Ari Shaffir - w/ Mark Normand & Sam Morril - We Might Be Drunk Podcast
118m 53s
The podcast features a lively, conversational discussion centered around travel, culture, and drinking traditions. The hosts explore South American experiences—such as drinking caipirinhas in Brazil, sipping pisco sour in Peru, and enjoying local beers like Club Colombia in Mexico—while sharing personal anecdotes from trips abroad. These stories reveal deep cultural insights, including how local customs differ from American norms, such as tipping, political awareness, and social interactions. The group also reflects on American stereotypes, humorously pointing out overconfidence in political knowledge and cultural claims, like Montezuma's revenge. They highlight how travel fosters humility, especially when confronting unfamiliar practices or beliefs. The conversation blends humor with thoughtful observations on identity, belonging, and the value of simple pleasures like shared drinks. A recurring theme is the contrast between American self-assurance and the openness of other cultures, where people are more willing to engage, share, and adapt. The discussion ends with a nostalgic nod to their shared past, including memories of drinking together in New York’s comedy scene, reinforcing the podcast’s theme of connection through shared experiences and good company.

place i went this was my outfit for carnival oh wow so i had drank so many caipirinhas during
carnival
- Nice, so is that what we start with?
- Yes.
- It takes a while to make, have you already mastered it?
Why don't we crack open a few Club Colombias for an appetizer
while you make a whatever the hell, a carna nina.
The only problem with caipirinha is when you ask for it,
you're like on the go.
You're like, ah, give me caipirinha.
Cool, I'm local.
And then it's like 15 minutes away.
Are you serious?
Why?
They make them with care.
They cut the limes, start smashing them down.
It takes a while.
Damn.
Do we all want beer?
Yeah, we'll start with a beer.
We'll start with a beer.
It's a touch over.
It's a hot day.
Yeah, you got that right.
Caipirinha is one of the best drinks for taking into the water with you.
Ooh.
You just get a beach bar.
You're like, can I?
I'm like, yeah, I don't give a shit.
You just take your glass right in there, drink it in the waves.
Give us a rundown.
Where did you start?
Started in Mexico.
Thank you.
Hey, look at that.
We're back, baby.
What a time to be alive.
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.
Club Columbia.
Wait.
Oh, that's lovely.
Ooh, that hits.
Very nice.
Love a brown bottle.
Mm-hmm.
Dorado.
Golden lager.
First time I've had one of these.
Not this trip.
I took Spanish class in 2018 in outside Medellin, Envergado.
Mm-hmm.
And there are all these pool halls with those no-pocket pool tables.
Oh, yeah.
Like billiards.
And all the old men are playing it.
And they shift.
They have these scorekeepers up there.
And they just twist them with their sticks.
It was so cool.
And I just sat and watched them and drank some of these.
Wow.
That was like a long time ago.
Were you solo for that one?
That was solo.
Yeah, I lived with a family.
Wow.
Whoa.
For like two weeks to try to hit it off with their kid.
Yeah.
No Epstein stuff.
No.
Just, yeah.
It's really open.
Do you feel like your blood pressure and all that just went way to cortisol levels?
You're out with no phone in the jungle drinking capillaries.
Capillaries.
Capillaries.
Do you keep up with anything going back in America or in news or anything?
Okay.
Early on, I was keeping up with the Yankees.
All right.
Because I'm like diehard.
And it was like heading to the playoff push.
And then I realized after about five days, I'm like, this is taking me out of it.
I'm checking like two to three times per game updates.
And then I was off news completely.
But I'm like, that's the only thing I'll check.
And I'm like, this is dragging me back to America mentally.
Whoa.
So I was like, I'm going to check in.
What's 10 days before the playoffs?
I'm going to see how they're doing.
American news must be so much funnier from like a beach in another country.
You're just chilling on like, you know, having a caipirinha.
You're like, Trump started shit with the Pope.
What the hell?
This is crazy.
Yeah.
Right.
You know how I found out about it?
Yeah.
When I found out about Venezuela, I was on an overnight bus.
And I just see like three or four screens.
Like, you know, when you look at other people's like phones when you're on like a plane or something.
And I'm looking at the screens like, do you consider Maduro a valid leader or like a legitimate leader?
I'm like, why is everyone researching that?
Uh-oh.
He was already gone.
And where were you when the bus went?
I was headed to Uruguay from Argentina.
It was probably somewhere in Argentina.
Wow.
Damn.
Yeah.
The Maduro thing was pretty cool.
Like, people were fighting me on it.
I mean, just how easy it was.
In and out.
In and out.
It was nice to get a smooth W.
And I think he thought Iran was going to be smooth as well.
And then that was a shit show.
I know.
I haven't kept up on that one at all.
Yeah.
That's a whole other thing.
Yeah.
But then I had some Uruguayan guy, Geronimo.
He's like, why is it always America?
I get something had to be done.
Why always you guys?
I'm like, yeah, fair.
Totally fair.
I'm like, you ain't going to do it, Uruguay.
Exactly.
You ain't going to do it.
You got gay in your name.
You go.
You do in other parts.
Like, other parts of the world, you just say you're American, and they're just pissed.
I know.
We were in Berlin, and I was with my buddy, and he was trying to get laid at some, like,
hipster bar in Berlin.
They were like, where are you from?
America?
They're like, ugh.
Yeah.
I was like, just say Canada if you want to get your dick sucked tonight, buddy.
Just say Canada.
Just say Canada tonight.
It's not the time to be nationalistic.
Right.
Although, sometimes it helps.
In the 90s, it was cool.
Like, I went to England during college to visit a friend, and we went to Brighton, which
is a cool.
It's like hipster island in England.
And I was at a nightclub, and I was like, one beer, please.
And girls were like, American.
A beer, not an ale?
Novelty accent.
Yeah.
And this voice has never helped me with women.
And it was the only time that they were like, hey, nice accent.
I like your clit.
I'm gay.
I don't believe you.
Yeah, it worked.
Yeah.
In small countries, like Southeast Asia shit, they love us.
All right.
They just know about our music and movies.
And that we give more.
More than the bill, which they can't comprehend.
That's huge.
They can't comprehend that.
Tipping is big.
Yeah.
You just do that.
I just do that in other countries, even when you're not supposed to, because I'm just used
to it.
Yeah.
But the bill was 10.
Why would you give me 12?
That doesn't make sense.
And you're like, all right, keep it.
Like, what?
I'm used to it.
But would they like our movies, baseball?
We got some stuff.
Yeah.
So I did log back in to check those last week of the playoffs.
Okay.
Last week of the regular season.
Then the playoffs.
As soon as they went out, I was like, I'm back out.
And then.
Right then, I was also hella missing baseball, and I was in Oaxaca.
And I was like, oh, they got a baseball team.
The Oaxaca Guerreros.
I'm like, I'm in.
My season ended yesterday.
I'm like, fuck.
Number two seed.
So I started going to playoff games.
Oaxaca Guerreros playoff games.
Are you just you in the stands, I assume?
Yeah.
Wow.
They don't save seats.
They just do sections.
And it's so much fun.
Come on.
Because they go crazy, right?
They go crazy.
First of all, I was like, I'm not going to eat, because I want to get a hot dog at the
game, you know?
And they're like.
No hot dogs.
Burrito plates.
Oh, even better.
All sorts of new types of food.
They just come by with it already made.
Like, who wants.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Some 12-year-old girls with signs.
I'm like, what are you guys selling?
They're like, beers.
And I'm like, okay.
Yeah.
It's so much fun.
Wow.
Every time they hit our home run, they put this elephant, like, Ganesh mask on them,
and then they knight them with a sword.
Oh, I love it.
It was so much fun.
I became a supporter.
I'm a Guerrero until I die.
See, what's great about those areas is, and what's horrible about those areas, is there's
no regulation.
Yeah.
There's no one coming in going, why is a 12-year-old selling beer?
Is that burrito up to code?
Oh, yeah.
There's none of that, which is awesome.
Yeah.
But also, you could get a parasite that's plagued you for two weeks.
You got it many times.
There's also so much.
I think we talked about this the other day, but there's so much hometown pride, where
you go to a place like Cuba, they just play for their hometown.
Yeah.
So it's not like, you know, it's like if all the Yankees were just New Yorkers.
Yes.
I love that.
You'd be like, holy shit.
He was fucking.
So it's so cool.
I remember when Clint Frazier was a Yankee, and you're like, this is fucking cool.
Yeah.
He grew up here.
He's a New York kid.
Yeah.
He has an accent.
Jose Alvarado's a Knick.
He's a fucking kid from Queens.
Right.
There's something extra special about that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
When I was in DR, like a few years ago, I went to a game, and Pujols was playing.
And he was like, I've been waiting to play for my hometown team for 25 years.
I'm retired.
I'm playing.
It's so funny that they just get the worst version of him now.
He's like one of the greatest ever, and they're like, I'll come back when I'm 42 and fat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's what happens, right?
I mean, that you still want to play, and you still kind of can play.
Yeah.
You see some of these guys at old-timers games, and you're like, they can still fucking play.
Yeah.
Reggie Jackson at some old-timers game I went to.
I think it was at Camden Yards.
He came out, and he was like, I'll swing.
And then missed a few, and then hit three home runs, and the place went nuts, and he
rounded the bases.
By the way, that was his career anyway.
He struck out more than anybody, but he hit bombs.
Yeah.
Well, people care about their early.
Where's Pacquiao from?
Philippines.
They say in the Philippines, when he's fighting, he's like, I'm going to fight.
When he's fighting, the whole city's shut down.
Everything is out, except for that fight.
I love how much Ari loves baseball, though.
He's like a baseball psychopath.
That's part of a born-in-New York vibe, but also Jews love baseball.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
I think it's just so American, too.
I guess it's everything.
It's so Latin American now, too, and Japan.
Japan loves baseball.
But it feels like it's ingrained in American culture, you know?
So it's our game.
Yeah.
The best in terms of people playing for their hometown?
Is, you know, state of origin in Australia?
No.
It's Rugby Sevens, I think.
Oh, okay.
And it's, so these are the best players in the world.
They go off to play in New Zealand.
They go play whatever.
But Brisbane plays against Sydney, or their states, New South Wales versus Queensland.
And they all come home to play for their state.
And it's sometimes, these guys are teammates on other teams, and now they're enemies, and
they're punching each other.
Nice.
And the long line is state versus state, mate versus mate.
Hey.
And you've seen them teammates fully fucking fist fight.
It's the best of three.
It's the best of three, and it's nuts.
Go Maroons.
Blues drool.
Maroons rule.
Oh, I love it.
Yeah.
I feel like rugby's going to catch on in America at some point.
It should.
It'd be great.
I don't know if we're tough enough.
Black people got to start it.
Yeah.
