Montreal, Canada w/ Ian Fidance | You Be Trippin' with Ari Shaffir
1h 42m 20s
The podcast features a humorous and chaotic travel narrative from comedian Ian Ferdanzio, who recounts a 2006 trip to Montreal with friends. The story begins with a drunken, blackout-driven journey in a van, leading to a series of misadventures: a failed attempt to enter a Hollywood parade, a hostel stay, and a deeply awkward encounter with a 45-year-old widow who shares tragic life stories. Ian, already known for his stand-up comedy, reflects on how alcohol and travel amplify personal flaws and absurdity, turning a simple trip into a surreal, self-deprecating experience. The episode is interwoven with comedic anecdotes, including a fake story about Arnold Schwarzenegger and cigars, which serves as a lighthearted pivot into a promotion of Cigars International—a retailer highlighted for its extensive selection and customer service. Ian also introduces his new travel podcast, "Ian Does an Odd Guy Doing Odd Jobs," where he learns practical skills from local tradespeople during his travels. The narrative blends personal vulnerability, travel mishaps, and satire, offering a candid, funny look at human behavior under the influence of drink and unfamiliarity. Ultimately, the episode celebrates the unpredictability of travel and the value of humor in navigating chaos.
I guess. You know who's cool. It's right. We're all thinking the same guy. Arnold Schwarzenegger. And you know why is school? Some of you might have the wrong answer here. No, it's not because he had sex with his maid and had a child with her and raised him as if he was this full-blooded marriage child. No, it's not that at all. Even though you could tell who it was. It's because while he was dealing with all these smoking cigars, Arnold Schwarzenegger smokes cigars. He's one that covers cigar-oficionato. But how do you get him? You're new to it. If you're a guy, you know it's cool. And if you're a girl, oh, if you're a girl, you smoke a cigar. Oh, that's hot. Probably what that maid did. Turn him on. Well, that's for cigars. International comes into play. They have the largest selection, unbeatable prices, and customer service, experience, a second and none. Whether you're new to cigars or a seasoned aficionato. Cigars International takes and joins cigars, makes them easy, approachable and fun. And now, they're offering free everyday shipping on cigars International. No co-dominums.

Everybody was stage diving. They caught so many people except for me. They caught every fat person ever invented. And then I go skinny like a salmon upstream and I'm fucking done. That is the problem with stage diving. Even just crowds surfing. It's somebody's going to be like, I'm over it. Well, the whole thing is everybody's so packed up front. So it's like, you know you're hitting a wall of people. And in the video, you could say everybody part. I think because I got so high, whatever. That's never how I've always been caught. And I fell so hard on my ass. That's so far. I saw stars. It was fucking normal. The band stars. Yeah. It's so hard. It goes to the element. I didn't see it really mellow. Oh, yeah, where you been and where you go. And this is our reach travel show. Yeah. We're going to talk about travel today. It's you be tripping. Yeah. Welcome to you be tripping everybody. It's a travel podcast. So every week I go to a different place. The guest takes us to some place they've been. It's it's not factually correct. I'm letting you know that right now. It's a pretty factually incorrect podcast. It is the only travel podcast that stands staunchly against Scott. It is not part of the hardcore and punk scene. Oh man. It's his own thing. And actually, whether or not you like Scott, you shouldn't lump it in. It's like lumping in heroin and marijuana. There are different things. And just like heroin addicts should be killed and sent to another island. So should scoffants. My guest today is notable hardcore non-score entrepreneur and Raghur Sainarero. Ian Ferdanzio. Hello everybody. Thank you for having me. You know Ian from a special two times this Sunday. What was it called? Wild happy and free. Wild happy and free and his podcast being Ian with his Jojo's some frumpy whore. Yes, that's we're actually rebranding. Rat in the frumpy whore. You have a rat tail. I feel like you could pull one off. We were going to change the name of the podcast to rat tails. Really? Yeah, but then you could pull it. I had a mullet grown it. Did you ever have a mullet? Do you ever have gnarly haircuts? Aside from what you've done to yourself? I'm up to you. Like as a oh wow. Oh wow. That's great. It does kind of look like him though. It does. Yeah, that's perfect. You really grow it up to your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get strays that I got to pick, but you have to like actually shave. Yeah, this goes I mean it's wow. Yeah. I mean I'm touching eye socket really. What was your question? I don't know. Ian, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. As you know, I've been avoiding doing your podcast for quite some time now. Yes. Yes. Everything in my power to not help you out. To the point where I confronted you and said, do you have a problem with me? Yeah. And I was like, I was like, which one did you mean? And I was like, oh, I thought just the smell. Yeah. I had to confront you because it was on my mind. And I thought that you did. I did let's gang fest personally wrong with you to problem with me. Because we hang out. We go on trips together. But then I asked you to come to Brooklyn for a podcast. You act like I'm like, I live in Manhattan. I'm horrible. I'm a Manhattan guy. You live in a pigstie. In Manhattan. This looks like where those migrants that live on the bicycles stay when they're not a good place. I really do live on the bicycle. Dude, have you have you gone two blocks down? Yeah. The is little sedan. It's crazy. It really is a train out there. That's where I found a Blacks are African or are most of them. Yeah. They eat. They have no shoes on on the street. On the street. They're sitting eating on the street on the ground. Yes. In those little little the tin. The metal. I did was looking for a quick bite to eat. And I came across like, oh, hello, food. And then I grabbed what I saw the pictures. Just a tin. And I'm like, oh, this is, it's got 4.6 stars because they support. They're the only ones eat there. In order to stay in the country, they have to vote high. The friends all ultra. Does it have rice? Does it have some meat ball? Does it have the white sauce of unknown origin? Does it mix? Dude, it is. It's the entire block is all petty cab bikes with grubbub boxes and a bunch of Senegalese men just yelling, cutting their toenails. Cutting toenails, getting haircuts. In the middle of the street, out in the street. I need a direct line to ice in Los Angeles and say, hey, you're getting the wrong ones. You know, come this way. They have this thing of like, of like the UK, like immigration to problem. But then the backlash is like, well, yeah, but late night food now is something because they know food here sucks. There is no late night food. But I'm saying, diners are open. No diners are open is true. But I'm saying in London, without them, there's no Shorma places. There's no cababs. There's no without immigrant in London. There's no late chips. But that's all they had before, before immigrants came. I'm saying, without immigrants here, we're not