Ari Shaffir's Epic Journey: The Day I Left w/Guest Host Ari Matti | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

The host is planning an immersive, seven-to-eight-month backpacking journey through South America, beginning in Mexico’s Oaxaca and moving through Guatemala, Belize, and into Uruguay and Chile. Central to the trip is a desire to disconnect from routine life, reduce stress, and experience authentic cultural and natural landscapes—such as solstice celebrations, remote beaches, and the Amazon rainforest. The itinerary includes specific stops like Lake Atitlán and Machu Picchu, with a focus on meaningful, locally rooted experiences rather than commercialized tourism. While the host is excited by the adventure, they openly express concerns about safety, scams, political instability, and cultural hostility—especially in regions with cartels. They also highlight personal anxieties around losing travel documents, logistical challenges, and the difficulty of re-adjusting back to daily responsibilities. Despite these fears, the trip represents a significant step toward personal freedom and self-discovery. The host emphasizes a balanced approach, combining adventure with comfort, including stays in reputable hotels and planned hikes. Cultural experiences, such as attending parties in Buenos Aires or exploring Medellín’s vibrant scene, are key to the journey. Ultimately, the trip is framed as a transformative experience that blends travel, self-reflection, and a deep connection to the world’s diverse cultures.

♪ Where you been and where you goin' ♪ ♪ This is our Reese Travel Show, yeah ♪ ♪ We're gonna talk about travel today ♪ ♪ It's you be trippin' yeah ♪ - Welcome to "You Be Trippin' Everybody." This is a travel podcast. Every week I go to a different place, pretty much. Once in a while we do a theme episode. My guest interviewer today. - Go host. - You're host. - You're official. - I host it. - There's no more Tom Sigour on "Burt." - Yeah, I'm the unfortunate double. - This is mine now. - The double heart attack having happened just last week. - Yeah. - "Burt's" obviously from "Fatness," Tom from "Noverdose" in "Iowaska" and they both go on long with the kings and we're back. - We're back. - R.A. Squared. So I'm taking this trip. That's what we're gonna do this episode. I'm taking this backpacking trip. R.E. has been on this podcast before. He did a visa's episode. So this is gonna be a two-parter. I'm planning this backpacking trip. Would you've done on a larger scale? - No, we've both backpacked through the same locations. I haven't done Latin America either, like properly. - Yeah. So I'm doing this. Let's talk about what I wanna do is talk about what I'm planning and then we'll do another one I get back. Let's talk about kind of what happened. - Wait, give me a bit of parameters. Everyone's telling me different stories. One guy's telling me there, you're gonna be for 10 years in Guatemala. - 10 years in Guatemala, okay. - Like tell me the timeframe. - Well, what else do people say? - Let's see here, but let's see. - Oh yeah, I was telling him about before we started the camera's massive side beds. New York is super skeptical scene. They think you're back by the end of the summer. Like people are super skeptical. - By the end of the summer. - Yeah. Then there's over as others on whether you visit for a second or side beds, you know. That's what I'm banking on. I don't think you'll break. I believe in you. - What's I'm gone, I'm gone. Well, I mean on this, on the backpacking trip? I don't wanna come back in the middle. - Okay, so what's the timeframe? So I've heard different stories. - What have you heard? - Like till, well yeah, it's like one year and then you're moving to London to start an art degree. Then I've heard one about, you're gonna start a new festival in Dublin, Ireland. Yeah, then I heard a DMT clinic in Lake Atilante, Guatemala. - Lake Atilante, what do you call it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Atilante, what are the fuck? - I'm going till late February, early March, backpacking through South America. - See, that's what I'm saying. You're gonna do that. That's not even a year. That's literally like seven months. - Seven, eight months. - Yeah. - Which to be fair, in terms of like show businesses, just like any other job that, you know, it's not a lot of people can just take seven months off. So it is a risk. So that's why the skepticism is it wasn't it? - Yeah, when you talk to people who are like, what do you mean, you can't go more than a week? What do you do for, and so they can't even comprehend it. You can comprehend it. - Yeah, but I also have that it's like even for me, whenever I travel, like every year I do this, where I go next summer, four months in Brazil. I'll do jujitsu and I'll only speak Portuguese, you know? That's my, but then you start doing gigs and stand up, it always. - Yeah, life, you ever see revolutionary road? - Never. - The most depressing movie I've ever seen. It's about just like lost dreams and like not, always wanted to move to Paris, never got there. I got a promotion maybe next week, a little to next year, we've got to do this and then it just doesn't come to fruition. And it's so sad, it's your life, just go away. - But tell me about this, the-- - I met the guy who, Sam Endes, who is it? I met the director on an interview once. I'm an audition and he was like, I'm like, wait, I know your name, what have you done? And he said, I'm like, oh bro, you sent me into a five year depression. Like legitimately wanted to kill myself, 'cause of you. - Although the movie makes you want to kill yourself. - Is it Sam Endes? Who did revolutionary road? Okay, so what, so go ahead, what were you saying? - I don't know. - Okay, so this is the trip. - Okay, oh, oh, so, seven months I get it, but they each shall stand, I don't know, maybe for-- - No, it's hard, it's hard at the time. It's hard to carve out the time, for sure. But like, you can carve it out. - 100%, and I do get, dude, when you start telling me this plan, I started planning shit, I'm excited. 