If black people start rugby, it's on.
Interesting.
Look, pretty much, black people started doing just like poetry to a beat, and that caught
on.
Yeah.
That's so gay.
But they made it cool.
Yeah.
They made basketball cool.
They had to add in shooting each other.
Yeah.
This is so gay, we got to murder each other, guys.
We got to do something, guys.
We can't do this.
But yeah, yeah.
I went to the Rangers game a week ago, and there was a hockey fight, a goalie fight.
Oh, my God.
It was Sirkin and the guy in the devil hat.
That was crazy.
It's like once in a lifetime.
That's his last, that was his last fight he'll ever do.
He retired.
No, that was quick.
The other guy.
Oh, oh, oh.
The older guy.
But just seeing the two goalies go in the middle, drop gloves, and go at it was awesome.
That's like a Chappelle pop-in.
You see two goalies, when they look at each other.
It was over way shorter than a Chappelle set, for sure.
Right.
Right.
Less smoking.
What is this here?
This is Mark's wife.
Oh, what are you putting this on?
My wife is playing hockey in a league now in Jersey.
No way.
What?
No way.
That's her as a goalie.
I got to say, that's a-
They can play hockey?
Oh, she grew up playing it.
Look at her.
Saved.
Oh, she saved it.
Oh, another one.
She's got to hit the tits.
She's lost your second baby right there.
No offense.
That's the least attractive I've ever seen.
Another save.
It's amazing I got her pregnant.
You can get hard for that.
She is good at closing her legs.
That's true.
There you go.
They got one in.

Do we have three?
Well, that's a two is not enough.
Yeah.
The rule of threes.
Look at that.
Wow.
Very exciting.
Oh, you upscaled it with a toasted lime there.
Oh, yeah.
You took the jacket off.
It smells good.
So Cabrinha is Brazilian, right?
Cabrinha is Brazilian.
Okay.
And you can make it with cachaça or vodka.
What did you make it with?
Cachaça.
Nice.
That's the right way.
If it's Brazilian, there's no pubes in it.
That's right.
That's right.
That's not in the recipe.
That hits.
Damn.
That's so fucking refreshing.
Is that like, so what's in a Cabrinha?
What is in that?
Cachaça.
Cachaça.
Shit ton of sugar, shit ton of lime.
That's why.
That's it.
It's a shit ton of sugar.
It masks it so well.
It really does.
I had multiple like barfing days.
And then going, what the fuck?
And then finding other people at the hostel goes, no, they made them stronger there.
They put in extra sugar.
Yes, their fault.
It fucked us all.
Not that I'm an adult man puking.
It was on them.
Boy, that is delightful.
Yeah.
Damn, that is really good.
Right on the beach.
Imagine yourself on the beach.
That's crazy.
With shades on so you can stare at all the butts.
Just like light head movements, but staring at butts.
And dare I say, Brazilian butts are the pinnacle of-
That's why they call them the lift.
That's right.
That's right.
They got the lift.
The BBL.
The Brazilian butt lift, yeah.
Yeah.
They got that and the wax.
Dude, their bathing suits are shaped different.
They won't fit American women.
Wow.
I feel like we've lost a lot of good influencers to that surgery.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of women have gone down.
What do you mean?
Just, you know, they're like, oh, TikTok star 30 dead from butt lift.
You see a lot of those headlines.
Right.
It's dangerous.
It is, yeah.
And then you get a bad job and they put all kinds of, you know, Firestone tires in there
and shit.
Like, yeah, they got to fill it out.
Firestone tires.
I think you get some weird couple of, like, old boots.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
I think Kim K is getting hers removed.
Boots on the mound.
She's getting a butt reduction?
I heard that.
Kim Kardashian or Kim Congdon?
Kardashian.
Oh.
Because it's out now.
Yeah.
Congdon can't afford that.
Butts are out?
I guess.
I still like a good butt.
Jesus.
I mean, that's not a good butt, though.
That's a large-
That's crazy.
But Roe Martin's into that.
Ample cheek.
Yeah.
Like, it's a little too big.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a little too much.
It's ridiculous.
I remember meeting one of those women.
Like, I saw, like, she was, like, a butt person, and I saw her at a show, and I was like, oh,
your butt is, like, it's way too big.
Way too big.
It looked cool in that photo, but then I saw it, I was like, this is a crime.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look at that.
That's silly.
That's lunacy.
And how do you penetrate that?
I mean, how many inches do you need to-
You need a running start, I'll tell you that much.
That's an only fuck from the front.
Yeah.
I need a booster dick.
If you love missionary, get that implant.
I stood in the phone book to fuck her.
Right.
Exactly.
You need assistance.
You need, like, the thing you use when you shoot pool when you can't reach.
I got to raise my dick on the bridge, yeah.
Oh, my God.
That is a lot of-
Too much ass, dude.
Too much ass.
Yeah, yeah.
You need a fucking vacuum changer where they fucking test to see if stuff falls in an even
rate.
They're super thin, too, though.
Like, you don't need that much ass when you're that- how do you even hold it up?
You got to gain some weight to make it look okay.
You got to, like, you got to make it look like it's possible.
It's killing all the asses.
That's true.
Maybe that's why asses are going out, the Ozempic.
That probably is part of it.
I heard the airline industry, because of Ozempic, saved $42 million in fuel costs last year.
I heard the same thing.
Is that real?
People weigh less.
They're less to transport.
Because they can tell you, hey, your bag's too heavy, but you can't go, hey, Brenda's
too heavy.
They're 20 pounds across the board off.
Wow.
Times 200.
There you go.
Oh, Ari, have you heard about the height holocaust in the MLB?
Whoa, boy.
First of all, I love a reuse of holocaust.
Yeah.
That feels like not earned.
I feel like you didn't earn holocaust here, but let's see where it's going.
The height holocaust in MLB, okay.
Yes, because the ABS strike zone thing, every major league baseball player has to measure
themselves properly, because the strike zone, it changes.
So judges' strike zone just went way bigger?
Yes.
And people who said that they were 6-1 are actually 5-10.
Oh.
Oh, they're lying.
Yes.
Yeah, that sounds a lot like the holocaust.
It's a good use of the word there.
6-1, 6 million.
I mean, if that was the holocaust.
Where they're like, we need your actual heights.
You're like, I don't want it.
They're like, we're forcing you to, because we're a totalitarian regime.
Wouldn't have the same, wouldn't hit as hard.
No.
Yeah, Jewish baseball players in the holocaust, I'd like to challenge that right there.
Can we get a video replay?
Yeah.
That's so funny.
Damn.
So what happens?
So people who are registered on their baseball card says they're 6-1 or 6-2, they actually
have to be accurately measured for this ABS strike zone.
Because they've been lying about this for years.
Boom.
I never understood.
I feel like in every sport, in everything.
I feel like even like pro wrestling, they'd be like, he's 6'9 and 480 pounds.
You'd be like, no, he's not.
No, he's not.
Parts are known.
Parts are known.
It's like, no, outside Kansas City.
It's just not very well known, but it's known.
It's a suburb.
Because you'll see, I've seen some of these players in person.
I'm like, I'm taller than this dude.
Yeah.
And he claims he's 6'3.
Well, Barkley's thing was like, when he got in, they were like, what?
He goes, well, that was with shoes on.
Like, even with shoes on, you're not that tall.
Really?
Barkley's 6'4, and he was like, 6'4, that's a power.
4'4.
And he was guarding like 6'10, dude.
That's Steph Curry's height.
I know.
No, he's 6'2.
He's 6'3.
Yeah, he's like Steph Curry's height, kind of.
It's crazy.
Barkley was just a fucking ox, dude.
He was just built and strong and explosive.
All right.
I take it back.
That's what they say.
Yeah, but I think he's 6'3.
I'm sorry.
I think it's out of June.
It was ridiculous.
I've looked all these up.
You were positive, and I was wrong.
There you go, Barkley.
With shoes, 6'3.
There you go.
Wow.
Damn, yeah.
Club Shea Shea was 6'2.
I thought he was going to be huge.
You know that's not his name.
Nice to meet you, Club Shea Shea.
So demeaning.
I was just over with my friend the Joe Rogan experience earlier.
That's beyond their character name.
I was hanging out, and we had a pizza with Barstool.
Portnoy.
It's still hilarious you did that show.
Oh, it was crazy.
We drank cognac the whole time.
You did the pizza thing with Dave?
No.
It was Shea Shea.
Oh.
Yeah, cognac is very good.
It's kind of like a Di Serono or whatever.
I saw Portnoy in the streets about a year ago, and I was like, oh, let me go say, like
I was inside a coffee shop, I saw him, and I was like, let me go say, and then it hit
me like, he doesn't know me.
Yeah.
What am I going to say to him?
He might know of you.
Hey, I've heard of you.
Right.
Like, I ate at one of your pizza places once.
That is the tough thing when you see, but people do that to you all the time.
I know.
So then I second guessed him.
I was like, don't do that.
It won't go well.
Good point.
But he might know you.
He might know.
You're very recognizable.
Look at this outfit.
It's from the side, sure.
Yeah.
From the front, not as much.
Was he eating pizza on the street, or was he just hanging?
He was doing something.
He had a camera guy with him.
Oh, yeah.
You don't want to fuck with that shit.
It's like a setup scene.
But you've got to look.
You look like a rabbi at Burning Man.
Yeah.
You're laughing a little too hard over there.
I mean, in South America, when you were in the middle of nowhere, where people were like,
who's this fucking weirdo?
Yeah.
Some of those places.
Like, Guatemala is. Say whatever you want about every country.
That is the shortest country I've ever been to.
Yeah.
Really?
And if you have a Guatemalan, like, fix-it guy, super, they're tiny.
Whoa.
Why is that?
Mayans.
They had to get under those fucking carved doorways.
Interesting.
So they'd have to duck.
Isn't Guatemala known for, like, jungles and volcanoes and stuff?
Mm-hmm.
That, too.
And nannies.
Yeah.
They nanny.
What was the best part of Guatemala?
Besides the bathtub.
Besides the quetzalteca?
Yeah.
So I was there a few years ago, not this time, and I went to this northern, northern town.
I've heard about. You'll like this.
I heard about a schvitz, a very specific schvitz.
Love a schvitz.
That's just there.
Okay.
Called a shulch or something like that.
Native.
And I went to find it.
It's some nothing town.
There's no shuttles to go there.
You gotta take bus after bus after bus to get there.
Yeah.
And so I'm there.
I did it.
Market day's the next day.
I'm like, let me stay for market.
I'm the only white guy for months.
Yeah.
So they were like. Everyone was talking to me.
World Cup was going on.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
And then they love soccer in Latin America.
