Mexico w/ Mark Normand | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir

Mark Normand shares a vivid, comedic, and often absurd travel story from his time in Matamora, Texas, and Mexico, highlighting the chaotic, uninhibited culture of border towns. He describes drinking rituals involving strange elixirs, head-shaking to enhance intoxication, and encounters with cockfights, donkey shows, and hooker bars—all common in the region. One of the most memorable incidents involves a friend who, after being exposed to a donkey show and a sexual encounter with a woman, becomes deeply affected, refrains from socializing for months, and eventually marries. Normand contrasts the hedonistic, unfiltered experiences of the past with modern norms, noting how such activities were once accepted as part of local culture—though now viewed through a more sensitive, even judgmental lens. The episode blends humor, shock value, and personal anecdotes to reflect on the wild, unpredictable nature of travel and human behavior. It also touches on broader cultural themes, such as the historical roots of Mexico’s diverse ethnic makeup, influenced by indigenous traditions and slavery. Normand’s storytelling style is irreverent and unapologetically loud, celebrating the messiness of real-life experiences, including the dark, taboo, and often unsettling aspects of human connection. The narrative ends with a nod to a new comedy special and tour schedule featuring Mark Normand, reinforcing his status as a prominent and fearless live performer. The entire story underscores a theme of freedom through intoxication and exposure—where the line between fun, folly, and taboo blurs.

You're not really livin'. - Yeah. - Every week we go to a different place with the guests who's been there. It's not guys, we don't really know what we're talking about. It's just what the things we've seen. And today, one of the most ignorant people in America, Mr. Mark Norfolk. - Yeah, you got that right, Fanny. - From Tuesday's stories, you might be drunk. One of the greats. Where are we going today, Mark? Where do you wanna go? - We are going to get deported and we're going back to Mexico. - Mexico. - Nice. - We're waving a flag on a burning Weimo in LA. That's us. - Nice. Where'd you go to Mexico? Where is it? Where's our biggest neighbor that feels foreign to offense Canada? - Yeah, well, I've been to Mexico a couple of times for a couple of different reasons. The first time we went was called Matamora. It's under the Texas border. - Okay. - And it's a border town. It called it Boy's Town. 'Cause troops used to go there to get laid real quick. - There it is. - Matamora, it's okay, okay. - There it is. - It's the map. - I should've known how to spell a place I've been to, but it was a tree or not. - Matamora. - We started driving with a map back then. This is 2000. - Whoa, it's so hard to get to anywhere there. Wait, okay. - Yeah, there it is. - Right on the border. - Right on the Gulf of, look at it. They already did it on Google Maps. - Gulf of America, holy shit. - That's what your Google Maps said, yes. - That's hilarious. - Yeah. - Wow. - We went to that White House. Shane got it, said. I opened for him down there. And we were gonna go take a tour and he called the public and said, "Can you get us in him?" And then we're like, "Yeah." - Whoa. - And then he's got some level. I think he knows people in the CIA or something. - Oh, yeah, for sure. He knows Hegseth. - Yeah. But, yeah, and we looked in the, like the, where his desk is, Trump's desk. And we're, Elon's always dancing behind him. - Oval Office? - Yeah, but this big map. Gulf of America. Is it right on there? - That was quick. - Yeah. - Damn. Okay, so where'd you go there? Why, when? - Well, I mean, I was in college. I lived in a house with five guys and someone got a wild hair up their ass and said, "From Baton Rouge, it's not a bad drive." It's probably like five, six hours, something like that. - Okay. - And, yeah, around there. I went down there with four guys. It was five of us total and we cut loose. We, you know, met hookers. We saw a donkey show. We ate street tacos. Street tacos were 50 cents. So I had a field day down there. The guy would make them right there. And he's a little silver dollar tacos. - How were they? - They were amazing. They were so good. And, you know, we got a cheap place in Texas right on the border. We just walk over every day. We wake up and walk over. And, you know, drink our faces off. They do a thing there where they put booze in your mouth and then they shake your head. And then you're more fucked up. - What? - So a guy walks by with like a jug of some weird elixir. And he goes, "Oh, there you go. Yeah, lay it on me. You give him like a dollar and you do this." And he pours your mouth to you. You can't take it. And then he takes your head and shakes your head. - What? - Yeah, that's what they do. And that's just the guy walking around. - Instead of doing one of these, we got a lick. - Yeah, you're the shaker. - Like, we don't have shaker money. - No, no, shaker heights. But Michael J. Fox, they really fuck you up and shake you like Parkinson. And, yeah, you can get drunk there for like, you know, 450. - What? - And plus like a Takate or a soul or whatever is, you know, 28 cents. - God, the prices are so great in other places. - It's great. - Especially as a college kid. - I know. - You probably, you can go down there with like, 50 bucks for a weekend. - Wow. - Live like a king. - Did you get sick off the tacos or is they fine? - No, I have an iron stomach. You cannot get me sick. I've been eating shit. - Facts. I've seen Mark Norman eat leftovers of other people's foods for going on 10, 12 years now. - Easily. - Just like restaurants. Is like, oh, they didn't clear it. - Yeah, well, my mom's an old hippie-dipping cleaf. So she would have like, old milk in the fridge. She'd have old chicken bones and she's like, so you just ate anything. Yeah, I'm a raccoon. - Yeah. - We'd go down there, we'd get fucked up. Crazy story. The hookers, really. - Yeah, it's gotta be a hooker town. - They come around, yeah. So, we-- - Order towns are always hooker towns. - All hookers. It's hookers, cock fights, drinkin' and donkey show. That's like the big, those are the big attractions. - Well, we gotta, that's all those. - Okay, we'll do. - Okay. - Cock fight, you ever been to a cock fight? - In these team where, yeah. - Oh, really? - Yeah, one, but I went back like three times. (laughs) - It's great. It's like the poor guy's waving cash. - Waving cash? - It's great. - And they're like, oh, bad, bad, which one do you bet? Like, they're always like the big one. I'm like, yeah, I also want the big one. - I know, come on. - But then someone's like, I'll just hear a dollar, go ahead. - Every now and then you get a ringer in there. Like some crazy pecker that just kills anybody. You know what's crazy about the cock fight? Is they fuck with them with a stuffed animal, chicken. - Get 'em riled up. - Get 'em riled up, yeah. It's like the speed bag. - They got a whole system. - Yeah, they got this. - They do this. - But they take it and go like that. - Yes. - The rooster took out one. - Bring it. - And then the fucker said, oh, I'll be chewing the ring. - Exactly. Would you call me? So yeah, that was great. And they last like, I don't know, 90 seconds. - Yeah. - And then they start pecking the eye out after, it's pretty barbaric. - They put the razors on 'em? - No, I didn't see that. Did you have that? - Yeah, they call the food to the bound foot and they tie a razor to one of their claws. So when they go, they normally just, they fight like this, they jump up and fight like that. - Yeah, yeah. - One razor on there. So this and then one of the roosters doesn't know. He's like, he didn't really hit me that much 'cause the slice is on a razor. And then suddenly like, fuck on a woozy. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, and then just clear. - See, that's too far. I'm okay with the two birds going at it, but once you get the razors in, they gotta have some standards. - Yeah. You see this guy pulled out a rate. They have a book, you know, those old CD cases? - Yeah. - They had that of razors. And this guy's like looking through this. One guy had a fucking cross on his head. He was so fucking badass. And then he picks one out, he goes like this. Everyone cheers and he goes. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. - And then he tied it. - That's dark. - Yeah. - Isn't that crazy? We love comedy, we podcast. That's their comedy. Some guys out there with a fucking rooster like, this is my special place. - Was it legal there? - Oh yeah. - I mean, I've always out, right? They're not trying to hide it. - No, it was out in the wild. It was like the Olympics. It was a big deal. The place was packed. - Yeah, when I was like, yeah, I can't take a picture of this. Could I, and then people like, why wouldn't you be able to? - Or your cock fights. Like, yeah, I mean, it's the general's ring. (laughing) - Exactly. - He gave it to us. - Right, it's like, what? - It's state sanctioned. The celebrities there, it was great. (laughing) Yeah. - So that was cool. You know, you do that during like the day. That's like a four o'clock thing. And then at night it was just on. - Wow. - You know, it's like 18, 19 year old, strapping men. - Even coming from Louisiana. That still must be a drop off in legality. - Way drop off, big drop off. - Wow. - Kids are drinking, you know, kids running around and diapers, it's bad news, but fun for us. - Okay. - And so there's a, there's a whore bar, there was like the trans bar, there's the slut bar, whatever, there's all, this is like, get fucked up bar. - There's a trans whore house with just trans women. So it was ahead of its time, really. - I did a podcast, I don't remember that, one of the earliest gang fests when it was really like, still like, whoa, if you're trans, somebody came out for naked roast. - Yeah. - With their dick tucked, and you couldn't tell, it tipped, so it was like fine. And they came out and then they opened their legs and the dick popped, and it was like, what the fuck? - It's ever derosa, it was like, yes. - Now it's almost Blasey, but like, I've actually seen it a few times, I'm like, hmm, floss it's luster. - Oh really? - Yeah, but what she told me was like, there's no trans bars, we don't want to hang out with trans. Gays want to hang out with gays, Blase want to hang out with blacks, Jews want to hang out with Jews, trans want to be not that old. - Is that right? - Yeah, like, I'm a woman now. - I'm gonna hang out at a straight bar. - But you'd think you'd want to hang out with somebody who'd been through the surgery that you went through and the pronouns, yeah, you're right. - Oh. - But like, I don't want to fuck these people. - Yeah, you know, be a good name for a trans bar. Cock fight. - Not bad. - Not bad. - Not bad. - Got a good names of gay bars, I have one at DC. - What? - The hung jury. - Oh, that's great. - That was a fun one. - That's great.