'Cause I don't have to go to the map until I reference it. Well, by the way, BTW. - I totally wanna do shit like this too. And Latin America just was the next plan for me too. And just before we started it, recording all the places to go first. In Latin America, we're all going to the same town. - That's where I'm gonna start. - It's so funny. - So my thought was, I wanna do, I'm kind of a hippie, I was gonna do solstice to solstice. You know what solstice is? - Like a. - Get there, get there with your words. - It's like, solstice is like, midsummer to midsummer. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the longest day of the year. - Exactly. - Okay, so now you can go to the map. - Huge in Estonia by the way. - So I wanna do this, the highest point. - Fuck, is that? - In North America. Uquiyagvic. Also known as Barrow. - Oh, so Barrow. - Also known as Alaska. - What? 24 hours of sunlight. - Yeah. - Did that already. - That's in Estonia and Finland too. It just happened. - Did they have it 24 hours though? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we have a, it's midsummer, yeah. - Does it, how high does it get? Is it the same? - No, we're not that high. - It's close to look. - It is, I don't know what we have. That's what I'm talking about, yeah. - Yeah, oh. - I'll do that next year. - And then I grew up in Northern Finland where there's a month of that, you know. - Wow. - That's what people go insane. - People go insane. - I get it, there's a lot of insanity here in Austin. - Okay, and then I wanna go all the way to the tip here. - What? - So this is six months? - Well, yeah, but I have to skip some. - What? - Well, I'm skipping all of Canada. I'm skipping all of United States. - And then I can see a tunnel in the middle. Okay, here we go. This is where the plan starts falling apart. - No. - I mean, I'm, okay, so. - This is what the comedians are talking about now. - Okay, all right, yeah. - Correct me anywhere. So this is where I'm starting. This is where I wanna start. - And-- - Oaxaca. - Nier Oaxaca, but in this bay of beaches, called Watuka. - So you wanna go to Puerto Escondido. - Pluraceneros is the tourist spot. - It is. - So I don't wanna do that. - So you wanna do that Metzcal or whatever the fuck. - Oh, Zipolita, yeah. - Zipolita. - Okay. - There's this Masunta. - Yeah, Masunta is the one I thought. - Is it with a nudist? - I think the other one is the one with the nudist. - Play Zipolita. So these are all like bays. - Yeah, that's where I'm going. - Yeah, there's a bunch of them. There's also an airport right here. - Watuka. - Watuka airport. Yeah, so I'm gonna fly there. All these like 20 minutes away. I don't know how you get when you land in a foreign place. I get scared. - What do you mean? - The outsiders, like they're gonna rob me or like hustle me or whatever. Until I get to my hotel and like get set and then like let me take a walk around. First day I'm like frightened. I don't wanna land somewhere at night. - Is it like an American thing that they all tell you how the outside world is trying to kill you, get you and everything? - Yeah. - It is, by the way. I've known a lot of people that the Americans, the first time they leave somewhere, they literally think it's like fucking, like some fucking Arnold Schwarzenegger movie where it goes into fucking Colombia. Collateral? - Collateral? - Collateral, you know? - Collateral. Collateral. - Collateral. - Collateral. - Collateral. - You've gotta blow up a fucking. - Anyway, it's like around there. So I wanna just go to one of these beaches. - Yeah, fuck yeah. - Just, here's my plan. - Go to the nudist one and show me. - I'll go to the nudist one for sure. 'Cause dude, listen, everyone is turned on by nudity but no one's seen balls like mine. So it shocks them. They're already going like, I'm gonna see some, you have a range of what you expect, you know? And then you see these fucking clackers, these knee clackers. And they're like, what? - Uh-huh. - Yeah, I try to mix it up and show people. - Yeah. Yeah, that's the plan. I'll start there. - That's so fun. You know what, I've been researching for the best. - That's so funny. That's one of the places you think it got. - Out of all the places, yeah. - Wow. So that book vagabonding up there? - He talks about it when you start traveling. He said, he says, "Get thee to a beach." And I never done it before, but that's what I wanna do. So what do you, say it again? - Get to a beach. - Yeah, oh dude, that's all you want. - Why? - I don't know, I'm a big ocean guy myself too. - I think just for the relaxing feel, just for like the lack of time. - I'm gonna clear my head of all the responsibilities here and all the fucking, I gotta do this, I gotta do that at a time. Like move, move, you gotta move, you gotta move, pacing. - The last break I took was maybe three years ago, I took three months in Thailand and bro, something went awry. - Oh, this? - Yeah, that's the one. - This is the airport, yeah. - I just couldn't stop thinking about stand-up. So, and I was just stressed. - What do you mean? - I don't know, I went for like three months, I was maybe I lasted for two months, I did like a month in Thailand