So everywhere I went, it'd be like. electronic store
they were like
is that Gameplay
like come on in
absolutely
and they loved
Messi
they were all in
an Argentine
because they was
their representative
so I was watching
at some burrito place
across the street
at a pharmacy
they had like
20 guys watching
and they were looking
at me and they were like
you're rooting for
Netherlands
and I'm like
no
you're from the Netherlands
and I'm like
I'm not from the Netherlands
and I'm like
come on dude
you're Netherlands
you can tell by my voice
I'm not from the Netherlands
but then I can't tell
the difference
it's so funny
like where do you think
I'm from
like Australia
I'm like
do I sound Australian
like to us
yeah
wow
so anyway
so they're like
come watch with us
watch the second half
over there
were you secretly
kind of rooting
for the Netherlands
sort of
yes
yes
I knew
sort of for the Netherlands
as soon as they
invited me in
I'm all fucking
Argentina
yeah
and then they won
in a shootout
like a comeback shootout
in overtime
and then they
sent their kids off
to get some quetzalteca
they're like
we gotta celebrate
you're drinking
and I'm like
hey
and you're gonna have it
it's ass
it's ass
it's ass
yeah
it's like they're
Malort
kind of yeah
do you ever worry
like alright
I'm blacking out
with these strangers
in the middle of
Guatemala
I gotta get home
I gotta get back
to my tree house
or whatever the fuck
no I got no home
it's fine
if they invite me
in a hotel
in a hostel
their place was like this
that place was like
this three dollar
a night hotel
yeah
with a dog
just like
poops
everywhere
but like
white
like it had
it had been there
for quite some time
with a shower
way away
that dripped
it was so cold
I had to get
two of those
Jesus candles
and light them
just to heat up
my apartment
or my little
like room
yeah
holy moly
you live an interesting
life man
it's amazing
yeah
I'm with Mark
it is
you're very trusting
I mean
you're getting
black out
people are cool
I mean
there are
people are cool
most people are cool
that's the story
the story is not
Jordan missed three shots
the story is
Jordan went
23
of 26
for 57 points
ah
I see what you're saying
people are cool
you stay positive
people are cool
yeah
it's not
that's not even a rare thing
almost always
people are cool
there's pickpocketing
going on
it's not just that
people become
uncool with booze
sometimes
yeah
true
yeah
not anyone we hang out
with anymore
because you
lose those people
you weed them out
you drink with the people
who you don't want to be
you know
we all know the people
we're talking about
the ones who corner you
and get dark
like a dark cloud
where you're like
oh boy
I gotta get out of this
oh yeah
so let me tell you
another game
I played
with Quetzalteca
I was going to a rivalry game
in
some city in Guatemala
doesn't even matter
some nothing town
baseball
no
this is a soccer game
got it
and so
everyone's out there
partying before the game
there's no booze
because it's a rivalry game
they don't want fights
damn
so we're out there
then it starts raining
everyone crowds in
under the awning
of bodegas
bodega
get it now
hell yeah
and then we start talking
to some people
you know
it's me and like
three guys in the house
like you guys aren't from here
why do you know
like we're just gonna
check out soccer
and we start talking
they're like
what do you know about the
I'm like not much
they start teaching us chants
stuff like that
they go
eventually they go
you're sitting with us
I'm like no no no
we couldn't get tickets there
because like that's like your home
it's right behind the goal
and he goes fuck that
you're coming in
I'm like but our ticket's not there
he goes none of that matters
but I was like alright
we're all getting drunk ahead of time
because there's no booze in there
and then they start going
oh there's booze in there
ah boy
I'm like what do you mean
he goes you just gotta take it in
and they taught me something
that I'm gonna teach all of you now
oh here we go
get ready for him
to spread his butt cheeks
do you have any plastic bags
anything small
oh you might be onto something
I have the bag
that the limes came in
okay
do you have a balloon
dump that
unless you have something smaller
unless you have something smaller
that seems bigger
that seems bigger
do you just shoot this
no
I can shoot any cocktails
like a coke bag
yeah it's a shooter
okay let me show you something
and they have flavored versions of it too
alright
now when I was at LSU
we used to put booze in Ziplocs
and line our coats
oh really
yeah
so this is a thing
I'm gonna teach you guys
that this will get you booze
into any place anywhere
alright
this is exciting
hot tip folks
this is what they taught us
they go
okay they're gonna search you
but not search you that that well
alright
let me get ahead of that
just a second
it's
it's not bad
the smell is not the worst
you're trying it
it's gonna be like kerosene
I have a little sip right now
I don't
I don't want it
it smells like purine
it's like Purell
okay
yeah
it's good for the insides
so you pour it into a bag
this is what they teach you to do
and you just
put it in your shirt or something
I mean they have smaller bags
at the bodegas
it's like an IV
like a little Capri Sun
yeah
that could go wrong
and then
then they have these bags everywhere there
you tie it off
whatever
alright
keys to it
that's exactly right
okay
so they go
this feels
like what your balls feel like
oh
oh
how do you keep it there though
it's in your waistband
oh
TSA is about to get so much worse
after this video
if they get you
what's that gonna feel like
women too
that's just a cancer
yeah
just cancer
yes you can
who's gonna go like this
when they're churching you
Mark can you frisk him
yeah
feels like a ball bag
yep
I'll give it to you
and then during the game
it's just a slow
you pull it out
and then you go
wow
oh
so it's like
so no sharing
they're sharing
oh my god
oh you couldn't have gotten a pineapple
what is happening
that was great
now pass it around
I'm okay
I'll try it though
there's one pube on there
I have shot glasses
I mean that's definitely
a classier way to do it
so I asked the guy
so you got one on you now
he goes
I have 17 on me
whoa
that's a big ball bag
that's a lot of balls
yeah
so we got into the stadium
and he goes
hey they're carrying this giant flag in
go grab the flag
as if you're working with them
I mean this is like massive
it covers the whole like section
yeah
so we're like okay
he goes just sneak in with them
just snuck in with them
and then at some point
I'm sitting there
me and like the three guys
and then somebody goes
hey hey
said something in Spanish
like this
and I'm like what
and he said
then he's like
I had trouble understanding Spanish
especially early on like that
and he goes
hey you cannot sit here
this is not for you
and I was like okay
and then that guy
who invited us
was way back
goes they're cool
they're with us
uh huh
okay
this is quite the lineup we have
thank you
so you're all good
yeah we're all good
it was the
it was the
it was such a fun experience
whoa
hey mazel tov
are we shooting this
or are we just taking a sip
what are we doing
you can take a sip
take a sip
we got to see what it do
whoa
oh boy
if you get enough of those
you can just say you got
prostate cancer
did you just try some
it's ass
that's not great
I mean it's so
I don't hate it
I don't hate it
I don't hate it
nah it's not bad
it's got like a hint of like
it's got like a hint of
a hint of like
vegetable oil
you know what reminds me
of a little bit
what's that stuff
the Greeks drink
ouzo
ouzo
it's got like a hint
of that type of like
wood type flavor
which I actually don't mind
no I don't mind it
this is not bad
I'm shocked you could
get this here
it's from Houston, Texas
he can find anything
that's what the back
of the bottle says
wow the importers
it's not bad
what do you guys think
over there
I didn't try it
what do you think
Peters
it's palatable
yeah
it's better than vodka
alcohol distilled
from molasses
I got a question
Ari
when you're in these
when you're gone
for what were you gone
eight months
yeah about
yeah
when you're gone
for eight months
what do you miss the most
about America
hey good question
that's a great question
not drinking out of ball bags
dude if you don't think
I'm doing that
at any sport
I go to from now on
just to save the money
I'm with you
forget about dry games
they cost a lot
oh yeah
it's crazy
it costs a lot
oh Yankee Stadium
forget about it
I'm getting boozed
$28 for a surf side
at Yankee Stadium
like that's
that's robbery
whoa 16 ounces
do you see that thing
that D.L. Hewley posted
where he said
Netflix didn't kill
movie theaters
whatever popcorn
and movies
whatever you're charging
for popcorn and movies
he said like $6 soda
or whatever
like alright
you haven't been to a movie
in a while
but he said like
it was like
those prices kill movies
I was like
you're not wrong
there's some truth to it
yeah yeah
make it acceptable
that's why I like
when in Atlanta
they're a football stadium
they're like
we're gonna be affordable
like $1 hot dogs
$5 beer
like they used to be
they're like
once you're in
we want you to have a good time
and come back
for Falcons games
and for like
whatever
so what did you miss most
about
so when I
there's some stuff I missed
and there's some stuff
when I got back
that I realized
oh I had been missing that
okay
you know
miss my dog
like I mean like crazy
I made so many friends
with street dogs
ah
you were lonely
yeah I went so nuts
with street dogs
found some
you give them a couple treats
start buying treats
couple treats
they'll go with you
for like a three hour hike
and come back
you know
no worry
they're gonna gnarle your leg
on the way up
they beat to death
the bad ones
so it's taken care of me
for me
so when I got back
what I really noticed
is
brushing your teeth
with sink water
that's big
glorious
and flushing toilet paper
instead of throwing it away
what about a tampon
what
what happens with that
yeah what do you do
with your tampons
in South America
well I mean
I do what I always do
I soak them in alcohol
and throw them out
of my ass
bring them into the game
and then slurp on them
yeah
if you're not boofing
you ain't living
t-shirt
yeah that part was
Bobby Kelly says
it's only funny
he goes
it's funny like
finally
look at that
strange
just joking Bobby
he said it's
it's more dangerous
to brush your teeth
with tap water there
than to brush your teeth
with toilet water here
yeah I believe that
you could dip your
toothpaste in there
and then you'd be like
and then brushed it and they're like, you'll be fine.
- And that was the whole Seinfeld episode.
The toothbrush, it was the girl from
Second City, remember that?
My wife did all
the right things in Mexico. She did
one tap water with the toothbrush
on accident. She forgot. She was like, oh,
that's three drops of tap water.
She got Montezuma's revenge. It ruined
the whole trip. It's such a funny
word for shitting yourself. I know.
Who's Montezuma? I don't know. I think he was a
Spanish conqueror and they said
and he killed a lot of the Aztecs.
Yeah. And then they said
he said, where's the gold? And they were like, in the
middle of the country and they sent in the middle of the country
and all of his guys died of
dysentery. Whoa.
So it was revenge on Montezuma. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And not his revenge. Yes. Got it.
Damn. Yeah. Grammatically, it's
problematic.
It's not Montezuma's revenge.
Okay, now let's flip it. Yeah.
What did you get back to America
and go, I missed that shit
when I was over there? I gotta
be honest and it's, I don't know. It's not
it's not you guys. I'm not attacking
you guys here. I mean,
it's us. Obsessed
with politics in an unclassy
way. Unclassy?
It's just tacky.
The amount that we talk about politics here.