(laughing) - Hung jury is good. - Okay. - So there's always weird parts. - Yeah, there's always weird things to do where we're all sleeping in, you know, like, two beds in a room and like a holiday in whatever on the border or a Lakinta. What is Lakinta? What does that mean? - Lock Quinta. - Yeah, what's a Quinta? Is that a princess? - Ooh, is it? - I don't know, or Queen. Maybe Queen would make more sense. The Queen. - The fifth. - The fifth. - Or the country house. That's gotta be it. The country house. - That's gotta be it. Okay, we had a few fits. But, so we go there, and so now. - Time to pass the end of it, yeah, that's it, yeah. - Once you start getting hammered, then you start kinda looking at the, the horror houses were just like a relic. We're like, oh, that's crazy. Look at that, or a novelty. And, but after you start getting hammered, you're like, eh, maybe we'll take a look in there.

Hamilton Morrison, here, he said a possible explanation was, 'cause he's all about, I was like, what happened? He goes, I think it was two things. One, everyone doing shit loads of drugs during the pandemic. And so their hearts were all weakened. So it wasn't just a final, it was in relation to like, I have friends that did Molly every day for two months. - Wow. - So that shit's like, you know, whatever. And you get one little, those batches like you can handle it anymore, your heart couldn't. And the other was, whatever trade shit with China that you won't take your stuff anymore. And then so the base chemicals for drugs were from there. And they made him really well. They were sitting with the McShire curtains really well. And now we had to turn to fucking RVs and the fucking Tucson for our base chemicals. And that's where all the fentanyl got leaked in and shit. - Whoa, okay. There you go, kids. - Anyway. - So we go to this. So one of our friends I should say was six, nine. He was a big dude, he was a football player, like corn fed, white boys, southern dude, you know, just a stocky tall motherfucker. We go to bars, everybody went to fight him. - Everybody, oh really? - Yeah, 'cause he was just the tall guy. So I was like, I bet I could take him. It was bad, I would hate to be this guy. Women loved him, but the guys, he was always up against it. - Damn. - You know, everywhere you go, are you playing basketball? How tall are you? It was like a circus freak. But good guy, fun fact about him. He would see his own blood, he would just pass out. He broke our coffee table 'cause he got cut his hand and he just went right to the coffee table. Like Chris Farley. - What is super power if you're fighting him? You just gotta like. - Yeah, that's true. You do razor blade on your foot. - Yeah. - Cut him open and he anything got dropped and he would go, I think there's a name for that, but. - Hypo, no, something. - See, Mick, I don't know. - It's a conjurek, anyway. - Anyway, so we go to this bar and there's like a bunch of hot ladies walk around and lingerie and we're like, okay, this is a brothel. - Nice, love it. - We're sitting at the bar bar and there was stairs above like going up behind the bar. Like where we're sitting. You see stairs that go up to the whore beds. And so we're like, oh wow, look at that. And you're just walking, watching them walk up. Oh boy, she's pretty hot. Wow, these girls are actually pretty fit and they're not like, hoary looking, not like beat up. And where we're sitting there. And all the girls are like whispering about our friend. - Yeah, sure, they wanna fuck that. - Yeah, this big white guy. - Or don't let him fuck me. - One of the two. - One of the two. - So the bartender is like snickering. It's just like some Mexican guy, some young guy. And he's like, the girls, they like you. They like you and he was like, ah, you know, what are you gonna do? Don't worry about it. And they kept being like, he wants, they want you to go upstairs. They give you discount, they give you discount. And he was like. - He's like, I don't know woman. - Yeah, he's like, you think I should? Oh man, we're like, do it. What are you crazy? Come on. - That's peer-pressure central. - Yeah. - You've never had a peer-pressure opportunity than that. Oh, we have a couple more drinks and he's like, "Fuck it, I'm in." Yeah, so we'll have a good time. We've high five. We blow each other. He gets off the bar stool. He goes arm and arm with two women. They walk him up the stairs. And as they're walking up the stairs, they're like, boy, look at the thighs on that broad. Holy hell, man, she's got some shoulders. Huh, how about that? Boy, that's a tight butt. It's a small butt, but it's up. We're like, ah, whatever. Now he's up there for 10 minutes and all the bartenders are howling laughing. They're like, talking in Spanish, laughing, pointing at our friend up there. And we're like, huh, what's going on there? - Come on. - And we're like, weird, okay. So he comes down. - Oh, good name for a trans bar. Weird, okay. (laughing) - So he comes down. And the bartenders now fuck with him, like, huh? Huh? Umbre, umbre? And we're like, umbre. You must be talking about our friend. And we're like, could that have been a dude? Could he just fuck a dude with the hell? And he comes down and he goes, you're not gonna believe this. She let me fuck her in the ass. - Oh! - And we all died laughing. We all lost her. We hit the floors like, what's so funny? We're like, you fucked a guy, you fucked a guy. And it was before any like trans, you know, rights or talk about trans like 2003 or something. (laughing) And he was like, what? He was like this big buff like man's man. And he went back to the hotel. He never went out again. That was like night two. Never went out again. We drove back like seven hours. And we drove back. It was like a seven hour, he didn't say a word. And he got married like six months later. - I used to like, I'm done. I'm done hoeing it up. - He's like, I'm not gay. - I got to prove it. - Yeah, he was like a religious guy. He was an old school guy. That fucked him up. (laughing) - God, great. - He's a different man now. - Oh my God. - Yeah, yeah, he was changed. I've seen him since and he's not the same guy. He was like a happy, go lucky guy. Now he's like, stoic and quiet. - That used to be where I think I'm allowed to kill them. - Oh yeah. - I pulled me into that. Back then it was such a like, what? - Yeah, well it was one of the things where we'd fuck with him. And you could tell like, we should stop fuck with him. This isn't funny anymore. It's like dark and weird. (laughing) - 'Cause you don't really care, but it's funny. - Yeah, of course. So we knew he cares. We're just zinging him about it, but he just, he changed after that. - Rogan used to have a jug of people experimenting with homosexuality. And he's like, once you suck a dick, you're just a dick sucker. For instance, there's no going back and he goes, you can't win an argument anymore. - Yeah. - Because your friend's like, well, yeah, I swear you think that but that's actually not the way economics work. It's like if the poor money into the economy, it actually goes to lots of stuff. And so like, you're way off of that and like, oh, didn't you suck a dick one? (laughing) - Yeah, exactly. It's a Uno car. What do you call that though? - Yeah, Trump cars. - Yeah, Trump cars. - He should sell Trump cars. - Oh yeah. - Yeah, why didn't he sell Trump? It's right there. - At point or Trump it's. - Trump it's. - Trump it's a porter. - Yeah. - It would have been, it would have been January 6th, a lot better if they were just like, they didn't like, whatever line, what do they call them? - Second line. - Second line, second line. - They were like, that was festive. Right. - A couple too many deaths, but if that's true. - If they had brought a marching band, it would be a whole different J6. - Yeah, that's true. - So yeah, he fucked a guy and then, and I don't even think these were like trans. These were just, these were just dudes, yeah, with lingerie. - Hey, went up to transvestites. - Yes. - Where they been. - Good point. - They were all the rage. - I think you're not allowed to say that anymore. - But transvestite and transsexuals are different things. - Completely different. Well, my nanny was a transvestite. - Oh yeah. - Which we just called transvestite. A transvestite, which we call the cross dresser, back in the day. 