and then a month in fucking Australia. - When was this? - Just like three years ago, that was my last like, like one that I did like that where I'm just planning. - And how long did it take you to feel like disconnected? - There were stretches, it just keeps coming, it's, it goes in and out, you know? - Yeah. - And it was just hard. I also did a dramatic mistake of like having all these devices near me, you know, I would still say a nice resource that had Wi-Fi, I would make it convenient. I didn't take enough chances, you know? - Yeah. - Okay, so that's what I'm doing. Get a new phone, dude. But Mexico's the nice start, nice beats relax, lower the blood pressure, breathe some ocean air, get a nice fucking Mexican torta, bring you a little corona. Yeah, you're on the beach. - That's America's, what do you know? - Sports club. - No. - No, it's like a random and submiss print. - Yeah, that's a fucking scam. They're like, "Yeah, we're here. Come check us out." - I'm got it, I'm got it. - Come get us. - Oh, no pictures, sorry. - One review. One review sports class. - This place may be close. - Oh yeah, I can confirm that. - They're literally selling organs and children. - So you get a nice beer. You get maybe a taco that's not the most ethnic taco, but they'll meet you halfway, it'll be a little westernized. - But this isn't, listen, there's one place down here that's for tourists and there's like eight places that is not for tourists. - We're talking about you're going to Latin America. You're going to do the jungle in Colombia. So this is what we're referring to. I'm saying, this is a nice crossover from a white western, so you need that. That's a great idea. I love that, I do that too. Like if I go to, like when I went to fucking, all of those towns near Tulum, you know, just to fucking visit those, I did that same. You go to can't go in for two days, just to relax. - Yeah. - You know. Hey guys, Brick and Indus today's episode to let you know a little bit about the guest Ari Matty. He is a non-citizen and I believe should be deported. All of his friends voted for Donald Trump in order to get him deported as a great prank and so far, Trump is not followed through in his promise with Ari Matty, so he's still here. And he's in Brookfield, Wisconsin this weekend. March 19th through the 21st, then Brea, California at the improv headliner. Look at this guy with his website, it's still sucks. I forgot if this is number four. He is the worst headliner. Oh, because he has killers of Keltoni. Just put your dates, idiot. El Paso, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado, Nashville, Tennessee, West Hollywood, California at the comedy store, and Austin, Texas at the comedy mothership. Well, he's a headliner, apparently. Get all tickets at AriMatty.com, ARI. It's just like my name, M-A-T-T-I dot com. Oh, and then La Jolla, California. Well, okay. He's also on Instagram at AriMatty Comedy. Follow him on there as he makes his journey back to wherever the fuck country is. Once Donald Trump gets off his goddamn ass and gets rid of this guy. So I can be back as the number one Ari in comedy. That's it, guys. I'm about to leave. Let's get back to the episode. Me and my incredible kind of nerve-wracking journey into the South. Let's go. Yeah, when I started at Myanmar, I was like, hotel one night, and then like, now let me go host those. Exactly. But let me get in, let me get safe. Okay, make my bed, whatever. And then like cool. So what I think I'm going to do is, this is the only one I'm going to get ahead of time, a hotel waiting for me for five days. Not a crazy, nice one, but a nice one. That's exactly what I'm doing. And so I can land and say, I'm going to this hotel, it's already set, put my bag down, it's not like, oh, you fall or whatever. Dude, when you land at the airport, and someone's waiting for you like this. Oh, no. Some little Mexican guy with a sign. You watch all the other tourists, they're all, you know. 'Cause it's all scams, you know? Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Master. Oh yeah, Mr. Mr. Mr. You the death. All these tourists, you know? Oh, yeah. 'Cause you don't know what is a scam, what is not Mr. Now drive Mr. Oh, don't Mr. go into a fucking van, they go straight, sell your organs in the face. You know what I'll do sometimes? You know I'll do sometimes when the airplane gets off, everybody goes and then goes out the double doors into the Mr. Measters. I'll stay inside and I'll wait for a while. I'll let them all blow out. And then they're all gone, no plane just landed. I'm waiting there for 35, 40 minutes. They all clear out, now I'm clean of the Measters. Now come out. But you know what happens now all the time. No, I don't know what that is. So what happens is you go fuck some for Mr. Measters, you go fuck you, you act like you know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm doing here. And then 45 minutes I go, Mr. and I go back then. Hey, are you the Mr. Guy? Yeah, I really actually do need a cab. I've had that so many times, I had that happen in Cancun where I'm like $100 downtown. Get the fuck, get the fuck out of my way. And then you can't exit the airport. There's like a closed area in Cancun where they don't let you out. And they're like, oh no, it's $100. No, no, they're like, yeah, this is, 'cause that's how, that's the system. Fuck. Anyway, so I'm gonna go there for, I decided until I feel relaxed. How do you see a hotel of Google? I've got one to it. It's a nice, the Barcelo Hotel. Over here. It is, oh, you mean down there, okay. I don't know. I've Google that Barcelo Hotel. Barcelo. 