Yeah. We tried not to do it
on air. Yeah, no, you guys are good about it on air for sure.
For sure. It's smart not to, but just like
just in general. I feel like it's everywhere.
So you kind of, unless, yeah,
you try to make this escapist
as possible. I think that's what people want.
That's what they want. At least here.
Yeah. But remember when you were
in the 90s and somebody brought up Kosovo
and you're like, shut up, you nerd.
Sarajevo. Hey, they're
bombing and whatever. You're like, get out of here, you dweeb.
Or back then, you'd be like, I've never heard of that.
Yeah. Try to watch Beavis and Butthead. No one had a take
already. Yes. Now we have a take on
everything. Try to watch Beavis and Butthead is exactly right.
Yeah, I try not to weigh in unless I got a good
joke. Joke. That's kind of a
joke. But you still gotta watch it to
write the joke. Totally. So you're still consuming.
No, yeah, no, it's a
problem. Yeah, but you gotta know what's going
on in the world too. I guess. Do you?
Yeah. Do you though? Yeah. Why do I know who
Scaramucci is? Let me ask you two questions.
How is your life different knowing versus not
knowing? And how is the world going to change
whether you or don't know? I'm not going to change.
Nothing I'm going to do is going to change the world regardless.
Yeah. It's just, I just want to know stuff.
I mean, how are you going to change
the world reading a Steinbeck book?
Right. No, you're not. It's knowledge. It's good. It's good
to, it's good to take things in. That's fair.
But Steinbeck is art.
He's a brilliant writer. This is a
hey, swallow, bloomy. Political discussion by people
who have barely researched things.
Yeah. I think you could, look, I think you could
tune out a lot of the current events, like the
scandals and stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
But there's stuff you should know.
There's stuff you should know. But I think people
make it their whole personality. I think it's
way more, way more important to know what was
going to happen with the L train that ended up not
happening. We got together. We go, that can't
happen. And we changed their fucking
plans. Hear, hear. Village.
Takes a village.
Montezuma's revenge. So what
would it be to be grammatically correct?
Revenge on Montezuma. There you
go. Didn't have the, didn't, we need something
catchier, though. Yeah.
Fuck Montezuma.
I'm double checking my Montezuma facts.
All right. But it was, I mean, she
was laid up, and I got a look at
the toilet at one point, and it was just yellow
bubbly liquid.
You just hand divorce papers under the door.
Okay.
She would have been able to sign them. She had no energy.
Damn, that sucks.
It was bad. Like, she couldn't, I had to help her to the
toilet. Retribution. That's love right there. That's love.
We always think of love as, like, bullshit, but
really, love is taking care of someone when they're
fucking struggling, you know? Yeah, I was wiping
her hands. You're a good hubby. Mm-hmm. You were wiping her?
Well, I would hang her to the front
to back or back to front. That's a good question.
I hit her with a hose. Who are you? What's your name?
I'm Maddie. Maddie, nice to meet you.
Are you always here? Sometimes.
The other guy went and took off. When we have a guest,
when we have a guest who we know wants to have a couple
cocktails, it's a good idea. And we don't
know what the fuck we're making. I did tell, though, I was like, hey,
what I'm asking you to make, that's not a simple pour.
You're gonna need someone. Are there
other drinks that we planned? I did say get a
bow-type type of person. That's perfect.
Yeah, let's get another round
of a new thing. We've got a Pisco Sour going.
Ooh, this is who you were talking about.
Okay, this is Peru. Peru?
I love a Pisco Sour. It's Peru. So there's a
battle going on on who invented the Pisco.
Macho Pichu.
Macho Pichu.
Macho Pichu. It's a fun to say.
Macho Pisco. I like it. I like it.
I didn't quite understand it at first, but I like it.
It's either Chile or it's Peru.
And they're both like, fuck
them, we have the Pisco.
The Pisco's from us.
Now, I believe it's clearly Peru.
And the reason is, because they think
it originates from a city
named Pisco.
Yeah, they're still, are they both
calling it the Pisco? Yeah.
End of story. Yeah. End of story.
What is a Pisco Sour?
It's Pisco Sour
and sweet, simple,
a little bit of egg white.
A little egg white. You can get it in different
flavors.
I will tell you, get some protein
in our day. Blueberry, yeah.
Yeah, because I've been to Chile and Argentina.
I hiked Patagonia two Novembers
ago. Nice. I was just there last
November. So what is
this, like a rum
kind of stuff? It's its own thing.
Oh, it's its own thing. It's like Malorts. It's its own
thing. Look up what Pisco is.
Wait, where'd you go in Patagonia? Where'd you hike?
I was there last November. I was there
a year after. Yeah, last November. So
I found your wallet. The trip was Chile and
Argentina. Yeah.
We. It's a great brandy. It's supposed to be
a longer trip, but we got stuck in the Miami
airport for 37 hours. Oh!
It's not fun.
Peru and Chile both claim its origin. There you go.
But we went all the way down to Punta Arenas.
It's kind of like the Wright Brothers. Everywhere I go, they have the Wright Brothers.
They're like, they're from here.
First in flight. I'm like, it's got to be one place.
I'm so jealous. Same with Rosa Parks.
Everybody claims Rosa Parks. All I wanted to do after being stuck in Miami for 37
hours was see a fucking penguin.
I saw the penguins right after they gave birth. It was a bunch of baby penguins.
That's so cute. Wow, that's
fun. Yeah.
The dads would come back with a bunch of grass
and put it in there. Yeah.
I want to correct the record on Montezuma. I fucked up.
He was an Aztec ruler.
He was Spanish killed.
And this was his revenge on the Spanish.
This is his revenge. That makes sense.
That makes sense.
I bet someone in the comments already beat you to that.
Someone who had this diarrhea
was like, I looked it up.
These are my favorite comments. You don't know anything about Montezuma's
revenge. And then, no explanation?
No? What should we know?
Just, you're wrong. I'm not going to tell
you what the real thing is. Okay.
Also, if I would remember it, I don't want to be the diarrhea
guy. You know? Like, can I just be the
conqueror? That's your legacy? Yeah. Can you just make people
waste two days of their vacation?
Right before he died, he's like, I'll get my
revenge. I'll get my revenge.
Right.
Did you hike Patagonia at all? Because we did
Torres del Paine on the Chile side and then
Mount Fitzroy on the
Torres del Paine. I was in a camper
and I parked while
camping on a river
bank in the middle of nowhere.
Torres del Paine was past the river
way, way in the distance for two days.
You saw a glimpse of it for like
ten minutes on day three.
Got sunny, opened up,
and you just got this most beautiful view
you've ever seen in your life. That's fabulous.
Now, do you feel when you're out there, you're
representing America? Like, do you try
to be nice and try to go, hey, I
tipped well. I'm cool with everybody.
I'm an American.
I do notice some American stereotypes.
Oh, let's hear it. When you're moved enough, you notice
it. Like, you know, when you haven't seen somebody in a while, like,
oh, I never realized you're kind of this.
Kind of this way. Yes, yes.
We are confident
where no confidence is warranted.
We didn't earn it. We will go into
American feminism as stupid feminism.
American sports knowledge is stupid
sports knowledge. We'll claim we know what Montezuma
revenge is without even researching it.
We are so fucking confident.
Blindly. And just like
carry conversations. We're
great at a party. Yeah. We
bring attitude
to a party. Australians
bring I'll find the coke in the city. Yeah.
You know, and we're louder, too.
We're loud. We know what we're doing
even if we don't. Why are we so confident?
I think it's our
most dominant place. That's it.
And something about the tea in the harbors.
Yeah. And we come from like
wealth. The poor people here are
are one percenters in
other countries. Yeah. We're the white women
of countries. We're entitled.
We want everything. We're confident. So funny. That's a bit.
That's a bit.
Dunning Kruger. What is
that? It's the dumbest person is the most confident
in their beliefs. Ouch. Ronnie Chang
had a great bit about it during COVID.
And he was like, all these dummies talking about how
viruses are spread. Like, you were a D student.
You're supposed to shut the fuck up
and let the A students talk. Now the D
students are all talking.
That's funny. Yeah. Some people know how
like metal burns during 9-11.
Like, you don't know any of this. Shut the fuck up,
D student. Yes, that's so true.
Dunning Kruger.
Cognitive bias with low ability individuals over
esterity, their competence. It's
true. What's your favorite country that you
went to on this one? And what's your favorite South
American country?
Favorite is Ecuador.
I spent six months there during the pandemic.
Whoa! Yeah. I went
when stuff shut down
and I remember a Soder story
of he went to the airport
to go do the Tempe improv.
Okay. And then they called him.
They turn around. They
shut down. So turn around. Yeah.
He was already playing a one-third capacity
room. Right. And then he was like,
it's like, oh, so he spent $100 to get to the
airport. $100 back. Yep.
Can't even go. So you're just out $200.
Yep. No shows. You didn't call him for
spots. And I was
like, I don't want to be here for this.
This seems like the right time to get away. Yes.
So I got away to Ecuador.
You and Moneal.
What? You and Moneal? No.
Didn't he go?
No. List.
List visited me. Okay. Sorry.
Moneal came to me from Machu Picchu.
Oh, okay. That's what I saw.
I got away. I remember
doing an ad read.