'Cause he was like, yeah, I'm a guy, but I like to wear a woman's clothing. - Like Eddie Azard, a person who dress and clothes primarily associated with the other sex, typically use of a man. - There you go. - Here's a problem. That's out the window now. Bad bunnies wearing dresses, everywhere's wearing dresses. That shit's like done. You can't be a transvestite. - That's right. - Where everyone's wearing everything. - Dennis Rodman. - Dennis Rodman. - He did it. - He was doing it when it meant something. - Yeah, true. Wedding dress. - You were, oh, that's right. - Yeah. - Wow. - Yeah, crazy. So that was like night two. So night three, we get drunk again, blah, blah, blah. We do the whole song and dance. And a guy walks up and goes, you wanna see the donkey show to me and my friends. And we're like. - This is legendary. - We have to see the donkey show. And he's like, it's a bit of a ride. You gotta get my truck. So this is all very risky. You know, there's not like, there's no form or signage on his truck. You get in a guy's truck, you've just met a Mexican guy with a dirty outfit and a hat and a beard. And he's like, you wanna go to the donkey show? It's five bucks. And we're like, okay. So we went. - It's so funny, you're like a parent now. - I know. - No, no, but I'm saying like, imagine your kid older. Like 20, telling you they're gonna get in a car with a random Mexican. You'd be like, absolutely not. - Of course. - That is crazy. I would never do that. - Yes. - And you'd be like, you did it. You were 19, too. All the, I drove a, a mo-ped here with no helmet all over the bridge. If he did that, I'd kill him. - Yeah. - So yeah. If he did comedy, I'd really kill him. - It's all these things. We're like, I wouldn't do that now myself. I wouldn't just get the guys. What are we doing? We're not just getting them, we're gonna get robbed. And back then, that age is like, well, there's no danger in the world. - I know you have so little going on. You're like, well, maybe we'll get robbed. That'd be interesting. - That'd be fun. - Yeah. - What's up to do? You have nothing to lose back then. - Yeah, you're nothing. Like, where'd they kill me? There'll be no loss to the world. - Exactly. - I've done nothing. I've accomplished nothing. - So true. And there's a freedom in that. - Yeah. - You get no back of a dirty truck with like, there's like fruit rolling around on the truck 'cause the guy's been a micro thing all day. - Taking all day, yeah. - Yeah. And yeah, so we got in the back of the truck. We drove for like 20 minutes. And the whole time, you're back there shaking in a bit of a truck. Like, you think we's actually gonna do this? Are we gonna go somewhere else? Is this safe? But you're shit-housed. - Yeah, right. Oh, trunk helps. - That helps. - So you get in a car with them? - Get in a car and it's like midnight. We pull up to a barn. There's other guys on the barn. You see other college people too. So you're like, all right, all right. This is kind of safe. This is legit. - It is reassuring. You don't want any white people to be when you're traveling, but then something's like, it's nice to have a car. - Yeah. - Just make sure I'm not the only one. - That's so true. Yeah. - Whenever I go hiking, I get like paranoid or like animals, like fuck, fuck, fuck, there might be bobcats here. And then I'll see a human footprint. I'm like, oh, we're good. Yeah, you see a zin, you're like, all right, all right. - Yeah, people come here. - Some hawkies have made their way here. I wonder if that's how settlers felt. Like when they came over from England and then they're like, oh, shit. - No one's been here. - No one is here except for that Choctaw. - Yeah. - That's terrifying. - She's seen friendly. He doesn't look friendly. - Doesn't look friendly. She's shouting with a spear. - Why is he so dirty? That can't just be a skin, could it? - No, he's got a face pain. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - Analysis of scalps and crotchies. Oh my God. Can you do some pure tan glycine? - Yeah. - And you're just like-- - Some pond dude. - I just heard there was lots of grass. - Yeah, right. I just hated religion. - Yeah. - I just wanna come here and then I see a guy, skinning a dude's scalp. - You think they can pronounce Sven here? (laughing) - Also crazy that they had things giving with him. - Yeah. - That's pretty inclusive. I would be like, I'm not eating with these people. - Dude, it's, oh yeah. Very inclusive, right? - Yeah, I mean, it took a few years, but still-- - Do the timeline for me. - What was Thanksgiving celebrating the first harvest that they helped them? - Yeah. - But harvest didn't end in November. - Oh yeah. You gotta give that a goog. I don't know how that works. 'Cause I think it must have taken a couple of years to warm up to the white man before the natives were like, all right, well, we'll eat with you. - Thanksgiving. - Series of historical decisions and proclamations primarily by US presidents. Wait a minute. - Yeah, but what? - Early celebration. - Yes, harvest, shared by pilgrims and Wannapag people. - So, why then? - 1621. - Whoa. Oh, there we go. - They broke bread. - I mean, if you're at that level of Christian, you'd probably be like, let's welcome them in. - Yeah, I guess so. - And we can also, maybe we'll tell 'em about Jesus. - Yeah, I think there's something like, hey, we get in a couple of turkey legs. Maybe they won't rape us. - It's actually a harvest feast. - There you go. - But why would it be then? - Huh, well, it was the end of the harvest. - Leave it in the comments. - Call in, if you know. - Call in right now, taking calls it. - Well, why can't you have a harvest? And no, oh, it's too cold. - It's like November to be all be dead, I don't know. - Yeah. But is the harvest where you collect a bounty of shit and save it? - It occurred in the fall of 1621 when everyone came together. - Hmm. - Lasted only a few years and in '89, George Washington brought it back, I guess. - Said that's the day. - Well, maybe it's at the end. Yeah, we just went to, in that fucking time. - I'm sorry, I just was there. They celebrated a whale, successful whale hunt. We got there. - Well, last year. - Yeah, when I landed, they're like, hey, in a couple of hours you're celebrating a whale hunt. And I was like, is this common? - No, they got like a couple of years. - Whoa. - This is their celebration. Go join them. - You gotta go. - Yeah, they throw people up in blankets and we're fucking flying up in the air. 20 feet, I try to do it. I failed pretty horribly. - What do you mean? (crickets chirping) (crickets chirping) - The bird flip flops by free waters. Back that ass up. (crickets chirping) - They throw these people up, like 20 feet in the air. Everyone gets a blanket, like a fireman thing. - Yeah. - They, women, old men, boys, and they throw candy when they get in the air. I mean, they're 20 feet up in the air. - Whoa. - Yeah. - How did you fuck up? - It's a shaky thing. And then they go, one, two, three, go. I just hit the ground. (laughing) - I was like, nope. I don't feel comfortable. - Wow. - The old ladies are doing it. It was wild. - Damn, that's fun. - Yeah, it was so fun. - Would the whale look like? - It was pretty cut up, but let me have some raw one. - Whoa. - Yeah. - Raw whale. - Raw whale. It was fucking wild. - Holy moly. Boy, did you get any video, or? - Yeah. - Okay, great. Plug that in right here. - Plug. - Damn.

but whatever has to pay back to the hotel but 11 for the room and one dollar for the cleanup guy haha haha that's a tough life right there who's room to room who's got it worth cleaning up John's is

(upbeat music) - You guys ready to turn the show? - Hey, guys, today's episode of "You Be Trippin' Is Brought To You By Mudwater." Are you one of those people who loves coffee, the taste, the smell, the whole ritual? But the caffeine sends you straight into anxiety. Why? Well, it's because you can't handle the caffeine. You're weak, you're a loser. Your friends say what's wrong with you. And you don't know. And you start to internalize, go, maybe I do have a problem. Maybe I'm at fault, but I do something wrong. It's a society or the faiths in general. No, you didn't. You just can't handle caffeine. It's totally fine. And that's where mudwater comes in. Mudwater's new low-caffe coffee has been such a relief. It's made with organic orapica beans, L-theanine and functional mushrooms like lion's man and cordriceps. So you still got that rich, full-body taste coffee lovers crave, but with only 45 milligrams of caffeine, enough to feel awake and dialed in without the jitters, crash, or emotional rollercoaster. And if you want something even gentler, the original blend is still there for you. The coffee alternative made with cacao, chai, turmeric, and functional mushrooms. They're great. Also, they're not made with GMOs. So if you're in Peru, you can get it. That's right, Peru has outlaw GMOs. In the United States, it's not an issue. Wow, this is loud. I'm back in New York.