getting packages and we're not getting delivery grub hub. Dude, we lived without it before, for some reason, I'm taking like an anti-immigrant sense or number. It's the reason just to argue. That's so funny. When you start arguing and then you realize that, but they're like, why didn't don't believe in this? Yeah. Can I just call us? I'm just debating it. Yeah. It's like, well, yeah, but let's not forget, blah, blah, blah, blah. Dude, years ago, I used to deliver pizza in Williamsburg. Is this a lie? I'm not a liar like you. Before I guess, I lied and said he loved Turnstile and he grew up with their lead singer, Aaron, which was Aaron's real swing for the fences. No, yeah, I grew up with the lead with the lead. When I said lead, I was like, oh, shouldn't say that. Dude, actually, I should have been like, on this trip that I went on, we're going to lie. Where are we going today? I lied. This was my lying phase of drinking. When I would, did you ever lie when you were drinking to pick up chicks with a lie that no, but like when you were like, oh, I went to, I grew up with the singer Turnstile for a second. I was like, oh, my lie was, oh, I was a backup drummer and third I blinded. That was backup drummer. That's such a wild one because you need a backup catcher for baseball. You don't need a backup drummer. Drummers rarely get hurt. On tour. Something can happen. Do you know there are? Oh, no, it's hockey. But there's also local musicians where you're like, oh, shit, we actually need a cellist for this. They have like a, a, a go to like stand by, like call. Well, that's like what like guitar techs are. Like if a guitarist gets injured on tour, the guitar tech takes over whatever. Like, there's stories at metal bands like the guitar tech would just play backstage. Yeah. And, and they would like replace them. So on my mind, I was like, there's no way for them to find out, but it is kind of cool if I was the backup drummer and third I blinded. There was some guy in the Boston area that said he was the catcher for the red socks, the goalie for the, for the Bruins and something else like mask, all mask. And people were okay. The center. I don't think this is in the 80s when you couldn't really like look it up. And he was get laid off climber bitches. It never worked for me. It did not. No, because I liked third I blind. And no one else was like third I blind. Cool. Like it was, that wasn't like a big pull. I don't know why. Can I have a hot taken third I blind in the genre of the time anyway? It was the end of white dominance. And, uh, and they're still happy. Go lucky in their music. But the theme started to get dark. I wish you'd step back from that ledge, my friend. But it was like, wish you would step back from that lead. Well, some of your own kind of life is, is about math. Interesting. But it was all pop up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that was the end of white dominance in pop music in music in general. Now it's like whites are backseat for sure to blacks. Well, I mean, it all depends on what genre. Yeah. Crush on. I'm saying the popular in popularity. No, of course in genre. No way. No, country. It's definitely actually is changing out of country. It's gotten popular. And that's all white. Third I blind was before like the strokes and those like lowry side. Let me say it again. Revival bands. Yeah. Let me say it again. It's not white dominance. It's whites not knowing anything else was wrong in the world. And so this is the first crack in the armor of the Reagan 80s.
He's like, "Oh, everything's great. We're off in good time. I love you." Uh, just, uh, uh, what's the Cindy Lopper song? - Girl's just when I have fun? - Yeah, all that shit. And then, and then it becomes like, "Oh, actually, we've been pretty bad to some people." - Yeah, I feel like Third Eye Blind came in at the tail end of like the 90s when everything was good. - Everything's great. Yeah, so that's why I made my peak white. Like, this is all fucking awesome. And some people like, "One great for us." Like, "Yeah, we weren't looking at you." - Yeah. - You'd be in back to the rest. - It was still pretty great, I think. - It's still pretty great right now. - I think the 90s were great for mostly everyone across the board. There's always bad for people, but I feel like the 90s were great for most people. - Yeah. - In a regardless of who you are. - When were you born? - 90s. - 84. - There's a book about your year. - I know. - Yeah. - It's coming, just, it's-- - It's called "Be a Needed With Me." - It's a fucking textbook, by the way. - Oh, really? Okay, so you went up, you went-- - Montreal. - Montreal, Canada. - Montreal, Canada, 2006, December. - This is not, so when you said Montreal, I thought you didn't met the festival. - No. - Interesting. - No, this is peak drinking Ian. Montreal, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve is my favorite day. - When was this? - 2006. - 2006. - 2006. - Hold on, let me think for a second. 'Cause I remember it was '36 when they told me it was two-hole from Montreal. The same year, Duncan and Brendan Walsh got it. At 36? - At 36. They said, "You're two-hole for this." And I'm like, "Dunk and got it the same year." And then the next year, Brendan got it. I'm like, "Wait, wait, wait, wait." I was like, "Oh, I'm just not good." And you didn't have the heart to tell me. So it's actually easier to say, "Well, we're not looking at white guys right now." - I would much rather just here, you're not good. - Would you? - Tell me, "Yes, tell me I'm not good." Tell me the truth. So I can go, "Okay, instead of going, "Oh yeah, it's this thing that I can't fix, "I'm defeated no matter what." - Yeah. - Right? - Yeah. - Like, I do infinitely rather here. You're not good. You, we just don't think you'd have it. - But you know, I'm sorry. - I won't go to work and fuck it, get it. Instead of being like, "We're not taking white guys," and then I'm gonna be like, "Oh, oh, I feel so bad." Oh, the world stacked up, it's like, no. - But you know, if you tell 10 comics, you're not good, you're not good, you're not good. At least one of them, probably six. You know what the fuck you're talking about, man. You're too old, I'm like, "I don't know the industry, okay." - Of course, but how, they told you you couldn't do new faces at 36? - Yeah, I was too old. - And how old are you now? - 38. - I'm trying to think what year it was though. 36, 74, 84, 94, no. Oh, 84, 94, oh, four, 10. Huh? - 34, 94. - 13. - 10. - Seven. - So, 2010 would have been, that's what it was, 2010. - So, in 2006, you was trying to get into Montreal. - Right. - Back to your story, sorry. Needless, needless interruption, terrible. - The only time I've been to Montreal's for this trip, and then I just flew in to Montreal and then drove to Ottawa. - Hi guys, it's that time where I break into the episode, make a needless interruption to bother everybody, to tell you about the guests, 'cause that's what I do, guys.

By the way, Rockwood Music Hall was forced to serve Harvey Weinstein and all the waitresses there said, "Hey, we're not comfortable as when he was out. I don't know if he's out or in now." And they go, "We're not comfortable with that." And they go, "His money's green just like anybody else." And a couple of waitresses quit. Then what 'em got a job at the stand? They're like, "Man, I know, I don't want to start. His money's not green like everybody else. His money's not green like everybody. It's stained with red."

