No Filter in Paradise
Aruba’s Chaos Cafe Incident Raises Bigger Questions… | EP 241
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode takes a serious turn.
We celebrate a major win for Aruba: Liam from ActiveMirror landing a record deal in Canada. We talk about what makes artists truly stand out today, from storytelling and live performance to making music that actually connects with people.
But the conversation shifts when we react to the Chaos Cafe incident and the bigger questions it raises about community safety, workplace harassment, stalking behavior, and accountability. When someone gets followed to their job and violence breaks out, at what point does a situation stop being “drama” and become a real public safety concern?
We also discuss:
• Aruba policing and intervention questions
• reporting patterns and community frustration
• future guests we’d love to bring on from policing, media, and content creation
• a personal weight loss and health update
• gratitude for friendship, consistency, and the opportunities podcasting created
• Aruba e-scooter safety and road rules
• and finally… merch is officially happening
As always, thank you for rocking with us.

SPEAKER_01That is, I know you. I know you. It's fucked up, but hey, it is what it is. Uh, I want to give a shout out to Active Mirror, Liam.
Shoutout To Liam’s Record Deal
unknownHey Lily!
SPEAKER_01If you guys don't know, he's been actually he was the first person to ever perform live on no filter. This was during during COVID times? When was this? No, I don't even know how this happened, but it was like one of our first episodes in the first 20.
unknownYeah, I know.
SPEAKER_02It was early because I remember we had to do he performed in a different room. Yeah, downstairs. Oh, downstairs. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it was COVID time because it was we had the the downstairs set up for the thing you used to do.
SPEAKER_01Mauro.
SPEAKER_02No, you used to do the thing with uh before no filter stores. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was live sessions or something like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I've always forgot the name, but you just brought it back. Yeah, we did used to do that one, and I used to be the I was the host of that. Correct. It's kind of like how this whole thing started, to be honest.
SPEAKER_02Exactly. You were down there doing that, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And uh, we brought Liam and so he got a record deal in Canada. I don't know the details as smart as I know.
SPEAKER_02Shout out to Lili and the Congratulations, well deserved.
SPEAKER_01This guy is an extremely talented singer.
SPEAKER_02Guys, well, you missed your chance because he left, and that's also to show like how much he's been grinding. Shout out to Amal as well, because she's been right singer, she's been grinding with him. And I mean, that's how we got to know him, even it was you know, her pushing him be like, hey, yeah, bring him on the show. And you used to go to the restaurant all the time, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Cause I was a shout out to Alfie's, I was a big fan of uh of Liam, yeah, like he has some really cool songs, he has really cool original songs that I like, and sometimes when when when uh uh you know, I don't want to say not so well known because he is well known in some communities, but uh like it's like a hit or miss with the original songs, but Kunele, like it's true, if he had 10, like I was vibing with five or six of them, like yo, and I go and like play your song. Like, I don't want to hear covers, like I want you to play your song. Let's understand how you feel.
SPEAKER_02He actually has storytelling abilities with his music, like he tells you a story. I like that is what I appreciate, artists that you could close your eyes, listen to the music, and it's gonna tell you something, it's gonna make you either laugh or cry or look or think about them like oh shit, I didn't think about that. Yeah, but if you're just gonna repeat like the same words in the song, then it's kind of like how music used to be back then.
SPEAKER_01Like, if you think about like um Queen, so Freddie Mercury, like when they or I'm just trying to think of like I don't know say ACDC, but anyways, like Freddie Mercury is a great example. All of his songs are different, and it's like a whole story telling about something that really happened, and Liam's music is very similar. He talks about his relationship with his brother, his parents, I think his problem with with relationships. So his things goes really deep, and he just sings fucking good on top of it, he hits like high nose. I'm like in it. Where's the auto tune?
SPEAKER_02Zero, somebody y'all gotta go see live for sure. If you've never seen Lily live, you need to.
SPEAKER_01What you call him? Lily Lily Leon, you're the king of nicknames. You know, I love my son Lily, but uh so yeah, I don't know if he's performing anymore in Aruba because he moved to Canada, he's moving to Canada for the record deal. I don't know how long he's gonna be there for, but if he is in Aruba and you get a chance to go see him, guys, go. I hope Alfie's is still open. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Absolutely, I hope so.