for you guys i did a uh for my old podcast yeah long live skeptic tank um you had a podcast i
recorded ahead of time us in a car and i go he's got a new he's got a new podcast called you had
a different title for this one more drink one more drink and it's me in front of a waterfall
there was like a pod called one more drink already with like six reviews but we were like let's just
not take another name even if they might not exist anymore yeah yeah i mean this way my
drunk is way more fun all right and the spirit of this pod was one more drink because of mark and i
just being at the cellar and seeing each other you know you used to drink every night and then
you see each other once a week because of the road and it turned into one more drink and then
we'd be close the ball my core memory of new york stand-up comedy two one is being immediately put
on the late show at the cellar and so i'm like oh these are booze bags and i'm in learning how
to appreciate a bullet rye on the rocks yeah you know with booze bags and
you know and i'm like oh these are booze bags and i'm in learning how to appreciate a bullet rye on
lists for no reason um like the next booze bag yeah and then and then the other memory was us
being at the old fat black bar which used to be a fucking jam yeah and me and norman just a one
one more one more beer one more beer and then all of a sudden you see a light cracking through the
wind yeah the windows like oh no but also oh yes yeah you get out and those guys like picking up
all the garbage or delivery's going and you're like oh no yeah you feel like a loser but you
yeah yeah exactly ask people going to work and you're going to sleep yeah the problem is that
the fat black which those you don't know is is like the satellite room of the comedy cellar
they just would they used to just be a bar and they wouldn't kick us out no kick us out and free
drinks free drinks and the staff would be drinking with us and like do not try to go toe-to-toe with
that bar staff no holy shit they'll drink you under the table you got that right but we we try
and we'd still leave at like six seven in the morning you win if you fail yeah but man it would
it would get wild and fun and we'd still leave at like six seven in the morning you win if you fail
and just like it's just if the vibe was right it was hard to leave yeah when they got that new the
new cellar they're about to open like does that mean get the bar back and they're like no i'm like
well guess who fought for the wall the wall though in there that's me save the show buddy i wish went
in there there was since i was came gone it came back there was no wall we couldn't talk at the
bar much better show no all right so anyway in ecuador when when i i was like i'm off this is
silly uh let me get out of here i've wanted to travel it's time to now so i went to ecuador for
got a rented a car and just drove around the country meanwhile during that time you guys

the people the the food what kind of food is that i don't even know what ecuador is not that much
specific to ecuador besides encebollado they have a specific type of ceviche but it's just the
freshest fish and it's like there's no real tourism board so it's just like everything you find is
magical oh i can see that so you whip out a two at a place they use the american dollar oh really

and just pisco straight is really good yeah but people mostly do pisco sours that's their drink
now i get why they're fighting over this this is delightful this is really fucking good
i added a splash of pineapple to just make it how does this compare ari to like a
chilean or whatever peruvian right there yeah sorry right there no if i got this at a bar
cusco i'm like great thank you this is awesome thank you yeah what would that be at a bar
14 cents i mean yeah like three dollars nice when you were in argentina or chile was the
currency rate constantly changing because when i was went each it was like per shop they would be
doing the math bolivia was that interesting so bolivia was was um it was seven to one but they're
like you are dumb if you try to go to a bank and get seven to one that's dumb because the actual
street currency was between 11 and 14 to one whoa yeah wow that's crazy our i went with a guide for
all the hiking and we were like oh where can we exchange our bills and they're like no no keep
it american keep it american every single shop is going to be different and sure enough it was we
would go into one restaurant be like okay how much does this cost they'd be like one second then they'd
get out a calculator and do yeah and they go like this and turn it show it and then you'd go to and
you're like oh i think i know what the conversion rate is i think it's this and then you'd go to a
different shop it's a massive difference it's a massive difference for a hundred bucks how far
it'll go it'll go two extra days if you just get the right place now you're exotic over there where
the lady's going hey who's this hunk of jew uh uh my hair what's left of my hair would get touched a
that's the telltale sign yeah um little beard play yeah no it wasn't as much as i would have loved
but it was all right yeah the locals are like what are you yeah i'm trying to think when i
went to deep jungle and stuff more action from the street dog it wasn't like it wasn't like
cambodia or thailand where they see you as a way out right right yeah um there they're really like
oh i could latch on to you yeah really bro like how they two
ways in in cambodia or thailand they can get you on the hook one i'm here i'm moving you to back to
the states sure tucson oh my god what a better life classic what did you say tucson yeah some
oh really oh well that was my example of the dumbest city i could think of
and the second level is just send me 500 bucks twice a year for my kids
i'm having trouble okay and they have like eight of those guys on the hook
oh how you been i i you know i'm doing great you know i'm having a little trouble my kid needs
bracelets i consider ghosting her if i get back i mean these old men are like right 500 bucks
nothing on your day you know they do that twice a year okay and they think like i'm still gonna
fuck her again when i get there so those are the two ways they get you on the hook there but that's
they really see that as like you as an out yeah latin america they're not maybe columbia
yeah i could see that now are there nightclubs like what do you do at night
depends where okay columbia is one of the most world medellin is one of the most worldly cities
in the world oh i didn't know that it's so high level it's so cool the food the the beat that like
the the artsy you know like bars you know when you go to like a cool like east village bar yeah
that's that's that's everywhere in columbia oh i didn't know that i just know the blow capital
you know about oh we did have a fun time what's a toot park toot park toot toot nope oh prosta ah
really yeah what's what's happening there it's prostitutes but like what's the scene like what's
it look like so it's a nice park okay it's mostly mostly um if i find out where it is you'll you'll
see it toot park it's mostly cement but a little some trees and shit and you just go see the
prostitutes cops are there they don't care it's legal yeah and we just bought like lucy's crushes
and just sat and smoked and watched these toots get picked up wow it's so fun it's like this
zoo for adults what it's like the zoo for adults it's a medellin it's a medellin yeah sorry yeah
it's so fun to watch and you see most guys just go up trying to talk because they want to talk
themselves into actually paying for it yeah they don't just go how much they go what's your name
how do these prostitutes look are they are they attractive or no good question sam you're question
champ charlie rose baby yeah i'm that drunk um the mixture between like uh you could never score one
two to like just girl next door like a regular girl that's still pretty pretty good range you're
not getting a salicus no all right yeah because you always hear about these patrice in a tube top
would be pretty rough oh god oh you always hear about the patrice o'neill and norton would always
go to brazil to get hookers back in the day and what is that how who's that guy that's the guy
from spin doctors i was trying to do oh that's fun oh i was like wait i was like i'm wearing that hat
now oh so one or two princes kneel right in front of you he's been to peru clearly yes hold on what's
up oh reversible that's right brody that's alpaca oh yeah damn salicus in a dress i'm like just make
it quick come on it's like my dick it's a fucking good picture brother yeah that is good guys i
honestly here's what i missed my friends i mean i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna
lie i'm not gonna lie i'm not gonna lie yeah a lot of times i was in a bar or not hikes hikes were
different people but in a bar and stuff like that i'd be like damn like you guys specifically you
two would have like fuck if i could just like say come down you'd love these places yeah i hear you
because you can't really connect with this you don't have the same inside jokes and you don't
know the same jokes like oh you guys would make fun of these guys with me right do you get lonely
at all yeah
yeah there's moments of extreme extreme like like soul crushing loneliness
but there's just moments but see that's when i would go to the phone i'd be like oh what's he
up to let me look at his insta or what's this guy up to you don't even bring a phone i took
that ability away from me good for you you just didn't have a no i got a phone got a new number
with no none of my contacts none of my emails no nothing and so if i had to
look up a flight or a bus or whatever i could do it on the phone or if i met somebody i'd be like
yeah let's i'll talk to you tomorrow let's do it yeah but yeah did you get a little too chummy with
some guys where you're like what are you tomorrow and some guys like hey well i'm leaving tomorrow
get off me yeah a couple times i got too lonely and clingy with dudes it was funny it's like
yeah i got i got i got like leery with dudes yeah i need companionship yeah i've been there yeah i
had that in college i just went to college without knowing people and i was like what are you guys
doing they're like oh
uh something else yeah exactly where's else yeah well you're starting from scratch
starting from scratch it felt good it's kind of like norm saying we lost all his money you know
clean i'm like i've
gotta bring something to the table norm is so zen though you just piss away a shitload of your
maybe your whole life's money yeah and then you're just like it's good yeah like that's crazy to me
crazy but that's i'm sure there was a moment where he wasn't like right away it wasn't like
this is good it was like probably came to terms with that totally yeah but so there is something
though that i that i realized like look i'm a whatever i am as a comedian i'm somewhere i'm
not the best i'm not the worst yeah i'm somewhere but i'm a professional new york comedian hell
yeah raised in la perfected new york i'm so much funnier than a norm core person in guatemala
right it's not it's it's no question yes you know if brian scalabrini was just playing
pick up hoops in cambodia he would dominate like who's this fucking i love when he does
that white mamba yeah and it's just like so it's like my weapon is humor
and you're like oh i'm i'm actually really funny compared to the whole world
of course you're the one percent yeah so that part was kind of cool i could bring something to the
table but there's a language barrier there's a culture barrier yeah so you gotta you gotta
figure out what they laugh at because you know we've all had jokes in the middle of nowhere
where you're like this is funny and people are like shut up shut up who are you yeah so you
gotta find their thing yeah find out something to reference yeah yeah you know you're like oh
did a lot of pisco what are you gay you know or whatever like hey is that what is that a ball
bag or is that a drink you know that piece going before the show he was he wrote it at a time yeah
so are you there trying to write this shit not trying to write at all you're not trying to write
at all no but did you write by just by being there do you just have like a notepad every once in a
while like i have a notepad for like why journaled that's cool like i want to keep track of all the
stuff i tried every day and sometimes we like fall behind five days and like i catch up like
what did i do just like bed to breakfast and i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god
yeah um the other way um just so i can remember names and places and stuff kind of what being a
comic is is journaling is you're just like this happened to me today can i make this yeah into a
thing yeah but yeah um i'll i'll write from that later yeah like i have the stuff so it'll start
to come out you'll reread and be like oh this is kind of funny yeah i've done it before and then
i'll like start like let me do a story about this and then it'll be like let me go back to my old
south southeast asia and find about some bus in vietnam like oh right that guy was there yes i
forgot about that part and then that goes into it i do that with my phone i'm like looking over old
photos oh wow 2016 i was this i did this yeah oh that's right the whole place i forgot i went to
i went to a gay bathhouse what was that wait i blew three dudes and took a spit roast that was
crazy i remember the blowing not the spit roast this is terrible on the last pot i talked about
and my friend who was there with me goes hey i have photos from that that weekend i was like oh
my god send them to me so he sent me the photos wow donkey show the bar it's just me like arm and
arm with some crazy fat latina i have no memory of this i don't remember the shirt i'm wearing i
don't i didn't know half the guys on the trip wow insane wow after college you're so much freer
then oh completely you're just kind of taking that credo and you just made it your thing now
i guess yeah
honestly guys there's no way you were freer in college look at you right now good point you're
very free yeah when your life flashed before your eyes it's gonna be long and weird
speaking of long and weird
what uh yeah are you ever gonna do like a a one-man show type thing not one man show but
like maybe some kind of special just like hear all the places i've been and and that's a good
idea it could be kind of a fun because not many people have just shut off like you like off the
grid yeah i'm trying to i'm trying to run it i'm trying to run it i'm trying to run it
i'm trying to write a book of short stories about there we go put the journal in there
that's a wreck for me by the way is just read short stories like fucking you'll be shocked
you can tackle it it's like it's episode of like love death and robots but like i can handle seven
minutes let's load it up i'll try to read one a day i'll just like let me just bang out one thing
a day commit to it even if it takes you three days to read a short story you're like i can
war and peace like dude nah no well some of the really dense stuff and then some of the stuff you
think is going to be dense is not that dense you're like this is pretty readable you know
and then sometimes i'll just buy like i'll just go to like the strand or go to some random bookstore

Batman can't jump, tin cup.
And Bull Durham.
Ting Cup is like a little forgotten gem, too.
It's a fun one, man.
Rene Russo was just cooking in the 90s.
Hell yeah.
Every fucking movie.
So good.
Thomas Crown Affair.
Major League.
Major League.
Get Shorty.