(camera clicks) - No. - Okay, back me up, that's all, that's all. - What was the trip? Tell me about it, what were you going to do? - This was a guys trip, 2006, like December 30th, 29th, to January 1st. - And this before you sucked Dix regularly through Holton Walls? - I never did it regularly. It was more like, treat yourself, foul, you know? It was more of a, more of a mooch-bush every once in a while instead of a full-on archery, you know? And I don't know if you hope it, I don't suck Dix through Holton Walls no more. You ain't been around in a while. - I just do that. - I don't suck Dix through Hols no more, all right? - What if you had a real thing with Glory Holes but there wasn't one around, but could you just pull through the hole in your underwear there? (laughs) That's a nice, nice thing. - I bring my own Glory Holes. - Who were the guys? Why'd you decide to go to Montreal? What was it about? - My friends from high school. - Okay. - We all decided to go on a trip. We would go like, we would all do like trips yearly to either somebody's town that they were living in or some of these guys would go like way to Europe or Brazil or whatever. And then I, I don't know why we decided on Montreal but it was, I don't even know, if it was 2006 and I was born in '84, how old would that make me? - '84. - '22, '23? 'Cause I'm December 31st, 1984. So it was my 21st day in the 20th. - Oh, it was December. - '21 and knew that was gonna fall. - '22, what the hell was that? - Shroomfest thing from 2012. - Masks. Yeah, so I was like 23, 22, 23, 24, I forget. But it was a peak drinking to where I was starting to become like a huge liability to the people around me. - How were you a bad drunk? What would you do? - Well, if you take a look on the screen, that's you. - That's you. - That's me. - Damn, I couldn't tell to be honest. I didn't tell. - That's me. - The problem is, can I do 'em? - Yeah. - Here's the problem. That's not that you're having fun. They're your double festing. It's not even the issue. It's that you're doing it. This is just some lady having a nice time. She's just having a nice time at a bar. It's just gotta deal with this piece of shit. - My nickname was Piggy 'cause you used to put my belly out, I'd slap it and go, "Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain." (laughing) So yeah, this was like two days before the trip. - Okay. - And prior. - Oh, it was before, okay. - So we all decided, I don't know what made us decide Montreal. I guess that was kind of equidistant for all of us where we were living at the time. I was living in New York. Handful, my friends were living in Boston. And we would go home to Delaware for like Chris' vacation. So then we were like, all right, let's go to Montreal. So we loaded up a van and the night we drove, me and my one buddy were like, look, like this ride is gonna suck. Let's just get blackout drunk and we'll pass out. And by the time we wake up, we'll be in Montreal. - I don't hate the reasoning. - It's pretty good. - Wait, but you weren't driving. - No. - Okay, great. I wasn't driving. This picture was them trying to get me into the car. - It looked so fun. - Yeah. - This is fine to get you into the car. - I'm trying to get me into the car. - You're already a problem. - Oh yeah, yeah. - Come on, Ian, we gotta go. Ian, come on, we gotta go. - Here, Ian. - Outside from the bar. And they were trying to get me into the car. And this is actually a picture.
of me earlier in the night. This is me at the beginning of the night. That looks like you, but good old fun time guy and this is the same guy into the car to go to Montreal. So apparently I didn't know this because I was blackout, but we left Wilmington at like 1am and at maybe 2.30 I realized I didn't have my passport in a blackout and they had to drive all the way back to my mom's house for me to get my passport. I think we were like on the road for like an hour and a half. You're a problem. Huge problem. Huge, my name was a liability. I was a complete liability, unable to function, getting in fights, like ruining everyone's time. I have a picture actually of me. Oh, I think there was a shot of my cock there. Let me see it. Let me see it. We won't show it. There was. Let me see a cock. There's a picture I think of me. I just got done pissing on my friend. Oh, yeah. See, however, it was just drinking one shot. I have one shot two shot, two beers. Yeah, yeah. Wow. So it was just, you know the guy from, you know the guy from Twilight? Who? Let's go back to that one. Yeah, isn't that, uh, to the right writer. Him? Yeah, he's named him Twilight. He's in the where else. It's like I was named for Twilight. And he was in Mickey 17 patch. Wait, Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson. You think that's Robert Pattinson? My boner does. Oh, that's hilarious. I can't wait to tell it. Can I have a picture somewhere? Oh, yeah, this. I took a picture of us in the elevator in the mirror on the elevator. And in this picture, my cock is out. I'm taking a piss. No. And I pissed all over this guy's feet. And he really roughed me up. But, uh, yeah, complete liability could not like, I would just drip. Everyone would stop. And I would just drink and drink and drink. And then I'd be the first one drinking when we woke up. And then me, me and this guy here, Joe, we were like the two terrible twins. We went to this mountain called Montre blanc. I've been there. Yeah. It's great. They're lurping outside at the bottom. We I mean, this whole trip, I was in and out of a blackout. And I just remember we went to Montre blanc and he found weed somehow. And we made our way to the top of the mountain. And he just gave me a handful of like weed in a hand with no bag or anything. And was like, here, I found this. I'm like, all right. And so for like a year, I was finding nuggets of weed in my jacket pocket because we were just taking nugs of weed in our hand and just putting them into this little like one head we had and ripping it. It's so funny. It's so the wrong way to do it. Oh, everything was the wrong way. Everything was the wrong way. It was, I never did anything like the right way. The normal way was never a possibility when I was drinking. So who's who went up? Who was it? Uh, me. And man, how many was it? It was our friend Josh Steve Steve. Where are you going? Is this part of the show? Where I just talk. I'm listening. I'm listening. Well, I'm listening. I'm right here. I'm with you. What happened here? Oh, did you get tested? Yeah. I've been evading the bug for a very long time. What movie is that? I'm right here. What movie? I don't know. Vince Vaughn. Uh huh. Wedding Crashers. Not when it crashes at all. Swingers. Nope. He's in reminds you of weed. He's in a foreign country. He's got Anheish or whatever name is that had to go fucking burn alive. Whatever. Is that the one who burned alive? Yeah. Okay. She remember she dated Ellen to get ahead in the business and then dropped right before she knew Ellen was going to be outed and then burned her to death on purpose to revenge. Uh she was really good in a country with not leave Shriver, but some of that reminds me somehow slightly of leave Shriver. And they got caught with weed. But uh swingers are already made as way back home. And so then they go the burned alive lady goes, Hey, you got to go back there because my brother's on on death row. Bro, I have no fucking idea what movie this is. Two buddies and then one of them was shocked to fucking bike. Oh, the guy came back to collect his bike and they found the fucking pounds of week was so cheap there and they go, well, that's Vince Vaughn wasn't it? Vince Vaughn was one of the two guys and they go, you got to go back there and see. And it's a comedy. No. Oh, he's getting. So he's getting hung, spoiler. And he goes, I'm with you, buddy. He's in the in the in the in the present. I'm with you. I'm right here. I'm right here, buddy. You're not alone. You're not alone. Oh, that sounds so brutal. It was a good scene. What movie? Now I have to know what? What's your room? God damn it. Hold on. Vince Vaughn movie. Prison. Foreign. Let's see. Let's see. No, no. Return to paradise. Oh, that's it. He's getting killed right there in that picture. Oh, and that's Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin, who reminds me of Leaves Shriver. You kind of look like Leaves Shriver with that facial hair. Do we run it? We're on it. Let's get back to Montreal. But we were on a Halloween bar crawl. Me and Sal, we got and just Stefano. We got 25 people to get the same Batman outfit and we went and we tried to get in the Hollywood parade. We got in there. Leaves Shriver was randomly walking by and we were like, oh, let leave in too with this kid. He was like, thank you. Why wouldn't they let you in the Hollywood parade? Why wouldn't they? Do you have to sign like a waiver? Like why wouldn't they just let you join like, you know, dignitaries and such. Okay, go ahead. I'm just looking at all of this stuff. Okay. Yes. Why do you fight all birds in the game on your wall? That was for my, it's my bits from my last special. You have a bit about fight over. I do. I do. My closing bit after him. It's about a dead Holocaust in mate. I named it after Fidelberg because I asked his phone once. So I was like to make it up for my name to bid after him. Yoni Fidelberg, most annoying guy in the Holocaust. He's like closer. I was like, buddy, I'll make it up to you, Fidelberg. When he left the room, I took his phone and I just fucking asked it and he was like, I'm getting in your phone. That's disgusting. And I was like, no, I'll wash it because I'm bought and he's out 1,800 bucks and he wouldn't take money. So I named it a bit after him. I made Fidelberg do poppers with me at the pride parade a couple years ago. You were what? Yeah. Bar stole always has me on their pride parade float. Fair. Some like one of the only kind of gay people. Bar stole those. They will talk to him. Besides me, Joey and Pat. Yeah. Actually, I got I don't know if I'm the reason, but they the first year they had a truck the second year they had an actual float. And I mean it's the year after they did not have a float. And there was a little bit of issue. They had me get on the microphone. And they're like, yeah, you're funny. Say get the crowd route up. And I was like, all right, who here believes love is love.