'Cause it's so close to the fucking, you get straight there, look at that. Yeah, look, you can, right from here. Mm-hmm. Wait, and then there's a second airport. That's kind of small. Yeah, this one is like with a propeller and it's actually, they sell your organs. So it's this one. And so you can go down through here or you can go around through there. So the Barcelo, and you have right there, you have this like nature area, which is also cool. Anyway, whatever. I'm gonna stay there. I'm not looking to see anything or do anything. You know that thing that Americans have of like, or what should we do on this trip? I wanna rid myself of that. I've never been that. You're not a man. It gives me so much fucking anxiety. Yeah. Yeah. But I do plan a little like, I just love looking at vibes. Yeah, you wanna see what's available. Should I want to do this? Yeah. But not like, I made a reservation at this restaurant. I made snorkeling reservations for this time. I don't wanna let you. But you never really know, you know. Sometimes people like, even with, even with the Kain Kuhn, I don't remember people like, that's the most touristy place ever. But I went like an hour out then. Shoot. To the cenotes. Yeah, so you never know. Anyway, okay, so you land here. So what's the plan next? So then, from there, I'm gonna go into Oaxaca. Once I feel relaxed between three and 15 days, I don't know. With the new highway. I heard about this place. Oh, no, somebody told me about that. So here's what I've been doing. So you mentioned the dots on the map, right? You made, I did mention the dots on the map. Before we started. Here's why I have those. Every time I've talked to anyone in the last two years, once I knew I was doing this trip, from anywhere there, I say, give me a recommendation. Give me your favorite bar in your town. Okay. Give me a fucking cool hike. Okay. 'Cause everybody's like, well, Buenos Aires. I'm like, I know. I know. Are you from there? What's your favorite bar? And they go, oh, this place has a Tuesdays, where they have a two-margarita Tuesdays. I'm like, okay, I'll mark that down. And so if I'm anywhere near it, then I can try to find it. Uh-huh. So this is my first place, San Jose de Pacifico. It's kind of where mushrooms were like kind of made popular in Latin America. That's on the way into Oaxaca. Yeah, Oaxaca has been super, like, the new hotspot amongst backpackers too. Really? Yeah, because it's like a very, the architecture, it's agriculture, it's super safe. There's no cartels. Yeah, I skip all the, I mean, Mexico City's all the way up here, but the cartel should, it's way up here. It is, yeah. So it's like, I don't want to go, I don't want to do that, and I want to be able to, you know, whatever. So tell me about, okay, so I-- So Oaxaca ended Chiapas, which I've only heard from in Guatemala, everyone's like Chiapas was the best, most fun place. Really? That's what they all were saying in Guatemala. Wow, okay, okay, okay. And then over, and then over into Guatemala. Uh. And then I don't know. Uh. Maybe Belize, maybe El Salvador. But in Guatemala, are you going to that lake at the Lante de Volcano thing? Yeah, I'll go back there, I've been there. I'm such a retard, I planned a trip there, but I had the same thing I had to cancel. And my friend that I was supposed to meet there went on such a piece of shit. He's like also a backpacking guy, you know? And we both planned, and he was there for three weeks on my recommendation, and he said it was magical. Just like I knew it was. Yeah. I've heard such a, that the volcano has magical energy. I've heard like that the community there is cool. It's hipsters. There's a lot. Yeah. Where's Oztitlan here? Uh. Yeah. There's all these different, whatever you want. So there's high level like influencers. I did learn. Yeah. So you can say it. Any of these things. Any of these things. And by the way, it takes like hours to get across. Yeah. It's not just a little lake. It is massive. It's massive. It's massive. Yeah. It's super beautiful. And also Guatemala City. I've heard it even. Cool. It's a great clear of it. Yeah. I heard it was dangerous. So it's like. I guess. I guess. I guess. Um. That's like the American dangerous, you know? Yeah. No, they were like Guatemala. So he's like being sitting out of there and teagot. They're like this one region. It's okay. The rest are like gangy. I don't know. Maybe. You'll join a gang. Yeah. Like, why a kill is like dangerous? In Ecuador. There's just a couple cities that are like shitty. So Guatemala also interest me. You know what else really interests me? Tell me if this is in your plan. Buenos Aires. Oh, yeah. I'm a super big Buenos Aires guy. I make you see a racist in Buenos Aires. So you know, if that's even like an option, you know that's like a thing you have to do now. They're playing Buenos Aires. They're playing São Paulo and they're playing. São Paulo would be crazy too. Yeah. And they're playing somewhere in Chile. Santiago. I want to see even one of those spots. Oh. Chile. I've heard it's awesome to us to work with a lot of Chileans. They were super cool. Also, uh, Argentinians. I used to work in Australia a lot. And they started showing me pictures of Buenos Aires, the parties. I remember I got really fascinated. The cycling there is big. Yeah. So here's what I'm going to do that I haven't really done before. Before when I went like Asia, when I met you. Uh-huh. It was hostile life. It was backpack alive. I was playing pretend or whatever. But here, I'm like, I'll definitely do a lot of hostels. But also, if I feel like staying in Buenos Aires and like going to a nice restaurant, I'm just gone. Moral. I'm