Tell all your friends. Told everybody everything. And our buddy got married six months later, as I said, 'cause he was like, I'm not fucking gay. I love women, I'm gonna make Mary one. I know, you fucked in the ass. You didn't know, wasn't your fault. Yeah, so-- And have you been back to Mexico ever since then? I have, yeah, I went with the wife. We went to same place. No. She fucked a dude, she thought it was a man. She thought it was a woman. She thought it had to be a dude. Right. What I think of it does a honeymoon in Metamoros. That's a cheap fucker right there. God, could you imagine? Come on, honey, we're gonna see a cock fight, a donkey show, a hooker, it's gonna be great. If you want a role play, that's a spot. That's funny. That's a spot, just be a hooker. Be a hooker out of bar in Metamoros. That's hot. I like that. I like to be like, I'm not gonna go down on you, you're a hooker. Let a few other guys ask how much I dress like a hooker. Let a few guys ask how much she was like, no, no. And they're like, hey, how much like, oh, maybe, you're very cute. You're like, put on some accent. Dude, does that, do you do the role play? I can't, I'm such a cynical cunt. I can't, I'm like, what are we doing? This is stupid. You're right, you know, it's like, this is made up. Yeah, if I have any fetish, it's leaving after. That's my thing, which they don't women all like that. I mean, the role play is being an actual situation. Being in the, I'm just gonna come over. You're not gonna know my name and I'm gonna leave. I was like, whoa, what the fuck, or, yeah, I got offered once to do a, never end up doing it. They're like, I want you to like, the army. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, and I was like, what? She goes, yeah, I mean, it's all, I'm agreeing now, but like, I'll leave keys somewhere, coming with a knife. Women are wild. I was like, really? She goes, it's a huge fantasy. I want to, I want to have that. But I don't actually want to have it happen. Whoa, yeah. Judy Gold. That is crazy. I don't know if I would, what if there's a ring camera or something? I was like, well, I'm gonna need this in writing. Yes. I mean, it is heavy in writing. That's very Jewish of you. Yeah, I mean, this is a very troubling position. That's safe word galore. Yes, you need to say for it too. Yeah, yeah, huh? Did you do it? I never made it back to that town while I was single. So that was like, I had a girlfriend once when I made it back to that town. And then later, and then I just didn't make it. And then it's just like, I lost touch of her. The knife is, that's so, uh, discerning. Remember it's a promise when he was holding a gun. Yeah, Richie and Real. It's a Janus. Yeah, that kind of shit. We're like, oh my god, I don't know. Yeah, by the way, I was watching that on HBO with my parents. That was brutal because I used to watch the show on HBO. Oh my god. And that scene came on. My mom's like, oh, it's me in the room with your parents. I mean, I'm like, I'll watch a mob show with my parents. It should be fine. Maybe a murder. Sure. That's way worse. Way worse. That was good. She was even hot. I know. So it was like, gross sex with a gun to the head. Yeah. I mean, I came to still. What's more comfortable than having a sexy and come on in a movie and your parents are there. Yeah. I know especially an elevated one. It's not just a sexy with like two attractive people. It was like, gross people, gun to the head on their knees, doggie style. Yeah. My dad took what he's seen in the theaters. A fish called Wanda. Uh-huh. I'm like, it's a heist movie. Yeah, Kevin Collin. Yeah, but then he starts fucking the hermaphrodite lady. Whoa. From Halloween. Whatever name is. Oh, oh, yeah. Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah. And then he's taken over a shirt and he goes, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It was so uncomfortable. My pop is next to me. I'm like, this is, I don't want to be here for this. Oh, brutal. Yeah. I've had a few of them. I saw species in the theater with my friend's mom. That was pretty nice. Oh, that movie is all fucking Natasha Henters, Naked. Beautiful. I couldn't even enjoy it. She's so hot. Yeah. The mom's there. Yeah. Uh-uh. Um, so you've been back? Uh, yes. Yes. Where'd you go in Mexico? Mexico is great because it has these, you know, dark, sad, fucked up pockets like Tijuana and Matamora, but it also has Mexico's sit-tay. Mexico on the low is like 10 countries. That's true. The difference between the Wahaka region food and the Sonoran region food, I'm just making that up, is like wildly different, wildly different, but I would say that you could do the same with the US. Yeah. I mean, Texas is way different than California, which is different than Florida, which is different than Vermont. Yeah. So, and it's, but it's also based on different indigenous tribes, different traditions there. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, you're right. You could say that about America. They're all kind of wildly different. I mean, at least we have a right aid in everyone and a McDonald's and a Walmart, but I don't know that you have that. But look at that. You go Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize. And then that's in the same amount of space as from the, from Chappas to about here in Mexico. Whoa, you're right. So, that could be eight more, that could be six more countries if it kept going with those small ones. Plus Baja. Plus Baja is a different thing. Yeah. And then up in Cancun, America and all those places. Whoa. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, the Cachita Pabell is all like, that's all Yucatani, right? Yeah. Now, how does this work? Because Mexico is obviously Hispanic, that's because it was a bunch of native people. Yeah. The Aztec, the Inca, the Mayan, and then Spain conquered it. And then why is Jamaica not that far and Jamaica is so black? So his Nicaragua is pretty black. I think. Got it in the name. I'm going to guess here. Here's the best when you're here in a second or two later. Oh, yeah, yeah. What's a C? Not a G, thank god. I think it's because our ports are slavery. Oh, slavery. And so they unloaded a bunch of dark right there as they're waiting to process them. So then it became. You're right. It becomes that. Like Virgin Island is all black. Interesting. Haiti's super black. Yeah. And then it's like, they got off there and it kind of just stayed there. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder. It's a part of Ecuador that's all black. It's here that's the northern, like this area, it's Columbia, and it's because of slave ships sank right there just off the coast. They all swam to freedom. Whoa. Because we don't know. We don't know. So you're free. You tell me black people swam. All right. And maybe you're washed up on the rocks. Okay. Yeah. Not area. And so it's very, that's the only place where there's pretty much a large population of black people there. Wow. Yeah. And unrelated. That's where the violence is. Yeah. But it's all from the Columbia and the FARC people coming over the border there. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's the dangerous part of Ecuador. Damn. Well Brazil is like, you see a Brazilian. It's like coffee. They go from-- Yeah. The range. That black to mocha to latte. And then back again. Yeah. Yeah. Put more milk in it. It's like, well, that's the beach down there. Right. Well, I think it may be because you got some slavery stuff. Then you got the Latino. But then you - We got some Nazi in there. - Got some Nazi. - But that might be our-- - Black with blue eyes. - Or is that Argentina? - I think it's all over there. But I think Argentina too. - Yeah, those Nazis got the fuck out. - I really love the Argentina. - Argentina is cool. It's almost too nice. It's like they say it's the New York of South America. - They think they're upscale too. They think they're better than everybody. They do the TH on the Ds, you know? - Oh. - For the point of speed, Theoth. They invented the, not salsa, the tango. - Oh really? - They invented tango in Argentina. - Okay, so you went back to Mexico. - Back to Mexico. - And where'd you go? - With the wife, and we went to Mexico City as you do. So cool. - What a place. - It is the, but first of all, it's New York vibes, but LA weather. It's in the mountains. It's so pretty, but it's got some stank on it. You know what I mean? Like it's got these beautiful lush neighborhoods. I can't even think of the neighborhoods now. - Roma Norte. - Roma was one. - It's two like white neighborhoods from a Norte and La Cadessa. - Candessa nailed it. - Damn, long-term memories, short-term gone. - Yeah. - So yeah, we stayed in a Candessa, and then we just walked to Rome every night, have a great meal, go to a nightclub, go to a bar, go to a park all day. - Food situation. - Amazing. Food was great. I mean, you could just get anything you wanted. They have all these restaurants, but everything was fresh, and it was cheaper, and it was damn good. The restaurants there are top-notch. - Did you go to Poo-Hole? - Who? - Poo-Hole, they're one like Michelin. - Poo-Hole, great gay bar. (laughs) - Poo-Hole. (laughs) - I'm gonna eat the poo-Hole. All right, come to the back. (laughs) - But I always loved about it was the street tacos are wild. - Yeah, very good. - Wildly good. - They have upscale restaurants at the same time. - So you get that lunch at the street taco, but they have lines in there. You'd go best restaurant in Mexico City and they'd go this street taco place. And I was like, okay, so you'd wait in line, and it was cheap and good, and-- - You'd wait in line 'cause the word was out, but also not that long, like 20 minutes. - No, no, and then we did, I'll send you all these photos. - Yes, send me. - 'Cause these canals is a big thing. - Oh, we heard about this. - If you're Google, it's crazy. You go on these canals, it's cheap, and it takes like six hours or five hours, and you go all over, up, down, left, right, and they have guys who swim up on a little mini boat, and they sell you beer. So you're dealing with a guy on another boat, and there it is, that's them. They all bump into each other. - What? - And there's people parting on one, there's a family on another, there's like a bachelor party on another, and you just go all day and you drink, and you can eat on them. Like a guy comes up with a grill, and he's got a grill on his little boat, and you're like, give me two tacos, or two pieces of chicken. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, so he comes up on a boat, and just like, and just gives it, just like sells him right there? - He sells it right there. He's like a. You see, these are the regular boats, but they don't, I don't know if they have, see, that guy brought his own food. - That's a taco boat. Yeah, so they bump your boat next to their boat, and you just give the guy a five, and he gives you 10 tacos. It's a great, you would love it, it's amazing. And there's all these fun, weird statues. - He's on the same house like this? - Yeah, and you do it all day? You got a boom box on there? - You booze? - You booze, you eat? - And it's like regular banks like this? It's not like the Amsterdam canals. - No, no, it's real, it's real nature-y. And you're out there, you're out there in the wild. There's some broken boats and all kinds of. - Wow. - There's tons of ladies out there, yeah. It's a great time. - Wow, where was that? I remember being way, way too far away to get to. It was a ride, you have to jump in a car, and it's probably like a 50-minute drive. - Yeah, so it's like, that's your day. - That's your day, but totally worth it, and you gotta do it. If you go to Mexico for five days, that's gotta be one of your days. - Lunatas, okay, well. - We skipped the pyramids to do that. - Really? - Yeah, the pyramid was a whole thing, so. - Yeah, I mean, sometimes you gotta make a decision. - Yeah, 'cause the pyramid, you go, and then you come back. This is like, you go, you spend the day and come back. - It's actually experiential. We're having a good time, we're doing something. - Exactly. - There's also, when you're going traveling, I don't know how you do it, you're kind of new to it still. - Yeah. - To really open up and take your time. - Yeah, I'm not good at it. - Yeah, well now you're getting better at it. - The life has helped me with it. - Yeah, for sure. Having a chick with you, like researching stuff to do. - Yes. - But you can get caught up in, there's too many things I wanna do, and so you're like rush, rush, rush. - Right. - And at some point, you gotta, let's lose two out of these seven and actually walk around. - Yes, actually enjoy our time. - Embrace the detour, we call it. - Yeah. - Just walk somewhere and you'll find something new where it's 'cause if you're googling all day, everything's a little too regimented. - Yeah. - But it's something that you just randomly find a thing. That was me, there it is. See, there's a band on one, there's a guy with a big stick. He's pushing you around. - And they just come up to you. - Wow. Look at H-Foli there. (laughing) - Yeah. - H-Foli, but it's spelled with a J. (laughing) - H. - Actually, Foli. - Yeah. - Wow, that's cool. - When I went, there was eight million boats who was just bumping into people constantly, so that looks a little more relaxed. - That's interesting. - Damn, that's bomb, I gotta do that. - You gotta do it, you would love it. - Yeah. - You can go out and get a little sun or go hide under the canopy. - And you have a canopy there, wow. - And they have like, these guys playing? - Yeah, that's mariachi, some boats just a mariachi then they pass a bucket to you and you throw 'em a fiver. - And just like, hang out here for one song and then move on? - Exactly. And they're out there all damn day. - Oh wow. - It's pretty amazing. And there's hundreds and hundreds of those boats and they must be a million years old. - Wow, that's very, very cool. - Lunatus, each track, canals of what she will go. - The canals are the canals. - Yeah, so good time, gotta do it. We also went to the Soho House. - Wait, there's a Soho House? - There is, Mexico City is like a pop in place. - It's got that name from Mexico. It should be like a different thing. If it was Germany City, it wouldn't be near this close Berlin. - That's true. - Good boy. - He's just spets a little day and you're like, no, no, no. - Yeah. - He's out of stuff. Mexico City's so, it was so like artsy to me. - Yeah, very artsy, very lush. Big plants, good weather, the weather's incredible. And there's just no rules there, like which hurts them. - What do you mean? - Meaning like they have no regulations on the homes. So there's a lot of, my old joke was, I did two shows there. That's why we went. But I did two shows but there's no regulations on the home. So my joke was there's a lot of dilapidated buildings. Ironically, you guys could use some Mexicans like to fix all this shit. And it's just a lot of cement, shit crumbling and a lot of abductions. As posters everywhere, it looks like after October 6th. I'm just like, we're missing kid, find my kid. Where's my kid? All over the walls. - Whoa. - Yeah, so there's still a lot of shady shits and cartel stuff cooking. Sometimes I wonder if when they're places where like, hey, stop abuse towards women, signs everywhere or stop abductions. I wonder if it is a ton of them or if it's just they have a lower tolerance for it than we have. Or it's like, same amount but we just won't stand for it. So we got to put up signs and stop this now. So when we got murdered last year, we got to stop this. And we're like, oh, that's a fucking Tuesday in New York. - Right, that's a good point. I don't know, but they were everywhere. - Yeah. - But it's to the point where like if you saw a hundred lost cat, you just get overwhelmed and you go, fuck that. I can't pay it. - I can't deal with it. - That's how it feels like kids. - It's kind of like outside Mexico City. So all these blues is kind of stuff I probably was at and this is down where those canals are, it's far. - Yeah, it's a drive. - So what else do you get into? - Oh, well, let's see. Did the shows, did that-- - The shows were incredible. - English speakers? - A little of both, but they're just so excited. They love pods. So they're just the hottest crowd. I had this guy, Carlos opened for me. He's like a little local celebrity. Long hair, glasses, I forgot his last name. - Okay. - And he was a hot, so he opened and he goes for you. I barely speak English, but I'll do my set in English. And I was like, thanks. So he worked on it, brought the English, killed. I went out there and they're just like, "Ah, there's so am." - It could believe you're there. - I don't even know what they know what I'm saying. I'll be like, so I was at Target and I'm like, you don't have Target, but they would still go nuts. They were just the greatest crowd 'cause I don't think people play there. - It is crazy that with the pods they're like, we know what Target is now. We don't think that's actually an passing enough time. So we get up by context, what it is. - Yeah, do you think just people just googling stuff when we talk, like when Rogan is doing an episode and the guy in Australia is like, what the hell is this? - You're like, I don't get it by God. Let me pause, look that up, like, oh it's a store. - I bet they're doing that. - I bet, yeah. - Yeah, like, what the hell's a laugh factory? Oh, it's a comedy club. - I had a joke that just wasn't working in my first like three stops of a European run. - Yeah. - But somebody, it was about Altoids. It wasn't about Altoids, but it included Altoids. And then somebody was like, I saw an American and like, I forget where it was. Brussels maybe goes, hey, just so you know, and I'm like, why is this joke suddenly not working? - Yeah. - We don't have Altoids here. - Oh. - And I just had to change the mints and then it was like back to boom. (laughing) - That's funny 'cause Altoid, if you don't know what that is, it's, what the fuck's an Altoid? - What the fuck's that mean? - Is that a guy calling someone something? - Yeah. So yeah, that's a good one. I had that a few, I had PayPal. - And they just don't do it. They don't do PayPal. - Yeah, that's my brother. He lives in another country that kind of family. He was like, fuck an American. Do you think everyone's on that moment? Yeah, I do think that. - Yeah, I assumed, we are. So yeah, there's a million things like that. You always have to check. Do you guys have Uber here? What do you call? - Uber, yeah. - So, but they were on board. The crowds were red at the two shows. was it a two in Guadalajara after that? - Where's that heart? - Guadalajara wild. - No, it felt further in. It was a flight. It was, I had to take a flight there. But Guadalajara, the crazy thing about that is, I did a gig, two shows at a small rock club, and I was there alone, the lady didn't come. So I just wandered the streets and ate tacos and drank and like just watched everybody, the little people watching. This guy runs up to me, white guy. And he goes, I was at your show. I'm a big fan. I left LA, I'm from LA. LA got too queasy and gay. So I moved to Guadalajara. Not knowing the language, I opened a bar. - What? - And now I sell drugs and run a bar and get laid by all these Mexican gals and I live in like a giant skyrise and it's the best decision I ever made. - Oh, it's more up there. Wow, that's crazy when people call it quits. - Yes. - I'm dumb with this struggle. I finally said I'm out. - He's like, LA is getting weird, it's homeless. It's a, you know, whatever, and he got the fuck out and started his own, a new life in Guadalajara and he loves it. He's like, I went to Mexico City. It was too American. - Why is it like that? - I want it. - I want it. - You should definitely go there. It's really cool. - So what's he gonna do there? - Well, there I just drank at this guy's bar. So I drank for free and he had a pizza shop in the bar. So I ate some pizza and drank there and hung out with him. - How's the pizza? - Yeah, fine. It's pizza. - It's not as good as the Mexican pizza at Taco Bell ironically, but it was still pretty good. And then he's like, I'm going to this party and I'm gonna do a bunch of drugs and he's like a, he's like a hot shit in the town now because he owns his bar and he knows everybody and I was like, I'm going home. I went back to the hotel, but he texts me all night. Like, you're missing out, this supermodel's here. I'm like, I'm good. He was all cooked out. - Yeah, yeah, that thing of like, I got chicks coming here. Dude, I don't want, what are you gonna present women to? - I exactly, exactly. - The idea that these high roller kind of guys have that you think what they think is cool is cool is like, you're just so far off base. (laughing) - Exactly, it's like the guy's like, you got to see my snake. - I mean, even 20 years ago where it's like, I just want to go to their bar where there might be people who were at my show. - Yeah. - And then I'll maybe hit on a girl that way. - Right, right. - You're gonna present this to you. I don't know, I don't know, talk to a stripper. - I know, I know. The whole thing cleafed me out, so I bailed. But cool city. - Yeah. - It's got even more stank on it than Mexico City. - Also street tacos and stuff there? - Everything, everything. That's a clean version. It didn't look like that when I was there. - Yeah, I got to clean it up for the pics. - Yeah. A lot of shit going on, a lot of cool architecture, a lot of statues, a lot of fun. - What time of year were you there? - Woo, it was probably like last February and it was hot. - Did you go to this in Mexico City? - I did, oh, that we did that too. How'd you know? - Well, I'm asking. - Okay. - I didn't know. - Nacho Libre, what do you call that? - Lucha Libre. - Lucha Libre. - You know what that means? - Hold on, Lucha is moon. - Lucha's fighter. - Fighter. - Lucha doors of fighter. - Libre is. - You got this one. - Horse, what's a Libre? - Sort of, liberator. - Libre, liberator. - Freedom fighter. - Ah, freedom fighter, I would never have gotten that. - You want a beer, I feel like a Mandela right now. - Sure. - You got liquor too. - By the way, you know, you put a lime in the Mandela. - Yeah. - That's an American thing. I did that in Mexico and I pushed it through like you do. - Yeah. - And the guy goes, we put limes on our beer to keep flies out. So we keep it at the top, like a little cap. And we are dumb cracker asses, pushed it through. 