Oh, boy.
She was very milfy.
Yeah.
She's still got it.
Still got it.
She's great, yeah.
Yeah, good for her.
I'm a fan.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I re-watched Out of the Past for like the 12th time this week.
Mitchum, it's my favorite fucking movie.
There you go.
It's like the best movie ever.
I got to re-watch it.
I haven't seen it in 10 years.
Re-watch it's the best.
My favorite line ever.
She's the femme fatale.
She goes, you're like a leaf that flows from one gutter to the next.
Oh, that's great.
Cool.
It's so good.
I made a woman watch it, and she was dreading it, and she was like, it's one of the best
movies I've ever seen.
Hey, women hate black and white.
She made me watch Panic in Needle Park right before.
She made you watch it?
Yeah, I'd never seen it.
Oh, what'd you think?
It's good, but it's two hours of heroin.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Upper West Side heroin.
It was good, for sure, but I'm just like, come on, man.
This is a fucking. I like the ending a lot.
Yeah.
Not a ton happens in that movie.
I watched it, too, and I was like, come on.
For heroin, this is slow.
I don't know why.
I can handle a movie about a gambling addict, but something about a drug addict really just
is like, ugh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Even the Nirvana doc when it's-
Montage of heck.
Yeah, when it's like Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love with the fucking baby screaming, and
they're on drugs, I'm like, I hate this shit.
I'm with you.
You're pieces of shit.
It's not-
It's gross.
I don't like it.
I don't fucking like it.
I'm with you.
It's hard for me to watch.
Oh, my God.
Oh, here we go.
Hey, Noam.
Wow.
Noam Corman.
All right.
It's just me.
You're getting hotter.
Did you get a surgery out there in Guatemala?
A lot of-
Medellin.
That was a plastic surgery.
What's going on, Mark?
I noticed you're more interested in my stories now.
Right, yeah.
I noticed you guys are laughing at my stories a lot more.
This is fucking crazy.
You would not have made it out of here.
You would not have made it out of Ecuador with that fucking top.
Jew Paul.
Good to have you back.
All right.
This Pisco Sour is hitting.
Now, where the hell are you going to go next?
You've already conquered the hills of Oaxaca.
Where have you never been that you're like, I got to go here?
Well, I got to go back to Nicaragua.
I got turned away.
What?
What happened?
They saw your act?
I took a two and a half-
Sorry.
They saw Jew.
I got turned away from Jew's out on Netflix right now.
They picked it up.
Oh, is that right?
Wow.
Perfect timing.
Everybody's loving you guys.
Yeah.
I actually told them we're going to put it out in August.
I was like, hey guys, if what I'm hearing is true.
Yeah, they're like, Kanye sold out two shows.
We'll take it this month.
We've got to even things out.
Now's the time.
But I, what was I talking about?
Nipple pit.
Nicaragua.
Two and a half hour bus from a boat from fucking El Salvador.
And then I get there.
Everyone, they stamp everybody and they go like, Ari, can you come with me?
Oh, okay.
Like, close the door behind you.
I'm like, what?
Close the door behind you.
And they start grilling me.
They're against journalists there.
Can't have any journalism, like any stuff on your, like LinkedIn, if it's journalism
classes.
You're not a journalist.
I know.
You have a journal.
So the more they search, the more it looked like I might be one.
I've been on CNN.
You know, I've been on CNN.
I've been on CNN.
I've been on the Wall Street Journal, like, podcast.
I've been on, like, you know.
Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson.
I've been on Rogue.
Is he a journalist?
Right.
At some point, three hours they're grilling me.
Yeah.
Taking calls from the Capitol.
And eventually they go, I'm really sorry, buddy.
You can't come in today.
So what do you do in that situation?
Three hour boat back to this port town in El Salvador.
Then the guy, the boat carrier's like, what?
And I'm like, they got turned away.
He goes, I'm really sorry, man.
I'm like, can you get back to the Capitol?
He goes, I'll get, give me five more bucks.
I'll get you back to the Capitol.
Damn.
Four hours to the Capitol.
Here's the best thing about not having a schedule.
You just roll with it.
That's true.
I was going to go scuba diving, go to some cigar factories, do some fun stuff in Nicaragua.
All right.
Plan has changed.
I did have two days of hostel paid for.
You're not going to get a refund in, like, Managua or whatever.
But then, like, and then, like, oh, where do I want to go?
So I'm like, fuck it.
Medellin.
Yeah.
I flew from San Salvador to Medellin.
Had a blast for 10 days.
And.
And Medellin.
And I wasn't going to go to Columbia.
I went to Columbia.
Whoa.
There's something fun about not having a playbook.
Bro, it's the best.
If you go to a bar, you're like, let's all go to this bar.
And there's a line around the block.
You don't go, shit.
You just go, how about that place?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's some, let's just do that.
Living by the seat of your pants.
Even when you, when a flight gets fucked and it gets canceled and you're like, fuck, I'm
stuck in this city for a night.
You go from being like, fuck, to like, I wonder what I'm going to do tonight.
I'm in Chicago.
Yeah, right.
What can I do?
And then like, man, there's something fucking magical about just hitting like a hotel bar,
ordering like a fucking steak tartare, getting a couple of whiskeys on the rocks and you're
just lit up and you're just like, I feel fucking great.
Yeah.
I got the whole city as your oyster.
The best one of those.
And you're going on like a little adventure.
It's fun.
Yeah.
The best one of those we ever did was, um, were you there at Bonnaroo?
You were.
Yes.
Me and Big Jay.
I think I was there the year after you guys.
Oh, okay.
So we're all there.
On the way back, there's hurricanes or whatever.
So early fights went on.
They went off.
Later flights got delayed.
Jay got off.
And he goes, yeah, my flight's taking off.
They go, oh, my flight's being delayed.
It might get canceled.
And he goes, what are you going to do?
And I go, this is from Nashville.
And I go, I'm going to call Rafi May.
He's going to invite me over to barbecue.
Oh, how about that?
I'm almost positive.
And I was, he was like, really?
I'm like, I mean, I'll be okay.
And I call.
I was like, hey, my flight's delayed.
He's like, man, come over.
I got the egg going.
You got to get over here.
The green egg.
Yeah.
And we went over there.
Barbecue.
Just ate barbecue and watched the induction for Green Day into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Oh, that's cool.
And just had a blast.
I got to call that guy over my fucking phone call.
Damn, yeah, that is pretty great.
If you can roll with stuff, it just makes your life.
Here, here.
If you're not locked into your expectations.
You're allowed to have a moment of like, fuck.
But then after that moment, you roll with it.
You got to spin it.
Give me 10 seconds to go, damn it.
I will say Mark is so good at that shit.
I think I'm pretty good with it, too.
We had a setback with our movie today, and we both didn't panic.
We both were just like, it's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay.
And we both completely, I mean, you get the fuck out of the system, but then you're kind
of like, we're going to pivot.
We're going to figure it out.
And that attitude in life is like, it's so fucking essential.
Oh, yeah.
The fact that it could be worse is actually a real thing.
It could be a lot worse.
That's true.
I don't know how, I'm not going to tell you names.
What are we doing?
Which one is this?
This is a Mezcalita.
This is just for the, one for the road.
I don't even know what this is.
One for the road.
Based on the One for the Road podcast.
So the Margarita is like low class in Mexico.
Okay.
The Mezcalita.
It's just a Mezcal Margarita.
Way better, I think.
Way better.
Smokier.
Everything better with Mezcal.
I love a Mezcal Negroni, too.
Here, here.
Woo, smoky.
Oh, my God.
Very nice.
You're on fire.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
What's your name, Mandy?
Margarita?
Maddie.
Maddie.
Maddie.
That's salt on the rim.
Fuck.
Taheen.
Taheen.
I love that.
Taheen.
Now, let me just say this.
Side note.
I kind of like the no journalist idea.
Fuck journalists.
Let us do our thing and quit documenting everything.
I don't want to answer questions.
Yeah, I don't want to.
You need some journalists.
I know.
I'm just saying.
I'm going to push back on this one.
I like a place that doesn't have it.
Let's have one place without it.
Yeah, let's have Trump with no journalism.
That's a good idea.
Well, this is Nicaragua I'm talking here.
Okay, but I'm saying that.
I don't think it's a one-size-fits-all system.
We need journalists.
But, hey, if we can have one place without it, fuck it.
Let's party there.
I hear you.
I hear you.
You're not wrong.
Yeah, I would have loved to have gone.
Like a new Amsterdam type thing?
Yeah, yeah.
Give me one spot with no journalists.
That would be the answer to the question.
That would be a place I want to go.
That's what I'm saying.
There's going to be a lot of beheadings in this place.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, what's Nicaragua's thing?
Soccer?
No.
I'm not having journalists.
No drones also.
Can't take a drone in with you.
Okay, great.
I hate drones.
They search back only for drones.
Like, you're good.
Sandboarding.
Ooh.
Down in volcanoes.
How about that?
Cigars.
Top two in the world.
Okay.
Nicaragua, they're number two after Cuba?
No, Cuba's three.
Ooh.
What's number one?
DR.
DR or Nicaragua.
DR over Cuba?
Cuba went to shit.
Really?
China bought most of the brands.
I don't know nothing about cigars.
No, it's normal.
I don't know.
They bought most of the brands, slashed their quality.
So, yeah, volcanoes, scuba diving in the, what is it, the corn?
Oh, cool.
Okay.
I don't know.
I'm not, I don't know.
Oh, I was there for three hours.
You're talking of the tourism and you're like, I wasn't allowed in.
I was there for three hours.
I fed a street dog and then I went home.
Okay.
They got poetry.
Maybe, maybe this place thinks.
They got poetry.
They got handcrafts.
Boo.
Oh, I did hear about a comedian.
So, I'm being interrogated by this guy.
And the guy's like, okay.
Then he hangs up the phone with Managua, with the Capitol.
And now he's just like, I'm not, I'm not in charge of this.
Yeah.
I'm just like taking stuff from them.
So, now we're talking in between the phone rings back again.
Ask him how much he charges for tickets.
How many people does he play for?
Stuff like that.
Okay.
But in between, we're just talking.
And he goes, I'm asking about foods to eat.
What I should, I think I'm still getting in.
And I'm like, yeah, are there any like Nicaraguan comedians?
He goes, yeah.
There's one guy.
Uh-huh.
J.R.
And I go, is he like, I still got my, is he like a sketch guy or is he an actor?
An actual stand-up.
There.
Thank you.
Good question.
Actual stand-up.
Is that him?
He only plays.
Yep.
J.R.
He plays in Nicaragua.
He's big.
Four point. Wait.
4.3 million subscribers.
Holy hell.
This guy's big time.
Wow.
How many people live in Nicaragua?
4.3 million?
That's all of them.