going to like do nice things. If it's like, you know, I'm not going to do the $15 a day stuff. No, that backpacking shit. That's over for me too. Like in some sense that I also, yeah, there's amazing restaurants, cuisine. And if you can afford it, of course, take the experience, take the fucking rides. If you meet some, you know, sometimes people say like tour guides are hacked. But if you find that guy that's recommended. Yeah. Like I went to when I went to Tulum. Do I have a friend there? Who lived there for nine years and he goes contact this number, you know, you just contact him And it's a guy who gives you a quad bike, you know, ATV and we go to a cenote that's like three hours away It was like magical so it was also pricey, but if you have that option, there's nothing bad with that Same thing with hotels and restaurants absolutely dude the wine you're gonna have. I don't know if you're a big wine guy Oh, I'm endosa, right? What? Yeah, oh the whole day. Oh my God. I'm pretty excited about it. Sheila has amazing wine Are you going to look whoo-roo-roo or something? First country to legalize weed. No really ever yeah, really apparently it's backfire politically But so here's what I was thinking about Uruguay So I got to be down here for the solstice right in the December and then come back up There's a carnival they have all these different carnivals and they have a real low-level one in Uruguay In February, which is like more family oriented. I'd like that, but chill chill. I love chill. Yeah, and I kind of want to maybe do that So I'll definitely go to Uruguay. I've heard better things about it. Oh, I heard about this some guy outside the cellar told me about this place Tell me I marked is one of the first places. I'm on Paloma. No Cabapillonia. What the fuck is this? It is it is a hamlet. It has no Palonia has no roads leading to it Yeah, it said it gets no electricity What yeah, I love this wow now now this is what we're talking about. Yeah No electricity. Just a few places And you can just get oh my god, what wild horses. No, okay, so okay, so what's the problem? You're gonna Look at this. Okay. Anyway, so I want to go there. I'm so pirate. Yeah, I've just been hearing about these places What about Brazil or Colombia? I'm also fascinated. Never been to Colombia personally But that's also like a big highlight for me that I've read about Medellin so much Like everyone says yeah, dangerous all that but there's so much other shit around it No, here's what I'm excited about Medellin because I went there first Spanish class That's what I took spent my first Spanish classes in Curitiba supposed to be amazing. You know Curitiba. No, where's that it's like a shore in Brazil It's where State of Panama, Brazil. We're going to start hearing first about because they're fucking shoot the box camp is there It's like a kickbox in gym, but a lot of backpackers have told me it's actually really cool vibe Okay, hold on You can get it from South America Rex hold on. So this is what I do Boom now to say it, but I usually am able to say who gave it to me For real for sure. Yeah, no. Yeah, some Paulo more. So Paulo more. Mm-hmm. Yeah, in my head. I would go the same I talked to Raffi Baustos. He's from he's from near Sao Paulo. Oh, yeah Black Greenwald is now living Maybe Sao Paulo. Maybe somewhere else Paraguay. I'm interested in some of these places. Just don't call to me at all and some really do so El Salvador. I'm kind of excited about because It used to be super dangerous and now I guess it just got very undanguous and so it's not gonna be touristy Yeah, I heard great beaches and shit. Wow It already sounds so fucking El Cuco Yeah, you know Turner Sparks. Yeah, so he just went there really? Yeah, and he goes it's like so safe like what he did do that Just vacation. He went to make a travel video. Mm-hmm. He said this is a place called Bitcoin Beach It only accepts Bitcoin because they're so like advanced like we're doing our own dollar standard Whatever can and then he went there he goes yeah, but there's no Wi-Fi here so we can't change We can't send Bitcoin to each other. That's it. That's a dream hilarious. Yeah Anyway, give me what your questions are about this trip and tell me like what's the okay? Okay, okay, okay, okay, so we go there a Peru Peru. Yeah, sure So I'm gonna go on there's a lot of these plays the only thing I'm definitely definitely definitely gonna do the rest Or like I'd like to do that. Mm-hmm. I'd like to go to Uruguay But if stuff gets really transferred if I end up living on a farm and in Argentina for a while I might not get it to Uruguay, you know, but the only thing I'm definitely gonna do is I'm gonna hike to Machu Picchu. Oh Shit, yeah, that's the move for sure But tell me about like any psychedelic shit or like I probably do for sure All right, yeah, especially if you're on Peru and all that you got it like I didn't echo it last time But then and also you can probably get one of those fancy ones now. I've heard it's like crazy What do you mean like the way they set it up for you and the views they give you and the shaman and the rituals I've heard it's like the premium Johnny Depp shit. What do you mean like describe it? So it's like you pay more of course, but for you pay more, you know, you're a multi-million, you know, I'm not I don't know what the standard of everyone that got two milliliters But anyway, you can totally get one millionaire get something pretty awesome. I reckon I did it It was 80 bucks. It was an Ecuador. It was not awesome, but it was very authentic. Yeah 80 bucks It's like you have a tent in the woods, you know, not quite a tent.

