TRGGRD!

When someone says “joke lang,” is it really just for laughs… or is there always something behind it? Let’s talk about it in this episode of TRGGRD! with comedians GB Labrador and Nonong Balinan of The KoolPals.

GB and Nonong unpack the gray area between punchline and parinig, breaking down how jokes can come from real feelings, real insecurities, and real experiences you don’t always say out loud. They get honest about using humor as a shield, a coping mechanism, and sometimes even a subtle way to tell the truth without fully admitting it. Is humor just comedy—or is it low-key confession disguised as laughter?

This episode was recorded at Vault—the hidden bar tucked inside Titto’s Latin BBQ and Brew—so make sure to catch this episode, promise sasakit ang tiyan at panga n’yo kakatawa!