'Cause we thought that's what you did, but we totally made that up. - Wow. - Oh, fun fact. - To clear the fucking, which one do you want? - What is the other one? - I got liquor too. - Oh, I'll do the Mandela. - Okay. - What are you gonna have? Is that a delirium? - It's delirium. - Whoa. - That shit's strong. - It's my favorite beer in the world for a long time. - It's a great beer, but it's a lot of proof. - Maybe I should have a tequila or something Mexican. - Oh yeah. - I got this, you guys gave me. - What? Oh, I didn't know you took it. - Yeah. - Hey, it looks good. - Oh, Neil, I think finished off with tequila. - Ah, well, you want to split this? I feel bad. - Yeah, I'm gonna do this. I'll show what. - That looks like a Blanco. - What the hell is this? You read that? - This is, it looks like vodka. Yeah, it's from Russia. It's vodka. - Okay. - Whiskey. Hold on one second. - All right, well. - We're going, it's all right, this is not. - Okay. You know what I'm going to do? You know what I'm going to do, you know what I'm going to do? - Okay, go ahead. - Yeah. - Okay. - Okay. I'm going to have some of this. I'm going to have some mamawanna. - What's that? - It's a fucking Dominican Republic. It's got a bunch of twigs in it. I'll try some. - Sure, that's Latin. - Yeah, yeah, it's close. - Lucha Libre. - Lucha Libre is the number one thing I tell people to go do. - Yeah, it was fun. - In Mexico City, it's so much fun. - Super fun, we saw the Midget Wrestling, which was a highlight. - Oh my god, it's fun. - Yeah, and the whole city is out. Like there's a parade on the way there, and then outside of the arena is a fucking, like it's like Mardi Gras. - And it's cheap. - Super cheap, the big beers. Great time, just watch people get thrown around. There's like the white guy and the black guy and the Mexican guy and the big characters. - Yeah, they had a girl one. - Is that how our wrestling started? - It's gotta be. - It's gotta be, right? 'Cause it's so reminiscent. - Yeah, 'cause it's so over the top, like they're throwing each other and it's fake and silly, but boy, it's a good time. And you get into it, you start going, "Yeah, I killed 'em, fuck you." What the hell is this? - It's got a bunch of a niece and twigs and branches will make your boner hard. - It's like a lacour. - Yeah, you punny, red wine and some other shit. - Whoa. - Good, golly. - Wow. - She muchy, it's a great night. - Oh, it's got some rum in there, too, I think. - It's a porous, do it. - Twiggy. - Twiggy. - Yeah. - You can't bring this back full, but you can bring just the twigs back empty and then make it. - Oh, really? - Yeah, but they'll sell on the streets and it's like big fucking jugs, just like repurposed jugs. - Damn. Yeah, it says it's got rum, honey. - It does? - It does? - It does? - The whole ingredients on the back. - No, wow. A tier of Del Moringue. - Raisins, let it sit for a week, then drink it in a short cup, ah, that's fun. - We're doing it. - Okay. - Tell them about the chilebray. - The chilebray, I'm telling you, it was great, when we put the mask on. - You got the mask, right? - I definitely got the mask and me and the wife put them on and you get drunk and you watch the midgets. - You just find what, you go out there, it's outside, right? So all the huts set up to sell masks. - Yes. - And then, by the way, tip, get the masks outside. - Yeah, yeah. - Inside, they're like five times more than the same mask. They're all made in Mexico. - 100%. - And you just find a one that you like to look of, and then you're like, yeah, sick, that. - Yeah. - And they're like, $2.1, whatever, it's more than that, but like, not much more. - No, no. And you get a, you sit on bleachers, it's all very bare bones in there. - But there's like little kids in there too. - Yes. - There's like little kids on their dad's shoulders. Go on, go on. - Right, right. And they have favorites. Like one guy would walk out and they'd go, boo, another guy would walk out and go, yeah, we like that guy. - Yeah. - And yeah, it's just so fun and so interactive. And like a guy gets thrown out and kind of like, falls in your front row of your bleacher area and you got to push him back in. - Yeah. - It's great. - Oh my god, it's so fun. Ever screaming what? - Well, at first you're kind of like, what is this is so silly? But then you let yourself get into it and it becomes great. - Yeah, that's all wrestling. Like, accept the takeness. Don't even think about it. Otherwise, it won't be good. - Exactly, it's same with tits. If you're like, these are weird, just get in there. - Yeah, it's stripper. Like, you only hear 'cause you have to do this for money. Like, dude, the letters say she likes you. - Exactly. - So let yourself believe it. - So super fun. I mean, Mexico just has so many fun activities that they do. And then you could do, we went to a Chomsky. What was it? - No, Chomsky. - Chomsky, yeah. - We went to Chomsky's house. - Good friends, I didn't know where it there. How was that? - That was really cool. I mean, just reading, you read all the little placards written in his house and you're like, man, this guy went through hell getting here. He was a big communist, kicked out of whatever. That's it. - That's the house museum, wow. - Yeah, yeah. Big comedy. - He was big friends with, uh, uh, who's the female artist? - Oh, Frida. - Frida Calda. - I went to Frida's house too. - That's one of my favorite places in the world. - Very cool house. - I was with a bunch of friends when I was there the first time when did the Frida tour and then there's this courtyard outside. It's all painted in this type of like purple blue that's kinda own, I call it Frida, Frida blue. I don't know. The colors. - Yeah, it really pops. - Yeah, pops and it's like, it's all over there too. - Yeah. - I can't really find it here. - No, no. It's fine. - Even in the paint stores, and I try to show them. I'm like, yeah, pull it up if you can. It's made of like berries or something that are only made there. - Oh, really? - I'm just assuming because we can't get it here. But the house is crazy. It shows her bed because she was crippled or whatever. It's this. There it is. Yeah, a lot of primary colors. Yeah, it's this color purple and it's like purplish blue. I don't know. That's her old house and the neighborhood is sick. Like the neighborhood's really pretty and cute and residential. I remember going and doing the whole thing. It's interesting. Get the bed ridden, bed and everything like that. Yeah, so they built her a bed where she couldn't get off her back. So they built her a bed that had a canvas holder upside down. So she could still paint like that. What a commitment. I know. Never stopped. What a commitment. Husband beat the hell out of her. Fucked her sister. Is that right? Yeah, started cheating on her with her sister for a while. It was a different time. But also he's like, yeah, you're fucking bed ridden, bitch. I want to get some. That's a good point. I'd say, come on. I'm on an asshole. Yeah. Husband and while respected are artists, but I forget his name. Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera. He did a 30 rock. Yeah, yeah. He did the walls in 30 rock. Wow. And they didn't like it or something, but he was like. Yeah, there was something with it. He put in some like some like counter culture stuff. Yeah, they go, we don't want that. That's all we want to go. Well, I'm a fucking artist. Yeah, that's where you're getting. That's true. We want artists to be good. But we also don't want them to, you know, fuck up or go outside the lines. I remember seeing all this stuff about Frida. And then like, it's, she's very interesting and like. Probably their best, I don't know, highest rated artists. Easily, easily. And she used herself as a canvas pretty much. Yeah. You know, she like with the big eyebrows and all the, the outfit she had. Yes. Like, this is my, I am my canvas. 100%. But then very interesting. And then I went to the courtyard that she built to be creative, to walk around in these little like pads in her courtyard. And I was just like, I wasn't trying to be a hoki. But I was just like, I was waiting for my friends to go to the bathroom. And then I had a notebook. So I started writing. And then they're like, all right, we're going to the next thing. I was like, guys, I got to be honest with y'all. It's flowing out of me. Whoa. Is that right? Yeah, I'm going to catch up with you. You wrote the whole juice special in that courtyard. Pretty much. That's pretty much. It was just like, I can't, I'm just like, it's working. I get it. Wow. That's cool. The sereneness of it. And the way, I don't know. But it was just like. Nailed it, lady. It was conducive. Yeah. Wow. I guess you nailed it. We got to get a court. We just do a comedy courtyard. Somewhere we can go and all, like, ah, I'm getting a little writer's block. Let me hit the courtyard. Just go being this place where, like, you got to drop yourself on the door. Yes. Come get it. See another comic there. You can bounce some bits. We'll put a bar in there. Yeah, meet up in the middle. If you want to do bounce bits, ideas. Stay off in your corners. But if you're in the middle, that's where people come together. Hey, what you hear? That's good. What do you get? A comedy. I mean, it's basically rehab. I think that's what rehab is for comics. You should have. I would be a fun rehab. If I got to go, let me go with a couple of comics I know. Right. That would be all right. I'm sure Mulaney, if he had a couple of comics in there, he would have had a better time. I had to pick up Bobby Lee at a rehab once. Geez. He called me. He was like, get me out of here. Really? I had to pick him up. He had to climb a wall and pick him up on the highway. On the five or the four of five. What? He was all be waiting at this point. But I'm going to climb a wall and get out. Can you come down? I'm like, yeah. So an hour and a half to a pre-smart phone. Location he's describing on the four of five. Malibu or something? This was like most of the way to San Diego. Wow. And then it was like, yeah, I was like, I think it's around here. I was like, I see a fucking fat short. Yeah. And I pulled over. I was like, get in, get in. Hurry up. Someone's going to fucking nail me. Get in, get in. And he was just drove off. Whoa. It was already hard. Drive, drive, drive. What a friend. How does he never talks about this? Yeah, I don't know. Okay, okay. Wow. You're a good guy. Is this before the fist fight or after the fist fight? Before the fist fight. Yeah. Before. Then he back stabbed him. Then he back stabbed. That's even worse. It was like, buddy, I was your friend. Yeah. You should have called it every time. I mean, like, hey, I got your fucking China man over here. You should draw my back to the entrance. Yeah. You're going to put shackles on this one. I got rules. That guy's one of the best guys of all time, to be honest. Bobby's the man. Yeah. He's not even Chinese, by the way. I was joking. Hurry it. So that's cool, free to