I'm like I'm one. It's exciting. It's exciting. That will be nice I'll tell you what I'm scared of Yeah, so tell me all the anxiety that's because okay right now word that's career wise. You don't feel nothing, right? No bit right do you do it? Yeah, yeah, it's I've made a decision already What about if you go up somewhere? Have you thought about that? No, I'd same thing I had one of it was how your show in in in Cambodia That's my fear why I Didn't want it. I don't want to go up and then sit on a bomb for two straight months if I bomb in New York now Which happens all the time? I'm getting on that night or quickly the next day and I'm washing it. Okay, so that anxiety none. Okay Okay, no, but career wise I've just I've made a decision to give up a certain amount of money for some of this free A lot of money. Yeah, yeah, and so I already made that decision so of course I'm gonna fall behind again to a degree But then again as a person the development you're gonna go through. Yeah, this is gonna be like on brand I'm brand of like you can absolutely have an angle I bet the special you're gonna come back is like you did a candle once can be small Brazilian children in the back Yeah, yeah, maybe all the little boys I had sex with dude already go for kids, dude I'm already gone. I have a kind of reservation in two different places. That's great. I heard the results are really nice It's the fancy boys But you got it there's something that are pronounced with zoots and that's this Yeah, because it's like the cute way to say it because that's like a code for that's there's children fucking here I think there's children fucking in every resort Sometimes I say these things too seriously and people think I'm being serious. I'd like to say here you'd be tripping I've never fucked a child Both boys and girls. Do you have any questions about this trip? Yeah, I'm a bad. I think it over for a second. What food are you looking for it to the most? I've kind of been a whore. Besides the teacher owns besides the children. That's a good question There's kui in Ecuador and all through Peru. Can you pig diarrhea? I'm a little worried about the diarrhea, but I don't have any way. I just deal with it to be a man. Yeah, I am Worried about any motorcycle trips. Yeah, I'll take that. I'll take my pets for sure fucking awesome. Yeah, for sure Yeah, so dangerous. Uh-huh, so dangerous. Uh-huh. And then hikes. I'll be going on some hikes and when you're a person Don't put your hand outside of the bus. You know, they like chop it off in a machete. Take your watch So don't do that. I don't think I'll wear a watch Yeah, don't do that and then also like who does that when you stand next to that when you stand next to the train stop somewhere Yeah, don't be on your phone like be on your phone Like this you on your phone and then they do this push you in and you're like, hey, why'd you have to push? You could just take it. Yeah So don't do that. So don't and don't look around too much. Yeah, listen I'm not worried about the danger part of it. Uh, I am worried about Not really about what about much to be honest. I'm just like I'm like I want to get to things but also like I'm a little worried about like re-adjusting into hostile life. Yeah, dude But I'll be fine. I know that'll work fine after a week. I'll be like I'm used to this now It will 100% and then letting go will actually feel amazing once a Guatemala couple December's ago and I stayed in hostels and it was like I got my own private for one or two nights Exactly, and then though I went on a hike and came back to like there's no private stuff I'm like give me a dorm. It didn't matter after date, too. I was like this is fine Everything switched off everything did switch off Just give it a second. Yeah But okay, okay, okay, the anxiety and then of course, but it's gonna be like exciting. It's gonna be very exciting Isn't it crazy that You know it's my number one anxiety when I travel my passport. Isn't it funny? Oh, that's an anxiety Yeah, that a piece of paper on this day and age a piece of paper if you lose that in Paraguay Yeah, what do I do your Paraguayan now? Yeah, yeah pretty much. No, you are. I got to find an embassy Also if you lose your wallet, I got about five hours left before I'm starting to need food and I don't have a wallet or or a passport. I'm actively dying You're dying till yeah, you get somewhere. Yeah, how do I get a new ATM card? How do you even start with this happened? Who do yeah? I'm like oh, I got a steal some bread. Mm-hmm Well, it's still the energy to do it Here's one thing I'm worried I haven't finished all of all the work I have to do before I leave so right now I have this anxiety of like Did I take care of everything so I can actually just come out good but the feeling when you're on the plane and Seven months of no plans. Yeah, that's what that's why you're a backpack grandma backpack Her kai legacies are back. There's people who love that freedom. Yeah, look at them with good good questions It's like your host you read it you pretend it's your question. Hey, mr. Shafir. Welcome to it. We are traveling with Ari Maddie So mr. Shafir yeah, you can see him on Netflix and YouTube please Give it up Thanks, thanks So, Ari tell me about this trip. It's gonna be an exciting. What's the packing situation like? Good question, Ari One backpack Over you really yeah, what's the fuck? What do you mean like the big one that you throw? Oh, you still check? No, don't check you gotta get it just just overhead 45 liters. Well, I got a 70 that's a 55 the main pack That's just small to fit in the overhead tell me the model It's an osprey far point 70. They change the model So I had to go eBay an older used one to get this proper model with a zip up. Yes with a zip up back Yeah, attachment. So it's a 55 liter that has an attached 25 or something right touch 15 at that's 15 Yeah, it's it's so good The new one it doesn't It doesn't zip for paint yeah, four point seven ever seen boom Yeah, yeah, no, that's the one I had in Asia. I actually left one did my last four point I'm so pissed off still about this is in Kuala Lumpur Airport. Oh, you know why why late on the flight and they tell me He can we can let you on through the back, but your backpack's got a go because it was too big for the overhead Then I had to just leave it What do you mean so they couldn't check it? No, they said that's the option either run now lead this year Yeah, so it's this. Oh, that's fair of you. It's not as a checks one Yeah, so it's that so everything's got to be duplicate boot duplicatable So like hiking shoes that can double as like go out I cannot see per their tone You know, there's there's new ones I can't fucking remember the new model that my friend uses it's called naked something It's apparently see the zipper kind of sucks like on all ospreys because you know how securely it's trapped It's gonna be great for the Amazon because that means it's probably got the fucking humidity protection But wait, what are you saying? What what don't you like the access? You know, I love like all and a big zipper. They have a small zipper that might give you issues. Oh, no This one slips all the way up and around yes, but the zipper's eyes. I love the big train tracks I hear you can pull it through the clothes like when you need it shut. Yeah, no This did eventually break on my other one. That's why I had to get another one That's what I'm talking. Yeah, so it's everything so it's one one pair jeans, which people like don't there's all this red So don't get two pairs of jeans one pair. Yeah, no, but some people say don't even pair jeans They take too long to draw. No, no bro. You're gonna go do a restaurant.