SPEAKER_01He's done close, they got really good chicken sandwiches there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and why would they close?
SPEAKER_01I don't know, because um if Amal moves as well, who's gonna run the business? I mean, the husband is still there, but yeah.
SPEAKER_02I mean, Amal has not been there for like a while now, and the Alfie's been running. Oh, I've no, I haven't been there in a while. I've been there in a year. Yeah, no, I have. Amal has been not here.
Chaos Cafe Assault And Community Anger
SPEAKER_01Oh, shed. Yeah, focusing on Niam. George Clooney only. Incorrect. Anyway, but speaking of also active mirror, I mean, we're a little late to this story. Um, did you hear about the whole happening at Chaos Cafe? Yes.
SPEAKER_02I didn't hear like all the time.
SPEAKER_01I was gonna say, like, why are you saying it with a smile? No, yo, no, no, no, first you make joke about my dead mom last week. Now you're thinking about laughing. You're horrible.
SPEAKER_02No, it's not that. It's not that.
SPEAKER_01So I don't know the whole story myself. I only know based on what a mall posted online, and some people in the community told me, like, you know, what happened? Um, we're kind of late to the story, but basically, if you guys don't know, the drummer of Actimator got beat up in Chaos Cafe. Apparently, it was an issue with somebody from uh, I don't know, which bat your gang? Spike, and that's Spike.
SPEAKER_02Oh shit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he had an issue with one of them because apparently, again guys, this is all the stories that I've been hearing.
SPEAKER_02So I don't know all the facts. It's on Facebook, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Everybody's on Facebook, but everybody's but what I mean is like I'm not saying like like you told me, so I'm saying that's the fact. I've heard the same story from multiple different people that are not even in the same circle about a guy who everybody already knows had what went viral last year for really being abusive or verbally abusive with his kids.
SPEAKER_02I think it's Dwight Jimenez, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So apparently he's the one that started the whole fight with the drummer.
SPEAKER_02Why is he always in something?
SPEAKER_01He brought in more people of his bike gang to beat him up. Apparently, he like broke three of his teeth. And I don't know, I don't know the whole details. All I know is he ended up in the hospital.
SPEAKER_02Allegedly, guys. We're just gonna say allegedly, because you know.
SPEAKER_01Apparently, one of the guys that beat up the kid was the leader of the gang as well, who happens to be the driver of Ministry Justicia of Dowers.
SPEAKER_02Oh, that's why I saw them attacking uh uh Minister Dowers about eight your driver was in a fight. Oh my god, why do people do this thing? You know who you work for. Why would you put yourself in these positions?
SPEAKER_01Um what about Scooter saying wow, MAP is gonna have a field day with this?
SPEAKER_02Oh, they're gonna put up. Yeah, they're just gonna, oh, they just give them more ammo.
SPEAKER_01Like, hey, well, I think what the cost must have must be pumbo kone.
SPEAKER_02See, this is why you need to hire professionals too for your for your uh whatever position you can.
SPEAKER_01Do a background check on people.
SPEAKER_02Stop hiring your friends. Stop hiring your friends. I don't feel bad for you. Sorry, Minister. Now look.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Don't think you can drive for the minister, but you can't hide behind the minister. Like, what? But then you understand, like, I'll I'll be fine. I'll be broke.
SPEAKER_03No, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And guys, maybe you don't know who this kid is. I've met him a few times. He is the most quiet kid that like if if he was sitting in this room, he could be sitting right there. We wouldn't even fucking know. He's super introverted, quiet, he's a really good drummer.
SPEAKER_02But that's the I feel like that's the band in general. Like Liam even is in like uh I'm in your face. I think the whole crew is like very much like later vaccine. Yeah, don't talk to us. We're like vampires. Like, please leave us alone. No light. Like, so they're not troublemakers.
SPEAKER_01No, they're not. They're not, they're super, super, super nice people. Apparently, the whole thing was because Dwight had an issue with him because he texted Dwight's ex-girlfriend once a year ago. And apparently he's been stalking this guy for over the year. Showing up to his he used to work at Bula, showed up at Bula, like just like walking around, like throwing words at him. Yeah, not throwing words from people that used to work at Bula telling me this as well. When they were working there, this guy would just stand outside, come inside, say a few things, like fucked up things.