I don't know how much legs Montreal has. It does. You're right there to booze with your buddies. Went there to booze with my bro. Which is a great time. Which is one great reason to drink. It is funny where you're like, "Let's go to another place. We'll just drink a bunch." You're like, "Can't we do that here?" And I'm like, "Yeah, it's better than another." Well, that was like the argument of our, so like, my two best friends, when I'm still close to today. And I still talk to these guys. I would. We never like see each other. But they were like, "Why do you have to go somewhere else to get fucked up? Why can't you stay in Delaware and we'll all have a party? We'll all hang out because me and my best friend Allison, we always spent my birthday together like every year, every year, and then this was the first year I wasn't. Ah, let's see. Hey, see if we get the rights to that. Well, aim is truth. See how much the rights are to that song if we can use it here. And we got like an argument because I had to like, just go somewhere else to drink. And this is around the time when like, everything I did was based on like, drinking. So it was like, "Well, I'm going to go here to drink and it'll be more fun, you know what now." And we went, I forget like, honestly, like looking at the pictures helps because so much of it is like, hazy, but we all got in this kid's van and we just drove up to Montreal. Child's van. We all got a child and went into it. They were trying to abduct but it's a kid's van. Yeah. And we got up to Montreal. We stayed at a hostel. No, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have you stayed in hostel before? Mm-hmm. It's gnarly. You seem like a hostel guy. I love him. You seem like a chews hostel over hotel guy. Oh, sometimes. Yeah. Not for one night, but. Right. Yeah. You meet so many more interesting people. Yeah. Yeah. And you save scratch for sure. For some reason, dude, did you find this? Nobody was like hot until recently. I don't know what it is, but everybody is so hot now. And even in like college, like after college, for years and years, everyone I was meeting was just like pretty frumpy, pretty fine. And now everywhere you go, every single person is hot. It's very strange. I know what it is. What? Instagram. You think? At any moment, women who are the ones more interested in being like, are might be on record. On record. They might run into something to supermarket and be like, I always take a picture. I'm like, whoa, I'm not ready for this. Dude, I don't know. For so long, I feel like everybody was just weird looking and like, okay, with it. And now. And what Janine Garofalo is the hottest actress in America. Dude. She's still all together. But it was a different vibe that we were going for as Americans if she was like the line. Yeah. That was like the. By the way, Janine Garofalo 75 years later has dropped half a point. Dude, she's great. Crazy. But she is still. She's so great. I sat next door on a flight and we had so much fun like talking shit on the stewardess like going by and everything. It was really, really fun. But yeah, I feel like everybody was so fucking hot and looking back at this trip, everybody is like gross and weird looking. And now you go everywhere and every I honestly think it's something in the food that's like making people develop and like look. Ooh. It could be. It could be. So where'd you go? What'd you do when you got there? Stay to the hostel. Went to a hostel. I was coming out of a blackout when we got there. I wish I knew that Ian drinking. Dude, it was a fucking nightmare. It was, it was, it was very bad. You know how some people quit and it's like, ah, and some were like, yeah, finally. Yeah. You were the latter. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. This was the last time. Also, even the people that were, that like finally, there's still a moment in the night where like, can you just be this guy for the whole night? Well, this was like a watershed moment because this was the last hurrah of like, let's give it one more shot to be around you when you're drunk. And I ruined it. And then after this, it was very much like, dude, like literally not answering phone calls, having to figure out where people were and show up and then like, here on the other side of the door, fuck you found out. All right. No. What's up, man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like problem. Problem. No, one wanted to get around. It was bad fucking news. I was either fighting or stealing or like, blacking out and waking up somewhere. The end of this trip, I went home with some woman that barely spoke English. She was like in her 50s and I lied to her and told her I was an investment banker in America and then I had two homes. She believed me, brought me to her place in a part of Montreal where I had no clue where I was. We get to her place. She takes her clothes off. We get in bed and she starts taking out pictures that she has on her like dresser and everything of her family and starts telling me that they're dead and that she's like a widow. And I just remember being like, oh, let's just go to sleep. Like I was like, there's no him going to have sex with this like crying French woman. And then I woke up, knew no English, had to get back to the hostel. The only street I knew was Saint Laurent Street because that's where all the strip clubs were. I was just going up to people knocking on their doors, going English, English, Saint Laurent Street, cab, cab, Saint Laurent Street, English. And then finally somehow I found my way back to Saint Laurent Street, ran to the hostel. The cars packed, everybody's waiting and they're like, where the fuck were you? And I was like, I don't know, man. And then we get in the car and just like drove home, I snuck booze into the car. It was a fucking mess. And yeah, I met the woman at like a McDonald's. Oh my God. Yeah. By the way, that's what separates you and me, what I would have. No, no, no, even I'm going to say even in my like debatuous time period, I still was like, oh, this isn't a good idea. You know what I mean? Like I could not have sex with this woman that was sobbing about her like dead husband and child. Damn. In her French house, I was just like, it's okay, let's just go to sleep. Oh my God. I couldn't push through. It was terrible. I mean, she got naked to tell you about it. I think I have a picture of her too. When a chick takes you over and just gets naked, you're like, sweet, why are we playing this game? That's so much better because I'm still not sure you're making me sure. Yeah, that's like a sign, but then when they take a picture of their family, with them into bed and starts pointing and crying and telling you what's going on, I can sleep good at night knowing that I wasn't like, let's talk about it later, you know, I was like, okay. I'm gonna go cry once and then I was like, oh, okay. Really? And then like, and then like, she'd be like, are you just not gonna try anymore? I'm like, okay. And then you try for a while that you cry about some like dead, dead person in her life. And you're like, oh, and she goes, why aren't you trying? And you're like, come on, man, I got a handy in the end. So that all we, this is her. That's the, oh, we can't show her. But that is funny. She's pretty though. Let me see her. I can see her. She's alright. Not bad for a widower. So you just went back to her place with you. That's her house. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. Back up. I went home with this 45 year old woman. Let me see. Zoom in. Zoom in. What? It was happen. Oh, that's her. I think she was like writing her number down or something. She's like, I'm gonna fuck. And then, this is her house. I took a picture of her house, because I was like, no, that's me. I got an ad for a candidate, Patel. Kalash Patel. Yeah, that's her. Oh, my God. He co-hosts flagrant, too. And then. And then I took a picture of a street sign, somehow, I don't know what I was thinking. And then this is everyone. This is film. Mad at me. Are these film days? Oh, yeah. This is all of us.