It wasn't like he lost out on stats. It's like a Brittany Griner gets kidnapped. Like, she's not a whole famer anymore. She's not an all-star currently. - Also a woman gets kidnapped, sell her. Why was she stuck in that fucking. - I think she was, I think it was all a ruse. I think she was having trans surgery, and then she didn't want to do it here in America, so she like, she was like, it just takes a while for the recovery time, so she's covering it up. Augusto Males, I don't know, I'm just gonna have fun, eat new foods, to really get lost. - Super diary, super diary. - Eat some other travelers.

Oh, but you don't know if you're going to Rio. - I probably will, but even if I don't, I'm sure there's other things I could do that. - For sure, yeah, but just anyway. - So Nicaragua smokes cigars. I've found some gar wraps that go visit my father, like factory, go visit the, you know, Estrella factory.

What are you excited about for this long-term trip? You've been there. You've been about to go on a long trip before. - True. - So maybe we start. - Hello. - I mean, you couldn't have done a worse job. - You guys should've given me more, it's like my website. You guys should've given me more. - Interview about what I'm expecting for this trip. You've done nothing. So, it's an hour in, we've already done it. - Okay, so you're really excited for this trip? - Sorry. - Want my money back? - So you're really excited for this trip? - Anyway, that's all the stuff I'm expecting. I don't know. - What might break the trip? - I want to see some indigenous, what might break the trip? - Good question. - Question. - Malaria, robbery. - Oh, really, robbery? You would, wait, let's describe robbery. Somebody takes your shit or you mean robbery, gunning your mouth with your feet getting, get it on the ground, put, you know, yeah. - And which is, I've had friends who've had that happen and you just have to fucking, that might get me, like, if I get back to the hostel, my stuff's gonna, if I get off a bus and they're like, hey, where's my stuff? Like, oh, I'm like, motherfucker, all my shit's gone. That would bother me. If I really was put on the ground with a gun on my head, that might get me so scared of traveling. - So scared. - That I'm like, I don't wanna be here anymore. - If you're alone, the upside is, you get on the ground and you, you know, you're soil yourself, you give all the shit. It's a traumatic experience for you. If you're out there with a girl, she sees you, soil yourself and be a bitch. She's never gonna come again. - Yeah. - And you're never gonna be a man again. - Yeah, that's not great. - So that's back. - Yeah. - Uh-oh. - I had a friend, I had a friend who was, what's this? - I don't know. - You keep opening your eyes and being like, oh my god, look at this. Yes, it's another place. - Oh, I thought that. - Every time he opens, it's like a regular city and he's literally like, can you believe that's, it's building next to an ocean? - It looks cool. What are you talking about? - Yeah, it looks cool. It all looks cool. - Yeah, I'm gonna see it all. - At a friend. - Yeah. - Hippy, hippie, hippie. - I believe you're at a friend. - Yeah. - He got robbed. - Where did his wife, soon to be wife? The answer. - Yeah. - Just to go on the trip before the big marriage. Everything's wrong. What happened? - It's fine. He's just reframing another set up. - So. - I'm a consummate professional. Don't ask him pay for his share of pressure of pizza, he won't do it. - Really? - It's crazy. - It's crazy. - It's crazy. (laughing) - It's crazy. - It's hard to start with that. (laughing) - It's not a black stereotype. That's a Jewish one. - It is? - Yeah, any Steinberg. - My friend. - Yeah. - Pianca, soon to be wife. One last big backpack in trip before they continue with their lives. They do X to C exact. Just a magical experience. Wife is swimming in the ocean. My friend is on the shore. Wife comes out, starts trying. He goes, "You know what? "I'll just go into." Goes in the water, looks back. Wife is on her knees. AK-47. And leave these guys with like ski masks. And the AK-47, the back of the wife's head. Like this. - Oh. - She's got her like, "Okay." (laughing) - You're gonna take some time. - Yeah. - Because you're pretty. - You can tie it, yeah. - So he's like, "Fuck, okay. "Maybe he's swimming on your back." (laughing) - That'd be funny if you saw your husband. - Yeah. - It's taking an extra second. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's the weirdest thing. - It's a little time and come back up, gonna, yeah. - So he comes back out. Bangala, bangala! You know, these guys, Bermonees or something? - Yeah, Bermes. - Okay, get on, he gets on his knees, you know. They go, they go, they go, whatever money. They, whatever. you know, and this whole time when the AK47 is the back of the soon-to-be-wife, the answer is head. My friend is like he's standing there and they're like kids, three of them. They're like children. Only one has a gun and in his head he has a big rock here and he keeps thinking about tossing this rock, you know. He doesn't do it. Thank God. It's just tough. Yeah. I mean, it's just tough. Yeah. But the fact he didn't do it, you know, this is a bad omen to the wedding. You know, we're like going into a marriage. So then he for a year, you know, his traumatic experience, of course, and for a year, you know, you don't fuck your girl right and your girl also looks at you because he couldn't attract me. The pussy knows that you didn't throw the rock. The pussy knows. Like she, of course, is like, of course, honey, it's just tough. Who cares? The pussy saw you be a bitch, so it knows. So then they have to fucking and I think they're not married anymore and that one might have been it. So there's that. So I got to get an aka 47. I know so I could