SPEAKER_02Bula allegedly, y'all need some black people to work out in there because that could have never happened. How do you mean you're gonna come in with my workplace and disrespect my collega? Mm-mm. But um colega stamba kawaii, of course. Uh wait, that is crazy. Yeah, yeah. How do you go to people's workplace and look for trouble with people? I think that is like some of that is like I don't know, one of the worst things you can do. This is where somebody makes their money, this is where somebody feeds their family. How do you go at somebody's workplace? How do you have the time for that? With the intent like for that as well.
SPEAKER_01Why do you have the time?
SPEAKER_02How old are we? No, I'm good. I'm mad. That's what that is. I even feel shit. Cause get the fuck out of here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. If you guys know more of this story, comment down below because I mean that no something fully from a shongan. We're just going based off like people on Facebook, people that I've spoken to. But at the end of the day, bati un guy, like five dudes beating up a skinny little kid that all he likes to do is like play the drums. Because he act he texted your ex-girlfriend that's not even with you anymore. It's like you only know how to pick on a little guy.
SPEAKER_02But the cops, like, what what what do cops do? You know what?

SPEAKER_01I fully agree.
SPEAKER_02Because, like, how much strikes or how many people need to say, like, hey, this guy's a problem before they can actually do something community-wise? Like, like, hey, this guy's a threat to community because he's going to people's jobs and like what needs to happen in order for you, like, I give it a kid.

SPEAKER_02Anyway, so blow up my ego. Thank you. While I was doing this, right? While he was in a street. I was thinking, like, goddamn, like you really raised the bar very high for like the next person that I have to be in a relationship with. Huh? I know, I know, right? Relationship in general, why are you even bringing this up? I'm just saying, like, if I have to be in a relationship, like the bar is set really high because, first of all, you took me on so many first trips. Because of no filter, of course. Guys, we're not in a relationship at first. We're not. We're not.
SPEAKER_00We're not.
SPEAKER_02But you set this the bar really high because you gave me a lot of like first trips. School, I didn't know this. Yeah. I've never been to Holland if it wasn't for no filter. I've never been to Bonnear, it wasn't for no filter. Um, my Kirosel trips, old enough and wise enough, I wouldn't have done half of the things it wasn't for no filter. I feel like even if for Aruba, if we have to just very talk, like even like in general, most of the people that we've dealt with, I probably wouldn't have dealt with them if it wasn't for no filter. Yeah. In general. Yeah. So the bar to me, I was just looking back, I was like, damn, like if I have to date somebody, like Sam gives me everything that I want. I'm like, whoa, hey, yo. Not in that sense. Yo, but like if I want something, you'll be like, gosh, if you're gonna clip this part, put the whole clip. All right. Yeah. Only just that part, please. But like if I need something, you'll be like, hey, I'm going to the states. Like, if you need anything, just let me know. Hey, um, I'm gonna do this thing. Like, if you need anything, just let me know. That's me. That's me, you know. I I you always make sure like I'm good.
SPEAKER_01Or like everybody around me, like, hey, I know you need something. Like, and hey, I know you've been looking for this. Like, it could be anybody. I'm going to the states. Like, if you still need it, let me know. I'll bring it down for you. That's just it's funny because we just had this conversation before we started recording, and I said, like, I always put everybody else like needs before myself. I don't know where the conversation went afterwards, but like I can't remember.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, yeah, yeah. All those things I was thinking, I was like, oh my god, I'm so grateful for you. Like, for real, for real. Just in general, I really am very grateful for you.
SPEAKER_01Thank you.
SPEAKER_02I just wanted to let you know that. Thank you. I don't know what to say.
SPEAKER_01I don't have to say anything.
SPEAKER_02I get I get like weird. You don't have to say anything. Like, it's just I appreciate your dumb ass sometimes. Thank you. All the time.
SPEAKER_01Well, I appreciate you too.
SPEAKER_02Oh, because we were talking about your brain a while ago.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_02And I was saying I appreciate your brain and your heart.
SPEAKER_01Because I'm stupid sometimes. I forget shit. You know, I forget a lot. So please don't like it. Your stupidity is my creativity.
SPEAKER_02It it it's what makes the Sam that we love.
SPEAKER_01I don't know if that's a good thing or an insult. I don't know, but we'll figure out.
SPEAKER_02You know what? Listen, it is what it is, like it works for us.