Oh, this is not happening So they asked me you to see on the right there were like so people put a curtain here Yeah, and they go why would they put a curtain there and they go why outside of times when they shoot here and they go Why would they put cafe seating? I don't know what kind of seating you had We took all the cafe seating out and did actual crowd seating so the guy asked me goes I don't know why these people come here and put Actual seating in here instead of cafe seating and put a wall here and I'm and I go and I'm looking around like looking How would look from on stage as I'm scouting it and I go do you want the actual answer? And the guy's like what I'm like, I mean, I can tell you the actual answer. Yeah, I don't know these comics who's to have done that But I know the answer and he goes what is the answer? I'm like, okay, so we feed off energy and The more people you get the more hyper it is so cafe seating is for people when you could probably get like eight in that same area Because there's no tables so then it just like bigger laughs and then we put that wall in our curtain to wall off This like blank space. Yeah, and it goes well Like no, that's the actual answer and it goes Well, that makes sense actually. Was it Steve? Maybe gray hair Steve. Oh, yeah love Steve.

Yes, I was fucking blackout drunk. I tried to reason with her. I was like, don't you want me to find love? And so that's why on January 1st I couldn't call anyone because I was at all my minutes So that's why I'm running around going get me to Saint Laurent Street So then that way I could figure out my way back to the hostel Because I had no way of contacting anyone You know it's called Roo You know it's called Roo Skull Roo It's called Roo What's Roo Street What is that? The main Roo, Roo Saint Laurent Roo Saint Laurent Yeah Oh Boulevard I don't know. I just know that was where all the fucking strip clubs were There's also like ice cream shops and niceness. I mean, I've been here a ton of times from my for JFL And I think that's where we we did an unrelated show to this time to to the end Yes Actually, we did have a name back then it did not so So yeah, we're doing a precursor to the end at Clio Patra on Saint Laurent Tran Nii Jimmy sexual 20 sexual Traini vestite Yes, strip club Called Clio Patra I got to get up to Montreal And the best things I ever saw was some of the comics you did the show Have you ever done it in life? Not even live? No, you've done it live The your story time show? Yeah I did it the store Yeah, yeah, you did it Yeah, I called it in
- It was fun. - I didn't get asked to do the taping. - No, no. Your name came up. It was shot down pretty fast. - You mother fucker. (laughs) - I loved on the old days not happening, which is a different show. - Yes. - People were like, "Hey, they suggested me "and they said you didn't do it." I'm like, "Butty, like Brenner." And so I'm like, "Your name never came up." - Really? - Whatever rep told you that it came up or whatever your contact was at Comedy Central, that's a lie because I was on every call. - Yeah. - And trust me, you're my friend and I would have fought for you and I had to pick my fights. - Yeah. - Your name didn't come up. - Yeah. - And he's like, "What, am I deal with that?" - Well, at least my name came up and it was shot down. - He didn't was shot down, I guess. - Now, the person that shot it down, are they in the room with us right now? (laughs) Is that person with the proximity to me? - It was already as someone who's a charge of the show. - It came up at a point where we're like, we're not looking for anybody at this level anymore. - This level, what are you talking about? - We had like, fuck it, we have six arena acts on the show. - Oh, and then you were going to. - Yeah, we got some mid-level people, but like, the people who have done the show and killed her a bunch of times. - Well, that's hurtful. - Yeah, we had unlimited time for sure you would have been invited. - Well, that's nice. - Yeah. - Thank you. - Yeah. - Can we just at least say I'm a little above mid-level, like high-level? - I'm mid-level. - You're mid-level. - You're high-level? I'm mid-level, you're high-level? - No, no, no, like, I think you're above high-level. - Above high? - Yeah. - No, shame. - What are the levels? - High-level, which I guess got to be split up. That's shame, Nate. - Oh, I thought he was a arena-level, high-level, mid-level, low-level. - Well, I don't, then Norman's high-level. - Okay. - Norman's bigger than me. Sam Rill's bigger than me. Stop is bigger than me. They're not arena. - I don't think they're bigger than me. - I think you're right up there with. - Way more tickets. - Really? - Yeah, I'm. - You're so good. - I said, I'm not, I'm not happy, but I'm a club to occasional theater. That's mid-level, and then low-level. Well, there's then like open-micro. Then like you don't work. And then like low-level is like, I'll sag a little is now mid-level. Mid-level is pretty wide. - You have a mid-level sound, so insulting. - Yeah, that's my mid-level. - You're not mid-level? - Yeah, we need more categories. 'Cause all you gotta is mid-level low. - Yeah. - Mid-high-low. - Yeah, either way you cut it, it's insulting. It's a win to be brought up. It's a knock to be called mid-level. - If, tell you what though. If like when you did the show at this comedy store, if it was like, oh my God, that was one of the best stories I've ever heard. Your name would have come up earlier. - Ah, so I failed the audition. - You lack of talent. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It wasn't an audition. It was just like, it was good. - It would rather hear that. - Yeah, it was good. - Then no, sorry, you're too old. - Yeah. - Okay. - Yeah. - Fair. - Yeah, no, if we ever bring it back, you'll be too old. - Oh, fuck. - No, if I had more time too, it's just like, it was just like, yeah, anyway. I wanted to use everybody. - Yeah. - They just couldn't. - It's so hard to be on you for the fucking. - And then you know the hardest part? I already got to wrap this up, but was like when you want to has a high level person, a high, like, mid theater to like above theater act, and go, I'd like you to do this, but I got to see your story first. And there are agent managers like, no fucking way. Make the offer or not. And it's like, I can't make an offer if I don't know what they're gonna do. - No way. - I can't just make an offer. So then I'm like. - Was there anyone that you were like, sorry, we can't? There was like, so super big. - It was just a cold people. I'm like, I don't know how to do this out of insulting them. I gotta see what you say for you, Jordan. I gotta see your story. I would have to see what you're gonna do. And then let me think about it. And a lot of people would, and I'm like, this isn't really a story. - Yeah. - Or like, if it was fine, it's not there. And I don't have time for you to get it there. - Really? - Yeah. - And it was great, but it's like-- - And you helped him develop it? - No, he didn't. - He did it on the road for like a year. - No way. - Yeah, as a story. - He's about getting robbed. - Interesting. - Yeah, getting held up a gunpoint like kind of kidnapped and whatever. But it was great, but he had to work on the road, make the jokes good. So it's like, you can't be like, you're gonna have something good in a month? - Yeah. - I don't know. - I have so many stories, but they come out in the moment, like actually finding like a story and like structuring and working on it. - And go, what part of this is important? How do I do? