 The Malaysian police have asked Interpol to help locate comedian Jocelyn Chia in America I guess the question is what do they want with her and is this just going too far man? Yeah, man. This is going viral I can't believe we're talking about this case again But it just keeps going viral for one reason or another long story short The Malaysian police publicly came out and said that they hit up Interpol to see if they could question Jocelyn Chia in New York Because they're thinking about charging her with an incitement and public mischief law Andrew That carries a two-year jail sentence to Malaysia So do they have a case? Absolutely not it's because Jocelyn Chia is not a Malaysian citizen And she did not tell the joke in Malaysia. So actually there's absolutely no case There's no extradition laws between US and Malaysia, but you know, they said it So did Interpol aka the international police criminal organization the people that are responsible for finding international serial killers terrorists arms dealers bad guys What did they say in response to this? Well, they said to be honest guys Nobody even contacted us, but to be honest, we probably wouldn't even take this request. All right, everybody There's a whole comment section that we're gonna go through a lot of different perspectives here This is the news. We're not here to offend anybody, but we're here to cover it So please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys as we talk about this and what people are saying The first comment was have they want Interpol to try to track her down. I mean, she's in New York case solved I mean somebody a lot of people were just saying what the eff man the Malaysian government is making themselves a joke Somebody said I'm Malaysian myself and this is totally embarrassing for us on the world stage. I don't like her jokes I think she is lacking character, but this is way too far I think that's pretty fair like if you're offended by the joke if you think it's not good to have that joke on the internet I mean, I would even say like there's a way to get her to scrub the internet of it You know so that it's not posted I know she took it off her IG because her Instagram is down and everything like that But yeah to try to track her down even to question her about anything other than the fact that Why'd you make that joke? Hey, I don't want people to hate Malaysia. It's just our government going to fall out Malaysia is a fine country I like living here. I'm Malaysian and just because the Malaysian police said that I don't know if that's necessarily a direct order from the Malaysian government I don't know if the Malaysian government is here just fake caring or do they really care I don't know somebody just said man. What is going on in Asia? They're just tripping over a joke. Why are they so sensitive and a lot of people in the West we acknowledge this in the previous video They just cannot wrap their head around this right like a lot of people in the West are just like wait What yeah, I want they did what and then now they're asking the inter poll what no No, I want to defend people who are offended by this joke for a second because I think that When you take it out of context out of the comedy seller in New York City And you place it on the international stage it does mean something different All right, it does do a little bit something there It shouldn't do a lot and it shouldn't have a big impact and it shouldn't incite rise It shouldn't incite and and and bring up some underlying beef and reignite it and it shouldn't turn into anything That is ridiculous to think it does but But people can be offended because you know they have to live in those countries Yeah, this next comments were a man if the Malaysian government doesn't like Jocelyn Chia Why are they making her so famous? She is gonna be 10 X to 100 X more successful now because they keep putting her name out there And she even how to tweet herself being like thank you guys for helping me write my new Netflix special it writes itself Yeah, I mean this is a crazy amount of drama and she is definitely more famous after this and Yeah, I don't know We'll see if if Netflix puts out her special and then if the Malaysian government blocks Netflix for that reason Right or if they don't even air on the Malaysian version of Netflix because different countries do get different content pool or black black males Netflix is like and Netflix if you want to post Jocelyn Chia special We don't want Netflix in Malaysia at all. That would be crazy to turn it into this Hey versus West thing. I don't know somebody said well, why are they trying to check Jocelyn Chia? Why don't they just track the missing flight and a lot of people were just like listen guys Malaysia has to clean up its act and then maybe people won't joke about you I mean long story short Andrew Do you think it's true that things that get joked about a lot like they give a lot of ammo to the other side? Whether it's fair or unfair. I mean a lot. We know I mean as um, you know We're Chinese American people joke a lot on China But I have to admit that China gives them a lot to work with yeah for sure man. It's just like joking about anybody It's like it happens enough so that people see it It may not the numbers or the statistics might not be always there But what people observe and what people feel is how they're gonna make that's the perception I'm gonna make jokes about it like people make jokes about the pre-existing perception right or else Obviously if you make a joke about a non pre-existing perception the audience won't laugh Yeah, you have to make jokes about pre-existing general observations that general people understand somebody said it shows How lucky we are to be in the USA where we have the freedom of speech and the bill of rights Do you think in moments like this you go? Oh man, it really is different over there. Yeah, and it's true you know with America's a First amendment of being able to save freedom of