SPEAKER_01I I cannot lie that no filters also open certain doors for me, or at least um got me into contacts with certain people, or like, at for example, I'm not even gonna like when my car got hit. The person that opened the door, like, ha, no filter, me.
SPEAKER_02Yes.
SPEAKER_01And shout out to the guy, I forgot your name, because it happened over a year ago. But uh, this guy like helped me out, make sure I got help, like, hey, so he was on top of everything. Um, I'm sure because of no filter, we I've also been to Curace multiple times before No Filter, but it was always hosting festivals, it was always hosting parties, so I was always there 48 hours. I fly in, I host. Get the fuck out. Either I leave the next day or I stay the next day for half my day, I'm hungover in my bed, and I just go off from there, and then the next day in the or later at night I'm out. So I never got to enjoy um Curaçao. And thanks to no filter, like I know the first time we went it was like four days. That was literally in and out. We were in there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we we didn't understand what it was.
SPEAKER_01Did you know it was our first trip? It was our first, was it our first trip abroad as no filter?
SPEAKER_02I want I think so. Curaçao was the first?
SPEAKER_01No, I think Holland.
SPEAKER_02Holland was the first.
SPEAKER_01Because we did Chica again, the second time in Curaçao. Oh no, that was season two. I'm confused now.
SPEAKER_02I'm trying to think what was season one. It don't matter.
SPEAKER_01The point I'm trying to make is like because of no filter, we get to go longer to these trips, and I actually get to enjoy Curaçao. I get to meet people like Miles and his whole crew. I get to meet other people, get to see other friends that I haven't seen in a while in Curacao. So those are all you know really fun times. And for Bonaire, that was actually my first full last time I was in Bonaire, I was a kid. What do I know? I I went for baseball, yeah, and that's it. I don't I have no memory of uh Bonaire until now. And people can say whatever they want. Bonaire the laugh, Bonaire the Nadi Hasi, brother. That's actually the best part about it. I love it. It was so like it's funny because we just talked about this, I think, yesterday at lunch with some friends from Canada. They live here six months out of the year, and we talked about like, hey, let's go to Bunaire or or Curaçao for a weekend. Just like actually like vacation, no, yeah, no, no bullshit on nada. But like I was like, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to relax, like a man in Bonaire is like up here. Curacao is like there's food, also beaches, but or tranquility, but nothing compares to Bunaire. Um so I going back to what I was saying earlier, I'm also grateful for no felder and like all the things that it brings. Like one one email, prime minister sits here. One email, Tisa is sitting here, Ronela is sitting here. They help us, and we have like access to them in a way that I think a lot of people don't have access. Not that we abuse it or it's not a flexic thing, but it's more like, hey, Ronella, I need a certain information about this, like, where can I get it? Instead of going through like 50 channels and like one quick message, like, okay, at the link and they understand what it's for, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So they under, they under, they they want to be part of the helping process. So and I feel like the platform created such a trust in the community that I agree.
SPEAKER_01Listen, we don't get 20,000 views. I mean, we don't we don't boost any of our any of our stuff, so whatever you see there is is actual people like watching our show, and it can vary, guys. It could vary from 700 views up to like 5,000 views. It all depends on the topic. Yeah, to be honest, it does. And there are some changes that are gonna come. Things that Shark wants to do that he hasn't said anything about yet. We can't talk about it yet until it's like concrete, but if that does happen, it'll be fucking awesome. I don't know if you want to bring it up or no.
SPEAKER_02I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I have some I have some meetings spending today. I texted a few people, so big news coming from Shark in a few months. If you're gonna hear about it, it's gonna be here first. No, no radio bullshit, no. I'm sorry. Are releasing information on this show first, and then go on your way to the radio and tell the world, okay? You can't be saying shit before there's no filter. Agree.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, that's an NDA.
SPEAKER_01No, there's no NDA here. I'm just saying, you were super grateful about No Filter. Time to check cash in. You better say that shit. It's crazy stuff. That's great for him and great for No Filter, too.
SPEAKER_02Listen, it's it's it's it's something I'm working on. I mean, I've said it before, so it's not like uh like it's a big secret, but it's it's but people don't know.
SPEAKER_01Well, can I keep it a secret?
SPEAKER_02You got my support for it. I'm on board with it. Yeah, I'm on board for sure. Oh, I almost spoil it.