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I was like a shank where I'm like, back up way too far. - Do you think, on the success of this, do you think you'll make another one or is this just like a one off? - I think it's done. The whole point of this. Who knows what the future holds? The whole point of this was to finish off. Sorry, it's unrelated. It's unrelated, but I had another show that was stolen from me. - I know. - And so I wanted to do something unrelated, but make it like a big-- - I just wanted to end on my terms. I wanted to do, so it's called the end. - I like that. - Plus the story at the end. - Yeah. - Yeah. - This is the end. - That's the name of the book. - So you've never been back to Montreal? - I flew there to drive to Ottawa. - The Chess Weekend. - The Chess Weekend. - The fucking hot there in the summer. - I gotta go. - They're on bikes with like shirts. - I should have called my agent tomorrow about Montreal. So-- - Oh, it's not a good point, city. - No, no, about going up for JFL, on like a showcase show. - You should, because all the people are running in its way smaller now. - I'm in old face. - I can't do new faces. - You could do nasty show. - I'd love to do nasty show, yeah. - You could do, you know how I booked nasty show? I was in Montreal. This relates to travel. It was in Montreal open for some, like a mixed martial arts commentator. - Rogue. - Oh, you know 'em, yeah. Okay, yeah, Joe Rogan. And some chick in the audience and there was wild times back there. So I'm in the back with the guys from Sconq Magazine. They had this new water bong or whatever. It was like gravity bong they made. And so, and I hear Joe Rogan going, some lady's like, "Mah-ah." It just comes out. He hits him, drunks back then in the audience. And it was like, "I'll show my tits." And he goes, "If you show me your tits, "or you'll show you his dick." And I'm sitting with this guy from Sconq Magazine, Leonard. And I go, "I hear that." And I'm like, "I'll be right back, man. "I gotta go." And I just, I balled out, you know? And then I went out there and did, I mean, I've done it a thousand times already. You know, it's a comedy store, guys. Yeah. And the sound of 1,400 people, he's saying flaccid dick. So wonderful, such a wonderful sound. It's just amazing. So you're a shower, not a grower. I'm a grower. Oh, I'm not a shower. It's ball goes lower than my dick. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, so you pulled out tiny. Yeah, you know? Otherwise, it's offensive. Wow. Okay. Anyway, then they call me, said we'd like you to do the nasty show. Because of that. They promoted the show they were in there. Robbie. Who runs Netflix now. All of us, we were there. And I was like, "This guy is a pervert for the nasty show." What year is this? I think like '78, '77. Okay, I got a fucking thing. Acting star coming. Not acting. Whatever it's called. A Big Manhattan. A musician, a Big Manhattan musician. Oliver Tree. What the fuck is Oliver Tree? Manhattan. He helped me find joy in Manhattan. Bro. Former Razor Scooter, professional Razor Scooter. Oliver Tree. This fucking nerd. Oh, yeah, he's a nerd. This was a good episode anyway, though, Ian. I like this. It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. It was fun. It was kind of pervert for the episode. Who teen? So they speak French and Montreal. We should've covered that. They speak French in the French part. They do not like English in Montreal. I don't know if that's changed, but when I was there, maybe it's because I was the one speaking it. We were once. We saw some backpacker from Quebec City, which was very French. Montreal split. So Quebec City, and he was like, "This is what he was talking about." And we're like, "Oh, we don't, uh, we're all drunk at the festival." We're like, "Oh, we don't speak French." You should speak French. And we're like, "Oh, we're not from, we're not from Canada or from the United States." Oh. But still. Like, what do you mean, but still, like, we don't, we didn't take French. Like. Oh, yeah. Somebody later was like, like, I could establish it. This is Quebec City people. Like Ward. Are they tough up there? They're like, hardy. Because it seems like everyone up there is just like a pussy, like because I just associate French with like, uh, no. I know. But there's, there's the mean streets everywhere. There's heroin in Alaska, there's fucking, you know, there's parts of everywhere. I think, I don't know. Yeah, you're like, Arkansas? No way. But it's like, there's heroin there. There's nothing. Oh, yeah. Out in the sticks. Cap really used to joke about Montreal, the Montreal tough guy is like, "Shut up, Pierre dog." Yeah. "France Wilde." Yeah. Um. Cusca C. And so you got sober right after that pretty soon, ever? No, I got sober. I tried in 2008, then I went to rehab in 2009, and then now I have 10 years. So I fell a lot. Yeah. Are you still worried about it or not? I mean, if, if I don't take care of things, it could sneak up. Do you have, like, ah. No. Actually, dude, when I was in Ottawa, I went into a pub and I really wanted like soup. It was like kind of a rainy day. I went to a pub and there were all the, what? You don't like, like a hardy bowl of soup or anything? I have never gotten bar soup, and no, I've never once got bar soup. Just a cream of broccoli on a hardy, woo. And I went in and it was like all this merry-man, like, some guy was like, "That's what all you need to know about the Italian league." And all of his friends were like, "Aha, ha, ha, ha." And I was like, "I want to be that guy." It would be a regular bar. Oh, yeah.