speech it does allow Jokes to go harder like jokes hit hard in America man. That's the type of comedy out here It's roasting you roasting the politicians roasting your moms roasting dead people You can roast anybody somebody said and this regards to Malaysia But also the recent cancelization of Uncle Roger in China Andrew Why do countries want capitalism and the good parts of Western society along with the products But then they want to keep authoritarian government systems David. Do you believe that those things are? Not mutually exclusive like you if you have capitalism and business then you have to have freedom of speech and democracy I actually think you can have a mixed system. I mean everybody just sets up their systems However, they set it up. They feel like they can the pros and cons and they have to live with it But yeah, it is interesting because with capitalism Inevitably there is a clash right because especially when you import like Western style capitalism It's gonna come with some more traits of freedom of speech, but those countries might not have that I don't know. I think there's plenty of countries that are doing well that do not have freedom It's like I'm pretty sure it's place like Dubai has plenty of capitalism Yeah, maybe it has a lot more to do with the execution than actually what you just say you do or do not allow Somebody said the government is overreacting on purpose to look like they care the Malaysian government doesn't actually care And there was a bunch of conspiracy theories actually surrounding the the downing of the plane itself to all these internal Clockwork things that obviously in America Andrew We're not thinking too much about like the internal workings of the Malaysian government But you know, there was a ton of comments about yeah Somebody said durian is an export from Malaysia. That is the true crime. That fruit is a weapon of mass destruction Long story short Andrew Jocelyn Chia also left a comment that was pulled as an excerpt from a From an interview she did where she said, you know Americans They just like harsher edgier humor and in Asia they just can't take it and I did some research Andrew There's technically four styles of humor two of them are nice and more relatable to our kind of more harsh and edgy in Asia They tend to like affiliative and self-enhancing humor in the West They like self-defeating and aggressive humor in Asia. It's probably like a 80 20 split in terms of the more like nicer styles in America It's like 70 30 more towards the meaner styles So I mean is this just like show a huge cultural difference because there's four styles of comedy But in Asia they use two of them way more than in the West. Yeah, no, I mean I think so again, you know Not every country that speaks English has the same type of humor or Tolerance for jokes guys and and that's a cultural difference. I don't blame Malaysia I don't think the entire globe has to have the American sense of humor. I think that different countries run on different Freedom of speech is not a lot of other countries not not America are way more tradition Yeah, you can't make every country like America, but I think that reaching making this an international thing is a little bit stepping too far, but anyways guys overall my takeaway is this I think a Stronger statement from the Malaysian government would just be like we are banning Jocelyn Tia from performing or entering Malaysia Like boom and then like just saying that is a cold quick way to discipline someone I'm not saying they should do that by the way I think the banning of her passport would actually still be a pretty big deal on a national stage Yeah, but I'm just saying like you just do that Don't don't make it this thing like all the Malaysian piece as the International police organization because it almost becomes like the international people and the resources versus Malaysia now where they're like I don't want to do your poll bro That's like what what Ethan Hawke from from Mission Impossible and and James Bond and all these secret agents That's who they deal with is Interpol. That's where I hear about. Oh, you know Interpol That's a it's the it's the police organization that rules the world is crazy You mean they're gonna pop up at Asian ology our comedy show and be questioning Jocelyn. I mean Long story short man. I definitely think that it's very interesting in this internet day and age You don't really know what's real outrage Fake outrage and fake outrage that gets stoked to the point because they could see some sort of incentive for it to you Know push their agendas that turns into real outrage It's all very very gray and it's very unclear. Also, Andrew Do you think the comedy's dying? So whether or not people on the left are offended by an offensive joke or somebody on the right? Like Trump is mad that SNL is roasting him all the time Does it feel like comedy has more parameters on it now than it used to? Yes and no I feel like comedy is kind of coming back. So I guess it'll be interesting I do think maybe Jocelyn wants to rethink saying that joke again ever I don't think she needs to say that joke again because I think the joke got a lot of views and made its impact already Just tweak it though. I don't think you should let that make you gun shy for the rest of your life You know in terms of by the way when I say gunshot, I'm literally just talking about jokes, right, right, right? Yeah, I don't know. I guess I guess we'll just see time will tell and Obviously, I think you know people just to take a step back, you know It was a joke, but she's not setting out to have some like International campaign against Malaysia. That's not what her career is about and that's not what she's gonna make it about I mean, these are comedians not politicians and Jocelyn Andrew was actually born in America So, I don't know guys. Let us know what you think of the comment section below It's going viral right now with a hot pot boys until next time we out. Peace