call out. Did you do that museum I told you about? No. Museum of broken relationships. I think we did. Yes. I told it's. I was on the fence, but May was like, we got to do that. It's the most underrated. Like, it's a nothing thing. It's not a tourist stop. Well, it kind of fucked me up because it was just the. It's all just so sad and dark. And you start reading shit. You're like, god damn. And then you. You look at your wife. You're like, we've had fights. Look at this shit. It's a two, maybe more story. Remnants of relationships. And it's either boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, or mother, father. Yeah. And it's some of it's like. I remember one of them. And it's this little story next to it. Yeah. So one of them was like, I saved a viral. viral of my tears. After we broke up. After you dumped me. I was gonna give it to you to try to. thorten your face. Mm-hmm. And then three years passed. And I. I just never ran into you. And I think you moved towns. And I was like, what am I gonna do with this viral of tears? So I donated to the museum. And I think about you once in a while. One of them was like, you're my dad. You've got cancer when I was nine. Yeah. And I'm doing this teddy bear. Ah! So one thing I had to remember you by. Yeah, it was too heavy for me. Some of it was funny. Some of it was very real dark. Very dark. It like moved me. And it was one of those why I was just passing by. And I go, what's this one? Yeah. I don't even know the name of it. That's not the name of it. It was something I had to look up every time. And I go, how much? They go $2 to get in. Yeah. Hey guys, let's do this. It's a brilliant idea for a museum. And it's just like all these things. A Lego piece. Yeah. For the smiles you got hit by a car. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. And you're like, what? You know what it reminded me of? You heard of the Mooter Museum and Philly? That was cool. Yeah. Or Mudder. It's like a. My mudder. Oddity? Yeah. It's a guy with a skull with a nail in it. And they go, oh, this guy was on a construction site. And they've got hit with a nail and went through his brain. So they have the skull with a nail in it. Just in a case. God damn. Remember there was the one guy who was so fat he died and he turned a soap. What? That's how you make soap is from fat. His body turned into soap. Crazy. And go to the Mudder Museum and Philly. It's a little pricey. I remember it was like 50 bucks to get in. Yeah. The museum of broken promises or whatever. It was not pricey at all. It was like three bucks. That's why I try and tell people to go to. I'm like, it's a note. If you don't like it, just move on. Yeah. Yeah. It's in the part of town that you should be in. Yeah. And it's just like, just go. Just go. Yeah. If you don't like it, move on. Is that the mudder? It's the mudder. Yeah. Cultural physicians. There we go. There's the oddities. There we go. Yeah. A lot of that. Ugh. A lot of bodies and jars. Bodies and jars from aldehyde. They show up miscarriage. They show up. A fetus. They haven't grossed me out in a different way than the broken promises. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This is like, it got me the same thing. I'm like, I got to go outside. Yeah. There's a hooker museum in Amsterdam that I went to. And that's pretty sad too. Because it's like, I didn't want to be a hooker. I was born. Oh, no. I was just kidnapped from my home as a Ukrainian whatever girl. Yeah. Oh. I ain't long. Wow. Yeah. Mexico. Cheap, expensive. Cheap. Not even Mexico City. Mexico City is cheaper. But it's not like crazy. Guadalajara is crazy. Really? Yeah. I would say that with Mexico City. It's not one of those. It's not going to be those like rural Thailand things. Yeah. Like, I got a whole meal and wine for $3. It's not that. But like, especially coming from New York. Yeah. Where that place that gave our puho. Yeah. Was like, it's a Michelin like five star whatever. And it's like, it was like $75. Right. It should have been 300. Yeah. Easily. And so it's like, you know, not nothing but like, yeah, bargain. Not bad. But the wife got the parasite. She got it two days left and it. No. I was eating everything. Lettuce and drinking water. Lettuce. Are you crazy? You're eating lettuce? Yeah. I had cocktails. They're like, watch out for the ice. Which is what I tell people here. But they're like, watch out for the ice. And I'm like, ah, it's fine. I was chugging drinks. Having a great time. Then when you're hung over, you're like, ah, let me get a little bit of tap water. I'm imparaged. She watched out for everything. Didn't touch a thing. And she got the parasite. She didn't even do it. Fuck up. She didn't fuck up. And she got it. But she got it. Bad. I mean, she could knock it off the toilet. She was shooting yellow goo. What? I had to go to the hospital and get her pills. It was crazy. I mean, she was. She was like, free to. She was bed ridden. She was painting upside down. She had a new. Wow. It was crazy. And she looked rough. And she's like, she lost a bunch of weight. And she was. She was miserable. There's nothing you can do, too. No. It's like, you're just going to have to wait this out. Take whatever pill that your travel doctor gave you. But you're just going to have to deal with it. And she was like, I think I'm better. I think I'm better. And we'd go out and she'd be like, oh god. So she couldn't go more than 10 feet without-- You can't. You get some waves. You're like, okay, it's going to get better. And then you're like, you breathe a wrong smell. Like, back. Yeah. It was bad. Sometimes I think about hate saying that word, but whatever. Cancelations. Uh-huh. And you're like, it's unfair. It's unfair. And it's like, I was about to do a special. I had a show. But imagine you're about to a special. And you get food poisoning. You'll have to just cancel it. You have to. You couldn't do an hour. No. You couldn't do 20 minutes. And you wouldn't be good anyway. And you're like, that's not fair. I put all this money into it. And you're like, I know it's not fair. Yeah. But it's just something that happened. It happened. And I went to the doctor and he was like, parasite. And I was like, yeah. I got walked in, white guy. And he knew exactly. He's like, take this. And he cured her in like a day. But. What was it, do you remember? I have it at the house, it's called the Spanish word for diarrhea and that's what it says right on the box There's a red box. It's at my house still Just in case it happens again. I want that box near me. Yeah, but what's this? It's die or EA. It's very similar Let's see special diarrhea. Okay, pastilla tableta Yeah Oh weird. Oh, you got pill in there Yeah, I think it's dire without the H. So there you go. Oh So you got it there. I went to a pharmacy and I got it in Barcelona late at night once and I had it and I was like I got it. Where's the 24 hour one? I mean you you think you're gonna die. Yes. Oh, you had it I've had it a bunch of times. Whoa Barcelona. Do you know what did it? In Myanmar I narrowed it down to one of like seven things. I was smoking it had these rolled like shitty like beady Almost cigarettes like like Indian ones, but like They just happened there and I was like, you know what I've seen the local smokers like I went to a market It was like me three of those and they go, no, we don't sell three And I was like, why don't we want to smoke one and give one to a friend and maybe have one more if I like it They go it comes and packs it 200. I'm like, no, I don't want 200. I'm like, well, it's $3 for 200 Like, oh, okay. Yeah, right. Yeah, but that I'm smoking them all I have so possibly that Possibly this meal I ate where it was like only $3 but it was a full meal, but I'm like there's no way that could be a Full meal if it's only three bucks my ju-brain wouldn't process so I was like ordered another meal Then I had before that I had like 12 quail eggs. Oh, it's got to be - maybe yeah, and just like and maybe any sort of lettuce or anything Yeah, no water though. It could have been brushing my teeth too So I don't know but that was that Barcelona. I don't know what did it. I had an equitable or two from drinking the water for sure You find that so challenging though because you're hungover you's laying in bed and you're like I got a sink right here Or I got to go out to a five block walk to the 7-Eleven by eight jugs of water bringing all back I Love tap water. I mean you that's a probably live in New York where it's totally accessible. Yeah, it's totally doable So now you got a lug water like an African lady. I got it on my head, you know, yeah You just like you can't you can't keep the pill down right as if they're my son, maybe or something like that Yes, but like and they just like I need this pill. I need it desperately. I'm barf and she's like She's like shivering and shitting and barfing all those things She was bad. I had once in Vietnam where I was I saw some oysters or clams or whatever out They were out on the street and they're like we'll cook these up and I saw them cooked Mm-hmm. I saw where they were stored outside just in a box. Just warm. Whoa I'm like, damn, those look good. I'm like this is that's what's gonna do it. This is what's gonna do. It's obvious and I was like I'm chancin it. Wow I wanted the experience and Coast free. Okay great got off with it. Thank God because you would have hated yourself if I did it That's the problem too. There's moments where you do get away with it and that makes you complacent about other times exactly A little piece of lettuce. Oh let us fuck the one thing you never think about in America I know it's kind of like when you you drink your face off like we did on protect our parks where you passed out on the episode Don't remember that well then, you know, you're laying on the floor. I have photos of it and Then you the next day you go. Oh my god. I want to kill myself. I feel horrible I'm never drinking again and then two days go by and you're like, I have a drink. Yeah Could you feel better? It does help you to tear the dogs. That's true. There's no hair the puke though. No, no There's no like let me have some more fucking Shitty street tacos to get over this fucking disease. Yeah, I'll eat more quail eggs to get over the right Yeah, no, I'm done with those forever. That's a good point, but she was wrecked. She couldn't even walk What do you do in those situations? I stayed with her and I was trying to help her but eventually she was like get out of here Yeah, it's embarrassing just go I mean just see me in the state and there's nothing you're gonna do and you're like feel bad But also I'm always trying this is I want to help you but also I kind of I'm on vacation here Yeah, so I kind of do want you to tell me I'm fine. That was a little bad. Yeah, or can I go to the pharmacy for you? I did that and then I'm out I got a beer on the way you find one one block away. I'm like I had to go on the town I did pass seven taco places apparently yeah, I don't have anything like wiping fucking tortilla off your face She also got roto and another trip your head roto. I don't know if I'm saying it right. Let's just had it. What it's you just