be that guy. And always throw the rock. Wife gets shot in the head. You move on. You move on with a hard dick. Yeah. It's like I know I'll step up. You got to step up. So when you get in a situation like this, you know, believe your leave me scenario. Go for a shot. Okay. I got a question. Yeah. You you get any sort of protection out there. Like you get in pepper spray. You get in fucking you're gonna get a knife. You can get in the gun. Anything. Nothing. You're just raw dog. I know the problem is that once you get a gun or a knife or pepper spray, now you're saying, I want to do this as a fight instead of I want to get away from it. Listen, it's like, it's like, yeah, take the money already with a knife or I'm gonna lose that fight. Now it's a knife fight that I'm gonna lose. What if he gets the knife? What if he gets your knife? You want to get to my knife? Oh, how about? And also that escalation of all you want is the escalation. All you want is the escalation. Yeah. If you're gonna shoot me in my fucking hair, I'm not one of those guys. But I guys like do it. I'll be one of those guys. I always push my woman up front. I didn't see it push the woman. Push the woman push the woman. The escalation. I'm a bitch. Yeah, I'm like, hey, let me show you. Listen, I get what you want. I can show you pictures of my vacations to Barrow, Alaska. You've never been there. I know you live in the Amazon. Let me show you what a real American traveler. This is the key to my hotel. There's more rich people there. Get them. Please don't. What? So I'm like a bitch, you know. I'm never that guy. I was like, what can do it? Do it. You won't. That's such a crazy thing to do. I wasn't gonna, but now I guess I have to. My old podcast producer, she went with her father, Estonian father, first time abroad. They go to, what's the, what's the one in Brazil there? Real? Carnival. Oh, Carnival. Yeah, they go that. And I go to that. And during the papapa, papapa, everyone, chicks, pussy, drinks, and she's with the father and the father's having a great time like man in his 50s. All of a sudden, baseball went to the father's and blood everywhere. On each of them with your dad, you know, on your lap, bleeding, ha, ha, ha, ha. Everyone's stepping on you. Night, man, night, man. Night, man. There's so much blood. Blood loss. The ambulance gets stuck in the crowd. Ha, ha, ha. They're shaking the ambulance. Your dad might die. He ended up being fine, but it's just like, it's a bad start. It was like literally day one of magical backpackers, but your father damn. It's like, so she does get crazy. I am a bit more worried about crime here than I was in Asia. So, yeah, so I don't Asian are also small like get them. Yeah, get the fuck out of here. You know, there's less gangs there. There's more like junta's, which is like not my issue. Yeah, yeah. So that's my worry. Yeah. But being alone is better, but if you're with somebody, it's going to be big trouble. You're going to witness horrible crimes down to the person you love the most. I don't know. Hostels are like in South America. And they cut your eyelids off. And then what? For why? Do they use duct tape to put you to a pole? Yeah. And then they your wife in front of you and cut new holes in her. That's like a thing I've heard too. Where's that? I heard it's like very popular in Bolivia, Brazil, maybe some in Uruguay. It's like a popular crime. They'll do. And then they'll show your organs for later. Let's Google them. They might cut her like pussy off and save it in the fridge for later. A man's guide who helping a woman who has been taken care of. Central America of Salvador, Guadalupe, Honduras, and Salvador, exactly where you go. You do all these places. I'm going to skip Honduras. That's a lot of Salvador and Guatemala. Great. Reports also detail the prevalence of sexual assault as a weapon of war and persecution. Various regions. Great. Me and Mar. Anyway, so that's my trip. I'll be back. We can do a second part of what I actually did. You can talk and terribly host that too. Ask me no questions about what I did and just get on to you knew what you get into.

Different regions. And you're going to be a stranger nowhere. What does that mean? It's like exciting. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm very excited to not be recognized. It'll be recognized very very little. Yeah. And I love the thought of like that if I got murdered here, no one would leave them. No, not even a few. Tony wanted me to go on kill Tony. He needed somebody else for this week. And I was like, yeah. And then I was like, actually, I'm about to go be anonymous for, you know, a better part of the year. No. No, that's why I'm okay. Yes, you. Yeah. But I was like, I want to go be anonymous. And I know you're, you got too big. And I don't want to go in there because it won't be off for three weeks. I'm like, I know. I'll be in fucking Guatemala then. I don't want to be known like 74 times. I know. It's time to go Batman. Not lately. Right when it's on your mind. It's always a jump in popularity. You might get more recognized when I do a kill Tony. I don't know about. Well, surely there'll be some fucking students in Colombia that will recognize you because they're doing coke and they'll yell. Yeah, we're just other backpackers.

I want to go back so bad. Other places are new that I've always heard about. The best part about backpacking is telling other people where to go later. It's like the most you feel so good. When I was in a city in like a temple city in Myanmar and this Israeli girl was like, hey, we did a three day hike. We just came from there. We stayed in the monastery one night. We stayed in the village. And I'm like, oh, and then a few people were like, let's do that. And then you just hear from other people what there is to do.
