0:00 a lot of the people that watch my stuff don't expect that from my page they're like oh man just stay out of politics oh yeah theying hate when we talk about politics they they just want us to be clowns and they're like hey man make make me laugh be a fuing clown this politics sh shut the f up it's like don't have aing opinion it's like ████ I'm an American too I [Laughter] [Music] got and welcome back everybody to another amazing episode of the careful boys and today we are super happy to have Jr de back in the SE is the acoustic Filipino man I know dude did you say he's an autistic Filipino man mhm he said acoustic acoustic autistic it's a different form acous what happened to your hand dude uh

0:50 playing basketball yeah that too you're super Filipino yeah playing ball while seeing karaoke oh my God man are you also a nurse mhm okay I was healing someone can I ask you the question that everyone's been wanting to to know the whole world how did you almost get [Laughter] cancelled man hey we're trying to get clickbait come on man we need clickbait I'll I'll jump into the real story uh so I was but from the counselor's perspective yeah are they right you're the what I said was way too inappropriate man no uh from um I was doing a set on Adam Ray Show at the com store in the Hoya and it was the exact same day that the Trump assassination attempt happened oh yeah yeah and uh so somebody in the audience was like I I

1:41 always start my show like and is San Diego like very red blue it's it's mixed it's mixed cuz it's like super chill like Surfer like yeah we're so laidback but also super military too so it's like everything oh okay and then um I asked the crowd usually to start my show like what do you guys want to hear a song about have like a guitar and everything like just nice little I look like a youth pastor whatever what do you guys want to hear about and right away the first guy I asked he was like Trump assassination attempt it literally happened like an hour ago wa so did you think it was a it was a joke that that that idea was a joke no I was like let's do it oh yeah oh so you had heard about it I I had just heard about it right before I was about to go on stage cuz the other comic did it talk about oh got it got it like all right so I just did like a little like two minutes on it what was a

2:32 song let no it was like what did I sing about I think I just sang about how like the shooter T you make America live again no it was something about like uh I think because like he was probably like a liberal artist cuz he had bad aim the guy kind of spot on yeah I was like d if the guy was conservative he would have he would have missed you almost got canceled for that yeah it was crazy wow but from what side tame I don't know I think everybody nobody was sure like what angle is he so it was just like maybe too sensitive at that moment yeah yeah well that seems like a levelheaded crowd cuz it's like I think when cuz when you boil it down it's like it's ████ up when someone tries to assassinate our

3:22 leader right so I feel like that's levelheaded but then the media right after like the left side was like they missed ████ what the hell or like assassination attempt good like Jack Black's homie yeah yeah yeah exactly see the angle I was trying to take was not that I was like I don't want to say like oh we should have got him or something like that that felt ████ up to me but then I was like let's make fun of this shooter guy yeah that's fun make fun of the guy yeah I think that's fine I think you're in the clear Lane still but I think a lot of the comments were just like yo man this is too soon dude really yeah oh cuz it went online yeah oh that's why gangster yeah I called I called uh I called my manager was like should I take this down he's like I don't know why are you calling me sick management dude are you supposed to guide me she's like I I think you I

4:12 think you'll be all right yeah cuz I think um Whatchamacallit when you when you're in The Comedy Room like everyone's kind of like I get it I thought what what happened was someone recorded you or it went outside of that it's kind of like oh yeah whenever you do things outside of Comedy outside of the the venue exactly like it's like you're at a funeral bro like stop doing your standup set you know exactly or sometimes it's actually really good at a funeral but yeah I think I think that's when it gets like people don't know how to act yeah especially at a chill funeral probably jokes would be good there I don't get people getting canceled at a comedy show though that's kind of funny well it was so I will say too like I think in the venue like it went really well but then I realized oh all the posts that I've seen about it are really heavy M and then so you're seeing this heavy post