Four?
That's all of them.
He's got them all.
Wow.
Wait, does he have any stand-up clips?
I haven't seen any stand-up either.
No.
All right.
He's a funny. He seems to be a catch-me-nick actor.
Damn it.
Damn it.
Stand-up's hard.
Damn it.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, shout out to. Oh, Bad Bunny.
3.2 million views.
Oh, JR's in a Bad Bunny video?
Wow.
This guy's big.
No, he's doing a Bad Bunny song, I think.
Oh, he's making fun.
Crazy.
Wow.
He can't leave there.
It's my hard. Well, I didn't read the rest.
That's what you get with no journalists, by the way.
It's my hard what?
It's very hard.
What did he say?
Es mi duro?
He said, yeah.
Yeah, I get it.
He said, yeah.
I don't want nothing to understand.
I don't know.
Is that where it is?
Hey, I think we're off.
It's pretty good.
Yeah, it got better.
Nice.
All right.
Well, hey.
Good on you, JR.
Guys, I missed you guys.
I missed you, man.
I was really happy when I saw you at the cellar the other night.
And then again in the park.
Playing basketball.
That was fun, man.
Well, you give me hope because I have all this fear of not being relevant.
If I don't post a clip, people are going to forget about me.
If we miss a week with the pod, it's all over.
You went for eight months.
You came back with a vengeance with this storytelling show.
And it's like nothing. Nothing has changed, really.
Nothing's changed.
The last time I went to 2017, I went to Southeast Asia for four and a half months.
I remember that.
Yeah.
And Joe lists.
You know, there's like conversations where like stuck in your brain is. He goes, aren't you afraid of like falling behind?
And I'm like, well, I have a special going to come out when I get back.
And I have my storytelling show that's not happening.
And it didn't work out.
But nothing can be predicted on that.
What do you mean it didn't work out?
They replaced me when I said, I want to sell my special.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
But that hadn't been done.
It hadn't been done yet.
Yeah, I got it.
It was waiting for me.
And I was like, these are going great.
We can take time off.
I have an idea that comedians in this day and age are putting out more than they're taking in to an unsustainable levels.
You're right.
So we're constantly. This is once a week here.
Sure.
You have a second podcast.
Okay.
Sure.
It's more and more put out.
What are we taking in to draw from?
I think there's a real problem.
I think you can. I think it's a real problem where we're like, I got to do something this week.
I'm like, do you have anything to say?
I'm like, no.
Yeah.
Well, then that's not going to be good.
Right.
And I don't have stuff to talk about.
We're bad at it.
It's the truth.
I mean, we got to step it up with it.
Just meeting you at the park for basketball.
Like, yes.
No, I do that stuff.
I like to just shoot a ball around just like. Especially in my neighborhood at Tompkins.
It was like. I love it.
Perfect.
Dude, I'm like three minutes away.
I'll meet you.
Yeah, but. Yeah?
We run our own business here.
No one's going to do it if we don't do it.
So I kind of have that fear.
Like, there's no one. Okay, but you also got to have. If you're on Friends. I'm old, but this is my example of successful sitcom.
Yeah.
Number one in the world.
Big show.
22 weeks on, 30 weeks off.
And NBC decided that for them.
If we had to decide for ourselves, if they had to decide for themselves, they're not
taking 30 weeks off.
They're getting the $3 million an episode for 52 weeks.
Yeah.
And I'm not saying take off.
I'm just saying. Take off.
Take in.
You're right.
We used to take more in because we were less busy.
When we were open micers, we were struck.
When I moved to New York, you guys were all barely doing stuff, and we were out doing
things, making memories.
Making memories.
Well, there was less. No more like, I got to get up for a podcast tomorrow.
There was less to do.
I mean, it was an easier time.
I mean, Chris Rock has said this many times about young comedians.
Even LeBron had an off season.
Yeah.
Take a break.
Take some time off.
He's right.
We do. Mountainhead?
The guy went off on a boat for a while.
Well, you need inspiration.
You need stories.
I'm thinking about that sometimes.
I close my last couple of specials on stories.
I'm like, I need more stories.
And you don't get them by just fucking going to the same bar every night and getting shit
faced.
You got to go on some adventures, and you're going on adventures.
And that actually is. It's inspiring.
You're right.
I actually asked Sam to be in my storytelling show, The End.
I think.
It's correct if I'm wrong.
You're like, bro, I can't. I do have a story.
I have a. I'm closing my hour.
I can't speak.
I can't spare it.
I can't spare this for you.
I can't spare my closer.
Yeah, because it's a close. I want to do your storytelling show.
I've done the live ones.
You've done the live ones.
But I. To me, they're all the same.
Live ones and tape ones are all the same.
But yeah, I arc an hour a certain way where I like to have short jokes up top, a couple
short stories, and I like to have a long story at the end.
And I can't give up this long story I'm closing on.
What I needed was to give you a year's notice.
And I used to do that, but this is not happening.
We're like, hey, don't make this your closer.
Yep.
Save it for me.
Yeah.
If it ever comes back, please, you have to do it.
I will.
Yeah, you got to do it.
You're one of the storytellers in New York.
Am I?
No.
When I asked you the first time to do it live, you were like, it's not really my thing.
No.
Yeah.
No.
How many times have you done it?
The White Knight, all that stuff.
I got a few.
I got a few.
I've done the live one a bunch, and I've done. Well, I gave Mark some shit.
This is not happening twice.
I think Mark is such a good storyteller, and Mark doesn't think he's a good storyteller.
He does not think he's good.
It annoys me.
It's so funny.
No, no, no.
It annoys me because. I can tell it to you guys.
No, no, no.
Hold on.
You're so scared for a silence.
Yes.
Yes.
And storytelling's about building tension.
Yes.
And you want like, bam, bam, bam.
But you're not going to let a story not be super funny.
So it's going to naturally just have a shitload of punchlines.
That's why comedians are better at it.
You can't not. You can't go 40 minutes.
But if you just embrace the silence and have that. Because it's even bigger tension release at the Big Pop when you embrace that.
But you hate it so much.
But I think it's like, oh, man, I want to see the Mark Norman, like a 12-minute Mark Norman story.
12 minutes.
It's going to be punchy as fuck.
That's what we got at the end.
That's 12 minutes.
Oh, really?
That's the kind of thing I had.
You know, like. You've got another one in the can that I told you, like, you've got to save that for another time.
Uh-huh.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've talked about, like, Jim Jefferies has those stories where you're like, the muscular dystrophy brothel story.
That's like a 25-minute bit.
Is it that long?
Yes.
Wow.
But it's. It's so punchy.
All the end morales is one story sometimes.
Yeah.
And you're like. But at the end, you're just like. Before they even say, that's it for me, thank you, you're just like. Oh, yeah.
You know you've completed a journey with them.
But here's the thing about stories nobody brings up.
Yeah.
Is I can punch up a story, but the ending of a story. It's so important.
That is so hard.
That takes a whole turn.
Sometimes you need the ending first, because. And then you can just take liberties.
But, you know, Ryan Hamilton, another friend of ours, has. Yeah, he's got the bus.
He's got, like, a story.
It might be a 30, 40-minute story.
Oh, he did it on my show in Salt Lake.
Oh, wow.
I'm pretty sure. Did I get that?
I might be conflating memories, but, like. Yeah.
I was like, hey, you're in town to do your fucking whatever.
You know, re-virgining or whatever the fuck those Mormons do.
I was like, come do my show.
It's okay.
I was there doing it.
We've done the Salt Lake ones.
Yeah, a couple times.
For ski trips.
Had a blast.
And it was like. Did he ever do one?
No, not when I was there.
Maybe I'm thinking.
He was there.
Yeah.
Doing something else.
He does, like, 30 minutes just about getting hit by a bus.
Yeah.
It's incredible.
It takes you on a trip.
It was like. It's so. You're there from contact to healing.
Yeah.
And even if you're not laughing, you're just like this, like. You're like that.
It's like. Yeah, they're fun.
They're fun.
In this next hour, I'm doing a story.
I think you should.
It's a good closer.
Because it's also. You know, it's an energy shift, too.
It's like. And that's with check drops.
You don't do clubs anymore.
I think. Exactly.
But check drops are like, this is the right time for it.
That's why I started doing stories, is because I was like, I need something to hold them.
But, you know, you listen to an old Dangerfield album, and he's doing bit, bit, bit, and that's
why he'd go into crowd work, just to mix up the rhythm, so it would become less predictable.
But I think a story serves the same thing.
So I love one.
But it's a punchy story.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
Edinburgh, those are like UK and Australia comics.
They do stories. How do I say this without being rude?
Boring?
That's with being rude.
Oh.
No, but I know what you're saying.
Yeah.
Self-indulgence?
Americans are like, well, I can't. So one time, when I was at the Improv Lab doing this, before they even had a name, we
were doing the shows, and John Reap was doing it.
And John Reap was a killer.
Great person, too.
Great guy.
And he was like, dude, after like 30 or 40 seconds, I was like, I gotta make a funny
face or something.
This is like. Yeah, yeah.
Tough.
I haven't gotten a laugh.
I'm used to getting laughs every 10 seconds.
Yes.
So you're like, but American stand-ups will just naturally punch it up.
You have to, out of survival.
Big J told a story.
He's on the Hall of Fame of this show.
He told a story about seeing a fight outside the comedy cellar.
The fight itself, the story itself, was 98 seconds before the cops came and took him
away.
I think I was with J that night, by the way.
And it was like a 15-minute story.
Yeah.
Wow.
On his descriptions.
Where they choked the guy out or whatever?
Three women.
Oh, different time.
And he's just a good storyteller.
He's making it last longer than the actual details.
And it had an ending?
He's the best.
He's a great storyteller.
Okay, okay.
Him, Ali.
He, Burt, Diaz, and Miss Pat, and Sean Patton.
Those are the top.
Oh, yeah.
Sean Patton's got some fucking crazy stories.
Yeah.
And he tells them so well.
And his show just got fucking canceled on FX.
I know.
It was a good show.
Go YouTube some Sean Patton stories on YouTube.
Funny guy.
He's phenomenal.
The Cuban story on This Is Not Happening.
Oh, yeah.
That was a great one.
The fake gay bashing in New Orleans.
Yeah, he's a natural.
That was a good show on FX.
The English teacher.
Great show.
I really liked it, man.
Oh.
I had something to say.
I'm pissed that got canceled.
Yeah, Sean rules.
Sean was, he shined in that, man.
He really shined in that role.
Also, what a good drinker.
Oh, my God.
The best.
The best drinker.
I had Cross on.
You guys have had him on, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I farted on him.
Not as good a drinker.
No, no.
But I remember asking him, like, hey, Sean, he opens for you and stuff.
He's like, yeah.
I was like, what a good drinker.
