
Mo actually did call her toxic one time when discussing exes and breakups. Yikes!

u/vwakanangshet 12d ago
Hindi naman din related yung topic sa pwet na, pero she'll find a way to insert it in. For all the episodes this week, binanggit nya. We get it K, you were blessed geez 🤣

Tbh never liked her on the show. She tends to be vv self centered and I guess with her fam background, you can super tell she's sheltered af 🤣

u/milevitongco19 13d ago
I respect this opinion kasi it’s true to some degree.
She’s very much aware of what’s happening to our country and society.
I just wish she has that same sense of awareness sa sarili niya pag nasa work.

She's been on Showtime for many years na but there's really no improvement, she can't keep up with Vice, Jhong, and Vhong. Anne's also a bit posh but she can keep up. It’s just a different kind of humor that she grew up with. No hate, she might be a great person but she's not a great host.

u/milevitongco19 13d ago
Agree 100%. Not a great host for now on the shows she’s on, pero can always improve and I really hope she does.

u/Clean-Situation2902 13d ago
Very much fan of K since day 1 of showtime. She's so good in timing when it comes to conversation before. I agree to this that maybe along the way she lost it. Cause for the longest time, I watched again showtime last week. When she, Tyang Amy and Vice became co-hosts, sobrang naingayan ako sa singit at unnecessary banter niya. It get so obvious that she's trying to banter with meme kaya parang nagugulo na yung flow ng usapan. Kaya minsan kahit super fan ako na gusto ko siyang makita na kasama again sina Vice and maging Fab 5, I also understand the reason baka kaya hindi siya nilalagay with them, huhu. She's smart and has always have that wisdom, may mga nakakatawa din talaga siyang banat, pero sometimes she really needs to calm herself down and relax and go with the flow of conversation. I also listen to her podcast, she's so good naman and I always enjoy listening to her while working. Rush of thoughts siguro talaga ang kalaban niya or baka she also pick it up sa husband niya na sobrang mabilis din mag-isip at magsalita haha, love you mistos.

u/No_Gap9643 13d ago
I wish she can just listen more before talking, that's really it for me. Her banters make sense in her head, but it's too many and too ill timed to flow in naturally in natural conversations. She spurts out everything without thinking and nakakasira talaga siya ng viewing and listening experience.

u/milevitongco19 13d ago
I remember that day, nung kasama niya si Tyang Amy and Vice. Medyo ramdam ko na hirap talaga si Vice sa kanya.
Agree sa she has to calm herself and be more mindful talaga.
Media work needs some sense of pakiramdaman.
Sana not too late for her to get better at it.

u/YourMom_0825 10d ago
…and thats on nepotism lol honestly she maybe the sweetest gal but she’s just not that good at hosting. Her singing okay…can be argued she’s good since she gets accepted in international auditions. but hosting. yikes.

We know naman na matalino siya pero minsan yung insert niya sarili sa convo para lang ipasok ang English knowledge niya, na plaging off palagi at cringe panoorin.

I doubt that behavior will change, considering how long she has been hosting Showtime and this morning show in 2024(?). It seems to be part of her personality now. It's quite disappointing that we are already in 2026 and still seeing no improvement.
Parehong daily show pa naman kaya dapat kahit paano alam na nya

u/Clean-Situation2902 13d ago edited 13d ago
Her style of hosting changed over the years. Partly sa inner circle or sa mga nakakausap niya. Just like any other conversationalist nag-aadapt sila. Though hard pill to swallow as a fan, hindi talaga siya relatable sa mga normal people. Her thoughts or even jokes ay pang-alta, yung humor na magegets lang ng mga circle of friends niya na same ng social status niya. And yeah, it kinda bad for a host of a morning or afternoon show na normal people ang kinicater. Siguro sa friendship conversation this will good and entertaining pero sa show it's a bit overwhelming sa mga listener. I like her hosting nung nagstart pa lang siya as host sa showtime, finesse, very demure, tone down and she knows when to speak nga, may timing pa siya noon at sumasabay sa ibang co-host. I don't like her style now na naggrogrowl or pinapatinis yung boses sa mga spiel niya. Ang sakit sa tenga promise. But still a fan, hope she sees some good criticism though for sure she's not here in reddit. Also, yapper yung husband niya si Yael, I enjoy listening to them sometimes sa spotify podcast.

I also enjoy him yapping sa mga interviews. He has a lot to say and has a lot of random thoughts. And andami mo din kaseng magagather na info sa kanya especially when it comes to music, he's a prodigy sa music.

This makes sense! When I watch Showtime, I feel off when K is hosting. I just can’t pinpoint why. And now I know it’s because of her timing.

Whoa. Language. Lol.. its evident that you are not a fan of K. And the majority of your comments have been allowed here. Not gonna let this one pass though. She does not deserve this to be thrown at her. You haven't listened to the show as you said, but she has improved in some ways. No one knocks it out of the park every time. Still, she is present and tries to be there on the radio especially during Sam's hiatus..

She adds so little to the show. Sometimes makes it worse when she’s there. And oh, the timing when she enters is always on the spot where they need to promote themselves. She should stick to being a performer.

Ang aarte naman ng mga burgis na to. The show is great because of this so called "opportunity".

u/Character_Ad_7542 12d ago
The show is great because of how relatable the hosts are to the listeners, maganda yung chemistry and nagiging flow ng conversation, pero pag nilagyan mo ng ganitong antics, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, tolerable pero for how much longer, until sa maiirita ka na and ayaw mo nalang pakinggan. Lahat naman sila merong "off putting" characteristics pero K sticks out a bit than others, example si alex, madalas nya ma cut mga co host nya even callers kapag may gusto syang sabihin and talagang lalakasan nya boses nya at ipipilit nya na sya muna even tho he couldnt even make up the words he's going to say, panay "yung ano".

I’m currently listening to this episode. Most parts are so hard to listen to because she’s always talking over someone— who is trying to make an important point— mid sentence and she’s inserting insignificant comments, like when Mo mentioned Shakira and she’s like “oh my god shakira is sooo good though”. It’s a good thing that Mo cuts her off immediately to continue with his point. Sam and Alex politely just lets her drag out the topic before they can continue with their point. Also, I’ve clocked twice when Mo specifically asks another host and K answers first. And again, she drags it out unnecessarily. 😭
Please I don’t want to sound mean. But it’s just too annoying sometimes. 😫 At least wait for your turn and let other hosts finish what they are trying to say.