5:02 and then all of a sudden me like that shoter true it's not even like a oneliner it's like you wrote a song so people might not even think like you're making it up it's like you wrote it yeah probably too Jolly maybe little little do they know that you were freestyling cuz you're talented okay yeah I will say to you this I cut out cuz I tried to make it fit within a minute I cut out the part where the guy you busted topic 60 Minutes on it busted a little 60 minutes got the third chorus that would have helped a lot I think to see that it was inspired by the audience for sure for sure otherwise it's just this guy is like dying to go on stage this is what I've been working on make it look like an open mic do you think if you just leaned one way more you wouldn't be as canceled as way more like he should have died no like yeah so if he was a little

5:52 bit more Liberal Liberal about it then then it's like if you made it about gun control you would have won yeah see I don't you know maybe but it's just so because I'm so like not either way in a in a weird sense like I don't get super political in my show anyway so I think what it was was people were also a lot of the people that watch my stuff don't expect that from my page they're like oh man to stay out of politics oh yeah they ████ hate when we talk about politics yeah they they just want us to be clowns and they're like hey man make make me laugh be a ████ clown this politics ████ shut the ████ up it's like don't have a ████ opin is like ████ I'm American too I got vuck like that's the most fun part of like doing comedy stuff yeah it it I don't know I just think and talking about the hard stuff

6:42 that people don't want to talk about like on a regular so you know you you get you get your almost extreme tidbits about it and that helps you get through it right MH mhm but no um can you show your dick again cuz that was way again when was that that was way people are begging for it but the thing is the part inside of you is like I just want to make you guys happy I want you guys I'll do it how can I make this political yeah that must be funny though you come into a comedy show and you're just like make me laugh clown and then they're like oh man it's ████ politics ████ give me out of here yeah no it's yeah it was fun but I think like if you see the clip I everyone's having a good time like no one's feeling that I think it's it is what you said taking it out of that environment makes it feel like that also though like what you posted this clip on like Instagram right

7:33 yeah mhm I would dare argue to say Instagram is the most toxic platform in the game right now more than Tik Tok more than x x x is like I feel like you go there knowing that and then everybody on any side of any topic outrageously says whatever they want and then there's all the free speech stuff there's POR in there it's like it's it's not the same whereas like um Instagram almost feels like it's supposed to be clean and good and then everyone in the comments that's true there's like a cute little Mormon family and all the comments are like ████ devil worshipping ████ or something like that yeah and the top comments on everything is always like came to the comment section because you know it's like it's just the most insane thing it just feels like Instagram is serving you things to bully now yeah the algorithm is like hey hey make fun of this disabled guy constant alley for you

8:24 to bully people yeah you can't everything's like a dis disability reveal the algorithm so if you start going to Pages where it's just like these normal people just making content you know and they might be a little overweight or maybe they might be a little bad with music right that's the alyu part of it yeah but the algorithm is so good that it'll recommend one after another and you would think that everybody's Napoleon Dynamite yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's good at that typ too and X is a lot more even of like a it seems more like a conversation like you can reply to comments in IG but like like really the culture of it is just seeing like comments a lot of it is like puns a lot of it is just like on liners you know it's just the most crazy stuff so I mean if if anyone has an issue and there's something to like latch on to you're

9:15 going to get like 10x the response that these folks don't even actually believe that it's almost like I think it the videos are pushed for that engagement of like people to attack and debate in the comments with each other even cuz I notic actually was building because then some people had my back and so I would just watch this little like fight happen in the comments and I'm like should I jump in here but I was like nah no I'm cool I'm cool like you you ever like the ones that get your back really good just like passive aggressively like Dam he got me like a burner account well so like recently I was like you know I'm going to engage with these cuz I don't usually and so I engage with every comment on uh cuz I put out the special I engaged on the positive comments and the negative comments and I think it kind of detached me from like caring about what they're

10:06 saying cuz now I'm trying to think of what's the best joke I can come up with back to the that's the best for sure yeah yeah that was actually kind of a fun exercise yeah and it's just better engagement you see like like 2x more comments and stuff so you think it's like popping exactly the algo just works I wonder if cancelling even works anymore I don't think so no right like it was pretty bad during lockdown because everyone's so pissed you just want and nobody everybody had nothing to do so like it was way more intense and like if you get canceled when you already have nothing to do and they're saying that you can't do anything else that's crazy you feel it even more can't go on line yeah it only worked on the what's it called the Cramer from celd yeah that's the only one I can think of he got it early though I think he's like I think he's coming back right now I saw interviews even Louis CK was able to come back swinging hard that's one of