He's like, bro.
Oh, yeah.
He doesn't, like, press you like DeRosa, like that fucking head pig.
Shots, shots.
Yeah.
DeRosa's happy to be at a funeral because we have to take the shot with him.
Right, right.
Hey, what do you think of this?
I have a new subject change.
Okay.
You know when people are like, you want to do shots?
You're like, no.
And you're like, you know, we're all in our 30s now.
We know who we are.
I've already told you to laugh and do hard.
It's not the shots.
It's what you really want to do is have people turn it up.
Yeah.
Right.
So how about this?
Go, hey, guys, can you guys all turn it up 15%?
I like that.
And then it's like, you know what?
I got half a beer.
I'm going to chug this and get another one.
I love turn it up.
Turn it up 15%.
Yeah.
Not shots.
Not shots.
I'll barf and go home.
I'll black out.
We're all adults.
We know our limits.
I know our limits.
So I don't like the whole, like, catch up.
It's like, bro, you're going to like me better at this level.
I'm drinking.
I know where I'm at.
Right.
But also, this is embarrassing that we're adults and we still hang out with people that
pressure us like this.
DeRosa.
DeRosa.
No adult should be hanging out with someone who's like, catch up, pussy.
That's like fucking college shit.
Catch up, pussy.
What?
Who the fuck are you?
That's a horrible flavor.
Catch up, pussy.
I'm like, oh, fuck.
But back to the relevance thing.
Yeah.
Because you were gone for eight months.
Yeah.
Last year, I went to Australia.
Good memory.
UK.
And I did a whole run somewhere else.
Do you feel like you're missing out?
Yes.
Wow.
I was gone for a month.
I was gone for a couple weeks.
Three weeks, maybe.
And I felt the same way.
Where?
Where?
All over Europe.
It was great.
I had a great time.
This is the craziest thing to me.
I had a great time, too.
But I was like.
Can I just ground you guys for a second?
The second week, you start itching.
You're doing a European tour.
I know.
It's so high level.
It's something we could not have imagined.
That's a good point.
Doing when we were starting.
I'm having so much fun doing it, too.
So much fun.
You're in Berlin in a nightclub at 7 a.m.
Yeah.
Still doing drugs.
You're going to lose it.
It's just me.
But we're doing a European tour, and we're feeling like, am I missing out?
You know how a sagalo would fucking cut himself to be where we are?
That's his new closer, actually.
And we're thinking we're doing something wrong.
It's messed up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're doing it right.
You're right.
I don't feel regret.
I'm actually doing another Euro tour in a few months, and I'm so pumped.
I'm just going to random places I've never been because I want to go to them.
We'll plug it at the end.
I mean, let's fucking plug it.
Let's do some plugs.
Shit.
We've been on for almost two hours, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What do I got?
Well, I got L.A. coming up with Liszt, Jordan Jensen.
Dude, Liszt has been the prettiest city in the world.
And Rachel Feinstein.
Yeah, I'd say so.
Dynasty Theater.
Okay.
Oh.
Bro, wait.
What's Athena?
Verona.
Greece.
Athens, it's supposed to say.
But, yeah, Verona, New York, Turning Stone Casino, June 6th.
Then we got Lisbon, August 30th.
Pause, pause, pause.
Greece, September 2nd.
No, no, pause, pause.
What's up?
We're going to do the plugs, so I'm going to stop in a minute.
Stop me.
What's up?
Okay.
Here's what you're doing right.
August is 31 days.
Okay, great.
When you're doing a European tour, you want to have Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays off.
I'm getting to Lisbon early.
Okay.
Lisbon early.
Oh, good.
Wait.
Go back up.
Go back up some.
Great.
Get to Lisbon hella early.
Yeah.
Leave the next day.
Get to Athens.
It's one of the most underrated cities in the world.
I love Athens.
It's so punk rock.
It's so fucking cool.
The outdoor theaters are so fun.
Outdoor movie theaters, you can see a black and white film noir in a language you can't
understand with Greek subtitles, and you follow along somehow, drinking booze, smoking rolly
cigarettes in an outdoor theater.
Hell, yeah.
You'll smoke a cigarette.
Yeah, we got a, I love a drunk cig.
What the hell is Grad Zagreb?
Zagreb.
I'm not sure.
Croatia.
That's Croatia.
We got Hungary, Budapest, and Hungary.
We got Croatia.
Warsaw, going to the camps.
Yeah.
Vienna.
I heard Poland's awesome.
Warsaw.
Dude, this is a great.
Helsinki, Stockholm, and Copenhagen.
Helsinki's not great.
This is a great fucking tour.
I haven't been to some of them.
I haven't been to Stockholm, Copenhagen.
I haven't done Finland.
I haven't done Vienna.
Vienna, I really just want to go.
I've never done Copenhagen.
I just want to go where Orson Welles and the third man goes on that fucking train.
Gives that speech.
Like, look at them.
They're all like ants, you know?
Would you miss any of them if they died, you know?
Wow.
Sweden is so pretty.
You're going to love Sweden.
And the girls are not bad.
They're pretty attractive.
That is right up your alley.
That is a Jews type, by the way.
Blonde hair, blue eyes.
Yeah.
Would you have hidden us in the Holocaust?
Who knows?
Yeah.
But I'm willing to.
I'd hide in your pussy.
Yeah, I would.
Wait, forget that.
Are you a Jew?
Sure, sure, sure.
Jew is on Netflix.
No, no, no.
Go to the end.
Yeah.
There we go.
The end.
The end of the story telling.
Mark Norman's in it.
Me and Mark Norman are in the same episode.
Hey.
Oh, shit.
I'm honored.
An episode called, hold on, Not All Heroes Wear Capes.
Go down, go down some, go down some, go down some.
Boom.
Boom.
There it is.
Me, you, and Duncan.
Me, you, and Duncan.
Oh, I miss Duncan, man.
He's a good dude.
Good guy.
He's one of the best dudes in comics.
He's honestly the most creative guy in comedy.
Easter egg at the end of that.
Duncan does the theme song at the end of that.
Now, you worked with me pretty hands-on with this story.
Do you do that with everybody?
Yes.
Oh, wow.
That's a lot of work.
Because we were back and forth.
I think we should talk about this, change that, take that out.
I do a thing where I'm like, I'm trying not to overstate.
I've produced a few things now for my friends.
Yeah.
Sal, AJ, Adrian, where it's not like producing.
I got to think of another title.
It is.
Hold their hand.
It's more than that.
It's how producing should be.
It's like, hey, what's your material?
What are you closing on?
Why?
Okay, here's the things.
You have 10 bits.
I want you to get these.
But isn't that what producing should be?
It should be.
That's why I'm still calling myself a producer.
But I'm like, get those 8, 9, 10 bits.
I want you to get those to 4, 5, 6.
So work on those only.
Your 1, 2, 3 are great.
They're done.
Get those up.
Work on those only.
Why are you closing on this?
What are you trying to say in your thing?
It's like a director, sort of.
Like a theater director.
Sure.
Yeah, I want to go hands-on.
Doug Smith, for his story, that's not happening?
Guys, look up that story.
Doug Smith, the subway hero.
Dude, I went to New York Comedy Club 40 times to watch his story.
Wow.
I'm like, shit, I got 20 minutes.
I'll come down, watch you, and then go back to the stand.
Pull it out.
It's got like 5 million views or something.
It's one of the most incredible stories.
Turn him into a headliner.
Doug's a great dude, and he's very, very funny.
Doug Smith, this is not happening.
Yeah.
Yeah, I want to go heads-on, hands-on.
It's an incredible story.
It's an incredible story already, so you just got to get to it.
Yes.
Stabbed in the face.
And he knew this would be his ticket, and he put all the work into it.
Yeah, he was willing to go.
Him, Louis Katz that year.
Yeah, Louis Katz.
Yeah, we're like, let me just not just say it.
Let me tell it right.
Yes, yes.
I mean, it's punched up.
The ending's amazing.
It moves.
God, she doesn't look like this anymore.
Lower it a little bit, or go scroll down.
I just want to see the views on this thing.
6.2 million people.
Wow.
That's incredible.
It deserves it.
I sent it to my mom.
And it's like, it's not ending right, man.
You haven't made yourself this, so it's like, okay.
But you're not changing details.
You're changing how you say it.
Yeah.
You're not lying.
You're just like, what do I end?
Do I learn something at the end?
You learn 20 things.
Which one do you want to say?
Yeah.
It helps to have a person help you take a step back and be like, yeah, what is this?
Yeah, so I'm not some producer.
I'm a comedian.
So I'm going to help you as a comedian, who also has a vested interest in making your
story the best it can be.
Yes.
And that's what I did with the end.
Yeah.
I talked to everybody.
I was like, what's your, I actually got accused, I'm not going to say who, of helping a woman
with her story on This Is Not Happening.
And she goes, you're a misogynist because you were trying to help a woman along with
the story, not men.
I'm like, bro, I help everyone?
Yeah.
That's crazy to call me misogynist for trying to help you.
Yeah.
That's not what misogynists do.
Yeah, right.
You think this is a misogynist?
Anyway, the end is the real way out.
You can get me and Mark's episode for $5.99.
Hell yeah.
Are you going to be on the road at all?
I'm at the Netflix festival May 7th, doing The End.
I'll see you there.
Yeah?
Yeah, I'll be there.
Who's on?
You got any spoilers?
Oh.
I'm doing a show May 7th.
What time?
945.
Where?
Dynasty.
I think it's Dynasty.
Your own hour?
No, it's with a few other people.
That's a good room.
Where is it?
It's a comedy store.
Oh, come on.
I might have to do an old story, but I'll do an old story.
Do an old story.
What do you mean?
Do you record her?
Oh, boy.
Maybe.
Fuck, I don't know.
Nobody's seen his stuff.

after all those n-words
you can see
Mark Norman

out of nowhere
with a train
first DeRosa was like
I can't come
I was like what the fuck
he goes
I gotta do reshoots
for some fucking
YouTube show
I was like
and I like
you know when you go too far
with somebody
and you're like
I shouldn't
but I'm so
I was so angry
that he wasn't gonna come
to this bachelor party
that I was like
you're a piece of shit friend
you're all
in the wrong place
you fucking suck
meanwhile
he was planning on coming
the whole time
and surprising us
so we went fishing
and then he comes out
at the bar
with a tray full
you guys ordered shots

no
and it was him
and we're like
that waiter's ugly

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The group discusses hosting a podcast with Ari Shafir, emphasizing authenticity and avoiding unnecessary drama, while confirming they’ll skip the YouTube segment.
They debate drink choices, starting with Club Colombia beer and later exploring South American cocktails like caipirinha, pisco sour, and cabrinha, highlighting cultural experiences and personal memories.