But then I know every bar tried to be a regular at, I got banned from, you know. - You're not allowed to be a regular. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I would have loved to see me in drunk. I wouldn't have liked it. I would have liked to have seen it. - No, you would have hated it. Hated it. I mean, if you think I'm like annoying now, imagine just like slurring and drunk and fighting and spitting and stealing, you know? - Yeah. - Robbing. - Really? - Yeah. - Not like strong arm, but like. - Yeah, when they're not looking. Yeah. - Bad, bad stuff. - Thank you, Ian. Everyone check out Be an Ian with the front queen and check out a special while happy and free stamped approval by Dave Chappelle and Ian do his new travel show. - Yeah. - That'll be out at some point. - Yes. - When this comes out. - Thank you. - It'll already be out. - Buddy, I love you. I tell you what it did on your podcast. It just ran out of time. I had a month here and I wasn't, I was like, oh, at any time, I wasn't thinking, I'm not thinking, oh, I gotta get back to these people. You know, you gotta harass people at the right time, but not too much because then it's annoying. I get it. - I understand. - Same with this. - 19 minutes is a track. I get it. - No, it's having to be somewhere and then go for a fucking hour. Having to fucking, you know, I mean, I don't know what your sense of smell is from all the coke, but your co-host stinks. - Bro. - Stinks. - Did you catch her after boxing? - No. - I catch her. - You said she's fine. - No. - Must've caught her on a. - You got coke, nose. You don't smell. - You know, cigarette. Taste buds too. - Yep, taste buds. - Can't taste her smell. Bro, so fuck you. She can stink if she wants. - Oh yeah, I just don't want to be next to her. - You can stink if you want to. (laughing) - All right, thank you, buddy. - Thank you, man. - Yeah. - Oh. Hey everybody, sorry. I dozed off during that episode. But what episode it was, huh? You in finance. Thank you very much for coming in, buddy. That was cool. Man, what a different Montreal that I always did. I pretty much only went to Montreal for just for laughs. For the Montreal comedy festival. It's interesting, I have a love hate relationship with that place and beginning it was love it and then hate it 'cause I couldn't get in. And then once I got in, buddy Robbie, Robbie Prall got me into the nasty show. You know how I got into the nasty show? It's one of the biggest shows in Montreal, even though they're way bigger shows, but it's like one of the most important shows, probably Slate used to host it all the time. I met Jimmy Carr doing that. I saw Luis Hikey do a set. He told me actually I mentioned it years later on an all episode of The Skeptic Tank. Those were all gone by the way. He goes, hey, I saw you do a joke. You slow motion jerked off two dudes. I always remember that, good joke. It's like thanks, Luis CK. Anyway, I think that very show, he was gonna go on later after the intermission. And he goes, how are they? I'm like, dude, they're great. They're gonna be terrible for you. What do you mean? I'm like, dude, they're so ready to be too drunk. You're not gonna like it. And I was right, he didn't start yelling at him. Isn't that crazy? The highest level comedian there is. I mean, no matter what your category is, no matter what your breakdown is, he's top five ever. Even that conservative way. Easy, if you wanna pick number one, easy. No one's gonna be like, how dare you? If you did them out of the top 10, you're, okay, you're being difficult for no reason. That's what a great he is. And on that night, on that show, the crowd was just, couldn't handle it. And he was at his prime right then. That's when he got into that discussion about, I've mentioned this, it was that show, about how to build new hours and like, the joy of it and stuff like that. It's crazy. It's crazy. They were better for me than for Louie's UK. Dumb, crowd. Dumb. But he had a different experience there. My first the way I finally got booked in a nasty show is they wouldn't book me on new faces the big show. They wouldn't book me, wouldn't book me, wouldn't book me. They'd talk about callbacks, wouldn't book me. That was a hack. And then he saw me open for Rogan at the old club soda. And there was some heckler. And he goes, she was like a wreck. He was like, show us your tits and she goes, no. And he goes, tell you what, if you show us your tits, Ari will show, we were partying back then. Ari will show you his balls or his dick. You know, at the time I was in the back in the green room with the guys from Skunk Magazine. It was a weed magazine. Can you believe it? What are those magazines are? What a little weed. It's legal now. Why would you do that? I mean, I guess they have cigar fish and not. So I'm wrong. And they'll show me a new made to order gravity ball. Not the kind you make in yourself in your bathtub. Shout out central Washington. But I have made one. That's actually that gravity ball that gave me. Lenny from Skunk. Shout out you. That's the way I showed Big J. Oakerson and his wife, Christine Oakerson, how strong the LA weed was. He said, LA weed is the same as New York weed. And I said, you're out of your mind. You were tired, AJ. You're so dumb. You don't even finish off your gloves. And he goes, prove me wrong. And I had the super blue dream, which was high end, not the highest end, weed at the time. And we were both shivering in the corner afterwards. Maybe it's the gravity ball, maybe it's the weed. Maybe it's a combination of both. Maybe it's just friendship, you know, gets you high sort of. So it was already pretty high of friendship with Jay and Christine. Anyway, so I heard that. I was in the back with Lenny. And I was like, oh, shit, I gotta go. And I just, I mean, me and Rogan used to party so hard on stage. We used to have so much fun. I got jerked off by some lady in, I think West Palm. Take Fletcher saw it happen. But she had just jerked off like a bunch over the people. And I kissed her. No, I licked her hand first. I think I did a story about it on this, not happening. And I heard him go, we talked about it the next day on stage. We were having a blast. Those days with Rogan, I mean, I'm not who I am as a comic. I'm not even close without him opening me up to those kind of crowds. It was so fun. Just go and do whatever you want, bro. Do whatever you want. There's no rules here. That's how you fucking unleash somebody like a loser like me is telling him, hey, there's no rules here. I didn't say in Portuguese. Never stop. I was like one artist. I saw that T-shirt. I shouldn't have fucking got it. It was a tank top. It was too high. Anyway, so I came with my deck out. The crowd makes a certain noise that over 500 people makes when some flaccid male dick is out. I've never, never fallen out of love with that sound. You can call me low bra all you want, never fall out of love with that sound. Is this cool? See my face go in and out of the shadow? Hold on. Alan, is this cool? Alan. Put on here. Alan says, cool. Not cool. And then make a circle around one. Extra work. Today's episode is edited expertly by Alan Caffe, this produced by your mom's house network. Listen, guys. Ian. Oh, so anyway, so I put my deck out. The crowd went nuts. The next day, I got a phone call so we'd like you to do the nasty show in Montreal. And I talked with Robbie about it a long time and he we agreed that my style of nasty is not like a obligatory nasty. It's the same as big J. Same as Jimmy Carr, actually. Same as Adrian. It's like, we can't help it. It's not sex dirty. She's like dark dirty. I was at the time. Very sex dirty. Now I'm more dark dirty. I've learned a lot from Adrian. Yeah, and we don't like the guys that are pushing and trying to be dirty. And Robbie, like the guys who are just like, I can't help it. I'm really sorry. If you want to walk out, you're not wrong. The odds I'm recording. You can check e