10:57 the craziest I have a I have a friend that's coming back from getting cancelled right now I'm not going to say her name but she's maybe like five posts in and it still pages of like not letting her back like pages of how long has it been is your friend Ellen degenerous it's been maybe 6 months to a year homie reveal and I was like name dropping over here okay so I I have to say a criminal offense or something like that it's hard to come back from yeah so like most cancelling it's like oh you said something that's weird right yeah but like a Weinstein kind of situation that's that's pretty that's a zar level

11:47 though that's that's a TIR no no domestic violence is different it's acceptable in a lot of places in the world I feel like if you get a if you get if you get a mug shot like a really bad mug shot that'll follow you for but if you're hot domestic violence is is way easier in hip-hop though that's true for genres genres D you can come back dope if you're an athlete or a rapper domestic violence that doesn't sh DV could save your career in a way yeah yeah it'll it probably it'll probably Elevate you which sucks but it's like dang dude he goes man I haven't been relevant these days I'm going to go beat up my girlfriend also she won like Rihanna became like a billionaire afterwards so it's kind of like you know what though I feel like Chris Brown he didn't really uh he definitely got some early issues from beating up Rihanna but now his tour s███'s like super sold out dude super sold out by women by women dog buying the VIP meet and GRE me too

12:39 yeah those those meat greets are expensive but that's proportionately how good his music and dancing is dog I know that's crazy how do you feel about Tony at uh Madison sare Gard dude I don't I don't know if this is hot take oh you were there no no but I uh he was he was there he was there he was there since we're on the topic of cancelling I I thought honestly I thought it was I thought it was fine like I know there's probably be some people that like as a comic like are upset about it but I think War that's his humor already that's who he is he's a roast comic whole I I think he'll be fine I think it blew quickly John Stewart did did something pretty funny on it cuz he was like showing clips and stuff and then he was like yeah I ████ I don't know what's wrong with me but I thought it was hilarious that's so funny you don't you don't know you don't think time in place though I think it it when I when I was watching it it looks like a comic doing a set at a corporate gig where

13:31 it's like oh you know this audience isn't primed for this I was just thinking I was like hope he gets paid well and he gets a good meal like I'm sure you got a good meal yeah super good meal but also it's a truthful statement No would we all agree isn't there a giant pile of trash in the ocean everyone that's ever been there told me that and obviously Puerto Rico yeah everyone everyone has Pride from where they come from for sure but they have like a trash problem don't they is that that's what Jo like yeah I don't know joean was saying that Tony's ironically like a very environmentally like geeky guy about that stuff so like is very caught up and he knows that there's a huge uh landfill uh issue in Puerto Rico yeah so it's because he's like environmentally hip to like caring about the world like that that he has a joke that came from it

14:21 it's too clever but I feel like you I feel like I hear that joke every time about a country that is like third world or something and then they call New Jersey that of new York like that's the land of New York D trash there new I remember um the first time I heard of Tony was in like um he did that the the the pretty like chines the Chinese one you talking about when with ping dang it was like a like a Chinese comic was coming out and be like bro here's another ████ white dude dud some hack ████ about Chinese people right and I was like dude here goes yeah there's another ████ white guy doing the same ████ 880s jokes right it was really like and then later I saw his kill Tony stuff and I saw his actual roast and I was like oh I get it like I don't understand like this is his thing cuz you know like you've been there like at a comedy show where a some white guy

15:11 just started comedy and then like he he does those stupid ass Chinese jokes right and you're like bro like evolve like do something better but then after I saw his content I was like I get his style but then the the it's like I think that's what it is like my introduction to him was man this guy's ████ dumb yeah and then now I I really like his comedy it's ████ hilarious but that might be the same reaction that people are having at the rally at the first reaction that's way more funny cuz you're already even looking at it from a comedian perspective if you don't know Tony hch and you just see this guy's a speaker at a rally yeah that's a wild one I think that's a lot of people still don't know him yeah cuz they said they looked over his material too right yeah and they're like yeah let's go for it fun like yeah all good and then and then all of a sudden Trump is like never heard of the