can't stop leaking your mouth your butthole and it's not food. It's just a something you catch There you go rob don't mind Lices a serious conditions where damaged moustaches released its contents into the bloodstreams I don't know that's not what I think it's a disease. It's a virus rotovirus Rotovirus, don't look rotovirus. Okay, not disease. Everybody just calls it roto. Okay Fuck it. I'll agree Caused a diarrhea before development of a vaccine most children have been affected with the virus by age five Yeah, you can just get it starts within two days of exposure to the virus early symptoms are fever and vomiting Followed by three to seven days of watery diarrhea the infection caused abdominal pain as well and healthy adults Oh my god, dude. This is the kind of shit that you say that I can just feel people at home going. Yeah, right. I'm never gonna travel That's I'm not doing them, but these are outlier things. You got a travel list got this here. He got it here Yeah, she got in Boston. Yeah Yeah, there you go. You know, everybody just goes for the racism, but you can get a rotovirus as well Yeah, that's true. She got it. We got on a flight to Portland and it hit her on the flight Which is like a fucking six hour flight And she was just like dying on the plane. It was brutal and then we got there I said to put her in a bed and then I went and did comedy shows and just came back checked on her did shows came back Checked on her and then she felt better. We had to leave when I was I had it in Myanmar that the whatever Whatever I was barfing shitting. We're in a small town like a non like it just a stop through town Nobody white there. It's just disgusting hotel. We're sharing two to a room You know buddy, and I'm shivering the whole time like then I keep getting up to shit and bark But it was a shit squat toilets. Yeah, just like the the the foot holes on the side of a hole. Oh, yeah You go to shit for diarrhea. You shoot a little bit. They like oh, it's barf two Like I got to put my knee on the floor wherever he's pissed. Yeah, I put my face right into a second bar It was just like it was so bad brutal, but isn't it while when you're yacking like that you kind of just give in Like you would never put your face on a toilet seat, but when you have food poisoning you're like It's so cold. It feels good. Yeah, you know your standards just drop. I wouldn't if I'm walking in the streets of New York And I drop a quarter. I'm like I don't want to pick that up because I'm gonna have to touch the sidewalk Yeah, and then when you're drunk, you're like all barf and lay with my face on it on the view totally fine Totally fine. Yeah, I'm on the sidewalk, but yeah. Oh, okay. We're like I'm good here. Yeah, are you crazy? I know I food poisoning once I just got in the tub because I was leaking everywhere just out of my asshole on my mouth So I just got in the tub and I remember just kind of laying in it Laying my own filth, but you don't care because it's like I've been so much pain and misery. I don't give a shit what I'm laying in Yeah, boy, this took us. Why did you go to Guadalajara without the chick? I went to Mexico City. Yeah came back went to Guadalajara like six months later. Oh, okay. I didn't go from there But I had to connect when I went to Guadalajara I did connect to Mexico City and then get another flight Can I tell you I'm loving the way Americans are now going to these comedians to these under Represented comedy cities. Oh, yeah, no one that I know since I've been doing comedy for 70 years has gone to Guadalajara I knew a few a Mexican comics who went to Mexico City and only a few. Yeah Well, the cool thing about the Mexico gigs is I went to Mexico with the wife and I kept getting recognized So I called my agent. I said set up a show here. I could sell out here and we did and then I got a bunch of messages. I saw you were in Mexico City. I live in Guadalajara Come here. So I hit the agent again. I said let's go to Guadalajara. How big of a room? I did two in Guadalajara and like a 300 cedar Okay, let me ask you a question. I think we're on the same page on this stuff the battle between money and experience Yes in our own brains. I'll take a hit easily Because you it's such a fun time. Yeah And obviously you played bigger than the 300 cedars of course But you're in a place and it's gonna take you to place and it's all tax deductible if you do that 300 cedar Yes, you're paying two thirds of the price for the vacation and they get your flight in hotel And it's also a weird experience just doing stand-up for those people. Yes Because I want to see their their influence. I was in Romania and I did a joke about Bring back the word retarded and I say it's different than the N word in the effort for blacks and gays I had a woman in the front raised her hand and was like uh, what yeah, what's the f word? Oh, that's great. And I go Well, do you know what the N word is because yeah for black people. We don't say that. I'm like yeah, right. So That's for gay people. She goes Oh, why don't you just say that And I was like you're gonna say it and she goes yeah, she just said it and there was no like hey, right? There's just nothing and I was like oh So from where I'm from yeah, I'm allowed to say that word And she goes why I'm like different culture lady. That's great. Yeah, but it's like I love feeling that from an audience Yeah, of course and Getting what you laugh at what you don't all my biggest clips online or whatever have all been me in Mexico me and London me and I Iceland me in Belfast because I'm like what's up with this and they're yellow shit out you go with it And it's cool to see that would have been a great clip the lady going. What's the F word that's gold? Yeah, but those are my biggest clips because they it's it's a fish out of water You're right right, I'm gonna come to the set as an outsider. Yeah, I'm gonna be me in your town and It's kind of like when Yakov smear off came here, you know, we were like we love this guy I'll do this thing where I don't read the news at all so I'll sometimes I'll just won't want to do my material And I'll just go to like the stand of the cell. I'm like tell me what's in the news. Yeah, like what do me like I literally don't read it I don't know What's going on and something to be like That someone was like there's a war in India. I'm like no when like yesterday I'm like oh really like I don't read it so I don't know. Yeah, and so then I riff on something I have no emotional connection with and I really don't even know the story So I'll take like what's it over this like are you idiot? I don't know anything. Yeah, so you just in the moment reacting to hearing the news Oh, that's awesome That's fun. Yeah, it's fun. It's it's like almost like a mouth of babes thing. You're like a kid You're like it's like telling a kid about eating ass. Yeah, what yeah, you're in Denmark Yeah, you're in Denmark to go have your head to this. I'm like what's that a disease like? That's that's comedy. Yeah, because you're not really even try you just you're just not trying to make jokes You're just kind of trying how you're thinking. Yeah God, it is fun traveling is fun. I mean if you can get rid of the Plans passport the flight the the the car all that but I think it's good for you It's good for you to like land in another in Denmark and be like shit. Do we take the train in? I don't know how to get there. Oh, all right. Well give me a map and you figure it out Yeah, it's uncomfortable and but also once you do it a couple times like that was never actually a problem. That's true I just didn't know but it was never a problem, but some people just aren't built for it They land somewhere and they're like I don't know they're like over when he picked me up And get me to the hotel where I can like lock myself in and look out the window exactly Those people are gonna die alone. It's a it's a less fulfilling life But they're comfortable. I love that you're going around now. I'm getting everywhere the chick helps where it's like I'll go there. I'll stay next week. Yes. Come meet me. So we're going to Greece. I'm doing Greece, Oslo, Helsinki Something else in Dublin. That's the order.

It's like for you to on five hundred dollar gigs.

So maybe I go Thailand never been that South Korea seems interesting Japan seems Thailand is the most accessible tourist spot of Southeast Asia really Most set up a tourist. So if you're looking to be adventurous anyone at home to if you're looking to be adventurous in Southeast Asia But scared start in Thailand and then get deeper from there, but it's it's wild enough. Yeah, Bangkok is disgusting But you need to do two days at least all right I'll do it but but then go out from there and it's like your entryway into a safe Kind of mapped out version of Southeast Asia, and then after that if you like it you can go to more of it You can go to Laos and then the Philippines and oh wow later like me and Mar and he's these team or but like there's a bunch of like okay ones and there's you know But Thailand's a start. Okay, that's good. I need a I need a start But it's still is it too pushy? I don't love pushy Bangkok. Yes, okay, Chiang Mai no Puket less so and then the smaller places no, and then there's resort Thailand, which is just So luxurious really just like this beaches where you can get a massage for let's say it's gone up $12 Wow, and then you go and you get a massage.

I think that people had to die like they had a lot of deaths just to get that Yeah, so just take it over and so it's just a place to store your boat for a minute. Yeah, unreal Okay, the last thing I say is travel advice. Can this could be either specific? I'm gonna go first all right Because I have one please I got a specific or general and I've had general ones like travel light I've had specific ones like went in this place make oh, I'll say won't this is not for this one But I've said it before if you're going to try to bring a small pack of travel tissue paper Mm-hmm because you will need it for a shitting when there's no tissue paper That's a good one. Yeah, so that's a specific one Here's one for Mexico City. All right, in fact, you might want to use for Guadalajara too The street tacos are so good, and you're gonna want to eat a lot My advice to everybody is one taco and move one taco and move it will allow you to eat more tacos Because you're gonna eat four that's so good when you get a lot and you get to another place that looks just as good And you're like, oh, I'm full one taco next one taco next that way you can get seven tacos instead of five in you because you're moving Different varieties that's good one taco and move is my advice. Oh, it's good stuff. What do you got? Okay? Me it mine's a weird one. Yeah something to bring in the suitcase. Oh, okay one Every big trip you go to Thailand, whatever the fuck Bring a little JBL speaker or a pill speaker This thing will change the whole trip now You're not just getting the massage on the beach. You're getting a massage on the beach while listening to Kendrick Lamar Wow, or are you in your hotel getting ready and you got the music going? Let's play some music instead of on your phone to cut.