an out on his website, e in finance. This phone is dying. I dropped it in some water that had a poop in the toilet. I put it on a roll of toilet paper on the back mistake and then I heard it fall. And I dove for it. Guys, it wasn't good toilet water. Me on a stick the night before lots of cheap beer in there. Wipe it. Wipe it. Whiped it. Hands sanitizer. Wiped it off more. Little pieces of shit on the fucking towel, which means it was on there. Worked for a few days and stopped. It's going on and off. I don't know. Long live the fucking Moto G4, 2024. As website is e in finance.com for dates and tickets. You can go to punch up dot live slash in finance also dispelt for dance. Yeah. He's by. His Instagram is E N E animal 69 E animal 69 Ian is a homosexual, but he fucks a higher level of woman than I ever did, which is what makes people hate gays in the first place. Stan your lane. His podcast is a standard podcast so you guys all know the old one is being Ian with Jordan. He started that. He was a bigger crime within Jordan, Jensen eventually, which is being Ian and then she was like, you know, I need a little name in here too and she goes, how about you being with Jordan and she goes, "Can I get my full name?" And he goes, "No, you cannot." If my full name. name's not in it, your full name's not in it. And then eventually she got much, much bigger than him. She eclipsed him. And eclipse is not a fat joke. She's not fat. She's just like nothing bodied. Ian personifies, I'm sorry, Jordan personifies a nothing body. She is the little brother you always had. When she puts on makeup, she looks trans. Anyway, eventually she got way bigger than Ian. I'm sure tears him up. It probably really, really bothers him. And then she fought for the last name. She got it. She goes, I'll walk. She did for a short time. That's Hollywood Hardballian. Jordan walked for a long time. And now it's being Ian with Jordan Jensen. He's also got a new show at YMH called Ian Doe to show where he finds local tradesmen in the city's he's touring and learns how to do their jobs. I mean, that's gotta be once I call it mansplating. I can do your job. Ian Doe, you can find it on his, where is this on his YouTube account, right? Kind of his YouTube. Ian Doe by Ian Fire Dance. My travel show. Oh, it's a travel show. Well, that's great. This is the last episode episode one K nine training. That's his first episode. He's got four videos as of right now. This will come out in a couple weeks. As of right now, I haven't worn shoes in four days. It's been pretty nice. Ian also was a solid comedian because I really like him. He's high energy. We've traded gum before on stage. Ian, whatever happened to that clip, you should put it out. That was a fun, fun night. A comedy seller. I miss comedy. Actually, I don't miss. I just have fun memories of it. It's pretty sad actually. I have no missing of this at all. By the way, subscribe. We're every watching. Let's leave a comment, guys, for the algorithm. You can start leaving comments for the algorithm. Maybe some insult, you know, from the show. How about for this one? I think you should be called Jordan Jensen with being Ian. Jordan Jensen discovers how to be. I don't know. I could've done better there. That was on me. Ian's on the road. What better chance to see him do stand up comedy on the road? Yeah. He's at the comics all the time and she'll like that. But if you want to see him do a full fucking hour, probably 48 minutes. Head over to punch up dot live slash Ian finance or for dance. Again, he's bisexual. He's by where he'll be in Balmore, Maryland. Oh, my home stay at the poor comedy club this weekend, February 27th to 28th, 27th and 28th. Two shows each night.

But first of all, let me point this out. Ian about your website. This is Ari is autistic about websites. Nobody has a worse website than Ari Maddie, by the way. I mean, built clearly by a cold war survivor. March 15th is a Madison, Wisconsin. March 15th is a far better North Dakota. How can it be in both those places? How can it be in both of those? And then March 20th, Kansas and Missouri, the funny bone, that's his date. I believe that's his date. April and Manchester, Connecticut, Calgary at the laugh shop, wrong room.

Sarah Toga Springs, New York, Phil Delphi at Helium. That's a great club during the main room. Congratulations. And then Miami, Florida, Rosemail, Mexico. But Christchurch fully loaded crews. You're not going to like the kind of crews. It's not the kind of crews your people want. But your people want in is also known as a priest, crews where it's mostly dudes. That's what you want. Where international waters can't judge you. God can't even reach you. Now let's go back to that date before it. Let's see who the fuck he's opening for in March at the Alliant Energy. Hey, maybe he got so much bigger than I remember that I owe him an apology. And I'm willing to apologize. I'm a guy who apologizes. What I'm wrong. I should not have dose per crescent. Kobe D. Treat ruled and probably had to be shown. Madison was County, a light energy center by tickets. Let's see. Let's see. Okay. Oh, wow. What do we have here? Must be a misprint. It says Berkrisher. Wow, it says Berkrisher. What do you mean? But I thought it was a, I thought it was an in finance state. Berkrisher is $35 tickets, standard admission, row age, back row, but good for you, Burt. 35, 78. And now let's see what ticket master does when you get two of them. 71 for upper level. See, 71, 56. That's what it should be. Confirming availability. Let's get two tickets. Oh, do they make a law saying you have to show? I got to wrap this up. You have to show the actual price now. Let's see. No, I don't have an account. What? Remember account, we're prompted to create one. Oh, damn it. I'll just get my shit. Fuck off. Well, Burt, you just lost to sale. I'm sorry. Ian, you just lost the sale. So now, let's go back again. Do you think Ian is in another? Wait, I'm sorry, Ian, finance. Let's get far more Dakota. March 15th. Let's see with that one. Is that the shields arena? Get another great in finance builds. Well, this says March 14th. Burt, hey, can someone talk to Burt real quick? Burt, I have a couple words for you. Number one, your shoe, the Burt Crusher flip flop. I can't speak for the slide. But the Burt Crusher flop is the most comfortable flip flop ever worn ever easily ever. I've taken it to so many countries now. I mean, probably nearing on 20 and it served me well everywhere. Shouldn't get it wet. $45. There's the lowest one there. It's an arena all out. But Burt, I got a message for you. Your openers not pulling their weight. Now, you have your guy in finance taking credit for your show, your hard work. You never got it to an arena arena. Do you know who plays at the fucking? Where is this? Shields arena. I actually don't. I actually don't know who plays there. I actually never heard of it. I don't know why they would have an arena there. All events. Fargo first, first, first, waterloo black hawks. What is it? Minor league hockey? The Madison capital. Oh, it's the Fargo force. Is this minor league hockey? Anyway, Burt, he's not doing his job. He's telling the wrong dates. People going to show up on the wrong dates. I didn't get tickets. Ian, I trusted Ian. He told me. Now, Burt, let me ask you a question because I know you've taken guys on the road who've just been great with pit barbecue. And that's great because they added something to the tour. Absolutely. Now, if you're bringing Ian, bringing Ian to get lots of fucking hot horny dudes, then I take it back and I talk to apologize. Ian is the best at corralling hot horny lubed up and also possibly not lubed up. If that's what you want, if you want to not lubed up, dude, listen, Ian's not about problems. Ian's about solutions and he'll get you a not lubed up dude. It's going to be hard to find because these dudes love to lube. Guys, I mean, what am I doing here at this point?