16:01 guy yeah I saw that yeah I was like sure sure dude they denounced him yeah cuz context wise like it matters like if you're like you got to walk into the situation knowing that you know you're about to like Jeff Ross is there he's going to roast everybody but if you don't know who the ████ he is and he's just like going in that would be really funny but at the same time you be like caught off guard like you're like I thought I was at some um save the whales of like why is this guy being mean to everybody dude imagine if you were watching that convention and you didn't know who Hulk Hogan was and he goes on stage he does whole thing like who the ████ is this guy bro like what like what are you talking about yeah like if you didn't know he was a professional wrestler but you know who Macho Man is you're like he's being like macho man but not really he's ripping off Macho of Macho it's a little off it's a little

16:52 different but did you see Biden's response about it no he like like they're saying it's another like Gaff where he's Miss spoke but he had like a big stuttering thing but in it he said that like you basically he was calling uh Trump supporters garbage wait is it in response to that and everybody was like what you're calling half the nation garbage and then he had to backtrack right and and then Harris stepped in like no no no that's not what we mean because she got so much more backl is that why Trump came through in a garbage yeah dude that's exactly why God dude those guys are ████ hilarious they're just setting marketing Geniuses dude it is kind of like WWE wrestling like the same sort of drama plot lines is kind of happening absolutely it's just funny how like quick and shallow they are it's like we're like8 days out this guy says something about garbage so he shows up

17:42 in a garbage show so funny so entertaining yo did you see uh um Camala went on sh uh sh yeah yeah she went on Club sh so the funny thing is like you know I knew it's going to be boring so I just paused it real quick cuz I want to see what the comments how dare you I already know it's going to suck I did watch no seriously I watched like first five minutes it and I it's just as only her laugh her laughs compilation that's it and then so I paused it to go into comments and literally like the first 20 comments is I just paused the video to read the comments I just paused to see what the comments were saying thousands of likes of the same thing cuz we all had the same reaction CU nobody wants to watch it they just want to read dude and and it was liberal and freaking like it brought every body together cuz everyone's cracking up they're like I just wanted to see what the comments

18:33 were saying dude so wasn't that good of interview so no nothing happened I only watched the first five minutes so the comments are just about comments yeah yeah oh sick so nobody watched it I would want to see her go on Rogan I want to see the two I was listening to the JD Vance one and like when you listen to talk you're like this guy's actually pretty levelheaded he's also a good speaker honestly out of all four of the presidential vice president he's actually capable of just like sticking to ████ I think I think it was better than Trump's the the Vance one he knew how to have a conversation Trump is just he just talks at you with his whatever he wants to do if you were in the middle and you saw JD Vance talk you go oh ████ I think I might vot Republican I think that's going to be a lot of people really yeah well he's more I got to watch that episode SE I think he's more like human in a way Trump is like a

19:23 character yeah we should get Waltz on Joe Rogan that'll be tight I've been dying he what he say yeah get him on here what do they call him I don't care what he has they had a nickname stupid that's her joke now we should get Tim Waltz on that show where you have to move your head and get through the the Japanese gametim where the guy looks like Bart he's like going like this and it goes faster and faster and faster but it barely goes faster and faster and faster I just the same thing for like 3 minutes I ████ love how our generation like changed the way that politics is going to be now from this point on and like they're forced to sit down and like all of these like you know like that ████ fake ass politician face where every that like that water cooler like corporate talk the perfect

20:14 thing yeah hey guys uh yes uh let me tell you uh it's like ████ no one talks like that and then the ████ journalist talk you know like his head get closer to you ████ talks like that dude shut the ████ up like be a normal human being have a conversation answer the goddamn questions and I think that's what pisses everyone off is like dude answer the questions yeah yeah I think you can feel it when you're watching where you're like okay I'm I'm going to tune out because they're in that politician speak versus like oh this's a person talking you can feel it on any like on any media form really but politics and even if they don't answer the question I just want to see how they do it masterfully not like rehearsed cuz the way that old school politicians do it you just know man it's just that duster dude yeah that