SPEAKER_01No, anyways, is there anything else?
E-Scooters Safety Rules And Enforcement
SPEAKER_02Anything help, anything else happening that we should um, but I mean like there's stuff that we want to talk about more. So um we're gonna get back into because I feel like we stopped with it. And I feel like the reading the comments thing, yeah, it was kind of nice. I liked it. Like, I like going through some comments, but um right now I see we see like one of the hot topics was the scooters things.
SPEAKER_01Apparently, he lost that that battle makes sense.
SPEAKER_02I I never talked about it, not even on a radio because I still I didn't do my research on it to see like what was the issue to begin with. You call it how did they fight?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and then I'm pretty sure you follow the story. I'm pretty sure the ones who were fighting were the people who actually brought down the scooters. I like yo, you just put me out of business overnight because you didn't you know.
SPEAKER_02But that's why originally, like speed and them were talking about it on um Infoke about these scooters are not paying ballasting and they're what really I don't know. So I that's what I'm telling you. I I didn't talk about it because I did not follow the story from the beginning to the end to understand, like, okay, this is what happened. I just saw one day random. My mom was watching Infoke, and I just randomly overheard it. And I saw as they were talking about Happy Mom, by the way. Thank you, thank you. And they were talking about um these scooters are Peligar Papa Kaminda, and they're just driving in the road, they're not driving on the side, they should be only for a designated area. I don't understand. And then after that, like a few weeks, then I saw I heard them again, and then they were like, Yeah, um, finally now, because a lady got like an accident by day eye over by Wendy's Boulevard. I saw something like somebody got like an accident.
SPEAKER_01I'm not gonna lie, when I drive past one of them, I'm always like, please don't become pasta devo. Like, I don't, I it crosses my mind. Like, I'm just looking at them like you're not here, like a little hole, and then I'm like, here we go. That's fucked up.
SPEAKER_02But like it's an accident though.
SPEAKER_01But I know, but I do agree with you. I don't have all the information, but you just assume me opinion. I think it's I think the scooter bikes are fine, just on the sidewalk. Don't don't drive it on the street. But the Sabana drive all the because a lot of Americans don't know the rules. They barely they already have car accidents. Now you want to drive a scooter on the street. Um there's people I know people that when I used to work at Gusto, you would I will see you today, you come back tomorrow, your whole face is scrap. What happened? I fell off the east the little scooters. Like people like their face got all fucked up. Oh shit. So people like they they uh drunk driving, but drunk, whatever.
SPEAKER_02Speeding.
SPEAKER_01I don't know what you want to call that. Um, but like I I get it. The whole part of the park of ballasting is that'll be messed up though. So I I do hope if that's the case, and hey, leave the e-scooters, fine on the sidewalk. You can't be on the road if you do get a fine and make sure they're paying ballasting.
SPEAKER_02I think they were also saying like they can't they shouldn't be on like highways, like they should be like a designated area for like inside. So inside maybe the main street of downtown, inside like the main streets of like Palm Beach, but but on the app itself, on the app itself, there's a you you control where the scooters work.
SPEAKER_01So the it comes to it comes to you can't just drive anywhere you want.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but that's the thing. It's it is I guess it's allowing them to drive on the main road. So that's why you're driving on the main street and you're seeing these fucking things is just driving next to you. It's like, yo, you shouldn't be here.
SPEAKER_01Like, we're speeding here. Like, you know. So I don't I don't know. I my my second thought was like, okay, who owns these companies? Now I started thinking like it's kind of like we're gonna go after like you know, but I'm just trying to see how far this goes.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. I really don't. I again I never followed the story from the beginning.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you're traveling, I got it. Am I wrong?
SPEAKER_02You're traveling, you're partying, having a great time, living like lavish. I really did. I'm not gonna lie. That was the shit. Shout out to Miles.
SPEAKER_01Happy birthday, Miles. Sorry I couldn't come to the party.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you didn't want to come, so remember you told me that. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's the difference? That's the fucking lie. Sam, you said fuck Miles, you're not gonna go. Because what did you say again? Absolutely nothing. Yes, you said something. I remember you saying that you're not gonna go.
SPEAKER_01Start laughing because I'm not even fucking joking. I would never say that say that. I literally said on the radio, I was living through everybody's Instagram story.
SPEAKER_02That was after. I'm talking about before.
