Curaçao Chaos, Omar Steve’s 50th & What’s Next for No Filter | EP 260

What was supposed to be a quick Curaçao trip turned into a full-on content sprint. 🇨🇼🎥

In this episode of No Filter in Paradise, we’re back home breaking down everything that happened behind the scenes — filming a full Curaçao season, juggling last-minute changes, extending the trip, keeping the weekly podcast moving, and dealing with the reality of producing a lot of content with a small team.

We also talk about the Romeo Santos and Prince Royce press conference at Papagayo and why the level of production, hospitality, transportation, staging, and overall organization really stood out to us. It sparked a bigger conversation about what Aruba can learn when it comes to hosting media, artists, major events, and creating better press experiences.

Back in Aruba, we recap the Vap vap Eats anniversary, talk about food delivery habits and prices, celebrate **Omar Steve’s 50th birthday**, and get into the growing buzz around **Privada Suites**.

Plus, we look ahead at upcoming guests, including **Iberostar JOIA Aruba**, new community-focused conversations, and some changes we’re experimenting with for No Filter — from recording at different locations to more collaborations around the island.

A little Curaçao, a little Aruba, food, events, birthdays, business, behind-the-scenes chaos, and plenty of No Filter opinions along the way.

And one that I did see coming out of Leftfield, um, we're gonna have a conversation with Joya, Ibeotostar. I was there, I was there for a meeting. We went to have a conversation with them and just to see, like, hey, you guys wanna come on the show? Because like sometimes they get a lot of heat here and there, like they attack them a lot. Because they do have like I think two more resorts than they're gonna do. So it's as it's like a back and forth, but they're gonna come on the show. So, guys, be panning. Make sure you follow us on Instagram because we're gonna be posting them, and then you can submit your questions to what you want to ask Iberostar Joya, kind of like the same company. And hopefully, I don't know, maybe maybe we might be getting the owner as well. I don't know if I told you that part.

We had lunch, walked around the property, they showed us they had they got a really cool, I don't want to say too much because they we're gonna talk about it, but they have this really cool room about the size of this studio, actually. And they use that to kind of like give back to NGOs.

They don't charge you, just come on, come on in. Well, there's a lot of stuff you can use. It looks like a big classroom. There's a lot of like um like a wall where things you can flip, like you see a draquil and you flip it over, you see information about it. You see, I didn't even know Aruba had four different uh um turtles. Yes, I know Draquil, I know the one that I see popping up at the beach. Leatherback.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

I go and order a drink, I got a little Aperol Spritz, and I go like hey, quite though. Uh-huh. I'm like, I'm just I'm not gonna assume it's free. Like, they're like, nah, bros, it's free. I'm like, oh, can I get one? Can I get one more? That's what they were running. They were running low on soda, soda water. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We should bring them back. You know, we should look back and see who we should bring back on the show.

SPEAKER_01 24:12

Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:13

Because I think we had some really cool guests. We were also in the beginning stages, so we didn't really know.

SPEAKER_01 24:18

Yeah, we didn't know how to like do it the right way. Bro, we were ratchet. We hell hell yes, we were. And y'all know that's why y'all motherfucking loved us too. Because it was the ratchet scene. But it was good. It was good. Like, that's why people when people are like, see, but at some point, it's not King Maspe interviewing Aruba. I was like, um, no, there's a lot of people that we haven't even touched the seal of Aruba.

SPEAKER_00 24:42

I think I think even I've said it like at some point we're gonna run out of the guest. Yeah, you said it too. I was like, we're gonna run out of guests. But we can we can always bring it's just like no filter eats. Like we can like what's it what you guys are doing?

SPEAKER_01 24:51

And look, we haven't even still not even half of it.

SPEAKER_00 24:54

We're still within two percent of Aruba's food food uh not even two, maybe still one percent.

SPEAKER_01 24:59

So it's impossible. I don't believe in that. Sorry. We're gonna have to at some point even fucking pass the torch. Like, hey, listen, we can't keep up with this shit. Like anyone anyone takes chair?

SPEAKER_00 25:10

Anyone take that chair?

SPEAKER_01 25:11

SPEAKER_00 25:17

True.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

This chair, like going nowhere.

SPEAKER_00 25:19

Yeah, no, we're gonna be old, white beard, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

New Recording Locations And Gear Talk

SPEAKER_00 25:58

No, but um you also I wanna I want to say you guys are gonna see some some changes coming up as well.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

Um oh, I was like, I thought you're telling telling me, I'm like, you guys, who's here with me?

SPEAKER_00 26:09

I'm talking to the camera. Yeah, we're gonna see some changes. We want to experiment with a few things, it's just like change up the vibe. I was just thinking about this yesterday because we want to like do different locations here and there, and I was like, damn, we should definitely collab with Private States, do a few podcasts inside of Privado. And Omar is hell yeah for that. He's like, I don't even have to ask him, just show up. Hey, Cor Camara Bashipa Kiko, get up. Okay, camera. He's down for whatever.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Always down to support.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

So the the the question then becomes do we do we do it inside of one of the rooms or do we do it like by the pool, just chilling in the lounge with a Aperel spritz?

SPEAKER_01 26:44

Um, okay, so we gotta focus on if it's a solo, if it's a guest. All of that, but the cam, the equipment, like can it withhold being outside in the sun and all of that?

SPEAKER_00 26:56

You know, yeah, because I had a conversation with Michael Fowler, and he shoots, he does the recordings for Moto for Authentico, and he shoots outside. Like same my same camera, same everything. It just puts it outside and it withstands the heat.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

So if we did one podcast episode, y'all, we we have like new management direction that we're working on. Now we have official departments, and that is not in my department. So do your big one.

SPEAKER_00 27:25

That's me.

SPEAKER_00 27:26

I'm like production manager, half motherfucking fun.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

Yeah, for next. We got different places, different spots.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

Because we can switch it up, make it nice. Like, you never know what the next episode is gonna be like.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

Yeah, catch us in the parking lot. Y'all need to start paying for us to come do some spots, some stuff at y'all's spots. Yeah, facts. You be like, hey, yo, I want y'all to come promote my say less. We can do a podcast in a supermarket, we can do a podcast wherever y'all want us to do it. We're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_00 28:07
